Yeah, we got this Wednesday Caitlin Bristow from, she actually won Dancing with the Stars. She won Dancing with the Stars. Tell the folks what you did. Oh, I go, you know, Nikki talks about getting first voted off.

How does it feel to be able to just say the beginning of that sentence it's pretty shots fired i like shots i'm fired i mean she said it was the hardest thing she's ever done in her life yeah i mean you said it was the hardest thing and 10 weeks and i mean i don't know how she doesn't know how she did it she's i actually referenced it i reference it all the time it's one of the things i'm most proud of. Saying that you got first voted off is just hilarious, and I'm grateful for it. But at the time, it was just devastating, and I've talked about it ad nauseum. But this weekend, I got to do the greatest thing

that I've ever done, and I just want to talk about it a little bit. I had a crazy week last week. So I flew to LA on Wednesday because I had an audition on Thursday for a movie that just came out of the blue, and it was screen testing for and I don't even know if I've gotten it or not yet I probably shouldn't talk about it yet no you got

it I just found it what's that I just got oh she's the lead it would be insane if I got it Martha Stewart died it's a really big role in a really big movie um and my audition was with Francis Ford Coppola and I um Who I thought was lost in translation. Yeah. Because I thought that... Andrew was like, she's amazing. Or he's amazing. No, I said she's amazing.

She's amazing. Yes. So he thought it was Sofia Coppola, his daughter. But Francis is a girl name now. It is a girl name. You're right. Well, I think it always has been. Yeah.

But I... So yeah, so you get this audition this audition there for that um i got in on wednesday night i went to dinner with spade and um tim dillon and ben avery tim's producer it was really a fun dinner i didn't know tim and ben were going to be there we had so much fun um but how do you feel even way before like let's let's you don't really go on that many auditions as i don't go on any anymore because I just don't do well in auditions. I'm really good at getting up in front of thousands of people, but it's a waste of my time memorizing lines, hiring an acting coach,

flying sometimes to cities, putting myself up so that I can even audition. So the reason I – years ago I just decided, and I told my agents and my manager, I just don't want to do this anymore because I don't even know if I want to be an actress. I don't even – I don't know that I've enjoyed it that much when I have gotten a chance to do it. And I'm good at it when I do it, but every role I've ever had acting-wise has just been given to me by friends. And I just – So my point, though, is –

Not doing it anymore. Here's something you don't do anymore and then you go I've had the best audition I ever had where I did get a call back was for a pilot with David Schwimmer and I got to read with David Schwimmer and and do improv with him where we just did a scene that was like basically like what the gist of the scene that I had to memorize was and they were like just go with it and we had so much fun i just like i i felt like i knew him just from watching friends for so long and i killed it so when i'm when i'm able to work with other people and not auditioning is very weird because you're reading with someone who's not reading like the character you know they're just reading kind of bluntly they're behind the camera you have to just like mime things it's very it's just so awkward and I feel like it's just not the

it's it's something that I can figure out how to I could get good at it but it's going to take too much work and I just didn't have time so I just kind of said let me just steer towards scripted and or unscripted tv and stay away from scripted until it's my time and so I got this call randomly that said um a producer for Francis Ford Coppola wants you to screen test which is like you you do an audition then you get a call back then you make it you can do another call back then you do a chemistry test then you do a screen test the screen test I didn't even know what it was I had to ask David Spade like what is the screen test like I called Adam Ray as well because he books a lot of stuff and I'm like what does this entail am I going to be reading

with someone because it was very mysterious and they were like we really don't know it could be with someone and um but what it was was reading with Francis Ford Coppola no I'm just trying to put that all into perspective because this is the godfather like literally the godfather like he created the god like I've never seen the godfather by the way it's probably a good thing you haven't because you don't realize how great it is and how much people love this dude. I honestly went into it with just thinking of him as like a normal man with a flawed man,

just like anyone is, but who's very, you know, obviously has a body of work that is so impressive that I haven't even begun to delve into it because I don't have time to appreciate it. And it just, it's my mom's favorite movie, The Godfather, you know, it's everyone don't have time to appreciate it. And it just, it's my mom's favorite movie, the Godfather, you know,

it's everyone's favorite. I mean, yeah, this guy, this guy saw every actor, you know, every single, well,

male actor, you know, is because of this guy. Like, you know what I mean? Like he is a legend and he's seen everyone. Yes. And when you think about this and his daughter,

Sophia Coppola, and I really do love her work, you know, like he, and he, um Coppola and I really do love her work you know like he and he um yeah so I was I got the call when we were still at Perfect Strangers and they sent over the script and I gotta be honest I didn't look at it until a week before the audition because I I'm just telling you that to make everyone else feel good about procrastinating I have the chance to screen test which means I'm like one of maybe five people being considered for this role at this point um and it means you're you're shooting on the cameras that you're you're shooting you on the cameras on like a sound stage in a very like Hollywood like setting that's what I come to find

out what it means and a lot of times they will have the actors that they've already maybe cast or thinking about casting, do it with you. But I was just so nervous about it that I thought if I don't look at it, then I don't have to. It's like when you have a messy room and you just don't go in that room. What's a scapegoat to go, well, I didn't try my hardest.

And boy, did I do everything else instead of those lines. Cleaning, running. Oh, I thought you meant improv. Writing my book book i did everything else except wanting to look at that and then finally audition for another movie i finally pulled i didn't even read the script i didn't even look at it like it's not like i didn't sit down to memorize it i didn't look i didn't want to look at it so when i saw it was just two pages

long i was like oh fucking thank god um but i then memorized it um started working on it pretty hard and started just kind of treating this a little differently than I have other auditions where other auditions I'm just trying to be what they want and since I've taken a maybe four year break from auditioning I feel like in those four years I just know who I am I know what I'm capable of I have self-esteem i was thinking about lady gaga like lady gaga before she was lady gaga and made her career in music she wasn't an oscar-winning actress she wasn't on that level she had done a cameo in the sopranos where she was just like hey you give me a light like that's all she said so it it doesn't matter what your experience is you could just like wing it and be the perfect for the role and so much about auditioning is just being what they want and you don't know what they want so just be you and i thought

just boston university and so i thought i'll just go in and just be myself and really try to and i just got done watching amy's new show um life and beth and i was watching so many of my friends and amy like in this show and like just being themselves, but like also the character and seeing how because I know them in real life, I can see what they did. And I'm like, I like that. They didn't try to embody this new character, invent something out of thin air. They're just themselves. Yeah. But a little turned up.

And then I get to L.A. and I start freaking out. And I'm like, I need I, I can't believe I didn't do an acting coach. Like, what am I thinking? I did that for like pilot auditions. Why didn't I do it for this Francis Ford Coblo movie? So I called up my old acting coach and she did, she zoomed with me and really helped me out and was just screaming at me to stop touching my hair because it shows insecurity. And she told me in a movie, you don't act you're not acting it's not a performance you need to really feel those feelings so you need to find a way to think about someone that makes you feel that this person in the scene makes you feel like have you ever had something

like this happen in your life and i'm like uh yeah and she's like okay that person is me you're talking to that person and then suddenly everything shifted because it was like I was just myself really I wasn't trying to perform and um but still I was nervous as hell I mean I did I I uh read with her in the morning you know an hour before I went in so I was like I was feeling good coming out of that but I was also like what do I wear I'm going in they did my hair and makeup first I was in an hour of hair and makeup then I go in and I'm like I you know

I can kind of glean what the part is about but it's just a scene that's kind of I didn't read the whole the movie wasn't sent to me so I do think doing F boy

where they give you a script an hour before you got to get in front of 30 and I know you're like well that's not acting you always downplay it no it's a performance for sure it's definitely a performance it's a higher version of yourself yeah and you

have to think outside yourself and you can't let the moment because dude that's the thing is when you do f boy you're in front of 150 people and it's gotten so normal well perfect strangers the first day the first day of first first uh season of strangers too or perfect for the first season of perfect strangers too i was very nervous and then you just go no i they know what they're doing asking me to do this and so i'm not going to go in like i don't deserve this this what yeah and i could can't like i get my point is my point though is that you doing that this is the difference between how you practice guitar and then you're like oh no i got a guitar perform you are putting in the fucking hours without even realizing it yes and that's like

i love that process when you go holy shit like what like you almost stumble on it like oh i'm ready for this because i've put in the hours here that can easily transfer to this. I was lamenting to Chris about not having prepared enough and how I'm squandering this opportunity because I'm procrastinating. He goes, the difference between two hours of work and 50 hours of work when you're at your level are really indiscernible

because the work that you put in has been done the thousands of hours leading up to this all of the stuff that you've done like yes there would be a difference if you worked a little bit harder now but the massive amount of work and i i often forget that that like all because i treat each thing like singular things and i don't think about all the the stuff that came before it and so um yeah it was so i get there yeah and real quick i just want to we can interrupt this too because no i i know you have a thing um we can do it after the break are you sure yes i have so much to talk and i wanted to get to wilco too we might not get to it on the

show but um so i go in um i have no idea what this is going to entail i get to this like sound stage with where they're shooting a bunch of movies. There's like hundreds of people like running around. There's like a wood shop where they're building sets. It's like real move. I've never been on a set like this. And they send me to this room and I get in there and the cast, this really nice casting director is there and and this hair and makeup lady and the hair and makeup lady is like,

well, look at who it is. Good to see you again. And I was like, oh, no. Like, it was kind of like a tone of like, and I'm like, do I know you? She had a mask on. And she goes, yeah. It's your French teacher? Yeah.

Oh, my God, Madam Hood. Ham drip. And I'm like, and thank God. You know when you're like, I'm so grateful I remembered someone's name. Even though I worked with her so much. There are people I worked with every day on Not Safe that I don't remember. But she was my hair and makeup woman for Not Safe. And thank God I remembered her because I was like, Gina?

And she was like, yeah. And I was like, oh my God. So I knew the woman that was doing my hair and makeup. That's a good thing. It was awesome. It made me feel so at ease. And then two seconds later, the producer guy who asked for me to audition for this comes in. And I had the feeling they're just looking for comedians for this because I heard about one other comedian auditioning for it.

So I'm like, oh, they want a comic. Now, how does that make you feel? Does that make you feel more free to be funny or that it makes me feel um it made me feel less special because it was like oh they're just picking hot lady comics they're not like because the material that the way that she and i actually were fairly similar but i could just tell that they just were like okay i was like i'm probably gonna run into my top five i could have given you a list of who i was gonna see that day but it was just me because they had scheduled us so that we wouldn't overlap. So I went in.

I'm sitting there. And then the producer comes in. And he says, well, I thought he was the one that found me. And he's like, I've never seen your act. Tell me about it. What's your shtick? So I told him. Sounds like an old-timey producer.

He's an old guy. In his late 70s, 80s. Yeah, yeah. And he's awesome.'s nice and we're talking then i start talking about living in st louis which they were all shocked to hear and then all of a sudden come walking in the room behind me um i see their attention kind of go to this guy walking in the room and i turn around and there's francis ford coppola walking up to me but can you pick him out of a lineup you've never seen godfather no. No, but I Googled him. So is it just an old man?

And I'm familiar with, even before that, I'm familiar with what he looked like. He looks like Pavarotti, doesn't he? And he also had a, kind of, he also had a name tag on. Did he really though? Yeah, because when you check in there, you know. Oh, okay. So he had a little sticker on, hi, my name is, and FFC.

And so he pulls up a chair and he's like i just want to talk to you about this role thank you so much for being here he was so warm he told me among every he talked for me for 25 minutes probably and i'm not exaggerating that it was like a long time he sat down he told me all about the movie all about why he wanted uh comedians because he's like this woman is smart this character is a smart woman and he goes and I was thinking about who the smartest people are and the smartest people I find she goes she's she's sexy and she's funny because the smartest women are funny because he goes I worked with Robin Williams he was he directed Jack and he was like I've never met anyone

smarter than Robin Williams and it was because he was just smart people are funny which I already loved him calling me smart I was like okay cool and he goes and women who are sexy are smart people don't think that but they they're intuitive and they know the thing that works to make men stupid and pretty much the essentially the premise of my entire HBO special coming out is that you know sexy women are doing it because they know it works and that they've it's it's calculated in a not in a bad way plain dumb it's the idea of like uh appealing to men's sense of what's a possum you know an opossum plays dead yes that's what a hot woman does yes they play dead you so then you could have played up this thing that makes men kind of yeah numbed out and

they give you things and so i told him that and he loved it and he said the things he said to me that i loved so much he goes you are perfect the way you are nothing about you don't need to do anything in there i'm going to read with you and we're going to do an improv scene and then we're going to read this scene with me we're going to make you up so they did me up like um a roman goddess they had all these like costume jewelry he's like we don't have a costume department so wearing what you wear is fine i asked you to bring they asked me to bring a bathrobe too because it's like roman setting and then i put on this like beautiful beaded headdress and this like crazy necklace and then i did my makeup like cleopatra so i felt like so in character which helps me so much and he goes

you're perfect the way you are whatever you do in there you there's no way you can mess this up your parents for you to exist right now it's a miracle that you exist it's one in a you know a hundred billion chance that you exist right now as you are and that is perfect and then I did the scene and I fucking I don't care what happens i had the best time i improv'd with him he asked me for one he goes think of just any line from a play you've done before i'm like i was you know jewish townsperson b and diary van frank i don't i think it was we just had to go oh you know or like did you know um and so he was like pick a line from anything

maybe your act and i picked a taylor swift uh line and he goes i'm just gonna ask you to say it in a bunch of different ways like okay do it as if you are saying goodbye to your son he's going off to war say it like you're reading it off a tombstone say it like the nazis are torturing you i picked um i might be okay but i'm not fine at all and so i just did it a bunch of different ways and i fucking and it was an in a studio a darkened studio with like tons of crew. I mean, it's like really the spotlight's on you. And he goes, I said, I go, do I want this to camera or to you? And he was like, whatever you want.

I go, I want to do it to you. And so I looked him in the eyes and was like breaking up with him, crying over him. Did you cry? Did you get tears? Oh yeah, I got tears. I did. I went there. It was crazy.

I did. One of them was I was being tortured by the Nazis and I had to like pretend like I was being tortured and that my line was the code word that was gonna give them the keys to the fucking universe. And so there was all these prompts and then we read the scene together. And afterwards he held my, he walked me out,

held my hand the whole time and said, I'm gonna say the same thing I say to my granddaughters. How did you get so beautiful and i said i think confidence i think that's what it is is like i like like myself now and he said i think just genetics and i was like okay did he really say that yeah and then he um signed a bunch of stuff for my parents it was awesome so that was my parents were there no my parents he asked me if i wanted one of the he had wine you know he winery. And I said, I don't drink, but I would – my parents do, and they would love it. And so he wrote to EJ and Julie, love Francis.

It was awesome. We got to go to break. So that's my story. I was getting in touch, man. I was touching. Yeah, it was awesome. We're going to go to break, and we'll be right back with something special. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year. It's going to be filled with money challenges

Responsible and driven, and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community

Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe

by knowing the real deal on fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. And we're back. We're going to get to the news in a second, but Noah, what did you want to tell me or share with me? All right.

Well, I have something very fun to share with you. Let me just get my music. Okay. We're going to play a game. Okay. And the game is called, is it Taylor Swift or Jeffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales? Oh, my god. Are you down for this? Okay. Did you come up with

this game? I did. And the best thing is that I have the quiz set up for besties if they want to play it after the show. Oh my god. Amazing. I'll link to it on our Instagram. But won't they know the answers because we're about to play it? Well, if they want to test their friends.

Oh, I got it. I love that. Oh, Noah, that's so fun. Let's do it. I like that she had an answer for that. You know what I mean? Her answer was perfect. It was perfect. I thought a lot about this. Alright, so again, you're going to tell me... Is it okay? I'm okay, but I'm not fine?

If it's Taylor Swift... Or if it's the Canterbury Tales. I read the Canterbury Tales in college. It was the one thing that I did read. Why are my eyes here? Spark notes of. Okay.

All right. I think Coppola's speech to you made my eyes tear. Really? I don't know why. That I was perfect the way I am? Yeah. I don't know. It's so sweet.

I know it was the best thing you could ever say to someone. But you could say that to yourself going into anything. So keep that with you. Okay. Let's get to it. All right. Who said it? If gold rust rusts what then can iron do oh that's uh chaucer andrew canterbury okay you're both right that's okay then they compared a woman's love to hell to barren land

where water will not dwell andrew canterbury both of you said canterbury. Both of you said Canterbury? Yeah. You are correct. Ah, yes. Yeah. Okay. Taylor Swift.

I mean, I don't think there were porches in Canterbury Tales, so I'm going to say Taylor Swift, but I don't know what song that is. You know what? I'm going to, you know what? I don't know what song that is. You know what? I'm going to, you know what? This is great. I'll make it a little harder for you, Nikki. You have to guess the song. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. It is Taylor Swift. I'm going to guess it's off her first album, Taylor Swift, and it's a song I don't know. It's from Mary's song. Yes. That's from her first album. Okay. If you're going to test me,

pull from that album. I don't know it as well. And pull from any book. Yeah. Okay. The man who has no wife is no cuckold. Cuckold was very famous in Chaucer. That's Canterbury. I remember learning about what

a cuck was back then. Okay. You're both correct. Can you imagine Taylor Swift having the word cuckold in a song? I mean, it would have been faster. You can thank Tim McGraw. Getting cucked by Faith Hill. Yeah, I love those lyrics. And there are no rules when you show up here.

You divide 13 by two. That's too few for Taylor.

Yeah. Only two more. I was confused. Wait, what do you mean? I mean, Taylor puts out so many songs. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I have just two more.

She's too young for such a death lyric. Does she have lot of i really appreciate that quiz that was really fun i just like talking about oh yeah she's got um well my tears ricochet i believe is the one where she kind of um talks about committing suicide not her but like the character um so yeah she gets dark for sure and she has i mean her most sad song is it's the saddest song that's ever been and it's called uh ron oh wait ronan ronan no well that one's sad too but ronan is about a little boy with cancer who died and it's so fucking sad i can't even i played it one time when i was doing an instagram live and i started crying and i you know yeah i'm on pristik that keeps my tears at bay you know i'm on no medicine right now?

No medicine? Whoa. I know, I'm free-balling it out here. Holy shit. I know. And I shot two over par, so. Oh, yeah. Andrew shot two over par.

If that means something to you, that's a big deal. That means I'll never be on any drug again. Let's get to the news. You heard it here first. You heard it here first. Yeah, you heard it here first. All right, it's Tuesday, folks. You know what that means.

It is Tuesday. Is it Wednesday? No. Monday? No. Any other day? No way. Wait, you're associating shooting two over par with not being on meds?

Too late. Okay. Day. I'm just saying be careful with that stuff. No, I know. I'm just fucking around. All right. Am I?

It was something that came out pretty quick. All this swells out there. That was an insane news start. Okay, Noah, it goes back to you. Okay. People on TikTok are using nasal tanning sprays and doctors are warning against it. Have you heard of this trend?

Nasal tanning? What does that mean? So basically, they squirt some kind of nasal tanning spray that is not FDA approved, and the products claim to have melatonin in our synthetics, which is a synthetic chemical that acts like the hormones that our body creates naturally. Experts say that these compounds have far-reaching side effects

like permanent darkening of the skin, nausea, vomiting, and even sexual side effects like unwanted erections. Well, nausea and vomiting could be a side effect for alcohol. People still do that. So I'm going to write that one off. But tanning spray up your... What is the effect they want to get? What are they trying to do?

So basically they're saying you spray it up your nose. It's going to create this synthetic melatonin and you have to go out and stay in the sun to get a richer tan. Oh, so it goes in your system for you to get tanned so you take this through your nose. Oh, I thought it was about tanning your nostrils, almost like bleaching your asshole.

Okay. That's what I was... I'm on board. Anything... I mean, I always say if there's something... I'm obviously not on board, but if there's something that could change my skin tone, and I know that's, like, a weird thing to say, but if I could just do a permanent spray tan, I would.

But this involves going in the sun. And it involves, like, permanent changes to your skin and going in the sun. Yeah, I don't want to do that. And also... Did you have a thing? Melatonin. Oh, melanin. Isn't it the same melanin? Because melanin oh melanin isn't it say melanin

because melanin melanin's your skin the melatonin your skin tone it's actually i stand corrected it's melanotin m-e-l-a-n-o-t-a looks like the news is coming back to me oh yeah we're she's passing it back um i got a lot of you to manage here. Did you have a thing when you were like probably ninth? So you were probably in like sixth or seventh. No, no. Tanning beds were huge in my high school. I used to do that. Especially in Florida.

Girls would go in a tanning bed and go right to the beach. Like it was, they're all dead now. Oh, yeah. Or go to the next tanning salon because you couldn't double up the same one. Oh, shit. Yeah. But were kids addicted to Afrin? Remember that?

No. But I remember maybe hearing about about that it was like a big thing well medicine does get you a little bit fucked up yeah i mean people take cold medicine they're like i'm out but just that feeling of of snorting something yeah so i don't know yeah i i hope people aren't doing this it sounds like they're eating fucking i'm on slippery elm that's my new thing for my throat it's i read it on some you know that new york magazine thing that i love from the strategist where it's like celebrities say their top 10 favorite things that they can't live without someone said slippery elm lozenges and drops i put them in my water and it really makes my throat like so i've always been looking for something that helps my voice and other than having surgery which i need to do or um oh you thought it was like lube or to get my ring off

i honestly thought it was sexual do you still have the ring on yeah the ring is still on i gotta just be honest though i have not tried to get it off again aside from just like you know naturally just going like and it won't budge so i i all of these things that the windex and the um you know what i think we should do the string theory we should do it we should set up an insta live and and do all the things and get the ring off yeah i'm why don't we do it on like wednesday night or something or wednesday i'll be in new york oh um i'll come back wednesday night from new york so we'll see um okay, next news story. All right, another TikTok-inspired story. The tag, the hashtag shortking

has more than 329 million views with some users calling the increase in interest shortking spring declaring short guys the new kings. I mean, I like it. I'm five nine and a quarter half. It's such a funny, it's hilarious that that's, like, it rhymes. Yes. You know, if this were in fall, we wouldn't be talking about it.

No, it'd be short king fall off a high stool. Wait, wait, why? Trying to reach the cookies in the cabinet. These kind of fads go and they come it's not a horrible thing I love celebrating short men and not disparaging them and having them be

sex symbols because Zendaya is towering over they're saying that's what the trend is is that where it's coming from? Tom Holland. Yes, Tom Holland. That makes sense. Well, great.

You know what? It really shouldn't matter. I mean, I'm very blessed that I am height blind. And I just don't see height. And it just does not matter to me. A guy being short has never mattered. What do you mean? You're eye blind. You don't see them because you're not. Oh, yeah. It just does not matter to me. A guy being short has never mattered. What? Huh? What do you mean?

You're eye blind. You don't see them because you're not. Oh, yeah. Like, I just don't know. I've said this before. I just don't know when a man is tall or not. Like, I can be like, okay, yeah, but it just, it doesn't register in me this way some people do or it doesn't, you know, I went to my freshman year dance.

The first dance I went to, I went with the shortest boy in the school who was probably shorter than you at that time. How short were you? I was second shortest in my grade. It was me and Clay Elliott, and we were really firing. I'm taller than Clay now. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I ended up growing.

He actually shrunk. It's crazy that you ended up growing. I really do think a lot of your height stuff was like your parents' divorce. Of why it stunted my growth? Like stunted you. Yeah. Well, my brothers aren't that tall. They're taller than me, though.

But it affects people differently. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, especially because they wouldn't let me leave a crib and they would only feed me turkey every now and then. You eventually caught up, but do you think that when you're... How old were you when your parents got divorced? 13.

Yeah. Which is apparently the worst age. And that's when you're supposed to be growing. That's like your growth spurt starts. And when did you start growing? Not until you were like 16? 17. Yeah.

So it seems like something, I would guess something traumatic happened during that time that would just make you have late puberty. Like you wouldn't have gotten your period until 17 if you were a girl. Well, I remember my dad said, I will stay with your mom if you're a pube stay inside your body and that's why you're checking him every day in the front in the backyard in the sun all right let's get to the next news story what was i gonna ask about that though wait can i ask one more thing wait what were we just talking about because i had a question for you short short fling short oh isn't it crazy that all it takes

is one tall actress to change a whole thing though it just like people aren't and so the idea that people won't attack the stage oh for chris rock punch yeah it's like no it's you just need one example and it makes it okay and will smith and by the way he wasn't admonished it would be another thing if there was a repercussion for what happened. Well, we don't know. We haven't checked the news yet. He probably got another Oscar. I know.

We're still talking on, this is Monday, by the way. So yeah, maybe he, I don't want him to take away his Oscar. I mean, it's a separate issue. But the fact that he was still sitting there afterwards really surprised me. Just as a comedian, when you get get heckled or especially if you get assaulted that person is being pulled out not if he's well i just want to i can't wait to find out what happened behind the scenes i loved that picture during the commercial break where his publicist was crouched down next to him oh i didn't see that yeah oh yeah and timmy haddish was talking to uh

jada i can't wait for chris rock to talk about this for 30 minutes. He's gonna fucking... You know Chris Rock talked shit about Jada Pinkett a couple years ago when she wasn't there. So I think it added up. Sure. So I think Will was waiting for him to say something. I don't think he had any plan to do what he did. Even though he did tweet like,

we're bringing the chaos tonight. That was the caption for his Instagram beforehand when it was just pictures of them getting ready for the chaos tonight or like he that was the caption for his Instagram beforehand when it was just like pictures of them getting ready for the Oscars or like you know like on their way or something it said something about like

bringing the chaos I joke that Kevin Hart's like man thank God I made those gay jokes 15 years ago all right maybe Will Smith

has a new album coming out oh yeah it's a big conspiracy who does Will Smith oh yeah I'm surprised Andrew. Oh, yeah. It's a big conspiracy. Who does? Oh, yeah. I'm surprised Andrew wasn't like, I just think it's probably Will Smith trying to get. Yeah, my tinfoil hat.

I did love the tweet with the blinky thing where it was like Will Smith trying to make people forget, you know, the men in black. Oh, yeah. That makes you forget what happened. I liked that. All right. Let's take a quick break and come back with Why Do I Care?

I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour.

He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated.

Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven, and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused.

I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened. And I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community.

And I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to CRIMS as part of the Michael Dura Podcast Network.

And then me too happened. And then everybody else wanted to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem. My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade, and off because the white said it was okay. Problem. My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade and I called to ask how I was doing. She was like, oh dad,

all they was doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school. And slumflower. What turns me on is when a man

sends me money. Like, I feel the moisture between my legs when a man sends me money. I'm like, oh my God, it's go time.

You actually sent it? Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect podcast network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you go to find your podcast. Why do I care? Why do I care?

Alright, I think you do care about this. Taylor Swift will receive an honorary doctorate of fine arts by New York University on May 18th and will also be speaking at the school's commencement at Yankee Stadium. Oh, my God. Wow. Oh, those lucky grads. The official award that she's going to receive, the title is Doctor of Fine Arts.

Oh, my God. She's going to be a doctor. doctor of fine arts oh my god she's going to be a doctor yeah dr taylor dr ish no i mean like that dr cosby that's he made people call him doctor when he got like one of these fake doctorates i know so should we go based off that that it's real no but i mean like you can get away with calling her that now no i know she's not going to do that but i'm sure it'll be a talking point um you know that's awesome and um i think this is a way for you to get her to fucking talk you know but that's still i mean there's i hate being a negative person like that like you do things because you might get something out of it like you know it makes sense. Did she go to college? I'm not trying to. No. I mean, that's.

Wow. But I always say that whoever just reads a ton of books, just do that instead of going to, I mean, you know, get your degree or whatever. But the smartest people are people who just read a lot. Whenever I'm like, wow, that person is so smart. It always comes out that they read a lot. Always. It never isn't that way.

And if you're lazy, just don't go to college, sell 100 million records, and you could be a doctor too. You know what I mean? That's what it shows kids. That's all you got to do. You know, you could do it too. Oh my gosh. I think like, aren't they teaching a class too on her lyrics?

Yeah, that seems like ridiculous. But you know, it is fun to have. I mean, it's fun to analyze art. There's tons of college classes. I took guitar. I took body movement. There's always those ones that are just fun and get headlines. If you have Swifties out there that are trying to go to college,

you're going to get a lot of applicants at your university if you offer a Swifty class. Yes. So it's, yeah, everyone's doing it. Everyone's winning. Things are done, it's rare that things are done

just for the sake of being. Yeah, you could take it right in between TikTok and Pinterest. Pinterest. I don't know. Is that a thing? Pinterest? Oh, yeah.

I'm just saying, like, those are the classes now at college. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sure. I swear I got those are the classes now at college. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sure. I swear I got TikTok 101. They're teaching me. I mean, that would be actually a better skill to have than most degrees is just knowing how to quickly learn a dance.

Gary Vee. Okay, let's go to our Tuesday segment, Reddit Dump. Karaoke mode. This is your Reddit dump. I mean, I'm on Reddit every fucking night, and I just wanted to share some things that I've found. Let's see. Oh, I loved this.

This was from True Off My Chest, the subreddit, where people just say things that are off their chest. Someone said, Three years after becoming disabled, it's the best thing that ever happened to me nearly three years to this day as a 19 year old i was at my friend's birthday party when i smoked what i thought was weed it wasn't it was some synthetic plastic shit i blacked out after a head spin then woke up uh woke up a four-hour flight away in a hospital with no idea what's going on turns out i jumped off the fifth story balcony.

Snap my left humerus for vertebrae burst, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like all of this awful things. I'm just trying to make this a little bit shorter. I went from being a 19 year old that didn't think about others to someone that can empathize and understand other people's problems. All I want to do is help. I won't be able to walk again or go to the toilet normally, but in the last three years, I got engaged, got into our wheelchair national tennis academy, and I'm about to start a business that helps young people with disabilities accept themselves.

I'm proud of who I've become, and I wouldn't change anything. That was just so beautiful for someone to have that much perspective already. You think it's a girl? You automatically think it's a girl? I went he. That's so funny. Where did you go? I don't know why I picked he.

It's kind of like when you just think. Is it a she thought she it's unclear or they i guess but uh it's a it's a he oh or it's someone who obviously you know identifies as a man based on their little avatar thing um does it show who his wife is i'm not saying that to be mean i'm just wondering no i'm always amazed by the people that like like marry someone i i mean that their dick might not work you know what i mean yes i don't know i'm just i'm really like i'm always wondering what's going on there honestly you do not need a dick that works i guess to have a good time in bed you can fucking ride their knee first of all but they could hump their knee they could and they have they have ways that disabled people

can have sex there's sex swings there's like there's fun stuff and even if he doesn't have a working dick what do lesbians people always with this yeah how do lesbians get off then i think it's awesome i think i think you know short um short king summer um in this is from old school cool in 1955 author john steinbeck wrote a letter to marilyn monroe asking for an autograph photo for his nephew um he wrote dear marilyn in my whole experience i have never known anyone to ask for an autograph for himself it is always for a child or an ancient aunt which gets very tiresome as you know better than i it is therefore with a certain nausea that i tell you that i have a nephew-in-law who lives in austin texas whose name is john he has his foot in the

door of puberty but that is only one of his problems you are the other i know that you are not made of celestial ether but he doesn't a suggestion that you have normal functions would shock him deeply and i'm not going to be the one to tell him on a recent trip to texas my wife made the fatal error of telling John that I had met you. He doesn't really believe it, but his respect for me has gone up even for lying about it.

Now I get asked for all kinds of silly favors, so I have no hesitation in asking one of you. Would you send him, in my care, a picture of yourself, perhaps in pensive, girlish mood, inscribed to him by name and indicating that you are aware of his existence. He is already your slave. This would make him mine.

If you do this, I will send you a guest key to the ladies' entrance of Fort Knox and furthermore, I will like you very much. Yours sincerely, John Steinbeck. I just liked that. And I read all the comments.

They followed up on this one. His nephew never got the photograph. That's signed. What did you like about it? Oh. i liked how funny it was and how well written obviously by john steinbeck but i liked um you know honestly when this comes to this stuff when it comes to a celebrity doing a favor for someone else or going out of their way to do something all it does is it really just goes it makes me like you a lot like doing these like i liked that part where he says and furthermore it will i will like

you very much it was just so honest and um and i also like just it was just a beautiful it was just cool to read something written by one of the greatest american authors that is more of a casual thing and that was laced with hilarity and him also kind of you know putting his tail between his legs to ask marilyn monroe when he's john steinbeck it was just it has all the things i like no i i enjoyed it i i do think it's interesting like if it wasn't john steinbeck to me it sounds like a horny man using a nephew to get out his shit right doesn't it like if you really like let's do it like he's like, and my boy really loves you. He really is just going through puberty.

He wants a hot, pensive photo with your tits out. Like, he really, like, yeah. And his son has the same, or his nephew has the same name, John. Yeah, little Johnny, like, it's his dick. I don't believe it. I think it was his penis. It's not his nephew. Is John Sandvik nephew was he a homosexual

because to me it sounds like a gay man oh well asking it's that's how much unsexual it seemed to me but i don't know um i was thinking woman but it did make me think of my wilco weekend because i'll get into it my wilco weekend of going on saturday to film carpool karaoke with jeff tweedy uh uh glenn uh coachy and john steerrett um three two band uh you know three band members from wilco and um jeff was driving i was shotgun and if you don't know i'm just like a gigantic wilco fan it they're up there with taylor swift and dave matthews for me and um he is just uh i i told him in the car like you know my first obsession was dave matthews in high school and i got into wilco in college because as a dave matthews fan like i feel like it indicates if you like dave matthews you you have a good taste in music but it's it

doesn't have like the poetic like um it doesn't have the emotional maturity maybe that i was looking for that wilco really brought. And Wilco, it just has meant so much to me. So it was, I got to meet my hero. He was not disappointing at all. He was the greatest. He was so warm and kind. And we had the best day together.

And I brought my parents along too. And they are now friends with Jeff and his wife Susie. After we wrapped, we went, they invited us to their loft where they record everything to just go hang out and John came too John Steer Glenn had to go pick up his son but like they were all just gonna like disperse and leave like we didn't have to still keep hanging out

and they invited us to go to their their loft where they record everything they have hundreds of guitars all their merch all like all of the coolest posters. It was a Wilco museum, and my parents are obsessed with Wilco too. And now my mom is texting with Susie,

Jeff's wife. We are great friends with their family. Jeff even made a joke, he was on vacation with my family. My dad and mom made me so proud. They were so cool and just made me look cool chris was also there and did the same thing of just making me look like they just we just all wanted to be friends was it hard for your dad not to want to like i could see your dad just grabbing an acoustic no he he even got behind glenn's drums because glenn was like

you've got to check out my new drum set it's the one i've always wanted i would love for you to play him and my dad is a good drummer but he even was like i don't i feel ridiculous but my dad would got to like you know talk a little guitar with jeff that's like even just yeah just damning it up jeff invited me to come to this jeff and suzy invited me to come to solid sound it's their festival that they do a music and comedy festival in um in may and i'm going now. And they also said, never worry about tickets the rest of your life. Like, can you believe that I, me and my family have like,

we're friends with like our heroes. It's nuts. And he signed my guitar. And this was one thing that I wanted to like show. I haven't looked at it yet because I didn't want to watch him while he was signing it because it was so awkward.

I hate when, you know, sometimes people look at while I'm writing them something and I'm just like he was signing it because it was so awkward. I hate when, you know, sometimes people look at while I'm writing them something and I'm just like, oh, I'm going to see their face go from like nice to like,

okay, you're taking up too much room. Like, I just write my name, bitch. Did he sign Dave Matthews? Hilarious. Well,

I'm thinking this guitar might be broken because it fell out of the car and I haven't opened it yet. So I'm thinking it might have a fucking crack in it. You haven't looked yet? No, I'm too scared to look. To Nikki. Oh, here it is. That's awesome. Yeah and I haven't opened it yet. So I'm thinking it might have a fucking crack in it. Wait, you still haven't looked yet? No, I'm too scared to look.

To Nikki. Oh, here it is. That's awesome. Yeah, I haven't looked yet. I just put it in the bag because I was like, I can't take it. Oh, that's the one you got in Mexico. Yes. It says, To Nikki, our best friend.

And then John signed it, Glenn signed it, and Jeff signed it. It's funny, he did the bestie kind of thing. Yeah. We should hang that in here. Oh no, I'm going to play that the rest of my life. And he also, I got his book How to Write One Song and he signed this, he signed my other book too but I think

I lost it in the car. He said, to Nikki, such a great day, thank you. And he also signed his biography too and he signed a book, I had him sign all my depression pills and all the bottles because he's a depressed anxious guy too so it's like kind of like a bit but it was just so fun any questions we got a final thought uh you sang with him your feelings on singing with uh your third

i guess favorite artist oh my god it was kind of a bummer because right before we started singing we did this bit where I was like screaming. It was like a really funny bit. Oh, so it hurt your voice a little? I fucking was hoarse the entire day. But it kind of gave you, oh, but when you sang? I couldn't hit any of the notes and like, it's fine. I got away with it. You probably sounded cooler.

But it was, there was a moment where I got to sing my favorite song, She's a Jar, with him and play it. And I even told him like how much it meant to me and he- Is it a funeral song? Yeah, it's a Jar, with him and play it. And I even told him how much it meant to me. Is it a funeral song? Yeah, it's a funeral song. I even talked about that. My friend knows that that's the song that is supposed to be played.

I wrote you. I said, remind him to play it live at your funeral, which implies that you're going to die. Before him. Gladly. He's such a kind person. So wait, so go through the singing. So how nervous were you to sing? There's a ton of, he's such a kind person but so wait so go through the singing so how nervous were you to sing there's a ton of he's driving there's tons of cameras up we're having really good conversations in between songs and i saved she's a jar for like kind of the end because i

was like i don't even want to make him like watch me how obsessed i am with the song because it's also a song that i told him like i only listen to like alone i don't really like share it with other people it's just like my it's like masturbatory in a way like it's just so personal to me yeah and i was even like i don't even know if i want you here for this jeff like even though you say you know like it was that much but then it started and we were just driving around chicago and i really did the best i could in that moment to forget I was on TV to forget about what I was doing later on in terms of like the sketch we had to shoot that I was kind of nervous about whether I had been funny today all these things that are swirling

my head and I was just like just fucking soak this up you are singing your favorite song that means so much to you with the man who wrote it. And I just was in it. And afterwards, one of the producers from the show who's done a bunch of these said to me, you, the she's a jar moment was one of the most insane things I've ever watched. I've never seen someone go get that emotional on the show or like actually have that kind of response. Like for whatever it was that I let go of, like you could tell that something came,

the sheen, the like the me trying to be anything came away. And it was just like, I just wanted to just feel it and just never forget it. Like really wanted to screenshot it in my mind forever. And it is in my mind forever, even though so much of that day was just, it was just the coolest. So you're saying, you know, we'll kind of go through it because like, are you looking

at him? He's singing with you. He would not. He would not look over at me. I think he was just too, you know, he was driving first of all. So he's driving. So he's driving. So it wasn't i i

there were times where i was like do i make eye contact with them should we sing together but i think it was so the artist drives and then he asks you what your favorite songs are no it was like you sing to him or is it no it was kind of like me like running like i was kind of like steering the conversation and kind of um because he was driving and like it's his music and i felt like i was the one that brought him there and had so much to so i kind of set him up to talk about music and stuff and also shared my own stories but we just had a fucking great time and glenn and john were so goddamn nice and like these guys are my friends like they're truly i love them so much and it's just so often you meet people that mean so much to you and they just aren't what you want them to be but he was just such a normal guy and the way

that they were were hospitable to my family afterwards and and i kept being like oh my god they probably just want to wrap this up we were at their studio afterwards for two hours just shooting the shit talking and laughing and they're to watch the reality show. They're so excited about it. When I finally said like, goodbye, we were like giving our hugs. And I, you know, just walked up to Jeff and I was like, yeah, you know, like that we had hugged a bunch at that point, because we wrapped and all these things. And at that point, like, he was just like, I feel like we're, we're friends now. Right. And it was just like, you know, there was a joke of like, oh, we're best friends now and I'm in Wilco and all these kind of things. But it cemented that of like,

our families have combined together and we're just people that are hanging out. What a beautiful thing to bring your family though. And like, I don't know, trust in them in a big moment in your life. That means a lot to them. That isn't just about you performing. It's like a together thing that,

I feel like there's something with your family that i've noticed like you were this star like you your whole thing was about like kind of becoming a star to like show mom and dad that you can do it kind of thing and then i think as we get older we're like oh no like it's a group like it could be a group thing i don't have to be the star. We're all the star, and we're actually more of a star together. And you made me. Yeah. And they did make me look so cool, and they are so funny.

They are cool, too. They're just cool people. They're so cool. I'm so proud of them because there's so many times that your parents can be cringe, and your parents can let you down, but I'm just really just so – I just told them afterwards like you they because they were so thankful and just like i can't believe you involved us i'm like i can't believe that i have parents that i would ever want to involve with my favorite band and like be like

meet my parents and know that that's not going to be a burden to them even though it might sound as soon as you meet my parents it's just like you're relaxed it might seem like oh parents so i gotta like kind of your. Your dad's like putting on, I don't know, like a weighted blanket in front of a fire, like I feel like. That's so nice.

And then you get so hot that you can't take the blanket off and you die. And the blanket's talking about Cincinnati a lot. No, dude, your parents, they put you at ease.

That's like the one thing. They made me who I am of like, if anyone ever thinks I'm cool or nice or friendly or personable or you know that's that's all from them i realized like after this especially was um just how just everything i was in that car before they met my parents and how much like we all got along it was just oh it was just more of that you just saw where it come it just all made i could see kind of them all doing the math of like oh this is where

she gets it from because it was just my parents are so awesome and um and also my boyfriend just so proud to like this is the first time i'm like this is my boyfriend yeah you know and it was just i was so proud to have him because he was so cool and we were all we're all such big wilco fans that it was just it was one of the it was the best day of all of my mom and dad's life for sure outside of like you know kids and and and being born and um i'm just imagining though like conan the the kind of psychopath musician that like he's your dream and you bring your parents and he's still a piece of shit in front of your own family it would be like there are musicians that could still step up there are people i don't want to meet because i care about their art so much that i don't want to be let down but this was i just knew i wouldn't be because i just know i just seem like chicago

people through and through like that midway like i don't know just good people they were they were awesome and now my friends are my parents are friends with the tweeties I mean it's just unreal and it's the greatest gift I can give them is like allowing my parents to have a taste of this kind of like life of meeting these their heroes because my parents are just as cool as those people they just chose a different path in life and oftentimes so many people are that's why like i don't even like to put people who made it on a pedestal because we're so many people could make it if they had the means to make it and i just am one of those people that had the means to make it so like i'm never like oh i can't be friends with people that aren't famous because everyone you all could be famous

people who listen to the show are like some of the greatest most interesting people i'll ever a hundred times more interest thousands of times i'd much rather talk about your life than my life yes like everyone i meet in st louis i'm like no i don't want you don't have a comedy yeah it was fine whatever but like how's it working at boeing like like yes like with these plane crashes recently, like there was a huge crash in China. Really? Like, like I'm just finding out from someone that actually like works at Boeing,

like the inner thing. And I'm like, no, this is what I'm into. This is cool, man. This is like, like good shit.

Like, obviously it's sad, but people think that show people that are become famous or somehow more special. It's just like, no, they just got lucky. And there's tons of people that deserve famous are somehow more special. It's just like, no, they just got lucky.

And there's tons of people that deserve to be in that world and kind of upheld as so cool and better than us. Or whatever. We saw it at the Oscars. These people get away with everything because they're fucking famous. Jeff Tweedy just slaps your dad. Oh, my God. He'd love it. He'd love it.
