The dust has settled on a lot of celebrity stories. And yet, I feel like we have a lot to discuss today. It's true. We're moving forward.

Yeah. We don't have a lot of updates. Brangulina, still quiet. It's going to be 90 degrees in L.A. today. However, I really feel like I'm in deep fall mode. I'm like, I booked my travel for Thanksgiving. And like, I'm just ready for a new season of of celebrity gossip.

Bring it in. So we're going to talk about Michelle Obama last night at the state dinner. Yeah, that's just a happy thing that we all get to talk about. We'll end on that because I like to end with happiness.

We're going to talk about what's going on with Emily Blunt. She just moved and she's in Girl on the Train. Yeah, it's a... Interesting time. We're going to talk about Tony McGuire being back

hanging out with his buddy. Pussy Passeny back! I don't know why I'm yelling that so enthusiastically. Like given the like... Very loaded time for the P-word. Exactly. But, you know, here I am.

am. And first, let's talk about Emma Stone. She's in this week's Vogue 73 questions video. Yeah, she's on the cover of the November issue. Is it a weekly video? No, they do them for the cover stories. Oh, so it's like monthly. I mean, I guess maybe sometimes they've done random ones that aren't connected to the cover, but usually it's like part of the deal. You agree to me on the cover of Vogue and then you do a 73 questions. Got it. That's cool. Emma Stone, I feel like that's a big look for her. Like, I just think she's been dormant for a while and now she's back. Yeah, it seems like she's going to have a big fall. She's in La La Land, which I'm excited about. Everyone's very excited about it.

It has great reviews. It doesn't really seem like an Amanda movie with emphasis on singing and dancing. So here's the thing. I'm very concerned about this because in addition to the basic premise of La La Land is that it's in Los Angeles, Emma Stone is an aspiring actress. Ryan Gosling, this is tough for me to say out loud, like wants to run a jazz club or something. and then they fall in love, but it's also a musical. If Ryan Gosling had a jazz club, would you be interested in going to? Yeah, sure.

I mean, listen, I'm open to all experiences. Are you? No, that's not true at all. It's not true. But okay. But Ryan's Jazz Club, you are open to. I want to say I'm open to all Ryan Gosling-related experiences. He should totally call his fictional jazz club, Ryan's Jazz Club.

It's the least cool name possible. Ryan's Jazz Club. Sounds great. Anyway, they sing and dance. So it's really tough, right? Because it's gozzling and stone back together. They have great chemistry. They do.

Really enjoy them. I enjoy them separately. It's also apparently kind of a love letter to Los Angeles, which I just moved here. You know, I'm still trying to embrace my surroundings. I think that's important. But, yeah, live singing is very hard. I'm really uncomfortable just at the thought of it. And also just, like, dudes trying to pretend they're cool, I mean, like, I love jazz.

No. Unsubscribe. Sure. I remember when I was, like, 16 in New York going to, like, a jazz club in the West Village that didn't check IDs so I could get in and, like, thinking I was the coolest person in the city. I was like, wow, I'm doing it. I'm at, like, a literally subterranean underground jazz club in the West Village,

and I'm just killing it. I want to be clear that I have nothing against the actual genre or the history of jazz. Yeah, I love it. It's just the way that a certain group of, like, hipster dudes attach themselves to it. Sure. In a vacuum. It's wonderful genre. Anyway, um, Laland is apparently great.

I'm excited about it. I'm excited to see it. Love, love singing and dancing. Right. So I can't wait. I'm really excited. Um, you could ask my roommate, Chris Ryan, my off, my work roommate, at least once a day, I watch like some kind of singing and dancing.

YouTube video. What was yesterday's? I watched the performance of Ultra Lightbeam on Saturday Night Live from last year. Oh, I think I walked into your office. Four times. Yeah, you've had that on loop for like a week. I just, it's really good. There's so much happiness in it. I don't know. No, you were watching Chance when I walked in. Yeah. The Chance on SNL yesterday. It was really, it's really good. So I just, I just like, you know, Chance is a theater kid. I like the Sunday Candy video too. Yeah. Well, so let's, okay. Theater Kid is a great segue back to Emma Stone. The 73 questions, because this was peak theater kid in a way that I was not super comfortable with.

As a person who loves Emma Stone and who likes people being Woody and who likes people trying, this was like really trying. I'm a new theory with the 73 questions videos, which I think it makes uncool, vapid people seem like fun and it makes the actual cool substantive people seem really lame. Yes, that's a great theory. that's what happened with Emma Stone. Because I agree. I really like her. I actually like her paparazzi stick where she like holds up the signs when they're taking pictures of her and Andrew Garfield, like for like causes she supports. I like that. I like all of her movies. Easy A. It's

phenomenal. Underrated movie. Fantastic. And I just like she came off really bad in this video. Like very annoying. And like you said, like it's just you mentioned this on our slap. Like so staged. Yeah. Well, here's the other thing. It's very clearly scripted. And they all are. Right. Because it's celebrities who are on the cover. of vogue. Right. And there's, it must take honestly months for them to even negotiate the questions that are involved with 73 asks. Like, you can't imagine how horrific the emails are. Like, I want to die sitting here thinking about it. Awful. So I understand why it's scripted. And the, the problem is, is that Emiston is, like, naturally very funny and smart and wants to try. And so I got the impression

on this one. If you had been reading her answers, like, if you had read the email that she wrote being like this is how I answer all the questions super charming. It really works in a written context. Yeah. And then she has to like perform her kind of written jokes. And it's unnatural and looks really forced. There are different types of humor. There's written humor and there's, you know, in-person humor.

And it was kind of lost in the translation, which I think, I think she's a victim of being smart and trying too hard. Totally. Yeah. I agree with you. And also like the things that she's willing to share, I think are kind of limited because she's smart. Like she doesn't actually want you to see like,

her real home where she actually lives. Yeah, where was she? Let's talk about her house. So it was a place that you had, her supposed house, it was a place you had to like buzz into. She had basically no yard or like any private space at all, which is fine. But like if you're like a rich celebrity, like privacy comes at a premium and like you usually want that.

Right. She was like on top of like supposed neighbors. It was a shared courtyard situation for short. Could you tell anything about the neighborhood based on Los Angeles knowledge? Yeah. I think it's probably somewhere in the valley. It would be my guess. Oh, interesting.

Because that's where they have a lot of, like, gated communities that celebrities live in. Like, there's some, like, where Justin Bieber lives, like, a lot bigger and fancier than that. But I'm pretty sure that was probably somewhere on the other side of the hill. Yeah. So shared courtyard entirely unlikely. Because so unlikely. And then there's not a yard. There's, like, like, an elevated deck that was, like, very massive and look shared.

Did it look shared? I thought it was just all for her and sort of inelegantly laid out. I don't know. It was really weird. You had to go through the second bedroom to get through it, which, like, I thought was a problem. Yeah. It also just seemed like her furniture was, there was nothing that she had made custom that I could tell.

It all seemed like high end, but like kind of like, you know, made to order, not made to order. It was very like West Elm. Yeah. And there was no art or personal. Yeah, it seemed like she barely lived there. Right. She definitely didn't live there. And she also referenced the apartment that she actually lives in, which is in New York.

Like, which is hilarious. It does say in the Vogue cover story that she is moving. in the process of moving back to New York as they're doing the interview. So it's possible that... Maybe she's leaving that place? I still don't think it was her place. Me neither. Here's another reason why.

Okay. Because no person who actually lives in an apartment that has more than one closet would put the washer dryer in the closet closest to your bedroom. It is really weird. That makes no sense. How are you going to sleep? That was really strange. Yeah.

Although maybe she's just supremely lazy, which I would support. I hate doing laundry. And she's like making it, how can I stay in bed the longest while getting my laundry? done. Yeah, listen, I'm not a movie star and our washer dryer, which I'm very excited to have, is literally right next to our bedroom. And it's terrifying when the buzzer goes off for the dryer. And I'm just like, oh, my God, what happened? No. Put that downstairs, a different level if you've got to. Anyway, it's a great, it's a great point. The washer dryer, it's a dream for me. I've never had one in unit. It's been, LA is the first time. I mean, it just seems wonderful. It is

It is life-changing, except, like, I know I'm not very good about folding my laundry at all. Not particularly fun. What else did you learn from the Emma Stone cover story? Is she still dating Andrew Garfield? No. She claims according to the cover story, she, A, really doesn't want to talk about it, but, like, she does the right celebrity thing because Emma Stone is a celebrity who tries, and she has, like, a two-sentence kind of jokey answer prepared to be like, we're not together. I learned a lot. It was a tough year.

There are good parts and bad parts of being single. I guess it was four sentences, but hers was more elegant. Interesting. But as the cover story notes, it was written by Jason Gay, who's been doing a lot of folk stories, actually. They're pretty good. After she delivers this line, she's then, like, photographed hanging out with Andrew Garfield in London.

Oh, interesting. So either they're just, like, doing the friends thing or, no. That's so unlikely. It's very, very unlikely. Andrew Garfield's a wonderful Brit. like just a great one. A Jewish Brit, first of all. Second of all, he's like half American, half British, and he can go either way with his accent. And it's just like he can be anything you want him to be. I just love him. Here's what I'd like him to be. Like, never let me go, Andrew

Garfield. And that's it. I have really... One of the Eduardo Savarin are Andrew Garfield. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was pretty great. The Marlins and the fish. Yeah, a great scene. No. Mark. Here's my, here's my thing. He definitely, he went through a lot. know it's hard being a movie star. He was Spider-Man. That didn't go so well. Then he's, like, trying to find himself as an actor. And so now he's in this Martin Scorsese movie called Silence. And he, like, supposed to be good, right? Whatever. He also, like, took a vow of silence in order. He went method on the Scorsese Monk movie. Like, can you imagine being Emma Stone? And suddenly your weird boyfriend is working through his industry issues? If my boyfriend was like, I'm going silent.

I'm like, okay, then I'm just going. Bye. Which I honestly think what happened is what happened. Can you imagine? No. I actually can't. That would be awful. He is also a public library frequenter, which I really appreciate. It's very lovely.

He's working through a lot. I really, I just really like him. I want the best for him, but I don't think it's going to go well. I just think like we're reaching the end of our Andrew Garfield stardom time. Yeah. It's really hard to come back from being like a failed superhero. I know. Only Ryan Reynolds did it, and that's because he played another superhero.

Right. Is there any other use cases? Honestly, I can't do this off the top of my head. I don't pay attention to super you. It just makes me think about the Hemsworth, who I really like and I'm concerned about. Clooney? Some would say he never really, I guess the Batman. He recovered from Batman.

Good point. Yeah. That's true. I just feel like right now he's being besmirched a lot. Heaton? Sort of recently? Sure. I guess if you play Batman?

Okay. Only Batman can you recover. And that's because that was like before peak superhero, right? Right. Now it's a lot harder because it's like, it's like, If you fail at your superhero movie, you can't blame it on, like, it being a dumb movie because they're all, like, made by autores now. Yeah. No, that's true.

Andrew Garfield needs to be incorporated into the Star Wars franchise. That's what he needs, I think. Oh, like, Riloh Ken's brother? Yeah, something like that. Yeah. There's so many fucking movies. Like, how can we have this happen? I think there's got to be a role for him somewhere.

Anyway, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield seem to be involved in, like, a four-year, extremely drawn-out, dramatic breakup. which I just, that makes me sad. Sure. Makes her so relatable, I think. It makes her relatable, but it also just makes me want to go have a drink with Emma Stone and be like, move on. This is not going to end well. Stop going to London. I know it's nice there, but just stop going to see him.

Move into your new apartment, it'll all be good. Yeah. I'm kind of happy she's coming back. I really enjoy her. Oh, one of the thing I wanted to note is that this was a Vogue production, and I simply don't think she could have been wearing a worse outfit. I could, the heels in particular were mind-boggling, but then there's like weird fringe on her sweater? She was wearing one of those sweaters that is like cut a little short, but then there's like, um, extra fabric, like a fix to it, so it looks longer, but it has the effect of just like making her look much wider than she is.

And then she was wearing like, quote-unquote boyfriend jeans that were just like not baggy enough, nor were they fitted enough. And then she was wearing like just like these very kind of like retroish heels. It was a mess. It was just a complete mess. I hated it. I didn't understand it at all. Me neither. Also, I wish you would just go back to being a redhead straight up.

I liked the haircut, though. It was a little bit too Chicago for me. Yeah, that's fair. Renéez-Alwager in Chicago. Yeah, that's a good point. That's her destiny is to be in a Chicago remake. The third remake. You won't see it.

I'll let you know how it is. Another thing that I think Emerson should do with Ryan Gosling is like it's just, it's out there for them. Ever since they're seen in crazy stupid love, just do a dirty dancing remake. Why not? Ryan Gossack would be great to the Patrick Swayze role. It's hard to argue with that. I mean, I don't know why the movie actually hasn't been remade. It's really good.

I guess because they don't make movies for women. That's a great point. But it's a really good movie. Just make it for Netflix. Everyone would watch it. Agree. I co-signed this. Do you like that movie?

Derry Dancing? Yeah, of course. I'm an American. Sometimes you ask me these things. I know, but like, come on. Sometimes you ask me these things, and it's like you think I'm not human inside. I have a hard line on the performing arts. So I don't know.

It's just live singing. It's so vulnerable. And I just, I don't, I have enough anxiety on my own. I don't need to witness other people, like, work through things, and maybe it's not going to work out. And then, like, we're all embarrassed together and I'm a witness. And now I'm carrying that anxiety for the rest of my life. I don't need that. Okay.

Only let Adele sing. Oh, she's perfect all the time. Yeah. Lastery dancing note, then we can move on. It would be a really good remake because it's not really susceptible to technology. Okay. When you go on vacation and you're like in like a camp like atmosphere, it's sort of like cell phones and computers are secondary to just like being there because it's very limited and you're with a large group of people and you're

focused on them. And it's just like it's just less susceptible to the changes of time. That's that's a great point. Thank you. I was doing Ryan Gosling. I really want you to do this. I will like fund your go fund me or whatever you need. I'm here for you. Thank you. Let's move on. Speaking of people moving to New York, let's talk about Emily Blunt, who also just moved to. to New York. And also about movies that are sort of targeted at women, though, I don't know. Yeah. Let's talk about it. So she was a girl on a train. Yes. How was it? Girl on the train is one of the worst movies I've seen this year. And I, I am someone who really enjoyed Bridget Jones baby and was like, this is great. So it's not like I'm sitting here being an,

you know, an artist. I was just discussing Bridget Jones's baby this morning. Yes. It really came and went too fast. Yeah. Again, I don't know. Maybe like we need to start like, sign up petitions to get people to go to the movies and theaters. Can you register to vote? Can you also go see Bridget Jones? I'll go door to door. A fair number of people actually saw a girl on the train on the opening weekend because the book Girl on the Train was a bestseller for a very long time. Very fast turnaround from book to movie.

Yeah, too fast for sure. That's definitely part of the problem. This script was unintelligible. Who wrote it? Did Paul Hawkins writing? No. I don't remember who adapted it and I don't. you know, it's hard. I don't want to make fun of them. But it did not work. And I think part of that

is that it's a pretty hard book to adapt. I enjoyed the book. I think I was in the minority on that. A lot of people bought it and read it. Sure. I didn't read it. Yeah, I don't know that it kind of had great reviews once it was consumed. It was certainly very popular. It was. I went to see the movie and realized that I only remembered about 20% of it. So that's one thing. So it didn't leave a mark. No, it didn't. The only thing that I thought was interesting about the book was that the main character, and spoilers here. Spoilers abound. Go for it. Spoilers bound. The main character is an alcoholic. And it's written, a lot of it is written from her perspective, but it is also, there are multiple perspectives in the book. So you don't really see a lot of fiction about

female alcoholics. No, you don't. Very few. There's the movie 28. days of Sandra Bullock. Exactly. But, I mean, it was just interesting. Yeah. And I thought it handled parts of that better than basically anything else in the book. So that was interesting. I was like, huh.

I could see how that's hard to translate to a movie. I mean, well, what it translates is to Emily Blunt, God bless her, just like stumbling and weaving around a weird neighborhood in Scarsdale for like two hours. I can't, I mean, the number of scenes where she just had to like stumble and weave around, It's, she's, she's a great actress. It was a very convincing stumble and we've, but like, how many times do you need to see it? My lord. That's sad. It makes me sad. I think everyone is rooting for Emily Blunt. We all want the best for her. Yeah. Sam Donsky of the Ringer wrote a piece. Theringer.com? Yes. Have you heard of it? Yeah. Cool. About this effect of just kind of like how

Emily Blunt, we love you. Please get up. Yeah. And all the ways and that she deserves better than this, which I think is really true. Okay. Well, she's got more common and she'll be fine, I think. Yeah, she's going to be Mary Poppins. Where are you on Mary Poppins part two? So fucking excited. Okay, but again, listen, I love Mary Poppins,

even though it involves singing and dancing. I got to me before I developed, like, real anxiety. So, you know, I could enjoy it just on its merits. With Lynn Manuel Miranda as her Dick Van Dyke. Yeah, that's great. It's really hard to follow in Julian Andrews' shoes in an iconic role. Really impossible. Yeah.

So I just like, again, I'm excited that they're making another Mary Poppins. You know, I feel joy. I would like one day to experience, like, joy with my children, too. I get it. I don't have children, but I'm just planning ahead. But it seems like she's being set up to fail again. That's what I'm concerned about. I think she's going to be okay.

Linwell Miranda has got the touch at the Midas touch. He's so incredibly charming. and everyone near him also looks good. I think it's going to be fine. I think it's going to be good. Also, I just think that he's, like, inventive and creative enough that he will give her a lot of material to work with. How in charge is he of this?

I think he's writing some songs for it, I believe. Okay, but he's not, like, writing, you know, doing the whole thing. I'm not worried. I feel good about it. It's just, like, also a great conceit. A woman with a bottomless bag who's a nanny and, like, comes and goes, and is mysterious. Yo, I think about that bag all the time. Yeah, it's the best bag.

It's so good. It's so, it's like beautiful upholstery. I love it. It's great. I think it's going to go well. Also, like, let's, I hope they film it on a stage. Like, please don't make it too realistic. The house from the original.

I love that facade, you know. I'm just excited. I think it's great. My only concern is that one, it's just setting up two people that I like a lot up to fail just because of expectations and the original movie. The second is also, like, Emily Blunt is a fantastic actress, and she's a great action star, and she's a true bitch, as we learn from the Devil Wars Prada. And she has, like, a lot of range.

And I don't know that I want her to be shoved into, like, just Julie Andrews light. Like, family fair? Yeah, I want more for her. Yeah. I don't want her to get garnered, you know? Totally. That's a good point. I feel like she, there's no one else really like her, though.

So I think that she'll be okay. Like, I feel like she'll get some good roles just based on the fact that there's no one else who can really do it. But she does, except for maybe Amy Adams who kind of, like, stole her role in the arrival. Yeah, sort of a bit. Like, Emily Blan has more energy. Sure. She could be an action movie star. Right.

Yeah. I hope she has more of that stuff, too. I think also she has two kids now, right? Yes, she just had her second child. I'm sure that changes her level of interest in doing, like, action movies, too. Yeah, absolutely. Well, they said during a girl on the train that she didn't do her own stunts, by which I mean, I think she means, like, the more aggressive, stumbling around while drunk and falling down.

That's like the only stunts I saw. She didn't do her own stunts, which she normally does. And then her friend, Justin Thoreau, who was also in the movie, was like, what's going on with you? Why aren't you doing your stunts? Are you pregnant? Oh, man. Surprise.

What a dick move. Yeah, well. Justin Thoreau and Emily Blunt, I believe, are in the same, like, social circle they were when they were in L.A., I believe. I believe that they were photographed that Emily Blunt and her husband, John Crosinski, were photographed having dinner at Jennifer. for Anniston and Justin Throes House in New York, because now everyone lives in New York. Yeah, so they moved to Park Slope.

They did. Grand Army Plaza area. We were just looking at their listing on Variety. On Variety's real estate listings. One of our favorite reads. Absolutely. So they bought $6 million, $7 million brownstone, four bedrooms, five bedrooms, three baths. Yeah.

Sounds like a steal to me. Sounds like really appropriate pricing. All right. Let's just, for everyone listening at home, New York real estate is out of control. Absurd. Yeah. Completely absurd. It seems like they paid market price, yeah, or maybe even a little below market price.

Yeah, their real estate news has just been popping all summer because Kendall Jenner moved into their old house. Right. Which was like a plot point on Jimmy Kimmel Live so far as they have plot points there. And now, like, you know, now they've relocated. In the variety article, it noted that they sold all three of their California properties. The Blood Crusets Keys are out on California. I hope they netted a profit here. I'm just concerned that they had to sell all three to get this Brooklyn Brownstone,

but that can't be. I'll be honest. I don't own property, so I don't really know how the things work. I just don't think that's possible that they didn't make money off of it somehow, but I'm just really concerned. To sell three houses and then to walk away with one,

doesn't take a math genius to know that's a problem. It is a nice house, though. Yeah, it does look really nice. And one of the houses was a condo. Anyway, listen, it seems like a nice house. I'm happy for them. Emily Blunt and Brooklyn kind of makes me homesick.

But, you know. Who would you rather have as your neighbor? Emily Blunt and John Cresensky or Michelle Williams and John Cresensky or Michelle Williams and Jonathan Saffron For. Keeping in mind that Michelle Williams finally made a home in which Jonathan Zaffron 4 could write. Wait, can we go back to that for a second? Sure. Because we did a huge segment on that.

And then it proved to not be true? No, that's, it was true. The acknowledgments were in the copies of the book that were sent out to press for review, and they were removed for the actual real book that was published. That's actually crazy. I wonder, that's crazy. So, I mean, and. And Natalie Portman canceled on her event with Jonathan's Averend 4. And there was no like cancellation notice.

They just kind of like came and went that she was no longer going to be a part of it. Yeah. So there is someone in Jonathan's afterfoil's life who at some point sat him down and was like, get your shit together. Maybe it was his ex-wife. Yeah, maybe. I would be pissed. That's pretty wild.

But please answer my question. Oh, definitely. Emily Vlad and Jack Prisinski. There was a very charming bid in a GQ did a cover story of Matt Damon a few months ago that was mostly like an oral history talking to all the people in Matt Damon's life. And I think it was Emily Blund. It might have been John Krasinski that just all they talked about was their double dates and like the type of wine that they drink. And apparently like John Krasinski had developed an allergy to red wine. So he had to switch to white and it kind of upset their whole chemistry and everyone's

like very upset. So yeah, I want to hang out with them. I drink white wine though, so I will hang out with John Kroof. So you're good to go with that. You can just bring wine over. Exactly. Oh, that's so lovely. Yeah. They seem like a pretty good couple. Okay, well, we're wishing the best for Emily Blunt. I believe. I think everyone at the ring or maybe the world is wishing the best for Emily Blunt. Yeah, I think that she's a pretty universally liked. Let's just, I wish Hollywood could figure it out for her. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it, Hollywood. I challenge you, Hollywood. Let's talk with our sponsors for a second. Today's episode is brought to you by Uniclo.

Well if everyone ends up happier then it's okay That's true As long as you know It's... Who knows? It's the circle of life. Sure. Thanks, Lion King.

That said, yeah. Literally, the divorce happened yesterday. The separation was announced yesterday, I believe. Maybe Monday. And the post already has reports of Toby and Leo hitting the clubs together, which is... To quote page six. Yes, please do. Nearly single, Toby McGuire has been hitting the clubs with Leo.

Sources tell page six that McGuire's already been taking a page from the book of his long-time best friend, the 41-year-old club crawler, Leonardo. DeCaprio. Does that mean that he also wears nose cancelling headphones while having sex? Literally, what other page could he take? One more quote. One Hollywood Nightlife Habituay told us that over the summer, Toby

was out in L.A. at all these hot spots. It looked like he was following in Supermodel Mavens, that's added by page 6 in brackets, Leo's footsteps. Toby hasn't been known to date the types of girls in the past, but he has been all over L.A. lately, and it looks like Leo's rubbed off on him. Here was my first thought

when I read this, which Just like, how sad do you think Jonah Hill is right now? Like, he's, like, his, he had a spot, now he's lost it again. Jonah is out. Yeah, definitely. Definitely out. If you're meeting Leo for lunch on the street, you're not nearly as cool as you should be. That's really tough for him.

I mean, Jonah Hill was just feeling a vacancy, and now there's no vacancy, and I'm sure that's sad for him. What's, do you want to hang out Toby McGuire, though? He doesn't seem that fun to me. No. Maybe other people enjoy him more than I do, but I would rather hang out Jonah Hill, I think. Jonah Hill seems like he's likely to like divulge some kind of secret to you. And Toby McGuire seems way too guarded.

I guess so. Jonah Hill has essentially no sense of humor. Did you follow this thing when he was promoting war dogs in France? Yeah. And he was doing some sort of interview with a French. I suppose that she was in charge of the weather because at some point he gets really mad. And it's just like, I didn't come on TV to get made fun of by a weather girl, which is, I don't know. Yeah, that's not the best look.

It's not the best way to handle the situation. I just think that me and Jonah Hill could get really intense, really fast, and I could see it's doing like a really great, like, weird, hour-long conversation that I have with him at a party when, like, the whole crowd has, like, moved over, like, left into a different corner of the room while we're just, like, fighting about something. I could, I just could see it. About really obscure rappers because those are the only seven people that he follows on Twitter. Yeah.

We wrote a whole article about this, but if you have not, like, please just go to Jonah Hill's Twitter. click on the following tab and behold the seven people that Jonah Hill follows on Twitter. It will make your day. One of the guys from LP from, what's that group called? Ron the Jewels. Okay. Has a bagel shop, a few of them now in Brooklyn, right? I'm sure Jonah Hill only gets some bagels there.

It's probably his favorite place. He's also really into Faro Monch. Yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry, Jonah Hill, R.P., your time in the pussy posse. Here's the thing. Okay. Hit me. Leo and Toby are both over 40.

Yes, they are. Toby is 41 as per this article. It's funny to yell pussy passy back, just if only so we can reclaim the word pussy, if you can reclaim it, which I don't know if you can. Like, I don't want to turn this into feminist symbiotics or whatever. It's also never really been a favorite word of mine. Yeah, fair enough. In any context.

That said, like, it's fun. That was a fun time in the 90s. These guys are all this shit. I know. And their faces are just getting wider every day. And I'm just like, do you really need to be out in the clubs chasing 23-year-old models? At what point do they tip from cool to lame? I think they're there already.

But I think, like, L.A. allows you to feel cool for longer because of the club scene. The L.A. club scene is really gnarly. It's not really a good one at all. I hope to never find out. I'm embarrassed to have any insight into the topic. I would completely agree with you, and I think I feel that way until I see a paparazzi photo of, like, Leo doing a jetpack or just... He's not giving a fuck. Leo biking or just...

His canvas sneakers that he wore, or not even sneaker's shoes that he wore for four consecutive months? He might be one of our greatest paparazzi subjects. Yeah, he might be the greatest. I can't think anyone better. He just has, like, a Joada Vive that, like, really, they managed to capture. It's a really symbiotic, beautiful relationship. I know. It's pretty amazing.

And he's just been like on one since he won an Oscar. He literally hasn't done any work. No. He's just been hanging out. No, but now he's making a Captain Planet movie, which is a huge mistake. Right. And he also has like a environmental film coming out at the end of the month. Right.

He also has like some kind of embarrassing ties to, I think, Malaysia that prevented him from hosting a Hillary Clinton luncheon. Yes, that was tough. I think it was about the Wolf of Wall Street financing. It got a little dicey. Yeah, exactly. I'm happy for him, though. I'm, like, more happy for Leo than I am for Toby, obviously.

I don't really like Toby McGuire. I mean, I have no idea why, but, like, he's just not for me. It's nice to have your friends back, you know? I support loyalty. Sure. I hope that they can kind of evolve together. Totally. Pass the club scene.

Yeah, I think they'll all be fine. If they go double jetpacking, then I'm great. They're the coolest forever. Should Toby McGuire play old Spider-Man? No, no. No. Why is this suddenly a Spider-Man podcast? I don't know.

We're the least two qualified people to talk about. Spider-Man are present. I actually liked Toadmooire Spider-Man movies, one and two. I like Carson Duns. I like it when they kissed and it was upside down. I liked it when the O.C. did it? Totally. Yeah, sure.

That was funny. Season two. Great stuff. Yeah. Okay. Final topic of the day. The one and only. The Queen of Our Hearts, the Best Woman in America, maybe of all time, in all the world,

Michelle Obama. Yo, did you see her Versacee dress last night? It was flames. It was rose gold chain mail. My lord. It was beautiful. Will you call that rose gold or is it more pink? I think it's like a rose gold.

A description I read did say Rose gold. Okay, good. So I support you on that. Great. That's what I thought it looks like. She looked incredible. Incredible. It was their last day dinner and she was just clearly like, I'm pulling out the

fucking stops. It was for the Italian head of state. So she went with Versace. I love it. It's beautiful. I think that I also really love is just like how happy Barack Obama looks at every single one of those state dinners when she comes out of the thing. And he always does like a, you know, pointing and, like, wink and nod and look at her.

It's really aspirational. He really has the baddest bitch in the game wearing his chain. Yeah. Nailed it. It's really great. They are an inspiration. I'm going to miss the fuck out of them. I know.

Her clothes have been so great. Like, one of my favorite thing she is ever worn was the blue cap sleeve dress that she wore at the convention when she gave her speech this past summer. I loved it. It was fairly straightforward, but, like, it just looked so flattering and elegant. And it was just like the basics. are just, like, look great on her, but she also can go so high. It was amazing. It is true. Michelle Obama has done many things in her life, and I don't want to reduce it to fashion. She's advocated for a lot of people, but she has sort of reinvented what a professional woman looks like, which is very interesting.

Totally. It's amazing. I love it. As two women who like to wear dresses, it's true. It's exciting. It's true. We wear dresses to work because of Michelle Obama. Totally. She's also in the cover of T-Magin and looks stunning. Yeah, those pictures are really amazing. I haven't read all the pieces because I want to read them on the hard copy when it comes on Sunday. That seems like, that seems great. I'm like really looking forward to it. They're doing a last press tour for sure. And they earned it. And I'm really enjoying it.

Me too. I'm going to miss them so much. And also she, it's amazing that like this, of this really ugly election season, the, I think the lasting slogan will be Michelle's when they go low, we go high. And like, like, that is pretty impressive that like to, I think that will be like one of the, um, most quoted thanks to the Obama presidency. And the other most important speech of the election is the speech she gave recently. Yeah.

Just absolutely demolishing Trump and all of the... Yeah, it was amazing. Hollywood. Yeah. She's special. Michelle Obama, we love you. We will miss you. We don't have to say goodbye yet.

We got a couple more months. And then hopefully she'll keep continuing to serve. We got three more months with her. We're going to save for them. In public, in some way. I would vote for her. That's all I'm saying. That's another go fund me campaign

that I'm willing to contribute to. That's two. Wow. GoFundee. We're coming for you. Thanks for listening, everyone. We'll be back next week.
