I don't even know why you sided with one of my, no that was crazy. Now there's a right answer. To like one of them is nuts. Oh yeah, that is weird. Now, I mean, my God. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on Earth.

I say that for all my guests, but I mean once again today, it's Justin Martindale. So glad we're making this happen. Probably the greatest lettuce in the game. The kid's got hair. It's beautiful. Still. And it's gotten a little bit of foxiness to it now. You noticed.

A little silver foxiness to it too. That's great. It's a blonde ash, if you will. That's so pretty, dude. Yeah. Can you, let me see, yeah, it looks so nice. I wanted something that kind of like complimented the fires. So I was like a good white ash.

You didn't get affected, right? I mean, no. No displacement for you? No, we left. I mean, we went to this beautiful refugee center called Palm Springs, which was a trip and a half. We just left, because my mom, you know I grew up in Texas and my mom is like one of those like southern moms

and she pulled the ultimate UNO mom card on me. What was this? If you love me, you'll leave. And I said, well, all right, let's pack the bags up. I don't love you. I'm gonna stay right here right, let's pack the bags up. I'm gonna stay right here, I don't love you that much. There is no right answer, yeah. And so we packed it up, packed the dog,

and went to Palm Springs, and like 20 minutes before we got there, they were like, Runyon Canyon's on fire. And I was like, oh, well, all right. But in my head, I was kinda like, finally. Cause Runyon Canyon, get outta here. Oh, it's the worst canyon. It is the worst of the canyons.

Of all the clientele that go there, it bums me out the most. Just smells like piss. It's dog piss. 40,000 pit bulls off leash. Just Instagram models. I don't wanna hear your fucking Bad Bunny beat pill track. I wanna hear nature. I don't want to hear your fucking bad bunny beat pill track. I want to hear I want to hear nature

Yeah, I don't need to hear Like what is this? It sounds like you're in an uber. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, chili Puerto Rican. I don't need it Give him a blanket. It is the worst of all. Yeah, it's the worst of the canyon. So finally I was like It's time. Yeah, we gotta go. And then of course I get the next door notifications, which just, the best. It's kind of like my adult porn now, I just said next door app.

They're like, can we return to Runyon? I'm like, who cares? Just go. Just go, suck in the ash, who cares? Yes, suck it in. We got a little bit of rain, you're gonna be fine. Oh dude, that rain. Felt good, huh? I mean, look at us, just got a little bit of rain, you're gonna be fine. Oh dude, that rain. Felt good, huh?

I mean, look at us, just two gentlemen talking about the rain. It was a good rain. I made chili yesterday. You did? From scratch. You made chili? I made chili! Wow.

Watched some movies, just did laundry all day. Oh, it was stellar. How masculine of you. Yeah, yeah. Your mom's from Texas. Mm-hmm. I had a... My mom's from Tennessee. ah, stellar. How masculine of you. Yeah, yeah. Your mom's from Texas. I had a friend. Well, my mom's from Tennessee. Oh, okay.

Mississippi, Tennessee. I had a friend. We have a guy that we know. Who, me and you? Yeah, you and I know. And he was from the South. This story might drum up the memory for you. Okay.

And when I first met him, he had told me this story when we had a couple drinks that his mom, Southern Belle, sent him away to pray away the gay camp. Do you remember who this is? I'm not gonna say the name. I'll tell you after if you don't remember. I mean, I know several.

Oh, well this one lived in my building. Do you not remember this guy? And we'll move on. No, no, no, this is fun. But he did a, well we're not gonna say his name. On this episode of Guess the Gay. We're gonna pray away the gay, but first guess who it is. She's, I remember him telling me this vivid story about being sent away to pray away the gay camp and how like his mom and dad were really adamant about it. And he was like, of course the biggest

joke of all was that you get to this camp, and it's all other repressed gay kids. So he's like, it's just a hookup factory in the woods. And then the counselors, also gay. Like the gayest of them all. And also a little older for the old kids there. It's insane. Yeah, I mean, it's like, it's a good like, find your way in the forest kind of a situation.

You met, you knew multiple people that went to this thing? I thought it was like, this sounds mythic. It doesn't sound even real. No, it's like, it was like a big deal. They made a movie out of it. I mean, several movies. But you knew kids when you grew up that got sent away. Not me, no, no, no, not me personally.

Just when you got older, when you met people that old. Yeah, yeah. Because I remember hearing about it and being like, I can't, I just don't, it sounds, it sounds like how, look, it sounds like what happens to, what was her name about the Scientology doc, you're going clear. You know, where you're like, I know it's real,

but like, where is all this happening? Oh, dude. It's real. My fiance and I, we moved in to our building last July, and I remember we went and saw the place, and it was just bare bones. It was just like couch books on the floor, and we were like, well the lighting's great.

And we were like, did they move out? Yeah, and they were like, no, no, no, no, they're moving, it's two girls, and they live here right now. And they're going to move out when we rent the place. And I was like, this is squalor. What is this? Very sad. Scientologists.

We get Scientology mail. Whoa. It's everything. You're going to join? Yes. Yeah, why not? But we got the Scientology Christmas card. It's a trip.

I don't even, like, it's just the weirdest thing. We went, I took a family friend of ours looking for an apartment in West Hollywood. She wanted our help and she was like, I don't know where to go. And I kind of, you know, and I was like, I'll come along for the ride so you're not like duped into some dumb shit

or a building that I'm like, don't live over here. So we're taking her around and One of the buildings the guy for the guy like lied which apartment it was and then we find out He's the building manager, and then we get in the apartment And I'm like this is his apartment like this is literally his apartment and the bed was on the floor no Yeah, dude. It was so it was like Blumhouse movie Dude it was so creepy, and was like a Blumhouse movie. It was. God. Dude, it was so creepy, and it was like,

bed on the floor, like a lot, too many candles, and then like, all designer clothes on the floor. Nothing was in the closet, nothing was put away. Like it was like a crash pad for a weirdo rich kid. Yeah, it was creepy as fuck. And then within seconds, he's like, what else do you wanna see? I was like, nothing, we're leaving. I'm not gonna gonna fuck it. You're gonna kill this is where you murder people

Yeah, clearly I'm not gonna murder den have a family friend of ours. Who's like new to LA. She's like, what did you think? I was like, I think you could never ever be no don't go don't go don't walk past that building ever again Yeah, no, thanks Chet Hanks What did you become a landlord it It was so creepy, man. But West Hollywood, I remember looking for apartments all over West Hollywood for the years that I was there. It has the oddest collection of, of like janky, shady, really creepy fucked up shit.

Like I ran into that more than anywhere else in the city, West Hollywood, where I was like, what went on here? Oh yeah, history. What did this used to be, dude? Like there was a house on, there was an apartment on Fountain, no, I'm sorry, on Hollywood, right before you get to Runyon, I don't know if that's Kersen or whatever,

it's right there, but I remember walking, I'd walk that way sometimes at night, and they had huge floodlight, like shooting lights, painted in, and I was like, oh, they gotta be filming something, and I would tell I was like, oh, they gotta be filming something. And I would tell myself this story. Oh, they're shooting porn on there or something like that. You know what I mean?

Or it's like a fuckhouse. And then one night I peaked over the brick. And sure enough, people were in there fucking partying. Couple people, loose, half on, half off clothing. And I was like, oh shit, it is a fuckhouse. I was like, it really is? In my mind, I thought, it's definitely not, but I was like, it really is. In my mind I thought, it's definitely not, but I'd like to think it is.

No, it was, 100%. I have two friends of mine who have a place over in, I think it's around West Hollywood, maybe kind of by where Toy is on Sunset, and they had this building on their block that was this giant old style Victorian blue building, and they were like're like oh yeah back in the day this was like a gay brothel and I was like whoa a gay brothel? How many days ago was this? This was about a week ago. Okay. The fires took up. Yeah. No but it burned down it was like it burned down

like last year or something and they were trying to sell it and then weirdly enough it burned down. All the furniture was still stuck to the floor they're like how is everything so secure in this room? Just designer clothes all over the floor. A gay brothel. Gay brothel. Are there gay brothels now still in West L.A.?

Probably. Everything terrifies me these days. Don't lie to me, you're my key to everything, you know. What do you wanna know? Back in the day when we used to go after the store, we had a couple of nights where you took me to, one night we did an Abbey run the other night. We did a What's the one next to like the manhole?

Not the manhole. What's it? What is it called satin? That's it. I just want to keep you guessing I want you to like try and figure it out not a prolapse was it called prolapse prolapse. Yes prolapse Fridays Yeah, it's really good. It's a two-for-one pink socks. Yeah, no, it's uh Yes, right a second get let no it was uh, I Can't remember the name of it, but I can see the manhole. Isn't that what it's called? No, you're thinking of mother load mother load Manhole clothes the names are mother load. Yeah mother load gay bars gay bars get to name the bar The joke that people say when they're like we we can't name it that, they do. You know what I mean?

Like where everyone would be like, that'd be a funny name for a bar. Gay bars are like, no, no, no, that's what we're gonna call it. Yeah, no, that's it. I love that. We want it to smell like bleach and cum and very dim lighting and pick a safe word when you come in.

No, but it was, who do we go with? It was me, you and? I don't remember, another comic. It was another comic, but I don't remember who it was. That was a me, you, and? I don't remember, another comic. Yeah. It was another comic, but I don't remember who it was. That was a tough night. I disappeared. I remember getting, I had pizza.

Oh, it was Adam Devine? That sounds right. I don't know why that sounds right, but it does. It sounds right. Maybe that is. I think that's, it might've. One of the Adams, it was him or Ray? It wasn't Ray.

No, he's scared of it. No, he's so scared of that world. He'd get too comfortable. He barely texts me back barely He's like just just You know you text an Android in the text go green when I text you it's all rainbow text every time I'm like, what is that dude? Is that a phone that you've got a special filing? Yeah. Oh man. That was that was a really fun We were actually talking about that. You brought that up. Like I one of the last times I saw you, you were like, it's

changed. It's all changed. West Hollywood has changed. West Hollywood has changed. I fell in love with that place. I don't really go out. It stinks. It's just boring and it's not the same.

It's very... I feel like culturally it died a little bit. It used to have such a vibration to that city. It was so fun and alive. I used to love going out at night walking home from the store Seeing all these seeing all like tons of different kinds of people out and about getting fucked up partying It was so fun, and then years later. I would walk home, and it was like depressing and it's very Now it's very snobby and dangerous. It's dangerous now very dangerous. What What do you mean? Like people getting drugged, people getting robbed, people getting mugged. Oh, yeah, they have like, I mean, there's several bars where they have warnings. They pass out like, hey, if you think your drink is spiked, here's a test kit. Like they have like drink test kits at the bar. So everyone's spiking drinks now? People are spiking drinks, people are like going to the hospital. These fucking gen g's dude.

I got like a cease and desist from a bar. What? Yeah, cause I was doing my neighborhood duty because a friend of mine, like went for a happy hour, her and her girlfriends, just like mom's afternoon and she woke up at Cedars with two black eyes

and she was like, what happened? I just had two drinks. And I posted on my Instagram stories, it was like, hey, this bar, which we can all guess which one it was, not the manhole or prolapse. But I put it in my stories, and I was getting just strangers, strangers DMing me. Like this happened to me four years ago. This happened to me, I was getting just strangers, strangers DMing me. Like this happened to me four years ago. This happened to me, I was sexually assaulted

on the dance floor, I was taken in the back, I was thrown in a police car, I was crazy shit. And the bar was like, do you have to stop doing this? Well, and it was weird too because Tim Dillon DMed me and he was just like, dude, I'm so glad you're doing this. yeah, that's well, thank you. It's good work. Thank you captain Yeah, and then the bar was like hey cease and desist and I'm like for my Instagram stories like get out of here It's also a real story real stories. I guess the news publishes You can't like fucking tell the news to not but it's like no dude

That's a thing that happened there. You should know you should take care of it that's shady as fuck oh it's so shady and they were like oh we can't find the videotape for that day convenient get out of here very convenient just never gone and every time I have friends or people coming into town I'm like don't go there that's good well good that's so funny we can't find the tape Epstein was here that night cameras were off way to shut the bar down it was a god it's just crazy. That's sad that that used to because like you know years ago when we used to go out in West Hollywood it used to feel so like safe and fun. Yeah. Nothing. I mean maybe it was ignorance too. Yeah. Maybe it was just

like who cares. We were young and it didn't matter. Oh and the kids now. What. Here's the thing. I went to during during the fires, when I was in Palm Springs, I just went to like the bars there. The bar scene out there, yeah. Oh, it's just, it's perfect. In Palm Springs? Everyone just wants to sit down. Relax.

Yeah, yeah. Like everyone's in a chair. Right. You know? No one's under 30. No, no, no. Like I opened the door and Lance Bass was coming out and I was like, my king. He was like, Marnedale, what's up?

And I'm like, where are you going? He's like, we're going to some, I don't even remember where he was going. But yeah, I walked in and just, everyone's just like older and refined. There's just like old, like movies on like a TV screen. I like looked over, I was like, Nosferatu, good to see you again.

But yeah, I like that. I like sitting. The rocking chair culture. Oh, well that's the Southern. Yeah, that's the Southern in you. Cracker barrel of the gay bars. Hello there, Martin Dan. Welcome back.

Is Lance Bass anointed one of the, you know the British, what are they? Knight? Knight you? Yeah. Is he knighted in the gay community? For sure. He's knighted. Absolutely. Who else is knighted? Who's knighted? And why don't they do that? Why isn't there more knighting? I mean, why can't we do that? I mean, yeah. I mean, who would be, who would be knighted in your mind? In, in, in the gay world? Yeah, who'd be knighted? I mean, yeah. Who would be knighted in your mind? In the gay world? Yeah, who'd be knighted? I mean, Elton John. I mean, I think he is.

No, he's knighted for real. Sir, he's sir, yeah. I mean, like Americans? Yeah, us. I don't wanna talk about British people. Gross. I would say Lance. I would probably say like a-

Wendy Williams is probably, no? Wendy Williams? Is she not? She would be a dame for sure. Yeah, I feel like she's a big- Dame Wendy Williams is probably no Wendy Williams she would be she would be a dame for sure yeah I feel like she's a dame Wendy Williams right yeah we're rooting for her for sure she is being held she recently went on Charlamagne the gods podcast and said that she is in a conservatorship against her will and Britney Spears thing? Kinda, yeah, sorta. Except Britney was her dad? Who is it? Who owned her? Her dad. I thought you asked if Britney was Wendy Williams' dad. And I was like, what?

Isn't she? I don't know how much whiskey's going on in here. They do dance a lot. Yeah, but Britney was held in a conservatorship from her father from her dad who's conservating Wendy Williams these two white lawyers The whites are at it again So, I mean it is it is kind of wild cuz you're just like damn that's so dark Yeah, I mean because people don't believe her is that what it is like people like are you that's so fucked Yeah, and I think it's like a mix of like just medication and a little bit of kind of going crazy because of the medication and the alcoholism and all that kind of stuff.

And they keep you medicated so everyone thinks you're crazy. And then the more they put you in public and then you get arrested and people are like, we can't believe this person, she gets arrested all the time. There it is. Isn't that fucking wild? It's weird. And it's a real thing.

But also like, I kind of want that to happen to me one day. No. No. Like. Who could be your conservator? I would, I would do it. You would be my conservator. I would do it, and they'd believe me. I'd be like, you need to know what this guy's up to.

I catch him at prolapse every fucking Tuesday. Bust him. That would be, I don't, yeah, it is, it's. It is strange, because I thought she had had something I thought she was sick. Yeah Well, they had a documentary that where she was just like I was ago. She's sick. Yeah, and then and then she called in on Charlemagne the god she called in on Her and cat Williams should do a thing together Don Lemon She don't let an interview to and she sounds like coherent and fine. So obviously someone's trying to put her out there

looking bad. Yeah, I think she knows things, if you know what I mean, about a certain. She does. Little Diddy, little Diddy, diddy, do ya? I think she talked about Diddy a lot in the past, right? She even, in the interview, she's like, Diddy done. And I was like, damn.

Yeah, no, well, he is, there's no doubt about that. There's no doubt. It's funny, when I, like I did it this weekend, I'm so dumb, because we were talking about, it's Laura, or someone brought up Celine Dion. Laura Peake? Yeah. As she should.

Well, I think it was something about, because we were talking about, she comes out to, she comes out to Dolly Parton, and then we were talking about these artists that like still perform as they get older, and they're still as good as they were when they were young, and blah, blah, blah, and then it led to somehow into Celine Dion and then She said something like oh, I feel so bad

And I was like what do you mean you feel so bad like I had no idea and then they're like no She's got this crazy disease. I was like person syndrome. It's called stiff person syndrome. Yeah, I just do you know this I just learned this yeah, this is that see thank God you're shaking your head. I'm so glad I'm here today Wait stiff person syndrome is what it's really. Yeah, when she when we were talking about like that's not a fucking real thing. It's a real thing It's it affects one. I think it said one in one million or more people. Yeah, so it's literally one in the purse Stiff person. Yeah, Celine Dion why why I think this is government oriented it must know what this is I don't think no one's is cracking the hood.

One of the things that can trigger it is unexpected or loud noises. Yeah. She fucking sings for a living. She puts on shows. She pounds her chest. Physical touch, change in temperatures, or stressful events.

So just life? That's like saying you're allergic to water. Which by the way, I think I saw that on one of those strange addiction things. This woman claimed she was allergic to water, so she had to drink like Coke or whatever, and they're like, that's not a real thing. But then somebody looked it up, there is a real yeah there is people that are alerted to water

she's very sensitive she can't move she also has seizures so if you watch the Celine Dion the documentary documentary which let me I know you guys are like straight so if you're as far as you know hey look I don't want. You know me long enough, dude. Listen, I heard things. And I don't want your lifestyle down my throat. But it's a good plane watch. It is. Yeah, good plane watch. I need a good plane watch. Get a good plane watch.

Get a movie, you're like, I'm not gonna watch this at home. Good plane watch, I am Celine. Just get a window seat so you can just turn towards it and just cry so that no one doesn't see you because it's like, it's intense. It's heavy. It's crazy, yeah.

She's just like, I was on top of the world and it all went away. But she still is, right? Isn't she still going to be super rich and famous? I mean, she's fine. What do you do when you get to that level though? Do you want to keep, see this what what irks me is like sometimes? Don't you want to ride off into the sunset? I don't want to go out on the other side Yeah, I think like if everything's if you're that age cuz she's got to be what 60

Celine Dion think she's 57 what let me think look can I guess no way she's 60 something 66 Wait really you get the whole time You thought she was 60 something 56 what he six We really you get the whole time You thought she was 60 something March 30 1968 she's a Canadian 56 the only reason I said is because she's been famous for so long my mind only assumes Exactly must be much older. Oh, dude. I thought Maggie Smith was like a hundred and twenty no Always old right yeah, she was all I always knew old Maggie Smith was always old, right? She was all, I always knew old Maggie Smith, and then they're like, oh, she passed away at 90 something.

I'm like, 90 something? I thought she was actually on Downton Abbey, like during the time. That's the same thing with Morgan Freeman. He's been in the same age for a hundred years. It's so weird when you're like, I've always known these people as old adults Yeah, and they're still around that's it is well because they got famous later in life

Well, not fit, but I mean they became recognizably like stamped into your the history books at a sort of like Morgan Freeman with with Shawshank is how I'll always remember Morgan. Yeah, and he kind of looks the same Mm-hmm, right and that was how long ago 30 Shawshank 90 or 94 yeah, that's crazy. It's a great movie. I saw that movie on an airplane I mean you look the same age as when I met you too though. Thank you. No you literally It's kind of creepy though when you start getting trolled for People think you've had like cosmetic work done. Oh like what people say that to you. Oh, yeah, really it What do they think you've gotten done gets me hard brow lift brow lift? like cosmetic work done. Oh, like what? People say that to you. Oh yeah. Really? What do they think you've gotten done?

Be like this BBL is kicking. But I don't want to let them win. I don't want to let them win. No, and I'm like, hey, there will come a time where I'm just like, hey Andrew, it's me. You're like, when did you prolapse, Justin? I'm like, hey, there will come a time where I'm just like, hey, Andrew, it's me. You're like, when did you prolapse, Justin? I'm like, when did I not? But yeah, it's interesting getting older

and seeing the people get older. There was somebody the other day that I was like, oh yeah, Jimmy Carter, like he passed away at 100. And then like SNL made a joke about him. What did they say? They were doing like some sketch, which. What, no bueno? SNL.

Tough for you, huh? Whoo. They did two sketches this past week. I watch them all the time on YouTube. They did two about podcasting. Yeah. Back to back. I was like, that's pretty crazy.

It was pretty wild. They hate podcasts. Oh yeah. We do too, SNL. Yeah, yeah. But they did a joke where they were like in a bungee class and they like went limp on the bungee. I saw it on the, yeah.

They were like, Jimmy Carter. And people were like, wait a minute. And I'm like, you know, he was a hundred years old. Yeah. That's writing on, he rode off into the sunset. 100%. Well, literally rode, he was in a wheelchair. Yeah.

They wheel him out in the sun. Remember that picture of them just like putting him in the sun for a minute? That made me so sad. Did you think he was dead? Yeah. You think he was dead then? He looked dead.

I think they keep him... I think when you're that famous, they keep you publicly alive until they decide that it's time for you to go. Do you watch... Come on. Have you ever seen like a video... not like a faces of death or like a... I've seen that. That was my whole college career. Yeah, I feel like that was like our generation. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, it was so dark, dude There's a there's a Twitter account sometimes that pops up That's like people moments before they die and it's always like kids doing parkour on like an 85 foot building

You know and they're jumping from the 85 story building I mean and they just and they let go and then it cuts to black. It's it's insane Yeah, there was a guy yesterday or a girl a guy or a girl on the new on the on like in South America the hang glider, their parachute was like spinning around so fast and they just got out of it. I was like what? No, go down with it. Like crash. Oh, they were like, well, we're done. They just got out of the harness. Yeah, I was like, no, dude. Did you see the crazy guy punch the restaurant window?

Yeah, what was that about? Cut his arm open. No way He was gushing so much blood. I don't know why I like watching these things. It's disgusting I shouldn't watch them, but they once they come on my for for you or my Explorer I'm always like I know I want to watch it. I gotta watch it. Yeah, like there was a woman with her daughter They almost get hit by a bus. Isn't that crazy that that's on fucking Twitter now? That's so gross. It used to be like the like a VHS tape like wrapped in a trash bag and you had to like go to a friend's house who had it hidden under their house and now it's just like... Don't tell anybody you came over and saw it.

Yeah, let's watch a bear rip a, you know, schoolgirl's throat out. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's too accessible. That was where people get their news. It's the same exact place that you're seeing murder every day. The one of my favorites. Yeah, give me your favorite. Is like the Anne Heish video? What is that? Oh, well she crashes her car. She, well she crashes her car. I remember seeing that. And then they get her out. Oh right, and she like gets up. And she, they they she unzips the bag and she's like She was alive still something and then like she passed away in the hospital

It's a terrifying the same conservators of Wendy Williams were there on the scene. Yeah, they were zipping it up I every time I watch that I edge so hard It is true dude it is it is funny how much dark shit is on the internet. And also, I learned over the weekend to block Meta and Facebook. Oh, were you doing that? I blocked it on all my- Look at you, Dad. Well, because the kids said to do it.

They said, do you notice your FYP is different? And so my Explorer and all that other stuff looked, it, stuff was in there that I'm like, I never click on this kind of shit. And then it immediately changed. like now when I open it up It's it's all what it always was before which is just like car videos Like us a very violent interaction There's always like a crazy like fight or like a there's always like a bar fight or like bouncer throws guy out

Oh, yeah, that was my favorite shows are on yeah, it's the same. It's like that, it's returned to its old, by the way. Wait, are we looking at FYPs? Open your explore, yeah I want to see what's on. Wait, is it Instagram or? Well both, you can do both. Your explore page or your FYP. Whatever is on your 4U. Wait, TikTok, FYP or what? TikTok, give me your 4U. Like what is it?

a certain amount of time, then it's like, this is what you want. Like, this is, oh, I also have one called Fat Girls. Oh, and it's also like really mediocre stand-up comedy. See, I don't have any stand-up on mine. Wicked, pecs, muscles, yeah. Did you see Wicked? The movie, yeah. Youicked, pecs, muscles, yeah. Did you see Wicked? The movie, yeah.

You liked it? It was okay, yeah. Did you like it? I didn't see it. You haven't seen it? It gave me anxiety. You gave me like a squint, like you're thinking about it. Because everyone's talking about it, so it's funny,

I'm gonna wait till it's all dissipated, all the hype, and then see it. Well, you know it's not going to. There's a part two coming out. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh, fuck. Where have you been?

Guess what, I'll never see it now. If they make a part two and I haven't seen the part one, I just give up. Yeah, actually, I would just start with part two. And just not do part one. Well, it just gets there. It ends quicker, you know? Do you think it's worthy of less Oscars than Amelia Perez?

What a wonderful topic of discussion. Did you watch Amelia Perez? No, did you? No, but I feel like we're supposed to now. No one has seen this movie. You haven't seen it either? No. It doesn't look good.

13 nominations. 13, it's up there with like the English patient. It's more than the Godfather. Godfather, like I'm baffled by it. It's one of those movies where I keep telling myself like I'm gonna do it and then I'm like I Just don't and it's no I just don't I Don't care. Do you even like musicals ish ish, right? It's got music gotta be fucking good. It's gotta be good, but then I think I saw that clip of like... I'd like to know about sex operations.

That one. Okay, okay, okay. I want vaginoplasty, we can do that. It's so weird. It's like, is this South Park? Like, what is this? It did seem like South Park couldn't even dupe that. I want a Levia Majora and a Menorah.

Where is my clitoral hood? By the way, they're going to do a version of The Godfather, they're remaking it with the same storyline that he makes him an offer he can't refuse

and it's to transition and that's how he gets in the family. I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse. You got a transition, want to stay in the family They're doing it to Scarface say hello to my little friend Yeah, yep, I do want to see it only because I want to see why people hate it so much I but do they I don't understand. Yeah, the internet doesn't like it at all I mean the kids the kids don't like it anybody like his age. It's like mid-20s. They hate it They absolutely hate it. Why do you hate it? I think just the Oscars are out of touch

I mean out of touch they've been out of touch for a long time But I agree there are a lot of movies that kind of got snub like Margaret Qualley got snubbed for the substance Does he maybe have told you you look like Margaret Qualley? That's her son Who that's her son? No, it's not. That's Margaret Qualley son the whole time. Does nepotism your any your Annie McDowell son? grandson of quality son the whole time this nepotism your any your any McDowell son grandson grandson what no are you fucking with me yeah dude he's a noise I totally believe you know I know also my my my grandma's maiden name is quality spelt in the same way so when we totally look like let's do 23 and me fun time

with my parents and now credits are rolling my mom was like oh quality that's that's my mom's maiden name so wait. We're just out right now, huh? What if we just figured this out right now? You're actually really wild well. It's her dad It would explain why you got so far so fast in Hollywood because you have the same like Like soft face yeah, but like yeah, I love it. He's like you're right keep going But he did the blue piercing eyes to be honest right now. He needs the ego it. He's like, you're right, keep going. The blue piercing eyes. To be honest right now, he needs the ego boost. He's feeling a little low.

That's why I'm here. That's why he called me. That's why he called me today. This isn't just a podcast. You're like, we need to help him. We need help. He did this thing today where he said, you know, like he's in his twenties, he lives alone.

And I felt it this morning when he was like, I just been a little bit depressed. And what's funny is I do remember those days when you are living alone, you do go through that like, I I'm a little maybe I'm too much of a recluse and I'm a little sad right now and then you go out and it just doesn't satisfy you it's something about it that you get really like anxious you're like am I single and alone and sad or am I? But then you gotta like suck it up and remind yourself you're not a pussy. You're not a pussy. No I mean I think your 20s are a

good time to like figure out depression. But it is weird when you live alone for the first time. Oh yeah. You do get a little, it does fuck you up sometimes. You're like, now what? I have to go buy groceries to keep myself alive? Gross. Ugh, get out of here.

It's too quiet at night. I have to shower? For who? It's quiet. It's very quiet. It's very quiet at night when you're alone. And that white noise machine, you can even hear the echoes in the white noise machine.

I think it's interesting because there was a clip that came up about the biggest disappointments in Oscar history and how the Oscars kind of award people. They're like, oh shit, we should have given it to,

like for instance. Make up awards and stuff like that, yeah. Well, like for instance, they said Renee Zellweger shouldn't have won for Cold Mountain because everyone thought she was gonna win for Chicago. And they were like, oh, she lost. I forgot who won instead. I don't remember.

But anyways, so they gave it to her for Cold Mountain. So it's very like whatever, but at the same time, I feel like this Oscars especially, there was so many people who were snubbed. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, Angelina didn't get nominated, Nicole Kidman didn't get nominated. Challengers didn't get nominated for score.

Who? Challengers didn't get nominated for best score. Yeah, Challenge, which was a great score. It was so good, trying to rise there. But what does it matter? See, this is what's weird. It doesn't matter. We're entering a new time when it's like,

it's not as meaningful. Yeah. And it's only not as meaningful because they've lost the pulse So like it just takes away from whatever weight it might have had Culturally and in the actual industry both of them. It still affects box office numbers, but not as much as it did in the 90s I know but fucking Emilio Perez made 11 million dollars the budget was 25. Yeah, they lost their ass They probably literally probably lost 30 million dollars after marketing and it's culturally of the time

I don't know okay cool, but like wicked one for best box office at the Golden Globes, which is a new category Yeah, but wicked made such a stupid wicked was like everything made a billion dollars. Yeah, didn't make a billion dollars Yeah, the money's enough. Why do you need an award? No no no it's ego It's it's it's it's history. It's you, it's, you know, it's Hollywood, but it's also- You wanna get stamped. Yeah, but I also, this is what kinda pisses me off too about the Oscars, it's like, you know, they're like, oh, Selena Gomez got snubbed and da-da-da-da.

I'm like, Pamela Anderson got snubbed and Pamela's just like, hey, I'm sorry, I didn't think in a million years that me, Pamela Anderson, would ever be nominated for an Oscar. I saw her documentary, it was good. No, not the Anderson, would ever be nominated for an Oscar. I saw her documentary was good. No, not the documentary, the last showgirl, about her being the Las Vegas showgirl. No, I just saw a documentary about her. She's got a documentary out. When she's like at her house with her kids. It's great. It's fantastic.

It was rad that she was just like, yeah, fuck it all. She's awesome. That's cool. But then I'm like, why are we overshadowing the first time nominees? There's a whole bunch of people who've never been nominated before and they're like, oh, okay. But Angelina Jolie, she wasn't nominated. That means Brad Pitt hates her.

It's just like, get out of here. It's almost more rad to never get nominated. There's something about it that's like, if you can float your way through the game and be good and never get nominated, it's kind of rad. Demi Moore? Never been nominated, huh? For anything.

Whoa, that's tight. Anything. That makes me like her so much more. Oh, she's the hottest thing. That's so cool to never get nominated. I hooked up with a guy once and we were at a house and Demi Moore FaceTimed him. And he was like, this is Justin.

And I'm like, no, not like this. And it was like, yeah. You hooked up with Ashton Kutcher? Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah, it was wild. It was just, yeah. It was so 70s.

He's like, you got punked, Justin, you just suck in his cock. Did you imagine? I'm like, what in your head, man? Are you gonna sign up for this? No, it was just like, it was a friend of hers and she was like, what are you doing? He's like, ha ha, and I'm like.

Just like a meerkat. And she was like, oh my God, look at you. And I'm like, this is not the way I wanted to see Demi Moore. Isn't that funny? Sometimes you meet people, you're like, I didn't want to meet you like this. I don't want to meet you like this. It is so funny, I hate that.

I'm like the lady in The Matrix, not like this. Not like this, yeah. I have met people through friends like that and I maybe am a fan of them or something. And I'm like, I don't wanna meet you here like this. I feel like I look like shit. I'm drunk, I'm fat. You know, I was like,

I don't want you to think like this is me. This is me on a regular basis. No, I'm on a bender. I'm just, it's a cry for help. It's a cry for help. It's a cry for help. I'm not in my 20s talking to insects in my room. He is, dude. But don't put that in his head.

Now he's like, I should get some bugs. I should get some bugs. Get an ant farm, just a casual ant farm. Bring it back. Or, dude, I've said this, get a cat. Because you don't need to be home all the time. Just get a cat, it'll be there for you. I'm allergic to cats.

And when you kill yourself. I'm allergic to cats. Well, when you kill yourself in your apartment, they'll eat you. Yeah, they eat you. They It'll be there and when you cut yourself allergic to cat well yourself in your apartment They'll eat you yeah, they clean up for you. Yeah You are allergic to cats. I'm allergic to some cats. I've dated some people that have a cat driving nuts Did you fucking piss me off all the time? It's crazy. How much I love you You don't have any fucking bullshit allergies do you know yeah, I see adults Yeah, it is weird that like our generation had no allergies and everyone has all of them

What is that because we're just giving poison all our lives. We think it would do we start we started the poison revolution Yeah, we had better poison obviously we drink unfiltered water from a hose hose water hose water and maybe stronger I guess it did when I think about all the bullshit that we ingested as kids I'm like I guess maybe it was better than to be more chemically processed. Pop rocks, like what else was poisonous? Pop rocks was for sure chemical, just really chemical poisonous. Ecto cooler?

Yeah, that's so bad. What the fuck was that? It was like neon green liquid. Do you remember Jolt Cola? Jolt Cola, yeah, absolutely. Do you know what that is? It had like 100 grams of sugar and it said like four times the caffeine. I remember there was outside of a store in a strip mall on the way home from my

junior high we'd go like go there and grab something to drink or eat on the walk home it had a sign said 4x the caffeine yeah you do there's no way you need four times the caffeine of a coke absolutely I mean now it's like what I mean what's the equivalent of that I feel like it's well everyone drinks Red Bull now like Red Bull is Red Bull is like monster monster. Yeah, yeah, or what's the other fit? What's the biggest one Celsius? Celsius is new that's like the hot one That's like the fucking but Celsius is supposed to be is it like it's people like it because it's fruit juice Is that what it is? I don't know it's just I'm like does they're like oh this can of shit

Helps burn fat. I'm like okay How want to know just start the Ozempempic Bobby got on the ozempic He's riding high on that. It's gonna kill everybody Bobby's on his ozempic.

That's some good music. I'm excited. I think the Grammys will pretty... The youthful wave of new music I get introduced to by the internet is kind of rad. I do like that. It does keep me on my toes in a way that, because I remember my dad's generation fucking hated everything we listened to yeah they didn't like anything we listened to they hated all of it and I was always like I don't want to ever be that way I don't have to like all of it but I have to like try to see if it vibes with me a little bit mm-hmm because still to this day if I show my dad a song he's like yeah I fucking

Yikes. Get off the pink cocaine, kids. Don't try it out. No one else has. Ugh. You can't just start a drug when no one else has really tried it. Yeah, you gotta let... Also, you always gotta let one of your fall guys try your shit before you.

No pun intended. Oh. Whoa. Wait, who do you not like? Like what artist... I'm always interested, like... Like what's our... Because you listen to a lot of hip hop.

But federal men is $7. When you were you worked in bars and restaurants didn't you? I did. what was your minimum wage then do you remember? I think I got paid two dollars and eighty seven dude. I think that's what I have cuz I Lived in Texas. It was like two fourteen or something like that crazy Yeah, and I remember I lived in like Dallas at the time and which is which is actually really affluent Dallas

Is a lot of fucking money, and it was like you made like two dollars and.14, and then everything else was like tips. Yeah. So you got to keep your tips. But then I worked in a restaurant where they just wouldn't tip you. And you're like, what the fuck? And they were like. So $2.

Dude, I remember one of my favorite stories ever, as I was working at this restaurant in Dallas called Papa Do's. Wait, is that a chain? Yeah. Yeah, I know Papa Doe's. Yeah, Papa Doe's. Like, Cajun food. Yeah. Yeah, it was, I had a blast working there, but I also had like a homophobic manager and I... I never worked there. No, you didn't work there. No, no, no, but your brother did. Yeah. And yeah, I got like, I did my hair like highlights and he was like, and the handbuck, nope, no, but your brother did yeah, and yeah, I got like I did my hair like highlights And he was like and the handbook note men can't have strange zany hairstyles It says it in the handbook men can't have strange things like

Like this bitch has purple hair yeah, and they're like well, she's a girl She's a girl weird hair like okay, Justin I want you to sweep up the floor, but I'm afraid you'll sit on the broom. I know. Listen, Mark. That was one time, and it was the mop and bucket.

But no, I had, there was like a church group that came in. It was like a Sunday brunch, and like this, you know, church group came in, and they wanted all the checks split up. And I mean, I was on it. Like I was nice. They were like, oh yes, everything's great. And some people left without paying.

Sure. Some people took off here. And then like the actual preacher was like left with the bill. And they like paid out everything. I was like, oh cool. And I couldn't add gratuity. They wouldn't let me add gratuity. Not automatic for part ofages six or more? Well

Not automatic at the time. Okay. I need to ask manager permission and So I went up to the guy afterwards and I was like hey what the hell like why didn't you Tip me was everything okay? He's like, oh, yeah, everything was great. Great. Everything was awesome I'm like, okay, but then like what's this? and he's like, oh yeah, everything was great, great, everything was awesome. And I'm like, okay, but then like, what's this? Looks me dead in the eyes and he goes,

oh, I'm sorry, son, I gave all my money to Jesus this morning. Oh my God, dude. Talk about prolapse. Like I was just like, like what? Like the fact, like someone just straight face said that to me. God got my money. I gave all my money to God this morning.

God got my money, Phil. Okay, cool. And you're not gonna get it for me Leviticus 11 3 thou shall not tip now who likes caucus It's in the good book. They did not tip in the land of Sodom and Gomorrah. That's right It's just the tip remember that I got bugged all the time I worked at a restaurant that had ten cent wings You think those you think that comfort and ten cent wings are gonna tip you ten cent wings yeah I'll have two wings well people would order that and be like dude you have to get you have to have six wings it's the minimum and they'd be like I don't want six wings I want three

like are you kidding me yeah all the time so you had to make three wings in the back I didn't make them they fucking made them but it was so it was so annoying like six was the minimum was ten cent wings the reason we got we did that deal is cuz you had to buy a drink. Now, it didn't have to be a beer, but you had to buy like a Coke or like anything to get the 10 cent deal. So people would buy the cheapest,

they'd be like, what's the cheapest drink you have? It's lemonade or some shit. So it was like $2.20 or something. And then they'd get a couple of wings and that's it. And then they'd leave me whatever the change was. So those 10 cent Tuesday nights were fucking, whenever I got scheduled, I was like, I'm actually gonna kill myself. I'm actually gonna kill myself. Oh I mean I look at people

now like in the service industry and I get it. Oh yeah. I mean I have such an appreciation for that just because I've been there. Yeah. And when they're on and they're good, I'm like it's the best feeling in the world because you're just like not only are you cool, you know what you're doing. I'm like, it's the best feeling in the world because you're just like, not only are you cool, you know what you're doing. And I just remember like, I started dying there. I think you would come in to my restaurant every now and then.

This was like, what, like, shit, I don't remember how long ago this was. 10 years maybe. It was not five years ago. 10. It was 10 years ago. I just said 10. Oh, you said 10, I think you were like two weeks ago.

No, ten years ago. No, which that place closed down by the way. I heard, I heard through the grapevine, RIP. RIP, but yeah it was probably. You were miserable as shit. Oh miserable, oh I was the worst. Whenever I saw you I was like, hey baby, like hey.

Is there someone always just died. I think I would actually just say, just shoot me but like in full voice so customers could hear me. Kill me please. Just fucking break my legs. I do have a high level of respect for it because it sucks so much. Also sometimes you get people like,

we had this girl in Philly made me laugh so hard because I could tell she was going through some shit and she was like, what do you guys want to drink? And we were like, oh, I'll just have coffee and someone else got a Bloody Mary. And she's like, good, get to drinking. It's not gonna get any better. And I was like, what do you guys want to drink? And we were like, oh, I'll just have coffee. And someone else got a Bloody Mary. And she's like, good. Get to drinking. It's not going to get any better.

And I was like, holy shit. And then she walked away. She came back. And we were laughing a little bit. And then she goes, she comes back and she's like, I can't drink vodka or whatever. And I was like, oh, really? Why?

And she's like, well, my boyfriend and I got into a tiff. Oh, here we go. Dude, and then she, we didn't rest. Yes, but kept telling. Dude, and then she She was just like I Fucking knocked over the Christmas tree and I was like how and she said we got into a fight We started yelling I was screaming.
