What's going on, everybody? Guess what? It's me. It's a new episode of the Cuddy Adventure. Hello, hello everybody. Well, as you can tell, we are on a different day today. We are on a Wednesday. Few things came up on Tuesday, weren't able to get into the studio and get everything done, but I figured, hey, a day late isn't the worst thing, okay? Now, before we get started, if you have a chance, stop by all of the Cuddy Adventure social media on X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, say what's up, give a follow, subscribe, whatever you want to do. It's really, really, really appreciated. Cuddy, the Cuddy Adventure on all social media. Well, you know, so much stuff goes on in the world, and sometimes you gotta go, you know what, guys, let's all relax, let's go and kick back for a few and listen to, you know, an interesting, interesting interview. Now, I stumbled across one and I said, you know what, let me check it out. And it was, and don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of his anymore, Howard Stearns, but he does do good interviews. The problem is he only goes one way with the interview, you know, he never has both sides of a topic, or maybe you don't agree with everything that the person says, and but you still go and get interviewed by him. Joe Rogan's a great example. I don't really know what his beliefs are. I think at one point he was a Bernie Sanders guy, and he, you know, always voted for him, and it had him on there once, and literally grilled him, had Trump on, invited Kamala Harris on, she refused because she wouldn't travel to Texas because she didn't have her handlers around her, and the interview was gonna be a while. But I like when you can put set aside whatever you want, or excuse me, whatever your thoughts are, and just do an interview, or just talk to somebody that's interesting and get some like cool behind the scenes stuff. So I don't like what Howard Stern has become. I thought he was funny as shit back in the day, and I get it. You can't be doing the same jokes over and over, and you know, think you're going to keep going. Problem is, I don't think you can go such 180 and have such a hatred toward half of your audience basically, and think it's gonna work. Because again, I used to listen to him all the time, and I could deal with the guy, because again, I could listen to uh Joe Rogan when he was a Bernie Sanders fan. I didn't care because I liked what his interviews, his interview style, you know, allowing the the the ho or excuse me, allowing the guest to kind of go in whatever direction that they think that they would like to go, and he was it was good, and Harold Stern could do that too, but when you only have Joe Biden, when you only have Kamala Harris, when you're constantly bashing Trump, which by the way, some of the biggest interviews, like numbers-wise, Stern ever had was with Trump, which is you know, I'm sure people get if people don't realize that, forget, or whatever. But you know, two New York guys, you're only gonna, and I can guarantee you, I don't think Howard Stern has that much animosity in real life toward him, and if he does, then you're nuts because I don't like a lot of people that have the crazy ass ideas. Doesn't mean I won't talk to them if they want to do this show, for example. I'll be more than happy to do that. So, I did listen to an interview that he had, which I really liked, was one with Bill Murray. And I like Bill Murray, I love his uh films, I thought he was very funny comedian on Saturday Night Live. You know, the movies he's done, like Ghostbusters, Groundog Day, you know, Stripes, just a few movies. The the uh grounds guy in Caddyshack, he's really funny, and I always crack up when I hear these stories about you know him and Chevy Chase disliking one another and how Bill Murray's brother kind of egged each other on to get into a fight or whatever. But the interview, what I liked, what part I liked about it, was when they were talking about the biography, it's not even a biography, the book that Bob Woodward wrote about John Belushi. Okay, now Bill Murray, John Belushi were colleagues, good friends, knew each other, you know, all that. And then you get a guy like Bob Woodward, and this happens all the time. I like that even Howard Stern said this, and again, like I said, I am one to be able to listen to anybody, no matter if I disagree with him, agree with him, think he's nuts, don't find him like you know, funny anymore, whatever. But I liked how he even said, you know, he had a book written about him, and he got, and the people that interviewed him, them, the the people to put in the book, were these just random just people from like his childhood or you know, fringe people that didn't know the ins and outs. And that's what supposedly what Bill Murray was talking about with about Bob Woodward. You know, Bob Woodward wrote a ton of books, and I always listened to him, and he always sounded like sort of like a dickhead, sort of like this guy where if you question anything he said, he was gonna call you out and basically call you like an imbecile. I like the movie about him, Woodward and Bernstein. Um, what's the name of the film? It was with um Dustin Hoffman and uh Robert Redford. Great film. But when you see Bob Woodward speak on different uh shows, you kind of start going, this dude's kind of a fucking fraud, right? Whether it's now we're finding out about this John Belushi film, or film, excuse me, book, where Bill Murray said he was he read five pages and he said, This is bullshit. It was like they were interviewing these fringe guys, like on the this is what Bill Murray was saying, on the outside, not in the inner circle, and you know, he said he had information that the LAPD was involved, didn't have any information, according to Bill Murray, and I believe Bill Murray, because that's one of his good friends, but then you start then going, you know, this Bob Woodward has been running around peddling all these books about all this stuff he knows, claiming he's an expert on everything. Like I think he wrote like two books on Trump. I can tell you damn well that that guy had no at all, you know, inside, you know, feelers or you know, people when it comes to Donald Trump. I can pretty much guarantee you Donald Trump would not allow that guy like within a hundred yards of don't forget the Oval Office, a hundred yards of the gates to the White House. So you go then wondering, why the hell does this guy have this much pull? Right? And not just him, like I just find a lot of these quote unquote experts that either write books or sports people who say they are the inside fat guy, they know all when it comes to trades and transfers or whatever it is. You start going, if you gotta be that high and mighty that you put expert in front of your name, you're one an asshole, and two, you maybe don't know as much because you gotta be that because it's again, it's like the bully who keeps telling everybody they're the toughest guy in the room. The toughest guy in the room is the guy standing over there all alone, not saying shit until he punches you in the head. So I like that this Bob Wood Woodward is getting called out. The only problem is, you know, I saw this goes back to like Howard Stern not looking at all sides, and that's the one downfall of his. I can tell you right now, if he wasn't so hell-bent to try to like degrade anybody that doesn't agree with what he says, I would listen probably. Because I find a lot of his interviews interesting, but I don't want to mud through the bullshit. But he said Woodward was like, you know, and now you're I mean, excuse me, Howard Stern was like, you know, now you're thinking, holy shit, they set up Nixon. And that's the whole thing, like this guy's claim to fame, would Bob Woodward, was the Nixon uh, you know, scandal, uh, Watergate. And you're going, well, how true is that? If now guys that are that were very close to the subject of this book is saying that it's bullshit, how accurate was he on the Nixon? Because that's what that's what basically got the ball rolling, took him down. And back then, obviously, there was no internet, there was no way really, because it was only what, you know, three channels on TV, and there wasn't, you know, all these outlets, you could get your work, your talk out. Like, you know, if this was present-day, Nixon or his people could be running to a Howard Stern or to a podcast or YouTube or wherever, and to kind of like stop this and say, this guy is making up stories because all these, it seems like all these kinds of stories are made up. You can guarantee the whole Trump book is made up. Now, you know, we're all finding out the John Belushi story that he wrote was bullshit. How many other books did he write that people just went along with it because they just were like, well, this guy's an expert. Look what, look at the Nixon, look at the Nixon uh Watergate, look what they found out. I'm now going, what the fuck? I was like, this film I watched, which I told you I thought was good, because it's I like good movies, but I'm going, how fucking accurate was that? Was Robert Redford, rep Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman like just going like, this isn't believable. Like now you're really thinking, like, how believable is any of this? And again, I go to the other ones. You have too many idiots running around news channels, and it's not look, don't get me wrong, I think Democrats are buffoons, but there is a lot of Republicans that are full of shit too. The channels like I always find funny when you turn on um like a uh like a morning show, right? Of on Fox happens on CNBC, not CNBC, MSNBC or MS, whatever it's called now, CNN, and they get these experts, and like say, oh, she's an expert doctor in XYZ field, and you're like, this chick looks like she was just out at like a nightclub dancing around. You're trying to tell me this person right here is a doctor or a lawyer. Every one of these people are lawyers, meanwhile, they look like models. I'm like, a lawyer where? A doctor when? Like, you know what I mean? Like, I think a lot of this is like, oh, an expert in the field of whatever. Also, if anybody ever tells me they're an expert and we had to go through that horseshit COVID and everybody was an expert. I hadn't I had like neighbors telling me they're experts on masks. I was like, what what kind of expert are you in mask? You were just rolling around in your own garbage, right? Looking for like, you know, a lottery ticket, you just dropped in the garbage. Now you're telling me you're the expert on everything sanitary. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, so if anybody claims they're experts in this, give me a break, right? You know what I mean? Like, nobody is an expert in this shit. And Bob Woodward or the sport, like, I always find it funny, like these sports guys, these guys that go on ESPN, like, what's the football uh guy that's always on all these shows, and he gets an attitude when somebody calls out something he said that was completely wrong, and he goes, Oh yeah, yeah. Like, I'm like, dude, you're literally having an argument like you were a ninth grader yelling about your like fantasy football. You claim to be an expert, so when you claim that and you're completely fucking wrong, then you can get called out and don't get a little bitchy ass attitude because you're getting called out. So I don't I don't take a lot of that at with a grain of salt, and you know, I also don't like when everything is like doomsday, depending on like who's talking, who's in charge, right? So if you talk to the Democrats right now, everything is fucking doomsday. Alright, and then when you go to the other side, now don't get me wrong, I think you know, the Republicans for a while, you know, everybody was screaming, you know, this is the end of everything when Clinton was in office or whatever. It hadn't really started that until like Obama when he started like mate letting guys, dudes, and guys going into girls' bathrooms and that, but you know, up until recently it wasn't doomsday. Now all bets are off because there are some wacky fucking ideas running through people's brains. But when when you just hear everything, it's the end of this, it's the end of that, like when an expert of the climate comes on, and they tell me, you, and everybody else, you know, make sure your cars are electric, don't drive muscle cars or big trucks. I'm like, how'd you get how'd you get to the uh studio? L an SUV, all right. And how did you get into the city? Oh, you flew in. Oh right, right, right. Why didn't you walk? Why didn't you take an electric car? By the way, if this shit is such a great idea, where are the electric planes? You know where they're at? They don't exist because we'd be having planes in your backyard because they'd be flop falling out of the sky. So, experts upon experts upon experts, idiots. So I would never, if you ever see unauthorized or renowned expert, how is he an expert, Bob Woodward, by the way, on John Belushi? You know what I mean? Like, I can I can basically bet my you know, give me a number to bet. I can basically bet that and know that Bob Woodward never had any run-ins with a John Belushi. I can guarantee you a Bob Woodward has never had any run-ins with a Donald Trump. And I can tell you right now, whether it's me seeing that film or just kind of seeing documentaries, Bob Woodward, if he was dealing with the dudes that were the guys that were doing whatever shenanigans Nixon was having them do, those those types of guys aren't guys to mess with. Bob Woodward would have shit his pants and had to clean himself with his tweed jacket. That's what would have happened. So whenever you see any of these unauthorized or you know, I spoke to uh so and so's inner circle, take it with a grain of salt. But I did like, really liked the um the the uh Howard Stern interview with Bill uh Murray. Like I said, I can get I can you know get on and listen to interviews like that because those are sort of neutral. I don't like when he then goes on these diatribes about, you know, because he was in he's one of the assholes that told everybody that you know if you don't get your uh COVID shots you're trying to kill people. No, you're just an asshole when it comes to telling people what they should have to do with their own bodies. Isn't that familiar? Holy shit. But, you know, I do like his interviews, I like the Chevy Chase one. I mean, some of his best ones were the Osbornes. I thought that was amazing. I loved the Donald Trump ones and just in general. You know, it's funny how years ago, people like Hillary Clinton and uh um Kamala would be petrified to go on his show because the questions he asked were like so intrusive. They were like, you know, pushing envelopes, which is alright. And he doesn't do that as much, he's changed his style about that, which I'm fine with because how often can you, you know, talk about farts and dumps and you know, shit like that? Shit like that, you know, all that kind of crap. But you know, he does good in-depth interviews. I'll give him that. But you know, when you got Hillary Clinton in there, and you could literally really pry, like get into some dirt, which he would have probably done 10, 15, 20 years ago. He didn't talk about one word about Bill Clinton and his affairs, because look, unless she was like, I'm not coming on if you ask me those questions. Here's the thing, though, I think that dude would have asked a question even if he was told not to 20 years ago, and yeah, and I think you know, even if you're changed your style, you're not talking about you know all the nonsense and having strippers in there, you could still do, you know, push the envelope when it comes to interviews, because you do that, that makes everybody back into it. But when you alienate half your audience, and again, I understand to a point when you get when he's older, he's older now, and he's like, hey, I've made my I've made my dineros. Uh, even if I lose half my audience, I still have the core that like my new style, and it's really funny. I know people that wouldn't have dared admitted that they liked Howard Stern when he was on K-Rock, or even when he first went to Sirius, and now they're like posting like video excerpts of interviews he did, and I'm like, holy shit, either you are just really trying to say something like, you know, oh, I didn't know about how he was, or you're just transparent because you wouldn't have done that years ago, ever. So, you know, you got that side of the media, then you have like the other ones where you would think these adults were like you know, preteen girls. Talking about stuff on TV and you know online. There was like this thing that I guess I didn't I didn't really know about it, quite honestly, but thank God because then we'd have big bigger issues. But Taylor Swift, I guess, got married and it was at MSG. I'm sorry, like I know I'm talking about like current things and all that. I had not a fucking clue that was going on, and I'm so happy I didn't know. Because, you know, if I did know and had to really listen to this shit, I would have found, you know, one of the windows, the highest part of my house, jumped out of it, and saw how far I could bounce once I landed on the ground. But here's the thing. I know I'm gonna get shit for this because her fans are like mobs. They're like, you know, a swarm of locusts that are just annoying. These these people will attack you when you talk shit about her. First of all, who gives a shit about the fucking wedding of Taylor Swift and um well, what was his name? The the football player from Kansas City. I keep forgetting his name, but the thing is, this woman became popular because her father bought like three million albums to get her into the top one of the album charts on her first two albums. There it was so fake, but you know what it is nowadays. It's so easy to influence anybody that if you get that album as number one, the radio has to play it because it's number one. So they're gonna go, well, somebody must love this shit, so we gotta put it on. And then everybody goes, Oh my god, it's the greatest album ever, it's the greatest song ever, Taylor Swift. And I'm like, you do realize nobody bought this album. I would love to have known, really, when I would have loved to take the pulse of America when that first album hit number one, and like three, four million albums sold. I would, and everybody was claiming they were fans. I would go, let me see you have this album at home. I bet you nobody had it. That's what it's like now. All these musicians or rappers or whatever are popular, but nobody seems to own the music or have it downloaded or whatever. It's weird. But with the wedding, you know, this is the most fucked up thing, right? Fourth of July weekend, okay? So now you're having an MSG, so that means all the staff has to come in on a holiday weekend. You're so far up your ass that you would rather, and again, you know what I always say? I'm like, I've always had a you know, a bit I was always a fan of like JFK Jr. I liked his style, I thought he was cool, he was kind of this dude that would just cruise around New York and no entourage, nobody really, you know, no security, it was just him on his bike or whatever, right? And then, you know, when he got married, and the two of them would be out and about in New York, but their wedding, Carolyn Bissett and um JFK Jr., their wedding was on a little island off the North Carolina coast. Nobody was there, just the family, no pictures. There was like that one picture that when they were coming out of the church with candles. I know, I know about this, I know. Don't don't ask, but I thought that was cool because this guy was the most famous person out there, and no pictures are of the wedding. Then you have this other idiot in Taylor Swift who got Madison Square Garden. I really want to know are there really that many fans are out there of this person's, or are they just going along because everybody else says she's cool? Because if that's the case, there's a bunch of idiots. But my point being is she made the staff of MSG come in on a weekend. On a 4th of July weekend, no less. And, you know, to for in her little mind, her little I'm important as you know, and everybody's gonna say, you just are mad, she's made all that money. No, dude, I could give a shit how much money you have because I always say the more you can make the better. My point is, does anybody really give a shit? Right? Because as I realized this, because I was on like Instagram or TikTok and somebody posted or some shit, but then I was really kind of researching it and looking around, and there wasn't that much news about it. And I get it, nobody was inside of it, but at least outside, but like I think it's like this type of celebrity kind of oh my god, of like talentless twits are kind of dying, right? You don't see as much about, you know, the mother Kardashian who was everywhere 15 years ago. You don't see that much of like, you know, remember years ago how there and there maybe there's not those people anymore. Years ago, there was that crew, right? It was like Paris Hilton and uh Nicole uh Nicole um Richie and Lindsay Lohan, that like crew. You don't see that as much in like the LA nightclubs, you don't see that. I mean, probably like going out in LA now is like more dangerous because Bass has just turned it into a shit pot, but downtown LA, but uh you don't see that as much, and I think people are just bored with it, right? I think it's kind of like boring, and that's why I think this was as much as people will say I'm talking out of my ass, sometimes you see a death rattle, you see an end to something, and I think that's what sort of is going on right now. I think Taylor Swift, and again, she's made a shit ton of money, I get it, off of I'll be honest with you, if you can make that much money off of that just shit music, anybody can make it. You just gotta push. So I think that this was almost like her, like, I'm gonna go in because I gotta keep my face out into the public. Because in reality, it looked like not a lot of people gave a shit because I didn't see a lot of uh news on X, I didn't see a lot of stuff on TikTok or even just out and uh in public, I didn't see that much. So hopefully that's the end of these kind of talentless the world has gotten brainwashed into thinking she has talent. Like, again, if if you don't find that really ridiculous, and if you don't think you got duped when you find out that the father bought up a ton of albums to get her onto the charts, the first two albums, then I don't know, because the bands I like they had to really like struggle and get themselves out there for years living in shitty environments, and they are remembered. You know what I mean? They'll always be remembered, these bands. So, on that note, guys, I thank you so much for checking out the newest episode of the Cuddy Adventure. Hope you guys had some fun.
