Okay, a Hold on. Hold on Is my hair okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, why.
Speaker 1:Because I.
Speaker 2:We have the same hairstyle right now.
Speaker 1:I know and I wanted to tell you that you look like you're in Lord of the Rings. Oh, thank you yeah.
Speaker 2:I have to figure Like I think I'm going to do my hair in an intentional way like this for the AMAs.
Speaker 1:Like the slicked back look.
Speaker 2:No, a half up look. I know, but that part slicked back yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, okay, Just like a very intentional, this, like doing a very like girl in the early 2000s sprout. Yes, but then like straighten this into a flip. I like it and wear really little.
Speaker 1:And wear L-T-E-R-S.
Speaker 2:Classes? Yeah, probably, but I did get my outfit, so oh, you have to show them In anticipation for the the green light for the AMAs. I got an outfit and then we got the green light.
Speaker 1:So Well, let's do the intro and then you can tell me About the outfit. Oh right, realist. Welcome back to the alice podcast with alison and alex. I'm alison we did it is that what's supposed to happen?
Speaker 2:well, we, we've never we were able to like not get tongue-tied and say our own yeah so um explain your outfit to us as listeners, you know oh yeah, so it is this. It's a. The full fit is from zara, except my shoes are from and zara is made for tall people, so zara is the and for those that don't know, and I've said it on the pod before zara is the original fast fashion brand.
Speaker 2:They started fast fashion oh, I do remember you saying that they would go to fashion shows and then on the ship back to wherever czar is, I think germany zara zara, they would immediately start making those clothes on the ships so they just had some ladies and sewing machines yeah, I'm not really sure of the labor that probably wasn't great probably not, but the point is they were the first fast fashion brand, followed shortly thereafter by um, the legendary forever 21, rip.
Speaker 2:Uh, what year was that surely don't know okay but it is you know the decade um some decade okay I have no information.
Speaker 1:I'm not willing to look it up, it's okay okay it's, I learned it from a documentary, that's.
Speaker 2:That was like shitting on fast fashion.
Speaker 1:Oh, I think I remember you saying that.
Speaker 2:Hey, stanley, stop, love you so much. Um so the pants are a wide leg. Like you know, the material of Dickies, not really a dress pant, not not really a dress pant, not really a jean, yeah, it's that material wide leg but cinched waist, so a little high-waisted. Yeah, with this like pinstripe sheer black top. So as since I'm part of the press, we have to follow a dress code, so it's like dressy, but it's all it has to be black. So like I'm gonna do it then, and which is great for me, and for for me.
Speaker 2:So I'm going to wear that with little black Charlie XCX like little sunglasses.
Speaker 1:Oh cute, but on camera doesn't have to do that right.
Speaker 2:No, she does still have to like adhere to that. So we're going to talk. We have a meeting tomorrow. We're going to go over like what the what her fit's going to be Some like hot black dress or something.
Speaker 1:Because black dress or something, because she does, because you guys do so many red carpets like what does she do for? Does she buy something new every?
Speaker 2:time is she using newly? Like you know? No, and we're like I've been trying, I've been working she should use newly that well, we I think that it needs to be paid for by the studio because she is an on-camera person, but she can get six outfits a month yeah for the base price plus the whatever.
Speaker 1:So if she just has a rolling yeah thing monthly where she, because they have so many. That's what I've done for red carpets for us and for weddings and this they have gowns on there currently she is just like cycling through her own wardrobe.
Speaker 2:She's also she's six foot one.
Speaker 1:The company can handle a hundred bucks a month.
Speaker 2:This I know yeah.
Speaker 1:For that.
Speaker 2:For sure. So we'll see, but I do think, like we're going to, I'm going to help her figure out something for the AMAs Cause it's it's a pretty big deal that we got.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the invite, so yeah.
Speaker 2:Um, right, right now we're going through rigorous background checks the stuff I had to submit today, wow, yeah, but we are going to drive up. We actually got accommodations at the hotel where it's all, where the red carpet's being held. I don't think that the red car, that the, the emmys, the amas are actually there can you check? I want to say that they're at the t-mobile arena, or at least that's where they were when I went and watched them a few years back do you think it's part of the um?
Speaker 1:what's that new place that's so big in vegas that has?
Speaker 2:everything, something world resort world resorts world.
Speaker 1:Maybe it's a part of that. American music awards of 2025 is at the Fountain Blue, Las Vegas.
Speaker 2:What's the Fountain Blue?
Speaker 1:The Fountain Blue is a resort casino on the Strip oh, that's where I'm staying. Yeah, oh, I guess we'll be gone right when this comes out, the AMAs are today, Like right now.
Speaker 2:when you're listening to this episode, I am at the AMAs.
Speaker 3:Well.
Speaker 2:We should have done something about the AMAs today, in this episode, then. Well at the AMAs, well, we should have done something about the AMAs today in this episode, then, Well, we can do it. Fuck. Why didn't I think of that?
Speaker 1:Because I? I mean, I've heard you say you're going, but I knew nothing about them. We can look up what's going on and talk about it.
Speaker 2:So AMAs, just so everyone knows, is the only award show music award. The people choose the winners.
Speaker 1:Did you vote?
Speaker 2:No, but I I'm excited. I think that Joyce is. I mean, this is the longest red carpet we'll have ever done. So normally a red carpet, you guys, they're fast and they happen. They all are the exact same. So I don't know if this is interesting to anyone but here's how a red carpet happens.
Speaker 2:Definitely press check-in, which is what I'm part of. Press check-in happens one hour before the red carpet opens. You get your credentials, your spot on the red carpet is always assigned, so you know where you're going or where to go. You set up um, our setup is so minimal that, like we can usually get there closer to the actual open, yeah, but like ktla and entertainment tonight, they have like massive camera rigs, so like they're getting set up immediately. Um, you get your, you get everything set up when the carpet opens. If it's an influencer activation act, like if influencers are invited to the red carpet, it's funny because now that I've done so many you can, you'll know when you're there. It's like if the influencers are allowed on the carpet, then they everyone lines up. If they're not, there's always a designated area for them. So it's like which?
Speaker 3:I didn't know.
Speaker 2:Stay over here like they're not allowed, and when the carpet closes they're allowed on there to take photos okay but it's not. They're not being interviewed, they're not being like yeah none of the public, none of us, are talking to them.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I had like the Nova came from here, that was, there was 30 minutes of influencer red carpet, then it opened, got it. So they'll do that sometimes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think I've ever been to a red carpet that was for something like that. I mean when I've ever been to, it was like an influencer event or it was the streamies which was an input.
Speaker 2:Now, personally, I like the influencers coming, because our whole shtick in the show is to get viral content and you're going to get viral content from influencers and people know influencers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, celebrities are media trained. They're not going to say anything crazy.
Speaker 2:Correct. So like when we got to interview James Charles, like things like that do well.
Speaker 1:He's not doing well right now.
Speaker 2:Because people know about them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like that do well. He's not doing well right now because people know about them. Yeah, so anyway, the carpet opens, it is never more than an hour. It is like does it go over? Yes, absolutely always does, but it is.
Speaker 2:And then the way you know when a carpet is ending is you could be in the middle of an interview with a celebrity and their publicist is pulling them away for a group photo. Whenever the cast gets together for a group photo, you just look, all the journalists are going. Okay, we've got one more question, we've got one more. Everyone knows this is the wrap up, because the group photo happens. There's like five more minutes and then they haul them off to go to the screening or whatever it is. So we always are like I don't know, is the photographers gathering? Are they gathering to kind of see, gauge who we'll get to speak to? Still? And then, in very rare cases and I will give the example of Poker Face 2, poker Face Season 2 premiere Natasha Lyonne arrived very late, was only halfway down the line of maybe 40 of us and they did the group photo. They had to go start the premiere.
Speaker 2:Yeah and they did the group photo. They had to go start the premiere, yeah, and so we were like we really don't have a show unless we at least get a couple of the a-listers from the show, from the premiere. Um, her publicist came back, was like she wants to make sure and talk to each of you, so if you're willing to stay. She's going to intro the show inside and then she's going to come back out, so we did have to wait, like 30 more minutes, but she, she came back out and she talked with us and she was amazing and it was a really good experience.
Speaker 2:That's nice. Then, when the carpet ends, if influencers were not allowed on the carpet, they're hanging around like sharks to go get a photo on the carpet, while before the crew tears all the lights down, and then, yeah, then we would pack up and we leave because that photo to show that you are important in hollywood is so real like it is there.
Speaker 2:It's fun, I get it and like I've definitely taken photos for them, like, okay, hurry, come over here. Yeah, um, but it's a really fun experience and the reason I enjoy them is because it is so like clockwork. No matter where the premiere has been, like it is you ever you know what to expect. Process at every one of them so hollywood has it down and we're never there for more than three hours and it's just quick and painless and we're out of there.
Speaker 1:That is actually good to know what you're getting into every time and I have one this week before the amas.
Speaker 2:We're doing the big mouth that like adult cartoon on new flicks. It's the last season and we're doing that premiere.
Speaker 1:So anyway, the AMAs do you watch those kinds of things? No, Josh does.
Speaker 2:I don't really like it.
Speaker 1:I've watched it been over there. I think it is straight. It is straight and more geared, geared male. I'm sure there are women who watch them. There was, I think, he was watching Rick and Morty one time. I was over and I was like I do not get this, but I know it's like Big the thing with don't get it. The voice is so annoying to me.
Speaker 2:Big mouth is interesting too, because I was talking to Joyce Joyce's the on-camera personality, you guys. I was talking to Joyce about doing big mouth and she was on the fence for two reasons. One, she was maybe going to New York this week and ended up not. But also because she's like the show kind of freaks her out. She's like it's like children having their like first sexual experiences, so it feels-.
Speaker 1:That's what it's about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like. It's like kids going through puberty and there's a puberty monster and the puberty monster is a character. What?
Speaker 1:And it's like Wait, are they kids or is it just because they're like they're cartoons? No, no, they're children. They're not like, they're middle school.
Speaker 2:They're middle schoolers played by adults like maya, rudolph and a bunch of comedians yeah, but then I guess kids were having sex in middle school, yeah but it's like they're wet dreams and like girls getting their first period and it's like all yeah, I was like. You know that's a valid point. She's like it just feels weird to watch like little cartoon boys jerking off yeah I don't know none of those cartoons like I do not get it.
Speaker 1:I've never. I never understood family guy. I never understood the simpsons, like neither all of them also once I grew out of child like kid ones I I didn't get the adult humor cartoons you weren't like.
Speaker 2:now it's time for adults.
Speaker 1:No, I understand, I guess, liking a cartoon because it's nostalgic, but if it's adult subject matter. But it's just, it's like a boy thing, I think. It is a boy thing, but there's probably girls, so I'm not trying to offend you if you're a big fan.
Speaker 3:Sorry, girls, guys, it's just not for me or me.
Speaker 1:Well, probably girls. So I'm not trying to offend you. If you're a big fan guys, it's just not for me or me. Well, before we get into other things, what this is, this is monday. It's memorial day happy memorial day I hope you eat a lot of hot dogs isn't that fourth of july? I think it's any summer yeah, it's not holiday, but it's not summer's, in june well, there's another heat wave coming, great tomorrow.
Speaker 2:thank god my air conditioning is getting fixed. On wednesday thank god it's not Summer's in June. Well, there's another heat wave coming Great Tomorrow. Thank God my air conditioning is getting fixed. On Wednesday Thank God.
Speaker 1:God, it was hot today to me it was hot today, but officially I got. Well, I don't know if it's more my side, but I got a notification from AccuWeather today that was like heat wave, in effect from Tuesday to Thursday or something.
Speaker 3:Okay, shoot.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but Josh and I are beefing this week because the Pacers and the Knicks are in the finals. I knew it was going to be sports. I knew it. Or in the not finals, the Eastern Conference final.
Speaker 2:Of course, the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 1:And it whoever wins out of this series goes on to the NBA finals, the last, the championship series.
Speaker 2:Do you guys have a bet or anything going?
Speaker 1:We don't but.
Speaker 2:I feel like he would love that we might yeah. You should wager.
Speaker 1:We should. We probably will. Wednesday is the first game, so we'll see. But this is when we first started dating last year.
Speaker 2:Oh, this is what brought you together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they, it wasn't the con, it wasn't the conference finals, it was the semi-finals before it. But our like second date was to watch them play. The pacers ended up winning that series and it was pretty hard for him but he, the other day he was like I just realized I haven't been as insufferable as I like could be.
Speaker 2:Oh, so he's gonna.
Speaker 1:He was like you're probably gonna be like hate me before me before these finals are over. Joking, of course, but I was like Damn Okay Question Sports.
Speaker 2:So that's on Wednesday. But, so is Cornhole. So how are you going to watch?
Speaker 1:I know, so luckily, we play Cornhole at a bar. The game starts at five, though, and we play at seven.
Speaker 2:Oh, so you have to start it are you gonna get there early?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I need to ask like because we would have to, because our game is at seven and it's far away.
Speaker 2:We have to leave by like 6, 15 guys she's talking retroactively as well, by the way, this it is right now, monday yeah, we play on wednesday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that was last week. Time is kind of crazy, it's okay but and I won't be able to tell you in the next episode, but you'll find out at some point yeah. So we would have to leave to get there by like six 15. So we either have to miss half of the game or we have to go early to the bar, watch the game and then play cornhole.
Speaker 2:And yeah, bet on turtles.
Speaker 1:That's not those that's on thursday nights, oh, but yeah, are the turtles there just loose I've not seen a turtle, so I think no they live at a home I would hope so. Yeah, and you can't point at them yeah or yell at them. That's good. So they care. Good, I think I would like to go at some point. I'm just like not going to drive back down the next day. No, so it has to be a planned thing. Yeah, no, and you have your championship, well, your playoffs.
Speaker 1:First game of playoffs is oh yeah, you have two weeks.
Speaker 2:Yes, we have two weeks. We're playing for the third time, junos. You know I got confused On the last episode. I was listening back and I had said that you helped us beat Junos. No, you were there for our losing game against Markel and Hot to.
Speaker 1:Throw. Yeah, I thought that. And then I was like you know what, I'll take the positive memory and put it in.
Speaker 2:You were still helpful. We just didn't win, but no, so I imagine our final game is going to be against Hot to Throw to throw.
Speaker 1:I can't imagine, it's not well, you have a strategy that you need to implement as the coach yes, well, we whooped their asses at the glow throw so well we'll take some of that into the week can't wait to hear about it anyway, we'll see it. It would be nice I could possibly go, but we do leave the next morning, so it depends on how the way good am at packing.
Speaker 2:The way I thought about that today and how guys I was texting Allison trying to schedule when we were going to record all of this, and every almost every hour of every day up until we leave for Indiana is completely booked for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The only things I have control over right now are like how quickly Joyce and I haul ass out of Vegas and how I don't even know Like my mom being here isn't really like I'm not busy, but she's here so I have to.
Speaker 1:You're entertaining to an extent I think that you should. When you get back from Vegas, I think that you should just start packing.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent.
Speaker 1:Slowly so that you're not and like make a list that on wednesday you just have your last minute things the nice your toiletries. Yeah, the nice thing is it's the it's.
Speaker 2:The trip is to go to cedar point, so I know you're wearing athletic clothes, yeah and, like my mom, ordered matching shirts that, so I don't have to think about that love yeah, yeah and uh, hoping I can. I'm actually going to just try to fit everything in a backpack and a carry on.
Speaker 1:Exciting, which is very rare for me. I won't be doing that we're going to have to wait for a bag for me Cause I have shows to go to.
Speaker 2:It's because I'm flying back Delta, so I'd like to not just pay for a bag.
Speaker 3:So we'll see.
Speaker 1:I'm also flying back to Delta.
Speaker 2:Are you Weird, but you're flying two days before me. Oh, and I'm flying out of Fort Wayne, right, I made it convenient for myself.
Speaker 1:That's good.
Speaker 2:I was going to say something. Oh, this, the Wednesday that's coming up from us recording right now, not the Wednesday coming up from you guys listening. I will be. It's finally. My headshot session is here, finally.
Speaker 1:It's been so long, it's been 84 years.
Speaker 2:It's been 84 years, the one that this is the session that guys, that kept getting rescheduled because the fires and the photographer had to keep pushing it. It's finally here. I'm bummed because when I first picked this shoot, I set it for a Saturday at 1130 am, perfect time. Yeah, get up, you can have my coffee, de-puff my eyes and she, with all the rescheduling, the only thing she could fit me in is an 8 am.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:Session. So I have to get up at six just to like get myself a week. Thankfully, this is like there's going to. I have a hair person doing my hair, a person doing my makeup.
Speaker 1:So you can just get there.
Speaker 2:So I really just need to get there.
Speaker 1:You can de-puff your eyes while you're driving.
Speaker 2:And you know I'm gonna with those things that I told everyone about, that now everyone's buying and telling me that, yeah, they really work.
Speaker 1:Amazing. I have actually looked for them. I forgot who they were.
Speaker 2:Faded. The brand is Faded, faded and I got this, so I didn't know that they sold them at Ulta. Oh, and I was there with Megan when she was here and I got their lightening face cream and it's also freaking amazing.
Speaker 1:What does that mean?
Speaker 2:It's like a cream that lightens your dark circles.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you just put it on your under eye.
Speaker 2:I do, yeah, but it says you can put it all over. It's an even your skin tone. It's really nice. The eye patches are sold there, but they're also on Amazon Easy.
Speaker 1:Are they cheaper on Amazon?
Speaker 2:Yes, they are cheaper on Amazon.
Speaker 1:That's what we care about.
Speaker 2:Exactly. So, anyway, they're amazing and I'm gonna wear some of those. I'm gonna show up to the shoot with them on. So I'm excited. I am also excited because this is this person, this particular photographer, who I chose with because of all of these reasons hair makeup stylist. That's the big one. Like they don't want you, she doesn't want you to come with. Like this is my outfit, this is my other outfit she wants you to just bring a ton of options that's fun hang them all up, and then she and the stylist put it together they're like this is you.
Speaker 2:You should do a photo in this look. So I'm getting, I'm doing four looks how much are you taking? I'm I got I'm just gonna take like three garment bags worth, so like mostly basics, because I did that headshot session last month so I got the like everyday look with that like blue denim.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I know for sure I'm going to tell her like, because of my hair length and tattoos, I want one that makes me look a little grungier, like I want to be able to like submit myself for.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:To be a villain, villain pothead, I don't know, you know what I mean. Just like rough around. I don't know. You know what I mean, just like rough around the edges.
Speaker 3:What else is?
Speaker 2:there.
Speaker 1:A vampire.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like fairy smut stuff, you know, hell, yeah, so there's that. Then I definitely want to get one that's a little more like. I don't need a business casual look, because I just don't see myself booking that kind of stuff. And if I need a picture in like a fucking polo, I'll bring.
Speaker 2:If she's like let's do it, great, but I just feel like that's a waste of a look with her and I can just do that with like one of you can just take my photo against a white wall and a polo, sure can, but with her I'm like let me get the fun ones, but I do want to get one. I was really thinking about this and I was like I'm 35. It's okay if I do a look that could sell booked in a commercial what?
Speaker 1:kind of dad. Do you see yourself as?
Speaker 2:I feel like it's like a white t-shirt with like a denim button up and the sleeves rolled up to my elbow and my hair is probably like just back in a ponytail.
Speaker 1:What car are you driving? A Subaru.
Speaker 2:Yeah, subaru for sure. Yeah, and I would love to book Subaru commercial and you're in like a remote small town sure yeah I don't know you may be the point is I want to book a commercial as a dad it's giving like um.
Speaker 1:What's her name movie nancy myers nancy myers lifetime, like you're exactly.
Speaker 2:I want to book a hallmark christmas movie yeah so that those are the two I'm for sure I want to be like. I definitely want to get a look that makes me like you could sell me as a dad.
Speaker 1:Exactly that vibe. I feel like that's what you say.
Speaker 2:I want to be booked in a Hallmark or Lifetime or Nancy Meyers film. Dad, or like young heartthrob that owns the bakery.
Speaker 1:Love. You know, we should write it what I've never written anything in my life.
Speaker 2:Well, you're inspired. So that's, that's how I've come in. I've been just literally like I can't Every minute. My schedule is crazy, you guys, but I'm excited about all the everything's good. You know, it's not like nothing's bad, it's just a lot.
Speaker 1:You're not boring me.
Speaker 2:Okay, you passed it to me there's a spider when, just kidding, just keeping you awake. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Go ahead. I have now watched the next Star Wars. I watched episode four. Okay, what did you think?
Speaker 2:Kind of. I watched episode four. Okay, what did you think? Kind of sad. Oh, four, four, four, four, four. Empire Strikes Back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what were you thinking?
Speaker 2:I was in my head. One, two and three were the originals, but no.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:You mean literally four.
Speaker 1:This is the first one that came out in like 1977. Harrison Ford oh that vibe.
Speaker 3:New.
Speaker 1:Hope. My, yes, my gripe is that because I'm watching it in chronological order, which I'm not upset about so far, oh my gosh, I just had a. It felt like Raven-Symoné. I felt like I had a vision Of what, but I don't know. My eyes, just like I feel like my right eye is like bigger right now than my left eye, not true? Whoa, okay, that was crazy. So from episode three to episode four, there's 19 years have passed, correct. Episode four there's 19 years have passed. Correct. Ewan mcgregor, aka obi-wan kenobi in episode three, he's supposed to be like mid-30s yeah, they aged him a lot it's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in episode four that man is elderly. Yes, he. I looked up his age, he was like 73 okay no 63 okay he looked 73 to me okay, yeah he's supposed to be like 54 mid-50s so it goes from mid-30s to mid-50s and he was 63. And I just am wondering you guys it was a shock when I saw him why didn't they dye his hair and beard at least to be not as gray, like that man is a grandfather.
Speaker 2:I don't think George Lucas at the time was thinking about oh, episode three, we're going to have an actor.
Speaker 1:Why didn't they make him older? Yeah, why didn't they make him be in his forties and cause they? I saw when I was looking it up I saw like his age doesn't affect his body Like we. I think it should because he's a Jedi, like he could still be nimble at his age. So why not make him in his forties? Because you already know what they did in the seventies and you know how old that man looked.
Speaker 2:I think, yeah, they could have. You're right, they could have. But because he was um, because he was the apprentice to Qui-Gon Jinn, liam Neeson yeah, because he was his apprentice. They needed him to be very young in the first one.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But then the time between one, two and three. I'm sure it was considered when they went to go put together one, two and three. But you are right, it is drastic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Obviously hindsight is 20-20 with the 70s because they didn't have the foresight to be so truly yes, they should have just made ewan be a little bit more graying yes so that it wasn't such a shock and also yoda.
Speaker 2:Same thing they make him very old and crotchety in the so I haven't seen him yet.
Speaker 1:I know he's still alive. Got it based on what happened in that the end of episode three, because based from spoiler alert, i'm'm just kidding when Anakin becomes Darth.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And all the Jedis basically get killed.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Obi, chewbacca and Yoda live, but they all disperse.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:Right, chewbacca. Am I thinking of someone else? I thought Chewbacca was in episode three. Am I wrong? Okay, there's another. I thought there was another, jar Jar. No, he dies. Oh right, anyway, at least those two. We know they live, but we know that they go their separate ways. When the bait, when the kids get separated, they also go so they don't get killed. Yes, so where was I going with that? That you know that yoda's alive oh, I know he's alive, but I haven't seen him yet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay so yeah, I think it's also like where are you guys watching these on disney plus? Yeah okay, so they will be the fixed version. So, like the actor that plays darth vader, there's like shots of him later on without the mask on.
Speaker 1:It's obviously not hayden christensen, but when they remade them, they cgi cgi hayden christensen I like that, which is I feel bad for that guy, but sorry yeah, he's in the ogs, it's fine yeah, another thing if, if we're watching the remastered, which I guess we are, if it's on disney, the music is way too loud oh like their speaking is so hard for me to hear over the music oh damn, I was like what's happening if you remastered. This wasn't that the point right what but, sorry about that it's okay.
Speaker 1:I enjoyed, like I knew what I was getting myself into with the you know, graphics and stuff, and for the time it was really good. Yeah, cgi.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent.
Speaker 1:So I lied to Josh when I told him that the rocks in Santa Clarita were the ones in Star Trek not. Star.
Speaker 2:Wars, yeah, star Trek.
Speaker 1:I looked it up cause I was like oh, we should go there. And then I looked it up and it says Star Trek. So, I always used to say but anyway, that's where I am in my journey everyone.
Speaker 2:I hope that you're kind of inspiring me to start.
Speaker 1:Cause you haven't watched them either. No, you have. What do you mean?
Speaker 2:Of course I have. It's just been years. You just want to watch them again. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, you should.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, it's that, or Lord of the Rings, and it always ends up winning. Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 1:Well, you watch it. Have you already watched it this year? Yeah, okay, so watch Star Wars and you'll watch it again.
Speaker 2:No, I haven't. Why I feel like an imposter, what I don't know. I should now, now that I have long hair? Yeah, should be legless, but I'll get extensions.
Speaker 1:He's blonde, though, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I could get. Oh, you're right, no, there's other elves that aren't blonde, so I could just be an elf from Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what do?
Speaker 2:they wear oh Over like really sexy linen clothing, sexy yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh Lord, okay, Well, I would like to see you do that. Okay, or you could be, I could be, Aragorn.
Speaker 2:Brunette.
Speaker 1:Who's that?
Speaker 2:Aragorn the king.
Speaker 3:Who's the?
Speaker 1:actor.
Speaker 2:Viggo Mortensen.
Speaker 1:I don't know that man move on okay um, okay, so this is I guess a week old now, but I can still give you some diddy updates, some diddy trial updates. Okay, great, so dawn from danity kane this week she was on the stand.
Speaker 1:She, I think she started on friday I missed that, um, but it was very short and then she was on today and she's already done, like they just needed a little bit from her. But she talked about how she had witnessed the abuse on cassie. She tried to speak up oh, she tried to speak up like when it was happening and Diddy told her to stay out of their business, basically and he said that quote. He said that she was okay and that it would be in our best interest if we didn't say anything. He was trying to take us to the top and where he comes from, people go missing if they say things like that, if people talk, and then, like she said, like she took that as a threat, like I would go missing, like what, yeah and then that was kind of it like just that, like what she witnessed.
Speaker 1:She said yes, then, um, cassie's former bestie, carrie morgan, was on the stand and she said she also witnessed abuse and would tell Cassie to leave, but Cassie would say she couldn't.
Speaker 1:And then this is the one that Diddy assaulted. At one point, um, I think maybe because she tried to step in, there was something I'm this is not a direct quote or anything, because I'm not remembering exactly but in Cassie's testimony I think she said that there was a time where she was with this friend and he did something to Cassie and the friend tried to stop him. And then she in turn got assaulted in that scuffle and she said that Cassie offered for Diddy to pay her thirty thousand dollars because she threatened to file a lawsuit on the assault, and so she got paid thirty thousand dollars from it. And then, but when cassie and her met up to like talk about it, cassie was like defending him and she said cassie told her she was milking it and overreacting, and then the two of them never like spoke again, shit. So I mean classic abuse, like stage of abuse, where it's like you are kind of in denial and people that try to help you. Like you push them away because you're not. You know you can't face it.
Speaker 2:So that's kind of what happened do you know if aubrey was subpoenaed?
Speaker 1:yeah, she's subpoenaed I don't know, because people keep making tiktoks being like aubrey. When she walks into the courtroom and it's like this is for my ladies and she's like walking with like big there people are like dressing up as her and walking in with big sunglasses. I'm not sure if she's going to be on it. I don't know how many people they really need.
Speaker 1:I guess maybe the volume if they have a lot of people corroborating it, then I'm sure she could, but I don't know exactly if she was or not. I guess we will find out. We certainly will Um, but yeah, that was what I got right now. Let us know if you guys actually like hearing about the updates.
Speaker 2:Heather said she did.
Speaker 1:Some people I know are not. It's not like in their zeitgeist. They know that he's on trial but they're not checking in and therefore getting all this content about it, like I am. Or if you're interested in it, um, you might just be like, oh, I wonder what is happening.
Speaker 3:So if you like it, there you go at its at its finest oh, did you see?
Speaker 1:this is so good for both of us that hillary duff is coming back to music.
Speaker 2:Yes, of course music. Yes, I hope it's real. Her husband teased it and he does her music if he does other people's music too yeah, but I mean like it's not like just a husband being like, yes, it's gonna do music again, he's a producer. So yeah he must have some more insight than just like we were at dinner and she said, yeah, I'll do music yeah, I just was like I hope that they weren't like just teasing us for fun.
Speaker 1:They wouldn't.
Speaker 2:Every interview she talks about, like I listen.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It was from two years ago, the one with Josh Peck.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But she was so clearly like I'm a mom, like I don't want to do that, I don't want to think about putting all of the work into that. I don't even think she'd joke about it, because she was so very like no, it's just not happening, right now yeah. So to be like, okay, I'm talking about, I'm talking about again, Her kids are. Her daughter must be like at least five or six now.
Speaker 1:So yeah, what kind of music do you think she would make?
Speaker 2:If I think she's going to make the same the same.
Speaker 1:Sparks fly is one of the best albums of all time and no one can tell me otherwise it's just like she has one of the most iconic songs ever created come clean, come clean, yeah, and like you can't top that.
Speaker 2:No, why not? Is also great like she has some freaking bangers yeah, well, also wake up sorry, there's someone's vacuuming, so while they're vacuuming, I will Keep talking. Recite the words. There was something about listening to Wake Up.
Speaker 3:I put my makeup on a Saturday night. Try to make it up and try to make it all right, it would just be like yeah.
Speaker 1:Incredible.
Speaker 3:Wake up. Wake up on a Saturday night. Also her song from santa claus too. I remember last christmas eve. What do you mean?
Speaker 2:I just don't like that movie oh you're a purist, you like the og yeah, I don't think it's as good santa claus 2 is good, santa claus 3 is that's abysmal, but still the santa Claus two I'm not like interested in.
Speaker 3:Okay, down Santa Claus lane.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a song. Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2:Thank you.
Speaker 1:The movie's bad, I just don't watch it because I don't care, so it's not in my ear every year, that song.
Speaker 2:T, t, v H.
Speaker 1:We probably won't be able to hear this in the mics. We won't. No, I don't think so. Well, speaking of also coming back coming back to music, yeah, always. Do you know who I'm going to talk about? Who's in the news right now? Today, fucking perry no, but I saw a clip of her sprinting on her stage crazy and then her bra comes undone. And she's's just like my bra came undone. Hope my boobs don't fall out.
Speaker 2:She is the epitome of a cartoon.
Speaker 1:And then she just keeps performing Like I get it. And then, um, someone commented they were like she does not have a single song where she needs to be acting like this. Hilarious. She was sprinting.
Speaker 2:It was crazy how fast she was running. But no, who are you talking about?
Speaker 1:I'm talking about jessica simpson. Jessica simps why she made a comeback performance on american idol. What is she? A judge? No, okay, carry underwear, is that's funny? Um she, yeah, she performed two songs with some kid, so I don't know like was it a make-a-wish where they get to like pick a celebrity to sing with. So I don't know, was it a make a wish where they get to pick a celebrity to sing?
Speaker 3:with yeah, probably I don't know.
Speaker 1:She sang something I don't know. And then these boots were made for walking, but people are dragging her.
Speaker 2:Probably because she can't sing yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's what I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 2:Okay, so I read her book.
Speaker 1:Yes, I did, and I love her book.
Speaker 2:First, yes, I didn't. I love her book. First of all, we need to give her props because she is a multi-billionaire.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Because of her shoe and hair extension and then clothing business.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:She's a mogul, she is a tycoon. Now, if you listen, I'm sorry, I need to clarify with everyone that I listened to her book.
Speaker 1:To me, you can say that I don't care how it gets in your brain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I. Jessica Simpson, I think, is one of those classic singers who was so talented and so good at singing, had no one to help preserve her voice, like she wasn't singing properly.
Speaker 1:That's what I wanted to ask. Is it that her voice is damaged?
Speaker 2:Correct, yes, she or her throat, whatever yeah. She, she was. If you go back and watch performances pre um her debut album, it's like mind blowing the notes that she can hit to the point where, like at one point, she was hospitalized for something and Celine Dion called her to be like you're an insane singer, you're going to be huge and she held on to that through like the intuition album and then it started to like leave by with you.
Speaker 2:Like with you was still a banger with which was a re-release that album was a flop. And then she then ash Ashley's album outsold every Jessica album ever made. So she did a re-release and added with you to it and that went platinum. Yeah, ashley fucking crushed. It Crushed her sister's stats, but anyway, yes. So when you're a singer that's just belting everything and you don't have a proper coach to teach you how to take care of that, you're going to end up with nodes.
Speaker 1:How do you, how does she not get one Like? I'm just confused.
Speaker 2:Same with Brittany, though, like Brittany, used to also be able to sing and then lost it. I mean she could sing.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then she just couldn't, because that wasn't what they were known.
Speaker 1:Like that wasn't the point of their performances. They weren't there to be, but they're. It's just crazy to me that at a music studio, like whatever record company there's, not just like someone whose sole job it is is to match vocal coaches with their talent I do believe they probably had vocal coaches.
Speaker 2:I just don't think they took vocal health as seriously in the 90s and 2000s as they do now like people like ariana grande have really advocated for it, pink has really advocated for it, uh, lady gaga. But then there's like kelly clarkson, even insane vocalist. She has had vocal nodule surgery twice yeah because, coming out of american island, she was a kid. She didn't, wasn't. She literally was like a texas girl working at a movie theater and then was famous all of a sudden because she could belt and no one was like great.
Speaker 2:here's how you properly belt.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So then she of course, and same with Adele.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I think that, unfortunately, jessica Simpson is a victim of vocal damage in a way that is probably irreversible, except let's take it back to 2017, when Christina was in an era where she couldn't sing.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And.
Speaker 2:I was like never thought I'd see the day where Christina can't sing. And then she did the work and now her voice is back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you were just telling me, brian from the Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 2:Brian from the Backstreet Boys Is going through it too, but he's just singing through it.
Speaker 1:If I help me out help me out well, yeah, she's getting dragged and it sucks that is all I had to say, but I didn't know if you had seen the I didn't, so you're gonna have to go. I'm gonna go check that out yeah, she's also kind of dancing weird that tracks okay, I can't.
Speaker 1:I was like I can't remember really seeing just like a live performance of her, like obviously her music or I don't know. I don't remember her just like standing and singing. So I was like does she always move like this? Like does she do like a weird, like body?
Speaker 2:oh yeah, is that what she was doing? Yes, okay, she always does the little like hip things and like yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, well, glad to know she's still got that going.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't wait. I do love public affair. Though that song, do you remember that one?
Speaker 1:so fun yes, I have a bone to pick with lady gaga, since you said that okay okay, I know that this is not something I should be complaining about, because artists should have creative power over their music okay and they should. They get the money, money get the bag that they deserve that. They deserve, yeah, but Lady Gaga is causing me to get everything I post with any of her music in it, taken down.
Speaker 2:Why are you posting with her music?
Speaker 1:Well, because I'm dancing to it.
Speaker 2:Fitness, marshall stuff too.
Speaker 1:Well, she's not a Sony artist, but they have.
Speaker 2:Her music is flagged on every social media platform and it gets muted it gets demonetized, it gets is the fitness, is your videos as you guys dance to her we dance to her, but are those?
Speaker 1:getting flagged I don't think in the live stream it's getting flagged okay. But if I could make a cut down any amount of time, like I just posted one that was just like a basically the whole sweat session, I just picked random like funny parts and it's all together. So the whole video that's like a minute long has just a bunch of little clips of songs in it. So it wasn't even the whole minute clip and it got on YouTube. It was like no, no views, music on gone, everything.
Speaker 2:So that is a bit annoying.
Speaker 1:I will agree with you and YouTube is the one that does like music sharing yeah so I was like I can, I guess I can see on TikTok, but I don't know that's annoying. So it's like annoying that I can't make money yeah no, I know that I'm not supposed to like care, that I care about that, but we're both trying to, you know make some money here yeah, stephanie come on stephanie germanotta germanotta.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I got some pop culture hot takes because I thought if I just asked you on the spot, like I think that we wouldn't really be able to really think about it. Yeah, so I got some other ones. Maybe it'll spark or maybe we just talk about these. Okay, so this is a buzzfeed article hey, have you guys heard of?
Speaker 1:buzzfeed. Okay, I'm just gonna go through and read some that we think could be interesting. This one says live action adaptations of pretty much anything get on my nerves. Most of the disney remakes are just cash grabs, rehashing the same story for nostalgia points. I also don't get any uh, people who get worked up when they make any changes, because at least it is some new content that makes it not a carbon copy. The picture here is of beauty and the beast with Emma Watson.
Speaker 2:That is the one that popped in my head when as a cash grab.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I, I am very. Yeah, I know we don't agree because I think that her acting was fine, of course.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's an incredible actress.
Speaker 1:She couldn't sing, so like I get it, she shouldn't have been cast. But like the movie isn't ruined, for me it's just like the singing is like oh, but then in the other scenes I'm like oh, she's good is there a date on when this was made?
Speaker 2:this person's it is older um oh no, last year okay, that's interesting because in my, because I think, like the counter, the, or not interesting, I guess, I think to back them up is like now we have Wicked right, true A perfectly executed I would. Honestly, I love Wicked. The movie might be better than the musical.
Speaker 1:Interesting Because you get more time.
Speaker 2:You get more story development and you still get the songs that you fucking love.
Speaker 1:I don't think I agree. But I don't. I think it's just because I've had so much time with the musical and I've seen it so many times.
Speaker 2:I guess, too, we're diverting to Wicked, and this is where I'm getting at though, but I will say like so. Broadway typically does a movie for a musical when it's starting to suffer on Broadway.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That is the formula, that's what they did with Rent. That's what they have done with historically. That is why they do it.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Wicked was not hurting. This was the first time they were like no, this needs to be made into a production.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So that, in my opinion, is an example of a film where it wasn't a cash grab. Maybe Initially I thought it was because they split it into two, yeah, but then after seeing it I was like, oh yeah, like imagine sitting here for two more hours, or the movie having just been three hours, and we would have missed all this inner story that was happening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess I need to see part two and if I love it then I'll be like yeah, but as of right now, after the first one, still I'm kind of like I feel like we could have still been one, but that's also because I've only seen it the one time.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I would. I will give you that it is a little bit of a cash grab. You feel it's like when they split the last twilight movie into two and the last harry potter into two like they do that why? Because it's they know they can get double the money by splitting it up, but it took no more time to film it yeah so I kind of agree with this person for a little like, the production of beauty and the beast was good, but yeah, it's like if you're gonna do it, yeah, what do you think is the?
Speaker 2:best one of like a disney yeah, taking wicked out like a princess movie interesting, interesting I also need to think you know what cinderella was really good which one the one that came out in like with what's?
Speaker 1:what's his name from a game of thrones, rob stark. He's the prince, I'm pretty sure my brain is blanking rob stark, rob stark oh, yes, yes, yes yes, I thought that one was pretty good I actually don't really think I saw it or remember it. I really like aladdin yeah I hated aladdin.
Speaker 2:Like I was obsessed with the cartoon as a child, I could not finish the live action never.
Speaker 1:I like it, never finished it.
Speaker 2:Because you loved the choreo.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The dancing, was it for you?
Speaker 1:I refuse to watch Snow White with what's Her Face? Oh God, rachel Zegler, I can't do it.
Speaker 2:I also don't think I can do it I really can't do it.
Speaker 1:You know, what I want them to do is I want I would be so interested in Tangled.
Speaker 2:I would also be interested.
Speaker 1:I think that'd be so fun because I love Tangled.
Speaker 2:I also think like people have taken wax at it, but it would be nice to see a Peter Pan that was like yeah done in the way of Peter Pan the cartoon, because every adaptation is so different have we talked about this?
Speaker 1:the what we think the best televised live musical has been.
Speaker 2:I don't know if we've talked about the best, but did you like peter pan?
Speaker 1:yeah, it's just. It's honestly, that's a hot take. It's not my favorite disney movie no like I know. It gives us peter pan, it gives us tinkerbell, it gives us captain hook or whatever circling back real quick.
Speaker 2:Did this person say movie, musical or?
Speaker 1:just like a live action adaptation.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, okay. So I guess I was thinking more musical, because I think that live action adaptations some of them are incredible, like Cruella was so good.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Now that was again like a diversion from the original story.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But, like the 101 Dalmatians, live action was so cute.
Speaker 1:I do think so. To this person's point too. They said they don't mind when the story is changed and they don't understand why people get so mad, so for cruella or something yeah I do agree it was nice to have a change or a new story whatever I think if they had changed wicked, that would have been blasphemous, that would have been crazy okay, 100, so so. It depends, I guess. But I don't know if they had changed Beauty and the Beast.
Speaker 1:really, they did a few things Like they changed the way the Beast looks and like the beginning storyline was different, I think, how he became.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 1:There was something that was different, or they added a song. They added a song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they did add a song.
Speaker 1:It wasn't different enough though, so I didn't care. But I don't know To my question, what was the best. If you guys don't, I guess you would. You probably know this right, but if you're not from america, we back in the day there always used to be live like performances, you know, like in the 50s or whatever. It would always be like a. Everyone would sit down at 8 pm on a mond Monday night and there would be like a like the. Lawrence show or Lawrence Welk. Like there would always be a a performance type.
Speaker 2:American bandstand was a big one.
Speaker 1:And everyone would sit down to watch it. And that went away and then streaming started or whatever. And then, I don't know probably like what, 10 years ago, they decided to bring back a live thing like that, where everyone it was like a time for everyone to be like, okay, the live action grease is happening at 8 pm on this day, and you had to sit down and watch it at that time because it was a one night only thing and I thought that it was so great, yeah why did they stop?
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's that expensive, definitely coveted the last one they did was hairspray who was in oh? Is that the last one? Yeah, that was the last one loved it.
Speaker 1:I like that was so good. I liked rent. I loved sound of music yes, I thought grease was really good. I didn't care for peter pan it was.
Speaker 2:I think allison did a good job, yeah, but yeah, I didn't care for Peter Pan. It was, I think.
Speaker 1:Alison did a good job, yeah, but yeah, I didn't care Again, it's just like not my favorite thing, but I want them to bring it back. And what should they do?
Speaker 2:Wicked, that would be tricky.
Speaker 1:That'd be crazy.
Speaker 2:I mean it would be cool to have like in the Heights or something. That would be a fun one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it would be cool to have like in the Heights or something that would be a fun one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hamilton, yeah Hamilton.
Speaker 1:What I liked about Greece is that the beginning of it um, it was your girl.
Speaker 2:Carly Rae.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Well, yes.
Speaker 1:Who sang the opening credit?
Speaker 2:Oh, jesse, j, Jesse.
Speaker 1:J, and it was they showed us. The back lot Was that universal and it was.
Speaker 1:They showed us the back lot was that universal? That was universal, yeah, and they she they had her like on a golf cart and walking all throughout the sound stages. It was a long song and you so you got to see like so much backstage stuff and producers running around and everything, because it's such a moving like everything is moving the whole time and there's different sets and people have to change costumes and it's like you're on one stage doing, uh, this scene and then you have to be golf carted over to another stage and you have to change like. It was so interesting to see the um, yes, background of it, so I really liked that like that really stuck with me.
Speaker 2:Carly ray is in that and they gave her her own song Um Vanessa Ann Hudgens. And she was in in.
Speaker 1:Rent too. Yeah, she was in both.
Speaker 2:Why Would they? Whatever it's okay, I don't know because.
Speaker 1:High School Musical, I just anyway. So that was one hot take, let's do another one. La La Land was beautiful, but not a very good movie.
Speaker 2:I've never seen it, I've never seen it.
Speaker 1:That is crazy.
Speaker 2:Hot take. It's not on my list.
Speaker 1:I don't know Like what makes you not want to see it?
Speaker 2:So I'm not. I wasn't actively like ew, la La Land it was. It came out in a time when I was like doing stuff I don't know, and then it was like when did it come out? Same year as Moonlight oh.
Speaker 1:Moonlight. Oh, cause that, cause the Oscars.
Speaker 2:Um, I don't know, but yeah, just like didn't. It wasn't a movie I saw in theaters, Then by the time it came out, I don't know. I just like you know when that it's like you, do you ever have like a natural but we, a weird aversion to something that's so pop, cultural, relevant, and then you feel overwhelmed about it? That was what that was for me, and then it just passed.
Speaker 1:That's how I felt about Black Mirror before, oh okay. I did feel that way about this season of Handmaid's Tale, but I made myself watch the first episode but did you finish it. The first episode. No, not the whole season.
Speaker 2:Just the first episode. It's the final one, right?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Are you going to finish it?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:When you let me know if it has a really good ending, then I will decide if I want to go back in.
Speaker 1:Okay, Okay, La La Land to me. I do love it, but it's one of those movies. I don't want to spoil it for you. Are you ever going to, if you?
Speaker 2:watch it, I don't care, go ahead.
Speaker 1:The ending is not. It's one of those movies that it's. It's a little too real.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:It's too real life, okay, and it doesn't have like for it being a movie about Hollywood. It doesn't have a Hollywood ending. It has like a real life ending and it's not for me it wasn't the payoff that I wanted. Okay, in like a love story musical, you know.
Speaker 3:I get that.
Speaker 1:But I think Mia Michaels choreographed it.
Speaker 3:Oh, was she the choreographer.
Speaker 1:I don't know, were you here or did you live somewhere where you were affected by the opening car scene when they shut down? I think it was probably the 101.
Speaker 2:I mean, I was living here, but I don't remember.
Speaker 1:The opening scene have you seen that?
Speaker 2:That I have seen. Yes, they had to shut down the 101 for days and how mad were people I know actually that would be interesting to look up. Yeah, because that would that?
Speaker 1:it's insane yeah, but I think that they both do a good job. I think that the choreography is really good. The music is good. It just like. I don't want to watch it. It's like that movie, the breakup with vince bond and jenny. Yeah, I don't want to watch that like it's yeah it's not a good ending, right?

Speaker 1:Right, I've never had them, but tell us about them.
Speaker 2:Guys, listen I went to this restaurant called Ieri, and you're not supposed to eat oysters right now, but these were barbecued oysters.
Speaker 1:That keeps being told to me.
Speaker 2:But these are barbecued oysters, so they're like cooked, so it's fine. When you explained them before before I didn't get that right, so they're served to you on like a bed of of wood chips that are on fire and it smells like you're camping and it was but they're not deep fried sensory experience. Now they're still in their shells. They're just like cooked on the shell is it hard?
Speaker 2:because normally oysters you just kind of like slurp it back and swallow it yeah, this used a little fork, okay, and it had, like, uh, charred breadcrumbs on top. Yum, and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life and it wasn't even that expensive for three, or for three oysters it was 28, now that I said that is expensive, that's insane.
Speaker 1:The oysters that made gave me Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2:Two orders were $28. That's better.
Speaker 1:So it was 14.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for three, that's what it was.
Speaker 1:Yes. So what is that's a prime number, you know so.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I want you guys to know barbecue oysters are on my list of the week, so good. I mean I love oysters period, of oysters period, like 450 a piece.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I feel like I wish 425. I don't know, I would pay that and I did. I think that, yeah, I don't know, I would try it, but I'm scared. I I did have oysters recently, I did. I say this you did yeah, and I didn't get sick, yes, so I think I think these are safer.
Speaker 2:I mean, we straight up asked the guy our oyster safe he's like. First of all, we get ours from british columbia. It's not affected by this virus, but also or the bacteria, but also these are barbecued so like they're yeah, all right.

That was the best thing I've ever been to.
Speaker 2:And your favorite trip you've ever been on.
Speaker 1:Right, that was my. The best part of it was the Japanese garden, and then I forgot about it. And then the other day I needed to make content and I was just going to go to that outdoor area just to have lots of space outside, to not be bothered by people, and to make content. And then I was driving by it and I was, oh my God.
Speaker 2:What's going on, though? Do you have a tickle?
Speaker 1:was oh my god, what's going on, though? Do you have a tickle? Oh, okay, I was driving and I saw it on the map again and I was like, oh, I should go over there. Um, and it was free which was nice.

Anyway, I enjoyed being there Highly recommend.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:Highly recommend for content and for vibes Like photos, and just for a nice time. You can't take food or drink in there, which does suck.

Speaker 3:Oh, I'll have to go back to that I told you I was a good dancer.
Speaker 2:Interesting. I was just reading about Devin Sawa yesterday. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:What's he doing? Is he on Cameo?
Speaker 2:Probably no. I was reading about the lore of Final Destination, how it came to be, because the new one's out.
Speaker 1:Is he in it?
Speaker 2:Well, no, he dies Forgot.
Speaker 1:I thought you were going to say he died. In real life I was like, oh my God His character Alex dies in the second movie.
Speaker 2:Right, but how Final Destination came to be is actually very fascinating.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:You want the quick version? Yeah, so the person that created Final Destination watched um, was like a horror movie fan and wanted to work in horror films so badly so he he got an internship at Lionsgate and then he was traveling home to visit his mom and at the if you don't remember the first final destination, it's an airplane crash.
Speaker 1:It's coming back to me.
Speaker 2:So he is. He was writing a one page like story and he had this idea of like what if, uh, there was a girl getting onto a plane and her mother called and she was like I don't know why, but don't get on this plane. And then the girl gets off the plane and changes her flight and that plane she got off of crashes, so she's cheated death.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then he pitched it as an episode for X-Files, because at the time he was entering. That was happening and then his coworkers were like no, this is like, you need to finish this out and this needs to be a film. So he finished it and it was originally written for, as it was, a group of adults and the story very similar to what it actually ended up being. But with the recent success of I Know what you Did Last Summer Scream, the production company was like no, we need to be teens.
Speaker 1:That was smart, yeah, yeah and thus was born I do want to re-watch I haven't seen all of them to tvh they had made so much money, I stopped caring but they're.
Speaker 2:They make so much money like this, yes, like that's why the franchise just keeps going, but this is the final destination the final, final, final. Well, the last one, the fifth one was the final destination and this one is final destination bloodlines. This is, I guess, how we find out why everything everyone's been cursed with.
Speaker 1:Yeah. If you cheat, jet death, it finds you, I would like to watch them but, like I'm not, it's a lot of time and I'm already watching the Star Wars.
Speaker 2:Final Destination 2 fucked me up.
Speaker 3:Is that the?
Speaker 2:tanning bed. No, that's three. Final Destination 2 fucked me up. I watched it too young, Is that?
Speaker 1:the one with the logs. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2:Josh and I just talked about that because we saw one on the road and we were like nope, it was the first time I saw naked breasts too.
Speaker 1:Were you excited?
Speaker 2:Oh well, no, I was. I thought I was going to get in trouble. I thought somehow my parents would know that I saw breasts.
Speaker 1:They didn't.
Speaker 2:They didn't. My last station three is pretty good. That's the rollercoaster one and that didn't, and that's the tanning bed I was older Speaking of rollercoasters.
Speaker 1:I just saw the them testing the one sirens curse.
Speaker 2:Let's not talk about it. I'm getting into that one on the next episode okay, okay.
Speaker 1:Well, the last thing that premiered on this day is the song are you that somebody? By alia in 1998.
