Quick Note And Gratitude

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Okay, so this is gonna be a quicker than normal episode because I have my grandfather passed away, and I will be flying to Indiana tomorrow to be with family for all of that. Um so we're kind of doing an expedited recording and editing session. So you're still gonna get a full-length episode, but it's gonna be a little shorter than normal. Thank you for um listening and watching. And remember to be nice to people and hug your loved ones.

SPEAKER_00 0:27

Yeah. You should do that anyway.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

Well, yes, but you know, when faced with mortality, it is a good reminder.

Hoosier Lore And Family Roots

SPEAKER_00 0:33

Yes. Welcome back to the A-Los podcast with Allison and Alex. I'm Alison. He's Alex. Sorry, I missed your first cue.

SPEAKER_02 0:54

No, that's okay. You we we got there.

SPEAKER_00 0:56

Okay. Before we get into anything new, my sister sent me a um She was listening, huh?

SPEAKER_02 1:06

She knows what she knows what Hoosier is.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

Well, she sent me a little she said she didn't actually know.

SPEAKER_02 1:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:12

Because no one does. But she sent me an article from 2018 called The Word Hoosier, an origin story.

SPEAKER_02 1:19

From 2018.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

From 2018.

SPEAKER_02 1:22

Okay, pretty recent. Well, seven years. Eight.

SPEAKER_00 1:26

Um I didn't really read this, so I'm gonna be skimming. I didn't, I thought that there it might be like bullet points or something. It's actually just like a real article. It's an article. Um according to the Indiana University Archives, the earliest known written use of the word can be found in a letter dated February 11th.

SPEAKER_02 1:45

That's my birthday.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Oh my gosh. 1831. And the letter written by GL Murdoch to General John Tipton.

SPEAKER_02 1:53

There were Murdochs on the Titanic. Just saying.

SPEAKER_00 1:56

There were. And Tipton, Indiana is a city.

SPEAKER_02 1:59

And London Tipton from Sweet Life of Sacody.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

Murdoch replied to an advertisement, an advertisement.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

An advertisement, yes.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

And offered to deliver goods by steamboat to Logansport, Cass County. In closing, he mentioned our boat will be named the Indiana Hoosier. The earliest known printed instance of Hoosier can be found in a letter to the editor of the Vincennes Gazette, also a city in Indiana Wild. Just eight days after the Murdoch letter was pinned. In the letter, the author who identified themselves as Raccoon noted, okay, this is too much. But so I guess maybe it also that he named his boat The Hoosier. The Hoosier. Huh.

SPEAKER_02 2:40

That would be a sixth possible reason. There's so many reasons over this weekend. I'll inquire with locals. It's too bad my grandfather, the my other grandfather is also passed because he was a historian. So like he would Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

I also haven't asked my dad, who's also your dad would definitely know.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

He'd be like, well, we're 1812.

SPEAKER_00 3:01

We're gonna have to have another episode where we talk about this.

SPEAKER_02 3:06

Don't worry, we will come around to it. We'll figure it out.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

Well, we know that you are have have been having a hard few days.

SPEAKER_02 3:13

SPEAKER_00 3:15

I my condolences again. Don't worry, guys. I still I talked I gave him my condolences.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

Work Updates And Travel Plans

SPEAKER_00 3:26

But how is how's the rest of your week been?

SPEAKER_02 3:29

Good, busy at the office. Um finally some movement with gay and trying for the year. We've been waiting for like meetings to happen before we can like figure out what's happening next. So now on Friday is our first like pre-pro meeting to go over what does this next phase of gay and trying look like? So on Friday, I will that's tomorrow. I will be on a call while I drive to the airport. And then I'll be airporting.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

Well, you probably won't be able to tell us.

SPEAKER_02 4:01

No, not until next week.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

But good that there's movement.

SPEAKER_02 4:05

Yes. How about you?

SPEAKER_00 4:06

Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 4:08

Have sports started back up yet?

SPEAKER_00 4:12

The not okay. So my sports, you mean? Yeah. Um, I think the Tuesday league will be is starting.

SPEAKER_01 4:23

You're doing that?

SPEAKER_00 4:23

I don't know. Because this is the time, this is where I got in the pickle last year. Is where right now is the Wednesday leagues session that we don't want to be a part of because it's the one where we all can't play together. It's the draft season. So because I wasn't playing in that, last year I agreed to play in the Tuesday league. And then once the next season came about, then I found myself playing in two leagues. Yes. So this is where I have to decide. Yeah. Am I only playing in one or am I playing in both?

SPEAKER_02 4:58

Are they like, are we doing that?

SPEAKER_00 4:59

No, we just got an email about it. So I assume that Brendan, if he wants me on his team. But I think I don't know. Maybe I just say, hey, I don't think I can't commit, but I'm down to sub because we know that every week there needs to be a sub.

SPEAKER_02 5:14

True. Every week.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

So then it's like I can play a couple times, but maybe not have to play the whole season. And then in the next season of Wednesday league, then I can play. Got it. That can be my actual league. I don't know. Because I do love those people. Like I like playing with them, but playing driving twice a week to West Hollywood. Did get it became a lot for me. So I don't know. But that soon.

SPEAKER_01 5:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:42

Yeah.

unknown 5:44

Hmm.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

Well, so I think the main thing we could talk about, I mean, it depends, but we'll see how long it takes us, is the Oscar nominations happened yesterday. And I feel like the big story for us is that Wicked got completely snubbed.

SPEAKER_02 5:58

Which is wild.

SPEAKER_00 5:59

It is wild. No.

SPEAKER_02 6:03

Really?

SPEAKER_00 6:03

Because I have not seen I did hear they got snubbed. I can go through it with you, but this is what I mean. They didn't need to break it up into two. I think that if it was one movie, it would things would be different.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

Four-hour movie though?

SPEAKER_00 6:17

No, I think they would have had to shorten it to three hours and do an extended version for release.

SPEAKER_02 6:24

DVD. Sure. For DVD release. For DVDs.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

No, there's no DVDs.

SPEAKER_02 6:30

I think there are.

SPEAKER_00 6:32

Are there's new DVDs being made? I know they're like what?

SPEAKER_02 6:37

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_00 6:38

People's there's no way.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

You think movies aren't being put on DVD anymore?

SPEAKER_00 6:42

Why would they waste their money doing that?

SPEAKER_02 6:45

Because some people I I have a Blu-ray player.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

I have a PlayStation, but like I'm never buying.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

Help me out here. People still buy DVDs.

SPEAKER_00 6:58

There's just no way.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

No, they're they make it.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

I feel like that's a waste of money.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

Why?

SPEAKER_00 7:04

Because the amount of people that are like, I'm I'm never getting a streaming service. I'm gonna I'm DVD Blu-rays all the way.

SPEAKER_02 7:12

Blu-rays all the way.

SPEAKER_00 7:13

That is such a small community that it cannot be cost efficient to make that.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

You might be right.

SPEAKER_00 7:24

But I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 7:24

Maybe I know for a fact on on Stanley's life that they are releasing DVDs regularly.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

What's the what's the newest movie you saw at DVDF? A Blu-ray F Titanic.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

No, what did I see at Target? I saw a new the new release DVD section, which is an end cap over in the entertainment area.

unknown 7:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:48

So anyway, I would love to know if literally anyone listening. Yeah, please.

SPEAKER_00 7:53

I don't I think it's fun and nostalgic to like find an old DVD and watch it.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:02

But also I can pretty much anything I want I can watch online. Although what is annoying is that some things that are old that you would think this should be anywhere for free. That's what they're like. You can watch this for$12. And I'm like, this is 20 years old. Why on earth would you make me pay for this thing? Whatever. Okay, so we can go through Z nominations. Let's go through. So Best Picture.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

Best Picture.

SPEAKER_00 8:35

I I feel like Sinners, this is where they really got their like noms. Because they really didn't get a lot in at uh what Golden Globes?

SPEAKER_02 8:44

Yeah. And Ryan Kugler did though. He wants something.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Yeah, but I think that was like the only thing. Oh, okay. You know, hmm. Okay. Uh Best Picture, The Secret Agent, Begonia, Marty Supreme, Train Dreams, F1, Sinners, Frankenstein, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, Sentimental Value. I saw one out of those. I actually kind of want to watch Marty Supreme.

SPEAKER_02 9:14

I want to watch Marty Supreme too, which is the one that you saw.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Sinners.

SPEAKER_02 9:18

I've only seen Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_00 9:20

You should watch Sinners.

Do DVDs Still Matter

SPEAKER_02 9:21

I know. I saw Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_02 9:25

No, it was interesting. Sinners won Best Picture at Golden Globes.

SPEAKER_00 9:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:29

Because I know this only because I was shocked to see that Haley Steinfeld is pregnant because she went on stage.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

Oh, I think I knew that.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:37

Poor her husband is out of the he's an NFL quarterback, and they just lost. And then they're very sad about that.

SPEAKER_02 9:46

Thought she was a lesbian. Thought she was with a woman.

SPEAKER_00 9:47

What? There's no way.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

100%. Wait, really?

SPEAKER_00 9:51

She's married to Josh Allen, who is the Bills quarter quarterback.

SPEAKER_02 9:55

The Buffalo Bills?

SPEAKER_00 9:56

The Buffalo Bills.

SPEAKER_02 9:57

Had no idea.

SPEAKER_00 9:58

That's so funny.

SPEAKER_02 10:00

Who's in the Super Bowl? IU and who else?

SPEAKER_00 10:03

IU.

SPEAKER_02 10:04

Oh no, no, they won.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

They did just win the college football championship playoffs.

SPEAKER_02 10:09

Because you wore my jersey.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

Yeah, I wore, I asked Alex to borrow his Indiana Hoosiers football jersey, which he didn't even know. I said, Can I borrow your IU jersey? And he goes, What?

SPEAKER_02 10:18

Yeah, I don't think of that as a jersey. I think of it as a crop top.

unknown 10:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:25

So it threw me for a second. I immediately get jersey. Oh, right.

SPEAKER_00 10:28

Yeah. You have so many football jerseys.

SPEAKER_02 10:31

I used to have the best Colts jersey. You should. What happened to that?

SPEAKER_00 10:34

I don't know, but they're we're good again. So you should actually our quarterback did just like Terra's Achilles this season, but I'm sure he'll be fine. I'll be back. Okay, okay, okay. But um you should get some padding and just be like a sexy football.

SPEAKER_02 10:49

Yeah, slutty little gay football.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

Why have you never done that for Halloween? Halloween. Since you've been wearing all your football jerseys.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

Again, I don't think of them as jerseys. I've I think of them as comfortable crop tops.

SPEAKER_00 11:03

Okay. Well, I think this year you should be a football playoff.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

Okay. Who is in the Super Bowl?

SPEAKER_00 11:07

Before we jump back to it's not it's not been established yet.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

But it's the Bears are done. They're out.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

The Bills. The Bears are also done, I believe. Let's see who's still in the football.

SPEAKER_02 11:17

Who's still playing on the in the National Football League? Wayne Gretzky?

SPEAKER_00 11:26

What sport did Wayne Gretzky play?

SPEAKER_02 11:28

Basketball. Baseball. No way. Baseball, baseball.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

No way.

SPEAKER_02 11:31

Wayne Gretzky. There's no way. Hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey. Hockey, hockey, hockey. It's Gretzky, Hinsky, I know.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

What? Okay.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

People ha you the amount of people that have asked me if I've played hockey, and I think it's just because of the sound of my last name. Hinsky.

unknown 11:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:46

That's fair.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

Yeah, it's called Heated Rivalry.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Okay. So right now. Okay, there's one more game that has to happen to secure who's in the Super Bowl. And that would be the Broncos and the Patriots and the Seahawks and the Rams.

SPEAKER_02 12:08

So the San the uh Kansas City Chiefmen are Travis.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Yeah, Travis. I don't know, is he gonna retire?

SPEAKER_02 12:17

Because it's not a great way to go out.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

It's not. They could have gone out a couple seasons ago and then he would have won the Super Bowl. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know anyone who plays on these teams, but Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:32

Alright, back to Oscars. Sorry, everyone.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

Okay, best actor, Michael B. Jordan, Timothy Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio. Has he won yet?

SPEAKER_02 12:42

Yes, for the one where he was fought a bear.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Right. Wagner Mora and Ethan Hawk.

unknown 12:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Do we care about any of these people?

SPEAKER_02 12:53

Probably if we're going off of the globes, it'll be Marty.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

I'm sorry, Wagner Mora looks like the guy from Dawson's Creek that's not James Vanderbeek, the other one.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

Totally.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

What's his name? Um Pacey, but I don't know his name in real life.

SPEAKER_02 13:10

Dawson?

unknown 13:11

Nope.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

Dawson is James Vanderbeek. Pacy is the other one.

SPEAKER_02 13:14

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

Whatever.

SPEAKER_02 13:16

Pacey?

SPEAKER_00 13:17

Pacey is his name.

SPEAKER_02 13:18

The gay character.

SPEAKER_00 13:19

Nope.

unknown 13:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 13:19

I don't know anything, so I'm gonna stop.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

Okay. Um I don't know. It'd be fun for Michael B. Jordan to win because cute. Uh Timothy would be cute because he would we would see Haley.

SPEAKER_01 13:35

Kylie, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:36

Um, and then yeah, whatever. Best actress, Emma Stone, Rose Byrne, Jesse Buckley, Ren Renate, Renette, Rinsve, and Kate Hudson.

SPEAKER_02 13:49

Kate was nominated for Sing Bong Sing Song Bird. Yep. Sing Sing Song.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

Yes, whatever that is. Yes. Um Best Supporting Actress, Tiana Taylor, Amy Madigan, Woon Me Musaku, El Fanning, Inga, Ib's daughter, Lil Lyas. I'm so sorry to these people that I cannot say their names.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

I'm so sorry to this man.

SPEAKER_00 14:13

I'm so sorry to this man. Best original song, Train Dreams, Dear Me.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

I do want to say I hope Tiana Taylor wins. I just am loving her lately.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

Documentary Diane Warren. Oh, she's never won. She's been, hasn't she been nominated like 60 times?

SPEAKER_02 14:26

Yes, and when she loses, she shows it on her face.

SPEAKER_00 14:29

Well, if you were nominated 60 times, it's a lot. Is that how many times?

SPEAKER_02 14:32

I know it's a lot, though. She loses every time.

SPEAKER_00 14:34

Well, I think she's gonna lose again because Golden cave up Demon Hunters. I lied to you, sweet dreams of joy.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

I want to say that Golden from Demon Hunter probably will win. Props them, but it sounds like a song Diane Warren would write, so I wonder if she's kicking herself that she wasn't a part of that.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:52

It's okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

What has she written that I would know?

SPEAKER_01 14:55

Tell me something, girl. Are you happy in this model? She didn't win for that. No, but she was nominated.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

Dang. Best supporting actor, Delroy Lindo, Benicio Del Toro, Jacob Alordi, Sean Penn, Stellan Skarsgard.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

Would love to see Jake win because that's the only movie I saw of those. And he did do a great job as the monster.

SPEAKER_00 15:21

Yeah, sure, I didn't see it. Best original score, no wicked to be seen. Begonia, Sinners, Frank and Sweden.

SPEAKER_02 15:29

One battle after another.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

I'm sorry. I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

That's really fucking crazy.

SPEAKER_00 15:38

I'm not seeing it.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

Really? Cynthia was not, they were nominated for Golden Globes. Cynthia didn't even go. She wasn't even at the Globes.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

Do they know? Like, do they already know if they've been or not? Good for good. Did not even earn one nomination. But I do think they put all their eggs in the basket of this, and then what?

Why Wicked’s Momentum Stalled

SPEAKER_02 16:08

I don't know. A lot of sequels and and stuff get nominated. Lord of the Rings every year. Harry Potter's every year. Avengers movies? Marvel movies every year.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

I wonder why. I mean, obviously I never I've still have not seen it.

SPEAKER_02 16:23

So I haven't either.

unknown 16:24

We need to.

SPEAKER_00 16:25

Well, it's not in theater movies. So now, yeah. Which is weird for us.

SPEAKER_02 16:29

They did have very strange, like I was thinking this, I was driving home from boyfriends this morning, and they're acting like changing the Ariana billboard on the side of the building at Highland and Franklin. And nope, Franklin and whatever, I don't know, streets. Um, you know, when you're coming off of the next Hollywood Bowl, that terrible intersection that's like Franklin if you turn right.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:50

They were actively covering her up with a new movie with Kiki Palmer, which also looks really good. And I was thinking, there really was so much hype for Wicked One.

SPEAKER_01 17:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Like you couldn't walk outside without hearing someone talk about it. And the reaction was also like, but the reactions even to this one were kind of like, yeah, it was good.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

Do you think they overcorrected and did not unfair?

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_00 17:11

Because like before it was like too much, and everyone was like, Okay, we get it. Well, they didn't even censor. You're obsessed with each other, and blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

The press one run was so short for this one. Like they they were on a press tour for like three months with the first one.

SPEAKER_00 17:24

Yeah, I feel like maybe they didn't do enough press this time.

SPEAKER_02 17:27

Yeah, because we didn't get any viral press moments.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

I think they really needed to be like super fun, funny and relatable. I think like if they had done that, because they were so serious the first time and they were so all over each other and like trying to get inside each other's body. Yeah. It was so like actor serious and like crying and all this stuff. If they had done this one and just been normal and funny, and I don't know, just like yeah, just joking and telling like funny stories and like being silly goofy because Ariana is so funny, so silly goofy, she is, and really good at like impressions and characters, yeah. And if she had she's just like a theater kid, and if they had just like leaned into that, I think people would have been seen them as humanized, and then they would have been like, oh, okay, I get it. Like I want to watch, but instead they overcorrected, they did nothing, and then everyone just forgot about them.

SPEAKER_02 18:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

I don't know, and because it also got overshadowed online by talk of their appearances because they are both, they both like visibly from before they shot this movie to recently, like during the press, they both got so tiny, and not to comment on whatever was going on in their bodies, but like that became the bigger conversation online, yeah. Especially on TikTok and whatever, of instead of people being like, Oh, the movie and the songs, and oh my gosh, it was like, look at them, look at how they look. They look so like sad and scary and hungry. Yeah, and then people were like, Well, I don't want to, I don't want to support this if this movie made them like that. I don't know. So I think they're just overcorrected in my opinion.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Yeah, it's just a little sad they're not in there, but well, before the Oscars last year, sorry, were like so insane. Remember the opening number was that wicked medley that left everyone gagged and gooped.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

Gagged and gooped.

Euphoria Season Three Reactions

SPEAKER_02 19:31

Yeah. Anyway.

SPEAKER_00 19:33

Well, I was just gonna segue into we just I made Alex watch the Euphoria trailer before we started recording. Yeah. Because I cannot believe we were watching Euphoria. Cause what season was it that we watched in twenty twenty what, two?

SPEAKER_02 19:50

When we live together, season two.

SPEAKER_00 19:52

Season two.

SPEAKER_02 19:53

Yeah. 'Cause I saw season one when I was still living with my ex.

SPEAKER_00 19:56

And this is season three?

SPEAKER_02 19:57

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 19:57

So that was twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two?

SPEAKER_02 20:00

It's been six years since the first season came out.

SPEAKER_00 20:02

It's been six years. I can't even like we don't sorry, we didn't need it.

SPEAKER_02 20:08

Right, right.

SPEAKER_00 20:09

We didn't need it. But the trailer looks so funny to me because they're just being like, okay, we're we've been out of school for three years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like Sydney Sweeney being like an OF content creator, I guess that's what she's what it looked like, yeah. So funny.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

Yeah. Also, of any storyline to predict, I could have predicted that one.

SPEAKER_00 20:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

I'm sad that I didn't see, like, I didn't see her sister, Rue's sister, in the trailer. Or I don't know her name in the show, but her name in real life is Kat. Or maybe it's Kat in she was the girl who was doing OF in the first two seasons. Secretly would wear a mask. She wasn't in the trailer either.

SPEAKER_00 20:48

I mean, so many years later, I probably I'm sure it is hard to get that many actors.

SPEAKER_02 20:53

Yeah, you're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_00 20:54

I am interested. Obviously, Rue has not changed, has not learned anything. It seems like she's still, you know, into the nefarious things.

SPEAKER_02 21:06

I wonder what they're gonna do about McSteamy.

SPEAKER_00 21:08

I know. I think that was the end of the episode.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

He was in jail.

SPEAKER_00 21:13

I think he filmed something. Okay. I believe. But obviously, I don't know if during because they they wrapped filming not that long ago. Because I remember hearing about when Trisha was on set.

SPEAKER_01 21:25

Oh yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00 21:26

I don't know, like, you know, the actual timeline, but it wasn't that long ago, and he's been in an in rapid decline. So I'm sure that at some point during filming he was not able to continue, or they had to like maybe they wrote it in.

SPEAKER_02 21:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:44

Possibly. I don't know. But it does look compelling from the trailer. That doesn't mean it's gonna be good.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

No, but it's gonna be heavy. Like it, I mean it was always dark.

SPEAKER_00 21:54

That's why someone told me to watch Tell Me Lies, and like I just can't bring myself to do it because after someone says, You should watch Tell Me Lies, then they go, It's the most traumatizing and stressful thing I've ever watched. And I'm so sorry. That doesn't sound fun to me. No, I agree. Nah. So I don't know. But we're gonna have to watch because I feel like we we started this journey together.

SPEAKER_02 22:20

So it's not gonna be it's like watching heated rivalry. It's like six episodes.

SPEAKER_00 22:23

I know that took me so long, though.

unknown 22:25

True.

Game Of Thrones Spinoff Impressions

SPEAKER_00 22:26

Speaking of watching, okay, so I got to go to the premiere. I'm just stealing this conversation. I'm sorry. Oh I got to go with Caleb to the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms last weekend.

SPEAKER_02 22:40

The Game of Thrones spinoff.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

Yes. This is the story of Sir Duncan the Tall.

SPEAKER_02 22:46

Which is happens, it's a prequel, right? It's like way before Game of Thrones.

SPEAKER_00 22:49

It's a hundred years before. So the pre the prequel prequel, House of the Dragon, was like 200 or something years before. So this one is set in the middle.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

Got it.

SPEAKER_00 23:00

Which, like, so I watched the I hadn't really, we I didn't finish House of the Dragon. We watched a little bit together and then I c I just like didn't care. So I didn't keep up with that. I don't know where that storyline went. But watching, we got to watch the first two episodes, and I really liked it, and I was very into it. So I went home and I started watching Game of Thrones again.

SPEAKER_02 23:21

The trailer is giving like it's a little more comedic.

SPEAKER_00 23:25

Yeah, it was a little lighter, it was a little like there was some funny sp funny points.

SPEAKER_02 23:29

Okay, I love that actually.

SPEAKER_00 23:30

And in I've I've watched like maybe six episodes of the first season of Game of Thrones now over this past week. And they r reference Sir Duncan.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 23:42

Um, when Bran, spoiler alert, uh uh when Bran wakes up from his um being knocked out from being pushed out the window, yeah, and he's in he's a bedridden, and the caretaker that's taking care of him is like, Do you want me to tell you a story? And she's like, Have I told you about Sir Duncan the Tall? And I was like, Oh my gosh. There's the time. Yeah, I guess he's mentioned like a bunch more times, so maybe that's why they chose him as a spin-off. I don't know, maybe he has his own book in the series, possibly.

SPEAKER_02 24:14

How tall is he?

SPEAKER_00 24:15

Like seven feet tall, I think.

SPEAKER_02 24:17

As a tall man.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

Actually, I made that up.

unknown 24:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 24:19

So confidently.

SPEAKER_00 24:20

But it feels like he's like seven feet tall. I see. Because it's like if they're if they're commenting like, oh, you're the tallest person ever, then that he can't just be like six two, because I'm sure there are people I am six two.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

I know I'm saying calling me short. Alison, we're beefing. No, I'm saying like that seems like the actor might be, but they're like portraying him bigger.

SPEAKER_00 24:41

Yeah. Got it. I'm saying, like, in that world, like I'm sure there are, although a lot of people are shorter, I'm sure there are people that are 6'2. So it's like it's not like they have never seen a person that's 6'2 before. But for them to be calling him like, whoa, you're tall, whoa, you're tall, it feels like he has to be at least six five or over, you know?

SPEAKER_02 25:03

Yes. You're right, you're probably right.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

But I also kind of just made that up. So what's happening over here?

SPEAKER_02 25:08

I was making well, I got a text, but Oh, okay. I was gonna say other pop culture news drama T, the Beckhams.

SPEAKER_00 25:17

Yeah, that's on my list, but it seems like I don't I didn't know if we would have time. Are you up to date? Yeah. Okay. So tell the book.

The Beckham Family Drama

SPEAKER_02 25:24

So for those that don't know, uh Brooklyn Beckham put out like a six-page release about basically the abuse, not physical, but just the emotional uh abuse and terribleness, uh out of uh quoting air quotes here, of his family and how his mom sabotaged their wedding by taking away the wedding dress, like disagree basically, like she was making the wedding dress last 11th hour. She said, No, I'm not doing the wedding dress, so his fiancee had to like rush and get something else. Apparently, allegedly inappropriately danced on him when the first dance was hijacked by um Mark Consuelas.

SPEAKER_00 26:06

No, who no, the one that was buried to, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:11

Mark Anthony. Mark Anthony, I do this every time. Mark Anthony, who said, let's bring up the most beautiful woman in the room, Victoria Beckham, for an inappropriate mother-son dance.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

Okay, here's my thing before you go on. How on earth we have heard this one time before from I think Brooklyn or Nicola. So do you don't you think if this happened, if that really happened that way at the wedding and people and she was dancing so inappropriately, don't you think from every single person that attended the wedding, we would call a video?

SPEAKER_02 26:49

There'd be a video, there would be other accounts or someone did come out and say, I attended the wedding and can verify that it was in fact a very inappropriate and awkward dance.

SPEAKER_00 26:58

She he was like Well, what it makes it inappropriate?

SPEAKER_02 27:00

We don't know. No one specified. Was she grinding on him? Was it just that she was like Was she just like very taking like look at me?

SPEAKER_00 27:09

Because those can be taken very differently. And it just, I don't know, this happened so long ago that like why right now? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 27:17

I don't know, but he basically he really put his foot down, and now stuff is coming out about Nicola that are like she's actually terrible. Um best friend of Kristen Cavalieri had they've someone dug up an old podcast he was on where he talked about working with her before she was like even with the Beckham like world. Nicola? Nicola, he worked with her and he like called her out as being one of the worst people he's ever worked with.

SPEAKER_00 27:44

Yeah, I don't know. I'm so torn on who's who's telling.

SPEAKER_02 27:48

Oh, I think both can be true because she comes from a lot of money, like she's has a lot of privilege, a lot of money. Yeah, um, but also you can definitely tell Victoria is a very particular woman who whatever, but Cruz has come out and defended his mom and dad.

SPEAKER_00 28:01

Yeah, the other kids, that's what my thing is like the other kids don't seem to be like disliking the family. The wedding dress thing, it can be taken either way. It's like one of those things. It's like, was she unable to finish it? Did Nicola not like it? I don't know, like it can just be truly.

SPEAKER_02 28:24

It could have been something like she did a fitting and she was like, I really don't like this part. Can we change it? And she's like, I can't get that changed in time. She ruined it. She's not, you know what I mean? It could be that.

SPEAKER_00 28:32

Because weddings are so divisive already with families, and it's like people, regular people fight about all this kind of stuff at weddings, and mother-in-laws are sometimes insufferable for with wedding planning and stuff like that. And it's like just because she's famous, like we're hearing about it more because most I guarantee you, like seven at least 70% of people who have planned a wedding could be like, Yeah, my mother-in-law was annoying about that at some point, you know what I mean? Or my father in law, like someone, someone was annoying in the wedding planning process. And so I don't know, it just feels right.

SPEAKER_02 29:12

What what has happened is we don't know who to believe. We'll see, but here's what I well, first of all, I don't know if you saw this part, but in retaliation, fans of Victoria Beckham have made her one hit wonder single that's called like not an innocent girl or something from the early 2000s is now number one in Ireland and number two in the UK.

SPEAKER_00 29:32

Okay, Ireland.

SPEAKER_02 29:33

And uh, which is hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 29:35

That is hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 29:36

Mine and boyfriend's hope is that regardless of who's right or wrong, in order to get ahead of the press, we are hoping this means the Spice Girls will announce a residency at Sphere in Las Vegas.

SPEAKER_00 29:46

That'd be so good.

SPEAKER_02 29:47

Because Sporty Spice kind of kind of talked about it on a podcast.

SPEAKER_00 29:52

She's always down. She's uh she's out here.

SPEAKER_02 29:54

She's And Victoria said she was down too, oh, like a month ago.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

Okay. I feel like Jerry's the one. Jerry's the hardest. She's on the left, right? Yeah. But I will say that a lot of people are kind of comparing them to Megan and Harry. And they're kind of like Oh, Megan and Harry.

SPEAKER_02 30:16

I was like, the royals.

SPEAKER_00 30:18

And it's and it because some of the things that Megan and Harry do feel performative in order to have the press on them in order to make money in a time where they might need money. I don't know if that's true or not. I don't follow it like that. But like it does feel like a little bit of like, okay, we're not participating in the family things, so we need a paycheck. So I'm gonna sell this article. Uh allegedly, I don't know if that's like the truth or not, but it's hard to it's hard to believe sometimes because like they did, they did recently or maybe last year or something, they were seen somewhere with the family. Brooklyn and Nicola. Oh, okay. I don't know if it was last year or not. I don't know. I'm kind of talking a little bit of in like bits and pieces I've heard from other people.

SPEAKER_02 31:13

He also said that she tried to sabotage their relationship by bringing old girls from his life like over for family events and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 31:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 31:22

So who knows? It's it's obviously he's a big thing.

SPEAKER_00 31:24

I do think it's probably a two things.

SPEAKER_02 31:27

Sure. Because I don't think financially it doesn't make sense. She's a billionaire and he has his own money too.

SPEAKER_00 31:32

That's true. But but in the press, like, we're not thinking about them really. Correct. You're right. Like we're always gonna be thinking about Victoria, David and Victoria more. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 31:43

Did you read the whole thing?

SPEAKER_00 31:44

No, I just got it from the first time.

SPEAKER_02 31:47

I we were we went we went to be with the family for my dad's birthday. We begged to have some private time with him and it was rejected. And then finally, when he agreed, he said that he would only meet up if it was just me and she wasn't there.

SPEAKER_00 32:00

So why? I want to know the why.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Correct. Why?

SPEAKER_00 32:03

Because if you're telling us that, then like you guys there can't be innocent.

SPEAKER_02 32:08

There's nothing in that that he said where he was like, and their reasons are crazy. They say it's night, nothing. He doesn't ever say that.

SPEAKER_00 32:13

Or it's not like, and you know what? I you know, we also did this thing also happened on our side. I don't know. Obviously, they're not he's not going to give that away, but that's the missing piece that everyone needs.

SPEAKER_01 32:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:24

Because it's like, there's no way, like, why did did David Beckham say that?

SPEAKER_01 32:28

Right.

SPEAKER_00 32:28

There has to be something that happened on this side. Maybe it was in a response to something that David and Victoria did. Yeah, but there's like why didn't he want to see Nicola? We need a full expose to really understand it because it's too back and forth. And I do believe, like I said before, that you are right that both things can be true. Like I'm sure that she wasn't separable with the wedding sub. I'm sure David has, you know, been a mean dad. And I'm sure Brooklyn and Nicola have done something on their side. And it's just like everyone grow up. There's worse things in life.

Birthdays, Serendipity, And Pop Culture

SPEAKER_02 33:10

Yeah. So we'll see.

SPEAKER_00 33:12

We'll see. We are gonna have to wrap it up. Um I'll save it for next time, what I wanted to say.

SPEAKER_02 33:18

Is it in is it time or is it like prudent to current culture?

SPEAKER_00 33:24

No, it's just like a thing that I found out in my life that was exciting.

SPEAKER_02 33:27

We'll talk about it next time.

SPEAKER_00 33:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 33:30

Birthdays?

SPEAKER_00 33:32

Um I actually don't don't have a pull-up this time, and that's because I was running around today. What is the when does this come out? Ellen degenerates. Happy birthday 68.

SPEAKER_02 33:46

SPEAKER_00 33:48

SPEAKER_02 33:50

SPEAKER_00 33:52

Stop.

SPEAKER_02 33:53

No way.

SPEAKER_00 33:54

Wayne Gretzky is 65 today. That something What does that mean? That just means it's Are we on the right path?

SPEAKER_02 34:02

It just is confirmation that this is uh all the matrix. None of it's real.

SPEAKER_00 34:06

But doesn't it mean like we're on the right path in life or something?

SPEAKER_02 34:08

If that's what you want to take from it, that'sn't it like an angel number type thing?

SPEAKER_00 34:11

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 34:12

It's like a deja. Crazy. Yeah, wow.

SPEAKER_00 34:15

I don't know, I didn't know that's what he looked like.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

Shocking.

SPEAKER_00 34:22

This is him at 64.

SPEAKER_02 34:24

Well, and that is true. Accurate as hell.

SPEAKER_00 34:27

SPEAKER_02 34:34

About Colton.

SPEAKER_00 34:35

Are you up on traders? No.

SPEAKER_02 34:36

I don't I have a feeling I'm not gonna be this whole season.

SPEAKER_00 34:38

I think on the plane you need to because there's something that happened the last episode that we need we actually do need to talk about.

SPEAKER_02 34:45

I know that there's things with there was a thing, you're right. I did and I can watch on the plane. That's good. I'll download those episodes. That's smart.

SPEAKER_00 34:50

Everyone, we'll talk about it next time. I did mean to bring that up, but since you didn't watch, it doesn't matter. Vince Carter, the basketball player, is 49.

unknown 34:59
