I feel like I like keeping up with the Kardashians. I'm like I like them. People like hate them, but I just find them fascinating. I like talking about the Kardashians. I like consuming the Kardashian content. I don't know, they're interesting. I've liked the show. I've watched it forever. Now I feel like it's a little bit more produced than it was before. I liked it when they were just like silly and fun, and now I do feel like, because of social media, we see everything that they're going to talk about before they're talking about it on the show. So when you're watching you're like okay, that was like then. I wish Kylie would put Demi on the show. I need to see her and Timothee Chalamet on the show, Like yesterday. I'm obsessed with them. I know everyone hates them, or not everyone but a lot of people don't like them.
Alex Dry:I think they're so cute. I think that they're cute. Hey guys, what's up? It's alex and I am back with another entry of the dry diaries. Today I have christy cook hi hey guys, she is the queen's phil sesh. You were anonymous before. Yeah, and you just did a face.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, it's rather new's, rather newish, but it's been fun.
Alex Dry:Yeah, that's so exciting. And then you have a new show. It's like a short form show, yeah, like a little show.
Kristi Cook:I've been working on that and then like there's other things in the mix, but I feel like ever since the face reveal, it's like more exciting. I can just do way more things. I know which was kind of the point of doing it. But yeah, it's been really good.
Alex Dry:I know I'm excited to get into that. But before we start, I kind of just want to get to know you because obviously, like, we've chatted a little bit but not into depth, and then also for, like all the followers, they you came out so they didn't really know about you beforehand.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, just the tea, just the tea, and that's it.
Alex Dry:Okay, well to start. So where did you grow up and what were you like as a kid?
Kristi Cook:I grew up in Florida, like kind of near Miami and Fort Lauderdale area, and I feel like I was shy, and I feel like I'm still shy, but just like when it's me my phone and my computer, I'm like, all right, guys, let's go, let's get into the team. But it's because, like, no one's like watching.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:Which was kind of like the fun part about being anonymous was like my personality could shine. But yeah, I feel like I'm just like quiet, I'm like I'm just like quiet. I'm like introverted as.
Alex Dry:Yeah, but you've always loved getting into like the gossip or like conspiracies and everything since you were little, or is it something that?
Kristi Cook:I think it's just like celebrities or like influencers. I've just always like watched that content. I think, especially when YouTube first started like really taking off. I was like in middle school and that's like all the content I was consuming and I felt like no one was talking about it, the way that they were talking about celebrities. They're like you go to the grocery store and every tabloid is like the Kardashians, but nothing was about influencers until I feel like COVID.
Kristi Cook:That's when everyone started taking them way more seriously as like celebrities, but I think it took, like Charlie D'Amelio for like that to happen.
Alex Dry:Yeah, and I think that definitely TikTok had a big play in that.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, for sure. Yeah, because now everyone's like, ok, there's value in these people. Yeah.
Alex Dry:So crazy. So what was your first ever YouTube channel you're obsessed with, or was there someone that you looked up to whenever you were starting your channel?
Kristi Cook:I just watched so much content. Over the years In middle school I was watching a lot of people make music videos and like my friends and I would make these music videos too. It's like Katy Perry songs, like Pitbull. We're just like. It was so embarrassing. I can't even watch those videos back. I don't even know where they are. I think I like scrubbed them entirely. But I think, like Kian and JC, like O2Well, gen X, pen, like probably you're like what the heck it's like, so niche down there. But Jenna Marbles, shane Dawson at the time, but those are the people that I was watching.
Alex Dry:Were you ever Jake Paul Logan Paul fans.
Kristi Cook:I didn't like watch them like prior to them being in Scandals. I think that's when I was like oh okay, like let me see what everyone's talking about. But, I remember like the Team 10 era and my gosh and the music videos. Like that was like eating that up, and like Alyssa Violet, like coming back at Jake. I'm like that song was so good so funny.
Alex Dry:I know. I recently watched their documentary oh on the HBO. Yeah, I've been.
Kristi Cook:I've seen a couple episodes of it okay, I don't know if they're all out, but I've seen some of it.
Alex Dry:I think I watched like the first one or the first two, because they were like releasing them slowly, yeah, and the only thing I mean I thought it was really cool, the only thing I took out of it was now I'm like, okay, do I want to try ayahuasca? Because you know how he was talking about his whole experience.
Kristi Cook:And then, like the Mike Tyson thing, it's like everyone that does it is like gets online. They're like I'm a changed person, I'm looking at things differently, but I can't even believe that they're on HBO. I can't believe they got a show. It's insane, like their journey, though, like right now, I think like Logan's getting called out because he was like talking about having a daughter and he's like this is like my karma or something for like how I've treated girls in the past.
Kristi Cook:Because he wanted like a boy first. He's like I just always envisioned I was gonna have like a son and he's gonna be this protector to like my, like daughter and everyone's like. What a crazy thing to say oh my gosh, these guys.
Alex Dry:They're like unfiltered, still yeah, for those of you who haven't watched it. So, logan and Jake Paul they came out with this HBO series and, of course, like the one thing that stuck out to me was Jake went to Costa Rica, I think it was and he did this whole ayahuasca journey and during it he said that he had this whole vision of him and mike tyson fighting and how it impacted like all of these kids and it got them into boxing, and so he literally showed a call with him and mike tyson on facetime and mike tyson's like yeah, like you know how he has like the little list. He's like, yeah, he's like I've done ayahuasca too, let's do. Yeah, like you know how he has, like the little list. He's like, yeah, oh my God, he's like I've done ayahuasca too, let's do it. I'm like, is this really how this fight came about? But I don't know.
Kristi Cook:It's just crazy.
Alex Dry:Yeah, it's crazy.
Kristi Cook:I'm like, did you manifest that for real?
Alex Dry:I know, just getting Mike Tyson on FaceTime randomly.
Kristi Cook:But Mike Tyson on FaceTime randomly, but yeah, like what?
Alex Dry:What was that about? I know you just, let me just call him up. Yeah, I guess it's like the power.
Kristi Cook:He got his number through the ayahuasca.
Alex Dry:Yeah, like what it came to him in his like little vision. Yeah, so crazy. Ok, what's something people would be shocked to learn about you.
Kristi Cook:I I don't know Probably that I am like quiet or that people that I talk about in my videos don't hate me, because I feel like people think I'm like talking about celebrity and influencer news and stuff and that people will be offended. But then I'm like honestly, everyone kind of has a podcast right now and a lot of these like influencers or even celebrities have these shows where they're talking about what's going on in pop culture too. So I feel like they kind of get it now yeah.
Alex Dry:Does anyone ever call you out or comment on your videos that whenever you're talking about them?
Kristi Cook:Not anymore. I feel like in the beginning, when I was anonymous, though I think everyone on the internet was just like way more ruthless. Yeah, the beginning when I was anonymous, though I think everyone on the internet was just like way more ruthless. Yeah, like James Charles was getting called out by Jeffree Star, and Jeffree was just like ripping into anyone. So then I feel like everyone was ripping into everyone because they were all going for each other.
Alex Dry:It was like a free-for-all.
Kristi Cook:So I said, like any and everything that I felt, and, of course, like people would like reply back yeah, but it wasn't. I mean, it wasn't anything like crazy, like the only person that ever blocked me was Jeffree Star, but I think that's just because he can't handle the truth, but he blocks everyone, yeah, but that was like he actually goes live with one of my good friends. No way I know he goes live all the time he's on there getting his tokens. Yeah.
Alex Dry:His galaxies.
Kristi Cook:I'm like okay, all right.
Alex Dry:The whole TikTok live thing's crazy. But I mean, she's turned it into a full-time job. That's nuts. It's so crazy.
Kristi Cook:I don't even know anything about TikTok live really, other than people like get on and they like battle and ask for galaxies. But I went to like this TikTok. I was like the TikTok office and then they had other creators there that specifically went live and they were like talking about the bonus program. And then there's this and I was like what it's like?
Alex Dry:a different world.
Kristi Cook:It really is there's so much money in it.
Alex Dry:I know crazy, it's so crazy. We were at stagecoach and one of the girls that we were with one of my good friends she goes live, but it's honestly a full-time job, Like she has to go live from a certain time to a certain time. It's like all day. Yeah, and my brother he's a sports guy, yeah, so out of social media completely and he comes in. He's like what is going on? Like are you playing Pokemon Go it?
Kristi Cook:kind of looks like that. It looks like a game. I know I mean it's kind of crazy that that's like within the app. That's like the same app that I'm just scrolling on endlessly that people are like playing, like a legit game on. Yeah, and making money from it.
Alex Dry:I know and like significant amount. You can make a lot of money.
Kristi Cook:It's a whole other side of the app yeah but it's cool. I mean people are like quitting their jobs and like even like the TikTok shop stuff, like people that go live and it's like QVC. Yeah, I'm just like oh my gosh, yes yes, it's so crazy.
Alex Dry:So how do you because you know also, social media in general is a full-time job, especially how many videos you put out. You put out a video every day, basically, right yeah. So how is that process like and how much time does it take? Do you pre-plan or do you want to share?
Kristi Cook:I think it's different depending on the topic of the video. Sometimes, if I know something super well, it takes me like no time at all. But if it's something that's like a Blake and Justin lawsuit situation.
Alex Dry:I'm like.
Kristi Cook:I have to sit, I have to read, make sure everything is right. I'm getting the quotes, I'm looking at the documents. That's going to take me like all day, but then last night I was scrolling and I saw that they were saying that Catherine, like, who used to be married to Austin McBroom.
Alex Dry:Oh, yeah, or married.
Kristi Cook:I don't even know if they were actually legally married.
Kristi Cook:But she's coming out with a book. Yeah, it's weird. People are like there was never like divorce documents that came out. Maybe they like got married in a different state and so people can't find them in the California system. I don't know how it works, but she's coming out with a book and people were saying that the first three chapters were released online like on accident, and in it she's like he cheated on me and actually flat out like confirming it. It's like everybody else has been talking about it for years, but she's never like come out and said it and so everyone's talking about it. I'm like, oh my gosh, like is this like for real? Are these pages from the book for real? And this morning I was like you know, like whatever, I'm just gonna make a video on it. I'm gonna say, but I don't know. But people are talking about it. They think it's this girl that was doing this with Austin and I. I think it took me like an hour to like make the video from like start to finish.
Kristi Cook:But, only because I'm like I know the back story and like the history and I was just like reading a couple pages of her book. But it really depends.
Alex Dry:Sometimes it's the whole day and sometimes it's like really fast, do you do all the editing yourself?
Kristi Cook:Yeah, Wow, I'm like crazy. That's awesome I would like an editor, but sometimes then I feel bad because I'm like I need it like right away yeah like some of the news is just like so, like so by tomorrow morning, like it's gonna be gone, yeah.
Alex Dry:I know it's so crazy because, even like doing a podcast, you know, looking up everything and then editing it it takes so long. So, yeah, I just have so much respect for people like you that put out things every single day, because I'm like that is a skill, because not only are you reporting on it and being the face of it, but then you're also editing and doing all the background stuff.
Kristi Cook:I feel like it's just like a formula where I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna research it, I'm gonna write it all down, I'm gonna record the voice. I record like the first like 30 seconds of the video where I'm on camera and sometimes I'll just like sit there like in the beginning of the week and I'll know kind of what I'll talk about throughout the week. So I'll literally sit there and just like change my shirt and like the beginning of every video is like done, yeah, and then like the rest of the scripts, like I'll just like write one like a day and like edit it or whatnot. But that's so fun, I feel like, because I have like a system and every video is edited the same way.
Alex Dry:It goes quicker sometimes yeah, unless it's a crazy story. Do you think you're gonna only stick to celebrity gossip or go into other things? Because, like me, personally I love conspiracy theories. I call myself a ctd, like conspiracy detective but I think it's similar to celebrity, you know reporting because you obviously have to look it up and there's all these backstories or what people are saying and then like same thing with conspiracy theories like you can go down a freaking rabbit hole.
Kristi Cook:I definitely love videos like that. I feel like I've dabbled in it a little bit. If a story is going like super viral, like I've done a video on crumble cookies and like people like calling out crumble and I feel like I've definitely covered like a conspiracy theory or something Definitely when, like Shane Dawson was doing, like the Chuck E Cheese conspiracy theories, I was reporting on that.
Alex Dry:Wait, what's the Chuck E Cheese conspiracy theory?
Kristi Cook:He literally I think they like threatened to sue him over it. Really it was a crazy, crazy deal. But he made a video. I think it was like before COVID, where they went to Chuck E Cheese and he was like hearing that if people like don't finish their pizza, that they would allegedly like piece it together, like they would like save the pieces and then like make a new pizza and like serve it to people because, like the slices of the pizza were uneven like they didn't fit together and so he was was like you know what?
Kristi Cook:I'm just going to go to Chuck E Cheese. I'm going to see if this is for real. And they went to Chuck E Cheese and the pizza didn't fit.
Kristi Cook:And he was like I can't get the pieces to fit and he was like trying so hard, it was so crazy and everyone was talking about it. They were so grossed out and disgusted. And then BuzzFeed or like people from BuzzFeed I think they worked at BuzzFeed at the time they went to Chuck E Cheese and did this like whole interview where they were like okay, what's the tea on the Chuck E Cheese pizza? And obviously, like Chuck E Cheese, made like the most perfect looking pizza.
Kristi Cook:That day and like did not grill them at all about anything, and everyone's like what the heck? Like that was so PR wasn't even funny. They're like, I feel like, and then everyone else started going and getting the pizza.
Alex Dry:And seeing if it went together.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, and it was weird.
Alex Dry:Honestly, it probably worked in their favor because people were going yeah like they were paying for pizza that they wouldn't have paid for before.
Kristi Cook:That was just. That was a crazy conspiracy theory. Time wouldn't have paid for before. That was just.
Alex Dry:That was a crazy conspiracy theory time. That's so funny. I really liked that one, yeah, and then, of course, like the Diddy conspiracy.
Kristi Cook:All the things that have been said about that man are so freaking scary.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:Like all the parties. No like makes my skin crawl, I know.
Alex Dry:And we are just talking because the trial is happening. Yes, which started the day of the Met Gala. Yeah, which is just so Like, ironic, so odd.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, there's something like dystopian about that. But yeah they started on Monday and I think they're in the process of like picking the jury. I haven't heard too much about what's going on, but I just know it's intense. And Stephanie Sue, who has a podcast where she's been like covering the titty stuff. She's been going in person to like see everything.
Alex Dry:And she's been posting on.
Kristi Cook:TikTok, like coming out of the courthouse. She's like he's been like looking at everyone, like when he's talking. I'm like that's so freaking scary. Yeah, I don't want to be in the room for that.
Alex Dry:No, and I wonder who is they're going to bring in as what is it?
Kristi Cook:Like the witness. Yeah, witnesses. I know that his ex Cassie was in New York and I don't know if she spoke yet, but I think that's, I think she's supposed to.
Alex Dry:Yeah which that's? Gonna be crazy because the video that came out of the hotel she's pregnant right now, so I feel like I'm just like oh my god, let her be so much stress.
Alex Dry:I know, I can't even imagine yeah, she just needs to be like at home and done away from all of this have you heard the conspiracy about in LA with the underground tunnels, how there is possibly a Starbucks underground you ever heard the Starbucks? Yes, no, okay, so what? Yes, so, uh, somebody came out and said that they worked in the underground Starbucks and that they had signed an NDA and their NDA was up, so now they could speak about it.
Kristi Cook:But I mean, everyone knows that there's some sort of underground tunnels in LA I've been hearing that like Elon Musk wanted to make like Tesla tunnels. So like Tesla drivers could like go down and drive and I'm like okay well let me in.
Kristi Cook:Do you have a Tesla? I do, and someone tried to come at me for it, like the other day on Instagram. They were like oh, you have a Tesla. I'm like. I bought it five years ago. That man was not involved in politics back then. Don't come for me. I paid it off. I'm not buying a new car.
Alex Dry:Yeah, no, but I think it's proven that there is Tesla underground tunnels, because I've seen videos of people testing them out. But they're saying that there's other underground tunnels and that there was a starbucks under it and that's where, like, celebrities could stop and get their coffee and all this stuff. Whether it's true or not, I'm not sure. I do think why would someone just come out and say that they worked at? Starbucks and that's really random, but it's all so interesting, was it on tiktok interesting?
Kristi Cook:yeah, I'm like, were they just saying that, like for the gag of it all?
Alex Dry:but I don't know, I could also see celebrities doing something like that yeah, well, and they're tying it with the whole la fires thing, and how more stuff is coming out about that I know there's like so many theories that people have about how the fire started.
Kristi Cook:Yeah.
Alex Dry:I definitely have my theories. Do you? Yeah, so crazy? Oh, no, okay. So, speaking of conspiracy theories, what is your favorite one you've heard Besides, you know, like the Chuck E Cheese, but what's the most interesting?
Kristi Cook:Maybe like the Avril Lavigne one.
Alex Dry:I just saw her on Call Her Daddy. And they talked about it and they talked about it, and they talked about it.
Kristi Cook:That was crazy, because I'm just like it's like how does someone like come up with something like that? But, also like I was like so sucked in by the end of like watching all that stuff about it.
Alex Dry:I'm like yeah.
Kristi Cook:Did they really like replace her with this Melissa woman? And then people also say the same thing about Britney.
Alex Dry:Yes, where place?
Kristi Cook:her with this Melissa woman. And then people also say the same thing about Britney. Yes, yeah, that is not the Britney I know and I love and I'm like oh my god, just like Hollywood's so scary. And then you hear stuff like the Diddy stuff and you're like, honestly, like Hollywood is capable of so much.
Alex Dry:That's so fine. Yeah, I don't know if Britney is necessarily. I okay the whole thing about people being cloned. Yeah, I don't think that. That the whole thing about people being cloned, I don't think that. That's not really something that I truly believe in. Yeah, but there is a lot of things with her posting that I'm like.
Kristi Cook:This doesn't all add up it doesn't feel right it doesn't feel right.
Alex Dry:But then I watched Sam on a podcast her ex-husband. He was on Nick Viles podcast and I was like, first off, like he is the best, the way that he like speaks about her and like vouches for her. I was like, wow, like you really know how to like do this. Like him, though, I thought I know.
Kristi Cook:I, I don't know, I've only ever um, I've only ever seen him on like reality show stuff, like not really when he's talking about her outside of him, like defending her when they were still together. Yeah, I think people think like he was working with her family, like to get her money and signed off on things. And that's why they don't like him.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:I don't remember if they mentioned him in the documentary that came out about him, but I know people don't like him. But it's so interesting to me because I'm like she posts all this stuff on instagram and like it feels like she's like not okay, I don't know she's. But then I'm like this man is like with her and he's like talking, like so, like normally, and like he's he goes to events and stuff. Now. And he just like I'm like how are they together?
Alex Dry:How do they have conversations and stuff? They got a divorce, though, yeah, so she's with someone else now. Oh, she is, I think yeah, maybe not I don't know no, the way he was speaking about it, though I was a little like suspect about it.
Kristi Cook:Because I'm like is this an act? I feel like I'm suspicious on everything surrounding her. Yeah, I'm sure he's so PR that it's unreal yeah, so crazy.
Alex Dry:Um. So, speaking of like unwell Alex Cooper, I have to get your take on the Alex Earl, alex, alex Cooper drama.
Kristi Cook:This is so fascinating to me Because I don't really know that much about it.
Alex Dry:So I was like I know Christy will know.
Kristi Cook:I do know some things. I feel like I'm so just curious about the situation just because I'm like what happened. I have like my theories on it. But essentially Alex Cooper signed Alex Earl to her unwell network that she owns with her husband Matt that is like. Her and Matt are like a dream team, like.
Alex Dry:I want to be them, yeah, they have this empire together.
Kristi Cook:They're doing reality shows. They're so much money but but I feel like Alex joined Unwell at such a perfect time for her because she was like on the rise and she should have done like something else, like she should have had that podcast, but I think like over time she's gotten so famous that she's like I could do this on my own and maybe have like her own Unwell.
Kristi Cook:And then I think, more so recent people have been more aware of like her dad is, like her manager and through like all the people that were like talking to the press and stuff, it sounded like her and Alex were like not getting along, but I feel like it was more so like maybe like her dad and Alex Cooper were not getting along or like her dad was saying like Alex is being taken advantage of or whatnot.
Kristi Cook:So, maybe he thought like she deserved a better deal, especially if, like, season two of her podcast was coming. I think he just wanted her to like expand and now she's not doing the podcast, so it's like maybe she didn't even like it yeah, to begin with, or like wasn't worth her doing, because I think she's just vlogging on YouTube now, which kind of makes more sense.
Kristi Cook:I watched her whole Coachella like vlog and it was she honestly seemed so fun. I was like she actually wanted to like dance at Coachella, which, like nobody ever wants to dance, but I think it was just like all business of like why it kind of fell out, and now she's doing her like sip margs like an alcohol brand. I feel like she just like took a lot of what she learned by being around Alex Cooper and is like utilizing it for her own venture yeah and maybe like there's like beef because of that yeah.
Kristi Cook:I don't know, maybe like Alex doesn't want competition, but then I think Alex Cooper's no longer working with her publicist and she's like working with Alex Earl now. But I don't know, I don't know, but it is a rumor I heard, yeah, which would be crazy. Think alex cooper's no longer working with her publicist and she's like working with alex earl now, but I don't know but it is a rumor I heard yeah, which would be crazy.
Alex Dry:I did hear that. And then also a thing whenever you sign with some production companies like that, yeah, they own the rights to all your content. Yeah, so my theory was is maybe she wanted to step away, but because she was signed with her, they still own the rights to all of her content. So if she does do another podcast, she would have to completely start over all the branding.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, she said that she owned the ip and stuff oh, she did, okay, I think it's only, or yeah, because alex came out to say she wasn't taking the podcast from her because people were like what the heck? Like yeah and she was like I learned from, like Dave Portnoy or whatever that to always own your IP, so I think she wasn't holding on to the podcast yeah just, probably just for looks sake, because I'm sure if her company was, everyone be like what the heck like you're a bitch, yeah, it's so.
Alex Dry:It kind of makes me sad, though, because I feel like you know being two successful women if they were to do something together, I know, or like maybe they gave her some revenue in the company or something like that.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, because she really like was part of one of the first shows that they did on Unwell and I feel like really gave Unwell a presence.
Alex Dry:A presence.
Kristi Cook:yeah, it was like the first person that they signed and then I believe it was Madeline and then Harry Jousey, but I'm like these are the people that I'm like associating with Unwell. Yeah, I know it's sad and I watched, like when Alex was on Call Her Daddy and I feel like it was around the time that Alex was kind of changing how she was doing.
Alex Dry:Call Her Daddy.
Kristi Cook:She did like a whole vlog style with. Alex at a reality show and I don't know. I'm like that's sad. I thought that they were kind of giving like sister energy.
Alex Dry:Yeah, yeah, no, I thought so too. And she's coming out with a reality show about dating. Yes, I'm like, put me on it. She's doing a dating show.
Kristi Cook:I heard her talk. I went to the Hulu event where they were talking about all the new shows that are coming out and she came out and she was talking about it and she's like Rob and I were just at dinner last night and he's like the head of like Hulu Unscripted I'm like I can't believe she's at this dinner with this man Like it's just like so unreal.
Alex Dry:Oh my God, she went from like barstool, no, she's like having dinner with like the head of unscripted at hulu.
Kristi Cook:Did she even give any information about what the show's gonna be like? Yes, I think it's gonna be a boat somewhere, some island, ocean, whatever, and they're casting for people like date each other okay I was getting like love island on a boat that's what I was gonna say. It's giving luxury love island yeah, so I'm so excited she's sounds up my alley.
Alex Dry:It was like hard to like.
Kristi Cook:Narrow everybody down, like everyone's like, so fun so I'm like, okay, give us good tv. Like I'm really looking forward to it, yeah so they've already started casting for it. Yeah I think it might still be open, but I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm like, how do I get on this?
Alex Dry:no, you should.
Kristi Cook:I'm like it's hard out here no, it's rough LA, and in LA it's disgusting so it's hard, but you have a boyfriend. I do, do you talk about him on?
Alex Dry:not really.
Kristi Cook:I mean I like posted, like, just like our feet, like at Coachella and like a really blurry picture of us but you keep it pretty, pretty private, I guess yeah. I'm like there's never like a need to like chat about it. I guess he's not in social media, obviously, no, okay, but we did meet at VidCon which is kind of crazy, but it like aligned, like he works in social media, just like doesn't do it himself. Okay, so yeah cute, love that.
Alex Dry:Oh my gosh, vidcon's such a throwback. I used to work for TikTok, I don't know if you know that, yeah, so I worked for Flipagram and then it was acquired by ByteDance, so I worked for TikTok so we did like in the early days, early days, wow early, early days.
Kristi Cook:So I was hearing about VidCon this week. Someone was like are you going? And I was like I mean, like the past like two years I've gone to like the parties and stuff. There was like a TikTok party, there was a meta party, and then this year I'm like I haven't heard a thing.
Alex Dry:So I'm like I don't even know.
Kristi Cook:I forgot it was even happening.
Alex Dry:I feel like maybe it's changed a bit.
Kristi Cook:I I feel like maybe it's changed a bit. I think it definitely has, and someone said that TikTok wasn't going to be as big of a part of VidCon this year and I think they got bought out. I think VidCon got bought, so who's going to be there?
Alex Dry:Also that's a whole other thing too, because with TikTok the whole thing that happened with the transition, yeah. So I have my theories on it. Is that basically because they weren't allowing china to get all of our information, I guess. Or like they put some band I forgot what it was called. Do you know? Like the government, they like ruled something. I like I sound so dumb right now. It's like the House of Legislature like filed some thing.
Kristi Cook:Like the extension.
Alex Dry:No, not the extension they filed. I would have to look it up because it's so bad. Anyways, they filed some law rule whatever that it had something to do with getting our information through. Ip so that's where they wanted to ban TikTok because of that situation.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alex Dry:And so then TikTok went ghost for a day, and I think that they were removing that IP that was connected to ByteDance during that time In January. In January oh like when they went totally offline, and so I think maybe it changed the algorithm a bit, but then it ties into like okay, last year at the Met Gala, tiktok was there.
Kristi Cook:Yes, they were. They sponsored the Met Gala. They sponsored it.
Alex Dry:Yeah, and then with VidCon. You know, TikTok was obviously a big part of that too. But this year TikTok isn't a part of any of it. So I'm wondering if they're going to get bought out by another company or like what the deal is.
Kristi Cook:I feel like there's a ton of offers on the table but they just haven't wanted to do it. And I don't know if it's because they just don't want to and they're just being stubborn, or if there's something under the table, I don't know, but there's so many people that are like, just take my data, like I love the app.
Alex Dry:Yeah, I know. Do you have any thoughts on the Met Gala Conspiracy? Celebrity Gossip.
Kristi Cook:The Met Gala was interesting this year. I thought there was going to be more drama, I guess because I feel like there's always something surrounding the Met Gala, but no, there really wasn't too much. I mean, people talked about stuff, but it wasn't that crazy and like no influencers, I know you're good. There was, like no influencers except for Emma Chamberlain at the Met Gala for the first time. I don't think YouTube bought a table.
Alex Dry:And.
Kristi Cook:I don't think like TikTok, definitely didn't buy a table.
Alex Dry:Right.
Kristi Cook:Which is wild, which is so?
Alex Dry:crazy. Yeah, I saw a few of the looks. My one of my favorite looks was, I mean, kendall Jenner, but I'm just. I just love her, all of her looks.
Kristi Cook:But it was like her and Hailey were both wearing like suit vibes. I liked Kendall's after party look.
Alex Dry:I said it in a.
Kristi Cook:TikTok. She was wearing this hat and I was like I liked that better than what she wore to the Met Gala. But honestly, that happens a lot of the time where their after-party look like slays.
Alex Dry:Slays.
Kristi Cook:Maybe because they can actually pick it out, true, and then what they wear at the Met, like sometimes it's like the designer's influence.
Alex Dry:Yeah, and I feel like it's a little bit more sexy like chill vibes the after party look so. I mean it probably goes along with more of it was good style.
Kristi Cook:Katy Perry's like AI. Look, I was like, oh my, I actually like really liked it, like I thought she was there for a second. I was like she really ate with that and then it wasn't even her it wasn't real, no, but she posted it on Instagram. She was like here you guys, like my mom, like got tricked by the AI again, oh, my gosh unbiased opinion, but I am not a katie perry fan I feel like you're not alone in that.
Kristi Cook:Everyone's like hating on her right now. I feel like if she never went to space, though, nobody would be coming down on her as hard right now about her tour yeah, I feel like she would just kind of like be like in the background, like doing her thing and being silly, and the people that get it get it. Yeah, but because she went to space, everyone's looking at her and they're like what is going on?
Alex Dry:Do you think Katy Perry actually went to space?
Kristi Cook:I know people don't think that they went because like something about like the door opened from the inside and they don't believe that they actually went. I don't know, I'm like such a dumb thing to like lie about going to space, but also like what's the point of going for like 10 minutes? I think when they first announced that they were all going, I was thinking it was going to be like this bigger mission or something than like just touchdown yeah. Just like some space tourism.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:But yeah, I don't know, they were just making it such a spectacle like the first, like all ladies flight crew. I'm like oh, okay, um, this is sounding really important. And then, like that day I'm hearing, it was just like a couple minutes and I was like what was the point of that? For them to take a selfie and, like she announced, her like tour, like set list. I was like what she's like.
Kristi Cook:I'm the first artist to ever like announce my set list in space and I was like well, I mean like yeah, because like who's getting that opportunity?
Alex Dry:yeah, also. That's the only reason why I think it might be a little bit fake is or a PR stunt is because why spend all of that money? I'm all for feminism, like women empowerment and you know, that whole crew going, but it's just you're spending all that money to go up there for 15 minutes and then just come back down and they're like kissing the ground, like yeah, I was like nobody made you go.
Kristi Cook:You're acting like you put your life on the line yeah I think it had been different, because some people were saying, like one of the women that went had worked with in nasa and she just like when are you getting the opportunity to go to space? I think that's so different. If it was people that had worked their whole lives and never got the chance to be in space, that's super cool, but it's like Katy Perry and Gayle King. What are we? How did we get the invite?
Alex Dry:Is it?
Kristi Cook:because we know, jeff, or what what's the deal here You're the number one spender on Amazon. You get to go to space Like is that what it takes. I don't know.
Alex Dry:It's so funny, Do you think? Do you believe in aliens?
Kristi Cook:I feel like there's got to be something else out there I'm like we're so advanced over here. We cannot be like the only ones that like figured something out. But, I don't know.
Alex Dry:Yeah, figured something out, I don't know.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, have you heard about the whole Antarctica, about how, like you, they don't know what's like beyond. Oh, my boyfriend's like obsessed with this, like stuff. He's like I love it. What is over there? He likes those conspiracy theories. Yeah, and we just watched Paradise.
Alex Dry:Oh my gosh.
Kristi Cook:It's Paradise. And then there was something else Every show right now feels like it's end of the world. Selective people get to live in the community type of vibe. And it's been having like dreams about this too. I'm like, stop, you're going to manifest it. And it's like so scary because I'm like not Kim Kardashian enough to like be invited into the bubble, Like I'm going to die Like that. That show was crazy.
Alex Dry:And I was so happy they're doing season two. I loved the show and then also everyone was reporting about, you know, like blackouts and certain things like that, and then going along with the fires. I always say that any real or not reality, any shows that are coming out are kind of at any window to what like is going to happen.
Alex Dry:I don't know if it's going to be like to that extreme. But it is interesting that a lot of the shows that are coming out are like almost end of the world. It's like end of the world. Like inner city vibes.
Kristi Cook:Yes, and it's also like class too, because it's like only a certain amount of people are getting to go into the safe space.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:And everyone else is just like on their own yeah.
Alex Dry:Nobody cares, yeah, and everyone else is just like on their own.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, nobody cares. I'm like how, how do I get invited to the bunker? Literally, I want to be invited to the bunker.
Alex Dry:I know I'm from Texas. I was telling my dad we should build a bunker.
Kristi Cook:I'm like legitimately saying this, I'm like I think I need one, but then I'm like I don't want to be like stuck in, like a tiny bunker eating like space food I know space food but I'm like, I'm like these are like real things that people are legitimately like prepared for. I know, and I know there's like some bigger plan in hollywood. I'm sure there is. This is like me, deep in the conspiracies.
Alex Dry:I just feel like it's real, I know no, but the whole antar Antarctica thing is crazy because people have reported that they have tried to go there. I know that Red Bull, their team, they went or tried to go and they were met with FBI or like military planes stopping them. Oh, a lot of people have said that.
Kristi Cook:That's nuts. Like to see what else?
Alex Dry:It's beyond it. It's giving game a throne. It's the bunker. The bunker is there?
Kristi Cook:the hollywood and elite bunker is on the other side of the wall or aliens, maybe that they're like testing or keeping from us. I don't know, there's so much there's something over there and it's freaking me out yeah, it's crazy, I think kylie jenner's like building a house right now, or one of the Kardashian sisters is building a house and they said that a bunker was being built.
Alex Dry:It was like four bedroom bunker.
Kristi Cook:I'm like you guys, like it's real. They know something.
Alex Dry:I know, they know something. Are you a Kardashian fan?
Kristi Cook:I feel like I like keeping up with the Kardashians. Yeah, I'm like I like them.
Alex Dry:People like hate them but I just find them fascinating.
Kristi Cook:I like talking about the Kardashians. I like consuming the Kardashian content because I just I don't know they're interesting. I've liked the show. I've watched it forever. Now I feel like it's a little bit more produced than it was before. I liked it when they were just like silly and fun and now I do feel like, because of social media, we see everything that they're gonna talk about, yeah, before they're talking about on the show. So when you're watching you're like, okay, that was like then. I wish Kylie would put Timmy on the show. I need to see her and Timothee Chalamet on the show, like yesterday. I'm obsessed with them. I know everyone hates them or everyone, but a lot of people don't like them.
Kristi Cook:I think, they're so cute I think that they're cute. Like all the edits that I'm seeing. I'm like, no, like they're cute yeah.
Alex Dry:Is there any recent like celebrity tea on them? On them. I don't really keep up.
Kristi Cook:I think Kanye is like trying to threaten to sue Kim, but it's like over the kids. I think Kanye is like trying to threaten to sue Kim, but it's like over the kids and I'm like I fear you have not proven that you should be the one to like parent them. I think it should be.
Kristi Cook:Kim and Kylie and Timmy made their couple carpet debut recent, I thought it was going to be at the Met Gala, but it was at some award show in Italy, I think, yeah, and I watched one of, like, the lip readers talk about it last night and he was. She was like I'm coming and he was like yeah, I was like wait, I because, like I'm seeing the pictures, thinking like it's calculated, so planned, the Kardashians know exactly what they're doing, but I'm like wait. In the moment, he was just like I want her to come and take these pictures with me.
Alex Dry:Yeah it's so cute.
Kristi Cook:I think it's cute yeah, I like them.
Alex Dry:Are you a Justin Bieber fan?
Kristi Cook:I do like Justin Bieber, but I'm like what is going on? Justin, yeah, I feel like they're and I like him and Hailey. I know people don't like them, but I like them together. I feel like there's no way he could be with Selena. I feel like the two of them are toxic together. I feel like there's no way he could be with Selena. I feel like the two of them are toxic together. They're both like the same, almost Like they're kind of like wild cards, so they both need someone. That's like keeping them grounded.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:I feel like Benny is keeping Selena grounded and Hailey is keeping Justin grounded. Yeah, to an extent. Right now, I'm like I don't know what's going on. I think he's just making so many things right now, like he's working on his album. He's putting out this clothing line. I think he's in this like artistic, like everything has such deep meaning, I need to share it with the world. So he's like spam posting everywhere and it looks like he's crazy when I feel like he's just like in the zone or something. Yeah.
Alex Dry:You were at Coachella, did you see him? I wish.
Kristi Cook:I saw him. I wanted to so badly, but no, we went to go see. Who did we go to see? We went to Yeet and him and Haley were there, but like we were just like more like in the back and like they were like over here, and we saw later that they were like literally at the barricade and I'm like dang, we gotta see them.
Alex Dry:Yeah, no, I love Justin and Hailey together. I was a Hailey Bieber or Hailey Baldwin fan before they even got together. I think they definitely ground each other. I think she's, so she has such calming energy.
Kristi Cook:I think she's good for him. Yeah, I think she's, so she has such calming energy, I think, she's good for him. Yeah, I think that she's what he needs.
Alex Dry:Yeah, and I think Justin, I mean he's been in the spotlight for so long and I mean it's come out. He's gone through a lot of shit yeah. So I'm like, give the poor guy a break after everything he's been through. If he wants to have fun and, you know, post crazy things, whatever. I think he's just messing with the media.
Kristi Cook:I think to be honest, being like in the zone working on R just putting out whatever Like he's like got this spam account that has like millions of followers. Yeah, I feel like that's just like how he's treating it.
Alex Dry:Yeah, I think he's just messing with people because he's so sick of paparazzi and everything making him to be a certain way so I think he's like oh, I'm gonna give it back to you guys, and you have been doing this for years. So I'm gonna you know, yeah, I'm gonna just mess with it.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, because he's he posts Haley and, like I don't know, they seem good they were at Coachella having fun.
Alex Dry:So yeah, I don't know yeah, I couldn't imagine being in the spotlight to that extent. I know like they literally couldn't go anywhere at even at Coachella.
Kristi Cook:I saw a video of them like trying to get coffee and it was oh my gosh, I know, and then everyone was trying to go to that coffee place after that's so funny.
Alex Dry:and then you went to Stagecoach. Yes, how was that?
Kristi Cook:I think I'm a Coachella girl, but also I just feel like Stagecoach was more like worky, but when I was there I was like why is it feeling more exclusive than Coachella?
Kristi Cook:Like every single place that I went, everyone was getting denied. They're like you need an extra wristband if you want to be in this section and I was like what I'm like why is this like way more intense? After the second day, there were like all of these posters that had like all these different wristbands on it and they were like you need to have like one of these to be here, here and here. And I'm like. I literally just like went up to the man. I was like where can I go? Like where am I help?
Alex Dry:me. I know I feel like almost stagecoach is turning into the new Coachella of what Coachella used to be. It was packed and everyone was talking about I was like dang like, okay, I guess I'm gonna go and yeah.
Kristi Cook:I wanted to see Lana so, and apparently everybody else wanted to see Lana too and she was like on the small stage. I was like I needed her to be on the main stage because it was just like too much yeah, it was packed.
Kristi Cook:We tried to go through the back because we went artists, but yeah, they wouldn't even let us do that way yeah, I had artists guests and they were like if you don't know, lana Del Rey, you're not getting in this game and like the guy was on such a power trip and I saw him say no to literally everyone, like all these celebrities they were trying to get in and they were like but I'm artists. I'm artists even like the golden voice, people that work for like stagecoach.
Alex Dry:Yeah, we're standing like around me and they couldn't even get it yeah, it was really like friends and family, only at the front, oh my gosh, we probably saw each other honestly, because I was getting denied there too and the next day they had barricaded it off like you couldn't even go and like attempt to be like they had, like posters of like all the wristbands that it was nuts like they really were gatekeeping it, like we speaking of going back Addison Rae at Coachella.
Kristi Cook:I saw her at stagecoach. At stagecoach, I saw her at stagecoach it was the second day I saw her walk into the rose garden and I was just like oh my gosh. And then I was like you know what? I just like need it, I need to say something. I need to be like oh my god, like this is like so crazy. And she was like alone. She's like taking pictures of the roses. Oh my, it's like this is like so crazy and she was like alone. She's like taking pictures of the roses. Oh my, just hanging out, just having a stroll through the rose garden, no big deal.
Alex Dry:Like a little fairy or something.
Kristi Cook:I was like Addison, like the rebrand, so good. She was like thanks. And I was just like dude, like I was just stunned. I was like I don't even need a picture, like I just needed to be like the rebrand is so it's off the charts, girl.
Alex Dry:Yeah, so you're a fan.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, I feel like I don't know what she did, but her leaving the internet for like a period of time and then leaking her music, like gave her her career. And also being in with Charlie before Charlie like blew up with Brat Summer it was. It was so good.
Alex Dry:Yeah, it was good. The only rebuttal I did have is her outfit at Coachella?
Kristi Cook:I don't think I saw the Coachella Are you talking about when she came out on stage?
Alex Dry:Yeah, when she was like screaming yeah with the polka dots.
Kristi Cook:I mean the stagecoach outfit. She was like in a zip-up and like maybe sweatpants no makeup.
Alex Dry:I was like damn girl slay, like she did not care she was like I'm just here.
Kristi Cook:I'm here for the roses and the vibes love yeah, did you.
Alex Dry:You saw her at Coachella.
Kristi Cook:I saw her when she came out with Charlie.
Alex Dry:Okay, yeah was it what everyone made it out to be?
Kristi Cook:what did everyone make it out to be? That they didn't like it. Yeah, um well they just a lot of screaming yeah, I mean I get, but like that's like her in the song, she like screams in that song. I feel like I expected Addison to come out, just because I'm like who else is she gonna bring out? Maybe she'll bring out Troy again. But I just felt like Addison was going to come out so I wasn't surprised. But nothing beats weekend one, with Charlie bringing out Lorde and Billy and Troy.
Kristi Cook:I literally just like almost shit my pants. It was just like the best, most iconic set ever and I had like the best group around me, love. And then weekend two I was like you know what, I'm just happy to be here again. And when Addison came I didn't even think Addison was going to come out, because I think she did the song without her like right when she came out. And then they did it again together.
Alex Dry:And.
Kristi Cook:I was almost like, oh, she's not going to bring anyone out. And then it was Addison and I was like OK. And everyone was just like oh my God, like no, we wanted more, we wanted Lord, I'm like Lord was not going to come out again. Yeah, but I'm happy for Addison.
Alex Dry:It really does make a difference, though, whenever you go to these festivals. If you guys haven't been to, like Stagecoach or Coachella, who you're with?
Kristi Cook:Yes.
Alex Dry:And the vibes around you, it can really make or break the festival completely.
Kristi Cook:A hundred percent. I've gone with different groups like almost every year, yeah, and it really is like who you're with and who you're like going to each set with. That really makes it because you could just be standing there like or you could be like raging Vibing out yeah. Dancing yeah.
Alex Dry:I'm a huge country fan. So being from Dancing, yeah, I'm a huge country fan. So being from Texas, yeah. So the last day when Luke Combs came out, Okay, yeah.
Kristi Cook:You had left right, I had left.
Alex Dry:But he just sounded so good live. I think he sounds better live than his album. So we were just vibing out, just running around frolicking, dancing, but I went with a good group of friends and I'm like my brother and cousin. So, yeah, no, it definitely makes, or?
Kristi Cook:breaks it, did you see, zach bryan? I did I love his music so much, and then I'm like, I'm like oh my god, but like brianna, jake and bryan.
Alex Dry:Oh my gosh, the whole drama.
Kristi Cook:The whole drama I'm like, oh my God, I can't look at you the same, but these songs are so good it's like ridiculous. But then the second, on Saturday Jelly Roll was like and he kept bringing out everyone.
Alex Dry:I love Jelly Roll. It was so good. I'm obsessed with him. Just him as a person makes his music better. Makes his music better.
Kristi Cook:I was like. I felt like I was at church or something. He's like if you believe in second chances. Yeah, I was like, okay, all right yeah.
Alex Dry:Yeah, and then Bailey Zimmerman came out. Was it with Jelly?
Kristi Cook:Roll. It might have been with Luke Combs.
Alex Dry:I think with Luke Combs because I'm like I don't remember that he was off of his rocker Like he love the vibes. He was like lifting up his shirt, like flashing everyone.
Kristi Cook:Oh my.
Alex Dry:God, it was so funny. But yeah, he's like the only single country artist.
Kristi Cook:Is he single?
Alex Dry:Really.
Kristi Cook:Dang, what's going on?
Alex Dry:Yeah, I think he's like the only one besides Riley Green.
Kristi Cook:Huh, which Like? Maybe he's like an F boy. Yeah, like John Mayer, did you see the Backstreet Boys?
Alex Dry:No, I had left.
Kristi Cook:I feel like that's a lot of people that didn't like country but went to stagecoach were like I'm only going to see the Backstreet.
Alex Dry:Boys, backstreet Boys, and I was like whoa, okay or T-Pain.
Kristi Cook:Yes.
Alex Dry:I think T-P, claire Shabuzy, nelly, nelly and then Mumford Sons did a pop-up. A lot of people came for Lana. Yeah, wait, this is. I saw this recently. I was like, oh, maybe she doesn't know this. The Beyonce are you a Beyonce fan?
Kristi Cook:Yes.
Alex Dry:Okay.
Kristi Cook:But I didn't go to the tour.
Alex Dry:I know I love Beyonce as an artist, but I don't really know how I feel about her and Jay-Z. That whole drama, the one show.
Kristi Cook:I saw Beyonce at Coachella, the iconic performance and then I saw her when she went on tour with Jay-Z and they were playing all these videos of her and the twins and I was like, oh my god, I love this. I was like I'm gonna put this all behind me and I'm not even going to like remember even though she's like singing these songs about like him, like cheating on her and like he's like right there.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, but I would have gone to this tour, but it was like right after Coachella, I was like I did Coachella, coachella, stagecoach. I was like a girl needs'm gonna see it on my phone and I feel like I was there because I was seeing all the clips of it. I was seeing roomie everyone talking about blue.
Alex Dry:I'm like it's like I was there yeah, I got invited but I didn't attend it. She kind of gives me like a little bit like santanic vibes, what I know. We're gonna get canceled, I know it's okay, but she is, I guess, getting sued, oh yes, by the sphere.
Kristi Cook:I saw the video of what she played at the show where she walks up. It's like the animation of Beyonce in Vegas. And then she lifts up this sphere that is most definitely, most definitely like the sphere in Vegas, and then they, like, sued her for it yeah, which I don't even. Yeah, I don't know.
Alex Dry:I don't know all the ins and outs of it. But I definitely thought it was interesting because I was like okay, you can sue for using a sphere.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, because I'm like I don't get it. I'm okay, like, yeah, it looks like the sphere, but she could also just say it's a sphere. Yeah, I don't know it was. I think they said that they were they like beef or something. She was going to try to do a residency, yeah so, like, maybe that's why they sued her, because they were just like oh, like you're gonna use our like image to promo when you didn't want to do a deal with us, or who knows how it all went down.
Kristi Cook:But I'm like now people are talking about the sphere.
Alex Dry:I know, so whatever Free promo from Beyonce. Exactly, okay. Well, is there any more celebrity tea that?
Kristi Cook:I mean I'm always tuned in on the Blake and Justin lawsuit and what's going on there and, like this week, they subpoenaed Taylor Swift. Oh and so everyone's like oh my gosh, like is she going to have to testify? Or what is going to happen. And then, apparently, travis unfollowed Ryan Reynolds a couple weeks ago, so everyone's like are her and Blake even friends anymore. Her publicist put out a statement which they never put out, statements ever.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:And they were just like you know. They're trying to use her name just to like make their lawsuit like this much more amplified. Like Taylor Swift's name, yeah, like in like I think, just like talking about, like Justin and his team like they're just trying to like use like Taylor's name. Yeah, I don't know, it's so messy.
Alex Dry:But I heard that Taylor is the godmother to.
Kristi Cook:I know my mom was saying this to me too and I was like I don't think so, like, maybe like the last one, but I think the only person that she's like a godmother of, like their child is I don't remember her name, I think it's Jamie, but she was on Heart of Dixie, she was in White Chicks, okay.
Alex Dry:She's like an actress and she has a kid.
Kristi Cook:I don't even think they're friends anymore but, I know Taylor was like the godmother of her son, but I don't know about Blake and Ryan's kids. Yeah, that'd be crazy, because I heard it was the first two kids.
Alex Dry:She was the godmother too, but not one of them or something. Oh my god, I don't even know.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, she just like uses their names like in her songs, though. So I'm like I know they're close, they like gone trick-or-treating and stuff.
Alex Dry:I know that whole lawsuit is just so insane. It kind of made me sad because I was such a Blake Lively fan.
Kristi Cook:I like her Like die hard since Gossip Girl I know I really like her and I I still like her Like there's I mean so much being said in the lawsuit I think it's just like they both did bad things.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:Type of deal. I wish she would take like an ounce of accountability for like how like she promoted the movie, even if she doesn't view it that way, even her just being like you guys, I shouldn't have promoted the movie that way.
Kristi Cook:I think people would have been like it's, it's okay but because she's been like so just like egotistical about it, yeah, of like defending it, I'm like no, it's not coming off like the right way and like her and Ryan on SNL, like kind of making a joke of like off, like the right way, and like her and Ryan on SNL, like kind of making a joke of like what have you heard? Like what's going on. I'm like no, no, no, let's not, let's not, yeah.
Alex Dry:I do you think a lot of it has to do with Ryan, though?
Kristi Cook:I don't know. I mean like with how they're acting, right now, or how it's like, been orchestrated because maybe I feel like the two of them are like talking together and they're also talking to like people that are in their lives, that are like gassing them up, probably and they're just like in A-list like celebrity world more than Justin of course they got him dropped from yeah, wme, so so I just feel like they feel like they're in the right and that the public is wrong, and that Justin is like continuing to ruin their reputation in the media.
Kristi Cook:I think like they've had a hand in it too, though.
Alex Dry:Oh a thousand percent, and Justin is not playing. He has come out, anything that they've brought to the table. He's come out with hard evidence. I mean when he released that video, oh my gosh. Or the website, yeah, the table. He's come out with hard evidence.
Kristi Cook:I mean when he released that video, oh my gosh, or the website, yeah the website.
Alex Dry:That was crazy.
Kristi Cook:And when he released that video that was like this was the scene that she said that I was inappropriate. I was like oh, no like it doesn't look like what you wrote, girl. No, it's not looking like what I was reading in your complaint and then they like changed their complaint. I was like it just doesn't look good.
Alex Dry:I'm like, really I'm trying to root for you girl, but I know and the fact they pushed the law or the trial date, you know it's like 2028 or 2029 or something crazy I thought it was next year.
Kristi Cook:No, I think they pushed it I know that they're they've been trying to get it dismissed. I'm like it's just not happening. Everyone's like fighting way too hard yeah yeah it's a disaster but I'm locked in every week. I'm like there's a new update, like I need to read it.
Alex Dry:I know I need to watch and stay updated with you because I just get lost in it. And then I see all these different opinions and then I'm just like okay, I just so I have it. And then I see all these different opinions and then I'm just like okay. I just so I have such a filter on it because I just like love Blake Lively, yeah, as an actress or like things that I've seen and I also love Ryan Reynolds Like their relationship was so cute before it's crazy Everyone thought that they were goals.
Alex Dry:Yes.
Kristi Cook:I remember when everyone was looking forward to her at the met gala, like her outfits, like she was always like going above and beyond and everyone loved it like when she had that like red red, look the one that like switched colors. But now I'm like, oh my gosh, like what happened, like you literally went from being like someone, like everyone loved and loved her humor and like her and Ryan's, humor together and now everyone's like cringing at everything that they say yeah but I'm like I don't think that she would lie about something like happening yeah.
Kristi Cook:I just I'm like oh, my god yeah, it's so hard.
Alex Dry:It's so hard to take a stance because, yeah, I'm like there's.
Kristi Cook:You want to be like a woman?
Alex Dry:you want to like be on the woman's side too with those accusations, but it's like I do think like things happen on set.
Kristi Cook:That he was like weird or like she had interpreted it as like weird, because there's other people that are also saying he was weird right, which is like leading me to believe, like something was interpreted, like maybe in his mind it wasn't coming off that way, but to them yeah. Just being because they were also tying it to his religion and things that he would say yeah.
Kristi Cook:And I'm like ugh you guys. But then he's like she tried to take the movie. I'm like I don't think I guess like the part that I'm so confused by is like she wanted to take the movie. So bad, like why doesn't her and Ryan like not make their own movies? Right, I'm like why they have all this money. Sydney Sweeney's out here making movies. She's a production company. Margot Robbie made Barbie. Like I'm like where is their production company where they're making stuff? Yeah, that's where I'm like a little lost upon.
Alex Dry:Yeah, that's where I'm like a little lost upon. Yeah, and the other main actor that was in it, the guy, what was his name? The really cute one.
Kristi Cook:In, it Ends With Us. Yeah, oh, brian Sklenar.
Alex Dry:Brian Sklenar. Brian Sklenar. Yeah, so he. I guess they were in another movie together prior or they were doing some, I don't know, like press about some movie and they did like a whole recap of his faces when blake was talking about it did you see that?
Kristi Cook:recent? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's. Yeah, he's in a movie and he was also in like the yellowstone spinoff that's what I know he from.
Alex Dry:He's so cute.
Kristi Cook:I know I like him. Yeah, I like him they were coming for him because he's Team Blake. But like the whole cast is on her side, like that is so telling to me yeah, but everyone's like it's because she's like Blake Lively. Yeah, oh it's so hard they're like they don't, Don't say anything. That was so crazy.
Alex Dry:Oh my gosh.
Kristi Cook:I can't believe that that happened.
Alex Dry:So what is your most, or who has been your most shocking celebrity encounter, or your favorite, I guess?
Kristi Cook:I feel like people always ask oh, living in LA, who have you seen? Or whatnot? I'm like I don't know, I guess. Well, I went to a Hulu event the other day where they were talking about the new shows coming out and then they had, like they had given no information on what it was gonna be like. And we get there and I'm like asking, like the people that are working the event, I'm like you guys like know when this is gonna end?
Alex Dry:Or like you, know what's the itinerary.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, and then they're like I don't know, but like we hear like a Kardashian is going to be here Like the family is going to be here I'm like what?
Kristi Cook:I'm like, oh, okay, I'm sticking around, cause I was going to go to like a screening that night too, and then I was like, okay, I'm here all day and then, yeah, chloe and Scott came out and then they were filming the show oh wow, that at the event and then it was like all these other Hulu shows, so they had, like the secret lives of Mormon wives. There Scott's talking to the Mormon wives oh god, I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't even believe I'm witnessing this. Like they're filming the show right now and what like. In a year I'm actually gonna get to watch the episode that was kind of crazy.
Alex Dry:I do think that Scott and Chloe's relationship I love it.
Kristi Cook:I love it and like that day I posted a TikTok to you and I was like I know it's wrong, but like I want them together really.
Alex Dry:No, I don't like.
Kristi Cook:I know it's wrong, but like but like in my heart it's right, it it's like so sick, like I wish they like didn't have like kids Like.
Alex Dry:I wish like.
Kristi Cook:Scott just like didn't have kids with Courtney because it's like that is so wrong, but I like them together.
Alex Dry:I feel like it's giving brother-sister vibes to me. It is, it is. I think that Khloe maybe is on a little bit higher frequency than Scott is. Yeah, as far as, like, her healing journey because she's been through so much shit, Whereas Scott, I mean, I think he's getting there Like it seems like he's working on it.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, I like that he's still in the family, but I don't think he's on the same caliber yeah, it's super cute, love that. Yeah, but I like them Also like yeah, it's super cute, love that. Yeah, but I like. I like them also like ever like everyone from dancing with the stars was there, the bachelor cast was there and everyone's like mingling in front of me and I'm like, how am I here right now?
Alex Dry:yeah, what do you think of the Mormon wives show? I saw some of them at stagecoach.
Kristi Cook:I like them. I think the show was like so much bigger than I think anyone thought it was gonna be. The the drama was huge on TikTok. Yeah, huge and then them being like so open, like on season one, and everyone, it became like a whole spectacle all over again. I didn't think they were even going to do season two because I felt like they like hated each other after. And there was so much drama, but they're all back for that check.
Alex Dry:Yeah, my family lived in Utah for a bit of time other after and there was so much drama. But they're all back for that check.
Kristi Cook:yeah, my family lived in utah for a bit of time and so I want to go to swig so bad oh my gosh.
Alex Dry:I was talking to some of them like, okay, obviously they're a mormon, you know. So what does a mormon community think about this? They must be, and they were just like, oh, they were up in arms about it.
Kristi Cook:I'm sure they're so pissed, yeah, but also I feel like it's bringing light to a different you know like religion community. Yeah, because some of them are like they're wearing the garments and stuff and they're talking openly about that, and then some of them have broken away from religion, so it's like there's a lot of stuff I didn't know about that they're telling me on that show.
Alex Dry:The only stuff I knew was from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake. City because of Heather how she like stepped out of the Mormon religion and she was talking about it.
Kristi Cook:But besides that, like I know I'm like they don't drink coffee.
Alex Dry:Oh, they drink like Coke or something.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, I'm like that's why all the soda shops are over there. I'm like Coke or something. Yeah, I'm like that's why all the soda shops are over there. I'm like I want to go to those soda shops. They had a Swig pop-up at the Hulu thing and I was like this is the best day ever.
Alex Dry:Oh my God, I want to try the dirty sodas. Did you try it?
Kristi Cook:Yeah, it was pretty good. It was like a pina colada vibe.
Alex Dry:It's giving. Okay, I'm like, oh, I do have a question. Have you ever falsely reported on a subject?
Kristi Cook:For sure. Or like there's definitely been times where I'm like jumping the gun a little bit, like I see something, and then I'm like, oh wait, no, no, no, no, no, but now. But I feel like that was like in the early days, where it's like anything that was said, you just like talk about it.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:Now I definitely think I'm more cautious of like, let me make sure, and if it's not a hundred percent, then I need to like say that Cause, like with last night when I was seeing those pages from Catherine's book, I literally made a TikTok. I was like, oh my gosh, she said this, this and this, but then I just like put it in my drafts, yeah. And then I get on my computer and I'm like, let me like actually go and like try to find it.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:And I'm seeing like the pre-save link, all this stuff, and I'm like where is like the sample that everyone's talking about?
Alex Dry:of the book.
Kristi Cook:I'm like I can't find it. I'm like on reddit and people are like oh, I went on like apple and like this, this and this and someone's like. I guess they like took it down.
Alex Dry:I'm like okay, well no, yeah, do you think maybe she had a ghostwriter and the ghostwriter accidentally released?
Kristi Cook:I think she did, because it's not just her name on the title of the book yeah. I think she told her story and then this person wrote it for her but his name is also on there, but I think I have seen it before where you go on like google and you can like read like the first chapter for free. I'm like I could see that being a thing.
Kristi Cook:But then, also like some of the pages are like blurry and like someone else is like it looks like chat and I'm like oh, my gosh, I'm second guessing myself. So then I like redid the whole TikTok where I'm like Catherine announced she's coming out with the book. This is what people are saying is in the first three chapters, but like I don't know, like a hundred percent.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:So I feel like I'm just like super cautious now of like is this like for real?
Alex Dry:Yeah, yeah unless I'm seeing it like on their page right, sorry, this like air is like making my eyes dry, like oh no, like water. I'm like it's gonna look like I'm crying. Um, no, I mean that's like the whole thing. I feel like you always I mean they were telling me always say allegedly but yeah, you're never. There's always going to be like some false things that come out, but you probably get so much hate, or do you like get so much hate, like in your DMs or messages for reporting, or is it mostly support? I feel like now.
Kristi Cook:I try to just take like neutral ground of like this is what's being said, and like this is what's being said, and like this is what people are saying on both sides. I'm like and like. Leave it up to like. What do you think about this whole thing? Okay but before I would for sure just kind of be like more opinionated and then like people would obviously have like more to say. I feel like on TikTok, when I'm reporting things quickly, I'll give my opinion yeah but it just depends what I'm talking about.
Kristi Cook:But I'm like I hate being wrong, like if something's wrong, I'm like, oh my god, like. I need to take it down like this is not yeah especially since you've shown face.
Alex Dry:Probably now you've had to be a little bit more neutral, or are you? Do you still remain?
Kristi Cook:even like before. Then I was like trying to be more neutral just because I'm like I wanted it to be more of a news outlet and not so much commentary. I think on short form it is more commentary, but that's just. It's like more fun on there yeah, but I wanted the YouTube stuff, like the long form, to be just a place to be like what the heck is going on? I just need to know from start to finish yeah the drama, and then I can like tell my friends and we can talk about it.
Alex Dry:Have you thought about doing like red carpet hosting or anything like that I used to do it a lot like before YouTube stuff.
Kristi Cook:I like did freelance, where I would like go on the carpets and interview people, and I would like to do that more. I've done it a little bit. People, and I would like to do that more. I've done it a little bit okay and and like kind of just like trying to go back more into that? Yeah, like doing short form stuff and interviewing artists and.
Kristi Cook:I like a podcast that I'm working on. That's like. Hopefully will be like released soon, because it's been like a year that we've been like trying to do this thing and we've interviewed people for that, so I'm all I'm hoping that, yeah, more stuff like that comes around tell us about your newest project.
Alex Dry:Who's worth the ticket?
Kristi Cook:who's worth the ticket is like a newer project that I'm actually able to talk about because it's like up and running, but I've been seeing so many like man on the street interviews of like artists like in New.
Alex Dry:York or they're like.
Kristi Cook:Charlie, tell me what you're wearing. And I'm like there's like nothing like that happening in LA and I was. I just wanted to do something related to the music industry. I'm going to all these concerts, I'm going to the festivals.
Kristi Cook:I'm like I just need a place where I can post all this like music related content and also try and like interview people too, so that's been really exciting to just meet with like artists that I love and like and I don't know just like post it for fun, yeah who is your favorite people that you've interviewed so far? I got to interview Hope Tala at Coachella which was so fun. I was just like I can't even believe. I'm like interviewing someone. That's like performing at Coachella.
Kristi Cook:I never could have like imagined that. So that was really fun. Let's see. And then I did Trisha Paytas' podcast and then we shot like a little interview afterwards. So that was super fun. I was like so happy she was down to do that and it like worked out because she had just put out a new song and like a music video coming out right that week. So, yeah, that lined up and yeah, I'm hoping for more people, just keep doing more people.
Alex Dry:Did you do any one at Stagecoach?
Kristi Cook:No, I like plan to maybe. But, honestly like that weekend was such a blur.
Alex Dry:Yeah.
Kristi Cook:I was like went super late on Friday and then Saturday I was like at an event before I even went to the festival and honestly, the whole time I was just like what the heck Like?
Alex Dry:what? What is this place?
Kristi Cook:I'm like it looks like all backwards from Coachella, but it was still fun. Yeah, and also like doing festival after festival after festival it gets to be so oh my gosh my feet were just ruined yeah they're still like a little bit like. My legs are still a little swollen.
Alex Dry:I got a lymphatic drainage massage and she was like, yeah, your legs are definitely swollen. I was like I need that. Yeah, oh my gosh, I have to give you her number. She comes to your house. Oh, shout, yes, shout out to Daniela, she's at Skolt, but it is. I'm such a firm believer in like natural health remedies. So lymphatic drainage is, and acupuncture too. I don't know if you do acupuncture. Oh, I've never done it. Yeah, I have to give you the number too. They're here in LA. I need to do lymphatic so bad.
Kristi Cook:I've done it a couple of times before, but yeah, that whole last month like messed me up so bad. But then I watched Jake Weber's like blog of Coachella and he showed his feet and they were like bowling balls and I was like you know, suddenly mine aren't that bad.
Alex Dry:Yeah, no, it's the people I wish I could be. I mean, I can go, go, go, but the people that are doing like the whole day festival, then the after parties till like 5, 6 am.
Kristi Cook:No, I couldn't do the afters Going.
Alex Dry:I couldn't Like. I wanted to go to Zenyara and all the different there's, like the Von Dutch.
Kristi Cook:Yeah, I had gone to Zenyara last year and then I went to some of the day stuff. But I was like last year, I tried to do everything and I just like, felt like I was dying, yeah after you just get so sick.
Alex Dry:Yeah, and that's actually something you could look into too. I think Von Dutch just got bought out by a new person, so they're doing like a full new rebranding, and so they invested a lot of money into the stagecoach party.
Kristi Cook:Interesting, Because I know they also did Coachella too.
Alex Dry:I think I think they did, yeah, yeah.
Kristi Cook:Because I went to something for stagecoach and they had like the Von Dutch stuff there.
Alex Dry:Mm-hmm.
Kristi Cook:But it was like it just like so happened to be on the same property, but it like was from the past.
Alex Dry:Yeah, no, they did like a full, like like crazy insane party. So I don't know what they're gonna do with it, but supposedly I'm like brain bondage back I used to wear when I was in like middle school I'm probably older they had like a festival resurgence, because I was hearing about it like every freaking day yeah, well, is there anything else that you want to chat about?
Kristi Cook:I don't know, I'm like I know I'm like. It goes by so quickly I'm like I could go on forever, but yeah, I feel like that was like the gist okay yeah, cool.
Alex Dry:Well, thank you for coming on, thank you thanks for having me.
Kristi Cook:I'm happy we finally got to do this.
Alex Dry:I know same. We've been hitting, missing each other. We tried to do stagecoach, then we tried to do Saturday it. It didn't work, so we finally sat down. But also, where can everyone follow and find you?
Kristi Cook:I am Spill Sesh on like literally everything, so that's where I am for the latest on all things happening on the internet.
Alex Dry:And then where can they find who's your Ticket?
