Your Duolingo is not going to come back to you when a man is inside of you. Oh no! I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Chelsea Hamler from Dear Chelsea. Every week the news gets worse. The world gets crazier and Yamannika is here to tell whoever's responsible you're the problem. Do you know I just found out who Sidney Swini was? If he got a bunch of women, then I should have a bunch of men. Do better or do less so I don't have to do so much. I'm Yamannika and I'm out. Listen to your problem with Yamannika on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. [Music] Hoody Ho, this is George. I'm going to cut right to the chase folks. As of right now, Sam Taggart is halfway through his stand up tour and I, George Sveris, am about to start my stand up tour. So if you want to see Sam on tour, he has a few dates left. DC Philly, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Boston. You can go to linktree.com/Sam Taggart. And if you want to see me on tour, starting later this month in LA East Hampton, Chicago, Boston, Philly, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, and a few more dates that I'm adding soon, you can go to linktree.com/GeorgeSveris. That is L-I-N-K-T-R-E-E.com/ either Sam Taggart or George Sveris, depending on which one of us you want to see. And I'm going to be honest, some of these dates are selling out. So I would act fast. We cannot wait to see you on the road. We are having so much fun touring. And that's pretty much it. Enjoy the show. Podcast starts now. What is up everyone around the globe? This is straight-o-lab. Wow. And we both feel George said he feels like he's on MDMA. I forget because of the Madonna album, what's the real word? The Madonna album is MDNA, which is not real. Well, it is real. It's her album. Okay. And MD. You can listen to it on Spotify, Apple Music. So the album is invented by Madonna. So it's just sort of. Well, it's MDNA is interesting because it's like, okay, so obviously there's all these puns. It's MDMA. It's Modena. But then it's also MDNA, like Madonna's DNA. And it's one of those things that like obviously when she thought of it, it's like, well, this is too good not to use. But you actually have to know, even though it has three meanings, it's still not a good album title. You have to be able to be like, that was really funny what I just thought of, but I shouldn't use it. Well, it's sort of. I'm obviously against focus groups when it comes to your artistic practices. But there are some things where you do need like 10 people to witness it and be like, but legit is it good? Yeah, like the group chat, as they say. Except of course you can't trust any of those vultures they want to see you fail. Well, can you imagine Madonna's group chat literally circa 2012? It was just a bunch of gay guys, all of them on MDMA responding, like, yes, you gagged it bitch. I mean, this is the hard part. I can't imagine being famous to the point where everyone is a sh- not ashamed of you, afraid of you. You know what's for- why her a difficult truth? Uh-huh. Convenient truth, as Al Gore once said. Uh-oh. I believe Madonna needed a straight guy, Stewart Price, to get her back on track because all the gay guys were two yes men. And I think actually that's a genius point. I think it could be a genius point, but I think more so Stewart Price based on not knowing him at all is a master manipulator. You think he is? I think he's sort of like Madonna would say something. She'd be like, hey, I think the album should be called MDNA and in a theoretical conversation. If he were to have produced that album, which he couldn't have because he has too much taste to produce an album called MDNA, but gone. So he would be like, I think I'm going to call this and he'd be like, that's a really good idea. However, I want you know what I'm loving? This, this other word that you mentioned to me at dinner last night. Yeah, she hasn't even mentioned it. He made it to just something he thought of. Yeah, I think he's sometimes I think that type of manipulation is what someone who's famous needs because they need you to say yes, but then you can also flip it and say something new. Flip it and reverse it. Yeah. Should we bring our guests? Of course. What's your name again? So our guest. My name is MDNA. Oh my God. That is a beautiful name. Yeah, I've just been hearing you guys sort of talk about like it's value or not. I love your name. Thanks. Can I suggest Mary Beth Barone? Oh, that's a really good idea. And you were talking about that last night that that's one of your other ideas you had for me. I do want to point out one thing, which was that I was invited out of the podcast and I was provided a cup and a shot. Well, there's sparkling water here. I don't even want it. We asked you four times. We actually asked you so many times. It's just funny. I was pointing out some funny observation. A straw and a cup. It's just funny. It's just funny that that's out. It's like I didn't even want anything, but now that I see an empty cup. I'm like, maybe I should get and luckily we thought about that so much so that there is literally a sparkling water. I just like I like it. I'm saying I like it. It's not an attack. It's not a person. I'm just feeling a bit personally attacked. Oh, you guys need to it's not personal. I'm sure Madonna would know that you can't take everything personally. I mean, I do think imagine if Madonna did take everything said about her personally, she'd be dead. I don't know if we still have her definitely on stage. Yeah, completely. Like, probably be like on an island somewhere and maybe more people should be doing that. Should be going to an island. Yeah, just like, well, let's like take a break. Totally. Maybe we don't need to hear from everyone all the time. What are three people you would send to the big island? Oh my gosh, that's such a good question. Who's been sort of like too prolific lately? Well, this isn't people that I necessarily don't want to hear from is just people I think could use a little bit of a break. I meant literally. Right. Just like a break. So I'm going to go ahead and say the guy that made wicked. Yes. Yeah. Let's just take a tiny little break because if you're going to be helming the Britney Spears movie, you need to lock in. You have to lock in. Like this. Like we owe her so much. We've taken so much from her. I think that needs just like extra effort. Like pen to paper. Let's just like spend the time making it good. And then I would say the other two people would be Sam Taggart and George Sperr. So I'm sending Donald Trump and I'm saying we gay men to an island. And I'm just going to see what y'all think of what we all get up to. How many different album titles you can come up with from Madonna. Control all delete amazing title. That's really good. Yeah. That's how no one made an album called control all delete. But you're not serious. I think that is an album. Who's that? I don't know. Is it a. No, that's control. And scissors. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. But to me that has always like a Janet reference control. Well, I don't. Well, that's. I'm sure maybe one of the meanings. I. Oh my god. It's now it's MDNA all over again. No, really. I think maybe says I could do it trilogy where it's like control then all then delete. Whoa. There is a box set an album called control all delete by the three the robot. No one knows. That's what I meant. That was the one I was talking about. Okay. Yeah. Okay. About this island. I actually love the idea. And it seems unfair that there's not a space that we can just go to when we want to opt out. I think we need more spaces like that. We have. And we know we have no communal. Yes, but I don't want third space. I want like heaven. Like if I want to just like not pay rent for a year. Totally. No, that would be amazing. And you get to go somewhere awesome somewhere. And there's and the food is free. And like it's just sort of like you need it a year. Yeah. So it's like jail light. Jail meets mental health. Oh wait. So what is it? Yeah. Meet some the woods. - Me too. - More the beach. - The worst. - I'm thinking beach. The Wiz is not like relaxing to me. I don't want to like forage. I'm not a forager. I'm sorry if that's surprising. I don't want a forage. And I don't want to worry about bears like eating my food so you have to like hang it for a while. - I do hate that. When there's rules in the forest, I'm like, well, who's gonna teach me those? - No, do you guys see sent help the movie? - Yes. - What did you think? - I liked it. - Okay, interesting. - Did you not like it? - What? - I just instinctively-- - I really liked the first two acts. And then the end got went a little haywire. I thought it went a little haywire. - You want it. Do you feel like you don't like it when women stick up for themselves and are not well behaved? Would you say you believe well behaved women should make more history? - I actually do. I think we need more movies about well behaved women. - That's true. - It can't always be about the ones that are behaving badly, right? - Literally. - But I also just think murder to me in movies is just the line where when you do that, like I'm kind of, I'm opting out a little bit. - Oh, yeah, 'cause you're like, okay, well, if that's an option, then like anything could happen. - Sure. - Like we have to have, we have to work within limits. - Well, also it's like what actually something I struggle with with that movie is that she was a very sympathetic character and I think then she became unsympathetic. - Yeah. - So I was actually following the female journey in that movie and I just didn't like where we landed. (laughing) - I feel free to disagree. - You know what you're saying? It's like you're saying that the male writer doesn't know how to write women and that's why he makes them murder. 'Cause in his mind, he's like, that's what a woman would do. - Well, she would. - Actually, no, she wouldn't. She would probably listen to an album on her headphones. - Totally. No, yeah. - I think it's been a lot of fun on that island before the audience showed up. - I'm sorry if it's the spoiler if you haven't seen it. It's available on the online prime video. - It has been, it's available for free to all American citizens. - That's true. - That's the one on the island. - Okay, that's interesting. So I do agree about, so John Chu is directing the Britney movie? - Yeah, well that's the rumor. - You know what I think? Have you ever seen those TikToks where there's a glass that has like brown liquid and then they keep pouring water in it and it takes a while for the brown liquid to become all clear? - Oh no, I don't get that on my algorithm. - Okay, so this is something I get. - My algorithm I get this. - I get this very, not much brown liquid at all. - So I'm a very, mine is a brown liquid forward. It's mostly brown liquids of various kinds. And so this is a genre, I've been seeing this for years and every time it's the same exact thing. And I'm almost like, is this a meme or a people like thinking they're inventing it every time? But it's literally someone going, and the caption is always the same, healing takes time. And so you see a brown liquid, you're starting to pour the clear liquid. What was your scaring me? Why? - No, I can't wait to hear how this ties back to John Chu. - Well, I'll tell you how. I'll tell you how. Here's what's happening in that island, okay? Are you ready? - Yep. - Two glasses, pink, green. - Mmm. - Oh! - It's pouring clear water into them. So that wicked could leave his mind and we could have a blank slate for Brittany. - Because we need to just like divorce. He needs to divorce himself from that piece, those pieces of art, because it's just nothing to do with the next story. He's gonna be telling. - Here's something that I find complicated about Hollywood. - Mmm. - Yeah, I both think so. - So when he is select-- - The institutionalized sexual harassment. - No, well, and I'm glad, that's what I was actually gonna bring as my topic today. - Well, it's definitely straight. - It's institutionalized sexual harassment. - Exactly, it's gay. - Yeah, well, and it can be gay. - It can be gay, I've seen it. I've seen it. So when he is chosen to direct the Brittany Spears movie, I'm saying shouldn't we all have a vote? - I'm like a democracy, honey. - I'm like, so did Brittany Spears select him? Who's picking this guy? - Well, I do think they are adapting her book from what I understand. So I do think she would have maybe had a say in that, right? - Well, you know, it's a common mistake people make is thinking Brittany Spears has a say in some time. - I have to say, yeah, that's such a good point. Well, I guess if she's listening, maybe she could just drop us a line, let us know her involvement. - Yeah, thumbs up, thumbs down. - I personally, I think from what I've read online in the trades is that she is involved. - Well, I'm sure she's involved in the way that her name will be at the end. - And probably in the title, right? - Yeah. - Maybe not. - I think the character of the main character will probably be named Brittany Spears. - Brittany Spears, yeah. - We'll see. We'll see what John does with it. - And that sense she is gonna be involved. - Right. - Yeah. - I just read that book. - I did cover to cover. - Well, that doesn't take long. - I really, I really, I really, - I really, I'm a little exclusively read celebrity memoirs written by women, but I thought it was great that she had the opportunity to say her piece and then I do think that's probably what inspired Lena Dunham to write her book is like, I'm gonna speak on it. And I don't know if you guys read that book, but I read the whole thing as well. And it wasn't audiobook either. - You really love bragging about reading the whole thing. You know what I mean? - It is a whole new book. - Lena Dunham's book was long. - That's true though. - I could have done more. - I obviously. - Well, I'm done. - 'Cause my, I'm like, I liked everything about it. One complaint, I needed more about the work. - Well, that's like what I felt when I watched Up and Himmer. I wanted three more hours not in kidding. - We're huge up in Himmer. - Three more hours of that movie. I would have been happy. - You love Nolan. - Love Nolan. - Me too. - Haven't seen Odyssey yet though. - We haven't seen it. - I'm waiting 'cause I want to carve out like a day where I get a dog sitter and I can just go enjoy it and not be stressed. That's gonna probably be in August at some point. - And the listeners at home, it just came out. - Yeah, we were running. - We were running. - Right, because. - But many, many, many people have seen it. - Yes, but they are gonna be hearing this in August. - Oh, so I think I have to be. - They're fake fans. - We're not fake fans. - Yeah, yeah. I just saw the procedure on a plane. I've already talked about it, but. - God, and that's one of his best. - Phenomenal. - It's just so good. - Although, you know what must be said, the women characters are not as complex as this makes it. - Of course not. He's not, he's not, he's not. - He's a man, everything. - You know, I will say, love him. Wouldn't pick him to direct the Britney Spears. - Britney Spears. - Oh wait. - You want him to? - No, I want it. - Yeah, but then Britney would be played by Christian Bay. - And I'm asked. (laughing) - And can I just say, maybe that's not the worst idea. - I actually think he would disappear into it. - Oh my God. - This could be so awesome. It's so dark and gritty. - We're casting of the Britney Spears and we, Christian Bay. - Yeah. - And this is why we don't get a vote, Sam, by the way. - You're supposed to question why don't we get a vote 'cause of people like us. - We're biased. I actually think this is a really good idea to be honest because I think the, the instinct with the Britney movie will be rightly so as a fan of hers to like give her her flowers, so to speak. But I actually think that will come at the expense of showing the true darkness of her story. Whereas if we had the Christian bail playing her, I think you could actually go there. - Also, it's like Christopher Nolan has this opportunity to write a complex female character. - It's two birds with one stone. - I just want to say that like this could totally reinvent him as a director. - People will say, you know, okay, well then that is a job that could have gone to a female actress. But I think why not why stop there? Make Kevin Federline can be played by Kate Blanchett. - I homin exactly. Well, here's the thing with being cast as Britney. Imagine the pressure for a young girl. - Yeah. - So I think Christian Bay was a seasoned actor. He is method, he is so good. And so I actually think that having a woman in that role would probably be like, it would probably destroy someone. - I agree. - Of course. - Imagine like, yeah, it's just, I don't think a young girl would be able to navigate that. - No. - And come out with, you know, her head held high. So that's just my pitch. I guess our pitch. - Our pitch. - It's just good we have a meeting with the studio next week. (laughing) - Too bad John Chu is on that island and can't. - I can't hear. - I can't hear. - Doing the glasses. - I know, it's taking a while too. - It's a while healing takes time. - There's rockets, yeah. (upbeat music) - Hey Portlandia fans. - Carrie Brown's seen in Fred Armason here. - You know us or rather you know them. - Tony and Candace, Nina and Lance, Spike and yes, the chicken. - We've played a lot of iconic characters over the years but today we're showing up as ourselves to tell you about Podlandia, AO ReWatch, our brand new podcast. - Each week we'll revisit an episode of Portlandia from the very beginning. Breaking down the sketches, exploring the back stories of our most iconic characters, revisiting the Portland locations you know and love and opening up about our creative process. - How did any of this get made? Why do we think that was a good idea? We're ready to talk about it. - And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann and many more. - Kyle is going for it here. - I thought he was gonna write, I thought you were all gonna write a song. - I remember you thinking that. - Listen to Podlandia, AO ReWatch on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. - On Solita, we share the messy stories of traveling alone as a woman. - Your Duolingo is not going to come back to you? - When a man is inside of you. - Oh no. - I'm Julie Pinierro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. - Every time I try to be alone, I kept meaning people and they were like, you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. - I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. - It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita. - On the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. - Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. - And Sean Clements. - We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook. - The show's famously super accessible so you can easily jump into any of our 650 episodes and understand what we're doing. - We recommend some of our recent episodes with Ben Stiller. - The definition of what is a movie is kind of changed in it right too, right? - What do you think it is now? - It's images and words being spoken captured by some sort of technology. - Danny McBride, you love Kovah. - Oh that's fantastic. - Can you make it on, you make your own? That's great. - I call him Terro Reed. (laughing) - That's a good name. - They're all named after cast members of American Pie. - Yeah, I call. - I call. - I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Lee Chisobi Eski. - Yeah, I don't think she was an American Pie, but I just-- - I will get up. - She was prominent in the same time. - The console limo. - Yeah. - Then Mary Steenbergent. - Why are you guys talking to me? - I'm worried. - I'm worried. - Why are you talking so down to me that you think I don't understand your little play game? - I just really-- - I get it. - I'm trying to set you up for success here. - Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. - I'm Nick Tutorial. You probably know me from NYPD Blue, the longest yard, or Spike Lee's Black Plansman, but I'm also from Queens, which means I know pizza. And on my new podcast, delivering happiness with Nick Tutorial, I deliver pizza from Prince Street Pizza to a new guest. - We deliver pizza now? - Then we sit down for a real conversation. I've shared a slice with everyone from Seth Rollins. - What are you doing, my bell? - To Alex Rodriguez. - Just let you people know we're talking to one of the goats here. - To Bill Burr. - I don't think I've ever met somebody. So exactly out of their mind is I am. - And now we even have more great guests coming up, including the great John Tutorial. - Let's go with happiness, delivering happiness. - Mariano Rivera. - I'll start running up. - And many, many more. Open your free I Heart Radio app. Search delivering happiness with Nick Tutorial. And listen now. - No, George, I was gonna say those glasses things. You know, it's nice that it has the caption about mental health and healing. However, it does sound like one of those things that's kind of fetish adjacent. - Well, no offense, but you do think everything is fetish. - So yeah, what can we define fetish here? - So it's like, there's all these videos online that are like fake cooking videos, for example. - What do you mean? - It'll be like, I'm pouring all the slop on the sink. - Oh yeah. - Now I'm putting all this. - So our fetish content. - They're fetish. - To jerk off too. - To like, satisfy some fetish. - It doesn't have to be sexual. It can be sort of more like a stimming type thing. - This is the second time you've brought up stimming. - ASMR fetish content? Yes, sometimes. - Probably. - But I think people are jerking off to that. - You think so. - Sometimes. But I think sometimes people are jerking off to putting like 17 chicken breasts on a counter. And smush them. Well, chicken breasts can be very erotic. - Suddenly I'm really happy with the internet that I'm on. - Yeah, so what are you getting served? - I get served. - You're like nothing weird. - Foot stuff, licking feet. - I'm talking about cream on feet. - Let me guess what's on your feet. - Keep the sitting on cakes. - Okay, I'm gonna guess what's on Mary Beth Bronz. - You'll never guess. - I'm exactly. - I think it's a lot of like Charlie X X fan content. No? I'm gonna guess like. - Keep going, keep going. - Okay, here's a guess. - You're trying to put me in a box. - Here's a guess. - I'm clipping nails. - Hmm. I think archival fashion stuff. Like. - You're getting warmer. - What about, okay, haircuts. - No, I'm not basic. - Eyebrows, haircuts can be weird. - You were on the right track with that. - Okay, okay. - It's a lot of archival fashion. I mean, do you want me to just tell you? - Sure. - It's archival fashion. Chihuahua is being cute. - I was close. - She's locked. - Everything's around Mom Donnie says and does. John Ausef as well. Let's throw him in there. So that's my Instagram algorithm. TikTok, it's a lot of teens dancing at camp. Like to Justin Bieber and stuff. - Okay. - Mid-size bodies in outfits. So it's the girls that are like, here's what this outfit looks like on a mid-size body. - Sure. - Which is actually healing something very deep inside me. And then there, what's the other thing I mean? Oh, it's like, these are the texts my mom will send me when I'm overstimulated. And it's like someone's mom just being like a deranged psychopath over text. And like, I'm crying laughing at that. So these are probably things you're not even seeing. - Do you feel like they have time to make John Ausef gay? And do you think that if they did that, it would be better or worse? - Worse. - Yeah. - Well, it's complicated because he's too attractive. - I know. - So what is the plan? - Well, here's a quick, where are we out with gay politicians in general? - I can really only think of one and I'm not loving what I'm hearing. - Well, you're only thing of gay guys. - Well, yeah, who else is there? Do you know lesbian politician? - Kirsten Gillibrand is Pan. - Oh, I'm just kidding. (laughing) - I don't think the Pan's sexual community would be very happy to play her by the way. - What if Kirsten came out as Pan? - She was like, fuck, we need something. - It's only for a living. - I've been fopping for literally decades. - She's moved from office in general. - Yeah, well, maybe that's what it will take. - If you're Pan and you want to run for office, please stay in the closet. - Well, you know, that's how we got another Kirsten cinema. Remember her? - No. - Kirsten, Kristen, Kristen cinema. - Kristen Cinnamon. - Yeah. - Kristen Cinnamon. - What are you saying? centrist Democrat you would hate her. She would wear like a blue wig. And she literally like would vote Republican half the time. Yeah. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah, she was like the Steve manch Manchkin. Mnuchin. No, that's different. Oh, I know you're talking about the West Virginia. Yeah, it's exactly the two of them were like the two centrist. Everyone always be like okay, you guys remember we're all Democrats. They're like totally winged. Yeah, and then they'd be like oops, he's I did it again, I actually put in the wrong I would be like should you raise minimum wage and every Democrat votes yes, and then they vote no yeah. Anyway, where are we at on gay politicians? Well, here's the thing. It's like it's not like oh god This is the worst thing that could ever happen, but there was a section of time when when a politician was gay And I feel like you'd be like wow that rocks this guy's gay and now it's sort of like Well, because we finally realized as a culture that gay doesn't mean better literally I Which is bad quality in a way, but it's also like it's a very I think lesbian means better usually yeah, I do so I think we need to You know, we made the classic mistake where you think okay, we need gay get a gay guy right? That's a classic mistake people make all the time and so then it has to be the fourth option is always the lesbian They're like well, we tried everything and then someone's like what about a lesbian like oh right? I forgot about that part of the hospital well So but I think we need to go straight to a lesbian, but I think lesbians have better things to do like they don't I don't think like making granola. Yeah, or like moving in with their spouse or like raising a dog that they rescued And I mean this all by the way complimentary. I'm like lesbians should not have to fix the mess that we've made I wish they would they have a lot of other stuff going on their crocheting they It's not that they should I'm not saying like I have a gun to every lesbian's head saying run for president Well, they would lose anyway. Yeah, Carla Carla not win they would lose probably yeah, I think John also needs to stay straight. He's not perfect I mean he's not perfect. He's pro crypto and stuff. I think don't also stay straight. Please we need to talk about AI Regulation and time is running out. Oh my god. I know. Do you know I look Boris? Yeah, isn't he hot? Yeah But he lost he lost I know but I you know that was exciting No, it's a guy against AI. Yeah, sign me up, but then that what the the old guy won right? Uh Micah lasher. Oh right. No. Yeah, that's like whatever. It's like he's fine He was like what's his name's pro j. Who the previous guy who ran that and I would have no way of knowing who that would be and I don't want His name is not coming to me. No, I don't want to hear it. Um, yeah, gay, gay politicians. I don't know. It's like I don't know what to do I don't want to do peat buta judge like you could have been You could have been great, but you decided to be mid what about like a bisexual e-girl running for president? I think it I think some well know that would never work that would never work. She'd be too sexual I know she has crazy old tweets. Oh my god. Yeah, she has crazy Where do I be woke running for president? What do you think? Now I think that could be because She says things that I think would just make people's head spin where they would go I actually don't know if I agree or not. Yeah, like I don't know if I agree. Confuse them. Yeah, like to soriant them Yeah, the zone and stuff Would you ever run for office? I haven't decided. Okay. How things proceed with the career and entertainment We'll see how things proceed with her Netflix special that you hear to promote which I offer several Pat that Keep that which I offer several solutions on how to fix the country, but I I don't know I think some of the things I've said publicly on the record could potentially be dicee if I ever in for office I don't know where we'll be at by that point like maybe everyone running will have like skeletons. That's well. Yeah, that's the big hope But I do Well, no, but I think the issue is the issue is being mostly normal with a few skeletons That's the worst thing you can be right you either have to be squeaky clean Or you have to be like so like Donald Trump like so insane that it it just all cancels itself out I know it's like I want to run for office, but then I'm gonna have to start sexually assaulting people now I know and you're honestly already 35 good law. Well, don't say we'll bleep that no Yeah, please do, but I just don't know if I have it in you to do that to start now sexually assaulting people Well, it's a young woman's game. It is if you are a man. That's a different story. It actually probably gets like how they can have kids to their Names exactly they can become predators into their 90s. Yeah, sometimes men become predators later in life Yeah, because they get a divorce and they realize they have violent feelings about all women Yes, and they want that they want to exact that violence on anyone Who they encounter and then they can get a government grant for that offer And then they can become a congressperson. Yes So yeah, I don't know about my future in politics. I think it's wherever I can make the most impact. So if I can continue like being an entertainer and then also get people to vote for socialists and I'll probably just keep doing that. But if I feel like I could run and win, I would never run and lose. That's just I'll literally if it seems like I'm going to lose, I will kill myself. I will run and lose. My ass, you know my ass is running and losing. So you wouldn't drop out, you would kill yourself. Because then it's like, well, fine, if you don't want me, bye. Right. Here's me after I lose the first time. Well, you're going to lose your first one. Totally, totally, totally. Oh, and I love that attitude. Yeah. Because I have to try the first one. I shall lose the first one. It's an attitude of acceptance. But I think what you really need to run is like, you need like the DSA to back you. And I think you have to like prove some stuff first. Like as like a, I don't know, they might when you do city council or something. Yeah. Yeah. And you would want to go straight for like the presidency. You want a more high profile. Yeah. I don't want to do city council. I don't even know what it's just a job. You know, one time I tried to become involved in my local community and the link was broken. Oh, well, you know my big thing. DSA, way too many emails. You guys need to get a sub stack, put some updates on there, send out a weekly newsletter. And I've been trying to reach out. I'm like, you guys, I'm not reading any of these. Yeah. It's tough. Well, it's always the minutes of a meeting that I didn't even know I was invited to. Or urgent. I go, well, not not for me. Well, it's the boy who cried. Well, if you know the first, you can't say urgent, I mean, tell it. First time it was urgent. I said, well, this, this was more like an open letter. You want me to sign that was about tech regulation that has already passed. Right. So thank you, though. In a Trump really made everything boy who cried, Wolf, where it's like now, like literally bad things are happening all the time. Yeah. Because everything has happened. Like you're like, okay. Well, it's Murphy's Law, not to bring it back to Interstellar. Bring it back to Murphy's Law because remind me what that is. Anything that can happen will happen. Period. So you could still win. I could still win, even if I kill myself. Yes. Or you're saying I shouldn't kill myself because I could still win. Well, I think you've already killed yourself and you've already won. Wait, is that Murphy's Law? No, that's Interstellar. Well, it's hard to explain. I remember when you said ex Machina as a comedy. Rom com. Yeah. What did you see any other rom coms lately that you want to show now? Interesting. Send help for sure. What else have I been watching? It's when people ask me what movies I've been watching. It's like, why would you do that to me? Why are you trying to humiliate me right now? I saw a dear friend last night having seen it a few months and unfortunately, it was because it was a friend of a friend was in the film. And so I said, have you seen this film? And then it turned into what other and I was like, what are we doing? We need to be asking how we are. We have to stop. Have you noticed, you know, you're in the midst of doing press? Like, have you noticed that now the thing is what everyone wants is your wrecks, your recommendations? That's what presses. And I have no. It used to be, you could just be like, you know, I'm raising my kids. Like, I have an amazing you, you know, I'm moving into a new house. Like, you could just talk about yourself. Now everyone is like, what are your five favorite books of academic social theory? Right. From the French or something like what restaurants do you have in Millie'sburg? Yeah. Oh, I love to do that. And can I say my answer to both of those things? Please, please. I have none. Yeah. I don't want to answer that. Yeah. Well, you're an actress. Okay. Okay. First of all, I'm getting, first of all, I'm getting delivery all the time. So I don't even know if these are ghost kitchens or what they're not. I check. Second of all, two of my favorite restaurants in Millie'sburg have recently shut down. So don't even move that up because I'll start crying. And three, I'm like, figure it out. I don't know. I can't live your life for you. That's true. That's true. You know what? I had to do it the hard way. I had to try some bad ones first. So why don't you guys go eat it if your restaurants and see what you like? This is actually an amazing thing. How are you with trying a bad one? Trying a bad restaurant? Yes. When I have I struggle with trying a bad one. Of course. How would that ever be? Yeah. I'm walking me through what you're saying. You know it's bad and then you're sure you know you try and it turns out to be bad. If I if I try a bad one, my life is over. I'm like, no, you have to rebuild. I can't really killing myself if I don't win. But after I have a bad one, we're just going to pretend that never happens. I know this was my one dinner. I know it sucks because it's your one dinner. Sam has a difficult time when he doesn't have the best day of his life every day. That must be really hard for you. It's so difficult. And then like of course my husband always wants to try places. I'm saying what if it's bad? Yeah. And he's saying what if it's good? And I'm saying this is not a good thing. That's not a good thing. Probably are running out of time to change this part of your personality. What I would like to say in addition to press being recommendations, it's hot takes. Yeah. Oh my god. I actually have no more. All my takes. I feel like. Oh, thank you for saying this. First of all, can we like inward a little bit? Yeah. Enough with the hot takes. Let's sit with our thoughts for a while. See if we still agree with them. And if you yes, I don't need to give a hot take right now. And I'm not going to. But if I was giving a hot take, it would be that hot take culture has gone too far. And we don't need it right now. It's actually contributing to like the development of media and how we consume it. So that's my big statement on that. I think it like creates more and more isolation because everyone's like, well, fuck, I'm not. I want to do their little comment to save they agree or not. And then that then they carry that over to videos that are actually not hot takes and they're just people being like, this is a souffle that I made. And then it's like, well, you have access to organic eggs and I don't. Yeah. And it's like, okay, well, then use. No, I don't know. They don't make it then. And similar people will be like, take like sandwiches are actually delicious. And it's like, right. So who is arguing against, by the way, right? Show me the contingent that say sandwiches. And what's that? Which is not how it takes or a fine art because either they're so obvious that it's like no one cares or they're so performative for like a better word that basically it's like, okay, well, your hot take is actually look at me. That's your hot take. Well, that's what that's what the hot takes are. Yeah. And I'm my big question to those people that have these shows. Is that actually good for the person that's the guest or is it good for you? Are we getting, are we driving traffic to that person's projects? Are we driving traffic to your account? That's one thing I would love to see the numbers on. I think that's a really good point. Well, I guess this is sort of a broader point about like press and media in general. And about how you're going to start a man on the street style interview series where you go up to random homeless people and ask how they got there. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, pretty much. And then at the end, I give them a big gift card for Amazon. Amazon.com. Amazon.com. $25. Yes, $25. They've got it all. Hey, Portlandia fans. Carrie Brown's seen in Fred Armas in here.

The definition of what is a movie is kind of changed in it right? What do you think it is now? It's images and words being spoken captured by some sort of technology. Danny McBride, you love that. Oh, that's fantastic. Can you make it on you make your own? That's great. I call him tarot read. That's a good name. They're all named after cast members of American pie. Yeah, I call. I don't. I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Lichy Sobiaski. Yeah, I don't think she was an American pie, but I just haven't looked it up. She was prominent in the same time. Yeah, then Mary Steenberg. Why are you talking to me? Look at the movie. I'm so down to me that you think I don't understand your little play. Play game. I just really.

I'm Julie Pinierro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. Every time I try to be alone, I kept meaning people and they were like, "You smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here."

And listen now. Should we do our first segment? Yes. Wow. So as you know, our first segment is called "Straight Shooters." And in this segment, we're going to ask you a series of rapid-fire questions. Basically, this thing or this other thing, to gauge your familiarity with and complicity in straight culture. Okay. The only rule is you can't ask any follow-up questions or we will scream. Okay, wait. So it's your ask-uniform environment? That's a question. Which is crazy because of your first time. Ferdinand or Bos Luramand. Vas Laren. In your headphones or get out of here, go home. Get out of here, go home. Mary Christmas or let me piss, man. Let me piss, man. Project runway or projecting your gay? Project runway. Sour candy or sour caddy? Sour candy. BDSM or being the best man? BDSM. Watching pornography, learning, herography, or criticizing the film Michael for being a hig-yography. Oh. Probably the third one. Totally. Yeah. Being sued for malpractice or going, dude, you're a bad actor. Oh, God. Um, the second one. Wow. Yeah. How did I do? Well, we made our guest on a scale of zero to 1,000 doves. And I thought that was a really nice performance. I agree. I love when someone asks the question at this stage in our career. Well, it did really make me confused. Do you know, Marybeth has been on this podcast probably four or five times. Two times. I've been on and one was remote in COVID and it was not even with videos. This is third? Yeah, this is third. Okay. This is third. I did this pranos. I did having friends from home. Yeah. And then today, what I'll be doing. But here's the thing is that like, okay, it's been a while one, two. I didn't know the no question thing starts as soon as the game is introduced. Because if I had known that, I probably would have asked earlier. Yeah. Okay. So this sort of energy that you're bringing is bringing your score down in a big way. That's what I don't care. I would say I'm seeing eight 20. Oh, wow. That's pretty generous. Yeah. I'm like, you know, you're still my friend. I was going to go in. I was going to go six 50. Oh, wow. I had to win Sandback for the rest of that. Yeah. Sandback. That's crazy. Do you remember the first time you did the podcast? Your topic was the superannos. And basically your bit was that they didn't sing the whole time. And you thought they would sing as a surprise. Was it superannos? It was superannos. Yeah. I just thought it was weird. No, I think I was I was saying that I in my mind, I hadn't watched the superannos. But I thought it was about singers. Yeah, because they're superannos. Right. Well, there's, uh, why would you name it that? No, do we? Why would you name it a fan? Like it's potential last name that also means something else. You might as well go with those singers. You have every Italian last name in the book and instead you go with that. And at the very least, have it be a pun like MDNA, for example, where it's like, okay, maybe they are definitely, they're called the superannos. They're a family, but also one of them is trying to be a singer. At least one. And then maybe it's like she's, has a lot of success early on, but then has a lot of trouble, mental, health wise, and then it's placed in a conservative ship. And then finally finds her voice. And there's a New York Times documentary about her. But then it's kind of like, wait a minute. Yeah, what's going on now? What's going on now? You guys say what is, yeah, what's actually happening. And I think what you overlooked is that the New York Times documentary centers around like two podcasters. And I do want to talk about that. A podcasters can change the world for the record, but keep going. I mean, look at cereal. I actually do want to talk about how the New York Times documentary was just them being like, rather than doing journalism, we're going to platform kind of like random. Well, this is the thing. But everyone does that. But it's not really being attention to it. That no one was really like, yeah, but it's like you guys. This is not media work. No, are you born yesterday? Yeah, this whole episode is being shelved. We actually can't come up with these takes, but I hope you keep that in because I need to know. When I was working at New York or one of the pitches that kept coming up was people wanted to write, did we free-britain you too much? And luckily we said no. You put the kabach because you didn't want to be at the center in that. I just am not going to take that. Like, obviously there is things we need to talk about, but I'm not going to put that in. What writer wrote that is getting hate mail for like 10 years. Yeah, oh my god. This is actually a good story. So back when Gawker first came around, they were doing articles about how much startups were paying salaries and stuff and they wrote about the company that I worked for. And then I worked in the showroom a little bit at the company and this showroom client, the showroom shopper, started stalking me like legitimately. And he was like, emailing me, texting me, Facebook message, all this stuff. And I was like, I didn't know what to do. I stood him up on a date. I was like, who get the message? He just continued. It did not slow him down whatsoever. So I was like, maybe if I just agree to go and it's not good, then he'll leave me alone. So anyway, I like emails him for my work email being like, can you please stop? Like please, just leave me alone. But I was actually scared to send it for my work email because I was like, what if he sends it to Gawker? And then they write an article about an employee at the company that's like being stalked. Being so I don't know. Or like, somehow Tristan against me, I was like Gawker could get a hold of this. You know, it was just like, that was the threat back then. Gawker could forget that Gawker could get a hold of anything. Gawker, I didn't forget. Scary. Star or something about me and Gawker. Yeah. Original Gawker back in the day. I was working for a startup. They leaked this photo of the 22 year old CEO holding cash and like, grinning. Do you want to know? Yeah, what was the startup? I was called Clinkle. I remember this. Of course, and of course it was. And it was very much like, look at this child. But all of that to say that like the old Gawker would have published. Did be free Britney too much. Yes, only because I had a gay man at the helm, like, you know, keeping it sort of. You know, there were a shocking number of gay men in the old Gawker. You wouldn't believe. Or maybe I would. What would I believe it? Should we get into the topic today? I would love that. Today I'm going to talk to you guys about Adam Sandler movies. Okay. Tell us what's straight about Adam Sandler movies. Well, Adam Sandler movies date back to the early 90s. And we have titles such as Happy Gilmore. We have Billy Madison. We have Big Daddy. We have the Water Boy. The Water Boy. We have Little Nikki. We have the one with John Tatturo. We have just so many movies coming out. And they're and they are. It is a defined genre of Adam Sandler movies. Now as so first of all, they're geared. It's comedy for straight guys and their sisters. Yeah. Which I have three brothers. Oh, and they're all straight. So you were all straight. So I was implicated. So I watched these movies. Also, my family had six children. So we had a van that we used to take on family road trips that had a TV and a VCR. You were kind of like the box car children. We were the box car kids. So the TV and the VCR that we had in the back, it wasn't like a built-in flat screen thing. It was literally a TV that fit in the slow thing and a VCR. And those, I don't know how it worked with the car. But this was like early TV and car technology. And you grew up really poor. And I was extremely poor. We only had an eight bedroom house. So it was three floors and a basement. And later. It's been really difficult. That was really hard. So we would watch, I mean, I'm outnumbered, right? It's like I have two sisters, but they were like a little older. They weren't always coming on road trips. So it was the two boys and me closest. They're two two boys closest to me and age. So I was watching these movies. I've seen hundreds of times. And what I love about these movies actually is that like, it is street culture and that it like celebrates sort of like, clownish male protagonists. Yes. But he often has a great circle of friends to support him. And then female love interests that are actually like, people you could maybe meet in the world. One is a teacher, for example. That's true. So there's that. And then I think what was really cool with the big daddy turn was that he went from just being strictly clown to, I'm going to have, I'm going to be a clown, but I'm actually going to also have like a kid in the movie, which was really powerful because it showed this softer side of Adam Sandler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As his career unfolds, continues to unfold, he's, he takes on more serious roles. He does some dramedies, which I would describe a dramedie, for example, would be like, spanglish. He does more family-focused movies. Then now more recently, he's done movies with his actual family. So he likes to cast his wife, not as his wife, as a different person in the movie. And then his daughters, as a lot of times his daughters. Yeah. I would argue that not every movie that Adam Sandler is in is an Adam Sandler movie. For example, Uncut Gems, that's a Safdie Brothers movie. Yeah. Starring Adam Sandler in a dramatic role. Here's a question for you. Is puns drunk love an Adam Sandler movie? I would argue to say that it is not. It is a Paul Thomas Anderson movie that Adam Sandler was lucky enough to be a part of. So yeah, I mean, there's a lot of like themes in these Adam Sandler movies like school, golf and hockey. I off the bat, there is something that used to be in the 90s, at least. I think like movie genres were gendered in a different way. Totally. Where like comedy in general was just straight boy. Boy movies, yeah. And then it was like, "Rome comedy's girlfriend." And that's chick flick. Chick flick, yeah. And so because I remember you had the sister experience of watching these. I had the gay friend experience of watching these with the boys growing up and being like, "We're all boys, we all love this shit." And it was sort of like, there's something that I still haven't figured out, which is that did I like them or was I pretending to fit in? And I do not know. I think they have a lot of comedic value. And what I really like about the early work especially is that it all has a lot of heart. So in Billy Madison for example, he's trying to sort of win or prove to his dad that he is responsible enough to take over the company and keep it out of the clutches of this evil antagonist. And then in Happy Gilmore, he wants to save his grandma's house, I believe. So he starts playing golf. And then in Big Daddy, he just develops this really beautiful relationship friendship with a kid who shows up at his doorstep, turns out to be John Stewart's kid, spoiler alert. Then you, I wouldn't be able to say like what Water Boy and Little Nicky where the human drive was in those were not as frequent in my house. The Water Boy was actually pretty big for me. I actually love the Water Boy as well. And there are a lot of, first of all, Kathy Bates is playing as a mother so he's giving a role to an iconic woman. Female actor. Female actor. And to your point about, I feel like at some point what happened with Boy comedies is that they stopped casting funny women and started casting model like Kate Upton. But the other woman is really good. So is it? It is really good. I have seen it. It's actually a fabulous movie about women coming together because of a common enemy. And they, I won't say, but it's really good. It's funny. I feel like with those early Adam Sandler movies, the women are also allowed to be funny and they are genuinely comedic actresses. Yes. And in the Water Boy similarly, the female lead is like, she's allowed to be like dirty and ugly and like she's not just there to be like Megan Fox, no offense to Megan Fox, Megan Fox like in this is for me. Well, Megan Fox was never in an anime. Oh, interesting. Like that kind of thing. Interesting. Okay, see, I consider this as 40 and funny people. I consider funny people to be a Jedi appetite movie. Yeah. Oh, definitely. Yeah. But here's what I would say is that we have a really beautiful thing that happens when Adam Sandler starts casting Jennifer Aniston in his movies. We have just go with it, which also starts Brooklyn Decker, which I see what you're saying, but she was sort of cast as like to be like model, model type. Yes. I know I hate to say this, but Brooklyn Decker actually has the chops. I agree. I'm thinking of saying it. And thank you so much. She's great and grace and frankly, I have to say something keeps happening in this conversation where we'll try to say something bad about an anime woman. Actress, be like, she's only hired because she's beautiful. That being said, she's amazing. No, but I think she just proves a lot is what I'm saying. And sometimes models can be great comedic actresses. Here's a model who isn't a good comedic actress. Please, be kind. Please, be kind. Jezele is not funny in the devil's product. Sorry. She could have been. She held up an eyelash color and said, what is this? That's not funny to you. You're laughing. Fine is funny. The writing is funny. Thank you, Aline Brosh McKenna. What is this? I don't think she was improvving on set. No, I don't think so either. And I bet Emily Blunt hated her ass. Well, no, there's not. Have her on the pod. Find out. I would love to see Emily Blunt come on the spot. I would absolutely love to see Emily Blunt come on the podcast. I recently watched her Hot Ones and she was pretty good. I think if you revisit the sacred text, also can I just say one thing? And this just goes for anybody I talk about in the future on a podcast. I don't know their politics. Okay. I don't know what a politician I have no idea where any of these actors are actors to stand on the biggest issues of our time. I don't know. Okay. So I'm just saying if we revisit the movies I grew up with, which happened to be Adam Sandler movies and then of course Chris Farley movies as well, which was its own category. Of course. Like Tommy Boy, for example, but I think I think they hold up comedically. Oh. That Adam Sandler movies. Where do the politics, why do the politics come with that? I don't know. I'm not commenting on Adam Sandler's politics, which the people in these movies politics, I don't know where they fall. I know some of them. Like who? Like Rob Schneider. Oh, okay, sure. Yeah. And thank you for bringing that up. Cause 51states I would consider an Adam Sandler movie. Now that's an interesting one. And now on his borderline. It's that's borderline. I would almost disagree with you. Okay. And that's what I would almost call it a drewberry more movie. Oh, interesting. I think there is the tight circle of friends thing is obviously a big part of Adam Sandler's sonomatic universe. Yeah. And it's like, he's always got the same guys. Look how good he is to his squad. But then it is tough because it's like, then you got Rob Schneider there. And you're like, well, we always rob Schneider. Yeah. I could get out of it. What's like Jim McKimmilist, little friends with Adam Corolla. And you're like, I thought we liked you because you cried. I know. And you, yeah, and you're so classic boy to be like, you're good, but that one friend you have really fucking. Yeah. Yeah. No, and that's such a good example of it in our culture. And I do think yeah, Rob Schneider, what are we going to do with it? What are we going to do about Rob? How do you solve a problem like Rob Schneider? Seriously. Oh, literally. I don't know. No. Because he is weeks away from running for office. We need like Rob Schneider Fest. Like I think what it is is like he doesn't feel love. And so it's like some, we need like to be like, so we respect you. But in that sense, we don't. Yeah. Well, the hot chick, you know, talk about a funny actress Rachel McAdams, very funny in the hot chick, and actually a very funny comedic actress. But I think what you're pointing to is that we have to show him love. That's what Adam Sandler is doing by casting him in movie. And it felt like it wasn't for Adam Sandler. No one would be cast the right fighter. But something almost the opposite is happening where he's always second fiddle to Adam Sandler. He's always like, thank you, Adam. Thank you, Adam. He's like tired of being a little better boy. So you think if we make Rob Schneider a leading man, he would become leftist? I think you would have. That's the idea you're proposing. That's the theory I'm proposing. Maybe Rob Schneider should play Britney Spears. And the first the Frenoland directed Britney Spears biopic. I mean, he has a similar arm. And we'd be killing two birds with one stone. Instead of, you know, Britney's father, it's Adam Sandler is the father. And Adam Sandler should play Britney's father. But that's the son of Adam Sandler movie. I know. That's the John Chayne movie. Oh, sorry, Colin. Yeah, my bad. I feel like I have so much to say about Adam Sandler movies. But I thank God we're doing a podcast about it. I want to float this by you guys to me. When we were growing up, there were Adam Sandler movies, Will Ferrell movies, Ben Stiller movies, and Mike Myers movies. So true. Which one were you? Which one is which Sex and the City girl? And literally like I think it says it says because you were Mike Myers. I feel you were Austin Powers. I mean, I was extremely Austin Powers, but I was also Will Ferrell Pilled. See, I was Ben Stiller. Oh, but I also love Zooler. Can I say what's good? I'm totally Adam Sandler. Like I told you, Adam Sandler movies, Will Ferrell movies, like they, they were more high concept. I guess then, you know, I think Adam Sandler actually was trying to compete in that sphere when he made you don't mess with the Sohan. Yes. He was thinking this is my big character piece. And I just think like, yeah, that, I like movies that were more rooted in truth. Like when a young man tries to complete all of school doing two weeks in each grade so we can win back his family company. Right. No, that's not really my absolute villain. Little like he's already the devil. So yes. And actually, everyone I just mentioned has this in common where they are always like sometimes they go real and sometimes they go high fantasy. Yeah. Because it's like the doneness with the Dohan of Mike Myers is the love guru. Of course. We couldn't forget that. We can't forget that. And then it's like for Ben Stiller, I mean, I think Zooler is pretty out there. Dodgeball. Dodgeball. And less we forget heavyweights. I think it was so traumatic for me as a fat kid. I could totally see that. But the line read of pasta primavera pasta primavella. We don't talk about that enough. I mean, of course, it's really funny when you make fun of someone speech impediment, but I also see it as a line read. I see it as an actor making a choice. It's an actor making a choice. It's art. Okay. Here's something about Adam Sandler acting that I think gets us into tricky territory. Totally. All these people have sticks, right? Like, and Adam Sandler's stick in, especially in the kind of like early mid-career movies, like Little Nikki, the water boy, all that stuff is basically kind of playing the character as though he is mentally handicapped. Challenge, yeah. And it's, and that's like literally where the comedy comes from. In the way that, the comedy in Zooler comes from him being gay. Like it's like you're basically choosing like something that is is something that is stigmatized and being like, this character is-- - Well, this is comedy itself gets very confusing. Because I even feel like the more sort of awareness there is around like autism. I'm like, oh God, like 50% of comedies are just some opportunity to be autistic. - Yes, yeah. - And you're like, "Rut Row, what are we gonna do about that?" - And not just like broad comedies, but also like awkward, I mean, talk about punch drunk love. That's what that movie is about. - Yeah. - Well, here's what I'll say about that. I didn't actually, those ones just were not-- - Yeah. - On loop in my house. So I completely agree it's something we have to reckon with. Probably one of our most important things right now, reckonin' with the fact that a lot of comedy is-- - From the early odds. - Yeah, so any of us-- - No, I don't even care. - Potentially the English. - I'd say a lot of Instagram reels are someone who doesn't even be able to speak with English. - Yeah, not me, though, I don't do that. - I would never do that. - I don't do that. - For me, it's just about hot takes and fetish content. - Mm-hmm, yeah. And maybe Adam Sandler should do a movie about that. - Yeah. - Hot takes and fetish content. - Do you guys see "Hubi Halloween" or was that just me? - I never told them that one. - I didn't see eight crazy nights either. - Well, "Hubi Halloween" was simply to die for. - Is it a cartoon? - No, it's "Slyve Action." (laughing) It's "Slyve Action." It came out, I wanna say four years ago. It's a Halloween movie and it felt like a return to form for Adam Sandler. Very silly, very fun. - Well, there's a whole era of just like Netflix, Adam Sandler. - This is a Netflix movie. - Like "Murder Mystery" too. - Yes, exactly. - "Murder Mystery" too. I did wanna touch on "Spanglish" quickly 'cause there's a line read in that movie that's really stuck with me, which is just try it on. She says it like 50 times and it's like. - And who says that? - "Bactress." - Okay. (laughing) - Here's a take. Ready? This is my hot take. - Okay. - Ooh, here we go. - I'm scared. - Start on him. - Startin' around, let's say 2004, okay? - Post 9/11. - Yep. We were barely starting to actually process it. Here's what, here's my take. (laughing) Here's my take. - The initial shock is all casting of Adam Sandler is stunt casting. - Totally. - When Adam Sandler is playing a character, part of the ethos of that is, can you believe that's Adam Sandler? - I think that's true of Punch Run Club. I think that's true of certainly on Cut Gems. I think it's true of anytime he does, "Spanglish." - I have a hot take. - Okay. - Wait, I wanna hear the rest. - This is an addition of it. And I think there's a genre factor that's like this. I think Wippy Goldberg is like, I think there's some people that, their cultural significance is so large that they're not just an actor. - He is in many ways like Lady Gaga in this way. - That is very true. - Where it's now like every song she puts out, it's either like, oh, is this going away from form or is it a return to the root? - The Gaga. - So, like, yes. - Like she can never just be like, I'm putting this out. It's always like, is this a rejection of her former self or an embrace of her former self? That's what every Adam Sandler role is now. - It's like, yeah. - He's not doing Adam Sandler. That's crazy. Oh my gosh, he's back doing Adam Sandler. I didn't know we'd see that again. - Right. And I think like whether you like it or not, or whether you think the movies are funny, like he has had like, I mean, the cultural impact in his movies do well. And I do think that that is better for comedy because more comedies will get made off of that. So, I know he has like made his name on being sort of like clownish and silly, but he's clearly a very good businessman as well. - Yeah, and a good actor. Well, he's to die for. I think we can all agree. - The hustle, which is on Netflix, which is about basketball. He plays a coach. - Oh yeah. - Is really good. - That's what I've heard. - It's a good family movie to watch with your parents. - Why didn't you win the Oscar for Uncut Gems? - On that year. Who won that year? - You know, I don't know that. - Probably Judy Dunge. - Anyone? - Yeah, probably Judy Dunge. - Judy Dunge won in the category. - She's won in the category. - She won for Best Lead Actor. - Who's doing that? - Who's doing what? - What are the little, what are the, you know, 14 year old boys watching at the sleepover? - They're watching videos of brown water. (laughing) - Turning into clear water. - Turning into clear water. - And going, this is healing. - Yeah. - And then, yeah, they're just, they're alone in their room. They're not. I don't know. - No, that's a really good, 'cause I'm like, wasn't Pete Davidson supposed to just like be that now? And instead, he's getting fully tied it up and then getting them all removed over and over again. - Here's someone who I feel like could have been the next generation of that. And I think chose not to be is Andy Sandberg. 'Cause I could have seen a career of Andy Sandberg where he does the kind of career. - I mean, it's hard to say, never stop it. - Exactly, like, genuinely want your philosophy. - Incredible, but it's like, okay, so he did the pot rod. - I love it. - Yes, I mean, and he did do a few of them, but then that's not his whole thing. - Yeah, I watch the event up to. - He married Joanna News. - Well, I actually met him backstage at O'Merry and I was like totally, like obviously I knew he was a hot guy, but seeing him in person, I was my, - He's one of the hottest men. - My hair sort of blew back. It was like, whoa, and he was just wearing like glasses and a hat and like a ring coat. And I just thought like, good for you. - Yeah. - Good for you. If you took a step back from movies to just continue being a hot guy, like I totally understand that. - Well, it is like there's no, this is the stupidest thing I've ever said. I'm like, there's no economic incentive to make a movie anymore. - No, it hurts. - Unless if you, well, no, economic-- - Well, no, I can only make sure. - I'm a more church and famous person. You're like, why would I make a movie? - It's so hard. - It's like literally hard work. - No, I know. - And you only make like what, like $10 million? - $10 bucks? - I don't know. It's a drop in the bucket for them. - Literally. - I guess it's just a desire or a need to like create, but some people-- - It's not financially. - I mean, maybe if you make Hot Rod and pop star and never stop stopping, you're, you're syshated and you said, never mind. - Although-- - I stripped. You say like, yeah, I've given the world what I want to and it's gonna be married. - No, I'm just gonna go to the island where there's no rent and-- - And you just get free food, right? - Free food. - Free food. - Who is straighter? Chris Farley or Adam Sandler in your mind? - I think probably Adam Sandler. I feel like Chris Farley was always down, like he'd do anything for the bit. So if that man like having sex with a guy he might-- - Yeah. - And that's like with the utmost respect to his estate. Like Chris Farley is genuinely like a huge, can we take like, heroes? - Okay, don't call him huge, that's rude. - I think he would self-identify as huge, first of all, if he had the opportunity to. I don't think Adam Sandler would have sex with a guy even if it was to be funny. - That's so insensitive. - You know, we haven't mentioned and it's actually completely shot. - Stop yelling. - Why? What? - Chuck and Larry. - Chuck and Larry. - I know. - I know. - I know what you're talking about. - Chuck and Larry is like foundational to this podcast, 'cause early on we would talk about an answer, Chuck and Larry. - Are you seen in this? - And actually we tried to, we're doing something in LA where podcasts are introduced to films, this is part of this film festival. And we wanted to introduce him out for an answer, Chuck and Larry, but they wouldn't let you know. - Why not, 'cause it didn't age well? - No, because it's amazing. - It's not that it didn't age well. It wasn't okay at the time. - Well, the thing about it, it's actually the opposite. It's that at the time it was criticized so much because gay marriage was such a hot topic that people were like this disrespectful. But now, in the clear light of day, you can just like have fun at the movie. - Just like shallow how. (laughing) - Kind of. - The thing about it. - I now pronounce Chuck and Larry. So, famously on the episode "Whiteness" with Iowa Debra, we talk about it. And I said I wanted to watch them have sex. And I think the big issue with Chuck and Larry, it's like, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's good. But then it's supposed to be the part where they are like, they have to kiss in the courtroom to prove they love each other. - Who's the other guy? - Kevin James. - Kevin James. - I thought so. - My number one. And they were-- - Don't even get me started on his comedy special sweat, the small stuff. - But they wouldn't kiss. And the whole joke was like, this is so gross. And it's like the climax of the movie. If they had just, 'cause the whole thing was like, they actually do love each other in a friend way, where they would do anything. - From man's. - They would do each other and so it was like, if you had just kissed and been like, we can feel this moment right now, it would have been a beautiful movie start to vanish. - That's what's crazy. - No, it's true. - And of course, I would like it if they also blew each other and then penetrate each other. - Yeah, they should have done penetrative sex in the courtroom. - But I think-- - Even if they were miming it, I'm fine with it. - You know what's crazy? It's like, they actually did the hard thing, which is making that premise three-dimensional and emotional. - Yeah. - And then they shot themselves in the foot by being like, and now we're gonna do a scene where we're grossed out by two men kissing. - Yeah, but are you surprised, though? - With where we were at as a culture, that's the thing. - Well, that's the thing. - I know, and that's why it's so tough, but there's a lot of good there. (laughing) - Unfortunately, I actually believe that. - So Adam is an Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler is in purviews to critique, which we've heard on this podcast, 'cause we've tried and were simply unable to, which I think is actually really cool. - At this point, I'm not gonna critique Adam Sandler. - No, and I don't want-- - No, I'm not gonna. - Can I just say I don't want to? I think we haven't even touched on his influence in the fashion world. - Literally. - Yeah. - So, and that might even be for another episode. But I think what's interesting, 'cause I rewatched Entourage, I rewatched it several times, actually. When Galker was still around, I was in a pitch, an essay about how it's a perfect television show. But unfortunately, then it went away. - That's too bad. - But when you watch it, he almost plays a gay character in the show. And it's like, it's just interesting to think about how the evolution of playing gay has unfolded. Because back in the day, it was like, if you played a gay character, that could actually hurt your career. And then people would like accuse you of being gay. And then it became like, "Oh, it's actually really prestigious to play gay." And then now it's like, actually if you play gay and you're not gay, like we'll like shoot you. - Yeah. - So it's just, it's kind of interesting how that has changed so quickly. It's sort of changed in the amount of time that Transparent was on TV. Because at first he was praised for being brave in that role. And then it became like, you should have never done that. So it's, you know. - No, totally. - Culture shifts rapidly. - I know, it's why it's so hard. - That's why having a podcast is so scary, I think, because and we're really brave for doing so. 'Cause as you know, I have one called Ride, things we say last week could all of a sudden be, you know? - Yeah. - We could be put on trial. - Literally. - Literally. And then on trial, you know, we might have to kiss another guy or something gross like that. - You can't put it out to prove your game. - Yeah. - So that you being in a heated rivalry actually checks out. - I guess that's what's gonna happen. - Those boys, I am so worried because you know that everyone is waiting to completely destroy them. - I mean, it's almost like vintage in a Britney Spears way where you're like, you guys. - A lot of men are being treated like women by the media lately. - You don't make it more. - I don't think you're. - More clavicular, of course. (laughing) - We have the heated rivalry guys. Someone I'll mention offline, I don't want to give him more airtime, but I've just noticed the discourse around him on the internet and with the media is very. It's like, it's, yeah, adjacent to like female celebrities. The way his words are picked apart and like people are mean to him. - Yeah. - Well people learned like they're like, "Okay, you're not supposed to like be that mean to female celebrities." And they're like, "But I love this language." And this is like. - And that makes me feel. - Yeah, so like, "Okay, I'll do it to men." - Yeah. - Yeah, I hope that the heated rivalry guys are okay. They were lovely when I met them at the globes. I think Hudson's engaged. - Oh, congratulations to everyone over there. - That's true. - They were very nice. - Yeah, they're sweet. They're sweet. - Hey, Portlandia fans. - You know us or rather, you know them. We've played a lot of iconic characters over the years, but today we're showing up as ourselves to tell you about Podlandia, AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast. - Each week we'll revisit an episode of Portlandia from the very beginning, breaking down the sketches, exploring the back stories of our most iconic characters, revisiting the Portland locations you know and love, and opening up about our creative process. Guest stars, collaborators and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself Kyle McGlockwyn, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. - Well, I thought he was going to write. - Listen to Podlandia. AO Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. - Oh no. - I'm Julie Pinierro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meaning people, and they were like, "You smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here." - I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. - It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies you're sold about it. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. - And Sean Clements. - We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook. - The show is famously super accessible so you can easily jump into any of our 650 episodes and understand what's going on. - The definition of what is a movie is kind of changed, and it ran too, right? - Danny McBride, you love that. - Oh, that's fantastic. Can you make it on, you make your own? That's great. I call him Terro Reed. - That's a good name. - They're all named after cast members of American Pipe. - Yeah, I call. I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Leechie Sobiaski. - Yeah, I don't think she was an American Pipe, but I just-- - I will get up. - She was prominent around the same time. - I'm worried. - Why are you talking so down to me that you think I don't understand your little play-game? - Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. - I'm Nick Terro. You probably know me from NYPD Blue, the longest shot, or Spike Lee's Black Plansman, but I'm also from Queens, which means I know pizza. And on my new podcast, "Delivering Happiness" with Nick Terro, I deliver pizza from Prince Street Pizza to a new guest. What are you doing, my bell? - To Alex Rodriguez. - Just to let you people know, we're talking to one of the goats here. - To Bill Burr. - I don't think I've ever met somebody so exactly out of their mind is I am. - And now we even have more great guests coming up, including the great John Titturo. - Let's go to happiness, delivering happiness. - Mariano Rivera. - Take it all, start growing up. Search "Delivering Happiness" with Nick Terro. And listen now. - Oh my god, I actually have a bone to pick with you. - Tell me what? - Okay, when we were at the Golden Globes, your director, the director of your upcoming Netflix special. - Kai. - Kai. - You're an upcoming Netflix special, Galaxy Brain. - Okay, thank you. - Galaxy Brain. - Yeah. - A phrase you coined, I believe. - Yeah, I came up with that. - Yes. - That's really good. We were at the after party. He did a classic, straight guy thing to me. Are you ready for it? - You do. - You know the archetype, and this is actually very will-fairl. Ben Stiller, I'm Sandler, coded. The archetype of the straight guy that loves messing with people. - Totally. Yeah, that's definitely still very alive and long. - Yes. So we were in this room, and Timmy and Kylie walked into me, the Shalameen Kylie Jenner. - Timmy and Kylie, she's on me. - And so I was with Kai. With him. And I turned him and I was like, "Oh, there's Timmy and Kylie." And he goes, "I don't know who they are." And I was like, no, it's like Timmy and Kylie. And he kept being like, "I don't know who those people are." I believed him. I started literally being like, Timothy Shalameen, like he was in the ping pong movie, and like Kylie's like one of the Kardashians. And I realized he was messing with me in like a straight guy way. And I just, after that interaction, I felt so completely destroyed emotionally. I was like, I cannot come back from this. - So the bone you have to pick with me is actually not even my- - Well, you have a part from him. - Actually, it's someone I associate with the creative- - Yes, you paid him out of pocket. - I paid him completely out of pocket for the work on the special. - Is that something his behavior generally? - I actually paid for him to come to that Golden Globes party as well. He definitely likes to do bids. I don't know that he maybe understands how much it's impacting people. - Did he see like, "Oh, that's like a wheat gay guy." He's like feeling a little out of place here because he's working with Mary Beth. And there's all these celebrities. I was having an increasing alarming interaction with the- - And he- - And I was like, "I'm gonna destroy him." - He said, "George looks like he could just, he's one, one failed bit away from utter demise." - That I was. - And he decided to just take the opportunity. No, I think he probably forgot that that happened. And he does do a lot of bids. You never know if he's being serious or not. So that's like, yeah, and in that way, it's, you know, it's like Adam Sandler-esque. - It is, yeah. - I would like to say, I think if I were to run for a political office, of course, all the economic things we all agree on. But I think I would try to also make dry humor illegal. - Oh, see, I love- This is what's complicated. Is that like- - I love dry humor. - And yeah, you don't- - I don't want to be a victim of it. No one you're being slapped in the face with it. - I know. - And so this is everyone who's dry humor was all of them. - I just want to know how you could have thought that somebody who is alive today on the internet. - And works in the industry. - I don't want to make them lame. But in what, how did you reconcile that in your head? - But I also never- - And it's not all you do meet someone who's like, "I haven't heard about that." Okay, so when we did our, this was like a couple of months ago, we did a show together, a live comedy show. - I've heard of them. - And I have, and I heard since, there was someone in the audience that turned to my friend and goes, "What is that?" We mentioned heated rivalry and this woman goes, "What is that?" And I friends like, "You know, the show." She's like, "I've never heard of it." - And this was like, - In the week. - It had been out for a while. - Yeah. - I guess there are people out there. I don't think that probably, I don't think that person probably works in entertainment. - Totally. - But, but totally, if that makes you feel better than totally. - It didn't make you feel better. - What I would say on top of that is that Kai then did the second most straight thing a person can do, which is he went to the bathroom. And when he tried to get back into the party, they wouldn't let him in. And instead of texting anyone, he just went home. - That's true, because he can't stand to be embarrassed like that. It's very vulnerable. - I'm saying nothing of like, I don't know. - That essentially is being penetrated. Well, it's like if a guy can't maybe perform sexually and rather than being like, give me a second, he's like, "I'm gonna do a mass shooting." - Right. - He's like, "I'm breaking up with you." - Yeah. - You're annoying. (laughing) (laughs) (laughing) (laughing) - Unfortunately, that is what it is. - No, that is true. That's true. It's happened to so many empowered women that I know. - Should we do a final segment? - Any final thoughts on Adam Sandler movies? - I guess like if you watch one that didn't age, well like I don't wanna hear that. (laughing) - Say that. - We're in such like actress press to remote where you're worried that someone's gonna cancel you for literally talking about Adam Sandler. - Well, I don't know if you know that like, if you say someone's name, sometimes they twist it as like an endorsement of the person, which is crazy, but it is happening online every day. And it's happening to people we love. And so I am scared, yeah, of course. I don't wanna do any more podcasts. - No. - I'm done. And I did your two more episodes of my own podcast tomorrow. But yeah, I'm trying to get better at just like saying stuff and if you don't agree with me, like that's actually fine. I mean, I already do that, but I feel like people aren't hearing me when I say that I don't care. If you have a different opinion to mine, I don't care 'cause mine's right. - And your podcast is a rewatch podcast of Roman Planskin Woody Allen films? - Yeah, and then we're gonna add in the Louis CK sort of the biography to that. - That's Patreon only though. - Well, that's Patreon, you have to subscribe. - Yeah. - And then well actually that brings me to a really good point that I was thinking of making on my own podcast today, but we didn't have time, which is that a lot of perverts have made good art. And it's just hard because like now I can't talk about Chinatown like in a top five because like it's Roman Planskis. Like I just, yeah, I wish that that wasn't the case. - Well, I do think being super horny helps you create because you're like, I gotta do something. - Some of us create and we don't harm others. And I guess I should say perverts is like a blanket term. Those specific perverts are also like sexual predators. - Yeah, it's not being a pervert. - It's not just being a pervert, but I'm just saying like as a pervert myself and I can only hope to make art as good one day as Midnight in Paris. It's just like, it's just hard that now like that's just something we can't really talk about. - Yeah, sometimes I worry I won't be perverted anymore. And I'll wake up and be like, well, what do I do now? - Well, what is it all for? - Yeah, I guess I'll just go work at a company. - Would you? - You know I can't do. - You do, I hurt corporate. (laughing) - What if I move over? That could be awesome. Okay, our final segment. What if like the marketing team got an email? It was like, so we've like gone with an internal hire and hit some Sam Taggart. He's the co-host of Stradio Lab. Recently we became unproverted and so he's looking for a career change. But then and you know in that sterile environment I get perverted all over again. - Exactly. - Why do you think you get-- - We get fired for harassment. (laughing) - They're not firing anyone for harassment anymore. That is two, 20 times. - What is he slap on the wrist? - It's not you got promoted. - Are you going to hit him? - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, I gotta talk to you. - We're all doing it. - Yeah, it's good. - One of the most confusing things about sexual harassment is actually, - Mm-hmm. - How is your hot? - It's okay. - No, it's like saying you're not gonna do something as harassing as saying you are gonna do. - Like what? - Like if you're walking in a room and you're like, "I'm not taking my forgiveness out." You shouldn't say that. - No, totally. Like and thank you for bringing this up because I keep walking in rooms and I'm like, (laughing) "Don't take your penis out." (laughing) - That's it, that's actually an even better example. - And then they're like, "We weren't ever thinking about doing that "and now you've made us uncomfortable." - Right. - And I go, "Well, it's my house and if you don't like it leave." - Yeah. - You know? - Yeah. - But please don't, I go, "Don't take your penis out." (laughing) - Like here's an example. It's like, let's say you're in an HR training and someone's like, "You're all demonstrate with Sam." Like you shouldn't give him a massage and it's like, "Don't touch him." - Mm-hmm. - Are you people doing that? - Probably. - I started training that was like on Zoom and there were obviously like 400 people on the call. - Right. - And which is code for everyone, Mewds and Trance Camera. - And like CBF. - And Jirksip. - They're all jerking off camera off. - And the person was getting so-- - You guys are talking about co-workers boning each other. - I'm hard. So they would be like, there would be parts where they'd be like, "So is this sexual assault?" That's a question. And no one's listening. And he'd go like, "Seriously, hello." Like no one's gonna answer the question. There was like, "No, you haven't been doing this for like, however long you know no one wants to answer this question." - Just say I'm in the chat, this could have been an email. - Literally. And by the way, I wouldn't have read it either. - Right. But like, I feel like those, it's like almost like sexual harassment for monkeys. It's like, well, yeah, of course I'm not gonna like finger my co-worker meeting. It's literally like, which is the fine thing should you not do? Buy your co-worker coffee, log into your email or finger your co-worker in the meetings. Again, they're well and they're saying stop. I don't want to do that. And all the other co-workers are watching. And then it's also caught on camera. - And you're like, "Mmm, buy coffee." - I don't know. That's hard. - Ooh. Ooh. - Ooh. - You guys, we have to do our final segment. - I wanna acknowledge that I'm not Wenger Bra. And like, my boobs are what they are. So just deal with it. If it's shocking to you. - That's defensiveness today. - I know. It's interesting. - My brain is so fried. Like, I actually need to go to that island. - I do want to use the island. - I need to go play this thing. - If there's one regret I have this episode as we didn't get into the island more. - More, we could do this. - But that'll be for, you know. - We'll do a meditation. We'll do an episode that's a short meditation. - Okay, perfect. I've been wanting to branch out into short meditation. - You could still sell ads. That's a good part. - Well, it's mostly ads. - You can put ads for joining the IDF still in your. - Well, do not get us started on that. Because it did. - It did. - It did happen. - I'm like, keep going. - I know, 'cause my sister texted me about it. - Eat. - She was, I was like, "I need a straight-ear lab." - And then add for the IDF and. - Well, it in fact wasn't for the IDF. It was for evangelical Christians that want to go to the biblical homeland. - But yes. - But yes, they are not there anymore. - Oh good. - We hope. - There's no way of knowing. - They are not there. - You guys all listen, so there's no way of knowing. - No, no, no, we are. - My sister would text me. - Well, have your sister text us. - It's, you know, if it comes up again, my sister will text me. - Thank you. - But let us know. - Yeah, I will. - We appreciate everyone that lets us know. - Yes, and we are reading those messages and then kind of freaking out. - Yeah, and we are sending an email. - Yes. - So our file is called Shoutouts and we pay homage to the grand tradition of the radio shoutout and shoutout. Anything that we are enjoying, people places things, ideas. We make them up on the spot. And George and I will go first. - Okay. - George, do you have one? Nope. Well, that's awesome news. (laughing) That is awesome news. Okay, what's up, Freaks, losers and perverts around the globe? I want to give a shout out to just like, yeah, when you have a problem, actually doing the thing to solve it, instead of just saying I have this problem. - No, thank you so much. - Because my phone dies really fast all the time. Of course it does. And of course you can buy those little battery packs that you can plug into on the go. And I'm saying, I don't want to do that. I actually like suffering. I mean, my phone died and having everyone have to care about me. But then I was like, why? Why don't you just, me just always like, hey, do you want to use the pack? And I'm like, no, I want to complain. But then it's like, stop. It's time to grow up. Use the little pack and charge your fucking phone. And so I've been carrying the little pack around with me because I'm in New York City. And God knows if my phone dies, I die. So I'm suddenly now able to relax and say, well, if I, my phone starts dying, I can just plug in a little thing. Problems do have solutions. And I know that you are addicted to suffering and having problems. And that's maybe not the best way to live your life. Use the portable phone charger. You look like a loser, but it's fine. I'm so excited. I want to give a shout out to my dear friend, Claire Caracillo's debut novel, The Responsible Party. It is coming out, I believe this month. An extra bit is in this month's Harper's. And I, you know, it's rare that a book makes you laugh out loud. As we know, one of the biggest lies people say is that a book was laugh out loud, funny, when all they mean is that it was horrible and should never be read by anyone. Now that's not what I'm doing here. This is actually a genuinely laugh out loud, funny book. It is about literal, complex women characters in a real way, not in a sort of like, you describe them that way because they're actually not complex. And it is about a mother and a daughter and it is about the rest of their family. I don't want to give away too much, but it is so funny. I was laughing the entire time. It is about shipwrecks, broadly speaking, which I know and don't ask me how people love reading about shipwrecks. One time when I was working at a journalistic outlet of some sort, someone was basically like shipwrecked cell. So was that your worker? Nope. If you work at Netflix, get in touch. And that's my show. I would love to shout out to all those dreamers and beautiful people listening out there that I do have a Netflix comedy special called Galaxy Brain. It is available now. I believe, depending on when this comes out, but it is laugh out loud, funny from start to finish. I think you're going to love it. And I'm wearing a really pretty dress in it. And I think that it's really just for you to watch and enjoy, devour, and dissect, criticize, celebrate kind of any way that you want to experience it. I think you should. And I can't wait to meet all of you at the Galaxy Brain ball and kiss you on the mouth. There will be kissing booths. And that is sold out. Unfortunately, it's at $3 on July 31. So it also may have already happened by the time this comes out. But it's true. I just think we should all laugh more. And so that's my goal. Woo! Wow. Well, this has been a real treat.
