Podcast. Mama Mia
0:05
acknowledges the traditional owners of
0:07
land and waters that this podcast is
0:09
recorded on. Hello,
0:19
and welcome to canceled. The podcast that
0:21
looks at silly celebrity crimes and assigned
0:23
charges and sentences to them so we
0:25
can all move on with our lives. I'm
0:28
Claire Stevens, and I'm Jessie Stevens.
0:30
I thought you can say how I'm joined by.
0:33
Jessie Stevens. Fine. Jessie,
0:35
you have a lazy girl. Story. I
0:37
do. Look, I have a few as
0:39
always. I have one from our friend
0:41
who said that she's been too lazy
0:43
to think of like how to write this,
0:45
but she says that she's fallen
0:48
asleep in a DJ booth in the middle
0:50
of a wedding and on a bridge. And
0:52
I don't know if she was walking or driving
0:54
on the bridge or
0:56
just walking across the bridge.
0:58
I think there's a point where I'd go, I'll
1:01
just pull up for just a brief nap. Yeah.
1:03
For just a brief rest. Yeah. She also said
1:05
in a separate message when she kind of mustered the
1:07
energy to continue her story. She said I vacuum
1:09
my kitchen. Okay? And
1:12
then we had another woman who said,
1:14
love the podcast, lazy girl story.
1:17
And then she said, sorry, it's taking me so long.
1:19
Contact you, Doug, thought, you know. And
1:21
then she says to me a common thing. I
1:23
was putting my hair up for work running
1:25
late. I realized I'd left a piece of hair out of her
1:27
ponytail that she'd put up.
1:28
And then and then What did she do?
1:31
Did she cut the excess? She
1:34
saw his is, and she was like, gosh.
1:38
I could really do the ponytail or
1:40
I could everyday just cut off the face.
1:42
It doesn't fit. That's what she did.
1:45
And of course, our favorite of the week
1:47
which was on one of our posts on Instagram.
1:49
Someone wrote, I just wanna say thanks for normalizing
1:52
laziness. There has always been such
1:54
a negative stigma attached to it, and it feels
1:56
good to be seen. In nineteen
1:58
twenty three, a study of laziness was,
2:01
and then she left her for
2:03
a bit. And then she followed up and said,
2:05
no. Sorry too late for the future.
2:08
I love her. I actually think
2:10
that that's incredibly true that we've
2:12
normalized so many things -- Yeah.
2:14
these days. Now we need to normalize laziness.
2:17
Yeah. Because what we've done is we're really glorified
2:19
hustle culture. I'm not here for it.
2:21
No. Because I'm too tired. Yeah. I tried to
2:23
make lazy girl sort of a thing on
2:25
TikTok the other night, and I was like, hashtag
2:28
lazy girl, like, kind of lazy girl
2:30
talk. I even like full do day. I didn't know. I didn't
2:32
know. I didn't know. Lazy girl talk. I feel fucking
2:34
kicked off. Just some
2:36
time. She looks at it and she thinks,
2:38
oh, make one of those ones. No. It never does.
2:40
So that's why it hasn't really gone off.
2:42
But lazy girls can like it.
2:44
I was gonna say, lazy girls are spending a lot
2:46
of time possibly -- Yes. -- on picked
2:49
Exactly. But
2:50
Jesse, on today's f side. We're
2:52
talking about Selena Gomez. And I gotta
2:54
keep an eye off with Selena. We can't call
2:56
her Lazy Girl. I think if she's a singer
2:58
actor. For Lisa, she's actually not a Lazy
3:00
Girl. And she's never been a lazy girl.
3:03
She hasn't been lazy. She was a kid
3:05
and she was worse. Yeah. She was. She
3:07
is fighting with friend of the camp council
3:10
courtroom, Hailey Bieber -- Mhmm. -- and another
3:12
friend of the Council courtroom, Kylie Jenner.
3:14
In a feud, we think started because she
3:16
used to be in a relationship with another
3:18
friend of the cancel courtroom, the man
3:20
who thought Anne Frank would have been for Villeva
3:23
and the father of mourning. Justin
3:25
Vida. Alright. So what we've got is a bit of a
3:27
web. And sometimes you'll
3:29
know this. Sometimes you go
3:32
to court and you see that what's happening append is
3:35
that someone's just been spending a lot of time with criminals,
3:38
or they're wrapped up in the drama
3:40
with other criminals who wanted that with oprah? Yeah.
3:42
So the police just go, not sure
3:44
what you've done. Feel like you should
3:46
go to court. Yeah. Why have you been so associated
3:49
with criminals? Like, Tabuchar. That's
3:52
the case with Selena. Selena
3:55
Marie Gomez is an American singer
3:57
actress producer and businesswoman. Apparently
4:00
rare beauty is quite good. And when I realized that
4:02
was her, it's like, oh, that's like
4:04
legit. It's not like Hailey Bieber's.
4:07
What's her thing called load
4:09
skin care. Right. Yeah. But no
4:11
rare beauty is always sold out at Sephora.
4:13
Probably it's amazing. Can't get my hands on
4:15
it. Yep. Jesse, did you know
4:17
that as a child Selena was on Bonnie
4:19
and friends.
4:20
I love you. Yes.
4:23
I did because I watched the first
4:25
half of my documentary. Oh, right.
4:28
Yeah. I haven't seen it. Well, as an adult,
4:30
I feel weird about Barney. Why?
4:32
I don't know. He's Just why does he enjoy
4:34
hanging out with children so much? And he's got this
4:36
weird little laugh that he does at the end of every
4:39
song. Did we watch fun? Did
4:41
you know that laughing is good for
4:43
you? Just like eating healthy
4:45
food and exercising.
4:47
Yes. Yes. I don't know.
4:49
I was never really that into it. There were a lot of kids'
4:51
shows that I never really got that into. Was like, I
4:53
don't know where this is on, mom. I think we're
4:56
a bit cynical as kids. Yeah. It's a purple
4:58
dinosaur. It's not real. Yeah. We're much preferred
5:00
from bananas and pajamas. Johnson
5:03
and friends. Anyway So she was on Bonnie.
5:05
She was on Bonnie. Then she gets Eric
5:07
Herring role on Hanamonta. Yeah. But she
5:09
became famous starring as Alex Russo
5:11
on Disney's wizards of
5:13
Waverly
5:14
Place. And it's important to note that for
5:16
a generation just below us,
5:18
very famous.
5:19
You know everything's gonna be a breeze. And
5:21
we're a little old facility. We're a little old
5:24
facility. We were born in nineteen
5:26
ninety. If you're born in about ninety five.
5:29
Ira boomers was a gal. Yes.
5:31
Maybe Hillary Duff was more out. She's
5:33
a little bit older. But for a long
5:35
time, I was like, who is this girl? Where did
5:37
she come from? She also
5:39
appeared in movies like another
5:41
Cinderella story, Spring Breakers, and
5:44
one of my favorite movies of
5:46
all time. And when I say this, people think I'm
5:48
joking, but I'm not. Bad neighbors
5:50
too, sorority. Yeah. That was actually a
5:52
great film.
5:53
Welcome to Fi Lambda. Hi.
5:58
What are you doing? We don't hit joints in here.
6:00
Your parties must suck. No. We don't throw
6:02
parties here. In the United States, rioritize
6:04
are not allowed to third parties on their own houses.
6:07
Only friends, Tim. This is a sexist and
6:09
a strictest
6:10
systematic. We're bizarre subordinate to the party
6:12
the way that we want what's the name of our story?
6:14
Caba. Yeah. That was actually
6:17
a great film. I'm not joking. I'm
6:19
not joking in incredible film, Incredible
6:21
cast, Roseburn, Zach Fauci, and watching.
6:23
Uh-huh. Is that genuinely funny, uh-huh.
6:26
Jesse, she executive produced
6:28
thirteen reasons why. And that
6:30
in itself, we don't even need to take any further. That's
6:33
a crime because I think that might be one of the worst
6:35
shows ever created by humanity. Okay.
6:38
If you killed yourself, but what if you continue to
6:40
troll everyone. Be on the grave.
6:42
What if? Selena terrible. It was originally meant
6:44
to be a film starring, none other than
6:46
Selena Gomez. Really? Then it became
6:48
the table. Did I make a second, Siri? Jesse,
6:51
there are four. Really? By the
6:53
fourth, people got very upset. Yeah.
6:55
We're milking. She now
6:58
executive producers and stars and Hulu's
7:00
only murders in the building, oh, which is actually
7:02
meant to be really
7:03
good. Apparently, it's amazing. She's been nominated for like
7:05
Emmys and stuff. Well do you know your neighbors?
7:09
You see many of them every day, but
7:11
have you ever wondered? What
7:13
goes on behind their door? I can't push
7:16
you just hit them with the charm. Good. Excellent.
7:18
So I'll take the lead on this. Excuse
7:20
me. Well, I can turn on the charm. Is
7:22
it on now?
7:25
It's warming up. In terms of her music career,
7:27
she originally released three albums with
7:29
her band, Selena Gomez, I'm the scene.
7:35
Never heard of it. Then she went
7:37
solo with singles like come and
7:39
get it. Yep. And also
7:41
-- Good for you. -- good
7:43
for And also, hands to myself.
7:46
Can't keep my can't keep my hands to myself
7:49
and lose you to love me. That's
7:52
a huge song that's meant to be about Justin
7:54
Bieber. Cut doesn't come to
7:56
mind. Okay. I should've
7:58
viewed it. I feel as though if I
8:00
started singing it might come out. Yeah.
8:03
But interesting. She is the most followed
8:05
woman on Instagram as a step of
8:07
her and bloody cristiano
8:09
Ronaldo, whatever his name is, because
8:12
you must be big in. Same.
8:14
Yes. Really big population
8:17
there. Now, you might be thinking, guys,
8:19
I'm sure I've heard you talk about Selena
8:21
before uncanceled. You're sure you went to a
8:23
state where we accidentally brought her up every episode
8:25
when she wasn't related, and we kept saying we
8:27
should do a whole episode on her and now we are.
8:30
Claire, why did we keep bringing Celine
8:32
goes up. Because a listener reached
8:34
out to us to
8:35
say, look, I'm not a reporter.
8:38
But it would have been a child. Sorry.
8:41
I'm looking around the room for a reporter. Continue.
8:44
I mean, it's not about being a reporter. It's
8:46
about having opinions. But it would appear that Selena
8:48
Gomez's best friend donated her
8:51
kidney to her, and then Selena wasn't
8:53
nice to the kidney, and it's no longer
8:55
close with the friend. We hadn't fact
8:57
checked this. No. But we liked the dear
8:59
of it. A, being a bitch to the person who
9:01
gave it to you and b, treating
9:04
that kidney like she yeah.
9:06
That phrase side us. A lot of moral questions.
9:08
Yeah. And we thought Yeah. -- whose kidney
9:10
is that? It was You
9:12
know what? This isn't a case for a real courtroom.
9:14
Mhmm. Maybe it is. Actually. This
9:17
is an ethical dilemma. This is a case for
9:19
the council call room. My structure for
9:21
today is as follows. Selena,
9:23
a v Hayley, v Kylie, c
9:25
c just to pick up. Yes. Like, I
9:27
understand completely. The
9:30
kidney? Yeah. A rude interview.
9:32
Her feud with Lord, and
9:35
being problematic, mostly according to
9:37
Tumblr, Jesse, Selena,
9:39
Hailey, and Kylie. At some
9:41
point, I've got I've
9:44
wasted half the documentary and I had
9:46
some masks. I've got a place to insert
9:48
your thoughts. I've actually structured because
9:50
you often insert your thoughts Let's
9:55
start at the beginning of the Hailey Bieber,
9:58
Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner story because
10:00
it is so
10:01
bizarre, and you're gonna think is about
10:03
it. Alright. And the answer
10:06
will be? Yep. Hailey
10:08
Bieber is married to Justin Bieber,
10:11
everyone over. Who Selena dated on
10:13
and off for eight years? Justin
10:16
and Selena took a break in March
10:18
twenty eighteen. By July
10:21
of that year, he had proposed to
10:23
Hayley. No one talks about
10:25
this. It's all anyone
10:27
on the internet talks about. So close.
10:30
So I feel like there's weird vibes there.
10:32
And then Kiley, Jenna,
10:34
and Selena Gomez have been neck and neck for most
10:36
followed woman on Instagram, and
10:38
I feel like there's some tension. Firstly,
10:42
in January, paparazzi photos of Selena
10:44
Gomez in a bikini are published, and
10:46
she is widely body shamed, is horrible.
10:49
Shortly after, Hailey Bieber
10:51
posted TikTok featuring herself,
10:54
Kendall Jenner, and singer Justin
10:56
Sky, lip syncing to the
10:58
words. But
10:59
I'm not saying she deserved it, but
11:01
I'm saying God's timing is always
11:03
right. And it isn't that just trained
11:06
on taking lots of people. Yeah.
11:08
Alright. Now Hailey
11:10
ended up deleting the video, which some
11:12
people thought was evidence that it really
11:14
was aimed at Selena. When
11:17
one person shared Hailey's video
11:19
and said Hailey as a bitch, Selena
11:22
liked that video. And then commented,
11:24
it's okay. I don't let these things get me down.
11:27
Be nice to everyone. Alright. I need
11:29
your take. That
11:31
video was not a dick at Selena.
11:33
Was it? It's hard to see it as a dick
11:35
at Selena. It's a long pretty long
11:38
bow. This is common theme
11:40
that we'll get to later on if this
11:42
is bullying. Yes. It's
11:44
bad bullying. Because the
11:46
vague -- Gotta be quicker and harsh. -- to say
11:48
more explicit. As
11:50
a bystander? Who
11:53
should be willing to jump in? Yeah.
11:55
I'm confused. Bling
11:58
should never, and you can quote us on this. We'll put
12:00
it in the book. Bling should never be confusing.
12:04
Just slightly off here. Yes. Are
12:06
you bullying you or not? And also, what
12:08
are we bullying of? Which is fine.
12:10
It's fine. Well, bully. Yeah.
12:12
But we just need to know what we're doing and --
12:14
Yeah. -- who it's who it's named that one.
12:17
Haley then commented saying it
12:19
was just fun. Final and girl's not, wasn't
12:21
directed at anyone. Okay. But
12:24
put that to the side because that's not even the drama.
12:26
Let's just a little bit of backstory. It's
12:28
February twenty one. And on TikTok
12:30
and Instagram stories, Selena posts
12:32
this video. And it's her.
12:35
think she's got a filter that kind
12:37
of makes her look Bella Hadid
12:39
ish. Mhmm. So my
12:42
name my name is Bella
12:44
Hadid. But Over
12:46
the top of the video, it says, I wish
12:48
I was as pretty as Bella Hitted. Then
12:51
she posts another video showing her
12:53
eyebrows. Where she says, instead,
12:55
this is me, I laminated my eyebrows
12:58
too much. My name is Selena Gomez,
13:00
c. It doesn't even sound sexy. She's
13:02
being self deprecating saying Bella
13:05
Hadid is prettier than me. Is that very
13:07
beautiful? Yep. And I think I did my
13:09
eyebrows. Yeah. It was all baby, man. Kiley
13:12
Jenna shortly after her,
13:14
then post this to
13:17
her stories. Jessie, explain
13:19
what you say. I see Kylie Jenner
13:21
being like, this was an
13:24
accident? Question
13:26
mark. But I don't know what's an accident.
13:28
Maybe her eyebrows, but then she's written it over
13:30
eyebrows. I don't really understand.
13:33
But then, Kylie, it looks like she
13:35
posted a screenshot of her and Hailey Bieber
13:37
on face time with a close-up
13:39
of their eyes and eyebrows. So
13:42
it does sort of look like two high school
13:44
girls. Making
13:46
fun of an eyebrow remark. What
13:48
is that a long shot? No. That's exactly
13:51
what everybody thought.
13:54
But, I mean, they've all had their eyebrows emanated.
13:56
I assume. I assume so. But I guess my
13:58
question is, like, if it's throwing shade,
14:01
Explain it to me. What's
14:04
the shade? You're talking
14:06
about eyebrows? You
14:09
got your eyebrows laminated? The
14:11
following slane of gum is ugly then.
14:13
I like like be more
14:15
explicit. Yeah. Yeah. That's the inside. I don't
14:18
understand. I I would ignore this because I'd
14:20
go if they're trying to bully me, then
14:22
the bank too bad. Yeah. Yeah. And people
14:24
are going to be confused. So
14:26
what happened from there? So then everyone loses
14:28
their shit. Like, literally, there
14:30
are videos with millions and millions
14:33
and millions of views where
14:35
Selena's fans are saying that Kylie and Hayley
14:37
were being bullied and mean girls, and
14:39
they're like, they're wives and mothers. Great
14:42
point. And here's the thing. Kendall
14:45
or Kylie or whatever that is.
14:48
Kylie Kylie Kylie Kylie Kylie was only in baby
14:50
lip think Okay. -- the beavers and
14:52
the janitors. Mhmm. I have no
14:55
doubt they have a group chat on what Oh,
14:57
gosh. Called Selina's being
14:59
annoying on TikTok. Yeah. Where they share
15:01
Selina's TikTok's and they go her eyebrows
15:03
as stupid, have I've laid out. Are
15:06
they stupid enough? To post it
15:08
to their millions and millions of followers.
15:11
Perhaps. I guess my
15:13
question is, I've got two
15:15
things. It's like if it's bullying. Yeah.
15:18
But if it's not bullying also, like,
15:22
Yeah. Weird content. Weird content.
15:25
Because they've come out and been
15:26
like, no. No. No. No. No. It was
15:29
nothing just random. And it's like,
15:31
can you also just explain
15:32
that to me? Why were you on FaceTime
15:35
sharing photos of your audio? Like,
15:37
I'm pretty sure you charge a million dollars for purse.
15:39
Yeah. So we're just throwing out post about eyebrows.
15:42
We're cheapening our own brand. On February twenty
15:44
two, Kylie comments on a video,
15:46
speculating she had thrown
15:48
shade at Selena. Saying, this
15:50
is reaching no shade towards Selena
15:53
ever, and I didn't see her eyebrows. You
15:55
guys are making something out of nothing. This is
15:57
silly. Okay. Selena responds
15:59
a greed Kylie Jenner. It's
16:02
all unnecessary. I'm a fan of Kylie.
16:05
Oh, done. I believe. Ten?
16:08
No. Oh, because the
16:10
thing about Selena is
16:13
that she's like, I hate the drama. I hate the drama.
16:15
Nothing's happening. But she loves And
16:17
then she constantly goes and likes posts
16:19
and leaves comments which fuel the
16:22
drama. Mhmm. Am I complaining? No.
16:24
Thank god. This is the new cycle for like,
16:26
oh, yeah. Yeah. The next day, she
16:28
starts liking a bunch of fans
16:31
TikToks. Including one from a fan
16:33
who criticized Mean Girls and Napo
16:35
babies for attacking Selena. She
16:38
also defended her friend, Taylor Swift,
16:40
In the comments of a TikTok video that showed
16:42
Hailey Bieber pretending to vomit when
16:45
Taylor was mentioned, so it's like they're
16:47
talking about Taylor Swift lyrics
16:50
and the punch lines about Taylor. And
16:52
as her name's mentioned, Hailey's
16:54
like -- Yeah. -- and pretends to vomit. Does
16:56
that mean? Was it in a mean Yeah. Was it in
16:58
a mean way? Yeah. Okay. What I will
17:00
say is that that was probably from, like,
17:02
two thousand seventeen, two thousand eighteen. Right. We're
17:04
digging this. When which your seven,
17:07
which is Hailey Bieber's age. That was
17:10
a long time ago. Yep. Yep. Yep. And so
17:12
it is weird to just drag stuff up and
17:14
be offended But Selena commented
17:16
on that video so sorry
17:18
my best friend is and continues to be
17:20
one of the best in the game. So she's
17:23
defending her friend, Taylor Swift. She
17:26
then says she's taking a break from social media
17:28
because she's thirty and she's
17:30
too old for this. Yeah. Right.
17:32
Shit. She's too old. A
17:34
weak lady comes back. I'm just
17:36
gonna resume. Resume. Sorry.
17:39
Sorry, ma'am. My thing about this is that
17:41
Hailey and Kylie, if they are bullying,
17:45
Very bad at bullying. Yeah. Very,
17:47
very bad. The LA Times described
17:49
the story as comprising a
17:51
vanishingly small amount of drama
17:53
-- Mhmm. -- and that's really accurate.
17:56
Like, an enormous amount of
17:58
content. Minimal drama
18:01
for maximum content, and that
18:03
I appreciate. Like, what actually happened?
18:07
You know? Yeah. Yeah. That
18:11
took me. What I just presented
18:13
to you took me like four hours.
18:16
You can just get a vibe that they're shade.
18:20
That that happened. That's what we're entering
18:22
into the courtroom. Shade. You
18:25
know when sometimes there's drama and you're like,
18:27
I don't want drama and you say that. But
18:29
then you do so you lean back into
18:31
it. Mhmm. And then you just like, start
18:33
a fire and leave again. Mhmm. That's what's happening.
18:35
Yeah. And that's what Selena's doing, and I can relate
18:37
to that. Yeah. You got I'm above this,
18:39
and then you're like, actually, I'm gonna call mom.
18:41
You know? Yeah. Actually, I'm not.
18:44
Yeah. I'm not. Selena
18:46
won, I think, because
18:48
she got heaps of followers. Kiley
18:50
and Selena were neck and neck, like,
18:52
three hundred and eighty mille? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. On
18:54
its stuff. And then I
18:57
believe Kylie went down
18:59
buy a cup of meal? Selena went up buy
19:02
a cup of meal. Then people in
19:04
Spain. They know what's up.
19:06
The question also is, Selina,
19:09
one but one what? No
19:11
one no one knows. No. So
19:14
far not canceled. So far
19:16
not canceled.
19:26
Moving on to the kidney. Selena
19:29
met fellow actor, Francia Raiser
19:31
-- Mhmm. -- in two thousand and seven,
19:33
and they instantly became best friends. That's
19:36
a very see a razor is
19:39
currently in how I met your father. This
19:43
is the story. Of
19:45
how I met your father. But she was in
19:47
secret life of an American teenager? That's
19:49
where I know her from. Okay. Who's on I didn't realize
19:52
she an actress. I just thought she was selina's face.
19:55
Alright. No. She's an act door in
19:57
her own right. In two thousand and
19:59
seventeen, three years after being diagnosed
20:01
with autoimmune disease lupus, Francia
20:04
donated her kidney to Selena. Basically,
20:06
lupus was causing Selena's kidneys to
20:09
fail and the demand for kidneys is so
20:11
high it was going to take years.
20:13
So what you can do is
20:15
see if you have a match within
20:17
your personal life. And some people like talk
20:20
to their family and there's no one who's a match.
20:22
But she found a match. And I watched
20:25
video where Francia explains the
20:27
whole process. She says she agreed
20:29
to get tested, but the way she found
20:31
out she was a match was unexpected. It's
20:34
a bit of long story, but Francia let
20:37
Selena's assistant know
20:39
that she was keen to get
20:42
tested. Mhmm. And
20:44
she wanted to, like, surprise
20:46
Selena when I found out I was a
20:48
match. It wasn't the way I expect did.
20:50
One day, I got a phone call from
20:52
Selena, a FaceTime. And
20:55
she's like, for a match. And
20:57
I'm like,
21:01
Yay. What?
21:03
How do you know this? I had a way that
21:05
I wanted to tell
21:06
her. When I made the decision. I knew I was
21:08
gonna happen. I just knew that time. Like, it's it's
21:10
big thing. So she's retelling the story. She
21:12
sounds really sarcastic. Yeah. And she
21:14
said, how do you know this? She
21:17
says, she had this way that
21:19
she wanted to tell Selena, and so when Selena
21:21
told her she was angry. And
21:24
she called her social worker who is working
21:27
with her on the whole
21:27
thing. So I hang up and I call my social
21:30
worker and I'm angry and she
21:32
told me it's gonna be hard.
21:35
The recipient is gonna glow
21:37
and she's gonna recover a lot faster than
21:39
the donors because she's receiving something she
21:41
needs. You're losing something you don't
21:43
need to lose. It's gonna be hard
21:45
and it was very hard.
21:47
Do you get the sense that
21:49
France here didn't know what it meant
21:51
to Dino Kidney. Yes. Like I feel as though,
21:53
alright, my friend needs a kidney, and I feel
21:55
like everyone and as
21:57
a fun thing goes and gets tested. She
22:01
gets real when you test as
22:03
a match. Mhmm. And then it's just
22:05
assumed that you're giving your kidney.
22:08
I feel as though we're missing a step, which
22:10
is fancier deciding to give her the kidney.
22:12
Yes. I think She had
22:14
wanted it to be this big moment -- Mhmm.
22:17
-- where she kind of presented it
22:19
and maybe the fact that that moment was taken away
22:21
made her feel a bit funny. But in this video, you could tell.
22:24
She's very honest about how scary
22:26
it was. Yeah. Francia
22:28
says they make you take a two hour
22:30
course to educate you on what giving up kidney
22:32
means for your life and was just a scary process
22:35
learning everything. In September
22:37
twenty seventeen, so after the surgery,
22:39
Selena shared that
22:41
photo that a lot of people have seen
22:43
of France, yeah, and her -- Yeah. -- hospital. And
22:46
she writes in the caption. Finally,
22:48
there aren't words to describe how I can possibly
22:50
thank my beautiful friend, Francis Eraza.
22:53
She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by
22:55
donating her kidney to me. I'm incredibly
22:57
blessed. I love you so much, Seth. This
22:59
is a rogue question. Drucking
23:02
beget paid? No.
23:05
I don't think so. Okay. It sounded
23:07
like it was a very altruistic. Yep.
23:09
Type five. I think organ harvesting.
23:12
Would that if you're paying for someone's kid? In the North
23:14
America. True. I wouldn't think so
23:16
in Australia, but I just wonder I
23:18
don't know if it feels wrong. In twenty eighteen, you wanna
23:20
get them something? Yeah.
23:23
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to pay to somebody's
23:26
organ. You'd get them something. Gotta be out the kind
23:28
of art. In twenty
23:30
eighteen, a rumor starts that
23:32
Francia and Selena have fallen out because
23:34
of Selena's unhealthy lifestyle and
23:36
excessive drinking that would damage
23:39
the kidney fancier gave her. I
23:41
need to state the
23:43
extent to which there is nothing
23:46
to support this particular claim.
23:48
Right. As he in France has never
23:50
said anything, Selena's never said
23:52
anything, people have said anything,
23:54
include people on social media.
23:56
Quite something back to you. What? Whether
23:59
it's smokeless fire. Alright?
24:01
Where there it's smokeless fire? Hey. What I'm
24:03
saying? Is some smoke. Girl,
24:05
a little bit of smoke. Alright. Well, we don't know where
24:07
it's coming from, but I wonder
24:09
if Celine thinks of
24:12
Transya. Every time that she weighs.
24:14
Yeah. Does she think? Because everything she
24:16
drinks goes through France. Yeah.
24:19
Yeah. And out her, you reiterate. Okay.
24:22
Well, keep that in mind
24:24
that if that smoke, that's fire because we do get -- Okay.
24:27
-- bit of a blow up. But if social
24:29
media is anything to go by,
24:31
they did seem a bit hot and cold for
24:33
a few years. Whereas you think you'd be pretty
24:35
hot. In a
24:37
TikTok video at the end of twenty twenty
24:39
one, Selena did a due
24:42
with a doctor. And so a duet
24:44
is when you've just found a video
24:47
and then you, like, stitch it together and you say
24:49
it. You do it side by side and it's you reacting
24:51
to it. Yeah. So the doctor
24:53
is citing the CDC's definition
24:55
of heavy drinking as fifteen
24:57
or more drinks away for men and eight or more
24:59
drinks per week for women. And in
25:02
the video, Selena is listening to the doctor
25:04
and reacting by biting
25:06
her nail and wincing and being like,
25:09
oh. So she was essentially
25:11
saying, I'm a heavy drinker. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
25:13
Yeah. And it's like would you feel weird was your kidney?
25:15
Yes. One special kidney is
25:17
like I don't know. It's like working
25:19
hard. It's like trade my kidney well. Yeah.
25:23
Yeah. One fan wrote, so
25:25
one of your best friends gives you her kidney
25:28
and you continue to drink excessively. Damn
25:30
Selena. And Selena
25:33
responded, it was a joke
25:35
ass. Oh. I don't
25:37
understand the word hasn't
25:40
been like that. Not really. No. Not really.
25:42
But I guess she's saying it was a joke. I
25:44
was just kidding. Okay. I'm not a
25:46
heavy drinker. Basically, the idea
25:48
is that you shouldn't drink a lot after a kidney
25:50
donation because the kidneys of heavy
25:53
drinkers have to work harder and heavy
25:55
drinking on a regular basis has been found
25:57
to double the risk for kidney disease. So
25:59
there is a link between drinking and drinking. You've been
26:01
given a fresh one. You've been given a new one.
26:04
But I guess the moral question is
26:06
if someone gives you that kidney,
26:09
do they get a say of how you treat
26:11
that kidney. Always.
26:13
Slash do I get a say in how you treat
26:15
that other person's kidney? I
26:18
think we get to do a
26:20
naughty thing every now and then we just don't broadcast
26:23
it because people feel possessive
26:26
of their organs in other people. Right.
26:28
But more than that, because you
26:31
now have one kidney. Yeah. And
26:34
it's like, you don't have the
26:36
luxury. Of going hard on
26:38
drinking now. Right? Yeah. Then
26:41
Selena's documentary comes out last
26:43
year. Me, me, you, and me, and my
26:45
mind. Yes. Me,
26:47
you, my mind, and
26:48
me. Yes. No.
26:51
We shouldn't make fun, but every documentary
26:53
is called me, myself, and
26:55
I. And my mind. And
26:58
and me and pieces of
27:02
love. My
27:05
story plays the right. This is a view,
27:07
and my mind didn't make it. Okay.
27:11
Anyway, she makes this documentary. Incredibly
27:13
candid about her mental health struggles. Fransia
27:16
doesn't get a mention. Shucks about lupus.
27:18
Shucks about her conditional on. She mentions that
27:20
she got a transplant. But she doesn't
27:23
say who from. And again,
27:25
there's a lack of
27:28
referencing. Yeah. There is.
27:30
And you would think
27:32
you might mention it in passing, or
27:34
you would think if they were still friends. Francia
27:37
might just in passing be in the documentary. Yeah.
27:40
A lot of her friends feature. Mhmm. Not Francia.
27:42
In the promo for my mind
27:44
and me, Selina didn't interview with Rolling
27:47
Stone, and she said, I never fit
27:49
in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities.
27:51
My only friend in the industry really
27:53
is His
27:56
tailor swept. So I remember like
27:59
of her. So I remember feeling like
28:01
I didn't belong. Now when
28:03
enews shared that quote on Instagram
28:05
on like a tile, Francia commented.
28:08
One word. Interesting. Which?
28:13
Love that choice of words? I wanna comment
28:15
that on ever just anything. Something.
28:17
Someone shares, like, they're engagement. Interesting.
28:21
I would comment. I'm France. Yeah. I say that. I
28:23
comment five words. What? I'll
28:26
have my
28:28
kidney Back. Plus.
28:31
Exact, please. Well, she
28:33
doesn't. She just says interesting. Then
28:35
Selena responds to a TikTok about
28:38
the drama saying, sorry, I didn't
28:40
mention every person I know. That's not
28:42
every person you know. There's one person who's giving you a
28:44
kidney. It's not sorry, I didn't mention every
28:46
person I know. That's not what anyone's asking
28:49
me to do. Francia did
28:51
eventually post a story on Instagram saying
28:53
there's no bad blood between me and
28:56
anyone. And I'm so proud of
28:58
hashtag my mind in me. But
29:00
I don't know. What
29:02
if someone gives you a kidney?
29:05
It's clear, it's awkward, and you don't really pick that
29:07
up till after that maybe they didn't want to, but you've
29:09
got my kidney by then. It's not really not
29:12
to worry. They've given you a kidney, and
29:14
then they're a bit at the beach. Do
29:16
you still have to be nice -- Okay. -- to
29:18
them? Because that seems you've got the
29:21
kidney. We assume that Selena
29:23
has gone I've got your kidney. Thanks
29:25
for that. I mean No. No. No. No. No. But it could be
29:27
that France could be the other person. Yeah.
29:30
Yeah. He was, like, ever since
29:32
I gave you my kidney? Yeah. You're
29:34
being different. Yeah. And she's moved
29:36
on. My vibe
29:38
is if someone gives you that kidney -- Mhmm. --
29:40
go to be friends with him for life. I'm just
29:43
to otherwise give the kidney back.
29:45
I actually don't know a doctor that would give it
29:47
back. Based on angst,
29:49
like it's not even a real fight, It's
29:52
just like we feel weird. Since
29:54
the kidney was done, can you give it back and
29:56
we'll find a number? We're beefing on it there.
29:59
Yeah. Just wanna just do a little bit of
30:01
the back. Or she can have my liver.
30:03
Do not Yeah. Yeah. To a tradie.
30:06
Yep. We have a very recent
30:08
update to this drama. On
30:10
March ten, Selena Gomez
30:12
appeared on Apple TV's documentary series
30:15
Deere dot dot dot Oh.
30:17
Have you heard of her? No. No. No. We'll
30:19
get to that. Okay. And she acknowledged
30:21
the time France Ye gave her
30:23
her kidney. She said my
30:25
best friend, her name is France. Yeah. She's
30:28
still. Still? She said,
30:30
no, I'm absolutely getting tested. Remember
30:33
Selena. She was remembering about how Francie
30:35
got tested -- Okay. -- to see if she was compatible.
30:37
Yep. Yep. And within three days, she went
30:39
to get tested and she was a match and it was one of
30:41
those moments where I felt watched over. I
30:43
know I was so so so lucky.
30:46
I am. He's very gaudy. There's not a problem
30:48
with that. No. So
30:50
is Justin? Yeah. They probably
30:53
bonded over that, but then so is Hayley. Great
30:55
point. I understand that that doesn't
30:58
happen for a lot of people, and I know the outcome
31:00
of some of those situations and how serious
31:02
they are, so I do not take it lightly that it's
31:04
happened to me that way. I will never
31:06
ever ever be
31:09
more in-depth to a person than
31:11
from I've waited to hear those words.
31:14
I've waited so long to hear those
31:16
cancel listeners have waited a long
31:18
time to hear those words out of Selena's mouth.
31:20
Interesting that this is the week we're
31:22
doing. This episode. Yeah. Yeah. And
31:24
this is the week she's chosen
31:27
to put out a statement because she's been listening
31:29
to cancel. She's gone, they're gonna do it. They're
31:31
gonna do it and they're gonna acknowledge that I
31:33
haven't been indebted enough. And
31:35
so the internet is like,
31:37
see, there was no feud. It's
31:39
her best friend, She's grateful for the kidney.
31:42
No. No. No. No. No. The crutches overlooks her.
31:44
That was a failure. That's what I will
31:46
say is there's still such evidence
31:48
as the awkward Instagram comment. Interesting.
31:52
And they just don't generally seem as close.
31:54
Now the comment doesn't make me think any differently.
31:56
And as we have often said, Where
31:59
there is smoke? There is fire? There was stuff going
32:01
on at least. Has France? Yeah. Does she appear
32:03
in the documentary? Or is she not in anything
32:05
back? She does not. Yeah. It's tension. I
32:08
wonder when this Apple TV show was
32:10
filmed. Could I have googled that maybe?
32:13
But I didn't. And
32:15
I reckon it was potentially that
32:17
me, myself, my brain, and myself, and
32:19
I -- Yeah. -- came out. And
32:22
then people say you didn't acknowledge
32:24
enough. So she said, where can I acknowledge? And
32:26
they said, this show. Deere dot
32:28
dot com. Exactly. Has a spot. So
32:31
she's done it. And is that a very cynical way
32:33
of looking at it? Certainly.
32:35
But Westinixi, we
32:37
are. And I just think that the
32:40
absence of the kidening story in
32:42
her documentary, Spag volumes. Exactly.
32:44
And this, honestly, where we're at now? It's legal
32:47
mess. For the courtroom. It is. It
32:49
is. Because I was finding out guilty two minutes
32:51
ago. Because the vibe remains
32:54
weird. But she's not grateful
32:56
enough. The vibe remains, because
32:58
she says she says she is. Man,
33:00
but does it sound convincing?
33:04
Sure. Put
33:07
too little too late. That's what you
33:09
said. That's a new too
33:12
late into the mushroom tent that's
33:14
too late. Yes. Side
33:16
note, there's a rumor that Selena
33:19
doesn't actually have lupus because
33:21
when she was interviewed one time.
33:23
Mhmm. She was all not getting chemotherapy because
33:26
she had chemotherapy for lupus. She weren't
33:28
having chemotherapy. And instead of lupus, she
33:30
said leukemia. And everyone
33:32
picked up on that run with it. She's lying about
33:34
lupus. And to that, I say, did
33:36
any of us fake lupus
33:40
and have a kidney transplant for
33:43
no reason. Yeah. That's too far. Not
33:45
even about Gibson. Have a transplant. Very
33:49
true. No. There's a point at which our
33:51
lives. We we let it go.
33:53
Jesse, a rude interview. In
33:55
her Apple TV documentary, find
33:58
her name. That's a scene
34:00
where Selena is doing a press tour. And she's
34:02
being asked very basic questions by
34:04
lots of outlets. Like, what's your
34:06
favorite color? Really dumb questions. Then
34:09
a journalist asks, you're
34:12
a singer, you're an actor, you worked in
34:14
production, in fashion. Is
34:16
there any other hat you would like to try?
34:19
Selina likes this question. Oh, she
34:21
thinks it's more in-depth than the ones who's
34:23
already been asked, and she perks up a little bit
34:25
after seeming pretty low energy for the whole interview.
34:27
Is there any other hops you
34:29
would like to try?
34:33
I gotta say I'll do a little bit of
34:35
all of this for a while. But
34:38
eventually, when it all slows down
34:40
for
34:40
me, I'm probably going to devote
34:42
most of my life to philanthropy. I
34:45
Okay. That's good for me.
34:47
Okay. Wow. Thank you. Appreciate
34:51
it,
34:51
you know. Thank you very much. Like, you really
34:53
understood. I've seen this clip
34:55
on TikTok. In the green room
34:57
afterwards, Selena says, I'm
34:59
done. I can't do that anymore. Do you know
35:02
how I might feel like cheap? It makes me feel
35:04
like Yeah. She's
35:06
asking me questions, like good ones.
35:08
And then she didn't even pay
35:10
attention to what I was
35:11
saying. I don't wanna do that. There
35:14
we go. I feel like I'm a product.
35:16
She then starts ranting about how she feels like
35:18
a product and it makes her feel like Disney,
35:20
and how her outfit makes her look like a fucking
35:23
witch, which feels like it's not the interviewer's
35:25
fault. But I have a few points on this because
35:27
I'm quite passionate. This went viral
35:29
as evidence of how badly Selena Gomez
35:32
was treated by media? Very
35:35
hard disagree. Firstly,
35:38
interviewers, particularly with people like
35:40
Gomez, have a matter of minutes.
35:43
Usually between online, six and
35:45
eight. I've done it. Nice. Celebrity
35:47
who doesn't say philanthropy. Yeah. And
35:49
nine times out of ten, they actually haven't
35:52
really done anything and don't know what they're talking
35:54
about. And most importantly, you have to have
35:56
some self awareness about why people care about
35:58
you. And if you wanna try and put a spotlight
36:00
on it, fine. That
36:02
you and me and my mind are not. That's
36:05
about you, Selena. And people wanna know
36:07
about your music, and I agree that what's favorite
36:09
color is a silly or whatever, but this is part
36:11
of the game. It is. So
36:14
in those six to eight minutes, you can't have a
36:16
profound conversation. You can't
36:18
sit down and find out what Selena
36:20
Gomez thinks the meaning of life is. There's gonna
36:22
be a certain type of question you can ask And
36:25
depending on the publication, if you're interviewing
36:27
her for seventeen magazine, you're not
36:29
gonna ask her about politics. The
36:32
interviewer clearly wasn't
36:34
wrapping up the interview because she was bored
36:36
or uninterested. No. She was given a slot. She's
36:38
only being harassed by a publicist behind saints.
36:41
No one would wrap up an interview with Selena
36:43
Gomez early. No. No journalists would
36:45
do that. Secondly, when
36:47
you're on a press tour, reporters have a really
36:50
limited amount of things they're allowed to ask
36:52
you about. Yeah. So on this press too, I bet
36:54
she couldn't ask about the kidney. Yeah. Exactly.
36:56
Should've been told don't go near Francia, don't go
36:59
near it yet. It's usually
37:01
strictly related to the project, and
37:03
all of them are trying to make it interesting
37:06
and turn it into a headline. And I
37:08
am sorry. But Selena
37:10
Gomez is interested in philanthropy, is
37:12
not a headline. Would you click Jesse?
37:15
Mm-mm. No. No.
37:19
No. No one's reading that. I'm sorry, Selena.
37:22
Selena is also completely flat in her
37:24
aunt's She has no energy and then gets
37:26
annoyed at this report if not being impressed
37:29
enough by her wanting to do
37:31
philanthropy. Yes. Not profound. It
37:33
makes me so mad because the division between
37:35
what that reporter would have been getting paid versus
37:38
what Selena Gomez is getting paid.
37:40
And Celine is angry that she's not getting
37:42
enough attention for 1H2 for lab three.
37:45
It's also finally incredibly
37:47
unfair for Selena to use
37:49
her huge platform that she has in that
37:52
documentary to shame that journalist
37:54
-- Mhmm. -- who has no right of reply was
37:56
only doing her job, and there is absolutely
37:59
no context provided around it
38:01
in terms of how those things actually work. Can I talk
38:03
about the documentary now? Yes. Yes. Okay.
38:05
These are my notes. Because I was
38:07
thinking I watched the ad first to just
38:09
see if it was my vibe. Mhmm. And I was thinking
38:11
that it would be fun if someone I mean, our listeners
38:13
are too lazy, but maybe who listened to other podcasts
38:16
would've make a compilation of us over
38:18
really a mode of music, and it's us
38:20
getting on stage just like stepping
38:22
out there and we're laughing. In
38:24
slow motion. And then we visit our
38:26
childhood home, but we're just in sweats.
38:29
Okay. No. That's very simple. And then it's like us
38:31
on a bed with like our dog clack giving
38:33
the dog a kiss and then, like, we're
38:35
asleep because it's so tiring. And then a random
38:37
lady is telling me you you
38:40
see lives. And I like, give
38:42
them a hug or whatever. And then I'm staring
38:44
at myself in the mirror just like grappling with
38:47
me, myself, and I. And then
38:49
it reaches a crescendo and I'm just on
38:51
stage. I lost you halfway. Sorry
38:53
about the fantasy. But anyway,
38:55
then I was like, okay. I've gotta watch this documentary. Okay.
38:58
Yeah. So when you select it. Okay. It starts
39:00
and she's upset because her body is not womanly
39:02
enough. It's too young. She thinks she looks
39:05
too young. Okay. don't really like I wanna have
39:07
the body to wear it proudly, and
39:09
I want the booty that don't have.
39:11
My body's very
39:12
young. This has some Making sure I look
39:14
like a woman and not like a twelve year old
39:17
boy. She's worried her performance is really bad,
39:19
blah blah blah blah. Then
39:21
one of her friends is like Selena Gomez had this
39:23
breakdown. She was like, It
39:26
was just just her reaction
39:28
with South American. And then Selena is
39:30
doing a voiceover and she's like, my
39:33
thoughts take over my mind often.
39:36
Okay? I don't think that's as profound as you think
39:38
it is, but this is where it got
39:40
really good. Okay? She goes to her
39:42
childhood home. Right? And I love this when
39:45
famous people go back to their childhood home to be
39:47
like, look at what a poor person I
39:49
was. Look at the squalor I lived
39:51
in, but someone lives there now. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
39:53
And so she takes a camera crew in and she's like
39:55
She'd be like at the sadness. Yeah. Yeah.
39:58
Yeah. Look at what I became. So she
40:00
takes them through her sad sad childhood home,
40:02
and then she goes like a nap. I don't really understand,
40:04
but maybe a friend's family or something that was
40:06
down the road. And she sees a friend's
40:08
mom who is completely
40:11
bold because of treatment that she's been
40:13
undergoing. And she Selena goes don't
40:15
get up and she said can't get up. Right?
40:17
Like, she she's that ill. Okay. Okay.
40:19
Yeah. I need to paint a picture. Yeah. She says
40:21
that she's broken her ankle twice in the last
40:23
twelve months, this friend's mom.
40:26
I would assume looking at her that she's got
40:29
really serious cancer or something. Yeah.
40:31
That woman then are Selena.
40:34
How her health is. Okay.
40:36
And Selena spends five minutes talking
40:38
about her health. Okay. And that really sums
40:40
it up. Is it it is wreaking of mankind?
40:43
Her energy. Yeah. Well, that doesn't
40:45
surprise. She goes to her school. She
40:47
rings above her. They say, you need our dad
40:49
to get in. And she just laughs in their
40:51
face. She says, I don't have J. I'm Selena Gomez.
40:53
And then I'll get my
40:55
in. This is school shootings in
40:57
Texas. Okay. This is terrible. The name's
40:59
MIJ. Anyway, that eventually was.
41:02
Okay.
41:03
Wow. Thanks. I probably won't watch the second
41:05
half. Thanks
41:07
for doing that. For the listeners. Alright.
41:10
A thing on to Selena.
41:14
Your contributions are so erratic.
41:16
Selena's feud with Lord. It's
41:19
twenty first. Yep. Is
41:21
there a timeline? We're falling
41:23
here. God no. Selena
41:25
released this song called to come and get
41:27
it. We've already referenced it once. Jesse,
41:29
why don't you give it a scene? I
41:32
can't in the first time. When you're ready, come
41:34
and get it. No. No. No.
41:36
No. No. No. And it's a about hitting sex.
41:39
Yeah. It's about when
41:41
you're ready for sex. Come
41:43
and get it from me. Yeah. And I'll be here.
41:46
Ready. Okay?
41:48
Beautiful. It is it says
41:50
right here in my notes. A certified
41:53
ball. It is. It is. But
41:55
Lord doesn't like it. Lord
41:57
who song royals was popular at the time
41:59
said, I'm a feminist and the theme
42:02
of her song is when you're ready come
42:04
and get it from me. Wouldn't say it's a f
42:07
whatever lyrics. I thought it's explicitly
42:09
what it says. She said I feel
42:11
like the song is that coming and getting it.
42:13
Yeah. Well, that's the time. It's cold coming
42:15
in.
42:16
She said I'm sick of women being betrayed this
42:18
way. She laid out added in an interview
42:21
with MTV, I have pretty strong morals
42:23
and opinions being in pop music, and I can't
42:25
help but express those, which I think people
42:27
appreciate. So the lyrics
42:29
just for more context. I like, I'll be
42:31
sitting right here real patient all
42:33
day, all night. I'll be waiting. Standby.
42:37
And basically, it's like, if you're ready, come and get
42:39
it. Come and get it. Okay.
42:42
But then Gomez did an interview with Florence
42:44
Magazine and said, actually, Lord
42:47
is the one holding women back. I
42:49
actually covered her song in all of
42:51
my shows that I've done so far. I'm
42:53
not sure if I'm going to continue that.
42:55
She's upset because she thinks I'm
42:58
a ho. I
43:00
don't like that. So I know heard
43:02
my song good for
43:04
you. It's about looking
43:07
good for a man. Does she like that
43:09
one? No. No Selena. Gomez
43:12
then said a similar thing again, but with
43:14
different words -- Yeah. -- feminism and
43:16
that specific thing is very sensitive
43:19
because in my
43:19
opinion, it's not feminism
43:22
if you're tearing down other artists.
43:24
Absolutely. So that's the only thing that I
43:26
feel, but, you know, she's she's young. She's,
43:28
like, she's more like, she's got so much
43:30
talent and she's
43:31
gonna, like, take over. She she gets
43:34
it. And so I'm not I don't take it to heart.
43:36
I reckon. That Selena has
43:38
made up with Lord because for a time there
43:40
they were both friends with Taylor. Now,
43:43
Lord has since she's not really friends
43:45
with Taylor anymore. But I don't think nothing
43:47
you need to do with Selena. Maybe
43:49
they're both not friends. No. Selena's still friends
43:51
with Taylor. Maybe they have a new beef. Turkey.
44:03
Moving on to being problematic. Speaking
44:06
of comic get it, Nana Nana Nana
44:08
Nana Nana Nana. It's twenty fourteen and
44:10
Selena gets on stage at the MTV
44:12
movie awards and performs her sexy
44:15
song. But to accompany her
44:17
sexy song, she needed
44:19
a sexy app Any
44:22
ideas? I would wear kind
44:24
of like a Dominatoric style leather.
44:27
Come and get it. Come and get it. Come
44:29
cat or something. No. Okay.
44:31
Sweetie went full, Bollywood. She
44:34
wore a bindi on her foreign
44:37
which traditionally was worn by women
44:40
for religious purposes to indicate that
44:42
they were married, but it's now more
44:44
of a beauty mark. In, like, Southeast
44:46
Asia Yeah. Southeast Asian culture.
44:48
But just noting Selena is American, she
44:51
has some Italian and some Mexican, neither
44:53
Wijia, Indian. Just a geographically
44:56
close. Please describe what you see
44:58
here. So not only does she have
45:00
the bendy in the middle of her forehead, She
45:02
also has the full Bollywood get up
45:05
like the red. I think red is very big
45:07
in -- Mhmm. -- Hollywood, all the gold
45:09
chains, and she does appear to be doing
45:11
Bollywood dance wise
45:14
with her hands and her backup dancers
45:16
appear to be also doing
45:18
Hollywood dance. Smooth. It's very
45:20
strange as a song. It has nothing to me
45:22
to you. No. It's not coming to getting it. Yeah.
45:25
So I'm going to
45:27
just play one minute of her
45:29
two thousand fourteen performance. Commentary
45:32
is encouraged. I
45:36
love you. I got more reeds.
45:40
I love you much too much too
45:42
Oh, wow. These are all Bollywood moves that
45:44
we're seeing right now. Oh, all
45:46
the crowds getting into the Bollywood. Yeah.
45:48
There's not a of Southeast Asian women on
45:50
Staten Island, all white women? All her
45:52
styling is probably
45:55
white. I would take it by Top half, but the bottom
45:57
half appears to be naked. So
45:59
you want you don't often see Bollywood stars
46:01
naked from the waist down, but that's her
46:03
impression. They've actually tried to make
46:06
a little premium. Yes. And
46:08
even the gold Çöpler and that kind
46:10
of thing. The dancing feels
46:12
offensive with the soliciting of
46:14
the male gay, so it's supposed to be. Feels
46:17
like maybe not an understanding of
46:19
Indian culture perhaps. How do we
46:21
feel about the scene? Yes,
46:32
it seems very okay. I went, oh, it
46:34
seems like my team. I went, I didn't realize Selena
46:36
Gomez couldn't sing, and then I went, no, I think I
46:39
need. I think I knew that. I
46:41
think I didn't do that. She's very off
46:43
Kate. But I found that actually
46:45
almost more distracting than the Hollywood
46:47
inspired miss. Yeah. And when got
46:50
so many talents, we can't
46:52
be great at all of them, not only. Singing.
46:56
Dancing, acting, producing.
46:59
Exactly. And look, it was twenty
47:01
thirteen. Right? So cultural appropriation wasn't
47:04
something that People were totally across.
47:06
They weren't getting canceled for it yet, so she might
47:08
not have known, give her the benefit of the doubt.
47:10
But looking back on this ten years later,
47:13
very uncomfortable. It is.
47:15
Look, there's other stuff. Mhmm. She
47:17
worked with Woody Allen. Like, every
47:19
other famous person in Hollywood. She
47:22
also, during Black Lives Matter, this
47:24
is really important. She didn't
47:26
hashtag Black Lives Matter.
47:28
And So did she hashtag? It didn't
47:31
hashtag anything. And we all know
47:33
that if you don't hashtag then Thirty minutes.
47:35
Yeah. People got really upset
47:37
about that. Wow. So if you look at lists,
47:39
there are people who just compile lists
47:41
of like, here you go. I've got all
47:44
the problematic things. I went
47:46
through one of the list --
47:47
Mhmm. -- and he was hilarious. One
47:49
of them was the time she hit Justin
47:51
Bieber. And
47:52
I'm like, And there's a video. There's a video and
47:54
that's a video and that clicked on the video and she's
47:56
here. Yeah. Let's watched it over
47:58
and over again. Yeah.
48:00
I went and haven't seen you do it. Yep.
48:03
And, like, Justin Bieber went to
48:05
rehab and she did a dance with her friends.
48:07
Well, she didn't know. She gonna
48:10
do a dance with her friends. She's in her twenties.
48:12
I don't know what to say about that. There
48:14
was a lot of just trying to make her problematic
48:17
when she wasn't. And there's enough to
48:19
charge and send it to their end without
48:21
grasping at straw. You know what was interesting about
48:24
that list? No mention of the kidney.
48:26
I'll put you on number one.
48:28
Cancel your offense. Alright. Chargers and sentences.
48:36
You go first. Alright. My charge. Not
48:39
having enough respect for someone else's
48:41
organ. Oh, I'm speaking
48:43
about a kidney graft. Sorry. Okay. Good. Well,
48:46
no. But we do need to be broad because
48:48
if if a case like this comes up again,
48:50
then we need to say, no. It's generally organs.
48:52
I don't had other organs are transferable.
48:55
An eye? No. Because
48:57
then you'll lose your eye. Yeah. But you might. If
48:59
you're really Which is related to, and this another
49:02
crime that I'm going to enter into
49:04
the cancel courtroom for good into
49:06
the rulebook. And that is exuding
49:08
too much make care energy. Mhmm. Right.
49:10
I saw this in an interview recently with an Australian
49:13
singer who said, fame
49:15
gives you don't know if she makes her noise. Basically.
49:18
Yeah. And I just saw that with Selena even
49:20
going into her school. It's like
49:23
no one has more makeup denergy, dancing.
49:25
I mean, isn't that just every single famous
49:27
person? Yeah. That's why it's a good one. Okay. Yeah.
49:30
For the rulebook. Because I will say she has been
49:32
the main character since she was, like,
49:34
five, seven, but on your knee. Yeah.
49:36
So the sentence I struggle with
49:38
a little bit, you always do.
49:40
Yeah. Because I brainstormed and then didn't really come up
49:42
with one because I was distracted by me and my mind
49:44
and I. Maybe she could make
49:46
a documentary just about her friend's
49:48
kidney. Yeah. Why? Not
49:50
about a transplant. Just kind of about
49:53
the kidney. Right? And it's like going
49:55
out on stage, but it's a kidney. And give
49:57
it a bit of a nay. Yeah. That's nice and really
49:59
great. But it's a cute. Yeah. And the kidneys wearing,
50:02
like, a hat and sunnies and, like,
50:04
there's all the paparazzi stuff and the kidneys
50:06
kind of shielding its face
50:08
from everyone. Before we get to
50:10
my chardan sentence, I
50:13
guess the question is, Did
50:15
she acknowledge the kidney enough
50:18
in the Apple TV documentary? I think we're in
50:20
agreement about that. Like she made what Well,
50:22
what saying words are empty.
50:25
Actions speak aloud out. I don't know what I
50:27
wanted to do, but I'm just putting
50:29
that on the table. I do think that
50:31
there are some kidney related actions
50:33
that were missing. Yes. And
50:36
so my answer to, did she acknowledge
50:38
it enough? He's absolutely not. No.
50:41
Nothing will be enough for us. And I think
50:43
that's probably something we need to be
50:45
real about within ourselves. The
50:48
the other thing is But, you know, elephant
50:50
in the room, no one's watched that documentary, dear
50:52
dot dot dot dot. I hadn't heard of
50:54
it. I don't think it's called dear.
50:56
I don't think it's called dear. But
50:58
I think Selena went, this is a publicity moment
51:01
for me, to acknowledge the kidney.
51:03
But we're finding her guilty for not acknowledging
51:06
the kidney on her other
51:07
platforms. Exactly. Click, which is the
51:09
doco. Her doco.
51:11
Jesus. And I mean People
51:15
say that with a big gaming wholes. He's
51:17
not just gone. Tear
51:19
dot dot dot. Are you later and think
51:21
you can make up for it? No. And
51:23
and in the rules, I think get him
51:25
born and no one had heard of that show until
51:27
Selena talked about her kidney. So it's
51:29
not enough for me personally. So
51:31
my charge in sentence is as follows. Playjurism,
51:35
kidney wise. Okay. So
51:37
what she's done is she's used someone else's kidney
51:39
and she has not referenced it appropriately. That's
51:42
a really good point. If she had been to university,
51:44
she would have realized you can use it.
51:46
It's there for you to use. Voice of Footnote.
51:48
Where is it? Come on. So on
51:51
Wiki where it says Selena Gomez,
51:53
however old she is, it should have a little one next
51:55
to it, and then you should go down. Yeah. And it
51:57
says Francis Kidney. Well,
52:00
my sentence is, I
52:02
need her to reference the kidney when she
52:05
uses it. At the end
52:07
of every performance, when she works on a project.
52:09
Selena Gomez, feet, Francis's
52:12
kidney. Avon murders in the building.
52:14
Yeah. Yeah. I reckon it's own
52:16
credit Mhmm. -- because it'll be Sona
52:19
Gomez. And then I reckon just completely
52:21
separately, France is his kidney. It's
52:23
like alphabetically. Yeah. Alphabetically.
52:26
Actually. Yeah. K. Yeah. Probably
52:28
likely. K. Yeah. Yeah. And
52:30
people go, is that someone's name?
52:32
France, he's kidney cancer? No. No. It's literally
52:35
franchises. Nearly every scene. Mhmm.
52:38
Well, it's in every scene with Selena. Please
52:40
let us know what your sentence
52:43
and charge is in the
52:46
reviews. So you can give us five stars
52:49
let us know. What we love about that is
52:51
that it gets Five Stars, which helps people find us.
52:53
And then when they read the reviews, they won't understand
52:55
what the podcast is which is her
52:58
favorite combination. It also defeats the
53:00
purpose, which is excellent. But seriously, giving
53:02
us a rating and a review, healthy
53:04
will the show, which I think is important because
53:06
we're doing God's work. Yes. I know that's like
53:09
a boring thing and as long as you're busy,
53:11
you're just lazy. So what you can do is just give
53:13
us five thousand. Don't worry about the You can do that
