2:42

How are you doing today? Super.

2:45

How are you? I'm

2:48

doing great. Good. I'm on the, I'm

2:50

on the mend. Yeah, you've

2:52

been on the mend for quite a while now.

2:54

Now I'm like, I'm like opposite

2:56

of mend. Oh, you're all right.

2:59

Yeah. Everyone stay healthy out there. It's

3:01

been a battle. Yeah. Last month and a half. Okay,

3:05

let's get right into it. We have a guest today. Very

3:08

exciting. We were just talking about her

3:10

body of work, which I'm

3:12

going to just like, I'm going to just

3:14

read it because I think it's very impressive. I think

3:16

that there's been some projects

3:19

that she's been involved in that we said

3:21

when we were reading her Wiki page that

3:24

we didn't, we didn't know. So

3:27

without further ado, today's guest is

3:29

Diablo Cody, who is an award

3:31

winning screenwriter. Her debut film Juno,

3:34

which everyone obviously has seen

3:37

won the Academy Award for

3:39

best original screenplay, the

3:42

best award for best original

3:44

screenplay, the independent spirit

3:46

award for best first screenplay,

3:49

and the writer's guild award

3:51

for best original screenplay. Diablo

3:54

has since written numerous critically

3:57

acclaimed films, including young adult,

4:00

Tully and the now cult classic Jennifer's Body

4:02

which I want to say 10 years ago

4:05

so that would be around 2013 I

4:07

think I watched that movie 20 times. You

4:13

just were talking about that. In a two month period

4:15

I don't know why it just like resonated with me

4:17

during that time of my life. Was it like a

4:19

safe movie for you? Yeah it was a safe place

4:21

movie. I watched it many

4:23

times. Diablo

4:27

also created the Emmy award

4:29

winning series United States of Tara which

4:31

ran for three seasons on Showtime, amazing

4:33

show also as

4:35

well as won Mississippi for Amazon

4:37

with Tig Notaro. Okay this

4:40

was the part that we said that was

4:42

news to us. I'm sure a lot of

4:45

our audience already knows this but she won

4:47

a Tony Award for her hit Broadway musical

4:49

Jagged Little Pill based on Alanis Morissette's album

4:52

of the same title. Diablo

4:55

welcome to you. Thank

4:57

you for having me. I'm so excited to

4:59

be here. Well thank you for coming on.

5:01

We're here to actually talk about your new

5:03

movie which comes out on

5:05

Friday called Lisa Frankenstein.

5:09

I actually had someone in the Q&A last

5:11

week say they were so

5:13

excited for this movie to come out. I'm

5:15

so glad to hear that. Yeah I was

5:18

like I didn't know like how I didn't

5:20

know how out it was because I

5:22

received the screen or

5:24

two weeks ago. Saris and I watched it.

5:28

We definitely want to get into it

5:30

but let's talk about who did it

5:32

star just in case people don't know.

5:34

Yes so Lisa Frankenstein stars Katherine Newton

5:36

as Lisa Cole Sprouse

5:38

as the creature Carla Gugino

5:41

love her plays Lisa's

5:44

stepmom right? Yeah with her stepmom.

5:47

Yeah and Joe Crest

5:50

is her father. Right and we also

5:52

said one of our favorite characters was

5:54

Taffy who is played

5:56

by who because I think she's a newer

5:58

actress. Liza Soborano. I

6:02

love her so much. Okay, I think it's

6:04

really important to say that this

6:07

movie takes place in 1989.

6:09

I knew it was in the 80s. I

6:11

waited patiently to see if the year would be

6:13

shouted out. And I think about

6:15

halfway through the movie, someone does say it's 1989. And

6:17

I was so excited

6:20

because it's your favorite decade. It's my

6:22

favorite decade. And 1989 was a highlight

6:27

year. It was my year. I'm not

6:29

gonna say how old I was. That'll

6:31

give away my ancient age. But why

6:33

1989? Well, I'm

6:35

willing to out myself as someone who was 11 years

6:37

old in 1989. And I

6:40

remember the 80s. Well, to me, that is like

6:43

the decade of my heart. It

6:45

was, I mean, so sort

6:48

of inherently cinematic, just the big hair,

6:50

big shoulder pads, colors. There

6:52

was this optimism in

6:55

the world, but it was also like Ronald

6:57

Reagan era. So there was a darkness

7:00

there. And it just, I

7:02

think I'd always kind of wanted to

7:04

set something at that time, especially and

7:06

not to be like a total cliche, but

7:08

like writing about having

7:11

events that take place in a world

7:13

before smartphones, very liberating as a

7:15

writer. Love that. I agree with

7:17

that. And it was a liberating time to live

7:19

in. Yeah, I mean, I

7:22

was I had zero responsibilities because I was

7:24

a child. Yeah,

7:26

right. And it does

7:29

seem that times were much simpler

7:31

back then. Or were people

7:33

just not talking about the things that they talk

7:35

about now so openly, I think about that often.

7:37

Well, there wasn't a there weren't platforms for that.

7:39

Right, but I'm just right. But I'm just saying

7:41

I feel like a lot was hidden. Don't

7:44

you like there was there was just, there

7:46

were certainly few discussions about mental

7:48

health, sexuality, all that stuff. Like,

7:50

yes, things were really kept behind closed doors

7:52

in a way that they aren't now. Which

7:56

was a bad I'm glad that is a bad

7:58

thing. It

8:00

is a bad thing, you're right, but I'm kind of

8:02

like, oh, I'm missing a table. Anything set,

8:04

any film set, any playset in the

8:07

80s, even the 90s, gives

8:09

me personally such a warm feeling as

8:11

well. There's just something about it. So

8:13

I thank you for setting Lisa Frankenstein

8:17

in that decade. Yeah. For that very reason alone.

8:19

And the tanning bed, which is something I wanted

8:21

to ask you about. The tanning

8:23

bed, I have no question about it. I just wanted

8:25

to bring up the tanning bed. You kept talking about

8:27

the tanning bed. It was just such a memorable fixture

8:29

for me. Lisa's attempt to go

8:31

in there and make the creature presentable,

8:34

bring him back, just that

8:37

tanning bed. I

8:39

think for me, I've

8:41

never done one of those lie down tanning beds. Because

8:44

the idea of getting in one, it always seemed like

8:46

it was a coffin or

8:49

a slap. And so when

8:51

I was writing the movie, I thought, what better

8:53

place to reanimate a corpse than

8:55

in a malfunctioning tanning bed? It

8:58

was perfect. It was spot on

9:00

perfect. I do want to say

9:02

that the set design

9:05

and the costume design was very

9:07

well done. Because you do see

9:09

some series or some movies that

9:11

are set in the 80s. And

9:14

it's just a little off. But

9:16

I want to say that this

9:18

particular movie, I thought it was

9:20

spot on. All in no expense

9:23

spared as far as the detail.

9:25

Right. And the accuracy. Right, which as

9:27

a lover of the 80s is something that I look at

9:29

as well. Very much appreciated. Yeah. Color

9:32

scheme. Everything. Everything.

9:34

There was a great love put into

9:36

the production design. So that's much

9:38

appreciated. I was going

9:40

to ask you, growing up in a suburb of Chicago in

9:42

the 80s, did

9:45

it resemble how you grew up?

9:48

I have to say, the suburb that I

9:50

grew up in was certainly

9:53

not of color. This

9:55

is clearly a heightened version of the suburbs in the

9:57

movie. You know, that's like Lisa lives in

9:59

this. Hank house and

10:01

you know, there's this kind of like vapor way

10:04

of aesthetic in the whole movie and I

10:06

have to say like the sub the Chicago suburbs in

10:08

the 80s were not quite so colorful but

10:11

uh You know, I I still

10:14

wanted to set it there because that's you

10:16

know, that that was my childhood Well, it

10:18

was it was a great movie. Um, actually

10:21

we had a question about the

10:23

like development the character development between

10:26

The creature and lisa was so

10:28

profound and I mean I personally

10:30

I know you two we were

10:32

talking about how The

10:35

creature brings out this this

10:37

profound confidence in lisa And

10:41

I thought that was just so beautifully

10:43

written so beautifully done and and

10:46

developed Over like just the

10:48

life of the movie. Can you talk a

10:50

little bit about that? Okay, so the reason

10:52

that lisa gains

10:55

confidence is because she

10:57

has gone through this traumatic event, right and

11:00

no one has listened to her for a really long time

11:03

and she is she's just been

11:05

kind of forced to power through

11:07

her for grief and The

11:11

creature coming into her life allows her

11:13

to really embrace her emotions be heard

11:16

by someone who never interrupts and

11:18

physically can't because he has no time and He

11:22

just just that process of

11:24

being seen and heard is

11:27

so um, I think Invigorating

11:30

for her and we

11:32

also see him coming back to life Through

11:35

through what she gives him so it's kind of

11:37

beautiful. It reminded me a lot

11:39

of like a therapy session like this was

11:41

just her literally

11:44

working through the process of what you were just saying

11:47

of like dealing with the loss of her mom and

11:50

I mean so much of what I write is like

11:52

therapy for myself. So It's

11:55

probably not surprising that that vibe

11:57

comes through Yeah, no, I

11:59

love I love that that piece of it. I

12:01

can't even imagine being the actor like

12:03

being Cole and having to like figure that

12:05

out. Like I'd imagine I imagined a

12:07

lot of like stage direction right like for

12:09

him I mean the lack of dialogue you

12:12

have to really run

12:14

with the direction. Well

12:16

I've apologized to Cole because I said look

12:18

I really didn't give you anything like I

12:20

gave you enough to work with. You had

12:23

no lines and I did my best with the

12:25

stage direction but honestly he created

12:27

that performance like he created the

12:29

creature and Zelda our director

12:33

who's incredible she

12:36

and he crafted that together.

12:39

So I can take no credit for

12:41

the creature. That's really a

12:43

cool thing to write a character with

12:48

no lines and then watch that character

12:52

come to life in this totally unexpected way.

12:55

I was gonna say what was that like just like

12:57

watching him take what you written

12:59

or I guess in this case technically

13:01

right but you know

13:03

create and and see what he did with

13:06

it and the facial expressions alone were like

13:08

yeah I didn't even like I knew he

13:10

was in the movie but when when

13:12

he first appears on screen I was

13:15

like is that Cole Sprouse? Yeah.

13:18

He really transformed into this character

13:20

to the point where I didn't

13:22

recognize any of his mannerisms besides

13:25

the way he looks. I mean and he's playing a creature

13:27

he's not one in real life but I was

13:30

I had a look and be like

13:32

is that Cole Sprouse? And

13:35

I think I even went back to

13:37

you know the email that we were discussing

13:39

the movie and was like yeah it is

13:41

he's excellent in it. Yeah he really they

13:43

all are yeah. So that's a great you

13:46

know when we when you put out a movie they make

13:48

you focus group at first. I

13:50

say they make you the studio as

13:52

sets up these focus group screenings and people who

13:54

know nothing about the movie come in and then

13:57

they give you notes on it right and

13:59

testing this movie was so fun because

14:02

all of a sudden like halfway through the movie I'm

14:04

sitting in the theater and I hear people

14:07

going oh my god Cole Sprouse because it

14:09

took them you know that long. Yeah. I

14:11

said it with him because they didn't know there's no

14:13

opening credits or anything so they didn't even know who

14:15

it was until like he gets you know he comes

14:17

out of the tanning bed maybe the third time with

14:19

his new hand and that suddenly

14:21

you know it was

14:24

it was just cool

14:26

like he really did disappear into it his

14:28

fans couldn't even recognize him. I think all

14:30

Cole Sprouse fans will be blown away.

14:33

Surprised yeah and excited to see him

14:35

in this role. Mm-hmm for sure for

14:37

sure. So this kind of a

14:39

general question not necessarily just for

14:41

Lisa Frankenstein but just

14:44

curious like it's just writing

14:46

a script to somebody

14:48

who doesn't write scripts right feels

14:50

so daunting like

14:52

what is your process when you first start

14:54

writing a script like how do

14:56

you begin what does it start

14:59

with like I'd imagine it's like you have

15:01

like this kind of general plot in

15:03

your head that you're kind of running

15:06

with or maybe just like an endgame or

15:08

like how do you start? Well

15:10

my process has changed a little bit over the years

15:12

because back in the day I used to just jump

15:14

into it and I wouldn't even know how the movie was

15:16

going to end and I

15:18

wrote Juno that way I wrote Jennifer's

15:20

Body that way it wasn't until

15:23

probably the last 10 years

15:26

that I've started having a more formal process

15:28

where I really sit down and I outline and

15:31

I know exactly what

15:33

I'm going to do going into it. I

15:36

think and honestly

15:38

that's it's a smarter way to approach a project

15:40

is to be like fully prepared and almost do

15:42

the writer version of shot of what a director would do

15:44

with a shot list but

15:47

I think I was so stubborn about that for

15:49

a long time because I I

15:52

had had so much success early in my career

15:54

that I was like why would I change my

15:56

process and then I realized at

15:58

a certain point like no it's It's actually

16:00

good to hone your craft and to brush

16:06

up on your technique. And now

16:08

I won't go into a script without an outline. So

16:10

yeah, I do sit down. I break the story

16:12

first. But

16:15

the one thing I always go into it with is

16:17

a sense of freedom

16:19

and play. I never go, OK, I'm

16:21

writing this movie and this is going to be a studio

16:23

movie and it's going to star so and so. Never.

16:27

I go into it like I'm 20 years old.

16:29

I have nothing to lose and I'm writing it

16:31

for fun. And that's

16:33

my secret because that's what that's what keeps

16:36

kind of a spirit of. Of

16:39

creativity and play in it. I can't write from

16:41

like a corporate perspective. I

16:43

love that. It makes a lot of sense to not held

16:45

down by the man. Yeah, like

16:48

honestly, I'll tell you why, because in

16:50

the past I have actually sat down

16:52

and been like, OK, one thing

16:54

I've never done, I've never written like it again.

16:56

A huge commercial blockbuster movie ever. And

16:58

I've sat down and going, oh, I want to do it. I'm going to do

17:00

it. I'm going to do it. And

17:02

then like it never works out because I just

17:05

if I don't personally feel what I'm writing, it's

17:07

a disaster. It has to be something

17:09

that I actually care about. Being

17:17

a king or queen might seem enticing,

17:19

but more often than not, it comes

17:21

at the expense of everything else like

17:23

your freedom, your privacy and

17:26

sometimes even your head. The

17:28

creators of Wondries, Even the Rich,

17:31

17:33

Even the Royals, where hosts Brooke and

17:35

Arisha pull back the curtain on royal families,

17:37

past and present from all over the world

17:39

to show you the darker side of what

17:42

it means to be royalty. From stories about

17:44

one of the most infamous royals in history,

17:46

Marie Antoinette, but everything you know about her

17:48

is wrong. After she

17:50

became queen at just 19 years old,

17:52

she ended up in a battle with

17:54

the French press that started a series

17:57

of impossible to believe events. It's history's

17:59

greatest smear. campaign and it had

18:01

deadly consequences. Or what might be

18:03

the worst royal marriage of all

18:05

time between King George IV and

18:08

Caroline of Brunswick. It's a story

18:10

involving catfishing, fake pregnancies, and

18:12

it all leads to a divorce trial where

18:14

the whole world sat on the edge of

18:16

their seats to see how it would all

a special spot where you like to write? Yeah,

18:40

I'm actually in my closet right now. I like

18:45

to be in a small, either at

18:48

home in a small enclosed space, like

18:50

a closet. Or I do also famously

18:53

I like to write in food courts and I don't

18:55

know why that is. It's got the ambient noise

18:57

and the people watching that gets me into

18:59

a good place. That's very 80s

19:01

of you. Yeah, it is. I'll go to the

19:04

mall and I'll park in the food court except

19:06

unfortunately, like, over the years, a lot

19:08

of screenwriters have started doing that in LA and that

19:10

makes it a little less fun. Because you don't want

19:12

to be like one of 10 assholes with laptops at the

19:14

mall food court. I would

19:16

never expect that to be a place where someone

19:19

would be able to write. I feel like it

19:21

would be so distracting.

19:23

But then like for character development, there's so many

19:26

different people there. I'm sure you like kind of

19:28

pull inspiration from people you say. Good point. You

19:30

pull inspiration and it also keeps me like a

19:32

lot most of the time, although unfortunately this is

19:34

changing, there most of the time there isn't Wi

19:37

Fi at the mall. So like

19:39

it keeps me off the distractions

19:41

because otherwise I will literally be on like,

19:44

do more or anything else. I

19:47

love my celebrity gossip. That is my biggest

19:49

distraction of life. So thank

19:53

you. Yeah. A lot of people consume

19:56

it the same way you described it

19:58

like lighthearted. Distraction,

20:00

you know, but then there's also the people that

20:02

take it very seriously. I love

20:05

it. It's for me Yeah,

20:07

who do you get excited about hearing news about?

20:09

Oh Man,

20:11

I mean I'm I'm

20:13

always here's the thing. I'm excited about

20:15

this new Ariana Grande era And

20:19

I just feel like things have been a

20:21

little chaotic over in that world And

20:24

so yeah, I'm interested in like wicked tea.

20:26

I'm interested in Of

20:29

course, I love to hear about Taylor. I love

20:32

I mean I just I Love

20:36

award shows. I watched the Grammys the other

20:38

night like Jay-Z's

20:41

out there saying some people don't

20:43

deserve to be in the category. I love That's

20:46

what you know, I love I love a little

20:48

bit. I love a little dust-up. Yeah. Yeah, what's

20:50

your take on? This

20:53

lip reading epidemic that's happening at

20:55

all the award shows Well,

20:58

here's the problem. Here's the problem.

21:01

It's the same way like a lot of the fun

21:03

was ruined by iPhones Because

21:06

back in the day, I feel like so

21:08

much more Fun salacious shit

21:10

used to go down because people weren't worried

21:12

about being caught And

21:14

now everyone is gonna be so careful in

21:16

public. We're just gonna get these like robots

21:20

Yeah I mean

21:22

that lip reading thing with with Timmy

21:24

and Selena like that was probably the

21:29

Yeah, Taylor brought a fan to

21:31

the Grammys to cover her mouth when she

21:33

was talking to her seatmates Oh, I saw

21:36

yeah, which is actually kind

21:38

of like really smart. It's funny. It was funny.

21:40

It was funny. It was smart Yeah,

21:43

I thought I thought it was It

21:46

was a good way to you know, shoot it

21:48

down I think it's ridiculous because nobody really

21:50

can read lips even the lip readers. I

21:52

feel like get it wrong because You

21:55

know the people aren't looking at the camera

21:57

like sometimes they're mumbling and it turns

22:00

into this big drama that I, you

22:02

know, I try to stay out of

22:04

the fray on that one. But dangerous

22:07

game of telephone. Yeah, it is. I

22:09

never know if something's just being completely

22:11

misreported. But it's fun to speculate. Yeah,

22:14

you should write a whole script

22:16

Diablo of just people. Yeah, like,

22:20

silent, you know, and they're just,

22:23

they're just lip reading. Like, you there

22:25

is a script, but we can't hear

22:27

it. No sound. Steven Soderbergh movie like,

22:29

totally on that whole movie. I like

22:31

that. You're so right. Yeah,

22:33

pass my ideas on there. So

22:36

so we hear, you know, to do the

22:39

excitement over Jennifer's

22:41

body, we hear about this possible

22:44

sequel. Can you share anything? It's

22:46

so funny, because when I first talked

22:48

about this, I had no idea anybody would

22:50

be remotely interested, like, and then I've been

22:53

asked about it so much that it delights

22:55

me because I'm like, okay, this is now

22:57

I have proof I have receipts to

22:59

bring to finance years and say, Look, people

23:01

want this because I got to

23:04

be honest with you, like getting a sequel made

23:06

to a movie that did not perform financially is

23:09

very difficult. Because most of these people

23:11

are not creatives. They're

23:13

just looking at the numbers. They're

23:15

running the numbers and they're going, Okay, the movie flopped, why the

23:17

hell would we make a sequel to it? And I'm like, No,

23:19

you don't get it. Like, a lot of

23:22

people love this movie. And it's found a much

23:24

bigger audience over the years. So

23:27

the more proof I can

23:29

get, that's true, the better. That

23:31

must be the best feeling, though, something that you

23:33

were really excited about writing. And

23:36

then seeing that kind of years

23:38

down the line come back to

23:40

life. Yeah, the vindication has been

23:42

honestly, one of the most, certainly

23:45

the most healing thing that has ever happened

23:47

to me my professional life. And it's been

23:49

personal personally healing as well, like to have

23:51

something get dragged that

23:53

hard, which

23:55

it really was dragged. And

23:58

then to have people now. say, Oh,

24:01

we were wrong. Like it's

24:03

a fantasy. Congrats. I

24:05

love that. I love that movie. I

24:07

don't care. Really? What any of the

24:09

critics say, I thought it was an excellent

24:13

story from beginning to

24:15

end. And looking back

24:17

now on the two

24:19

female leads, Megan Fox is having

24:21

like a major Renaissance. I mean,

24:23

as someone who runs

24:25

a celebrity brand, I

24:28

get asked about her all the time.

24:30

There is huge interest in Megan Fox.

24:33

Where they are all the

24:35

time. Yeah. Well, Megan Fox and Shego

24:37

Kelly, but also on her own. She's

24:39

created a lot of interest over

24:42

the past couple of years. And Amanda Seyfried

24:45

obviously has proven to be, I

24:47

think, one of our time best

24:50

actresses. I agree with that. Amanda's

24:52

insane. So good in that bad blood.

24:56

But the Megan, I mean, I

24:59

want to know more about Megan and she's my

25:01

friend, but like she is one of the most

25:03

intriguing. Like she

25:05

has mystique in a way that so few celebrities

25:07

have in this day and age. And

25:10

so I think that's probably why if you get a

25:12

lot of inquiries about her, it's because she's like, fascinating.

25:14

She's like, are Elizabeth Taylor or something? And

25:17

I think she's just iconic. And she was so ahead of

25:20

her time as a performer, because at

25:22

the time, I don't think people could accept that this

25:25

complicated intellectual person was that

25:27

gorgeous. Yes, I

25:30

think I think that that's it. You're right. And I

25:32

think maybe this is her time because I feel like

25:35

so much has happened in

25:37

our in our world and our society that

25:39

like people understand her better now. Yeah,

25:42

they did. And

25:44

also, I want to say, I just want to

25:46

add this, and I'm sure you could back it

25:48

up. People want to know what she's like. Because

25:51

back then, she got so much shit for

25:53

how she was so outspoken. I have

25:55

not heard one bad thing about Megan

25:58

Fox as a person. or anyone

26:01

who's worked with her had one bad thing to

26:03

say. So the hate that she got around like

26:05

the transformer time, and I'm sorry, I don't know

26:07

the years of transformer to Jennifer's

26:09

body, I don't know if it

26:11

was around the same time, but. It was, it was in

26:13

the same era and she did not deserve

26:16

any static. And she's

26:19

also such a professional and like,

26:21

yeah, incredibly, no one

26:23

has anything negative to say about her. So

26:26

the fact that people would look at that situation

26:29

and say, poor Michael Bay.

26:32

Yeah, exactly. But they did, that's like the

26:34

kind of, if that happened now, forget it.

26:36

Like people would stand behind her, rally behind

26:39

her. It wouldn't be the

26:41

same situation. But back then she

26:43

got so raked over the coals and

26:45

it was such a shame because like

26:48

I said, like now that I hear everything

26:50

about everyone, I've never heard a bad thing

26:52

about her. And I was like, wow, what

26:54

a misunderstood person. And

26:57

it just made me wanna take

26:59

the opportunity to say what I've

27:01

heard about her every time her name comes up, which is why I'm

27:03

bringing it up. Because I- And I will

27:06

vouch for that as someone who- Yeah. With

27:08

her is she's a delight. And I

27:10

think at the time the attitude was just

27:12

that young women should be grateful for

27:16

attention and fame. And

27:18

if you had any complaints about

27:20

how you were treated or objectified,

27:23

it meant you were ungrateful

27:25

and difficult. Yeah.

27:29

So Lisa Frankenstein comes out Friday.

27:32

February 9th. February 9th. Go

27:34

see it. Go see it. I

27:36

mean, talk about

27:38

original screenplay. I've never seen a movie like this before.

27:40

I mean, obviously Frankenstein

27:42

was an inspiration, but

27:46

there's so much more to it. Oh yeah. I don't wanna

27:48

give it away. Don't give it away. I was talking to

27:51

Farris. We were coming up with questions. I'm like, ah, that

27:53

gives it away. I don't wanna give anything away because I

27:55

feel like you don't really know what's

27:57

gonna happen next. I had

27:59

no idea. I didn't know

28:01

where it was going either. The first 10 minutes I'm

28:03

like, hmm. Right. Wait a second. What's happening

28:05

here? Right. It really does. This won't give

28:08

it away, but you're like, okay, she loves this statue.

28:10

Yeah. Okay, what's gonna happen?

28:13

It's a weird movie. It's an interesting movie

28:15

to get into because once it starts rolling,

28:17

you're like, okay, I get what this is.

28:19

But at first, especially because it is an

28:21

offbeat movie, at first you're like, is this

28:23

funny? It's like the tone of

28:25

it is a tricky one to capture. That's

28:28

the beauty of it though. Those are the intriguing

28:31

projects. Right. The ones where

28:33

you really have to guess what the tone of the film

28:35

is. And what's gonna happen next. Yeah, yeah. Of

28:38

course, there's a party scene in the beginning, which I

28:40

love. I love a movie with like a getting ready

28:42

scene or a party scene. Especially in 80s. Yeah.

28:45

Going back. So what's next

28:47

for you? What is next? Oh,

28:50

I'm working on this, a non-please project. I

28:52

don't know. I don't know. That's

28:54

very exciting. It's

28:57

always, TV development is always slow going.

29:00

But that has been actually a

29:02

major focus for me recently. And

29:05

also just wrote

29:08

another movie over the summer, another teen comedy, because

29:10

I'm suddenly obsessed with teenagers again after years

29:13

of growing up. I love YA. I

29:16

love YA. I never got over it. We're like

29:18

captains of the YA school over here. I'm back. So

29:21

I'm back. Yay! I feel like I

29:23

have to do it while I still can, because at some point, I'm just

29:25

going to have to hang it up. But I love it. And

29:28

so that's what I've been up to. Can

29:30

you tell us anything about the direction

29:33

of a non-please? What is your vision?

29:35

Are you going to... I don't know

29:37

anything about adapting a book to

29:39

a TV series. Do you

29:42

keep it close to the plot in the

29:44

book, or you think you'll go

29:46

off that? So the book

29:48

is really, obviously, it's the core of the

29:50

whole series. So it's important to be faithful

29:52

to the events of the book, and at

29:55

the same time, what's so fun about a

29:57

series is you can really expand it and

29:59

create new characters. and drama. I

30:01

think people are going to laugh

30:03

their asses off because I'm writing it with Ryan O'Connell,

30:05

who's one of the funniest people alive. And

30:08

we really want to keep that spirit

30:10

of like, not

30:13

campy, but like, we don't

30:15

want it to just be like straight

30:17

soapy drama. We want it to be

30:20

sharp and funny and incisive and satirical

30:22

and really make a statement on the

30:24

world of celebrities and the currency of

30:26

information, which as you know, is it's a

30:31

whole thing, you know, how much this info is

30:33

worth. So we've

30:35

just been having a lot of fun with it.

30:37

I get asked this question like pretty weekly

30:39

or biweekly. Who do you see as

30:41

playing the main character cricket? We don't.

30:44

This is the thing. I never speak to

30:49

these things before we've gone out to people because

30:51

it can put you in the ass. Oh,

30:54

okay. You never want to like put

30:56

out like, Oh, we want this person and then it's not them

30:58

and then like, you know what I mean? Like, so I just,

31:01

I know that's not a fun answer, but

31:03

I just try to keep it wide open. And

31:05

then you hope that you hope that a person

31:08

who's really meaningful and has a lot

31:10

of fans signs on because that's always helpful. Yeah,

31:13

for sure. Well, I'm excited. I'm beyond

31:15

excited. I know. I see this come

31:17

to life. I mean, I must say

31:19

that like a lot happened in my

31:21

world since the ending of Anon, please,

31:23

because we kind of ended it really

31:26

at the beginning of the story. Yeah. Well,

31:28

it's important to pass on a lot more

31:30

information for us. We love it. I am

31:33

so excited for you to be working

31:36

on this project when I heard this, obviously, I

31:39

mean, I've talked about Jennifer's body 500 times.

31:42

I like

31:44

almost died. I was so excited because that

31:46

is one of my all time favorite movies.

31:48

So thank you so much. Thank you. I

31:50

don't even I mean, this is the second

31:52

time we spoke. Thank you so much for

31:54

even being interested to work

31:58

on this project. It means the world to me. It

32:01

blew me away when I found out that you'd

32:03

be writing it. Well, it's we're blowing

32:05

away that we get to do it. So thank

32:07

you. Okay, you guys. Lisa

32:09

Frankenstein, Friday, Friday,

32:11

February 9th. Will

32:13

it be released in theaters nationwide?

32:17

I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Okay.

32:20

Okay, just checking because you never know what these days

32:22

with like weird. So no, it's gonna be

32:24

it's gonna be out there. Everybody

32:26

goes to get pleased this weekend. Yes.

32:28

Everyone goes to see Lisa Frankenstein. To an

32:30

actual movie theater, sit in an actual seat

32:33

inside of the theater. We forget what

32:36

that's like, but it's so fun. Literally

32:38

the only way to watch a movie. This is a fun one to

32:40

see in the theater too. And I know everyone says that, but it

32:42

really is because it feels like the 80s when we actually did go

32:44

to the movie. So yeah, that's such a good point. That's such a

32:47

good point. Well,

32:49

Diablo, thank you so much for coming on

32:51

the podcast, taking time to speak with us.

32:54

And we look forward to. Yay. See

32:57

37:09

Well that was so much fun. She is

37:11

a delight. She is talking to an industry

37:14

veteran and someone

37:16

who actually creates

37:18

the work that we all enjoy,

37:21

that we all gossip about and

37:23

yeah that we all enjoy. I

37:27

think that fans of Cole Sprouse, they're

37:29

going to be shocked. They're going to be shocked to

37:31

see him and Lisa Frankenstein because I too did like

37:33

double take that. I was like wait a second because

37:35

you knew it was him right because we knew who

37:38

was in it. Yes, but you were

37:40

like is that him? Maybe

37:42

he plays another role? I

37:44

thought he'd be playing the heartthrob. Oh

37:46

yeah, yeah. You know like the jock.

37:49

The jock, yeah. But

37:51

very surprising. That'd be too easy. You're right. Not

37:53

like that's easy but you know. I know what

37:55

you mean. No, that would be too typical. Typical

37:58

casting. That's what I meant. Correct, correct, correct. Okay,

38:00

well, let's get into the topics of the

38:02

week. Okay, we're gonna start with a little

38:04

F1 news. So our first topic

38:07

is about Lewis Hamilton

38:09

moving to Ferrari next year.

38:11

Okay. Yeah, so a

38:14

lot of people when this was announced asked me

38:16

if I had any inside information. I didn't,

38:19

but the audience did. Mm hmm.

38:22

So I got a lot of responses

38:25

to this. We bullet pointed them, because

38:27

I basically had to read through everyone's response.

38:30

A lot of people said the same thing.

38:33

And sort of make

38:35

a little summary of what everyone said.

38:37

So this is a combination of all

38:39

the answers regarding why

38:42

Lewis Hamilton left Mercedes

38:44

for Ferrari. This might be information that

38:46

the fans already know. But if you

38:49

are a more casual F1 fan, this

38:51

might be news to you. Mm hmm.

38:54

So we should first start out by

38:56

kind of comparing and contrasting what Lewis

38:58

Hamilton put out there via

39:00

his Instagram account a couple days ago.

39:03

So he did mention that after

39:05

an incredible 11 years at Mercedes,

39:08

the times come for him to start a new chapter. And

39:11

he said he was joining

39:13

Ferrari starting into 2025. He's

39:15

saying, quote, the time is right to make a change to

39:18

quote, take on a new challenge. And

39:20

that Mercedes has been a huge part of his

39:22

life since he was 13 years

39:25

old, and that leaving Mercedes was,

39:27

quote, the hardest decision I've ever

39:29

had to make. So

39:31

he seems

39:34

like he's just looking to

39:36

move to Ferrari to

39:39

fulfill this other childhood dream of his. So

39:41

it was a dream to work for Mercedes

39:44

and to be on that team. And now

39:46

it's also a dream for him to be

39:48

on Ferrari's team as well. Right. But there

39:51

were other reasons why

39:53

he made the move. So let's

39:56

just rattle off. Okay. So

39:58

it seems like from the

40:00

intel that we received there's kind

40:03

of three different reasons for the

40:05

move. So the first

40:07

one was really a better contract.

40:10

So our sources said that Mercedes

40:12

only gave him a two-year contract

40:14

with the option to leave after

40:16

one year and Lewis wanted more.

40:19

Ferrari gave him a multi-year contract

40:21

plus a ten-year ambassadorship, $100 million

40:23

a year to raise plus a sizable

40:27

donation to his personal charities which is

40:29

something Mercedes was not willing to do

40:32

and Mercedes wasn't going to allow him to

40:34

be able to be a brand ambassador until

40:36

around 2035. So it would be quite a

40:38

while until he'd have

40:41

that opportunity. Our

40:44

sources said another reason was

40:46

that Ferrari had a better

40:48

machine, a better car. So

40:51

Lewis thought Ferrari would be

40:53

able to produce the car that will make him

40:55

win again. He's always

40:58

said he wanted to drive for Ferrari

41:00

before he retired so this was

41:02

an opportunity for him and

41:04

there is also this rumor

41:06

allegedly that Mercedes didn't take

41:08

his suggestions to improve their

41:10

car and Hamilton expressed

41:12

concerns over the design of Mercedes car

41:14

along with one of their top engineers

41:17

and head of vehicle performance Lewis but

41:20

Mercedes didn't listen to their

41:22

suggestions apparently. So this engineer

41:25

this head of vehicle performance Lewis Sarah was

41:28

poached by Ferrari first and then

41:30

Hamilton followed his decision

41:33

to to join the Ferrari team and

41:35

the third reason our sources gave was

41:38

that Lewis Hamilton has had

41:40

a long-standing relationship with a lot

41:42

of the players from Ferrari. Lewis

41:45

has had a particular great

41:47

relationship with the Ferrari team

41:49

principal Fred Vassour going

41:52

back to Lewis's years in the lower racing

41:54

series with Fred and the

41:56

Ferrari chair John Elkin also reportedly pursued

41:58

Lewis for quite a while. while

42:00

and in one of our

42:03

readers opinions Mercedes took Lewis for

42:05

granted and then messed

42:07

around and found out when Ferrari

42:09

swooped in with a better contract

42:12

really really the reader said fucked around and

42:14

found out trying to keep it I was

42:16

I was trying to keep a vanilla yeah

42:18

so this reader said that Mercedes fucked around

42:20

and found out and Lewis is

42:22

basically like I'm going to for our I'm

42:25

out yeah so that's that's what

42:27

we heard versus what

42:30

Lewis posted publicly right

42:32

which is always tip of the iceberg right

42:35

you're never gonna get the whole

42:37

story the whole story again I don't

42:39

know if this is particularly

42:42

any insider information this

42:44

is just what

42:46

everyone submitted when the question came up

42:48

on an IG

42:50

Q&A so I would thank everyone for

42:52

filling me in

42:55

I like to post about F1 I just don't

42:57

know enough about it and obviously

42:59

the people who submitted know know

43:02

they know it's like the bachelor the bachelor

43:04

F1 it's all just basically I know nothing

43:06

we're learning we're learning our second topic is

43:08

another F1 story

43:17

about Christian Horner

43:20

who is former Spice Girl

43:22

Jerry Halliwell's husband and

43:24

principal of the Red Bull Racing Team

43:26

he is under investigation

43:29

for quote inappropriate behavior

43:32

so just a little synopsis of what we

43:34

know so far the

43:36

Daily Mail had published yesterday

43:38

an article that outlined that

43:41

they understand the accusations

43:43

are surrounding claims of wrongdoing made by

43:46

a team employee and

43:48

a source within the Red Bull team

43:50

added that the claims under scrutiny related

43:52

to quote incredibly controlling behavior but Christian

43:56

he's denying all these claims at

43:58

this stage and he's referring to

44:00

them as quote nuts nuts

44:03

nuts oh nuts again

44:06

okay we had a couple sources write in

44:08

about this the first person says quote that

44:13

Christian Horner thing is about to

44:15

be wild honestly I

44:17

think he's going to have to

44:19

take a step back possibly we

44:21

will see how much so during

44:23

the new livery reveal next Thursday

44:26

this person also alleges that

44:28

they heard it was a female engineer at

44:31

Red Bull that filed the complaint

44:33

it's most likely sexual harassment it's

44:35

a good thing they're bringing in

44:37

an outside company to do the

44:39

investigation so it shows no bias

44:43

also Red Bull is doing

44:45

the investigation not Red Bull

44:47

racing so it's even more

44:49

of a massive deal that

44:51

is what that person alleges somebody else

44:54

chimed in with this following

44:56

information I don't

44:59

know if it's confirmed again

45:01

this is just a rumor this person

45:03

says quote Horner has been asked to

45:05

resign and go quietly or

45:07

be fired on Friday Adrian

45:10

Newey who has designed

45:12

half the championship winning cars

45:14

for Williams McLaren and

45:16

Red Bull over the past 30

45:18

years is likely to resign and

45:20

only there because of Horner this

45:23

person continues that

45:26

Adrian will

45:28

most likely join Ferrari when

45:30

Lewis arrives his

45:32

last two dreams of his career were

45:34

to work for Ferrari and Lewis this

45:37

person alleges that Horner

45:40

sent the strategy girl an inappropriate

45:43

picture and was

45:45

very controlling towards her and others

45:48

and she filed a report and

45:50

they got an external barrister to

45:52

investigate so

45:55

the controlling towards her is what

45:57

the Daily Mail used to they

45:59

use that same word controlling, I

46:01

don't really understand what

46:03

that means, and nobody's really

46:06

going into specifics. As

46:09

far as the inappropriate picture,

46:12

this person says they think that's

46:14

what happened, they are not 100%

46:17

sure, but they reiterate the controlling,

46:23

the controlling part. So I don't have any insight

46:25

as to what that controlling

46:27

behavior entails, but

46:30

this is the information. Well, that's

46:32

really all we have at

46:34

this stage. Okay, what's next for us? The Grammys.

46:37

Okay, everybody always

46:40

wants Grammy after party gossip. Unfortunately,

46:44

coming up nuts, I don't get a lot

46:46

of after party gossip in general.

46:49

I've said this before, sometimes

46:51

I get information like

46:53

months or weeks after

46:55

the event. So

46:58

that might be the case here, but

47:00

we did have a seat filler, send

47:04

in some observations as

47:08

they were filling seats throughout

47:10

the night. I'm just gonna rattle

47:13

off what they wrote. It's

47:15

like in a bullet point format.

47:17

This person says, a weirdly high

47:19

number of celebrities tried taking photos

47:22

with jelly roll. They

47:24

alleged Taylor Swift was drinking a

47:26

lot and that

47:28

people around this seat filler

47:32

were talking about it. They

47:35

also say that SZA had the

47:38

most support from the floor. Second

47:40

was Miley. SZA was

47:42

the one artist the Academy members were

47:45

really vocal of supporting. The next bullet

47:47

point is when they do a countdown

47:49

to being live after a commercial break,

47:51

they asked for quiet and Taylor proceeded

47:53

to talk enough for people to hear

47:56

her rose away, but it only happened

47:58

once. They continue. No

48:00

one really approached Mark Ronson and that

48:02

made me really sad. They all went

48:04

to his mother-in-law, Meryl Streep, and

48:08

they finished by saying everyone was late

48:10

due to the rain. It was crazy.

48:12

These are some interesting. Nothing crazy. Observations.

48:15

No, nothing crazy. I think

48:17

some of this we saw as viewers. Yeah.

48:20

We saw Taylor definitely enjoying herself. Yeah. She

48:22

was like up and at it the

48:25

whole time. Yeah. On her feet,

48:27

enjoying the performances, supporting her

48:29

fellow musician, right? Probably having a cocktail

48:32

or two, which in my opinion, like, we're not

48:34

going to get into this because I don't have

48:36

any inside information. The

48:38

whole Celine Dion situation.

48:40

I think that obviously

48:43

it was a mistake. I don't think that she

48:45

intentionally. Not Celine

48:47

Dion. If she was partying

48:49

and having a good time, she could have

48:51

just been like out of it and overwhelmed

48:54

when she was going to say, I can't

48:56

even imagine what I mean. I don't care

48:58

how many times that you step onto a

49:00

stage to receive an award. That's that has

49:02

to be overwhelming. You've got an overwhelming, surreal

49:05

experience every single time. I'm

49:08

sure it was something I think she made

49:10

a mistake. I don't think it was right.

49:12

What she did. I think,

49:14

but not intentional, but not intentional. I think

49:16

it was a mistake. I think obviously, you

49:18

know, the internet loves to go on a

49:22

witch hunt and, you know,

49:24

pin people to the proverbial cross.

49:26

Correct. And inflate

49:29

really what the reality of the situation. The

49:31

reality of the situation is we don't know.

49:33

Like only she knows and she probably won't

49:35

speak on it. Right. As

49:37

she rarely speaks on anything. You know, I

49:39

think her Time magazine

49:43

interview was one

49:46

of the only times last year that she

49:49

really, really opened up about stuff. I

49:51

didn't even read it. Did you talk

49:53

about a lot of personal?

49:55

Yeah, I thought so. From the clip from

49:57

the excerpts I read. Yeah. So

50:00

maybe she'll talk about this, you know, in an

50:03

interview down the line. I

50:05

don't think that she's going to give Celine

50:08

Dion a public apology. I know people are

50:10

calling for that. I just don't

50:12

think that'll happen. Okay, what's next?

50:15

NHL blind items. Okay,

50:18

so I didn't

50:20

realize that this would

50:23

cause such a stir, but in

50:26

yesterday's Instagram, Q&A,

50:29

somebody submitted, years

50:31

ago, the Tom Brady of hockey tried to

50:33

take me back to his hotel room. He

50:36

was engaged. And I

50:38

said to the audience, like, rhetorically,

50:41

like, who's the Tom Brady of hockey?

50:43

Like, you know, I'm not

50:45

even sure if I know who

50:47

that is. Granted, I know probably

50:49

like five hockey players off

50:52

the top of my head, although I'm

50:54

learning more because the audience is really

50:56

into hockey. So they're teaching me who

50:58

all the popular players are. Some

51:01

of the guesses were Sidney

51:03

Crosby, Connor McDavid

51:06

was a popular guess, and Wayne Gretzky.

51:11

But Wayne Gretzky is a lot older. I

51:13

went back and I checked out this person's

51:17

IG profile, and she looks rather young.

51:20

So I feel like Wayne Gretzky

51:23

is out. An

51:26

overwhelming amount of guesses on this.

51:29

I think that the person saw that I

51:31

kept posting about it, the submitter. So

51:33

she reached out and she said the following,

51:37

hi, it's me, the messenger. It

51:40

was not Sidney Crosby, although he's my

51:42

number one hockey crush. The

51:44

player is not Canadian like Sid

51:46

and not American. I

51:49

don't want to reveal his identity because

51:51

he seems grown up now, but he

51:53

is 100% considered one

51:55

of the greatest of all times. I'm

51:58

such a hockey fan. It was incredible. to

52:00

be in his presence at this club, but

52:02

was enough of a fan to know he

52:05

was engaged and didn't want to do anything

52:07

inappropriate. So a missed

52:09

opportunity I am definitely at peace

52:12

with. Wow, hats off

52:14

to that stand-up reader

52:16

submitter. Well first of all thank

52:19

you for offering this information

52:21

because I would have had to double back through

52:23

the Q&A, find their submission, and then message

52:27

them. But they

52:29

reached out so I appreciate that. So I guess

52:31

we're not gonna get an answer. You guys can

52:34

still guess but nothing will ever be able to

52:36

be confirmed. The players not Canadian

52:38

and not American. When

52:40

Sidney Crosby's name kept

52:43

coming up there were

52:45

people who wrote in and said there's

52:47

no way it could be

52:49

him. He's such a stand-up guy. He's

52:52

so nice. He's so private. He's so quiet. I've

52:54

heard some stories about Sidney Crosby in the

52:57

past. I think I even posted

53:00

a couple and last night

53:03

when the Q&A was cooking somebody

53:05

submitted this. Sidney Crosby tried hooking up with

53:08

my friend the night she was celebrating

53:10

her 18th birthday at a club in Montreal

53:12

and then tried to booty call her multiple

53:14

times during our freshman year of college. He

53:16

was 28 at the time, a non-please. So

53:19

my point is I don't

53:22

think Sidney Crosby's the angel that

53:25

everyone thinks he is. I think he's

53:27

just a normal guy. That's

53:30

what guys do, you know? I'm a number of dogs. We

53:33

know athletes are

53:35

more doggy than others.

53:37

We talk about it a lot.

53:43

We've ranked by sport.

53:46

Number one cheating

53:49

athletes. Sorry,

53:51

not their names but the sport that they

53:53

play. Hockey and baseball

53:57

being tied for number one. based

54:00

on reader opinion. I've never done a poll,

54:02

you know, an official poll

54:04

of which sport cheats

54:07

the most, but based on reader

54:09

opinion, baseball, hockey, then

54:12

basketball, football,

54:15

like football, like as much as hockey

54:17

and baseball cheats, like football

54:20

was less. I was gonna say,

54:22

because that makes sense. Think about

54:24

this, right? With football, you're only

54:26

technically, besides practice, which obviously you

54:28

do all week, I'd imagine,

54:30

but you only have to be

54:34

away from your family for

54:36

that one game a week, wherever

54:38

that may be. So, and the reason I kind of

54:40

know this is because I listened to a podcast

54:44

where Peyton Manning was talking about just

54:46

like how it's the best sport if

54:48

you're a family person. So

54:51

that to me, that does make sense

54:53

that football would be lower in the

54:55

ranks because they have to be more.

54:57

And baseball has the most amount of

54:59

games per season. So there you go.

55:01

You're a wet. That's why. Yeah. And

55:03

yeah, exactly. Like there's like three games

55:05

per, you know, series

55:07

or whatever. Right. So my

55:09

point is, I wouldn't assume

55:13

that just because a hockey player is a nice

55:16

guy or a good guy that he's

55:18

not doing whatever, no other

55:20

athlete is doing. And might I

55:22

remind everyone, cheating is not illegal

55:25

in the United States and America. I

55:27

feel like people talk about it like it's a

55:29

crime. I mean, yeah, it sucks, but it's not

55:32

nice thing to do, but it's not illegal. You

55:34

won't get ticketed. No, you won't get

55:37

thrown in jail. Right. Okay. What's

55:39

next? First, Sean Mendez. This

55:41

is a quick update. I forgot to tell you

55:43

guys this. We put it in the newsletter on

55:46

Sunday and I've also

55:49

told IG subscribers this, but we got this update

55:51

about Sean and I forgot to tell you guys.

55:53

So this is kind of an older

55:55

update, but I think some people will be

55:57

happy to hear. that

56:00

a source wrote in and

56:03

reported, quote, Sean ended things

56:05

with Charlie before Christmas. Also, he's

56:07

no longer part of the men's

56:09

group he was in. As

56:11

far as my source knows, he was

56:13

never part of the cult. We, at

56:16

one point, thought he was in. They

56:18

think the group was leveraging any connection with

56:20

Sean to get some press. Sean

56:22

is spending a lot of time

56:25

in Costa Rica. Can you just picture

56:27

him on the shores of Costa Rica,

56:29

just surfing, I don't

56:32

know, journaling? For sure. Seems like

56:34

his happy place. Yeah. Somebody just

56:36

asked me when he's releasing new

56:38

music. I know he's working on

56:41

new music. I don't know when

56:43

any release dates. I haven't asked

56:45

about any release dates for anyone.

56:47

That goes for Gaga, Billie Eilish,

56:50

Sean Mendes, any

56:52

other Taylor release dates. I

56:55

haven't heard about any of that.

56:58

All I've heard, and somebody actually

57:02

backed me up with this in

57:04

the DMs this morning, is that Harry Styles

57:06

is touring in 2025. Thank

57:08

you, Jesus. Are you going to

57:10

go? We need to go. Oh my god, should we

57:13

go? Yeah, I love his music. Let's go.

57:16

What's next, Faris? OK. King

57:18

Charles being diagnosed with

57:20

cancer. Right.

57:22

So this morning on

57:24

CNN, they reported

57:27

that Charles' recent health problem started

57:29

last month when Buckingham

57:31

Palace announced on January 17 that

57:34

the King would attend hospital to

57:37

undergo a, quote, corrective procedure,

57:39

end quote, for a benign

57:41

enlarged prostate. That's

57:44

what the royal family is putting

57:46

out there as far as what's

57:48

happening with King Charles. Read me

57:50

the line about the prostate again.

57:52

They are saying that it was

57:55

a corrective procedure. OK, corrective procedure.

57:58

OK, so first of all. you

58:00

know, we wish King Charles the

58:02

best. I received a lot of questions

58:04

about this in the Q and A.

58:06

Same with Kate Middleton. Information

58:09

gets released to the media, but of

58:11

course, you know, people don't believe

58:13

it or understand it. I think that's what

58:16

happened with Kate Middleton. We talked

58:18

about her in a previous podcast

58:21

episode. As

58:23

far as King Charles, this

58:25

is what was relayed to me.

58:29

Okay, read me that prostate line one more

58:31

time, because that's important. Corrective

58:33

procedure for a benign enlarged

58:35

prostate. Right. So

58:38

this person is alleging that

58:40

he had full removal of

58:46

his prostate gland, which

58:49

is not uncommon, but

58:51

it could mean that it was

58:53

actually removed because it was cancerous,

58:56

which they don't say, right? They

58:58

just say a

59:00

corrective issue, right? During this

59:03

procedure, apparently that's when they

59:05

found something cancerous.

59:08

Right. It was like one

59:10

of those situations where- So they're saying all

59:12

the words, they're just not linking

59:14

them together. So this

59:16

source is alleging

59:18

that he had full removal

59:22

of his prostate gland, which

59:25

could mean that in fact, he

59:28

has prostate cancer, but that

59:30

it was found in his lymph nodes.

59:32

They continue that they heard he will

59:35

be undergoing radiation and not chemotherapy, and

59:37

the prognosis is very good. They

59:40

say that they didn't want to

59:42

disclose the prostate gland removal, which

59:44

is why they're calling it a

59:46

correction, because the main side effects

59:49

are incontinence and erectile dysfunction. That's

59:51

what this person is alleging. Why

59:54

they're saying it's a- Right, why

59:57

it's sort of like wordplay, saying it,

59:59

but like not- really saying it and you

1:00:01

know I had a conversation with this person and

1:00:03

I said to them what's the

1:00:05

big deal and what they

1:00:07

explained to me which I didn't understand

1:00:09

is that the British are very

1:00:12

hush-hush about you know things

1:00:14

like this like it's almost like you

1:00:18

don't talk about it. Yeah, you

1:00:20

don't talk about erectile dysfunction. That

1:00:22

doesn't exist. Right or you know

1:00:25

whatever's going on with Kate Middleton her foul

1:00:28

or whatever is going on. So

1:00:30

inappropriate in British culture. Inappropriate right

1:00:33

so they they're approaching their release

1:00:36

of information a little differently but the

1:00:39

reason I kept asking you to asking

1:00:41

you to repeat that sentence because I

1:00:43

do think it is saying in a

1:00:45

way the same thing what this source

1:00:47

alleges without saying

1:00:49

it. That was a lot of finger

1:00:51

pointing. I know I was finger pointing because I had to like

1:00:54

ask you to think about it. It's like you have to

1:00:56

read between the lines. I feel like I've said this a

1:00:59

bunch of times. You have to read between the lines. You

1:01:01

have to read beyond the headline. You have

1:01:04

to read the way things are worded.

1:01:06

I mean this is something that

1:01:08

I've had to learn when

1:01:11

I'm putting things in my own words. The

1:01:13

way you say something is very important

1:01:15

which is why I always get upset

1:01:18

when people say that I've

1:01:20

said things that I haven't.

1:01:25

You know and then you know people will say well you're not

1:01:27

saying that but you're spreading them. Well fine

1:01:30

I'm not I'm not saying I'm

1:01:32

not spreading the information but I you know if

1:01:34

I don't if an email is posted and it's

1:01:36

not my words that's not me saying it. I'm

1:01:38

just trying to make that distinction because

1:01:40

because I've learned to be very careful with my wording.

1:01:42

Yeah I mean in

1:01:45

every scenario not just in this particular

1:01:47

business right in life. So I think

1:01:49

as far as the Royals go it's

1:01:51

a lot of wordplay. I think

1:01:54

the important thing to take from this is that

1:01:56

the prognosis is very good. They caught it early.

1:02:00

and they're handling it. Yeah, we have one more topic.

1:02:02

What? Early aughts gossip. Oh,

1:02:04

right. And I had to look

1:02:07

up what early aughts was because I was

1:02:09

born yesterday. Okay, thank you, Farris, for reminding

1:02:11

me. How could I have forgotten? So

1:02:14

this was a question that was

1:02:16

posed in a Q&A. Somebody

1:02:18

wanted early aughts gossip, much like

1:02:21

we do lightning round at the

1:02:23

end of a podcast episode based

1:02:25

on IG questions. I'm just gonna

1:02:27

lightning round the answers to early

1:02:29

aughts gossip. I'm going to just

1:02:31

rattle them off with no context,

1:02:34

and we could dive into any of these

1:02:36

answers further, if you'd like. This was a

1:02:38

question. Let's talk about 2000s gossip. Who

1:02:41

cheated, who hooked up with who, rumors, et cetera.

1:02:43

I picked out the best answers. This

1:02:45

person says, Michelle Branch wrote most

1:02:47

of hotel paper about Taylor Hanson.

1:02:50

That is Taylor Hanson of Hanson,

1:02:52

the Rup Hanson. This

1:02:55

person says, I heard Brad Pitt hooked up

1:02:57

with Robin Givens when

1:02:59

she was married to Mike Tyson. Brave.

1:03:02

I heard that too. I feel like they dated. Sting cheated

1:03:05

on his wife at a strip club in Houston in 2000.

1:03:08

Did Rachel Bilson cheat on Adam Brody

1:03:11

with Zach Braff? Like the

1:03:13

rumors said, I'm going with a no. I

1:03:16

haven't heard that rumor, so I would love to hear more. I

1:03:19

saw Chris Martin and Kate Bosworth leaving

1:03:21

a killer show in 2008. Never

1:03:24

kissed? Hmm. They

1:03:26

maintained that they were always just friends. So this person

1:03:29

is saying, obviously they dated. Nothing

1:03:31

is more 2000s than when my best friend

1:03:33

used to hook up with Gavin DeGraw. Okay,

1:03:35

I've deep dived into Gavin

1:03:37

DeGraw several times if you are an

1:03:39

early DeMoy reader. Was

1:03:43

he problematic? Kind of, yeah. This is

1:03:45

for Charmed fans. Somebody says, OG Charmed

1:03:47

affairs, Phoebe with Leo, Phoebe's

1:03:49

Alyssa Milano, and Leo is? Brian

1:03:52

Krauss. And Prue with Cole.

1:03:54

Prue is Shannon. And who's Cole?

1:03:57

Julian McMahon. Yeah, I think I heard

1:03:59

about that. I didn't hear

1:04:01

about Alyssa and Brian, but I

1:04:04

heard about Shannon and Julian McMahon, who's

1:04:06

so hot. Brad

1:04:08

and Angelina used to sneak off to the

1:04:10

Parker and Palm Springs while he was married.

1:04:14

I had a friend who was hooking up with Ben Harper while

1:04:16

he was married to Laura Dern. Mom

1:04:19

from 7th Heaven got a DUI or

1:04:21

PI during the run

1:04:23

of the show and it was covered up.

1:04:25

All the actors caught sleeping with the nanny,

1:04:27

Jude Law, Ethan Hawke, etc. I think Tom

1:04:29

Brady. Is he on that list? Ben

1:04:31

Affleck? One of the two. Rumor. Nicole

1:04:34

Kidman cheated on Tom Cruise with Ewan

1:04:36

McGregor while they made Moulin Rouge. Yeah,

1:04:38

we've talked about that before. Don't

1:04:41

know if that's true, but... Michael

1:04:43

C. Hall ruining his marriage to

1:04:45

Jennifer Carpenter because of Julia Stiles.

1:04:48

I never heard of that one. Wait. This person

1:04:50

says, Charlotte and Big, the actors hooked

1:04:52

up. What happened there? Okay, that is...

1:04:56

Kristen Davis and Chris Knoth. That

1:04:59

is not who I heard hooked up on that set. Let's

1:05:01

just put it that way. And that's

1:05:04

it. Those are the best ones, the best submissions. Well,

1:05:07

there you have it. Rattled off with no context.

1:05:09

Early aughts. Early aughts. Aughts. Okay,

1:05:13

guys, thank you for joining us. We will see you

1:05:15

next week. Bye. Bye. This

1:05:18

has been a production of Caden 13, an

1:05:21

Odyssey studio. New episodes of Do
