Ice, but it can be a good thing and

0:06

we can be a catalyst, recreation, inspiring the world

0:08

to raise the bar. And Angels Envy is a

0:11

bourbon that is worth the Envy. Angels and Be

0:13

bend the Rules is a little different from all

0:15

the other bourbons out there Because Angels Envy is

0:17

the pioneer of secondary finishing in bourbon. Angels and

0:20

V is finished and poor barrels which adds a

0:22

layer of complexity to the whiskey and gives it

0:24

a unique and approachable flavor. Plus, Angels and V

0:26

is one of the first full production urban distilleries

0:28

in downtown Google. And whether. It's for someone

0:30

special order bring to a housewarming party. Angels

0:33

0:35

notified as next of. Because

1:21

he felt the airplane. I.

1:24

Live in our a laugh out that. Semi

1:27

a long fucking night. This

1:32

week we've got the very busy, busy Philipps

1:34

to final answer the question. What

1:39

is a woman will wrong on this year to

1:41

finally take Palm Springs for the gays. John Marcos

1:43

are easy, looks great on the lights of Broadway

1:45

and in case we all paris this week will

1:48

end this show with one thing we want Name

1:50

need you to clear off of our browser histories.

1:54

But. First. Let's. Get into it. What?

1:57

A week. Sen.

2:00

Joe Lieberman has died at the age of eighty

2:02

two due to complications from a fall. It's sad,

2:04

but he died doing what he loves, sitting in

2:07

a Boeing emergency exit row. Shows

2:11

you that I saw

2:13

rice. His. Dream of

2:15

a world with no labels remains unfilled even in death.

2:17

They have to put a little label on your toe.

2:24

Speaking of dropping fast and B C

2:26

dropped former Rnc chair run a Mcdaniel

2:29

as a political analysis. Nope. Analysts, analysts,

2:31

Analysts. you know, fuck it, leave it

2:33

in analysis. It's like them. As you

2:35

want to say, economics and era like

2:38

economix. Anyway, she gets shit canned four

2:40

days after. see series in that was

2:42

it's a me as mid a fierce

2:45

backlash. More like gonna Mcdaniel. Speaking

2:53

of the Rnc, the post purge Republican

2:55

National Committee has begun asking job applicants

2:58

if he believed the Twenty Twenty election

3:00

was stolen in order to help make

3:02

sure new hires are sufficiently pro trump.

3:05

The original plan just hiring Duke graduates

3:07

was only ninety percent affect us. They

3:09

are also tried putting an applicant in

3:11

a room with one marshmallow and then

3:14

said if they can avoid killing Mike

3:16

Pence for fifteen minutes so get to

3:18

marshmallow s. Meanwhile,

3:21

any Bloomberg News Morning Consult poll

3:23

found that President Biden has narrowed

3:25

or race Trump's lead in six

3:27

of seven swing states. Democracy.

3:33

Is now. In. A

3:36

margin of error.

3:38

It's. Right

3:40

there in that era bar. You

3:43

know, School.

3:46

According to a New A people Democrats are

3:48

more likely to say they feel fearful or

3:50

angry about Trump winning a second term than

3:52

republicans report those feelings about Biden getting reelected.

3:54

To. visit those same feelings of anger and fear

3:56

and republicans posters and said showed them a serial

3:58

commercial with a mixed race lesbian couple. But

4:03

Trump also inspires stronger positive reactions among

4:05

Republicans who were found to be more

4:07

excited about a potential Trump victory than

4:09

Democrats were about a Biden win. It

4:11

helps, of course, that Trump's cornered the market on the

4:13

absolute most insane people you've ever met. High

4:16

highs, low lows. Trump is out there promising

4:18

to shoot shoplifters and jail or kill his

4:20

enemies. Biden's promising not to cut

4:22

Social Security. It's not high-oncane stuff. It's not

4:24

supposed to be. Presidents are like

4:26

high school chemistry experiments. But they're getting people out of

4:28

their seats. Something has gone wrong. Speaking

4:32

of experiments gone wrong, Donald Trump, the former president and

4:34

guy who eats a whole row of Oreos and then

4:36

yells at the person who bought the Oreos and not

4:38

in like a funny way, like actually mad, announced

4:41

in a video on True Social this

4:44

week that he's selling God bless the

4:46

USA Bibles ahead of Good

4:48

Friday and Easter in partnership with country

4:50

singer Lee Greenwood. Religion and

4:52

Christianity are the biggest things missing from

4:55

this country. And I truly believe

4:57

that we need to bring them back and we have to

4:59

bring them back fast. In his version of

5:01

the Bible, though, it says Mary is a fourth best. Trump

5:06

continued, all Americans need a Bible in

5:08

their home and I have many.

5:11

It's my favorite book. Because

5:13

you know how books work. The more you like it, the more copies

5:15

you get. I

5:22

love this. I love this because it's a bald

5:24

face lie on two levels. He's asking you to

5:26

believe that his favorite book is the Bible, but

5:28

he's also asking you to accept the premise that

5:31

he has a favorite book. It's

5:33

like if I said I got my six pack

5:35

abs from free soloing buildings. The

5:38

God bless the USA Bible,

5:41

which costs $60, includes the Constitution,

5:43

the Bill of Rights, the Declaration

5:45

of Independence and the Pledge of

5:48

Allegiance, as well as the lyrics

5:50

to Greenwood's God bless the USA.

5:53

It's a cool blend of Christianity

5:56

and nationalism, combining a tacit assertion

5:58

of religious superiority. The empty

6:00

worship of patriotic symbols obviously not for

6:02

any lover embrace of the underlying precepts

6:05

or values contained in either Christian teachings

6:07

or America's founding documents, but More does

6:09

claim both. And the name of an

6:11

exploitative world views one in which the

6:13

Bible in the constitution belongs exclusively to

6:16

them. You my God, a kind of

6:18

Christian nationalism save you could name at

6:20

which I just did. Speaking

6:23

of nascent Christian Theocracy on Tuesday, the

6:25

Supreme court heard arguments on a challenge

6:28

to the abortion pill misrepresents with a

6:30

majority. Of justice to see me inclined

6:32

to reject that challenge and keep the

6:34

pill available. Things could be worse. Thing

6:36

said, be worse. Things could be worse.

6:38

Now you back in gaming, nothing else.

6:41

The places argue that they face moral

6:43

harm from the Fc a loosening restrictions

6:45

on me for priests don't because patients

6:47

who take the pills might then show

6:49

up at the hospitals where they work,

6:51

requiring follow up care to. Even in

6:54

the strongest version of this argument, it's

6:56

not that they might be forced to

6:58

give a patient and abortion against. Their

7:00

own belief is that they might be

7:02

forced to help keep them from dying

7:04

In the rare case something's going wrong.

7:06

You know, like in the bible where

7:08

Jesus as you ill, ill, ill lepers.

7:11

No thank you. Know.

7:20

That this on your

7:22

since. One.

7:24

Problem with even this ridiculous argument?

7:26

several of the doctors in question

7:29

are dentists and of a dentist

7:31

is dealing with abortion complications. They're

7:33

bigger problem that that hospital. And

7:36

as the lawyer for the government argued have worsened

7:38

Bills are so say that it's very rare for

7:41

any doctor to have to treat patients were serious

7:43

complications to see completely made up problems. Bring a

7:45

case this stupid to the supreme court to be

7:47

like calling in a fake emergency to nine One

7:49

One to should be criminal penalties, maybe not jail

7:52

time for something like having your eyebrows shaved off.

7:55

But right wing fever dreams were not contain

7:57

to the Supreme Court this week. Conspiracy Theorist.

8:00

The No Time Spreading misinformation about the

8:02

deadly collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key

8:04

Bridge which was struck by a huge

8:06

container ship early on Tuesday morning. Let

8:08

me just quickly correct a few things

8:10

you may have seen online. The captain

8:13

of the vessel was not Hunter Biden.

8:15

The Brits had not received an M

8:17

R and a vaccine. The container ship

8:19

is not trance. While. The collision

8:21

is under investigation. Law enforcement officials said

8:24

they had so far seen absolutely no

8:26

indication that this was done on purpose.

8:28

Nevertheless, indicted influencer Andrew T. tweeted that

8:31

the ships had been cyberattacks in a

8:33

post that has been viewed millions of

8:35

times. Far I conspiracy theorists Alex Jones

8:38

amplify Tate's post writing Looks deliberate to

8:40

me, a cyber attack is probable. W

8:42

W Three has already started. Assessed.

8:47

Imagine hearing a container ship has hit

8:49

a bridge and immediately saying i know

8:51

what happened here. Maybe just wait for

8:54

a shred him information and and will

8:56

actually know whether to blame De Ayer

8:58

the Jews. Or

9:00

Newsmax former Trump advisor and guy his

9:03

name sounds like a fish hitting the

9:05

counter match slacks and s. S.

9:12

Blame the disaster on you guessed

9:14

it. Covered lockouts, You.

9:17

Look at are critical infrastructure and

9:19

I'm one of these people that

9:21

pleases never fully come out of

9:23

all the lockdowns in the and

9:25

the Soviet is used to com

9:27

I'm no expert and what's going

9:29

on the scene for all I

9:32

would say is is that if

9:34

he talked to employers in America

9:36

they'll tell you that as filling

9:38

sloths with employees who art drug

9:40

addled it's a very huge from

9:42

adults and it's. Wouldn't.

9:45

It be nice. To live in a world where

9:47

every time something bad happened you could go

9:49

on television and say the reason that bad

9:51

thing happens is all the stuff we already

9:53

didn't like. What a life that must be!

9:55

How nice it must be to wake up

9:57

in the morning. Because. Obviously this.

10:00

Happy. He's

10:03

a very happy person. Based on reports of

10:06

how he lives his life, he's got it

10:08

all figured out. A

10:11

ship it a bridge because of a covert

10:14

lockdown four years ago. To be the last

10:16

thing you say before your involuntarily checked into

10:18

the hospital over on Fox News. Maria Bartiromo

10:20

suggested during an interview with Sen. Rick Scott's

10:23

the The Bridge collapse had some connections to

10:25

problems at the Border. Maersk is

10:27

out with some comments this morning

10:29

because I and that container that

10:31

sell that collided with the bridge

10:33

was chartered by Maersk. Look Iran

10:35

Homeland Security I want to understand

10:37

the threat. So are the potential

10:39

threats that this country is facing

10:41

right now. given us wide open

10:43

border and the fact that we

10:45

don't know who's in this country.

10:48

We got caravans of Danish container ship

10:50

sneaking across the Rio Grande to destroy

10:52

America as bridges and Biden needs to

10:54

answer forests and answer for it. he

10:57

did. President Biden said on Tuesday that

10:59

he intended for the Federal government to

11:01

pay for the entire cost of rebuilding

11:03

the bridge. Won't. God wasn't

11:05

gonna be Baltimore. I keep falling asleep during

11:07

the wire by don't think it ends with

11:10

the city acquiring bridge collapse No big deal,

11:12

levels of wealth. I

11:14

know Bind is reassuring people of the government will

11:16

step in to help, but I feel like Mares

11:19

to probably pay for some of it's at the

11:21

very least Baltimore and Mare suit exchange insurance information.

11:25

On Monday, Florida Governor Rhonda Santa signed a

11:27

law that bans minors and or fourteen years

11:29

of age from having social media accounts to

11:31

Santas explain the children under fourteen or not

11:33

yet mature enough to balance. Social media use

11:35

with the demands of their full time factory

11:37

jobs. Said

11:40

it has as being buried in those devices all

11:42

day is not the best way to grow up.

11:44

It's not the best way to get a good

11:46

education. Continue. the governor if kids

11:48

are absorbed in their phones how they

11:50

get the full benefit of in person

11:52

floridian school he experiences like a p

11:54

noah's ark and sexless ad which is

11:56

not a class but a weird guy

11:58

named adam make sure the kids are

12:00

using the right bathroom. Speaking

12:04

of bathrooms, climbers on Mount Everest this year

12:06

will have to start bringing their poop back

12:09

down the mountain with them in

12:11

accordance with new rules from local officials. The

12:13

rules address a poop pollution problem on Everest

12:15

driven by the rising number of climbers. Last

12:17

year Nepal issued a record 478 climbing

12:20

permits and that new Taco Bell on the

12:22

summit sure as shit doesn't help. Each

12:26

climber will be given two poop bags, each of

12:28

which can be used six times. What?

12:34

And as a gesture of goodwill each

12:36

climber will also receive two

12:38

bags of famous Mount Everest double

12:40

chocolate brownie nuggets. To

12:43

distinguish these bags from the turd bags

12:45

they will be in aqua instead of

12:47

the usual turquoise. Speaking

12:56

of taking things with you, the British

12:58

Museum is suing former

13:00

curator Peter Higgs for

13:02

allegedly stealing or damaging over 1,800 artifacts

13:05

from its collection and selling hundreds of them

13:08

on eBay. A judge ordered Higgs who ran

13:10

the museum's Greek and Roman antiquities department before

13:12

he was fired for stealing all the antiquities

13:14

to return any gems and jewelry that are

13:16

still in his possession said the curator of

13:19

the British Museum, but I learned from watching

13:21

you. A Massachusetts

13:24

state police robot described as a robot

13:26

dog was shot three times

13:29

and rendered inoperable during a standoff on

13:31

Cape Cod and just two days from

13:33

retirement. Take

13:37

this as a reminder that life can change in

13:39

an instant and don't take your robot dog for

13:41

granted. Go bring it out of walk to the

13:43

farmer's market and watch local children recoil in terror.

13:45

Give it a good hard kick just

13:48

to see the creepy way it regains its

13:50

balance. Cherish each special day

13:52

because you just never know when it will kill

13:54

you in your sleeve. After

13:57

the incident the robot was given a 21 gun salute and

13:59

submerged in a in a bowl of rice. And

14:02

finally, Punxsutawney Phil,

14:04

the groundhog, has fathered

14:07

two babies with his groundhog mate,

14:09

Phyllis, startling their unsuspecting human

14:11

caretakers. This was more or less inevitable after

14:13

the little guy emerged from his burrow and

14:15

predicted six more weeks of raw-dogging Phyllis. When

14:18

we... When

14:26

we come back, Fizzy Phillips is here. Hey,

14:30

don't go anywhere. There's more. Love it or leave it.

14:32

Coming up. You

15:00

could be less busy. You could be

15:02

less busy. That's

15:04

what therapy is for. Help figure out these problems. Put

15:06

down your phone for an hour during therapy. Yeah, you can't be on

15:08

your phone during therapy. They hate it. But

15:11

they can't stop you. It's your hour. Anyway,

15:14

the point is, everybody needs therapy. I

15:16

need it. John needs it. Anyone

15:18

else? No, that's

15:20

it. Just two of us need it. Just the two of us.

17:58

If you don't know. The one thing they

18:01

tell you when you start a podcast

18:03

is now what you have to do is

18:05

go beyond a bunch of other fucking people's

18:07

podcasts. So which one see like and

18:09

I said I don't listen to them. Wow

18:13

except for this one always. Been

18:16

a lengthy oh yeah we'd we. We like each

18:18

other and each other. I hurt other there was of

18:20

we. We spend time together and we're both a New

18:23

York And there was a moment we were on the

18:25

cusp of a regular friendship. Could have been friends.

18:27

And then it just didn't have as humans back. yeah

18:29

that's right and. I. Had a fuckin said air yeah

18:31

which are not happy about. Well. Let's

18:33

talk about that because. There. Was

18:36

an incredible piece in The New Yorker.

18:39

This months of at a garage sale

18:41

I. Need to serve with this. It

18:43

looks like one of us know.

18:47

Vaguely And so things are

18:49

both in some ways to

18:52

March maybe. Racists like looks

18:54

like yeah I don't out

18:56

a scene oh god yeah

18:58

not not. I'm just figured

19:00

automatic insert virus like. You just

19:02

like he does not look like

19:04

that. I don't look like know

19:07

what that is? It's weird. I would

19:09

you be a bit visit only a cut off image

19:11

as if you pull back. He's got puppet strings and

19:13

a sense. Got it Exactly that. so straight. I don't

19:15

think it's that, I don't think it's that has but

19:18

what? I'm. Not naive. Ah,

19:21

You. Know what I find? I don't think this looks

19:23

like you and the point I'm making a lot more

19:25

on our timing and unrelated point to this. Yeah which

19:27

is one thing I think when people like say like

19:29

oh I don't like myself in this photo there's no

19:31

real winning right? You can't say no no I think

19:34

you look good because in the like both you think

19:36

this is good and I think this is bad know

19:38

that exist looks like us no one thinks his looks

19:40

like a house I making like a separate point now

19:42

not it freezes with someone shows your photo in the

19:44

like idol like myself in this photo to say you

19:47

actually be look good as to say this is the

19:49

best they can do and what they get What. they

19:51

think is ugly but is that you don't like them as

19:53

to say don't like them in a photo sir i think

19:55

what you gotta say is this just doesn't look like you

19:57

which are now realizing is sending i had to chris about

20:00

his headshots. Do

20:04

they not look like him? Actually his headshot doesn't look like him.

20:06

Can we see it? We'll

20:09

put it up on the screen. Can we put it up on the screen? Oh

20:12

we don't have it yet. We don't have it yet. Still being touched up. Okay.

20:15

Now, here is what was

20:17

interesting about

20:19

this piece. Tell me. Now I

20:22

remember when you were first going

20:24

through the process. You were there. I

20:26

was there. We got stoned. And I

20:28

hung out. This is a piece about

20:31

how you guys are staying friends and

20:33

having a garage sale together selling off

20:35

the shared items

20:38

of your life. But I remember we

20:41

got dinner together and you were like

20:43

friends and we had pizza and I

20:45

was glad I was stoned. Me too.

20:48

Was there tension? No. No. But it felt

20:52

like – no there was

20:54

not tension. But it felt like it was such

20:56

a – I think that you were both –

20:59

there was not tension and there was not a

21:01

problem. But the assumption that other people would find

21:04

a problem led to the two of you

21:06

trying to prove there wasn't a problem which there

21:08

never was. You know what I'm saying? So

21:10

it was like two people who

21:13

were like – two people who didn't have a problem. Now

21:16

here's something. Remember we

21:19

got pizza. I remember that you

21:22

and I got stoned. We did. We did. Mark

21:24

doesn't get stoned but I remember we did. And

21:26

then we met him for pizza. That's right. So

21:29

maybe you and I were just really stoned. Yeah.

21:32

I think that was part of it. I do too.

21:34

Now – but also to say that – I want

21:36

to say this. I think that like

21:38

culturally we don't have a good way –

21:40

like look, Gwyneth Paltrow did the thing and

21:43

everybody made fun of her, right? Like consciously

21:45

uncoupling. And the truth

21:47

of the matter is like we all

21:49

live longer than we should, whatever. And

21:52

– and I

21:54

don't know. And not enough people are

21:56

saying that. You know what I mean? And like –

21:58

and relationships evolve. And just

22:00

like friendships do, just like business

22:03

relationships do. And honestly,

22:05

like if you are a

22:07

person who, especially if you

22:09

have kids with a person, it

22:13

is sort of your only objective

22:15

to raise non psychopaths or

22:17

like non sociopaths or people, or just

22:19

like maybe just people who can like,

22:21

I don't know, grow

22:23

up to like be on a dating app and

22:26

not be an asshole. So like,

22:28

and so, and so from that

22:30

point, I think that you have

22:32

to recognize that there are different

22:35

ways to separate and, and change

22:37

one part of your relationship

22:41

while maintaining another. And I

22:43

think that Mark and I worked really

22:46

hard for many, many years before we

22:48

like decided to separate

22:50

before we told people we were

22:53

separating to figure out how to

22:55

like move forward, adjacent,

22:58

but not necessarily together. And

23:00

whether or not that seems

23:03

to other people, like we are trying

23:05

to prove a point, like I

23:08

actually don't care, because all I

23:10

actually care about is myself and

23:12

my children and him and the

23:15

family that we committed ourselves to. So

23:18

sweet. We were both we were,

23:20

we were, we were stoned. I remember this. We were.

23:23

And, and I remember that you told

23:25

Mark that you told me that you were

23:28

separating or maybe getting divorced at that point.

23:30

And he said, you told Lovett, he's going

23:32

to tell everybody. And

23:35

I didn't. You had

23:37

a sponsor at your divorce garage sale. How did

23:39

those, how did you approach the sponsors? How do

23:42

you approach a Yerba Mate and say, hey, I'd

23:44

like your brand to be in on this. You

23:46

know, if you know it, it's hard out there.

23:48

You know what I mean? No. Well,

23:51

well, here's how it actually happened. I didn't have any say

23:53

in that. But my dear

23:55

friend Liz Wolf, who owns Cure Thrift shop

23:57

in New York, which is an incredible place

24:00

all 100% of

24:02

her proceeds go to research

24:04

for type 1 diabetes at her thrift

24:07

store and she had

24:09

and I met her because Amy Sedaris had

24:11

done some like pop-up sales with her and

24:13

stuff. What a cool life you have. No it's honestly.

24:17

Meeting people through Amy Sedaris. For

24:20

most people they meet people to get a

24:24

For you Amy Sedaris, a mere conduit.

24:27

She plays my mom on Girls by Bezel. It was a

24:30

dream. Incredible. But anyway

24:32

so Liz was like, was the

24:34

one who started was like let's just do

24:36

this like weird huge sale and

24:38

she had like been someone

24:40

from the Yerba, was it Yerba Mate?

24:43

It was something. It was a drink. Yerba

24:46

Mate. It was a drink and they like asked her

24:48

if they could come and then she asked us and Mark and

24:51

I were like I don't care are you gonna sell our stuff?

24:53

This divorce brought to you by Sky

24:55

vodka. Hey guess

24:58

what? Mark and I

25:00

split it half half these and I and

25:03

we donated a large percentage

25:05

to the National Network of Abortion

25:07

Funds that's $18,000. That's

25:10

right. $18,000 to the

25:12

National Network of Abortion Funds. And I just

25:14

want to close this. It's not what Olivia

25:16

Rodrigo is able to donate which is incredible but

25:18

I'm not Olivia Rodrigo. I'm just gonna say it.

25:21

Not with that attitude. No. That's right. Never.

25:23

One final sentence from this piece because I truly

25:26

loved it. You said once you live without something

25:28

for three and a half years and you open

25:30

up a box and look at it you're like

25:32

wait do I need that? Like my child's first

25:35

tennis racket? I mean she doesn't

25:37

play tennis anymore. She's not going to Wimbledon.

25:43

It's true. It's true. What

25:46

are we holding onto these things for? I don't know. No.

25:50

I don't know. We had to get rid of

25:52

so many things. She's

25:56

not mad about it. You

25:58

also have to give your kids. something to talk about in therapy

26:01

when they're 25. Yeah. You

26:04

know? Yeah. I could have gone to

26:06

Wimbledon. I don't know. I

26:08

love tennis. Tennis

26:10

anyone? Not for me. But

26:13

in the new season of Girls 5 Eva, your

26:15

character sings an amazing song called Is There a

26:17

Me or Is It You Just Guys? Is

26:19

There a Me or Is It You Just Guys?

26:23

A question I have asked myself so

26:25

many times since I was 14

26:27

years old. Well, is there a me or is

26:29

it me just guys? Done.

26:35

Yeah. There is a me. And

26:39

it's mostly guys. Now,

26:44

inspired by that song, we wanted to see if

26:46

you could definitively answer the question conservatives have been

26:48

asking for almost a decade. Wow. Which

26:51

is, what is a woman? What is a woman? What

26:56

is a woman? First question. Is

26:59

a woman someone who enjoys a long bath almost

27:01

every night exactly like our producer Kendra, which some

27:03

might say is in fact too much bathing for

27:05

normal human skin? Too

27:07

much take. Kendra, I

27:09

also enjoy a really long bath almost

27:12

every single night. In fact, I was

27:14

staying for free with my best

27:17

friend since I was five years old, Emily, here in

27:19

Los Angeles. And then I moved to a hotel with

27:21

a bath because my bathing

27:23

was suffering at her house. I

27:27

don't think you need it to say for free. There's

27:39

a possibility that someone could charge you. Yeah, no,

27:41

for sure. But I think if you say I'm,

27:44

no, absolutely a hundred percent. But I do think if

27:46

you're saying I'm staying with a friend, the

27:49

lack of a third charge, you should

27:51

cry. I'm just thinking about it.

27:53

It's not nothing wrong with thinking. I'm just thinking out loud. I'm just

27:55

thinking out loud. I was picking up dinners

27:57

and stuff. You know what I mean? No, for

27:59

sure. I'm not saying you're a good house guy.

28:02

That's the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it

28:04

wasn't, I don't turn off the lights. And that's

28:06

like an issue. I'm not great

28:08

at it. I leave cabinet doors open. I have ADHD. You

28:11

know what I mean? No, it's hard to close them.

28:13

Yeah. It's hard to close them. Yeah, I'm one

28:15

of those. Yeah. Yeah. So

28:18

anyway, yes, Babs, I'm a woman. Is a woman

28:20

a human who believes in horoscopes? Mostly.

28:26

Yeah. Sure. Do

28:30

you think that... Something. Something.

28:33

Well, here's the problem I have. What do you

28:35

have? I know... Talk to me, John. The

28:38

problem I have is every time someone

28:40

says, every time I say, oh, horoscopes are silly,

28:42

then someone says, what are you? And then I

28:44

say, I'm a Leo. And they say, oh... Of

28:46

course you are. I

28:49

mean, literally, have you ever met more of

28:51

a fucking Leo? What?

28:53

This is the problem. When

28:56

I say I'm a cancer, and then I'm like,

28:58

but Leo rising, people are like, now it all

29:01

makes sense. So

29:03

interesting. I don't

29:05

know. Is the tide affected by the moon?

29:08

Yes. It's all water. The tide

29:11

is affected by the moon. But we're like mostly

29:13

fucking water and we're affected by the moon.

29:15

I'm sorry. We just saw the planets do

29:17

a thing. It happens. I don't know. Is

29:19

that how it got... That's what it's doing. It's the tides.

29:22

Honey. Honey,

29:24

I bleed on a full moon. I

29:27

ovulate on a new moon every

29:29

fucking month since I was 12.

29:34

I had to think. I had to think. I

29:36

couldn't remember. But that's it. Is

29:39

a woman a being who is looking forward

29:41

to Beyoncé's new album, Cowboy Carter? Are you

29:43

kidding me? Yes. Also,

29:46

everyone who isn't. Producer

29:48

Kendra today was... I

29:52

came in and I said hello and she did

29:54

not clock it at all. And I said, hey,

29:56

how are you? Nothing. And then

29:58

I startled her and then she took out her airplane. She's

30:00

like, I'm listening to the album.

30:02

I was like, but it's not out yet. She's like,

30:04

it's out in Australia. I have a VPN. Oh. Is

30:17

a woman an animal who feels like she's

30:19

ready to move from body positivity to body

30:21

neutrality? I'm

30:24

so fucking over it. Give

30:30

me fucking Ozumpik. I

30:32

don't care. I didn't create

30:34

the fucking problem. No. We all live with

30:37

it. We're not changing it. Everyone

30:39

go fuck themselves. Sorry.

30:42

All these motherfuckers have been on HGH

30:44

forever. I never saw one fucking Time

30:47

Magazine cover about it. I'm sorry. They

30:49

were on HGH? No, the men. The men were

30:51

on HGH. Is that how they

30:54

become superheroes? That's how all the fucking movie stars

30:56

have been so fit after age 40. What

30:58

do you think has happened? They're

31:01

on drugs. And then all of a sudden

31:03

Ozumpik comes along, and people are like,

31:05

oh, that's a fucking big deal. We

31:07

can't have that? What

31:09

in God's name do you think has

31:11

been happening? It's all over. Oh, God,

31:14

people hate women so much. It's

31:16

like, we didn't create this system

31:18

that we live in. And anyone

31:20

who has anyone in their family

31:22

who deals with obesity or who

31:24

has been struggled or had morbid

31:27

obesity themselves knows that you are

31:29

treated differently, that your job prospects

31:31

are different, that the entire culture

31:33

is built around shaming

31:35

and being horrible, especially to

31:37

women who are overweight. So

31:39

I don't give a

31:41

fuck about body pause or body neutrality.

31:44

Let people just fucking live. But we

31:46

can't do that. So now there's

31:48

a miracle drug. These are miracle drugs that

31:50

come in. And let people fucking

31:53

have it without shame. I'm just

31:55

sorry. I'm so sick of it because I'm

31:57

so fucking sick of it all. A

32:00

woman is a person who has fed the

32:03

fuck off. I will just answer that and

32:05

that is like, I'm done with

32:07

it. I'm

32:09

on my jar but it's hard to get because the diabetics keep taking it.

32:16

And it's like... So

32:22

I kind of have to like spread out

32:24

my doses because these sugar weenies can't... Need

32:30

it. Medically. I've

32:33

had a moment. I've had a day. I've had

32:35

a week. It's been a long time here in

32:37

Los Angeles these past nine days. It's

32:42

fine. Everything's great. Things are gonna be fine. Don't worry about

32:44

it. You and I can talk about it later. Can't

32:46

wait. Busy

32:49

Phillips everybody. Girls by Viva season

32:51

three is out now on Netflix.

32:53

Up next, Will Rollins is here.

32:57

And we're back. My

33:01

next guest is running for Congress for a second time, which is funny because

33:03

if I ran two times I would die. Please

33:06

welcome to the stage Will Rollins. Hi.

33:12

Good to see you again. Thanks for being here. Thank

33:15

you for having me. Now, Will.

33:17

Welcome back. Thank you. You're

33:20

running once again to represent the 41st District?

33:23

Yes. This includes Palm Springs.

33:26

Are you the most optimistic gay man in California? I

33:30

can think of a few others. Yeah. There's a

33:32

lot of positive gays around. Prosecuted

33:36

the Beverly Hills insurrectionist Gina Bissignano for her

33:39

crimes on January 6th during which she wore

33:41

Louis Vuitton sweater and Chanel boots. Was

33:43

it hard to throw the book at someone so cool? Well,

33:48

she also called for people

33:51

to bring in their gas masks and weapons and then stood in

33:53

the hallway as the Capitol Police Officer was crushed in a door

33:55

by her fellow riders. So, no. Wasn't

34:00

hard to throw the book and are you gonna? Do.

34:06

Hampshire Something about Magar grievances

34:08

because this is somebody who

34:10

has a lot and lies

34:12

and decides. That. They

34:15

are so aggrieved and so I'm.

34:18

Ah, Are inspired by these these

34:20

by Trump's Court of. You.

34:22

Know call to may have called saw

34:24

you know you're at losing something. The

34:26

country are losing your country that she's

34:28

through life away. Ah, To

34:30

do to be part of this sort of violent acts.

34:33

What? Did you take away from the experience of

34:35

prosecuting her? Yeah. I mean that

34:37

in many ways led me here today.

34:39

I mean, I I'm from originally ran

34:41

for Congress by kind of impulsively quitting

34:43

my job and decided to run in

34:45

what was banned. Or Trump plus

34:48

seven see because while those of Us

34:50

federal law enforcement were responding to be attacked.

34:52

My. Opponent Ten Calvert was voting

34:54

to decertify the election, voting against

34:57

a committee to even investigate the

34:59

attack, and then final straw for

35:01

me. called for dropping charges and.

35:04

You. Know, I love the the jokes you

35:06

had. opened a segment because there are a

35:08

lot of things about running for Congress that

35:10

absolutely suck. I'm just to be blunt with

35:12

the crowd by if you don't have people

35:14

willing to step up to the plate and

35:16

take out these people who are willing to

35:18

throw away our entire republics. Ah,

35:21

We're going to be in a tough spot and that's

35:23

why I'm I'm really proud to be back in this

35:25

and that's why I think the American people are gonna

35:27

return Democrats the majority and twenty twenty four in the

35:29

house. Another

35:33

supreme court's eye is gearing up to hear

35:35

of a case of Fisher v United States.

35:37

That is a case they can potentially up

35:40

and over three hundred January six convictions at

35:42

a sense I do think that would give

35:44

these insurrections didn't have time to get in

35:46

shape for the Twenty Twenty Five insurrection. While

35:50

other, I'm going to make sure that I'm

35:52

there to certify the next election because we

35:54

need a Congress that's willing to do it.

35:57

I mean, the reality is, ah, no matter

35:59

what, how. The November. Donald.

36:01

Trump is gonna declare victory and you

36:03

need to have members of the United

36:05

States House that are going to certify

36:08

the true results of that election whenever

36:10

they may be an damn. You.

36:12

Know we can have these people back out

36:14

there training to get in shape for another

36:16

insurrection, and we can have a nominee. There

36:18

should not be a nominee of one of

36:21

our two major political parties. Who. Is

36:23

encouraging political violence in the United States

36:25

that should not be up for dispute.

36:27

Yeah. And yet here we are

36:30

now. if sheds were horses ssssss,

36:32

I don't know them. It's. Yeah

36:38

for sure. Yeah to us.

36:40

Now Now let's not about

36:42

your district. Ah, This.

36:44

Is a swing a district? A

36:47

true swing. Districts. And.

36:49

A lot of smears do live access

36:51

and like and not swinger novices people

36:53

that have been doing for a long

36:56

time since or Palm Springs Gays these

36:58

are these are people that be they

37:00

as they. They. Have.

37:03

A records going back a long time.

37:08

Swing District Ah how I'm getting

37:10

back to it's ah, what does

37:12

it like trying to persuade I

37:14

in a in a district where

37:16

there are for the just genuinely

37:18

but like a moderate place where

37:20

ah somehow even in this environment.

37:22

Not. To this audiences I hot how could you

37:25

be. Healthy. How how is this?

37:27

A moment for ambivalence? Yeah I

37:29

mean and and and so just for

37:31

the record you know those swingers are

37:33

big part of the reason is now

37:35

democratic majority electorate. Our recent give our

37:37

on who they are going to both

37:40

a very little everywhere else access so

37:42

it is a top pick up opportunity

37:44

for the party Has the first time

37:46

calvert ever face. The

37:50

man's running for Congress to

37:52

show some fucking recess a

37:55

prosecutor. Show

37:57

some respect Susan the Koran. I'm

38:00

so disappointed. But it is split. It's

38:02

split 50-50. And

38:04

the truth is that in this district, I

38:06

really do think we can win some moderate

38:09

Republicans. I think there is a difference between

38:11

Republicans who are part of the regular electorate

38:14

and MAGA. And we even saw that in

38:16

some of the primary results with the

38:18

percent that Nikki Haley was polling, for example.

38:21

And what I've noticed, I think, in my district,

38:23

when you have a moderate electorate, a purple district,

38:25

where you've got folks who are angry at Washington,

38:27

DC, is there are a lot of things that

38:29

unite us across party lines. If you just look

38:31

at the anger towards Congress, and it's dysfunction right

38:34

now, right? We may not have Mike Johnson as

38:36

Speaker of the House much longer because of the

38:38

recent motion from Marjorie Taylor Greene.

38:41

But I think what I've seen people in

38:43

both parties really galvanize around is the

38:45

idea that Congress should be working for

38:47

you. It's been working for

38:49

the members, people like Calvert, who's

38:51

seen his net worth go up by $20 million

38:53

since he was first elected in 92, for

38:56

way too long. And I used to say, I'm probably

38:59

one of the only Democrats in the entire United

39:01

States who can run an attack

39:03

ad against his Republican opponent, featuring

39:06

a Fox News clip talking about

39:08

the Republicans' corruption. And

39:10

so there are a lot of Republican voters

39:13

in my district who think that all members

39:15

of Congress should be banned from trading stocks,

39:17

for example, that there should

39:19

be a lifetime ban on lobbying by

39:21

former members of Congress, and

39:24

that we should overturn Citizens United and get money

39:26

out of politics all together.

39:30

When Democrats lost the House, and it

39:33

wasn't because of

39:38

swing districts throughout the middle of

39:41

the country, it actually was because of some failures

39:44

to galvanize people in California and

39:46

in New York. And one of

39:48

the reasons was that in

39:51

California and New York, the issue of

39:53

abortion didn't feel as salient, that there were

39:55

places where abortion was really on the line

39:57

at the state level, and people really turned

39:59

out. saw that just this week in Alabama. But

40:04

now that we are seeing so

40:07

much debate over a national abortion ban, now

40:09

Trump is on the precipice of coming out

40:11

for a specific national abortion ban, do

40:14

you find that that is motivating

40:16

some of these moderate, even Republican

40:18

women especially, but Republican voters? 100%.

40:21

I mean, my grandmother, who was a

40:23

lifelong Republican, who met my grandfather in

40:26

World War II serving in the US

40:28

military, came back to Southern California, started

40:30

a small business that makes parts for

40:32

fighter jets, still operates to this day.

40:34

Somebody who, despite being a lifelong Republican,

40:36

was also a fan of Gloria Steinem,

40:38

who also believed that the government had

40:41

no place telling women what they could

40:43

and could not do with their bodies.

40:45

There are a lot of people like

40:47

that out there in the regular electorate,

40:49

even majorities of Republicans. So I think

40:51

what we have to do, for those

40:53

of us running in California and New York

40:55

this cycle, is make sure that everybody here

40:58

and everybody in our districts knows that

41:00

a federal ban means it's illegal in

41:02

California. We have to convey that message

41:04

to the electorate and it is up

41:07

to us to ensure that the next

41:09

Congress passes the Women's Health Protection Act

41:11

and restores Roe versus Wade as the

41:13

law of the land in this country.

41:21

Now, as you mentioned,

41:23

you're running against Republican Congressman Ken

41:25

Calvert this fall, a

41:27

man who has been named to multiple most corrupt

41:29

politician lists. I do

41:31

think he combines a really interesting form of

41:36

old school, get this guy

41:38

the fuck out of here, and new school, get this guy

41:40

the fuck out of here. It's like he's bringing together the

41:42

old school corruption plus

41:48

the Embrasive Magga. It's a really

41:50

interesting combination. It must be fascinating.

41:52

We're going

41:54

to play a segment we're calling Toxic

41:56

Kenergie because

41:58

of that toxic mix. I'm gonna have

42:00

you blind rank five of

42:03

Ken Calvert's worst wrongdoings. You will not know the

42:05

scandal. I will say next. Will it be worse

42:07

than the one I just said? Will it be

42:09

slightly less worse? This is gonna be hard because

42:11

he's done a

42:13

bunch of terrible shit. So, uh,

42:16

uh, let's, let's get to

42:18

it. Uh, first scandal. I don't want

42:21

you to see these cards. All right.

42:23

Not that you cheat. The man's like, was

42:25

it the man was a Justice Department official.

42:28

All right. First, first blind rank scandal. Bought

42:30

land in Riverside County near a freeway he

42:32

e-marked congressional funding for, then flipped the land

42:34

for a profit in full view of the

42:37

public and stayed in office. Um,

42:40

where, that you can rank it from what are we

42:42

doing? Five of these? One to five. I'm gonna say

42:44

that's, I'm gonna say that's number one. Number one. You

42:46

say that's the worst one. Yeah. All right. Okay.

42:53

Uh, let's keep going. Signed in

42:56

amicus breaks to overturn Roe v.

42:58

Wade. I'm gonna say that's number

43:00

one. Okay.

43:06

Um, you know what? Uh, sometimes

43:08

you gotta change the rule. That's what

43:10

Congress does. Changes rule. Was

43:13

one of the 139 house Republicans devoted against

43:16

certifying the results of the 2020 presidential

43:19

election following January 6th. Number one

43:21

again. Number one again. Man. Repeatedly

43:24

voted against having background checks for gun purchases.

43:27

Number one. Voted against a bill

43:29

that would bar, uh, child sexual

43:31

abusers from being able to sue

43:33

doctors who provide child incest victims

43:35

with abortion services. Is there anything

43:37

higher than number one? Jesus.

43:46

Hey, how'd you lose to this guy? I

43:50

wake up every morning asking myself that

43:53

question. Um, but it does

43:55

45:31

web God

45:34

she should have read that contract Joining

45:38

us now the last time he was

45:40

here He played Jeff Goldblum working tirelessly alongside

45:42

the FDA to stop disgusting tick-tock food trends

45:44

So we couldn't be happier. He agreed to

45:46

come back at all. Please welcome to the

45:49

stage on Marco Sorezi Hi,

45:56

you're doing good to see you. Oh here. Yeah Uh-oh.

46:01

Thankfully, I become as myself this time. That

46:03

was a, I'm honored. As

46:06

not a character. Or

46:08

a person. Is this

46:10

you? Yes. Oh yes. No,

46:13

I... What? Oh no. That's

46:16

it. That's it. What if in ways that are

46:18

subtle, in ways you don't totally feel, you slowly

46:22

become more like Jeff Goldblum and that now

46:24

it doesn't seem like it, but that's what

46:26

you sound like all the time. Have

46:29

you thought about that? Mmm. Oh

46:31

no. I, no,

46:33

I definitely took some of it because I think I'm

46:36

Jewish, Jeff Goldblum is Jewish, and

46:39

I think what he did is

46:41

he took kind of the stammering of

46:43

Judaism and he added a little glide

46:46

in between. Yeah. So,

46:49

you know, if you do this, it's

46:51

Woody Allen. But

46:54

then if you add a little

46:56

glide, then, then, then... And

46:58

that's... It's

47:01

an incredible disstubble. It's interesting.

47:04

It's interesting. So I did take that. That's

47:07

cool. Now,

47:10

I've been called a musical theater lover by people

47:12

before, but that was usually a euphemism. But

47:16

you actually are one. I am. Why

47:22

do you think that is? Oh,

47:26

I just, I

47:28

have feelings and they have to be expressed

47:31

loudly and musical theater gives you

47:33

that opportunity. I feel like I

47:35

have both,

47:39

I have both signs in me, which is a part

47:42

of me dies when you go from dialogue

47:45

to song. It's hard. It's

47:48

a tricky transition. It's hard. It's

47:51

hard. When I

47:53

was working in politics, when

47:55

you worked in the White House, calm down.

48:00

Where you're worth. even though my.

48:04

They are.

48:06

It's. That. Then

48:08

the President has a box at the Kennedy Center.

48:11

This is the President's box for the present as

48:13

a good everything. And.

48:15

One thing, the present doesn't go to his wicket.

48:18

People might have ceded another night, but wicked going

48:20

to be there for a wise artist. Good every

48:22

showing. Magic is A President goes like oh my

48:24

God on the fucking Wizard. Smile,

48:27

smile, and Chrysalis? Yeah, okay,

48:30

who? Okay, you know what I mean

48:32

though. They of the pie, look at the wizard and

48:34

they've gone on on that guy. Was.

48:36

Eating Everybody feels like the wizard isn't a

48:38

wide resonate so much. we all sometimes feel

48:40

like we're behind the curtain, pretended to be

48:42

more powerful than we are. but actually we're

48:45

all wizards behind a curtain. As youth, you

48:47

see jaws and you relate to the shark.

48:49

Is that how you view? I relate to

48:51

also bygone, the Rebel. Oh really? yeah, that's

48:53

cool. But

48:56

so I you can go and you can cite

48:58

ought to try to get acts to a lot

49:01

of people always want to go use that those

49:03

seats. Yeah so I got I got tickets. The

49:05

Wicked. In a President's box? Brought.

49:07

My mother. And we saw Wicked. The

49:10

touring shown as in D C and I

49:12

have the same reaction in a musical. They're

49:14

talking, They're talking about. Our.

49:16

Saying and and then of course. But

49:19

I also have the other part of

49:21

me, the saggy part and. Dot

49:24

to the.to Defying Gravity and I

49:26

mean I am just saw the

49:28

like I must I come on,

49:31

Defying Gravity works on me every

49:33

time my tits out Things that

49:35

I am some kind of Defying

49:37

Gravity scientists that is Fleming, the

49:40

deaths of all recorded coffee, analyzing

49:42

the rest. Ah, there's now the

49:44

three. The three, the three schools.

49:46

of wrists you know there's three there's

49:49

only three different like had even come

49:51

close to doing it but it's the

49:53

classic it's the classic ah edina which

49:55

is ah center is what ah embassy

49:58

there's a there's it's over And

50:00

the third one is truly impossible

50:03

for anyone except one of these people.

50:06

But the point being... I'd like to hear you try it. I

50:10

can't do it. It's your original key. Why

50:16

are you making me do this? My

50:19

show, no, I'm strong and in charge. Now,

50:24

so anyway, Defying Gravity happens, I'm sobbing,

50:26

I'm on my feet applauding, and then

50:28

I realize there's obviously more than one

50:30

fancy box up there, and I look

50:33

to my right and former Senate Majority

50:35

Leader Harry Reid is

50:37

fully asleep. At

50:41

the time, the Senate Majority Leader, he was old

50:43

and tired. Sure.

50:45

Asleep. Ouch. That's...

50:49

I wish I had a seat. You're looking

50:51

at me like I should... I

50:53

wish I'd been there and taken

50:55

that box. What's

50:58

your favorite musical? It's

51:00

not gonna get any resonance. It's Falsettos

51:03

by... Really? My God,

51:05

really? Kendra, of course. Falsettos

51:07

by William Finn. I

51:09

don't know it. That's amazing. No, it's amazing.

51:12

But like that's... Let me tell you, that guy, Harry

51:14

Reid, he's not going to Falsettos. He'd be shocked. He'd

51:17

be... It's a

51:19

very... It's a Jewish

51:21

piece about screwed up families and

51:24

a guy, he leaves his wife for his male

51:26

lover but he wants them all to have a

51:28

happy family. And then AIDS. And

51:30

they sing during this. I mean, that's

51:33

Act Two. It's just,

51:35

well, yeah. And they're singing.

51:38

Yeah. Wow. Yeah,

51:41

I mean, in a way it's like Rent but

51:43

everyone's Jewish and in their 40s. My

51:50

favorite musical of all time. Wow.

51:54

Hey, hey. What if, you know,

51:56

Rent, sure. What if it

51:58

was a little more anxious than Modlin? Sure.

52:01

Have I got a show for you? What

52:04

do you think about stunt casting in musicals where they

52:06

bring in a big star? What

52:08

do you think about it? What do you think

52:11

about Eddie Renbain on Broadway? I

52:13

think he'll do good in

52:15

that role because if you don't have to sing,

52:18

that's fine. But here's

52:20

my thing. Nine is another musical, one of

52:22

my favorites. Daniel Day-Lewis could

52:24

literally become Abraham Lincoln. Daniel

52:26

Day-Lewis could literally become Christy

52:29

Brown on my left foot. You know what he couldn't do? Sing.

52:33

Not one lick. This is the guy who

52:35

could portray anything but they put him in

52:37

nine and they had to lower the key.

52:40

So I say no, you can do

52:42

stunt casting if it doesn't involve intensive

52:44

singing. But if you do, then

52:46

it's going to be bad. Hey, didn't

52:49

Daniel Day-Lewis get away with murder

52:51

by becoming people that don't exist

52:53

on video? It's like,

52:55

oh, wow, yeah, he became Bill the Butcher, I

52:57

guess. He became Abraham

53:00

Lincoln. Sure. Sure.

53:02

Sure. Says who? For

53:05

all we know, he was terrible. Oh,

53:08

you mean, oh, I see what you're saying.

53:10

Because he did that voice. For Lincoln, that

53:13

wasn't a good depression. No, it was good.

53:15

He did the high. That's actually how Lincoln

53:17

actually sounded. But I feel like

53:19

I also read an Atlantic article that said

53:21

actually Lincoln's voice was kind of high. And

53:24

did Daniel Day-Lewis just read the same article as me? Is that the work

53:26

we're talking about? This is what I don't know. And

53:28

I think it's fine and not the thing you're here to talk about. No,

53:32

not at all. What

53:37

are you here to talk about? Musicals.

53:39

Yeah, just musicals. Check

53:46

the Cheesecake Back Dream. It's

53:49

been a long time since I've been there. I think

53:51

it's a shame. In high school, I'd go. In high

53:54

school? Yeah. Not

53:56

since. No, there's not that many in New York, I don't

53:58

think. No, there aren't. problem. Yeah

54:01

that's the number one problem in New

54:03

York City. Yeah. It goes Cheesecake Factory,

54:05

the guy who's just punching women looking

54:07

at their phone. Cheesecake

54:10

Factory again because it needs

54:12

to be brought back up.

54:15

Right and then the subway

54:17

shoving. Now hey what's going on

54:19

people punching women in New York? Why is that? Not while I'm

54:21

in LA. You

54:31

know what I think I think what was

54:33

interesting in the tone there was so fascinating

54:35

it was like it was it was it

54:37

was interesting and I think we all really had a good time.

54:41

Now I'm gonna run down some of Broadway's most beloved

54:43

shows you have to say in reality

54:46

whether or not they suck shit. Okay.

54:48

Fan of the opera. Suck

54:51

shit man. Suck shit. I...

54:54

Oh my

54:56

god the reaction. Here's the thing

54:58

that I didn't know. I didn't

55:00

realize how murderous the Phantom was.

55:03

Yeah. Yeah. Well they you have

55:05

this in the in like before you before

55:07

you know the story you're like oh the

55:09

Phantom of the Opera he's got something wrong

55:11

with his punum and so

55:14

he's sort of a misbegot

55:17

a sad figure but falls in love with

55:19

somebody like oh no no he's a murderer.

55:21

Yeah. He's a villain.

55:23

He's definitely a villain but he's kind

55:26

of sexy in its own way. Right.

55:29

Cats. Trash. Trash.

55:32

Do you have a Hanson? I

55:36

think it's I think it's good but then when that

55:38

movie came out people were like well

55:40

he's kind of problematic he lied about

55:42

this whole thing. What's that's the

55:44

whole point of the musical? That's the whole point of the

55:46

musical but when people saw it and and they didn't have

55:48

the magic of the lights and they just saw it they

55:50

were like that's kind of fucked up. Well I

55:53

really thought it was beautiful and I that was another

55:55

one. You like the Phantom so what your opinion doesn't

55:57

matter at all. You like the wizard

55:59

you like Phantom

56:01

and you're like, you're a handsome. Yeah. I

56:04

like sweet big songs and

56:07

none of what you like. It's

56:09

too... Little Jewish songs at a dining

56:11

table about psychology.

56:13

Yeah, people singing about divorce. That

56:16

sucks. That's not what you sing about.

56:18

This is America. We don't sing about divorce. We sing

56:21

about witches

56:23

now. But

56:25

I do... Anyway. Hamilton.

56:29

It's a mix for

56:31

me. Well,

56:34

so... Oh, really? This audience

56:36

doesn't... Listen, I got

56:39

some problems with Hamilton. I

56:41

don't think we need to be

56:43

glorifying the founding fathers. We

56:45

don't need to be glorifying these people at

56:48

all. They were very problematic.

56:50

And so the idea of the hero

56:52

worship of the American myth, I

56:55

don't think we need to be doing it. And I

56:57

think you have a musical that, what, mentioned slavery, what,

56:59

for two lines? That's

57:01

like a musical about, you know, a Hitler that

57:03

mostly was about his painting. It

57:06

doesn't make any sense. Sorry.

57:10

You asked! This was the game? No, I'm thinking

57:12

about it. I love Hamilton. I think it perfectly

57:14

captures the musical nature of our country. No,

57:17

I... Well... Well...

57:24

So what I was thinking about is actually what I was really trying

57:26

to formulate was my own opinion, absent the noise of so many interlocking

57:28

opinions of

57:34

opinions of opinions that Hamilton has generated over the since has

57:36

come out. You know what I mean? That

57:39

like I have trouble even now separating

57:41

my opinion of Hamilton as I saw

57:43

it, as it existed from years of

57:45

people loving it, people praising it, then

57:48

people disliking the praisers, then from that turning it to

57:50

a... 100% agree. ...conterrarian. No, but I'm not denigrating or...

57:53

And I like it in that sense. I like it

57:55

as a musical piece. It's

57:57

entertaining. Listen, the last... last

58:00

moment, I didn't see it live, I can't

58:02

afford those tickets, but the last moment where

58:04

she looks out and she sees the musical

58:06

of his life and she goes, I

58:09

cried, I cried just like you watching a witch

58:11

flying in the sky. Now

58:16

it's time for a game we're calling, Merrily We

58:18

Troll Along. God

58:21

damn it. That's the kind of

58:23

stunt casting I can approve. That's

58:26

great, that's great. I'll

58:28

describe a musical to you and you'll tell us

58:30

if it's a real musical. True

58:32

or false, okay? True or false,

58:35

is this a real musical? Suffs, a Broadway musical about

58:37

the suffragettes fighting to win the vote in the early

58:39

20th century, a musical

58:41

which counts Hillary Clinton and Nobel Peace

58:43

Prize winner Malala among its producers. True.

58:46

That is true. People gasp.

58:48

They gasp, they gasp. Suffs,

58:52

Earth Girls Are Easy, the titular musical

58:55

based on the horny 80s alien comedy

58:57

starring Jeff Goldbrum and Gina Davis featuring

58:59

a young Jim Carrey set to premiere

59:01

at Seattle's Fifth Avenue Theater this August.

59:03

Absolutely false. False, you got it. While

59:06

it never visually made it to the Big White

59:08

Way, the Evil Dead musical based on the blood-soaked

59:10

Sam Raimi horror flick did enjoy an off-Broadway run

59:12

at Manhattan's New World Stages which featured a splash

59:14

zone in the first two rows for which attendees

59:16

were given rain ponchos. 100% true. It

59:19

is true. And if you're in

59:21

California next month you can see it at the Maverick Theater in

59:23

Fullerton. The

59:26

notebook musical based on the 2004 Ryan Gosling

59:28

and Rachel McAdams romantic genre is on Broadway

59:30

right now and is earned mixed reviews including

59:32

a New York Times pan titled The Notebook

59:35

Review, A Musical Tear Jerker or Just All

59:37

Wet? That is true. Just

59:40

All Wet, is that me watching The Notebook? Oh

59:46

no, I can't make jokes. Also

59:51

the characters are played by actors of different

59:53

races of stage. That's

59:56

great. As

1:00:01

parodied on 30 Rock, the missing piece of musical...

1:00:03

Is one of them green like alphabets on point

1:00:05

later in the... If

1:00:08

so, you know what, I'm smiling. I

1:00:11

like musicals where people are caught like green.

1:00:14

Yeah, yeah. Because then you're like, now we're

1:00:16

at a show. A lot of makeup. Yeah. A

1:00:18

lot of quick change. Oh, how'd they put that

1:00:20

on? You know? Then

1:00:23

you're having a good time. Because it's not a movie.

1:00:25

There's no pausing. You're into everything

1:00:27

but the plot. That's

1:00:31

why I like cats. It's

1:00:33

just a jellicle moon. You don't have to be such an asshole

1:00:36

about it. Miracle

1:00:39

on the Hudson, the musical based on

1:00:41

pilot Sully Sullenberger's emergency river landing debuted

1:00:43

in January, Washington, D.C.'s Arena Stage, the

1:00:45

same theater where Dear Evan Hanson premiered

1:00:47

before it went to Broadway. Oh, boy.

1:00:50

I gotta say false. That sounds terrible. It is

1:00:52

false. It is false. So

1:00:55

Matthew Broderick did a parody, the did parody idea on Jimmy

1:00:57

Kimmel with a number called Hudson We Have

1:00:59

a Problem. Maybe

1:01:03

they should make it now. Beginning

1:01:05

its off-Broadway run at Theater 80 in

1:01:08

June of 2011, Silence, the musical, reimagines

1:01:10

the 1990 Jonathan Demme thriller,

1:01:12

Silence of the Lambs, for the stage.

1:01:15

True. True. And

1:01:17

here is a clip of a song from the production titled

1:01:19

Put the Fucking Lotion in the Basket. I

1:01:22

wonder if there's anything I

1:01:24

feel a little bit of

1:01:26

this yet? The

1:01:30

fucking ocean is so

1:01:32

fast in the Basket. No,

1:01:35

thank you. Here's

1:01:37

a moment where I go, oh, yeah, I get

1:01:39

why people hate musical theater. I could see it

1:01:41

so quickly. Yeah.

1:01:47

That part I watched, because I auditioned for that part as well. You

1:01:51

don't want that part. It ruins the rest of your career. You

1:01:54

know, that guy, he took, you remember, it

1:01:56

wasn't until he showed up in heat. You're like, oh, my God, he's in

1:01:58

heat. Not that

1:02:01

guy, the guy from The Thing. He

1:02:03

has a name. Everybody cool it. And

1:02:05

finally, are you having fun? I'm having a

1:02:07

blast. Okay. I mean, I'm

1:02:09

100% right so far, right? Yeah, you're crushing

1:02:12

it. I'm crushing it. You're crushing it. I

1:02:14

know. You really know about musicals. Thank

1:02:16

you. And finally, for the love of

1:02:18

the glove, a Michael Jackson

1:02:20

musical told from the perspective of Jackson's signature

1:02:23

white glove, who is an alien using the

1:02:25

Jackson 5 to take over the planet, opened

1:02:27

in LA right before the pandemic at the

1:02:29

Carl Sagan and Androian Theater. That

1:02:32

is false. That's false. Oh

1:02:34

my God. No way. No. It's

1:02:38

true. You got it. You

1:02:40

know what? You were so cocky. You're so cocky.

1:02:43

You knew the answers. You know, because

1:02:45

there's another, there's another Michael Jackson musical

1:02:47

on Broadway right

1:02:52

now. It's made it so tricky. Kendra.

1:02:54

It's the way, the way Hamilton avoids ever

1:02:56

really talking about slavery. The Michael Jackson musical

1:02:59

doesn't touch once the allegations against him at

1:03:01

all. Which had to do

1:03:03

with touching a sub bundle of times. Yeah.

1:03:06

I mean, frankly, that glove probably knows more than anyone else.

1:03:11

Well, that's an unfortunate place to leave it. But

entered for a chance to win 150 lucky

pre-orders that was the budget We're

1:05:54

a podcast company you know I don't

1:05:56

know how many people are gonna pre-order I think you're

1:05:58

pretty good So

1:06:02

get in there. Look,

1:06:06

here's the thing. I personally couldn't believe it when I

1:06:09

saw that it didn't get you a water bottle. But

1:06:11

merely... Merely

1:06:13

the chance. But

1:06:17

please, go to crooked.com/books and

1:06:40

for a segment we're calling Just

1:06:42

Browsing. Busy and Will, come on out.

1:06:46

Sorry. Joining

1:06:51

John Marko. Good to see you

1:06:53

both again. Hi. And

1:06:56

now for a segment we're calling Just Browsing. Here's

1:06:59

how it works. We each have 60 seconds to

1:07:01

beg the audience to delete one extremely embarrassing thing

1:07:03

off our browser history when we die. Booy. Is

1:07:07

there a wheel? Yeah. I

1:07:09

always ask, there's a stupid question. Why is it the wheel?

1:07:13

That's how we do it. Oh,

1:07:16

yes. How

1:07:22

to get old photos off of

1:07:24

Google image. Oh. How

1:07:29

do I get old photos of my face

1:07:32

off of Google images? Google

1:07:36

images. How do I get old

1:07:38

face off? Too

1:07:40

many pictures, old face. Hot

1:07:45

hair transplant, lost weight. Older

1:07:51

but hotter. Question

1:07:53

mark. Took

1:07:56

Monjaro because of society. We

1:08:01

can't help it! We didn't bug it! Thank

1:08:05

you. Thank

1:08:08

you. Alright,

1:08:13

that was something. Let's spin it again. It's

1:08:20

me! It's me! Here's

1:08:23

what we're going to delete. I

1:08:26

sometimes have to Google words that I don't know

1:08:28

how to spell, and I don't

1:08:30

know how to spell them so

1:08:32

poorly, that it doesn't even autocorrect.

1:08:37

For a while, masturbate was one of them.

1:08:41

Sometimes still, restaurants

1:08:44

is... I

1:08:48

am trying to think of another word that

1:08:50

I had earlier that I was like, what

1:08:53

is it? Oh, misogyny! But

1:08:56

now I just think miso soup. Oh,

1:08:59

interesting. Yeah, that's interesting. Because you think there's

1:09:01

going to be a why, but... You think

1:09:03

there's going to be a fucking why! Yeah.

1:09:06

There is a why. There is a why. It's

1:09:08

not where you think it's going to be miso soup,

1:09:10

you're good. Isn't

1:09:13

it weird that it's not

1:09:15

restaurateur, but restaurateur or whatever?

1:09:18

That's stupid. Exactly. And

1:09:21

also, by the way, I'm

1:09:23

not wrong. For

1:09:27

not knowing how to spell. No. Great.

1:09:32

Yeah. I think the segments were... I mean, I do

1:09:34

want it wiped. It is embarrassing. I don't think it

1:09:36

is. I think spelling is stupid. I

1:09:39

kind of do too. You know what?

1:09:41

English is an evolving language, as my

1:09:43

15-year-old told me. Yeah.

1:09:47

There was a president that got on board

1:09:49

with just phonetic spelling, and there's a period

1:09:51

in his life where all his letters go

1:09:53

phonetic. Does anyone know what I'm talking

1:09:55

about? Is it

1:09:57

Reagan? No, that was... That

1:10:00

was just a client. That was just a client. Well,

1:10:03

that's, I think, phonic. Phonic. And

1:10:05

dementia. Sure. But

1:10:07

no, I think it might have been Teddy Roosevelt, you

1:10:09

know, one of his little kooky ideas. Anyway, let's see

1:10:12

who's up next. Which

1:10:14

is this? You

1:10:23

got Marco? Okay, sure. Countdown

1:10:28

to the countdown. I

1:10:30

get my thoughts together. Oh my God. This

1:10:32

is brutal, Chris. Okay. I

1:10:34

know your producers are right here. This

1:10:36

segment is fucking insane. You're

1:10:39

like, tell a secret that you wouldn't tell

1:10:41

anyone on the show. No, not

1:10:43

at all. Of course not. Of course not.

1:10:45

You come up with a fun one. What

1:10:48

was she spelling masturbate for? That's the thing that you

1:10:50

probably want to have to leave. That's

1:10:52

the question. I come to text my

1:10:54

friends. I was masturbating last

1:10:57

night. Sure. And

1:10:59

I was googling busy Phillips masturbating last

1:11:01

night. And I want that removed from

1:11:03

the internet immediately. I

1:11:06

go, I go searches. I'm embarrassed of

1:11:09

Mr. Hands, lemon party, two girls, one cop.

1:11:11

You know, this fucker is not going to

1:11:13

tell the truth. Get out of here. Get out

1:11:15

of here. This

1:11:17

segment is insane. I'm not going to tell

1:11:20

you. Yeah, that's right. Take your

1:11:22

10 seconds. Yeah,

1:11:25

my. I said,

1:11:28

I said to Will backstage. I was like, look

1:11:30

at this. Sorry, too

1:11:32

late. What's off the table?

1:11:36

You know what I mean? Like,

1:11:39

what would you, what would any of us be

1:11:41

embarrassed by at this point? I have a friend

1:11:44

who literally was hacked and like pictures of her

1:11:46

fucking actually masturbating are online. Like

1:11:49

we're all just going to get over it. I

1:11:51

mean, it's out there. I

1:11:54

don't know. People will find

1:11:57

fucking anything. I'm sure my kids

1:11:59

like. You know Nanny cam or

1:12:01

whatever. the the camp, the camera, the sleep

1:12:03

camp. I thought I was like a was

1:12:05

have some point I don't know a ring.

1:12:07

Cams are all had. I don't know.

1:12:10

I would say. When you get a hotel

1:12:12

room, I don't know. No one has

1:12:14

any natives. Good! What Is this? I

1:12:20

mean, they know. Nothing had says that

1:12:22

is least like everything is

1:12:24

is rather mosey to everyone.

1:12:26

Always there's like nothing middle

1:12:29

aged white said you. Know

1:12:31

what I mean? Yeah, no that's why

1:12:33

mine was I'm too good looking business.

1:12:37

Sides I agree. I agree.

1:12:39

War. Movies at the minute

1:12:42

1:12:46

1:12:48

turn into politics there. Has.

1:12:52

To show some respect, this man prosecuted

1:12:54

1:13:01

1:13:56

like i literally have been on since l

1:13:58

of since i was a years old

1:14:01

and I watch those things that are

1:14:03

like this bitch has had plastic surgery

1:14:06

or whatever and truly like

1:14:08

I look like I've had my buckle fat

1:14:10

removed and I look kind of like I've

1:14:12

had a nose job and I

1:14:14

can with so much

1:14:17

confidence tell you neither one of those

1:14:19

things has ever happened in my life

1:14:21

and the truth is your face just

1:14:24

fucking changes as you age and these

1:14:26

kids getting the buckle fat removed are

1:14:28

really dumb because it will

1:14:30

just go away ultimately and you want

1:14:32

it as long

1:14:34

as you can have it. My feeling

1:14:36

is that like the book the hey hey

1:14:39

if it's not

1:14:41

broken don't fix it you know what I mean

1:14:43

like leave your cheek you're taking the inside of

1:14:45

your cheeks out they got a beef or something. That's

1:14:49

the buckle fat guys in case you

1:14:51

don't know because you like you know

1:14:54

you know

1:14:56

what I mean like you're not like we're not

1:14:58

following the accounts where it's like side-by-side of

1:15:01

like you know what does Margot Robbie

1:15:03

done to her face like I there

1:15:05

are lots of accounts like that I think

1:15:07

it's such bullshit because I think that

1:15:09

people's faces change and we don't like

1:15:11

accept that and then but sometimes I

1:15:15

gotta say there's sometimes where someone

1:15:17

does it something

1:15:20

happens and and you

1:15:22

know that they're also lying and I understand

1:15:24

being you don't want no one should be

1:15:26

mean on the internet but but if you're

1:15:28

if no one should that's my policy yeah

1:15:30

but if your face fucking

1:15:33

changed completely over the course of a day

1:15:37

don't bullshit me. Yeah I agree I

1:15:39

agree I here's my feeling about all

1:15:41

of this which is in this it's

1:15:43

similar to Ozempic and Mandaro which

1:15:45

is we have this Calvinist idea like

1:15:47

deep in our bones where if if

1:15:49

you didn't work hard for it if

1:15:51

you didn't suffer for it if you

1:15:53

didn't earn it it isn't real and

1:15:55

so like be like okay

1:15:57

like I don't you know I've about

1:16:00

having hair transplant and like I've had three

1:16:02

of them. I've

1:16:05

had three of them and I've talked about that. That's

1:16:08

not a secret. Because also you fundamentally,

1:16:10

you're also an intelligent person, John, and

1:16:13

you understand fundamentally that somebody who like

1:16:15

doesn't have the gee, or like that like doesn't lose

1:16:17

hair because they don't have the fucking gene or whatever doesn't

1:16:19

make them superior, right? And like you like live in a

1:16:22

world where you're like, I

1:16:24

actually just want my hair. And like so what if they, yeah

1:16:26

look, two from my head and one from my asshole. So

1:16:28

what? So

1:16:33

what? Is that embarrassing? Yeah, the

1:16:35

doctor says, time

1:16:39

to, time to, time to, we

1:16:41

have to go to the southern forest this time.

1:16:45

We've clear cut the parts that we

1:16:47

can use up north. That's

1:16:50

not what happened. That's

1:16:52

not what happened. But if it was

1:16:54

so what? But I, but I

1:16:56

know is one day your asshole had no hair.

1:16:59

The next day was covered in hair. And I

1:17:01

didn't get it. I

1:17:03

didn't send it to the asshole. I got

1:17:05

it from the asshole. It

1:17:07

wasn't a, what were you

1:17:09

thinking? You

1:17:12

said, you know what? This is not good, but you

1:17:14

know, it's more important. No,

1:17:16

that wouldn't have been the third. You

1:17:21

think that's what I did? No, of course not. They

1:17:23

harvest from the asshole. No,

1:17:26

I can see your hair. That

1:17:29

was, that was too far.

1:17:33

And he's the prosecutor and I'm having a case made

1:17:35

against me. I just think this is one of the

1:17:37

most helpful focus groups that I've ever listened to. Listen,

1:17:41

you know what? You played your cards right 20 to

1:17:43

30 years. I'm one of your

1:17:45

voters. Something

1:17:49

to think about. Something to think about. Where

1:17:51

does this go? Not to Florida. This

1:17:56

goes to the desert. And

1:18:01

I think that's a wonderful place to

1:18:03

leave this segment. We come back, we'll end on a

1:18:05

high note. And we're back. Because we

1:18:08

need it this week, here

1:18:10

it is. It's a high note. Hi,

1:18:13

Levitt. This

1:18:15

is a post-pandemic high note

1:18:18

about my amazing, resilient teenage

1:18:20

daughter. Like a lot

1:18:22

of families, we had a pretty miserable lockdown.

1:18:25

We live in a big city and we're

1:18:27

stuck in a small apartment, unable to

1:18:29

go to work or school. She

1:18:32

got super depressed and lost interest in most

1:18:34

of the things that used to give her

1:18:36

joy. And I said to a

1:18:38

friend at the time, when this is over, I

1:18:41

just want her to be passionate about something again

1:18:43

and be re-engaged with the world. Well,

1:18:45

fast forward to 2024. She's

1:18:47

16 now and busy with so many

1:18:50

things, I practically have to schedule time to

1:18:52

see her in any given week. Two

1:18:54

of those things are social justice

1:18:56

and playing chess. Last

1:18:59

week she spoke at a rally with

1:19:01

a local ACLU chapter where

1:19:03

she's part of a teen activist

1:19:05

project about equity in budgeting before

1:19:07

our city council. And

1:19:09

this week she is starting a program

1:19:11

she designed to teach chess to low-income

1:19:14

teens at our local drop-in center. And

1:19:16

I couldn't be prouder of the amazing,

1:19:19

resilient person that she is. Hi,

1:19:23

Love It! This is Mara. I

1:19:25

have seen you live in Madison and I'm

1:19:27

going to be seeing you again this July.

1:19:31

I am calling to let you know

1:19:33

that my NIH grant was

1:19:35

recently scored very highly and assuming the

1:19:37

government doesn't shut down, which, let's be

1:19:40

honest, is a real possibility, it should

1:19:43

be funded later this year. Which

1:19:45

means that I will get to

1:19:47

be studying the health care of

1:19:49

the incarcerated population in the hospital.

1:19:52

And I'm just very happy that the

1:19:55

NIH recognizes the importance of taking

1:19:57

care of the very vulnerable and

1:19:59

understandable people. studied incarcerated

1:20:01

population. Thanks for all

1:20:03

that you do. Love your show. Thank

1:20:06

you to everybody who sent in a high note tonight.

1:20:08

1:20:10

1:20:18

last note before we go, tonight's

1:20:20

show is the last show for

1:20:22

Zuri Ervin, who has been producing

1:20:24

videos for this show for years,

1:20:26

does an amazing job, brings an

1:20:28

intense, anxious, neurotic

1:20:31

energy to this

1:20:33

show, which is incredible

1:20:36

given the energy everyone brings to the show. Do

1:20:39

you know how anxious about doing a

1:20:41

good job you have to be on this program to

1:20:43

be one of the anxious people that works on this

1:20:45

show? That's incredible. But

1:20:48

he brings that energy because he has cared

1:20:50

so much about helping to translate this show

1:20:52

on YouTube. And because of him, we have

1:20:54

built an incredible audience on YouTube. And so

1:20:57

Zuri, thank you so much for everything. You've

1:20:59

gone for this show. Really

1:21:02

1:22:34

List is now

1:22:37

Angie and we've heard

1:22:40

a lot of theories about why. Angie's

1:22:51

list is now Angie, and we've heard a

1:22:53

lot of theories about why. I thought it

1:22:55

was an eco move. For your words, less

1:22:57

paper. No, it was so you could

1:22:59

say it faster. No, it's

1:23:02

to be more iconic. Must be a

1:23:04

tech thing. But those aren't quite right.

1:23:06

It's because now you can compare upfront

1:23:08

prices, book a service instantly, and even

1:23:10

get your project handled from start to

finish. Sounds easy. It is, and it
