From Los Angeles and moments.

0:10

One and only word, famous Perez

0:14

Hilton.

0:17

Why, Hello, everybody, Welcome to DPHP.

0:20

I'm Booker, he is Perez. What

0:23

is doing well?

0:24

I appreciate every single person

0:26

listening to today's super episode

0:29

of the PHP. We're of

0:32

course talking all things super Bowl,

0:34

Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Usher, Post

0:36

Malone, and more, plus

0:39

some personal insights and

0:41

moments that happened with me over the last

0:43

few days here in Las Vegas,

0:46

host city for the Super Bowl. A few

0:48

people on the Patreon wanted to

0:50

ask about the poker tournament

0:52

I was in and how

0:55

I did, and I'm honestly shocked.

0:57

I did better than I thought I.

0:59

Would, better than I I thought you would.

1:01

There were seventy six people

1:04

in the tournament. And my problem

1:07

is I took Booker's fucking advice.

1:10

He strained me in the wrong direction, didn't

1:12

He said to play a conservative and I did

1:14

it too conservative?

1:16

Well, I said, to a point, and he

1:18

was texting me during it, and I told

1:20

him, I said, the blinds are going to increase,

1:23

and you're gonna have to get aggressive soon

1:25

because once those blinds go up, you got

1:27

to find a hand that you could win. This is when they

1:29

start clearing people out, and it's exactly what

1:31

happened. But you were playing against probably

1:34

pros at this point. I mean, people were

1:36

actually really good at playing cards. You did

1:38

very well by not going out on the

1:40

first table. On the first three hands,

1:43

you did great.

1:43

I think my problem is I should have been more

1:46

aggressive earlier with hands

1:48

that I knew I was gonna win, where

1:50

I like had.

1:50

Three of a kind.

1:52

Yes, you should have for three of a guy.

1:53

I know I should have put all my money in or

1:55

not all, but like I should have put more than I did.

1:58

I was still a little too conservative because my mom was

2:00

like, I just want to come in ninth. I want to come

2:02

in ninth because I come in ninth, I can win some money.

2:04

The Nuby is not going to come in ninth. I told

2:06

you that to begin with.

2:07

Well, there were seventy six people that competed,

2:09

and I lost somewhere in the fifties range,

2:12

and three other people in my table went out

2:14

before me. So I was pretty happy. You know, I

2:16

think I did well.

2:17

I think you did very well. But you were living

2:19

in the clouds if you thought that you were going to get

2:21

to the final table. You were not going.

2:22

I thought I would. I don't know.

2:24

I was like, the odds are like one in seven

2:27

something. You know, it's not awful odds.

2:30

Those are not the odds.

2:32

They're not the odds.

2:33

They're not the odds. When you don't know how to play cards,

2:35

you know you took one lesson. No one takes

2:37

one lesson. It's like taking one

2:40

lesson and saying, Okay, I'm ready to fly the space

2:42

shuttle. Okay, there's a lot

2:44

to cards.

2:45

My big takeaway for me is that betting

2:47

is very important. Anyways,

2:50

there I had some run ins with people.

2:52

Yeah, to never believe this. So

2:54

I go to the bathroom during a break, and

2:57

I see this guy and I don't

2:59

know whatever. He looks very familiar, but I don't

3:01

put two and two together. So I'm in

3:03

the bathroom and then I go I go pee, and then I

3:05

go back to my table. And as I'm walking back

3:07

to the table, the same guy stops

3:09

me and said, hey, Perez, it's

3:11

Mark Demilio. Just wanted to introduce

3:14

myself. That's the father of

3:16

that influence, Oh, Charlie.

3:19

Of them, I guess, but yeah, both of them,

3:21

right, And I'm sure you remember, But if

3:24

not, I definitely think a lot of our

3:26

listeners remember that very embarrassing

3:28

cringe video I posted in December

3:30

of twenty twenty when I was kicked

3:32

off TikTok for the first time.

3:35

I was crying and literally begging

3:38

Charlie d'milio and her father for

3:40

help.

3:41

So I don't like, why

3:44

why did this guy even say hello to me? Like?

3:46

What was the point? I'm thinking?

3:48

Is this a power move? He

3:50

was a I DM him, I

3:53

messaged him, I publicly pleaded

3:55

with him, and he ghosted me, ignored

3:57

me.

3:58

Why even say hello to me?

4:00

I mean, I think most of

4:02

us that you couldn't have been serious

4:04

with all your crying and oh I was very serious,

4:07

I know, because you're a mental patient. But I'm

4:09

sure that he did not believe

4:12

that you were as nuts as you were

4:14

at that point, especially with something

4:17

so stupid and silly. So I don't

4:19

blame him for staying away from you with a

4:21

ten foot poll on that. I would have too.

4:23

I would have laughed and said, this is a bit.

4:25

A bit, I was asking for help. What is there

4:27

a bit with.

4:28

About getting back on TikTok.

4:30

Yeah, it was important. It still is

4:32

Okay. Anyways, I think that was like

4:35

either to like, I think it was like a power

4:37

move, you think. I think, so it's

4:39

just a.

4:40

Guy savvy enough to make a power and what's the

4:42

move? Like, what's he getting out of it? He's like, Oh,

4:44

whatever, let's move on. There's so much to talk.

4:46

Anyways, it rubbed me the wrong way.

4:48

Also, this influencer Bryce Hall

4:51

came up to me and he's popular with

4:53

a certain demographic and he

4:55

just wanted me to know he's a good guy. Yeah,

4:57

a good guy that gets into fights all the

4:59

time.

5:00

Time. He's like, what am I supposed

5:02

to do if somebody comes up and pushes me? I'm

5:04

like, walk away, dude. So that

5:06

was interesting walk away.

5:08

I also went

5:10

to this event at Durango

5:13

Casino Durango Resort here in.

5:15

Vegas called Power Slap from

5:18

Dana White. Oh my God of UFC,

5:20

and it's literally when it sounds, it's

5:23

men and women slapping

5:26

the life out of each other. And I

5:28

had the best time.

5:30

You did.

5:31

It was so much fun.

5:32

It's too violent for me, Oh it was.

5:35

It's hard to watch the videos of

5:37

it, like watching it in person must

5:39

have been. Does it make you feel squirmy

5:41

and stuff when you're on.

5:42

I loved it. I was like, hit him,

5:45

hit him, knock him out, hit them harder,

5:49

Like one guy started bleeding and everything,

5:52

and sure, I'm like, how do their teeth

5:54

not fall out? Like I don't know, it's just

5:56

all insane, But I loved it,

5:58

had so much fun.

5:59

And I also made it to this

6:01

uber one party where

6:04

Post Malone performed, and

6:06

I guess this will be a good segue to just start talking

6:08

about the super Bowl because we'll talk Post

6:11

Malone at that party and his

6:13

pre game performance.

6:15

He kind of started off the whole thing on TV, the

6:17

first great moment of the day.

6:19

Yeah, so Post performed,

6:22

and yes he uses

6:24

auto tune when performing, and

6:27

god, he made so much money because it was to

6:30

track. He did not have a band with him, so

6:32

he pocketed that entire check.

6:34

But he was just so effusive.

6:37

I guess it's the good word, like just radiating

6:39

good vibes and like I

6:42

had never seen him perform before. And

6:44

actually what really sealed it afterwards

6:47

for me was when he was done performing,

6:50

he literally had his sound

6:53

guy come take off his mic pack

6:55

and ears and he went out

6:57

into the audience and started taking.

6:59

Photos and with everybody. Yeah,

7:01

fucking love him. I love him. I'm

7:04

like the biggest post.

7:05

Malone fan now, and even

7:08

more so after watching his super

7:10

Bowl performance, because yes,

7:13

he also used auto tune during

7:15

his super Bowl performance, but I

7:17

think it was very minimal.

7:19

I don't think it was a lot of auto tune.

7:20

No, he does live performances, like if you remember

7:23

Back of the Pandemic when they did the entire Nirvana

7:25

performance, that was amazing. There was no autotune.

7:27

He was just playing in a band.

7:29

He's good, you know, because I always thought that like

7:31

he would sound like crap without auto

7:33

tune.

7:33

And it was nice to hear him real,

7:36

so to speak. And I loved he totally

7:38

transformed that traditional song.

7:41

I loved it. It was a real highlight.

7:43

I actually this might shock you enjoyed

7:46

him more than Riba.

7:48

There's nothing shocking about that. Riba was

7:50

so boring. Yeah, I mean, I guess

7:52

it's okay for some people to go down as

7:54

a non memorable performance.

7:57

Like you took the whatever the press

7:59

from it. You didn't embarrass yourself. You

8:01

got the cloud to being a part of a super

8:03

Bowl. But it was just so boring.

8:06

No, but you know, but I'll take it.

8:08

I'll take it because better to have a boring

8:10

national anthem than a Fergie

8:12

one, you know what I mean?

8:13

Did Fergy suck? I don't recall. I don't remember

8:15

that.

8:16

Oh I got remember.

8:16

I think it was like some basketball game, and she did

8:19

like a jazz interpretation.

8:21

Of the national anthem.

8:24

And the thing is she can sing to

8:26

really sing her face off. She just tried to do

8:28

something different. It's just go out there and sing the dumb

8:30

song. No one's there to hear you sing the song.

8:33

They're there for the damn game.

8:34

The more I think about it, how they are really,

8:37

I guess not bad, but like a wrong

8:39

choice national anthem. It's not the worst thing

8:41

ever, because, like I think that Fergie national

8:43

anthem, now that we still talk about it, we still

8:46

remember it.

8:46

That's fucking cool.

8:47

It's the bad that everyone remembers. It's

8:50

like Roseanne bar at the Cubs game

8:52

doing take me out to the ballgame, and

8:54

you know, everybody still remembers that and

8:56

talks about it. It was horrible, but that's kind

8:59

of what you want. You go out there, unless you're a powerhouse

9:01

like Whitney, who did some sort

9:03

of thing that will never forget. Yeah,

9:06

it's hard to do that. So if you're not going

9:08

to do that, like you said, don't pull a Fergie,

9:10

just go out there and sing your song. But post

9:12

Malone, no pressure. You know, he was pre

9:15

game and kind of just started

9:17

it off. You were sitting down and you're like, oh, this is

9:19

cool, and it's like you said, he just radiates

9:21

that thing. He should look into a couple

9:23

more tattoos, though, really should There's

9:26

a couple pieces of real estate on his face.

9:28

He could still tackle.

9:29

And Andre Day was fabulous as well.

9:31

And before we get to all the good stuff,

9:33

Las Vegas, man, I don't think there's a better

9:36

city in the world to throw

9:38

events of this scale.

9:39

It should be there every year.

9:41

Yeah, that's a great it should be.

9:43

I almost wish they didn't put a team

9:45

there and they would have just built a stadium

9:47

and like had a rotating game every

9:50

week in that stadium, like let's say

9:52

the Chiefs and whomever. The forty

9:54

nine ers, fine, you know, one game

9:57

every week. Should just be in Vegas for your fan

9:59

base to go there number one and

10:01

everything was perfect. It's just like

10:03

everybody there knew what they were doing.

10:05

They do that, you know what I mean, that's their

10:08

lives events and god it came

10:10

off without a hitch.

10:11

Although I like that we have the Raiders. Hopefully

10:13

Raiders do better next season.

10:15

Yeah, all right, before we get to

10:17

Usher, and I know you all want us to, we have

10:19

to talk about the Taylor Swift show

10:22

of it all.

10:23

Yeah, and even before Taylor got

10:25

there over.

10:28

We don't even need that guy, the

10:30

Jack Kid or whatever his name is, that's in

10:32

college that Taylor's threatening to sue because

10:34

over six thousand people were

10:37

tracking Taylor's jet from

10:39

Japan to the United States. Yes,

10:42

apparently you can see the number of people tracking

10:44

the jet.

10:45

That's pretty wild.

10:46

She gave the Jets some like cute nickname

10:48

or whatever.

10:49

It's like the.

10:49

Football era, I think.

10:51

But she got a lot of criticism even before

10:53

leaving Japan because she was

10:56

not going to miss the Super Bowl. She was

10:58

not risking anything. She had

11:00

her private plane and

11:03

a backup on standby

11:05

in case anything happened, So.

11:07

They had to fly two private planes to

11:09

her.

11:10

Really, yeah, she had two private planes

11:12

flown to where she was in Japan in

11:14

case something happened with the first one. Thankfully, she

11:16

made it to La on time, flew

11:19

out to Vegas Sunday morning, arrived

11:22

at Allegiant Stadium with her posse, including

11:25

Blake Lively, her mother, her father,

11:27

and Ice Spice, who, in

11:29

her own little way kind of also stole

11:31

the show because I loved

11:34

watching all of the cutaways. Of

11:36

course, there was a camera dedicated just

11:38

to Taylor and her suite, and it

11:40

seems like Ice Spice has no idea

11:42

how football is played, because

11:45

like everybody was explaining to her what

11:47

was happening and the rules of football.

11:49

And by the way, I hate that. I hate when you're sitting

11:51

there trying to watch a game and you gotta explain every

11:53

goddamn thing that's happened.

11:55

I mean, have you never watched football? Like

11:57

I understand football? And I'm not like a pro.

12:00

Yesterday she had no idea. I was trying to explain

12:02

first downs, those touchbacks,

12:04

like just trying to explain the game. A lot of people

12:07

don't understand the game.

12:08

My eleven year old son almost

12:10

my son turns eleven later this week,

12:13

he kind.

12:13

Of understands it. I love it. You

12:15

just pick things up.

12:16

I don't know, you watch a few games, you got it.

12:18

You know. I loved watching Taylor.

12:19

We got so many memes from her

12:22

that night, from the moment that she

12:24

was put on the JumboTron and she was playing

12:26

along to the Taylor Swift drinking game.

12:29

Every time they showed her, she would

12:31

take a drink.

12:32

I love when she slammed the one down. That's

12:34

the one meme I saw, which I thought was great.

12:36

That was good one, but then all of the other ones, and like the

12:38

photos of her face looking all stressed

12:40

and tense because it was a real close

12:43

game it went into overtime.

12:45

It was exciting. I got I got nerve.

12:47

I'm like, oh my god, I can't handle the anxiety

12:49

of this all.

12:50

San Francisco missed an extra

12:52

point to lose the super Bowl. That is

12:55

just unbelievable. It is the most gimme

12:57

score. I bet the percentage of

12:59

the regular season of extra

13:02

points made. I bet it's higher

13:04

than ninety five percent, you know what I

13:06

mean. And to have one block. As

13:08

soon as it happened, I looked over to everybody and

13:10

I said, that point will decide this game.

13:13

Well, thank god I was listening to

13:15

the commentators because when I understand

13:17

football, but then the rules

13:19

and overtime were different.

13:21

Yeah, so I'm like, oh my god, this is stressful, even

13:23

more stressful because the overtime rules are different, like,

13:25

oh my god, oh my god.

13:27

But it was a great game, and thankfully

13:29

for Taylor Swift, the Chiefs

13:32

won. I was rooting for the forty nine ers just because

13:34

I like the underdog.

13:35

Chiefs were the underdog, but they had they.

13:36

Won last year and they've won so many times.

13:39

It was weird to me to pick them as the underdog,

13:42

you know. And I guess it was only two points or two

13:44

and a half points. But it's Patrick Mahomes.

13:46

He's twenty eight. He's on pace to wipe

13:49

the floor of Tom Brady, who's been the

13:52

guy that they call the all time greatest three

13:54

super Bowls out of the last five and be the

13:56

MVP and three of them. How do you think

13:58

that he's not gonna win?

13:59

Tailor's boyfriend was asked last

14:02

night after their win, you know his plans

14:04

for the next season and if he's going to retire,

14:06

and he's like, hell no, I want that three.

14:08

P that's never happened before.

14:10

That could be the coolest I know.

14:12

I listened to the commentators

14:14

say that I was paying attention Okay, anyways,

14:18

did you just watch it home?

14:19

Yeah? No, I was so busy. Oh my god,

14:21

I was posting so much.

14:23

I loved seeing Taylor and Travis

14:25

embrace and kiss. And there's I don't

14:27

know, there's a lot of Tailor Swift haters out there. As

14:29

much as she has lovers.

14:31

There are a lot of.

14:32

Haters and suck on your hateration.

14:34

Okay, I celebrate them. They

14:36

made me happy.

14:37

Usher. Here are my thoughts. I like

14:40

Usher.

14:40

He's iconic, He's been around for fucking thirty

14:42

years. He has so many hits. Part

14:45

of me doesn't understand why some people

14:47

were underwhelmed with him as a choice.

14:50

There's been so many instances of

14:52

quote legacy artists performing

14:54

at the super Bowl that haven't been quote

14:56

relevant per se, Like, yeah, he hasn't had a

14:58

hit in a while, but Prince have a hit

15:01

recently when he performed at the super Bowl. No, did

15:03

you two have a hit recently when he performed the Super

15:06

Bowl. No, they're fucking icons. They're fucking

15:08

cool. And if I had to grade

15:10

it from F to A plus,

15:12

I'd give it a solid B plus,

15:15

almost a minus.

15:16

Here's why I think I'd give the exact same

15:18

grade by the.

15:18

Way, Okay, I was really

15:21

underwhelmed with the beginning. I

15:23

love pomp and circumstance and build

15:25

up and anticipation, and it just started with him

15:27

sitting down and that's also a little low energy,

15:30

like Michael Jackson would not be sitting down

15:32

to open the Super Bowl like he was at

15:34

the top there anyways. And then for

15:37

me, this is just opinion and personal

15:39

preferences. It kind of took me out

15:41

of it. I didn't like seeing him open

15:44

his segment performing on the turf. They

15:46

couldn't build a walkway a runway, and they

15:48

couldn't build a stage here, like what is this?

15:49

I didn't like it.

15:50

And the biggest problem for me with

15:52

the opening was it felt too busy.

15:54

There was so much going on to the point where

15:56

it.

15:57

Was distracting press so

15:59

down a concert. It's a halftime

16:01

show at a football killt I get you.

16:04

It needed focus.

16:05

After that, when Alicia Keys

16:07

came on and he peeled away all

16:10

of the other people, that's when things

16:12

just really honed in and became awesome.

16:15

And I was a little worried for Alicia at first

16:17

because that first note she hit was a bum

16:19

one?

16:20

Was it? I didn't catch that.

16:21

Oh yeah, if you watched the clip again that she

16:23

started off like real flat, like bad,

16:26

like aw but then she corrected

16:28

herself. It might have just been a sound issue.

16:30

Yeah, she probably can't hear it. Yeah, yeah, because

16:33

it's a football game, it's not a concert. I'm sure

16:35

it's not really put together for that. But she

16:37

took the performance to the next level.

16:39

That's when everything took off exactly.

16:41

That that was the point, you know, because then it was like

16:43

not about Usher and one hundred people. And also

16:46

I'm tired of the marching bands at the

16:48

super Bowl, Like, can can we be a little

16:50

more creative people?

16:51

I think it's just trying to fill up that space, trying

16:53

to fill up that floor.

16:55

My favorite parts of the Usher show were when

16:57

he was by himself. So then after Alisha, it

16:59

was awesome. Everything was great for me. I

17:02

loved all the guests. I loved her, loved.

17:05

Singing my old pal will I

17:07

Am and Little John, and I loved that Little

17:09

John got to sing a little bit of one of his solo songs.

17:12

Little John was the best part. That's

17:14

when that was very Vegas and when bothers

17:16

when he was out there.

17:17

Definitely a highlight and then all

17:20

of this, I was like so feeling and loving

17:22

it. He ended it the same way he began

17:24

it. The ending was a little bit of a dud. I'm

17:26

like, oh, that's it. That's the ending.

17:29

Like I love a dramatic ending too,

17:31

Like when Madonna performed and she fell

17:33

off and like went into the abyss Like that

17:35

was a big diva moment.

17:37

Wasn't God got like thrown up in the air, Yeah,

17:39

off of something.

17:40

Yeah, I love all that shit. Like he just kind of

17:42

like it just kind of ended.

17:44

Yeah. But like I said, overall B plus,

17:46

maybe even a minus, thoroughly enjoyable.

17:49

He's amazing, to be honest, I thought

17:51

it was a little long. I am there for football,

17:53

and the halftime was far too long,

17:55

and you got a dogfight of a great game going,

17:58

and I'm like, this just feels too minutes

18:00

too long. And it's funny. They gave him two minutes

18:02

more.

18:02

Yeah, I said that on the Patreon on Thursday.

18:05

They gave him more time than any other

18:07

halftime show performer before, so

18:09

he performed for fifteen minutes instead

18:11

of the usual thirteen.

18:13

So yeah, it felt like thirty though, And I

18:15

just didn't feel like a lot of

18:17

times he didn't get into the meat of all

18:20

of the songs for long enough. And I get

18:22

that it's your greatest hits real, but

18:24

every song I just kind of I wish you could

18:26

get to the hook quicker. Like I said,

18:28

it's a fucking football game.

18:30

I just thought it was good.

18:31

I thought it was really solid. While I look

18:33

back at it as one of the most iconic

18:35

and best, probably not, but it was better

18:37

than Timberlake.

18:38

It was better than Rihanna last year too.

18:40

Yeah.

18:41

A highlight for me.

18:42

Also was that Wicked commercial. Very

18:44

excited for the movie.

18:45

Oh I didn't see that.

18:47

Still pissed they're splitting it in two though.

18:49

That's just such a cash grab

18:51

an unnecessary move.

18:53

The ben Affleck j Loo commercial was

18:55

pretty funny.

18:56

I was gonna say, you were talking about how usher,

18:58

you know, it felt like he didn't get to the meat and potatoes.

19:00

And I forget what year it was, two or three

19:03

years ago. Jalo and Shakira.

19:05

Had just six and a half minutes each basically,

19:08

and did more with those six and a half

19:10

minutes. I feel like and.

19:12

I kind of got the feeling that they both felt

19:14

slighted by some small amount of

19:16

time. They shouldn't. It was perfect. They

19:18

both went out there with ten energy. It

19:20

was a pack great six minutes apiece

19:23

and I enjoyed that. So, you know, next

19:25

year, I think they need to peel it back a little bit

19:27

because I really think it was a little too long.

19:29

If you're there for football, I gotta tell you that

19:31

game must have went four some hours last

19:34

night. I just could not believe how long

19:36

that game was, just because of the halftime.

19:38

Well, it also went into overtime too,

19:40

but the halftime show is a big draw for a

19:43

lot of people.

19:43

Yeah, before we talked

19:45

about Beyonce, we have to go back to Ariana.

19:48

For a second. A little update on her

19:50

song.

19:51

It did go to number one, but in

19:53

its third week, yes end

19:55

is at number seventeen on the Hot

19:58

one hundred and projection for

20:00

this week the Hot one hundred should come out later

20:02

today have it going down even further.

20:05

So like the song is done already.

20:07

I think some songs take six

20:09

months to take off. Some happen immediately.

20:11

It's a weird way to I don't know

20:14

gauge music.

20:14

Beyonce had a Super Bowl halftime show

20:17

commercial for Verizon. It

20:19

was cute, funny to see Beyonce

20:21

try to be humorous. Yeah,

20:23

I agree, And she surprise

20:27

released two new songs

20:29

and announced a new album, kind

20:32

of like Taylor Swift.

20:33

Although I don't know if most people caught

20:35

that.

20:36

I didn't. Yeah, Kel said that afterwards,

20:38

she goes, well, she announced her new album. I said, when

20:41

she goes at the end of that commercial, I go,

20:43

oh, that didn't print. I thought she was just kind

20:45

of being funny or trying to be funny, like I'll

20:47

just launch a new album. She was saying, she's launching

20:49

a new album.

20:50

Yeah.

20:50

No, people didn't get it. That's why I'm saying, like Taylor

20:52

at the Grammys, everybody listened

20:54

and was aware.

20:56

The new album from Beyonce, Act two

20:58

comes out March tw nin so

21:01

next month, in just six weeks.

21:02

Well, let's just go ahead and say it all win Album of

21:05

the Year next year at the Grammys, because jay

21:07

Z's already shamed the Grammys.

21:09

Well, it might because also she's trying

21:11

something very different for her, and I do believe

21:13

that Grammys like that any like

21:16

people like seeing others try new things,

21:18

even if it isn't the best. It's a bit

21:20

of a country album, a country inspired

21:23

country pop country ballad. She released

21:25

two preview songs already

21:28

last night in conjunction with the release.

21:30

One is called Texas Hold Them,

21:32

which I like it. It's solid.

21:34

Lady Gaga references Texas hold Them

21:36

in poker face.

21:37

Correct.

21:38

Yeah, it's not like an break

21:40

my soul song, you know. It's not like an obvious

21:42

over your head smashed. I don't know if this is

21:44

going to be a hit, but I liked it. I

21:46

enjoyed that one.

21:47

I haven't heard it yet. I'll take a lesson.

21:49

I did enjoy it.

21:50

And then she released another one called

21:52

sixteen Carriages, which

21:55

is fine. That's more of like a ballad.

21:57

It's fine, it's you know, there's

22:00

it's like Riba doing the national

22:02

anthem. There's nothing wrong with it. It's not

22:04

bad.

22:04

But it's not like I'm not excited for the album

22:06

because of that one song. Speaking

22:08

of musicians, Kanye West had

22:11

a pop up show last night in

22:13

Vegas, charging dumbasses

22:15

three hundred dollars a ticket to watch him

22:17

perform, and I did

22:19

not go, thankfully. He also is

22:22

so disrespectful to fellow

22:25

musicians, and I think the

22:27

rules, the law should change

22:29

because the music industry somehow

22:32

has these loopholes that

22:34

allow artists to, I

22:37

guess, just pay a penalty

22:39

or a fine. You know, like if you release a song

22:41

that has a sample and you don't clear it,

22:43

the worst that will happen is you'll just pay all

22:46

of the money you make from that song to the songwriters.

22:48

And Kanye clearly doesn't give a shit about making

22:50

money, so he's been doing that. He's like, I'm

22:52

going to use whatever sample I want, even if I don't

22:54

get permission from it. On this new album

22:57

of his. Two different people said no

22:59

to Kanye, and he went.

23:00

Ahead and still used it.

23:02

Ozzy Osbourne refused, Kanye

23:05

did not grant permission, and Donna

23:07

Summer's husband Bruce Sadano

23:09

also refused, and both of those

23:11

songs made it onto the new Kanye

23:14

album.

23:14

Wow. I mean, you're an artist, how would you

23:16

feel if other artists did that to your

23:19

music? Or like bad? I don't

23:21

know. I feel like permission should matter.

23:23

I don't disagree. Lame balls

23:25

and Ozzy came out and said, oh no,

23:27

no, I did not sign off on this. But

23:29

he also dressed up as Kanye for Halloween.

23:32

He did.

23:33

I think he did. I think it was this year. I didn't

23:35

know that, maybe the year before, but he did.

23:37

At some point I saw that online atocracy

23:40

of it all, I'm like, come.

23:40

On, well, it's still his song, you know.

23:43

And by the way, speaking of the Kardashians, did they

23:45

go to the game?

23:46

Well, I was about to get to that.

23:47

Speaking of the Kardashians, I don't

23:49

think I saw Kim Beer.

23:50

She might have been there, and you know, hiding.

23:53

She wasn't hiding, the NFL was hiding

23:55

her. Taylor Swift was there. Okay, they

23:57

were not going to put a Kardashian on TV

24:00

for a billion dollars. They weren't gonna make it on

24:02

a TV. That's my guess.

24:03

She might have been there. I'm not sure, but they

24:06

all were in town for the Super Bowl.

24:08

They probably got paid to go somewhere.

24:09

Even Yeah, Kim was there with Odell Beckham

24:12

Junior, her new man and they're

24:14

soft launching that relationship.

24:16

Courtney was not here though, she was in Australia

24:19

with her kids because Travis

24:22

is there with Blink one eighty two, and

24:24

she must have a really good relationship

24:26

with Scott Dissick because I would

24:29

not let my kids play hooky from

24:31

school to go on tour with Blink one

24:33

eighty two.

24:34

Aren't they homeschool?

24:35

They go to this one school in the valley. I'm not going to

24:37

say the name, but if you google it you can find out.

24:39

I don't know.

24:39

I mean they got enough money to take a teacher

24:42

with them.

24:42

I don't know. Enjoy that.

24:44

By the way, So Bieber was in town.

24:46

Oh yes, shit, I forgot to talk about that. Bieber

24:49

was in town, and I'm glad

24:51

he did not perform with us, sure, because

24:53

he would have sucked. Okay, let's be honest.

24:55

How do you know?

24:56

Because first of all, I just knew he

24:58

wouldn't commit to it, because Bieber's

25:01

the kid that's canceled multiple

25:03

tours.

25:04

He is lazy, He's.

25:06

Got a lot of issues, and

25:09

he would not have been able or willing

25:11

or wanting or excited to put in all

25:13

of the rehearsal necessary to do something

25:15

great for the Super Bowl. I feel that, and

25:17

also maybe his nerves or whatever might have gotten

25:20

the best of him. He was in the stadium

25:22

watching, But I'm thankful

25:24

he did not take part.

25:26

Did they show him because I don't recall seeing

25:28

him anywhere.

25:29

I know that the NFL did show him

25:31

on their social media.

25:33

Yeah, I didn't see him on the broadcast.

25:34

Yeah, I was watching Cooking exactly

25:37

exactly.

25:37

I was watching and also listening to

25:39

and I was working, so it's not like I was watching

25:42

one hundred percent the whole time.

25:43

I was listening and watching. But

25:45

yeah, I don't know.

25:46

Maybe they showed him, maybe they didn't. He did hit

25:48

up a few parties and is enjoying

25:51

the famous life in

25:54

Vegas and super Bowl weekend some.

25:56

Non super Bowl stuff.

25:58

I saw these photo that made me

26:01

so happy of convict

26:04

and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

26:06

alum Jen Shaw and

26:09

fellow convict and fraudster

26:12

Elizabeth Holmes. The two

26:14

of them are in the same detention

26:16

facility, the same prison, and they're

26:18

friends.

26:19

And somehow this is loking crazy.

26:22

There are paparazzi photos

26:24

of them in prison.

26:27

How the hell? Right?

26:29

I mean, maybe a security guard.

26:30

Yeah, I'm gonna say a guard is probably

26:32

allowed to have their phone. I'm sure they're

26:34

probably not allowed to take a picture and.

26:38

Way yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Finally,

26:40

a Patreon supporter asked

26:43

us about that Traders show, and

26:46

you actually are watching it?

26:48

Right? Love it?

26:49

What do you love about it? Is it like Survivor? Like,

26:51

what's the gist of it?

26:52

Yeah, well it's Survivor like set in a house.

26:55

Well, first of all, they have Alan Cummings who

26:57

pretends that he's Scottish the whole time. He

26:59

is very fucking weird.

27:00

No, he is Scottish.

27:02

Well, but he's the he's the house nanny,

27:04

whatever the fuck it is. But he's over acting.

27:07

He's playing like the caretaker. Oh okay,

27:09

but he's like acting. He's like hosting

27:11

and yet acting at the same time. It's very

27:14

odd. But the whole premise of the show

27:16

is you have these uh you have a group

27:18

of people are faithfuls, right,

27:20

so they are. I don't know if it starts with like

27:23

twelve people, and then there's a group

27:25

of people that are the traders,

27:27

and that's three people. Nobody knows

27:29

who anybody is. And if the traders

27:32

end up at the end, if even one trader

27:35

ends up in the whole finale, then they

27:37

get the money. But if the followers, if

27:39

they get at the end and they figured out how to weed

27:41

everybody out, they get the money. So and

27:44

I may have botched that a little bit because

27:46

I kind of side watching this and that, but

27:48

every time I sit down for twenty minutes

27:50

for it, it's very good. And I

27:52

was telling Perez, it's all celebrities. It's ex

27:55

reality show people on the show,

27:57

and I don't know who fucking any of them are. There's like I

27:59

knew Ari from The Bachelor, everybody else

28:01

may as well be my neighbor. I have fucking no

28:03

idea who they are. And I was telling President should

28:05

be on the show, and he's like, oh, they didn't want me on the

28:07

show. But I think because you're

28:09

too big right now on the show, so

28:12

I would have done it. You got to understand the show is

28:14

it's just starting. It's the first season. It's

28:17

trying to get.

28:17

Its leg and I think it's the second season.

28:20

It's the first season to me. I just started watching

28:22

it. So I kind of think as it starts

28:24

to get bigger and more people like me find

28:27

it and start talking about it, they'll

28:29

need bigger celebrities.

28:30

I e.

28:31

They'll grab you for the show. But you'd

28:33

be great on it. I mean, you'd be fantastic on the

28:35

show. And it's really a fun watch. I

28:37

enjoy it. I mean, Kellen's got it on twenty

28:39

four hours a day, so she's burning through all of them.

28:41

Oh, I would love to do it, but I don't.

28:43

Think you'd be good on me. You'd be

28:45

very good. I mean it's a lot of gamesmanship,

28:47

which I think you'd be very good at, and you really

28:50

have to act a lot of these people. You

28:52

just like you're watching, You're like it's like playing

28:55

cards. It's like you could see the people's tell

28:57

You're like, that person's definitely a trader.

29:00

I just know by watching.

29:01

I did that on Celebrity Big Brother. There

29:03

was a part.

29:04

Where I pretended

29:06

to quit the show and I was very convincing

29:09

and I ended up not quitting

29:11

the show.

29:12

Right, it's a fun show.

29:14

If you guys aren't watching it, I think maybe Netflix.

29:17

I don't even know where the fuck it is, but it's good.

29:18

Peacock. Is it on Peacock?

29:20

You're right, one hundred percent, it's on Peacock. I saw her

29:22

logging on the other day.

29:23

Yeah.

29:24

I want to thank a few folks

29:26

that have signed up recently for our

29:28

Patreon. Thank you for going

29:31

to patreon dot com, slash

29:33

Perez Hilton and supporting.

29:35

Thank you, Lynn Dees, Caitlin

29:39

Vaughn, Danielle or Teas,

29:42

but enjoy the show, get a bonus episode,

29:44

and actually even last night is a little

29:46

thank you for all of our Patreon supporters.

29:48

I did a really brief initial thoughts

29:51

on the Usher halftime show performance,

29:53

which people enjoyed watching before Booker

29:55

and I talked about it today.

29:57

All Right, here we go.

29:57

Some calls, Hey Perez, Hey Booker, Elvi Jersey

30:01

calling because I have to recommend

30:03

the greatest night in pop It's

30:05

on Netflix. It's about the making

30:07

of We Are the World where Mine,

30:10

Ritchie and Michael Jackson and the

30:12

most famous, powerful and actually

30:15

talented celebrities of the ladies.

30:17

I love her telling it like we don't remember it.

30:20

We saw the video on TV when it happened.

30:22

Okay, we know what it is, but

30:24

everybody else may not.

30:25

I appreciate it.

30:27

I do too.

30:27

I'm not making fun of her, It's just I'm kind of making fun

30:29

of our age.

30:30

He's got together and wrote a really awesome,

30:33

powerful song, Write Up Your Alley.

30:35

I've heard nothing but great things about

30:37

it. And they talk about Huey

30:39

Lewis. I saw this one part because Huey Lewis's

30:42

part was supposed to be Prince's part, and

30:45

Sheila E supposedly was

30:47

brought in just to get Prince

30:49

there, and Chilae has been upset

30:52

about it for all of these years because she

30:54

felt like she was used by Lina Ritchiean.

30:57

So it's a really fascinating

30:59

story about how Prince couldn't make

31:01

it and typical Prince, like

31:03

he's March just to his own fucking drum.

31:05

I don't remember. So Prince was not in it.

31:07

Prince wasn't in it. No, Michael was in it.

31:10

Well, I think Prince and Michael Jackson did

31:12

not get along back in the eighties.

31:13

It was like Michael Jackson versus Prince.

31:16

That's how the press always kind of

31:18

threw it out there. I mean, they'd met before,

31:20

and they'd done things before, and there are some

31:22

stories about that I've heard on podcasts.

31:25

Maybe that was a little exaggerated, but

31:27

I think everything was a competition

31:29

with those guys back then, with everyone,

31:32

you know, it was all about blowing the other people off

31:34

of the stage. But I could go on

31:36

forever about a lot of that Prince stuff.

31:38

Bob Dylan was in it, and apparently like Bob

31:40

Dylan was freaking out because he didn't

31:42

know how to sing in the confines

31:45

of what they wanted him to do, and

31:47

Stevie Wonder supposedly sat

31:50

him down and said, I want you to sing it

31:52

like this, and Stevie Wonder did his Bob

31:54

Dylan impression, and then Bob Dylan

31:56

mimics what Stevie Wonder did, and that's

31:59

what you hear in the song. So it's it's a

32:01

bunch of little stories like that. I'll

32:03

get to watch the whole thing. I've clearly seen

32:05

enough clips where I can tell you pretty much what it's

32:07

about. But it does look like a fantastic

32:10

doc.

32:10

Hi Booker High Press. It's Tanya from La

32:13

I Am with Booker.

32:15

I'm so.

32:17

At this point, she's almost, dare

32:20

I say, inching towards overexposure

32:22

like a Kardashian Like it's too much

32:25

constant all the time. And why

32:27

does she behave like she's a seventeen

32:30

year old accepting her first grand like, knock

32:32

it off, you're a pro, You've been there before,

32:34

You've done this before. You ignored

32:36

Selenion, You look ridiculous.

32:39

I don't think she ignored Celie

32:41

Dial. I think she just was overwhelmed

32:44

by the moment. But I guess to her

32:46

point, it's not her first time in that

32:48

moment. I still would have freaked out that

32:50

Celi Dion was in front of me, but that's

32:52

just me. But it's hard to judge her for

32:54

that. I still think it's funny that Selene

32:56

was standing there, she didn't know what the fact that the

32:59

one more call.

33:00

Hey, Chris and Bres.

33:02

My name is David and I'm calling from New York. And my

33:04

comment is in regards to what

33:07

Booker said around from

33:09

people being kind of just viewing

33:11

Taylorship as he did, which was, Oh,

33:13

it's all about me and me, and that's how most people

33:15

felt. And I actually disagree. I think that.

33:18

Last call wasn't the call to lead into your

33:20

point with but let's continue.

33:22

I agree with Perez Booker, you are

33:24

not most people. You are an industry

33:26

insider. You've been in the business in

33:29

multiple facets of it, so I think,

33:31

although you might sometimes feel like

33:33

that your most people, and that's

33:35

maybe what's really helped you in your

33:37

career. I actually think like you have a

33:40

very critical lens because of the amount

33:42

of industry insider information and

33:44

knowledge that you have, So I actually don't agree

33:46

that you are most people, and.

33:47

I'll let him continue. And I don't disagree

33:49

with that point either. I

33:51

am somewhat of an insider and I have

33:54

access that most people will never have.

33:56

But I also can read the tea leaves.

33:58

I can also read the articles that are out

34:00

there. I can also listen to the calls that come

34:03

in on this show. For me not acknowledging

34:05

their point of view, I wouldn't be doing my job.

34:08

You just heard what I think about Taylor Swift.

34:10

I just took up for her for the whole thing with Celine

34:12

die On ten seconds ago. I don't think

34:14

she did anything wrong. I think she was overwhelmed.

34:17

However, I do think it's funny. And I also

34:19

can see how people say, well, it is a

34:21

little me me me like her up there, everybody.

34:24

My favorite number is thirteen.

34:26

Oh wait wait wait the Chiefs one

34:29

from the thirteen yard line.

34:31

Oh god, stop it. I mean that's

34:33

another thing, though, Perez. I mean, this is

34:35

a grown person constantly telling

34:37

me her favorite number, what's next?

34:39

Your favorite crayon color? Like, come

34:41

on, what are we fucking nine? You're in your thirties,

34:44

Okay, let's stop with the fucking favorite number.

34:46

Nonsense.

34:47

Seriously, Miley Cyrus has

34:49

a favorite number two.

34:50

That's kind of where people think that she was

34:53

throwing a little shade that way, like

34:55

my favorite number three, and I'm in seat

34:57

three. I mean I think she was trolling

34:59

her a lit a little bit. You know whatever,

35:01

Let's finish this because I like this guy's point of views

35:04

though well.

35:04

And I don't actually think

35:06

that as most people felt that

35:09

Taylor was making it all about me, me me. I

35:11

think she was just celebrating a huge

35:13

feat. I love the podcast.

35:14

Yeah I think she was too, but it did feel

35:17

a little me me me by all the points I just made. But

35:19

whatever, we get a great to disagree. I love your call, love your

35:21

point of view. Let's wrap this baby up.

35:22

Thank you all, appreciate you, and hopefully

35:25

we can see some new listeners

35:27
