2:09

right. A few people on the

2:11

Patreon wanted to ask about the

2:13

poker tournament I was in and

2:16

how I did and I'm honestly shocked. I

2:18

did better than I thought I would better

2:20

than I thought you would. There

2:23

were 76 people in

2:25

the tournament and my problem

2:27

is I took a book or is

2:30

fucking advice. What he strayed me

2:32

in the wrong direction. I did he said

2:34

to play a conservative and I did it

2:36

to conservative. Well, I said to a point

2:38

and he was texting me during it and

2:40

I told him I said the blinds are

2:42

going to increase and you're going to have

2:44

to get aggressive soon because once those blinds

2:46

go up, you got to find a hand

2:49

that you could win. This is when they

2:51

start clearing people out and it's exactly what

2:53

happened, but you were playing against probably pros

2:55

at this point. I mean, I will that

2:57

are actually really good at playing cards. You

2:59

did very well by not going out on the

3:01

first table on the first three hands. You did great.

3:04

I think my problem is I should have been more

3:06

aggressive earlier with hands that I knew I was going

3:08

to win where I like had three of a kind.

3:10

Yes, you should have for three of a guy. I

3:12

know I should have put all my money in or

3:15

not all but like I should have put more than

3:17

I did. I was still a little too conservative because

3:19

my mind was like, I just want to come in

3:21

ninth. I want to come in ninth because I come

3:23

in the ninth. I can win some money. A newbie

3:26

is not going to come in ninth. I told you

3:28

that to begin with. Well, there were 76 people

3:30

that competed and I lost somewhere in the 50s range

3:32

and three other people in my table went out before

3:34

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

3:36

I did well. I think you did very well, but

3:39

you were living in the clouds if you thought that

3:41

you were going to get to the final table. You

3:43

were not going to. I thought I would. I don't

3:45

know. I was like the odds

3:47

are like one in seven something. You know,

3:49

it's not awful. Oh, those

3:51

are not the odds. They're not

3:53

the odds. They're not the odds when you don't

3:56

know how to play cards. You know, you took

3:58

one lesson. No one takes one lesson. It's

4:00

like taking one lesson and saying, okay,

4:02

I'm ready to fly the space shuttle.

4:04

Okay, there's a lot, two cards. My

4:06

big takeaway for me is that betting

4:08

is very important. Anyways,

4:10

there I had some linens with people who

4:13

never believed this. So I go to the

4:15

bathroom during a break and I see this

4:17

guy and, I don't know, whatever, he looks

4:20

vaguely familiar, but I don't put two and

4:22

two together. So I'm in the bathroom and

4:24

then I go pee and then

4:26

I go back to my table and as I'm walking

4:28

back to the table, the same guy stops

4:30

me and said, hey Perez, it's

4:33

Mark D'Amelio. Just wanted to introduce

4:35

myself. That's the father of that

4:37

influencer, Charlie D'Amelio. Well, there's two

4:39

of them, I guess, but yeah.

4:41

Yeah, yeah, both of them, right.

4:43

And I'm sure you remember, but

4:45

if not, I definitely think a

4:47

lot of our listeners remember that

4:49

very embarrassing cringe video I posted

4:51

in December of 2020 when

4:54

I was kicked off TikTok for

4:56

the first time, I was crying

4:58

and literally begging Charlie

5:00

D'Amelio and her father for help.

5:03

So I don't, like why did this

5:06

guy even say hello to me? Like

5:08

what was the point? I'm thinking, is

5:10

this a power move? Is that working?

5:12

He was, I DM'd him, I messaged

5:14

him, I publicly

5:16

pleaded with him and he ghosted me,

5:18

ignored me. Why even say hello to

5:21

me? Well Perez, I mean, I think

5:23

most of us that you couldn't have

5:25

been serious with all your crying in

5:28

here. I know because

5:30

you're a mental patient, but I'm sure

5:32

that he did not believe that you

5:34

were as nuts as you were at

5:37

that point, especially with something so

5:39

stupid and silly. I don't

5:41

blame him for staying away from you with a 10

5:43

foot pole on that. I would have too, I would

5:45

have laughed and said, this is a bit. A bit,

5:47

I was asking for help. What is there a bit

5:49

with that? Getting back on

5:51

TikTok. Yeah, it was important, it

5:53

still is. Anyways,

5:55

I think that was either to,

5:58

I think it was a power move. You think? I

6:00

think so. Is the guy

6:02

savvy enough to make a power? What's the

6:05

move? What's he getting out of it? He's

6:07

like, oh, whatever. Let's move on. There's so

6:09

much to talk about. Anyways, it rubbed me

6:11

the wrong way. You're talking about Carly Demelia's

6:13

dad. Also this influencer, Bryce Hall, came up

6:15

to me and he's popular with a certain

6:17

demographic and he just wanted me

6:19

to know he's a good guy. Yeah, a good

6:21

guy that gets into fights all the time. He's

6:24

like, what am I supposed to do if somebody

6:26

comes up and pushes me? I'm like, walk away,

6:28

dude. So yeah, that was interesting. Walk

6:30

away. I also

6:33

went to this event at

6:35

Durango Casino, Durango Resort here

6:37

in Vegas called Power Slap

6:41

from Dana White of UFC. It's

6:44

literally what it sounds. It's

6:46

men and women slapping

6:49

the life out of each other.

6:51

I had the best time. You did. You

6:54

liked it, huh? It was so much fun. It's

6:57

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

6:59

to watch the videos of it. Watching

7:01

it in person must have been, does it

7:03

make you feel squirmy and stuff when you're

7:05

watching it? I know, I fucking loved it.

7:07

I was like, hit him, knock him out,

7:09

hit him harder. That's

7:12

funny. One guy started bleeding and

7:14

everything. Sure. I'm

7:16

like, how did their teeth not fall out?

7:18

I don't know. It's just all insane, but

7:20

I loved it. Had so much fun. I

7:23

also made it to this

7:26

Uber One party where Post

7:28

Malone performed. I guess this will

7:30

be a good segue to just start talking about the

7:32

Super Bowl because we'll talk Post

7:34

Malone at that party and his pre-game

7:36

performance. He kind of started off the

7:39

whole thing on TV, the first great

7:41

moment of the day. Post

7:45

performed and yes, he

7:47

uses auto-tune when performing.

7:51

God, he made so much money because it

7:53

was to track. He did not have a

7:55

band with him, so he pocketed that entire

7:57

check, but he was just so effusive. I

8:00

guess it's a good word like just

8:02

radiating good vibes and like I

8:05

had never seen him perform before and Actually,

8:08

what really sealed it afterwards for

8:10

me was when he was done

8:13

performing He literally had

8:15

his sound guy come take off

8:17

his mic pack and ears And

8:19

he went out into the audience

8:21

and started taking photos and videos

8:23

with everybody. Yeah fucking love. I

8:25

love him I'm like the

8:27

biggest Post Malone fan now and even

8:31

more so after watching his

8:33

Super Bowl performance because Yes,

8:36

he also used auto-tune during his Super Bowl

8:38

performance, but I think it was very minimal

8:40

I don't think it was a lot of

8:42

auto-tune No, he does live performances like if

8:44

you remember back in the pandemic when they

8:46

did the entire Nirvana performance It was amazing.

8:49

There's no auto-tune. He was just playing in

8:51

a band. He's good You know cuz I

8:53

always thought that like he would sound like

8:55

crap without auto-tune and it was nice to

8:57

hear him Real sort of

8:59

speak and I loved he totally transformed

9:02

that traditional song. I loved it

9:04

It was a real highlight. I

9:06

actually this might shock you enjoyed

9:08

him more than Reba There's nothing

9:10

shocking about that Reba was so

9:12

boring. Yeah, I mean, I guess

9:14

it's okay for some people to

9:16

go down as a non-memorable Performance

9:19

like you took the whatever the press

9:21

from it. You didn't embarrass yourself You

9:24

got the clout of being a part

9:26

of a Super Bowl, but it was

9:28

just so boring No, but yeah, but

9:30

I'll take it I'll take it cuz better to

9:32

have a boring national anthem than about for than a

9:34

Fergie one You know what I mean did Fergie suck.

9:36

I don't recall. I don't remember that. Oh my god

9:38

I remember it. I think it was like some basketball

9:41

game and she did like a jazz interpretation

9:43

of the She

9:48

could think yeah, really take her face off. She

9:50

just tried to do something different It's just go

9:52

out there and sing the dumb song. No one's

9:54

there to hear you sing the song They're there

9:56

for the damn game. The more I think about

9:58

it. How do you? I guess

10:01

not bad but like a wrong choice national

10:03

anthem is not the worst thing ever because

10:05

like I think that fergie National anthem now

10:07

that we still talk about it. We still

10:09

remember it. That's fucking cool It's

10:11

the bad that everyone remembers It's like

10:13

Roseanne Barr at the Cubs game Doing

10:15

take me out to the ballgame and

10:17

you know, everybody still remembers that and

10:19

talks about it It was horrible But

10:21

that's kind of what you want you

10:23

go out there unless you're a powerhouse

10:25

like Whitney who did some sort of

10:27

thing that will never Forget. Yeah, it's

10:29

hard to do that So if you're not

10:31

gonna do that, like you said, don't pull a

10:33

fergie Just go out there and sing your song

10:36

but post Malone no pressure You know, he was

10:38

pre game and kind of just started it off

10:40

You were sitting down and you're like, oh, this

10:42

is cool. And it's like you said he just

10:44

radiates that thing He should look into a couple

10:46

more tattoos though There's

10:49

a couple pieces of real estate on his face

10:51

He can tackle and Andra day was fabulous as

10:53

well. And before we get to all the good

10:55

stuff Las Vegas man, I

10:58

don't think there's a better city in

11:00

the world to throw events of this

11:02

scale It should be there every year.

11:04

Yeah, that's a great it should be

11:06

I almost wish they didn't put a

11:08

team there And they would have just

11:10

built a stadium and like had a

11:12

rotating game every week in that stadium

11:14

like let's say the Chiefs and Whomever

11:16

the 49ers fine, you know one game

11:18

every week should just be in Vegas

11:20

for your fan base to go there

11:23

number one And everything was

11:25

perfect. It's just like everybody there knew

11:27

what they were doing. They do that,

11:29

you know That's their

11:31

lives events and God it came off

11:33

without a hitch. Although I like that we

11:35

have the Raiders Hopefully Raiders do better

11:37

next season. Yeah All right Before we get

11:40

to usher and I know you all want

11:42

us to we have to talk about the

11:44

Taylor Swift show of it All yeah,

11:46

and even before Taylor got there over Hey

11:51

We don't even need that guy the

11:53

jack kid or whatever his name is

11:55

It's in college that Taylor's threatening to

11:57

sue because over six thousand people were

12:00

tracking Taylor's jet from Japan

12:02

to the United States. Yes.

12:05

Apparently, you can see the number of people

12:07

tracking the jet. That's pretty wild. She gave

12:09

the jet some like cute nickname or whatever.

12:11

It was like the football era, I think.

12:14

But she got a lot of criticism

12:16

even before leaving Japan because she

12:19

was not going to miss the Super Bowl.

12:21

She was not risking anything. She

12:23

had her private plane and

12:25

a backup on standby

12:28

in case anything happened.

12:30

So they had to fly two private planes to

12:32

her. Come on, really? Yes. She

12:35

had two private planes flown to where she was in Japan in case

12:37

something happened with the first one.

12:40

Thankfully, she made it to LA

12:42

on time, flew out to Vegas

12:44

Sunday morning, arrived at Allegiant Stadium

12:46

with her posse including Blake Lively,

12:48

her mother, her father and Ice

12:50

Spice who in her own little

12:52

way kind of also stole the

12:55

show because I loved watching all

12:57

of the cutaways. Of course, there

12:59

is a camera dedicated just to

13:01

Taylor and her suite. It

13:03

seems like Ice Spice has no idea how

13:06

football is played because everybody was explaining to

13:08

her what was happening and the rules of

13:10

football. By the way, I hate that. I

13:12

hate when you're sitting there trying to watch

13:14

a game and you got to explain every

13:17

goddamn thing that's happened. I mean, have you

13:19

never watched football? I understand football and I'm

13:21

not like a pro. Ellen's sister yesterday, she

13:23

had no idea. I was trying to explain

13:25

first downs, those touch backs, just trying to

13:28

explain the game. A lot of people don't

13:30

understand the game. My 11-year-old son

13:32

almost, my son turns 11 later

13:35

this week, he kind of understands it. I

13:37

love it. You just pick things up. I

13:39

don't know. You watch a few games, you

13:42

got it. I loved watching Taylor. We got

13:44

so many memes from her that night from

13:46

the moment that she was put on the

13:48

jumbotron and she was playing along to the

13:50

Taylor Swift drinking game. Every time

13:52

they showed her, she would take a drink. I

13:55

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

13:57

one meme I saw, which I thought was great.

14:00

But then all of the other ones are like

14:02

the photos of her face looking all stressed

14:04

and tense because it was a real close

14:06

game. It went into overtime. It was exciting.

14:08

I got a, I got nervous. I'm like,

14:10

Oh my God, I can't handle the anxiety

14:12

of this. San Francisco missed

14:14

an extra point to lose the

14:17

Superbowl. That is just unbelievable. It

14:19

is the most gimme score. I

14:21

bet the percentage of the regular

14:23

season of extra points made, I

14:26

bet it's higher than You

14:28

know what I mean? And to have

14:30

one block, as soon as it happened,

14:32

I looked over to everybody and I

14:34

said, that point will decide this game.

14:36

Well thank God I was listening to

14:39

the commentators because when I, I understand

14:41

football, but then the rules in overtime

14:43

were different. Yeah. So I'm

14:45

like, Oh my God, this is stressful, even more stressful because

14:47

the overtime rules are different. Like, Oh my

14:49

God, Oh my God. But it was a

14:51

great game. And thankfully for Taylor Swift, the

14:54

Chiefs won. I was rooting for the 49ers

14:56

just because I liked the underdog. Chiefs were

14:58

the underdog. They had, they won last year

15:00

and they've won so many times. It was weird

15:02

to me to pick them as the underdog, you

15:04

know, and I guess it was only two points

15:07

or two and a half points, but it's Patrick

15:09

Mahomes. He's 28. He's on

15:11

pace to wipe the floor of Tom Brady,

15:13

who's been the guy that they

15:15

call the all-time greatest three Superbowls out of

15:18

the last five and be the MVP in

15:20

three of them. How do you think that

15:22

he's not going to win? Taylor's boyfriend was

15:24

asked last night after their win, you know,

15:26

his plans for the next season and if

15:28

he's going to retire and he's like, hell

15:30

no, I want that three Pete. That's never happened

15:33

before. That could be the coolest. I know. I

15:36

listened to the commentators say that I

15:38

was paying attention. Okay. Anyways,

15:40

did you just watch at home? Yeah, no,

15:42

I was so busy. Oh my God. I

15:45

was posting so much. I loved seeing Taylor

15:47

and Travis and brace and kiss. There's I

15:49

don't know. There's a lot of Taylor Swift

15:51

haters out there as much as she has

15:53

lovers. There are a lot of haters and

15:56

suck on your hateration. Okay. I

15:58

celebrate them. They made me. Happy Usher!

16:00

Here are my thoughts: I like Usher.

16:02

His iconic he's been around for fuck

16:04

him thirty years. He has so many

16:06

hits started be doesn't understand why some

16:08

people were underwhelmed with him as a

16:11

choice. There's been so many instances of

16:13

quote Legacy artist performing at the Superbowl

16:15

that haven't been a quote relevant per

16:17

se. like the i haven't had a

16:19

hit in a while but still Prince

16:21

have a hit recently when he the

16:23

home to the Superbowl Know still you

16:25

to have a hit recently when he

16:27

performed as it was no the fuck

16:29

and. I cause they're fucking cool and

16:31

I if I had to grade it

16:34

from s set a plus I'd give

16:36

it a solid be plus. Almost a

16:38

minus. Here's why I think I'd give

16:40

the exact same breed. By the way,

16:42

Okay, I was really underwhelmed with the

16:44

beginning. I love pomp and circumstance and

16:46

build up and anticipation. and it's a

16:49

started with him sit down and that's

16:51

also a little low energy like Michael

16:53

Jackson would not be sitting down to

16:55

open the Superbowl like he was at

16:57

the top there another anyways and it

16:59

for me. This is just opinion and

17:01

personal preferences. A kind of took me

17:04

out of the i didn't like seeing

17:06

had opened his segment performing on the

17:08

turf they couldn't build a walkway, a

17:10

runway. they could build a stage here

17:12

like what is that I didn't like

17:14

and the biggest problem for me with

17:16

the opening was itself too busy. There

17:18

was so much going on to the

17:20

point where it was distracting bread products.

17:22

It's not a concert, it's a half

17:24

time so a football to know I

17:26

would get and he was a needed

17:28

focus after that When. alicia keys came

17:30

on and he peeled away all of the

17:33

other people stats would things just really hone

17:35

did and became awesome and i was a

17:37

little worried for elisa first cause that first

17:39

don't see hit was a bomb wide with

17:42

was it added just the oh yeah you

17:44

watch the clip again that the she started

17:46

off like real flat like brown has like

17:48

off but that's the cops corrected herself and

17:51

might have been a sound is yes you

17:53

probably can't hear and yeah yeah cause it's

17:55

a football game is not a concert absurd

17:57

dot really put together for that but She

18:00

took the performance to the next level. That's what

18:02

everything took off. Exactly. That was the point, you

18:04

know, because then it was like not about Usher

18:06

and 100 people. And also,

18:09

I'm tired of the marching bands at

18:11

the Super Bowl. Like, can we be

18:13

a little more creative people? I think

18:15

it's just trying to fill up that

18:17

space, trying to fill up that floor.

18:19

My favorite parts of the Usher show

18:21

were when he was by himself. So

18:23

then after Alicia, it was awesome. Everything

18:25

was great for me. I loved all

18:27

the guests. I loved her. Loved seeing

18:29

my old pal, Will.i.am, and Lil Jon. And

18:31

I loved that Lil Jon got to sing a

18:33

little bit of one of his solo songs. Lil

18:35

Jon was the best part. That's when the biggest

18:38

energy. That was very big. It was energy, yeah.

18:40

When he was out there. Definitely a highlight. And

18:42

then all of this, I was like

18:44

so feeling and loving it. He ended it the

18:46

same way he began it. The ending was a

18:48

little bit of a dud. I'm like, oh, that's

18:50

it? That's the ending? Like, I

18:52

love a dramatic ending, too. Like, when

18:54

Madonna performed, and she fell off, and

18:56

went into the abyss, that was a

18:58

big diva moment. Wasn't Gaga like, thrown up

19:01

in the air, she fell off of something? Yeah,

19:03

I love all that shit. He just kind of

19:05

like, it just kind of ended. But

19:07

like I said, overall, B+, maybe even

19:09

A-, thoroughly enjoyable. He's amazing.

19:11

To be honest, I thought it was a

19:14

little long. I am there for football, and

19:16

the halftime was far too long, and you

19:18

got a dogfight of a great game going.

19:20

And I'm like, this just feels two minutes

19:22

too long. And it's funny they gave him

19:25

two minutes more. Yeah, I said that on

19:27

the Patreon on Thursday. They gave him more

19:29

time than any other halftime show performer

19:31

before. So he performed for 15 minutes

19:33

instead of the usual 13. It

19:36

felt like 30, though. And I just didn't

19:39

feel like A lot of

19:41

times he didn't get into the meat of all

19:43

of the songs for long enough. And I Get

19:45

that, it's your greatest hits real. But Every song,

19:47

I just kind of, I Wish he could get

19:50

to the hook quicker. Like I Said, it's a

19:52

fucking football game. I Just thought it was good.

19:54

I thought it was really solid. Will I Look

19:56

back at it as one of the most iconic

19:59

and best? Probably not. But it was better

20:01

than Timberlake It it's better to Brianna

20:03

last year to camp. A highlight for

20:05

me also was that Wicked commercial. Very

20:07

excited for the movie or I didn't

20:09

see that. Still pissed they're splitting it

20:11

into though that to such a cash

20:13

grab an unnecessary move. The Ben Affleck

20:15

Jello commercial was pretty funny. As good

20:17

as say you're talking about how assure

20:19

you know a so like eating Get

20:21

to the meat and potatoes and sweater

20:23

get where you're It was two or

20:25

three years ago j lo and secure.

20:27

I had just six and a half

20:29

minutes each. Basically and did more with those

20:31

six and a half minutes. I feel like

20:33

and I time to get the feeling that

20:36

they both salt. Why did by oh yeah

20:38

small amount of time they shouldn't It was

20:40

perfect. They both went out there with ten

20:42

energies of as a pack great six minutes

20:44

apiece and I enjoyed that. So you know

20:46

next year as any deaths peel it back

20:48

a low budget has I really think it

20:50

was a little too long. If you're there

20:53

for football I gotta tell you that game

20:55

must have went for some hours last night.

20:57

I just off and not believe how long

20:59

that game was intended. Because of the half

21:01

time why it also went into overtime

21:03

to but that's I'm show is a

21:05

big draw for a lot of people.

21:08

now. before we talked about beyond say

21:10

we have to go back to Ariana

21:12

for a second. A little update on

21:14

her songs. It did go to number

21:16

one this but in it's third week

21:18

yes and is at number seventeen on

21:20

the hot one hundred and projections for

21:23

this week. The hot one hundred to

21:25

come out later today have it going

21:27

down even further so like the song

21:29

is done already. I say some

21:31

songs take six months to take

21:33

off. Some happen immediately. It's a

21:35

weird way to add on a

21:38

gauge. Music Beyond Say: Had a

21:40

Superbowl halftime show commercial for Of

21:42

Horizon. It was cute funny to

21:44

see Beyond Say: try to be

21:47

humorous young fifth grade and see

21:49

surprise real these two new songs

21:51

and announced a new album. Kind

21:53

of like Taylor Swift, although I

21:56

don't know if most people thought

21:58

that I didn't Yeah, How could

22:00

that Afterwards She goes well. she announced her

22:02

new album. I said when she goes at

22:04

the end of that commercial I go our

22:06

that didn't print I thought you just gotta

22:08

be funny or trying to be funny like

22:11

out it's launch a new album. She was

22:13

saying she's wanting a new our yeah I

22:15

know people didn't get it. That's when things

22:17

like Taylor at the Grammys Everybody listened and

22:19

was aware. The new album from beyond Say

22:21

asked to comes out March twenty nine. So

22:23

next month and just six weeks for let's

22:25

just go ahead and the When album of

22:27

the Year next year at the Grammys because

22:29

that. Says these are the same the

22:32

Grammys at night because also sees

22:34

and trying something very different for

22:36

her and I do believe that

22:38

Grammys like that. Any elegant people

22:40

like seeing others try new things

22:42

even if it isn't the best.

22:44

It's a bit of a country

22:46

album and country inspired country pop

22:48

country ballad see released to preview

22:50

songs already last night in conjunction

22:52

with the release. One is called

22:54

Texas Hold Them which I like

22:56

it. It's solid Lady Gaga references

22:58

to Hold Him and poker. face

23:00

correct yes it's not like and

23:02

break my soul fall you know

23:04

it's not like an obvious over

23:06

your head smashed i don't know

23:08

if it's gonna be a hair

23:10

but i liked it i enjoyed

23:13

that one i haven't heard of

23:15

yet i'll take a lesson i

23:17

did enjoy and then she released

23:19

another one called sixteen carriages which

23:21

is fine that's more like a

23:23

valid assists five it's out this

23:25

it's like reba doing the national

23:27

anthem there's nothing wrong with is

23:29

that the on bad but it's

23:31

not like i'm not excited for

23:34

the album because of that one

23:36

song with speaking of musicians com

23:38

yea west had a pop of

23:40

show last night in vegas charging

23:42

dumb asses three hundred dollars a

23:44

ticket to watch him perform ads

23:46

are i did not go thankfully

23:48

he also is so disrespectful to

23:50

this fellow musicians and i think

23:53

the rules the law should change

23:55

because the music industry somehow has

23:57

these loopholes that allow art is

23:59

too I guess just pay a penalty

24:01

or fine. You know, like if you release

24:03

a song that has a sample and you

24:05

don't clear it, the worst that'll happen is

24:08

you'll just pay all of the money you

24:10

make from that song to the songwriters. And

24:12

Kanye clearly doesn't give a shit about making

24:14

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

24:17

I'm gonna use whatever sample I want, even

24:19

if I don't get permission from it. On

24:21

this new album of his, two different people

24:23

said no to Kanye and he went ahead

24:26

and still used it. Ozzy Osbourne refused Kanye,

24:28

did not grant permission, and Donna Summer's

24:30

husband, Bruce Sedano, also refused,

24:32

and both of those songs

24:34

made it onto the new

24:36

Kanye album. Wow. I

24:38

mean, you're an artist, how would you feel if

24:40

other artists did that to your music or like,

24:43

I don't know, I feel like permission shouldn't

24:45

matter. I don't disagree. Lame balls. And Ozzy

24:48

came out and said, you know, no, I

24:50

did not sign off on this. But he

24:52

also dressed up as Kanye for Halloween. He

24:54

did? I think he did, I think it

24:56

was this year. I didn't know that. Maybe

24:58

the year before, but he did at some

25:01

point. I saw that online, the hypocrisy of

25:03

it all. I'm like, come on. Well, it's

25:05

still his song, you know? And by the

25:07

way, speaking of the Kardashians, did they go

25:09

to the game? Well, I was about to

25:11

get to that. Speaking of the Kardashians, I

25:13

don't think I saw Kim there. She might've

25:15

been there, you know, hiding. She wasn't hiding.

25:17

The NFL was hiding her. Taylor Swift was

25:19

there, okay? They were not gonna put a

25:21

Kardashian on TV. For a billion

25:23

dollars, they weren't gonna make it on the TV.

25:25

That's my guess. She might've been there, I'm not

25:28

sure, they all were in town

25:30

for the Super Bowl. They probably got

25:32

paid to go somewhere even. Yeah, Kim

25:34

was there with Odell Beckham Jr., her

25:37

new man, and they're soft launching that

25:39

relationship. Kourtney was not here though. She

25:41

was in Australia with her kids because

25:44

Travis is there with Blink-182, and

25:47

she must have a really good relationship

25:49

with Scott Disick because I would

25:52

not let my kids play hooky from

25:54

school to go on tour with Blink-182.

25:57

Aren't they homeschooled? Are They go to this one school in

25:59

the Valley? Can see the name, but

26:01

if not, Google it, you could find

26:03

out on. I mean they got enough

26:05

money to take a teacher with them

26:07

snarl. Enjoy that. By the way, so

26:09

Bieber was in town. Oh yes, shit,

26:12

I forgot to talk about that. Bieber

26:14

was in town and I'm glad he

26:16

did not perform at Asher because he

26:18

would have socked. Okay, let's be honest

26:20

as a society though, because first of

26:22

all I just knew he wouldn't commit

26:24

to it because beepers the kids cancelled

26:26

multiple tours as term. he is lazy.

26:28

He's got a lot. Of issues and

26:31

he would not have been able or

26:33

willing or wanting. You're excited to put

26:35

in all of the rehearsal necessary to

26:37

do something great for the Superbowl A

26:40

feel that and also maybe his nerves

26:42

or whatever might have gotten the best

26:44

of him. He was in the stadium

26:46

watching but I'm I'm thankful he did

26:49

not take part. Did they show him

26:51

because I don't recall seeing him anywhere?

26:53

I know that the Nfl did so

26:55

him on their social media. yeah I

26:58

didn't seem on the broadcast. yeah I

27:00

was watching cooking. so I'm exactly exactly

27:02

I was watching and also listening to

27:04

and I was working as lot like

27:07

I was watching one hundred percent the

27:09

whole time I was listening and watching.

27:11

I only Alex but yeah don't know

27:13

maybe they showed a maybe they didn't

27:16

He did hit up a few parties

27:18

and is is in join the the

27:20

same his life in Vegas and Superbowl

27:22

weekend or a some non Superbowl stuff.

27:25

I saw these photos that made me

27:27

so happy of Concept and Real Housewives

27:29

of. Salt Lake City Alarm

27:31

and Zen Saw and fellow

27:34

convict and fraudster Elizabeth Holmes.

27:36

The two of them are

27:38

in the same detention facility,

27:41

the same prison and their

27:43

friends, and somehow this is

27:45

crazy. There are paparazzi photos

27:48

a dab in. the

27:51

house right i mean maybe a security

27:54

guard the ominous their guard is probably

27:56

allowed to have their phone i'm sure

27:58

they're probably not allow to take a

28:00

picture. And sell that. Somebody around that

28:03

one. Yeah. All right. Before we get

29:28

a Patreon supporter asked

29:30

us about that traders show

29:32

and you actually are watching

29:34

it, right? Love it. What

29:37

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

29:39

what's the gist of it? Yeah, well it's Survivor like

29:41

set in a house. Well first of all they have

29:43

Alan Cummings who pretends that he's Scottish the whole time.

29:46

He is very fucking weird. No, he

29:48

is Scottish. Well, but he's the house

29:50

nanny, whatever the fuck it is. But

29:52

he's over acting. He's playing like the

29:54

caretaker. Oh, okay. But he's like acting.

29:56

He's like hosting and yet acting at

29:58

the same time. it's very odd home.

30:00

but the whole premise of the show

30:02

is you have these are you have

30:04

a group of people are faithful right?

30:06

So they are. I don't have it

30:08

started like twelve people and then there's

30:11

a group of people that are the

30:13

traders and that three people. Nobody knows

30:15

who anybody years. and if the traders

30:17

end up at the end if even

30:19

one trader ends up in the whole

30:21

finale, it's than they get the money.

30:23

but of the followers of they get

30:25

at the end and they've figured out

30:27

how to weed everybody out. They get

30:29

the money so. And I may have

30:31

bots that a little bit because I kind

30:33

of side watch this and that but every

30:35

time I sit down for twenty minutes for

30:37

it it's very good and of talent. Bread

30:39

is all celebrities and sex reality show people

30:41

on the show and I don't know who

30:43

fucking any of the martyrs like I knew

30:45

already from the Bachelor. Everybody else may as

30:47

well be my neighbor. I have club had

30:49

no idea who they are, no surprises to

30:51

be on the show and either gun they

30:53

didn't want me on the show. What? I

30:55

think because you're too big right now Add

30:57

on to say oh wow I would have

30:59

today. Understand the show is it's just starting.

31:02

It's the first season they're trying to is

31:04

trying to get it's leg. I think it's

31:06

the second season it's the first season the

31:08

Me: I just started watching it so I

31:10

cannot think is it starts to get bigger

31:12

and more people like me find it and

31:15

start talking about it will need bigger celebrities.

31:17

I either grab you for the show for

31:19

to be great on and I mean you'd

31:21

be fantastic on the show and it's really

31:23

have fun was I enjoy it? I mean

31:25

Gallon got it on twenty four hours a

31:27

day as his barnum through all of them.

31:30

While I would love to do a pull

31:32

out of the bigger not be if you'd

31:34

be very good I mean it's a lot

31:36

of gamesmanship which I think you'd be very

31:38

good Added you really have to act a

31:40

lot of these people. they you just like

31:43

your watch your life. It's like playing cards.

31:45

It's like you could see the people tell

31:47

you like that person. Definitely a traitor like

31:49

you Just know by watching I did that

31:51

on Celebrity Big Brother. There was a part

31:53

where I pretended to quit the show and

31:56

I was very convincing and I ended up

31:58

not quitting the show right Specific. It's

32:00

a punch out together. watching it

32:02

I think maybe Netflix and was

32:05

been a where the fuck it

32:07

is but it's good. Pizza is

32:09

on Piquant. You're right, hundred percent

32:11

is our because I saw her

32:13

blogging on the other day. Amount:

32:15

I want to thank a few

32:17

32:20

32:32

night. As little thank you for all

32:34

of our patriot supporters, I did a

32:36

really brief initial thoughts on that usher

32:38

half time show performance, which people enjoyed

32:41

watching before Booker and I talked about

32:43

it today Aren't here we go supposed?

32:45

Paper. As him of the album

32:47

jersey kind because I have

32:49

to recommend the Greatest Night

32:51

and Pop It's on Netflix

32:53

is about the making of

32:55

the Art of Wow were

32:57

non minority and Michael Jackson

32:59

and the Most Famous Powerful

33:01

and actually counted celebrities on.

33:03

Away. I love her Delegate like we don't

33:06

remember we saw the video a Tv would

33:08

have happened. We know who has. Been

33:11

everybody else may not be. I appreciate it. I

33:13

did. You are not make fun of her, it's

33:15

just kind of making fun of our age. He's.

33:17

Got together and brought a really

33:19

awesome powerful song right up your

33:21

alley. I've heard nothing but great

33:23

things about it and they talk about

33:26

sui Louis to sell this one part

33:28

this Huey Lewis his part was supposed

33:30

to be princes parts and ceiling he

33:33

supposedly was brought in just to get

33:35

Prince there and Sheila He has been

33:37

upset about it for all of these

33:39

years because she felt like she was

33:42

used by lie to fit see it

33:44

though. It's a really fascinating story about

33:46

how Prince couldn't make it as typical

33:49

prince like his part is to his

33:51

own forgive drum. Reddit remember so princes

33:53

not any prints wasn't in it Now

33:55

Michael was that it will. I think

33:57

Prince Michael Jackson did not get along

33:59

back. In eighties it was like Michael

34:01

Jackson versus Press. That's how the press always

34:03

kind of threw it out there. I mean

34:06

they'd met of for and they'd done things

34:08

before in. There are some stories about that

34:10

I've heard on podcasts. Maybe that was a

34:13

little exaggerated, but I think everything was a

34:15

competition with those guys back then with everyone

34:17

you know was all about blowing the other

34:19

people off of the stage, but I could

34:22

go on forever about a lot of that

34:24

print stuff Bob Dylan was. Then it's and

34:26

apparently like Bob Dylan was freaking out because

34:28

he didn't know how to sing. In

34:31

the confines of what they wanted him to

34:33

do. and Stevie Wonder supposedly sat him down.

34:35

and that's I want you to sing it

34:37

like this. And Stevie Wonder did his Bob

34:40

Dylan impression and in Bob Dylan mimics with

34:42

this he wondered did and that's with you.

34:44

Here in the songs though, it's it's a

34:47

but a little stories like that, I'll get

34:49

to watch the whole thing. I've clearly seen

34:51

enough clips where I could tell you pretty

34:53

much what it's about, but our it does

34:56

look like a fantastic. I'm.

35:04

Just. Trying

35:06

to change or it's over. It's to

35:09

search. Like it's

35:11

too much. Prefer

35:18

scrambling, not pro

35:20

sports. Ignored.

35:25

Us Pixies ignored the lead deal i

35:27

take scissors was overwhelmed by the moment.

35:29

But I guess to her point it's

35:31

not her first time. In that moments

35:34

I still would have freaked out that

35:36

Celine Dion was in front of me,

35:38

but that's just me. but I it's

35:40

hard to judge her for that. I

35:43

still think it's funny that could lead

35:45

was standing. Know if the fact that

35:47

there's one more call Chris and name's

35:49

David and I'm calling from New York

35:51

and my comment in regards to what

35:54

book are sat around. People

35:56

being kind of just doing. Taylor said

35:58

as he did which. was, oh,

36:00

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

36:02

most people felt. And I actually disagree, I think.

36:04

That last call wasn't the call to lead into

36:06

your point with, but let's continue. And

36:09

I agree with Perez. Booker, you are

36:11

not most people. You are an industry

36:13

insider. You've been in the business in

36:16

multiple facets of it. So I think,

36:18

although you might sometimes feel like that

36:20

you're most people, and that's maybe what's

36:23

really helped you in your career, I

36:25

actually think you have a very critical

36:27

lens because of the amount of industry

36:30

insider information and knowledge that you have. So

36:32

I actually don't agree that you are most

36:34

people. And I'll let him continue. And I

36:36

don't disagree with that point either. I am

36:38

somewhat of an insider, and I have access

36:40

that most people will never have. But I

36:42

also can read the tea leaves. I can

36:44

also read the articles that are out there.

36:46

I can also listen to the calls that

36:48

come in on this show. For me not

36:51

acknowledging their point of view, I wouldn't be

36:53

doing my job. You just heard what I

36:55

think about Taylor Swift. I just took up

36:57

for her for the whole thing with Celine

36:59

Dion 10 seconds ago. I don't think she

37:01

did anything wrong. I think she was overwhelmed.

37:03

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

37:05

also can see how people say, well, it

37:07

is a little me, me, me. Like her

37:09

up there, hey, everybody, my favorite number is

37:12

13. Oh, wait, wait,

37:14

wait. The chief's one from the 13 yard line.

37:17

Oh, god, stop it. I mean, that's

37:19

another thing though, Perez. I mean, this

37:22

is a grown person constantly telling me

37:24

her favorite number. What's next, your favorite

37:26

crayon color? Like, come on, what are

37:28

we, fucking nine? You're in your 30s. OK,

37:31

let's stop with the fucking favorite

37:33

number nonsense. Seriously. Miley Cyrus has

37:35

a favorite number too? That's

37:37

kind of where people think that she was

37:39

throwing a little shade that way. Like, my

37:41

favorite number is three, and I'm in seat

37:43

three. I mean, I think she was trolling

37:46

her a little bit. You know, whatever. Let's

37:48

finish this, because I like this guy's point

37:50

of view. Well, and I don't

37:52

actually think that, as most

37:54

people felt, that Taylor was making

37:56

it all about me, Mimi. I think she was

37:58

just celebrating a huge. I love

38:01

the podcast. Yeah, I think she was too, but it did

38:03

feel a little me me me by all the points I

38:05

just made, but whatever we can agree to disagree. I love

38:07

your call. I love your point of view. Let's wrap this

38:09

baby up. Thank you all. Appreciate you.

38:55

in the early 80s, Ario

38:58

Speedwagon's airplane made an unannounced

39:00

middle-of-the-night landing. This is my friend Kyle

39:03

McLaughlin, the star of Twin Peaks. And

39:06

he's telling me about how he discovered a

39:08

real-life Twin Peaks in rural North Carolina, not

39:10

far from where he filmed Blue Velvet. What

39:12

was on the plane was copious amounts of drugs coming

39:15

in from South America. Supposedly

39:17

Pablo Escobar went looking for other spots.

39:19

Quiet, out of the way places to

39:21

bring in his cocaine. My

39:26

name is Joshua Davis, and I'm an investigative

39:28

reporter. Kyle and I

39:30

talk all the time about the strange things we

39:32

come across, but nothing was quite as strange as

39:35

what we found in Varnam Town, North Carolina. There's

39:38

crooked cops, brother against brother. Everyone's

39:41

got a story to tell, but does the truth

39:43

even exist? Welcome
