Hello, everyone, back
0:04
here on the Run Burgundy podcast,
0:06
and yes, it's Hollywood's
0:08
biggest night, the two thousand
0:11
twenty one Academy Awards. Stars
0:14
are starting to arrive on the Red Carpet,
0:16
and I'll be here along with Carolina
0:19
to get you all the pre shows scoop
0:21
on who will be taking home a
0:23
little man tonight called Oscar?
0:27
What what are you doing? What do
0:29
you mean everything you just said in your intro?
0:32
It sounds like, do you
0:34
think you're hosting the Red Carpet pre show
0:36
to the Academy Awards. This
0:38
doesn't make any sense. We're just doing
0:41
the podcast. Okay, way
0:43
to roll along with my banter, Carolina?
0:45
Did I miss something? See? This
0:47
is why I asked if we could get Lisa Gibbons for
0:50
this episode? Did Did anyone ever
0:52
try to call Lisa Gibbons? I don't understand
0:54
what you're doing. Who is Lisa Gibbons?
0:56
Jesus, what the hell is
0:59
the matter with you? I've
1:02
heard you say some really
1:04
dumb things on this show, But who
1:06
is LEAs Gibbons to
1:09
two thousand correspondent and
1:11
eventual co host for Entertainment
1:13
Tonight Boom, she has
1:16
a damn daytime Emmy Award,
1:18
which is more than I can say
1:20
for you. And can anyone get
1:22
her on the phone please, I want to get
1:24
this tape right. OK, calm down, what
1:28
what are you talking about? This is just a regular episode
1:30
of the show. No, No, it's not, Carolina.
1:33
Look, let's get real here. This
1:35
is a podcast. Have you seen the Nielsen ratings
1:38
for our show. We're not cutting
1:40
it, not by a long shot, probably
1:42
because there are no Nielsen ratings for podcasts.
1:44
That's just a thing for TV. Look, I've
1:46
seen some numbers, Carolina, And let me tell you
1:49
this, Joe Rogan is kicking our God,
1:52
He's at the top of the Nielsen ratings and I
1:54
don't think that's ending anytime soon.
1:56
You have a lot to learn about the biz.
1:59
Show biz. This is a cruel mistress.
2:01
I'm a very aware of how tough show
2:03
business. It's such a cruel mistress
2:06
that sometimes certain gentlemen
2:08
who are stressed out actually use
2:11
the services of a professional dominatrix
2:13
and have an actual cruel mistress
2:16
hit them on the behind with a whip
2:18
to take their mind off of the cruel
2:20
mistress that is show business. Um.
2:23
I don't want to I don't ever want to revisit
2:26
that subject, and it's a whole other subject
2:28
for a whole other show, which we're just
2:30
not going to do. But it still doesn't
2:32
really explain why you started the podcast
2:35
today, like we were hosting the Red carpet
2:37
coverage for the Academy Awards. All
2:40
right, I'll love it with you. I'd like
2:42
to have a bunch of wheels spinning at once. And I've been
2:44
through so many ups and downs in my career
2:46
and the one thing that I've learned is
2:49
you've got to be ready for anything. So I figured, why
2:52
not take an episode of the podcast
2:54
and use it as an audition tape
2:56
for the people that the American Motion Picture
2:59
Arts and Signs to see
3:01
if maybe me and Lisa
3:03
Gibbons can host next
3:05
year's Oscars. Has anyone
3:08
called Lisa Gibbons? I
3:10
do not want to do this with Carolina.
3:12
You can't just hijack the show and use
3:15
it as an audition tape for the Red carpet
3:17
pre show to an awards ceremony. Really,
3:19
what is the show called the
3:22
Ron Burgundy Podcast? And
3:25
what's my name? Ron Burgundy?
3:27
And what is your name? Carolina? Exactly?
3:30
It's not Lisa Gibbons. I don't
3:33
know what this. Lisa Gibbons don't have
3:35
a leg to stand on here, Okay, simple now,
3:38
Lisa Gibbons, she has two legs
3:40
to stand on, and I don't think she would mind me
3:42
saying they're terrific, have
3:44
been for a long time. She
3:47
knows, I know it. The only
3:49
person who doesn't know it is you, and that's
3:51
your fault. You cannot use the podcast
3:53
as an audition tape for the Oscars pre show.
3:56
It's just so terrific.
3:58
Let's throw to commercial and then me
4:01
and Lisa Gibbons will be back with a special
4:03
appearance from Oscar No money,
4:06
Laura Dern. Welcome
4:20
back everyone. So just to catch you
4:22
up to speed, we could not get
4:25
Lisa Gibbons on the phone, even though
4:27
I gave our producers her personal phone number,
4:30
which she gave me just so
4:32
you know, in the future, RON numbers that have
4:34
five five in them are usually
4:37
fictional. Well I'll keep that in mind. But Lisa
4:39
Gibbons or not, we are going to pretend it's
4:41
the Academy Awards and you're going
4:43
to help me get the job of hosting
4:46
the red carpet cover. Fine,
4:48
whatever, I just feel like they usually get
4:50
younger people to do that. Now, like
4:53
Ryan Seacrest or Mario Lopez.
4:55
Heyy, what did I tell you?
4:57
You shut your mouth? You you shut your mouth right
4:59
now about Mario Lopez's a friend.
5:02
I didn't say anything bad about him. I don't,
5:04
but I don't want to be in competition with Mario Lopez.
5:07
I happen to know he's not going to be available to
5:09
host the OSCARS pre show next year. That's why
5:12
I'm even considering doing this
5:14
in the first place. How do you know Mario
5:16
Lopez isn't doing it? Because friends
5:19
talk? Carolina. Also,
5:21
we recently went on a whitewater rafting
5:24
trip together, and I I think he's going to be laid
5:26
up for a while. Oh my god, did something happen
5:28
to Mario Lopez? Was he injured? It's
5:30
nothing, really, the trip, No, it's nothing. I
5:32
was supposed to be rowing, but I got hungry
5:34
and I reached into my lunch sack for some venison
5:37
jerky. I swear I only put the ore
5:39
down for like three minutes
5:41
tops. Anyway, Mario Lopez
5:43
is going to be fine. America. Nothing
5:46
a full body cast and six months of intense
5:49
rehabilitation won't fix, so get
5:51
well soon. Mario, We love
5:53
you, buddy. Run Did you intentionally
5:56
cause a whitewater rafting accident with Mario
5:58
Lopez so that you could get
6:01
a chance to possibly host the Red
6:03
Carpet pre show of the Oscars next
6:05
year? No? And oh
6:08
spells no, I
6:10
can't believe you'd even make that accusation.
6:13
That is so sick, Carolina. You
6:16
have a sick mind. And
6:18
with that, let's go to our three sixty
6:20
cams so we can get a look at all the great
6:22
fashion tonight. I Ron, if you seriously
6:25
want to do this, that was a terrible
6:27
say who are you wearing tonight?
6:29
Carolina? It appears you've
6:31
just dressed in sweatpants a T shirt
6:34
from what is that? Crank Anchors? That's
6:36
a funny show. Yeah, but this is the
6:38
Oscars. My god, you look like
6:40
trash. Okay, now
6:43
I'm just being bitchy like the late great Joan
6:46
Rivers. Rest in peace. If you're
6:48
just going to be insulting, I can leave, no
6:50
stay. You can submit this to the tape. The
6:52
Red Carpet hosting gig is always a two
6:54
hander. And if you could just dial up
6:56
Liza Gibbons, I would be great. I'll do my
6:58
best. But I didn't come
7:01
unprepared for this. Since there's no way
7:03
for us to know what boring films are
7:05
gonna be the big winners next year because they
7:07
haven't come out yet. I went and pulled
7:09
some information from the sixtieth Academy
7:12
Awards, which happened in why
7:16
don't we just do last year's Oscars
7:18
so they have a more fresh take on your hosting ability?
7:21
Well, if I'm being honest, I didn't see any
7:23
of the movies from last year. The
7:25
one that one Best Picture had subtitles,
7:27
so you know, right, that's an automatic
7:29
note from you. They make them too small. They
7:32
make them too small. When I'm on a teleprompter,
7:34
they used three point type. Also,
7:37
there was another matter of me no
7:40
longer being sent screeners because of a misunderstanding
7:43
with the union. What was the misunderstanding? It's really
7:45
silly. I had this neighbor who I swore
7:47
was stealing packages from
7:49
in front of my house, so late
7:52
one night I whipped a DVD of something
7:54
called Uncut Gems straight through
7:56
his bedroom window. It
7:58
shattered the glass and scared
8:00
the Bejesus out of him. That is just awful.
8:03
That's destruction of property. Someone
8:05
could have really gotten hurt, just like Mario
8:07
Lopez on that wrap. Well joke ended
8:09
up on me because my neighbor took
8:12
it and made a bunch of copies and started
8:14
selling them out of the trunk of his car. And that's
8:16
that's why I don't get screeners anymore. To
8:19
be fair, Uncut Gems was a really
8:21
great movie. I haven't seen it because
8:23
it landed on the floor of my neighbor's bedroom.
8:26
But from what I'm hearing, the Sandman was
8:28
robbed. Anyway, Can we
8:30
just go over this Academy
8:33
Awards stuff I've prepared? Sure, whatever
8:35
you want to do? Think okay, now, act
8:38
like Share is walking down the red carpet. Okay,
8:40
Hey, hey, Lisa Gibbons, snap out
8:42
of it. It's Share nominated
8:44
tonight for Best Actress of her performance
8:47
in the film Moonstruck. Share
8:50
so lovely to see you.
8:53
You pretend to be Shared. Pretend
8:55
to be Shared. Let's have some friendly banter. Okay?
8:58
Is that so hard to Okay? What I've hello,
9:00
Ron, it's me Share, It certainly
9:03
is. And may I say you look
9:05
ravishing this evening? I think everyone
9:07
is picking you as the winner. Tonight, the
9:10
scene where you slap Nicholas
9:12
Cage in the face and tell him to snap
9:14
out of it? Did you know that that was going to
9:17
be a classic momentum. I
9:20
was just really in the scene and
9:22
now share I think you love this, Lisa
9:24
Gibbons, and I have put together a little
9:27
something for you as a good luck charm tonight.
9:30
What the kron You just
9:33
hit me? Snap out of it, Lisa Gibbons.
9:35
Roun, you just slapped me in the face. Hey,
9:40
yeah, he don't strike me, Lisa Gibbons,
9:42
I'll strike you. Oh, Carolina,
9:51
not really hurt me. You
9:53
were slapping me. I was just defending myself
9:57
to stage slaps. No,
9:59
you would do to play. You were doing full up
10:01
slaps. I did
10:03
it like twice. Carolina.
10:08
Good you're gonna shoot me? They
10:10
were warning shots. You brought out
10:12
your gun. They were warning shots.
10:15
Okay, they were nowhere near
10:17
you, and you know it. You're
10:21
crying. You brought out the gun and
10:23
you're crying. Oh
10:26
my god, you can't Okay, you
10:28
can't bring any I've told you this. You
10:30
can't bring the gun to the recording studio. Do
10:33
you understand what was happening?
10:35
I was the scene from
10:38
Moonstruck, and I was slapping
10:40
you as Share the
10:43
way she slapped Nicholas
10:45
Cade. Okay, I just want to get
10:47
this straight. You were
10:49
going to slap Share in
10:52
the face, and I thought that this would go over
10:54
well. I think she'd really get a
10:56
kick out of it. I was recreating
10:58
the scene. She really doesn't see. I don't know
11:00
what anyone who seems like they would like that, But
11:02
she'd be very least, she'd
11:04
be very surprised. But yeah,
11:07
I very surprised. Maybe you got to
11:09
create moments on the red carpet. You
11:11
would not get hired with this audition. Let's
11:13
just keep going. Nominated for Best
11:16
Original Screenplay tonight for Radio
11:18
Days is Mr Woody
11:21
You know what, let's just skip that one. Yeah, calling
11:23
that run exactly. He never shows up to the award
11:25
shows anyway. Oh wait, who's that?
11:28
Why? It's Glenn Close, nominated
11:30
tonight for her terrifying role in
11:32
Fatal Attraction. Glenn, welcome to Hollywood's
11:35
Biggest night. Okay, I'm supposed to
11:37
be going close now, Yes,
11:39
yes, be Glynn close. Hear God?
11:42
If you could just put a little bit of effort in at this would
11:44
be so helpful. Sap I was in
11:46
the moment. Whatever, Hi, Ron
11:48
Burgundy, I'm gun close. I am surprised
11:51
to see you here tonight at the oscar Not
11:53
as surprised as I was when I
11:55
saw what a psycho tour and fatal
11:57
attraction. Stay away from my bunny. It's
12:00
glen clothes. Okay, run stop. You can't
12:02
call going close a psycho on the
12:04
red carpet. Well, look, I was referring
12:06
to the care I mean, have you seen fatal
12:08
attraction? Yeah, I've seen it. It's just I
12:12
don't think you're cut out for this, Carolina.
12:14
Just we're supposed to be a team here.
12:18
I'll tell you what if I get this gig you're in
12:20
and Liza Gibbons is out, how does that sound.
12:23
There's no way you're getting this. But whatever,
12:25
just do not slop me again. Oh
12:28
wow. Now this is a treat
12:30
Nominated for his song in my second
12:32
favorite movie of the year besides RoboCop,
12:35
It's Bob Seeger nominated tonight
12:37
for Shakedown. This song from
12:40
the film Beverly Hills Cup to Hi,
12:43
Ron, It's me Bob Seger. I
12:45
guess you left the Silver Bullet Band back home
12:47
tonight. Huh can
12:50
you can you laugh like ha ha
12:53
ha ha. Now, Bob,
12:56
you've got some tough competition tonight from
12:58
the film Dirty Dancing. Are
13:00
you guys? Are you nervous or are
13:02
you too much of a rock and roll coop guy
13:04
to care about these things? I just you
13:08
know, whatever happens happens. Seriously,
13:12
Carolina, that's your Bob Seegert impression?
13:14
Can you put on a gruff manly voice.
13:18
Just I'm Bob Seger, and
13:20
I hope I win an oscar in night. No,
13:23
no, no, he would never
13:26
say that, Not Bob Seeger. He's too
13:28
cool to say something like that, Carolina,
13:30
that sucked. It was awful. Bob
13:33
Seeger. If you're listening, and
13:36
I'm pretty sure you are, I apologize. I
13:38
apologize for Carolina is awful
13:41
impression of you, and
13:44
I'm sorry you lost to I've
13:46
had the time of my life from Dirty
13:48
Dancing. I cannot believe what
13:51
a waste of time this has been. I
13:53
think we can salvage someone. Maybe I can
13:55
get Lisa Givens to overdub your parts. Are
13:57
we done with this nonsense? We'll take a
14:00
We are minutes away from Hollywood's
14:02
biggest night. Back here after
14:05
this we
14:17
are boy, we
14:21
are back here the
14:23
Ron Burgundy Podcast. I've
14:25
just been told this is actually the season
14:27
finale of The Ron Burgundy Podcast. Wait
14:31
you didn't know that, Yes, this is
14:33
it. This is the season finale. So
14:36
this is the episode, of course where you shot
14:38
at the ceiling. So this might be the last
14:40
show we ever do. Well, that's up to my heart
14:43
radio. I just used it to make
14:45
an audition tape for the Red Carpet pre
14:47
show to the Academy Awards. Yes,
14:49
we could have had an interesting topic or chatted
14:52
with a guest, but we went down this
14:54
road of yours. You know what. I call
14:57
me crazy, but I feel absolutely confident we
14:59
did the right thing. That's insane, that's crazy,
15:02
and I have a feeling we'll be back for a season
15:04
four and you just might see me and
15:06
Carolina hosting the Red Carpet
15:08
pre show of the Oscars next time
15:10
around, unless Lisa Gibbons is
15:12
available. I've run
15:15
um, never slapped me in the face again,
15:18
and never shoot a gun in the studio
15:20
again. I mean, I feel like that's a
15:22
reasonable request. I've asked you.
15:24
Thanks to all of our listeners and all
15:27
that stuff I was saying about the Nielsen's ratings
15:29
earlier. I was just joking around. Joe
15:31
Rogan is a cool guy and I and
15:33
I very much do not want him
15:35
to beat me up. That's the great
15:38
thing about podcast. There's room for everyone, including
15:40
me, Ron Burgundy.
15:43
Any any final thoughts, Carolina, I
15:46
just want to say it's been an interesting season.
15:49
I feel like we've grown
15:52
as broadcasters, and as
15:55
crazy as it sounds, I'd like to continue
15:57
doing this with you. Well, I
16:00
feel the same, whether it's well it's me
16:02
developing a genuine affection for
16:04
you or a simple case of Stockholm
16:06
syndrome. I'm sure we'll be speaking
16:09
to you again soon for the Ron Burgundy
16:11
Podcast. This is Ron Burgundy saying Steak
16:13
Glassie, and thank you to I Heart Radio
16:16
for the money. We really enjoy
16:18
it, as well as doing the show. Until
16:21
next time. I'm got
16:23
a special treatment only for our listeners,
16:25
but for you, Carolina, I'm just gonna light this is
16:28
that a spark flight? No, it's a Roman candle.
16:31
Let's get out, We'll get out, get out. Oh
16:33
it's really look at a flame? Whoa,
16:38
whoa, Yeah, everybody get out. We're
16:40
a box of my thousand. I bought a box of my thousand
16:43
down in New Mexico
16:52
prom day for Nickna. Forget the key,
16:55
unwalk the studio. We're
16:57
in here, Carolina. We gotta ride it out. WHOA,
17:03
I'm gonna have to ride out.
17:06
Cover Cover yourself with my jacket. Pull
17:11
that bottle of water over your head. Oh
17:16
it's we're not even in the worst part yet.
17:21
My hair. That's your hair. Jump
17:25
down the door if you can. Oh.
17:34
I shouldn't have bought the jumbo back. So
