Can't

0:18

they just add me to the Barbie movie in post?

0:21

This is the Social Dose. The Social Dose

0:23

is your go-to podcast for a gorgeous dose

0:25

of what's going on in the world of social media, brought

0:27

to you now every Tuesday and Thursday.

0:30

Today is Thursday, June 29th, and I'm

0:32

Paris Nicholson at ParisNicholson on Socials.

0:35

And I'm Michael Judson-Berry at MJudsonBerry

0:38

on Socials. And now, let's get into these

0:40

headlines. Today, Barbie movie

0:42

mania is making us go insania.

0:45

We're counting down the days and the posts until

0:47

the film's premiere.

0:48

Next up, so many men on the street,

0:51

but are there too many? We get into

0:53

the trend that is taking over America's

0:55

public spaces. Finally, if your

0:57

friend and boyfriend fight like siblings, are

0:59

they fucking?

1:00

We unpack social media's latest debate.

1:03

All this breaking social media news and more,

1:05

coming up next on the Social Dose. We'll

1:07

get right back into those stories after a brief message

1:09

from our sponsors.

1:11

Do you think it's our HelloFresh ad, Michael? I hope

1:13

so. I hope so. I

1:15

love that ad.

1:19

And we're back. Mikaela,

1:21

have you been privy to

1:23

the trend online that is the Grimace Shake?

1:26

Are you familiar with the cultural phenomena? Yes,

1:28

and it's terrifying because I always think they're real,

1:30

because I'm the most gullible person on the planet. What

1:33

do you mean you think they're real? People are dying from a Grimace Shake

1:35

in a comedic way. So they're actually

1:37

dying. OK, explain what these

1:40

are for people who have not seen them. Capitalism

1:42

is capitalism-ing as it does. McDonald's

1:45

is celebrating the birthday of Grimace, which, like, who gives a shit

1:47

about Grimace? I don't know. But they

1:48

have this weird, freaky purple shake. And

1:50

Gen Z is like, oh, you know what? We're going

1:53

to take the piss out of capitalism because they're destroying

1:55

the world. So this huge trend's going around where people

1:57

are like, hi, I'm trying the Grimace Shake. They

1:59

take a sip and then it comes. to them like running

2:01

through the woods at night naked on all fours or

2:04

like hanging from a chapel by

2:07

their wrists. It's actually getting insane and luckily

2:09

the promotion for the grimacech is coming to a close

2:12

soon because it's getting kind of dangerous

2:14

to the point where I feel like somebody might die trying to make one

2:16

of these because kids are kind of doing too

2:18

much now. I mean the production value is incredible. The

2:20

videos are great I think but

2:23

be careful children out there because y'all

2:25

are doing some crazy stunts. It's giving when people

2:27

were planking on shit and then falling off and dying.

2:29

That's what it's giving to me. Yeah because

2:31

I guess it's one thing to try and just sort of recreate

2:34

a scene that looks like it's out of Blair Witch where you're just heaving

2:36

purple goof in the woods. Very high. But yes you're

2:38

right there was one where a kid was like hanging from his wrists

2:40

off a bridge just like yeah off a bridge. Which

2:42

was terrifying. Over a river. The

2:45

commitment admirable. Incredible.

2:47

Yes the safety. No

2:49

don't die for grimacech. Please don't die

2:52

although these movies are frighteningly realistic.

2:55

These movies. All of this to say Michael I did

2:57

try the grimace shake last night and that bitch

2:59

turned me out. She got me together. She was

3:01

delicious to the point where I actually went back for

3:03

dinner and got another one for dessert. I had

3:05

two yesterday I'm not well. Paris.

3:08

With that being said

3:10

I will be in rehab for my grimace

3:13

shake addiction. But Michael here's

3:15

the thing. Yes.

3:16

Speaking of fictional characters like grimace I

3:19

took it upon myself to invite a real life

3:21

Barbie to join us on the social dose today.

3:24

It is none other than Big Brother season 24 winner

3:26

and Barbie Come to Life Taylor Hale.

3:29

Taylor welcome to the social dose. Hi

3:31

thank you so much for having me. I'm

3:33

a little concerned for you and your grimace addiction.

3:35

I think we need to get that checked out. It's not good. But

3:38

you should taste it. I will not be doing that. I

3:40

will leave that to you but let's just let's take care of you

3:42

Paris. I want to focus on you and your well-being.

3:44

So let's get away from the grimace addiction. Just

3:46

like leave purple behind. It's very 2020.

3:50

What year is it? 2022. Leave it behind. It's

3:52

not even my

3:52

color the purple. And you know what actually happened.

3:54

I brought it home and I was like gonna give

3:56

my fiance Dwight a sip and I spilled it as

3:59

soon as I walked through the

3:59

the door on our white carpet. Luckily, the

4:02

purple washed off very easily, thank God,

4:05

because I was like, this is gonna be some fucking bank robber

4:07

ink that's never coming out of this shag white

4:09

rug. But she came out and she was cute, thank God.

4:12

Yeah, I'm gonna say right now, you should have filmed it, could have been your

4:14

own TikTok nightmare, could have gone viral, missed opportunities.

4:16

Girl, you know I did. That's right, oh you did, of course. I filmed it, the moment

4:18

I spilled, I got that camera out. It's coming tomorrow. This

4:21

was just to drum up interest in it.

4:23

Oh my God, can I ask a deeply personal,

4:26

super gross question, and Taylor, I apologize

4:28

for getting to this point. So remember

4:30

when those Lady Gaga Oreos came out where they were

4:32

like pink and green? Yes, the Chromatic Oreos,

4:34

famously. Yes, and everyone ate them, and then it

4:36

gave them like green

4:39

excretions. Yeah. Like

4:42

forest green, did the purple drink do that for

4:44

you? Because I mean, if it gives

4:46

one a festive poo, that's a very like fun

4:49

spin on this. I thought the same thing, I thought

4:51

the same thing, it did not, it

4:53

was standard color.

4:54

Okay, okay, again,

4:57

sorry for taking us there. No, that's an important

4:59

question. I honestly think that that's what the listeners are probably

5:01

all wondering, so it's important that we pose that question. One

5:04

last question I need to pose to Taylor before we begin

5:06

these headlines. Taylor, we have hotly

5:09

been

5:10

watching the race for Song of the Summer for 2023

5:12

here at The Social Dose. I'm

5:14

interested to know, what are your top contenders

5:16

right now? There's no contenders, it's

5:18

only one prime song, it's Padam,

5:20

Padam. Thank you, it's Padam. Nothing else but

5:22

Padam. No, we re-song in the summer when

5:24

I see Andy Cohen showing Padam to

5:27

Kamala Harris, since she does her little Kamala laugh, like

5:29

we're past the point, exactly.

5:30

Her Kamala laugh,

5:33

where she laughs like Kelmo. It's

5:35

a Elmo laugh and I get the silk crush shake,

5:38

I get a little

5:38

bent over moment, maybe she's out of camera,

5:41

she's back in frame, Song of the Summer certified

5:43

by Kallen. Yes, at Stonewall

5:45

just to really drive it home. At Stonewall. All right,

5:47

on that note, let's get into today's stories.

5:51

["Somewhere in the Summer"] It's a

5:53

Barbie girl summer and we'll take everything

5:56

in hot pink. From the hills of Malibu

5:58

to the friendly skies.

5:59

advertising for the new Barbie movie has become more common

6:02

than plastic. It's fantastic. And

6:04

there's seemingly no end to the marketing budget

6:06

or the posts. Michael Judson Barry has more.

6:09

Yes, we obviously expect to see a

6:11

lot of online advertising for movies and the

6:13

Barbie movie has been no exception. There's been

6:15

the Barbie filter trend a few weeks ago,

6:18

the viral Barbie and K mugshot videos like

6:20

they're really owning the social media marketing

6:22

at the moment. However, I love

6:24

that they are doing in real life

6:27

advertising stunts as well, which I feel like we haven't

6:29

seen in a minute. So there's the house

6:31

in Malibu, there's the Malibu

6:33

Barbie cafe in New York. I love

6:36

these. Please let's let's dive into and start talking about these.

6:38

Taylor, I

6:39

assume you've seen these as well. It's

6:41

unavoidable and I want to live in explicitly

6:44

this world only and alone. I'm obsessed

6:47

with the Barbie dream house. Listen, I was trapped

6:49

in a house last summer. That was a little bit

6:51

of a horror story. True. I would

6:53

pay an arm and a leg. Actually, no, I'm going

6:55

to

6:55

try to keep my $800,000. I would

6:57

still pay good money to be in that

6:59

Barbie

6:59

Airbnb dream house. Lock me in

7:01

the house

7:02

for the summer. I've done a lot of horror. Let me do it. Let

7:04

me live this fantasy. It'll be an amazing experience. Please. And

7:08

thank you. Oh my God. I would love this

7:10

big brother spinoff where it's a Barbie big brother. Big Barbie. Big

7:13

Barbie. And it's just girls. It's just

7:15

girls.

7:15

It's just girls. We don't need boys. Wait,

7:18

can we have like Ken's in there? But they're like overtly gay men who

7:20

just like look sort of like only gays. Only

7:23

boys are allowed to gaze. I won't say no. I won't

7:25

say no. The

7:59

That's the, what a painful

8:01

irony with that. And he's just like, he's just Ken. It's

8:04

just Ken living a life that's better than everybody

8:07

else's, I guess. They're really trying to drive that home, that

8:09

like, if you live in that Barbie world, your life is just better than

8:11

everyone.

8:12

Yeah, and that's why I'm excited the most for the movie. Okay,

8:15

so

8:16

the thing I love most about this Barbie

8:18

Gorilla Marketing campaign is that because

8:20

it's so monoculture at

8:22

this point, and it's like, you see everything as Barbie everywhere

8:25

you look, the fake Barbie stuff

8:27

that people are coming out with is becoming more and

8:29

more plausible. Because obviously people are gonna

8:31

make memes about it. For example, a tweet I saw

8:33

from Matt Stasoff, who said, these Barbie

8:35

partnerships are getting out of hand, and it's a Lockheed

8:38

Martin Barbie

8:39

fighter jet? Yeah,

8:42

that's just like hot pink. Which

8:44

I love that you thought was real, that they were like, we got

8:46

this new. I did not think it was real, that was a joke. No, okay.

8:48

I sent that to the group tag. No.

8:51

You hate foggages. Lies and propaganda.

8:54

I found this tweet and sent it to y'all

8:56

because I knew it was fake. Right,

8:59

right. Believable. What else

9:01

have y'all seen?

9:02

What else do we have?

9:05

Well, I mean, the real one, the Malibu Barbie

9:07

house that they have built, which I love

9:09

that Architectural Digest did a partnership

9:11

with them where they did one of those like celebrity,

9:14

like welcome to my home. That was the one. And

9:17

they did it on the set, but they

9:19

make it sort of look like it is an actual house, which

9:22

I loved. But there is this house in Malibu

9:24

that you can go stay at apparently. Yeah,

9:27

and here's the thing about this house. I need to

9:29

know when

9:30

the party is and

9:33

how I can get invited because they're definitely gonna

9:35

do an event. They are absolutely holding an event

9:37

of some sort in this house. It

9:39

can't just be for Airbnb gags. You know what

9:42

I mean? Yeah, if you haven't seen it, go to at film

9:44

updates. They shared a picture of it from at John

9:46

Schreiber, who they shared it from him. But yeah,

9:49

it's amazing looking that they rebuilt

9:51

a Barbie house.

9:53

I would live there. This

9:55

is where they would film it, right?

9:56

I am 100% in. This is where they would be

9:58

filming it. I can already see us having a little. little

10:00

HOH competitions, I can see us evicting

10:02

people, I can see people dying in the back room. But

10:04

like, it's happy, because everything's pink. Hello,

10:07

she walks on water. There's been

10:09

a very few times in my life where I'll be pro blonde

10:12

hair, blue eyed, white girl, but like, there's so many different Barbies

10:15

too. So, you know, I love

10:16

this world. It's an all inclusive Barbie space.

10:18

Yeah, and they seem to really like it. It really feels like they're doing it so right.

10:21

Yeah, and I love how there are no walls in the bedroom,

10:23

so they just wake up and wave at each other and they just say, good morning.

10:25

Good morning, Barbie. Like, I hope

10:28

this movie comes out. Yeah,

10:30

I hope this movie comes out and this is what we do to each

10:32

other on the street. Like, you see your neighbor on the street and you're like, good

10:34

morning, Barbie. Yes. That

10:36

is such an optimistic take.

10:37

I will not be doing that. Um,

10:40

but you have so much fun. I adore

10:42

you. You're awesome. Without

10:45

Michael's optimism, we would be sunk

10:47

on this pod. It's

10:50

the only thing keeping us afloat. And

10:53

with that, I've just heard

10:55

word from our social scientists that it's time for a break,

10:57

Divas.

11:01

This summer, HelloFresh is here to take

11:03

the work out of eating well. Reach

11:05

your goals with delicious, calorie-smart, and protein-smart

11:08

lunch and dinner options, plus new vegan

11:10

recipes too. Figuring out what's for dinner is

11:12

not at the top of anyone's summer activity wish

11:15

list. And HelloFresh delivers mouthwatering,

11:17

chef-crafted recipes and fresh ingredients to

11:19

your door so you can spend your summer doing whatever

11:21

you want, besties. Listen, I've been

11:23

using HelloFresh for some time and it's my favorite

11:26

thing because you know when you want to cook and like you

11:28

find a recipe and then you go and buy all the ingredients, but you

11:30

only need like two tablespoons of sour

11:31

cream and then you end up with this huge type of sour cream that you don't

11:33

use and it just goes bad and then you feel like a bad person. HelloFresh

11:36

removes all of that by sending you exactly the right amount of

11:38

ingredients that you need. So you're not wasting anything. It's

11:40

my favorite thing. It's the only way to cook. This is

11:42

brilliant. I cannot wait to try this. Go to

12:08

Hello, I'm Tig Notaro. And despite

12:11

my request that you stop asking

12:13

me questions, here we are again. We're

12:16

back with new episodes of Don't

12:18

Ask Tig, where my guests and I

12:20

field your questions every week. This

12:22

season, we get advice from Kristen

12:24

Bell, Cheryl Lee Ralph, Randy

12:27

Jackson, and so many more.

12:30

I can't promise it's good advice, but we

12:32

will always try our best. Listen

12:35

to Don't Ask Tig

12:36

wherever you get podcasts.

12:41

Oh my god, we're back. These

12:45

men are for the streets, literally.

12:47

Men on the street interviewers are now more

12:49

common than the clap. Anyone

12:52

in a major city knows you can't walk to Starbucks

12:54

on a Saturday without being asked what

12:56

you're listening to or if you want to double

12:59

it or give it to the next person. That

13:02

makes me think of a Bette Midler song where she's like, he

13:04

will give you the. The. The.

13:07

Anyway, Paris Nicholson

13:10

reports on this plague and not on this Bette Midler

13:12

song that he doesn't know. Yes,

13:14

Michael, the rise of TikTok has led to a direct

13:16

rise in people being in people's business. Men

13:19

on the street interviews are common practice in journalism,

13:21

however, they have become more common in just day to

13:23

day life with people thinking that they too

13:25

should have a little microphone, put it in people's faces

13:28

and interview them. I,

13:30

for one,

13:31

recently saw one from user at Soma

13:33

Kazima who asked

13:37

a I will

13:38

will say allegedly, but I have a feeling that the person

13:40

that they asked is a member of the LGBTQ

13:42

family, but they asked them,

13:45

hey, how how hot would you rate me on a scale from

13:47

one to 10? And this man said negative

13:49

one. And they proceeded to kind of really unpack that

13:51

for her because I guess she's like a masochist and asked

13:53

follow up questions to that. And which

13:55

point he kind of just breaks it down and says, I

13:58

feel like I've seen copies of you all over the.

13:59

you're unoriginal and therefore

14:03

you're common, dear. And it was so

14:06

appropriate. Cause I feel like the people that do these interviews, I'm

14:08

like, get out of my face. You're so obnoxious. You're

14:10

so annoying most of the time. Roast them. Yeah.

14:13

Where she's like, are you calling me ugly? And he's like, no, I'm calling

14:15

you unoriginal, which I

14:18

love the comment. He was so kind. Unfortunately,

14:20

you're unoriginal. He was being

14:22

so kind. He did not have to be, he could have roasted

14:24

the shit out of her as I would have. But you know, I

14:27

still appreciate someone who will do a kind drag. It

14:30

was an ethical dragging. An ethical dragging.

14:32

We need more reality. We need

14:34

realists in the world these days. We do.

14:37

I do like the comment that was like, I'd rather be cold

14:39

ugly. And honestly, kind of

14:41

same. Honestly. At

14:43

least if you're ugly, you can be original. Yeah.

14:46

There

14:46

are so many supermodels that are quote unquote

14:48

ugly, but they're still paid. Yeah.

14:51

How do y'all feel about this in general, just like on

14:53

the street interview, get up in

14:55

strangers faces with a microphone and ask them questions?

14:58

As someone who adores attention and

15:00

also putting people in their place kindly,

15:03

I love these just because like, I

15:05

love ruining people's own bubble of their

15:07

self-perception and what they're doing. So give me

15:09

the mic. Let's go toe for toe. So

15:12

you're receptive to it. If somebody comes up to you, you're like, yes.

15:14

Only because I know I can just throw it right back in your face, but

15:17

the ones where people try to do gotchas or especially those,

15:19

ugh, the straight men that try to ask women

15:21

questions about trying to degrade them

15:24

or being sexist, I'll really get into

15:26

that one. I would love for one of those guys to approach me. Oh,

15:29

I want this to happen.

15:30

I personally have not ever, and

15:33

I imagine that if I was, I would do exactly

15:35

what that woman did in that one where she's like, no,

15:38

get someone else to do it, and then just walks away.

15:42

I have not, but I've seen Billy

15:45

Eichner and his team chase people

15:47

down multiple times. So I've been walking down the street

15:49

and all of a sudden you see this like tall, lanky

15:51

man going, how do you feel about Deborah Massing?

15:54

And like screaming by you, and then like 20

15:56

people with like clipboards and papers just sort of

15:58

flying behind them chasing after.

15:59

him and some like poor person like

16:02

you know just being like accosted by him it

16:04

was like I don't know is that Julianne Moore I don't

16:06

know.

16:08

Here's the thing they're all just copycats not

16:10

to call these people unoriginal I know we have a friend of the club

16:12

that does this we love Miss Hannah Burner but

16:15

you can't outdo the doer if Billy Eichner

16:17

is running down me it's probably also got a celebrity

16:19

with him so that would be fun for me but these

16:21

little nobodies

16:22

so sorry I was nobody at once at one point

16:24

in my life I understand it but it's a little copycat nobodies

16:26

that are just going viral here and there there's

16:29

enough of them.

16:30

Yeah and I think it's true we're oversaturated and

16:32

I think a little bit of me like I Hannah I think

16:34

is different she's actually like a very skilled comedian but

16:37

I feel like a lot of people who aren't particularly good

16:39

at things but want to be funny try

16:41

and run up and they kind of count on you to be the

16:43

funny one to me just feels lazy where

16:45

it's like you couldn't come up with your own things you just chase

16:47

somebody down hoping they'd be funny you know they just ask

16:49

you a crazy question to try and get you to be funny.

16:51

Or not even trying to get you to be funny but trying

16:53

to make you the butt of the joke when your

16:56

responsibility is to be like some kind of

16:58

reaction or something. Yeah. But

17:00

there are some people who are good at it like this Davis

17:02

Burleson it's on TikTok he has over

17:04

two million followers it's the what's poppin

17:06

show

17:07

that's what it is what's poppin with Davis on TikTok

17:10

but that one I think he's like very sweet

17:13

and approachable and I like that some people like

17:15

we saw the one where he interviewed this man

17:17

who's a plus size model and he sort of gives in a moment

17:19

to like just talk about like beautiful positive things

17:22

and like you know you know how

17:24

he's like oh I appreciate well

17:26

I don't know it's just like lovely. I'll be honest

17:29

I watched a couple of them like

17:30

yeah they're like wholesome and he like doesn't seem particularly

17:32

offensive in any way but I'm also getting like a little bit of

17:35

Ellen is anybody getting Ellen?

17:36

You're just looking at the haircut. Yeah

17:39

but I'm also looking at like a white

17:41

gay sanitized person

17:44

with a microphone interviewing people

17:46

and like keeping it positive. I really believe you

17:48

just see a Nordic white person with a haircut

17:50

and you give Ellen. Yeah but people

17:52

are the same Taylor I'm sorry. I 1000%

17:57

see that too.

17:59

At least it's kind of

18:02

like he's a positive one. And he did, I saw

18:04

one where he bought a woman a snack. I thought that was

18:06

nice. Like, if you're gonna put someone on the spot

18:08

and interview them, I guess, like, buy them a hot dog

18:11

after.

18:12

Yeah. I'd prefer Fro-Yo.

18:14

But yeah. Ooh. Give

18:16

me five bucks. I would watch that where he's like, I'm

18:18

gonna buy you a hot dog. And you're like, no, you're gonna

18:20

buy me Fro-Yo now. And then he would. He probably

18:22

would. No, you're gonna buy me a Birkin. -♪ ♪

Hey, I'm Rhett. And I'm Link. Maybe

18:46

you know us from our daily YouTube show, Good Mythical

18:48

Morning. But this is a little trailer

18:50

for our podcast, Ear Biscuits, where

18:53

two lifelong friends talk about life for

18:55

a long time. And nothing is off limits.

18:57

We talk about our sex lives, our mental health journeys,

19:00

but we try to never take ourselves

19:02

too seriously. So we invite you

19:05

to not do the same. Or

19:07

to do the same. We invite you to listen. That's

19:10

what I'm trying to say. Yes, follow Ear Biscuits

I'm Dana Carvey. And I'm

of Apple, Spotify, and Amazon's, oh,

19:21

you heard me, top podcasts of 2022. Both

19:24

of us got our break on a little show. You

19:27

heard of it. Well, isn't that Saturday Night

19:29

Live? Mm-hmm. Each week

19:31

we sit down with friends of the show to share stories,

19:34

and we BS about the good old days and the good new days. We

19:36

have former hosts like Tom Hanks. There

19:39

is no gig, there is no hosting thing, there

19:41

is no cameo that you do that

19:43

is like being

19:44

on Saturday Night Live. Legends

19:46

like Molly Shannon. Me and Will, Will

19:48

and Me. Yeah. This might

19:51

be the most fun I have ever had. Our bud

19:53

Adam Sandler. That wasn't the best

19:55

thing about being in a skit with Farley. You just felt safe.

19:57

We even sat down with the great and proud

19:59

It's a powerful us. Lord Michaels. When

20:02

people say the best cast

20:04

that ever did it, generally it's when they were in high school.

20:07

It's pretty fly and it's pretty on the wall. David

20:08

and Dana. We're

20:11

just a fly on the wall.

20:15

You can fly and fly on the wall. Presentation of Gaiden's 13

20:22

And we're back. Mm-hmm.

20:26

Now, best friends are often explained

20:28

as two peas in a pod. But what happens

20:30

if your man's pee is in your best friend's pod?

20:33

Oh, I don't like that at all. Taylor,

20:37

I'm going to throw this one to you because your reaction

20:39

to that was priceless.

20:43

I haven't seen an eye roll

20:46

like that in a hot minute.

20:48

Thank you, Michael. So TikTok user

20:50

Courtney E. Bling

20:51

hosted a video this past week of her best friend

20:53

and her boyfriend, quote unquote,

20:56

fighting like siblings. In the

20:58

video, he's chasing the best friend around holding

21:00

her upside down, teabagging

21:02

her, fake fighting. Listen, the internet

21:05

is totally divided over whether this is normal behavior

21:07

or if the girlfriend has her head in

21:09

the sand.

21:11

It doesn't look too good to me. It's really

21:13

giving like, fratty guy,

21:16

girl, beefing with each other, but

21:19

they're just too comfortable. It's

21:21

very,

21:21

very bizarre and icky to me. Yeah,

21:24

no, we cannot say that they are fucking

21:26

for sure, but we can say that it

21:28

seems like they could be. They do feel

21:30

too comfortable being physical with each

21:32

other in these ways, specifically the teabagging where

21:34

she's being held by two men at once. And I'm like, I

21:37

mean, if

21:38

it was me, I'd have fucked them both. You

21:40

know, I don't know about y'all. Or

21:43

maybe perhaps

21:44

everybody in this friend group already has

21:46

fucked each other and like they got out their system and

21:48

now they've established their actual

21:51

roles in the friend group as dating and friends

21:53

and so on and so forth.

21:55

I honestly believe that could be true. The

21:58

one thing that's missing from this conversation is the

22:00

possibility of it just being a throuple. Like y'all

22:02

could just be a happy throuple if you want, but

22:04

I think the audience for this video was so like cis

22:07

and white and hetero that like that didn't

22:09

even occur to them, you know? No, it's never

22:11

gonna

22:11

occur to them. There's no bed sheets, there's

22:13

no headboards, there's no furniture in any of this

22:15

video. They're not gonna be a throuple anytime soon,

22:17

if not ever. Yeah. Those

22:21

look super rough.

22:23

Yeah, they are. Well, that's where I get where people

22:25

are sort of jumping on the siblings thing. Like I

22:27

do like the comment from at FinanTekal6

22:31

who said they playing like siblings now, but later

22:33

they're gonna make siblings. But the

22:36

whole like, yeah.

22:43

But they do sort of, the way they're

22:45

tussling does feel very sort of like

22:48

bro-y, like two boys, but

22:50

little kids, like when you see like a four and five

22:52

year old just running around batting each other the way like puppies

22:55

do. But like when they're two

22:57

adults, it's animalistic.

22:59

It's like what Anthony's Christie said, she's just

23:02

there recording their love story. And

23:05

yeah.

23:06

But people, it has been like a big conversation

23:09

about,

23:10

you know, like would you let your best friend

23:13

tussle with your girlfriend like that? Like how would

23:15

people feel about it?

23:16

But, and then the Gazer Wagon, like

23:19

at Gay Leo Fan, also known as Fancys

23:21

Great Who Said Straight People's inability to let their partners

23:24

have close friends is insane. Y'all are so insecure.

23:28

I mean,

23:30

I don't know. I like am famously like an only child.

23:33

So like roughhousing is never something that I have

23:35

identified with.

23:35

Oh yeah. Thank you, you see me, it's

23:38

weird. But like when you go to your cousins, didn't they always

23:40

try to like roughhouse? I don't have cousins.

23:43

Both, my, yeah, my mom's an only child and my

23:45

dad's sister didn't have siblings. So it was literally just me. That's

23:48

such a dream. I know, it's great. My cousins,

23:50

I come from a long line of white trash. So my cousins are

23:52

like loose socks, rug burns

23:54

from wrestling on the carpet. I'm like, ew,

23:57

stop it. You smell like feet, get me out.

23:59

Let me go hang out with you.

25:59

but he says that a lot and it always gets me.

26:03

What? Olivia Riley. I don't know her

26:05

from A Kid of Pain. Not knowing anything.

26:07

Oh, I got that from Dwight.

26:10

That's a Dwight phrase.

26:12

That's a really good point. It's

26:14

sort of like, what did Carrie

26:16

Fisher say about Elizabeth

26:18

Taylor? There was a famous thing where like her mom was

26:20

Debbie Reynolds who was a huge movie star back the day and

26:23

Elizabeth Taylor and her were best friends and then Elizabeth

26:25

Taylor's husband died and

26:27

Carrie Fisher's like, yeah, and then my dad went and comforted

26:29

her with his penis.

26:31

Like, mm-hmm. Sorry, Michael,

26:33

really fast. She says, my dad

26:35

made his way to her side and then quickly made

26:37

his way to her front. The rush to her side

26:40

and then quickly made his way

26:41

to her front. Thank you, Chelsea, thank you.

26:43

I love when we trick the producers into being in the episode.

26:46

I always, somehow it always comes back to old movies

26:48

with me. But we have to talk old movies eventually

26:50

anyway. Are you an old

26:52

movie buff? I love her more

26:54

and I specifically love Doris Day.

26:57

She's a comedic genius. Are you familiar

26:59

with the thrill of it all?

27:01

Wait, no, I haven't seen that one. I do love Doris

27:03

Day. You have to watch it. It's a, real

27:05

quick you guys, it's a comedy about a

27:07

housewife who is married to a doctor.

27:10

This housewife then finds herself

27:12

doing one single ad for Happy Soap

27:15

and they make her the new darling and she ends up out

27:17

earning her husband who was a doctor in the 60s and

27:20

you see all the tension of feminism and sexism

27:22

come to head. But it is surprisingly ahead of

27:24

its time for its day. It's amazing. You

27:26

have to go watch it.

27:27

What's it called again? The thrill of it all. Also

27:30

the male lead in the movie is

27:32

the same man who played the old man in the

27:34

notebook.

27:34

So James Garner, you have to go watch it.

27:37

Oh, it's a James, oh. Okay,

27:39

I have to watch this. Okay, this is perfect that you two have found each

27:41

other. I'm gonna leave. You

27:43

guys can just have so much fun talking about like, Greta

27:46

Garbo. You should watch Doris Day movies

27:48

cause she did a Greta Garbo. She did a lot of

27:50

movies with Rock Hudson, famous like,

27:53

Tall and hot. Gay Hollywood icon. Yeah.

27:56

Super tall. Oh yeah. He

27:57

was like six six. Oh my God, Taylor, yes.

27:59

to just do a spin-off episode where we just talk about, because

28:02

I don't know that much about film noir. I've done a lot

28:04

of old movies, but that's a genre I haven't jumped

28:06

into that much. I'll text you my favorite

28:08

one. Please do, any at all advice on

28:11

what to watch. I will move it to the top of my queue.

28:14

I made Paris Watch's first mailman row movie. Which

28:17

one? I did.

28:19

It was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Of course it

28:21

was. The iconic dance, the

28:23

song, the dress, the diamonds. I

28:25

had no idea. You were like, oh, she's funny.

28:28

It's like, yeah, she was hilarious. I was watching

28:30

it and I was like, oh, I get it. She's funny

28:32

and so gorgeous and charming. Surprise.

28:35

Which she had just been so, I don't know, commercialized

28:37

and turned into basically, she was like a logo to me.

28:39

You know what I mean? Yeah, like she was in the TV mix and I see images of

28:42

her, but I don't know

28:44

a personality or anything. Exactly. So

28:46

I was like, oh, I understand all the hype because she

28:48

was really

28:49

giving. How old are you, Paris? I

28:52

think that's really offensive and hateful for you to say to you

28:54

that, no, I'm 32. I saw a black woman. I'm 32. I

28:57

am 32 and I have been for like,

28:59

since I was 10.

29:03

Yeah,

29:06

and I've been 84 since I was 10. Yeah,

29:08

no, Paris, I thought you were 25 with the

29:10

lack of knowledge that was in your head, but it's okay. Thank

29:13

you. Not the beauty. Not the ignorance.

29:15

It's just the ignorance. You actually look like hell. You

29:17

just don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I

29:20

have the hairline of a 32 year old, but

29:22

the brain of a 16 year old.

29:26

And with that besties, that's

29:28

the end of our episode today. We've had so

29:31

much fun hanging out with you, Taylor. You simply

29:33
