1:55

almost new segment. Have you been here for an

1:57

almost news segment? Almost

1:59

news. No, it's like a segment

2:01

we slide in at the end where it's kind of like

2:04

let me guess is it almost new?

2:06

Yeah, not right there. I get the

2:08

name. I get the name. I will do

2:10

that do that away Okay, give an

2:12

update on Sydney Sweeney there the biggest one though

2:15

The biggest one though leading the

2:17

show. Yeah, we're gonna talk about Kanye

2:20

West and we're also gonna throw in a bit of

2:22

Kim Kardashian while we're at it. Oh, of course So

2:25

Kanye West is now the

2:27

suspect in a battery Yeah,

2:29

a man reported him Said

2:32

that Kanye punched him in the face, right?

2:35

And this all went down allegedly because

2:38

said man Grabbed

2:40

Bianca by the waist, right like

2:43

touched her body Yeah, I'm gonna

2:45

spun her around right blue kisses

2:48

at her and then got punched in

2:50

the face But then the man ran to the cops

2:52

said Kanye did this. Mm-hmm and

2:54

now God knows

2:57

what's gonna happen. Well now Kanye's people

2:59

are saying it was way more than

3:01

what you just described, right? they're saying

3:03

that Grabbed is

3:05

grossly inadequate inadequate my

3:07

bad and that Bianca

3:09

was physically assaulted So

3:13

he they're saying that this this

3:15

guy put his hands under her

3:17

dress Directly on her body

3:19

grabbed her waist Spun

3:21

her around blur kisses and she was battered

3:23

and sexually assaulted is what kind of are

3:25

saying. So they're not saying And

3:27

he didn't punch him right saying I

3:31

mean we don't know right but like it

3:33

looks like the guy might have

3:35

deserved it if that's true Yeah, I mean

3:38

well, yeah, of

3:40

course definitely deserve a little bit. I do

3:42

that You can't do that, of course And

3:44

so I guess it would be considered then

3:46

self-defense It'll be interesting how this all plays

3:48

out because Kanye obviously obviously has a history,

3:50

right? Yeah with violence Yeah, putting his hands

3:52

on people especially paparazzi Yeah, and

3:54

right because we remember the incident with the where

3:57

he took the phone. Yes. I mean

3:59

there's been incidents the incidents with him

4:01

versus paparazzi but yeah he loses his

4:03

temper but if some random

4:06

guy touch

4:09

you know under my wife's dress on her

4:11

skin yeah you're punching him you're punching

4:13

him and if you don't you're no

4:15

kind of husband yeah agree i

4:17

mean here's my question though connie gets

4:19

into these situations all the time where

4:21

he's always like punching or grabbing where's

4:23

security why are people getting that close

4:25

to bianca yeah well that might might

4:28

be a bodyguard's like job yeah that's

4:30

what i would think i mean listen if this is true and

4:32

this guy really did this to bianca in my

4:34

opinion connie is every right to just go up and and

4:36

you know pound on him but i don't i

4:38

don't know what the laws are

4:41

like if someone touches your wife but not

4:43

in like a she's not going to get

4:45

hurt by it physically well that's sexual

4:47

sexual fault you're allowed to punch someone then

4:49

i don't know i would have hoped so i

4:51

would think it would be considered self-defense right

4:54

although it's not yourself for

4:56

i don't know we're not lawyers that's becoming

4:58

very clear yeah yeah what we would do

5:00

it sounds like a big punch the guy's

5:03

lights out yeah so he they had just

5:05

come from the happiest place on earth disneyland

5:07

that's sad uh what a ruin to the

5:09

day you know they're like eating churros on

5:11

face mountain so fun and then this had

5:13

to happen right well they just got

5:15

to it happened at chateau marmont okay

5:17

they'd left disneyland come to chateau marmont

5:20

which i mean is maybe the most

5:22

historic hotel in l.a you know lots

5:25

of stuff has gone down there are always there

5:27

and and the security is pretty tight there too

5:29

so right i mean i would think

5:31

around connie too that it would be i don't know

5:33

this is this is why it's going to be interesting

5:35

to see how this unfolds but yeah i mean if

5:37

that guy put his hands on if that random guy

5:39

put his hands on bianca he had every right to

5:41

get punched in the face for once i think

5:43

i'm starting with kanye yeah once we get

5:46

once we get more information on it but yeah if what

5:48

if what his rep is saying is true then i'd be

5:50

6:32

attention and make people watch the

6:35

show. She locked lips

6:37

with Emma Roberts in

6:39

American Horror Story, the recent episode. If

6:42

there's one way to get viewers, ladies kissing.

6:44

A hundred percent. Like that

6:46

kind of what got her her start was

6:49

just like kissing and sexual stuff. And

6:51

like now this clip is everywhere.

6:53

So let me play out the scene for you

6:56

because... Please do describe it in full detail, Charlie.

6:58

We're all listening. Because we're not allowed to show it.

7:00

So I'll just talk slowly. It'll be

7:02

a bit of ASMR or something. Yeah. So Kim Kardashian

7:05

kissed her in the front row of like an

7:08

Oscars scene. They're at the Oscars. Right. Kim

7:10

plays Siobhan. Anna

7:14

is the name of Emma Roberts' character. And

7:17

Anna wins an Oscar. And

7:21

Anna's pregnant right now, by

7:23

the way. Okay. In fact, her water

7:25

breaks on stage. Right. Yeah. What

7:28

the drama. We're really setting the

7:30

scene. But also,

7:32

this is a terrible setup to a

7:35

kiss. Right. Someone's water's breaking. How do

7:37

you even go in? Do you not slip on the... There's

7:41

a lot going on in this episode. Well,

7:43

also, Emma Roberts' character has just been like

7:45

cheated on by her husband during the pregnancy.

7:47

So she's in an emotional place. You know,

7:49

she's pregnant and she's been cheated on by

7:51

her husband. There's only one cure. A

7:54

make out with Kim. Because she wins

7:56

the Oscar. And it goes everything. Kim turns to say,

7:58

says, go up, Darren. get your

8:01

hardware baby baby and

8:04

then and lays one on her and I mean

8:06

it's the kiss being heard around the world it's

8:08

pretty hot give give Kim an Oscar well

8:10

remember what was the movie it was with

8:12

Denise Richards and was it Naomi Campbell Oh

8:15

wild things oh that takes

8:17

me back yeah well how old were

8:19

you when you're I don't know

8:21

man your parents is that the one

8:23

you're always watching wild things during the

8:25

pool yes consider that the most favor

8:27

the most famous female kiss of all

8:29

time I feel like every single guy

8:31

could explain that kiss in full detail

8:33

apparently some children are allowed to watch

8:36

it so my question is does this

8:38

kiss overtake that kiss where does this

8:40

kiss fall on the ranking no famous

8:42

female kissing I don't think anything will

8:44

overtake that kiss right oh runner-up

8:46

cruel intentions have you think oh

8:49

I feel uncomfortable podcast early okay

8:51

let's add a lot of space

8:53

between us at this table okay

8:58

Caitlin Clark she's just

9:00

like dominating the news cycle now she's

9:02

awesome she's awesome this time awesome it's like

9:04

kind of something happened that's

9:07

not her fault this creepy reporter

9:09

named Greg Doyle he's

9:11

a journalist for the

9:13

Indianapolis star so

9:15

she's got this famous thing she does that heart thing

9:18

that that right like to do and when

9:20

she's like wins games and such as the heart thing

9:22

up to her parents and started that I

9:24

thought that was I always associated

9:26

that with Taylor Swift yeah item

9:29

I'm not sure who like started it started

9:31

it but she always does it during always

9:33

does it to her family right so I

9:35

mean we don't see the reporter in the

9:37

clip but he basically wants Caitlin

9:39

to send him the love

9:41

gesture and it's just it was so

9:44

it was awkward right because he he was about

9:46

to start he introduced himself and then he's like

9:48

hold on really fast and then gave her that

9:51

gesture and so she was kind of like

9:53

well caught off guard I don't

9:55

know what to do with it let's let's listen to

9:57

the clip okay now see what happens Oh,

10:01

Caitlin, Greg Doyle, Indy Star, real

10:04

quick. Oh, let me do this. You

10:07

like that? I

10:10

like that you're here. I like that you're here.

10:12

I do that at my family after every game,

10:14

so. Okay, well, start doing it to me and

10:16

we'll get along just fine. So, question

10:19

is, you didn't have

10:21

to term pro. Okay, so I mean. It's

10:24

for me when I watched this, I was

10:26

expecting because there was a ton of outrage

10:28

over this. Yeah, there was. It's like, when

10:30

I watched it, I was expecting something really

10:32

explosive and weird and creepy to happen. And

10:34

I just was like, oh, this guy's just

10:36

awkward. Yeah, I mean. I

10:38

didn't get the outrage. Well, this

10:40

guy's obviously looking for his moment. Right.

10:42

But he found it the wrong moment.

10:44

And I think the outrage is partly

10:46

because there's this huge pay disparity thing

10:48

going on right now. Yeah. Where Caitlin's

10:50

making like 75K a year first season.

10:54

The NBA, the guy, Wembley, who got drafted

10:56

number one last year in the NBA, he's

10:58

making over $12 million a season. So

11:01

people are already thinking like, wow, women aren't

11:03

being treated equal. Biden's come in and talked

11:05

about it. Andy Reid, the coach for the Kansas

11:07

City Chiefs has taught everyone's talking about that.

11:10

And now you got this heroin, like

11:12

this hero, like who's going to

11:14

come in and probably change

11:16

the sport, WNBA for every woman.

11:18

Right. You got this creepy guy

11:20

kind of. Focusing on this

11:22

hand signal rather than. Poking down to

11:25

her almost like creepy. Yeah. I

11:27

try to like ask questions that

11:29

might get picked up and, you know,

11:32

get a reaction out of the celebrity in

11:34

a positive way. But this guy just poorly

11:36

timed it and poorly said it. Yeah. I

11:38

mean, that's, that's the thing, right? It was awkward. It

11:40

was a little creepy, but I didn't think it was,

11:43

I think he was just trying to

11:45

like connect with her in a funny way is

11:47

how I took it. And it's obviously not the

11:49

time, but he was like, oh, she does this.

11:51

So I'll do this. And I, he

11:54

has come out and apologize. Cause he's got,

11:56

I mean, you would skewered. Yeah. I mean,

11:59

even Dave Portnoy's. Laying on you like

12:01

you need to be your media credentials need

12:03

to be taken away la la la then

12:05

you know you're in trouble Right, but I

12:07

mean Caitlin for her part, you know, hasn't

12:09

really said how it made her feel but

12:12

she's gonna be okay financially She's got State

12:14

Farm. She's got Gatorade like but yeah,

12:16

she'll make it up I mean, it's look

12:18

it's good that this has been going on

12:20

right forever the pay disparity And so it's

12:22

interesting that this has now this has been

12:24

picked up Because it's

12:27

it's trying such as it's such a severe

12:29

disparity right now that we're looking at and

12:31

so the fact that this gets Some

12:33

some press and some attention is great. I

12:36

mean, hopefully things will change. I think so

12:38

I think I think Caitlin will be the change. Yeah,

12:40

I hope so. Okay on to our next

12:42

story to cashi 6 9 Oh boy,

12:44

he's in trouble with the IRS. They

12:47

went into his home in Florida

12:49

Palm Beach in fact and They

12:52

ended up confiscating a bunch of stuff

12:55

We know that they confiscated a couple

12:57

of his cars and Lamborghini. These cars

12:59

are so ugly The

13:01

cars are like they're all there was paint

13:03

splattered, right? Is it like it looks like

13:06

someone took like a paint gun

13:08

or a paint gun? Yeah and splattered

13:10

but they've been confiscated We don't know

13:12

exactly what he did tax wise to

13:14

get everything confiscating his house rated But

13:17

it can't be good. Obviously. No, he's holed

13:19

up in the Dominican Republic right now Because

13:22

and he can't leave the Dominican Republic because

13:24

of various domestic violence Accusations

13:27

and charges not he's trying to

13:29

overcome this guy just like I

13:31

don't know He probably turned out who we thought

13:33

he would be basically. Yeah So is he just

13:36

gonna live in the Dominican Republic forever? We

13:38

can't leave yet until these charges are sort of like

13:40

go through court and that sort of thing and if

13:42

he comes back here He doesn't have any cars to drive. Well

13:44

after uber Uber everywhere.

13:46

Yeah, exactly. I mean, how about the

13:48

feds? They're on one lately. Hah, just raiding homes

13:50

left and right I know they are

13:52

exactly. I mean this one's this one's for tax

13:54

stuff where as Diddy was obviously more But

13:57

he must have just not paid like millions of dollars in taxes Yeah,

14:00

of course. I mean if the feds come so the

14:02

question is once the feds so if you don't pay

14:04

your taxes This will be I'm sure we don't we

14:06

won't know the answer to this, but I'm gonna ask

14:08

it anyway Yeah, if you don't pay your taxes and

14:11

they seize your stuff What happens to that stuff like

14:13

who do they sell these cars who would buy these

14:15

cars? I'm sure someone buy these cars,

14:17

but it'd be probably at a reduced rate

14:19

because they look awful Yeah, but I think

14:21

they have like sales do they have like

14:23

tax say do they have tax sales anybody

14:25

know? Write in and tell us

14:27

if there's some cheap stuff at like some sort of

14:30

tax like debt collecting thing They've

14:32

got to do something right because that's why they're taking it

14:34

unless yeah a repo car and then it gets yeah I

14:37

I don't know. I don't know. We'll

14:39

find somebody who knows somebody right in and fed

14:41

some right in and tell us What's

14:43

gonna happen to Takashi's cars? Okay almost

14:46

news time. Yeah, Sydney Sweeney.

14:48

Oh, man Remember yesterday

14:50

that uh, Hollywood producer Carol Baum.

14:52

She said she's not a good

14:54

actress. She's not even pretty Carol

14:56

Carol Carol well now

14:59

her Rep and

15:01

her acting coach Sydney Sweeney's responding

15:04

basically saying I mean her

15:06

her rep Says that

15:09

she's a she's a good actress, but she admits

15:11

she doesn't have supermodel good looks well That's her

15:13

acting coach. That's right. I think coach. Okay, which

15:16

is I Feel

15:18

like he tried to defend her and he did he said really

15:21

nice things. He said She

15:23

she he was trying

15:25

to say like she's beautiful on her inside

15:27

as well as has like Great cheekbones that

15:30

the camera picks up like he's saying she's

15:32

beautiful, but the way he said it said

15:35

She doesn't have supermodel good look. Yeah, just

15:37

like oh Nothing.

15:39

I mean sir. We

15:41

can't say like no, it doesn't sound like

15:43

a positive does it? No. Yeah doesn't he

15:45

meant He meant well, I'm sure he's now

15:48

kicking himself for saying that cuz he really

15:50

did he said here's what she he said

15:52

He said Sydney's beautiful because she has inner

15:54

depth intellect compassion style and facial features I

15:56

smile cheekbone that the camera angles pick up

15:59

on the camera loves her look as

16:01

well as the audience the audience loves

16:03

her because she's relatable and approachable. What's

16:06

that? Relatable and approachable aren't like oh

16:08

gorgeous. You know what I am? Relatable

16:10

and approachable. If I say Katie. I'm not

16:13

Sydney Sweeney. Katie you're beautiful on the inside. Yeah

16:15

I don't want to hear that. Yeah I mean.

16:18

Someone defending her. Right it's defending

16:20

her. And a rep, Sydney's rep

16:22

said how sad that a

16:24

woman in the position to share her

16:27

expertise and experience chooses instead to attack

16:29

another woman. If that's what she's learned

16:31

in her decades in the industry and

16:33

feels it's appropriate to teach her students

16:35

that's shameful to unjustly disparage a fellow

16:37

female producer speaks volumes about Miss Baum's

16:39

character. Yeah she gives it to her and I

16:41

agree. I bet this Carol. This Carol

16:44

didn't know. I think

16:46

Carol is kicking herself today. I

16:49

think so. But so let's

16:51

it's 2024 how about we just don't comment

16:53

on other women's looks. Unless it's to say
