WEBVTT

00:00:06.250 --> 00:00:08.810
What's up everybody? I'm George Massey. This

00:00:08.810 --> 00:00:11.070
is the George Massey Show. We're gonna do some

00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:14.189
pop culture, the pop culture podcast today. We're

00:00:14.189 --> 00:00:15.330
gonna talk about some of the things that are

00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:19.070
going on in the news right now. It's 2026. I'm

00:00:19.070 --> 00:00:22.250
here with Gina. We're in a new year, right? There's

00:00:22.250 --> 00:00:26.269
a new year and there's new news going on that

00:00:26.269 --> 00:00:29.629
we're gonna talk about some sad stuff, some crazy

00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:32.109
stuff and everything in between. So Gina, how

00:00:32.109 --> 00:00:35.729
are you? How is your 2026 going? It's going good.

00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:40.130
I started it off with a bang as you know Went

00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:43.929
to Vegas went to see Backstreet Boys and then

00:00:43.929 --> 00:00:49.649
got back into work mode How was that how was

00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:51.229
the Backstreet Boys concert I know you've been

00:00:51.229 --> 00:00:54.649
to like 800 of them, but how did this one compare

00:00:54.649 --> 00:01:02.289
to the other 799 it was a spectacular like the

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.019
the scenery on the screen, because it was at

00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:08.640
the Sphere, as a lot of your listeners know.

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:12.379
They are performing at the Sphere. They have

00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:17.599
some February dates coming up as well. Just everything

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.379
was so phenomenal about it. And the graphics,

00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:28.140
the music, it just took me back to a nostalgic

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:32.390
era, to when it was like... 16 and like white

00:01:32.390 --> 00:01:37.310
cargo pants, like blue eyeshadow and silver eyeshadow,

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:42.790
bandanas. It's like a vibe. So I missed a simpler

00:01:42.790 --> 00:01:46.109
time. So what did people wear to the show? Because

00:01:46.109 --> 00:01:49.069
I saw some videos online of people that went

00:01:49.069 --> 00:01:51.510
to the Backstreet Boys show at the Spear. And

00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:54.310
I noticed a lot of people were wearing all white.

00:01:54.670 --> 00:01:58.390
Yeah, that was the theme. So the theme was all

00:01:58.390 --> 00:02:00.250
white. What? Why was there a theme? Because I

00:02:00.250 --> 00:02:01.969
noticed everybody in the audience, they were

00:02:01.969 --> 00:02:04.590
wearing like white shirts, white pants, everything

00:02:04.590 --> 00:02:08.110
was white. Why was it all the white theme? So

00:02:08.110 --> 00:02:11.229
the theme was Millennium. And if you remember,

00:02:11.509 --> 00:02:15.469
the album was like a sky blue and they're all

00:02:15.469 --> 00:02:18.830
wearing white in their Millennium cover album,

00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:21.310
like the original one that came out in 1999.

00:02:22.010 --> 00:02:25.110
You're asking a lot for me to remember what the

00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:27.590
album cover looked like, but as you're talking

00:02:27.590 --> 00:02:30.150
about it, I googled it and I do know what you're

00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:31.990
talking about now, but like I didn't remember

00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:36.870
that at the time. So that was like the theme

00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:41.870
was that Millennium era, right? So like the white

00:02:41.870 --> 00:02:46.449
and the blue and like silver and metallic and

00:02:46.449 --> 00:02:50.150
whatnot. So it was all about that. So how much

00:02:50.150 --> 00:02:53.789
does a ticket run to see them performing at the

00:02:53.789 --> 00:02:57.969
spear? I'm just kidding. It really depends on

00:02:57.969 --> 00:03:01.330
when you get your tickets. So when I got my ticket,

00:03:01.729 --> 00:03:04.909
it was a fan club pre -sale and then I ended

00:03:04.909 --> 00:03:08.210
up getting my tickets for one hundred and sixty

00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:11.050
five dollars U .S. So that's about two hundred

00:03:11.050 --> 00:03:16.099
and thirty Canadian. So about the same. section,

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:18.500
basically, I was actually funny story. I was

00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:20.840
just looking at tickets in the same section.

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:24.520
Just the row behind me for two tickets, it's

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.139
like $1 ,000. So like people are just trying

00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:33.819
to resell them anywhere between 600, like 400,

00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:39.900
600, $1 ,000. But they're not the tickets sold.

00:03:40.939 --> 00:03:43.870
Master they're like people trying to sell them

00:03:43.870 --> 00:03:48.069
on Ticketmaster, if that makes sense. I'm not

00:03:48.069 --> 00:03:50.810
paying $1 ,000, $1 ,200 to see anybody. I don't

00:03:50.810 --> 00:03:53.250
care who you are. And just to give you a little

00:03:53.250 --> 00:03:56.870
backstory, back when Lady Gaga, she had the Monster's

00:03:56.870 --> 00:04:00.210
Ball, like when she was still kind of new, I

00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:02.569
went and saw her at the Monster's Ball two different

00:04:02.569 --> 00:04:05.990
times, front row. And I want to say I paid about

00:04:05.990 --> 00:04:12.789
$135 for each. So I saw her at the beginning

00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:15.590
of the Monsters Ball. She came out to Cleveland

00:04:15.590 --> 00:04:18.910
and I saw her at that show and I did front row.

00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:22.290
And I think I paid a hundred and something dollars,

00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:24.750
less than $200. And then she came back. She like

00:04:24.750 --> 00:04:26.490
started the tour in Cleveland and ended the tour

00:04:26.490 --> 00:04:27.829
in Cleveland. I don't know why, I don't know

00:04:27.829 --> 00:04:29.889
what the situation was, but I saw her twice,

00:04:30.209 --> 00:04:33.329
exact same show, like months, probably a year

00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:35.920
apart actually. And I only paid a hundred and

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.980
something dollars each time. And then once after

00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:40.899
that, she got too big for her own self. And,

00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:42.980
you know, to see her front row was just insanity.

00:04:43.060 --> 00:04:45.980
So I only got to see her front row. Well, I've

00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:47.819
actually seen her front row three times because

00:04:47.819 --> 00:04:50.939
when she first came out, she did a House of Blues

00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:54.800
show when she had the... What was the Just Dance

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.480
album? Was that called The Fame? I think it was

00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.500
called The Fame. And when she had that album,

00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.930
she did like a House of Blues tour. And I saw

00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:04.209
her front row at the House of Blues back when

00:05:04.209 --> 00:05:05.910
nobody really knew who she was. And then I saw

00:05:05.910 --> 00:05:08.910
her on the Monsters ball twice. But I would never

00:05:08.910 --> 00:05:11.129
pay fifteen hundred, twelve hundred, a thousand

00:05:11.129 --> 00:05:13.389
dollars to see anyone. Like, I just think that

00:05:13.389 --> 00:05:17.269
that's insanity. And there needs to be like a

00:05:17.269 --> 00:05:22.110
little more decency out there. Like people are

00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:25.610
paying mortgage prices to see artists. And I

00:05:25.610 --> 00:05:27.589
think the artists really need to stop that because

00:05:27.589 --> 00:05:30.269
they're already rich. Right? Like I remember

00:05:30.269 --> 00:05:33.110
Beyonce, when she was on tour, people were like,

00:05:33.509 --> 00:05:35.230
their houses were going into foreclosure, they

00:05:35.230 --> 00:05:36.850
were using their rent and mortgage money to buy

00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:39.670
tickets, like, and the artists are just letting

00:05:39.670 --> 00:05:43.149
this happen. And actually, brings me to another

00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:45.329
topic that I wanted to talk about, because Ariana

00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:50.230
Grande is working with Ticketmaster to try to

00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:52.949
resolve scaffolding issues on her tour, because

00:05:52.949 --> 00:05:57.910
I guess her tour that she announced I guess in

00:05:57.910 --> 00:06:01.350
October, she's going on the Eternal Sunshine

00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:04.670
Tour. It sold out instantaneously, which nobody

00:06:04.670 --> 00:06:08.470
was surprised by. But the problem was everyone

00:06:08.470 --> 00:06:10.610
who bought tickets, they bought them and they

00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:13.370
just tried to resell them at exorbitant prices.

00:06:13.689 --> 00:06:16.149
So she worked with Ticketmaster to cancel a lot

00:06:16.149 --> 00:06:21.149
of those tickets and go back on sale. and she's

00:06:21.149 --> 00:06:23.029
gonna try to get them in the hands of true fans

00:06:23.029 --> 00:06:24.949
and not scalper. So what do you think about that?

00:06:25.149 --> 00:06:27.649
Because a lot of artists just don't care, right?

00:06:27.670 --> 00:06:29.810
Like I think Harry Styles was having issues with

00:06:29.810 --> 00:06:32.189
his tour announcement and his tickets. And a

00:06:32.189 --> 00:06:33.829
lot of artists, they just kind of look at it

00:06:33.829 --> 00:06:36.050
as, oh, well, I don't know what to tell you.

00:06:36.069 --> 00:06:38.009
If you wanna come see me in concert, you have

00:06:38.009 --> 00:06:40.329
to figure out a way to get a ticket. So she took

00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:43.470
it a step further and she had those... exorbitant

00:06:43.470 --> 00:06:46.569
tickets canceled. And now she's going to do like

00:06:46.569 --> 00:06:48.829
a little lottery or ticket master is going to

00:06:48.829 --> 00:06:51.089
do like a lottery where you can go. Yeah, like

00:06:51.089 --> 00:06:57.389
that's what they did with Taylor Swift. Did they?

00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:02.189
Well, at least in my region, they they would

00:07:02.189 --> 00:07:06.569
do they had a lottery draw. But like, here's

00:07:06.569 --> 00:07:08.970
the thing that's still not going to stop people

00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:12.889
if you have a lottery draw. to resell the tickets.

00:07:12.990 --> 00:07:16.730
So I can solve I can solve this problem instantaneously.

00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:21.310
You should just put a cap on it. No, no, listen,

00:07:21.310 --> 00:07:24.009
listen, I know I have even better version theory

00:07:24.009 --> 00:07:27.110
to stop it. When you purchase a ticket to a concert,

00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:29.290
that ticket is non transferable. And the only

00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:31.610
person who can attend the show with that ticket

00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:33.670
is the person who bought it, the name on the

00:07:33.670 --> 00:07:36.629
credit card. So there will be absolutely no chance

00:07:36.629 --> 00:07:39.920
that you could ever resell it. So if anybody

00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.500
tries to show up to the show and they don't have

00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:44.959
that credit card or the ID to match the person

00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.699
who bought the ticket, they wouldn't be admitted.

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.959
And then we just wouldn't have this issue anymore

00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.980
because they have it to where you can buy the

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:52.680
ticket and then you can resell it and transfer

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.120
it to someone else's name. That's the root of

00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.259
the problem. The root of the problem is giving

00:07:57.259 --> 00:08:00.740
people the option to buy up as many. Well, I

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:01.759
don't want to say as many as they want. I think

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.639
you can buy up to eight tickets and then they

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.040
can transfer them and sell them. to anybody they

00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:07.639
want for any price that they want. They need

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.100
to scratch that. That can't be. You can only

00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:14.480
know. Yes. And I agree that would take more time

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.699
for the to match the name type of thing when

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:19.860
I thought let's face that. But if you put I think

00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:23.019
there are some artists if I'm not mistaken have

00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:28.060
actually put a cap on how much you can resell

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:33.409
the ticket for. Right. So let's say like My ticket

00:08:33.409 --> 00:08:38.149
was $165, right? Let's say I wanted to sell it

00:08:38.149 --> 00:08:40.990
for $265, right? Like, let's just say there's

00:08:40.990 --> 00:08:44.009
$100 because Ticketmaster takes some fees too

00:08:44.009 --> 00:08:47.610
when you resell tickets as well. So let's just

00:08:47.610 --> 00:08:51.769
say $100 bracket from what you originally had

00:08:51.769 --> 00:08:56.090
paid. I think that's reasonable, right? So here's

00:08:56.090 --> 00:08:58.929
my original price, what I paid. Let's say you

00:08:58.929 --> 00:09:04.230
paid $500 originally, right? cap it at 600 right

00:09:04.230 --> 00:09:06.710
so then you pay the stupid ticketmaster transfer

00:09:06.710 --> 00:09:12.009
shit bullshit fees right and then get some money

00:09:12.009 --> 00:09:14.169
off of it not a lot but you know what i mean

00:09:14.169 --> 00:09:16.250
like there's that there should be a cap and i

00:09:16.250 --> 00:09:19.009
think a lot of artists should put caps on how

00:09:19.009 --> 00:09:22.549
much like people are trying to resell their tickets

00:09:22.549 --> 00:09:25.649
through through ticketmaster because it's ridiculous

00:09:25.649 --> 00:09:29.009
there should be caps or like i said reselling

00:09:29.009 --> 00:09:32.039
should just be not allowed Why is I when I was

00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:33.860
looking at the ticket master website for Backstreet

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:35.740
Boys again in February some of the tickets are

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:38.639
going for like a thousand dollars Well, yes,

00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.519
the Backstreet Boys don't really care because

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.340
it's just more money in their pocket and I don't

00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:44.100
want to sound rude Like it's just more money

00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:46.720
in their pocket. Like if you pay well, it's like

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.759
it's not like the money that's going in their

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.080
pocket It's the money that's going to other people's

00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.600
pockets, right? They made whatever they made

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.370
from the original ticket price, right? But at

00:09:57.370 --> 00:09:59.350
the same time, the original ticket price, let's

00:09:59.350 --> 00:10:02.190
say it was like $400. And then there's someone

00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:06.429
else who's selling it for like $800 more to make

00:10:06.429 --> 00:10:10.429
money in their pocket. See, that's actually boys

00:10:10.429 --> 00:10:12.750
are not getting it. It's the other person that's

00:10:12.750 --> 00:10:15.690
getting it right. The scalper is now taking money

00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:17.190
from the artist. And that's why I said I think

00:10:17.190 --> 00:10:20.009
that reselling should be on it shouldn't be allowed.

00:10:20.450 --> 00:10:22.509
And if you buy the ticket, the only person who

00:10:22.509 --> 00:10:25.769
can go to the show is you. And I think that that

00:10:25.769 --> 00:10:28.049
would end this situation because scalpers have

00:10:28.049 --> 00:10:29.789
made a living out of this. These people don't

00:10:29.789 --> 00:10:31.610
have jobs. They just go and they buy up a bunch

00:10:31.610 --> 00:10:34.690
of tickets, hundreds of tickets and resell them

00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:36.409
and they don't have a job. And I was like, the

00:10:36.409 --> 00:10:39.309
only way to solve this issue is if they buy 50

00:10:39.309 --> 00:10:42.409
tickets, then they're useless. You can't resell

00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:45.730
them and it's all bought. Right. So I think that

00:10:45.730 --> 00:10:49.120
that Would be a good way to solve this issue

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.240
because so many artists are suffering and like

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.600
you said The scalpers are taking the money straight

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.039
out of the artist's pocket and at the end of

00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.700
the day If anyone should be making money as the

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:01.879
people who have to go on stage and perform and

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.799
put on a show every single night for months and

00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.440
months and months Those are the people who should

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.139
be making the money not somebody who just sat

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:09.940
at home on their computer and bought 500 tickets

00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:12.139
You know, like why are they making money off

00:11:12.139 --> 00:11:14.279
of a show that they didn't even work on? They're

00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.960
not even part of the production Yeah, so I just

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:22.919
googled it Typically to get master Some reports

00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.179
suggest combined fees can exceed 25 % of the

00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:30.639
tickets about face value when doing the like

00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:38.320
the ticket Resale And something like in some

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.220
cases ticket master may take a percentage from

00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:43.200
the sale proceeds for services and in specific

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.399
instances the buyer may pay additional fees Well,

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:50.600
Ticketmaster is a little at fault here too, Gina,

00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:52.960
because they're taking, they're making money

00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.919
off of each time the ticket is sold. So they're

00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.580
making a bunch of money too. So they're part

00:11:58.580 --> 00:12:00.899
of the problem, right? Ticketmaster is part of

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:03.259
the problem. They're creating an environment

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:05.100
where this can take place and then they're supporting

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:07.740
the environment by taking money for themselves

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:10.620
in the process. So Ticketmaster is getting rich

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:14.779
too. So exactly that's why I said like initially

00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:19.000
like like the artist should have control of like

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.759
no we're gonna cap it at Whatever the person

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.460
pay Charge an extra $100 just to cover those

00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:29.529
fucking service fees and maybe get some like

00:12:29.529 --> 00:12:31.750
something like a little something out of it,

00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:36.110
but not like $600 or $700 is what I'm saying,

00:12:36.230 --> 00:12:39.009
right? Because ticketmaster will take their fees

00:12:39.009 --> 00:12:41.549
and then what are you left with? Right? Like

00:12:41.549 --> 00:12:44.169
I was talking to somebody at my work, his daughter

00:12:44.169 --> 00:12:47.950
got in the lottery draw for Taylor Swift and

00:12:47.950 --> 00:12:51.309
she had floor seats and she sold her tickets

00:12:51.309 --> 00:12:57.269
for $8 ,000 each. Wow. You know what she did

00:12:57.269 --> 00:13:01.549
with that money? She put some aside and she went

00:13:01.549 --> 00:13:07.450
to Bali for a month. Wow, that's crazy. The fact

00:13:07.450 --> 00:13:10.190
you do this and no one is trying to stop it.

00:13:10.190 --> 00:13:13.029
It just shows you that this is crazy. It's crazy.

00:13:13.250 --> 00:13:15.990
And I've heard and I've read some artists will

00:13:15.990 --> 00:13:19.889
be like, no, like, this is the maximum that we're

00:13:19.889 --> 00:13:21.950
going to we're going to put a cap on it. This

00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:25.690
is the maximum that we that we're going to sell

00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:29.470
the tickets for. Well, it should be that way.

00:13:30.070 --> 00:13:32.210
And I think that, and you know what's really

00:13:32.210 --> 00:13:34.129
weird? You know how Ticketmaster has kind of

00:13:34.129 --> 00:13:36.429
been like the monopoly of concert tickets since

00:13:36.429 --> 00:13:39.309
as long as like my whole life. How come no other

00:13:39.309 --> 00:13:41.929
company has been started that can better manage

00:13:41.929 --> 00:13:44.330
ticket sales that can take over? Like, you know

00:13:44.330 --> 00:13:47.200
how... companies come around and they fail, they

00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:48.700
go out of business. Like why is Ticketmaster

00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:51.000
just the monopoly? It's just they're the only

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.440
ones that are in charge of managing concert ticket

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.240
sales. Like why can't there be a choice? You

00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.559
know how if you want to rent a car, there's Enterprise

00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.139
rent a car, there's Budget, there's Avis. You

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:05.179
can choose, right? Like they're all going to

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:07.059
screw you over in the end, but you can choose

00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:08.820
who gets to screw you over. Like why is it that

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:10.600
Ticketmaster, there's just a monopoly. No one

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:14.159
is there to um compete with them they're just

00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.259
the only one so they set the rules because there's

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:18.720
no competition and it's just odd to me that in

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.679
the market of because concerts are a huge part

00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.220
of the entertainment industry market like no

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:26.559
other company wants to take on ticket master

00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.139
and it makes me wonder why like why why wouldn't

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:32.440
another company want their piece of this massive

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.279
billion dollar pie that ticket master has been

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:42.009
dominating for decades um i don't know I don't

00:14:42.009 --> 00:14:45.269
know, like I know there's like other like for

00:14:45.269 --> 00:14:49.049
smaller things, like it's not run by ticket master.

00:14:49.210 --> 00:14:51.669
It's run by like Eventbrite. So there's like

00:14:51.669 --> 00:14:56.029
smaller mom and pop shop ones, but it's not like

00:14:56.029 --> 00:15:00.309
big name concerts. Like for instance, the multi

00:15:00.309 --> 00:15:02.330
-million dollar and billion dollar tourist ticket

00:15:02.330 --> 00:15:05.429
master is usually in charge of. Exactly. Like

00:15:05.429 --> 00:15:09.450
for instance, like Bruno Mars just set a record

00:15:09.450 --> 00:15:12.350
here. and beat Taylor Swift, he's going to be

00:15:12.350 --> 00:15:16.570
performing here for five days, I think, in October.

00:15:17.330 --> 00:15:19.929
And like people at some of like the younger people

00:15:19.929 --> 00:15:23.590
at my workplace were going in fame, trying to

00:15:23.590 --> 00:15:29.269
buy tickets. Wow. Yeah, he's coming here in October,

00:15:29.269 --> 00:15:32.889
right? Like, I'm going to stress myself out because

00:15:32.889 --> 00:15:35.950
like, even though like I like Bruno Mars, but

00:15:35.950 --> 00:15:39.210
it's not concert that I would pay to go to, if

00:15:39.210 --> 00:15:41.750
that makes sense, right? Like, I think he's very

00:15:41.750 --> 00:15:45.830
well talented, but it's not something that I

00:15:45.830 --> 00:15:50.429
would pay for. I mean, Bruno is a good artist.

00:15:50.490 --> 00:15:54.490
And when he first came out, right, he came to

00:15:54.490 --> 00:15:55.990
Cleveland back when I lived in the Cleveland

00:15:55.990 --> 00:16:01.830
area and he did a show at the grog shop. And

00:16:01.830 --> 00:16:03.029
I don't know, you know, if you're not from the

00:16:03.029 --> 00:16:04.610
area, you wouldn't know, but it's like this tiny

00:16:04.610 --> 00:16:07.809
bar is probably the size of my living room. And

00:16:07.809 --> 00:16:10.490
when he got there, he had Just the Way You Are

00:16:10.490 --> 00:16:14.110
that was on the radio. And Grenade hadn't premiered.

00:16:14.110 --> 00:16:16.090
He actually premiered Grenade at the show that

00:16:16.090 --> 00:16:18.029
I was at. He sang it for the first time live

00:16:18.029 --> 00:16:21.990
in front of me. And I saw him up front. The place

00:16:21.990 --> 00:16:25.789
was so small, Gina, that when he was performing

00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:28.730
on stage, I was front row. He accidentally kicked

00:16:28.730 --> 00:16:32.960
me. because I was leaning on the stage. It was

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.600
that small. Like it was like a little tiny bar

00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.879
with like an actual bar that serves drinks and

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.820
then like a little elevated stage that was probably

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:42.899
like 10 inches off the ground. Like it was just

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:44.899
tiny. And the stage was like probably the size

00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:48.039
of two king size beds. Like it was very tiny.

00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.759
So I got to see him up close and literally up

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.980
close like to the point where like he apologized

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:55.720
during the show because he kicked me because

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.220
I was leaning on the stage. So like I don't have

00:16:58.220 --> 00:17:01.259
to pay $1 ,000 to see him now because I saw him

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:03.399
really, really close. And then after the show,

00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.440
um, he came outside and like talked to us and,

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.359
and he signed a bunch of posters and we took

00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.700
pictures. Like he was super cool, but he was

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:15.940
super, super new. Like at the time, like he really

00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:22.430
knew who he was. I think I paid $37 for my Now

00:17:22.430 --> 00:17:24.710
when I hear that he's coming out and, you know,

00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:27.210
he's going to be selling $900 tickets, I was

00:17:27.210 --> 00:17:29.450
like, man, I'm just really glad that I saw him

00:17:29.450 --> 00:17:32.210
when I did, you know, because, and I don't know,

00:17:32.289 --> 00:17:34.670
when I hear somebody, I usually can tell if they're

00:17:34.670 --> 00:17:37.269
going to be big or not. So I try to make sure

00:17:37.269 --> 00:17:39.450
that I catch people right when they first come

00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:41.829
out. And that's when I go see them when I need

00:17:41.829 --> 00:17:44.730
to see them live. I want to do it early. Like

00:17:44.730 --> 00:17:47.390
when Ava Max first came out, the Sweet But Psycho

00:17:47.390 --> 00:17:48.529
girl, I was like, I feel like she's going to

00:17:48.529 --> 00:17:50.890
be kind of big. So she came to the house of blues.

00:17:50.890 --> 00:17:53.289
So I went and started the House of Blues and

00:17:53.289 --> 00:17:55.849
literally she performed last at the show and

00:17:55.849 --> 00:17:57.170
she didn't come out till like almost midnight.

00:17:57.329 --> 00:17:59.589
So like half of the crowd left before she came

00:17:59.589 --> 00:18:01.369
out. So when she came out, there's probably like

00:18:01.369 --> 00:18:04.509
75 people left. So she literally performed right

00:18:04.509 --> 00:18:07.049
in front of us. So it was like, I love seeing

00:18:07.049 --> 00:18:10.170
people before it gets too big. Like, you know

00:18:10.170 --> 00:18:12.490
how there's those people like you want to get

00:18:12.490 --> 00:18:15.829
them when no one knows who they are. Like, so

00:18:15.829 --> 00:18:17.789
here's the thing. Before they're prime. Well,

00:18:17.789 --> 00:18:20.130
right. Like when Taylor Swift was just doing

00:18:20.130 --> 00:18:22.910
little bars, performing at little bars in Nashville,

00:18:23.029 --> 00:18:24.789
like that's when you needed to see Taylor Swift.

00:18:24.789 --> 00:18:27.730
Like now it's too big. It's ridiculous. And same

00:18:27.730 --> 00:18:29.410
with Lady Gaga. I got to see her really early.

00:18:29.690 --> 00:18:31.490
But yeah, you have to have a good ear for that,

00:18:31.569 --> 00:18:32.630
though, because you don't know who's going to

00:18:32.630 --> 00:18:34.829
be big and who's not unless you have a good ear

00:18:34.829 --> 00:18:38.690
for it. Yeah. Well, the fact like I was just

00:18:38.690 --> 00:18:41.650
looking at, like, for instance, Bruno Mars, the

00:18:41.650 --> 00:18:46.529
last like the last show he's doing. I think it's

00:18:46.529 --> 00:18:52.609
here in Vancouver, where I'm from. And yeah,

00:18:53.029 --> 00:18:55.589
so I think the last leg of this tour in October

00:18:55.589 --> 00:18:59.369
is here. And he had to put like four dates out

00:18:59.369 --> 00:19:02.950
here. And tickets are selling for like $1 ,000

00:19:02.950 --> 00:19:07.089
or maybe $1 ,000. I mean, you're probably right.

00:19:07.250 --> 00:19:09.170
It sounds, well, you have to also keep in mind

00:19:09.170 --> 00:19:12.349
that this is his first ever solo album. He did

00:19:12.349 --> 00:19:15.589
a few other collaboration. Albums in the last

00:19:15.589 --> 00:19:18.509
10 years for this is his first solo album in

00:19:18.509 --> 00:19:21.509
a decade. Tickets on the floor for second row

00:19:21.509 --> 00:19:25.869
are running for almost $2 ,000. Yes, he know

00:19:25.869 --> 00:19:29.730
I paid 37 and that's like somebody race like

00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:33.170
that's a reseller. Well, yeah, I'm sure that

00:19:33.170 --> 00:19:35.170
his tour is completely sold out and they're all

00:19:35.170 --> 00:19:40.250
reseller tickets now. But no. I paid $30 and

00:19:40.250 --> 00:19:42.529
he was right in front of me. Like, I'm good.

00:19:42.609 --> 00:19:45.750
Like, I'm so good on that. The nosebleed section,

00:19:46.049 --> 00:19:51.089
it's like $281 in a nosebleed section. Yeah,

00:19:51.190 --> 00:19:52.670
I mean, I would probably still pay that because

00:19:52.670 --> 00:19:55.829
he's really good. But I'm just glad that I got

00:19:55.829 --> 00:20:00.109
it out of my system early. I saw Gaga when it,

00:20:00.109 --> 00:20:02.309
when it was, I could still get a floor seat.

00:20:02.650 --> 00:20:04.450
You know, I still, I did it when it was good.

00:20:04.470 --> 00:20:06.630
Like now those people, it's impossible. You're

00:20:06.630 --> 00:20:08.990
going to, if you even are lucky enough to score

00:20:08.990 --> 00:20:11.569
a ticket, you're going to be in the nosebleeds

00:20:11.569 --> 00:20:14.230
if you even get one. So I'm just glad I got it

00:20:14.230 --> 00:20:18.549
out of the way. Yeah, exactly. But we already

00:20:18.549 --> 00:20:21.710
have our stance with ticket master. Unfortunately.

00:20:22.309 --> 00:20:25.490
Well, they're idiots, but since it's 2025. Oh,

00:20:25.549 --> 00:20:28.410
no, 2026. I wanted to ask you a question about

00:20:28.410 --> 00:20:31.650
2026. So when people go into a new year, they

00:20:31.650 --> 00:20:37.829
go into new goals, New Year's resolutions. So

00:20:37.829 --> 00:20:39.930
is there something that you want to do differently

00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:43.509
in 2026 versus what you were doing in 2025? Did

00:20:43.509 --> 00:20:46.109
you set a goal? Are you working towards a goal?

00:20:46.329 --> 00:20:49.230
Or I'm not really a resolution person. So I was

00:20:49.230 --> 00:20:51.470
just curious of what you were thinking about

00:20:51.470 --> 00:21:01.579
that. think my goal put me on the spot um i would

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:05.339
say well probably not really it's like February

00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:09.420
now so like you shouldn't i know um i think i

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:17.299
need to like have more of a social life and not

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:21.460
be a hermit crab because that's who i am now

00:21:22.110 --> 00:21:25.769
um considering my ratchet ass before i was out

00:21:25.769 --> 00:21:30.089
like five days a week running the streets um

00:21:30.089 --> 00:21:34.009
club hopping bar hopping um but i think i want

00:21:34.009 --> 00:21:37.589
to be like a little bit more like regardless

00:21:37.589 --> 00:21:40.670
of like what's going on in my life i i think

00:21:40.670 --> 00:21:42.710
i need to be a little bit more social with like

00:21:42.710 --> 00:21:45.410
my friends and stuff like that rather than being

00:21:45.410 --> 00:21:49.549
like see crab at home That's so interesting because

00:21:49.549 --> 00:21:51.490
I think my resolution if I have one would be

00:21:51.490 --> 00:21:55.369
I need to be less social and like and focus more

00:21:55.369 --> 00:21:58.130
on like my personal life and stuff because I

00:21:58.130 --> 00:22:02.890
think maybe I'm a little more. involved with

00:22:02.890 --> 00:22:05.549
like friends and stuff then I should be more

00:22:05.549 --> 00:22:07.650
involved with my personal life like my relationship

00:22:07.650 --> 00:22:09.829
and stuff like that so I probably the opposite

00:22:09.829 --> 00:22:11.849
I need to stop getting on airplanes and going

00:22:11.849 --> 00:22:14.069
partying and doing stuff and focus like focus

00:22:14.069 --> 00:22:18.490
more on my my actual oh I will never say no to

00:22:18.490 --> 00:22:23.529
a plane no that's like the only aisle I'm looking

00:22:23.529 --> 00:22:26.410
forward to is walking down in that aisle plane

00:22:26.410 --> 00:22:30.500
right so that's the only aisle I look forward

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:36.039
to walking down to so um but yeah because like

00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:39.099
like your friends are your extension of your

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:42.839
like your family right so like they're there

00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:47.160
when you're down to lift you up and like if you

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.059
don't have that support then who are you going

00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:52.880
to fall upon right so and um I just want to value

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.000
them more they know I do and they know my life

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.019
is like chaotic because I work, I go to take

00:22:59.019 --> 00:23:01.259
care of my elderly parents, I go to the gym,

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.160
like, you know, I'm like running a ruckus. So

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.140
and they get that. So and I couldn't ask for

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:10.180
any better friends than what I like. My solid

00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:13.740
friends that I have now that surround themselves

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:16.059
and support me at the same time. But I just need

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:18.359
to be more social with them, because as soon

00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.160
as I'm like home on a Friday or it's been a long

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.599
week and I'm like, I don't really feel like doing

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.039
anything. I'd rather be home. you're doing nothing

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:36.839
well i don't know i think that i'm well so far

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:39.279
this year i've been working a little better with

00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:42.500
like working out and trying to maintain like

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:45.259
my appearance so i guess if i had a resolution

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:50.420
it's that i'm like worried about looking snatched

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:53.180
than I was last year. Like last year, I was I

00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:54.819
worried about it, but not as much as this year.

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:56.839
Because now that I have somebody to look snatched

00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.119
for, it's like a little bit more like, oh, you

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:01.700
got to look good. You know, you got to look good.

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:04.539
So I'm like a little more focused on that. And

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:07.900
I'm being that's good. You should be right. You

00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:11.319
had always called me the gym freak and gym fanatic

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.259
and we'd never we'd do a 90 day pod together

00:24:14.259 --> 00:24:16.440
you'd be like oh i'm waiting for this bitch to

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:19.420
come home from the gym like really well you went

00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:21.700
to the gym like seven days a week it was very

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:24.720
excessive it was excessive you know i think that

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:28.640
i still go i go four days a week monday to thursday

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:33.380
um i didn't go because i pay every three months

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:36.579
to the community center that i go to and i didn't

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:39.579
go in november because it didn't make sense to

00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:42.900
go in November because I was away for a week.

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.880
So it wouldn't add up. And then in December,

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.180
the community center is closed for like a week.

00:24:49.619 --> 00:24:53.839
So again, there was no point to go. So then I

00:24:53.839 --> 00:25:01.660
started again in January. So. Well, I'm. Not

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:03.779
a gym freak like you. I don't go to the gym.

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:07.200
I have equipment at my house. So I have a gym

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.019
membership and I don't think I've ever physically

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:11.980
been to the gym. So you're just like Chandler

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:15.019
and Ross from friends that had the gym membership

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:17.500
and they were paying for it. Yeah, I don't even

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:19.319
know where they never go. I don't even know where

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:21.039
the gym is to be like 100 percent honest with

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.579
you. It's not too far from my house, but I don't

00:25:23.579 --> 00:25:25.119
even know. I've never physically been there other

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.720
than when I joined. But oh, so I want to talk

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:36.920
about this. Melania Trump movie. So do you know

00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.539
the First Lady has a documentary and it offered

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:44.380
access to the 20 days leading up to the 2025

00:25:44.380 --> 00:25:48.420
presidential inauguration. And, you know, what's

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:51.180
really interesting to me about this is a Melania

00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:54.740
is the first. I thought it was Melania, but whatever.

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.730
Keep going. I mean, I don't know. She's I don't

00:25:57.730 --> 00:26:00.990
know. We're both not into politics. I'm really

00:26:00.990 --> 00:26:03.250
not. I'm really not. But she's kind of like the

00:26:03.250 --> 00:26:05.569
most mysterious first lady because like, remember

00:26:05.569 --> 00:26:08.150
when Obama was president and Michelle was like

00:26:08.150 --> 00:26:11.029
really involved, then she would be on Oprah.

00:26:11.170 --> 00:26:12.950
And I remember that she was the one that made

00:26:12.950 --> 00:26:15.630
it to where the school lunches had to be healthy.

00:26:15.710 --> 00:26:18.890
Remember, she had like the get move. Um, like

00:26:18.890 --> 00:26:23.009
the get moving promote a lot of incentives. Right.

00:26:23.190 --> 00:26:27.549
So Melania, Melania, she's kind of like not really

00:26:27.549 --> 00:26:30.750
active. Like I never see her on TV or doing interviews

00:26:30.750 --> 00:26:33.170
or like saying that she's worried about what

00:26:33.170 --> 00:26:35.490
the kids are eating. You know, I never really

00:26:35.490 --> 00:26:38.069
see her super like active. You know, a lot of

00:26:38.069 --> 00:26:40.809
times the first ladies, they turn into activists.

00:26:41.250 --> 00:26:43.990
You know, they stand up for certain causes and

00:26:43.990 --> 00:26:48.230
they exercise their voices to, you know, positive

00:26:48.230 --> 00:26:50.450
change, whether it's for children or the health

00:26:50.450 --> 00:26:52.309
industry, the food industry, they always pick

00:26:52.309 --> 00:26:54.900
something. you know that they want to work on

00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:57.400
and they spend a lot of time on it so when I

00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.259
saw that she had a documentary I was like well

00:27:00.259 --> 00:27:01.920
what would they be talking about because I don't

00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:04.359
really see her honestly I don't even know if

00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:07.079
I've ever heard her talk Gina like to be 100

00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:09.440
% honest with you like I've never even really

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.000
heard her speak I've seen her standing like next

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.000
to the president but I've never like seen her

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.390
do anything or speak I'm not 100 % Positive she

00:27:18.390 --> 00:27:21.950
can speak like I didn't know so apparently she

00:27:21.950 --> 00:27:23.950
put out this documentary and I think she thought

00:27:23.950 --> 00:27:26.710
that she was gonna garner some Some people that

00:27:26.710 --> 00:27:31.950
were going to be you know Melania Super fans

00:27:31.950 --> 00:27:34.730
cuz you know like a lot of times like the first

00:27:34.730 --> 00:27:38.450
lady can turn into like this this morphed um

00:27:38.450 --> 00:27:41.529
Obsession for people like what was JFK's wife

00:27:41.529 --> 00:27:44.730
name member JFK. I can't remember her name now

00:27:45.049 --> 00:27:49.069
But she became like a huge deal. What was her

00:27:49.069 --> 00:27:52.829
name? Hold on. Let me see. Yeah, I'm looking

00:27:52.829 --> 00:27:59.509
it up, too. Jacqueline Kennedy. Oh, Jackie, Jackie.

00:28:00.109 --> 00:28:03.269
Oh, Jackie. Oh, like. So when sometimes the first

00:28:03.269 --> 00:28:05.750
lady becomes like this huge celebrity and people

00:28:05.750 --> 00:28:08.730
become obsessed with her. And I do know that.

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:11.519
Bill Clinton he was with Hillary Clinton and

00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:13.779
she kind of had a big she was very active during

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:16.400
his presidency and she became like this this

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.380
phenomenon and Jackie Oh I think was probably

00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:21.799
the most popular first lady we've ever had like

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:24.960
she because after her husband was assassinated

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.920
she got married to somebody else but that's the

00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:31.220
fascination um it didn't go away people were

00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:33.240
still intrigued by her and they followed her

00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.630
up until her death so I don't know. I think that

00:28:36.630 --> 00:28:40.049
Melania thought that she was going to become

00:28:40.049 --> 00:28:44.230
one of those infatuated figures for the country.

00:28:44.269 --> 00:28:46.490
And I don't know. I think that it didn't work

00:28:46.490 --> 00:28:48.430
out that way. Because a lot of these reviews

00:28:48.430 --> 00:28:52.009
that people wrote that I was looking at, they

00:28:52.009 --> 00:28:54.710
were not happy with it. And don't get me wrong,

00:28:54.829 --> 00:28:57.130
Gina, I didn't watch this. I don't know what

00:28:57.130 --> 00:29:00.029
it's about. I don't know if it was good or bad.

00:29:00.789 --> 00:29:04.279
But apparently, lot of people are saying well

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.539
first of all not very many people saw it that's

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:09.200
the first thing that was being reported that

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:12.680
it was a box office bomb or or streaming bomb

00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:16.240
wherever it was it didn't do well and then the

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:20.700
reviews for the actual show they're just horrible

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:24.509
very mean but You know, I think the approval

00:29:24.509 --> 00:29:27.009
rating in the country right now for our leadership

00:29:27.009 --> 00:29:29.410
is pretty low as it is So she might be catching

00:29:29.410 --> 00:29:32.410
strays, you know, like she is it might not necessarily

00:29:32.410 --> 00:29:34.369
be her fault I think a lot of people might be

00:29:34.369 --> 00:29:37.809
mad at you know her husband or other people in

00:29:37.809 --> 00:29:41.230
leadership on Positions and then you know, she's

00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:43.269
guilty by association, you know, she might not

00:29:43.269 --> 00:29:45.269
have actually done anything I don't remember

00:29:45.269 --> 00:29:47.130
her doing anything that will make anyone mad.

00:29:47.130 --> 00:29:51.430
I don't remember doing I don't remember her doing

00:29:51.430 --> 00:29:54.750
anything at all. I sent you a post from here

00:29:54.750 --> 00:29:58.150
that said, well, it looks like Canada isn't interested

00:29:58.150 --> 00:30:01.829
in Melania's Trump's movie either. Opening night

00:30:01.829 --> 00:30:06.009
across Canada, no seat sale. And then at the

00:30:06.009 --> 00:30:09.809
bottom it says, I love this for her. To be fair,

00:30:10.329 --> 00:30:14.930
I didn't know it was coming out. Neither? I never

00:30:14.930 --> 00:30:17.910
saw a commercial. I never saw anything until

00:30:17.910 --> 00:30:21.009
I found out that no one saw it. That was also

00:30:21.009 --> 00:30:23.109
really weird to me too, because I was like, Oh,

00:30:23.250 --> 00:30:25.269
shouldn't I have at least seen I do watch TV

00:30:25.269 --> 00:30:27.109
like shouldn't I have at least seen a commercial

00:30:27.109 --> 00:30:30.049
or something or an online ad that was telling

00:30:30.049 --> 00:30:31.789
me she had something coming out because I didn't

00:30:31.789 --> 00:30:34.369
even know that this was in the works until people

00:30:34.369 --> 00:30:36.950
were posting online that no one wanted to see

00:30:36.950 --> 00:30:40.819
it. So well some of the comments in that post

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:47.660
I sent you It's like oh is it a Debbie does Donald

00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:54.000
kind of theme rather watch paint dry Yeah Now

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.079
he's gonna say it was sold out across the country

00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:01.740
and even parts of Canada guaranteed I'm like

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:03.859
if he doesn't if we don't watch it, he'll impose

00:31:03.859 --> 00:31:08.210
another tariff tax Oh, that's kind of funny,

00:31:09.009 --> 00:31:12.910
actually. We do still have some kind of sense

00:31:12.910 --> 00:31:16.029
of humor, like she will still win an Oscar, I

00:31:16.029 --> 00:31:19.710
bet. I'll wait for the DVD from the library.

00:31:20.250 --> 00:31:26.339
Oh, wow. Geez. I mean, at this point. She hasn't

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:28.700
really look I'm just gonna be real like as a

00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:31.220
first lady. She hasn't really made a big impact

00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:33.660
I don't really see her doing much like I rarely

00:31:33.660 --> 00:31:35.680
hear about her or see her at all like a lot of

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.160
times the first ladies are very Visible like

00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.799
I see them on TV. They're active. They're activists,

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:44.740
right? They show up to things They make it known

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:47.200
their presence is known and they make it known

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.299
that they are they stand for something and I

00:31:49.299 --> 00:31:54.680
feel like she's just kind of There I never To

00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:57.200
be real, I don't think I've ever heard her talk.

00:31:58.059 --> 00:32:02.059
She only talks when she's spoken to. Right. Like

00:32:02.059 --> 00:32:03.880
a lot of these first ladies, like for instance,

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:06.779
Hillary Clinton was very outspoken. She spoke

00:32:06.779 --> 00:32:08.740
when no one was speaking to her. She just wanted

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:11.079
to be heard and she had things that she wanted

00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:14.279
to stand for. And she had speaking engagements.

00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:17.880
She was always traveling and she was always giving

00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.819
her time to doing something. And I feel like

00:32:20.829 --> 00:32:23.730
Melania is the opposite. Like, I feel like I'm

00:32:23.730 --> 00:32:25.829
sure she might be doing something. I just don't

00:32:25.829 --> 00:32:28.269
hear about it. I just assume that she's always

00:32:28.269 --> 00:32:30.130
out shopping somewhere because I was like, well,

00:32:30.130 --> 00:32:32.049
what is she doing all day? Because I never heard.

00:32:32.170 --> 00:32:36.089
I never hear or see her anywhere. Yeah, some

00:32:36.089 --> 00:32:38.710
of these comments are hilarious. Someone broke

00:32:38.710 --> 00:32:41.569
into my car and left two tickets for the Friday

00:32:41.569 --> 00:32:47.210
premiere. They played it on an airplane and people

00:32:47.210 --> 00:32:58.210
still walked out. To be fair, I didn't watch

00:32:58.210 --> 00:33:01.210
it. But from the comments, I don't think I've

00:33:01.210 --> 00:33:02.849
missed anything. And honestly, I don't think

00:33:02.849 --> 00:33:04.710
I'm going to catch it on streaming or anything.

00:33:04.849 --> 00:33:07.470
I think I'm going to skip it. Like I said, I

00:33:07.470 --> 00:33:10.450
don't really know what new information it would

00:33:10.450 --> 00:33:12.450
bring me because it says that it's giving you

00:33:12.450 --> 00:33:15.910
like the 20 day up close and personal days before

00:33:15.910 --> 00:33:18.839
the inauguration. But I don't know. She hasn't

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:20.759
really done much since the inauguration. So I

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.539
can't imagine that anything happened during those

00:33:22.539 --> 00:33:25.440
20 days. It is just vital for me to know, right?

00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:27.420
Like I don't I don't I don't think that there's

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:29.059
something in there that will make my life better

00:33:29.059 --> 00:33:33.680
if I knew it or not. Just saying. No, no, no.

00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:36.400
But those were some of the comments here. We

00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:39.720
do. We're we're nice people up up here in Canada,

00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.019
but some of our comments are pretty like catchy.

00:33:44.509 --> 00:33:47.109
Well, yeah, when something happens, I usually

00:33:47.109 --> 00:33:49.190
go directly to the post for the comments. I'm

00:33:49.190 --> 00:33:51.089
just there. In the comments, I want to see what

00:33:51.089 --> 00:33:52.910
people say, and they usually don't disappoint.

00:33:53.009 --> 00:33:55.509
That's usually where I'm laughing hysterically

00:33:55.509 --> 00:33:58.529
when I get to the comments. But speaking of comments

00:33:58.529 --> 00:34:02.650
and stuff, so there's a Pepsi ad that's running

00:34:02.650 --> 00:34:04.950
during the Super Bowl. And you know, last year

00:34:04.950 --> 00:34:09.070
was this huge scandal between the CEO and I think

00:34:09.070 --> 00:34:12.510
the HR lady. I guess. The VP of HR or whatever.

00:34:12.889 --> 00:34:16.469
Andy Byron and Kristen Kabat, the CEO and the

00:34:16.469 --> 00:34:18.269
HR lady that were caught having an affair at

00:34:18.269 --> 00:34:22.409
a Coldplay concert. So Pepsi has jumped on the

00:34:22.409 --> 00:34:26.130
bandwagon of that story, which was huge. And

00:34:26.130 --> 00:34:29.329
they're using, well, what do you call it when

00:34:29.329 --> 00:34:32.349
it's not the actual Coca Cola bear, but it's

00:34:32.349 --> 00:34:35.010
like, it looks like him? Like, what do you call

00:34:35.010 --> 00:34:38.610
that? Like a lookalike? Yeah, I guess. So they're

00:34:38.610 --> 00:34:42.349
using Doppelganger or Doppelganger. They're using

00:34:42.349 --> 00:34:44.630
the Doppelganger, but they're letting him they're

00:34:44.630 --> 00:34:46.849
having the Doppelganger and his girlfriend drink

00:34:46.849 --> 00:34:50.130
Pepsi at a concert. And they're going to get

00:34:50.130 --> 00:34:52.889
caught, you know, just like the CEO. And it's

00:34:52.889 --> 00:34:55.170
it's hilarious, to be honest with you. Like,

00:34:55.170 --> 00:34:59.010
it's really funny. And I know I don't think it's

00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:02.329
good that we keep revisiting these two people's

00:35:02.329 --> 00:35:04.409
the end of their marriages or whatever. Like,

00:35:04.489 --> 00:35:06.570
it's probably not easy for them. But I mean,

00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:08.519
They knew what they were doing. They were grown

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:10.619
and they were at a, you know, like they knew

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:12.380
what they were doing. But, you know, it can't

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:14.880
be easy if they have kids or whatever. We keep

00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.159
bringing up that these people were cheating and

00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:19.139
ruin their lives and their families. Like, that

00:35:19.139 --> 00:35:21.159
can't be easy. But I guess Pepsi was like, look,

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:23.820
we're going to cash in. We're going to put this

00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:26.119
hilarious commercial in on the Super Bowl. And

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:27.440
we're going to. Oh, we should talk about the

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.440
Super Bowl, too, Gina, because the big halftime

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:37.000
show with Bad Bunny is going to be Groundbreaking

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.760
right because they said he's gonna be the first

00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:44.360
ever artist to perform in a dress So the dress

00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.840
he said that he's okay dress did you not hear

00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:49.719
about this? No, this is brand new information

00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:53.920
to me. So he's gonna perform in a dress and He

00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:57.260
is bisexual right? So this is a groundbreaking

00:35:57.260 --> 00:35:59.679
thing because at a Super Bowl a football game.

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:05.380
We don't typically have any LGBTQ Representation

00:36:05.420 --> 00:36:08.199
So this is going to be like a huge monumental

00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:10.739
deal. Everyone's really excited. The LGBTQ community

00:36:10.739 --> 00:36:14.840
is is ecstatic to be represented in this way

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:18.800
as such a an event that doesn't necessarily always

00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:21.559
include them. Right. Then the Super Bowl is very

00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:25.139
it is what it is. It's not super inclusive, especially

00:36:25.139 --> 00:36:29.460
to LGBTQ people. So how do you feel about that?

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:31.920
Are you excited to see Bad Bunny perform? Like,

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.960
I'm not a Bad Bunny fan. Like, I'm not going

00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:36.820
to be like i don't dislike his music i've just

00:36:36.820 --> 00:36:38.579
i've never really listened to much of it i've

00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:40.719
heard a few things so how do you see i would

00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:44.360
go if bad bunny was to come here i'd go that's

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:49.840
a concert that i would go to so uh yeah so i

00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.480
would go see bad bunny because at a point in

00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:55.619
time in my life when gina was running on the

00:36:55.619 --> 00:36:59.280
streets and my ratchet ass um i would go to a

00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.539
lot of hispanic nights where they played a lot

00:37:01.539 --> 00:37:03.860
of like daddy yankee where they played a lot

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:07.039
of like Latino beats and stuff like that and

00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:11.300
like reggaeton and bachata and morangue right

00:37:11.300 --> 00:37:16.159
so like I would definitely go see him right but

00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:19.719
like that's good like I am so happy that he is

00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.960
doing like he's going to be a representation

00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:31.539
of LGBTQ community the rainbow the rainbow Right.

00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:34.159
And he was already representing them, but he

00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.139
decided to perform in a dread. Well, he's already

00:37:37.139 --> 00:37:43.400
been. It's not his first rodeo being on the halftime

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:46.719
show. Wait, he's performed at the halftime show

00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:51.460
before? Yeah, with Shakira, Jennifer Lopez. He

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:57.059
was on J Balvin and Emmy Muniz. Oh, I didn't

00:37:57.059 --> 00:38:00.719
know that. So this isn't like 2020. Yeah, it

00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.880
wasn't long ago. Yeah, he is like the main headliner

00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:08.639
right now. Right? Like, in 2020, it was like

00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.380
Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Those were the two

00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:15.920
main ones, right? Um, so I'm like, no, he's performed

00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:19.000
like, like, I have to remember, you know, he's

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.440
performed at like, a halftime show before so

00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:24.860
I don't think a lot of people remember because

00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:28.059
oh I remember like the Shakira and Jennifer Lopez

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:31.219
because I was like that's hot well I remember

00:38:31.219 --> 00:38:33.420
Shakira and Jennifer Lopez I remember Bad Bunny

00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:36.800
but again I'm not like a big fan so I probably

00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.800
wasn't paying close attention um I'm not like

00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:41.780
a huge Jennifer Lopez fan either I feel like

00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:45.199
she's an outstanding actress but her voice her

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:48.900
voice is very mediocre for me So I'm not like

00:38:48.900 --> 00:38:50.980
big on her music like but waiting for tonight.

00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:54.340
And if you had my love or both classics, 1999,

00:38:54.860 --> 00:38:58.659
it was her year to shine with 1999. Yeah, if

00:38:58.659 --> 00:39:03.440
you have no 2000, 2000 and 2001 2002. That was

00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:08.159
her like, that was her her era like, it's funny.

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:12.340
Like, yeah, she had a spring of it. If you had

00:39:12.340 --> 00:39:14.679
my love was a classic and waiting for tonight

00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.019
is a huge classic as well Like don't get me wrong.

00:39:17.019 --> 00:39:20.360
She's put out some really good songs, but um,

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:23.420
you know her voice is it's not stellar her acting

00:39:23.420 --> 00:39:26.900
skills are stellar She's one of the best actresses

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:29.880
I've ever seen on the screen and I would never

00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.420
question her talent when it comes to acting But

00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:36.280
singing is probably not her best quality. She

00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.599
does it, you know, and I don't know I think that

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:42.260
people probably like her singing because they

00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:45.760
like her acting i think that you know they're

00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:48.460
they're not comparable i think her acting is

00:39:48.460 --> 00:39:50.940
is stellar there's not very many people who can

00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:54.059
do what she does on the screen so well but i

00:39:54.059 --> 00:39:56.340
was right with my first guess when i was saying

00:39:56.340 --> 00:39:59.260
the year i like i just googled it and it was

00:39:59.260 --> 00:40:02.420
1999 when she came out with that album on the

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:05.230
six Yeah, that's when If You Had My Love came

00:40:05.230 --> 00:40:07.750
out, and I believe she debuted her first ever

00:40:07.750 --> 00:40:10.309
performance on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1999.

00:40:10.909 --> 00:40:15.030
I actually remember watching it, and I remember

00:40:15.030 --> 00:40:18.230
thinking that her voice was not as strong as

00:40:18.230 --> 00:40:21.250
I would assume. But when you're such a big star,

00:40:21.429 --> 00:40:23.289
you can kind of do whatever you want. You know,

00:40:23.289 --> 00:40:26.190
she already had a built -in audience, so it didn't

00:40:26.190 --> 00:40:27.949
necessarily mean that she needed to win anyone

00:40:27.949 --> 00:40:29.829
over. We already knew that she was an amazing

00:40:29.829 --> 00:40:31.889
actress, so when you're that big, you can kind

00:40:31.889 --> 00:40:34.559
of just... Do whatever you want, right? Like,

00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:36.719
remember Ariana Grande? She went from being like

00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:40.579
a TV, I think a Nickelodeon star. Was it Nickelodeon

00:40:40.579 --> 00:40:42.099
or Disney? I don't remember what she did now.

00:40:42.099 --> 00:40:45.719
She did the Victorious show and Sam and Cat.

00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:48.340
I don't know what network that was. It could

00:40:48.340 --> 00:40:49.900
have been Nickelodeon or it could have been Disney.

00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:52.780
I don't remember. She also did Pussycat Dolls,

00:40:52.900 --> 00:40:55.079
wasn't it? Didn't she or something like that?

00:40:56.039 --> 00:41:01.400
Who did? Or Ariana Grande? No, she definitely

00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:04.860
didn't do pussycat dolls. She came from the cheetah

00:41:04.860 --> 00:41:09.239
girls. She let cheetah girls. Okay. When did

00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:11.079
she do cheetah girls? She was never in cheetah

00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:15.099
girls. I thought she was. No, that was like Adrian

00:41:15.099 --> 00:41:20.739
balloon. Um, the girl from the Cosby show. Um,

00:41:21.099 --> 00:41:23.840
Raven, Simone. Yeah, Raven, Simone. And then

00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:26.639
there was like the girl. Keely. Yeah, she was

00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.920
never in the Cheetah Girls. Ariana came straight

00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:34.320
from, she did Victorious with Victoria Justice.

00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:37.300
And then after that, she had a spinoff called

00:41:37.300 --> 00:41:40.539
Sam and Cat with the girl who came from the iCarly

00:41:40.539 --> 00:41:43.619
show. And after that, she just jumped straight

00:41:43.619 --> 00:41:46.760
into music. But she already had a built -in audience.

00:41:46.940 --> 00:41:50.300
Everyone knew her and loved her from her acting.

00:41:50.460 --> 00:41:53.460
So it was a pretty smooth transition. And don't

00:41:53.460 --> 00:41:56.860
get me wrong, Ariana Grande has the voice to

00:41:56.860 --> 00:41:59.599
back it up. It's not like she just woke up one

00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:01.139
day and said, oh, I'm going to try singing now.

00:42:01.260 --> 00:42:03.960
She probably should have did singing first because

00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:06.559
she's just as good at singing as she is at acting,

00:42:06.579 --> 00:42:09.480
if not better. So I think it's a little different.

00:42:09.619 --> 00:42:12.880
I think JLo... She thinks she can do both. And,

00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:16.579
you know, based on the the success of her career,

00:42:16.579 --> 00:42:18.719
she has been allowed to do both. But I don't

00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:22.300
think that her her talent is stellar. You know,

00:42:22.300 --> 00:42:25.280
I think that she just she sounds good, you know,

00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:28.219
but to be a world renowned singer, you guys sound

00:42:28.219 --> 00:42:29.920
a little better than good. You have to be great.

00:42:31.380 --> 00:42:34.860
It was Nickelodeon where she got her start. Yeah,

00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.300
Nickelodeon. I thought so. Yeah, it was Nickelodeon

00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:43.949
because it Did you know about Ariana? Did you

00:42:43.949 --> 00:42:48.670
know? Ariana night tonight, it seems like. Did

00:42:48.670 --> 00:42:54.090
you know that her stepdad or her mom's boyfriend

00:42:54.090 --> 00:43:00.989
has links to TLC? No. What do you mean? Does

00:43:00.989 --> 00:43:04.710
he work for the network? No, like his daughter

00:43:04.710 --> 00:43:08.309
or Like her stepdad or her mom's boyfriend or

00:43:08.309 --> 00:43:15.510
whatnot is, you know, the show Plathville. Yeah,

I know. Welcome to Plathville. Welcome to Plathville.

00:43:19.170 --> 00:43:23.989
The girl who divorced Ethan. I forgot her name.

00:43:24.050 --> 00:43:31.769
I think Olivia. Olivia. Yeah, like her dad is

00:43:31.769 --> 00:43:41.340

00:43:41.340 --> 00:43:43.320

one that was dating Ethan, her dad is with Ariana

00:43:49.420 --> 00:43:54.239
Grande's mother. So she's the stepsister to Ariana

00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:58.659
Grande. Yeah. Does Ariana and her have a relationship?

00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:02.840
Do they talk? Um, I don't know, didn't go too

00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.780
much into depth with that. But yeah. I didn't

00:44:05.780 --> 00:44:09.860
know that. That's so interesting. Oh, wow. Oh

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:13.880
no, not Olivia Plus. Sorry. I was getting confused

00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:19.300

of the kids's girlfriend ex -girlfriend. Oh,

00:44:37.139 --> 00:44:41.420
so they're not together anymore. No Wow, that's

00:44:41.420 --> 00:44:44.559
so interesting Veronica Peters Veronica Peters.

00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:49.519
That's her name. She her dad is with area and

00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:54.880
his mom That is wild that's wild, right? I never

00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:59.449
I never would have thought but yeah So oh, and

00:44:59.449 --> 00:45:02.349
I forgot to ask you. So Ariana Grande has her

00:45:02.349 --> 00:45:07.110
new tour on the internal sunshine tour. Is that

00:45:07.110 --> 00:45:09.170
a tour that you would go to? Are you an Ariana

00:45:09.170 --> 00:45:11.130
Grande fan? Would you if you could get a ticket,

00:45:11.190 --> 00:45:15.489
would you go? Here's the thing. She she came

00:45:15.489 --> 00:45:20.530
out when I was like, I got a ratchet in the streets.

00:45:22.289 --> 00:45:24.969
That's gonna be my word for tonight ratchet in

00:45:24.969 --> 00:45:27.889
the street. She came out in a time where I didn't

00:45:27.889 --> 00:45:32.010
really I wasn't really watching Nickelodeon or

00:45:32.010 --> 00:45:35.289
anything like that So like her songs, I think

00:45:35.289 --> 00:45:37.590
you next and stuff like that or good and stuff

00:45:37.590 --> 00:45:40.730
like that They speak to me, but it's not like

00:45:40.730 --> 00:45:44.050
I'm not like it like an Ariana fan I didn't grow

00:45:44.050 --> 00:45:48.010
up with her like her genre of music type of things

00:45:48.010 --> 00:45:51.539
that make sounds Yeah, yeah, I think her music

00:45:51.539 --> 00:45:54.739
is good. And my daughter was younger at the time.

00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.519
So it was kind of a part of my life. You know,

00:45:58.619 --> 00:46:01.280
the TV shows and stuff the kids were watching.

00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:04.480
So it was a part of my household. So I guess

00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:08.159
that's probably why I do like her. Like, I don't

00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:10.239
think I've ever seen her live in concert if I'm

00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:12.860
like, I'm trying to think back. And I don't think

00:46:12.860 --> 00:46:14.699
I've ever seen her live in concert that I can

00:46:14.699 --> 00:46:18.739
remember. And, you know, now it's too late. Now

00:46:18.739 --> 00:46:20.460
it's, you know, if you didn't get it done early,

00:46:20.780 --> 00:46:22.900
you can't do it now. So I wouldn't do it now.

00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:25.519
You know, obviously they're having scalping issues

00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.400
and stuff. So I wouldn't even try, but I don't,

00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:30.760
I think her music is good. And I think she's

00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:32.300
extremely talented. And like I said, I think

00:46:32.300 --> 00:46:35.219
she should have became a singer first. I think

00:46:35.219 --> 00:46:37.179
that was what she really should have been doing

00:46:37.179 --> 00:46:39.500
acting. She was good at it, but I think her true

00:46:39.500 --> 00:46:41.639
calling is singing. She's just, she's, she's

00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:45.210
amazing. And I think that She's doing what she's

00:46:45.210 --> 00:46:50.469
supposed to do. Oh speaking of singers So we're

00:46:50.469 --> 00:46:54.150
2026 Grammys. It's always in February. They have

00:46:54.150 --> 00:46:56.949
announced a huge performing list of people but

00:46:56.949 --> 00:47:00.230
the one thing that stood out to me is Justin

00:47:00.230 --> 00:47:03.489
Bieber is on the list and you know, he hasn't

00:47:03.489 --> 00:47:05.489
performed in quite a while, right? He hasn't

00:47:05.489 --> 00:47:07.309
been on tour in quite a while. He hasn't performed

00:47:07.309 --> 00:47:09.670
in quite a while He just recently put out a new

00:47:09.670 --> 00:47:13.199
album with over 40 songs and this is gonna be

00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:16.159
his first time being back on stage and you know

00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:19.159
he's been going through it you know like he hasn't

00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:26.170
been super easy Right? Like he hasn't been, he's

00:47:26.170 --> 00:47:29.389
not his old self, right? He used to do much better

00:47:29.389 --> 00:47:33.769
with crowds and dealing with paparazzi and the

00:47:33.769 --> 00:47:35.809
pressures of being one of the biggest singers

00:47:35.809 --> 00:47:37.730
in the world. So a lot of people are questioning,

00:47:38.289 --> 00:47:41.090
like, is this good for him? Is putting him back

00:47:41.090 --> 00:47:45.110
on the stage something that he's ready for? And

00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:46.829
a lot of people don't, they don't know, you know,

00:47:46.829 --> 00:47:48.550
like we don't know him personally. We don't know

00:47:48.550 --> 00:47:51.170
what his life is like, you know, behind closed

00:47:51.170 --> 00:47:54.699
doors, but it does seem like he hasn't been doing

00:47:54.699 --> 00:47:58.420
well with things in his everyday life. Like we've

00:47:58.420 --> 00:48:02.019
seen him blowing up on paparazzi. Remember, there

00:48:02.019 --> 00:48:04.900
was like that one meme where they're like, you're

00:48:04.900 --> 00:48:07.139
not clocking it, you're not clocking it. I'm

00:48:07.139 --> 00:48:08.780
standing on business. He was like yelling at

00:48:08.780 --> 00:48:13.420
some paparazzi outside of a coffee shop. And

00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:16.659
we started seeing a lot of videos of him acting

00:48:16.659 --> 00:48:19.840
that way. And I do want to bring up. Acting irrational.

00:48:20.210 --> 00:48:22.050
Well, yeah, and I do want to bring up to you.

00:48:22.070 --> 00:48:24.050
He's one of yours. He's a Canadian. He's not.

00:48:24.090 --> 00:48:26.309
No, no, no, no. You can keep him. He's one of

00:48:26.309 --> 00:48:29.429
yours. You guys adopted him with open arms. You

00:48:29.429 --> 00:48:31.730
can keep him. Well, no, he's definitely yours.

00:48:31.929 --> 00:48:35.000
We didn't get any papers on him. So. I don't

00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.699
know I worry because I think that since he started

00:48:38.699 --> 00:48:41.400
at such a young age and he's been performing

00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:43.559
and you have to remember this this was a child

00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:46.199
and he had toured the world multiple times you

00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:48.280
know I think that it's finally catching up to

00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:51.159
him you know we know that there's no real positive

00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:54.460
effects of becoming a child star. We know that

00:48:54.460 --> 00:48:56.360
when you become a child star, it doesn't really

00:48:56.360 --> 00:48:58.659
affect your life in a positive way. It usually

00:48:58.659 --> 00:49:01.400
affects you in a negative way. So a lot of people

00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.139
are saying maybe he shouldn't get back into performing

00:49:04.139 --> 00:49:09.659
at all. How do you feel about that? I wasn't

00:49:09.659 --> 00:49:12.119
a Justin fan, even though I should have been,

00:49:12.340 --> 00:49:18.500
but I wasn't. Have you seen him live at all?

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:23.150
No. Really? That's crazy. I've seen him really.

00:49:24.190 --> 00:49:27.989
That's crazy. My little cousin, she's in grade

00:49:27.989 --> 00:49:33.289
nine, I think now when he like on his last tour

00:49:33.289 --> 00:49:36.329
when he was here. I think we've had this discussion

00:49:36.329 --> 00:49:40.510
before. Her mom took her to the concert and she's

00:49:40.510 --> 00:49:43.690
just like, well, I regretted that. Right. Because

00:49:43.690 --> 00:49:45.969
her daughter must have been like maybe five or

00:49:45.969 --> 00:49:49.670
six, maybe. She's just like, it was something

00:49:49.670 --> 00:49:53.650
she really wanted to go to, but yeah, I shouldn't

00:49:53.650 --> 00:49:58.090
have taken her because it wasn't. Age appropriate

00:49:58.090 --> 00:50:01.590
basically for like her age basically is what

00:50:01.590 --> 00:50:06.039
my cousin had said. Whoa. Yeah, concert in general.

00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:08.099
I don't know if you've ever been to a Sabrina

00:50:08.099 --> 00:50:11.239
Carpenter concert, but she, they've gotten so

00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:13.920
raunchy and I don't know why the artists have

00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.199
to be over sexualized and I've noticed that too.

00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:20.079
It's definitely not a safe space for kids anymore.

00:50:20.300 --> 00:50:24.019
It's definitely, and it seems like the artists,

00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:27.349
especially like for instance, Sabrina Carpenter

00:50:27.349 --> 00:50:31.610
during parts of her show would mimic sex acts.

00:50:32.829 --> 00:50:34.889
Like, it's gotten to the point where I don't

00:50:34.889 --> 00:50:37.190
know why these artists are behaving this way.

00:50:37.269 --> 00:50:39.010
It's like they have to have some sort of edge

00:50:39.010 --> 00:50:41.210
about them. And, you know, you have to remember

00:50:41.210 --> 00:50:43.989
your fans come in all shapes, sizes, and ages,

00:50:44.050 --> 00:50:47.050
and it seems like they're making it such an inappropriate

00:50:47.050 --> 00:50:51.789
place for kids nowadays. Like... Well, lo and

00:50:51.789 --> 00:50:56.030
behold... It's unfortunately, it's the whole

00:50:56.030 --> 00:51:00.449
sex self. I mean, yeah, it's been like that for

00:51:00.449 --> 00:51:03.309
years. But it's worse now, though, Gina, like

00:51:03.309 --> 00:51:05.949
the shows, they're getting more risque. They're

00:51:05.949 --> 00:51:09.510
doing they're like, let's let's look back at

00:51:09.510 --> 00:51:12.070
Britney Spears' first video. Hit me, baby, one

00:51:12.070 --> 00:51:17.929
more time. Yeah, I remember that one. OK, and.

00:51:18.909 --> 00:51:23.309
obviously what she was wearing, like it's schoolgirl

00:51:23.309 --> 00:51:27.110
outfit, like basketball, playing the basketball

00:51:27.110 --> 00:51:30.969
and whatnot. And like, yeah. So basically sex

00:51:30.969 --> 00:51:35.030
has been selling for years, basically. And that's

00:51:35.030 --> 00:51:37.489
the society we've lived in. It's just evolved

00:51:37.489 --> 00:51:43.369
more and more and more. Yeah, I agree. It's sad.

00:51:43.530 --> 00:51:46.409
Look at look at like Christina Aguilera, for

00:51:46.409 --> 00:51:50.170
instance, as well, like Remember that music video

00:51:50.170 --> 00:51:54.050
Dirty? Yeah, I do remember that. That was very

00:51:54.050 --> 00:51:57.579
risky. Did you notice that? Women have to be

00:51:57.579 --> 00:51:59.900
more risque than men, and it's always been very

00:51:59.900 --> 00:52:03.219
imbalanced. Like, in order to be a celebrity,

00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:05.980
a big star, a big singer for women, you have

00:52:05.980 --> 00:52:10.139
to be very sexualized and slutty and risque.

00:52:11.019 --> 00:52:13.639
But men... Unfortunately, it's a man's world,

00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:18.079
unfortunately, right? Even though some of the

00:52:18.079 --> 00:52:22.199
brightest talent is from women. But it's a man's

00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:25.480
world. Yeah, I think that it's unfortunate that

00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:29.519
a man can go out on stage in a fur coat and jeans

00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:33.179
and fully clothed with a hat on and doesn't have

00:52:33.179 --> 00:52:36.320
to show anything. And he gets the same recognition,

00:52:36.460 --> 00:52:38.360
if not more recognition, but a woman has to go

00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:41.679
on stage in a bra and a thong and high heels

00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:45.019
and she has to twerk. Even though she's fully

00:52:45.019 --> 00:52:48.239
capable of singing and dancing and performing

00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:50.699
and doing everything that... probably better

00:52:50.699 --> 00:52:52.960
than a male performer could do, she also has

00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:55.820
to twerk. And I was like, well, why is this fair?

00:52:56.099 --> 00:52:59.440
Why do we have to degrade women? If she can sing,

00:52:59.980 --> 00:53:02.400
singing should be enough, right? That should

00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:03.719
be enough. You should be able to go on stage

00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:06.019
and showcase your talent, not your body. But

00:53:06.019 --> 00:53:09.039
for some reason, it's just unfortunate that no

00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:10.840
matter how talented a woman is, like look at

00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:13.380
Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey can sing. anything.

00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:14.800
She could sing the phone book. She could sing

00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:16.980
the alphabet. She just sounds amazing. She writes

00:53:16.980 --> 00:53:19.119
her own music. She composes her own music. But

00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:21.719
when she goes out on stage, she has to wear her

00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:24.000
boobs have to be out. Her butt has to be showing.

00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:27.480
We just can't respect women for some reason for

00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.300
their talent. And I can't understand why we haven't

00:53:30.300 --> 00:53:32.179
gotten past that, you know, because there's a

00:53:32.179 --> 00:53:33.920
lot of really talented women who should be able

00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:36.039
to come out fully clothed and perform, right?

00:53:36.099 --> 00:53:37.480
Like, there's no reason why they shouldn't have

00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:40.929
to be They shouldn't have to be in a swimsuit

00:53:40.929 --> 00:53:43.210
when they're not swimming. You know, like it's

00:53:43.210 --> 00:53:44.889
gotten to the point where we need to just stop

00:53:44.889 --> 00:53:47.030
sexualizing it and just let people showcase their

00:53:47.030 --> 00:53:51.750
talent. Exactly. Exactly. I feel you on that.

00:53:52.849 --> 00:53:56.190
It's just really unbalanced. But oh, so I want

00:53:56.190 --> 00:53:57.570
to talk about we've been talking about a lot

00:53:57.570 --> 00:53:59.989
of music today, but I want to talk about this

00:53:59.989 --> 00:54:05.409
huge announcement from Ray J. Ray J went on his

00:54:05.409 --> 00:54:10.730
Instagram. and he announced that he was going

00:54:10.730 --> 00:54:12.750
through some medical issues and we found out

00:54:12.750 --> 00:54:15.570
that he, we knew he had pneumonia last year and

00:54:15.570 --> 00:54:17.130
we knew he was in the hospital and we knew that

00:54:17.130 --> 00:54:20.849
he wasn't doing well, but he revealed that his

00:54:20.849 --> 00:54:23.809
heart is only working at 25%, which is super

00:54:23.809 --> 00:54:27.710
scary, right? It means that 25 % and he may need

00:54:27.710 --> 00:54:32.440
a defibrillator, which I don't know what that

00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:35.760
is, but I'm sure that it's whatever it is. It's

00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:39.019
pretty serious. And he said that he doesn't know

00:54:39.019 --> 00:54:41.380
if he's going to live, you know, past the year

00:54:41.380 --> 00:54:44.280
2026, which is very, it's a crazy statement to

00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:46.920
say. But a lot of people say with your heart

00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:50.019
only working at 25%, you know, the harder your

00:54:50.019 --> 00:54:52.059
heart works, the more likely it's to give out

00:54:52.059 --> 00:54:56.000
the heart is, is a organ that pumps from the

00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:57.480
day you're born to the day you die, it's always

00:54:57.480 --> 00:54:59.869
working and pumping. So with it only working

00:54:59.869 --> 00:55:02.090
at that small percentage, it's very possible

00:55:02.090 --> 00:55:04.550
that it could give out. Do you think that this

00:55:04.550 --> 00:55:07.650
is true? Because, you know, there's some naysayers

00:55:07.650 --> 00:55:10.550
online that are saying, oh, he's just saying

00:55:10.550 --> 00:55:12.949
that he wants attention. But I don't know saying

00:55:12.949 --> 00:55:16.010
something like that. You know, I don't think

00:55:16.010 --> 00:55:17.530
that's something that people would just take

00:55:17.530 --> 00:55:20.349
as a joke and say, oh, say this and hopefully

00:55:20.349 --> 00:55:22.650
people believe it and people are going to feel

00:55:22.650 --> 00:55:24.409
bad for me. I don't know. I think that that might

00:55:24.409 --> 00:55:28.989
be true. You know, I know. A defibrillator is

00:55:28.989 --> 00:55:32.449
a life -saving device that delivers electric

00:55:32.449 --> 00:55:35.110
shocks to the heart to restore normal rhythm

00:55:35.110 --> 00:55:38.690
during sudden cardiac arrest. So you know those

00:55:38.690 --> 00:55:42.610
like machines or whatnot that you see at like

00:55:42.610 --> 00:55:45.429
let's say concerts or like hospitals to give

00:55:45.429 --> 00:55:49.389
you like I've I've had to use one like when I

00:55:49.389 --> 00:55:51.670
took my first aid training it's kind of like

00:55:51.670 --> 00:55:54.269
that like put the stickies on like boom right

00:55:54.269 --> 00:55:56.900
it's an electric shock wave. Oh, yeah, where

00:55:56.900 --> 00:55:59.599
they say clear and then they yeah. Yeah, that's

00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:02.760
yeah. Wow. So yeah, that's pretty serious. And

00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:05.119
I don't know, this came as a shock to me because

00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:06.760
he's been in the news a lot. Like, you know,

00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:08.739
he's been in the news a lot. He's always around.

00:56:08.940 --> 00:56:12.139
And I never would have guessed that he was having

00:56:12.139 --> 00:56:14.800
these type of medical issues. And reading up

00:56:14.800 --> 00:56:17.179
on it, it said that a lot of these issues came

00:56:17.179 --> 00:56:21.519
from substance abuse and alcohol abuse, which,

00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.159
you know, weakens your heart. So when you drink

00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:27.119
heavy alcohol or you're heavy on substances,

00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:29.340
those things can weaken your heart. And, you

00:56:29.340 --> 00:56:33.239
know, he's only I think he's only 42 years old,

00:56:33.340 --> 00:56:36.099
if I'm not mistaken. So he's definitely too young

00:56:36.099 --> 00:56:39.559
to be going through these type of medical issues.

00:56:40.860 --> 00:56:44.679
But he's 45. Oh, he's 45. A little bit older.

00:56:45.139 --> 00:56:48.530
You know, his sister, Brandy. is a huge celebrity.

00:56:48.730 --> 00:56:50.909
They just recently honored her at an award show

00:56:50.909 --> 00:56:54.110
and her music catalog. And, you know, what would

00:56:54.110 --> 00:56:55.989
have been a really happy moment for the family

00:56:55.989 --> 00:57:00.050
now it's being overshadowed by his medical announcement,

00:57:00.269 --> 00:57:04.170
his diagnosis. So we're sending prayers, you

00:57:04.170 --> 00:57:07.929
know, to him because hopefully the defibrillator

00:57:07.929 --> 00:57:11.699
could help him. and we would hate to see him

00:57:11.699 --> 00:57:14.179
only have one year left to live. That's just

00:57:14.179 --> 00:57:16.300
such a scary thing. You know what's crazy, Gina?

00:57:16.780 --> 00:57:19.659
I have a psychic friend that I talk to about

00:57:19.659 --> 00:57:22.400
things like that. And I asked her, I said, if

00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:24.940
you knew that someone had a certain amount of

00:57:24.940 --> 00:57:28.519
time to live, would you tell them? And her answer

00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:30.460
was really interesting to me. She said that I

00:57:30.460 --> 00:57:32.880
wouldn't tell them because when you tell people

00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:35.179
that they have a certain amount of time to live,

00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:38.019
they don't. enjoy the time that they have left,

00:57:38.340 --> 00:57:41.420
they start going into constant worrying and regret,

00:57:41.420 --> 00:57:45.400
and they don't utilize the time in a positive

00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:48.059
way. So when doctors tell people that they have

00:57:48.059 --> 00:57:49.699
a certain amount of time to live, I feel like

00:57:49.699 --> 00:57:53.260
it might be counterproductive. And I know, you

00:57:53.260 --> 00:57:56.340
know, to tell someone that they're dying is not,

00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:58.980
it's devastating. It's not something that anyone

00:57:58.980 --> 00:58:01.440
wants to hear, but it also makes you constantly

00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:03.340
worry. And I think that state of worry could

00:58:03.340 --> 00:58:06.599
actually make the time you have less right but

00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:09.980
sometimes like the doctors are wrong with their

00:58:09.980 --> 00:58:12.360
like with their theories and i know medically

00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:16.880
like everything is evolving but for instance

00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:21.719
back in the 80s my aunt had ovarian cancer and

00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:24.059
they gave her less than a year to live and she

00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:30.360
passed away like two years ago so yeah well i

00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:33.280
know the heart when they the heart is different

00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:36.940
right obviously right but i like i just hope

00:58:36.940 --> 00:58:40.679
that like he's seeing the right doctors like

00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:46.199
and let's be honest like they come for money

00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:49.880
right like they're they have an empire they have

00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:53.940
money like he gets the best health that he can

00:58:53.940 --> 00:58:57.590
type of thing like that um I know it's just like

00:58:57.590 --> 00:58:59.909
with the health care system in the United States,

00:58:59.909 --> 00:59:03.630
usually, if you have money, you're set. But if

00:59:03.630 --> 00:59:05.909
you don't, you're kind of at the bottom of the

00:59:05.909 --> 00:59:09.750
list. Sorry. You're your sol. Unfortunately.

00:59:10.550 --> 00:59:12.429
Yeah, because at the end of the day, because

00:59:12.429 --> 00:59:14.670
I was thinking like, well, if your heart gives

00:59:14.670 --> 00:59:17.690
out, you can always get a heart transplant. Right.

00:59:18.130 --> 00:59:21.610
If your specific heart isn't working, you could

00:59:21.610 --> 00:59:23.409
get a transplant. And like you said, with them

00:59:23.409 --> 00:59:27.500
being public figures and, you know, multiple

00:59:27.500 --> 00:59:30.079
public figures in their family, well -known people,

00:59:30.179 --> 00:59:32.920
lots of money, lots of accomplishments under

00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:36.000
their belt, that might be enough to get your

00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:40.039
name moved up the list a little bit. Oh, like

00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:43.440
money talks, fame talks, credibility talks, recognition

00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:46.219
talks. So, you know, a heart transplant is not

00:59:46.219 --> 00:59:47.920
the same as like you getting like a bone marrow

00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:50.599
transplant or a kidney transplant. A heart transplant

00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:54.170
means that your donor is no longer living. Exactly.

00:59:54.590 --> 00:59:56.389
Because I was like, if it was like a kidney,

00:59:56.489 --> 00:59:58.590
he could just find someone who's a match and

00:59:58.590 --> 01:00:01.110
go through that process. But when you get a heart

01:00:01.110 --> 01:00:03.150
transplant, you have to wait for someone to pass

01:00:03.150 --> 01:00:06.550
away, which complicates the process because you

01:00:06.550 --> 01:00:08.190
can't just find someone who's a match and then

01:00:08.190 --> 01:00:10.469
they give you that organ because without their

01:00:10.469 --> 01:00:13.389
organ, they're not going to live. So it makes

01:00:13.389 --> 01:00:17.329
this process a little bit more complex. Exactly.

01:00:17.329 --> 01:00:20.610
But as you mentioned, they have family members

01:00:20.610 --> 01:00:24.429
in the music industry. He does, like his sister

01:00:24.429 --> 01:00:28.150
Brandy, Snoop Dogg is also related to them as

01:00:28.150 --> 01:00:34.469
well. So. Yeah. I'm hoping that things work out.

01:00:34.550 --> 01:00:37.389
We know he has small children and, you know,

01:00:37.409 --> 01:00:39.349
we are hoping things work out for him. So speaking

01:00:39.349 --> 01:00:42.510
of that. Oh, wow. This is like a grim. The show

01:00:42.510 --> 01:00:45.230
is taking a grim turn. It's taking a turn for

01:00:45.230 --> 01:00:47.369
the worse. Yeah. The next couple of stories are

01:00:47.369 --> 01:00:50.869
pretty grim because we found out that Snoop Dogg's

01:00:50.869 --> 01:00:55.639
daughter. Passed away unfortunately not his daughter

01:00:55.639 --> 01:00:57.780
his granddaughter and daughter. Oh my god I'm

01:00:57.780 --> 01:00:59.699
so sorry his granddaughter his ten -month -old

01:00:59.699 --> 01:01:06.159
granddaughter Cody who I believe was Born premature

01:01:06.159 --> 01:01:10.199
She was I was just like well what happened there?

01:01:10.440 --> 01:01:12.519
They're not going into too much detail Which

01:01:12.519 --> 01:01:15.619
I respect the privacy of the family from the

01:01:15.619 --> 01:01:22.590
TMZ article that I read but it just said in It

01:01:22.590 --> 01:01:25.630
just says, uh, Saturday afternoon, sharing a

01:01:25.630 --> 01:01:28.170
black and white photo is where she's grimming

01:01:28.170 --> 01:01:30.329
and mothering, holding Cody in her arms. She

01:01:30.329 --> 01:01:32.269
writes, Cody, the love of my life passed away

01:01:32.269 --> 01:01:35.469
Monday, adding an angel wing emoji to the, to

01:01:35.469 --> 01:01:38.030
the post. Cody was born three months premature,

01:01:38.030 --> 01:01:42.090
um, revealed in February of last year, but he

01:01:42.090 --> 01:01:45.510
spent most of the next 10 months in the, uh,

01:01:45.610 --> 01:01:51.090
the, um, natural intensive care unit or NICU.

01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:57.460
However, three weeks ago, shared a photo of her

01:01:57.460 --> 01:02:00.539
relaxing in bed together telling followers God

01:02:00.539 --> 01:02:03.599
heard all their prayers. Cody's father, Wayne

01:02:03.599 --> 01:02:06.340
Deuce, also shared a heartfelt tribute to his

01:02:06.340 --> 01:02:08.860
daughter writing on social media that he will

01:02:08.860 --> 01:02:11.780
always be with her at rest of peace. So that's

01:02:11.780 --> 01:02:15.599
pretty sad. I don't wish it on anybody. And upon

01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:18.280
looking into it, I was like, I think this isn't

01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:21.980
the only time. That he had a grandchild passed

01:02:21.980 --> 01:02:25.059
away and I looked into it and there's a people

01:02:25.059 --> 01:02:29.219
article that says that Snoop Dogg's son His ten

01:02:29.219 --> 01:02:32.619
-month -old child passed away. Um, the child's

01:02:32.619 --> 01:02:36.440
name was Chi love and it passed away in 2019

01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:39.119
So this is this is it says what's with the ten

01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:42.400
-month mark? Well, one was ten days old when

01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:45.980
he passed away. Um his Child Chi love died ten

01:02:45.980 --> 01:02:50.079
days after birth and cord a on his son was the

01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:53.099
father and now this is his daughter's child.

01:02:53.539 --> 01:02:56.400
So this isn't the first time this happened to

01:02:56.400 --> 01:02:58.960
the family. I can't even imagine what they're

01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:01.840
going through. So this has happened twice and

01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:05.739
it happened in 2019. His son lost a 10 -day -old

01:03:05.739 --> 01:03:09.179
baby and now his daughter lost a 10 -month -old

01:03:09.179 --> 01:03:12.480
baby. I can't even imagine what that's like.

01:03:12.619 --> 01:03:15.699
Right? You know, and losing anyone is hard, but

01:03:15.699 --> 01:03:18.800
especially a baby, you know, because you already

01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:20.480
feel like they're helpless and you have to do

01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:23.119
everything you can to help them. And I can't

01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:26.119
imagine what that feels like to know that knowing

01:03:26.119 --> 01:03:28.039
you did everything you could, you couldn't save

01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:30.179
your baby. I can't imagine what that's like.

01:03:31.239 --> 01:03:34.719
I can't either. I wouldn't even, and I'm not

01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:36.480
a fan of Justin Bieber, but I wouldn't even wish

01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:39.039
that upon his child. I wouldn't wish that upon

01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:42.599
any child. No, it's it's horrible. So yeah, when

01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:45.239
I heard that story, I was like, huh, so weird,

01:03:45.340 --> 01:03:47.239
because I feel like I've heard this story. It

01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:50.099
sounds familiar, right? Like the same. Yeah,

01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:52.199
confusing. Because I was like, I've heard this

01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:54.239
story with Snoop Sox name before. And then I

01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.039
looked into it. And I was like, Oh, my gosh,

01:03:56.420 --> 01:03:59.159
this happened in 2019 with his son. So this,

01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:02.079
this is not a new situation to the family. But

01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:04.820
I guarantee you it's a difficult situation for

01:04:04.820 --> 01:04:06.860
the family. So sending thoughts, prayers, and

01:04:06.860 --> 01:04:09.579
love to the family and hope that they are doing

01:04:09.579 --> 01:04:13.420
well. And unfortunately, next story is just as

01:04:13.420 --> 01:04:16.579
grim. So I don't know if you watch the show Schitt's

01:04:16.579 --> 01:04:18.739
Creek. It's one of my favorite shows in the entire

01:04:18.739 --> 01:04:20.500
world, Gina. I don't know. If you haven't watched

01:04:20.500 --> 01:04:22.619
it, it's fine. You can totally still watch it.

01:04:22.619 --> 01:04:26.980
It tracks. But I watched Schitt's Creek. I've

01:04:26.980 --> 01:04:29.119
actually re -watched it multiple times. It's

01:04:29.119 --> 01:04:32.360
just really, really good. And one of the actors

01:04:32.360 --> 01:04:36.420
on the show, she goes and does the character

01:04:36.420 --> 01:04:40.260
Moira Rose. And it's probably the funniest, one

01:04:40.260 --> 01:04:42.059
of the funniest characters in the world, other

01:04:42.059 --> 01:04:45.920
than maybe Miss Doubtfire, Catherine O 'Hara,

01:04:46.260 --> 01:04:49.889
who is this legendary. actress, she did Home

01:04:49.889 --> 01:04:53.070
Alone, she did Beetlejuice, she did - That was

01:04:53.070 --> 01:04:56.809
filmed that, um, Schitt's Creek was filmed here

01:04:56.809 --> 01:05:00.710
in Toronto, or in Ontario in Canada. Yes, it

01:05:00.710 --> 01:05:03.949
actually was! Yeah, they did. And I think a lot

01:05:03.949 --> 01:05:06.130
of, a couple other places are still available

01:05:06.130 --> 01:05:08.150
to visit. There are people who still do the tour,

01:05:08.190 --> 01:05:10.769
which is on my list, so I might be going up there

01:05:10.769 --> 01:05:13.510
to see the hotel, and there's a couple of other

01:05:13.510 --> 01:05:15.789
places. I think the Apothecary is there as well

01:05:15.789 --> 01:05:17.909
that you can visit. Cause you know, I like to

01:05:17.909 --> 01:05:22.329
do my location tours. I did the strange location

01:05:22.329 --> 01:05:25.469
tour. I like to do my location tours, but we

01:05:25.469 --> 01:05:28.610
had a shocking story that happened. Um, Catherine

01:05:28.610 --> 01:05:31.170
O 'Hara, most people she's, she's an automatic

01:05:31.170 --> 01:05:32.730
figure. You're going to know exactly who she

01:05:32.730 --> 01:05:35.320
is when you see her. because she was Kevin's

01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:38.119
mom at Home Alone. She was Kate McAllister. But

01:05:38.119 --> 01:05:40.179
she did so many other monumental things like

01:05:40.179 --> 01:05:42.800
Beetlejuice movies. And then Schitt's Creek took

01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:44.679
over the world. It's like a phenomenon. There's

01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:46.900
like literally Reddit groups that are just about

01:05:46.900 --> 01:05:51.320
that show. She had a medical emergency at 5am

01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:53.880
and then passed away later that day, which shocked

01:05:53.880 --> 01:05:56.710
everyone, right? Because nobody knew. that she

01:05:56.710 --> 01:05:58.570
was sick or if she was sick or what's going on.

01:05:58.650 --> 01:06:01.389
And the family has been really tight lipped about

01:06:01.389 --> 01:06:05.309
what took place. And I know TMZ released a phone

01:06:05.309 --> 01:06:11.530
call with 911 and dispatchers and the ER ambulance

01:06:11.530 --> 01:06:13.230
that was sent. And they said that the person

01:06:13.230 --> 01:06:16.250
was having trouble breathing. And that's literally

01:06:16.250 --> 01:06:19.389
all we got. But it's just she was really young,

01:06:19.409 --> 01:06:23.699
Gina. She was only 71. Yeah. and I did some research

01:06:23.699 --> 01:06:25.639
you know me I have to research everything so

01:06:25.639 --> 01:06:28.820
you know um the mom and dad from home alone they've

01:06:28.820 --> 01:06:32.440
both passed away now and I looked it up and he

01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:36.219
died I think in 2017 or 18 he passed away at

01:06:36.219 --> 01:06:41.559
the age of 71 that's creepy isn't it creepy so

01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:45.710
yeah um Katherine O 'Hara passed away at the

01:06:45.710 --> 01:06:48.449
age of 71, and the dad from Home Alone, you know,

01:06:48.489 --> 01:06:50.329
they weren't married in real life, but I thought

01:06:50.329 --> 01:06:52.289
it was just really creepy and strange that they

01:06:52.289 --> 01:06:55.530
both passed away at the same age, and they played

01:06:55.530 --> 01:06:58.289
a husband and wife in Home Alone, which, you

01:06:58.289 --> 01:07:00.469
know, I look for strange things. I'm always into

01:07:00.469 --> 01:07:04.300
the strange connections to things, and... I just

01:07:04.300 --> 01:07:05.480
looked into it because I was like, well, wait,

01:07:05.579 --> 01:07:07.500
is the dad still alive? You know, I go down rabbit

01:07:07.500 --> 01:07:09.960
holes. So I was like, well, let me look into

01:07:09.960 --> 01:07:12.739
this. And then I saw that. And it was just really

01:07:12.739 --> 01:07:14.760
shocking, though, for me. I opened my computer

01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.380
and it popped up on the screen and it kind of

01:07:17.380 --> 01:07:19.739
freaked me out because the last time I was in

01:07:19.739 --> 01:07:23.739
Atlanta, I was watching Schitt's Creek. Like

01:07:23.739 --> 01:07:26.719
I was watching TV. I was and it was just a rerun

01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:29.219
episode. And I remember it was the A Little Bit

01:07:29.219 --> 01:07:33.260
of Lexus episode. and I was watching it and so

01:07:33.260 --> 01:07:34.860
it caught me off guard because I was literally

01:07:34.860 --> 01:07:36.480
just watching the show and don't get me wrong

01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:39.219
the show ended in this 2019 but I was watching

01:07:39.219 --> 01:07:41.719
it I had it on reruns and I was watching it so

01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:44.079
this literally was like a week ago so when I

01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:45.739
saw that she passed away it kind of hit me hard

01:07:45.739 --> 01:07:49.440
I was like what I can't believe that you know

01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:53.559
and of all people in the world you know You just

01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:55.480
never know when people are gonna leave the world,

01:07:55.559 --> 01:07:57.400
you know, you just never know You're never ready

01:07:57.400 --> 01:07:59.960
right and I don't know her we've never met but

01:07:59.960 --> 01:08:04.780
it still affected me, you know Yeah, so like

01:08:04.780 --> 01:08:08.840
I got the notification on my on my watch right

01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:12.179
like the Apple News when it when it happened

01:08:12.179 --> 01:08:17.460
on my watch so So then I'm like, oh shit, are

01:08:17.460 --> 01:08:21.180
you kidding me right now and then yeah And so

01:08:21.180 --> 01:08:25.159
it was like, because she is she is Canadian,

01:08:25.479 --> 01:08:29.460
right? She is from Ontario. So, yeah, we have

01:08:29.460 --> 01:08:34.819
a lot of Canadians that have a lot of potential,

01:08:35.140 --> 01:08:38.039
whether it be in singing, acting. Yeah, a lot

01:08:38.039 --> 01:08:41.279
of we're not called North like Hollywood North

01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:45.560
for a reason. Well, yeah, Canada has a lot of

01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:50.640
talent and a lot of people that have come from

01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:53.800
small parts of Canada and just turned into a

01:08:53.800 --> 01:08:57.039
phenomenon, right? Like, it's crazy how we'll

01:08:57.039 --> 01:08:59.420
hear that person was from some unknown part of

01:08:59.420 --> 01:09:01.800
Canada, and now they're a household name. We

01:09:01.800 --> 01:09:04.800
hear that happen a lot. Exactly. Like, there

01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:07.560
was unfortunately, he was in Home Alone as well.

01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:13.420
But John Candy was also a Canadian as well. Oh,

01:09:13.420 --> 01:09:15.779
right. I think he was in Home Alone Lost in New

01:09:15.779 --> 01:09:17.460
York, right? I'm pretty sure he was in Lost in

01:09:17.460 --> 01:09:22.159
New York. No, he was in the first one. He played

01:09:22.159 --> 01:09:28.960
the guy who takes Kate back to the home, part

01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:35.260
of that band. Or whatever, the polka band. Yeah,

01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:38.539
I'm pretty sure. That was that was the first

01:09:38.539 --> 01:09:40.560
one. Oh, that was the first one. I don't know

01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:42.279
why I thought that was lost in New York. Yeah,

01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:47.079
you're right. I have no idea. So there's a lot

01:09:47.079 --> 01:09:52.119
of talent up here. What's his face? I told June

01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:57.859
Shibuti like from Stranger Things is also Canadian

01:09:57.859 --> 01:10:03.460
as well. He actually went to my high school that

01:10:03.460 --> 01:10:06.930
I went to as well. So. Yeah, there's a lot of,

01:10:06.930 --> 01:10:11.189
a lot of talent up here. So it just goes unnoticed

01:10:11.189 --> 01:10:15.289
sometimes. Well, I think a lot of times when

01:10:15.289 --> 01:10:17.489
celebrities are from Canada, it's pretty well

01:10:17.489 --> 01:10:19.050
known. Like, I'm pretty sure a lot of people

01:10:19.050 --> 01:10:21.090
are aware that Justin Bieber is Canadian and

01:10:21.090 --> 01:10:25.409
Drake is Canadian. Celine Dion is Canadian. I

01:10:25.409 --> 01:10:27.750
don't think I was aware that Catherine O 'Hara

01:10:27.750 --> 01:10:32.130
was a Canadian native. I didn't know that until

01:10:32.130 --> 01:10:35.840
after, but. You know, it's kind of interesting

01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:39.300
how so many people have come from that country,

01:10:40.140 --> 01:10:42.539
right? Like a lot of times we don't realize that

01:10:42.539 --> 01:10:44.579
these big name people came from some little tiny

01:10:44.579 --> 01:10:47.699
place in Canada somewhere. A tiny little place.

01:10:48.159 --> 01:10:51.180
Love it how you refer Canada as a tiny little

01:10:51.180 --> 01:10:54.000
place. It's tiny compared to the, you know, in

01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:56.159
the grand scheme of things. You know, there's

01:10:56.159 --> 01:10:59.130
a lot less people there. there's a lot less usable

01:10:59.130 --> 01:11:01.430
space there like most of the parts of Canada

01:11:01.430 --> 01:11:03.649
are like, what do you call it when it's like

01:11:03.649 --> 01:11:06.130
covered in snow and it's unusable? I don't know.

01:11:06.829 --> 01:11:09.130
You know how in America, we just have woods,

01:11:09.289 --> 01:11:11.329
we don't have a lot of there's like woods everywhere

01:11:11.329 --> 01:11:13.250
that we don't use in Canada, there's just like

01:11:13.250 --> 01:11:18.590
a lot of frozen over lakes and mountains and

01:11:18.590 --> 01:11:22.189
just unused space. So I think that when I think

01:11:22.189 --> 01:11:24.850
that's why that's why a lot of places will come

01:11:24.850 --> 01:11:27.789
here to film. Well, yeah, because you don't have

01:11:27.789 --> 01:11:30.090
a lot of space that you can use where there's

01:11:30.090 --> 01:11:33.130
not a lot of people or a city to disrupt. There's

01:11:33.130 --> 01:11:35.550
just all this open space, which I think is really

01:11:35.550 --> 01:11:37.850
cool. Not a lot. I mean, we have a little bit

01:11:37.850 --> 01:11:39.609
of open space here in the US, but nowhere near

01:11:39.609 --> 01:11:43.850
as much as Canada does. But it just depends on

01:11:43.850 --> 01:11:47.090
what scenery you're looking for and what part

01:11:47.090 --> 01:11:49.710
of Canada, right? Like, you were in Seattle.

01:11:49.850 --> 01:11:53.369
You probably saw some of our Canadian mountains

01:11:53.369 --> 01:11:56.180
from Seattle. but it's kind of like the same

01:11:56.180 --> 01:12:00.460
vibe basically so we have mountains and ocean

01:12:00.460 --> 01:12:04.699
and yeah so that's that and we have a lot of

01:12:04.699 --> 01:12:09.939
like forests and like land as you mentioned right

01:12:09.939 --> 01:12:14.840
so really good hot spots for filming yeah yeah

01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:16.460
you're right there's a lot of space that you

01:12:16.460 --> 01:12:20.090
can use and um The best part about it is when

01:12:20.090 --> 01:12:22.250
people film in Canada, you can't really tell

01:12:22.250 --> 01:12:24.430
where it is. You can pretend you're anywhere

01:12:24.430 --> 01:12:28.229
in the world. Exactly. There's a lot of stupid

01:12:28.229 --> 01:12:32.800
Hallmark movies that are filmed here, too. they're

01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:35.159
in middle America. And it's actually right in

01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:36.739
the middle of Canada, which is kind of cool.

01:12:37.100 --> 01:12:40.560
But yeah, unfortunately, we lost Catherine O

01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:42.640
'Hara, which is so shocking. And I don't know

01:12:42.640 --> 01:12:44.939
if you've watched Schitt's Creek. But if you

01:12:44.939 --> 01:12:47.000
haven't, you really do need to watch it. It's

01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:50.840
like an amazing show. Like I'll have to stream

01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:52.659
it. I don't know where I would watch it. But

01:12:52.659 --> 01:12:54.939
I would have to stream see where I would watch

01:12:54.939 --> 01:13:00.130
it. But I were no it's on Hulu. On Hulu. Yeah

01:13:00.130 --> 01:13:03.529
I'll see where it's filmed cuz like not filmed.

01:13:03.529 --> 01:13:08.970
I'll see where I can Stream it because some streaming

01:13:08.970 --> 01:13:13.670
Shows like it's different from like on Netflix.

01:13:13.670 --> 01:13:19.590
It it's different say they have different Movies

01:13:19.590 --> 01:13:22.510
or different shows compared to like Canada and

01:13:22.510 --> 01:13:29.909
the US in Europe even so Yeah, so I'll see where

01:13:29.909 --> 01:13:33.630
I can watch it. It's so good. It's so good. And

01:13:33.630 --> 01:13:36.050
I didn't watch it from the beginning, but I think

01:13:36.050 --> 01:13:38.329
by the time someone told me to watch it, the

01:13:38.329 --> 01:13:40.670
show was already a couple of seasons in maybe.

01:13:41.289 --> 01:13:45.029
I know my brother did the same thing for me with

01:13:45.029 --> 01:13:50.510
that show called Superstore. Yeah, Superstore.

01:13:51.170 --> 01:13:54.510
Yeah, that was good, too. That one was really

01:13:54.510 --> 01:13:55.989
good. I think that was also filmed in somewhere

01:13:55.989 --> 01:13:59.710
in Canada. No, it wasn't. Well, I think the store

01:13:59.710 --> 01:14:02.210
that they use is a Canadian store. It had some.

01:14:02.590 --> 01:14:06.829
Yeah, the name. The name Superstore is a Canadian

01:14:06.829 --> 01:14:11.829
store here. Grocery store. There is some tie

01:14:11.829 --> 01:14:18.100
connection. Yeah. Schitt's Creek is amazing and

01:14:18.100 --> 01:14:21.779
rest in peace to the amazing Catherine O 'Hara.

01:14:22.220 --> 01:14:25.180
She's talented, left her mark on the world and

01:14:25.180 --> 01:14:28.819
she did such iconic roles and she'll never be

01:14:28.819 --> 01:14:30.939
forgotten. And I think we talked about this on

01:14:30.939 --> 01:14:32.779
the Christmas special, Home Alone is just one

01:14:32.779 --> 01:14:35.359
of those movies that you just watch every year

01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:39.300
and it never gets old and it's just part of the

01:14:39.300 --> 01:14:42.000
season. So she'll always be a part of the Christmas

01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:45.390
season for me. Um, and when I think of Christmas,

01:14:45.390 --> 01:14:49.270
I think of that movie. I think of her, so. Exactly.

01:14:49.789 --> 01:14:53.130
So I think on my Netflix here, they only have

01:14:53.130 --> 01:14:57.149
seasons four to six. Oh, well that's no good.

01:14:57.750 --> 01:15:00.810
And you know me, I have to watch a show from

01:15:00.810 --> 01:15:04.710
like the first episode, the very first episode,

01:15:04.729 --> 01:15:07.270
the first season, season one. But I found it

01:15:07.270 --> 01:15:10.289
on another app that I could, um, watch it on,

01:15:10.350 --> 01:15:14.420
which is a comedian app. Yeah, I would suggest

01:15:14.420 --> 01:15:16.960
watching it from the beginning. I would suggest

01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:20.920
that because he's Canadian to the other guy.

01:15:21.840 --> 01:15:24.340
One of the other guys on here is Canadian as

01:15:24.340 --> 01:15:28.060
well. Hold on. I'll give you his name. You've

01:15:28.060 --> 01:15:33.119
seen him in other stuff, too. But I think he

01:15:33.119 --> 01:15:37.279
played what's it called? Dad on an American pie.

01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:41.270
Just give me a second. Oh, Eugene Libby. Yeah,

01:15:42.010 --> 01:15:45.510
Eugene Levy, I think he's Canadian as well. Well,

01:15:45.649 --> 01:15:51.130
his son, Dan Levy is also on Schitt's Creek.

01:15:51.750 --> 01:15:54.289
Yeah, Eugene Levy is Canadian. Yeah, that's what

01:15:54.289 --> 01:15:57.989
I thought. Yes, as he's from some weird tiny

01:15:57.989 --> 01:16:00.789
place called Hamilton, Canada. So yeah, Hamilton,

01:16:01.010 --> 01:16:03.550
Ontario, and it's not a tiny place. Why do you

01:16:03.550 --> 01:16:06.369
always presume that Canada has like three people?

01:16:06.840 --> 01:16:09.760
Well, I've never heard of Hamilton, Canada. I've

01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:13.680
never heard of it. Hamilton, Ontario. It's quite

01:16:13.680 --> 01:16:17.239
a big city. There's an airport there. Oh, well,

01:16:17.260 --> 01:16:20.579
I mean, every city has an airport, Gina. Every

01:16:20.579 --> 01:16:23.220
city has an airport. I mean, I've never heard

01:16:23.220 --> 01:16:26.479
of it. So I assume there's some small, tiny little

01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:30.640
one horse. No, no, it's not like a one horse

01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:35.220
buggy and carriage. The population is about 569

01:16:35.220 --> 01:16:38.680
,000 people in 2021. Oh, yeah, that's really

01:16:38.680 --> 01:16:42.239
small. That's tiny. Yeah, I think Los Angeles

01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:47.260
has like millions of people. So 500 ,000 people

01:16:47.260 --> 01:16:52.489
is kind of small. in the grand scheme of things.

01:16:52.750 --> 01:16:57.170
I think, okay, so Los Angeles has 4 million people

01:16:57.170 --> 01:17:00.390
that live there. So a town of 500 ,000 is a little

01:17:00.390 --> 01:17:03.770
tiny. A little bit. A little bit. In comparison

01:17:03.770 --> 01:17:07.229
to LA, yeah, just a tad. Well yeah, you know,

01:17:07.310 --> 01:17:10.289
a big city. LA is a big city and Hamilton is

01:17:10.289 --> 01:17:16.140
a little tiny town, right? Yeah. But. Yeah, I'm

01:17:16.140 --> 01:17:18.520
gonna have to watch it. But I'm already watching

01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:21.840
so many other shows on the go right now. You

01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:24.140
know me the best part about this is the show

01:17:24.140 --> 01:17:27.760
is it's out there. It's streamable. It's not

01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:29.720
new. No one's gonna ruin it for you. No one's

01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:31.539
really talking about it anymore. So you can get

01:17:31.539 --> 01:17:34.899
to it at your leisure. Because I think it ended

01:17:34.899 --> 01:17:38.869
in 2019. So you don't really have to worry about

01:17:38.869 --> 01:17:40.909
somebody ruining the show for you because everyone

01:17:40.909 --> 01:17:43.550
has been there done that so But when you get

01:17:43.550 --> 01:17:46.510
time, I'm just I'm just old to the game. That's

01:17:46.510 --> 01:17:49.270
all Well, I didn't start the show when it started.

01:17:49.310 --> 01:17:52.829
The funny story is I was driving for uber. Oh

01:17:52.829 --> 01:17:58.630
my gosh, this is probably 29 mm 1617 I was driving

01:17:58.630 --> 01:18:03.029
for uber and I drove someone and we were talking

01:18:03.029 --> 01:18:05.909
and they were like, hey there's this tv show

01:18:05.909 --> 01:18:08.189
that you need to watch and you know they're just

01:18:08.189 --> 01:18:11.170
making conversation but he was really persistent

01:18:11.170 --> 01:18:12.770
about it he was like there's a tv show you need

01:18:12.770 --> 01:18:14.130
to watch he was like give me a piece of paper

01:18:14.130 --> 01:18:15.970
i'm gonna write it down i'm gonna write down

01:18:15.970 --> 01:18:18.369
where you can watch it and he like wrote it down

01:18:18.369 --> 01:18:21.449
and you know people i used to people would always

01:18:21.449 --> 01:18:23.149
tell me things when i was driving my uber like

01:18:23.149 --> 01:18:24.789
go you should do this you should do this i didn't

01:18:24.789 --> 01:18:27.949
i didn't necessarily remember or or do it for

01:18:27.949 --> 01:18:30.250
some reason it stuck with me and when i got in

01:18:30.250 --> 01:18:33.010
the house I brought the piece of paper in the

01:18:33.010 --> 01:18:34.829
house with me that he gave me that's had the

01:18:34.829 --> 01:18:37.010
name Schitt's Creek on it and what channel it

01:18:37.010 --> 01:18:39.289
came on and everything and for some reason I

01:18:39.289 --> 01:18:43.550
watched it and I was like intrigued like I watched

01:18:43.550 --> 01:18:45.770
the first couple of episodes like one back -to

01:18:45.770 --> 01:18:48.069
-back I was super intrigued and I was like wow

01:18:48.069 --> 01:18:51.350
I never thought that a stranger could tell me

01:18:51.350 --> 01:18:54.029
to do something that I would enjoy so I was really

01:18:54.029 --> 01:18:58.279
pleasantly surprised. Yeah, maybe I'll wait after

01:18:58.279 --> 01:19:01.720
I'm done with Love Island All -Stars and Love

01:19:01.720 --> 01:19:05.359
Island Beyond the Villa and then I'll jump into

01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:09.039
that because that's gonna consume a lot of my

01:19:09.039 --> 01:19:11.939
time and plus all the 90 -day fiance bullshit

01:19:11.939 --> 01:19:15.560
shows so that it's very time -consuming. Sometimes

01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:19.079
it has to play catch -up on everything. Yeah,

01:19:19.159 --> 01:19:21.960
it's time -consuming but when you love a show,

01:19:22.659 --> 01:19:27.189
it just flows. It just flows. Yeah. So I gotta

01:19:27.189 --> 01:19:29.250
watch Love After Lockup. I haven't watched the

01:19:29.250 --> 01:19:30.829
new season, so that's what I'm gonna be doing

01:19:30.829 --> 01:19:34.310
soon. But that's it. That's all of our topics.

01:19:34.369 --> 01:19:35.949
So we covered everything that's going on now.

01:19:36.010 --> 01:19:38.510
And unfortunately, a lot of it was very dark.

01:19:38.930 --> 01:19:40.670
There's some dark things going on in the world

01:19:40.670 --> 01:19:43.229
right now. We're losing people and there's a

01:19:43.229 --> 01:19:45.569
lot of scary things going on in the world. Unfortunately,

01:19:45.670 --> 01:19:47.850
that's the world we live in now. So we gotta

01:19:47.850 --> 01:19:50.289
make sure that we're checking in on people and

01:19:50.289 --> 01:19:53.010
being positive and helping people and being supportive

01:19:53.010 --> 01:19:56.250
because... it matters now that we're looking

01:19:56.250 --> 01:20:00.529
being and staying positive should be everyone's

01:20:00.529 --> 01:20:04.270
new year's resolution basically it matters that

01:20:04.270 --> 01:20:06.670
we're we're positive and looking out for each

01:20:06.670 --> 01:20:10.130
other now more than ever it's if you it's hard

01:20:10.130 --> 01:20:12.170
to find something positive going on in the world

01:20:12.170 --> 01:20:14.590
so we have to be that positive thing for everyone

01:20:14.590 --> 01:20:19.890
exactly all right guys Thank you to Gina for

01:20:19.890 --> 01:20:22.029
joining us for this episode of the pop culture

01:20:22.029 --> 01:20:26.810
podcast. Thank you for listening. And we'll be

01:20:26.810 --> 01:20:28.789
back with another episode. Hopefully the topics

01:20:28.789 --> 01:20:32.949
will be a little less dark. Like some great news

01:20:32.949 --> 01:20:35.729
or oh, we'll be talking about the Super Bowl,

01:20:35.729 --> 01:20:38.930
obviously, after that comes on and we see the

01:20:38.930 --> 01:20:41.449
halftime show and Gina can discuss that with

01:20:41.449 --> 01:20:44.270
us because she's a bad bunny. fan so she can

01:20:44.270 --> 01:20:47.050
discuss that but hopefully that's the only thing

01:20:47.050 --> 01:20:51.449
that i watched like i i understand football and

01:20:51.449 --> 01:20:54.810
the whole concept but well i like it's like torture

01:20:54.810 --> 01:20:58.210
for me to watch football i've tried many times

01:20:58.210 --> 01:21:00.970
to watch it and i end up like falling asleep

01:21:00.970 --> 01:21:05.090
so i get football i understand football the concept

01:21:05.090 --> 01:21:08.689
of football but the prison mom turning into football

01:21:08.689 --> 01:21:12.600
is the only time i'll watch it once a year is

01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:15.680
for the halftime show and the commercials but

01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:18.979
it's funny i don't know if you know this the

01:21:18.979 --> 01:21:23.039
canadian like broadcasters here do not show the

01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:27.699
american commercials oh i didn't know that so

01:21:27.699 --> 01:21:30.079
do you have all own commercials or like how does

01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:33.899
that work if we have our own commercials Oh,

01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:35.560
I didn't know that. I mean, I guess that makes

01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:37.680
sense, because if it's an American only brand,

01:21:37.979 --> 01:21:40.140
there's no reason to show it to the Canadian

01:21:40.140 --> 01:21:42.479
community. Well, Pepsi is not an American only

01:21:42.479 --> 01:21:45.699
brand. It's an international brand. Right. Same

01:21:45.699 --> 01:21:48.779
with Coca -Cola. There are some brands that are

01:21:48.779 --> 01:21:51.079
American only that have commercials. So maybe

01:21:51.079 --> 01:21:54.640
that's why they separate it. Like, I don't know.

01:21:54.779 --> 01:21:56.939
I don't know. I don't know how it works. I don't.

01:21:57.000 --> 01:22:00.039
I'm usually on YouTube the next day finding the

01:22:00.039 --> 01:22:03.600
American commercials. Well, they're epic. They

01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:06.699
usually put them on early. Like, if you're crafty,

01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:08.840
you can find the commercials before the Super

01:22:08.840 --> 01:22:11.579
Bowl. I've done it before. Well, look at the

01:22:11.579 --> 01:22:14.819
Pepsi -Cola one. That's already, like, not playing

01:22:14.819 --> 01:22:18.039
yet, but we've already got... We've already seen

01:22:18.039 --> 01:22:21.859
it. So... All right. This was fun. Thank you

01:22:21.859 --> 01:22:24.060

01:22:24.060 --> 01:22:29.220
