Prices exclude Texas device activation and other fees and charges, other terms and condition supply. Hi, I'm Kirsten. I am Sasha. This is Mess Magnet. We're back, baby. Just the two of us once again.
[00:30.000 --> 00:58.080] Listen, we've made it. We can, in fact, make it on our own. Yep. Listen. Okay, it's gonna be a silly one today. I feel like I have some fun ones to share in quick bites. I'm really excited to get there. But listen, we have a good amount to talk about. But before that, Kirsten and I have been doing math. Listen, Kirsten's good at math, actually. So just me. Go to math. I don't know about that. No, you are.
[01:00.000 --> 01:29.960] But we, I feel, Kirsten, tell me what you think have hit 400. Yes. So here's what we figured out. Yes. The service that we use to count ratings and reviews does, it only counts Apple and only counts Apple Podcasts reviews. And so I did a little look see over on Spotify and there are over a hundred.
[01:30.000 --> 01:59.960] Reviews there. Yeah. That doesn't fit. Shout out to you of the service that we use. Also, we have a perfect five-star rating on Spotify. Yeah. No one has left us anything. Oh no. Why did you say it? Oh, knock on touch wood. Oh my God, please don't do it, y'all. I think we also have a perfect five-star in Canada on Apple. It's one of these Americans that, yeah, I think we can.
[01:59.960 --> 02:08.640] Just got like a lower, I mean, it is what it is. It's fine. Listen, that's part of growing the pond. No, everyone's gonna like us and that's okay.
[02:10.000 --> 02:24.200] And I mean, it's okay, but they bad taste, you know? Yeah. I just love that art because we did get two new ratings. Oh, sorry, reviews, not just ratings. And I have to say,
[02:24.200 --> 02:54.160] one of my favorite ones is on Friday, we got a week ago, my cat's hairball. First of all, hilarious name. What? And it says, okay, here's a five-star review. So at first, I was like, I'm like, afraid, like, what's this gonna say? Because, you know, just sound is like, okay, here's your review. No, they start with, hey, sweeties, strong arming myself into finally reaving a five-star review, even though you've deserved it for many months.
[02:54.400 --> 03:20.960] I've been listening, kicking my thumbs into gear to get you all to 400. Anyway, thanks and never change. Okay. That is so cute. You have me in the first half. I love it. I love it. We actually got three. Yes, new ones. Oh, you're right. But I liked rainbows. Oh, eight, 30 said something cute for the quarrels. Period.
[03:20.960 --> 03:37.240] Herstin and Sasha are so real. I love them. They have successfully bullied me into writing a review. They are messy, but fair, which we can all respect. Love the pod. Keep up the messiness. So thank you. Shout out to you. And we have one more by F2PY. You're right. Where it says, didn't know I loved mess.
[03:38.280 --> 03:39.320] That's the thing.
[03:40.520 --> 03:50.040] This is why I feel like everyone should listen to mess magnets because you don't realize you like mess until you listen to the stories and you start having your own opinions. Yes. Everyone.
[03:50.320 --> 04:00.000] Everyone likes mess. I think it's part of human nature. So I'm so glad that F2PY has joined us. We also have one from my majorly epic who says, were their comfort millennial.
[04:01.080 --> 04:14.680] Thank you. What does that even mean? I love it. I think that's a thing. I wear Gen Z have right. I think didn't say this. Yeah. Shout out. Maybe you're Elmo and where you're supporting.
[04:15.680 --> 04:26.680] Okay. Okay. Oh my God. But F2PY also says I hate going into the office, but listening to mess magnets on my morning commute makes me not want to turn around and drive home, right back home.
[04:26.680 --> 04:36.680] I'm usually not super tuned into celebrity gossip or drama. So I was slow to start listening. Correct. But I really enjoyed it so far listening and learning.
[04:37.680 --> 04:39.680] Put that on my right now.
[04:40.680 --> 04:52.680] Not the LinkedIn. I don't know if LinkedIn needs to know about this for me. Oh my God. Can you imagine? My boss definitely knows about it and said like, sasha, you're always tuned in on the team.
[04:53.680 --> 05:03.680] I I don't think in my current, I know that I'm a podcaster. Unless I've googled me. Yeah, which is like, that's fine. But I like it better that way.
[05:03.680 --> 05:13.680] My old job, people found out and then it was weird and people be like, Oh, do you know, Christmas, a podcaster? Oh, look at her podcast. Oh, what's that?
[05:14.680 --> 05:29.680] Wait, can I share a really funny story? It's like one second long. But anyway, I went to lunch last week and this is like my good friend. Okay. And my sorority sister, like we've known each other for a while. I met Karthik like via her anyway.
[05:30.680 --> 05:44.680] So we were out to lunch and she's just like, Oh, you know, how's like non work stuff going? This is like that friend that's like the bad at, you know, we all have that one friend that's like always like, Oh, girl, how's work going? How are we getting into the next level? Like this is okay. Okay.
[05:45.680 --> 05:55.680] So I knew she's like, how's like non work stuff going? So I was like, yeah, you know, I'm podcasting like it's been fun. I don't like promote my podcast to my friends just because like they just don't need to be listening to me like this. Yeah.
[05:55.680 --> 06:09.680] So anyway, she goes, Oh, yeah. I and she's like talking about herself. I was listening and I ended up looking at you have so many reviews and like you're a big deal.
[06:09.680 --> 06:19.680] I say, uh, don't blame me on this. See, and that's why that's why people in our real lives do not need to know about this because they'll be like, Oh, that's so cool. Oh, that's.
[06:19.680 --> 06:26.680] Oh, that's. Yeah. And it's like, no, I'm, I'm not a big deal at all. I definitely am.
[06:26.680 --> 06:32.680] So that's why I was like, y'all, you, because I'm with you. You better stop.
[06:33.680 --> 06:46.680] Oh, my gosh. So it was just anyway, I just found that to be so funny. And I was like, she's like, you should really, you know, tell people about your pot. I say, uh, you see, you sell that reviews. They don't know me.
[06:47.680 --> 06:59.680] No, they don't know me. I mean, it's, I think it's important to keep different parts of your life. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I feel like messengers know me in a way that like, I just don't want my friends to know that's what I mean.
[06:59.680 --> 07:15.680] Right. There's one thing you can't separate and not telling your friends and family. Right. Why do you think she was on there? Cause I was like, no, read it. And then she thought it was just like a cute little five people, five of my friends are reading the pot.
[07:16.680 --> 07:23.680] And then she's like, what do you mean you have 400? Well, sorry.
[07:23.680 --> 07:31.680] Like I just do can't pollinate into doing this. They just didn't realize. I love that. See, that's the beauty of being Canadian.
[07:31.680 --> 07:40.680] Cause they're like, oh, you have 50 reviews. Like, yeah, it's like, okay, you sure, Kirsten. Anyway, I just thought it was so funny, y'all.
[07:40.680 --> 07:48.680] Because I just feel like the messengers and me are truly the tightest. Yeah, it's something.
[07:48.680 --> 07:54.680] It's something so special. And you and I were literally texting about this the other day about how much we love the messengers.
[07:54.680 --> 08:03.680] No, I'm telling you, cause what I feel that and the messengers, by the way, also shout out to y'all. You went to kick back and left reviews.
[08:03.680 --> 08:11.680] So it's just, I don't know every time I meet y'all in person, it's just the vibes are immaculate.
[08:11.680 --> 08:16.680] I don't know what else to say. So anyway, having to tell my friends about the messengers was the funniest thing.
[08:16.680 --> 08:29.680] Cause I was like, how do we say that like, I am their fan? It's not the other way. It's, it's just, it's special. But I guess we've been talking enough about how special everything is we started.
[08:30.680 --> 08:41.680] And to the mess. Let's do it. So yes. Do you know what we're talking about? Okay, it's Grammys. We gotta talk about it. It's all over your damn timeline.
[08:41.680 --> 08:53.680] And I'm, and I wanted to, I'm gonna block the word Grammy, but I didn't. I, here's the thing. I am this close to blocking the words Taylor. Oh, me. Oh, my God.
[08:54.680 --> 09:05.680] And I like her. And I like her. Yeah, you're an actualist with, you know, I understand. And so I just want people to know that's how, that's how sick of.
[09:05.680 --> 09:16.680] Yes, correct. I have blocked words. And I think you're still getting content. Correct. Cause not people are saying that lady, that blah, blah, blah. And I was like, well, why?
[09:17.680 --> 09:24.680] I thought I blocked this. And I, and we can't block the words that lady, because sometimes it's going to be talking about someone else and we do want that mess.
[09:24.680 --> 09:27.680] Or me. I don't know. Oh, my God.
[09:27.680 --> 09:32.680] Anyway, so yes, let's get into Grammys. Grammys happened this week.
[09:32.680 --> 09:44.680] Lots of fun stuff happened, but there were, I think three highlights for me. I will say, or maybe four, because I didn't put Miley Cyrus in here, but we should talk about.
[09:44.680 --> 09:56.680] Oh, just, I mean, it's not in the notes, but Miley won her first Grammy performed flowers and she looked so good. So good. Okay.
[09:56.680 --> 10:08.680] And she receives her award from Mariah Carey. And I swear to God, everything went to hell in a good way. Like she said, no, this is Mariah Carey, like one MC to another.
[10:08.680 --> 10:14.680] Yeah. Miley Cyrus, you will always be famous to me.
[10:14.680 --> 10:26.680] Literally. And I also, I just, since we haven't talked about this in the podcast, but I, Miley Cyrus is two days older than me. Oh, my God.
[10:26.680 --> 10:34.680] And she has a song called used to be young. And I just think it's so ridiculous that a 31 year old woman is singing about how she used to be.
[10:34.680 --> 10:44.680] The already one is young. Stop it. Oh, my God. Stop it. It's younger than me. So don't do this to me.
[10:44.680 --> 10:53.680] I'll always be a little baby because I'm younger than you. Exactly. Forever.
[10:53.680 --> 11:04.680] Okay, should we get into the more? Yeah. Also, one day we do need to do like a Miley ray or Miley, and then the Cyrus family drama.
[11:04.680 --> 11:17.680] Because there's a lot in the notes, but there's so much even after her Grammy, a bunch of stuff has come out. So one, yeah, her mom just did that interview as well. So it's a lot.
[11:17.680 --> 11:33.680] Oh, that's a fun idea. Yeah. So we should. Next time the celebs aren't slept. Yeah, deep dive. Exactly. I'm just going to put it in on notes. But anyway, the biggest thing is there was an arrest at the damn Grammys.
[11:33.680 --> 11:44.680] I mean, the thing about the Grammys is that it can allow law enforcement to know your location. You would think. Yes.
[11:45.680 --> 12:01.680] So, of course, um, and there was a lot of like misinformation around this. So that's why I think it's even funnier. So rapper killer Mike, one Grammys on Sunday, right? He won three awards.
[12:01.680 --> 12:15.680] And his first in more than in more than two decades. So like big deal, blah, blah, blah. And next thing you know, there's like a bunch of stuff coming up and it says killer Mike taken away in handcuffs at crypto arena.
[12:15.680 --> 12:26.680] Which is like, why is it called crypto? It's always a staple center for me. But anyway, listen, general crypto gave more money than staples.
[12:26.680 --> 12:35.680] But that's the joke because it's not even a thing anymore. They like went under. So, so anyway, they're.
[12:35.680 --> 12:41.680] The killer Mike gets handcuffed and people are like, well, what happened? Like did something happen at the Grammys.
[12:41.680 --> 12:51.680] Blah, blah, blah, police is not like, you know, giving us much info. But of course there's videos because it's the Grammys. Everyone with the camera is there.
[12:51.680 --> 13:06.680] Yes. And basically people are like, okay, what did end up happening? We're pieced together finally. So the only thing, you know, that killer Mike is saying, he didn't really give too many comments.
[13:06.680 --> 13:19.680] But he says at 20 years old, you know, I thought it was cool to be a drug dealer. This is like his backstage. Okay. And at 40, you know, I wanted to live with regrets at 48. I stand here as a man of full of empathy and sympathy for the things I've done.
[13:19.680 --> 13:30.680] And he's talking about all of this. And next thing you know, people are like, he hit someone that did not happen. It is for stuff he's done before.
[13:30.680 --> 13:46.680] Well, I mean, the police aren't just like, if it had been like a 911 call about something that happened at the Grammys, it would have been a lot more dramatic what was happening. Like, I feel that from the footage shown of him.
[13:46.680 --> 14:00.680] Yeah, like it's very clear that it's like, oh, this is past conduct. Exactly. And then it's just, it's so funny because he, you know, keeps just saying like, no, I'm so thankful.
[14:01.680 --> 14:10.680] And then he didn't interview, I believe already now in GQ that was published yesterday. We're recording this on a Friday. So on a Thursday.
[14:10.680 --> 14:24.680] And he basically saying like he used this time as a conversation with higher power. And you know, just saying like, I was just by myself and I was thankful, I took time to thank God blah, blah, blah, like all of this stuff.
[14:25.680 --> 14:35.680] And we're just like, but what happened? Yeah. I mean, at least on his own, by the way, like on his own, this is like, I don't comprehend.
[14:35.680 --> 14:43.680] Yeah. So, and, and basically the article also says it's some sort of misdemeanor. So it's nothing that serious.
[14:43.680 --> 14:49.680] And maybe we'll find out more and maybe we won't. Oh, my God.
[14:50.680 --> 14:57.680] We'll see. But anyway, I just thought that was so funny because some had learned to like three Grammys, one arrest, like stop.
[14:57.680 --> 15:08.680] And I also just want to say I love these photos when people are holding all of their Grammy. Like anytime it's more than one or two.
[15:08.680 --> 15:13.680] I'm like, how are you holding all of them at once? You look so stupid.
[15:14.680 --> 15:28.680] It's just, it's bizarre. All of it together a mess. And some people were saying that, you know, oh, he's been questioned and investigation is going like that's what the police is saying, but we have no idea.
[15:28.680 --> 15:42.680] And his team, of course, keeps saying like he did not, you know, commit the alleged offense like he'll be exonerated, blah, blah, blah. And then he's saying that to people actually in the statement that, you know, there's a lot going on.
[15:42.680 --> 15:48.680] There was some confusion about which door my team and I should enter. We experienced an overzealous security card.
[15:48.680 --> 15:54.680] But my team and I have, you know, the utmost confidence that I'll ultimately cleared of all wrongdoing bubble up.
[15:54.680 --> 16:04.680] It's a mess, y'all. So we're, we're going to keep an eye on it. But I felt like this is so crazy that out of nowhere, you're hearing, oh, this one and one and award.
[16:04.680 --> 16:12.680] This one won an award arrest. Yeah, not what you normally expect from the Grammys. Yep.
[16:12.680 --> 16:24.680] And then this one, I believe, is the funniest story of them all. Speaking of what things you don't normally hear about other Grammys.
[16:25.680 --> 16:34.680] Yes. So we're, of course, talking about Jay Z. All right. So Jay Z won the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.
[16:34.680 --> 16:46.680] Great award. He takes blue Ivy, his daughter up on stage with him. You're just like, Oh, this is very cute. And my favorite is she's like, not not she Jay Z goes.
[16:46.680 --> 16:54.680] Oh, this is like a sippy cup. Oh, wait. Blue doesn't need one when she's a girl. She's grown. Second, she got her own Grammy.
[16:54.680 --> 17:03.680] You don't have to flex on us like that, please. And how is blue so grown? I feel she was born just yesterday.
[17:03.680 --> 17:14.680] Yeah, it's I don't enjoy it because the end of the fact that there's two more at like after. I just not for me. I must say.
[17:14.680 --> 17:32.680] So, of course, they're just like talking and, you know, Jay Z talks a lot about, Hey, Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff, you know, boy caught at the Grammys and they refuse to enter the ceremony despite, you know, being nominated for best draft performance.
[17:32.680 --> 17:49.680] That's how he starts the speech field. So that should tell you everything you need to know about the smoke he was on. Because, of course, they boy caught at it because, you know, they realized their category wouldn't be televised, which is still a big issue, not for necessarily just
[17:49.680 --> 18:02.680] in general, what gets televised, what doesn't. Yeah. And then Jay Z then starts laughing at them because he goes, but then I realized they went to a hotel to watch the Grammys. I don't understand. Not a great boycott.
[18:02.680 --> 18:17.680] Then he had DMX was also snubbed. And he said he did the same thing too. When he felt the DMX was snub sorry that he ends up boycotting, but then ended up watching it later.
[18:17.680 --> 18:28.680] Whatever keeps going on and on about it. Then he starts and this is where it gets crazy. Y'all. I'm just saying, we want you all to get it right.
[18:28.680 --> 18:38.680] We love y'all. We love y'all. We want you to get it right or get it close to right. So people are like, okay, I think we know where it's going. Beyonce is looking amazing.
[18:38.680 --> 18:48.680] You know, in her little renaissance, right, like Texas cowboy chic outfit. And she's just staring him down. You could tell she said, I'm a beat his ass when we get home because these are ready.
[18:48.680 --> 18:58.680] I just feel like this is just such a trend of people invoking Beyonce's name when she has made such a point to just stay.
[18:59.680 --> 19:10.680] So you know where this is going, right? And he could have stopped here and we would have known what he meant. But of course, he did not y'all.
[19:10.680 --> 19:20.680] And he later acknowledged that the music and the awards, right, he's like, I know they're subjective, their opinion based, blah, blah, blah. But then goes this young lady.
[19:21.680 --> 19:34.680] Beyonce, I bet you was like the lasers that she was giving him. But she goes, this young lady has been overlooked in the album of the year category because I don't want to embarrass her.
[19:34.680 --> 19:42.680] But how are you going to have 32 Grammys or the most Grammys and never one album of the year? It doesn't work like that.
[19:43.680 --> 19:58.680] Well, and this, that's where like there's so much more at play and like a much more nuanced conversation to be had. But I remember last year, we saw some of the notes from some of the Grammy voters and one of them was specifically like, well, Beyonce wins everything.
[19:58.680 --> 20:09.680] So she doesn't need to win this too. And then this year, one of the voters talking about giving the album of the year to midnight by Taylor Swift says, well, you know, she's everywhere.
[20:10.680 --> 20:22.680] Yep, the moment. So I had to reward that. So it's like, okay, well, what's not clicking for you, Grammys voters. Why do you have different criteria depending on who you're evaluating? That's not okay.
[20:22.680 --> 20:34.680] And I can't, right? I'm too tired to have this conversation because like it's just some folks have to be exemplary. And like, and even then, oh, you're too exemplary. It doesn't work versus like Taylor Swift.
[20:34.680 --> 20:46.680] Again, this is not a conversation about who deserves what? Like, no, like she, she won, period. That's all that matters. But I bet you bet winning over Beyonce. Well, I'll never forget that.
[20:46.680 --> 21:02.680] Never. I mean, and like Harry Styles last year, like, okay. But like, again, again, like we don't need to get into the whole all of it, but just wanted to point it out because that's what we do here on mess magnets.
[21:02.680 --> 21:12.680] Yeah. And I just love that he goes, some of you are going to go home and I feel like you've been robbed. Some of you may get robbed. Some of you don't belong in the category.
[21:12.680 --> 21:29.680] And to me, um, I feel he was talking about Olivia Rodriguez. Oh my gosh, that's so funny. I think it's just like, I don't like Olivia Rodriguez.
[21:29.680 --> 21:41.680] I just, I don't think that album as a whole holds up that well, like to be rewarded on an album level. But I mean, I know other people will disagree with that.
[21:41.680 --> 21:55.680] And that's why all of this shit is subjective. And it makes me like, unless we're talking about actual issues and problems and structural reasons why the rewards are not right.
[21:56.680 --> 22:24.680] That's why I get mad when people are just so mad. Oh, well, Lana didn't win. Like, okay, I'm, I'm like, you're not wrong. It's subjective. Like, unless we're talking about actual problems, I don't really want to hear complaints. Like, I just don't care whether you like the artist or album who won or whether you don't, who cares. These are literally fake awards made up by a dude. It doesn't matter that much.
[22:24.680 --> 22:32.680] Literally. And then when everyone starts laughing and clapping at random thing, Jay-Z was like, you don't have to clap at everything. Why do you do that?
[22:32.680 --> 22:40.680] And then Miley, right? Being like, don't act like you don't know this song. Oh my God. What was going on with the audience? The audience is getting lashing.
[22:40.680 --> 22:48.680] Yeah, the audience was not, was not getting so funny. And then Jay-Z with the line of the century that I can't wait to use on podcast.
[22:49.680 --> 22:59.680] Because he's like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that. Cause like, after he said some of you don't belong, it's like an audible gas, right in the whole room. He goes, when I get nervous, I tell the truth.
[22:59.680 --> 23:08.680] So good. Oh my God. So good. And you could tell blue was like, Lord, I'm happy.
[23:08.680 --> 23:15.680] Like, why am I here? Why am I up here? He's like, I want my own Grammy. I don't.
[23:15.680 --> 23:20.680] I don't need to be here for this. This does not involve me. I want my Grammy. I'm good.
[23:20.680 --> 23:25.680] But anyway, y'all should like, listen to the whole speech. It's so funny and so shady.
[23:25.680 --> 23:33.680] So anyway, I just, I needed to like bring that up. And now, of course, the girl that's been the woman, sorry, that's been everywhere.
[23:33.680 --> 23:44.680] Taylor Swift, she's here. She wore honestly a stunning scaparelli gown, but the styling was a nightmare to me personally.
[23:44.680 --> 23:55.680] She won two Grammys. Yeah. So she's now officially won 14 Grammys. She did not expect, I don't, I don't think she expected to win either.
[23:55.680 --> 24:01.680] But she definitely didn't expect to win Album of the Year. Like she was so surprised.
[24:01.680 --> 24:08.680] And then Matthew Knowles coming in about the Album of the Year, by the way. Oh, my God. That's Beyonce's dad.
[24:08.680 --> 24:27.680] I'm basically blaming Columbia for not like peddling. And honestly, that that's a conversation I'd like to have about like record, like all the back dealings that happen with these awards and like wise and beyond like getting the backing that she deserves.
[24:27.680 --> 24:33.680] That is much more interesting than anyone else just feeling like I don't like it.
[24:33.680 --> 24:43.680] And so when she accepted her first award, she announced she has a new album coming out April 19th at the Grammys, she announced this.
[24:43.680 --> 24:54.680] And so the album is called the Tortured Poets Department, which I think is a weird name for an album. Why is it a department? Like, are we at the corporate poet?
[24:54.680 --> 25:00.680] Like, LLC, I don't get it. But okay, I'm excited. I'll listen to it, obviously.
[25:00.680 --> 25:08.680] And then when she won Album of the Year, it was presented to her by Celine Dion.
[25:08.680 --> 25:20.680] And she didn't like give Celine Dion the attention that everyone feels she should have given Celine Dion when accepting an award. I'm just like, Celine Dion is like not a well woman.
[25:20.680 --> 25:31.680] Yeah, she's still like crushing her. Like, I don't know what you wanted her to do. And then literally there's footage of when Taylor's walking off stage, she turns to like Celine.
[25:31.680 --> 25:44.680] And she like literally you can tell that she's saying like, I'm sorry or something. And Celine is like, it's okay. Like, thank you. Like, I find it very, I find all of this to be funny.
[25:45.680 --> 25:52.680] Yes, exactly. I'm the person like sitting in the back like laughing and eating my popcorn.
[25:52.680 --> 26:07.680] Because I feel right now, like again, I like Taylor Swift. It's embarrassing. It's fine. But there's like the people, there's three groups. There's the people that are now just mad at everything.
[26:08.680 --> 26:28.680] And they're just posting every single receipt from the last like 12 years of what they don't like about Taylor Swift, which again is fine. You don't have to like her. She has done problematic things. It's that, you know, she's just, she's literally just a woman. She is not to be put on a pedestal, in my opinion.
[26:29.680 --> 26:44.680] Yeah, I agree with that. And I also think that, so listen, I think that if I saw Celine Dion, and I would be like, Oh my God, it's Celine Dion. But I also wouldn't know how to like interact with her because knowing she has differences.
[26:44.680 --> 26:51.680] I don't know how I would react either. But then like they have a photo backstage where they're like, arms are around each other. I don't think Celine is mad.
[26:52.680 --> 27:02.680] I think she's fine. So I don't know why we're mad. And then the other group is the Swifties that are like, how dare people be mad about anything.
[27:02.680 --> 27:10.680] Taylor Swift is like a goddess. She could never do something wrong. And then they're like doing too much as well.
[27:10.680 --> 27:16.680] And then one is that the rest of us are just sitting back. Like I feel like I'm in the same group as you, Sasha.
[27:17.680 --> 27:31.680] What's going on here? Like what are we doing? And so like with all this hatred and everything that's come out. So like people are just posting anything. Yep.
[27:31.680 --> 27:44.680] Including it's like, Oh wow, like when she was 22, she dated an 18 year old. And it's like, I think that was like pretty clearly a PR relationship. But also when she was 18, 19, she was dating people in their 30s.
[27:44.680 --> 27:55.680] Like maybe think about how that's impacted her. Like I don't know what to tell you. Like who cares. It's not like they were children.
[27:55.680 --> 28:05.680] And then people have now started talking about the carbon emissions again with the private jets. And they've started, they posted a new list.
[28:05.680 --> 28:11.680] It's from a different organization that is posting like who the top polluters are based on their private jets.
[28:11.680 --> 28:21.680] And people are like, see Taylor's like come down the list by like 50 spots, blah, blah, blah, blah. But here's where we have to spill some actual facts.
[28:21.680 --> 28:31.680] Yes. The new list and the list we talked about last year are both 2022 data. It's the same data set that people are talking about.
[28:31.680 --> 28:47.680] But the original list was using the full tracked, like information by the FAA, which is the, it's why flight patterns are like public information, right?
[28:47.680 --> 28:59.680] Now, if you have a private jet, you can keep your flight secret. And the main way that people use is the the NBA sends a block list to private flight tracking sites.
[28:59.680 --> 29:10.680] And they are bound by an agreement with the FAA to hide those planes, right? So a lot of these celebrities actually try to hide their private jets using this, including Taylor Swift.
[29:10.680 --> 29:23.680] And so this new list, first of all, they specifically only claim that they are including flights that have been confirmed on people's social media.
[29:23.680 --> 29:32.680] So that's why the Kardashians are all the very top five, because they're the ones who post about their flights all the time, and it's easily like verifiable.
[29:32.680 --> 29:39.680] But I think through me for a loop, Kirsten, when I was like, oh my gosh, this is what we're going by.
[29:39.680 --> 29:50.680] It's so stupid. Like, it's just not like, it's not even facts. Like, it's just not there. It's not fully verified data. It's where you're missing a bunch of information.
[29:50.680 --> 30:05.680] And it also is wrong because it included like celebrities who've been dead since 2018 on the 2022 list. So it's like, this is just, it's a fake list, like enough.
[30:05.680 --> 30:22.680] And the reason why this came up again is because Taylor sent a cease and des, well, her team send a cease and des, this letter to the owner of the Taylor's jet account, which uses technology to bypass the block list, and actually tracks all of her flights, which is how you can see her flying from New York
[30:22.680 --> 30:34.680] to Rhode Island back to New York to Nashville to her show back to New York to her show back to New York to Kansas City. Oh, like back and forth.
[30:34.680 --> 30:50.680] And oh, and then all the Swifties are like, she bought double the carbon credits. She needs to buy to cover the flights. And I'm like, are we really going to talk about the dumbest invention in trying to get corrections down?
[30:50.680 --> 30:58.680] Like, is she planting the trees herself? If she's planting the trees herself, maybe we can talk, but like enough.
[30:58.680 --> 31:10.680] And it's just infuriating. And so if these are just not helping the situation with any of the things like people are also supposed to, oh, wow, Taylor was dancing and singing along to fast car.
[31:10.680 --> 31:26.680] Why is she trying to steal attention from Tracy Chapman? Like, are you telling me that if you were at an award show and Tracy Chapman came out to sing fast car, you would not be standing up.
[31:26.680 --> 31:37.680] You'd be seated and stop lying. I don't understand. That's what I'm saying. Well, I had to block it like her name because I'm just like everyone is pissing me off.
[31:37.680 --> 31:48.680] And secondly, I don't care who has highest carbon emissions. Not because they don't care about the environment. It's more that billionaires, right?
[31:49.680 --> 32:02.680] I live in the Bay Area. These tech people and their plain usage out of control. So the point is, if you're all rich people are doing stuff like this, and it's horrid.
[32:02.680 --> 32:12.680] And we should just be holding everyone accountable. It's not, you know, the lashings don't need to be for any one person, but the joke is that they're all doing it. None of them are special.
[32:12.680 --> 32:22.680] This is a class issue. And how many times are we going to be on this podcast talking about classes, classism and that being the biggest problem? It's going to be a lot.
[32:22.680 --> 32:38.680] Yeah, because we can't stop. The only other thing about like, I know this is less about the Grammys and more just about the Taylor Swift hatred at this point, but I laughed really hard and then was like, this is messed up because the night of the Grammys Calvin Harris had a house fire.
[32:38.680 --> 32:44.680] People know people might know that Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift dated, I think, 2015, 2016.
[32:44.680 --> 32:57.680] And someone posted the headline of his house fire with the lyrics from Karma featuring Ice Spice because one of Ice Spice's lyrics is Karma is a fire in your house.
[32:57.680 --> 33:00.680] And I'm like, enough.
[33:00.680 --> 33:04.680] Be normal. Go outside and touch the grass. I've had enough.
[33:04.680 --> 33:09.680] Find your own man and your own ex to like, you know, hate on.
[33:09.680 --> 33:14.680] I'm sorry. I got so it's fired up there. I'm sorry.
[33:14.680 --> 33:18.680] How dare you apologize for your feelings. Stop it right now.
[33:18.680 --> 33:23.680] No, I just think the issue is, because again, I don't think Taylor Swift.
[33:23.680 --> 33:29.680] Taylor Swift benefits, I will say, right from just like the infantilization of white women.
[33:30.680 --> 33:32.680] And she actively plays into it.
[33:32.680 --> 33:39.680] Yeah. So it's just, I think that's my frustration with the Swifties.
[33:39.680 --> 33:50.680] That's why I'm like, I can't be mad at Taylor. Like, if something's making you money and, you know, making you so famous and so popular, you're going to do it.
[33:50.680 --> 33:56.680] And you should do it. You're stupid if you don't, but I wish that we would understand that.
[33:56.680 --> 34:00.680] It's not like hate towards our issues. This happens a lot.
[34:00.680 --> 34:05.680] It's, you know, a part of like living in privileged society.
[34:05.680 --> 34:09.680] So that's what I'm just like, stop the madness. Y'all.
[34:09.680 --> 34:13.680] Yeah. Everyone's making me mad. I'm like, can we be mad about the right things?
[34:13.680 --> 34:16.680] Correct. I just, yeah.
[34:16.680 --> 34:17.680] We can't.
[34:18.680 --> 34:22.680] She stands up. Oh, but if she didn't stand up, they'd be like, wow, Taylor Swift.
[34:22.680 --> 34:27.680] Because that's what she does at every award show that she's gone to since like the first one.
[34:27.680 --> 34:36.680] Any time there's a, like any, any time there's a performance, she stands up.
[34:36.680 --> 34:39.680] So she stopped. Then people be mad. Yeah.
[34:39.680 --> 34:44.680] Oh, she sang along to vampire. That means she and Olivia Rodrigo are friends again.
[34:45.680 --> 34:50.680] Does it doesn't mean that doesn't mean that like enough? I've had enough.
[34:50.680 --> 34:55.680] There's a loss there. I've truly lost my mind.
[34:55.680 --> 34:59.680] I did like, because I think yes.
[34:59.680 --> 35:03.680] I think it's a little tacky to announce your new album at the Grammy.
[35:03.680 --> 35:06.680] Oh, like this is not your night. I don't care that you want to Grammy.
[35:06.680 --> 35:13.680] It's like it is in Tokyo, which she said was her backup plan if she hadn't won anything.
[35:14.680 --> 35:16.680] I announced it night one in Tokyo.
[35:16.680 --> 35:19.680] She said that on stage when she was performing.
[35:19.680 --> 35:28.680] But everyone's reaction to her announcing it because you could tell like they're like trying very hard not to have a face crack and to just clap.
[35:28.680 --> 35:31.680] But you can tell like, like Miley Cyrus.
[35:31.680 --> 35:35.680] Olivia Rodrigo, like a bunch of people. They just had it was so fun.
[35:35.680 --> 35:39.680] Olivia Rodrigo clapping was so funny. Yeah.
[35:39.680 --> 35:42.680] She was like it to me. It was giving Nancy Pelosi clap.
[35:42.680 --> 35:47.680] Yes. Very much, especially with the way like her hands look so long.
[35:47.680 --> 35:55.680] Yeah. Yeah. You're you're so right. Anyways, okay. That's all I have. Is there anything else about the girl we need to know about?
[35:55.680 --> 36:00.680] You still thinking job change in the new year? Yeah, I need something that's in high demand and more stable in this economy.

[37:11.680 --> 37:15.680] Don't look at it. So I'm excited to find out what it is. Yes.
[37:15.680 --> 37:23.680] So Tyreke Hill has been subject to a lot of drama recently.
[37:23.680 --> 37:28.680] And Tyreke Hill is a football player on the Miami Dolphins. Cool.
[37:28.680 --> 37:32.680] So Tyreke Hill just got married.
[37:32.680 --> 37:36.680] Cool. Cool. Okay. Good for congratulations. So happy.
[37:37.680 --> 37:45.680] Oh, interesting. You say that. Oh, no, according to court records in Florida.
[37:45.680 --> 37:56.680] It shows that wide receiver Tyreke Hill has filed a divorce petition.
[37:56.680 --> 38:02.680] Oh, mind you, they just got me. I'm sorry. When did they get married? I forgot.
[38:03.680 --> 38:04.680] Okay.
[38:04.680 --> 38:05.680] Okay.
[38:05.680 --> 38:06.680] Okay.
[38:06.680 --> 38:07.680] Okay.
[38:07.680 --> 38:08.680] All right.
[38:08.680 --> 38:09.680] Okay.
[38:09.680 --> 38:10.680] Okay.
[38:10.680 --> 38:11.680] Hold on.
[38:11.680 --> 38:13.680] Cause it's so bizarre.
[38:13.680 --> 38:16.680] Also shout out to Karthik who was like, you have to talk about this.
[38:16.680 --> 38:18.680] And I was like, I forgot. Thank you.
[38:18.680 --> 38:19.680] Shout out to.
[38:19.680 --> 38:20.680] Okay.
[38:20.680 --> 38:22.680] Not my computer just.
[38:22.680 --> 38:23.680] Yes.
[38:23.680 --> 38:24.680] Okay.
[38:24.680 --> 38:28.680] They were married in Texas on November 8th during a bi-week.
[38:28.680 --> 38:29.680] Okay.
[38:30.680 --> 38:35.680] So, and then I just went, I think he was still on the can- it's still on Kansas City.
[38:35.680 --> 38:38.680] So anyway, long story short, he gets married.
[38:38.680 --> 38:39.680] Everyone's like, oh my God. That's so cute.
[38:39.680 --> 38:41.680] He scores a touchdown.
[38:41.680 --> 38:43.680] He like goes into the stands and gives her the ball. Okay.
[38:43.680 --> 38:48.680] Like we, so we've seen them like, you know, be like
[38:48.680 --> 38:50.680] publicly married.
[38:50.680 --> 38:52.680] Cool. Okay.
[38:52.680 --> 38:58.840] Nothing, you know, you're like, oh my God, he just like in January, why are they getting a divorce?
[38:58.840 --> 39:09.720] What happened? Who cheated? You know, blah, blah, blah. Okay, everyone turns out his someone
[39:09.720 --> 39:19.960] on his team mistakenly filed divorce papers. I'm sorry. What? What?
[39:19.960 --> 39:31.560] I don't understand. Can we just rewind a little bit and can you make that make sense?
[39:32.600 --> 39:42.760] So basically, it seems as some of someone on his team mistakenly was supposed to file something
[39:42.760 --> 39:50.440] else like not like for his, you know, work. Why are you doing divorce papers lying around
[39:50.440 --> 39:58.760] that could be mistakenly filed? That's what I'm saying. I feel, you know, generally speaking,
[39:58.760 --> 40:04.280] I know I'm not married. So maybe you as a married woman can tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't think
[40:04.280 --> 40:10.280] married people just like have their divorce settlement ready to file and the like the minute it's done,
[40:10.680 --> 40:19.240] let me go. Like, I don't know. I just don't think that's normal. It is not. It just seems like
[40:19.240 --> 40:28.280] someone filed it allegedly. And he's like, I fired that bonehead that like did this blah, blah, blah.
[40:28.280 --> 40:36.600] And I just want to know how what happened and then they won't tell us. But what happened, right,
[40:36.600 --> 40:47.320] that like this person on your team needed to say like, Hey, you got in a fight. And is that why?
[40:48.120 --> 40:51.000] You know, you were like, I want a divorce. And this person on your team was like,
[40:51.000 --> 40:57.240] great, I'll start the filing. No, he was meant to file something else and you just grab the
[40:57.240 --> 41:06.040] wrong stack of completed legal documents. That's what it just it is so crazy. And the thing is,
[41:06.040 --> 41:12.840] there was currently his target kills mansion was on fire and caused a lot of
[41:14.600 --> 41:20.440] another house fire. Yes. And it caused like was caused by like, I think a young kid playing
[41:20.440 --> 41:26.200] with a matches or light is but like they've just been so much going on. And then he ends up having
[41:26.200 --> 41:35.320] to post on Twitter. His denial. Huh? Yeah, that he's like, what are y'all talking about basically?
[41:36.440 --> 41:43.320] Okay, so the centennial centennial dolphins is a Twitter account, both in Miami dolphins files
[41:43.320 --> 41:51.880] a petition for divorce in Broward County. The picture being Tariq giving his now wife, you know,
[41:51.880 --> 41:58.440] the ball after he does it. So anyway, Tariq will retweet it or quote tweets it saying,
[41:58.440 --> 42:03.880] boy, know the heck we didn't. So stop. Don't put that in the air. We're happily married and
[42:03.960 --> 42:10.680] going to stay that way. So someone says it's public record and puts a screenshot.
[42:10.680 --> 42:16.280] We're married and going to stay that way. Okay, well then, where did you get the divorce papers from?
[42:16.280 --> 42:21.240] Where did they come from? What I'm like, is it a prank? I just want to pull a prank on him and
[42:21.240 --> 42:25.880] like complete divorce papers and forged signatures. I don't, I don't understand.
[42:26.840 --> 42:30.600] That's what I'm saying. And it's been on my mind for so long.
[42:33.320 --> 42:41.720] Yeah, yep, because none of this makes sense. Like, I don't understand how this person on
[42:41.720 --> 42:48.120] his team did that. You know what I'm saying? Wasn't there a signature required? So he had it ready
[42:48.120 --> 42:58.520] and signed and good to go. Like, what? Right? And then like firing that person fine. But
[42:59.320 --> 43:05.400] how did we get here? And what were they actually filing, right? Because it seems like, you know,
[43:05.400 --> 43:10.360] it could have been like probably some trademark shit for like, I don't know. No, like, I mean,
[43:10.360 --> 43:15.560] I don't know how things work in America. But like in in Canada, I'm pretty sure that there's like
[43:16.520 --> 43:20.920] different places for filing different things. I don't know. But I don't know. Maybe they're not.
[43:20.920 --> 43:23.560] I don't know. No, I just feel like that person
[43:25.320 --> 43:31.160] like said, I'm like, who is the that's what it seems like, they're saying. Sorry.
[43:31.160 --> 43:35.240] I think he set his own self up by having the documents.
[43:36.680 --> 43:41.160] Where did they come from? Yeah. And apparently like talked about it on Twitch and he's like,
[43:41.160 --> 43:44.120] oh, I fired that, you know, person, blah, blah, blah, but like,
[43:46.040 --> 43:52.200] your signature hat. I'm so good. I don't or like, is it one of those things where you have like a
[43:52.200 --> 43:57.480] staff member who has like your e-sig? Yeah. And then you know what? You probably get right on there
[43:58.360 --> 44:03.320] thinking it was what they were supposed to file. But it was in fact, I think that makes sense.
[44:04.280 --> 44:12.840] Oh my God. Right. I had to share this story because what the hell? No.
[44:18.360 --> 44:25.480] Oh my God. I just, I tell you, I just found it so funny because like they got married during
[44:25.480 --> 44:30.520] a bi-week, which is so random. And he, and he even says like, oh yeah, I just said like,
[44:30.520 --> 44:34.040] we've been engaged for so long. Let's get married. And then bam.
[44:35.320 --> 44:42.600] I don't know. Something is not right. Something is not right. Yeah. I don't understand.
[44:43.560 --> 44:47.080] And of course, it's like attorney isn't responding to anything.
[44:51.160 --> 44:59.160] Yeah. So if y'all know why LMK because I, this is going to be my new Roman Empire.
[44:59.160 --> 45:05.080] Right. Because I'm telling you, I just want to know who that person was and what were they supposed
[45:05.080 --> 45:13.560] to file and where the miscommunity, so many questions. I need to know everything. But anyway,
[45:13.560 --> 45:18.920] you sent me this and I could not stop laughing. So I felt like I needed to bring this up.
[45:18.920 --> 45:29.000] It's so bizarre. I feel like we are, we've been seeing a lot of articles for the last like
[45:29.000 --> 45:35.400] month or so where it's like, Oh, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are having problems. Oh, they,
[45:35.400 --> 45:41.240] they won't give up on their love. Oh, blah, blah, blah. And there are who comes out this week,
[45:41.240 --> 45:46.440] says they're working on their marriage. Why is that a article?
[45:48.600 --> 45:54.120] I don't understand. Like, why do you think they put this out? Because someone somewhere at Matt
[45:54.120 --> 46:01.240] Damon must have like put something out to be like a lot of a lot of fans have been theorizing
[46:01.240 --> 46:05.080] that they're not doing well and that they're going to break up. And so I think that they were
[46:05.080 --> 46:10.760] like, oh, we need to put something out to show that we're not breaking up. You know, we are married,
[46:10.760 --> 46:18.200] we're happily married and we're staying that way, you know. And I don't think this was it. That's
[46:18.200 --> 46:24.520] not the headline. Like, oh, yeah, it's so hard. People always talk all the time. Oh, you know,
[46:24.520 --> 46:30.680] marriage is so hard. It's such a struggle. It's such a fight. But we will never stop fighting.
[46:31.720 --> 46:37.320] And then there'll be like Tiger Killen fell for divorce. Hey, sometimes on accident, you know,
[46:37.880 --> 46:45.880] apparently, okay, but not not Ben and Jen. They would never accidentally fall for never.
[46:45.880 --> 46:52.920] They do not have the papers ready. And the thing is, we did talk about that. This came out a
[46:52.920 --> 47:00.760] while ago, but there was like an article saying Matt Damon. Oh, still doesn't look like below. Yeah,
[47:00.760 --> 47:11.880] or hasn't got along with any of Ben Affleck's like partners. I mean, they have a beautiful friendship.
[47:11.880 --> 47:18.680] So maybe every time just be together. I'm telling you, I find it to be so funny. Okay, now kiss.
[47:19.320 --> 47:26.040] Well, yeah, literally. So yeah, anyway, and then this last thing, this last story,
[47:26.040 --> 47:29.720] is truly the best thing to happen this week. And you can't tell me anything.
[47:31.800 --> 47:40.120] I would never try. Yeah, so let's get started. So we all know Usher is performing, we might not
[47:40.120 --> 47:46.680] know, but Usher is performing at the Super Bowl. It's the reason I'm throwing a Super Bowl party.
[47:46.680 --> 47:53.160] It's just so I can be at Usher's concert. You know what I mean? And Usher is coming to California.
[47:53.160 --> 47:58.360] So I probably will actually take its one on sale today. I need to buy them. Anyway, the point is,
[47:59.000 --> 48:05.960] all of a sudden, I'm just, you know, around living my life. And was this yesterday or the day before?
[48:06.920 --> 48:14.600] Time is fake. Don't, don't, don't. Anyway, one or two days ago, all of a sudden, Apple drops this,
[48:14.600 --> 48:20.520] and it says, where's Usher? Something like, wait, what happened? Because I know it's the Apple music
[48:20.520 --> 48:28.920] halftime show. And next thing you know, y'all, it is a seven minute promo video that is literally
[48:29.800 --> 48:34.120] telling us that we should be excited, you know, getting us excited for the halftime show.
[48:34.200 --> 48:40.760] And when I tell you, it is, there's perfection, and then whatever is above perfection. That's what
[48:40.760 --> 48:50.520] this is, exemplary. This advertising campaign for the halftime show is just so good. So good.
[48:50.520 --> 48:55.720] And it starts, right? We have Lil Jon Ludacris, which again, if you know Lil Jon and Ludacris
[48:55.720 --> 49:02.920] were part of the famous, yeah, with Usher and Taraji B. Henson. So they're all, and it's,
[49:02.920 --> 49:11.400] it's a hangover style seven minute, like promo. Okay. So they are FaceTiming Tim Cook, the CEO
[49:11.400 --> 49:17.240] of Apple. And what is Tim Cook in it? Yeah, who, listen, you know, when you run the company,
[49:17.240 --> 49:23.320] I think you get to be in the fun ads. Yeah, not fair. But anyway, Tim Cook has like that 90s,
[49:23.320 --> 49:29.160] 2000s, like a shirt of Usher, which I want, and I can't find it. I'm so sad,
[49:29.160 --> 49:34.120] because I wanted to wear that on Sunday. But anyway, Tim Cook is wearing it. He's FaceTiming
[49:34.120 --> 49:41.480] Ludacris. And Luda's like, we lost Usher. We were at a party last night and we lost Usher. Tim Cook
[49:41.480 --> 49:46.600] said, what? And he said, we lost Usher. Tim Cook ends up hanging up and literally just sends a text,
[49:46.600 --> 49:56.440] you will find him in Sue hijinks. The shenanigans that happen, y'all. Please watch it. Okay. So I
[49:56.520 --> 50:02.440] just want to tell you, okay, they go on this hunt, right? The three three of them. Next thing,
[50:02.440 --> 50:06.920] you know, they're at a Vegas buffet. Of course, I think it was a Caesar's buffet.
[50:08.440 --> 50:15.080] Correctly, right? And then we meet, they're like, Hey, DJ P we, and I was like, that's Anderson
[50:15.080 --> 50:20.360] pop. Like what? Um, then there's like telling him, do you know where Usher is? And he's like,
[50:21.320 --> 50:24.920] in the drop top, like, you know, cruise in the street. Like, what do you mean?
[50:24.920 --> 50:29.240] Cause that was a big meme that just happened, uh, where people will be like, do you, it's
[50:29.240 --> 50:35.560] seven o'clock. Do you know where Usher is? And then he's like, Oh, we lost our Super Bowl
[50:35.560 --> 50:40.840] performance. Enter Blue Man group. And Blue Man group is now doing stuff. And then it's
[50:40.840 --> 50:47.800] a Raji's like, no shut up. Like we just need to go and find him. They go to a bounty hunter named
[50:47.800 --> 50:54.120] Leslie Snipes. Of course it is Wesley Snipes. And he's like, no, I'm his cousin, but he does own the
[50:54.120 --> 50:59.000] building. They keep going. They have a whole thing. Then Chris Angel is part of it. And Chris
[50:59.000 --> 51:03.560] Angel is like, I don't know. I didn't make him disappear. What do you think I'm a magician? Fun fact,
[51:03.560 --> 51:09.400] Chris Angel is a magician. He's Chris Angel line freak. Yeah. And he's like, I think the highest
[51:09.400 --> 51:14.840] grossing magician currently in Vegas right now. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just, and it just
[51:14.840 --> 51:20.440] keeps going. Then eventually we get to the skating ring. J Balvin is there and you're like, what the
[51:20.440 --> 51:30.360] hell? And then, and then Andre 3000 is there, but he's the Zoltar. So he becomes Zoltar 3000.
[51:30.360 --> 51:35.080] And they go to Caesar's Palace. They're going here. They're going there. Right. Like all iconic
[51:35.080 --> 51:44.440] Vegas things. And then the songs Kirsten has been loaded. We get climax, bad girl, nice and slow. Of
[51:44.440 --> 51:50.520] course, of course, like a standing next to you comes up, which listen Usher's album came out
[51:50.520 --> 51:57.000] today, his new one already a pop. I've heard all of it. Amazing. And then next thing you know,
[51:57.000 --> 52:02.600] you see Usher performing in black leather at the Caesar's Palace Fountain, you know, which is a
[52:02.600 --> 52:10.920] big deal. You watch the hangover and he's performing for a bright squad. So fun. It's also just like
[52:11.560 --> 52:19.400] all I could think of when we see him performing is the Kiki Palmer situation.
[52:21.560 --> 52:26.040] And who else Taraji was on stage with him too, which is why I think Taraji was here.
[52:27.160 --> 52:30.680] And then Taraji just looks at him, Kirsten and goes, Daddy's home.
[52:33.480 --> 52:38.600] And so this is where I ask you because obviously it was a meme recently. Yes. 7 o'clock,
[52:38.600 --> 52:45.640] do you know Usher is? Do you think that like tweet was part of the campaign in the first place?
[52:46.280 --> 52:51.480] Oh my God. No. Oh my God. Do you think it's a gorilla social media marketing? No,
[52:51.480 --> 52:59.000] are you like, Oh, where's Usher? And then suddenly it's like, oh, we lost a friend. Oh, don't play
[52:59.000 --> 53:07.000] me. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. That's actually crazy.
[53:07.560 --> 53:14.120] Oh, you blow my mind. And now if you look up, where's Usher on Twitter? It's literally all
[53:14.920 --> 53:20.920] big, Vegas things or like, you know, entities, organizations, whatever you would name it,
[53:21.640 --> 53:25.720] have started tweeting about it. So a blue man group, of course, saying like while you're wondering
[53:25.720 --> 53:30.440] where's Usher will be performing the halftime show. Rock Nation, of course, talks about it.
[53:30.440 --> 53:37.240] NFL has tweeted about it. Caesar's Pavlice. But you name it. People have been tweeting about it.
[53:37.240 --> 53:45.720] And then the funniest thing, the city of Las Vegas puts out, oh, yesterday, a whole like notes app.
[53:47.320 --> 53:52.120] And says a notice from Las Vegas. Usher has been found. Rumors have been swirling
[53:52.120 --> 53:57.080] about Usher in his unknown whereabouts. Many have expressed worry about the Apple music.
[53:57.800 --> 54:03.560] Well, we're the entertainment capital of the world, baby. The show will go on. And we would
[54:03.560 --> 54:08.120] like to remind you, this is not the first time someone has strayed from the pack during an eventful
[54:08.120 --> 54:15.320] night out in Vegas. We want, we know you got it bad right now, but too, daddy's gonna make it.
[54:17.720 --> 54:25.240] So he will be there. When I tell you, I love a good marketing, like strategy.
[54:27.080 --> 54:33.240] Oh, it's so good. So good. Anyway, I just check it out because I think it's the funniest thing.
[54:33.240 --> 54:38.920] And if you love Usher and me songs and like old songs, they just like randomly will come in.
[54:40.280 --> 54:47.160] Oh, so good. Anyway, that was, that was it. That's all our stories for today.
[54:47.160 --> 54:49.320] Sweetie. And I'm so excited for Usher.
[54:49.480 --> 54:58.520] Oh, yes, it should be good. And I feel like the people participating in this advert, like,
[54:59.560 --> 55:07.480] to me increases their chances of performing with him. Oh, my God. At least some of them.
[55:09.240 --> 55:14.360] First of all, if they hit on purple, what do you mean? I know, I was, it's like when you see people
[55:14.360 --> 55:17.640] have been also been posting this week, like, Oh, what's your favorite Usher song and my favorite
[55:17.720 --> 55:22.120] two of them all was this one guy goes, I'm white, you know, what my favorite Usher song.
[55:23.160 --> 55:30.280] And for people that don't know it is. Yeah. No, I hope he does like nice and slow burn.
[55:31.560 --> 55:36.840] I don't believe this one will happen, but I want him to do my boo with Alicia Keys.
[55:38.200 --> 55:41.400] What's yours? Yeah. I'm white, you know.
[55:43.480 --> 55:46.360] Oh my God. I also want confessions, but I don't think that will happen.
[55:46.360 --> 55:49.320] Yeah, I don't think confessions is on the table, unfortunately.
[55:49.320 --> 55:54.120] I know. And then he said that he's looking for Justin Bieber to come perform.
[55:55.000 --> 55:56.680] So what the hell, baby?
[55:58.200 --> 56:02.040] I mean, you never know. Which works as Ludacris is going to be there already.
[56:02.680 --> 56:07.560] Well, and that's yeah, it's going to be really interesting. I was talking to a friend about
[56:07.560 --> 56:13.000] the halftime show recently and they just said, well, Phil John isn't there, he's stupid. I was like,
[56:13.080 --> 56:20.600] okay. My favorite is just that people are a needle to grasp Tyson, like the worst we ever.
[56:20.600 --> 56:25.400] Oh, well, now Taylor has to perform it. We got to ask Usher. And literally that's a hate crime
[56:25.400 --> 56:32.920] against it. It's also like, y'all, first of all, Taylor already declined the Super Bowl before Usher
[56:32.920 --> 56:37.000] was signed to do it. First of all, and second of all, she's in her wives and girlfriends era.
[56:37.000 --> 56:42.520] She's not interested in overshadowing her boyfriend. And third, we want Usher.
[56:42.520 --> 56:48.840] And yeah, like, Neil, shut up. Yeah. So anyway, so now I'm in a fight with Neil the
[56:48.840 --> 56:56.680] craft. Yeah. Do you want an anonymous? Please do it. Okay. So this is a, it's a little short one.
[56:56.680 --> 57:01.560] Yes. So our messenger says that he had been dating this guy that we're going to call David for
[57:01.560 --> 57:06.440] almost a year. Things were going well in the beginning, although there were some red flags,
[57:06.440 --> 57:10.440] even that and like an unwillingness to be open about things, even mundane things.
[57:11.000 --> 57:13.960] But despite this, they continued on. Our messenger really liked him.
[57:14.920 --> 57:20.760] After feeling a little bit of distance from him, David dumped our messenger over text and blocked
[57:20.760 --> 57:28.040] him on everything so that he couldn't even respond. What a loser. After a year, almost a year.
[57:28.040 --> 57:31.960] And so our messenger says like, it's not posted, Kirsten, what's his name?
[57:32.920 --> 57:35.400] Burger. Yes.
[57:37.160 --> 57:43.720] I'm sorry. So was he was Burger wrong for that? Come on. Listen, we don't do post-it breakups.
[57:43.720 --> 57:49.400] That's, well, I mean, to text a breakup after almost a year on them blocking everything wild.
[57:49.400 --> 57:53.160] And so our message is like, it wasn't shocking that we broke up, but it was still super abrupt.
[57:53.160 --> 57:58.360] I never got any closure. And even though I didn't actually cry over him, I was still upset.
[57:58.840 --> 58:04.440] What if you cried? Like, it's fine. Yeah, literally loser behavior.
[58:04.440 --> 58:09.320] David counter days. David probably really starts with, you know, you know the letter.
[58:11.240 --> 58:15.160] Yeah, yeah, he was probably Josh. He's probably a kid. No, never Josh.
[58:18.760 --> 58:23.960] So about seven months later, out of nowhere, David contacts our messenger.
[58:24.920 --> 58:29.000] Apologizing for the way things went down, being emotionally and about being emotionally
[58:29.000 --> 58:35.720] unavailable. And he says, can we be friends again? You have enough friends messenger, stay safe out there.
[58:37.320 --> 58:44.440] I will literally fight David. David, it's all it's curtains for you. And so initially,
[58:44.440 --> 58:49.080] your messenger was like, oh, like maybe thinking you David wanted to get back together with him.
[58:49.160 --> 58:51.880] No, David has a new boyfriend.
[58:54.520 --> 59:00.200] So weird. So our messenger. David went to therapy, Chris, and you think?
[59:00.920 --> 59:05.800] No, David is a fuck boy. Oh, and there's what they do. Yeah, yeah, it just needs back on.
[59:06.680 --> 59:11.240] And so our messenger agrees to be friends, but feels really conflicted about it.
[59:12.280 --> 59:16.360] And so David is usually the first one to contact our messenger when they talk,
[59:17.000 --> 59:22.600] added our messenger to private social media. And our messenger says it's a weird situation,
[59:22.600 --> 59:27.720] but David's really hot. He half wonders if he's slowly going to try and get back with our messenger
[59:27.720 --> 59:34.840] or not. messenger stand up with a messenger. And our messenger says I'm glad he contacted me
[59:34.840 --> 59:38.680] again because it allowed me to get closure on the relationship. But I've also cried about this
[59:38.680 --> 59:42.760] man twice, which I know is ridiculous for someone who jumped you seven months ago. He's putting
[59:42.840 --> 59:50.680] you in a blender. This is where you get the revenge. You send him a text about how everything
[59:50.680 --> 59:55.320] he's done is so fucked up and how coming back into your life seven months later to disrupt it
[59:55.320 --> 01:00:01.320] further is not okay. And then you block his ass on everything. But change his contact name in
[01:00:01] your phone to a headstone because he is in the graveyard he has read to you. And here's the thing,
[01:00:07] if you really want to be toxic, you know what messenger, but you got to stand up before that.
[01:00:13] So maybe don't do this. He's already. Yeah, but I will say if you were really toxic,
[01:00:19] we would we breadcrumb the shit out of David. We make him send us some
[01:00:25] you know, texts that he shouldn't cheating on that other guy and then be like, you're an idiot,
[01:00:31] you know, drag his ass and then block him and then send the text to his
[01:00:35] real and be like, and now I have closure. That's what I would have done. But the point is you got
[01:00:41] to stand up before you do that. So you're not ready yet. Anytime a man you've previously been
[01:00:48] emotionally involved with says, Hey, do you want to be friends? You say, I've got enough friends,
[01:00:56] but you stay safe out there. I have done this. Even if you have no friends, you don't need a friend
[01:01:02] like that. It don't matter. He's not your friend. Exactly. He ain't the one or the two. Please,
[01:01:09] no messenger stand up to make me do this. Yeah. The thing is you shouldn't even tell them how
[01:01:18] he made you feel. I know I'm so toxic for that. But Chris is actually correct, but I just feel
[01:01:24] like you have to be like, you thought you did something here. Yeah, you also could just block
[01:01:29] him on every like you could just go. I don't think you should be like, you thought you did
[01:01:33] something here when the eggplant was never at the eggplant tank the way it should have eggplanted.
[01:01:40] Bye. Right. You got to like, if you're saying that David's attractive, then attractive boys,
[01:01:45] only one thing bothers them. You're not giving them attention because of their looks.
[01:01:51] You got to be like, it will never that good anyway. Yeah, like I'm fine. I'm out here living my best
[01:01:57] life. Be like, thank you to your current boo for taking my headache away.
