A
I know. We're. We're really getting there. The countdown is kind of commenced.
B
I know. It's weird. I don't know how I feel like it's gonna be so weird to not record on a Tuesday anymore.
A
Yeah. What are your Tuesdays even gonna look like now?
B
I don't know.
A
It's gonna just sit and cry and reminisce on all the good times. You got to talk to Junior.
B
Yeah. I'm really gonna miss talking to you every Tuesday.
A
I know. I know. Let's not talk about it. Let's not get you emotional on the podcast.
B
Yeah, I don't want to sound.
A
You're emotional on the podcast way too often.
B
So many times.
A
So many, so many times. We. We don't need you crying again because you're not going to see enough of Junior. I'll still be around. I'll be around. I think I want to come to New York for the last episode, too.
B
Yeah, well, you're supposed to, so you should.
A
Whoa. Like, I. I'm always the guy going to New York, okay?
B
Not true. I'm just in LA last week for your stream.
A
For the podcast.
B
But I came for your stream.
A
No, you went for Lacy's stream and then also came on my stream.
B
No, I came to LA for your stream, and then Lacy asked me to do a stream, and I rescheduled his stream so that I could be there the same time as your stream because I was supposed to do it in the beginning of October.
A
Well, if that's true. Then thank you.
B
It is. You're welcome.
A
All right.
B
And then I asked you and you said, yeah, you know what? I'll come to. I'll come to New York for.
A
Yeah, I think I'm going to figure it out because I think it would be fun to talk about streaming. Streaming to stream it. But no, I think it'd be good to do it in person for the last one anyways.
B
Yeah, me too.
A
Should we do another case race?
B
Honestly? Yeah, we probably should.
A
That's. I. That might be a bad. I mean, we would go out with a bang, I guess.
B
People really did love our case race when we did it. Is that still on the Internet?
A
I hope not.
B
We shouldn't even talk about it. People can't, so they don't look for it.
A
Yeah, I don't want people to find that.
B
No. Caught. No. Jesus Christ. Damn.
A
You threw up on me. I don't even know how I got home that night.
B
You threw up at the gase race.
A
Dude, I walked home. I walked home. It was a long walk. I wasn't even a close hotel to the barstool office. It was like three miles.
B
No, you weren't. I don't even remember. I might have slept in the office.
A
Ah. I just, I, I, I somehow got home. I know I got home because I remember kind of waking up in the elevator being like, oh, I'm here.
B
Wow. I made it. My two feet that did that thing.
A
Yeah, they did their thing. They did the thing that they were meant to do. So it's always good when feet are doing the right thing.
B
Yeah. Good for them. Yeah. So maybe we'll do another case race and we'll send you. We'll send you guys off with the big bang next week.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll. We'll end it the right way.
B
Yeah. As it should. We'll put this. We'll put this shit to rest the right way.
A
I like it.
B

A
It seems like Batman Bunny makes sense to be up there, though.
B
Oh, for sure. Well, if we want to go through kind of what we did with the Oscar nominations, but we have record of the year. We have DTMF, Bad Bunny, ManChild, Sabrina Carpenter, Anxiety, Dochi, Wildflower, Billie Eilish, Abracadabra. Abracadabra. Lady Gaga, Luther, Kendrick Lamar, featuring sza, the Subway Chapel, Roan, Apt Rose, and Bruno Mars. Which one are you taking?
A
It's so hard because I always forget, like, when these awards are talking about because they don't follow the calendar year. You know what I mean? Like, anxiety. Feels like it was three years ago that this song was out.
B
No, that was this year. That's when we went to. That was this year.
A
I know it was, but these award show timings always mess me up.
B
Well, okay, how about we do it what you want, what you would want, not what you think is going to.
A
Win record of the year? I would probably go with either Wildflower or Anxiety, I think. Yeah, I think those are the two I would go with. I think, to me, they made, like, the biggest impact online, or at least from what I saw. So. So I guess I don't know if you're talking record of the year. What was, like, played constantly or like, what was like, an amazing song and also played constant.
B
I don't know.
A
Wildflower.
B
Okay. If I were to go based off of what I was playing, it'd be Luther or Wildflower or dtmf. But that also feels like three years ago.
A
Yeah. I don't know.
B
Okay, what about.
A
But I don't know. So what are people angry about here? Are they feeling like records were left off? What is the. What's the song that was left off this list?
B
It's not more. It's not really record of the year, I don't think. I think people are mad at best new artist and of album of the year. People aren't. Like, Lord wasn't nominated for anything for best new artists. No, just in general.
A
Okay. All right. Yeah.
B
People are Madison. Right? Like, is up there.
A
So are people mad at the best new artists because there's some tick tockers on there? Is that what's going on? There's some people that have come from the social media landscape, like Addison Rae or Alex Warren or. I mean, somber. Debatable, you could say. Like, obviously social media helped his. His blow up, but I don't know. I don't know. I guess it's always. People are always going to get angry, though, when that's when that happens.
B
Yeah. And also, I feel like the Grammys are always a little bit skewed. Like, you have to apply to be nominated. Like, your team has to submit you. If you don't, if you're not, like, doing all of the schmoozing and, like, getting in with the right people, then you aren't nominated for it. Like, it really is up to. Of course, you have to have an extent of, like, popularity, and your music has to be good and well known, but you also have to have the right team that's, like, backing you and getting you in it. So it's not all. All that accurate.
A
No, no. I mean, it's. It's not a. Like a people's award show. You know what I mean?
B
It's.
A
It's not like we're voting here. I mean, it the same as. It's the same as the Oscars. Grammys are very similar. Right. Like, you. You have these times where it's who knows who situation, and that's how people are getting on the list. But we see these best new artists. Olivia Dean, Lola Young, Alex Warren, Cat's Eye, Somber, Leon Thomas, Addison Ray, and the Marias. I don't know if Leon Thomas counts as a new artist for me, though. That guy's been around.
B
I know, I know. But maybe it's because it's like, music is starting to get popular. I remember this, like, with Sabrina Carpenter. She got nominated for best new artist, and people like, she's been around, like, she been doing this.
A
Yeah, but had she been, like, writing music and all that for a while? She had been. Okay, all right, all right. Well, then maybe. Yeah, maybe it's the recognition. Like, he's starting to get the recognition. Who do you pick off this list to win?
B
This one makes me want to kill myself. So I am deeply obsessed with Lola Young, deeply obsessed with Olivia Dean, and I don't, like, gun to my head, shoot me.
A
Okay, but why?
B
Because I can't decide between.
A
Oh, right.
B
If anyone besides Olivia Dean and Lola Young wins this category, I will riot. Because those are. I can see that should win. Well, he shouldn't win.
A
I could.
B
Why?
A
Why. Why do you think that's like a best. Well, I guess it depends. I guess it depends what you like put down as the metrics that classify someone as the best new artist. Is it like the. Are you fully judging it off of quality of. Of song? Are you fully judging it off of, you know, just the metrics and, like, the numbers? Is it a bit of both? Which One do you lean towards? I think kind of could fluctuate your decision maybe.
B
Well, it makes me sick because it should strictly be based off of the quality of an album. Best new artist. You should have a banger of an album. Wish you were here or this wasn't my.
A
It would be someone you probably never heard of then, Bri, if it was just off of the best music, you think that they had the best album that Dr. Corrupt all year long. If you went to some album that you know has a 10,000 plays, I'm sure there's a better album out there.
B
No, I'm saying on this category, like, it has to be based off of the quality of your music, of who's in it. Like, Olivia Dean and Lola Young have music that, like, changes your life and not just one song. And so millions of people think that. And they're so talented and they're so.
A
But Alex Warren has more than one song and. And hundreds of millions of people think that.
B
Yeah, but he has one song.
A
No, but he is more than just ordinary.
B
I know, but ordinary is wise on everything. Let's just call it what it is.
A
Yeah, but he has other songs with hundreds of millions of streams.
B
Yeah, but it's just like, not like, it's not the. Like the impact isn't the same, I don't think, on the music industry.
A
I don't know. I think it's. It's. This is no hate.
B
I don't want people to think I'm hating on him.
A
No, no, no. I get what you're saying. I just think that people, as somebody from the social media world, I think people put such a strong, like, wall up or like, this barrier to, like, people from social media when they enter a different scene, that we, like, discredit them a little bit more for what they do just because they came from social media. But does that mean, like, they were any less talented at the music thing? No, it just means they did social media before they did music. Doesn't mean they're less talented at it. So I don't know. I think I. I think it's tough. I'm not saying Lola Young doesn't deserve it or Olivia D. Doesn't deserve it. I think they're. They're both talented individuals as well. I just. It. I guess it kind of goes into the debate of what. What do you think best new artist is? Is it their impact on, like, the world? Like, how many. Not like number wise, how many people know who they are now? Is it like, is that more of a Rising.
B
I don't know.
A
I guess it just depends what you think.
B
Yeah, I mean, I don't think it. I personally don't think it has anything to do, like when I talk about it, social media or like discrediting anything. I think he's a great artist and he should be on this list, but I just don't think that.
A
You just think. Lola Young. Olivia Dean.
B
I think Olivia Dean sweeps in. What? She's. Yeah, I think she's just like. We haven't seen someone like her in so long. So I don't know. I'm. I'm on, I guess. Gun to my head. Olivia Dean. I hope she wins. Lola Young. So I wish there was runner up.
A
Yeah. Like second place. They do a podium.
B
Yeah. Oh, we've got so many more. Best pop vocal album. Something beautiful. Love. Miley Cyrus to death. This album kind of sucked. Swag. JB Fire. Man's best friend. Sabrina Carpenter. Fire. Mayhem. Lady Gaga. Fire.
A
What do you think wins?
B
Gaga?
A
Yeah, I think so too. All right, guys, taking a break from the podcast to talk to you about Uber Eats. Big news. There's a new membership program just for students.

B
This is your category. Rap. Read them out.
A
Yeah. Best rap album. My category. As you know, the rapper of this podcast duo let God sort them out. Clips and push a T and Malice Glorious Glorilla. God does like ugly Jid. Gnx, Kendrick Lamar and then Chromacopia Tyler, the creator.
B
Who do you think wins?
A
I mean, who do I think wins? Probably Kendrick. Who do I want to win? Anybody but him. So I, I would JD Gorilla I could see or like Tyler would be cool to see. I guess those are the ones that I would. I would go with.
B
I guess I'd never heard of Jid.
A
You, you, you. You would have if, like, if I pulled up. If I pulled up his biggest song, you'd be like, oh, okay. Yeah, probably. But I would say he's. I don't know. I guess I, I, I. Maybe chat. Let me know. I think it's fair to say he's not super mainstream. But it's like he, he is at the same. He's one of those people that. It's like, how do you not know him? But there's a lot of people that might not know him, if that makes sense.
B
Okay, well, that's pretty cool to be nominated for a Grammy of best Rap album, then.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
He does well. He does well.
B
Are you playing a song?
A
No, I wasn't gonna.
B
Oh, okay. I thought that.
A
Did you want me to.
B
No, it's fine. I thought you were holding your phone up and I was like, when's it gonna.
A
No, I'm using this for my sheet.
B
Oh, okay. Okay, cool.
A
But that's all right. That's all right.
B
Oh, my God. Best rap song. If TGIF doesn't win, shoot me.
A
Yeah. Once again. Once again, I think Kendrick's gonna win.
B
This ain't. Nope. Ain't got me that song. Oh, my God. Playing TGIF on a Friday, going out with your girls, popping your ass, eating at tgif. Oh, my God. There's no better feeling than that song. Hearing that song for the first time, it, like, it rushes through your veins. It even gets the boys, like, pumped up.
A
Hey, everyone gets hyped up that song. I mean, but do you think that's winning over TV off.
B
What's that?
A
Kendrick Lamar.
B
I like Kendrick Lamar. I just don't know the names of songs, so give me a bar.
A
Turn the TV off. Turn the TV off.
B
It's 7pm Fry. It's 95 degrees.
A
I like sticky. I just don't. I don't know if it's gonna win. I just, I. I think that Kendrick's gonna do a lot of sweeping just because the Grammys hates Drake. So the Grammys is going to show mad love to Kendrick.
B
Yeah. And Sticky kind of got old. Like, it got. I don't know, it just still doesn't have the same oh that TGIF has. I don't know. I guess we'll see. Josh?
A
Yeah. I'm pretty confident if. If I was a betting man, which I am, I would bet on Kendrick for every award he's nominated for, because Drake has dissed the Grammys many times, and I think the Grammys. Likes. I think the Grammys. It has personal Ego. So I think they're going to give everything to Kendrick because of that.
B
For sure. It's all rigged. I. I'm just going to give out my own Grammys when it's Grammys time. To who I want to win Best Country Song. Biting list. Good news, Shaboozi. Is that still the Shaboozi song that's been. We've been nominating every year now? New one.
A
That one was Bar song, right?
B
Oh, yeah. Someone put me up a double shot of whiskey banger. Honestly. Yeah, I think probably Bite and List will win this.
A
I think it's. That's a safe bet.
B
Yeah.
A
Best music video, Man Child. Sabrina Carpenter. So be it. Clips. Anxiety. Dochi Love. Okay, go, young lion. Sade.
B
Anxiety. Easily.
A
The anxiety video was really cool and the only video, I believe, out of all these videos that I have seen, so. Anxiety ones.
B
Yeah, for sure. I think.
A
Man Child. Which one was that with Sabrina Carpenter?
B
Yeah. You're gonna have to. I don't know. Oh, the song or the video?
A
The music video. Like, was there something wild about it that's given it its nomination?
B
Like, kind of like, what is that woman? I mean, what. Josh, name a woman.
A
Gabriella Mora.
B
It took a little bit too long, to be honest. But what is that movie where, if.
A
I'm gonna be honest, I accidentally thought of Jennifer Aniston.
B
Oh, God. We're probably gonna have to cut that out of the podcast.
A
Probably. You just said think of a woman, and so I. I don't know what happened.
B
Well, I guess, like, woman you think.
A
Of, like, not thinking of, like, an older lady. Like, like, not that she's old. Now I'm in trouble with every. All women. Like, I was thinking of, like, a motherly figure.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Well, we know that you think girls are past their prime after 18.
A
Don't think that about Jennifer Aniston.
B
No, but you think that about every other woman. No. You've said that so many times on this podcast.
A
I've never, ever said that. And I don't know why you make it out to be like I say that.
B
You've said it multiple times.
A
Don't say that. And, like, the thing is, is, like, I could be like, oh, well, you say you hate men, but guess what? No one would give a. No. The Internet wouldn't care. They'd be like, ah, woman hates men. That's all right. But if I hate women, which I don't, but if I did, then it's wrong and it's not all right, and I get in trouble for it. And that's messed up. And that's called double standard. And that's what you guys, as in women, are always complaining to us about. And then you go ahead and double standard us. What's up with that?
B
You should ask women, why do you hate men? What did men do to women to make them feel this way?
A
But I didn't do that. I didn't do that.
B
What is between your legs? You did it. You did it. You've done it. I know you have. I know you. And I know that you There have been multiple times before that you got into a loving, beautiful relationship that a girl hates you because you fucked them over. I could probably. I could probably think of 10.
A
So no girls ever fucked over guys.
B
But you're not saying that. But majority of men have fucked over way more girls than girls have fucked over men.
A
Is there, like a stat you're pulling this from? What, United nations tally? Like, what the fuck? What are you talking about? You.
B
So you don't believe me? I think part of the problem that.
A
I think that men and women hurt each other equally, I would say, but, like, men, emotionally, emotionally, emotionally, I think they. They, they. They hurt each other equally. Where? I mean, physically, yeah, probably men do.
B
More, but news flash, you're wrong. Wrong, buddy. Wrong.
A
You think women beat up men more?
B
I'm just saying, in general, everything you've said for the past 40 seconds, it just wrong.
A
I just don't think that's true. And it's really hard for. For, you know, a conversation to progress in the proper direction when someone just shutting down the opposing side.
B
This is what's wrong with America. It's not a conversation.
A
This is what's wrong with America today in the divide. See, this is why we don't move on as a country, because this happens. We got it. We gotta have conversations and talk, but then one. One side just doesn't want to talk.
B
So if you were American, you would have voted for Donald Trump. You just said.
A
What is happening?
B
Just having a blast.
A
Happens only have two episodes left. Yeah, let's. Let's.
B
Let's.
A
Let's fucking pull the rug from underneath Josh.
B
Yeah. Oh, God, I can't wait. The rug will be pulled next week. All right, well, that's enough of the fucking Grammys. Oh, Kim Kardashian failed the bar test.
A
Ooh. Eesh. Who saw that coming?
B
Her psychic didn't. Did you see that? She said that they have three psychics. She called them all. They said that she was definitely gonna pass the bar. And then she calls her sisters. And she's like, just so you know, all of our psychics, they're pathological fucking liars. We shouldn't be giving them our money. And I didn't pass the bar, and I thought that was the funniest clip of all time.
A
That is hilarious to blame it on your fortune teller, but I mean, yeah, I guess. Hey, she's gonna keep plugging away. She says, no giving up. Job's not finished. I like it. I respect it.
B
Yeah, I mean, she's busy. I don't think how many times she. I don't know if this is her first time or what, but she's not giving up. And there's no shortcuts, so hopefully she passes this bar.
A
She just failed the full bar after.
B
Failing the baby bar three times.
A
Yikes.
B
But you know what she doesn't do? Give up, Josh.
A
No. No, she doesn't.
B
And she plays a lawyer on TV now, so might as well just be a lawyer in a life or.
A
Yeah, I mean, if that's not going method, I don't know what is exactly true.
B
Wow.
A
Do you think she's gonna, like, try to, like, tell the director, like, yo, real lawyers wouldn't say this. Like, do you think she's gonna try to get, like, a rewrite to it?
B
Oh, faux show.
A
That's gonna be awesome to see.
B
Oh, wow. Yeah. She's gonna play a lawyer in every single thing she ever acts in now.
A
It's perfect.
B
It's perfect.
A
Honestly, it's amazing.
B
Love is real and it's back.
A
Yeah, love's always been real in my life.
B
Well, I mean, Kelsey Bellarini and Joe Stokes. Okay, let's just. Let's just go backwards for a second. Kelsey Ballerini and Chase Stokes are back together.

A
There's love in the air for them. There's love in the air. Maybe. Did he edit the the caption on that birthday post? Did he make it better?
B
No way. No shot. I actually checked this morning.
A
He didn't reword it.
B
No rewording by my man Chase.
A
I thought maybe that's what it would have gotten her back.
B
I wonder if they ever fully broke up. Or maybe they were just. Because they never came out and said it.
A
Yeah, maybe they were just, you know, in a little tiff.
B
Yeah, maybe they had a big fight and now they're in Croatia together. I'm vacant.
A
What do you think it was about? What do you think the fight was about?
B
Probably something the man did.
A
Dude, it's not even fun anymore. Like how, where, like where else are we supposed to go?
B
I don't know.
A
What, being a woman's not fun?
B
Not anymore.
A
Positive, dude.
B
No, can't.
A
Like yalls ancestors fought so hard for y' all to be given all the.
B
Y' all are given yalls and.
A
And then.
B
Did you just hear yourself?
A
And then now you're just complaining about it. All the work they put in. All the work they put in.
B
That animal put in so much work to give y' all all this shit. What, the right to vote and the right to ourselves. Hell yeah.
A
Isn't that my great God, Isn't that great? Why don't you stop complaining all the time?
B
Oh, the universe. Universe.
A
Down on you. There's so much negativity. Why not just be positive a little bit? I know there needs to be change and some things addressed, but there's been good done. It's okay to be a little bit like, you know, hey, let's, let's, you know, celebrate the small wins.
B
Throw something at you.
A
No, but you got to celebrate the small wins or else.
B
What are we even talking about? Where are the wins? Where are this coming from?
A
What do you mean? Where are the small wins coming from? Look at the things that have happened over the past years.
B
Me too.
A
Movement. Huge win. That's a huge win for women. That was awesome. You talk about more equal pain treated better in the workplace. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of good things coming. There's A lot of good things.
B
Oh, there's good things coming. There's good things coming. There is a literal movement right now, female president, maybe one day, that wants to rework and not get women to vote. They think that. That we should take voting away from women. Whole church organization with hundreds of thousands of people backing it, signing petitions right now.
A
Are they all men or they're women in there? They're all men. No. You know, there's some women in there.
B
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
A
You know, there's some women in there.
B
Yeah. Probably their wives that are being held captive and brainwashed.
A
The cult. That's just a messed up. That's just a messed up group of individuals. Those are outliers. You know, when you have a graph, you know what you chart on the graph? Everything but the outliers. You take away the outliers, you go, ah, those. Those are rare.
B
Those.
A
You don't. Outliers, take those away and you look at them. You look at the main graph. I'm talking main graph here. I'm talking main graph.
B
You, white man. Main graph. You're not even American. You're white.
A
You're not a man.
B
I'm not a man.
A
That doesn't just need the freedom to just.
B
Yes, it does. White men. Anyone can judge a white man. Also oppressed white man.
A
Native American. Native American.
B
You.
A
Yeah. Who's more minority now? Immigrant. Immigrant. Native American. What's up?
B
That's what I started this by saying. You're not even American. Why are we having this conversation?
A
So you're trying to silence an immigrant?
B
Yes.
A
You don't have a conversation.
B
Hey, you didn't know what ice? Was.
A
That to do with anything? I knew exactly what it was. I didn't know that the current state of the ice was going on. I knew what it was. I just didn't know what it was going on.
B
Okay. Do we want to move on?
A
Do you want to move on?
B
It's you.
A
That was what I was saying.
B
You started all of this.
A
Yeah, by saying you need to move on.
B
From what? Advocating for women. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'm so tired. I'm so tired.
A
You're tired? I'm in Lisbon. I'm in Lisbon.
B
Congratulations. I wish I was in Lisbon.
A
No, it's not even warm here right now. It's beautiful city, beautiful people. Food's pretty good, too, but it's kind of chilly.
B
What hotel are you at?
A
Santa Marcus.
B
Oh, I think that's where I stayed. Cool. Have fun.
A
Oh, really? You've been to Lisbon.
B
My sister got married there like two months ago. Literally. Told you about it on the podcast.
A
Dude. Wild. How was the weather when you were here?
B
Perfect.
A
It's a little bit. It's a little bit chilly. It's like 63.
B
I mean, it snowed in New York today.
A
Damn. Snowed in Toronto yesterday, too.
B
Wow. Good thing.
A
Probably Antarctica as well.
B
Yeah. And Chicago.
A
You're just guessing or you know, I.
B
Know fair that I'm moving. I want to go to, like, somewhere warm. I'm so over this. Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter spotted at the corner store in New York City. And the Internet is cracking up about their height difference.
A
Damn.
B
This is me and Hannah's height difference.
A
One is like at the height of the doorknob and then one is towering over the truck.
B
She is so tiny and cute. But Taylor also is tall, but she wears like six inch high heels. Like she wears platform shoes, so she just makes herself extra tall. And then Sabrina doesn't wear platform, so it just looks crazy. It looks like mama and daughter.
A
It kind of does a little bit. Or like. Like a reality. Not reality, like a TV sitcom. Mother, daughter duo.
B
Yeah. Did you ever see the movie Materialist with Pedro Pascal where he got the leg lengthening surgery?
A
I haven't seen that one.
B
It's bizarre. He got his legs. He was. He was like 5, 5, 10 maybe. And then he got his legs, like, broken and stretched. And then he was 6, 3. And it changed his life significantly. Wow.
A
Did it like actually in real life, or is this just for the movie?
B
For the film? Like, it was like his life changed significantly. Being a taller man, which I could totally see because I think, based on a true story, dismiss short men, which is mean. That's a mean thing that women do. I'll say that I do it.
A
I would say part of the problem.
B
Yeah. I would say. No, it wasn't a true story.
A
Fair, Fair. All right. Well, the sexiest man alive, Jonathan Bailey.
B
Yeah. Damn friggin right he is. He's the first outwardly gay man to be the world's sexiest man.
A
Who was the first? Inwardly?
B
I think that's up for debate.
A
Who would you say it is?
B
I'm not gonna lie. Don't know the list of the world's sexiest men off the top.
A
Oh, really?
B
Do you, sir?
A
Oh, of course.
B
I think maybe people came out after. But he was like the first. He's the first openly one. And he is so sexy. Wow. I can't wait. For Wicked 2, we had John.
A
Wait, wait, wait a second time.
B
Out. What?
A
Go over. Slide that safari page over. Same dude.
B
Yeah. Jonathan Bailey.
A
Can. Can you zoom into that picture right there? His corner picture. Hey, good for him. Good for him.
B
The recent ones, so. They're so straight. We got Jonathan Krasinski, Patrick Dempsey, Chris Evans and Paul Rudd. Those are like straight men, right?
A
The epitome of straight.
B
Yeah. Patrick Dempsey. I wish he would win it every damn year.
A
Well, good for Bailey. Good for him, man.
B
We got a lot.
A
I might be the sexiest gay dude I've ever seen.
B
Yeah, I think he's just like, sexy, period. It's so. It's so sad for the ladies because.
A
It'S like, damn, do you know sexier gay dude. Think about it.
B
Trying to think of my favorite gay guys. I mean, a lot. Majority of gay guys are pretty sexy because they actually care about hygiene and like the way that they look.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that guy. That guy is sexy without sexing it up. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, the gay sex it up. They sex it up. They know how to sex it up. I've never said that word so many times back to back to back. But he is like a natural. You can tell what you. You can just look at him. And he's got. So I'm trying to think.
B
He doesn't really need to try. He just oozes sexy.
A
Who.
B
Who.
A
Who's sexiest man alive?
B
I was kind of.
A
That hasn't been. Hasn't been voted for. That's gay.
B
I would just say Eric Dane, but he's not gay. He's only gay in that movie.
A
Yeah, no, the gay is a part of the requirements.
B
Yeah. I don't know. I think every gay guy, famous gay guy is super sexy.
A
Maybe Jonathan Bailey's the sexiest.
B
Yeah. I mean, yeah, he won.
A
Good for him. Good for the gays.
B
Win for the gays is a win for all. Love island spin off beyond the Villa renewed for a season two. Wait, what?
A
There we go.
B
Who's gonna be on.
A
I guess. Yeah, people like the game show stuff or like the. Yeah, that was like the whole element of it, right?
B
Like. No, this one is. You remember how they did it with Leah? It wasn't that one. It was the other one where they're like living in LA and they follow them around.
A
Oh, they're gonna. Is it with the same people or is it with the new season?
B
This one is with Amaya, Adriana, Adrina. Sorry. Bella, Brian, Chris, Clark, Coco, Grayson, Hannah, Iris, Jeremiah, Pepe, Taylor and tj. No Huda? No. Austin no Ace, no Shelly. No Nick. No Alandria. Damn, that's a good cast. I wish that. I wish that all of the people that aren't in it were in it.
A
I mean, it'll be cool to see Jeremiah in it. It's gonna be a little. It's gonna be a little messy with Pepe and TJ and Iris all back together in a room.
B
Love that. That's so. That's gonna be tea.
A
That'll be fun to see. And everyone, like, dogging on him for selling the boo boos.
B
Yeah. I mean, yeah. That's crazy. I didn't even know that was the thing.
A
Well, see what happens.
B
He was on the street selling the boo boos.
A
I don't know. I don't know where you're selling them. I just. I've heard it through the grapevine. You sell them with boo boos.
B
Oh, okay. Well, good for him. Money is money.
A
Hey, whoever, you got to do it.
B
A check is a check.
A
Yes, it is the bank.
B
Gronk is retiring as a Patriot.
A
Yeah. He's signing a one day contract and then he's going to retire officially from the NFL.
B
That is really awesome. I love him so much. I love New England. The Patriots are so fucking back, baby. It was a hard three years, but we are fucking back.
A
You literally said like three weeks ago you were jumping to the bills.
B
I literally can't just go to any team.
A
Hop back.
B
I literally would go, no. But I also said my roots are all in Boston. Teams, like, that's what I'm rooting for. But I don't care about sports. Like we said last episode or the episode before. It's not that deep. I just like to go, rah, rah, rah, win, win. It's not for me.
A
Some would disagree.
B
For me.
A
All right, is he the greatest tight end of all time? Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Come on.
B
He's just a good guy. Nice guy, beautiful girlfriend. Cool. Oh, your girl next. Oh, nope.
A
Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence. Shades. Courtney Kardashian. I saw this during a lie detector test for the Just had a stroke for the Vanity Fair. Jennifer Lawrence spoke up about how she really feels about Kourtney Kardashian. Do we have the clip or am I supposed to read this transcript? Read it for real.
B
We can't put any clips in. We get sued. I want you to read it in your best.
A
Who would want to? Yeah, but who wants to see me do the thing? We're a clip.
B
Show that it's lame. And that's why BFFs is ending. Guys, it's not by our. It's not by us. It's by the patriarchy. What the hell?
A
All right, well, she said Courtney's more annoying than ever. She drives me nuts. Because everything has to be an announcement. It's like, you know, I'm not gonna wear outfits anymore. Just wear whatever you want. Don't make an announcement about it. Or, like, I don't have a TV in my room. Just don't watch tv. Stop announcing it. Just shush. It was pretty funny when she said it. If you guys got to see the original video, maybe we all could have laughed.
B
Yeah. Yeah. I love Jennifer Lawrence. I love how she talks about people on reality tv like, she's not a mega superstar and they're not real people and they're like, not gonna see it. I actually love that quality about her. She's just like, no, it's great.
A
She keeps it real.
B
Her promotion with her movie with Robert Pattison. They are my favorite people in the world.
A
I've seen a couple. I've seen a couple of interviews. They do look very fun together.
B
Yeah. Robert Patterson says he is Gen Z. And she's like, no, you're not. You're a millennial. And he's like, no, I'm Gen Z. She's like, how old are you? He's like, gen Z. He's like. He's like 40.
A
Yeah, he's definitely not Gen Z. But talking about movies, Sydney Sweeney's new movie, Christie, has one of the worst box office debuts of all time. It debuted at 1.3 million after its release over the weekend. So that's. Yeah. One of the all time worst worldwide box office openings.
B
Yeah. I mean, that's what happens when you make the people that would actually go see your movies, not like you. You got a pander. If you want to make it, you gotta pander.
A
You gotta do a little bit of pandering. You gotta do a little bit of pandering. Yeah. I also just don't know. Like, we've seen the boxing movies a lot. We've seen a huge amount of fighting movies. It like Rocky had its moment. It was a while. Then we had Creed, and then it was like there were so many fight movies. And older fight movies started getting recognition. I think, like, with everyone loving the Creed, like stuff like Southpaw, like other movies were starting to get watched as well. The Fighter, like, so I think. I don't know, I think to a degree, people might have just been kind of tired of seeing it like that. They might have just Been like, do. Do we really want to go watch another one of these. These boxing movies? Like, the Rock just had one. I don't think that one did very well in the box office either. Then there was the. The Zac Efron one. What was that movie called again? It's more about wrestlers. Yeah, Iron Claw, that's the wrestler. But that one did great. But I think, like, you know, that one was at least a little bit different where it's about wrestling and it had that IP to its. Or it had the IP that it does. So I just. I don't know if there was really a market for this movie. Regardless, I don't know if it would have mattered if she did a Gene ad or not. I think. I don't think people really would have went to this movie no matter what.
B
I. Well, I think this. The movie, like, the story of Christy Martin is incredible. Like, it's kind of. It's more so about, like, domestic violence and stuff. And, like, it is cool for, like, people to watch a female boxer, like a woman boxer, right? Because they are all guy boxer movies. Like Million Dollar Baby. Oh, my God, best movie ever. But one, people hate her. Two, you watch the trailer, and it's the worst acting you've ever seen. Like, this story, I think, could have been done so much better if they put in a better, proper cast. Cast. Yeah. Or a better mate lead, to be honest. Like, she has a different accent in every clip in the trailer. And it's just like, I don't. I don't know.
A
Do you think, honestly, that women want to go and watch a boxing movie?
B
Personally, my favorite movies are, like, sports movies.
A
Right, right, right. I understand that might be like, a you personal thing, but do you think, like, the general population, like, looking at. Going and making, like, a hit film and stuff, do you think. Because, I don't know. I think, like, the sad. The sad truth is I don't know how many guys are going to that Christie movie. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I just think that they're gonna pick other movies to go to that are in theaters over that. And when you look at, like, you know, middle America or if you look at America, like, movie theaters are expensive. You know, if you're going to the movie theaters and let's say you're going on a date or whatever to the movie theaters, like. Like, you're talking about $50 minimum. That's if, like, you guys just both get a ticket and maybe share a drink, it's like $50, right? So they're only a lot of, A lot of people are like, if they're going to the movies, they're going to pick one movie a week that they get to go to at most. So it's like, do you think they're spending their one movie a week they're getting on, going to see Christie? I think, guys, probably not. That's a safe bet. I. I would assume, I don't think anyone would be like, that's a hot take. That's crazy to like, general population speaking. I think I would enjoy the movie. But even me, like, I don't know if that would be my 1 pick. If I'm getting to pick 1 mov. I'd probably go see Black Phone too, right now. Or I'd probably go, you know, there might be other things I go see. And then I think for females, do you think that might be the same where it's like, that's just not the movie they're going to pick to go see right now.
B
If this was, I think you think those a list celebrities, like a Scarlett Johansson, people would be going to see it. I really do think that.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe, maybe it'd be a different story.
B
And it's just not a good time for her. Like maybe a few months ago, but people really hate her right now. Whether you want to be. Like the gene ad didn't matter. What if you think it was that deep or not. Like, a lot of people don't like her now. So I. And people are just so adamant about hating people now.
A
And do you see her interview? The what?
B
Did you see her interview?
A
I saw like a little clip I thought where she had said, like, talked about how the Gene ad was like, crazy, whatever came from it, but I didn't see much.
B
Yeah, I think she had an opportunity to, like I said, pander, even if she doesn't believe it. Like, your career is based off of numbers and getting people to come see your movies. Like, pander to the crowd that hates you and apologize and that's not bending a knee that's going to make your career better. I don't know. I just feel like it's a bad move.
A
I didn't really. I didn't watch the interview.
B
So, yeah, I don't know. I just. She just rubs me the wrong way. Fair Taylor Swift's bridesmaids revealed. How did I not see this?
A
Who's got the bridesmaids?
B
All right, guys, quick commercial break. Your squad can hype you up, but they can't tackle your finances. That's Where Experian comes in your new big financial friend that helps you stay on top of your FICO score, helps you find ways to save, and it helps you find credit cards that match your lifestyle all in one free app.
A
App.
B
And here's the clutch move. Some of those cards are labeled no Ding decline. So that means if you're not approved, your credit score stays safe. I'm telling you, it's legit. You can download the experience app and share it with the fam because everyone could use a big financial friend. Applying for no Ding decline cards won't hurt your credit score. If you aren't initially approved. Initial approval will result in a hard inquiry which may impact your credit score. Let's get back to the episode. Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez have been asked to be in the bridal party. Nice. And Taylor wants to start the wedding process the way building her bridesmaids group and letting everyone involved in the preparation, celebrations and planning. This would be so fun to have a wedding where money is not an issue. Because like I've been to so many weddings where bachelorettes is just like, they're so expensive, people can't afford it. Imagine just not having to worry about a damn thing.
A
I mean, yeah, that'd be wild. You just all yeses to any ideas. Yeah, sky's the limit. Be nice.
B
So cool. Have fun. Happy for you. What do we got next, Jay?
A
Orlando Bloom's new girlfriend dressed up as ex Katy Perry for Halloween.
B
Wild.
A
Orlando Bloom was photographed with Rachel Lynn Matthews on Halloween and the actress was dressed as his ex Katy Perry. I mean this is, this is craze.
B
This means that he's still in love with Katy Perry if he allowed this to happen. Because that means they sit around and gossip about her, they talk shit about her and he's. It's like, it's literally like the Taylor Swift song. Actually romantic. Like this is actually romantic.
A
Yeah, I don't know, that's. It's super strange to me. I think it just kind of like, you look obsessed.
B
Obsessed. Imagine you, Gabby, wanted to dress up as an ex girlfriend. You'd be like, what? Who? What the. Or you.
A
Yeah, ex boyfriend.
B
Don't.
A
Don't do that. Yeah, I, I don't know. That's. That's really strange. I wonder if it was his idea or hers.
B
I feel like it was a collab post.
A
A little retweet situation.
B
Yeah. I mean he has to co sign this because he's going to know people are going to see it.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. So Wild move. Look obsessed.
B
Yeah.
A
I mean, good, you're in the chat.
B
Yeah, Katie's. Katie's cracking super hottie Trudeau, and she is crushing it on tour. And Orlando Bloom just looks crazy, so.
A
Yeah, it's too bad. I love Orlando Bloom.
B
Me, too. He was my first crush. Gosh, whatever. We all go.
A
Did he face his punishment after alleged three ways prison phone call? 7 three ways on the phone now, guys. Freaking it up everywhere. According to CBS News documents, Diddy has already broken prison rules just a few days into his incarceration.
B
Did.
A
He reportedly made a three person call to discuss issuing a statement to the New York Times, but ended up in violation of the Bureau of Prison Rules. Guidelines restrict inmates from adding multiple people to phone calls for fear inmates could use them to coordinate criminal activity. All right, well, look at him. Already breaking the rules.
B
Yeah. Like, yeah, it's crazy. He's in jail. Just relax.
A
I also don't, like, know why you're really stressing about pr.
B
Yeah. You. You're never going to stay silent for.
A
A bit, like, let this. Let this kind of, like, you know, fade away before you start making PR statements again.
B
Like, there's no escaping what you have done, brother.
A
No, no, no.
B
You're there. You're there.
A
I also saw he was already, like, drinking, like, the toilet wine.
B
Yeah, he's getting wasted.
A
It's getting wasted and stuff.
B
I hate this guy. I hope he's in jail forever. Wasted.
A
Yeah, well, he'll be out in probably, like, three years, so.
B
Everyone block your doors. Freako.
A
You lock up your. Lock up your baby oil just couldn't get real.
B
BFFs corner. I am.
A
You go to Hawaii.
B
I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow. I don't know if I told you about this. I'm going. I'm kind of a little stressed out about it, to be honest. One, haven't packed yet. Two, I am a plus one to a wedding that I know nobody at the person that I'm going with. Granted, Love him. He's great. I don't really know him either. And I'm staying with him for four days in a hotel room, and I'm going to a wedding where I don't know anyone. And. Yeah, shorts and. Why? It's gonna be great. I'm excited. But I also have crippling anxiety over it.
A
Take the free vacation. You talked to. You talked to my Twitch chat about this? A little bit, I think, actually.
B
Oh, I did.
A
Yeah. No, hey, it's an adventure. Sure. It'll be a great story.
B
Yeah. For the plot, right?
A
Sometimes you got to do it for the plot.
B
Yeah, for the plot. And Special Forces. The finale is next week, so this episode is crazy. And then next week is the finale. So let's see. Let's see if Bri wins.
A
See what happens to Brie.
B
See what happens to Brie. Lock in. Catch up on all the Special Forces so that you can not get it spoiled, and then watch the finale.
A
Let's see.
B
You're in Lisbon. You're having a blast.
A
I'm in Lisbon. Like, yeah, I kind of already explained Web Summit. We're out here doing that. Have a couple panels to speak on, which I've already actually done both of. Have a little dinner to go to after this podcast, and then catch, like, two hours of sleep, head to the airport, back to la, so kind of leaving Lisbon.
B
All right, cool.
A
Yeah.
B
And you also left the Barstool Invitational because you got eliminated.
A
I did, man. I did. Made it to the final. I would like to say I was top nine. That's how I break it down. Made it to the last 12. We were the third best team out of the last 12. So if I'm, like, the worst guy on my team that made it, that would put me at nine. Right. So I'm saying I'm. I'm at least night in the standings of that tournament, or at least my elimination spot is. I think we really could have made it to. To the last day. Can't really speak about anything else, because then I would spoil something. But everyone thought I had spoiled it. By the way, everyone thought I spoiled the Invitational. And it said I won the Invitational or something like that. I got, like, a text and a call from Bob. He was like, hey, did you tell people something that happened in the Invitational? We're getting comments saying, like, Josh spoiled the. The ending. And it was, I think, because talking to you about how I won the Creator Classic and people somehow twisted it into that. I won the Invitational because Brad Dalkey. I won the Creator Classic with Brad Dalki, was also in the Invitational. I. So I don't know if they twisted it or if it was like when I said. I might have said at one point, like, I. I've never lost a golf tournament, but I was. Obviously, I'm not gonna. Yeah, I'm not gonna talk about the Invitational when we're not allowed to talk about the Imitational. So I probably had said, I've never lost a golf tournament in the Invitational. It happened, but I, like, obviously was not allowed to talk about it. So I was just you know you're.
B
Talking about something else. Yeah, well, you made it to top nine, but did you ever crack a thumbnail?
A
I don't think I even. I touched. I don't even think I sniffed the thumbnail.
B
Not even close, buddy.
A
I don't think I came close.
B
Damn. This isn't on the sheet, but I just saw a video of it on YouTube. I guess it's kind of BFF's corner because it's our old BFF. Did you see that video of that guy being crazy to Dave in. In Mississippi?
A
No.
B
He was doing a pizza review, and some kid came walking by and said, fuck the Jews and threw pennies at him. Crazy. Like, in the middle of his pizza review, just said, fuck the Jews, and then started saying all this crazy stuff to Dave, and he's like, what the hell is going on? Obviously, everyone around Dave, like, just. Like, the civilians in the area were like, fuck you, dude. What's wrong with you? They got his face on camera, and before Dave could even post the pizza review, someone from another angle had posted it. And the police found this kid and arrested him for disturbing the peace, which I'm sure he won't go to jail or anything, but his life is ruined now. Like, he'll never have a job or he'll be able to get a job. Like. Yeah. It's just so crazy people actually have that much hate or act that way. It's so bizarre.
A
Yeah. That's fucking whack.
B
Yeah. I can't believe you haven't seen that. You have to check it out. He literally is doing the pizza review, and he throws pennies at him and says the Jews. Like, in the middle of the broad daylight on the street.
A
I can't believe that. No. I don't know how I've missed that or not seen it. Probably because I'm on Lisbon time. But.
B
Yeah, that guy.
A
Yeah.
B
Glad he got arrested, but Dave had a great time in Mississippi. Other than that.
A
That's good. Yeah.
B
Yeah. Good for him. Good pizza, good vibes, Bad guy. Yeah. That's bffs.
A
Well, see you next week.
B
See you next week for our final funeral last episode. Okay, Bye. Bye.
