A
The Diddy doc is out. Are people talking about the Diddy doc? Are we, Are we? Are we at like, what is it when you're Diddy fatigue?
B
I was very interested to hear that 50 Cent was putting out a documentary, but he announced it like a year ago.
A
The fact that, that 50 Cent has dedicated his life to trolling other people, making documentaries about his enemies, it's hard not to. To just bow down. I mean, he could be on a yacht truly for the rest of his life, this guy. And he sets his alarm every morning at 4am to be the Michael Jordan of trolling.
B
It's probably something that he's been thinking about for decades.
A
I want to know the thing. Was it at a party, he was rude. Like something happened. He took us. He put you on a song and then took you off. I need to know the wound.
B
There's a story that 50 Cent was. Had a meeting with P. Diddy early in his career. And in front of a bunch of people, Diddy offered to take him shopping.
A
Take you shopping? Just like two gals on a Saturday just headed to the mall. Yeah. Like, yeah. No, Diddy, I'm not going to go to the ball with you. I have a bullet hole in my face. I got it. I have in my. Up here in this noggin, a birthday bop that will forever change music.
You know that song Happy Birthday.
That everyone. I'm gonna replace it. I don't need to go to Zara with you.
I'm gonna replace Happy Birthday. Can you imagine that's like being like, you know, salt and pepper. I have a better one. You know, peanut butter and jelly. Ah, you don't even know about this. That song. I guess once you write that song, you're like, I can do anything. It gets better. Every time I hear is a. Every time I hear it, I go lower it like, it hits you with joy.
B
I think career wise too, they're polar opposites. Everything that, that I relearned in the Diddy documentary was how he was basically, Diddy was using all the old record industry tricks to never have to pay anybody and keep everything. And on the other side, when G Unit Records were coming out, 50 Cent was interrupting his own album cycles to make sure that everyone that was coming up with him was being put on at the same time, which is really cool.
A
Aubrey o', Day, sometimes blondes, because they're so invincible, they, like Aubrey o' Day had been saying this. She did some band with Diddy and was like, I got paid $400. And we were all like, nah. Yeah, but you got to be on TV. And she's like, no, it was like, $400. And we're all like, shut up. You have lip filler. And she's like, no, it was like, 400. Like.
B
Like Danity Cane.
A
Yeah.
B
Dan.
A
Dan Diddy Kane. What's a danditty? Oh, because it's Diddy is in it.
B
No, that was Diddy. Dirty money. Well, what's Dan Diddy Danity Kane?
A
What is that?
B
It's a. It's like. It's like a word generator.
A
Naming a band, but I can't say it, though. Yeah, Danity. What is a Danity?
B
Don't. You'll never have to.
A
No, I need to know. I. You know, that etymology is my kink in my side. I need to know.
B
It's like calling something bibbidi.
A
Boop. But is it a prank? Am I being pranked?
B
Although. Yeah, that was a big prank.
A
Okay.
B
It was a huge prank.
A
I don't like finding out later. It's like, I just found out it's chest of drawers. I thought it was Chester drawers. Like, I am now at a point where I'm gonna. If I don't understand something, I'm gonna stop.
B
Are you talking about the. The guy who invented the Chester? Yeah.
A
No, stop. I said it's the best thing since Life's bread for 20 years.
B
That's deep, though.
A
I'm not. I'm just. I. I'll stop now and go. Can tell me. So. I'm not dumb and I don't humiliate myself, so. Okay. I did watch the 50 Cent documentary. This is the. This is what I make time for. I feel like everyone's kind of. Now that he's not going to jail forever, we're kind of like. Like, like, you know, there's obviously. You know, I think it's subconsciously. We're like, well, something's obviously afoot here that he's gonna only do, what, two or three years? We're like, let's just slowly back away. This guy's gonna be out soon. Yeah, like, this guy's gonna be out.
B
And he's not crazy old. Like. Like, when a lot of people in entertainment are getting taken down at the end of their career or whatever.
A
Did you see Morgan Freeman at, like, 85?
B
Oh, no.
A
People were like, he's a creep. Was like, damn, it's a buzzer. And that could go either way. It's either. He was like, when someone gets canceled that late, it's either like, this guy was real bad. And they just waited.
B
Yeah, hold on.
A
There was someone else that just. At the buzzer.
B
Oh, Smokey Robinson.
A
That was it. Yeah, yeah.
B
50 million here, 50 million there.
A
Have none of you seen Pretty Woman? Do none of you know you have to pretend to love them? You got to give them some pancakes, give them a credit card, let them go into Beverly Hills and call it a day? Okay, you gotta. What happened to foreplay?
B
What happened to tricking these people?
A
What happened to just lying? When did people just. Oh, God. Okay, so Diddy documentary. I do think. Here's the takeaways that I think are actually worth that. If you are going to watch or aren't going to watch it, here's. I think the takeaways because it, it, it is kind of fascinating. Even though you're a lot of stuff you might already know. And I noticed a couple things I feel like other people wouldn't necessarily have noticed. You know me. I don't know what it is. Is it Asperger's? I. I was born to be a detective. Let's be honest. It is my calling. It is my passion. But I wasn't loved as a child. So instead my. My career is to make strangers love me in dark rooms at night. So hot tip that I have gleaned from the Diddy documentary, if you're gonna film everything you do, make sure you dress accordingly. This is a man that did not. If you're gonna be a psychopath with a strategic sort of approach to building an empire on taking advantage of people and committing crimes. How about that? You just take a couple minutes to pick what you wear on your 24. 7.
Intentional surveillance. He didn't think things through. You can't lose your temper screaming at someone on the phone in a Von Dutch T shirt. You can't scream at someone in a Von Dutch shirt or the other person automatically wins. Thank God this was before FaceTime. He's on the phone, he's like screaming at someone. If it had been FaceTime, the other person would have been like, I win, Von Dutch. Bye. Like, the Godfather was in a suit for a reason. You can't behave like you're some mafia leader in swag that you got at what, Jake Gyllenhaal's sweet sixteen? I don't even know. In the documentary about B Day scandal, he's wearing Von Dutch. In the documentary about P. Diddy's scandal, he's wearing a brand that also had a documentary about its scandal. It was like a Russian nesting doll of people with document. Like in every scene. Where he's leading up to the trial, trying to not be found guilty. He's dressed in spandex, like, running pants and sneakers. He's like, I'm not gonna run. You're literally dressed to. I said, I'm not going to flee. I'm going to stay here. I'm going to. I'm going to. He's dressed like an Olympic sprinter. He's dressed like he's about to run from the law at all times in actual sneakers. He's wearing the pants. The Spanish under the shorts. Okay, Just think through your wardrobe. If you. If he was in, like, a suit in, like. Like, oxfords, I'd be like, okay, he's here for the. He's literally just like.
So watching the whole documentary for me was just kind of a reminder of how not a surprise any of this was. The guy changed his name four times, three times. No one does that because they're not doing crimes. Except Prince. Prince changed his name to protest his music label, which is cool, But Diddy just was, like, dropping new names all the time. And remember how we just went with that? Sean Combs. Cool. He's so mature now. He does sweatsuits, but now it's Diddy. Like, oh, you're Diddy now. Like, the fact that we just went with that and thought it was cool is so wild. His main hit is the lyric is can't stop, won't stop. Fine. He was married to a woman his age. You know, that's always the biggest red flag for me. For a billionaire. I'm sorry. A woman his age. Okay, okay. Every famous person. There's, like, the ex who they were married to when they got big.
B
Like their first life.
A
Yes, exactly. The person that probably helped them, the person that was their rock, the person that supported them. And the second they got successful, they were like, you're just not testing well. Diddy was with Kim Porter. Still, no one can figure out how she died. The point is, there's a part in the beginning where they talk about how they met. There's a lot of. I. I'm the one that zooms in on things. People just blow past. And someone blew past this in the beginning. Someone's going, you know, in the. He was an intern, and he wanted to be with Kim Porter. He met Kim Porter. Diddy wasn't really a catch. He was a square. He was kind of not a big. You know, he didn't drink alcohol. He swore off drugs. And then they go make fun of his haircut. People just blow past that. He doesn't drink at 19, I don't drink. If you get sober because your life fell apart and you drank and it didn't work out for you, I get it. Someone to be so anti drinking, anti not having control at that age, someone that is that anti drinking while also building a business making alcohol for other people to drink. You might be a psychopath, okay? I've known. We all know those people who are like, I don't drink. I don't. And you're like, what's that? What is this? If it hasn't destroyed your life already. You're just saying, like, I'm not going to be. I'm not. Everyone else is going to be drunk and I'm not everyone. Why is that your thing? Why do you hate not having control so much? Like, good for you, okay? But if you don't drink, you just go like, no, thanks, not for me. Like, you know, to be like, I don't drink. That's my thing, right? I couldn't drink anymore. Ruined my life, okay? I had. I had blue and orange hair for two years straight, okay? I started helping out family members financially who view me as an ATM machine. I. I enabled that so I can't drink. My problem with I too nice when I drink, I don't get DUIs. I get drunk and I buy someone else a car that secretly hates me. I start dying my hair and letting people live in my house who want to destroy me. So I don't drink substances. But. But I have what is called the allergy to alcohol. My life doesn't get better with. But I learned the hard way. A lot of people can drink and not bankroll psychopaths. I'm not one of those people. But anyone who doesn't just try it has a little bit of a control issue. You know, like after the Diddy thing. And I used to think that was cool, though. It was like, oh, good, you never drank. You never. Good for you. But at 19 years old, to be the person who's like, I don't drink. I like staying awake while other people pass out. There's something off about that. At 19 years old, you're the party guy, but I'm not drinking. You're not someone that wants to if everyone else is drinking. The instinct at 19 should just be, I'm going to be as dumb as everyone else. Yes, it's dumb, sure. But you at that age, you're supposed to be like, I'm going to be as dumb as everyone else. Not, I'm going to watch everyone Else be dumb, and I'm going to be stone cold sober when other people are comose. Like, it's a weird thing at that age to want that early. Okay, so it does seem like a lot of people who have committed some very serious crimes are famous for saying, I don't drink at, like, early on. You know, it's like, how. You know how I think that the nicer everyone thinks someone is, the fishier I think they are. Based on interviews of neighbors after serial killers are busted. If you're a serial killer, you go out of your way to be very nice to your neighbors. If you asked any of my neighbors about me, they'd be like, she's nice. She's. She's pretty nice, but she's a little judgy about the Christmas tree lights. She asks to redo ours. She's lovely. She also has to repaint parts of our fence.
I mean, she's. She's a little neurotic, you know, she leaf blows her, you know, weird hours of the night. But I. I can't imagine she'd drown anyone. Like, I'm also not talking about, like, at 13, I was like this. At 13, I was like, I'm straight edge. Like, but to make not drinking cool, I thought it was cool to not drink even. You're 14. Like, I'm straight edge, even though it's not legal for me to drink for six more years. And I'm like, I don't drink. It's like, what? Like, I don't drink by choice. Like, I just. That some. That was like, very interesting to me because, like, when people at 19 are like, I don't drink ever. I just go to bars and watch people get drunk. You mean you're hunting? All right, we're now going to take a little bit of a break to talk about butts. We're probably talking about butts before. This probably has been a break from talking about butts, but we're talking about cleaning butts instead of soiling them. So look, we talk about skincare, we talk about self care, we talk about aftercare. No longer will will tushes be the butt of your jokes. Okay, time to clean them. Time to soften them. Time. It's enough already. Enough with babies having the soft butts around here. Good wipes. These wipes are 40% bigger and stronger than the average wipe, so they don't tear. They're designed to. To break down and be flushed. You can actually flush them down the toilet. Another thing that doesn't get any respect around Here. Good wipes are the best. They're soft. They're like a little. Little. A little. It's like, it's like your wipes. Like, like it's a gentle caress is really what it is. They're infused with aloe, chamomile, vitamin E. No harsh chemicals, parabens or dyes. Yuck. If you've got sensitive skin, this is a total game changer. My favorite is the rose water. I want to say is what it's called.

Usually these people are like control freaks, people who want to be on high alert while everyone else is not. There's some. When I don't drink and I go to a bar and everyone's drunk, I'm like, I want to go home. These people, they're not in control of themselves. They're annoying me. Someone that doesn't drink is like, I like how out of control everyone is and how they're not going to remember anything that happens to them. That's a weird thing to. To want to be around drunk people when you'. Sober. Okay. Also, there's a scene where a guy was talking about how he pursued Kim Porter, and the whole thing was like, he wouldn't take no for an answer. He met. He saw that was going to be his. What? He just kept pursuing and pursuing. I love that if a guy. And the idea was like, he's so ambitious, right? Like, in the beginning, we knew this guy. He would not. I love that if a guy shows up at a woman's work and tries and tries to date her and she keeps saying no, we call it romance. This is. This is something. He just blew past it as if that wasn't like. And this is when we should have known there was something off about this guy.
B
Somehow he ended up running the company after harassing the front desk lady for a year.
A
She was with someone else. He pushed and pushed, and even though she said no.
We'Re like. It's like, yeah, yeah, it was so. It's like the guy that John Cusack holding up the stereo in that movie. Why? First of all, okay, this drives me nuts. It just reminds me of this genre of romantic comedies where men just get to show up at women's work. Like, men just get to harass Women at their jobs and because they're.
B
I mean, what, are they interrupting?
A
What? What are they? What? What? There's, like, always, like, a scene where they're playing basketball. They're like, just go get her. Just. And they're like. He's like, but it's 2pm yeah, go to her work. She's giving a presentation behind, like, to 50 people. And he's like.
I'm Jeannie. You're the one. She's like, in a power. She's like, giving a presentation. And everyone on the conference table is like, go, go. This was nothing, what you were doing. This was fake. This. This presentation isn't real.
B
Anyway, we got it.
A
Yeah. This is what we'll. We'll take from here.
B
Going on a little long. Anyway, he's here.
A
Here. Fired. Anyway, like, it's always. Remember what was the movie where she's working and he carries her off and everyone claps. There's a movie. It's like she works at a bottle company or something. It's like, this is like an old, old movie. Like, what? When women first started, like, working in, like.
B
Oh, do you remember? Don't tell Mom. The Babysitter's day.
A
Oh, my gosh.
B
Christina Applegate fashion show at the pool.
A
Oh, yeah, of course I do. What are you talking about? Those hot fashions? Yes. I am obsessed with movies from the 80s where teenagers were 45 years old.
B
Actresses, they were all acting like marketing executives.
A
Everyone worked in a magazine or works in fashion. I do. Like, it's like, women are in the workforce. Okay, we're making a movie. What would a woman do? Work at a magazine.
B
Where's the air conditioning? That's where they want to be, right?
A
Fashion. They're going to work in, like, they're going to work in fashion and they're going to work in magazines.
B
Yeah. Up high, away from the shovels. Get them to work.
A
But there was one where she worked in a factory. I'm telling you, Officer and a Gentleman, we know women can't unionize. They can't get along.
I am just. I'm obsessed with this because we talk about how romantic comedies have messed up girls, and it makes women all want marriage and whatever. But, like, men saw them, too. Guys saw them too. Men were influenced by romantic comedies as well. And there's this idea that, like, if a guy shows up, that the guy holding up the stereo. John. Cus. The only reason that was hot is because stereos look heavy. They're very heavy. It was only hot because it means he was in Shape. But if a guy did that today with like an iPhone would be like, loser. Okay? The fact that so many rom coms showed guys being such like toxic psychopaths and we were brainwashed and believing that was romance is so funny to me. I mean, there was a whole genre of stop the wedding. Remember? A guy would not want to be with a girl, by the way, the most beautiful woman. It was like Kate Hudson. It was like a perfect 10. Like, no thanks. He would cheat on her like Jennifer Garner or someone wildly out of their league. She'd move on, figure out a way to cobble together her self esteem in life to find a guy who wouldn't dilly dally with the few years she had left to have a biological child. She has a wedding, the guy's like, wait, he's, he's, he's hooping outside. Someone else wants her. She's getting married. Someone else wants to be with her who respects her, who won't give her hpv. I shan't allow it.
B
Wait a minute. She doesn't know that I don't respect her parents money.
A
Not only do I not respect her or her time or biological clock, but I also do not respect her parents money or the lord of the church that she's getting married in that he crashes her wedding on like a scooter, a horse or a scooter. All of a sudden I'm like, I hope the groom. I hope you got an invoice for that.
B
Yeah, but her younger brother really likes him and gives him like, that's a great.
A
It's like an air gun. That's right. Also, a wedding takes like a year to plan. You've had time. You knew she was getting. You could have done this at the Save the date. Maybe. Maybe crash the engagement party. Not the expensive party where people are like in wheelchairs. Who flew in from Hollywood is creepy for so many reasons. But honestly, that is so much weirder to me than even like, like child acting. They're like, we're going to come for weddings.
Like to, to be like, yeah, you guys, let's make a movie, okay? Where the guy who cheated on the girl, the guy doesn't believe in monogamy, but it's fine. It's fine. He's like a divorce lawyer. He crashes the most important day of the girl's life on a motorcycle because get this, he changes his mind.
That's not a rom com. This is a psychological horror night. You guys are watching romantic comedies. Women were watching horror movies. Imagine if, Imagine if a girl Showed up and. And barged in on her boyfriend's secret family. I mean, we would be like, you are a crazy woman. I mean, when Chris is skating and I. I, like, wait in the car, like, if I.
B
The next time, you know, he's gonna go skate for the day somewhere.
A
Yeah.
B
Show up with a boombox.
A
He would love. He would. The problem is what he does for a living. He does ballet on ice. So anything I do could ruin his body or career. Like, the other day, we were decorating for Christmas, and I got up on a ladder, and I was like, no, no. If you shatter your knee putting a star on top of my Costco Christmas tree, like, the skate community will thrasher my neck. Like, every time I'm, like, at his job, I'm just sort of like, if I. What if I move? What if. You see? What if I. What if the. The. The. The wheelie goes bad? The point is, I. Whatever happened to Fifty Shades of Gray? I feel like they're not making any more. Is that done? Is that done? I love what movies are. I love genre.
B
The sequel.
A
Well, you know, there's a theory that the genre of movies that are big capitalizes on what our fears are. Like, so the. The genre of, like, babysitters stealing babies, Hand that rocks the cradle, stuff like that was when women were going in the workforce, like, in the 80s, like, capitalizing on women's fear of that and that zombie movies capitalized on our fear of homeless people. And then, I don't know. I feel like 50 shades of gray was, like, in the zeitgeist. Like, remember when Bondage was the biggest movie on earth? The biggest movie ever. This is how weird we are as people. The biggest movies is so wild to me are Passion of the Christmas. Okay? And then where the guy had a dungeon of weapons, but we didn't care because he was rich and she was a brunette. And then the one where the teenager was in love with a vampire, like, this is. We've been weird. We've been weird. Oh, by the way, the vampire who was 124 years old. I was thinking about Twilight the other day. He's 17, but he's not. She's like, how long have you been 17? 120 years. That feels like a pretty big age gap, you guys. It doesn't work in reverse either. You can't. You can't ever say she's 17, but she looks 40. She's 17, but she looks 100, so it's fine.
B
Oh, no. I'm the jerk.
A
You know, she looks, but look at her. She looks 100. Okay, you can't say he's 124, but he looks 17. So it's fine. Because I know what they're doing here with all this anti aging, Live Forever stuff. This movie feels like a test to see how we would react and we failed. Don't get me started on that Brian Johnson guy. You know, the Live Forever guy, Brian Johnson. Like, I, I have not yet formulated. I will, I will. If anyone cares a take or my, my take on this whole anti aging thing. I just know that he did the Rich Roll podcast and when Rich posted it, I just wrote in the comments, I don't know, man.
Sometimes you don't need to explain yourself. I don't know, man.
I don't know, man.
I don't have anything else to say.
B
Sometimes it's too early to share your information.
A
You know what? For people that say that I or, or for just the idea that like, ah, I have an opinion on everything, I really don't. I do not have an opinion until I really know what I'm saying. Until I really can like, like defend my take. And if people argue with me in the comments, I'm going to be like, okay with it or be mean to me in the comments. I'm going to be stand by it. I'm not ready on this particular thing.
B
You can't be an expert in anti aging. On your way.
A
On your way.
B
You have to be very old to have any evidence that your story makes sense.
A
And you can't get Botox.
B
You can't be aging.
A
Yeah. You're aging.
B
Telling people how you're not aging.
A
Yeah.
B
We don't know if this is gonna work for you or not.
A
When you go, hey, guess what? I'm 200. Yeah, I'm in.
B
Yes. When you dunk a basketball, you go, I'm 85.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Give advice for money.
A
Yes. And it's tricky because it's like, okay, whenever something is ostensibly really like what I'm like, maybe not. Maybe this is it. Like whatever emotional dyslexia I have, so it's like he's taking blood from his 18 year old. I'm like, everyone's leading out. And I'm like, wait a minute, what else are 18 year olds good for?
Like, I, I have questioned, like, maybe this is. I don't. I have question maybe. Why not? Why not? Who's. I don't know. By the time your kid is 18, you've spent so much money on them, you're Like, I. I believe I deserve a little of your blood. You have aged me. It's only fair. Okay. I don't. I don't. I don't know, man. I don't know, man. Rich called me and was like, what was that supposed to mean? It, like, started a thing. I was like, I just don't know. I don't know. Why is that a controversial take? When you say I don't know, people freak out more than if you pretend you're a know it all.
B
It's. It's insulting.
A
I just said, I don't know. I don't know.
Do you? Does anyone? None of us know with this guy, with this thing. I do know that. Living forever. What's the point if you only eat blueberries?
As someone who loves blueberries, if you're in a cryogenic chamber and in ice, if you live forever and are. If someone said, hey, do you wanna live forever, but you just have to be in an ice bath every day, I'd be like, I don't know, man. I just. There's something about this let's live forever thing where I'm like, have. Do you fly private, fly public and see if you want to live forever? There's something about the kind of people that want to live forever. I'm like, can I just see your life to see what's making you want to live forever so bad? Like, I'm just curious.
B
I mean, it's certainly. It's people who have entered a world of insane wealth.
A
That's it.
B
That's hyper fixated.
A
That. Okay, so I guess if I was in that world, I'd be like, I gotta do the like. This is. Whereas most people are like, what is this? How do we get this over with? The point is, Diddy, is the music is good. It's just it. The most heartbreaking part of the Diddy documentary was how much I was sweating as I was dancing.
How I kept hitting my head on the desk trying to twerk alone while watching it. I mean, every time a song came out, I was like, mm, this is. What a jerk. Like, it's bop after bop, man. We might have to keep musical geniuses in cages or something. That doesn't sound good, but maybe not cages. We might. Okay, you know what I'm saying? We might have to keep talented people in. There's a chance that what makes you that good at music is the exact reason why you must be isolated from others. I don't. You know, there's like, Megan's Law and, like, Amber Alert. That's based on someone named Megan and Amber. If there was ever a Whitney law, you know, it would be this. It would be like how certain people that are so talented and they just have to live in caves and, and they make hop ups from the kid. They're just not allowed to be around kids or have mansions or, or they can't just go buy baby oil whenever they want. There's, there's certain people that just shouldn't be able to buy baby oil, shouldn't be able to have access to other. Like there's a day where we might just go, congratulations, you have a billion dollars because you've created all these amazing things. But it, you are not capable of having empathy. And power does corrupt. You have too much power and not enough self control. So we are gonna, we're gonna do the same thing we do with tigers. We're gonna put you in a gorgeous.
It's like a call, it's like a gated community, but the gates are also on top. Okay. Until you decide to either donate all your money or you can live here. You don't get to run free and have parties and buy boats or get massages because it's just, you have too much money and power and it makes people weird. Watching this documentary was like, power is the wildest drug. And for music, it's just so, it's, it's also a little goofy. You go, la la la. What are we, five? Like you say you, you like for even the bops being good, you can't act like this. It's a, it's a little silly. Okay. It's also just like, it's crazy to me because in music it kind of makes sense because music is all about, I have power, I'm gonna take over. I own New York City. Like it's right there in the lyrics, right? But movies is even weirder. Like maybe I'm giving musicians more of a pass because in Hollywood the most of the movies are about how power corrupts. The people who are in movies about how villains are selfish and greedy and they hurt people and then they do. It is like, did David harbor, did he know he was playing the parts in movies of the person that he was? Didn't see the disconnect. You know, in the military when you come back and you have to have like a mandatory psychological assessment or we need that for performers. Like your first single is like you've gone to like we go to Germany and you have to take a big A quiz with a lot of people just being like, let's assess. Let's assess if mentally this person can handle another hit. You know what I mean? Let's see. I know people that have had, like, one big hit, and they're pretty normal. You know, they live in Encino.
B
That can ruin people pretty heavily, too.
A
True. But there's a couple. We're like, yeah, Jason Priestley seems to be doing okay. I and Ziering from 9020. He did seem to get in a fight with, like, a bunch of motorcycles on Hollywood Boulevard. And you're like, I feel like that.
B
That would have happened anyway.
A
I. I don't. I don't feel like that would have happened to someone who wasn't on 902. Ian's earring for some reason. Right. I'm just saying we have to start treating fame and power and instant success like these people have been through some kind of war and their brain is altered. Also, watching the Diddy doc, I think I also was like, huh? Who else? This isn't the first guy. This isn't the first. Everything y' all did been done. It's just most creeps, I think died. Diddy's mistake is he didn't die. There's a bunch of people who are creepy, and because they died, were, like, fine with it. I am in a wormhole on Elvis being a total weirdo with young girls dance. Like. There's a song called One Boy, Two Little Girls. There's a song called hey, Little Girl. It's truly what it's called. He's dancing with a toddler saying, hey, little girl, do you want to be a movie star? What in the R. Kelly was happening here? I will attack his grave today. If you don't think I will go to Graceland and pee on this man's grave. Is that where his grave is? I don't even know. I will if you don't think I won't vandalize Graceland. You okay? Fine, Smokey Robinson. It's weird to do it when someone's 80. To cancel someone at 80, 85. I'll do it when they've been dead for 50 years. I don't know how my algorithm knows exactly whose grave I need to pee on, but I am really in a. Hey, remember, I wasn't even around for Elvis. So I was like, hey, remember this person that by the time you were an adult, you sort of thought they were this cool. I don't know. What is it? Like, what was Elvis who care? Like, what was. Why was.
B
I think the phrase you're looking for is the king of rock and roll.
A
King of rock and roll. Okay, okay. All right.
B
I don't know who started calling him that, but okay. Eventually a lot of people called him that.
A
Okay, well, I'm. I'm out. Not Elvis. Okay? So I'm not. If I will, I will lead the charge on canceling Elvis. I do not care. Have you seen the if there's two videos like this one guy, two little girls. Girl already means little. Girl already means young. You don't have to add little girl. It's like when someone says, like, this young lady at my work, you're like, young. Why are you specifying the age? Like, what do you. What is this? Cash App the holidays.

Cheating worm of a person. Just tell the truth for once. Enough of this. Let's get into some global news, because I'm a real journalist. Next up on the podcast, a segment I call Calm Down, Everything's Fine. I'm going to dig into a news story that seems terrifying and may make you want to jump off a cliff, but I will tell you why you should calm down and stop being such a baby about it. Finland is turning data center waste heat into a powerful resource, capturing the excess warmth from servers and feeding it directly into data district heating networks that keep entire neighborhoods warm through long, freezing winters.
I beg your juiciest pardon. Firstly, what is the deal with Finland if. Why is it that. That Finland has become. Why are they. If you want someone in the United States to do something, just say, finland does it for whatever. I don't know. When we put Finland on a pedestal, if someone was like, I just started drinking my own piss every day. And you're like, why? And, like, because they do it in Finland. You'd be like, okay, a cup or a wheelbarrow. Do I. Do I do wheelbarrow pose and just let it. Let it drip into my mouth. Do I lick it off my. How do I drink my own piss? Look, looked into Finland. Finland is apparently world's happiest country.
Has the most saunas, most forests, and it's known as the land of a thousand lakes. MM has 188,000 lakes. Okay. The country is a parliamentary republic with Helsinki as its capital. Two languages, Finnish and Swedish, blah, blah, blah. Gained independence from Russia in 1917.
Granted women the right to vote in 1906. Okay, well, yeah, because, you know women. You can't vote from the bottom of a lake, can you? Any country has that many lakes is going to have happy people because you don't have to get a divorce. You just take your wife on a boat ride. Look, I respect you. I respect that you want to vote my wife of mine so much that I would love to hear all about who you're going to vote for in this canoe. Finland gained independence from Russia in 1917 during World War I. Russia's Bolshevik government recognized Finland's independence on December 1917. Okay. Russia isn't known for giving up on things. It wants things that are of value. I feel like Russia, if Russia doesn't want you, doesn't even put up a fight. I'm just. Okay. Finland always seems to me to be like the. The leader in things. Heat produced by these servers instead of heat. That's going to heat office buildings. Am I supposed to be excited about being cooked by data mining machines? How has big tech managed to be like, yes, we are stealing your data and your eyeball and your fingerprint to mix you into amalgam of human behavior. Sorry, we don't see you as human. Sorry, that was the wrong word. We will dehumanize you and reduce you to eyeballs and your dopamine receptors. We are taking your instinctive reactions to the ads we feed you based on what you already like and we will sell you something you don't even know you need with the money you know you don't have and then sell the data, which honestly doesn't need to be data. Any idiot can easily make the assumption that anyone who spends a lot of time on social media needs approval and validation from others and are going to buy them thing monogrammed with their name down.
No one needs to mine anyone's data. I can just tell you right now what Pat's gonna buy everyone. Have you ever like it shot people that run companies? Like, what do people buy? Like, why is it so shopper behavior is so obvious? I'm just saying I can't go on that tangent right now. I just want everyone to know we will cook with the heat from the data centers that are also cooking our brains. Metaphorically. It does make sense. We're already having our data mind. If it makes our electric bill go down a bit, why not? Why not? Honestly, why not just have your home be heated by you click clacking on your slot machine? That's what's missing with the Internet and the computer getting paid to be on it. Corporations are now getting honestly more benefit from our Internet addictions than they are getting from us buying things. Like the money. The amount of money a company makes from us already buying things is now added to the money that they get for selling the data of us buying our browsing behavior. Right? So we should get a cut of that. I just think we have to go, like we should get some of that money because we're technically working for you all day with our addiction searching things. And then you're selling our behavior. You're selling our behavior the same way that that companies used to mine coal. You're mining rb you're just mining again. If the heat in my house works for free only when I'm on the Internet buying things I don't need and googling my exes, then it might all burn a little less. But we, we can't just act like this is Amazing. This is what corporations and like psychopaths do is they make you feel grateful for being used by them. They find a way to go. Like these data mining centers are going to heat buildings, casinos. Now when you're in the slot, the act of you doing the slot lever is going to pump the water into the bathtub upstairs. When you go, when you realize that you've gambled away all of your child savings for college and you need to try to take the longest bath of all time and you're filling it up, that'll be from this. So the thing I didn't needed to do is gonna now benefit me. You've now you make my addiction worse because now I. You're rewarding it. So the toaster I just ordered isn't gonna get here in time for the. The lever that I to get the water up to get in the bathtub. But so now that people are going like, ah, no, no phone, no tech, no whatever. Now it's like. But it heats your home too.
I just see where this is going and I don't like it one bit. If you don't spend eight hours a day on the Internet, your child won't have heat because the data centers warm your home.
I don't like it. I don't like when people. I don't like when corporations make us grateful for the addiction we're all trying to kick.
Well, I think I started by saying everything's gonna be fine. That was what the segment was. So I do think it'll be fine.
B
Don't read into the dinosaurs behind you too much for the, the pending apocalypse.
A
That you're hinting at. Okay, so. So I'm a little bit into dinosaurs are fake. Like, I don't think dinosaurs were fake. They. If they were, again, it's the same thing with the moon landing. I have so much more respect for people who would do this long con.
And I was talking to my friend dan, who has two kids that are like 16 and 18 or something, and I was like, yeah, this is. I was showing him a video. And I like that because a lot of dinosaur bones in museums are fake, of course, but. And my son's obsessed with dinosaurs now, of course. And, and I.
I said, I was like, yeah, there's this thing. Well, because they're now saying that dinosaurs probably had feathers, which means they could have been any color. They definitely didn't look like the dinosaurs that we all like. They just slipped that like, for sure they had feathers. There's no way all the dinosaurs that we have of stuffed animals and bugs. Like, none of those.
B
They were just bald head to toe.
A
The fact that humans were like, let's make them bald. Like all these bald scientists were like, they didn't have hair.
B
Like, expect put a piece of hair in a million times on this kneecap.
A
The people at the museums are like, guys, guys, guys. I'm sure they had feathers. Lol. But like, we're not. I don't. You don't. You don't have dinosaur feather budget.
B
You can't afford accuracy right now. Guys. It's huge. It's got big teeth.
A
Ridiculous. We already did Big Bird. We already did Big Bird. Like we like Sesame street, like sued them.
Snuffle up against. Is that we can't. We have to differentiate our brain.
B
Get the sneakers off that woolly mammoth.
A
Okay, so. Okay, so you're telling me this triceratops had a mullet. Okay, Bill. Okay, Bill. Like someone there was like, there's. I don't know how these like, whatever paleontologists all get together, but the idea that they were all arguing and one's like, I think they had feathers. Like, all right, Bill, we know you're into dudes. The point. Okay, so the. The triceratops had a boa.
B
That one's just got like a golf putter sticking top of its head.
A
The Joe Durasaurus.
So I'm telling this to my friend. I'm like, yeah, there's like this conspiracy theory that dinosaurs were real. And he's like.
He's like, if that was fake. The idea that it was like, in each book they said like, this one is this many school buses.
Like, how long the con has gone. He's like, wait, but one of them was 12 school buses.
B
You can only describe it in measures that only children have reference to.
A
That's right.
B
No adult is going to see 12 school buses lined up.
A
It's always like. It's always like 72 lacrosse sticks, 2,000 gummy bears long. You're like, what?
Like, I feel like we found out crazier things are fake than dinosaurs.
B
Wrestling's fake.
A
That's perfect. That's a perfect.
B
Now I have a target on my head.
A
Santa.
We've gone as hard in the paint with Santa as we would have with dinosaurs. If dinosaurs are fake.
B
Krampus.
A
What's that? Oh, the wife.
That's his wife.
B
I'll put up a picture.
A
I just learned. I just learned about this from Chris. Goal. He that it's like in Norway because she's.
B
And having her period.
A
She's on her cramps still on the rag. Is that. Am I right, though?
B
No, the cramp. It's like the horned demon version of.
A
Santa Claus in Norway or whatever. And they walk around. Yeah, yeah. No, I've seen. They, like, I showed it to Chris. I was like, this is. He's like, that's awesome.
B
Yeah, he's super metal.
A
Yeah, no, he loves it. You guys should honestly just get married and all.
B
I'll get a boombox.
A
Just keep talking about dinosaurs. Okay. Also, I. The more I teach my son about dinosaurs, the more there are some things that were off. I mean, there is no way the T. Rex had that tiny of hands. There's no way. There was one that was just like.
Like, the scariest one was just like.
My son's even like, what's with this?
B
They were about to pull the curtain and someone's like, you forgot to put the arms on. And they're like, use these.
A
They just used human hands from a panic. Like the T. Rex. I'm not a scientist, but I know the T. Rex is wrong. Like, I know I'm not, like, an evolution specialist. I'm not. There's just no way. There's absolutely no way.
B
It's too funny. It's too funny.
A
Just too. Like, the scariest ones is like. Like, like, just duck walking. Just like. We're not. The T. Rex is off.
B
I'm just seeing so many AI like, Suno videos that I just wish weren't fake. Like, I saw. I saw one legal landed on somebody's roof and a monkey.
A
Oh, don't sit on the ledge and.
B
Jumped on the back of the eagle. And then the eagle flew with the monkey on its back. And I was like, but. But I really wish that wasn't fake.
A
But that's for sure happened.
B
I know. That's.
A
So there's things that AI can do that isn't footage of that thing, but it's happened, so it might as well be.
B
Yeah, that would be a great way to frame a platform that does AI videos where it's like, we only do plausible.
A
This would have. This has happened. There's just no way to capture it.
B
Yeah, it just hasn't been filmed yet.
A
Like, there's no footage of Pompeii, but you could AI it and just watch it, and then every time you close your eyes for the rest of your life, you see that. But, like, there's things that we don't have footage of that AI can go like, this is what it would have looked like, for sure. Monkeys have jumped on eagle's backs didn't end well for them at all also. But I don't want that. I kind of. You got to remember, Pat, we're edgers. Ultimately. We don't want that. That once you get that money shot, it's like, now what? Okay, it's like going to the sphere, and then you have to go. The most depressed people I know have been to the sphere because they went to the sphere and then they had to go back into the world. But they. They went to. They. They flew too close to the sun.
B
They realized they had to go back to the sphere.
A
Then they had. They have to go to the sphere every weekend now in order to maintain any kind of equilibrium of their dopamine. So I watch the Eagle's Nest live stream. That's just an empty nest that may or may not have an eagle in it at some point.
B
And those are repeatable thrills. Something shows up and leaves.
A
I cannot get enough. It is the only socially acceptable gambling addiction. I'm like, it's today the day. Today the day. And when he does come, it's like. It's like my childhood all over again with my dad.
B
Those websites that let you bet on things that happen, isn't that what the.
A
Green phalluses that were being thrown on the.
B
I think that WNBA field?
A
Yeah, yeah, I do that.
B
I think you should set up an account and put in there, like, the eagle is going to show up on this date.
A
Cut to me throwing a stuffed animal.
B
Put 10 bucks on it, and then a green dildo shows up in the nest.
A
Oh, my gosh. All right. I have to go to Fort Lauderdale. Don't ride elephants. Love you guys.
B
Ra.
Release Date: December 8, 2025
Host: Whitney Cummings
Guest/Co-Host: (Unnamed recurring panelist, “B”)
In this punchy, wildly tangential episode, Whitney Cummings dives into recent pop culture controversies, the Diddy and 50 Cent documentary wars, fame’s warping effects, the legacy and misconduct of musical icons, and the quirks of romantic comedies. Whitney melds comedy with cultural critique, weaving in rants about band names, celebrity scandals, anti-aging obsessions, Finland’s innovations, the reality of dinosaur feathers, and the existential peril of AI—and wraps with playful banter about eagles’ nests, romcom tropes, and responsible fame.
[00:00–04:34]
“He sets his alarm every morning at 4am to be the Michael Jordan of trolling.” (Whitney, 00:22)
“Diddy offered to take him shopping... Like, yeah. No, Diddy, I’m not going to the mall with you. I have a bullet hole in my face.” (Whitney, 01:08)
[02:10–03:32]
“‘I got paid $400.’ And we were all like, nah. Yeah, but you got to be on TV… No, it was like, $400.” (Whitney, 02:42)
[04:34–08:14]
“You can’t lose your temper screaming at someone on the phone in a Von Dutch T-shirt.” (Whitney, 06:33)
[09:09–13:25]
“To be so anti-drinking, while also building a business making alcohol for other people… You might be a psychopath, okay?” (Whitney, 10:30)
[17:59–18:49]
“If a guy shows up at a woman’s work and tries to date her and she keeps saying no, we call it romance.” (Whitney, 18:11)
“The only reason [the John Cusack boombox scene] was hot is because stereos look heavy.” (Whitney, 22:22)
[23:34–30:54]
“We might have to keep musical geniuses in cages or something. That doesn’t sound good, but maybe not cages…” (Whitney, 29:29)
[32:48–35:06]
[39:43–46:44]
“What is the deal with Finland? If you want someone in the United States to do something, just say, ‘Finland does it.’” (Whitney, 40:28)
[46:44–52:08]
“The fact that humans were like, ‘Let’s make them bald.’ Like, all these bald scientists were like, ‘They didn’t have hair.’” (Whitney, 47:47)
“It is the only socially acceptable gambling addiction. I’m like, is today the day?” (Whitney, 53:21)
On Diddy’s lack of strategy:
"He’s dressed like an Olympic sprinter... He’s literally dressed to run from the law at all times." (Whitney, 07:10)
On Finland’s global reputation:
“If you want someone in the United States to do something, just say, Finland does it.” (Whitney, 40:28)
On existential eternal life:
“If you live forever and are in a cryogenic chamber... I don’t know, man.” (Whitney, 28:28)
Whitney Cummings uses the Diddy documentary, celebrity scandals, and rom-com tropes as jumping-off points to lampoon the absurdities of fame, the music industry, and our cultural narratives. Her conversational tangent-hopping style produces a podcast that’s part stand-up, part social commentary. Her sharp wit, willingness to self-expose, and relentless mining of pop culture for sociological meaning characterize this episode, making it an engaging listen even for those unfamiliar with the Diddy discourse—or skeptical about dinosaur feathers.
