[D]

Kim Kardashian went partying with some friends in New York City when she was around 17. She wasn't very experienced at the time, pretty unfamiliar with New York by 5am.

[E]

Had one in her ass.

[D]

Almost as the action was winding down, she found herself more or less alone at a house party. No money for a cab. All she had was the address of the place where she was staying. Keep in mind, she's before cell phones, Wesley Snipes steps in and says, don't pay your taxes. I'll give you a ride home. But before he took her home, they went out for breakfast and he lectured her and saying, you're way too young to be doing this.

[F]

Oh, my God.

[D]

She credits him with saving her life.

[F]

Saved my life, made me a billionaire. And then I blew him. Because I like it.

[D]

She was. She.

[E]

She blew Wesley Snipes that night.

[D]

Later on down the line.

[F]

No.

[E]

Probably that day.

[F]

You're so nice, I want to bow. Yeah.

[D]

Netflix has a new dating show called Age of Attraction, where contestants don't know each other's ages, which range between 22 and 59.

[E]

Okay, thank God, because this started Pedophile island, started the Jeffrey Epstein game show. Who cares how old they are? Yeah, it's called if There's Grass on the Field, the table.

[D]

The trailer shows kind Of a cougar.

[E]

Yeah. Oh, that's a good. The trailer is pretty neat because the old lady's talking and she thinks the guy she's talking to is like 30 something, but I think he might be 21 or so. Yeah, and her daughter's 29.

[D]

That will start on March 11th.

[E]

It's proof that age is just a.

[Brett Vesely]

Number.

[E]

And it doesn't matter as long as the law says it's okay. The chemistry is chemistry, Brady. That's what they say. Although it can be pretty creepy if you're a dude dating a 70 year old lady. It's also fetishy.

[D]

There's some pretty girls in there, too, in the trailer. Oh, yeah.

[E]

And young girls like older guys a lot of the times. And then someone says, I don't care.

[D]

If it's my father's age, my grandfather's age.

[E]

Yeah, we put a lot of pressure on that. But I also think that when dudes do it with old ladies, it's gross. Something's wrong with that.

[D]

Movie's out this weekend. They got Send Help. That's the one with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'. Brien. And then you got Shelter, Jason Statham's new move.

[F]

Got a new movie up, Brady. I had no idea. Is it good? Of course it is.

[D]

You're playing a former British spy.

[F]

What former British spy? And I have a car, and I go very fast, chasing former British bad guys. It's a good movie. You should see it. Brett, what's stopping you?

[D]

And get your popcorn bucket for Melania. That's out.

[F]

Oh, yeah, I'm in that, too. I was in Melania and then I was in that movie. Birdie told me. I've forgotten the name of the Shelter.

[D]

Evidently.

[E]

What's Melania's movie about? Is it just her life or is it a documentary or. What do we got going on there?

[D]

It says it's about the 20 days leading up to her husband's second inauguration.

[E]

So it's. It's a documentary?

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Man.

[D]

Chronicling that 20 days before. I guess.

[E]

You're gonna see it. You gonna watch? I'm curious.

[D]

I would, but I don't know if I'd go to the theater or not. I'll wait for it to.

[E]

Well, I'm not gonna go to the theater to watch anything. Yeah, but that's an interesting take. Like, how will they handle? And again, love him or hate him, he's. He draws eyes. So if he's in the background of something, I sure could use a blowjob. Like, he's Wandering around the.

[F]

I don't know where Melania went, but I like her. I need her around right now.

[E]

She's doing a dumb movie.

[D]

I will see this one. I don't know when it's coming out, but Apple tv. Siegfried and Roy.

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Wild things. They want to make sure that Peter knows. And actually, Peter will have a. They'll address that during the documentary movie. So it's a Jude Law and Andrew Garfield. I saw pictures of that.

[E]

I didn't know if that was real.

[D]

They're using. They're doing CGI tigers.

[E]

I thought they were doing some Halloween thing and Andrew Garfield and. And Jude Law were dressed up as Siegfried and Roy. And I started to laugh and I'm like. And then. But I thought, I can see a.

[D]

Little bit on the.

[E]

Oh, yeah, it's good. Sigfried over here, right?

[D]

It'll be eight episodes.

[E]

This is when Montacore eats him.

[D]

And the picture of the.

[E]

I know we. This is how weird society was with Siegfried and roy in the 90s. We weren't sure they would talk about women. Sometimes we're like, all right, they're players. We had no idea that those two were gay.

[D]

They were truly illusions.

[E]

And one of. Yeah, they were incredible magicians. One of the things that we were. I remember talking to a friend. They live in the same land, but they each built their own house.

[D]

Little compound.

[E]

And I'm like, why not just live in the same house? They're not gay. Siegfried and Roy are. You ever see them swimming around with the tigers in their pool?

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

Horrifying matter of time is all.

[D]

That was Speedo and a white.

[E]

Oh, they were. And the tigers were. By the way, white tigers are gay. Like, if you saw white tiger in there.

[Brett Vesely]

A little crazy.

[D]

You're, like messing with a redhead.

[E]

I don't know if the sun gets in their eyes wrong. And white tigers lose it. But he ate Roy.

[F]

Wasn't the first time he'd been eating.

[D]

He protected him.

[E]

It's protecting him from heterosexuality. He had intrusive thoughts.

[D]

There's a trend, a new music trend. Cigarette Mom Rock. Oh, think of lilithaire.

[E]

Yuck.

[D]

Key artists include. And there's actually song sets or lists that you can tap into. Cigarette Mom Rock. Alanis Morissette, Melissa Etheridge, Concrete Blonde. She Called Harry, Tracy Chapman, Fiona Apple, the Razor Free Show, Indigo Girls, Pink. And then there's also Divorced Dad Rock, which is post grunge hard rock era. Nickelback and Creed.

[E]

Oh, yeah. What we call Butt Rock.

[D]

Tick Tock has. And Spotify. Has lists devoted to it.

[E]

To divorced dad Rock. Yeah, so you think a divorce.

[D]

Cigarette, Mom?

[E]

Rock leans into Creed after his with arms wide open. I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

My sacrifice.

[E]

I think I just jump at you or bullets. I just jump into something brand new.

[D]

Slash says the next Guns N Roses album will be all new material rather than hold over some Chinese democracy.

[E]

No kidding.

[D]

They've been releasing over the years, but there's no word when I'll be out, man.

[E]

I don't know, maybe just play the hits.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, that's just. Do like Poison.

[D]

Just go out, play the hits.

[E]

And I don't want to hear new Guns N' Roses. I don't want to hear him arguing about it for the next.

[Brett Vesely]

What was that last. Remember that last track they put out.

[E]

The new track, but that was from Chinese Democracy. It was terrible. Axel didn't want it on that album that nobody liked anyway. I thought it was a good record. It was just the hype was way too much.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, you waited 15 years for that.

[E]

Yeah, and it wasn't good enough for that. You expected, you know, an Opus Magnum and it was okay.

[Brett Vesely]

Expect Dark side of the Moon or something.

[E]

It was good. It was better than. It's better than people. It wasn't 15 years good. No, it shouldn't have taken that long. I could have come up with an album in 15 years. I could learn to play all the instruments.

[D]

It was no Happy Gilmore too.

[E]

No, that was. That was a thought provoking, moving piece of cinema. Oh, what a movie. God, that was bad. It's 9:20. His wife dies by getting hit by an errant golf ball. And in the next scene, he's on the driving range hitting golf balls at people. You think that would have been something. That would have been like, Happy's over hitting. It can end badly.

[D]

And is he hitting golf balls at bad Bonnie?

[E]

Yeah, he has bad. Bony is driving around and he's in there and he's hitting him. Your wife just passed away from this very thing, you son of a bitch. And we're supposed to believe you're emotional about it?

[F]

Happy, I just want to hiccup outside.

[E]

We're getting. We're about to see the Bad Bunny halftime show next week. Getting close.

[D]

Oh yeah.

[E]

A lot of 50 year old dudes are about to erupt. Why isn't AC DC doing the halftime show? God damn it.

[Brett Vesely]

Relax, Katero, call ice.

[E]

All of them. Metallica, AC dc. Jesus Christ. Guns n Roses. What's a Bad Bunny? Exactly? Oh, they're going to drag out some people. They're not going to be happy with. We got the Guadalupe Squares coming up. You want to play? We need a girl, we need a boy. And we'll close the week out with the squares. 5, 8, 5 9. 800. That's the number we need. What are we giving away? Something good. We don't even know. We'll give you something great. We promise. Play those squares and get us out of here. It's 98.

[D]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool actually. No membership fee.

[E]

I have heard enough of.
