Transcript

[A]

Five years ago, the US brought leaders from Israel, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain together to sign the Abraham Accords. I'm Megan Alexander and this is Middle East Tomorrow, go to partners.foxnews.com met. Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. For those of you enjoying this podcast, audio only. I look like Sean Duffy would have me thrown out of an airport if he saw me at 6 in the morning. It's shockingly casual and I didn't realize until I caught a glimpse of myself in the monitor. Jimmy Fayla is here. So Golden Globes were last night.

[B]

Yes, they were.

[A]

I didn't watch them because I wasn't covering them for Daily Mail. I watched football all day.

[B]

Yeah, you did.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You don't have money on the Golden Globes now, you know what I'm saying?

[A]

I'm sure some people do, or at least used to there.

[B]

Yeah, there's a little bit of that going on. But like I said, I was more invested the football just the same. And I just want one qualifier for the people listening to the audio. The idea that Sean Duffy would throw you out of the airport because of your attire and not your alcohol intake in the Delta Lounge, I think is phenomenal. Phenomenal.

[A]

I don't go to the Delta Lounge because they don't open for alcohol until much later than the United Club.

[B]

That's a true story. Do you know when I was flying to San Francisco for. For Thanksgiving, we had a 7am flight. So we got to the Delta lounge at like 5:30.

[A]

Yeah. And it's like 10. They open for booze and it's like, what?

[B]

Wait, who? What? Like, do you. You know how cross country travel works?

[A]

What kind of a judgmental school mom are you?

[B]

I know. Seriously?

[A]

Yes. So if you have a mimosa in the lounge, if you've gotten three hours of sleep, that allows you to sleep the entire flight.

[B]

That's the point of drinking before a cross country flight. Or if you get lonely, knock on the cockpit door. They love that.

[A]

They do.

[B]

If you just need somebody to talk.

[A]

To you and then jostle the handle, that's. That's the universal symbol for. I love pilots.

[B]

Anyway.

[A]

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

[B]

Anyway, what are they gonna do, right? Silly.

[A]

So, Jim, okay, first of all, what did you think of the football? The San Francisco 49ers won. I. It was touch and go. I thought they were gonna lose. It was. It was scary at one point in 1716 and I got so stressed I had to stop watching.

[B]

I loved that game. Save for the fact that their whole team is hurt.

[A]

It is McAffrey and Py problem going to Seattle. I think poor George Kittle was all we had.

[B]

They lose, they lost their, their head cheerleader tore her acl. They were doing the pyramid. She's out now.

[A]

Okay, have you heard. This is crazy, but the, the practice facility is next to a power station.

[B]

Is this real?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Have you heard that someone? So explain this to me. There's some type of electromagnetic thing.

[A]

So there's an electromagnetic force that somehow penetrates the. The tendons. And so they have more like tendon Achilles injuries than any other team in the league by far.

[B]

Really.

[A]

Only since they switch to that facility. And so it's like if I own the San Francisco 49ers and I'm hearing this and I'm seeing the research, seeing the data, I'm going to go, you know what? Maybe we practice somewhere else.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because George Kittle blowing his Achilles, that's just another tendon injury. And you're like, okay, there has to be something to this now. And it is not okay.

[B]

Wow. I. Listen this to me. When I heard about this earlier, I thought this was like one of those videos my brother sends me, you know, like the Blue Jays are videotape and the Yankees from the outfield and they know what pitch is coming. I thought it was one of.

[A]

Pigeons aren't real. They're aliens.

[B]

There's no.

[A]

Sent by the government.

[B]

The government and Israel pigeons after you. So that's what I thought it was.

[A]

Sent them with the space lamp phases and they communicate with their eyes.

[B]

And that is how you get on the View now. Way to go, March. So the point is, when I, when I listen to this, I thought it was far fetched, but their level of injuries is so preposterous. I would also get why someone would believe it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like even if you could disprove this three months from now, the type of injury. I know, I know.

[A]

So I don't, I don't like it. I want them to move. Like, this is so unacceptable. If I were George Kittle, I would, I would file a class action lawsuit.

[B]

Yes. And then I would stop talking about this because it's a slippery slope from the fact factory next to the 49ers practice facility tore your tendon to bush knock down the World Trade Center. This is how it starts.

[A]

I don't believe that. And I don't believe that.

[B]

I know you don't.

[A]

Carroll likes that. And Pete Carroll is the devil.

[B]

Were you so happy Pete Carroll got fired?

[A]

Didn't shed a tear.

[B]

Isn't that amazing?

[A]

Not even a little.

[B]

It's so funny.

[A]

Like, oh, year one and what were you? 2 and 16? You ass hat.

[B]

What's funny is I was just in Vegas for stand up and because the Raiders play there and Pete Carroll is a big name coach. This was his first year of I believe it was going to be a five year deal. Literally every billboard on the way to Allegiance Stadium is Pete Carroll and the Raiders in some form. And the and the campaign is now we can compete again. And I was like, and I was.

[A]

Like for the number one draft spot.

[B]

The Raiders are competing again. I'm like, in what? Roulette?

[C]

What are we.

[B]

What are you competing at? You won two games, so I'm with you. I thought the whole thing was funny.

[A]

So let's go through some of the outfits from the Golden Globes.

[B]

Oh, I love this. Yes.

[A]

And we can decide whether or not they're best or worst dress. I don't know. There is Mr. Wonderful. We both had him on our respective shows quite a bit. Kevin o' Leary with a little bit.

[B]

Of a chain showing.

[A]

I like the chain because I know it's expensive. He's got the two watches.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He's probably wearing $250,000 just in watches alone.

[B]

I was gonna say Mr. Wonderful right there between the suit. I'm gonna tell you about that suit. So that's an off the rack jc. I'm kidding. JC Penny Jay Ferrar. No, I'm kidding. With a coupon. I would say Mr. Wonderful is sporting all in right here.

[A]

I think he looks great.

[B]

300,000 worth of gear, perfectly cut. Suit looks good.

[A]

Former host of the Golden Globe is a Tina Fe. She looks very dumpy like that. Looks like something I would get from alo on the sale rack that I would wear on a flight and think I look like B minus.

[B]

But you got to remember this. You're in Hollywood where they make all the remakes.

[A]

She's got a ton of do.

[B]

They're very woke. I know, but she.

[A]

She has enough money to look fantastic.

[B]

Absolutely. And not like the lesbian Jedi that you're holding in your hand right there. But she's angling to be the next Star Wars.

[A]

Yeah. And I love her, and I love her comedy. A lot of these people. I have not seen a movie this year.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

I have not seen a movie this year. I wanted to. I wanted to see the F1 movie, but it just. It didn't happen. I'm either shooting guns, watching sports, or on a plane.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Fair.

[A]

And I do. I do watch plane movies every once in a while.

[B]

Fair, but not in theater.

[A]

But I don't know who this is. I don't feel bad about not knowing who this is. This is Connor Story. Oh, I think he looks great.

[B]

Yeah, he looks fantastic. Good clean suit.

[A]

He looks like a male model.

[B]

Nothing. That's what I mean.

[A]

If you're the kind that would have ignored me in 1994.

[B]

If you're that good looking, you can show up in a fine cut suit and just look like you don't have to do the razzle dazzle while I show.

[A]

And it looks like it's. It's navy, which I think is extra classy.

[B]

Amen.

[A]

This lady, Chloe Zhao looks like garbage. Horrible bra, the wrong material to wear to an award show because she looks dumpy. It's ill fitting.

[B]

It looks wrinkled.

[A]

She didn't have it tailored. And she doesn't own a steame which if you are nominated for a Golden globe and I don't know if she is, just give up. Like that looks so bad. I think Colman Domingo looks great. He's in Valentino.

[B]

That's a nice clean jacket.

[A]

You would wear that jacket.

[B]

Ride, rock, something like that.

[A]

This would be like conservative jacket.

[B]

I mean, the difference is I'd wear the matching pants. You know, that looks like my overweight.

[A]

I'd wear the matching pants in white with black flowers.

[B]

Yeah, that looks like my overweight figure skater collection. I sign off on that.

[A]

Domingo. Very good. I thought this was Cate Blanchett.

[B]

Stop it.

[A]

It's Jennifer Lawrence.

[B]

Yes, it is. In a. It looks like a. The kind of photo you'd see in a phone hacking.

[A]

Okay, so this is. This is the kind of photo that boys like and chicks are like, ew, I expected better from you. Because the sheer dress moment.

[B]

Yeah, I think that's very JLo.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's about a 20 year old.

[A]

Speaking of which.

[B]

Oh, let me see what she had going.

[A]

Oh, I mean, it's interesting. It's like slutty.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

60 year old eccentric pilates devotee.

[B]

Yeah. You know what it looks like? It looks like the porno begins with her needing help with her computer.

[A]

Mara, our producer, thought she looked like Lola from Shark Tale fair. Yeah. Which I think she looks great. Like I would shiv. I would shiv any executive to look like that.

[B]

Yeah. She's got no magnum.

[A]

She's got a great body, incredible face. Like, it looks like she's finally been lifted. But come on, like we've seen it. It just surprises. This is not surprising at all. This looks like the coke mirror smashed on the floor and she hot glue gunned it to her old prom dress. This is Chase Infinity in Louis Vuitton.

[B]

That's a vibe. What Is that so that you love this?

[A]

So you think she's best dressed?

[B]

No, I think, like, I think it's.

[A]

A cry for help.

[B]

I think she was making a SN snowflake in arts and craft and like turned that into, you know, that pattern, that doily thing that gives you. Yeah. That just looks like a big, A plus sized doily. And she's not plus size, obviously, but for a doily, that would be huge.

[A]

No, it could be cool, but it's just. It's not quite there. I don't like this. And I love him. Glen Powell.

[B]

Wow. You don't like the blue? Or is it the cumberbird?

[A]

Something about him. It's just off trying too hard. It's trying to be ironic. And it could be chic. It could be cool. Like if you have the same kind of tie.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

As Conor Story. I think that'd be like, very sexy. But the, the bow tie with the blue, like, it's too kitschy.

[B]

But factor that into the smile. Okay. And put yourself in the position.

[A]

He's a winner. There's no doubt about it. He's the kind of guy who has to ugly himself up a little bit. And that's what he's doing here is like, I'm so attractive. If I'm too attractive, everyone's going to think I'm gay. Which is fine. It's a compliment.

[B]

Yeah, it's. It's Hollywood. But you may think of that, though, because of his tailor, everybody there now knows who's holding cocaine at the after party. So there's value in that look. There is value.

[A]

Jennifer Goodwin, A G in Armani prive. Barf worthy.

[B]

Yeah. What's going on there? It's like I feel like I'm on my way in to see a fortune teller and I have to push that out of the way. That's. That's from the Madame Ruby collection. It's in the Alamo in the basement.

[A]

It's like if you've got that, that short, choppy pixie cut, then you have to do something extraordinary. And that is like fire your stylist.

[B]

Fair.

[A]

And here we go. This is Bella Ramsey. They them in Prada.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Doing a little fun breast cancer awareness kink.

[B]

Is that what that.

[A]

Yeah, it's like, tie me up, tie me down.

[B]

Yeah. It basically just looks like they're saying she belongs in a straight jacket.

[A]

They belong in a straight jacket.

[B]

How dare you. I apologize for the hurt I've caused.

[A]

Oh, Jim.

[B]

And I should remind you this. This podcast is taking place on Stolen land. We mean no harm.

[A]

We love you all meaning we stole it from Emily Compagno in the true crime podcast True Story. I. I have no desire to watch award shows. So is it that my habits have changed and I used to go see a lot more movies when I had more time, or is it just everyone is like me and when we want to watch something cool, we get recommendations from people at work so we can binge watch Land Man.

[B]

You know what? I think they cheapen the value of content so much because movies are just everywhere now and because of all the streaming services and the proliferation of access in the home, that movies aren't an event anymore. When a movie was coming out, it used to be a big deal. Like, you saw the trailer, then you might have saw one clip at the premiere trailers, they were a huge deal.

[A]

Nothing made you look forward to. I want to see that the next few months of your life and then a good blockbuster trailer.

[B]

And that's where like streaming hurt the actual movie going experience. And I miss that. I love the communal experience of watching a movie with people and folks yelling.

[A]

At the screen with like, margaritas.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Smash burgers in order to get you to a movie.

[B]

Yeah, it's weird. The movie theater now is like a bachelor party. You're gonna like, you're gonna drink. First feedback on you and the guys.

[A]

There's no more Junior Mints and popcorn.

[B]

Now we're long past 15 course meal.

[A]

I'm sorry, is this duck confit sous vide?

[B]

I know. It's too pretentious. It is so. I don't know. Movies need to do better all around. I think it's a multitude of factors.

[A]

Have you ever written a movie?

[B]

Yes. Me and Dean Imperial optioned a few movies that went straight to waste Paper basket. Dina's a real. This is a funny story.

[A]

I know. Dean is like my buddy Dean is.

[B]

He works. Yeah, he works on like major.

[A]

He's got like a major Hollywood player executive producer mogul who loves him.

[B]

He loves him. But do you want a funny story about Dean really quickly? So in about 07, around 2007, a woman who was pretty hooked up in Hollywood, who was like 90, who wanted to sleep with him, gave us the money to make a movie. And rather than doing what we should have done, which is sleep with her and keep it, we attempted to shoot a feature film in 2007. It was called the Ghost of Times Square. And we employed every comic we know, which we didn't know at the time is the worst thing you could ever do. They don't show up on time, they don't know the lines, they don't do anything. And now you're just trying to direct your friends. I can get you a copy of the trailer. It will blow your mind.

[A]

We should screen that and watch it and critique it next Monday.

[B]

Oh, that would be funny.

[A]

Let's do it.

[B]

All right. We'll have a trailer for that.

[A]
