But first, let's get to the prefix your weekly pop culture roundup. Listeners June June continues to bust out all over. Happy Pride. Happy Pride, Christopher. Happy Pride, Dominic . You know, Tectonic news . Tect onic news. We've lost track of the amount of DM's begging , offering bribes to find out what our well teased big news is today. I hope you're ready for it. Are you That's it. Here it is . Sean Penn has announced he will no longer be taking selfies, including, and I quote with holocaust survivors and the disabled . Oh my god . Now that's not our news, but that's a real story that we're going to be talking about is news. It is news. It's not news , but it is news. Jesus Christ and the world. We'll do this one more time. Here is our big news Fixing famous people is expanding . We will now be coming to you twice a week on Wednesday Friday, we have given birth bitch. We're so excited to do this as well. With a twist. Oh, it is a twist. It is a twist. On Wednesdays, the episode that's dropping is gonna be an expanded version of the prefix that you've come to know and love. And the second, shall we say third of that Wednesday episode will be new reviews and recaps that people have been asking us to do for . This means that now every week on Friday , you'll be getting a separate episode that is an expanded version of the f ix that you've come to know and love, where we fix a famous person hence the title of our podcast, which will have new little format elements that we're not going to tell you about now that you're going to love . And so we're sort of calling it a fix it Friday and we haven't come up with anything clever for. We will. Or you guys will and we'll steal it. Yeah, we will. So we're super excited. So every week on Wednesday , all prefix and then reviews and recaps. And then on Friday , that's the fix . And we know that the alacarte usually drops on Friday. And so because of this, we are going to be moving the alacart to Thurs days . So you're getting Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from these two right here. And if you are a Patreon or an Apple subscriber , your material will remain unchanged, just because there's going to be more free material does not mean that your paid material will suffer. In fact, it's probably gonna be sexier than ever. And if you're in the ten dollar tier or the twenty dollars tier, you're getting something on Mondays most of the time or at least half of the time . And so you're getting something Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We're giving you Tuesday to just rest because you'll need it. You'll need it. Mostly 'cause our voices can be grading after day forty five in a row. Although some of you are insane and say you love them, which I got to start dating those people, actually everyone who avoids me, that's like their number one problem . So we are we are evolving. That's all I can say. We are evolving and we're so happy to do so. We're so happy that so many of you have asked for us to evolve and we have been approached by many people and mentors and fans who have said, why are you doing this once a week? And we just said, well, we don't know. And so now we're doing it more. We've also hit the limit of like what we can cram into one episode, I feel, you know what I mean? ' Lreike bust weing at the seams and it needs to we need to just we can't be doing two hour episodes every week so instead we're going to do two one hour episodes for your pleasure and that is not that is not just where it ends . Jesus Christ , oop , I had it on repeat. Fixing famous people will be doing its first live with an audience taping of the podcast in New York City on september fifteenth. We hope that it will be the first of many live and in person audience intended podcasts . Can we announce the special guest that's going to be with us or is it too premature? I think it's a little bit too premature. They've already had so much. So it is it is No it big's a one. No it's a big one and there might be some surprise guests as well but we're really really excited and so as soon as the deal gets go on sale for that we will like you know we will let you know tickets will be on sale over the summer. It will be at Green Room forty two here in New York. Yes, we already have locations for other cities standing by. We just want to make sure that this one in New York goes well, which works. We know well . And of course, it will go well if you all come. So please come and we'll give you more details about it shortly. And PS, this our expansion is starting in July because thank you , although the two hundred and fifty , you know, anniversary of the countries like that music festival that was gonna happen is falling apart . We needed to do something ourselves. That was really the impetus for all of these gifts that we're giving . We felt so bad that the country wouldn't be able to celebrate its birthday with the likes of Bret Michaels and Vanilla Ice that we said , Lord, shall we give them a second hour? And the Lord said, Yes , because the Lord is, of course, share on this podcast. We have one more little tidbit as well that comes from you guys asking us why we don't do this and now we're going to be doing it. This summer we, will be joining cameo and we will be able to at your request make better or worse the lives of the loved ones and mainly words. I'm sure worse. And also don't even , I already feel the people like thinking of the most diabolical stuff that they're going to try to pay us. And I'm just like, I am already nervous . Do it. Do you know someone who won't come out of the closet? Let us drag them out. Let us send them a message and say , Michael , your friend Belinda knows that you suck cock. This is the message to say, get out of that door. It's time. Take the lube off your hand so you can get the doorbell working properly and just kick it open, bitch . So we'll see you on Wednesdays and Friday for free and then on Mondays and Thursdays for not. Is that correct? Christopher? My dad is absolute ly correct . And we'll be live starting september fifteenth. If you want to come see us, meet us in person, and whoever our special guests and surprise guests will be . And we'll be joining cameo. This is phase two of fixing famous . It really is, it really is phase two . Oh, Christopher, you know what I'm worried about the most? Do you think that we will reach our threshold with each other through this expansion? No, I think we'll fight much. You think so I feel that we're I feel that you and I are good about like all right bye, you know what I mean? Like I feel like we're good at we are if we do reach the threshold we'll sometimes I get nervous because I am I am a phone caller with Chris. I'm more of a voice call than a voice memo or a texture. And I don't know that you're all aware that Chris answers the phone in varying degrees of seduction. Like he doesn't answer the phone like a likeike Hello , it's not. Like I picked up the phone and I'm like, hi, every time Chris answers the phone, give us, give us more examples. Hello , hello . It's I'm like, are you always asleep with your hand in between your thigh s I know 'cause when I'm at home in silence, I'm sedued. Like subdued sedu. What a seduce. You're seduced about subdued is what I am. That was a combination of seduced, abused probably . Are you making an announcement? I don't know or not. Should I send you breaking my silence? Wait, speaking of did you see the Karama? Sorry not to immediately go to this do you see Karama has that like that AI app that's like supposed to be like you calling him and talking to him and all kept doing this doing the same beginning part over and over he's like Hi it's Kramo. This is a safe space like what's on your heart when they're like host karma like what are you doing? Like how are you? And he goes Hi,, it's Caramo. What is on your heart? Like AI Caramo broke down and someone on the internet called it fifty times and recorded it every time breaking . That's what I've ever gotten. Was it ever not broken to begin with? Caramo also is now detailing the work he's had done on his face two years after screaming he had no work done on his face. We're going to leap over that. I can't do it. I can't even pretend to be more not. We got to get off Caramo. So anyway, that's our big announcement. Thank you for your patience. We just wanted to make sure we got all of our ducks in a row. We are super excited. Like Christopher said, all this begins on july first where we will have our super sized prefix. We'll rename whatever that is. And then Jess Rothsteld will be joining us for the first stand alone fix , which is of Helen Hunt. And that's coming to you on Friday, july third. And you shouldn't miss that episode because Jess Rothschild is basically begging to be put in a home because of a fandom . You got Helen already I 'm not already I've never seen someone love Helen Hunt this much . You're not ready for it. It's truly . We have a lot of good episodes coming up as well. We've been taping, we've been recording our asses off in time for this summer and in time for this expansion today, we are fixing Jonathan Taylor Thomas, teen hunk , Jonathan Taylor Thomas with corporate with Beck with Becca Corpor ate. That's right. That's right. So stay tuned for that. But right now it's just time for our regular old prefix . Now it's just us ladies. Let me tell you what it's also if you guys want to submit things for us to review and watch like watch and review and talk about let, us know. Damas. And please, like , I want to make sure the things that you're submitting are fierce. Don't people's choice awards me with this and introduce me to entertainment that I'm like, What is this? I'm not rewarding it with our time. I would love if someone asks us to review something you know that we've never seen. No one write us about NFL games. We won't think it's funny. No, no one will. Any actually I'm sort of laughing at that, but any of you want, just bring it here. But we are super excited. I'm also excited to live in New York during the month of June, and I cannot shut up about this on Instagram . World Cup, the Knicks , gay pride, Puerto Rican day parade. Madonna pops up like every forty eight hours to give a free fucking concert somewhere. Yeah, for like no reason at all. She was she's been at Macy's. She was in Times Square . Lot Macy's. She was at Macy's. She joined Honey DiJon was spinning at Macy's and Madonna, she's on Madonna's new album and Madonna just showed up and they started cutting a rug. It was at the perfume counter? I don't know . Appliances. I don't know where they do their events at Macy's. I definitely avoid Macy's three hundred sixty five days a year. Yeah. And yes. Yeah, yeah. A store, you know that shopping at all is my nightmare. Hi. Understandably , a store that is a full city block long and humongous and a menace. It is purgatory to me. Every time I'm in Macy's, I look at the sky and I say, why did you bring me here? I know I'm being tested. Wait, I didn't even tell you this when Rebecca and me and Hassan went to go meet Lauren Minster at the Duplex on Friday. We went then we were walking to go get dinner and we walked by not the Menace Restaurant Ulio and Pew or whatever the fuck that's going on. that But other one that's's like the it like brick everywhere, not the one we went to, not Mirandi, but there's another one that's like open all the time and has all the tables outside and it was menace behavior and we all were standing there going, this restaurant is a menace and screaming at all the people outs ide. We're huge fans. If you don't know what we're talking about, when we're in a restaurant in New York that we don't think deserves an outdoor cafe or that they can't control the line getting into their indoor cafe. We will stand outside the restaurant and scream that it is a medicine and doesn't belong in New York City. We have to protect our own. We have to protect our sanity here. Yeah . Speaking of sanity , I did see the premiere of Madonna's little short film for confessions to her appearance. She was interviewed by Anderson Cooper at the Beacon Theater this past Friday night. It was great. You can look at the short film. It's really an extended music video. You can look at it on YouTube now. It'd be there on Monday. And it is fierce. It is vintage Madonna. There are lasers coming out of women's huhs. And I'll just leave with you should watch it. Lasers . Freaking sharks with freaking lasers who knows other guy too. The green lasers coming out of the Hughes are a little reminiscent of JL's waiting for tonight back in two thousand Dominik. Wolf Klitzer, my best friend, was seated next to me and the moment the green lasers started coming out, we looked at each other and went, una Note Mas ly, that was that was all we thought of. That was all we thought of Jaylo. That said, it's great. Madonna Breeze we were in the front row because Wolf Klitzer gets the best tickets. No one knows how . But she paraded in front of the whole theater on her way to her seat in row ten to watch the film with us, seated with her gorgeous boyfriend, all of her gorgeous children, most of them, and the even more gorgeous Debbie Mazar. And Radonna brushed past us, we're able to smell her. She just smelled like royalty. It's the only way to describe it. And her faux fur jacket brushed against Wolf Klitzer and I, it was a magical wow moment. And then she gave an interview, which I think is available online through Tribec and Film Festival. She just talked about her beginnings in New York and a lot of that story, that part of Madonna's story is on the Confessions II album, particularly in a song and video called Dancatyteria, which is where she used to hang out and where she debuted the song Burning Up at the beginning of her career . And it's good. And all the music that's coming from Confessions II sounds so good . Wolf Klitzer is a giant Madonna fan and every day , maybe thrice daily talks about how fantastic the rollout for this music has been. And the reason we're getting music, by the way, according to Madonna , is that she was waiting for the biopic to come together and it didn't. And then she was waiting for this Netflix series to come together and it didn't. So through all these delays, she looked at her team and was like, let's fucking dance music. What am I doing? I'm like See, that's what I like. Don't wait for these fucking people. No, so she's getting your shit together. You know what I mean? And that's that. The other big story this week, of course, I mean , if you're a certain kind of person is the Tony Awards hosted by who I think we can now introduce as a megastar pink. Hosted by Pink We're on Sunday night and this is how good I thought the Tony Awards were . I feel like it's one of those things that it was so universally good that I don't understand reading reviews. New York Post, I'm looking at you. You know , don't I'm sure they were like like they're they were like this like pink host actual disgusting night was blamab y on that they tried to be even like more earnest about it and say lackluster pink hosts lackluster Tony in's disaster Broadway season. Broadway made more money this year than any year in recorded history. There wasn't anything lackluster about it. And if you watch the performances on the Tony Awards, are do we still have a dearth of new musicals . Yes, we always do because it's very expensive to put them on, but Broadway itself was great this year. And Pink is like no she really she's a dad plus like yeah unbelievableable belief job . She appeared in like ten numbers . She appeared in a number to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Chicago, did the music, they just hang on the jazz out of nowhere for no reason, for no reason . Descend it from the ceiling in the beginning, that did me the first minute made me a little nervous 'cause yeah, I was she's like nervous. Doing her aerials and then Neil Patrick Which was fun but Neil Patrick Harris came out and then that was upsetting. Yeah, we were we were a little bit nervous. So yeah but it was a great night. Death of a salesman won the most awards with six, even though John Lithgow won best actor rather than Nathan Lane , Ragtime was also a big winner at one best revival . They've extended until the middle of August, by the way, if you have not seen ragtime. I have I would need to go. I'm sure I'm going to pay. I'm sure I'm going to like blood is going to come out of my e yes whenever I play put ass, but it's a two hander meaning it's like it is a two act ual musical it's a great old American musical musical you know so good. Yeah, I want you to go. Casey Levy and Joshua Henry won lead actress and actor as well . And I cannot say enough about it. It's fantastic. And you know, Cats Nejelica Ball won as well of, several award s. They've extended to twenty twenty seven. So in the words of the great Rosie O'Donnell, come to New York, see a show. Please. Hottest ticket. Hottest ticket on Broadway is Jollica Ball I'm telling you. If you want joy, if you need joy , go. It is so and you will not regret it. Joy and ass well. You get joy, you get ding Everyone is served here. Rum Tum Tugger in Deed . I tug her. I tugged it. Jellico Count, Jellico Count. Do you follow Rum Tum Tugger by the way? Yeah, I followed like all of them. I DM's all of them. I was like, I'm obsessed with all of you. They were like, you're weird. I was like, okay Harcourt is Rum Tum Tucker's name and I gave him I talked about him like three times now. I've googled his age, which I won't reveal here and I will tell you it made me feel horrible about myself. Yeah, it should. He's not older than me but, he's closer than you might think. And he 's hot as fucking fantastic. And I will say that rag time number when they were all like going around the stage and like they were in the little groups. I was like, oh, this is like, this is a Broadway show. You know what I mean? When they're like people were pissed. There were queens online that were like it's not as good as the actual show and they're right, but no one knows no one who hasn't seen it knows that like at the actual Lincoln Center Theater , that majestic number that gave you chills, they have like a rotating stage of course I'm sure it's an exponentially like, but it still looked good on the Tony Awards. Like that commentary there that I was just saying that people were like,, o washn't as good. It's like, then don't then don't watch it . Like don't watch the Tony Awards if you don't want to just be entertained. It's so much better than every other award show. The Tony Awards is the absolute best because you're not just getting sho e horned musical numbers because Billy Eylish decided to sing a Bond song and we have to sit through it and Jelly Roll doing the in memorium or whatever . Although I will say I was nervous, I was an eyebrow was raised for Leslie Omn Jr. Singing without You from Rend for the Memorial , but he did a great job. Good. A great job. He killed it. Like it was like a highlight. He did great. And he looked great too. I was like, Dan iel and he's a great singer, as we all know. Oh yeah, Tony Winner, of course . Yeah. The other big news of the night, of course, was that Rosie O'Donnell attended the Tony's and debuted her facelift on American television and I for one think that she looks great. She does look like she just did a different person at all. I didn't see her at all. Oh, you must go if you click on that link you'll be able to see it. Yeah . She looked like Rosie from fifteen years ago. She did what a facelift is supposed to do. It made her look younger and it didn't make it look like there were two dwarves in her wig holding her cheeks back in a knot. She looked good. She said it cost s more than a car. I would think it was worth the money. Oh, she looks great. She looks great . She doesn't it helps that she put on one stitch of makeup, like one say your stitch. She put on several stitches. She loves to put like these pictures where she like looks like she just like got out of like a wind machine. She did . Yeah, you know what I mean? She didn't give herself but she stopped at the facelift, still missing a top lip. Apparently that, doesn't bother her as much as I know, but I mean, we can only do so much. Just put it in there. I mean, you're already I'm feeling good about this. Yeah, she looks she looks absolutely fantastic. Speaking of Broadway, let's frame this in a way speaking of drama. Yes. Yeah, a drama desk. Yeah. SpongeBob square clip got dumped by Ariana Grande . We found out it happened many months ago. They're just letting everyone know. People are shocked and I'm like, why? How ? Like they've probably been split up this entire calendar year is really I said the minute that the wicked press store was over, she literally blocked his phone number and then just went on with her life and said thank you next. How are you going to date someone who's got a song called Thank You Next? Why would anyone put themselves? That's like getting a tattoo of someone you're dating on your face. It's not gonna work. It's not gonna work out. It's sure not going to work. She sings the song about breaking up with people. You're better off with Taylor Swift to be honest with you . Truly. Speaking of, you know what, that wasn't even an intentional segue, and I am ready. Taylor Swift and Kelsey Grammer are getting married at Madison Square Garden. I know everyone is saying this can't be true. There's no Dominic No one has said no, it's being run in every draw like Pulitzer Prize winning newspapers are trying to explain they've decided their camp has remained silent. I need to hear something from these people. I know because I wonder I wonder this isn't just like a random rumor that's gone out of control. Like there's there's a plot here and I just don't know what it is yet. So that makes sense. A hundred percent, the only thing I can guess is that they've leaked this information on purpose because it sounds so ridiculous . And then they'll pop up july fourth and be like, we got married at a Chipotle three months ago or something or she's gonna be like, Oh, come to my wedding , but it's a concert or something. Do you know what I mean? Like something , something. No one no one anywhere is coming forward to disprove it. So they've either pulled the best sting operation that we've seen in pop culture or they're getting married at Madison Square Garden. It's so ridiculous I wanted to be true. There's no way but I just don't I can't believe it. Even if it happens, I still won't believe it. Well, they haven't invited twenty thousand people. Supposedly, they've invited a thousand , but how what do you do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you do rope Robert? She called a thousand. Remember, she had to call everyone. She called a thousand people. What else is she doing? What has she got going on? Well, she didn't know the date of Tory Story. Do we know the date or no? We don't, we don't. 'Cause what real lunatics are going to do is like see what if Madison Square Garden is available on the date of the war? I'm sure people will be camping out there. That's a security risk in my opinion. It wasn't very fun this week with the president being here. No, it shouldn't you please name Dear God? Like President Trump, thank you for like A making the Nix lose , B turning the island of Manhattan into a nightmare for twelve hours and C falling asleep at the fucking game. Like what are you so fat? I can't good. See the pictures of him. Good. Yeah, I did. I did. Oh my god. Good. By good, I mean, enjoy your meals, eat, keep doing it. Anyway, I don't even want to talk about him, but yeah, anyway. Speaking of fat, George Santos is under investigation again . You know what? I don't even I can't even remember Fat. God forgive me. I apologize for that. It was just too easy. He's under investigation for alleged insider trading. I don't know the company. I don't know the details. And quite frankly, I don't want to. Knowing that George Santos is the professional criminal that we have always said he is enough for me. In a crazy world, knowing that this queen is still committing crimes makes me feel safe if I like it. Yeah, I know I'm looking at the picture of him where he's walking and I'm just like, yep, there he is. And unlike Rosie O'Donnell, George Santos has gotten his lips done and does so regularly. And good for you. It's rough. A return to prison for George Santos would be a watershed moment for the year twenty twenty six, I think. Would it even? Yes , yeah. It would be a return to normal as far as I'm concerned. Wait, so what is happening? He's doing insider trading, no God. What? Something yeah, financial crimes. I'll never yet. No, I get it. But like he like was trying to sell some. God knows what and he knew that they'd bubble whatever. Speaking of crimes let',s go over to hate crimes . I can't even deal with this . Hudson Williams , who is, of course, the star of heated rivalry , a photo from his teen ,er litally his teen years popped up and there's a swastika on his face. Now it's part of some sort of tradition where it's something in high school in the town he grew up in Canada where everyone draws sharpie on each other's faces and you don't know what they've drawn because you're not allowed to look in a mirror and fifteen years later here we are. Someone who did take the pictures released it and until the photo was released , Hudson did not even know that there was a swastika on his face . And when I tell you that he said and did every right thing within thirty seconds of seeing this photo thank God crumpled it up as a little piece of tissue and threw it away. So you might be wondering, well, then why are you talking about it? Well, because it's about heated rivalry. That's why we're talking about it. Don't ask me that again. Hudson Williams is not antisemitic is the point of the story in case you've heard otherwise . This is a broadcast that helps celebrities, folks. That's why we're called fixing famous people . And someone who we're going to be and Chris, you said, it's the third time ever that we're doing this, right? Where we fixed third time . We refixed Meghan Markle and astronaut Katie Perry, right? We did them twice. Correct, corre ct. We are now going to , over the summer, be re fixing Lizo . Lizzo released a new album recently. Lizzo whose last two albums each won multiple Grammy Awards , including Record of the Year. Like this is this is a major artist. This was this is and was a major artist who be it through scandal or circumstance or what have you is now this week , it's being questioned on the Reddits of the X's of the World, what happened to Lizo's fan base because she has released an album that she had previously complained about was not getting enough support from the record company. So she was it called wheat pasting? She was on Sunset Boulevard, we pasting the excuse me. Where you it's called that's like where you went right and you like put it on the thing yeah like again like a looney Tunes cartoon where they're like, did you think? Yeah. Did you think it was a sex act or something? I don't know. I saw Lizzo wheat pasting on sunset. It was disgusting. That's what they saw in that club in Thailand or whatever it was They were wheat pasted all right. That's why she got sued. That's what Katie Perry did to that dancer's face, right? That the Australia, she wheat pasted her. That was pretty gross. Leave it in. Anyway, her album's coming and people are saying on X, why doesn't she have a career? And Lizo has now started answering these people. Tony, don't the first mistake . Don't I mean, we're not celebrities and we don't respond to the comments . Lizzo does and she's saying I can actually answer this, Fam , it's the explanation she gives that brings her back to the fixing famous people arena because people are calling bullshit and we're going to sus it all out for you in about a month . Lizo said, I don't have a career anymore because I was a radio girly and in the past three years everything's changed over to streaming . Literally not in the past that's not the timeline. And now people are busting her busting her balls because they're like, yeah, no one was listening to music on Spotify before twenty twenty three and they're just dragging her, but you know, the real reasons are the scandal has affected her career in ways that apparently she didn't think they would. And we have to have an in depth discussion about the quality of the music on the new CD because really it's not and by CD I, mean album or whatever we're calling it, it's different . She's not a hitmaker anymore. And we're hoping she hasn't peached. We don't think she has because she's unbelievably talented, but someone needs surgery. We're not looking for positivity music right now in the world. You think that's the reason why? No, but I'm just saying like her songs like of like I love myself and I'm so happy. It's like the world is falling down around us. Like we need like her to be angry about that. That's a good album . Someone I haven't listened to one bar of the music so I could be wrong, but like listen to two songs more of her more of her like , you know, her brand. It's like, that's not in right now. Someone described the music and the reason that she was such a hit, particularly during COVID as out of work corporate lady positivity while you're trying to survive COVID music. Yeah, correct . Could be it. I mean there were bangers in there. I danced so many bangers in and out of the home. Blame it on the juice, blame it, blame it on the juice, whatever that means even the slow that was it, juice. And even the slower songs two albums were great. Yeah. The song Jerome , Jerome Home , take your ass home is a girl. On her first before like Truth Hurts blew up. She had that one DP that was like, Where's the hell my phone? How am I supposed to get home? Where's the hell my phone? It was like a dumb stupid song but like it was so funny. But so catchy. No, she made hits. She made hits and she's not with this current one. So we're going to do a little unpacking. And also, I thought that the lawsuits were over, but I did two minutes of research today and there are there are some outstanding lawsuits. And we reported here that some of the accusations against her were thrown out of court, but not all . So that story is unfolding . Speaking of unfolding , Spencer Pratt will no longer be in contention to be the Mayor of Los Angeles, California. Oh is an awesome god. He reigns from heaven above with her . Stone power and love. Our God is an awesome gold look at God Motherfuckin' God . I mean, have you ever seen someone's fortunes change so quickly? Look, we all, including you world, thought that he was going to be the mayor, but Los Angeles said no he's not . And the night of the prim ary last week it really seemed like he was going to be in second place so he could be in a runoff in November , but he's not he is not in third place . So current Los Angeles may Korare,n B ass will be competing against Nithi Raman, a progressive candidate. So no Spencer Pratt, certain people in higher office immediately jumped on it and said, This is rigged. And it's like, no, it's not nobody really wants Spencer Pratt to hold public office . That's not a rig. That's common sense . We're here to talk about Jennifer Lynn Lopez for a minute. Several stories, I might add. She has a sledgehammer and she's swinging it around is what she's doing. There is first of all the movie. I miss her. I missed her. I haven't seen the movie. Have you watched them episode? I haven't, but my first roommate that I ever had that was also my first boss on TV that lived in this apartment before me and I like took over her lease basically. We were roommates for like a couple years. You would text me the other day and I was like, I need to watch office romance with you. And I was like, yes, you do. So we're gonna watch it in the next couple of weeks. I only know one person who's seen it and that person's review was just the single word preposterous. Yeah , which I'm fine with. My second question was preposter ous like the way all rom coms are or and he said no, just preposterous in a how dare you make this? And promote it with the zeal and verve with which you've been promoting it and then serve us this. I know that but's why come on. No chemistry is what I'm hearing. Like Her and Brett Goldstein have no hemistry. Okay , I'm sorry in advance to what for what I am about to say right now . He is so hot. He's beautiful. He's absolutely gorgeous. He loves to write. Like he's an artist. I like him that much. When I see him on camera, like specifically in , what is that show, Ted Lasso that he got famous off of very it was very like he's very like reserved like two reserved like so I think he's a reserved I can see him like a very wooden performance I, feel that he gives . So I can see him and her having no chemistry at all. And he wrote this for her movie, for her. Yeah , and himself so that they could bang. While promoting the chem noistry preposterous office romance , Jennifer Lynn Lopez said on Subway takes this week that you cannot call yourself a real New Yorker unless you were born here . Well , that did not gain her. No, it sure didn't. Any popularity votes from the majority of people who live in New York City who were not born here. Christopher, what is your when is someone a real New Yorker The guy says to her when I moved here at this time, X , right ? The New Yorkers all said ten years. And I remember hearing that. You know what I mean? And I remember hearing that as ten years . And so I don't know. And also like what ever. Yeah, I mean, you don't get any trial. You don't get financial benefit from it. It is just like, but there are people who were born elsewhere who have lived here for forty years and are just giving her the finger online. They'd be like, yeah, I don't think so. Which is it's especially funny for many reasons. A, Jennifer Lopez has lived in Los Angeles for a billion years, like the majority of her adult life . And B , all you think about is her going to the Bronx and telling people, hi, I used to come here and the guy saying fuck you. Who are you? She goes, Jennifer, he goes Orange drink, all the all the orange drinks. It's a hair thing when she's like, this reminds me when I was like in the Bronx running down the street. I remember when her and her hair was all like frizzed up. They were Atlas. m Iniddle school schools. Your middle chum said that you weren't. They don't think you're a real New Yorker. She I think she did this on purpose to cause backlash. There's no way she thought that she was going to say that and not have it explored. It's controversial. It is controversial . If she tells me she's shocked that everyone's upset, I would be like, you're a liar. So Jennifer Lopez was on Watch What Happens Live . She went actually , she's been promoting this movie, Watch What Happens Live, Subway takes at least seven Chipotle's in the tri state area. I'm sure she's going to Mall of America. She'll probably be hosting something on Fox News at this point. She can't stop talking about it. But when she went on Watch What Happens live. She told a story that made my clip pop off. It is I don't know. I don't know if I know this . Andy, I think a viewer wrote in and asked her to comment on it and Andy said, Is it true it was Jennifer Lopez not Christina Aguilera who was to appear on stage with Madonna and Brittany Spears at the two thousand three MTV music awards in the number that included the infamous historic kissing of Madonna and Brittany and Christina. JLo confirmed it. She said, I went to Madonna's house. We talked about it, but unfortunately , as it got closer, I was filming a movie called Shall We Dance and they would not let me out of it. Yeah, with Richard Ger, right? I don't know who was in that, but I think it's Richard Gere. Yeah. It feels a little bullshitty to me. I don't know why . You know what? Because why wouldn't they let her out to do that and then she could promote the movie? I don't know. And I was looking at her because this is the thing about Jennifer Lopez . She's a good actress , but she's a great in terviews. Yeah . Yeah, I knew yeah, hustlers and she's hustlers and out of sight. She as'ides great in both of those, but she gives interview bites like she , she's a she's she is hospital. Just like her native New York real New Yorker thing, you know what I mean? She's in interviews. I wasn't a hundred percent sure that she was locked in to do it. But she did say I was at Madonna's house. She brought up the kiss like it was always a part of the number and she was like yeah no one thought anything. So can you imagine Madonna having kissed because she did kiss Christina also, which doesn't get as much like as it wasn't on camera, but can you imagine Madonna kissing Jennifer Lopez and having that burned into our pop culture minds? But it was on camera, wasn't it? I don't know. The British show was just as bad was worse. Yeah, yeah. The Britney version is much more than Christina, right? But you know, because MTV was more concerned with cutting away to Justin Timberlake than they were to show Madonna is and Christina. That was the problem . That's why we didn't see it. Right. But like, Brittany and Christina make way more sense than like Brittany and Jay Lo , right, right? Yeah. Like that's weird. That's why I'm all right. Brittany and Christine are like the two like second comings of Madonna that are like she's then like passing the torture and through a locking of the lips. You know what I mean? That's why I'm calling bullshit. I think they found that Christina was available and they were like, Jalo, you know what? This just makes it just makes your tear said you can't do it. So you should just yeah , yeah. And that was that. Yeah, I bet you. By the way, Leslie Manville, a wonderful actress who just won best lead actress in a life . Legend , Odipus , since we're speaking about Brett Goldstein, she's going to be playing his mother in an upcoming project for Prime Video called Escorted, where he apparently plays a single dad who accidentally starts becoming a male escort. And Leslie Manville will play Brett Goldstein's mother. Love everything I'm hearing about that except for time. I just, I'm not like a promotion viewer mostly because of Lauren Sanche, astronaut, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, but I will make sure my my membership is active to watch that. Shilah Buff has quietly pled guilty to battery counts from the Mardi Gras incident that we that we remember from last year actually. Like this wasn't even this Mardi Gras. I think it was no it was this year. I forgot. God, February seems like such a long time ago. I thought that those that Mardi Gras where he like lost his mind was in twenty twenty five. It was in fact just three months ago. No, was what this year? No, it was this year . Yeah . And he pled guilty. Will he serve jail time? No, he's famous. We don't serve I hope I wish you need to You need to have made inappropriate sexual contact with at least fifty people in order to even be considered for jail as a celebrity. So he didn't do that. Yes. When he does, he'll go to jail. So he can just terrorize people on the street and make physical contact with them and then continue to roam the streets . Speaking of douchebags, we come to the king of that sect. Sean Penn has said he will no longer be taking selfies for any reason , including for holocaust survivors the disabled. Why would you why say that? Because he's Sean Penn and is unglued at all times . A spokesperson for all disabled people and survivors of the Holocaust rele ased the following statement. No one wanted one asshole, not a single fucking person. People are scared of your I mean ? Like definition of sun damage . Definitely face sponsored by Coach, the No Lad company like they've done not even coach like fucking Wilson's leather it's giving leather face from Chainsaw Massacre at true. That's why he didn't show up to accept that third Oscar. People were afraid we thought he would think he was the crypt keeper . Goodbye Champne. You know what, though? I mean, I hope that this gives birth to a group of people who follow Shawn Penn just trying to take selfie's breath. I'd be like, please, yeah, and he's like, get away from me . Shawn Penn's really trying it. You want to know who else is really trying it? We won't spend too much time on this story because it's so dark and I hate talking about it. Nick Reiner , who is Rob Reiner's son, who, of course, murdered his parents last year , is demanding access to his one point five million dollars trust fund to pay for the defense that he needs for killing his parents Not oh God . I don't want to say what's on my mind but I hope I hope Nick Reiner gets the fate he deserves that's all I not need I access to my trust fund so I can hire a lawyer to defend me from murdering my own parents. Exactly. It's not the richest the most American people not anyone else America that's the United States of America . they Yeah'll, probably let them f ucking do it. He has we're here next week. He's got Johnny Cochrane, or whoever the Johnny Cochrane. Representing. Johnny Cochrane's ghost or maybe the actual Johnny Cochrane. Yeah So it is yes, Johnny Cochrane is deceased for some time. I think for some time . I think the whole defense team is deceased now. Like they've all sort of the OJ defense team, they've all sort of met their fates. The one guy is still alive because he's in every one of those documentaries and he's like, I was doing the right thing. Oh God, the DNA guy, right? He was the young white dude with brown hair. He's way younger, yeah, than the rest of 'em. You know, June means a lot of things, proms, summertime . It also means a lot of graduations . And I swear to God every time I turned a corner this week , a broken up celebrity couple was at their child's graduation and being force fed to me through Instagram . Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonay got back together because they have a daughter named Lola who is graduating high school . Jason Sudekis and Olivia Wilde together. One of their kids, I believe, graduated middle school . Halle Berry and her ex Gabriel or Gabrielle Aubrey remember him. It was a very for years contentious custody battle over their daughter who has now graduated. Apparently, they did not speak to each other or sit next to each other at the graduation . And Knox Jolie, formerly Knox Jolie Pitt, he also graduated this week , but his father did not attend that graduation certificate because he doesn't talk to any of his children. So Angie represented while Knox and his single mom celebrated his achievement. While we're here and while I have said her name, I fell down a bit of a Lisa Bonnet wormhole. I'm not saying Lisa Bonay needs fixing . I don't think she'd ever need fixing. I want to see more of her . And what a charmed celebrity life. First of all , I don't know how old she is now. I'm not gonna ask, I know she's around my age. She is impossibly beautiful Lisa . And I'm just like, you are the most popular kid on one of the most popular sitcoms of the era, like that's usually enough for someone in a lifetime . But then to marry Lenny Kravitz and Jason Momoa and have impossibly beautiful children with both of them and remain ageless . We need more Lisa Bonnet out front. Like I need I need her to be front burner. I don't know, how do we from acting like yeah because she's like, I don't need to do this. I can just be rich and like be cool and like bang Linny Kravitz and have like the hottest child ever to exist. Do you know what I mean? And kids, Jason Moir are equally as hot by the way. It's like for the she's like being a celebrities for the birds. Like I did that already. You know what I mean? I think is like the most like powerful thing ever. Maybe her other children will marry the other members of one direction. Just keep it like just keep it going . Just get it going . Yeah, why not? Well, Kathy H ilton was to be the grand marshal of the West Hollywood Pride Festival parade that was this past weekend . How are the people? The gays got mad. They were like, I hear your fucking mind. Isn't it well documented from Erica Jane and Lisa Rinna that she liberally used the F slur and is a Trump voter and all these things? And whether or not you agree with whether or not she qualified to be Grand Marshall. It doesn't matter because they removed her. Kyle Richards, her sister has come to Kathy Hilton's defense. I don't honestly think Kathy Hilton's going to be terribly damaged by this. No, I think she 's still going to the people who liked her are still going to like her . It was a very strange choice West Hollywood pride. It just was . It's annoying when it's it should be a queer person. I'm sorry. Like it should it not be. I'm sorry you are one hundred percent right this isn't like it's like Hollywood you have to throw a rock and you have like a famous gay person that lives there. I don't even necessarily think this is not like the argument about like pink's never been on Broadway she should,n't host the Tom. This is not all this. It's a different celebration. It's a completely different moment. Kyle Richards is defending her. Some people are saying she's defending Cathy a lot better than she has ever defended her sister, Kim on Real Households Bever atly Hills, but Kathy Hot Take Really quick, no tagging. Like every time someone fights with Kyle on that show Kathy's right next to them and is like, Oh my god, you're like so upset. Like Kathy loves when Kyle's getting like wrecked like but from all sides, like Kathy's right there with all those people wrecking her and she they're like, oh, you're upset. Like tell me why my sister's the con yeah anyway we're in a bit of a bravo section here during the prefix today Andy Cohen , known gay Lesario has met the love of his life. Apparently, he's his boyfriend's name is Kevin. I believe he's in finance. He went public on his podcast this week because they were photographed leaving Vikarata in the West Village holding hands and people said, wait a minute . And so he said they've moved slowly and methodically. They met july fourth at a friend's july fourth party out in the Hamptons and it was very sweet. It was a very sweet side of Andy and he was telling John Hill on the podcast I found my person. I can't believe it. And he sounded like he was getting choked up and he said, This man loves my children and my children love him. And it was forgetting. Lovely kids. That is very different. But it's very different when you're dating what I mean? It's like a single parent, you know ? Sure. The number of people that texted me there was this. They were like, who is this? And I was like, I don't fucking know why would I do that? He's not a celebrity. He's not but also people rich. People think that we like text Andy every day, you know what I mean? Because they've worked on Bravo shows and I'm like, that just simply is happening. Interclue. But congratulations. I mean, look , if Andy Gohn's finding the love of his life at fifty eight , there's hope. So can 't seek, right? I was gonna say Dominic Puba, but yeah so can you see that? We can tell the two of us apart anyway, really. Truly , when I met her and I said, You don't know me at all, but Dominic Pupa is my podcast coast, she said get your, phone out right now and start making a video . And then she the video was, where the fuck are you, bitch? And then she when the episode airs, I will post it, but it's yeah . I love Kim. I have not spoken to her in quite some time . I've not spoken to her since most of the divorce business started going down, but it continues to be very nasty, unfortunately. She and Croy have a slew of kids and according to Kim , Croy is intimate with his lady friends in the room next door to the kids or in close proximity and she's going public and put it in court papers. I know kind of kind of gross. I didn't get to know as well as I know Kim even when I was down there producing John Tardy, but I will say that I've seen pictures of Kim son's cash and cade . And when I tell you that these boys are thirteen and fifteen and they are, I think that's their ages. I could be wrong . They are giant , like they are , they look so much like Croy and they are built is the phrase brick shit house still okay to say Towering over their mother in a way that you would look at these boys and think that they are in their mid twenties , they're giants. That has nothing to do with whether or not their dad is having sex in the room next door to them, which would be unfortunate. Speaking of unfortunate, do I even want to talk about this? Something comes across our desk. While in Italy, Amanda was videotaped spitting in West's mouth at a meal, feeding each other bird stuff. I don't want to, I don't want to talk about that's disgusting. So we've said it. And so we're going to have a new element on the show where one of us tells the other a story and the other is repulsive. Yeah. You're forced to Google it. So everyone pull over and google Amanda Spitz in West 's mouth. We'll wait here for ten minutes while the cars whisp by you. Also, Kyle, another fallout victim of the summer house infidelity scandal, is now hooking up with someone from Southern Charm. I can't I can't keep track of when bravo people from two bravo shows I don't watch when they start fucking I'm out. I'm on my porch like Clint Eastwood and Grand Torino Saint All for the It's all to stay in the stay in the Zeitgeist the whole thing all over. I mean they're like the Bachelor universe like everyone's fucking each other. You're not going to remember how everyone knew it was But it so that they can get a little story out there and they can get a little something , you know what I mean? They're they well, they're getting it. They sure are . While we're in the Bravo verse, Brandy Glenville's parasite is unfortunately bad . She thought it was from a breast implant. It still could very well be from there, but she thought that it was gone . And she said, My face is caving in again and I don't know what to do. And she appeals on social media all the time if anyone knows anything about parasites or knows a doctor, can you just please have them reach out to me? These pictures that they put up of her are a. Her face looks like it's in it looks it looks like something that is like borderline , not repairable . You know, like it's very correct. It's very botched. It's very niptok. It's very , what are we supposed to do? It just looks like the muscles in her face have collapsed. And she's just, there's too much that has gone on and now it's like we're at where we are are we where we are, you know what I mean? And like I can't help by serving three dinner courses of like any injectable known to man, which is not to say you shouldn't do them, but like everything you put in or on your body, you just run a risk. And she is really going through it . Yeah. Chris, as we celebrate baby, our podcast in its fourth year, finally expanding . We celebrate one of the people we fixed on our very first episode, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Schmuckers , her daughter Lilibet has turned five years old and she has what she's been doing the past few years as she'll just post the back of her children on Instagram . Lilibet's got some red UK hair rock in there. Beautiful , beautiful hair, like panteen level commercial hair. Yeah. I'm sure the kids will be models at some point, but I can't wait to see what these kids look like from the front because they're adorable. God, that sounded really like disgusting, but I just want to know what they look like . Yes. Once you can see that once they grow up and they can see them. Yeah . Well, you know that Jackie that was on a forthcoming bonus episode on Patreon, she mailed me some apricot spread that I just got the other day. And so I might I might celebrate Lilibet's fifth birthday with some jam. And reason the I got up ear lier, look see this eye , doesn't it look the way it's lit and the way I'm looking at it, it looks like it's like half closed, but it's not. That's why I got up to look in the mirror. The way the light's bouncing off, it looks like is it closed? What's going on? Am I having fun? Oh no, oh no. Oh, there's nothing wrong with my eye. It's just the light. Okay, we're going to move on . No explanation from this from any of the royal family. Maybe Christin Meinser or someone who knows better, but Prince Andrew appeared in public today and he's got a giant bruise on the side of his face . No explanation. We're all hoping someone beat the shit out of this pattern like that truly want. So truly if it's not true, why don't you just tell us that? Luckily Ham Palace. Yeah, they'll they'll allege all these other things. Just allege that . Lauren Michael's won I did not know Loraurens M wasich aa prodelucer of the Broadway musical Schmigod , but he won a Tony for Best Musical when Schmigodon won that Tony just a few days ago . And in all the press, I came across this recent interview that Bowen Yang did where he talked about Lauren himself calling Bowen because Bowen as you know left when did he leave SNL it was this past December, right? Yes because Sherri and Ariana Grande were on he didn't want to do the season at all Lauren himself , I love any sort of behind the scenes when it comes to Saturday night live. It's always fascinating to me. Lauren himself called Bowen and was like, this isn't a good time. Please do half the se ason because we have a lot of new people and I need you to help share there to like and Bowen sort of begrudgingly did it, but he was because he was like this is the first time that this king of all kings like needed the help of someone below him. So I was like, fuck yeah, I'll I'll stay for a couple of months and and did it. But the thing the, I mean, I love that story. I think it's a delicious story, but the other news is like Bowen really wanted out. He was really done. And apparently everyone knew that he was done. It just wasn't his just wasn't his thing anymore . You really don't know. I mean, we know how grueling it is, but as a comic, you say to yourself, you don't leave that show no matter what. They can be killing your family members and you say, Okay, do I have a sketch in next week's episode? Bowen says, No, that's unrealistic. I just grew tired of it . Yeah . And he said too, it's like I was always the like flavor. Like I was always doing something crazy whereas like I wanted to just be like a random person in a sketch and they always like he felt like he had to perform a lot . He was doing a lot of heavy lifting. Yeah, he was one of the stars. He was one of the stars . You know, Kate McKinnon was the same Ashley Padilla, who is this season's breakout of the newbie breakout, Ash Pleyadilla, I don't have all the information in front of me, but they there was a release this morning that she's going to be appearing in a in a romcom. Like her, she's not that she's she's been the breakout for literally ten seconds and now they're already giving her all this work to take her off the show. Let her bake a little bit . Let her be like let her get to the wonder why Iceberg level like Bowen was. Like let's let's see some iconic like don't push it. I know I wonder yeah, weird.

Like if you want like me and Dominic but like someone that knows what they're fucking talking about to like explain the ticket master drama, this is who you're going to right now. Correct . Yeah, so corporate gossip is it's kind of like TMZ for business. It's business news for bravo lovers, we call it. And sure like, I love gossip, I love mess, but I'm also CP a . And so I've kind of combined these two things to bring you corporate gossip. And yeah, we talk about all the billionaires you I wouldn't say love to hate that you just hate to hate Larry Ellsen and Sam Altman and we don't necessarily talk about the business of it all. We talk about I mean we do a little bit. You'll learn something when you listen to this podcast, but we more so talk about their personal lives, which are just as messy as like any summer house vanderpump rules, which of course I love, but it's at that level of mess. And I think we need to talk about it more . A hundred percent . Yeah. Because guess what a lot of what bravo, especially in reality shows are is a distraction from the horrors , the horrors that are coming on in the world, which sometimes we need very much, but like sometimes it's like, I'm like, okay, like stop being obsessed with Amanda Batoula and be obsessed with like data centers like the environment. You know what I mean? Yeah. But I will say your podcast is one of the ones that like when I, it's like late at night and I'm just like, I've read too much news. Like, it really is so calming. Your podcast is such a like a bomb to me. And is that calming? Yeah, it is to. me And I will tell you what. Subject matter is your mentally ill is what I'm saying. Chris will not our entire lives never would anyone call our voices balmy. Absolutely. ever We think you're a lunatic and thank you. That's very nice. That's very nice, thank you . That's very nice. But yeah, no, corporate people do not sleep on it. I mean, everyone, I mean, you guys, they know. Go now. You heard it here. I mean, millions of others have already heard it, but you heard it here. They know they know . Anyhow , we are here today to fix Jonathan Taylor Thomas . What made you pick JT from the list that you were shown? I was shocked he was still on the list. I mean chokehold this boy at the time had millennials in the early mid nineties. I mean he was I'd say up there with like in terms of people that just occupied so much space in my eight year old mind, like him, Leo , the guy from Brink , Eric Vander. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a writer strong, just that like very baby fighting with that. Yeah, you know. And I just I'm always wondering like what happens with him? Where is he? Yeah . So that's I there was a curiosity of yeah checking in on him. Yeah, I mean , he is actually not an actor anymore, but he stands guard outside the motel room where they're holding Shelley Miss Cabbage. That's his actual job. That's why you literally him. You never see him he's in Aruba on a yacht outside state room . In the Sea Org yeah, he's in the sea org. Sea org that fail . God . Well, we're at the point in our broadcast where we play the middle name game, which is where we ask our guest, Becca and our co host, Christopher Michael Dorosa to guess the middle name of the person that we are fixing. However , Jonathan Taylor Thomas sort of spoils that game , but we'll give you the information anyway just for posterity. Real name Jonathan Taylor Weiss . So I did try to think of, should we guess the last name, but that's Needle in a haystack. He was born september eighth, nineteen eighty one. He is forty four years old and he is he is no, he's a Virgo. What is it? Virgo if he's september eighth, september that's his birirthday. Vgo. Oh, that's your partner's birthday. Yes. Wow. nineteen eighty one. No, no, no, no, no, no, okay. And Jonathan Taylor Weiss was born in Bethlehem , Pennsylvania home state of Christopher Derosa. Yes . Having nothing to do with his birth, he attended Harvard and Columbia and the University of St. Andrews . So take it like on because he was famous . Like there I feel like yes and also why Bob. I mean, like he's got to be a little bit smart if he even wants to do all of it. Yeah. Didn't Mary Kate and Ashley didn,'t they go to Harvard or maybe they went to Columbia or like there's a child star to Harvard? I read to Harvard. No, they amount of housewives who go to Harvard they don't go back . They're in school . Yeah, like, we got a lot of housewives have a master's in Columbia. It's a one year program and anything for a variety of things from actually these people are too identifiable. I won't say what their degrees are We can't do Jonathan Taylor Thomas because we already know that it's Taylor . So what do we do? Well , since JTT, one of his biggest roles was playing young Simba, we go to adult Simba and we're going gu toess the middle name for one, Matthew Brodrick today . Matthew Brodrick born march twenty first , nineteen sixty two . So he is a he's a Pisces Aries cusp. I don't know which one he is. I think Pisces though, right? It depends. March twenty one . So he is sixty four years old. He was born in New York , New York. Oh, I love that. Who else was recently born in New York New York? Oh, Lucy Lou, Lucy was born in yeah . So that's all the information you have. Matthew and Brodrick are his legal birth certificate names . I had no idea he 's older Simba in the line. Robert is Simba in Lycan. Oh yes. I didn't know that. Oh yes. original version. nineteen ninety nine. Jonathan Taylor Thomas is a young Simba and then Matthew Broderick is Simba. Yeah. I'm glad you got that education today. What is Matthew Brett? Now this is it's a five on the getability scale . It is it is a a it's difficult it's a niche first name that could also serve as a last name. I've heard it as a last name before and it fits it fits him I was going to say William I was. going to say William , but William is not a five . So I think it's I think it's Scott. Okay . I was gonna say Walter . No . Good guesses, though, that Walter just threw God, you don't hear Walter much anymore. No, that's a great ass. Matthew Dexter Broadwick. Oh my no . You should have said this is a little territory and I would have gotten it right away. You know, Becca's right. I should that was like a two or a three actually. But I almost was like, I was gonna say it's something geeky that you can get . Anyway, that's it. But I master Rodreck. You really don't hear that anymore. Until we fix you . Goodbye. So here we are now at Jonathan Taylor Thomas . Now, I'd say what was the thing . I mean, I think we all know what the thing was. Like he was on home improvement and then he was Simba. These are to me his two greatest claims of fames, but you guys are the age where you would have had childhood crushes on him because you're around this well , you're younger than he is, but you would have known him more than I do. What do you remember him from anything else other than home improvement and the like ? Go for it. Well so home improvement to me is like a very boy sitcom. So that was never appealed to me. And like Tim Allen also just never appealed to me . So for me, it was Man of the House with Chevy Chase and Farrah Fawcett, who I just loved him in that and I loved him in I'll Be Home for Christmas, which I forgot co starred Jessica Beal. So those are my two favorite movies. I've probably seen Man of the House a million times. And then another Disney movie called Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer Tom and Huck, or Huck and Tom Huck? Yes . And Brad Renfro was the other would whichever one JT was, Brad Renfro was the other one. One was Tom and one was H ug. Yeah . And that one that was I loved that. I'll never forget when I saw him watching his own funeral. And I had no concept of that as a little kid that like you could possibly do that. And I was like, oh, I want that. Like I watch my own fake my own death and hear what everybody has to say about me. And that was like a core memory. Well, Ban of the House was big because it's Chevy Chase and I do remember that movie. It's not as big as like other ones of that same genre , but it was a big movie. And it was like he, here's the thing he was perfectly the exact of like the heartthrob kid in the nineties. Like I'm looking at his INDB and it's like the picture that is like the main picture of him on his INDB is like blonde hair, nice jaw, blue eyes , sp iked up a little bit, but kind of messy and like handsome and like not that he is wouldn't today you would see that man would be like he's so handsome, but it's just like so nineties. The look is so nineties and he was a little kid , was so cute . And when I tell you like all my older cousins that were girls were like, I remember them sending into like some fan club where then they would send you like a signed photo of him. It's the only poster I ever had of another human being on my wall was Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Yes, like the heart throbbiness of it. Dominic, like for you, like Joey Lawrence Level. Sure. Or like every Millenn ial kid. And I was always confused by that because in the nineties, I knew who he was and I knew I knew home improvement, I knew Lyon Kang. And I was always confused because I thought I think when home improvement started I was still, a minor, believe it or not. And I was always confused about the JT love because I thought that the other one of the other brothers was hotter, even when I was a young claw. I thought I don't even want to say his name because he's grown up to be a felon basically and an abuser of women. So I'm not going to say his name, but the other guy at home improvement I thought was hotter. And I was always confused why JTT got all the all the heat. I guess he was the middle one. So corn fed yeah and he was just cute. The other one was a little like Odoyo rules for me if that makes sense . But like he was cute and he was the nice one and he wasn't the little one who was always getting in trouble. Like he was like the middle that was like yeah just everything it was just the perfect storm of cuteness. He had this cute voice too that was like it was kind of high pitched and he had Baliage highlights not ball . He like basically did though actually . I mean, home improvement was a humongous show. You know what I mean? For what for what it's worth yes, Tim Tim Allen's annoying, but like, even still to this day, like there will be people that go like , you know, like the thing that he used to do when it was like the power tools and all that stuff . And even like the neighbor still all the time, like the neighbor that would like look over the Wilson Wilson would look over the like the fence fence. Was that what it is a fence? No, there's a lot of iconic. Yeah, no, there's a lot of iconic things about that show. Wasn't Pam , who was the tool time girl? Was it Anna Nicole or was it Pam Anderson? It was Pam Anderson . Yeah . So there's like a lot of a lot of iconic things came from that show. I just wasn't a fan of it because like Becca said it was a boy it was a boy. It was a boy show. It was. But it was in that middle class block, like that and Roseanne, like these were all like giant shows back then. But funny enough, it was like the only boy one of those shows. Everyone else like think about it, full house, girl was kind of a girl show. Yeah . What was the other thing you just said? Roseanne kind of a girl show. You know what I mean? Like it is like the boyish version because there was no there was like the siblings were old boys and then it was tools so they really hit the they really hit the basic elements. They really did. Also, Dominic, when home improvement was on, like, he was Jonathan Taylor Thomas was like too much of a child and you were too much of an adult. I think he was cute. No, that's why I preface it with when home improvement started , I was also a minor. He's listening back to the tape . I know but still, but like still. You know what I mean? Like no , I could tell which one was the sexy one when we're all children. You know exactly what it was. Woman beater. Yeah, that one. Okay, great. Yeah, well, 'cause you know, I kind of want him to beat the shit out of me even back then, but I didn't know he would make a career out of it for God's sake. Stay off women. His name is we're just gonna call him CTP. Literally I don I' dont' event even know. know what his name is. Zachary Tyrian is right. I knew 'cause he was he was a cute one. He then is Simba, the young Simba in The Lion King, which is probably one of the biggest movies of all time, in my opinion. Yep. Huge . And like he did other stuff. I'm weirdly as I'm going through time to be, I'm like, wait, he has other things on here. Like guest spots, smallville, yeah, alley, Mobile, other shit. What else did he did a voice on the Simpsons? He was on eight simple rules for three episodes . God, I love that . I know you did. I know you did. I never really got I never saw it enough, but I feel like I should. My mom and I watch ed it. And I remember whenever he died. When he died, we watched the episode. Like, I remember it being he died . And then it was like his son, was his son on the show with him? Am I making that up? Jason Ritter. I can't remember. Remember what I mean? That was like a cult, I didn't watch Asmble Rules, but that was a cultural moment. I watched that episode. That was probably I would be not surprised. John Ritter episode of that year of television . Wait, Katie Segal is in this. Oh my god. Yeah, she oh yeah, she was like forget I'm forgetting that David she was in on the show. Yeah Kayleigh Cuquo was in it . Yep went I think she's the teenage daughter, isn't she? She's Kaylie Foco's the teenage daughter. Yeah. Yeah, her and older Ritter are like king and queen of sitcom. Like he kind of passed the torch to her in terms of, you know sitcom royalty. Yeah. Yeah. So he's in April Rules. Then he does a quick swing through Veronica Mars and the last thing he's seen doing is a television show called Last Man Standing that he appe ared in four episodes of , but that was twenty thirteen to twenty fifteen. So that's where it was. Isn't that Tim Allen Show? Yes. Yeah. Oh, Jesus, you're right. God. So I watched some YouTube clips of that where he kind of shows up and he's one of the character's bosses and he meets Tim Allen and Tim Allen's like, You look familiar and they kind of do that a couple of different times and he's like, I don't know where you would have known me from. And I think he directed one of those episodes too, I saw. Huh ? Because he that's what he does now, basically, he lives a quiet , he lives in L. A., he lives a quiet life and supposedly he just like does occasional writing and direct ing . But you know, Tom the Wiki, it's not occasional . This is the thing though. It's like for how famous he was on home improvement and like how obsessed everyone was with him . Like, I do not see that translating to more roles . But he from what I know voluntarily left show business. It wasn't for lack of work. And that's part of his lore. Like Simba left young Simba left Hollywood. Like he had the biggest movie one of the biggest movies in the century could like hit TV show , hit movie. I mean another hit movie with Chevy and Ferra, but then he sort of hit all of it and then had his film. I mean, I'm just going to go to Ivy League Universities now for the rest of my life . If you look at that IMDV, probably for a child actor he's, got to be one of the most in demand child actors of the nineties . Like his schedule is probably back to back to back. Yeah, I can't imagine like just the toll and not only that but also being a heart throb and being like in your early teens and having all these girls all over the world. It's like the Justin Bieber effect. It's like you're sexualized from such a young age by people who are appropriate, but like, it's still got to be weird. That's still got to mess with you to an extent for your child. Light out of here. Yeah. He was such a heart throb, which like, yeah, he probably got so fucked up from that too. Yeah. He was like, I'm a child. Well, maybe why are these little women mailing them? Mailing me their panties. Like, you know what I mean? Like something disgusting Or maybe he's not fucked up from it. Maybe he knew that it was bad news and he was like, I don't think this is a good idea. I wish he would give and I'm not trying to do a fix right now, but like I would love in an interview. It part's of his mystery. It's part of his mystery is why he left. Like it's part of his sort of folklore. Like I was saying, he's known as the guy that left . He could probably write his own check. He could probably do whatever the fuck he wants. But also, especially now whenever it's like we know so much now about what was going on at this time. I bet you he has so many stories of me. And then this person tried to fluck me. Oh my gosh. This other results, you know what I mean? Like he . I know, I wouldn't be surprised at all. And I'm curious, like, parents , he's not a Nepo baby, right? That's what I don't know. I almost wonder if he was getting wanted to get like emancipated from his parents. Yeah, that I always wonder with hugely successful child stars like that , sometimes it's like helpful to be a Nepo baby because you're almost a little bit protected and they like what's going on. Yeah. And I think a lot of parents whose dad parents have just regular jobs, you're vulnerable because everything seems so new and like, oh my god, this is only going to happen one time and who knows how long Jonathan Taylor Thomas is going to, you know, be so in demand . I don't know. I bet you're not in that bone navy because they born in Bethlehem , I don't know. That's true. His mother was a personal manager and social worker and his father was an industrial sales manager. Those both sound like Bethlehem Pennsylvania . He has a Pennsylvania name. Central Pennsylvania . Yes. But maybe he got out in time. Maybe he knew, you know, maybe he was just like, this isn't I'm sure every child actor sees shit that makes them a little more adult than they should be . So even if he was n't a victim, he certainly saw enough as a kid where he could have made the decision like I think I think I'm good . When he was kind of like in a he kind of was in like a Dakota fanning situation where it's like he was like playing opposite these adults. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Like not in home improvement, but like then in like Man of the House and like all these other like movies that I'm seeing do, it's like him and Chevy Chase are the two like he's like almost being billed as much like what's his name? Haley Joel Osman. Osman. You're a child and like Dakota Fanning and like Man on fire, where it's like, where it's like both of those are like horrific movies. And then this man in the house is like a comedy where he's like but like it's like him being billed as like a star next to like a humongous movie star kind of a thing where it's like they're prepping him to kind of be that and like I wonder if he was like, I don't want to do this. So much pressure. I mean, all and it's also Disney too. And you know, they're like a child star factory. So I'm sure the amount of pressure that he was feeling like, okay, then he does, I'll be home for Christmas. It's a huge Christmas product . And he's he's on the front of it. Yeah. And I just I just like vividly remember that was looking fan clubs and like all that kind of stuff and like all those like teen beat movies like not teen beat movies, but the teen beat like magazines and like all that kind of stuff. Like he was always on the cover of those like not teen vogue that I'm trying to think of not like Tiger Beat but like I feel like Tiger Beats like too old. It's like the whatever came after Tiger Beat he was on the cover of every single one of those every week. Like there was fan clubs. There was again, I remividly remember. It's one of my first memories is like remembering my cousin like opening up like the envelope that was like, here's a letter that he wrote you, but it was just like obviously like a letter he sent to everyone. And then like a headshot of him that is signed with like gold Sharpie that was like his signature quote unquote. Oh, I'm certain I had like a lunch pail and a thermos that had his face on it . I just put in the chat the last time that he was photographed. He was walking his dogs and it was in twenty twenty one. So that was the last time he did. So that's five years ago that was he was photographed in public. And that had been the first time that he was photographed in almost eight years . So I person ally, I'm looking at him. I do not think I would know that it was JT BI to him in Lyon the Deli , but I do think maybe not strikingly he does look like a middle aged Val Kilmer to me in these photographs like a little bit. If you told me he was Val Kilmer, I'd I'd believe that , which is not a bad person to look like, particularly middle aged Valkilmer. He man level Val Kilmer. Yeah, he doesn't look bad. He's got a neck. He doesn't have a he doesn't look he doesn't look traumatized. I'll say no he's walking he's just vaping and he's walking his dogs. I don't love the vape hanging out of his mouth while he's walking that doesn't it doesn't't I don feel good about it, but maybe it's way worse . It could be way worse. He's wearing a COVID mask and did you see he's got it around his chin because it was right in the middle of COVID suck sucked on that vape. He's like, finally, no one's going to be outside my house waiting at the paparazzi because it's COVID and then he got walks outside and this is what happened . So I don't know how that works, but like with the TMZ of it all, what do you mean like the last time you were photographed? The last time you was seen in public in eight years? Like did he move somewhere? No it just means it just means no one's followed him basically. It's like he hasn't gone to anything or gotten anyone's attention . Right. They mean like no one from the magazines has seen him in eight years. They don't mean that he's never left his house like they 're not Shelly Miss Savage right . They want you to believe that. Like they want you to believe that it's that no one he hasn't left his house in eight years, but it's the popular equivalent taking a picture of them in eight years. It's the equivalent of breaking my silence. It's that in visual form. I guess my question is why in twenty twenty one? Like, 'cause if I were a photographer, I wouldn't, like you said, like, I would never pick him out as Jonathan Taylor Thomas. So was it just somebody who was like, oh shit, that's Jay T. It was my guess that was someone. It was a freelancer which is there on every block in LA and it was probably someone who just knew that it was him sure and took some photos because he was out in public and then called TMZ and said, Boom. Or any photo service and just gave them the shot or honestly, he called at them up one day and was like, I'll give you ten thousand dollars. Like, will you give me ten thousand dollars? I'm so excited. They were like, okay, yeah. Well, that's what I'm wondering. Like was there you grubbed me some White Castle if I give you photos of me walking my teeth grub me castle. Goodbye. I've thought of that literally because I have the New York Post website up, which is what I'm giving you this information from and one of the four thousand ads that I have to wade through to get to what I want is from Group of Plus. Yeah , which I will never get because you advertise on New York Post. And let me tell you why I'm not . Well, in this article, it says I'd been going nonstop since I was eight years old. I wanted to go to school to travel and have a bit of a break. He once said, according to us weekly, to sit in a big library amongst books and students. That was pretty cool. It was a novel experience for me. Okay, but like so he wanted like have a normal life, which I get 'cause he he grew up not having a normal life . Right. So he was like, I want to like go to school and be a person. Oh, that you know who you're thinking of? It's didn't Natalie Portman go to like Harvard like on her own and like she actually get a degree and like yeah and she was like actually just like want to be a student by and so she did that like in the middle of filming all these movies. But like she wanted to do that but I'm like, okay, so then like what did you do after do you just have a job as an IT person? Like what's happening? Yeah. It's interesting because later down here there's also another part about him talking about his fan base and the fan club. So this is from New York Times, which I can skim through, but he talks about you're a part of their life, the fan club and there's a lot that's owed to them, but it's difficult because you want to make everyone happy. But if you try to do that, you're setting yourself up for failure. So I don't know what he's referencing there, but I'm sure he had some bad experiences. The problem with all of the fixes that are going through my head right now is that he won't do any of them . Like so clearly just wants to be left alone and it's like in order in order to get a good fix in there, we have to pretty much violate everything wants to do in his life right now. We just want him back. We don't he doesn't need fixing. We just want him back playing with , you know , I know what Chris is going to do know I what Chris is's fix going to be, so I'm going to stay away from it. I don't think it wasn't going to be my fix. I don't think you do. Maybe I don't. The thing that's funny is that like when you go to Google him and it's like if you Google Jonathan Taylor Thomas the first, picture that comes up where he sees glasses and like a plaid shirt. Like he still looks hot as fuck . He does He's still handsome. And then even this most recent picture of him from like this year, I think , he doesn't look bad, but like , I don't know, he keeps he's holding what I think is an energy drink and I'm like, What are you doing? Christopher. You know what I mean? I'm just like, you know, I'm just like, you're having a problem with everyone's life accessories today. It's just like not, I don't know. Let the man vape. He's been through a lot. I got he's millionaired with empty hands. There's this other part I just thought you might find this interesting. In this New York Times article, they talked to his man ager and I guess his height is a big issue. According in nineteen ninety seven, he was five foot three and his manager said short kids have an advantage, but short adults don't Yeah And so and then he also talks about taking breaks from actors like child stars like Jodie Foster and Ron Howard to go to college. And then he talks about doing edgier material because that's what seems to get respected. So those are a couple of other things to add to the lore there. Do you think that's why I'm not famous because I'm five four? That's got to be the only reason Yep. Dominic. That's why. Depends if things went down for you down for miss Mystery solved. Thank you. The mystery solved, Dominic. Yeah, if only you were five to eight, then you would have been so famous. You wouldn't have to do this box? But even like, I found some random Instagram called JT Archive, which is a great name. There's like scans of old magazines. And again, like he's like a little kid and they have him in like this like three piece suit and he's like looking at you like he wants to like take you to the dance . Like usually very sexualized as a child, which I like , which like now in twenty twenty things were like, ah no, like a do you know what I mean? That just like is not good. And even like one of the pictures is a Jonathan Taylor Thomas sixteen month nineteen ninety nine calendar And it's like sixteen months . He's so hot they added four months to the year. I don't have any pictures to choose from . PS the person that's joining this is Mentally. It's like, here's the fun fact if you still have the nineteen ninety nine calendar can actually be used in twenty twenty one, I'm like, no stop. Like stop , I have I have one idea only that is he will never do it, but I can't I won't pitch another idea than this . I want Jonathan Taylor Thomas to take over and oh Mary. No, I do not actually Yes. I don't he just had an I just fished it for somebody else . Actually would be super can you can imagine if they be there in a heartbeat for sure , but that is not my pitch. What else do we have to say? It's crazy because it's like it's sort of like an abbreviated episode because he hasn't done much. There's not much to talk about . There's just the mystery of and what everyone that I found when I was looking him up, which was apparently him and Tim Allen don't have a good relationship anymore because I guess he left home improvement halfway through the seventh season and didn't like remember this? Yeah . it' Sos not only that he quit acting when he was done and he was like, the roles aren't really coming up in anymore. I'm not getting these edgier roles. Like maybe I'm not physically growing as much as I thought I would. It's like he must have had some experience where he was like, I'm out. I'm done. I'm leaving in the middle of the season, which is crazy for this biggest, one of the biggest sitcoms of the nineties and he's a title role and just to leave. And I don't know what happened with the writers. Like I don't know how they wrote him out. I'm sure fans of home and I can't. I don't remember. I'm not gonna lie to you. I don't remember how they did it. But I mean, that's when you really know that they're serious about it because they're like, I'm in the middle of making so much money off of this and I'm like out of here. You don't know, yeah, right. Yeah, he or his parents took him out. Yeah, they were like, you're done. They're like, Tim Allen has screamed at you enough times like years ago. Yeah , but he went back to do that last man, that last man standing show though afterward,s , I bet he was like, wouldn't this be great? Just do it with me. And he was like, okay, fine. And it was just like a fact check. In the second episode of season eight , Randy Taylor was left for Costa Rica , with the character's interest in environmentalism being the narrative reason for his move. JT left the show at sixteen to focus on his education , wanting to take a break from acting and attend university , which caused some tension with producers and cast members. Oh, I bet, oh my gosh. That's coming from Tess. Tess is my AI assistant. I just read the Lena Dunnan book and like getting all the inside scoop on like an injunue who's who's like , you know, has this huge show. And I can't imagine the producers probably like, you know, showed up at his house , begging him to come back. When he's like one hundred percent the star of the show. You know what I mean? It's like he was like the breakout star of the whole show. So it's like, I have so much respect for people when they're like, I'm in the middle of doing like I'm in the white hot peak and I'm like, No, I'm good. I actually don't want to do this anymore by you know what I mean? Which like means that they really don't give the fuck . It's true. It's like one of the most badass things you could do, like the confidence in yourself and like also like just wanting to protect yourself at that age with that much going on. And just being like, this is for the birds. Like I don't care about this. You know what I mean? Fan club, like cool, anyway. I'm gonna go study philosophy at Columbia . Yeah . When he was a kid, he went on Conan O'Brien and said I just wanted to go back to school to go to football games on the weekend and that kind of stuff. Yeah, he just wanted to be a regular kid. And that's probably why we haven't seen him like getting in a fight and like screaming racial slurs at people, like many of like, you know, so many child stars we see do that or like they're like on the drugs on the side of the street and we realize it's a child star. You know what I mean? Like seemingly the worst thing he does is vape and drink energy drinks. So I mean there's a world in which he is Leonardo DiCaprio, but there's also a world in which he is that other guy that you were just talking about, you know, like there are really two paths. And he really doesn't want to be Leonardo DiCaprio clearly. If he's leaving the show that made him the household name? I wonder if he's in those pictures if he has a wedding ring, if he's married, if he has kids. I don't know is let's find out. None of the articles say that he is married. Yeah, I think also found online one more . I love that this has turned into like some sort of investigation . Yeah, I do like it. I do like it. Because you Beckett you know that we do absolutely zero research before we love doing it with you guys. We're like pitting things. Okay, no wedding ring . Columbia . Someone commented the other day. They're like, don't you guys research before the show? And I was like, No, we say it every episode that we do now research. It's pretty clear that we're pretty transparent. We go off vibes and that's like how people absorb celebrities as vibes, you know? And it's fun to find it all together. We're on a journey. I know. Oh my god, he's so little in the Lion King and he had, oh my god, I had one of these a yin yang necklace. Oh , with both parts? With both parts together, no together, and I had one . Oh my god. Ugh , imagine being in the lion King . I'm gonna be the main event like, no king was before , like that's you . Well, so actually that 's put a new link in the chat from E online. And if you scroll down to the bottom, there's an even more recent photo of him from twenty twenty three. Oh with the Lakoster and the Contigo mug with no caps. Wait, I thought that was an energy drink. Is that not an energy drink ? It looks like a mug I have a bunch of without caps, which he also doesn't have a cap on, which is so relatable and a pink yeah, he's not looking as good as the like look okay go back up and look at him in this Nickelodeon with getting a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award the blimp like I'm sorry but, sex on a a stick as child . That blimp. Oh my god, he probably was slimed so many times. Yeah. It looks like he's wearing a wedding ring in that photo. I know. Well, who was he married to in nineteen eighty seven? I don't think he's been married. No, I don't think so. By the way, young Sam Simba was voiced by a boy named Jason Weaver in the nineteen ninety four, animated Lanking . Jason Weaver. He was the singing voice of young Simba. He turned down a two million dollars upfront payment from Disney . Instead, on his mother's advice , he took a hundred thousand dollars plus royalties, which is a decision that is paid by millions of dollars over time. I'm sure . My God . I wonder what JT You know we should be doing Dominic. We should do a patreon that's like the singing voices of things and who where they are now. Let's do it. That's a great Patreon episode. I'm surprised Jonathan Taylor Thomas doesn't have a good singing voice. He just strikes me as somebody who could I know. Well , he's also like a hot white kid that probably got a lot of other people to do shit for him. So he's probably like, let's someone else sing this. Yeah, that's fair. I know Patricia will say get out of here. Yeah, he's like, I barely want to act like can I not be in the moment improvement? Get the fuck out of here . Sing ? I know Pam Anderson . Yeah. Like literally . That's another thing I want to know. I know w whoan hena's still tal ks to in Hollywood. Like who's house he hangs out with? You don't think you think so you think he's completely excommunicated himself? I'm surprised . Does he live in LA? I'm surprised he someone like that lives in Los Angeles. Right. Where do we think he should live? Like I don't know. You see him on the Jersey shore somewhere. Milwaukee like you don't know, but for real, for real, like some midwestern city where like no one even realizes it's him and like there isn't a paparazz i person there to like take a photo of him. Yeah, go back to weird to me is that he still lives in L. A. But like, well, he writes and directs. So that's why he's out there . Yeah . There's only one thing that I want him to do. Okay , and it's not only fans. There's only one thing. But here we are at the arena to fix Jonathan Taylor, Louise Thomas Weiss . Christopher , the floor is yours . Jonathan Taylor Thomas , JT , which by the way, when InSYNC started and people started calling Justin Timber like JT, we all had to do like a mental shift from JT to just ae people were like, don't you mean JT and people were like, no, we mean Justin Dim like that really I remember that having I remember that anyway that's how famous he was the other te wase protective because now we see where Justin Timberlake is. Yeah. I can't the courage it must have taken your entire generation to get through that. I can't know it's hard to imagine Dominic was hard. Okay . That and why did you say here ? It was really hard. Anyway, what did JC Schae have to say exactly there are other Jays in the world. What the fuck ? That also was hard . We should fix JC Chase , hold on, writing it down . Okay , Jonathan Taylor Thomas , here's what I want you to do. Recently on an episode of Hacks , Deborah goes back to the like comic con like fan event and it's like her and all of her fans . You know what he could write really well? If he wants to write and direct something, he's also going to star in it . And I want him to write and direct a comedy about all of these eighties and nineties stars that like make all of their money at fan events and they all play themselves. And this can be like him . It can be Hailey Joel Osmond. It can be who are the other versions of Danielle Michelle Sure . Yes. Everyone from Boy Meets , everyone from Boy Meets World. Everyone from nine hundred two that doesn it't work anymore. Everyone from all the Jodie Sodi sweetened Yes. Jodie Sweeten playing herself. Like all these characters , like being at the thing and it being like a calm almost like remember waiting the Ryan Reynolds movie where they're all like they work at an Applebees. Oh yes terrible to each other and it shows you like what it's really like to work in a restaurant in like a shitty restaurant like a kind of like a waiting can. It be even like a very like dark comedy of like they're all like with their fans and they go back in the background and they're smoking cigarettes like these people are fucking losers. Like you know what I mean? Like when the Disney when the Disney head comes off yes and they',re like the, f Whatuck are we doing here? And it could be a really good commentary on parasocial relationships . And like, if he and a bunch of them all star in this movie and it's kind of like edgy and fun and it's they're they're playing themselves but it',s a weird vers ion of themselves. That could generate so much buzz for him. And then like people everywhere would be like, what other scripts do you have? Like, Blob like he wants to write and direct, like lean into your fame in the nineties that gets you to open the door to then be like, okay, what else you have? And I want to watch that. Remember there was a movie that it was called Dickie Roberts. Do you remember this movie? It was sounds familiar. It was David Sp playing a like child star. Yes , he had grown up and was like a horrible person . His version of that movie, but at this like comic con for ninety like nineties con or whatever, that would be so fucking funny and applicable to right now when there's like so much parasocial relationships going on too much some would say including myself . Yeah . And like they could tackle that in this movie, and I think it'd be fucking genius. I love that. That's my pitch. Jonathan Taylor Thomas . Not only do I want you to be the Bachelor, but I want all twenty contestants to be tiger beat loving super fans from your crime . And that is my pitch A circus pitch, perhaps watchable , absolutely plausible , less than zero percent chance. However, especially security reasons for the Super Fans being the Bachelorette but it's security reasons. It's that's how it that's how we make that season unprecedented, which is like they know who the Bachelor is and they grew up being in love with him. Like, can you imagine these fucking crazy people want to be like traumatized? Can I steal him for one second? I can't I love the socks she're wearing in scene three and hugging Tim. I love it I. And love you. I want that's what I want. What that level of insanity on that show ? My desert pitch. Okay, Becca has, you have two pitches, you said. Can I give two? can You you can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you like, but you know, the rule is Chris and I have to make eye contact. We'll know instantly no we immediately you're going to go to the next round. Okay, okay. And it could be possible as like we do a vote. We do a vote and it's like one of each of ours. A three way. Yeah, the possibilities are you don't get in , we call for a three way vote or we're so blown away by your idea that we forfeit. And that has happened several times, actually like the ideas better . Okay, one of these ideas is for me and then the other is what I genuinely think he would like to do. So the one for me is I want him to write and direct an off Broadway play because are in the era of nostalgia, we're in the area of celebratification of off Broadway and I just think he would do really well. He doesn't even have to be there. He could just be dark and gritty and, you know, let's get him in the orphum. Let's see it happen . That's my one . My second one that I want him to do is pull a full Ben McKenzie, another former child star who's now famous for writing a book on like exposing cryptocurrency. Yes, we just talked about this. I want him to use his Harvard and Columbia education to whether it's crypto or NFT or AI, like I'm sure he's anti AI. I believe in my gut that Jonathan Taylor Thomas is anti AI and I want to see him just go full like expose journalist spotlight. That's what I want to see for him. Hm . It's so rare that we judge anything on we have to be. I would I would consider the first one. I'm not buying him for the second one. I don't it's just not the energy I'm getting from him. I don't know why . I would believe ten years ago that Ben McKenzie would find himself in this position. I just I don't see JT doing that second one. And because it's so public and he wants to have a private life and that's like know what I'm saying. That's so fair. Ben McKenzie's on every single is at the opening of a tuna can to be like, let me tell you about how cryptocurrencies are ruining the world. Do you know what I'm saying? And so I feel that yes, he wouldn't want to. I like the idea also like you got so many degrees to do what? Be a fucking writer still. Right. You know what I mean? It's like why did you go to the most expensive and like lauded universities in America? It's not necessary. I want to be a director. Like what are you like you're already famous? You can be a director. It's like , but anyway, because that's like, I would like to see him use those degrees if he's going to take someone else's scratch at a Harvard like at an Ivy League university to like do it. So what's the off broadway play about I think I need to know what it's about before we move it to the next round. And I will I was originally thinking you were pitching him to do a one man show which I just don't know that he wants to do eight nights a week is my issue, but I do think he wants to direct and write. And so I don't know what the show maybe it's it's probably like a revival of some sort. It's probably something heady something, we haven't seen in a while. That's all I got . I don't feel like it moves the needle enough for him. Okay, fair enough . Oh, for JT. I thought you're talking about me. I was like, I wasn't saying that for now. No, but I'm saying like sure Jonathan Taylor Thom as like wrote this. I'm like, okay, like I would go in be like okay and be like, is he in it? And then we'd be like, what? Like if he's not in a terrible ideas by the way No, they're not a high bar 's a. It high bar. I'm hon ored to be presenting them to you today . No, it's it though there is a high bar. They're not terrible ideas, but they're not . They're not they're not . It's not it. I understand. I'm sorry. It's okay. Isn't this a fun system we have? We get to say not only have you lost this round, you now also have to determine who won . Okay, so we're between the limited series HBO Bachelor . Yeah . Yeah, like movie about being himself, like a parody version of himself . Right, where he's being on the bat the ninety star or being the Bachelor ? I can't in good conscience like send him to what was probably a nightmare situation . Unless we find out that he's done something really horrific. So I reserve the right to switch, but I also wanna see that show. No, we all do we all yeah. So it's like, I want to see that show about all the nineties stars, eighty stars. I feel like let's give them something. Come on. How have they not written this yet? That's true, seriously. Like when I was coming up, I was like, No, there's no way that someone didn't do this already, and then I thought about it. And I was like, No one has done this. Because all we're getting is revamped. We're getting Home Alone revamp, not Home Alone J. Sodwieeeten and all those they did filler house revamp. And it's like the same IP. It's like you guys are over that. Let's not I want to see who you are now makes it as a four year old. It makes it fun if they're like she smoking cigs in the back and like you know what I mean? Like there's a grittiness to it that doesn't exist anymore that like would be and it's very there's a lot of like faux grittiness but like the real grittiness that could really do a lot of all of them. Jodie I keep talking about Jodie's but she's seen a lot like Joe Yeah has seen a lot like I don't want to see you guys and his development
