00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:11.400
STRAWT media. Cheers, my love, salute, welcome back to Tequila Talk.

2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.880
We've been away, we've missed you. We've missed you and we are

3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.800
on the road, so we're not
we don't have our usual audio set up,

4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.000
but this will have to suffice.
For Yourself. A glass of your

5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.760
finest Tequila or whatever you drink from
Straw hut media. This is Tequila talk

6
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:38.079
with daisy pointest and Richard Mox sotill
going to sound better than ninety percent of

7
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.359
the podcast I listened to, which
sound like they're being recorded under water and

8
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:48.159
submarine. What is that you like
and hate about most podcasts? Oh,

9
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:54.759
that's a good question. I don't
like podcasts that are it's interesting. I

10
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.520
don't like podcasts that are not planned
in any way, that are just free

11
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.799
form, just mental. You know, diarrhea. We're a little bit like

12
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.760
that sometimes. Now we always have
some we always have some topics to discuss

13
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.040
and we will go on a hike
or will do it over lunch that day.

14
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.000
What are we going to talk about
in the tonight's podcast? We are

15
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.599
somewhat prepared. YEA, we get
topics that but I also don't like stuff

16
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:30.200
that is so seems scripted. Yeah, not conversational. Yeah, I I.

17
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.439
I think I agree with you.
I don't like when people just kind

18
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.000
of talk over each other when there
were too many people on a podcast.

19
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.040
We haven't had guests. Yeah,
in a way we talked over each other

20
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.120
enough. Yeah, in a way
I want to have guests, but I

21
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:51.159
find it really uncomfortable when I when
you have too many people trying to talk

22
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.760
at the same time. It's a
little distracting to me. And then when,

23
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.359
when, the when I like a
podcast and I listen because I like

24
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.519
the person doing the podcast and then
they have a guest on that, I

25
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.560
don't care for that. I don't
care for those podcasts. So I like

26
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:16.120
them to be consistent with either the
topics that they're talking about or the same

27
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.400
type of guests. I don't know, I find that they can be to

28
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:27.680
what diss do you like? I
really was liking one that was with Bill

29
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.479
Gates and Rashida Jones. Uh Huh. Yeah, you show. You played

30
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.639
me one of those. It was
good. Yeah, it was on for

31
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.479
a while. I was he was
very laid he was he was the silent

32
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.840
partner, somewhat, not really.
I think that he knew that he wasn't

33
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.599
the entertainer, so he would jump
in whenever he had something too add he

34
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.680
kind of let her. He was
much for me it was much less of

35
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.319
a cohost than a guest. Numbers. Definitely a cohost wire. They were

36
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.520
guests. Come on and they had
some crazy easy great guests like yeah,

37
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.919
Bo and right, really, it's
the one, you've got it. Yeah,

38
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.840
then he'll jump in and he'll ask
questions, but I like that.

39
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:14.800
It was very well produced and interesting. They got right to the point,

40
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.919
great questions, real insides on topics
that are interesting to me. So I

41
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.159
liked that dynamic of them too.
And there's one called stuff you should know

42
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.479
and every now and like I said, some of them are interesting to me,

43
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.159
not all of them. Yeah,
I'm sure, just like us right,

44
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.960
some people like some podcast, depends
on the episode, others. I

45
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.960
have to say, I really I
like rob lows podcast literally, which at

46
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.159
first annoyed me because I thought,
and I know, that that's what his

47
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.039
character used to say on parks and
wreck and it was funny. But then

48
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.800
I thought, wait a minute,
I think he might think it's actually pronounced

49
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.520
literally, when, in of course, I found out that he know.

50
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.840
He gets the joke and that's the
whole point, right. So I was

51
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:06.520
the asshole right who thought, oh, he's saying is wrong. You know.

52
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.280
Again, it's like he's generally good. He's really good with a great

53
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.079
guest. Yeah, and I would
love to do his podcast. Actually,

54
00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:19.839
he had Kenny loggins on not so
long ago and I was impressed with how

55
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:25.519
he interviewed Kenny, because I've interviewed
Kenny right and I've been friends with Kenny

56
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.399
for a long time and he brought
some stuff out of Kenny that I thought

57
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.959
was cool and it was really conversational
and fun. And he always has guests

58
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.759
every episode of a different guest.
Yeah, and it's just him. Like

59
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.519
where's Dak Shepherd's podcast, which I
like to I've heard a few of those

60
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:47.800
and I like those. He has
a cohost. Yeah, and I don't

61
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:53.720
know, I think there's just such
a glut of podcast I also really like

62
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.600
heather do Bros podcast. Yeah,
we've been on that numerous times. He's

63
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.800
a friend and she you know,
what I like about hers is that she's

64
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.160
very honest and it reminds me a
little bit of ours. Yeah, it

65
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.959
reminds me a little bit of hours
because she talks about her life and the

66
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.839
things that she does. Have a
very interesting life, the same way that

67
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.199
you have a very interesting life and
you know our travels and where life takes

68
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.360
us, and I feel like that
those are good things to really just kind

69
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:28.759
of go off on. Yeah,
we've been busy. We're getting busy,

70
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.079
and know the reason that we haven't
we didn't have an episode last week.

71
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.959
Was it been two weeks now?
I do maybe two weeks. Yeah,

72
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.519
is that? You know, it's
tough. It's easy to maintain a weekly

73
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.079
schedule of a podcast when you're in
the middle of a pandemic. Yes,

74
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.519
because there's no place to go,
nothing to do. Right, but as

75
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:54.680
life has sort of started to return
to love new normal. Yeah, I

76
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.160
finally have gotten back to work,
and so have you. I've started doing

77
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.279
a little bit of work, a
little guest hosting on a show called daily

78
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.759
pop on E. Yeah, work. It's been a lot of fun.

79
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.040
It gets me up very early in
the morning, I do a little bit

80
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.560
of prep in the evening and you
know, you're starting to travel. I'm

81
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.399
trying to do a little traveling with
you, and so it's made it a

82
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.800
little difficult for us to maintain a
podcast schedule. So we just wanted to

83
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.759
let everybody know that we're going to
be putting podcast out, probably not as

84
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:30.120
regular right used to it. We're
not stopping it, but will will don't

85
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.959
we don't have any plans to stop
it right. We're going to. It's

86
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.839
going to have to be a little
bit more sporadic. Yeah, and we'll

87
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.920
just catch up with you guys whenever
we get a chance and let you know

88
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.480
what life, yeah, has been
bringing us, what's been going on.

89
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.360
I'll tell you what I've noticed about
both of us. Yeah, because it's

90
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.759
interesting that a coincide. Or so
I've done. I've done two shows now

91
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:58.800
back on concert in on the concert
trail Denver, maybe ten days ago or

92
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.480
so, and then a couple nights
ago in Fort Lauderdale, near where we

93
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.279
live, and I was at that
one along with a bunch of our friends

94
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:09.800
from Florida. Yeah, and that
was an amazing, spectacular getting that.

95
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.680
Will get into all that in a
minute. But me resuming my concert touring

96
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.920
has coincided with you being back on
television, even though it's a guest host

97
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.560
thing, which could, you know, certainly lead to some other stuff and

98
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.240
you have some other projects going that
are really exciting. But you know,

99
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.279
it's fun and it's it's exciting to
be planning something or working on an idea

100
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.600
that might become something which is we
don't want to tell talk too much about

101
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.240
it, but you're working on something
behind the scenes that is potentially going to

102
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.959
be amazing. Well, yeah,
there's a development situation that I've been working

103
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.480
on right you know, said,
and that's exciting and it's yeah, captures

104
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:54.319
your attention and in your focus.
But the actual doing, like you got

105
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:59.519
like daisy and I go to bed
at zero in the morning for her to

106
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.040
get up at thirty to go do
this live show. You've been going to

107
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.079
bed at like nine o'clock, Ninety
three, and I've been right there with

108
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.480
you, like okay, let's do
this. What I've noticed is that me

109
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:18.959
going back to work and you going
back on television has lifted our spirits a

110
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.240
little bit. Yes, it's put
a little wind in our wings. Yes,

111
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.000
it's been so long and it just
feels so good to get back out

112
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.159
there do a little bit of what
I what I've done, you know,

113
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.399
I. Yeah, I've done nothing, and since before the pandemic it was

114
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.960
kind of quiet for me. And
I change some things around that. The

115
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.559
pandemic gave me time to really reflect
that a few things. I change some

116
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.120
things around, brought some new people
into the team. Yeah, and it's

117
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:58.159
been really good. It feels good
to be able to to feel like you

118
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.440
you don't have to retire, you
know, and not during the pandemic I

119
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.759
kind of felt, I'm done.
By the time this is done, I'm

120
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.840
going to be, you know,
seventy years old. Help me to that

121
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.360
was that was a product of your
team at that time and you felt like

122
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.799
you didn't have you didn't have cheerleaders, you didn't other than me, you

123
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.039
didn't have people going no, no, there's this we can do and that

124
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.600
we can do. It's important to
have people around you who are still excited

125
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:30.639
about the business that you're in.
Yeah, people who still feel excited to

126
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.879
be in it, to do the
work and to to motivate me and to

127
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.960
be motivated. That's important and you
know, I guess when you're with people

128
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.080
for a very, very long time, you lose that and that, as

129
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.200
much as excitement is contagious, that
anti excitement. Yeah, it is also

130
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.080
contagious the gloom and the laziness and
the yeah, you know, and those

131
00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:01.120
sort of lackluster yeah, sort of
apathy. Yeah, so, and you

132
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.840
know, you went back on.
I did. You did three days,

133
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.200
right, and you're going to go
back and do another three more days.

134
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.200
Reason. But it was I was
just like my I had a grin on

135
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:15.279
my face all day when you would
be on those they those days you did,

136
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.600
because I would be looking at your
social media and people going, Oh

137
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.000
my God, we've missed you so
much on TV, you, Oh my

138
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.559
God, you look so beautiful and
all you were so funny and you were

139
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.679
so great and you know, that's
been really nice to have the you know,

140
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.759
people just say they're happy to see
me back on, yeah, television,

141
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.279
and that was that was really fun. I wasn't expecting that. Yeah,

142
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:41.440
so I feel like it's a it's
a good indicator that getting back to

143
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:48.279
what we have always known and loved. Yeah, it has definitely affected our

144
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.759
gloom. Yeah, it's Nice.
It's nice to be a little bit busy

145
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.320
and after everything that everyone has been
through, you know, a lot of

146
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.840
people have decided to quit their jobs
and to be less busy and to be

147
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.919
at home more. And for me
and you, I think we both realized

148
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:16.360
that we missed it and we're happy
to get back to some sort of normalcy.

149
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.960
Yeah, I knew, obviously I
knew that I missed performing because it's

150
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.200
such a, yeah, huge part
of WHO I am. You know,

151
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:31.480
I've been singing for people on stage
for thirty something years, thirty five years

152
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:39.159
more maybe, to just all of
a sudden not do that for two years,

153
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.279
over two years, that's heavy.
Well, we've talked about on the

154
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:50.159
show like it fucked me up and
in certain ways in the early days,

155
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.600
in that I just didn't know how
to be still or how to have that

156
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.080
taken away from me. And again, I don't I don't mean to a

157
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:07.840
I no way mean to minimize anybody
else's struggles or everybody has suffered through this.

158
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.039
It's all relative. Every it's all
righty, there is, but there

159
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:18.039
are certain jobs and industries, yeah, that were pushed aside and and told

160
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.840
to wait longer than others. So
a lot of people in the last year

161
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.679
went back to work right in some
way, shape or form. They worked

162
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.120
from home or they would ever right. Yeah, performers, we were like

163
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.759
in the small percentage of people who
we were the last people to get back

164
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.120
to work. You've had your tour
dates now rescheduled three times or times.

165
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.279
Yeah, yeah, and I think
that it's not fair. Maybe it is.

166
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.759
I mean, I don't know.
I guess you've take the recommendations as

167
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.759
they come. And there they put
these recommendations for a reason, I'm sure

168
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:01.200
to however, it really started confusing
me and bothering me a little bit when

169
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:11.639
venues such as theaters and indoor theater, large live concert venues, would do

170
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.960
things like, for example, you
were going to go play in Puerto Rico,

171
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.919
right, it was sold out.
Yeah, and a few weeks before

172
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:26.559
the show, numbers were rising with
the the new Ami chron variant. Yeah,

173
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.639
and they said to you, well, you could. The new law

174
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.919
for now is that you can only
have the theater filled to fifty percent capacity,

175
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.120
including staff. Yeah, and wild
instead. So why would you do

176
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.720
that to a soul may show right
when? Now? What bothers me about

177
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:48.039
this is that doing that same time
we were having school shows, a super

178
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.759
bowl and soccer shows, no consistency, acked and some of them were indoor

179
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.759
venues. And you know, you're
having basketball shows about basketball games where,

180
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.879
yeah, some people are masks and
people aren't, but that's indoors. Yeah,

181
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.519
much larger venues than what you were
going to do. Yeah, so

182
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.159
that was a little bit unfair and
a little bit confusing. And it happened

183
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.960
to me in Australia too, because, you know, where as Australia they

184
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.000
were sort of heroes in the early
days of the pandemic, there's still half

185
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.519
the country. Half the country is
doing great, half the country is not

186
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:24.080
doing great. And we were supposed
to play, I was supposed to play

187
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.840
I think a dozen shows between New
Zealand and Australia and then go off and

188
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.600
do South East Asia. This was
all going to come up quickly in like

189
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.440
April May, and the promoters in
the venues came back and said, you

190
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.279
know, depending like half the promoters
and venues said, we really we have

191
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.679
to restrict capacity or we have to
reschedule that. So we had to move

192
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.840
the whole thing to next year,
and that really gets old after a while.

193
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.039
It's like Ike, I keep getting
told you can't go back to work.

194
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.279
Yeah, so that's the best the
downside. The upside is that here

195
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:07.399
in the states we're now at a
place where, for a minute at least,

196
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.960
hopefully for a long time or forever, we are kind of back to

197
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.159
people coming out. Two shows.
Yeah, you know, the other night

198
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:24.879
in Fort Lauderdale completely packed with the
most amazing Denver to the most amazing audiences,

199
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:33.000
and I incredible. I told you
that my first showback, I for

200
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:39.320
the first time in decades, I
was nervous to walk out because it's been

201
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.440
you know, it's one of those
things as like as a singer, it's

202
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:52.000
kind of like an athlete who's not
trained and has not done their sport in

203
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.120
two years. You're not going to
just run a hundred yard touchdown. Probably

204
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.679
you might, but it's probably not
going to happen. You get to pace

205
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.879
yourself. You don't know how your
body's going to react. And so even

206
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.279
though I felt okay, I felt
fine, and I've been singing here and

207
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.720
there. I've been me you know, I've been recording my album, which

208
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:18.320
is a totally different kind of singing
than live singing. But at the beginning

209
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:26.840
of the pandemic I'd been singing so
consistently for so many years that I just

210
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.080
took for granted that even if I
was a little off, even if I

211
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.679
was tired or I had a little
bit of a head cold or something,

212
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.480
I'm going to be fine. I
can do a show no problem, and

213
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.480
I didn't know what was going to
happen and I remember texting you right before

214
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.559
the show and I said, I
can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm

215
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.200
nervous. I thought that was really
sweet and a sign, a sure sign,

216
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.720
that you are so committed to what
you do and you're passionate about you

217
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.440
do. I want to be fucking
great. You want to be great every

218
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.919
time you step out on that stage, and that's what that was. Yeah,

219
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.919
it's a good thing, I think. And I walked out feeling to

220
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:11.039
enjoy. I walked out to this
wave of love and joy and celebration.

221
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.240
And it happened the other night,
maybe even more so, like I thought.

222
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.519
The first show back and Denver was
like the can't beat this, and

223
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.079
for Lotterdale kind of went hold my
beer. Yes, you walked out to

224
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:29.759
a standing ovation. It was so
I should have just left. But now

225
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.920
somehow I got better. I get
better and and the first show and this

226
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.359
show I'm playing, I'm singing twenty
something songs, I'm playing for like two,

227
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.519
two and a half hours. That's
incredible. But then I wake up

228
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:47.160
the next morning and thinking you're ready
to do another show? Yeah, like

229
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.960
all of the worry that I had
about getting my voice back in shape and

230
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.920
all that. So far. I
don't want to Chinse it, but it

231
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:59.839
has been. Your muscle is solid
gold. Why. Thank you, you,

232
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:07.119
you. What about my voice,
though? It's amazing. Oh God.

233
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.000
So, how was your experience like
being back on set, having to

234
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.400
prep for because what you're doing is
a very topical yes, like they might

235
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.960
change it up on you the last
man. They do, and they do

236
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.440
like, for example, we had
a story and at the last minute it

237
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.119
was about a celebrity couple who was
in the middle of a legal thing and

238
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:32.359
we actually teased the story, went
to commercial and during the commercial our producer

239
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:37.240
said, Oh, the next story
has just been flagged by legal, which

240
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.799
means it needs to be reviewed and
and we need to make sure we get

241
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.960
all the facts right and it could
be troubled. We, you know,

242
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.359
we say something that is wrong.
Yeah, so that one had to be

243
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.680
pushed the next day. But you
know what it's they're all such prose and

244
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:57.519
there is always so much to talk
about that you just go with it and

245
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.599
it's live. You don't have too
much time to think about the things that

246
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:06.200
come up and I'm always on set
with two other people. Yeah, so

247
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.880
there was really not that much to
put love the main host. Oh,

248
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.720
Justin. He's great. Yeah,
Justin Sylvester, who is a host on

249
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:18.640
e and he does a number of
other spots on, I think, NBC

250
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.920
and for some other shows. He's
good, he's wonderful. He really makes

251
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.599
me laugh, he really lightens,
lightens it all up and and has some

252
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.880
interesting points, you know. So
he makes it very easy. He keeps

253
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:37.720
the show moving and I as a
guest really, which is rare. I'm

254
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.640
usually doing what he does, which
is running the show and keeping the show

255
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.200
moving. In this instance I just
was able to be part of the conversation

256
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.440
and enjoy a really great live television
production. Yeah, which I miss,

257
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.119
and it is. It's well produced. Yeah, it's like top production,

258
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:03.359
like value, and we cover a
lot of topics, celebrity, mostly entertainment

259
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.039
industry, but it's really a lot
of fun. In your back on one.

260
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.480
I am back on on at the
Oh, the first, I think,

261
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.039
right, which is why you're not
going to be with me in Nashville.

262
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.279
Right, right. So, daisy
and I were planning this really I'm

263
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:23.839
ending this run of shows with three
nights at this incredible theater in Nashville,

264
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.559
just outside of Nashville in Franklin,
Tennessee, called the Franklin theater. It's

265
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:36.079
historic, it's really, really renowned, respected and I'm playing three nights there.

266
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.680
So I and I get there two
days before with two days off.

267
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.359
So we were going to go and
see friends and, yeah, dinners and

268
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:47.880
hang out and then you have to
go to work. Yeah, the next

269
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.759
one. And I think another thing
that I wanted to mention for the folks

270
00:20:52.920 --> 00:21:00.799
who really who follow you and who
want to go to your shows, who

271
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:04.799
already have tickets for your following shows, you're doing this really cool new thing

272
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.640
where you're taking requests. Oh yeah, this was your idea. Yeah,

273
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.079
this is why you want to mention. It your idea. No, I

274
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.000
think it's a great idea and I
love it. I think people really like

275
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:19.200
it. So in every show the
audience gets to jump on Richard markscom yeah,

276
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:23.640
and request a, do a do
dedication. HMM, and you will

277
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.559
pick one and every show and do
a live dedication and I just can't wait

278
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.680
until you get like that wedding proposal. Yeah, I've done those. If

279
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.960
I've had those. Of that was
so much fun and now that everybody's capturing

280
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.240
them on on video, I think
it would be so great to have a

281
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.599
couple of those. Yeah, it
was a great idea and what we do

282
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.839
is at the actual show, you
know, there's a period of time between

283
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.519
when you come in, what we
call doors, which when, which case

284
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.319
the doors are open, people can
come in and take their seats. It's

285
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.279
usually forty five minutes to an hour
before the show. Yeah, to give

286
00:21:55.319 --> 00:22:00.000
people time to settle in, get
a little refreshment, buy some tshirts,

287
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:06.079
buy some tshirts for whatever, and
then the show starts. And so we

288
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:11.400
want to always give people something to
listen to or watch, and so we

289
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:17.119
have pictures and slides and music playing
stuff, and so daisy had this idea.

290
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:22.759
So now we have this this prompt
to go to my website if you

291
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.759
have you want to dedicate a song
that night to someone. We had the

292
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.839
first night. We did it with
you the night and it was like a

293
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.920
hundred and sixty requests or something like
that's amazing, and it was. That

294
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.960
was only a matter of thirty minutes. Yeah, I think that'll pick up

295
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.240
and you might have to end up
doing more. Do I did Angel Angelia.

296
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.759
That's right, you might have to
end up doing more than one dedication.

297
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.079
Yeah, which is really fun.
Maybe, or people who want me

298
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.680
to sing a song in honor of
their wedding, in which case I'll sing

299
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:56.960
shit in own better. Maybe sady
wants a song to break up to.

300
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:10.920
Yeah, we'll be right back after
this short break. By the way,

301
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:18.240
in the last twenty four hours we've
decided that there is a we we use

302
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.799
it Martini as the as the what
do you want? I want to call

303
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.759
it. That's rue as the measure, but it could be for any drink.

304
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:33.359
Yeah, we use my song titles
for consumption. So one Martini is

305
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:42.680
don't mean nothing to Martini's satisfied.
Yeah, three Martin he's should. I

306
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.160
love it. Okay, so I
want to talk to you about this because

307
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:55.160
you and I have sort of browsed
this topic a little bit with each other,

308
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:02.759
but we haven't really talked about it. You know, you pointed something

309
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:07.960
out to me recently, which is
that I go down these rabbit holes on

310
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:15.720
youtube particularly. Yeah, I will
either get sent something or I'll spot something

311
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:22.039
online that has to do with a
television show or a movie or a band

312
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.960
or a song from when I was
a kid and then I need to spend

313
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.559
the next hour minute. Well,
you don't need to. You Go to

314
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:36.240
you don know, I need something
out and you you end up really going

315
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:41.039
down this Retro Rabbit Hole. Retro
is the word. Yeah, Nostalgia.

316
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.720
Yeah, and I we have a
couple of friends, eve and Rick,

317
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.720
who are really into that too.
Yeah, and we had dinner with them

318
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:53.440
recently and I know that about them. Like I'm a trivia buff about old

319
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:59.640
TV shows and movies and stuff like
that, and certainly music. But and

320
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:06.240
Rick and Evett are they remember everybody's
names? Yeah, and characters and everything.

321
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.359
So we have we and I'm leaving
you out of it. Yeah,

322
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:14.920
we have fun reminiscing about these old
TV stars and I think everything he does.

323
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.640
I think it's nice to do a
little flashback and talk about the shows

324
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.960
and the people, the personalities and
the moments that really, you know,

325
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:26.279
bring joy to your life. Horse
and I get that times and everybody's life

326
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.359
and I've always had a trace of
that. I've always and like, Oh

327
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.880
yeah, that's that's nice. It's
a warm, fuzzy feeling today's generation.

328
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.759
At thirty years when I will be
doing a rabbit hole dive into instagram.

329
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.799
Remember it can cradash and did.
Yes, I remember what she said that

330
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.359
and Oh don't let me after I
get through this rant, I want to

331
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:52.880
talk to you about that. Pay
but I realized, like the other night

332
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.720
we were talking and you said you
were sweet about it. You were like,

333
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.319
Oh, it's so cute how you
go down these rabbit holes, and

334
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.440
I said, you know what it
is, because I didn't use to go

335
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:11.759
down those, like those lengthy a
rabbit hole. It's because I don't prefer

336
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:18.960
now. Really, I prefer now
in terms of usome with you, and

337
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.960
there are certain things. I love
my relationship with my kids, and I'm

338
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.119
feel very blessed to still be have
a but but if you're going to ask

339
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:34.720
yourself, is life, yeah,
nicer and better now than it was thirty

340
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.799
years ago? I would say now. That all really depends on how you

341
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:44.720
look at it. No, it's
it's very completely subjective. Yeah, it's

342
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.759
completely subjective. Some people go like
fuck, are you kidding me? I

343
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:51.480
wouldn't trade right now with thirty years
ago for anything. Well, I'm not

344
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.359
saying I would trade it, but
you know, when I see what people

345
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:03.960
what is what are considered advanced instruments, whether it's technology, and in certain

346
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.359
ways technology has made all of our
lives better and easier and kept people safer.

347
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:12.880
And there's all these accolades I could
lay on so much of what is

348
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:19.839
modern. Yeah, there's also like
there's a price. You know, we're

349
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:26.720
not as connected as individuals. Humanity
is not connected the way they used to

350
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.480
be. We we now like,
and I'm guilty of it too, I

351
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.599
would much rather tell even people I
love, I would rather text them and

352
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:37.839
talk to them, because I've because
it's become a habit. Like I don't

353
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.359
I can't be on the phone for
ten minutes. Yeah, but in the

354
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.400
same way, there are people who
I normally wouldn't, would have lost touch

355
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.799
with, and due to social media, I now am able to of course,

356
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.039
somehow be connected to them and have
an idea what's going on in their

357
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:59.839
lives. Frozen cons to all of
it. Yeah, but the General I'm

358
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:14.039
just saying that the overall reason that
I find myself attracted to nostalgia or like,

359
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:22.920
I would rather spend an hour watching
some old Dean Martin Roast really then

360
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:30.720
beyond instagram looking at people doing stupid
shit, including myself. It's just not

361
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.599
like it's become not interesting to me
at all. I can see that.

362
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:41.599
I understand it, but I I
feel a bit of a disconnect with the

363
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.519
past. I know and I like
you and I this is one of the

364
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.640
few ways that we, yeah,
diverge. We're because we're so alikened.

365
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.880
So, anyways, this is not
one of them. I'm really happy living

366
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.680
in the present. I want to
know what's going on now. I want

367
00:28:53.720 --> 00:29:00.039
to know who is shaking things up
now. I want to know what to

368
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.640
look forward to in the future,
what I should be prepared for in the

369
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.799
future. I want to me the
present is definitely where I want to be,

370
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:12.480
but the future is always more exciting
to me than the past. The

371
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:15.640
future is not exciting to me really. Why do you think that is?

372
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:21.880
Because I think people just are are
getting worse. Yeah, I think people

373
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:32.920
overall are getting more hateful, more
intolerant, more ignorant, less educated and

374
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.759
more proud of being less educated.
Yeah, that is to the point where

375
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:42.799
I don't really recognize my fellow man
as much as I used to. But

376
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:47.960
we didn't know our fellow man the
way we know. We knew them way

377
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:51.279
better. No, we didn't.
We did. No, we didn't.

378
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.880
Okay, well then I'll take that
where you just sort of like go hi,

379
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.759
how you doing it? I'm good, yeah, instead of, you

380
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.440
know, instead of talking to somebody
for thirty seconds and knowing the kind of

381
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:06.519
person that they are and what they
say. Is feel like we're at a

382
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:11.319
point now where I and and and
I worry about it because I sometimes want

383
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:17.519
to even in my own thinking room, having it a discussion with myself about

384
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:19.880
it. My Dude, you sound
like you're a hundred years old. Don't

385
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:25.640
be an old guy talking about dude
in my day. It's not that,

386
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:33.359
it's that I don't feel that this
particular time in this country, yeah,

387
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:40.640
is our best of days. I
think that universal, first of all,

388
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:48.039
but I also look as much as
as nice as it is to revisit the

389
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:55.240
past and talk about some Trivia and
we live some of the great moments that

390
00:30:55.519 --> 00:31:00.000
I think we should keep alive for
future generations. We should remind them and

391
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.640
tell them these amazing stories of some
really great people. You know, you

392
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:10.359
can't live in the past and the
longer that you spend time there, the

393
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:17.759
more you're going to dislike where you
are now. Okay, that's all true.

394
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.720
I'm not I'm not going to give
you shit about what you just said.

395
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.319
It's all true, but that's an
extreme version of this I'm saying.

396
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.240
Here's an sample. Are Buddy George
Hom who we love on twitter and we

397
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:41.359
become friendly with one of one of
George's passions is style. Yeah, and

398
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:52.279
so he rails against the laziness that
has overtaken people to wear sweats and flip

399
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.839
flops to a restaurant for dinner.
You could make the argument, well,

400
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.680
your law, you're just in the
past. That's just not how it is

401
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:04.319
anymore. He's saying like no,
we've become fucking lazy. Yeah, we

402
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.279
have, for sure, and I'm
just saying that that's one of several examples

403
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:15.400
where like we're not going in the
right direction. But you know, you

404
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:21.720
can either jump on that train you
can try to redecorate that train, but

405
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:27.720
you can't get off that train.
You're on that train. This is where

406
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:32.559
we are and this is what's happening
to the world. So you can try

407
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:37.279
to contribute to that in a positive
way that feels good to you, but

408
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.440
you can't stop it and live in
the past. Well, I agree with

409
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.039
that, but I disagree with the
two seconds before what you said. Just

410
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:52.000
as somehow it became okay to wear
shorts and flip flops to a Nice restaurant

411
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:58.079
for dinner at baseball cap, it
could just as easily turn around to go,

412
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.200
yeah, you can't do that anymore. Well that. I would not

413
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:06.799
be down with that right because I
don't want to be told how to dress

414
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:08.519
to go to dinner. But you
were for a long time and you want

415
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:13.359
people dress nicer and it was a
more elegant experience. No, I like

416
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:16.640
dressing when I want to dress and
not dressing when I don't want to dress.

417
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.319
I don't like being told how I
should dress. As a woman,

418
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.920
I've been told how to dress my
entire fucking life and I am not down

419
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.559
with that because the minute that that
happens is just people trying to control the

420
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.799
way people look and that's not okay. I like the diversity that we see

421
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:37.000
now. I like that, as
someone who is twenty two years old,

422
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.000
can walk into a restaurant wearing something
that we think, oh, look,

423
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.279
he really didn't put any effort in
it, but when we really look at

424
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.599
what he's wearing and the thought behind
it, some some of these looks are

425
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.119
really brilliant and you can compare it
to when we were young and you would

426
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:58.680
walk into a restaurant with your tight
jeans and your cowboy boots and your big

427
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.920
mullet, fluffy mullet hair, ven
mean now, and the old people in

428
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:06.960
the restaurant would think, oh,
look at these young people, they don't

429
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.119
know how to dress. and every
whoever, everybody else who was young in

430
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:15.239
that place recognize you as a pop
star and people even were inspired by your

431
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:21.000
look and the heyday of my tight
jeans, cowboy boots and mullet. I

432
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.719
knew that certain places, if I
were going to go eat there, I'm

433
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:28.159
not wearing that. I'm going to
dress it up because it's just appropriate.

434
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.400
Like, I don't I get it, like you and I both talked about.

435
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:37.079
We live part time in Malibu,
which is the most casual, laid

436
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:43.880
back place you can I see people
constantly, yeah, out to breakfast in

437
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:47.719
their ugs. I see that in
their slain damas whatever, and you know

438
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:52.719
why I go. That's fine,
that's fine, that's that's except, yeah,

439
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.719
with that place. Yeah, and
most of the places that cater to

440
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:06.679
that serve people right. I'm saying
that up until recently, and I don't

441
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:09.599
mean really recently, but up until
the last five or six years particularly,

442
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.159
you had to sort of like go, yeah, I can just wear sweats

443
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:17.880
and flip flops to the chipotle.
No disrespect to Chabol I could you know,

444
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:22.480
I fucking loved you. Yeah,
but you're not going to wear that

445
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:28.119
to like a really nice, beautiful, elegant restaurants. I agree, and

446
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.079
people now go now, I can
do whatever I want. I agree.

447
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.719
It's like the way you talked about
in the end one of the last couple

448
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:37.000
of podcasts with the guy who is
sitting yes next to us, and he

449
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.320
was wearing flip flops with, yeah, with a little beanie, I don't

450
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:43.199
like it, within it, and
I was like what, that's just confusing.

451
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.840
But, yeah, completely contradicting.
I'm not conducting. I'm not.

452
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:51.079
I don't like being told. He
didn't either what to wear. He doesn't

453
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.519
either, and that's fine. You're
kind of telling him that it's not okay

454
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:57.800
for him to wear what he were. Well, it's not, but it's

455
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.679
his brother. My God, it's
not okay, but it's fine. You,

456
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:05.760
you. We are living at a
time where, you know, there's

457
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.480
been so much talk about freedom and
people taking free to freedom away free,

458
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:16.480
do you emb yeah, freedom,
but but the truth is that we need

459
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:22.639
to have the freedom to dress like
a total fucking idiot or to dress like

460
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:28.760
an elegant person. There are times
when I I don't want to dress up

461
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:32.039
to go somewhere. But if we
bring all that back, then we're getting

462
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:36.239
to the point where, look when
I was, when I had my parttime

463
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:38.920
job in high school, I if
I wore a dress or a skirt,

464
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.400
which I did a lot, I
had to wear panty hose. Cheer Panty

465
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.280
Hose. taught it's not hot.
It was literally hot because they were nylon

466
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:52.159
and it was ninety five degrees from
Jersey. So yeah, it was not

467
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:57.920
know. And so I remember one
time I was at the register and I

468
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:04.199
wasn't wearing this year pose but I
was wearing close, close shoes and a

469
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:12.199
longish skirt and my manager, who
was this ball tubby fucked hard moron.

470
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:21.519
He was just just annoying, misogynist
asshole and I tried to just kind of,

471
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:23.159
you know, deal with him and
be polite to him, be respectful

472
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.320
too, because he was the manager. He literally came up to me and

473
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.599
said you're not wearing Pantyhole, I'm
gonna have to write you up and I

474
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:32.679
said, yes, I am.
I'm wearing panty hose. He said,

475
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:37.880
no, you're not. I said
they're sheer pantyhose, you just can't see

476
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.280
them. He says you're not wearing
I said, do you need to touch

477
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:45.960
my legs and feel my legs seem
if I'm wearing panty hose or because if

478
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:50.639
you do that, then we can
just go right to HRHR with that.

479
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.039
And he was like, don't be
funny, I can see that you're being

480
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.880
funny and next time that you don't
wear Pantis I'm going to write you up.

481
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:59.960
I said, I'm wearing panty hose. What would have been the difference

482
00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:01.840
between me wearing pantyhose are not wearing
panty hose? It would have there would

483
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:07.719
have been no difference. That's such
an extreme ridiculous that's what it leads to.

484
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.039
Know, it leads to men controlling
the way women look, at least

485
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.519
through all them, but controlling what
you look like. It is very related

486
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:20.960
and there's a very fine line.
Okay, dress codes are bullshit, especially

487
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:25.400
in a time when we yes,
dress codes are bullshit, except, look,

488
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:31.239
they've been dress codes and that still
exists in certain restaurants or certain private

489
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:36.760
clubs, etc. where it's kind
of like what we've experienced the last two

490
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.440
years. Yeah, masks, if
you want to enter that establishment, they

491
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:43.719
have their own rules. They were
entitled to make the rules. Yeah,

492
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:46.159
as to what you can I kind
of hire in that establishment and you can

493
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:51.000
either go in there and and buy
by those rules or say I'm not going

494
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:53.880
in there. I would not go
into their own one. I looked to

495
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:59.000
the time when, you know,
there would be doorman in front of clubs

496
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:04.039
and lounges and bar ours and if
you walked up wanting to get in there,

497
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.960
they would look you up and down
and literally judge the fuck out of

498
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.440
you, what you look like and
want you dress like and then decide whether

499
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:15.960
they wanted to let you in or
not. Some Moron with a little fucking

500
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:22.800
clipboard who was a total loser,
dipshit is now judging they wanted to perpetuate

501
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.800
a certain kind of thing in that's
never going to come back. That's never

502
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.639
going to come back to good.
Not Okay, but this is okay.

503
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.639
So what I'm talking about, I'm
talking at talking about going out to a

504
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:39.000
nice, yes, beautiful, restaurant
and seeing people in flip flops and shorts

505
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:43.840
and tshirts and going really, that's
not okay because, guess what, it's

506
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.280
not that they don't own any other
clothes don't feel like it. So in

507
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:50.800
a way, look, I get
that. That's not okay, I think,

508
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:58.599
and it's especially not okay when I
see these adorable, gorgeous women dressing

509
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:00.400
up, putting effort into what they
look like. They do their makeup,

510
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.760
they do their hair, they do
they're wearing beautiful clothes with nice shoes.

511
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.920
Everything looks. They look well put
together and modern and they look stylish.

512
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:15.400
And the guy is wearing cargo pants
and flip flops and a t shirt which

513
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.960
is even clean. That's not okay. But it's not not okay because,

514
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.880
because they're being desild backful, that's
his cowboy boots, ty cheens in moment

515
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.079
and it's that's not a style,
that's not of style. But there are

516
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.239
young people who walk into a place
wearing jeans and a baseball cap and really

517
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:39.360
cool sneakers and a really great tshirt
with a flannel and you know, a

518
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:43.840
lot of it is designer closed or
a lot of it is just really well

519
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.920
put together and it may not be
appropriate for us to walk into that establishment

520
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:52.840
that way, but for someone like
one of your sons, it's perfectly acceptable

521
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:55.880
and expected from someone who's twenty two
or twenty six, yeah, to walk

522
00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:01.719
into an establishment wearing something really super
hip and modern to their generation. So

523
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:07.159
I think that I get what you
mean. I think people should sometimes put

524
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.679
a little more effort into by the
way, I want people here about this.

525
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:15.519
I'm not procode. Yeah, I
hate codes like I don't want I'm

526
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:17.679
not saying, Hey, you know, these restaurant should established a dress.

527
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:22.519
No, I'm not saying that at
all. I'm saying that again it goes

528
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.000
back to what I was saying.
Humanity, yes, has gotten so fucking

529
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:31.559
lazy, right, people generally have
like they could give a shit. They

530
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:37.880
couldn't give the slightest fuck about presenting
themselves in a nice way that they're just

531
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:43.320
it's just becomes too easy to be
lazy. So I'm saying I understand what

532
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.320
you're saying and I get both sides. You know, this made me think

533
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:50.159
back to a time where this is
back in the S, where I was

534
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.960
at MTV, and the look back
in the yearly s is very much the

535
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:59.440
look that is it's all that is
in style now. So when I see

536
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:07.199
twenty five year old girls wearing their
ripped jeans that are highwaisted and crop tops

537
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:10.920
and oversized blazers, that's what I
used to wear and I remember coming home

538
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:15.719
and my mom and my grandma would
be appalled at what I was wearing and

539
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:19.039
they would say, Oh my God, you went out looking like that,

540
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.360
like people recognize you, you're on
television. You should really put more effort

541
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:24.840
into it. And I remember thinking, Oh my God, you guys are

542
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:30.199
so antiquated. That's what I'm wearing. Is People want to see me wearing

543
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:35.960
the hippist clothes and I'm wearing things
from designers samples that are getting to me.

544
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:40.320
Another example of a particular style.
Cargo Pants and flip flops and a

545
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:45.000
dirty tshirt is not a style.
What if it is? What if is

546
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:49.280
Latin a person style? What if
that is that person style? I call

547
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:52.039
bullshit. I just I agree with
you, but I think that there's a

548
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:58.360
very fine line between once you get
into that, you know, what if

549
00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:02.760
a male wants to walk into an
establishment wearing a skirt? What if a

550
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.920
woman wants to walk into us?
That's totally fine. Establishment wearing a men

551
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:17.239
men's tailored suit. We have to
get past all of these gender specifically and

552
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:22.760
you're tireder doing our next podcast like
now, ordering at a time. Just

553
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:25.880
say that this is a very fine
line between. You know, you probably

554
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.239
shouldn't wear flip flops to that Nice
restaurant. Sure we know that, but

555
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:34.320
you know what, we have to
embrace the fact that you can do that

556
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.719
because that wasn't allowed at a point
and we have the freedom to do that

557
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:45.840
now and we're so much more evolved
recognizing that closed don't mean anything. The

558
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:51.639
way you look doesn't mean anything.
When you look at people who have a

559
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:57.000
lot of money, I'm not talking
rich people who make a good living,

560
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.280
who are newly rich, who need
to get the new Mercedes to keep up

561
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:06.960
with the Jones has right. I'm
talking about people who have made billions.

562
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:13.920
When you look at like Bill Gates
and his friends or his spouse or whatever,

563
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:19.639
and you look at a reality star
who is making maybe, you know,

564
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.559
half a million dollars a year or
a million dollars a year, which

565
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:28.360
is great money, but it is
by no means a millionaire or a billionaire.

566
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:34.239
You see these people with new money
trying to show off their money.

567
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.159
You see them with their designer bags, with the designers shoes, everything is

568
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:43.920
designer. And you've got the wearing
tshirts with with some name on the t

569
00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:51.079
shirt of some high end brand just
they look expensive and because they're getting paid

570
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:53.800
on they're getting not always, not
always, in a lot of cases,

571
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:58.440
you know they're not. I'm talking
about regular, everyday people that I see

572
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.239
in the street. These are not
are Abers, also influencers. Do you

573
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:07.559
see them spending every last dime on
a status symbol? But that's been forever.

574
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.679
That's been forever, but more than
ever today, if you notice,

575
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:15.559
people who really have money are not
interested in that. They are the ones

576
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:21.480
wearing the flipflops to the restaurant because
they give zero Fox Nott in time.

577
00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:25.079
I know the people I know who
don't give a fuck. Just wear nice

578
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:30.719
clothes to a nice restaurant. If
they're going to a burger place for the

579
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:34.639
for lunch, they don't care.
I get that. But if they're going

580
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:37.719
to a nice restaurant, they're going
to like dress appropriately. But who's to

581
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:43.119
say what's appropriate? I who is
me? WHO's the decision? Maybe you,

582
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.519
you are marks. Yes, okay, ask me, I'll tell you.

583
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:52.159
Okay, really quickly because I want
to wrap this up as I'm starving.

584
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:58.719
One of the things that you've covered
on your e show is this whole

585
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:05.559
Kanye, Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson
thing. Yeah, you know, my

586
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:10.559
our listeners probably don't know this,
but what level of interest do I generally

587
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:15.400
have in celebrity gossip? Zero?
Zero. Yeah, I don't give a

588
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:20.920
fuck. Yeah, in fact,
I sort of like like rag on.

589
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:24.440
People are interested in that Shit.
Yes, this is compelling to me only

590
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:30.559
because and I have great respect for
Kanye's work. I to to I really

591
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:34.719
like him, as I have great
respect for Kim Kardashian and the Kardashians brand.

592
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:37.880
I think that they've worked their asses
off and they continue to. Yeah,

593
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.320
you know, I'm you can rag
them all day long, I get

594
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:44.719
that, but you can't just you
can't sort of like dismiss the success of

595
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:49.480
their absolutely their family brand like that. Shit doesn't just happen and I respect

596
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.239
Pete Davidson's career. So it's all
level of playing field. Yeah, in

597
00:46:52.360 --> 00:47:00.679
terms of that. At what point
does this go really bad? Yeah,

598
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:04.360
it's Gary my opinion, and I
don't here's the other thing. This is

599
00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.360
one of the reasons I hate celebrity
guys. I was because nobody knows.

600
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.920
These people. May know what their
real deal is, we don't know.

601
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:15.119
For All we know, Kanye is
pulling the biggest scam on everybody, sure,

602
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:20.000
but I don't think he is.
I think he's a really deeply troubled

603
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:27.599
guy who is potentially dangerous to himself
or others, and it well, his

604
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:32.360
behavior is so erratic and so bizarre. Yeah, at what point do we

605
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:38.000
stop laughing at this or just gossiping
about it, and what can be done?

606
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:42.400
Yeah, I mean, what are
you? What is I bean that?

607
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.920
Yeah, there are some bits that
are funny and I think they intend

608
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:50.679
for them to be funny. I
think that because Kanye and Pete Davidson are

609
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.360
both entertainers. They're witty and they
are funny. But you're right, I

610
00:47:54.400 --> 00:48:00.199
am concerned for I'm concerned for children, the children, for Khim, because

611
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:07.559
this is this behavior is very normal
to society, to people. This happens

612
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:09.719
all the time. We all know
that. When somebody breaks up, everybody

613
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:15.320
starts acting up and everybody starts using
the children as pawn and, as wrong

614
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:17.400
as it is, it's so wrong
and it's so fucked up, but it's

615
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:22.159
normal. Unfortunately, it's what happens
and we are just able to see it

616
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:27.400
because we're talking about people who live
their life in the spotlight. They share

617
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:30.840
everything, they share text, they
share that. You know, their life

618
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:36.039
is a reality show literally. So, yeah, they're used to sharing everything

619
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.000
and I'm sure we're not like that, I know. I'm just hoping that

620
00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:43.159
this dies down before it gets worse. I'm hoping that maybe Kanye falls in

621
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:46.559
love with someone who is able to
balance him out a little bit, because

622
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:53.039
right now it's really hot. This
situation is really hot, it's dangerous and

623
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:59.199
I just hope, I hope that
he, if he does need help,

624
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.400
that that his family is able to
help him and provide the help, the

625
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:07.920
professional psychiatric help, that that he
needs. And he's just doing this for

626
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:12.280
show, then good on him.
Then we're all caught up in maybe,

627
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:15.880
but you know, that's occasion.
I don't think this is funny. Yeah,

628
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.239
I don't think this is remotely funny, especially for these kids. You

629
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:22.400
know, words, some people say, yeah, but their kids are really

630
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.599
low. Yeah, I guess what, five years from now, these kids

631
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.280
are going to be able to access
all of this crazy ass shit that their

632
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:36.239
parents had, particularly one parent,
Aka Kanye, who it's embarrassing, like

633
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:39.119
it's not okay. Well, these
these kids. We need to give them

634
00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:43.719
a little bit more credit than people
are giving them, because they were born

635
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:45.960
on reality television, not by choice. That sent their choice. No,

636
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:50.239
it's not, but it is their
life. So the same way that it

637
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:52.440
wasn't your choice to be born to
the parents that you were born and to

638
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:57.880
the lifestyle that you were born,
but that's what it is and you embrace

639
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.360
it because those are your parents.
It's the only life that you know.

640
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:02.199
These are the parents, this is
the only life that they know. They

641
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:06.960
have a great life. They have
a loving, caring family. You're wrong.

642
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:12.039
They as parents, they need to
be more responsible for their children.

643
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:15.519
I think this. I think that
that is also relative. You are born

644
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:21.360
to the family that you're born in
into and you embrace it until you get

645
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:24.679
to an age where you're able to
understand it and then make a decision.

646
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:30.880
Then you choose whether or not you
want to stay with the beliefs that you

647
00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:32.559
were brought up in, with the
system that you were brought up in,

648
00:50:32.920 --> 00:50:37.079
or not. You know, it's
the same thing for all of us.

649
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:39.119
You know, like, for example, my parents took me and my sister

650
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:43.840
out to bars and pubs and because
that was the culture in Spain, and

651
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:45.360
when we came to this country,
Oh, you can't take your child to

652
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.840
the bar. It's it's all relative, but it's what you're born into.

653
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:54.519
What what nationality, what customs,
what traditions? And you embrace it,

654
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:59.320
if you have loving parents who care
about you, you embrace it until you're

655
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.559
able to make your own decisions.
So I think these kids were born into

656
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:07.320
a reality and to a reality show
literally, and they're going to understand that.

657
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:09.920
They're going to understand what that life
is about more than any of us

658
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:14.920
ever could, because that's all they
know. It doesn't make it any list

659
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.920
dangerous to their exactly mental health.
Right now, right, right, all

660
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:23.000
right, I'm starving. Yeah,
