Okay PSA over at start the show. Hi, I'm Brittany loose and welcome to sampler the show where we play you handpick moments from podcasts that you just have to hear. So today's show is pretty exciting. We have on Kid Fury and crisil host of the podcast the read so on the read every single week kif. You're in crisil just go through basically the gutter of pop culture and celebrity news and just make fun of famous people and About music and talk a lot about Beyonce the show is really funny. And it's also I think a little bit on the profane side. So if you have any children around I think now would be a good time to kick them out of the room or put on some earbuds. But this episode is going to be really special treat because you actually rarely hear the two of them together get varying Crystal outside of their show. So I feel really honored that they were able to come in to the game what Studios and sit down with me. So I'm playing a special podcast playlist today for the people who actually first inspired me to get into podcasting. Okay. Wow. Yes. That's Hugh Kid Fury and Crystal the hosts of the are you talking about I'm talking about y'all. I was like, oh this must be a really great show. It was like this is your life and the door opens up and people walked in and he's like some gorilla important show. No, it's y'all. Okay. Well, thanks very kind. So some of the things I love about you. Show is like you guys have all of these different commingling aspects like one of the big things that you guys talk about is celebrity gossip. So really quickly for listeners who may not be familiar with the read. We have a little clip of that particular aspect of your show. The Kardashians are total white trash and I've been saying this for like a decade and finally people are starting to see it because who does this your brother is now fucking with your can we just do Ooh that sisters ex best friends. I want to start there the mother of your teenage sisters boyfriends baby rocker - is must be dating Blac Chyna who had a baby with tiger who I think just broke up with Kylie Jenner. I don't know whatever either way what is utter garbage? And I am living for it. You guys also have the reads at the end of the show where you basically read a situation that you can it be said that you The situation that you're displeased with. Yes. Yes, if you want to explain colloquy. What I guess what I read is is just like it's a takedown. It's like just picking off every single thing that is not working or is like abhorrent about what somebody's doing and most fashion. Yes. Yes because it's literally be like you saying? Oh, it's so wonderful April day and I be like, it's mad girl like that. Sorry, too. Exactly exactly in the context of you guys to show you guys like, you know, you have these you have like a longer ring. Aunt yeah, but you guys are also politically and socially aware so you have this week in Black Excellence the top of the show which is a beautiful counteraction to everything else in the show where you pick usually a young person who's just doing something positive and doing something exceptional. Well, that's something that I did because we were always talking about black celebrities sniffing Coke and saying something stupid on social media or you know, horrible black relationships. Why black boyfriend's ain't shit Yeah, you know then we would read white people over mistreating black people. So it was just like there's no positive part of yeah, so let's talk about some really sickening super smart super talented black people and then we'll talk about the rest of that bullshit. So at least somebody can mention some good black Behavior or activity or topic is something nice, please it reminds me of like when I was a kid, I was in fourth grade we had to do. Do like current events or something like that you had to do like one a month or something and I used to always get mine from Jet Magazine together. Yeah, I used to only want to when I was a child get them from Japan from Jet magazine. And like one of the things I liked is that they had a list in the back of like when a black person was going to be on TV that yeah, and it was just like it was like something was like a signal boost and that's kind of how I feel about the this week in Black Excellence. You know that when you start the show, you're going to hear something that like a by person is doing that. Really exciting and fun one of my other favorite things about your show was that you guys have a segment where you guys answer listener letters. Oh boy, the thing I liked a lot about your listener letters is that they start off being about one thing and then they end up someplace else altogether and the first clip that I'm going to play for. You guys reminds me of exactly that it's from a Canadian podcast called the Crimson wave. The show is actually all about periods a crimson. In way the Crimson Way, I love it. Yes stood by just bully you and Natalie Norman and in this particular episode, they're interviewing a comedian named Ashley Muffet. So Jess and Natalie ask Ashley about her first period and Ashley shares this story from her middle school years. Oh God, I automatically feel so bad for her because I have been this girl. So I was in the sixth grade. And my friends after school, we went to Valley Park Community Center, which is in Hamilton where I grew up and we were all going to go swimming all my friends were there and I was wearing a yellow neon bathing suit and I was gonna get up front. This is weird because I think I've told you guys this yeah, I'll I don't know. I don't know them don't think so too and I go up to the diving board got a job to do gonna do a front flip. Really good at front flips. My family had a trampoline when I grew up. We are very affluent. Anyway, very privileged. Very good at front flips done in my whole life. So I'm ready to do this. And then I do my front flip in midair halfway through Peters your ray, who was my crush at the time yells out. Ashley shit her bathing suit Ashley shit her bathing suit and I was so horrified. So I just sank down to the bottom of the pool and I never came back up. I'm dead. Now. I'm not at this is we're doing this podcast podcast. I think the grave from the grave pans when I came back up. Okay, and then my friend Irene bless her swim over. And she was like, oh my God. No, I came out. Everyone's like laughing at me like, oh you shit your bathing suit. I just shit her bathing suit and I was so horrified Irene swims over and she's like Ashley. Do you have your period And I was like, yes. Yes, I do. Okay, I didn't okay, I shit my bathing Sil to the point to the point where you can see it through my My bathing suit, I don't know. I was really going for the fun Club. So I really went for it and I guess the force of it just so he Shimmer getting suit, but then I was like, yeah, you guys are assholes. I have my periods screw you guys and then everyone from that point on thought I had my period And I lied about it for two years. I didn't get my period until two years later and everyone thought that I had my period it was just me and Green eyes school who had our period but I didn't actually have my period and she would like, oh actually wanna can you lend me a tampon and I didn't forget know so I'm like, oh sorry girl. No, I'm wearing all three of mine story as I didn't know. Whoo. Oh my God. Sorry. You reminded me that it's Canadian real sorry, but that got me. Wow. What a mess. That's hilarious. That did not go where I thought it was a good. Yay, there's so mean the fact that she kept the LIE of for two years ago. I got me like some point where her friend is like asking her for tampons. And so I'm just gonna happen. How does this bitch never have tampons? We're the only two people with up here The Jig would have been up. Oh my God, you shit your pants, didn't you fucking liar? Amazing. I feel like that's the fear when you first get your period you're in middle school is you're just like everyone's gonna see it. Well, I'm not sure it's not it's just not as bad as shitting your pants. Yeah, both seem pretty horrifying right? Neither one is something you would like. Which would you choose over the other? No not desired outcome really bad, but there's just something about being a young girl and just getting used to your period and all that and the embarrassment of being in a swimming pool. But even at that age, I think You know having your period is less embarrassing than shitting. Yeah, uh, I see why she loved for so long. I do not see why she kept it up amazing. I just can't really so nice is good to acknowledge when you can't relate, you know, I do it all the time and from a lot of men including myself. I am mature in many ways. I think this is a soon as the topic period comes up. I'm just like and it's not that there's anything wrong with it. It's just I can't Imagine having to go through that first your whole life just like the majority of your life every month. Yeah God, it's really corny and now it just sounds like this whole cross is just have to bear because this is just who God made you and then on top of that man are horrible to you too. Just like somebody like you just have to die. I have to bleed anyway, so you will too that's how I'm looking at it. But again, this is have anything to do with me. Yeah, that was an election that I was not I did. In even know I didn't even know I was going to get it. So I appreciate that. So I want to keep moving in the direction of the surprise element another clip that follows that same line of thinking sort of like you think one things happening and then something else happens. Okay comes from a comedy podcast not a period podcast. So if you're going to be all right, I'm fine. Okay. Okay. I just don't want you to be stressed. I was worried. The next clip comes from a comedy podcast called Doug Loves movies. So it's hosted by Doug. And and he talks about movies with his friends and other comedians in front of a live audience. So his guests in this clip our actor Ben Schwartz. You might know him as Aziz ansari's best friend jean-ralphio on the sitcom Parks and Recreation and actress Noel Wells who actually played Aziz ansari's girlfriend in his Netflix show master of none. So they're all talking about the movie room, which is about a woman who is kidnapped and held in captivity for years, but the In takes an unexpected turn when one of the guests decides to share a shocking story. Oh Lord. Okay, but the first voice you're going to hear in the clip is Doug's what was the last movie you saw been in theaters? I think it was room. I think that was it which was which was maybe my favorite Batman Max my two favorite movies of the year. That's a good sampling room with sacraments outstanding. I loved it so much I cries. So I In blubbers save straight up bad word. I beg people to see it without paying any attention to anything about what they're about to see. Yes. I mean, you know, I didn't really know so I have a straight-up PTSD flashback and I didn't think I was going to have it. This is I'm gonna go deep about about the movie. Okay, so my I went with a friend and her dad had just recently died. I was like, oh, I don't know. Maybe it might be too touchy. Do you want to go and she's like, no it'll be fine. And then so I was kidnapped by my dad when I was 5 and And I don't and I use it. I talked I talked a lot about it like joke about it. And like I'm always like I'm totally fine. And then there's like supposed to compete against you tonight. You do these jokes as Bobcat Goldthwait I did my whole thing. Like I used to I used to tell people there's some think that I'd make instant friends would be like what happened cool and I'm like really Justin and nobody would everybody be looking at me like what's wrong with you? Like are you? Okay and I'm like, I'm fine you think do it again and then like one time in college, I told this guy that I got kidnapped and he got really excited. He's like, oh one time I saw a guy get hit by a car and died and I was like cool little quickie best friend. So the movie there's like a point in the movie where I was like, oh, this is such a good movie. It was so good and then I don't want to spoil anything but there's a certain moment where I was like I was like it was like PTSD and then I wept uncontrollably the whole movie like things like lightning was going through my braids and I couldn't get up because I knew I would scream so I was crying so hard, I guess what happened. Did your father roll you up in a carpet? And for sure, but it was it was it was like the Escape part it was like because it was like I really don't say anymore. Yeah, I can't enough. Anyway. Oh my God, shut up. Shut up. Shut up, or I'll put you in a shed. Oh my God know your audience. Anyway, the movie was real good. It was it was yeah. Thanks. Yeah. I don't why people joke about the weirdest. Shit, that is really dark. Right and I feel like you can laugh at anything if you know how to make it funny but that I couldn't that was really fun and I was laughing because she was like like the part about her going through life and try to seem adjusted and like being like yeah, like that was fast. That's funny. But the whole like the rest of his tent like that's so sad. No, the thing that got me about the clip the most was like comedian specifically always believe like you can make anything funny. Yeah. Don't you know about anything it's fine and you can hear them all kind of like okay. I'm trying to even hear them trying to make it funny. Yeah, because they're just so like what just feels like stress. She probably is still really traumatized. But yeah, she doesn't really seem all the way over it. But okay, it was funny. Yeah. I was definitely surprised time. I did not see that coming. Okay. So back to the surprise elements on your show. Do you guys like feel that sometimes in your listener letters because like I mean the ones I don't know what's in the inbox that we don't hear on the show, right? But sometimes I hear eyes on the show and I'm like people are like there's this guy like in my class and then it'll end up like, you know, but should I throw him down a garbage? Chute was just like wow, did he get her we get to this point a lot. Yeah lot of the emails are like that. Can you give me any examples of a listener letter that made you feel like the Doug Loves Movies clip like where you started off reading it and then you were like, what the fuck? How did we get here? I just feel like there are so many right. I feel like that that comprises of a pretty decent chunk the one with the girl from the cousin. Yeah, the girl who fucked her cousin dear care fear in Christ. Also last year around this time. I went to Kansas to meet some of my family on my mother's side for the first time and ended up having a girl and guy cousin my age. We all get along really well and hung out all weekend as I spent more time with my male cousin. However, I started getting the vibe that I only get from guys who try to date me. Oh, no, but I brush the feeling off and chalked it up to my paranoia. No nearly end of the weekends my cousins and I were drinking together. I'm actually gonna ask you to stop right there because I see what this is going after my female cousin went to bed. No, my milk hasn't immediately made a move on me. We ended up hooking up your life afterwards. I felt super guilty because okay you might need some water. Get some water right there in front of you, sweetie. And you almost killed my co-hosts. I really don't appreciate this. Oh afterwards. I felt super guilty because one we're faking related to I only hooked up with him because I was feeling lonely and he was so thirsty for me it became clear that he was she ended it by saying like now this new can't get enough for me. And I don't know what his problem is. It was like girl but wait because the issue wasn't I slept with my cousin it was now he's caught feelings. What do I do? I didn't like wait a minute girl, lets go back because you fucked your cousin like I'm still there. I did list that episode when I heard that was sooner letter for the first time. It just really made all of my life problems seem insignificant by comparison. Well, I have no I have no response to that. So I think it's actually time for a break. Okay? Yes. How are you guys feeling about about you what you've heard so far. I'm out of here. Yes. I am intrigued about what we're going to hear later. Well, I'm excited. So we're going to pause for a quick break and then we will be back with more of the read. This episode of sampler is brought to you by frame Bridge. So I have a thing in my life. That's really special to me that I have just totally neglected to get properly framed for years two summers ago. I saw this exhibit it was Kara Walker's a subtlety and the centerpiece of the exhibit was aiming 35-foot tall 80 foot long slave woman posed in a sphinx position and the whole sculpture was coded entirely in white sugar. It was meant to acknowledge. Slave laborers that built the sugar industry it was incredible and I wanted to take a piece of that experience home with me. So I bought a poster looking at that poster. It reminds me of my ancestors and I have it above my desk in my bedroom. But the thing is this super special poster in my bedroom is terribly frame. I just think it's disrespectful to put them in a $19 frame that I like. I've secured with Scotch tape. That's my own personal frame shame the one item I really want to frame.

Welcome back. Yeah here I'm hearing and Crystal still here. So before we play any more Clips, I wanted to go back and talk a little bit more about your show. So like on your show you guys you curse you get angry you obviously talk a lot of shit about famous people you guys talk the way that people actually do with your friends because you guys are friends right and like that camaraderie I think comes through really clearly in the show. I think that's a major draw for a lot of people I heard about this. Oh only a couple months after it first started coming out the idea of like just to buy people talking the same way that I talked at home was like I have like a really I had this office. I was going to call it intense. It wasn't even 10 cents office job. That was like dry dry as a good way to put okay, but it was so nice to be able to like listen to you guys talking while I was at my desk like maybe one day like I'll fly away but like you guys people tell us that they like talk back to us in the car and we just remind them of their Friends, so that was intentional at first, but I do like that about the Charlotte. It feels very familiar familiar and it feels like you're just sitting down talking with your friends because a lot of podcasts. I think we're trying to emulate the sound of radio and sound very, you know, well put together and stuff and neither one of us gave a shit. So we literally just went in there and just started talking you didn't think about money. You didn't think about doing live shows. We didn't think much of it. It wasn't until much later on that our producer. Chris was like, okay. We're going to bring these appetizers. I was like after this is it we're going to get checks for this. So it was like, you know, we never really went into it with like okay, we're going to do this show and it's going to be sickening. We're coming for all of the girls and it's going to be pop. You ready bitch. Okay, let's rehearse like we never we just go and sit in the studio and talk for three years. That's how it's because I did not think black people listen to podcast. None of the black people. I knew listen to podcasts and the only podcast I listened to his This American Life, so I was like, we're gonna start podcast and she is going to listen to this. It was just gonna be like a hobby type thing. He literally came to me was like so look we're going to go in the studio once and just talk you don't want to do it next week. We don't have to you don't have to is no big deal episode and talked for an hour. I think just about the weather. And Chris was like, oh I went ahead and cut that because it's a lot about the weather. Oh my God. It was our first winter in New York. Probably that file has been lost forever, but it was literal like 60 Minutes a bitching. So that bitching about the weather was like your first ever rant on the show. But since then you guys have had like many ramps and the classic one is obviously obviously say no fuck boys. Yeah. Oh God niggas who have no jobs niggas with felonies niggas with seven kids by 10 different bitches niggas whose dicks is covered in herpes and candy canes and dots and whatever the fuck else because they you fuck anything walking eyes out of the back of burgundy. Oh my God, nigga stacking cardboard boxes. Every fucking can't like I can't anymore and I've never been nice about people who are stupid. I don't suffer fools easily, but damn it. I'm over it. Like I cannot take it anymore. And when I say I'm a drag your ass and be done with you, that's exactly what the fuck I'm gonna do ladies. I encourage you to join me. We're not having this shit anymore. We don't have to fucking take it. Don't tell women what makes them not good enough to be wise. First of all who the fuck wants to marry you you have literally nothing like you bring nothing to the table. What do you bring to the table other than somebody else's kids get the whole fuck out of here, bitch. I really have been wanting to ask where Where did that even come from? I think that day I was just fed up with men on the internet who were making all these demands of women like constantly just all this like ladies you have to have this or you have to be this or if you don't have this you ain't and I'm just like y'all are the most do nothing to ask motherfuckers like how how dare you demand that a woman be anything when you offer nothing it Made me want to reiterate to women like just say no to these men who are doing literally nothing for you causing you nothing but stress like improving nothing adding no value to your life. Just leave them alone. Just cut them off. I don't care how good the dick is leave it alone like this because that's always what's hanging them hanging them up and in most of the listener letters. Yeah, you know the ones that are like, oh my boyfriend is so terrible. He's just the absolute words. He keeps cheating on me. He's got shit. He doesn't clean up my car insurance by thousands of dollars, but I love him or but he has these really good colonies to and I'm like because he takes you to town in the sack. That's what it always boils down to is. I'm just trying to get women to get past the dick and like look at the person. I actually went back and checked the fuckboys rant. It's like almost three years old at this point. Yeah. I remember exactly where I want to say. I will oh, Was freshly out. I mean like maybe seven to ten days out of a relationship when that came out. I remember where I live. I also had lost my job four days before then. Yeah, and so I was like in some type of way and I remember like hearing that on the train going. I don't know where I was going on have a job, but also headed somewhere and like you were naming. I think one of them was like your mom hates him your dad hates it your brother wants to beat his ass and then you hit this one where it was like he can't mix with white people you can't Bring him. You can't take him to a job function. I literally almost fell out and died because we all know that one that you cannot take in a professional setting they do not know how to turn on the white people feel to it. But I do not I do not know how to act in a setting where you need them to act right? Normally. I don't care. Yeah about how you act around white people. But if it's in a context of like my job, yeah or like something that I have to do in a professional capacity. I need you to be able to fake it with me. That's basic I'm training like You just can't do it. So there are why you even bother with him. You can't even take him to the job function. Well, I really I appreciate that. I honestly I truly needed at that point. It didn't really actually sink in if I really examine my own behavior. It didn't sink until probably about June or May of last year. But since then the course correction has been fantastic stuff. Amen. Amen. I'm so glad to do something for you. So I really enjoy the reads or the takedowns that you you do at the end of your shows, especially when you guys go in on somebody that I think really deserves it or a group of somebody's who really deserve it one that really stuck out to me was one you did like the week after the shooting of Michael Brown and the subsequent riots in Ferguson, Missouri. I'm going to play a little bit of that you'd be upset about the riding. You can be upset about diluting. I totally understand I would prefer for people down there to be in their homes and be safe, but I would also I prefer that white people would stop killing our kids for no goddamn reason. I would prefer that much more than a nigga stealing a damn Sony plasma out of Walmart that I would I would much rather not have to worry about whether or not some cop or some other random white man or woman on the street. It's going to shoot one of my younger brothers down in Miami, Florida for nothing or my dad or my mom or me, or you are Whom the fuck ever else just for being black? That's what the bigger picture here is whether you are two chains or Oprah, you are a nigga to these people and they're going to kill you if they get the chance and they're going to do what they can to cover it up and they don't even have to cover it up too much to get away with it as we've seen time and time again the reads where you talk about social justice issues are obviously the most powerful but it seems like those can just be like Like emotionally draining. How does that affect you sometimes I just can't do it like sometimes I am just so worn out from whatever happened that week like when there's just been one black death after another and then another police officer wasn't indicted. And then another sometimes I'm focusing on things that annoy me in a different way in a more personal way instead of something that is heavier and tougher like that because it's only so much of that I can take so It's not even that I find myself not wanting to talk about some of the harder topics. It's just that I know going there and staying in that frame of mind is going to put me like in a sadder place because it really gets to be a lot when you decide to pay attention to all the inequalities that are going on and every single experience of racial Injustice that makes the news it just gets to be like almost completely overwhelmed and don't wanna hear all that shit. I don't like honestly, It's a comedy show the whole purpose of the show was to be light and fun and comedic. It just so happens that all of these crazy things have been happening over the past few years and we knock on not talk about it. We would talk about it anyway, but it's also exhausting and neither of us feel this obligation to talk about something. I know plenty of people at home like to just be mad. I generally like to be in a good mood and if I am not in a good mood or if I don't feel like how Hornet somebody or whatever that week I'm just going to do whatever I can to stay sane and sometimes I don't want to cuss out no white cops. I don't want to cuss out no races politicians. I don't want to I rather just talk about why Chase Bank is really screwed up or something. That's just lighter and easier to deal with because I'm not gonna drive myself crazy. I don't even know how all of these activists how they do that every single day without like strong prayer and fellowship. Like I don't I can't me personally and I feel the same way. So it's Bouncing that feeling with also, you know really making sure that I'm not censoring myself like making sure I'm not avoiding topics that I do feel like should be talked about and I just don't want to put the energy into it like making sure I find the balance in between that so I want to actually take the conversation to something that we kind of been circling around which is music which is like a huge part of like anybody listen to your show. You guys love music. Yeah, and you have a certain artist that you love like we We featured you guys talking just talking about something Beyonce has made twice already on this show. So in this next clip, we're we're going to bring you to artists who you like to talk about on your show, Adele and Drake. So it's from this podcast called switched on pop which is a show that picks apart and examines pop songs. It's hosted by Nate Sloan and Charlie Harding and in this clip, they're drawing parallels between two of the biggest hits of this past year. Hotline bling and Adele's. Hello. So first of all, you're going to hear is Nate. There's a remarkable collision between these two songs. I mean, they're both kind of investigating relationships that are supposed to be over but there's some some lingering feeling there. There's not any closure. It's a rare thing to have two songs on the pop charts that so neatly parallel each other and both these tracks were hopping on the phone and reminiscing about the past Adele says hello from the other Other side I must have called a thousand times and Drake says you used to call me on my cell phone late night when you need my love we can stop right there because the phone is interesting right? It's like Drake song is very explicitly used to call me on my cell phone. Not my smartphone. Not you used to Snapchat me. You used to Skype me used to what's at me used to send me late night text. Just saying hey you up? Yeah, this is a cell phone. This is like at least what comes to my mind is like an early 2000 Nokia orange plastic phone with the antenna on which you could play Snake right? I think in doing that Drake sets this song in the past where this relationship rather you have this I think the same thing is happening in a Dell because you have this other anachronistic technology. I think she references a landline when she says when I I call you're never home. You're only never home if you're calling a landline. So both these songs are putting us in the past both by referencing a past relationship and by inserting this old technology playing on a sense of nostalgia. In both these songs, we've got two people who are truly hurt. They're trying to reach out and connect. I'm wondering I want to imagine a world in which Drake and Adele are actually speaking to each other. Ooh, I like this. Where is this going? Well, maybe they're both on the phone lamenting the relationships to each other. It's me. I was wondering after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything. Call me on my cell phone late night when you need my love. Well, I'm in California Dreaming about who we used to be. Did you ever make it out of that town? There was a girl at the city. You got a reputation for yourself. Now. It's so typical of me to talk about myself. I'm sorry these days. All I do is wonder if your Me over backwards you someone out. I forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet. You got exactly what you asked for. Yeah. I must have called a thousand times to tell you. I'm sorry that when I call you never seem to be home. She just be yourself right now. You're someone else but at least I can say that I'm trying how cute that was hilarious why people really we going deep like that was really hot. So even if you ever thought that hard about either one of those songs, both of them are pop records that were huge records, and that was that I mean, I would have never thought to draw that many parallels between those two songs Never. I don't think I would have just because that's what they both do like Drake always writes a song about some ex-girlfriend that he still kind of sort of loves and she kind of sort of wants him back now because he's popping and he kind of wants to get back with her but no because Brianna now and looks like that he does it and this is same thing with the day. It's just really somber and land right. I'm not a big Adele person just myself. Okay. I just I've never been able to fully get into I think she's really talented. I think she's great eye makeup. I think she said I just don't think she's it's just beautiful voice. I just can't I couldn't get all the way invested, but I know people are people are rabid for this woman and obviously people have Drake and her a lot of people who would love for them to collaborate. I just can't hear it. They're going to have to battle over who sings That's the first that I had who's crying? No, baby don't actually I mean I'm not going I would be curious about an Adele Drake collaboration just because like I'd listen to it because yeah exactly but if it happened I would be like, how why when what Israel looking like I might listen to a drake feature on an Adele song depending on the song, you know, I feel the opposite really I feel like I would listen to Adele like doing maybe some harmonies or some background on a Drake song and then yeah I can. Is don't want that just seems like something they would do just to do it because both of them are popping like a reason to make money. Yeah, like no, I don't think it does anything for money at this point. I mean publicity. It's never not enough. That's true. But she just she doesn't sell her life like the rest of the celebrity and I feel like she makes an effort to let people know that she's human like she goes to find the Target by his coloring books are her babies raising my child. No, I look a mess every day. I'm at the playground but she's a regular. I like that about her Drake is thinking about pouring champagne on strippers and then taking them home and praying with him and I like that too, but it just doesn't mean I just falls in love with every strip of a meets. I was just saying that he has a big heart. He does. I love Drake I do too. For some reason. I trust him like if I needed an opinion about something how I feel comfortable asking him. Like if you fell over on the street Drake would be like are you? All right. I help you. Yeah, like he would be concerned with like you're naive. Pretty in them, but also a little bit of a misogynist just a little bit of matter. But I also feel like Drake probably has like some real Scallywags to be trying to like drugged him and poke holes in his condom and set him up. Oh sure. He does. So a few girl drag Valley learn to be a little bit more Discerning. Yeah, Sally laughing his house, right? Absolutely speaking of celebrity relationship. Advise you guys that actually brings us to our very last clip. So last clip is going back to you know, just the elements that I bought the beginning the surprise and Delight is no like it's not just hope it doesn't involve bodily fluids. No, actually, it doesn't Okay first I had to pause and be like you to think about it. I did have to think about it. So this is from the podcast on a ferris is unqualified. So in the show actress Anna Faris interviews, Famous people and she also Doles out love and relationship advice that she won't she claims. She is totally unqualified to give up. I'm not about to stop liking on a first so her guests in this episode. Laura is Shaquille O'Neal. Oh, so Anna and her producer / co-host Sim sarna are interviewing Shack and as they talk to him. We actually start to hear like a more vulnerable side of Shaquille O'Neal. Do you remember your first crush growing up? Yes, my firt first world Crush first real class. Okay, so Crush where I was able to make the overt act and make this woman my girlfriend or just or just single girl crush. Okay doing both. I'd love to have my first crush. I was in fourth grade and Fort Stewart juge Fort Stewart, Georgia. And the reason why Reservoir no was a crush because the first time I felt the Woody hmm to like every time I see this girl, I guess yes, I would see this girl and I get so excited. Like I'd had these sweatpants on I look down and my little man will be poking out and just I just love this girl and this is around the time that Lionel Richie song if he wants. Twice three times. It's like I was I would see the girl that song will play in my head. I would get a little Woody and I never talked to this girl name was Erica Ford Fort Stewart. Georgia of My First Crush are Erica for yeah, not my first crush that I you able to be over at acting tell her I had a crush on her make her my girlfriend. That's probably was I have a lot of got my probably was my high school girlfriend named was a lot of Howard. So I went to a small school and all the girls are all. There everybody knows your name a lot of this. Excellent. My school was 329 kids 9 through 12. This is in San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas graduating class 39 people. So anyway, there's only a couple hot girls in school, but they were taken and we get this new girl who comes in from Alabama tall slender. She's hot everybody's out to her, but she's like she's playing hard to get she doesn't want anybody her mom's very Rick so I'm always there and always make her laugh and then finally I said I have a crush on you. She said good I've been waiting for you have a crush on you too, because at the time before she came I didn't have a prom date. I'm the number one player in the country don't have a girlfriend no car. No prom date. I'm just and I am the big V by the way look just about so I wasn't doing anything and I look at this girl when nobody's around, you know, just get the balls to say have a crush on you and she said I've been waiting for you have a crush on you, too. - we got amazing did that you'd marry another you didn't have a prom date. It's not that you it was by choice. I'm sure because he was the number one player in the country. You had women throwing themselves at you. Never know. Really? Yeah, and it's funny like, you know people used to say, oh when you get into the NBA you going to have girls wait in the lobby throwing themselves like I've never seen it. Ah, sad, okay. I actually felt bad for kind of feeling like that was going to be first of all, that's a stone-cold lie. And what's a lie shakes has certainly seen a lot of groupies in his Heyday like I don't believe that was right. You've never seen girls lining up for you. I mean secure why he's on TV talking about this. So that part is dating Hoops. You just dated moves. Oh my gosh Hoops introduce her. Self to the world is a groupie Flavor Flav at that. Yes made out with flavorful on National Television for years like years took her on TV. She's put on like leave. You never had groupies, sir. Stop the lies. Okay. Sure. Stop it. That part was clearly bullshit with the runs. That was cuter than I thought it would be. Yeah, that was kind of the Woody part. I could he drive a cab that yourself you could have just said that was the first time I knew I was attracted to somebody. Those actually rely like kept trying to figure out like well, how else do you describe that like that? And why did he sound like he's a hand just like finish smoking five Blunts and was awaiting the cough. He did have like a little like you to clear your throat brother because you just kind of a little Gravelly. I got no water in there for you, but you never wanna hear from this sack the sack that is that was adorable. It was so sorry if you had any relationship advice for Shaquille O'Neal. Oh, no. Okay. Well, what would it be? Probably don't whatever you thank you. Literally going to favor just don't whatever decision you thinking about to make as a regards to women. Just don't do it. Stop dating these little young hot like bodycon dress wearing girls. Stop it. Stop it. Now that there's anything wrong with that but like you needed a whole world whole her whole wardrobe is Buddy, huh? It's time to enemies little free before eleven girls.
