So I found out this week that Sharon Osborne adopted her 11th Dog, Zippy, from Texas.
Unknown Speaker 0:09
Oh, wait, Where does she live?
Ah, I don't know. Probably California.
Unknown Speaker 0:17
But I guess the article is kind of clickbait because it's like the 11th dog, like in their family group. But then I read through the article, and she has six dogs on her own. And I don't know if you ever watched but there was just like shit all over their house. Yeah, it's just I thought it was gross.
Unknown Speaker 1:05
So these are like, concurrent coexisting dogs. Yeah, like all at once. Mm hmm. Damn.
Unknown Speaker 1:13
Yeah. And I don't know what your the show came out. I guess I should have looked that up. But I just remember them cleaning up poop all the time. Yeah. And
Unknown Speaker 1:21
I remember, I think the camera that they like blurred out on the show. And I think though, remember, Ozzy just being like, Sharon, fucking dog vision. Ah, why? Like, I don't know if you live like that. I don't. Why would you broadcast? Like, I don't know. That I have like a cat box that has poop in it. But like, it's in one controlled area. And not just like in random place.
Unknown Speaker 1:50
Yeah. Like, poop in the middle of your floor? That you'd be like, Oh my God. Let me clean this up. Like
Unknown Speaker 1:57
I think there was another like celebrity couple on Wife Swap that, uh, just let her pet shut all the
Unknown Speaker 2:04
fucking gross. Yeah, so regular Wife Swap where they had all these animals in the house, including a kangaroo. They just like shit on the floor. All of them. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 2:14
even the people. Like in that circumstance, there would be some waffle stampers
Unknown Speaker 2:23
No, that's what the pools for. Welcome to nervous laughter
Unknown Speaker 2:31
This is our kind of New Year's episode. You know, kinda like this is before the holidays, but it's gonna count post holidays. So it's kind of like a post tall lady New Years. Just chillin kind of show.
Unknown Speaker 2:46
I have some good news. To start off with. Well, other people may not agree, but I know you would agree. So I was talking about the Osbornes I used to think that Kelly Osborne was like, really cool. Cuz she came here and I was like, I'm gonna be like her. Fuck, my parents might die my hair. And that's still where I am today. I remember she covered Papa don't preach. And I remember like thinking it was so fucking cool. When I was a teenager. I was like, this song is so good. I listened to it. It does not hold up. It fucking sucks. turned it off. It's not good. I don't think
Unknown Speaker 3:30
I've ever heard that song. I don't know why but it sounds like it'd be have really weird subject matter to me. Yeah. It's
Unknown Speaker 3:36
Madonna originally sang it in the 80s I believe. And it's about a girl that gets pregnant. And she wants to keep the baby and her family's like, no, don't have this baby. Like You're young. You're gonna ruin your life. And then Kelly Osborne covered it like in the early 2000s. I don't know why. But it sucked. And then I found that she has a podcast and that's the good news. Our podcast is way fucking better. Really? It's not good. Yeah, I only listened to about 15 minutes. And in that 15 minutes, there were multiple ads. And they just kind of like put them wherever, you know, somebody was mid sentence and it was like boom, ad. Oh, and I even picked a good one. It was a they had dog face or for 20 dog face. Cranberry skateboard. Yeah. He was on there. And it was cool hearing him talk a little bit about his experience. But Kelly and her host are just
Unknown Speaker 4:39
they were not good. She was also like, wasn't she also on 4040 or whatever that show is 2020
Unknown Speaker 4:49
I don't know. No one of the top 4040 Yeah, those are common numbers.
Unknown Speaker 5:00
Um, yeah, I know that she said some not good stuff on there and oh shit.
Unknown Speaker 5:06
I should have researched that. Yeah. Okay. Sure thing. I'm gonna break that down right now.
Unknown Speaker 5:12
But yeah, you still think she was super cool and stuff too but maybe I don't know her enough as a person now but she kind of just seems like
Unknown Speaker 5:21
she lost weight and that's like seems to be her whole personality. Yeah she
Unknown Speaker 5:24
kind of, you know, obviously everyone knows who your dad is so it just kind of like a trickle down kind of go with the flow.
Unknown Speaker 5:33
Yeah, their podcast. I think it's with another fitness guy. And they had a couple episodes about like, healthy stuff. I was like me. And she said that they were on like the top 20 podcasts. I was like, What the fuck ours is way better. And they're
Unknown Speaker 5:52
like and subscribe.
Unknown Speaker 5:54
We're gonna be taking Kelly Osborne down
Unknown Speaker 5:57
for you. But if Kelly if you want to be on our show, and help get us through, Kelly she's not doing an MLM cool. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 6:12
I mean, I don't actively dislike her. But her podcast was not good. Some work. Yeah. And they just released it sporadically. And she said they're still in the top 20 I was like, what?
Unknown Speaker 6:24
Why should we try to be consistent and damn it?
Unknown Speaker 6:30
Our dad should have been fucking famous.
Unknown Speaker 6:33
I feel like I wouldn't have gotten any more attention that way.
Unknown Speaker 6:41
It didn't want to be on the show.
Unknown Speaker 6:43
I'd still have all the problems I have now but more money. It would be better.
Unknown Speaker 6:51
We belong to
Unknown Speaker 6:55
you remember that really bad. Mariah Carey? New Years? Sharada. Me and Alyssa watched it just before we started recording and Oof. If you aren't earlier, yeah. Mariah Carey was invited to do a New York, New York. New Square Times Square. New York Minute. Um, she was doing like a time squared show and
Unknown Speaker 7:28
marks thing. Yeah, his ball dropped Huawei,
Unknown Speaker 7:32
the Huawei Suarez. Oh, I don't think I've ever tried to say that word before soiree swag. A swag. A probably it was soiree, but like Soiree. No, I think that's right. I've just never tried to say more until now. So it's just I don't think my mouth has let movements down. So, boy, we found out thanks to Alissa's Hard Knock research that um, I don't think I use that word correctly. Hard Knock research.
Unknown Speaker 8:04
It's a hard drive for Jamie when she does that now don't expect me to use any words right? And please don't say Please don't hit me that's why it's really
Unknown Speaker 8:37
so yeah, words are hard today like they're every day but I'm like so Alyssa is awesome research. We found out but Mariah is like she couldn't hear anything in her earpiece, which like, if you're performing on stage in a very loud loud area it's very important to hear what's going on in here
Unknown Speaker 8:59
yourself. Number two told us this yes,
Unknown Speaker 9:03
we didn't. Oh, no. Cover number one. Oh, shit.
Unknown Speaker 9:05
Yeah, permit number one. My carpet. I never Yeah. He walked
Unknown Speaker 9:09
out and he was like, Yeah, well, it's hard because this this and that. And like, Okay, well, I need to cut her some slack.
Unknown Speaker 9:14
Yeah, when we first watched it, she looked kind of pissed. And she had a weird, I don't know, it was odd. And we thought that she was just like, fuck it. I'm just gonna walk around the stage. Yeah, I'm in my fucking carry. Look at me. She looks very nice. By the way. She's very nice. Lovely. But yeah, then we found that out her backup dancers. I did find them a little bit cringe in the video, not because of what they were doing. Like they were great. But Jamie said it best. They looked like New Year's Eve gentlemen, like crushed velvet purple coats, but their choreography. didn't really seem to fit. And it seemed like two different
Unknown Speaker 10:03
acts to me. Yeah, it kind of seems like so I don't know if she was supposed to have more vibrant things that she was doing that would go along with it. But it was very much like, she's standing here. And we're kind of just doing stuff around her sort of
Unknown Speaker 10:21
ish. It was weird. I mean, they did good. They kept trying to save the performance, but there's really no saving. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 10:30
I recommend checking it out. If you guys haven't seen it yet. It's it's just yeah, it's very uncomfortable. And you could tell that she wanted to get off the stage like, right away her. Yeah, I don't. I would have just walked off halfway through or started crying. Like I would have definitely cried like right at the end when I got off the stage.
Unknown Speaker 10:54
Yeah, that was bad. And then Jamie showed us another one. The Twitch streamer ninja
Unknown Speaker 11:00
ninja. Yeah. So ninja also went on to like a little time square thing. And he wanted to get I was reading a little bit about it. And it sounds like he was he wanted to get like 1000 people to like, do that dance at the same time. Last. Yeah. So he was like, what to like, I guess kind of hyped girls. And they're like, Yeah, let's do it. And so he starts flossing. And he's like, Yeah, everybody, let's do it. And then he goes up to this like, platform, where he can like see the crowd better, I guess.
Unknown Speaker 11:31
And it's just him. He's like, damn, so Lawson. And he's like, Alright, guys, let's
Unknown Speaker 11:37
do it. And nobody in the crowd. I was gonna
Unknown Speaker 11:41
be generous and say like, four people. Did. They showed a couple?
Unknown Speaker 11:45
Yeah. I feel like those were like, close ups. Oh, have a crowd somewhere else.
Unknown Speaker 11:53
Like whenever they put it in after,
Unknown Speaker 11:56
cuz like when they showed it when he moved to that single platform and was kind of like zoomed out. I didn't I don't think I noticed anyone in that crowd in front of him. Moving. No. It was Why do you want us to floss our teeth? Um, yeah, so those were a couple of just like Times Square Kurinji things that I wanted to share with you guys.
Unknown Speaker 12:27
The floss? Dance thing makes me laugh. It's just like so stupid. Like my old coworker Robbie, that I don't know if he still listens if you do. Hi, Robbie. Is a little girl and he would like do stuff to fuck with her kinda Oh yeah, he would like do boss and stuff. And she'd be like, stop it. Dad. Tell me about it. I always thought it was really funny.
Unknown Speaker 12:55
If I have a kid, I think I'm definitely gonna just be embarrassing them a lot. I'm both on purpose and not on purpose. Yeah, if you want to hang out with me, you gotta get with my courage magnet last fall.
Unknown Speaker 13:15
It will last forever.
Unknown Speaker 13:21
Um, and something that me and Alyssa also want to do on the podcast. Today we got each other some nifty gifters um, so we're gonna go ahead and just open those with and just share that moment with you guys. Um, do you want to go first? Or should I go first?
Unknown Speaker 13:39
Um, you can go first if you want. Part of Jamie's present isn't here. So this isn't very exciting. And I made her an ornament that already gave her Yeah, it was like I'm a cheap gift giver.
Unknown Speaker 13:53
It's beautiful. It's a it's a cross stitch and it has me and carboy number one's name on it and just like a couple little missile
Unknown Speaker 14:03
Oh, maybe I shouldn't take a picture of you holding up the bag because I like this bag.
Unknown Speaker 14:08
And I put makeup on Yeah, this is a super cute bag. If you want it back after let me know okay. I recycle all of my oh
Unknown Speaker 14:18
my to back I'll be keeping this for the next 10 years. Oh I thought you smell bad so I got a soaps
Unknown Speaker 14:31
you do this one smells good. This is a hemp soap. Oh, and it's it's local to Oh, graveyard Oh, school. It was this one smells really good.
Unknown Speaker 14:43
The person well, I don't remember her name. But she's imagined soap and she's here. It's up
Unknown Speaker 14:49
the top. Imagine Yeah, imagine soap UI and imagine tea. We also have tea I guess.
Unknown Speaker 14:54
But the tea incense featureless candles too.
Unknown Speaker 14:59
Oh, okay. Yeah. to check them out more but one is a like rosy this disproves
Unknown Speaker 15:06
the bag they're in got wet so if you can't read the labels that's why
Unknown Speaker 15:10
gave me a ruin but yeah so what this one's one is called graveyard and it's like I don't know if you guys have ever seen like the soap loafs that have like, the decorations on top it looks like a cake, but that's kind of like what this is. It has a cool fucking skull on the top one has a weed leaf on it.
Unknown Speaker 15:32
Controversial
Unknown Speaker 15:35
and then there is. Ooh, from the same place midnight Margarita. Oh, sweet. Wait, is this a it's a scrub? Yeah, cool. My salt scrub is almost out. So yay. Perfect timing.
Unknown Speaker 15:49
I think she puts what are they called? Like crystals in there too. So it's magical.
Unknown Speaker 16:00
Sorry, I keeps like smelling it like back and forth. So that's like my response to getting something that smells good. One time my mom went to a candle store and we were sniffing so much candles. And then one of the times we just like put her faces together instead of like, because we kept like putting up a candle and like smelling at the same time. We like put our faces together was like alright, I think we smelled like too much candles.
Unknown Speaker 16:29
Brain damage from Yankee Candles.
Unknown Speaker 16:31
It was a Yankee Candle store. I'm gonna smell the margarita. Ooh, it's like a whipped thing to Ooh. And it has a cute little line. What? I want to eat it.
Unknown Speaker 16:46
You probably could. It looks pretty natural.
Unknown Speaker 16:51
Oh, yeah. It's kinda reminds me of that video you sent me the chick eaten the lush sample. So this guy
Unknown Speaker 17:00
had samples out at Lush. And a lady walked up to the table and she's like, Oh, samples and just automatically puts it in her mouth in his face was so funny. He's like, it's so yeah,
Unknown Speaker 17:12
he's just like, Oh my God, you're about to regret that. But I wonder how it tasted cuz from you might not get like too bad of a thing.
Unknown Speaker 17:22
Yeah, it may not be too chemically, but probably not good.
Unknown Speaker 17:26
Yeah. Well, thank you. I'm super excited to use these. I can't decide if I want to use it for my body or my hands. Oh, I might use it for my hands. Because they That's
Unknown Speaker 17:37
why I asked you if you use bar soap because a lot of people don't use bar soap anymore, which is that's all I use to me. Body Wash is weird. I feel like it never comes off.
Unknown Speaker 17:48
I don't know. Yeah, like I think it just kind of like the pins because like I I stopped using bar soap for a long time because it felt like it never came off to
Unknown Speaker 17:56
my sister says but
Unknown Speaker 17:58
I don't. I don't know. It's all about the brand Baby
Unknown Speaker 18:02
bar soap crew. Let us know if you like bar soap.
Unknown Speaker 18:05
Yeah, maybe we'll make our own. Okay, okay. So it's a weird little mix of stuff. Okay. That's what just came in.
Unknown Speaker 18:18
So it's an ornament. It has a Ryan from the office the hot intern. Like a little cut out. This has my favorite branch doing.
Unknown Speaker 18:32
And I liked that one because it was gonna hang on a branch. So it's like, ah, oh, nice. I like it. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 18:41
is this the stuff you use?
Unknown Speaker 18:45
I feel like it's such a weird Good.
Unknown Speaker 18:47
Try. I have here laundry detergent liquid lists eco sheets. Me and Jamie are both hippies and like to use.
Unknown Speaker 18:58
I don't know, natural stuff. Waste
Unknown Speaker 19:02
deuced the waste stop using plastic straws.
Unknown Speaker 19:06
So yeah, these are the sheets that you can use for like laundry detergents. And the package that comes in is also biodegradable. So I'm going to open it up a nice touch. You get a gift of laundry.
Unknown Speaker 19:25
Oh, this will tie in later with some female stereotypes that I'll be talking about. We got oh hell yeah. Yay. I fucking love Yes. Okay. So it's a koozie of Jonathan Vanness. And it's what are these things? It's like the Catholic Sacred Heart
Unknown Speaker 19:50
was a holy thing. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 19:53
We'll put a picture of everything on Instagram. That's amazing. I love Jonathan. I can't wait for the new season a queer had to come out. I know
Unknown Speaker 20:00
and it's an Austin so I'm like triple excited. So good. Yeah, they Yeah, I need to watch it again just pulled me out of my seasonal depression.
Unknown Speaker 20:10
Yeah, me too. I was thinking about that the other day like it's just so wholesome. It is such a good show I almost got one of these today.
Unknown Speaker 20:27
When I was up there and I was like, Please don't look at those. Alyssa.
Unknown Speaker 20:31
I love these. Say it's a candle that has Dwight from the office. And it's he's also like, portrayed as a Catholic saint Hell yeah. He thank you so much. Yeah, it's
Unknown Speaker 20:44
one of those Paul candles. Yep.
Unknown Speaker 20:47
Yeah, I was looking at these the other day, not the celebrity ones, but like the actual like Catholic candles. I used to always get them because I thought they were kind of creepy and cool. Like, they have a candle and it's a hand and there's a big slice, you know, like, oh, crucifixion. Oh, crucifixion. Am I saying that right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. It didn't sound right. Yeah. It's just like, the bloody hand on the candle.
Unknown Speaker 21:16
Do you? That's pretty metal. Like kind of? Yeah, yeah. That's why I would get them. I'd say they nailed it. Thank you. Yay. I'm glad you like it. Because as I started putting, like, all my friends gifts together, I was like, this is a really weird mix.
Unknown Speaker 21:36
But it's awesome. I like that company that makes those koozies and candles and stuff. Yeah, they were at the Art bazaar. Today, they went to, which was pretty packed. It was Oh, my God. It's awesome. And I went last year, and I guess because of COVID. They limited the amount of people but this year
Unknown Speaker 22:00
was fucking crazy. They did not give a fuck.
Unknown Speaker 22:03
No, people were up our butts the entire time.
Unknown Speaker 22:07
And like, half the people were not wearing masks. And yeah, yes, bitches. And there was lots of kids. Lots and lots of kids.
Unknown Speaker 22:18
There was one mother and daughter and I think I think she had a little boy too, right? I don't know if that was a different parent. There were so fucking I don't know. But she was telling her girl, her little girl.
Unknown Speaker 22:34
look with your eyes.
Unknown Speaker 22:35
And she just kept saying that. It's funny. All these things that are made by actual artists. I mean, it's not like Target. It's unique shit. Yeah, there's kids all around putting their nasty hands on everything. And they want to be loud. Yeah, there's
Unknown Speaker 22:51
lots of glass, lots of breakable stuff. And it's like the booth spaces are pretty small. So there's like, Florida's like, not sealing because it didn't go that high, but for the full height of the booth. So like kids can reach everything. And all the booths are like super close together. So it's like, if you bump someone I hope they're stable.
Unknown Speaker 23:15
Yeah, I mean, we saw stuff that was up to probably $250 I don't know if I saw anything more than that. But little kids to be just like pollen all over that. Not cool. And then my home. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 23:28
And the lady that was like, touch with your or Yeah, touch with your eyes, honey, or look with your eyes. Um, her kid, just like I was looking at like this little table of jewelry. And then the kid just like has her hands like down by your side. But she's like leaning all over the table and pushing on it. I'm just like, What the fuck? And then the moms like, Oh, honey, stop pushing, stop leaning on the table. And then
Unknown Speaker 23:52
leaning on it like full body way. And granted, she's a kid. But I mean, it's a table and you're leaning on one side of the chamber. And if I had to
Unknown Speaker 24:00
assume it was probably one of the cheaper like plastic. Yeah, how to cover
Unknown Speaker 24:03
your card table or something. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 24:05
so that just kept making me really nervous because I was like, something's gonna break. I'm gonna like back over a child. Because it's kind of one of those weird things to where everyone's kind of like waiting to see the booths. Everyone's kind of like standing in the middle of the aisles. And then, people will also just, like, try to assert themselves like that mom that came up behind me. The daughter kept like running around. She's like, Oh, hold on, honey. Mommy's looking at this and she was like, directly behind me and I was like, I guess I'll take that as a cue to scoot down. I don't know. Like there is space right next to me. So I didn't I was just felt confused. And I was like, I'm just gonna go to this other booth and then they kind of like tailed me over there. And I'm like, Ah,
Unknown Speaker 24:51
yeah, like maybe felt like the same people were just my but the entire time and then I didn't I I've hated this even since before the pandemic. I don't want strangers to be close to me. I don't like it. No. Yeah, same part of it. I guess it's also kind of like, are you gonna like pickpocket me? Why? Why do you need a board? Gross? Yeah. So I would be looking at something, somebody would climb directly up my butt. And so I'd be like, I don't want to, I don't want you up there. So I would walk away and look at something else. And then I would see that they would move. So I would go back to looking at it, and then somebody else would come up and do the same thing. So I finally just had to just stand there. So it's like, okay, there's no escaping anybody, no matter where I go. Like,
Unknown Speaker 25:42
they're everywhere. Yeah, next year, we're
Unknown Speaker 25:44
gonna have to go back like, yeah, Monday at 10am.
Unknown Speaker 25:50
When children are in school, or something, I didn't
Unknown Speaker 25:53
even think about it being Saturday and it being busy. I just was like, Oh, we're getting there early, you know, whatever. But yeah,
Unknown Speaker 26:00
I thought it would be fine, but
Unknown Speaker 26:02
we're both traumatized. Yeah, we got some cool shit though. Yeah, super cool. Shit. It was worth it. If we don't dive the Rona.
Unknown Speaker 26:09
Yeah, I spent a little more money I think when I usually would, but it was all local stuff. So I was like, Yeah, you know? Feels feels better spending more money that way. For sure. Oh, and I got a tiny play with my fist, and
Unknown Speaker 26:28
I think she's so pumped about the plate.
Unknown Speaker 26:31
It's just a super Yeah, just little tiny plate looks like it's for like, after you stir your coffee. You set it down. And then yeah, it's just it reminds me of like a Waffle House House plate but miniature and it's very cute. I'm super stoked about it.
Unknown Speaker 26:46
I think they were calling them like vintage butter plates. I guess. I'm like a fancy place setting you would have a tiny plate for like, butter.
Unknown Speaker 26:54
I don't know. Oh, but but might start collecting miniature plates now.
Unknown Speaker 27:05
That's gonna be your thing. After you're 30 you're like, This is gonna be my adult collections. This little plate
Unknown Speaker 27:11
goals and miniature plate.
Unknown Speaker 27:16
Oh, speaking No. Present. Yeah. Good segue team.
Unknown Speaker 27:21
Yeah, we must upper segue. Speaking of presence, you get toys for presence and
Unknown Speaker 27:30
armies for Christmas. Yeah, Barbies.
Unknown Speaker 27:35
I have before you get into your incredible research. The only Barbies are the only memories I have with Barbies is I had some Spice Girl Barbies. And I wanted those
Unknown Speaker 27:48
I never had. Awesome jealous. Oh, did you have all of them?
Unknown Speaker 27:53
I think we were only missing one. Or two. Yeah, cuz I have two sisters. So it makes sense if we got three of the five. Um, and then also, we have a regular, like a Barbie and kin kind of thing. And then I just remember we swapped their heads and buried them and buried them
Unknown Speaker 28:20
no safe in your house anymore. What are you gonna do to me?
Unknown Speaker 28:24
I don't know. But that's that's how we had fun as children we I'm just it's just If anyone finds that like
Unknown Speaker 28:37
social scary. So it wasn't a military
Unknown Speaker 28:39
housing. I think so. Like, no one's gonna like own the house and be there long term around the yard probably. But like finding two Barbies with our head swap. I'd be like, This is fucking weird. Yeah, that will be creepy. Yeah. And now, if I come across anything like that, I'm gonna be like, This is normal. I shouldn't be worried about anything.
Unknown Speaker 29:05
That is gonna actually be like witchcraft. But made me think of a memory of doles. We've played with some neighbor kids and one of them was a bitch for some reason, she took one of our dolls. It may have been a Kindle, and like, touched it in some dog poop. And me and my sister were really upset Do you she Yeah, fucking bitch. I don't remember what happened to the doll after if they like cleaned it up. My parents did or we just throw it away. I don't know.
Unknown Speaker 29:44
Why she just like playing with it be like, Oh, look at this piece of dog poop. I'm kidding. I'm
Unknown Speaker 29:49
gonna. I don't even remember. I just remember it happening. And then my parents found out about it and they already didn't like her anyway, then they're pretty much Like you're done. Her name was Laura Sue. Oh called. Yeah, really rare name. And then another neighbor kid, we're all jumping on the trampoline. And he just decided to like pee on the fence. Oh, yeah, it's gross. I don't know why I'm remembering these things right now. But I feel
Unknown Speaker 30:24
like for little boys, that's just like a normal thing that they do. Yeah. And so like, I could see a little boy hanging out with his friends. And then just doing that and not even thinking like, Oh, these are girls. I shouldn't take out. Peter. Peter on this podcast. This is a good Christian podcast. Use the correct anatomical terms like the good duck divided on the podcast, but I know you're really new. So that correct. Or the anatomical term that we were given for vagina when I was jamming? You and she stuck it kind of motion? Um, okay. Got to put them in timeout. Oh, okay. Hi. I'm so sorry about that. It's like they. So they do that like sometimes. But it's like, when you're hearing they like do it more. It's like Aerith is like I show off. Um, but what were we
Unknown Speaker 31:47
oh, the name that your parents gave you. Said I don't want to ruin it.
Unknown Speaker 31:51
So the anatomical name that we were given for vagina. Sorry, for all the suspense was a front but
Unknown Speaker 32:01
it was a friend but um, so I don't. Luckily, I think I knew that wasn't the term before I saw that word in front of like other people.
Unknown Speaker 32:18
My friend but Ah, okay, so sorry. We got we got derailed there too. So before
Unknown Speaker 32:26
I got a bar before, Chris, yes. Circling back to that. So I did countless hours of research on Barbies. Yesterday, for some reason. I listened to a podcast, I did a lot. Um, the way that it got started, was on tick tock, as I spend lots of my time. And this 1999 Millennium a Barbie popped up. And this person was talking about the doll and some different features and stuff. And you know, it was the one that came out in the year 2000. And then I went on their account, and they just had fuckin countless Barbies. I guess Barbie started doing holiday Barbies in 1988. So they would put one out every year. So they had this whole collection of all these Barbies, and then they started showing some other ones that weren't holiday. And then I remembered that there are a bunch of really cringe Barbies that got pulled from the shelves and so I thought that would be a great topic for us to talk about
Unknown Speaker 33:40
so excited. Cuz I only know I think I only know about like one super cringy Barbie. Oh man, there's so many I'm going to try to not talk for like five hours. Okay, so a brief little history about Barbie. She's had more than 200 careers, including paleontologist Desert Storm, a medic. Whoa, Canadian, melty. McDonald's cashier zoo doctor, business executive, and regrettably rapper for rapper Barbie. Yeah, so
Unknown Speaker 34:16
in she's a boss, baby.
Unknown Speaker 34:19
Yeah, in 1991 they released rockin rapper Barbie. And she had like a golden chain. No Yeah, the gold chain and she came with a little boombox and the box said dance with Barbie to the gym and beat
Unknown Speaker 34:41
Did it have a song with it too?
Unknown Speaker 34:43
It didn't. Okay. Didn't
Unknown Speaker 34:47
drew the line somewhere. Yeah. Oh, and
Unknown Speaker 34:50
another creepy thing about Barbie and kin. The person that created the doll I guess it was a dad and he named Are we in kin after his kids, which is kind of weird because Barbie and Ken are like a couple? Yeah, the doll world. Yeah, that's a little weird. So we'll start at the beginning with the first controversy. So in 1963, babysitter Bart baby sitter Barbie, which actually looks like a really badass doll, and I would love to have babysitter Barbie.
Unknown Speaker 35:24
Okay, so nothing sounds bad about that. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 35:27
until we get to the book that she came with. Oh, baby sitters
Unknown Speaker 35:32
club. No,
Unknown Speaker 35:35
it was a book about how to dye it. And then when you open up the book, it said don't eat. Why? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 35:48
Why? Like, I feel like I don't have anything else to say. Yo,
Unknown Speaker 35:53
I saw I saw a picture of his Yeah, this is donate. And then two years later in 1965. Barbie has her book with her still how to lose weight. And she's now sleepover Barbie. And one of the things that she takes with her to the Slumber Party is a pink scale that's permanently set to 110 pounds. Oh, if you're more than 110 pounds, obviously you're gross.
Unknown Speaker 36:22
Well, I'm disgusting. Filthy Oh, god. Okay, I feel like I need time to process this but I feel like you have a lot more to go through.
Unknown Speaker 36:35
I'll read one more thing about that one. So Barbie, you know with her proportions, she would have been five nine. So 110 pounds on a five nine woman that's calculated to be 35 pounds underweight? Whoa, damn. Yeah. So this is just the beginning of Barbie. People start looking at her and they're like, oh shit, maybe we shouldn't be encouraging kids with like, their appearance so much. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 37:09
I still can't get over the fucking book. Like how did that ever get like, pass through people and like okayed and like,
Unknown Speaker 37:18
I mean, I guess it was 1963 So I think it was just kind of culturally people. Like being fat was bad. And like, you know, it just wasn't not eating anything was good. Exactly. It was like popular, you know, housewives like looking pretty and wanting to like keep up their appearances. So I guess they just were like, oh, yeah, this was like normal woman shit and will start teaching little girls to do it. Huh? Which is way cringe.
Unknown Speaker 37:48
Yeah, didn't they like smoke to lose weight and stuff too?
Unknown Speaker 37:51
Yeah, like cigarettes. Were like a health thing.
Unknown Speaker 37:53
Yeah. And I think like, Wizard of Oz The trick that played in that then they like hardcore diet her? Yeah, often she like barely ate anything and had a shit ton of coffee like,
Unknown Speaker 38:05
yeah, Judy garlin was super fucked up from being a child actress, I think. Yeah, it's,
Unknown Speaker 38:13
it's a shame. We've come so far. I'm rolling my eyes as I say that like sarcasm.
Unknown Speaker 38:21
Another weird thing that Barbie did I'd forgotten about this one. And when I saw it, I was like, Oh yeah, the tits Barbie. The Barbie Yeah, tits Barbie. So in 1975 Mattel released growing up Skipper, which I also went down a whole rabbit hole of like Barbies whole lineage like her family.
Unknown Speaker 38:44
Her friends didn't realize there was like lower to it. Yeah, there's like
Unknown Speaker 38:48
a universe like all the different dolls and shit like she has she has twin siblings. Their names are 2d and Todd to show you a picture of them because they're the creepiest looking dolls I've ever seen.
Unknown Speaker 39:02
Yeah, they really only those names. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 39:05
it was the 60s So I guess stupid names like that were Tony
Unknown Speaker 39:11
I mean like Todd on its own is fine but when you pair it with
Unknown Speaker 39:15
together
Unknown Speaker 39:16
and they're twins I guess 2d used to be a kind of like popular name but I remember like the facts of life there was like duty and stuff so I guess it was more of a cutesy name well accepted name.
Unknown Speaker 39:30
So Skipper was or is a guess. Barbie sister. So in 1975 Mattel released growing up Skipper,
Unknown Speaker 39:43
so
Unknown Speaker 39:44
when you cranked her arms, she went from being flat chested to growing breasts.
Unknown Speaker 39:51
What, what what I'm looking for.
Unknown Speaker 39:56
Jamie is looking to escape. Yeah, she fucking grew boobs. And I guess the part that made it slightly less weird. She also grew taller. Um, so it's like she was growing up, but the boobs thing I mean, you can't really not make that weird.
Unknown Speaker 40:13
That was like the only other portion that she liked.
Unknown Speaker 40:18
And the commercial. Actually, I may have a commercial pulled up.
Unknown Speaker 40:21
Oh, no, it was her friend, but
Unknown Speaker 40:25
it's like she's becoming a young teen.
Unknown Speaker 40:29
Oh, no, that's Oh, you know, you don't need to make that a fucking toy. Yeah, so I gotta say the height thing was like, not noticeable at all. Yeah, the boobs like a centimeter. But her boobs just like boom. I'm kind of interested in the technology but lay behind that
Unknown Speaker 40:52
growth need it IRL? I'm to like meet her but bigger to she looks so different. Um, let's see. So I talked about rap and rock and Barbie already. In 1992 teen talk Barbie came out. And each doll was programmed to say a handful of pre recorded phrases. And these were outlaw Oh, like sexist phrases like,
Unknown Speaker 41:29
want to go shopping?
Unknown Speaker 41:31
let's plan our dream wedding. Will we ever have enough clothes? The best one? Math class is tough.
Unknown Speaker 41:44
Math is cool. God dammit. It's hard for us. Um, I think that there's like a program or bar we
Unknown Speaker 41:56
bet on here. Okay.
Unknown Speaker 41:59
We'll just get into that when we get to that then. But yeah,
Unknown Speaker 42:02
I put that on here. Especially for you. Yeah, math
Unknown Speaker 42:05
is hard.
Unknown Speaker 42:08
Girls don't know how to do certain things. They're just supposed to be
Unknown Speaker 42:12
thin and be pretty and shop for clothes, play and dream
Unknown Speaker 42:16
weddings,
Unknown Speaker 42:18
and grow our booth
Unknown Speaker 42:21
is the main focus. It's really important that we teach the girls Yeah, and I think I forgot to put this one on the list. But um, there was a doll that came with a dishwasher. So you could practice loading the little dishes into the dishwasher. Yeah. Oh my god. I think it was in 91 it was in the 90s. So like a really nice
Unknown Speaker 42:49
okay, so I have a question. It was it didn't come with $1 Was it like kitchen littles?
Unknown Speaker 42:54
Yeah, it was the doll and then it came with all the little utensils and so you would play with no and your play time was loading the dishwasher. Okay,
Unknown Speaker 43:02
so it specifically meant for loading and unloading. Okay, because I had like kitchen littles. Oh, yeah, like like the whole kitchen cooking. Yeah, Tiny.
Unknown Speaker 43:11
Oh, no, this was just so you could let the dishwasher
Unknown Speaker 43:15
you know, and I'm realizing, I think in the 90s there was a lot of choking hazards. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like everything kids played with was just like miniaturized versions of everything else
Unknown Speaker 43:28
teeny tiny just to like, bit down their windpipe or up their nose.
Unknown Speaker 43:33
Because like we had kitchen littles and like Polly Pockets. Oh, yeah. And like, you could choke on
Unknown Speaker 43:38
Paul. There's a Polly Pocket Barbie. I found that out. Really? Yeah. Oh, there's pretty much any fuckin Barbie you can think of there's gonna, or like any product or whatever. There's Barbie for it. Okay,
Unknown Speaker 43:49
please tell me more. I'm really excited. Um,
Unknown Speaker 43:54
this one's not that exciting, but it's kind of creepy. And my sister had this doll. In 1994 they released dream Barbie. So she had these really fucking creepy eyes. And you could put either an ice cube or a cold towel on her eyes, and then it would like make them closed. That's kind of creepy. And her body was soft. So you could sleep with it like a stuffed animal. But the eyes did not look right. Because they had to go from open to close, you know? So even when they're open, they're real creepy.
Unknown Speaker 44:28
Yeah, that sounds. Yeah, that sounds I'm just imagining what the eyes look like. And I just imagined when they close for some reason. They're just purple. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 44:37
they are like purple or blue. She has she wears eyeshadow to bed. I mean, you gotta look good all the time.
Unknown Speaker 44:42
I mean, she's dream Barbie. So I'm like, of course.
Unknown Speaker 44:45
Yeah. She does wear kind of like a It's not what you would picture Barbie to wear it a bit. It's
Unknown Speaker 44:51
like a long fleece thing that's covering her up. Something that I had good wear. Yeah, Barbie was an old hag. Dream Barbie. And this is the one that I know you know about. Midge man. Barbies friend. So Mattel released Happy Family version of Midge. The store was nine months pregnant, and came with a complete removable belly to cover up a plastic newborn curled up inside. And it's so fucking creepy.
Unknown Speaker 45:28
leastly didn't include like an umbilical cord. Like, yeah, yeah, that's true. But I mean, still. It's funny because like this stuff makes it to a shelf in a store. But before it does that has to go through a whole process of people and I'm just how, yeah, it
Unknown Speaker 45:45
was the parents that were like, hey, this was creepy, and then they eventually recall it, but I guess it was controversial because, well, Mitch took over. Or she replaced the Hartman's, which were like some of Barbies friends
Unknown Speaker 46:01
also replaced them with this dude, they fuck up.
Unknown Speaker 46:05
They died. So Mattel used to do a lot of Barbies friends now it's, it's not so much but like in the 70s that was a big thing. And she had like a whole friend group. Well, then I guess they kind of like narrowed it back down. And the Hartman's were her friends, then mid replace them in marriage had a boyfriend named Alan. But Alan didn't come in the Happy Family set and Mage didn't have a wedding ring. Oh, so it was very controversial. And people also thought, well, maybe just Barbies friend Barbie is supposed to be you know. 1617 So is this like a teen pregnancy doll? Oh,
Unknown Speaker 46:43
yeah, probably very controversial.
Unknown Speaker 46:46
So they just released like a Southern line. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 46:50
It was a southern teenagers line. For sure. Also in 2003 Yeah, so that weird. I was pregnant doll happened in Oh, three.
Unknown Speaker 47:00
I and it seems like about what happened before the 2000s
Unknown Speaker 47:04
Yeah, for sure. A lot of Barbie shit. You're like, Oh, this isn't like in the 60s. Like this is more modern day. Oh, but they released a higher end line of Barbie called lounge kitties. And I'm going to show you the you know,
Unknown Speaker 47:24
like that name for a child's toy. That's like not a cat.
Unknown Speaker 47:29
Well, I guess Barbie sometimes branches out and releases like collector's things for adult. Lounge kitties was more of a collector.
Unknown Speaker 47:38
Okay. Let's see what we're working with. Oh, meow. Oh, I like their hairstyles. I gotta say. It's so weird though. Yeah, so they're dressed up like sexy kitty ladies kind of like cat woman but with more for love. Yeah. And they're all sitting in sexy poses on like, a couch that looks like lips or healing. Yeah, I feel high fashion Barbie. Let's see. So that was an oh three.
Unknown Speaker 48:19
And oh four Barbie and Kim broke up. I don't know if you remember hearing about knowing don't. She's single now. Right? Yeah, well, she was single for a little bit. She briefly had a fling with an Australian surfer or Ken doll essentially named Blaine. And then Barbie and Ken decided to get back together in 2011. So they rekindled their romance. They announced it on Facebook and 2011 on Valentine's Day.
Unknown Speaker 48:49
So Beyonce Jay Z power couple.
Unknown Speaker 48:52
Yeah, I mean, Barbie and kin are power couple for sure. They said yes, it's true. After seven long years apart, Ken and I decided to rekindle our romance. A doll knows when it's love and I finally realized that my heart beats only for kin. Which to me I thought it was like a little bit depressing because I'm like, It's fucking Barbie. Like why are you making her get a divorce but I guess at least they got back together.
Unknown Speaker 49:23
Yeah, but I'm also kind of like don't want them to be back together. Um, I don't know my brains just like kin 10 cheated on her or like something like like that. I don't know. I just
Unknown Speaker 49:39
Well, it may have been blamed may have been flashing as Peter around at all the
Unknown Speaker 49:44
other adults at Mitch.
Unknown Speaker 49:48
Mitch. Oh shit. Yeah, it's my baby. It's it's Mitch or Blaine, Blaine image David Blaine. Then in 2006 They came out with Barbie forever. I don't know. I guess that's like a special line. And she had a dog named Tanner.
Unknown Speaker 50:09
I was like for fer forever. Actually, no,
Unknown Speaker 50:15
that's a missed opportunity. Oh regular Word forever
Unknown Speaker 50:19
hire me Mattel
Unknown Speaker 50:22
make you want to be part of them you know Barbie crew they fuck up a lot more
Unknown Speaker 50:26
difference I can make a change in the corporate no content.
Unknown Speaker 50:30
So I'm gonna come show you this video and if you can, please describe what you see to the listeners.
Unknown Speaker 50:36
Okay. Um, now I'm nervous. So she feeds it treats and then it poops him out. Like you. You shoot crank the tail.
Unknown Speaker 50:49
Yeah. And then she has a whole like setup to clean the poop like a poop stick in a can. And
Unknown Speaker 50:57
it's like a little dog park pack. It's. You remember those dolls? That they would also make that would like pm? Oh yeah. Yeah, those were fucking weird.
Unknown Speaker 51:09
What are those called?
Unknown Speaker 51:12
I don't know. But they had a would come out like gooey. Oh, I
Unknown Speaker 51:17
don't remember that,
Unknown Speaker 51:18
um, baby doll that my sister had a couple
Unknown Speaker 51:26
baby dolls. I don't think I ever did. But I remember she had one where it was the little bottle of milk. And when you turn the milk, or turn the bottle, the milk disappeared. And that always blew my mind like baby drinking.
Unknown Speaker 51:39
Yeah, I think I had one of those two. Um, it was called Baby checkup. Like you could check. It's like temperature and stuff. And I think it also had a bottle. Oh, it doesn't have a bottle. Here. I'll show you baby checkup.
Unknown Speaker 51:58
It's weird. Like, oh, yeah, you're just destined to be a mother. So this is going to be your toy. And you'll learn to load the dishwasher to what you're gonna do take care
Unknown Speaker 52:09
of it, at least with baby checkup. Like it was something medical related. So I can be like, I didn't want to be a nurse for a while. So maybe that's where that came from. I don't know. But yeah, I think that those dolls were called like, Baby Alive
Unknown Speaker 52:22
or something. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember those
Unknown Speaker 52:26
may be alive. I want to do another research project.
Unknown Speaker 52:33
I'm going to pretend that it's sophisticated and call it that. But on just cringy toys and stuff. I think that would be a good one. Yeah, I
Unknown Speaker 52:40
definitely want to follow up with more weird toys.
Unknown Speaker 52:46
Oh, yeah. This is the one that you were talking about. And I put it in here just for you. Yeah. 2010 we have the computer engineer Barbie. So they came out with a book. Nobody really thought about it that much. And then in 2014 someone discovered that in the Barbie book. So Barbie is coding. Instead of Barbie coding on her own video game. She's fixing a friend's laptop. She accidentally downloads a virus and relies on a couple of boys to do the actual tech work. Yeah. What's the quote in here? Oh, I'll need Steven and Brian's help to turn it into a real game. So she needs the boys to come save her. And then Steven comes over and tells Barbie it will go faster if Brian and I help. So that sounds like it's pretty accurate to how the programming world probably still is. That's my life. It's an autobiography.
Unknown Speaker 53:55
They suffered a sue for the likeness.
Unknown Speaker 54:02
Jamie's gonna get to something later in the episode about essentially child brides and like creepy old men. Yeah. So I didn't know this. But whenever Elvis married Lisa Marie. She was 14. Yeah. And he was 24 Yeah, I didn't know that. Barbie May and they were only married for I'm going to get this wrong, but I think like six or seven years it was very brief. I hate it so much. But Barbie decided that it was such a beautiful love story that they needed to make their wedding Barbie dolls. So there's a Barbie doll of this literal child bride?
Unknown Speaker 54:45
No. No,
Unknown Speaker 54:48
it was a different time. It's okay. Not creepy. Not bad. I hate it so much. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 54:55
Did they get married before he went to war?
Unknown Speaker 54:58
I don't know. But I do. Add a little bit of looking into it. And apparently her parents did not fucking like him. And he was like, okay. Oh, marry her to make it not weird. And somehow that fixed it.
Unknown Speaker 55:13
Wouldn't the parents have to, like approve or something? Like, I guess it would depend on like, what state they're in? Yeah. What
Unknown Speaker 55:20
does it only nine states completely banned marriage under 18? I think yeah,
Unknown Speaker 55:25
I think so. Really weirdly worded laws. Yeah. And
Unknown Speaker 55:32
they just require like parental consent for childhood marriage, but it's like the parents that are getting the children into these like shit situations fun. Awful.
Unknown Speaker 55:44
Yeah, I hate it. And yeah, we, I. If you want to learn more about that, I highly recommend checking out the podcast someplace under neath underneath two different words in they do a really good couple episodes on child brides. And it's just like, it's mind blowing. Like, I don't know, it makes me hate people.
Unknown Speaker 56:10
Yeah. Yeah, there's some shit. That's just absolutely unforgettable. So I have two more dolls that I'll do really quick. We'll do a racist and a discriminatory doll. Wrap it up. Yeah, so one thing that Barbie has been accused, well not really accused of like, it's just how it is. People say that. They make dolls of other ethnicities kind of is like tokenism? Not really because like, Oh, like this is like the one African American friend or whatever, they don't really make an effort to be inclusive.
Unknown Speaker 56:55
Are you talking about how they would just have like the same doll but they hadn't in different colors?
Unknown Speaker 57:00
Yeah, that and there just wasn't I mean, there's like a million Caucasian Barbies. Like two that or other racism. Okay, so I don't remember what year this was. But Mattel decided they were going to put out some Barbies that were Barbies friends from different countries. So the market worldwide Yes, Barbie is Mrs. Worldwide in a very cringe way. The Barbie from Mexico, they had her like, in a traditional outfit, and people thought that they weren't really creative enough and it was like too generic and so they didn't really like that. The really fucked up thing I think about it. She came with a fucking Chihuahua. And she also came with a passport. So she knew that she was legally here and wow critics were like, why does this matter? Like what does this add and Mattel is like Oh yeah, it's just like a fun accessory for her and people were like, Oh
Unknown Speaker 58:14
licitly tying it into like other countries like I don't know to me that just seems like here from somewhere else but it's okay because you're gonna come to America. dumb shit like that. You're here legally that
Unknown Speaker 58:28
matters guard. Yeah, they also had another controversial dog having to deal with Mexico. They have a Dia de los Muertos. Doh. That's like another kind of like collector doll. Like the lounge kitties. And that doll is like 75 bucks. And it's sold out the past couple years. But people are like, Hey, you're just kind of like, this is a money grab. You're like taking away from our culture and being like, Oh yeah, it's $1 We're gonna make money on it.
Unknown Speaker 58:59
Are we talking about Disney?
Unknown Speaker 59:02
Yeah, so super fucked up. And laughs Barbie all end on now there's this other Barbie that uh, she had pre recorded phrases and she was saying off the hook but it sounded like what the fuck so they took her off the shelves.
Unknown Speaker 59:23
I love it either way, like off the hook like
Unknown Speaker 59:27
what's what cool people say what rapper
Unknown Speaker 59:30
Barbie needed to have as
Unknown Speaker 59:34
Gods so cringe. So in 1997 Mattel came out with Share a smile, Becky? And sounds like a bitch. She wasn't Becky got fucked over Barbie. So this is Barbies. First friend who used a wheelchair.
Unknown Speaker 59:56
And so people
Unknown Speaker 59:58
liked her You know, it was great. It was good representation and everything. But what people did not like, is all the Barbie Dream houses and accessories. They did not ADA compliant. Yes, they did not fit Becky.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:17
Oh, no, no, that's an incredible oversight.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:20
Yeah, super fucked up.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:22
Did they ever release the? Like, no,
Unknown Speaker 1:00:26
no. So the next thing I have written is 10 years later, she still couldn't roll into the Barbie Dream House and miss out Mattel, MIT, Mattel decided to discontinue the doll. So instead of fucking fixing it, or doing anything about it, they were like, Oh, well, I guess if people aren't buying this, so we're just gonna discontinue it
Unknown Speaker 1:00:50
sounds like America. Yeah, you're too hard to accommodate, so we're just gonna pretend like you don't exist.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:58
Yeah, there's there's so much other fucked up shit with Barbie too. Like, recently they got called out because they made 2020 Olympic dolls. You know, the Olympics were held in Japan. And they didn't have an Asian doll. And people. Yeah, people were like, What the fuck? And then I think Barbie tried to say like, oh, whoa, this one is Asian. And people were like, no, like, I think they came out with like, five dolls. Like three of them are like varying shades of whiteness. And I guess they said that one of those was supposed to be Asian. And they also had another Barbie in the past that was after like a famous roller skater or something. There was Asian but they just like, completely whitewash the doll. And like, she's not Asian.
Unknown Speaker 1:01:57
Oh, oh, yeah. Why? Why?
Unknown Speaker 1:02:04
Sorry, for 15 hours about Barbies, but loved it all insane. How much Korean shit and there's like so much more to like, I think I left off like four or five different things like just like cringy racist shit, and just things that like weren't thought through. And
Unknown Speaker 1:02:22
I'm excited to do a toy episode because I really want to hear more
Unknown Speaker 1:02:26
and more. I'll put the rest in there.
Unknown Speaker 1:02:29
Yeah, I am. Never gonna buy a Barbie stuff again. Probably.
Unknown Speaker 1:02:34
Yeah, yeah, they have the whole line now that's like the curvy version and all that like they're trying but it's not it's not working for him. The handicapped Barbie
Unknown Speaker 1:02:48
I feel like there's kind of like a missed opportunity there in a lot of ways for like, learning and teaching people but also like for Mattel to make money because like you could easily make like accessories for her to like attach to dream houses, like make different ramps, or like the stairs, different cars. Yeah, just make like some different things or attachments to put on existing things to accommodate. Because like, yeah, I don't know, I hate that. I hate that. And it really that's one of my pet peeves is whenever I go to a place, maybe not a residential home because those are different. But whenever I go to another place, it's not ADA, or like wheelchair accessible. I'm like, Fuck you guys. What the fuck are you doing?
Unknown Speaker 1:03:39
Even today at the bizarre I went outside listeners because Jamie was still paying and it was just so fucking crowded. I was like, Oh, I'd rather go stand in the rain than sand inside. So I went and stood in the rain. And there's a guy in a wheelchair, and he was coming up the ramp they had set up but the ramp was like a fucking corn maze. Like yeah, just a ramp. And so it's raining and the sky is like getting up the ramp. And I'm like, What the fuck? Like they could have made this way better.
Unknown Speaker 1:04:12
Yeah, and I mean to like, everyone can utilize a little ramp but yeah, can utilize stairs. Exactly. It doesn't make a fucking ramp going everywhere. And like people fall on stairs more than they fall on ramps probably so yeah, that's good point. I'm calling for a ramp revolution. Yeah, ramp ramp. Ramp ramp. Anyway, I'm barnby Um, so I so we also have some like, where are they now kind of updates for you guys. Um, I don't think they're really exciting. Just gonna get this out of the way. I tried to find some information on the the car lovers that we were talking about, but I didn't find anything. Nothing really came up. Yeah, I
Unknown Speaker 1:05:05
looked on the TLC guy and I couldn't find anything. It was just articles with people being like, hey, remember when that guy on TLC like fucked a car? I was like, I want to know what he's doing. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 1:05:15
that's exactly yeah, exactly what I came across to. And like, the only like, I found I could only find one article of the barrier guy that took place after that thing. And like, it doesn't really say anything, there was just like, maybe a couple quotes. So this was from lad Bible. And maybe if we get enough traction, we can reach out and interview him. Because no one else is talking to him. Maybe we have a chance
Unknown Speaker 1:05:50
is open right now. That would be amazing.
Unknown Speaker 1:05:52
I also searched for obituaries because I was like, I don't I don't know if they died or not. But I was just like, looking on LinkedIn. Like for his name for like, car mechanics in the UK or something. But um, he says in lis a quote from him. Some guys look at boobs and bums on beautiful women. I look at the front and rear on beautiful cars.
Unknown Speaker 1:06:15
But yeah,
Unknown Speaker 1:06:16
the front but um, I write poetry about cars. I sing to them and talk to them like a girlfriend. No,
Unknown Speaker 1:06:24
no, don't. Um,
Unknown Speaker 1:06:29
me I can't find it. But I swear. I could have found something that said that he was in a brief relationship with a woman and then was like, Nah, man, the same for me.
Unknown Speaker 1:06:42
From boats or gross. Back to cars.
Unknown Speaker 1:06:45
Get your friend by the way for me. Um, let me see if I can find it real quick. Sweet. I got an email that our stickers are in. No. Oh, yeah. If you want a sticker, email us your address. Yep. Or, you know, DM on Instagram. reached out to one of us if you know us, and we will send you some stickers. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:07:14
Gotta send to because it's a lot of commitment where you're gonna put a sticker.
Unknown Speaker 1:07:20
Yeah. So you can commit with one and then keep your anxieties in another. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Okay. Edward has only had sex with one woman a one night stand, but he wasn't keen. instead. He's looking forward to settling down with vanilla. Oh, how romantic. Oh, him and his his old girl are gonna be together forever. So yeah, that was I mean, that wasn't really like an update on him. But I think when we watch the interview, or the documentary, I think it's something he hadn't been with a woman before. Oh, or he says a recent release hadn't dated a woman painter in their front. But yeah, so I don't I don't know if this was his first friend but experience. But um, he has slept with a girl before cars, I guess. So he's solidly knows. He's a car guy. Um, the other updates I have. So I have some updates on the Kid Nation kids. Not gonna lie. Not a very interesting group of kids. They all grew up to be just fine people. Some of them went to college for various things. Like one did like computer science. The chick that was like a huge bitch. Taylor, the little brat girls. Um, I found her social media and stuff linked from like another article. But um, yeah, she's kind of like, what you would kind of expect her to grow up to be she's kind of like the basic fish southern kind of girl. She's wearing her blue egg so like she's like, Have you ever seen that meme that has like, it's like, oh basic bitches this fall are about to like all be wearing this and it's like 10 girls and they all have like the same way. Jeans like the boots and like the white shirt and scarves or whatever. She's basically like that kind of person. There was one um, the one kid Jimmy the little boy that was like, I think I'm gonna die out here at home. I don't really have like a good update on him. But he was on a YouTube interview with this one youtuber jontron I don't think you ever heard of him, but he just has some, like funny videos and reaction kind of things. And yeah, he interviewed that kid. And he just seems like a normal, normal dude. And he did say that he was kind of peeved off. By the money thing. Yeah. Cuz they were like, does anyone want to go home and he's like, I want to go home, they send them home, and then immediately after they're like, Alright, you guys all have an opportunity to get money because he said he would have stayed if he knew that, like, there was money. So yeah. Um, and then there's a few other kids that do acting, but none of them were in anything that like I heard of, or it didn't seem like there were major roles. So the other kind of younger, though, they might just be kind of starting out their acting careers.
Unknown Speaker 1:10:55
Oh, yeah, I guess that wasn't that long ago. Yeah. No.
Unknown Speaker 1:10:59
Um, and let's see. i The only other updates I have are for celebrity Wife Swap. We watched a
Unknown Speaker 1:11:10
lovely video before we started recording. Oh, yeah, we
Unknown Speaker 1:11:13
could start with a home button. First. Yeah, so, uh, well, we'll kick off with D. Schneider and his wife to Suzette. Um, so they, so they do briefly show up on another episode of The Wife Swap? Oh, um, I can't remember who it was. Because it was someone I hadn't heard of, but they went to like this red carpet premiere, and then a D and Sue's that were there. And she was like, oh, yeah, you're doing this. I got flavor flavor. I wish I would have got the guy you got because he was supposed to be like this. hunka hunka Oh, burn in love. Um, but yeah, we watched a video before this before recording. And
Unknown Speaker 1:12:00
basically, I was Oh, I feel like I can't approach this and like,
Unknown Speaker 1:12:10
like, flat out. He basically like stalked her since she was 15. And he was 21. And
Unknown Speaker 1:12:16
the child breads tie in. Yeah, really.
Unknown Speaker 1:12:20
And so like, we watched a little interview where he talked about it, and I guess he has a song that kind of sounds like stalkery and stuff. And he was like, Yeah, and it's my wife's favorite song. And then she was like, This is what you did to me when we were started dating
Unknown Speaker 1:12:35
when you're an adult,
Unknown Speaker 1:12:37
and he said that he would like drive by her house hoping to like catch her come outside. And like
Unknown Speaker 1:12:43
oh, yeah, the grandma was like, yeah, that man's here again.
Unknown Speaker 1:12:47
Yeah, a full grown ass man. keeps driving by
Unknown Speaker 1:12:51
the house by the teenagers. Oh, oh, so
Unknown Speaker 1:12:55
yeah, and um, they got married when she was 21 So there was a form of courting
Unknown Speaker 1:13:03
I feel like that's a little more they're like we're gonna not make it weird.
Unknown Speaker 1:13:07
Yeah, it is. But yeah who huh? I just don't want to think about that anymore. So we're gonna move on to flavor flavor because he was in that same episode. Um so him and Liz are not together anymore. Let's the woman that was on the show. And I think you mentioned this when we were talking about it but yeah, he in the same year of the show, you got tart like arrested and charged for domestic argument with her son. And there was a knife involved. So it says that you had gotten into a verbal altercation due to five cheating on Liz it continued adding that she said an earring was ripped out of her ear Doom incident which walking out so
Unknown Speaker 1:14:04
wave of wave I don't know if we talked enough about how much of a dick he was but he was just constantly wanting to go out with his friends and I mean, not to knock bowling because I guess it's fun, but I feel like he was always going bowling with them like what?
Unknown Speaker 1:14:21
Just seems so dumb. Not to any of our bowlers out there sorry. It's just I don't know bowling is not a fun activity for me.
Unknown Speaker 1:14:33
Like I want to not spend time with this family. I decided to create and go bowling like it just I don't get it.
Unknown Speaker 1:14:41
And she like one of her rules was like no, no, it wasn't no bowling. She just said we're gonna go bowling with you. And he got really upset. I
Unknown Speaker 1:14:49
was like, oh, not my stupid family.
Unknown Speaker 1:14:54
Um, so So yeah, he they aren't together anymore. They were on Celebrity Rehab. together Oh my god. I didn't I didn't really watch a lot of it. I just watched like one clip and funny enough they were at a bowling alley, like all of the couples went bowling. I don't know why maybe it's just like putting on were worn shoes and like putting your fingers all inside stuff other people touch
Unknown Speaker 1:15:24
another thing that was gross before the pandemic now I really don't want to do it.
Unknown Speaker 1:15:30
And then everyone goes to like the snack bar and then get like their food hands all over the balls. I don't know. I hate it. I hate it.
Unknown Speaker 1:15:37
I hate it. I don't like it because I have huge feet. And I am embarrassed to say my shoe size and then it has it like on the back of the shoe. Peggy Hill. Yeah. I mean, I don't. I don't really care anymore. You know what I'm just gonna say we're size 10 This podcast is gonna be therapeutic for me. Just gonna say all the cringe things
Unknown Speaker 1:15:59
you must have a huge dick.
Unknown Speaker 1:16:04
My Painter is off the charts. Like you see this right here, not my kneecap.
Unknown Speaker 1:16:14
I'm kind of scared. Sounds like a put some bitches in their place.
Unknown Speaker 1:16:20
I only use my painter for good.
Unknown Speaker 1:16:23
Um, so all the couples went bowling. And she's just like, seems annoyed the whole time. I hurt and flavor aren't really like, together. Like they show up together. He doesn't open the door for her. So she gets like, pissed off and I've never had that expectation. So like, Wouldn't someone try it? Like, when people try to do polite things for me? It feels weird.
Unknown Speaker 1:16:51
To like, Oh, you're treating like a person? Oh, wow. That's so nice.
Unknown Speaker 1:16:57
Um, and then. Yeah, so they get out of the car. She's like, upset. And then like, it's just obvious that they're both upset when they arrive. So like, a girl goes to like, talk to Liz. Play with slaves just like being playful slave to round lands. And this family. And so she was sitting at this little snack bar talking to a Kaitlyn from Teen Mom. I don't know if her mom but uh, Caitlin and Tyler. They were like, my favorite couple. I'm not sure. But yeah, so they're so they're on the that too. And so she's talking to Caitlin and Caitlin goes to talk to someone else for a second. Tyler's on the other side of where Caitlin was sitting. And slave comes and talks to Liz she just gets really upset. He leaves and then she just like sits under the counter thing. And like, Tyler's just like, What the fuck? Like, this is so fucking weird. So she's sitting under there like upset for a little
Unknown Speaker 1:17:58
bit crocheting
Unknown Speaker 1:18:02
crying and her crochet. And then she like, she sits under there for a little bit. And then like people walk by and they look and someone kind of like loud caps. It's like she's sitting under the table and someone was like, Yeah, I don't know. And then she like gets, I guess she kind of realizes like, no one's really gonna come to her. And so she gets under the table with me. Yeah, so she gets up and gets in her chair and she almost falls getting into it. She doesn't. But I mean, so it's cringy that she did that but it's also kind of like, I feel so bad because like I can't imagine like what her mental state wasn't to like, do that. But with how like insanely quiet she is and stuff. I don't I didn't really see it as like yeah, tension thing. I think she was just like trying to hide and escape and just be like, I'm not here. I don't want to do this right now. Just people were noticing reminds me of the time I hid under the table at Chucky Cheese.
Unknown Speaker 1:19:10
Scary rat.
Unknown Speaker 1:19:11
I was scared of the people in the costumes. It was the Italian guy. Oh, um, and let's see. Oh, yeah, and so wave keys and another. Not like married? I don't think they're engaged. I think it's just a girlfriend. Kate her name's Kate gamble and they had a son in 2019 And it's funny I can't remember if it was like something I was reading when I was looking it up or what but um he was just talking about how like he wanted to be a father and be there for his kid and I was just like, didn't know let's let's say you have like six chain kids like he doesn't care about those kids like
Unknown Speaker 1:19:58
he's like, didn't go So good with this one,
Unknown Speaker 1:20:01
like smart yen. Um, so yeah, he's still having kids with different ladies do in his lifestyle.
Unknown Speaker 1:20:12
He really he wouldn't want any some. You know how much he likes to go out and yeah, like hey, I'm famous.
Unknown Speaker 1:20:19
Yeah, like, just like, I have no problem with him being like that but yeah, it's like all these other people are suffering because yeah,
Unknown Speaker 1:20:26
he's kids are waiting for him and he's like I'm gonna bowling.
Unknown Speaker 1:20:30
And then it's like he's like I'm a have a I mean like you know girlfriend, whatever partner and I'm gonna leave them at home all the time and then get arrested for domestic domestic abuse a bunch like just leave your bachelor lifestyle alone. Do it by yourself. Yeah. Um and then there was also the episode with Ted Haggerty and Gary Busey. I'm nothing with Ted and Gail. I just put just doing more church stuff. And it really carried to take in detail,
Unknown Speaker 1:21:04
you're gonna get weird ads when you look at too much other church shit.
Unknown Speaker 1:21:07
Um, and so yeah, they're just, they're just still doing church it. Uh, Gary Busey and Stephanie, um, I didn't really find any updates on Stephanie. Like, I don't care about this, but they're still not legally married. But just like, an update that I could find. Is that because they were it sounded like on the show, they were talking about getting married. So I just curious that they had gotten married yet, but they're still just having their like, spiritual bond, whatever they are calling it. But Gary, he did a Dancing with the Stars in 2015. Which just seems hilarious to me.
Unknown Speaker 1:21:49
Yeah, he's fucking batshit I bet that was awesome. I've never watched that show. It seems like something I would like because they get just the weirdest people on there.
Unknown Speaker 1:22:01
Yeah, I think wasn't Kelly Osborne on there too.
Unknown Speaker 1:22:03
I think so. Honey, booboo was on there. I absolutely love like trash TV. Not like the Kardashians but like actual like trash. Yeah. I actually meant to watch the Honey Boo Boo season, but I
Unknown Speaker 1:22:20
didn't hear Comes Honey Boo.
Unknown Speaker 1:22:23
I did watch the spin off that they have a funny movie.
Unknown Speaker 1:22:27
They house was it loveless sister or something? I don't
Unknown Speaker 1:22:29
remember what it was called. But, um, they ended up having their own show. And oh, it was Mama June hot or not? I'm pretty sure that's what she lost a bunch of weight. And they had a show about them. So I watched that. That's really embarrassing. But yeah, I did. I think it was multiple seasons too. And I watched all of it.
Unknown Speaker 1:22:51
How did they score more than one season? Because of
Unknown Speaker 1:22:54
stupid people like me?
Unknown Speaker 1:23:00
Oh, and Gary Busey also became a celebrity spokesperson for Amazon Fire TV. What? Yeah, which I was struck Amazon surprised. Um,
Unknown Speaker 1:23:12
I'm sorry. But he's always in points with me. Like, I thought he was a cool character before. He's just insane. But that said,
Unknown Speaker 1:23:22
now he's just going after the money. Yeah. Um, yeah, I still need to cancel my Amazon membership. So I feel like I can't knock him too hard. But I did all my Christmas shopping like in person this year trying to shop like as local as I could and a few like, chain stores. But there wasn't like Walmart damn store. Um,
Unknown Speaker 1:23:44
I ordered something off of there the other day because I could get it cheaper. And I was a little disappointed in myself, but
Unknown Speaker 1:23:51
it's okay. It's I think it's gonna take everyone some time to wean off of like that instant. Yeah, thing. Um, I mean, anyway, like, Amazon Prime video sucks ass so like,
Unknown Speaker 1:24:07
you can just watch that shitty Mississippi movie.
Unknown Speaker 1:24:09
Yeah. Oh, well, yeah, I did get to watch a Christmas to be on there for free. I went to go watch the old unsolved mysteries and they were charging for it. Like I charge Amazon. And they were charging for old Unsolved Mysteries. Like, I mean, I could see the maybe doing that when the next the new Netflix was announced. But like before, beforehand, it was like free on Hulu with our membership. I was like, why? I don't understand that. Um, so anyway, Gary Busey was also the first American winner of the 14th season of UK Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother, which I've never watched those shows. I know it's just one of those like they all stay in a house. Kind of thing. banner early. No much bad either. Um, maybe there'll be something good to talk about in
Unknown Speaker 1:25:06
there. He's insane. I'm sure there's definitely something weird on there.
Unknown Speaker 1:25:11
Oh, I do have one thing for Stephanie. View. So there's one more thing, or a couple more things with Gary, but let me say this about Stephanie first. Um, so she's she's been an actor, and she was actually acting before Gary Busey. Oh, that's cool. Um, but it seems like she does like a lot of like, smaller kind of roles and stuff. But she was in 2016 and Sharknado. Four. Oh, shit. So that is cool. That was um, I only saw the first one. And I know that like Oh, fuck. Who's that lady? Ah, she insuring NATO. Yeah, I'm like the second or third one. I think Tara Reid. Ah.
Unknown Speaker 1:26:00
I like Terry.
Unknown Speaker 1:26:01
Yeah. And I went and I went to this small coasts convention for like, it was horror movies and games. They had some celebrities there. And Tara Reid was one of them. I don't know. I didn't want to meet any of the celebrities. Yeah, I don't like them. I'm just not really big on like, meeting a person that I've never met before? Because I saw them do a job. Don't say that. We
Unknown Speaker 1:26:23
need people. I mean, yes, I did. I mean, celebrities.
Unknown Speaker 1:26:30
I mean, of course, there's people that like, I'm excited about like, I'm finding some people that make content but like, I feel like I'd be really excited to like Meet
Unknown Speaker 1:26:41
Matt Jackson Galaxy. Oh, Greg, we have a pic.
Unknown Speaker 1:26:46
Oh, see is really gonna be excited about that. Because like,
Unknown Speaker 1:26:48
Dude, it was amazing. And he even complimented me because he gave a talk because he was releasing some book. So we went to book people. And he, whenever I met him, he was like, you're like a really good listener. Like, I feel like I like make eye contact with you a lot. And it was just like, he's looking at you a lot.
Unknown Speaker 1:27:10
If it had the voice raised up over G Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:27:13
If I didn't have carboy number three, I feel like we could run off and down over the Cat Daddy. Oh, well, he's married to Jackson. Is
Unknown Speaker 1:27:21
that what? Um, man. Yeah, that's awesome. I guess I feel like I like people that have more of a like things. Yeah. It's like a tailored kind of content. Like, yeah. If I just, there's different, like artists and stuff. I listened to you. Oh, yeah. So I've met a few different like singers and stuff like MC front a lot. He's like a nerdcore rapper. And like, um, I met him in person. And like, it just felt awkward. And then like, also this guy that makes YouTube videos, the Gaming Historian, I met him in person. He had a booth and he was selling like a book and stuff. And I was just like, Oh, hey, hi. I just wanted to like, just come and say, Hey, and just tell you that I like your content. Because, like, I feel bad when people don't like go up to the booth and stuff. And then like, so yeah, I think. I don't know. That's just cringe years. And I was thinking but like, like, years later, Brandon told me that he was he's just joking and fucking with me, but he would like when we're leaving. He's like, Yeah, that was really awkward. And I was like, Oh, damn, courroie number one, so I've just been thinking about him ever since. But he told me a while you're like, Yeah, I was joking. Didn't couldn't tell that I was joking. I'm like, No, I've just been suffering with that memory for like, three. Oh, yeah. But terrida thought, oh, man, I just felt awkward because like, no one was like going to her or anything. Yeah. But it was kind of the same for all the celebrities there. It was kind of no one going. But yeah, so also to the last couple things I have for Gary Busey. Um, in 2019, he was announced as a star as God in the Off Broadway musical, only human. So picturing Gary Busey in a musical is just hilarious name. Yeah. Um, but I was kind of saving this for last because it's the most recent but also like, my favorite. So are so he has a new show that came out? Yes. Last year in May. And it just called Gary Busey pet judge.
Unknown Speaker 1:29:45
Either way, I've actually seen this I totally forgot about that. Yeah, I saw it like, late one night. Not that I drink a lot. I feel like I've talked about that on the past couple shows but like I came home and it was like super drunk and I was flipping through TV and we found that and I was like, What am I watching? Like, it felt like I was on a drug. It was so weird.
Unknown Speaker 1:30:11
Like, I watched the commercials when I found out and I was like, Wait, like, he's, like Judge Judy port, but it's so weird deals. And that's exactly what it is. And it's like, exactly how you would probably picture it. And like in the pre commercial, I remember, there was like a stuffed dog with like a sweater. And he was like doing something with it. Like, oh my god, this is gonna be fucking bonkers. Oh, that's all workers. That's how I would describe it.
Unknown Speaker 1:30:42
Yeah, that's actually a perfect description. It was so weird. It it almost seemed like a, like a Tim and Eric sketch or something. It was just it was so odd. It's
Unknown Speaker 1:30:54
yeah, it's just like, weird off the wall in the people. Like, it was funny because Gary Busey, like, I guess he explained something. And then he was just like, does that make sense? And then it goes to like, one of the
Unknown Speaker 1:31:08
plaintiffs or whatever. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:31:10
Word for a person attending the court hearing to be heard. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was just like, No, Gary Busey, like, does not make sense. Like, I don't think anything in that show was going to me.
Unknown Speaker 1:31:30
Um, so yeah, that was the last like, update I had. I just want to watch that Gary Busey show more,
Unknown Speaker 1:31:39
man. Write that down. Yes. I tried to find some stuff on Casey from next the ginger. Oh, Taro. That child archery champion. Couldn't find anything. I was really going to do a deep dive and like, watch the episode and see if I could find his name in the credits, but then I got distracted by Barbies for like, 15 hours, so
Unknown Speaker 1:32:05
sorry, everybody. I really want to explore more weird toys. Yeah, so if any of our listeners remember having a weird toy or had a sky dancer that flew into the fireplace,
Unknown Speaker 1:32:19
