Hello, homies, and welcome to another episode, another week, another dolla.  Of Easily Entertained, I'm your host, Maddy McClain, your pop culture sherpa, your favorite razzle dazzler.  Today, 

today, we have somebody else here to give you a little razzle dazzle. He's back, he's back by popular demand. My brother, and our guest co host for this week, Matt Blankenship Jr. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. It's good to be here, on the pod, I've missed it.

Yeah, we've missed you too. I've missed you. 

I'm ready for some razzle dazzle. What you got today? Today? What are we talking about? We got a little, a little fun mixed bag. We're recording on a Friday today, so got those Friday sillies. Well,  you got a glass full of Friday Sillies right in front of you.  Well, hi, I'm friends. Yes.  Meanwhile, our guest co host here is a little  hungy.

I'm drinking tea. So, that's okay. You still get the Sillies. I don't know about you, but I get, like, deliriums. Like, hangover deliriums, um, sometimes. Does that?  Yeah, we'll see, but we'll see what we have in store for us. We got, I can't predict that sort of stuff. I'm not a weatherman. Let's go.  Okay. 

Today, we have some pop culture news nuggets. Um, I like to think of them as Chick fil A style nuggets, because those are  obviously the best.  Do you remember when we went to Hudson House? That restaurant in Dallas? Yes. There's apparently Hudson House in LA also, it's like way over in like, yeah, like West Hollywood or Beverly Hills, but I would drive back there to get that salad that has like,  basically Chick fil A nuggets on it. 

It's so good. That looked really good. And I'm not usually a salad as an entree bitch. Um. Ordering  a salad at a restaurant is always like.  After you, you're like, Oh, but every time I get a salad, like it's really good. And then after you order it between that and then bringing the food, you're like, why the fuck did I do that?

 And then when they bring it, it's great. And you're like, I should do this more. I should get, I should go out to restaurants and eat salads. And uh. Turns out it's not that bad. It's pretty great.  Mostly dressing and fried chicken anyway, and avocados.  I love a good Cobb salad. 

That's on the quiz today.  Oh, yes. I have a segment that Maddy doesn't know about that I've prepared where I'm going to quiz her on something. But we'll get to that. We'll get to that. Everybody, keep it in your pants. That comes later. Yeah. For our video Watchers, are you liking this, like, sultry light that's coming in through my window?

Wow. I'm trying to position my body just so it doesn't Find your light, Matthew. Find your light.  Okay. I found it. I'm ready. Okay, great. 

I, oh, it was the Chick fil A nuggets that,  I mean, understandably so, sent things into a tailspin. Um, so we'll talk a little, little bitsies about that, but we have some fun games. Thanks. Games to play? , I'm always that bitch that begs that we play a game, while in a big group.  Like what kind of game, like a board game? 

Preferably, no, I will do board games, those are fun, but like, have you ever played Jackbox? Like a fun crowd involvement.  I feel like that was such a pandemic thing and then  played it again while we were like on tour in, um, like DC or something and it was like, this is so much fun. Also, I'm just going to put this on the public record. 

I'm murder at Jackbox TV. I'm so good at it. 

I just went through, uh,  Um, I feel like a lot of their games are murder based. They're like, you're in this horror house and it's like,  I'm going to kill you. It's like, whoa, this is really. Like, it makes you scared. I'm scared to lose. I don't want to die. That's true. That's true. As a kid, we were like, thinking about murdering people with candlesticks and stuff in libraries.

With Clue?  Yeah, Clue is a children's game and don't shant play that. Shant. They shant never. Um, also one of those fun, like, card drinking games. I love a good drinking game. Oh, yeah. King's Cup? Yeah. Ooh, yeah, a classic. What are your, what are the King's Cup rules? Can we kick it from the noggin?  Let's try.

Okay. Two is you. Ace. Oh, okay. Oh, we're going backwards. We'll meet in the middle. No, no, two, two is good, two is good.  Two is you. It's easier. Three is me. Four is an inappropriate word for women, right? Hordes!  Five is  It's Drive.  Five is Drive. Oh, yeah. I think we played with five as like, never have I ever, and you pulled up five fingers.

It's just like, the end. I like that one, too. That's always fun.  I tend to lose. Yeah. This is actually more boring than I thought it would be. Who cares what the rules are? Let's stop there. Okay.  It's showbiz, baby! Keep it rockin and rollin Ah! Ah!  Ah! Well, shall I get started with some more pop culture news nuggets?

I rely entirely on this podcast for all of my news, so let's go to what's happening out there. Alright, I'll tell you what's happening.  So, I, a few weeks ago at some point, recently, we had talked about, um, so Young Thug, Is his trials ongoing right now?  I'm immediately thinking about the,  those like abbreviations or whatever that somebody came up with.

That's primarily the only thing I wanted to talk about regarding his trial.  What are they again? So, I found some more. This was in a now deleted Instagram post 

So I remember, I actually, this just came to me, that Thug was like truly humble under God, is that correct? Yep, that's correct.  Yeah, everyone knows that.  And Pushin P is uh, like. One of his biggest songs, Pushin Positivity. Oh, yeah. Instead of Percocet. Um.  I was like, what does it actually stand for?

Okay. I, yeah, because I had that very same. I was like, wait, is this, should I know? Am I naive? Am I super white? So then he posts this on his Instagram while his trial is ongoing.  And gave some definition to some other words and abbreviations you may know. Starting with swag.  Someone who admires God. 

YSL, which is the name of his  alleged gang. Yes, Young Slime Life. Yeah, Young Soldiers of the Lord.  Slat. I actually don't know what that means. Slat? I have no idea. S L A T T. Not cool enough to know. Yeah. This, um, continue. I'm just gonna adjust cause this like, like beam of heavenly light from all of this discussion of the lord's soldiers is like  really kinda God's like, keep it keep, take it easy.

Take it easy. Alright. Take it easy. Okay, I think this is slightly better. That's better. I look a little like a Rudolph if I lean too close, but uh. Yeah. You turn into kind of ghostly. Yeah. Yeah. Audio listeners. I know that this is all nonsense, but, um, we're having fun. You're having fun. It's the end of the year.

It's like the last day of school, you know,  no work gets done today. I did see kiddos getting let out of school early today. So I was driving about,  yeah. My, uh, therapist. Hi, Kim  said that her kids have so much time off and I forgot about that. Like during this time of year, when you were in school, you got like. 

Basically a month. They don't go back to like, like January 8th or something. We went to the same school. I never got a month off.  We did have the two week spring breaks. We had long breaks.  I guess they were still like, we're gonna educate these children. And then like, by the time they got to you, they were like, fucking who cares. 

Yeah. It's kind of like how parenting goes, too.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Yeah, you got I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons until I was 18, and I actually got in trouble for that when I was 17. I was like  You guys don't know what South Park is, and let me watch that, and that's way worse, but I didn't, I kept that to myself.

Anyway. What I was doing and watching instead of Simpsons, and this might explain a lot about me as a person, is instead I would sneak into the playroom and watch, um, Elimidate. And next MTV dating shows like my friend  📍 Travis Silver's from USC. I don't know if he wants me to shout him out was on that show. 

And he got he he was done dirty. It was one of the ones where they just walk off the bus and they're like, next. Yeah. And he's like,  he's a sports agent in Brazil and like speak Portuguese. Now he's from Culver City in LA. Yeah.

 What's up,  📍 T Silvs? Long time. He's also featured on my college band, uh, you know, the verse on I See Upside Down. That's him.  Oh my God. Yes. Deep cut.  I'm, I'm, I'm his sister..

So, um, in a really smooth transition, I'm going to just read you one more abbreviation. Oh, yes. Abbreviations. We're having trouble staying on topic.   gang? Going above normal guys and glock  Hold on. We are not glossing past that going above normal guys  This is literally young thug writing this out just having his own  That's amazing. 

Oh, yeah. Also he has access to like a phone and shit when this happens  Is he in prison right now?  I think he's out on bail, like a two million dollar bail.  That's probably how. Fact checked me on that, homies.  And then Glock, guarding lives, overcoming challenges.  He forgot the K. It got weaker as it went on, so. 

Guarding lives, overcoming challenges. Glock?  Wow.  Okay. Yeah. He sounds like, uh, you know, somebody making up really implausible excuses to their parents and they're like, they totally bought that. And the parents are like,  I'm, my kid is an idiot. It's not your friends.  That does not belong to your friend. You are not just holding on to it.

They think I'm as dumb as they are.  I can't wait for that. Well, no, I can. I absolutely can wait for that, but that will be funny to like As now kind of being able to see it from your parents POV and be like, Oh, that's what I did too, son, daughter.  Yeah. 

Okay, we're so far off track. How is the, uh, is that all of the abbreviations? You know what, we're done. We're done with that trial. Yeah, that's it. Okay.   📍 What else is going on out there?  Um, well, it has been told, it has been said, that, um, do you remember Adam Neumann?  Uh, the WeWork? Let me tell you. The WeWork guy? 

Yes, yeah. Yeah, I do. Did you ever watch We Crashed on Apple TV Plus, by chance? Um, the, I think it's the fifth episode. Where he goes, he goes, you know, the titles of all the episodes off the top of your head. Oh, no.  It's like, Whoa,  no, he is not just a pop culture Sherpa. She's a pop culture. Like what are those things that dad likes that like take you up a 

clairvoyant?

Oh, no.  A funicular, a funicular.  Nevermind. Um, anyway. Uh, in the middle of the fifth episode, um, there's like, they go to this like, startup funding conference thing, and there's this one guy who like, rips his shirt off and does this kind of like, Bollywood dance thing, and it is the most incredible thing ever.

I learned. That dance. Yeah. I have to look the wait, do you want to  Do I want to do it? No, I mean, we're pulling clips right here, and uh,  I'll consider it later. Maybe I'll just send you a clip that I recorded of me doing it, and you can put that up on the gram. Alright, maybe we can do that. Okay. I painted myself into a corner.

Alright, I'll do that later. Uh. Yeah. That is, uh,  Wow, I like the attention to detail. I now have to go look up episode 5. That was really good. I loved, I loved that show. Anne Hathaway, Jared Leto. Yeah.  so, recently, like, within the last few weeks, WeWork announced bankruptcy.  And, which had me scratching my head, like, didn't that already?  Happen? Wasn't that the entire premise of Re Crashed? That's exactly what I thought. Well, it was for the second time.

Um, cause they basically got saved, rescued by like, some other company essentially bought WeWork. Um, and that still couldn't save it. The Japanese company from the show? Oh no!  That was the first Did they bite?  I don't remember. I need to, yeah. My brain is like a, uh,  it's like a, it's like a wet water slide when it comes to retaining information these days.  Basically, he came back in the news for that, that they're,  they've gone bankrupt again for the second time. Oh, man. Adam Newman himself.  Is still rich as fuck, somehow. I don't know how that works, but basically his assets are protected, I guess, and everybody else got screwed. So, that happened.

Meanwhile, when WeWork got bought, he apparently had started another startup. This one is called Flow, and he started this the summer of, let's see, I'm reading a Business Insider article, in the summer of 2022, and he got 350 million in funding after the whole fiasco from this, like,  Anderson Horowitz.

Better known as A16Z, one of Silicon Valley's most prestigious venture firms, and it was the single largest investment in the firm's history, instantly making Flow, which is the apartment startup, worth a billion dollars on paper. Some people were pissed off. I mean, probably with good, uh, reason, that Newman didn't deserve, like, that, uh, expensive of a second chance, but somebody did it, so, now we're like, okay, what's so cool about these apartments, right?

Um, it's Was Flo his apartment startup? Yes. If I remember correctly, they started, like, a ton of  random We everything stuff trying to get out of this light.  How am I doing? Okay, chasing you. I'm just going to go down here. If I remember correctly,  they had a bunch of so flow is the apartment startup? Yeah. 

What is flowy about it?  So,  you know, you'd think that there's something. There is a pool, it says. So, the website is super, super vague, and all it says is, okay,  The first one, the first Flo apartment is called Society Las Olas, which is in Las Olas.  Florida,  um, and it's not open yet, but basically it's on the premise of exactly like we work pretty much like people want to have a community quote want to feel like they're a part of something.

So, uh, it essentially looks like an apartment. We work. And just they put together activities for the residents to like, have community together. And it's just like a regular ass apartment that you rent. Oh, no. Um, yeah. So it's like a cruise ship. Do they have a cruise director?  Sounds terrible. Like any other apartment does this shit, nobody shows up.

It's apparently what was supposed to happen with this, or at least they haven't said like, yes, this is still coming. To the scene, but it was something that it was supposed to be some sort of like rent to own  scenario  so you could build equity. But, according to this article, neither that's not not supposed to or won't happen anytime soon.

Yeah,  so now they're just he's just making apartments  to change the world with activities. Yeah,  valued at a billion dollars, so.  What?  He must suck a mean dick. 

Just like That's the only explanation I can think of. It's just like Billy McFarland, like, why are people still giving him a platform and a chance to like, do Fyre Fest number two? Why are we do why? Like, why? Why? I don't, I don't know.  It's,  they're just, you know, top of their class at Blowjob Academy and they can just get  whole money out of the ether. 

Glot, Glot 3000, baby! . Yeah, well, good luck to him. Actually, not. I really don't care. I guess if there's a place where that would ever work, it'd probably be Florida, but yeah, it sounds like a cruise ship or summer camp to me. And the only reason that those work as well as they do is because there's like an expiration date to the experience.

There's kind of like this, you know,  Like, I'm thinking about like, Oh, they're going to like, have fun playing like cool volleyball or whatever. And then like, and then what, like what happens when everybody's like starting a fight with each other and then they're just, and also are the walls see through like they are in WeWorks?

Cause that's a,  that's a whole thing.  I don't think so, but that's, I wouldn't put it past him and the kinds of people too. That would, like, be amped about joining this apartment,  like, you couldn't just take your dog out to, take a shit, you know, in your sweats, and you're, like, it'd be Jerry, who's, like, always wanting to have a long conversation, or, take you to coffee or something, and you're like, Jerry, I don't time for you.

Jerry. Jerry. I was trying to poop out my dog. Golly.  Golly.  We'll see what happens there. Then, something else, this one is a wee bit more  bizarre. And the details are just That was funny.  That was totally intentional. One thousand percent.  Wee Bit is WeWork's, uh, spin off chain of Irish restaurants. Just a wee bit? 

Just find us at the end of the rainbow.  Ample parking. It's just a wee bit further to your left. I can't do it. I can't do it. I watched that, uh Uh, Bad Sisters, and they're all Irish in that show on Apple great show.  Oh, I see. I'll have to check, I'll have to check her out. Honestly, sometimes I feel like Irish accents are harder to understand than like,  an accent that primary language is not English, you know what I mean?

Uh huh.  I'm just running down my brain. I don't know if there is a hardest to understand accent. I watched Love Island Games, which was, It is incredible. It is peak, peak reality TV. Shout out Sarah Heckman for pushing me to watch it. And I watched it so fast.  There aren't like 56 episodes like normal. Is Sarah Heckman the, the text chain  person?

Yes! Yes! Oh! Shout out! Sarah, that was amazing. Maddy, let me read that one and like one from like Halloween or something. And uh, She sends out these like, um, insane, like, kind of chain mail style, if you don't forward this, you're gonna be cursed and die kind of things that are super explicit and lots of emojis.

I really enjoyed that. Good job, Sarah.  Good job, Sarah!  Those are incredible.  I used to think back in the day, those were like email chains when you would email your friends, you had like a school email, like in middle school, and you just like email everybody on your middle school. Like, yeah, they were like, don't forward this.

You're going to  get cursed with bad luck or something. Or seven years of bad sex or something. It was very early internet. I would get them from, like, our, like, aunts and uncles and stuff.  I'm like, no, I'm not gonna forward this. No, I'm good, thank you. 

 📍 Speaking of,, just out of pocket shit,  our king. King out of pocket is is back in the public the last time and this would be yay Kanye West, which I didn't fully realize that he totally like rebranded himself as yay. Now, like, he's not Kanye West. He's just yay.  Yeah.  I don't know what it is anymore.

Nobody does. The last time we saw him was his like random wife that came out of nowhere was like sucking him off on a boat in Venice, Italy and like paparazzi got photos of it. And like, yeah, you can see like his butt crack and stuff. Oh, no. Tell me you didn't like you looked at the pictures, didn't you?

Of course I did.  She looks like a, like, kind of like a, um,  what's that like wax museum with the celebrities? She's like the wax statue of, of Kim. Ripley's? Yes. Wait, is that it? Ripley's, like, believe it or not? That is definitely. Oh my god. Yeah.  That is,  wow, I can see it. She's like an architecture gal, like she's supposedly really smart,  young, I don't know, very bizarre.

But that was the last we like, actually saw, saw way too much of Kanye.  And he's come, he's popping back into the world because he has a new album that he's supposed to come out today at Day of Filming, Friday, December 15th.  But of course, like, his last few albums, it's not out yet.  By the way, today is my manager Waylon's birthday.

Happy birthday, Waylon. Oh my goodness, happy birthday, Waylon. Love you. He's in London. Yeah, I love him. Oh, doing it right.  Anyway, so. Fish and cheeps. 

Jay's album did not come out today. No. So the album name is vultures. Yeah.

But supposedly there's a couple things going on here there. He has a lot of, like, high.  Oh, no. High,  highly popular.  A lot of big name musicians that are featured on the album, like the album list has dropped of all the tracks and who's going to be featured on there. A bunch of high musicians. Got it. 



Yeah. Can't wait. Including, it's really a collab with Ty Dolla ign., but anyway, there's tons of different other rappers. Kodak Black. Uh, and Nicki Minaj, supposedly, but it was this, she won't sign off on the verse. And like, Kanye's also a back on Twitter and, um,  put out some screenshot of him asking Nicki to like, Hey, may I please call you about your verse on vultures?

And no response, I guess. And the text message was green.  Yeah, what the fuck?  Kanye uses an Android.  Blocked? I don't, maybe, yeah. No, I think when you're blocked and it's between two iPhones, it'll still go blue. It just won't say delivered. And then if you unblock anything sent in there, it's just like lost in a black hole.

It's gone.  Yeah, sometimes Yeah, the green to me means something like, yeah, like, I don't know. It's also the only text message in their conversation. He probably gets a brand new Android like every Friday or something. Yeah, that seems like something he would do. Yeah.  I mean,  I, I truly don't even know anymore what he would do, really.

Because some of the, so he's been going around doing these listening parties for vultures in a bunch of different cities, Miami, last, last one was in like Vegas or something.  And he's wearing a black KKK hood  on stage, like with a ton of other rappers, just like rapping a verse.  I am so confused by that. I looked up pictures of this and I like, it kind of made me feel like I need to just close this because I don't want this on my phone.

It made me feel really uncomfortable. Really icky. Yeah. I just don't get it. It's honestly, when all of these like, and there's some other complex article that was like, Kanye West is the king of like, can't being canceled and reappearing. And it's so true. There's, like, what other artist has made it through, like, fucking seven or ten cancellations for, like, crazy shit, then and then just comes back with an album and we listen to it?

Like, I'm gonna listen to it.  You know?  He is, yeah, and I think he knows that and has just sort of like become  the king of just like trolling everybody with all of this nonsense. I think that he's like, he needs, desperately needs some sort of like help. Like there's something going on  mentally with that guy.

I'm not a psychiatrist, but, um, my, my psychiatrist Spidey sense tingles anytime I see him.  Like, he, is he really, like, he's kind of on a different level of like, nobody's cancelling, cause cancelling to me implies some sort of like, there's a big reveal, like, when I looked, when you sent me the show notes for this and I googled a picture of him wearing, I didn't, I was not prepared for how, it is a KKK outfit, I was like, maybe it's just like a weird thing that looks kinda like, no, it's like a KKK outfit, it's just black, and I was, how surprised was I?

Right? Like. Zero.  Like, there's no part of me that was like, shocked, or like, we need to do something about this guy. It was like,  here we go again. He's just, America loves a trainwreck  in slow motion, and Kanye is super stoked to provide that. To everyone,  all the time. It's the only way he like, stays in the popular consciousness.

Popular consciousness.  It's true, it's wild. It's,  not, yeah. That should be shocking, like, but it's, it's just simply not. And I don't know, it feels like he does it for attention too, and A hundred percent. Like does, like does he really feel that way? I don't know, I don't want to like, give, like let him off.

Too easy, you know what I mean? But,  You know when like He's also rapping this shit in front of his daugh Like, he's doing this in front of Northwest. She's ten years old. Oh, and by the way, that's part of the next game. A quick little game. Oh! I love games. Let's play games. Let's play games. Was there anything else we wanted to add about, um, Kanye's slow motion train wreck? 

I mean, buckle up, I guess? Like, it's, the, the show's just starting. I feel like. So. I just, yeah.  Uh, go get some help, bud. It makes me feel so sad, because I was such a huge Kanye West fan, like, graduation, 808s and heartbreak. Like, he had some good shit, and he was like,  I thought, a decent dude who loved his mom.

I think that was what, I could go on all day, so we can just move on, because I, I have a lot of feelings about Kanye. Yeah, when she passed, he started to really like,  Yeah, break. Viral. Yeah.  Um, well,  uh, do better, Kanye, no more KKK stuff. Go get some help. Yeah, let's just, come on. We're all, we're all rooting for the human. 

Ain't nothing wrong with some medication. Ain't nothing wrong. Yeah.  No shame. No shame.  So,  📍 in  no other way to really, uh, transition that one too smoothly, so from that train wreck, we're going on to this one.  Sorry, that was terrible.  This is what I call, yeah, no.  Or, no yeah,  

, to a few trends that we have going on.  Or, um,  and you tell me.  I'm gonna name the trend. And you're gonna tell me. Yeah, no  for  no, I don't I'm not on board with this. This is lame or something. I get it. I'm living in California Okay. All right No,  no, yeah, it means yeah exactly. Did everybody get that?  Okay, I'm pretty sure at least we use it.

Oh, we don't use it over here in little Austin Tejas. Yeah. Oh, yeah 

All right, so lately a trend that used to be just reserved for small groups of people  I'm not gonna name them for fear of being canceled myself, but  You know, you've seen it, but it's very it's  It's not every day. People are now shaving off their eyebrows completely,  um, and either leaving it like that. 

Yeah, no.  Or drawing it on.  I googled pictures of this. And, uh, just because Doja Cat does something doesn't mean that you should, too.  In fact, do the opposite of it. I think it works better with, uh,  like, anybody who's going to, like, go in with, like, smokey eye and a whole bunch of, like, accoutrement to their  game.

I think that it can create a fun look, but it's like, it's, I feels like kind of limiting and it's definitely very like alien vibes. It's like if you want to shock value thing and you're like 19 like yeah, do it. You're going to have a blast. They're going to grow back. They do grow back, but. Uh, I saw a picture of, I think somebody just photoshopped it, of Justin Bieber and then like photoshopped his eyebrows out and it was so disturbing. 

He was like a different I think it's so scary! Yeah, it was He looked a little bit like, uh, the Golden Bachelor. But like, when he was a kid or something. It was weird.  It was real weird. It doesn't really have See, eyebrows are very sensitive to me Not really, but  They used to be a sensitive subject for me because I'm quite, quite white.

Quite, um,  um, not albino, but in the past, could have, could be, I basically had no eyebrows, and  I desperately yearned for the days in which it would, my eyebrows would appear, and they did, eventually, um,  yeah, no, no. Yeah, no. Okay, I'm glad we agree. Yeah.  Alright. Next I have for you  a no pants look. So what celebs and stars are doing lately is they're wearing like, it could also be sheer, but wearing either body suits or like, it'll look like a high waisted, you know,  bathing suit.

Yes, I looked up pictures for this as well. And, um, I'm going to go no. Yeah, I'm into it.  It is. I think it tends a little towards, because I thought it was going to be more shocking kind of looking like, Whoa, no pants, but it really just sort of looks like you're in like.  Chicago the musical or something, you know, it's a very like, I know my baby.

Hello, my darling kind of unintentional vibe to it and  just as a  fan of the female body like  That appeals to me too. I think it's great. Keep those bathing suit thong shrinking. We love it over here in dude worlds. Uh, the no pants look it's uh, it's kind of funny because I think it's like, um, created by, uh,  Um, Granny Panties, you know?

They're like, how are we gonna make Granny Panties cool again? I know! We'll just wear them as pants with tights under them or something. Cuz they're very like,  much more like, non sexy underwear that people are wearing on top. And I'm into it. I like the look. You haven't seen many pairs of Granny Panties then.

Cuz those are not Granny Panties in my opinion. Whatever, yeah. I don't, I'm not Actually, I don't want to talk about Granny Panties with my brother.  That's fair.  Yeah, I guess grainy paintings are more like those like diapers, so not those,  not those. But I see what you're saying, like they're not wearing thongs and,  well maybe some are.

Did we see any, did you see any photos of a thong? I didn't. If people are doing that, that's like too much. I bet Kanye's wife or girlfriend or whatever does that. Yeah, yeah. Like, I don't, that's like uh,  Shock value for sure. Yeah, we've gone from Chicago the Musical to The Strip Club  at that point. Yeah, real fast.

Yeah.  Um, yeah. All right. Probably both equally as talented. Um,  next we have kind of related to what we were talking about. , so Northwest made her rap debut. Um, she's it's actually quite catchy. And it's  feel a whole lot of different ways about that too. But she's going by Miss Westy. Hi, Miss Westy. It's your bestie.

Um, and she raps on a part of Ye's new song and then before that we saw Beyonce's, , Blue Ivy's a little bit older, I think. I think she's 12 or 13 or something, maybe, but she has come out on stage and became a regular part of Beyonce's concert. And then you have Drake's son, Adonis, who's probably like, fuckin six?

I don't know, he's young. Made his, quote, rap debut in like one of Drake's songs. So, my question is, how do you feel about these like, young kids of uber famous musicians, ,  I don't know, joining their parents, I guess?  Uh, I think, we're talking about like, ten year olds. That's what we're talking about. Oh, and younger, yeah. 

Um, a cute gimmick for the adult, , probably not very healthy for the child's long term. I think just being like a, uh, a celebrity of that level's kid to begin with is not great for your mental health, but, um.  No, yeah, no. Miss me with that. I just don't care. Maybe some people do.  It's a little, I  don't know.

You know, you're, apparently your own kids are not nearly as interesting to the rest of the world as they are to you, the parent. So I think this is like a version of that.  Like, um, do you think anybody is like, uh, beyond just to see what it's about is like, gonna be like, Oh, and now Drake's son Adonis is on another track.

I can't wait to hear it. Like no one's saying that. If they want to have a career, give them a chance to develop. And honestly, let's just judge them on their own merit and not start a, and develop their frontal cortex a little bit too. Yeah. There's only so much time in the day and like songs that people are going to listen to and if we're just Arbitrarily giving a bunch of that real estate to these like  it's man.

We're gonna need to have a revolution  Feel that ten year old Northwest may reach musical success I mean of he's gonna be way more famous than forever. That's fine. I sort of look at it as like  I don't know, that like, yodeling kid from Walmart or something, it's like,  it's a novelty. Yeah, that is a novelty. 

You know, well that wraps up our yeah, no, or, uh,  yeah, no, or no, yeah game for today. Love it.  Thank you, thank you, I had fun with that. I hope you did too, listeners. How's the drive going? You coming back from work? You heading to a holiday party? What's going on? You doing dishes? What are you doing? You doing your dishes?

Yeah! You hungover? Let us know in the comments how hungover you are on a scale of 1 to 6.  Have you ever tried one of those hangover hats? 3 being the most hungover. What? No, I haven't. What the fuck? 

You could definitely benefit from one. We uh, a couple people brought them for our secret Santa this year. And they're just like, have that material, it's like really jelly, and like, it  feels like, um, like a cool, a cool gel. What's this thing called? A hangover  hat. A hangover hat. Oh, people are probably screaming at me from their car or whatever.

Uh, no, I've never heard of that. Does it do anything? It felt so good. I don't know, I didn't have a hangover at the time, I could have used it after the Secret Santa party, but.  Um,  felt good. Yeah. Seems like a, like a rave toy or something.  You know? Like, something that like, people on drugs would do.  Yeah, it does, doesn't it? 

Ah, drugs are fun. Don't do it.  Dare.  Um, so, do you, are you ready for my surprise segment? It's also a quiz. I hope, I hope everybody's loving all these quizzes.  Just settle in and keep washing those dishes cuz here we go  So, you know, I'm a big fan of watching college football through the college football season and we have the end of the year is like bowl season where they have basically, you know games between teams with winning records, hopefully, and they play each other and these bulls are like the holiday bowl or the orange bowl.

Sorry, if most of y'all know this already, but there's started to be some really, really fucking weird ones that have popped up. Like we had the the Duke's Mayo Bowl where,  um, Mack Brown, the former Texas coach is now at North Carolina. Traitor is in that his team is in that bowl, the winning coach will get A, like a huge thing of mayonnaise dumped on them, a la, like a Gatorade bath, you know how they do that? 

There's like a potato bowl, they do that with french fries. There's like a Pop Tart bowl this year. And so, all of this, like, I was just sort of giggling at it, um, this morning. And so, I wanted to read you the names of a couple of these college football bowl games and see if you can guess. Um, like, see if you can guess what it is the sponsor does. 

This is amazing, okay.  And bonus points for telling me where the bowl is. And I'll keep track of your points. Listeners at home, you can play against Maddy. Here we go.  I don't know, here we go. Okay.  The Wasabi Fenway Bowl.  What does Wasabi do? Is was, is it just wasabi? What's going on there?  Ooh, what's the Fenway  Wasabi.

That's your bonus points.  Wasabi  Fenway is where the Boston Red Sox play baseball and they're having the game in that stadium. So I'll just tell you that. 'cause Wasabi is the company. What does Wasabi do? You have three seconds. Uh, creates wasabi nuts.  A good guess. They, they are apparently a, a, like a cloud storage company. 

Okay, this is going well. Uh. So creative these days.  Next up, we have the Starco Brands LA Bowl.  What is it? It's so corporate. It's corporate as fuck.  Starco. Okay, Starco.  Starco Brands  LA Bowl. Bet you can guess where it is.  LA No.  Um, Starco Brands are those like,  uh, writing Utensil brand like  . Okay. I actually forgot what this was and I just Googled it and I have no fucking idea what Starco Brands does. 

I literally, I'm going to starco brands.com/our brands. You could link this in the show notes. It's really interesting. And there's whip shots, which are boozy. Just met bougie vodka whipped cream.  Starco Brands is not a sponsor of this podcast. We're just doing this, uh, because there's a, uh, Soylent. Yeah,  there's like a spray  like butter spray butter  Nothing makes sense.

And like a, this is,  and like a perfume or a skin serum  Okay.  Fuck off, Starco Brands. We're done. Alright, good job. Zero points so far. Starco, pick your lane, dawg! AlrighMaddydie is at zero points. Uh,  next up is the, uh, the 68 Ventures Bowl. 

Awfully close to 69. Yeah! Uh, is that like a production company?  Good guest. No, no, no.  Oh, you get another guest. Go. Go. I want to hear this. Is it a,  is it a, um, a venture firm?  Another good guest. They're a, they're like a real estate construction company.  Boo. So just anyone these days can host a bowl? Sponsor a bowl?

The LA Bowl up until this year, um, I think Jimmy Kimmel was like, it's shockingly cheap to sponsor a bowl. So it was the Jimmy Kimmel LA bowl for several years. Wait, I  remember that. That's insane. Yeah.  All right. Zero points. Next up we have, I actually know what this one is. The Isleta, New Mexico bowl. 

Yeah. What is Isleta? Is it  a tortilla factory?  Good guess. It's a, it's a casino in Albuquerque.  That sounds like where I would go in hell is a casino in Albuquerque. Uh, yeah.  My good buddy, shout out, Alex Paxson, he just had a birthday, uh, sent me a meme that was like, it's like the red pill or the blue pill.

It's like, shit, I took both pills and I woke up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 

Hilarious. For those that don't know, Matthew Matt Blankenship, Jr. spent some time living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, because he was driving back from LA to LA from Austin. No, he was driving to Texas to see y'all. You had already headed out to visit the fam in like peak pandemic, mid 2020.  Oof. Yeah.  And he liked their, uh,  Huevos Rancheros.

Huevos Rancheros. Yeah. Yeah. So I moved there So he moved to Albuquerque.  God. All right. I got a few more for you. Are we feeling this? Okay. We're on a bale. How are we doing? No. Let's keep going. Zero points. Let's go. Zero points. All right. Let's do some easier ones so you can get some points. Um, we got the avocados from, avocados from Mexico.

Mexico. Curable. What is it? And where is it?  The, well, avocados, and then.  Yes, one point.  Did you say cure? Yes.  Cure? C U R E.  What are they trying to cure?  Cancer.  Uh, yes. Okay, I'll give you a half point. What kind?  Children's. No.  Way to dampen the mood.  Boob cancer.  Ah, that was my second guess.  Also known as breast cancer.

So you have 1. 5 points. And avocados do kind of look boob like. So that one kind of mixes well together. I like that. Healthy fats, good for your  tits, I don't know. Yeah, great for your tits. Um,  since, uh, we're here, I'm gonna throw in, um, Matt's fun random fact that may help you out if you're ever on Jeopardy or something.

But the word avocado It sounds very Spanish, but the word avocado in Spanish is aguacate. And so, what the hell does avocado come from? It comes from a Nahuatl word, the Aztec language, that means testicles.  Wait, what? Yeah.  And also another one, speaking of boobs, you know, um, everybody loves boba, like chewing on their little boba with little milk teeth.

You know what boba is? I hate boba, sorry. I actually love it. I used to hate it. It's slang. It's like Taiwanese slang for boobs. Boba.  They're sneaky. They snuck that one in on us. They did. That's hilarious.  That makes sense. Boba.  Uh, yeah, I'm having a, I'm having a great time, by the way. We should, I'm down to pop in and quiz you whenever.

I know we're getting close to an hour of this, but I'm just having a blast. Hopefully you got No, let's keep doing it. Hopefully the listeners back home, they got a A big mug of eggnog with way too much rum in it, and a peppermint schnapps, and there's candy canes. Is that what's in eggnog? What is eggnog? I don't know exactly.

It's like egg and some nog, and there's definitely rum in it.  You know, that's not why I call you my little Buddha. I should, I should know that. That's a good, that's a good thing to point out. Okay, we're going to give you another easy one. Okay. I just picked this one because it sounds disgusting. The cheese, the Cheez It citrus bowl. 

Citruses  and Cheez Its do not, right? Yeah. Cheez Its in Florida?  Uh, I think you're right. I'm just going to give you the point. Yes. Woo! You got it. Woo! Oh, you didn't guess where the cure bowl is. Oops. Do you want to guess where that is? For curing boob cancer. Mm hmm.  Atlanta, Georgia?  Orlando. Close. Ooh. It's in Orlando.

Okay, uh, so you have 3. 5 points. Alright, next, we got the Rely A Quest poll.  What is it? Oh, no. What does ReliaQuest do? Who named their company ReliaQuest? They need to be fined for that. Hmm. Yeah.  Um.  Go ahead. Are those travel agents, ReliaQuest? No, that, that's a, that's what it, they should be, but they're cyber security.

Boo! Boo! Um,  I don't know where that is, so we're skipping that.  Next up is the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. 

Frosted Flakes! Yes! Um, it's weird that they named it the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, and not like the Frosted Flakes Bowl, but I'm here for it. I think it's cool.  Like, no, we know why they really love us.  Um, wait.  Where's the Sun Bowl? Yeah, you got it. You got a point for the Frosted Flakes. Sun Bowl.  Arizona?  Ooh, close.

El Paso.  Um, alright, next up we got the roofclaim. com Boca Raton Bowl.  What the fuck are these names?  Ooh, ooh, I got this one.  Roofs?  In Boca Raton. Yes!  I just wanted to say it, cause I also think it's weird, they're like, this is the RoofClaim. com bowl.  That's like how they Everybody has a fucking website, why are you gonna put com in there?

Great point! It's like how they named did they rename it the, uh, Staples Center in LA, I think it was? It became Crypto. com. Yes. I still call it the Staples Center. That is such a  So rude. Yeah. Is it because Staples doesn't exist anymore? I think Staples is still around in earnest, but probably only around California.

Staples to the uninitiated is basically like Office Max or Office Depot. I don't know if either of those That's probably why they don't sponsor it anymore because people just buy staplers on the fucking Amazon now. And did OfficeMax and Office Depot, like,  I wonder how they feel about having their names so close and people just think of them as one company and yet they're rivals.

I think they're all like dead. I don't think they think any thoughts anymore. Just get it on Amazon. They passed away in the mid 90s. Um, okay. We got the Radiance Technologies Independence Bull.  We'll look at a couple more for you and then we'll get out of here. Uh, Radiance Technologies? Yes. It's a It's the  most corporate nonsense name.

Like a software  A corporate software company In Texas?  Independence? The Independence Bowl is in  Louisiana. And Radiance Technologies does  Cybersecurity again. God. These nerds. Cybersecurity nerds.  Alright, I got two more for ya.  We got the Transperfect  Music City Bowl.  Transperfect.  That's one word, the T and the P are capitalized.

What is Transperfect?  Where's the Music City Bowl? 

We got TransUnion, which is a bank, but Transperfect,  is this like an LGBTQ  I actually don't remember.  That's what it should be.  Transperfect.  Is that your guess? Did you want to make a guess?  I think, I think that's it. I think that's my guess.  Okay. It is a translation and language services company. According to The Athletic,  that's where I'm getting a lot of this info.

Huh, okay. Interesting, right? Yeah, I guess it really must be cheap to sponsor a bowl, huh? I heard Kid Rock is boycotting TransPerfect. 

Oh, fuck you, Kid Rock. Uh, all right, last one. Um, are you ready?  Ready. This is the Military Bowl, presented by GoBowling. com.  That's my favorite one.  Um, so it's a bowling  company, military bowl.  Yeah, military bowl. There's a lot of

Oh, alright, well that wraps up the quiz. That was great fun. Great fun.  It was, wasn't it? You got, uh, I  think you got, like, uh, seven or eight points. Wow! That means, out of a possible,  I don't know, like, twenty? How many, how many bowls are there, then? Uh, there are forty one. Forty one. Too many.  That's a lot. Yeah. 

Mm hmm. Sugar Bowl. If you want to, if you want to, like, start a conversation with, uh, like a dad or an uncle over the holidays, um, and they're watching football, just go over to them and real, like, jaded like, just be like,  there's way too many bowls these days. And they will love it and have a conversation with you about it. 

That's a good tip. It's a hot tip. Yeah. Use that at your own risk. And then that's when the conversation stops because no idea what else to say. Yeah, exactly.  Yeah. Um, but yeah, that was, oh, wait, we buried the lead. There is one more thing that I want to know. I can't, hopefully people are still listening. 

Well, this is their treat then. You teased this at the beginning. Um, this just came out today about a certain  friend's actor who passed away.  Yes, you guys.

Addiction is a bitch. Yeah. Well, at least we could put together a bunch of, or put to rest, like, conspiracy theories.  Um,  and uh, on a brighter note, it looks like there's a little, a little puppy behind ya.

There's a puppy. He's tellin oh! Here he comes to let me know he's done with this bullshit. He has great timing, cause we are done with the episode. And then we  saved this like, really sad news about Matthew Perry for the end, and uh. Yeah, that's one way to go. Oh, ooh!
