Brad Perry Wants a Stalker!

[Music]

Welcome back to the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast. My name is Shauna and I am here with one of my fellow Junkies today. Olivia. And we are joined by a very special guest and a good friend of the podcast. Mr. Brad Perry, he's our unofficial Pop Culture Junkie. He probably know Brad from his Emmy Award-winning TV hosting gig on the Arizona Daily Mix or one of his many other television jobs in Phoenix, San Diego or from his podcast, Things

Men Don't Talk About. Maybe you just know him from being an Instagram celebrity. So welcome back to the show Brad. Wow, that's awesome. Can I just use that intro every time I go? Yeah, just sleep that. I'm just going to put that on. Yeah. I'm going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on.

I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm just going to put that on. I'm talking about this. This is Eddie Murphy. Why is it Eddie Murphy specific? Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy. Did he stand up concert? Actually, it was one of the first kind of major movie concert. Eddie Murphy. I've seen that picture.

I forget what the name of the special was. Was it Delirious? Delirious? I was going to say Delirious. I was going to say skinned Eddie Murphy, but it's more like if we undressed him. Wow. This did go to a home at a level. What kind of... We're under a pop culture already. A home at a hyperculture right now. We're in a culture. That's where we're at. We're not skinned anybody. Not yet. That's how it goes. So, what's new Brad body but up to since last time we caught up? Well, okay.

The podcast I started. Yeah, it's all about the podcast. Things that men don't talk about. I really wanted to start this because of my own health issues. I was going through but I'd never really talked to my guy buddies about this. I was embarrassed, even to the doctor. I said, "That's a big problem." Us guys need to start talking more. Women talk all the time. Women, I mean, you know where... We know we're too much about each other to be free.

And it's so funny that I have friends I've known for 25 years. I don't really know the guys. Because we still talk like women do. So I was like, "Let's start this podcast." And I started talking to some of my celebrity friends. The first one I have is Marlon Wayans. Oh, very cool. And he talked about mental problems. That he actually is going through. And he says, "I need friends to talk to." And as guys, we have to stop thinking that we're all these tough guys. And we're tough men. We're not.

We are literally the biggest babies in the world. Seriously. Why don't you think God gave us the power to have children? Yeah. Couldn't handle it. I say balls are more fragile than ovaries. So yes, so the podcast is talking about guide things that we need to talk about. I mean, I talk about Steve Wilkos from the Steve Wilkos show. We talked about him dealing with his wife's cancer. You know, because guys, we don't talk about it.

We'll go to the golf course, "How you doing?" "How's your wife?" Well, she's going through chemotherapy and blah, blah, blah. People, what about you? No, we don't say anything. So that was a good talk. And then I had my kids on. Oh, I love that. Yes. So that was a very interesting. Because I thought I really screwed up my kids. Oh, no. I did. I was very happy. That's what happened. I was like, "Wow." That's awesome. I love that.

I go through that with my husband all the time, where he'll hang out with his guy friends and come back. And I'm like, "Oh, my God. How is he?" Fine. Is he seeing anyone? No. Where is he working now? No. What the hell did you guys even talk about? Stop. Stop. Stop. Play Smash Brothers. Yeah. That's it. I know everything about my friends. Or you ask for an update. And it's like, "Oh, yeah. They got divorced. They moved." And you're like, "What?" And tell me any of these things.

Like, the women are like, "I want to know everything, how did it happen? What were the dynamics? The luck you will." Thank you. Yeah. That's how it's got. So that's what the podcast is about. It's cool. And so I'm very happy it's starting to go another season coming up. Cool. And so some more special guests and talking or anything. So any exclusive guests you can tell us here you're expecting or hoping to have?

Let's say I'm working and we're trying to work out the schedule, but someone who has a lot of children. Oh, Nick Cannon, oh my God. Oh my God. Well, very calm. Well, it's not P-D-D. Oh. Oh. No, he, you know what I got? Supposed to go to his house, but I was like, "No, that's not the guy." No, no, no. No, no. Okay. You weren't rocking with him in Miami. Yeah. Or in LA. Okay. That's two different things right there. Yeah. Yeah. I got the love to meet Nick Cannon.

So not that you can officially say that that's him, but. No, I can't say that. Yeah. Do you think that Nick Cannon is still really good at the drums? Can you ask him that? Okay. It's got an official. I'm sorry. You know what I think he does. And then he still plays a little bit inside. Oh wow. Yeah. So, you know, he actually is a big family guy. You don't realize that. He seems like a nice guy. Like, he seems really funny from clips I've seen him. He's very smart.

I mean, he was running Nickelodeon. Yeah. He's really good at it. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I think he wasn't running it during the. Quite on the set. The drenched tighter time. Yeah. Which speaking of drenched tighter, did you see that he's filing a lawsuit? A high definition? A high definition? Yeah. Okay. But actually, he has a good point. He has a generally good case that could be argued, I think, when it comes to it. But is he technically suing ID or HBO? Do you know?

I think he's suing the whole group. Max, okay. I think he's suing the producers that produced it. He's suing the max. He's suing everybody. Because I think it was where he admit I was wrong. Yes, I was mean to, you know, my employees, my coworkers, but I wasn't with those guys. Yeah. But he also is, I mean, responsible for those guys because he hired him on. He brought them on. But actually, some people are saying that he kind of like didn't. It's the studio on them who hired these guys.

Interesting. He's saying like, I mean, there's a lot of things that they kind of insinuate in it and saying, like, you know, I'm obsessed with feet and I made an appropriate show. I mean, he is obsessed with feet. Yeah, but like people are insinuating that he was indicating a legend. A legend. A legend. So, it's actually a thing. It goes on. But that, I mean, yeah, so we'll see what happens there. But you guys come up to a good thing and that's documentaries.

How are documentaries becoming such a hot thing right now? I love them. I love it. Fossil to one every night. Do you fall asleep to one? Yeah, I have to eat. Do you have any of the beers or anything? No. No. What do you fall asleep to? So it really does depend. Sometimes I love like a history one, which is more like 15th century like history is very rare. I will fall asleep to a true crime documentary. Have you liked this one last night? Is it a thriller killer stalker or whatever?

Yeah, so I have. It's good. What is, which one? A lover killer stalker. That's it. That's it. It's actually about this guy who goes on a date with this woman like once and is actually like communicating like, I don't want anything serious. Like we should not do anything if you're not okay with that. Like I'm freshly divorced. I don't want to be with anyone. She's like, cool. Love that. And then goes insane. She ends up like murdering this woman that speaks to him. Right.

It's like being reindeer. Yeah. I did start it. I did start it. I finished it. I finished it. But I actually did kind of tell me what happened. I did a little bit because we talked about it a couple episodes ago. Yeah. And she was like, Sean, that sounds terrible. Yeah. And so many people wronged me. Have you ever had a stalker because the queue have fame? You know? I wish. I was right in the wrong way. You know, it's like, I'm like, hey, wait. Yeah, come on over. Come on over. You know what?

You just stand outside my house. Something. You know? Just watch me from afar. Just leave a solo diet coke on my door. You don't have to ask. Doesn't matter. Does something. If you leave a diet coke out, I will come over and stop. Yeah. Oh, the whole six pack. I'm going to go to the whole six pack out. She might go out a little bit. It doesn't matter. I'm going to stalk her. I don't know how they got there. Oh, no. Leave a little shot of tequila to diet coke out. You're right in the door open.

Uh-huh. I'm not. I had a stalker. But I've had people claim that they have are dating me. I don't know if that's considered the same stalker. That's maybe a severe behavior. It's weird behavior. Yeah, I had someone like, I love him, but like we are together. We are. So I had someone who had a picture of me. I had taken a picture with them and it was on their desk. Or at their, yeah, their desk got to say. And their coworker came by. And I was like, oh, how do you know? Brands.

Like, oh, well, we've been dating for three years. We're in love. Two years. And she's like, what do you mean? Because I know who exactly date. What's going on here? And so then I was like, I'm front of like, I don't know who that is. What's going on? Oh my gosh. That was one. And I think that's it. I don't think I've had been any. But I've had people say they're me. That's the best one. Okay. I love telling the story. Oh, yes. This is the best story I have of someone thinking that I was there.

So back in the day, I would be going to Vegas every weekend. Don't understand why she divorced me. And we're going to be in a spa. And then it's spying. Spying. Spying. Spying. Spying. So I go one week and with a buddy of mine, we're over there and he gets back and one of his friends calls him and says, oh, dude, you missed the party of the year. We missed my party. Like, Sarah night was off the hook. Like Brad Perry was there in the hot tub with like the strippers.

Okay. And can I say that on the page? Yes. Okay. I was so much worried. So I think you said so much. I have. So like, yeah. So like Brad Perry was there in the hot tub with strippers. And my buddy's like Brad Perry from like TV. Yeah. Three to three. Yeah. That's what I was worried. And you're standing like he's there and he was doing coke off their asses. And he's like Brad Perry from good morning. Yeah. Was in your hot tub doing coke off of strippers. And he goes. That wasn't Brad Perry.

Yeah. He was in Vegas because I have the receipts. And he has my whole telltun. Like my name from the whole telltunary thing. And I was like, I don't know. I don't know. But then I have a lot of words. People come up to me and go, oh my god, I had so much fun with you the other night. And I was like, what do you mean me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I touched the bar. Remember at the bar. I was like, do you have like an evil twin following around? Maybe not evil. I like a stripper loving twin.

Well, see, I would all say guys. So it could be that at the time. So I can say that. I think I was doing coke off a stripper. I was like, you know what? I'm going to drop those guys. You know what? You're going to drop those guys. You're going to drop those guys. You're going to drop those guys. You're going to drop those guys. You're going to drop those guys. You're going to drop those guys.

You're going to drop those guys. You're going to drop those guys. Yeah. (laughs) - That's probably fans. - I sent. - Yeah. - It just, - It's not my fucking silks. - It's the hottest golf in the campaign. - I have a couple fans on my Instagram. - And they send you money? - They just send me money, 'cause they're like you're so pretty. And just send me 30 bucks. One day, I put, - I can't eat those, you know. - The National Women's Day, you should send me 30 dollars and everyone.

Like all these men were just sending me money. - It's incredible. - Yeah, it's incredible. - You know, that's, I mean, you don't do anything or what you do. - I post news, I'm happily married. - I mean, not that you, you know, and no shame. - No shame to anybody who's married and post news. - Yeah, no, no, but you gotta, I mean, that money, Brad. - I'm sending some of my gothies on them. - Sim's got a Sim. - That's all that. - Oh my gosh.

- She acknowledged them, so I think that's like the dopamine and the brain, you know. - See, I, it doesn't have to me. - Who really does it for some guys? - Yeah. See, that's where, that's where we're going, 'cause like, see back in my day, we didn't have social media. - I mean, a stalker literally had to show up. - Yeah. - Like a stalker had to be at your work or at your house or something. - Yes, that'd be dedicated to you. - That'd be actually, yeah.

- To be actually the bush is, you had to, you know, be in the back of their car. - Yeah. - You know, that's just like an air gun. - No, they're gonna look up Instagram. - How are you? I'm not saying that's me, but in my cell. - Yeah, yeah. - And then you found the next one. - You're like, ask your ex's house. - Yeah, this is good little. - Yeah. - But, I mean, but that's again, that's about pop culture right there. - That is, that's about culture of where you stalkers used to really stalk.

- Exactly, and now it's like people are so accessible. And I mean, it's kind of scary. Like I guess if I, you know, I joke about it, but, we do it's could totally like, it's find your location. - Yeah, that guy. - That guy who's a Taylor Swift stalker and like showed up at the Drew Barrymore, like, - Show. - Show, like tried to get on stage with her. Like, yeah, he was like harassing Taylor too. And so people get really insane about it. - Don't actually stalk us guys, just send us money.

- Yeah, just send us money. - Just send us money. - Yeah, he daughters to be cute. - Yeah, three bucks, oh. Also, he's a V. I guess, I don't know. - He'll be like, you can say that you saw me hang out with strippers and start cooking. To anyone, you can face to me in any time. And I'll say, yup, that happened. (laughing) - Oh my God. Oh my God. - Sorry about it. - I'm working. - I'm in the subscription model. - Yeah, I know. - Yeah, we do offer up nip pictures of Nicole's feet.

- Yeah. - Yeah. - Our only friend, oh God. - Oh my God. - Our Patriots. - This is where she's getting all the money from. - I know. - This is, this show is really taking a different, (laughing) - What kind of work? - What's with all the needs of the leather stuff? - Yeah, what's with, what's with it? - It's a murky leather, it's a kind of... - What's with the skin? - What's with skin? - We got some ice cream, we got some ice cream. (laughing) - Oh my goodness. - Oh my goodness.

- But yeah, so speaking of documentaries, as we're talking here, I'm actually doing a documentary. - Oh, that's a lot of work. - I'm trained to be an underwear model. - Oh my God. - Why the room goes silent all of a sudden? - I'm coming. - The room just went silent very quickly. - It was a quick break from all of it. - That was it. - Is that what it was? - Is there a target like campaign or just like what? - So I, you know what right now?

I mean, I would like to probably be like municipal, which is Mark Wahlberg's company. - Okay. - So because I've been, I've been trolling him. - Okay. - So very heavily on Instagram. - Okay. - And he's actually like my stuff back. Literally thanks to him, I've had over, almost a million views of my videos that I've done about him. - Wow. - We just start doing some mark mark video. - Okay. - That's the only, but I don't mean, you know, my son was an underwear model.

- Okay. - So I'm a pair of these underwear, and he was her first like model in the campaign. So I'm like, hey, you know what? - It's in the fan. - It has to be in the family, you know what I'm saying? - Yeah. - But so, yeah, so I'm starting to train, so I'm documenting it. - Okay. - And so, yeah. So it's a doctor grammar, you can go to the unofficial brand ambassador, because no one's sponsoring me. So, I'm sponsoring myself. And just pretend like people are sponsoring me.

- Yeah. - So that's why I'm doing, but no, I'm trying to be under a model. - So we find it interesting. - So what goes in to becoming an underwear model in case we wanted to follow your footsteps? - You don't eat. - You don't eat. - Well, right now, yeah. So like, really, I've lost 60 pounds trying to get done. - Yeah. - Thank you. - I'm going to go over here. - Yeah. - Yeah. - So I'll start training, and so in the abs, that's the part I gotta build the abs. That's the main thing they look at.

- The main thing. - So, yeah, the V. - The V. - The V. - The V. - Oh, is that what it is? - Okay, for guys too? - Yes. - Well, it's like the muscle V. - Right. - It's the muscle. - It's the muscle V. - Yeah, that's the underwear. - Okay, that's the V. - Yeah, that was the layers. I guess we're really, like, look at those layers. And all there goes is the data. - That's the proof. - Yeah, it's like a win. - So the V. - Yeah, I gotta work that.

- So the thing is Mark Wahlberg, he was an underwear model. - Yeah. - Mark the Mark. - So I thought, yeah, go with this company. But I am a boxer, not a brief guy. - Okay. - So just so, you know, I hope that does not seem to be. - It's not okay, no, it's not. - No, it's not. - Or the sports boxers kind of, like, yeah, I'm not a cool person. - I'm not like the bag, okay. - We have like, Bart Simpson prints on us.

- Yeah, I'm not like the tie-porns, yeah, I'm like, I really wanna, I wanna make sure the package is seen. - So you see some of his pants are like, don't see Bart on your own. - No, we're talking about that. - It's all worth it. - Yeah. - But that's the thing. So it's a good duck, you see. - Yeah, so that goes into a lot of training, just a lot of, you know, dieting right now. - Okay. - And then just kind of like just, I mean, just putting word out there.

- And then eventually you have to wear underwear on camera. - I wanna billboard in Times Square. - Oh, there. - I wanna billboard. I want like, just, you know, like whatever company takes me. - Yeah. - They're in Times Square, I'm about to, like, you know, maybe I'm on the today show or somewhere where I'm wearing. - In your underwear. - Well, I'm in Times Square and I reveal me, yeah, then I take off my robe or something. And so it's also funny, you know, there's the naked cowboy.

- I remember the naked cowboy. - Yeah. - And he's in Times Square, where's the underwear, I'm still. - He's in his underwear in public. - Yeah. - So I'm, but, but, and then that's the goal. - Okay. - And also makes money. - Okay, like it. I'm gonna bring in like the leg brand outreach and document that, like how you're gonna try to do that. - Well, that will hopefully be the second part.

And so I'm hoping is that someone picks up the documentary for real and then like follows me all the way to like the auditions that are going to do to get this. - I think that's incredible. - And then like all the fame or no fame or what happens. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's very cool. - You know what? - Reach out to Skins. - Yeah. - You know what, what do you do? - You know what I'm trying to do. - Uh, savage Fenty. - Yeah. - Do they do men? - Cools? - Yes. - Yeah, savage Fenty definitely does.

- We do. - I know Skins does too, actually. - But that's gonna, I have to be gangster. - Yeah, I think it could get 10,000, right? - Yeah. - No. - No. - No. - No. - I think you could do it. - I think it does a lot of different ones. - No, she doesn't think I-- - Who's me, shelling Kim Kardashian, never. - Yeah. - But, yeah, that's two though. She has a lot of different types of models and stuff. - Right. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Yeah. - You know, 55 doing this because I could have said, you know what, at 55, I'm gonna go run a marathon. Whoa. Or climb a mountain. Ooh, mountain Everest. - No. - No. - Underpants model is much better. - Underwear money. - Underwear money. - Yeah. - Underwear model money. - Yeah, that's it right there. - Oh, look. Maybe we should do that too. - Well, I think that'll help you. - Well, are you already doing it? You're getting 30 bucks for doing nothing. - Yeah.

- You're not making that. - You're making-- - I don't even have to wear my underpants on here. - You're making a lot more than me. - I am in my bathing suit sometimes. - Wow. - Okay. - No, I'm taught. No, let's go to your back. This is one to hold a baby here. - That husband's listening like-- - What? - He's like, wait, what is this? - Oh, God. - Is it dirty or what? - He's like, what's the deep side? - Yeah. - This is crazy. - Where that money's been coming from. (laughing) - Oh my God.

Let's talk about TV. Let's talk about Dave. We were on this a little bit. I want to ask you ladies. - Yes. - Just what is now like, as we're watching the way the world is turning in media, from social media to doc to streaming and stuff. I mean, as you guys are watching the pop culture on this one, where do you think we're going? Where do you think? That's on the planet. I'm here with you. - Yes. - I would definitely say like short form content.

I do think like the rise of YouTube and the long term success of it really kind of has brought people into video content, video essay style content. Where people want to learn a lot, and I think a lot of information can be quickly like put out and people want that kind of quick dopamine hit with it. - In shorter. - Yes. - 'Cause yeah, but I will say too. I mean, I watch some of these, you know, reels and stuff and YouTube to do something.

I kind of want to build like a house in my backyard after watching people. - Right. - Right. - Honestly, I'm looking at videos right now too to like convert a shed, not really a shed, but like the she shed. - I want a she shed. - Right. - I want to make it into a jam, but like, we'll go into the insulation and like the dry walling and all that stuff. YouTube is perfect for that. - It is but not because I literally want to start the project and no, it's not like it.

- I guess they kind of give you like the overarching and make it look a lot more simple than it is. - Yeah, and I think also too, I think they have a crew off there with them and they make it like a bite or so. I think they got a whole bunch of people sitting off to the back. - Yeah. - He's like, all right, let's go ahead and hammer this side, you know, four by four to the three by seven to the four by four. Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.

- He has the lighting bulb is lighting up, good on him. - And then it's like boom, and there's the wall. (laughing) - You know what, that happened. - No, it's not coming to me. - Yeah. - I mean, I mean, I didn't even just cut the grass in a certain way, didn't come out, so. - I guess that's true. When I've tried to paint my own office, I watched so many reels of like, people just go in four strokes, just up down walls painted. That shit took me days and it looked so bad. - Right.

- It looked so bad. - It's not the magic. - I'm never painting my own walls again. I'm sharing it from that. - That's funny. - I think we'll have like what will be the future of pop culture? What do you think the pop culture and the future is gonna be? These reels and stuff for people. I mean, I really have a soft spot for just like, really good well-made shows. I think that, I mean, Cable's dead, we all know that. That's been for a while. I think so.

Unless you think everything old is gonna become new again, just like every other cycle and adventure. - I work in your TV. - Yeah. - So as we know, linear TV is, I think it's making the comeback and I think that's what's gonna be the thing. 'Cause I think everyone's over the street. That's why I want to ask you. - Yeah. - I think it's important to know more and more people are definitely from streaming 'cause it's over. It's so much.

Like we're talking, we got maybe reindeer, we have the documentaries, we have everything in our fingertips. And I hate that I watch something. I just got to watching a man full. I think it's called that. With a man full on Netflix and it's-- - Seeing there's so much that you can name shows and everyone else is reading her. - No. - And like, when that come out, well, you know, I can't help. - You know, there's seven seasons of it. - Yeah. - And so it's supposed to be so much fun.

- I feel like it's getting over. - Yes. - You know, and it reminds me like going to concerts and stuff. And now all of a sudden, I see people from Gen Z using digital cameras. - Yeah. - At concerts? - Yeah. - It's because it's hip. So maybe you got that right with the cable thing. It's like we get so oversaturated in every single channel needs, an streaming thing. And eventually we're like, you know what'd be great if you could just turn on the TV? - I put something.

- And just split your channels and watch something. - Yeah. I hate to say, I feel like stopped in like this watch commercials. (laughing) I don't know why. - You missed it. - I mean, you get, you get, you get, you get, you get sponsors yet. - Yeah, I get some sponsors. - I'll tell you some good sponsors. You want to get for commercials? - Yeah, yeah. - Sponsors. - Yeah. - So that was one way to go. - Way to go. - We're plugging. - You need a check.

(laughing) - You know how many it's, it's, it's, - I do think it's, it's really interesting. I think there is a big return to movies and just kind of an nostalgia in general. I think it is a bit of escapism where you can like, go back to not, not even just your childhood, but maybe like, simpler times where you had less information in your brain. So I think it's kind of this, this interesting juxtaposition.

I do think that Hollywood's ability to pick who we like and who we care about is forever changed. - Oh yeah. - Just because you have the ability to really appeal to so many people. And now it's like, we do have that voice. You told us who we have to like. - And I think also too, it's where, you know, we talk about, we have like in, for instance, like, you know, on social media, you have to have to certain amount of followers. That's why I'm like, you know, trying to get myself out.

- Yeah. - If you have to have some amount of followers from the name, talk to you. And I think that's wrong. And like, look at your video, your content, and your, and your track record, you know? Because there's a lot of people out there who, who shouldn't be. I need to say that. - Oh, absolutely. People get, gosh, it's so funny. Like, I've been trying to build up my following two and same with the podcast. And it's like, you put out so much content.

And then you see people who get viral for the silliest stuff. - Yeah. - And you think, man, I blew it. - And then someone goes and, you know, hires them. It's like, because they got one million views. Like, we're gonna hire them. And the person's terrible. I mean, I'm going there right now. I have production company agents who spent, I mean, literally millions. I'm talking hundreds of millions on influencers. - Geez. - And they just know, flat and stuff.

And that's, you know, but that's why, like, you guys don't, you guys have something to talk about it's there and it works and stuff. - Yeah, I think micro influencers have a lot more like, pull, like if you look at like a Charlie Demelio, who in like 2021, 2022, most followers on TikTok got so many brand deals, went nowhere, took all the money. None of it was authentic. They did like a Kardashian style show. But the only people who watched that were like, already Demelio stands.

- Yeah, like, they're not gonna get in new people. - Yeah, yeah. - Because a lot of people, unless you know who that is, I'm gonna just watch this show. - Yeah, and it's bad. - Or whatever. - Yeah, I give you a chance if it's not. It's not good. - It's not good. - It's not interesting, right? - Yeah, no, no, no, no. I think like, I want well-produced television, like BabyRainDue, a unique television. - Yeah, you need to. - So, like, Challengers is having a moment.

Salt Burton was having a moment because they are these unique scripts. - It's shocking because it's so weird and different. - Yeah, I think that's the thing with BabyRainDue too. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Do you see Kristen, what's her name from? - Kristen Stewart. - Yeah, her movie. - Oh, and Oscar Isaac. Yeah, they're doing a movie together. - No. - She has that one. - No, it's new one. - She's dating a fighter, something. - Yeah, she's dating a fighter. - Oh, I'm not seeing it, but.

- You're talking about weird. - I've heard it's good. - Yeah, that one is like, you're talking off the cuff and weird. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, you have to watch it. - Yeah, that's the one in the press when she's showing up in all those crazy outfits were like, - Oh, okay, yes. - Yes, it was for that. - Well, if you didn't know, Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac are doing a movie together and it's in the 80s and their vampires. - What? - She's a vampire. - Did she ever play that role before?

- So weird for her. - No, she's edgy. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That edgy one. - Wow. - Wow. - Okay, I love Oscar. - I love Oscar. - I love Oscar. - I think, well, I have to check that one out for him. - Sam, yeah. - Did you watch Fallout at all? - Oh my God, yeah, I love it. - Oh, is it first episode? - Oh, okay. - You're still in the first episode? - I know. - We won't spoil anything for you. - I know. - I'm ruin, I know everything. - Put the worlds. - Yeah. - Yes, yeah.

- Yeah, I know, it's really cool. - It's a real crazy. - I've seen people play the video game before. So like I vaguely, vaguely now. - But no, the show is amazing. And season two, I guess, right? I think I'm gonna do the season. - Oh, they have to. - They have to. - They have to. It does end on a nice cliffhanger, so it sets it up perfectly for season two. - Yeah, and a lot of good TV shows based on video games in the last two years or so.

Which is weird because for a while, that did not have the best track record. Anytime you heard all this movie of this TV show is based on a video game. - Well, 'cause they were trying to make it like first person, like a shot versus like making it like a normal, like the old ones. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - They tried to just, yeah. - Duke Shoot 'em. - Duke Shoot 'em. - Duke Nukem, there it is. - Yeah, yeah. - Duke Shoot 'em. - So. - Okay. - Yeah, that looks great.

Yeah, you have to let me know how you like it as we go on. - All right, what else? What else do you want to know? What else, let's do this? Talk to me. Go ahead, I'm-- - Gosh, yeah. - Okay, so my questions that I came up with were who is your favorite person you've ever interviewed? - Besides the podcast. - Like any other podcast. - Yeah, besides us, you know? - Oprah. - Oh, Oprah. - Okay, why was it like the scenes at the time? - Where was she in her career?

- So she was at the height of her career. - Oh. - She was launching her magazine. - Oh, wow, okay, so oh magazine. - Oh magazine, I love it. - And I get invited out. - Okay. - Floan out Chicago. - Which home? - Where I'm from. - You know, Chicago's home. - Nice. - Chicago was where I'm from. - From Hillsdale, so. - There you go, all right. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - There I am, yeah. - And I knew Harpo Studio 'cause people worked there. I actually applied for a job there.

I've gone to the show to watch taping, so I'm in the studio. I'm there, I've got the chairs, everything's there. Beautiful, like you're like, and then she comes out. - That would have been so good. - And she's just a daughter. - She's just entering the room. - Yeah, comes out. Make sure the dogs are taken care of. All right, and make sure to do that. I'm like, oh my god, I hope we're just like bossing people around. This is awesome. This is awesome. - Oh, I don't do that. - It's awesome.

- And so please boss me around. - Please boss me around. - Tell me, do something, you know. And what happens, you get to see that other people interviewing before and like, you know, the person before me is like, oh, like, what's up, girl, what's happening? - Yeah, I'm like, oh my god, you're good, oh my god. - Then it comes to me. - How you doing? - It comes to me and it's like, talks to me. I'm like, okay, and I'm trying to be serious and I want to be.

So then I bring up the thing that listen, I wanted to say to you is that I'm so happy. I'm sitting down with you because I knew Stedman, 'cause he lived on my block. And I would be at events. I worked on movies and stuff and Oprah would come by and I would run to my trailer. - Oh my god. - So I would tell her, like, 'cause I was assistant there and I'd be at a trailer. So I'd run into a trailer and hide when Oprah came to set.

So I'm telling her this, like, oh my god, it's like, I was afraid to-- - I actually get to talk to you. - And now I get to sit and interview in this such important thing and she's like, oh, baby, you should've said hello to me. What's going on? And I was like, yeah, this is good. This is good. - That was full circle. - For a circle. And then the best part was at the end, I go listen, Oprah. Everything you touch turns to go. This magazine's gonna be amazing. Everything you do and stuff.

Do you mind laying your hands on me? (laughing) - Well, you blessed me. - In blessed. - And she did. - Yeah. - So did the blessing work. - I'm sitting here with you guys. - Yeah, that's true. - That's the whole thing. - Let's see what that golden is. - I'm just saying. - I'm not the one. - Did it work? I mean, it's definitely cool too. - Seven's great. Seven's great. Yeah, he was actually a mentor of mine. That's how I started to get to know him. - That's incredible.

- Like, yeah, he was like a nice little inspiration mentor. I would see him at the TV station where I was working for Jenny Jones show. - Yeah, man, they've been together for a long time now. - They happen, they happen. It's an interesting relationship, I think, just to where it's just like almost, cheaper to keep or just like, you know. - It's like Beyonce and Jay-Z almost. - Yeah, it's almost like you're there. - Yeah, your business at the point. - That's your buddy, that's a partner.

- That's a business, I think just kind of like. - Yeah. - I think it's like those, I mean, it could happen. Not just because it's Oprah or Jay-Z and Beyonce and Stephanie and I think, I think you just see those, I'm gonna say old people have been together forever. - Yeah. - And you kind of ask, like, what's the secret? Like, you guys are just there, you know, they're like, - Yeah. - Didn't really want to go anywhere. - Yeah. - You don't want to do that. - Didn't want to do that.

- Did you want to do that? - Did you want to have the foundation? - Yeah, I don't want to make it on a deal. You know, I'm like, I have to go find someone else. It's gonna be another headache, you know, kind of rollercoaster. I think that's the thing about what those two, know about. - I think a lot. - Yeah. - You think about everything she has to go through or she had a date again. - Yeah. - She had to do the background check, just security check. - Can you guys hear that?

- I'm the dating scene. - And so. - Yeah. - I would hope she would just get some like, really young hot man. - Oh, yeah. - Just got a pull boy. - Yeah. - Get a pull boy. - Get a pull boy. - Get a pull boy. - Where has he been? Is he in the industry? - He's been dating anybody now? - You know what I was, I know I saw him at some kind of event. They were, you know, he was there doing, I think it wasn't Miley Cyrus's New Year's Eve party. - I think that was, they took a couple of years ago.

- No, that was last year. - I saw him in a stand up, I saw him in Phoenix last year. - Okay. - He was hilarious. - Yeah, he's done a stand up in the TV show on the peacock. - I liked it. - So it was good, it was cute. - Yeah. - I don't know what he's doing now. I mean, I think that's the thing. Stars are so lucky they can go disappear for a while and get cleaned up and lose weight, do everything like that and come back. - Right, yeah. - And it's like, you know, we do that now.

We're like, whoah, like, where you been? - You're fired. - Dude, I would love to just like, disappear for months. Come back and just, foot, heel, 30 pounds, gong. - Right. - Everything just ready to go. - That's what I'm saying. - They're making it so. - Yeah. - But Dave was in the out. So, but that was, yeah, that was a really good, that we wrapped it right from. - Love that. (dramatic music) - Now, who was a not the nicest person? - An unpleasant interview. - Yeah. - Or just interaction.

- Trying to think about it. - You can see so without getting. - Probably. - You could, you could blind item it too. - Probably do. - Oh, you could blind item it too. - You could be like, how we did with unnamed man earlier. - Yeah, but no, I would probably say, like, interview wise, I don't think I've had any bad interview people. Like, I'd never really had anybody. - Be a diva. - Oh, I can. - I'm very lucky with that. - Yeah. - But I will say afterwards, that's the part.

So, I'd say Mike Tyson is probably the one that really. - You seem like he'd be very friendly, dude. I don't know. - So, Dave, I'd say Mike Tyson's story when I was here last time. - I don't think so. - Well, you haven't heard it. - You haven't heard it. - But, did I say it by time I might take some time? - Did we have Mike Tyson and last time? - No. - Did we have him on? - We haven't had him on yet. - Not yet. - He's nice. - Be careful with Mike. - Maybe with the Jake Paul fight.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy right there. - I want him to kick Jake Paul's ass. - It's going to hurt me. - Oh my God, I want him to kick Paul's ass. - Yeah, that means, well, okay. How can he still get punched in the head? - Oh my God. - And be physically operating a body. - That's what I'm saying. - I didn't wear it to the CT. - He was beaten up by the people. He really wasn't getting hit. - Yeah. - But he's just, he's just, I want Jake Paul to like, he's called him and shit his pants.

I want it to be bad. - You know what I want? - I want him to lose both of the ass. - So this is a great, I forgot what the podcast was, but it was when Mike Tyson was introducing his new weed strand. - Mm-hmm. - And so the guy with him is like, you know, let's try this weed and I think, and Mike's like, sure, let's do it. And all of a sudden they do it. They go, okay, we'll be back. We're going to go have a smoke and everything like that.

So they smoke and they come back and Mike's like, dude, I'm so glad to be back here, man. This is so awesome. And last month when we were here together, it was really cool. I think guys like, Mike, month, it was just 25 minutes ago. (laughing) - How much did you smoke? Like what's going on here? - The CT's, CT. - Yeah, like that sounds like-- - It's actually fair that sounds like me when I smoke. It's been 17 hours. Sean has been authorizing a lot of meds of full calendar month.

- Yeah, that's true. - That's a big spread. - But Tyson was-- - It's been six years. - My experience with Tyson was that when I was doing the morning show, he lived here in town, like right by the station. So I'm at the grocery store and I hear, Brad, Brad Perry. (laughing) - That's a good one. - Brad Perry and I'm like, - I'm like, - Brad, hey, come here, let me talk to you, come here. - It's my Tyson. - Yeah. - So I'm like, "Oh, my Tyson's right here."

So I come over like, yeah, he goes, I just wanna say, I like your show. You're funny, you're a funny guy. I get up and more, you're pretty cool, man. - That's amazing. - Take care. And I'm like, "Okay, just don't bite me." - Yeah. - That's what I mean. - Don't bite me, don't hit me. And don't like, and so I'm like, "Oh, thanks, Mike. This is great." You're awesome, you're like that. And so he was with one of his handlers that I knew.

And so I'm like, "Hey, man, how you doing great?" And I'm like, "Okay, cool." Mike thinks like, "Yeah, man, well, you're awesome." The next night was a celebrity basketball game used to have down at the arena. And I am there with everything to open people up a head brand or a thing. And I see Mike and I'm like, "Oh, let me go and say my mic, come on." Hey, I go, "Hey, Mr. Tyson, how you doing?" What the fuck do you want? (laughing) Get the hell away from me. What the hell? Who are you?

You want a fuck? I'll be here. Oh my god. And I was like, "What in the world?" You said I'd be yesterday. Exactly. Oh my god. And I was like, "What in the world's cool?" And I was like, "That's that CTE CTE CTE." And Mike Tyson, that was technically like 30 years later. That's the thing. You know? Like, or like before NewMe. If we take the 25 minutes to 30 days, that's true. That's the whole day. That's like 30 years for him. You know?

Crazy. So I was like, "What's going on?" And his hand was like, "Just walk away, Brandon." Was it so mad? Yeah. Yeah. I know the guy is like, "Sorry, man." He kind of was like, "Okay." But he was used to Mike having these loose wings and stuff. And so, but that was the craziest one where I was like, "Oh my god." Because like other people, I will see like, you know, my John Kelly who does a funny, should ask. And I know John for a long time.

But I might not see John like, I see him once a year at the Oscar Prize. Yeah. And I know that I'm out there. And we're like, we never missed a beat. Like I see him here and there. Like, that's the kind of thing. But like, Mike, I just saw him the whole day. One day. One day. One day. He's like, "Get the, I mean, it'll way through." It was crazy. So, yeah. But that was, that's probably the worst. I think Mike Tyson being like, "I'll be your ass." Is, "Counsis, the worst celebrity experience."

That was, I would run. Maybe one of the buss. Like, I get to take the bus. - I like to tell this story. - Yeah, now are we sure? It was Mike Tyson, you know? (laughing) - It was the obstacle. - It was the god. (laughing) - It was Mike, which was great. And I think, no, I mean, I've been very lucky to me a lot of people. I mean, you know, gosh, I'm trying to think that, you know, the people I liked to meet actually, would be Lenny Kravitz and-- - And I'd like to meet him too.

- Right, Lenny Kravitz. - That's why, that's the best spot I've ever met. - Emily Sibote and Zoe Kravitz. - Literally the whole family. - Literally the whole family. - They're just all so beautiful. - They're all favorite beautiful people. - Yeah, my god. - Yeah. - I know Jason Mos, I don't know what's on with him. I don't know why he got rid of her. I don't like him and love with, and I've always been, is Cree Summer. She was with a different world.

Yes, beautiful. - I think it was what I was going to do. - I'm going to go on Cree Summer. - Okay. - Love her. I'm like, that's who also I liked to meet. If I can just, you know, just go with it. - How do you spell Cree? - C-R-E-E Summer. - Okay. - Cree Summer. - Yeah, it's going to be a fair. - Beautiful as anything. - Who's going to be the first? - I was the most strikingly attractive. - Oh, I've, yes. - Oh, yes. - Yeah, Cree Summer. - That fashion. - Yeah, fashion. - Striculous. - Striculous.

- I mean, I've. - We're just like that person has like a presence. - Gosh, I'm trying to think. - I'm putting it on the spot. - How are you, Barry? - Oh, I'm like, this is amazing. And I've. - When did you meet her near Catwoman time? - No, I met her during using times. - I met her during using times. - She was so beautiful, and she was like, "Wake with monsters, Bob!" - She was, it's right around the same time. - Yeah, it was like, give her take a two-year costume.

- Yeah, I met her during Luz and Isaiah. So we were, I worked on Luz and Isaiah, and I have this amazing picture actually of her and my daughter, when my daughter was just a baby. - Oh, that's amazing. - And it's her, her holding Olivia, my daughter. And she's fine. - Oh, no. - I was there. - Yeah. - But the best, the autograph says, "Olivier, you will not remember this day, but this is the day I fell in love with you." - Oh, it's like, "Jorable." - It was awesome. It was a great.

- I know anything like that from Halle Berry. - Yeah, thanks, parents. - Thanks, my dad. - I'm in bed. So, yeah, but I mean, she's, Halle Berry definitely striking, beautiful. And I'm trying to think who, I mean, I think if I, I think I'd probably fall apart with what's her name from America's Got Talent. What's her name? Who does all the costumes and stuff? - Paul Abdul? - No, no, no. - That's American Idol. You stand on that one. - What's her name? - America's Got Talent.

- Australian. - Oh, Heidi Klum. - Thank you. - Oh my goodness. - Heidi Klum. - Heidi Klum's Halloween costumes. That's when I want to meet her. I want to meet her when she's in full on warm. - Oh, okay. - Right. - So that's what she's like kind of. - That's what she's like kind of. - She would be very, I think I would be this like, oh my God. - Oh my God. (laughing) - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That would be me if I met Lady Gaga.

I like to think that I'm a pretty articulate person, but if I met Gaga, it'd be Jen. - But you know, these people, you could meet, you know that, you know they walk around. - Yeah. - I mean like New York City maybe. - Or anywhere when they come out here, you know they come to Phoenix a lot. - Yeah. - That's where. - There's a lot of you. - Alicia Keys lives right here in Paradise Valley. - Oh my God. - Walking around. - I'm like, oh my God.

- Yeah. - We're just gonna go on a hot girl walk in Paradise Valley, you know. - So I tell you one person I know is very stunning that did take my breath away in person is Robin Wright. - Robin Wright. - Yes, Robin Wright. - Oh. - Yes. - So I lived in Holoja when I was living in San Diego and I go to a little taco place called Rubios. - Mm. - And she's there. And she's there by herself. And this is the funny thing was, this is when she got the haircut for House of Cards.

- House of Cards and no one knew it yet, right? - Yeah. - And it was like before it. So I'm looking, I'm going. - You had the scoop. - I saw it and I was like, oh my God, this girl's beautiful. Was she like, who's this lady? I'm like, oh my God. - Yay. - I'm like, you're just small back of me. - Oh God. I was gonna ask you about Robin Wright show, but you go ahead. - Oh, Rob, about House of Cards? - Yeah, what do you think of the final season? - Terrible. - Okay, there it is. - Terrible.

- Yeah, that was terrible. - They, they. - It was so good. - They're the first two seasons. - This is a phenomenal show. - But you thought Kevin's face either. - Yeah, I mean. - Why, Kevin, why? - I know, right? - It's so good. - It's so good. - It's so good. - It's so good. - It's so good. - It's so good. - And it changed all around because of him. - Yeah, really? - And like it's like, oh, but I think they could have did a lot better in like really turning her into a good story.

- Well, I think, yeah, I think what happened with that was I think with the problem with Kevin, they had to make it not so bad anymore. 'Cause everything he was doing was like almost like a real life thing. - Yeah. - I think they had to make her kind of like, okay, we'll end it this way. But I would love to see her actually be even worse than him. - That's what I'm saying.

And then they made her, she got pregnant, which is so funny, 'cause the whole show, they make such a big deal that she's like child-free by choice. She went through her abortion storyline. And I hate it when like women on shows who go, who are staunchly like, I don't want any kids, get pregnant for a plotline. - Yeah. - But I hate that it's so easy. - Yeah. - And then obviously they had to kill him off camera. They couldn't bring him back. - It was like crazy. - That's what I'm saying.

You guys see a man fall. I mean, full. I think that's what's called a man fall. - Okay, we'll check it out. - It's good. - Okay. - And the ending is amazing. - And it's Netflix. - It's Netflix and it's Jeff Daniels. - Okay, so we're about nine lashes. - In Arubios with Rob and Rates. - Yes, oh sorry. - I know, I know, I know. - I was so sorry. - I was so sorry. - I was saying we were in the whole. I'm there and so I see her. I'm like, wow, she's beautiful.

I was just like, I was like, sir, can I help you? (laughing) - Fish off the place. - Yeah, can I get a window? And she's giggling when she's like, she probably knew she was like, just so she got her food and she went over and sat down by herself in this booth. And I was just like, okay. (laughing) You know what, sir, to go please? (laughing) - I'm gonna get out of here. It's like Oprah, I'm running with the truck.

- Oh, my God. (laughing) And so, that's part, so I'm like, oh my gosh, this will be, so I get home, my son who lived me at the time I was there. I'm like, oh my God, I'm the most almost beautiful girl in the world. It's like amazing. He's like, oh yeah, it's like, oh, okay dad, that's cool and I like that. And then like, actually, well actually at that time, he goes, oh look, - The truck dropped. - You have a trailer drop for House of Cars, a new one, because we watch it.

- Yeah. - So, that's why I just saw. - Oh my God. - That's Robin, right? Yeah, that's Robin Ray. He goes, yeah dad, she like, lives up the street, her, she went to La Jolla at my high school. (laughing) She was at the high school like today. I'm like, what? - Yeah, that's amazing. - Yeah, she was, she was in the art theater department just saying hi to us. Hey, I'm like, oh wow. Dude, you got a meal. - So, God, I've been there. - Yeah, I'm like, dude, you got it. - I've done that.

- Robin Ray. - But that was just a stunning, I think I had a meal. - I can't actually meet her then after that. - No, no, that's what I'm saying. - You don't make that happen. - Robin, is it here? - Yeah, my loose. - A formal introduction, go to Rian. - Robin Ray also down the interview. Densel Washington, Lenny Krabitz. - Yeah, that'd be amazing. - Zoe be good. - Yeah. - Obamalist would be great. - Oh my God. - You know, I want to knit with Michelle Obama. I'm a knitter. - Oh, really?

- Yes, I knit. And I would, - So you get to like study the mind or have like a thing to do? Or you just do make creations? - I make hats. - Oh. - Meenie's, okay. - I want a bra, are you original? - Do you? - Yeah, absolutely. - All right, it's that season. - That's the rest of it. - That's the next season. - That season. - That season. - Okay. - Those mean, you know, summer Phoenix months need a knitter. - And you know what, the knits is in Zendaya. It's in Zendaya. - Oh my God. - She killed it.

- She killed it. - She killed it. - Yeah. - But she always does my God. - I texted Olivia last night. Just like, can we please talk about the bad guy? - Yeah, I mean, while I'm at like a trade show for accountants, and I'm just like looking at my phone, like, yes. - What? - Oh my God, why would she wear that? That's so ugly. - Yes, let's talk about saving money on taxes. - Yeah, so it's stupid. - All right, let's back up to a trade show for accountants. - Oh yeah. - She was a day job.

I have a day job. - What kind of trade show is there for accountants? - Yeah, so it was like, it was like all of the softwares you could buy, like, and really anything that would touch the accounting industry, I referred tax advisory software company. - Okay, so that's even better, where you actually spend money that you weren't like, you're accountant, aren't you supposed to save people money? - Yeah, no, so you guess it's crazy. - Yeah, that's why I have a job, so I like it.

- Okay, you get to try the Vegas. - Yeah, I get to go to Vegas, but yeah, no, I think. - But there's conventions, there's accountant conventions. I think she's been talking numbers and stuff as a way to do it. - Yeah, well, yeah, some of it's like education, but a lot of it's like, it was very like finance, bro, like, shmuz, - Finance, it's spend a bunch of money. - You spend a bunch of money. - That's actually cool to be a accountant. - No, I'm not. - She's not a accountant.

(laughter) - Or it's not just to him, so he's like 50. - Why was we saying 50? - He's like 50 and married, and then he's sitting next to like his coworker, he's like 30 or whatever. And this man thought we were gonna be soulmates, and was like trying. - 50 year old dude? - Yes, he was like trying to get us together. He was like, you're coming over here to this party with free food, though. - Oh, the 30 year old guy and the whole thing. - Yeah, he's trying to get me with this guy.

- Oh, I thought it was a 50 year old guy who was trying to make you the soulmate. - She might be more into that. (laughter) - Yeah, okay, so he was trying to get the 30 year old, you two did it, yeah, so I'm like, oh. - He made it his life's mission. - Oh man. - He was really going into it. - Was it you? - It wasn't my type. - Oh, right. - So he wasn't you. - I would say he's conventionally attractive to most people. - So you're saying it's a couple of drinks?

- He's like a little new to other people. - You're talking about these drinks attractive. - I do, no. - You're talking, you know what? He was last call. (laughter) - Yeah, like, you know. - Last call, we had to have. - If I'm really squinting. - Yeah. - I'm talking, I'm talking about other. - Yeah, actually I saw his bank account. - Yeah, it'd be as cute. - Yeah, maybe he was like, okay, well. - Yeah, I know that he did throw that in there. He's like, look, I'm a boss, you make a lot of money.

(laughter) - How much is a lot of money? - I didn't go that far. - Exactly, you should have asked. - I wasn't gonna go down into the dollars in the sense. - What? - I wasn't willing to come to the table. - I was in the pharmacy, I was in the pharmacy. - I was in the pharmacy. - I was in the pharmacy. - That was last time. - I guess. - I got it. - We're in this hospital, you know, bring out the, bring out the weather soon. - Yeah. - What's going on? - Just kidding, the emergency case.

(laughing) - You're not paying that guy with Andy Dick. - No, yeah, it's gonna hurt. - It would be fine, it would be fine. - I feel like it makes a name.

- And real one could have won so much for you. - I had a blast in Santa Monica with Andy Dick. - Okay. - After a little comedy thing we did. - Oh no. - And he's like, let's go get some pizza. And I just met him, I was like, okay, let's go. And we're going down the Santa Monica boardwalk like in the area and stuff. And he's just like, hey, what's happening?

His show is go. - Our test list, we think-- - I'm checking the test list today and I'm like, I'm checking my test list today. I'm gonna go, um, our test list is VP. Our test list. (laughing) - I just do that all the time.

- Our guy in San Diego, (laughing) - I did have a friend who wanted to date a guy with a boat just so we could all go on a boat together. - I didn't have a happen. And I would have loved that. - Why not? Why they? - She just couldn't find a nice-- - A decent guy with a decent boat. I don't know. - Maybe a boat bad guy. (laughing) - Great guy shouldn't have a bad guy. - I was like, you know what I'm saying? - You don't know boat.

- Like, you know boat are all-- - We're all the great men with great boat. - They just got a paddle board. - They're the best paddle board ever. - They're the best paddle board ever. - I like that. - It's like a short break. (dramatic music) - And we're back on the "How Cold You're Junkie" podcast with Brad Perry. (laughing) - That was good, that was like a good idea. - That was nice. - Did you ever have a-- - I am B.D. Carter for the audible audio both of you.

- I was just about to mention that. - Did you draw a notebook? - I did a meditation app. - Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. - She's good for that. - I was killing it. - You can go with the limping level. - Yeah, let me see. - You're driving down a mountainous path. (laughing) - The water creaks, trickling besides you. You pull over. There's a hitchhiker. You pick them up. - And the truck's there somehow. (laughing) - There was a hitchhiker. It was something about driving down a mountainous path.

Oh, there's a small cabin with a crackling fireplace. You take off your shoes, settle in with a nice book for the evening. - Right, are you relaxed? - Are you relaxed? - I'm not real. - I'm so relaxed right now. - I'm so relaxed. - So we rad, eh? - Thank God there's no blackboard app. You're too much of a serum. (laughing) - Don't need a right answer on the board. Can't get up there, teacher. - That'll be relaxed. - Yes, that's more than relaxed. - Relaxation.

- And if you like that, you should listen to our 50 Shades of Shrek episode where we're gonna read Gordon Ramsay's Shrek Fanfiction. - Wow. - You gotta fan-fick it up, then I. - I read, uh, SpongeBob Gordon Ramsay. - I wanna give it to you, man. - I'm very, yeah, it was amazing. - Oh my god, it might be the wrong. She is episode we've ever had. - Yeah, we heard that. - We heard it, we heard it. - The picture on it is much more graphic. They, they named his, his, male juice. Lam, lam, lam, lam.

- Lam butter or something, lam sauce. - Yeah, lam sauce. - Something absolutely related 'cause it was going to be a long, long, long, long, long. - Wow. - Yeah, it's very fun. It's endlessly entertaining. - It's wild, it is like very, very poor writing. So you gotta go into it, no, fan fiction. - Yeah. - Where's his, who writes his story? - Okay, so fan fiction. - Mentioned teenage girls. (laughing) - We have a read-over-read it, right? - We know, we just read it. - We have a read-over-read it.

- So you found it, the found the book. - Yes, yeah. - Okay, so it's like a walk-out. - I was gonna ask if you think there's Brad Perry fan-fick out there. - Ooh. - A brand-pair. - Brad Perry fan-fiction. - Ooh, I wonder. - Let's see. - I think there is. How do you find out? - I don't think there is. - He's like, she's doing it right now. - Oh my gosh, if there is, I will totally do the audiobook for that. (laughing) - We'll say there is. - Oh my God. - Do they make, do someone just make it up?

Is it AI or what is it? - It's like this website called, - Is your middle name Steven? - No, but it will be. (laughing) - I don't think there's much support. - But another guy named Brad Perry. - Brad Lee Steven Perry, a fan-fick. So let's see, it's on Wattpad. - What is Wattpad? - So it's all these different websites where people can write. - Yeah. - So let's say. - What's it say? - Oh good. - That's Brad Lee Steven Perry. I think you're the morning until one for sure. - Yeah, we don't have it.

So this guy writes it? - No, that's what it's about, I think. (laughing) - Start with an audition. (laughing) - Start with those, call me sometime, Brad is you. - So honestly, it can be the most random thing in the entire world. Like we were looking up, we just looked up Gordon Ramsay fan-fick and then we somehow stumbled into Shrek and Gordon Ramsay. So it can be anything. - Anything that I like Star Wars fan-fiction, so some of the movies didn't end the way I liked.

- Yeah. - So people write their own endings or their own sexy scenes. - Yeah. - So it's not actually by the creators, but let's say, oh, I thought that was pretty terrible and the guy can do better than that fan-fiction. - It's not what it is. - It's like huge. It became really, really popular in the mid to 2010. - Like Tumblr and stuff with my Dottin Victory. - I'm doing to become an underwear malloc who can become a fan-fiction fan. - Yes, yeah.

- Or somebody just watches you a lot on Arizona Daily Mix. - Yes. - You know, like, ooh, Brad Perry, I'm gonna write a steam scene about that guy. And then they can upload it to the internet and then anyone can read it. - And I'm not on there yet. - No, I didn't see you. - Oh, I'm not on there yet. - Everybody's listening. - Brad Perry, he's fan-fiction. - How about that? You write one. - Yeah, and then what do you write? - No, let's just do this. - No pressure. - How about this?

Either way, right here, as we all know, we'll collaborate. - We'll collaborate. - All right. I'll read it. - Okay, okay. - Now we'll read the same job. - Do you want it to be PG-13? - Hey, we've seen the team. - We've seen the team. - We've seen the team. - We've seen the world take us where we've got us through there. - You take the team where to go. - That's true. - We'll creatively inspire. We feel creatively inspired. - We'll do it well, Brad. - And I guess I'm here, and you know what I do?

'Cause I love doing to people. It's the best, and everyone needs to do this. I'm serious, I'm not doing this. I'll do it with my secret. It's a shock factor. It's the best thing in the world. So when I'm out and people know me, and other people don't know me, maybe they're visiting from out of town or whatever, even when I'm out of state, people see me. And they're like, oh my God, like, oh, hey, how are you? I'm like that. I'm like, oh great, can I get you out of there? Perfect.

- I'm a sculler, and then people are like, so what do you do? - Mm-hmm. - And I'm like, oh, I do adult films. (laughing) - You don't understand how amazing that is to people. Yeah, right, 'cause you have some people that go, okay, let's start thinking, okay, let me think if I watch this person, where you have other people go, so how'd you get into it? And like, yeah, and it's, but it's crazy. - I would love to have an adult film star in the podcast and interview them.

- Yeah. - Just to kind of like just see, how did you get into it? Like, what are the perks? Do you like it? - And again, a lot of them live here. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You wouldn't, I mean, that's, it's, like I said, then walk around and see them, like, it's Valley. - Yeah, or Glendale Gilbert. - Yeah. - So, if you're a Glendale porn star, please reach out to us. You would love it. - A Glendale or Gilbert? - Glendale was my home, technically. - Yeah, they're there.

- Yeah. - You know, there was a big like spike in porn being made here in Phoenix where literally they had like shut it down. - Oh, I see. - So they were actually renting out houses in Gilbert in Chandler. - In Chandler. - And it was like webcam, like houses, yeah. - Yeah. - And so, but this is back in the day when they were making, 'cause California had put a restriction on the porn. - Like, and just trying to get your ability to film, yeah.

- Well, no, like for wearing condoms and different stuff like that. So they all came here to make the movies. - Oh, that makes sense. - Yeah. - So there's Arizona. - I have a, literally he was a two-time Oscar sound guy. And I had met way back. And when they had the strike, the first big strike with the industry, he was being a boom, he was a boom operator for porn. - Oh my God. - Yeah. - Did he like it? - He's like, I'm making more money doing, just holding up a whole thing.

- Just holding up a whole thing. - I'm a two-time Oscar winner, sound person. - Yeah. - And I'm holding a boom. - Yeah. - And I'm making more money. - Yeah. - That's good for him. - I know. - Absolutely. - I'm like holy cow, but yeah. - I got the wrong business. - I mean, I've met them. I've never interviewed them. That might be, that would be, - That would be a lot of work. - That would be a lot of work. - We should try to do that. - How did this podcast go for? - I don't know.

I'm an airbent Olivia Goddard. - This is the spot I ever under the dark side. - I know, well, I think it started out with us with the leather. - Yeah, the leather started with the plastic pouch, but then we had the leather. - I wouldn't have brought get fire while I was on the plot. - I produced a shopping shirt. - I put a shirt on the couch, and it solves that every day. (laughing) - I'm sure you like this size.

(laughing) - When we read the Shrek fanfic, you know, that's what they really, - They're gonna get what I've done. - So yeah. - They're wondering how to be cleansed this room. - Yeah, I'm gonna do this. - Oh my god. - Oh my god. - All right, Brad. - What else can you tease us? What else do you have in the works besides the documentary? I mean, that's incredible. So you just had that, that's amazing. - But, you know what? Gosh. Hopefully, and maybe I don't jinx it, but producing my son's movie.

- Oh, you said that, that's a movie. - Yeah, my son just, well, we did. We, Marlon Wands, produced his short. It's a horror short. - Oh, amazing. - It's got Dundu and Chicago Horror Festival. Waiting for a couple more to come. But I think that's the other thing I'm starting to produce is my kids projects. - That's fun. - And so, I love horror movies. - The name's Tanner, Tanner Perry. - Tanner Perry. - Yeah, and so if you actually, if you want to, he's brand-in on Instagram for pair of thieves.

So if you want a little plug there. - Oh yeah, we love a good plug. - Yeah, there you go. - But no, so he has a film and we've been talking with Paramount and stuff and so I'll probably go off and produce that. - Oh, it's a pleasure. - So that's awesome. - That's the other thing too, but not much. I was kind of like, you know, training for the Underwater Muppets. I think I was at a part of my life now where I'm just like, even kill. I go camping, I love camping. - Oh, I love it.

- I love grabbing RV. - Arizona. - Yeah, RV, go up north. I love it and just sit out there. I feel like I'm gone. When I go for a weekend, I feel like I'm gone for a week. - Okay. - And then when I go for a week, I feel like I'm gone for a month. - Yeah, I look really like unplugged like that. - Yeah. - Or just like, I don't really have any signal. No one can reach me. - That sounds amazing. I find myself mindlessly scrolling way too much.

- Yeah. - Especially 'cause I can't leave the house right now because of my foot like I can't drive anymore. - Oh, okay, I was like, let's say because you're in your house or else, but I'm just saying that. - Yeah, yeah. - Right, that's a twinkle of it. - We don't wanna talk about that. - We don't wanna talk about that. - We don't wanna talk about that. - We don't wanna come here. 'Cause you know what it was? - I had an ankle monitor under this and I just was so embarrassed.

I just pretended like I had a broken foot. - Or you had to put that on to block the signal. - And that's how I can get to podcast. - To podcast. - Or you just go full Lindsay Lohan and get that little like coach, like ankle thing that I get she got. - If I was on house arrest, I would absolutely accessorize. - Yeah, that's what she did. She had like a headless, she got like a little coach like leather pouch for it. - I love that picture change for her.

- She was on the bikini with like a lot of her. - Yeah, that's what she was saying. - Is it really bad to be at home? (laughing) - No, I like it, but she. - I just, I go stir crazy. - Yeah. - She wants to do something always. - I do and I like being at home. But if it's my choice that I like it, if I'm forced to be at home, then I'm like, if you can't hold me down. (laughing) - That's what she's wearing. - I want me. - Yeah, that's just first to be at home.

That's just very, and I'm like, I'm forced to be here. - I'm forced to be at home. - First to be in this home. - And first to be in this home now. I gotta go. - Time in Andrew. - Ah, Andrew. - The man holding me down. - Hold on, hold on, I got $30 coming out. (laughing) - 30 dollars, I'm talking to Noob. - I have this whole fun, just wait for me. - How much? - I mean, I don't, just ballpark it. - How much have I gotten from just random symptoms? - Yeah, how much you, I mean-- - I mean, not long.

- Sym, what's that mean? - Like when you're symphur girl, it's like, okay. - You gotta hit it. - He is, he is, he is, he's men who have no chance of ever sleeping with you. - So what's a symph, is that what? - It's, I don't know what it stands for. It's just like, you're a woman. You're a woman, you're a woman money. - Sym, symph, symph, symph, symph, symph. - If you see a girl on the internet and you're like, damn, she's fine, I'm gonna send her money. And she just goes, - Stem.

- But she's never gonna sleep with you, you're a symph. - It's a term to describe a behavior of person engaging in excessive flattery on the internet. - Mm-hmm. - Someone who shows excessive sympathy and attention towards another person. - Sympathically. - Typically, someone who they don't know. - Yep. - And it's a behavior. - So me liking someone on Instagram, they don't know really, that's not something.

- That's not something, that's just like, if I, - Yeah, we die, die, die, meing them every day, like, oh my God, you're so beautiful. No one's as beautiful as you, can I send you money? She's like, sure. - Okay, but I'm okay if I say, if I text, I'm like, hey, morning to you, oh hey, go slay the day. - No, that's amazing. - That's okay, that's cool. - But if I'm like, oh my God, slay the day and you go $30. - Yeah, and if she's not responding, and you still, (laughing)

- I'm saying money. - You're still sending money. - You're still complimenting her, sending her money, and she's not responding, or she just goes, thanks Brad. Thanks Brad. - Where are the, where are the, - Where are the tellers? - Where are the listeners, all our secrets? - Now they're gonna be like, dammit. (laughing) - Dude, I'll send them money at home. - Now you're gonna have to add an extra actual machin point. - I know, my God, thanks. You're not like my other sis.

(laughing) - You're my favorite. - You're my favorite, - There's mostly men who are simps, or are there any women that are simps? Is it mostly? - It's mostly men. - Men. - Yeah. - I think it's a more male thing. - Yeah, I think it's a male behavior. - Yeah. - Yeah, I think it's a lot with like, - I think it's a male simple. - People who, it's a lot on Twitch streamers.

So like, a lot of females who Twitch stream, they'll have male followers who are simps, and all they have to do is get on camera and like, hi, and then they'll be, oh my God, thanks for the $100. - And they don't do anything. - Yeah. - And I love that for them. - What is this, what's this world coming to? - I don't know, I think parasocial relationships are so interesting in the niche, parasocial relationships, which is what they call, like, kind of like people who think they know you. - Right.

- And so that, like, - Because they see a lot of TV - Yeah, I have a parasocial relationship with you. - Trust me, question. - And yeah. - It's like, oh, I know everything about you. And it's like, no, you really know, - How's your vacation about you? - You know, I have no idea who you are. - Well, it's like you also know, like, like a lot of the time, it's like, well, you know me is like the character, the persona, or the pop star, or whatever it is. And so people get really locked into that.

I think COVID really turned that up a notch. - Hi, great. - Also TikTok and the way that things happen and how micro influencers are so popular. - And how accessible everybody is. - Yes, like people blog themselves brushing their teeth and all that. - Right, and then you get upset. Like, well, you just showed yourself off. Why are you mad at someone's coming up to you? And they know you, you can't, you can't have both ways. - Yes. - And if the other part of it, right?

It's like, if you're blogging every single detail of your life, like, this is what I eat in the day. This is my daily routine and some of them accept you and it's like, oh my God, I love cottage cheese too. You can't be like, how'd you know I like cottage cheese? Oh my God, stalker. - Very, right. - Yeah. - Because you've been posting it all. - Yeah. - I was here, because this is where you tell me you'll eat every day at three o'clock. - Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I think it's like, so yeah, I think it's a fine line that they can really follow. But people get really sucked into it. Like if you're lonely, you're, you're just gonna see that lovely person, right? And you kind of start to see these people on Twitch as like your friends or people think that pod pastors are their pals. - We are their pals. - And what you know is that. - That's why this podcast is a lot of people. - You can follow it on. - We're gonna jump these hours.

- We're gonna jump these hours. - A lot of people, and that's what they come here for. - Yeah. - Because the pals show, we sit there, we talk, and we, we're the voice for you. - Yeah. - Because you get to go and talk now about what. - Yeah. - That's what I'm saying. - It's interesting. And like, I think as long as you're like grounded in reality, like I would, I love when people like, reach out to me and they're like, oh, I listen to this. I watch this. Like, that's fun. - That's amazing.

- That's fun. That's a discussion that's community. But when it starts to kind of go overboard, it's like, when you do expect that back and forth and that demand on attention. - Yeah. - I think it's nuanced, but. - I appreciate you guys letting me stop by. - Yes. - Absolutely. - We'll have a nice episode. - A nice episode. - I wanna come back again. - Yeah, absolutely. - Okay, well, we'll write your fanfiction first. - If you write fanfiction, I'll come back and read it.

- Next time, fanfiction, and we expect an update on the underwear situation. - Yes. - Maybe a showing. - I don't know. - I think it's free of you. - Why? - 30 hours. - Why did it get there? (laughing) - Simp me. Simp me. - Oh, I got it. - If you want to simp you want to simp me. - If you want to simp me, I'm like open to it. I got it, you know? - I got it. - Where can they simp you? - Yeah, people wanna simp you on the internet. Where can they find you?

- So they can find me on Instagram @BradPerryTV - And one more time, your son's movie coming out? - The movie that's going around, it's called Skin. And the other one is, hopefully, Robbed, so we'll see.
