you go to forty one pounds. And it's like they're like it was like flying first class, right like Delta, because seriously, yeah, it's bad out here, but like that's the thing that's changed is that there's like a airline that flies to the city. We're trying to go to Lake Front like Pittsburgh, which is not it's not like a tiny city. Teams say they got a sports team. Listen, if you got a baseball and a football team, you're a major city. Yeah, and a hockey team and they

But yeah, Spirit was our only option, which Spirit also has the same color as their sports team, so maybe that's the yellows Black Yeah, yellow and black listening black black and Yellows always stick together and yellow ball Well, Jaquis. We're thrilled to be joined by a very funny stand up comedian and artists who was recently named one of

who ha Has Comedians of twenty twenty two. She hosts and produces the long standing monthly stand up show at the Hollywood Improv Salty Aoff. I'm old and my brain doesn't work. It was a red eye, you got it. It's Holly bro Hey, Hi, salty AF. I know it's as salty as fuck over here. Yeah, I forge I forget even what I do salty. I still read it as salty F all the time. I'll just be talent comics like, yeah, would you like to do on my show? Salty F? And they're like waiting for me to finish

the sentence, and I never do. So, you know, I don't I don't know when it became the case when like I got old. I you know, I don't know how old you. I mean, I know how old you are, Jack, but I don't know how old you are Holly. But I will say that I routinely have to look up online all these goddamn acronyms. Yeah, but these kids are coming up with I don't get it. I'm only thirty six. And I was like, man, is this how we made our parents feel old? Quick Ship so lame? Ours were

so lame. I feel like we had phone not we had what was it, foma? We had these other Now there's one that I don't understand still, How to use it? Bet? How do you use bet? I don't know that. Okay, okay, I can get I can bet. Bet is not a new thing. Bet is I've been saying bet since I was like six. It's a it's a black community thing, you know. So bet just basically means like I'm giving the keys out. If Lacey was here, she would have it stop, but she was like, stopped giving the keys out,

jack keys. But bet basically it's just like all right, cool, cool cool, cool, all right word all right, dope. It's just basically like a. It's an affirmation of indeed, yes, it is what I say. Yes, you would say bedade exactly, That's exactly what it is. We was like, that's too many letters. Let's just put it down to one quick word. Yeah, oh, but I think it sounds so cool. Indeed, indeed, I mean honestly, we I might take that, I might take that, and that may become and may become the new what

do they call it? Aa ve? Yeah, that's what that's what. That's what the white folks call it. Somebody needs to tell my my neighbor Duncan to stop saying bet. If you could guess, he is very white's very white, he's very white. I mean, listen, you know, I don't see too many white people saying bet. I see more white people asking what the fuck does bet mean? What? Listen?

You know. But but for those who know, and now you know, Holly, now you know, thank you, the appreciation has grown because now absolutely I'm so excited to overhear it in conversation and not say it back. But I'm gonna go, indeed, ye say yes, yes Bet, Indeed, my good sir Duncan, Holly, We're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. The Republicans are like just now openly in favor of

child labor. So we're gonna talk about that like they're just passing passing laws to make it easier. Like there's been some good reporting from the New York Times. We got we gotta shout it out when it in the rare instance that it happens about all the child labor that happens in like these massive corporations, you know, factories just loaded down with child labor. And the Republican's response has been like, yeah, we need to actually deregulate that

so to make it easier. So we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna do a little seapack recap because Donald Trump claimed that he could solve the Ukraine Russia war in just one day, and then Michael Knowles from The Daily Wire flat out stated that, in his words, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely, which is cause calling for genocide. And with the name like Michael Moles, you know he got picked on as a kid. That's why

he's an asshole. Now yeah, oh Miles, okay, all right, all right, then no, he's just an asshole because he's an yeah, Sam, last thing, so he it's really things could have gone so much better. It was just constantly hanging over his head how much he had failed, you know, because of uh, Creed three made all the money at the box office. It's the highest grossing opening weekend for a sports movie ever, highest grossing opening weekend for any

of the Rocky film. I mean, I guess that's implied by the first thing I said, But still, it's pretty cool and I didn't see it, but I'm excited to see it, and it just seems like a good sign

for movie theaters in general. I feel like we're seeing the reverse of what we saw with all the studios and you know, coming to the streaming thing, like being like, well, the pandemic has started, so it will be here forever, and just like spending all their money on streaming content, Like we're seeing the inverse of that, where they're like now too slow to bet get the movies ramped up again. Maybe I don't know, but it seems like there's a bunch of big movies coming out of March, so maybe

we'll come to the end of that. All of that plenty more. But first, Holly, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Oh my god, I'm gonna be painfully honest right now. Okay, there's one thing, and one thing only in my search history all weekend. This is a shame for myself that I'm admitting this, But it is all vander Pump Rules related. How do we know about? What do we know about this epic drama that has unfolded over the weekend? By any chance

in the vander Oh my god, I can. I can give you the quickest rundown of all time. All right, so that's what our show is about. Actually, let's let's just do that. Vanderpump Rules. Let's go. Vanderpump Rules is the greatest reality television show ever created. I don't watch other reality shows. I have no basis for this whatsoever. I don't know if I've ever seen a Real Housewives.

But this show is a bunch of monstrous single was started monstrous single people that live in West Hollywood working at a restaurant, acting like absolute dipshits because they all had no money and they would spend it all. But now they all have money and it's so much worse. But this is this is the rundown? Is this one guy Tom Santoval cheated on his girlfriend of nine years with Raquel. I'm just gonna start. I'm just gonna throw the names out there with Raquel. These are all characters

on the show. Unless yes, Raquel has been making out with Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval's business partner and best friend who just got divorced from his wife Katie of twelve years, right after Riquel called off her engagement to James, who used to date Kristen, who used to date Tom. It's great good they all dating each other. It's like high school theater. Yeah, they're really given up. Like whatever we thought Tristan Thompson drama was with Chloe Kardashian. I'm telling

you this is this is ten trillion times worse. It's incredible. I'm in a choked I can't stop beginning. Okay, I love this. I love this. I also love that, you know, like vander Pump Rules is a great name. Like I've been to What's the Bar and we hold that is from somebody from that show, Sir, sir. Yeah, there's there's so many now, yeah, they're so but that was the original one, right, that's the that's like the o G. I've been there. I just love the name. I've never

watched it. I only watched The Challenge and The Bachelor, and then I had a reality show podcast where I had to pretend like I actually watched reality shows. So spoiler alert, I lied. Uh, but they paid me so. But I just really just love that name. It has like the best name I think out of any of the rules. It's kind of giving odyle rules a little Yeah, okay, so you say. And the drama is there, it's so great.

My question is, like, are they all sleeping with one another because they know that they're all characters on the show, and like they want, like the way that a royal family will intermarry within the family, because they want to consolidate power and like keep all the money for it,

keep all the power for themselves. Like is there is something because that that web of social and sexual connections between the characters like is reminds me of like the Habsburg family tree, you know, like it's just so interwoven, and yeah, I wonder if there's some incentive there. I feel like that was a very generous comparison. Yeah, well, if you know, Yeah, I mean it didn't end up so well for the Habsburgs, but I'm sure they think

they're the royal family. I mean they are I would say, unfortunately the royal family of Bravo right now, you know, so they I think there's something to that. These particular people in question, I don't know how samns words. They are absolute losers. So I just think people people in public probably won't sleep with them. I don't know why. I just assume blanket statement. You see this man's face, he looks like a generic Harry Styles want to be in the worst way. And because there's a good way

to look like a generic Harry Styles want to be. Yeah, I think that's a base model Harry Styles. That's good. But no, this guy looks like he wants to be Harry Styles so bad and he sees a flare pants and he just buys it like that's there's no questions asked. But it's I mean, my favorite part about the whole thing. And I listen, I know you guys don't know this drama.

I'm so excited to talk about it, But this whole thing, the best part is that he dressed up as his mistress for Halloween in front of his current girlfriend and they all hung out together. How crazy is it? Drama? How crazy is that drama that is like yeah, and then yeah, it's it's such a bess. I am, I'm under a spell. It's I opened my phone. I try to look at other things, and I literally can't. You can't. Yeah, you can't. I can't. You can't looked as you are.

I I really am. What's What's something you think is overrated? Holly oh Man, only because I keep getting this for some reason. It's been an epidemic in the past few weeks. I think telling people they look like a celebrity is overrated. Stop telling them that. Don't tell it never fares well. I think any anytime you go up to somebody, even if you think it's a compliment, somehow, it's not a compliment when you tell celebrity. It never is unless you tell me I'll look like Atri's Elba or some shit.

I don't want to hear, right, But they'll always they'll always find a way. They'll be like, you look like Idris Elba flew on a red eye like they'll always add a little thing on the end of it. I swear, yeah, right, or man, you you know you look like oh Iatri's elbow from that one scene and thought, oh Man, that's how you look. Who do you? Who do you? Who do you get? Holly, who do you get? Oh? My god? The greatest hits of most recent I got. Oh, I

got Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter. If you're familiar recently, she's a character. But yeah, she's a dead berber Well her name is Moaning Merle. So yeahs bathroom right, yeahs haunts the boys bathroom exclusively. She's she's a real treat. Yeah, I got I Carly, if I were if she was into drugs, I got that. I mean, that's cool. Listen. Somebody thought it was a compliment. I meant, you know, yeah, maybe maybe they want Miranda cosgirls in the East. He's

doing crack cocaine. I don't know. I got last night, I Scott, last night I got. Somebody told me. I was like, I had my hair in a ponytail and glasses on, and they said I looked like a girl from a cell phone commercial. And then when I asked to follow up of like, oh, which one like, hoping to have a better compliment than what I thought it was, she goes, oh, just any oh you look like you do? You look like a commercial girl? Yeah? You look like the avatar that they build on top of that's what

I look. So you look like Holly Brown. You look like anyone ever told you you look like Holly Brown. This is one of the rules of modern etiquette that we've like the New York magazine did this like four hundred rule list of like this is how you should text, this is what you should do when splitting a bill. This is and like a lot of it is way off base, but I the way that you are addicted

to vander Pump rules. I am addicted to this magazine article to the point that I bought the like paper magazine. And one of the rules of etiquette that I do feel like we've all agreed is just good like it should be cannon for everyone, is like don't tell people who you think they look like. It's just it never goes well. No. I I have an eye condition, so when my left eye doesn't work properly, I don't know how else to say it other than my left eye

is broken. But sometimes I have this, and then I always get compared to celebrities that are cross eyed, and I'm like, why would people? Why is that coming out of your mouth? It never makes sense. But at least they're quasi hot, even if they're in to drugs, right, yeah, yeah, bonus, they're like, you look like a Lumbo if he was into drugs. Is he the one Peter Falk who had like a wandering eye? Oh god, I don't know, but someone will probably tell me tomorrow, so I'll let you

know the old old person reference. Who are some crossed celebrities? Actually maybe I only know one, and I got really upisode about it, so I made it seem like there's a hundred, but there's just a Sutton Foster is like a Broadway actress. She's incredible, and she's got a wonky eye, and everyone tells me I look like Sutting Fosters. Okay. The only one I know of is for As Whittaker. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah the walk. I have the eye, so I'm allowed to call it wonking day

in and day out. It's I look stupid and I know it. Okay, No, not at all, not at all. I told you you look like Holly Brown. You look like, oh I love her, Holly Brown looks stupid, that's right. I also have a slightly crossed eye, so my my, my eye also there's one of my eyes is like the it doesn't open as wide as the other eye. Yeah, we all have we all have a fucked up eyeball. What what something you think is underrated? Ooh um, chain restaurants.

I think chain restaurants are highly underrated. I think everyone will die for one and it'll always be one that someone else would respond with it. You know. But I I've had, I've had some of the best meal like CPK is Mine California and Pizza Kitchen. That's my absolute number one. I would eat at every meal. If I was don death Row, they'd say what would you like to eat? I'd say, tostauta pizza please immediately. Yeah. I think everyone has one, and I like finding out which

ones they are. Yeah. Yeah, oh oh oh, I got a lot. Let me let me tell you something about chain restaurants. They chained for a reason. You know. You know what you're getting the formula. The formula is created to appeal to the masses. You know. Uh. So I'm a fan of a feud. Listen like comedian feud. Uh we give out olive garden gift cars because I love

me some olive garden. The breadsticks on point don't you know the opening act of an Olive Garden with the breadsticks and is yeah, and then also you can get uh, you can get a bottle of wine at Olive Garden for like twenty dollars, which is how much it costs in the store. So you know all the places you get a glass of wine for Like, you get a bottle of wine for twenty bucks. Also, give me some hot pancakes every day of the Yeah, oh, love me

some eye hop love's. Probably so many people listening right now, they're like, I hop and then they're gonna go against you and say Denny's. My brother has eaten every menu item from Denny's. I just realized he told me, really he said, he said, pass on the STA. Yeah. Now we are, we are a chain restaurant friendly podcasts Hell yeah yeah. Especially California Pizza Kitchen. We had just like a run for a long time agot R HCPK. Like, I don't know why Red Hot Chili Peppers needed to

get into the California Pizza Kitchen business. I mean California. It's so good that they like sell their pieces across the country. Frozen PiZZ that's how you know the piece it's good. It's good. Shit, it's good. It's like when you go to In and Out. You know what you're getting every time. Some people like to argue in and Out it's not as good and it's overhyped. But the best thing about In and Out is consistency. Baby. You get to go get the same thing every time. It's

never tasting different. You can't have another place. Can't be beat. The price truly can't be beat. If if In and Out sold bottles of wine, they would be Yeah, man, I thought Olive Garden was so fancy when I was a kid, though. Yeah, that was our night out when we went out to dinner, you know. Yeah, that was

a very special occasion. We got to go to Olive Garden and they give you those little Andy's mints at the at the end of the meal, you know, popping things in your mouth so your breath no smell like cheese and wheat. It's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. Uh. Those are so much better than the other one, Like the just white chalky mints that some restaurants give out. That that would always such a bummer when we would

hit that. Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and then we'll be back to talk about some news. And we're back and it's time to check in with the Republicans. They were up to some shit this weekend, past few days, so you know, well, while drag shows in libraries are clearly extremely harmful to children, Republicans believe every young type could use a dose of backbreaking manual labor.

According to I mean, this seems to be the logic behind a bunch of Republican controlled states currently considering weakening child labor laws. So they responded to the reporting that American factories like Tyson Chicken, you know, like big household name brands have you know, are loaded with children working in their factories. And their response was like, yeah, no, absolutely,

and we need to make it easier for that. We need to So they passed something literally called the Youth Hiring Act of twenty twenty three, which would weaken the state's oversight of child labor laws by eliminating the need for a permit altogether. This is happening in Ohio, Iowa, Arkansas. Sarah how could by Sanders proclaimed she will sign the bill while also maintaining that protecting kids is most important. Protecting kids is most important. Sound definitely sounds like a

heartfelt statement that was not generated by chat gptwo. But yeah, I mean two Arkansas meatpacking plants just got in trouble for employing one hundred and two children as young as thirteen for overnight shifts and the children's jobs that they are tasked with cleaning up caustic chemicals, sanitizing saws and other processing equipment. And yeah, like I said, six of them were working at a Tyson facility in Greenforest in Arkansas. So it's protecting children is only to them when it's

their children, I would guess. And these looking thing is that these are not their children. Their children aren't going to work in a meat processing plant to sanitize the meat saw that is designed to cut through flesh as quickly as possible and deal with caustic chemicals, right, I know. Can you imagine every time you go to Jersey Mics and you see them cutting that meat, yeah fresh? Can you imagine a child doing that? Yeah? No, No, I wouldn't. I used to. I used to work at a grocery store.

We had to cut meat and cheese, and you know, I was in the eighteen year old range. So I was a teenager at this point. But man, the ship we used to do to that meat and cheese. Man, Like, let me tell like, I couldn't imagine having a kid like in there. We would drop the meat on the floor and still pick it up in a slice the customers Like if somebody pissed us off, Man, this is nasty. I'm sorry, I was listening. This was eighteen years ago.

All right, I'm thirty six, I've grown. But like this also taught me don't fuck with people who are handling your food, because whenever somebody would like be rude to us, we would go drop their fucking food and dishwater and then like we would it was terrible. We did terrible shit. So outside of just like outside of just not wanting your kids to you know, because I mean, like kids having jobs since the thing, although they shouldn't, but you know,

it is a thing. We can't deny that, Like sometimes your kids will sweep up like the barbershop or like shit like that. Right, Like I had a little cop job before I was sixteen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's not like you know, we're saying, like, oh, a kid

can't learn the value of responsibility. And earning money and like all these things, but like outside of just not wanting your kids to deal with shit that alts should be doing, like handling knives and blades, or not having proper labor laws on their sides, like they can't work over fucking night because you're a child. I also don't want a kid handling my damn food. I don't want a child handling anything that I need to, you know, have as an adult that needs tender love and care.

Is kind of wild on both sides to me. Yeah. The fact that it's it's not you know, somebody in a community like working with their family or something to like learn a trade. It's systemic, and they're trying to make it easier to do, like let give less oversight, make it less carefully deployed, I think tells you all you need to know about like what they have in mind for this. Do they want kids to work overnight? So they don't even they don't even have the time

to go to these drag shows. I mean they're just too busy. Yeah. Yeah, And and kind of like a related story, so seapack just wrapped up. It featured such highlights as Donald Trump claiming that he could solve the Ukraine Russia war in just one day. I can do it in just one day. You've seen I loan Trump Maga.

But one of the most repulsive speeches, which I feel like is probably like they give out a palm do or for like most repulsive speech at Seapack, like the you know that's something that you are competing for in the Grand Jury prize at the end of Seapack. But the Daily Wires Michael Knowles who flat out stated that quote transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely. So

transgenderism isn't a thing. It's an offensive term used by anti LGBT activists to try and dehumanize trans people, like it implies that it's an ideology rather than people. And so calling to eradicate transgenderism means literal genocide, like if you're you're calling to eradicate people, So it's yeah again. And the thing that they put all like stake all this on is that they're worried about children, right, like that seems to be the talking point that they like

to go to. And then and something that's like being swallowed by like supposed centrist like Mattie Glacias who like started box is like he's become very toxic. Dude, who got me banned from Twitter? Yes, yeah, exactly what what what did you say? You said that you hope he I hope he stubs his toe and has knee pain every day. Yeah, and that got you banned. Yeah. Yeah, I've said so much worse. I think I've hoped that people's limbs fall off. I mean that's not Yeah, it

was a year ago. Now I'm over it. But it's just always fun to hear his name. Yeah, so he'll be like unequivocal on all other subjects that have to do with human rights, but he's willing to adopt like these right wing talking points on trends rights being human

rights and the like. He's taken in these these talking points where it's like, well, like there's this quote unquote study that the right has, like Manufacturer that's like kids were identifying as attack helicopters and were given gender affirming healthcare, and like they've created this fiction that you know, it's extremely easy to get gender affirming healthcare, which, first of all, it's not easy to get any healthcare in the United States,

and second of all, it's like incredible. The thing that they're talking about as being like out of control is extremely rare and done extremely carefully. But for whatever reason, this Mattie Glaciers and a lot of people who are like these New York Times stalwarts have just like backed down on this particular point. And specifically they always like to imply that it's like children will say one, you know, one silly thing and then suddenly they will be, you know,

given gender affirming healthcare, And that's complete bullshit. And these are lies that people on the right made up, and for some reason they aren't willing to see through the lies on the right when it comes to trans rights, and it's very frustrating, especially because when you get down to the core of it, it's fucking calling for genocide. Yeah, I also would argue that it is more than they're just now willing to see the truth. It is they

are actively perpetrating the lie. You know, they know the truth. They know they don't they know they don't give a shit about kids. They know they know, like, you know, we grew up with teenage mermaids who couldn't talk, who like had to marry princess or princesses who didn't have, you know, altimoty over or you know, the right to marry who they fucking wanted. And you know, a genie had to help you trick a girl into liking you. Like, and I'm not bagging these moves. I fucking love a Laddin,

love all the ship. But like I but like, it's just, you know, this idea that adults who have been children before and who probably have children don't understand that the ship that we consume does not automatically like make us what you fear is it's ludicrous. It's ludicrous. They fucking know, they know, they know, and it's just when it's just it's a control I mean, I'm not saying anything you

all don't know, but it's a control thing. And then you get to use the most innocent of the groups on this planet, the children, as the scapegoat for your own hate, your own like you know, phobias and racism and hate and sexism and trans phobia and everything like that. And it's just it's just funny. It's funny that we sometimes let these people off the hook for not knowing or not wanting to see the truth or blah blah blah.

They know exactly what they're doing. Like we know exactly what we're doing when we do dumb shit or bad shit most of the time, most of the time. So yeah, it's it's a it's always a funny thing. It's always

a funny thing. Like I'm playing The Last of Us too right now, because the Last of Us is on and it gets to a scene where like the main character kisses a girl, and even in the video game, and this isn't set in twenty thirty something like du comes he was like, Hey, there's kids here, and this is like all right, bro, Like you don't give a shit about the kids. That just made you feel some type of way, And it's that's that's what it always is. It's scary as hell. I feel like we're heading towards

the place. I went to a Christian private school for one year and when I was in kindergarten and I would get in trouble every day for trying to wear pants. They wouldn't let me wear pants. It was that, you know, the uniform was so strict that girls had to wear skirts, boys had to wear pants. And I feel like that is what they're trying to make everything, every part of society is going to be a uniform, you know, literally

uniform as in clothing society. That's what they want. How will you know which bathroom to go in if you're not wearing the skirt that the woman on the bathroom sign wars, you know, I mean it gets confusing. So I got confused. I get confused. Like every time I roll up to a bathroom that has the person in a chair, I think I gotta go get a chair to pee. Yeah, and that's fair, you know, I get

so confused. Yeah, it's just dumb, bad faith bullshit that on this particular on trans rights being human rights like that. It just like the the it's really making some inroads when it comes to like the Supposed Center and the the New York Times, you know, who did did good reporting on fucking child labor, But on this they're just asking questions about this thing that is all all all

based on like absolute bullshit. Yeah yeah yeah. And this Michael Knowles guy, I don't know if you've seen him his face, I mean I didn't know one hundred and who he wise. I'd seen his face circulate so many times on TikTok. There was a lot of like feminist TikTok videos that he was trying to debate a feminist and every time it was just him talking over a feminist.

Sure he looks. He just why do they all look like theater kids who were losers in the theater kid community, Like that's what they all it's it's just such revenge that's seeking out, seeping out of their pores with their little smurfs. Because I saw, yeah, it has to be. I'm I'm a theater kid myself. But I was cool as shit. I I hung out with the athletes, I got the girls I was. I was black too, and you know I was only black boy. I got all the white girls, I got all the black I was

cleaning up, and motherfucker's hated me for it. People hating me. They hated me. And it's it's funny, though, Man, that's such a good analogy, because you know, there is speaking on the theater kids and a lot of this kind of coma sides where it's just like you feel like you're old something, and then when somebody comes and you know, ruffles up the status quo that of the thing that you feel like you're old, then you start feeling some

type of way. So in this instance, like with a lot of these people who promote hate, they're feeling like they're old this country and this respect and this like reverence that they have been told their whole fucking lives that you are going you can get and the fact that like now we're getting to a point in our society where it's like, now everybody deserves to be treated equally, and you know, these people don't just need to be hiding anymore, and like and no matter what marginalized group,

it's messing up their status quo. And it's like, well, wait a minute, I'm old all this reference and blah blah blah. So they feel some type of way, and I just say, let them be fucking nerds, and slowly, I'm all for calling them. Like I feel like I'm a nerd. I was a theater kid, I've a Pikachu tattoo. I'm definitely a little nerdy fair on that side of life. But I feel like if I ever were to call somebody a nerd to their face, they would only be

those people like that's who society should only deem as nerds. Now, yeah there, yeah, yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about movies and we're back. And Creed three made all the money, fifty eight point seven million in North America, more than one hundred million globally, the biggest opening ever for the Creed Rocky franchise or a sports movie, which that's crazy. That's surprising some big sports movies. That's surprising to me. Yeah, Ali,

it made more than Ali. Yeah, well I guess. Also, yeah, adjustifore inflation, I guess, but like as when Ali came out, take us we're six dollars. But that is still surprising to me. I mean, Rocky four was, like, I mean, I guess it's different. Like but Rocky four like was the number one movie for like half of the year that it came out. But you know, I guess they just didn't people. They only released like eight movies back then,

so you just knew to catch it the next weekend. Yeah, and now movies on the same theaters for six days or some shit like it'll be created all be on stream and next one I'm sure yeah, um yeah, yeah, but even it even beat D two Mighty Ducks Part two, So wow, I just doing something right. But yeah, I don't know. That. The other story that like kind of emerged was that Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson went

to couples therapy in character for the movie. Tessa Thompson said, I think the moral of Create three is that all people should go to therapy. That's pretty much the moral of Create three. Yeah, people should go to therapy as themselves, but going as someone else seems to work pretty well too. Yeah, that's very funny. I did see kre three, so I'm not you know, I'm not gonna give I'm gonna try my best to not give any spoilers, so no spoilers. However,

I'm gonna just give my opinion on the movie. So if you don't want to hear anything, I will just say that to you right now. I had never seen any of The Creeds before this week. Oh just get that out there. And like, I know, I know like the writers. I know the dude who wrote the first movie, not Ryan Coogler, but his writing partner Aaron Covington. Shout out Aaron, who also was a writer on Grand Crew, which is out now, so please go watch it. But also like I just never got around to watching it.

I don't know why I don't know why. It was a movie I've always wanted to see. But I decided to watch both Creeds this week before I went to go see Creed three because I really wanted to see Creed three, because it looked the trailer looked dope. Jonathan Majors is having himself a year. He looks fantastic in it. I wanted to see the movie. I watched Create one, Creed two fantastic, truly fantastic fucking movies. Create two I was highest ship when I watched it. Got me emotional.

It was a blind movie. It's such a good movie. Create three is a good movie. It's a good movie. It's a good movie. WHOA Okay, Okay, go watch it. Go watch it. I'm telling you, in the grand scheme of movies, it is a good movie. It is worth the watch. It is worth the time to go and enjoy some time at the movie. Theaters left me left. Wasn't my favorite Creed. Wasn't my favorite Creed. I don't know if this is a spoiler or not. I don't think it is. But I thought it was too short.

That's what I'll say. I think the movie is too short. The movie is missing key elements that time would have given the movie that the other two movies had, and and I don't know what that is. And I've noticed this recently, like a lot of movies are starting to

like shorten their run. Not a lot, because there's still some three hour fucking movies, but the movies are starting to shorten their runtime a little bit, and studios are starting to make a conscious effort to all right, maybe you don't need to be in a movie theater for two and a half hours. And I've always said this, if a movie is good, I don't give a fuck how long it is a movie. If a movie is good,

will be there. And I know not everybody's the same, But if the story is compelling, a great movie can make two and a half hours seemed like ninety minutes, right, Yeah, A bad movie can make two and a half hours feel like a whole fucking day. So, like, that's that's my take on that. I thought the movie was too short. I thought the movie was missing some things, but the

movie is still good. Michael be Jordan's great, These niggas look amazing in this movie, John and the Major's is just oh my god, on another planet, right, now they really crush it with marketing wise, they really they really knew they're a dance to some degree, because man, it was a lot of just wet bodies. Well well well well I've never seen a boxing movie before, but it was spicy just for thirty second Taylor trailers. But yeah, the pitch to studio executives was like, we all know

Jonathan Major's exists. What if he was wet? Yeah, start exploding. Yeah, that guy's just like Scrooge mcducking his life, diving into money right now, he's got to have so much money quantumnia this movie back to back. I mean, I want to see I want to see his bank account. Yeah. I also love Craft and yeah he's on the Netflix move. The harder we fall, like he's just been and he's great. That's the good thing. I love. I love when an actor is having their moment. I love when a black

actors having their moment. And I love that when on top of that they are black ass moments. They're all so fucking fantastic, so it's like they deserved this. They're not just having a moment because they're having a moment. They're having a moment because they are fantastic, and it's like Jonathan May just has it. He is on another planet right now as far as acting goes, and he's he's doing a damn thing and I love it. He

really is. I think he's gonna be like he's on his trajectory to be one of the best actors of our generation hands down. He's yeah, he's having his rehershala Ali moment from like two three years ago, right right. But even that felt like Mahershali was like a little tried to tried to keep it like so there wasn't so much Mahershali that like we didn't we we we weren't left wanting more. But Jonathan Major's is just like suddenly everywhere and everyone's like, yes, feed mee lease more.

That's a good point that I don't know. You never hear people say a movie is too short, Like if a movie is a good hang, sometimes it feels too short, and the only complaint is like cranky film critics being like I have to pick up the kids, wrap it up. It's like, I don't know if that represents most film fans, Like yeah, if I'm enjoying myself, I'll hang you know, Oh yeah, on it. It beats going out to bars. Yeah, such a homebody nowadays, and I'm like, it feels like

I'm doing so much more than I am. When I go to a movie that's really long, I'm like, yes, I had a full night of fun. I didn't go out, I went, I came home at midnight, and I feel so accomplished at a film. I love going to I love I'm a theater head. I love going to the movies. I love the experience. As an amazing AMC A list for life, you know, for those of you who don't have AMC's in your town, it's a movie subscription program but basically one month costs the price of one fucking ticket.

It's amazing. You can see like nine movies a month. So I'm in the theaters all the damn time. And when I say this movie was short, it wasn't just it's like I wish that it was longer so I could have been enjoying myself more. I just felt like there were key parts of the run something that they rushed through that especially with me just seeing both creeds like this week, so it's very fresh in my mind how those stories let all their beats breathe in the

way that it needed to. That that's my that's my complaint on Creed three. However, go watch that Ship two Black leads Michael B. Jordan's directorial directorial debut as a beautiful movie shot. Well, a good movie. Felicia were shot, you know, give it up for our mom, Felicia shot. It's a good time, y'all. It's a good time. Yeah. Like, they don't even fit the boxing the fight in at the end, they're just like, you get the first round

and then they're like, YadA, YadA, YadA, you know who wins. Anyways, that means true kind of they focus more on the therapy aspect in that one wasn't really therapy happy. Like That's what my main takeaway from this review from Tessa Thompson is that it's a film, a boxing film about therapy first fighting second. Okay, Yeah, man, I was this this orm. I was sitting at a bar one time in twenty when I think the first Creed came out

in twenty fifteen, right, I was sitting utime yea somewhere. Yeah, I was sitting in a bar and I remember so specifically because the guy next to me was like oh oh, it's just like couldn't, couldn't keep himself together, And the bartender is like, are you okay. He's like, Creed's ruining my life and I'm sitting there so invested, and then he begins to tell the bartender that he used to date Tessa Thompson. I don't think any of this is true, but he says he used to date Tessa Thompson and

that she left him for the movie Creed. I don't. I don't. That doesn't track your your name is you have a you know, a supreme shirt on your name is nick? I don't think so. No, no, same bro. I would have just been like, same bro. Yeah, I think yeah. I think he needs to watch this movie and maybe he'd Tessa Thompson's words go to therapy. Also, I hope it is true. I hope. I hope you did day testa Thompson and she left him to go film Creed. Because what a ludicrous thing to be upset about.

Like yeah, just like, yeah, good call by you, Tamson. Yeah. I just if you if you go to a bar and you're just going oh, and you make noises. I don't trust anything that's coming out of your mouth after that, I think it's all lies. Yeah, mm, like what happened to you today? Everything? Okay? They got they got like big movies coming out every weekend this month, which is the first time I can remember that, Like Scream sixes next week, shazam. Yeah, to the week after john Wick four.

We just need a five and we would have the whole thing. Yeah, we'd have two dungeons and dragons on her amongst thieves. I don't among thieves, rather March thirty first, which I don't know how that one's gonna do. But yeah, I'm very listen, I'm very excited. Why is this dud called me? Oh sorry, I'm very excited for man to get off my chest. Man, you know, if you can get me back in contact with Tessa. She left me to du create three too, man, and she never came back.

She never came back. But now completely forget Oh, I love that. I'm loving you. Look for the past. From like basically two thousand and nine up until two thousand and twenty, the blockbuster lane has been filled almost exclusively with MCU and I'm not knocking at at all. I had a fucking great time last decade watching the book that was the MCO like Unfold on Tell on the

movie screen. So this isn't me complaining about that, but as someone who's an actor, who's an entertainer, who does movie like film and TV and have loved this medium since I was a child, I am loving the reemergence of the original summer blockbuster like when we were kids from like Independence Day was a blockbuster, and like Men in Black basically Will Smith and then He or like even like Liar Liar being a blockbuster movie kind of

like or Jaws. Like I'm loving that last Stars were their own genre of Yeah, there's the Will Smith movie, there was Jim Carrey movie, There's a Bruce Willis movie. Those were their own genres. They were their own genres and and I'm loving I love that Top Gun was fucking like a big movie last year. Like I love that Create Three a big movie right now. Like I love that these non MCU movies are coming back to the theaters and saying we are putting in assets and

seats again. And it's a pretty it's a pretty dope thing that I hope continue. So I'm excited for this this year of movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does feel like we've been like I've had this sense that, like some some movies over the past couple of years have done better than they would have otherwise because there was just nothing else like coming out for four weeks like that. I feel like everybody was scared of Avatars, so they just like didn't release that much after Avatar came out.

But it's it's not like Hollywood to leave money on the table. But I guess I guess, you know, film productions are so you know, they take so long. You have to be green lighting these things so far in advance that I do feel like they've probably recognized that and started ramping up production, but we're just we're just now seeing it. I feel like there used to be a box office battle that you actually didn't know who was gonna win. Back in the day, you're like, oh, shoot,

these two movies. I mean, at half the time, it was two similar movies coming out, and you're like, well, why is this happening? Two movies about bugs? Do we need this many movies about bugs? But it was you never knew which one was gonna win, and it was really exciting to watch. And now you just go knowing, okay, Everyone's gonna see this movie. No one's gonna see this movie, and that sucks. I want more movies like that one, but no one's seeing. Yeah. Yeah, I think they should

release two movies about planet destroying asteroids every weekend. Hell yeah, for in perpetuity. That's my well where the two bug movies? Oh my brain, A Bug's Life? I mean, oh, oh, oh, okay, got it, aunt titular and aunts and ants of course, But I just I just read something because I'm so invested in like those dual movies where they always have the same premise coming out within like a month of each other or something. Yeah, and that one was truly

out of spite. I just found out that Bugs and Ants. It was like a director from Disney went to make Ants and was like, well, they're making a movie about bugs, somebody get me a script, and then they made one. Right. Yeah. It's like also when no Strengths Attached and France with yeah fans came out this is Zach, same fucking movie. Yeah, they exist in my brain as the same movie, like they are the same movie. Yeah, you could swipe them together. I feel like you could. Just a lot of no

strings in those films neither one. Well, Holly, such a pleasure having you on the daily zeitgeist. Where can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff. I'm mostly on Instagram, so I'd actually just primarily go there. I'm at a Holly Brown comedy on Instagram. I post all my shows and you can follow at Salty a f show.

But I

have a bug tweet. It's a bug tweet. I like, you don't have to pretend like this wasn't all part of the sea. I know I'm a calculator late. But I I was a lizard girl growing up. I feel like that's just like you can blanket statement understand what kind of child I was that. I really liked creepy Crawley's very hard. I had a lot of lizards, many of them. And I saw this. I saw this tweet thread of this girl whose dad is an entomologist, and she was like, just listen off sick bug facts and

they were pretty they're they're pretty sick. Yeah, I can give you some. I can give you a bug fack. Yeah, hit me a bug. Hit me with a couple of bugs, us with one. All right, sick bug fact number two. I'm not gonna lie. Sick bugfact number one wasn't super sick, but sick buck nuck number two it's very sick. That's where they get you. Yes, when a caterpillar goes into a cocoon, it doesn't just change shape like an animorph in there, it releases enzymes and digests almost its entire

own body into liquid. That's crazy. Oh that is that's crazy, and then just creates a new animal in there. Yeah, I'm terrified of butterflies, Like, oh really, I might I don't understand. I don't understand them. I don't understand their flight patterns, their radic nous. I don't understand how you can be one thing and then google yourself to another fucking thing, Like I don't go your way. I'm gonna google my way on over to being a butterfly if

you don't mind. Yeah, nah, I will not allow it. No, they've got beautiful face, they've got beautiful wings and ugly ass faces. Butterflies are or um. Yeah, but but butterflies are butterfaces. They really are. Yeah. Oh these big long leg fucking creepy insects with colorful different color way. Oh no, yeah, no, I will I will run from a butterfly. I will run from butterfly as uncommon as the movie is too too short. I don't trust butterflies, cheese avant garde with

these takes. I don't even know if they're hot. It might just be, but they are. So that's that's amazing. Well, thank you so much, HOLLYE. Jakis. Where people find you?
