Do you do you do with fou? But yeah, I mean you're on strike like the rest of the writers. Yeah, I'm on strike. So I've been catching up on a lot of TV.
It's just finally time to sit down watch ten seasons of Anderpump Rules. I watched all of like the new selling Sunset in a day. I just, you know, it's time to just really sit down and connect with all the TV that that I'm not writing or you know, because it's it's so much fun being on strike. You know, you go the picket line, you eat some free pizza, that Jerry Seinfeld brought you.
It's great. It's fun to see all the celebrities that pull up in solidarity. Like I saw a flavor Flave came up, like he brought a bunch of burgers, a bunch of burgers, and I'm like noted, noted.
Yeah, Yeah, Larry David sent a coffee truck. The Daniels. They brought a bunch of ARBs to Netflix one day, so ARV.
I love those too. It's like kind of a divisive one. Does Arby's travel It doesn't, but they're.
On from It was very close.
But like they got and they to their credit, they stole a tray from the Arby's and just like covered it and like curly fries and mots rella sticks. But I think they did a disservice going with like a lot of the fried stuff.
Is that just like you know, by the time you make it one loop around the picket line, it's it's cold.
To get Yeah, Arby's got the meats. They can you can have a turkey sandwich from there to hogs and a little.
Come on meat Mountain. Remember when they used to do that when they put all of them on the sandwich. Yeah, and now they're doing like sliders or something anyway, Yeah.
They got like a slider thing they're trying to really read.
There's like the one Arby's of note in LA. Is that in La? Like by Netflix?
So I can it looks like it could be the original Arby's. Like the sign that's outside of it looks like it's in the background of the Taxi Driver movie.
Yeah, right right, it.
Looks like the one that the original McDonald's. That's like the first one, you know, yeah, exactly.
You you are one of their fore most TV thinkers writers. Yeah, so, I mean it's a time of prestige television. So I'm glad to hear that you're, you know, get getting caught up on vander Pump and the History other things, the other prestige franchises.
Oh yeah, I've watched a solid maybe two to three seasons of bar Rescue.
Oh yeah, I love that.
Oh I love it.
I mean, actually I feel like we have very similar like, you know, tastes and TV. You also love the ninety day trash reverse and you know you help guest co host for twenty Dance. Are you are you like me? Where you like that genre of reality show which is expert yells at stupid people like like yeah, like Tabitha's Salon takeover.
Yeah, Tabitha's Salon takeover, Bar rescue, like on the Kitchen and Spectrum like my six hundred pound life, and like hoarders.
Oh are the Shark Tank count?
Is that?
Or not? When it's good?
When when someone can yeah, when it's good.
But sometimes people on Shark Tank, it's like, Okay, you're smart, this is boring. I want I want someone who's just like they're yelling and they're like, you shouldn't store cat piss in your fridge.
And that's why not?
Like well why not? Mark?
You know, why not? Why can't I do that? What's the issue?
Something like an issue with you? That's my favorite part of Shark Tank is when a pitch goes south and then the person gets salty with the sharks and you're like, oh, okay, go ahead.
Blow it up now, it's good, blow it up.
Yeah right exactly. Yo, man, you're ruining lucas career. Bro, you're ruining Lucas career. Anyway, that's fine, I mean I can see that. Sure, you don't want to buy my my cat piss containers, but at least I know what.
You refrigerated, cat piss container refrigerated. You never know when you're gonna want those refrigerated.
Well, I'm sorry, man, you started your pitch saying, what doesn't yetti make that everyone's asking for something that keeps yours cold.
Something that keeps explicitly specific.
For But yeah, that's that's the brand of reality TV.
I love.
I've been diving back into all the trash. Did all of I Am Jazz seven seasons? Watch it in three days? It's a problem I am.
I guess it's this TLC reality show.
Yeah, it's about and it's about intermural jazz done by this girl, Jazz Jennings, who was like the youngest first trans woman to like be like on TV. She did like twenty twenty when she was like six years old, and then her parents were like, oh, we can make money off of this for a long time, and they put her on a reality show that has gone on from basically when she was like twelve to now twenty two and in college and most of the show you're just like, please let this girl just live a normal
life and get her off of TV. Please just like let her leave her alone. And then you see a mom who's just like no, no, and it's too actually, yeah, just her mom being like, yeah, I see what you're saying about maybe how she could use some privacy. But have you ever considered that I like being on television and it's great.
It's so good.
That sounds amazing. All right, Well, Ashley, we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about later in the episode. We're gonna check back in with Harlan Crowe. The Atlantic hit us with another puff piece from our.
Boy, Graham Wood. Graham Wood knock on Wood.
Yeah, yeah, he's still a fan, dude, you won't believe it. So he finally got the invite that he's been dying for. The guy who for Harlan Crowe is so fucking sad to me. Yeah, and he's like a lifelong Harlan Crow simp. He's like, I've peered through the gates of his house and wondered what it would be like to be inside there. And so therefore The Atlantic has made this my beat me, the strangest person to like, the person with the strangest
connection to the story possible. I'm now the authority on that. Anyways, we'll talk about that weird story. We'll talk about David zaz Love Warner brother Discovery CEO The Zazz to be you his alma mater, to deliver a commencement speech, and it was unlike presumably what.
He was expecting, different than all hands meeting at Warner Discovery.
They handed him his ass Yes, exactly what you are expecting hearing that sentence, but unlike what the Zazz was expecting.
So we'll talk about that.
We'll talk about Adidas's plan to sell off the remaining Geezy gear with like some proceeds going to charity. But it's basically like, man, we're upside down on this ship. And then Disney Plus is getting rid of a whole bunch of content from Yeah, they're doing the bunch of TV, they're doing the we're writing it down as a loss and therefore you're never allowed.
To see it again.
Thank you, all of that plenty more. But first, Ashley, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history this week?
In my search history deep dives into California and New Jersey child support laws because on the latest season of Selling Sunset, one of the new people is Nick Cannon's baby mama, Wow, which, Yeah, I had no idea Nick Cannon's reach would.
Hit the Selling Sunset universe.
I think by the year twenty twenty eight, every TV show will feature one of Nick Cannon's baby mamas first.
And she like, wait, Bree is one of nick can Bree.
Brie is Nick Cannon's baby mama, and she is six weeks post baby. And basically all of these women in the in the Oh the Oppenheimer group are like, how can you be with him? Like you see a good dad, And she's like, that's my man, that's my family. I stand by him. We're such a we're in an open relationship, but he's my man. And then she finds out two days later he had a baby and that she just did not even know was coming. She's like, wait, there's
another baby, no idea. And she's talking to all the other women and she's like, well, in California, if I'm man has more than ten children, they can just be like, he can't afford any more child support. So like Nick Cannon doesn't have to pay anymore because he had so many kids, But this kid is baby number eight, so makes it in the window. But then a bunch of people were like, she's wrong, That's not how California child
support laws work. So I had to google it for myself to really get to the bottom of this thing, and it turns out that's not true. At ten kids in California, they can like relook at your financial status and be like, hey, let's like across the board bring the amount down for all your twenty children. But there's never a limit where it's like yeah, yeah, where it's like you got too many kids, Like anybody after twelve, we're s harrd.
Yeah.
So that interpretation of the law seems like it was written by Nick Cannon. Yes, like I think has like Cannon and Cannon.
He has like a copy and pasted the text.
He says to these women that's like yeah, but just so you know in California, he's.
Like, Oh, let me put you on the phone with my lawyer, which is me who I'm gonna guess with.
A right now, speaking in a silly voice. But let me tell you the girl. I literally by the time they finished filming the season, apparently he already has three other kids. After Breeze kid. It's like within five months, it is a wild.
Wow wow wow. Breathe, Okay, I'm like reading things like she found about child nine, like on the set, on.
The set, like she's just hanging out trying to sell a house, opens her phone and is like what whoops? Oh yeah, and the other girls are not nice about it. No, I mean yeah, just so you know they are not supported.
No, I'm seen, yeah, because they they they they move in a certain way like I remember like a Manza when she was struggling and all that are you'll even like the Brown woman some problems here selling Sunset because that's what it looks like.
To me, that's what it is. And it's yeah, and we have some new big bats this season. So my search history has just been dedicated to understand all things child support in real estate law in California.
Shit. I just love that he's treating like paternity like a subway punch card. And he's like, I got to ten. There's no such thing as child support. This after ten, you're good. Yeah, after ten, you're good.
He also did a big interview where he sell its favorite like he was like, my favorite child is Onyx and he was like three days a week. I make sure to be with Onyx, which is the child born right after briskid.
Oh, and their child is called Legendary Love.
Yes, Legendary Love, who does not make his favorite not Onyx is the only one. He's like, I go to back for her.
He's like, because I fucked with the rap group Onyx back in the day after that House of Pain.
He also was just the subject of an LA Times article that was like everybody like pigeonholes him as guy with lots of kids, but you don't know is he's like clearing fifty million dollars a year, which sounds like it's gonna sounds like he had the wrong interpretation of the child support law when when he did that story, because.
Sounds yeah, yeah, because it's like you don't want people to know how much money you're making. I think, like Nick, this is going to be a tax issue in the future. Like I just he's not making good choices here.
Right right, Unfortunately, care how many hair rats you're wearing.
He might want to google some California child support laws because he clearly doesn't know what he's working.
He' said like, my honor, I will represent myself by day and I do believe uh Section two twenty subcold three, you have sub cold. I don't know. Look, my honor, it's been a long day. I have twelve.
I have twelve kids. I have been in the court of wild and out all day.
So tired.
Do you have any idea how many colds I've had. I've had all the colds, every flu, every variant of flu, currently traveling through the public school system in Californe. What is something that you think is overrated?
I truly had ted Lasso written on my list. I do still watch it in this third season. The finale is in two weeks. This last episode I thought was one of the corniest things I've ever seen on TV. And then I get on Twitter and everyone is like, I cried for thirty hours after that episode of ted Lasso. That was Yeah, that's just that was the most beautiful thing when they had the mean guy play violin while a woman did a monologue, and you were like, oh
my gosh, humanity is beautiful. I just I was just like sitting there, like, am I having a stroke? Like am I just have I become the world's meanest hater that I don't understand what people are saying in this what what is?
What is it? And I know I I say this as a joke club like, but what is it about Ted? Because I get everybody loved it. I watch it, and for whatever reason, it rubs me the wrong way. For some reason, I'm not and I'm not. And I went into it being like, yeah, fuck with soccer, Yeah go ahead, and then I'll go yeah. I don't know, man, I think in my mind I was like, I'm too far gone for this show, is how I sort of described it, like I'm damaged goods and I can't.
Interesting because the first season is incredible, Like I will give the first season all that credit. If you're gonna watch it, just watch the first season. It started as this sharp, thirty minute sitcom that was, you know about like enemies becoming friends and your pretty standard tropes, but
in an interesting way with soccer. And then somewhere along the lay way, they were like, how about instead of thirty minute episodes, we make the episodes an hour and instead of a funny sitcom, we turn it into like.
A drama rom com.
And actually it can just be like ten different genres all shoved together. So sometimes it's like a sports show, and sometimes it's a rom com and sometimes it's like a feminist good time, and I don't think anyone knows what they're doing, and they just kind of gave into all the fan service of like, oh, fans want Roy Kent to be like nice and funny, so let's make
him nice and funny. Now, Oh, they don't want Nate to be evil, so let's like keep Nate not too evil and just make him nice again for no real reason. And it just really is one of those shows. I don't think we've seen a show like this in modern times that has like lost its way so thoroughly because it gave in too like all of the awards and fan service and just was like yeah, go yeah, Like there's no reason for these episodes to be an hour long.
Like you watch it and you're just like, why am I still watch?
Like how is it still there?
Right right right? You're looking at your watch?
Really, we covered how Jason Sadaik has recently revealed that like Ted Lasso originally was like mean, like every football coach in the world actually is, and then yeah, like full of toxic masculinity, and then he like when Trump got elected, he had the insight that like maybe people just need a nice person, And then it sounds like they have systematically had that same insight about every single character and every like conflict and negative emotion that it's like,
what if everyone was just happy and yeah, they revealed their trauma immediately and then had it smoothed out by just good old fashioned American optimism.
What about that there's no conflict, There's no anytime they try to create conflict, you know that it's not real. There's a character who comes out of the closet this this season and one of his friends kind of acts like, oh, I don't want to talk to you anymore, don't touch me. And you're like, oh, no, is he homophobic? Is this going to be an actual issue? But almost I was immediately like no, his problem is that he can't believe
the guy lied to him, but he's totally supported. Yeah, And by the end of the episode, he's showing up to the Flowers like it's not that you're gay, it's just that you didn't tell me for five years and.
I shouldn't have centered myself in your process.
Yeah, And it's like, yeah, great, I'm glad we spent you know, four episodes on this just so we can end on them playing video games together and being buddies again.
Okay, great, right, right?
And yeah, because I remember initially when that character came out, it was like a promo for NBC Sports and he was like a he was like a hard ass football coach trying to deal with this club.
And the last character when he came as a like a commercial, Yeah, it was like an extended mid roll basically YouTube like viral clip, and then they kind of quickly faded off.
But yeah, yeah.
And I think you can just tell Jason Sadeikis is tired of playing this character. I think he doesn't really understand why this is the show that he's doing that like blew up like this, like.
You watch now and you just kind of like he has just like the sense of like why do people like this? Yeah, I feel like he's baffled.
I think they're going to get it right with the next Prestige TV show adapted from a TV commercial character, Jake from State Farm is actually going to be just like a problem a fixer in Washington sort of scandal, but with without any of the conflict or pathos, and Jake from State Farm just like fix it easily.
Yeah.
Apple TV is working on this as we saw.
Yeah, like they have some scab writers who are getting it down.
Oh yeah, fully written by AI. What is something that you think is underrated?
Yeah, a very TV centric list. As you know, as the host of TV, I say underrated. I'm going with Missus Davis on Peacock. It's an amazing show that no one is talking about because Peacock doesn't promote their TV shows. They just the only one they want people to know about is bubb Kiss with Pete Davidson. But they have this other show, Missus Davis, that is revolutionary. It is the best show I've watched this year and no one is talking about.
It's after being hosted from her convents, sister Simone vows to destroy the one responsible, powerful artificial intelligence known as Missus Davis.
Wait what exactly?
It is about a nun who is trying to destroy this massive AI system that's taken over the world. Basically, it's like, you know, you put a little air pod in your ear and it scans your brain and knows everything you want, everything you want or need.
It can like help you achieve.
So everyone in the world is obsessed with this AI product and this one Nun blames it for killing her father and is out for revenge, and that is fuck the high level story.
It's Damon Lindloft, Damon Lindeloff.
Yeah, and he's yes, but with this in Watchman, I am like, he's my favorite. He's killing it. All The performances are so good. Betty Gilpin is the lead. The guy from Greek, Yeah, Greek Hive if you're out there, Yeah, Jack Evan from Greek is the main guy in it. And it's so incredible. It's just that only scratches the surface of what the show is about. But it is probably the smartest written thing I've seen on TV this year. It is one of those shows that makes you go,
oh yeah, human people need to write television. This is why it's so incredible and smart, right, It's it's so good And I wish that I wish Peacock would do as much advertising for their shows as I do, Like I promote Peacock shows more than their own PR department, And so yeah, missus Davis, please yeah.
I can't figure out why the streaming economy doesn't work where you just like make these really expensive press these shows and then just like dump them in the dark.
Yeah, and then in the dark and you don't tell anyone, yeah yeah, and then you're just like, oh, but Pete Davidson's Bubbkiss will put up ten million billboards about it.
Right, right.
Blame I blame the writers personally.
I think it's they're just too selfish or could you imagine it's at the work of an algorithm in the Peacock marketing arons like I don't know about AI, like someone destroying me. No, no, no, let's not promote that one.
Let's not promote it.
Let's really focus on bub Kiss and the wrestling that Peacock has for some reason.
Right, it's okay, good? Yeah, I mean because it's true, like the marketing really is not great. Like we had Jason Wallinger on when Paul T. Goodman came out, and like a lot of our listeners are like, what's this show, and they're like, I have Peacock.
I have Peacock and haven't heard about it. Like I check Peacock every day and it won't tell me about like new seasons of shows I have watched on Peacock, Like I watched all of the first season of Killing It and I know it got a second season that I think comes out soon, and I like Peacock's not like, Hey, that show you watched is coming back.
I want that. Yeah, it's like you want more of that, I guess it.
And so yeah, I gotta I gotta scream about missus Davis kill a I and she's a hot nun.
So there you go, there you go.
All right, well let's take a quick break and we will be right back. And we're back, and Harlan Crowe is just a regular old guy and everybody needs to cool it.
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, do you say anything more than that?
Yeah?
Yeah, I mean I wasn't familiar with Harlan Crowe before all of this controversy, so I was shocked that he apparently had a stand in this like Gramo guy who was just like, oh, I've been into this dude, and he's just a regular dude, you know, like all of our grandpa's. He's like funding a Supreme Court judge, you know, just a regular old dude like.
All of them. For how else would you unburden yourself with generations of inherited wealth? When he said the things that this right bind.
He's not buying Nazi crap. He's unburdening him himself with this historical relics, that's.
All it is.
And if you're gonna buy historical relics, why would it be of say the country you live in, or maybe something related.
Why wouldn't it be Nazis.
It's gotta be cool.
There's so much history.
Yeah.
But so the first like as people were, you know, as the pro Publica series was being published, The Atlantic came out with this article that made headlines because the author was like, anyone who calls him a Nazi for collecting Nazi paraphernalia is an idiot, and I think we all know that, right, people can all agree His last line of like the article is something to the effect of like Harlan Crowe's friends know that he's not a Nazi, and it's like but and those that don't, of course,
they jump to that because they're not smart like his friends. And you're like like, like, oh what, because America is a meritocracy and we can all just agree on that and move on. But as we talked about the last time we covered this, the guy Graham Wood is a like as he mentioned in the first article, like grew up in the same town as Harlan crow and like Dallas and would like run past his compound and like peer through the gates and like wonder what was going.
So he's he is like a lifelong fan of this billionaire like property. Yeah, his property, his mystique, you know.
So he's he's.
Always wanted to just get in there. He's been looking for this opportunity to.
You know, we all peek over the fence of a villain's mansion and go, Maybe me someday.
I wish I could hang and hang out in there and enjoy some cannabis.
Let me tell you favorite favorite pastime of black and brown people in the US peering over somebody's fence that you don't it always ends properly where I've never done that ship in my life. But anyway, this piece, though, he really got the first piece got Harlan Crowe's attention, and he was like, oh shit, this okay, these guys kind of a fan standing up. Yeah, I like, I fuck with this grand.
He wants to see.
Yeah, totally over. So guess who got a personal invitation to Harlan Crowe's fucking sculpture garden. None other than Graham would and apparently up top he's like, look, man, I'm not gonna talk about this Clarence Thomas shit. He's like, oh yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure, sure, for sure, obviously we will never That's not even important to me. What I'm trying to do is humanize you. And this whole thing it's about as predictably like a puff piece
as you can imagine. Like it's filled with some really dumb equivocations. There's one part where Harlan Crow's like, I wouldn't be mad if like, let's say George Soros was friends with like the head of the World Bank, And you're like, oh, y'all, you really screamed that dog whistle into the mic. Okay, okay, And let's not pretend like a Supreme Court justice is some kind of rabid capitalist
business person. But I guess maybe that's what is being revealed, is that these these people are not really here to adjudicate fairly that they're they can you know, they're ideological pieces that can be manipulated by people like Harlan Crowe. But again, I think overall this piece just a really really cool moment where this journalist completely misses the point in order to like curry favor with a billionaire that he admires and tries to pretend as if his ties
to Clarence Thomas aren't deeply problematic. He's like, of course you should disclose that stuff, obviously. I'm saying that. He's like, what was the fucking problem if he bought his mom's house. She lives there rent free or pay whatever. Marla's just a good dude.
He's always just helping people who happen to be on the Supreme Court.
Okay, yeah, always like.
He knows where to put his money. The title of the piece is called the Collector because you're like, wow, great, I love.
It is, which I just like they just wave off the collecting Nazi memorabilia so easy, like just it's not like collecting lucky pennies, okay, Like in Germany people aren't allowed to collect Nazi memorabilia. I studied German history, and I have no interest in collecting like Nazi memorabilia.
Like what, It's just so fascinating that some of the three leaders during World War Two were all artists. I just think there's a fun story there. That's what he says about buying Hitler's painting.
That's just a fun story.
So there's a fun story there, Like Okay, well what's the fun I.
Mean, this is where I'm like taking Let's ask them, Let's ask some more questions.
I think at best, right, he's so disconnected from what it means to collect that Nazi shit that he really doesn't see an issue because like, oh, like I'm not affected by white supremacy or hate like in ways like that. Plus my money insulates me from that kind of reality. So I truly look at it as buying like old shit. Not even that I don't like. I like it. I'm like, I get a fun story. I don't know what. I
don't know. Hitler wasn't that scary, even when I think of myself, I probably would have been fine.
So you know, are what are we afraid of?
Yeah? What's the issue? But yeah, like there's another part though, too, where like Graham Wood really wants to underline crows like never Trump like bona fides or he's like man like he he hates Trump though, like he hates them, so like huh, like it's just kind of like out of know, we're just saying that, Like, so that's got to count
for something. It's like, but at the end of the day, he is so invested in the conservative like legal movement that like, what, I don't understand why you think that one is different from the other, because they're both. They're both like trains that are moving in the exact same direction. Yeah.
One is impolite and draws attention to itself, which yeah, is against the rules, especially for people who are part of, you know, the tradition of collecting and protecting generational wealth. Yeah, you know, so the Trump is bad for those people.
There was there was another good quote that was saying, how Harlan Crow like, actually he doesn't feel powerful at all. He doesn't get why. He's like, He's like, I'm actually not that powerful. They Yeah, He's like, I'm windle and weak. He's like he's like they even like in the thing that like saying even President Biden has said he's like how He's like, you think you're gonna be calling the shots.
He's like, I take more orders now as president than I ever thought I would as like as a way to be like yeah, yeah, because you don't know where you are home. That's what.
Part of the Democratic Party that is fucking tied irrevocably to massive billionaires like this asshole.
Yeah exactly, but it just like it's fun to like painted. It's like he doesn't even think he's he himself thinks he's weak, so it's okay, Like, yeah.
It's totally fine if I'm not actually because I don't think I have the power. Like sometimes I call Clarence Thomas and he doesn't even call me back until like fifteen minutes later.
I'm very, very weak.
Those fifteen minutes they feel like an hour.
I gotta tell you, man, I tell you. I've told Mike Walt granddaughter who just got back from Liberal Arts College. I've been ghosted too, okay by Clarence. It's tough out here. It's hard for a billy, you know what I mean. But yeah, it's it's more predictable, like nonsense. I don't know why they're all in on this campaign to like try and defend Harlan Crow, like like what the editors at The Atlantic are like, oh you got another Harlan Crow piece. Yeah, it up in the hot. But again,
at the end of the day's go. It's truly to be what the kids say, right, let's go, let's go. Atlantic Office this one. It's different. My god, bro, this was busting, busting. You didn't tell me about this. I actually believe he's a normal guy. But yeah, I mean I think it just shows legacy media is still there. They're still in the billionaire culture. So they're not about to they're not about to point fingers and ship. Yeah.
This guy, by the way, graduated from Harvard and currently is also a lecture in political science at Yale University. So it's really in touch with the people, the mainstream media, Ivy League, like that whole insular circle of people just cranking each other off and being like we're all we all get it right, Like we we can't tell the
truth here, right. We know that there's an order two things, if you know what I'm saying, And it like ultimately comes down to fucking eugenics and being fascists, like being wealth fascists essentially.
I wonder if they, like I can imagine they listen to Run the World by Beyonce and they who run like us, we love this.
Yeah, Carlan Crow is definitely like on his little stationary by pumping that in his ears, exercise bikes that with the little arms.
Yeah, he's got the old timey like workout equipment from Nazi Germany's like a jiggle belt that like jingles your belly until the it's supposed to just like make this thing, make that mel off.
He's like my gold kettle bell. It's it's from stolen teeth from Oh never mind, don't worry about it anyway. It weighs a ton.
Though, all right, uh, from one billionaire to probably David Zzla is probably not a billionaire yet. And that's so, yeah, we're he might be on his way, which is why we're going to give him the dignity of talking about him. He delivered a commencement speech at his alma mater, bu.
He is the Warner Brothers Discovery CEO who has done a lot of kind of fucked up shit and like started the trend of just cutting all sorts of yeah, like canceling a movie that had already been completed, canceling a bunch of shows that exist, the family department.
Getting rid of the animation department.
He came up with the Max idea of joining Discovery plus an HBO Max to just be Max Max, which is one of the worst branding choices and maybe the history of advertising.
But the ads, they're really winning me over. Those ads are all over NBA.
My my favorite part is when they're like all the TV you love and it's like the Wire, the Sopranos secession, and.
Then they're just throwing ninety eight beyond.
And International're like yeah, and I'm like, you know what, they're not wrong. I'm like, facts, I know all of those back.
Yeah.
So yeah.
But so he didn't get very far into his speech, and in fact, people started booing even during his introduction.
Oh yeah.
And there is just a constant ebb and flow of heckling throughout his twenty minutes.
So yeah, let's uh, let's let's hear they'll listen to what I'll see what happens when they brought this man coming to the stage right now and then ring out.
Mister, I have the honor to present David for Boston University's honor.
Is he here?
We go them?
Wow?
So uncomfortable.
Yeah, And and the collaps are just the people on stage.
Close to the microphone just being like, yeah, wow, it's really going across the squad man. You can hear that. Yeah, he was definitely he was not. I love seeing that when like he's fucking out of touch. Wealthy people think they're about to be fucking welcomed by a chorus of cheers, and I was like, fuck you and.
Just boo and then the professors in the background trying not to laugh. Those were my favorite, just looking at their knees with like a smile.
Yeah.
Yeah, like when Fergie saying the national anthem at that one All Star game. Yeah, oh whoa say?
Can you see people like I just like just don't don't, don't, don't, don't react, but yeah, he I don't know.
People screamed, pay your writers, we don't want you here, and more to the point, shut.
Up zaz Lab.
That's a good chance.
That's not even just while the strike is bigger than one studio, it's pretty easy to see why he is kind of being portrayed as the mascot for the bad guys here, not least which because his compensation last year was nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars and they are treating writers and.
Creatives like shit just generally across the board. Well yeah, and also like when you think of how how rigid all the streamers are being about royalties too, Like maybe look at him and what he's presiding over. You're like, yeah, man, there's a lot of shit, a lot of roads are leading to you or you know that it works like yours.
Well, a big part of him like taking these shows down is that you know, it is a tax right off or whatever, but it also stops them from playing paying residuals to writers and the actors, which is residual on TV. Oh, you'd make so much money broadcast residuals. For streaming, you may.
Be lucky if you get like a fifty cent check.
So it's already a thing where it's like the writers aren't making much money off of this, They're gonna fight to get more money on residuals. And his idea is just, well, if we just take the shows off, then you'll never get the residuals. And other networks are clearly following suit. So it's just like, yeah, zos, love like you, Fuck you right, fuck you for giving Hollywood this idea, because now every platform is doing it.
Yeah.
He later issued a statement after his commencement speech saying that he is immensely supportive of writers, but he there's also a recent interview in which he said that the thing that will end the strike is not a fair deal for writers, but rather a love of working.
Get the fuck?
Oh yeah, come at us, right, We just love it so much that like, uh, even if I'm getting paid unfairly, I just gotta do it.
I just love it. Love it, love it, love it, love it so much.
Like Yeah, for the people that like are the own business owners, they are still so stuck in this mindset where they think, yeah, like everyone loves to toil. I don't understand, like I'm making money. They make a pittance that they can live off of and have their little bites of bread or whatever poor people eat, and it all starts working. I love that he thinks that the love of working is going to motivate people, because guess what if you can't support yourself, it means fuck all
to work. But David, please, let's just let's just check in one more time with the students of Boston University, just so we can hear them. The looks on his.
Face, by the way, like his mouth just turned into like a like completely horizontal line across when they started.
Doing was oh yeah, yeah, Like he's also wearing ridiculous sunglasses like he does.
Yes, yeah, because they're like polarized and mirrored. It looks like he got off like a fishing boat off the coast of Florida or something. Ye like the way that he's got these lines anyway, but let's.
Think you're serving Hollywood, but he's actually serving yeah, like fishing charter a guy who just chartered a fishing boat.
You're serving clearwater Florida, Broye and and you're at a boat party where Connor Cruise, Tom Cruise, his son is djaying that's.
What well, also DJ what's his name? The Golden Goldman Sachs CEO.
Oh yeah, some people will be looking for a fight.
Looking for a fight, and he gave thumbs up, like yeah, I get you, I get it. I suck, but don't be the one they find it with.
Terrible some people's good qualities.
Jack was lying. In my career, I've seen so many talented people jack tunities or jobs.
Because they couldn't because it's such a weird way. He's gonna be like this because they asked for too much and negotiation.
To too much because people weren't ready for their ideas. And it's like no, they were just very talented and smart, but they couldn't get along with me an asshole.
Yeah, see when they said I was racist. You see you're being difficult now I'm not going to work with people.
Will be looking for a fight, but don't give it to him, Like that's how he views conflict as like something you would be avoided and just like he's basically
telling writers not to strike in his speech. Yeah, or just what your mindset needs to be to be a fucking like heinous, multi gazillion eira is to be like, dude, don't there will is basically there will be haters, right, just know that, but don't give them a reason to hate because you will become powerful enough or you can completely fuck the haters over, just so you know, just so you know, like somebody who just got this lucky giving a speech telling people like how to do it,
and his speech is like you just gotta not push back when people are mean to you. Just don't know, baby.
Take it and like just that's fine, and just don't be the person they're looking for a fight for, sir, Like you're the one.
Yeahes the people that you work with.
Figure out what you like about a person. There's always something and do what it takes to navigate their challenges. We all have them. The reality is most of us don't pay enough attention to our weaknesses.
Okay, wow, yeah, you're saying a lot, all right, Okay, cool man.
Yeah, Okay, Buddy.
Dave, big d Yeah.
There's also that Vanity Fair profile. I don't think we've covered yet, but there's like a Vanity Fair profile where they're like the head regular guy after fifteen years running Discovery, the media mogul for main Street opens up for main Street, opens up about his upcoming battle with Disney and Netflix. He's a reflection of his audience, says Nancy Pelosi. He's a regular guys.
Nancy Pelosi, the most normal guy, just the most Nancy knows normal guys.
Yeah.
I think my favorite part of that whole thing is there's like a story of someone, yeah, the fleabag story, where like David is on a yacht with all his friends and they put on one of his own properties.
I think it's like flea.
Bag, and then he's like flea bag, should we check it out?
Which at this point came out like fucking what five years ago, Like this is so past the prime, right, And then there's this sex scene, and he truly is like stop everything, like pause. We either all have to decide we're turning this off or we're all just gonna sit, like sit silently and stare ahead and.
Not look at each other. He sounds like a youth pastor trying to navigate that moment.
Right.
What's the quote one The group found itself in the midst of a hot and heavy sex scene a minute into the first episode of Fleabag pause exclamation point. So I put my hand up, recalls as Love.
I go whoa.
So they stop it, and I said, Okay, here's the strategy. We're we either shut it off or we put it back on, and everybody only looks forward. We don't look at each other until it's over. It sounds like he was telling them not to look at him so he could jerk off. Wanted to jaf like everyone nobody looks at each other. Nobody when you hear something weird over here, you don't look over from the gy contact, which I've said about this whole trick.
No eye contact, no eye contact.
Don't look me, especially not when I'm jacking off to this scene that we're we're all.
We made a fucking bout Kevin, eyes ahead, you come on, man, so weird. We don't strategy at each other.
We don't look at each other during a which also the fleabag sex scenes like aren't sexy, No, Like they're all like.
Awkward, uncomfortable. Whichell what that's the thing you could comment on after be like, man, that was awkward to be watching that with you my workmates.
My workmates, he's like, we're all going to jack off to this, right, don't look at.
Each other, don't look at me, because strategy is the operative we're here. I'm like, what are they? What is what is the shared game they are trying to achieve with said strategy?
Just the CEO brain of thinking you have to say, okay, here's the stretch during sex.
In his mind, he's like, he's like, David, you're getting a boner. You're getting a boner. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa tell him to shut it off to him? Whoa pause, guys, whoa, whoa, whoa. Here we go, Okay, here's the strategy. What what you talk talking? Yeah?
And I just need to know what it is like watching so many shows with him, Like how is he getting through Euphoria. I'd like, let me watch an episode of Euphoria with David Sasla.
What's that strategy?
What is the strategy, buddy?
Yeah, oh my god, Yeah, it's it's it's terrifying. And again, it's so terrifying to think that these are the kinds of people that are at the helm of these massive networks that make the decisions that come down what kind of creativity we see like manifest on the screen some guy who is so like sexually repressed or whatever the fuck's going on here that he has to go whoa pause everyone, look ahead, No, no, no, no, no, oh my god, what did I get into with this HBO crap?
Like right, like what what did you think you were buying?
But even with that, it's like you have Discovery Plus, which is like, you know a lot of your shows are like ninety Day Fiance, You, Me and My Ex like that do Darcy Darcy and Stacey where they're just.
Like half naked all the time.
Especially now like where they're like leaning into showing more like intimate scenes and it gets like way more salacious to the fund. Yeah, I've been more uncomfortable with certain depictions of like sexual encounters with like cast members on ninety Day Fiance than I ever have been with anything like normal, like screen.
Than Fleaback or anything.
Yeah, like ninety Day of the Single Life when they had deb and that old guy just like straight up like groping each other and.
Making out on screen. Oh, come on, that's come on.
Pause, yeah, pause, here's the strategy we need to strategize. I'm gonna hit myself in the head with a hammer and don't call an ambulance for a least fifteen minutes.
Yeah, but that's that's just mainstream America. That's just he's a regular, regular guy.
The regular guy, says me, Nancy, one hundred thousand dollars ice cream freezer, Pelosi Pulos. We gotta have a second freezer for your ice cream, right, Yeah, it's gotta be that drawer kind.
You're not gonna open like a French.
Like that's stupid.
You want to you want to slide out, you want to see all those Jenny flavors that are fourteen dollars of pine or whatever.
Yea, and yeah, it's all good. Look good. He's normal. He's normal, folks, He's normal. He eats Briar's ice cream. Yeah, he's normal normal.
Be interesting to see if he like doubles down now if he's like, my guess CEO mentality is like this is this is his villain origin story. And he starts like.
The White House White House Correspondence dinner.
Yeah, he starts like joining the Elon Musk chats that he's been inviting him to where he's.
Been talking already.
Absolutely, yeah, if he's not already.
But again it's not just even this, like look at where because he's also in charge of CNN and like look at what happened with that Trump town hall and like how much they're trying to court Donald Trump back onto CNN for their just for ratings. Ratings.
Baby, we made the news and that is our job as people who cover the news.
I heard the quote, make the news. The quote discord makes my Dick Hoarde is actually a David Saslov quote. It's actually not Roman Roy.
But yeah, yeah, amazing.
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. And so Adidas has revealed their strategy for selling off all right, here's the strategy strategy. All right, So Panye was the Kanemit pause the Kanye interview. I said, all right, here's the strategy.
Folks. We either pretend it didn't happen, or we watch it in feign ignorance after the found it went with both. Yeah.
So yeah, after belatedly cutting ties with Kanye, Adidas is stuck with a ton of Yeasy merch and we're worried that they'd lose a lot of money if they couldn't find a way to repurpose all the tainted products. And their solutions seemed to be just like to sell the leftover easy sneakers, which apparently they're valuing it one billion dollars. We'll see what the market it says about that. I don't think anybody wants to.
Be wearing I mean I've gone on the I've been on the Yeasy subreddit where fans of the shoes like all congregate and they it's like manna from heaven time for these people.
Oh yeah, because I mean they're just shoes.
I'm telling you, if you were, if you were fucking rock, you never gave a fuck to be Yeah, you're so mesmerized by his you're not letting go of that because and also, I mean, I think every easy thing i've seen is ugly as hell.
So if you're wearing that, like you're just into him.
Yeah, it's it's a good way to like out yourself. If someone will like not get great sense or can't read like the tone of society at the moment, they're like, you are wearing air himmlers, Okay, do that.
But yeah, yeah, so they're valuing a at worth one billion dollars. Proceeds will be donated to various anti racism groups, including the Anti Defamation League.
They could Yeah, so it's that's gonna make Kanye angry, you know where they're going to give a solid what five percent?
Problem? Yeah, that's the thing. Not all the money is going, not all of it. Portion of I've seen portion. I've seen the word chunk.
I love when a significant amount will be donating. Okay, the direct quote, how.
About you assign a dollar amount to that word because it's a little nebulous family, which am talking here?
Let's talk a percentage of sales instead of a chunk a set of what are we doing here, Adidas?
Yeah right exactly. They're like, well, actually, after costs and things, so like wait, hold on now, what how just how much money are you giving. That's the thing I'm really curious by because if they're part of their calculate this is we're about to take a l We're about to have to eat a billion dollars worth of product that we can't sell. Some of that has to be like how much can we make to be okay with it?
Not?
Well, the best version is just to give this away and then you know this, this is how we make amends for basically looking like we stand by this bullshit.
Yeah, because they're still basically making money off of these products designed by an anti Semitic person who probably will still get some money out of this. Like I don't see a way where they sell all this stuff at a discount and Kanye is not getting like some kind of percent of that right, Like yeah, yeah.
I wonder if like a lot.
Of the negotiations, like the reason it took so long for them to come up with this here's the strategy, was because they were trying to get him to sign off on like a strategy like this. Yeah, you know, we have to make it look like we are not racist, man, Like, come on, how we lost.
The Z At the same time, they cut their deal with Beyonce and Ivy Park, so they they just maybe they hate black people, and when are they gonna discount all the Ivy Park. That's what I'm that's the sale I'm waiting for.
Really, the last thing I heard about Ivy Park was that it was like dropping and everybody was like claiming.
Oh no, no, Like there was a big Wall Street Journal article that was like, yeah, Ivy Park does not sell. Adidas has lost like billions of dollars on this deal with Beyonce because no, like none of the like collections she put out ever recouped the money they spent to like do it and promote it.
Oh right, right right yeah, And.
People were just like there was no clear idea of like what these clothes were even for. Like people were just like, when do you see people out wearing Ivy Park. It's like gym ware and it doesn't make sense. There were a lot of drops happening that I had, like very similar clothing, but it would just be different patterns, I know, because I would buy all of them, right, and I would just be like, oh cool, these are the same pain it's just instead of like pink, you
know Ivy Park logos, they're orange Ivy Park logos. Okay, Beyonce, Sure, here's my eighty dollars, right, and they ended the deal. They were just like we're done, and everyone is just like, well, when is that gonna go on discount? When are we seeing Ivy Park?
We're actually going to burn the product?
Yeah, and now she has like a designer deal that I'm like, I'll never be able to afford that, but like, where is my Ivy Park and the Idida's like outlet mall.
Yeah, right exactly coming to a ross near you.
Yeah, yeah, Oh I have that cowprint skirt too, Yeah, yeah, but I love that. That was my favorite collection. She did a whole like denhim cowboy cowprint collection that was like the peak. I think that's maybe the only one that, like legit sold out and had good sales. And then after that it was just downhill and people saying like where do I wear denim chaps Beyonce?
Right, and like that's also not what I look for from Adidas necessarily.
Yeah, it's like denim. Yeah. Well I think that's the other thing too, is like, I mean, look, she's a capitalist. Her and jay Z have said as much. They know they're they're there to secure baggage, like shout out to them for buying a two hundred million dollars house in Malibu cash money over the weekend.
Wow only lines they cross his dollar signs and also pickt lines.
Yea told Marmont, Yeah, no problem, wasn't that, wasn't that him? Wasn't that that was jay Z.
And then back in like two thousand and seven, it came out that they were like, the Grammys were happening during the last writers strike, and they were like, hey, musicians, you shouldn't perform, like the Grammys aren't going to get a waiver to do it. And Beyonce was like, I just straight up came out and was like, I don't care about the strike. I will perform at the Grammys no matter what.
I'm Beyonce Ible.
It was just like you did not have to say this, why?
Yeah? That why?
And like the strike ended the week before the Grammy, so it was fine, but I just love that she was.
Like, just half way, I don't care.
Hey, just in case it was unclear to anyone, Oh, yeah, I don't care. Yeah, I will bring up to a ligne nobody And I mean Disney is streaming, is purging a bunch of streaming content, and I feel like we would be remiss if we did not use this opportunity Ashley right to ask you, like, what so what we're losing Willow, We're losing why the Last Man, We're losing the Turner and Hooch reboots the ask Jeff Goldbloom or something with like.
The World according to Jeff The World according to which came out at a weird time because it was also when there were like kind of some cancel hymn things coming out with like young women being like He's kind of weird, and so that show didn't get a lot of promotion. But I think what a lot of people are missing is that there are a lot of Hulu shows that are being purged in this Disney Hulu blend, because that's basically what's happening is they're gonna combine Disney
Plus and Hulu into one app. And then Disney said, well, Hulu, you have to get rid of your like dirty stuff that isn't Disney aligned. So they got rid of the Premise, which is a really funny show that bj Novak did that looks like gun Control. There's like the best episode is about this guy who designs the world's best like anal dildo, And obviously Disney was like, no, thank you, but if you get the chance to see it before it's taken off forever on like May twenty sixth or
the twenty fourth, go watch all the premise. They also took off Maggie, which was like a sweet little rom com, you know, modern day girl dating. Same with Everything's Trash, which was Phoebe Robinson and was basically about like a trashy, dirty, slutty black girl. We don't get that kind of representation,
so it felt really cool. And I think they also took off oh what was it it was the premise Maggie, Oh, and Dolphace, which that one was shocking because Hulu fought to keep Dolphace canceled High Fidelity, which people that was like the TV version of the movie had so many Zoe Kravitz in it. Everyone was like, this is gonna be a hit, but it was so expensive. They were like, we don't want that. We're gonna focus our money on Dollphace. They made two more seasons. It had like Cat Dennings.
It was pretty funny, and now they're just like, screw that. Take it all off the internet. No one can ever see it again.
So yeah, and we're out.
It reminds me of the latest season of Barry where they like debut that series on like some streaming platform and it's like number one for a night and then the next day they cancel it.
They cancel the algo, the right al go.
Yeah, and it is a lot of this is like shows they didn't promote, like I know, people didn't hear about Maggie, and so it's like you could still promote these things and have people watch them and have them become cult hits, but then guess what, they get popular and you're paying residuals to people because people are watching these shows and that's not what they want.
So right, yeah, just yeah, and it sucks.
I have so many friends who have written on these shows and then also wrote on like the HBO shows that are coming down, and now I have multiple friends who are like the last three shows I've worked on, you can't watch anywhere.
They don't exist, right, they don't.
Exist like you. They're not on illegal streaming sites usually unless they kind of were big enough. I think doll Face because it had multiple seasons you could probably watch on an illegal site. But like the premise, nobody paid attention to that show when it came out. Nobody knew bj Novak did a whole show.
I felt like I only knew about it because you were tweeting about it. Initial.
Yeah, I was the only person tweeting and talking about it.
And it's really good.
It has Tracy Ellis, ross, Iowed Barry like so many good people in it. And I thought for sure, like, oh, the fx bj Novacs, it's going to ride that wave of like the Bear and all of this, And instead it's you know, them just kind of taking away shows that also make the history and culture of these dating apps or of dating apps, of these streaming apps, and
of what people are interested in unclear. When you just take these shows off, you don't see like, oh, there was a resurgence of like female led rom coms during this time where we got dollphase, high fidelity, everything's trash, And instead it's just, oh, it never happened. And in the future when it's like, oh, why aren't there these like female led comedies, why is everything so male focused, and it's like, oh, because they erased it.
Right, they're gonna be like, did nothing get made between twenty twenty and twenty twenty three. Yeah, it's just like, actually everything got made.
Yeah, everything got made and just was erased.
And obviously a lot of the shows that are getting cut are shows that feature a lot of diversity that come from people of color. A lot of the HBO Max shows that got cut had to do with, you know, Gordida Chronicles, Latina Showrunners, and I think with Disney, the biggest thing that shocked people was that they wanted to remove their documentary Herald, which is about the guy who basically created The Little Mermaid and made Disney like this huge animated movie like hit Destination Studio.
He was gay, and then Disney.
Was like, with the Little Mermaid reboot coming out, was like take it off, we don't want.
The new Little Mermaid reboot is dedicated to the memory of Howard Ashman. And then how the documentary Howard was is being taken off. They they reversed course because they recognized this as a bad look.
Yeah, so many people are like, do you really want to get rid of the one documentary about a gay guy right before Pride Month? And also when you just put a movie out decaded to him.
Right right, dedicated to his memory, with.
Which we would like to erase because we are to the memory of him, all the memory, not to anything that could hurt our stock price. If you know, some conservative see gay in our content.
Right exactly? I told you they're anyway. But yeah, good luck to them as they're their ongoing fight against ron Santis, Like we're like Jesus Christ, that battle where everyone loses. But hey, we'll see where that ends up too.
Ashley, such a pleasure having you back on the show. Where can people find you and follow you?
Follow me at the Ashley Ray on all the platforms, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, whatever. And if you're in New York June sixth, I'll be recording my debut album at Union Hall. Yeah, ice cream money, get your tickets, they're on sale, and.
Yeah, gotta be good shows. II can pull up there.
It's gonna be a good time.
Gotta you have an outfit for this stand up special.
I think I'm gonna go full Ibuy Park, full Ivy Parks.
Yeah, there you go. Let them know ahead of time. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?
Oh, I gotta give it to the randal Scandal documentary that just came out on Hulu today. It is about
Randall from the vander Pump Rules universe. I know everyone is talking about the scandalval issue in that whole affair, but the randal scandal is about La LA's husband band who like cheated on her, was super abusive to all of his assistants, and then it comes out that he like stole money from fifty cent and was part of the whole like elder abuse against Bruce Willis, and also is involved in vander Pump Rules.
And I had no idea about any of this and it very good.
Ough just makes the vander Pump Rules watching experience even better.
The Randall scandal, Wow.
Oh yeah, the Randall scandal.
Miles, where can people find you? Is there a working media you've been enjoying?
This sounds like a like a new influencer or kind of like Joy and the Scammer kind of there's like, yo, there's Randall scandal. That's a council late Randall scandal. Find me at Miles of Gray wherever they got at symbols. Find Jack and I on our podcast not sad Boosties, but my noice. Miles and Jack got mad Boosties. It's still mad Boosties. It's not sad boosties because at the contemplative Boosties. Contemplative Boosties because yeah, the Celtics are also in a way as well. So I can go to
sleep with that on my mind. Also, Sophia Alexandra on four to twenty fiance. Right now we're talking about love is blind because I'm catching up since the baby, I've been so behind, but I got to get get I'm getting it all in. I want to be able to talk, got to be able to participate in the discourse because actually.
Yeah, oway, can I also say, and if you want more TV talk for me, please listen to TV, I say on Earwolf wherever.
You listen to pocket, Yes, exactly.
The most they pay me the people to say that to people.
Look, we smoke weed. It's it's easy to not get caught talking about TV. Like every week TV, I say, oh, yeah, that's what I do, right right, that par that's what I do. Uh And then let's see. Uh do I like work of media? I don't think. So what did I see? I saw something recently?
No, no, Miles saw all your tweets and found them lacking.
Yeah, it was not entertained even a little timeline.
Yeah, what can I.
Say at Extra Napkins tweeted a picture of a big, like family sized Eminem MS package and it says it's just like on the side, it has the blue eminem with sunglasses on it with like sticking his finger up in the air like he's vibing out or something, and it says electronic music brings the energy for a summer full of fun. And Extra Napkins tweeted, why is Eminem's saying this to me? That?
Like?
That's that was for thirty years. That was the entire marketing strategy of Pepsi was just to be like, we all like music, right, Music's fucking cool anyways, drink pepsi?
Fuck are you talking about?
Man?
