From Los Angeles moments
0:10
and one and only, famous
0:11
Perez
0:14
Hilton. Everybody
0:18
welcomes to the PHP. That's
0:20
Perez right there. My name is Booker. How do you
0:22
do, sir?
0:23
We are talking Taylor Swift today
0:25
and other things. Don't worry, You're
0:27
not going to skip over the Taylor Swift part.
0:30
Even the haters will want to listen
0:32
to us. But I'm very well
0:34
because we are one step closer
0:37
to TikTok being banned in the United
0:39
States.
0:40
I am thrilled you
0:42
are still on TikTok, you hypocrite.
0:44
He fucking bans me again.
0:46
So your undercover account
0:48
again.
0:49
Now I have a new one for those of you who care
0:51
my latest I'm not just
0:53
I'm doing it now just as an active resistance
0:56
to fuck them. My very
0:58
latest TikTok account is Perez
1:01
Hilton twenty twenty four. So if
1:03
you care, Perez Hilton twenty twenty
1:05
four.
1:06
That sounds like you're running for president. I like it.
1:08
And actually I wasn't even going to talk about this, but
1:10
explain this to me. I just saw
1:12
a lot of people, a lot of influencers,
1:15
upset because TikTok
1:18
has this new community guideline where
1:20
they are banning weight loss
1:22
influencers really, meaning you
1:24
can't talk about weight loss, you can't talk
1:26
about specifically ozembic
1:30
or Munjaro. That now goes against their
1:32
community guidelines.
1:33
Read it's bullshit.
1:34
They're the most censoring app
1:37
out there.
1:38
They suck.
1:39
I hate them and it brings me immense joy
1:41
to see their eminent failure.
1:43
So fuck them. Anyways.
1:45
I had a jam packed weekend in Vegas. I
1:47
went to a media dinner, I host a
1:50
host. I judged a comedy show which
1:52
is actually super fun. It's called shock
1:54
Collar Comedy. You would love this because it's
1:56
kind of like a Howard Stern bit. They
1:58
put dog collars on comedians
2:01
and if they're not funny.
2:02
I shocked them.
2:04
They get wow.
2:05
I'm watching them react.
2:07
To be zapped was almost
2:09
as funny or fun as the comedy itself.
2:12
Did you feel badly doing it?
2:13
No?
2:13
I kind of loved it. You did.
2:16
Wow? I don't know I would feel
2:18
bad.
2:19
Saturday, I went to a lounge opening,
2:21
I went to a pool party Live Beach,
2:24
and then Sunday I met up with an
2:26
eighties pop icon.
2:28
I think we're alone now, Tiffany.
2:31
I know.
2:31
I love Vegas. I did so much in one
2:33
weekend. It makes me so happy. I'm
2:36
in my zone. Finally, I'm in the groove.
2:38
That's awesome.
2:39
How was your weekend? How are you?
2:41
I'm trying to think if I did anything at all. So
2:43
we talked on Friday, Taylor
2:45
Shift. I didn't go out Friday night. I don't believe
2:47
so. No, I haven't done anything. No, I'm all good.
2:50
I just hung out this weekend and cooked and chilled
2:52
all right.
2:53
Well, before we get to Taylor Swift, I said,
2:55
we are talking about other things. So I
2:58
was paying attention. But the
3:00
only thing that came across
3:02
my radar from Coachella Weekend
3:05
two was Lanazel Ray bringing
3:07
out Camilla Aveo.
3:09
Yeah, was there anything else of note?
3:11
There was just more no doubt footage that
3:13
I saw, and outside of that really
3:16
nothing.
3:16
Did they bring out a special guest, No, that's
3:19
lame.
3:20
They brought out Olivia Rodrigo weekend win and nobody
3:23
weekend too.
3:23
Yeah, I don't think anybody came out weekend to
3:25
But I didn't hear of anybody coming out, I mean
3:27
neither.
3:28
I did see video of Kid
3:30
Cuddy jumping off stage
3:32
at Coachella, and oh I saw that breaking
3:34
his foot.
3:35
You looked at this guy and you're like, this guy is not
3:37
coordinated. This is not a Travis
3:39
Scott about to take the jump. This is not
3:42
someone that you know looks
3:44
like they've got some athletic ability. You looked
3:46
at this guy and you're like, he's gonna break his head.
3:48
Or this one video that went viral last
3:51
night of Luke Bryan slipping on
3:53
stage.
3:53
Did you see that?
3:54
No missed that pretty funny. He was
3:56
walking slow, slipped and
3:59
totally fell. Handles it very well.
4:01
All Right, I just need to take a moment
4:03
to say a little prayer of gratitude
4:07
that I am still on the Taylor Swift pr list.
4:12
I got a lovely care package from Team
4:14
Taylor. I'm sure by this point she has absolutely
4:17
nothing to do with it. There's enough
4:19
people on that pr list that she's not signing
4:21
off on it every time. I'm like ninety
4:24
five percent certain it's her lovely publicist,
4:26
Tree Pain, or maybe people
4:28
on her management, or maybe she is that hands
4:31
on. I mean, I still don't know how she finds
4:33
the time to do everything, But she finds
4:36
the time to do everything. She's touring,
4:38
she's recording music, she's rerecording her old
4:40
music, she's directing and coming up with the
4:42
music video, doing it fucking
4:44
all, and I'm very thankful
4:47
for it. And I want to reiterate something,
4:49
okay, because people hear what
4:52
they want to hear. From the very
4:54
beginning. When we discussed
4:56
the new album on our Patreon
4:58
with this like emergency episode, I
5:00
said, straight off the bat, I
5:03
liked it. I never said I disliked
5:05
it. My exact words were, I
5:07
wasn't disappointed, but I was underwhelmed.
5:10
And then I gave specific reasons why.
5:12
And he was pretty fair and balanced
5:14
because our comments
5:16
and if you didn't get the Patreon were kind
5:19
of in step. There wasn't a lot that we disagreed
5:21
on.
5:22
Yeah, I didn't care for the production on
5:24
a lot of the songs agreed. My favorite
5:26
songs were the ones where the production was spicy,
5:29
the ones they were different.
5:31
Well, the non Anthonov songs. When
5:33
I looked into you know who
5:35
did what I do, tend to lean
5:37
towards the ones that Jack didn't do.
5:40
And you know the ones that he did all.
5:42
I don't want to say they all sound the same.
5:44
But they all sound the same. It's the same tone
5:46
and energy and the formula starting
5:48
to become a little played.
5:50
But my biggest note
5:52
was it's thirty one
5:55
songs long. There are
5:57
some great spectacular
6:00
songs on there, and then there are some
6:02
songs that are good.
6:03
That's where we disagree because I don't think there's
6:06
any.
6:06
Spectacular Oh I think so.
6:08
I think there's some spectacular moments in
6:11
songwriting, but when you pair it with
6:13
the production and the fact that they sound like everything
6:15
else. Look, if you want to pick the best twelve
6:17
and put it out, I still don't
6:20
know if I would say this is better than any
6:22
Taylor Swift album she's ever put out.
6:24
I mean I wouldn't say that either.
6:25
Okay, that's all I'm saying. So when
6:27
you're at this point in your career, you need to be
6:30
getting at least better, you know what
6:32
I mean, Like you should go, oh, it's not better
6:34
than reputation, it's not better
6:36
than evermore. It's it's not. And
6:39
so I'm like, where does it land when
6:41
it comes to how good an album is. If
6:43
you're going to really compare her to her earliest,
6:46
earliest works, then okay, maybe, but
6:49
I kind of like those better. I mean, the
6:51
pureness and the joy of being
6:53
young is so captured in that very
6:55
first record, and even on Red It's just
6:58
it's hard to say anything's
7:00
better than those emotions that I feel
7:03
or that I relate to when I listen to it.
7:05
So I'm forced to say
7:07
this is her worst album.
7:08
I know, Oh no, no, no, no, no.
7:10
Then what's her worst album for me?
7:13
And in one album of the year it's this just
7:15
goes to remind everybody art music
7:18
it's all subjective, it's personal
7:20
preference. I prefer this over folklore
7:23
any day of the week.
7:24
Say not me. And I even like love her better.
7:26
Oh I love lover.
7:27
Maybe it's the fact that it's too much. If
7:29
you just want to gave me twelve songs, yeah,
7:32
then maybe I could feel it differently, And
7:34
maybe I'll feel differently in like
7:36
two years, when I have enough time to digest
7:38
that amount of life.
7:39
I do feel differently. Here's how I
7:41
feel.
7:42
Because we spoke Friday morning, and
7:44
I obsessively listened
7:47
to all thirty one songs. I'm as
7:49
like fucking committed. I am committed.
7:51
Yeah, I listened all weekend as well.
7:52
I am not skipping a single song anytime
7:54
it comes on. So Thursday night,
7:57
Friday, Saturday, and all Sunday,
7:59
all of those days, I listen and listen
8:01
and listen. And what happened was the songs
8:03
that I initially instantly liked, I
8:06
fucking loved, and then the songs that I'm
8:08
like, uh, I felt the same exact
8:10
way over. I'm like, eventually I'll start just skipping
8:12
these and just listen to the ones that I love,
8:14
because there are a lot that I love, and
8:16
then there are some that I'm like, Oh, those are good,
8:19
but they're not great.
8:20
I would say that for my ear.
8:22
I like the London going back whatever. That
8:24
London song.
8:25
Is good by London or so Long London.
8:27
Yeah, that's really good. And that
8:29
one down Bad is what
8:31
I I like, Down Bad, very
8:33
good song. I like that that gets in
8:35
you. That's good, So.
8:36
Long London I like. My absolute
8:38
favorites are Florida
8:40
with Florence and the Machine.
8:42
Don't like that at all?
8:43
You don't, Oh, I love it now.
8:44
I hope that warms up on me.
8:45
Thank you, Amy.
8:46
I love Love of My Life, which reminds
8:49
me of white Horse, and I
8:51
like but Daddy, I love him.
8:52
That's good. See, that's more of what I'm talking
8:54
about. Like a universal kind of feel
8:57
of anyone could kind of relate to that song.
9:00
I like those kind of songs. I don't
9:02
like distracks and sitting
9:04
there going well, this is about that guy.
9:06
And I like so many of them. I don't dislike
9:08
any of them. It's weird, you
9:10
know, like even Fortnite. I really like Fortnite,
9:13
but to me, Fortnite was like, it's like a third
9:15
single or a second single.
9:17
That's not a single to me, There's no way that should
9:19
be a single. That's just not a great song.
9:21
Not the lead single to me.
9:22
But just to reiterate what I said a minute ago, music
9:24
is subjective, and it's so upsetting
9:27
to me to see people that if
9:29
you express an opinion about
9:32
Taylor Swift that is I
9:34
don't love it.
9:35
There are those Swifties. If you don't love
9:37
every single fucking thing, oh, I know you're you're
9:40
either dumb or you have bad
9:42
takes.
9:42
These are trumpers. I mean, they're not the same
9:44
people. They're actually opposed politically,
9:47
but they have the same mindset when you're talking
9:49
about a hardcore Swifty. But that's
9:51
not entirely true, Perez, because I mean, if
9:53
you look, we have a message board on our Patreon if
9:55
you don't subscribe to that. But like, I was just
9:58
writing a comment. This girl was saying that
10:00
she went to a party a Taylor Swift
10:02
the Dead Poet Society, whatever fucking listening
10:04
party, and she said they didn't
10:06
even finish it. They were bored. And when
10:09
you go to a party for an album, that
10:12
says to me, you're a Swiftie. And I have
10:14
seen some comments from other, you know,
10:16
quote Swifties that have said things
10:18
like, well, good, I'm glad that a lot of Swifties
10:20
don't like this record because maybe it'll be a
10:23
cheaper ticket. No, And I'm like,
10:25
that boat's fucking sailed, honey. I mean, that's a weird
10:27
r no way. But it's like Rolling
10:29
Stone if you would have watched their social media on
10:31
Friday. I have never seen a publication
10:34
slabber over one person in
10:36
more posts in my entire life. Now
10:39
that prez will just go ahead and say, hey, that's
10:41
good business. You're there to get clicks. Hell,
10:43
I can't disagree with that, but the incessant
10:45
slabbering over something that's just what
10:48
it is is a little much for me. And
10:50
then to take it one step further, you get
10:52
the guy that reviews the album who calls it
10:54
like the greatest fucking album of all time or
10:56
whatever, and then pictures come out of him
10:59
backstage kissing on Taylor
11:01
and hugging one another. You're like, Wow, you're real
11:03
subjective. But you have other publications
11:05
that are like they won't even put the name of their music
11:08
reviewer because they don't want the throngs of Army
11:10
members taking a shit on them.
11:12
I think Rolling Stone called it an instant
11:14
classic, and I would let's sa yeah, I would
11:17
not agree with that assessment. It's
11:19
not one of my top three or top five
11:21
favorite Taylor Swift albums.
11:23
She's released a bunch of albums.
11:24
Yeah, But the thing is it just is what
11:26
it is. Look, she's a reality show.
11:29
She's a reality show without a channel. As
11:31
a matter of fact, not only is she a Kardashian,
11:33
she's talking about the Kardashians and putting
11:35
their name in one of her songs. That's
11:38
what this is. This is someone that's invested
11:40
in the plot lines and the storylines
11:42
of the evil record Company guy and
11:45
Jake gillen holland John Mayer and all
11:47
these other fucking guys that she's left
11:49
on the side of the road in the carnage. You
11:51
know, that's what this is for.
11:53
There's a lot of people that like that, that are so
11:56
invested in that. By the way, it's
11:58
a genius move. But don't sit
12:00
me down and tell me it's great music, because
12:02
musically it's not as great as fucking
12:05
Cruel Summer is.
12:06
A great song.
12:07
Okay, Like we've mentioned
12:09
the millions of the myriads of fucking great
12:11
Taylor Swift songs. None of these songs
12:13
I'm gonna have to put in that pile yet, you
12:16
know, let's say get into me.
12:17
Yeah, two things first, I
12:19
texted Booker this over the weekend, and listening
12:23
every time I went to sit down while
12:25
I was working, just I'm ocds,
12:28
It's like I've got to listen to the entire album.
12:30
So it just felt like a chore.
12:33
It felt like work having to
12:35
get through these thirty one songs
12:37
every time, and that, to me, does
12:39
a disservice to the songs, to
12:41
the music, right, And I
12:44
feel like it was a business decision while she
12:46
released all of that music, and not an
12:48
artistic decision.
12:49
True.
12:49
He pointed this out to me, And this is important
12:51
because We talked about this on the Patriot because
12:54
I didn't think of it
12:56
this way, but you're one hundred percent right.
12:58
He gave a rap on the numbers.
13:00
The more songs, the more streams,
13:03
and that's how music is consumed
13:05
and tabulated for the charts
13:07
now. Plus also like if somebody
13:09
bought the vinyl and.
13:11
They're a hardcore Swifty and there are a lot
13:13
of.
13:14
Them, they're going to buy now this new one with both
13:17
versions, or you know, the double album,
13:19
or.
13:19
Which has weighted much heavier
13:21
than an actual stream. The whole math
13:24
is different. You know, when we were kids, when I
13:26
went out and bought Purple Rain, well that was
13:28
one copy. It didn't matter if I listened to Purple
13:30
Rain four billion, seven thousand
13:32
times, which I did, it didn't count
13:35
that way. Today it does. One Swifty
13:37
could sit there and go, well, I played the fucking
13:39
whole album the entire weekend long, and
13:41
it counts against that number. So it pays
13:43
to have a lot of fans, but it doesn't
13:46
make a chart anywhere near accurate
13:48
anymore. That's just out the fucking window.
13:50
But listen, I really do really
13:53
like the album. It's not one of my favorites. I don't
13:55
think it's bad. And one
13:57
of the reasons why, almost twenty
13:59
years into her career, Taylor Swift
14:02
is not only on top,
14:04
but bigger than ever before is
14:07
Obviously she's incredibly talented, but
14:09
she's also exceptionally
14:11
smart, such a great
14:13
business person. This album
14:16
is what it is, and the next one, I
14:18
know it's going to be full of bops.
14:21
It's not like she's forgotten how to make them sleep.
14:25
And I think she got the note that we are
14:28
over Jack Antonov. Talented
14:30
guy. We appreciate him. They've done
14:32
a ton of collaborating together, but
14:34
we want a Max Martin type and listen,
14:37
it's not going to happen with Max Martin.
14:39
Allegedly, here's the tea. They had a
14:41
falling out.
14:42
Allegedly, the rumor is she
14:44
was unhappy that he wouldn't give her producer
14:46
credit on songs and
14:49
that he was demanding songwriting credit
14:51
on songs that he didn't write, you know shit
14:54
that some big producers do. But
14:56
if it's not him, but just somebody else, some fresh
14:58
blood, something exciting and difference, Yeah.
15:01
Well, and I think the whole you know, relationship
15:03
with Jack and Matty Healy
15:06
as well. I mean, he's pretty deep, isn't
15:08
he on Dirty Hit now as well?
15:09
Like that's Dirty Hit, that's the.
15:11
Record imprint of the nineteen seventy.
15:13
Five Jack ansonov Is.
15:15
It's the same people. I can just tell you that.
15:17
Well, very exciting for those that
15:19
enjoy the new album, and I am one of those
15:21
people. Taylor is going to be adding
15:24
some of the songs, or at least one of the songs
15:26
to the Eras tour. She tweeted
15:29
about practice and actually I think more than one.
15:31
She and a band's member tweeted
15:34
about practicing the new songs.
15:37
So I'm guessing we'll get at least
15:39
two songs, if not more.
15:41
And that's a really good and smart move
15:43
because they've released this on TV
15:46
where you can go and watch the tour, and I have.
15:48
I finally sat down and watched the whole
15:50
thing. I tried to. It was too long, but I
15:52
think it's good because you know, you got people
15:55
like in Indianapolis. They're probably
15:57
feeling ripped off, like we paid three thousand dollars
15:59
for these fucking tickets so we can go see it, you
16:01
know, on Disney Plus for for whatever
16:04
my subscription fee is. Now, they're getting
16:06
something that nobody else has gotten before.
16:08
They're gonna get these songs, so that's a great move.
16:11
I do want to talk a little bit in
16:13
detail about the thank You
16:15
Amy song, which we kind of glossed
16:17
over on the Patreon.
16:18
Yeah, we never did get to that.
16:19
Yeah, I talked about it, but we didn't go into
16:22
detail on it. And it's one
16:24
of my top three songs off the album.
16:26
I don't get it at all.
16:27
I love the production.
16:29
I'm a swift ye from day fucking one, and
16:31
the fact that it makes
16:33
it tickles me for many, many,
16:36
many many like for a fucking
16:38
decade plus of her career, Taylor
16:40
Swift wouldn't even curse on
16:42
a song, and now this song is saying fuck
16:45
you Amy. I just know all my og
16:47
girlies and I when when we're gonna see this in
16:49
concert live, we are gonna scream
16:52
fuck you Amy. It's just
16:54
like I said, this is a song that's
16:56
meant to be done live. It's gonna be a staple
16:58
of her live cat and I just love the production. It's
17:01
kind of got like a little Calypso meets
17:03
country.
17:04
It's like it's just meets pop. I love
17:06
the production. I like the lyrics. I love
17:08
it.
17:09
But she would not curse. She
17:11
wouldn't even drink. Now she talks about cursing. She
17:13
talks about drinking all the time. She called
17:15
herself a functioning alcoholic. She talks
17:18
about drugs so much on this album. She talks
17:20
about sex so much on this album.
17:22
She is a woman.
17:23
The evolution has really been beautiful and fascinating
17:25
to watch.
17:26
Well, you've criticized many artists for doing
17:28
the same thing.
17:29
She's not glamorizing drugs.
17:31
I just think that that's really alienating
17:33
the lower end. I think the young end. She's
17:35
finally punting on going after
17:37
them and chasing them with met Me and
17:40
all those terrible songs.
17:41
There is one thing that
17:43
she gets criticized for a
17:46
lot some of the haters bring
17:48
up, and after digesting
17:51
intensely this new album, I'm like, I could
17:53
really I see that. You know,
17:55
a lot of people say she likes to play the victim
17:58
over and over again, and this album does not help
18:00
that narrative. She paints herself
18:02
as the victim.
18:03
But it's what I said, it's just a reality
18:05
show. It's like, as long as you don't
18:08
ever come out and say this was
18:10
about that person. You can
18:12
get away with it. Some people could even
18:14
say she's bullying some of these people,
18:16
and she'll say, why,
18:18
this is just in my imagination. These
18:20
are characters that I've made up, like in Betty
18:23
or something. I'm colin bullshit.
18:25
I mean, she was so specific about the Matti
18:27
Heally songs, like you know that about Matti Heally.
18:29
Well, that's the thing.
18:30
And you're listening though, and you're listening to this whole
18:32
home, You're like, you know this one. There's like Travis
18:34
Kelcey references, there's references to Joe,
18:37
there's references to Maddie. Like everyone
18:39
is picking out which one is about whom.
18:42
And that's what I dislike. I don't
18:44
fucking care who your song's about. How does
18:46
it make me feel when I listen
18:48
to the vibe of the song. That's my criticism
18:51
and it will continue to be my criticism.
18:53
Yeah, I said that on the Patreon. I'm like, play
18:55
these songs to somebody who has
18:58
no idea about her private life, and.
19:00
Do they hold up A couple of them did?
19:02
Yeah? Yeah.
19:03
The Kim song, though she
19:05
literally spelled out k I
19:07
Am the way she spelled out the title
19:10
Thank You Amy so we know
19:12
it's about Kim.
19:13
And you know, when I.
19:14
Was listening to the to the album on Thursday
19:17
night, tired as fuck because it was two
19:19
hours and two minutes of music, some of
19:21
the lyrics, you know, went over my head. But there's this
19:23
one lyric in that Thank You Amy song
19:26
that I'm just gonna say it. It's giving major
19:28
mean girl vibes and it's a low
19:30
fucking blow.
19:31
You know.
19:32
Last year, I think there was at
19:34
one point Kim and Kanye's
19:36
oldest child, their daughter, Northwest,
19:39
did a silly TikTok video set
19:41
to the music of Taylor Swift, and Kim
19:43
was in the video with her. And there's a lyric
19:46
in this Thank You Amy song about Kim Kardashian,
19:48
you know, fuck you and calling her a bully.
19:51
The lyrics says, and one day your
19:53
kid comes home singing a song
19:56
that only us two is gonna
19:58
know is about you. Keep her
20:00
fucking kid out of it, Taylor.
20:02
And I say that as a huge Taylor fan.
20:04
I love her, I think she's family, but leave her like
20:07
that was gross. That line was gross.
20:09
I think I mentioned it last show. I don't like
20:11
any of this dragging anyone
20:13
else into this, but that's when it
20:15
crosses the line of make
20:17
believe and everything I just said in fairytale
20:20
and it could be anybody too. This is
20:22
very specific and I
20:24
don't like that, but I get that people
20:26
do. But it's back to what I keep saying
20:29
about it being a reality show. That's
20:31
what this is, and it's a
20:33
very good reality show. I'm just
20:35
not a huge fan of reality TV,
20:38
you know. I'm just I'm not, and that's what
20:40
it comes down to. But I'm a huge fan of
20:42
her. I just can't wait till her gets
20:44
back to doing the things that I like that she
20:46
does.
20:47
She even name dropped Charlie Pooth
20:49
in one of the Matty Healy songs, saying that
20:52
they talked about how they both think Charlie
20:54
Pooth should be bigger.
20:56
By the way, we've talked about that on this podcast
20:58
before, how talented it is. He is
21:00
an insanely gifted he is.
21:02
Yeah, Well, how do you think he will view
21:04
that coming from Taylor Swift like it's both
21:06
a compliment and a diss.
21:09
I guess it's a backhanded compliment,
21:11
but I don't think it. I know it's
21:13
not a dis I think it's just a matter of fact.
21:16
When I say it to you, I'm not dissing
21:18
Charlie Pooth. Yeah, your tone sometimes
21:20
has been like, well, he hasn't really had it. He hits, and you're
21:22
right, but it's like hits don't mean
21:24
a lot. Sometimes. I don't know how many hits are
21:26
on this Taylor Swift record. It's
21:29
still a juggernaut. Charlie Pooth
21:31
is just an insanely talented person, and
21:33
I believe that Maddie realizes
21:35
that and Taylor. You know, people who
21:37
know music and know how to make music, they
21:39
can identify other people that know how to
21:41
make music. And I mean, even pull back the lens
21:44
just to the nineteen seventy five. They're not huge in
21:46
America. I mean, they sell out big
21:48
venues, but they're huge with their fan
21:50
base. It's not like you could play chocolate
21:53
to anybody and they'd know it. They just wouldn't,
21:55
so it's all perspective.
21:57
The music video for Fortnite
21:59
was real least, and she totally pandered
22:02
to older people like myself by
22:05
having the cast of Dead Poet
22:07
Society.
22:08
On the music video. And I like
22:10
being pandered too. I liked it.
22:12
I liked this well Kellen had
22:14
said, she goes, I don't think any of our fans have
22:16
any idea who those people are, but I was
22:18
like, you might be right.
22:19
I loved the music video.
22:20
It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
22:23
and like, oh my god, I want both
22:25
Malone to get rid of all his face tattoos.
22:29
He looks so handsome
22:31
without all the face get rid of the face tattoos.
22:34
Please. The whole video just
22:36
made me miss Robin Williams. I mean,
22:39
the most maybe gifted person
22:41
of our generation was Robin Williams.
22:43
So that him and like a Robert
22:46
Downey junior and Meryl Streep and just
22:48
completely special people,
22:51
and seeing that video just made me think
22:53
of him. That he wasn't even in it.
22:54
Very last tailor thing, I promise. Okay,
22:56
my last question, what do
22:59
you think Travis makes of all of this?
23:01
That's a very good question. And you
23:04
know she made a point two
23:07
before everything came out that the
23:09
whole you know, this era is dead,
23:11
We're closing the book on all of this. So
23:14
I think she probably couched everything
23:17
to him with that, like this
23:19
is part of that era, and it's
23:21
part of the creative process, and
23:24
let's be honest. This guy's having the time
23:26
of his fucking life with Taylor Swift. Okay,
23:28
this guy rocking the boat for shit. He's
23:31
like, whatever, honey, whatever you want to do. I'm
23:33
gonna go play Nintendo or fucking Xbox.
23:35
Whatever she says on the fucking album
23:37
about him. You know, she makes him sound like
23:39
a bro on the album.
23:41
Not even that, it's almost like a diss
23:43
It's like right, like they're back in fucking
23:45
high school, Like she makes her feel like a high schooleror like you're
23:47
so sophomoreic you're in fucking high school.
23:50
He's on the football team, she's in the band. I
23:52
mean, that's exactly it's you were fucking
23:54
meant for me or whatever. That song.
23:55
I love that song. That's my favorite Taylor Swift
23:57
song of all time. You belong with Me.
24:00
That's my point about capturing youth.
24:02
That song just captures youth
24:05
and can never be replicated. It's why I didn't
24:07
like the whole albums being rerecorded anyhow. You're
24:09
never gonna replicate that feeling in my heart,
24:11
no way.
24:13
All right, let's move on some good news
24:15
with Scott Dissick. According to reports,
24:17
he is done with his ozembic era
24:20
he realized he went too far and he
24:22
is.
24:23
Over it good.
24:25
They say you gained the weight back once you get off
24:27
of it.
24:27
Well he's They allegedly he's going to work with a nutritionists
24:30
so he doesn't gain the weight back.
24:32
I'm all right, Well, hopefully he gained some back
24:34
because he looks so crazy thin.
24:36
I was literally talking to a friend about ozempic
24:38
last night and I was like, if it
24:41
allowed me to eat all that
24:43
I wanted and not gain weight, I would fucking
24:45
take ozempic. But that's not how it works.
24:48
It just it makes you lose your appetite. I don't
24:50
want if I can lose my appetite. I want a miracle
24:52
drug that will let me eat all I want
24:55
and not gain weight.
24:57
Why does that not exist?
24:59
Yeah, it's coming, baby, yet exactly
25:01
the minute.
25:02
That shit is on the market, I will be all
25:04
over that because I have bucket.
25:05
I still love to eat,
25:08
all right.
25:10
Winona Judd, her daughter
25:13
very Sad, has struggled with substance
25:16
abuse and the law for many years
25:18
now. She was recently arrested
25:21
and charged with multiple
25:23
offenses, including in decent
25:25
exposure, soliciting,
25:27
prostitution, obstruction
25:30
of public officers, and
25:33
she has been sitting
25:36
in the county jail for over
25:38
two weeks because she could not pay
25:41
her bond of twenty five hundred
25:43
dollars. And I've seen a lot
25:45
of people say, wow, that's great, good
25:47
on Winona, tough love. Yeah,
25:50
I'm not one of those people.
25:51
Well, Perez, you've got to let people hit rock
25:54
bod.
25:54
No, no, no, no, here's the thing.
25:55
This is a pattern. This isn't the first time she's
25:58
done it one through ten times. That's
26:00
what you have to call time out.
26:01
She already had a major time out. Winona's
26:03
daughter was arrested in twenty sixteen
26:06
on way more serious charges.
26:08
So now that it's lesser, she should fucking
26:10
write it. Check the letter out.
26:11
No, let me explain.
26:12
She was previously arrested for meth possession
26:15
and meth manufacturing
26:18
and meth selling. Crazy
26:21
and she's still only in her mid twenties. She's
26:23
twenty seven years old.
26:24
Now.
26:25
She had previously served not even time
26:27
in jail, time in prison. I don't
26:29
know the exact time, but I think it was over a year.
26:32
So what I'm getting at is over a year
26:34
in prison did not straighten this young woman
26:36
out. Sitting in the County jail is not going
26:38
to help her. She already spent over a year
26:41
in prison.
26:41
Okay, well she's got to continue
26:44
to rake the bottom and say, do I
26:46
really want to be there? I mean, once again, what
26:48
is she supposed to do? Write a check every
26:50
time that she gets in trouble. This girl,
26:52
you know how the movie's gonna end. Either
26:55
she gets her shit together or the
26:57
fucking grim Reaper will find her. And
26:59
that's when you're a parent, you
27:01
at least know, at least I know where
27:03
my fucking kid is tonight. Not out
27:06
selling drugs, not out making drugs,
27:08
not out hooking, not out doing any of that.
27:10
That fucking kid is in a fucking can
27:12
somewhere. Someone's got an eye on her.
27:15
If I'm a parent, I think I'm relieved.
27:17
Bro.
27:17
I would have bailed her out on.
27:19
The condition, boy, condition
27:22
that she agrees to go to like
27:24
a six month treatment facility.
27:26
Yeah, I mean, actually maybe maybe
27:29
we know what it did offer that And the daughter said no.
27:31
I'm sure the kid's already done treatment. Only
27:33
one person could decide, and it's that
27:35
person. There's no like if sort of I'm
27:38
one hundred percent of the nota side.
27:40
Speaking of family issues
27:42
Happy birthday.
27:44
To Surrey Cruse.
27:46
She turns eighteen or she might
27:48
have just turned eighteen years old, either within
27:50
the last few days or it's coming up. But eighteen
27:53
years old Surrey Cruse, and according
27:55
to reports, her father is still
27:58
not involved in her life life at
28:00
all because of Scientology. He
28:03
chose scientology over
28:05
his.
28:06
Child now according to reports.
28:08
According to scientologists as
28:10
well, he's an awful father.
28:13
Yeah, I said that, Your a shit dad,
28:15
if that's what you're doing, Tom Cruise. Speaking
28:17
of Scientology, according
28:19
to reports, the next season of
28:21
Real Housewives of New York has
28:24
cast Rebecca Minkoff, this
28:26
fashion designer who's also
28:29
a major scientologist. She
28:31
donates millions of dollars to them. I
28:33
would not be watching if I was a watcher, But
28:36
you can do you. I can't support scientology.
28:38
I can't. Sorry. Also, speaking of Real Housewives.
28:41
Of New York, Bethany Frankel announced
28:43
the death of her mother to cancer over
28:45
the weekend, and in true Bethany
28:48
Frankel fashion was
28:51
very, very very honest about
28:53
her relationship with her mother. I don't
28:56
really have an opinion because I don't know exactly
28:58
what went down. She hinted
29:00
at it. It must have been real
29:02
bad. She says, I was an adult
29:05
long before Brin's age, her
29:07
own daughter, experiencing things
29:09
no young child should endure.
29:12
I'm not sure what that is in relation.
29:14
To Yeah, well, I don't know. I think
29:18
parenting today versus parenting
29:20
yesterday is a lot different. It's hard to
29:22
compare the two.
29:23
Yeah, it was just an eye opening.
29:26
The tribute she wrote also
29:28
passed away. Very sad. This
29:30
former American Idol contestant,
29:33
Mandisa just forty seven
29:35
years old.
29:36
She died. We don't have a.
29:37
Cause of death yet, just people speculating
29:40
because she had previously talked about suffering
29:42
depression. And that
29:45
guy who set himself on fire
29:47
outside of the Trump trial, he
29:50
ended up dying.
29:51
Yeah, he caught himself on fire. And
29:53
it wasn't like a little flame on the end
29:56
of his finger. I mean the guy was fully engulfed
29:58
in flames. It was crazy.
30:00
Thank god he died, because you do not want to live
30:02
if you've recovered after that crazy.
30:04
I can't stop thinking about conspiracy theorists
30:07
though, and some sane people do become
30:09
conspiracy theorists. But I would like to think that person
30:11
just suffered from mental illness.
30:13
Yeah, let's go there. Anybody that catches themselves
30:15
on fire is mentally ill.
30:17
Yeah.
30:18
Singer Brian McKnight has
30:20
disowned four of his
30:22
children with different baby
30:24
mamas, who he claims were
30:27
the product of sin.
30:28
Okay, yeah, you're the one who fucking sins?
30:31
Right the fuck?
30:32
Why are the kids being punished for something
30:34
you did?
30:35
I don't know. That seems like there's more to that start.
30:37
Well, he was complaining about how they were
30:40
raised by their mothers, and La
30:42
la la Gypsy Rose Blanchard
30:44
continues her makeover. She
30:47
recently had a nose job. Now
30:49
she got a smile makeover as
30:51
well. You know, she had all of those silver
30:54
that silver in her mouth, Now they're
30:57
natural colored.
30:59
What's filling her fillings?
31:00
Yeah, she just changed out our fillings.
31:02
I don't know if they're fillings.
31:03
Some of them might have just been like fake teeth
31:05
that were silver, you know what I mean?
31:08
Oh yeah, because you know, growing
31:10
up in the eighties, all the fillings were
31:12
like silver. I had to get all mind taken
31:14
out and changed to enamel
31:16
or whatever the fuck they put in there, ceramic,
31:19
whatever, pottery, who fucking knows what
31:21
it is. But yeah, I had to do the same thing
31:23
for.
31:24
All five of you that care.
31:26
Larza Pippen and Michael
31:28
Jordan's son are back together
31:31
yet again. Really yeah, yeah, congrats
31:33
to them. Also, because the Patreon
31:35
supporter asked, Pink is
31:37

31:39
to trademark this name, this
31:42
brand called pt I

31:56
C.
31:57
Yeah, that sounds like a loss for
31:59
pink to I mean, isn't there the clothing brand
32:01
pink? I feel like for quite a few
32:04
years it said pink on a lot of chick sasses.
32:06
That was Victoria's secret.
32:08
Okay, Victoria's secret pink.
32:10
But you're right they did. They did.
32:13
Do you think I forget color on an
32:15
ass? I did not.
32:16
Victoria's secret was very popular.
32:17
It said fucking orange. I to remember that a.
32:19
While before
32:22
we do our last topic, a
32:24
thank you to some new Patreon
32:26

32:40

32:48
Alexandra Whistle,
32:51
Patricia Laura Kimberly
32:54

33:00
Augus Stin, Deborah Dawkin who
33:02

33:04
Pipes who also signed up for the entire
33:06
year, Jamie Whitman, Jules
33:09
Vanessa Garcia, and
33:11
that's everybody.
33:12
By the way, Perez said something like the Taylor
33:15
Swift Show, we didn't even count that as a regular
33:17
show. And that's just pres and I went on and we
33:19
were like, Hey, this is the biggest thing happening,
33:21
Let's go on and talk about it. That's one of the cool
33:23
perks of Patreon. We do that. We
33:26
can do that, all right.
33:27
Finally, Paris Hilton debuted
33:30
for the first time photos of
33:32
her daughter London and
33:34
very strategically did it to.
33:36
Promote this new song that she released.
33:38
I liked that.
33:39
Clever marketing and actually fucking
33:42
Sea put Paris Hilton on a
33:44
song really odd. She doesn't
33:46
sound good, but she doesn't sound bad
33:48
either.
33:49
You know what. And Vampire Weekend Weekend
33:51
one had Paris Hilton on their set, which
33:53
you want to talk about left field
33:56
like Vampire Weekend and Paris Hilton,
33:58
Like, what the fuck? I know?
33:59
I actually told a friend of mine who
34:02
works at a magazine, I don't want to say which one
34:04
is, like, you should put her on the cover and
34:07
really analyze this rebranding
34:09
of Paris Hilton because it's clearly been strategic
34:12
and effective. Yeah, and I'm
34:15
glad. I don't believe, like, listen, in the past,
34:17
she said and did horrible things, racist
34:19
things, homophobic things, and
34:21
that's okay. And I'm a big gay, Okay.
34:24
I believe that you can say
34:26
and do dumb and hurtful things when you're
34:28
young and you should not be punished for
34:30
that for your entire life. Okay,
34:33
So it's okay,
34:36
all right, let's take a call or two.
34:37
Hi. This is Jillian. I'm calling
34:40
from New York. I'm actually listening
34:42
to the latest episode right now,
34:45
and I am like appalled
34:48
at how angry Perez goat when
34:51
a booker basically said,
34:53
Look, I'm an adult and I don't care about
34:55
all that bullshit.
34:56
What is she talking about?
34:58
Taylor Swift?
34:58
Oh? Really?
35:00
The like, let's continue.
35:02
I think she clarifies, let's just here.
35:04
Okay, you act like you know you're
35:07
nine years old and like they're telling
35:09
you that Santa Claus isn't real for
35:11
people who listen to the music because
35:14
they don't want to see all of that
35:16
bullshit. So relax forres.
35:19
I'm sure she'll send you tickets
35:21
the next time she's in Vegas.
35:24
Ye, I love New York.
35:27
A little attitude.
35:30
Well, I think it's because I was talking about
35:32
Remember, I was like, oh, my favorite color is
35:34
fucking red and the number thirteen
35:36
and I'm like, it's just a little juvenile at times,
35:39
and you were kind of saying it wasn't. And I
35:41
think that's what she's talking about. Okay, the codes
35:43
and but people are into it, you know what I mean. Like,
35:45
I don't care, it's just to me,
35:48
it just comes back to songs, and I don't
35:50
know, I'm just a fan of songs and I'm
35:52
hearing a lot of them.
35:54
Hey guys, this is Katie from Chicago.
35:57
I was listening to your Patreon
36:00
on the Taylor Swift album and I
36:02
guess I'm just kind of calling to echo, but wanted
36:04
to say, Perez, awesome, awesome
36:07
point about her working hard on
36:09
the lyrics and not
36:11
paying as much attention to the melodies,
36:13
because the lyrics are amazing, but
36:15
we all know.
36:16
She can write.
36:17
It's great, like you said, a diary, but
36:20
at the end of the day, it all starts to sound the same,
36:22
like she should have put out a poetry
36:24
poem down there and then either like made
36:26
a poem book.
36:27
Ye I just said that.
36:29
You know people would eat that up, make a poem
36:31
book, or release the other songs in
36:33
like six months and pretend it's a brand new era,
36:35
whatever the hell it is. I think thirty one
36:37
songs is way too much, even
36:40
for myself. I really do
36:42
enjoy her and find her interesting, but it's
36:45
way too overwhelming. You have that many songs
36:47
at once, like you guys said, I love
36:49
you guys.
36:50
Well, thank you everybody, Patreon
36:52
dot com, slash Perez
36:54
Hilton, and we'll see some of you
36:56
on Thursday for our show there.
36:58
If not, we.
36:59
Appretiate, respect, love,
37:02
and celebrate all of you.
37:04
Have a wonderful week.
37:06
Take care, everybody. Goodbye,
