Starting point is 00:04:23 with her because she's gotten them into college. Because she teaches Spanish. So she helps a lot. And she loves her native speakers.

And I've been taught that they in this system cannot go to college. So shout out to my mom. And also. shout out senora
Starting point is 00:04:45 ramos yeah fuck yeah see i can't think of any teachers who did anything that big the only thing i can think of is when i was in second grade or sometime in elementary school we were learning about the rainforest and you were supposed to write about you were supposed to write something from the perspective of your favorite rainforest animal so i wrote from the perspective of the sloths hell and my teacher really liked it and so she i it's one of those things i look back on and i was like man that was weird she had me go up and read it out loud to the ladies who worked at the front desk that's so cute though it was just like yeah this is so cute it was really cute but it was also like i don't know if they were just her friends and she was like you guys got to hear this like did you read it did you read it super slow were you like i bet i did i am i bet i did i'm sure i

The sheer mention of appreciating teachers and we completely exploded the opening of the show. I love it. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:05:56 All right. Teachers deserve it. Yeah. Pay them more. And now I'm going to do an AKA that proves that I didn't deserve to win any of those writing programs.

They had no association with slots or the rainforest or a writing contest.
Starting point is 00:08:32 They were just like, hey, why don't you just get this one off in front of them? Just fire it off. You know, I wonder if there's a piece of the puzzle I'm missing that I just didn't understand at the time. But as far as my memory tells me, it was just she liked it. And so she sent me up there to read it out loud. Right. That was what we had before social media.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah. And like videos of adorable kids. You just had to drag an adorable kid around and have them read their cute thing in front of people. That's true. Like a traveling roadshow. Yeah. I did have a teacher.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I guess I don't know if the teacher made me submit or like suggested that i submitted but i did enter a writing contest where for those books american diaries that were kind of like american girl but like knockoff oh the janky yeah okay and i did get honorable mention for that uh which meant we got to go to the local pizza restaurant oh shit these are okay i didn't i was like what the fuck are you talking about but i remember the cover of these books now yeah yeah yeah yeah okay yeah yep and i still have my one that the author signed and she wrote keep writing and i did wow wow look at all the way to the top i hope she'd be proud dewey are these like are they wildly problematic because when i look at it and i'm like the tale

This black girl. I'm like, what is this tale about? Are they always just kind of like, did they ever tackle real issues? Or were they just kind of like, yeah, it was a... Horatio Alger up by the bootstraps. I'll be honest, I don't remember. This purple one is the one that I had.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Agnes May Gleason. There she is. That's the one I think I have that's signed. Agnes May Gleason just looks like she's from the 1990s. She looks kind of Lana Del Rey-esque. looks like she's from the 1990s she looks kind of lana del rey ass yeah she's not they they didn't do much they just took a yearbook photo and put it like they photoshopped a prairie behind her yeah oh man i was a i was a big hardy's boy hard Hardee Boys fan.
Starting point is 00:10:46 The books. I thought you were saying Hardee's, the restaurant. I was a big Hardee's Boy. I did live in Hardee's country. I had that instead of Carl's Jr. Hardee Boys books. I realized at a certain point I didn't like them. I just enjoyed
Starting point is 00:11:01 the ritual or having all the Hardee boy books but like oh yeah so boring and like uncool they're like the thing about the hardy boys is like they really like their dad who's a cop oh really and they're just like amateur cops i'm pretty sure that was what happened read read like hundreds of those fuckers wow propaganda from yeah hardy boys and look and you ended up all right so that's good your your mind held strong despite the hold my those what my brain was doing the whole time it was more about your love of collecting it sounds like yeah that's right yeah that's how i was too yeah i wanted i wanted my goosebumps to
Starting point is 00:11:44 i wanted fucking all of them, but my mom was like, if you don't read them, I won't even fucking enter. Like, you can get that shit at the library and then put it on your bookshelf for a little bit. So, truth be told, I only had about, like, eight of them because those are the only ones I liked reading. Like, half the time I read them, I'm like, man, this one fucking sucks.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Just, like, give up on it. But, anyway. Did you guys read the Redwall books? Speaking of Richard Scarry. No. There were these little fantasy books starring mice and rodents. Oh. Oh, see, I know the cover.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Yeah, this is the thing. I remember these covers. I can picture a lot of these books because my high school job was working at the library. So when you say it, I can picture the covers, but I don't think I ever read them as a kid. Oh, the Mouse Knights. That's how I always thought of it when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I was like, oh, these Mouse Knight motherfuckers. You all would have heard of it and read it if it had been called Mouse Knights, but instead they called it Red Wall. That's so funny, too. Distracting. They're bearing the lead. If they called it Knife Mouse called red wall yeah that's so funny too yeah as a kid distracting from they're bearing the lead you know yeah yeah if they called it like knife mouse i'd be like let's fucking go excuse me mom i will purchase this one because there's one called salamandastron character we'll steal the car and go to the local bookstore why not yeah all right page we're gonna
Starting point is 00:13:07 get to know you a little bit better in a moment first a couple of things we're talking about we're gonna talk about two ceremonies on either side of the pond we're gonna talk about uh king charles big coronation coming up on saturday you can participate and yes now you can participate you can get in on the action i still remember when we first heard that like his coronation was going to be held you know eight months hence or something and they were like and he's really trying to make it like tasteful and democratic and taking cost of living into account and i was like how the fuck are they gonna do that and what ridiculous way are they gonna fuck it up we have our answer so we're gonna talk about that we're gonna talk about how take a master fucking up his coronation
Starting point is 00:13:58 we're gonna talk about this the theme of this year's met gala, Karl Lagerfeld, baby. Oh, boy. I guess the Met Gala was last night, for those listening. We did not watch. We're in the past, so we don't know what. All the amazing styles that were worn. So, yeah. There will be no spoilers here because we don't yeah mostly talk about like i thought right right right when he passed away everyone's like yeah this guy was a giant
Starting point is 00:14:30 this guy's a real piece of shit right and they're like let's honor him yeah we'll talk about that and also uh adidas because they're being sued for having had some sense that Kanye was in a bad place and just didn't do shit about it. Kind of weird. Had a lot of lead time to come to Akakusha. Kind of weird because they were created by Nazis. Let them cook a little more. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Anyways, all of that. It's hard to quit it sometimes. Plenty more. But first, Paige, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Okay, I thought this would be a good follow-up because i think the last time i was on it was the day before the taylor swift eras tour tickets went on sale oh that's right you were didn't you have like you were saying like i got windows open i'm fucking ready well i was so naive then. Talk about recording something in the past. Just to give people a visual, this is a little bit like talking to Matthew McConaughey in the future interview part of True Detective.
Starting point is 00:15:37 You are smoking, chain smoking, and drinking Budweiser out of a can. Just Bud Heavy out of a can just bud heavy out of a can yeah what i'll say though is just spoiler alert i did get tickets okay but i did not get them during the sale absolutely not it was insane i got them on reddit.com okay i followed a thread in the Taylor Swift subreddit where people were selling their tickets for face value. And I followed up repeatedly with the girl who had two tickets. And eventually, I got them. I wasn't scammed. She was nice.
Starting point is 00:16:20 So I have tickets. And I can't wait. She was nice. So I have tickets and I can't wait. And honestly, the thing now is that I am waiting as LA is the last stop on the tour. So I'm, you know, watching as it's happening all over as the tour has begun. And it occurred to me literally yesterday. I was like talking to my friend who I'm going with, Katie. And I was like thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I was like, oh, shit. Where are we going to park at sofi stadium and i googled sofi stadium parking and i'm really proud of myself for going into it early because it's like still pretty reasonably priced and i have my parking spot three months in advance so i googled sofi Stadium parking. So your last search history, months ago, maybe this was back in November, maybe six months ago, was best seat SoFi Stadium. Yeah. Now we're on SoFi Stadium. I like that.
Starting point is 00:17:18 What percent of your searches do surround Taylor Swift? SoFi Stadium, I was going to say. Is it all SoFi Stadium? Best place to get a soft pretzel. surround like surround taylor swift uh so if i was gonna say is it also if i stayed here best place to get a soft pretzel i do feel like we're getting a you know a skewed sample because we're we've you know this happens yeah we're just hitting you like right on the next time i'm on i'll have to be after the after the show if i'm not just like a pile of dust on the ground you know if i can really get it together to recount my experience well yeah don't turn to a pile of dust or else i'll be forced to be like okay i'm gonna try to be talk to me honey why i'm looking forward to it for so
Starting point is 00:17:57 many months so i'm gonna try to uh i just played a sorry i played a weird sound drop where someone was saying page talk to me honey why i did get distracted because i thought i heard something and then i was like i didn't hear anything let me just keep talking um yeah sorry i love that sound drop yeah i think look i'm really i'm the biggest thing that i'm sort of like my ears perked up was like people are selling them at face value are they on reddit on the taylor's is that just like because they want to be honorable because it's like actual fans who just had extra tickets as opposed to people who bought them to to resell them yeah yeah wow i wish sneaker heads did that shit like hey man i got a pair of these new ones man gotta be honest for the real fans yeah i mean it was it's not like it's a lot of people or anything, but I just...
Starting point is 00:18:47 Sure, sure, sure. You know, I got lucky. What is something that you think is overrated? Okay. I feel like I agree with you guys. We were talking before we started recording about how it's raining and we're tired of it. But I do think something that's overrated is summertime. I'm not looking forward. We've already had a few days where it's getting a little warm and i just think summer i think
Starting point is 00:19:12 i think we think we like summer because it's when we were off from school okay but we're adults now and we don't have summer break okay unless we're teachers which thank them so much you know national teacher day yeah but summer sucks i hate i hate it um i much rather wouldn't i i i think obviously like anyone we like spring we like fall we like when it's mild but it's so much easier to just like put on a jacket than it is to like try to not have to have your AC running all day. Like it's just I hate the summer. I get it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It's funny. Like when you say how it's tied to like childhood, right? Because that was the time you felt the most you were untethered by school you could fucking you know drink from the hose and be outside all day and do all that shit would you fuck with summer if like there was a i think it's weird because i i i really like the winter now because like everything does stop like the industry does recognize like hey man for at least these two weeks when like we're not gonna do shit right and so because of that i'm like oh i like this holiday now maybe more like more so than summer and i wonder if i just if there was a way we could
Starting point is 00:20:33 always be like hey man we gotta we gotta have that one or two weeks or just like it's summer baby right well and also i think like we i can't help but think i have a bit of a skewed view because i live in southern california obviously winter is not that bad right but i just like i feel like i the reason i was thinking about this is i was like i really gotta take a moment to appreciate while it's spring right now because in a few weeks and into you know late into summer going to be miserable. And I feel like I'm always like, at first it's so nice. Oh, it's warm again. Oh, the winter's been so long.
Starting point is 00:21:11 No. I don't like it. My legs are sticking to everything. It's miserable to be hot. I was going to say the last time I was in a place that had seasons was New York City. And I was trying to think back on my memories.
Starting point is 00:21:28 All my good memories are from the summer for some reason. I don't know. There are good things about summer. I love a good barbecue. I love things like this. You appreciate it in a cold climate when the sun comes out. We're fucked over here. It's sunny most of the time anyway, so we're like, I don't know what the fuck, more sun?
Starting point is 00:21:47 And then people are like, what's wrong with you Californians? I'm like, we're fucking used to one note. Sorry. We're fucking sick. Last summer was so bad. Like, it was brutal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I really like your first point that like, I wonder how much of that was that was at a time when i was just out of school
Starting point is 00:22:06 and probably still had like some muscle memory or just you know like my body like all my life i had learned to just like summer now is time to be free and so i just like go out and drink like i didn't have work the next day. Right. Like just stay out until five in the morning. But yeah, like I. More of these things in spring. More of these things, you know, right now. Have a barbecue this weekend.
Starting point is 00:22:36 You know what I mean? Like why wait till it's miserable. And then hibernate for the summer. Just stay in your air conditioned cave and then emerge for fall. Well, that's the crazy thing is I can't even remember doing anything in the winter in New York. I think I must have just mentally, spiritually... Oh, I love New York. Oh, man. Did you skate?
Starting point is 00:22:58 Late fall, winter. Did you go to an ice skating rink or anything like that? No. No, no. Nothing like that. I walked by the Rock Center skating rink and then I was like, man, that ain't real ice. I'm like, I can't get down on that shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And I kept moving. They made that ice. I don't care. It has to be. Look, I'm like, from playing hockey for so much of my life, I have to skate in a proper rink. If they're not hitting that thing with a Zamboni, let's keep it moving. Okay. Dodger Stadium has a weird skate rink,
Starting point is 00:23:26 and that thing is criminal. They did? It's like ankle turn city. Yeah, they were doing a winter festival and shit at Dodger Stadium the last couple of years. Miles likes to go to skating rinks, scoff and say, you call that a skating rink,
Starting point is 00:23:41 and then leave. And I'm like, you know what? Give me a pair of size 12 and a half hockey skates real quick, pal. And then I start going backwards around these motherfuckers. And they're like, what the fuck? Way too aggressive. It's just like family. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:55 And you're like ruining it. My partner, Her Majesty, the first time we went somewhere ice skating, I was like, yo, do you mind if I just kind of spread my wings a little bit? I haven't been on the ice in a minute she's like sure go ahead and the way my dumb ass was flying around the rink like cart like cutting through like kids and shit like one of the people was like hey man you really need to slow down like i get that you know how to skate but like you don't need to be like hopping over three-year-olds and shit like this is like yeah this is a hazard yeah yeah yeah like it's a skating film or something. Adult skate!
Starting point is 00:24:25 Adult skate! Adult skate! It's hard to resist. I get it. If I had that skill, I'd be the same way. Yeah. Yeah. Insufferable.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I mean, I'm generally insufferable when I find something like, oh, shit, here's a niche skill I have. Now I will just bore you to death with it. It's like when you're going to the bounce house at a kid's birthday party and everyone's like, wait, no, adults aren't supposed to be in there. And you're like going the bounce house at a kid's birthday party and everyone's like wait no adults aren't supposed to be in there and you're like yeah yeah sure sure well then why do you why is it so big then yeah oh then how come i can do this back flip oh my god are you okay you just fan kicked that kid in the head like guile from street fighter what is something you think is underrated, Paige?
Starting point is 00:25:06 I feel like I, and maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like nobody has been talking about Next in Fashion on Netflix. I really liked that show. Oh, is that the one Tim Gunn is on? No, this is with Tan France. Oh! Yeah, it's the second season came It came out a couple months ago. And it's with Gigi Hadid.
Starting point is 00:25:29 He had a different co-host the first season. And it got canceled at first, but then I guess they brought it back. And I just... I always liked Project Runway, of course, back in the day. I haven't watched it in forever. But I really liked Sex and Fashion.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I just thought all the designers were really interesting. And it was just really fun to watch. and I don't want to spoil it, but like the person who won, I was like, this guy is incredible. This is exactly who I thought should win. You know, I love,
Starting point is 00:25:57 yeah, I liked, I used to watch project runway, like in the early Bravo days a lot for sure. And then I actually did start, I watched the hype on netflix which is like the streetwear version of it where like they find all these streetwear designers and like they they all like have a challenge it's like the same structure except it's streetwear
Starting point is 00:26:15 um so maybe i will take a dip into next in fashion how i mean i just i really thought it was fun and i i like i had watched all of them except for the last one. And then I was visiting a friend. And he was like, do you want to watch something? And I was like, would you watch the last episode of Text in Fashion with me? I know you haven't seen it. And he was enthralled. And I think that that speaks to how fun it is.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah. Okay. I'm in. I really liked it. what does it have over project runway i feel like that's the one that i'm most familiar with and that i've watched like half oh that new one that new version with tim gunn is on amazon i guess i can't say what it has over current day project runway because i haven't watched it in years but i just think i i don't know i feel like i was interested in all of the designers
Starting point is 00:27:07 from the beginning like i liked all of them and i thought the taste yeah and i thought the um the challenges were really interesting and they do like they do some menswear and womenswear and they just have like more interesting models and different like body types and ages and stuff too. And just the challenges are kind of more interesting, I guess. Like they had one challenge where they had to make stuff out of plants. Like they had to make clothes out of... Okay, real? Yeah, they just do cool stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And I do like Tan France and Gigi Hadid. I think they have a fun chemistry as hosts. And I always love remembering that gg hadid has like a skater dude voice it's very socal yeah she's like such a beautiful woman and then she's like like I just it has a good vibe I'm in for that I'm in for that is Gigi Hadid
Starting point is 00:28:10 the Hadid sister with the Coca-Cola commercial during the playoffs I mean like I keep bringing all these commercial questions and yeah it is Gigi Hadid yeah and I don't know I'm not buying the authenticity of her friend group just hanging
Starting point is 00:28:26 out and having a coca-cola and making homemade oh yes i agree now i can picture it yeah they're not yeah they're not fucking with that kind of coke yeah yeah for sure it's like just replace the coca-cola with cocaine and you might have a indication get another bump of Coca-Cola. Hey, key me up another sip of Coca-Cola. Sorry, are there cameras? Coca-Cola. Yeah, I liked imagining too, because she has like a pretty young child. And I was like imagining in the commercial,
Starting point is 00:29:00 in the world of the commercial, she got like a babysitter so she could have all of her friends over to drink Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola and do some handmade pastas. Hell yeah. Yeah, that sounds right. Like us normal people.
Starting point is 00:29:13 All right. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about other normal people like your king, my King Charles. Chuck A. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
Starting point is 00:29:52 And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

Starting point is 00:30:47 BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.
Starting point is 00:31:00 That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller

When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha libre is known globally
Starting point is 00:31:41 because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Santos! Santos!

We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:32:28 or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. Yes. And it's almost that time. It is. Last night was that time for the American Coronation, the Met Gala. We'll talk about that
Starting point is 00:32:45 in a moment but for for the uk it's nearly time for the real the once in a generation once every fucking century at this point coronation king charles long with the king chuck three or chuck Chuck Sri. Or Chuck aye-yai-yai, as I say, if you read the right. Aye-yai-yai. Poppy. Hey, shout out Poppy King fucking El Rey. Charles aye-yai-yai. Okay, my guy. But he's also today's winning entrant into the how far off base can I be when reading the general tone of society sweepstakes. Now, this is, of course, we just need to reiterate being recorded before the Met Gala. So there might be some really like strong competition in that
Starting point is 00:33:30 category. Could be some terribly off base. We might have another winner for how far off base can I be when reading the general tone of society award winner? We don't know. But in this instance, this week's winner is King Charles. So the coronation is happening on Saturday. And I guess like in the past, when some inbred person's turn comes up to sit on the throne and wear the crown, there's a moment during the ceremony where all of the high born, I don't know if that's the word they use. I just know that from Game of Thrones, like other like nobles that are there, like in the fucking building for it. They usually like bend the knee and shit and lick the royal loafers. And it's like a whole thing like, and I vow my allegiance to you and your children and all that shit.
Starting point is 00:34:07 So it's called the homage of peers, apparently. And it's being scrapped for something a little more, you know, of the times right now. about equality and inclusivity these days, I think Chuck must have had the thought that so many normies were just dying to maybe participate in this oath as well because it was really just reserved for nobles, the nobility. And so Saturday is their chance
Starting point is 00:34:35 because there will no longer be an homage of peers since it is being replaced with the homage of the people. Yes. And that sounds really cool, right? What does that mean? Power to those people. What does that mean? Power to those people. What does that mean? Well, basically,
Starting point is 00:34:47 there's going to be a point in the ceremony where the Archbishop of Canterbury is going to invite all the hobos watching at home to pledge their allegiance to the new sovereign. Okay?
Starting point is 00:34:58 This is what he would say. This is the fucking oath that the Archbishop of Canterbury is going to be like, hey, y'all want to pitch in? Just read the text on the bottom of the screen. There's going to be like a text crawl, I guess. It's like a little bouncing scepter
Starting point is 00:35:10 that goes on with it so you can follow along. For sure. It says, I swear that I will pay true allegiance to your majesty and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Yo. This is how they chose to democratize it? This is so crazy. Every time I end up actually talking about the royal family in any capacity, I'm shocked by how much I don't understand or know about it. I'm like, I thought I didn't know anything about it, and then it's always like, actually, even less.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Like, what? Homage of the people. Homage of the people. It's like so many, like, four levels removed from any coherent version of reality that makes any sense to me.
Starting point is 00:36:04 A lot of people were like this sounds like some like autocrat like authoritarian shit like that you want the people at home be like and i pled my pledge my allegiance to you your blood homie and all your sperms all your sperms are my god like yeah they could like cut the palm of their hand and press it up to the yeah scan this qr code on screen now for instructions on how to spill your blood for cut the palm of their hand and press it up to the TV. Yeah. Yes. Scan this QR code on screen now for instructions on how to spill your blood for this oath. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:36:30 this is like a real, this was a real conversation as they're planning the coronation. They were like, there's a real cost of living problem in England. How are we going to like do this thing that is the logic like doing a coronation that is not a celebration of inequality is like is a logical impossibility like that's a the coronation is a guy riding on like in a golden carriage through the streets while people are not allowed to make eye contact with them.
Starting point is 00:37:08 There's no version of that. And they're like, no, we got it. We actually have the answer. Yeah. I mean, because on top of it all, what's the crown he's going to wear? Isn't that the most gaudy fucking thing? 400 gemstones. Including rubies. Made of solid gold garnets and sapphires
Starting point is 00:37:30 there's one of those i don't even i don't even know what the fuck a garnet is or is that gamut garnet like green or brown or something i'm just chill the only garnet we recognize is kevin yeah but so i think the thing is that why you said green or brown i think i've looked this up before i don't know why uh closely related minerals that form uh gemstones gen they're like gemstones but like in every color red garnets have a long history whatever who gives a shit anyway it's gonna be on his gold burger king hat that he wears when he sits on the throne and then all the poor people get to do like boot liquor karaoke on tv so i think look i'm no expert on english culture but i definitely i definitely know that this isn't something that the masses have been clamoring for especially when you
Starting point is 00:38:19 consider how like few people even care about the monarchy or how shit Charles is or like just how shit he is compared to like his mom at least when it comes to like just generally being like liked regardless of what they represent they're like they're like man you're not gonna come close to Elizabeth so just just fucking just fall to the back but again in the announcement for it the royal family it sounds like they're patting themselves on the back for this. They said this is in their announcement about the homage of the people. A new and significant moment in the tradition of the coronation. Never before in our history have the general public been offered an opportunity to join with national figures in declaring their allegiance to a new sovereign. A true moment we'll all remember.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Yeah, man of the people. Like, Good Morning Britain, or one of their morning news shows, they just did an informal poll on Twitter, like, how many of y'all are doing this? 85% said, fuck no. Yeah. So, whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:20 You know, do what you gotta do. The other people were like, wait, what is that? Huh? Homage to the people? Yeah, you all say you're not gonna do it but when you get the opportunity to kneel before your television you're gonna say and you'll with tears down your eyes streaming down your face i swear that i will pay true allegiance to your majesty and to your heirs and successors according to the law so help me Okay? Do you have to put your hand over your heart? I'm curious. No, that's America, man.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Oh, okay. Hey, come on, man. That's America, man. That's our thing. Hey, and to the Republic for which it stands. Thank you. All right? But I just wonder if this is because all these out-of-touch wealthy people hang out.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Charles saw this as how Elon made it so any asshole could get a blue checkmark. Right. out like charles saw this as like how elon made it so any asshole could get a blue check mark right like he's like you know it'd be cool if we open it up to all all my sycophants and then like maybe that'll be a good way to kind of like help people feel involved or something yeah but right now like when asked for a comment it seems like the only thing that's come back is like a clarification where the royal families are like you guys it wasn't like i was like that serious about it was like expecting people to do it. They're more like, it's just merely an invitation. There's no expectation to participate. It's just, if you want to, you can.
Starting point is 00:40:33 It's just there if you just want. That's so embarrassing. If you want, it's there. That's all. It's not a big deal. Hey, we're just going to leave this here. You kids do whatever you want. Do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I don't know. Maybe you should do your allegiance to the sovereign. It's got one of the greatest stories ever told in it. According to law. Check it out if you want. If not, you know. Up to you. Up to you.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Up to you. Up to your call. Did they still do Pledge of Allegiance in schools? That just occurred to me. I don't think so. I don't think they do at my kids' school. But they definitely do at the beginning of the Cubs. I mean, I remember we think they do at my kid's school. But they definitely do. I mean, I remember we were doing it in high school.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Yeah, in high school, I didn't stand up during it. I would just sit down. Oh, hell yeah. Damn. I was like, I'm not required to do this. They would have kicked me out of school if I did that shit, I think. We had to say that our father when I was in Catholic school oh yeah I went to Catholic
Starting point is 00:41:27 yeah man the way I mumbled through like Hail Mary's and shit the only Hail Mary I knew was by Tupac and I was like yeah I mean I was in a public school I think they were like yeah we don't really we're not gonna we're not there yet give us another 20 years and yeah
Starting point is 00:41:43 in my elementary school we had to salute the Christian flag. I didn't know Christians had a flag. It's like, I pledge allegiance, I forget what it was, to the Christian flag and to the Savior for whose kingdom it stands. Wait, what? Yes. That sounds like they weirded out. Yeah. That sounds like they were just like, oh yeah, America?
Starting point is 00:42:04 Sounds like a real kingdom it stands like uh christian flag pledge oh yeah yeah yeah yeah it's hold on right here it is this is a to the savior whose kingdom it stands oh well this is this is one version one brotherhood uniting all christians in service and in love damn it was something was a Catholic school? No, this was at a Lutheran school I went to. Oh, okay. Yeah. I was going to say, Catholics can't get away with that shit.
Starting point is 00:42:31 No, no, no, no, no. They were too busy being like, you're going to go to hell, bitch. And I was like, oh my God, please. But also everyone was like convinced that papists were going to take over the country in the early 20th century. Oh, nothing to do with immigration demographics, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Nope. No, nothing. Nothing to do with that. Well, speaking of both King Charles and Taylor Swift, Ticketmaster, the royals put Ticketmaster in charge of distributing tickets to his coronation. Distributing tickets to his coronation, which I just always assumed that that was just a thing where like they were glad if people showed up and everyone just kind of made their way into the streets. But no, you have to get tickets. Does it cost money? Oh, yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:43:18 But I think so. I don't know. They also like pay. We're all like, I don't know. I literally I'm no less than zero. They pay for all of this with taxes. Like, this is state sponsorship. Wait, so Lionel Richie's fucking talent fee is coming
Starting point is 00:43:34 out of the taxes? Yes. Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli. Wow. And you know Katy Perry doesn't go small on these things. No no she's gonna come out on a giant fucking mechanical lion or some shit yes which honestly i'd love to see it i yeah that would be i'm in appropriate so you know when it got down to people who were not like part of the
Starting point is 00:44:00 inbred aristocracy there were 20 20,000 spots left up for grabs to be distributed based on the geographical spread of the UK population, not on a first-come, first-served basis. So just really trying to make it egalitarian in some way, just a misguided attempt to be a man of the people by the least of the people man of all time and then fans got so some fans got an email congratulating them for winning
Starting point is 00:44:34 the opportunity to grab tickets but if you didn't if you thought that that meant you had the tickets you were wrong ticket master would basically tell you you were out of luck because this was the second round of tickets and they weren't guaranteed. So the congratulations was just like, congratulations, you now have the opportunity to buy these tickets if you act fast. So the concert happens on the second day of the coronation celebrations so there's the
Starting point is 00:45:09 thing where you'll sell it you can scream at your tv and you know pledge your fealty to his sperm i would die for you sir that's all i'm gonna be screaming salute with fucking tears I actually wrote my own. I felt it didn't go far enough. It didn't encapsulate my true allegiance to you, your highness. But yeah, so then this, like,
Starting point is 00:45:35 then there's this concert that has everybody out there, you know, turning up on the East lawn of Windsor castle. Oh yeah. First time it's been held in the grounds. See, that's cool. That's probably how they're like, see,
Starting point is 00:45:44 and we're going to let dirty fucking people from charities onto the premises for a concert. Gross. Not my monarchy. I'm still really stuck on Katy Perry performing at this. Dude, there's a ton. How did they choose? Who?
Starting point is 00:46:00 Hold on. So we actually covered this. We should say that we covered the fact that this is by no means the A team. This is who would agree to do this at a time when everybody generally agrees that the Royals
Starting point is 00:46:15 are a bad institution. Elton John, Dua Lipa, what's the red-headed guy's name? Ed Sheeran. They all turned it down. Adele, Harry Styles, the Spice Girls, they all said,
Starting point is 00:46:31 fuck out of here. The Spice Girls said no. The Spice Girls. Yep. People of the world, spice up your life. I know. And that leaves us with Katy Perry, Lionel Rich. Motherfucking.
Starting point is 00:46:47 They said, oh, rumored to travel Bette Midler from the U.S. Bringing her stinking ass over from the U.S. I mean, all of these people are U.S. performers. Like, that's the thing. I guess. Orlando Bloom is Australian? Or British? He seems British to me.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yo, you know what's wild? Steve Winwood, rock guitarist Steve Winwood, and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. Aren't these all American? Whoa, that takes it back. The Pussycat Dolls? Whoa. Yeah. I don't think Nicole Scherzinger is English.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Steve Winwood? Okay, okay yeah we get it you know orlando bloom is british but becca says okay thank you so much i so katie perry gets it by relation she's like yeah so orlando was like go for it babe i understand the significance of this and that's why i'm riding a giant mechanical lion onto the east lawn of Windsor. That's I'm going to sing. I kissed a girl and I liked it for his coronation ceremony. I kissed the ring and I liked it. Yeah. That's good.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Oh, shit. All right. Well, shit. This is going to be something I won't pay any attention to probably. Although I don't know. Who knows? When there is the royal wedding, I think we did pay attention. Yeah, I think
Starting point is 00:48:08 I paid attention to that. The last one, but that was because it was an American who's getting married into the royal family. I was expecting some King Ralph hijinks. Oh, yeah, yeah. Of course. And also we were up at three in the morning because we had a newborn. So you can
Starting point is 00:48:24 look forward to that miles you will be watching this whether you like it or not actually the only thing on tv you know what actually the geist child has been sleeping through the night so wow i'm counting my motherfucking six days in a row on the fucking sand okay but yeah i'm i'm ready for any regressions but that part of my life is behind me for only maybe six more seconds, and then I'll be right back with bags under my eyes. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about America's disgusting display of privilege, the Met Gala. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
Starting point is 00:49:25 President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current.

I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
Starting point is 00:50:15 One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?
Starting point is 00:50:30 I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is la plática like you've never heard it before. I felt from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you.
Starting point is 00:51:45 We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. you get your podcast and we're back and yeah we it's our time it's it's time for the u.s to do their metropolitan galaga i don't know the full word gala is probably the full word. The gala. It's that time. Celebrities wear outfits for a lavish party. Yes, there it is. The Metropolitan Galavanting has begun. Somebody needs to go and scream that at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:52:38 The opening ceremony. Oh, like a crier comes out? Yeah. The Galavanting shall commence. The Metropolitan Galavanting. like a crier comes out yeah the gallivanting shall commence the metropolitan gallivanting the theme of this year's event is which is always my favorite thing is like you know they give feels like a random theme is chosen like wasn't one of them like the papists it wasn't one of them yeah one was yeah because i remember when like rih remember when Rihanna pulled up, and I remember we called that episode Pontiflex.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Yeah. Because she was stunting on him with her religious garb. But this year they just did one that was just a designer who just died, Karl Lagerfeld. Yeah. I recognize when I see a picture of him because he has that collar that looks like a neck brace. It's so big. Yeah. And he's got slicked back hair,
Starting point is 00:53:32 which that's how you know he's a piece of shit, with a ponytail. Slicked back, white hair, ponytail. And fingerless leather gloves. I always walked fingerless leather gloves, too. You're like, this dude, he looks like a fucking villain. He is some of the strongest collars and cuffs in the dress shirt game. That was the only thing that I took away from him.
Starting point is 00:53:55 But he also seemed like just like a mean guy. What even like at his peak when he was famous and then when he died, everyone was like, oh my God, this guy was a piece of shit. He was so problematic. So let's see. Where should we start? Didn't he claim it was like a character he was doing or something? Sure.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Yeah. I'm sure he did. Let's go with that. During the Me Too movement, he said, if you don't want your pants pulled about, don't become a model. Join a nunnery. There will always be a place for you in the convent.
Starting point is 00:54:30 The only two options. Exactly. Wow. Your pants pulled about. Yeah. And then you follow that up with, like, when the Me Too things were happening. And he's, like, just trying to throw water on it because he was, quote, fed up with all the Me Too nonsense. He said, quote, what shocks me most in all of this are the starlets who have taken 20 years to remember what happened.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Not to mention the fact that there are no prosecution witnesses. Oh, boy. Carl. OK, Carl. What else? So it probably ends there, right? Surely he didn't weigh in on the Holocaust. What?
Starting point is 00:55:03 No, no, no. He said of Germany's decision to open their borders to refugees, one cannot, even if there are decades between them, kill millions of Jews so you can bring millions of their worst enemies in their place. necessarily but he did follow that up by saying uh that a friend of his who took in a syrian refugee told him that the greatest thing germany invented was the holocaust but it was his friend who he made up who said that not him so why even mention that unless you think that's a point you're trying to like that's a take you need to get out there oh because he's a point you're trying to get? Like, that's a take you need to get out there. Oh, because he's a monster. It's like refugee even said. Like, what is he trying to say? Is that him being like, yeah. It's very unclear. Seems like he thinks what he's trying to say is important.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Yeah. But I'm pretty sure it seems like he doesn't think the Holocaust was that bad. Sounds like he's like, I don't know. This guy says it's pretty cool. Yeah. So what do we say to that person then? Huh? Okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Organizers are defending the theme because they want to focus on the work rather than the words or the man. The words for the man. Although people are going, okay, whatever. Is someone going to dress like him, you'd imagine? Or are they only gonna do the like is everyone gonna dress like him i don't i guess it's possible that people who are going will somehow try to go but also somehow make a statement with whatever i i feel like i just don't understand how fashion works but i know you're like not supposed to say no if you get
Starting point is 00:56:41 invited to the met gala right like it's like you have to go right yeah it'll it'll fuck your life up yeah if you don't it's it's like so sought after i remember when i was working at when i was working at condé nas like at like vogue they were trying to do a 73 questions like this video series with aziz ansari to be in it all right i can already talk about that later but anyway his whole thing was he's like i'll do it if you can get me into the met gala it's like the only reason he did he's like i want to he's like i want to go so bad dude i want to be there so the whole the whole exchange was like we had to go to the magazine and be like yo can you get this guy tickets and like they were like did they yeah i'm pretty sure i did because i mean he showed up to set and i was like and every all the mumblings are like he's the only doing this for met gala tickets and i was like
Starting point is 00:57:29 wow wow i wonder what the theme was that year i think it's just uh yeah who knows the uh who knows oh becca's saying because like beyonce says she's not gonna go but that's because beyonce doesn't need it it's like i think for a lot of people it's a lot of exposure or whatever right sure sure of course it's like because it just shows you're like oh I've been accepted into this world of the Met Gala it's also very presumptuous of
Starting point is 00:57:56 how good your fit is going to be that you think it's going to be that Aziz Ansari assumes that people are going to be like oh my god Aziz what are you that people are going to be like, oh my god, Aziz, what are you wearing? I think everyone will remember. Yeah. Right, right, right. Or just to be able to tell somebody's like, yo, I got
Starting point is 00:58:11 tickets, bro. I'm going. What are you going to wear? I don't know, man. I think this like old suit I got should be fine. I think. Or these basketball shorts. I do kind of love when people go and they just like whatever they wear is so boring. It has no relevance.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Right, right, right. It's kind of bold. I kind of like it. Because wasn't it, one of the more recent ones was, wasn't that when AOC wore the Eat the Rich dress? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was like, so I was just thinking of how,
Starting point is 00:58:40 you know, it comes for all of us, you know, at some point. I'm looking at Karl Lagerfeld's outfits that he designed and it's really like a bunch of giant, like the thing about him having a giant collar seems to be his main thing.
Starting point is 00:58:58 He has a cat as well? It's a normal sized collar, Jack. Find a new angle. Find a new angle. One of the most iconic is a woman like wearing a you know very very nice outfit with a giant bow tie like a comically sized bow tie around her neck so maybe that's just his thing is like giant neck wear which i can get behind that's all right that's how i described nooses i think in an interview too yes oh it's just a giant neck wear my friend who just the one who took
Starting point is 00:59:33 in the syrian immigrant uh was recently saying that what were nooses but the first but giant neck wear and i think that's why i'm i'm playing with playing with it with my next collection. But yeah, so they're focusing on the work rather than the words or the man. Throwing into that category is presumably his 2005 diet book. Because he was one of the most fat-shaming, anti-plus-size, anti-health.-health acceptance anti-healthy brain and body he he caped for toxic beauty standards yeah you know the carl lagerfeld diet uh which consisted of low calorie meals and plenty of diet coke huh okay it's by i like how I like how it says the Karl Lagerfeld diet with Dr. Jean-Claude Oudre. Like, what the fuck? This doctor was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is good.
Starting point is 01:00:31 This works. This works for me. It says his regimen called the Spoon Light Program involved a very low-fat, very low-calorie diet, plenty Diet Coke. The designer favored fish lean meat fruit skim milk and vegetables and avoided alcohol cream sugar and other carbs that meant bread pasta most cheeses and red meat were banned okay and then one meal super fun to hang out with like just guy to go to dinner with you know it just sounds cool he would be like the kind of person where you order and they start scoffing yes uh so i'll have a salad uh like the
Starting point is 01:01:05 caesar okay a caesar uh and then i'm gonna have the sea bass his diet was purely for quote appearance only he called fashion the healthiest motivation for losing weight and believed that diets should be a sort of punishment. So this guy gets it. He's glad that he was advising people the exact opposite of what is actually healthy. Yeah. So, yeah, this is a really interesting way to articulate how to actually do harm to yourself. It's wild how just all the toxicity of these beauty standards like it's just rampant again another thing i heard at vogue words i forget what the fuck like people couldn't eat
Starting point is 01:01:51 at certain shoots like they wouldn't have food for crew at certain shoots like if it was like a fashion shoot yeah because they're like no we don't need to have food here right now and you'd hear like these things that people say like nothing tastes as good as how skinny feels yeah that's oh my yeah yeah i was like and then people would regurgitate that and be like that's the thing and i'm like what the fuck is wrong with all y'all other advice you can find in the book is chewing food and spitting it out which is what an eating disorder thing like that's the thing that they... Anyway, so cool. So let's focus on the man. It's not the man or the words or the takes,
Starting point is 01:02:29 but the collars. Or the book. Isn't that a thing at the Met Gala too? Isn't it rumored that the food is terrible? Have you guys heard of that? Oh, I'd believe it. I mean, talk about a room full of people who probably aren't just reading the excerpts from his book.
