Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our twenty twenty four wrap up episode. But before we
get into the episode, do you have any New Year's
Eve or you know New Year's Day traditions? Yeah, anything
that you do before the new year.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
No, I don't actually like for.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Example, I'll give you an example. I don't know where
this came from. I think it was for my parents,
but it was just something that I think they said
they did. So I just started doing it where I
get cash on the thirty first, so have cash in
your wallet, so I go to the ATM. I make
(00:39):
sure like my whole place is clean, like so I
do a deep clean before the thirty first, clean your car,
almost like a whole reset. Yeah. So that's something that
I don't know where it started from. I don't know
if it's tradition, but it's just something I've just always done.
Where cash in your wallet.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Wow, while the cash in the wallet, I think.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's just like for good luck, you know, starting the
new year with money in your wallets, so you know,
good luck in your finance. And then a clean apartment,
you know, a whole year of being clean, and just
you know, clean car. So that's something haircut Oh yeah,
well I just got mine so I won't be on
the thirty first, but yeah, that's something like I did.
(01:24):
We used to have like New Year's Eve parties where
this was I think this is not only a Filipino thing,
but they would throw coins in the air and then
all the kids would grab the coins. So that's similar
to having like money, so good luck for the New Year.
You never did anything like that.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Nah, didn't have no type of tradition.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Is there anything that you like doing on the thirty
first before the New Year or is it just.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
A regular regular day for me? I mean obviously we
would do the club thing a lot. I mean, so
that was that was like big. I haven't did like
a club on New Year's even a few years now,
So yeah, I never really had anything traditional. The only
thing that my dad would he would always cook manu
though on the first, okay, because you know, you go
out in the thirty first, probably hungover, So that was
(02:11):
something there was, I guess a little traditional. My dad
doesn't live here anymore, so I don't see him, but
I would go over to his house and he would
he had made manulo, So I guess I guess I
did have a little something. But yeah, I never actually
never even heard of those before. But that's interesting. Do
you do New Year's resolutions? Do you are you going
to make any or.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I mean so, I believe we've talked about this before
in the past. It was a thing that we all did.
But as for the past couple of years, I think
you and I always had this mentality is.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Like when I want to change them and do it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
This is when we're always when we want to do something,
we're going to do it, regardless what the date is.
So I stopped doing resolutions just because goals goals. You know,
when I did the weight loss thing, lost seventy five
pounds and I kind of just been hovering, gained a
few pounds, lost a little bit, just hovering in that area.
(03:04):
I never got to reach that hundred. So twenty twenty five,
I think that's the goal, is to finally reach that
one hundred total of weight loss, all right, which I'm
like almost there. How about you?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Any goals did I set this past year? Man?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I think it was just more going out and doing
things that I hadn't done before. So I did a
lot of trips again this year, but it was really
the big one is going to be in twenty twenty
five when I go out to Japan. So this year
was definitely like a lot of planning for that. I
think I did maybe the year before it was when
I set that goal of wanting to go out and
(03:39):
do a lot and I did, and this year I
just I think I wanted just to kind of continue that,
so I did. And then I moved this year and
I'm in a new spot that I really really like
and enjoy. So that was kind of like a goal
I wanted to I guess be fresh in that sense,
new environments.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So yeah, that was my year.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, I think twenty twenty four was definitely we we
set what we were we wanted to do and we
did it because yeah, a lot of new experiences for
me too. So I think in twenty twenty five, if
I had to put like a specific goal is to
you know, because we do a lot of traveling. I
want to travel to someplace newt you So, because I'm
(04:17):
even kicking off January first traveling, so I'm gonna be
why again done real quick. Speaking of New Year's Eve,
New Year's Eve is gonna be wild for me because
I'm djaying and Fresno at sunset So if you're listening
to this before New Year's Eve, come hang with me
for New Year's Eve at sunset and Fresno right when
the club is done. So I'm done, probably around one
(04:38):
forty five, two o'clock. I'm gonna be already all packed,
and I'm right after the club driving straight to LA
to catch my flight.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So I'm hoping it's not foggy. I'm hoping I'm not
too tired, but New York on the plane for sure,
I'm knocking out on the plane. And lastly, the clubs.
Do you have any memories of like club the we
did New Year's Eves at the club?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, I mean Imperial was always fun. It was always packed.
Uh yeah, rest in peace. Imperio now is what club won?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Oh yeah, it's a casino.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yes's casino now.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
So yeah, I did have a lot of good time
with the New Year's I remember we did like a
little New Year's thing in the building because I was
on air that that night, so we just like kind
of had people come in. We were just like hanging out.
That was like a few years back. But yeah, in
New Year's yeah, but you.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's not really I don't know if this is a
positive thing. But the only thing I remember in Fresno
doing nightclubs all the time is the club would be
packed at right when it opens nine pm packed, and
then right after the countdown clear, everyone would just leave.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know what that was about.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, I don't know if that's like a Fresnel thing,
but yeah, I remember that. That sticks in my head.
I've got to experience different New Year's Eve. I've got to.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
At one time I owned a restaur and we did
a New Year's Eve there with the staff. Last New
Year's Eve was super chill, like, didn't really do anything.
That was Actually that was one of my favorites, just
because doing the clubs all those years. It was just
good to just not do anything. Lately, you know what,
I've been seeing my family do nothing. They don't even
(06:22):
I've been seeing that a lot lately. No one stays
up till midnight. It's not a thing anymore. Yeah, so
over it maybe or yeah maybe the age thing, Like
we've done our partying again. It's the industry we're in so.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So we're always going to be part of it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yes, I have to DJ again this year, but yeah, man,
let's do it. I'm ready for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
This could give me for our podcast. What up? I'm Jizzo.
That is John Magic and we are back.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I mean, we just want to do a wrap up
of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, some of the pop culture moments in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Four necessarily in any order, right Nah?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
No, I mean we could start off with this one
because we were just talking about New Year's Eve last
New Year's Eve. I went to the Kat Williams show.
He was in Fresco last Year's so I guess I
did do that. I know we were talking about New Year's
even moment ago, but just a few days later, Kat
Williams was on the Shannon Sharp podcast Shay Shay, and
(07:25):
that's when he just aired out everything. So I guess
we can start there. That was probably the first viral
moment of the year, and it was really at the
top of the year when Kat Williams went on that
podcast and just started airing out everybody's dirty laundry.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Why does that seem like it was just a no
like a few months ago for me, Like, didn't that
just happen?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Maybe because the stuff he was saying it actually started
to come out and turn the year, which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
True, Like I mean, did he brought up the Diddy stuff?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, we'll get to that a little bit later. Yeah,
that was crazy. Yeah, and he just started airing out
everybody's dirty laundry. But the thing about and I think
we talked about this in the in the podcast at
the time, is everybody believed everything he said. Yeah, and
then when people would come out to kind of defend themselves,
like nobody believed that side of it, And we kind
(08:11):
of talked about how that was weird, like why do
you believe one side and why not somebody else's side?
But I think it's the thing where people want to
believe what is like more maybe entertaining more, like they
want to believe the things that they want to believe,
like what they want to believe, like, oh, that's true,
but what you were saying, like I don't want to
believe that, so that's not true.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah. I mean Jamie Fox Special just came out a
few weeks ago, and he even he brings that up,
like people thinking that he's a clone and all the
things that Kat Williams said, and I mean he just
made it. He explained to his side of it made
it entertaining, and I mean, like you said, for us,
it was more on the entertainment side of it, it
(08:50):
is what it is. But you're right, people took it.
The people were like.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
See yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew it was true.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, just kind of piggyback off the club Shah thing
and Shannon Sharp. I remember he went on the Instagram
live when he was having sex.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
That was That was a twenty twenty four moment.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, he was on Instagram live probably or one of
the lives on social You can't.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
See anything, but you can hear it, and you can
clearly hear him having sex, and he admitted to it.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That was the thing. I remember. We shouted out his
honesty about it because usually the PR department will, you know,
how do we fit, how do we hide this, how
can we explain it a different way?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Got hacked?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
He just he went ahead and said, nah, that was it.
And he's been getting he's been getting roasted by a
lot of celebrities in a fun way.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So yeah, that was a big twenty twenty four viral moment.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I know, I guess we're kind of going in order
here if we want to bring in sports real quick,
because after that was February the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Oh man, I don't think I want to we don't
want to talk about that one, right, Yeah, because my
Niners were there, Chiefs Niners. I thought it was a
good super Bowl. It was in Vegas, the game was good.
Usher had performed.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That was a good halftime show.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, great halftime show. And then you know, Taylor Swift
was very popular that year and she was at the game,
so that was that was definitely a big moment with
that game.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I mean we could go right there with Taylor Swift had.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
A year man her Aeros tour, her Airs tour.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Broke numbers with like I mean, I'm making this number
of billions.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Of I mean I think she hit like a billion.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, the money she made. Yeah, just that Aeros tour
was the biggest thing. We gave away tickets yeah here
at the radio stations. So congrats, So all the winners
that got to go. And yeah, Taylor Swift had her
year and still with Travis.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, I know. They actually put one of the concerts
on Disney Plus. I don't know if you watched it.
I watched it because I just I'm not like a
fan of Taylor Swift, but I do appreciate what she
is in pop culture and just everything she does.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Her fan base is crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So I watched it just to see the production of
her show, and man, it's crazy, Like the show that
she puts on. Is no wonder why people go crazy
for her because that was that was insane. Listen, we'll
dive into sports since we're kind of on that topic
a little bit. Lebron and Bronnie on the same team
(11:20):
father son.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Made history as the first father and son to be
playing at the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I thought that was really cool to see that happen.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yes, I think the moment is amazing. You know, people
were kind of hating saying he only got this because
le Bron You know what I say, Yeah, that is
how he got it. And if you were a dad
and you had a son that had that opportunity, you
take it too. Because I mean, Ronnie, he's not NBA
(11:55):
ready yet.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I don't know if he ever will be.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Also, I mean all so when I say NBA ready,
I guess maybe like a star player, he could be
a role player somewhere because he's shown bits of he's
played in games where he showed bits of there's something there,
but you know, people saying like, oh, he's only there
because of Lebron. Yes, yeah, yeah, that's what it is,
(12:20):
So just let it go.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I think I think so too, And honestly, I didn't
have a problem with it because I think I thought
it was really cool to see and it just shows
Lebron's longevity.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
That was what was more impressive than anything.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
The fact that he stayed in the league that long,
that relevant, that he basically waited for his son to
get to the league, and I think it was a
it was a calendar. Colin Cowhard made a good point.
We see this in business all the time, where you know,
the dad at the top of the business hands it
down to his son that probably didn't deserve it. There
was probably somebody else in the company that deserved it,
but hey, it was his son.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He gets it, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
To me, it was just another situation like that, like, yes,
he probably shouldn't have been drafted out high or at all.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But it was cool to see. Yep, and I got
to see father son.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
We also have the Olympics this year.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Some Olympics, Yeah, I mean forty gold medals they we
tied with China one hundred and twenty six for the
most in the country. Any viral, I mean, there was
a lot of viral moments during the Olympics that were
any of this sticked out to you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I mean the only once you say that, I don't
know why Snoop came into.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
My head was literally gonna say snoop with the torch.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah. Obviously I'm a big basketball fan, so just Team
USA watching those games.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's always fun to see the greatest players in the
world play on the same team. I mean, when are
we ever going to see Lebron and Curry and you know,
all on the same team, which is a lot of
fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But the Gymnasty girls, the girls did their thing this year.
That was dope. I think the most viral moment was
that break dancing girl.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
That's right, yeah, yeah, ray Gun Yeah from Australia.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, she did the little raptor dance and that was all.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
That was the viral moment of the Olympics. And then
I don't I don't know if she's the cause of this,
but they're not bringing back that that particular thing in
four years. It's not in an Olympic sport anymore.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So what happened was I don't know why it worked
out this way, but it was it was gonna be
on this Olympics. It's skipping Olympics for some reason, and
then it's gonna come back again, so in eight years.
I don't know, I don't know why. But yeah, did
you watch it at all? By any nine chants?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The break?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah, I mean just the highlights. Yeah, yeah, but no,
not not religiously or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, it was. It was interesting. I don't know, that's it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I thought it was cool because it's something that you know,
it's kind of part of our hip hop culture. So
it was cool to see as a sport, I guess,
and Olympics, but it was also weird, Like I don't
know how they judged it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well, I mean there's I think because there's competitions that
happened already, same form Yeah, I think they took like
the judges from from there and just kept that same
formula because there's it already exists as a as a thing.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Another big sporting event that happened, or some people might
not call it, but the Jake Paul Mike Tyson, would
you think.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, I mean there was hype on it, and then
when it happened, what did people expect. I knew this
was just gonna be an exhibition match.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That's what I took it as entertainment.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The only thing that.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Wasn't entertaining, though.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
The thing that became viral was when you tried to
watch it live on Netflix. It just kept buffering and
I thought it was only me, but no, I guess
it was the whole world, like, yo, what's going on?
Like we can't even watch this, uh with good quality
or yeah, So I ended up just waiting for the highlights,
and that's how I watched it. I mean, yeah, it
(15:44):
is what it is. There was nothing there, no.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I mean, it was a lot of hype, and yeah,
it wasn't really even entertaining, honestly, but it was. It
was a good build up to it, you know, to
see if it was gonna be fun or not.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
How about the conspiracy theory of Mike Tyson was told
not to go all out because there are videos of
moments where he could have where it was open for
him to take that swing, but he never does.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You never know, like what the behind the scenes conversations
are like, hey, let's kind of spar you know, let's
let's drag this out. Let's not really try to knock
each other out. I could see that happening because at
the end of the day, it was a big payday
for them and they definitely won.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I mean when that for me, they showed Mike practicing
and sparring in practice and just.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It looks like he was going to do some damage.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, but for it for him not to bring it
to the actual fight there there could be something there.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
All right, let's talk about this was also fun this
year the beef, the rap beef of Drake and Kendrick
that was used.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
For us in radio.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Man, and then also some hits came out of it.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, I mean, and honestly, it's probably what God Kendrick
to perform at the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
This was like Kendrick's year.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
He probably had the song of the year with Not
Like Us that was playing everywhere. It's still playing, and
then you know, he dropped the album He's He's gonna
do the super Bowl. But I just remember I was
actually on vacation during that time, and so I was
trying to follow it as much as you can, but
you know when you're sort of unplugged, you're kind of
away from your phone like that, and I would just
(17:21):
every time I would pop up, was like another song
drop and I was like what the hell and like
oh and in a response and then another response and
it was just going back and forth and it was
it was really fun because you know, sometimes these things
could get dangerous we've seen in the past, but it
really just felt like sport.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, this one stayed musically. Yeah there, you know, I agree.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
There was no violence, There was nothing that popped off,
and literally like two of you know, the top five
rappers in the game going at it. And it was
a lot of fun, especially be on the West Coast
and have Kendrick do that, and you know the Dodgers.
That was kind of like their song throughout the playoffs. Ye,
the Dodgers they won the World Series. So I just
thought that moment, and that was back in May. I
(18:02):
thought that was like pretty good because we haven't had
like a good beef. The last one we had was
like what Drake and Meek Mill was a few years back.
Everyone actually goes after Drake a lot, but you.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Think Drake is doing the where he's just you know,
he understands that it's Kendrick's years, so he's just he's
been laying low lately.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
He really has.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, there's been no type of other response or anything
like that. But I mean, I think Drake, I think
he's I think he's good where he's at in the
sense of he's always making hit records, he's always coming
out with big albums. A right, what else did I
have here? We didn't really talk about this, but it
was like a big moment. It will just bring it up,
I guess. But the presidential election, I think the thing
(18:41):
this took out to me the most was that first
debate with Trump and Biden and just how bad it was.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, I mean we both said it off pod. Yeah, Yo,
this is just both are bad.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It was just a really embarrassing moment in I mean,
they're eating the cats and dogs and you know, Biden
not even remembering what he was insane and him stumbling
in his words, and then he finally decided to drop
out of the race, and then Kamala came in. It
was just it was a it was a mess. It's
been a mess these past with eight years now, we're
(19:17):
going on.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, I mean you and I have always said we're
not we're not big on politics. If I mean, if
I was gonna label myself as something, would be an
independent I kind of just you know, want to see
who has like the best policies and all this stuff.
And also democracy is obviously working because you could tell
(19:39):
majority of people wanted Trump. It's weird because it's not.
I don't know, I could be wrong. This is just
from how I see it in my eyes. His first term,
it was just a lot of negativity where they were saying,
what's going on? Horror, He's a horrible person. Then we
saw these negative, horrible things happen in the world.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, this this time around, it wasn't so bad, right,
Is that kind you're saying?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, it is almost like it almost felt like what
we were getting. Yes, it was it's majority rules, and
I'm good with that. I'm good with what the majority wants.
We even called it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
We we said, like.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, if we think out of the two, Trump is
the one that I feel like people are gonna vote for.
And yeah, I mean, like we always say, is our
lives gonna change?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No, I mean I've seen presidents come and go Democrats
Republicans throughout my whole life. Has it affected me personally?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Not really.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I've made my own path in life. Yeah, things change
here and there and affect things. But personally, has it
affected me or people close to me, whoever's in office?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Not really.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I feel like I'm a big believer if I control
my own life and I follow whatever rules are in
place at the time, who's ever making decisions at the
time respected? But yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't bother me.
That's why I don't even care to vote.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Do I wish? Do I hope he does make the
grocery prices go down, which I don't think it's really
on him. Do I hope the gas prizes go down?
Of course, Hey if that happens, hey we're good, let's go.
But it's kind of weird how we especially like the
grocery prizes. It's does the president have controlled that? Because
(21:24):
I feel like the product. The people that make the products,
they see the world buying it for this much, and
they keep going, Oh, if the public is going to
keep paying for it this much, then let's keep making money.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Then the economy flows, you know, supply and demand. How
people are spending purchases. I don't really think presidents have
much to do about that. Businesses, pricings where they want to.
You know, we're capitalism in this country. So again, whoever's
in office, I don't really care. It doesn't affect me personally.
People want to be mad about it, they want to
(21:55):
all the hate stuff like that bothers me that people
have to take it that far.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
But just live your life. I mean, just live your life.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Do you let me ask you this, the first term,
there was all that negative energy, you know, with a
bunch of negative things happening during his first term. Do
you think that happens again this term or do you
think we'll just go with the flow.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I think it won't be as bad.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I think it's kind of like what we were talking
about is that the past eight years we seen Trump
for four, we've seen bottom four, sort of knew what
we were getting now at this point, and it was
kind of just like, who's ever what I would like
to see, just for just some freshness, is somebody different
and we'll finally get that after Trump is done, I hope, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
On both sides.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, on both sides. Yeah, I don't want to see
the same people running. I just want to see some
fresh blood out there. Who else does this country have
to offer that can lead us? But you know, again,
we don't really go down that road, but we had
to mention it because it was a big presidential year.
Let's dive into some fun stuff. I thought this was
kind of a disappointing year in movies, a little entertainment here.
(23:02):
But where I really did have a good time was
did Pull and Wolverine.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
That was big to me.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
That was like the movie of the year, a lot
of great surprises. I enjoyed watching that movie. It felt like,
you know, because I'm a big movie goer and it's
sort of dying down and people don't really go But
when we have these event type of movies, like the
year before we had The Oppenheimer and the Barbie.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Another big movie that I didn't go to, but Wicked
I went to.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I got to see that.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, okay, so did you like it?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well, I'm familiar with the play. I've gotten to see
the play.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And you actually went to the play too, right, Yep?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I went to the play, Like I said, when the
play is old, maybe more than ten years old. Yeah, yeah,
the Broadway play and they even came here to Fresno
one year. I got to I got to interview the cast.
So that was a cool experience to interview them. And
so I was a fan and I'm familiar with the
(23:58):
Broadway play. So getting the chance to see this movie
that I've heard about for years that they were planning
to do, yeah, it was cool to see.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And yeah it is I yeah, Okay, so I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I mean I know that gist of like because Wicked's
essentially like a prequel to Wizard of Oz, right basically, Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Is the movie? Is it the same as the play?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, it's exactly the same, with additions of some scenes,
which I kind of like because it gives it a
little context because the Broadway play is more to the point,
like this quick, this one. It does add a little
bit more, but it does give it some context, So
I'm good with it.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So here's where I'm confused by is there's a part
two to wickeds So does that mean they didn't do
the whole.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Play of the Broadway play that they did half of
the play.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yes, So if you watch the Broadway play, yeah, it ends,
there's an intermission. Okay, so there's always a first part
and a second part in all Broadway plays.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yea yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It ends after the first part, so it follows it good.
So instead of a ten minute intermission the movie, we're
gonna get a year intermission, so we got to wait
for the second part, which if you watch the play,
you get to see it after the intermission.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
This one we just have to wait a year, got you.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
So those were two big ones. This one I just
want to throw out there, just because how viral it was.
But the Madam web.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Man, everyone was hating on that, and I waited for
it until it came to Netflix. I gave it a
few I was staring at it for a few days,
like should I even watch it? And so one day
I was bored. I was like, let me see how
bad it really is, just because everyone was saying how
bad it is, that acting, the storyline nothing made sense.
(25:49):
So I watched it. It wasn't that bad, and it
was so bad it was good. I'll say that it
was so bad that it was good to watch. How
bad it is. I enjoyed it. Maybe I enjoyed it
because I knew what I was getting into. Let's say,
I was like excited about this movie, and I watched
it with no context of hearing negative things. I would
(26:11):
have been upset. I would have been upset watching this movie.
But I went into it seeing how bad it was,
and oh yeah it was bad.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, there was definitely some a lot of negative comments.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I didn't watch it. I refused TV. Let's dive into
TV since we're in the entertainment world. Still, what was
you have a show that you really liked to or
maybe a documentary or what stood out to you this year?
I know for me and you, we were new to
this and it was actually one of the biggest things
that people watched this year was Love Island.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Love Island is Yeah, but I've been watching the Australia ones.
I actually have never seen any of the US ones. Yeah,
and it's just because that's what's available to me and
with what I'm streaming.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah. Oh so you still haven't seen the US one?
Oh oh man.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
So that was the one that really like took off
this year and went viral, which what made me dive
into it and I enjoyed it. But I just recently
watched this Australian one that me and you have been
talking about off the mic and that one's way more
entertaining than me, honestly.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Okay, so that, yeah, I don't feel like I'm missing out.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
In that same realm, we were watching Love Is Blind. Yeah,
so those had some viral moments. Even though this last season.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Was kind of weak, Yeah, it's kind of it.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
But there was an earlier season that was cool.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I know a show that I kept seeing popping up
as like one of the big ones this year was
that and you I think you had first told me
about it was The Baby Reindeer.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Baby Reindeer. Yeah, I saw that one.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That was based off a true story that was a
wild story about this this comedian. I think one of
my favorite shows this year was The Penguin. I know
you said you couldn't get into it. I really enjoyed it.
I know that's on Max. I would have to say
one of the most disappointing ones this year was House
of the Dragon season two.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, I watched that. I watched that and.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Kind of ended and it was like, yeah, that was
kind of weak.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
So it was like this big setup with no payoff.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah exactly. And then I mean we got to talk
about Diddy. That might have been one of the bigger
ones this year.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, the whole Diddy thing coming out and.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The sexual assault, the misconduct lawsuits. I mean, to this day,
people are still coming out about him and just the
baby oil jokes and the freak offs that we're hearing
about because I know, you know, especially in this industry,
we always we grew up hearing about how crazy Diddy
parties were.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
He talked about all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It was just a known thing, and then just all
this stuff came out about it, and it kind of
started with cat whims at the top of the year
and then lo and behold, Like we saw the Cassie
video and that was that was horrible.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
The Cassie videos. What did it for me? Just seeing
that was shocking?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, and man, I mean, what do you think. I mean,
he's in jail now.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
And yeah, so the trials set from May. I mean,
it's it's to me, there's just too much, you know,
I mean, like there's just too much. Something's gonna happen.
I don't know, you know, I'm sure he's gonna do
some years. I don't know if he's gonna do life
or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I doubt it.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
But the trial is in May. That's gonna be interesting watch.
That'll probably be on the review list for next year.
But yeah, man, I mean you're talking about somebody who
just like fell from the top. Diddy, that was that
was a big one this year.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I'm a big you know. My my personality is like,
I mind my own business. So I'm sure there was
some wow, sketchy shit that happened in those years of
his life. I just I I don't, I'm not. I
guess the thing I'm trying to get to, like, especially
like the jay Z stuff, how everyone's going with the
(29:48):
jay Z things. I don't know, Like I don't, I
don't know, so I have no opinion about it. It's
not you know, it's I'm not part of that life.
So it's tough. It's tough, and I know these celebrities
are put into a microscope. Yeah man, so who knows.
It's wild.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
We'll see how it plays out, you know what I'm saying,
with all the evidence, and see what happens to him.
This is like a recent one, the Luigi dude, you know,
killing the CEO of the United Healthcare That's been an
ongoing one. I mean, is it's crazy to see the
two different sides on this, because on one side, this
(30:30):
dude killed an innocent person, essentially, and on the other side,
the way our healthcare system is in this country and
people are so frustrated with it that he was getting
some praise for doing it, and he was also getting
the like, you know, girls liking him because the way
he looks, and he's got this look to him and
this charisma, I guess, and it's just it's crazy to
(30:51):
see that side of it, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It's weird because it is why out seeing friends personal
friends of mine praising him for killing someone. Yeah, like
and by the way, it's still alleged, because he's saying
not guilty.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah exactly, so, I mean, but we won't say that
he did.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
But for the for people that I think that even
the people that believe that he did do it.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
They're like, yeah, but they're like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's cool, which I get. I get the whole the
health what is it? The healthcare system is whack in
this country. Yes, yeah, And this is not the answer.
I don't think, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's
just weird when they go, nah, I'm fine with him
killing the dude, Like whoa Yeah. Yeah, so that's gonna
(31:44):
be big in twenty twenty five, the trial, and for
sure we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Speaking of you know, I just wanted to bring this
up people dying. I know we lost some some names
this year, Carl Weather's, James, Earl Jones, Quincy Jones, Liam Payne,
you know, some of the big celebrities. I know you
lost to your father this year. I know that was
a big one. But I mean, I guess we can
(32:11):
end things on like a lighter notes. Any highlights in
your personal life that you liked from this year.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
You know. The probably the biggest thing in twenty twenty
four for me is starting therapy, which I've never done
therapy before. Yeah, and you know, I started in the
middle of the year and I've been going. I've been
going pretty much every month. I've been, if not every month,
(32:38):
once a week. There was a point where I was
going once a week.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
And the things I've learned about myself of why I am,
why I am, how I am, it is while to
understand that and acknowledge because I could see it me
being a better, better person, being a better person in
(33:02):
my future relationships, just being a better person for myself.
So starting therapy was really big for me just because
of learning about more about me that I didn't really
think about. But it all makes sense and now I
(33:23):
could navigate through that not necessarily saying like, oh therapy
changed me, Well, no, it basically what it does. It
makes me acknowledge like, oh, I do these things because
of this, So now i could navigate through it because
I have this knowledge and I'm aware there it is.
I'm aware. That was a big episode. By the way,
(33:44):
when we had the therapist Nyatara Rodriguez look for her episode,
that was a great episode.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
That was a good one, and we had like she
answered a lot of great questions on therapy and what
it could do for you and you know why people
maybe seek it or you know why we need to
or should go to it. By the way, I didn't
know that was your first time going to therapy, Yeah,
because in my life, was it just because you weren't
sure you were against it? Was there not really a
(34:11):
reason or.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I think we've always talked about this before therapy, where
we just kind of figure it out ourselves.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, But the thing is it's deeper issues. It's like
when you were a kid growing up how you were
raised is what I'm kind of like, Oh shit, that's
why I'm like that.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Yeah, that is interesting. I did therapy for the first
time a few years back. I do like the idea
of it. I just don't think I had a good therapist.
It might be something that I might be dabbling in, yeah,
in the future.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I went through three therapists before I found one that
I am that I work with. Well yeah, yeah, so yeah,
I think that's what they always say, keep finding until
you find the right person.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
I think the way you put it is probably the
best way to say it is. It's not like a cure,
but it definitely helps you navigate through issues or problems
that you may have.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
So I do like that. Yeah, man, it was it was.
It was a big year for myself. You know.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I got to move. I moved into a place that
I really wanted to be at, so I was happy
about that. I did the traveling that I wanted to do.
This year, I got you know, I got a new
title at work now, director of Quality Assurance. That was
something that the company had We're looking for somebody in
a position and they put me in. So that was
like a good step up for me. But yeah, man,
(35:33):
continue into twenty twenty five. We've been doing this podcast
since twenty nineteen. Can't believe it?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yeah, real quick, twenty twenty four. This November twenty twenty
four was my twenty five years in radio. No shit,
twenty five years so my so I started when I
was ten.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I well, you're something crazy to piggyback off. That coming
up in January will be my twentieth year.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
We're gonna end it on that note.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
It is man continued success. We're not gonna stop with
the podcast. No yeah, So man, what is this one
hundred and fifty five?
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I think something like that. Yeah, we started.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I can't believe we started in twenty twenty nineteen. Did
we really start in twenty nineteen?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Man?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Man oh man, wow, and we're still going.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
We're still going. We appreciate everyone that always tunes in.
I get random. I was just at my hair getting
a haircut from my stylist and she was bringing up
our last episode about the Request No Request. Yeah, she
said that she loved that episode. And we always have
friends commenting and yeah, we appreciate it, man, And we
(36:40):
don't get paid for this. We do this because we
enjoy it. You know. We hope one day that the
audience does get bigger, but it's not. We just do
it because I mean, we love doing it.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
This year we did kind of have a goal if
we wanted to focus on more guests, so we actually yes, yeah,
we had a lot of guests. We'll continue balance of both.
I'm sure probably between guests and just doing podcasts works.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Just us too. But uh yeah, I mean appreciate it.
We'll see you on the other side.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah, Happy twenty twenty five.
