(Liz) Hello and welcome back to Houselights I'm one of your hosts Liz Nass
(Jaden) I'm the other one Jaden beard.
(Liz) I didn't say the thing
(Jaden) I know.
(Liz and Jaden) This is your one stop shop. Oh my gosh, this is your one stop shop for everything you need to hear about this week in the world of entertainment.
(Liz) I forgot it. We're having a big emotion day. And I forgot it. Yeah, happens happens. It's finals week. We're the only we're the only podcast happening this week. We did. I was like I got big plans.
(Jaden) Shout out to Anthony
(Liz and Jaden) Anthony for showing up. And also this whole semester. Yeah. I think that's a good way to start. Big. Shout out big Kudu. Kudos, big kudos. Thank you so much, Anthony.
(Liz) Thank you. Um, first of all, I want to talk about the constantly you went to last night.
(Jaden) Oh my god. Yes. I saw Dota and I spice open for her. It was so good. It was just everything and more. Um, I bought the circuits are really long time ago. And I completely forgot. And in turn, I forgot the ice Spice was even opening. So imagine my surprise on the way. Wow, when I found that out. She's such a star. She's such a star. I love her so much. Yeah. How was she and personally they were both just like awesome performers. I think Dojo cat is way better live. I think her last album was just like lacking a live performance and like bass turned up to 100 because that's what it kind of called for. It was all like the imagery and stuff and the, you know, the vitals of it. And I was really happy that she played her old music because I was a little concerned. Because she's not spoken very highly of her old music before.
(Liz) Yeah, but she did get to choose some planet her.
(Jaden) Oh, she did some planet her. She didn't need to know. She didn't need to know. She killed it.
(Liz) But so I've just feel like she's such a good stage presence.
(Jaden) She does. She's so she's just so cool. Does
(Liz) I like what's nice. Chris was walking around or did she have like a good stage presence?
(Jaden) She had a good stage presence. She was you know, she was dancing doing her thing or something like
(Liz) that Pink Panthers. Yeah, like, like, tick tock making fun of her where she just like, has a bag like over her shoulder. And she just kind of just like stands there.
(Jaden) Yeah, there was a little bit of bopping going around. Yeah. I can't hold it against her.
(Liz) No, because I used to like go to one direction concerts. She just like I'm like they would just like walk around the stage.
(Jaden) Yeah, she opened with Delhi. It was everything. I can't remember what don't open with me. I might have been just like paint the town red. But he had to Mara alive. Oh my god, god. Yeah, it really was.
(Liz) That's one of my I think that's probably my favorite.
(Jaden and Liz) Yeah, whoa, whoa, notification. I got the notification. I'm so sorry. That's crazy. We're students to force us to I you know, I've been spending a lot of time on MSU dot d two d two l.edu. I've been spending more time than I think I've ever spent on too muchI spent my entire Friday studying. Yeah, that's all I've done today. It's really gross. I to finals. Anyways. You guys don't say entertainment that you want. But um, maybe it's something you can relate to? Maybe it's the you know, sign up. If you're also like other animals. Oh, relatable. So just like best podcast
(Liz) But um, you want to bring a Pink Friday 2? Yeah, I think you actually did. We were just talking about it before. Like, you didn't even say like, Yeah, let's find my pink.
(Jaden) Honestly, I still haven't listened to it for way but I really liked it. I liked the samples. I liked everybody. I liked the Uzi feature. Like the Drake feature. Um, Pink Friday, obviously, I don't think can be topped everything's a sequel. That's actually my face. Yeah, I know. I know that's those are your thoughts with serum
(Liz) I just made I don't know like it's it wasn't giving gag City. She said that it was you know what she said? Yeah, it was like the whole thing on Twitter there was like, we're you know, we're giving Gregory there was a really good tweet. Um, let me let me pull on my likes. Yeah, I'm not I just saw I was so far down in my life because I was showing Mary the the Jolina edit that Selena Gomez liked and we'll get into that later. I'll get into that later. But she was like saying like she's sitting on three or four albums, and she said they'd like the gallery hasn't the gallery suddenly was like suddenly like, and this was a quote like, the gallery. Like it's so strong I could. I could gag again on Thursday if I wanted to. Wow, it was crazy. Like she's sitting on three to four ohms of Gag but I'm like, but give it to us, because I was not good. Wow, I said the word gaggle. What could you What would you say? He bought it. I just feel like it didn't sound like Pink Friday. at all like I like it. She should have just called it like new album. Yeah. Like it's like bad. Yeah. Like, I didn't think the songs were bad, but it wasn't Pink Friday. Yeah, did it? Did it? Yeah, you could never you can never talk you can recreate that sort of gag.
(Jaden) Just the one bar from it that I can't mention on Houselights It's just so good.
(Liz) Of course, it's just like, you can't really mention anything when Nikitos I can. I honestly, the continuous the continuing of me saying GYG is like gross enough for the podcast. So imagery. The imagery is in queue.
(Jaden) With our saltburn review. I think I think we just need to start it in the groove. I feel like we owe them a PG episode now. Right? Yeah, Anthony is showing a picture of Dota care. Like I'll show some videos after I my videos weren't that good. But yeah, where were you seated? I was on the floor. I I was on the floor. But I was kind of like, it wasn't like GA so you can just like kind of get early and like get up front which is like what I want. I like to you know, fight for it. Yeah, but I was kind of if there was like eight subsections I was in like the fourth one on the right. I'm like doing a lot of hand movements by the way just like
(Liz) Were you in Little Caesars arena?
(Jaden) Yes. And um but there was like this. These really told us in front of me and I just like this was always my luck and I like don't have any toll shoes at my house here currently. And so it's okay though.
(Liz) You're a tiny lady. I was just a small for flow, Millie. I was standing behind two of the tallest ladies I've ever seen in my entire life. And then I'm like, How do you even exist, let alone right here, right? Yeah, I was like, they were like supermodels just in front of me. I was like you're too tall. Anyways, let's get into what we what we brought Anthony here for what we, you know, wanted to do for finals week. And I would like to say I stole this directly from the canceled podcast. Plagiarism. I love plagiarism. If there's one thing about me, she's on the record. And she's on the record saying she was plagiarism. This can be like, you're gonna post Houselights and just quote tweet. I look tourism journalist. Journalist. But um, yeah, I suppose from canceled. I guess we're gonna do the first ever Houselights awards, and I thought that it'd be perfect for 2023 We're in gowns.
(Jaden) Liz and I are wearing gowns.
(Liz and Jaden) Yes. And we're super like, I know you can't see us. We're wearing gowns, low chairs. This beautiful by the way. Yeah, yours is like glittering in the light. Yeah, you know, just like something special for the occasion. I love it.
(Liz) But we wrote up our not only did we come up with the answers, obviously we first First of all, we voted unanimously which meant we were the only two that were part of this and we both have different answers.
(Jaden) Liz wrote all the categories
(Liz)) I didn't realize I was trying to give you a little credit.
(Jaden) I know but I just can't accept credit for something that I don't
(Liz) see it's different because I love plagiarism the new won't accept credit for what's not yours. I just how we balance each other.
(Jaden) I just can't accept credit for what's not mine. I have to give credit where credit is due. And it's all to you.
(Liz) were they like were the categories gag said he would you say?
(Jaden) Oh yeah, there was like no notes like that. I wouldn't I wouldn't add anything. You didn't add me. It was perfect already. I'm just like, yeah, it's already good.
(Liz) No, yeah, it's good. Looks good. But I'm pretty excited to get into it. Um,
(Jaden) I'm excited to see which ones we have similar because
(Liz) I feel like we have a couple that are similar. Okay. Let's so let's start with best breakup of 23. Would you like me to go first?
(Jaden) Sure.
(Liz) Ariana Grande and her husband Holton. Yeah, so then. Let's do it for SpongeBob
(Jaden) Yeah, that was pretty good.
(Liz) That was pretty awesome. Like, I mean, there's like, it could have been other categories on here, like scandals, whatever. But like, I really feel that it was the best breakup. Like I can't think of one that was like, Well, you might have one. But I just think like bringing in Spongebob Squarepants the musical Yeah, that was everything on set romance. She like knew the wife before that. So much trauma that like really just feeds my soul. Yeah, good breakup, but I have no idea how he's doing. So maybe like it's not a great breakout. Well, I don't know really. What a great breakup for everyone. No, not specifically. He should get together. The husband and the wife. Yeah, that'd be cool. That'd be cool.
(Jaden) Mine Taylor Swift and Maddy Healy. Oh, that's a good one. Because it wasn't like around for a while. So we got to see the full. Yeah, I know. I have that for best breakup, because I think like when that news dropped, so many people were just like, Oh, thank god. It's Row wars are calling him like ready Healy Yeah, war is over. I feel like they did it from literally I don't even think that they were even like in a full relationship I think lambs ones yeah I think that they were just like hanging out and it was like a honestly they it was just me terrible PR Terry out for her. Yeah great. pretty loud for him because it brought him it brought his awfulness to like the light, which I didn't even know. These are brutal. Yeah, so I just think we all read a collective sigh of relief when Taylor Sosa Maddy Healy broke up in my notes. It says Thank God.
(Liz) Thank God. No, that's so true. That sort of goes into my next one, which is worse celebrity interview. Oh my god. 2023. I'm so sorry. My mom's gonna be so pissed when she hears those because she loved it so much. The Taylor Swift time personally. Yeah. Bad. She called her reputation. A goth punk moment. That was insane. And it's like she's like, it's not all about just like sparkly snakes. And like, black dresses or whatever. It's okay. If that's what, that's what? Literally pop music. That's fine. It can be about that. Yeah. And I love it. Reputation is one of my favorite albums until it has Yeah, it is not God's punk like bikini killers. Only I know they're not dead. But the key killers like turning in their graves dot just like it's so it's so cringe. It's set the music genre back a lot. It's in the punk scene back a lot. Yeah. And just like a lot of ourselves. I was like, I'm the like she was talking about like, re recording her album. She's like, I'm Harry Potter with the Horcruxes. And like so many stones and I was like, I was not gagged. I was gags when in a different way. Yeah, it was. And like, you know me. I'm a Swifty until I die. But not then. I was pretty bad. Great pictures though. Yeah, she looks she looks phenomenal. I didn't think it was a bad article. I just felt like every she did was like one was worse than the next child reputation and goth punk moment. That was crazy. That was a really good pic was Thank you. Go ahead.
(Jaden) Mine's not as good minds more. Martin was like, it was like an actual video interview. It was when Access Hollywood tried to get Pedro Pascal to read like thirsty tweets about him. And he like refused to read them out loud. Oh, like it was really awkward. for them. It was like really awkward. And they're like, We made a compilation compilation of all these thirsty tweets about you. If you could just read them to the camera. He's like, No, and he was like, he was just reading them. And he was like, I'm not gonna like say this. Because like, that's one thing when it's like those YouTube I'm pretty sure he's done those YouTube videos where it's like they read it. But Andrew Garfield is on the conceptual and like, you know what you're getting into
(Liz and Jaden) like, bringing it up like on Access Hollywood. And he's just trying to promote like his movie and stuff. Well, he really got he got a certain type of treatment. No, honestly, like they saw like, oh my god, Han DILF and then like, I couldn't do anything with this guy. Yeah. Like I really liked that was just cringe worthy. Yours takes the place we should. which one wins? Yeah, that's our nominations. You're right. Oh my god, Jaden. I can't believe we are genius.
(Liz) Okay, so best break up Ariana Grande and her husband or I kind of like Taylor Swift. Maddie who had more so like, I don't know, this one had a crazy cultural significance. This one was just like, mostly hate. Yeah, both of them are mostly honestly. SpongeBob the musical man isn't Slater. But I think there was more like surrounding the Taylor Swift. At least. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that one.
(Jaden) Okay, sounds good. The first winner every time I get a point. I'm gonna bold it.
(Liz) Okay, but mine takes the cake for yes. Great, amazing. Amazing. Um, I don't know if I don't think I have anything else to say for that. I have nothing else to say. All right fashion icon of the year. I have Beyonce on the whole of the Renaissance tour. Oh, yeah. She slid down. I mean, everything was glittery. Everything was fun. Everything was overdramatic. I know dancers looks great. She looks fantastic.
(Jaden) I'm gonna say something crazy. Okay, and I sososo agree with you. But I've like kind of avoided a lot of Renaissance content because I didn't go to the concert. And every time I think about that, it makes me sad to my core and my phones. So like I didn't I'm not seeing the movie. I like see a video and I like skip over it because I take the pain I can't take the pain experience on To the movies soon I'll watch the movie not yet. I'm not gonna hurt to like actually like bothers me to my core like I'm not over it
(Liz) see like I'm not that big of a fan of like Beyonce music. I solely I just like, love her. She's just an icon you know? Yeah she is but Renaissance was really good I will say that
(Jaden) But I agree with you all of her outfits were like yours because I was just I was thinking Jacob elordi
(Liz and Jaden) ou said that his like dark academia didn't work for him. That's when he was in the movie. He didn't pick that. I mean his like street style his paparazzi photos. Looks like he's in Greece. He looks so good. His stylist is just like dressing him exactly how you want him to be just from the female gaze. It's entirely for the female gaze and that's me. It's for my gaze. It's for he's there dressing him for Jaden beards game. And somebody shot like someone needs and like there's a market for
(LIz) literally St. Louis. It was a tick tock the other day. And it's just like wow, Jacob Lorena was just like human this like unbutton little shirt. It was like about the thing it was very thin. And he just had like a little necktie Irani and rings on your like? His style is deserves like every award deserves every order. You were really intense. It's valid though.
(Jaden and Liz) And I stand behind it. But are we going with Beyonce? Yes. Jacob Willard. He's not winning over Beyonce. Style pretty good. Yeah, no, I was thinking we're like streets like his street style is like you're laughing at me saying street style? No. Not really street style. Do you think about like when you think more just like yeah, but no, I agree. Like, oh my God, I didn't was I didn't write a how to steak. Wait, can I does that mean? You're gonna really like this? You can tell me if you're in a contested or not so sorry, I didn't write a how to say sorry. It's fine. Jane, it's fine. You're fine. I'm gonna take a little bit of an explanation.
(Liz) But the hottest takes of 2023 apparently was liking the song to one to Brazilian let me tell you why.
(Jaden) Yeah, I liked that song,
(Liz) Don't say that. Because when Troye Sivan said he liked it and it was his like pregame like pregame banger? Yeah, that was a song that he listened to Azealia Banks came after him so hard calling him like bandwagoning like that. Why would you say that when you don't know what's going on with me in the industry at the time? Like this little like pop artists who just broke like I mean, she responds been around for a while but like just broke out of pop music all this stuff. And she was like, You're a bandwagon or any she said some other things. I'm not I can't say on this podcast. Yeah, I'm like just very late. That's just a song. I was on the tool. Yeah, like I wasn't the 212 You know what
(Jaden) I don't really understand what's the controversy
(Liz) She was just literally exactly what I'm saying. That all he said was yeah, I just think like that song. And she was so apparently shouldn't have no other part about explaining it to me because I called him like it was ridiculous. Well, we can talk more right now for just because it's if you want to look it up like it's still there. It was on our Instagram story. Like it was just crazy. Um All of you look it up. You can told me if I went on a steak.
(Jaden) No, I think you do. Because I didn't even have one you were not in the 200 I was not in the 212 I don't know I'm seeing a lot that's coming up right now.
(Liz) We'll just look at it later. But I'll take the Since you decided to not insert crazy
(Jaden) Oh my god I didn't do it for rocks. One two. I'm so sorry.
(Liz) Oh my god. Okay, no, it's okay. This one's good too. This one you don't really like really had no idea we talked about
(Jaden) this was one also that I was like Liz made this because she had one in mind.
(Liz) It is so specific. It's most stage paparazzi slash Hollywood fixing?
(Jaden) Yeah, like you want in mind
(Liz) And I did because I just really wanted to run Addison re walking down the street for meeting the woman and me she was just like walking down the street with the book in hand like oh like her face was like making reactions like what yeah, you're sorry just walking down the street. Like reading it. And it's so good people don't walk and read also hot people don't read also hobby we already talked about this hobby will don't even read not Reading isn't hot. It's just I don't think reading is inherently hot. But if you're sociable, and you read too much.
(Jaden) t makes you too powerful. It makes you the ultimate being Addison Rae shouldn't
(Liz) Like, I'm just hot enough and I read just enough, you know, I don't read a lot. Yeah. And like I'm just hot enough to be able to read a little bit. So it's like, I'm very much balanced.
(Jaden) Well, listen. Well was, I think that you are hot enough to not read you to sort of like, I feel like we're biased when we say that, like we're talking about like Addison Rae, Jacob. Oh, lordy cannot read. I'm sorry. He's really either. She doesn't it doesn't fit with her thing.
(Liz and Jaden) And also learning wasn't reading because you're walking down the street. Exactly. Yeah. cover of a book. Oh, if she if she reads then she would know that. That's like impossible to do. She's not reading she's not reading. Did you write one for least online rizz?
(Jaden) Yeah.
(Liz) Okay, fantastic. I would, I would like to insert Shawn Mendes. Because I was thinking in the way that's like, you are super hot. But yeah, I have no game and you're so weird. That's funny. Yeah. Like, because like, I'm just his whole relationship was like he's a good looking dude. He looks He's very nice. He weird though. I just don't have a relationship with Camila Cabello. Where we're like walking down the street like barefoot. You I'm not messing with that. Also, like, it's like, hard to like, watch him do an interview. Yeah, I don't think he's had to have a personality since Magcon. And honestly, did you have to have a personality and Metcon slip state news water? I don't think you did.
(Jaden) Yeah, no, you're right. Mine. Okay. I also wasn't really 100% sure about this one. I just chose somebody who just never comes off. Well, online Dojo cat. Yeah, come off wall. Oh, give me that one. And I love her. No, I'm wearing her shirt over my gown right now.
(Liz) Over your gown. Yeah, so sparkly. So spark like, I just love this. Photo. Um, trust me. It's really pretty, but I will give the discount. Like, I'll give you is just annoying. There's just very loud noise. There's oh my god, imagine like, haunted podcast. That'd be crazy. Spooky. That'd be awesome. Anyways, those cat wins. Okay, thank you. You're welcome. The next one is really fun. And I have honorable mentions as well. That's awesome. Well, I just have one on one mention. But big. This is her biggest poser freak and loser. Well, it's not an loser. It's like it can be any any of them. And I say the weekend specifically for all of his stuff with the idol this year... and he's a loser cuz you know he's silencing women's. Yeah, so poser freak loser. Goes to the weekend. That's a good one. Can I give you my honorable mentions? Yeah, please. Haley Baldwin. Oh, sorry, Beaver. Beaver beaver. Oh, same girl. Yeah, not for long though. They're definitely getting a divorce you saying? Well, okay, the release of your marriage like not only is she like a loser, because all she ever does is like, copy what Selena Gomez does and like everything, but she's also a poser because I'm pretty sure she has all the passwords and Justin Bieber's Instagram. Yeah, like St. Louis. He is not boasting that he is non posting like, oh my god, I love my freakin wife. Like she's so beautiful. Amazing. That's just me. So like, no. Freaking. That was really comma, comma, comma.
(Jaden) Oh, man. The weekend. My top my mind my biggest poser freak loser. Is Matt rife.
(Liz) Oh, that's a great one
(Jaden) ust like okay, in addition to the horrible, awful, disgusting domestic violence jokes he was making. Did you see that? Like he was arguing with some child on Instagram? Kids hold the kid that Santa isn't real. Yeah, and that's Moncure Why would he lie like that? Why would he lie? Why would he make up that Santa isn't real just to just a mess with the kids just like a weird lie. I don't get it.
(Liz) This is the Christmas episode.
(Jaden) Awesome. Sounds like why would he lie?
(Liz) Also, I just feel like he's so unfunny. We've definitely talked about this before, but people get paid to laugh at memorize like shows like they aren't paid. Yeah, I don't know how he got famous. Also he has veneers and he's just amazing. What there is for him. When he does it there
(Jaden) I don't think there's Anything wrong with veneers, but I just feel like with him, it's just like yeah, and of course like he has, like and of course he does. Yeah, Mercy does you know, he's my wife. I think you take I don't I don't know the weekend is a really good pick for that because I like all the stuff with the idol is just like
(Liz and Jaden) Like not your show but just like he's like working the show, like the way that he just took over. And yeah, made it into something terrible. Can we tie I feel like we should tie we can tie there was two equals closer freaks and losers and it was funny posers freaks losers on the weekends. That's crazy. I do like the weekends music. Um, no, the weekend. I have some banners, but we had 10,000% Like, that's why he's famous. You know, it's not because of his. It's not because of his ability to screen right. That's for sure. I really liked it.
(Liz) Okay, best celebrity interview. That's not part of this. Yeah. But like when Troye Sivan was hooked up to the lie detector. And somebody asked him he was like, Oh, I'm like, do you think you're a better actor than this? Like singer and actor? Because he was an idol. Yeah. And he was like, don't let it be who I think it is. And like, it was two people. That wasn't the weekend and he was so stressed out. Oh, my God, because he didn't want to say that. I think that I'm better than the weekend which is so Yeah. Boy of the year. The internet's favorite boy. Favorite boy perhaps I have to I have one that like I think takes cake and honorable mention. Okay. I think Josh Hutcherson takes the cake. Yeah, I'm in my honorable mention is Mr. Jacob elordi. He was mine. He was yours obviously. Right. Well, then Jacob elordi takes I feel like if we both agree that but Josh, it's the edit. It's it's the edit and he has like chicken.
(Jaden) Oh lordy doesn't have an edit. That's true. He has many edits, but he doesn't have the edit that is like career defining the way that Josh Hodgson does so Josh Hutcherson might take the cake.
(Liz) I think he takes it in for going on the term internet boy. He is of the internet
(Jaden and Liz) he internet's favorite boy. Yeah, I just think Jacob Laurie is just like my boy. Or boy or whatever the year. Sorry, that was so I think we all sang. I think our our boy, no, he's ours. It's fine. Anyways, um, worst tweet. I want to hear yours first, because you have a screenshot. I'm really excited. LinkedIn. You link to them. Well, it's like don't get too excited. I mean, I'll say I'll say mine is even from this year. But it's a 10th anniversary. I was like I'm technically like gaslighting right now. On this on this Google Doc that was shared with me it says all caps invalid the first thing keep all this 2023 Total hang on No. This isn't making a header like oh
(Jaden) It's not in a different size. But I just need to paint the picture. Okay, I'll just say mine planet heard hot pink for cash crops and y'all fell for it. Now we can go disappear somewhere in touch grass with my loved ones on an island while y'all wait for mediocre pop. And I put this was worst tweet. Because I loved Osaka I'm wearing her shirt over my gown. I remember every I if somebody, even the artist itself. mocks my music taste. Yeah, you take it personally. No. I love playing at her and hot pink. So don't be so hard on yourself. I love hopping. So I thought that was my worst. I just thought that was like the worst tweet because I took it personal. I was like why is Dojo cat say and also she made she didn't touch grass with her loved ones. No, she's. She's on tour. Sorry. Last night you daughter. You were awesome. And I love you so much. But you had a bad tweet.
(Liz and Jaden) But it was a badger. She had a couple of tweets. I thought the other ones were funny. I thought I don't know what to add on the trivia episode was so fun. I heard one about kittens. Why are you calling yourself? I agree with you call yourself a kitten. You'd really like to get a job certainly. Help your parents and like pay your phone bill. Or get off your phone and I agree with her.
(Liz) So my 10th anniversary of this tweet is When Rita Ora said if this tweet gets like 10,000 reblogs I'm gonna drop my new single this was in 2013 I love this tweet and then it only got 100 And then she go and then the next winner is oh my god guys like I would never post this like I got hacked.
(Jaden) I think you mean best tweet
(Liz) No, you're right. It is the best. Like So one verse And it's funny. Okay, I think this one's close. Mostly because mine doesn't fall within the rule.
(Jaden) Yeah, if yours was within the rules, I just had to bring them up. Universally. I thought about I had an honorable mention of when Elon Musk did that like Twitter poll and was like, if, like more people say yes, like, I will step down as the CEO of Twitter. And then someone was like, like he obviously more people said yes. And then somebody was like, Wait a second, you should only take into account for a premium verified users because they're the only ones with like actual stake and no, read out the trolls and bots. And he was like, huh, yes, we're very good point. And that was just a moment that just like, eughh
(Liz) Who's paying for Twitter blue? You know, you're not even Twitter blue anymore? Expert me. Anyways, because it falls within the
(Jaden) Yeah, I think I went by default, but if yours was within yours would have taken the cake.
(Liz) Unfortunate. diva of the year
(Jaden and Liz) I think we have the same person? You go, No, you go. No, you go. No, you go. June say no, you say it. I feel like we're gonna have different ones. We probably have different ones go towards things. I was. Listen, I hate him. I just don't know. Reporter like, I can't say that. But like, literally a political vote like as political reporters.

The thing is, I feel more comfortable saying that because the internet doesn't agree with us. Yeah. Then and under, so you know, I don't feel comfortable when I don't feel comfortable. It just gives me more power. Sure. It's got a good punchable celebrity. I've a really good one. Okay, so here's Morgan Wallen, and then underneath that I wrote all of the festival horses, attendees.

(Liz) I swear to God, it was last year was so long. It's been so long to get into the end. Here.
(Jaden) It's been such a long year.
(Liz and Jaden) We've only gotten closer in Jaden. That's about sleeves Come on. Oh don't make me blush on Houselights but um yeah, you'll take the cake okay, because we're not sure about my yeah sure if there's any ambiguity I was like wait I'm not 100 Like percent confident on like how to pronounce ambiguity it was good. Err Song of the Year minus rush which was one that song followed me everywhere I went boys the liar. That's a good one and nice so general consensus everyone agrees with that but like Rush is so excited I really associate that song with you it's me It's like my favorite song ever. I suppose that was a number one on my Spotify rap. Yeah, that was crazy. And I realized I always listened to it on the TV. Because we like dance to it is Miss Aleksey Luke's syndrome, Spotify round, so, but I feel like we both have really tie ties. Because yours has more like relevance to society as I heard it live last night and and the sun you can't hear anymore. Like anymore after this year. Mine is what was I made for by Billy. Oh my god, you win
(Liz) I hate that song so much. It's so slow. And I saw this two times the other day of her like explaining like, she's like, Oh, I could have singing like this. And I was like, I couldn't sing lose. Like, whatever. It's just like, it just felt like it was just like how to be like super slow. And I'm like, that is how you sing every song. It's such a sketch you it's such a skip. And she was trying to like that like oh yeah, couldn't say and so whenever it was, you sing every song one note. Yeah, you have one style of singing bro. Yeah, anyways, I just hate people who are pretentious about the wrong things. Yeah, I just think that's what was your mind was flowers by Miley Cyrus, but oh, that's a good one too, because that one's punchable that song.
(Jaden) Yeah, but honestly, it's, you haven't heard it as much as yours.
(Liz) And I saw a tweet the other day and it was like she was tweeting again about flowers. She's like, I can find myself flowers. And it was like, and someone quoted it was like, Girl We get it. We're done. Alright. Oh, I'll take the cake. movie of the year.
(Jaden) Mine's personal
(Liz) This No, this was just like culturally Barbie. It like took over everything.
(Jaden) And I just love that movie. To my core. There's something about just like cocaine, or silly cocaine or just like, I don't know, it's so gory that like, maybe I shouldn't be like saying no. And like, like, I've watched it three times. Wow. Like yaou've watched it three times. Yeah. I've only only seen Why watch it with my lovely co workers. Nice. I watched it with my roommates the day before. Which is there's a funny story. There's this at least it's just she made these plans with like, everyone like, like 20 people got state news that we're all gonna go and watch this movie. And then my roommates the night before, it was like, oh, like, we want to go see it. And then I was like, okay, yeah. I was like, wait, I kind of have to actually haven't seen it. And so I just told was before. Yeah. Oh, because I can't keep it secret, everybody. I did. So this is me saying it. And then I introduced my dad to it and he loved it. So it was a dad movie. It's such a dad movie. And I think that's why I like it to just feel like a little bit like a dad personality sometimes. That's fun. So there's that.
(Liz) Um, my worst Tiktok trend is when people make water. You know, I'm talking about like, they put all the flavors into it. It's like really gross. Um, yes, sir.
(Jaden) No, I hate that. I'm my worst. Tiktok Trenton was girl dinner. Really? Tell me just think it's harmful. Yeah, it started off. I don't think it started off bad. I was just like, oh, yeah, we're so silly. Having a bunch of new I understand the girl dinner as like, we're all ordering five apps for the table. And that's girl dinner to me. Right? Or like, every I don't know. Or like you don't have any groceries in the house and you like have your girl in the room gather a bunch of but you're really eating disorder promoting Li and you know what tick tock is really bad about that tick tock loves to push that content. And it's just really like, and like most of us are so young. You're a girl dinner should not be a vape and a Diet Coke. That's not That's not real dinner. That's not girls. Feed yourself. We're vegan, you know, and then it was just as so quickly became that and some of them were funny. Oh, yeah. Some of them are funny, but Overall don't love I just don't love the prospect of gendering dinners. To where it's not enough food is for girls because we've been thrown off yeah. Enough with that. And that I'm like also just like, do I love a cheese word? Yes. Oh yeah.
(Liz) Do I'd love just like a cheese sick to like, fill me up for like five. Like just for like the day and then I come home and I'm gonna literally have to try one company. That's fine. That's like like, that's the thing. It's like we all go through phases. We have like, little snacks, but I felt like it was almost like romanticizing it. It was it was weird. It got out of control quickly. Yeah, it got picked up by the wrong people. Yup. Yeah, so I agree with yours. But yours just like gross It's so gross and like the the people who are doing it were like really cringe to like it was like those Millennial Moms their daughter just drink water. You don't have to have like your skinny mermaid syrup. That was like the common like thing that they like, I don't know why it was called that. But yeah, it was like this weird blue goo look and I just You can have my honorable mention was those like tick tock lives where? AI and video game characters. That was more amusing though. No, like, honestly, like every one of them like when it was released. Every one of them I would like stop and watch for as long as I'm like, so like, what's their stick? And then I move on.
(Jaden and Liz) I don't know it just gave me the heebie jeebies this AR scary.Yeah, like the video the robots talking? I think a little weird. Yeah, I think that everyone should be scared by AI this girl doesn't love technological advancement now. What if I can help you? Okay, I just think that it could also be disastrous for society. And it's gonna get out of control. This is like it's getting this is getting anyway to getting to a weird place. How I'm gonna. Yeah, we've like really covered What's your strangest fear? We didn't pick a winner. Oh I'm gonna go with the water. Okay, cuz like you. Yeah, no, that's gross. Mine's more serious. Mine's more like, no. Yeah. It brought us down the wormhole. Yeah. So yeah, you could have it.
(Liz) The strangest feud was also recently, Selena Gomez with her concerned fans after she posted it with Benny Blanco and then immediately like Angelina edits. Yeah, it was like she just had like a rough couple of days where she was just like, making fun of her fans on her Insta comments. And also making fun of Justin and then going in like Angelina edits on Tik Tok. Yeah, girl What are you doing? Yeah, I just thought it was a Jolina edits such That's what gets me it's I wish we had like a screen to like show because it wasn't really good at it. It was bad. It was it was a bad analyst showed it to me guys. It's hilarious. It's so funny. I wish picture transition
(Jaden) essentially when we have our podcast with like, that's a video and we could be like, No, like in the future. Yeah, like in the future. We're manifesting. And then we like yeah, let's pull it up. Like and it's gonna be great. Oh, my stream was fueled was Kourtney and Kim Kardashian because it was just stupid. It's like shadow users. This was like fine. I think it's just like normal sister. Because the next thing is some celebrities you care about the least. Yeah, I think that could also go for like something that I care about the least but it was so all over the internet and I was like, Guys, I had my wedding in Italy. Did I say you are copying me by having you like your wedding in Italy? And it was all started because like it's like you're you guys are rich obviously. Their wedding day the adults saying Ivana seemed photoshoot after Dolce and Gabbana sponsored Courtney's wedding. What a non-problem to have serious non-problem. Shut up. Shut up. I just thought it was strange.
(Liz and Jaden) Yeah, that is strange. Once. Okay, what do you think is stranger? Yours? It's just she's so weird. No, that was just straight. The Jolina ad. It was just strange. Mine is more just like shut up. Yeah, it's just I'm a little intrigued. Like, I want to hear. I want to know more like, what's the, you know,
(Liz) I cared about the lease was when that beauty influencer was like doing the mascara on tick tock. But there were like, patients that she was like wearing lash extensions. Like, everybody was like, really pissed off. And I was like, that's a really good one. Because who cares? Who's like who's taking this girl's word as Bible in the first place? Yeah, this is spike. It was like the Explorer. I was reading your late Rolling Stone under Columbo, which is so funny. And it was like it really exposed to the truth in advertising. I'm like, there is no truth. It's advertising. That's the whole thing. Yeah, anyways, it's pure. Maybe I do hear about it. I got really passionate. That's fair. That's fair.
(Jaden) My celebrity news I cared about the least is when Olivia Rodrigo accidentally followed Joshua Bassett on Instagram. Oh, yeah, she probably, um, like recently, Jimmy Kimmel, which is what reminded me about it. I was like, no one cares. No, but like people did. But like people really didn't. It's like, yeah, girls anymore. She was stalking her ex as we all as we literally. And that's why nobody cares. Because like, it's so and she every male of him and like the reason was a big deal is because she doesn't follow anyone on Instagram. I'm also like, follow people.
(Liz and Jaden) I hate when like celebrities and follow people on Instagram. You're not all that you're not above anything. She's like, Yeah, just like feeling like keep our social media that's not beyond healthy like everybody else. That's why that's just like not why you do it. Yeah, it's, we know that you have a second law Instagram account where you follow, right? Follow your friends don't be I just think this is not like the point that I was trying to make with it. But this is so annoying. Follow to follow your friends, follow your parents follow things that you care about. Know if the world doesn't make you less cool that you have that you don't follow anyone on Instagram. What is your feed look like? Is it just Instagram suggested? Right? It's like Instagram, like their main account? And also if you follow people on Instagram, then it wouldn't have been such a big deal that you follow Joshua Bassett? Yeah, for like a minute. But also, it's like we've all been there. And like I've also had people like stalking. I've never accidentally clicked follow I'll tell you I've accidentally clicked like, oh, 10 those. Oh, 10 those. I've had someone I was showing someone else someone's Instagram once and I was like down, like down. And they liked it. And I was like, Whoa, you're you get revoked a phone privileges. Like they laid it on purpose for you. Not on purpose. But he's still like, I've never shown you anything on Instagram ever again. Ya know, like to this day to look it up on your phone. To this day. I'm like, I'm like no hands. No hands. Me and Alex are actually stalking this one person on Instagram day in the app. And that's crazy. And then she on LinkedIn. I said you made it worse now. Like they're gonna ever happen to you. Has anyone ever accidentally liked your Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think it's funny. I I'm just like, Oh my God. They're obsessed with me. Oh, yeah. Well, I even get that like when it's like, tick tock like, oh, this person's viewed your profile. I'm like, wow, you talk to us on Oh, yeah, I do. That's whenever you look at someone's tick tock profile. Yeah, I do it. You just very calculated. Okay. Like, I want them to know. Interesting, but I looked. I think it's fun. Then you look at my fan fan. No, but this was like, out of the blue. Like this girl from high school that was like, mine was like an ex friends like mom. Nice. That's awesome. It was so so that's a really good view to have. Yeah, it was a it was an Instagram like, Oh, wow. Do you think like she was on her mom's and stuff? No, like, that's like, no feed us or you think like, moms talk as much as we do. I don't my mom. Yes. Does your mom stalk? I'm sure she does. Yeah, I'm sure she does.
'
(Liz) Okay, we have like two more. So let's like, you know, Oh, which one do we care about? I think that we just went on a whole thing about Instagram. So I'm gonna give that to you.
(Jaden) Okay, sounds good.
(Liz) Because it's so true. Nobody cares. No Instagram likes follows whatever. Oh, yeah. And just like people who like oh, your ratios off like yours? No, it doesn't matter non influence or it doesn't matter.
(Jaden) Please, like, use that brainpower towards anything else. who's like, in assignments? Looking at your profile, like oh my god, and she follows more. No one cares about you. No one cares about you. People do care about Olivia Rodrigo. But this is more for like, Olivia if you just follow people. Anyways, no. PR moved by a celebrity
(Liz) Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Her whole relationship. Yeah, I don't think he's here. I think it might be PR just because of how much they profit off of his podcasts get so much. I mean, like she didn't need any help. Let's be honest. And honestly, he didn't need help either. Like, anyway so I feel like the he's like doing super well for himself. The NFL was like totally like, all over it like playing Taylor Swift like turning the camera towards her and like all this stuff. Like, they literally like changed the NFL like low Go.
(Jaden) Maybe, maybe she did a little bit because she needed a good boyfriend after Matty Healy
(Liz and Jaden) Maybe. And people were all over her for like the whole like whatever which was valid which is valid which is valid and only exacerbated by her time interview. I love Taylor curl takes from Swifties lately on Twitter regarding that, but regarding, like, just about like Taylor Swift and like her had just I don't know, like white feminism just more like, just like excusing her behaviors and her behavior. Yeah, like saying that she's like this like, profit. Oh, that's weird. Weird. She definitely has a weird cult following. Yeah. Like, and I'm like part of it, but like, I feel like I'm a chill part. I like something. I don't think I'm a part of the cult following, necessarily. Yeah, I listen to all music. I like her. I like her a lot. I was out there as tour. We were a Paris tour. We got a bunch of friends. It was beautiful. It was actually terrible because we didn't want so far we've like looped around the stadium, but it was fun. We got we got her stepson
(Jaden) my best pure home miner about Jacob awardee. So when Jacob elordi shot one thing on the one thing on the mind, if you look at me and Liz is ticked off Tim's it's a lot of that. It's a lot of Jacob elordi saying that he's never heard of Elvis until the lowest.
(Liz) Do you think that's PR?
(Jaden) Yeah.
(Liz) That's so funny.
(Jaden and Liz) People loved it, including me. It might have not been here, but it was good. It was it was everywhere. So like it would make everyone it was just in direct comparison to Austin Butler saying that he didn't speak to his family for a year when filming Elvis. And he's like, yeah, no, I didn't even know who Elvis was.
(Liz) Which is so valid because I think that like that was my introduction, though. Elvis mind was like, I wasn't really like, like, I didn't know like, my family wasn't an Elvis and then like, we watched it on social. I was like, Oh, this sick.
(Jaden) It's just I think it was funny. Oh, my honorable mention is it's honorable because I don't mean like it's I love here. No, but I'm objective. Oh, is that I don't think this was actually PR. But I think it was pure that it was posted just northwest being mean to her mom. I think it was it just brought good light to the Kardashians. Yes. Everyone was just like
(Liz) But also we have to remember like, who she's raised by. And like how deep like her nipple baby ties go. When she got just me like a mean, kid. No, I think she is. I think she is. I think I like it. I wouldn't be so scared of her. Yeah, if I met him I met Northwest. If I was her babysitter, I'd be terrified. But she gave such a good interview.
(Jaden) Did you see the interview that she like I was was some sort of magazine she like sat down with them. That's so cool. Oh, Jesus. And she was like, talking about how, like, I don't know, she has like these goals and what she wants to do and how she's like, getting money just for she's doing like a lemonade stand and how she's Whoa.
(Liz) We just We just realized how far we went over time. But anyway,
(Jaden) I'm done with that.
(Liz and Jaden) I'm gonna go with Travis Kelce. Yeah, fair. And the best podcast the year Houselights Yeah, that's yeah, I did a similar thing. I said, Oh, I saw him. You know, I thought I said I said state news podcast network. Oh, so true. Everybody's I don't want to just give it all to me. I just thought about saying Houselights Shout out to the state news podcast network. All of you guys. Oh, you guys. And it's one of my winning but I think I won the most. Like, I think you did. We okay. Did you take out the best Daily Mail headline because I didn't I mine wasn't very good. And American divorce a, a devastating family rift and a life and exile? No, not Harry and Megan. Henry the Eighth cause one of the biggest crisis is history. No, they were dabbling in history. I know. That's why I put mine. That's a circle. That's also central long headline. I know like, have a plot twist in your headline. SEO is not picking that up. Yeah, I literally see a thing or two about SEO to Dailymail literally, Well, anyways, wow. What a great year. It's been a great year. I've had such a good time podcasting with YouTube and I've had such a great time podcasting. I am so thankful that I've been brought on as a co host. It's been a great semester. It's been a great year. And yeah, then yeah, love. Wow. I love surely we will see you next time. Yeah, signing off. Bye
