(Liz) What about you? I didn't mean to like make, make no

(Alex) I concur. I don't think I'm an online person. For the most part, I have Twitter. But that's mostly just for like, I post my story. And then I kind of log off like I don't really see. Or I scroll through it nervously trying to see if like, somebody else wrote something I want to be writing. Yeah, but you know, I hear things. See, like, hold your breath while you're on can be stressful. But you know, I hear things I like, people tell me what's going on? I think I'm pretty versed in entertainment.

(Liz) Okay, well, we'll put that to the test. Exactly. The one thing I wanted to talk about beforehand, and we're gonna put it with a little warm up question. And so we can get the, you know, the vibe of how we're going to do this. We're gonna talk about little Tay being back. And they really are my first question is, for both of you, who is little time? You have 10 seconds to write it down.

(Anthony) How specific art would you want us to be?

(Liz) How specific?

(Jaden) Um, incredibly specific. And yeah, if you think it is

(Jaden and Liz) 10 seconds as you can, as much as you know about little Tay, I want to hear

(Liz) He took specifici said to the nun

(Jaden and Liz) I also think it's worth to mention that Anthony is typing on his phone, Alex's writing it down analog style, you know, transparency reasons. All right, you're both done now. Alex is done writing.

(Liz) All right. I'm reading your answer. Anthony. I think you should go first.

(Anthony) Okay, so I'll put a young Asian girl was started a music career after being up there and now for a while.

(Liz) That is, you know, what, that does speak to her present. Would you give that appointees but I wouldn't I you know, I wanted to know a little bit about her rise, you know, her rise to fame.

(Anthony) I actually can't remember. Like, how did she below I can't remember.

(Alex) The I know nothing about her rise. But I do know, most of what I know comes from, I don't know, if you guys a couple of weeks ago, they're like her brother died. I read that, that she's some sort of like child star. I don't know if she was like in like movies or just like a one of these Internet people. But her brother died very suddenly. And there was like an allegation of like abuse by the parents. And it was like one of these like, child star things where like she was maybe like, the parents were kind of using her for money. And that's what I read. That's all I know. I don't know much about her work. But I think I know more about the circumstances surrounding it.

(Liz) So to inform you, she was also rumored to be dead, as well, along with her brother, just a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. And now she is not dead. She's right. And she came. She released a song called sucker for green. Whoa. But money? Yeah. For money. Yes. So I thought it was pretty cool.

(Jaden) I think Anthony gets the point. I think Anthony gets the point. Because Alex was a little bit behind in the information. But I liked the part about the brother that was specific. Yeah, that was a good detail, I think is that

(Anthony) Did she actually did lose her brother. I think she

(Jaden and Alex) I thought that the dad faked both of their deaths. I read it in LA Times. I think that's like a legit outlet. Yeah, maybe I'm the one who didn't get the point all along.

(Everyone) And you know, what, whose point is it anyways? Because it was just a normal question. True. But Anthony gets the point. So why would he get a point for the world? of essays then? Okay, fine, fine, fine. We'll start over. Now. We're changing the rules, or changing the rules. And you know, I'm really upset about it. You know, we weren't gonna write anything down before and then we changed it five seconds before. So let's get into it. Let's just get into it.

(Anthony, Alex and Liz) I do not know. All right. Anthony, your answer? I don't know. I look but I don't know. Lol. Well, at first I was concerned that I wouldn't know. But then I remembered that if it's if it's in the state news, I'm gonna know it. It's Malibu Barbie. Look at that. It's in the state news. It's gonna remember that was good. Is that the only reason that you know it? Because he wrote us a news article. Yeah, I remember and it was like right when like the whole thing with the Queen died and everything.

Once again, this is like, I don't know if you guys have seen Slumdog Millionaire where there's just like weird reasons that he knows all the answers, but I feel very lucky today.

What was Armie Hammer accused of following a series of leaked DMS. Your time started Your time starts now. Me shaking his head. He's easy. He's He's concerned about my room.

(Anthony, Liz and Jaden) I like to make a D upset. He's trying to think of the piece that he read but wonderful. You come ready for it? Please don't. I think y'all are done.

(Liz, Anthony and Alex) I'm good. Okay, you're good. Okay. Anthony. Not sure not sure. We didn't get we didn't get this done. Wow. Look at me go. It's I think it was I don't think he ever committed an act of cannibalism necessarily. But I think he was just like very much into it. And like intending to, you know, that is right.

(Liz and Alex) That is correct. Yeah. That was great. He's a great actor. I love the social network. But obviously I support ya know, he played to people. That's bonkers. How do you do that? Yeah, comes from two events like double as good. It's crazy. He was gonna call me by your name too. Unfortunately, he is in the cannibalism. So that's what the DMS read. From Jaden, your, your next question.

(Jaden) Fill in the blank from this quote from Dota cat. If you call yourself a blank or blank, that means you need to get off your phone, get a job, and help your parents with the house. This was a tweet.

(Anthony) I know be exact. We just don't.

(Liz) you're gonna picture it. You'll see it. See the vision? 10 seconds. 10 seconds

(Jaden and Liz) it's just like, This one's hard. This one's hard. This is yeah, this is more difficult.

(Liz) Honestly, I didn't know the answer until Jaden told me

(Everyone) Well, no points for lives. No points on this one. Because is this referring to? Can we just talk to her fan base? Right? I'm not at liberty to disclose that. Can we know the date of the tweet if there was sort of a relevant thing somebody might be called? I'm not at liberty to disclose that. And give a time range? I honestly don't know. Like last month, yeah. Oh, it was recently it was recent. ) I think it's been 10 seconds. Yeah. The answer? Well, dude, what would you say before we well, I thought neither of you. Have any like shot like the dark side? I don't know if people are calling themselves in last month. I don't know. I don't know the exact word, but I'm pretty sure it's about our fan base. I just don't remember the exact words. I don't know if it'd be enough to get appointment. Oh, is it like other like people who like music other than her? Like Swifties?

(Jaden, Anthony and Liz) The answer is kittens because her fans start calling themselves kittens as the name for their fan base. Like the stands of her and honestly, she ate with that. In my opinion, I agree with you. Get a job. If you're a fan of me, you need to get off your phone and get drunk and hope your parents can help you parents with the house and don't buy my music just don't do. And then she came up with the same same music. She was like, Guys, it's gonna be real hard. This time. It's gonna be real. And then it was just like this planet. Her was so good for her.

(Jaden and Liz) Anyway, we've tangent we're talking like a devil. Right? Yeah, but like not really. It's, um, like a devil theme, but it's still pop music. Yeah, it's not like edgy. I thought...screamo doesn't justify the amount of no and like making fun of her fan base. I don't think it means all that. The next question. My next question is what's more of a statement but name two exes? girlfriends are rumored exes of Pete Davidson.

(Liz and Jaden) They're both on a roll here. There. We saw a lightning I think this one I think I made this one pretty easy. I at first said three. I'm ready.

(Alex) Google Search kind of move on in there.

(Everyone) Are you ready? Do you know No. I don't know. Anthony. Do you know I don't. My guess is the note boys. But I don't know if that's right. Because I remember the was the answer. I don't think they're BuzzFeed The answer is the Try Guys. Yeah. stay committed. What do you mean adultery? Yes, yeah, one of them's with one of the girls that he worked with which is why which was why it was like a public right like a subordinate Yes. If I'm not mistaken wasn't his whole thing like being very loyal? Very, very John Mulaney of him to do true true and it blew up so crazy. I didn't even know what a word until that moment. One of them the one guy with the glasses like the blonde guy and then you Jean and like I like knew them separately, but I'd never watched the Try Guys before watch them. And I was like, I didn't really care and then I was like, scandal and I'm gonna watch the videos now to like understand the background.

(Liz) Because yeah, all right. Next question. This I like this one. Named to celebrity slash influencer boxing matches

(Everyone) Those that have happened that have happened or are planned in the future Anthony's face. Many that you can name yes, I don't even need it. I'm ready.

(Liz) Okay. One that you didn't do was planned. Elon Musk versus Mark Zuckerberg.

(Anthony and Liz) I think they shut it down. Because one of them was training. Yeah. It's like doing like jujitsu. He'd say Elon Musk went about it. So they canceled I believe about it. I believe that. I believe that

(Liz) I was talking to someone about it. And I was like, Zuckerberg is not going to win because Musk is just like, angry. But then they were like no Zuckerberg, he's like training and we're like, and so maybe yeah, Musk wasn't with

(Jaden) I saw I saw a lot of comments here and that was like Elon Musk just thinks it's like oh funny. I'm so cool. I'm gonna fight but like Zuckerberg has been waiting to kill someone

(Liz) to get you back in the game because you gave so many I'm also gonna have you at 3.5 Yeah, so that you and Alex for time.

(Everyone) Pressures back pressures. Can you know I gotta keep it interesting. kept up with the Logan Paul Dylan Danis drama.

Yes. And who is this Dylan?

(Anthony) Dylan Danis he's a Bellator MMA fighter. But he's kind of dove into influencer boxing scenes. He's been beefing with the Paul brothers for a minute.

(Alex) And he's like an actual fighter like by trade.

(Anthony) Yeah, like he's MMA MMA guy but they got him in the box and we've been talking a lot of jumps like Logan and then it was situation him and Logan was the fight beginning of the year, but Logan got injured in WWE also.

(Liz) I didn't know that this was going to be either of your guys special interest. Yeah, so it's like a whole thing.

(Anthony) And then since he got injured Dylan was gonna fight KSI But Dylan unfortunately lost his father his father passed away so he didn't end up going through training camp and then months later now now he's gonna fight Logan plans to fight Logan They don't know if he's gonna drop out or not.

Apparently he hacked Logan's fiance's Snapchat and released open like a private video of her talking about Yeah, how she was she had missed intercourse if to be as PG as possible.
