Lovely book Club.
0:09
Foo.
0:10
Sure this is a Miss
0:12
Piggy.
0:13
You just see this.
0:14
CEO of High Hurt Bob.
0:17
I'm sure he's expecting me.
0:19
I'm his three o'clock.
0:21
Let me just call in right now if you can have
0:24
a seat right there on the couch there, missus
0:26
peg, that's a Piggy.
0:28
Okay, I would take your
0:30
Lotte.
0:32
There is a there's some instant coffee
0:34
in the cupboard.
0:35
What is this trouf was born?
0:42
Hey, Bob, Yeah, I've got Piggy
0:44
here. Say here for a meeting. Okay,
0:47
yeah, you can go right on in, Miss pig.
0:50
Mercy and the Lotte please.
0:56
Miss Piggy, Bob Pittman, Bob,
0:59
it's.
0:59
Such a poo leisure to meet you.
1:01
You know.
1:02
As CEO of iHeart, I think I can safely
1:04
say you are the first pig that
1:06
I've ever had in my office.
1:08
As it should be.
1:10
And I've met Harvey Weinstein.
1:13
You know, I heard through
1:15
the great Vine of Hollywood that
1:18
you were.
1:18
Dying for me to have a show.
1:21
Well, you know, Miss Piggy, podcasts are so
1:23
hot right now. They are the future. You know,
1:25
iHeart reaches over one and
1:27
twenty percent of Americans every
1:30
single week and from their living rooms to their
1:32
cars.
1:32
Now, I was thinking to show basically
1:35
it's a lot about me and my shopping habits,
1:37
and I interviewed designers like
1:40
Vivy and Westwood, and maybe
1:44
I have started just a Parker on
1:46
But then it's mostly about
1:49
me interviewing eligible frogs
1:52
and talking to other amazing, successful
1:55
sexy men like yourself.
1:58
Miss Piggy. I think that's sounds super fun.
2:01
Now, I just want to stop you right there for a
2:03
second. We hear at iHeart. We really try
2:05
to appeal to as universal of an audience
2:07
as possible, so I wonder if that
2:09
idea might be a little bit niche maybe
2:12
something a little more universal.
2:14
Everyone loves Piggy, of.
2:16
Course, everyone does love Piggy. But I
2:18
do think that maybe the frog angle
2:21
and the pig angle might be a little
2:23
hard because so many of our listeners
2:25
are human.
2:27
What you're saying, the human man is
2:29
not attracted to Miss Piggy. I'll
2:31
let you know I've been with the best of them,
2:34
George Clooney, Brad.
2:36
Pitch to me, shut on me.
2:39
They've already said yes.
2:40
In fact, they're in my DMS.
2:42
They're begging me, begging me.
2:44
No, those would be great guests to have on
2:46
your show.
2:47
I've already made a contract myself
2:50
for me, typed it up.
2:52
What do you think of this?
2:54
And this number?
2:57
Okay, ten thousand dollars a
2:59
year? Wow?
3:00
Okay, well, Bob,
3:03
I would hate to do this, but I
3:05
saw you leaving Mammo Fuku having
3:08
the bo Sam with Gonzo,
3:11
and I will go to pick Weekly.
3:14
You sign my country.
3:16
I was supposed to be a secret Mondev. Nobody's
3:19
supposed to know about me and Gonzo's dinners.
3:22
I would even want to know what you were discussing
3:24
Gonzo's dang to me.
3:26
You know what, miss Piggy, you know, I think, actually that sounds
3:28
like a great idea. Frogs then the whole thing. Yeah,
3:30
that's a great, great, great podcast.
3:33
I've shut it and we can make a deal.

4:25
just a few minutes. Far want to check in, Hey.
4:29
Best friend, Hey, one of my best
4:31
friends in the whole world. Have you been this past week?
4:33
It's been a crazy It's been a crazy week. Fashion
4:36
Week New York is alive. It's electric going
4:39
on. So what shows have you been to?
4:41
So a ton triple mail XL.
4:44
I went to the Dockers Show. I
4:46
walked on the Dockers Show.
4:48
I saw you at a men's warehouse closing actually.
4:51
The closing show. It was a dinner. Men's
4:54
warehouse had a super intimate dinner catered
4:57
by Applebee's ex lover
4:59
boy, and I just, yeah,
5:01
I have.
5:02
Any na shrubs for this soberful?
5:05
Yeah, it was imitation Scotch with
5:08
shrubs.
5:10
Anything grosser?
5:12
Yeah? What shows have you watched?
5:13
It? Well? So I went to the Gauntlet Cheng
5:15
show.
5:16
I went to that show once two years
5:18
ago.
5:19
Yeah. It's one of those things where I just I'm on the list at
5:21
this point and they're kind of like your grandfather,
5:23
I'm grandfathered in and they need bodies. Yeah,
5:25
And it was like this thing where
5:28
it was like obviously I always like standing,
5:30
and then like there
5:32
was like iPad girls in this space like
5:35
check in with to be like get your seat,
5:37
and then like I saw like this
5:39
girl like ask to be like,
5:42
oh, do you have a seat, like and then she's like, no, you're standing.
5:44
It's kind of like probably gonna be standing to but you know, I'll just check
5:46
to make sure. And then I'm like, so, yeah, the last name.
5:48
And then she's like Beatbebepepe,
5:51
so you're gonna be standing, And I was
5:53
like, oh, totally absolutely, I love. I
5:55
love to stand. You can see so much more
5:57
when you stand.
5:58
Sitting is so over it being
6:00
kills no.
6:01
I mean, first of all, city is literally bad for your health.
6:03
It's the new smoking. And when you're
6:05
sitting, you're not seeing like the full outfit
6:07
as much. You're getting like the crotch pov.
6:10
Oh, it's almost it's perverted.
6:11
And also when you're standing you can turn around,
6:14
so I was actually kind of in the middle. There
6:16
was like several aisles and I was in between two miles, so
6:19
I could literally do a three hundred and sixty
6:21
degree turn. I'm getting way more views
6:23
than the sitters, So actually huge
6:25
hack if you're going to go to a fashion show
6:28
stand.
6:28
Yeah.
6:29
Anyway, the clothes were amazing two
6:31
or to four. I'm so proud of the designers
6:33
and all the work they put in over the years. Beautiful
6:36
Yeah, dresses.
6:37
Okay, So anything going on your mood
6:39
board?
6:40
Yeah, I mean I don't
6:42
think so. It's very like I.
6:44
Mean the garment chain show. I remember going to Gauzy,
6:47
very gaussy of
6:50
the boots.
6:50
You were like wow, but you were like, I don't know if I could
6:53
roll it off.
6:54
I think it's like people would be probably too turned
6:56
on.
6:56
Oh absolutely, it was scary.
6:58
Anyway, fashion Week is amazing and
7:01
it's so funny, like see people like really
7:03
all fashioned out, like going to their one
7:06
event. Yeah, And it was like I saw this
7:08
couple get off at Midtown, which made me think
7:10
they're going to my favorite store, Nord Storm,
7:13
And the guy was in like a wool trench
7:15
and the girl was in Mary Jane's
7:18
and leather and skirts and they got out
7:20
and the guy started applying cologne.
7:22
Oh god, that's so sad. Yeah,
7:25
it's like reminds me of my friend Lily,
7:27
who actually didn't get into a party
7:29
this week and then I got into. It's actually
7:31
so sad.
7:33
That's a ghost story. Maybe save that for
7:35
the vik for the VI.
7:38
Scary chose
7:41
Halloween naboo.
7:42
Okay, we should talk about the biggest fashion
7:45
icon in the entire world.
7:46
She truly is a
7:49
ground breaking.
7:51
Groundbreakings,
7:54
ageless singer, entrepreneur,
7:57
feminist, eternal
7:59
fiance say.
8:00
Yeah, although now is
8:02
single right since twenty fifteen allegedly.
8:05
But girl, she
8:08
invented Carrie. She invented
8:10
like all women.
8:11
Honestly, she literally invented all women. She
8:14
invented like ironic self
8:16
beware, like satirization of
8:18
commininity, of like.
8:20
Being like I'm ridiculous and I need diamonds
8:22
and chanel.
8:23
Yeah, she invented like those
8:26
Jonathan Nadler pill pillows.
8:28
Oh that's like, can I get valume please?
8:33
She is our first non human
8:35
subject.
8:36
Yeah, this is going to be an interspecies
8:39
pod. She is our first
8:41
puppet. Yeah, this is huge. She's
8:43
our first pig.
8:47
She's all foam and no bullshit,
8:49
ladies and gentlemen, misss
8:52
Piggy.
8:53
And her book The Diva
8:55
Code.
8:56
Miss Peggy on Life, Love and tend.
8:58
Theatic Things Men crossed
9:00
out Frogs too.
9:03
This is also, you know, one
9:05
of her many books.
9:07
Yeah, she's got several in the stable.
9:09
How do we pick this one? Not to pray?
9:11
I think, you know, I bought this for my mom
9:14
in high.
9:14
School, okay, and then you had it lying around and
9:16
you were like, you need money, and you got it for me.
9:19
I actually didn't have it lying around that I reordered.
9:21
I think my mom has her own copy, okay.
9:24
Her well trodden copy.
9:26
Yeah, I think I was familiar with it, and
9:28
I think some it seemed the most
9:30
like classic Piggy. It's also early two
9:32
thousands, Piggy.
9:33
It's two thousand and nine, which you
9:36
really start to see in some of the references
9:38
in the book when she talks about iPods and.
9:40
BCBG and
9:43
you know, so it's like she has a cookbook if that's more
9:45
from the nineties, and that's like going for like
9:47
on eBay, I think like ninety.
9:50
Felt books, right, because
9:53
this was giving seven thirty two books so
9:57
the cover is that.
9:58
She has her strained hair and she has been it's.
10:00
Bangs with this like two thousands bang straightened
10:03
hair. It's feathering a little. It's almost like it
10:05
could if you kept going, you could get to a wolf cut in
10:07
a few years, do you know what I mean? And you could also face
10:09
framing.
10:10
It's not a Rachel because she is bangs,
10:12
but like Rachel, it's getting into
10:15
the waves of like kind of you know,
10:17
the Courtney Coxes and the classic
10:19
celebrity waves.
10:20
I watched that insane video that's
10:22
like huge, like YouTube Nerd that you sent.
10:24
Me, was like welcome to
10:27
Dan's.
10:30
Annie, and he's like surrounded by like so many Boba
10:32
fat heads in the background and he is doing
10:34
this full history of him speaking, which was really
10:36
interesting. But basically she kind of got
10:38
this razor bob in like nineteen eighty nine
10:41
that like lengthened over the course of the nineties,
10:43
but it's still like straightened. It's straight
10:45
bangs because she was doing way
10:47
more. She was almost like feathered and then doing like you
10:49
know, big kind of glamorous old Hollywood curls.
10:52
Yeah, like, well was first time with the cover and then we'll
10:54
go back. So she's in pearls because she's classic.
10:57
She's in like an angora pink
11:00
like fluffy vest.
11:01
It's also like this material it's
11:04
almost Shaneil esque.
11:05
It's Shaneely, but maybe not as shiny as
11:07
Shaneil. Huge flower,
11:10
which is very Carrage. This outfit.
11:13
She is very carry and we are because.
11:16
She's this voluminous feminine
11:18
like fifty skirt. Right, it's like.
11:20
Going tight and big and pearls
11:22
and saying, yes, this is glamour. Then it's like
11:24
opera gloves.
11:26
The over accestrization is very carry. And then
11:28
she's wearing a ring over the glove.
11:30
And I'll tell you this, it's an engagement
11:32
ring.
11:32
M hmm.
11:33
Remember no wedding ring.
11:36
It's really just crazy
11:38
to me.
11:39
Kermit never like sealed the deal.
11:41
They've never gotten married.
11:43
Yeah, I mean the thing about Puppets.
11:45
It's also the Raws and Rachel. It's like, once
11:48
they get married, where's the story?
11:50
Right? And I think that's why, like Disney
11:52
broke them up in twenty fifteen when they were doing
11:54
like a Muppets relaunch for Disney Plus or something.
11:57
Yeah, and I.
11:57
Watched the movies like with like Tina fe and Brenda
12:00
was reading some article and.
12:01
They were just like, you know, one thing Jim Henson always
12:03
said was get out of the character's way.
12:06
And it's a little bit just like you know what, like they
12:08
are muppets and you probably could have figured out ways
12:10
to just like have them still be
12:12
in their mode.
12:13
I think they're a way where we could have
12:16
given Piggy a marriage
12:18
and that it could have been like hean knows
12:20
it for some reason, Like it's just.
12:21
Like a little lazy. It's like The Simpsons is
12:23
still in the air. They're not being like and now they have to
12:25
get divorced because we've run out of ideas. It's
12:28
a little bit like there are some like a
12:30
suspension of disbelief with like characters
12:32
like this, because I will say Miss Piggy is
12:34
an invention.
12:35
She literally transcends
12:37
I think like cartoon yep
12:40
bits.
12:40
But like cartoons, it's kind of just like, yeah, you're
12:42
supposed to believe that she's the same age every year, like
12:45
she's not getting older. So what's with the fiction
12:47
of them getting divorced?
12:48
Because I watched this like interview
12:51
with her and it was about how like Miss pig
12:53
was fifty and Miss Piggy's like.
12:55
I'm twenty five.
12:56
Yeah, She's like, what do
12:58
you mean, misspeaking.
13:02
The only impression I can do that I've
13:04
I think really I've been prostracting
13:06
it for a while. So
13:09
just to start from we're gonna
13:12
jump into the divco but a little bit of history
13:14
here and like go through her.
13:16
Look.
13:16
So Jim Henson when
13:18
he was creating the Muppets, it was actually only
13:21
picked up by the UK because it was so
13:23
fucking weird.
13:24
That's so UK because this is the
13:26
thing. You know. I was actually talking about this with Michelle
13:29
Collins the other day on her pod. But
13:31
it's like America doesn't let
13:34
non like super conventional attracted
13:36
people be on TV, and so like Muppets
13:38
especially, they're just like freaked out by it. And like
13:40
that's why British reality shows are like
13:42
better because like they have like crazy people
13:45
on them.
13:45
Or that hilarious sitcom with that huge
13:48
woman Miranda.
13:49
Yeah we love her. Yeah, they
13:51
just like you have to just like be so fucking.
13:54
Fake, so fucking fake and pluck.
13:57
And plastic surgery eyes and veneered.
14:00
Pounds and it's like Miss Piggy
14:03
is like before you know, the Lizzo's.
14:09
She actually paved the way for women of sie
14:12
literally run.
14:16
It's like she is the first proud.
14:20
Curvy curvy Yeah, who
14:22
was not being like curvy as a joke because
14:25
like who else was even? I
14:27
mean, because like everyone who is famous in like fifties and sixties
14:29
was a fucking stick I know. I mean, I guess like may
14:31
West was curvy in some ways. May
14:33
West paved the way for Piggy.
14:35
Yeah.
14:35
But is it that thing where I feel like we've talked about
14:37
this, but people are always like Marilyn Monroe
14:40
was like actually a size zero, but in today's size
14:42
zero, that's twelve.
14:44
And today's in nineteen
14:46
fifty six, ized twelve is actually a size.
14:48
And you're like, wait, so I'm
14:51
lost. I'm actually lost now.
14:52
And I think Miss Piggy I didn't know
14:54
this. So her creator is this woman Bonnie Erickson, who
14:57
was like working for Jim Henson and he
14:59
said, I want you to make me three pigs
15:02
and she made like a male pig and
15:04
then she made Miss Piggy. But
15:07
the Piggy she made then, I mean, it's not
15:09
the Piggy of today.
15:10
No, And what did she name it?
15:12
Piggy?
15:13
Lee because she was a huge fan of
15:15
Peggy Lee. And then Peggy Lee actually
15:18
threaten to sue the threatened to
15:20
Jim Henson because she was just like, I'm
15:22
not a pig.
15:23
I'm not a pig. And it's like crazy. I
15:25
mean, that's so like fifties singer to
15:28
be like offended that there's like a puppet
15:30
of you. She's like, I'm a world class
15:32
sing a doll.
15:33
But you know, obviously it worked out in Miss Piggy's favorite
15:35
because if she was named Piggy Lee.
15:37
It would have kept her in the fifties. And again she's twenty.
15:39
Five, yes, and she's a contemporary figure who
15:41
evolves like with America.
15:43
And in this book is talking about blackberries
15:45
and BC beg right, Like if she was Piggy
15:48
Lee, it would be this like an
15:50
owl for a fat out, like.
15:52
She would have ever gotten to be the huge star
15:54
she was because she would have been too tight.
15:56
God intervenes, you know, everything happens
15:59
for a reason. Yeah, I love
16:01
me some Peggy Ly and she is so piggy,
16:03
She's so like sultry,
16:05
loud.
16:06
Well, funny thing about Miss
16:08
Piggy is she like wants to be Peggy
16:10
Lee. And she wants to be this
16:12
singer and this cabaret artist. But of course,
16:15
like she's always like too
16:17
much of a natural comedian and she's just like
16:20
she falls into the comedy of it is this.
16:21
Thought of her. It's like her character is someone
16:23
that's usually portrayed as like a
16:26
kooky side character, like maybe
16:28
a Samantha or fran
16:31
Fine, like someone who's like funny, ridiculous,
16:34
wants diamonds, but it's still the love interest
16:37
of the nanny.
16:38
Oh sorry, yes, of course, yes, yeah.
16:40
But it's rare that like a piggy
16:43
like character who's like silly and loves
16:45
chocolate and diamonds is still
16:47
the main love interest.
16:49
Well in the movie, I was kind of thinking of it
16:51
in this way. It's like she's kind
16:53
of like a drag queen in this way,
16:57
she's fabulous. She's doing this like satire
17:00
femininity and like consumerism
17:02
and commercialism and like you know, the fame
17:04
horneman, the like the desperation for celebrity,
17:07
but like she's making herself the butt
17:09
of a joke in the way that like you do
17:11
in drag as well, where it's like she's
17:13
always going for the laugh, you know.
17:16
Carol King you know what I mean. I
17:19
guess that Carol Amore,
17:23
Philis Diller, And
17:25
this is the thing, it's like, you can't
17:28
really be super hot
17:30
and super funny. No, sorry, Sarah Silverman.
17:34
Who's like the hottest, funniest
17:36
actor. Cameron Diaz.
17:38
Cameron Diaz, Actually you're right now, Cameron isn't. Jenny
17:40
McCarthy changed all that.
17:41
But the mold.
17:43
They did break the mold in this way,
17:45
but not in the like they're not
17:47
live acts. I guess it's different for them,
17:49
yes, to be like the full because
17:51
it's like I'm thinking, just back in seventies Land
17:54
Share for example, like
17:56
so glamorous, they work together
17:58
so sexy, hey, and like Share
18:01
is funny, but Cher's not really willing
18:03
to go all the way. She's not gonna be Chris
18:06
Sarley, Like she's not gonna make herself
18:09
the butt of the joke.
18:11
Canonically, the straight man was sonny sunny
18:14
and Share like he was silly, and she was I
18:16
roll girlfriend, right, which is funny
18:18
because it's like Piggy Eye rolls
18:21
in this whole book, if I'll read some she
18:23
ie rolls at Kermit, but
18:26
like Kermit is actually kind of
18:28
I don't know, the Woody Allen. He's
18:30
like the nerdy, nerdy
18:33
indie guy who's so like women
18:35
are crazy and I'm actually a genius,
18:37
but like you should trust me, Like she's the crazy
18:40
one.
18:40
Yeah.
18:40
No, he's always gaslighting Piggy.
18:43
Yeah, he's like this like manipulative
18:45
indie cook.
18:46
So here's sorrys
18:50
in Richwood. It's like I could really go
18:52
the fuck off about Kermit, Like and obviously
18:55
there be no Piggy without Kermit,
18:58
but you know I was watching him up It's Take Manhattan,
19:00
and you know he's.
19:04
Our jobs are fucking crazy
19:07
with the amount of research for this show. Wait,
19:09
did you see this scene where she gets
19:12
robbed, she.
19:14
Gets mugged, and she's chasing him in the park.
19:17
In the roller skates and then it's like she's life
19:19
size and she's and that was like.
19:21
She's borring Gregory Hines roller
19:23
skates and
19:25
it's actually so Zoey Dashanel
19:28
and Indy. Basically like Kermit
19:30
thinks Piggy leaves to go home and
19:33
he gets a job at this diner and
19:35
like starts like flirting with the daughter who's
19:37
so bangs and an aspiring fashion designer,
19:40
and they're like walking through Central Park, just
19:42
like talking about like life
19:44
and stuff, and Piggy is like spying and
19:46
being so and
19:49
then it's like she gets robbed and then she steals
19:51
this guy's roller skates still like starts skating
19:53
off of them, and he's being so like, well,
19:56
Piggy, she's just a friend, like bangs
19:58
girl and Hug and
20:01
it's like fuck off.
20:03
I guess I do think in this context
20:05
though, that Kermie is gaslighting the other girl
20:07
who probably thinks it's gonna be more absolutely,
20:10
but in his own way, he is just being like a dumbstricker
20:13
who's just like whatever.
20:14
Well yeah, and he also thought Piggy move so.
20:19
But that's why she likes him, is like because
20:21
he is kind of a simpleton sometimes and
20:24
she can manipulate him and order him around.
20:26
That's why it is all about where she's like I love
20:28
Chanell and Diamonds and is like
20:30
I want Brad Pitt, but like she
20:32
just flirts with like let's say, what era
20:35
is it. Maybe it's Johnny Cash, maybe it's best
20:37
Pit, but like she does want
20:39
her just a kind of indie.
20:41
Yes, Hug, She's she's
20:43
doing that character right, I mean, as I was saying,
20:45
she reminds me a friend of the podcast Cohen a little
20:47
bit, yes, who is a very contemporary figure,
20:49
and she sat her as a millennial culture like
20:52
on stage in this like fabulous like
20:54
musical persona. She's like making
20:56
yourself the butt of the joke, being like, oh, like you
20:58
know, isn't the desire for attention
21:01
that is so emblematic of her era? Like it's not
21:03
funny and I'm this like embodiment of that.
21:05
Of like millennial stuff, right, But she's
21:08
actually kind of satirizing that.
21:09
She's satirizing that, and like cat loves her boyfriend,
21:12
That's what I'm saying.
21:14
Just like like at the end
21:16
of the day, like their love is so strong
21:19
Cleo
21:29
Club. This is also
21:31
you know in this era, it's like the
21:33
eighties nineties, desire was like really
21:36
trendy to be like how can I change a man? You
21:38
know, like give the man a makeover, Like let's
21:40
put him in an HERMANI suit. And you
21:42
know this is such an example, and you
21:44
know she's basically listing all these
21:47
situations that frogs do and
21:49
how you can fix it.
21:51
Forty he's fashion changed one
21:53
word green. It's all he wears
21:56
formal and former casual casual
21:58
chic urban cheek suburban she informal
22:01
casual sub Saharan chic. No
22:03
matter the occasion, it's always the same
22:05
green outfit.
22:06
What voo need to do?
22:08
Look on the bright side.
22:09
If he's naturally green, this essentially
22:11
means he's not wearing anything.
22:13
So you know, it's like she's mad that he has bad style.
22:15
But then she's being like, isn't it hot that he's naked? Literally,
22:19
which is so this is very nineties of
22:21
like because like when did that kind of birthday
22:23
card culture come out of just being like women
22:26
in sert shoes here, like men
22:29
they're good for nothing. My body's a temple, and
22:31
like services are not open today, but all
22:33
I want is a hot man with like a chainsaw.
22:36
And like just being so like hmm
22:38
yeah, chocolate, need it now,
22:40
like and then all man cards
22:42
are so which she talks about here is very
22:45
like, uh, sorry, I'm always
22:47
a husband glued to my remote. Yeah,
22:50
I'll take you out to dinner, like men hate
22:52
restaurants and like all they do
22:54
is love watching TV, and now like
22:57
men are addicted to restaurants.
22:58
Exactly, and now women
23:01
actually are so into gadgets and they're
23:03
fit bit. Okay wait, the
23:05
part where she's like he's two
23:07
into gadgets is so yes,
23:10
I'm gonna try and do a pick impression. It's not Gonnass,
23:13
he's gauds. I can't do it.
23:15
Mine's too Yoda.
23:17
Let's do the exercise that they did, which.
23:19
Is ironic because Frank Oz does miss Piggy and
23:21
Yoda. Yeah, he's such a genius because
23:23
it's like, how does he do both? They're
23:25
so different. They are like similar, but they
23:27
are so different, and.
23:28
Yet he's also directed Father of the Bride. Yeah,
23:31
just like what a talented man.
23:32
You know, are still alive?
23:33
Yeah?
23:33
Wait, okay, wait, sidebar. Do you know how Jim Hanson
23:35
died? Really dark, it's really
23:38
random and scary. He literally got
23:40
strep throat what Yeah,
23:42
and he was like fifty two, like he
23:44
was completely fine, in totally good health,
23:47
and then like he was like, I have a sore throat,
23:49
but I think I'm fine. And he was like negotiena deal
23:51
with Disney at the time, like she didn't have
23:54
a lot of people said they thought he had
23:56
aids Lily, and it was the rumor
23:58
that his whole goal had to
24:00
dispel at the time because people like
24:03
you Italian Americans were
24:05
being so big at it.
24:08
I don't know, he likes puppet and
24:10
talking and voices.
24:12
Sorry, I'm a married.
24:13
Man and I don't play with puppets.
24:14
Okay, No, it was not. It's it
24:17
was randomly strapped and then like it turned to
24:19
pneumonia, like really quickly, and
24:21
he was just like thought he was fine. Them like two days later he
24:23
was coughing up blood. Goes to like Cedars Sinai
24:25
or whatever, and they like gave him antibiotics.
24:28
They killed the infection, but it was like too late. There were
24:30
so many abscesses and he just like so.
24:33
Stop And it's
24:35
not funny. I'm just saying. The homophobia
24:37
at the time.
24:39
Was also I
24:41
think he was straight.
24:41
He had a wife, he was straight.
24:43
Okay, and who knows what he did in his free time.
24:45
And it's actually not my business.
24:47
It's none of my business.
24:48
I'm saying. According to Wikipedia,
24:50
it was strapped throat, so like if your throat
24:53
is sore, basically you're gonna die and
24:55
go to the hospital immediately. Okay.
24:58
Anyways, yes, Francas is amazing, but.
25:00
But I was skidding before you the guy, let's
25:02
do this exercise before you read this, just for the guy
25:04
who took over for Frank Auz was
25:07
like Emma Brett. He opens up
25:09
his voice, biggering, just
25:11
kind of.
25:12
Like kind
25:16
of the cadence of it. He
25:18
scrolls a tip stirs.
25:20
If he dos a screen a Britteryxnors
25:24
and here's the absolute ladies and electronics,
25:27
he will just have to run out and get one.
25:29
And if he really doesn't particularly want
25:32
it, need it or what it does, what
25:35
you need to do. Let
25:37
him have his toys, but match
25:39
him tour for tour. If
25:42
he gets another PDA or GPS,
25:45
make sure you nap another d k
25:47
n Y a couple of pcpgs
25:50
with the field c ks thrown
25:53
in for good measure.
25:56
That was amazing.
25:59
You got the to and it's also going between
26:01
the soft one where she's been there, yeah
26:04
me and then you.
26:05
Go I was like pushing it a little too,
26:07
it's the softer one.
26:08
But then she goes in gives
26:11
me the roles being like also just like
26:13
men are so obsessed with their GPS, which
26:16
at first I was like, haha, who is, but then I was remembering
26:18
my dad like being so proud
26:20
to buy like the thickest thickest
26:23
ips.
26:23
I remember it was like Christmas Day,
26:26
like two thousand and two, my dad
26:28
getting this huge garment, this brick
26:31
garment. He was like, well, this
26:33
is pretty neat, and it like had like
26:35
such a like calculator screen that
26:38
could just like show you and they're just like showing
26:40
you nothing basically, and it's like cool.
26:43
It's like doesn't even have Google Maps on it, but
26:45
they did, like it was showing you, like your coordinance.
26:48
It would just be like okay, I'm at like thirty four
26:50
and like.
26:50
To put in the directions. It was so like beep,
26:53
hard beep.
26:54
Like well. There was also the car one,
26:56
Yeah, I'm thinking of the car. My dad had this not
26:59
just like a co wor in it, like like literally
27:01
was it for the car? Was he just like this
27:04
thing you carried around with you to like know where
27:06
you.
27:06
Were a massive ass compass?
27:08
Yeah, well he does love to hake no for
27:10
sure, and that is useful for him.
27:12
Yeah. Do you remember he carried around with him
27:14
was like yeah, we actually
27:16
at thirty two degrees north.
27:18
Yeah, and he would be like, well look at the actual
27:20
you'll see the trail that we've taken. We kind of veered
27:22
north here, so he
27:25
got some joy out of that garment.
27:27
But he didn't. I bet your mom picked up a few
27:29
BCBG.
27:30
Oh she did. She was Santa that
27:32
year.
27:33
Yeah, she was shopping for herself.
27:35
Okay. Piggy makes this like acronym
27:37
joke multiple times in the book about
27:40
DK and Y and BCBG and c
27:42
K wait read it because she's going if
27:44
he gets another PDA or GPS,
27:46
make sure you nab another DK and why
27:49
get it? Letter letters
27:52
because she's a punster at the end of the day.
27:54
And again she's a comedian and a punster. And I
27:56
was like eighties Piggy, I
27:59
feel like it was so Chanel the
28:01
dk't mind BCPEG. I was like, that's
28:03
what's so this two nine.
28:06
I'm more like American sportswear
28:08
acceptable.
28:09
Like the dec whyk
28:12
I mean the shirt I'm wearing today is
28:14
like a Calvin Klein Kermey spoof.
28:17
Where he's in sexy underwear.
28:18
Yeah, like Calvin's.
28:20
He looks like a hot indie guy.
28:23
N get it, and like, I get it, not Piggy. It's
28:26
also you could compare another comparison
28:28
Lena Dunham and Adam O Adam
28:31
Driver yeah, girls, she's
28:33
like depressed.
28:34
And he's got like a big mouth. Kermit's
28:36
got a big mouth, like a man with
28:38
a big mouth, and like.
28:40
You know, she's Piggy's whole things. She's needy
28:42
even though she.
28:44
Him to Miss Piggy.
28:46
You compared her dear friend, Miss Piggy.
28:50
She's literally a fabulous pig.
28:53
Also, Piggy is actually I'll say it, yes
28:55
she is a pig, but she's never like
28:58
the biggest I think she is in
29:00
the eighties and she has a wider
29:02
face and a perm.
29:04
Yeah, well this is getting back into this insane video.
29:06
We watched about the evolution of her like foam core
29:08
undercarriage, and like the
29:11
foam she was made with like evolved
29:13
and like got more high tech, and like her skin
29:15
got more beautiful. Like at first she was like actually
29:17
creepy exacting so that it's.
29:20
Like British people are creepy, and like even
29:22
the nerdy guy was like, it's actually hard to like
29:24
watch her move because the skin is like terrifying.
29:28
Yeah, and it's like super creppy and drapy
29:31
and like falling apart. But then it's
29:33
like, I don't know, maybe that's more realistic
29:35
and it's like, is she actually like pushing
29:37
unrealistic beauty standards for pigs.
29:40
Well, she definitely gets a snout job. Like
29:45
you'll see the snout becomes smaller.
29:47
It also becomes like longer and more expressive,
29:50
right, which is like partly for you know, acting
29:52
purposes, so like Frank can make her
29:55
more excitable and like do more comedy
29:57
with her.
29:57
And I feel like her ears were sharper and hear
29:59
the like a little more.
30:01
Like I wonder if you like affected
30:03
like state fair piggery, Like
30:06
if like the pigs that the like Wisconsin
30:08
State Fair in the seventies were actually kind
30:11
of like less sassy, less
30:14
sassy, less makeup, like
30:16
less smooth skin, and now they're like trying to buff
30:18
them and make them like so much more miss piggy.
30:20
I mean there are those like little pig runs
30:22
that I've seen at state fairs
30:25
where they name all the pigs and it's like.
30:27
Oh wait, we did see that. Yeah, that was like the best thing of
30:29
every seen.
30:29
Right, it's being so like Beyonce like
30:32
pig or whatever, and that feels
30:35
does feel affected.
30:36
By, right, And that comes back
30:38
to the joy of femininization, And
30:40
that's where I'm like, there's so much drag
30:43
overlap here, and I.
30:44
Think what they real is because when she was first on
30:46
her bower Boat show, who's like easy listening,
30:49
but she was more say with
30:51
me, demure, and then
30:53
she slowly got more
30:56
sassy yes, and then her final
30:58
form of more like the and now
31:01
and just like right,
31:03
it's like always being so diamonds diva.
31:06
But I think at first it was like, yes, she was
31:08
like glamorous, but she was a little bit like, yeah,
31:10
I'm a guy's girl. I'll follow Kermit
31:12
somewhere like okay Kurmi and is
31:14
like more like her whole thing became like
31:17
being violent, which is I'm obsessed
31:19
with, like her karate chop.
31:21
Yeah, hi yi, I
31:23
know. I was just watching an episode of The Muppet
31:25
Shirt with Liberachi as the special
31:27
guest, and that's completely insane. And she's
31:30
doing this like Greek restaurant dance
31:32
number, and there's all these other pigs
31:34
at the Greek restaurant and they're all just going Mika
31:37
nos hoummos, and
31:41
she's wearing this kind of just like almost like
31:43
a Venice like Venetian gondola outfit,
31:46
and she's just like pushing random waiters
31:48
like downstairs and just being like.
31:50
I'm no Greek buddy.
31:52
Kiss me on Tuesday, kiss me onstair.
31:56
Where it's like she wants everyone to love her, but she
31:58
also wants to just like hurt. She
32:00
does right.
32:03
And it's actually so like pushing
32:05
men and kicking them and like being like
32:07
you're disgusting, And it's
32:09
like she is this girl that like is
32:12
so like diamonds and fabulous because at the end of the day,
32:14
like her probably biggest female friend and
32:16
foe is like Janis, who
32:18
is like the Stoner and the Muppets.
32:20
She is a guy's girl.
32:22
She is a guys girl, which I think why
32:24
she is so like high Off.
32:26
Well this question where she says what
32:29
to say when you feel like fighting, and it's
32:31
like things you can do to start a fight,
32:34
ask for it?
32:34
What does when you feel like fighting? Does
32:37
this dress make me look fat? Should
32:39
I bar these shoes?
32:41
Marked?
32:41
If we watch the figures cuting competition?
32:44
Marred?
32:44
If I drive the remote? I
32:47
threw that out again, remote.
32:49
Stuff, remote jokes because
32:52
men always want the click girl.
32:53
I always love to click click click.
32:57
I do feel like I do do this though,
32:59
and I want.
32:59
To start I mean It's classic do I
33:01
look fat?
33:02
If I want to just like be mad at my boyfriend, I'll just be
33:04
like, oh so you think you look fat? And he's like, I literally
33:06
didn't even say anything.
33:07
I said nothing, and you're it's not don't impress
33:09
me much.
33:11
And I'm just like, Okay, well you didn't
33:13
say anything, which means you do think.
33:14
I like, yeah, that is like, oh so
33:16
you don't want it. You're embarrassed to be with me.
33:21
Career tip number one.
33:22
Ambition. Ambition is what drives us
33:24
marrying wealthy is what provides the driver.
33:27
People who work to live have a job.
33:29
People who lived to work have a career. People
33:31
who have people do have the work for them, haven't
33:34
made if she's not married.
33:36
Yeah, it's interesting. I
33:38
mean again, it's the character. It's almost like this Paris Hilton
33:40
book and there are Confessions of an Heiress, which is so
33:42
just like How to Be Read book. Yeah.
33:45
I also wanted to talk about identity
33:48
for a second here, please, Yeah, because in
33:50
this book she refers to herself
33:52
mostly as a woman and not as
33:54
a pig. Occasionally as a pig,
33:57
but it's mostly a woman and there's a lot of just like
34:00
this men do this or let me do this, but
34:02
frogs do this. She talks about frogs
34:04
more than she talks about pigs. Yes, and
34:07
so she's like often othering Kermy
34:09
as a frog, but in her own mind
34:12
she is standing for all women and she is
34:14
this like icon of femininity. There's
34:16
only a couple of points where she breaks, like when she talks about
34:18
the oscars and she's like, they've only given oscars
34:21
to humans, which is possibly speciesism,
34:24
which is almost like a proto woke joke.
34:26
No, and she makes another thing in the interest soudly
34:29
about this stuff where she talks about how like her
34:31
and Kurmy are like the only interspecies
34:33
couple.
34:34
Yes, that was another joke where she kind of broke
34:36
it and she was like, I get it, I'm a pig.
34:38
But and she says also in the intro
34:40
to your part, she says I will use men
34:43
and frogs interchangeably, but she doesn't
34:45
say.
34:45
I will use women in pigs inter Yeah.
34:47
Because she also doesn't want to call women.
34:49
She doesn't want to call a woman.
34:51
She's the only pig.
34:52
She's not really a pig's rights activism.
34:55
No, it's not animal rights activism. Yeah,
34:57
she's basically saying, like, I know that a pig
34:59
is a problem thing for him to be, but I also
35:01
think that like, by doing
35:04
this joke about womanhood, I'm also celebrating
35:06
womanhood and kind of like criticizing
35:09
and insulting everyone who thinks that like
35:11
women are are superficial
35:15
you know, man haters, man killers, whatever.
35:17
Because she's doing this like goat.
35:20
Which also brings back to being her be kind of a retro
35:22
drag queen. Yes, it's a little
35:24
of this kind of self hate still
35:27
being like like born this
35:29
way. Yeah, like I was born a pig, but
35:31
I meant for stardom. Yes, it
35:34
also is kind of riology.
35:36
Be damned.
35:37
I wrote this down, you know, like in
35:39
the famous queer text stone
35:42
Butcher Blues Yes by Leslie Feinberg,
35:44
And it's about how just like you know, you would automatically
35:46
just he a butch lesbian back
35:49
in the day, in the sixties, just
35:51
like it was more conversation like
35:53
you're a heat.
35:54
It was more like stud culture in
35:56
the South today, exactly.
35:58
What's your stud name? And it's like, what's
36:00
your pig name? And I think she's being like, yeah, it's
36:03
fun men frog, same thing.
36:05
Yes, he might peg.
36:07
She she's not being like, my pronouns
36:10
are pig her.
36:11
She's just being like, I'm a pig.
36:13
Obviously obviously I'm a pig, but
36:15
like, for the purpose of this conversation, I'm a woman,
36:17
yes, and like womanhood is
36:20
fluid and beautiful and it's a big.
36:22
Tent stone pig blues.
36:25
That's the theory book we're going to write about
36:27
Piggy.
36:29
And her as like a transhumanist like allegory
36:33
collapsing the boundaries of identity.
36:35
Oh I also this dad, I was like, they're also
36:38
kind of a prototype for just like a Chip
36:40
and Joanna or just like any couple
36:42
Reno show where it's like she's
36:44
so iroll, she's so eyroll and making
36:46
all these.
36:47
Design decisions, and he's
36:49
being like so doing the like construction
36:52
work.
36:52
Right, but he's it's a little more sitting.
36:55
Because he's actually.
36:58
Kermi type to this book.
37:01
Oh I love that reveal in the
37:03
middle.
37:03
Of the book. Yeah, get the page, so you
37:05
know she begins it and she's being still like,
37:07
oh if my publisher found
37:09
a typist for me, because obviously
37:11
she's not gonna type.
37:12
So it's supposed to be like ten
37:14
thousand things that idiotic frogs do,
37:17
and then it stops at forty two. Number
37:19
forty two. He's a frog who doesn't realize
37:22
how fortunate he is to have a mow and ought.
37:24
To be glad.
37:25
I put up with this dot dot dot, and then it
37:27
goes up to dot. Hold on, I'm
37:29
not typing any more of this. I quit,
37:32
and then it's like signed K the F,
37:35
I love K the F. And
37:39
then the whole book shifts and it becomes basically
37:41
more just like fridge magnet aphorisms.
37:44
Yeah, and it's being a little more like.
37:46
If your man does this, yeah, whatevery
37:48
diva needs to know? Too much is never
37:50
enough. I do love the one that's
37:52
a you could lead a horse to water,
37:54
but why would you want to wait?
37:56
That's what she gets really. Bethany also, who's
37:58
another kind of Peggy.
38:00
Bethany is one hundred percent of Miss Peggy
38:03
for sure.
38:04
Main character, but hilarious,
38:06
but a business woman like always
38:08
engaged for Mary.
38:10
I guess I'll say about Bethany is that
38:12
I don't not necessarily gonna put her on
38:14
that like faillis satirical
38:17
level that maybe like Elena dunnams on
38:19
that I don't. Bethany is deeply
38:22
unaware of whatever you could accuse
38:24
her of satirizing.
38:26
And if she thinks she's aware, like doing
38:28
her like food things, she's still like not.
38:31
Yeah, She's ultimately completely insane.
38:33
He's status obsessed.
38:35
It's all about the label, the fancy car, the
38:37
platinum encrusted watch, the vacation
38:39
place instead, the showy perks.
38:42
What voon need to do?
38:43
Give MOI his number?
38:45
So you know, it's like she's being like, yes, I want
38:47
a rich man.
38:49
So it's like the frog is typing, so he is
38:51
her cock and she is this whole time, going back
38:53
and forth to being like I will leave
38:55
you.
38:55
But he understands that it's a performance.
38:58
He totally gets that. Also very nineties
39:00
about this Pokemon comment twent thousand and nine is like the jokes
39:03
about exercise equipment.
39:05
She's anti exercise, but she's
39:07
also very like sweat band,
39:09
StairMaster.
39:10
She gets buying at home fitness machine for your bedroom.
39:13
After about two weeks, get a major workout
39:15
looking for it under all those dirty clothes, I
39:17
mean iconic.
39:18
Did your mom have Like we had a
39:20
huge exercise bike. It
39:23
was massive on like the first floor,
39:25
and you remember it.
39:26
It was like white the bottom
39:28
floor.
39:29
Yeah, and it kind of created like a wind
39:31
fan like it had.
39:32
It was a swim.
39:33
Yeah, it was a swine. And
39:36
my mom would listen to her yellow
39:38
Discman and she bought the LaBouche
39:40
CD. Actually at HMV.
39:42
That's a workout way too cool for
39:44
any mom to ever do.
39:46
I know, literally my mom buying.
39:50
That's crazy, and so she used it.
39:52
Yeah, I feel like for a while and then it became.
39:55
I remember Dusty. There was a treadmill
39:57
that I never even saw out. It was only
39:59
a against the wall and then there was
40:02
pushed down. There was this like abs
40:04
seeked and it's like, you know, those
40:06
things are like the worst machine of the gym. Like anytime
40:08
I see someone using the like thing where you sit in
40:10
and move down, it's like they don't
40:12
have abs. It's just like that's not how you
40:14
got them. It was like this seat with
40:16
like a bar that you press, you.
40:18
Push down that you're just supposed to engauge the core.
40:20
Yeah, you gauge the core. And I only
40:22
ever saw a pile of clothes on it, like it was
40:24
absolutely never finding hang defining
40:27
like nineties and buying, especially
40:29
the TV and I think there are.
40:30
Something iconic photos of Piggy like being
40:33
eighties being like leotard, let's
40:35
get physical now. It's
40:37
like she is a past generation
40:40
of like you can be fabulous but anti exercise,
40:43
Like the coolest thing for a
40:45
star is to be fit, bit
40:47
and spin. It's about being like naturally
40:49
Fabuliz go.
40:51
To a gym that Paris Hilton to bring it back
40:53
to Confessions of an Era their sister
40:56
to this book. I remember at one point she says,
40:58
if you do work out, don't tell anyone.
41:00
I love that, right, Like you're supposed to experience
41:03
of effortlessness. You're supposed to be rich and genetics
41:06
and like, yeah, being naturally thin.
41:08
It's not about working for it and being Lulu
41:10
Lemon and constant Stanley.
41:12
You know, it's completely shift now
41:16
it's a status symbol to be working
41:18
out constantly.
41:18
Only being workout close and maybe
41:20
think of the amazing scene Alton First Wives Club
41:23
when Goldie Han is on the StairMaster.
41:26
She says, I get my best ideas on
41:28
the StairMaster. She's also kind of a Piggy
41:31
like character.
41:32
Oh for sure, you know, yeah, I mean we
41:34
can just make a list of all the piggies.
41:36
Goldie Hon Cameron DIA's.
41:39
I'm kind of saying Goldiehan's more piggy to.
41:41
Me, I think because it's about being like silly
41:43
in this different, like coookier
41:45
way.
41:46
But it's also about being like diamonds
41:48
in New York and knowing that you're being
41:50
in over the top, like you know, kind of
41:52
like materialist diva who's
41:55
also like an intellectual and wants to
41:57
be the star, and you're playing with that idea
41:59
of desperation and a need for attention, like Cameron
42:01
dia is, this is not part of her persona
42:05
is the guy's girl who wants to play football and do not show.
42:07
It's like she just have this like slightly self
42:09
satirizing, Like isn't it ridiculous? How
42:11
like thirsty I am, like.
42:13
Right, and like I love men and chocolate.
42:15
Yeah, Samantha is actually not a
42:18
Piggy.
42:19
It's hard she I mean,
42:21
she is the most out of the four of them.
42:24
But in a way, Piggy is also a little Charlotte
42:26
Ye. Piggy isn't
42:29
giving it up and just wants this one guy who
42:31
has the money in the Park Avenue apartment
42:33
and Chanel right.
42:34
Just kind of Charlotte. Yes, yes, yes, no,
42:37
I mean and Charlotte's so rules, She's so
42:39
dificule.
42:40
Even though but I would say love life. She's most
42:42
like Carrie because Big is Kermit never
42:46
giving her the marriage.
42:47
Big is not like a thin indie guy who lives
42:49
in Ridge.
42:50
No, but relationship wise he.
42:52
Is a little more Steve to me though.
42:55
Personality wise you just saying, though, how Big.
42:57
It's like there's always this.
42:58
Guy, Like I think it'd be funnier if intead
43:00
of making them divorce, there was more Miranda and
43:02
Steve. Like she becomes a lesbian,
43:04
she becomes she gets pig becomes
43:06
a lessian, gets with Gena, Lions
43:11
and Chrome has just been like I'm happy to just
43:13
watch Netflix or whatever.
43:25
The fabulous segment coat, What
43:28
does she eat?
43:30
What does she wear chanel?
43:32
Of course?
43:33
How does she live? Per caven your apartment?
43:37
What does she eat for grass?
43:39
Oysters? Champagne?
43:42
Do you think bacon?
43:44
I feel like it's so piggy to like.
43:47
Go to like like
43:49
a fabulous restaurant like Laban
43:51
and Den and they serve her and she
43:53
doesn't realize it and then she gets mad
43:55
at the hip and they're like Peggy,
43:58
this is our favorite,
44:00
and they serve.
44:01
Her like some pork thing.
44:03
She starts to eat it and then.
44:05
Is like and then she gets like offended, and she demands
44:07
the meal for free, but then finishes the meal also and.
44:10
Eats it all, and then it's like, Jaminda
44:12
another dinner here.
44:15
Oh no, she's throwing a fit. She's getting comps left
44:17
and right.
44:18
Left and right. I think that's the thing about
44:20
Piggy is like she's always.
44:22
Been like friend a man to buy you something,
44:24
but.
44:25
You never see kerme swiping.
44:27
I think she gets most stuff for free.
44:29
You know where she's definitely going frog club.
44:35
But yeah, she's getting the pigs and blankets
44:37
a frog club. And then it's like I'm never
44:39
going there again. So
44:43
she eats a frog club.
44:47
But what does she wear? Designer?
44:49
Is she like a little bit like rent the Runway
44:51
And I think that's like out of business now, but like.
44:53
I think she is really run the one runway
44:55
because she is so like being dressed.
44:58
And I watched this clip of her and when he Williams
45:00
and she was like, I'm.
45:01
At a press tour like footcam
45:04
my Christian Lubitans, and I didn't
45:06
pay for them the studio did.
45:08
No because she loves labels and she wants new
45:10
stuff. But she is always being a little bit like Hermie,
45:13
where's the money And.
45:14
She's like, well, Piggy, I had to
45:16
pay for our movie that we just made.
45:19
Yeah, And she was like, fine, I'll get the
45:21
movie producer to pay for it.
45:23
Yeah. She's like renting chandelier arians. I'm at the room
45:25
way all the time.
45:26
And that is like maybe returning them.
45:28
How does she live like fabulous
45:31
Park Avenue apartment, But again, like she's not owning
45:33
it. The studio again is putting
45:35
her up. And I feel like she's very I mean
45:37
like Joan Rivers, she ran,
45:40
she's a Renter's an miss
45:44
renter, Piggy like again,
45:46
parents like maybe if she's in a mansion Beverly
45:48
Hills, it's still a little twenty thousand
45:51
a month rentals.
45:53
So low hand, that's crazy.
45:55
I feel like she's more like Janice Dickinson and she's
45:57
like, Okay, well the seconds is
45:59
probably paying like fourteen hundred a month right
46:02
now. I would say she's doing
46:04
a fifty six hundred a month
46:06
rental in the hills.
46:07
Okay, in the Hills.
46:08
Is that fair?
46:09
She should go on selling sunset. That
46:11
would be great, would be so funny,
46:14
like a Manza showing her house.
46:18
And then she steals g flip from Krishelle.
46:20
Yeah. Well and this is.
46:23
Well right because she's so high camp, like
46:25
it's kind of like class like she wasn't with Kermie.
46:28
It would have to be like a butcher in
46:32
this way, because it's kind of like she is too
46:34
much for like another street guy, like
46:38
it is more like kai femme camp lipstick.
46:41
Yeah, oh, because their original
46:43
tall fem short butch.
46:45
I wonder if she could be with like a real like
46:47
a movie star. She could be with a closet movie
46:50
star like George Clooney, And she mentions
46:52
that put George Cey in this book.
46:53
She's always like, oh, go to a charity
46:56
dinner because you'll be seated next to George Clooney.
47:00
I love going to Lake Como.
47:02
Yeah, she's squatting at his like Como
47:04
house, and it's like he's like, Piggy, where are you
47:07
And she's like hiding in a closet and like stays
47:09
there.
47:09
He's got like a train of Italian twinks
47:11
in her space and she's just in the other room.
47:13
Like having figs. Yeah, who
47:18
are you? I
47:24
mean, I think we're both biggy
47:28
like Decan why diamonds
47:30
chocolate.
47:31
We're both fabulous. Steva's in the
47:33
grand queer tradition of
47:35
eminine celebration and
47:38
satire.
47:41
Pig Her.
47:45
Yeah, I mean, there's not a lot
47:47
of other people in the book. Really.
47:49
I guess there's a kermit. She mentions
47:52
Gonzo.
47:53
We're also kind of if you want to lose our
47:55
friends, if you want to like expand to the whole
47:57
like network of muppets. We are the two old
47:59
men in the.
47:59
Balcony who
48:02
were like talking at the movies, who were talking.
48:04
At the movie here and getting shushed and are like so pissed about
48:06
everything.
48:06
Wait, I just saw which is so too old men that Anna
48:09
Wintour told Jenna Bush and Hoda
48:11
to be quiet at the US Open.
48:17
Wow, we are absolutely
48:20
getting shushed, but anyway, and
48:24
Jenna Bush is just like screaming, like
48:27
trying to.
48:27
Take a photo of Tailer Swift and on
48:29
her phone. Anna Wintour is just like, please
48:32
be quiet, toy, this is Dennis
48:34
get out to be silent.
48:36
Well, okay, club kid, it's been
48:38
a wonderful episode. Sorry,
48:42
I have a reservation at front Club.
48:44
I was trying to rush out of you.
48:46
Well, of course I give him mos
48:49
book a five out of five, five
48:53
differy engagement rings
48:56
out of five.
48:58
Yeah, I'm afraid to give this book anything
49:01
less than Chanel number five,
49:03
Chanel number fives.
49:04
I mean, I would love a longer
49:07
form.
49:08
It'd be hilarious. A memoir. Yeah,
49:10
I'd love for someone.
49:12
To like do the child and
49:14
like meeting Kermit.
49:16
Yeah, but I had such a fun time going back
49:18
watching the Muppet Show. That show was hilarious.
49:21
I was laughing like a child, literally
49:23
giggling.
49:25
And also, yeah, it wasn't really made for kids.
49:27
It's like literally not for adults. Wait
