You guys, welcome to another pop culture episode of Beyond the Blinds, it is me Troy McEady.

What do you think, Kelly Williams?

Obviously, it has been a while. We missed you guys. We missed you very much. We saw all of your DMs talking about how much you missed the show.

And honestly, I felt like when Wendy Williams used to take breaks and then she'd be like, I was bored. I was running to come back.

I wish I could have shortened my vacation. That's kind of how I felt towards the end. I was very anxious to talk about things that were happening because things have been happening.

I'm really, really just excited for a lot of your takes as I'm sure everyone is.

And we also obviously have to start the episode by just saying that obviously there's just like a lot going on right now. The internet is so fucking scary.

Doom scrolling doesn't even really, I don't even know how to describe what it feels like to just scroll through social media right now.

Like it's really gut wrenching. And it's also frustrating that of course celebrities can't keep their fucking feet out of their mouth.

And I don't know. I just kind of feel like if you're not informed on what's going on, you should just not have an opinion. It's okay to like not post an opinion on the internet.

And to just sit back and like try and learn Justin Bieber and Alicia Keys apparently didn't get that message. But hopefully, you know, our show obviously we've been gone for a little while.

But hopefully this provides some kind of like escape from just how sad everything is right now.

Yeah, I completely agree with you and thank you guys for letting us have this moment to kind of get lost in some in the grand scheme of things silly pop culture gossip things.

Yeah, some good trivial, you know, broadly Cooper kind of shit.

So to start the episode, we actually have a kindness blind from a reader.

Yeah, okay.

This is from someone they said I used to work at a theater that had a lot of celebrities come to talk about movies Jamie Lee Curtis was such a gem.

We weren't allowed to accept tips, but you would always slip us a 20 and John Goodman would also do the same.

That's nice. That is nice. And John Goodman, where are dad?

And for all of our challenge fans, I got some challenge T so it's alleged remember this part is alleged.

Okay.

This is from someone who used to have Lee Roy as a barber in Las Vegas allegedly Tori and Jordan broke up because Tori cheated on Jordan with Fessie.
