My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

0:04.5

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

0:10.1

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

0:12.6

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

0:18.1

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

0:20.6

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

0:26.6

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

0:28.4

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:58.4

The podcast and that's what you really missed brings you back to the choir room for a gloriously gleeky rewatch of all six masterfully musical seasons of Glee.

1:19.4

Join cast members Kevin MacKale and Jenna Uschkewitz for never before heard stories from the cast, crew, celebrities and you, the fans from McKinley High to New York City, from the choir room to nationals and from the Super Bowl to a world tour.

1:32.9

Listen to and that's what you really missed on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

1:52.4

So I've been thinking about all the housewives and how many of them had an identity connected to their marriage, how Sonya was married to a Morgan, how Lwam was married to a count, how Darynda was married to somebody who had political ties and he passed away and Camille Grammar was married to Kelsey Grammar and women's identities being tied to men and then have a break through and break free afterwards or don't or hang onto it and think about it or just constantly in the shadow of their former life.

2:21.4

They they're chasing the dragon and wishing they still had that life and I was thinking about a vana who died and it's just just falling down those tragic stairs hitting her head blunt force trauma those scares were the stairs were scary.

2:35.4

I'm sure maybe she was meditating she was home for two years it just you know and I watched this documentary on her and Trump I didn't realize that because of her connections as a model and being international and being in New York that she kind of brought him into those circles.

2:50.4

Happens a lot I know other people where one member of the couple has the money and the other one has sort of this the penache either the street cred or the social status and the combination can be very strong and it seems like he signed up for a wife and she really elevated and helped him and he wouldn't be on the apprentice and wouldn't have been the president without him.

3:12.4

But then she also became like a business partner so they probably were only talking about business and we saw that Gucci story where the wife like started being a powerful figure and getting strong and and not that the male figure doesn't always want that if you watch the crown and by the way talk shit I'm not saying I'm just talking about it you watch the crown how.

3:35.4

It seems to have bothered Charles Diana was the sparkly favorite right so now Ivana is this darling and now their partners and they were on I think it was Oprah and someone asked Trump I think it was Oprah I really do who said well does Ivana get paid and he said she could buy as many dresses as she wants and apparently got in her because she felt like an equal and she was smart and she was shrewd so they get divorced and I'm not saying that it's all his fault.

4:04.4

Because they probably and she had a shitty prenup they get divorced and you know he signed up to have her be a plus one she was a model and beautiful and he liked all the panache gave him but he wanted her to stay in her place and she wanted to be an equal business partner and he didn't want a business partner he wanted a wife and they both sort of agree on the whole entire thing she says don't get maggot everything she didn't get everything she got like $10 million and she had a shitty prenup

4:33.4

and it seems like she's always been a bit scorned by it like that ruined her I know women that that that that divorce really fucking gut punches them you know Sony has been public on the show like that divorce really really fucking gut punched her and I just think it's interesting women whose identities are attached to their husbands and then their marriages and their status and then they get divorced and the afterlife

5:01.4

and some people really move forward break through and shine and some people get stuck and pulled back and it's very sad

5:16.4
