What's Thor? What are those called? I have no idea what you're talking about the infinity stones that's what you mean the |
| 1:45.1 | infinity stones you are you are the best yeah I was like I can't believe I subscribe to both |
| 1:50.6 | these people to get the same shit two places this is what synergy looks like and you have to |
| 1:54.3 | respect energy and also like it's called mayhem is what it is listening to it I was going to say |
| 1:58.8 | I was going to say if mayhem is about the multifaceted parts |
| 2:01.8 | of Lady Gaga coming together, this podcast is matching that in our joint sleigh, our podcast. Is that what it's about, Lou? Is that what they're about? It's called joint sleigh between Michael and Gaga. Finally, the joint sleigh the world has been waiting for. The joint slay between like Zen 2025 Gaga and like |
| 2:19.3 | frenetic 2008 Gaga and then everything in between on one album on one look back at her whole |
| 2:26.3 | career, which like I'm wondering, as I said in my tweet yesterday, like is this like the capstone |
| 2:30.8 | before Lady Gaga like disappears for 10 years and like doesn't give us another pop album until she'll be pregnant by the last show. I think she'll be performing pregnant. Well, it's like how Beyonce did. I think she'll, I think she'll do the tour and like she'll be 10 shows away from being done and it'll come out that she's pregnant. And she'll finish the 10 shows and then she'll disappear for like three, four years, which actually is not that long in terms of pop stars these days. It's like she'll disappear for kind of not the two year, but the little bit longer than two year. And then come back with some actually truly bad album about having kids. And you know that to be true. No, Bobby, stop. Lou, when I saw your tweet about that, Lou, when I saw your tweet about, sorry, I was right about this. You guessed the same thing for everything. But when I saw your tweet about that, Lou. You got to be right eventually. Wait, what did you guess? That mayhem would be amazing. Oh. Yeah, you were right. Come on. I've never been more right in my life. |
| 3:25.2 | Remember when I was worried about mayhem? Because no, you don't. Yeah. Do I remember? Oh, my God. I have like a doll of you behind me that I sat on fire every night. When Bobby almost kicked me out of the group chat for being mean about disease. That was like really scarring to me. But wait, what I was going to say about the marriage thing |
| 3:41.0 | is that your tweet that said like monsters get ready like after this, she's going all in on like marriage and motherhood and whatever. You kind of said it as a joke, but you kind of said it seriously. And I do think that there's a lot of truth to it because I didn't think that organically. But when I saw that, I was like, you're so right. |
