Brad and Mir for the Culture.

0:05.6

Love you, Pee.

0:10.3

All right, welcome everybody to a brand new episode of Brad and Mirror for the Culture.

0:15.8

I'm Brad Listy, and I'm here with my friend and co-host, Mira Gonzalez, who is making her triumphant return

0:22.8

after a couple of weeks off.

0:25.2

That's right.

0:25.8

I'm back.

0:26.5

I'm back, bitches.

0:27.3

I lived.

0:28.5

So you've been going through rough stuff.

0:31.8

Like, we have to acknowledge the fact that you lost your grandma.

0:36.6

This is supposed to be a light show, but I don't know

1:33.2

And so basically the, um, uh, costume designers guild that represents her, like the local,

1:40.4

I can't remember the number, uh, they submit her to their, like, Oscars representative, their SAG, like, I don't know,

1:48.6

Academy representative or whatever.

1:50.3

And literally the way that it works is that like, hopefully not a lot of costume

1:55.5

designers have died this year because it's like they need to have a certain number of like

1:59.6

directors, publicists, costume designers.
