Brad here, protocol, Dr.

Love you, Pee.

First of all, I would like to say that I think there was like two to three things that Brad wanted to include and did put in the list of things that we should talk about in this show that were like just i don't even going to say what

they were but just like news items involving mass death and involving just like horrific

things happening to innocent people and the elderly but i'm not celebrating i'm not celebrating the

more celebrating it no he had another take on it it was like not a a mean take, but like I was, I had to be like Brad. It's like 10 p.m. which is way past your bedtime. And so I think that you are not thinking straight. This is a pop culture podcast. We don't talk about any mass death event under any circumstances. Well, people should know. People, if you're going to bring it up,

people should know. They should know. I mean, we're not going to go into depth on it, but I just,

I was fascinated by this thing at the haj in the Middle East. They're talking about it. They're

making a pilgrimage and all these people are dropping dead in the heat. And I'm like, we got saying is

that people made a pilgrimage to Mecca and a shitload of them died. And he wanted to discuss it on our lighthearted pop culture podcast. And we're like, but it's not about the death. It's about like, wait, we got to change the schedule. We got to, it's too hot to be doing this. And you're in this. There's a million people. It's like a, okay, no, no, no. We're moving on. We're moving on. All right. This is the text conversation that I had with Brad the other day. And it got to a point where I had to say, Brad, I am exercising my powers of veto and we are not talking about this. Yeah, Mira, Mara's like, you know, she'd put her foot down. I've never been the voice of reason and Brad Knight's friendship until like this moment. Like, ever, even once. I feel like we've made a breakthrough together. Yeah, that's true. That's true. You've become less mature and I've become more mature. That's how it's supposed to work, though. I'm regressing and you're slightly, we're inching forward in different directions.

Right. I'm less mature and I've become more mature. That's how it's supposed to work, though. I'm regressing and you're slightly, we're inching forward in different directions.

But what is in the news that is socially acceptable to talk about?

Well, so I'm about to talk about a story that is not totally socially acceptable to talk about, but I did allow it to still be

in the episode because it doesn't involve mass death. So our next topic involves everybody's

favorite Jacob Ballardy, everyone's favorite tall guy actor who is tall and handsome. I don't

really know what else his thing is besides being really tall and handsome.

Jen Z. Did he played, he played Elvis? What did he do? He played Elvis, but not in the main Elvis movie, not in the Baz Luhrman one, but in like the other one. The Sophia Coppola or? Yeah, maybe in Priscilla. I think he was Elvis. Okay. Yeah. So he's like, he's very, it's like just conventionally handsome kind of like young leading man type actor.

He came up in the show Euphoria where he was like the like hot, uh, the hot guy at school who everybody wanted to be with.

Then he's like secretly gay and like his dad's in the military and it's like whatever the fuck team.

It's sort of like, uh, I feel like it's sort of like a new iteration of like the Josh Hartn the military and it's like whatever the fuck team it's sort of like uh i feel like

it's sort of like a new iteration of like the josh hartnett thing that it was happening in uh the

sophia coppola movie the uh that was based on the novel what's it called the suicide yeah yeah yeah
