0:00.0 | Hey guys, this is Jacques, welcome back to On Popular. I am recording this a few hours after |
0:20.2 | Matthew Perry died, and I have to say that |
0:22.3 | personally, I don't actually care that much. And as soon as the news broke, I went straight into my |
0:27.0 | settings on social media and I muted his name because I knew that if I didn't, it would be 48 hours |
0:33.6 | plus of just Matthew Perry has died. Stars devastated that Matthew Perry died. Have you seen |
0:39.6 | that Matthew Perry died? Like it literally would have just been like the same Matthew Perry's story |
0:43.7 | over and over and over and over and over again as these things are because everyone has to just |
0:47.8 | like report the same thing. And I just don't care that much about celebrity deaths in general, |
0:52.7 | sorry. Unless it's like a really talented musician, like, I'm just not going to lose sleep over a random, like, actor or celebrity that I've never met dying. Like, I wasn't that into friends. Like, I'm not at friends hater. Like, some people have kind of a snobby attitude. Like, oh my God, friends, it's like, it's fine. Like, it's a cute sitcom. Like, I have no issue with it. But I didn't really watch it. Like, I was more into Frazier, um, Seinfeld, everybody loves Raymond. Like, they were my go-to sitcoms. And, you know, it's sad, but like, girl, there's a lot going on in the world right now, you know? I'm seeing posts from people going, um, I'm devastated. I'm heartbroken, |
1:29.7 | like, heartbroken. I mean, I don't know, like, that's just very strong for someone that you don't |
1:36.0 | know. Like, I'm seeing so much horrible death and destruction on my timeline because of obviously, |
1:41.3 | you know, the conflict going on in the Middle East and everything. |
2:51.6 | And I feel like if I was going to be, like, devastated from, like, Matthew Perry's death, like, how would I even get up in the morning? You know what I mean? Like, and deal with life. Devastated, heartbroken, like, shattered. Like, I don't know, man. How do you guys get through the day. Anyway, RIP to Matthew Perry, like, you know, it's sad, of course, but I'm just so glad I limited my Instagram comments because I would have been so annoyed if people started, like, tagging me and Matthew Perry. Have you seen this? Like, what do you think of this? It's like, hello, I work at the Daily Mail. Do you think I didn't know that Matthew Perry died? I'm sure that I knew that Matthew Perry died before you did, but then you're going to DM it to me and like, tag me in it. Have you seen this? And it's like, what do you want my reaction to be? Like, of course, it's sad when someone dies. So, I mean, do you think that I'm going to have some like hot, hot take or some, like, insight or something? What do you want me to say? A crying emoji? Like, do you want me to performatively say, wow, that's so sad? Like, obviously, people dying's not good. Like, anyone dying is sad. It's just, what do you want for me in this moment that you need to send me that this celebrity died and tag me in it. It's like, |
2:57.2 | girl, it's going to be all over the news for the next, like, three fucking weeks. It's going to be all we talk about. So, whatever. I just watched this new Disney Plus documentary called |
3:03.7 | Colleen Rooney, the real Waggather story. The story is actually juicy as hell. A lot of people |
3:09.7 | know this story anyway. The documentary itself was just boring, very sensationalized. Like, |
3:15.5 | all of these horrible true crime shows are, and I knew it would be. And I'm just like, |
3:20.4 | I knew it was going to be like this, but I thought, let me give it a chance. And then it |
3:23.8 | turned out to be exactly what I thought it would be. But we're going to get into that. Let me just, like, give you some background on the actual scandal if you're not across it. So this whole thing has actually been going on for years. It started because these wag in the UK, Colleen Rooney, she married one of the top UK footy players, like one of the best in the country, right? And then she realized at some point that somebody was leaking stories about her to the Sun newspaper, which is a tabloid, and they were getting the stories from her close friends tab on Instagram. You know how you make close friends and then only they see the stories. A lot of gay guys use that to post their nudes and stuff. She had it to, |
3:58.8 | I don't know, post things that she didn't want out there. So the leaks were going on for a year or two, |
4:02.7 | and then she started to suspect that it was this other wag named Rebecca Vardy, who was behind it. So |
