The Bert Show time to get buzzed on the hot goss from Hollywood with Abby. It's the

0:06.0

Bert Show's entertainment bus. People are begging Greta Gerwig to make a sequel of

0:11.6

the blockbuster hit Barbie. But is she going to like this idea? And I knew it. I knew

0:17.4

it's the money grab. This thing has resonated and is connected with so many women though.

0:23.3

Like I feel like a sequel if it's not as deep and connective as this one is just going

0:30.7

this was a Barbie. You raise her hand or her arm and her boobs grow.

1:25.9

Yeah, it was a real bomb. Do you remember the sugar daddy Ken? Yeah. So there's all
