You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality. Steve Podcast, I’m your host reality. Steve, thank you all for tuning in on this Friday Good show heading into the weekend. Again, a reminder. For the Patreon Tonight Live rewatch of the classic Grease two. We’re also gonna discuss some New Year’s Eve programming that I witnessed.
We might already have one day into the new Year, a new A-list Power couple in the celebrity world. You know who I’m talking about. And there is going to be a revival of one of my favorite shows ever. And it’s coming in about a month. I didn’t even know this until yesterday and I saw the trailer for it.
I’ll tell you what that is and we’ll get to all that momentarily. So tonight, 8:00 PM Eastern Time, seven Central six Mountain five Pacific Live, rewatch of Greece. Two. patreon.com/reality. Steve, it’s only $5 a month or $48 if you pay for the year upfront. 12 months for the price of 10. We’ve done a rewatch at least one a week outside of last week.
We’ve done one a week, whether it was rewatching a classic TV show, or we’ve watched all three back to the Future movies. I think those are the only movies we’ve done right. Well, here’s our second movie that we’re doing, and it is Grease Two. You’d be like, Steve, why aren’t you doing Grease? Doesn’t everybody know that movie?
Yeah, probably. But if you haven’t been introduced to Grease two, you’re missing out because Grease Two for My Money is better than Grease. And also if you’re pro-woman, it doesn’t even have to be feminist. But if you’re pro woman. Woman’s rights and you support women, you realize how misogynistic and over the top alpha male grease is.
Literally, the women are just catering to the T-Bird all movie long until the very end When Sandy’s like F this, he’s gonna chase me well. I don’t know if people who watch Grease two and you know, you don’t have to do this psychoanalysts analysis of the movie, but if you really think about it, grease two is so much more pro-women and the guys and the T-Bird in Grease two are basically bumbling idiots yet it’s so funny.
And literally in the second one, the T-Bird are chasing the Pink Ladies, which is a total flip of the script. From the first movie. Now it’s done in a more funny and campier way, but an all time classic. Plus. I got some notes from that movie that I don’t even know. One of them I knew, but I had forgotten for years.
One of ’em I didn’t know literally until last week. I had no clue, and I’m wondering if any of you knew this. I will share it on the Patreon tonight. So that’s coming up patreon.com/reality, Steve, at eight o’clock Eastern time tonight. So be there or be square. You know, Wednesday night I think I ended up finishing my sports daily recording about eight minutes before midnight.
So turned on the tv, was watching some shows. I watched the ball drop at. 11:00 PM Central Time. So I watched the East Coast Ball drop. I was watching pretty much a, B, C. I was watching Ryan Seacrest, the Dick Clark, new Year’s Eve. They’re still calling it the Dick Clark rocking New Year’s Eve, right? There are some things that I wanted to point out from what I witnessed on just that show.
Obviously there’s other stuff going on. I’ve seen clips of Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen getting blitzed once again. They seem like a fun time. I just haven’t ever turned on CNN on New Year’s Eve ’cause I’ve just never been a New Year’s Eve guy. I just had it on kind of in the background, wasn’t really paying attention to too much, but two things I wanna point out on the Seacrest Show on a b, C, number one, Diana Ross performed about 10 minutes before midnight eastern time and she won gazillion percent lip synced.
I understand it. She’s what in her eighties. So I get it. She’s not gonna live, perform, and she did a medley of songs. She must have sang five, six songs. I didn’t expect her to be on point in every transition to a new song. So of course she had tracking vocals that she was singing over, and then some of the times she wasn’t even moving her mouth and her voice was playing.
So again, most performers do this. This isn’t new. So I don’t know why anyone would ever get offended about a live performer not singing. I mean, if they didn’t sing the whole time and they, you know, charged you two to 300 bucks for a ticket to their concert and they never sang once, that’d be a little disturbing and that’d feel like a ripoff.
’cause then it’s like, well, why didn’t I just go into my car and play their album if it’s just. They’re singing track from their album and they’re going to lip sync over it. That doesn’t make any sense. No, I get it. The other thing I wanted to point out about a B C’s show, and I, maybe they’ve done this in recent years, I don’t even know, but it was sponsored by Planet Fitness.
So you know when they pan to the crowd all the time in Times Square, those people always have hats on. They have glasses on that’s say 2026. Over the eye parts. You know what I’m talking about. They’ve got streamers, all this stuff. Well, since Planet Fitness had their logo on the TV screen, everybody that did have glasses on or a hat, it had Planet Fitness on that.
And maybe this has been going on for years and I just didn’t notice it until last night. But man, we can’t even enjoy New Year’s Eve anymore without any Spawn Con. I mean, really everyone in the front row, some of which look like they probably aren’t, planet Fitness members are wearing Planet Fitness 2026 hats.
It’s like, come on. We don’t need this for that. But I, I, I guess, you know, you gotta get a sponsor for your New Year’s Eve show. I just don’t remember. I, it’s fine to have a sponsor. I just don’t remember everyone in the audience in Times Square wearing gear that had the sponsor for a BBC’s show on it. I don’t ever remember that happening.
It happened on Wednesday night though. Now when you watch Ryan Secrest show. They always, because they’re on the East coast, they always have parties going on in other cities, and they’ll switch to those. And they had an event going on in Las Vegas. There were Bachelor Nation people in Las Vegas, uh, that night.
But the thing that was interesting to me was who hosted the Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rock and Eve show from Las Vegas and it was Julianne Huff. Makes sense. She’s on an A, b, C show. She is a co-host of Dancing With the Stars, and then she co-hosted with Rob Gronkowski who works for Fox. Obviously it’s okay to work for two different networks.
I’m a sports guy. You know this Gronk is one of the top three tight ends in the history of football. Some will argue he’s the best tight end in the history of football. Personally for me, I don’t get the media appeal of him. I understand he’s playing the dumb jock. I understand he’s gonna come across as an idiot.
He’s gonna say stupid things, but he, you know, stick to the football part of that for him, him reading cue cards, sitting on a platform in front of the Bellagio fountains. I, it just, he’s not a New Year’s Eve host, you know, unless he’s gonna rip his shirt off and jump in the Bellagio fountains. Sure. But I just don’t get this Gronk stuff.
I really don’t even get his appeal on the football shows. Honestly, I don’t think he really adds much. But him co-hosting with Julianne Huff in Las Vegas, if you’re not gonna have him be wild and crazy Gronk, then there’s no point in having him. ’cause he was like throwing it to break. He was introducing you coming up later.
It was just so obvious he wasn’t good at reading the teleprompter ’cause it sounded like he was reading. Most hosts are reading teleprompters, but they’re so good at it. They don’t sound like they’re reading. He is. And it just was just a weird pairing. Like I said, I, my biggest thing is I just don’t get the Gronk hype in terms of his media brand.
Okay, great Dumb jock that’s going to host a bunch of different shows. I don’t know. Not for me.
