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. We are gonna discuss what’s coming up later today. Got some videos coming out, going live twice, two different times.
Today we’ll talk about that. We are going to talk about Rachel Lindsay on the Morally Corrupt Podcast, giving her thoughts on Nick and Natalie, and I thought this was an excellent breakdown. It’s about two and a half minutes long. We wanna listen to the whole thing. Thought it was an excellent breakdown on what Rachel said about Nick and Natalie.
Also, Hillary Duff’s song is out. She played about 30 seconds of it. On her Instagram, we’re gonna take a listen to it ’cause I’ve got thoughts and let’s get started. So, you know, episodes four and five of the traders came out last night on Peacock. I don’t expect everybody to have watched those two episodes by now, so that’s why I wait until this afternoon, 3:00 PM Eastern Time on my YouTube channel.
It’s free. Go there. I’ll be putting links on my social media channels when I go live, but. Get ready for that. Three o’clock today, Eastern Time. Two Central, one Mountain noon Pacific. I will be giving my recap of episodes four and five of the traders last night. Can’t really say the round tables were all that intriguing, but I definitely have some thoughts on last night’s episode that’s coming up at three Eastern Time and then eight o’clock Eastern time tonight.
We’re waiting two weeks for this. I’ve been waiting my whole life for this to watch Grease two live on my Patreon and sing along. Now, obviously I know the words to pretty much every song, all 12 songs in that movie, but I don’t wanna sing over the songs ’cause I want people to appreciate them. So I have to somehow have a little self-control tonight.
But that’s coming up on my Patreon channel tonight, 8:00 PM Eastern Time, a live rewatch of grease. Two patreon.com/reality, Steve. But boy, that’s gonna be a fun time. Like there’s no other way around it. This is my guilty pleasure, whoever I had on a couple weeks ago, I think I asked them what their guilty pleasure was.
Guilty pleasure, movie or TV show that people wouldn’t expect. Again, if you’ve listened to me long enough, you’ve heard me say this in a few podcasts, they’ve been spaced out, so I don’t even remember when I said them, but I know I have. I’ve said, anytime Pitch Perfect comes on HBO or any of the movie channels, I stop down and watch it no matter where it is in the movie.
And now I tell you that this is easily Grease two, one of my guilty pleasures. So I’m like, wait a second. Steve, you’re two guilty as pleasures when it comes to movies, of movies that people probably wouldn’t expect you to like are both, well, I wouldn’t call them musicals. Pitch Perfect isn’t a musical, I guess Grease is technically a musical, right?
’cause it was a Broadway play. Does that make it a musical? Whatever. I guess I just like songs with music in it, especially really campy, corny songs and Grease Two has literally 12 of them. Not to mention just the, I don’t know how many people have actually paid attention to either the lyrics in the songs or just the dialogue in the movie.
This movie is so sexually charged and like literally everything out of one of the T-Bird mouth. Is a sexual innuendo, if not a blatant sexual remark towards a woman on this show, on this, in this movie. It is. It is utterly hilarious. Yet the T-Bird are kind of the dorks in this movie and the whole narrative.
Of the cool kids at school, the cool guys, the leather jackets and the women trying to impress them, which is what Grease was all about. Grease two flips that on his head. The women are in control in Grease two, and the men are bumbling idiots even though they try to act cool. It’s actually really funny when you look at it in that perspective, so you know, I’ve spent some time this week talking about the Nick and Natalie interview with Austin Kroll from Southern Charm and.
My take has pretty much parroted, or you could say others, have we all pretty much have the same take? Every content creator who has talked about this, and there are plenty. I mean, my gosh, the amount of content creators that are talking about Nick and Natalie’s interview with Austen. Kroll is way more than you probably think.
Everybody’s talking about this and now I feel like they’ve moved on to the same take that I had. The next day, which was, I cannot believe these two haven’t apologized. Like first the take was, here’s what she said. I can’t believe she’s so insensitive. How was this not edited out? And now those same content creators are putting up new posts saying it’s unbelievable that these two haven’t apologized.
Which again, it is, it’s just, it makes no sense and it kind of shows you what kind of people that they are. I just, I just wish more people. Who have things to say about those two behind closed doors would actually put their money where their mouth is. Sometimes you just, you just wish, because however you think of Nick and Natalie, there are other people that are holding stuff back.
I can, I can pretty much guarantee you that, but Rachel. She has her higher learning podcast with Van Lathan, but she’s also on a podcast called Morally Corrupt, and I was tipped off to this yesterday and they spent a good probably 15 or 20 minutes on this. But I’m gonna play two and a half minutes of Rachel Lindsay talking about her issue with Nick and Natalie.
And you gotta remember Natalie, or excuse me, Nick was the Bachelor when Rachel was one of his contestants. She finished third. Rachel and Nick do not have a bad relationship. This isn’t just somebody that doesn’t like Nick coming out and just trashing him for the sake of trashing him. This is somebody who, you know I, are they close friends that text all the time?
No, but she doesn’t have a negative relationship with Nick and Natalie. She has been on the vial files before Natalie was ever on the show, and since Natalie has joined the show. So she’s fine with them, but this is why I like what Rachel has to say so much because it doesn’t come across as, oh, you’re just bitter.
You just don’t like him. No, this is somebody who literally says, I’m cool with them, but they need to be called out when they screw up. It’s as simple as that. So here’s two and a half minutes of what Rachel said yesterday.
But this is what I’ll say about her. They get a lot of big guests. Huge, and they deal, and they have a lot of, when they get, they get them first, meaning they get to deal with the controversy, the gossip.
So she’s not a stranger to hard hitting questions. You’re right. Or questions that deal around sensitive topics. It seemed like almost like she was reading it and asking questions at the same time to say, what’s this cliff? I just, I remember, oh
my god,
I remember when Austin told the story on Southern Charm and it was devastating.
I mean, we knew he was there. We knew, um, you know, his whole family was there. They’re on this trip. I mean, it. I, you just don’t really hear about people. Mm-hmm. Like, somebody dying is tragic, period. A child dying feels even more tragic ’cause it just feels like things were cut short, but then in such a tragic way, mm.
I just have, you never really, you don’t hear about that as much. So it was just, it was very, very heavy and it gave us, it peeled back a layer of Austin who was presented as this drunken fuckboy running around Charleston, and it was like, no. There’s some depth here. He’s really been through something that most people haven’t been through, and you really understood Austen in a different way.
That’s the kind of sensitivity I would’ve brought to that conversation, even though I don’t even think it should have even been had.
I agree.
This is why I think she should apologize because I actually, and maybe I’m just too vocal and I just run my mouth too much, but I don’t feel like I could fully do my job as a podcaster if I’m running away.
From controversy that even I’m a part of, I spec specifically with their show. They report news that happens in pop culture, but they also opine on it. They go back and forth with it. They offer their own opinions. So now when you’re the story, why are you not saying, Hey, that was, I should have addressed that better.
You don’t have to make an excuse, but just say, I’m so sorry. I wanna apologize to Austin. Anybody who felt a certain way by what I did, I was wrong. I should have handled it completely different. You know, in no way should it, should you feel that I was being insensitive or I didn’t care, or you know, like there’s, that is an easy thing to do.
Of course, I don’t think that, and they have a history, from what I’m told. I don’t listen to their show regularly of when they are the topic of conversation. Whether it’s them personally or something on their show, they don’t really address it. And I actually think that does a disservice to your listeners and to what you do as a show.
But that’s just me and I say this as their friends.
Excellent, excellent recap by Rachel there. By the way, Michelle Collins, who is a host herself, was the other voice you heard in that podcast. I’m gonna give you my thoughts on this after we come back from this break. It’s podcast brought to you by Zocdoc finding a doctor.
