An Interview With One of London’s Most Well-Known Black Cabbies
"I'm Tom Hutley. I'm 31 years old, London taxi driver. So in 2020, I had a bit of an identity crisis. Of course, you know, pandemic happens, stay at home, you're not allowed to go to work. So I'm thinking, well, if I can't drive my taxi, what am I? What can I do? So I got on YouTube and I was like, I'm just going to make videos about taxi driving, you know, the nuanced stuff, you know, what are passengers like? 75 ,000 people subscribe to Tom's videos, and over 6 million people have watched him driving around London. Most people who do watch Tom are surprised by something. They are surprised that he entirely navigates London without a GPS. Some cab drivers do use a GPS in their cab, but it's more used as a tool. We're not being directed by it. My analogy I would always use is that if you look at a professional chef, they can go into the kitchen, they can make any sort of like, you know, standard kind of recipe, and they can just do it by like intuition. I'll have a pinch of that, I'll do a bit of this, or I'm cooking for this person, I might change the recipe a little bit. Whereas the sat nav, using a sat nav is like going from a cookbook. We can all cook from a cookbook, but it might not turn out as well as what professional chef does. And the professional chefs can be more efficient, they might be able to get it done sooner, have that bit of flair about it. And that's what it's like being a taxi driver. From day to day, the same route I will take one day might not be the same the next day, even 10 minutes apart, you know, because something might have happened on the street, which then influences a small corner of London. And then that then has knock on effects across the rest of London. So how on earth does Tom navigate 25 ,000 streets in London without needing a GPS? Well, he's studied something called the knowledge. So I'll just introduce the knowledge of London. It's capital T, capital K. It's fascinating, even just the name of it just sounds so like prestigious, the knowledge and I'm like, wow. And it's the normalised process examination that us London cab drivers has had since around 1851. Its routes go back to the great exhibition held in Hyde Park during the reign of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. And basically the cab drivers, we've had taxis in London since the 17th century, we was first licensed by Oliver Cromwell, but taxi drivers would frequently get drunk, they would crash their carts of horses and stuff. It was astonishing that we still have a taxi trade today based upon those Hackney carriage drivers of the 18th, 19th century. So they brought in this formalised process called the knowledge whereby the drivers had to learn the streets that they were driving on. So if someone said taxi driver, take me to, they would know exactly where they were going. But yeah, effectively a character building exercise because of how long it would take to get your badge. In those sort of days back in the times of the great exhibition, it might have taken a year or so to do the formalised study to then eventually get to a badge. In my time, it took three years and the average sits around between two and four years. And as we can allude to that the knowledge basically involves learning just about anywhere within London within a six mile radius of Charing Cross, which is roughly the geographical centre of

Bride Magazine Puts Hairy Man In Dress On Latest Cover
"If you're appalled by some of these Victoria's secrets, images, you ain't seen nothing yet. Take a peek at this. Okay, so this is brides today magazine in India. This is their Instagram account and apparently this is their new digital cover, and they're celebrating transgenderism. And if you're listening to this on the podcast, I'm just going to describe it. It is a very, very hairy man. Lots of arm hair, lots of poly back hair. Lots of hair, just everywhere. I mean, lots of hair. Facial hair, the whole bit. And he's wearing lots of jewelry as well in a fancy Sari. And a lot of makeup. And this is how they're celebrating transgenderism. So once again, putting people on a pedestal. Now, I got nothing against, you know, you do, you do you and I'll do me, okay? You want to do that fine. But when you start shoving it down people's throat over and over and over again in society and celebrating in a way that I think leaves a lot of young kids really confused, then we're talking a whole different thing. You heard my interview the other day with Chloe Cole, the young girl who at 12 years old was like, I don't really like this old girl thing because she's going through all the things that girls go through at 12, 13, 14, 15 by 15. They had operated on her and done a double mastectomy, and she realized, you know what, that wasn't going to solve any of her problems. That she actually did want to be a woman. And now she can't even get them to pay for reconstructive surgery. They're of no help. She wants to transition fine. The medical community do anything to help her detransition whole other story. So I think that this sort of push, which is designed to make us all more accepting, it may come from some good intention somewhere I actually don't think it does. I think it's extremely political. But let's just assume that they're trying to do this so that we're all a little bit more open minded. Okay, fine, but you're taking it to a whole other level.

Will the GOP Ever Get Justice? Joe and Victoria Weigh In
"Ask you something that maybe is in politic, I hear conservatives say, oh, the Democrats, they're so stupid and Alvin Bragg is so dumb because what's sourced with the goose is sourced for the Gander and then when we win we'll do it to their presidents and their democratic leaders. They never will, right? That's what I'm saying. They've never will. What are we talking about? It's going to rip up the markers of queensbury rule book. I mean, the only person who did that was president Trump. Am I wrong? No, you're right. You're absolutely right. And he really didn't do that. I mean, he just gave him a little bit of their own medicine. But he never would have arrested. He never would have seen him. Now he might. But the idea that, oh, they're so stupid 'cause we'll do it to them next time. It's asinine, isn't it? They know that we will not act that way. But I do believe though that when Alvin Bragg crossed the Rubicon and did something that no one has ever done in the history of our country, which is indicted, former president, on obviously fabricated charges, that that set a new standard and the Democrats accepted it. Remember, almost all Democrats didn't say anything about it. Who in any position of prominence on the left said it was wrong? Nobody. And so what that means to me is they have accepted that standard. Yes. They have accepted that standard. And so I say to them, fine, you're going to get that standard. And I believe that every democratic politician in Congress in the House and the Senate in the House and the Senate should be looked at by every Republican prosecutor in the country for any violation of the law within their state.

Why Joe Biden Should Never Be in Office With Victoria Toensing
"Was, well, one main reason, amongst hundreds, why Joe Biden should never be in public office again, let alone the president, and this is the reason. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace. It is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks. Who in any way deign to think for themselves? And it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, you will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured, by a committee of the U.S., U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree. God bless that man. I love watching that clip, especially with Ginny Thomas in the background looking steely eyed at her husband, supporting him in his refusal, refusal to surrender before the scum, and the bigots of the Democrat party and especially the chairman of that committee, who was who? Joe Biden, a racist who didn't want a black conservative on the Supreme Court. And now Victoria, they're going after him again the same thing. It's his turn again. Right. Because you know Brett Kavanaugh had false accusation of the sexual attack. And the woman couldn't remember where or when. And all of her witnesses denied that they remember anything like that happening. And then Schumer went out in front of the Supreme Court. And said, you've got such and Kavanaugh, you have reaped the world. And then Amy. Was she was mocked for being a handmaiden, which the definition is that you're a woman who's subservient to everyone. I don't think that's quite fitted. And then she was criticized for adopting a black child. And

Biden Campaign Caught in Outrageous Lie
"Continuing our in studio discussion with Joe Victoria town sing just a little reminder of what the incumbent of The White House said about the laptops from hell. There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this he's accusing me of is a Russian plant. They have said that this has all the four 5 former heads of the CIA, both parties say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except them. His and his good friend, Rudy Giuliani. You mean the laptop is now another Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. That's exactly what this is exactly what this is where he's going. At that point is Dan bongino said president Trump should have pulled out from his pocket, the signed receipt from Hunter Biden for the laptops with his name and address. Things could have changed forever. As one of our team members asked in the meeting for the show today, what we now know happened under sworn testimony that Obama's former acting director of the CIA was approached by the Biden campaign in the form of Anthony blinken to corral former intelligence officers and directors of the FBI to sign a letter which is, of course, a lie that the hunter laptop is fake. It's Russian propaganda. That's outrageous. That's banana republic. But there's no crime that can be pinned on that, is there? Well, we've been thinking about that. And in light of Alvin Bragg's activities in New York and the effort to have other prosecutors around the country get creative on the Republican side, we believe that when that debate was held in Nashville, Tennessee, that a crime could be analyzed as possibly being committed and that was when blinken got morel to get all those other 50 people to sign that letter. That constituted a conspiracy to make an illegal campaign contribution in time in the form of the letter, which was then used by the vice president, the president excuse me. The vice president at that time, in that debate,

Joe DiGenova Reacts to Hunter Biden's Potential Federal Charges
"A heading here from NBC News, which would seem to corroborate this, just the headline, federal prosecutors have considered four charges against Hunter Biden. My issue with this, although it does come from one Ken delanian, who is known to be a mouthpiece for the intelligence community. Having dealt with him, I had to hang up on it. They say in the UK has form. But there's one issue with that. They've been sitting on this investigation in Delaware for more than two years. Two and a half years. So first things first, we'll talk about your solution in a moment. Your reaction to the breaking news is this credible that they want to prosecute Hunter Biden? Yes, yes, it is. But here's the problem for them. They still have a complicit media on their side. So they're going to pull punches even when they might be telling a partial truth. This investigation has been sitting in Delaware for much too long. Which is a state that basically the bidens control. That is 6 years. It's Mississippi 1964 in Delaware. Now, what happens is Weiss gets the case. He's the Trump holdover U.S. attorney. He gets the case. They keep him there to do it. Now, this is the kind of case that a young assistant U.S. attorney would complete within one full year. It's all bank records. It's not complicated. There are a few witnesses. You bring them in, you put them in the grand jury. It's a tax evasion. You have a case. Yeah, without even getting to the unauthorized foreign agents act, foreign without any of that. This tax case could have been made in 12 months without any problem. Why did it sit around? Because pressure was put on that office not to bring the indictment. We're

Former U.S. Attorney Reveals Serious Hunter Biden Crimes
"The first hour with former U.S. attorney for D.C., former Senate intelligence committee staffer George journal of Victoria tan Singh. And we discussed what's happening with the Hunter Biden laptop investigations, the IRS of whistleblower fascinating stuff, got to run something past you that is kind of swirling around the conservative biosphere. Biosphere. You like that? That's kind of fancy lingo. That the left is throwing Joe under the bus because of the haunted thing now becoming a criminal investigation openly. I don't know about that. I think it's going to be even if it comes out on the wrist or a fine. You know, you're an attorney. Attorney council to the president, you've been a campaign staffer. You senior adviser strategic adviser over the years. What's your read about what's going on? When this popped up, almost a year ago, because at the same thing, oh, it's a Democrat strong, but it doesn't appear to me that way. There's one thing that appears to be for sure is that Hunter Biden seems to have committed very serious crimes. Much more serious than the misdemeanors and even the single felonies that have been reported so far. I think the whistleblower from the IRS is a major problem for them. And also, by the way, the news yesterday on a separate issue that Mike morell, the former interim CIA director, coordinated that fake letter about the Hunter Biden laptop for the Biden campaign. And via the request from Anthony blinken was working on the campaign who's now the Secretary of State. Oh, he is. Well, the Chinese don't think so. Right, the Chinese do not. They do nothing. He doesn't seem to be getting a lot of respect from anybody, blinken, does he? So he's going to bring you blankets to Ukraine. Yeah, indeed, indeed. So if this is where we're at, if this isn't a serious threat, I got to ask you the perennial question. Can the Democrats let slow Joe run? It seems that way. I mean, the reporting is that he's announcing next week. That's the latest. So guys, if you missed this, the latest last 24 hours is that the big announcement from slow Joe Beijing Biden will be next week that he's officially running, although he's not running.

The Funny Thing About Pride With Victoria Jackson
"About pride, it's funny to me when people say I'm proud I'm black or first of all, every perfect gift comes from above from the father of lakes with whom there's no shadow of turning. So we can't be proud of our talent. We can't be proud of our looks. We can be proud of our money. We can be proud of anything because God gave it to us. You can't help how you were born. If you were white or black or Greek, you can't even control that. So how can you be proud of that? Just saying. No, the point will take in good point. Yeah, so that's why I mean about pride and but yeah, you're right. It's mostly about arrogance and conceit and all that.

SNL Alum Victoria Jackson Speaks Out at Tennessee City Council Meeting
"Talking to Victoria Jackson who performed with Saturday Night Live for many years was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson 20 times and today lives in the Nashville area and recently spoke out at a town council. So Victoria, you decided to say something that most people don't say anymore. They don't get into it. But the idea that God denounces homosexuality as aberrant behavior as a moral behavior doesn't denounce people, loves everybody, but it's interesting that you were willing to say that at this town council, because typically people avoid that issue, which used to be kind of a basic Christian value. And again, this is not about condemning people. We're supposed to have compassion on everybody because we all struggle with something, but you did you did say that at this town council and your short 62nd presentation. Yes, I'm tired of them making us bow down to what they believe and it's like, why are we so afraid and it's done about me? It's about God. What is God think? Who cares what my opinion is. But anyway, so I thought, okay, God hates it. He saw them in gamora. Which is still there. And it's a sulfur. Someone told me that brimstone sulfur, right? You need to read my book. Victory.

"Voices in the gay community. Now again, you and I were Christians. We're not down with the whole gay thing, but we see that there are people there rational voices in that community saying we're against groomers. We're against the sexualization of children. We're against these displays in front of children. And even so, people are afraid other people are afraid to speak against this. Yes. Because we don't want to be looked at as haters or called homophobic or we're not hating anyone to say please don't sexualize our children or show them porn. I want to tell everybody the best place to see these beautiful speeches. This week, last week, a 106 people signed up to speak for both sides. I think there was like 70 who were against in 30 who were four, and then of course there was a tie four to four on the city hall and the mayor broke the tie with the yes because he wants so the mayor of Franklin is programmer. The mayor of Franklin is pro groomer, pro the sexualization of children. Isn't that sweet? Yes. Bless his heart, Victoria.

But part of it is because you speak the truth when other people may be shrink from doing that. And give us the background because people don't know, you live in the Nashville area. Tell us what happened. Tell us your version of the story. Okay. So Tuesday, I got a text message, it went out to a lot of people from the moms for liberty organization. This woman Robin used to be a bomber pilot in the military. For real, she's awesome. Most moms are not bomber pilots. I just want to be very clear with my audience just so they understand most moms tend not to be bomber pilots, but you're telling me that you've got a text. This is over a week ago from a woman with moms for liberty and what did the text say? It said, all forces, can you hear my dog marking? Yes, I can. Is that a bad thing? Well, she's outside. I mean, if I let her in, she won't burn. Well, okay, let's let her in. Okay, the dog is back in the house, not barking. So Vicky, you were just saying, you got a text from your friend, mom's for liberty. It's about a week ago. And what is she saying? She said, everybody show up tonight is the vote on whether or not they're going to have the gay pride parade and Franklin. Okay. So your friend is telling you, show up at a council, a city council meeting in Franklin because they're voting on whether to have a gay pride parade and Franklin. And I was just a new thing for Franklin because there's so many parts of the country where they have these parades, is this something that has happened before and Franklin and that they're trying to make a decision on whether to continue. Okay, this is a new thing. They had it last year. I believe that was the first or second year. I'm not sure if it was the first time. I think it was the first time. I'm not sure. But they had it last year and people were appalled and offended because there was pornographic dancing done in front of children in the gay pride parade.

Joe and Victoria's Legal Advice to President Donald Trump
"Advice would you give president Trump and president Trump's attorneys right now? Well, they have to file motion. There's all kinds of emotions in the first one would be the statute of limitations. But I don't know the motion practice in the New York City courts. I don't know if they do them. Or all at once. I would think all at once because that's the usual practice. So they not only have the statute of limitations, but they have the change of venue that we talked about earlier. And he's got to proceed with this. He can't just stay in Mar-a-Lago, even though Bragg says he won't bring charges against anybody who resists arrests. So you can take that into account, but he's got to go with the process. He's got to show that he's compliant with the law. And he's going to do it through the judicial process, however, difficulty that may be in New York. Joe legal and communications advice, what would you say? Well, I think the communicating needs to be done by someone else, but that's almost an impossibility with him, assuming there's a gag order he won't have any choice. There will have to be a third party doing it who I'm assuming Donald Trump will direct and fine tune the message. Legal file as many motions as possible now change the venue. I like Alan suggestion of Staten Island or upstate New York, change a venue. Of course, motion to dismiss for prosecutorial misconduct, which is legion in this case. So there's lots to do. A statute of limitation, of course, motion to dismiss that the case was brought beyond the statute of limitations.

Joe and Victoria Unpack the Legal Theories Around Trump's Indictment
"So far because they've been so many leaks out of Bragg's office, we seem to know that this is a 7 year old misdemeanor that expired 5 years ago that they're trying to connect to some kind of federal election violation felony or a tax evasion case. That doesn't seem to hold water. Could there be anything else or do we think this is the current legal theory? Well, what we've heard is that there are 30 counts. What that probably means is that each book entry or each check that was written to cover the $130,000. And each entry in the computer to keep a track of it is a separate count. Right. That's probably why they're 30 counts. Knowing what we know about the case, I can't conceive of it being anything else. But Seb, you're right, and that it doesn't hold water, because to violate the federal elections law, campaign finance money had to be used. Trump paid it out of his personal funds. And there should be no other reason than to help your election to spend the money, even if it were campaign finance. That isn't the facts aren't there for that kind of situation. So there's just no violation of the federal elections law. And of course, we have the letter from Michael Cohen's attorney that says the money's paid to stormy Daniels were in fact Michael Cohen's explicitly had nothing to do with the Trump organization or the Trump campaign.

Why Is Trump's Indictment Still Sealed? Joe and Victoria Weigh In
"Talk about the primary criticism, the left is leveling in the last few hours that, oh, we nobody knows what the charges are. It's a sealed indictment. It could really end up with president Trump in prison. First things first, why is this indictment still sealed? Well, that's a very good question. In fact, just a few moments ago, I sent an email to a lawyer who practices in Manhattan court because I've never heard of such a thing. Usually indictments are sealed when someone is a fugitive, and they don't want them to know that they're being pursued. This is ridiculous. This is designed by mister Bragg to prevent himself apparently from being embarrassed. I can't think of any legitimate legal reason for it to be sealed. So we get to talk about the indictment of president Trump, Nancy Pelosi gets to say, oh, he can prove his innocence. And yet we can't look at the charges. And evaluate them. I think this is all part of a plan. And

"Of yesterday afternoon that a local district attorney has decided for the first time in American history. To charge a former president with a crime. Is that moment? Alvin Bragg has changed America forever. Why? Because the former president, my former boss, isn't simply a former politician. President Donald J Trump is, right now, the leader of the opposition to the incumbent power, in America. Every single poll that we've seen in the last few weeks puts him at least 20 to 40 percentage points against above beyond ahead of the next challenger in line. There's only been a handful of people who say they want to be the next Republican president, Nikki Haley, Vivek Kramer Swami, John Bolton, everybody knows Ron DeSantis is running. And he's second to president Trump, but a far distance second.

And watch the moon sky look right I play the radio southern station. So. Folks welcome back to this session where I talk to my friend Victoria Jackson, Vicki. I'm just so proud of you that you're doing these things. It thrills me. And I have to now look on my phone and find a video you sent me because I never ignore anything anyone sends me. I'm just so busy that I look at it and then I get distracted and I'm in awe that you all did this and that your husband, Paul, the famously taciturn, ex cop, Paul, would do this. That's just please give him my love and tell him thank you because men need to step up. He's a real man and boy he has stepped up. Yeah. Unlike this man, I was going through my mom's wedding album. Yeah. She died and I'm going through her stuff. This is her wedding day. Yeah. Can you see it? I think I can see it. It's hard on the radio, but go ahead. My dad is kissing this woman on the lips with my mom standing there in her bridal gown. Oh, I didn't understand that. I'm glad I didn't understand it. That would have disturbed me. That would have messed me up. I'm telling men, don't do this. Don't do this. Yeah, I don't think, I don't think men need to be told that I think most men know not to do that. Then why do they keep doing it? I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, I don't know anybody that does that, Vicki. You need to get into a better circle of Friends because if you have friends that are doing that, man, that's crazy. But wait, you have other things you wanted to talk about. Let's jump into it. Aren't you doing if people want to find you online? Where will they look? Victoria Jackson dot com, then I have an Instagram. I think it's Victoria Jackson official. And then my YouTube channel where my husband is giving this speech that everyone agrees with except for the woke nut people. Well, again, we've got to we've got to establish most people understand that this stuff is crazy. And that's why we have to keep speaking out because we need to encourage those who understand that what's happening is crazy. Stop pretending it's the emperor has no clothes. The clearest example we've ever seen in our own time. We never thought we'd see it. Now, but I want to be clear. So you said that they told you at the tennessean when your husband wrote this article. They said, you can't prove that libraries are carrying this really like porn for kids. It's not just porn gay porn, woke porn. You went to the library and you got the book. So we know this is true. You are not just saying this. They're teaching they're teaching in the young adult section, which is teenagers. They're teaching sodomy, how to do it. They're drawing, there's pictures of it. There's photos. It's like a cartoon. I'm just forgive me for cringing. But I just can't believe that, I mean, I want to believe that that's true, but I know it is. Okay. What I want to tell you is my friend was talking about kinky stuff. And we were discussing it. And I was like, well, I don't think I know. And I went to bed in the middle of the night. I sat up and I went. Simon and gamora. Hello. If anyone's wondering if the Grammys offended God, the song called unholy, and all the other songs, if anyone wonders, God told us very clearly, sodom and gomorrah. I believe he may have judged those cities at one time. I'm not sure if I'm getting that right. My knowledge of the Old Testament isn't what it used to be. But I believe fire descended from heaven and obliterated those places. In fact, I write about it in my book is atheism dead. I read about the archeological evidence. And it's kind of funny because we don't even talk about this anymore. What you just said, I mean, the word sodomy, of course, comes from the biblical sodom. When we come back, we will talk much less about sodomy and more about some other things with Victoria Jackson. Membership he's apply after free trial, cancel any time. Can I be real for a second?

"I think that's it. Oh, I don't want to remind people February 28th. Socrates in the city, it's going to be so special. I beg you if you can get there, go to the website, check it out. Talk to you in the city. Dot com. Alvin, yes, yes. Are you serious things to talk about? Yes. The other day I saw something online, I commented on Twitter, some either senator or probably a congressman was wearing a pin. Yeah. You want to talk about this? Yeah, yeah, in fact, Tucker Carlson covered it a couple of nights ago. It was a pin that said in a couple of people were wearing it, by the way. It said abortion in the word, the letter O had a heart in it. And I said to my wife, I said, first of all, I can't believe it. They're out of the closet, 'cause you would think they would have the word choice with a heart in it. Because they kept saying it's about choice, folks. It's not about abortion. It's about choice. But it's an abortion with a heart in the O. That is sick. Well, wait a minute. I mean, what I commented on my Twitter thing was that there's an unintentional irony. These super jug heads by trying to promote abortion with a little heart remind you of the little heart of the child killed in an abortion. They obviously didn't think about this. So this is as anti abortion as you can imagine, but that they would proudly wear this. And I thought, why don't they think of something even cuter than that? Like kill kids with a Z at the end. Or rumors. Groomers with a Z at the end were at that point that the madness is out in the open and we need all to understand that, yeah, it's out in the open. They're crazy. This is evil. So anyway, we just mentioned something cheerful. Yeah. I mean, there's no shame in it. Groomers could have two hearts with like little hands holding each other, right? Yeah. That would be so sweet. Okay. Before we go to Victoria Jackson and it gets so wacky, you won't be able to stand it. We should get serious for a minute. We're doing a emergency and emergency appeal, okay? Today, tomorrow, this is it. The earthquake in turkey, I don't know the latest count. It's over 20,000. It keeps changing. It is really a disaster and a nightmare, but we can do something about it. The Salem media team, all the Salem radio hosts have decided to do an emergency appeal because if we don't get help to them now, like right now, it's useless. The situation there is really devastating the thing you hear this a lot in other countries. This is why we should be proud to live in this country. When something goes wrong in a lot of these other countries, the people are furious at the government because of the ineptitude of the rescue efforts, the relief efforts, nonexistent in many cases. And so Americans usually step in. That's what we do. God bless America. We self sacrificially give out of our treasure, we have been blessed and we do this. This is an opportunity to be a great American. This is an opportunity to live out your faith..

"So there's different categories that people can purchase if you get accepted. So there's an apparel. So someone has a T-shirt license. Someone has a toothbrush. Someone has the dog beds. Whatever categories. So he created the fine art category for me. And in my fine art category actually, I started working with the other licensees if they wanted to use my artwork on their product. So I could be in there look book, you know, because they had to submit everything to Playboy in order to go, oh, we want to put this design on this towel, can we do this and it's a pretty long process. I of course didn't have to do any of that because have said just let her do what she wants because it's art. So I was really fortunate that way. And I did have the license for 11 years. It reupped every three years, and then somehow it ended on the 11th year. I don't remember how, but it ended on the 11th year. This time, and at 11 years, and I said, you know, I just, I'm not going to renew it and have said, are you sure you sure you don't want to just before he passed away? And I said, no. Because I need to move on with my career. And I don't want to be pigeonholed as the Playboy artist. And I want to, you know what I mean? That's easy to do. But I'm also getting older. And as I get older, you know, stand on the Playboy artist isn't it? Great as saying I'm a fine artist moment. So anyways, that's the art story. So when you mentioned that you signed a contract, is that a contract that they kind of own your likeness for whatever they want to use it? Or did you sign the contract saying you're going to be a playmate of the month? So the contract at that time was different because there was no dot com and everything. When there was, it had just started. So I was actually the last year where I'd even bought my own name Victoria fuller dot com at around that time. Those 96, right? 96 or something. 96 when I came out, but I did my pictures two years before that. Oh, wow. Okay. I waited a year and a half to be published. So I was the last one to be able to have a dot com after that, any girls weren't able to do a dot com or a fan club site for two years and Playboy would buy up their name and give it back to them after two years. So the contrast basically said, I'm not going to do nudity with anybody else. I'm not going to work in a strip club kind of a thing. And that I was obligated to a certain amount of duties and work and stuff like that in order to get the $25,000 playmate fee that they offer you. And the playmate fee sounds really great. $25,000 when you're 23 years old sounds like a lot of money, but they give it to you over two years. So they give you first to give you a check for $5000, which you get 40% by the government taken out. And so on and so forth, right? So they kind of give it to you in chunks because when they gave it to the girls all at once a couple of girls just didn't do the jobs or whatever. So they had to modify it. But it's only a two year contract. And then after that, they basically just don't, you know, I mean, have never wanted the girls to do anything. He doesn't want them waitressing, prostituting, stripping, posing for the other magazines that are new. That's a definite no no. And it doesn't say that in the contract, so to speak. And when the contract's over, it's just kind of a mental contract. Like if you do those things, have not gonna really want you at the pigeon. Yeah, he doesn't want there to be a fine line between women of the night and bunnies. He wanted the bunnies to be very classy and a brand. Yeah. So when you took your pictures for two years earlier, do you know it's going to take that long until they finally use them? Yeah. Wow. So how are you feeling about that? Are they ever going to use these things? That's a long time. Terrible. Well, I waited a half a year. I waited because they said, oh, it's going to take whatever and then the January came and they said, you know what Victoria, we're going to wait until the following January. So they said, trust me, you're going to want to be a year later because then you're younger. You're a year earlier. Longer. And I was like, okay, that's fine. I just thought that they would change their mind. So I was like, of course. Because I really wanted it, but I didn't want to say anything. Keep calling or whatever. And then finally, they called, and they said, okay, we're slated you. So we're going to start filming your wraparounds for your playmate video and filming your video and all that kind of stuff. And I was like, yay. That's amazing. So

"We're recording. Oh my God. Some of her bridesmaids are even younger than her. And I was just like, I'm sold. Tell me, teach me. What are you doing? What are these pants you all wear that are ripped on the front that where do I get these things? Do you rip them yourself? I don't know. And then I felt old because that's what my dad said to me when I had ripped jeans back and tenth grade, but yeah, try being in Europe, not a skinny leg in sight. Literally what I was thinking about when I was like pulling out clothes 'cause I'm going to Belgium in a couple weeks to see Julia, and I'm like, I can't wear these pants. I mean, I do. I still wear my skinny jeans. I should stare at my currently obsessed house so we can stop recording. Okay, so my currently obsessed, the film drive my car based roughly on hierarchy or kami story. It's very long. It's an event. You know, you want to sit down and spend an evening with it. But it's very good. And then my, I mean, if we're talking about currently obsessed, the thing that I am so obsessed with, I've watched it. I think four times now is our flag means death on HBO. I just watched two more episodes last night. What episode are you on? I think the last one I watched is when they go to the party. Oh, that's my favorite episode. That one's really good. Oh, it's so good. Oh my gosh. I don't feel like it's a jump scare when Nick Kroll shows up in something. I will say, I guess light to major our flag means death spoilers is like obviously I know that they're gonna kiss and be in love at the end of the season. But I was like some people were surprised by that and I was watching like episode four yesterday and I was like obviously this guy got stabbed and the other guy's like sitting by his bedside like watching him breathe like he's like the gayest thing I've ever seen like are you guys okay? That you were like I'm shopping at this turn of events like oh my God. It's a very gay show but apparently people who are watching it as it was airing like the way that they promoted the show was they didn't refer to they didn't refer to it as a love story until the final episodes aired. The last two episodes aired together and the audience didn't really share it with their friends because they were so afraid like they've been so burned by other creators Supernatural. Supernatural, Sherlock. Like think about the audience that this that this is, you know, it's people, my friend and I make jokes of like, if you've been personally victimized by Steven Moffat, this is the show for you, the newer watching, but yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. I just want to make a PSA. I was like, I love the Victoria. I got that reference, but it is so cruel to John Locke shippers and whatever, when they made that show very gay and they just refused to acknowledge it and made everyone feel stupid for reading into it. So anyway, so a bunch of people were very afraid of being burned, and the creator didn't feel the need to clarify. She was like, it's obviously very gay, of course it's a love story. What are you talking about? And so he just, he didn't realize, until there was this huge reaction to the kiss where they were like, wait, this is text? They're actually in love. We're doing this, and all of a sudden exploded, and there's been these huge word of mouth suddenly tons of all the nerds are sharing it. And so then the creator was like, oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize how big of a deal this would be. I didn't understand. I bet you guys knew this was the gay pirate show immediately. I thought you knew that. I'm sorry, guys. I need to watch this. You need to watch the show. Yeah. Yeah, it's really fun. Wait, can I add it to my obsessions because I didn't mention any books. I just mentioned books. Currently reading love and other disasters, which is a rom com, one of the main characters is a queer woman, the other one is a non binary person, and they're competing on a reality cooking show that's kind of like master chef, but with more of a great British bake off of static. Oh my God. And it's really good, and I like it. A lot. And then I'm also reading an arc of honey and spice, which is a RomCom sat at a British university, which I'm like early in and I really like it. So I'm obsessed with both of those. Amazing. So we talk about books. Yeah. So we can bring some books back to it. Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Victoria for joining us. Yeah, thanks for having me.

"Okay, so is there any other final thoughts? Yeah, I think this is like an exciting time for book to, you know, I think the cynical side of you is like, oh, like they just want like IP to, you know, making something new, but I think that there have been a lot of exciting and cool ones. I think this is a great example. I think station 11 is a great example. I think Bridgerton, while not perfect, is a cool example. Bridgerton season two changed a lot about the book. I thought, for the better. And yeah, I think it's like an exciting time for this. I do constantly wonder why Netflix hasn't like option like 1 million romance novels at this point and just like churning out little like romance novel movies or series or something. Honestly, the hallmark channel should get on that. I know they do a lot of original romances. And I'm like, just go buddy up with hibbert and yeah, I mean, Talia is definitely too sexy for the hallmark channel, but they need to like a hallmark X that's what I want. That's what we all want. Right, but like Netflix, it feels obvious to me that Netflix should do that and I don't really know why they're not. They're making a lot of really dumb choices in at the moment. But they have the Evelyn Hugo movie now. Oh they do very excited about that. So we'll see what happens there. Yeah, those are my thoughts. Okay, so you listed a few, but if there's more, what are any recommendations you have for people, whether it's book adaptations, good history, drama is literally anything related. Okay, this is not related, but I'm gonna recommend it anyway. On HBO, if you like horror, or if like me, you're like a horror, curious, but you're not necessarily like a fan and maybe some things are like a little too gruesome. I really recommend the baby, which is an HBO series about a woman who ends up saddled with a baby, and every time she tries to get rid of it, somebody dies. It's British. It's very funny. Oh, I guess this is coming out in the future. So by the time you're hearing this, all the episodes will be on HBO and you can watch the whole thing. In a nice little binge. And it's really good. So obviously it's been stated. I don't watch a ton of TV, but I have watched parts of my brilliant friend. Usually when Julie and I are prepping to record episodes about the books. So my brilliant friend is on HBO and is based on the Alana ferrante novels. And very much like just people living their lives and its drama and its history and its politics. Each season follows one of the four books, so there's a fourth book, so we expect a fourth season, and then I expect they will be done, almost they do more, but they're pretty like true adaptations. They just tighten up some of the timelines because the books are hella long. And amazing. Yeah, and really good. I'm very good. Okay, so I will recommend film and a K drama. So the film, I would recommend, I think I recommended both of these things up a bedroom recommend when we talked about the book. So I'm really original. Do it again. Do it again. So the film is called mirani, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, and during Stephen yen and it's the woman who plays older Sonja plays the grandmother in this film. So there's a little tie in and it is about Korean immigrants in America. She won the Oscar. Yes, and she, yes, she won the Oscar for that role. Yeah. She's incredible. Just go watch anything she's ever done ever. I think that's a great place to start. If you've never watched any Korean film, start with her at work. And then also, if you want a K drama, that's set in a similar time to pachinko, mister sunshine, I would recommend. So our last segment of the show, one of our faves. Things were currently obsessed with, things that are bringing us joy, Victoria, do you want to go first? Yes, things I'm currently obsessed with. When I had COVID in late December, I had previously purchased a crochet kit and when I had COVID I had nothing to do. I was like, I guess I'll do this. So I have been crocheting since then, I would say con is I bought so much yarn. I am so much yarn now, but pro is it's really fun. It's really nice to do while you're listening to an audiobook or a podcast. Yeah, I've made, what have I made? I made two blankets. One myself a beanie the other day. I made some beanies for like Friends. I just finished my first cardigan. It's not what I'm wearing. It's a different one. This is from target. But I made a cardigan right now I'm like making a tank top. It's really fun. There are lots of like crochet Instagram accounts of like a lot of like 23 year old girls who just like make patterns for stuff and then share them for free and there's a lot of YouTube videos. It's very fun. I'm very happy that I started doing this, my grandma used to crochet and she like kinda taught me when I was in middle school, but I immediately was like, I don't care about this. I'm 11. So yeah, it makes me really happy to do it. And yeah, I really recommend it. It's a nice little hobby. I am currently obsessed with a few things. Recipe club is a podcast. I love hosted by Dave Chang. And Cushing and they just started a new season. It's been like a month, but I haven't really been following. I think their last season, I don't know, just like petered out for me, but they like revamped. They have like a new approach. It's like a lot more fun. They're doing listeners submitted recipes now instead of hunting on the Internet last minute because Dave Chang never does anything in advance. But it's just hilarious. I have been doing some little projects for work that a little monotonous and I just put that on and I'm like laughing all day and my partner comes over and he's like, you seem like you're having really fun time and I want to hang out with you because it seems like you're doing fun. Thanks Mike. I'm just listening to podcasts that I'm just laughing along with my buddy Dave Chang. And it's a good time. Other things. If you're in the Cleveland area, where I currently am at my parents house, troubadour coffee is a roaster I discovered, it's like a western suburbs of Cleveland and it is amazing. I can't speak higher of the coffee beans. I maybe they ship, maybe you can order online if you're not Cleveland, but I don't know, it was just really good and the owner was like telling us all about these coffees and I know probably a little too much about coffee resting process and beans because I care. But even then I was like on another level and just the way he describes the coffee. I'm like, it's going to change my life. I'm ready. I'm ready for my life-changing experience. And lastly, I bet shopping my own closet. So I've been traveling a lot recently and so I left all my summer and spring clothes and my parents house. And now that I'm here, it felt like a gift to myself because I got to go through my trunk of clothes and be like, oh, I love this. I'm gonna take this dress. I'm gonna take this top and just like reacquainting myself with my clothes. I don't know why the mind trick of just putting your clothes away for a couple seasons and then bringing it back makes you feel like you are getting a shopping spree. But I did realize all my pants are like out of style 'cause I think I've worn the same cut of pants since 2010. And I think I need to update my pants. The gen zers are pressuring us. I know, I know. I'm like, I can't wear these blue denim skinny jeans anymore. Maybe I can, but I can who cares? What's gonna happen? I know, I've never felt peer pressured by a 19 year old Moore. I just said my cousin's wedding. She's 20 four this week that

"Yeah, speaking of the next season, what are you kind of your guys predictions or hopes, oh boy, you know? I mean, obviously we're gonna meet Noah baby Noah is so cute. Just a little cheeky so immediately heartbreaking from the first moment you see him. It's just like a perfect little baby. I'm interested in what they'll do with Solomon because they basically covered his entire plot. You know? And it's like, okay, what's he gonna do from here? And I feel like for plot, probably he's gonna make a lot of bad decisions. Solomon no, I just want you to be like a happy. Yeah. You know, like, okay buddy, let's figure this one out. Yeah. And now I'm interested too in seeing the younger version of his dad. And one of my friends who I've been talking to you about this, like she's saying that in the book, he's like a little more tougher and vicious, which I had only sort of like vaguely remembered. I had felt like the show was kind of having rid of the buff was sort of like, well, now he's older and he's like a little softer, but it'll be interesting to see what they do with like younger versions of him. I really looking forward to the just diving into him as osteo is a character. That was one of my like, the whole season I was like, there has to be another season. They have this character, and his storyline with his wife, whose Solomon's mother, in the book, is one of my favorites. And maybe because I like to get my heart ripped out, but I just, I think it was, I don't know. I'm interested to see how they do that on screen. I think it will give us a lot of insight into mozzarella as a character. And I'm also very curious how much Solomon knows about Noah, and if that will become a plot point later or if it's just kind of like, he knows his uncle used to be around. It isn't anymore. It doesn't seem like he was around in the book during Solomon's lifetime, but it would be kind of odd to me that Salman doesn't know it all that his dad is a brother. I'm curious if they'll keep sunja and Solomon as the two main characters, or if they'll switch to Noah and mozasu and have their older and younger versions. Like they did with Sanjay. I feel like there is still a lot of sun just story that oh yeah with her like freezing them and yeah, but you're right a one. But it could be from their perspective rather than hers, potentially. Yeah, I don't know. Do we talk about this? We didn't talk about this but I love when she finds out the like her husband has been like meeting with all these radicals and then she like goes to meet them and she like takes Noah with her and like Noah has to like translate for her because she doesn't that was so good and like heartbreaking and yeah, I'm really fucked me up. I thought that was amazing. I think we're getting so much insight already. I mean it's hard because I know what happens in the book but because of the show we don't know about Noah, we just know he's not there but we see all of these traumas that he's experiencing as a kid and we're like, oh this is messing you up somehow and when cohans you like appears at the end and is like walking into school, I was like get the what? It's like Godzilla or something you know you're like no how do you know where I go to school and it's like yeah how do you know and it's like because sun ya doesn't really understand he's like she knows what he's like when they're together but only like kind of and she doesn't really understand like this city and like a mobster and you know sort of like this whole big machine that he's plugged into so by like having she's kind of like okay I'll never see him again like I'm moving on with my life and it just like doesn't really understand the way the sort of like tentacles of his life can kind of like get into everything and it's very scary. I do think the scene at the end where grandma Sandra gives Solomon the watch is a key to me that we're gonna get more of Solomon because it's such like an ominous thing. Like I thought this was a curse and it ended up being a blessing and I hope it is for you. Like I feel like that's like okay it was setting up something. I don't know. It seems like the tail end of this show also was as much setting us up for season two as it was concluding the storyline of season one and I don't like love that either. Like when you can tell that shows are sort of planning for next season rather than just being kind of entities on their own. To me they didn't bother me because it felt like they're so many loose ends. Like there's just like so much that we don't know. So to me it didn't feel like oh like I felt like we got closure on like a lot of big storylines and especially with like her at the end like selling kimchi and sort of like the way she comes from like, you know the market was like so important to her as a young girl in her village, even as like a little girl like going with her dad and like being with the market people and then the way she like starts to find that again at the end and even like other people in the market like showing kindness to her to help her set up, like I felt like that was like a good button on sort of where we're leaving her for now. I also think because the book and the show are so much like these are just people's lives. It also felt mostly satisfying to me because we know that people's lives don't end when we stop seeing them on screen. They're human. Because they were telling a very human realistic fiction story that it doesn't need to have a true button on it because like literally nothing in life does until we look back and we're like, yeah, we

"America's involvement with that. And we just don't want to talk about it because we're like, it was not good. And it does a disservice to everyone. The survivors, the veterans who come back. And our whole country, so that we just sit around and be like, all right, yeah, Korea and Japan, they have a beef, right? Instead of actually knowing the historical context that not only influences today but is literally part of lives of people who looked at that and are still alive today. Yeah, I think the way that we learn history is from this white supremacist imperialist American perspective. So we only talk about Asian history when it's quote unquote relevant. So it's sort of like, oh, World War II. We hated Japan and we like to try not and then like, oh, but then after World War II, communism and we like Japan and we hated China and it's like Vietnam and Korea and Cambodia. If you even talk about Cambodia in school or pawns in this great American thing, it's like experiment you know and it's true too that like most people learn about history from movies and TV shows and I think that a lot of times people who make movies and TV shows don't want to consider that responsibility and are sort of like, well I want to make like a good movie and it's like yeah but like people are stupid and they're going to think what you're putting here is true. I mean my tenth grade history class we watched Gandhi. Wow. The Ben Kingsley one? Yeah, it took us like a week because it's so fucking long. But we want everyone to watch it in history class. That's how most people learn about history is most people aren't reading history books. Once you graduate from high school, most people are like, I'm never going to think about this shit again. And when you think about how so much American media that is about Korea is just about the Korean War and it's from the perspective of American soldiers. Is there Korean War media? I don't think there's a lot of via Vietnam War media. That during the Korean War. I always thought there was Vietnam. I think that's like a common, but I'm pretty sure mash was actually set during the Korean War. That must be it, then. Yeah, you're right, most of Vietnam. I feel like the entire representation of Korea in the U.S. aside from mash, apparently, has occurred in the last like ten years. Yeah. I think you're right. Like Korea spontaneously arose from nowhere. And didn't exist prior to BTS. Yeah. Or something. Yeah, basically. For a lot of people. Yeah, schitt's crazy man. Really? What a world we live in. Yeah. And I think one thing that pachinko, just to highlight again, because it's such a great TV show. As an art form, it's so great. I think really helps spoon feed us, but also history in a way that it's not like, oh, there's a new historical documentary and if you're not into historical discrimination, you're not going to watch it. It's like there's a really, really good drama, TV show out there. And I feel like I've just been talking about it with everyone, mainly because it's the only TV show I've been watching currently, but yeah, and then it's like, oh my gosh, it's really good. It's about family and there's some history stuff. And I learned so much, but also the music's awesome, the filming is amazing, but the actors are incredible. So it's just like the whole package. It's what you want out of. What I would want out of a historical drama is like, you give me some facts and some context, but also some like narrative and plot and characters like any good TV show would have to connect me to it, even though I'm personally very far removed from the Korean and Korean American experience. And I think it's important too. When I was in grad school, I took a class that was on history on film. And I remember I got mad at my professor on the first day because he gave us the syllabus and he was like, yeah, I know that like most of the movies on here are like about men, but it's really hard to find movies about women doing. I think his word was historically significant things. I remember I ended up like, I ended up beating him up about this like a million times. I like for my final paper about it, and he's a very nice person, so I'm not dragging him. And I've wrote about Brooklyn in my paper about how like, you know, for women social history is just as big as like, you know, a movie about Abraham Lincoln. Like that's life, you know? And so the story and pachinko might seem like small of sold kimchi in the market, you know? And it's like, but that's like her whole life. And that's the story of, you know, millions of women around the world is sort of like how did they survive in these historical circumstances? Like I think a lot about like dirty dancing and dancing, one of my favorite movies. Most people are like, oh, you know, dancing. Nobody was baby in the corner, and it's like the main plot of dirty dancing involves an illegal abortion. Like, that's like the major twist in the movie, but like catalyst of the romance is like baby stepping up to help this other girl get an abortion in the way it like falls across like class lines and her own dad, you know? And it's like, yeah, that's like not a movie about a war, but if that was the reality, you know, committing on for millions of people. Yeah, I liked what you pointed out about how the they're making the show about more than the family sort of the broader community that this family is part of. And I feel like the moment we see that the most is in episode four, which is my favorite episode and maybe part of my bitterness and the rest of the show is that Ned never lived up to episode four for me. It was just so good. That episode destroyed me. Wait, could you remind me? In the best way. So that's the one where it's her leaving Korea on the boat. And then it's also when Solomon is, it's the dramatic scene when he tells the woman not to sell. Yes, that's what I saw. Yeah, I agree. That's the best episode. It's absolutely incredible. I love the changes they made to Solomon's plot to make him sort of actively be like, no don't. Fuck it. Yeah, I love that. Him dancing in The Rain. I love everything about that episode. The on the boat when you have the lower class people underneath and then you have the singer up above and then you also cut. So the whole thing where they're intercutting between sunja is like very pregnant, seasick in the belly of this giant boat and then there's this Korean singer performing for a bunch of Japanese men and then you cut to the future where there's this woman who has this one little tiny bit of property that she's the Japanese people are trying to get to take from her. And it was so well done and so moving and felt so like made these very tiny choices, these little individual things. So, you know, it's a woman deciding whether or not to sell her property. It's a woman deciding to sing a Korean song instead of what she's paid to sing and like a woman like drinking water in the belly of a ship like these tiny little snapshots are like this huge sort of interconnecting web of these people's lives and like I'm getting chills thinking about it right now. It was so good and like that to me is like the magic of what a show like this can do and really, really elevates the text and kind of expands on it and broadens it to you this sort of broader community of people. So yeah, that's the best part of the show for me right there. And I hope they keep doing that. And the next season.

"Kid shows are. Oh my God. The daisy Jones in the 6 TV show too. I'm actually really filmed a while ago and I feel like there's a no updates I want updates. What's going on? Did they write good songs? Like what? What's happening? That one I'm not a super intrigued because the book is so much about how amazing the music is and how groundbreaking it is, but Taylor Jenkins Reid can write that because she doesn't have to write the music and I was really excited when I heard they were turning into a film, but then I also got a TV show, but I got really scared too, because I'm like, if the music sucks, that has to carry the show. So I wonder if there's delays like making sure they have the right. This incredible musicians in this world that I'm sure could write beautiful music. They just need to hire the right people, bring them in. Going back, I remembered in another one that I take issue with and less about the adaptation, but the choice and medium. So sharp objects was Jillian Floyd's novel was adapted into a TV show and I really don't think there was enough content to make it a show. It really I think would work so much better as a movie, especially because gone girl worked so well as a film mainly because it tightened up everything that Jillian Flynn kind of like let linger for a little maybe a little longer in the book that is interesting for TV. But with sharp objects, they literally had to drag things out longer than they took in the book because they had to fill ten episodes or whatever it was. And I'm like, give them most episodes or say no, Amy Adams make this a movie. Actually, I don't know if Amy Adams was a maker. I know she was the lead. Amy Adams is in charge of it. No, I'm Adams. Wow. Gone girl is one of the first movies that Reese Witherspoon produced. That's like how the beginning race produced that year wild, but she starred in and I actually love wild controversial and gone girl and she wanted to be Amy and they were like no you can't be aiming. And she was like, but I want to, and they were like, no, it'll be bad. Can't do that. Like I really sorry, but it's not gonna be you. Oh, thank God. They said no. Conversations with Friends, which comes out may 15th. I loved the book. I liked normal people. I liked the more people series, which Sally Rooney worked on, salary did not work on conversations with Friends, I hate the show. The show is so bad. It is 12 episodes long. Unnecessary. Isn't it like a 300 page novel? It is 12 half hour episodes. It's like every scene in the book got its own episode. It's insane. It is so bad. I was pissed the entire time I watched it. It was really bad. I don't even think it's the actor's fault. I'm just like, I don't know that the people who made this understand what the book is about. It is just a baffling experience to watch that show. I was literally mad. Yeah, I was just a major disappointment, and it's like, I think this could have worked a lot better as a movie. But I think that streaming services want series more than they want movies. So if they can push something and I think that's really true, even in the documentary space that Netflix wants a 6 episode docuseries more than they want a movie and it's like, okay, but maybe this is just like enough story for a movie. Like the Tinder swindler, if that had been a docu series, we wouldn't rough shape. It wasn't just wasn't enough stuff there. So yeah, I wish conversations with Friends had been a movie or even just like 6 episodes. They did 12 insanely. I didn't like it at all. Good to know. Yeah. Save me 6 hours of my life. So your experience, you watched pachinko before it comes out. So you don't even have the commentary of everyone else around you. You become the commentary that we all look up. It is weird, honestly. It is weird. Sometimes to be like, what do other people think about this? Like I want to talk about this in some way. There's nobody to talk to about it. And then you got a chance to interview the cast. So after talking with them, did it kind of recolor any of your opinions on what you've seen? No, because I already liked it. So it didn't make me change my mind. Yeah, it was really cool. They were all really great. You know what I thought of before that I didn't say, but I will say now, is that I think the book is very much like, here is the story of a family, you know? And I love that. I love generational novels that sort of like go from like, here's the grandma story in the dad story. You know, take stuff, but I think the with episode 7, the show is not just trying to tell the story of this one specific family, but sort of this whole group of people of these creative immigrants and what happened to them and what they endured. And I think that's cool. And I think talking to everybody, that was really important to them to sort of be like, these are stories that people don't know about, that we really want to bring into the light. And I really like the way episode 8 ends with the grandmas. Yeah, the grandmas are adorable and you just love them. And you just want to cry and, you know, sort of, it's crazy to think about like what people have lived through and so much of what we are currently living through is so horrible and I think sometimes it's easy to feel like nobody else has ever looked through something as terrible before, and it's like, no, that's not true. A lot of people have and not in like, oh, like buck up and shut up way, but sort of like, no, like if there's one thing that's true of humanity, is that we are stronger than we think we are. And can make it through more than we think we can handle. Watching the show and reading the book as a white American who knew very little of Korean and Japanese history, I came in knowing like, all right, Korean Japan have like a beef or something, right? Don't get along. Is there something there? And to be able to read the family story and to watch it on the screen and to get even more context through the TV show of the history of Korean immigrants in Japan, like I'm just super helpful and insightful and like, I don't know, it just gives me so much more than just the broad strokes World War II stories we get in history class, where it's like, oh yeah, and then the Japan theater. This is what happened. And then we don't talk about anything. And I think also, I mean, it's tied into with the atrocities of the Korean War, and

"Felt like the narrative arc that was happening early in the season you didn't want to break that up with a whole cohan suit backstory. It might have been too many storylines to make cohan shoes, earthquake story, go through a couple episodes with sunja and with Solomon. So I feel like it was difficult. I feel personally, it was like a weird detour when I was emotionally ready for the end of the season. I was like, we have two more episodes. I'm excited to see where this goes. We just met Noah, and then all of a sudden, it's like, boop. 1923, Yokohama, and we are going to stay here all episode. I think I also might have felt a little more like, oh, this fits the show if they had given another character an entire episode as well to make it less of a. And here's Lehman Ho having his acting moment. 'cause I think he's great. But it also kind of felt a little like, I don't know what the word for is. Like it was a little too much to like, we're gonna stop and give one episode here, but I don't know, I keep talking around myself because I'm like, well, also, how do you break up that story? 'cause it's like basically one almost the entire episode is one day. And so like, yeah. It would be really jarring to jump back into that. I don't know. I think to me, I viewed it not just as an origin story for him, but like an origin story for Koreans in Japan in general, because after the episode aired, I was doing light Googling about it, but apparently that really fermented this anti Korean sentiment in Japan and for decades to come, you know? So to me it felt like this isn't just like what he came out of, but also like this is the sort of like racist soup that they're all swimming in, for their entire lives in Japan. I agree. I do think it was like really good context to the racism in Japan because we do get that in the book and it because the book is longer and can really set us in the scene for a lot longer. We kind of get the building of it over time, you know, like how it specifies for the characters and the 30s, 40s timeline, but it was really cool to get a little bit more backstory of why when they arrived in Japan it was already that racial tension. Yeah, I agree. I think two sometimes, you know, like I love books and a lot of the time I will try to read a book before I watch something, like I have like a poster for Brooklyn on my wall, like the Saoirse Ronan movie, and I like specifically read that book before. And then I like to move it better. You know, but I think that there's like in book circles, sometimes it's like faux pas to say like, oh, actually the adaptation was better than the book. I think it's important to sort of consider them as separate sayings. They're separate works of art, they obviously one is based on the other, but they're like doing different things. They have different tools. Like The Godfather was a book. It was a bestselling book. Most people will never read The Godfather book, and they will only ever see the movie. And the book was like Pulp Fiction. And the movies are like a high work of art, you know? I also feel that way about the hunker games, like very strongly, so The Hunger Games books are pretty good and The Hunger Games movies are like great. And really expanded the world of The Hunger Games and took what was like a sort of like difficult story for one girl and made it like a big political allegory that I think was really good. Not perfect, but I think ultimately very successful. Yeah, I feel very similarly and Julie and I have talked about this before. So for me, I feel similarly, I want the TV show to be a good TV show. I don't want it to be a good filming of actors sitting in a room, reciting a book to each other. I want it to be a show. I think I maybe even more interested in book to TV adaptations 'cause I don't watch a lot of TV, and so I come in with a little bit more knowledge. And so I'm like looking for things and I like the comparisons, but like overall, I'm like, yeah, the TV show works way better with multiple timelines at the same time because one of I loved that it was like a strict chronology, but I also know it made it a difficult read, because people like truly had told me it was a difficult read. Yeah. Julia, what's your take on book to TV? Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm exactly the same way. I'm like, it's a different medium. You have different tools for storytelling. Make a good film, make a good TV show that I think you need to have a lot of respect for the original source material. You can't just be the thing that bothers me is when, you know, in the film industry, they're really, especially right now, they're really desperate for sort of preexisting intellectual property because they know that it'll make them more money. And so sometimes things get bought out. I hope they stay home, right? Because it comes with a preexisting audience. That's the idea. And so that's why you're getting all these remakes. That's why we're reboots or live action versions, all that kind of stuff. And sometimes they put it in the hands of someone who has a lot of respect for the original source material and really wants to do a good job. And sometimes they just don't care. And they're just like, we'll just make whatever. And then you get a lot of pissed off fans. Because then you feel like duped because you're like, we were told we were going to get a TV show or a movie based off this thing we love. And then it's like, oh no, you just baited us to come watch it. What's an example? What are we talking? I feel like, what's the thing that we really hate? I remember taking issue with some of the chronicles of Narnia. Oh yeah, those words, I was younger, really bad. We were excited, and then it didn't feel like it was either a good movie or a true adaptation. Yeah, another one, Julia's brought up before is Percy Jackson. They're doing it again. They're doing it again. Get ready. I sell Rick riordan on social media excited about the new Percy that they cast and he was like on the call when they told the actor that he got it and he was like wearing the kid was like already wearing a camp half blood T-shirt. And they're just like really into the book. So I'm like a little more helpful. This brings me in general to one of my favorite topics, which is the grease Witherspoon book club. Okay? Okay. What a machine that they have done because Reese picks a book makes it a race books club's pack, so more people read it because it's a respect and then she's like, well, obviously now we'll make it a movie or TV show. And you know, the success of this is really all over the place. I really, really, really did not like Little Fires Everywhere. Yeah, that's what I heard. That show at all, I felt like they really handicapped it by casting Reese and Kerry Washington because the kids are the best part of the book, but we didn't see the kids enough because we were spending so much time with the two of them. And it was like, I don't care about this. That's part one. Part two, yeah, she keeps adapting shit, the crawl dad's movie is coming against all of our will. I hope that's what it's called. I know it's not, but the cry adds movie. It sounds like the emoji movie or whatever ridiculous

"Much it was going to be. What is another example that does it? I don't know, I just think it could have, it could have come off as cheesy. It could have come off as like too obvious. I think that the show does a good job of drawing parallels without condemning anybody or saying like this person is wrong or like this person messed up or oh Solomon should do this because his grandma XYZ like I think it just keeps it more like open ended and interesting. I also think it's interesting because they've really cut out like at least from this season like Solomon's like teen years and I feel like and like the stuff with his dad and the only really hint at his dad and like the pachinko parlor and the sort of organized crime stuff, they don't really go into it that much. So it's interesting to me how that kind of makes Solomon story at the bank more about his grandma than does about his dad when I think in the book you're like well it's about both these things. Yeah, it felt like I'm very curious to see what they do with season two because it felt like they were trying to like maybe each season they'll pick two characters or something or they'll like Solomon won't feature as heavily in season two or maybe he will. But something that we talked about was like the choice to make solemn in the main character and not I think what we all would have assumed Noah who doesn't appear until episode 6 as a baby? Right. And I assume that if you hadn't read the book that you would assume that the baby she is pregnant with is mess that's what you would assume and I thought that was very cool that sort of like Noah kind of turned into this reveal of like, oh, there's another brother and like you guys don't know anything about him. But yeah, you assume season two is gonna focus on him a lot more. It was such an interesting very experience and I'm sure the directors had to think about this. Like a bunch of people watching have seen or have read the book. And so it was like all of us sitting around waiting for Noah for like 6 episodes being like, what are they gonna do with this character? Is he included? Is he not? And I think back to your point about not knowing if it was a TV miniseries or multiple season show, I'm like, they must have just cut him out for time. That's what I was convinced of for like the first three episodes. It was like, oh, they just had to focus on the story. But when it became clear that they weren't going to be wrapping this up by episode 8, I was like, okay. But I thought it was still a really great dramatic reveal. And I would love to talk with someone who hadn't read the book first, to know how that felt, or if it felt like, wait, what do you mean, child out of left field, brother we don't know about? Because I do wonder, because if you assume and even as readers of the book, we were like, oh, maybe they changed it that musas. The child that she's pregnant with from cohan su that lineage, that makes cohan to Solomon's grandfather, which is not true. But we're sort of drawing that connection. I'm like, that would totally change Solomon's story if cohan to was his grandfather. Yeah. Like, does he know? It just kind of changes. It changes how he feels about the pachinko business. It changes that phone call that his father gets in that the flashback when he's a teenager and he gets caught lifting and I feel like I don't know. I'm not a 100% satisfied with it. Like I think it was smart with what they are trying to do, but I don't know. It changed things for me in a way I wasn't totally satisfied. I think it worked for me and I think that we know that Solomon's dad is like associated with this like organized crime element and I think you know I think there's something inside of sort of like when you're part of an immigrant population that's being ignored at best and like it worse like actively oppressed by the state the way that so called organized crime is like the only way that any of you can survive, you know? And who is anyone to say that that's like a moral for them to do that, you know? Yeah. Like I really appreciate it episode 7 is the earthquake, right? Yeah. Yeah, I loved that episode. Obviously, that none of that is in the book. I didn't know about any of that. I thought it was really interesting. I said it was a really cool way to expand the scope and also give perspective for the Korean experience in Japan that I really, I just didn't know anything about any of that. I knew nothing. I thought that was really cool. I thought it was such a good showcase for that actor who is like extremely famous Korean actor and I was kind of like, it's crazy they got him to do this part that's like not even really like the lead or even like the second lead and then that episode game and I was like oh okay, this is how they got him to do this TV show. Is they were like, well there's gonna be this one episode. It's gonna be all you. Okay, so I'm very curious. Julia, you've shared for members, but please share it here on the main feed. Yeah, Julia. Julia started laughing, so I was like, oh, Julia doesn't like episode 7. She doesn't like it. I really didn't like it. Wow. I didn't, yeah. That's just so funny to me. Like, that you volunteered that take of how much you loved it. And I was like, ah, shit. Good. Shit. I didn't like it. On a technical level, I thought it was very well done, and it was educational. I learned something. It provided perspective. It kind of did all the things that it was supposed to do on paper. I just didn't connect to it at all. That's legit. Yeah. And it felt like it was placed in a weird spot. And I just, I don't know, it kind of came out of left field for me, and I just didn't. I really don't like kohan su from the book. And so I've had a really hard time with the show because they got this super famous, very talented actor. I feel like they're trying to have it both ways of making him like a morally gray kind of looming presence, but also making him kind of romantic lead at the same time. It feels like they're trying to do both. And it's not really working for me. Yeah. I don't know. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it because I just, it feels like the show wants me to like him and I can't. That's where I'm so not that they want. I didn't feel like they want me to like him. I feel like they just want me to understand him and also understand her attraction to him. And like understand. Basically how they all ended up in this very fucked up situation. You know, like, just to be sympathetic toward everybody, not necessarily like, oh, you're a good person. I support you. You know, like, the conversation with his wife, like when we see his wife, that's just like fucking brutal. He sucks. Like a lot of things. He does a lot of bad things. He's such a dick to her. I mean, when she's like, I'm pregnant and he's like, okay, well I'll put you in a nice house and, you know, like I'm like, man, fuck you, but who among us has not still desired somebody who has been mean to us, and, you know, and at the same time, he is very generous toward her, but then at the same time, you know, in order to control her and because of this misogynistic, affection for a son that he doesn't even know, so I just think it's complicated. And I enjoy those complications more than like, well, he's evil, and he should always be evil. Yeah, my main critique of episode 7 was, I felt like I didn't know where it was supposed to be. I understand they put it as episode 7 because they did. And I can see that they were kind of like boxed into a

"It is $3 a month. You can come hang out with us and share your thoughts about pachinko. We had a really fun time. Reviewing this show, so we really wanted to do another one. Yeah, I feel like I like this. It's this new film club book to show adaptation. I feel like it's right in our Wheelhouse. Yes. Because Julia watches a lot of TV, it has a lot of thoughts. And then I'm like the dark horse coming in with no prior knowledge of anything with film. And then I'm pretty proud. They were at least two points in our episode watching that I predicted things that came true. Yeah. They made it, you know, very obvious predictions, but I felt proud. Yeah. But yeah, you can head over and check that out. But today, we'll be diving into an overall conversation, the whole series, and we have a special guest with us for very, very excited. Yeah. Please welcome Victoria adol. Whoo. Yes. Thank you for having me. What would that? Victoria is a writer from Brooklyn, New York, and she covers TV and movies for PopSugar, and she is one half of the gold plated girls newsletter, which we had Victoria and her co writer of the newsletter, Hailey schubert on last year, which was really fun. So excited to have you back. Victoria's writing has appeared in The New Yorker, mcsweeney's Internet tendency and reductress, prolific, we love it. I already have ideas for your guys next to book to see. If you want, I feel like did you guys read station 11? No. No, but that is a really good idea. Read station 11, which is amazing. I mean, the problem with station 11 is that it's about a pandemic. So I understand it's like too much for people, but the book is great. And then the TV show, which is on atrial max, is also really good. And I think that would be fun. And then conversations with Friends is about to come out. That's next weekend. And then this summer I turned pretty is about to come out on Amazon prime. If you're feeling very YA, you could do that as well. We can also do hard stopper, but that's very, if we want like a graphic novel. Yeah. That's true. I loved it. I watched it all in like one day. But you know, I gotta say, I hate when people are like, oh my God, I watched all of Bridgerton in one day. In my defense, it was raining, in my defense I was like something like that. And it's like, everybody does that now. It's actually very normal. I need a defense. It could be a very sunny day. And like all of it. It's not like you watch all of How I Met Your Mother in one day, like TV seasons are very short. I don't know if it's physically possible to watch that much TV and one day. It was watching like two times and you've got like three screens going. Right. Like, if you watched a whole season of how much your mother in one day, we have problems, but normal TV shows now are like 8 episodes. Like, of course, you could watch that all in one day. That's not weird anymore. 8 to ten episodes of a 30 to 40 minute show easily couldn't be done in a day. Exactly. So that's my new pet peeve lately. I hate when people say that. Like, that's how that's how we consume television. That's how it goes. Right, like my job is watching TV now. Yeah. Okay, whatever. I know it's been one of the fun things about doing the pachinko reaction videos together because one, it's like super fun for Julia and I just to sit on and not have to worry about editing it because we took that barrier away from ourselves and also now I can write it off as like, well this is like productive work time in my life because this podcast is a labor of love and it counts as work. And so yeah, it was like Friday morning and I didn't open my email at all. I'm like, I need to watch pachinko because Julia is counting on me. And I remember viewing it online. So yes, speaking of pachinko. Yeah. Should we talk about it? Real quick. We didn't do a spoiler warning. Thank you. Major spoilers. We didn't give any spoilers before. So we're good. Starting now, we might spoil the entire book and the entire TV show. Yeah. Which are slightly different. So yeah. Okay, so I read the book around when it came out. I don't even remember what year that was, but I remember being like a big sensation and I read it done and I loved it and then I watched the TV show and I think mostly in late February and March because I had screeners for work which is great. Yeah, it was very fancy and I really loved it so much. I think it was confusing because I was like wait, is this not a mini series? Right. They're gonna do like multiple seasons of this. We have the same conversation. And I had to dig to find out where the show runner had said, yeah, they're gonna do multiple seasons because I was like, wait, what's going on? Like we cut out like a major character, even if nothing else. Yeah, I really loved the way that they did it. I think the whole cast is amazing. I love the way that they jump through time, I think, that is really hard to pull off in a way that feels, you know, not forced, and I think they pull it off really well. I love the opening credits. They're so fine. I watched it every episode. It was like, do you want to skip them? No. And then episode 8, there's new music, it's like a remix version of the theme. It's so good. I liked that. The opening credits remind me of and maybe this is unhinged, but if you guys see Mamma Mia!. Do you know at the end of the movie when everyone's dancing together? And it's like spacetime doesn't exist. They all exist at the same place. The pachinko opening credits are the exact same vibe of spacetime is not real. We have every version of these characters in one place and that's fine. I love it. Okay, so I'm curious, you made a comment about when there's timeline jumping doesn't always work. And Julie and I both, I think, from what I remember you saying Julia enjoyed the new approach because it kind of speeds things up and keeps you like really engaged in the parallels. They're trying to draw between the different characters. It's like very forward versus like the book being a chronology, you don't you'd have to consume the entire book and think a little deeper about it to find those parallels between the characters. So what's your criteria for a time jump TV show to work? Yeah, I'm trying to think of other shows or movies that have tried that. Wow, I'm gonna talk about Mamma Mia! again. And for that, I'm sorry. So when mama made two came out, the director of Mamma Mia! was like, we were trying to figure out what to make the sequel and my daughter was like, you should do it like The Godfather part two. Go back in time to the dad, but you also see him in the future. And they were like, wow, you're exactly right. So I always tell people like Mamma Mia! two is The Godfather part two of Mamma Mia! movies because it literally is. And then I finally watched The Godfather part two. And I realized this is actually a bad analogy, because you don't actually see Robert De Niro in that much. He's in very little of the movie. You see way more of Lily James in Mamma Mia!, too, than you do, Robert De Niro in The Godfather part two. So I'd actually annoyed me because I'd set up my expectations poorly

"And i was working for jewelry company and i'm designing beautiful things and then that some cmo or cfo who doesn't understand jewelry or woman or consumers would sit there and go you know what i can't fund this so you can have to do xyz and he doesn't know a thing about you know what women want. So i was just suffocating. So i took a leap of faith but the other thing i'm gonna say to. Whoever is listening all of you are listening is. There's no guarantee in life except failure. You fail you aren't gonna fail this snow. Ask you victoria. What what if you actually learn from failure. What's the biggest takeaway do thing. I think i think i failed a lot because i started my business would just ike really desperation with no money. No mentors no nothing no connections so you can imagine you fail a lot and when you do you feel like you wanna quit and you self doubt seats and you're like okay. Well you know what that was really stupid. I a lot of smart people fail in business. What may what made me think that i was going to succeed. So you know all of these things come into play all the experts that tell you you know. So what happens is when you fail everything that i've ever failed in my life. They caused my success so smaller failures lead to bigger success. It's the only problem. A lot of people have is when you have a small failure. You focus on the failure and you go. You know what i tried to hold you collection was a bomb. I'm just not gonna ever to any flowers anymore because it themselves. Well i would sit there and go. You know what i love. Flowers women love flowers. Everybody loves loves flowers. So what what is it was it that. Why didn't it's up. Well if you can figure that out You basically end up making a better collection. So what i preach. Is that the things that are that are absolutely certain in life is you will fail at something at some point..
