Here we go. Our producer says it's time to start. Laura Kane after
dark, second episode of the week, feeling a little bit rushed. I'm
not gonna lie. I'm feeling like, by the way, I'm Laura Kane.
This is Zarah Grimmer, that is producer Brian. I'm getting a vibe
like you got somewhere to be and not here. Yeah, I have I
have somewhere to be after this. Well, like, do you need to
be out by a certain time? Like should I know this? Yeah,
out by a certain time. But are these plans that you have made on
a Monday night? Well, I do have plans. I have plans to
go home after this. You're gonna be on plenty of time. It's not
actually my little thro tonight. My throat's a little sore tonight. Oh somebody's
getting sick and someone's been a real pain in the butt about it. Watch
your dog, Waura. I'm sorry, was he Elvis? Don't rush her,
okay, Jesus, I'm very sensitive. I guess. Oh my god,
the third time, she's almost cried. I know, I know what's
wrong. Oh my god, I'm like a fall after colossal defeat. Well,
no, look We had a Battle of the Besties last or on Tuesday,
the first episode of the week, and Eric's the BFF number one still
Marla crushed. Laura came in and we love having her in because she's so
funny, and she really is. We did a battle. We Eric read
question and then whoever got closest or answered first, and we took points and
she won by a landslide. So she claims her number one spot and Laura
claims number somewhere between three and six. Now, I would like to point
out that Marla was kind enough to offer the one point five. She did
give you a pitty spot, like to point out one point five is not
a real spot, but that was a sign of yes. Yes. Look
if one point five makes you so happy, it's probably a sign you're down
by like five one point five. I'm a acstatic right now. Well,
that means she likes you, because that means that you're close to her.
Like if she didn't like you, you would I you know, I felt
the closeness. You know what, You're right, You're right, I felt
close. See now he's looking at his watch. No, Brian, please,
what do you go ahead? What do you want to put your Jammy's
on right now, or something to get a snack or whatever. I watch
a smart watch that vibrates if I give a notification, So I checked it.
By the way, I stopped wearing mine because it's rude. Don't you
think that's rude? No? I don't. You don't find it? Do
you find it rude when somebody is you're talking to somebody and they look at
they're looking at their watch because it pings if they have a smart watch,
and I go, oh, they got notification. Okay, is this last
route? If I go, if you pull out your phone and glance at
it, that's that's even worse. That is more rude. Yes, So
me just going and then putting it down, it just means that your attention
has gone from what we were talking about to something else where. He could
be thinking, how much longer are you going to flap your gums? If
you were more captivating, maybe I would have checked. She's been through a
lot. If the last like rushing me, I'm just trying to check my
watch right here, and she's my god, there's a how an eighty percent
chance of showers? Oh man, oh boy? Show to run or something
to host you want me to talk about something sad? No, no,
are you not? I do not. I'll tell you a story. Tonight.
I went and cried myself to sleep because Laura was being so mean to
me because I checked the notification of my watch. Oh my god, if
I found out you cried over something I did, I do you know why?
Would he actually happy? I was going to say, do you know
how happy she would be? Oh my gosh, she's like I made Brian
feel something. That is exactly why I had an effect on him. I
actually made a difference. Would you like to no? Oh my god,
Oh my god, Oh my god. Okay, before we talked about a
show that we both happened to binge the same time. You guys have got

the commercials, we were talking about something like, Eric, wait, what
is it that I told you to remind me of. I don't know,
I don't remember. It sucks getting old, doesn't it. It sucks?
Damn, I don't stop it. Okay. Anyway, we had a little
date night Eric and I, what was it like Thursday? I don't you
know what's today? So it was last week one of the I think it
was Thursday. Wednesday lest me in the old ball and Chain. We watched
Evander Palm. We did and we just kind of hung out and talked about
some stuff. It was really fun. It was like an impromptu and I
said, I'll bring something over for you to eat. And we loved the
place down the street called Saffron and they have these amazing salad rolls. They
have shrimp, chicken and tofu and I always get the tofu ones because I
really said, I really wanted to eat healthy, and I get the chicken.
Yes. That was the key to the whole situation was Laura said,
I want to eat healthy because in the salad roles there's lettuce, there's cucumber
and carrots and the tofu, and I felt like I needed to eat something
healthy. Did mm hmmm, so would you like me to go ahead whatever?
We finished the meal and I look across the table Laura. We're sitting
at my dining room table and she's holding in her hand a lot of lot
like that. It's a it's just a lot of cash. And I'm like,
what is that and she goes, oh, it's that stuff that lettuce
and I'm I said, you mean the healthy stuff out of the lettuce wrap.
I didn't even I don't want any of this that I pick out.
I pick out the vegetables out of things that I eat that have vegetables.
And said, so all you ate was the tofu and she was so annoyed.
I did the tofu with the sauce and I have like the outside thing
that was so gross, Oh my gosh gross. You should just ask them
if they can put the tofu in with a bunch of jelly beans and like
gummy bears, and the sauce could be you know, a red bull,
a red bull. Yeah, I'm not the only person on this planet that
doesn't like salads or leg lettuces. I don't find those things tasty. Why
don't you order a lettuce wraped tofu? Because it like all together, the
bite has all those different things. I can tolerate it. But you took
out the lettuce because it got a little too overwhelming for me, because there
was more in it than I wanted there to be. This has like no
flavor. There was there was more in it than she wanted there to be,
which means there was everything in it that she didn't want. Geez,
I know, the whole thing. Whatever. Anyway, the hilarious point of
this story is, Oh, no, we didn't watch it together, but
we talked about it. Oh yeah, OMG, there's a show yep four
episodes five episodes four right, Okay, it's on who is who? It's
not Hulu. It's either Prime or Paramount or Peacock or something. It's one
of those. I think it's HBO max oh or HBO Max. I don't
know I have them. Well anyway, okay, it's called quiet on the
set. Oh God? What really went on with the kids in kids TV?
It was all about Nickelodeon and behind the scenes, and when Nickelodeon was
huge in the in the late nineties and the early two thousands. I remember
Charlie Kinan maybe, but no Evan love like this. She loved the one,
the Amanda Byne Show, and all the all the ones that followed that
on Nickelodeon are the ones our Anna Grande, oh yeah, and then Drake
and Josh she loved. But it's a documentary about how these kids were treated
the production heads, what they did to these kids, what they had these
kids do like that were simulating other things. God, and how they are
now adults, These these kids who are in these TV shows, and they're
talking about their experience and how it shaped their lives, harm their lives.
They're now in therapy because of it. Well, and it's it's important to
note that Ariana Grande, Amanda Bindes and the other one Jeanette McCurdy, who
were prominently featured in the documentary don't appear at all. And they were the
ones that had the most done to them, I would have been singing like
a canary. But you know, why do you think Ariota Grande stayed quiet
about this? She's probably because in the industry is because of her career.
She just has a new album that's coming out. She probably was like,
Nope, don't you think that that would help her by coming out and saying,
yes, these things happen and it why? You know, I feel
so no, because with the whole Weinstein thing, look at the careers that
it hurt. Ashley Judd, a lot of them have not done movies since
because they were considered the whistleblowers. And oh like Jeanett mccurty, she's has
she done anything, No, but she wrote a book. Yeah, I'm
glad my mom died. I think there's also probably an element, and I
hope hopefully not, but I'm sure there's probably an element where most people that
did speak up don't really have anything going on for them, or they've been
in trouble with some pretty serious things like the one guy from Drake and Josh
his name, so they may that may be. I hope they have good
intentions, but it may be a little trying to claim for relevance again.
So well, in the documentary, at one point there were three pedophiles working
on a children's show. I was like, how does that get passed?
You know, a screening. The big name on this series called Quiet.
On the set was the guy that played Drake what's his name, Oh,
Drake Bell Duff. So he actually is interviewed and he talks about everything,
and boy is it shocking it he just got recently charged with like I think
it was. I forgot it was something to do with a minor. So
he's also been in hot water too, are you sure about Yeah, it
was texting something or allegedly texting something to somebody that was underage. Yeah.
I believe he actually got convicted too. I don't think he got charged to
think he was convicted recently, Yeah, allegedly. I'm not sure what the
whole thing was. But oh, this makes me really kind of mad right
now. Well, I'm sure in small part he is maybe trying to spin
things a little bit, so he seems a little more sympathetic, which I
get. I mean, maybe there are maybe some of his choices are a
result of things that he experienced, but I mean there's you know, there's
no, true. There's probably very few true angels in Hollywood, so I'm
sure. Well, I mean, everyone's well, don't you think that if
things like that happened to you as a growing adult, as a kid,
that it would shape you in a certain way to have a propensity for that.
I don't know, I could. I don't know. I came away
from that really feeling for him. Yeah, and his dad, and well,
the dad. That's the sad thing is the dad knew and he did
everything. The parents were divorced, they got divorced, and the dad saw
what was going on. And here's here's my thing. They showed the clip
of him, a video of him doing the same thing to Leonardo DiCaprio on
the set of something when Leonardo DiCaprio was a kid. I'm wondering how long
it's gonna take for Leonardo DiCaprio to come out and go, hey, nothing
happened with me, because it was the same, like rubbing down the arm
and down the small of the back and all that touchy feely stuff, and
you know, it was it was strange. But I felt really bad for
the dad because the dad saw something inappropriate going about to go down and he
was like, made it a point to say, I want that guy to
stay away from my son. The parents they at they interviewed some of the
parents of these child stars and they were like, God, I wish I'd
never would have done this. The hints of what was going on immediately,
Oh yeah, gosh. And but then you know, there's the money and
the brand new house and the notoriety and the fame, and that these parents
half the time were scared to say anything because they didn't want their kids to
be mad at them. You know, well, mom of one of the
girls, and the mom has come under a lot of fire. And I
don't remember what the girl's name was, but it was her first acting acting
gig. It was the only thing she ever wanted to do. And this
guy that was the PA. Yes, now, what mother, would you
as a mother allow your young daughter to correspond with like a forty year old
via you know? And all of a sudden, the daughter like gets up
and slams her bedroom door, like shuts down the computer, and the mom's
like, what's going on? And the daughter showed her and this guy had
exposed himself and said, this is what I do when I think about you
over a minor and the girl never acted again. She got out of this.
It was like her first and last thing that she shared, told her
spirit, that's just But the mom was like, oh, she want to
go to the police. I didn't want to do this. I didn't want
to do that, And I'm like, that's crazy to me. Well,
here's the thing as a mother. As a mother of which you guys obviously
can can't know how that feels. There's there's that knowing that something is weird,
having that weird gut feeling and seeing something that is not quite right,
and then also wanting your child to be happy, knowing that they're doing something
they completely love and have always wanted to do. It must have been really
hard for that woman. I understand balance the risk of your kid game molested
right that. I'm sorry if I if I ruined their career for the rest
of the life meets it's going to happen. Even though I'm not a parent,
I would be. I would be on the phone with the cops.
Yeah that second, I don't. I don't care if my kid hated me
for the rest of their life, because you're you're literally ruining your kid's life,
like they're just being set up to be. And then well there's also
the element of I mean back then, you know, nothing really had happened
like that before. And also you know, I don't know, I'm just
trying to play the Devil's ad of it kid a little bit, like these
parents really feel bad now. They should because they let it. I mean,
I don't want to say they let it happen, but there, I
mean, it's their job to prevent that from happening, and they didn't.
I mean, I really hope none them. We're turning a blind eye.
But there's no Devil's advocate position where your kid comes back and goes, you
know, what it was worth it. I got famous off of it.
I don't mind that. In fact, the terrible things were done to me,
I don't. I have never seen anyone say that. Do you remember
the movie Doubt? Yeah, and Viola Davis found out that her son was
being molested by a priest, and I'll never forget that scene where she knew
it was happening, but she said it was only for the summer because or
something like that. The kid was going to be leaving to go to school
or something, and she said it was just that short time, but it
was going to get him what she where he wanted to go, and it
ruined his life, you know. And so but she didn't say anything because
she knew her son want to do achieve whatever he was going to achieve.
But I thought, what a price, you know, like, well,
you know, I would have probably killed the guy. Like I mean,
I know the parents looking back really really really have remorse, and that,
you know, the one mom said, I would never never put my kid
in television or any that atmosphere ever, ever after what I've been through and
seene well even now, that one guy said that they worked them all these
extra hours, like they said, hey, you know, oh my god,
the way they treated women on the set, the women writers. They
made them split up a salary. Yeah, and then he made the one
say, hey, tell us about bend Over and pretend like you're being sodomized
and tell us about basically telling you the whole movie. But like, but
I mean, I'm like what, And she didn't know because she needed the
job, And I'm like, oh my god, what it's hard to watch.
It's but it's very interesting. And I heard today that there's going to
be more episodes. Oh yeah, So I don't know if it's going to
be allegedly I don't. I don't know, but I wonder if it's going
to take a turn with a different show or something, because I felt like
that was Yeah, I felt like that was pretty wrapped up at the end.
So am I do Disney? Yeah? Well when you were growing up,
when you were young, did you prefer the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.
I didn't watch Nickelodeon. I didn't watch a lot of TV as a kid,
though. I wasn't a TV kid. What were you movie or book
kid? I was book Lego's play outside. Also, well, I watched
a lot of movies. I just TV was I hate and I don't like
watching commercials. When I was young, they didn't have all that stuff.
We had three TV channels and they had to get up. You had to
get up to turn it. They had rabbit ears when I was a kid,
if that there was no computer. No, I don't know what the
I was alive. I was young, I don't know, probably ten when
the Beta player came out. That's how yeah, oh my god. But
it was a simpler time. Kid's got molested during that simple time. Oh
my god, you know, I mean, I'm wondering if they'll do like
a whole like different strokes and all that stuff. You know, like what
happened to those kids? Because the kid that played Gary Coleman, he was
all messed up. He came into the studio one time, we interviewed him
on the radio and he was very angry, very very very angry person and
it was really sad. Yeah, and Dana Plato, who played Kimberly Drummond,
she Mackenzie fell ups, like, oh TV's not a place for kids,
or wasn't. Maybe maybe it's completely changed because of all of this.
But boy, it's called quiet on the set. It's really good. It
is something else. And another one to watch it is a barn Burner and
you look at her totally differently. Now it's on Peacock and it's called Stormy.
It's the Stormy Daniels documentary. And she's the porn star that had the
little delliance with Trump. Yeah, a man, is that something. But
she is smart and she's funny. But what happened to her is insane.
Okay, like what because I mean I don't really care for people that monetize
their kind of boring stories like she got paid by Trump to you know,
to Bangham, Like that's not interesting to me. I wouldn't watch it.
Here's the thing, that's what a lot of people think, but that's not
exactly what happened. So she was working a golf tournament in just a reader's
Diges's version, and he said, I like you because you're smart. They
got into a conversation. He said, I like how you're building your empire.
I like how smart you are, that your business savvy, that you're
producing, you're doing all this stuff. You would be a great candidate for
the Apprentice. And that's how that ball got rolling. Does it get juicye?
I mean yeah it does. And I think a lot of people equate
her achieve and says in the documentary, I'm so sick and tired of seeing
porn star Stormy Daniels in front of my name like I've done nothing, Like
that's all that there is to me. But it important. It is.
It's what sells headlines because a president and a porn star is you know,
salacious and everything. But what happens to her with it, you would not
even believe it has Monica Lewinsky done a documentary a couple I think, yeah,
well, at least interviews. I don't know if there's been a full
blown documentary on her, but this one was worth watching because it literally just
shows you what power can do. I'm sure. I just we have I
think we have a weird tendency in society to highlize people that don't really need
to be idolized. Of course, oh absolutely, lot of Lewinsky feel it's
a little different because there's an element of coercion there with Stormy Daniels. Just
I mean, he paid a porn start to hook up with him. Like,
I don't know, like she's not a hero, I don't know.
To me, I don't really see like a sympathetic tale there. I mean
you but man, like, what has she done for society or to help
don't feel bad for her? Well, you might change your opinion when you
watch it, because I went in thinking hmm, and you come out thinking
of it seeing it totally differently. Yeah, And I'm not trying to defend
Trump because you know, yeah, yeah, but you well you know,
he hasn't been exactly truthful in a lot of things, and she just doesn't
care she's just like, I'm telling the truth. I've got nothing to lose
and you know everything. Right now, I'm sad because I truly believe the
best in everybody, and I believe people are honest. They're not usually and
I always get burned. Like now I'm feeling like, really, Drake Bell
had some controversy and so now like my feelings are changing a little bit,
like I've went full force into supporting him and being sad, and yes,
those things shouldn't have happened to him, but now it's tarnished a little bit
for me. But people are also in the scale of you know, they're
not black and white, They're on a scale of gray. So Drake Bell,
for example, I mean, yeah, he did some terrible things.
There's probably something to do with the fact that terrible things were done to him
as a kid. Stormy Daniels, she may have been put in a weird
situation where she was somewhat victimized by a very powerful man. At the same
time, though she was a porn star and she got, you know,
paid to sleep with Trump, I'm sure, you know, I'm sure there
was a part of her that was that was a good deal and honestly,
if I was in her shoes, maybe we've done the same too. I'm
sure she got paid a lot of money. Yeah, Like it's I mean,
and maybe, you know, maybe there was more of that situation.
But people are not just good and bad. They do good things, they
do bad things so well. And the media tends to also sensationalize everything because
it does sell of course, yeah, papers, and you know whatever.
I mean, it's just like, is everything just corrupt? Pretty much?
I just wished it wasn't. You know, things are both corrupt and also
good, So I mean, you take it for what you can. Speaking
of that, I saw a show I think it's on Netflix that's called The
Disappearance of Flight. I don't want to hear the alien no, no,
no, no, I'm not going alien on you. I'm not going at
all that. I'm not at all alien on this one. But it's just
about an airplane of Boeing seven seven seven, filled with two hundred and thirty
six passengers just disappeared off the radar and disappeared forever and or did it.
Like I'm not going to give anything away, but it takes twists and turns,
like you like, who's lying who's telling the truth? Is this real?
What really happened is that this person is that person? Where are these
people? You know what I mean? I mean, Oh my gosh,
I don't know what it's good. I've heard someone's really good. I heard
one theory that was kidnapped by aliens and there's a leged video of that happening,
which okay, but I mean, it seems pretty pretty clear that the
pilot is doing like a mass suicide. That well, they do make that
case, but then there's something else that happened that they're like, well,
wait a minute, it could be this other thing. Anyway, it's so
interesting. So those are some some of our picks, right, and there's
a new one. Oh yeah, you wanted to tell me about this on
Apple TV Plus. It's called Palm Royal. It's with a Kirsten Wig Carol
Burnett. So it's funny, Alison, Jenny. It is so good.
It's funny, it's it is. It's three episodes in I think new episodes
are on Wednesdays, and it is. It is. Yes, it's very
white, lotusy and it's very it's awesome. She is fantastic. Ricky Martin's
in it. Josh uh. He was in that Reese Witherspoon movie. I
think my Sweet Home Alabama TV subscription dive but all I'll cook it back up
if it's worth it. It is, it's great, okay, and you
can come over watch. Oh thank you. And you're cable because you have
cable too. I know I miss cable, I do, I really don't.
I hate cable. Well anyway, so what what are you? You
have a movie or something? I went and saw on Friday, the new
Ghostbusters movie, after Light or Not, After Life, Frozen, Empire.
I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan, Okay, I'm just curious to know how many
are there. I didn't realize there were more than let me break it down.
Okay, there's the nineteen eighty four classic Ghostbusters. There's the nineteen eighty
nine semi classic terrible movie Ghostbusters two, which is oddly my mom's favorite.
Then there is the twenty sixteen reboot female reboot which was oh yes with Christian
wegg right, which is fairly terrible. Okay, it started out good,
got really bad. And then there was the twenty twenty one reboot Ghostbusters Afterlife,
starring the Young the New Young cast and Paul Rudd, which was actually
pretty good, and this is the sequel to that one. Okay, it's
okay, it's not great. Is Paul Rudd back? Yeah, okay,
I mean Paul Rudd's never bad in the movie. I mean he's been in
bad movies, but he's never been bad in the movie, so he's fun
in it. It's all right. They bring back all the old people.
They are still alive briefly. You know, I wouldn't even know right now
what movie is new, what movie is streaming yet it's just like it comes
out so fast. I miss going to the movies, but I do too.
That's why I specifically went, because I do that. Well, I'll
just wait for it to go on streaming. But I wanted to go see
in the movies. It was worth it at a good time. It was
a little expensive, but it is so fun to go to the movies.
But I wish it would have seen to another family night. Okay, Oh,
what's coming up? Anything scary? Oh? That one thing it's about?
Oh no? Oh yes, Hero looks good. And there's also a
new one coming out called The New Quiet Place movie is coming out, which
looks good. Hey, okay, so here I have an update on Drake
Bell for you. Oh I just I just texted him and asked him and
he sent me out. Oh okay, okay, oh yeah, fio wikipedia
okay, it says. Belle was arrested on December twenty four, twenty fifteen,
for driving under the influence in Glendale. He mentions that two am witnessed
him swerving and driving over the speed limit. Blah blah blah. In August
twenty twenty, his former girlfriend, Melissa Lingefeld, alleged him a verbal and
physical abuse during their three year relationship in the late two thousands. Sling Felt
also accused Belle of inappropriate behavior regarding underage girls. Belle had denied the allegations.
June fourth, twenty twenty one, he was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio,
and charges relating to attempted endangering of children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
A public information officer with a car arrested. That's yeah, good,
it said. The fifteen year old victim, who had established a relationship with
Bell several years prior, attended his concert in December twenty seventeen. While there,
Bell violated his duty of care and in doing so created a risk of
harm to the victim. He pleaded not He was thirty one at the time
of the alleged incident and the victim was fifteen say that he did anything no,
so probably means they couldn't get him fully on like statutory ray charges or
anything. But there was some enough there for yeah, because it says.
He pleaded not guilty and was freed on a twenty five hundred dollars personal bond
and was ordered to provide a DNA sample. He agreed to have no contact
with the accuser in the case, with a pre trial hearing schedule for June
twenty third. On June twenty third, he pleaded guilty to both charges.
On July twelfth, twenty twenty one, Bell's acute user, then nineteen,
made a public appearance and statement accusing him of sexually assaulting her while she was
under age. In addition to the engagement charges, Bell was sentenced to two
years of probation in two hundred hours of community service, which he was permitted
to complete in California. He was not allowed to have any contact with his
victim. BINGO, there's the one, My god, I feel duped.
I kind of feel duped. You could have googled it. I wouldn't have
known what to google because I believed. I mean, I just wow,
it was though it still sucks what happened. I mean, it's, oh,
it doesn't detract from what happened to him. And maybe maybe those are
those two things are causally linked. But you know, well, you know,
I think also it's I think it would be very similar to a young
child growing up and watching a parent abuse another parents or they are conditioned to
that, and there's that area where they, even though they're an adult,
they can't dissimilate between what's right and what's horribly wrong. You know what else
I got from that documentary? He is very talented Drake Bell. I thought
he's hysterically this great timing. He is a good physical comedy actor. Amanda
Binds from that get was so messed up. Now he's talented, was so
talented, but that environment was just horrific. I'm sure that plays a part
in that. Oh, yes, it sure is. The lesson really is
is to parents, make sure you are aware of make sure your kids are
sicking. It's but that I yes, yes, and all those parents were
right there, They were right there they I don't know, you gotta,
I mean, I get it, but well I think it sucks, it
does well, and I think that they were putting a lot of trust,
you know, because it's yeah, they were. It's just not people in
the film and television industry. You know, you put your trust in a
teacher that they're going to take care of your kids. And look how many
times you hear that a teacher's had an affair with a student Mary Kate Laturno,
you know, or a principal or a priest or any a doctor or
anything like that. It's like Jesus, who do you like? You know
what? Something this weekend? I got a weird feeling, and tell me
what you think on backstage, you know that thing that I'm on that I
try to get acting gigs and voiceovers mainly anyway, and I'm horrible at it,
but it's just addicting to see what's out there. Right. So there
was one that was it was like a student film in San Diego, and
it was I think paid very little or unpaid. By'm like, you know
what, why not whatever? I don't know. So they contact me very
brief. They kind of give me like we want you to come up.
We meet us at this dress. Can you do Saturday? And here's one
little side of the script. Something told me this is a setup. Am
I watching too much Dateline? Or am I being smarter than I used to
be? Or are they? Or what? What you have? Your little
voice tells you something isn't right. It really and I didn't good. They
just gave me an address, and and and at first, of course,
I'm flattered that they chose me, you know, I mean, that's an
ego boost. You know, I'm not gonna lie about that. But then
they're just something just wasn't right, and it was my gut. I don't
know. Oh, I hate saying this. I hate saying I wasn't planning
on saying this out loud, But I think you just have to trust your
gut. And I bet a lot of those parents did have some weird feelings
but just didn't go on them. I think it's an easy situation to overlook
it when the reward is in return is really high. Yeah, but I
mean, you know, and I don't want to cast too much judgment because
I've never been in that position. But you know, your one job is
really to protect your kids. And they they very well may have been,
you know, playing being a little risky, and maybe it's just that's all
it was. They were being a little risky for a high reward. And
you know, we know and I you know, sometimes you see those I
mean, you know, way back when I had met a lot of those
child stars, and I remember a lot of them for being so young.
I remember thinking, man, I would have never got away. I would
never get away with this with my parents, you know, because I auditioned
for stuff and my parents would have never let me behave like that in a
million years. And they can be bratty and run the roofs like I think
in The money Maker, they're the ones that are putting the roofs. One
of them in the documentary say that in the family home she was the child
actor and she had the master bedroom and that the yeah, that the parents
were kind of afraid of her, you know, And I was like,
that's where you have everybody by the short hairs. I mean, if you
pay the bills. Yeah, you know, as an eight year old,
ten year old, thirteen year old, and you know what, as a
parent, look, we're doing the best we can with what we have.
I mean, I'm sure those parents did the best they could. Yeah,
you know, I just I'm I bad actors comes to parents too in that
arena, you know, true, but well, and I think a lot
of them also, I bet if you did a poll, a lot of
those parents are living vicariously through their kids. They wanted to be a child
star or they wanted to be in movies, and their kids are getting them
at least that sensation of on set, you know. And it's not their
kids money. Actually, it is their money because their kid legally can't you
know, have the money. So it's pretty nice when your kids buying you,
you know, whatever you want. So I'm sure it's hard to say
to you up on that. And maybe they didn't know. Maybe some of
them were, you know, I think a lot of them probably were playing
it kind of risky. Yeah, And a lot of those parents were just
so happy because their kids, from a very young age, that's all they
ever wanted to do. When they finally had that opportunity, the parents felt
so good about themselves that they were able to provide that wish, that dream
come true for their kid. Well, you know that that one kid,
I mean, he was so young when he was on that show, and
he said several times during his interview, I just wanted to have a better
life for my family. I wanted to get us out of like the I
guess they didn't live in a very good place and stuff, and he goes,
I just wanted to get out, and then he got canceled. They
were like, Nope, we don't need you anymore. Yeah, because they
said the mom was too was two hands on. I would you know,
I would be too, though I wouldn't just drop my key off of the
studio. I'd be they'd be an eyesight. Well, and that's what happened
with Drake bell Is. The mom was like, I'm this guy will come
to Glendale or Orange County and get you and fine, and let she let
him spend the night at his house, you know, because she was like,
oh he'll you can spend the night there. And then I'm like,
how bad must she feel? And honestly, though like I mean not to
sound to be she should though, like that's crazy. Well, you know.
The that was the turning part was the girlfriend. The mom got on
the horn and said, if you don't do something, I will because something
is going on between this man and your underage son. So you better get
to step in and figure something out, because there is no way there's not
something going on. There was something going on. Moral stories. Parents,
watch out for your kids. Yeah, do your best, as you always
have, put their interests first. Yeah, boy, and again good show.
Quiet on the set, right, who okay, we have one more.
We have time for your little story. Oh god. And it reminds
me of something that has happened to me in the past. But yes,
so, Eric calls me kind of in bears, a little bit frantic,
in a somewhat of a panic. Yes, so I told you that I'm
When you were over, you were looking at some of my photographs that I've
been editing beautiful, And I had gone to see one of the people that
I'm going to be working with shipping and stuff. And I was leaning over.
He was sitting at his desk and showing me like the shipping things and
the frames and stuff like that. And he paused, and I'm not paying
h I'm just looking at the computer screen. And I was standing. I
come back around and I was standing. He was sitting in on the keyboard
and he goes, mister Rimmer, and I said, yes, and he
goes, your dick is resting on my hand. I'm sorry, what the
fuck? And I was like what and I was leaning over and my it
was just point like right, I'm not plot back of his hand, Jesus
Christ. I mean I have on. He did really well. This is
why, this is why we were underwear. So I was so horrified.
Okay, poor little your monster cock is just danglars. Oh my god.
I was so and I immediately called her and it immediately reminded me of my
hair dresser when I was younger in high school. It was a man,
and he would he kind of stood kind of with it out, but just
as that was just his posture. He kind of like legs camera Sharon Stone.
I didn't realize so it was that low anyway, so he kind of
was leaning back like that, and when he would come up close to like
cut my hair or his dick would like rub up against my like side because
it was sticking out kind of. And I remember feeling that, and I'm
sure that happens with like when you get your hair cut by a female or
they're Washington, don't you get a boo rub every once in a while by
accident yeah, if it happens, So it happens with this too, don't
feel bad. Oh, I was horrified. Man, I'd be hyper aware
though. If my crotch is that close to, like, you know,
someone like that, I'd be would be very aware of that. Though.
Were you thinking that it was just a piece of furniture. I thought it
was just the I wasn't even thinking, but I thought I was just leaning
against the edge of the desk. I didn't realize his hand was there.
Oh god, lord, she'd just like cry in the bathroom for like three
hours if if that happened to me with him or a stranger, a stranger,
Oh my god. Can you imagine if somebody, if somebody at your
nail salon was like, Misscane, your vagina's rubbing against my hand. Yeah,
I'd hang myself from the ceiling phone. My god, I was.
I would. I just can't get out of there fast. Oh God,
I hit my dog in the face. I forgot that he was even sitting.
I would go, oh, I'm sorry, I'll be right back.
I'd open a window and I would jump out of it from like the third
floor. I would have jumped out the window had I not been on the
first floor. My god, I was like, I'll be right back.
I take off in the sprints. They watched me sprint through the open door.
I leave it open, I'd run into traffic. That's why I should
have just backed my car into a garage and put a hose from the pipe
into the window. I'm laughing, But are you talking if it were it
was me, if I did that to somebody? Oh okay, because if
you did it to me and I drink bleacher something thought you were talking about,
like like, yeah, if I did that to somebody, I would
ask myself if you did it to me, I probably would also have to
kill myself. I mean, lord, what if you were up What if
you were uploading the podcast and I was leaning over the desk watching you,
and you're like, Eric, your dick is resting on the back. You
would like grab it as a joke. She might flick it, you know
what. I wouldn't say anything, probably just like I'd probably jiggle my balls.
She probably wouldn't notice, and then accidentally like knee it or elbow it
really hard. I know that's that's totally like, but no, that that
is the thing that happens in life. Don't feel bad about it. Well,
I'm feel weird about it. You might want to wear underwear when people
are at Oh yeah, I mean that you had a Were they jeans this
thick or were they like thin dress pants? No, they were jeans,
just regularly. Okay, So you had a little bit. Okay, so
I would call your crotch on your dick. It's not like like you know,
like he had his Okay, well, here his hand. So this
is the edge of the desk. Hold on, I got here. Just
use my hand here. I'm just gonna Oh my god, are you actually
gonna do it? Here? Here? Okay? His hand was on,
which I didn't realize, and I was basically pretty much thanks straddling it and
leaning over it. You're welcome. Thank god I didn't do that. Oh
my god, I would have died of fright. I still would have hung
myself. Oh my god. Now wait a minute before we say goodbye.
If I if you, by accident gave me a boob rub with your bare
hands, not bear boobed, but you definitely felt my boobs. But by
accident, you wouldn't hang yourself give me a bride honestly, if it was
clearly an accident. If it was like very clearly like I bumped into you,
I just wouldn't say anything. But if it was like a like a
oh, I'd be like, sorry, I have to tell you one thing.
Marla would never let me do that hurt. Okay, that's here coming
tears. Hours since the Borlaw episode, I've been very sensitive. But I
just paid you a compliment. I know. The reason the top three is
he gets to he gets to TV Studio produce you. Oh my god,
this is so many no parents around. Jeez. Anyway, I'm tired.
Are you ready to go? Let's go. Let's finish this thing for before
exactly that or God forbidden Brian get another text or alert on his I watch.
That'll really sent her over the edge. She's a little she's a little
fragile this evening. It's got something. It's not an eification. I'm just
checking the time to see when I can leave. I mean, she got
just really truly checking the She got knocked off her verse pillar last episode.
Boy just grazed her boob like she never had a pillar though, But yeah,
you know, I guess I didn't. I mean, you have a
pillar like number two or three, which no, she she intimidates me.
She's number one big time. She made me really nervous, really truly nervous.
It really was. I feel like kind of shaking a little bit.
I don't know that's serious, but it is to me. I shouldn't be
that's why you're number two, but it is to her too, since it
that's why you're number two. I think it almost feels like you're the ex
wife meeting the new wife. It does kind of feel like that a little
bit. Or yes, it sure does. Which one is she the X
or the new I'm the new? You know, I think it is.
I think that they just opened up their relationship to a threesome. I know
she put me at one point, would you like to put your vagina on
the bottom of my hand? Like, you know, he does all those
things with you, but you still don't together and you have no idea what
real life is like Mike, like would you like a finger blast? And
no, you can't come over for dinner? Oh my god? And then
I pee my pants and like the dogs even leave it. He's getting tired
of all this. He's done with your You guys, thank you so much
for listening this week and for just listening to Laura Kane after dark. In
general, we really like doing it and we hope you like listening to it
and love doing it you. I love doing it you geez. Brian,
I actually too loved. She loves doing it with you and I, Brian,
I love doing it with you. Hey, you and I could do
the Eiffel Tower. Okay, okay, too far, too far, too
far. Watch where you put your crutch, and Lord, keep your boobs
tucked in somewhere away and stop spreading your legs in front of the camera.
Was that long? Dude? Why are you spreading your legs? Period?
Plus you have a giant screen in front of you telling you. I was
looking underware a lady, you're wearing panties? Yes, good, I was
unaware. I'm sorry, why are you doing it in the first place?
Listen? Because he was trying to show you you're wearing a dress. Listen.
She was unaware that she was beavering out everybody, just like I was
unaware that my dick and balls were sitting on the back. I got a
wolf of air just like Bryan. You don't know by now that I do
everything full out, like yeah, you know, I danceful. I know
that, and I'm saying maybe you should. I can't help it. I
think you can. I really truly, you see, I just agree.
It's making you uncross your legs and a dress and in front of a camera
being like he was like this with his crutch like what I'm doing now his
crotch out? Okay, wait, are you saying I did this on purpose?
Well it wasn't an accident. You were re enacting something. Yes I
was, but I was and you so you purposely opened your legs but not
for leg to be inappropriate. Well you only open said finger blast. I
don't know what I'm being accused of anyway, and laughing at the same time.
I think I'm crazy. Oh my little let's just bring Marla back for
a time. Eric and Friends after dark? Oh my god, you know
that'd be fun because it's I'm already dead dead off for dark. You already,
well, dude, you found your You found your freaking new host.
If you die, yeah, we have something to continue the wings. You
remove that you have somebody already waiting in the wings. It does Marlakar and
Eric after Dark. I feel like me and Eric could carry the show and
just you know, bringing random guests. So why is it getting this way
now? It's not like no offense to you. I just feel like me
and Eric could totally kill your show. Wow, oh my god, are
you trying to tell? Is this an intervention? How? What? What
are like? Is this a regime? Takeovers? We're like Laura, We're
gonna go on a little drive. The boards voted, You're actually pack a
bag. Talk my ouch. Oh my god. That's the way it feels.
It's so weird. Next week's bride and I sitting here and you're behind
the computer. I'm nowhere off And that would be fun. That actually be
a funny just be looking at her watch. That would be a funny episode
where just me and Eric do it. Okay, I got a light bulb.
We all play each other like I'll play you, you play, somebody
has to play me. Would that be a funny episode? You be me,
I'll be in Brian you. Oh that's amazing for a whole show.
Do you think you could carry that? I think I could do you and
Eric? I think I could carry the show about I know what do if
you just swap couch and cherry you guys, wait a minute, and I
host. Now I'm offended. Okay, exactly have we created a monster?
Okay, everyone's getting younger. He ain't kid, he's not lying all the
old late night hosts. I've changed the scenario. Somebody's going on a drive
and it's not either did you drink that water he served? No, I
didn't serve your water. It's your own damn water. Because I'm young.
That would be funny, because I have a blonde wig which sings. You
put something in it, that'd be funny. Though. I could totally do
you. I know, would you be into that? Yeah, we can
do that'll be funny. And then I could totally do Brian for sure and
try Oh easily, I'm an actress. Come on, you have also run
