[PREVIEW] Episode 288 spirals from a surreal Met Gala costume fantasy—complete with "cow-like" implants, devil shoes, and stolen-nuclear-employee makeup—to the event’s chaotic reality, where attendees confuse dates and dismiss it as mere art. The Carl Lagerfeld obsession reveals his cult-like persona: a "scary homosexual" German titan whose rivalry with Yves Saint Laurent (The Beautiful Fall) shaped fashion’s golden age, now replaced by faceless "creative directors." The episode ends questioning whether today’s industry lost its Lagerfelds—or if radical self-reinvention could revive them. [Automatically generated summary]
So you know how right now I only have two nipples, right?
And so theoretically, I mean, I have really fucked up like thumb-sized shit, so I could fit a lot of piercings on them, but it's really one nipple piercing each.
By Monday, I will have the udders of two and a half cows on straight up, front to bottom, top to bottom, basically down to the beginning of my crotchel area.
And each of those will contain about seven to eight piercings each.
Combine that with chainmail, full chainmail I'm wearing.
And of course, those devil shoes.
You know what I'm talking about?
I talked about the podcast before.
Tabbies.
I'll be wearing the devil shoes and whatever a Maxi skirt is.
But with the facial makeup of the they, them that got fired from the nuclear department for stealing luggage.
So that's kind of going up top, everything down as I described.
On my fingers, on my fingers will be what you think are Super Bowl rings, but upon closer inspection, there are Super Bowl rings from Super Bowls that haven't happened yet.
So I'm talking 2050, 2062, 2075.
Raiders versus Raiders 2.
I feel like this is a bit dated.
Adios.
Yeah.
Hey, how you doing?
What's up?
Nothing.
Do you know what Monday is?
What is Monday?
It's the first Monday in May.
Okay.
It's May Day.
Oh, yeah.
But no, it's the fucking Met Gala.
The Met Gala.
What is the Met Gala?
What?
What?
It's the Met Gala.
I don't know what you want, actually, a little bit further than that.
Wait, do you not know that's what we were talking about when we just did that bit?
What?
What is the Met?
It's an art museum?
You've never been to the Met?
No.
Why are you saying that proud?
I'm not proud.
I'm just saying no.
I'm saying it's more petulant than proud.
Why don't you go?
It's lovely.
What would I do there?
What's there?
Both of you just told me to go.
Museum.
But it's art.
Okay.
I'll go.
I'll go next week.
I'll go to the Met.
Why Not Go?00:02:23
Yeah, well, yeah.
Oh, so now I'm planning your week.
No, I need to.
You need activities, don't you?
You need activities.
I don't need activities.
I'm already, well, I'm going on Monday anyway.
You can't go on Monday.
Well, the gala is, they have a thing where like Rihanna goes.
What's the theme?
Carl Lagerfeld.
No.
I'm totally grabman.
Is that the same person?
No.
Carl Lagerfeld is.
Dead.
He's perished.
Who was the designer at Chanel for a really long time before that?
Obviously, Chloe Fendy, also namesake, Lagerfeld, line.
What?
Chloe Fendy?
No, those are two.
What's up Creation over here?
For all our listeners who are not petulant and are interested in what I'm saying.
So nobody.
Well, that's you wish.
I read the comments.
There's a great book.
I don't know if I mentioned it, but it's called The Beautiful Fall.
It's about the rivalry between St. Laurent and Lagerfeld.
And it's actually, it's a great book, and their relationship was very interesting.
And you can actually learn a lot, which is something that I like to do, unlike my compatriot across from me, whose name is Brace.
And I'm Liz.
Welcome to Trunan.
Hello.
Let me ask you something.
And Young Chomsky, producer, Young Chomsky.
Talk about Petulant.
Well, listen, who is – so Karl Lagerfeld, tall, imposing, scary homosexual.
German.
German.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, then maybe he's not gay.
Who is the Carl Lagerfeld of today?
Who's the scariest person?
Who's irreplaceable?
But who's the scariest guy that they have in those things?
Well, it's different because no, you don't really, you don't have designers.
You have creative directors, which don't get me started on that.
out, but there's, there's, so you don't really have the kind of personalities, much like academics, actually.
You don't really have the kind of interesting and complicated and fraught personalities.
I mean, they've sort of, you know, they've designed them out.
So there isn't one?
I don't think so.
Is there room for one?
You can see where I'm going for this here.
Because I think that if I fuck with some stuff, physically speaking on my body a little bit and other things, like if I maybe grow significantly.
