Chicks in the office with Brea and Crane giving you that Friday energy on a Monday.
Weird setup.
Weird setup.
You have to get out in front of it.
Recording on my phone.
This is the first time we've ever done this.
And it's making me uncomfortable.
We have never done this before.
but look, we plan to be in the studio
and then Wham, Hurricane came out of nowhere,
didn't know it was coming and just for, you know,
an abundance of caution slash everyone being like,
ah, you should stay home, like don't, you know, don't drive, don't travel, whatever.
So we're staying home.
We're doing, we're doing our job.
You want to hear something fucked up yesterday?
My mom went to the store.
She comes back.
It's like around lunchtime.
I'm like, mom.
cold cuts like i want a fucking sandwich you got any cold cuts and she's like i went to the store
they ran out of cold cuts i'm like are you joking the way you just went they ran out of cold cuts
with your head i also would like to put the we're now at podcast two we've gone two episodes in a row
now of you mentioning your mother and the food in the house one was not enough good snacks
Now she's messing up the cold cuts.
She's reporting in the basement.
I just realized that as I said it, I was like, wow, you are really reversing an age.
You are really going back in time.
The cold cuts.
Mom, ma, the meatloaf.
Wow, the fucking meats.
You didn't get them.
I was like, this house is a fucking prison.
No cold cuts.
She was like, the hurricane's coming.
It's so just unbelievable.
Listen, I feel like this is okay for a little bit.
I don't know how long.
I give myself a year.
I feel like because I moved out at such a young age,
or not such a young age, normal, 19,
but like I really lived like a full grown adult for a little bit.
And my siblings never really left.
Like they're still here.
They're older than I am.
Like I feel like it's all.
right that I'm here right now. And depending on my mother, my mommy, to give me food and to tuck me in at night.
You also never did, like you also, there's so many people who do, um, you know, graduate from college and then live at
home for a little bit, uh, didn't do that. And skipped all of that.
And with COVID, so many people like our age didn't move home. And I think we're like, this is a
This is kind of nice.
It's fucking awesome.
Listen, I went through a period of time where I did not fuck with my family so hard.
Like, I don't even know why.
Like, I look back, I'm like, what was your problem?
I feel like everyone goes to that phase, right?
Like, yeah, yeah.
You're like, I just want to be on my own for a little bit.
And then I came back home and I love them.
Like, I can't get enough of these people.
And I just laugh at everything they do.
And also they take care of me.
and they're like, you know what, Rhea, run free.
Run free, do your thing.
I get, like, yelled at barely.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, there's no rules or anything.
So it is what it is.
And if they think I'm doing something wrong,
they just laugh about it.
I just become like the butt of the joke.
And I'm fine with that too.
I'm providing free entertainment for this household.
Exactly.
So everything's good.
But it's been a very quiet weekend on my part,
just been laying low.
getting some rest, good, good sleep.
You had another wedding.
We're deep into wedding season right now.
I know, I'm sure we have a ton of listeners that are either getting married or had
weddings that were postponed or just have a ton of weddings to go to.
And I just, I think that's like August, September, October, so many, so many.
This is my final one, I think, on my radar.
One can sneak up on me.
But last night I had a wedding.
It was beautiful.
My sister's best friend.
My sister was the maid of honor.
They're like the hottest couple in the world.
Swear to God.
I can second that.
They're just so fucking hot.
She is truly one of the prettiest people I've ever seen.
She is a sex icon.
And she'll, like, the best thing about her is that she'll call everyone else a sex icon as well.
So you're like, wow, this hot-ass girl is also complimenting me.
I feel amazing.
She's also a teacher, but I won't say names.
Great couple.
great wedding, but I will say this. I love people who, you know, go the extra mile with their wedding.
That's what they want in their life. Go for it. If you want to spend all that money and that time on
that one big night, you do you. I'll be there. I will be on that dance floor and I will attend
and I will drink and I will eat and I will have a good time. There's two weddings I want in my life.
We all know the first one. I want to get married in Vegas real quick.
quick, not like a real deal wedding.
Me, no.
Semi in the middle.
Toxic.
And then the second one, I want to be, I just want to get married real fast, like,
quick little ceremony on the beach, maybe, or outdoors somewhere.
And then just a blowout party.
Like, I don't need the showers and, you know, all the two.
I just want to walk down.
There was a very funny batte party that was coming into a restaurant.
I was at this weekend.
you know, small town.
So clearly you're not having a while a bachelorette.
But it was a group of women, you know, probably like late 30s, early 40s kind of vibe.
Maybe even older, I don't know.
And they're like whooping it up, you know, she's got a crown on.
And the last woman who comes in just looks at our table or just like, second time around, baby.
Yep.
There you go.
I'm like that's the vibe.
Low key.
It's like having, it's having two lives.
It's like extending your life by having two marriages.
I'm kidding.
I don't actually wish to have two marriages.
But I think for my, listen, the Vegas one is up in the air.
That one's just like if it happens, it happens.
I do plan to only get married once, but you never know.
I right now, I don't envision like a big reception.
Like I want to get married real quick.
We say our idos.
It's not a big to do.
We walk down the aisle, do that whole shabang.
and then just blowout party on the beach.
Rave type.
Ultra Miami style.
There's going to be a DJ and light.
Yes, DJ and a band.
First part will be a band.
And then when it hits midnight, it turns into a DJ fest.
All the kids go home.
After hours.
Yeah.
Love it.
That sounds great.
Well, anyways, we're deep into.
It's not happening anytime soon.
No, no, no.
Deep into that time.
But it is fun.
And I'm not.
could lie, you know, as long as the storm's like not that bad, which it does kind of seem like
that's this, this guy, this French dude who's coming up here.
Henri. Hurricane Henri. I don't know why we gave him that name, but here he is. I love it.
Everyone hates it. I love it. I don't know. Yeah, well, everyone was freaking out about it.
And well, the media loves to hype up the storms. It's like the hurricane. They love to
hype up. There's a hurricane coming. There's a hurricane coming. And, you know, in some areas,
there's a lot of wind. And, you know, I did see like places in Rhode Island, Connecticut,
have lost power. Specifically where we are, it's just been a lot of rain, constantly raining for
since last night. Hasn't stopped raining one second. So in that sense, it's a lot of flooding.
Yeah. And it's such a Sunday. It's such a Sunday. And, you know,
Sundays get me down.
I'm trying not to let this one get me down,
but Sundays really pull on my heartstrings.
And then at a rainy Monday,
I'm not going to be happy until Wednesday.
Tuesday will be a cool off day.
But that matches the mood.
Like, I love a rainy Sunday and Monday.
Like, I don't, like, I'm never going to be happy on Monday.
No, but I am happy on sunny Mondays.
Sunny Monday, go to work.
You do feel like taking a nice walk at night.
Do you feel like we started a week better?
yeah it's like oh i'm starting my week off shitty and i won't be happy till wednesday and then
thursday comes around a friday and then we're back in the same routine but anyways friday again
it's saturday sunday what all right i'm back in it we'll be happy on wednesday let's get through
this week ladies and gentlemen all right let's get through this hurricane it's a good sunday eat eat your
good food lay around watch tv i started nine perfect strangers on hulu and nicold kidman
because it's a little freaky.
It kind of scared me a little bit in the best way possible
because Nicole Kidman is so captivating, mesmerizing.
I am, I tweeted this the other day
and then I deleted it because I'm not exactly sure.
I'm thinking about locking Nicole Kidman in as my favorite actress.
I'm thinking about it.
As your favorite, I mean, she is very good.
I'm thinking about it.
There's a lot of show she's in that I'm,
like these are my favorite shows.
She's fucking killing it.
And she just captivates you when she's on the screen.
And like I said,
I'm thinking about it.
I'm not 100% locked in yet.
So I just wanted that out there.
Nine perfect strangers on Hulu would recommend.
She has definitely solidified herself as the recent top dog
when it comes to limited series.
She can't not crush a limited series.
That's all she's been doing.
She doesn't miss.
She doesn't miss.
And she's doing like an accent in this one.
Oh.
By surprise.
eyes. I was like, whoa, I wasn't expecting this. She's killing it. She's, and also the other.
I, I'm not 100% sure. Huh. I did. No, no 100% sure. Interesting. Well, I'm very excited to start it.
And that is very high up on, uh, on my list. And that and I have not, I keep saying it. I think I brought it up
like a thousand times.
I want to watch the White Lotus,
which I haven't started yet either,
which is on my list for it today as well.
I also want to watch the White Lotus,
but all of the TikToks that I keep seeing about it
and what people keep saying about it
makes me not want to watch the White Lotus.
Like I heard it was really good and funny.
People just keep saying it's really weird.
Well, not even weird.
They just keep saying it's a whole lot of nothing,
but they're like, it's also good.
It's also a whole lot of nothing.
And I'm like, I'm not being sold,
but everyone's watching it.
So I'm so good.
Yeah.
It's good.
It's good. I would recommend it.
That's okay.
And then I just watch it for yourself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Noah has good taste.
It's only like six episodes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Then I'll watch it.
We also have to keep into consideration that Sidney Sweeney is in it.
So would Noah say it's bad?
Also, Alexandra didario.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yep.
Also, yeah.
I mean, it's a good show.
That's all I just say.
Yeah, it's a good show.
All right.
get into the topics. Let's get into the topics for today's episode. We have Kylie Jenner is
allegedly pregnant. People are saying Greg might be the next bachelor. And we think Channing Tatum and
Zoe Kravitz are dating. It looks like it. They're riding bikes together. She's on his back. Who
knows? And we also have a great interview with Gianina Jebeli from Love is Blind talking all about
that reunion. So let's get into it. Starting off with Kylie Jenner. The summertime,
always making sure that you are looking your best. You're shaving. You're shaving your legs
probably too much. It's so annoying. It's one of the most annoying things. However, when you do it,
you want to make sure that your legs are moisturized. Your skin is ready to go. You got a great
razor, which is why we love the Athena Club razor. It's a great, great razor. Listen, I've been told
that my legs are really smooth by myself.
I've felt them and I have said,
wow, your legs are the smoothest they've ever been.
You're right, because I'll tell you why, Rhea,
they're designed with built-in skin guards
to help prevent razor burn.
They're gentle on curves.
They have thousands of razors.
The razor has thousands of five-star reviews.
And the razor blade is surrounded by a water-activated serum
with shay butter and hyaluronic acid,
which is, you know, the holy grail.
Everybody wants that stuff.
You're putting that on your face.
Why not put it, you know, on your legs?
Keep your skin looking great.
You can pick the razor handle.
You can also pick the magnetic hook for the shower.
What's also great is the razor kit is only $9.
And it comes with two blade heads,
the magnetic cook for the shower,
your choice of handle color.
And I got to say, they're really great.
I also highly,
highly recommend their shave foam.
It's one of the best out there.
I was kind of off on shaving cream for a while,
just like, ah, this is an extra step that I don't need.
But the shave foam is such a game changer.
Next level.
Makes it next level.
You really need it.
So show your skin.

Everybody has been speculating on this.
Apparently, Kylie Jenner allegedly, very allegedly, is pregnant.
We don't know for sure, but that's what everyone is saying.
This, and it's not like this rumor has existed.
This rumor has existed for months now circulating on TikTok.
There were sleuths pointing out her nails in all of her different Instagram stories,
thinking she was pre-recording content.
And now it seems like we're leaning toward she really is pregnant.
I was skeptical at first because page six was the first one to break it.
Page six, exclusive sources say to page six,
Caya Jenner is pregnant.
This happened literally three weeks ago with Paraseltin.
Page six said Paraselgian, she's pregnant.
And guess what Parasilgin said she wasn't pregnant?
So at first, I was skeptical.
It seems like everyone was using this video of Caitlin Jenner as a,
source where she was at an event.
She's asked about having 18 grandkids.
She said, oh, you know, 30 would be a nice number, round number.
And then said, you know, 19.
There's 19 on the way.
Somebody's pregnant.
Didn't say who.
So, of course, everyone thought Kylie.
And then TMZ said, hold the phone, everyone.
Bert Jenner is having his third child.
But maybe she was really talking about Kylie.
We don't know if it's Kylie and Bert.
then there's 20 on the way.
But every other outlet jumped on it afterwards.
It was one after the other, page six, TMZ, people, us, just Jared, E, like everybody,
e-news, you know, once everybody posted, it's like, all right, this thing's probably true.
The reason why I think it's true is because usually when something is not true, Kylie tweets about it,
or she posts an Instagram story about it.
and I feel like something like this, her being pregnant, she would say something.
So, I mean, congrats to Kylie and Travis, question mark.
Yeah.
I think Kylie and Travis, I would, that's what I would expect.
And Kylie always talked about wanting another kid.
So I really don't think it's that surprising.
I mean, when I first heard the news, I was like, holy shit, Kylie Jenner was pregnant,
as if it was the first time she was pregnant.
I mean, like, that was years ago.
She already has a kid.
So it's really not that shocking at this point.
Yeah, but congrats to them.
You're right, Rhea.
She has been pretty vocal about wanting siblings for Stormy
and just making sure the timing's right.
And, you know, pregnancy was a tough thing.
Just making sure she was in the right headspace for it again.
And I did see that there was maybe some YouTube video or something,
maybe on some Instagram thing.
I forget where exactly it was that she did with Stasi that she said,
ideally she wants like seven kids.
So she is definitely read like definitely wants to have more kids.
So it's super not shocking.
We're definitely not going to hear anything from Kylie until there is a physical baby being born.
She won't say anything, which is smart because they always talk about how Stormy is such an amazing kid.
Kendall said this in the keeping up with the Kardashians reunion with Andy Cohen.
That she thinks like Stormy is such just like,
amazing baby because Kylie stayed so like stress free during her pregnancy.
Now, is that a scientific proven fact?
No, but that's, you know, what they think because she was, she didn't leave the house.
She was very private, very close.
And everyone thinks that's kind of how she's going about this again.
I do have a little bit of a theory.
And I think this may have been, I think like, I think Caitlin may have fucked up.
You think so?
I think she may have said that.
Is Bert not even really pregnant?
No, I think Bert is, but I think that she may have said this, which is crazy because you would think
that, you know, she would know to be on total lockdown.
But I just think maybe like she did this.
TMZ got a hold of it.
Chris Jenner got on the phone and was like, you better say it, Bert.
Like I will, you know,
Burt, get in the bedroom right now
And I'm telling you it's Burt
Throw him off the scent.
Let's tell them at let's tell everyone it's Burt.
But at the end of the day,
That didn't really make a difference
Because everybody ran with it
Immediately afterwards.
So it does feel like
This is something that's happening.
And with the pregnancy,
like we've talked about before,
It's never really confirmed
until the person who's pregnant
and says they're pregnant.
Right.
We're big on that.
So we just got to wait for Kylie to say something.
And soon enough, she will because the baby's coming.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Apparently, she is a few months along is what I saw People Magazine, right?
That she has a cute little bump.
Cute.
We'll see what happens.
Big news and Bachelor Nation.
A lot of talk about who the next Bachelor is going to be.
And people are saying it is Greg.
I, I, why? I just like, why do they have to make life so hard? You know, why do they have to make life so hard? Does this guy, because guess what? This is exactly what Greg has always wanted. We're handing Greg being the bachelor on a silver platter. This is what this guy has been groomed for for years now trying to get on this show. I don't know if producers have some soft spot for him or what?
they always thought like, ah, this guy could be a good bachelor down the line.
And they just held onto it for so long.
But I just don't get it.
There's so many other guys that everyone would be happy about.
And of course, people get pissed about the castings all the time.
People were pissed about Ari.
People were pissed about Colton.
People were pissed about Peter.
But it's just like this seems like at an entirely different level.
People really hate Greg.
And it does seem like Greg.
Greg needs some
him time.
He needs to not be on TV.
The way he acted, like Greg
never be the one to say like, hey, you need therapy.
But like, Greg has some demons he needs to work through.
Losing his father relationships.
He's got some bad baggage.
And now he's not ready to be the bachelor.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like you hit everything on the head.
Part of me,
now this is not the rational part.
This was just a little part of me that was like, oh shit, chaos is in the works if Greg is the
Bachelor. And sometimes chaos is fun, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be so fun.
I don't think it's going to be fun. I think that they could have picked anybody else.
I think it was funny to joke around about Greg potentially being the Bachelor of how crazy
the reaction would be. But jokes are only so funny until they reach the point of it actually happening.
And then you're like, oh, I don't know about.
that seems like we could have went anywhere else with this.
So I know.
And I think that there was so many eligible people out there that could have and earned
this spot more than Greg did.
And so it kind of just feels like a slap in the face to everybody who felt like, you know,
maybe they had a better shot.
Maybe they put in more of the time.
And I don't even know what that fucking means when it comes to The Bachelor putting
in the time, I guess, like has Greg put in the time, I guess, if we're going to compare
it to that?
Like, who even knows at this point?
But like I feel like there's a lot of baggage that come, like you said, that comes with Greg.
A lot of people have said a lot of things about Greg, whereas there's people out there that they got a clean record.
It seems, you know what I mean?
I don't even know how else to put that because I guess, because then I kind of feel like a hypocrite,
because then you're saying like, oh, what are you just going to believe what everyone says about somebody?
You know, at the same time?
Yeah.
There's like a little part of me that is like, oh, well, are we just going to believe what?
a bunch of people say about somebody.
But then when there's a lot of people saying it,
you're like, uh, well, all those factors are,
and especially when it's ex-girlfriends,
which can be hard because, you know, a lot of times ex-girlfriends
don't have the nicest things to say about their ex-boyfriends.
But to the extent of what Greg's ex-girlfriends have said about him,
he seems like he is certainly not ready to be getting engaged or being like
glorifying his behavior.
And I don't know, maybe the producers just fucking hate Katie this much that they're like, let's make Greg the Bachelor.
Well, that's, I think that's a good point that you said about like the engagement part because it's like, okay, no matter what these girls are saying about him, it's very clear he's not ready to be engaged to get married.
No.
Like no matter what the level is, what they're talking about, he's not, he is not ready to get married.
It's very clear.
So like, why even put somebody in that position that we know is not going to end up getting engaged married at the end?
because then you just need to change the entire premise of the show.
Because at this point, it's a gamble.
And I feel like they could be going for more people that, like,
are ready to find somebody that they really love.
Yeah.
And I'm hoping that the response to this rumor
maybe makes them think twice about this decision.
This isn't set in stone.
This is like a reality, Steve, saying, like,
I'm pretty positive.
This is what's going to happen.
And then everybody,
freak the fuck out and Mike Flea sends 90 bullshit tweets out that make people ever so pissed he's so
fucking annoying so it's like you never really know what's going to happen it could change it could
not but yeah you're right they could also just be going for straight chaos like they could be
and what sucks is he is that kind of person where like I bet you girls who are coming on or girls
that might be cast some I'm sure are going to like him but some are probably like we got this guy
Like they're probably going to have girls.
If this were to happen, I think they would almost have girls specifically be like,
I don't fucking like you.
Like I don't know, I don't know how they sell that one to us.
He seems like he'd be a bad bachelor.
Like I'm just thinking like worse than worse than Pete.
Like I'm picturing Greg as the bachelor and I'm not loving it.
Yeah, definitely not.
And I compared to the, I mean, we talked about the.
and everybody knows how we felt about it. So it's not like I'm like the biggest Greg
hater in the world. I just also don't really love him as the bachelor pick. Like thinking
about him as the bachelor, I feel like he's going to be a messy, chaotic disaster.
Yeah. Which I mean, maybe we maybe we need that for good TV. Maybe they don't even fucking care
about love anymore, which I don't think they do on the show. But maybe they're like,
just give us a fucking mess because people will watch anyway. People will watch a mess.
Oh, gosh. I really hope it's not him. I do really hope they change it.
Just in the same realm of potentially happy news,
Dumois got multiple submissions this week that Claire and Dale got married.
You know what?
I just wanted to throw that out there.
Congrats to them. Congrats to Dale and Claire.
Fucking crazy kids. Unbelievable.
Those two keep me young. Those two, they keep me believing in love.
They really do.
If they're going to get married?
Exactly.
Anything could happen.
I sent the story to our cutting stems group,
and Trent just responded like all caps,
against all odds.
We don't know what's fully happening,
but the rumor is that they filmed something,
some kind of special,
or maybe it's some sort of people exclusive
that is going to be coming out
that they'll be announcing.
But it could also be a total farce.
she did post on her Instagram story,
like saying that she was filming something
and she showed up the camera and Dale was there and yada yada.
So don't know for sure,
but if those two crazy kids tied the knot,
I mean, unbelievable.
Congrats to them.
It's really true.
Against all odds.
They really did it.
Another rumor that seems to be getting some confirmation is Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum.
It's been a while now that these have been circulating.
Are they dating?
Are they friends?
They filmed a movie together that Zoe Kravitz directed.
So we've seen a lot of social media interaction with them on Instagram.
We've seen them going on walks together.
Now there were pictures of them taking a bike ride together.
He's on the bike.
She's on the back.
You know, hold on to his shoulders.
And it's making people think that this is a potential new couple.
And I will say it is a little bit more controversial.
than I thought. Why is that? I was going to say, how a couple?
Because some people, and I've, and because literally, like I said, I've done nothing this weekend.
I've just been, like, on my phone, there is a corner that believes that she is way too good for him,
and that Channing Tatum stock is plummeting.
Well, I...
I have, I, let me first say this.
I love her.
I think she's obsessed.
I think she's so fucking cool.
And look, she is so fucking cool that I really don't think there is a man that is ever going to be as cool as she is.
Right.
But like, I think Channy Tatum's cool.
Yeah.
I have no problem with Chanty Tatum.
I will say this, though.
I loved Channy Tatum for like a little bit.
She's the man like Channy Tatum is.
Yeah, I mean, step up.
Holy fuck.
Step up, Channing Tatum's like one of the hottest men in the world.
Yeah.
But a long time.
It's been a long, yeah.
So I was going to say, it's been a long time since I felt that way about Channing Tatum.
So you get Channing Tatum at that time in Zoe Kravitz together.
I could see people being like, holy fuck, coolest couple ever.
Now you get Zoe Kravitz who's still really cool, Channing Tatum, who is like a, you know, father now.
now he's so cool as a father it's it's up and down he was like dating uh what's her face um
jesse james jesse james no jesse jesse j jesse j james jesse james i was going to say is james for james
no jesse james james is first of all i think maybe a porn star jesse james and then there's jesse james and there's
james and there's also jesse james and then there's jes jem's ducker which i've been thinking of yet no
Jesse Jay.
Jesse Jay.
He was eating Jesse Jay.
And then,
um,
so it's kind of like,
all right,
cool.
You know,
good for them.
How old do you think they both are?
I don't see if you can guess.
Channing Tatum's got to be like 36 or
42.
No,
he's not 40s,
36.
My guess is Channing Tatum's like 38.
And Zoe Kravitz is like 32.
Zoe Kravitz is 32.
Chaney Tams, 41.
Okay, all right.
That's not far.
That's far off.
Nine years.
Yeah, I guess she could.
Cheney Tadam has had a lot of ups and downs for sure.
And because, like, he has just, he was, he played that role every single movie he was in for so long.
And then he kind of stopped doing that.
And so, like, people's views on him change.
And then the divorce with Jenna Dewan, I think.
That changed people as well because people loved them as a couple so much.
The last time I think Janning Tative really made me feel something was that shower picture.
Remember that Jesse J had him put up on his Instagram?
But even then I didn't really feel something for him.
Yeah.
To be completely honest.
But it's Channing Tadom.
So, of course, you still do.
Yeah.
But this is the thing.
It's no one, I'm going to, no one's going to be cool enough for her.
No one.
Nobody.
somebody's always got to be cooler
even if you've got two really fucking cool people
like Sophia Vergara and Joe Mangonello
however you pronounce his last name
they're both really fucking cool
he's super sexy
he is so sexy
but Sophia Vergara is cooler than he is
even though he is
like a different kind of cool
I don't know I don't really think of Sophia
Vergara is cool to you
no I know what you mean like Zoe Kravitz
is like the definition of cool
Yeah.
Sophia Vergara is just like.
Like what do you think about like Pete Davidson and Zoe Cravitz are like cool.
Like, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, because they're like kind of badass, you mean.
Like, yeah.
Did you say Pete Davidson?
I'm just saying like trying to match up like cool.
He's cool.
I would like to say that Pete Davidson and Zoe Cravitz are nowhere being on the same level.
No, I'm not.
But like he's more cool than Channing Tatum.
maybe it's just a tattoos
I don't know
yeah no no I know
like you put you put
Channing Tatum and Pete Davidson in a room
now all the girls are
flocked to the Pete Davidson
there's Zoe Kravitz and Pete Davidson
are not on the same level as cool at all
she's way cooler but they have
I know what you mean with the vibe like
you know smoking weed and like
they like rock and roll and drugs
and like sex that's what those people scream
who is like a cool guy
Pete Davidson doesn't scream rock a roll
literally the only people that could compete with Zoe Kravitz
are her own family members.
Like her mom,
Lenny Kravitz,
like Jason Mamoa.
I think they're the only
they're all so cool.
Without the level of cool
and she can't be dating any of them.
Because they're not,
here's the thing,
they're not try hard cool.
They're just so naturally cool.
You'll never be as cool as that.
Exactly.
Ever.
They just were born cool.
Exactly.
You can't make that.
It's true.
So I don't know if,
I don't know if Channing Tatum
is getting a little bit of some unfair criticism
because of the pairing of him
and Zoe Kravitz and like we said,
because everybody thinks
like everybody loves her so much.
But it does kind of seem like,
I would say they are dating.
I know that that's...
Wouldn't you say like Harry Styles is cool?
Well, of course.
That would be a sick couple.
Harris-Tales and Zoe Kravitz.
To be honest, they're almost too cool.
I was just going to say,
they're too cool for each other.
They are way too cool for each other.
Way too cool.
for each other. You cannot have two people. You can't have that much cool in one couple. I'm sorry.
That's just it's overwhelming for the rest of the world and for each other. Just having to like compete on
that level. When you're in a couple, you want to comfortably know that like he's cooler than I am.
She's cooler than I am. One of you know, they're so cool. When you're that cool, you don't even
think about being cool. You're just cool. No. But one, that's the thing. That's why they can't date
each other because one person in the relationship has to know that you are cooler or they are cooler.
Right.
That's just how it works.
Somebody's got to bring them back down to earth.
Somebody.
Like,
they're just Harry's house and Zoe Kravs are just floating up to heaven.
There are two butterflies flown in the wind.
Yeah.
Yep.
It's kind of like, well, I guess I'm cool.
Like Travis Barker and Courtney Kardashian are cool, but Travis Barker is making
Courtney Kardashian cooler.
For sure. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly.
Megan Fox is making Machine Gun Kelly cooler.
Yeah.
Hey, maybe this will help Channing Tatum then because it does seem like, I don't know.
I don't know.
But right, you know, objectively speaking, hot couple.
Hot couple.
I think, unfortunately, the public's opinion on Channing Tatum has started to drop just a tad.
Not for me.
We have a great interview with Giannina coming up from Love is Blind.
We're talking about that after the altar special, all of those moments, all the drama.
But first, you know, if you have some drama in your life, you need to work some, work some anger out, punch it out.
Check out the light boxer.
This thing is so cool.
It's an at-home boxing machine, really.
It's like, you know, it has a stand-up.
It has, you know, your little targets.
You punch.
We have one in the office, which is so fun.
And what also makes Lightboxer great is that they have exclusive music licensing
partnerships.
So you get all the best new tracks from Justin Bieber post-mloan the weekend.
And then they also have a team of gamers and DJs program the punch sequences for each song.
So you're, you know, you're punching along the music.
It makes it so much fun.
I mean, we see people using it in the office all the time.
Yeah, sometimes I pass.
I give it a little punch, get my anger out.
Exactly.
And it's just, it's a great workout without even realizing it.
You're having fun.
And then when you finish, you're like, oh, my God, that is a full-blown workout.
Maybe you're feeling a little sore, sore.
Maybe you're feeling a little sore.
You're working out those muscles that you don't normally use.
You also can create a profile that tracks your accuracy and power for each workout so you
can get better.
You can compare your results with friends.
Like I said, we have it in the office so we can compare it with our coworkers to see
what everyone's doing and try to beat your own records.
So you can get your own right now.

All right, everyone, we are here with a very special guest, Giannina Jebeli from Love is Blind on
Netflix.
We have watched the special, you know, Love is Blind after the altar has just been released in the last month.
And it has people big time talking.
Jeannie and I feel like you're at the center of a lot of it.
But how are you doing?
How has the response been to after the altar coming out?
So thank you.
I think it's been, you never know what to expect, right?
So I am feeling very blessed just to have a lot of people in my corner, but also I have like this internal struggle going on because they do care so much about, you know, everyone's feelings involved and things like that just because it's hard to take apart like one piece, you know, and like a whole two year relationship.
But like everything happens for a reason, you know, so I'm like, hmm, what is the odds that that's what comes out, you know?
So how much time had passed between the filming of Love is Blind versus the reunion?
So Love is Blind season one, we filmed it November, 2018, October to November 2018.
And then after the altar, we did it a year and a half after or almost a whole, no, two years after.
So November 2020, we filmed after the altar.
And then now it's August 2021.
So it's been almost a year.
Pretty long time.
It's been, again, like a whole journey.
Yeah, that's, and I remember seeing that,
just even when Love is Blind,
the first season came out.
And it was like everybody checking in on social media
because of course it had been months and months that had passed.
So now you're all watching it back.
How did you feel watching,
watching it, you know, like you just said, end of July
2021, knowing that you had filmed this
months ago. And were there things that you watched that you didn't know
happened? Yeah. So honestly,
I, every time that we film something, I ask
like we've done it like a hundred times, but every time we film something and it
takes, it doesn't come out right away. I'm like, oh, like, come on, like, let's just
get it over with, whatever. But it always
has like its own perfect timing so I wouldn't have handled it as well I don't believe if I didn't have
such a long time in between to fully move on and like digest why certain things happen or why certain
things happen to me and then it's like oh I look back it's I felt awesome because I just wasn't
that person anymore like I saw a lot of sadness in my eyes this time and I'm like wow like that's
like not me anymore thank God.
So I felt really good about it.
But I mean, it's always hard to relive
hard moments like running away for my wedding
or, you know, being, you know, uncomfortable A-F out of party.
But I'm glad I watched it.
This time was a lot easier to watch because I guess
I've just gotten more comfortable with seeing myself.
And then I didn't know that a lot of that happened.
So it was like, oh, double confirmation.
Like, cool.
Now, after watching, do you feel like, like, am I still?
Not are you allowed to get mad, but do I just get remad about all this,
even though months have passed and I'm over it?
Or do you kind of just bury it?
Right.
I mean, I don't think you really have an option.
Right.
But I just have buried it.
And I have, I feel like completely.
at peace with a situation,
you're watching this unfold,
like right in front of you and just like, okay,
like every single emotion came out of me.
So, but as long,
what I did notice is that I just,
I didn't stay mad.
Like, yeah, I got mad, but I'm not mad about it.
Yeah.
You're not still mad.
You got mad at the situation,
but currently right now you are not mad.
I mean, okay, so I'm a person.
I'm kind of like the Hulk, right?
like he's always hang like angry like i'm always angry and maybe i characterize it wrong but
like anger fire whatever like that's passion like that's something that i always have in me and like
little things light it up right so it depends on like what's gonna what's gonna light it up so i'm
always kind of like at that state but i've learned how to control it with things that don't serve me
anymore and things that typically would get me mad or things that like literally just like make me
you know like when your blood like when your stomach drops like I've learned to let those right
right so it's right so I know we didn't even say it but obviously we're you know talking about the
dynamic with Francesca and Damien and watching that all happen now when I'm just trying to
think because it as a viewer it felt so random like we I watch it and was like
how did she end up on this show?
Is she lost?
Like this is not her show.
So it didn't really make a lot of sense to me watching
because I didn't really know the background of Damien and Francho's going to being that friendly.
You know, we all saw those paparazzi photos.
We all thought like that's weird.
Right.
But we didn't really know what was going on.
And then you think, oh, the two shows, maybe they're just hanging out.
Yeah, yeah.
type of thing.
Did you have, like, during this time, like, when you were filming this, did you know to the
extent, like, what Damien and Francesca's relationship was?
Because the way he made it sound was that you knew that they were, that he and Frederica
were good friends.
Right.
So I'm a very, like, trusting person.
And, like, I go with, like, my intuition.
And if you don't want me, then you don't want me.
and I can feel that and okay.
But it was never really to me
that I should be worried about her.
You know what I mean?
Like I'm not the kind of girls
and be like, oh, no, you can't have any girlfriends.
You can't have any friends that are girls.
No matter, you know, if she's on a show called too hot to handle or not,
like I'm securing myself that, like, I honestly don't worry about it.
And if you don't want me anymore, I'm like, okay, bye.
So anyway, I knew that they had a friendly relationship
because they were both managed by the same person.
So the fact that they had like this out of the blue like friendship,
that's actually all very real.
They had a manager that they all went out to dinner.
It was like a group of seven of them.
And they went out to dinner one time and somehow the paparazzi got called.
And then that's where that picture was taken.
But then I don't know.
Somehow the paparazzi got called.
Somehow.
Somehow.
And it's like, I knew that that, like, I didn't know that that had happened.
I found out through the pictures.
And then, again, like, I was just, I don't know if I was just, like, very naive or I don't know.
But then I look back and I see pictures that, like, she would be sitting on his shoulders and things like that.
And it's just like, I don't, no, like, I'm a cool girl.
But, like, at the end of the day, like, I see that their relationship now of, like, how it played out.
And I was just like, oh, wow.
Yeah. There was something going on there.
Did, yeah, I mean, did it feel like a stab in the back almost that he brought her to this event?
Because not only, like, not only are you celebrating the love of the couples that it worked out for,
it was also like marking a time where your relationship with him was blown up in a sense.
Like, it's like, oh, they all got married, but, you know, some of the couples didn't get married.
and he just brings another girl felt very shady.
Yeah, but then it made it easy for me.
Right, right.
You know, it was just like I had,
we'd gone through so much at that point
and, you know, so many, so many child's and tribulations.
And then at that point, I was just like,
you know what?
Like, I've cried enough.
Like, I'm done.
Like, thank you.
It was really just like a moment of like,
I don't need anything else to tell me the universe,
to tell me that like, okay, sweetie, like you tried, move on.
How happy are you that you didn't get married?
I mean, again, everything happens for a reason.
So I'm just really happy that I didn't have to go through like a divorce or anything before the age of 30.
No offense to anyone that has.
Yes.
And like, you don't, I didn't know that I was going to be on the show in the first place.
So then to come out of it and be like, well, I got divorced.
It's not bad.
Whatever.
At least he found love for a little while.
It's just not how you saw your personal journey going.
Yeah.
Which is totally fine.
Now, after this all went down, was that kind of the end of things?
Or did he ever like try and make things better?
Because I think that was kind of the biggest question after everybody watched these episodes.
It's like, well, then what happened after?
Yeah.
So I was hoping that everybody would get the answer out of it so that I could just
Everything would quiet down everything that I put up, no matter how hard I work on the project or whatever
It's always like, how's Damien?
Where's Damien?
So it's like a woman is worth more than the person she was dating, number one.
But me and him kept talking after that because same thing.
Like Love is Blind season one.
We were like, okay, well, let's not have like the cameras.
You know, everything.
Like, let's just separate ourselves from that.
And, yeah, he definitely tried, but we were just tapped.
There's just no one.
Yeah.
It was a very long, it was a very drawn-out breakup.
Yeah, yeah.
But I'd recommend.
Do you think that the producers or people behind the scenes had to say in Francesca coming
because I feel like it's crazy that he would just bring her himself?
Right. Well, as far as like the way that he brought her and the way that he treated me when we were at that party and like no one tells you to greet them like, hey, beautiful.
Like, you know, so it's just I, I'm a very, I'm very good at separating myself.
You know, I like to see things objectively, even though like, let's say like I'm completely in turmoil.
I have to separate myself in tuition.
And those are the things that stood out to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
That's all.
Right.
That's very fair.
Very fair.
So it was a, there was also so many other things going on with, you know, the other
couples and things like that.
I think Jessica has still stayed in the mix a little bit.
What did you guys all think about Mark not showing up?
because I think everybody was kind of waiting for some big moment that we didn't get.
Right.
So I'm not close to Mark.
I wish I could, I don't know.
I just don't want to talk about him on like his behalf of why he didn't show up.
I know that he was looking or he was expecting.
And they had their baby in April, super happy for them.
But there's so much going on around Mark.
Like, God bless him.
So if you wanted to, you know, take his family out of the equities,
and like have a safe and happy pregnancy for his fiance then like good i'm glad that that
possibly is a sign of growth right from all this shit that we're you know that it's been
we do film this in years you know and in years time so it's like i hope that that that he saw it as a way
of okay i'm growing from the situation i don't need to put myself in there but i do think that um
I don't know.
He left a blood trail.
So it's like, wouldn't you want to go ahead and defend yourself?
Wouldn't you want to go ahead and kind of like.
And these ladies didn't really get any.
He's just hoping it all disappears.
Yeah, the ladies didn't really get any closure, which is very hard.
Yeah.
And that's why it's like, okay, well, this also happened in a very public setting.
So I get it.
You don't want to deal with that anymore.
But how about you just close a chapter for good for once and for all?
and then like keep going about your day.
But this is something that regardless, it's out there.
Like it's like an open wound down in the universe.
Like I don't like to relive this stuff.
But like I don't want to go back into the, you know, wedding.
But I had to close a chapter.
Like I'd have to go back.
Right.
And you probably feel better now that you've closed it.
Mark is probably still thinking about this every day.
If he would just close it, he'd probably feel a lot better.
Well, I think as far as like closing the chocker,
chapter on his relationship, like past relationships, I think that that's happened. But I feel like
there's another part where it's like a sense of growth. And I don't want to say like the word,
morality and also like ethically, like you want to be able to say, okay, I have been able to grow from
these parts of my life. Like I'm good with my relationships. I don't need to talk to my accident.
I don't need to do this. But maybe as, you know, a person that wants to grow morally and ethically,
like this is something I need to do. So I think there's a different.
Right. Who are you close with still, you know, with this cast?
Because I think what honestly was surprising to me too, which I don't know why it was surprising,
but watching after the altar, I was like, wow, it really does seem like a lot of the cast,
like stayed in touch and our friends and talk about their lives.
So who are you the closest with now?
Um, so I kind of, I don't know, I didn't become super, super close with anybody because I guess
if you got married, you got, you threw yourself into your partner, right? That became your friend,
especially after going through something so crazy as a pods and then a whole ass pandemic hits.
So with me, like, Damien was my closest person. He was my best friend. He was a person that's
I'm most in touch with.
As far as the girls, like, we DM a good bit.
Like, we're definitely, like, still on top of just what everyone else is doing.
I really like Jessica.
I think we have a very, like, good friendship going on.
But as far as, like, friendships, I don't know.
I'm a really big loner, you guys.
Like, I don't, like, I, it's, I've had the same group of friends for a very long time.
I haven't.
I, it takes a lot for me to be like, okay, well.
Um, no, I can make new friends.
I don't know what I'm trying to say.
No, we're not judging you.
You have your group, but you're not dying to get close with anybody else.
Well, if you, yeah, but if we can, then we will.
But I guess like the opportunities, like never really, like, came out because when me and
Damien would hang out with, like, the whole group, it would also be a little, little awkward just
because some people didn't get engaged.
Some people, you know, dated other people.
So we didn't really, like, hang out so, so much.
Whenever we do, it's great.
Like, I love everybody.
Like, I love me.
If you had to, if you had to pick a couple to third wheel with between Lauren and Cameron and Amber and Barnett, who do you pick?
I want to say Amber and Barnett because we, I love to drink.
And I feel like they were just to be a riot.
And we have, actually, we've had double dates before.
and they were always fun
so we think
yeah in Atlanta and stuff
yeah they're a good time I haven't hung out with
Lauren and Cameron
just us too so maybe that should be my answer
but I don't have a boyfriend
so yeah
I was gonna go to be a whole thing
I was saying I'm picking to be a third wheel
because Lauren and
Lauren and Cameron
I think everybody
feels like whoa that this process
really really worked for them
and of course Amber and
and Barnett as well
but the drama still sticks with Amber and Barnett a little bit
when Lauren and Cameron seem to not have a problem at all.
Like it's like everybody's there celebrating their, you know,
anniversary and everything, but it's like they're so happy.
What else is there to say about them?
Yeah.
Exactly.
It's so nice.
But I mean, this show has been so huge and you have blown up so much like afterwards.
How have you kind of dealt with all that?
because like you said, you're constantly asked about Damien and things like that.
But you have almost like 2 million Instagram followers.
It's a big deal and that's a lot to handle.
How do you kind of deal with all of that now?
So when it first, when people first started noticing,
it was like this really crazy roller coaster slash Truman show experience.
Like out of nowhere, the show that I,
forgot I did at some point, comes out.
And then everybody knows about this relationship that I've been keeping secret for the two years.
And then I can finally talk about it.
And then the world shuts down.
And I'm like thrown into this corner.
And then it turns out that half the things that I typically, because I'm very
spoken, you know, half the things that I, you know, I'm typically comfortable doing,
I'm getting yelled out for too.
So it was,
it was a very interesting time to like become famous because you,
people know who you are,
but then you can't do anything about it.
And also you're,
you're taken from a place of comfort
into a place of like being in the public eye.
And either it was a time where if you said the completely wrong thing,
you got canceled and it would be gone.
Right. Right.
You know,
so it was a very, very interesting time.
And,
I think I handled it really well, honestly, because I'd also worked with, first of all, I ate shit like the year that, the couple of years before it came out.
So I was like, all right, I'm humbled to the bone.
Like, God, I get it.
Like, like, you're not above anything.
Nothing's above you.
Like, all right.
So, again, like, I feel like it came at a really good time because it can definitely take you from one place to the next.
And it was just really sweet.
I really didn't think that anybody was going to like anything that came out of my mouth because that was such a crazy place.
And same thing here.
I thought, you know, like, great.
I'm, you know, yelling again and what's going on with me again.
And so, again, it's been really great just to see that I'm accepted just for, you know, going with like my heart and my gut.
and if people think that that's inspirational and that, you know, Latin women have some sort of representation out there, which just, like, makes me, like, kind of, like, light up.
Because I never saw anyone really look like me either.
Except I feel like Snookie.
Yeah.
Snook was the closest thing I got.
So it's been great.
No long story short.
It's been, it's been a, again, like a creepy.
Snokey does comment on your Instagrams all the time.
I do, I did see that.
Which is crazy full, like, full circle.
moment because I used to
watch all the time in high school
and we had like this whole thing in high school
about them and the Jersey Shore. And now
that it's back yet and same thing with
in a cliche like the first
because pop culture like made
such an impact on me because I came from a different
country. So I remember these things
very vividly like things that taught
me how to speak English or like expressions
like the newlyweds
with Jessica Simpson. Oh my gosh.
The cliche is a host
of my show.
And then, like, random things like that.
It's very, very weird.
It all comes together.
No, definitely.
But it's been cool.
And I was very happy that we got to see this reunion of sorts
and to see what everybody was up to because that first season, like you said,
blew up so much.
And then we went into a pandemic.
So it was like that show took on a life of its own.
And then we kind of were like, what happened?
to everybody.
Where are they now?
And we, you know, we got all, no, we got all of our, we got all of our answers.
And it's been great to see everybody's journey.
What are you up to now?
What's going on?
Are you back in the dating game?
So yes, definitely back in the dating game, dating game.
I got over it, like the weirdness of dating after being in a relationship for a long time.
And then also the fear of like, do you know about me before I know about you?
And also like, what's your deal?
I got over that pretty quickly, which was great.
It's still there.
But I guess like my radar is like for finds now.
And also like men are funny.
It is really funny.
And being back in the dating world with like DMs and like this and that.
I don't, I'm very old school.
Like, that's why I really, like, love is blind in that sense because I wasn't going to,
I was going to make my own choice.
Like, it was going to be my choice at the end of the day.
I feel like now things are, like, a little bit more premeditated.
So basically, I just want fate to, like, come in, be like, this is it.
And then now, I mean, I lived in Atlanta for six years.
It was probably the best thing I've ever done.
actually the best thing I ever done.
I moved for an old,
for an ex-boyfriend.
And like I followed my heart.
And then I didn't want to ever leave the city
because I didn't find what I was looking for it, I guess.
And then I got the show.
And now after six years, I was like, you know what?
Like, I think, I think it's time for me to close the chapter.
Maybe I'll be back.
But I think the past year with one, a pandemic,
and then two finally, like,
I guess coming into myself,
I'm feeling like I don't have anything to hide after three years, right?
That's so close to me.
I really just want to embrace that and finally be able to just, like, speak my truth.
And I've been traveling for the past couple of months.
So I'm kind of living, I'm definitely living nomad life.
I've moved out, put myself in storage, and I'm just traveling as much as I can't.
That sounds like fun.
Seriously.
Yeah. It's been great.
That is great.
And we're so happy for you.
And this journey you've been on and everything.
that's been happening with this show, I really feel like you have come out on the other side
of all this. And it's been great speaking with you. And we are excited to see what you do next.
If you guys haven't watched Love is Blind after the Alter yet, you can watch it on Netflix
or even the first season, I guess, if you haven't watched, you can still tune in and watch it.
And then, Jeannina, where can everybody follow you?
So you guys can follow me on Instagram and TikTok with my name.
name Gianina Jeanne, J-E-B-E-L-I-N-N-I-N-A, G-I-B-E-E-L-I.

Yeah, yeah.
But it flows.
It does.
It does.
Thank you.
