You might have to lower the volume of that one.
Starting point is 00:00:32 It will be right in everybody's years. It's a good way to start Friday. Yeah, it's a good way to wake everybody up, ready for the week. weekend. It's a great day. It's a great week. I've been up since the crack of freaking dawn today because I woke up at like 6.30. I couldn't fall back asleep and I just got my day started instead of laying in bed like I usually would. Yeah. Because I don't have to get up that early, thankfully. I got up and I just started on with my day. I got ready. I made breakfast. I was up Adam. Proud of you. That sounds
Starting point is 00:01:06 lovely. It was lovely. 630 is still a little too early for me. I know there's plenty of people and I'm sure the listeners are up early, you got things to do. I am not a morning person. I am usually not either, so I took advantage of that
Starting point is 00:01:22 today. The feeling of, wow, I don't want to go back to sleep. Why not just get out of bed? And I hope that inspires some of you today. Anyways, big things this week, all right? Lots of Lots of chatter, lots of things going on. We may or may not be going to the finale of The Bachelor on Monday.
Starting point is 00:01:42 That is still in the works. By the time you listen to this, we'll know. Hopefully. Hopefully. We'll know if we're going or not. But we're working on that. And besides that, how has everybody else's day going? Pretty good.
Starting point is 00:01:56 I've had a, this felt like a really long week, but a good week. I think it's coming off of last week. So busy. This week was way calmer. So in last week it's like, go, go, go. Next thing, next thing. This has just been more of a slow, slow week. Like my Tuesday felt like a Thursday.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Oh. But now we're at the end of the week. We're at the end of the week. And we are ending our week in the best way possible with Duncan. You guys know that we love Duncan. Duncan is the presenting sponsor of Chicks in the Office. And we are so excited to share with you. guys a great deal if you get a medium or large coffee you can get one dollar donut i cannot refrain
Starting point is 00:02:38 and i eat the donuts before we start the show because they're just too dang good yeah glazed donut right in front of my face one of my favorites chocolate icing donut pink used to be my favorite when i was a kid i still love it but i've swayed to chocolate frosted um i actually i as a kid i was a chocolate glazed chocolate glaze chocolate is really interesting chocolate always chocolate glazed and i don't discriminate against any of my donuts so i'll have them all um But there's great deals going on and as well as breakfast deals. Absolutely. You can do the $1.

So make sure you are having your Dunkin and enjoying your meal. with it, whatever it is a donut or maybe
Starting point is 00:03:35 something savory, they have it all. You have caused absolute pandemonium in Bachelor Nation. The Bachelor Nation is lit on fire and you threw the, you poured the gasoline and then threw the match and you've just been laughing.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It is quite literally the gif of he fledger as the Joker when he leaves the hospital and he lights it on fire and he just walks away and he's like, what do? And you guys warn me about this? You were like, You don't realize Rhea how seriously they take it. I didn't realize how seriously they take it.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I still don't care. I still find it to be humorous. I still find it to be entertaining. And that is going to cause people to despise me. And I really don't care about that. Because I have made it very clear that I don't take the bachelor too seriously. And that's probably why I'm being very laxadaisy is the word. Lachadaisical.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Lacksadaisy is a short term. the short for lackadaisical? You never heard someone say laxie daisy? Never. Look it up. Never. Because I'm telling you that's a thing. Sarah, can you look that up?
Starting point is 00:04:42 I've never. If you just said that, I wouldn't like second guess it. I've never. Laxadaisal. Yeah. It's just being like, I'm in laxadaisical. La de da. La de da.
Starting point is 00:04:55 That's how I've been treating this is latida. I know this information. Now, it has gotten the Bachelor's spoil, like reality Steve is apparently not how I didn't listen to the podcast. I was trying to but like I was trying to skim to find it
Starting point is 00:05:12 and that I got frustrated and I just was like all right whatever. He's like staying your lane. Yeah, he's like, he thinks reality Ria's coming through and I can promise. Yeah, I can promise I do not want to be the spoiler girl. You don't want to be in the spoiler game. I don't want to be in the spoiler game. I realize I have entered the spoiler game at my own risk and I'm not complaining.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I have this information that everybody wants. Everybody wants this information. And I will agree with the people that are getting mad at me. They're like, there's nothing more annoying when somebody says I have information and I can't share it. I'm not sharing it, not because I am getting joy out of not sharing it. I would love to share it with the world. I've been trying to tell you for a week. I've been trying to tell Trent and Kelly for a week.
Starting point is 00:05:58 You guys have been shushing me off. Yeah. Some chicks in the office listeners want to hear it. Some don't. I also don't want to piss off ABC. We want to go to the finale. We have now... I've just been told, let's hold off until Monday. Yeah, that checks out because if they want to invite us to the finale, they don't want Ria potentially spoiling your show. A massive, something massive to have... My understanding is like Monday's show, Monday's Chixney Office show.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Like, if you want to talk about it on Monday show, which would still come out before the bathroom. Right. We'll see. But as of now, I can't tell this information. I've just, and I did not know, listen, I tweeted yesterday about this information. To be clearly, I'm at the point where I'm going to crack because now it's driving me and not necessarily driving me insane of not knowing. It's just like, now I'm just getting annoyed. Like I'm just like, I know, I'm being very annoying.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I'm very aware. I'm being obnoxious. I'm being annoying. I'm, you know, loving that people are going crazy over this. If I was in their position, I would not be loving me. So I get it. I tweeted about this information yesterday, which is then why Robert Mills reached out
Starting point is 00:07:12 and was like, can we get you guys come in the finale? So he is aware that I have this information that I am not sharing and invited us to the finale. And now I don't want to ruin Fran, Kelly, and Trent. Chances of going to the finale. All right, let's hear what the spoiler is. when they are dying to get to imagine Jesse Palmer goes
Starting point is 00:07:29 takes the microphone and he just goes All right we have somebody in the audience With some important information You break it Please stand up and tell us all what you've heard And then they just booing me and tell me it's wrong There's a Trent Kelly myself We're on the same page where if this does happen
Starting point is 00:07:46 And what you know is addressed during the live after show We want a authentic real In the moment potentially on camera reaction to what it is. So we are holding out even though it is fucking ridiculous. And so if
Starting point is 00:08:05 the finale, if we'd never got invited to the finale, if Robert Mills never stepped in. Yeah, you would have said it already. I think this is awesome strategy by him to not get it out. I mean, this is really just like selfishly for the sake of ourselves and this show now we're not. I'm being incredibly selfish now.
Starting point is 00:08:23 This is now turned into a business opportunity. I can't I can't say it now Straight up I can't say it now Everybody wants to go to the finale It's a really cool experience Mills knows I have this information It's not, it's not like ABCS
Starting point is 00:08:38 Jed talks I am now dead But they haven't said to me Hey you don't say it I am just out of the kindness of my heart We're not saying it For the sake of They were nice enough to invite us
Starting point is 00:08:51 I don't want to be an asshole And spoil the show Yeah I do understand that is incredibly annoying now I am fully aware. I am very annoying. And everyone will hate me. And I can live with that.
Starting point is 00:09:04 T-minus three days, you know. Everyone can hold on a little bit longer. This may not even be true. This might not even be true. Which, to be-com. If this isn't true, I want you the next tricks in the office episode. You have to sit in this corner. I'm going to get you a dunce cap.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Yeah. You're going to do the whole episode. I need a different punishment than that but I will take a punishment Okay, yeah Come up with, come up If there's no spoiler There's no spoiler
Starting point is 00:09:34 If what I, because no one knows it If that does not happen Or something around that effect Does not happen You can come up with the punishment With Kelly and Trent And whatever And the fans can vote
Starting point is 00:09:45 On what the punishment is And I will take the punishment And I apologize And I am sorry that I can't give the information I am sorry I thought I was gonna tell it On the podcast The plan
Starting point is 00:09:55 was that I was going to tell it on the podcast. Fran was going to leave the room and I was going to say it and then it was going to be like, spoiler, spoiler, spoiler. We were posted on, checks in the office, Instagram, major spoiler alert, and I would end up telling you guys what the information is.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Now that the finale's in the mix, I can't ruin that for my peers and myself. And so I apologize, I am sorry. You heard it from me. You heard it from my mouth. I am sorry. It will be fun to see if it's true.
Starting point is 00:10:22 It will be fun to see. I will say this. I have done digging. I have messaged, I will say this This is not giving anything away I have messaged the person Who
Starting point is 00:10:37 This is mainly about Yes I was going to say maybe don't Say the second part Because people could do Digging Yeah, yeah yeah Don't give any hints
Starting point is 00:10:49 All right I won't say anything else You know Whoever I messaged Do not respond Yeah So So interpret that however you want to interpret it. And now
Starting point is 00:11:00 we're all, guys, if you're in the boat with me, you don't want to be spoiled. It's been a tough few days. And we will get through this. We will make it to Monday. You will make it. I promise you guys will make it to Monday. We will make it to Monday. I wish I wasn't this monster that I am now. And
Starting point is 00:11:18 I've been low-key fighting with the person who sent this to me because I'm like, are you trolling me? Yeah. I'm message this person 7.30 a.m. this morning because Rachel Kirkconnell DM me. And she was like what is happening? And I told her and she was like
Starting point is 00:11:33 they have to be trolling you and I was like no, I really I don't think so. And I messes the person I said are you trolling me? And she's like why would I be trolled? And I've done I've looked at this girl. She seems like a very sweet person.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I don't think you ask, why me? Why did you give this information to me? Yeah. Why me? You've put such a burden on me. Yeah, you picked the wrong. The girl who sent this DM, you picked the wrong person. You picked the wrong person. Wrong person.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Don't go sending it to reality Steve, though, because I like that he's squirming. I like that he's squirmy Steve right now. Oh, man. He's like, I don't know what it is. He's all upset. He's going to be, although whatever, he'll be. He lost out on a scoop of the century. He'll be fucking thrilled if this just doesn't happen, though.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Like, he'll be sitting on his laptop, typing up his, his reports, and That chick over at barstool, she knows nothing. And you know what? That's fine because he is the spoiler king. He knows what he's doing. I am shocked he doesn't have this information, which is why. Which honestly makes me nervous. It makes me very nervous that he wouldn't have it and you would.
Starting point is 00:12:44 It's really what it comes down to. Makes me very nervous that it has not been sent to him. It's crazy. Everything is sent to him. Everything is sent to him. is sent to him. Why am I? I don't know. Why, God? Why have you trusted this upon me? Anyways, I understand how annoying this whole 20 minutes has been. Yeah. I understand I'm annoying obnoxious. Everybody wants me to fall off the face of the earth. I get it, okay? But you are
Starting point is 00:13:13 enjoying yourself. But goddamn, am I having a good time? You are enjoying yourself. You know? It's like the devil and the angel on one shoulder. You're you, you are having a good time. You are having a good time. You are major power trip. I really am. It's a power trip. But not necessarily. It is a power trip. Are you nuts?
Starting point is 00:13:32 The way you're like, I got everybody DM and me. They want to know. I'm the only one that knows. I got the power to tell them or not tell them. I literally called my parents yesterday and I was like, you guys don't understand. And my dad was like, oh, you got to get the credit. And I was like, Dad, tell me about it. But I also, part of me, I hope people do know part of me is joking.
Starting point is 00:13:52 And that's where the problem comes is, is that I, I like to laugh and joke around about things that people take seriously. And I know that people take this seriously. And it is getting on people's nerves because I am making a big, fat joke about it. All in all, best case scenario would be, I'm wrong. And everyone can live happily ever after that I have to do a deal with the punishment. Well, I'll be completely honest. I think best case scenario is you're right.
Starting point is 00:14:16 But not, I haven't been able to share the information. No, no. Best case scenario is this. this is the thing everyone knows how much you hype this up you know what we should do if something crazy happens
Starting point is 00:14:30 during the live after show everyone is going to say that is what Ria knew like no one's going to second guess that that wasn't the information we should film you like holding up the newspaper today with the date you saying what it is
Starting point is 00:14:42 and hold that just to be like see she knew you know what I'm saying just to have that's actually what I do because otherwise people would be like whatever happens you'll be like oh yeah of course you knew Yeah, just, yeah, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:14:54 If they don't believe me, I don't even care. I'm telling you, I know something fucking big. If it does happen, I think you don't, don't worry, I think you will get credit. It's just turned into a funny thing now and it's a lot of pressure. I know. I think these aviators just make us look 10 times cooler already. I agree with you. Just from throwing them on.
Starting point is 00:15:22 We know the aviators are a classic, classic style. My personal favorite style of any sunglasses. But you know how when you have aviators and the nose thing, like it gets stuck in your hair and then you pull it off and messes up your hair. It's really just a mess. Well, now Shady Rays has new tangle-free aviators. So now you can get the classic aviator look without the messy hair because of their custom patent-pending nosepiece that they designed specifically to avoid tangling. Yes, if you're watching on YouTube, you can see how easy it is to take on. and off so you can have the same classic aviator and be able to put them on your head with no problem.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I have a, this is a good test, I have a slicked back hairstyle going right now. So normally you put these on the top of your head, you'd have to pull them off and it would ruin your ponytail sale completely. I'm good to go. Donzo. I'm absolutely good to go. So Shady Ray's tangle-free aviators are one of their hottest sunglasses right now, and they've already sold out multiple times.

I'm just going to shut the fuck up because I know that's what people want. I'm just going to shut my dirty little hamster mouth. That's Mike the situation would say.
Starting point is 00:17:18 I've got myself into some hairy situations in the past week. And this is why we do the job. and everyone's focused on this Barso drama and I'm over here sweating out. Bachelor nation. You're deep in Bachelor nation. I have, I haven't even been focused.

Starting point is 00:18:33 So there's different names. I call that cow gel. Okay. Yeah. I don't really, I could be wrong. I don't know. Anyway, you just had a gel manicure. Anyway, I usually have.
Starting point is 00:18:44 It took you an hour to take it off. I usually have a specific manicure that I get, okay? For two years now I have gotten the same manicure. Last time I went to go get my nails done. They told me they had time. for me. I showed up. Little Missy says she doesn't have time for me anymore. So I say, you have time to do anything? You got to have time to do anything on these nails? Yeah. Any color whatsoever. She's like, we could do a regular gel manicure, but we can't do the one that you want, the one that you've been
Starting point is 00:19:10 getting for two years straight now. Yep. So, freaking, now I haven't been going to this specific place for two years. I want that. I just like this, I can't, I need the name of it. Whatever. So, I get It's just unnecessary background To the fact that you were just All the people need to know Is that you took off your gel manicure I was soaking my fingers in acetone For a long time
Starting point is 00:19:36 In this tiny room And now I'm sweating profusely I'm high I started coughing I felt like I was swallowing it I'm high off acetone I'm sweating I'm a monster I'm a monster to the bachelor nation
Starting point is 00:19:50 I just thought no one going to turn our volume down I'm going to I'm a menace to society and you got nasty fucking nails nasty fucking fingernails and I am disgusting I am a disgusting human being
Starting point is 00:20:05 I am gross in my own skin right now I'm disgusted I'm sweating my legs are dry I have the driest legs you've ever seen right now you're scaly I'm scaly
Starting point is 00:20:22 I didn't moisturize after my shower this morning and now I'm fucking dry here I'm dry there I'm dry everywhere. I did put moisturizer on. Okay. Got you beat there.
Starting point is 00:20:34 All right. Let's fucking talk about some topics. Let's get into the show, babes. Yeah. Let's do it. I'm losing my mind. And now I have a cold. Yeah, we're back.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I know. I'm telling you. Astic Jones. Yeah, Asit Jones just go into our brains. Anyways. Let's talk about some topics. I can't believe we're about to like go. Not weekly watching.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Watch report, but like, more serious. One more serious topic. I'm high off of nail polish. Okay. This is like when you were a kid and you like were around glue or like Sharpies or the and you're like, oh, I'm high with your friends. Anyways. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Weekly watch report. TikTok, maybe banned. Yeah. MGK and Megan Fox break. And for the next. 19th time in a row. Vanderpump update. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:32 So let's get into it. Oh, and we have one more thing. I love how I forget one more thing because it's funny because it's funny because it's one more thing. I will say I want to, I will like to issue an apology to our listeners on the fact that, God, it has been a slow last couple of weeks in the pop culture world. We were just having a conversation with Devin about this, that there's just nothing. Vanderpump has taken over everything. It's the only, I thought like by now it would kind of die down, but there hasn't been anything. crazy or newer that I was just about to say
Starting point is 00:22:02 there hasn't been anything crazier or new that has come up and so we're just cycling through it and Devin was joking that there's just nothing going on and Devin sent us a tweet of a headline that reads Chris Martin revealed in a recent podcast that Beyonce revealed to him her knee hurts her from performing breaking news Beyonce her knee bothers her sometimes Devin just text me and said it's absolutely insane I think you need to write the spoiler in an envelope and then open it on cutting stems.
Starting point is 00:22:35 I said that's a great idea. That is a good idea. We should write it now. I should write it on this piece of paper. Well, wait until we finish. Well, I want to do it live. I know, but. So people know that it's happening.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Then I got to close my eyes. You don't just don't peek. Cheater. I can't not peek. I can't not peek. I'm going to take the notebook. And I can't not peek. I'm going to write it live.
Starting point is 00:22:59 So people know the day and time in which this is being written. How are we going to fill this dead air time? Should I start talking about something? It is Thursday? Because you can't read it out loud. Oh yeah, I can't read it out loud. Just cut. Just cut it.
Starting point is 00:23:12 All right. I'm done. Bachelor, spoiler, 321 p.m. Thursday, March 23rd. Fold it up. I'm handing it off to Sarah, who has been told the information already. We're going to put in an envelope and we will bring that to cutting stems. I will take pictures of those. it on the plane.
Starting point is 00:23:30 It don't make its way. I would also like to say it, Flat Stanley. It is the new Flat Stanley. I would also like to say, and this has nothing to do with, like, what the spoiler is, because it's public. But all three top, all three final ladies posted the same Instagram at like the same time, all three of them with the same picture. So take that as you will.
Starting point is 00:23:52 But let's do the weekly watch report. Let's get into the weekly watch report.

He thought he got you. Yeah, he was like, I just found that out. I watched the first episode of How I Met Your Father and something I've never watched.
Starting point is 00:25:22 D. Yeah. I was just about to say, fun fact, when my friends from college is a writer on that show. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Cool. Some of the worst jokes I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yeah. I was going to say, Herd is not that funny It was... Not the only writer I'm sure her episode was the better one Yeah very cool job I'm kidding

Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah yeah yeah And I watched one episode Why don't you watch Appet Elementary Excuse me Okay okay okay Excuse me Did I finish my weekly watchboard Did I finish my weekly watch a board
Starting point is 00:26:04 I don't know how many sitcoms you tried out this week tried a few. Okay. That leads me to Abed out of Adventure. Yeah. Three episodes.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Okay. Liked it a lot better than how I met your father. I'll tell you that much. Yeah. There was one joke in the first episode How I Met Your Father that
Starting point is 00:26:19 that left me pretty floored. Wait, were you at How I Met Your Mother fan? One of my parents watched when I was younger, I would watch with them. I never watched him getting mad. I liked it. I did. I only watched it one time
Starting point is 00:26:34 all the way through like a binge. because I had never seen it. I did kind of the situation where, like, people don't watch something, and then they know the final season is coming, so they binge. That's what I did with How I Met Your Mother. Like, I didn't watch, but I binged all of it so that I could watch the final season when it was on TV. The jokes were a lot raunchier and funnier and how I met your mother. That seems to be the case for a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:26:57 How I met your father. I'm trying to think of the one... Oh, oh, Hillary Duff was like... I do love Hillary Duff. No, and I love Hillary Duff too, but... Let me tell you. She was like, this was right in the beginning of the episode, too. I was surprised that it even got a second season.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Her phone battery was dead and she was getting in the car and she was like, I need to charge my phone. It's dying. Feed me! And I was like, oh, no. It sounds like a sound effect you would make. I know. Feed me. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:27:29 In a sitcom setting, didn't it. Casual conversation. that just comes out I'm not trying to get like the whole room to erupt I did have that thought I did have that thought that watch comes like that's
Starting point is 00:27:45 definitely that is actually her goal anytime she says anything is to get the whole room to erupt if you did that and no one said anything let me tell you I had that exact thought after I watched that and made fun of that joke I was like that is something I would say
Starting point is 00:28:00 but anyways you're talking about how funny it is What did you think of Abbott Elementary? Okay, so how am I your father gets a D? Yeah. I will never watch that show ever again. Abid Elementary, I'm going to give. I liked it.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I didn't love it. I'm still only three episodes deep. I imagine it gets funnier and better as the characters develop. I am a big proponent of, especially for sitcoms. Like dramas, I don't get the argument as much when there's like eight episodes in a show. but for a sitcom that's like on TV they have so many episodes that it is like the first
Starting point is 00:28:39 few are always kind of a you gotta get through them and maybe how I met your father's like that but you have to get your footing like they're trying to get that's that's what everyone always says like about parks and rack like Elaine was yeah exactly like it's like
Starting point is 00:28:53 oh those first episodes like you people like just stay with it because it gets really funny I do feel that Abbott Elementary I hope you continue to watch I will I watch three episodes so I definitely liked it better than how I met your father. Grading wise, grading wise.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Now these are just the first three episodes and so I'm torn doing a C plus and a B minus. I feel like if you give it a B minus you're giving it based on future like hopes, you know. That is why I would be giving it a B minus. But maybe if I continue to watch it then I can come back with a higher score.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Be honest. You got to go with what you're... I'm going to give it a C plus. Because I wasn't c-c. I wasn't laughing really. I just was watching it for the sake of like, this is comfortable. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:38 I feel comfortable watching this. Yep. And then I watched a Noah Ives recommendation, which we both watched. Noah Ives, Noah Ives, this song, this song,
Starting point is 00:29:50 this show is every, is being talked about a lot right now. I did watch the first day came out. I've only seen it from Noah. I'm not going to be honest. I've only heard about it from you. And I, the past two nights
Starting point is 00:30:01 before last night, I was saying Marty, I need to watch you things. Did you know anything about it before going in? A little bit. Did you watch the trailer? Because the trailer fucking confused me. I didn't watch the trailer. All I knew is I saw a TikTok being like,
Starting point is 00:30:15 oh, there's a new show coming out tomorrow with Billy Elish is in it. And I'm like, oh, okay. I was like, I have to watch new stuff or else I'm going to get in trouble. I'm going to get to tension. Like, I have to mix in some new things here. So let's just try a couple things. And if they're bad, it'll be funny to talk about. then last night I was like what do we watch what do we watch I said oh clicked prime saw it
Starting point is 00:30:38 passed I said swarm no has been talked about this show turn it on we didn't talk for the first 20 minutes um one of the weirdest if not the weirdest show I have ever watched I only watched one episode I don't think I will continue I am genuinely freaked out it gave me a massive amount of anxiety. I was incredibly uncomfortable and uneasy throughout the entire episode. And so for that reason, I'm out. I second a lot of what you're saying. I understand how it could be a great show. It's just not for me. Yeah. It really freaked me out a lot, especially the ending of the first episode, which I won't spoil if you're planning on watching. Just really didn't sit right with me, very uneasy and I am going to give it
Starting point is 00:31:32 I'm going to give it a D as well It is a Donald Glover creation. I'm going to give it a D as well Um freaked me out I gave me Which which honestly
Starting point is 00:31:51 Symbolism goes to It is but violent Perils creepy dark I mean I will The actress that plays Drey is phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:32:06 She is really fucking good because she is terrified. She's really good. She's really good. The acting is really good. That's why I can see how it's a great, right. It's a, people may think it's a great show. Right. Just not for me. I do not feel comfortable. It was late at night and I almost wish I watched it in the day at times. I watched it alone and was like, oh, I would never watch it alone.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I'm so happy I put it on while Marty was And we didn't speak for 20 minutes. And I was like, what the fuck is this show? And he was like, thank God you just said that because I've been sitting here the whole time wondering why you were like, we need to watch this show. He's like, I have never seen anything like this. Some background on the show, like Noah said, it was co-made by Donald Glover. But it's like a take on Stan culture where the celebrity, Naja, is basically Beyonce.
Starting point is 00:33:02 and Dre is this massive fan and it goes in a direction you don't really think it's gonna go in Yeah, if I didn't see the description that said like murder in the description
Starting point is 00:33:15 I'd have been so stunned at the like Yeah, I mean I missed that I did watch the trailer so I knew clearly that shit got violent I saw murder sex violence music and I thought yes You know like that's That sold me when I read the description
Starting point is 00:33:31 Listen, the first episode I had to say, I was like, I don't know, I powered, like, I'll talk about it, but like, I thought it was. But this is like what I'm saying when, you know, there's a show that is seven episodes. I think it's eight, yeah, seven or eight episodes. And they're like 30 minutes. They're not long. They're like short episodes. Yeah, they're pretty short. If you have to power, like, if you have to power through half.
Starting point is 00:34:01 of a season for that. Yeah. Like how, you're, you know. Power through, it's like, yeah. Like, if you're not into violence,
Starting point is 00:34:07 not for you. I watched two. I watched the first and the second. And my favorite was the seventh and it's like, I don't want to give anything away. But like, it's cool. And like,
Starting point is 00:34:20 it is a extremely well-made show. Did you guys ever watch Atlanta? The acting is phenomenal. Uh, a little, but not consistently. And, like,
Starting point is 00:34:31 I It was just It was just Freaky It freaked me out Yeah I Yeah
Starting point is 00:34:39 I just Do you have anything else Um No Okay I was all new stuff Yeah that was new stuff I will give my grade
Starting point is 00:34:48 For Stormman Oh I watched I rewatched EasyA Oh is it Is it because I said it The other day It's no on Netflix The amount of times
Starting point is 00:34:54 That you made The set of EasyA And I said I watched that yesterday No no No no No no I know
Starting point is 00:35:00 Every time you said the E-A thing, I said, oh, I just watched it. She watched it before you said that. No one acknowledged it. Anyways, so I'm saying it now. I re-watch E-ZA. I'm not going to grade it. That movie always hits.
Starting point is 00:35:13 You're not going to grade it? What does E-ZA get, not an A? It gets an easy. More like an easy B? An easy B. It probably gets a C for me. Damn. I like EZE.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I would give it in the B. I like it. I like it. I like it. But it's, after re-watching it, I kind of was like, more of a C. I liked it. more when it first came out
Starting point is 00:35:32 Swarm for me this is where the this is where the grading is hard because it's like is it my personal am I am I grading on my personal feelings or am I putting my critics hat on because putting my critics hat on
Starting point is 00:35:50 it's a good show like I get it and it's probably it probably has what do you think it has on raw and tomatoes 98 right? No I don't think so it's like I don't think it's that High. 84. It's an 84. It's at 84. I think I will finish it only because I am, I don't like to start a show and then never finish it. Even if I like take a break from it, I normally come back to it because I'm like, oh, well, I started it. I might as well finish it. So I probably will and they're not long episodes. Yeah. I just looked it up to see the round tomatoes. And the first review is, while I admit I took a pause after episode four.
Starting point is 00:36:32 I ended up really enjoying it. The show really deserves to be watched in all caps in entirety. Yeah, all right. I'll give it. I mean, I probably will finish it. It really gets tied to get. How about as a group we finish it?
Starting point is 00:36:45 We can do that. I just said I would never watch a second of that show ever again. We could finish it as a group. Yeah, I would like to be around other people when I watch it probably. And Joe's not watching it with me. He's a scaredy cat. Maybe we could watch together.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Yeah. I'll give absolutely I just said as a group There are only seven episodes There are seven episodes yeah Watchers a group I For me personally like C minus One and two Just from a
Starting point is 00:37:16 Maybe maybe that grade will change If we finish the whole thing And maybe the grade Maybe I'll be able to grade the show as a whole If I finish all of it I finally watched The Last of Us Finale took me a while To get to that last episode
Starting point is 00:37:30 just had a lot going on. Great. I've really liked it. Good thought-provoking. Really makes you think of like their relationship and Joel's decisions. And I'll give it a B. Yeah. I'll give it a B-plus.
Starting point is 00:37:51 I think that's what I gave it. I will give that episode of B-plus. The season as a whole is a solid A-minus. I agree. Like that, as the show as a whole, very much enjoyed. I watched all of the, I had a night where I was by myself and really cruised through a lot of things. I watched the Malaysian flight documentary. I watched all of it.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Did you find out who, where are the planets? No, but you know what? It was really, I really, I did end up actually really liking it because it was just like, they give so many things. theories. Maybe I gave up too soon. And there's so much evidence. Like there's just the argument after each episode they kind of, each episode they kind of like pitch different theories. And after each theory, I was like, yes, that's definitely what happens. But then the next one, I'd be like, ooh, that's what happens. So it's just, and everybody has different ideas. It's just like, it's truly all over the place, which is why you finish it and you're just like, it is crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:00 that we do, we really do not know. And there's all these different theories and thoughts behind what, behind what happened. But I thought it was, um, I thought it was pretty good. So I'll give it a, I'll give it a, I'll give it a, I'll give it a, I'll give to be. I went through it pretty quickly, but it had me, I watched all three in a row, so it had me fairly captivated. I haven't finished Love Island UK yet, which I know is kind of crazy. I'm like back on par with, after being so up to date, I think I'm, basically, basically on par with the Hulu episodes. So for all those that are watching on Hulu, I'm there with you. I've just kind of gotten lazy, like watching on my computer with the VPN and everything.
Starting point is 00:39:42 I'm like, I'll just wait it out on Hulu now. So I'm almost done. We'll see. And I still hasn't been spoiling. Who won? So I'm cruising. Cruising there. I don't know if I ever.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I know I said I watched Perfect Match, but I don't know if I ever talked about finishing it. No. And I finished it and I would just like my final thoughts to say that was the stupidest show. That was the, I mean, it was entertaining. But holy crap was that pointless. And then I got wrapped into like all the drama that's happened afterwards. And I was just like, God, that was just for. It sounds like a good idea in theory.
Starting point is 00:40:20 You're like, oh, all of these people come together for one net for show. Like it's obviously just all for clout. Nobody cares. No relationship lasted. Like it was just the show came out so late. They got it. It's a good. idea if they can work out some of the kinks and then um shrinking episode nine i will give a b i don't have
Starting point is 00:40:40 too many thoughts on that i'm excited for the for the finale ted lasso one and two episodes one and two i'll also give a b do those all come out at the same time or it's week no it's week by week and daze jones and the six episode seven and eight nine and ten are actually out now but i haven't watched it yet yeah they came out early for some reason i don't know thursday seven and eight I'll give a I want to give two different grades Can I do that? Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:10 This makes it tough on the graphic, but yeah Okay well episode seven Episode seven I would like to give a C And episode eight I would like to give a B plus Oh okay Because I really like I love the show I'm obsessed my TikTok is literally entirely
Starting point is 00:41:25 Daisy Jones and I've been listening to the album So much it's so good Did you see the TikTok where she Where she's stitched Yeah, yeah, I did. So good. I mean, ugh. It just, the episode seven was like really her in Greece with the new guy.
Starting point is 00:41:38 And they just like weirdly changed. Yeah, that wasn't. They've weirdly like changed certain things from the book that's like, you know, if you don't have to. I get it when there's some things that's like, oh, it makes it too complicated for the TV show. Like, let's just make it, simplify it, make it easier. Sure. But it's like, why change that that guy, that the guy that she marries is Irish? He's Italian in the book.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Like what, like, you know, like there's Italian discrimination. Why change it? So it's like, what the hell is the point of this? But eight, I liked so much better. You get like the big stage moment that everybody has been talking about. Everybody is making the Fleetwood Mac. It's my entire TikTok is just Silver Springs, Fleetwood Mac, people talking about it, dissecting it. But I also didn't know the connections between the two.
Starting point is 00:42:28 All of this about Fleetwood Mac. Like, I didn't really know. I did not either. I knew that there was drama within Fleetwood Mac. I always knew that, but I didn't know like the full extent. Yeah. And then also just like that scene where they're both on stage, just like exactly what happened. You know what's crazy though is I watched a TikTok where it was Sam and Riley and they were talking about seeing.
Starting point is 00:42:52 And I hope I'm remembering this correctly, but they were talking about seeing the Silver Springs video that the one that's been going viral. Again, I mean viral, but it's from a long time ago. But Sam was like, yeah, it was really crazy to see that, like, basically it kind of seemed like he said that they watched that after they filmed. No way. Because they're, like, even the way she's singing at him is. Believe me, I know. They're side by sides of the video. It's so similar.
Starting point is 00:43:21 But it just like, I don't know if that's, I don't know how true or not that is. But I am thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. And, oh, I put the sweatshirt behind me for a reason. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They're really cool. Very cool. They're very cool.
Starting point is 00:43:37 You guys can buy them. They're chicks in the office sweatshirts in the font of the show. I like the color. And the color's awesome. It actually all meshes together really, really well. The prints cool. It has like little tiny dots in it. You can see as well.
Starting point is 00:43:52 So you can get this in the store. Go buy it. And I really, really like it. You haven't given Daisy Jones a go yet. No, I have. No interest? I might. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:01 I'm I don't know I'll give credit to my mom When she called me And said that she was watching She reminds me of Fleawood Mac Yeah She's not on TikTok Yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:44:12 You know what's funny Did you see Lindsay Buckingham's TikTok account Did you see what he posted Where it's like Everyone's talking about this performance And he just posted his guitar solo Yeah
Starting point is 00:44:21 Like nothing to do with all the drama Yeah Funny move Okay that's everything That's all for me I watched a lot obviously Let me just check on new phone.
Starting point is 00:44:34 You gotta put a case swing in that phone around all day. Because I've never had like a white color. Yeah, like a lot. Sleak. I have a case coming on Saturday. Okay. Thanks a couple.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It's a long time. I've been really delicate. Real delicate. Okay. Watch Daisy Jones in the six, episode seven and eight. And I'll give that a B like for both them. Collectively,
Starting point is 00:44:55 you'll average that out. I pretty much do what you did, but it's two. Yeah. So yeah, that the episode of her in Greece, I'm like, wanted to see the band together. Yeah, yeah. Like, I don't really care about her finding her.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Also, making her friend fly out to Greece. Yeah. Like, and not giving any explanation. If I'm not going into Greece. Yeah. Shrinking episode nine, you have a C plus, like, I don't know. These seem to be hit or miss with me, these episodes. It's totally fine.
Starting point is 00:45:23 There's no character that I, like, attached to, like, other than I kind of have a crush on the girl. But, like, there's no one that I'm like, I like, I like, I like, I like, like this character. Like they're all kind of like Jason Zagle? No, he's kind of like unlikable to me. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:36 I find him to be unlikable. It's, you know, I don't know. I kind of agree with you. Going through a lot. There's no character where I'm like, yeah, like, even Harris. They're all kind of like annoying. There's no character where I'm like,
Starting point is 00:45:45 I love this character. Yeah. But I find them all to be likeable. Oh, I find them to be annoying. I just like they're kind of annoying and like. Well, I mean, I like the show
Starting point is 00:45:55 more than you guys. I think they're all likable. The neighbor I love, the neighbor's husband I love, Sean I love. Actually, I think the neighbor's husband might be my favorite. The neighbor's husband's hilarious. I think he's my favorite. He's my favorite. Yeah, that's a good point. The neighbor's husband is very funny. Yeah. When he was like, when she's say, you gotta go. He's like, now that you're retired. He's like, I've worked my entire life. Like, you go. He's like, leave a house. He's my favorite. The other one's kind of annoying me. Okay, yeah. Watch Swarm all of season one. I thought it was fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic. That's the grade. A minus. Wow. Overall. Yeah. Okay. So. like after the like okay so episode six i think was my favorite episode by far i don't really want to well that's because i thought they're eight my second the last episode was my favorite um but even like
Starting point is 00:46:41 the finale like once it ended i was like wow that was a really good show like it just all tied to get like we'll we'll have a discussion about revisiting yes and i am not watching it alone tonight yeah yeah yeah great show uh and also i thought yeah billy i Alex was really good in her episode. That is my struggle as well. I do really want to see Billy Island. I will say. Paris Jackson was also very good.
Starting point is 00:47:06 She's in the second episode. Yeah, Paris Jackson too. And it's funny that she played like her character. Like the joke that she was like, I'm half black. Yes. But yeah, Billy Eilish, that episode, it's not really that violent overall. How well. I'm not against the violent, like the violent part of it.
Starting point is 00:47:26 It's, I'm genuinely freaked out. by the characters involved. But sometimes good, that's why I said, that's why I said, that's why I said she's so good because she's just like so free. She was,
Starting point is 00:47:36 I first saw her in the Deuce, the James Franco HBO show, which was pretty good. She was good in that too. I watched you, season four, episode nine and ten, and everyone was saying,
Starting point is 00:47:46 like, you have to watch till the end, like, it gets better, it ties together. And it was. It was better than the episodes before that.
Starting point is 00:47:54 It still wasn't great. And it still should be ended. Like, this show shouldn't continue. Okay. Um, C plus. Okay. Uh, Boston Strangler, new Kira Knightley movie on Hulu.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Uh, I thought it was really good. Yeah. She was, she did a great job. I'll get that a B plus. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Um, that's also another one that you probably wouldn't want to watch alone, I would say. Yeah. Noted. The name Boston Strangler. Sounds like, doesn't scream. I want to watch that. Uh, I watched this terrible movie called the Reef Stocked. Just one of those movies that pops up. And I'm like, yeah. The reef stock? The reef stocked, like stocked. Like, you're stocked.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Stocker. Oh, stocked. St-A-L-K. Stalked. Yeah. Stocked. Reef, like, the reef like, like, like, R-E-E-F. R-E-F.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Yeah, because basically the movie is these girls, they're on, they get stuck in the ocean and there's a shark after them. Got it. But it's not. Classic Tales all the time. It's, it'll, it's entertaining because it's like a shark is trying to kill these people, but it's a bad movie. Okay. Got it. So, D.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Got it. D. I watched the Hulu show accused episode seven and eight, which I think the whole series is pretty interesting. Each episode is a different story of someone who's accused of something. And yeah, I'll go that to C plus overall. It's pretty entertaining. And then last night I watched this movie from 2010. I'm specifying that because there's other movies with this name.
Starting point is 00:49:32 It's called The Way Back. It's not the Ben Affleck movie. There's another one I think. It's with Colin Farrell. There's a bunch of great actors in it. And it's like a truish story about these prisoners who escape and they have to walk from Siberia to India. It's a crazy trip. Great movie.
Starting point is 00:49:56 But I'll give it a B. Wonderful. Yeah. And that's it. A long less. Not too long. Nicely done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:02 It's your usual. All right. That's everything we watched this week. If you're looking for a fun activity to do with friends, look no further than top golf. It is so much fun because it's golf. It's not golf. It's top golf. It's its own thing.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I've gone to the one in New Jersey. It is great. You can bring whoever you want with you. Whether you golf or don't, it doesn't matter. It's always a great time. You can play games, eat, hang out. It's just like a great activity for all seasons, any time. Even if you don't golf, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Everyone can play top golf, even if no one in your group can golf. Top golf is the only place you can play around and then order another or hit a slice and then grab a slice. It's all the fun of outside, but with the comforts of inside, comfy, heated bays in the winter and cool bays in the summers. Like I said, all seasons, you can go check out Top golf. If you have an open Saturday, Sunday coming up, you want to plan a fun activity. for your friends. Check out top golf. It's golf. It's not golf. It's top golf. Download the app, book a bay, and come play around. All right, let's get into some topics. Big topic this week. Big topic. Is that TikTok is on the verge of possibly being banned. The CEO testified in front of
Starting point is 00:51:26 the Congress today, which is not something I saw coming. And I really was unaware of the this until this week. They've been very seriously talking about this for a serious. It's a serious thing that may happen is that TikTok may be banned. Yeah. Look, there's been major worries about TikTok and connection to China and tons of other things. Like there's really been a lot.
Starting point is 00:51:54 So I can sum it up as best as I can by reading straight from this article. where the TikTok CEO testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee for roughly five hours. The members grilled him for site and cited concerns about privacy for Americans' data, protections for children online, and TikTok's connection to the Chinese Communist Party. The hearing was led by committee chair. They know different representatives that I don't, if you care that much, you can read about it too. They're specific people. Congress and President Joe Biden are looking at.
Starting point is 00:52:32 ways to crack down on the app, including a potential U.S. ban, how Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters during the hearing he'd back a ban. CEO said in his opening statement that TikTok is safe, insecure, and that it shouldn't be banned. He also noted that 150 million people in the U.S. are active TikTok users, underscoring how entrenched the app has become in the three years Washington has sought to rein it in. Members appeared skeptical of his testimony with a few warning him against lying to the committee. Lawmakers were almost universally critical of the app. So there's basically from all sides, it feels like there's a lot of criticism for it. They want answers and they feel like TikTok is being extremely vague about where they're storing their information, how much of our data is being used.
Starting point is 00:53:17 And the protection of children. There were parents that spoke who lost their son to suicide and they feel like TikTok and things that he saw on TikTok were a big stem. for him. And so they're really wanting to crack down on this, help protect children that are on it. And, you know, we joked when we walked, like, came in today. It was like, damn, hot take.
Starting point is 00:53:50 What an hate if TikTok was banned? But there's like, there's all sides of that, right? Selfishly as consumers, it's like how much of our day would we have back if there wasn't TikTok? And how much do we see and get influenced by and affects us now? Because like, you know, millions and millions and millions of people are using it. We're talking about it. We get a lot of information from it.
Starting point is 00:54:15 And there are so many creators now who are on TikTok, who have made careers out of TikTok, who have built these followings on TikTok where if TikTok were to be gone, that's some fucking blood, blood, sweat, and tears of these people. building it up. So, you know, of course, it would, of course, hurt creators. There are other platforms that creators could turn to. But if they don't have as big of a falling on other platforms, of course, that feels like having to rebuild a lot.
Starting point is 00:54:46 But from the standpoint of, like, could TikTok be potentially dangerous? I get it. I get it too. I see pros and cons to both in which you already mentioned. Selfishly, would I care if TikTok was banned? no, I think, like you said, it would free up some space in the brain of information that we are getting 24-7, whether it's good, whether it's bad. I'm sure the social social team would really not like a... They would not like...
Starting point is 00:55:14 No, they wouldn't. They wouldn't. That's why I'm not like... I'm not like... Yeah, no, I know. Bleeding the charges of banning TikTok. But I... You're out of third-chixing officer fall on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Yeah, yeah. Selfishly, I just wouldn't be too upset. Yeah. But I also understand that a lot of people would be very upset. It is a source. of entertainment. It is a career for a lot of people. People who have struggled to make money in other areas have made money doing things on TikTok. People who have built businesses didn't take off until they were able to put it on TikTok and spread the word. So I see the good use in that. And I think
Starting point is 00:55:50 that's great for those people and would be quite damaging to a lot of people. So I do think there's pros and cons to each. Do I think it is dangerous? And misinformation can be spread and it can be depressing and all of those things. And dangerous for young kids. But I also think. You say all the above for any. Right. Well, that's what I was,
Starting point is 00:56:09 I was going to lead into that. That I think social media in general, I think is dangerous for young kids. I think Instagram could be the same way. I mean, the thing is information does not spread as quickly as it does on TikTok as it does other places. But it's kind of the same thing.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Same thing you're going to get on Instagram. Same thing you're going to get on Twitter. Same thing you're going to get on Facebook. All of these social media platforms are dangerous to an extent for young kids and just people in general. And if it was gone, maybe they would just, like, it would just be like, I want to be an Instagram star instead of kids being like, I want to be a TikToker. And it was that for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:56:40 It was, I want to be an Instagram influencer. Now it's I want to be a TikTok star. Yeah, yeah. So I do think, no matter what, there's going to be a new platform that comes out that is just going to be the same thing. Social media is forever evolving and there's going to be something new that is dangerous for kids. Just the internet in general has always been dangerous. You can just log on and see whatever you want by one wrong click of the button. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:04 So I think that there is so much that goes into this. Do I think it's actually going to get banned? No, I don't. I think they're going to find a way around it in some way. More when we say it doesn't, if it gets, you know. They might come up with some kind of legislation to put. If we say it gets banned and work, we're mainly joking around about it selfishly, like, you know, because we are on it so much and because we do love TikTok. Like that's where it comes from.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Right. We do have the House speaker saying he does support a ban of TikTok. So, you know, he said, But I also think this happened years ago. I think the hearing today you see a bipartisan concern here with what's happening on TikTok, especially what's happening to the data for Americans. There's many different ramifications here.
Starting point is 00:57:49 So I think they could come together. I'd let the committees do their work and see what the product comes out. When it gets done, we'd be able to move it. So I think more realistically, probably they try and come up with some kind of legislation that puts more restrictions on TikTok. There's always ways around restrictions, right? It's like, to your age and this age, you can't be on longer for this. You put it in a different age.
Starting point is 00:58:12 You put it in your parents' age. People will find a way around restrictions like they do for everything that exists. So I think it's a very interesting debate. And I think, like we said, there's pros and cons to both sides. And let me tell you, like the TikTok, obviously TikTok creators, very upset about this. Which, rightfully so. And they were very upset about the whole hearing. There was plenty of people who were upset because they felt like the CEO wasn't really able to get his full thoughts out without being jumped on by the committee members and everything that was happening.
Starting point is 00:58:44 So if I was somebody who gained all of my following on TikTok or if I was a business that struggled to take off, businesses that get told no on Shark Tank that then take their business to TikTok and they pop. If I was one of those people, I would be upset. I'd be like my business was created. And not even just like, obviously for the creators, it's so important, but just people are obsessed with TikTok. Like there's plenty of people. Like young people on TikTok have lost their shit about this. Like freaking out that it could actually be.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Like a massive Instagram was all of a sudden like we're going to get rid of Instagram. No, I get it. I get it. But I also think that's why the conversation becomes, this is why it's so on. healthy. Yeah. Like the fact that people will lose their fucking minds and not, not creators, not businesses, just genuine consumers will lose their minds.
Starting point is 00:59:35 That, I think, is the argument they're making, like, we are. But I don't think that's crazy. Like, it's a source of entertainment. Like, if Netflix was all of a sudden, like, banned, it'd be like, what? Like, everyone would be outraged, too. I guess it's just the different, it's a different kind of entertainment. I guess, but it's like, I'll spend three hours. Of course, like, this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Lawmakers are going to be much more concerned about China's influence on TikTok than the 16-year-old that's on TikTok. They don't give a fuck about that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's, right. At the end of the day, they're just like, we want to keep our app. I don't care of China's taking all of our data. Like, they don't, that's not a big, like, global picture for, them like in my opinion i'm sure there are some who are much or educate themselves on it too but it's just
Starting point is 01:00:29 like the lawmakers are coming at it from such a international relations scale not just like hey this is my this is my favorite app yeah yeah don't fucking take it away from i also think like they're also they say they're looking at it at it as like harmful the kids and whatever no they're worried they're worried about about China having the information China having the information that is it
Starting point is 01:00:55 like at the end of the day they could throw in all these other fancy things we're worried about the kids we're worried about no no their government is worried strictly about the Chinese government they're like that is that's what it comes down to
Starting point is 01:01:07 so it is what it is in our personal opinion I don't think anything is going to happen in the right quickly yeah obviously we acknowledge that it would be very shitty for a ton of people if it did go away.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Yeah. My scream time would be way down though. Yeah, that's what we're saying. It's like, but what I personally throw a tantrum. I think we could make a joke about it, but know that it's serious for some people. Right, right, right. Moving on, Megan Fox and MGK are taking a break that has been confirmed. We kind of knew that was the case.
Starting point is 01:01:40 You know, when Megan Fox posted those things on Instagram and they were going to do this little back and forth, did MGK cheat on her, this whole thing? They are taking a break. Will they get back together? I assume so. I'm actually going to go with no. You don't think so. I think it's going to be a break that slowly ends it.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Yeah. Yeah. I think they're done. This is their soft launch of a breakup. Yeah. That could be possible. I'm like, I am firmly on the, firmly on the side of they will not get back together. Really? I'm on the side of they will just because they seem to have that energy about them, like a toxic relationship of breaking up, getting back together,
Starting point is 01:02:12 breaking up, getting back together. I would have thought that, but now I'm in the camp of they had something so intense and then now they're just like both over it. Hmm. I could be wrong, but that's just where I'm at. You think the flame burned too bright. I think it did. I think the twin flame burned too bright. Too bright and then it just got really dimmed and they're like, yeah, we don't really see it
Starting point is 01:02:35 anymore. Yep. Could be. That's where I fall in that. Interesting. I don't. I mean, seeing that they were taking a break, obviously not surprising, considering everything that has been going on recently. So, yeah. Could they be back together in a week? They could. I really, I think this is it. I respect your opinion and I can't wait to find out. Yep.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Last topic, before we move on to one more thing. You guessed it. You guessed it. Vanderpump rules. Raquel was spotted outside of her nail place, spotted, quote-unquote, TMZ. Obviously, TMZ is not just walking around the local strip malls. No.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Unless they're called. She's straight up called TMZ. Raquel called TMZ. Had a little interview outside this nail place. Didn't really say anything. A couple of things were discussed. She had talked on the phone with Ariana. The conversation obviously did not go well.
Starting point is 01:03:25 She said she would prefer not to repeat the things that Ariana said to her. She said that the relationship with Sandoval started off as friendship and then led to something else as we could pick up on. She did have a genuine interest in Schwartz. I don't know if I buy that at all. I think she was probably trying to make Sandoval jealous. she will be at the reunion which is filming right now as we speak when you guys listen to it will already filmed so I'm sure more details will come out from people that were on set of the reunion that have details
Starting point is 01:03:57 right now as we know it when Raquel is talking to the group Sheena has to stay in her trailer when Sheena is out talking to the group Raquel has to stay in her trailer they cannot be in the same room because of the court order and the restraining order that Raquel has placed on Sheena so the reunion will be the reunion will be really interesting when we, because everybody knows you find out details before
Starting point is 01:04:21 it gets aired on TV because producers they tell someone who tells somebody the information comes out. Some make all the spoilers. You never knows. Maybe somebody will message me. And that's how it goes. But clearly, Ariana is not going to be happy with Raquel and it's going to be real interesting what happens because Lala posted
Starting point is 01:04:40 on her story, like we're coming for you at Raquel or we'll see it tomorrow with the purple devil face. It's not going to be good for her. The video really was like, and she's just kind of smiling into the camera. She's like, I'm going to take responsibility and say sorry. And like, it's like, I don't think it's going to go that well.
Starting point is 01:05:03 But I don't know. It's just they've released, Bravo released the seating charts for both scenarios. Because like you said, Raquel and Sheena can't be on there at the same time. So when Raquel is on stage, it is. Andy in the middle and then to Andy's right it goes Ariana, Katie, James Kennedy, Lala.
Starting point is 01:05:26 And then on Andy's left, Lisa Vanderpump, Sandvall, Raquel, Schwartz. So Sanneval and Raquel are next to each other, next to Lisa Vanderpump, and Ariana is across next to Andy.
Starting point is 01:05:43 And when Sheena's on stage, Andy's right is still the same but it goes, Lisa, the Sandoval Schwartz, Sheen on the end. So Schwartz and Schwartz moves when Raquel is on and then Sheen is on the end. So do you think Sanneval and Raquel are putting up
Starting point is 01:06:01 United Front? They were spotted visiting Raquel's family in Arizona, I believe. They were spotted. I don't know. I guess so. And Andy allegedly also filmed individual interviews with Ariana Sandoval and Raquel, I believe.
Starting point is 01:06:22 I hope Andy just gets right fucking into it. Because remember with the Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion that everybody was waiting for and we had to wait to wait literally until part three. No. Get right into it because nobody cares about the other drama.
Starting point is 01:06:39 We only care about this. Everybody watching only cares about this. Don't make us wait week to week. We will sit there and watch four hours live. We will sit there and watch for four hours. Bravo, if you can hear me, we will sit there and watch for four hours straight. Do not make it a part one, part two week to week. I mean, they will. Don't do it to us. They will. Let us watch one night in a row. That's impossible. You won't lose the viewership.
Starting point is 01:07:09 He'll never do that. It'll be three parts. It might even be four. See, by the way, Jackson and Brittany, we're on Watch What Happens Live. And Jacks, swore on his child's life that Schwartz knew about Sandoval and Raquel's affair for a while. Not shocking information. Schwartz has also said that he
Starting point is 01:07:28 knew and told Sandoval he had to tell Ariana. Yeah. Now here's my question and I would love to know people's thoughts on this because I know what I think about this. Schwartz knew that Sanneval was doing this to
Starting point is 01:07:45 Ariana. You got to tell your friend, you gotta speak up. You have to tell her Ariana. You have to tell Ariana. What do you feel, when does it become Schwartz's place to tell Ariana? Or is it never Schwartz's place? Um, never. That's what I think. I think it is never Schwartz's place to tell Ariana. I think you have to advise your friend consistently. Yeah. And that's, I think, the most Schwartz can do is say, you have to tell Ariana. You have to tell Ariana. I think you have to tell Ariana. I think you have to Ariana, but I don't think Schwartz tells Ariana. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:28 I'm trying to think, I don't know. I'm trying to think of like a way around that. Maybe Schwartz just tells other people and then they tell Oriana. Right. Like I just, maybe. I just think him going. Like, you know what, Katie? I got something to tell you and you guys.
Starting point is 01:08:44 And you got to tell Ariana. That I think. Yeah. And then it still comes back to him. Yeah, it does. But there's something that's different. It's different when you go straight to the person. then like I was telling
Starting point is 01:08:54 I had to get it off my chest you know at the same time you say to your friend you've put this information on me that's fucking horrible what do you expect me to do with it also you're the one that's fucking up so you're gonna be mad at me I think it's just more that that should like affect their friendship more you know
Starting point is 01:09:10 if Sandoval if Schwartz knew and was like you have to say something and he didn't the longer he waited the more I would be pissed at my friend and be like you're a fucking bad person yeah I would love to the conversation between Sandoval and Schwartz where Shorts is telling Sandoval
Starting point is 01:09:26 and Sandoval's not doing it and Schwartz is like you're fucking killing me, I'm sitting with this it's going to fall on me. But I don't think it's ever Schwartz's place to go tell Ariana. Schwartz mentions it to somebody else and it finds this way to Ariana. Right. Fine.
Starting point is 01:09:42 But I think like the direct I'm sure people may disagree with that. Yeah, no, I would think that would be a pretty split. But say like A very split decision. Like I think people would be like, no, he should tell Ariana immediately. Schwartz, tell her. Oh, Schwartz.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Yeah. But I'm just thinking about like if my friends, like, if one of my best friends was cheating on her boyfriend or whoever, I would tell her you need to speak up. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I would consistently be like, you're fucking up. But I don't think I would go straight to the boyfriend. Like, I think I would.
Starting point is 01:10:18 I don't think I would be like, that's not my place. But I'm going to keep telling you that you're fucking wrong. for this and I think you're being really shitty, but I'm not going to go to your boyfriend and tell them. I agree. You know, if that's your best friend. I agree. So, I don't know. It's, uh, it's crazy. It has not died down. No. And it won't. And that's it for topics, but we'll get into one more thing.

Starting point is 01:11:47 And I posted this on my Instagram story. but smash the TV show, which was on NBC 2012-ish maybe? I was like, I think I was like just starting high school, starring Catherine McPhee, is going to be made into a Broadway show, which I am thrilled about. Fun. Is she going to be in it? Probably not. I think that they would cast that in a different way. But did you ever ever see an episode of Smash? But I like see it, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:12:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a great show. And they did use a lot of Broadway stars. Megan Hilty, I'm sorry, so I can remember these people's names. Oh, Deborah Messing was in it. Les Eulam Jr. was in it. Angelica Houston. So some iconic people.
Starting point is 01:12:41 And they are, oh, I actually just saw this guy on Broadway. Brian Darcy, James. What did I see him in? I'm just excited for that. I think that's a great idea. and that's really that's really all I got I'm excited for you I was a that was a quick one I have a quick one too okay have you ever seen the the the the the lagoons that people swim in in Iceland yes and you're like put the mud on your face and whatever never do I ever want to go in the warm the warm uh
Starting point is 01:13:08 lagoons yeah I never want to go in one ruins your hair apparently if it even touches your hair at all the mud does just the water itself I'm from has too I thought it's supposed to be like good for you The face, the mud itself is good for your skin. The water is terrible for your hair. Why? The amount of TikToks... Is it like sulfur or something in it? The amount of TikToks I have seen.
Starting point is 01:13:27 I am on Blue Lagoon TikTok. What happened to your hair? I saved it. My guess would be their sulfur. Blue Lagoon hair damage. It would be my guess. Note to girls visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. Don't get your hair wet.
Starting point is 01:13:43 My hair has taken for washing. And this person says, so why does this happen? Has high levels of silic. Oh, okay. Makes your hair feel really stiff and dry. Oh. Forever? There's a lot of good minerals in the water as well,
Starting point is 01:13:58 but your hair will feel really shitty after if you put it in. And don't ask me why I ended up on Blue Lagoon TikTok. Yeah, I don't know how you ended up there. I don't know, maybe they can't ban TikTok. You wouldn't ever found that out. Maybe they read in my brain that I have always been interested in going to these Blue Lagoons.
Starting point is 01:14:15 I have lost an interest in going to these Blue Lagoon's now. I'm now I'm now grossed out by swimming in these lagoons Apparently they're yucky They're not as nice as you think When you go
Starting point is 01:14:26 People are doing just Nasty stuff in them Gross I know so I'm turned off I've had some people I've had some friends go They say it's quite lovely Really yeah okay
Starting point is 01:14:36 They're bald now Real people Yeah yeah That I will take the advice from But you see this will happen See TikTok I'm now discussed about By the Blue Lagoon
Starting point is 01:14:45 Misinformation Classic TikTok misinformation They just make everything bad. Everything that's good turns bad, like dolphins. I actually just realized that I have one more, one more thing. That sounds illegal, but it does. It sounds like I shouldn't be allowed, but this is actually one more, one more thing. I'm too involved on who Alex Earl is going to date next.
Starting point is 01:15:06 And it seems to be Braxton Berrios. Really? Yeah, I just... What do you mean? I feel like she's just dating around. I thought I saw someone when Devin Booker side side. Yeah. Braxton Berrios, Taylor Holder.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Yeah. I'm just saying like that's what my TikTok's talking about right now. And she made a video the other day about like, she was like, get ready with me to make sushi. And then she was like, why am I getting ready to make sushi? Well, like somebody's coming over. And everyone was like, who's coming over? Interesting. People are very invested.
Starting point is 01:15:38 And I would just like to say I am one of them. And I would also like to know what happened with him and Sophia Coppa. I would like to know too. And when it seemed like when they were going to do that breakup, Olivia Copp, kept posting like I wish we were filming right now like shit is going down so who knows maybe they broke up and he went to a dog girl. I wonder if they'll get a second season of their show. I know their show moved
Starting point is 01:15:55 to HBO Max. They were advising people to watch on HBO Max because that would be the decider on whether or not they get renewed. So I wonder if enough people watch her. I wonder. You know who obviously like Lauren, my friend Lauren thought it was like she's obsessed. She was like she was, you know when Olivia was posting like go watch on HBO Max?
Starting point is 01:16:13 She was texting like everyone and be like guys go watch it. You have to watch it. You have to go watch. I need this to be renewed. That's nice. Very nice. Big fan, big fan, yeah. I actually did watch a lot of the show, and I did find it entertaining, so I do hope that they
Starting point is 01:16:27 get a second season. I want to know what happened with Braxton and Sophia Copo. I thought they were end game. So did I. I thought they were going to be going on a little football, double date trips forever, the two of them with Christian McCaffery and. Yeah, I know, I know. So definitely, keep it a close eye.
