This week on the snack, Beckham family drama. Tell Me Lies and why we want it to be 2016 again. This is a Dear Media production. Enjoy. Hi. Big week. The tea has been hot and flowing. I mean, there was this tweet. She said, Big Day for Instagram stories.

Yes, big day for Instagram stories. We will get into it. Listen, I hate to see other people having drama, but I love to talk about it. Let's start it out. Like, we don't take joy in other people. We don't take pleasure at other people's pain, but the show is about the drama. The show. Our show.

The drama. So we're going to talk about it. We're going to thank our partner and then we're going to get right into it. Thank you to Shopify. If 2026 is your year, go to shopify.com slash gge and make your move. Okay. Well, since we only have one partner today, I wanted to plug another. Add another partner to the show.

Add another partner to the show. So my husband, Shishonk, who in honor of him, I'm wearing my. New sweatshirt from the TikTok shop. Go on YouTube if you want to read it. Just leave you on a cliffhanger. I'm not going to tell me what it says. I'm going to tell you. You can read it.

But anywhere else can go to YouTube and watch. I noticed it. I've been knowing about this. This got me. Have you seen this? If you ever get served these sweatshirts, you just have to have them? No, they got me on skincare the other day. Okay.

I just loaded up. They got me. It's too quick and easy. Anyway, so he has completely created, designed, and launched this app called KitchenSink. And I've just loved watching it come to life and excited to share it with you guys. And it is a recipe app and it is so simple but just so like what's needed in the world. And it's so special. It looks so great.

And it's so fun to use. And you can download it for free. Go to the app store. We'll put a little screenshot up on the screen, Kitchen Sink recipe builder. And you just say what you want to cook that night. And you can list ingredients you already have in your fridge. And it will build recipes surrounding. that or you can just be like I don't have anything and create a shopping list for me and you can

export the shopping list there's all these cool features but basically if you were like I have chicken and rice and I want to make it for this many people you put in the amount of people you put in how much time you want to spend on and then it gives you three options it's not just a recipe app I really love it somebody who's been in like the food space for a long time I've seen every app I've seen every dumb idea I this is a like totally AI generated like what am I going to cook today type of app and I said to him I am having like I feel really bloated and I need something that's going to power wash my colon. Oh, my God.

And he was like, I got you. And he spit out this recipe for those like lentil stew on the app. And you really can just, you can say anything. I have ex-dietary restrictions. I want to cook something at like a beginner level. I have three ingredients in my fridge or nothing in my fridge. Like, what can I make? And like, this just like, it's all I've ever wanted.

I've always just wanted to be like, I have this shit at home. I have this equipment at home. Like, what do I make? Yeah. So exactly. And when you put in what you want to make and the ingredients that you have or don't have, and you can list your dietary restrictions like Raina said, it gives you three options, basic, classic, and creative. So just essentially easy, intermediate and a little more difficult if you're a pro. And it gives you your ingredients, your steps, your shopping list, and then it gives

you additional notes. You can save all the recipes. You can share them. There's a share feature. You can add photos. And you can change the color. It's just, it's what I I've wanted always and I think that like people with kids really or people that long days like I just think you're like I don't know what to make and like my mom this was like the hardest thing for her is like a single mom ever ready to come home from work open up the fridge and I was amazed by her she like created magic out of the fridge every day but like yeah I mean to have an app to tell you to do this I've always wanted something like that's so great my brother and my sister-in-law have been using it like our family's been using it we've been testing it for a while

now and it's just really so special and it looks so good and it's so easy to use again you can choose your color theme sage paprika juniper or espresso. We had so much fun coming up with those names. So I'm a paprika girl. I know. I was going to choose paprika as well. You can also do meal prep mode.

If you're prepping for the week, you want to make like five of something and it'll walk you through it. It's so easy. You can do your metric units. You can mix that up. And it's really easy to use and it's free and you guys can check it out

and just support our family business. And so I can stop working. I would love to retire. I would love for him to retire both of both. Exactly. I just, I love this. Honestly, it is my nightmare that a friend of mine is like, my husband created this app. And I'm like, oh, God, it's so stupid.

I was, like, so amped when he told me about this. I can't, I was just, I just text him about it, like, ideas. And he's like, it's already in there. It's already in that. I just, I love it. Yes. And everybody is so into it. And this is not, he is doing another app, which we talked about when he was on the

podcast. That's different. But this is one that really speaks to us in our audience. And it's like cooking. I care about food and cooking. And if you're staring into the fridge, what the fuck do I do? This is the app for you. So please download it on the app store.

support it so Rayne and I can retire. I'm just kidding. Okay, drop the name again. Kitchen sink. Okay, let's talk about... Who named it. Obviously, your girl. Yeah, the colors, the names.

No, I just named it. I guess you signed up on the social media looking vibe. Okay, well, check that out, you guys. And we are going to... Talk about some other couples. Yes, we are going to kick this off with a divorce report. You hate to see it, but that's what's happening in the world. You know, if people are going to move on and have better lives and feel happier,

I love to see it. Yeah. You know? Exactly. Okay. So I'm going to just going to start with Christy and Desmond. So I will school you a little on this. You're not that familiar with this couple. So this is a social media couple, millions of followers between the two of them. Her she is 18 million or something. He is millions. I mean, they're crazy. So Shishon actually showed them to me first. She would be doing like flips and stuff. And she would put on like a crazy outfit to go take a walk around the block. And he would be reacting to it. And people just love them. They felt very aspirational. They're gorgeous. They have their dreams.

dream home. There are two kids. They met when they were 19 and 20. They got married in 2014. They lived in Houston. And then in 2024 towards the end of the year, they did like a redo wedding because they got married so young and they did their whole like 10 years. They just got remarried. They did a like redo wedding. Yeah. Essentially. Yes. That's what I'm saying. Okay. That is, listen, that is the kiss of death. What? It is everybody on real housewives. Every single time somebody does like a vow renewal, they get divorced next year. Yeah. This always happens. It's really, it's sad. Okay. So Ramona. Shannon Bador. I mean, you said every one of them divorced in a year.

That is so crazy. I didn't know that lore. So yeah, they did their wedding redo in, like, I guess towards the end of 2024. And again, people really love them. And she filed for divorce on December 30th, 2025. So just a few weeks ago, it became public like last week, January 10th or something. And she cited infidelity. Like, she made it clear.

It wasn't irreconcilable differences. Like, and I was seen, like, they live in Texas. and whatever, the laws are, like, she did that on purpose. Like, she didn't make it vague for a reason. Like, she's like, he cheated. Yeah, my dad got divorced in Texas, and I was, like, reading up on the divorce. I mean, hot take, there's different divorce laws in different states. But yes, you have to cite something.

Right. But it's like, if that's what happened, that's what happened. He made a statement on his Instagram story, big day for Instagram stories also last week, two big weeks for Instagram stories. And he said he wanted to separate at the end of 2025. And it sounds like maybe she didn't, or they just tried to work it out. And in that period of like, we're going to break up, he cheated. He stepped out.

So he admitted it and he apologized. I'm not like defending it. But I'm just saying he came out and admitted it. And just some of the T since then that days after that, he was spotted making out with this model at the bar, the club in Houston, like days. Like I think 48 hours post-divorce announcement. So this was a case, by the way, where she found out he was cheating immediately filed before divorce. This isn't like they've been split for months. And he's saying towards the end of 2020,

they started talking about separating. Okay. It sounds like they'd have problems before that, obviously, but I don't know exactly how it went down. It sounded like they decided they were going to break up and he saw his opportunity. He took it to cheat. And then they were like, now we're really done.

And the girl he made out with his since made a statement. And so she came out and I loved her statement. She was just like, yeah, we made out, I'm not the one he cheated with. She wanted to make it clear, like, I'm not the one that broke up the marriage. She also was like, y'all are saying I'm trans. Okay, you're weird for that.

That's an insult. I thought we were past that in 2026, but I am a biological female. Like, she said a bunch of stuff and just was like very cool with it and was just like, I think people are like she's going to do what she's going to do. She's not the one to blame. Okay, listen, I know that we're going to have the 2016 trend and people like missing 2016. But what I do like about these times that we're living in now is the second someone says

some shit about you online. you have 19 platforms at your at your disposal to be like, uh-uh. I mean, yeah, I still feel like we had all that in 2016, but like the old days, like you couldn't get your statement out. What would you have to do? Go on the news. Contact the newspaper. And then the last thing I do like is Christy posted on Instagram a few days after the divorce

announcement in their house, in their mansion, all dressed up, all dolled up, caption, same address. So basically, I'm keeping the house. Oh, that's funny. So she's like, I got the house. He has since moved into it. It looks like another house that is not as nice. It doesn't look like it from the kitchen.

And then she changed her name on Instagram. It's now back to Christy Sarah. And then she unfollowed him. And I think he was still following her, but she has since unfollowed him. But I just love the like, and I'm keeping the house. And this is just another one of those cases of like this couple you thought was perfect and super aspirational.

They had the perfect life. and you just never know. And of course I'm not saying that couples that appear to be perfect all have this going on behind closed doors. But it's just a reminder, I think, of like people who really appear to have the perfect relationship, perfect life, perfect family, sometimes don't.

Yeah. Speaking of a couple that did not appear to have the perfect life that everyone saw coming, the divorce that surprised no one. Kyle and Amanda from Summerhouse. Yeah. So they released a joint Instagram story yesterday

after much reflection. We have mutually and amicably decided to part ways. as a couple, we share this with a heavy heart. I mean, you guys, this is just like spit out AI generated same divorce announcement. Yeah, if I read after much reflection one more time, like, I, you know, I have such a problem with like the canned divorce announcements. And I do understand it. I do understand you want to use the right language and you want to PR it up.

But Amanda Batula, of all people, should have been like, I'm sure this is no surprise. I'm sure this comes as no surprise that Kyle and I are getting divorced. Wasn't the real divorce announcement, his DJ tour poster? I think when he announced his DJ tour, we could have seen this coming. And if you guys aren't familiar, the Summer House on Bravo, this is the OG couple pretty much from the show.

And they have been rocky since day one. Like, you want to root for him, but it's hard. They are so much toxicity. Yeah, I mean, listen, I hate to see anybody's relationship end, maybe except for this one. I just, I think that everybody deserves better. I think people, I've watched him.

I hesitate to use the words, like verbally abused somebody. I've watched him yell and scream at her and embarrass her and treat her poorly on national television for a decade. Cheat on her publicly, scream in her face, embarrass her, not come home at night. Like, you've just watched this for so many years, and it's like, we all deserve to just feel better.

We all deserve to feel respected by our partners. And I don't know. I really have a lot of empathy for what it must be like to be so tied to your partner professionally, financially, publicly, like, I'm not a Tom Sandoval, a polygist by any means, but I understand why that relationship was really hard to end with him and Ariana. It's just like, you are the couple of the show.

This ends, and like, now what? What do we do professionally? Like, what do we do in interviews? Or we can do the Summer House show now? Like, financially, am I going to be okay? I understand your whole life is tied up in this person, but like, he just seemed, this whole relationship seemed bad all the time, and everybody deserves better than this. Yeah, they were poorly matched. I think the judge, general consensus is this couple never should have gotten married just because they had so many problems going into it. And I can understand why it was so hard to split. Not only the show,

but also lover boy, his drink, his like alcoholic beverage, if you guys aren't familiar. Like she worked on it. She was part of it. You know, they were so tied together. And the overwhelming response to the divorce that I've seen, at least on my side of the internet, is support for her and feeling like she can finally break free. She has a swimwear line. It does feel like it's the right time. She's young and they never had kids. And you love to see it.

I mean, they struggled with it. You don't love to see that they couldn't conceive. Again, it's been a struggle. But when a couple is able to separate like this and not have kids in the mix and start the second phase of their life with hopefully better partners and start a family, if that's what they want, of course. Yeah.

I know we only see like bits and pieces of their relationships and you and I know more than anybody how much TV stuff can be cut up and put in different places and it can look like people are having a fight about one thing and they're really not. Things have escalated and maybe maybe they've three fights in a whole summer and those are the only things that they focus on. I don't know. But this relationship looks so toxic and vile for so many years and everybody deserves better than this. And even, I mean, I'm assuming they've been split up for quite some time. I mean, the interviews at BravoCon were pretty hard to watch. I think they've been living separately for a while.

And like, I was re-looking at them this morning, some interviews at BravoCon. And people were asking her, like, people say that you guys are split now. What do you say that? And she was like, I don't know. It's obvious we have problems. We've always had problems.

Like, she wasn't even pretending at that point. I think she's just fucking done with this. But that's why I would have wanted a zestier divorce announcement. No, the yesterday? What did you say? I asked you at me when I was so hard. It should come as no surprise to anyone. She should come as no surprise.

Like, please someone, give us a divorce announcement that like it should come as no surprise. That's so iconic. I just, I can't believe how people time this. And I know that it's like probably not on purpose. But like Jackson, Brittany announced their divorce like the week before the Valley premiered.

Lindsay Hubbard, her pregnancy. She timed that pregnancy so she could be at Summerhouse that summer. But I wanted to talk to you about this. So the show is starting back up for season, I don't know, whatever. In a couple days. And I'm sure there are lots of. reasons. I mean, I guess just them in the news with the divorce announcement, but also there's

got to be part of it that's like they cannot deal with another full season of people watching them and saying they should break up and how terrible of a couple they are and they haven't said it. Like I think if I were her and I'm thinking of this is just a human, not a celebrity, I'm like, I cannot deal with being broken up with this man and hiding it and having all the commentary for however many months of people saying we should. breakup when we're already broke up. Like, we have to rip the Band-Aid off. Yeah, I think they're also going to go into a huge press cycle to premiere.

And they can't just fake it anymore. I mean, they were faking at BravoCon is what it's felt like. Yeah. But it felt really contentious at BravoCon. Like, they weren't even attempting to pretend. And I don't blame them. I mean, if, I don't know. I don't want to be like he was so terrible.

I wasn't in that relationship. But it seems like he wants to run around, be a DJ and drink and stay out all night long. And you're entitled to do that. You just can't have a partner. Yeah, I mean, they, I'll give them a little grace. I mean, they definitely grew up, like, over the years. And every season, it felt a little less toxic.

You really just started to see the contempt, specifically her towards him. And you were just like, she doesn't like him. And for me, I would never be with somebody that gets that drunk in parties at this age. I mean, he runs around. He wants to live his life, like a much younger person. And that is not my preference. And it gets old. And that's not who you want to start a family.

with. So if he wants to party and be a DJ, let him cook. Like Kyle Cook. That's the tour name. Let Kyle Cook. Let him cook is the tour name. It's a great name. That's hilarious. It's the perfect name. Did you see the tour poster? No, let Kyle Cook is funny also. Like, LeCkeye. Wait, is it like I don't know. I like that too. Okay, hold on, hold on. No, it is. It's let him cook tour, but with the, his cook spelled like his last name with the E.

These are so funny, right? Like, he's doing, he's doing Marquis and March in Vegas. He's doing Orlando, Kansas City. You should meet up on one of these tour dates. See, if any align with your tour date. I think that this is the case with a lot of these guys. on Bravo. They want a Peter Pan through life forever until the end of time. I think he knows he found this woman who is so beautiful and kind and smart and cool and everybody loves her. And he's

like, I can't, I can't let go with this. Like, he just happened to find somebody unlike Shep or Austin from Southern Charm. Like, but he does seem like somebody that wants to just Peter Pan his way through life. And you can go do that. But you don't get to drag somebody through the fucking mud with you. Yeah. And you really have watched her grow and come into her own on the show. And I think that's why people are rooting for her so hard. Like, she really just stopped being Kyle's wife, and now she has her swimwear line. And you could tell she just, she was so hesitant to really put herself out there. And she did it.

We saw her swimsuits at Southman Under. It was like her number one store word that she launched in. So anyway, you know, good, good for them. And we will be watching this season. One more thing I have to tell you. So I saw this clip that they like resurfaced this morning of her on Jason Tardix show. And she's talking about how she did not, prior to. It was right after she married Kyle and she didn't send a pre-nup.

And she was saying back then, I don't believe in pre-ups. This is not like romantic. I don't like this idea that you would break up. And then fast forward to now, I saw another more recent interview where she was like, everybody needs a pre-nup. Get a pre-nup. I saw that. Under all, under every circumstances, get a pre-nup.

Don't let somebody protect yourself, protect your partner. That couple. If anyone should have had a pre-up. And by the way, pre-ups, we talked about them, helloprinup.com, you guys, go Gigi. are not romantic. And no one likes the idea that you would break up. No, but that's, you still need a, like, you know. Well, I mean, I don't, I don't have health insurance thinking I'm going to get cancer,

but God forbid. Totally. So anyways. All right. Well, good luck to everybody. Okay. So not really a divorce, but maybe, maybe someone divorcing his parents, the Beckham family drama.

So this has been going on for years. If you guys are just, if you're not involved, obviously Brooklyn Beckham, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, is the son of Victoria and David Beckham, and he married Nicola Peltz. And she is the daughter of this billionaire. He's a hedge fund guy. He's involved in a bunch of different companies. But there has been a lot of, like, public discourse between this family of, like, what's going on with Brooklyn and Nicola and the parents. And Victoria Beckham, allegedly not liking Nicola and all these issues back and forth. And you've seen in the news for the last couple years, the same.

siblings kind of like going back and forth a little bit. Is there just two sons? There's three sons and one daughter. Oh, there's that many kids? I just don't care about this. I care now, but it's been hard for me to care about this family.

And not that I, for no reason, and it's just, you can't care about everything. And I've not been in the loop with what's going on. But anyway, they have plenty of other kids.

I'm just kidding. You mean like if they can lose one? No, because like all this was going down on Instagram and they were promoting Cruz's show or whatever. Like they were promoting. their other kids like stuff. It was like a very funny like dichotomy.

But anyway, okay. So they have four kids. There's three boys. The daughter, I think, is the youngest. Brooklyn is the oldest. Yeah. They are like a European royal family. 100%.

He's a soccer star. Obviously, we don't care about that as much in America. I mean, they're friends with like the royal family. Yeah. They're the most famous people. They're like, they're friends with like Elton John and, you know, the royal family. Yeah. So they're so wildly famous.

And there's just been so much speculation about the different kids' partners and how they interact with the family. And Brooklyn Beckham has really never said anything publicly, definitively, that he has a problem with his family. And he broke his silence yesterday in a five Instagram story, black, black background, white writing, so you know it's serious. Spilled so much tea. I've never seen anything like it in my, truly in my whole life. Yeah, it's like he's been bubbling over and he's like, I am finally ready to drag my family. And I like, I like the comments that are like, this is above my pay grade. Like Blakely Thornton called this white nonsense. You know, like at the end of the day, this is like rich, super rich family. The kid is popping off.

You know, like you see both sides of it being like ungrateful Nepo baby. And you also see he is allowed to feel like this about these parents that it's, this is probably not all lies, certainly. You know, he said a lot of things. Like there is really good kind of deep things that were basically like you don't earn love. in my family unless you like promote the family on social media kind of stuff and everything's for show. And then there was these very specific instances, which I just couldn't get enough of like what happened at their wedding, him and Nicola's wedding. I mean, I think the general response I've seen from most people is like the world is on fire. We don't have time for y'all. Like we have I mean, I'm still entertained by this. And it's entertainment. I don't want to subscribe to that. Yeah. I mean, and also no matter how rich and successful you are, yes, I know it eliminates a lot of

problems in your life day to day that people do not have to deal with if they don't have your level of income. But it does seem like somebody who feels really traumatized by having grown up in this family and what has gone on publicly and that love is traded in currency with how much you like adhere to the family and post on social media and publicly act like you guys are this perfect unit. And I understand him feeling a little traumatized by it and that they're humiliating his wife publicly. I mean, I get it. I get feeling like this. Yeah. So let's talk about some specifics if you guys haven't read at all, but I highly

recommend you go find it. I mean, I screenshot them all. They stayed up. He didn't take them down and they were on shit you should care about as an Instagram account that has them all. But the wedding stuff was just tea on tea. So he said that his mom, Victoria Beckham,

canceled his wife's dress in the 11th hour, forcing her to find a new dress the day before the wedding. Like, canceled the dress. If that is true, that is like monstrous. That is diabolical. And then the other thing that I think stuck out the most is they've said they were adamant on him signing away his name, basically. And at the wedding, he said his mom hijacked the first dance, which had been planned

weeks in advance. And he said, in front of our 500 wedding guests, Mark Anthony, called me to the stage wherein the schedule was planned to be my romantic first dance with my wife, but instead my mom was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. And I guess then we saw a duma. I want to see this video. So I've never wanted a video more in my entire life.

We need a documentary on this. Someone on Dumas, I put Sennon, a blind in when they were there and Nicola ran out in tears. But like, I'm sorry, was Victoria Beckham literally like, Was she grinding? She was grinding on her son, hijacked, Mark Anthony is there. Like, what is it actually happening?

Like, again, this is above my pay grade. I do never want to be in those circles with people, like, of that status and wealth. I have no interest. I just, I'm trying to understand, like, what happened here? Because, like, what do you mean inappropriate? Was your mom, like, grinding on you to a Mark Anthony song? Your bride ran out crying? I don't know.

It's so insane that somebody would dance with their mom is like a first dance. People dance with their dad. Is the dad the first dance? Or you dance to your partner for the first dance? The father-daughter dances when? You typically go in, you dance with your partner first, and then it's a father-daughter and a mother-son. Could you see yourself, if Shishonk had wanted to dance with his mom first, would you have

run out of your own wedding crime? So, yeah, like, no, I would have went up to the DJ. Mike, cut the music. This is not happening. You would cut the music on him and his mom. Excuse me, Mark Anthony, could you cut the music? Mark Anthony, yeah, Michael Larry, Mark Anthony, same thing. I've never wanted to see a video more in my whole life.

And this is just all these like very, I mean, you can see, this is so much, like, celebrities are just like us, the mom and the bride fighting, and they're trying to, like, vibe for, like, number one spot in the son's life. And, like, the mom pulls the dress at the last minute, and she's, like, fucking with everybody. Like, the way that my whole family acted during my brother's wedding was so crazy.

And so, like, it brings out the most psychotic versions of everybody and what they think they are owed and what they deserve. and my psychotic stepmom yelling at everybody. I, it's just, it's so crazy to imagine people of this level of, like, wealth. I know. And British people? Yes. It's like, that show The Girlfriend, if you guys watch that, this is like, if you're,

if you're looking for more, if you're looking for us more content like this, check out The Girlfriend. I love that show. I want to know who paid for the wedding. So his, his, okay. So there was articles back then. I don't know this is necessarily true, but there was article. She comes from a billionaire family.

I want to jump in. The Peltz family is richer than the Beckham family significantly. So we're talking to multi, multi-millionaire family versus billionaire family. And so there's certainly a narrative that he's like, fuck my family. He took her name. So they share the same surname. So they're both Peltz, Beckham, which I don't have a problem with. I think that's fine.

And then the whole family is the same name, whatever. But I think it's very funny that he's like, fuck my millionaire family. I'm going to take the name of this billionaire family and be with them. Like, that's like a funny thing. I saw, I mean, I guess all speculation, but around the time of the wedding that, like, the Beckham's wanted to help pay for stuff, and the Peltzes were like,

we don't need y'all's money. We don't need your millionaire dollars. And then maybe, like, Victoria Beckham was like, well, I'll contribute by doing the dress. And then she was like, never mind, I don't need to do this. Wait, I have dying thinking about this and, like, what Victoria Beckham went behind their back and booked Mark Anthony.

Like, Mark Anthony was, like, hiding in the wings. And they were, like, the first dance Mark Anthony comes out, and, like, the peltses don't know that he was there. Like, I'm just picturing that type of drama. They're a level of like fame and power that's like inconceivable, but not really in America. I'm really getting off on the Beckham's being like, we want to contribute and they're like, save your money. We don't need your money. They could do a hundred million dollar wedding.

It would matter to them. But you don't really see people be this public. So I'm assuming this will be a developing story and the Beckham's will respond. Well, have they yet? So I saw an interview with David Beckham, but I don't think it was like this morning. I think they ambushed him coming out of something. Yeah, there was, I saw an interview with him that about like, you know, kids are going to fuck up and post stuff on social media. But I think it was an older interview.

I don't think they have responded. Let me just check Victoria Beckham's Instagram story. Because I'm just, when she was posting about Cruz, it was prior to the onslaught from Brooklyn. But let me just check it on her. Okay, she has no story posted. I mean, they're really in damage control mode, obviously. I don't think this does much to their. legacy or their fortune.

I don't know. They're fortune, no. Rich, famous people are fucked up and that's, they always will be and they're going to have family drama, but you just don't see someone expose their family like this. People have been knowing how fucked up they are, by the way. So this isn't like, oh my God, I thought they had a perfect family. This has been years of this. Okay.

I wonder if their response is going to be a very like British cuth, just like we're very disappointed at his feelings and we will deal with his private. Privately. Yeah. And 100%, if anything, it will be after a lot of reflection. We'll ask Amanda Dutla to write it for them. We've gotten rid of our son. We have three other kids.

They rank their kids. You have four kids. Yeah, yeah. One wants to just go be with the richer family. Just set him free. Okay, so that was your Instagram story report. That's what it should have been. All right, 2026, new year.

Let's start a new business. You know, if there's one thing you've always wanted to, build and you kept putting it off. How different could your year look if you just started right now?

It just gets better and better with new technology and AI and everything. And it's so wonderful. We don't know any businesses that aren't on Shopify. So if you're hungry for the chance to become your own boss, it is time to take your ideas and head on over to Shopify today. Go to Shopify.com slash GGE to get started today. We promise you'll be so happy that you did. Okay. So this 2016 trend swept social media. And it was basically just posting like, I mean, I did it. My caption was, did someone say 2016? You know, basically I heard we're running it back to 2016 and you would post a collection of photos. And I think it started technically with like a TikTok filter.

there was a vibe about that time, just like the way things kind of felt. That blue pretty filter, yes. Well, just like there was like, yeah, kind of an aesthetic. It wasn't like, I mean, this was only 10 years ago. This wasn't like 2006.

Like, all my photos had that blue pretty filter, don't you think? Um, I mean, I just think, I had to really wean myself off of that. People had to have a talk with me about it.

Yeah, people, everything kind of had like a bluish, hazy hue to it. You know, this was like Snapchat filters, flower crown, dog filter days,

you know, like that's when it all kind of started. But I think then whether you saw that, filter or not people just took it and ran with it and like obviously 2026 is a dumpster fire and like let's take it back to 2016 and I love doing the trend and my lead photo was me at a Bernie Sanders rally. I feel like it's one of my biggest flexes. I was a Bernie girl back in 2016. I wish what could have been.

And then obviously I was a Hillary supporter when she got the nomination. But I think it's like an interesting year because it was the year everything changed for the worse. I mean, it really was like when Donald Trump ran and won the election that year, that was the beginning of all of this. That was the beginning of the dismantling of our democracy and all of the normalizing of all the hate and the violence. And that's when it started. But before that, it was like so hopeful. You know, I mean, we were dealing with his shit and you're starting to realize, like, people you're hanging out with aren't seeing what you're seeing, you know. But it was like, we might have a female president and the vibes were high.

And I just think it was like such a roller coaster, but it was Beyonce Lemonade and it was the chain smokers. I don't know. The music was so good. And it was a very, it was a transformational year for me. That's when I left Atlanta after 11 years and decided to move to New York. And I broke up,

I got out of this toxic relationship. And like that was probably my most transformational year of my life. To me, and what I've read. so much is that like social media was just very different back then and I mean not not political at all but like social media is always going to be performative it has been since day one it's always been look at me look what I have look how great my life is but it felt less heavily produced 10 years ago there was less face tune there was just as many filters probably I just it felt a little more authentic it felt a little less ramming down your throat look where I am look what I did look what I have look at my relationship it just was a lighter time and so it was before TikTok it was a little bit more authentic it was It was before, I mean, I hate to be like so, like, I'm so old now. But like, I feel that a lot of things have been ruined by TikTok. I mean, you can't go anywhere in the West Village any day of the week now in New York City without waiting in line for an hour and 20 minutes to get a bagel or a bubble tea or a sandwich.

And it's just like, it was better times. I just enjoyed being able to, like, have access to, like, travel and enjoy things in, like, cities that I really liked without waiting in line for four hours to have this, like, mediocre thing because people had to put it on TikTok. Like I it does age me to say these things. It just, I had a different relationship to social media 10 years ago,

which just felt a little bit like it hadn't ruined the world yet. Yeah, I mean, that's an interesting take, obviously, because like it's also blown businesses up and you see so much good out of it. But though,

so many things changed. Yeah, like travel-wise, that's interesting. Because when I started going to the Hamptons in 2017 and 2018, like Montau was totally different than it would be like 20 now, you know,

it's like the club. It's like bottle service on the bay. You know, like it's just things change. Like social media changed a lot of things for the worst in that way too. But yeah, it felt less all about influencers, all about consumerism. Obviously we didn't have AI like we do now. And so it did feel more authentic.

And, you know, what we would feed post. I mean, also, you and I didn't have this platform. And so I was still a quote unquote influencer. But when I did the trend, I was like everything I posted, like these were feed posts. Like I just fucking sent it. And I think 2016 might have been when the Instagram story. started in those in that span of time. Well, when I was talking about earlier when I said we'll talk about the 2016 trend earlier, I do think Instagram stories started around 2015. Yeah. So it was just like,

we would just, if we had something to put on Instagram, you'd have feed post it. And I hate to like lean into this like back in the day used to be better because every 10 years, everybody's going to look back and be like, those were better times. I'm sure 2016 had a million dumpster fire moments. I'm sure there was a ton of terrible things going on back then and people were upset. People felt like, I see all this stuff online that I can't have. I can't afford. and that feels bad. But, and I do think to your point, you know, it's a net positive.

It promotes businesses. It helps people grow. It's given all these people careers, you know, that would have had to previously do other things. I think all these people were able to print money as influencers. I think that's a good thing. But it just felt like a different time on social media. I mean,

shit is so bleak right now, you know, like we still had a democracy then. I mean, you're taking it from like a social media angle. I'm taking it from political angle. But I think in general it was lighter. And yes, a ton of terrible things happened in 2016, like they happen every year.

I saw this think piece. thing pieces, ruin everything. Can we just enjoy something for five fucking minutes? But it was just like the vibes where all this stuff happened. It's like, all that stuff happens every year. Can you just like let us live? And then I saw one other thing that was like, everybody's talking about 2016, but what about some love for 2018?

Put respect on 2018's name. I was like, is this rage? We'll do that in 2020. I just, I didn't really understand the think pieces about this. I was like, can't we just enjoy that people are posting these ugly photos of their skinny jeans and their no eyebrows and their bad haircuts from 10 years ago? rage bait.

We'll do 2018 in two years. We'll do it soon. 2018, I'll have its turn. Okay, one thing I never did in 2016 that I have really seen is that skinny black choker. I feel like you'd probably did that. Fuck, yeah. I never did it.

I don't know what, like, how I missed that. Was I just in the South? Actually, I had like eight sizes. I had like a whole like piece of paper that had like every size of like thickness, a black velvet choker. Yes. Like, I don't know how this passed me by. Like, as Kristen Cavalry posted it.

Like, hell yeah. Everyone was in these chokers. I think I want to bring chokers back. I think I was just in the south. Like, we were doing something different. I felt like so naughty and like spicy. I was like, ooh, I'm bringing my choker out tonight. I was always in a fur vest.

Was that 2016? Yeah. I fucked with fur. I still fuck with a fur vest. Still think they're kind of cute. But I think we always will look back in the past and be like, it was easier times. I don't know.

I'm sure there was terrible things happening then also. So I don't remember 10 years ago feeling as triggered by people online. Like today I will actively like block, not block, but I'll actively mute people and follow people to just make me feel a certain way about myself and my life and my body and my relationship status and things like that. And I don't remember feeling as triggered by what other people have 10 years ago. Today it feels like it is an avalanche of like, buy this thing I have. Here's this link. Do this thing I get to do. Yeah.

I mean, there's so many different things that felt different back then. I mean, we were different people too, but the normalizing of like the vitriol that people's view on social media has just gotten worse with every year. You know, I'm not saying that didn't exist before Trump, but it just became much more acceptable. And the division really became so much more glaring. And just that was the beginning of the end, you know. And we talk about this. We don't need to deep dive on this. But it just was like that was the year when everything changed.

And a lot of people saw the writing on the wall. But we can still look back and celebrate and I love nostalgia more than anyone. And so I really did like the trend. And I liked remembering like that's the first time I started caring about politics. Also, I think a lot of people felt that way. Of course I voted. I loved Obama all that. But caring where you're like, oh my God, we have to like really step up so this terrible thing doesn't happen.

And I never went to a political rally before the Bernie rally. And I just really got involved. So there's a ton of things that happened. It was a, I think it was a really transformational year and I support the trend. Yeah, I didn't post anything. Maybe I will want this episode drops. Post your chokers. I'll do an Instagram story.

Yeah. Okay. Thank God. I've been foaming with the mouth to talk about this. Tom be Lies, season three is out. Episode four came out two days ago. I'm having a roller coaster with this season. I mean, it is one of my favorite shows of all time.

I loved the book. I was so excited for this season. It has taken a bit of a turn this season. It is so dark. And the first two seasons, Yes, they were heavy. Obviously, Stephen killed somebody. But it felt...

You always forget that. You do, you just forget. It felt a little lighter. There was more sex scenes. Oh, right, yeah. I think it has progressively gotten darker. I mean, you have this relationship between Bree and this teacher last season,

which, I mean, he really is a predator. I know. Yeah, like, not that he wasn't before. He was grooming her and everything. But now you're like, oh, he's really... This isn't a one-off. He's going after freshmen. You know, like barely legal.

And his wife, who's a professor, sanctions this. Yeah, exactly. So they're both really predatory. And so that's, that, you know, you hate to see it. This season, I don't know. It's just, I used to really enjoy, like, the, really, the toxicity between Stephen and Lucy and, like, who's going to do what to who next. And it's gotten, like, so sick and dark.

And there's been a lot of talk. I've seen people being like, well, Lucy's just as bad as him. And I don't, I don't feel that way at all. I think he seems like a really dangerous individual. she seems like just a really lost kid. Yeah, she is making terrible decisions. She can't get out of her own way, but she is not the same.

He is like a mentally ill psychopath who will like stop it nothing to get revenge on someone, much like our president, the same. So if you're watching him, you see the correlation. But I find it like hard to watch. And I also don't think he's hot. So that's even harder for me. Like I think he looks like a.

penis. I hate his hair cut. I can't believe you think he's hot. You guys have to be in these comments. Please, God, let us know. I find him repulsive. Because of his character, I really hate. It's not like dragging this actor's looks, but I actually don't find him attractive and with the character too. I find him really hard to watch on screen and it would be a little bit more palatable for me if he was hotter to me. I think he is the appropriate level of good looking for the show because I don't think he is an objectively gorge. Riggily is supposed to be like this really sexy. He looks great this season. I mean, Evan, Evan, too. Evan and Rigley. Both of them are so beautiful. But like, it's gotten so hot. I think that like I really enjoyed the sex scenes with Stephen and the

push and pool of the toxicity. And, you know, I think we can all relate to these really toxic, not that level. Toxic relationships from really young and you make crazy decisions for a guy that's like so bad for you. And I just, I liked the push and pool, but when, so spoilers ahead. Yeah. Okay. So in the third episode, when he films her confessing to faking this rape, it's so sick and dark. The show took a different tone to me after that. That scene, that's what I've seen online is this crossed a line. And that's okay. Whatever they want to do. I mean, there's always been, there is a theme of rape throughout. There's murder. I mean, there's, there are all these dark themes. But that felt so depraved. Like they really ramped it up. And episode four, I was like, they're not going to continue on that road. I think they know a lot of people can't stomach that. So I think that was probably the sickest scene we'll see.

And it'll go from there. And then obviously when he releases the tape at whatever point, like we will see that story arc. But like I was watching it. Like, I can't take much more of this. It's hard for me to watch. It makes me feel bad. Episode four brought me back.

Yeah. So what I like about this season is that like Lucy and Stephen are almost like secondary characters. They are the through line. And they're like the purpose. for a lot of things, but, like, Brie has really, like, pulled ahead as one of the main characters in Pippa, and I'm, like, really enjoying watching, like, Pippa's story. And Diana is, like, she's my favorite watch of this season, and I didn't know they were going to give her such, like, main character energy. I am, when they, when she opened her book and there was a pregnancy test,

I was like, what is this going to be? I love, she's going to have a kid with Steven, so fucking stupid. This girl who's 21 years old is supposed to go to law school, and I just, I love her energy about it. She's like, I'm going to have orthodox. This is going to be the best day of my life. Yeah. She was loose-lipped about it, though. She was telling everybody. I mean, she talks about it in such a casual way.

I was like, once she was telling Molly, I was like, oh, no, girl. It's getting back to everybody. But like, I think having an abortion, everybody digested differently. I think a 21-year-old college student who is pregnant by a sociopath, that's not a child you bring into the world. I like the energy of like, I'm going to, you're a terrible person and I'm going to enjoy taking care of this. But, and of course. And obviously, we support. abortion and women's decisions, but like, why, how were you not doubling up on birth control

fucking Stephen? Truly. How could you not? I'm not, I'm just like Diana. Like, I would have been IUD pill and condom with that man. Diaphram. Yeah, it's like all the things. And I love the storyline of Diana and Pippa.

I just like, I really feel for Pippa. They probably like grew up feeling really different. And like she wasn't like her peers. And she's this like really transformed. of sexual experience with a woman finally. I'm just like, I'm so into it. I'm so into like Wrigley being in love with Bree. I know.

I love it. Bree's haircut was a choice. What are we doing? What is this like mom? No offense to the moms. You guys know what I'm saying. It's giving like parody mom sketch on S&L haircut. Like it's giving like Karen wig.

Can I speak to a manager? I don't understand. It looks like a joke. It looks like a joke. It's growing out in the weirdest way. Like it is so. bad. Like, I can't, that choice is so crazy. Why do they make her do that? It's like Miranda on Sex in the City. Why do they do that to her? But Miranda always had short hair. Like, I see what you're saying,

but we're rewatching Sex in the City right now. So I'm just mad about Miranda right now. Yeah, I don't know. I think Miranda could pull it off. She was always going to have a shortcut. But you got to go back to first season. It was crazy. But Bree's hair is too thick for that cut. It does look like a helmet. It's like a helmet. It's, it's giving helmet. It's getting, she's, it looks like the kind, like, I don't want to see you when you would wake up with a haircut like that. Like, Miranda had fine hair. Like, it laid right. Like, like, Brie's hair is always looking like she just woke up. It's not good. It's not good. No one, I listen, I was alive back then and no one had haircut like that. Okay. So do you have any predictions for the season? Um, obviously we're going to see this Brie and Regley storyline play out. I am dying

to see how they don't work out. Like I'm dying to see how like they clearly have a thing. They're at her wedding and they're gazing at each other across the dance floors. I'm curious how that happens and then it goes into Evan because it's Pippa doesn't even like him anymore. You know, so that she wasn't the one standing in the way. So I'm very curious what happens there. And like he is going to release this tape. And they said this one point, was it present day? Like whatever Pippa said to Lucy, she said, he ruined your life. sophomore year or whatever. Like this has been foreshadowing that it's going to be the worst we've seen in terms of whatever Stephen does to Lucy. And when I'm watching this, I just have to tell myself,

like, it's okay. We've seen them in 2015. They're at a wedding. They have sex. Everything's fine. God, no. I know. But like everything's, everyone's alive and well. Yeah. And Lucy, she got through it, you know, but this is, I think it's going to be so dark. And obviously we can see why. Should go back to the Earl of Max. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Really the web of lies is. kind of crazy. She's now lied to all these people that she got assaulted. She's lied to Brie about it. So you're thinking like there's going to be this crazy watershed moment. Like how does this happen? In like the first season, I think Wrigley and like the first episode of the first season says, I think it's time for me to let go of this crush that I've had. And you think it's about

Pitbull. I've all, I always thought it was about Brie. Oh, you have? Yes. Oh, interesting. For weeks. For weeks I thought. Not always not my whole life. But I said weeks ago that I think that it's going to be about Brie. Because you wouldn't say this 10-year, crush about somebody that you actually You dated. That's true. That's fair. So I don't know. We won't deep dive every single week. We'll probably wait until the finale. But I'm back in. So there are people that are dating on the show, which we find really fascinating.

So Stephen and Lucy, Grace Van Patton, and whatever the fuck Stephen's name is. Jackson White. Jackson White. This would be the last couple that are whose name I know. Are a couple. And Evan and Molly. Real couple. A real couple. And Reglian Pippa. Regulian Pippa are a real couple. And Oliver and the show's created.

real couple. Yeah. So Megan Oppenheimer, who was adapted the book to TV. Oliver, who the actor, is her husband. And, like, I don't think he was supposed to continue. I think that's what they were saying, that he was only supposed to be in one season. They announced after season two that he was not coming back. Yeah.

And so I think she was like, I don't know. I like having my husband around. I like keeping him working. She's like, I'm going to keep on the payroll. This is so interesting. And then we will move on from this. But so Iris Appetal, who is Judd-Eppel's daughter. Yeah.

Who plays the student that Oliver is having his new affair with. Obviously, her sister is Maad Apatel, who's on Euphoria. Grace Van Patten's sister is also on Euphoria. Oh, that's an interesting connection. And that brings us to headlines. So Euphoria Season 3 trailer came out. It broke records with 100 million views in two days. I mean, I think people have just been really edging for this.

They really want it. Yes. So the last season, the season two finale was in 2022. Okay. So people have waiting for this. I am sat for this season. I'm really excited to start it. I truly can't wait.

So it premieres April. 12th. You've never watched it. I never watched it. And I really, we're so far in the future in the show that like, I don't really feel the need to go back. I'm just jumping in season three. Yeah, you're saying it like, you've been watching it. Oh, no, no, no. You're starting it. You're starting it. You're

starting this show. But I'm starting with season three. Okay. I might go back. I might like season three and be like, I'm curious. But I don't know if I need to. Yeah. It's not for me. I tried it and it's just, it's a little too dark. Okay. And then just a shout out to my alma mater, Indiana University. They pulled off the most improbable turnaround in

college football history to when its first national championship. They are the first team to go 16 and 0 in 132 years. What? Yes, they're the only, they're the second team in college football history. Yale is the only other team that's ever done it. Insane. Did you even follow this season at all? My dad texted me the other day, you got to watch the IU game.

And I was like, why would I do that? So when I went to, I went to Indiana and we just, we weren't a football school. I mean, IU was a huge basketball school. Like, it is so huge for basketball. Bobby Knight. it's never been a football school in any way. They would give away tickets to the games. Totally.

After the first quarter, you could just go them for free. Yeah, there's football schools and there's basketball schools. So I just, it's so funny, because we were talking about it last night when they won the championship.

I'm like, do you think Rain even knows this? My dad told me. But I was like, in her defense, she didn't graduate. I did not graduate. So I guess it's not really my alma mater. It's where I hung out for four years,

plus the summer, I never graduated. If you guys were new here, I had one class short of graduating. Oh, my God. But congrats to the Hoosures and my fellow sort of alumni. Okay. So one more headline, ludicrous pulls out of Kid Rock tour after backlash, and he says

the booking was a mistake. So there is a little MAGA festival happening. Kid Rock's Rock the Country Festival is going to go to eight small towns, eight lucky small towns around the country. Small towns is so embarrassing. Okay. Well, that's their whole thing. You know, so Kid Rock, obviously, oh, it's celebrating two.

150 years of freedom, by the way. So 7076, you know, they're doing their whole thing, whatever. Like, we're free. Okay. So Kid Rock is the headliner at Jason Aldeen, Blake Shelton, jelly roll. That was tough to see. Another one that I was upset about Creed. Because I know I'm new in my, I'm in my Creed era. I don't think I've heard about Creed in 20 years and you bring it up every week now. Well, I was back on Creed and now I'm like, oh no, we're going to, whatever. Well, aren't we decided? I thought Kid Rock is like highly aligned with like Donald Trump and MAGA, right? He performed at the He's the guy. He's the artist. He's the guy.

Yeah, like this is a MAGA festival. Clearly, you know, like Brooks and Dunn, Miranda Labrard, all these people, whatever. And then people really honed it on ludicrous and Nelly. And I think we all knew Nellie had kind of been involved in, he's done all his country clabs. And I think

politically no one thought he was progressed. I don't know. Nellie was not as surprising, but ludicrous. People went crazy. Where's Nicky Minaj? I know. Nicky Minaj, that's such a good call. She's definitely going to replace Ludacris. How is Nikki Minaj not on this? She can't say it enough how much she's. That is so funny. She's going to replace Ludacris. So I was really upset when I saw this. I mean, ludicrous has been an unproblematic king for

decades. Obviously, my connection with Atlanta. Like, I've always been such a fan and he's so generous and he comes across really kind and he's just like about his fans. And so there was tons of backlash and he pulled out and he said it was a mistake that he was booked in the first place. And I want give him the benefit of the doubt. I want to believe that like his management was like, you should do this festival. It's going to be huge. You'll get a bunch of money and he just agreed to it. But like, you never know. You can't really trust anybody. You shouldn't. Isn't you an Atlanta guy? Yeah. And did somebody maybe just say like, it's a festival in the south. It's going to be small towns in the south. And he was like, I'm the Georgia guy. I hope so. But I think if anyone said like, hey, it's kid rocks,

rock the country tour. Hello. Obviously, Magifest, 2026. So I want to believe it was a mistake. I want to believe that they threw his name on there to stir shit up. And now Nikki Minaj will take that slot. So anyway, I'm glad he pulled out. But, you know, I just hope so much that it wasn't that he was like, oh, I'm all in on this. And I'm down with this. And then his fans lashed out.

And he was like, oh, I guess it was a bad move. I just, I want to think that's. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm a big fan. I always been a fan. I just, I think people's management should be booking him on stuff. Yeah. They're like, it's down the street.
