Welcome to The Snack, a lighter serving of Girls Got to Eat. This is a Dear Media production. Enjoy. Hi, guys. We missed you on Monday. We really did. Maybe that's why my week is so bad. We miss so much on Monday.

I miss the country. I miss you guys. We lost so much. But we're here. We're back at Gravitas. I just went to the bathroom. The toilet seat. The heat was up today.

I know. It's nice. literally the room's a little cold and I was like kind of partially went to the bathroom just to warm up warm my butt up. I get really cold lately. I don't, I've been keeping my house at 72. Okay. But you know what's interesting? I love a heated toilet seat, but I hate a seat warmer in a car. I don't. I feel like I'm peeing. It's a weird sensation. Like I just feel like those things are just to go together. Like, I'm not supposed to be driving and my butt's warm. Okay. People love it. People think I'm crazy. I hate the way it feels. I don't like it.

Like if I even get into an Uber or something, I'm like, turn the heat. He's like, you want the seat heater off? I'm like, yeah, I feel like I'm pissing my pants. I feel like I want my hands, my feet, my head to be comfortable, comfortably warm. I don't care if my butt's warm. I will say sometimes what's nice is a seat air conditioner. No swamp ass. You have that?

That's an option. Like it makes your butt cold? Yeah, I mean, nothing worse than getting your car with like a swampy ass. What will they think of next? All right, well, we have a great episode for you guys. So much has happened. There's so much tea. We'll thank our partners really quickly and then just get right into it.

We're just giving them a shot. We're glad to be here again. Someone said, like, someone commented on YouTube that it looks so sexy. It is sexy in here.

I mean, if I describe this club in one word, it is sexy. Glam. It's so nice. I'm like, proud to have people here. So proud. All right, we want to kick it off with our first report. It's a breakup. report and it is heavy.

It's really heavy. I don't take any pride. I feel like sad. There's people breaking up. But these were some big shockers. Long, long, time marriages. I meant heavy. Like, there's a lot.

The list is long. Oh, I meant like the length of those marriages. Oh. Or, okay, yeah. Both. All right. Yeah, let's just breeze through some of the, like, big names, long-term divorces, I guess. Divorces.

So Jessica Simpson and her husband and Eric Johnson split after 10 years of marriage. I think of three or four kids. I just, you know, I was rude for her. I just like, I love her. I love her queen. I just, I love what she's built outside of music and fashion. I think she's just such an entrepreneur and I hate to see it, but I hope she's happy. I mean, I know their whole story.

We read that book. I know. Didn't we both read it like during quarantine? Yeah. Yeah. So it's like read all about like kind of the issues with her and Nick's relationship and how then she met this guy. Like, I know the way they met at like a party.

Like I just remember it. You know what I proud. I pray that she does not let John Mayer back into her life. Oh, my God. Because that was such a toxic relationship for her. I almost forgot about the John Mayer era. I feel like huge celebrities still like do this fuckboy shit. Like, I feel like he saw this report and texted her like, you up.

Yeah. What was she his sexual... Napalm. Napeum. I forgot that. What a fucking freak. He just, like, fucked with her for so many years. If you guys haven't read her book, it's...

We love her book. Yeah. So check it out. Okay. And then another Jessica. This is the Jessica report. Jessica Alba. So Cash Warren, I don't know who that is really. I don't know a lot about her marriage. He is Jessica Alba's husband. That is who is. One of these, or was it both of them, were announced during, like, a big news day or something. Like, I was seen that some of these got kind of swept under the rug. Yeah. So I've seen speculations of their breakup for years. They're just not a very public couple. So I think people have like speculated. They have three kids. They were together for like 20 years, which in Hollywood land, they might as well have been together for 200 years. I mean, 20 years is a lot.

That is a long time. I mean, good for them. That's a long, successful marriage. That's sad. It's something to be proud of. We've lost it that long. Okay. And now we have some children broke up.

Wait. Isn't Kyraver like 12? It's really hard to think of her as an adult. I know she's a consenting adult, but she's like a kid. She's Cindy Crawford's kid. Isn't she like in her late 20s? What? No, she was like 20.

Kaya Jordan Gerber. She's 23. Okay. Okay. Yeah. A kid. I feel like this is another couple that, like, you don't really hear that much about, even though they're like her and Austin Butler are such like mega stars.

He's Elvis. You know, I just, you don't hear about them a lot. So their breakup is kind of just like, you don't know that much about them. They were together three years. And then there was speculation recently. People were saying she was hooking up with Marcello. Can people just... Everyone is hooking up with Marcella.

Why is Marcello the scapegoat for every relationship ending? Like, what is happening? Who anointed him to this? Like, every person that breaks up, they're like, you know who he... They're probably fucking. That's Marcello. Page to swear about Sabrina Carpenter, Gaya Gerber.

Like, he's the new Pete Davidson. I was watching a clip of Paige from Giggly Squad, and she was like, I have never even solo texted him. I don't have a single solo text. We're all on this group chat from Hannah Burner's Bachelor at Party with Marcello and Paige and all these people, and she was like, I've never spoken to him outside of the Bachelorette Party chat. He's in my phone.

When I programmed him in my phone, either I fat-fingered it or it auto-corrected to Marcello. Marcello? No. He's Marcello and mine. But that would be spelled the same. Okay, go ahead. Sorry.

No, that's going to stay in. That's the same spelling. He's in mine as Marcella, like with an A. But his name, I have an H in there. March. March. That's not how you spell his name. You spelled it March?

March. Like the Women's March. Yeah, like the Women's March or like the month. Marchllo. And you thought that's how he spelled it. Maybe. Who's to say? I was in Miami and I was drinking.

Okay, got it. Because I think you could also say Marcello for the way he spells it. Marcello with C.H. is not a name. Okay. At first I was like, am I crazy? So I was like, is how you spell it? No, I haven't been with Marcello. Anyways.

You have them in your phone to something funny too. We were drunk. Hello. There are multiple matches for Marcello via AI, including an Italian restaurant. A.J. and a jeweler. DJ Marcella Not a Latin comedian And Marcello the jeweler

Again Marcello's restaurant Marcello's restaurant in Wichita Traditional Italian cuisine In Wichita Kansas If you guys are in Wichita Let us know if you've been to Marcello's

Not the Wichita It looks nice They've got this chicken parma on the website Since 96 They've been holding it down in Kansas Catch Ashley in Kansas Catch me in Kansas Okay, so yeah, Kai Gerber, I'm sure people will say she's with Marcello, but, you know, another one of those rumors.

And then the biggest, or wait, you had one more, right? Well, so people, I mean, always speculate about Justin Bieber and Haley breaking up. And so people were saying that they had broken up and as evidence used the fact that he unfollowed her on Instagram. Oh, my God. And then he went on to Instagram and posted the funniest. It's just, it's a white screen, it's just a couple black words. It says someone on my account unfollowed my wife. Shit is getting suss out here.

Oh my God. Mark Zuckerberg? He's just, he's just trying to kick up some drama. Are they liberal? They're Canadian. Both of them? Haley Bieber, I don't think, is Canadian. No, she's a Baldwin.

Baldwin's can be from Canada. I just don't. The Baldwin brothers are American, I thought. But he, yeah, went on there. He debunked it and was. It's basically just like I was sabotaged. By who? I can't even understand.

What's happening over at Instagram and meta, it's just like, of course they would do this. I do think that. It's a diversion. I know. America's couple. Canada's couple. I was thinking like if I had an Instagram following that big, like who would I give access to it? Like, Tessa has access to our like girls got to Instagram.

I feel safe. I feel protected. But like if you have like, I don't know, 100 million followers, like I, I, how I, how Who am I given that password to? Yes, I am not a celebrity, but never will a person have access to my DMs. I am talking so much shit in those DMs. I trust us, but she does not need to see that side of me. Like the amount of DMs I'm talking shit in, no one can see that.

I'm a bad person on the inside. Even I was telling you who thought that I was having just a private fight I was having between myself and this person in my car by myself. And you were like, that was mean. I am mean on the inside. No, the DMs are, the shit talking in the DMs is a scary place. No one can have access to that. Well, I will say, though, like, well, I don't know what's, I don't know what huge celebrities. He's 300 million followers, by the way, 294 million.

I don't know how many, like, private DM conversations, somebody at that level is. No, I'm saying, that's a celebrity. Like, I don't think that they're talking. I don't think that's, you never know, though. Like, are celebrities real deal celebrities, like, sending other people's post and be, like, can you believe her? They have to be right. Can you believe him? I feel like we all have, like, the head exploding emoji when we hear that, like,

celebrity watches like a reality TV show or something, but you're like, they're still people to watch something. Yes. Like Zendaya, what recently came out is like a love is blind stand? Yes. Like, can you imagine being those people who they're just regular people and they're like, Zendaya's watching me. She's watching me make out with this fucking idiot.

But I think like that somebody has to do something, you know? 100%. And I think that's a lot of celebrities watch reality TV is like an escapism. Well, if you're a huge celebrity, reach out to us, a lot of somebody. the show. The next one, I am dumbfounded by. I don't even know what to say because of all the details surrounding it. And it's Matt James and Rachel Kirkconnell. So I saw this. I couldn't wait for you to wake up so I could discuss it with you. I'm, I, so this is the couple from the Bachelor. Yeah, which they have a like, sorted history. Is that the right word? Checkered, a checkered.

Checkered past. Yeah. And I actually gave Raina the low down on like how it all went down. And, you know, she had, you know, people were making, like, racist accusations and then they broke up, but they got back together. And, you know, I don't really care that much. But my feeling was that they were a pretty strong couple to overcome all of that and get back together. And I told you she had one of the better apologies I've seen and taking accountability and responsibility for what she had done and what people were upset about and stuff like that. So I thought they were a strong couple. But that was, I mean, four years ago. So what they've been just dating, not engaged or anything for four years. And they seem really cute and, like, well-aligned. He's become this, like, food influencer and does all these, like, food-y-influencer videos and travels a lot doing, like, food-influencer videos. She's always in them, and it seems just, like, cute and light and fun. Yeah, I don't really, I don't think I follow. I don't know. I don't watch their way. I don't care for it. But they seem really aligned that they like it, and they seem to have fun together. And when they, and when he announced the breakup, people were

saying that it was some like diversion for the fact that they were actually engaged, which who in the world thought that? That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard of. Like that's like weird psychotic level behavior. But who would, I don't understand. Who does this benefit? That's not a thing. We're going to tell you we broke up and then be like, ha ha, we're engaged.

Gotcha. You're a psycho. You should be in the cabinet with that level of psychotic. Who's ever done that? I don't, I don't even know where this comes from. Like we don't want to be able to know that we're going to spend our lives together. We're just going to let people we broke up. But I do understand the confusion because he posted something.

I'll let you. It's so weird. The verbiage around it. But he posted the breakup announcement and she was still on his Instagram story. They were at a restaurant in London, a pizza place in London. It was the immediate reel. He had just posted the day before. She's in it, eating pizza.

And they're still from like 19 hours ago, she's on his Instagram story. And I do understand, of course, like people do brand deals and you're responsible for those things. But like, it didn't seem like a brand deal. It seemed like a restaurant that they were at. It wasn't a brand deal. I saw, I think, the chicks in the office talking about it, and they know more about those reality show people. And they were like, I don't know if they were speculating or they were saying that typically he's like a later poster. Regardless, because you're an influencer and you know that she's still on your story within the last 24 hours and you post a breakup announcement. Like, you know what you're doing. You know what's on your feed. It's bizarre behavior.

It's wild behavior. And she's saying that he blindsided her with this. Okay. Well, I have theories. Okay. Yes. And of course, we don't know these people. We know people are going to say what they're going to say.

So I'm just telling you what my gut feeling is and kind of based on some of the articles I've read as well. There's a lot of speculation about just him not proposing after four years and her wanting to get married. And I mean, some people have taken this and ran with it. And this is kind of this like, this is why you don't stay a girlfriend for that long. And it's just like there's a point there with, you know, if. What does that mean? Why? let this be a lesson to like make a man commit to you.

It's the vibe of some like TikToks I've been seeing. That's all I'm saying. Like don't let somebody be your boyfriend for four years. If you, there are people that are saying this point is that if you, they know you want to get married and they are unsure about you after a couple years, it's maybe not the best sign. Okay. Drop the ultimatum, sis. So then there's the ultimatum theory. So I did see that a source said that she, again, this is going to be totally made up.

People just make shit up. I can't stress enough, you guys. I can't even think about all the stuff that's just on the internet right now about us. It's just like a blatant, not true thing. And we're a fraction of what these other people have to deal with. But that she had set an ultimatum for the end of the year for them to get engaged. And that's what my gut tells me. And I think that she ultimately stuck to her guns and ended it after the trip.

I think they committed this trip in early January or whenever they took this trip. Maybe the trip was even in 2024. I'm not sure when the trip actually was. probably know, and I'm sorry that I don't know for sure. But she could technically still be blindsided because she thought he was going to propose. Like, I mean, we have a friend who did this. And she had been with this man for a really long time. She wanted to marry him. She wanted to have children with him. She was like, I need a commitment to that we're taking this to the next step and we're starting to family together. They had been together, I mean, close to a decade. And she set an ultimatum for the end of the year. And

she stuck to it. And I mean, we were like, what's going to happen? You know, we were like thinking she might come out with us on New Year's. Like, we literally were like, what's going to happen? And, you know, I respect her decision regardless of whether that's something you would do in your own life. And, you know, they did break up, but these were still living together. I mean, they were still friends. I mean, they'd spent so long together. And I know this is going to sound crazy to a lot of people. But, I mean, these are two really good people that ended this for them was a really mature, amicable way. And so I just say that to be like, I've seen it done. And I don't know. That's, that's what my gut tells me. That started your long history of offering people my apartment to live in.

You're like, I told her she could stay your apartment. Well, because it was the end of 22 when she did that. And then we left for L.A. And I was like, if you need to seek asylum. Do it or an Rana. But yeah, I mean, I love to see somebody, you know, put their foot down and stick to their Gines, and sometimes that is the only route, and it doesn't work out how you hope, but it works out in a way that you don't have to hope and wonder any longer, you know, but if he's a later poster, which I am too, like I almost never post, I don't post at a restaurant that I'm currently at. Yeah.

Not that I'm some huge celebrity. I just don't want to deal with it. Also, I'm trying to be in the moment. I would never post a hotel that I was staying at. Right. Like, I always post later. So that's even stranger that he knew they had broken up and decided to post that. I know.

Right, because, like, again, it would be so different if it was sponsored because you made the content you got posted. You're contractually obligated. Yeah. I read somebody saying, like, you know, they're contractually obligated. It's just a pizza restaurant that they're hanging out at. Yeah, it didn't say like hashtag ad or spawn. Yeah. Yeah.

So if you, if I break up with you, I probably shouldn't be on your Instagram story today. Today, yeah. So I could be completely wrong, but I do feel like he, they had a good relationship. he would have kept that going and she was like, I need to have a bigger commitment from you and this is what the deadline is and she had to do it. And she got that last trip.

If I broke up with somebody and they wrote something that said, Dear Lord baby Jesus. Father God. I had to tell Raynor early that the dad is God and Jesus is the son of God. But also Jesus' dad is Joseph. It's a whole thing. Wait, what?

Oh, wait. What did you say to me? Joseph is like a stepdad. Because Joseph was Mary's husband and Mary was a virgin. Uh-huh. Well, Abraham and Sarah were like 98 when they had Isaac. Is that Jewish people? So Abraham.

There's like the fathers of Judaism. There's like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph. They all had each other. You guys also have a father God. Yeah, well, there's just God. And then God had Abraham. and then God went to Abraham. Abraham is not God's son, but Isaac is Abraham's son.

But Abraham and Sarah were like in their 90s when they had him, which could not happen, just like a virgin birth. Why are we doing religion? No, I could talk about this all day. I posted a stand-up clip once of like, who do you think Jesus' dad was? Because when you were a kid, you did think it was God. I thought it was God. But he is the son of God. But who's even God?

All God's children? That kind of thing. Yeah, that kind of thing. You think I would know better because he is one of ours. Because Jesus and Joseph were both carpenters, which you said a Jew would never. No, we don't do that stuff. We don't, like, I know Jesus was a Jew, but we're like, ooh, we don't want it. Find me a Jewish carpenter.

Is it a task rabbit? Jewish people do not have skills. Listen, I love us, and we are great. It's a lot of things. But I never met a Jewish carpenter besides Jesus is all I'm saying. He was the one and only. I don't, like, when I'm looking for, like, somebody to do carpentry in my house, I don't look up like Jacob Siegel.

Do you think there's like a Jewish guy out there and it's just like his dream to be a carpenter and the only person he can look up to is Jesus who like may or may not be real? Like that's crazy as no one else. Although my contractors were Jewish, but they didn't do the actual work. They hired the people that did the work. They're definitely Jewish contractors. Yeah, my contractors were Jewish. But they didn't do anything. Okay.

They hung out with me. But yeah, they could be, listen. We support everybody all the time. Yeah. Okay. So, yes, his statement, do you want to read it? I'd love to dramatically read it. Yeah.

Okay. I would love to read it because I thought it was what I, I thought what I was reading was a joke. And I definitely did not think it was a breakup announcement. I don't even follow him, so I didn't even know why it was being served to me. And suddenly it just came across my desk. Yeah. Dear baby Jesus. Okay.

I feel like Courtney Kardashian I'm about to do the Travis prayer. Wall of Fire. Wall of Fire prayer. Father God. Why do you have to bring God into this? God is not on Instagram. People have been doing too much of this. People have been doing their prayers on Instagram too much.

They have? Like Chloe, I saw. It's just like God is on an Instagram. God's not real. Okay. Father God, give Rachel and I strength to mend our broken hearts. give us a piece about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Yeah, I would love it because I don't understand it. It does transcend worldly understanding.

No one understands it. Father God, please help us understand. Wait, can you, okay, read me that sentence again. Is he saying that their relationship transcended worldly understanding or that the breakup transcends world of That's a way of interpret it. Like what is, what is he attributing that to? Just one. Just a piece. Just for him. Just just give us, just one. We'll share it. it about... Oh, it wasn't P-E-A-C? It was a piece.

It is P-A-C. I'm saying a piece. A piece about it. It's still fucking stupid. Okay. Give us a piece, one piece each, about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly under... It doesn't make sense.

So what am I attributing the worldly understanding to is... I'm not even going to entertain people who start something with Father God when they're now axes on their story at the same time. It's just like... Father God, I know we just posted. on vacation, having pizza together, but that was sponsored. And I just really need everyone to have worldly understanding. It's funny you called it a piece and they're eating pizza.

A piece of pizza. That was corny and I don't care. No, I loved it. Thank you. I hope you guys are at a piece. I have a piece from Father God. Okay. The next breakup is the woman who thought she was dating Brad Pitt and fake Brad Pitt.

There was a woman in France. The article, it's in variety, it's all over the place, but the title is Brad Pitt's rep speaks out after an awful love scam that cost French woman $850,000. It took advantage of the strong bond between fans and celebrities. So essentially this woman in the French Alps, she... She's 53. Yes. And she was, she had a husband. They were going through a separation.

They were going to separate. She strikes up a conversation with what she thinks is Brad Pitt's mother on Instagram. And she's just like, I guess this woman. was the only person that Brad Pitt's mom could go to for support at this time. And basically it segues into Brad Pitt being sick and in the hospital. And this woman is getting these AI generated photos of Brad Pitt in the hospital. And he basically says he needs money for this operation. He doesn't have access to money because all of his funds are tied up in his divorce with Angelina Jolie.

Meanwhile, she had just gone through a divorce and got a million dollars. So it's very funny that she was like, didn't connect the dots. I'm like, well, I got my money. Why wouldn't he get his? Like, that's just a funny thing. Like it said the person pretending to be the actor ultimately claimed he needed $1 million for a kidney treatment because he was unable to access his bank accounts to do his divorce. Anne, her name was Anne, Anne who by that time was divorcing her husband had received funds from the settlement and gave it all to the scammer. Like she didn't stop to think like, this sounds a little suss.

You know, I want to say, like we can make jokes and stuff like that. And there's a victim here and there's a predator here. And I think it's fucking sick that people do this. Like I just, I want to take it easy on her. I don't know her, you know, her mental state. I mean, she's in her 50s. You know, I think this really shows the dangers of AI. I was kind of thinking of myself, like, would my mom fall for this?

But for some reason, my mom thinks everybody's a catfish, even people who are. She thinks all these catfishes are hitting on her on Facebook and they're actually real men. So she's on the other end of the spectrum. But like, I mean, again, I, it's crazy because you could so easily find out this wasn't Brad Pitt with like, you know, asking literally one person posting one thing somewhere. Hey, is Brad Pitt dying in a hospital? Can someone confirm? No, he's at this film festival. Yes, yes. But she didn't know until he went public with his current relationship that this actually was a scam.

And so this article came out. It went viral and people started, yes, attacking this woman and saying that she cheated on her husband. And she had to say, I didn't, I didn't shoot on my husband. I'm a caring person. This person came to me and needed money. This wasn't like an emotional affair. Leave my husband for this person. She was really attacked online to the point they had to take the article down.

Yeah, and that's what I just hate. Like, can't we just kind of like lightly make fun of this stuff? Like, what do you need to try to ruin someone's life over it? You don't know what was going on in those people's lives. I mean, again, this woman could be a terrible person. Who's to say? But just that, you know, she fell for a con artist. Like, this is, it's gross.

It's victim blaming. Also, I, too, understand that somebody, like, of that generation who doesn't understand AI, that these things can be generated. Like, I, listen, it's crazy that this happened. But, like, I understand there's a world in which, This person is just not that worldly and doesn't understand this is happening. Again, it's still stupid. You could have so easily called the hospital.

Is Brad Pitt there? I mean, it's just like, again, but there's a victim here and there's like an offender. And it's so funny to me because I just think it's so interesting to choose Brad Pitt. That's the most like uncreative, like basic thing. Like that's a list. Like, and she still fell for it. Like I would be so much more creative if I was a scammer. I would go be your C list.

I mean, C list only I'm going. Like that also like there's, you're sitting there and you're like, no one is going to believe I need money at this level. Yeah. That I don't have funds outside of my marriage. Yeah. He was a world famous A-list actor well, well, well, well before Angelina Jolie. Like, you would never believe this.

And also, he's in this publication, variety and a million others every day. Yeah. You could find out what premieres he is coming up, what events he's going to every five minutes. I know she just didn't want to. And so that's what makes you wonder about. someone's mental state, what happened in her divorce. I mean, again, she could be terrible. I don't know.

But it's just like some of these things really give me the ick the way that people treat them. Like, I'm all down to make jokes. But it's just like, you know, media outlets started polling their articles because the online hate and like threats she was getting. Now I'm thinking like, who would I impersonate? Well, I was going to ask you who would be the person that you would just be like, it's probably real. Like, who would be, you'd be so excited about that you would just like.

Reality TV stars? Because you just, you feel like you've access to them. You know, like anybody on like Love Island, Love is Blind, even a Bravo reality show, I still think like, well, actually, all right, let me walk this back. Here's the problem with those people is they all have huge social media followings and they're very active. So it actually cannot be somebody like that. So Brad Pitt actually was an interesting choice because he doesn't have an Instagram account. So there isn't like a 24-hour loop of like what he's doing all the time.

And the star with the mom, I mean, this is sick. And I mean, she's definitely trying to also see if she can get some of the money back from her bank. Like, I don't know what went down with all the transfers. But, I mean, I couldn't just transfer 800K. You can. No, like, someone would flag it. Like, no, you're right. I could.

But I'm saying, like, I think the bank would, I guess they're not going to call you step in. But it's just, like, I think it was too easy for her to do is what she's saying. And so she's trying to, like, take that out on the bank. I don't know. Who's to say? I just, it's sad. This stuff is, like, so sad. but like the nature of this one is wild because it's Brad fucking pit.

I mean, it's interesting because my brain went to like C-list, but those people post all day. And it's really like such a sad story because when you see these scammer stories, like the Tinder swindler and these things that became really huge stories, is that there really is no recourse for it because even though there was coercion, you didn't really give the money to somebody under duress. You weren't diminished capacity. Yeah.

Like all there's not a, I guess there's laws against impersonating other. people, but there's not a lot of recourse. I know, it's a real bummer. And so, you know, just let this be a lesson to talk to your parents about the dangers of AI. I'm also saying there's some good things about AI. It's not all bad, but, you know, the threat, the threat. Well, yeah, well, your mom's fine. We don't have to talk to her. Okay. Yeah, no, she is so good. Like, I, we talked talked about this before, if you guys were, like, knew around here. Like, my mom was, like, showing me her Facebook, and she was like, look at all these scammers and these catfishes. And And she showed me one guy.

I was like, that guy's hot. She's like, oh, she's like, this one is a real one, I think. Like, it's just very funny. Like, her mind automatically goes there. She's on the defense. I love it. Okay, we're going to talk about some of our partners, and then we're going to get back into it.

I am so excited to talk about symbiotica today. Raina, first of all, this is like the, you've been living for it. This is the cool girl supplement. We've been seeing it everywhere. We went to the cutest little. Cool girl brunch place. Yes. Parakeet in San Diego, which is also here.

We love it. vitamin C things like in a basket sitting by the register. And we're talking about that today, but I have been literally, I'm just every day, I'm like, what am I going to put my mouth today? Symbiotica. Like they like sent us a bunch of products to try. So today I was just squeezing 12 drops of this mega oil in my mouth. I want to stay consistent with the vitamin C, the liposomal vitamin C, but I'm also like trying all the other stuff too. And just I'm going to be healthier than ever. That's just what I'm going to do. It's this liposomal vitamin C. It's this vanilla citrus flavor. And if you guys don't really,

know it's a little packet so you can rip it or cut it open and then just squirt it in your mouth. I mean, you can put it in a drink if you want, but it's so tasty to just shoot it back. Like I was, I don't want to drop another name, but prior to finding symbiotica, I was taking a powdered vitamin C supplement and I was like, have to put it in water. I only really wanted to drink it in cold water. No, this is a great delivery. This is so great. Yeah.

And so those mornings when you wake up and maybe if you've drank the night before, you're just feeling sluggish, like I would always want to take one of those powder drinks. and now this is so much easier, so easy to travel with. But I love that vanilla citrus. And this is just going to be great for your immune health, collagen production. Again, the convenient little pouches. And they have so many good products. Like you just get on their site and kind of search by what you're looking for.

Everything is free of seed oils, preservatives, toxins, or artificial additives, which are usually found in supplements. And they have this advanced liposomal absorption technology. Nutrients are delivered safely and efficiently. So, yeah, I've been doing. doing it all. But right now I'm really focused on that, the vitamin C and then the super greens and this omega oil that I just squirt in my mouth. Like, I don't know. It says 12 drops a day. And I'm like, I don't know. It looks crazy. I did it on FaceTime with my fiance other day. He was like, what did you just do? And the flavors are good too. Nothing's going to like gross you out.

You know, just like checking her out. You know, I love these female-founded companies and started by

an advocate for women's health. And she saw firsthand how normal B-O was being misdiagnosed and mistreated. So that's why she started Loomy. It is clinically proven to block odor all day long and control odor for up to 72 hours. And you can get the solid deodorant stick, or you can

So I'm going to be real with you guys. I used to use a toast of coconut. I still have it. It smelled so much like Samoa cookies that like it just made me hungry. And so I still use it, but it made me crave cookies. And I just feel like I smelled so, like, delicious enough to eat. I would definitely like wear it on a date. But I really love the lavender sage and the peony rose.

And there's also just a soft powder scent, minted cucumber. That's a really nice fresh scent. And there's a fresh alpine scent. That's like a sexy man scent, which probably doesn't turn me on. So we just love it so much. I have been using this for quite a while. And I'm really, really into it. I'm into the founder and why she started it.

Okay, so probably the biggest story of the week, TikTok. Another fake breakup.

I mean, fake up. We all thought we were breaking up with, well, people thought they were breaking up with TikTok. This was wild. I mean, TikTok started saying it was going to shut down, and then there were so many questions about like, well, what does this mean? Does the app stop working? Do I immediately have to get everything off of it? Does this just mean I can't download updates?

I mean, people were freaking out, rightfully so, because this is the income and the businesses of millions of people. And so to just sort of say like the Supreme Court is going to uphold this TikTok ban, if you're not familiar, the reason that they're saying that they're doing this because of national security and China having access to our data. and so the Supreme Court upheld the decision and then and then TikTok goes dark on Saturday night. We can talk about it and we'll talk about the funny stuff about it. This was a stunt. This was a diversion.

The reasons they said TikTok was a threat is not real. This was all playing from the start. It is sickening and gross. And this is this TikTok founder is bending the knee to Donald Trump. Like we're in a scary place. And I don't know what the future of TikTok is going to look like, but I'm just going to preface this with saying all that. and then we can talk about it in a lighter way.

I don't, I didn't really feel like this was light. I mean, so many of our friends depend on this for their income. Oh, my God. Totally. Yes, all of it. Like, I just, the political side of it, I just want to get that disclaimer out of the way. And, like, I also thought the, like, stunt wasn't even done right. You didn't even let people miss it.

What, how long was it down? 14 hours? Like, they didn't even let people miss it on a Sunday afternoon evening, Sunday scary scroll. Like, I've slept longer than TikTok. I've watched one show on Netflix longer than TikTok was down. Like, they didn't even, if they would have drawn it out longer, like, I was like, are you, you think that, this is so insulting to the American people. You think we wouldn't see right through this.

And I love that because I think the way that it was all done and having his name and those notifications and that it was, didn't even last 24 hours, people are like, this was a fucking stunt. You think we're stupid. And I love to see people being woke to that. But anyway. Go off, sis. I mean, it broke my heart. I mean, I just, I think about how many people anchored their businesses on this and thought

that, like, this is the end of my livelihood. Yes. I believed I could be anything. I was told I could be anything. I started this business entrepreneurally and like. A singing career. Yeah. You know, like people, they're feeding their families from this app.

Yeah. I mean, everybody from like, whether you think it's stupid or not, skin care influencers. Like, people bought homes with this. And to see all those people be in such a panic, I mean, it really broke my heart. And I mean, it was kind of. interesting the next day because everybody flooded TikTok to post their final TikToks. Everyone's

crying and also my, of course my first thought was like, guys, they're still reels, which shows my age. Like everybody's like, oh, I would never real. I loved I loved the TikToks that were like, don't make me go there. Like I love this girl

that was like, I just posted over there and the comment section was so bad and like don't make me go over there. And I will say like, I feel like I had my moment on TikTok and I don't post that much anymore, but I'm on it a lot and I get a lot of information from there. That's where I got this hairstyle. And I was on thin hair talk and I found my girl.

She's like my Messiah of thin hair. And so, but it's like, it's so funny because it's like, I thought it's something I wanted to ask you this. Have you ever scrolled reels? I would never. That's so gross. Who's doing that? There's no algo.

You're seeing the weirdest stuff. Have you ever scroll through reels? There is no algorithm. They want you to scroll so bad. Fuck you, Mark Zuckerberg. So I have. No one will ever scroll. Reals.

So I have, and there is no algorithm. It is home decor. It is food. It is comedy. It doesn't even feel right. It doesn't make any sense. It's just like when, I got on like TikTok breakup in like October, November, and it was like, it was what I needed. It healed me from a situation I was going through it.

TikTok knew exactly what to serve to me. All the self-help girlies in the world, it was just one after the next. They didn't interrupt me with home goods. Well, sometimes I will, okay, so I feel like what I'm maybe trying to find a trending sound or a song. I'll scroll reels for a minute to see if they have anything in that way. And it even feels weird. I'm like, you guys do not get it.

And I want to say you'll never get it, but it's all about to be owned by like the same people. So, you know, dark times. But anyway. Meta has tried to replicate it and cannot really. And it is really so funny scrolling real. Ew. Stop.

It's just, there's no primary reason. I'm like, what are they going to give me next? Like, is this Facebook? It's like old Facebook energy. Listen, it doesn't serve you a vibe. It's just like, let's throw everything we can at her. And all you're doing when you're scrolling rails is six-month-old TikToks. That's all it is.

That's what it is. But I really, I mean, that obviously was my, most of our algorithms, like, as we neared the end was a lot of like goodbye TikTok videos and just Alex Earle all just crying nonstop. And, you know, people using that one family guy sound. Is it family guy? Yeah. That like revealing their. like revealing their deepest darkest secrets.

Our friend did a really good one where she revealed she got a rhinoplasty. I had known that she had gotten a nose job, but she did one of those. And I mean, some of them I were seeing. I was like, that's a real reveal. I mean, I really love some. Also, by the way, I think that people were like, ooh, that's embarrassing. I don't think these people thought they were just going to be offline to the rest of time. I didn't think it's like that scene and almost famous where they think the plane's going to crash.

And he's like, I'm gay. Oh, yeah. You know, and then the plane doesn't crash. That's a good reference. I think that, like, these people assume they'd go to Instagram, like, their lives weren't over. But some of these were, like, the amount of people that I saw admit that they were on Ozympic. I didn't see the main one I wanted to see. So, Serena Kerrigan said that was Manjaro in my fridge.

I mean, I didn't see that. I loved it. I thought it was good. My favorite one besides that. Charlie DeMilleo. And she said, since TikTok, my kick a band. this one more secret. I still don't understand the hype either, to be honest.

You know, people always say, like, I don't understand the hype about her. Oh, okay. That's what she meant. That's kind of funny. People are always like, I don't get it. She's like, yeah, I don't deserve this either. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. People just admitted some, like, crazy stuff, which was funny to, like, watch them walk it back. I guess there's this girl that does, she does this coffee one. Uh-uh. Has the, do you know what I'm talking about? So that was one of the big ones that I noticed that people were upset about. She, like, I think makes coffee. Everyone who's, like, coffee chats.

Okay. And she's like, I never drink coffee. I never drink coffee. And she had to walk it back and say, well, it was for my mom. My mom drinks the coffee. My gut feeling was like we're going to get an extension on this. Like, I just didn't believe it. And I guess I kind of started to believe it in the final hour.

But I was like, don't blow your business up over this. I mean, some of these people, I think, meant it. I took it to be like, these people will go on on Instagram. They will figure out another way. But I think somebody is, okay, so this one girl, I don't think, I think most people didn't feel like it was going to be that easy. I want to, I mean, I understand the fear. Like, I watched this one woman's video and she had a lot to say about, like, the politics of it all, which I was obsessed with. But she was also, her name, it's Jacks is her handle on TikTok, and she's, she's become a singer and she's made a career out of this.

And, you know, someone like her can't just go over to reels. Like, I get it. Like, TikTok shop. I mean, it's just not that easy. So, I, you know, I wanted to, you know, our. friend who she has like she doesn't even have a million on reels she has millions on ticot i mean like they're not just interchangeable in the same so i understood people's like real fear and devastation oh a hundred percent i just mean like they didn't they weren't going to cease to exist so it was

interesting admitting some of this stuff because they were going to go to another platform at some point and i think a lot of people have millions followers in ticot and do not on instagram at all but i did some of these accounts were going to go on thank you yes in terms of their business reina what if we went on and we're like, I don't masturbate. Alyssa, I don't drink tea. You know, like, it's crazy. Like, you're just outing yourself. Like, you're the Titanic is sinking.

But, like, there's just one girl. Okay, I didn't actually know how to just get served her stuff. Meredith Duxbury, and she, I don't know if you've seen her. She'll put, like, 10 pumps of makeup on her face, and she'll, like, white her whole face out and then do makeup from there. And she said, I wiped off those pumps. And, like, that doesn't end your career, but, like, that was her thing. But like it's just a weird energy no matter what, unless you're literally sinking on the Titanic or the plane is going down to be like I'm a fraud.

It's weird energy to ever unless it's your dying day and you really want to get it out. It's weird to be like I'm a fraud. So it's different to me. Like I'm a fraud versus like here's a secret I want to tell you because like Serena Kerrigan being like, listen, it was major. And the nose job. Exactly. Like I think that she's really thin. She's been on our show.

She's great. I like her. I think she's beautiful. I don't think she's on her platform every day saying it's natural. I might work out plane. Yeah. She just doesn't talk about it. Yeah. So to out yourself as a total fraud is wild.

It is wild. It's wild energy. But I don't know. I don't know how I would feel if the plane was crashing. I think I've lived a pretty honest life. Mm-hmm. You know, I don't really have any deep dark secrets. I think about that a lot.

You and I were talking about a friend recently that kind of shares everybody's business. And we were like, we've told her a lot. But we're like, well, what really deep dark secrets do we have? I don't know. No, I think that's a good point. Like, the masturbation thing is a good point. is a good point. Like if I would just say like, I don't really care about vibrators, they're not for me. Like, I'd rather just go solo. I'm a Republican. Yeah. Surprise. No, I would never. I used two

vibrators the other day. I was using the Ashley Max wand. Just like double fisting. Well, sometimes, okay, here's the thing. I like to, I like to listen to porn or I like on our app. Or I like to read porn, which you can also do on our vibes only app or I'll go to like websites. I'll read porn. Like I like to read porn stories. But I can't always like scroll. I masturbate at the same time. We need both hands. And so I will use the Ashley Max one and I'll just like lay it on my body while I'm scrolling. Because it'll get the job done.

It doesn't need off my full hand to apply it. Like the Debbie, which is my favorite thing that we sell, but it's a suction and you have to hold it against your body. Yes. If you're new here, we have a company called Vibes Only, the best vibrators that exist and they all pair with an app. You can use them with or without the app. The Ashley Max will both change and ruin your life. I listen it's the best vibrator it's the most beautiful it's the most powerful you could also use it as a massager but it's it hits different and there is nothing else like it and I will stand by that

holy shit but yeah we would love if you guys check those out especially you know if you feel like it's a dark time there's nothing really that will heal you quite like a mind-blowing orgasm so great time for vibes only and, you know, support to female founders that, you know where our values stand. Yeah. So we do have a company called vibes only, vibes only.com. And then Monday, huge launch. So if you guys listen to Girls Got to Eat on Monday, and we are going to show you on video, all the new products, and we are launching the most fun collection for Valentine's Day. So exciting. You guys get ready. We are so excited to bring it to you when I woke up on Sunday morning. I looked around my bedroom. There was a blunt. My house is wild. No, there was a

on my dr, a blunt, and a half-drink glass of whiskey and two vibrators. I was like, I really got it in last time. Where were your cigarettes? In the car. When we got in your car and I saw this marvelous testing out the back seat, I was like, oh, my fucking God. We're over here escaping the air quality, and you were like, let me smoke a sick. Yeah, I'm trying to get into the air quality. She's like, let me get that benzene to the face.

I did not, I've not bought a new pack since then. Yeah. And listen, I didn't say this to shame you, but I was like, I've become an air quality expert. And I was like, a lot of the things that are in the air are also in your cigarettes. I'm not shaming you, but I'm just telling you you've been. You should shame me, but I'll smoke cigarettes that often. I was trying to make you feel better. Like, you've been having these chemicals. Don't you worry. I mean, I do think about the air quality and how bad it is, but then I think about all the other things I've put in my body. And I'm like, she is so strong that she is still alive today.

all the men and all the drugs. Okay, guys, well, we cannot wait for our final topic. We have one more, but we're just going to talk about our remaining partners and then get into it. This show is sponsored by Liquid Ivy. Okay, we are so excited about this. And as you guys may know, I am planning a wedding. I have started. And first thing I'm putting in people's welcome bags.

I can't imagine my life without, and that is Helix. Rayne and I had a conversation recently, like just on our own time, not recorded of how much we love Helix mattresses and how everyone in our lives. You guys know. Like, we sleep is so important to us, like getting a good sleep. I don't get eight hours. I'm like not functioning. And like, I love this mattress. It is the only thing I sleep on. You take this quick quiz about what you're looking for in terms of firmness. Are you sleeping with a partner? Do you sleep on your side on your back? I don't even.

to read the ad points. I just love this mattress. I know. Yeah, exactly. I feel like I could say I'm like word for word. Yeah. So you're going to take the quit and they have various mattresses. I sleep on the midnight lux. I also have a moonlight lux in my guest room. My fiance is the midnight lux. And I just got my mom one. My brother and my sister-in-law have the plus size mattress. They have plus-size mattresses. They have mattresses for kids. They have mattresses for hot sleepers, this amazing technology. And then they have the standard mattresses. And then they have the Lux collection. And they have the elite collection. So you can And again, just kind of figure out which was going to work best for you the way that you sleep, where you sleep.

If you're dealing with any back pain or, you know, sleep apnea, sleeping too hot, they can help you address those issues as well. So we just can't recommend it enough. Everyone, Tessa, we got Tessa one, you know, like everyone we know has these. And I just notice it so much when I go sleep somewhere else. Like even if it's the nicest hotel or Airbnb, like I still cannot wait to get home for my Helix mattress. The pillows are absolutely amazing. Everywhere I evacuated to, I brought my pillow. I love those pillows.

I'm obsessed. A pillow makes sleep. Like, I think a pillow matters sometimes almost as much as your mattress. I brought it to Caden Jass. I brought it to Taylor's. I brought it to the Airbnb. Like I was like, this is going to help me. It was like my security blanket.

So we love that too. So you guys can go to helix sleep.com slash gGEE for 20% off sitewide plus two free dream pillows with your mattress purchase. Again, that is helixleep.com slash gge for. 20% off sitewide plus two free dream pillows with your mattress purchase Helixleep.com slash Gigi. Okay. Speaking of brands. This was something that, like, I think you showed me.

We were in these comments dying. So I saw this thing that Walmart had rebranded. And it is a big thing that these brands want to rebrand, freshen up. And the Walmart rebrand was so crazy because to the naked untrained eye, there's no different. So if you guys know the Walmart logo, it is these, it looks like a flower. It's six petals around. I think it's like rays. What is it?

Like a sun rays. Okay. So it's like six petals that are, it looks like the tattoo out of my back. Okay. It looks like a starburst. Not the tramp stamp. It's a blue logo with yellow flower. And they made a bluer logo with a yellower flower.

It's just thicker. Yeah, they just bolded it. And I, do you think they're trolling us? Like, this is genius. It feels like a joke. This is a stunt. It's genius because they didn't have to do anything and we are all talking about it. So I was like, okay, what do other rebrands look like?

So I Googled like Rebranded and I saw like Duncan Donuts just rebranded to Duncan. Oh my God, Instagram rebranded. Jaguar, the worst rebrand. Of all time. McDonald's rebranded to look a little more high end, Stella Artois, Guinness, Apple rebranded. I mean, this is a really common practice. But typically you see.

people rebrand in like an obvious way. The comments on this are some of the funniest comedy I've ever seen in my life. I was jealous. I didn't come up with them. Can I just tell you my favorite one I think about every single day? Is the rebrand in the room with us right now? Is the rebrand in the room? When your ex tells you he's changed.

That's my second favorite. Yeah. Hits bold. When they make you create another password every 10 weeks. not them replacing the old ink cartridge in their printer. That's what it looks like. It's literally like one was taken on Blackberry and one was taken on iPhone. Like it's just the other one looks blurry now.

Yes. It's really weird. I think it's like when, when a woman comes home and she went to the salon, she asked her man, like, do you love my hair? And he's like sweating, not being out until it looks different. Like he's like, what's different about it? It's like those photos where they say like pick the different things in these photos. I was like, what's different?

You're like, I don't know. I was thinking, like, again, like, this might really just be a stunt, which I don't hate. But I was like, do you think the designers just wait until the night before? Like, it's really good when you wait to turn in your paper. Well, people were saying, like, what is this job and, like, how can I get it? Like, do you understand how many millions of dollars probably went into this focus groups and testing different colors and hiring different design firms to, like, submit different ideas? I mean, this is a really.

brand of the biggest company in the United States. It's the most profitable. It's the richest people own this. Yeah. Like, who got this job? I think they're trying. They think they technically are calling it a refresh. Minor difference, obviously. But still, you know, because, but it's, to me, I'm like, now is the time to change it completely. Like, I'm sorry, it's crazy to even want to keep your dusty old logo from 08. You know, like, let's make a change here. Like, it's, whether it's a rebrand or a refresh, the time was ripe for a rebrand. A true rebrand. I have to read this one, Raina. Incredibly beautiful. I will have a hard time getting used to it, but once I do, just wow. That's so funny. It's going to be hard to get used to. I love these. Oh, so by the way, and we'll put this on YouTube, obviously,

but it was people. It was their posts that were all, like, the gold comments were. I'm sure there were other places on the internet, probably like puberty or something, but like the people one was where we found all our faves. Well, what did Aldi say? Oh, yeah. Walmart pinned it, right? No, Walmart. So Aldi has been trolling. Other brands got in on this, and they were like, now's our time to make fun of this. Aldi is the main troll.

And they just... You never think you're going to say that sentence. And the headline, which is like very clickbait on the U.S. Sun, says Aldi burns Walmart with logo refresh as fans joke, new branding is a total game changer. And like, Aldi just did like our before and after. And it's like just exactly the same. And then they wrote, heard we're doing logo refresh. And then they were commenting in the comments and stuff like that.

Well, didn't Walmart comment something? And then Aldi pinned it. And then Walmart was like, you really pinned that? And they were like, yeah, we did do that shit. Oh, okay. So here's what happened. Aldi did his post and then they pinned the post to the top of their feed. Oh, okay.

And then Walmart said, did you really pin this? And Aldi said sure did, period. Wait, a post? A post? A feed post. Let me see. Oh, okay. What I just read, you?

you guys. Heard we're doing logo refreshes with the exact same logo and then they pin that. Okay, I see. And then Walmart was like, bitch, are you serious? And they were like, the fuck we are. Two budget stores fighting. Like, I love watching stores fight. They're taking it to the streets. No, I love it. I love it. And like, you know, you wouldn't see this with Krober. Neem and Marcus versus Bloomingdale's. You know what I mean? It's always, it's always going to be like the fast food places or like the budget places are just going to get down in the mud. I love it. I love to see it. Okay, guys, well, we hope you enjoyed this episode of the snack.
