Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to The Snack, a lighter serving of Girls Got to Eat. This is a Dear Media production. Enjoy. Hi, guys. Hi, guys. Big day. What's today? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:00:15 I just like recording this episode a lot. Oh, okay. Just a big Tuesday. Just another Tuesday in the snack. I really spent a lot of time prepping for this. You really have been prepping. I'm just going to sit back if you don't mind. Actually, I would like you too.
Starting point is 00:00:29 I'm going to teach you things about Mercury today and movie sets. And there's just like so much to tell you. I just came across this headline like two seconds ago. It made me bust out laughing. What? Breaking. If you know about this, I'm going to be so mad. French parliament is demanding that the U.S. return the Statue of Liberty. Yeah, girl, that was yesterday.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Woke up 8 a.m. Everybody knows they want the Statue of Liberty back. I don't know if that's the whole country, but yes, people in France are like, you're not using this appropriately. You're not, it's not giving liberty. Give us our statue back. Give us our statue back. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Which we suck. 100% take it back. We don't deserve it. We suck so bad. I want to watch a reality show about them taking it back. How do they like dismantle it? I want to get it out of there. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:01:21 People are jet skiing around it. I have jet skied around the Statue of Liberty. It was one of my favorite things I've ever done. You were there. Obviously I was there. So we've talked about this before, but I saw that for the first time. and the movie Hitch where they were jet skiing
Starting point is 00:01:34 in the Hudson. I'm like, who gets to do that? Like, what elite socialites get to jet ski in the Hudson? You can just do it. I just think that people think of the Hudson
Starting point is 00:01:41 is like gross and you can. Oh, I don't think of it as that. It was so fine. I just thought of it as like, you get to jet ski next to a statue of liberty. It's insane. Not anymore.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Not anymore. Now that's gone. I mean, what are they going to put there? Donald Trump's going to put a statue of his dumb ass there. They're just, I love that France's like, you don't deserve us anymore.
Starting point is 00:01:57 It's like when you're like, I want my sweatshers back. Yeah. Except for France is like, I want my statue back. They gave us that, and that gift and good faith. That we would not run this country into the ground and look at us now.
Starting point is 00:02:10 We fucked around. Yeah. We're finding out. We're in the find out phase. Okay. Thank our partners. We'll get right into it. Thanks to Liquid IV.

He found one of the pouches in his wallet.
Starting point is 00:02:39 And he was like, what is this gym biotica? I'm like, I've been throwing it in his wallet. I've been putting this down your throat every day. Wait, you've just been stuffing him in his wallet? I don't know. I didn't put it in. I was like, you will get healthy, motherfucker. Your current fiance.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Like, stop. That's going to be on Monday 7th. episode, I think, right? Oh, yeah. With Emily. You guys will see what it's about. I guess I've deleted it now. Just stay tuned for me calling him that for nine months. And then he's going to be your current husband. I called him my current fiancé and I don't know why. It's foreshadowing. Like, he's not the former or the last.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Listen, it's not going to be forever. It's like the Statue of Liberty. Temporary. By temporary fiancé. Our current Statue of Liberty. It's not going to last forever. It's just funny because like single guys have condoms in their wallet. Yeah, he's got a gym biotic. Vitamin C, liposomal vitamin C. Yeah. Okay, well, let's kick it off with a planetary report.
Starting point is 00:03:38 So I'm surprised I got you to do this. What? Well, I pitched you this and I'm surprised. You said, yes, I feel like you don't really care about like astrology and woo-woo shit. And you were like, let's do it. I think it's a fun topic. I also think that like, Mercury is in retrograde is tossed around a lot. And I was like, I don't really know what that means.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Let me learn about it. So I did learn about Mercury and Retrograde years ago. think I was talking to Kelly Knight, who has been on our show, and she is a terror reader and a bit of a psychic, and modern mystic is her shop in Atlanta. And I think I was telling her, like, everything seems to be going wrong, like technology-wise, my phone, my computer, all these, I'm having miscommunications here and there. And she was like, oh, it's mercury and retrograde. And I was like, say what? And then just like, I feel like this is the way things happen. Then you do start seeing it everywhere. And that was probably, I mean, it could have been 10 years ago, but I think,
Starting point is 00:04:29 people, we'll talk about what it is, but yeah, it can excuse, it can excuse some things happening. But this season, we are in like turbo chaos, Mercury retrograde. So we will explain what it is, but on top of that, also Venus is in retrograde and it's eclipse season. But like, is it, or is it just being alive in 2025? I think a lot of it is just being alive right now. Yes. They're trying to take our statue away. Everything's bad. Tariffs on everything. I love this Tetra Liberty. The way you started this episode now.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I'm going to be in a bad mood about it. You know I fucking love her. It's my favorite thing to fly over. I get so excited when we fly over like the bottom of Manhattan and I see her. No, even when you see it driving in, even when you see it from a boat for your birthday. I know. For a jet ski from my birthday. It excites me.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I love that bitch. Okay. So yes, a lot of this is just being alive. But planetary-wise, what Mercury and Resergate means is that it is a period of time when Mercury moves slower than Earth around the sun. So there is sort of an optical illusion that Mercury is moving backwards. And Mercury is the planet that, like you said, controls communication. And so it's also cognition to computers, transportation and transactions, conversations,
Starting point is 00:05:42 conversations, schedules, all kinds of things. You know what I think, like, who wrote this? Like, okay, communication. Like, it controls emails and computers. Who decided this? What year? Exactly. Like, you can buy into it or not.
Starting point is 00:05:55 But again, like Raina said, it's the planet of communication. So it's thought that when it goes into retrograde, we can expect a whole range of mishaps across human communication with people in our lives or technology. Guys should be using this more. Guys should be like, I'm starting to text you back, Mercury's and Retrograd. Or I did send that text. It must have not gone through. Every girl would love it. It's such a female.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Well, I don't know. I do think there's a little more like a female trait to be interested in astrology. But this is what guys could be using as excuses. And if you feel like this happens a lot, which I'm always like, I feel like I hear this a lot. It does happen three to four times a year and it will happen for two to three weeks at a time. And it's not always at the same time. Is that often a year? Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:36 It can happen three to four times a year. This is supposed to be the big one. So even the cut did an article titled, This Mercury Retrograde is going to be real rough. And everybody's talking about it. And I think it's interesting. I do think if you feel like things are just going wrong and melting down in the certain areas of your life. It can, I think, provide a sense of relief to be like, oh, it's just the planets. It's the universe. It's what's happening. It's not like we're excusing bad behavior
Starting point is 00:07:03 or maybe, you know, based on something happening in the planets. But I'm sure that some guys will now. It's not me. It's the planet. It's not me. It's not me. It's the universe. But I like a lot of the talk about like who it's going to affect the most. So it starts in Aries, basically. So Mercury is the planet, right? Aries is the zodiac signs. So it starts during Aries. So it's from March 15th to March 29th. You should expect unnecessarily hot tempers, bold declarations that age poorly, and technology failures.
Starting point is 00:07:34 So they're saying, check all your emails, make sure you're not responding to the wrong person on a different text thread. Yes. Sending a screenshot of you talking shit to that person. Yes. This is when you would do it. Someone did it to me the other day. What?
Starting point is 00:07:46 But she was calling me skinny. So I kind of appreciated it. Someone really did. Okay. So that's when it applies to. Ares. So Aries in general about action in general, like that zodiac sign. So this phase can cause
Starting point is 00:08:00 a lot of like hyperaction. And then with Pisces, after March 29th. Into what? Like April 15th? Into April 15th. That's when Mercury is functioning normally this planet, but it struggles in Pisces. So facts dissolve. Communication gets a little too abstract.
Starting point is 00:08:16 That's just the current administration. And logic takes a backseat. It sounds like 2025 to me. Just that's what's up. Kelly would say don't make any big rash decisions, don't sign any contracts, but sometimes you've got to sign a contract. Also, this is when you're doing your taxes. You're like, I can't do my taxes this year for the recent retrograde. And my, and my, uh, Tara Reader says, I just, it wouldn't be right for me to sign this. So this year, I'm just not going to pay them. I'm just not going to do it. You can file a tax
Starting point is 00:08:44 extension. That's so funny. I have to follow the extension. So a couple different articles we found, But one says, while Mercury retrograde affects everyone, Aries, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo will be front and center for the next few weeks. So watch out. And then in this People article, it said things can get chaotic for fire signs. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. So it sounds like Aries is just fucked across the board. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:10 And the Mercury's in Aries. That's what I'm saying. It's penetrating Aries. Yes. It doesn't penetrate Gemini. But Gemini's in general, we are, we're chatty. We're really communicative. We're just talking to everybody all the time.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And when your communication's fucked up, that's just more people to fuck up communication with. I'd just be talking all day every day. I know. I don't need to really be careful. I got a reel in it. I told nine people the same story the other day about this date that I was going on that didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:09:38 And then I had to tell nine people the next morning. That's tough. But it didn't happen. I got a flood of text messages. How was the date? How was the date? how is the date? And like, our friends are just great.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Like, they all just, like, root for each other, root for me. And so many of our friends are in serious relationships. And so when I'm like, I like this guy, I think I'm going on this date. And then he can't. Well, that's why you run wrong. Because I think I'm going on this date is where you know you've got to stop talking. Trusting a man, totally. It's the I think for me.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Yeah, I'm so silly to think when a man asks me on a date, plans the date, picks the time, follows up that I, that he will actually show up for the date. How many times does a woman ever said I think I'm going on this date and actually gone. If it's not written in blood, you're not going, sis. Like, it doesn't matter that he told me he was going to come over, grocery shop, picked the recipe, picked the time. In the middle of our recording, he texted me. I can't come over tonight. Well, we're hoping for a redo. We'll say.
Starting point is 00:10:36 But I'm not going to ask about it. I've just, I've taken a note that I need to tell a few less people that it's happening. Yeah. We have so many fun girlfriends. I just like to like chichette, tell them stuff. And also, I don't feel embarrassed. He should feel embarrassed. Exactly. Thank you. I hope he doesn't find it about Mercury and Retrograde. He's going to make it. I was actually wondering if he was going to text me that today.
Starting point is 00:10:56 No, because it started on March 15th and he dropped the ball last week before it started. I know. Okay, so we asked our listeners on Instagram, have you experienced any effects of Mercury? It's hard to tongue twister of Mercury and Red. I think Mercury is a tough word. Mercury retrograde. It's a lot of... Oh, you say Mercury Retrograde? I say in retrograde. I think that they're sort of...
Starting point is 00:11:18 They're interchangeable, but I think the actual term is Mercury retrograde. Oh, I think it's in. You know what? Let us know in the comments. It doesn't matter. Okay. A lot of syllables. So here are our responses.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Overwhelming desire to break up with my boyfriend and have a hot girl summer. That's every year. That's not Mercury. That's just May. But do it. Maybe just wait until after. May? April 15th, right?
Starting point is 00:11:42 Maybe just wait after retro. I don't know. I mean, again, do or don't. But that's what experts would probably advise is don't make those big decisions unless this relationship is terrible. But I don't know. You got a good thing going. You might want to wait.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Start working on your wardrobe right now. Okay. And your vibe, if you're like, I want to have a hot girl summer, it's never too late to be a hot girl. Yeah. Yeah. That's always something you can accomplish. Communication issues across the board.
Starting point is 00:12:09 My baby daddy started being more unreasonable lately. Got laid off from work, major cuts. That's just America in 2025. a lot of that, so we feel for anybody that that happened to, of course. Slept wrong and now I can't move my neck. I'm only 28. Relatable, but I'm almost 40. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah, my therapist is cutting her hours. She wants to communicate less. Obviously. I poured O.J. into a bowl and then later stepped in dog poop. That is so mercury in retrograde vibes. Like when that stuff happens like just over and over. You feel like you're in a like cartoon. My newish boyfriend told me he started seeing someone else but still wants to
Starting point is 00:12:47 be friends. Oh, I knew it. That's, that's tough. That's crazy. And I'm sorry. I ripped the crotch of my pants. Worst period I've ever had. My life is in shambles. It's been about a year. I hope it gets better. You can't blame that one on the planet. That's not because Mercury is spinning backwards optically. I woke up with a raging UTI relatable. I work in HR and everyone is act. Everyone's acting up. Yeah. Everyone's acting a fool. Yeah. And then this one got ghosted because of my micro penis. This guy has DMed me. I wonder if this is a girl
Starting point is 00:13:22 just talking about her clit. This is a guy. No, it's a guy. Yeah, like I saw in my hidden messages that this guy sent me a DM that was like, have you ever seen a micro penis? Do you want to? I showed it to my fiance,
Starting point is 00:13:36 my current fiance right away. He busted out laughing. And then I just noticed the same handle. No, it's like, stays in the hidden folder where it belongs. I did notice it was the same handle. Yeah. So I don't know what this guy's agenda is, but none of us want to see it.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Stop. Get it out of here. Well, just some people, but not strangers. I'm not single. And I'll use that as my excuse, so I don't body shame. Okay. So, and then a lot about exes. So should we just ping pong the final five?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah. A guy I really liked was starting to fall for me. Let me know his ex is back in the picture. Don't love it. Yikes. An ex of mine that I found out was married. after almost two years of dating, broke no contact. My ex unblocked me.
Starting point is 00:14:20 That's very mercury retrograde, like the technology, like you're like, where did this come from? Like, what made you decide to do this? Right. What happened today that you did this? Yeah. Okay. Spoke to my ex of five years after eight months of no contact. What is going on, guys?
Starting point is 00:14:34 They always come back. Yeah. Yes, my boyfriend and I recently started dating and both of our exes made appearances. That's nothing new. X, they're always going to creep back in. Absolutely. and things have been going really well with an ex. Tell me you didn't understand the question.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Unless that's like a bad thing. That's a sentence that doesn't, that is an oxymoron. Things have been going really well with an ex. What or what? No. Well, like their friendship is going really well or they're like sharing a dog or they're getting back together. What are the things? What are the things?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Give us more information, sis. Maybe she's like it's going a little too well and I'm going to walk this back with all my friends. I talked to a lot of hard shit. She's like, I think we're going to back together. Well, give it a couple weeks. He'll do something terrible. Okay, so X's kind of brings us into this movie that we want to talk about. This is materialists, and it is dropping in June, June 13th.
Starting point is 00:15:30 This is an A-24 film written and directed by Celine Song, who did past lives. And, you know, we love A-24. I mean, they, can I just tell you? I just look something up about A-24 and like one of the questions that people ask and that AI answered when you Google it is why are A-24 movies so good. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:50 It says A-24's films are often praised for their unique, autore-driven, I don't know that word, driven approach, strong marketing and willingness to take risks with independent and unconventional projects leading to a reputation for quality and originality. So they don't do a ton of movies,
Starting point is 00:16:04 but they do great movies. They really spend their time, and then they stack the cast. So this is a movie Dakota Johns, In Johnms. They did uncodalms. On Joms.
Starting point is 00:16:16 So they... Oh, it takes me giggle. So this is a fun rom-com, but it looks a little deeper than that. It's set in New York City. Rom-Drom. Rom-Drom. It's set in New York City. It stars Dakota Johnson, and she is a high-end matchmaker.
Starting point is 00:16:32 And she's sort of resolved that, like, true love is not for her. And so she's just going to go out and find somebody rich, essentially, to be with. And it pits her against these two, interests now. So there's her formal love address. It's Chris Evans. He's basically a cater waiter. Sexy. And Pedro Pascal, who's this, like, rich New York City,
Starting point is 00:16:52 I think finance guy. And it's just this like tale is oldest time. Like what's more important? Love or money? What a dream role to have Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans fighting over you. Pedro Pascal, the Zaddy, Goat of Zaddies. The only
Starting point is 00:17:07 Chris you can trust of all the four Chris's. Chris Pine, Chris Pat, Chris Sam's worth Chris Evans, Chris Pratt. So I love it. And we watch the trailer drop this morning as we are recording. So definitely check that out. And I really like this scene. She's at this event or dinner, something with Pedro Pascal.
Starting point is 00:17:28 And then he asks what she wants to drink. And she says a Coke and a beer. And then Chris Evans comes over and drops it in front of her. But at first you think, like, oh, he knew she was going to order that. How did he know? They don't show Chris Evans right away. And then she realizes it's him. And then it just goes from there.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I love the trailer. I cannot wait for this. I've loved Dakota Johnson since the movie How to Be Single, which I got rated to watch recently. This is from like 2015. And different vibes than this, but even just kind of seeing her, you know, dating, finding love,
Starting point is 00:17:57 looking for love, whatever it may be. And then running around New York City, I just love to see it. So I'm just such a fan of her. I am too. She's fantastic. And I like the premise of this, which is it's a woman who's really killing it in her career.
Starting point is 00:18:09 and she is just habitually single. She's the chronically single friend who sets other people up. And, you know, I've complained for many years that there's just too much content about women that are just kind of like flailing and then a man sweeps in and saves them. And I like movies about women that are a little bit older in roles where they're like actually killing a professional.
Starting point is 00:18:29 There's nothing so wrong with them. And I just, I think that I really love this premise of like what is more important to you in a relationship, in life, what can sustain you longer and things that we say will make us happy versus what actually makes us happy long term. So I love all of those themes and just the archetype of the like single successful New York City woman. Yes, I love it. And you're using a matchmaker right now. This is especially relevant to our lives. And it's really, it's interesting. I mean, I've thought about this a lot on dating apps specifically and I've read some interesting articles about specifically what men say that
Starting point is 00:19:07 they want from a partner, which is a woman who's self-sufficient, makes her own money, but she's sweet and kind and open, and she can just be like chill and laid back, but she kills it at work and all these things. And the premise of these articles is basically like all men say they want this, but if you give them this, they will be so intimidated by this woman, they'll hate it. And vice versa, I think that, you know, that's why, you know, I want a man who's 6-5 trust fund, finance, all this, that one's so viral because so many women say they want this. But I don't know, there's a lot of trade-offs to finding somebody like that. And what, there's two of them, and they ran the numbers.
Starting point is 00:19:40 There's like two of those guys in the country. Less than, like, 0.1% of the population would ever be this. And those people are dating 0.1% of the population. Yeah. So I went through some of the comments when the trailer dropped this morning. There's thousands of them. And some of them I really loved. And the first one says they don't make movies like this anymore.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Cosign. I do feel like this is like the quality feels like 90s, early 2000s. Like, I think we're really going to be riveted by this. in like a rom-com, rom-dram type of way. So it says they don't make movies like this anymore. I hope she chooses the rich guy. Like a true New Yorker. This says, I love this one.
Starting point is 00:20:16 This seems strangely straightforward for an A-24 movie. So you know there's going to be some kind of twist in there, right? She picks neither of them. Right. She chooses herself. Literally plot twist. Another person said plot twist, the boys end up together. 10-10, no notes.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Between Pedro and Chris, I'm conflicted. And then someone wrote, it's A-24, so she's probably going to end up single. the end. She's going to choose herself. She's going to Samantha Jones it. Or she's going to get Pedro Pascal to fund a movie for Chris Evans and get Chris Evans to be rich and then she goes and be beats with Chris Evans. Okay. Pedro Pascal and romantic comedies. We have been heard girlies. Dakota Johnson is living my dream. Mr. Fantastic Captain America and Madam Webb in a love triangle. That reminds me of the White Lotus where everybody says those three women can be identified as Carrie Coon, Jacqueline and Maga. No, actress.
Starting point is 00:21:05 actress maga and kerry coon um and then this one please i'm sat seline thank you for another love triangle well i can't wait for it it comes out it comes out in june materialists i'm very excited about this yeah so you guys watch the trailer you can watch it on a 24's youtube instagram or ticot wherever you want to find it it's there and then in theaters june 13th ran his birthday week oh um can i ask you just like a quick question do you think white lotus is the only show that every person person in the country is watching. Which also, like, this is on HBO. Like, not as many people have it, but it feels like it is the one show that literally
Starting point is 00:21:43 everyone watches. It is united the country. Across both sides of the aisle, men, women, LGBTQ, everybody is into the show. Yeah. And it's the worst season they've ever had. And it's not bad, but it's my least favorite of the three. And that's saying a lot because I loved, I love all three of them. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I think I'm going to do a power. ranking at the end of the season and see how I feel. Because you know how I feel. I did love the second season much more than the first. Much more. I don't know. I loved it more than the first. I can't decide with this one because they've really,
Starting point is 00:22:18 there were episodes three and four were a little slow. And episode five was so on-vish. It was crazy. The brother's kissing and the Asian girl, like, kink scene that was, if they don't immediately make that guy a main character, of the show. I want them to kick off old dusty, what's his name on, what's his name? What, Walter Coggin? Yeah, I want them to kick him off and make the other guy main character. I only want to follow that guy. The monologue of his friend talking about being into lady boys and
Starting point is 00:22:50 then liking to get fucked in the ass and then paying Asian girls to watch him get fucked in the ass. I could have watched that for an hour. Do you think Mike White just did like an acid trip and wrote that? Like, what happened? Who came up with this? I don't know. It's not even a character on the show. I have not really loved Rick, the character, Walter Coggins. Honestly, until that moment, his expressions and his reactions just felt so real. Like, I couldn't wait for them to pan back to him. And with this dumbfounded, but honestly not really judgmental. No, he never cuts in.
Starting point is 00:23:25 But he's just like, he doesn't really judge. We listen and we don't judge. The whole country was so riveted. It was shot and also like one continuous scene. Like it's not a lot of like ping pong back and forth across the room. Like that is the best monologue we've seen all season. He's not even really a character. Okay, can I tell you I have a little bit of a controversial take on actress Maga and Carrie Coon?
Starting point is 00:23:54 And the guy, the hot guy that works. They're a butler. They're Butler. I think Jacqueline obviously is like a pick me and she needs all the attention and the validation. and she's also cheating on her husband and all of that. Meanwhile, though he is kind of being... Little M.I. He's Mercury's in retrograde for him.
Starting point is 00:24:14 He's been ghosting her. But, like, I do think that Carrie Coon had her chance. She just went to bed and threw up. And scratched her butt. So real. When she scratched her butt crack, I was like, that is so real. That's me. That's me.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Can we go to bed and I throw up and scratch my butt? I don't know if Jacqueline is like, I've been pushing this for so many days and she won't take advantage. And tonight would have been the night she took her top off. She's wasted. Like if she is not going to fuck this guy tonight, I am. And I don't want to defend her because she's doing all the bad things, you know, but I don't think Lori wants it or she would have done that.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Like I don't know. People are kind of saying like, oh, she's that friend that's going to steal your man. It's like, that's totally fine. But I do think she is this like ultimate pick me and she's the one that needs all the attention and she's got all these insecurities. but I kind of just feel like Lori, like, didn't want it. I'm with you. She didn't want it enough.
Starting point is 00:25:10 He's fair game, right? So I think that they try to allude to the fact that, like, Lori was whispering in his ear before she went to bed and then he didn't show up. Oh, okay. And then Jacqueline texted him. Oh, okay. So she, like, went to sleep waiting for him or something. Well, I think he's wanted Jacqueline from the start, probably.
Starting point is 00:25:29 And then they're what, yeah, you're right. Because then they were kind of dancing at the club, and then he went over to kind of dance with Jacqueline. And yeah, I mean, she's a total, like, you know, she was like, what, dancing with those two guys and looking at that group of girls at the table. Like, she wants the attention and I understand that. But, okay, I see your point. I didn't know if Lori really ever cared. I agree with you, though.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Jacqueline's been the one kind of pushing it. Lori's like, I don't need this. Like, I don't like this. I don't want this. Stop. But I think some people, their point is like, you do have that friend. It's always like, you should go for it. You should go for it.
Starting point is 00:26:02 You should go for him. And secretly you want him. Yes. So I can see that take too. But I also see her being like, well, what do you want me to do? He didn't want you. Right. He wanted me.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And he's the butler at this resort. We're not in real life, by the way. Like this is just like a vacation hookup I'm going to have.

Did you ever think there would be so much.
Starting point is 00:30:54 drama coming out of Snow White. Kind of. I just feel like these Disney movies are always got some drama. Because I think these production companies want to make them a little more appropriate for the times and people get fired up. So the headline Disney scales back Snow White Hollywood premiere amid Rachel Ziegler and Gal Godot's controversies. This movie was supposed to come out in March of 2024.
Starting point is 00:31:20 They pushed it back to March 2025 because of the writer's strike last year. And it seemed a little strange to put out these movies. But this movie has really been plagued with controversy since the beginning. So from the beginning, Rachel Ziegler was cast as Snow White. She's a Latin actress. And people, racist people, came out and didn't like the casting. It had really been trolling her online ever since. To the point that she has come out and said, like, please stop tagging me in this stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I don't need to know about it. It doesn't need to come across my desk. I got it. So people don't like the casting. So it started with that. there's any Disney princess that's their race is not really up for interpretation, it would be Snow White. But who cares? It's like a fairy tale. I don't care. I love that they're going to mix it up. But it's like you probably could have seen that coming from these people. From these like
Starting point is 00:32:12 races, right wing, what just Disney fairy tale purist. That's what it is. And I mean, the same thing happened when we made The Little Mermaid and African American woman. So I mean, she's basically come out and said, I think the original book was written in 1937 or something. And she's like, yeah, a lot has changed since then. Also, this is a movie about a man who essentially stalks a woman and then kisses her while she's sleeping, which is assault. So she's just like, we're going to change it up a little bit. Well, I think they said they're changing how she even got the name Snow White.
Starting point is 00:32:43 They're going to mix the story up. Who cares? Whatever. But in 2022, January 22, on an appearance of Mark Merrin's WTF podcast. Peter Dinklage, most famous little person, probably, right? I think so. Criticize the film, calling it a backward story on account of its depiction of the seven dwarves.
Starting point is 00:33:05 So he says there's a lot of hypocrisy going on. Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White, but you're still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dorfs. Take a step back and look at what you're doing there. It makes no sense to me.
Starting point is 00:33:18 You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that fucking backward story about Seven Doors, Living in a Cave Together, what the fuck, blah, blah, blah, he kind of went off. So, by the way, at that point, is he, so they've decided to CGI the dwarfs instead of hiring actors that are little people. Yeah, and so that's one take.
Starting point is 00:33:36 And then it says, Disney responded, and then it said, we're taking a different approach, and we've been consulting with members of the Dorfism community. We will share more. And then another little person who played horns woggle. Oh, I just,
Starting point is 00:33:53 that was a Harry Potter thing, but it's not. Hornswoggle in the WWE. He kind of clapped back and said, it's not helping our community. It's taking jobs away from our community that are very far in Twitter. Seven little people. That's a lot to cast in a movie. They found them for Harry Potter.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Okay, but I'm saying, like, I understand that take. Well, that's what I thought Peter Dinklage meant. I thought he meant, like, it's an abomination that you're going to CGI all these actors. Oh, I thought Peter Dinklage meant, like, can we stop with the Dorkf? Oh, just in general. Yeah, like, I think he was like, they live in a cave. Like, this is offensive to dwarfs.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Got it. Yeah, he was saying, like, you're so progressive with your Latina, Snow White, but still you're going to cast seven little people in a cave. But they could have... Isn't the movie called Snow White the Seven Dwarfs? Of course, but, like, they, I think maybe, and I'm not sure what Disney is planning on doing, but I think just elevate the dwarfs and don't make them look like losers in a cave. Like, let's just kind of change the perception of them.
Starting point is 00:34:51 And I, again, I cannot speak. as someone from that community, I do think that those people should have been casted because now what? They're CGIed and their voiceover. I think it's horrible. I think it's absolutely horrible that seven people could have been employed on a set.
Starting point is 00:35:07 And then in my mind, I'm like, okay, well, it's obviously less money. You have to hire seven actors. You don't have to have seven extra actors on set. Who cares? Right. So does feel like a slight. I mean, they'll be voiced by actors
Starting point is 00:35:19 who are not little people. I think it's really. awful. I think that any other type of character, whether it's women or children, like we would have regular actors doing this. So why are you singling out this bunch of actors and saying, like, we'll just CGI this bunch.
Starting point is 00:35:36 That's crazy. Well, I'd be curious what Peter Dinklage, is he just saying, like, don't make the movie, or it's dated? Like, I'm curious his take, I guess, I didn't listen on a whole podcast, maybe we should have prepped by listening to that. But I'm like, his thing was just kind of like, it seems like, let's not stereotype
Starting point is 00:35:50 people from this community. as like living caves and stuff. Right. But don't have them live in a mansion. Have them be broed out. That would be so awesome. All these like, like I think they could make them, I really think they could lift them up. And just do something different.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Totally. That would be so fun. Make them the stars. Well, in Harry Potter, they run the banks. Okay. All right, Tessa, did you look that up? Yes. So he is an American professional wrestler and that's his ring name is Hornswoggle.
Starting point is 00:36:19 And it's a little person. Yes. He's five or five. WWE wrestlers. Okay. So now they're saying the other controversy, it's highly political, actually, against of the two main characters. So Galgado is, she's former Israeli defense forces.
Starting point is 00:36:34 She is very pro-Israel. She's very outspoken about it. She's from Israel. She's served for the IDF, I understand it. And Rachel Ziegler on the other side of the coin is very pro-Palestine, free Palestine, very anti-Trump. She has come out very, very loud and proud anti-Trump. And so these two actresses, they're saying,
Starting point is 00:36:54 have just sort of like an inability to be around each other or see eye to eye in any way. Okay, so they don't align politically. But I guess what, it says, they attended a premiere. They smiled and posed side by side. So this isn't like a Justin Maldoni, Blake lively thing. Like they're faking it.
Starting point is 00:37:09 But they presented together at the Academy Awards. It was a little awkward. Okay. I think that they're both very passionate about their side of the aisle. Yeah. And I understand that they have a failure to communicate because of this. So it's very, I guess, uncomfortable on set.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Well, aren't they kind of enemies in the movie? Maybe this will be good for the movie. I guess the movie's already been shot. The movie's been shot. But I'm saying, like, isn't it Snow White, the Evil Queen? Yeah. Maybe it'll make it better. I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:37:39 I think that, like, it has become a PR strategy in recent years with, Don't worry, darling. And obviously, not a strategy, but with it ends with us. To have the drama. Have a lot of drama. It makes people go see the, these movies, I will say, this is not going to make me see the movie. I would see the movie regardless, but that the feud between the actors is never really
Starting point is 00:37:59 going to make me see a movie. I'm pissed about the Dwarf. AI Dors. I am too. That will make me not go see the movie. This is actually the worst thing they could have done. Keep them in the story, but not hire people to play them. Like, if Peter Dinklage's whole stance was like, let's not do this, then remove them from
Starting point is 00:38:19 the story, make a whole different snow white. all together. Again, it wouldn't have been the same at all. But, like, this is actually, it's like the worst of both worlds. I find it reprehensible. I don't think there is. Are we missing something? Well, how dare they?
Starting point is 00:38:31 I think there's no other class of people I've ever heard of where they're like, you know what, just make them computer people. They're half of the story. They're in the title. Yeah, they're in the title. So this movie comes out this week, you know, see it or don't. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And we will wrap it up with another beef. going on. Kim Kardashian contemplating court request to strip Kanye West of custody of their kids after song drama. So he used Northwest, him and Kim's daughter, in a song that he did with Diddy, just like a small snippet of her. She's on this track now that Kim was obviously against and said, don't release it and he just released it anyway against her wishes. So basically he had said that he needed North to do vocals for the Sunday service that he does. So she recorded something under that premise. And then he recorded a song with Diddy and the beginning of the song is a recording of a conversation between him and Diddy in prison. And Diddy is saying, thank you for
Starting point is 00:39:31 taking care of my children. Connie West puts out this song. Right. And Kim Kardashian said, she has, she has trademarked all four of her children's names and she owns the trademark. So Connie West cannot make music with their children and put it out without her permission, essentially. Didn't North have a song? That might have been something that Kim Kardashian, She approved. She would have to approve everything. Kim is like letting her make music to an extent. And then this other thing that just happened was I guess Playboy Cardi posted a Instagram
Starting point is 00:40:03 story that was like North let's hit me with the verse. Like I want to work with you kind of whatever. Like I'm paraphrasing and then Kim reposted it. So in support of it. So it's less about the music and it's more about she's on a track with Diddy, which understandable. But the that's what it's about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:20 So then Kanye is releasing text messages between them. I was watching just different takes on this. Bethany Frankel. Did you see her? No. She's always got to, she's always got a way in. Comment and weigh in on everything.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Yeah. So she was saying, which I agree. I don't always agree with her, that she's been through this, you know, divorce and custody and everything. Yes. And she was just like, Kim is texting him like he's a rational person.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Good point. Her first mistake. Yes. And she should never be speaking. to him directly. You should be speaking to him by proxy. And then she just kind of went on to talk about what custody means. And a lot of people think about custody in terms of time spent. And you get your full time, your part time, your weekends, whatever. But she should have decision making. So I guess that's the legal language for like Kim would have decision making powers over
Starting point is 00:41:08 the kids. And that's what's most important, not like the time spent with dad or whatever. So I just thought that was interesting. But like she's so right. Like I get it. Like whoever you are, celebrity or not, you want to like fire off that text, but it's crazy that she texts with him. I think she thinks she can probably talk some sense into him. I mean, she has seen a rational version of him, right? She chose to have four children with him. She's married him for a long time.
Starting point is 00:41:32 I think that she's like, if anybody can get through to him, I can. But yes, to Bethany Frankl's point, like he's not a well person and you're not going to be able to rationalize with him. And also, it's not just being protected for your children. She genuinely owns the trademark. So no one can do anything with their children,
Starting point is 00:41:48 which made sense. by the way, that she would trademark her children's likeness because they're very famous. And so she would be in control of this. And Kanye has signed off on that. But did you know that these trademarks are expired? What? So she's fighting a game. She already lost?
Starting point is 00:42:07 And I have to know if you think Kim knows she's bluffing. Or do you think she just forgot to renew these trademarks? Oh my God. She's doing a lot. She's doing a lot. She should be focused on her daughter's trademarks. So I saw this on the U.S. Sun and Daily Mail. I feel like not a lot of people are reporting on this,
Starting point is 00:42:24 but they got the info from the U.S. trademark office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Northwest has all these trademarks for all kinds of stuff. For everything she could do, skin care, music, whatever. She is one that's currently not abandoned. It's for toys. So this isn't a toy. This is music.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Okay. And they can make bobbleheads of Northwest. Right. Like, do you think she knows? Do you think she is bluffing? and thinks he won't check. Also, do you think Kanye knows? Like, I would love to see him.
Starting point is 00:42:53 I can't stand him, obviously. We're not on his side. But I'd like to see him clap back. Like, these trademarks are expired, Kim. I think that Kim is doing both. You know, I think that Chris is on it. You know, the devil works hard. Chris works harder.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I feel like Kim is trying to scare Kanye while Chris is behind the scenes renewing this trademark. Well, they have not been renewed. They're dead. They're just dead in the water. Like, I could buy them. Because we buy them. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Do you think plot twist? We're in charge now. So she says I have the trademarks. Well, you don't. Can be bluffing. And basically she said to Kanye, like, take this down. I own this trademark. And he fired back with, I'll fucking ruin your life and you'll have to kill me.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I'll never stop. Yeah. And he said it's a lot of terrible things. What he wrote, like the man makes the final decision. It's just like, you're probably not going to get the final. You're going to get buried here. But I don't know. he's kind of like, what does he have on her?
Starting point is 00:43:50 I think he could ruin her life and has nothing to lose. I'm just like, what does he have on the Kardashians? Yeah. They have more bodies buried than anybody. She's not doing herself any favors right now anyway. She's not. So I don't know, but then I'm like, Kanye, he'd just be talking. Like, I'll ruin you.
Starting point is 00:44:10 You're going to kill me. Shut up. I just, I'm ready to see what comes out about Chris, about Kim. Like, I think that he is in possession of some pretty crazy shit. Well, he has the proof that Chris put out the sex tape. But do you think Kanye is... Do you think he's real? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:44:30 So there's that whole theory that this is not him. Kristen Cavalieri was talking about it. I guess he was on record. He was like, I'll come back as a clone. So, and he does look a little different. Have you heard that theory that this Kanye is a clone? and they've taken the other one. Who?
Starting point is 00:44:49 I don't know. I'm not sure. You guess the government. So I don't know. I just think that's a funny. I think I saw Kristen Keller talking about in a clip and I was really laughing. I don't see her, I don't usually see her so passionately dive into like a conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:45:04 You sent it to me. Yeah. So that's really what's happening. I mean, it's all just so gross. Yeah. And I think that also like, I think he manipulated his daughter on top of us.
Starting point is 00:45:15 She is young and impressed. And I can't see her father sort of selling her the idea of being on a rap with Diddy. But he told her this was for Sunday service. Like this is really unfair to your child too. No, he's scary. He's like a real loose canon in the truest sense of the word. So I'm saying like I can't even fathom what he's going to put out about the Kardashians. But I think he would have done it.
Starting point is 00:45:36 It's been years of this. He's had so many public conflicts with Kim. I don't know. I think he's put out what he has. I don't know. My feeling is I don't think there's some body bearing. I think there's always more. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:50 I think we have not had evidence. We haven't scratched the surface. I don't think we have real proof that Chris put out the sex tape and she clearly did. Does anyone even care anymore? I care. I would love to see those conversations. You think we don't have proof? I thought Chris put the sex tape out.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Yeah. I really knows. You should put it back. Chris has not confirmed. I don't think anyone cares anymore. Don't you think they'd be like she did do it, but it paid off. I wish, well, Kim, the whole season a couple years ago was about like how there's more of it coming out and people have more footage. And Kanye went and got it.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Oh, my God. That fake scene. Yes. Like there's one copy. There's the VHS, everybody. He showed up with his suitcase. He bought like outside of Penn Station with some VHS tapes in it. All right.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Well, this kind of leads us into something else we wanted to discuss, which is just children as creators in general. and something that was kind of hot, at least in California, towards the end of 2024, and still was a new law that really went to a fact that kind of strengthened the already existing law of what kids make when they're family influencers, things like that. Yeah, I think there's been a lot of talk about this because so many parents use their children in their content. And you and I were talking about it wouldn't be getting these brand deals otherwise. Certainly would not be getting these views otherwise. There's an article in Vulture. The premises are family vloggers really leaving California to avoid paying their kids.
Starting point is 00:47:17 So there is a preexisting law in California. It's called the Coogan Law. In 1939 ruling that requires child actors, employers, meaning like their parents, to keep 15% of their earnings into a trust. So big time in Hollywood, people bring their kids here, their kids are making out of this money. Parents would steal all their kids' money. Yeah. But it basically, I mean, it says Illinois, Minnesota also have versions of that law in the books, while other states have introduced similar ones.
Starting point is 00:47:40 But then a new bill, I guess, was signed. to Senate Bill 764. This was last year. Mandates that parents of children shown in at least 30% of monetized online content set aside the same proportion of earnings into a trust until the child turns 18. So I guess just went a little harder on it.
Starting point is 00:47:56 And that's going to be a lot of these family vloggers. And it doesn't, we were looking into it. It doesn't necessarily mean that like if you get a deal from pamper's, which you're only getting because you have a baby and then you have your baby in it or your small child, that's like a deal that you don't, that doesn't really fall under it, but like YouTube earnings fall under it, which really affects all those family vloggers. And so, again, there's no proof that some of these family vloggers
Starting point is 00:48:22 move to Tennessee or wherever they moved because of this, but people were speculating. And I mean, we just find it interesting. I mean, I don't really trust any of these, like, family vloggers. Like, I think it's always exploitative. Like, I'm always a little suspicious of families who have, like, clearly chosen to use their kids for those platforms before their kids can make the decisions. Like, You definitely know there's kids out there that want to be famous and they beg their parents. I mean, one of my college girlfriends has that type of daughter. She's like, can I have a YouTube channel? And she's just like begging for it.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And they don't want it. They're good parents. They don't want to put their kid on the internet. But they, you know, sometimes kids like they will wear you down. And that's understandable. Same with kids that really want to act and all that. But I don't, it feels mostly really exploitative and wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I mean, this has been going on for a long time. You look at Bravo and at dates. back to the housewives so many years ago and so many people, especially the original housewives like Teresa Judice and Ramona Singer. I mean, all of their children grew up on television long before they ever had a right to sign off on whether
Starting point is 00:49:22 they wanted to be on television. And the only time you see these kids pooled from these shows when these couples split up and one of the parents refuses, typically the husband, refuses to let the child film. And that's really just to affect the wife negatively. That's not really for the child's benefit because they were previously on it.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Right. It's hard to watch. wonder like the effect this has on people, you know, all four of Teresa Judeis' kids, and I'm just cherry picking her, there's hundreds of people like this, all four of her kids grew up on television so much before they could make those decisions. And that doesn't feel fair to me. I know. And you got to think about how you have kids with. I mean, and there's another headline we saw, and it says Grimes says that she begged Elon Musk to keep their kids offline. You knew who you chose to have kids with. I'm never, everyone to like blame a woman. Clearly, Elon is the villain in this situation and always but like this man who had all these other kids he was an absent father to you went into it
Starting point is 00:50:17 like I don't know it's like kind of you know who you married I mean that's kind of another conversation too it's like the same women who are married to these terrible lawmakers that want to strip women of their rights it's like oh you just think you're going to be safe like you think you won't be affected like what do you think was going to happen you thought this guy this guy was going to be a good dad because with that one it kind of started after the CEO was shot and killed. And so they're using, I think her thing is, he's using him as a thing to, like,
Starting point is 00:50:46 not get assassinated. So, like, he's never been, like, I mean, I agree to your point, but it's the fact that this one child is the one that's being picked out of his 13 children. It's the, yeah. He has a relationship with. And he's, like, bringing him around
Starting point is 00:50:59 and people are, like, speculating that it's just for his own protection, which is sick. Yeah, I mean, I feel for all of these children that don't get to make these choices for themselves. And, you know, you just, you look at all these people that are thrust into the spotlight and are helping their parents on top of that make money. And it's like, what do they get at the end of this? And everybody takes
Starting point is 00:51:19 this to different length. I was watching, um, Elisa Schlesinger's new special. She's a new comedy special out on Amazon right now. And she's talking about how she doesn't post photos of her children and she doesn't even do comedy about her children. Because she's like, I don't want in 10 years, 20 years my kids to look back and listen to these stories about themselves that I wrote that are stamped on the internet forever. And everybody takes it to a different length. But I really just feel for these kids so much that are like in their parents' content. Their parents are just getting brand deal after brand deal. And like, what money goes to them. And I understand this is different than child actors because those parents can say, well, I build a platform and I do all the work and I do the editing. I do the promotion and the commenting.
Starting point is 00:51:55 But like there has to be a kickback for these kids. Yes. And there's like, again, it's, to me, I don't know. There is a lot of nuance there. People want to see cute content of families on the internet. You know, also, and people want to make money. You know, I think there's, like, a lot of ethical gray area here. We're not saying that every parent who has their kids and their content is a bad parent. I hope that that's not coming across. Like, I just think there's this, like, really extreme. I mean, there's a lot of abuse documented in a lot of these families.
Starting point is 00:52:26 And, yes, of course, like spending all the money that your kids helped you earn. There's that. And, yeah, how is a kid going to look back on it when they grow up? So I just think every situation is different. There's like a wide spectrum of it. There's such a wide spectrum and it's like, well, where's the line? Like there's a couple of things I particularly like. I like Kat Zickler's video with her daughter.
Starting point is 00:52:45 They're so sweet. And they're always just like cooking a cake or something together doing a little dance. I find it so sweet. Or Alex Bennett is a friend of ours and she does these great videos with her infant daughter where she's just teaching her lessons and they're laying in bed together. And I like love that content. And it feels like light and cute. And then you get into this long form of vlogging content that is really like hours
Starting point is 00:53:06 long pictures into people's lives and that feels so much more intrusive to me and unfair. Yeah. It's an interesting conversation. And California is obviously leading the charge on trying to protect these children, but there's still like a lot of loopholes and even gray area when it comes to this too. Yeah. And they're saying it's highly unenforceable. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Like I guess you were saying your kid has to just grow up and sue you. They do. And they have to have a tally of all these things. Right. So it's just, it's interesting. I think we, it's a whole new world now with like brand deals for Instagram. And most of these laws apply more to like YouTube families because it's YouTube ad sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Okay. Well, we just want to run through a few headlines. We're not going to deep dive them. Just want to let you guys know what's going on this week. Okay. So Harry Jousie and Lucy Hale confirmed romance after cozy dinner sighting. She broke up with Stephen? No, this is a different person.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Lucy. Lucy is her name and tell me lies. Why does I think Lucy is Lucy? Lucy. Am I okay? Did I just have a stroke? I was thinking Lucy from Tommy Lise, which what is her name?
Starting point is 00:54:11 That's very funny. It is Lucy. She broke up with Stephen? No. It's not Grace Van Patton. Grace Van Patton. Similar energy to Lucy Hale. Sure.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Forget it. Both beautiful women. I can't believe people are still dating this dude. Every single woman is like, I'm going to take a crack at this. It's not like Pete Davidson to me. It's like Pete Davidson pulls into port. and he like seems like he could he says he's a professional boyfriend but like Harry Jowsey is
Starting point is 00:54:41 still getting all these women to sign up that is crazy well speaking to people I can't believe women are still dating is Donald Trump Jr. Oh that's not who I thought you were going to next so Donald Trump Jr. has like a new girlfriend he's got to flawn her around because I guess because Tiger Woods has been quietly dating his ex-wife speaking of other people I can't believe people are dating sex addict Tiger Woods do you Tiger Woods, whatever. Do you think there's anyone more repulsive than Donald Trump, besides Eric Trump?
Starting point is 00:55:11 Besides his brother, no. Literally, Beavis and Butthead. Like, it's, they're so repulsive at every level. I know. Anyway, so Tiger Woods is with his ex, and I guess, like, nobody cares, whatever. Okay. That's not what I thought you were going to say.
Starting point is 00:55:26 The next headline, Love is Blind, Sarah Carton, denies rumors she is dating Joey Levile. She denies it, but Monica says it's true. Yeah, so we don't know. This is a developing story. Maybe we'll talk about it more last week. But I could see it. I could see Sarah and Joey.
Starting point is 00:55:40 She said that the four of us were essentially in a love triangle. Her and Ben. Yes, Love Square. That her and Ben and that Monica and Joey, like they did sort of cross date. Monica, she's denying it. Monica said the whole time I was complaining to Sarah about him, she was with him. So she is not mincing words or being like, maybe it is. Maybe it is.
Starting point is 00:56:03 She's like, they're together. Okay. I'm just going to do two. These are in the same vein. Nikki Glazer is going to return as host for the Golden Globes next year, obviously. Love to see it. Can you imagine? What if they didn't?
Starting point is 00:56:14 And then Conan O'Brien is going to return to the 2026 Oscars. He jokes the only reason is to hear Adrian Brody finish his speech. Don't get me started on that. That was the worst thing. Monopolization of people's time. Okay. And he was wearing his girlfriend's earring as a pin. He threw his gum at her.
Starting point is 00:56:30 She was into it, though. She loved it. He wanted it. Harvey Weinstein's ex-wife. I'll throw gum at her too. Him throwing his gum. And then speaking nonsense for six minutes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:42 All right. And finally, Bad Bunny strips down and new Calvin Klein underwear ads. They're too hot. They would be on my ceiling if I was in middle school. Right?
Starting point is 00:56:51 Like, they would be like wallpaper in my bedroom. They're too sexy. Like, I used to cut up Abercrombie bags and they would be like on my walls. Because those like sexy models. What a throwback.
Starting point is 00:57:02 This was like, This would be, he's so hot. Do you remember the Abercrombie catalog? Yeah, girl. Oh, the catalog. For like the OG thing I masturbated to. Yeah. It's original porn. No, I didn't masturbate to men until I was like in my 30s.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Okay. Well, he looks incredible and I love this. Calvin Klein loves a little bit of a short king. Right? How, God money is short? Isn't Jeremy Allen White? Like, Bedmoney's 511. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Okay, he's a normal size. Okay, right. Unlike Justin Trudeau. Thorough? Trudeau. Thoreau. Trudeau is the Canadian Prime Minister. Which is the Prime Minister.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Justin Thoreau. The actor Thoreau got married this week and I learned he was 5'9. I can't believe you didn't. That's what he looks like to me. He looks 5'9 to me. I mean, you and I just talk all the time about how actors are so short and you don't know it because he is the tallest person on running point. You think?
Starting point is 00:57:52 I think he's taller than his brothers. No, that guy, Ness is so tall. He's the shortest brother. Is he? Yes. He's the shortest brother. He's always in a scarf. He's the villain now.
