Welcome to The Snack, a lighter serving of Girls Got to Eat.
This is a Dear Media production.
Enjoy.
Okay.
Hi.
You caught me off guard.
I was just saying I was greeting you.
This is really weird.
So if you guys are watching, Ashley's outside.
This is the first time I've ever seen you record outside.
And this is the first time I've ever recorded with such an official radio mic and giant headphones.
Yeah.
No, I just am realizing what I'm seeing.
I'm in the element.
I'm in the yard
and you have never
worn headphones like that.
You're out here
just like a NBA player
on game day,
beats by Dre,
over ear headphones,
never seen him.
I know,
I feel like so official.
So Jeremy,
my good friend,
he ubered me
a microphone and headphones
because I'm in New York
so I don't have anything.
And it's really official.
It's a little too official,
if I'm honest.
I like the vibes.
I feel sexy.
You got a lot going on
on your ear.
Like it's really brave to wear a hat and headphones.
Like I have sensitive ears.
I can't do that.
I feel that in New York, I was walking around,
I was talking about the hat and sunglasses this morning
because I was crying on the street.
You know, I love to cry in New York City.
There's no place I love to cry outdoors more than New York City.
It's still the only place in the world where you can cry
and dry hump in public and no one turns an eye.
No one cares at all.
It is also, I just want to say, and that we can move on from Halloween.
I lived in New York my entire life.
I've never seen a Halloween.
decoration in New York City, not one time, not ever.
People do not have space for Halloween decorations in New York City.
No one's keeping skeletons year round.
Wait, like in restaurants?
No, I mean on the houses.
Did you?
It is wall-to-wall Halloween decorations in New York City.
There are skeletons every inch of this city.
I've never seen anything like it.
And I put on my Instagram story yesterday those three bodies hanging off of that building.
It was insane.
No, Rayna, I think this is personal to you and where you,
used to live because people have always been rolling like this. Like I used to go up to this house
and like welcome trick-or-treaters with this girl that used to host it on like the Upper East Side.
West Village has always been decor. Like you and I were just living in the East Village where it's all
college kids who don't have any, don't give a fuck or don't have any money or whatever.
So Melanie said that to me too. Melanie was like, because you don't hang out in the rich neighborhoods.
She was like, rich people have all this things in the world. Yeah. And I never used to, I didn't
live on the West Side. Exactly. So it's been there. We just weren't privileged enough to experience it.
I have just felt like in general a lot of Halloween decor this year. It does feel like it's like on steroids. Like people are getting way more into spooky season. I love to see it. It's crazy. I mean, there are like 15 skeletons outside of a lot of houses in New York. I'll send you pictures. Why would you not decorate? Like so you're out here, you're about to buy a house, which were like so wonderful. It's so exciting. We're so proud, everything. But I had posted a couple weeks ago, I walked by this house in my neighborhood in L.A. and it was a full beetle juice front yard. Like it was like a full size. Bealers.
It had all this decor.
And I was like, this is what I would do day one
of buying a home, whether it was Halloween or not.
Like, I would be so into Halloween decorations.
So I want to ask you, do you think you would do that?
I don't know, but I was excited to tell you this.
I think I'm going to have my first Christmas tree this year.
And I'm so excited because I'm Jewish.
Jews don't have Christmas trees.
Oh, right.
Jews don't do that.
Guys, brain is converting to Christianity this year.
I just, I think it's delightful and festive.
And I already picked out where I want to put it in the house,
and I've never had it.
decorations and I feel that I could really decorate the shit out of a Christmas tree. And I'm very
excited. Yes. So you do have these like two living rooms. The house is stunning. You guys are
going to die when you see it. I don't know. Maybe you'll do a home tour. Maybe you won't. No,
we have a lot of reels coming, you guys. Okay. Rayna's going to be on her content game. You could do a
Christmas room. You could make one of those living rooms the Christmas room. Like why not?
The one with the fireplace just fucking holiday and out. That's the one. I'm going to hold stockings.
Yeah. Stockings.
One for a Zool.
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
I'm going to be there.
And then our other friend who bought a house, you mentioned her on the episode.
Yeah.
They're engaged, her and her, fiancee, yeah.
And they have like a massive, like, I don't know, 20, 30.
I don't know what feet are.
Ceilings.
I don't either.
So they're going to do, like, a giant Christmas tree.
You could, too.
You have, like, a high ceiling.
I'm going to.
So my first Christmas tree this year, stay tuned.
I got tons of reels coming about the house, the renovation.
So hopefully the house is renovated and I moved in by then.
So anyway, guys, holiday.
or all holidays is on steroids this year.
So get into it.
Yeah.
Snoze you lose.

Okay, before we get into our reports, multiple reports for the,
the day. We do need to say where we're coming from. So I am holding it down in Delaware. I am on
the ground here in the president's home state. I've sometimes forget he's the president
still. I've seen him in a minute. But I'm here. He might be here. He might be here. Recovered
from COVID again. I feel like he retired whatever day they announced that Kamla was running.
That's it. He passed the buck quick. No, so I am here in Rahobith, Delaware, my brother's house.
And my brother's this great office, but he's in the office.
And I didn't want to be in the bedroom because the two kids are upstairs sleeping,
so I'm out here in the wild.
It's crazy.
My sister-in-law helped me set up out here.
We got an umbrella for trying our best.
That is crazy.
Stay tuned.
If anyone starts mowing their lawn, I'll fucking lose my mind.
But where are you reporting from, Raina?
Well, obviously I'm in New York City.
I'm reping the Yankees cap.
That's where I am.
I'm in New York without you.
I've been here for, I'm going to be here for two weeks.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
I was there.
and then I'm doing week two abroad in Delaware, and you went back to New York.
I have less plans now that you're not here.
Take it easy.
We did a lot.
Yeah.
Okay.
We're going to kick it off with the chicken report.
This is so funny.
This comes inspired from Tessa's text to us like an hour ago being like, you guys,
what is the difference between Brianna Chicken Fry and Chicken Shop date?
And we were like, honestly, fair question.
Is that what you asked Tessa?
Basically, she was confused on Brianna, chicken,
fry because chicken shop girl is in the news.
So Tess, do you feel caught up?
I thought they were the same person, so I was very confused on why both news stories were
not, like, converging and why they weren't bigger deals until Rana's had a picture
of chicken fry girl.
Well, that would be crazy if Brianna's chicken fry was the one that did the date with
Andrew Garfield coming off her potential.
That's why they broke up.
I know.
I was like, this was hot tea.
Why is this not being covered?
Well, after really weeks of speculation about Brianna Chicken Fry and Zach Bryan, he confirmed the breakup.
He posted something else.
Yeah, he confirmed the breakup today.
Wait, I thought we were just speculating.
Oh, no, sis.
He posted.
He posted.
I'll read it to you.
In the last hour?
In the last hour.
Okay.
In the last hour.
Piping hot tea.
I've been getting my outdoor office set up, so I wasn't paying attention.
No, so to be honest, so I set the article that you originally read this morning said,
speculation and then he's confirmed.
Oh, no.
So we're not like happy about this.
Like we think she's great.
And if you guys don't know who she is, I mean, she kind of, what, rose to fame from
Barstool.
She has a podcast on Barstall.
She got the original Hawk toa girl interview.
Am I right?
Yes.
And then he, Zach Brian is Zach Bryan, you know, famed country singer.
But, um, they've been together for a year.
And I really loved their love.
I love their photos together.
They seem so happy and obsessed with each other.
I mean, them and Cat and Jason really made me believe in love.
Yeah.
You still have me.
I do have you.
And you and Sparkleyes better never break up because then I'll never believe in love again.
I mean, you would never see me again.
I would just follow it.
You never see either of us.
We would kill each other.
Me and Tessa would just host the podcast together from now on.
I feel like I'd be the daily show and I would like interview hosts every single week to see who could take your place.
No, I would never do it.
I mean, once you got past the trauma, you would thrive.
Yeah.
I'm acting like I'm dying.
I guess it is what I said.
Okay.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Well, you did say you were going to die.
Anyways, Zach Brian, he did confirm.
He put it on his story and he was vague enough, but he said, you know, we respect and love
each other.
I love her underconditionally.
I've had an incredibly hard year personally, struggled through some pretty severe
things.
I thought it would be beneficial for us both to go our separate ways.
I am not perfect.
I never will be.
Please respect Brianna.
with everything I am to anyone I let down.
I'm sorry.
I try my best in everything.
I failed people that love me and mostly myself.
I don't know.
So it's cryptic.
I mean, assuming he's taking responsibility
for the breakup people have speculated
that he's cheated in the past.
She as of now has not confirmed or denied anything.
So he's taking responsibility saying,
I love her.
This is over, though.
I've had a hard year.
Maybe it was all downhill after the Taylor Swift tweet.
I mean, it didn't help.
You never know.
Well, she did respond. She posted, as of this recording, I'm feeling really blindsided right now. I'm going to hop up social media for a while, attempting to help privately while I'm ready. I'll be back and ready to talk. Love you guys so much. Thank you for your kind words. Remember, you are so loved and everything's always going to be okay. Well, there you go. He blindsided her. Or, you know, in her words, he did this. Or maybe announcing this also blindsided her. I think a lot of couples are just like we would like to at least honor our relationship by how.
having some type of mutual statement, and that's sort of not what happened.
But, I mean, he didn't say anything unkind about her, but Lord knows what really happened.
Who knows? You never know.
Never know.
Okay. Well, one relationship ends and another begins when it comes to the chicken update.
So let's talk about the chicken shop date.
Andrew Garfield, I love him so much.
He's the star of the social network, one of my favorite movies.
Oh, God. That's funny. He's Spider-Man to me.
Oh my God.
Right now, that's a real.
That was very palenial of you.
Social, the social network is like a top 10, maybe top five desert island movie for May.
Yeah, okay.
Anyway.
I just think of him as Spider-Man, and I'm not even, you know, I'm not like a comic book girly, but he's my favorite, even though I have no others to name.
Toby McGuire.
There is that.
Look at you go.
Okay.
I'm a comic book girly.
Big X-Man fan.
Okay, anyways, go for it.
So he did this interview with Amelia de Moldenberg.
She's a British comedian, and she just does these chicken shop dates with celebrities.
They're about 10 minutes on YouTube.
It's her YouTube series.
And I saw she as like, she said Paul Mezcal.
She's had different celebrities.
And she prior had two like kind of flirty, cute interactions with Andrew Garfield, like
on a red carpet, things like that.
And so people were noticing and, like, wanted her to have him on.
So sounds like some people were shipping them.
And then she was like, okay, well, I'm going to have him on the chicken shop date.
So basically she just goes to, like, a chicken shop.
The way their shot is very funny because they'll just be, like, random B-roll cuts in the chicken
shop of, like, a friar, of, like, an employee, of, like, a sign.
It's just, I'd never watch one before.
And so it's, like, an interesting watch.
And then they're just, like, having a date.
And I don't know if she typically, like, I think she's in a case.
in character, right? That's like the vibe
is she's like on an awkward date. That's kind of like
her character. She's not so awkward. She's not like
between two ferns. But
it's not, I don't know. I was like, does she typically
prep a lot of questions? Like that wasn't the vibe. It was
very just natural her and Andrew
flirting for 11
minutes. I was like, this is my
favorite rom-com. Like
between nobody wants this and this
11-minute YouTube, rom-coms
are back. Good rom-coms are back.
So I told you about this. I'm like, you see
you're like, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, just
watch it. And you were like, can you explain it to me? I was like, no, just watch. It's so
delightful. Like, if you give it like two minutes, you'll give it all 11. It's just, I need
30 seconds. Yeah. I mean, I feel like the news lately has been kind of heavy. And this is just
like a really delightful, wonderful thing to watch. They're so cute together. He's like,
I'm flirting with you. And she was like, he says really, can I have your number? And she's like,
I've given it to you. You literally have it. You've asked for it before.
Yeah. So it's very cute. And they clearly have a connection.
And like, of course, we want to believe, like, he's smitten, but he's an actor.
Like, I saw one comment on YouTube.
The comment section is lit on YouTube.
Very funny stuff.
Like, just really positive as far as I could see.
And this one comment said, my head, colon, their performers, my heart, colon, their soulmates.
And I was like, that's how I feel because I'm wrestling back and forth with, like, he's an amazing actor, you know, and she's clearly, like, a performer.
And she's in character, too.
But you want to believe that they, like, have this cute thing.
I really enjoyed it.
I mean, you watch it and you're like, why aren't more interviews like this?
But then you're like, oh, right, because like men would come off like a creep if they were like coming on to the person who was interviewing them.
But this feels very mutual and cute back and forth bantery and she likes it.
And he's being like a little tepid.
And so she, it's just, it's so delightful to watch.
It really was.
I mean, if you can essentially watch someone get together for the first time, you know, like some people are calling it like a soft launch.
Obviously, they're not dating as far as we know.
But when you get to watch people connect like that who end up dating, I mean, what a privilege.
You know, I think of Serena Kerrigan, who we had on our show, and she did her now boyfriend's
podcast.
And, like, that's how they got together.
And she's certainly not the first one.
I know there's, like, other stories out there like that.
But it's like, if you have a real couple and they real end up dating, they end up being together,
getting married, whatever, and you can watch or listen back that first interaction.
It's just, it's really special.
You know, you got on record.
You know what reminds me of is my last relationship we met, recording.
a podcast.
Sorry, also, Rana.
That's for ethics.
That's what I was trying to.
Well, the episode is so funny because I'm, he's talking about being kind of like newly,
he was married before me and how he was like getting into the dating game again and
how to talk to girls on dating apps and how to take sexy picks.
And I'm explaining to him in the episode how to talk to girls and take sexy picks.
And like, what kind of, I was like explaining to him like the gray sweat pants.
And it's just, it's very cute to like watch yourself flirt with somebody for the first time.
Yes, yes. I did this thing during COVID and like, I'm not going to like be too detailed about it. But like I did this like, you know, we were all doing like lives with people. You know, like we did stuff with Matthew Hussey. We were doing in quarantine. We were doing all that kind of stuff. And like I did one with this guy. He was just interviewing different people. And it was so flirty. We ended up getting together on a like real life like coffee date, I guess, back when we came back to the city. And it just, we weren't a match. But like people.
People got to watch this. People were messaging me, like, what did I just watch?
And, you know, people are commenting in real time, and they're like, is this, you guys don't know each other.
Like, people are, like, losing their mind. So it was just like, it would have been a pretty strong meet cute, but it didn't work out.
But it was really, like, super, genuinely hot and heavy flirty on that Instagram live.
It's amazing to watch. You're like, are these people about to fuck?
Am I witnessing two people they're about to fuck? This is crazy.
I have to tell you, like, I watched that whole thing, and I'm so sick of not having a British accent and being surrounded by people that have them.
I'm sick of it, right?
You know, like, there was that time when I was just watching and consuming so much British TV, books, pop culture, whatever.
I'm just, I'm sick of this.
I'm sick of my voice.
I'm sick of my voice.
I'm sick of everybody not having an accent.
I'm so fucking bored.
Every time I watch something like this, I'm jealous.
That's why we like, love is blind UK.
I mean, we were in love with all of them.
them. Yeah, that's what it was. It was love is fine. There was like a book I was, whatever. Oh,
the Dolly Alderton book. Yeah. So I really loved watching it. It was just like made me happy.
And I wanted to ask you, like, if you were doing that series, where would you take people?
Oh my God, that's such a good question. So do I have, to me, it would just be like, I would probably
pick a price point. So it would be like under $20 meals. So I would go to like Tompkins Square
bagels in New York. I'd go to Shi'an famous noodles. I would go to like my favorite sandwich shop,
which is FICO's.
Like, I would do, like, meals under 20 in, like, a cool place where you could get something,
like, casual and just, like, sit on a stoop.
I like that.
What would you do?
I like a stoop.
I don't know.
I was trying to think, like, food aside, would I take someone to, like, a dog shelter
and just be, like, play with these dogs.
Let's play with these dogs.
Pick your favorites, rank them.
Which one would you take home?
Or, like, something was a creak.
Like, take someone to, like, a graveyard.
Like, do something really, like, different.
Really, those are two very different ideas.
Okay.
The dog thing was delightful, and then you went graveyard.
It's spooky.
It's spooky.
I can't help myself.
I thought you might say like a sandwich, like bodega or something like that.
I don't know.
I also, you know what I like?
You know what would be fun is take people to like gas stations.
You know what?
Wawa, final answer.
Oh, what's your Wawa sandwich order?
Yeah, or your sandwich order or also your road trip snacks to like pick out your top three road trip snacks.
I love this idea.
And playlists, you're so obsessed with music.
Like, what's your playlist?
What's your road trip snack?
What's your Wawa order?
We have our YouTube series.
We'll never do, figured out.
We can actually use more stuff to do.
We're not busy enough.
That's our chicken report.
And I just wanted to give a quick sports report.
I feel like there's a lot of sports stuff.
And we're in the thick of sports seasons.
Thick of sports.
All happening at the same time.
We have the Dodgers versus the Yankees in the World Series,
which I couldn't care less about baseball.
It's my least favorite sport.
You're not going to get this otherwise.
Don't try.
But I like that it's this like New York versus L.A.
kind of like East Coast, West Coast showdown type thing.
So I just like, I thought it was cool.
I think it's so fun.
You don't have noticed this week, which is crazy.
So I always wear a Yankees cap.
I have a green, this green one I've been wearing a lot.
I wear this white one all the time.
And I wear it constantly in New York in L.A.
And this week in New York, I, every, I can't walk two feet without somebody being like,
go Yankees.
What's up?
That's like yelling at me from across the street.
Cat calling me.
This has never happened.
I do look really hot this week.
But I do.
The hat looks great.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I think it is the World Series, though.
So people are very excited.
The energy is high.
Yeah.
And I mean, I'm a Phillies fan.
I was upset when they, you know, got knocked out and they weren't going to make it to the World Series.
But it's just the sport I care the least about.
Phillies, I mean, you know, I'm going to root for the Dodgers, I guess.
Guess Raida's doing Yankees.
She's wearing the merch.
So, you know, whoever wins, that's where we're going to live, I guess.
This will determine which goes we live on.
I mean, I just, whatever a team has better merch, I also have Dodgers hats.
I have a great Dodger sweatshirt.
Like, I like the merch from both teams.
Yeah.
And then in other New York sports news, the New York Liberty won its first championship, WNBA team.
So its first championship ever.
It sounds like they've had a rocky history.
And I just love seeing this make headlines.
You know, I think this has been the year where the WMBA blew up a lot.
Not to say that people didn't love it and watch the sport before, of course,
but it was just in the news a lot more.
Of course, with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese and all the incredible players,
but this year it was more watch than ever before,
and it's only gaining popularity, which I just love to see.
I love to see these women get the recognition they deserve.
And so it felt like this win was big.
I saw like Barack post about it.
So I love to see them win the championship.
And WMBA players, all women's sports, are not compensated what they should be.
Their salaries, they don't even compare to men sports,
but also they don't bring in the money that men sports do.
there is that, you know, you can't really, it's tough to even compare the numbers when it comes to the NBA and the WMBA.
But I wanted to share this.
I just, like, thought it was interesting that at the same time that, like, the championship is happening, like, their union, the WNBA players union announced Monday that the players will opt out of their current collective bargaining agreement with the league and they're going to, like, renegotiate all this stuff.
And, like, the worst case scenario was there was, like, a stoppage and they don't play for a while.
Kaylon Clark was like speaking about that and like what that could mean, which would suck for everybody.
But in July, the WMBA announced a new 11-year media rights deal featuring a partnership with Disney, Amazon Prime, and NBC Universal that is valued at about $2.2 billion or $200 million a year.
And so they're just, they're just growing and getting more popular and like the salaries need to keep up and the facilities and everything else.
It's not just about salaries.
So they're kind of like negotiating what this looks like going forward.
and their current deal was just dated and not representative of the popularity of the sport.
And so that's what's happening right now.
They're trying to renegotiate this deal.
So hopefully everyone will get paid more.
I love to hear it.
And I love that, like, young women and girls can have more role models to look up to.
Because I think men have always been able to look up to athletes as, like, a thing to look to for discipline and good, clean fun, hobbies, things to lean into.
And women, not as much.
So to like put them at the forefront, I love it.
Not that women didn't have female role models in sports.
Of course they did.
But I love that we're like uplifting them.
We want to prove the facilities and the salaries and all that.
So the women actually like want to do this more.
Yeah.
I mean, I think it was, Angel Reese recently came out, was like, I can't pay my bills on this.
You know, I think her salary is like 73K a year.
I mean, I know they get endorsement deals and things like that.
But notoriously they don't make the top someone makes salary-wise is like 300K in that range.
So it really is pretty nuts.
And the president of the WMBA, Players Association said,
opting out of this deal isn't just about bigger paychecks.
It's about claiming our rightful share of the business we've built,
improving working conditions, and securing a future where the success we create benefits
today's players and the generations to come.
So anyway, that's what's going on.
And hopefully they figure this out and come to agreement.
And this isn't some like right or strike of the WMBA where they can't play and they can't do their jobs.
You know?
Yeah.
So that's the sports report.
Thanks for explaining it to me.
I probably fuck something up, but I'm trying, you guys.
That's not really a forte.
Okay, just going to take a quick break, and then we will get back into it.
I'm going to tell you guys about Beam.
We are all obsessed with this.
Raina, me, Tessa, tried it.
Maybe before we did.
I was like, you guys, you got to get on this.
So this is Beam.
Beam's dream powder.
It is a science-backed healthy hot cocoa for
sleep. This product has single-handedly changed the way that so many people sleep for the better. So
I feel like I have a complicated relationship with sleep, you know, I just especially with traveling a
lot. Even when I'm like at home in L.A., I just have nights where I'm just like having more trouble
falling asleep. And this is really something I love, love to do. And I'll tell you guys more
about it. But our listeners get a special discount on Beam's Dream Powder. Their science-backed
healthy hot cocoa for sleep with no added sugar. Better sleep has never tasted better.
So you're going to have this powder, you're going to make your guilt-free, but very decadent hot cocoa.
They have flavors like sea salt caramelout, brownie batter, vanilla chai.
I love the vanilla chai, and the Beam Dream powder original flavor, cinnamon cocoa.

Yes, and this show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Halloween lets us have fun with what scares us,
but what about those fears that don't involve zombies and ghosts?
Spooky. Therapy is a great tool for
facing your fears and finding ways to overcome them because sometimes the scariest thing is not
facing our fears in the first place and holding ourselves back. I mean, I just love this sentiment.
And, you know, I've always said having the conversations that scare us are always the thing like
push me forward the most. I have the best outcomes from them. But it's really, it's really scary
to do that. And therapy, it's something that Ashley and I both really believe in. It can help with
all kinds of things, positive coping skills, setting boundaries, empowering you to just be a better
version of yourself, whether it's in your romantic relationships with your friends, with family.
So if you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It is entirely online,

Okay, sexiest men alive.
So people every year does Sexiest Man Alive.
You can vote for it.
The voting is closed now, but they have a list of people that are front runners and we want to make our predictions.
Okay, so yes, so this comes from a BuzzFeed article, but it says here are some of likely candidates for Sexiest Man Alive, as well as some suggestions from fans on X.
So, Mani Jacinto, I mean, I wasn't super familiar with him.
He's super hot.
Yeah, he's sexy. I mean, the list is not really that big of a surprise. I'm a little bored with some of the people on the list.
Like, I think Robert Pattinson has, like, had his time. Like, let's uplift somebody else.
I know Glenn Powell. I'm just done with it. And even like Jeremy Allen White, listen, he's sexiest man alive and a little close to the sun for me. Like, I'm bored with it.
That's so funny. He's like, read me the list. She's like, you know, what I'm going to do is I'm going to already talk shit in. I'm going to scoop you and talk about.
I'm talking about everybody. Yeah. Well, that's why I'm into this like Mani Jacinto. And he is kind of like a new.
or her name. Like, I'm looking at like Vogue Philippines posted something end of September. And it was
like overnight, the Filipino Canadian actor was suddenly everywhere this summer. So you've seen
him a lot. So we have him, Glenn Powell. I'll get to it. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it.
You know what? And then, Paul. Next on the list is Adam Brody. And I want to say something. I
could be wrong. I feel like you're a Glenn Powell girlie or an Adam Brody girlie.
Oh. I know you can be both, but I do think there's probably two camps.
of someone who prefers that traditional, like, you know, objectively hot Glenn Powell.
And then Adam Brody, who was obviously so good looking, but like, I have never been a Glenn Powell girl.
I get it.
He's attractive.
It goes without saying.
He's like perfect body.
But like he's not for me.
He has not ever been for me.
Doesn't thrill me.
Doesn't throw me.
I'm bored with it.
Adam Brody is my pick for number one.
I think he's going to sweep this entire thing.
I think the whole country is obsessed with Adam Brody.
I think he's had a resurgence.
I think people, I mean, of course, they love this story if nobody wants this of like a secure,
healthy, communicative relationship.
And he was that on the OC also.
He just seemed like a solid guy that's not playing games with you.
I mean, I think he's going to sweep the whole thing.
Yeah, and I think people love his relationship.
He's married to Blair.
You know, I think people just really love him.
But it's so funny because, like, it's everything's Glenn Powell.
Like, I remember when I was going to watch Top Gun Maverick, which I think I just read something,
Mani Justin Toe got cut from that movie.
I would love to see him in it.
When I was about to watch Top Gun Maverick, my fiancee was like, don't look at Glenn
Powell.
Like, we'll always joke if like something, we'll be like, don't look at that.
Like, we'll say it even about our friends.
I'll be like, don't look at Allison.
You know, like, we'll just always, like, joke.
And he was like, don't look at Glenn Powell.
And I was like, he is the least of your worries.
Miles Teller is in that movie.
Miles Teller, John Hamm, Lawrence from Insecure, Jay Ellis.
Like, that movie is so full of hot dudes.
Like, he's the last on my list, you know, that I care about.
So I can't stress it enough.
We are not, he's hot, he's blowing up, he's a superstar, but we're not, we're not
Glenn Powell, girl, he's over here.
He's a boring white guy.
He's not even Jewish.
Like, what, there's something interesting about him.
I don't, I don't love his mouth.
I like a big mouth.
Someone recently said to me, like, you think he's hot, his mouth is huge.
I'm like, that's the point.
I like big lips.
I like a big mouth, like a wide smile.
lips are huge for me.
He's just got like regular white dude lips.
It's not for me.
Yeah, it's not for me.
Okay, Adam Brody, Jeremy Allen White's on the list.
You mentioned that.
Pedro Pascal.
I mean, he's, he's,
he's, he's got to be on the list.
I'm bored of it, too.
I feel like he's had his time in the sun too.
I feel like we've done this.
Didn't he win last year or the year before
or the last four years?
I don't know.
He's just, he is very sexy.
But like, I feel like he was the biggest deal
in the world last year, and I'm done with it.
Okay.
Let's uplift some other people.
Okay, we have Brian Tyree Henry, who is in the show Atlanta.
So people are liking him, which that's somebody new.
Somebody I feel like I haven't seen on these lists before.
Jensen Ackles.
So I had to look him up.
He is really sexy.
Nothing that he's in has really stuck out to me.
He was in Supernatural.
He was in Smallville.
He's more of like a TV actor.
As far as I can tell.
I mean, his big, he was in Supernatural for 15 years.
This is a random list.
It's like the biggest people, and then it's people who I'm like, why don't I know who that is?
I have seen this name.
Okay.
And then the next guy, I did not know, but he really stuck out to me.
Taylor, Zakar Perez.
That's what I'm saying.
Let's get some new faces in here.
What a smoke.
It's eyes for me.
Yeah.
And then Henry Cavill, who was mentioned on Love is Blind.
Who said he looked like him?
Nick.
Nick, or was it Hannah's neck said he looked like?
Henry Cavill. There's no similarity. I know that everybody dragged Chelsea last year for Megan Fox,
but I do believe absolutely people have told Chelsea she looks like Megan Fox. No one has told this man
he looks like Henry Cavill. That's insane. Yeah, there's an E article. Why Love is Blinds,
Nick Dorca regrets comparing himself to Henry Cavill in the pods. He said he's walked it back.
Oh, he said he was like a less buff Henry Cavill. Okay. And then we have Paul Maskell. You're probably
bored by it. I am bored. A lot. Huge fan. Bored.
Then we have Shibuzi, which I love.
Love it.
I love to see new faces.
Fresh.
I saw him live in like an intimate venue, so I feel like I can speak on it.
I love his voice.
I love his presence.
He's got a great energy, so I love to see.
I love to see Shibuzi on here.
Then Robert Pattinson.
Blah.
Like you said, why are these still?
Bored of it.
Yeah, right.
Bored of it.
Then Andrew Garfield.
I do understand.
And then finally, Travis Kelsey.
America's boyfriend.
I mean, listen, I don't want to.
root for him so hard, but who could you love more? He's so delightful. He's like the most famous
athlete alive, and he's so excited to just like be like an excited like little girl fan for his girlfriend.
I love it. I love it so much. I love him. Yeah. You were so into him before. I was actually, I was
OG, Travis Kelsey. A friend of ours reped him. And so I was and I saw them in a picture together
years ago. And I was like, who is that piece of me? So I've been a long time Travis Kelsey fan. It really
it broke my heart for a little bit when he got together with Taylor
because I thought I guess we were in a date.
And when I accepted it, I love it.
I love him so much.
Then you start standing.
So I have an unsexiest man alive while we're here,
and that's going to be Patrick Mahomes for me.
No one drives me up quicker than him, his voice,
his vibe, his wife.
I just can't.
But good for him, you know.
I have two unmentions.
Two sex season.
Yes.
I actually, I didn't go through every single one of these, so both of them might have been on one of the list.
Number one of them is Cooper Koch.
He played Eric Menendez in Netflix's monsters.
And there's a shower scene where he has a giant dick, and he has come forward saying,
I did not wear a prosthetic penis for this.
That's why?
So I'm like, what's up with him?
And then my number one man in the world, Dave Batista, I mean,
People were sending me, if you guys don't know if that is, he's a wrestler.
He was in Glass Onion.
He's a love of my life.
He rescues dogs, his mom's a lesbian, everything about him.
I'm obsessed with him.
He lost a bunch of weight saying that it was like hard to get roles because he was so big.
And people were like DM me like, are you okay?
And I'm like, I love Dave at any weight in the world.
That's the love of my life.
And if you go to his page right now, pin to the top, the number one thing is he recorded
this thing in a box and you were in calling Donald Trump a bitch.
And it's so funny.
talking about how Donald Trump
has divided the country
and he's bad for America
and you know
Oh my gosh
It's incredible and I really didn't
You're just out telling me about this?
I didn't really see it for Dave Batista
I didn't think he was going to come forward
And you know you and I can talk about it next week
A little bit but we've personally between the two
I've been talking about how like we would love to see more
Men come forward and support Kamala
You know she has the female vote
Minority votes but like straight white men
is who Donald Trump really appeals to.
And to see the straightest, whitest man,
I mean, I guess he's not the whitest
because he's half Asian.
But he's like a meathead.
Hyper masculine men.
Yeah, hyper masculine, yeah.
Come forward for Kamala.
I'd love to see it.
I think that it is really masculine
to stand up for somebody like Kamala.
I think it's a beautiful thing.
And yeah, if you guys go to his page,
it's very, it's great.
It's really well said.
And that's a love of my life.
Okay, well, you mentioned Big Dick.
So I'll throw my...
Missing off the list is my fiancé.
No, I'll throw mine into the ring.
Big Dick Paul Walter.
Okay.
Let's bring him up for the second week in a row.
And then I am going to go political and go with Jack Schlossberg,
who I felt like I was seen a lot around the DNC.
I mean, so he's a writer and a political correspondent.
He is a correspondent for Vogue.
So I feel like that's where I saw him a lot during like the Kamala,
nomination in the DNC.
He's the only grandson of John of Kennedy.
But Raina...
He's gorgeous.
No, but here's the thing.
We are probably distantly related.
And I have not talked about this.
I haven't even mentioned that I'm a Kennedy yet on this podcast.
No, seriously, this is like the hottest.
No one even knows this.
So, his name is John Bouvier, Kennedy, Schlossberg, Jack.
My grandma's maiden name was Bouvier.
Like we are very much like related to the Kennedys.
Like my grandma, grandma was Bouvier.
And Jackie Kennedy, Onassis, Bouvier, that's her maiden name.
So your grandmother's cousin was Jackie O?
Like not like the first cousin.
But yes, but like in the lineage.
Okay.
That's great.
That's amazing.
I did not know that I've been doing a podcast with a Kennedy all this time.
No, like I'm basically, like Jackie, I was basically like my grandma.
Wow, I never knew. The things you don't know about your friends.
So guys, even if I was single, I probably wouldn't fuck Jack Schlossberg because we're probably related.
So those are mine. And then again, like I mentioned Miles Teller before, but he's always my number one.
He's probably my number one hall past, but he's married. He's not available.
I love with him.
So, yeah.
Okay. Let's talk about Tell Me Lies.
I mean, one of the best finale
we've ever seen
season two, end of it,
just bomb after bomb.
You were like, I had to stare at the ceiling
for an hour.
No, I had my butthole clenched the whole time.
Like, I was so tense,
and I really had to, like, take breaks.
Okay.
So, all the spoilers ahead.
I had forgotten that Drew died.
And we talked about this,
but then Sparkle Eyes,
reminded me that they said that in the pilot,
season one episode one.
They had like mentioned it.
But I forgot.
I just forgot.
I forget so much stuff from a show I haven't watched in a while.
So it made me want to throw up like when he was trying to shake him awake.
Like Raina,
I was having trouble even like comprehending it.
And then after that it was just like you said,
bomb after bomb.
I couldn't recover.
I mean,
these show writers are so good at weaving these like plot twists throughout season one and two.
And then there's all these clip hangers.
in season three. There's a couple of them
where you're like, wait, they didn't wrap up that storyline.
And the showwriters are like, yeah, because it's for season three.
And it actually
didn't hit me until
I finished watching it, like, just how many
bombs were dropped on this show.
I mean, they wrapped up every
storyline in such a profound
way. I couldn't believe it.
Yeah. I know.
I mean, this was the
episode where I feel like I turned
on Lucy, you know, and I
had supported her. I was like a Lucy
apologist. I was like she's just under Stephen's spell. He has her all fucked up. You know, he's a
monster. And then, I don't know, like the whole stuff with Leo. Like, you know, I, I've loved
Leo and I'm an apologist for Leo too, but you are. I think you root for him to get better. I think
that that's what it is. Yeah. Oh my God, so funny. Laura just texted me. I have to tell you,
I watched the last episode, Tell Me Lies last night. Like, as we're talking about, I just got a text
from like one of my brainist friend too. But so I, we're going to reference this article with
Megan Oppenheimer, who's the showrunner, this variety interview she did. And I do want to say this.
She says, she's talking about the whole Lucy Leo Stephen thing. And she said, my parents are
going to be so proud when they hear the line, how does my cum taste? Grace Van Patten, Lucy,
actually came up to me and said, so we're saying I have sex with Stephen and then put on the
same underwear. And then Grace is like, I think she did. It's something that drives through the panic
attack she's having. Lucy isn't thinking clearly. She's running from her decision to sleep with
Stephen and looking for a safe place. It's heartbreaking. And I hope people don't hate her,
but people are just really hard on women. So I read that and I was like, okay, I don't want to
just like hate this woman. I mean, these are fictional characters too. But like, I guess I just,
you know, you and I went back and forth. And like, was her running back to Leo? Like,
was she faking it and manipulating it so she could get back with Leo and then throw him in Steven's
face? And Megan Oppenheimer saying, no, that was genuine. She was just freaking out. And really was like,
I love you. I want to be with you. And then obviously she struggled with them having sex because
she'd just had sex with Stephen. And they said that scene was so hard to shoot. They said it was
like a horror movie. And they used the very last take of like her face trying to like register like I
just said sex to Stephen. What am I supposed to do? So it does feel like it was like her just being so
supremely fucked up and not trying to like ruin Leo's life. But when he like beats the living shit out
of Stephen and then he like comes to after blacking out and he's just like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just like I hate all
of this. It made me like so pissed at Lucy, you know, for like all, like the orchestrating
all of it, even though I guess it's like not her, wasn't her intention. So anyway, sorry.
Yeah. I mean, I think that I always thought that this was her sort of running to a safe place
after doing something that made her feel unsafe. And I think we can all relate to being 19
years old and falling under the spell of somebody who's not good for us and giving up opportunities
to be with people that are better for us or maybe do things like go abroad.
or take a class.
And that's really what the book is about
is how she just continues to give up
every opportunity in her life
to make better decisions
in order to prioritize Stephen.
And I think that you can like really see it.
And I think it's relatable because like I remember being 19
and these like really toxic boys
and all these decisions you made
when you're like, you know better.
Yeah.
And so yeah, I saw it as her just trying to run
to a safe space and then being like,
what in God's name am I doing?
And that scene really beats Stephen up.
I mean, it's so violent.
It's crazy to watch.
I just, like, I think I got so upset because, like, I think Leo is this person who has had abuse and trauma growing up.
He has this anger issue.
He's trying to work on it.
He knew Lucy was bad for him once.
You know, like, after Thanksgiving, he wanted to break it off, and she lured him back in.
And then Stephen was able to provoke him.
And he, who knows what's going to happen to him?
I mean, he almost killed him.
So it was just like to watch Stephen try.
to get that reaction out of him all season, knowing he had this anger issue, trying to provoke him,
trying to get him to slap him, you know, all that stuff. It's like, and he finally did it. And then
when he laid there and like smiled, I was like, oh my, I felt like so angry at all of it. And like Lucy was
in between it and like Leo was just collateral damage. And so I just like I had such a problem with
it. But we can move on from that scene and talk about like Brie and well, he's one of the few characters,
I will say. You know, I don't really need to like somebody to enjoy the.
the character and root for them. And I think Succession, Mad Men, the Sopranos, all three shows are
anchored around terrible people, but you see good in them, and so you root for them. And Stephen is
somebody that you cannot root for. He's a terrible person. The other storylines that were really
huge, I wish I would have called this earlier because I really had a feeling that the professors
were in an open relationship and that Brea, that Marianne knew that Brie was having an affair with
her husband. I wish I would have called it. But it didn't, that did not surprise me,
but I thought a fantastic way to wrap up that storyline.
And Megan Oppenheimer has said that he will not be in the next season.
So the person who's been calling Bree in this season from an unknown number is not him.
She's confirmed.
Oliver.
Also, I thought you're going to say, Oliver, the actor that plays him is Megan Oppenheimer, the showrunner's husband.
A lot of people don't know that.
So that's her husband.
And, yeah, so just to kind of jump ahead, the number that's been calling Bree, Megan Oppenheimer has
says it's not Oliver and it's not Stephen.
So she's confirmed both of those fan things.
theories. I got to say, I did not think they were open. It's not surprising, but I hadn't had that
thought like you had. But when like he was about to tell her what was going on and he was about
to tell her they were an open relationship by my thought was like open relationship is too easy.
It's just too obvious of what he's about to say. And I was like he's going to say that she's a
lesbian and like this is some cover up for some odd reason, not that you need to hide being gay
ever, you know, especially in 2024. But like for some reason,
the thought that went through my head was she's been hitting on Lucy all semester.
Like she loves Lucy and then of course she had that creepy remark to Lucy like too bad or
I'm glad he didn't meet you first which was so fucking creepy.
But I had this thing of like she has a thing for Lucy and then I was just like yeah, I was wrong.
But anyway, you called it.
Well, what seems odd is that she barges in on them having sex together and you would think that
if they're in an open relationship, he would have been like I'm at the house having sex,
don't come here.
Which is why your theory makes more sense of her being like,
We don't have a sexual relationship.
He's not telling me he's with you because he doesn't tell me he's with anybody.
Yeah.
So there is that.
So Diana turning on Stephen, we love.
I never saw it coming.
Exploded.
No.
I'm the emoji with the head exploding.
Yeah.
I want to know what Diana was crying about in the library on Halloween.
I can't really figure that out.
That was like something because she wasn't, they made you think she was crying over something
with Stephen.
but I can't remember the timing of that if she'd seen the pictures yet.
But that was like one thing I keep thinking of.
But I wanted to read you this thing.
And I don't know if you read this from the article in Variety.
So the question Megan Oppaheimer was asked is how and when did you decide to have Diana turn on Stephen?
And she said, I hope no one saw that coming, which we didn't.
Shock at the century.
You're going to like this answer.
She said, it's funny because we got green lit officially for season two.
Hulu called me and said they really wanted to give the green light, but wanted to make sure we had enough ideas.
She said, so I had like 48 hours to bullshit some stuff.
And that was one of the things I came up with that Diana orchestrates this entire plot to get away from Stephen.
I think she begins in earnest in episode four when she finds Stevens' photos of Macy.
So that's when we are supposed to believe that she decides to turn on him, which I think that's what we, when we all thought back.
We're like probably when she found the photos.
That's when the wheel started turning.
And she says that's when she knows she has to get the fuck out of there.
I just love that answer.
That Hulu was like, hey, we really want to push this through.
but we need some more ideas.
And she was like, I don't fucking know.
Okay, Diana's a sociopath too.
You know, it's just kind of funny.
I love that for the character because you think to yourself,
how could somebody so earnest, so honest, be with somebody like him?
And they make her diabolical.
She's like, I'm not only going to break up with you.
I'm going to try to ruin your life.
I'm going to take my father away from you.
I'm going to take these opportunities away from you that you've used me for.
Like, I'm going to make you show me who you are.
It was done so well.
so perfectly yeah hi bud you want to come in and you want to make a little beard yeah hi hi yeah yeah
hi jay if you guys are watching on youtube this is a snack exclusive yeah this is a snack exclusive
hi jay what do you want to talk about um um um trash truck the trash truck yeah he's got his trash truck
shirt on jay he likes do you want to go watch danny go yeah okay okay
He'll probably do that
Instead of tell me lies
You guys
He likes Danny go
That's his rack for the wig
Jay, who's that?
Raina
Yeah
Jay, you're so smart
Yeah
He can't hear me
Some birdies
Yeah
That was so cute
Jay's first appearance
On this note
To wrap this up
I do want to say you
I don't remember
It was you
Or Sparkalize his hot take
But they wrap up the series
With Steven sending Bree
The Voice note
Of Evan
admitting that he had
he cheated on her with Lucy.
And I forget it was you or him, but when you look back, people had flip phones, and it was
like the first Blackberries.
And so where were we, where were they recording this?
And how did he convert it into a voice note?
It's so funny.
It's so funny to think of the technology transitions, like, and that it sent through as a voice
note.
So the only thing we were thinking of, like, there's a way he could have played it on a
computer so it would have played as a voice note.
Like, you would have had to, if you saved that recording for eight years, then you
would have had to send it through as an audio file. Like, also, how did you record it on that flip
phone? You know, it was just very funny. But it came, the fact that it came through was a voice
note. It's like, how did he do this? And I was in some, like, TikTok holes about this. And
I like seeing what people were saying. And some people said they thought he was going to play that
on the PA system at the wedding. Same. That's crazy. You thought that too? Crazy. Because he says,
like, Evan says you're not, what is that? You're not going to tell Brie about this. And he says not today.
And so you're like, okay, obviously he tells them at the wedding.
But yeah, I thought he was going to play it on the loudspeaker.
Yeah.
I love how they wrapped it all up.
I love how they wrapped up why Lydia, hey, it's Lucy.
I mean, every storyline was so perfectly tied up and then they still left Clifthangers.
Yeah, someone zoomed it on the phone.
Bree and Stephen had been texting and the texts say like rehearsal dinner tonight, 8 p.m.
And he's like, I'll be there, which is just weird.
I don't know.
I don't know if that's like if it's some editing mistake.
Why would it be?
But like it's why would they be texting like that?
like what's, I do think it's a little bit of a sign or like a red herring we're supposed to look at. I don't know. You know my one beef with the show is I think the time gap is too wide. I think 08 to 2015 is crazy. I think it's like all, you really do kind of lose touch with people from college in that long of a time period. And it's, it's fine. I'm sure there's a reason for it. But I guess I just feel like it would all feel like it would all feel like a little more realistic if it was like four years. But I don't know. That's, that's what they chose to do. But I always feel like 08 to 2015 is like such this huge jump for all these things.
to still be going on with all these people,
like all these connections still to be so strong.
And then like, when did Bree and Evan get back together?
Did they date for seven years before getting engaged?
You know, like, I don't know.
So I'm with you.
That's my one beef.
I'm with you all of the show.
I encourage people to read the book, the timeline, a little tighter.
I think that they're 25 in the, when they get married.
I love it.
It's a perfect show.
If you guys haven't watched it, watch it.
Read the book.
Great book.
Okay.
All right.
I'm telling you guys about Shopify.
And, you know, when we started podcasting,
I had already had one store with Shopify.
Actually, it's the very first conversation I ever had with Ashley,
and she was talking about selling merch.
Ashley and I have anchored so much of our business around Shopify.
We sell our girls got to eat merch,
and we run our whole vibes only store on it.
And we just both have so many great things to say about it.
Shopify is a global commerce platform that helps you sell at every stage of your business.
So whether you're at the launch or online shop stage,
you're a real-life store stage,
or if you've millions of orders, they're there to help.
Shopify power is 10% of all e-commerce in the U.S.
So it's huge.
It's fantastically easy to use.
They have tons of reports.
They make it really simple.
There's tons of plugins.
And it helps turn browsers into buyers with the internet's best converting checkout up to 36% better compared to other leading e-commerce platforms.
The reporting is fantastic.
It really is just like this breakthrough moment when you're like, I've reached this next level.
And you can realize that through how fantastic the reporting is.
and it really gives you everything you need to take control of your business and take it to the next level.
And when Ash and are able to log in on our phones or on our computer and see really every single metric of our business,
what items are selling the most, which days we sell the most, which times of day we sell the most,
what converts.
I mean, it's just a really special moment.
So we can't recommend it enough.

Okay.
Well, just do a quick love is blind update.
We talk about every week, but Tyler, who had these children who he said he just donated sperm to
help a lesbian couple have kids.
The mother has come out.
And did you read all this?
Just a brief synopsis.
So I know that he had donated for the first child.
And then they got together.
They were, what, a couple.
And they conceived twins naturally.
Yes.
So he did just help her to have the first child with her female partner.
She's basically saying, like, I've been a lesbian my whole life.
This was a little strange to me, too, that it happened this way.
So he was, like, essentially a sperm donor for the first kid.
And then, again, like you said, they got together.
They were having a sexual relationship.
And then they had two more kids.
And he was, like, the dad of these kids.
Like, he's on the birth certificate, she said.
That, like, this is their father.
Yes.
So it's just so crazy.
Like, it's, again, it's, like, deranged to, like, lie about that.
And, you know, to tell Ashley, like, yeah, I don't think they know what I look like.
Or, you know, you could tell that was a lie in the moment.
I was like, oh, he fumbled that, you know.
Like, he's trying to think of how to lie his way out of this when he is, like, it's just such a shame for these children, for this mother.
I mean, geez.
So that story is, that's even crazier than I thought, because it's like the sperm baby lie was not a complete lie.
It was, like, somewhere in the middle.
It's just, like, it's a hybrid story.
That's just, I don't know.
I was crazy reading that.
I mean, my prediction, so there's three couples, I think, that are going to the altar.
You're actually not really sure about Ramses and Marissa.
They have this kind of like cryptic conversation in the end of the last episode.
This will be a little dated by this time this comes out.
But yeah, this season of Love is Blind is like they just, everything is aired after the fact.
You don't get to see any of the main situations.
I think Garrett and Olivia Munn get married, stay married.
I think Tyler and Ashley, I don't know it's a wild card for me.
I do not think they're still together if they did.
get married.
All right.
Ramses and Marissa, I don't know.
I think he says no.
Yeah, I'm with you on those predictions.
And we just want to recommend a few quick comedy specials.
It just feels like there's a lot coming out.
People who have been on our show before.
So Michael Blauestein, who we love, he has been on our show with his co-host on his
podcast, Diff Sox, Trevor Wallace, and they were amazing.
They're going to be coming back on.
He dropped his special on YouTube called Silly Goose.
You guys can check that out.
It's hilarious.
He's hilarious.
I just, I sit in, I could like lay in bed and watch his clips.
He's just like so, so funny.
And I love his crowdwork and his comedy all around.
And then Heather McMahon dropped her special breadwinner.
She was on the podcast back in June.
So we love it so much.
She's one of my favorite storytellers.
She filmed it at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, which is one of my favorite theaters.
And, you know, I used to live in Atlanta.
And so we love that aspect of it too.
So Heather McMahon breadwinner, Allie Wong.
I haven't watched this yet.
I loved it.
I watched it twice.
It's fantastic.
I need to get caught up. So I've just, we've been traveling, doing stuff. So Allie Wong has a special
called Single Lady, and this is all about her life now as a single lady and Raina's dating stories and all
kinds of stuff like that. Is that kind of the joke? Yeah, it's, it's post-divorce. It's really,
I really haven't seen somebody speak so honestly about just like what life is like after you've had two
kids and you're very publicly getting divorced and she's just dating again. And it's great. And so
those are comedy specials we're recommending for you guys. Three Rex, you guys, I love all of them.
Sweet Bobby on Netflix.
Sweet Bobby was a podcast about a catfishing situation.
This woman, Kira, she's Indian, and she lives in London.
It's a fascinating catfish situation.
And they made it into a movie on Netflix.
It's sort of a documentary, it is a documentary style.
But the podcast is about eight or nine episodes.
I hung on to every single word.
It was so fantastic.
And I like that they made a short version on Netflix.
So it's a fantastic, like, hour and a half watch.
I watched it last night.
Great story.
And then I have two books to rack.
One's called Blue Sister.
It's about four sisters growing up in New York City.
One of them passes away.
And then the other three are kind of dealing with it.
That's by Coco Melors.
And then I want to wreck a cookbook because our really good friend, Salt Hank, he is a great food account for years.
Just a good friend of ours.
He put out his first cookbook.
It's called Five Napkins Situation.
It's phenomenal, beautiful photos.
It's really just unbelievable.
I'm so proud of him.
So it's a great gift for the holidays, too.
Yeah, I love his cookbook.
It's so beautiful.
The recipes are incredible.
And we went to this little event for him, and he was talking about all his favorite recipes in the book.
And so, you know, I'm excited for someone else to make those for me.
Exactly.
So great book to support, great person to support.
So all these are amazing wrecks, you guys, big week of watching TV.
