Thanks to Hello Fresh, cook easy, delicious dinners, the whole family will love because nothing beats dinner time. Cross live to America with our entertainment reporter. All right, she's coming to us live from America where the forecasters guns out with a side of cheeseburgers. Welcome to Cole. I think that was my favorite intro ever. Do you have a gun? No, she doesn't have a gun. I'm not a gun girl.

I've never touched a gun. I'm not a gun girl. I just assume that Americans are like, you know. They're right to bear arms. There's always the thing we hear on every TV show and movie that they're allowed to. But it varies from state to state, doesn't it? A million percent. And, like, there's like, I mean, in the South, I feel like everybody has a gun.

Probably in the middle of the country, like anywhere, like, mountainous. You're not going to find as many, like, in New York City. But, yeah, I mean, people have guns, but it's not just like everyone's, like, whipping them out all the time. Like a Western. Yeah. Like, literally, like, there are people that, like, are like that, like, are so obsessed at their guns like enough with your guns

get over yourself like I did I believe that we have the right to bear arms but like I think it's gone a little bit crazy our police I think we have one gun and we keep it in the boot of the car so if there's any incidents they have to hold on we'll just open up out of the boot of the car and we'll um because that was really confronting going to America and seeing police with machine

guns you're like wow because our police don't even have guns they only have tasers and handcuffs well no they do they have guns too and they also have I think some of them have pepper spray which I feel like it's just for girls that are walking down dark alleys but Apparently that's not the case. No, I mean, depending on what type of it's like a trooper, a state trooper,

or if it's like, you know, like it depends on what type of cop that it is, what they're going to have. But I think almost all of them, unless they're just like, I don't know, like a parking person, I think they all have a gun. Nicole with us from New York now. Obviously, a lot of Taylor Swift talk over the last two weeks. Album cover's been released. Megan, we can see a belly button.

Everyone is obsessed that we can finally confirm she has a belly button. I did see that. Also, I was like, I don't know, in some of the pictures. Not in the cover, but some of the pictures she released where she's in, like, her showgirl costume or outfit, where it just looks like, like, diamonds are sort of drenched in, like, the chest area. I mean, I'm assuming there's something covering, but it does look as if you picked up one of those things, like, we might have a nip slip. Like, I just, she's really pushing the sexy boundaries, which I don't hate. Yes, the belly button thing was very funny. I think she looks phenomenal on it.

Yeah, she does. Rumors, people, like, diving deeper to everything that was said on the podcast, but what do you think about her potentially doing the super. Bowl. That's what some people are saying. That's the one thing I don't believe. I hope I'm wrong. I would love to be wrong. She doesn't need the Super Bowl. She's her own thing. I don't think she'll ever. I know that she's been asked many, many

times and turned it down. Again, from your mouth to God's ears, I hope that she does the Super Bowl one day. I just don't think that's going to happen. I think that's coming from people that just want it. What about all the hints? Sorry, honey. What about the orange? Red and yellow makes orange. What about the 47?

You need to explain more than that. You know you sound crazy. Jason Kelsey. She screamed for 47 seconds, and she played her 47th gig at that stadium. I know. I know. And I'm go crazy, like, diving deep into all these Easter eggs, too. But I think a good majority of them, we just make up at this point. And if it sounds like it works, it works.

A lot of them are real. And she has planted them. But I think we've all sort of like, we go crazy. We go down a rabbit hole of Easter eggs. But she said, she's thinking about sourdough 60% of the time. It's the 60th Super Bowl. and the mascot is Soudo Sam. At the stadium.

Listen, again, I hope you're right. But also, I just, I know she's a mastermind. I know she's a unicorn. I know she's a machine. I think we read too much into all that. I want, Megan, I am with you. I am with you. I want every single one of these things to be the case.

And I'm sure half of them are like that. Did you watch the episode? Yeah. We listen to it. We're driving back from a place called Taarong and New Zealand, but, or Megan actually slept for 99% of it, actually, to be honest. Except for the whole thing, except for the intro. You really need to watch it.

You have to watch it. I literally sat there with a you know what eating grin on my face. Did you notice there was a clock on the wall? And what do clocks do tell the time? Half time. Super Bowl. Boom. Another clue.

Did you notice that? I saw a bowl. There was a bowl in the background. It was a super looking bowl. You're going to eat your words. Also, they announced the Super Bowl halftime show between September and October. Around that time, when is her album being released? October 3rd.

Travis Kelsey has a foot, football, football, that's a... Exactly, me! Also, they said, apparently there was, like, I didn't see it, but there was, like, a little Pinocchio on the shelf behind her, and they, like, zoomed in on that when she was like, I'll never reveal personal stuff from my Easter eggs. Like, you'll never, like, no Easter eggs that, like, lead to something personal.

But then there was, like, the Pinocchio, so it's like, was she lying? She will, really... I just can't. It's exhausting. I'm tired. I have a full-time job. This is a whole other full-time job.

Coal at the moment, a massive lawsuit over the weight loss drug, OZempic, we understand. Yeah, and I think that this is not the end of it, because, like, I want to say, like, 60% of the people I know are on Ozambic now. Really? Like, science or family or, like, this whole country is on Osempic if they can get their hands on it. And I do get scared a little bit.

Like, I think it's great because it can definitely help people, like, get healthier. But we know so little still about it that, like, I do fear working all of a sudden, like, years. to come all of a sudden find out that it's like this side effect or this side effect I think that they are going to have to pay up for sure but no it just hasn't been it hasn't been studied enough

it's like two billion dollars or something crazy what the lawsuit yeah yeah class action one so and it's for the state of New York so I imagine if this goes everywhere yeah yeah I mean the whole thing is crazy I mean it's just magical

like it's just it works it works speaking of all thing's medical. We spoke like a year ago about the plastic surgeon that you were dealing with. What happened to him? The Botox guy. Oh yeah. Did you, wait, did you hear? Did

my Ben tell you something? No, no. I did it. So, okay, so everyone, bring everyone up to speak. There was a guy that you went to see and then you recommended it. It was like, use the code to Cole, get 10% off. No, no, no, no. No. He was this great guy. He did Botox in Hell's Kitchen, which is like,

like all the way on the west side in New York City. And he was beautiful and amazing. And he ended up not being an actual somebody who was certified to do this. He like did facials. Like he was not certified to do this. We found out that he was actually putting Chinese botulism in our face. It was like not real. And we people started having these effects.

And I don't know if you remember, but I had double vision, all this stuff. So he's going and he goes to jail. He's out on $100,000 with bail. But like each thing that he's accused of like fraud, 20 years, like each like thing. I get a call a week ago from somebody who's like, he's dead. No way. He died. We don't, no one knows how.

No one knows what happened. Oh, jeez. But I'm assuming maybe he found out the likelihood of him being able to not go to jail. And I don't know. Or then I was thinking like maybe like a disgruntled victim was like so mad, went and like killed him. I don't know. I can't find any information. It's nowhere.

Wow. But he is dead. Like a movie. Whoa. What a trick. As you're handing to the whole thing. And obviously you were saying you had loss of vision and stuff when this Botox, this counterfeit Botox was injected into you.

Did any other people that you spoke to were they suffering long-term health effects? Yeah, yeah, there was tons of people. Like I always wondered if there would have been a class action lawsuit eventually. Clearly there's not going to be one now. But yeah, there were, and I mean, I had the federal agents here, like interviewing me. Really? It was freaking crazy. Yes, it was nuts.

It was nuts. It was all over. every paper everybody was talking about it it was really really nuts so you were very friendly with him he was like my friend we would sit and have wine we would chat he would like text me oh angel come at this time like i mean he was and he was this gorgeous fabulous gay man who just i wanted to be his best friend like everybody did everybody adored him and he literally put on a white coat and protected that he was allowed to put needles in our face and we let him oh how's upset we'll say it maybe just gotten too deep when it he hit the brain i probably

He made it, he just went in a little, no, I mean, I shouldn't laugh about it because it's not funny, but if you don't laugh, you'll cry. So let's just laugh about it. Wow. Did not expect that to where that was going to end. Absolutely. That's why I thought you were asking, because it literally just happened to. So I thought the producer may be like hinted to you that that happened to ask me. No.

Crair. This is a wild, wild story. I'm glad you're doing well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And Nicole, we appreciate your time. We'll catch up with you next week.

Absolutely.
