Starting point is 00:01:14 the biggest revelations. From Willie's Knockdown Brawl to Harold's Frosty Todger, no jewels go unturned. And what does Harry have to say about King Charles's comments on his parentage? We are back with another episode of Crown Jules, the elite podcast. podcast for the royally obsessed presented by Betches Media. I'm Lex Nico. And I'm Samantha Bush. And today we have a very special episode. We are going to be talking about a lot of the headlines that have come out surrounding the leaked book, Spare by Prince Harry. And to help us kind of go through all the major headlines, we have Dylan Hafer of the Mention at All podcast. A Bravo Bestie. What's up, Dylan? Hi, I'm excited to be here on Crown Jewels. I've been absorbing all the headlines, all the little
Starting point is 00:02:05 tidbits, and wow, there's a lot. There's a lot. We needed to bring in a heavy hitter to help us sort of work through all of these headlines because there's so much here, you guys. I truly, like, couldn't even keep up over the weekend with everything that was coming out. My head was spinning. I was so overwhelmed. There was so much coming at us. was like really heavy, really dark. Some was a little spooky, uki, and some was just, like, I thought really funny and a little shady. So I can't wait to get into it. The funny thing about a book like this is that anytime a celebrity writes a memoir, there's always going to be, you know, some juicy things that they're spilling the tea on and then some kind of anecdotes that are funny or interesting or whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:53 But the way that people cover the royal family, it's like, every single one of these little, some insignificant details is going to get turned into something that is supposed to sound scandalous. And so it's like, Harry could tell a story about, you know, when time Megan and I had a cute date night or whatever. And then like the mirror or the sun or whoever is going to find a way to be like, Harry says that the date night was the worst time ever in his life. And it's like, okay, you don't have to do that for every page of the book. Oh, but they're doing it for every page of the book. Every page.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Let's get into some of these royal subjects for our royal subjects with tea and crumpets. But like off the top, did you see the post on page six about Megan and Kate and borrowing the lip gloss? And they had the giant picture of the lip gloss Photoshop. I'm like, that's when you know it's out of control. Yeah, I was like, that feels like such a stretch. And of course, when you actually click on the article where it has the excerpt from the book, it's really not that juicy, but it's such a good headline. I saw one today that was about Megan and Harry's, like, raunchy sex that they had after.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah, okay, the excerpt was like, we went to the Soho House, we put Do Not Disturb on our door. I was like, okay, really raunchy. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's crazy. Right before we came on, I did my little page six check. And one of the headlines that comes up is Judge Judy slammed Prince Harry as, quote, selfish and quote spoiled after the bombshell claims he made against the riff. And it's like, Judge Judy just happened to be on Good Morning Britain today. And it's like talking about how he's like an ungrateful little grandchild.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And it's like, why is Judge Judy expected to weigh in on this? Like, please. Everyone's talking about it. Everyone's talking about it. Full scope opinions over here. I mean, so I want to get into it. One of my favorite headlines of them all was that Harry called Willys balding, alarming. I couldn't help it laugh, but it says this is when he went to Prince Phillips' funeral.
Starting point is 00:05:15 So this was like after everything that came out. And he says, I looked at Willie, really looked at him, perhaps for the first time since we were little, taking in every detail, his familiar scowl, which has always been the norm in his dealings with me. He adds, his brother's baldness was alarming and more advanced than mine. I mean, at least he acknowledged that he's balding. Sure, fair. But like, this is so petty. So petty.
Starting point is 00:05:45 He's a petty king. Yeah, it's tough because I feel like the way people look at this family, it's like everything is always going to be picked apart. and I think sometimes unfairly. But this is one of those things where it's like, you knew what you were doing when you said that his baldness was alarming. Oh my gosh. And more advanced than mine. Like, again, it's just, I'm very curious.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I think what I'm the most curious about in reading these headlines and actually getting the book is like where in the context of the book as a whole does this come up? Like, what is this doing for the memoir of Harold's life? Like, to highlight this. I'm very curious about that. because it feels so unnecessary to me. It feels unnecessary, but I also, it makes me wonder, like, how much detail he's going to give on every aspect of his life.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Like, if he's giving this, like, level of detail about his brother's balding and his, I kind of am wondering, like, what are we going to get into? My friend got the book, she ordered it, and it came on her Kindle today. So she started reading it. and there was a he quotes like brainiac or brainy quote.com like in the book. Like this man's biography tell all is bananas. Like he's talking about brainy quote in the book. I just don't, again, here's the thing of where I'm coming from with Harry because, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:11 I like I show up for Harry and Megan when I need to. I will, you know, give an opinion on them when it's also necessary. but in this instance, it's just like, I need to understand what this is doing for you from like a therapeutic sense. Like, what is the purpose of a lot of these stories? Or is it simply just to sell copies of books and to be a little salacious, which is also fine. But it's like this is my constant struggle with them is like they want to be taken so seriously. And then you talk about Willie's balding and your frostbitten penis. Like, I can't keep up.
Starting point is 00:07:45 What do you want? Yeah. It's tough because the things that they've done publicly up until this point, like the Netflix show, the Oprah interview, those kind of select media things that they've done kind of tell all type of moments. It still fits within a really specific format of, you know, on the Netflix show, they talked a lot about their kind of relationship with each other and how they met and the press and the Royal Rota and that stuff. And the 60 Minutes interview or the Oprah thing was its own thing.
Starting point is 00:08:14 but when you have a 400-page book that's you just telling the stories, I feel like it's probably easy to sort of lose the thread a little bit of what is the reason I'm doing this? Why do I need to get all this stuff off my chest and to fill some of those 400 pages with some things that maybe you think are funny or you think are like a, you know, a relationship. or approachable or kind of giving some color to your public persona. But obviously with the way that people feel strongly about Harry, some of the stories might not come off the way that he thinks they will. So I'm not like, I'm not a hater or anything, but there are some of these excerpts that I've seen where it's like, yeah, what is the, what was the reason?
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah. 400 pages is a lot of, is a lot of room. And you can accomplish a lot, but you can accomplish a lot. but you can also do a lot of damage in 400 pages if you don't quite have your finger on how stuff is going to be received. My thing, obviously, to kind of just go off of what you were saying is that he's constantly trying to make his family realize things. And like they're just not capable of that. These people, they're just not. They are not going to respond to this book well.
Starting point is 00:09:41 They're not going to pick up on any nuance of it. they're not going to find it funny. These people, I mean, if Kate was mad that Megan wouldn't let Charlotte get a whole new dress made like the day before the wedding, I mean, she's not going to love the book. No. And it's like he keeps trying to make his family into something that they're not. And it's like he just needs to sit with that and accept that. That's such a good point.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And like, I get, again, from his POV, I get it. He's like, I've tried to talk to them publicly and they haven't listened. And so this is sort of like now my avenue. But still, it's like, is this really the best way? And also like this poor ghost writer. Oh, my God. Fighting for their lives in the trenches. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Like you could see getting to a point where it's like, okay, I've talked, I've tried to talk to them. I'm not getting through. That's really frustrating. And so from there, you could either decide to let it go and talk about it in therapy and be like, this is what it is. I'm never going to get what I want from them. or you can write the book about it. And I, you know, I don't think writing the book about it is wrong, but it's just a very public choice.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And like you were saying, Sam, like, that's just not the way that this family does things or has ever done things or is ever probably going to do things. So there's never going to be that kind of equal and opposite reaction. And so, yeah, I mean, some of the articles I was reading, they're like, so far Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace haven't responded to any of these claims. and it's like, yeah, they're not gonna. Of course. How any of this works. No. And yeah, I mean, it's hard to see how Harry is ever really going to get any satisfaction.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I mean, maybe he gets satisfaction just from it being out there, but he's not going to get that kind of response.

Starting point is 00:12:23 See you this summer. I mean, the next Tien Crumpet is, I mean, it has to do with Willie again. Apparently, this guy called Megan rude and abrasive. And Harry, in quote, said it all happened so fast, so very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my name. necklace. We'll talk about the necklace later. And he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog's bowl, which cracked under my back. The pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told them to get out. So this was when they all had their meeting. Megan was sent back
Starting point is 00:13:01 on the plane, if I'm remembering this all correctly in order. Apparently Big Willie got violent. And I just, again, have to say, I don't think telling, you know, the world that the future King of England assaulted his brother is going to get you back in with the family. Right. It's just not. It's not at all. And then, like, he took it even further. I remember this was one of the first articles that I read.
Starting point is 00:13:24 And he's like, like, basically we were saying, don't tell Meg about this. And then Harry's like, that you assaulted me. And he's like, I didn't assault you, Harold. And I'm like, this is, like, you're saying it's like the ball is in their court. And it's like, you really haven't left. The ball is deflated in their court is what's happening here, in my opinion. Like, how do you expect them to reconcile with you after sharing all of this? Like, Dylan, do you have thoughts?
Starting point is 00:13:50 Do you have siblings? Like, I'm also curious. Again, I'm an only child. So maybe this is a normal thing people do. I have a sister. And, like, now our relationship is very chill. Like, I mean, we fought when we were little kids. But the details in this anecdote, the necklace breaking, the dog bull crunching under his back and cutting in.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I'm like, I like describe the necklace. I'm thinking, I'm thinking like a string of pearls and then the pearls just like scatter around the room. I mean, it's probably like a like petite gold chain if we're being for sure. Realistic. But it is just kind of like I don't see why Harry, I don't see any reason for Harry to lie or make up these stories. But at the same time, like this is the same thing that we've been talking about is like
Starting point is 00:14:40 it's just going out into the ether. and people are going to react to it, but there's never going to be any kind of response or, you know, inclusion. Yeah, like, there's a real change going to actually result from all of this because, again, we're thinking about what is his motivation for sharing these stories? And is it like he wants to rip the lid off of the institution and expose all of their, like, you know, dirty little secrets. Sure, let's make that argument.
Starting point is 00:15:05 But like, for what outcome? It's not going to change the British media. It's not going to change how that failed. Emily operates. It's just going to continue to keep you out of the equation. I would understand it maybe a little bit more why they're doing all of this. And I mean, I was like a champion for Megan and Herricker than documentary. I was riding, I was following them into battle. I was doing anything. But then, you know, the interviews, I mean, he's talking to Michael Strayhan, no shade to him, but it's, you know, it's a lot. I feel like I would feel
Starting point is 00:15:39 differently if he was saying, I am going to denounce my title. I do not want to reconcile with them. I'm putting my story out there because I wouldn't feel the need. Like, I finally want to speak up. But he's not. He's like, I'm going to keep my title. He told Anderson Cooper, what would that really do if I denounced, you know, the Duke title? I'm just like, you're not going to reconcile, babe. That ship has sailed. Yeah, it's tough. I feel like before the Netflix documentary, it felt a little bit more like, okay, they're just kind of doing their own thing, giving it some space. Who knows what'll happen a few years down the line. But start it a little bit with the Netflix documentary and then really a lot with the book. It does feel like there's no, they're past the point of no return. And if that's on purpose, that's fine. If they don't want to reconcile with the family, if they don't ever want to do it. that. They don't need to ever do that. But it does feel like, Harry's never going to say, I wrote this book because I wanted a fat check and I knew that people like to like gossip. Like that's not ever going to be the story. So it's like what is the what's the purpose? Yeah. I mean, we're never going to,
Starting point is 00:16:56 we're never, this is going to be the question that will keep the three of us awake at night because I don't think we're ever going to answer this question. But it's true. Even what you were saying about him saying, why would I renounce my title? And it's like, guys, you want to have it both ways. And I think that's what makes them so difficult to like appreciate or accept is it's like they want to have it both ways and they feel justified. And that's, I think, where people get into the commentary of them being bratty or childish or immature because it is it is a little bit childish the way that they sort of like engage in this push and pull of, you know, their feelings about the royal family and how they were treated.
Starting point is 00:17:35 So it's interesting. and let's get into a story regarding Megan and Kate because, first of all, you notice Megan has been crickets around all of this press. Silence. She has been silence. Megan is like, nothing good could possibly come from me opening my mouth right now. I'm not even on social media and I'm not going to make any effort to be in public. Correct. Not one word.
Starting point is 00:18:01 A smart move on her part. Very smart move. And so in the book, Harry says, there was a discussion about the timing of the wedding rehearsal and the flower girl dresses. And Kate was very upset, a source told the Daily Mail. Megan said that Kate must have baby brain because of her hormones. And this was while Kate was pregnant with Prince Louis at the time. And it caused a huge row between Megan.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And she was told that she wasn't close enough to her sister-in-law to discuss her hormones. And that wasn't the way people spoke to each other within the royal family. I'm sorry. get the fuck over yourself. It's really not that serious. I'm sorry. I've never been pregnant. I've never, I don't have a child. But this is like you're going to be your sister-in-law at the end of the day. Like she's just simply being like, maybe you have baby brain. Like maybe like something's going on. Like I don't think Megan ever like meant it like that horribly. But also, I mean, I try to go back and remember what was going on at that time. And like Megan was starting to get eaten the fuck up in the press.
Starting point is 00:19:05 A lot of stuff played into all of this. And I think Kate is just, I'm not team Kate. Really? Well, to think about pre-wedding, this is also the time when stuff was really getting messy with Megan's dad, I would guess. So there was a lot going on. Obviously, there was just a lot of public pressure in general surrounding that wedding. the idea of there being some kind of official wrist slap to Megan where it's like, yeah, actually, so that's not how we speak to each other in this family.
Starting point is 00:19:44 So you're going to have to go and say you're sorry to your future sister-in-law because you're not actually close enough with her to like make a joke about her hormones. It is that is one of those moments where it's wild to imagine being in a family like that. Yes. Where it's like, oh, fuck. Like that's how it goes. that some aid is going to come behind your back and be like, yeah, actually. So that's not how things are done.
Starting point is 00:20:09 It's like, shut up. Leave me alone. It's my wedding weekend. I know. It's like so mental to think about, to your point, like to that degree that she was reprimanded and basically told like that's not how we speak to one another. And yes, I get it. This is like, again, you know, remember the whole hug story and how like that's not
Starting point is 00:20:28 the way that it's done in England? People aren't affectionate through hugging. Like I think this is another one of those examples to show that they're cold. Like Will's and Kate are cold and the institution is cold. But like it's making a comment about baby brain. Like that is such a generic thing. And also if it's not the way that you do it in the royal family, to have like a formal reprimand feels so aggressive to me.
Starting point is 00:20:55 So I just like can't even imagine. But again, it also speaks to the fact like why would Megan feel welcome in that family? when like this is what's happening behind the scenes to your point on her wedding weekend like it's your fucking day it sure is and you know what i just can imagine like the writers of the crown just living for this book they're like oh we're taking quotes now like we have quotes like before they were just kind of imagining how things went down and of course you and ilex treat it like a documentary it's fact um but now they have like legit quotes and i was thinking of about this when Dylan was talking. It's like, I don't think he's lying about any of it.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Like, that's the thing. I think he's speaking from a point of view, but I don't think he's like making any of it up. Yeah, I feel like there are probably certain situations where maybe his, the way he remembers it is different from the way somebody else remembers it or a line of dialogue that's in a conversation might not be word for word what the person said. But yeah, like I don't think is really anybody's intention when they sit down to write a book like this, that it's like, what can I cook up to make my brother sound like the most evil person in the world? It's like, no, it's your version of what happened.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And, you know, it would be interesting to hear some other sides of the story. Like we've said, that's not going to happen because of this family. But yeah, I mean, it is very like unhoused. And they'll be like, you could call me whatever you want, but I'm not a liar. Okay. So good, so good, so good.

Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope. It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. I do want to ask you guys a question.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Yeah. So Nostradamus predicted that this year put on that tin foil cap, let's do it. Is this the conspiracy theory portion of the show? Yes. This comes up quite a bit. Yeah, this is a segment. This is our new segment. Sorry, I didn't realize how random that would sound.
Starting point is 00:23:57 But he said that this was the year that the monarchy would fall. And I'm curious if like you believe that because like the coronation is allegedly coming. Prince Harry is burning it the fuck down. He also hopes he gets to be invited. This is just crazy. Crazy. I mean, I can answer. And this is remember coming from a person who thinks that Megan and Harry are now in the Illuminati with Tyler Perry.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Right. Beyonce. But I think that it is all relative. I think if you were to look at it and like you could make the argument that through this book and through this docket series and everything that like the monarchy is already crumbling. Right. But do we think it's going to like completely dissipate or disappear? No.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I think that I think Charles will fight tooth and nail to keep his reign. Right. Like there's there's layers to it. And I think maybe that kind of really polished facade of like this is how things are done has never been quite. blown open in this way. But at the same time, it's like, is an angry mob going to burn down Buckingham Palace? Like, no. So I think, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I think it'll be interesting maybe in a few years, if we're all still here, to look back and be like, how has the cultural perception of the monarchy shifted? Because even looking now at, like, when Diana died, like, that was this whole kind of crisis this moment for the royal family and it was so unpopular that they weren't saying any, those types of moments. You know, I think the public perception definitely shifts and changes and maybe this is kind of a a turning point,
Starting point is 00:25:43 but it's hard to see when you're inside of it. As if I'm inside of it, I'm like, you're in line for the throne. This affects my life, not at all, but boy am I interested. But boy am I hooked.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Yeah. What do you think, Sam? Since I brought it up, I do have thoughts. I just think maybe they'll cut back on their duties. Maybe the Commonwealth will, you know, no longer be. I just think a big change is coming besides King Charles, you know, in his coronation. But I don't know. Maybe Nostradamus is a liar.
Starting point is 00:26:23 How much stuff that Nostradamus has predicted has come true? This is so off topic, but now I'm like so invested. I know. I wonder. Oh, my God. I'll look it up. Yeah. While I deep dive that, I did want to bring up one headline that came out of the Anderson
Starting point is 00:26:39 Cooper meeting specifically for our resident bowler, Samantha Bush, where Prince Harry talked about. I'm having a tough time this week. Yeah. His stepmother, Camilla, was a villain while his parents were married and that she actually traded stories with the British press to gain public. popularity and positive sentiment in the media from the public. What do we think about that? When you said bowler, I literally was thinking, Sam, you were in like a bowling league or something.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Like you went to the bowling alley with your shoes and your shirt. I personally really enjoyed the headline about Camilla turning Harry's bedroom into like overflow closet space the second he left the house. I'm like, that is iconic. I have no problem with that at all. Every parent does that. I'm sorry. It's like your room is a gym now. Goodbye.
Starting point is 00:27:33 If you've never come home from college and had like a gift wrapping station. A sewing machine. Some storage units in your bedroom. Like that's luxury. Exactly. Proud for you. But I mean, Camilla is an interesting one because I'm like I've never had an issue with her in the way that so many people just do.
Starting point is 00:27:54 But also like I wouldn't. be like so, so shocked if she's done some shady under the table press dealing type of shit. I mean, like, Diana recorded a whole book on tape before she decided. Like, it's not like they weren't doing shit like that in the 90s. Exactly. Exactly. I 100% agree with that. It's like even this entire memoir is not that out of left field.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Right. I agree. And, you know, I'm having a hard time this week and it's only Tuesday with this news of Camilla, because it's tough seeing my girl get this kind of press. But he also said that he doesn't hate her. And this is like what's really interesting to me about this memoir is like he says all of this stuff. And then he's like, he'll say all this stuff about his family and then be like, but I don't
Starting point is 00:28:45 think they're racist. Right. Or he's like, excuse me? Oh my God. But I love William. I love William. He did all of this shit to me, but I love him. It's like, bro, you can't have it both ways.
Starting point is 00:28:56 It's confusing. And you know what's really confusing? As I saw a headline just this morning, actually, about him talking about Susan Hussey, the woman who said all of those racist remarks. And he said, you know, basically, Megan and I love her. And I'm glad that she was given that opportunity. Oh, gosh. Like, Harry. Is she the one that, is she the one that wore the brooch?
Starting point is 00:29:25 No, that's another one. Oh, right. There's more of them. Okay. There's more of the white walkers. The one that did the racist thing. It's like, well, the other one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not that one. Yeah. I mean, it's tough because, like, it is your family. It's where you grew up. It's your still your original home. I understand. I understand the temptation to be like, I'm airing all these grievances. I have all these specific issues, but they're my family. I love them. I want us to all be good. But I, but I, I understand. I. I understand. I. I Yeah, I think there is kind of a realism that's maybe not clicking, that it's like you're ruining the chance of that. And again, if he wants to, that's fine. But that it's like if you have to choose, you have to choose what you care more about.
Starting point is 00:30:13 And if you care more about making up with your brother and your dad, then writing this book probably was a mistake. But again, I don't, I don't care. I'm going to make a crazy comparison. Okay. Prince Harry is acting like Kristen Doty in the sense that on Vanderpump rules Kristen
Starting point is 00:30:35 went crazy she like overcorrected to the point of like trying to make a point so badly that Ariana and Tom hooked up that it made her look insane and I almost think Harry is like teetering on that line a little bit
Starting point is 00:30:54 like where he wants people to see the family for who they are and what they did to him and he wants them to see it too and he wants everyone to like understand but he's almost like looking a little he's looking a little christen doughty yeah i mean there's absolutely like uh you're beating a dead too much you're doing too much and you're getting like past the point and now you're going to fuck around and find out because it's just like again I and we said this and I don't know how you felt after watching the docu series Dylan but like after that I was like great I feel like we've wrapped up this conversation with a perfect little bow I have a more positive sentiment about the two of them but then he comes out with this book and like again all of these fast headlines
Starting point is 00:31:41 and I'm just like what the fuck are you doing? Yeah I think it's tough to kind of level with yourself the idea that even if you know that you're right about so many things and you know the truth that the world might not ever know the truth the way you do and you just have to kind of be at peace with that because Sam like what you are saying this crusade to get all of the truth and the answers out there maybe people will question the royal family more but also people are going I have a lot more questions about you. And, you know, just because you are right doesn't necessarily mean that everybody is going to be on your side or believe you or whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:25 So, yeah, I think it's tough. And I hope that after this, he and Megan can kind of chill for a while just because they seem, in the docu series especially, like they seem so in love and happy together. And they have these beautiful children and this beautiful life in Monashire. and the stunning house and the friends and all of this. And it's like, just enjoy that. Just work, do what you need to do and try to make that enough. Correct.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And I mean, you have enough money to satisfy your needs for enough time. So I don't know, like where they go from here, I think you're totally right. They need to kind of like chill a little bit and just realize like they have it really fucking good. They do. And I mean, there's rumors that Megan wants to run for political office. So, you know, I'm just saying. I would give it, I would give it a few years at least.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Yeah. There is just one more headline that I do want to touch on. I want to talk about the frost-bitten penis. Sure. So it was a little shocking to see this headline. It just says frost-bitten penis incident. And it says, after a 200-mile Arctic charity walk, Harry says he had to go to Williams' wedding with a frost-bitten tajer.
Starting point is 00:33:53 So that's tough. A-to-jah. A frost-bitten taw. He wrote, Pa was very interested and sympathetic about the discomfort of my frost-knipped ears and cheeks. While the ears and cheeks were already healing, the tojia wasn't. That's tough. This is just, this is exactly what I would.
Starting point is 00:34:13 was talking about before when I'm saying that in a, when you're writing a memoir like this, there are stories that are juicy and there are stories that are just like fun, silly details. And this is a story that in most people's memoirs would just be a fun, silly detail, but that because this is Prince Harry writing about your frostbitten dick is like, Toddja? I mean, I'm glad he's recovered. Right. I guess. But it's like, it's one of those things where it's just like, you know what you're, you should know what you're getting yourself into.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Like this isn't just going to be some like cute fun story. People are going to be like, the princess talking about his genitals. Like that's the thing. Nobody is going to just think, oh my God, what a cute, quirky little sentiment. Like everyone's going to take that and run with it and be like, bro is talking about his frost bit and dick. Let's talk. Like, what is happening? They're going to go back and.
Starting point is 00:35:10 watch footage from the wedding and be like, you're walking weird, what's the deal? I did think about that and I thought in my mind, like, were his cheeks excessively rosy? I feel like they were. I feel like they were too. Like, there are just things where I'm like, damn, what is he doing? But I'm living for it. It's giving us
Starting point is 00:35:26 so much to talk about. I mean, I learned a new word. I had never heard the term Todger before. Yeah, they've got a lot of good slang over there. Real good. They're doing it better than we're doing it over here in North America. Oh my gosh. Okay, well, any final thoughts? Dylan, are you planning on reading this book?
Starting point is 00:35:44 Do you feel like you have enough with the headlines? I feel like I probably am good for now. I know that you guys are going to read it. And so maybe I'll listen to your upcoming episodes for any stray thoughts that you, or spare thoughts maybe that you throw in the mix. But, you know, I've read a lot of articles. I've seen a lot. I'm like, I feel like with the book.
Starting point is 00:36:06 With the book that gets quoted, like, this? It's like, I don't know if I need to, we need to, Barnes & Noble. Well, I ordered it. It's on its way. And I just realized this morning after multiple followers pointed out that I ordered it in large print. So, it's going to be about 800 pages long. Stop it. Oopsie. Oh my goodness. You're going to look like a coffee table book. It's going to be insane. It's going to be like a child's Fuck. It's, oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:36:38 But that'll be really good for like highlighting and circling. Yeah. Right. A lot of notes. You know I'm going to be making notes, Sam. You know me and my notes. I can't go a week without him. I know.
