The following podcast is a dear media production. This is not skinny but not fat, and I'm your host, Amanda, bringing you the latest in all celebrity gossip, reality TV recaps, and anything happening in Hollywood right now that I just can't keep my mouth shut about. This is not skinny but not fat. You guys, can you, no, laugh again. We won't say who it is. The witch. Taylor Strecker, the non-smoker of a carton of cigarettes a day, even though she may sound, did you ever smoke in your life?

I did back in the day, but I have not for many, many, many years. So it just sounds like it. No, my mom, my mom sounds exactly like me. and she deaths never smoked even oh one she was such a square i miss you can we just put it out there this is a few things this episode a taylor and i using abusing each other for a podcast episode totally two we miss each other and we want to talk and we know probably this is the only way if we like schedule a podcast but like don't you feel like if we like listen we can of course talk in real life but I feel like what we would say is magic.

So, like, why wouldn't we just record it? The truth is we're just having a conversation today because we mentioned. And three, and three, we don't blame you if you love us or you want to kill yourself. Because I get it. Like, do you feel the same way? Do you ever, like, think about yourself in a way that's like, would I like me or would I fucking hate me? I hate me. I know I hate me.

But if I wasn't me, would I hate me? I mean, would you follow you? Would you be like, what does Taylor have to say? I love her voice. I love her opinions. You would. I wouldn't like me.

I would unfollow the fuck out of me. Oh my God. I fucking love following you. I was just telling her before. Oh my God. We need to get this on tape. Roll the tape. You, your Instagram account is so good.

It gives me anxiety. Like, it's, you are like, because Amanda's always trolling me on. Today, you're like breaking news. I'm sorry. I said screaming. Listen, I have intentionally, intentionally made my brand the girl who's late. I don't want to be the one. That's good. That's good. Because that is too much. I'm too lazy. I'm too behind the eight ball, as you know, being my friends. I'm like, I'm a wreck. I'm like, we're living in a pandemic. And you're 100. I'm also a thousand and five years old. I can't possibly, you know, you know what it was. Okay. So I used to work when I worked. it's serious. I work with this girl. Her name is Victoria. I'm just going to go fucking in. Okay? And everybody who listens to my radio show knows that I feel this way. And if you

listen to only the podcast, well, now you're getting some tea. And Victoria knows this. So I don't give a flying fuck. Wait, is Victoria the one that you got greedy on her when you were doing the influencer trips? First of all, that is not how it went down. I just summarized it like in a way that you hate. Like my enemy? Like someone who hates me Like somebody who used bad reviews on my podcast Okay So not that one, not that one, okay

No, she was my She was my news girl When we first started it serious But then she wheezed her way Into a co-host position Which I didn't agree upon She was like on the night show The night show got canceled

They were, like, floating her around looking for, like, her new show because she was a host. And when they brought her on, I was like, this better be temporary because I think we're going to butt heads. And guess who was right? This girl. So she came on as a news girl. And then she just stayed as a co-host. And then whenever I go on vacation, she tried to, like, allegedly. I'll say that of that allegedly, because this is hearsay.

But I heard to the grade by that she would, like, literally go to our boss and be like, this show does so much better when Taylor's gone. You should just, like, give me her show. And I was like, bitch, it's wake up with Taylor. Why don't you do like afternoon tea with Victoria? Like, girl, if you want your own show, go get it, honey. But like, why do you want to steal mine? That's so lame. So needless to say, we butted heads.

Oh, okay. I was like, what was the point of this? I was like, uh-huh. And your wife's time. So basically, moral of the story is, she was the queen of like, I know everything. And she did. well-read smart whip smart girl and so every time i didn't know something she'd be like hey you didn't know that um that happened a week ago and so i was like fuck man this girl it's like i can't

even like entertain so i'm like what's the one thing that i know more than she knows stupid chit me me so that's when i started to like talk about myself non-stopping the radio and it kind of became like rowdy radio so thank you victoria so that's my point is i i i learned early on, I could not be the person that needs to know things. No, first of all, I love, I love the fact that you think you suck on Instagram, but you don't because A, the difference between me and you is like, I am like, you're right, churning out shit. So it looks sloppy. The crop is like ugly.

The font is dumb. You're like GIF related picture. Like you're like, you're so good. You're like reaction. Next slide is like a funny related. Like, I feel like you, and also when you put out stories, it's like, interesting. Every full moon. Listen, I even watched your full ad for, like, that cream.

I watched the full thing. Am lactate? Yeah. Shout up to Am lactant. I loved it. I was like, listen, yes. I think you're better on Instagram than you think. Oh, my God.

You're so sweet. You guys, you have to know, Amanda, always. whenever I post, like literally every blue moon, Amanda will always be like, that was really good. You're doing so good. I'm like, am I like, is this like make a wish? No, because you said that you think you're not good and that's not true. So bad. Oh my God. Well, I'm not consistent. But when I'm inspired, that's when I post. But I know, but I'll be honest. Let me tell you about Taylor. And this is why it's, first of all, she's become verified, which you out of so many people.

honestly deserve it. Like, she's, we said, a thousand and five, meaning she's been doing this for like 500 years. What does the bitch have to do? She's on bridal magazines. She's podcasting a thousand podcasts. She was on serious for years. She's Stasi Schroeder's notorious opener of her show.

Right? Like, what more do they need? What do they need? Notaryity? you're notariable. Do you know what it was? That's so not joking. I mean, listen, again, allegedly hearsay, conspiracy theories, what have you.

It was that brides.com fucking article. That did it. I got it. I'll tell you why. I think a lot of the times, and I think with me too, even though I actually feel this will sound like I'm so selfless, like you deserve it way more than I deserve it. No, no, no. No, no.

No, no. No. No, I'm not even kidding right now. I got it. And I was so excited and so lame, disgusting. I hate me. I wish I didn't notice it. I wish I was like that. What is that? Like, don't you wish? I wish I was different. Yes. I also had a pretty weird grocery action that I was actively as I was supposed to like, I am embarrassed that I am as excited. Wait, didn't you open it and see it? Like, how was it for you? I literally, I was naked because I got out of the shower. Taylor and I just happened to be going to dinner that night because I was just like, I cannot eat my own food one more time.

I'm dying. And so I sat down and my friend, shout out to Liz Cully, who clearly has her phone, like surgically attached to her hand. Because she was the first person that saw it so that I was like, did you do this for me? Because I was like, what? And she was like, you have a fucking blue check mark. And I was like, what?

So then I went and I looked. I was like, no way. Well, you guys have to hear this. Taylor is so old that when she got it, I was like, oh, my God. I'm so excited for you. So deserve this. And I was like, how did it happen? And she was like, I don't know.

I think my agent wrote in or filled out a form. Like, who even says that? Like, she almost said, like, faxed over to Instagram. She was like, let me get you. the form. She goes, Simi. She's like, maybe I can fetch the form. Well, here's the thing. So another shout out, and I know you love this girl, Andrea Lopez comedy. So she just got hers too. Okay. That's quick. Okay. So listen to this. Yeah. She got one a little bit after, well, I got one and did a podcast with her. And then in the podcast, I realized she didn't have one.

And I felt like a total dick. Yeah. Like I was like, and it's so exciting that I got to check large and she was like yeah i can't wait to get mine i was like you don't have one oh fuck well no but she's kind of new on the scene no you got to put in your time that's true but like she's like gone super viral yeah yeah true yeah yeah so i just thought like they i don't know they just like hooked each other up so she got one because after i kept talking about mine she was like oh i forgot that you had to like apply for it she's like i thought they just gave it to you so she literally went on like in the app and just like was like name license number like what handle and literally immediately they approved her do you feel like a loser about it they did you feel like losery about it yeah i had to

get like my mommy to call like the principal and fill out a fucking let me tell you first of a couple things about being verified a yeah it's really exciting because i do feel like it became some sort of cloudy thing that you feel like you want and I'm saying you deserve it so much because there's so many accounts that you're like, a who, a what, a how, that you almost feel like they went on and like bought it because it feels like so weird. I don't know if you can actually buy it, but I'm saying like, I really, I don't think you can actually. But what I'm saying is there are, then that makes me even more sad because there were so many accounts where I was like hating on being like how they got it. So you're not one of those.

You're one of those that I told you even the first time I recorded. I was like, how aren't you verified? I think I told you then, and you're like, I don't know. No, you know, I thought forever that I had a listener who hated me who worked at the verification office in Instagram. Oh, my God, I can't. Stop. And I've no, I had, no, Amanda, I had full on convinced myself.

That's what made you feel. And I was like, this is what's happening. And I know, I told my agent. I was like, it's never going to happen. She's like, I was like, there's a listener of mine, okay? She works at Instagram. She was like, you know, Facebook's owned by Instagram. I was like, it doesn't matter.

Neither here nor there. She is actively denied. And she was like, Taylor. I don't think that's a thing. I was like, well, then you don't listen to me. So that's what's so crazy is like you, and then you wake up and you have it. And then what happens, Taylor? Tell us what happens after you have it.

Absolutely nothing. Absolutely. Absolutely fucking Lully. Nothing. Like, you don't see even, you don't see it on yourself. Like, I'll see Taylor's, but. Right? It's like, you know, it's there, but it's like at the top of your messages, you're like,

oh, right. So it's just crazy because it is something you like want. You feel special. You feel like you kind of met that. And I even, I'm such a fucking, I don't know if this is considered like a masochist or what it's considered. But I'm such a, I'm a weirdo. Like after it happened, I'm like telling my husband night. I was like, I don't deserve it.

And he was like, no, no, he deserve it. And I was like, I wish it didn't happen. Like, this is how weird I am. And he's like, why? And I was like, so I could want it. Like, just such a fucking weirdo freak. I just like, I was like, what do I yearn for? He's like, I don't know.

It's like, once you reach all your life's goals, it's like, when you get it, you thought it would feel different. And it's like, what do I even have to strive for anymore? But it's so funny when I posted my reaction. It's like I got so many people excited for me. And then you get a few like, what do you even? is it? Like, why is it so meaningful? And you're like, um, where do you live? That you don't know, that you don't know. Ha, Zah. Huh. Zah. You guys, you know that I am a skinny, mini, healthy, healthy, Courtney

Kardashian. B. Okay. I try to be as healthy as I can. I try to always kind of like use clean products, good products. And just like my mantra is, do the best you can. So do I want to drink like soda that's bad for you all day? Maybe. But what I started doing is drinking yummy seltzers that make me feel like I'm drinking soda, but I'm actually drinking carbonated water. That's not bad for you. And let me tell you about Haza because it's actually good for you because Haza is a seltzer that has probiotics added to it. Mm-hmm. You heard right.

I love when you joke about talking about yourself.

I think it's so funny when you're like, me, me, me, me, me. I love it. I love it. Oh my God. This is what I needed because I don't know if you noticed, but I leach it, went silent on social media over the holiday break. Like I was like, I'm off from the radio show. The podcast was still going because, uh-huh ads. But I was like, I had like pre-recorded everything so that I had like two weeks off basically about two weeks straight. And I was like, it's just like not feeling like Vakashan, which made everybody hate me for some reason because I was out of touch. But I realized it was like, oh no, because I'm still going on social media. Like that's, that's my least favorite part about my job because I feel like

it's my weakest area. I'm like, I'm the most insecure. So I was like, oh, fuck. I'm just going to take off. Fuck it. So I did. And it was like so rejuvenating. There aren't even worse. Stop. What? I feel like, I got my haircut. Your hair looks really good. I shook a shower. No, but I want to know why it's what? Not going on Instagram. I know it's crazy because I'm not surprised is your reaction because you are so seeing you. I say that your Instagram gives me anxiety because you're so clearly just like it's just so like it comes naturally to you. Like the way that I used to do four hours of talk radio, people would be like, but how good you ever? And I'm like, it's like fun and I just like love it.

That's you. So I envy you and other friends of ours who are just like so naturally good at social media because I like know what that. feels like, but I just, I don't know if it's because I'm 1,000 and 10 years old. I don't know if it's because I'm just more like of a talker and less of the technology, but I know that that like technology side is important and like I feel like I'm behind on it. I don't know what it is, but like it is a source of insecurity, but like I need to get the fuck over it. But you don't because I do feel like your people are there for you. Do you get what I'm saying? Like I feel like today like you think you have to grow and you have to get more number. But it's not about that like each and every one of

of the people that follow Taylor want to hear about Taylor are there for Taylor, where a lot of like, let's say, like a bachelor person who has, let's say, a million followers, it's very active. Half of those are like haters of that person or half of those people just want to see if they end up with ex person. You know what I'm saying? So I'm telling you, you have a lot of like influence as much as that's like an annoying word has become.

but you have a lot of influence without needing to be like and it's not about needing like I wouldn't do what I'm doing because I need to it's like or because I feel like you know you know what I mean so don't be hard on yourself with that social media stuff you have a thousand other things going on you're making me feel so good right now this is why I mean I love you for so many other reasons but this is really you have no idea how much I needed this it is though there is this pressure especially and like I know we're joking that I'm a thousand but like I really am and it's like I've, I remember when I was 20, I was like, I'm never going to tell about my edge. And I'm like, shut up, you bitch to myself. Of course, you're 23. Of course you're not going to care about you idiot. It's like, now that like I'm, you guys, I am like, do you know how old I am? I do. Don't tell anymore. I was surprised because, no, I was surprised. I know we're joking, but I was surprised because like I'm old. I wouldn't have guessed that. No, stop. I am. She's younger than Courtney Kardashian. Let's put it that way. Barely.

Maybe you were born same year, different one. No, that's not true. But she, but like, first of all, like, that's the thing. You don't even say about our age, like, you look amazing. Like, somebody wrote to me, like, that I look amazing for my age. I almost killed her. Like, for my, I'm not at the age where you're going to, like, for my age me. You're not at for my age.

No, for my age is like late. Honestly, at this point, now where I am. I mean, you know, it's weird. How you get the more goes up? Like, the other day, I was talking to a friend, this, not to get, like, heavy, but a friend of ours husband got COVID. And so she's like, he's really sick. He's in the hospital.

And I was like, oh, my God. And I was like, isn't he young? Because, like, he's like, I believe. Like, he's not like in his, like, 50s or 60s. And I was like, isn't he young? She's, like, mid-20s. And she was like, no, he's old. And I was like, how old is he?

And she was like, he's, like, 39. And I was like, hello! No. That's honestly rude. I got so legit mad at her. And I was like, that's not old. Fetus. That's really not old. I don't talk to people under 27. I should stop. No, you should really stop. That's like so annoying. That's really annoying. Can you even? But the thing was she said it so genuinely. And it made me go like, she's not like, if I didn't know and know and love her, I'd be like, this bitch is coming for me. She works at Facebook. She's not giving my verification. but but look but look look where you got to in life and look at your you're on your second engagement look at that ring second engagement i know look at that oh my god did you put up my friend's hand

my hand about you and taylor that meme i did i did that was that is my hand look at this fat hand i also have the fat hand my god we're baby hands the two of us and Trump. Are you're soft? I get that mine are also soft like a baby. Mine also have dimples. If you look really close, you see my little baby dimples. You're legit the meme. It's so bad. I know. And Taylor is legit the friend. Oh, like that's a thing too is when I was married to a man, I knew I had like baby hands, but it didn't matter because like I didn't have like he had manhand. So it's like anything. But like when you have to put your hand next to your partner who has also lady hand. but, like, pretty ones, it's just a constant reminder.

Yeah, that's weird. Being a lesbian. Are you competitive about? Highly. But I, but I lose every time. So, like, it's just, like, a solo competition of misery quietly inside of my soul. Like, is it, like, who's hotter? Who's... But I had to stop, like, we... I always got in fights with Taylor at weddings, and I never knew what it was. I was like, maybe it's because, like, weddings would be sad because I'm a divorce day, or maybe I'm having... I'm uncomfortable. that wears an sex couple. No, I figured out what it was. What was it? She wears dresses and heels. And it makes me mad because I feel like, bitch, you're coming into my zone. Like, I'm the

girly one. You're the androgynous, like, off-duty model who's like a double RL model. I get to be the girly one. So when she wears dresses, I'm like, aw, I lose. And so I get a tear and I get angry. And then I yell at her and throw Chanel bags on the back. What do you want her to do? We're a tux. Yes. Okay. hold the phone and sorry for interrupting you know i haven't been drinking because i was pregnant and then noah and then i wasn't into drinking well now i'm back on the freaking drinking wagon okay at least like once a week i want to relax and i want to have one drink okay let a girl

have freaking one drink usual wines is like my new life each bottle is 6.3 ounce It's the cutest freaking wine bottle you've ever seen in your life. And it equals like a heavy pour or like like a glass and a half of wine. So no more opening a bottle pouring half of it down the sink when you don't want to finish it. Then having it's in your fridge and being like, wait, Googling it. How long is white wine good in the fridge for? And then it says like seven days, but it's been 25 days. No, it's like a single serve format and bottle design. It is the cutest freaking thing. So, it's always fresh, never flat. And moreover, on top of all that cuteness and goodness, they're low carp and have zero grams of sugar. You heard right. They have a red blend. They have a rosé and they have a sparkling white wine called Brute. I can't get enough. I'm obsessed. And if you want to try your own and get $8 off, you can use my discount code. And that's not skinny for $8 off. Go to usual. Wines.com, get those cute little single-served bottles that I'm now newly obsessed with and

have made my life complete and use code not skinny to get $8 off. Wait, so tell me about the rings. Do you not know the story behind it? No. Oh, get ready, girlfriend. Why is it cutesy? Girl, it's the opposite. This is the engager ring that was Bing gave me.

No. And to God. How? So, yeah, it's 3.5 carrots. Fuck you. So, literally, I, after we got separated, divorce, whatever, I put it in a safety deposit box at Chase Bank because I was like, I don't, I'm going to lose this and like, I just can't have a hang around.

And I was like, I can't afford the insurance on it, legit. So I put it away a safety deposit box. He didn't ask for it back. First of all, legally, he can't ask for it back. So he said to me when we got a divorce, I really want you to keep the ring. And I thought, oh, legally I can. But thank you for saying that. Very nice of you.

But so he was like, if you call off an engagement, legally the guy has the right to the ring. Because you didn't, it's like you didn't like complete the contract. But once you get married, that ring is yo's girlfriend. And if you're a monster like me, you keep it and you reset it when you become a lesbian. So the plan, I swear to God, this wasn't the plan. So the plan was, I thought I would sell it. Like, I was convinced I was going to get fired, happened, and that I wouldn't be able to afford my rent.

So I was like, I need that ring in case, like, shit hits the fan. So I was like, oh, I can't wait to sell this thing. And I talked to a bunch of friends, and they were like, that don't even try to resell it. It loses all, like, if you think buying a brand new car is a bad investment, try a diamond, okay? You will never, ever get your money back. Like, let's say somebody spends, I don't know, $50,000 in an engagement ring. You might, if you're lucky, might get $10,000.

Might. So why do they say that diamonds are good investments? They're the worst investments. Really? They're horrible investments. And that's the thing is like, it's such a racket. So I was like, wait a second, like, this ring is more valuable if I insured and like hire somebody to attack me and steal it. Not that I'm going to do that.

But you thought about it. No. Okay. That's insurance fraud. I'll never do that. But I mean, just so you know, if you want to, like, if you're a troll and you're listening right now, I know you are. And you're like, I'm going to get her. I'm going to steal her ring.

Come at it. So when we were talking about engagement and stuff and talking about rings and what we were going to do, Taze, I love this about her, like, her mom and her sisters. they were like, you are a fool. You are a fool. Like, reset that ring. Who gives you, if you reset it, it's not like you're, it's not like you're going to give her my now fiancee Taylor the exact ring. And like, they were like, if you gave it to her, that'd be fucking weird.

And I'm like, I couldn't handle it. Talk about jealousy. I have to look at that gorgeous ring. That was my favorite part about being married to him. You're like, I'm not giving her that shit. I love her, but don't like fucking exaggerate. She can't wear my Chanel's. She can't have my diamond ring.

What's resetting mean for us? common folk. Basically, it was set in like, it was set like in like a platinum setting with like antique hand engraved and like pave diamonds. And just, just for reference point too. So he probably spent, I'm going to guess like 4,000, 5,000 on that setting. Guess how much they gave me in the Diamond District for it? How much? A hundred and twenty eight dollars on the setting. So what is the setting like the surrounding setting? Yeah, like the metal, the metal. And like in any like, No, no, no, no, no. He didn't pay 4K because it's cheap to do that.

I know for a fact that it's cheap. No, but he went to an expensive place. Oh, okay. Because the little diamonds around aren't like that expensive. No, no. But like this was an expensive place. And he also like knew the family. So maybe I bless.

I hope that he got a deal in it because, you know, he never paid full retail because that that's another reason why I fell in love with him. So he probably figured out. But I'll just say it was definitely like like, like, worth that much. So it's just crazy how it drops in price. So anyway, so basically that's the resetting. So they were like just reset the diamond in a different, like in a different setting. So my Taylor set she, so she just, I gave her my diamond and she knew what I wanted and she got it reset for me. And then I got her actually a lab grown diamond. What does that mean? It's essentially if we just want to like cut to

the chase of the fake diamond. Okay. But. it's actually not. I mean, somebody like, you know, Olivia Palermo, she would be like gross to a live grown diamond. But after so much research that I did about how much value diamonds lose, I'm like, why are we, why am I going to spend money? I literally don't have and have no business spending, getting her a real diamond. And then also once we decided that she was going to reset mine, I'm like, I cannot afford a 3.5 carat diamond. Like in no world. And so what, I'm going to get her a one carrot. If, and I'm going to be, like, walking around with this, like, fucking spotlight on my hand. Like, I'm going to look like the biggest asshole in the world. When I'm going to tell this story to every person we ever meet or have dinner with, like, it's too confusing. So I was like... So maybe don't tell the lab grown part to every person you ever meet. I can't.

You know me. I'm like, that's the thing. You're like me when, like, I wear something and it's like, you look so cute. Thank you, $5 then, Marshall. It's like, shut the fuck up. Like, I hate myself from. doing that just let them think it's from like i don't know you know i can't because i need people to know that they need to still subscribe to my radio show because i have bills to pay okay so but but but okay so

you're gonna tell every single person that ever said you're gonna lab grown you're gonna say it you're gonna say well i will say that i'm just trying to spread the news not a real diet it's not considered real it is technically it's real it's lab gone so rather than being like grown in nature in a fucking rock or a cave or a fucking tree. I don't know where they... Blood, blood diamonds. And also blood diamonds. We've all seen it, you know? Yeah, we sell the movie. But it's like, yes, so they're lab grown and they're a fucking fraction of the

price of real diamonds. And they sparkle like nobody's business. So... Wait, does it look the same exact thing? Ted! Tay! Come here! I want her to... I'm going to show you side by sides. Okay? So Cruz is like three-carat. I like hers better. Can you come here for a second, honey?

Do you have your ring on? Stop, you like her as better? Oh, wow. It's gorgie. Isn't it gorgie? It's so gorgey. Up until using Bruch, I was buying an electric, no,

a battery operated Duane Reed toothbrush that was a P-O-S. it's time to like advance in our lives you know i'm 32 i deserve nice things i deserve a freaking electric toothbrush okay and let me tell you bruce changed my life because not only is it the sleekest sexiest toothbrush i've ever seen it also forces me to brush my teeth correctly but also for a full two minutes and to the point that after using Bruch, I literally feel like I just went to the dentist. I just stepped out of the dental hygienist and I never felt so fresh and I've never felt so clean. It's just wild how I was doing it so wrong for such a long time. The battery life

is amazing. It charges quickly and you don't have to charge it every day. It's sleek design. And again, the biggest thing I can tell you guys about it is like every time you brush your teeth, you feel like you literally left the dental hygienist office and you're ready for a freaking commercial, like up close and personal to try your own and get your own Bruch and you deserve one and get 15% off for that. Use code not skinny at bruce.com and that's B-R-U-S-H dot com. And for 15% off, use the code not skinny. Again, that's B-R-U-U-S-H-H-com. And for 15% off, use the code not skinny. Again, that's B-R-U-U-S-H.com to get your own brouche for 15% off. So, honestly, especially having them side-by-side, I know, look at her. She, like, her back's

real fucked up. Oh, no. Are you going to give her massage? Yeah, I put, like, like, these, like, pads on her back and, like, yeah. Did you make her old by proxy? I did make her old by proxy. which was my plan all along next plan i'm going to make her 60 pounds do you think wasband would like want to murder you for this or no are you scared to be murdered if someone kills me uh-huh i think we can all look at the first aspect so that'd be really stupid anybody to kill me right now no no taylor aren't you scared that it's going to get to him like no like no i mean i feel a little bad yeah but like the truth is he doing okay in life? Does he have a girlfriend? Do we know?

The last update I have about Wusband is that I think he's single because I feel like when was that? There was a listener that I like ran into who like, oh, I know this is wild. This is wild.

Paige to Sorbo. Yeah. From Summerhouse when she is she, I don't know, are they together her and Perry? No, they're not. Well, who knows? I can know. Go on. Um, but stop trying to seem special. She's like outwardly single.

I know totally right. I'm scared of bravo, P. You're like, I don't know. Oh my God. They become scary. I know. I'm scared of them. That's, I don't know shit.

I'm just trying to protect. No, by the way, she's a fucking pussy. Don't, don't let Taylor like seem to you like she has balls because I wanted her to talk shit. I don't. Was it about like Lala or something? I would not. Yeah. You're scared.

I'm such a puss. It depends. Oh, my God. But for me, like, I'm full of shit, right? So I'm like, I'm not scared. If Lala came for me, I would kill myself. You would. You weren't just like me.

But I talk the shit, and I'm like, no one's going to know. Meanwhile, like, everyone's going to know, you know? Yes. Well, see, you were me like five years ago, and then I got fucking trampled for getting caught and talking shit, and I got scared. Like, I had Amanda and Kyle literally be like, fuck you. when I was out to dinner with Taylor in the, in Fide Eye, because they were like, oh, you're the girl that talks shit about us.

I was like, yes, yes, that's me. It's the worst feeling. Stop. Oh, my goodness. You're like, I'm not talking shit anymore because I might be like interviewing these people or being like overlapping these people. It's so awkward when people hate you. That's true.

Remember I was kind of talking shit about Lala's lips? And then I met Lala. And the first thing I said to her was like, oh, my God, your lips in person. are more proportionate. And then I felt with myself like I was being honest. You go what I mean? Like if she ever finds out

that I talked shit. I was so scared that she knew that you said that. I was really scared. But first of all, yeah, I was scared. But why did I want,

oh yeah, with the baby stuff. But that it's like I have to, like you're saying, like you have to be who you are. Like I don't like baby Instagrams, especially before they're born. So like I'm going to say,

that I think it's stupid, even if Lala comes for me. Well, I feel like that's more like adjacent, you know what I mean? Right, that's not like, you probably said like Kyle cheated on Amanda. She shouldn't marry him. Well, actually, this is for real. Amanda found out that Kyle cheating on her from my radio show. Because I had Stephen McGee on and he more than insinuated. My listeners reach out to her and DM and were like, yo,

if this is true, you need to know if it's false, you need to know to shut Stephen up, she confront to Kyle, he's all, it's true. Blaming, he's looking to blame also, like, where it came out. No, Kyle, I had him on Taste of Taylor, and he literally was like, you are the reason

I had to come clean about cheating on Amanda. But also breaking news with Tatee. You're welcome. So, like, that is a thing, though, but yeah, I'm a total plus. A total plus. Wait, so the engagement, was so cute.

Everyone fucking loved this modern lesbian love story that ends with, like, beautiful rings. And you got to, so, okay, you got verified because brides, did they reach out to you? Brides just wrote it. They didn't even contact me. They just did it. All this next one, next thing I knew, we like got engaged. I post the picture. I honestly did not think.

I post the picture. Z. Z. Z. I didn't. think it would get that many likes. It got so many likes? Was it? It was crazy. I don't remember. I got 28,9003 likes. Something like that. No, but first of all, listen, you can't not. Like, it's just heartwarming. Like, it is. Like, it's so, I think I, like, shrieked. It's just, it's such a beautiful

thing when people get engaged. But, like, I don't know why two women and, you know, you're both so cute and you're so in love and the story that everyone knows. And it's just like, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. So like it just, you know how like you're going to see pictures? You're going to see a girl in a bikini. It's like you don't want to like that. You want to like this. You know what I mean?

You want to like this. So I get it that it got so many likes. Oh my God. I was so excited for you. I am so excited for you. And now there's a reason that you're like on the Bitches Brides podcast. Well, I'm not anymore. Did you get that? Why not?

They kicked me to the current months ago. Well, they're eating their shit now that you're on Brides magazine. I will say it was we mutually parted with it. It was a conscious when they realized that you got married 10 years ago and you're not in the industry. They were like literally like, so we're kind of going the direction of COVID brides and like you don't understand that. I was like, I don't understand it. And talking about every week is depressing and making me. feel super uncomfortable. So that's cool. Wait, and you have so much other, like, I was telling you

last time, it's like so many things anyway. I tend to be a little busy from time to time. And so I'm always like, yes, yes, yes. And then I like have that one thing that just pushes me over the edge. And I'm like, God damn it. So when they were like, we think we're going in another direction, I was like, that's totally cool with me. It was like the dumping that I would have been like wanting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wait. There's no bad blood. Like, I went on there after I got engaged to, like, tell them the story and the whole shebang and bang and bang. Wait, so are you planning a COVID wedding? So this is where we are at this point. So Tay and I, we just want to do like a super, super small. We're talking like just family, like a nuclear family, not like aunts, uncles. And I love my aunts and uncles. But like mom's dad, siblings, that's it. And at my parents' house, they live, like, right on the water.

And it's so good. We're right on the water. Boston, like outside of Boston. They're going to put the house in the market sooner rather than later. So I was like, please hold on to it for one more. No, I think that's so beautiful. I love that. I was saying that somewhere that, like, I know a lot of people getting engaged and married at this time are like, woe is me.

But it ends up being like, I've seen weddings work out where they're like just a family on a, unlike the, they rented a Hampton's like beach house and did it. So it could be, because if not, maybe you would have a was-been wedding part too. Well, exactly. And that's like, and I've been there, done that, didn't, I mean, I hated every second of wedding planning. All I did was fight with people that I was supposed to be getting along with. And it like, honestly, the wedding planning was really kind of what started the divorce proceedings, truthfully. I remember you told me that, yeah. And I really, like obviously, I mean, I almost called the wedding off. I tried to. So I have like serious PTSD from wedding. So I like, but the thing is, this is Tay's first wedding. So that's, but she seems pretty

chill. She's so super chill. Yeah, she looks like she like isn't into something to, to cry. So, oh my God. It's not recording. I'm going to kill you on my end. I hate you. I hate fucking hate you. I hate you because our last episode, I fucking recorded. I didn't record. So I sounded like shit and you sounded good. And now I'm going to sound good and you're going to sound like shit. So we never have one episode where it's fucking, that's it. On your, on your shit, I'm not recording it either. I did a one, two, three. And I hit it. Maybe I just hit the wrong button. Your fat baby and didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. present. I'm literally

dead. Stop. You're lucky. I'm fucking recording here and I have your stupid she podcast 27 hours a day. What do you think? That happened with our last episode. And it was your fault. So this is called payback bitch. On my episode. But I

want to talk about a few things. So see, it's so sucky because it's 40 minutes. I still want to hear about the engagement itself. Like, how does that work with lesbians? Like, we need to know. who does it? Well, that was a hard thing, too, is I was like, I kind of just volunteered. Like, I was like, I'll propose because I- What do you mean? So it's talked about? So the whole thing has to be talked about. So we definitely talked about it, which I think a lot of like couples, straight or gay do,

right? So it's like, I'm going to do this. But then it was like, well, I'm, I got it honey because like, you know, I was proposed to- First of all, you say honey, so a thousand and five. Yes, a thousand of honey. So she was like, okay, that, that's great. I love that. I love that for me. me, how great for me. And then, like, as time went on, years, she was like, are you like ever going to propose to me or like what? And I was like, honestly, I think the issue is like, I don't get how to do this. Like this, I was not like, I was not socialized to do this. You knew how to be proposed too. Yeah, but not proposed. Why? Well, why didn't she think that she has to do it? She did. Because you're older. I think it's because I'm older. It's because I'm

1005. I also think it's because I am like more established in my career, therefore I have like more money than her. So and it was like, and it was we were honestly, it's so funny because we are in a non-traditional relationship and we abide by so many traditional rules. It's so ridiculous. So I thought to a point where I was like, this is dumb. I'm overwhelmed. I'm stressed. And I don't want to be the boy. Like I want to be the girl. So can we like figure out some way that we can like both do it? And she was like, absolutely. That's so romantic. Let's do it together. But it will be our secret. So you want to know why I did? Yeah. I got drunk and I told her sister and brother-in-law that I was going to do it. It was like weird. I like weirdly lied to them though. Like I wasn't like,

oh, we've talked and we're going to do it. I was like, I got the ring. But at this point, I had got the diamond. I was like, I got. Did you ask her if she'd be cool with a lab grown diamond or no. Oh my God. We, we, that we were fully on board with. That was no surprise. She was like, literally picked it out. She was super involved. I actually thought that we, I got confused. I thought that we were both going to get lab grown. So I was like ready to buy two diamonds. Oh, so this was before you decided to do the. We had discussed doing it, but I was like, no, no, no, no. If you get lab grown, I get lab grown. And we'll save this for like, whatever. Right. And then I was having like mental breakdown, super romantic about the budget. And I was like, it's too expensive. And she was like,

what are you talking about? She was like so confused. And I was like, and finally I was like, Two! Two! And she was like, what do you mean to? And I was like, I'm going to get myself a labrum diamond. She's like, well, no, you're not. I'm resetting your diamond from husband. And I was like, oh, oh. So then I was like, well, now let's just like go crazy with these diamonds. So, but there was like, to that point, we talked a lot about every tiny detail. But when I told her brother, her sister and brother-in-law, I was like, I felt embarrassed that I wasn't surprising her. Like, she deserved that. So I kind, and not that they didn't make me lie.

My own insecurities made me lie. And I was like, I kind of let them to believe that I was going to surprise her. And they were like, oh, you are, Hampton's house? And I was like, yeah, that sounds good. And then I told them myself, like, we were still at their house. I was like, Taylor, I have somebody telling. She's like, what I told Ashley and Ben. And she was like, what?

That was the whole thing. You've ruined everything. And then I started crying. I was like, please don't make me feel bad. I already feel bad enough. So I basically ruined everything for usual. So how'd you pick the day that you're going to do it? So after I ruined everything, she was like, it was literally, like, we got her ring.

And she was like, kept wearing it around the apartment. I was like, you've got to stop doing that. We're not engaged yet. And she was like, but it's just so pretty. So she's like, well, yours is going to be done in like a few days. So once yours is done, we're doing it. And then she got the call from the guy that it was done. And she was like, so you have to go into the city and get it because I have to work today and we're getting engaged today or tomorrow.

And I was like, what? So then I was panicking. And then I also had felt like, well, I do need to surprise her with something because I felt like without surprise, like, what kind of a gibroni am I? And I've already lied to her half of her family that I am going to surprise her. So like, I'm going to look like a total tool. So I told, we had decided to hire her friend who's a photographer to capture the moment because we couldn't share it with like family and friends.

But then I was like, you know what, we can't afford it. It's not in our budget. We have to get rid of the photographer. she was like sad but okay. So then sneaky, I rehired the photographer. Whoa, you're crazy. I'm slick. Okay. And then I told her, and then I decided to tell her to meet us, this is the gayest thing, okay? Ready for it? Yeah. I heard of Marie's Crisis. No. It's a piano bar in the city. It's on Christopher Street. And it's like super gay West Village vibes. And it's like, like been there forever. And it's like, I mean, it's straight people could totally go to,

but it's like very like gay institution of New York City. And so I proposed to her outside of there because she loves it so much that her friend years ago gave her a picture of like the exterior of it. And the other day, I was looking at it before, like, before I proposed. And I was like, why do we have a picture of Marie's crisis? That's weird. Wait, so you got down on Monday first. So I got down. So I blindfolded her like she was some sort of a hostage. it was weird. I like put the blindfold just like over her head. Yeah. So I looked like I kidnapped her. And then we got an Uber and I made her like plug her ears and she's claustrophobic so she was having a panic attack. Yeah.

I had the Uber driver drop us off in front of Marie's and then I had the photographer media's there so she could, I could surprise her and she would be surprised. But where we were, I was at a one. And the photographer. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But what I did not account for was that we're in COVID. So all the restaurants are outside. So I had Mad people Such an audience It was a nightmare Wait, what month was in it? What month was it?

November. Okay, so it was still like semi okay out I think it was November I think it was earlier Okay, so beginning of November So it was still nice out So they're gorgeous That's why we picked the day

Because she was like This is the last nice day we're going to get So I really want to get engaged like outside Oh my God So there were mad people It was crazy And I was like, I regret this, I regret this. And then I was like, maybe I won't get down on one knee, but I already coordinated with the photographer. Like, when you get down on one knee, give me a beat so I can take a bunch of pictures of reaction. Yeah. And so I was like, I have to get down on one knee, too. So, then that was her moment. Then we should pictures with the photographer. And then her proposed. I can't with you. Yeah, so you did it. And then did she get down on one knee, too? So then that was her moment that we should pictures with the photographer. And then her proposal. was planned like at home so she was like she had like done a whole surprise me up on our

that's so cute and she got down in one knee and it was yeah if that's why i captured she said she said yes and so did i because it was kind of like a little bit of like a like a race if you will that's so cute you make being a lesbian very i know it's going to sound like relatable in the way that i feel like people heard your podcast when we talked about it and we're like maybe i'm a You know what I mean? Because you were talking about it in such a way that wasn't like the stories we usually hear are like I knew from when I was, you know, born or. And your story is pretty different.

And you make it just like, like everyone listening to me like, I want to be a lesbian and marry a tank, day and get down on one knee and fight over dress it. Like you're basically like a sitcom. Like you're basically like something that you see on TV. You know what I mean? I really need to turn this into a manuscript, which will then become a book and then will become like a movie or a TV series, right? Right. But also, do you think you're going to stay in Jersey City or like move?

No, I had this. I was like, again, you guys, you're listening to a conversation that's like not meant for you. It's like meant for like, I want to know if Taylor is going to move with me to California. You're moving to California? No, well, not really. But I started thinking about it because I'll tell you why. Come on. You're not?

Well, I feel like you're coming. I don't know why. I feel like you're on board. Wait. Well, now maybe I am. Wait. No.

Okay, wait. Wait, no, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. But when I think about the future,

because I'm married and have a baby, it's like, where do I see my next thing? Do I see myself in a two bedroom in the city? Do I see myself in New Jersey? I see myself suburban, but warm. You know what I mean? Listen, I totally feel you. That's what I see.

I, like, even the last time I was out in L.A., got to see Stasi before she had the baby, I was like, why don't I live here? Like, I miss you. Like, this is insane. So she was like, yeah, bitch, move. So I am not, I can never get my Taylor to move to California because she's so close to her family. Not that I'm not, but I feel like my parents are going to go to Florida at some point. I don't know.

Where does her family? Where does her family live? They're like Philly or like around here. So I feel like and she's like just not into Los Angeles, California, whatever. Same thing in my mind. Yeah. But I would like the dream is to be bi-coastal. So like to have a place here and then also have like a place out there because we're like working so much out there.

Because I feel like we have a whole life out there that like I think how long were you there for when you went? Because I feel like you were there for a while. We were there for like a week straight. That was it. But like, I just, it's crazy because obviously I'm so close to Stas. She's now close so close to Bo. Like, honestly, she's probably- Who's close to Bo? You're Taylor? Yeah. They're like best buds. Like, I would say, like, when we go to visit, like, she would go out with Bo and Stossi and I would, like, stay at home and, like, bake. No, you're lying. Where? So, like, she, like, she's at. Why is it because of the Rams? It's because of the Rams Eagles thing. They have a Rams Eagles sports. But it's like they're so...

They're so tight that I'm like, and I just, I feel like there's such a life for us out there, you know? It's different because here's the thing. There are other warm places like Husb is like, you know, Miami's warm. And I'm like, yeah, but Miami doesn't have any of the things that New York has in term of the industry that I work in, whatever. At least L.A. is equivalent to New York in that way. Listen, if your TAY is close to her family, you know how close I am to my family. Like, yeah. Of course, that's the first thing.

But at the end of the day, like, what would make me feel better about it if we did do it was nothing is for Eves. Like, I fucking moved all around. Like, you do something. Doesn't mean you, you're dying there. It means you're doing it for. So that's my only thing. I don't see us moving to another apartment that's bigger in the city. I need more.

I need, I want a car. I mean, I have a car here. But I want like, I want more of like that vibe. Listen, I don't know. I was just thinking about it. and I wanted to see if you're on board, which I feel like you could be convinced that I could know. The truth is I could be convinced.

I could be swayed in that direction. Because you could do, because honestly, you could do everything you're doing here, there, right? Absa fucking lootly. Boy, why don't you just come on to Jersey City and chill with me? So I asked you about that before,

but I don't know. I told you do it. I mean, listen. Listen, your apartment is like not something that exists. It looks so cool, you guys. It's like, it's not even like,

like the fact that your apartment's cool doesn't mean Jersey City's cool. This is a very true statement. However, I will say you can get so, like, there's other apartments in our building that are fucking cool. Like I, like, if we couldn't be in this apartment, I would try to get another apartment in this building. It's very cool. You guys, I wanted to talk about a couple other things. A, I was telling Tatea that I'm like obsessed with Gigi and her baby, as most of you know, that follow me. To the point that as I'm talking about this California thing with my sister today, I'm like, but Gigi lives in New York. York. Like, I need everyone to know. I'm a huge loser. Like, do you ever feel that like people think

you're cool, but you're not cool at all? Yes. Yes. A thousand percent. Wait, what is this obsession? I don't know. We have the same, like, stroller and like, I don't know. No, I'm actually not obsessed with her. I'm not even sure she likes, like, Jews. So, like, I feel like we maybe wouldn't buy, but, um, like, I'd lie. I'd be like, I don't know. Um, it would be like, I'm not Jewish. People are like, she like hates. you. And I'm like, I'm, I'm okay with that. Wait, that's like, if that's the truth, that's like a very big problem. Like, that's how people think, like, I don't get offended by things, which is why I need people to teach me to, like, be offended. Do you know what I mean? Like, when people, you know,

like, performative white people, like, I don't get offended. If I say something and you're like, that is, okay, so we did want to talk about negative comments before because we both sometimes get them. And it's really important for people to know that, like, I can get a million messages a day saying I'm amazing, beautiful, cool and awesome. But what will stick in my head is Taylor, let me tell you this. This girl wrote this about me in a closed Facebook group and I was sent it.

This is how much I remember it. Like, I couldn't fucking quote to you one thing that some things, people say nice shit about me all day. This girl wrote, if I have to see an up close video of her face saying vibe, one more time, throw my phone in the Mediterranean Sea. Which, A, where do you live, bitch?

Because I feel like that's a, that's such a flex. Yeah, like, do you live in Spain? Like, are you Hilaria? Like, where, who are you? Wait, are you looking for a negative comment? I'm looking for negative comments. Okay, do you find anything good? Of course I did.

Are you kidding me? Of course I did. Okay, tell me what. This one I just really appreciate, like, how succinct it is and right to the point. one star subject heading awful below it

that's all like below it what's blow it what's blow it oh like below it like it's like it's like

there's like there's like the subject heading and then it's like the like the meat bowing it like they'll be like

I hate her and they're like I hate her because of this that person went awful and then right underneath it

like the content of it was that's all just awful. That one extremely repediment. Oh, I like this one. Enough with all exclamation points. Why are you constantly

telling the same stories? The constant interruption of guests are highly annoying, unbearable to listen to. That's accurate. That's fair. That's fair. Oh, my God.

Yours are funny. I feel like mine aren't funny except that. Wait, wait. I'm so sorry everyone loves you. She interviews herself, two stars. Could be entertaining if Taylor let her guest speak.

she literally asked a question and then answers from her perspective. Also, I have a good one. No is the title. One star. Nope. I feel like this should be a weekly segment. People love this shit. No.

Nope. A girl with vocal fried talking about herself for an hour, G2G, bye. Now, no. Let's take a moment. Let's dissect. I don't have vocal fry. YouTube it. It's not this.

It's not. No. It's not. Like, I, I, I'm D, but like, it's not what I have. Two, pretty sure I interview people on this show. So pretty sure most of my shit isn't about me. I'm, I swear to God, not being like, you, I told you, like, I can all say mean things about me. This isn't true. G2G. No one says that anymore. So, like, what's G2G mean? Says the 1,000-year-old woman. Got to go. So no one says that. okay that's really mean oh mumble mouth oh my god

this is a good one you guys hold a fucking phone mumble mouth stop talking like you can't move your jaw we get that you love your lips and your invisaline is straightening your teeth that's a good one I can't I can't oh my God this

too good. These are the best. These are the best. This one, this one, it's like this girl's full name and then she like gives her phone number. So I think she's trying to be like, I'm a real person. Taylor, dot, dot, dot. One star. Love you girl, but you tell the same stories. We know you got fired from serious. We know your friends with Stasi. And we know you're a late in life lesbian. We know you think you have a great apartment. Let your guests speak. X-O. Well, she loves you. Don't you love that? Don't you love like I love her?

But wait, okay, you guys. So you told me on our first podcast together that there is a Facebook group of Taylor, right? But you don't go in because you're scared of it. There's more than one at this point now. They've multiplied. In a good way, though. In a good way. Well, there's one main one.

Yeah. It can be some good. some bad. I don't go there anymore because it's been just a dumpster fire lately. So I hear, because I have not gone on. Then there's another one that is like so like disgusting and mean and cruel. About you or about the world? I'm really the inspiration. But it's like just like it will even go on to like coming for like my friends, my coworkers, just like every. If you like me, you are on their shit list and it's just it's crazy listen facebook but i like to have never even gone on it because i like i just know i hears me rape on it is like so deplorable so it's like facebook is

toxic i feel like instagram is the least toxic facebook is one of the toxic i got sent a couple things this week that i couldn't look away about me one of them was that i'm a petto for justin bieber Like someone wrote a post in the closed Facebook group that I'm a pedophile for prepubescent Justin Bieber. Now, I was trying to remember what like instigated this, right? Because it's like a thing that's like, did you see that Amanda posted that she's turned on by pre-bubescent, doesn't beaver? And I was talking to my friend and she's like, well, did you say you were turned on by

prepubescent Justin Bieber? And I was like, oh, I might have said that. I might have actually posted that. But yeah, Facebook is wild. Facebook is wild. I want no part in it. I want to be not like those closed Facebook groups where they think they're invisible and they can just like post about people. It's scary.

Yes. Shit. No, it's like I used to let it really affect me and then I'm like, where are you in life? Girl. Like really like there are some people that like have. they say they unsubscribe to my radio show and they're like, Horatio show so stupid. I hate her. She is gross. She's charging money for this crap. She's so stupid and disgusting. And then I'm like,

yet you spend every day of your life coming to the Facebook group with my name on it and constantly talking about me. Like, I'm sorry, but I'm at a point now where I think it says more about you than it says about me. It really is like, oh. But does it get to you, Taylor, if you see something bad. Like I know we can laugh about it, but like, like at the, end of the day, I think it's so funny, the Mediterranean sea thing, but I remember it word for word. You know what I mean? Like, whereas, again, I can't tell you one message. And I've cried before

it's sweet things people have said to me, but like, I can't remember what it said. This I remember word for word. You know what? Our brains are wired for this. Okay. So like we are caveman ancestors or whatever, you know, they, it's all about survival, right? So your brain focuses on like dangerous scary negative so it's like hot ouch burns don't do it so it's like you're more fixated on the negative to like not die but now we live in a world we're like we're not going to get eaten by like a saber tooth tiger we're just going to get like destroyed by karen from iowa with her three kids and she always has kids and she's mama too she's mama too in her phone it's always mama too she's always got a like a bible she's always got mama two blah blah blah blah blah

in her profile, always. And she's always about love and light, always. I can't. I can't. I can't. But this is what it goes to show you. And you know what? Not that I'm Hilaria.

But like, Hilaria went up so much in followers, yet everyone hates her. You know what I mean? It's like people live for Phil. And here's it. And here's a difference. Like, I don't fucking hate Hilaria. We can look at what she did. But I'm not, like, wishing bad things upon her.

You know what I mean? Like, I feel bad for her. She needs to, like, she probably needs, like, some therapy or something. You know what I mean? Yeah. I actually think, I have a whole theory that he was so fit on the Spanish stuff. Same. Like, I was like, who hasn't, like, oh, like, I loved fish when I was dating a guy in high school.

I loved this drink cheese and sit in disco biscuits. I never fucking listened to any of their songs. I pretended to. but like if we had gotten engaged and marred and had kids I would have had this name my kids all like weird fish head things you know like the charade must continue with at that point so I'm almost like is this a byproduct of him being so into her Spanishness that she was like 100 no how many

listen my husband is Israeli have I said that every single second of my life like he literally is like my wife's Spanish my husband my wife's when she speak he imitates her Spanish accent which like people don't do it's like not PC really you know what I mean and I saw like on one of the talk shows he was even like I'm not racist and it was just like a random thing to say before you imitate your wife like he said he imitated in her he was like that wasn't racist my wife is Spanish it's like racist what are you so it's all very very weird and I agree with you there is something about it that

makes you think that A, he was for sure in on it because, I mean, you know where your significant other is actually from and he was saying something else. B, he was so proud of it and like flaunting it everywhere. And it's like, where does she from? Like, you're acting as if she's from like, like, why is he so fixated? It's a him thing. I think he felt like it was exotic and special and different. And so then she had all this pressure to be exotic and special and different. and she just, like, didn't, she didn't ever know when to be like, I don't really like the disco biscuits. I don't actually listen.

I don't know one of their songs. Like, she never got that opportunity. I wonder, I'm waiting for to come back with an apology and, like, move on, you know? She does, though. She needs to, like, own it a little bit more. She's like, when she was like, oh, my accent, like, you explained it perfectly on your Instagram. You were like, here's how it goes.

I am Israeli. You told your whole story about what you live. Yeah, tell the fucking story. But no, I think it's more complicated because her. story is that she's not Spanish. So it blows her whole thing. You know what I mean? Like she told the story, the truth. Then she'd be like, I'm Hillary Thompson from Boston. Right. I love. This is how she's not disconnected Thompson. Thomas Hayward. Heyward Thomas. Okay. Oh, my God, Taitang. I know. I love you so much. I'm so mad at myself. I fuck the only. I

love you with all my life. I do. Really. I know you do Now it's going to sound like Your freaking smoker voice With like bad audio Is like gonna sound like I'm gonna get bad reviews up the wazoo

Because of you I'm just kidding Well you would have gotten them No matter how my audience I'm surprised no Okay let's I want to talk to you for a second About something As a radio person

This is my last thing Is that I was thinking about us And like our podcast And I was thinking about the fact that you do a lot of radio and you look amazing. Why should we be hiding behind why are we like I get podcasts. I do a podcast. I love it. But like don't we want to be seen also? My editor's going to like edit this out. Nope. This is not going on. They used to always say that you had a face for radio, which means you're heinous and you

have to work in radio. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. That's like a thing. It's like a thing, thing, thing. So I remember when I started working with Cosmo Magazine, because that was like the first job, the editor-in-chief obviously was like so fucking cool. And she was like, you're great at radio, but you don't have a face radio, like, being like, you're cute. And so, which I was like obviously loved. But I will say that when I was at serious, I did see that transition of like, radio used to be for real where they stuck like talented gremlin people. That's like a legit thing. And like Howard Stern. Yeah. I mean, he has become sexy because he's Rich's book, but like, and he's funny and talented, but like, he's definitely not, like,

going to be cast in television or movies. So, like, and I think that radio has known that. So radio always had a chip on their shoulder. Like, we're, like, the, like, cretons of the entertainment industry. They also used to rename all radio talent. Like, they wouldn't even let you use your name. Like, so you were, like, untraceable. And there's, I remember a programming director once said to me, like, you never let the audience see the talent. Oh, God, no. Never, never, never, because they have this, like, ID in their head. You know what it's similar to them? It's almost like when you read a book and you see the movie and you're like, that movie fucking sucked.

The book was so much. Are you talk to, like, a customer service guy and you're picturing him is hot or something and then they're gross? Exactly. But I feel like that's changing now. Like, with social media, like, I mean, even in radio, I feel like there's pressure to hire people that, like, will be more, like, visual or visible. Even though I see what you're saying, I do think. think, like even like right now, like, you're going to release video, like, of this, like, episode. I am still living in Gremlin land where like I'm still. No, I don't. I don't really. That's

a thing. I don't. I mean, it's not. I'm always so impressed when you do. No, no. It's just like little cheesy moments, but it's not. Because I was just trying to, I was just watching like a podcast and I was like, oh, it's so nice to like see the, like I get it. I get that seeing the people and seeing the faces is fun. But I, because I enjoyed seeing your face. Like, I feel like if I didn't see your face now and we were doing it as we used to do it before Corona Times, which was like Nazi. I don't know. It's so weird to think how like before Corona times it was like you had to see people to do something. Like I won't forget that I wanted to have Aaron Foster on.

So I waited for her to come to New York. And she was like like Aaron Foster came to my house when she was in New York. What? How? I didn't know about Zoom a year ago to be like fucking Zoom. It's so crazy. It wasn't 2002. It was 2020. And I was like, oh, you're in L.A. Oh, bummer. So let me know when you're in New York. Like, what? Like, did we know? Like, a telephone works. We've had FaceTime for fucking ever. Like, we could have been doing this. We could have been fucking doing this and not having, I had Chris, I had Kim Kardashian's, makeup artist in my house on a Saturday morning.

Chris. But that's pretty fucking cool. Do you know Appleton? Oh my God. He's a gorgeous gay man.

He is a giant and gorgeous. He was like, oh, what's the Lou? I was like, why are you in my house? Oh my God.

This is so weird. It was so weird. It was so random. That is cool, though. It's cool. But it sounds like it was in 2001. You know? Yeah,

it's insane. Saying that, like, we didn't figure it out. We didn't. I was like, oh, bummer. You know, we can't. Okay. But anyway, I love you. Thank you for coming on.
