earth would be a terrible tragedy for for everybody And Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who knows? I get less worried because Ruth out here cheating death like a motherfucker. Yeah, she's got something. I mean, whatever vitamins, nutraceuticals, goop regimen she's on. I need to know, honestly. She need to come out with a book. But Betty White, she's trending because it's her birthday today. Yes, happy birthday, Betty.

Happy birthday. What does that make her sign? 98, and she's a capricorn i think okay yeah uh yeah 98 yes oh my god and technically my good sis could live another 10 to 15 years is she i mean she seems somewhat spry she's pretty spry she's still working i'm i've heard that on set she's a little hard for her to get around but i mean she's 98 yeah but she's still out here walking to walk and talking to talk honey she's a national treasure and my chest it's like a 3 a.m phone call when i see betty white tweeting because i'm like oh no someone is dead exactly oh yeah i hate it man i got a 3 30 a.m phone call

yesterday oh uh and i was like no what the fuck is going on it was somebody trying to buzz into our building like some drunk dude being like can i call random people i was like, no, what the fuck is going on? It was somebody trying to buzz into our building, like some drunk dude being like, can I get in? Calling random people. I was like, you put the fuck up off my phone thinking something happened. Are you a big Golden Girls fan? I am. Thank you for being a friend. So your love comes from the Golden Girls?

Originally. But then sis got out here and started really just getting with the young girls and doing the things and being on the shows. And she's been funny as shit like i love betty white um okay carly closs is also trending she's beautiful she's a she's a model right she's a supermodel and she's married to joshua kushner yes jared kushner's brother uh and for whatever reason the reason she's trending uh is that she was out here saying uh yeah you you know, I may be married to a Kushner, but I voted against Trump in 2016. And you can be damn sure I'm doing the same in 2020. Hell yeah.

Even though Ivanka's my sister-in-law, whatever. Fuck that. Hey, but I guess that's the bare minimum you can do. Well, I guess it is the bare minimum. But in these times, I will say, like, you know, white women have been voting with their husbands and fucking our country for so long. So, listen, white girls, if y'all want to be like Karlie Kloss, get in that booth, betray your man, okay? Get in that booth, betray your man. That's like having an affair.

You get in there and get your thrills, sis. Get your fucking thrills. Also, like, Karlie Kloss don't need to worry about Ivanka. She's like, I don't know how long they're going gonna be out before they go to jail anyway so yeah seriously and i'm sure carly thought she was marrying just like a rich white republican man which a lot of them happen to be she didn't know she was getting down with the crime mob well eventually yeah because i think they got yeah i mean they've been married for a minute or no this is in 2018 okay so she knew she knew what it was when she signed up.

Well, you know what? At least she came out and was like, look, I may fuck him, but I'm not voting for him. Yeah, yeah. Well, and I guess, I mean, Josh has kept his head low, but who knows what manner of bullshit he's involved in, too. Because I don't think he's probably not doing it. Oh, no, they keep it in the family. Also, the Jonas Brothers are trending. They've got a new video out.

The song is not good. The song is not good. Let me say that a different way. The song. It's called What a Man Gotta Do. And what does a man gotta do? I think a man gotta make better beats. Make better fucking videos. I think a man gotta make better beats make better fucking videos i

think a man needs better hooks it's like each jonas brother basically it's like a video with an homage to a bunch of you know great films uh so uh who's the one married to priyanka that's nick so they are so their whole section is doing risky business. Yes. I do recommend tuning into this just to see Nick's thigh meat because he is in a dot dress shirt. Yeah. He took the Tom Cruise and was like, okay, let me get that three times as small. Yes. It's a young dress shirt. I want people to be able to trace the line of my hip.

And his hamstrings are thick. I didn't realize he was a thick king. He is. He's quite a thick king. I mean, at least those thighs are rubbing. Fashionable men. Joe Jonas, I was like, who's that? And I forgot he's with Sophie Turner

from Game of Thrones. They're doing Grease, right? Yes. Because everybody's hand-jiving. Was all the choreography in the video just hand-jiving? They kept it pretty basic. I think they wanted Sophie to to shine so they were like okay everybody honestly i was surprised she she was so not awkward as like dancing that i i in my mind i

was like who's this person she was still awkward it was just lots of good cutaways yeah i mean not like the editing was good she's not she's not killing it no they're cutting away it wasn't cringy i think the video concept was more cringy than some of the performance. They cut away to the band. They cut away to two random couple almost kissing that was completely unnecessary. She must have been pretty awkward. Kevin, it took like nine minutes for them to even show him

and his wife. Yes, I was waiting for the hairdresser. Is Kevin the forgotten Jonas brother? Was he ever popular? No. I feel like last time we talked about this this we talked about how Kevin is just like probably just always told to wait

in the back he was the Michelle of the group for sure aww yeah but that's okay Michelle gets a check she gets a point

exactly he does too and he's doing what is it Say Anything 16 Candles what's the movie oh shit

I think it's 16 Candles no Say Anything with the boombox scene yeah Say Anything where he's John Cusack and then this time a for 2020 update holds up an iPhone candles yeah oh shit i think it's 16 candles no say anything oh with the boombox scene yeah say anything where he's john cusack and then this time a for 2020 update holds up an iphone rather than a big-ass boombox so i guess that's the sounds really not gonna carry bro thank you you could still hold up a boombox or a beats pill y'all couldn't get beats to sponsor this music video who's his wife his wife is a hairdresser okay she used to be a hairdresser, and now she's a part of the Jonas Wives, and that is her occupation.

What is the Jonas Wives? Priyanka, her, and Sophie Turner. Wait, that's like an articulated description name? Yeah, they take pictures together. They, like, be on the PJ taking pictures. Do they call themselves that, or is that what fans call them? I don't know if they've called themselves that. But TMZ's called them that. Other outlets call them their own little group.

Are they also, the brothers and their wives, they're always hanging out? They're that tight-knit? Yeah, the wives be hanging out. Oh, shit. See, to me, I'm a single child. I'm like, dude, I couldn't be around people like that all the fucking time. I need my own blood. You could have friends.

I mean, friends is one thing and I hang out with them as i need to or as like when as i socialize i like to be alone a lot of the time you know a little fact about me same i recharge my batteries by myself like i take i'm sure the same way it's it's we put a lot of energy out when we interact with people it's never a boring time hanging out with us but that takes energy it does you know and then sometimes you're like okay now i gotta go back to my like you know new york tiffany pollard meme where i'm sitting on my bed with my sunglasses on. Just like, okay, now let me just recharge for the next round. I do the exact same thing.

I tweeted the other day. I was like, I can't wait till I get famous so I can stop being interesting. I'm so tired. I just want people to be fucking happy that I am in the room. Yeah, right. Like I don't have to say anything. And then when I leave, everyone's like, she was nice, right? That was great. She was nice. She was very nice. She looked at us in the room. Yeah, right. Like, I don't have to say anything. And then when I leave, everyone's like, she was nice, right? That was great.

She was nice. She was very nice. She looked at us in our eye. Like, me being nice to people being impressive and then me no longer having to be interesting. What tortured lives we live, huh?

You know? And then finally, Ivy Park Adidas is trending all over Twitter. Ooh. Because I believe the pre-sale began today. And it's sold out.

And it's completely done? Yeah. I don't even know why I'm even questioning that. It's Beyonce's collaboration with Adidas is the Ivy Park brand. And yeah, naturally, when I saw it, I was like, man, I want that shit. The shoes look dope as fuck. The shoes look the best to me out of everything. Some of the wardrobe, I was like beyonce unless i'm jumping out

of a plane where am i gonna wear this sis now am i gonna buy it and tailor it yes what's the jump out of a plane outfit you're referring to that's the um maroon uh jumpsuit with the orange vertical stripes got it um i think that on someone like me like i'm a petite person but i still am curvy and like it just doesn't hug any proportions to where I'm not going to look like a huge block. Like I'm going to look like I'm about to jump out of a plane. But I might still buy it and get it taken in. Oh, okay. Oh, because if your height, the waist cinched in might be where your hips are.

Well, it doesn't look normal on anybody's body type that I've seen so far. Even on Beyonce, it's very large. Ooh. Well, I mean, it looks good. I mean, also, she's been masterfully planning the social media rollout. Oh, absolutely. Because like, every huge person I feel like today,

whether it's Hailey Bieber or Yara Shahidi, does Zendaya get one, maybe? Yes, Zendaya did get one. And Reese Witherspoon? She loves Reese. Yeah. Reese is getting Ace of Spades gifts. Are they friends? I guess so, child, because she's getting the real, because Beyonce sent

out little, like, orange boxes. There's boxes for, like, the Wendy Williams's of the world. Right. There's the basic orange box, and then there's the, like, you're a bad bitch orange box that has a closet that arrives to your house. It looked like a full-on, yeah, like a mobile wardrobe, like, if you're on set, oh, here comes a wardrobe. It's an exact replica of that. Flight case. a full-on, yeah, like a mobile wardrobe, like if you're on set,

oh, here comes a wardrobe. It's an exact replica of that. Flight case. And it's boxed in. And Reese, my good sis, she went out here and she gave it to us. She got her box,

she unboxed it, then she started playing Beyonce music and coming out of the box in the outfits and I'd stand. And even some choreography too. Yes, Elle Woods.

Yeah, her kids taught her how to do some dances. I thought she was, I don't know if she was shooting or hitting. Yes, Elle Woods. Yeah, her kids taught her how to do some dances. I thought she was, I don't know if she was shooting or hitting them folks, but there was some dancing. The one thing I thought was, I like what she's doing with the three stripes. Uncertain things. I saw like some leggings where like it was creating like a V or something

at the bottom. It looks like, I mean, I'm sure she has great aesthetic and I'm sure the people that helped her design it know what they're doing. Well, Beyonce's past in fashion has been a rocky one. Yes. You know what I mean? Darion was a thing. House of Darion, yes.

And that was a struggle for us all. The early days of Ivy Park were pretty decent. Did she have a brand after Darion? Or was that just Tina Knowles had her brand? Tina had her brand. Yeah, what's Tina Knowles' brand called? I don't know. Yeah.

It's called Let's Move Past Tina. But she bought Ivy Park. So this is also the first launch under her complete ownership of this brand. What do you mean she bought Ivy Park? Like, she bought the brand back. Wait, who was it sold to? Wait, Beyonce created it and sold it and then bought it back? So I think she created it in combination with sold it and then bought it back so she I think she created

it in combination with Adidas and then got it bought it back now I know that it still is somehow affiliated with Adidas but I think she has more of a percentage of the ownership good for her yeah yeah oh wow so she like really reinvested in it I mean people are just a lot of the things I see on Twitter are people lamenting that or just saying, like, I played myself thinking I could get anything from Beyonce on this presale. Honestly, you need the strongest of Wi-Fi. Like, your Wi-Fi needs to be the strongest. Like, as strong as Nick Jonas' size. Fucking plug it in.

Yeah. Just plug the Ethernet directly in. Plug the Ether into your phone. Yeah, exactly. There's no other way to get it done. Are you going to cop? I am. Do you see some things you like?

But I'm going to go local. I'm going to go to an older people neighborhood like I was talking to you guys before. I'm going to go to the suburbs, and I'm going to fight some young white teenagers. Just elbow them the fuck out the way. Oh, yeah. Do you have a piece you're looking at specifically, or you just feel like I'm good to getting something? I want the shoes. The all-maroon shoes are really fly to me.

I also like the three-stripe shoes that she's doing with the maroon. Those are fly. I also really like that maroon dress that Reese showed up in. At the very end of the clip. Yes. The leggings. And I don't know. I have a love-hate relationship with that big-ass painter suit.

Yeah. What about an oversized hoodie? How are you feeling about an oversized hoodie? Unless it's like a dress, I don't want it. I guess that one is kind of. I mean, Beyonce's wearing it as a dress. I'm five feet tall, so it's probably a dress on me. Yeah it I guess that one could kind of I mean Beyonce's wearing it as a dress I'm five feet tall

so it's probably a dress on me yeah I love a hoodie dress you do? yeah I love any large shirt that I cannot wear pants with oh fantastic

I'm into it like Winnie the Pooh yeah but like the swag Winnie the Pooh's a girl yes yeah
