Guys, welcome to Tea Time.
This is a weekly pop culture podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network.
I'm Liz Kelly.
I'm Kate Hallow.
And I'm Amelia Weddemeier.
And today we're going to talk about Billy Ray Cyrus's new smash hit.
The worst celebrity pranks.
So bad.
Yeah.
And then we're going to do a deep dive into Courtney Kardashian's lifestyle website, pooch.
Hoosh!
Every time you hear the bell, we have to change topics.
No matter how much we want to keep talking about.
This will be hard this week.
Very difficult.
Keep it tight, you guys.
And now let's spill the tea.
Okay, we are starting off very strong.
This is tea time checks in with Billy Ray Cyrus.
Amelia, take it away.
Billow Bray.
Thank you.
I specifically asked me to do that.
Okay, so last night I was on my computer as...
Oh, my gosh.
As so many of us are.
Right, normally.
And I see on Twitter, Billy Ray Cyrus is trending.
And I'm like, oh, God, he died.
Oh, my God.
Like, I can't...
That's the natural.
sequence of events. Exactly.
I'm like,
someone's trending.
All right,
Miley's going to be huffing
like paint now.
This is not good.
But it turns out,
he has a new song out.
Hat down,
cross town,
living like a rock star,
spend a lot of money
on my brand new guitar.
Baby's got a half a diamond
rings and fend his sports braw
it's riding down Rodeo
in my Maserati sports car.
It's so good.
It's really good.
Less likely than his eventual death,
I would say.
This is my point cut.
Music is good now.
Yes.
Billy Ray.
You're so right.
It's called Old Town Road.
Is that what it's called?
Yes.
Yeah, it's the remix.
I've immediately blacked it out of my head.
It's a remix and he has collaborated with Lil Nas.
And it's just like,
it's really catchy.
And then the beat kicks in.
Yeah.
It's really good.
And he also, Billy Ray has a good voice.
Yeah.
Like I forgot.
He has a great voice.
Yeah.
Look it up.
It's actually like, against.
my best wishes, it's like, it's just
kind of a bop, you can't help them. Yeah, it's probably
number one on iTunes right now. We're recording at 10.30
a.m. and I've listened to it so far today
10 times, probably. Okay,
next one we're checking in with Kate.
Oh, boy. So this week was
Cinemacan, which is basically like a really
confusing sort of Comic Con ripoff
that nobody really understands.
But, so all the studios bring
new footage to their movies, and we got a first
look at Katz, the movie.
And by I say we got a first look, I mean, there were a lot
of tweets coming out of CinemaCon from
very confused film critics, including Sean Fantasy,
who saw behind the scene footage of cats,
were learning things about cats.
And it turns out that in Cats the Musical,
it's like just humans running around and leotards with makeup on.
Like we all know, we've all unfortunately seen it.
In the movie, they're going to be cat-sized.
Can you explain that?
So the actors in the movie will then be shrunken down.
Like Taylor Swift will be shrunken down into a cat-sized?
Yes, but it's actually like the sets all just have giant people.
of furniture.
This is like her dream come true.
So like, yes.
Will Taylor Swift have to be in a cat suit with cat makeup on singing and doing all this?
So halfway yes, but they're going to be using motion capture instead of makeup, which is so much
creepier and so much worse in so many ways.
Oh yeah.
So they're like adding like motion capture like animated fur as opposed to using like makeup
and having a beat theatrical.
We have all those like dots on.
Yes.
It's going to be like avatar but cats.
Which is like nothing anyone wants at all.
the animals to do that. Cats are, I know, I don't know how actually...
It's going to be really fucking creepy.
And they said there was behind the scenes footage of Taylor Swift saying, meow, with mocap dots on her face.
And also, like, they were just talking a lot about how it's like an inspirational story.
Okay, I don't...
I don't...
It's cats.
It's literally just cats.
What is the plot of cats in one sentence?
I don't know.
A million?
Cats do some cat shit.
It's literally about, like, the Jennifer Hudson character is the main character,
Gruzabella, and that's, like, the only one I remember.
Oh my God.
And she, like, she's the one that sings that iconic song, like,
Memories all alone in the moon.
So it's such a musical episode already.
So, and she, like, you know, was once, like, I don't know.
They're like a star or something.
She was, like, famous in cat world or something.
Oh, my God.
And then she, like, you know, fell on hard times, as we all do.
And I guess it's like, yeah, her comeback story or something.
It's something with, like, sad cats.
I hope that's, like, really wrong and that's just what you think cats is.
I, for one, can't wait.
I know.
This may be the first time.
time checks in with anything business
related. This is Beyonce signed
an overall deal, multi-layer deal with
Adidas this week. She's going to
relaunch Ivy Park. She did it once
back in 2016 with Top Shop
scrapping that. Going with
Adidas and doing like shoes
and apparel and stuff like that.
So she, you can't buy
Ivy Park in Top Shop anymore?
I guess you won't be able to.
Yeah, eventually, yeah.
Because Ivy Park wasn't that, I don't know,
not that popular. It wasn't
always on sale when I went to Topshop.
Yeah, same.
So I was looking into this because
Team Adidas as a whole in the celebrity
world has got a ton
of people. They've got
Kanye, Kendall. They got the whole, like,
Jenner Kardashian family at this point.
They have Alexander Wang, Donald Glover,
aka Childish Gambino, Carly Claus.
And then Nike is reserved, I feel like,
for the, like, all-star athletes.
And then Puma, the only people
left on Puma is Rihanna.
Oh, yes. And then
Selena Gomez, for some reason.
They also have BTS just for the record.
They got that international corner.
Thank you.
Kylie was on Huma.
Yes, exactly, for like a hot second.
And then Adidas bought her out.
And then, of course.
And Adidas also, I think, had Katie Perry and Ferell, too.
So they're hitting the music corner.
Yeah, they are.
I will definitely buy Beyonce's Adidas.
Oh, completely.
Completely.
Yeah.
I'm in.
Okay.
Everybody take a deep breath.
Our next category is,
Tea Time Investigates.
There's so much here.
I don't really exactly know where to start.
We're going to be investigating Push.
Push.
Which is, yeah, we should all do this.
Ready, Amelia?
Yeah.
Push!
Push!
Okay.
Oh, I hate it.
Push is Courtney Kardashian's lifestyle website and brand.
So to give you guys a little bit of context,
this is their mission statement pulled from their website.
Push is the modern guide to living your best life.
Our mission is to educate, motivate, create, and create, and
Curate a Modern Lifestyle
Achievable by all.
Wow.
Okay.
Which is the biggest bullshit.
Yeah, that's the lie.
I've ever heard.
She sent out a bunch of promo packages,
like kind of a random crowd.
Like, obviously all the regulars got one.
Ellen Pompeo got one, though.
Miley, Selma Blair, Demi Lovato.
I don't know.
It was kind of confusing
how she picked these people.
That is interesting.
But these promo packages were worth
almost $4,000.
So obviously, this lifestyle brand is not
achievable by all.
And we just have to mention the hashtag that they've been using.
Hashtag push the boundaries.
And pooshalicious.
And push-alicious.
You guys, this is insane.
Go to the website.
We spent so much time deep diving this brand.
Like, I've spent days on it.
We are highly trafficking around push.
We're going to get ads marketed.
Send us some shit.
Send us some stuff.
Amalia, do you want to start just like your baseline thoughts on push?
Yeah.
Okay, so push.
I'm sorry.
I can't even, this is, okay.
Push is the name, the nickname of Courtney's daughter, Penelope.
Right.
And I guess Courtney was just like, hey, let's do push because I have no other good ideas, which is really hard to believe.
It sounds like goop a little bit.
I was, yes.
It's a rip-off.
I was like, that's kind of bullshit.
And also, if you look at the font, it's very goop-like font.
Yeah.
This is all just like generic goop-lipper-off.
And then also, I was thinking about this because I have like a Squarespace website, you know, where I put like my work or whatever.
I'm pretty sure this is one of those templates.
Oh shit.
I honest to God, really.
It looks extremely similar.
It's very, and like, you know, on the top, it says like, it's like, it's like, it looks like a banner ad, but it's actually like Pinterest.
And there are little widgets that you can put on your website that are like linking out to things.
And even if it's not a square space, the fact that it reminds us of a square space tells you everything.
Exactly.
This is just, she was dropping in picks.
And at the same time, also the picks are not that high.
They're not. They're like selfies, like ripped from her Instagram, Gigi Hadid's Instagram.
She's Mitchell's Instagram.
Yeah.
She didn't ask. I bet you she did not. I'm sure she didn't. I know. There's so much like
Hadid on this website, which is like, really? It's like a Pinterest ripoff.
Do you have other thoughts before we go through our favorite lifestyle pieces of advice?
I mean, I hate it a lot. There are no bylines. I'm very curious about who is writing a lot of
these and not getting like these poor interns who are just like forced to write 400 words about
under-eye patches and not get any
credit whatsoever. Yeah.
But would you want credit?
I mean, yeah. Throw shit on a resume.
Oh, yeah, I guess so, yeah. I wrote for a pooch.
It's better than nothing.
That's true. That's true.
But yeah, it's, you know, it's mystery.
So there's all these articles, like a how-to
guide on basically everything you possibly need to know
to live this, like, curated, modern, what a healthy lifestyle.
All of these are, like, okay,
we should just start and say like our favorite pieces
of lifestyle advice that we got from push.com.
Oh my gosh.
So one of the articles is titled Daily Habits to Lead a More Mindful Life.
And I'm like, yeah, I should lead a more mindful life.
Like, that sounds okay.
I love how she's just throwing out these like, mindful sounds like it's in.
Right.
So I clicked on the article.
It told me to walk.
It told me to take a walk.
So I was like, okay, so that's not really that helpful.
So let me go to a different article.
Then I went to How to Look Good Naked.
Useful for everybody.
Sure.
And you know what it told me?
use candlelight, like, to look good naked.
Yeah, it was like, dim lighting was her suggestion.
Wow, that is bullshit.
Literally, there's a whole section where it's like lighting.
And it's like, turn the lights off.
This is what I'm saying.
This is why I'm frustrated.
This woman has access and resources to, like, the top everybody, basically the top, like
hotel spa treatments and doctors and stuff like this.
And the only thing she could come up with to tell me how to look good naked is to be
a dim lighting, which we all discovered as teenagers.
I don't think so.
I just hear more than that.
I really do.
This is insane.
And then 100%.
Iceing on the cake for me was going to Courtney's signature salad.
I'm like, she's a healthy woman.
This will probably be good for me.
Courtney's signature salad is literally you open up the article and it's a picture of a plate
with two hard boiled eggs, three sliced tomatoes, two slices of avocado and two
mozzarella balls, all separate.
Which did not look like mozzarella balls for the record.
No.
What the hell?
is going on with this website.
Groundbreaking stuff.
I can't believe it.
Also, I just want to say that you may look on Instagram and it has like millions of followers.
They're using the old dash Instagram handle.
So it's really, yeah.
She is conning us.
Oh my God.
She is conning us.
I also just real quick, it does go to the other side where it's like there's some really
obvious shit that we didn't need her to tell us.
And then there is like a couple things where it's like must haves for a relaxing night in.
And there's an infrared amethyst pad for added.
enjoyment and bliss that helps relieve pain, improve circulation, and provide full body warmth.
Again, this is supposed to be accessible for everyone.
$1,600.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
For this amethyst pad?
Don't know what that does.
Is it heat up?
Yeah.
Is it a massage thing?
Just, it's a money grab.
I don't know.
Anyway.
And then there's also that Barbara Sturm.
Oh, right.
We love Barbara Sturm.
Yeah, and she has it on here.
It's not like she's accessible.
Right.
She's actually the least accessible.
Right.
Yeah.
All right.
Anyway.
What I will say, though,
to her credit, all of this info
was basically on her app that people paid for.
At least someone had the sense to be like,
okay, no one wants to pay for it. You just got to release
it for free. Oh, also, I love
this title.
Cool books for your coffee table.
Oh, I read that one too.
Anyway, good luck to push.
Oh, man. Okay. Next category
is this week in social media.
It was April Fool's on Monday.
Each year, the celebrity world
tries to prank
someone or the general public, and 99% of the time it doesn't work.
These are the worst April Fool Day posts. Who wants to take the first one?
The first one was just some real bullshit. It was Justin Bieber and Haley Baldwin. He had three
separate Instagram posts. The first one was like, why can't I think of the name? Asanagram.
Thank you. Welcome. And it was literally just like where you Googled the picture of it.
And it was like so obviously fake. Yeah. So that was like extremely low effort. So that was like extremely
low effort. And like to the point where we were like,
is it actually real and he's trying to make us think that it's fake?
Like it was like, we're like, no one's this stupid to try to fake
fake people out like this because like little John or whatever his fucking name is.
Zan, thank you. I'm sorry, he said little Noss earlier in the episode.
So that threw me off.
Anyway, he just did that too. And then he was like, we're not faking.
And he posted a picture of Haley Baldwin with like people inspecting her stomach in the bed.
And it was like, maybe she is.
pregnant? Yeah, my thinking on that was like
Haley Baldwin is so humorless. I don't think
she would willingly pose with her
blouse up and a doctor
touching her stomach. She's getting an ultrasound.
Yeah. That's so true. Yeah.
So anyway, turned out to be fake and the real highlight
of this was his apology. So
obviously people were pissed. This is a really
shitty thing to do. It is. Faking a pregnancy.
Every year someone tries, like everybody does this.
There's a ton of backlash. Yeah.
It's just like learn. He's literally such an
idiot. But he
posted this apology and he said, I truly don't want
anyone to be hurt by a prank. It's like when I shoved
cake in my little sister's face for her birthday.
Expecting her to laugh, but she cried.
You sometimes just don't know what will hurt someone's feelings.
Not to compare pregnancy with cake in the face, but it's just
to paint a picture of not knowing what we'll offend.
Some might have laugh and some were offended. I think with
pranks you sometimes have to roll that dice. Hashtaghtag
Frankster, hashtag Dennis the menace. Hashtag sorry,
hashtag truly. The hashtags are
a hall of fame. A real hall of fame.
And that was like all one sentence. It's just horrible.
Also, isn't he supposed to be in rehab and taking care of his
mental health? This is not good for
his mental health. It's been a real rollercoaster with him lately. On the other side of the
spectrum for a worst April Fool's Day post, this was horrible just because it was like so
genuine. Like, no, like, it was not anywhere funny, not for the like pregnancy thing, but just like
what the hell are you doing? Jennifer Garner posted an Instagram with a book in her hand. She's
on the cover and it says like, bless her heart by Jennifer Garner. She's like her new line.
Yeah. After divorcing Ben Affleck. She's teasing the release of her memoir and she was like,
I'm so happy to finally share this with all of you. I've written a book.
Thank you to everyone who will bring these stories to life and held my hand along the way.
Like very genuine, like, very serious.
And then a couple hours later, she's like, ha, ha, it's fools.
Like, that's just a lie.
Are you kidding?
It's just like, like, not real.
It's like, like, it's like, like, and says, like, mem instead of me.
It was just like, mom, like, leave.
Also, I was like, kind of excited for it.
Yeah, that's what everyone is excited for it.
Cool.
Okay, cool, Jennifer Garner.
In a much more creepy news, Dr. Phil tried to press.
the world by thinking that by tricking everyone and says that he shaved his mustache.
Also look, yeah, actually much less creepy with a mustache, which has never been done before.
Really creepy without it.
Yeah.
So Dr. Phil, that was a fail as well.
And then the icing on the cake was North and St. West trying to prank their parents.
So North took ketchup up to Kim Kardashian's bedroom, told her like lie down and spread ketchup
all over her.
And then I guess North taught St. her younger brother had a fake cry.
and then she told Saint to scream to the house where Connie was
and he goes, Mommy is dead!
Oh my God.
It's like so dark, like North, I'm scared.
She's a real child.
And then Kim, like the, I don't know who she was being interviewed with.
They're like, oh my God, that sounds like really intentional.
Like, no, I'm so happy they're working together as a team.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it goes, Connie ran upstairs and was like, kids, this is not funny.
This is not a good break.
Yeah, for once, Kanye is like the voice of reason here, which is so alarming.
That's when you know.
That's bad.
Okay, what else is going on social media?
Just real quick, also on social media.
There was a video making the rounds of Catherine Hahn and Rachel Weiss set to the score of Carol.
Obviously, like, lesbian Jesus, Rachel Weiss is just like really popular online right now.
But it was just Catherine Hahn literally just like staring at her and being obsessed with her for like three minutes straight.
Just like such intense eye contact to this like swelling score.
And it was really great.
So if you need to like decompress from like all those bullshit April Fool's Pranks, definitely go watch that.
Yeah.
All right, and Amelia, last one.
Okay, so it's making the rounds.
It's another one of those, this or that.
It was a black car versus silver car, which pretty much exemplifies parking in Los Angeles.
If you've ever been to L.A., you live in L.A., we can all attest.
The parking here is horrible.
Korea, especially.
And yeah, and I think it was in Korea town.
It was.
And there were two cars in one car, I think, was it the black car that was, or the silver car was pulling.
Yeah, they were like fighting over this parking spot.
One of them was trying to parallel park into it.
And the other one just like block them out, which is a dick move.
It really was.
And this girl just captured it on Twitter.
It was like hours and hours these people sitting in their cars refusing to move.
Which is just like...
It's too much.
It was too much.
Yeah.
But everyone's sort of like wade in on it.
You said Chrissy Teigen wait in.
Yeah, the internet goddess of the internet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She was like, if you believe that the car that was pulling or that was blocking the other car was the one in the right, then, you know, you need to evaluate yourself or something.
People have very strong opinions about these cars.
Well, I think it was definitely, I think the person who was backing in doing the parallel parking, they were in the right.
The other guy was being a dick and just like not letting him in.
Yeah, I don't know.
Stubberness in general.
But yeah, that's wild.
And my favorite part was at the very end.
It's fully nighttime now.
And after neither one wanted to get out of their car because then guess what people, it's like when you like flip someone off and then they pull up next to you and you like there's an actual human being.
Their consequences.
Right.
Like no one wants to face each other.
It's ridiculous.
Be better, people.
Be better Los Angeles.
Okay, next category.
You know, some weeks a lot happens in relationship news and other weeks like this one.
We're going to be giving some updates.
It's not necessarily T-Times biggest relationship exactly.
No.
But there have been some news about relationships.
So we're going to start.
Amelia, you go first.
Okay.
Well, this-
Try to keep yourself under control.
Okay.
Well, all I'm going to say is that Miranda Kerr, former Victoria's Secret Angel,
was married to Orlando Bloom.
They have a child, Flynn Bloom, which is like a great.
That is a great name.
So she and Evan Spiegel, who's the duchy founder of Snapchat,
announced they're having a baby, and that's disgusting and gag me with a spoon.
Why is it disgusting?
You have to give one solid reason.
Because Evan Spiegel is absolutely like the filth in scum of the earth.
Okay.
We'll take it.
Go off.
Google.
Google Evin Spiegel emails college, and we'll understand why.
Oh, damn.
Yeah.
Wow.
And happier relationship news.
Paparazzi photos have emerged of Tea Times new favorite couple, Emma Roberts and Garrett Headland.
And guess what? That's pretty much it.
But then I gave this some more thought because I love Garrett Headland and he needs more airtime on some time.
And this is what I came to the conclusion of every main actor in Country Strong is in a happy relationship.
Gwyneth Paltrow, happily married to Brad Faltrow.
Garrett Haldon, happily now in a relationship with Emma Roberts.
Tim McGrath.
Happily married to Faith Hill.
Layton Meester, happily married to Adam Brody.
Yes.
You guys, they're truck-granger for Country Strong.
Everybody's doing so great.
I'm so happy.
I think you've willed that into...
I think I did.
Also, Garrett Headlin has like a shaved head in these pictures.
Oh, he looks amazing.
And he's great, pulling it off. That's a tough look.
It is a tough look.
Very happy for the Country Strong cast.
Yes.
We're also happy for Issa Ray.
Yeah, she got engaged her long-time boyfriend.
It's great. It is great.
She has a great show. Insecure is a great show.
I loved her not to be like,
I remember when I saw her before in that.
But I did.
I like Issa, if you're listening, I know you're not, but I liked you before.
I liked you before you had your HBO show.
Awkward Black Girl, the web series.
Check it out.
It is my favorite web show of all time.
Wow.
It's so fun.
And it has a lot of the same elements as Insecure.
And the episodes are like seven minutes long.
Check out.
So funny.
Yeah.
It's great.
Okay.
Next category is not worth the tea.
Amelia, go first.
Queen of Brentwood, as Liz Kelly would say.
Ben Affleck, he admitted in an interview that he goes to Dunkin' Donuts every day.
Which also, I've seen him more often than not with Starbucks.
Completely, that's his whole thing.
Like, Trenti size.
Yeah.
So it's like, how much caffeine is this man getting per day?
I want to know, like, his order.
Like, does he get food from Dunkin' Donuts?
Is he just getting, like, an iced coffee?
Here's what I think.
I think from Starbucks, it's like a Trenti Black.
coffee. The man looks miserable all day long. I feel like he doesn't eat any sugar, no milk. He just
needs that straight. He always has from Duncan. It's always like looks like a latte. But it's like
huge. But it could be one of those like, I feel like maybe from Duncan, it's like full of sugar.
I don't know. I feel like his body is just kind of like a dumpster at this current moment.
And I feel like he's getting two donuts. A bagel. A bagel. That's what I think is a culotta.
You can't go to Dunkin' Donuts and just get some sort of like a healthy ice coffee.
No. Duncan Donuts.
You can't go there and not get some sort of sugary beverage or food.
So he's hitting it up.
I really think that this is, yeah, this is like an unhealthy habit.
He's literally going to Starbucks in the morning, dunk in the afternoon, and then eating...
And cigarettes at night.
Yeah.
All right.
Next thing, not worth the tea.
Okay, so on Chrissy Teagan and Miley Cyrus's Instagram stories this week, they put on this freaky mask that Kim Kardashian sent out along with this sunglasses collection that she had, which obviously is just like an attempt to go viral and tell these sunglasses.
But, like, it looks so much like her.
And it's so freaky that, like, I opened up the Instagram stories and I thought for a second
that I was looking at Kim Kardashian's face.
Yeah.
Because it's so, I mean, first of all, arguably, her face is, like, very masked like now.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Yeah.
There's, like, a natural connection here.
But it's, like, these freaky, like, masks.
And you just have these little baby holes for the eyes.
And then she has, like, her sunglasses on them.
And it's just, like, the most Kim Kardashian, like, thing where she, like, is probably, like,
oh, it's so high fashion.
and like avant-garde and everyone else's like,
no, it's just your fucking face, like made out of plastic.
Right, right.
Anyway, not into it, extremely against it.
You know what I'm also not into?
Freaking janties,
aka gene panties.
Oh, God.
They hit this scene last Paris Fashion Week.
They're basically high-wasted denim underwear,
but meant to be worn as like pants or shorts.
Oh, God.
But they cut high, you know, on your pelvis.
And they, I don't understand.
are cursed.
Liz is kind of trying to demonstrate.
And they are being sold for $315, you guys.
And almost every size is sold out.
From where?
From what collection?
On this high-end, like, luxury, like, consignment story.
Like, will we be seeing Kim in janties anytime soon?
Without a doubt.
Definitely, I feel like Kendall.
That feels like a Kendall.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Agreed, but she's got to get custom janties because her big butt's not going to fit into.
That's true.
That would make them.
That's true.
It would be like Jivanchi.
Janis or something.
Quickly moving on from gene panties.
Super, super quick.
Also now with the tea.
Ariana Grande released a new song with her best friend,
Victoria Monet.
And it's called Monopoly.
But the video is like a student high school,
like music video project.
Yeah.
It reminds me so much of like the Timothy Shaleney math rap that was like really
silent that he literally did for like extra credit in school.
And it's like super low budget.
There are like these words flying around.
It's basically like they just try to like create these memes.
That's literally, there's like a genre.
of like, I don't want to say genre of film,
but there is like a genre online
of like reaction videos that people just use
for memes. And they're so
fucking low quality at this point. They've been like
re-recorded over and recorded on a phone
and then on a Nokia phone.
This is like so clearly she's trying to become like a
reaction gift in like every 10 seconds
in this video. It's so low budget.
It also just feels like a favor that she did for her friend.
Yeah. It gave me a headache to watch. It's so
annoying. It's just like really bad.
Yeah. It's bad on every level.
But it was like number one on iTunes.
Of course.
Of course.
Okay.
This next category is Tea Time's most unanswerable question of the week.
I've got a real variety here.
We do.
A lot of questionable stuff happened this week.
I was, once again, like 40 pages deep in some celebrity news outlet trying to find content for Tea Time.
And like I really scroll by pretty quickly all the headlines.
And then I scroll by this one.
And then I went back up and was like, wait, what the fuck?
I read this four additional times.
The title of the article from Just Jared is
Ashley Simpson and Evan Ross attend Fabriz's
The Freshness album party.
No.
What?
So just to start off, my unanswerable question is
what is going on with Fabriz?
Quick follow up, what is going on with Ashley Simpson and Evan Ross?
I have a TV show, I think.
Further inspection,
Fabriz, like the actual air freshener company,
is releasing an album called The Freshness.
And it's featuring full-length songs that were released in the ads and commercials for Fabriz.
A legitimate album of the songs that are like, who-hoo, who, who.
Kate Hollowell's fate, like, has not moved in 15 seconds.
I'm trying to process this information.
Can you believe that?
That's why I read this five times.
I was like, what is going on?
Wait, so is it just like musical instrumentation?
I don't know.
I mean, that was the release price, so it's not, I don't know that it's like out there for the public yet, but.
Wow.
It's just embarrassing.
It's embarrassing for everyone involved.
Yeah.
How much do you think they had to get paid to attend?
Like, I get attending, like, a Target launch for some collection or whatever.
But Fabriz's album?
Maybe they got free Fabriz.
For like, the rest of their lives?
Who needs Fabriz?
These people are celebrities, like, hire cleaning service.
I don't get it.
I will never have an answer to this question.
If you guys have thoughts, feel free to tweet us, but this can't be answered.
I also think it's really interesting.
She has kind of turned into, like, an influencer.
Yeah.
Yeah, she has.
Well, that's where the money's at because she's not going to get a lot of money.
That's why she's getting the Fabriz thing.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Huge question.
It's weird.
It's weird.
Okay.
Next question.
Amelia.
Okay, so I'm sorry for even bringing us up.
It's always good when we start with a huge sign.
Yeah.
Okay, so I don't know if you guys know who JoJo Siwa is.
Oh, unfortunately, I do.
I could be pronouncing that wrong.
I know people will come out of the woodwork to tell me.
Easy.
I think you for telling.
What else could it be, right?
I don't know.
So anyway, she's like this YouTuber who got famous from like a dance mom competition show.
She's like blonde.
She looks like she's 10, but come to find out, she's actually almost 16.
Oh, my God.
She looks so young.
Yeah.
And she's like 5'9.
She's almost 16.
She also has, she has this bow collection with like, I don't know, like some, like, clairs or something with like these really god-awful, like hideously large and neon bows.
Yeah.
So anyway, she like lives in this random ass house, I guess, like in the valley or something.
and it's like just like a child's dream.
And it's like rainbows, they're unicorns, there's slime.
And for the content on YouTube, she has this new video out where she babysits north,
as in Northwest, daughter of Kim and Kanye for like, I don't know how long.
But I'm just...
Probably half hour much.
I would hope so.
But this girl who looks like she's 10, also, she has the voice of Lindsay Lohan's mother.
She's really like, really?
How's it going?
Yeah, like, I'm not looking up.
No.
Yes way.
Yes way.
Yes.
Her face screams like a...
10.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
Yes.
Watch the act on Hulu.
Like a really kid you like high end or like high pitch voice.
No, no.
It's jarring.
I'm part of the Who Weekly Facebook group and they've been examining her hairline because she ties her hair back so tight.
Literally like over the past couple years like her airline literally is moving back because she ties her hair back so tightly.
I cannot believe how old she is.
Yeah.
Well, she also went kind of viral back like a couple months ago because she got a car.
This god-awful car.
She loves rainbows in dumb, like, just things you like when you're, like, 10.
Yeah.
And Justin Bieber commented on it and was, like, burn it.
Which is probably one of the smartest things he's ever said.
Agreed.
So, yeah, so she's, you know, doing that.
So, what my question is, when will the reign of the YouTube influencer end?
Oh, God, not any time soon, but also not soon enough.
Do you guys ever live out?
No.
No, okay.
No, extremely against it.
I'm still trying to get in the unboxing game.
I would love to be an influencer where you just like unbox packages, which is so,
is so insanely popular on YouTube.
Yeah.
So trying to get in it.
Hit me up for requests.
There's one YouTuber that I like, but like in an ironic way.
Trisha?
Yeah, Trisha Peta's.
You have to Google her.
She's, it's hard.
We should do a whole segment on her one day.
I would die.
Yes, please.
We're going to put a pin in that.
Okay.
Okay.
Final on answerable question.
did Harry Styles hook up with Stevie Nix?
Let me give you some context for that.
At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Awards last week,
it was right after this podcast came out last week,
so I've been sitting on this all week,
and it's been really difficult for me.
Yeah, you have.
Harry was presenting to Stevie.
They're really close.
He's like, you know, they've done covers together in the past.
She's always like a son to me, et cetera.
However, he was presenting to her, and he said,
she's all you could ever want,
and a lady, a lover, and a friend.
Wow.
Damn, lover.
First of all, if that is not the case,
Harry, please, like, understand that, like, your words have meaning
and people are going to buy into them.
So we were thinking about this.
Obviously, I do not think Harry Styles hooked up with Stevie Nix.
How can we be sure?
We can't be sure.
And he has a history of hooking up with older women.
Kate did some research.
Real quick.
There are so many.
This is, like, not all of them.
He's been linked to so many older women.
At 17, he was linked to Caroline Flack, who is 32.
at the same time.
And she has since been like, oh, it was worth it.
Like, yeah, it's bad.
This was a man saying that.
I know.
I know.
It's really bad.
Lucy Horriban, who was 33.
He was also 17.
He was ruined to be with her.
In 2015, he was linked with Aaron Foster, who was 32.
He was still a teenager.
At age 19, he was linked with Kimberly Stewart, Rod Stewart's daughter.
Yeah.
Seen leaving their house.
Rod Stewart was like, he's a nice guy, like, accidentally confirmed that.
Also, Rod Stewart's daughter, Kimberly.
has a child with Benicio del Toro.
That's mind-bullying information.
I learned all about her this week. It was really fun.
And also, he's been linked with Alexa Chung on and off, especially in 2014 when she was 30, and he was still a teenager.
As you guys know, I'm into the huge age gap couples like, you know, Leo and his girlfriend.
I support this couple more than anything.
Do you really?
Of course, I'm obsessed to Stevie Nix.
See, I thought you'd be against it for that reason.
You don't want them to love like a mother-son relationship.
You want them to, like, be in love.
Well, now that you say it like that,
she's literally 70 years old, just to throw that out there.
She looks like she's in love and a lover.
I want the best for both of them, but I don't want it in this way.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Real quick, before we wrap up, we actually have one more segment.
Yes, surprise for producer Kaya.
It is her birthday tomorrow.
And in honor of this momentous day,
Kaya, first of all, we went onto your Twitter to find some old, like, old, really embarrassing pop culture tapes.
Yeah, we were going to, like, drag you for some of your, like, really old tweets.
But all we found was political stuff in 2016.
Like very smart political commentary.
Yeah.
You go, girl.
We stand Kaya already more than we already do.
I was a little disappointed, but in a good way.
Right.
So instead...
We decided to look up who else has a birthday on April 6th.
How old are you turning tomorrow?
I'll be 23.
23.
Woo!
And so we looked up some other celebrities who have the same birthday.
We're going to say try to decide whether or not they're a better hang than Kaya.
The bar is really high because you're a very good hang.
You are.
So, first off, we have to start with the most important one.
Kaya, are you aware that you share a birthday with Liz Kelly's ultimate celebrity nemesis?
No.
Who is it?
Speak for yourself, Kaya.
Do you know who her ultimate celebrity nemesis is?
Think about it.
Paul Rudd.
Yeah.
Paul Rudd turns 50.
And he shares a birthday with Kaya.
I used to love you.
Yes.
So we've been saving this.
We're going to save the details for a later date to talk all about Liz's.
This is a long and storied history.
Liz has real beef with Paul Redd.
But obviously,
Kaya's a better hang than Paul Red.
He's the only one that comes close,
but like, no question.
Also, really tough array, other than him.
Zach Braff's birthday's tomorrow.
He was, like, notoriously, like, tough
and, like, blocks people on Twitter
if they, like, critique his movies.
So, like, Kaya would never do that.
Sophia Butella, who's, like, cool,
but, like, nobody really knows who she is,
so she doesn't count.
I don't know who that is.
Candice Cameron Burr.
She sucks.
She sucks.
Wait, full house?
Yeah.
And her brother's that crazy guy.
I follow her trainer on YouTube and like she's really good like crunches, but that's all she's got going for.
But that's kind of you're probably better at crunches.
Yeah, kind of great shape.
No, I feel like you are.
No, you can kick Cameron Candice Burr's ass.
And then there were a variety of YouTubers and cool TikTok style.
Oh no.
Which is like the next level of like horrible YouTube fame.
Yikes.
And Kyah, have you ever used TikTok?
No, I have no concept of what TikTok is.
You're beating literally everyone on this list.
She wins, yeah.
We would rather hang out with you than Paul Rudd.
Yeah, and everybody, go wish your happy birthday.
It's tomorrow, Saturday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, thank you.
Happy birthday, thank you.
Thank you for listening.
And I'm Liz Kelly.
I'm Goodallel.
And I'm Amelia one of mine.
And happy birthday, happy birthday, Goda!
Happy birthday, Goda!
