Welcome to The Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Liz Kelly. Fresh off of Talk the Thrones, the Ringer is introducing a new live Twitter after show covering season two of HBO's Big Little Lies. Immediately after each episode, the Ringer's Amanda Dobbins and ESPN's Mina Kimes will be going live to give their initial reactions and break down everything we saw in the episode. And to kick us off, there will be a special season two preview airing on Friday, June 7th at 12 p.m. Pacific. So join Amanda and Mina for Big Little Live every Sunday on Twitter. Hey guys and welcome back to Tea Time. This is a weekly pop culture podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Liz Kelly.

I'm Kate Hallowell. And I'm Amelia Weddemeier. And today we are talking about the elusive shantuce, not Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus. We are reliving prom season. And then we're going to try to understand what the frick is Cliff Wife. Cliff Wife. Every time you hear the bell, we have to change topics, no matter how deep we've gone into Cliff Wife. And now let's spill that.

T. Okay, the first category, as always, is tea time checks in with. The news is slow. The summer's just beginning. So, T-time is checking in with prom season because... It's important. It is important. Almost everybody goes to a prom or has a prom. We are kind of old at this point, so it's kind of a distant memory for us all, except for Kaya and Kate, maybe. Wow, I'm like a year here. This is prom season, you guys, because what? It's like right end of May, school's about to be on a couple weeks, like this is when everyone's pairing up, like, hooking up for the last time before they all go up to college. Wow.

This is important time. It is. It's extremely important. Okay, so of course you have to relate this to celebrity news at first. So we have to touch on the celebrities that went with fans for prom, which I feel like is always a bad idea, but a ton of people have done it. Taylor Swift went to prom. I remember hers vividly.

That was like huge news when it happened. Yeah, and that was old school Taylor's show. She's got her like really super curls, like her, yes. as part of that MTV show Once Upon a prom. And Rihanna did that same thing as part of that show. Which, looking back, that is so

insane that that MTV show got those two. They weren't as big at the time, but like Rihanna at your prom? That's like a commentary on how huge MTV used to be. Yeah, completely. And then in the most Katie Perry move of all time, also apparently she crashed a prom

in Melbourne, Australia, while she was on a tour, literally just walked in and no one stopped her. And that was also vintage Katie Perry because she had like the really super black hair and the like blunt bangs. Yeah. Wow. Vintage Katie Perry. And then of course, Kylie Jenner most recently in 2017 went to a prom with a guy who got rejected by his crush. I think it like went viral on social media.

That's how it always happens. And then her and Jordan Woods went to his prom. Wow. So she brought her friend as like also. That's actually very smart. That is pretty good. Yeah. And also good for him because he's got Kylie Jenner on one hand and then Jordan Woods on the other.

Which like now looking back is like a. better situation than he thought it was. Those photos. A time capsule, you know, RIP, that friendship. And then also celebrities that were homecoming prom king and queen. Okay. You guys can tell me if you think this is warranted. Meryl Streep, of course. Oh, thank you.

Sure. Okay. The second best fanning, Dakota fanning, was also a homecoming. Okay, but she was the best fanning when she was homecoming queen. That's true. At that point, Elle was just a mere child. She was like in middle school. And also, you have to take it into account that she's been an actress forever. So it's just like... She was like a big deal

then. That's probably just a popularity contest. She was in Sweet Home Alabama. Like, wow. Renee Zellwiger was Homecoming Queen. Nice.

Paul Red, which will fly right past. Jessica Simpson and Rashida Jones. Those are famous celebrity brown queens. I can see that. Nice.

And then you guys have to. I feel like Amelia, I need this in your words. Jaden Smith. Oh my God. What is with him and his Batman suit? It's like this white

leather, like gimp suit that masquerade as a Batman? Yeah. Masquerades as a Batman. It was recently. He was like trying to be alternative, Jane Smith. Well, and we saw the same look at Kim and Kanye's wedding.

Right? Did we? Yes, I think it was either her wedding to Kanye or her wedding to, what's his face? Chris, Chris Humphreys. Oh, and he has a music video where he's also doing the Batman thing. See, it's this thing that he wears. Oh, no. Holy shit.

I didn't know about this and I glad I didn't and I wish I still didn't. I'm so sorry. Okay, now everyone in Tea Time, including the Yukaya, has to go through one prom story. Thank you, Millie. You're right. Holy shit, that's weird. You guys look up, what is that? Kim and Kanye's wedding.

Jane Smith, Batman suit. That's not where I saw this going, but I'm really happy that we're here now. Oh, no. Okay, so we're talking about prom? Yeah. What was your prom like? Well, I can talk about I had a promposal junior year. It involved.

I'll just list off some things that it involved, and then we can move on as quickly as possible. I'm not one for grand jest. public gestures like this. Yeah, no shit. So it involved an auditorium and a smoke machine and the theme song from Rocky. This was someone asking you to prom. Oh, my God, you don't. I'm talking about it.

Right on. Wow. That's what you get from my. Oh, my God. I'm shocked that I said yes. But anyway, continue. You go, girl. You go, girl.

Damn, mine was a kid who I was friends with. played like Scrabble one time. Wow. And he on my car wrote like in the little letters like, you know, prom. And then he just said yes. Like he didn't give me an option to say no. It just said prom. Yes. And I was like, okay. So that was an example.

Amelia, how are you asked her prom? So my friend and I, and this is going to sound bad, but we, there was this old lunch lady and we would just like, careful. She was ancient though. Like her social security number was, it had to be like in the double digits.

But she was lovely. She's nice. Her name was June. I don't know how I remember this. But anyway, my friend and I had like this running joke about how she's so old. So he printed out a piece of paper because he's really, you know, creative like that. And it was a picture of June the lunch lady. I don't know how he got the photo.

And it was like, you want to go to prom with me? Oh, my God. That's most Amelia. No, it really is. That's so on brand. for you. I'm assuming you had a resounding yes. Like you were like, this is my shit. Yes. No, it was great.

Oh, no. I really enjoyed the person I went to prom once. He's a good guy. Kyaz-or going to smash that mic. Yeah. Oh, man. So my senior year of high school, my then high school boyfriend put a note inside

of like a little fortune cookie. Oh, that's really sweet. How do you get it in a fortune cookie? I don't know. I didn't ask. That's also pretty on brand. Just like, yeah, that's very sweet. I know it's very sweet. I'm the best one.

That's why we made to go last. Kate, I want to hear more off-mic about your... Absolutely not. Okay. All right. Next category is this week in social media. I'm excited for this first one. Kate, go ahead.

Ansel Al Gort, everyone's favorite fuck boy, posted 17 shirtless selfies in a row on Instagram with no caption. They were like varying pictures of like this side of his face, then the other side of his face. And then like in a mirror, the same poses. It's kind of like if you did a flip book of them, it would be like one, like mugshot. Like a fuckboy mugshot.

He's the worst. He's going to be in the goldfin. That trailer just came out. The movie looks great except for him. Yeah. He's also going to be Tony in West Side Story. Get ready for that. God, he's the worst.

Kay, buckle up. He's going to be in the stratosphere for like a long time. I'm really mad about it. It's like he got like drunk. Like you know how drunk girls would be like, pick your time? Yeah. That's literally what it is. Right.

But like he posted all of them. Yep. It was kind of a weird move because as a celebrity you're like, the whole thing now is you try to be cool. and you like don't give a shit and you just whatever. That feels like one step too far. You know what I mean?

Yeah. That's not a cool social media presence. It's not. All right. Next one, Amelia. But you know what it is cool? No, I'm kidding. Yeah.

It is. This is cool. This is cool. Well, this is for Liz. Tim McGrath of country strong fame. And Faithel's husband and also a country singer in his own, right? Mostly country strong fame.

But that's his primary title. He went on like some deep sea fishing journey. And he posted a picture of him on his Instagram, holding up a giant ass fish. But he's also, you can see him standing there in like these little board shorts and abs. Like abs. He looks four days. Absolutely amazing. He is chiseled.

And he was like, oh, look, I caught a fish. And everyone was like, forget the fish. What is your ab routine, sir? Also, he's 52 years old. He looks amazing. He is cut, you guys. He really is. He got a nice tan.

I'm looking at this right now. He's got a little like salt and pepper scruff. Yeah. He looks great. Tim McGraw. Wow. Good for you. Faith. Yeah. I mean, she's like so beautiful. She's gorgeous. They deserve each other. I really like them as a couple. Okay, this next one is kind of bizarre.

Kate, you go ahead. Well, you know, we like to talk about weird social media trends. There was this tweet where it was like, women, if you have a freckle on your wrist, like respond or something. And like all these women were like, yes, I have a freckle in the middle of your wrist. I have one. Do you guys have one? Liz doesn't have one. So you're not a woman.

I'm from Mars though. Kaya. Kaya, do you have one? Yeah, I do. But, like, I have a lot of freckles. Yeah, I know. I don't think that's what it's a freckle. That's not a freckle, right?

Um, I think, I don't think that's a frackle. But I have this. That's a pen mark. It's a middle of your hand. I mean, I just put it to the middle of her palm and was like, I have this. No. Actually, you know what? I have this.

It's like a little dot on my left finger. No one can see this kind of stuff. I'm just saying it's on my left finger, but that's how I used to tell between right and left. I can't tell if this is horrible content or not. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's always to you guys. Anyway, if you're a woman listening, look at your wrists.

And if you have a freckle in the middle of either of your wrist, not the middle of your hand. Like Amelia, I don't know. You can be part of this phenomenon. There were like 21,000 retweets. So, you know. Damn. Wow. It was a thing.

We're also ending this social media weird ass category with someone who's been dominating the world at large, but specifically Twitter. And it's Lil Nas. Obviously, we've discussed Old Town Road. on a previous podcast. We are all huge fans of him in general. We're fans of Billy Ray and the song. So we're on board. He has not as many followers as I thought he'd have.

He has 891,000. On Instagram? On Twitter. Oh. I know, kind of low for someone who goes so viral all the time. He is doing absolutely amazing for those who are rooting along with us. He just got a new apartment. He got two new Bernie's Mountain Dog puppies who are so cute.

Dude. His song has been number one on the charts for like a very steady two months now. Oh my God, yeah. It's incredible. So the reason why he's in the social media category, though, is because he's just extremely good at Twitter. He's so good at it. And it goes viral all the time. And just is, I feel like we talk about this a lot. So everybody's trying to be pretty annoying nowadays to try to be cool with the kids, you know. And he does it in a really authentic way.

100%. His tweets are amazing. I highlighted two. This is one of them. The year is 2050. Stuart Little is president. The 10-year World War led by Shrek and Thanos has ended.

Old Town Road has reached its 1,615th week at number 1 and Brother Nature has stopped global warming. The world is at peace. It's got like so many thousands. You look so confused. Do you not get these references, Amelia? No, I do, but it's just like so random.

I mean, he's a bizarre guy. I know, totally. And I respect that. I love that. I just, it's so obvious to, I think, everyone, that he doesn't have a Twitter manager or anything. Right. Oh, no.

Which I really. Right. She really respect because a lot of celebrities and, like, athletes and stuff. I know. It's so overmanaged. The other one I wanted to say was, when Old Town Road goes diamond, I'm sending all of my followers a copy of Phineas and Ferb season three on Blu-ray.

Which is just amazing. Also, I was just scrolling down, and he did, on May 25th, he posted two selfies, and he goes, my label allowed me to take off the cowboy hat this week. Yeah, that's hilarious. He's, like, really leaning into the fact that he has one single song. And he's, like, talking all about how his label wants. him to release new music and he just doesn't want to and he just keeps reposting different versions of the same fucking song.

It's great. We love it. We love one. My guy. Okay, now we're going to take a quick break for a sponsor. If you're a podcast and movie fan like I am, then you need to check out Luminary.

So it's seemingly normal. This is our usual Tea Times biggest relationship news ever. And we're also starting normal. We're just going to end a little weird. We're starting with Rudy Mara and Joaquin Phoenix because the way that news outlets are reporting this is so funny because their reps haven't confirmed that they're engaged. But they're like, she wears enormous diamond. ring on her ring finger for weeks straight. Wow.

And it's like, yeah. But they can't say that she's engaged. It's like potentially like, but true. Because they can't see it. Be exchanging vows in the future. Yeah. They were spotted earlier this week wearing a huge diamond ring. And then she was spotted wearing it again later that week.

This is from my friend, just Jared. Oh. My favorite detail of this is Rooney and the 44-year-old actor stepped out for an afternoon karate class. Karate class. Okay. Where she was seen wearing the ring again. Vegan couple.

I know. I was going to say that our favorite vegan couple. Yeah, they are 100% engaged. We can all admit it. They're not the type to like post on Instagram me and like, oh, right. If Rudy Mara is wearing a huge diamond ring to a karate class, she is engaged. She is engaged. Come on 100%.

Right. Speaking of weird couples. This is so important. We've talked about Kara Delveen and Ashley Benson previously on the pod. This weekend, the Daily Mail caught them taking a new furniture purchase into their house. it's a sex bench Mom, you can stop listening now smash that skip ahead button a few times

There are these pictures of them like giggling And carrying a leather sex bench Into their West Hollywood home on Tuesday It's called an extreme sex bench Oh an extreme Oh damn And I just real quick on a painting a picture of Liz Kelly Looking at these pictures

And trying to figure out what was happening on the box Because there are illustrations on the outside of the box Of how it's meant to be used and Liz literally had her lapar upside down, like at her desk trying to read and like look at these diagrams. We'll tweet out those photos. 100% we will. The diagrams are extremely confusing. It shows how it's meant to be used.

But you guys, when you see these pictures, not of me, hopefully look at the Ashley Benson and Caritil-Lavid pictures. The bench has like several legs that go out that aren't supporting the bench. It's like got 10 different things poking out. It kind of looks like a, like I kind of thought it was like a swing. It's got like a massage head. things where you could like rest your head on the, on facing downwards. Uh-huh. Well, it's very complicated. Yeah, it says that you can use it with like restraints or not. So, okay. Sure. Let's go there. Let's dig deeper. Listen, they are like laughing the whole time they're

bringing into their house. So I assume like they knew that people were taking their pictures. See, this was a conscious decision. For sure. Agreed. Because they knew it was going to generate news. Right. Yeah. Because also I will say they're very petite women, but like that box, unless the bench was heavy, did not take two people to carry it out of the car into the house. So it was obviously a stage photo op. They love just like fingers up to the paparazzi and people talking about it. Also real quick, this caption, The giggling girlfriends couldn't get the smiles off their faces as they carried the erotic item into their home

before staring into one another's eyes. What? God, that's so weird. We're setting the mood. Anyway. And guess what? That's it for that category. Okay, back to the hard-hitting news.

This is Tea Time Investigates. We're investigating Miley Saris because she has... Streaming hard hitting news. Yes. Because she has a new album called She Is Coming. Oh, She Is Coming is the album name? I thought she was just like, she is coming! That's what she was...

Yeah. Her promos have been really all over the place. She's doing a lot of the ASMR stuff with fruit. I hate that. It's annoying. She's gone back to the old Miley... Dead pets. Yeah.

And I'm really upset. I was going to say, how are you feeling? So we're investigating what version, what iteration of Miley Cyrus are we getting in this new album and can we expect for the next, I don't know, never lasts longer than 18 months. Right. And I am extremely afraid that she's going back to her like over-sexualized, like, rap-focused music. Yeah, that's the scariest part, I think. Right. Because she already debuted three songs from this album called Catatitude, Dream, and Mother's Daughter.

I listened to all three. Did you guys listen? No. But I have heard that nothing breaks like a hundred. heart song? Yeah, I think that'll be on it as well. That's a good song. So Catitude is a rap song.

The lyrics, I can't read all of them in good conscience. I'm going to just say. I just talked about a sex bench. That's true. So she keeps going like, I'm so nasty. And then the lyrics are, this cat is in heat. Let me ride that beat. My pee on fire.

Be fire. Well, I'm fired. Oh, my. Just look at the lyrics. Just look at them out. And she's rapping. That's the hardest. hard for me to wrap my head around. I don't know. Mike Will made it needs to stop interfering

with her life and let her go back to acoustic country when she belongs. Okay, no, no, no. I know you guys feel differently, but bangers is honestly one of the best albums of the past decades. See yourself out. Do you like that version of Miley, though? Well, it's a little obnoxious. Uh-huh. But the songs are really, they're bangers. Wow. Yeah. Nice. I did do that. I, This other song, Dream, it's like D-R-E-A-M, which her lyrics are... That's how you spell Dream. Listen up, I'm going to continue. It stands for drugs rule everything around me.

Oh, great. Which is her take on Wu-Ten Clan's cream, which is cash rules everything about me, which is a really iconic rap song, which like you, Miley Cyrus should not be like doing a nod to Wu-Tang Clan. Like, you're not supposed to do that. Yeah. Stay away. She already got in trouble for this. Yeah, she did.

The cultural appropriation is a huge problem with her. She was so misguided on... And she also addressed saying like, oh, that was just like a different part of me. Or she said something that was like borderline offensive and it was just like, what are you doing? To the like hip-hop rap community. And I cannot believe it has not been that much time.

Like she should have stayed in the Malibu lane. Actually, yesterday I was so upset. I was just watching her old like backyard sessions music and the Malibu album like just waving over her old self that I've already lost. This is really going through it. Honestly, you guys don't like any of these Banger's songs? I like Wrecking Ball.

I don't like Recky Ball. That's not even the best song in the album. I just don't like her persona. Do you guys think that she's going to fully embrace back to Bangers, Racking Ball, Dead Pet Stuff? I don't think Liam will let her. He's in these promos. She just tweeted a picture of him with the whole She's Coming theme, but she said, he came. Aye.

He's in on it. Okay. He's in on it, you guys. Just forget what I said. Tough. That's really tough. Oh my God. I'm not looking forward to this. Are you, Kate? I not particularly no. Not looking forward to the persona. Looking forward to the album.

Sure. Sure. We'll give her that. Sure. And then one of you guys wrote, is this to coincide with Taylor's new album? What's going on there? Well, yeah. I don't think we're getting Taylor this week, but there were rumors that we would. And Katie Perry is also dropping something tomorrow. What's going to come from Katie Perry? Who knows? She has a blonde wig in all of her, like a curly blonde wig and all of her photos. Katie, take a break. I know. But she has been taking a break. Hasn't she, like, with Orlando Bloom for the last year, she's just been kind of... Swish, Swish was like her last big thing, right? She's taking a longer break.

That's true. And I feel like we've argued this in the past. It's like, Katie, Pyrrude, just take a breather. Just take a lap. Come back when you have something that people will like. There you go. That's what it. That's it.

That's what it is. And now we're going to take another quick break to hear from our sponsors. Hiring used to be hard.

This is a weird, weird podcast. And once again, we have a lot in this category. This is not worth the tea. Amelia, start us off. Okay, so this morning, I got on Instagram, as we all do. Yeah. And I was met with a photo of William H. Macy, the actor, the noted character actor, husband of Felicity Huffman involved in the college bribery scandal.

And he has, he's holding balloons looking a little forlorn. And the balloons are for his daughter who's caught up in the scandal. And they say, congrats, grad. What? Yeah. They're for his younger daughter who's graduating high school. Oh, no, no. It's for his older daughter.

Is it? Because his older daughter's 18. His younger one is 17. Wait, is Olivia Jade the other one? Yeah, Olivia Jade is. I got, I'm sorry, I can't keep track of my... Olivia Jade is a very influential YouTuber. I forgot which daughter she was.

Lori Laughlin's daughter. Lori Laughlin's daughter. Okay, right. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. Holy crap. This picture is... It's my new favorite picture, honestly. It's so good.

Does he look happy in the picture? No. This is, look at... Look at him. He looks so sad. He's holding these balloons. Just, it looks rugged. Poulitzer.

He's like, you know, not using sunscreen. obviously. Well, that's a different problem. There's a lot of different problems to unpack. That's something completely different. Okay, next one, not worth the tea. Roblo, he is really obsessed with Prince William's baldness. I feel like every now and then Roblo decides to say some just random shit.

Parking in the news, bad. Listen to that pod later. To get in the news. And he was like, can we talk about William? I mean, the future king of your country let himself lose his own hair. Oh, my God. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. What?

I don't know. He was an interview with some British publication. And if he was trying to be charming, but it didn't come off. He literally said, the first glimmer that a single hair of mine was going to fall out, I was having stuff mainline into my fucking veins. Oh. And that's what I did for the next 30 years. Oh! Roblo does have a good head of hair.

Absolutely fire takes from Roblo. Yeah. Oh, my God. If you have to artificially create that, that means you can't comment. on those who are naturally Thank you. I was like he was made in front of Prince William for not making sure he didn't lose his hair

which is not... Also, you can lose her hair. Who cares? Also, he's royalty, Roblo. So like, what are you? Really? You know what I'm saying? No, but really though.

Yeah, really. Roblo sucks. That is definitely not worth the tea. Next thing? Men who also suck at Sheeran made some headlines because he said that he wanted to release an all-male version of Lady Marmalade

with Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber. He has since dialed this back after everyone online was like this is literally the last thing we want on planet Earth. On his Instagram, he was like, guys with a Z. Obviously an all-male... Oh, no, no, no.

Stop right there. Yikes. Obviously, an all-male lady marmalade would be completely dreadful. I didn't say I wanted to cover it, you melons. Just that loads of people on a track like that might be fun. Lighten up, it's nearly summer. Hashtag B.BQ for Life. Oh, my God. Wise words from Ed Shearing.

I hate Ed Shee. Who is he? Oh, my God. Your melons? Uh-huh. Also, just a real run for just tough looks for men that T-time doesn't love. Yeah. Today, Harrison Ford was in an interview talking about Indiana Jones, and he was asked who he wants to take on Indiana Jones when he's done with the role.

And Harrison Ford goes, nobody's going to be Indiana Jones. Don't you get it? I'm Indiana Jones. When I'm gone, he's gone. It's easy. And then he goes, this is a hell of a way to tell Chris Pine. Sorry, man. He obviously met Chris Pratt.

Oh, so good. That's tough. He's an icon. I love him now so much more than I did it. He just does not give a single fuck. Not one. Not a single one. But he's allowed to.

Oh, no, totally. If I was saying I'd be crapping all over these chrises that are all over the place. He's saying things that we want people to say. Yeah. You know? And you're just like straight in a T-time's vase. Man of the people, Harrison Ford. Absolutely.

Continuing this weird-ass category, Jessica Chastin got bit in the boob by a horse because she was on the streets of New York. Ow. She was there was around a horse-drawn carriage. She was super close up to it. She's like, right up in the horse. horse's business and she, this is all caught on camera. She goes, am I allowed to bet the horse, like, which is a great question, you should, that was like responsible of her. And then she goes, I don't want to do anything to get you upset talking to the man that was like manning

the horse. Another great question. Yeah. Consent is important. Taking all the precautions than this fucking horse literally does not care, bites her smack in the boob, which I was like, reading the headline, reading the article, I was like, yeah, that's not worth the tea, ha-ha. Then I watched the video. It's super not worth the tea because she remixed this video. What? And now the horse bites in the boobs seven times

it's set to music and it's like her new social media strategy she has like her own meme making team she's released like three videos on her Twitter lately

where like it's like these background moments that like she clearly is like trying to make go viral like she has like video interns now who are like turning these things around for her

wait can I share a little personal information Oh my God yes I love when you do this okay thank you I got an email like a few months back from the people

who run Will Smith's Instagram and YouTube pages. Wow. And they were like, hey, we were looking at your website. Would you be interested in, like, doing some content with us? Oh, my God. And I didn't even see the email because I never checked my regular email. And so it was like a month later. I was like, oh, hey, sorry.

Okay. Amelia, check your phone. I know. You can be Will Smith's assistant at this point. Now you're at tea time. I love tea time. So, like, yeah, they all have these people, right? It's run by a group called Westbrook, and if you go to the,

our Instagram page, Jessica Chastain follows them. So I think that they might be in it with Jessica Chastain. Because he has a, he does like those videos too where you can tell. Yep. It's like his content, but it's like meant to go viral. I mean, God bless her, but she is 42 years old. Like you can just post like a picture like any other, you know, celebrity of that age. Listen, I respect the big swing.

Sure. It was a big swing. It's a big swing. We'll keep an eye on it. Okay. Ending this category. Amelia, what's next? This is cursed.

All right. So I was, yeah, cursed with taking this category. or this little tidbit. Okay, so this week there was a whole meme going around on Twitter, and it was just one of, it's one of those things where it's like, name something, blah, blah, blah, you share it.

That's a phenomenal description. Thank you. The people at home are like, oh, that, yeah. Okay. Okay, so it's called Your Vigina is now named after the title of the last TV show you watched. What is it?

And, you know. I know you guys saw this going around. Yes, there were a bunch of of people doing this. There were. There were some really good celebrity ones. Whitney Cummings said the good place. That's a good one. Courtney Cox said Evil Genius. That's funny. Great. Lisa Kudrow. Anderson Cooper 360.

I love Lisa Kudrow. It was convenient because a lot of people had just watched fleabag. So that was the answer to a lot of them. Jenna Fisher said easy, which some people I was like, okay, you just picked a TV show that's fit. Just so you could like go viral. But yeah, that was, what was your guys like? What was the last show I watched? Killy Neve.

Oh, yeah, mine probably was too. Kaya? I watched the Society last night. That doesn't really make sense. Amelia, what's yours? Finish us off. Rupal's Drag Race. Okay, that's better.

That's way better. All right, last category of the day. This is T-Times was unanswerable question of the week. You guys, tweet us your answers, tweet us your thoughts about these questions. We're always puzzled. And we need feedback because we're just in this room. Seriously. We need feedback from the people.

At T-time underscore 33. Great. stuff. All right, Kate, I'm excited for this. This first topic, we, like, have been purposefully not learning about. It's been hard. It's been really hard to avoid anything about this.

So earlier in this week, I was like, does anyone know what Cliff Wife is in our chat? Because I had kept seeing it, and I kept seeing references to it, but I hadn't seen anything about what it is. And everyone was like, no, I don't know what Cliff Wife is. And then Kaya was like, I know what Cliff Wife is. So we're going to try to figure out, without any

context, what this fucking Cliff Wife thing is, and then Kaya's going to tell us if we're right or wrong. So all I've seen is people talking about, capital C, cliff, capital W, wife. Yeah. And I have no idea what it is. And in my continued dedication to this podcast, a group chat of mine was like, let's talk about Cliff Wife.

And I left that group chat because I am pure. So we're going around and saying what our idea of Cliff Wife is. Yeah. So my first thought was like Cliff Bars. Like that was my first. Clif Bar is like somebody who ate a lot of Cliff Bars. They should jump on that. I don't, they should.

If Cliff Bars has not gotten in on the Cliff Wife meme. Right. This is a free one. Yeah, they should. I don't know what it is, though. I believe this is my theory. Cliff wife is, you know, an Instagram boyfriend is like the boyfriend that takes pictures of his girlfriend all around town in front of the murals, whatever. Cliff wife is going to be a couple and a man tried to take a picture of his wife on a cliff and then she fell off the cliff and died.

Oh, wow. But do you think people would be making fun of it to this extent if somebody died? Maybe seriously injured? Perhaps not. Perhaps not. Because I also was like somebody must have fallen off a cliff. Yeah. But then I was like, if people are making fun of it, someone would stop. I feel like that's not what happened.

Or, you know, the curvy wife? The curvil wife is going to say that. Yeah. I think it's on the same vein. So, but what? What does a wife have to do with a cliff? I think maybe, to your point, I think he might, so it might be like some beautiful, like landscape.

And he has to climb on the cliff to take a nice picture of the wife. Oh, that's a good idea. That's a good one. Okay. So that's our theory is it something like Instagram based? And you're dying on the hill of it's about a cliff bark. Cliffbarm is just to be clear. That's my take.

Okay. Okay, Kyle, clear this up for us, please. Let me just premise this by saying, last weekend, over Memorial Day weekend, I was like, I'm going to take a break from Twitter this weekend. Nice. I deleted the app off my phone. Wow, huge. I lasted about, let's see, I deleted it Friday night. I lasted until Saturday afternoon.

Nice. Very good. And upon redownloading, I was hit with a bunch of Cliff Wife memes. And I was like, let me figure out what this is. So you guys are closest with curvy wife guy. So it's among the vein of like a guy who posts online about his wife, mostly for social media attention. So this guy, his name is Sean McBride. He's a YouTube celebrity.

Of course. Oh, my God. He said in a now deleted tweet, that's important. Shout out to the cut for aggregating this. I watched my wife fall off a cliff. Dot, dot, dot, dot. Oh my God. Your whole world can change in a matter of seconds.

Mine almost did. Almost? good reminder to be grateful for every moment of it, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, because you are here. Okay. So now I'm going to... So this was right. Oh my gosh.

I love where the tea time room has us riveted. I'm going to slack you guys a YouTube video. Oh, no! Oh my God, this is such a process. I want you guys to forward to eight minutes and ten seconds in. The title of this YouTube for those who aren't in our four-person Slack channel is Jenny fell off the trail. Scary moment for her. family. But Jenny fell off the trails in all caps. Indeed. So if you forward to eight minutes and

ten seconds in, you can see footage of Jenny. Oh my God. Oh my God. They're doing in slow motion. For those who are not watching this video currently. Oh my God. She found you up by the rocks. She kind of looks like, you know, when you've just had it with the day, you're like, I'm exhausted. I don't like doing this trail shit. And she just like collapses. Just bailed out. Holy smokes. So then what? The it went crazy because this is insane of him to talk about? Yeah, yeah, basically. And he made it sound so dramatic.

And it's like, okay, yeah, that looks like it sucks. Yeah. And we'll tweet out a link to the video so you guys can view this for yourself. But like, it's not a cliff. It's not a cliff. It's like five feet tall.

Oh my God. I want to rewatch this 4,000 times. Also, it's important to note the husband Cliff husband is holding the hand of this little bouncing toddler who's like skipping around this trail so I don't know how Jenny couldn't follow the path straight if this toddler's like hopping on one foot and can manage to do it. Wow so that's what Cliff wife is. This bitch just like falls and she's I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry this lovely woman just falls and she's just like I'm going down. Yeah she just

like let's go wow which is smart honestly I think that's better I mean when you're falling five feet maybe four and a half like it's better to just let it happen. Also I'm looking at a photo of her. She's young. So recovery time. Oh, yeah. She was right back. Yeah. Wow. Holy smokes. Wow. Kaya, thank you so much for taking it through that. We can only go downhill from here. But Amelia, what's your question?

Well, God, yeah. Jeez. So, the voice, which I don't know if anyone, well, other than our own mothers. Our own mothers. Freakin love the voice. And freaking love Adam Levine. I think we had this question. They might not love the voice anymore after this.

Because he's leaving, even though he is We're going upwards of $30 million for two seasons where he just has to sit in a chair and click a button. That's insane. He's also extremely good on the show. He's great on camera. He's got a good personality. It feels like a win-win for him. It's like such an easy lift. It's such an easy lift. And also I think, so they made changes to whatever season this is where it's like you weren't guaranteed. Coach wasn't guaranteed a person like one of their singers into the final round or whatever. And so none of his people made it into the finals And like 50 people from Blake's corner made it in And so he was just being very sullen They were at up fronts and he wasn't participating

And it was just like grow up Oh so he's actually salty There is evidence online And it's also kind of fishy to me Because like Blake Shelton tweeted and said Having a hard time wrapping my head around Adam Levine Not being at the voice anymore After 16 seasons that changed both our lives

I only found out about this yesterday And it hasn't set in on me yet gonna mess working with that idiot. However, he's being replaced by Gwen Stefani. Oh my God. Did Blake really find out about it after it happened? Of course not. Of course not.

And then they tapped Gwen Stefani. Yeah, actually, you're right. No, yeah, he did not. Because if Glenn knew, Blake knew. Yeah. And also, you can tell that this guy does not want to be there. And it's like, you would know if you're working alongside him every day that he's like, or even still as they're all negotiating contracts.

Right, exactly. of Gwen Stefani's team is working on this. He's not going to be like, oh, maybe we're adding another chair. They obviously had to negotiate with her to replace him. Yeah. So it couldn't have been that last minute. Also, does that, I feel kind of skeevy that he's replacing him. Like, yes, she's an absolute icon in her own right.

She's absolutely not identified as like Blake Shelton's girlfriend or partner. But like, it feels weird to like replace him with her. It is kind of. What's that dynamic? I don't know. I don't really want to watch that. It feels like Blake is taking over the entire show. Yeah.

He could be like Ryan's Secretist on American Idol soon and be like, hey, y'all. I am the host now. He essentially is. I will say that, so NBC also has another, like, music competition show, but it's called Songland, and I think it's about the songwriters. And Adam is executive producer on that show. Oh, yeah, too. Still, like being involved.

Aye, yeah, y. But, yeah, why? My question is, why, Adam? And what will our mothers do without you? Exactly. That's a more important question. We're finishing up with my question, which is, how many unanswered text should one person sent before getting the message. And I asked this because Diplo, God bless his soul,

we'll talk about him in depth after I asked my question, Instagramed a picture of him and Travis Scott. And it's a picture of the two of them and his caption is, Travis sees me after a festival and says, hey, let's make another song, me. What's your new number? Adds number. Text him next day. This is Diplo. Notices the number was saved and I already sent desperate looking texts to the same number 15 times over five years. Also, I looked dumb in this picture. Wait, over five years? Over five years, Diplo has been reaching out to Travis Scott and not answering. So then he posted also a screenshot of some of these texts.

It's so funny. It's iconic, like, hey, man, like, what's up? Like, I don't know if my phone's working or not. He goes, hey, what's up, bro, text me back. New text. It's Diplow. Think something might be wrong with my texts. Hit me back, new one.

You know, Trave, you must be super busy, L.O.L. I know how it goes. Anyway, hit my line, my guy. Oh, my God. Last one is, are you mad at me? That's iconic. Which is the best way to finish off an answer text. I don't send more than two without being like, you know what?

They just hate me, I guess, and I should just go beat Cliff Wife and jump off somewhere tall. Oh, my God. Oh, no. What is your guys' answer? How many texts would you send to a celebrity, if you were a fellow celebrity, and be like, you know what? They probably just don't want to hear from me again. Like max three. Yeah, you can't send more than I was going to say three.

You just got to tap out. Right? Or like, try other platforms. Yes. Oh, that's a good idea. Like there are a million ways you can get in touch with somebody. It stresses me out because whenever celebrities post screenshots of their messages, the little number in the upper left is like 716.

I know. It's like, God, like, fucking delete some of the text. So, like, get the whole idea of it being lost in a shuffle, but like five years, five years. 15 messages. That's a sign diplo? Yeah, maybe let that one go. Yeah, also I thought this was like over the course of like a couple months. No.

So if it's been five freaking years. He's been trying to hit that line for a long time. Yeah, it's time to move on. And before we end this cursed episode of T-Time, we got to talk one more thing about Diplo. Kaya, please turn your mic up. This came up talking about this series of questions and the screenshot and stuff. Two of Team T-time is pro-Diplo. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

We got to talk about the story, though, that brought us up. All right, go ahead. You can introduce this. Diplo, I'm trying to put this off as long as possible. Diplo livestreamed Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's wedding. And Joe Jonas went on Capitol Breakfast this week and said, he did ruin it. I love Diplo, but he loves his Graham more than a 13-year-old. He posts every five seconds.

He literally, like, live-streamed our wedding with dog face filters. So posting this into the tea time chat, re-sparked a discussion about Diplow that we've been having that I don't need to get into. Okay, I'm going to continue. Please. Two of Tea Time. thinks that Diplo is extremely hot. Okay.

Okay, extremely strong. Okay, sure, jump in. Defend yourselves. Extremely is strong. Listen, Kyre and I are slightly on team Diplo. Oh, slightly? Yeah. Okay.

You know what? Stumble more. That makes it that much better. I think Diplo is attractive and I won't apologize for it. Wow. Kaye coming in hot. I'm just going to just jump on the end of that and just say like kind of same. What?

I don't know. It's like just something about him. You guys are blushy. He's kind of like grungy hot, you know? And you shit on me for Pete Davidson? That's unacceptable. Diplow is hotter than Pete Davidson. I feel better about that comparison than I have anything else about Diplow.

Okay. People who are listening, you can weigh in. Amelia, Pete Davidson or Diplow. I'm going to go Pete Davidson. Yes. I'm sorry. Way in with your thoughts. Diplo versus Pete Davidson.

We're going to do a poll. Number one, Ben Affleck. Oh, my God. And with that, we're ending. Let's wrap this up. This has been tea time. Thank you producer, Kaya. And thank you guys for listening as always.

I'm Liz Kelly. I'm Kate Hallowell. And I'm Amelia Woodrow.
