Good morning, Millennials! Very exciting for the Mingos. They've never met anyone new. It was exciting. Exciting for me to really make this a real studio. I would say I would say I like, you know, got it all ready for you. But the last 24 hours have really been a clusterfuck around here. And I would say in your life, the last seven days has just been really something. Really something. So for those of us watching on YouTube and also everyone's been following along on your journey, and I feel like, you know, you can't be a internet user without talking about Shannon's hematoma. Yeah, no, it's, it's hemogate. It's hemogate. And I actually have makeup on it, but you can still

definitely see the giant bruise on the side of my face. So please, for those who know a little bit and, or those who don't know and are just watching and are saying like, what happened to Shannon? Can you tell us what happened to Shannon? Yeah, I can tell you what happened to Manon. So first of all, thank you for having me in your home as well. It's stunning. We're having a great time. We're having a great time. We'll get to it.

There's been so much trauma. It's never a dull moment. And you got here yesterday morning, like bright and early. Yeah, yeah. So we had the whole day together yesterday. We were having girly swirly good time. But the rest of the story is related to hematoma gait. So please take it from the top. I'll take it from the top. So I go in for a routine cavity

filling. No big deal. When was this? On Wednesday. I go in, I get a cavity filled. You know, I'm doing the adult thing. You find out you have a cavity, God forbid, you know, let's get it filled nice and easy. And actually the dentist that came in is not my usual dentist. She was like a young, gorgeous girl. I didn't think anything of it. You know what I mean? Like everyone is capable of filling cavity, of course. So, um, then I get my cavity filled. It was the most like lovely experience. It actually was pretty quick. Um, again, the dentist office is great. And so it was, it was very routine and quick, but when I got same practice, just a new doctor. Yeah. And so when I got my, um, shot of Novocaine because I'm a redhead and you'll get this, she was like, you're a natural

redhead. Do you normally need a little bit more Novocaine? Because very random and weird thing about redheads, we require more anesthesia. Um, there's something about it, like mutated gene inside of us, whatever. When I got my appendix taken out, they gave me more anesthesia, the whole nine yards wisdom teeth, same thing. So I was like, yeah. So she went in with the second shot of Novocaine, which this is why it wasn't painful to me at all. Cause I was already numbed. But the second shot of Novocaine, she gave me actually fun little thing. It hit an artery. So when that happens, which, um, I'll go ahead and put this out here. Now I've spoken to like so many dentists, like three very, very experienced, like, well, like, you know, well-known dentists. And they're like, this can happen. Like, this is like a freak accident,

but it can happen in the world of dentistry. It just like, doesn't like it might happen like once in a dentist career, but like her time, this was her time and my time to shine. She, she saw it happen for her first time and my first time today, uh, that day. So yeah, anyways, it basically instantly gave me what we now know to be as a hematoma. Um, the swelling has gone down a ton. Uh, it was like a golf ball. It was a golf ball in my mouth. And then it didn't bruise right away. But when I went back in the next day and spoke to, you know, both dentists at the practice, they were like, oh my gosh, like this is so rare. I'm like, that's me rare. So, um, they're like, but yeah, you have hematoma. So anyways, I was like super quick. I have a huge show coming up on Saturday. Always plug guys. If

you're in Nashville and you want to come to my show at the Nashville comedy fest, it's Saturday at 4 PM comedy queen. I'm so used to hosting with a comedian. Oh, you know what? Women in comedy. Love that show. But I, uh, yeah, I have this big show coming up. So I was like, so the swelling will be down by then. Right. And they were like, right. The swelling should be done, which they're correct. It's still a little swollen, but not anything unmanageable. But she was like, I'm going to be completely upfront and honest with you. Your bruise is only going to get like worse. And I was like, really? And then, yeah, as the time has gone on, I just have this massive bruise on my face. So I am just, you know, a medical anomaly and hematoma. It is nice that

I'm kind of someone that can just laugh about it because it is so insane that I just have this massive hematoma on the side of my face. No, I would be so enraged. You also explained like the technique like for injecting, like she did kind of skip a step, like she should have aerated to see if there was blood. Allegedly you're supposed to aspirate the needle to like see if you can aerate. I don't know. Maybe that one too.

It's medical. It's the University of Jackson. We're doctors. So it's the toast doctors. But yeah, I mean, yeah. Everyone that I did talk to, it was comforting because you know, when something like this happens, you just want to immediately place blame.

And all the dentists I talked to are like, look, she, this is not discredit anything she's done. I was like, okay. Okay. Cause you know, in this moment you want to find someone to blame and they're like, you're supposed to aspirate. But like, it is like just one of those things that could so rarely weirdly happen. And it happened to you. And my best friend was like, I almost said, I can't believe you're getting dental work before your show the week before your show. But I just thought you might've say like, it was just a routine feeling. And I'm like, I would have said that. I would have said never have thought that how's your cavity though. The cat again, I went back in the next day and me put like people pleasers, like stamp, like stamp it on my face. Cause I went in the next day and I was so worried

that Dennis was going to think I was like attacking her or something. So I was like, by the way, best feeling I've ever had in my life. Like I was like, you're too nice. Fantastic job. And she was like, okay. Um, but it, yeah, the cavity is fine. The feeling's great. Everything's, you know, looking good except for everything else, except for everything else. Well, not to make it about me, but I've been with you like all day and you know, we've run into people and I've heard this story a few times now. like seriously like I feel faint every like every time you say like the needle hit the artery like I'm woozy I can't I seriously can't even imagine like I I seriously feel for you well when you describe a hematoma which I never knew what that was it's either everyone's like Shannon has a

hematoma I'm like how do you guys all know what that is what is it I didn't I didn't but it's basically like a pool of blood so when the needle hit the artery, it pulled blood in my cheek, creating a hematoma. And then your body naturally swells instantly to like protect you. Oh, my God. So I'm like, that grosses me out, too. I'm like, oh, just a pool of blood in my cheek. But like, oh, it's seriously dizzying. And I'm not someone who's faint of heart for like needles or blood.

Like I'm not skittish or anything. But like every time you describe it, I have a full body reaction. Yeah. It is also like painful. So like, that's not fun. Right. But you know what this taught me? And maybe if you guys are any toasters that are getting married soon, I thought to myself, oh my gosh, the show, yes, is this weekend. And I'm gonna have a giant bruise on my face, but at least the show is like, it's not a, you know, beauty pageant. At least the show will go on. The show will go on and I can make a joke about it. You know what I mean? This is good news, but like I'm getting married this year. And what if I would have just been like doing the right thing before heading off to my wedding and being like, Oh, I'm going to go get my cavity filled.

So I have like a really enjoyable weekend without any kind of, you know, tooth pain. And then that would have happened. So like, you know, just really cavity fillings can sometimes not be as routine as you think. It's a great lesson to learn. I always ignore my cavities. I ignore all of my dental issues and I'm going to continue to do so. Yeah. I just, I just said next time I'm just going to be like, pull it. I feel justified in ignoring everything that's going on. Like my teeth always, they'll sometimes hurt. I'm like, it's time for cleaning. Yeah. Yeah. It's like my, my spidey signal signal my spidey signals are saying I'm a new canal yeah I should go in and now I'm gonna be a little more careful about

where I go to the dentist because I was getting a little willy-nilly there especially since I just moved I don't have a dentist down here yeah I only went once and I I kind of just like went right in the shopping center the shopping wow okay that's a bit rogue yeah yeah no so yeah not I'm just gonna you know double check I think it's like anything in life and again I just like don't want to completely like trash anyone's name because the practice is lovely and everyone's lovely like you hear of everything you can get a pedicure and you hear of some strange person fungal infection fungal infection from a routine pedicure and like god knows I'll get a pedicure anywhere oh my god

like if a man on the side of the street was like I sell water soda and give pedicures and like, God knows I'll get a pedicure anywhere. Oh my God. Like if a man on the side of the street was like, I sell water, soda and give pedicures, I'd be like, okay, yeah, I'll do it. Sure. Like, and so anything can happen anywhere. It's just one of those moments where you're like, oh my God, but me to me. Yeah. So then the second half of the drama, yes. Things like things were at bay with hematoma. Hematoma gate was relaxing. I was less swollen. She was quieting down. Everything was okay.

I'm at Jack's house. We're having a lovely time. I really had the most beautiful night yesterday with everyone. Liv came over. We just had a great time. Yeah. And then around nighttime, it was just me, you, and Zach, and we were hanging around the dinner table.

And I thought I had eaten. We were eating some gorgeous chips and guac, salty chips, salty chips. And I thought the chip might have nicked like the corner of my mouth. Cause I was like, ow, the corner of my mouth hurts. And then I was like, weird. And then I went to bed. Other side of your mouth, by the way, the other side, not the side of the hematoma. So I go to sleep. I obviously don't like cause a ruckus about maybe cutting the inside of my, you know, lip with the salty chip. And then I wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and I'm like, oh my God, my lip hurts so bad. And then, and then I go back to sleep. I put some like Aquaphor on it. I go back to sleep. I wake up, you guys, the entire, again, other side of

my mouth is covered in this like giant painful rash. And I'm like, excuse my French. If you have children in the car, what the fuck is going on? I'm also in someone else's home. You know, I'm in someone else's home that has children, young children. And I call my dermatologist. Thank God she answered. She was wonderful. And she's like, okay, so probably just a case of dermatitis, which is just stands for like rash, you know, irritated skin. And I'm like, right, right, right. But like pretty weird happened instantly overnight. She goes, so I am going to say just super quick, it could be shingles. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then I call a couple of their friends who are doctors, my sister-in-law's doctor, everyone was like, so could be shingles.

And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no so I do what I have to do and I like from the you know upstairs upstairs yeah I came out I'm like we're having breakfast I see Shannon at the top of the stairs like Rapunzel she's like uh not coming down explains to me the situation we're like shouting across the house and she's worried that she could have shingles which could give the kids chicken pox right so Shannon's now quarantined in my upstairs. Just sexy things. Just nursing her shingles. So we've since talked to, I'll give you guys, if you're watching on YouTube, I don't have

any makeup on it. So you can really see just like this giant rash on the other side of my face. Everyone's coming to the YouTube today. Everyone's coming. That's what I do now. They're like, we got to see Shannon's face. First of all, the YouTube views were through the roof uh because Shannon's face is fucked I'm so busted also you have to see Shannon's outfit like could you seriously no one's ever looked so nice on the toast especially with

the hematoma and dermatitis shingles shingles we're having a bit of a shingle scare which is like not sexy and also I've thought like only old old people got shingles like my grandma is a nurse and she was at my mom's house when I FaceTimed her and she was like, oh no. And I was like, oh, grams. Yeah. Where do you think I got shingles? We've since talked to a couple of doctors who think maybe it's not shingles and it really

is just dermatitis. I'm a medical mystery guys. Um, I don't know. But the shingles, I think people thought maybe it could be because the hematomas cause a lot of stress. Correct. In that area. Right. And that could be because the hematomas cause a lot of stress. Correct. In that area. Right.

And that could be. It should also be noted. Giving shingles. It's, first of all, it's giving shingles. It's giving shingles. So, so anyways, I should note as well that to fix the hematoma or kind of like help it heal faster, the dentist recommended that I go to this like hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Oh God, this part of the story, this is where it

gets really dark. Yeah. This is where maybe, this is maybe where the shingles stress came from because I went to this hyperbaric oxygen chamber that cost me like $200, but everyone around me was like, that really will benefit you immensely. So I go and get in this like chamber thing and I bring my notes for my show that I have coming up on Saturday at the teapack at 4 p.m. in Nashville. And where can everyone get tickets? Link in my bio on my Instagram, probably Shannon. But I- You're not going to want to miss this show, you guys.

I'm not going to miss this show. It's going to be one for the ages. So I bring my show notes, which are like written on coffee paper, of course. And I get into, because I assume you can't bring electronics into this hyperbaric oxygen chamber. It sounds like something NASA has. And the woman that works there is so's so nice. She was like, oh, did you want to bring your phone in? And I was like, oh, I didn't think I could. She was like,

oh no, you can. So like that conversation happened. Do you know what I mean? Oh, I didn't think I could. And she said, yeah, of course you can. I get in the oxygen chamber, bada bing, bada boom. It pressurizes to the level, breaks my phone indefinitely. Phone is so broken that Apple says we can't even, we'll give you a, you'll buy a new phone. No, they didn't give it to me. I bought a $1,200 new phone. And they were like, but we actually can't even activate it here. Like you have to go to Verizon. Your other phone is so broken. We can't transfer the SIM card. I'm like, perfect. So if this routine cavity filling has given me a broken phone, a hematoma and shingles, you know, that's just my cross to bear. At least your cavity is filled.

At least I have great dental health. You do. You really have great teeth and they can't take that away from you. No one can take that away from me, but all my teeth are fake. So at this point, maybe I should just pull them all and just get like, you know, a set of dentures. You get a cavity and a fake tooth. Yeah.

Cause my real tooth still back there. It was a molar. You know, that's how the, that's also, it should be noted that it was a cavity in a fake tooth? Yeah. Cause my real tooth still back there. It was a molar. You know, that's how the, that's also, it should be noted that it was a cavity. If any, uh, toasters that are like dentists are listening to this, it was my back molar. So that's, it is again, way more common to have that happen to an artery when you're giving Novocaine that far back. So again, to credit the good doctor accidents happen, freak Got it. Freak accidents do happen. Well, your teeth really do look great. So that is a plus.

I've got a Buick in my mouth, so they better fucking look good. No, literally. Claudia and I say like, we'll never be true stars until we have fake teeth. Because we have, we're just like rocking our kid teeth. Your kid teeth. You guys have great smiles. I feel like nobody who's like a big star has their real teeth still. I disagree. I think that people, it is such a flex to star has their real teeth still. I disagree. I think that people,

it is such a flex to have your actual real teeth and the sisterhood of y'all. Y'all all have the same smile. It would be a travesty. Yeah, and then one of us, like you would know. You would know. I just think real teeth are such a flex and are so beautiful.

And like, I really wish looking back, I like kind of would have just like rocked my real teeth. I mean, I'm really happy I have these gorgeous Hollywood teeth. I have to see a picture of your real teeth at some point. Okay. I'll show you. Okay. But yeah, nothing, nothing crazy was about them. But I think, I think having real teeth is like a cool thing. It gives character. Like I have no character to my teeth. You know what I mean?

Yeah. This is like a set of dentures that you would like, like if you Googled like on clip art, like teeth, this would pop up. You know what I mean? Yeah. I do know what you mean. But the good news is that since Shingles Gate of this morning, we've talked to some more people and I have to shout out again, hasty meds.com because when Shannon thought that she had shingles, she called up Racha from hasty meds and Racha was going to get you all the medication that you needed for, to treat your shingles instantly. And she was amazing. And honestly made me feel so comfortable on the phone.

Like, you know, bedside manner is like not a requirement that doctors are like meant to have, but it's really nice when they do. And she really just put me at ease. Yeah. And then she also took a look too. And they had an on-staff dermatologist who said that they think it's more of a dermatitis slash sun poisoning. Cause you were laying out in the sun yesterday while I was podcasting. Cause we've been just, you've been in Florida for so long. Just been in Florida. So now we're treating it as if it's not, but TBD on the shing. TBD on the shing. You'll keep them posted? I'll keep you guys posted, but like it's giving shingles.

It's not giving shingles. We don't know. Yeah, but I do, if I had to bet, like I would say it's not shingles and I feel comfortable with you coming out of quarantine. Like, I don't think you need to stay up here all day. Are you sure? Yeah, yeah. I could be Rapunzel if you want me to. No, it was later. I was bringing

Shannon, like leaving her coffee at the foot of the stairs. Zach brought me Vaseline. Cause we're just like putting Vaseline on it. Cause it's, you know, like feels like a very painful chapped lip kind of thing. And he like stuck at the bottom of the stair and like kind of scurried away. I was like, yeah, the good news is that I'm sure a lot of people listening to this episode will have thoughts like professional thoughts. Yeah. Drop a comment below of what you think's wrong with my face. She was laying out in the sun. The sun is strong here. The sun is strong here.

I checked the UV rays when I was out in the sun yesterday. It was a nine, but it should be noted that I did not have any sunscreen on and I was in the shade, in the sun, in the shade, in the sun. And I do not have any burn anywhere else on my body. But she was wearing Aquaphor on her lips when she was in the sun. That is also true. So it's been a journey. And I'm so glad that through all of it, like you're still here and we're still doing the toast. Cause they're like this morning when I was like, I don't want to give you chicken pox. Have you ever had it? Um, I was like,

Oh, like, can we even, I thought you were trying to say like, you couldn't even do the toast with me. I just, you never know. And I told my, I call my best friend and was like, Oh, Jackie's being so cool. Because like, you never know. Like, you are a mama. You have to protect your babies. You have to protect yourself, your home, your family. Brew. Even though the jury's out, it brewed gave me that. Shannon started to blame brew for this.

I kissed him on the mouth a lot. She thinks that it's brew. Can you believe? I think it's brew. Brew's slander and he can't even defend himself. I want to, I want someone to take accountability. And I need to blame someone and it's brew. Brew loves you so much. Brew's obsessed with me. He's so happy that you're here. I'm

obsessed with brew. Oh, I love that. Also like this is a redheads only podcast right now. It is Shannon Jacks, like redhead strong. I hope some young redhead girl is watching this episode and like realizing like, it's really awesome to be a redhead. Yeah, it is really awesome to be a redhead. And yesterday when we were in the golf cart, we were taking a little golf cart ride on our easy go. Um, I was like, people are probably looking at us being like, look at those two sisters. Totally. More so than when I'm out on the golf cart with my actual sister. A hundred percent. Yeah. A hundred percent. It's totally, I have a relative in town. Yeah. Everyone's like, look at her like sister or cousin just visiting and just having good family time. Yeah. It's so true. Sister shingles. It's giving

sisterhood. Sorry, Turdy. I know she's probably listening. We miss you, but we're having a great time. We do miss you, but we are having a fabulous time. It'd be great if you were here too. It would be, it would be, but yeah, no, I try not like, I tried to take everything like all the drama and like, not let myself get crazy. Like, I don't think that solves anything. I could try to be level-headed, like look at the facts. What do we know? Right. And yeah. Plus you were upstairs all morning. It's actually worked out that you stayed up here. Yeah. True. So it was just very well within your right to like, be like, get it on a jet plane and you're going home and I'm calling Claude and she's coming out of the toast again. So I, you were very lovely and very kind to me in a time

of turmoil. Thank you. Well, you're a lovely, kind, and very helpful house guest. Oh. We cooked dinner together last night. We did. Shannon on the mashed potatoes. You were giving feminine Shannon, though. Oh. Except for when you opened my umbrella.

That was Manon. That was. It's a huge umbrella. Costco. Like, as it was opening, I thought, this is crazy. Yeah. How does she, why does she have two? Because we don't have any shade out there.

So if we ever want to create like a shady area. I see. It's not just like a one person umbrella. It like shades the whole area. Well, they were fantastic, but large. Shout out Costco. Fantastic, but large. That's their motto.

I think it should be. Yeah. Are you a Costco girl? I dip in and out, you know, I'm a member. And then I like my membership expires. And then I like, can't believe I don't have membership. It's like, it's like, it's love, hate. It's no, I just like, forget about it. And then I'm like, who could possibly need a box of cheese? It's that big. Like, it's just me and James at home. You know what I mean? Like,

I'm like, this is crazy. This is wasteful even. And then like someone I'll see on Instagram, someone's like at Costco and I'm like, oh my gosh, I've got to go to Costco. Yeah. I want to go to Costco. It's always Instagram that reels you in. Yeah. And then I go and like your membership's expired. I'm like, oh, run it up. Yeah.

Do it. My sister Olivia and her husband are like Costco ambassadors. Yeah. We dabble. It's like Soho House to me. It's like you're like when you see someone's there and you're not there, you want to be there. Yeah. But then like when you have the membership, you're like, this isn't even that cool.

Literally solo house. Yeah. Now that I've canceled, I can finally say it. Taylor just canceled hers too. Yeah. Like five years too late. I haven't been in forever. Yep.

But I'm free. You're free. Well, I'm so glad that you're here. And aside from the hematoma and the potential shingles, you have a lot going on in your life right now. Yeah. Bride to be. Bride to be. Enfiance. Enfiance. How's wedding planning going? Not to trigger you, but that would probably

be my least favorite question on the planet. No, you know, it's fine. I'm honestly like, I don't have a wedding planner, whichever one is like a gasp at that, but we're getting married in Positano, Italy, which is like really. I'm a brag. Listen, he's European. He moved to America for me. He's, but I was like, twist my arm. Sure. I'll get married in Italy. Um, but yeah, we, I've always wanted to get married in Italy anyways. And then he was like, I love the idea, whatever. It's, you know, it's just crazy. Cause for all of his friends and family, like mine are like taking a week off of work, which is like very a daunting thing for me. Cause I hate to like make people spend money and like take a week off of work. But, um, his friends are just coming in like the day of, because it's a,

it's like a flight to Florida for them. You know, it's so quick and easy because they all just live. That's when you're European, everything's just like a hop and a skip and a jump. But I'm hoping I'm not putting that much emphasis on like the, the things around because like the atmosphere is going to be so beautiful, the location is so beautiful. I like, I'm not super stressed about the things that I feel like a lot of brides get really stressed about. Like material items. Yeah. Yeah. Like the napkins to this, to that, like, um, and also in America, a lot of American weddings, you have to, you get like a grand space, like a warehouse that you have to then make beautiful. And so there are so many

things that play there. Whereas for me, I'm like, Oh my God, everyone just look around. Yeah. Look around. It's so pretty here and look, we're in love. And I just hope people feel the love of the day. And I'm trying not to stress out too much about like, you know, like name plate settings and stuff like that. That it seems like you have a pretty healthy attitude about it. How does it work when you're, do you have to speak Italian to vendors that you're working with? Does James speak Italian? I learned Italian this year too. No, I'm kidding. Oh my God. I was like, she does it all. She opens the umbrella. She learns Italian. They all basically speak English that are like helping us out with stuff. But the time is what's hard. Like I actually just got a

text today from, um, our, the, the venue we're, we're having like a meeting with them about like something with, to do with the venue. And she was like, so 4.00 PM Italian time, 9.00 AM your time. And then they have an off season. And so like it was off season in the winter when we were having a lot of conversations with them about stuff like reception and everything. And they were all like visiting Bali and places during their off season. And we were, James and I were like staying awake to like midnight. One time we set an alarm to call someone at three in the morning to have a conversation with them because the only time they could talk was like nine their time. It was, that's like, what's been difficult.

Yeah. The time zone. But it's been fun and easy and not easy, but just like nice. Yeah. And you're enjoying yourself. It's exciting. I haven't gotten flustered or frustrated yet. And for those of you that do think I'm crazy, we do have a day of coordinator. So like the day

of the wedding, we'll have someone like telling people where to go for cocktail hour and like helping with stuff. Beautiful. I just, yeah, I just took the reins and planned so much that by the time it was all said and done, I was like, do I even need a planner? Yeah. I feel like you're on top of things. Yeah. Your productivity levels are through the roof. That's like something that I really admire about you. Thanks. I feel like I've said that of things. Yeah. Your productivity levels are through the roof. That's like something that I really admire about you. Thanks, Jax. I feel like I've said that to you so many times. Like you just get shit done.

Well, I don't have kids or a pet or anything else. I feel like you will still get shit done. I feel like you actually get more shit done when you have kids because I get so much shit done now that I have kids. But before I had kids, I was a lazy slob. Lazy slob. I mean, sometimes I do get in like TikTok holes and I'll sit there for hours, but okay. I like that. I accept, I accept the title of. Accept the compliment. I will. No caveats. No caveats. Productivity queen. Productivity

queen. Love that. And then also you have your podcast going on, which is very exciting. Yeah. I'm in a little break right now. So it's nice. Sometimes I get to a point where I'm talking so much. Well, you guys have a podcast every day, but sometimes I get into this like beep, beep, beep, bop, bop. I have nothing to say. And so it's nice when you take a break

because you come back like creatively refreshed and energized. And it's nice. So my podcast starts back in April. I feel the same when we do take a break. Like we have so much juice. Right, exactly. Yeah. And you have your new house. The house is housing. The house is housing. How's being a homeowner? Um, overall like wonderful and terrible. Do you know what I mean? It's like you're responsible

for so many things and like growing up, like you, you now understand your parents, like when things happen, it's like a big deal. And like I've rented for so long because I just like, wasn't sure where I wanted to end up living. And then I did end up staying in like Nashville area, Franklin and brew is just snoring away. Yeah. That's Bruno snoring. If you hear it adorable. Um, but it's like things happen and it's your responsibility. Like no one else, your landlord's not going to fix it. Like your dad's not going to fix it. Like you have to do it. And then James is from London. Bless his cotton socks.

As they say that, they say that instead of bless your heart, like, Oh, bless your cotton socks. And he has never had grass in his life. And like, I'm just a girl. So I don't know what to do with lawns. Yeah. Like I don't do that. And so like we really put that off and now it's like spring and everyone's lawn in the neighborhood's looking gorgeous and ours looks like a piece of shit and you need to do it like

mow it and stuff yeah i guess we i didn't see him on a mower we had we had um like landscapers during the spring and summer and then when winter came we weren't aware that like you had to you have to keep it up you keep it up we're like oh there's no sunshine and grass so it doesn't matter i know everyone's lawns are gorgeous and ours are like covered in clo, you have to keep it up. You keep it up. We're like, Oh, there's no sunshine and grass. So it doesn't matter. I know everyone's lawns are gorgeous. And ours are like covered in clovers and have like patches. And we have an HOA, you know, we're in a neighborhood. So like, we're going to get in trouble, I think. So we had to hire someone that was like, came in and gave us like, you know, the, like a stern talking to, and I was like, sir, I'm just a girl. Right. And James was like, I'm from London. I'm just a Brit. I'm just a Brit. I James was like I'm from London I'm just a Brit I'm just a Brit I don't know two of you I can't so like that was that's like one of those things where I'm like

dang it's our responsibility the tailor didn't tell you like Taylor's lawn's also not like thriving like sorry to throw some shade but like they don't really have an excuse and her lawn's not thriving either so we both just look busted together that is so Well, at least your next door neighbor's not mad about it. Yeah, no, they're not. They're being really nice. So you have to only worry about neighbors on one side because Shannon lives next to her best friend, which is life goals.

Yeah, yeah. It is actually the best thing that's ever happened to me in my entire universe. And if we were ever to move away from each other, I don't know what we'd do. No, you're really spoiled. No, I am. Do you guys plan to live like next,

near each other for the rest of your lives? You know, we want to do the thing everyone talks about where you like have a commune, you know, you just like get some land, build houses far away from each other, but still on the same property, a little, little dirt ride tracks. Like we want to do that, but like, you know, land ain't cheap, but down the road. No, that's goals here as well. At Toast HQ. Toast HQ. We just want to buy dirt. That's what we want to do. Well, at Toast HQ. Toast HQ.

We just want to buy dirt. That's what we want to do. I'm the one you can't live without. Taylor. Get a ring, hit your knee with the ground. Do what you love and call it work. Throw a little money in the plate at church. I love that song.

Me too. It's a great song. Shouts out Jordan Davis. Shouts out Luke Bryan. Yeah, I think it won all the awards too. I think so. That it deserved. Agreed.

You love to see worthy things winning. So we have a great show for you today obviously we have the fast five we're gonna dip into a little bit of some stories from yesterday because there are some updates and I also like I need to talk with you about some things that were discussed because Coachella weekend one took place there was a good amount of news and I feel like there's still more to break down plus there's some new news so we're gonna get back into it new news okay yeah. I want to go to Coachella this year. Well, I know I did it every day this week. I'm going to ask every guest co-host why they didn't go to Coachella, what their thoughts are on Coachella and how many times they've been to Coachella. I've been to Coachella twice. Once, um, I had like the worst luck ever with travel and like

all our flights are canceled for like three days. We got stuck in Chicago. We went there the last day. So like that was fun, but I think it was just so fun because we finally made it. We got to go to one day and we were only there for one day. What year was it? 2019. Oh, I wasn't there that year. I was there that year. You were. Who was performing? Ariana Grande. Yeah. Is that, is that what were who was performing Ariana Grande yeah is that is that what it was 2019 Ariana Grande yeah it was it was fun it was really fun and then we got there on Sunday you didn't see me we were at Coachella no I know but like you know like Revolve it gets small I wasn't I wasn't at Revolve Fest or anything like that I didn't have any like you know didn't

didn't have any clout just went as a guest as a just a bought tickets to Coachella that's why it was also so devastating I spent so much money yeah like, you know, I wasn't going there for free and we missed all the days except for Sunday. Got it. I think we probably left on Sunday. You didn't see Ariana perform. I don't know. I don't have a memory of her performing. Then he didn't see her. You remember everything. You're an elephant. You know, Claudia, she like loves to skip town as soon as she can wake up. Wake up Sunday morning. We're out of here. But they usually put the like biggest artists on Sunday so that people don't do that. Actually, I don't think we did that because we drove to L.A.

We were L.A. swirlies. And then we went to Vegas. You're crazy. It's crazy what you went to Coachella and then Vegas. I was just about to compare Coachella to Vegas and be like, you're really only need to be there for two days. Yeah. And then that was also the weekend of like Game of Thrones, like a final episode,

like a second to last episode. So we were like trying to watch Game of Thrones, like in the car, avoiding spoilers on the way to LA. What a trying time for all of you. And I mean, Claudia and I get separate hotel rooms. Cause I was just like, I think I'm going to need space. And in hindsight, like that was weird. That is really weird. She hates being in a hotel room by herself. That is really weird. I don't like being in a hotel room by myself. I just, I thought we were going to have like a chaotic, like Coachella and then LA, we'd have like our own rooms. And then in Vegas, we shared a room again. I just thought I would like need a break, not from her, but just like to be by myself. And in hindsight, I'm sorry, Claudia, we should have shared a room that time at the Montreon. Yeah.

It's giving mean sister, mean big sister. It's giving like's giving like bully people Claudia's in her room like quivering yeah and you're just like sitting there like could have could have not whatever that is so funny so yeah good times good times to say I went to Coachella one other time was it two years ago last yes recently I remember the looks were looking yeah I did that were you know like ashley's chaps did the whole thing it's I am I allowed to say I took a drug on the toast or do we have to crop this up? No, you could take a drug. Yeah. I took a drug and I didn't, you know, I'm, I'm the kind of person that shouldn't take drugs because like, I don't like to not be in control, but I insist on trying every drug just at least once or twice. And then I have to tell myself like, you took the drug,

you want to be on the drug, you like the drug, but like, I don't like the drug. Yeah. And so I just like, it was just terrible. I got like locked in a porta potty it was it was traumatizing damn yeah I know so are you done are your Coachella days over could you see yourself going back I like I did stagecoach with Claude last year and that was so much fun with Claude and Margot and everyone was it was so. But the, the only reason I found it was more fun was because we, we really like just splurged on that driver. And I don't like the process of getting to Coachella or stage coach. Like it is a whole dusty, like incredibly long, you're wearing boots. Like I now know to wear comfortable shoes, but like, it's just not that part is so just not fun for me

and it kind of like puts a damper on the experience so um for those reasons I liked stagecoach last year because we had a driver that like pulled us right up to like the spot that you kind of just like boom walked right into the festival yeah um I don't know I'm not I'm only pulled to Cotella if there was a lineup that I like couldn't deny, you know, this year I was like, I don't care about this lineup or whatever. Aside from country music, who do you like? Oh, I like, I'm like a big rap girly. Love, love, love hip hop and rap. Okay. So if there was a headliner there for you, yeah, I would go. Okay. Yeah. So maybe like we'll see TBD and like the outfits are always fun. But then again, it is one of those things where like, you just feel like you have to get the coolest outfits. I did see though, Coachella fashion this year. I saw a lot of people doing

like anti Coachella looks like more pared down, not even like just straight up, like black t-shirt shorts and like, like tennis shoes, like, like girls straight up being like, I am not like, like famous people, like Kendall Jenner, like Haley. I saw them in like outfits that you were just like, wait, what? Like, this is not like giving Coachella. But then of course you're like, oh my God, like now giving Coachella like means something different. Right. I don't know.

And I'm like, yeah, maybe if it got, it just gets really like, kind of like, I keep using the word daunting, but like knowing that you have to like get all the fits and then like compare yourself to other people in the fits or God forbid, have the same fit as someone else. And then when you mix in all of the like revolve fest, all of this sounds like a, like privileged little biatch, but like, it's just like, it's a, it's a lot of like girl stuff that you're like, ah, it's like dog eat dog out there. Dog eat dog world. And like who has the most rhinestones on their eyelids? I don't know. I've got hooded eyes. I can't compete. Got it. But you can, I do. And you do. Okay. Well,

Everyone I've gotten a skylight frame for loves it so much it's a never

flop gift so especially this time of year gifting season make it a skylight frame i love a skylight frame y'all for my grandma i love our first story is some taylor swift ex coachella news we talked about yesterday how she was with Travis at Coachella in the podcast hat. He's picking her up. She's taking pictures with Teresa Eudice. Like it was a lot. Then some hysterical news came out.

So Taylor Swift went to the Neon Carnival after party on Saturday night at Coachella and a video has emerged of her jamming out to the DJ set. The DJ being DJ James Kennedy. Let that sink in. And in the video, she's listening to a remix of her own song, Cruel Summer. And it sounds like the normal song. Then all of a sudden, like the beat like starts like fricca fricca-ing.

And she's a bit taken aback. I mean, it's hard to know what she's thinking, but based on the video and also the song itself, like it wasn't my personal favorite remix yeah I mean first of all the like Bravo crossover between Taylor Swift right now is just like it's really doing something special to my heart just like knowing that it was James Kennedy after she was just seen with Teresa is just like really I just love that and I love James and he really deserves to have Taylor Swift like listen to a James Kennedy original remix of his song oh I couldn't agree less oh you don't like him no I just don't think he his DJing deserves

Taylor Swift she was dated Calvin Harris for so long she's probably like what the is this no I think that's what makes it so iconic and you just know like he's never gonna let this go ever we'll be hearing about it on the next season like Taylor Swift listen to my song and I love that for him. I have a soft spot in my heart for him. Okay. And his DJing career. Oh, for his career as well.

He went to see DJ James Kennedy perform at a club in the city. It was Margo's birthday. So we like got a table at a club and he was the performer. Okay. And we had a ball. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah.

But you guys, the bar is low for y'all. You guys, if you guys have music and the swirlies together, you're having a ball. It's really true. But I have to say like the music was pretty good. I'm just a little bummed that this remix, like there's that remix going around of love story. Yeah. Yeah. She loves it. Dance was going to say there's a video of her in Vegas dancing to that. And what he did to her song cruelel Summer, like it was not that. He pressed like a button on a thing. It was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Like it wasn't, it wasn't like a thoughtful remix.

It wasn't thoughtful. That's, I agree. I agree. Maybe he knew Taylor was there. He wanted to like play her song. He didn't have something prepared. Right. So he just hit the fricca fricca button.

Yes, he just hit the fricca fricca button. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, her face, I don't think you were like, it's hard to see what she's thinking. But like, I think it's easy. It's clear to see what she was thinking. Like, I don't think she was obsessed. No, she wasn't obsessed.

Yeah. But I hope that doesn't let, it doesn't affect James and his confidence. I think nothing could affect him and his confidence literally ever. Literally ever. I can't wait to see how they talk about it on Vanderpump. Because for sure, they'll like color correct the footage. And like, cause it's like a really blurry video footage of her and they'll somehow like make it. Yeah. Really good. Hysterical. So what did you think of tailored and Travis at Coachella? I mean, I just think it's iconic. I think it's so cool that she's

just like out and about like she, we saw her hidden for so long and I'm sure you guys talk about this all the time on the toast, but like, she is just like living her unscared truth. Like, and he is just the way he's so like handsy with her. He's always like picking her up and grabbing her. He just is like your quintessential, like football dude. And like, it's just really funny to see this, like, like Taylor Swift in that world with him. And she obviously like is obsessed with it.

You know what I mean? And I just think going to Coachella is giving us all everything that we they're doing it for us. You know what I mean? They didn't go to Coachella because they wanted to listen to music. They were like, everyone will love that we're at Coachella and that's really sweet of them to do for us. But do you think it's near impossible, especially at a place like Coachella where everyone has their phones, there's no semblance of privacy. Even like the VIP pit is in the middle of the concert. Like everybody's looking at you. Like how do you function? How do you even like, I'm sure at a certain point,

you just have to like put it all out of your head. But like, how can you even actually do that? I think she's probably so used to it. You know what I mean? They don't do anything. She can't go out without people knowing who she is. So like. You don't think every move she makes,

she's just like aware that people are watching and that like, it's going to be. She probably just exists like that now. Yeah. You know what I mean? She's probably just like existing. probably just exists like that now. Yeah. What I mean? She's probably just like existing. Doesn't that affect your ability to like be real human though? Probably, but she stopped being a real human a long time ago.

Yeah, that's true. So yeah, I'm sure she just like is, I would as a celebrity be just so stressed out about the lip reading of it all now. Yeah. That would just like really put a damper on my parade. I think for me I would be stressed out like if I'm not actively talking or actively smiling like I might look angry or miz when I'm not I'm just like a quiet pensive person I feel like I would get in my head about

like what my face looks like when I'm not doing anything yeah yeah so you'd always be needing to do something maybe that's why I'm always talking I look kind of busted but I'm not like talking or just I'm just like yeah I'm always just like looking out the window like nothing like nothing going much going on I'm not angry but I might look angry right and you'd be worried about that yeah but then it could just be like the pensive cool girl that's always got like a chip on her shoulder you know but then they say like that's always how I feel like JLo and Ben Affleck are always caught out like that like looking miserable they're in a fight or something yeah I don't think that they I think they are very happy together and they're not always

fighting. Well, he's like brought it up now. I think he's addressed it and said like this, he did like a bit like on SNL or a Duncan commercial or something where he was like, this is my face. He's like, I'm ecstatic right now. Like he, like that, he made fun of himself. Yeah. He's like, sorry, this is what I look like. When we see those pics, like it's not a red flag to me. I'm like, they're just like being normal people. Yeah, that's just existing people that's existing existing that's like when Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk went to Wimbledon have you seen those pictures and they seriously look like they're in a fight and they actually might be in a fight and they didn't work out so like they probably were fighting but like Claudia and I always say normalize fighting in public like yeah yeah like fight like no like

fight with your everyone you're allowed to be mad sometimes yeah yeah that's that's true actually I I've yeah I agree yeah I I agree. Yeah. I might just pick a fight with James just to like, kind of test it out. Just to normalize it. Just so people can like feel more comfortable around us. Oh, maybe I shouldn't though. Not a screaming match, but like you're not happy all the time. You're not happy all the time. Yeah. I'm not happy right now with my face. Right. Maybe I'll just pick a fight with him about that. Yeah. That in no way is it his fault. No. Oh yeah, you're right. And like now that I could TBD have shingles,

like maybe he's going to be like, you just can't be near me. Oh damn. It is really contagious if it is shingles, yeah? Yeah, but it's like, everyone says if you have shingles, like you could give someone chicken pox, but if they already had chicken pox,

you can give them shingles. And if it's the same thing, then why don't we just keep calling it chicken pox? Agreed. It's like adult chicken pox. So chicken pox. So chicken pox you can give them shingles and if it's the same thing then why don't we just keep calling the chicken pox agreed it's like adult chicken pox so chicken pox so chicken pox and then you just get like the the icky scratchy icky scratchy source and is it worse it's chicken pox worse for adults is that why it shingles yes chicken pox is way worse for adults sorry bringing it back to me bringing it back to the shingles sitting here can you not? Sitting here like might have shingles. How are we not talking about it?

When you were doing your ads, I was looking at myself on my camera as one does. And I was like, Jesus, that is just. It's really like from where I'm sitting, it's not so bad. Okay. It's not so bad. All right. And you otherwise like look great. Thank you.

Okay. Seriously. Okay, okay, okay. I'll get out of my head. Our next story is an exciting news update from one of my favorite developing stories this year i don't think you're gonna guess what it is but it's megan marco's lifestyle brand american riviera orchard it has debuted its first product so have you heard she's launching a lifestyle brand no but it's giving she by charie it's giving

what we keep saying it's giving like joannaaines Magnolia, Magnolia Table. Oh, oh, oh. So it's called American Riviera Orchard and it's going to be like, it's a lifestyle brand. It's going to be a cooking show. It's going to be like consumer goods. It's going to be everything. But wait, bit of a mouthful. America Riviera Orchard. So the name is not my favorite. That's like, like who reads that?

It's just like long, like America Riviera Orchard. We said a very global couple right america just really putting them again right ostracized from the old brits right right maybe they're trying to like double down on american tings but i don't think that they that they should or that they need to like they're so global that use that yeah they're also not giving like the most patriotic couple so they shouldn't really really need to put America in the name. Right, right. I totally like the place where they live is called the American Riviera.

But like, OK, OK, no, but like so you're not the mayor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. I don't know. OK, so what? So it's got a launch date. So their first product has debuted and it's rustic jars of fresh jam sorry she's selling jam so her friends flocked to social media on monday to share photos of the fruit preserves

stamped with the company's name and logo wrapped in decorative neutral cloth and string bow so like this was the pr gifting she's selling jam okay it was 50 50 jars do we know the price of a jar of rustic jam no i don't even think like the people can buy it yet but like she's getting people interested and excited do we know the difference in regular jam and rustic jam probably like preservatives and things like also the brand is giving homesteading of it i feel like she is kind of giving child wife it's capitalizing like on this trend of back to our roots which i think is smart because there's a lot of interest in that right now right right yeah yeah there is making her own jam yeah she's just well she's not making the jam but she's thinking that people might want some rustic jam yeah i love

a good jam i'm obsessed with jam. Personally. And I love a honey too. Love honey as well. I actually, one could say I might love jams and jellies too much. I have so many in my house. Jam and bread is just like the best. I feel like that's probably where you and James's Venn diagram crosses over. Like as a British thing, like I feel like they like jam. They do. They do love jams. And like, um, what's that thing they have they have uh it's not an english muffin it's a biscuit no crumpet crumpet love a crumpet you and james are kind of like megan and harry has anyone pointed this out no no mostly just because you're american and he's british but i think that's enough but i think the red hair is also in the mix coming into. Um, yeah. And then like,

I stole him from London and was like, we'll live here now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Except for our families love us. There's no,

there's no, there's no drama. No drama. Yet. Yet. So do you, as like a, he does have a brother named William as a transcontinental couple as well.

Do you feel simpatico with Megan and Harry? Have you ever even thought about the similarities? No, I've never really felt close to them. I could see you selling your jam wares. You know, you're kind of a lifestyle brand. Maybe I could go into that. Maybe I could be her competitor. She needs a competitor. Maybe it would even help both of us if she had someone kind of just like edging in on her jam sphere. Yeah. Shake things up. Just to shake things up. Wow. You guys are the same. Cool. You guys are like the influencer, Megan and Harry. Literally twins. Literally twins. We're twins. Well, overall, I'm here for ARO and I look forward to seeing what it does and what she does. It is giving, like you said, Magnolia.

Yeah, like I think she's going to have her cooking show and then she'll sell the pots and pans and then she'll sell the jams and say, like, I made these things. Is she super popular in America? That's a loaded question. She's not super popular. She's not popular over there. Over there.

That I know to be true. It's hard to know because I feel like American media really likes them and likes her and yeah I think they're all very excited by the fact that like you know these are royals who will sit down and give an interview on the red carpet like it's crazy it is crazy but the American people I don't know what the consensus is right right it is it is crazy because like we loved to be a part of it. Like when we had an American go over there and marry him, we were like, Oh my God, stop. We have the end we're we're in. We love it. And then like, they brought them back here.

They brought themselves back here and we're like, Oh no, but now it's not, now you're just back in America. Go back over there. And we want to be a part of it there. Like, I feel like that might be like where people stand. And I think also people, Americans are put off by the airing of the dirty laundry. Yeah, I could see that. I think, you know, most people like our family people, they would never do that. I think that's turned a lot of people off.

Fair, fair enough to say, yeah, I could see that. And then also I feel like, you know, until they've tried their hand at a lot of things that haven't been successful. So many many things and it's giving grift and people are like starting to like smell that however I think this one but the jams are gonna do it for you I think aro which is also what's crazy is she used to have a lifestyle blog when she was on suits before she met Harry she had a blog called the tig for it stood for the it girl and it was just like early lifestyle tings okay and this is kind of going back to that i feel like she can really like she could have success this and this could be the thing but i i

wonder if it's like too late because you know there was the podcast there was a documentary she's got the look for what she's going for yeah like i would buy into it like had i not known anything else about her if i saw her she's it's. Yeah. Like I would buy into it. Like had I not known anything else about her, if I saw her, she's, it's giving Joanna Gaines in the sense that like I would, she just looks like so naturally beautiful and rustic. And I can see her like at home with her kids and they have chickens. Oh, well, who doesn't? Me. Yeah.

Not. I don't think I recently learned that I can't have chickens in my county. Of course you can't. What do you mean? People have backyard chickens all the time. But yeah, you can live in like a area that I would assume like, like in my HOA, they're like no chickens. They say no chickens.

I feel like you and Taylor would have had a joint coop if you could. We would. We would have had a coo and a coop. You need a coo. A coo. But it's, but yeah, it's like a lot of, I think people are having to implement more strictly no chickens. Yeah. Like it's not been an issue. It's like, yeah, it's like a lot of, I think people are having to implement more strictly no chickens. Yeah.

Like it's not been an issue. Yeah. You can't have chickens. You can't have a crocodile. Everyone's like, run it back. We need to put it in bold at the top. No chickens allowed in the neighborhood. That is so funny.

But do you have the chicken itch? I've got the itch for chickens. Yeah, me too. Just, you know, the price of eggs these days, blimey. It's staggering. The price to make a boot we actually we were grocery shopping yesterday and we saw uh eggs and we totally got sold on them even though i eventually saw they were from wisconsin lol but the the eggs

are in like a clear container and they're all different colored eggs which is what eggs look like when you get them fresh from the farm right but like i literally think they've all been painted to look like that but they got me finally, I haven't bought different eggs in like two years, not since Bobby from FlavCity said to get those like organic pasture raised ones. Yeah. And I bought these ones. I feel like a fool.

And we both looked at each other in the supermarket. We're like, they're probably 100% getting us on the marketing, but we were like, we should do it. A box of eggs from down the road. It did, it did. But I saw today, I couldn't find where the farm was. I saw it was Wisconsin. Like I'm a fucking fool. Great. from down the road. It did. It did. But I saw it today. I couldn't find where the farm was. I saw it was Wisconsin.

Like I'm a fucking fool. Great. Just up the road. I have to take a picture. You guys, it's actually like crazy what they did. Yeah. And we both,

there's like one green one, two white, two brown, yellow. Yeah. Not, not none beside each other. They're all like staggered.

Yeah. They got us. Down the road from Wisconsin. Just down the road from Wisconsin. Just down the road from Wisconsin. So, jam. Jam. I'm open to jam. I don't need jam right now in my life.

I'm going to say, I'm a little bit shocked that this is what she led with. This was her opening, like, gusto. This was her walkout song, just rustic jam. I hope it's the beginning of something big. Like, I hope the jam drops. Next week, like, a trailer for the cooking show drops then the show drops and then you know a Le Creuset style Dutch oven yeah I keep on dropping even her PR packages was kind of just giving like bridesmaid proposal yeah it was like actually I'm only saying that because I was getting married in Italy so I put lemons in mine

but like it's yeah and who are the friends who got them no one that I like no no you know like just like her her pals so brew are you switching sides oh brew goodbye miss you love you so funny he needed to go snore in peace okay so aro debbie's its first product and we'll keep you posted our next story a little beverly hills news crystal kong minkoff is leaving real housewives of beverly hills after three seasons okay so crystal kong minkoff has announced that she is leaving real houses of beverly hills after three consecutive seasons calling her exit bittersweet she said on instagram hi so i just wanted to share the news that i will not be coming back to film season 14 of real housewives it's so bittersweet never did i think i would have been

asked to do the show in a million years let alone film it for three seasons every single year i was asked back it was a blessing it was an honor and now her time has come do you think it was her decision or theirs i think it was theirs i wouldn't be so i don't think it was hers because like why not do another season it's not like her life was negatively impacted by the show at all. If anything was like a fun thing for her to do, but I think those two things go hand in hand because she wasn't the most interesting, which is why her life wasn't really affected by it. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. But because she wasn't the most interesting, like her time was up. It was taking up space. So crazy that like the producers can just decide someone's time. It's like,

you see, we always see these housewives like, but then we see ones that are like super interesting that are like, I was not asked to come back this season. And it's like, Oh, and it's like really tumultuous and crazy. But yeah,

I agree. I think this was just like a, her time had come. Like they gave it three seasons. This was what, you know, she's saying, this is what I have for the show.

Take it or leave it. And they said no things. And I think she's not coming back and Marie's not coming back I think we'll get some new cast members Beverly Hills like isn't in a bad place so it's not like they need a major shake-up true but she could have had an affair for us yeah we're like like just started major friend drama right but that's just like not her style I agree and she went out with her head held high she really did I think this is a good run she's like i can't even recall like my overall thoughts on her because i feel like sometimes i was so with her sometimes i was so not yeah i just felt indifferent yeah it isn't love and hate it's just indifference yeah but i i think that ultimately

is a good way to go because she can just like go back to her life and her tings and her tings she's like maybe she's gonna start a jam company she needs time she could start a jam company I think everyone could start a jam I think actually literally anyone could start a jam company boil berries yeah and you add sugar put it in a jar burlap string lemons in a pr package shoot, shoot it off. Wait, I kind of sound like a Megan hater. Sorry. No, you kind of sound like you could make your own jams like Megan because you're Megan. Yeah. Well, we, I am her. She is we, we, I wonder if she's ever had shingles or if you just called Megan up and you just talked to her. Um, yeah. Could you use anyone's advice? Really? I don't know. I just,

I mean, I'm not really a hater of her. No. But it feels, it feels just like easy to do. Yeah. No. And it's like,

we need more. Like we need more from ARO. This is like a very, very soft launch and it needs to be bigger and better. Like it needs to be like gangbusters, honestly.

And that's what Beverly Hills needed. They just needed more. Yeah. TB, it will be exciting to see who they cast. That is always fun. But goodbye, Crystal. Bye.

Oh, I love, I love that for them. I'm a big Paul brother fan. Really? Yeah. I watch. Unassumingly. Unassumingly. I watch Untold Jake Paul on Netflix. Okay. If I need to watch it. You should watch it.

And so and so yeah i feel like i know a lot about them because they share their share their shares and i like that about them that i like feel like i know a ton yeah and i like i think these two are such a cute couple having babies you love to see it yeah i like to see that too yeah interesting so mazel tov to the Paul Agdals. Our fifth and final story is exciting book, movie news,

and exciting redhead news. So I'm really glad to talk about it with you. Okay. I don't like you. I don't like you. Chad and I have been saying that all day. The whole day. So our fifth and final story, it ends with us. Blake Lively is starring in Colleen Hoover adaptation.

It ends with us. It has gotten a release date. The movie that is so highly anticipated for so many reasons is coming out on August 9th. So initially it was set to be released February 9th, but then was pushed back to June. However, it will now be released in August. Honestly, I didn't even realize it was pushed back. That feels kind of soon.

They pushed it back because of all the backlash they got, I thought. You're lying. No, no, but also strike tings. Oh, strike tings. I, I thought, I mean, I'll literally believe anything I read, but like, I thought I saw a headline at one point that said that, um, Colleen Hoover was like taking into account the like fan backlash. So I don't think that she should, even though I saw the pictures and I was not excited by

them. Like, I think that these choices had already been made you can't let the fans like dictate your artistic vision like she was okay with what she saw she liked it she wrote the book like I think she was okay with it she had to be but like I guess like she did put out a statement saying like Blake Lively is a dream casting for her because for me like the issues start with the Blake Lively casting like I thought that was the wrong choice she addressed it she addressed it okay so what'd you say sorry she said like it's a dream to have Blake be in this role like couldn't have dreamed up a better

yeah but I feel like when you do think of like rom-com leading lady you do think of Blake Lively but for this book it's not a rom-com though to me like well like a room you know yeah I guess no you're right you're right she's like whenever we do red, we read books and then we cast them like for a movie. I mean, like Blake Lively is an obvious choice. Of course you want her as your girly. Sure. But not here. Like I do think here it was the wrong choice.

I do think also the author doesn't have like full say in these things, but I don't think she was mad about Blake Lively. Really, could you get a more exciting cast? That's the thing. It's really exciting because she's just such a big deal. But like, I also just stand in solidarity with the redheads who could have been a perfect casting office out on the shop yeah like a redhead was meant for the job and didn't get the job and like lively dyed her hair red and crimped it in a really horrible way and I don't think she

looks like the character no it's like kind of offensive to redheads I agree I can think of a number of redheads and we all played this game. Who should it be? Of course, Shannon Ford. Of course, Sophia LaCourte. Of course, Madeline Petsch. Yeah. It's just, I don't know. And so it comes out in August. I wasn't, I wasn't perturbed about the male choices. Yeah. Because like, who cares about that? Right. I also like, I felt like such a hater. I didn't want to be a hater. I talked about it on my podcast. You look, I didn't want to be a hater to Blake Lively because I fucking love Blake Lively right it's like it's making us say negative things about Blake Lively who's a darling girl agreed

but she shouldn't be in this movie even just like on a redhead level age level Lily is younger yeah yeah like obsessed with Blake Lively like making the change into like older roles. And by older, I just mean like playing a mom who has like kids that- Because she's a mom who has kids. Exactly. Like what was the movie with Anna Kendrick that she did? You know the one. I know the one.

Everyone's screaming it right now that's watching this. Yeah. They, shoot. Like a fatal affair or something like that. But not that. Anna Kendrick. A Simple Favor. A Simple Favor. Okay, that's literally the same thing. Like obsessed with her and that film. Obsessed with her. shoot like a fatal affair or something like that but not that anna kendrick a simple favor a simple favor okay that's like obsessed with her and that film obsessed with her obviously so many films i

never saw that oh you should watch it it's so good it's so good yeah and it's like she's she wasn't pretending to be like a young hot 22 year old she was acting as a like hot 38 year old and like it was giving yes it was the best movie. She looked so hot and like, why is she now going back and pretending to be a 19 year old? Yeah, yeah. So I will be seeing this movie because I really liked the book

and now like I'm just so interested in what- August is soon. And August is soon. And so we have a date. What are they gonna do? Theaters, prime, what are they up to? Theaters. The have a date. What are they going to do? Theaters prime. What are they up to? Theaters. Okay. So exciting. And you had read the book. I read the book. Yep. And you like it a lot turdy. You know, you know, I only became a reader because of you guys. I didn't read. I only,

well, not that you listen to audio books that count. It totally counts. But like, I got a Kindle recently because of you guys and I'm like obsessed. Like, Oh, I love that for you. My favorite, one of my favorite Shannon facts, in addition to like the productivity and everything is that you like, listen and have technically read like all the, like the Alex cross. It's like,

you read like James Patterson and like James Patterson. Like it actually really bothers me when you say that there shouldn't be male writers. Like I'm obsessed. No, like Shannon's keeping them in business. I'm like, I read.

How many books are there? 35 on the Alex cross 36. And I thought I would never get through them all because I started, they came out in like 1994 or something. And maybe even before that, is that your favorite genre? Like thriller, but not in the traditional sense. No, because now that my eyes have been open to like actual good books that you guys tell me about, like calling humor and like all that stuff and like love, love a smut, like, like from the male perspective, like any sex scenes were just like very male driven and only big. And now, honestly, James Patterson didn't write that many sex scenes. It was just like very small things. And it was all from like the male POV. You know what I mean? So I'm not like, you know,

on the edge of my seat. Like, I don't care what the man feels right about me. So like, yeah, I mean, I could, I definitely like this other genre better, but like Alex cross by James Patterson, he's my guy, your boy cross my guy, my guy cross. And I ran out of the books. I couldn't believe it. I got through 36 of them and I'm like waiting for the next release. That is so crazy. Do you know that James Patterson co wrote a book with Dolly Parton called run Rose run. We read it for the redheads. It's like, it's a James Patterson style book and it's set in Nashville and it's like has country music influences. There's a character in there who's like very much like Dolly Parton. Really? It wasn't bad. I think you should read it as like

a Nashville Dolly James girly as a James Patterson stand. I will. He has so many books. So I actually started looking into it. He co-writes a lot because like, how could he not? Like he comes out with so many books. It's actually hard whenever I go to find on Kindle or like audio book, when I go to find my Alex Cross stuff, I have to filter through like 15 other like novels he's coming out with, like the murders, why the murdered wives club or like, it has like all these like longstanding, like, like series. Yeah. But you know, Alex cross was such a popular, um, book. The first one along came a spider was a movie Denzel Washington played. Did you watch it? I haven't watched it. My dad said I should, because it's like, you're obsessed. You're obsessed. What other

is, is Alex cross like the only series in that genre that you've read all of them? Yeah. I've read no other series really other than like I'm reading I'm listening I'm reading a lot of books right now but I'm listening to when I do my makeup I like to listen to either the toast or all if it's not out yet and I'm getting ready early in the morning I'll have an audiobook and right now I have iron flame on and I was just telling you I'm kind of like I'm kind of exhausted from it yeah by the end of the second book like towards the second half of the second book I was just like you know what I'm kind of exhausted from it. Yeah. By the end of the second book, like towards the second half of the second book, I was just like,

you know what? I'm not going to read the third, whatever it is. Like I'm just, it's not for me. And I really liked the first one. I think it's a really good. The first one,

I couldn't get enough. And whenever the show they're making like a show about it and it'll be really popular. I just like, I think I'm not the right demo. The demo is it's losing me towards the end too. So yeah, I mean, no, just really Alex Cross is my fixation. John Grisham.

John Grisham. No, but like, it's so funny. You're so right. This is giving like on your dad's bedside table. No, Stephen King. Stephen King. I've read a few of his. I like it.

Harlan Coben. No. Like these are the people who are always like on the bestsellers, airport books. That's what you read. Was just going to say your classic, like displayed in the people who are always like on the bestsellers airport books that's what you read was just going to say your classic like displayed in the front airport books like like when girls come out with like their own books like you always see them in the airport like removing a Stephen King book to like put theirs like I yeah I've read a good bit of Stephen King that is I just I'm supporting that's my favorite fact about you male authors you are oh my god you're undoing all the work that Claudia is doing to de-platform them. But I do, I do feel better than

everyone else. Whenever I'm reading my Kindle, like James will be doing, James is like a very like studious, like thoughtful person. He's never just like scrolling TikTok. He's always doing something like beneficial to him, his health or his like mentality, whatever. And I still, like, I look over at him, he could be doing something good. And I'm like, oh my God, I'm literally so much better than you. Like a scholar yeah what is he doing I don't know like he's doing what's he doing what is James doing um I don't know he'll just be doing something you know what I mean something he doesn't read he reads books but like if physical physical books of course loser um he, he, I don't know.

He could just be doing anything. Like he could be like looking at his fingernail and I'm like, look at him looking at his fingernail while I'm reading. Right. That's like anything. Yeah. He could be doing anything. Anything.

And I'm like, I'm literally so much better than you. Yeah. And even meanwhile, you're reading Colleen. Yeah. I'm literally reading like pretty girls. Kindle. Right. Right.

I'll never know. I remember when 50 Shades of Grey came out and I was in high school and I like wanted to read it so badly on the airplane and like these old ladies that was, I mean, I was like somber. So I was like, uh. They'll never know. I remember when Fifty Shades of Grey came out and I was in high school and I like wanted to read it so badly on the airplane and like these old ladies sat beside me and I was like somber. So I was like, ugh. Kindle. I'm literally reading about clits.

Coo, coo, coo. There's a Kindle for that. There's a Kindle for that. Yeah. Well, I'm glad that we've converted you, but I'm sad to take you away from James Patterson and John Grisham. I'll be back, Jax.

I'll be back. Okay, okay. I literally ran out. There's none left right now. I've read them back. Jax, I'll be back. Okay. Okay. I literally ran out. There's none left right now. I've read them all. That is seriously the funniest thing ever. I actually have read like a couple books of that elk that I've loved that I want to recommend to you if you haven't read already.

I would love to. Right now I'm reading on your, per your recommendation, I'm reading Strange Sally Diamond. I'm on page like seven. It's really good. I know that you'll like it because it's like twisted and objectively very good. I was going to have her read Bye Baby, but I feel like she wanted darker. I wanted darker. I like darker.

Yeah. Yeah. Good. Like pretty girls by Colleen Hoover, right? All the pretty girls are pretty girls. I don't think so. That book is like stuck with me for like, I'm not getting like eight years in the most like twisted dark way, but like I love that.
