Laura Lee
Manny, you want to begin with? I'll start your story.
Manny Emua
So today. No, I'm gonna start with my peak first. So today, the fourth that this is uploaded is my birthday. Oh, happy birthday. Hey. Hey. It's my birthday. I'm turning 34 years old. Young, young. 34 years young. And I'm actually wearing this. This shirt I got from Denkies, because we actually have a drink coming out for, like, the month of April for my. For my birthday. So I'm really excited.
Laura Lee
His own drink.
Manny Emua
Yeah. And honestly, it was actually really fun. Like, the fact that I was able to actually create a drink, I felt very Hailey Bieber.
Laura Lee
Oh.
Manny Emua
Felt very erewhon. Like, felt very erewhon vibes.
Laura Lee
Yes.
Manny Emua
You know, like, how, like, people create drinks at ere1. I felt very that. So I did a. We did a. It's called the Manny Moon Milk Tea, and it's a milk tea drink, but it's strawberry, like, infused. We have, like, strawberry chunks, and then we have this sickening. I didn't know we could. I didn't. You know, he could do this. We have a pink strawberry foam on top of it. So you drink the drink, but it's going through the. The pink foam. And then you get the milk tea. So it has like a little moon dangle. It's so freaking sick. And it's for the whole entire month. And the first 34 people that buy the drink get a free Strawberry Dream palette. Oh, my God. Yeah. Cause we just thought we like a funny. Like, it's so cool. It's, like, so cute.
Laura Lee
That's so major.
Manny Emua
Yeah. So we literally sent 34 Strawberry Dream palettes to the boba shop. Denki's obviously in San Diego.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
And because I'm turning 34, it's like the first 34 people that buy a Manny Moon milk tea get a free Strawberry Dream.
Laura Lee
That is so cool.
Manny Emua
Yeah, I thought it'd be like a really just cute thing. So if you guys are in sd, today is the day to go snag one.
Laura Lee
How long is it available?
Manny Emua
Just for the month. For the month of April.
Laura Lee
So they can do it for the whole month.
Manny Emua
For the Whole month.
Laura Lee
The first 34.
Manny Emua
But the first 34 get a free strawberry dream palette.
Laura Lee
How'd you land on this number 34?
Manny Emua
My eight. That was so. That was so real. She was like, how did you get 34? Exactly?
Laura Lee
I'm like, that is the most random number.
Manny Emua
I know it is.
Laura Lee
It's a random number, but never mind. It's not that random. You're turning 34, so that's why I'm with you. I gathered you're plugged in and now I'm here.
Manny Emua
Or mentally tethered. No, it's actually really funny. But okay, so this kind of like, ties also, like, into my peak. The 30. The. The 34. Like my pit. And is that. I was like, I think I'm getting fear mongered. I don't know, but I think I am. I've been fear mongering times, like, medically fear monger. I think I'm getting medically fear mongered.
Laura Lee
I feel like you have, like, a little tiny bit of hypochondria.
Manny Emua
A little bit.
Laura Lee
You have a kiss.
Manny Emua
It's like a kiss. A whisper.
Laura Lee
You have a whisper of hypochondria.
Manny Emua
I'm not like a full blown.
Laura Lee
No, you're not, but I'm definitely like. I would tell you in a heartbeat if I thought you were.
Manny Emua
No, I have. I have a touch. A whisper.
Laura Lee
You have a whisper.
Manny Emua
100%. 100%. Like, that's definitely something I have. I'm always like. But there's like this, like, it was just published where it's like they were talking about the ages that you. The, the. The. The number at the age that you hit that you have the biggest drastic, like, age change.
Laura Lee
Okay.
Manny Emua
Like, in your, like, proteins in your body. And that's when you actually see the biggest like, drastic physical change in your body is at age. One of them is 34. The first one's 34.
Laura Lee
So I'm literally like, well, lucky me. I've already passed that one.
Manny Emua
So. So I think the first one was 34. The next one I think is like, at 60.
Laura Lee
Damn. That's.
Manny Emua
Or maybe no. Or like, it's like 55.
Laura Lee
Got to be a. I can't remember.
Manny Emua
It was literally like, it was like 34. One other one, like in like, the 40s slash 50s range. And then one, like, last one. Yeah, but those are like, the biggest ones where you actually, like, see like, a major noticeable difference of, like, a sign of aging. And I'm like, I'm hitting 34. And that's when, like, the Biggest, like, hits to your age.
Laura Lee
Oh.
Manny Emua
And I'm like. I'm like, Laura. Like, is anyone out there that turned 34? Did you see any, like, major signs?
Laura Lee
No.
Manny Emua
You didn't, right?
Laura Lee
No.
Manny Emua
Because honestly, you just get hotter.
Laura Lee
So I feel like that's one. I'm in the best shape of my life. My body looks better right now than my body looked in my 20s.
Manny Emua
100 maybe. And I remember those under tit shots.
Laura Lee
Yeah, baby. On Instagram, I literally look better now. So it's hard for me. Also, yes, I've noticed some aging in my face. I'm not immortal. However, I recently, for some reason, clicked on my first ever YouTube video. That video gets views all the time. Because I know people.
Manny Emua
Popped up on my fyp, by the way. I swear, that too. God, it's literally popped up on my thing and I'm literally like, this girl in shock.
Laura Lee
I'm going have to take it down one of these days.
Manny Emua
It's too iconic.
Laura Lee
It's so iconic.
Manny Emua
It's too iconic.
Laura Lee
I was looking at my face in it, and I've always, like, thought I aged a lot around my mouth, my smile lines. But then I looked at that video from, like, 12 years ago, and I. Right there, it's the exact same smile line. So I'm like, wait, I have always looked like this. I was like, I don't know if.
Manny Emua
I've still look sickening. What are you talking about?
Laura Lee
No, I really did. I was like, wow, that's interesting. Maybe I haven't aged as much as I thought. Maybe I'm just, like, picking myself apart because I'm getting older.
Manny Emua
That's why.
Laura Lee
You know what I mean?
Manny Emua
You just think about it.
Laura Lee
You think about it.
Manny Emua
You're a little more also, I mean, like, phys. Like, physically, there are things where I'm like, I'm a little bit more tired than I used to be in, like, different aspects of my life.
Laura Lee
Yes.
Manny Emua
So there's. There's aspects where I'm like, I actually do feel, like, older than I did in my 20s, you know what I mean? But so I think it's natural for you to kind of go around, be like, well, what other things are changing as I'm getting older too? Like, you think about that a little bit. It's like, how do you not the substance? You know what I mean? So it's one of those things. But the other day I was, like, talking to someone. They're like, oh, how old you. I was like, I'm turning 34. And they're like, they were so shocked. They thought I was 27.
Laura Lee
You know, people do that to me, and I'm always like, are you just doing that? I think they are.
Manny Emua
I think they are. To me, like, I feel like they are.
Laura Lee
No, they're not. They're not. They're not. No, they're not. But for me, I feel like they might.
Manny Emua
No, no.
Laura Lee
Yes. No, I thought you're just saying that because I'll say my age and people will freak out. They're like, yes, they freak out. So, like, too much. They freak out, too. I'm like, 85. God damn. Calm down.
Manny Emua
You know what you should say? You should go crazy. Be like, I'm 40 years old.
Laura Lee
I'm about to start.
Manny Emua
No. Just so they can be like.
Laura Lee
And I'm like, I know, baby.
Manny Emua
No, I know, baby. I'm just sickening.
Laura Lee
Sickening.
Manny Emua
No, but I literally was. It was just nice to hear. And I was like, oh, my God. Like, do you know what it is also? We have, like, a young energy.
Laura Lee
We do, we do, we do.
Manny Emua
And we do social media for a living. So everything. We always are just, like, internally going to just you a little younger because of our jobs. That's just like, what the reality is. So I feel like it was nice to hear, though. And I'm like, do you see these grays, babe?
Laura Lee
It's scary because, like, I've always had gray hair. I started graying when I was 16, like, noticeably, like, enough streaks where people. They weren't, like, making a big deal. They were just like, oh, my God, you have gray hair. Like, wow, that's crazy, because I'd be, like 16 years old, and by the time I was, like, 20, I had, like, a pretty thick streak in the front, like, gray. And now at my age, Rogue from X Men, I was rogue. And at, like, 22. And now, like, so much time has passed. Like, I'm like, crazy gray. My niece literally goes because I did a day in the life, and I dyed my roots because it was, like, part of what I needed to do that day. And I showed my gray roots. And she goes, girl, in that video, your grays looked crazy. I was like, aaron, shred me. Get out. Leave. She was like, no, they looked crazy. And I'm like, okay, I know that they did, but you don't need to confirm. We didn't.
Manny Emua
I knew that we knew.
Laura Lee
I knew. We all knew. It's hereditary. My mom's was the same, so lucky us.
Manny Emua
Yay.
Laura Lee
Yay.
Manny Emua
Yeah. So that was my.
Laura Lee
I knew my pit would come to Me. When you started talking, you were like, just.
Manny Emua
You're like, it's you.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Got it. Found it.
Laura Lee
I remember what it was. I'm just kidding. No, my pit is dental work. Oh. Like, how could. Like, how have I not spoken, by the way I've lived you guys?
Manny Emua
This one right here is at the dentist, slash ortho, whatever it is. Every.
Laura Lee
Every week. Every week. Laura.
Manny Emua
Testing a photo. She's like this. In the dentist chair.
Laura Lee
Yep. Every week. I'm like.
Manny Emua
I'm like, no. And I'm like this. No, Laura, please.
Laura Lee
The thing is, is shockingly enough, I have good teeth. And it was interesting. I was listening to this really old Katy Perry in our interview when, you know, she would do, like, the blue wigs and all. That's how old it was.
Manny Emua
Okay.
Laura Lee
It's probably like 10 years old.
Manny Emua
Kiss a girl.
Laura Lee
Yes. Yes. So she was like, on a podcast, and she was just so honest because she's from Tennessee. Like, she's from the South. And she's like, yeah, you know, I have, like, poor dental health. Like, I'm working on it. Because her teeth are real. And she was like, we didn't go to the dentist growing up. And the interviewer was just so shocked. Shocked by that, because they probably live in a world where they're able to go. And she was like, why didn't you go to the dentist? And Katy Perry goes, because we were poor. And the girl's mind was just, like, blown. I'm like, yeah, it's real.
Manny Emua
That's how it is.
Laura Lee
Takes money to go to the dentist, babe. And if you don't have dental insurance. Yes. Even with dental insurance, it doesn't even matter if you. Cuz, like, I know what we pay out after dentist shirt. It's insane. So, yeah, same reason we were poor. I don't have any other excuse. We didn't have the means to go to the dentist. That was a luxury. We didn't take pets to the vet, we didn't go to the doctor, and we didn't get to go to the dentist. So with that being said, I think I had a cavity in my back tooth when I was like, 20, probably 18. 20. And I took myself to the dentist. And, you know, they're like, okay, we can do silver filling for like, 18, and then we could do like, the color of your tooth filling for like, double. And I was like, I'll take the cheapest thing you got. So I've had that feel filling for probably an eternity. Like, probably like, gosh, 16 years plus. And My dentist, every time I would go for cleaning, she'd be like, laura, we have to redo that tooth. You cannot leave that silver filling. So I put it off for years.
Manny Emua
Why can't you leave them? I have a question. Like, why aren't they, like, supposed to be left in your mouth?
Laura Lee
I think it's just, like, old and decay, and I think the silver ones aren't good for you. Like, I think you're not supposed to.
Manny Emua
Have metal in your mouth like that.
Laura Lee
Yes. Like, we've evolved past it because I don't even know that they do those anymore.
Manny Emua
Yeah, I don't. I honestly don't think they do. I. I don't think they do a silver fil.
Laura Lee
Me either. So I don't think you're supposed to have this. You're supposed to get them changed out. I don't know.
Manny Emua
I don't know.
Laura Lee
I'm so lost in the dental world. I have to ask her 50 times every single time they work on my teeth. Like, what are we doing? And why?
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
And they're like, girl, but. Because I hate dental, where I hate the dentist, you guys. I love my dentist, but I hate going. It is. And she's been going, I would rather go to the gyno seven days a week before the dentist. I hate the dent, so. And I've been going, so. So I put it off because my teeth don't bother me. So I put it off. Put it off, put it off. I've had a toothache, of course, but no. And I said, okay, 20, 25. One of my, like, resolutions was, like, you're getting.
Manny Emua
I just noticed your teeth. The dehydrate, the thing.
Laura Lee
Do you see a difference?
Manny Emua
I do see.
Laura Lee
Isn't it nice? Okay, sorry.
Manny Emua
I just, like. Because I haven't seen you since you just got it. Since you just got it last week. Oh, my God.
Laura Lee
That's what I forgot about that I.
Manny Emua
Didn'T see you on Friday for Drag Race.
Laura Lee
I forgot that I did that.
Manny Emua
Duh.
Laura Lee
I forgot that I'm gagged, and you just remind me, huh? So I was like, okay, 20, 25, I'm gonna get. Even though my teeth are bothering me. Like, I'm gonna be a big girl. I'm gonna go and I'm gonna get all this fixed up. And it's been a million appointments because they have to do it in sections. This tooth back here. And so I went to finally get it, finally finished, and I cracked the permanent cap tooth.
Manny Emua
So, wait, but how does that happen?
Laura Lee
I bet they said that like, the. In good shape. And so they said, like, there's a lot of tooth left, like, natural tooth. So they're like, it's a very, very, very thin cap that they're going to put over the tooth. And they said because it's so thin, my bite down is just so close. It cracked it. And so they were like, we're going to have to actually shave down your natural tooth like a millimeter more just to add more to the cap tooth because it's such a thin cap. So that's what they did. Now I have to go back again. But anyways, I'm dying. Like, I leave there every single time. Like, and my dentists are so nice and patient and sweet, but I leave there, like, feeling like I'm going to start crying.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
Every time I get hard. You're like, it's hard.
Manny Emua
It's just hard to do your body. It is on your teeth. So you feel, like, almost, like, emotionally drained.
Laura Lee
That's what it is. Mentally, emotionally, physically. With my.
Manny Emua
So it's hard to not, like, want to feel like I want to cry. Because you're just, like, drained kind of from afterwards. Because you're, like, kind of like pent up for hours on end, depending on.
Laura Lee
How long your mouth. You're, like, trapped in this chair. It's very, like, traumatizing, honestly.
Manny Emua
For sure.
Laura Lee
Lots of pain involved. Always with the teeth. Like, you're always gonna. Numbing or not. It's gonna be very uncomfortable.
Manny Emua
So numbing isn't comfortable.
Laura Lee
And last time I went. I went, no numbing. Because I didn't want to have a numb mouth all day. So I just asked them, could they do it without numbing? And I left there wanting to cry, but I was so happy to leave there without a numb mouth. It's weird. It's weird.
Manny Emua
It just depends. Yeah, like, how. And it probably obviously depends to, like, how fierce the work is. Like, if it's.
Laura Lee
Yeah, you're like, oh, they numb me down. Yeah, it hurts so bad. I was like, I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry my next. I have another appointment to get that too. That came in. And they were like, do you want to come in early? I was like, no, I don't. I don't ever want to come back again. And I told my dentist my face. I said, you're never gonna see me again after this.
Manny Emua
Like, never. Not even a cleaning.
Laura Lee
Will never see me again. I said, so put it on and kiss me goodbye. She says, it could be. She's like. She went through My invisalign journey with me. So she's used to my. The thing is that she's so great. You can dip on her for like two or three years and she doesn't judge you.
Manny Emua
Yeah, no, totally.
Laura Lee
She's so chill. She's like, hey, girl.
Manny Emua
She is like, how you don't get.
Laura Lee
In trouble at her office. She's just like, let's see.
Manny Emua
Especially being like, an adult. My baby. We all have lives. Don't try it.
Laura Lee
It's been.
Manny Emua
We all have lives, baby.
Laura Lee
It's been a nightmare.
Manny Emua
Teeth thing is so what I was saying with Laura, because I was like, oh, my God. Like, I, like, was shocked seeing it because I didn't notice ever really before. But now you notice. You pointed out. I'm like, oh, my God. It's like, I don't know what's.
Laura Lee
White Calcium deposits on your teeth. Some of y'all might have. I see people with it sometimes.
Manny Emua
It's not something.
Laura Lee
It's just like little white marks. Markings on your teeth. And it's the water. It's what's in the water you're drinking. It's your water.
Manny Emua
Okay. So I was wondering how it even happens. Like, what?
Laura Lee
Just your water. She was like, it actually doesn't have anything to do with your dental care.
Manny Emua
Got it.
Laura Lee
It's water. It's in the water.
Manny Emua
But now there's a treatment to get.
Laura Lee
Rid of that, which is brand new.
Manny Emua
It's brand, brand new. And Lord tried it. And, like, I now noticed that it's like, they're gone.
Laura Lee
Yeah. There's nothing that can remove them. Like, they're permanent. And so there's a new treatment they came out with. And she was like, I'm going to lunch with these people that coming out with this new treatment. I want to try it on you. I was like, girl, let me be the guinea pig.
Manny Emua
And it worked.
Laura Lee
And you say it removed, like, 95 of the white marks, which is crazy. Isn't that nuts? And it took her five minutes. Pain free and pain free.
Manny Emua
It's literally like a whitening treatment. But, like, to get rid of the.
Laura Lee
Dress, like, because those areas, I guess, are dehydrated or something, and they're able to, like, rehydrate them. It's weird.
Manny Emua
Who. Honestly, teeth up like you said, like, that is a whole nother world. I don't know anything about this.
Laura Lee
I don't know anything.
Manny Emua
Nothing.
Laura Lee
I don't know anything.
Manny Emua
But I have my six veers and I'm going.
Laura Lee
So if you need to go to the Dentist and you're putting it off. Let me be your inspo and just go and get it over with and do it for you because I'm suffering and we can suffer together.
Manny Emua
Let's all suffer. I feel.
Laura Lee
Let's do. I think it's time.
Manny Emua
I know my dentist actually just texted me last week and they were like, hey, you're like due for a cleaning because I have a permanent retainer in the lower. So actually like you have to get cleanings done like a little bit more frequently because of the build up and stuff. So I had it like now that my appointment's made, I think it's like in May, but it had been like six months since my last one and that's usually like pretty long for cleaning. For a permanent retainer, I usually should be going like every four.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
So it's about to be rough for the cleaning. I already know. Love that because they scrape and they do the whole thing.
Laura Lee
It's gonna be literally after this. I'm like, the cleaning is nothing, girl. Like, after this I'm like, please.
Manny Emua
You're like, I insist on a cleaning, please.
Laura Lee
It's nothing. Because I used to think cleanings were bad too, and now I'm. Now I have new perspective.
Manny Emua
You like this?
Laura Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Manny Emua
No mouth work. All the dentists out there, people that work in dentistry, foreign.

Laura Lee
Okay, I did write down my peak. It is. Oh, okay. Which can kind of lead us into our rapid fire. A rapid fire. I like Selena Gomez's new song.
Manny Emua
I thought about Blue Flame.
Laura Lee
I said I How does it feel to be forgotten? I mean, I like her blue too, but for me, I like Selena Gomez a lot. Like I like her as a human being. I lover of beauty. I've met her. She was wonderful when I actually met her, so I can speak to that. But to be honest, like her and Taylor Swift's music is not exactly my vibe.
Manny Emua
Hit your heart hasn't hit your heart.
Laura Lee
Like I don't. I probably have one Selena Gomez song on my entire I know, weirdly, a.
Manny Emua
Lot of her songs, like, when they play, I'm like, oh, like, I know the song.
Laura Lee
She's so famous. Like, you're gonna. It's kind of Taylor Swift song.
Manny Emua
You're gonna recognize them.
Laura Lee
If I was at Taylor Swift's concert, I could probably sing most of her songs because she's so popular and you hear them everywhere. That's kind of how it is for Selena. But. Okay, how's Feel to be Forgotten? Is that about Justin Bieber?
Manny Emua
Is that. Wait, I haven't heard the song yet.
Laura Lee
Oh, yes. I'm like.
Manny Emua
I started. I was like, we're monetized.
Laura Lee
I probably haven't heard on TikTok, everybody stands by Justin Bieber.
Manny Emua
I bet. I bet. That's another thing that reactivated the whole, like, Haley drama. Yes. It could be something like that.
Laura Lee
I like the song, but I'm also like, okay, didn't Justin the song My Mama don't like you? It wasn't that about Selena. Wasn't that about Selena.
Manny Emua
I think it was, actually.
Laura Lee
I was right.
Manny Emua
That was a long time ago.
Laura Lee
That was old. So it's interesting that she's coming out with music about him now or now.
Manny Emua
And it's also just, like, speculation and who knows? It's all really just speculation.
Laura Lee
You think it's speculation, right? Like, it could not be about him.
Manny Emua
But it could not be.
Laura Lee
It seems like it might be about him based off the lyrics. I'm like, ooh.
Manny Emua
You're like, I think it's a little pointed. It's like that. It's on the nose.
Laura Lee
It really is on the nose. That's why my. Damn. But I also think it's crazy. I don't know. I don't make music, but to be engaged to someone and him have a child and been married for four years to still be making music about making.
Manny Emua
It with the man that she's with.
Laura Lee
Girl. That's why. That's why I was like, is this not about Justin Bieber? Because I was like, it's weird that they made this song, but it's such a good song.
Manny Emua
I. I feel like I probably have heard, like you said. I just don't know. Like, it's not playing. Like, the one I've been listening to is Bluest Flame. So that's what. That's been on my mind.
Laura Lee
I'm like, that sounds a banger. And that's very impressed with Selena, babe. I am.
Manny Emua
When I heard that, I literally thought it was a collab with Charlie. I'm not gonna lie. I really thought I'm like, oh my gosh, you clap with Charlie. And I look and it wasn't. And I was like, I'm like this like Wendy Williamsing.
Laura Lee
I'm like, oh well you know, Benny is like the music producer of all time. So I feel like him and her.
Manny Emua
Selena goes down this road. Road. Let me tell you something.
Laura Lee
She's about to. Yeah, we. We about to be at the concert. How to be at the concert.
Manny Emua
If she goes down the Blues flame route, it's going to be around.
Laura Lee
But let me make this clear. I love Haley Bieber.
Manny Emua
Well, of course.
Laura Lee
So just because I'm saying I like her, her new album, which is rare for me, honestly.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
Real beauty.
Manny Emua
Rare beauty.
Laura Lee
I still love Haley Bieber. Okay, so here's our tea.
Manny Emua
Is that kind of sad that you feel like you have to almost like.
Laura Lee
It is say that it's really weird psychopath.
Manny Emua
The Internet's turn them to against each other. It's like this crazy thing and I'm like, I can't we just like both.
Laura Lee
I think Selena doesn't like Haley. Okay. I think she doesn't.
Manny Emua
She doesn't. There's no way.
Laura Lee
There's no way.
Manny Emua
I think she does world. There's just no way on this earth that she likes her.
Laura Lee
Okay. So I listen to Call Her Daddy podcast with Haley Bieber. It's not a newer episode, but it's not that old. And the entire episode she's talking about her hate from Selena and that situation.
Manny Emua
Yeah. Especially constantly probably guess.
Laura Lee
Yes. The whole.
Manny Emua
I didn't watch that. Okay. That makes a lot of sense.
Laura Lee
So I feel bad from her in by watching that. Like I got some feedback on her end and basically she was saying, I think the big problem was Justin Selena dated forever, broke up and then started talking to Haley. But then he went back to Selena for a very, very, very short window and then quickly five minutes later got engaged in Mary Haley out of nowhere. And they were so young too. So it seemed very rushed. However, Haley on that podcast was saying not at any point were they talking or dating while Selena and him were together.
Manny Emua
Right.
Laura Lee
And she also said she's really, really happy that he did test it one more time with Selena because. Because it solidified a hundred percent that it's not meant to be. Like it's not the it.
Manny Emua
Like it wasn't. It wasn't gonna happen.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Did you see that? That it's going around right now and it's like, listen, I want to say I love Haley. Okay. I love Haley.
Laura Lee
What Are you about to say, and I love Rose? Why don't you guys claim it?
Manny Emua
Because it was just a funny clip.
Laura Lee
I was kind of like, oh, oh.
Manny Emua
Because it's like a clip from a Fallon interview that she did, okay. A few years back. And he asked her, like, were you a Belieber? Like, asking about the just thing? And she was like, not really.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
And then all this stuff, like, popped out where she's like, a huge believer at the things where I was kind of like, diva.
Laura Lee
She's like this.
Manny Emua
Because everyone's basically calling out, being like, maybe we've seen the photos we've seen the proof we've seen. And she actually says it in the interview. She's like, I felt like an arranged marriage. And then Justin saying in his interview, it felt like an arranged marriage. So, like this, like, funny, like, running joke. But then it's almost like, is it really a joke? Like, or did the, like, did her parents, like, try to set them up? I don't know. I really don't know. Like, the lore really, like, that.
Laura Lee
We'll never know.
Manny Emua
We'll never know what it actually is. But it was. It just cracked me because I actually just saw the clip today and I was literally like, oh, baby.
Laura Lee
Okay, so now there's new information unfolding as of, like, last night. Oh, yeah, I will say so. Haley Bieber unfollowed Justin Bieber off Instagram. Oh.
Manny Emua
Do you know that apparently it was a glitch. She just announced today. Not now.
Laura Lee
Okay.
Manny Emua
She comments on someone's video and was.
Laura Lee
Like, it was a glitch.
Manny Emua
I never unfollowed him.
Laura Lee
Okay.
Manny Emua
Instagram made me follow him.
Laura Lee
I did my own detective work. Manny text me his tick tock. It was like, it says here that, you know, Haley's unfollowed him. I checked. She had unfollowed him, but he was following her. So I was like, no, no, no, no, no. I was like, this cannot be real. Because based off everything that I've recently watched of her, she's constantly defending the relationship. So if it was rocky, she would probably stay just silent on it her all the time. Oh, and two hours. Okay, so, like, I'm like, okay, she has unfollowed him. I go to his page, he's like, on a run, and he's like, posting cryptic and, like, a lot of crazy, weird stuff. Okay.
Manny Emua
And he was like, almost like crashing out vibes.
Laura Lee
Crashing out vibes. He had posted, like, 10, 20 IG stories of the most random crazy stuff. Posting the craziest, like, Instagram post. So it seemed a little crash Audi. But in his last pose, Haley's in it. Like a beautiful picture of her perfect face. Like you can tell. And she commented on it hard eyes.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
So it's like her support for the post. And so that was to support him, essentially. That was two hours after it broke that she unfollowed him. So it didn't make sense. It made no sense because you saw.
Manny Emua
It and she really wasn't following him.
Laura Lee
Literally posting her face and she's commenting on it, but she doesn't follow him. It doesn't make any sense. I do believe there's a glitch because my Instagram has made me unfollow people that I swear to God on my soul. Unless this per. Those people blocked me and unblocked me to get me to unfollow them, which they didn't do. Instagram has unfollowed just trolling.
Manny Emua
Miss Crashed how? He was like, he saw blocked her. Oh my gosh. See, like it makes sense for her to be like, no, it's like a glitch.
Laura Lee
I believe it. That makes sense because of the post that he posted, like literally two hours after the unfollow happened of her face face. And then she comment on it. That doesn't even make sense.
Manny Emua
I mean, I didn't under.
Laura Lee
I literally was like, still followed her. So it was like. No.
Manny Emua
So what's with the crash out though?
Laura Lee
Dude, I swear, I think it's not just crash out. I think someone on the back end is with this drama. I do. I think that's how deep it runs the lore runs.
Manny Emua
But no, but with. No, I'm talking about Justin Bieber's crash out.
Laura Lee
Oh, I don't know his crash out.
Manny Emua
Do you see like that I was like seeing something and I was like, this is like, it looks concerning almost like it doesn't like even look to me like, because, you know, like there was like the. The theory where like, oh, he like, knows he's trolling.
Laura Lee
That's why I feel like he's doing still I feel like he's trolling people.
Manny Emua
I don't at this point, I think I've. I've completely like lost hope on the troll based off of the lie. Now that I just. From honestly, from yesterday specifically where I was kind of like, I feel like you could be trolling. Like, I feel like you just kind of like it is what it is. But after like the well won the live.
Laura Lee
I didn't see the live girl.
Manny Emua
I just seen clips from the live. And it was like he was literally like this and hit like phone. Like, literally the camera like this in his eyes. And he's like doing things and he's like, like playing music is like. Yeah. Like, it literally looks like he's just like on something. It just looks like that. Manic. Just having a manic. And then he's like obviously posting all the stories and then just kind of posting these, like, weird. The crypticness. I feel like there's. There's trolling. You know, there's 100%. I feel like there's trolling and then there's where it looks kind of like concerning. Where you're like, yeah, this is giving more concerning to me. Yeah, I've gone to the concern level. So I don't know. I really don't know what's going on. But I just like, I don't know. I just like one world.
Laura Lee
I swear.
Manny Emua
Peace.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua

So our next topic is so huge and just it's, it's kind of juicy. It's juicy, it's crazy and it just keeps unfolding. Remy Jo. Yeah, Ms. Remy Jo. So she was a plus size fashion girly on tick tock.
Manny Emua
I think she big advocate for like huge passivity.
Laura Lee
Honestly one of the main advocates.
Manny Emua
I've been following her for so long. I just love what she doesn't did well.
Laura Lee
She was a huge advocate for you know, being in plus size, calling out brands, you know, for the plus size fashion hall.
Manny Emua
Remember those? Iconic.
Laura Lee
Yeah, I mean I think she blew up in 2020 and I too, I loved her con. I love her content. I loved her content. And she kind of had like a little bit of a different. She had a niche to it. She had a huge personality. And then over these past few I would say over this past year her weight has drastically dropped. So everybody's like ozempic oz and big. But she, the problem is, is like she built her whole entire career off standing up for plus size women. Inclusivity. And then all of a sudden she's no longer plus size but didn't talk about it. Just kind of kept on going and you know, I don't know, it's like.
Manny Emua
Honestly like even just talking about it, it's like it's a really sensitive topic. So it's something that you kind of like, you know, you have to respect in a way where it's like this is something that's very polarizing when it comes to weight loss and which ways doing it, the efficacy and all these kind of things when it comes to that it's a very, like, polarizing topic in general. So this is just something that we've been seeing that's kind of going around that, like, she, you know, was being super about inclusivity and being plus size and then preaching all these different things about that world. But then she lost all the weight, you know, and did it, like, it through, like, a gastric bypass, and then, like, you know, taking.
Laura Lee
She went on Khloe Kardashian's podcast and basically, finally, after all this time, because, like, the weight loss is pretty drastic. It's drastic, right? So it's like.
Manny Emua
It's fast and drastic. That's the difference.
Laura Lee
Oh, see, that's another one. It happens. It's really quick, fast. Like, overnight, it seemed. It was like, oh, my God. But then she didn't talk about it when it was like your whole page was built off talking about body image. So it was interesting takes. And then she goes on Chloe Kardashian's new podcast, and she airs herself out, and she says, you know, oh, I was having all these problems and all this, and I had, you know, the surgery where they made part of my stomach and basically went through a lot with that. And it's recovered, and it was hard, but now she's so much better, so much happier, and talks about all the benefits for her being skinny, for being skinny.
Manny Emua
So this is why it's kind of like.
Laura Lee
And this. It. There. There are layers. This thing keeps unfolding more and more and more. So the Internet did not take it well. Just because, one. I think the way she went about it, and people were like, influencers don't owe you anything. That's their transparency. But.
Manny Emua
But the thing is, I think it's different because when you build your entire influence and your career and your entire, you know, essence of who you are online off of one thing, and then you change your one thing. It does, I feel like, deserve a little explanation, I think. Oh, I think that that would be weird to me. Like, I think that's weird. Like, I actually think that part of it feels almost like phony in a way. Or, like, it would just be weird. I'm not saying that she's phony. I'm just saying.
Laura Lee
Well, I think that's how the audience.
Manny Emua
Yeah, yeah. No, and it would feel like that, though. Like, I feel like if you're building your thing off one thing and then you change it all and you, like, pretend like that essentially, like, I don't know, feel like it feels almost like it didn't happen or you're preaching like that the. The skinny way is the right way. Then it's kind of like what just happened.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
It's almost jarring for, like, the. For the audience to watch. And then obviously involving now that one girl live. And that's a whole nother, like, aspect of the story where it's like, oh, like, this just has layers and onions to the story itself. So I forgot her last name. It's Liv Schmidt. So she's been someone on Tick Tock who has talked about, like, you know.
Laura Lee
Her, like, a skinny girl.
Manny Emua
Yes, she's a skinny girl.
Laura Lee
No. What's her. Her group called? It's called. Yeah, Skinny Talk.
Manny Emua
Skinny Talk. Yeah.
Laura Lee
She created, like, a group for body positivity for girls herself on her page.
Manny Emua
Because she's, like, the smaller frame, skinnier.
Laura Lee
But she said she used to be plus size herself.
Manny Emua
I've not seen her when she's supposed to. I actually don't even know.
Laura Lee
I don't. I've never heard of this girl in my life, but I've never heard of this tea because I've always followed Remy and enjoyed her, like, outfit stuff, but it didn't go past that. So, like, this tea gets a little deep.
Manny Emua
Yeah. And I didn't know a lot of this lore. I had no idea. I didn't even know what the store. And then the video popped up where I was literally, like, whoa. So apparently, you know, this. This girl lives. She ended up doing a video with her friend and her friends. Like, I want to let her, you know, use my platform to talk about this subject. And apparently Remy had brought live a lot of, like, hate.
Laura Lee
She watched her videos.
Manny Emua
Yes, yes. And brought her a lot of, like, heat, essentially, for preaching that being, you know, thin and, like, skinny is better for your health. Essentially. That's what she was.
Laura Lee
Live girls, like, portion control is important. That would make Remy mad and that.
Manny Emua
Your joints will hurt if you have extra weight on them.
Laura Lee
Yes. She would speak on, like, your bones aren't meant to carry that much amount of weight for this extended years. So eventually you can have these problems. Remy would go off on her, like, stitch her and go off on her. You know, she would give these pretty factual things about weight, and it seemed like Remy didn't like what she had to say because Remy was so pro.
Manny Emua
Plus size.
Laura Lee
Plus size. She would literally come for this girl, and when she just started her videos, she.
Manny Emua
I think she started the. The train. The. The vicious train that Liv got about, like, you know, turning, you know, being like, oh, my God, she's essentially fat shaming is like, kind of what, like, it was coming across, but now. So Liv is, like, made this video, and she was like, everything you said on Chloe's podcast, and I think that you talk about now is everything that I said. And it's so crazy that you came for me at that time when now you are that girl.
Laura Lee
Now you're me, and you're regurgitating everything I'm saying that you stitch and made me get millions of comments of hate and, like, gave me a whole hate train. And now that you've had the surgery. But she calls her out on a bit, too. She's like, you went and had surgery. You didn't, like, just lose the weight by working hard month after month after year on it. And now you're regurgitating basically everything I said on my page for my body positive positivity, Tick tock blog, essentially for yourself on Chloe's. But I've spent years getting on from you.
Manny Emua
It's kind of like, no, I was honestly really gagged. Because the thing is, it's what's. What's. No, mine too. What's fascinating about it is that, like, I can understand being Remy at the time, being frustrated by someone who's, like, thin, promoting being thin and talking about and, like, not feeling like there's a body positivity in aspect of it. I can understand that. Aspect of being, like. I can understand that. I can see that. I can. I can see where she can get, like, upset about that. But then to cause, like, essentially, like, a hate train for her when now you have become, you know, thinner and she's like, you know what? Life's so much better thin. People treat me differently thin. And it's like, that's like what everyone says.
Laura Lee
Like, that's what she's like, My back doesn't hurt anymore. My joints don't hurt. Well, that's part of a video you stitched and basically called Girl out on fat shaming for saying that.
Manny Emua
So it's kind of like.
Laura Lee
It's jarring.
Manny Emua
It's jarring. And I understand what Liv is saying. Like, I really was like, girl, like, I would be if I was. I'd be pissed, too. Yeah, I'd be like, oh, girl now. But you know what's crazy? When I was watching the video, she was very graceful.
Laura Lee
Very.
Manny Emua
I was kind of gagged.
Laura Lee
Very graceful.
Manny Emua
I was gagged by Ms. Lith because.
Laura Lee
She was elegant, very well spoken, talked very highly of Remy, and was so happy to experience, you know, this weight loss and this change for her but still held her accountable for the hypocrisy. I like Remy still, but I definitely think there's, like, an apology owed or something there. Like, it makes sense when you make the choice to literally, you know, you're like, if I right now make a choice to go stitch someone's video, and I know I am about to rain hell mercy upon them with my followers, and then I. I just would never do it. I've never done it, and I would never do it for clicks or the views, regardless of what relevancy and how tempting that may be. I'm not that type of person. But when you choose to do that, it. That's bold.
Manny Emua
Oh, yeah. And the thing is, like, it's funny because I feel like. I bet you Remy at the time felt like she was the advocate for, like, plus size. So she felt like, I have to do this. I have to. I have to defend. I have to, like, be almost like a martyr for the cause. Like, in. In a way, I felt like she was probably thinking that, like, that's. That's how. I mean, at the time, especially because she was, like, in this niche where she really was trying to create change for body positivity in general. I feel like, how else are you gonna do that without making waves?
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
So she was. In her way. She probably feels very like, I have to do this, you know, like, in some way. But now that this is the case, I think that Liv totally deserves an apology, or she's just some type of acknowledgment where it's like, this is what I've been saying this whole time, but I got on it. But now that you've, you know, gotten.
Laura Lee
Skinnier, suddenly everything I said was correct and true. It's not fair.
Manny Emua
No, it's not. And I. I feel like this is why it's kind of like a sensitive topic, because it's like, well, this is.
Laura Lee
Body positivity, and then there's polarize, and it's. I think that's why it became so controversial with Remy losing this weight and doing the surgery, because of how many tick tocks she chose to do in the past to be the martyr for the cause and then switched up so quickly. And I think that's why, because if anybody else went through this, people are happy for them, people are excited for them, and people are like, you know, this is an amazing new journey for you. You could tell people feel and look more, you know, confidence. They build. So it's like a beautiful thing. But with Remy People are just not necessarily having it. I mean, I think there's a lot of people out there that love her for it, but there's a lot of people. They're pissed. This is literally why.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
Is because of all.
Manny Emua
You can see it. And especially, like, when I'm watching, like, the video, like I was saying with Liv and her being so graceful and, like, understanding with her and just showing her a lot of grace, when I feel like if I was her, I wouldn't give the grace that Liv gave her. She gave her a lot of grace. So I was kind of like, wow. It made me kind of like, oh, I was really impressed by her. She impressed me. But it. It is such a polarizing topic in general for the way of, like, what is body positivity and what. It's, like, enabling and, like, all these different things. And it's like. Like, it's a. It's a tough just topic in general. It is overarching. It's tough because then it's like, you can be, you know, a little bit larger, but be healthy.
Laura Lee
100.
Manny Emua
You could be an absolutely very healthy person. And you just, like, you know, are a little bit bigger. You can be skinny. As horrifically unhealthy.
Laura Lee
One million.
Manny Emua
So it's like, that shouldn't really be a thing. But I think it becomes this, like, fat versus skinny battle online. It really does, I think.
Laura Lee
Well, Remy's dipped her toe in saying a lot of things on both sides. It would be. I know. So it gets really crazy. I think it would be, like, me, like, being a drugstore girl product only, and literally trashing expensive brands and ripping apart Givenchy, Prada, you know, all the expensive brands. And then one day waking up like, I threw away all my drugstore makeup, and this is the only good makeup, actually. People would be like, you're like, I.
Manny Emua
Love our money now, and this is.
Laura Lee
All that I'm gonna use. And not actually, I got rid of all my, like, and I built it. Like, that's.
Manny Emua
That's a good analogy, Laura, because that really makes a lot of sense.
Laura Lee
Do you see how it. For the audience, it's like, what. Like, what do you. You're literally saying the opposite. So it's literally the opposite. So it's a very interesting thing. I'm always so happy for someone to control their health. Yes.
Manny Emua
And do whatever you want to do for that, like, to feel good.
Laura Lee
So I'm like, all girl.
Manny Emua
Me too.
Laura Lee
For that girl.
Manny Emua
Get the surgery.
Laura Lee
Doing it. I just think there's some accountability, for sure.
Manny Emua
And I think that's, I think that's the difference.
Laura Lee
It really is built her platform.
Manny Emua
And that's why I think it's something where it's like I. I'm the type 2 that like really obviously defends the creator. And I'm always like, well you know, like if someone's going through the gigs, like they don't have to sell everyone everything. But when you do build your entire career off of one thing and then that one thing changes, there is definitely something that should be killed.
Laura Lee
An explanation.
Manny Emua
An explanation, A transpire. Like something should happen. Because it is so jarring to see. And you're kind of like, like, whoa, what. What just happened to you? Like you built off of one thing and then you take that one thing away. Then it's like, well what is. What are you now like without that? You know what I mean? So it's a very, it's a very interesting thing. It's a very polarizing thing, clearly. But I'm curious to hear you guys thoughts on what you guys think about it.
Laura Lee
What's our next topic? Girl, we can do. What about the morning.
Manny Emua
Oh my God. I'll say. The morning routine guy.
Laura Lee
Ashton Hall.
Manny Emua
Girl, that video, the. The morning routine, right? The of doing nothing, essentially. That video has like 110 million views.
Laura Lee
60, you said it's 160 million.
Manny Emua
160.
Laura Lee
160, girl. Million views. It had like 9.
Manny Emua
Or was it 106? Because it has 9 million likes. And I literally was like this. I haven't seen views like that on a tick tock in.
Laura Lee
160 million is like Bella porch with her little into the bee.
Manny Emua
That's. That's like something that will be like immortalized online forever.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
106 million. So the video is basically this guy, very fit, very athletic, very fine. He's basically doing this like root. He's literally. So he like starts the video off with like pulling off the mouth tape. Genius. What a great opener. And so he basically wakes up at like what, three in the morning?
Laura Lee
Which is maybe beyond what time you go to bed.
Manny Emua
6:00. No, it's crazy. The routine is like buffoonery. It's rage baiting.
Laura Lee
It's rage bait.
Manny Emua
This can't be real, right? Like this can't be actually your morning routine. He's like, he's literally doing like ice dips with bottled water. Like ice face bottled water with the bottle of water.
Laura Lee
He like. I'm like, where are you living? Can you not use the.
Manny Emua
The sink?
Laura Lee
The sink, baby.
Manny Emua
No, he has to use the. No. And then he does water picking, but with the water bottle.
Laura Lee
With the bottle. Water picking in between his teeth with a water bottle. What is using water? And then he takes a banana peel and starts rubbing all his face. I don't get that part at 4:00 in the morning.
Manny Emua
That's a different kind of sick.
Laura Lee
That's sick.
Manny Emua
That's gonna really send me to the hospital. Rage.
Laura Lee
That's mental. That's 5150.
Manny Emua
No. And then he's like this. He'll, like, sit with it. He's like this.
Laura Lee
Girl, you go back to sleep.
Manny Emua
He'll like, do like this little meditating part where he's like, the run.
Laura Lee
The workout too. Like. Yeah. Like, it's so manic this morning routine. So it blows up.
Manny Emua
I think it's because of the mania.
Laura Lee
People have made spoons.
Manny Emua
Oh, they're funny. You know, I saw Logan Paul's. It made me laugh.
Laura Lee
James Charles.
Manny Emua
James has made me laugh.
Laura Lee
Funny. So funny.
Manny Emua
People have spoofed this morning routine because it's so diabolical. Have you seen the nighttime routine?
Laura Lee
No, baby, I know he uploaded a.
Manny Emua
Nighttime routine and you actually have to watch it.
Laura Lee
I bought the water to taste it and.
Manny Emua
Is it good?
Laura Lee
I haven't tried it yet.
Manny Emua
It better be good.
Laura Lee
I'm gonna try it because this is so.
Manny Emua
It's like.
Laura Lee
We can't trust it, though, because.
Manny Emua
No, I don't trust it.
Laura Lee
I can't trust that he's saying, if.
Manny Emua
You'Re waking about 3am, I'll trust you.
Laura Lee
You're out.
Manny Emua
I'm gonna be for real. If you're waking up at 3am, I.
Laura Lee
Don'T want to hear anything from you.
Manny Emua
I don't want to look my way.
Laura Lee
No advice, no nothing.
Manny Emua
Sit. Like, I literally. I can't do that. That's literally diabolical to me. But it is funny because I do feel like from 3am to like, whatever, nine or 10, wherever he's starting his day, waste of time.
Laura Lee
Also, he hasn't accomplished anything. I'm sorry.
Manny Emua
What are you doing?
Laura Lee
Have you done, like. You have spent three hours doing nothing? Being manic? Like, just go back to bed. He's like this, like, baby, you have done nothing. It is so crazy. So now that he's blown up, people are, like, looking at his background and everything, and I think they saw this thing where, like, he's like, getting evicted or. I don't know. I swear, girl, they're digging deep. They're digging deep.
Manny Emua
It's getting too fierce.
Laura Lee
Anyone to me. Okay. I have this, like, thing in my head where if anyone is too flashy or too showy for me, I assume it's. It's fake. And then if anyone doesn't show that much, I assume they have more than what they're showing for 100%. I have this tick with me. I swear.
Manny Emua
It's also, like, reminds me, like, almost like designer clothes. So when you're so flashy or designer clothes, I'm like, you don't really have as much money.
Laura Lee
Exactly.
Manny Emua
As someone that isn't really flashy with it. They have money.
Laura Lee
Okay. Because, like, in a way, have. Not that I'm a billionaire, but I've gone to, like, part. I mean, I've lived in LA for 11 years, so can you imagine what I've seen?
Manny Emua
Yes.
Laura Lee
And all the people that I know that are just like, like, filthy, disgustingly rich, like hundreds of millions of dollars, okay. They do not wear or show any of that. And then the people who have new money and probably have, like 1 million or a little bit of change, all they do is flash and flash and flash and show.
Manny Emua
Make it seem like, oh, look, I'm one of them too.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
But those people are doing that.
Laura Lee
Don't do that. So in my head, I have this constant thing where people are constantly showing luxury. I assume they don't have that much money.
Manny Emua
Yeah. If it's constant.
Laura Lee
If it's constant. And then I always see signs when people have a lot of money. Like, they're hidden signs, but, like, yep, it's on the net. Like, I. I see it. I'm like, oh, this person's wealthy.
Manny Emua
You can tell. You can tell.
Laura Lee
You can tell.
Manny Emua
Oh, you have, like, real money. You have real generational.
Laura Lee
Yeah. Yes, exactly.
Manny Emua
You don't got that new money. You don't have. You don't have an arm of an Cleave, honey.
Laura Lee
No, no arms of Van Cleef.
Manny Emua
Because, you know, like, the second you.
Laura Lee
Have the 4.4van Cleef. Even the cardio.
Manny Emua
And I fell into it, baby. And I fell into.
Laura Lee
We are preaching to the choir. We're calling ourselves out on this. So we're gonna talk generational wealth. We're gon. Exactly. So this is work ourselves.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
When you see the Van Cleef comes out, they ain't got the 100 million. They.
Manny Emua
They just don't got it because they're the ones they're having. There's have. They have other things happen. They have the. And it's funny because, like, those people that are on that really, really rich level. When they see people that aren't as rich as them doing things that they do, they're like, oh, we have to stop doing that.
Laura Lee
Yes. Oh, it's a thing.
Manny Emua
You guys are so crazy.
Laura Lee
A hundred percent. They're like, they do not.
Manny Emua
They're wearing Goyard now. Yuck.
Laura Lee
Yes. Literally, the Goyard bag. So Goyard has been so popular in the wealthy. Wealthy billionaire, like, 100 millionaire collection forever. But once, you know, everybody figured it out and was like, oh, I want a Goyard bag. Every girl, you know, it used to be the Louis bag at the airport, the tow bag. Now everybody's got the colorful Goyard. Those people, they don't want to carry Go Yard anymore. They'll move on to the next brand. They don't like trending.
Manny Emua
Vicious cycle. It's really quite.
Laura Lee
And now Van Cleef used to be for the wealthy wealthy. Now every influencer's got Van Cleef on. They don't want it anymore. They don't want to be seen with Van Cleef. They're done. Isn't that nice?
Manny Emua
It's like, I don't get it, really. Like, I don't understand. It's like, I don't know why they don't. I don't know.
Laura Lee
The whole thing is weird. Point is, they're like, if everybody can have it, they don't want.
Manny Emua
Yeah, but maybe that's why, like, when.
Laura Lee
You'Re, I guess, like, filthy rich, they want something a little more exclusive.
Manny Emua
Yeah. And also when they're that rich and they have that much money, I think that they need more things to make them, like, get that high, 100%. Like, when you're filthy, filthy rich, a little thing will not give you that fulfillment. Like. Like something big that no one else can get will.
Laura Lee
All of this is sick, girl.
Manny Emua
It's consumerism to the fucking 10th degree, okay?
Laura Lee
But they have so much money, it doesn't even matter. Like, you know what I mean? Like, certain people do.
Manny Emua
Yeah, totally.
Laura Lee
But anyway, so this guy, like.
Manny Emua
Oh, yeah. I was like, we trail, we trail, we trail.
Laura Lee
People, you know, they're gonna do their dig anyways. They were like, like, finding all these little things out. I'm like, if y'all don't leave this man in his wacky ass routine, please.
Manny Emua
Leave him in his banana peel alone.
Laura Lee
But you know what's crazy is me and Manny were digging through his profile. We noticed that, like, he's been doing. He was getting boots. Yeah.
Manny Emua
By the way, For a long time.
Laura Lee
It's Just this one routine. And he's been doing similar crazy routines, by the way. That's like his page.
Manny Emua
Yes.
Laura Lee
It's like doing these wacky routines that are just like buffoonery. But this one just hit the Internet. I think it was just like, like found correctly.
Manny Emua
He was doing like Mr. Beast got him to do like a little bit, do like an ice dunky thing. I was like, damn. When you hit you.
Laura Lee
And he was trying to make Mr. Beast do his workout.
Manny Emua
Mr. Beast was, I can't do this. No, cuz he's literally like a built ass, strong ass, muscular man.
Laura Lee
Muscular people I've ever seen.
Manny Emua
I'm like, you are literally like a bodybuilder.
Laura Lee
He tells me. Is he doing nothing that's in his videos? No, cuz like what I mean, girl, no.
Manny Emua
Because if you're working, if your body's like that, let's be so fr. You're in the gym six hours a day.
Laura Lee
Yes you are. Yes you are.
Manny Emua
Point blank. And that's honestly like that. Loki becomes your whole life.
Laura Lee
You ain't doing water pickings and banana pills and mouth tapes to get like.
Manny Emua
No, it's just like funny. I think it's literally all camp. Like, I think the whole point of it, like rage bait. Yeah.
Laura Lee
He knows exactly what he's doing. I'm about to start rage baiting. Honestly, I am sick of this.
Manny Emua
That's it. Let's. Let's cut open your chanel's down. Let's. Do you remember when people were like heating like they were like, like up their chanels.
Laura Lee
Rage bait.
Manny Emua
They were rage baby. That was the whole point.
Laura Lee
A charm, like a glove, like a girl.
Manny Emua
That is so. It's crazy. The routine is diabolical. You guys have to watch it. Literally all you have to do is type in morning routine on Tick Tock right now and it's gonna be the first thing that pops up.
Laura Lee
Ty was like, have you guys. He was like, have you seen this guy's morning routine? I was like, I don't know what you're talking about. Like I haven't seen it. So he sent it to me and I watched it and I was like, yep, it's crazy. And then my entire algo. Oh my God, there's so many videos.
Manny Emua
Because the spoofs are like. Like there's so many. That's why it's gotten so big. Like the spoofs are so. And that's funny. The spoofs are hilarious. Cuz they're so dramatic.
Laura Lee
So funny.
Manny Emua
Obsessed with them.
Laura Lee
I mean his videos.
Manny Emua
I saw one, like, waking up, and it's like the mariachi playing in the room to his alarm was the mariachi. And I was like, it was a band of six men, six Mexican men in the room. And the guy's like, waking up.
Laura Lee
Like, I'm about to wake up to that Me.
Manny Emua
That's what I'm trying to wake up to is mariachi.
Laura Lee
I like that.

She stopped podcasting for the foreseeable future, and then she started a vlog channel on YouTube.
Manny Emua
Shut up.
Laura Lee
Which seems like that's her way around.
Manny Emua
So she stopped the podcast and started a vlog channel.
Laura Lee
Yes. Like in the same week.
Manny Emua
Do you.
Laura Lee
What do you think is going on? So Alice Cooper got railed whenever.
Manny Emua
Yes.
Laura Lee
Alex Earl did her little get ready with me and said she podcast now for the foreseeable future. So then Alex Cooper, who owns Call Her Daddy, got destroyed. So Alex Cooper had to put out a statement. She was just basically, like, saying, we've done nothing to stop her from podcasting. We've given her every resource to continue podcasting. So basically they were like, this doesn't have to do with us.
Manny Emua
Yeah. So it's like, maybe. Maybe Alex just doesn't like it.
Laura Lee
She was like, the way she said it was like, I can't podcast right now for the foreseeable. It wasn't Like, I'm gonna pause. I need a break. She never said any of that.
Manny Emua
I can't do it.
Laura Lee
So it create. That created a lot of speculation because it was like, she wants to, but like right now she. And she said foreseeable future, which means.
Manny Emua
Which is also crazy.
Laura Lee
Then you saw where she's suing gymshark.
Manny Emua
Yeah, I saw that.
Laura Lee
They had like a million dollar brand deal or she's suing on 4 million. But I don't, I don't know, you know, what they owed her. But she apparent. They apparently cut her brand deal and allegedly it's because she was. Was pro Israel.
Manny Emua
Yep. And promote, like, and she's doing like pro Israel stuff.
Laura Lee
So she felt like that's why they cut her brand deal and now she's suing them. Allegedly. No, well, it's.
Manny Emua
But see, the thing is that to me, though, like, brands have the right, if you do not align with them.
Laura Lee
To cut you 100.
Manny Emua
That's actually in brand deals.
Laura Lee
Contracts were aligned. They still will owe you money for sure.
Manny Emua
They can, like, pay up.
Laura Lee
That's the only difference. Maybe they're not paying her out.
Manny Emua
Yeah, maybe. But like, like in the brand, like a lot of times, you guys, by the way, in brand deals and negotiations and in your contracts, they have clauses where it's like, if you do some buffoonery, some bullshit, but before the deal comes out or what happens in it, we can pull the deal from you.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Because you do no longer align with our brand. You no longer align with our vision. So maybe, you know, gymshark was not, like, liking that she was doing that. And wasn't that. So they're like, we're going to pull that. Because that's crazy.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
You know what I mean?
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
So to me, I'm kind of like, I'm curious as to what would happen with that because I'm like, like, I'm.
Laura Lee
Just wondering if that has anything that's tired. Tying her up in podcasting. I have no idea how, like, her.
Manny Emua
Views or that the gym shark thing.
Laura Lee
Because Alex Cooper was basically saying, like, this doesn't have to do with us.
Manny Emua
I wonder too, because I thought it.
Laura Lee
Was like the caller daddy competition. Yeah. She's coming out with a drink. There's a lot of competing clauses. I thought maybe that. But now there's another layer to it this week because she's announced all this and then Alex Cooper put out a statement. So now I'm like, does it have to do with the gymshark thing?
Manny Emua
I don't think so.
Laura Lee
Right. Two different things.
Manny Emua
I think it's too, like, far different. I think that's like. That's its own whole, like, thing situation that she's dealing with is that which. I feel like Gymshark has every right to do that.
Laura Lee
Totally. 100. But I was just saying, like, let's say Gymshark. It's just like, whatever was in that contract with Gymshark, like, if they said that they were going to pay her this month and they didn't put any type of clause that, like, they can drop her, well then. And then they just choose not to pay her, well then that's why she's gonna sue.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
So, I mean, any brand can drop. They have to protect their brand.
Manny Emua
Of course. And if they don't like that. And they don't like that.
Laura Lee
Right. If it doesn't align. So I totally get the dropping. I'm just saying, like, I don't think she would be suing if she knew she wasn't going to win the money.
Manny Emua
Correct. And also because, like, it becomes a public thing.
Laura Lee
Yeah. Like, I don't think she would go through all of that unless they, you know, there's a little something in that contract.
Manny Emua
Yeah. Yeah. Some. A clause.
Laura Lee
A little clause where they had a pair.
Manny Emua
I'm really curious about it all know is I just bought some gymshark.
Laura Lee
I love gymshark. I love gym shark.
Manny Emua
I'm a huge. Like, I just. I like their stuff.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Because it's, like, comfy and it's not that expensive compared to, like, a lot of workout clothes.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
They did a great job.
Laura Lee
But anyway, so a lot of speculation there, but, like, no answers. I just think it's interesting.
Manny Emua
It is. I think it's fascinating that. I think it's fascinating for her to be like, I'm not gonna podcast for foreseeable future now I have a vlog channel. Huh.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Like. Because the thing is, like, that doesn't. Because the podcast was big. It doesn't make sense to me because I'm like, why would you stop doing that if it was a successful thing?
Laura Lee
Like, what could the legality there be?
Manny Emua
There's something. There's something fierce. I know it's something fierce in there. I know there's something real, like, that's happening in that contract where it's like, yep, I can't podcast for a seat. You can't or you.
Laura Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Manny Emua
There's a big difference between.
Laura Lee
I don't want to seem to really like podcasting. So, like, you know what I mean? Like, I feel like she, it was like her thing.
Manny Emua
I'm really intrigued. I'm very curious.
Laura Lee
Me too. Me too, darling. So we don't really have any answers on that. Our next topic is Snow White flopped.
Manny Emua
Oh my God.
Laura Lee
Like flopped hard.
Manny Emua
I've actually never. Obviously it's the worst rated, you know, it's the worst rated movie of all time on IMDb.
Laura Lee
Oh my God.
Manny Emua
That's how hard I thought I was.
Laura Lee
The worst rated Disney movie.
Manny Emua
No, I think it's literally the most worst rated movie of all time on IMDb. I think it's like a one point something.
Laura Lee
Oh my God. Is it that bad?
Manny Emua
But I. But the thing is, what's crazy is that people are saying that it's actually not that bad, but they're just bombing the movie.
Laura Lee
Why?
Manny Emua
Okay, so this is.
Laura Lee
Okay, give it to us. I have, I'm googling data on it. Guys.
Manny Emua
I have a full theory. So I feel like they're using Rachel as they're like scapegoat for the movie doing bad. Because they just don't like Rachel. Rachel. Okay. A lot of people, people in general, they don't like Rachel.
Laura Lee
I agree with that.
Manny Emua
And this is like where it gets hairy because Ray, I remember like there was like this, this story, this just broke and Rachel posted like a pro. A pro Palestine thing. She posted pro Palestine thing. And apparently one of the directors or someone flew to New York to be like, you need to take that down. You're harming them, you are harming the movie. And then so that's the. That people are speculating that that has become like the rhetoric behind it where it's like they're just going to use Rachel who you guys. Because she had some bad interviews and people didn't like that she was saying that Snow White was like, I wanted to have that.
Laura Lee
That was the real tanker was that interview where she was.
Manny Emua
That interview. That was a year ago.
Laura Lee
This isn't. I mean, I don't know. But that's why that blew up. Gonna be the, this is the, this.
Manny Emua
Is gonna be the Snow White that's like for the girls or female empowerment Snow White or whatever it was.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Which I was like, okay, I feel like that obviously these are kind of like, it could be weird takes for sure. But I don't think that that one thing or like that little interview that she did or that little press tour is the reason that it bombed so bad. That it's getting raided and bombed so bad. Like, I just don't think that's the reason. I think that there's like, actually a lot of, like, behind the scenes work going on to make it seem like Rachel's like the scapegoat and they're using her, I think. But the thing is, it's actually backfiring because a lot of people are now very much, much pro Rachel. A lot of people are literally being a lot more like, no, we have to, like, protect Rachel at all costs because of how horrible. Horrible. And it's like, girl, let's talk about Gal Gadot.
Laura Lee
Let's.
Manny Emua
Okay.
Laura Lee
Oh, she's getting it too, though.
Manny Emua
She's getting it.
Laura Lee
She's getting it bad too. She's getting it good. It says that here from Daily Mail that the budget of the movie was 250 million, which, by the way, that's so crazy. And so far it's grossed only 43 million.
Manny Emua
Shut up. Yeah, that's never.
Laura Lee
The film has faced a lot of criticism. I'm reading Daily Mail, by the way. The film has faced a lot of criticism with the woke stars. Rachel Zegler.
Manny Emua
Yeah. And so why is. And the thing is like, too, have you noticed, too, like, a lot of the things they're always using, like, Rachel as the main, like, thing. It's not just like Disney's Snow White, it's Rachel in Snow White.
Laura Lee
A lot of backlash. A lot of back. The backlash has intensified when Zegler since deleted her tweet. Yes, I am Snow White and no, I am not gonna bleach my skin for the role.
Manny Emua
Oh. Because I think that that was one of the things they were saying, like, you're not white enough to be Snow White.
Laura Lee
I'm sure. I'm sure.
Manny Emua
See, I, I.
Laura Lee
And then, and then they got her again when she was criticized for saying, dismissing the themes of true love, which, by the way, that's what Snow White's about, for sure. And said it was weird and outdated.
Manny Emua
I mean. Yeah.
Laura Lee
And then she also said she wasn't a big fan of Snow White, didn't really watch it in her interviews, and then she just kind of got the role. So I think it's just piled 100. I think it just like, I think so too. And piled.
Manny Emua
I think that that is obviously a part of it for sure. I just think that's the only thing. Yeah, I just don't, I don't, I really don't. I think that's happening. No, totally. And it's like a complete flop.
Laura Lee
Absolutely on top of it.
Manny Emua
That I really think that it's just like one of those things. But I also don't Think that it is the worst thing of all time is what I'm trying to say.
Laura Lee
Yeah, I don't think that, like, other movies deserve.
Manny Emua
Yeah. Like, I don't. I think that a lot of people just. They don't like Rachel because she's like woke. And people are like, no, like traditional values. Like, no, absolutely. I don't want to be like about the woke life. So they're gonna like her up more and the movie more because it's like, no, we don't want woke. Like we. Whatever the it is. So I think that that adds to it upon like so many different layers of why it could be. But I just think it's crazy that it's rated the worst. And there's no world where I think that Disney spent that much money on a movie and it's the worst rated movie of all time.
Laura Lee
Right.
Manny Emua
Worse than Cats.
Laura Lee
Totally. Totally.
Manny Emua
Worse than Cats.
Laura Lee
Cats is rated above.
Manny Emua
There's no world.
Laura Lee
Anyways, it. It's not gonna go up from here. I think people aren't gonna be like, darn, we gotta. It's horrible.
Manny Emua
But I'm really intrigued.
Laura Lee
It makes me want to watch the movie Fortune. I know.
Manny Emua
It really makes me want to watch it. I'm not kidding.
Laura Lee
I am so tempted. I'm tempted to watch it, though. I don't think.
Manny Emua
I don't think so. And I'm sure some people.
Laura Lee
I don't think people are just doing this because of Rachel. I think it genuinely. It has to have some aspects of just being a shitty movie. I don't think it's just. I think it's a mixture.
Manny Emua
But imagine you watch it and it's like, that wasn't even that bad.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
That's crazy.
Laura Lee
Yeah. Neither of us have seen it, so we can't say that.
Manny Emua
No, I have to because I've seen.
Laura Lee
Many tick tocks of people walking out of the theater.
Manny Emua
No.
Laura Lee
Yes. Walking out. And then I play devil's advocate and I go, are they doing this for tick tock views?
Manny Emua
Oh, yeah.
Laura Lee
But then it's like, I don't know. Disney's made a ton of terrible movies, so.
Manny Emua
Absolutely.
Laura Lee
I mean, I don't know.
Manny Emua
Absolutely. But you want me to. The craziest aspect of all. All. What if Rachel's like the shining star of the movie and everything else sucks?
Laura Lee
That could be.
Manny Emua
That could literally be the case. Yeah, absolutely.
Laura Lee
Well, it's like, we don't really know until you see it.
Manny Emua
This is. Why do. What's funny? I. I mean, this is not the kind of like everyone Says, like, bad press is good press. This is the kind of press I would never want. Like, I don't want this kind of press. This is a horrific press for real. But, like, it does make me want to watch it more because it's the worst rate movie of all time.
Laura Lee
I know. Just. I mean, so bad about it. It.
Manny Emua
Because I have to know. I was like, is it. Is the CGI terrible? Are the songs terrible? Is the acting terrible? What is so bad about the movie? The storyline.
Laura Lee
The storyline, apparently.
Manny Emua
Right, right. But the thing is, like, there's been so many movies that were classics that they've turned completely different on their heads and have. People don't hate and I've been wrong.
Laura Lee
And people have loved it. And they actually compared all the different. Where they've changed up the Disney princess movies and they showed the ratings on them and they are through the roof. They showed the box office on them and they're through the roof. Loved it. So that's why. I don't know that that is the only thing that's making this a bad movie. And, like, that's why I think it's a storm.
Manny Emua
That's why I think it's a storm.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
I think that's why I'm like, first. So I'm like, so why are they coming For Rachel for being like, oh, I think we want to do more woke version of Snow White. Well, there's been so many versions.
Laura Lee
She handled it in her interview so arrogantly.
Manny Emua
Yeah. Not well. Just like she's.
Laura Lee
Whenever you're. You're saying there's something wrong with being in. She made it out to be, like, there's something wrong with being in love. And, like, women, you know, like, that's so bad for women to, like, want romance. Like, she put it out there like that. And I think that that also doesn't help women. No.
Manny Emua
And it also, like, it obviously does a whole. It makes it like a different tone.
Laura Lee
It does.
Manny Emua
It changes the vibes. Changes the tone.
Laura Lee
And that's what got her good 100%.
Manny Emua
And that was obviously a big thing.
Laura Lee
That was a learning experience for her.
Manny Emua
But you know what's crazy? That that literally happened like a year ago.
Laura Lee
I know. But the movie didn't come out.
Manny Emua
I know. So now, like, they all remember.
Laura Lee
Y'all remember. They never forgot, girl.
Manny Emua
I'm like, I can't remember how to.
Laura Lee
Eat yesterday, honestly, because that blew up so big. I literally think they were waiting.
Manny Emua
They were like this.
Laura Lee
And then I think the movie was just bad. So it's so it snowpiled like. It was like snowball. It was a snow white ball. You know what I mean? So you got a bad movie. Which, which what if it was like sickening like the Little Mermaid and like the other ones they recreated were so.
Manny Emua
They were so good.
Laura Lee
I think it would have piped people down a bit. But I think on top of of that, people are just waiting to hate it and then it turned out bad. So you're seek if you want to.
Manny Emua
Go into that, you're going to hate it. You're going to hate it. Like, let's be.
Laura Lee
So I feel like you think you're going to love this movie and you're not.
Manny Emua
No, I. I honestly think that I like Disney remakes. Like, I've always thought they think they've done a good job.
Laura Lee
So I'm just going in like Milan one this weekend. Yeah, I love Amazing.
Manny Emua
Me too. So that's to me, I'm just kind of like. I'm just curious to see what it's like. I'm more curious this because it's rated so poorly.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
So I'm like, I could honestly really dislike the movie and I'm like, you know, valid. But I just think it's crazy that people are dog.
Laura Lee
You're like, that is the worst. That sucked movie. No, people are definitely dog piling because 100 people. I think it's a bad movie. I don't think it's probably gonna be. I can't speak on it like that because I haven't seen it. Like, I can't. I think it's a bad movie. And then I think it got dogpiled.
Manny Emua
Because of extra from the press. Because that's what makes me really curious. I'm like, is it really bad?
Laura Lee
I think it's a combination.
Manny Emua
Or is it like decent or is it good? I don't think it's gonna be good. I'm thinking, don't give it good because I'm not gonna give it good.
Laura Lee
People are.
Manny Emua
I'm not gonna do it again. But is it like watchable?
Laura Lee
It is being like red.
Manny Emua
Yeah, it's gonna be red to fill. So I'm sure. But. But you know what's crazy? I've seen critics being like, Rachel's a shining star in it. Oh, so actual critics. Movie critics. So I'm literally like, what's happening?
Laura Lee
You need to go see it. I'm gonna watch it because I'm not watching.
Manny Emua
But see, the thing is, I'm more of like a wait till Disney plus.
Laura Lee
Absolutely. That's Why? I waited for Moana.
Manny Emua
Like, I don't know if I can.
Laura Lee
Do, like, go to theater. Lots of kids and stuff.
Manny Emua
Yeah. Go to the theater to watch that alone. I just don't think that's happening for me.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Disney plus I will wait. I have the subscription. Okay.
Laura Lee
What do you think Disney executives are thinking right now with their.
Manny Emua
I think they're literally having a heart attack.
Laura Lee
I think they're.
Manny Emua
Because they're also, like, bleeding money. They're bleeding money. Disney.
Laura Lee
Oh, yeah. And Disney was already flopping. Disney was already flopping these past few years. Like, they've been hurting. That's factual. And so now this bomb disaster in 2025. You have the lowest rate of MIA. IMDb like, you know, Disney is like.
Manny Emua
They're screaming honestly right now, doing, like, kind of, like giving them hope. And, like, that is their animated stuff. And Marvel.
Laura Lee
Marvel.
Manny Emua
That's the only thing that's really, like, Disney's like, we need one of two.
Laura Lee
Blew it out of the box office.
Manny Emua
That's what I'm saying. Like, they're animated stuff.
Laura Lee
Okay.
Manny Emua
And Marvel is, like, really, like, they need. Because honestly, they're. They're driving the Star wars stuff into the ground.
Laura Lee
They are. They. They so really had so many of their TV shows for Star wars because they drove it into the ground.
Manny Emua
They drove into the ground.
Laura Lee
So it's like, also, Marvel has gotten multiple terrible movies because they're driving into the ground.
Manny Emua
But see, now they're restarting the, like, universe, I believe. I think they're, like, redoing it. And I'm like, girl, who the knows what's going to happen on that one? Good luck. I'm a Marvel fan, so I'm like, please, like, don't fuck that shit up. Up. But I really don't know what's gonna.
Laura Lee
Happen with that because I really. Okay, Manny, it's up to you to report back on Snow White. And I want an honest opinion.
Manny Emua
I will give my honest opinion. I'm not. I'm gonna be so for real about it. Like, I'm gonna go. I'm going in completely blank.
Laura Lee
Okay?
Manny Emua
Like, I'm not gonna go in thinking I'm gonna love it. I'm not going anything. I'm gonna hate it.
Laura Lee
Okay?
Manny Emua
I'm gonna go in, like, I go in to any, like, Disney remake where I'm kind of like, it could be terrible.
Laura Lee
It simply can't be the worst rated movie.
Manny Emua
I just know there's no.
Laura Lee
You know, what movie is one of the worst movies of all time? I must Speak on it because it came out and they. He did not watch it. I believe it's called Trap with Josh Hartnett. That should be the low. One of the lowest rated. Is that the one where it's like, of all time.
Manny Emua
He's like a bad guy and he's a child.
Laura Lee
Yes. And they're at the concert. Such a bad. It's bad.
Manny Emua
I've never seen it.
Laura Lee
It is so stupid. Like, it's like, I wrote the movie. I know I shouldn't on myself like that.
Manny Emua
You're like, you know what?
Laura Lee
No, I can't give yourself, like, how did did this happen?
Manny Emua
So it's. It's horrific is what you're telling me.
Laura Lee
It's on Netflix and they keep. And Hulu and they keep, like, posting it, like, over. And I'm like, I'm not. I watched it. It's horrible.
Manny Emua
You watch the whole thing?
Laura Lee
I watched the whole thing. There's. Damn. You didn't even click off world where Snow White is worse than this.
Manny Emua
Got it.
Laura Lee
There's no. That's what.
Manny Emua
You know.
Laura Lee
Okay, let me see what I got on the rotten. Because this is where you cannot. Oh, M. Night Shyamalan.
Manny Emua
Damn. I like M. Night.
Laura Lee
And you know, I love, love him now he up on this one.
Manny Emua
So wait, so how bad is it rated? Or is it rated?
Laura Lee
Well, I want to see. Okay, Trash.
Manny Emua
What if it's rated really good? It's you.
Laura Lee
No. There's no world. I refuse to believe that. I will not. I will not take that so terrible. I could cry.
Manny Emua
Lord. No.
Laura Lee
It's just like 57 splat on rotten tomato.
Manny Emua
So that means it's bad, right?
Laura Lee
Yeah, they got the green splat. Mm. It's bad. It's a really bad movie. If you guys watched it and liked it. I don't want to hear about that.
Manny Emua
You're like, don't even tell me that. If you loved it. You guys, do not answer that. You loved it.
Laura Lee
It's. It's not.
Manny Emua
You better agree with Laura on this one. Yeah, I will not be watching it.
Laura Lee
Because this is not in Shyamalan's best work. Yeah, it's not his worst work, but yeah, it's not good.
Manny Emua
Guys, what if we did a whole series on full coverage bridge where we.
Laura Lee
Just broke down movies?
Manny Emua
Horrible, horrible movies that were. It's like, why the are we doing this? That's really funny.
Laura Lee
So crazy.
Manny Emua
It's so crazy, dude.
Laura Lee
So don't watch.
Manny Emua
So don't watch.
Laura Lee
So don't watch.
Manny Emua
But Snow White, I do feel like I'M gonna have to watch.
Laura Lee
Or if some of you guys want to see. That's a plane movie.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
If some of you guys saw it, tell us, do you really think it was that bad? And it could be so for real.
Manny Emua
For real.
Laura Lee
Because it could be like, if it.
Manny Emua
Honestly is worse, I think it has.
Laura Lee
You better say, I think the movie has to be bad.
Manny Emua
For sure.
Laura Lee
It's just the question now, does it deserve to be the lowest rating on For Sure?
Manny Emua
I have to know if it's like, is it actually decent and they're just trolling or is it actually bad and it's warranted? I have to know. I'm not saying is it great? Because I just don't think it's gonna be a great movie.
Laura Lee
There's no way.
Manny Emua
There's just no way I would that. But I'm like, is it, like, decent, like, where it's like, oh, it was like. Like a chill watch.
Laura Lee
Was it the Rachel girl in the Hunger Games? Yes, and I loved her in it. She was really, really, really. It was the Mockingjay.
Manny Emua
Yes. Where she was like, the main girl. But, yeah, like, yeah. The songbird, the ballad.
Laura Lee
She was amazing.
Manny Emua
Amazing in that.
Laura Lee
So she's a really good actor and.
Manny Emua
A good singer, so I'm like, I feel like she would do good at.
Laura Lee
Something happened.
Manny Emua
That. Something's fierce. Something's fierce happening.
Laura Lee
Okay. And our last topic before we go is Tick tock. Ban.
Manny Emua
It's gonna happen. You think?
Laura Lee
I don't know.
Manny Emua
They say on the fifth, it's happening.
Laura Lee
Oh, for real? Like, they're gonna block.
Manny Emua
Well, that's. That's August the fifth. No, May. April, baby. The day after my birthday. August. August 5th. Where did August even come from? First of all, what the.
Laura Lee
Me being delusional. Okay, so we have to.
Manny Emua
August. So basically, they're saying that, like, the time is up for the. The. For the deal to be done is actually the fifth. Right. That's when the deal is supposed to be done. But the thing is, Trump has said, like, oh, I can extend it if I want to.
Laura Lee
Oh, so he'll extend.
Manny Emua
So I think that he'll extend it. I do think that he will, because there is a lot of obviously, interest. But the thing is, if TikTok sells, they're not selling the algorithm. They've already said, oh, no. They're like, that's actually not going. Yeah, we're like, we're not. I was like, that's not for sale. Because that's a worldwide, like, thing. Like, so if we do sell TikTok Tock. The algorithm doesn't go with it. You just can have Tick Tock itself.
Laura Lee
Well, then that's what make Tick Tock great special.
Manny Emua
I mean, that's. And that's obviously. And Tick Tock knows that. So, like, we're not selling that part. You can have Tick tock though. So I wonder what would happen. I'm really curious to know. Like, let's say does, you know, divest and they gets rid of their, you know, their portion from the US and the US acquires the US portion. Would it be so drastically different if the. The algorithm is no longer there and they have to redo the whole algorithm?
Laura Lee
I don't know.
Manny Emua
I think it would be drastically different, actually. I think it'd be a whole different app.
Laura Lee
The reels algorithm is too. It's too spooky, it's too sensitive. Like, if you like one food video, you'll never see another video. You will only see food for the right till for six months. Like, they. They need to thin out their algorithm.
Manny Emua
Or at least spread it.
Laura Lee
Yeah, spread it.
Manny Emua
You have a couple, just like TikTok does where you have a couple interest. They show you different things constantly where it's like, oh, this could be your interest.
Laura Lee
Yes. Oh, they could like a little of this, a little that they sprinkle in. And like, because I follow a lot of beauty people, all my real algorithm shows me is beauty stuff. And I don't want to watch anything beauty or car wrecks. Still getting the car wrecks. I scroll off of them so fast. But I think I liked one or sent one to someone and Lord help.
Manny Emua
You, I get a lot of like, like funny dog cat videos. Actually. I literally just sent Laura one, I think late last night where I was like, this literally cracked me because it was funny. It was literally a compilation of cats up their owners and jumping behind them. Yes, yes. And slicing them down.
Laura Lee
Who did that to Ty?
Manny Emua
Yes, that literally. That's what made me think of it. I'd screw. I would literally freak out. There was one where the cat grabbed.
Laura Lee
The old man by the head and honk. Oh, I know that hurt.
Manny Emua
No, there's one. This girl was putting her mascara on and the cat is like on her head, she's like this.
Laura Lee
That one's so funny.
Manny Emua
It was so funny. They're funny.
Laura Lee
Like cats are funny.
Manny Emua
But see, I would freak out if a cat scratch me.
Laura Lee
Cats will whoop your ass. They'll beat your ass and have no mercy. No, that's why I tell people night. Yes, I Did.
Manny Emua
Let me tell you something. You know, I'm obsessed with. In that show. Lori.
Laura Lee
Y.
Manny Emua
She's my.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Favorite person. Other than the mother, of course. That. She's like my. My. She's my. My woman. But Lori.

I love when she's like, you're narcissistic.
Laura Lee
Yep. Clocked.
Manny Emua
You guys. You guys have to watch.
Laura Lee
Like, I like her friend, Leslie Bibb. I can't remember her name. The friend. I just don't think it's that big of a deal.
Manny Emua
You. It's fine. She's like. And you're a fake ass. No, I Honestly, I'm obsessed because, like, their dynamic is just so. Them three together is such a fascinating.
Laura Lee
They should never be friends.
Manny Emua
No. It just didn't work.
Laura Lee
No, no, no, no.
Manny Emua
It doesn't work.
Laura Lee
It doesn't work. The mom's everything. I know.
Manny Emua
Tsunami.
Laura Lee
Specific person.
Manny Emua
I'm obsessed. Well, I love her. And then when she was like, I can get you out of here. And the girl's like, I love that man.
Laura Lee
She's like, I feel like that's me when I talk to people.
Manny Emua
It is.
Laura Lee
It is. You're like, so why are you with him? It's so rich. They're like, I love him. I'm like, no, you don't.
Manny Emua

Manny Emua
It's so well done. I'm obsessed.
Laura Lee
And then there are people that are like, do we love this season? I'm like, yes. This is such a good.
Manny Emua
So well written.
Laura Lee
I love this season.
Manny Emua
So beautifully shot and like.
Laura Lee
Yeah.
Manny Emua
Might not be having action sequences every single moment. It. But it's not every show is about action. It's about how it's done and, like, the way it's shot and about, like.
Laura Lee
The storytelling have attention spans.
Manny Emua
Maybe that's why.
Laura Lee
Or patience anymore.
Manny Emua
That's probably what it is.
Laura Lee
And White Lotus is a slow burn. And it's not. Did you do action in your face 24 7. You know what I mean? You have to listen and wait for it. And people don't like that.
Manny Emua
And they don't. They hate that.
Laura Lee
They hate that.
Manny Emua
They, like. They don't want the anticipation.
Laura Lee
I love just how it shot.
Manny Emua
Me too.
Laura Lee
So richly done. Are you watching Gemstones New seasons out?
Manny Emua
I haven't seen new season yet.
Laura Lee
Yeah, it's really funny. This is the last season. I think they have three episodes. I know.
Manny Emua
I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'll maybe wait for like five.
Laura Lee
So I can. And Danny McBride said he's taking a break after this.
Manny Emua
So he's done.
Laura Lee
Yeah, he's gonna. I know. I'm so bummed.
Manny Emua
Oh, he's like, I'm tired.
Laura Lee
Yeah, he's tired.
Manny Emua
I would be too.
Laura Lee
Cuz he did Eastbound and Down. Straight to ton of movies in between that, by the way. And then straight to vice principal, straight to Gemstones for the past four years. So it's like been non stop probably for like 15, 20 years for him.
Manny Emua
I need to enjoy the money I just made.
Laura Lee
I know that's probably what he's thinking. Oh yeah. And you know he lives in North Carolina.
Manny Emua
Oh yeah.
Laura Lee
They shoot it all out there.
Manny Emua
He probably has a compound out there.
Laura Lee
Oh, girl. Like the gym. Salt is real life. That's literally his house.
Manny Emua
He's like, I literally live here, child.
Laura Lee
You better trust.
Manny Emua
Oh, I love that for him.
Laura Lee
Better trust. I do too. I love that for him because of all the deserves it he's giving me.
Manny Emua
Yeah, you're like, you're like, I love that for him.
Laura Lee
He deserves it all ups at all but making it. But make another show. Hire someone.
Manny Emua
Don't leave me hanging, please.
Laura Lee
I feel like his, his spin on things though. That stupid comedy. That's just like the way Judy is, you know, I feel like that's him.
Manny Emua
Yeah.
Laura Lee
And like without him, you're not gonna get that. If he were to make a show, he didn't do the like some of the writing and creating like you're not gonna get that in your face. Like baby Billy.
Manny Emua
Yes.
Laura Lee
A fool, A fool.
Manny Emua
Just get a fool.
Laura Lee
Oh my God. You're gonna love baby Billy with the nanny. Me. It's so funny because you know, baby Billy has two little babies and he's always like, go get, get out of here. Get this kid's. He'll take this one too. Now get out of here.
Manny Emua
You sound just like it, dude. And it's so funny, that role. And then there's White Lotus.
Laura Lee
Him, Walter.
Manny Emua
Such a. Just a shockingly different person, baby.
Laura Lee
That's range.
Manny Emua
That is range.
Laura Lee
And he's. And he's doing the character at the same time because the TV shows are airing at the same time. So he's going back and he's like filming mentally. Oh, I'd be like, what the.
Manny Emua
Like me too. I'd be like baby Billy in White Lotus.
Laura Lee
Oh my God. Because this role, so deeply serious.
Manny Emua
It's like, it's like dark and sad.
Laura Lee
Could it be possibly more different in Gemstones?
Manny Emua
It's crazy. No, I do know why. I also love just like loud last tidbit about White Lotus is the one with the teeth. The girl from the teeth that we were talking about last time when. When he was talk. When she was talking about, like, you know, like he saw his, like, parents and he told. And she's like, yeah, she's such a supportive friend.
Laura Lee
I love him. She so deeply calls out the Arnold Schwarzenegger's kid.
Manny Emua
Yes. Patrick.
Laura Lee
Patrick. What's his name on the show? I don't know. I remember him.
Manny Emua
I know older brother Lynn is the little one. I just don't know the other one.
Laura Lee
She's so. She's just like, because you don't have a song.
Manny Emua
You don't have a song.
Laura Lee
She didn't even try date him. She's so deeply serious. And then he was like hating all the. All the old men with the young wives. She's like, that's what you're gonna be.
