Okay? Now, the last is a lot. The last is a full lie. Oh, my God, honey. It's like, I always, like, say this to her. I was like, someone doesn't think I'm cute.

[B]

I'm just gonna say point blank. It's the best.

[A]

It's the best.

[B]

So should we start with peaks or should we start with pale?

[A]

I actually remember my pit Start now.

[B]

Because you might forget.

[A]

I will. You know, I have a mind of a goldfish. Okay. So I had a dream that, you know, dreams get. Nope. We didn't battle. We didn't battle. We didn't battle. Thank God.

[B]

Thank God.

[A]

But you know how dreams can get hairy. Well, I had a dream that we were. Me and Ty had to go to Desi's house to pick up something. We were in the house. I don't know what the item was we had to pick up because I can't remember it, but I remember there were a pair of sunglasses on the counter, and we were leaving her house, and we were going on a boat. Oh, we were going on a boat in the river, just me and Ty. And there were some sunglasses on the counter. And I was like, look, I need some shades for the boat. Like, it's all. I didn't bring those shades. The bitch got shades everywhere. Shades everywhere. There was this pair of shades. They were weird. I think I was. I think there was some Dolce and Gabbana, because one lens was a big D and one was a big G. They were bad, Desi. They're bad shades. They're ugly. But it was. It's a dream. So everything is just funky and weird, distorted. So I grabbed the Dolce and Gabbana shades. It was a D. A D. And it D. That would be funny. I swear, she comes out with that lawsuit.

[B]

Desi, we do give you the rights for dp.

[A]

Yes, for DP Sunglasses. Okay. So I take them, and I'm like, whatever. Like, the girl's got a million pairs. She'll never know. So I steal the sunglasses, and we're on the boat, and it hits me like a rock. She's got cameras in her house, and she. And these sunglasses were made for someone.

[B]

You bitching you?

[A]

And she had made these sunglasses for someone. So now I need to figure out how to get the sunglasses back to her before she notices they're gone, because there's cameras, and my ass is going to be grass. So I was, like, even thinking, like, if I saw an event, I could slip them into her purse.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

And then I woke up. So I don't know. So I don't know.

[B]

We have no closure.

[A]

We have no closure on the dream at all.

[B]

I know the anxiety you felt in the dream was real.

[A]

It. Oh, I was.

[B]

I know, Manny.

[A]

When I realized she had cameras in our house, I felt like I was gonna my heart out. And that's how I felt when I woke. Like, I felt anxiety.

[B]

I felt when you wake up in a panic.

[A]

I felt sick. Like, I felt sick to myself and I woke up and I was like, are you kidding me?

[B]

You're like, of all things, nothing is wrong, you know, Dead ass does. He'd be like, girl, take them in real life.

[A]

I texted her. I literally was like, hey, girl, I had a dream that I stole some sunglasses that you made for somebody. I don't know who it was, but I was like, I didn't take them. I didn't take.

[B]

You wake up at four in the morning, you text her. So listen, I just.

[A]

I just had the craziest bug and.

[B]

I didn't take the. You're going to be really mad at me.

[A]

I know she was laughing, cackling, but what a bizarre dream.

[B]

That is a weird. Honestly, I hate.

[A]

Don't take a bonus on glasses of.

[B]

All hate, a anxious dream where you wake up and you're so anxious. Because the thing is, it doesn't, like, stomach. It doesn't leave you for a while.

[A]

Yeah. It took me a moment to like, come to and realize, like, oh, my God, it's all fake. It's all fake. It's not.

[B]

Have you ever. Have you ever had a dream where you got in a fight with Tyler in your dream and then you woke up and you're kind of annoyed with Tyler?

[A]

I have not had a dream. I got a fight, but I had a dream where he, like, cheated on me and I caught or like, things like that. Or he was like doing something with someone else and I was mad at him.

[B]

In real life.

[A]

Yeah, of course.

[B]

Is that so weird? Because it feels so real. I honestly. How dare you.

[A]

How dare you.

[B]

How dare. Dream you cry dream. How dare you get into my head like that.

[A]

Yeah, but it's.

[B]

Isn't it so weird that, like, you can wake up and still feel the same emotions because the dream felt so real.

[A]

Yes, it's.

[B]

It's weird. Like, I can like. Like a family member of mine has annoyed me in a dream and I literally was like, I woke up annoyed with them and I'm like, no, I talk to you.

[A]

Have you ever died in a dream? I have a bunch of times. Multiple.

[B]

I think it's like, where I'm getting to the point where I'm about to die. I wake up. Like, I'm almost like. We're like. Let's say I hit the ground. I wake up.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like I'm falling or I get, like I'm about to get murdered. I will wake up like, the second I'm about To have. It's about to happen in a weird way. Like, right the second I'm like. Let's say plat. I'm like, I, like, wake up. So I haven't really technically like, died and, like, been, like, dead in the dream where I'm like, dead on the ground.

[A]

You know, the worst is whenever you're trying to scream or punch someone. But in the. Isn't that the worst feeling in the world, Laura? That's happened almost so many times. Yes. There's no sound, but, like, the hit, it's like, yes. That's worse than dying.

[B]

I agree. I agree. Because that, to me, like, I've done that where, like, I have screamed in a dream, but no sound happens.

[A]

Nothing.

[B]

And that is almost like the most daunting.

[A]

And then you're trying to fight your way out, but not like, it's like slow motion and like, it. That is the worst.

[B]

Man, that feels almost like sleep paralysis vibe.

[A]

Or just like, weird sleep paralysis.

[B]

There's some weird, like, something with that. Because for you not to be able to, like, or to even, like, emote and like, I have had sleep paralysis one time in my whole life, and I just don't want to ever experience it again.

[A]

Do you know that I have had sleep paralysis more times than I can count on my hand?

[B]

You're joking.

[A]

But when I have it, nothing bad is happening to me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, there's no demon getting me.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

I just am dead asleep. But I am so aware, like, I'm there. I'm conscious, I'm asleep. Sleep. And I can't wake myself up.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

But nothing bad's happening. And I've had it. Oh, I had it all the time growing up. And I've had. Yeah. So it never scared me.

[B]

Yeah. Or just like, it felt normal almost.

[A]

Yeah. Well, just because nothing bad happened. Because you know that people will say, like, something's trying to get you and you're trying to wake up or like, almost having that.

[B]

Like, it's like this weird illusion.

[A]

Yeah. But it didn't happen that way for me. It was just like, I knew. And I kind of liked having it because it was like an interesting feeling because. Yeah. Yeah, it was very, like, introspective.

[B]

Kind of like I'm in my body right now, but I can't do anything.

[A]

Yes. Like that. That's what it was like for me. Just like, that was me.

[B]

Yeah. You're like, yeah, what am I gonna think about right now? What kind of cool ideas am I gonna come up with?

[A]

Asleep.

[B]

I'M so rested, but I can still be awake and punch.

[A]

It almost feels like you're high or something.

[B]

It's weird.

[A]

It's weird. But love a little sleep for hours, honestly. Everyone needs a little kiss.

[B]

I'll take it. As long as it's not like the nightmare kind.

[A]

Yeah, right.

[B]

Yeah, mine, when I did it, I did, like, have more of like a nightmare.

[A]

I think a lot of people do.

[B]

So it was really strange experience. I don't want to do that again. I don't experience that again. Yeah, my pet is just so funny because just like, it's just so funny when you have a dog who is so. You have a smart dog. And so Zaya this morning. So I feed her in the afternoon every single day. She gets like. She gets her hard food all day, but then I give her her, like, chicken. She gets like, in the afternoon every single time. She gets it around like two or three. That's just her normal routine.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So this morning when I woke up, she didn't have any of the hard foods. I hard food for her so she can have it while I'm gone doing the podcast. And I come home and I feed her her chicken again. I go upstairs and I hear a tin banging and I'm like. So Isaiah comes upstairs. She lays in the bed next to me while I'm glamming because I have a bed in there for her because she likes to sometimes be with me during the glam. Just like, you know, Boo is with you.

[A]

Oh, girl.

[B]

She'll do the same thing with me, but she'll lay in her bed next to me. So then I go downstairs.

[A]

What did the.

[B]

She decided to go to up to her food because she thought it probably had chicken in it. She was trying to search for the chicken. She, like, with her nose flips over all the food. Just foods all over the kitchen, hard food everywhere. And I'm literally like, baby. She says as I'm about to walk out, by the way, where. Where's my chicken?

[A]

The chicken.

[B]

What's not clicking?

[A]

The mashed potatoes and the grain.

[B]

Yes. She got so pissed at me that I didn't give her. Her. Her soft food when I give her her hard food this time that she decided to spill it everywhere. And she comes upstairs like, I think.

[A]

It'S so good that you have a dog to punish you.

[B]

She humbles me. She does. Daily.

[A]

She does. And I feel like you're such a divalicious diva in the best possible way. I don't mean this in a nasty way at all. I mean, in the best possible way. It's a true. You're such a divalicious diva that you.

[B]

She brings me like this.

[A]

Yes. She's like, I'm gonna show you diva, bitch.

[B]

She's like this. And it almost feels correct, her being my dog, like, because she's a diva.

[A]

So correct.

[B]

It just feels right, like your dog.

[A]

Was down to earth and just like, doesn't care. I would know.

[B]

She actually. You know what's funny? I just come to realize she's. She's actually the fun police. And I didn't even realize this that she is. There's like this dog that's on a tick tock that cracks me if I send it to my mom, where it's like a little poodle that looks like Zaya. And then there's another dog and the other dog's having fun. The other poodle comes up and it's like, don't have fun. And then we'll bark. So whenever I'm doing human stuff with, like, my assistant, if I hug her or we're having fun, she'll bark.

[A]

So she's the fun.

[B]

She doesn't like when people are having fun. So I'll like, for example, I'll hug my assistant.

[A]

She goes, what a nasty, nasty bitch.

[B]

She's like, if she's not being held, she's not being held while we're having fun. She doesn't want that.

[A]

Fun's not about her pissed. No one needs to have it angry.

[B]

And mind you, she's been doing that since she was like 1 years old. So it's not like she's a. Since she's an older woman now, it's not her old age grump. She's been like this, wow. If she's not. If she's not the center of the attention, she's pissed.

[A]

Damn, my cats are getting really old. Yoshi in cat years is 80.

[B]

No.

[A]

Yeah. And Lou is 60 in cat.

[B]

Oh my God. I forget. Like, blue just looks young.

[A]

He does look young, but he's 11, so he's around 60. And then Boo Boo is around between 30s and 40s.

[B]

Got it. And cat year. So wait, so I know dogs is seven. So what's cat?

[A]

It's similar, but you have to like, add a certain amount of years per year of their life. So it's not seven through and through.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

So you. I had to google it.

[B]

So it's almost like a. Like a different kind of subtraction. Like it changes almost throughout the years. Okay, got it.

[A]

But a half Cat will live from, like, 15. Like a house.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

From 15 to 18 years. And that's 18. I mean, you're good.

[B]

That's a long.

[A]

Somehow cats can live to 20. But that's not an average. You know, that's.

[B]

Of course, that's an outlier.

[A]

That's an outlier. But I know it makes me so.

[B]

But they live so good. Like, it's because they live good lives. So they're obviously going to be alive longer when they, you know, have it. So look, they're over. You're over here feeding them.

[A]

Yeah. She's already, like, 13. 13, 13, 14.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Because we got her as an adult.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And the pound or vet or shelter that we got.

[B]

Shelter.

[A]

Did not know. Like, a pinpoint dime on her age estimate. They were like, she's two or three.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Two, three, four. Like somewhere in there.

[B]

Yeah. In that range.

[A]

Yeah. So she's 10 years. 14. Well, we've had. For 11 years.

[B]

Oh, got it.

[A]

We've been in LA for 11 years, and I got her like, the first second.

[B]

You got.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So it's so crazy.

[A]

I know.

[B]

But, you know, she still. But she'll be. She'll be zooming still.

[A]

She does zoom still. She does.

[B]

And she'll battle the other one.

[A]

She feels like a bag of bones, though, whenever you pick her up. Like, really. So old. Yes.

[B]

Oh, she's just the sweetest angel. And she just loves to be everywhere. I just love her so much. She's my favorite.

[A]

We're trying to cherish every.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

Every moment with her because we're like, you don't have a lot of time.

[B]

I know. I hate. I don't even like thinking about it.

[A]

I don't either. I don't either.

[B]

But, yeah, animals are so funny and just absolutely ridiculous. And it's just funny that I have a diva.

[A]

[A]

What's your peak?

[B]

My peak. I wrote this down.

[A]

Well, mine are salt.

[B]

Oh my God.

[A]

Do yours.

[B]

Do yours. Honey.

[A]

Our salt talk came back at minim la. We have a new shade. We have our gray shade which we've never done before. So use Manny's code by the way.

[B]

Yeah, use code anyway for this. You guys. The socks are sickening. The shoot for the socks was sickening.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Can we talk about the shoot for the socks? You're being in the aerobics gear, like, kidding.

[A]

I was watching a movie and the opening of the movie was the music video by Eric Perez, Call on Me. It's like a famous song from the 80s.

[B]

The substance. You're watching this. Do you remember the substance?

[A]

So many people were like, oh, this reminds me of substance. But I actually got it from the Calm Me music video because it's these girls in the 80s. Louisard. It's like the sexiest music video I've ever seen.

[B]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[A]

It's an iconic music video. But I just. Because I was watching a movie. The they. The opening of the movie is a bunch of guys in the military watching that and like getting off and like, that's hot. But I was like, yeah, it is hot.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And so they're all wearing slouch socks in there. I was like, this is it. And that happened six months before our shoot. That's so I've had that idea planted in my brain and we finally executed. I didn't want it to be like cosplay 80s, you know, like, like all the way there. I want it to be like if 20, 25 and 80s created met, we met and we pull inspo, you know. But it turned out better than I ever could have.

[B]

Just like it was inspo. I loved the shoe. Your body looked insane.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Like, I also like love that like almost like nylon thing on the leg where it gives a shine. It just looks cool.

[A]

We. I bought three different pair of pantyhose for that shoe because we were like, what is this gonna look like with the flash?

[B]

Exactly like what's gonna give?

[A]

And the first pair I tried on, it was just perfection. Lucky dog. Lucky dog.

[B]

Love that. Yeah, no, they look amazing. You guys definitely check out the socks because like the shoe for the socks was so.

[A]

Thank you. I know some people were comment, they're like, I. I'm just buying the socks. I don't want soft socks.

[B]

So good.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

And also they're. I mean fall is like kind of upon us.

[A]

Perfect timing.

[B]

That's like my peak week.

[A]

What is that?

[B]

Literally like, I wait, I did. I decorated my bag job for like YouTube slash tick tock call time. And I went to. Yesterday after I left your house, I went to Home Goods and I'm just grabbing a bunch of like little like I did. I filmed it. I just posted it today actually this morning I posted like a little like come with me and like let's shop video.

[A]

Love that.

[B]

And it turned out so cute. I honestly loved how it turned out. Honestly. Home Goods can be really spooky and it has a lot of shitty things in there. But if you like really hunt through, like, you know, you have to dig. You can find some like really cutesy, like things. So I ended up. That's. That's my like my peak that I gotta start decorating for like fall slash Halloween. I end up just doing Halloween decor because we're like in September. So I'm like, girl, yeah, that's gonna last me two months. I just like Halloween decor too.

[A]

I think it just. This is the thing. I don't want summer to go away as far as like the time change is detrimental to me.

[B]

Oh, Laura. My next episode's pit is that I'm noticing it getting darker.

[A]

So sick.

[B]

Early.

[A]

So sick. I'm pissed. I will go to bed at 4 o'.

[B]

Clock. She will.

[A]

I will go to bed at 4 o' clock because, baby, when the Lights are out. It's time.

[B]

You're out.

[A]

It's time out. And it really me up because I can't get anything done because I'm so tired for half a year.

[B]

Huh.

[A]

And then I like, rise from the dead ashes.

[B]

Literally asleep at 8pm yes.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Physically.

[A]

Baby down 10 hours a night.

[B]

Oh, yeah. She wakes up like, yeah, that's where when she wakes up.

[A]

Hello, fresh.

[B]

I love you. I'm like, okay, she just slept for 20 hours.

[A]

Literally. I'll like, start a bath. My grandmother.

[B]

Yes. She dips in. She gets young again.

[A]

That's why we sell body products.

[B]

Yeah. She's like, gets out. But yeah, that. I. I love Halloween decor. I love fall decor. I just love the vibes of it because to me, it's like you can actually decorate for something. You know what I mean? Like, whereas in the summertime, you don't, like, decorate for summer.

[A]

Yeah, it's that kind of fun that.

[B]

You gotta, like, do something fun.

[A]

That's why I love the end of the year too. But I wouldn't mind if we could get a little more light and if the hot weather could just, like, carry us home through October. Let me absorb my summer because, you know, I'm like a lizard.

[B]

I'm living for it to be slightly chillier. Oh, I need. I want to wear things like this. I think that's why it's like, even today, I was like, really risking it because this is heavy and I'm like, this is risky.

[A]

You're trying to turn that.

[B]

You know what's funny? I literally brought two extra shirts just in case I got too hot. Swear to God, I was like, if I get too hot, I will change mid episode. Don't give a.

[A]

You gotta surrender to the heat, man. Never. What is that mean to.

[B]

Okay, but you. What's funny? I've noticed that as I've like, got healthier, have lost some more weight along with my health weight journey, I'm less hot. The, like, as I've gotten, like, less weight. Does that make sense? I almost like, feel like because I. When I was larger or when I just had like, more weight on me, I almost got hot faster because I just have more on me and on your body. And as I've gotten, you know, more healthy, more like fitness disorientated and lost some weight, I actually don't feel as hot or as like, exponentially, like, can't deal with it. Hot as I have before.

[A]

I saw a girl post a TikTok and it went viral because it was hilarious. What Was it I got skinny and it's not all that it's cracked up to be. I was cold the entire time. Going back to being pat again. They said I was cold the entire time. Fuck this. They were like, I'm going back to being fat. I was like, oh, my God.

[B]

Honestly, there's really something because I've always just been, like, the bigger boy. And I just always. I've always been the biggest. No, I've been, like, tall and, like, I've just had big. Like, I've never.

[A]

Not back or shoulder. Yes, maybe, but never big.

[B]

I've never been, like, I. Again, I've never been. I've been obese.

[A]

You've never.

[B]

Medically, I'm not letting this go. My doctor told me I was obese medically, and I've never let it down. Okay? But I'm out of obesity now. Just so we're clear. So when I was obese, I got hot faster, okay? And now that I'm not medically obese, I don't get as hot as quick. And I. It's actually quite shocking and I would love to get into a world where I am actually cold. What's that like, Laura? What's it like to be cold?

[A]

I'm telling you all about because I.

[B]

Don'T know what cold is like.

[A]

So whenever you get inside of a car on a hot summer day, after you've been in an air conditioning room, that's like defrosting for me. I like, am I.

[B]

So it's almost like opposite, where I go into AC and I'm like, thank God.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So it's opposite, where you're literally going into the heat.

[A]

You're like, yes, you're coming alive. That's exactly what I'm telling you. I come back, I'm like, oh, I'm defrosting right now. I'm like, don't crack a window yet. Like, give me a second.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

So this girl, she was anemic on TikTok. She was like, oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

When you're anemic, you see it inside of a car on a hot summer day and, like, you defrost. And I was like, oh, my God. There's no original experience. I thought I was the only person.

[B]

Who likes when you don't.

[A]

You have low iron. I've been anemic before. It's just, I think. Listen, I'm not a medical professional. Please do not be like, well, Laura said it, so. But I'm pretty sure it's low iron. It's an iron Deficiency.

[B]

Gotcha.

[A]

So you get cold easier. But I've definitely been anemic before because I've tried to get blood and they're like, no, but.

[B]

Oh, yes.

[A]

This. I had no idea.

[B]

That's the why you've gone like. You would get cold at times too.

[A]

I probably have low iron. Yeah. But Ty tried to buy me supplements, but they look like poopy. They're like brown and gooey and stuck together in the jar and they stank. I was like, I cannot take a pill.

[B]

Why would it be a gummy tie?

[A]

I'm just gonna be cold. But surrendering to the heat. Smell like you gotta surrender to the heat.

[B]

I've surrendered too much.

[A]

We as humans are too comfortable.

[B]

I've surrendered.

[A]

I'm not surrendered to the heat. You have never. You have never.

[B]

We were in Florida. I surrendered a bit.

[A]

There was no heat.

[B]

There was when.

[A]

No, no, no, no.

[B]

There was sun and there was warmth.

[A]

I didn't even heat.

[B]

I didn't even eat.

[A]

I did it partly cloudy and 85 degrees.

[B]

No. What was the. What was the. We did have one at least like really good one. The boat day was. It was warm and it was like sunny. That was lovely.

[A]

It was perfect.

[B]

And I surrendered. Let me tell you that I think. Is that it?

[A]

That's it.

[B]

Okay. Period. Let's get into our. Our hot topics. Let's go into the hot topics. James Tyler's our James. It's realized. Our Wendy Williams James Tyler is our James.

[A]

By the way, he's gonna be in one of our episodes coming up, so.

[B]

Oh, get ready.

[A]

I seen Yalls requests.

[B]

Shred him.

[A]

I've seen Yalls requests in the comments and I am always listening, always keeping.

[B]

An eye out for Selener. Speaking of Selena.

[A]

Pulling up these little toppings.

[B]

Okay. Before. Okay, let me. Let's just do a quick continuation follow up from one of our other episodes where we talked about Austin McBroom. Catherine McBroom. We talked about the situation where Austin was invited to the wedding. She's getting married. When we filmed the episode, after we had filmed, it was announced that he was uninvited to the wedding. And when we uploaded we were like.

[A]

I'm pissed that he makes me laugh at his shit.

[B]

I pisses me off. It's because the. The audacity is so.

[A]

It is audacity. But he's always like. I say, he's all. I can tell. He's always like part way serious with it.

[B]

Yeah. He's a caricature.

[A]

He's a caricature. He got uninvited to the wedding. So me and Manny did our deep dive. We did our research. We said, why did this man? What did he do now? Because he said everything in the world. So.

[B]

But it wasn't announced when we uploaded or filmed.

[A]

I was like, so we missed it. We missed it. Of course, you couldn't have been uninvited.

[B]

The day we filmed. Every time.

[A]

Anyways, he got uninvited because he made. He. He said it was because of one comment he made. And me and Manny know exactly what that comment was. Her fiance is from another country. And Austin made a claim that they're only getting married so he could stay in America.

[B]

That was like, it's gonna happen eventually. He's not from here.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm literally like.

[A]

And he alluded to that they're getting married right now. Like, papers for papers. And he got his ass off the.

[B]

List, you know, and honestly. And you know damn well that was the reason.

[A]

That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

[B]

Of course, like, how the thing is, if I was Catherine listening to my ex husband who cheated on me be like, well, you know, they're only together because of the papers. Are they getting married?

[A]

The projection is wild.

[B]

It's crazy. His rejection is so far beyond, by the way, to me, because he's literally in his video, which also I found. So just the audacity is too much. When he's like 20, 23, he's like trying to pin these dates together of when, like, him and Catherine together, when they were together. And I'm like, first of all, you get no say because you're a cheater.

[A]

Right. Capital C. H Chegg.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Cheated on her when you had family and children. Cheated on her in our worst days or best days, you're the nastiest cheese. Nass Ho.

[B]

Yeah, exactly. Any kind of opinion you have about her and her dates is completely obs easily. It's completely invalid and voided. So to me, just like the way he even talks. That's why it's funny. And that's, I think, also why we find it funny, because audacity is so out of 10 that I'm like, girl, do you even hear yourself? You're crazy.

[A]

Part of me thinks he does hear.

[B]

His so and he does it for a rage.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Maybe he's rage baiting.

[A]

I think he is. Because he cashes in so big on it.

[B]

Yeah, he must be, because also, like, obviously from like the Snapchat, like the, you know, him posting on there, he's streaming. And that's how he got caught up because he streamed the whole time when he was reacting to Catherine. So we just kept talking.

[A]

So we get every morsel.

[B]

Yes, yes. It's literally like streamers are basically, in a way, they're like podcasting because they're just talking with the camera on it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You can't edit, baby. It's. You're going. And that's just what it's gonna freaking be. So I'm like girly at the end of the day. Honestly, I would uninvite him too.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Point blank.

[A]

Yeah, absolutely.

[B]

Because that's crazy.

[A]

Our next topic is Taylor, Frankie Paul is Gwyneth just got announced as the next Bachelorette.

[B]

I'm gonna have to watch Bachelorette.

[A]

I'm gonna have to tune back in, babe.

[B]

I was elated.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I saw the news that she was getting announced.

[A]

I said, oh, so you guys want people to watch your show again.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

And she's in the same. It's in the same network because you know Hulu abc.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Hulu hosts all the ABC shows and Warm and White and it's actually their biggest.

[B]

I think it's like their. Who's like Saving Grace is like their ABC show like Survivor and Bachelor. All those kind of things that are.

[A]

So she's able to not breach contracts with Mormon wives and still be able to Bachelor because of the connect because ABC plays on Hulu. Thank you to Ava for sponsoring this portion of full coverage.

This ad is brought to you by Viv Healthcare, the makers of Apertude Cabotegravir.

[A]

You never skip your SPF and you carry hand sanitizer like an accessory. But what are you doing for HIV prevention? One way to help protect yourself from HIV is Apertude, a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of getting HIV in adults and adolescents weighing at least 77 pounds.

[B]

You must be HIV negative to receive Apertude and get tested before each injection. If you think you are exposed to HIV or have flu like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. More HIV testing may be needed. APER2 does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections. Practice safer sex to reduce your risk. Get Apertude as scheduled. Missing doses increases your HIV risk. Don't take Apertude if allergic to it or taking certain medicines that may interact. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions, liver problems and mental health. Serious side effects include allergic reactions or rash, liver problems and depression. If these occur, get medical help right away. The most common side effect is injection site reaction.

Bring your A game and talk to your doctor. Learn [e-mail] or call 1-888-240034.

[B]

So she announced it when they did call her daddy. Call her daddy episode. And apparently she's coming out with the show on Hulu too. A dating show, huh? Alex Cooper. I'm like, oh my God, that's so cool that she's coming out with her own show on abc. So then of course it makes sense that she's going to be the person that's announcing it with Taylor Frankie. But you guys, we are like stands of Mormon housewives, Secret lives, Mormon wives. And I am so excited excited to see her on the Bachelorette.

[A]

I am too. I think it's going to be really good. She's really young though.

[B]

She's really thinking is like fascinating because she's like, you know she's doing this. Don't you think that for the casting to find like men for her, they would need to obviously be okay with her having children. And that's a big like no, no for a lot of men. Three children. And also like her growing up like being Mormon. So like they would have to probably. Don't you think they would want to have like a religious background?

[A]

Like I feel like casting will be tough only, only the Mormon thing because basically off what she does on the show.

[B]

It doesn't seem like.

[A]

It seems like a lot of the other girls would. And it's more of a stricter thing. But it seems like for Taylor, she's just kind of like, whatever. I'm actually so happy that she got rid of Dakota because Toxic. Whenever they were finally able to give a full breakdown of what all the lies were and, like, how that played out and, like, how he deceived her because it was so wishy washy. What was true, what wasn't when he cheated. Were they together? Weren't they together? They broke it down, I believe, in the boring ass reunion. That reunion was boring. That's not the cast's fault. They don't get to decide the questions.

[B]

No, no. And I. And I always wondered too, because, you know, that was fulfilled for like, what, 12 hours? Yeah. So I'm like, you guys, why are we including this Boring.

[A]

I know. Insane. So it was dragging. Honestly, whenever they. But they did break down, Did a really good, great job of breaking down the honesty and, like, what really happened between her and Dakota. I immediately was like, she has to get rid of him.

[B]

Yeah. And I was plugged in for it too. Like that part.

[A]

That part. I was like, okay, I'm done with it. I wasn't for sure. Yeah, it was a low. It was a low, low, low reunion when I. When the show is not low at all. So that was interesting. But anyways, I'm happy to see her move on because I didn't think she ever would watch Dakota be one of the contestants. That would be so ultimate. Bring trash TV back.

[B]

Honestly. Bring it back.

[A]

Bring it.

[B]

Because you know, he would go.

[A]

Make him walk in there, please. Peace.

[B]

No, he walks up and he's like, you're missing the last one. He's the last one that come out of the limo.

[A]

I would love that. That is TV right there. That's cinema.

[B]

Do you know what cinema, you guys, what I really want to see from the Bachelorette. And I would plug the in.

[A]

Tell me.

[B]

If it's, you know, the Bachelorette.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Two of the men fall in love.

[A]

That feels like a fantasy.

[B]

You guys want. It's a fantasy, but it's also like.

[A]

I feel like that's more likely to happen on Love Island.

[B]

No, I. I also feel like in general, like. Or like it would happen on the Bachelor where, like two girl. Like, I can see it just happening.

[A]

Totally.

[B]

But if you guys want some fucking readings, you want some fucking drama, you want some tea? If that. Something like that were to ever happen. Whether it's the bachelor of the bachelorette or love Island, I'm telling you, shit would be blown out.

[A]

My attitude is so nasty because if I was ever like, I hate my attitude because if I ever was on the Bachelorette competing, not the Bachelorette, but I might like, let's say it's the Bachelor and I'm a contestant competing, I'd be like, you the same. I ain't competing for you. If you can be like, out of 30 girls, immediately, like, I'm not gonna sit here and beg for you.

[B]

No, I can't be like, do you.

[A]

Know what you know? Yeah, like, crying, loves her more. I'd be like, good, love her.

[B]

I don't care. I honestly, I'm the same lord. And I. And I wonder, like, it's because we just disassociate with that stuff. I'm like, maybe we can just disassociate because we are just like. Like, I don't know. I'm not saying that the girls aren't secure with themselves, but they're always like casting a little bit younger. So it is kind of like they do want them to be a little.

[A]

Bit more like, willing to fight for a man.

[B]

Yes. Willing to fight for.

[A]

Willing to fight for a woman. Because the men do it too on the Bachelor.

[B]

Exactly. It's like a.

[A]

Interesting cuz I just don't know.

[B]

I think there's competitiveness involved too. So I do think that that adds to it where, like, people, if they're competitive, naturally they tend to go in.

[A]

Situations where, because I always say I'm not a competitive person, I think everybody's a little competitive to some mixed in ways. But I feel like that's an area where I am not competitive at all. And I would be like, just so unattractive and turned off, you know. But again, I guess, you know that you signed up for a show and it's like, you gotta put on for sure. Maybe.

[B]

Maybe it's also like, you know, at the end of the day, it is produced. It is reality tv.

[A]

It's produced.

[B]

You know, maybe a lot of these girls are like, girl, I don't even give a about this, man. I'm gonna get the bag. You know what I mean? Like, what if it's like something like that where they just don't really give a dog.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That's like a whole other aspect of it too. So I do wonder about aspects of the show because, you know, like, production is probably demonic when it comes to those kinds of shows. And definitely I always. For me, the thing is, I would immediately get the ick if I saw the guy that I was, like, falling for start, like, making out with other guys.

[A]

That's my point right there. Like, I'm done.

[B]

Like, I'm done done because I'm trying to protect myself.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. I would not. My, like, ego, I guess, would be like.

[B]

Yeah, my ego too. It's bruised. I don't know. I wouldn't be able to, like, like, really do that.

[A]

Please don't ever look at me again or touch me.

[B]

Get away from me. Yeah, that's how I would feel. Like, I would be so upset. Like, I'm not a sharer. So it's also, like, I'm not, like, interested in that kind of thing, but at the end of the day, we know that about ourselves, so we're not going on shows like that. So it's like, like. No.

[A]

I also wanted to mention, speaking of shows, the Emmys.

[B]

Oh, yes. That just happened this week.

[A]

I have the top Emmy winners I want to read off. Oh, yeah, I want to, but one. You guys know I've bragged about the show, the studio about a million times, and you're probably sick of hearing it. Well, guess what? You should have fucking watched it when I told you to. It blew it out. It broke a record of winning the most Emmys for the first season of a show ever.

[B]

Ever. Really?

[A]

13 Emmys.

[B]

It won 13 Emmys.

[A]

13 Emmys. Yes, it did. It won 13 Emmys. This is Seth.

[B]

What has ever even won 13 Emmy. I don't know if anything I've ever heard of has won 13 Emmys.

[A]

I don't know, but this is the first time, like, a one seasoner.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Has won 13. You guys have to. The show. You included. Yeah. It's your homework. Watch the show. The episodes are bite sized. They're 30 minutes.

[B]

No, I'm gonna watch it.

[A]

And they're one take. So you can't take your eyes off the screen because the camera, it just never stops going. Once it goes, it feels like, what.

[B]

Did it went for? Like, what was like, the main, like, sweeps that it won? Like, did it went for, like, best comedy.

[A]

Let me tell you.

[B]

Like, Like, I'm curious. Like, what?

[A]

Best directing studio. So the premise of the show is like, the behind the scenes of Hollywood. And Seth Rogen's character gets the outstanding comedy series.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Lead actor in a comedy. Best supporting actor in a comedy. Best supporting actor in a comedy series. Kathryn Hahn. By the way.

[B]

She won.

[A]

Yeah, she did. My angel, supporting actress by the way, she is hilarious. She plays the marketing girl for movies and TV shows that the company is producing. She's the market head of marketing and so she dresses like an influencer and she's always got like a big soda in her hand. She's got like rings. She's always got extension. She's hip and she's so funny in it. But yeah, outstanding lead actor.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

So they just took.

[B]

They just took everything. They cleared the bench.

[A]

Watch the show if you haven't watched it. I wish I could watch it again for the first time, but experience it to experience again. It's incredible.

[B]

Is that a show like you would ever re watch?

[A]

Oh, absolutely.

[B]

Are you a show re watcher?

[A]

Rarely.

[B]

Because I was like, I feel like you're actually not a show rewatch.

[A]

I'm a rare show re watcher.

[B]

Like that doesn't happen. I feel like for you, you experience once and you're like, I'm gonna. Good.

[A]

Because we rewatch for comfort and I try to get out of my comfort zone and absorb a new show. But when we rewatch, we're looking for, we already know the outcome. We already know we liked it.

[B]

So we're going feeling.

[A]

It's a guaranteed feeling we're going to get out of the show. So that's why you watch shows like friends 100 times in the office. Because you want comfort. But I like to try to get out my comfort zone with shows. Okay. The Penguin one nine. Incredible.

[B]

One of the best shows I've ever seen.

[A]

Absolutely. Literally, really Adolescence, which I didn't watch.

[B]

With that little boy.

[A]

They won eight. Yeah. With a little boy.

[B]

You know, he's the youngest winner of all time.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Or like the youngest.

[A]

We need to watch that.

[B]

I think so.

[A]

I try to watch the first episode. It was kind of like whatever, but.

[B]

I don't even know what it's about.

[A]

It's like a little boy is being accused of like murder. He's accusing murder, the little boy. So it's crazy.

[B]

But the fact that he won at 15 years old, insane is absolutely show one. Eight Emmys crazy.

[A]

Several Severance.

[B]

I watched the first season of Severance.

[A]

SNL won eight Emmys.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

The Pit. Have you watched on hbo?

[B]

No, but oh my God. Apparently it's like reinvigorating that category.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's like that Grey's Anatomy World.

[A]

Me and Tyler watched two episodes last night because it won five Emmys and I did not like it.

[B]

Really?

[A]

It's such an interesting concept how they shot it. So it's 15 episodes per season, but the fifth and the episodes are an hour long each. So they. This is 15 hours of TV. But the entire 15 hours of TV is all one day, and each episode is one hour in the emergency room, which is the pit, what they call the next.

[B]

So it's like the next hour.

[A]

Yes. God, it is too high strung for me. It's like.

[B]

Did you ever watch Grey's Anatomy?

[A]

Never. Couldn't get into it.

[B]

I liked Grey's Anatomy when I. When I was in the height of grace, I wasn't green as me. Freak.

[A]

I didn't know that.

[B]

So I used to be. I watched the first eight season of Great Anatomy and then after, like, oh, that's commitment. And by the way, I watched it when it was happening.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Like, when it was happening, I was a great girly. And then, like, when it happened, it had, like. You know how you. Sometimes you fall off a show because it, like, takes too long for it to come back.

[A]

Right.

[B]

It was like that for me. And then I felt like it was too much. Too much of an undertaking to keep going.

[A]

Then. So the pit, I just. I feel like it's too high strung, and I feel like it's very repetitive.

[B]

Oh, I see.

[A]

Very positive. But I mean, people may love that, but traders. Five Emmys.

[B]

Oh, my God. So then I definitely beat RuPaul. Then again, drag Race.

[A]

It did.

[B]

They must have.

[A]

They're not even on the list.

[B]

Yeah, that's some things I know.

[A]

And then Andor. Which I told you.

[B]

Oh, yes.

[A]

Five Emmys.

[B]

Five.

[A]

Five Emmys for andor.

[B]

That's insane. For, like, a Star Warsy show.

[A]

It's insane. It's insane. Most of their Star wars shows are getting canceled.

[B]

Yeah, exactly.

[A]

So terrible, huh?

[B]

Wow. I'm impressed with, like, the. The winners.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Really surprised about the Pit.

[A]

Yeah, me too. Me too. But I mean, people may clearly don't probably. I think it's.

[B]

The guy won. So do you think he's a good. Was a good actor?

[A]

He's phenomenal. He really is. It's just like, how they did it. I'm just very like, it's just not my type of show. But I think it is a fantastic show. And I think because of how they shot it in a unique, you know, it's one hour episode.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I think that's probably what.

[B]

That's also so cool. I've never heard of anything like that.

[A]

Very unique. And then the studio cleaned house because of their uniqueness as well. How they did each episode as one shot. Shot.

[B]

Yes, exactly. So it needs to almost be, like, something unique like that to even make a way.

[A]

We just have so much TV now. It's like, how are you making your show special?

[B]

Plus, like, you know, like, they're all. All the studios are spooked about everything.

[A]

Huh.

[B]

Everyone, like, is scared about losing money on their shows and their movies, so now they're like, they almost feel like they want to do the safe banger. So then when they have things like this that are actually, like, cleaning out for something unique, it's good for, I think, the. The health of Hollywood, actually.

[A]

I agree. I agree completely. But huge Seth Rogen fan.

[B]

I love. I also love, like, I loved seeing some of the people, like, I love, like, award shows because I just like to see what people wear. I just think it's fun to me. Like, I just like to see, like, the fashion of it. And I love Jenna Ortega's outfit at the Emmys. It reminded me so much of death becomes her when she's wearing, like, the jewels and her, like, titties out. I loved it. Like, I love.

[A]

Stylus is eating, eating, eating this.

[B]

Jenna's a stylist.

[A]

Apparently. Wednesday had a, like, a 41 drop off in viewership.

[B]

You're joking.

[A]

I saw a report. Huh? From season one to two up. Had a huge.

[B]

I wonder why.

[A]

I didn't think season two was as good, but I didn't think it was a bad season.

[B]

I. I watched it. I still enjoyed it. I just didn't think it was as good as season one.

[A]

Yeah, that's hard to top, though.

[B]

Did you watch all of season two?

[A]

I haven't finished it, but I still thought it was good.

[B]

There's like a. There's. I'm, like, wondering if you got to the spot where, like, it actually, like, gave me a gag, which I didn't think the kid. The show could do. Do.

[A]

Okay. So I watched the whole entire thing, and I was out of work, so I was not able to tune in, but I saw what was happening. So I'm gonna re. Watch to finish the last couple episodes.

[B]

I want you to see, like, the last, like, two episodes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because I feel like that's where, like, the gag happens where I literally was like, I didn't think Wednesday could even surprise me. I didn't think that could even happen. But that. That one. The. The one surprise, and you'll know what it is the second it happens. You'll be like, oh, you didn't expect that.

[A]

Yeah, cool. Well, that's TV show. Selena Gomez's mom.

[B]

Oh, my God. I've been seeing this. This tea floating around. Yes.

[A]

I didn't even know that her mom was involved in any way or had. Did you know that her mom was originally her manager?

[B]

I had no idea. And that they became estranged. Like, they almost like they have, like, a bad relationship.

[A]

I hate that for Selena so much because is when you gain fame and power, anyone in your life that is a loose end that's a little chaotic, if you will. I don't want to, like, pin things on her mother, but, you know, I don't want to say a problem, but a. A thorn in your life. If you gain fame and power, that thorn in your life is going to become sharper. Much, much sharper. And it's become much more of a disaster every time. And it's like, almost not fair for Selena because I think Selena's done such a great job with her career.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

And with her resources and everything. She's done so much for people. And now her mother, who is supposed to be, you know, the caretaker. The caretaker, the one that has their.

[B]

Together.

[A]

What it seems like is that it's Selena. That's like having to almost taking care of the mom.

[B]

So. Yeah. So her mom, she had like. There's like a. I believe it's like a nonprofit.

[A]

It's called Wonder Mind.

[B]

Yes, Wonder Mind. It's a nonprofit, and it is a mental health. Mental health nonprofit. And there's a lot of employees that have come out recently that talked about what the working environment was like at wondermind and the situation with the mom and how dire it is. And actually that the mom is having, like, full. Like, she's staying at the office for, like, days on end. Like, there's no shower living there. No shower situation. She's, like, not showering for days, like, sitting just watching tv, trying to escape, like, her reality is, like, what people are kind of saying and that she's very. Not present. Present at work whatsoever. And that she's like, you know, allegedly, they're like, employees were seeing her. Do you know, recreational activities at her desk. And they're like, what is happening? Like, what's going on? And so apparently, like, the. The company has lost out on potentially on a lot of money, millions of dollars.

[A]

Also, the company, they started with a partner, and the partner left. So now it's just her mom running it. And apparently the management. Allegedly, the management of the mom is horri.

[B]

Yeah. And the employees are pissed, basically. They're mad. They're all like. They did an interview with the cut and they're basically Saying that like, that she's mismanaging the money and that apparently, like, she's like, saying no for Selena about doing, like, deals with the. With the company and sponsors the company, when Selena is actually a founder of the company, is one of the founders. So they're like, why would you not, you know, help utilize Selena? Or you. And Selena would also probably be, like, willing to do it because she's a founder of this non profit, this mental health nonprofit. And apparently, like, she's been denying all those things. Losing company hit millions of dollars. And you know, apparently Selena has also, when she heard that things were getting spooky over there, she's poured millions of dollars into it, trying to keep them.

[A]

Afloat to these employees, to make sure they're covered, to make sure everything's covered. And it just seems like, like it's all this is alleged because the employees have come out and said this, but it's not something you can ignore. Ignore.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

You know what I mean? And honestly, I read all this and I'm like, damn, I hate it for Selena.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

She doesn't deserve this. And it seems like, you know, she's always trying to do something good and it blows up in her face, you know?

[B]

Yes. It's like she's trying so hard to do something good or like, you know, to be an advocate for something.

[A]

But your mom, of all people.

[B]

I know. And the thing is, what's crazy is that mom has come out and denied everything. Denied, denied the whole thing. She literally. They're like, they're just disgruntled employees. And I'm like, you guys have like, 14 employees and they're all agreeing on something, I think, and the partner left.

[A]

And they're just kind of like, at that. It just feels like you've already had kind of a negative, estranged relationship with Selena. And it's just like, it's all adding up. It's like, girl. So I hate it for Selena. I.

[B]

Apparently they're in a good spot now. Like, apparently there's, like, healthy boundaries set in place. That's what, like, they were saying. And that she said that there was, like, healthy boundaries and good things, like, put into place for each other to be able to have a working relationship and just an actual functioning relationship in general. But I just do feel bad, like, overarchingly for the situation because it's so frustrating, the idea of, like, having your own mother kind of being a disaster.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, running in this kind of situation and who knows what's actually the root of it. Who knows that there actually is, like, mental health, like, issues as well. Like, who knows what is happening? But apparently, like, she's over here, like, spending hella money on like, you know, going shopping at Nordstrom or something like that. And like spending thousands of dollars and just sitting in it. And I don't know, it just seems something's. Something seems very off.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Getting IVs and, you know, just weird things nicely. Yeah. Like, just odd and weird.

[A]

The truth lies somewhere in the middle, for sure.

[B]

100. I just feel bad for Selena.

[A]

I know that's a frustrating thing. It is. That's beyond frustrating.

[B]

So just like, are you actually joking me right now?

[A]

That's tough.

[B]

Especially when it's your parent. Like, you never want to be a parent to your parent.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's the worst that happens.

[A]

That happens.

[B]

It happens. Especially like, imagine hitting fame so young. She's probably been doing some since the jump.

[A]

Yeah. Well, our next topic and final topic is Iris and TJ look like they might be getting back together, which I.

[B]

Kind of live Love Island.

[A]

Did Pepe cheat or not?

[B]

I don't know. Because it was like, rumors are always.

[A]

Like, he was like, I did not cheat. Like, said it so clearly. But then she never really retaliated on that. Like.

[B]

Right. She never was like, yeah, he didn't.

[A]

Or. Or she never said, yeah, but he did. He's lying. Like, she never. It just got left alone. So I'm like. But they did in so abruptly.

[B]

So the unfollowing, like, all that kind of stuff.

[A]

Yeah. Like, something happened there. And then she was at Fashion Week with tj, which I love that for her.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

I'm like, girl are cute. I did think TJ and Iris were cute.

[B]

I did too. I originally thought they were cuter than Pepe.

[A]

I loved Pepe and Iris. I really did. Because I loved Pepe.

[B]

Of course. So did I.

[A]

And Iris, of course. She's great. But I do really like TJ and Iris.

[B]

To me, Iris and he just made more sense. Like, they always personality. Personality wise, they always, like, they seem like they vibed the best. So when I saw them, Pepe and her, I was like, oh, I like it. I'm so glad. I love Pepe. But to me, I always thought, like, TJ made more sense for Iris. So when that fact that they're back together, I'm like, oh, my God. I knew that you guys had some type of, like, just undeniable chemistry, because they did. Right on camera. Like, and like, when he left, she was heartbroken.

[A]

She was Heartbroken. And she seemed like she really liked him. So. Yeah, I thought it was kind of cool how TJ was kind of like, I'm still here, you know?

[B]

I mean, then Shelley. It truly shows that he really did care and that he, like, really did like about her a lot, and he was really falling for her. So I'm like, do you think that's a publicity stunt, or do you think it's real?

[A]

I don't know. I think it's 50. 50.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because with these Love island shows, nothing's really real anymore.

[B]

Yeah. Especially now. Now it's like this last season that just happened. I'm like, oh, girl.

[A]

I would say the season before is what set off the fakeness of it.

[B]

I cannot agree more.

[A]

Kenny and Janae, it shows you the links that these people will go to, like, support a relationship for the fame. And I feel like Love island has only gotten more famous from there, so I don't really believe anything from the show.

[B]

Yeah. And it was. It was that season, like, Janae's season that blew, I feel like, blew up the US Version of Love Island.

[A]

It was Janae season. It was Janae's season.

[B]

So the fact that the season after, it feels almost like they're in it for the fame.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Then it's kind of like, oh, no, of course. Because the last one was. They became so popular. Became, like, instant influence. Instantly love.

[A]

Instantly everything. Influencers.

[B]

Influencers. Charles is shaking.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, it does seem that way. So with that being said, I don't really believe in any of the relationships.

[B]

You watch Love Island Games?

[A]

No.

[B]

Me neither.

[A]

Sorry, you're not getting me there.

[B]

When I saw. When I also saw, like, the cast, I was like, oh, really? I'm good. It wasn't hitting. It wasn't hitting at all for me. I was literally like, what's happening? Chris is doing it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

The tall one and all the comments are like, why isn't he playing ball overseas? And I'm not kidding you. It's so funny seeing those comments, like, why is Chris here? I thought he was playing ball overseas.

[A]

Oh, that's so funny. He should have never said that.

[B]

Never. Because that's something you'll never live down. So, yeah, I just the. To me, I'm always like, why would we watch Love Island Games? I never even watched a season of Love Island Games. I mean, I barely got into Love island usa, even the last season, but I don't know.

[A]

Well, that's our last Toppy for the day.

[B]
