Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Show Dynamics and Guest Co-Host Energy

Rayna notes the novelty of hosting without Ashley and how Andrew's banter and comedic reactions fill the “echo chamber.”

• “Hi, guys. Oh my God. I don’t know if Ashley can say 'hi, guys.' Okay, you can say 'hi, guys' back.” (00:01)
• Andrew jokes about taking Ashley’s spot and "looking at yachts already." (00:53)

Memorable Moment

Andrew’s texting style as the anti-thesis of his in-person personality:

• Rayna: “You text like I text when I am so mad at my man.” (03:53)
• Andrew: “I pretty much just wrote 'K' five times. Yes. But you know what? I wish I was that person in real life.” (03:56)

2. Hot Man Report & Mugshot Mania

Rayna coins this week's pop culture update as "The Hot Man Report." Discussion centers on the viral mugshots from a supposed Louvre heist, with both hosts marveling over “unconscionably sexy” criminals—only for Andrew to debunk the fantasy.

• Rayna: “This might be the. Most people have sent me a TikTok or anything like this. They are unconscionably sexy.” (06:30)
• Andrew: “It’s amazing what guys can get away with.” (06:45)
• After fact-checking: “The Louvre robbers that you just showed me are not the guys that actually robbed the Louvre.” (09:30)

Notable Moment:
Rayna’s disappointment:

• “I ruined a fantasy for thousands of women and me. Trust me, I want it to be real.” (10:09)

3. People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive

Debate over Glen Powell, Pedro Pascal, and the actual winner, Jonathan Bailey.

• Discussion about media training, the artificiality of celebrity presentations vs. authentic moments.
• Andrew: “When he hugged Fallon... he had a little bit of a bald spot... it made me very happy.” (10:52)
• Rayna: “Everyone started off as just like a random dude.” (11:19)

Memorable Reflection

On authenticity:

• Rayna: “I laugh too hard to be a real celebrity.” (12:36)
• Andrew: “But I think what sets you apart, I think when everyone is media trained, if you’re a little bit off, it goes a long way.” (12:42)

4. Behind the Scenes of Celebrity Interviews & Comedy

Conversation turns to authenticity in public personas and the difficulties comedians face navigating public scrutiny, referencing Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nikki Glaser.

• Rayna on Anne Hathaway: “She’s been famous since I was like 14... this is the personification, what happens when... everybody has an opinion about you for 25 years.” (13:07)
• Andrew: “There’s nothing like that can get in the way of your fame than being honest.” (15:58)

BTS Comedy:

Andrew discusses writing jokes for both a roast and the Golden Globes, contrasting the “meanest jokes” with the lighter, media-appropriate content for more mainstream settings.

• “It is way easier to write just the meanest jokes... And then the Golden Globes, you have to be more media trained a little bit.” (16:43–17:25)
• Rayna: “If she ran those jokes...[every] headline would have been how terribly she picked on people.” (18:18)

5. Jennifer Aniston’s “Hard Launch” and Influencer Romance Psychology

Jennifer Aniston’s Instagram-official move with boyfriend Jim Curtis—a “love guru/hypnotherapist”—sparks talk about celebrity and influencer relationships.

• Andrew: “She got his book, she read the book... what I’m gonna take from this is I’m gonna have sex with the guy who wrote it. That just shows—that’s me, kinda, isn’t it?” (19:37–20:20)
• Both joke about love bombing, ghosting, and the inherent self-involvement of romance influencers.

Notable Quote

Rayna: “When people tell me that I’m amazing, I’m just like, yeah, yeah, I know.” (22:12)

6. Justin Baldoni’s $400 Million Lawsuit Counter-suit Saga

Explaining the key points of Hollywood’s hottest ongoing legal battle:

• The countersuit was dismissed due to procedural technicality—Baldoni’s team missed the deadline to amend their complaint.
• Rayna: “I mean, I just think it’s so funny. This is a $400 million lawsuit. They just forgot.” (30:16)
• Much speculation on whether the future "trial of the century" will be televised (likely not, per federal rules).

Highlight

• Andrew: “If someone sued me for [millions], that's how successful they think I am. It is a subtle flex to get sued for a shit ton of money.” (29:15)

7. Dodgers Win, Sports at the Wedding, and Male Brain Stats

The Dodgers clinched the World Series during Ashley’s wedding. Many men covertly watched.

• “Every man at that wedding had a phone out on mute up under the centerpiece.” (34:33)
• Discussion on men's minds wired for sports trivia over personal milestone memory.
• Andrew: “But they can't remember when the flight is with your wife.” (38:03)

8. Viral Relationships: The RichTok "Marriage Rules" Debate

Becca Bloom (of RichTok) shares her marriage rules:

1. Never talk negatively about each other in public
2. Her husband sits and compliments her for an hour each week
3. He pays for everything and she invoices him if her time is wasted
   Andrew finds the concept “psychopathic,” particularly the hour of compliments:

• “An hour, one hour of me complimenting you. Just imagine it... Every week, every week, every day. Oh, my God. This is insanity.” (48:30)
• Rayna: “Honestly, listen, what we all strive for is a partner that you don’t need to have, like, dedicated schedule compliment time.” (49:43)

Sound Bite

Andrew: “How can I come up [with] an hour each week of compliments? How’s that possible? ...You know how long that was? Seven seconds.” (49:09–49:33)

9. Ashley’s Remote Headline & Rapid Pop Culture Roundup

• Selling Sunset behind-the-scenes drama: Chrishell Stause on forced reality show conflict.
• Britney Spears deletes IG after cryptic posts—both hosts rooting for her well-being.
• The JD Vance and Erica Kirk “inappropriate hug” at a Turning Point event, sparking rumors and hot takes:
  • Andrew: “She has her hands in his hair, stroking his head... And it’s long... it’s too long for a hug. And when does a hand go on the back of another of a husband’s head?” (56:21–56:27)
  • Rayna: “My hand is only back there on somebody I’m sleeping with.” (56:27)

Next Week:

Transcript

[A]

This week on the snack, Justin Baldoni's lawsuit, Jennifer Anderson. Hard launches. And People magazine names its sexiest man alive. This is the Dear media production. Enjoy. Hi, guys. Oh, my God. I don't know if Ashley can say hi, guys. Okay, you can say hi, guys back.

[B]

Hi, boys.

[A]

You guys, this is a monumental day. For the first time in eight years, I have a co host who is not Ashley.

[B]

I mean, the pressure is insane and I am not the person that, like, does well.

[A]

I've never said hi, guys into an echo chamber before. No one says it back like, that was like doing a solo podcast.

[B]

Look, I'm just here to support you. I'm not trying to take Ashley's role. Although if I do, well, it'd be great to maybe do a back and forth.

[A]

To get that money.

[B]

Yeah, to get that money. I'm looking at yachts already, so I'm.

[A]

Going to introduce you. So Ashley is on her honeymoon and we will do a wedding recap of everything that happened next week. But in the meantime, we're gonna let her enjoy her honeymoon. And my co host today is a very good friend of ours. He is a very funny comedian. He is probably the most repeat guest we've had on the show. Please welcome to the show Andrew Collins.

[B]

Hey, guys.

[A]

Hey.

[B]

Hey. No, it's great to be here. It is so funny that people are checking to see if it's the wedding episode and it's just me talking about Justin Baldoni or whatever.

[A]

No, I'm really proud of you because these episodes are a lot to prep and I go through, like, hours and hours of all the pop culture news and I have to read every article and every website. And I sent it to you this morning. I was like, please catch up on, like, Britney Spears and Justin Baldoni and this TikTok trend. And you really did it.

[B]

Well, you sent it to me at 11:15 last night. And I mean, that's very professional. And I did see it, but I was half asleep. I'll be honest with you.

[A]

Weren't gonna read it.

[B]

I read it this morning. I read it this morning while my wife was yelling at me that I was ignoring her while she was having a bit of a panic attack.

[A]

You guys don't fight?

[B]

No, we do.

[A]

Really? I can't imagine Brenna ever getting mad about anything.

[B]

One time I said, I'm gonna call the cops, and she said, call the cops. So. But that was really just us.

[A]

You know why? Cause she has, like, little girl sweet face. So, like, cops would show up and she would be Like, I didn't do anything, officer. And they would arrest you.

[B]

Oh, I'd be done. Yeah, it would have been horrendous. But that was the only time it got to cops. Like, we're not usually a cop couple.

[A]

Okay. I would hope not. I would really hope not, especially. Cause you guys stayed at my house this weekend. Just the cops are there. I see on the security cams, cops are walking in my house.

[B]

It is nice to get in a fight in a big enough house to where you don't have to worry about the neighbors calling the cops on you. That is nice.

[A]

I thought you were gonna say you could go to separate rooms and just cool down, Andrew.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I lived in New York. I've lived in New York with two different men. And there's nowhere to go to cry. Except for your bathroom.

[B]

That's true.

[A]

There's, like, one room in the whole apartment.

[B]

I know. It is tough. Where are you gonna go underneath the couch? Where do you cry in your Murphy bed? In the wall.

[A]

You go in the wall?

[B]

Yeah. I go inside the wall.

[A]

You get inside the kitchen cabinet.

[B]

Don't mind me.

[A]

Go under the stove.

[B]

She opens it up. I'm like, he has a plate.

[A]

Okay. You know, I don't want to ask you, because you and I were texting about the episode, and you literally text. I sent you long. I'm gonna give you guys what I said to Andrew and how he responds. I sent long, thoughtful messages, and he.

[B]

Wrote, call the cops.

[A]

He wrote, smart. I upset something else for sure. I sent a very long message. He wrote, sounds good, period. I sent another series of long messages. I'm being very nice, by the way. He writes, sounds good, period. Again, I said, more information. He says, will do. I send more information. Got it. You text like I text when I am so mad at my man.

[B]

Yeah. I pretty much just wrote K five times. Yes. But you know what? I wish I was that person in real life.

[A]

You so aren't. That's why it catches me off guard.

[B]

Cool. Can you imagine? Just go. I'll just be like, this is me. If I was cool.

[A]

You are the personification of K, period, in text messages and the exact opposite in real life.

[B]

No doubt.

[A]

Like, you are. You're like. And I mean, this is such a compliment. You're one of the girls. You can, like, gossip. And, like, you were at my house all day on Sunday with just a room full of girls.

[B]

I know, but, I mean, it's a business text. I don't. I've had problems where I've over explained myself in the past and I think it makes me look weak.

[A]

Is that cause you raised in a family of brothers and everyone made fun of you for everything?

[B]

My puffy nipples. I would go in the pool with my shirt on for years.

[A]

Did you like blow on like a hot drink before you drank it and they just made fun of you for an hour?

[B]

I got pretty. I mean, my brother's smarter than me. My older brother is brilliant. Like his bar mitzvah money, he invested it in like Apple and I bought a used Jet ski. So that's where we're at.

[A]

You wrote one of your best jokes about that jet ski and that's what's important.

[B]

That is all that matters. The funniest part was a different jet ski, but it's fine anyhow.

[B]

Why does she usually read the ads?

[A]

We trade off back and forth.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

Yes. So anyways, we start off every week with a report.

[B]

Okay. Give it to me.

[A]

I have named this report the hot man report.

[B]

Got it. Because of me.

[A]

Cause you're here and I'm hot. You are hot.

[B]

I'm okay.

[A]

You're. You have glowed up.

[B]

My skin's falling apart.

[A]

I think you're much like you've grown up every year like me. But that's common for men.

[B]

Well, I just started using skincare.

[A]

Yeah. You met a woman. She's an esthetician. Brenna's an esthetician.

[B]

My wife is an esthetician. And she. If I don't go. If I go out in the, you know, without suntan lotion, she wants to murder me. And it's scary. But now I have three steps. I have three steps.

[A]

You have three steps. Skincare routine.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, so our first article is the mug shots of the Louvre heist guys was released and this might be the. Most people have sent me a TikTok or anything like this. They are unconscionably sexy.

[B]

Okay. I mean, the blue eyes. It reminds me of the one guy that ended up being a model. When he got out, he married some billionaire heiress. Do you remember that guy?

[A]

No.

[B]

Oh, he was the hottest, probably the hottest mugshot ever. They're good looking. It's amazing what guys can get away with. Like, Luigi was hot.

[A]

These guys are unconscionably good looking. And I didn't expect it. Like, I saw people like, climbing the Louvre and then escaping. You don't expect them to be these, like, really young. That guy looks like Dale Moss, but hotter.

[B]

Well, he looks like the kind of guy that can make money without robbing the Lou 100.

[A]

I mean, he.

[B]

He could do any. He could sell his peanut.

[A]

A hot person job. Yeah, like a host at a restaurant.

[B]

That.

[A]

That's a hot person job.

[B]

Okay, now I see why he robbed.

[A]

The Lou cocktail waitress. Yes. He could be an onlyfans model. I mean, he has so many options besides robbing the Louvre. Both of them do.

[B]

I mean, it is incredible how quickly people do not care about a crime if you're good looking. It really is. Like, I just.

[A]

That's why I had to have a real job.

[B]

I had to pay $5,300 for my cat to go to the emergency room. And Brennan told me we had pet insurance. And I said, they're not gonna. They don't pay human insurance. And I'm gonna have to shoot the pet insurance CEO like Luigi. But no one would get behind that because I'm too old and my skin is too loose. And I thought about how hot you have to be to murder a pet insurance CEO. And I think Glen Powell would be the only man imaginable that could get away with it. You know what I mean? Like, you'd have to be so hot.

[A]

Without even doing it on purpose. You've perfectly segued into our next article, which is that People magazine named this year's Sarah Sexiest man alive. Glen Powell always in the running. Yeah, People are obsessed with him. He was in the running this year as well. Did you know that? You don't have to accept it.

[B]

What?

[A]

So what happens? So people, some people just. They take themselves a little too seriously to be people's hottest man alive. Like Pedro Pascal has famously rejected this. Year after year after year. He doesn't want to be known for how sexy he is.

[B]

And they just keep going back. They just love a guy that plays, like, hard to get.

[A]

They're like, are you less successful this year? Maybe you'll take it this year?

[B]

Honestly, in a year from now, I think I'll take it.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Can I tell you something really quick? Not to go back to the old story, but to go back. Cuz I've done my, my research. It's not them. It's not real. Those aren't the guys.

[A]

I'm sorry, who are the guys?

[B]

They don't have photos up. And I. And I apologize for ruining this sex dream you're going to have where you don't need any computer, just your mental mind there. It's not them.

[A]

You don't think they're the sexiest men alive?

[B]

No, no. Those aren't the robbers. That's made up.

[A]

The robbers are the sexiest men alive. What's made up?

[B]

The Louvre robbers that you just showed me are not the guys that actually robbed the Louvre. That is made up. That's how much research I did. They're not real. They are real, but they're not the real robbers. I'm nervous. I'm falling apart. Do you see what I'm saying? Yes. All it took was one Google search. No, no, no, no. You gotta keep it, you gotta keep that. That's not them, I swear. What?

[A]

Let me Google this right now.

[B]

I'm telling you, look it up. See, like, I guess one of us dove in. You. I, I deep dive. Did you type in? It's fake? Yeah, one of the guys was Chase Crawford. That was a different. That was a different one. But it's not real, it's fake. Fact check. I know. I ruined a fantasy for thousands of women and me. Trust me, I want it to be real.

[A]

I really wanted that to be.

[B]

Oh my God.

[A]

All right, well, people's Sexiest man alive is real.

[B]

Yes, that's real.

[A]

All right, let's talk about it. This year's star is Jonathan Bailey. Are you familiar with him from the article?

[B]

To be honest? And I saw Wicked and I put it together, okay? And I know he's from Bridgerton. You know he's a hot man. I did. You know what it was? I watched a video of him on Fallon and this is how insecure I am with myself. When he hugged Fallon and he turned a little bit, he had a little bit of a bald spot, like a very tiny. And it made me very happy that.

[A]

Like, stars are just like us.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Made me very, like, made me happy with myself.

[A]

I mean, I think it's a good point. It's like a little more of a serious topic, but like all these people that you see with like perfect bodies, perfect hair, perfect Skin. I mean, a lot of money and surgery goes into that and filters and Botox and all these things. And then they're media trained, so they seem cooler than the average person, too. Like, none of this is. Everyone started off as just like a random dude.

[B]

Yeah. He talks. I watch him speak. He's. Everything's like, every three words is a smile. I mean, have you ever noticed? I would feel like. And it's not laughing. It's just their teeth just show up. Like, mine aren't. I have too little of little. They're disgusting. I have little Chiclet teeth. But it is, you know.

[A]

Huh.

[B]

It's just. I don't know. There's something about him. He's extremely charismatic.

[A]

I think that that's media training, though, right? Like, people. Because people are so ripped to shreds today for everything that they say you can get a tiny sound bite and it'll ruin your career. I think, like, less is more. That's why I don't. Have you ever seen Jennifer Lawrence give interviews?

[B]

I saw recently the one where she doesn't want to talk about politics anymore.

[A]

Well, she is so famous in interviews because she's, like, silly and goofy. She tripped on the steps on the way up to. Except like an. Or something. People are obsessed with her because she seems, like, so real. And you almost never see a celebrity like that. Like, I laugh too hard to be a real celebrity.

[B]

No, it's not.

[A]

Scratch my face up all ugly.

[B]

No. But I think that what sets you apart, I think when everyone is media trained, if you're a little bit off, it goes a long way. But you can't be way off. Like, there is a line. You know what I mean? So. And I think she did a very good job of showing that she's a human. And then she got more and more surgery and more and more robotic now in her. Because now maybe she wants to be taken seriously as an actress, but that ruins your whole why people loved you.

[A]

But, like, you get so much hate for being authentic. And I read this long profile in Vanity Fair about Anne Hathaway, and she is famously not. Not liked that much. Like, people just find her, like, not relatable, like stiff and uptight. And she says, like, I. I know that I come across like that, but I've been famous since I was like 14, 15 years old, like Princess Diaries. And she's been ripped to shreds by the media so much. And she's like, this is the personification. What happens when, like, everybody has an opinion about you for 25 years, you just kind of like cease to exist as a real person. I get it. Couldn't be me. I'm too ridiculous.

[B]

No, I think you're naturally yourself. I mean, this past week. We don't need to get into that.

[A]

No. You could tell me.

[B]

No, the. At the wedding, you. You married Ashley and the guy. Pretty eye. Hazel eye. What?

[A]

Sparkle eyes.

[B]

Sparkle eyes.

[A]

Pretty eyes.

[B]

What do I call them?

[A]

Hazel.

[B]

Hazel eyes. I got there. I actually didn't get there. And you were a thousand percent not media trained. Like, it was like, if you were more famous, that would take you down. And it was amazing.

[A]

I don't actually think it would take me down. I think that that was. Honestly, I lay in bed at night and think about the ceremony speech that I gave and how funny it was.

[B]

It was great.

[A]

And I'm going to recap it with Ashley on our episode. But they did their vows together and the three of us were on this little platform and I said, you know, I'm gonna hand you the mic and let you do your vows. And they go back and forth and this goes on for. It was beautiful. It went on for a long time. I mean, long time. I say in quotes, like six minutes, like three minutes each, four minutes each. But I just stood there and I didn't know what to say. I mean, I don't know who to look at or what to do. And they finish, and I just said, like, I've never felt like such a cuck in my life.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And I don't think anyone's ever said cuckoo in a wedding ceremony speech.

[B]

I don't think so either. I think there was a. There's probably four or five things that have never been said.

[A]

What's another one?

[B]

I don't. One of them was very, like a dark joke about, oh, yeah, an ex.

[A]

Yes, I did say some crazy shit.

[B]

And then my favorite probably was you bringing up your own family. And she goes, she goes, your families really love each other. Your families are great. Unlike my family.

[A]

Yeah, it was my favorite ceremony speech I've ever heard. I was really happy about it.

[B]

I mean, there were some moments that it was incredible. And I think there is a line, though, where you say, yeah, you do get crushed by the media if you step out of that. But I also think it can really help your career by stepping out a little bit and showing a little bit. A little bit.

[A]

I mean, I think sometimes that's why it's hard for comedians to reach, like this mega fame level. Because, like, you, I like, we're trained to say crazy stuff.

[B]

Well, tell the truth.

[A]

Tell the truth. Yes.

[B]

Yeah. There's nothing like that can get in the way of your fame than being honest.

[A]

It's true. And I watched you did a podcast with Nikki Glaser for many, many, many years, and you've been on the road with her for many years, and you're very, like, bonded to her. And I bring her up. Cause she did your New Year's Eve show at the Improv in LA and watched her run her speech for I always get the Oscars, the Emmys with.

[B]

The hazel eyes, Golden Globes.

[A]

Every time I'm about to talk about her doing this speech, I'm like, I'm not gonna land the plane. So the Golden Globes. And it was really like, it was touchy who she was gonna pick on and what she was gonna say about them. There's a lot of, like, landmines of like, you can go so far, but you can't cross the line. And she just did, like, a phenomenal job.

[B]

Well, it's interesting you say that because I wrote jokes on the Roast of Tom Brady, and I wrote jokes for the Golden Globes. And it is way easier to write just the meanest jokes possible of the Brady Roast because you can be as honest and as. And as cruel, but fun, but, like, really dive in. And then the Golden Globes, you have to be more media trained a little bit. You can only write surface jokes. There was nothing too mean, really. If you look at it, it's extremely different and it's smarter. And that's why she's doing so well, because she's smart enough to go, okay, I can't do the roasted Tom Brady at the Golden Globes.

[A]

But this is really fascinating behind the scenes.

[B]

Oh, I guess so, yeah. I forget that I'm behind there, but, yeah, look at the jokes, compare them, and you'll see that it's a completely different joke set in regards to that. And she did not go in at the Golden Globes. Ricky Gervais went in. Ricky Gervais would treat it, but she also, at the time, you know, didn't feel like she was famous enough. There is a level of fame where you're on the inside where you're not gonna get crushed. Also, the year before, the guy bombed so hard on the golden, there was pressure for a comedian to come in, and he was just mean and not funny.

[A]

You're right, though. It's there. There's just. There's a line. It's a big, thick line for something like the Golden Globes, where, like, you can't cross it. And even when I watched her run the set at the Improv, which was phenomenal, some of the meanest jokes that she told, she cut them.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And I was like, damn, I really like those jokes. But then, like, you realize, like, why she did it. And I think every headline would have been how terribly she picked on people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If she ran those jokes.

[B]

People are expecting a roast comedian to go hard, but because she was able to do so well without doing that, it also shows versatility. Like, whatever.

[A]

Like, huge range.

[B]

Yeah, huge range. So then she got asked to do it again. I think if she went hard in the paint, like, really hard, like she would for a roast, who knows? You know? You know? And that would be more selfish too. Like, there's also a thing where you got to realize the Globes are bigger than you are as a presenter.

[A]

Yes. So anyhow, I love that bts. That was so interesting.

[B]

Thank you. Thank you.

[A]

I just.

[B]

I love her. Yeah. No, yeah, she's great. She's hosting SNL this week.

[A]

I know she is. I can't wait to watch it.

[B]

I know. Wild.

[A]

That's amazing. All right, well, I can't wait to watch it. I'm gonna truncate some of these headlines. Cause you're just so fun to talk to. All right. Jennifer Aniston. She finally went Instagram official with Jim Curtis, who's her current boyfriend. She captioned it, My love. Happy birthday, my love. Cherished. He is sexy. Zaddy. He is so hot.

[B]

I had no idea who he was. I thought he was an actor. And then I did my research.

[A]

Oh, my God, Andrew. Tell me which one. Tell me what he does.

[B]

Okay. He's a love guru. He essentially, like, helps relationships and tells people how to have confidence. And essentially every one of his videos is like, if you love yourself, you can get someone to have sex with you. And he was able to do it. He loves himself enough. And Jennifer Aniston needed self help enough where. This is what I love about Jennifer Aniston. She got his book, she read the book and was like, oh, what I'm gonna take from this is I'm gonna have sex with the guy who wrote it. And that just shows. That's me, Kona, isn't it? It's like, it's a perfect level of fame. It's like, I'm not gonna use his teachings. I'm just gonna fuck the source, which is awesome.

[A]

This is the most me thing. When we first started the podcast, like, I Would just watch Comedians on Netflix and be like, that guy is so hot. And then I'd invite him on the show. Like, I still remember watching Ari Shafir's comedy special in, like, I don't know, 2017, 2018. I was like, that guy is so hot.

[B]

Really? Yeah. Wow. Okay. Similar to Jim Curtis, Ari Shafird. So sexy back then.

[A]

And he has this whole special about not wanting kids. And I thought it was so funny and so, like, unique back then. I mean, everybody talks about not wanting kids today, but I'd never really heard somebody talk about it like that. And I was like, gotta get him on the podcast.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Chris Estefano.

[B]

It makes sense.

[A]

We had you on because we wanted to have a pet episode.

[B]

Yeah. It had nothing to do with how hot I was.

[A]

But he is. He's a hypnotist. He's a hypnotherapist.

[B]

That's another thing. I mean, is. Is. At what point does that stop? You know what I mean?

[A]

Like, the hypnotizing.

[B]

Yeah. Maybe she's just hypnotized. Maybe he's got Aniston in a spell. You ever think about that? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And. And where does hypnotist. And where does, like, a. A Casanova. You know what I mean? Like, a guy that's very smooth. Like, where does that. Is that. That's just a form of being a hypnotist? A little bit.

[A]

I don't know. I got Love bomb pretty hard by a total sociopath recently.

[B]

And how'd that go?

[A]

I've been pretty fucked up for. I've been pretty fucked up for a few weeks.

[B]

Did he write a book?

[A]

No, but I wrote a great comedy set about it. Like, the good thing about what you and I do is, like, we can just write about it and, like, make fun of it on stage.

[B]

Fucking love bombing. I've never loved bombed someone. Can you give an example of the bomb?

[A]

I forget who said this to me. The other day, she said the only difference between, like, love bombing and the guy who actually means it is just that he likes you.

[B]

Oh, yes. And he's not just in it for himself. I feel like a love bomb. He's essentially loving you for him, not for you.

[A]

Well, it's just. Is this to manipulate somebody or not? That's the only difference is, like, when somebody starts telling me how amazing I am, I'm just like, yeah, yeah, I know.

[B]

But what sucks is you get love bombed and then you get ghosted after having sex, and then you think the next guy is just love bombing you, but he might be sincere and then it's all ruined.

[A]

No, it ruins it for people that really mean it. I try to, like, not let the sins of the people in the past affect anybody in the future. And again, when people tell me that I'm amazing, I'm just like you, right?

[B]

Damn.

[A]

And he knows me pretty well. So, like the love bombing was like. I was like, well, obviously he believes this stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We're friends for a long time, man.

[B]

And yeah. You don't expect it. Oh, that's a long game. Love bomb.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Friends for years.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Oh, you know the lesson.

[B]

And then you go. Then you go. Well, he's never told me this, so he must have been thinking it the whole time.

[A]

Here's the lesson is I should stop sleeping with my friends.

[B]

Yes. If I. Dude, there is like, there are things that guys do and I think probably women, but speaking as a guy where you might have sex and then you could come off ghosting where it's like, what a piece of. But it might be so. He might be so insecure in himself and like who he is and the awkwardness that happened because of it that he'll. But I don't think him. But I'm.

[A]

Loves himself.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He is so self impressed now. Yeah, we'll talk about it at lunch.

[B]

Anyhow.

[A]

[C]

I know, I have been hearing about it and seeing it everywhere.

[A]

I just saw Gwyneth was talking about Addy and I heard some other celebrities like Jenny Garth say Addie has helped them.

[C]

I love knowing that lo libido is becoming less faux pas to discuss and women can talk about what's really helping them. And for many of them, that's Addie.

[A]

Okay, our next headline. This is a big one. Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds comes to a dramatic End. Are you familiar with the lawsuit?

[B]

I am. I am somewhere.

[A]

I'm not going to test you out.

[B]

I thought you were going to go into a test. Okay, yes, I know that she first civil case, sued him and then he countersued for $400 million. Which by the way, if you get sued, like what's a number? That would be like insulting, you know what I mean? Like 400 million. If someone sued me for four, that's how successful they think I am. It is a subtle flex to get sued for a shit ton of money.

[A]

I would be so flattered.

[B]

I know. So this is not $400. I'd be flattered.

[A]

That article couch.

[B]

Yeah, I gotta get that cigar, baby.

[A]

So by the way, they have a court date scheduled for March of 2026. So this lawsuit that she filed against him is still going forward. This is the countersuit. So he filed a countersuit against her for 400 million. He filed like a larger suit in response. So in June 2025, the judge dismissed the $400 million lawsuit, finding that many statements by Lively were legally protected and legal standards for defamation or extortion were at met. And he was allowed to file an amendment complaint. And the deadline was in, was October 31st. And he just didn't.

[B]

I know, but something I saw is. So he could then appeal. It'd be easier for him to appeal in the future.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because it seems like some like an error that if you had a good lawyer and they just forgot to do that. That's insane. Obviously there's probably a reason behind it.

[A]

I mean, I just think it's so funny. This is a 400 million dollar lawsuit. They just forgot.

[B]

There's no way they just forgot. It would be amazing though if they did. It would be incredible.

[A]

This is like so much ado about nothing you're gonna forget.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. You know like crazy.

[A]

The amount of text messages and phone calls, voice notes, video that they subpoenaed that was released to the public and he just. They just forgot.

[B]

I know, it kind of reminds me of like. Well, no, it's actually nothing like that, but if you get your real estate license, you just have to like renew and it. And it costs, it costs like $15 to renew and then you just don't do it. And then it just ruins your whole. Like that's what it reminds me of, of like such a. Such a simple thing after you've done so much.

[A]

So much.

[B]

Which isn't a real estate well for all you realtors out there.

[A]

But this is unearthing so much, like, personal information and communication between, like, him and Blake Lively and the other cast and the production, and to just be like, dude, I got busy.

[B]

My b. There was a $500 million lawsuit. Sorry, you cheap ass bitch.

[A]

But I got really. I got nervous when I saw the headline because, like, I all has been building to this for me. I've been. I'm, like, foaming at the mouth for March 2026 for this lawsuit to go forward. And I thought it all went away. And hope is not lost. We will get the lawsuit. So Blake Lively's suit, the original claims against him are still alive and well.

[B]

And scheduled for next year, and that's a civil case. So she's just going to go after money as well. I don't know exactly how much part of this, too. I think he wanted his lawyers just to focus on that case for now. I think that was the other reason why they ignored it. But, yeah. Is it going to be televised? Is it going to be on?

[A]

God, I hope so.

[B]

Oh, it would be huge.

[A]

Like, the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

I mean, I can't remember, like, what the.

[B]

Like, I just remember the poop. That's all I remember is the poop. The poop that was left on a pillow. And that's all you know.

[A]

But, like, what are the standards for televising a court case? I actually don't know.

[B]

Depends how hot they are. They look like the Louvre guys.

[A]

Fake Louvre guys. Andrew, you really lit me up on that one.

[B]

My bad. I didn't mean to call you out.

[A]

Can any trial be televised or type in?

[B]

Is Blake Lively's trial gonna be televised.

[A]

In the U.S. okay, it says no. Not any crime. Any trial can be televised in the US it varies by court, with federal crime trials being prohibited, while most state courts allow cameras at a judge's discretion.

[B]

I find it weird that any court cases are televised.

[A]

I find it crazy, too. Federal civil and bankruptcy proceedings may have live audio accidents, but federal criminal trials are generally not televised. So a criminal trial, but this is a civil suit.

[B]

Just, like, it's not going to be on tv.

[A]

No, they're saying, like, just like the poop thing with Amber Heard, that's a civil suit. It's not a criminal trial.

[B]

Oh, so. Oh, wow.

[A]

But, like, wasn't O.J. simpson televised?

[B]

See that. Honestly, with so much at stake, I think what happens is, I think TV stations and the news is all behind that as well, because they know it's Going to just add ratings everywhere.

[A]

You think it's about big TV?

[B]

Yeah, it's about big TV.

[A]

Okay, so this. I mean, ChatGPT says the Blake Lively trial is not expected to be televised because it's taking place in a federal court which has strict rules prohibiting cameras in the courtroom, while some limited pretrial hearings might access. Blah, blah, blah. The main trial itself will not be televised. What a.

[B]

She would have been great on the stand.

[A]

God damn, I wish I could.

[B]

She'll have, like, mascara running.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

From, like, the town.

[A]

Andrew, I'm so sad about this.

[B]

You know, I used to walk a dog in the building where Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively live.

[A]

Wait, I've been to that building.

[B]

I can't say the address.

[A]

I've been to that building and I recorded with you.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

Right.

[B]

Maybe.

[A]

Who's this guy?

[B]

I saw them all the time. I used to work out at the gym in the building. And they're like, why is the dog walker working out in the gym? It was weird, but yeah.

[A]

Okay. The Dodgers won the World Series.

[B]

Yes, they did.

[A]

Second time in a row.

[B]

First time at Ashley's wedding.

[A]

Okay, can I just tell you how funny this is? Ashley's wedding was game seven of the World Series in Los Angeles.

[B]

I know.

[A]

And every man at that wedding had a phone out on mute up under the centerpiece. Every man's eyes were at the center of the table. And somebody even said to me, our video actually was, like, a lot of the guys seem to be, like, fighting with their girlfriends. Did you notice that? And I go, no, they're all watching the World Series.

[B]

Yeah. And all the women were getting mad that we were watching.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And there were a lot of, like, silent fist pumps and stuff. And it's like. But people were still involved. People were able to multitask. I feel like people are able to watch a game. We're trained enough as men to do both.

[A]

I was sitting with you and my agent, and so I lie, me and my agent together. And the two of you had a little camera, but you guys paid attention to the speeches. You weren't being, like, total assholes.

[B]

No, no. Yeah. And look, it was an amazing game. Like, it was hard to compete, but that's how great the wedding was, because it still managed to get our attention.

[A]

That's so true.

[B]

Yeah. Because that's not easy to compete against. I mean, it literally went to the 11th inning, and they won by one run. LA won, which is crazy.

[A]

That was a crazy game. And to have it be at her wedding at one point one of my friends husbands walked by me with one AirPod in and I was.

[B]

Yeah, I saw a guy in full uniform and like taking back. That was the Halloween party, the wedding. No, it was, it was interesting. There were definitely a couple times where guys were like, yes. And it wasn't for the speech. It wasn't. But it was like.

[A]

So the game started during the ceremony. The first inning was during the ceremony. Do you think that people were listening to the.

[B]

I know there was one guy there apparently who was watching during the ceremony part and that's the first inning and that is uncalled for. Like they. It's one thing to check in in the 10th inning when the game's on the line. If you're like listening to the pre game while you're. Yeah, yeah. It was insane.

[A]

That is so crazy. Like unless you work for the team, there is no excuse. I don't care if you are the number one fan on. Unless you previously played for the team. Honestly, even that you have. How many innings are out of base?

[B]

Nine. Nine.

[A]

It's the first inning. You could skip it.

[B]

It's a wild thing to do.

[A]

It's insane. Honestly, like even football games if like the teams are pretty equally matched, I don't need to watch until the fourth quarter.

[B]

Quarter. Yes, it's a, It's a wild thing. Unless he had money on the game or money on first inning.

[A]

All right, so I don't have anything else to say about the Dodgers winning the World Series, do you?

[B]

No, just that they, they're. I mean, look, they. What's beautiful about their team is it's diverse. It's very diverse. And people were talking about that, especially nowadays with how things that are going down is that diversity is a strength and that that's amazing that they were able to win with that. But they also have like a billion dollar salary cap and they pay more money than anyone El. So it kind of balances out. But yeah, no, it's cool to see them win. I like their team. I like Ohtani, who's literally like Babe Ruth. He's the guy that pitches and hits.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Good looking, Asian man.

[A]

I don't know one thing about baseball. I mean, you could ask me to name more than four teams. I couldn't do it.

[B]

What is it? Yeah, it's so. It's so amazing how much useless information guys have in regards to sports and that takes up their brain. Yes, useless. Like I know who has like the third most ever home runs. It's like, why is that in my Brain.

[A]

My dad knows that stuff. My dad and my brother have, like, dedicated their lives to, like, sports stats.

[B]

But they can't remember, like, when the flight is with your wife.

[A]

He doesn't remember my birthday.

[B]

Well, this is what you got to do. You got to look up what happened that day in baseball and then combine the two so he'll never forget.

[A]

My dad really would remember my birthday.

[B]

If you gave him a stat.

[A]

100%. 100%. The stat wasn't. Isn't that your daughter was born today.

[B]

What is your birthday? What is your birthday?

[A]

June 17th. All right, look, and I'll tell you how easy. Me, my brother and my mom were all born on the 17th of different months.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So like, well, that gets tough. All he has to do is remember the month. Not as long as he knows we're in June.

[B]

I would argue that's harder based on why? Because they're all 17. So then he has to. Yes. He just has to remember the month. But he has to remember which month.

[A]

You think it's harder to remember which month I was born?

[B]

I don't know this everyone. 17 complicates things.

[A]

I'll give you another stat on this one. My dad is born the same month as me. So we're both.

[B]

Yeah. Now you're twins. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, no. It gets worse.

[A]

I have to text him all the time, tell him it's my brother's birthday. My brother did have to text me and tell me it was my sister in law's birthday though. You know, I did forget.

[B]

Covid. Isn't that fun? That'd be so great to just use that stuff.

[A]

I'm pretty self involved and everyone knows that, so I. It's fine.

[B]

I don't know what month it is. I don't pay attention to dates anymore. Our jobs are very weird like that. If we had a normal job and it's like, this is the month, the week, everyone. Labor Day. You get off and like, you concentrate on the calendar. This is summer break for the kids. This is when school starts. Then this is when my daughter's birthday is.

[A]

But I could tell you the dates of pretty much all of our live shows for the last, like seven years. That information I have.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

When's your birthday?

[B]

April 18th.

[A]

What's that? What's the sign associated with that?

[B]

I'm an Aries on the cusp of Taurus.

[A]

Okay, you didn't quite make it to Taurus. No, Taurus men are famously terrible. So you're right under the right end of the cup.

[B]

I feel More Aries, from what I've heard.

[A]

What's an Aries, man?

[B]

Just huge cock.

[A]

I don't want to know.

[B]

No, obviously it's not.

[A]

You give boyfriend dick energy.

[B]

That's exactly how my wife describes. Well, husband dick energy, I guess.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah. No, you famously have described where you can have sex multiple times and you can still, you know, go skiing that day.

[A]

You're not ripped to shreds.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yes. I definitely didn't say ski. It wasn't an outdoor activity. It was like, take a walk. You could take a walk without being in pain the next day.

[B]

No, that describes me pretty well.

All right, well, we're gonna just take one more quick ad break, and then we'll get right back into it. This episode is brought to you by Saks Fifth Avenue. So Ashley and I have been talking about Saks for weeks now, and I just. I love it more and more all the time. It makes shopping feel, like, really personal. And with fall coming up and it's time to gift other people, it is a perfect place to go for, like, a holiday shop. So if you go to their site right now, they have a holiday gift section. They have for her, for him. Beauty gifts. They bestselling gifts. And it's a massive range. So if you want to get somebody perfume, if you want to get somebody a jacket, jewelry, shoes. I think shopping for men is, like, really, really tough and thinking of things that, like, everybody doesn't have little gifty things. I mean, there's Santal candles. There are Prada hair clips.

[B]

Love it.

[A]

The range on this is huge. They have these amazing coffee mug set by Zwilling. Zwilling. Zwilling. I'm gonna butcher the name of that. They have pajamas, they have bags, they have lipsticks. I mean, it's just. I'm not a great gift giver, and I tend to type in what to get for him. And you get all the same articles, and then you end up just buying the same people the same stuff every single year. And so I like what Saks. And, you know, you're not just gonna be giving them the same gifts that everybody else is giving. It's like, through your own personal style. You do everything, like, on your agenda right there. So if you want to get something for kids, for your man, for your parents, everything is right there. And if you're like me and you're looking for something just, like, a little bit different, there's great ideas, there's a ton of brands, huge range of prices and options. So shopping can be fun and Easy. You can head to Saks Fifth Avenue for inspiring ways to elevate your personal style and your gift giving every single day.

[B]

Love that.

And they're so many products that are heavy and packed with ingredients, and you don't want them on your skin. And it's so interesting because we put so much money and time into our skincare routines. But sometimes what's in makeup, the thing that sits on your face and your body the longest throughout the day, can kind of be an afterthought. And I love what Merit Beauty is doing. It's simple, clean essentials that don't sort of overwhelm you. It's a minimalist beauty brand. They have elevated makeup and skincare designed to help you look put together in minutes. So that's what I'm wearing. I just have. Since I've been introduced to this company, I'm just loving it. Their bestsellers are proof of why less is really more. So they have a flush balm that gives you this natural, healthy glow without kind of overdoing it. Sometimes I just find those Things to be just like, a little much. And one is sold every 30. Was sold every 30 seconds in 2024. That's how good it is. They have. Then there's the minimalist, which sort of works like a double duty as a foundation and concealer so you can get quick coverage without layering on a bunch of products. And again, that's the thing that's going to sit on your face all day long. Why wouldn't you want something of the highest quality? And if it's no makeup day, you can do Merit's great skin serum. That's really all you need. It instantly hydrates you and plumps you for this, like, fresh, dewy look. I'm just. I'm really loving it. And as I get older, it's more and more important to me to think about what is on my face and body all day long. So right now, Merit Beauty is offering our listeners their signature makeup bag with your first [e-mail] that's. That's me. R I T beauty.com to get your free signature makeup bag with your first order, meritbeauty.com. all right, I'm gonna talk about this People magazine article. Rich Talk influencer Becca Bloom breaks down controversial relationship rules with her husband, who pays for everything. So if you've never been on like, Rich Talk, Becca Bloom, really famous for just sort of talking about her lifestyle. She seems, like, very sweet and cute. She talks about her private chef and her homes and her clothing. And, I mean, people are obsessed with just watching just the depth of wealth in this girl's life. She recently got married, and this TikTok that she posted went really viral. She posted it with her now husband about the rules that they have with each other to make their relationship better. So I had you watch this so you could weigh in on it. I thought it'd be a fun relationship topic. So here's the rules. We never talk negatively about each other in front of other people. If I have something to say to them, I'll say that to their face.

[B]

Okay. When I talked about calling the cops earlier with Brenna and us fighting, I was kidding. That wasn't real.

[A]

I know.

[B]

I would never talk badly about.

[A]

I find it crazy when people speak about their partner negatively in public.

[B]

Yeah. But I do think that there's, like, a level. If it's in front of each other, I think you should be able to do it. I think you should be able to make fun of one another and having an audience in front of and not be like, I can't believe.

[A]

Can't you feel, like, the difference, though? Like, it's a very distinct difference of couples when they're like both in on it and. And then when one person is just kind of like ragging on the other person. I see it in comedy a lot too. Like when I hear comedians speak about their partners, there's just a tone. You know it instantly when, like, the partner's kind of in on it or when the partner is just there as like the butt of the joke.

[B]

Yes, you can feel that. You could also sense, like, oh, this relationship's not gonna last long. They're getting divorced soon. Because she or he seems very angry about the most minute things ever. And if this is what they're mad about, I can only imagine what's happening behind closed doors. Behind closed doors, totally.

[A]

Okay, the next one is once a week, he says. I sit back and down. I compliment her for an hour straight.

[B]

Okay. If you watch this video, by the way, going just real quick to the first one, watch his smile when she says, we never talk bad about each other in front of people. We never do that. And it focuses on his face and he has a smile like he's been locked in a cage for like a decade. And she only feeds him like pizza rolls like through the cage. And he just goes, we never, like, you'll see he's trapped. There's a man trapped in there. If you watch the video anyhow, I.

[A]

Just want to not stick up for him. But like, when you're not used to being on camera and somebody is in front of you talking and you're behind them, I do think you're kind of like, I don't know where to look or what to do with my body.

[B]

You mean trapped? You mean trapped? He's trapped. I'm telling you. That's what I got. No, she is a very. It's very dark, this video I see, and maybe I'm projecting onto it, but I'm telling you right now that that second thing of the compliment for an hour each week, one sided is psychopathic. It's crazy. I don't know. I don't know why it, like, really bothered me. Just imagine, okay, an hour, one hour of me complimenting you.

[A]

Just imagine it. Imagine it right now.

[B]

Every week, every week, every day. Oh, my God. This is insanity. It is fake, it's performative. It's not real and it's selfish and I hate it.

[A]

Well, here's the. I like her. And we don't rag on women on the show.

[B]

I'm not ragging on women. I'm ragging on an influencer who happens to be a woman. Okay, if you. If I. Okay, how can I come up each an hour each week of compliments? How. How's that possible?

[A]

A fresh hour is interesting each week. Each week a fresh hour.

[B]

Does she give him compliments?

[A]

That was not part of the video.

[B]

I love women. I don't want. This is not women bashing. Okay, here. This is how it would be. I love your, like, nails. I really like your hands, like, eventually, like, okay, your hair is nice. You have a great personality. I like your laugh.

[A]

Well, you would have to talk about something that happened.

[B]

You know how long that was? Seven seconds.

[A]

It was the best seven seconds of my life.

[B]

Your birthday's June 17th.

[A]

That was the best 17 seconds of my life. And honestly, listen, what we all strive for is a partner that you don't need to have, like, dedicated schedule compliment time. Right. You just want somebody that like, you know, thinks you're the best thing in the world, like, all the time.

[B]

Yes, that's fine. It has to be organic.

[A]

Okay, Andrew, let me ask you. What if it was turned around? What if you got an hour of compliments from Brenna every week? That would feel nice.

[B]

I would hate it. I would hate it. I'd feel like they're all lies. There's no way I would put that on someone.

[A]

Okay, well, if you hate that rule, you're really hate the third rule.

[B]

That one really bothered me though. But go ahead, let me see. Because this video, I was cringe. I was walking around New York City, like, literally, like I had hair coming up on my arms. I was so angry.

[A]

Okay, but here's the thing. I. When I look at couples and I'm like, I would never do this thing that they do if it works for them.

[B]

But does it?

[A]

They're married. I'm not.

[B]

Okay, what's the third one?

[A]

Okay, number three. She says, I'm very lucky to have my own finances been in our relationship. David pays for everything. And he says, isn't that the bare minimum? Because your time really is valuable. And in the past, when he is, she says, when he's wasted my time. I sent him an invoice. So it's two. It's twofold. He pays for everything?

[B]

Yes. I send him an invoice. I mean, it is. And she's a billionaire. It is just so diabolical and how this is like, visceral for me because it's just so selfish and so self involved. But I think why it's so annoying is because, like, if someone was doing something so blatantly bad, people can, like, go, that's terrible. What she does is people go, wow, you really value yourself. You're so. I wish I had this. Like, it's like. It's like hiding in plain sight to me that she's a monster.

[A]

Listen, I can't relate to them. I mean, the words of Kendrick Lamar, they not like us. I'm not. I can't relate to that. When two people are so rich that money doesn't matter at all. Like, they're sending each other invoices. It's hilarious. Like, if there was a power dynamic and an imbalance of finances. Different.

[B]

Okay. Oh, so you're saying that the invoices. It's funny.

[A]

I'm saying, like, at that level, who cares? It's not like one of them makes a ton of money, the other one doesn't. I think they have so much money, it doesn't matter. He could invoice her for a million dollars. It wouldn't matter.

[B]

So him even paying for things is, like, fun? It's like pretend.

[A]

Yes. It's like. It's water under the bridge.

[B]

Okay. I don't know. I feel like in a relationship, when that stuff happens and it's just expected, and it's like, this is what he does. I don't know. I don't think it ends well.

[A]

I don't think you're supposed to take relationship advice from these people. I wouldn't take relationship advice from anybody that their life doesn't have anything to do with mine. Their consequences are different than mine. Their standard of living is different than mine. That's why I find this, like, blanket relationship advice so stupid. When people are just like, leave him. Break up with him, all that stuff. It's like, I don't know. Other people want kids. I don't. So they have to operate a certain way in the world. Some people really need to rely on the finances of their partner. I'm never gonna have to do that. I built a life so that thankfully, hopefully, somebody can just rely on me. Somebody can invoice me.

[B]

Well, maybe that is why I'm projecting so much, because I still, you know, I'm not doing terribly, but I'm not. You know, rent's expensive in New York. Like, we still have to. Me and my wife, she's an esthetician. We still do have to balance our. Our budget to be able to pay rent. And it's still, like. It's like it's forced on us to like, have to deal with who pays for what. And they're just like, I pay for this. I invite you. Maybe that's why I'm so angry, because of my own finances.

[A]

I think that, like, you, we as a society should be able to objectively look at content and be like, this does not apply to me.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, okay. Now in that sense. But these guys are great.

[A]

Listen, it's rage bait. It's time. I'm just. All of this is rage bait.

[B]

Yeah, but if you look at the comments, I thought it was going to be all hate, but it's like, I wish I had this. You go, girl. You're amazing. I wish I had a boy like this. And not one person. Like, like one comment was like, negative.

[A]

This is gross. I mean, people love her. She's really crazy. She's sort of interesting because she's not open to feedback. And you can't have like a one sided fight with somebody. Like, she's like, try to cancel me. I'm never gonna acknowledge this, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, so we always wrap up with headlines. I'm gonna breeze through two and then we actually have like a guest. We have a caller today. It's Ashley. She sent me a headline. So the headlines that I wrote, chrishell Stause reveals what Selling Sunset producers refused to air. So there's some drama and tea on the set of Selling Sunset where Chrishell was basically saying she was forced into these scenes with people and forced to fight with people. Like, what else is new? It's reality tv. Britney Spears deletes Instagram account after a series of. Of cryptic posts. You know, I always root for Britney. It's just, you know, I want her to relax a little bit and she deserves that. Just maybe get off Instagram for a little. And then our final headline, which I didn't know anything about, Ashley said, are you guys gonna talk about the ERICA Kirk and J.D. vance hug? I don't know about it. And you do?

[B]

I do.

[A]

Let's close with that.

[B]

I know too much about it.

[A]

Teach me.

[B]

Okay, we all know Erica Kirk, Charlie Kirk's wife. Obviously the murder was terrible. JD Vance has now she's gone on like a tour like promoting Turning Point. And now it's just weird. They're like forcing J.D. vance to fill the role of her husband. Her ex husband, her late husband.

[A]

Well, he immediately hosted. Co hosted the pod, the Carly Charlie Kirk podcast following his murder.

[B]

Yes. Okay, so she brings him on. Before bringing him on stage, she goes, you know, this man is amazing. I See qualities of my husband in this man. Like, but it, like. And then he brought. She brought up his wife for a second, but it kind of felt like shade. So he's married to an Indian woman. And a lot of these people that love Turning Point are just. They want white Christians and that's it. And she's Indian and Hindu, so. So, okay, so then she brings up JD Vance and they embrace. If you saw your man getting hugged like this, not only does it hug, he grabs her hips underneath, like her waist on her ass. Like he's. He has two fingers on her ass, right? She has her hands in his hair, stroking his head with her fingers with her. And just. And it's long. And then she's wearing black leather pants and he's in there and it's like literally like seven seconds of this embrace.

[A]

It's too long for a.

[B]

It's too long. And when does a hand go on the back of another of a husband's hand?

[A]

My hand is only back there on somebody I'm sleeping with.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I'm not accusing them of sleeping. I'm just saying, like that the only time I touch the back of a man's head like that. Sex.

[B]

Sex. And so then JD Vance gets on stage and in his speech, he talks about his wife being Hindu and how he wishes she would convert to Christianity. So you tell me if they're not gonna get separated and divorced and he's gonna end up with Erica Kirk. Cause she's blonde hair, blue eyed. So when he makes a run for presidency, they're gonna team up together.

[A]

Okay, this is a hot take.

[B]

All right.

[A]

We're gonna close the episode out with that hot take. Andrea, thank you for being here. My first ever co host. That is not. Ashley, how do you feel?

[B]

I think I did terrible.

[A]

Andrew, you were great.

[B]

[A]
