Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Kitchen Sink App Launch (Ashley’s Husband’s Creation) — [01:12–05:10]

• Ashley plugs her husband’s new AI-powered recipe app, “Kitchen Sink,” describing it as “so simple, but just so needed” ([01:25]).
• The app lets users input available ingredients, dietary restrictions, skill level, and group size, then delivers three recipe options: Basic, Classic, and Creative.
• Rayna enthusiastically backs the app:

  “Somebody who's been in the food space for a long time… this is all I've ever wanted. I have this shit at home, I have this equipment… what do I make?” ([02:18])

• Features include color themes (“I’m a paprika girl” — Ashley, [04:09]), meal prep mode, metric/imperial options, and shareable recipe cards.

2. Divorce Reports: Social Media Couple Christy & Desmond — [05:17–10:22]

• Background: Popular Instagram couple with millions of followers; did a lavish “redo” wedding in late 2024.
• Infidelity Fallout:

  “She filed for divorce… and she cited infidelity. Like, she made it clear it wasn’t irreconcilable differences. Like, she’s like — he cheated.” — Ashley ([06:36])

• Desmond’s Public Admission: Admitted to cheating while they were contemplating separation.
• Desmond was spotted making out with a model just 48 hours after the divorce announcement.
• Memorable shade:

  “She posted… all dressed up… caption: ‘same address.’ So basically, I’m keeping the house.” — Ashley ([09:14])

• The case is a reminder that even ‘aspirational’ couples online may have hidden dysfunction.

3. Divorce Reports: Kyle & Amanda from “Summer House” — [10:22–18:39]

• Joint Announcement:

  “This is just like, spit out, AI-generated same divorce announcement.” — Rayna ([10:36])

• History of Toxicity: Referencing years of public fights, cheating, and poor treatment aired on Bravo.

  “I think that everybody deserves better. I’ve watched him… yell, scream, and embarrass her and treat her poorly on national television for a decade.” — Rayna ([11:18])

• The couple’s professional and financial ties (e.g., Loverboy beverage brand) made splitting up especially hard.
• Prenup Regrets:

  "Back then... 'I don't believe in prenups.' ... Now, 'Everybody needs a prenup, get a prenup.'” — Rayna ([18:18])

• Both hosts see Amanda’s newfound freedom as positive; the overwhelming online response is supportive for her.

4. The Beckham Family Drama Explodes on Instagram — [19:03–28:46]

• Background: Brooklyn Beckham (eldest son of Victoria & David) and his wife Nicola Peltz embroiled in a public feud with his family.
• Brooklyn finally “breaks his silence” in a series of intense Instagram stories:

  “It's like he's been bubbling over and he's like, I am finally ready to drag my family.” — Ashley ([21:04])

• Allegations:
  • Victoria Beckham (Brooklyn’s mom) canceled Nicola’s wedding dress last minute.
  • Victoria hijacked the first dance at their wedding; Nicola ran out in tears ([23:16]).
  • Pressure to publicly “earn love” by promoting family.
• Broader Take:

  “No matter how rich and successful you are… it does seem like somebody who feels really traumatized by having grown up in this family.” — Rayna ([22:07])

• Memorable speculation:

  “I wanna see this video. I've never wanted a video more in my entire life.” — Rayna ([23:51])

• Hosts note the Peltz family’s far greater wealth (“fuck my millionaire family, I'm gonna take the name of this billionaire family” — Ashley, [26:09]).
• Conclusion: The drama underscores how even the most glamorous and wealthy families can be deeply dysfunctional.

5. Nostalgia for 2016: The Viral Trend — [30:45–37:33]

• Both hosts reflect on the viral social media trend where users post 2016 photo dumps and reminisce about that pre-Trump, pre-TikTok social media era.
• Ashley:

  “That was the beginning of the dismantling of our democracy… before that, it was so hopeful… the vibes were high.” ([32:00])

• Both recall 2016’s Instagram aesthetic (blue-tinted filters, flower crowns, and authentic feed posts before “things got too produced”).
• Rayna laments the rise of TikTok:

  “You can't go anywhere in the West Village… without waiting in line for an hour and 20 minutes… it was better times. I just enjoyed being able to have access without waiting in line.” ([33:00])

• Both agree: “2016 felt less performative, less consumerist, and more authentic” compared to today’s social media landscape.

6. “Tell Me Lies” Season 3: Recap & Hot Takes — [39:06–47:21]

• Show’s dark turn:

  “It is so dark… the first two seasons, yes, they were heavy… but it felt a little lighter. There was more sex scenes. I think it has progressively gotten darker.” — Rayna ([39:37])

• Major content warnings: grooming, predatory professors, and an especially “sick and dark” episode ([41:54]).

  “...when he films her confessing to faking this rape. It's so sick and dark. The show took a different tone to me after that scene.” — Rayna ([41:54])

• On the characters: Steven is “a mentally ill psychopath” (Ashley, [41:20]), whereas Lucy is just “a really lost kid.”
• Both hosts are invested in the peripheral characters and story arcs, especially Diana and Pippa.
• They critique Bree’s “helmet” haircut and speculate on future plotlines and character fates.

7. Quick Pop Culture & Sports Headlines — [48:25–53:33]

• Euphoria Season 3 trailer sets records: 100 million views in two days. “People have just been really edging for this.” — Rayna ([48:25])
• Indiana University football: massive turnaround, first national championship victory.

  “I did not graduate. So I guess it's not really my alma mater. It's where I hung out for four years, plus the summer, and never graduated…” — Rayna ([50:07])

• Ludacris pulls out of Kid Rock’s MAGA festival after fan backlash, calling the booking a mistake. Disappointment from Ashley:

  “Ludacris has been an unproblematic king for decades… I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.” ([51:53])

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Ashley on seeing seemingly perfect couples break up:

  "…You just never know. And of course, I’m not saying that couples that appear to be perfect all have this going on behind closed doors, but it’s just a reminder…" ([09:33])

• Rayna on breakup announcements:

  "I have such a problem with the canned divorce announcements. …Amanda Batula, of all people, should have been like, 'I'm sure this comes as no surprise that Kyle and I are getting divorced.'" ([10:36])

• On toxic relationships in reality TV:

  “He seemed like somebody that wants to Peter Pan his way through life… and you can go do that, but you don’t get to drag somebody through the fucking mud with you.” — Rayna ([17:13])

• Rayna’s bemusement at Beckham drama:

  “This is above my pay grade… This is white nonsense.” ([21:04], paraphrasing Blakely Thornton)

  “That was probably my most transformational year of my life.” ([32:00])

This episode is a masterclass in pop culture dissection: funny, occasionally biting, and always keen to remind listeners that there’s more to every headline — but also, sometimes, it’s okay to just laugh at the mess.

Transcript

[A]

This week on the Snack Beckham family drama Tell Me Lies and why we want it to be 2016 again.

[B]

This is a Dear Media production.

[A]

Enjoy.

[B]

Hi, guys. Hi. Big week.

[A]

Oh, the tea has been hot and flowing.

[B]

I mean, there was this tweet she said, big day for Instagram stories.

[A]

Yeah, it's a big day for Instagram stories. We will get into it.

[B]

Listen, I hate to see other people having drama, but I love to talk about it.

[A]

Let's start it out like, we don't take joy in other people's. We don't take pleasure in other people's pain. But the show is about the drama. The show. Our show. Our show.

[B]

The drama.

[A]

We are going to talk about it.

[B]

Well, we're going to just thank our partner and then we're going to get right into it. Thank you. To Shopify, if 2026 is your year, go to shopify.com GGE and make your move.

[A]

Okay, well, since we only have one partner today, I wanted to plug another, add another part, another partner to the show. So my husband, husband Shashank, who in honor of him, I'm wearing my new sweatshirt from the Tick Tock shop. Go on YouTube if you want to read it. Just leave you on a cliffhanger.

[B]

Are you not gonna tell me what it says?

[A]

I'm not gonna tell you. You can read it, but anywhere anyone else can go to the. To YouTube and watch.

[B]

I notice this. I've been knowing about this.

[A]

This got me. Have you seen this? Like, if you ever get served these, like, you. These sweatshirts, you just have to have them.

[B]

No, I. They got me on skincare the other day.

[A]

Okay. I just loaded up me. It's too quick and easy. Anyway, so he has completely created, designed, and launched this app called Kitchen Sink. And I've just, like, loved watching it come to life and excited to share it with you guys. And it is a recipe app and it is so simple, but just so, like, what's needed in the world. And it's so special. It looks so great and it's so fun to use. And you can download it for free. Go to the App Store. I'll. We'll put a little screenshot up on the screen. Kitchen Sink recipe Builder. And you just say what you want to cook that night and you can list ingredients you already have in your fridge and it will build recipes surrounding that. Or you can just be like, I don't have anything and create a shopping list for me. And you can export the shopping list. There's all these cool features, but Basically if you were like, I have chicken and rice and I want to make it for this many people. You put in, the amount of people, you put in, how much time you want to spend on. And then it gives you three options.

[B]

It's not just a recipe app. I really love it. Somebody who's been in like the food space for a long time. I've seen every app, I've seen every dumb idea. I. This is a like totally AI generated, like what am I going to cook today? Type of app. And I said to him, I am having like, I feel really bloated and I need something that's gonna power wash my colon.

[A]

Oh my God.

[B]

And he was like, I got you. And he spit out this recipe for this like lentil stew on the app. And you really can just, you can say anything. I have ex dietary restrictions. I wanna cook something at like a beginner level. I have three ingredients in my fridge or nothing in my fridge. Like, what can I make? And like this. Just like it's all I've ever wanted. I've always just wanted to be like, I have this shit at home, I have this equipment at home, like what do I make?

[A]

Yeah. So ex. When you put in what you want to make and the ingredients that you have or don't have and you can list your dietary restrictions like Raina said, it gives you three options, basic, classic and creative. So just essentially easy, intermediate and a little more difficult if you're a pro. And it gives you your ingredients, your steps, your shopping list and then it gives you additional notes. You can save all the recipes, you can share them. There's a share feature, you can add photos and you can change the color.

[B]

It's just, it's what I've wanted always. And I think that like people with kids really or people that mom like, I just think you're like, I don't know what to make. And like my mom, this was like the hardest thing for her as like a single mom every day to come home from work, open up the fridge and I was amazed by her. She like created magic out of the fridge every day. But like, yeah, I mean to have an app to tell you to do this, I've always wanted something like that.

[A]

It's so great. My brother and my sister in law have been using it like our family's been using. We've been testing it for a while now and it's just really so special and it looks so good and it's so, so easy to use again. You can choose your color, theme Sage, paprika, juniper, or espresso. We had so much fun coming up with those names. So I'm a paprika girl.

[B]

I know. I was going to choose paprika as well.

[A]

You can also do meal prep mode. If you're prepping for the week, you want to make, like, five of something, and it'll walk you through it. It's so easy. You can do your metric units. You can mix that up, and it's really easy to use, and it's free, and you guys can check it out and just support our family business. And so I can stop working.

[B]

I would love to retire. I would love for him to retire.

[A]

Both of us. Exactly. I just.

[B]

I love this. And honestly, it is my nightmare that a friend of mine is like, my husband created this app, and I'm like, oh, God, it's so stupid. I was, like, so amped when he told me about this. I can't. I was just. I just text him about it, like, ideas, and he's like, it's already in there. It's already in that. I just.

[A]

I love it. Yes. And everybody is so into it. And this is not. He is doing another app, which we talked about when he was on the podcast. That's different. But this is one that really speaks to us and our audience. And it's like cooking. And if you're staring into the fridge, what the fuck do I do? This is the app for you, so please download it on the App Store, support it, so Rain and I can retire. I'm just kidding.

[B]

Okay, drop the name again.

[A]

Kitchen sink.

[B]

Okay, let's talk about who named it.

[A]

Obviously your girl. Yeah.

[B]

The colors, the names.

[A]

No, I just named it Guess who.

[B]

Signed up on the social media look and vibe.

[A]

Okay, we'll check that out, you guys. And we are going to some other couples. Yes. We are going to kick this off with a divorce report. You hate to see it, but that's what's happening in the world.

[B]

You know, if people are going to move on and have better lives and feel happier, I love to see it.

[A]

Yeah. You know, exactly. Okay, so I'm going to. Just going to start with Christy and Desmond, so I will school you a little on this. You're not that familiar with this couple. So this is a social media couple. Millions of followers between the two of them. Her, she is 18 million or something. He has millions. I mean, they're crazy. So Shashank actually showed them to me first. She would be doing, like, four flips and stuff, and she would put on, like, A crazy outfit to go take a walk around the block. And he would be reacting to it. And people just loved them. They felt very aspirational. They're gorgeous. They have their dream home, their two kids. They met when they were 19 and 20. They got married in 2014. They live in Houston. And then in 2024, towards the end of the year, they did, like, a redo wedding because they got married so young and they did their whole, like, tenure.

[B]

20, they just got remarried.

[A]

They did a redo wedding. Yeah, essentially, yes. That's what I'm saying.

[B]

That is. Listen, that is the kiss of death.

[A]

What?

[B]

It is. Everybody on Real Housewives, every single time somebody does, like, a vow renewal, they get divorced. Yeah. This always happens. It's really. It's sad. Okay, so Ramona Shannon Bedor. I mean, you. Every one of them divorced in a year.

[A]

That is so crazy. I didn't know that, Lore. So, yeah, they did their wedding redo and like, I guess towards the end of 2024. And again, people really love them. And she filed for divorce on December 30, 2025. So just a few weeks ago, it became public, like, last week, January 10th or something. And she cited infidelity. Like, she made it clear it wasn't irreconcilable differences. Like, and I was seeing, like, they live in Texas and whatever the laws are. Like, she did that on purpose. Like, she didn't make it vague for a reason. Like, she's like, he cheated.

[B]

Yeah. My dad got divorced in Texas. And I was like, reading up on the divorce. I mean, hot take. There's different divorce laws in different states. But, yes, you have to cite something.

[A]

Right? But it's like, if that's what happened, that's what happened. He made a statement on his Instagram story. Big day for Instagram stories. Also last week, two big weeks for Instagram stories. And he said he wanted to separate at the end of 2025. And it sounds like maybe she didn't or they just tried to work it out. And in that period of like, we're going to break up, he cheated. He stepped out. So he admitted it and he apologized. I'm not, like, defending it, but I'm just saying he came out and admitted it. And just some of the tea since then that days after that, he was spotted making out with this model at the bar, the club in Houston. Like, days, like, I think 48 hours post divorce.

[B]

So this is a case, by the way, where she found out he was cheating, immediately filed before divorce. This isn't like they've been split for months.

[A]

And he's saying towards the end of 2025, they started talking about separating. Okay. It sounds like there'd been trouble. They'd have problems before that, obviously. But I don't know exactly how it went down. It sounded like they decided they were going to break up. And he saw his opportunity, he took it to cheat. And then they were like, we're. Now we're really done. And the girl he made out with has since made a statement. And so she came out, and I loved her statement. She was just like, yeah, we made out. I'm not the one he cheated with. She wanted to make it clear, like, I'm not the one that broke up the marriage. She also was like, y' all are saying I'm trans. Okay, you're weird for that. That's an insult. I thought we were past that in 2026. But I am a biological female. Like, she said a bunch of stuff and just was cool with it and was just like, I think people are like, she's gonna do what she's gonna do. She's not the one to blame.

[B]

Okay, listen, I know that we're gonna. We're talking about the 2016 trend and people, like, missing 2016, but what I do like about these times that we're living in now is the second someone says some shit about you online, you have 19 platforms that you're at your.

[A]

Disable to be like, I mean, yeah, and I still feel like we had all that in 2016. But, like, the old days, like, you couldn't get your statement out, what would you have to do? Go on the news, go contact the newspaper. And then the last thing I do like is Christie posted on Instagram a few days after the divorce announcement, in their house, in their mansion, all dressed up, all dolled up. Caption, same address. So basically, I'm keeping the house.

[B]

Oh, that's funny.

[A]

So she. She's like, I got the house. He has since moved into. It looks like another house. That is not as nice. It doesn't look like it from the kitchen. And then she changed her name on Instagram. It's now back to. It's like, Christy, Sarah. And then she unfollowed him. And I think he was still following her, but she has since unfollowed him. But I just love the like, and I'm keeping the house. And this is just another one of those cases of, like, this couple you thought was perfect and super aspirational. They had the perfect life. And you Just never know. And of course, I'm not saying that couples that appear to be perfect all have this going on behind closed doors, but it's just a reminder, I think, of, like, people who really appear to have the perfect relationship, perfect life, perfect family, sometimes don't. Yeah. Speaking of a couple that did not appear to have the perfect life that everyone saw coming. The divorce that surprised no one.

[B]

Kyle and Amanda from Summer House.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So they released a joint Instagram story yesterday. After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple. We share this with a heavy heart, kind of. I mean, you guys, this is just like, spit out AI generated same divorce announcement.

[A]

If I read after much reflection one more time, like, I, you know, I have such a problem with, like, the canned divorce announcements. And I do understand, I do understand you want to use the right language and you want to PR it up, but Amanda Batula, of all people, should have been like, I'm sure this is no surprise. I'm sure this comes as no surprise that Kyle and I are getting divorced. Wasn't the real divorce announcement his DJ tour poster? I think when he announced his DJ tour, we could have seen this coming. Like, and if you guys aren't familiar, the summer house on Bravo, this is the OG couple pretty much from the show. And they have been rocky for. Since day one. Like, you want to root for him, but it's hard. There's so much toxicity.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, listen, I hate to see anybody's relationship end, maybe, except for this one. I just. I think that everybody deserves better. I think people. I've watched him. I hesitate to use the words, like, verbally abuse somebody. I've watched him yell and scream at her and embarrass her and treat her poorly on national television for a decade, cheat on her, publicly scream in her face, embarrass her, not come home at night. Like, you've just watched this for so many years, and it's like, we all deserve to just feel better. We all deserve to feel respected by our partners. And I don't know, I really have a lot of empathy for what it must be like to be so tied to your partner professionally, financially, publicly. Like, I'm not a Tom Sandoval apologist by any means, but I understand why that relationship was really hard to end with him and Ariana. It's just like, you are the couple of the show. This ends. And, like, now what. What do we do professionally? Like, what do we do in interviews? Are we gonna do the Summerhouse show? Now, like, financially, am I gonna be okay? I understand your whole life is tied up in this person. But, like, he just seemed this. This whole relationship seemed bad all the time, and everybody deserves better than this.

[A]

Yeah, they were poorly matched. I think the general consensus is this couple never should have gotten married just because they had so many problems going into it. And I can understand why. It was so hard to split not only the show, but also Loverboy. His drink. His, like, alcoholic beverage. If you guys aren't familiar, like, she worked on it. She was part of it. You know, they were so tied together. And the overwhelming response to the divorce that I've seen, at least on my side of the Internet, is support for her and feeling like she can finally break free. She has a swimwear line. It does feel like it's the right time. She's young, and they never had kids. And you love to see it. I mean, they struggled with it. You don't love to see that they couldn't conceive again. It's been a struggle. But when a couple is able to separate like this and not have kids in the mix and start the second phase of their life with hopefully better partners and start a family, if that's what they want, of course.

[B]

Yeah, I know. We only see, like, bits and pieces of their relationships. And you and I know more than anybody how much TV stuff can be cut up and put in different places. And it can look like people are having a fight about one thing, and they're really not. Things have escalated, and maybe, you know, maybe they had three fights in a whole summer, and those are the only things that they focus on. I don't know. But this relationship looks so toxic and vile for so many years, and everybody deserves better than this. And even, I mean, I'm assuming they've been split up for quite some time. I mean, the interviews at BravoCon were.

[A]

Pretty hard to watch. They've been living separately for a while.

[B]

And, like, I was really looking at them this morning. Some interviews at Bravo Con, and people were asking her, like, people say that you guys are split now. What do you say? That she was like, I don't know. It's obvious we have problems. We've always had problems. Like, she wasn't even pretending at that point. I think she's just fudgeing done with this.

[A]

But that's why I would have wanted a zestier divorce announcement.

[B]

What did you say? Should come as no surprise to anyone.

[A]

Should come as a surprise, like, please, someone give us a divorce announcement that, like, it should Come as no surprise that's so iconic. I just.

[B]

I can't believe how people time this. And I know that it's, like, probably not on purpose, but, like, Jax and Britney announced their divorce, like, the week before the Valley premiered. Lindsay Hubbard, her pregnancy. She timed that pregnancy so she could be at summer house that summer.

[A]

But I wanted to talk to you about this. So the show is starting back up for season. I don't know, whatever, in, like, February 3rd. And I'm sure there are lots of reasons. I mean, I guess just them in the news with the divorce announcement, but also, there's got to be part of it that's like, they cannot deal with another full season of people watching them and saying they should break up and how terrible of a couple they are. And they haven't said it. Like, I think if I were her, and I'm thinking of this as just a human, not a celebrity. I'm like, I cannot deal with being broken up with this man and hiding it and having all the commentary for however many months of people saying we should break up when we're already broke up. Like, we have to rip the band aid off.

[B]

Yeah. I think they're also gonna go into a huge press cycle to premiere, and.

[A]

They can't just fake it anymore. Ye. I mean, they were faking it at Bravo Con is what it felt like.

[B]

Yeah, but it felt really contentious at Bravo Con. Like, they weren't even attempting to pretend. And I don't blame them. I mean, if. I don't know, I don't. I don't want to be like, he was so terrible. I wasn't in that relationship. But it seems like he wants to run around, be a DJ and drink and stay out all night long. And you're entitled to do that. You just can't have a partner.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, they'll give them a little grace. I mean, they definitely grew up, like, over the years, and it. Every season, it felt a little less toxic. You really just started to see the contempt, specifically her, towards him, and you were just like, she doesn't like him. And for me, I would never be with somebody that gets that drunk and parties at this age. I mean, he runs around. He wants to live his life like a much younger person, and that is not my preference. And it gets old, and that's not who you want to start a family with. So if he wants to party and be a dj, Let him cook. Let Kyle Cook. That's the tour name.

[B]

Let Kyle Cook.

[A]

Let him Cook is the tour name. It's a great name area. The perfect. So good. Did you see the door poster?

[B]

No. Let Kyle cook is funny also.

[A]

Wait, is it Let Kyle.

[B]

No, I like that too.

[A]

Okay, hold on, hold on. No, it is. It's let him cook tour, but with the his cook spelled like his last name with the E. These are so funny. Right? Like, he's doing. He's doing Marquee in March in Vegas. He's doing Orlando, Kansas City. You should meet up on one of these tour dates. See if any align with your tour date.

[B]

I think that this is the case with a lot of these guys on Bravo. They want to Peter Pan through life forever until the end of time. I think he knows he found this. This woman who is so beautiful and kind and smart and cool and everybody loves her. And he's like, I can't. I can't let go of this. Like, he just happened to find somebody unlike Shep or Austin from Southern Charm. Like, but he does seem like somebody that wants to just Peter Pan his way through life. And you can go do that, but you don't get to drag somebody through the fucking mud with you.

[A]

Yeah. And you really have watched her grow and come into her own on the show. And I think that's why people are rooting for her so hard. Like, she really just stopped being Kyle's wife and now she has her swimwear line. And you could tell she just. She was so hesitant to really put herself out there. And she did it. And we saw her swimsuits at South Moon under was like her number one store word that she launched in. So anyway, you know, good. Good for them. And we will be watching this season.

[B]

One more thing I have to tell you. So I saw this. This clip that they like resurfaced this morning of her on Jason Tardick's show. And she's talking about how she did not prior to. It was right after she married Kyle and she. They didn't send a prenup. And she was saying back then, I don't believe in prenups.

[A]

They.

[B]

This is not like, romantic. I don't like this idea that you would break up and then fast forward to now. I saw another more recent interview where she was like, everybody needs a prenup. Get a prenup. I saw that under all. Under every circumstances, get a prenup. Don't let somebody protect yourself, protect your partner.

[A]

That couple. If anyone should have had a prenup. And by the way, prenups, we. We talked about them. Hello, prenup.com, you guys code GG are not romantic, and no one likes the idea that you would break up, but, like, that's. You still need a.

[B]

Like. Yeah, well, I mean, I don't. I don't have health insurance, thinking I'm going to get cancer, but God forbid.

[A]

Totally.

[B]

So anyways. All right, well, good luck to everybody.

[A]

Okay, so not really a divorce, but maybe. Maybe someone divorcing his parents. The Beckham family drama.

[B]

So this has been going on for years. If you guys are just. If you're not involved, obviously. Brooklyn Beckham. Brooklyn Pelt Beckham is the son of Victoria and David Beckham, and he married Nicola Peltz, and she is the daughter of this billionaire. He's a hedge fund guy. He's involved in a bunch of different companies. But there has been a lot of, like, public discourse between this family of, like, what's going on with Brooklyn and Nicola and the parents and Victoria Beckham allegedly not liking Nicola and all these issues back and forth. And you've seen in the news for the last couple years the siblings kind of like. Like going back and forth a little bit.

[A]

Is there just two sons?

[B]

There's three sons and one daughter.

[A]

Oh, there's that many kids. I just don't care about this. I care now, but it's been hard for me to care about this family. And not that I. For no reason. And it's just you can't care about everything. And I've not been in the loop with what's going on. But anyway, they have plenty of other kids.

[B]

You mean, like, if they can lose one.

[A]

No, because, like, all this was going down Instagram and they were promoting cruises show or whatever. Like, they were promoting their other kids, like, stuff. It was like a very funny, like, dichotomy.

[B]

But anyway, okay, so they have. They have four kids. There's three boys. The daughter, I think, is the youngest. Brooklyn is the oldest. Yeah, they are like a European Royal Family 100 soccer star. Obviously, we don't care about that as much in America. I mean, they're. They're friends with, like, the Royal Family. Yeah, they're the most famous people. They're like. They're friends with, like, Elton John and. And, you know, the Royal Family. Yes. So they're so wildly famous. And there's just been so much speculation about the different kids, partners and how they interact with the family. And Brooklyn Beckham has really never said anything publicly definitively that he has a problem with his family. And he broke his silence yesterday in a five Instagram story. Black, black background, white writing. So you know, it's serious. Spilled so much tea. I've never seen anything like it in my.

[A]

Truly in my whole life from a celebrity. Yeah. It's like he's been bubbling over and he's like, I am finally ready to drag my family. And I. I like the comments that are like, this is above my pay grade. Like. Like Blakely Thornton called this white nonsense. You know, like, at the end of the day, this, like, rich, super rich family, the kid is popping off. You know, like, you see both sides of it being, like, ungrateful Nepo baby. And you also see he is allowed to feel like this about these parents, that it's. This is probably not all lies. Certainly, you know, he said a lot of things. Like, like, there was really good kind of deep things that were basically like, you don't earn love in my family unless you, like, promote the family on social media kind of stuff and everything's for show. And then there was these very specific instances which I just couldn't get enough of. Like, what happened at their wedding, him and Nicola's wedding?

[B]

I mean, I think the general response I've seen from most people is like, the world is on fire. We don't have time for y'.

[A]

All.

[B]

Like, we have other stuff. I mean, I'm still entertained by this, and it's entertainment.

[A]

I don't subscribe to that. Yeah.

[B]

I mean, and also, no matter how rich and successful you are. Yes. I know it eliminates a lot of problems in your life day to day that people do not have to deal with if they don't have your level of income. But it does seem like somebody who feels really traumatized by having grown up in this family and what has gone on publicly. And that love is traded in currency with how much you, like, adhere to the family and post on social media and publicly act like you guys are this perfect unit. And I understand him feeling a little traumatized by it and that they're humiliating his wife publicly. I mean, I get it. I get feeling like this.

[A]

Yeah. So let's talk about some specifics. If you guys, like, are. Haven't read it all, but I highly recommend you go find it. I mean, I screenshot them all. They stayed up. He didn't take them down, and they were on Shit you should care about is an Instagram account that has them all, but the wedding stuff was just tea on tea. So he said that his mom, Victoria Beckham, canceled his wife's dress in the 11th hour, forcing her to find a new dress the day before the wedding. They canceled the dress. If that is true, that is, like, monstrous.

[B]

That is diabolical.

[A]

And then the other thing that I think stuck out the most is they. They. They've said they were adamant on him signing away his name, basically. And at the wedding, he said his mom hijacked the first dance, which had been planned weeks in advance. And he said in front of our 500 wedding guests, Mark Anthony called me to the stage, wherein the schedule was planned to be my romantic first dance with my wife. But instead, my mom was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. And I guess then we saw.

[B]

I want to see this video. So I've never wanted a video more in my entire life.

[A]

We need a documentary on this. Someone on Dumas Senn blind. And they were there, and Nicola ran out in tears. But, like, I'm sorry, was Victoria Beckham literally, like, grinding? She was crying on her son. Hijacked Marc Anthony. Is there, like, what's actually happening? Like, again, this is above my pay grade. I do never want to be in those circles with people, like, of that status and wealth. I have no. I have no interest.

[B]

I just. I'm trying to understand, like, what happened here because, like, what do you mean inappropriate? Was your mom, like, grinding on you to a Marc Anthony song? Your bride ran out crying. It's just so insane that somebody would dance with their mom as, like, a first dance. People dance with their dad. Is the dad the first dance, or you dance with your partner for the first dance, the father, daughter dances.

[A]

When you typically go in, you dance with your partner first, and then it's a father, daughter, and a mother son.

[B]

Could you see yourself? If Shashank had wanted to dance with his mom first, would you have run out of your own wedding cry?

[A]

So, yeah, like, no, I would have went up to the dj. Mike, cut the music. This is not happening.

[B]

I'm gonna cut the music on him. And it's not the music. Excuse me, Marc Anthony, could you cut the music?

[A]

Yeah, Michael Leary, Marc Anthony, same thing.

[B]

I've never wanted to see a video more in my whole life. I wanna end it. This is just all these very. I mean, you can see this is so much like celebrities are just like us. The mom and the bride fighting, and they're trying to vie for number one spot in the son's life. And the mom pulls the dress at the last minute, and she's, like, fucking with everybo. Like, the way that my whole family acted during my brother's wedding was so crazy and so, like, it brings out the most psychotic versions of everybody and what they think they. They are owed and what they deserve. And my psychotic stepmom yelling at everybody. I.

[A]

It's just.

[B]

It's so crazy to imagine people of this level of, like, wealth.

[A]

I know British people and British people. Yes. Even Americans that show the girlfriend. If you guys watch that, this is like, if you're in.

[B]

If you.

[A]

If you're looking for more. If you're looking for more content like this, check out the girlfriend.

[B]

I love it show.

[A]

I want to know who paid for the wedding.

[B]

So I know his. Okay, so there was articles back about. I don't know if this is necessarily true, but there was art. She comes from a billionaire.

[A]

So I want to jump in. The Peltz family is richer than the Beckham family significantly. So we're talking richer, multi. Multimillionaire. Hundred millionaire family versus billionaire family. And so there's certainly a narrative that he's like, fudge, my family. He took her name. So they share the same surname. So they're both Peltz Beckham, which I don't have a problem with. I think that's. That's fine. And then you're. The whole family is the same name. Whatever. But I think it's very funny that he's like, fuck my millionaire family. I'm gonna take the name of this billionaire family and be with them. Like, that's like, a funny thing I. I saw.

[B]

I mean, I guess all speculation, but around the time of the wedding that, like, the Beckhams wanted to help pay for stuff. And the. The Paltzes were like, well, we don't need Yalls money.

[A]

We don't need your millionaire dollar money.

[B]

And then maybe, like, Victoria Beckham was like, well, I'll contribute by doing the dress. And then she was like, like, never mind. I don't need to do this. Wait.

[A]

I have died thinking about this. And, like, what? Victoria Beckham went behind their back and booked Mark Anthony. Like, Mark Anthony was, like, hiding in the wings. And they were like, the first dance, Marc Anthony comes out. Like, the Peltzes don't know that he was there. Like, I'm just picturing that type of drama.

[B]

There are a level of, like, fame and power that's, like, inconceivable, but not really in America.

[A]

I really getting off on the Beckham's being like, we want to contribute. And they're like, like, save your money. We don't need your Money.

[B]

They could do $100 million wedding. It would matter to them. Yeah, but you don't really see people be this public. So I'm assuming this will be a developing story and the Beckhams will respond.

[A]

Well, I. Have they. Yet. So I saw an interview with David Beckham, but I don't think it was like. I think.

[B]

I think they ambushed him coming out of something.

[A]

Yeah, there was. I saw an interview with him that about, like, you know, kids are gonna fuck up and post stuff on social media. But I think it was an older interview. I don't think they have responded. Let me just check Victoria Beckham's Instagram story, because I'm just. When she was posting about Cruz, it was prior to the onslaught from Brooklyn, but let me just check it on her. Okay. She has no story posted. I mean, they're. They're really in damage control mode. Obviously, I don't think this does much to their legacy or their fortune. I don't know.

[B]

I think, like, fortune.

[A]

No. Rich, famous people are fucked up, and that's. That's. They always will be. And they're going to have family drama, but you just don't see someone expose their family like this.

[B]

People have been knowing how fucked up they are, by the way. So this isn't like a. Oh, my God. I thought they had a perfect family. This has been years of this.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I wonder if their response is going to be a very, like, British couth. Just like, we're very disappointed in his feelings. And we will deal with this private privately.

[A]

Yeah. And 100%, if anything, it will be. After a lot of reflection, we'll ask.

[B]

Amanda Tulla to write it for them.

[A]

Gotten rid of our son. We have three other kids. They rank their kids.

[B]

Four kids.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. One wants to just go be with the richer family. Just go set him free. Okay. So that was that was that. That's your Instagram story report. That's what it should have been.

[B]

All right, 2026 New Year. Let's start a new business. You know, if there's one thing you've always wanted to build and you've kept putting it off, how different could your year look if you just started right now? So Ashley and I fully run our vibes only business, and our girls gotta merch business through Shopify. We have for many, many years. It is just the backbone of our entire business. And it's what allows us to start, scale, grow, check on how everything's doing. The reporting is incredible. So no matter where we are in the world, we can see every single order that comes in and exactly what is performing well, how much stock we have, everything. Shopify is the best place to start and grow a business just like ours. It's the one commerce platform behind the biggest brands you know and love. And it can help you sell locally or globally. There are so many AI tools built into this. So if you need help building a website, if you need descriptions, if you need instructions, they're going to help you do all of that start to finish. They'll help you make your site look like a million bucks, so you don't need to be perfect. And I think this is what really stops a lot of people from starting a business, is you just don't know how to make it look great and start great. And we couldn't do this without Shopify. And we love how easy it is. It's user friendly, there's tons of tools, we have tons of users using it. So our entire team can log in at different times and really track the business and help grow it with us. So, you guys, this is your year to turn your side hustle into a business.

[A]

Yeah, it's really great. The app is great. I mean, I have been using Shopify, used it for my very first merch business back in 2014. We're about to talk about 2016, but I've just used it for so many years. It just gets better and better with new technology and AI and everything. And it's so wonderful. We don't know any businesses that aren't on Shopify.

[B]

So if you're hungry for the chance to become your own boss, it is time to take your ideas and head on over to Shopify today. Go to shopify.com GGE to get started today. We promise you'll be so happy that you did okay.

[A]

So this 2016 trend swept social media and it was basically just posting like, I mean, I did it. My caption was, did someone say 2016? You know, basically I heard we're running it back to 2016 and you would post a collection of photos. And I think it started technically with like a TikTok filter because there was a vibe about that time just like the way things kind of felt.

[B]

They weren't like blue pretty filter.

[A]

Yeah, well, just like there was like, yeah, kind of an aesthetic. Wasn't like, I mean, this is only 10 years ago. This wasn't like 2006.

[B]

Like, all my photos had that blue pretty filter, don't you think?

[A]

I mean, I just, I had to.

[B]

Really wean myself off of that. People had to have a talk with me about it.

[A]

Yeah, people. Everything kind of had, like, a bluish, hazy hue to it. You know, this was like Snapchat filters, Flower Crown Dog filter days. You know, like, that's when it all kind of started. But I think then, whether you saw that filter or not, people just took it and ran with it. And, like, obviously, 2026 is a dumpster fire, and, like, let's take it back to 2016. And I love doing the trend. And my lead photo was me at a Bernie Sanders rally. I feel like it's one of my biggest flexes. I was a Bernie girl back in 2016. I wish what could have been? And then, obviously, I was a Hillary supporter when she got the nomination. But I think it's, like, an interesting year because it was the year everything changed for the worse. I mean, it really was like. Like, when Donald Trump ran and won the election that year, that was the beginning of all of this. That was the beginning of the dismantling of our democracy and all of the normalizing of all the hate and the violence, and that's when it started. But before that, it was, like, so hopeful, you know? I mean, we're dealing with his shit, and you're starting to realize, like, people you're hanging out with aren't seeing what you're seeing, you know? But it was like, we might have a female president, and. And the vibes were high, and I just think it was, like, such a roller coaster. But it was Beyonce Lemonade, and it was the Chain Smokers, and, I don't know, the music was so good, and it was. I don't know, it was a very. It was a transformational year for me. That's when I left Atlanta after 11 years and decided to move to New York. And I broke up. I got out of this toxic relationship, and, like, that was probably my most transformational year of my life.

[B]

To me, and what I've read so much is that, like, social media was just very different back then. And, I mean, not political at all, but, like, social media is always gonna be performative. It has been since day one. It's always been, look at me, look what I have. Look how great my life is. But it felt less heavily produced 10 years ago. There was less facetune. There was just as many filters, probably. I just. It felt a little more authentic. It felt a little less ramming down your throat. Look where I am. Look what I did. Look what I have. Look at my relationship. It just was a lighter time. It was before TikTok it was before. I mean, I hate to be like, so, like I'm so old now, but like, I feel that a lot of things have been ruined by TikTok. I mean, you can't go anywhere in the West Village any day of the week now in New York City without waiting in line for an hour and 20 minutes to get a bagel or a bubble tea or a sandwich. And it's just like it was better times. I just enjoyed being able to like have access to like travel and enjoy things in like cities that I really liked without waiting in line for four hours to have this like mediocre thing. Cause people had to put it on TikTok. Like it does age me to say these things. I had a different relationship to social media 10 years ago. It just felt a little bit like it hadn't ruined the world yet.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, that's an interesting take, obviously. Cause it's also blown businesses up and you see so much good out of it. But so many things changed. Yeah. Like travel wise, that's interesting. Cause when I started going to the Hamptons in 2017 and 2018, like Montauk was totally different than it would be. And like 20 now, you know, it's like the club, it's like bottle service on the bay, you know, like, it's just things change. Like social media changed a lot of things for the worse in that way too. But yeah, it felt less all about influencers, all about consumerism. Obviously we didn't have AI like we do now. And so it did feel more authentic. And you know what we, what we would feed, post. I mean also United have this platform. And so I was still a quote unquote influencer. But when my, when I did the trend, I was like, everything I posted, like these were feed posts. Like I just fucking sent it. And I think 2016 might have been when the Instagram story started. And it was in that span of.

[B]

Time I was talking about earlier when I said, we'll talk about the 2016 trend earlier. I do think Instagram stories started around 2015.

[A]

Yeah. So it was just like we would just, if we had something to put on Instagram, you to feed, post it.

[B]

And I hate to like lean into this. Like back in the day used to be better because every 10 years everybody's gonna look back and be like, those were better times. I'm sure 2016 had a million dumpster fire moments. I'm sure there was a ton of terrible things going on back then and people were upset. People felt like I see all this stuff online that I can't have, I can't afford, and that feels bad.

[A]

But.

[B]

And I do think, to your point, it's a net positive. It promotes businesses. It helps people grow. It's given all these people careers that would have had to previously do other things. I think all these people are able to print money as influencers. I think that's a good thing. But it just felt like a different time on social media.

[A]

I mean, shit is so bleak right now, you know, like, we still had a democracy then. I mean, you're taking it from, like, a social media angle, I'm taking it from political angle. But I think in general, it was lighter. And yes, a ton of terrible things happen in 2016. Like, they happen every year. I saw this thing piece, think pieces ruin everything. Like, can we just enjoy something for five fucking minutes? But it was just like, the vibes where all this stuff happened. It's like, all that stuff happens every year. Can you just, like, let us live? And then I saw one other thing that was like, Everybody's talking about 2016, but what about some love for 2018? Put respect on 2018's name. I was like, is this rage?

[B]

Did you do that in 2028? I just. I didn' really understand the think pieces about this. I was like, can't we just enjoy that? People are posting these ugly photos of their skinny jeans and their no eyebrows and their bad haircuts.

[A]

I was like, is this rage bait? We'll do 2018 in two years.

[B]

We'll do it soon. 2018 will have its turn.

[A]

Okay. One thing I never did in 2016 that I have really seen is that skinny black choker. I feel like you'd probably did that. Fuck, yeah, I never did it.

[B]

What?

[A]

I don't know what, like, how I miss. Missed that. I said, like, in the south, actually.

[B]

I had, like, eight sizes. I had, like, a whole, like, piece of paper that had, like, every size of, like, thickness. A black velvet choker. Yes.

[A]

Like, I don't know how this passed me by. Like, us. Kristen Cavallari posted it.

[B]

Like, hell, yeah.

[A]

Everyone was in these chokers.

[B]

I think I want to bring chokers back.

[A]

I think I was just in the south, like, we were doing something different.

[B]

I felt, like, so naughty and, like, spicy. I was like, oh, I'm bringing my choker out tonight.

[A]

I was always in a fur vest.

[B]

Was that 2016?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

I fucked with fur.

[A]

I still fuck with the fur vest.

[B]

I still think they're kind of cute, but I Think we always will look back in the past and be like, it was easier at times. I don't know. I'm sure there was terrible things happening then. Also, I don't remember 10 years ago feeling as triggered by people online. Like, today I will actively, like, block. Not block, but I'll actively mute people and follow people that just make me feel a certain way about myself and my life and my body and my relationship status and things like that. And I don't remember feeling as triggered by. By what other people have 10 years ago. Today, it feels like it is an avalanche of, like, buy this thing I have. Here's this link. Do this thing I get to do.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, there's so many different things that felt different back then. I mean, we were different people, too. But the normalizing of, like, the vitriol that people spew on social media has just gotten worse with every year. You know, I'm not saying that didn't exist before Trump, but it just became much more acceptable and the division really became so much more glaring. And just that was the beginning of the end, you know, And I. We talk about this. We don't need to deep dive on this, but it just was like that was the year when everything changed and a lot of people saw the writing on the wall. But I still. We can still look back and celebrate. And I love nostalgia more than anyone. And so I really did.

[B]

You are Vicente.

[A]

I did like the trend, and I liked remembering, like, that's the first time I started caring about politics. Also, I think a lot of people felt that way. Of course I voted. I loved Obama. All that. But caring where you're like, oh, my God, we have to, like, really step up so this terrible thing doesn't happen. And I never went to a political rally before the Bernie rally, and I just really got involved. So there's a ton of things that happened. It was a. I think it was a really transformational year, and I support the trend.

[B]

Yeah, I didn't post anything.

[A]

Maybe I will once episode. Post your chokers. I'll do an Instagram story.

[B]

Yeah, okay. Thank God. I've been foaming at the mouth to talk about this. Tell me Lies. Season three is out. Episode four came out two days ago. I'm having a rollercoaster with this season. I mean, it is one of my favorite shows of all time. I loved the book. I was so excited for this season. It has taken a bit of a turn this season. It is so dark. And the first two seasons, yes, they were heavy. Obviously, Steven Killed somebody. But it felt.

[A]

You always forget that you do.

[B]

You just forget. It felt a little lighter. There was more sex scenes and.

[A]

Oh, right. Yeah.

[B]

I think it has progressively gotten darker. I mean, you have this relationship between Brie and this teacher last season, which, I mean, he really is a predator.

[A]

Yeah. Like, not that he wasn't before. He was grooming her and everything. But now you're like, oh, he's really. This isn't a one off. He's going after freshmen, you know, like Barely Legal.

[B]

His wife, professor sanctions this.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. So they're both really predatory and so that's that. You know, you hate to see it this season.

[B]

I don't know. It's just. I used to really enjoy, like, the. Really the toxicity between Steven and Lucy and, like, who's gonna do what to who next? And it's gotten, like, so sick and dark and there's been a lot of talk. I've seen people being like, well, Lucy's just as bad as him and I don't feel that way at all. I think he seems like a really dangerous individual. She seems like just a really lost kid.

[A]

Yeah, she is. Is making terrible decisions. She can't get out of her own way. But she is not the same. He is like a mentally ill psychopath who will, like, stop at nothing to get revenge on someone much like our president. The same. So if you're watching him, you see the correlation, but I find it, like, hard to watch. And I also don't think he's hot, so that's even harder for me. Like, I think he looks like a penis. I hate his haircut. And you. I can't believe you think he's hot. You guys have to be in these comments. Please, God, let us know. I find him repulsive as a. Because of his character. I really hate. It's not like dragging this actor's looks, but I actually don't find him attractive. And with the character too, I find him really hard to watch on screen. And it would be a little bit more palatable for me if he was hotter.

[B]

To me, I think he is the appropriate level of good looking for the show because I don't think he is an objectively gorgeous. Wrigley is supposed to be, like, this really sexy.

[A]

I mean, Evan. Evan too.

[B]

Evan and Wrigley, both of them are so beautiful, but, like, they've gotten so hot. I think that, like, I really enjoyed the sex scenes with Steven and the push and pull of the toxicity and, you know, I think we can all relate to these really toxic. Not that level. Toxic relationships when we're really young and you make crazy decisions for a guy, that's like so bad for you. And I just, I liked the push and pull, but when. So spoilers ahead.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay, so in the third episode when he films her confessing to faking this rape. It's so sick and dark. The show took a different tone to.

[A]

Me after that scene. That's what I've seen online, is this crossed a line and that's okay. Whatever they want to do. I mean there's always been. There is a theme of rape throughout. There's murder. I mean there are all these dark themes. But that felt so depraved, like they really ramped it up. And episode four, I was like, they're not going to continue down that road. I think they know a lot of people can't stomach that. So I think that was probably the sickest scene we'll see and it'll go from there. And then obviously when he releases the tape at whatever point, like we will see that story arc. But like I was watching it, like I can't take much more of this. Is hard for me to watch, doesn't it? Makes me feel bad.

[B]

Season episode four brought me back. So what I like about this season is that Lucy and Steven are almost like secondary characters. They are the through line and they're like, they're the purpose for a lot of things. But Brie has really pulled ahead as one of the main characters in Pippa. And I'm really enjoying watching Pippa's story. And Diana is. She's my favorite watch of this season and I didn't know they were gonna give her such main character energy. I am. When she opened her book and there was a pregnancy test, I was like, what is this gonna be? I love she's gonna have a kid with Steven. It's so fucking stupid. This girl who's 21 years old is supposed to go to law school and I just, I love her energy about it. She's like, I'm gonna abort this. It's gonna be the best day of my life.

[A]

Yeah, she was loose lipped about it though. She was telling everybody. I mean she talks about it in such a casual way. I was like, once she was telling Molly, I was like, oh no girl. Just in the hall back to everybody, everybody.

[B]

But like, I think having an abortion, everybody digests it differently. I think a 21 year old college student who is pregnant by a sociopath, that's not a child you bring into the World. I like the energy of, like, I'm gonna. You're a terrible person, and I'm gonna enjoy taking care of this.

[A]

But. And of course. And obviously, we support abortion and women's decisions, but, like, why? How are you not doubling up on birth control? Fucking Steven.

[B]

Truly.

[A]

How could you not?

[B]

I'm not.

[A]

I'm just like Diana. Like, I would have been iud, pill, and condom with that man.

[B]

Diaphragm.

[A]

Yes. Like, all the things.

[B]

And I love the storyline of Diana and Pippa. I just, like, I really feel for Pippa. That probably, like, grew up feeling really different and, like, she wasn't like, her peers, and she's this, like, really transformative sexual experience with a woman. Finally. I'm just like, I'm so into it. I'm so into, like, Wrigley being in love with Brie. I just. I love it.

[A]

Bree's haircut was a choice. What are we doing? What is this? Like, mom. No offense to the moms, you guys. Know what I'm saying? It's giving, like, parody mom sketch on SNL haircut. Like, it's giving, like, Karen wig. Can I speak to a manager? I don't understand. It looks like a joke. It looks like a joke. It's growing out in the weirdest way. It is so bad. Like, I can't. The. That choice is so crazy.

[B]

Why did they make her do that? It's like. It's like Miranda on Sex in the City. Why they do that to her and.

[A]

Always had short hair, like. I see what you're saying, but I'm.

[B]

Rewatching Sex in the City right now, so I'm just mad about Miranda right now.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know. I think Miranda could pull it off. She was always going to have a.

[B]

Shortcut, but I go back to first season. It was crazy.

[A]

But Bree's hair is too thick for that cut.

[B]

It does look like a helmet.

[A]

It's. It's giving helmet.

[B]

It's getting.

[A]

She's. It looks like the kind. Like, I don't want to see when you would wake up with a haircut like that. Like, Miranda had fine hair. Like, it laid right. Like, Bri's hair is always looking like she just woke up.

[B]

It's not good.

[A]

It's not good.

[B]

No, I. Listen, I was alive back then, and no one had haircut like that. Okay, so do you have any predictions for the season?

[A]

Obviously, we're gonna see this Brie and Wrigley storyline play out. I am dying to see how they don't work out. Like, I'm dying to see how, like, they clearly have a thing. They're at her wedding and they're gazing at each other across the dance floor. So I'm curious how that happens. And then it goes into Evan. Cause it's. Pippa doesn't even like him anymore, you know, so that she wasn't the one standing in the way. So I'm very curious what happens there. And like, he is gonna release this tape. And they said this one point was it present day. Like whatever Pippa said to Lucy, she said he ruined your life sophomore year or whatever. Like this has been foreshadowing that it's going to be the worst we've seen in terms of whatever Stephen does to Lucy. And when I'm watching this, I just have to tell myself, like, it's okay. We've seen them in 2015. They're at a wedding, they have sex, everything's fine. Oh God. No, I know. But like, everything's. Everyone's alive and well. Yeah. And Lucy, she got through it, you know, but this is. I think it's gonna be so dark. And obviously we can see why she.

[B]

Go back to the earth, Max.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Really. The web of lies is kind of crazy. She's now lied to all these people that she got assaulted. She's lied to Brie about it. So you're thinking like, there's gonna be this crazy watershed moment. Like, how does this happen in like the first season? I think Wrigley and like the first episode of the first season says, I think it's time for me to let go of this crush.

[A]

Yeah. And you think it's about Pitbull.

[B]

I've all. I always thought it was about Brie.

[A]

Oh, you have?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Oh, interesting. I never would for weeks, I thought.

[B]

Not always, not my whole life. But I said weeks ago that I think that it's gonna be about Brie because you would wouldn't say this 10 year crush about somebody that you actually want to appreciate.

[A]

That's true. That's fair.

[B]

So I don't know, we won't. We won't deep dive every single week. We'll probably wait until the finale. But I. I'm back in.

[A]

So there are people that are dating on the show, which we find really fascinating. So Stephen and Lucy, Grace Van Patten and whatever the fuck. Steven's name is Jackson White. Jackson White are the last couple that. Whose name I know are a couple. And Evan and Molly. Real couple. A real couple.

[B]

And Wrigley and Pippa.

[A]

Wrigley and Pippa are a real couple.

[B]

And Oliver and the show's creator.

[A]

Real couple. Yeah. So Megan Oppenheimer, who has adapted the book to tv. Oliver, who the actor is her husband. And, like, I don't think he was supposed to continue. I think that's what they were saying, that he was only supposed to be in one season.

[B]

They announced after season two that he was not coming back.

[A]

Yeah. And so I think she was like, I don't know. I like having my husband around. I like keeping him working. She's like, I'm gonna keep on the payroll.

[B]

This is so interesting. And then we will move on from this. But. So Iris Apatow, who's Judd Apatow's daughter, who plays the student that Oliver's having his new affair with, Obviously her sister is Maude Apatow, who's on Euphoria.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Grace Van Patten's sister is also on Euphoria.

[A]

Oh, that's an interesting connection.

[B]

And that brings us to headlines. So euphoria, season three trailer came out. It broke records with 100 million views in two days. I mean, I think people have just been really edging for this.

[A]

They really want it. Yes.

[B]

So the last season, the season two finale was in 2022.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So people been waiting for this. I am sat for this season. I'm really excited to start it. I truly can't wait. So it premieres April 12th.

[A]

We'll. You've never watched it.

[B]

I never watched it. And I really. We're so far in the future in the show that, like, I don't. I don't really feel the need to go back. I'm just jumping in season three.

[A]

Yeah, you're saying it like you've been watching it.

[B]

Oh, no, no, no, no. You're starting.

[A]

You guys know, I'm literally starting this.

[B]

Show, but I'm starting with season three.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I might go back. I might like season three and be like, I'm curious, but I. I don't know if I need to.

[A]

Yeah, it's not for me. I tried it, and it's just. It's a little too dark.

[B]

Okay. And then just a shout out to my alma mater, Indiana University. They pulled off the most improbable turnaround in college football history to win its first national championship. They are the first team to go 16 and. Oh. In 132 years.

[A]

Only.

[B]

What? Yes, they're the only. They're the second team in college football history. Yale is the only other team that's ever done it. Insane.

[A]

Did you even follow this season at all.

[B]

My dad text me the other day, you gotta watch the IU game. And I was like, why would I do that? So when I went to. I went to Indiana, and we just. We weren't a football school. I mean, IU is a huge basketball school. Like, it is so huge for basketball. Bobby Knight. It's never been a football school in any way. They would give away tickets to the games halfway.

[A]

Totally.

[B]

After the first quarter. You could just go in for free.

[A]

Yeah, there's football schools and there's basketball school. So I just. It's so funny because we were talking about it last night when they won the championship. I'm like, do you think Rain even knows this? My dad told me, but I was like, in her defense, she didn't graduate.

[B]

I did not graduate. So I guess it's not really my alma mater. It's where I hung out for four years, plus the summer, and never graduated. You guys are new here. I'm one class short of graduating.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

But congrats to the Hoosiers and my fellow sort of alumni.

[A]

Okay, so one more headline. Ludacris pulls out of Kid Rock tour after backlash, and he says the booking was a mistake. So there is a little MAGA festival happening. Kid Rocks Rock the country festival is gonna go to eight small towns. Eight lucky small towns around the country.

[B]

Small towns is so embarrassing.

[A]

Okay, well, that's their whole thing, you know, so Kid Rock, obviously. Oh, it's celebrating 250 years of freedom, by the way. So 1776, you know, they're doing their whole thing. Whatever, whatever. Like, we're free. Ha. Okay, so Kid Rock is the headliner at Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll. That was tough to see. Another one that I was upset about Creed because, you know, I'm new in my. I'm in my Creed.

[B]

I don't think I've heard about creed in 20 years. And you bring it up every week now.

[A]

Brooke, is it? Well, I was back on Creed, and now I'm like, oh, no, we're gonna. Whatever.

[B]

Are we decided? I thought Kid Rock is, like, highly aligned with, like. Like, Donald Trump and maga, Right?

[A]

He's the guy. He's the artist.

[B]

He's the guy.

[A]

Yeah. Like, this is a MAGA festival, clearly. You know, like, Brooks and Dunn, Miranda Lambert, all these people. Whatever. And then people really honed in on Ludicrous and Nelly, and I think we all knew Nelly had kind of been involved in. He's done all his country collabs, and I think Politically, no one thought he was progress. I don't know. Nelly was not as surprising, but Ludicrous. People went crazy.

[B]

Where's Nicki Minaj?

[A]

I know where. Nicki Minaj. That's such a good call. She's definitely going to replace Ludicrous. How is Nicki Minaj not on this?

[B]

She can't say it enough how much.

[A]

That is so funny.

[B]

They need.

[A]

She's going to replace Ludacris. So I was really upset when I saw this. I mean, I. Ludacris has been an unproblematic king for decades. Obviously, my connection with Atlanta, like, I've always been such a fan, and he's so generous, and he's comes across really kind, and he's just like about his fans. And so there was tons of backlash and he pulled out and he said it was a mistake that he was booked in the first place. And I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I want to believe that his management was like, you should do this festival. It's going to be huge. You'll get a bunch of money. And he just agreed to it. But you never know. You can't really trust anybody. You shouldn't.

[B]

Isn't he an Atlanta guy?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And did somebody maybe just say, it's a festival in the south, it's going to be small towns in the South? And he was like, I'm the Georgia guy. Guy.

[A]

I hope so. But I think if anyone said, like, hey, it's Kid Rocks, Rock the Country tour. Hello. Obviously, Maga Fest 2026. So I want to believe it was a mistake. I want to believe that they threw his name on there to stir up, and now Nicki Minaj will take that slot. So, anyway, I'm glad he pulled out, but, you know, I just. I just hope so much that it wasn't that he was like, oh, I'm all in on this, and I'm down with this. And then his fans lashed out and he was like, oh, I guess it was a bad move. I just. I want to. I want to think. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm a big fan. I've always been a fan. I just.

[B]

I think people's management should be booking them on stuff.

[A]

Yeah. They're like, it's down the street.

[B]

You just.

[A]

Yeah, you'll go. You'll be fine.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

So anyway, if you guys are going to Maga Fest 2026, we don't want to hear about it.

[B]

You're probably not listening to this.

[A]
