Are you being serious, Miss Piggy?

[D]

Frank Oz as Miss Piggy was always subtly and nuanced. Dirty, hilarious. Go back and watch an old Muppet show and occasionally watch Miss Piggy tell a joke and then walk off. You're like, that was. That was a punch.

[D]

So she gets some enjoyment.

[E]

It's that time of year again, John, for Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop Holiday Gift Guide. Like, how would you even know about this?

[E]

No.

[D]

Have you get handcuffed?

[E]

Yeah, sure. Been paddled. I love it. I mean, not from your dad.

[E]

[F]

Good stuff on.

[D]

What's the last one?

[E]

A pelvic clock. Exercise device. I have no idea.

[D]

Well, that would be, I would imagine, something that goes.

[F]

Pelvic clock. She needs two hands and a face.

[D]

All right, all right.

[E]

So. So the most expensive thing on the list is a gold and diamond chain bracelet for $39,800.

[D]

That's pretty nice.

[E]

And the cheapest thing, John, is a $12 bottle of OG Hot Girl Chili Oil. Yeah, why don't you kick away that? That could be a stocking.

[D]

The pelvic clock, I'm guessing, is something that you carry that goes off and reminds you to do your Kegels.

[E]

You're guessing that?

[D]

Yeah. You put that in there.

[E]

Does it go inside you?

[A]

Probably.

[D]

And then it goes. And then you gotta squeeze. Oh, no, there it is. Oh, no, it's underneath. That's not a clock at all. They just roll it and do some exercises. Hip exercises. Yeah, but. Yeah, but why do you need to.

[E]

Like.

[D]

That's just an alarm on your phone.

[F]

Timer where it zaps.

[E]

You use your iPhone for that?

[D]

Something's in there.

[F]

Oh.

[D]

And then you tighten up and your pelvis gets tight.

[E]

All right.

[D]

That's pretty good stuff. Yeah. She has candles that are scented like her vagina. The Gwyneth Palace. So that's why I know about Goop, her company.

[E]

Really?

[D]

Yeah.
