Woo woo.
A
Hannah McDon juicy scoop. Hello and welcome to Juicy Scoop. What a treat this is back from Montauk. Daddy of the century, blue eyed, former model turned comedian, husband of the year, my comedy life partner Chris Frangello. Welcome to the new home studio office. Thank you for coming out.
B
I love it. Thank you so much for having me in this gorgeous. You did it. I mean you finally did it. This is everything you ever wanted. There's gates, there's every. There's lakes, there's gates. It's in some sort of mountain enclave that you wouldn't even know was here. I mean it is.
A
I'm so glad you love.
B
Looks like. You know when they used to film Desperate Housewives on Universal Studios. You feel like you're on that set of like, what was it? Wisteria Lane.
A
It does. That's what I thought when I first came in here. I was like this, is this real? This looks like a utopia. It's been here for you know like 30, 30 plus years. But all the houses are different so it doesn't have like a. What do you call it? Track home feel.
B
Yeah. No, it looks nice.
A
I just, I love it. It's just like every day I wake up and you know, just sometimes regardless when you've been in a place for so long, which I was on my house, in my house for so long. 19 years. And I had lived there.
B
That block your whole life.
A
Next door for 19 years.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, basically.
B
Yeah.
A
When I was growing up with just like a 10 year break in between of like apartments in Brentwood and so yeah, I just. It's great to have like a fresh kind of vibe and different places to go.
B
Do you feel a pressure here because you got to keep up the yard and stuff. Like you can't in. In my world we call it the schlegels because every neighborhood has one. I don't think this neighborhood does. But most neighborhood have a schlegels and you know what I'm talking about. The Christmas lights are up in July.
A
Yes.
B
There's a workout. There's a workout bench on the front lawn. There's. The indoor furniture is outdoor. You know, like it's a couch. What's the difference? Put it out on the front lawn and sit in it. So I don't think you could do that here. But you can.
A
Which is nice because you know, with in LA there was always a risk that you know a house that was nice that you know, an older lady lived.
B
Yeah.
A
Then her degenerate, weird 55 year old son hoarder.
B
Hoarder.
A
Son hoarder lives there. And then you're screwed. Like you're screwed.
B
It's just you can't do anything about it.
A
There's nothing you can do. And so I do like being in a gated community for that reason.
B
Right.
A
But yeah, we might be the schlegel or whatever.
B
Yeah, you, you guys might be the.
A
Schlegels because we are doing. We are doing some yard work in our backyards. But it was like that when we bought it. But so no, there's still some stuff to be done. But this is an area everybody's super nice and chill. It's not what you would think. It's not a snobby anything.
B
You got to be Concerned. This is one of those areas where you got to the amount of Christmas blow ups. You know what I mean? Like, can you even do a blow up on the front lawn here?
A
I would not.
B
You can't do 20. They would frown upon this.
A
This is the kind of place where the company comes and like, we'll do it for you.
B
Yeah, I know, but yeah, okay.
A
So, like, if I really wanted to have like a Christmas party, I thought about it and there's no way I would. Peter's probably not going to allow it. But I do have Drake and Peter, so if I want Christmas decorations, they can get up on the roof and do it.
B
You can't put it. You can't put a blow up Charlie Brown on the front.
A
Never. No blow up Charlie Brown.
B
It's gotta be like white lights.
A
All right, maybe maybe one of like a restoration hardware, like deer that's slightly like not moving, but just like lit up.
B
Right?
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. All right, well, it's. Congratulations.
A
I'm going to invite you right now. I'm sure you're going to have other Halloween plans, but if you don't, this is a fun place for trick or treating.
B
Oh, that would like, where they give.
A
Out like, you know, shots and margaritas and you can actually go and like party while your kid parties. And then you get on a golf cart and you go to another. Yeah, enough with the Brady. I'm just saying I've worked hard. Just whatever.
B
I'm not going to.
A
I'm happy. I'm living a. I'm living the life that someone lives in middle America. Do you ever say, so literally my house?
B
Do you ever say to yourself. Which I do sometimes too, because we're doing okay as well. But do you ever say to yourself, all this from this dumb podcast. You know what I mean? Like, in the end, it's not exact. You know, you're like, oh, really? I mean, congratulations.
A
But I think that's why hundreds and hundreds of people every day start one. And I say go for it too. That's is a certain type of person that excels and it's being consistent. But it's also just a unique talent that you just don't run out of stuff to talk about, you know, And a lot of people just get burnt out.
B
Right.
A
But let's get into someone that is. Kept talking.
B
Can I just say one more thing? And then we'll move on to topics. But thank you for calling me father of the year. I just dropped my daughter off.
A
Yes.
B
And she's at a camp at her school. And it's dress up. I thought today was dress up day. They were supposed to dress up as private investigators. Like because they're looking for clues for something to have a party on Friday. Somebody stole the ice cream and they.
A
Got shows up with Epstein didn't kill himself T shirt.
B
They gotta find, they gotta investigate what you know. Okay.
A
I love it.
B
So I had to dress her up like a private investigator or you know, like whatever. A detective.
A
Okay.
B
So I went to Target yesterday and I bought like a white button up shirt, a black tie, and a black sunglasses. I don't know. Detective. I looked it up and it gave me like men in black look. Right.
A
But it's a five year old detective. Okay, go on.
B
Yeah, but I also put her in shorts because it's hot out. Put her in black wool pants.
A
Yes.
B
So I mean, she kind of looked a little bit like the guy from AC dc Just shorts on a top or like a Mormon missionary.
A
Okay.
B
Anyway, we get there and she's already apprehensive to put it on. She's a little weird about putting on costume. She's like, is everyone gonna be dressed up? I'm like, everyone's dressing up.
A
Okay. I like. I kind of like that. That she's like, enough with this.
B
And so I get there and it's tomorrow and she's the only one dressed like a detective. So she gets out dressed like Angus Young from acdc. I was like, oh, no. But anyway, counselors were so nice that they were like, oh, you the great little detective. And she seemed happy. She had a badge on, going all out.
A
I think that's great.
B
Yeah.
A
Anyway, she does what she's going to wear tomorrow. And I think she's young enough to like not care. But if she was like 12, she'd want to kill you.
B
Oh, she'd want to kill me. Yeah.
A
When I was a little girl at five years old, I was like so desperate to get any attention from my mom, you know, because she was busy with the others. That one day she was like making eggs or something. And I go, oh, we're saving those. I need to bring in those eggshells for an art project. I just made it up.
B
Whoa.
A
So then she was constantly like, okay, I've saved all your eggs. You know, and so then I go to the school and I take. And then I have the eggshells and she's like, I hope you. You know, like she felt good about herself. And I threw the eggs away. Cause I just made up this weird thing. So then later that day something happened where I accidentally threw something else away or something.
B
Yeah.
A
And so my mom goes to school and they're like going through the trash and she's like, why are the cracked eggs here? Like, you said you had an art project. And the teacher was like, what? Like, who is this kid? Then on top of it, my brother had a boa constrictor snake. He had several snakes.
B
That all makes sense.
A
And my mom would say, well, he was a competitive. They were really big into swimming. So my mom would say, if you get under this amount of time in the 400 IM or whatever, you could have a snake. So now he had several snakes and like once a week that he would sell tickets to the kids in the neighborhood to watch. My mom would go buy a little white mouse and we'd watch the thing eat the mouse.
B
Oh my God.
A
And then you just see it in the snake, like its body.
B
Yeah.
A
And so then they're like, oh, who wants to do show and tell? And I'm like, oh, I'll bring my brother with a snake. And so my brother puts this giant snake around a five year old's neck. Everyone's just watching it. Other kids are trying it out. And then this woman was like, that snake could like, yeah. Strangle these.
B
Your brother wasn't like a professional snake wrangler.
A
He's like, he wasn't that guy, what's his name? Bindi's dad?
B
Irwin. Steve Irwin. Yeah. Oh my God, that's amazing.
A
Finally my mom's like, I can't take it. So she like acted like it got escaped. Okay. And she like let it out far into the backyard through the gate of someone, whatever.
B
Right.
A
And like two weeks later, it showed up in the sliding glass door. You know, the old sliding glass came back. The snake knew it's way back.
B
I've never heard that. Your dogs and cats, you hear those stories. Wow.
A
Childhood stories. Okay, listen, Candace Owen.
B
Yes, I know the story well, she.
A
Is being sued by the president of France and his wife. She, we talked about this. She went hardcore, did a whole YouTube series about all the evidence leading to why she believes that the much older wife of the president of France already. It was a crazy story. She was his teacher. Yeah, she was his teacher when they were, when he was 14 and she was 36 or something. She was married with three kids. He went off to high college, came back, and then they fell in love, allegedly before. Nothing happened prior. And so she's like 70 and he's like 48. But according to Candace Owen she believes that he. That she, the wife actually was born male. I have not watched the series. I don't know how she explains how this woman gave birth, the whole thing.
B
Do they have children?
A
But she also in the theory said this woman had children with her first. Yeah, she was probably too old to have children with him when they got. But so it was like. I didn't know it's the whole thing. But what I gathered was that she also. The other explosive stuff is that she was not only born a man, but she is the president's father. What somehow when she was a man.
B
Yeah, allegedly.
A
According to Candice Owens, she somehow, you know, impregnated somebody, gave birth, whatever became a woman, had adopted kids, I don't know. And then got with her biological son who's the president of France.
B
But she's her father. His father.
A
Yes. It's like out of Star Wars.
B
Yeah. This is like, wait, this is the plot of the Empire Strikes Back.
A
Anyway, a lot of people, you know, there's a lot of things on the Internet that will show her walking and it looks like there's something in her pocket.
B
And then of course, the slap in the plane brought a lot of attention to them.
A
Again, a father gets mad at their son. Anyway, they are not having it. And they are, they are suing her, which is a big deal because it's like kind of the first time. Like a. It's not the first time because there was that other content creator that I think Cardi B sued and prevailed because she said, you know, negative things about her that weren't true.
B
People. There's been a few, you know.
A
So can I saw Candace is addressing it. She already has, you know, 1.8 million views talking about what she's going to do. I don't know. I think someone like her, I think she's probably not scared at all until.
B
She just lawyers up and I guess.
A
Fights it up and I guess just fights it. I don't know. But I mean, I would think the fact that they are suing makes me. Because once you're suing, then everything comes out, will come out.
B
Well, that was weird.
A
Now I'm like, yeah, I never believed it to start, but now I really don't believe.
B
What I've heard was there was always seemingly a cover up by the French government because they would ask for, let me, let's see her paperwork, you know, whatever birth certificate that I'm like, no, you don't need to see it. That's what I've heard. You know, I don't know that much about French politics, but I mean, definitely.
A
Just the fact that, you know, she was his teacher and they knew each other and you know, and they've been together for 20 years and you know, he was 24 and she was like 48 when they met is unusual.
B
Yeah.
A
And you know, but then, you know, Frances, they. The age of consent is younger than 18.
B
Yeah.
A
And you know, so I don't know.
B
It is kind of like I would, it would almost be like one of those things. Just ignore it. Like. But they, I guess they've decided to. Because now you're right, it just a lot more attention to their.
A
Okay, but just. Unless it's not true. Like, I know, but if someone tried to say Heather McDonald, which a lot of people do, you know, you look like a man. Why are you tall? You're so ugly. Whatever. If someone tried to say to me that I never gave birth to Brandon and Drake, that I actually was a man and I got these kids like through a sex trafficked ring where I got these two kids, one just looks exactly like me, whatever. And it went on and on and this person was exploding with it and making millions and millions and millions of dollars talking about something that I know is not true. Like, I know I was born a girl. Like, I know it. Then why wouldn't you just go, no, I'm suing you.
B
But it also is now going to bring a lot of attention to an odd relationship just age wise and things like that, which is, I guess, but.
A
I mean an age gap happens a lot with the other way around. And I always think when there is that age gap and you've been together for 10, 20 years, it's like, okay, this isn't a gold digger, you know, situation. It's a father son situation. And they're meant to be together and. And he pissed off his dad. Now. I. I don't know.
B
Yeah, I don't know.
A
Strange.
B
I mean, he was probably trying to talk her down, you know, like, I don't know if we need to do this. Don't get your dick in a knot.
A
You know, I just remember the weirdest thing. You know, Will Forte, Will Forte's on Sn Ali's last man on Earth. Like, he's so funny and clever. So we were at the growling Sunday show together and he just had this like very out of the box comedy going on. So now this is like 1997. And he goes, hey, would you. Calls me up, he's like, would you wear a bikini on stage? And I was like, okay, why, what's the sketch? I was so desperate to be in anything, you know, as many sketches you could be in. And he wrote this sketch where like two boys are like hanging out and I come in and I'm wearing like normal clothes and they're like, the guy's like, who's that? And he goes, that's my dad. But I'm just like a girl. This is like 30 years ago. And then I come out and I'm like in a bikini. And they're like, your dad's hot. And he's like, don't talk about my dad. Like it was the weird. We put this on stage and it was just like. And it wasn't even about. It was like, I was like, what's the joke of this? Do they really think that I'm like a trans. Or was it just his bizarre mind? It's just weird when I think about it.
B
I just thought how weird that is. I was like, Brody Jenner's wedding just to just have.
A
I know, you had to let me talk about it. So Brody Jenner, who is the most gorgeous man on earth and has the most beautiful wife, prettiest dress and they have like a little two year old girl and she's a professional surfer and she like surfs with the baby, like on a surfboard.
B
Oh yeah.
A
It's like crazy. And so there's a People magazine covered it and his mom, Linda Thompson was there and so was Caitlin. And Caitlin wore a white like tea length dress, you know, mid calf sandals and a brown belt. And the picture went, you know, got on people and I didn't even, I forgot. And people are like, you're not supposed to wear white to a wedding unless you're told it's a white and black wedding or wear all white. Everyone's wearing white, which is a rare thing. But sometimes that's happens. But I mean, I just don't think, I just don't think it even occurred to her at all. And why would she know? Because, you know, it's not like she was raised knowing you don't want to up stage the bride.
B
Yeah, right, of course. I mean it looks great on her. You know that we have to say that, right?
A
I always thought it was what was interesting. And you know, I, I'm friendly with Caitlyn and I felt very bad.
B
When's the last time you've seen Caitlyn?
A
I saw Caitlyn a year and a half ago and I haven't talked about this on the main show, but this part Is really sad. So her partner, who was the manager. It was never romantic. Died.
B
I know. Correct.
A
So that was very sad. Very sad.
B
Only 24 years old as well.
A
Just 29. 29. And it was just.
B
Wasn't she on this podcast?
A
She was on the podcast. They belong here.
B
Yeah.
A
At the club. And we. We. We had plans to hang out.
B
Yeah.
A
So I was very, very upset about it. It was just a weird freak accident. She was, you know, on the ATV and went in front of this, you know, I maybe got impatient, tried to go. What I understand. Tried to pass a car.
B
Yeah.
A
And it clipped her bumper. And then she went down a huge light cliff. There was no. So it was very, very, very sad. But what was I. Oh, so that's how that. Yeah, So, I mean. But I'm just saying, like, I don't. I think sometimes that you just don't hear about it. And I think the day arrived. But I always remember, and I asked Caitlyn this, too, or maybe I asked Sophia when they were on the show. Brody Jenner was engaged and I think had a marriage that wasn't legal, but, like, whatever, in Tahiti or something, to another girl named Caitlin.
B
Oh, yeah, I think I remember.
A
And they were together for, like, five years. And then, you know, Caitlyn chose her name. Caitlyn. And I remember, I said, did you ever think about the fact that if Brody married Caitlyn, that there'd be two Caitlyn Jenners?
B
Yeah.
A
And she was like, no. She's like, oh, I never thought of that. So I'm just like. I just don't think she's thinking about. I think she opened her closet that day and was like, oh, it's a hot day. This is a nice dress. I'm comfortable in it. And you're not supposed to wear white to the wedding, but, you know, I had someone wear white to my wedding, and I didn't even notice it until, like, my manager's wife said something the next day.
B
Who was it?
A
Tracy Ross.
B
Oh, really?
A
Tracee Ellis Ross?
B
Yeah.
A
But it was like a blazer. It was like a blouse. It was like a dress with, like, a blazer. And maybe the blazer was white. I don't know. It didn't. It didn't bother me. I think, like, unless you're wearing, like, a wedding dress, I mean, it's a rule.
B
Or is it one of those ones? It's a little loose.
A
A lot of people are like, it's not really a rule, and who cares? I wore red to a wedding, and someone Was writing mean stuff under me saying you're not supposed to wear red to a wedding. Red to a wedding means that you've slept with a groom.
B
What?
A
Yeah.
B
I never heard that. I've heard it just like for picture wise it might throw it off, you know.
A
Red.
B
Yeah.
A
Well, now I'll never wear it again after that. But it was like a. It was a red. It was a black tie wedding in Vegas and I was like this is my best dress. I'm just gonna wear this.
B
But.
A
But yes. So I think, I think unless you're wearing a bridal dress, right? A similar like a long satin white dress that looks like you could be the bride then I think that's an asshole move. But I'm going to forgive her.
B
I'm glad it was a night nice day for them.
A
This Apple, the Apple air. The heir to the Apple money, Eve Jobs.
B
Yeah.
A
God, she's having a big wedding. Is Steve Jobs the one who was married to the McKinsey girl? Who are the three rich people?
B
Okay, there's Bill Gates was married.
A
There's Bill. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. So is Steve Jobs still married to his wife?
B
He's dead. Steve Jobs is dead.
A
Oh, sorry.
B
Yeah, he died a long time ago. Yeah. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back in Disney's Freakier Friday.

B
Oh I know it. It happened on Long Island. My people. These are my people.
A
Why don't you explain the story then?
B
Okay, this man went to an mri, which I guess is one of those things where you go inside and it checks your full scans your body.
A
So it's not a lay down thing.
B
It is. I believe it is.
A
Okay. Because I read this or article, I.
B
Saw pictures of times I don't understand.
A
Okay, so it's a lay down thing.
B
I think it's a lay down thing and your body goes through and it scans it for different ailments or whatever. And this man it was wearing, it said it was a 25 pound necklace and it got stuck in the mechanism of this MRI machine and sucked him in and apparently choked him to death.
A
Okay, this is what I don't understand about the story.
B
He Died.
A
So he went in there because his wife had a knee issue.
B
Yeah.
A
And she was being checked out by the mri.
B
Right.
A
And then he walks in, and then his whole body gets sucked in because of the necklace.
B
I don't understand leaning over the machine or something, looking at it. That's what I gathered. It's hard to. Yeah.
A
And nobody said, like, hey, careful with that.
B
£25.
A
I mean, it's just such a bizarre story.
B
I know. It is a bizarre story.
A
I'm just, like, imagining, like, the way it said, you sucked in. I'm like, what do you. Wait, was he. Because I'm like, first I thought, he's getting the mri. Well, clearly, you take off everything.
B
Right.
A
But no, he was just helping me.
B
Apparently, there was a lock on the necklace, too, I had read, and the lock got stuck in the thing that wheeled you in.
A
So it's like a diamond, gold, like a big, like, wrapper necklace.
B
Right, right. They said it was £25. That's a lot. It's a big necklace.
A
What if that would, like, affect your neck?
B
Well, it is.
A
JLo. What do you think's going on with JLo?
B
Why not just go live your life? She looked great. She was out there talking. Yeah. I read this story. She was, you know, getting very sexual on stage, saying there, she likes it raw.
A
She likes it hard. Likes it raw.
B
Likes it.
A
I still feel she's just been doing. I still feel she's in love with Ben Affleck and is so pissed. And I think she has every right to be pissed. He came after her the second time around. He wooed her, loved her, agreed to the big, fancy wedding. He already knew what he was getting.
B
I'm kind of glad that she, at this point, is like, I'm done. We've done five weddings or four, whatever it is, and I'm done with marriage. I'm done with weddings.
A
How do we know she's done with marriage?
B
I think she. She said it publicly that she's finished with marriage at this point. 55 already has the kids with Marc Anthony doesn't need that anymore.
A
No, she doesn't want any more kids at this point.
B
What am I doing? Just enjoy your life.
A
The body is ridiculous. The body is so good. The abs are so good. So I saw Megyn Kelly ripping on her, and she's like, tina Turner was sexy at her age. And she was. Would wear a dress and show off her legs, but that would be it. And I'm like, you know what, Meghan? I think you're jealous of the Abs. First of all, her best asset is her abs and her ass.
B
Right.
A
And maybe Tina's was her legs. Who cares? Who cares? Like, let her wear what she wants. But the singing that I've seen is a little.
B
What has she ever been like? I honestly. We all know, like, J. Lo had hits.
A
Yeah.
B
But it's certainly nothing that, you know. They're not like classic songs that you'd listen to 30 years later. And. You know what I mean, when they.
A
Come on, I still like them. Nothing to say. Not what you go. That song like, you know, I remember.
B
She had a couple with Jenny from the Block. Jenny from the Block. And. Yeah, she had a couple with, you know, what was the guy who was. Who did the. The rapper guy who. Who did the. The festival where they ripped everyone off and gave him cheese sandwiches.
A
Fire festival.
B
Yeah, the guy who was in charge of that. He had some songs with her. Oh, he was the headliner.
A
Oh, yes.
B
Yeah. It'll come to me. It's right on the.
A
But anyway, anyway, people are highlighting, like, her, you know, doing her best thing. Some of the notes sound.
B
Ja Rule. Thank you. It came to me. I knew it would come to me. Ja Rule.
A
Yeah. Ja Rule is always at, like, a charity event.
B
Yeah, yeah. And he was. He did a couple songs with her. They were good.
A
I mean, you know, who cares?
B
I mean, but, like, the acting at this point, I think is kind of like, she can't be. I don't think she could do, like, legitimate, like, roles anymore. Now she just gotta do romantic comedies from here on out. I don't think anyone's gonna buy her in, like, serious roles.
A
Well, she was in a movie called Shotgun Wedding. And I'm like, shotgun Wedding? I did not see it. So don't get mad at me. But Shotgun Wedding means you had to get married. Cause you were pregnant. And I'm like, just when the movie came out, even if she filmed it.
B
I believe she was 15. That the one kid was supposed to. No, again, here's another name I can't remember. The one who was cannibalizing or at least in text.
A
Oh, yes. He was supposed to be it.
B
He was supposed to be the star.
A
Oh, my God. Armie Hammer.
B
Army Hammer. And then they got talk about, like.
A
Nobody cares about that.
B
I know. He's back to, like.
A
That was another one that just. There were those certain stories that just went crazy for a much longer time because we were in Covid.
B
Yeah. Yeah. That was one of them.
A
And that was one of them also. The whole Tiger King obsession. If that was not. If that did not hit the. The moment it did, would we have really cared that much?
B
No, absolutely not. We were all into that. Yeah. That was a. It's such a weird time looking back.
A
Brought us together.
B
It did. Yeah.
A
I was doing the weird fun with.
B
The Tiger King and I had my.
A
Cat at the time. I said I did like the videos that I wrote. The Bike Crowd and like the Hair. I don't even know where they are.
B
Tiger King's in prison, but they got.
A
Divorced from the throuple. I don't know. This talent agency is alleged to have stolen millions from his clients. This is kind of juicy. This guy, Mark Measures, is the owner and president of KMR Talent Agency.
B
Can I tell you, it's my agency. I was like, yeah, I'm with kmr. I was. They're gone now. They're defunct.
A
No, he said they're not defunct.
B
Well, he's trying to bring it back, but they are. They.
A
Do you remember him?
B
Yes. Biggest scumbag in the world.
A
Wait, so tell me your story.
B
Well, I mean, I never dealt with him. Cause I was at the comedy portion. So I dealt with my agent still to this day, Stu. But yeah, he was stealing money. They're kind of a big Broadway agency. They have a lot of Broadway actors and stuff. So. Yeah. But he was apparently taking money from a lot of people, like millions. And they would call up, like, where's my check?
A
Right.
B
And finally it started to really. I mean, this guy was real. Everything you think about when you think of like Hollywood agent.
A
Yeah.
B
Just a stereotype. He was that guy.
A
This says he has been accused of stealing over 1.8 million from clients and employees in New York. Broadway. Yeah. Between June 21 and March 24, authorities alleged that the funds were taken from a client escrow account and used for personal expenses, operating costs and luxury purchases. Measures was indicated on 40 accounts. And so, you know, prosecutors recommending a four to 12 year prison sentence.
B
Yeah. And. And the agency itself was disbarred, you know, from. From being an agency by whatever. The agency who oversees these things.
A
And so when he goes to prison, you know, and they put like little prison plays together, you know, I hope he gets to cast it.
B
Yeah, yeah. The one thing I remember is I. I think I actually only had to go to the agency like twice. You know, the actual building. And they used to tell you this guy would call you beforehand and tell you not to wear any colognes or perfumes because someone was.
A
I had that too.
B
Yeah. Allergic in the office. Which I always thought was a weird phone call to get.
A
I got that. I remember getting that, too.
B
Yeah.
A
And about like a. Or like a casting director or whatever. And I'm like, all right. I'm just never going to wear, like, any perfume.
B
I know. Yeah. So that was. Anyway, there you.
A
Well, yeah. Cause it's like an escrow. So I always think it's weird when it's like. And they take it for their own luxury, right? Like, oh, okay. Like, you just think your client's gonna get another, like, Broadway hit. And also, like, I always wonder how much money the Broadway people make.
B
Well, that's like. It's a weird thing. Cause they don't make a ton. So he was taking, like, small sums from lots of people. That's what I had readily. And I remember my initial meeting just.
A
When you thought Hollywood was, like, not on its way of dying enough.
B
I remember my initial meeting with this guy was like, after. Like, my career was. Was on a. It was going south in a hurry after Chelsea lately. Nothing was happening. It was bad. So I finally got a call from an agent. I'm like, oh, my God, how'd they find me? And I went in to meet him. It was like, somewhere in North Hollywood, you know, Even the address was, like, not great. And I went up to meet him, and he gave me the whole bullshit that they give you. You know, like, you could be the next. I'm like, oh, cut it out. Like, I've already been through this shit already. Can we not, you know, can we just sign the deal and move on? Like, I don't need all the people I could be. Here's what we're gonna do with you, you know?
A
So I had agent saying, I think you could be the next Ellen DeGeneres.
B
I had a woman tell me one time, I'll show you how long ago this was. She goes, you could be. I don't. You're the next Brian Austin Green. Look at you. You're the next Brian Austin Green. I'm like, what? Of all the people. Brian Austin Green. Can't we aim higher than that?
A
Okay, so somebody said in the. In the comments or whatever was like, this was. Just showed up. And I feel like, you and Chris, this could happen to you. So I said it to you, and it's this YouTube video of how to, like, how to buy, like, a VHS tape on how to properly model. So they wanted you to, like, buy a tape. And it is so ridiculous. The girl, they're like, let's do a modeling face first. A. I. Oh, You.
B
I mean, of course you remember all this stuff, right? Like, these different things.
A
It's just like these people. Like, this is how you look like a natural fitness model. And then it was like, act like you're walking. Like, it was all these tips on, like, how there was something. What was it like? From our era, everybody wanted to be a model.
B
When I was growing up, there was a commercial that would air constantly. Barbizon School of Modeling. And I remember the catch. The line. Their Fray Cat catchphrase used to be, whether you want to be a model or just look like one, that's a good catchphrase on school of modeling. And people. I mean, they must have been. People must have been going, because this commercial aired for years.
A
I will tell you where the Neiman Marcus is right now at the Topanga Mall.
B
Okay.
A
That bottom, like, the bottom part of it was the John Roberts Modeling school that my mom paid for Shannon and I to go to. And, you know, some old lady that is no business, like, trying to do it. So for. They want to, like, get you in the school like a Scientology. So, like, the first one is just like, how to do accessories. You never put gold and silver together, which still sticks in my mind, which you can do today. Whatever. White shoes after. No white shoes after Labor Day.
B
So she told Caitlin, Caitlyn should have went there. Caitlin had no idea. Ah, who knew? I didn't know.
A
Yeah, Caitlin was definitely not going to the modeling class.
B
So.
A
And then it was like, you know, etiquette and, you know, later. But one of the things was getting in and out of a car.
B
Oh, my God.
A
And so if you're in the car, it's like you're supposed to swing your legs around then get up. You're never supposed to do one leg.
B
Yeah.
A
And I always remember when all those girls got caught with their spears, with their crotch, I'm like, well, they didn't go to the genre probably because they were already making money and working with a legit thing. And then, like, this one rich, richer girl, she went the whole way, which includes getting the modeling photos. So then she had like, the black and white photos where then you'd bring them the long strips where you choose. And, you know, and I remember thinking, you're like five, four and kind of fat.
B
Yeah.
A
You're not back then genetically, you have.
B
To be a certain.
A
Wanted a certain type, but she'd like her hair. And I was like. And I was just so jealous. But to do. To do that, it was so expensive that my mom was like, no, we're not doing the headshot thing. And I was like, but how will anybody. Yeah, but on that one day, I did. I did go and did a go see all over la, right? And because my cousin was a legit model and at our family reunion, she goes, just take some regular photos, like go to the one hour photo and then just go on a Monday and go to all these places and just see if someone wants to represent you. And so I went and a lot of them just turned me on the spot. Two said, let's. Okay, let me see you walk. But no, nobody wanted me.
B
You should do it now. I mean, you go through Target and it's just everyone's. The models have like empetigo on their face.
A
I know there was a time when you had to like have bone structure and like have. And look good. And you couldn't go and buy filler to give yourself jaw or cheekbones or teeth or whatever. So it's like that's why Pamela Anderson was so special.
B
Right.
A
Because there was no one else that could even try to look like her, you know? Anyway. Okay, moving on. Okay.
B
By the way, that video you sent me, Denise Richards is in it a lot.
A
Oh, yeah?
B
Yeah. And the funny thing was I remember like in the days of Blockbuster Video, I remember seeing that video in Blockbuster Videos, like Denise Richards had a model or whatever, VHS tape.
A
Yeah. She's the one who's telling about it. And also Tiffany Ambroseason and Mario Lopez, like made a little appearance.
B
They're both in it too, talking about their modeling days.
A
Okay. Now, Chris has been gone a long time because you were in Montauk, Right. And how was it in general?
B
It's fun, you know, I love it out there. I might have aged out a little bit. Just on weekends, like on a Friday and a Saturday, we'd go to like, places and. Wow.
A
Do you feel like the whole influencer world of 20s and early 30s have just made these places? Whether it's Mykonos or Italy or it's.
B
Yes, it's kind of thing. It's.
A
Almost everybody sees it and they also want to be. They just want those photos.
B
I don't see it here so much as I do. Like when I go to a place like the Hamptons or Montauk, where. I'm not kidding, it's almost like a joke. You're driving down the street and there are people everywhere. They're doing like a dance number. They got a camera on the car and the car's going slow and they're like walking back. I mean, it's like everyone's choreographing a scene. My brother, who does nothing about this world, he's like, what the fuck is happening here? I'm like, this is all influencer people doing their videos everywhere. The whole city of Montauk was like, only on like Friday and Saturday, regular days. Wednesday, it's nice, but. But on a Friday or Saturday, it's just crazy. Like with influencers or whatever they considered. I don't know.
A
And are there any straight guys there?
B
Yeah, I mean, as far, I don't know, I'm in bed at 10 o', clock, you know what I mean? So I'm not the best guy to ask, but I have a six year old.
A
I think that I came across across a another video of a bride surprising her groom. Since we're talking about weddings with a dance, a solo dance, and I said it to, like, every single one of my sorority sisters that I'm friends with, because I was like, this is just. Do you imagine if. What if I invited you guys to be bridesmaids? And I was like, and we are also going to do a full routine. We have to meet, you know, practice. Like, I understand it's because. For the views, but like, does anybody want that? Like, who?
B
Absolutely not.
A
I'm already these. You know, this is why. Why millennials don't own homes. I'm sorry, it's like, what are you talking about? You had to go on like four bachelorette parties. You have to rent a whole house in Scottsdale. You have to get all the accessories and the hats and all this. That costs thousands of dollars. Then you've got a hire a choreographer and get together and take dance lessons. And I mean, I'm just like, this is ridiculous. Like, my bachelorette party was. We went to Shannon's house, stayed there for free. Two girls got in a drunken fight, one slut got lost. We all talked about it on the way home.
B
Perfect.
A
And that's the end of it.
B
Yeah, that's it.
A
The whole weekend probably cost $56. Each person went to one dinner and, you know, got in and some drinks were bought for us. That's it. Like, what is happening? This is so stupid. And it's so. And also I'm always thinking, like, why? Why? How awkward for a groom and everybody to have, like, his wife, like, do like a lap dance for him. I know, like, the grandparents are there and she's like, grinding on him. And everyone's like, just when you think it's over, then another song starts and they're like. I'm like, no, thanks. Everyone just wants to have a drink and, like, talk. Like, I hate anything.
B
Are they still doing that? I feel like that's. Is it. Is it going away a little bit, I hope. Because a couple of years ago, you were seeing a ton of them.
A
Yes. Oh, I just saw this other guy walk down the aisle. It was the groom's entrance, and he was like. Like saying a song. This is my name. I'm G to the er Whatever. And it's like he was talking over a song, but he didn't practice, so it wasn't even, like, a good talking. I just. I guess people will just feel like. Like their prom is their Oscar night.
B
This is that big night. Yeah.
A
And then their wedding is, like, even a bigger thing.
B
Right. So I guess they're not famous or anything.
A
So they're like, if we could do a dance routine, you know, to that Chris Brown song. That song. That's the one everybody does. I guess they feel like it'll be worth it. Like, we'll get a million views and we'll make $12 on tick tock. This will all be worth the 12 hours a week that we practice this thing. And. Yeah. Speaking of which, let's talk about. And just like that, because two weeks ago, the writers did the laziest thing. They did an entire karaoke episode. And I've talked about it. I need to know your opinion of the season. Just go off.
B
Okay. Well, I caught up. Thank you. Because we spoke and you said, watch it. So I watched the last three episodes, I believe, and this is gonna sound. Maybe I shouldn't. Here goes.
A
Go. There's no wrong answer here.
B
We're all old. Everybody gets old. Yes, But I don't feel I need to see Evan Handler fucking ever again. Like, I'm done. I'm done. I don't need to see him, and I don't need to see old people having sex anymore. Even John Corbett, who's an attractive like him lying there next to. Next to Sarah Jessica Parker. Like, the whole thing, like, it's just from one old couple to the. And I'm old. We're all old. And God bless all of us who are still out there knocking it around from time to time. But I don't need to watch it.
A
I think that they're okay. So I've talked about that I cracked the code, and I'm almost sad that I cracked the code, because the code is, what are these writers doing? What are they thinking? What's their motivation? Unfortunately, I found the podcast and now I know their motivation and it kind of takes the fun out of the frustration.
B
Can you tell me what it is?
A
Yes. There. There are English teachers that think they're funny, right? That's who. That's the most painful listening to 60 year old English teachers that taught at my all girl high school. And I. And I somehow got caught in the faculty room.
B
Yeah.
A
Where they're kind of hippie Ish.
B
Right.
A
And they're wearing Birkenstocks and they're smoking and they. They think they're hilarious and they're talking about their lives. That's what it is. And it is like they literally talk about. Oh, and then the motivation and then they're. They're always laughing so hard at funny things that aren't funny.
B
Oh my God, the comedy bits are so painful. And I know they used to be comedy elements in the first in.
A
You know, there really wasn't. It was more juicy.
B
Yeah. But now you were never dying laughing Mario Cantone Bakery thing that I'm supposed to laugh at. I guess because they got big dicks or something. I mean, it's painful, but. And the other thing is like, we all know what New York looks like. We all know the way New York works. Like if you've been there on vacation or you live there, whatever. Like, it's not like the whole look. It looks so fake. That bakery looks fake. Their uniforms look fake. Nothing looks authentic. We know that place doesn't exist in real life. It's just all. It's all dumb. That's the only way to, like, I watch it. I'm like, this is so dumb.
A
We missed Shay Diaz so much.
B
Oh, God. Because, yeah, see, we all. We all. We didn't know what we had till it was gone.
A
That was cringy and crazy. But it's funny now I know if you go back, because it was so 20, 21 or 2. Like, it was so. And now that feels like a decade ago. Like, I can't believe we talked like this and did this. And like the podcast was like, hello, and I'm your queer non binary Irish, Mexican, cisgendered.
B
Right.
A
Not polyamorous. And to my left is a boring gender cisgendered Carrie and heterosexual deviant. What's his name? Who is our Asian friend? What's his name? What is his name?
B
Oh, yeah, yeah. Wait, Bobby Lee.
A
Bobby Lee.
B
Okay.
A
And I'm like, oh my God. So now I know these writers and you know, they were just probably like, oh, let's do a podcast. Like Listen. And then. And it's just.
B
Yeah, well, Populi was in it. I was like, totally forgot that. What happened to him?
A
His character. His character. They just. Yeah, none of those. She does not. She obviously doesn't keep in touch with friends.
B
Yeah.
A
So, yeah, he's gone.
B
The other part of it, I think is fun to say is because Samantha did not come back, and she's not coming back. They just introduced these other characters that they're forcing down our throats of whether we like it or not. Doug, you are going to like this Indian woman and this black editor. You're gonna like them. If it kills us, you're gonna like them. And they're doing full plot lines around them, and we just don't care.
A
This is what the podcast is like. And then we see Seema and, I mean, talk about the comedic. This is the way they talk on the podcast. Talk about the comedic timing. I love these two together. Seema, the gardener. They have so many.
B
Oh, this is the podcast of the show. Tells you to watch after the show about it.
A
And they're like, ed. Then we get to this hilarious part that Suzanne and I, one of the other writers, we actually got dinner one night and we looked over and we saw a woman actually putting on her deodorant. And we said, this has got to go in the show. This has got to go in the show. And there's so many things that we. That don't go in the show, but this. We were like, absolutely, absolutely. And so I'm watching it with Drake, and he goes. And then the whole thing is that Seema finds out, so the whole storyline is about deodorant. And Seema finds out that the gardener, who was, like, raised hippie, whose mom changed his last name to Karma, so funny that he doesn't use deodorant. He uses a crystal rock or something. And she's like, well, deodorant is my thing. It's my thing. And he's like, yeah, when I licked your armpit the other night, I tasted like, like, magnesium or something. And. And she's like, I don't know if I could. I don't know if I can date you if you don't wear deodorant. And Drake, my son, goes to. From the woman who smokes, like, four packs of cigarettes a day.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Really, right?
A
Like, we don't even think about stuff like that. Like, you're literally smoking real cigarettes, and you look like you smoke cigarettes. I'm just like, I. I'm like, what? And everyone Hates Aiden. And I. I may. Now, granted, maybe they don't want to reveal too much, but I am hoping now I'm bummed that I listened because I was hoping before I started to listen to their motivation that he was doing a long revenge. If Samantha was there and, and, and Carrie admitted shoulder. He slept with his ex wife. You know, his kid is weird. We have to wait five years. All that stuff. Samantha would be like, oh, honey, he's getting you back for when you fucked big behind his back. This is a 20 year long revenge. Get out. Honey. Like you would. A friend would be like, have you ever thought, like, what is this dude's motivation? Like, why is he fucking around? And now it's like, no, but when you listen to the podcast, like, oh, he's jealous of the professor downstairs with his pipe. Now, now I don't. There's not even enough to hate. It's so boring.
B
It's just. Yeah. Well, the other thing is they have to get. In a lot of the cases, they have to get older actors, you know, who've. And some of them you have not seen before. And there's a reason because they're probably bad actors.
A
Yeah.
B
And just like that weird guy who came into like, I don't know if it was the last episode. He was the boyfriend of Aiden's new ex wife.
A
Right.
B
And for some reason he just came appeared and it was kind of like an odd.
A
I think it's their friends who need their health insurance. That's the writer's friends need their health insurance. And they're like, well, just find you something.
B
Yeah.
A
And as long as you have this many lines in this many days, then you can make your minimum and, you know, get your prostate checked. Like, I just. It's so. Okay, wait, wait, you were just talking about something that. About. Oh, God. Oh. So when we were watching it. Because now I make Drake watch it with me. Okay. Because he comes up with like the funniest thing. But anyway, I said, remember now, Kristin, there's so many health things. Kristin Davis, Charlotte has vertigo.
B
Yeah.
A
And I said, oh, God, she's gonna end up on the bed with the naked girl in the art exhibit. That's the whole point of the Vertigo. And I go, now, Drake, we're gonna go and listen to this podcast and they're gonna say that with their motivation. And it was, wow. That's why they came up with the Vertigo.
B
Yeah.
A
And they said, well, I've had vertigo and our friends have had vertigo, but millennials don't believe that it's real. So we said we have to put Vertigo in it. And then we thought, how delicious that she falls on this, like, naked woman who's doing this art installation. And I was just like, but we're going back to the sex thing. You know, the original showed a lot of sex.
B
Yeah, but it was also 25 years ago.
A
But you're right, it's 25 years ago.
B
Yeah, the.
A
The storylines kind of make sense. People do get sick, you do get worried. You do have things that go wrong with you. It is weird. I mean, I thought the most realistic thing was that Aiden has a fucked up kid. I thought, that is realistic. She doesn't have kids. And she should be like, thank you for saving me. She almost moved those three monsters into her big house. Remember? She wanted a bed for each of them. So he, like, saved her when he's like, yeah, this is why we just need to get this kid off to college or the army or whatever. And then. And then in the last one, he goes, oh, he doesn't want. He now is living with his mom. And she's standing there like, oh, I'm thinking you're not like, oh, the mom that you just fucked last weekend? Like.
B
Like, right.
A
Remember he said he cheated on her? And then he goes, Then she's like. And he goes, I don't know. I don't know. What did I do wrong? And I'm like, okay, from the kid's perspective, you didn't give him his add dhd, Adderall medicine. You made him paint a house that didn't need to be painted.
B
You, you know, play a board game that he didn't want to. And then he broke the windows. I was just like, I'm kind of half watching because I'm like, not into it. So I walk in and out of.
A
The room with the apples to apples. I'm like, yeah, that seed. I'm like, listen, we played with the kids and I. I knew I could tell when one of my kids was getting upset. No one's picking his apples, right? And so you're supposed to close your eyes. And I used to like, look. And then I would pick his.
B
Oh, that was nice.
A
To save us from getting a window cracked in trash. I'm like, why did they do that?
B
Yeah.
A
Anyway, there's nothing more longer.
B
Can it go, like, can it go five more seasons?
A
Like, if you're going to go two more? Because I think it is getting the ratings.
B
I know. I think it is because we're still talking about it. It's a Niche.
A
Like a lot of people. Like Heather.
B
It's like the number one show on hbo on Max, whatever it's called now. Yeah. So it's doing well.
A
Yeah, but there's too many other characters. And when they had all the singing, I'm like, it was such a lazy writing thing. Karaoke singing. I'm like, shut up.

The McDonald's snack wrap is back. You brought it back. Ranch snack wrap, Spicy snack wrap. You broke the Internet for us. A snack snack wrap is back.
A
Okay. What do you think about Stephen Colbert? He got canceled. And what do you think about that?
B
I mean, it depends on which side of the listen.
A
I think it's just, it wasn't, I do think it wasn't making money. I do think, you know, the shows sometimes just cannot. These are very, very, very expensive shows.
B
Right.
A
And if you're getting the views of like, you know, a podcast.
B
Yeah.
A
And you've got 65 people working on it. Loading in a live audience is super expensive.
B
220 people work on the show. You remember at Chelsea, Layla, how many people we had working on the show? We had a ton of people. We had a giant staff.
A
And when you have a live audience, that's a whole nother expense.
B
Yeah.
A
You have to fill it. You have to do the safety. You have to, you know, it's not like, watch what happens where it's a very small audience of like 20 people.
B
Yeah. Politically or whatever you want to consider. Because there's a lot of different reasons why this may have happened. However it was going to happen eventually. The landscape of television is changing rapidly. The fact that these shows are honestly Even still on is remarkable. The only reason they are is probably because he has a longer contract or whatever the case may be. The fact that they're even still an hour is beyond me. I don't know how that's even make him a half hour. And so he's go. And it's gonna be Jimmy Kimmel and Fallon next. Just for the reason that people don't watch TV anymore.
A
Well, it's like having a big celebrity come and look pretty for seven minutes. It's like when we've already seen them on every other podcast.
B
We do 45 minutes.
A
They have their own podcast. We watch them on Instagram. It used to be a big deal to have like, you know, Johnny Carson or Jay Leno have Madonna on. She only does three shows a year, if that.
B
And the other weird thing is there's people don't make movies the way they used to, so they don't have anything to promote. No, Jennifer Aniston is not making three movies a year anymore. So you don't. She's got nothing to talk about. So you're not gonna have Jennifer an do.
A
I am dating the greatest guy. He is a hypnotist. We went to my. We went with my friend Jason Bateman. Oh. I call him jj. He is the best. And yeah, like, who cares?
B
I know. And then like you said you could see them on. On Theo Vaughn or whatever for an hour and a half.
A
Right.
B
Ping pong for seven minutes with Jimmy. You know what I mean? Like, that was all cute 10 years ago. It's just not. We're not. That's. We're not that world anymore.
A
Right. And so when we were watching Hacks this last season, and then she gets her goal of having the late night show and at the end of the season, which that show's coming back, she gives it up because she doesn't want to fire her head writer. Who was the other girl? Hannah and. Or her name's Ava though, in the show. Anyway, she doesn't want to hire her right hand girl. So she's like, forget it, I'm gone. And I hope next season of Hacks they show her going, this just wasn't. This isn't my dream anymore. Like, you know, someone saying, what's your dream like? Well, my dream was I always thought I'd be a mom in a sitcom. I oh. Like, I always thought one day that'll happen. That's what I imagined. That's what I wanted, you know?
B
Right.
A
And now I'm like, sure, if you want to hand it to me, I wouldn't say no, but it's just not like the way. So it'd be interesting to see now that she's 70, her being like, it is too much work. I don't want to do it right. What do I want to do? Like, in the next season of Hacks or whatever. But the thing about a woman doing late night, which I don't know why people haven't talked more about this, it's not because the world hates women. It's not because the world doesn't think women are funny. It's because comedy is subjective. You watch who you're attracted to. I used to stay up late to watch Joan Rivers. Whenever she was there for the week or two doing it, I was like Johnny Carson. I would go to my dad's office, say I had a project, and I just watch. I loved it because I saw someone that I could relate to. However, women go to bed earlier, right. So if you're gonna do it late, and the reason I think Chelsea was successful, it was not your typical late night. It didn't go on. I think the latest it went was 11, sometimes 10:30, depending on when you'd want, you know, But I feel like it was 11, not 11:30. I know, like, on our.
B
We started out 11:30. We moved to 11.
A
We moved to 11. It wasn't that late. It was only a half hour.
B
Right.
A
And. And it was, you know, on a like a more female eccentric channel. So I'm like, yeah, the people staying up late to watch this and not really watch it in real time. Who are they? And so that's why I'm like, that's why I don't think it's a woman.
B
Right. Why are they saying, you know, people.
A
Are always like, there's no people against. No, there's been times when it's like, yeah, there was times when, you know, women were up to replace, you know.
B
Bear or whatever and stuff like that.
A
Jon Stewart, who's the singing English guy that.
B
Oh, John wasn't gay. Cordon. James Cord.
A
James Corden, yeah. So, like, you know, who was going to do that? And it's the same thing. It's just like. And it, you know, and it's. It's hard because. Yeah. Do I think, like, a Nikki Glazer could do something? Sure, sure. But again, if the women are going to watch it, women have kids, women go to bed earlier. We just are not like night owls for the majority of us.
B
They're not doing them anymore. Tv, Network television will be over in five years, it just will. It's just not gonna be. The only thing keeping it around now is sports. And once that goes to Netflix or whoever, it's over.
A
And then sometimes I'm like, just today, when I was doing my makeup, thinking about this topic, I was like, oh, my gosh, you know, this must be hard for all these executives and all these people. And then I'm like, heather, have any of these people thought what you were doing when they weren't hiring you? Did anybody care when they dumped you as an agent? Did anybody wonder, oh, should I give Heather a part so that she could keep her insurance? No. No one gave a fuck about me. That's kinda why the fuck do I feel sorry for these people that have been handed everything, had it super easy. We're fucking lazy. Were dicks decided? Oh, you know, Heather was rude to me. Did I tell the story of why I was, like, blackballed by somebody recently that I found out?
B
I don't know.
A
This is a mother story. I'll tell you this story, just kidding. Because I remembered it, and I don't know if I've told it on the show, and if I did. Sorry, it'll take two minutes. Okay. I had this publicist, and it was right around the Chelsea ending of Chelsea lately, where I was up for, like, talk shows, the talk and whatever, hoping to get new ones. Okay. And I was up for something, and the guy was trying to get it for me, and he goes, do you know so and so some woman's name? And I go, no. And he goes, well, yeah, she's cast a lot of these things and she is not a fan of yours.
B
Yeah.
A
And I go, okay. And he goes, well, it's because what you did at this place. And I go, what are you talking about? So I belonged to the Club Braebar.
B
Which is very close to me. Right by my house. Yeah.
A
And that was like our first country club. And it was. It was like a country club. You don't. You can just sign up and do it. It was very nice. Golf, tennis, whatever, and pool. And so I would go with the kids. They had a diving board and everything. The kids would swim and. But they didn't have, like, pool service where the guy would, like, take your order. You had to go down, or maybe there was construction. I had to go down, order it, come back, and then get the food for the kids. And I was there by myself, and I had the three kids, and I went down and ordered it, and then I went down to get it, and I had left three kids by themselves.
B
Yeah.
A
And one was Brandon. And he was probably at an age where he could kind of swim, but he could also die. Okay. So, like, sure. And I literally have, like, McKenzie in charge. Okay. And like. And so I just was like. So I remember the day. So I go down and I see my food, like, behind the girl in the desk. Cause she's having people come sit in the restaurant. And I'm not supposed to really be down there in bathing suit, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. So I come down, I'm like. And there's some people around and I'm just like, hi. I'm like, sorry, that's my food. Can I just get my food that's right there before my kid drowns? And whatever I did. And maybe I was a little more. Maybe I cut in line. Maybe I. Whatever.
B
Right.
A
That woman knew who I was.
B
Okay?
A
And I had was.
B
She was there, the woman.
A
She was there. And she thought I was a rude bitch. And therefore I was not gonna be on these shows.
B
Yeah.
A
And I'm like, here. I literally was a single mom that day. Just, you know, that's why I'm always like, God, sometimes a little bit of fame doesn't give me the right to ever, like, be nervous or misbehave or not take a photo or what, like. And I'm like. I go, well, I can't replace that day, but at least my kid isn't dead. I don't know what to tell you. Like, I was just like. So I'm like, no. When I see this stuff, I'm like, good. Fuck you. I'm kind of on Cobera. I've never been on Fallon. I've never been on Kimmel. I was pitched for all that shit when I had books and specials come out. And the only ones that I was on was the Jay Leno because he, like, loved our show and would have us come on.
B
Sometimes I don't like, agents and managers and all that stuff that now are kind of going away. And so because of just not the work out there anymore, I'm like, oh, fuck em. They never. I never had anybody who was on my side or anything like that. Everything I got outside of, like, you know, Chelsea Handler, but outside of that, I kind of made my own way, you know.
A
Right. And even that, I reached out to Chelsea and said, I heard you're doing this show. Can I send you some samples? Like, even that was not someone trying to get me the part.
B
Yeah.
A
And when I got my first show, Lyricist Lounge. They wouldn't see me. And then after they were in production, Allison Faust called me and was like, they got rid of the white girl. And I said, well, my friend is funnier than her, so can you come in? And then when I got in, I told my agent, and they're like, oh, yeah, they wouldn't see you. Well, that's great that you got the part. Now I'll take my 20% or whatever.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
So I'm like, yeah. So I still feel bad for people, but I don't. I don't.
B
I remember the first thing I got with Chelsea before. I was working on another show called the Chelsea Handler show. Before Chelsea. And the two people who produced these two guys, I don't know what became of them. For whatever reason, they were not fans of you. Yeah, of me. And they were, like, threatened or something. They were like, I don't think. And I remember her just going, fuck off. He's the guy. That's it. I don't give a fuck if you guys quit tomorrow. And I was like, wow. She was, like, the one person who would, like, respond immediately to, like, texts and stuff.
A
That's how I got the part.
B
Yeah.
A
Because they wanted to give it to. I'm just gonna say they wanted to give it to Sue Murphy.
B
Yeah.
A
And she goes, no, I want Heather. And then when they got another budget or more money or they got rid of some other guy, that was weird. Then the producer at the time said, we're gonna bring on Sue Murphy now. And then Sue Murphy stayed the whole time, which was great. But, like. Yeah, no, I mean, it was great. She didn't pick the typical people. And so whenever people say, there's no women in late, I'm like, she was really the only one that really had a show for many, many years and shared the stage with people. That's the difference, too. The whole format was different.
B
The other thing, that. Not to get into this too deep, but I was writing something recently on my Facebook page for my podcast where I was saying I constantly hear these podcasters and stuff, all talking about how edgy they are.
A
Yeah.
B
And I'm like, I don't know. I feel like we on Chelsea, Laylee, you, me, Chelsea, all of us, we did all of this shit 12 years ago on, like, network television.
A
Totally.
B
Like, stuff that was just shocking, looking back on it. And we all thought it was funny. And people. I think the audience did as well. And now you hear these people like, oh, I can't believe you Said that like, like, and they're high fiving each other because they did a tarantula climb. Like we were doing that shit 12 years. Like before you people did anything, we did everything. I really feel that to be true. Like some of the characters you played, I did it.
A
And you know what? I'm not gonna apologize for it because the truth is. And Sarah Silverman said this and I always, she's like, you know, comedy changes.
B
Yeah, absolutely.
A
So what was funny and acceptable 15 years ago? Maybe not is now, or maybe it will be again in five. It does, it just. It is what it is.
B
Yeah.
A
But it's also because, you know, we weren't. We get a couple tweets, but like the, the way that, you know, we could read all the comments now and everything. And so yeah, when someone says like, you offended me or I was hurt by that, I am always like, oh my gosh, that does bother me.
B
It does bother me too.
A
It does upset. I'm like, I wouldn't mean to hurt someone's feelings or, you know, I don't.
B
Think anybody, like, I don't think any, any of us go into it to try and hurt people's feelings. But sometimes it happens just, you know, as a.
A
Well, I mean, I did an update on Tuesday about the Idaho murderer.
B
Yeah.
A
And in doing it, I mispronounced one of the victim's names.
B
Right.
A
It's Kaylee. And I think I said Callie.
B
Uh huh.
A
And you're right. That sucks. Like, I'm really sorry. Like I was doing 20 topics by myself and I was more about the message that her family said that I thought was amazing. And I miss, you know, and then the other girl, I think I called her Xena instead of Zanna.
B
Right.
A
And in another episode, and then it's Ethan and Maddie. I know I'm right about those. And like, I'm sorry I don't have 55 people working on the Juicy Scoop show. You know, I don't have little cards, I don't have a teleprompter, I don't have a seven minute interview.
B
And you really don't do a ton of editing or anything. That's kind of.
A
I know, I don't. I'm like, apparently it comes this. We're recording this the day before and.
B
It'S like a good thing.
A
But I get it. Like you could tell me and you can be pissed about it and whatever. Jojo Siwa, full, full straight relationship. Went back again, back full boyfriend with.
B
Her and talking about it like, I love Dick and I look wild.
A
Remember, she was like, first of all, gay as fuck.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
Maybe one of my exes. And then. But I think that's great because the whole thing is you're young and you're fluid. And I predicted that this would be the first generation where people might have their first relationship, be same sex before they settle on a more long term relationship where they're like, no, I actually am with the opposite sex.
B
Right.
A
You know, in our day, we went to prom with the gay guy from theater. And we knew it.
B
I didn't. How dare you.
A
We knew it. I knew, you know, whatever. And then later on they came, you know, so everyone had to hide it, like, not be themselves. But now it's like, well, I guess, you know, who cares? Like, but what did you think of her video?
B
Like, oh, Bette Davis eyes.
A
She's got Betty Davis eyes. I want to bony Babonia.
B
Like, why? I mean, she's kind of a kooky.
A
She did pick a song that. Basically the girl that sang that song in just a scratchy of a voice. True.
B
But she was able to kind of.
A
But then how crazy that the same week that her song came out, and just like that, the gardener sang that song to Seema. You've got Bette Davis eye. She had a patch on her eye. I was like, wow, the universe.
B
Is raking it in right now.
A
Yeah. She didn't like it.
B
She didn't like it.
A
Cares. But then she wore like an old Betty Boop. I think she is so cute. Jojo Siwa. I think she just has the cutest fucking little face.
B
Yeah.
A
And I think she's a hard worker and, you know, but now I feel like.
B
Wasn't she on like an English show with Mickey Rourke for a little bit?
A
That was the. That was the big brother. That's where she fell in love with this straight guy.
B
Oh, that. That's how it happened. Yeah.
A
And dumped her girlfriend.
B
Right.
A
And welcome back. I think we're gonna see, like different things like that Christie Brinkley. This popped up. Her book has come out. She has a memoir that came out April 29th.
B
Yeah.
A
And. But this article popped up again and it was when she talked about the time that she found out that her fourth husband.
B
Yeah.
A
Peter Cook, who she has sailor with.
B
Yeah.
A
So she was at the Hamptons. She was giving a speech or something at a high school or something like that. And her son Jack was from her third. So she had. Okay, so she had a first husband. Who?
B
Billy Joel?
A
No, she had a husband before Billy Joel.
B
Oh, really?
A
And I think I want to say the first husband died. Like he was like a, a skiing accident or something. A skiing accident was number three.
B
Oh.
A
Something happened with the first one.
B
Okay.
A
Then she had Billy Joel and she said he was a full blown alcoholic and cheated on her. Imagine that short ugly thing cheating on Christie Brinkley.
B
How dare you? He's Long island royalty. I just watched his documentary on hbo.
A
It's amazing, I'm sure, but like, I just am, like, like. And he was such a raging alcoholic. She said one time, the worst was he ate all. An entire thing of spaghetti, all himself. And then he yelled at his family for eating a spaghetti and threw them out of the Hamptons house. And they're like, you ate it, Billy.
B
And that, that, that, that is not in scenes from an Italian restaurant. You ate all this spaghetti. Yeah.
A
And then remember he had that wife, that cute girl that got all. She, she, she suddenly with like the Meghan Markle of her time. She got to be Kate or something. She got to do all the Today show.
B
Yeah.
A
She knew how to put together Hampton spread. Everyone was inviting her to everything.
B
Katie Lee Joel.
A
She got, she dumped him, moved on. Now he has some other wife.
B
They've been together for a while. They got kids and everything. He's the latest one he has.
A
So then. So, Chris. So Christie Brinkley meets this guy's architect. He's so finally she's got like a cute guy that's like her age.
B
Hampton's royalty. Peter Cook and.
A
Oh, he was Hampton's royalty.
B
Oh, yeah, he was.
A
And so she's like at this high school or doing an award ceremony, and this father taps her on the shoulder and is like, your husband is having sex with my daughter. And she's 18 and I'm a Hamptons cop. And she was like. And it was this girl that they knew that was like his little, like high school, like his little intern for the summer. Yeah, she wanted to be an architect.
B
Wow.
A
I remember that story was just so shocking. And she's like, it's such a cliche that, like your husband cheats with you on you with a younger woman. But to be so young. Yeah, like anything. If you're like a 45 year old dad and you date anything, I think anything younger than 30 is gross. But anything younger than 25 is gross. It's gross.
B
I, I thank my lucky stars. I have no desire for anything like that. Like, I go out like in, in Montauk where I just wasn't stuff, and I see like 18, like 20 year olds. And I'm like, oh, first of all, I feel like they would be mortified by me. Just like they would like everything I like they ever got to the time where we were like. I'd take off my clothes. Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm like, all right, I don't need this type of.
A
Well, I think there's so many women that a guy in his, you know, 45, 50, 60 or whatever could date. That's within a 10 year, 15 year range. That is like so put together and cute and like down to F. Why would. Like, what is the goal? Like the. The latest Lenny, This Lenny, who's 59, he's a plastic surgeon. Married, getting divorced or got divorced from his Real Housewives of Miami wife who she was, you know, gorgeous Lisa. Then he got with this Russian that he brought into the house, okay. And they were on and off, on and off engaged. They broke up. Now he's with a 23 year old.
B
Yeah.
A
And he's 59.
B
Yeah, like Bill Belichick, that one. Like, I don't know. I don't see.
A
Is that just a. I mean, is it just the girl approaches him because she's a gold digger and then that's like his. That's what he feel. I guess the thing is, is they don't. They feel so superior because you are gonna always be smarter. Know everything with a woman who's like 45 and like put together. She's not gonna put up with your bullshit.
B
Yeah, good. That's part of the appeal, I think. Right?
A
It's just like. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, I thought that was so creepy and I can't remember what happened, but I guess because maybe the girl was technically over 18. So I don't think there was like a legal thing. It was just so I remember reading the article and just imagining this intern at their Hampton's house doing, you know, and then like them getting together and it's like it happened like in their house, like in his home office.
B
Yeah, I remember when that went down. That was. That was a big one.
A
The model, Gabrielle Zunga. She announced her retirement from OnlyFans.
B
Oh, no.
A
Because she quietly settled her $50 million lawsuit against Shannon Sharp.
B
Oh, really?
A
Remember that girl?
B
Yeah.
A
Where she said it, said all that? You know, he. He wrote her all those gross things and he's like, I'm gonna choke you tonight. I'm gonna choke you.
B
Audio of it too. Yeah, yeah.
A
So they must have settled for enough that she doesn't have to do only fans anymore.
B
Wow. All right. That's good.
A
This was pretty crazy. This girl, Michelle Sky Hayward, she's a mother and a professional kite surfer and a media influencer. She went to Cape Town, I guess in South Africa and was swimming and filming how fun the water is. And then people were like, you're in sewage.
B
Oh, no. Really?
A
I'm literally gonna throw up thinking about this.
B
How do they know she was in sewage?
A
Because she. They knew where she was and they're like, that's where our sewage is dumped. She wasn't from there. And she's like, oh, this water's very tasty, but I love all these brown bubbles.
B
Oh, God, that's gotta.
A
That's serious.
B
Oh, that's disgusting.
A
Disgusting.
B
Yeah.
A
And I mean, do you imagine just like you do a video and you like take a shower or whatever and you're like, okay, let's see what my comments are. And everyone's like, you were swimming in shit.
B
Yeah. All right.
A
Disgusting.
B
Yeah.
A
This couple got in trouble because they are being accused of doing oral sex on a flight.
B
I saw that from.
A
On a flight from. What was it? JetBlue from New York to Florida.
B
Oh, boy.
A
Regular seats.
B
Oh.
A
And she literally rather swim in.
B
Then get blown on a JetBlue flight to Florida.
A
She literally like, was just like in his crotch.
B
Yeah.
A
And like kids, it's not even that far a flight.
B
You can't. Three hours. You got it.
A
And they did it before they took off. Yeah, they're like on the Runway.
B
On the Runway. Can't keep.
A
And there were other kids and people watching.
B
Yeah. And I'm looking at the pictures of them like the. I don't disguise. Like, it's not like a dick you really need to have. You know what I mean?
A
Oh, God. Losers. Oh, this girl, this 27 year old, dubbed as Australia most sexually active woman.
B
Has ended up going to stop this new thing with everybody having sex with a thousand people.
A
Well, she was doing it. She was sleeping with 583 men in a single day. And she said her body had had enough. And again, she's another beautiful blonde, pretty. And she said. Angie Knight was hospitalized on Wednesday after suffering with excessive bleeding, an alarming symptom of endometriosis and a disease which tissues. And then she said that.
B
But like, I. I think the last time we were on, we were talking about the one girl who did it.
A
Yeah.
B
And you were saying that you don't know if these are real or not because is there actual, like.
A
I think it's real.
B
Sadly, like, is it on OnlyFans where you can actually see any count. Like, there's 372. Here comes 372.
A
I guess so. And they all wear masks.
B
Oh, they do.
A
Guys wear masks. But what's nice is that she's now on the mend.
B
Good.
A
And she's spending time with her fiance.
B
Oh, yeah. Poor bastard.
A
He's an F I. F O worker. I don't know what that means in Australia who was away during the hospital stay. But do you imagine that that's your son?
B
And she can never win an argument in that relationship ever, because he always has that to go back to. You know, no matter what happens, she can argue. And he'd be like, well, you remember when you fucked 2,000 guys? So let's just not.
A
So, yeah, true. Yeah. What are you gonna say? Like, yeah, you know what? Like, yeah, why are you talking to that girl? Talking to her.
B
Why didn't you wash the dishes? Why didn't you just 500 guys instead of 2000?
A
And so she was trying. She said she was only planning on doing 250.
B
Oh, but it'll get away from you. It'll get away from you.
A
553 showed up. So she and I said, you know what? And they say gen zers don't have a work ethic. Look at this girl.
B
I can't sell 200 tickets to the Money Bone in Omaha. This girl's got. This girl sold out the fuzzy. You know, whatever. Stop it, everybody. Enough is enough.
A
But, yeah, I was like, yeah, she didn't want to turn him down. She did overtime. Okay, so you brought some treats for us.
B
Oh, I did. I know.
A
Wrap it up with. Oh, my God. These are old people magazines from.
B
These were sent to me by a fan. They're from 79, most of them some 78. And I actually have an US magazine, too, which is amazing. These are the tops and flops of that year. So, Linda Evans, you know, my favorite.
A
