Heather McDonald
Podcaster, fashionista.
Chris Frangiola
A lot of people, you know. My wife's cousin, recently we were at Father's Day at my wife's house. My wife's cousin texted her later in the day. She said, does Chris have a stylist? Because he always looks so nice.
Heather McDonald
So, you know, that was your gift. That was your Father's Day gift.
Chris Frangiola
That's all I needed. That's all you needed to see this guy who wrote that. I mean. But anyway, I'll take it, you know.
Heather McDonald
Oh my gosh, Chris. Well, we were.
Chris Frangiola
Can I just tell you a quick story? I didn't realize I was, I was the first guest. Right. Way back in those old days.
Heather McDonald
You were my very first guest.
Chris Frangiola
Yes, yes. And now just an interesting story of being the first guest. You were in a building, like somewhere in like podcast one, Beverly Hills or whatever. Okay. I had just began at the time, dating my wife. Just began kind of. Yeah. And I was walking into your show and I happened to see Netflix. One of the doors had the Netflix logo on it.
Heather McDonald
And I just a little small company at the time.
Chris Frangiola
It was, it was like a little, little closet in the same building you were in. So I texted my wife, said, I think I'm in your building. She said, you are. Anyway, like she said, she think that was creepy.
Heather McDonald
She said, what if that had turned her off?
Chris Frangiola
Well, it didn't. We're still probably doing great anyway. We're still going and, yeah, so I said, well, I'll say h, hi on the way out. And I said, hi on the way out. And now look. Now look. Netflix is Netflix, and you're you.
Heather McDonald
And you got a wife to change your life.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. Thank God.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. We were just saying that you said somebody sent you the 25 year.
Chris Frangiola
No, a bunch of. They sent me a bunch of People magazines. 25 People magazines from 1977. 77 and 78. I was gonna bring them. Cause it's shock. First of all, the ads alone are wild.
Heather McDonald
Okay. The next time you do the show in a couple weeks, I said, you're gonna come to my new house.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
We'll go to a cute lunch after.
Chris Frangiola
Absolutely.
Heather McDonald
Bring that. Cause that would be a really fun, like, summer thing to look at. I, too, have a bunch. I saved some of the magazines, but I was trying to condense from when I did, like, Fashion Police and stuff. In the back of the magazine, I'd save the magazines. And in my movement, I finally was like, I can't keep all of these. But I mean, the amount of times that, like J. Lo and Jennifer Aniston, those people, that was like, you know, 15 years ago. So I can't wait to see. But with People magazine, I remember my. We got a subscription to People magazine. And I just. Every Saturday it would come, and I just loved it. Loved it. And then for one. All of a sudden, my dad's like, I can send that to you when you're in college at sc. So it would come every Saturday. And then my first job out of college, I would take that magazine and, like, read it at the Robinsons May at the horrible mall in North. In North Florida.
Chris Frangiola
It was like a department store.
Heather McDonald
I remember I said, I just wish there was a job that would require me to just read this magazine. You did it. That's all you want. And I did it.
Chris Frangiola
I know.
Heather McDonald
And I.
Chris Frangiola
Isn't that wild? That's what. What did Oprah call that? You.
Heather McDonald
Manifestation. Secreting.
Chris Frangiola
Secreting, yeah.
Heather McDonald
There's a lot of times that I would do that, but I didn't know that that's what it was called. But now I. And I'm like, oh, my God. Listen, we've all Talked about Ozempic, WeGovy GLP1s. And then you're like, I wonder if I can get it. Does my insurance cover it? That is what is so great about ro. Ro's Insurance checker lets you know if you're covered for JLP1s. That's free.

And I said, you know, I used to say I used to love talk radio, even back then. And I used to say, oh, I'd love to have a talk radio show, but I bet there'll be technology where I can do it from my home. By the time I'm an adult, I literally would say that in my head.
Chris Frangiola
Really?
Heather McDonald
And then I'd say, one day I'm gonna write a book, but it'll be like, I'm married and I have, like an office at my house and my child will come interrupt me. And then when I'd write the book on the weekends, like, Brandon would come in, I had like this peach iced tea and he'd come in and he'd, like, drink the iced tea and be like, when we're gonna go in the pool, like in one hour at 4 o' clock on a Saturday. I was like, okay, shut it down. Now we go in the pool. Like so I don't know. Do it. You know, do it. You may not know that you're doing it.
Chris Frangiola
Well, anyway, I wanted to bring the People magazines because I figured we should just do like, a full on juicy scoop from 1977 and just go right through the topic.
Heather McDonald
I'm actually. Because we're talking about this, I'm gonna jump to a crazy thing in today's show.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, okay.
Heather McDonald
That is this 1970s tab commercial popped up. This guy named Greg N. Foster from, I think Instagram or TikTok, and he's like, this is crazy. And it's a commercial from the 1970s for TAB, which was the diet soda before Diet Coke got into, like, Diet Coke.
Chris Frangiola
I remember Tab very well.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. And so it is a commercial with a guy at his office in the 1970s. And it's like, when your man is working, remember, he'd like a figure to come home to. Meaning your figure can stay that fit with Tab. Remember, if you don't look good, he won't want to come home.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. Well, that's every ad in this People magazine I'm talking about. Every ad is like. It's basically like, ladies, you could do it, too. Like, every ad is, these cigarettes are for you. Ladies, forget this car's for you. A lot of cigarette ads, a lot of, like, liquor ads. But everything is, this is for you. Ladies, Enough is enough of the men's cigarettes. This one's for you.
Heather McDonald
That's amazing.
Chris Frangiola
It's a wild.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, we need to dissect that, do a class on it, do our dissertation. I'm so excited.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
But first, let me get. So let's get into some fun other juicy scoop really quickly. They are still deliberating on Karen Reid. We have been casting the movie. We are excited about it. I'm convinced she will not be convicted of anything in the murder world. However, breaking news is saying Karen Reed could be convicted of just drunk driving. As jurors remain deadlocked on that one final charge, I think it's fair to say that that is true. So that would be at least some satisfaction to the people that felt that she misbehaved. But anyway, I don't know if you've.
Chris Frangiola
Discussed this, but if she's completely innocent and she gets out, is she like a Dancing with the Stars person, or is it too grim a crime to put her on Dancing with the Stars? Cause I feel like that would.
Heather McDonald
I'm 100% dancing with the Stars, and I hadn't even thought of that.
Chris Frangiola
Chris.
Heather McDonald
I have been talking to my insiders about, you know, it looks to be that Bravo is letting some franchises maybe not come back, like in New Jersey or taking big breaks. They're doing a new one in Rhode island, which is a really ritzy place. And so there's rumors, I heard that they were thinking about Boston. And if they do Boston, she would be one. She'd have to be one. It could be the Jewel. It doesn't matter.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, it doesn't really.
Heather McDonald
I mean, sometimes they want to. They want to sometimes search for wealthy people. They just want interesting people. They want people that are famous. Rachel Zoe is joining Real Houses of Beverly Hills.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, really?
Heather McDonald
And they say the reason why is because she got divorced from her guy.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And some of her adventures, allegedly are not doing as well. And it's sort of like, let me. You know, this might be good for my business.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
Or maybe it's the paycheck, but. So they want famous people. They want reasons for people to tune in.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
But I definitely think she will have a media career. Of course, there's always a podcast, but I think first it'll be, I mean, traitors. Great on Traitors. Dancing with the Stars. Got a cute figure. Remember that one officer said she had a flat ass? As someone who has a flat ass, I wanna see her in a cute little. I know how to camouflage that ass with a cute little sparkly skirt.
Chris Frangiola
I think she'd be good on Dancing with the Star.
Heather McDonald
I mean, why not?
Chris Frangiola
I mean, why exactly at this point? They're in season, like, 20. They're getting thin on talent pool, you know, so you gotta just take.
Heather McDonald
And I mean, the women and the people that are behind her, they would be tuning in and they would be voting. Yeah, Chris, I had not thought of that. That has got to happen. That's gotta happen.
Chris Frangiola
Next up is attempted murder.
Heather McDonald
Next. No, I mean, I just hope they don't do some weird thing where the thing opens up and it's like, you know, I've been feeling cold and in the air of night, like kind of a weird.
Chris Frangiola
And then her dance partner rises up out of the snow or something. That would be. That's a little grim.
Heather McDonald
They can't do anything like that. They just have to do. They have to. You know what? Oh, this is gonna be the dance. Okay. It's going to start with a setting like a courtroom.
Chris Frangiola
Oh.
Heather McDonald
And then she's sitting there and she's like. And the music starts. And then it's her conservative suit outfit. Rips off through the reveal and then it's like freedom. And then she dances to that.
Chris Frangiola
Okay, I like that. Let's do it.
Heather McDonald
Okay, let's talk about this. So you did not know about this?
Chris Frangiola
I did not.
Heather McDonald
Yesterday.
Chris Frangiola
Oh yeah.
Heather McDonald
Tyler Perry. For the few of you that might be like, remind me who that is. Tyler Perry. Because I was explaining it to Drake. I was like, Tyler Perry is really a genius in how he made his own studio in Atlanta. But from what I recall from his original like interviews with Oprah is, you know, he really is a self made man. He was a writer and he's writing these little plays that were very specific to black audiences that just wanted like light funny comedy with characters that they could relate to. From there is when then he did the character of Mama Madea. Madea. And he would dress as like a kind of like a maybe a mid 60 year old grandma with a bad wig who'd had run ins with the police. And I don't call the popo and all this other stuff. And they were silly and dumb. Wasn't my comedy. But a lot of people loved it. And then he built his own studio in Atlanta where he like owned everything and was making so much money. And I remember talking to Heather Locklear cause she had a role in one of his then, then he got into like more like soap opera kind of drama things.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And. And she was part of one of the, one of those shows. And I'm like, oh, how's that going? And she's like, oh my God. I did not like the way I looked at all. But I didn't realize that they're filming an entire season in like four days. Like that's how he also made the money just real quick. And so anyway, this guy, his name is Derek Dixon, very good looking, he's white, he's got dark hair. Has filed a $260 million sexual assault lawsuit against Tyler Perry. And Tyler's attorneys say these are fabricated claims, harassment will fail. Well, I think it's pretty compelling. Let me tell you the story.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
According to the lawsuit, this guy Derek was a cater waiter at one of his parties on his property.
Chris Frangiola
Okay, sure, sure.
Heather McDonald
And he spotted him and he was like, you know, are you an actor? Well, of course, yeah, I'm an actor. I'm an aspiring model. Whatever. I think I have a part for you. He gives him just a couple little lines here and there and that's when the flirting on the Texas that I'll read start to happen. But then he actually puts him in the show the Oval, which was, like, about the Oval Office. And he had a part in that. He was on, whatever, 65 episodes. So he clearly had, like, a real part through that time of kind of placating these romance gestures that he was doing. There was always the threat, according to the lawsuit, that Tyler would say, I'll kill your character. Like, either play along or your character dies.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And, you know, this is his only acting role is what he's known for. Also in the conversation, in the time that he was doing this, he had come up with a TV show himself, the actor. And Tyler said, I'll buy the pilot. I'll buy your script. I will make the pilot. I will get it sold. Well, of course, that never happened. It was just his way to, like, dangle a carrot and keep him quiet from ever saying that these advances and things happen.
Chris Frangiola
So what are the advances?
Heather McDonald
I thought the advances are a couple physical advances. Besides the text I'm going to read. The advances are. One time they were hanging out at his house. He drank too much. He's, like, sleeping in the guest room. He was sleeping in the guest room. Woke up to Tyler in his bed rubbing his ass or whatever, trying to make a move. And he was able to rebuff him and get him to leave.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Another time he did, like, take him and, like, go to choke him and say, you know, I know you like it rough or something. Again, he was able to, like, say no or whatever. Grab. There was a few moments where he grabbed him and this and that. And also there was a time where he went. The actor went to, you know, do a formal complaint with, like, the production company or whatever about what was going on, and nothing was done about that. They just were like, shut up. It's Tyler Perry.
Chris Frangiola
He wasn't dressed as Madea during any of this because that might be different if she's massaging the guy's ass in Medea. You're like, I don't know. I'll let this happen.
Heather McDonald
So let me read the text.
Chris Frangiola
Okay, go ahead.
Heather McDonald
And these are kind of like, I don't know what order these are, but these were the ones that Hollywood Unlocked posted. So let me just read them. So Tyler says, what's it gonna take to you to have guiltless sex? Have you all found that in therapy? Yes. It's the exact same kind of car. Geometro. Okay. That was like, whatever. They're talking about something else.
Chris Frangiola
Oh.
Heather McDonald
And then the actor says, giving up my religious guilt, becoming a Buddhist. That's so cool. Where you came from. Then Tyler says, unfortunately, Derek, I have friends who are in their 50s and 60s who are still dealing with that. And it's sad. You can have freedom from religious guilt and still believe in Christ. I think this is showing the beginning of the grooming of just kind of mentioning, like, do you know, are you religious? I don't know if this guy is gay, straight, bisexual, or if he just was never interested in Tyler, what the case is. Okay. But he's just. You can tell in the text. I think the actor Derek is just trying to, like, placate.
Chris Frangiola
Right?
Heather McDonald
Yeah. And I've been in those situations where you're just like, oh, crazy. Lol. But for whatever reason, if this guy is your boss, if he holds your entire career and your show that he keeps saying, no, no, I have a meeting with Netflix next week. You're gonna just be like, fine. Okay. Derek says, I can call you later or tomorrow sometime. Then Tyler says, you have already a fresh voice and a take on things. I don't know where this is going, but I laughed the entire time. I could see the world and the characters. Meaning his pilot. My exclusivity ends in 30 days. I want to take Losing it, which is the guy's pilot, out to Amazon or Netflix after that, engage their interest. But I also want to try and get you with the right people to help make these shows work. They are not for my audience, but we need to find a home for this stuff. I don't want to miss out on another Schitt's Creek. You know that Eugene brought that to me, but I didn't get it. Kind of juicy. Yeah, that Schitt's Creek was pitched to Tyler and he turned it down. Okay.
Chris Frangiola
Also, now poor Eugene Levy's gonna have to be brought up in this. You know, they're gonna have to ask him, like, this is true, because he's misspelled losing. And Tyler Perry doesn't strike me as the type of guy who'd misspell losing. I'm just gonna say these are.
Heather McDonald
Well, I mean.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, all right.
Heather McDonald
I think these are. You know what? That's a good defense. These were fabricated. In this day and age, if you can make, you know, Joe Rogan endorse your product on a podcast. A podcast clip. That's clearly not. That's not clearly him. You think it's him? Who knows? Okay. Am. And I just don't know. I just don't believe that someone goes through all this effort to be like, you know how I think I can get money when there wasn't truth to it. When there wasn't evidence, in my opinion. Okay, I'm gonna get here tomorrow. Ammon's getting here tomorrow, so he's got my full attention. Okay. I'll be trapped for the day after that. Okay, then. Then he sends a photo of Tyler. Sends a photo of himself near a jet ski and sends it to him. And the Derek says, nice picture. Yeah, the water does look good. Calm. You can see Derek is never saying anything sexual, right? And then he goes, nice picture. A bunch of question marks. Great, amazing, awesome picture. Like capped letters, like, haha. And then he goes, you don't see the stud in that nice picture. Rude. Now I know my husband has text messages with guys from golf. This is not that.
Chris Frangiola
Right?
Heather McDonald
This is.
Chris Frangiola
You don't see it?
Heather McDonald
I don't know if you have ever sent a photo of you, like, shirtless to a male friend.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And you're like, what, you're not gonna talk about bulging my pants? Yeah. Like, okay, no. All right, then. Then Tyler writes, treat myself right. What are you doing, Derek? Like, writing it all out. And he goes, just talking to my sister. Just, please, just like, yeah, dude, leave me alone. Okay? Like, I roll. He writes, Tyler writes, eye roll. Fine, Good night. I'll go through the 600 people in my phone book and be annoyed that I don't want to talk to any of them. But he wants to talk to you, right? And he goes, trying to get off so I can go to sleep, not talk to you. Go to sleep. And then Tyler says, I understand. And then Derek says, lol. Apparently you're not the only one that's been drinking tonight. And then Tyler goes, I just started. And he goes, ha ha. They didn't like. Just trying to, I think, get off then. But also, he's handpicking things too, for his lawsuit. So let's just see. So then Tyler writes, I would hope that you would let someone hold you and make love to you. You are missing the best years of your life, my friend. Trust me. I hope you get past that block in your mind soon. Do you think he's saying that he should go out and meet a nice girl on Bumble?
Chris Frangiola
Maybe.
Heather McDonald
Don't you say that to your single friends?
Chris Frangiola
Right, right.
Heather McDonald
I don't know.
Chris Frangiola
Get past that block and enjoy sexual.
Heather McDonald
Well, it's not this person, but yes, I want that too. I'm working on it. Therapy is helping. And then he goes. And then the guy Derek says, I know I need to spell the roses more. And then Tyler says, you Are the rose could be seen as, hey, I was just trying to build up my actor's self esteem. Okay. But you are so blocked. And by blocked, I mean your butthole. No, I added that part. But you are so blocked that you refuse to be smelt or opened poppers.
Chris Frangiola
Is that what that is?
Heather McDonald
Yeah. You take a popper and it opens your butthole like a little flower. Yeah, that's. That is sweet. And I'm working on it. Therapy. I'm really scared that I'm going to waste my life worrying. Been there, stopped somewhere in my late 30s to early 40s. That's when I think he started to just be like, I'm getting some d. I know he had a child with somebody. Like some woman.
Chris Frangiola
Tyler perried it.
Heather McDonald
Yes. And was like, I'm a dad. Like, no one knew who the woman was. No one knew where it was a kind of Michael Jackson situation. I don't. He was just like, we're not gonna get married. I mean, it was very clear. He's like, I just want to keep my personal life. I mean, it's no secret.
Chris Frangiola
I've always heard that.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, it's no secret. Guys, it's getting hotter and I know you have the same urge that I do. Like, let's refresh the closet. But let's not waste money on pieces that we only wear for one season. That is why I love Quint. Their clothes are timeless, lightweight and way more elevated than anything else at this price. And it finally really feels like my wardrobe matches my new standards.

Quints.com juicy Listen, we've all talked about Ozempic Wegovy GLP ones. You are maybe curious about it. Maybe your friends are on It. And it's like, wow, you look amazing. How are you doing this?

Chris Frangiola
Am I crazy? I don't think this is that bad. These texts back and forth.
Heather McDonald
Well, it's bad because if this was just your neighbor or whatever. Yeah, you can move. You can be like, don't come on my property. But this is your boss. The only real jobs you've had have come from Tyler Perry in this business. And besides that, he's not some. You know, he's not the guy that got you the modeling gigs wearing the kimonos around his pool.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, he's tired of Bob Welborne is his name.
Heather McDonald
This is Tyler fucking Perry. Best friends with Oprah.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Huge, powerful. If he was like, don't ever call me again, and he's going out for another part. Just like Hugh Hefner knew when his bunny girlfriend was going out for a part and he didn't want her time being spent away from the thing, he'd pick up the call and be like, don't give her the part.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
That is what people don't realize, especially in Hollywood, how when you speak up against somebody, it can keep you from ever doing the job that you love. So you're like, how can I just placate this guy for as long as possible? Okay. Okay, so this is my. This is the last one.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, here it goes. Now it's getting good.
Heather McDonald
He says. Derek goes, how do they make money then? Subscriptions? This could be a podcast conversation.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
He's like, I'm gonna do podcast. Yeah, I'm gonna get the Podcast world. Tyler says they make money from the advertising, lots of money. I do think this could be a podcast conversation. I love how I feel right now, but I don't like being horny. Testosterone. So Tyler says, now he's on testosterone, and he goes, oh, yeah, from the doctor. But it's making you feel better, right? I mean, that is what Derek is saying. Not, hey, let me come over and make you less horny. He's saying, like, oh, I heard a lot of men are taking testosterone for health purposes. Like, he is really trying to. And Tyler says, I feel good, but I don't like being horny. I feel sorry for the first person that flirts with me. And then Derek goes, LOL. Ugh. And there we go. And then 50 Cent did this post of just Katt Williams saying, tyler, that case. Bullshit. Don't worry about that. Worry about this. And it's Katt Williams smiling, because we all know when Katt Williams did that infamous episode of Shay Shay Club Shay Shay, about a year ago. I mean, talk about being a psychic. I mean, everything has come true, everything that he has said.
Chris Frangiola
Did you say something about Tyler Perry on that show?
Heather McDonald
He just talked in general about powerful black men in entertainment and the people that they hit on and that went with it and why they became bigger stars than Cat. And that kat was offered 50k for his virginity of his, you know, butthole, and said no and all this kind of stuff. And I thought it was a little bit like, boohoo. A little. In the beginning, I was like, you're just jealous that other people, like, got the roles. But no, I believe Cat Williams 100%.
Chris Frangiola
Wow. All right. Yeah. That's.
Heather McDonald
What are your thoughts?
Chris Frangiola
Well, my thoughts are. See, I would have to.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
In looking at those texts, it doesn't seem. I need some sort of context. Were these guys actual friends that spoke in real life? So these could. I know. So if they talked all day, that doesn't seem like that bad a conversation to be texting later that day. You know what I mean?
Heather McDonald
I think. Well, I think that's a good.
Chris Frangiola
If they are friends, legitimate friends in life, because I don't think either one of them say anything completely incriminating in those texts.
Heather McDonald
Other like what he's saying, the physical assault stuff that he's saying that I described. It's just his word against Tyler's. So by sharing these other texts, you can see there's a grooming, you can see there's a flirting there. You can see there's something. And you can see that Derek is rebuffing the advances.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
So, I mean, where they come up with 2 and 60 million, I don't know. But obviously they probably went to him and was like, asked for a big amount, maybe not this much for a settlement. And they were like, f off.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
So then, okay, now it's gonna be out. If they would have settled, he would have signed an NDA and we would have never known that this existed. But for whatever reason, Tyler, or maybe because Tyler feels that none of this stuff is true, that he's like, no. And so that's why this is a big lawsuit and we'll see what happens.
Chris Frangiola
I think the takeaway from all this is 50 cents. Gotta be super clean. Right. Cause he just fucks with everybody. And so there must be nothing on him because if there was, they would have found it by now. The way he goes after Diddy and this guy everywhere.
Heather McDonald
I mean, when I hung out with 50 Cent.
Chris Frangiola
Me too.
Heather McDonald
He was super clean.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
I mean, I think all of his crimes were done before he turned nine years old.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. Sat and drank Coca Cola and he never drank.
Heather McDonald
He never smoked.
Chris Frangiola
No.
Heather McDonald
He would sleep on the plane.
Chris Frangiola
Very, like, soft spoken and he.
Heather McDonald
Very respectful.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. He.
Heather McDonald
One of the days we went to Chelsea's house and he got on the floor and played Connect four with the kids. He brought me in his car and just. It was a bulletproof car. And we just listened to his latest song.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
That was it. And yeah. So I think. Yeah, I think there really is nothing. I mean, I really do think you're right. That's a really good point.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. It's good to hear it.
Heather McDonald
But he is a good time to follow, let me tell you.
Chris Frangiola
He is.
Heather McDonald
And now he's getting to other things. He has produced the latest documentary on the murders near your neighborhood. The. What's it called? Gigolo Beach. How do you pronounce it?
Chris Frangiola
Gilco. Oh. Out on Long Island. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Heather McDonald
There's a new doc that is his. That he produced that I guess does interview the suspected serial killer's family.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. The wife and the kids.
Heather McDonald
So I mean, he's getting into different things.
Chris Frangiola
And the daughter of the guy who's. Who's. I think his name's Rex Shoreman or.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, yeah.
Chris Frangiola
The daughter's like. Yeah, it's definitely. It was him in that documentary.
Heather McDonald
Wow. So amazing. Also, this was from the Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. Male entertainer Flash says that he saw Eddie Murphy and Johnny Gill tongue kissing at the. At a Hollywood party. They were going at it swallowing tongues. This is also something that I'd heard a long time ago. I remember someone I know was, like, going out with Johnny Gill and he never, like, made a move. And she was like, telling me, I think he's gay. And I mean, this is just allegedly. And there was always this. Remember when Eddie Murphy just went out to just get a newspaper and wanted to help out that transgender model? Slash.
Chris Frangiola
Hitchhiking.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. Slash. He just saw a woman in distress needing a ride somewhere on Hollywood Boulevard at 4am and he was like, are you lost? Can I give you a ride?
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And, you know, he was just a good Samaritan. And I remember when I was working with the Waynes, you know, they know them from young. And I just said, do you think. Do you think Eddie is gay, or do you think he's just into some freaky shit? And he's like, I just think he's into some freaky shit. Like, I think. Yeah, I think people can be bisexual, whatever, like P. Diddy, but still like women and, like, different kinds of things.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
But, you know, now it's like, now, no, now nobody cares what you are, but if you are. If you're, you know, holding power over other people, then that is 100% wrong.
Chris Frangiola
Right?
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
All right.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. So, okay. P. Diddy. Diddy is not. This is funny. Diddy's trials dismissed juror because they got rid of one. Juror was not starstruck by Diddy. More into Spanish music. I just thought that tmz. I just thought that was the funniest thing. Also, he is not going to testify, which is no shock.
Chris Frangiola
That's always fun when they testify.
Heather McDonald
I always like when they, like, insist on it and then just, like, bury themselves. My sister Shannon, being a criminal defense attorney, I'm like, why is that? That you never really want your client to testify? Because I think if someone's really fighting for their life, I, as a juror would need to see them cry about the fact that they didn't kill their wife or whatever.
Chris Frangiola
Or too many chances to mess up.
Heather McDonald
Right, Right. Then there's too many things.
Chris Frangiola
Cross examination.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. Where then that can really screw you. So it is better to not even give them that moment to contemplate. Yeah. This has been popping. This popped up. I wasn't even gonna, like, bring it up to you, but then when I opened my phone before you came, Daily Mail had picked it up, and the old voicemail of Alec Baldwin to his oldest daughter, Ireland, while he was going through a very tumultuous divorce with the mom, Kim Bassinger, Kim Basinger has emerged. And I guess it's because she snubbed him on Father's Day Ireland.
Chris Frangiola
This, that initial Father's Day, just this past.
Heather McDonald
Oh, again, I guess people noted. I don't know if she wrote something mean or just didn't acknowledge it.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
I want to say we took a really cute photo on Father's Day.
Chris Frangiola
You did.
Heather McDonald
And Peter took it and sent it to his group check text with his mom. And it was. Brandon was still in Oregon, but Drake and McKinsey were there. And then I got it from the group text and I was going to post it, but Drake's eyes were shut. I know we took like 10.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
And I asked Peter, can you send me one without Drake's eyes shut? And he didn't. And so I was waiting for the TMZ article to write about me. Like, what's up with Heather? Why didn't she acknowledge how wonderful.
Chris Frangiola
You didn't call Peter a little pig, did you?
Heather McDonald
No.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. Cause that's what he says in this. Right? That's what's the worst.
Heather McDonald
So I listened to the whole audio message again.
Chris Frangiola
So did I. Just like a couple days ago.
Heather McDonald
It is absolutely horrific.
Chris Frangiola
I know. Like even before you get the little pig, it's pretty bad.
Heather McDonald
He is so threatening. And I can see why Kim gave it to her attorney, used it.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
I can't imagine if this is who I was trying to co parent with. And I have a little, little 11 year old daughter who he. Or 12. Cause he goes, you know, you're 12 or 11 or whatever. He doesn't even know what age she is. And he's like, it was a lot of effort for me to make this call. And then the little girl has a phone and I guess she just didn't answer it. Maybe she was in the bathroom, maybe she forgot to turn it on. But you know, he had to leave his party or whatever to walk outside to call her. And he was annoyed that he had to do that because that was probably the court ordered time to call her. So he's berating her about, I'm done, like you've screwed me up. He's talking to her like a business partner that just took $10 million from him. And he's like, I'm gonna fucking bury you. And she's his daughter. And he's like, and when I see you get ready, get ready for a tongue lashing like you've never heard. I mean, first of all, most kids in my day or me love their dad. But scared. Like you just are a little scared of your dad. You know, your parents are going through a horrible divorce and then you get that voice. I was impressed that when they did the roast of him, that Ireland was there and made fun of it. And when all this stuff happened with Hilaria, she defended Hilaria. Maybe everything is fine with them. She just forgot to post or posting is a pain in the ass. People don't realize you gotta find the photo, you gotta write a long thing. Maybe she just texted him.
Chris Frangiola
You know how long it took me to find a photo of my father? He's taking like six photos in his entire life. I couldn't find. I know you know, some of them, his face is right in the camera. So it took me like two days to find a one that's halfway decent.
Heather McDonald
I always think Kim, I always think Kris Jenner, I know, has someone's entire job to collect the photos and get the thing ready to go for each grandchild, friend and whatever. And it's ready to go and they post it and it's, you know, 14 photos of North's birthday throughout the years and. But like for an average person and even when you're in this business and expected to do it, it's a fucking task.
Chris Frangiola
Hashtags, it's like, well, it's like you say, I think in your act, a person my dad's age, they just didn't take pictures of themselves.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, yeah.
Chris Frangiola
You know what I mean? There wasn't Instagram, there wasn't selfies. So the guy's got like nine pictures of himself, one of them, two of them in the background of some wedding. And then he wasn't posing for pictures. He doesn't have a headshot.
Heather McDonald
And it's like, I'm doing it for my audience to know, oh, Heather's a good daughter. About her dead dad. So, no, I didn't even do it about my dad. I've recently photo did a picture of my parents on their anniversary because I was going through stuff and I KNEW it was June 4th and I happened to find a photo of them and I'm like, oh, this is a sign. And they look cute. And my mom kind of, you know, I look like my mom.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
But I also think, like, you know, people at home, they don't care that much about what people's parents look like unless they're really invested in your life. So I'm like, I don't think my dad is now a pissed off butterfly who's gonna come to me and be like, where was my Instagram post?
Chris Frangiola
A little gray haired butterfly goes flapping.
Heather McDonald
Dad, I'm sorry. I went to Pilates instead of posting about you on Father's Day.
Chris Frangiola
I went years ago. I used to work in a restaurant and I had to go to a funeral of one of the bus boys that died. He was an older guy and we called him Tortuga because he was very slow. Turtle and Spanish. Anyway, I went to his funeral and. And it was a closed casket, and up in the front was the casket, and on top of the casket was a photograph. And it was just like a really bad driver's license picture, his driver's license photo that they had blown up and put in a frame and put on top of his cask. And I was like, oh, I think they could have gotten a better picture of him. And then I said something to, like, his. Not his wife, but like his brothers. I mean, he goes, well, that's the only picture we have. That's it.
Heather McDonald
He don't.
Chris Frangiola
He didn't take a. He never took another picture.
Heather McDonald
He wasn't. Back in those days. He wasn't Be like, join me for a day in the life of being a busboy at 65.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, yeah. He took. He took his driver's photo and that was.
Heather McDonald
Say, hi, Chris. He's doing his side work. Roll those napkins, baby.
Chris Frangiola
So anyway, Tortuga had one picture and it was on his casket and that was it. Oh, yeah.
Heather McDonald
Rest in peace. He sounds like a great man.
Chris Frangiola
He was a nice guy. He was a nice guy.
Heather McDonald
But, yeah, truly. So, you know, this isn't a. This is just to remind people that he was a. He was in a fucking weird place. But it doesn't mean that grown men can't change and that they, you know, can't be a better father the next time around.
Chris Frangiola
Well, let's hope.
Heather McDonald
Let's hope that he and Ireland are not having.
Chris Frangiola
I don't know if you follow Eladia on Instagram, but she's going real heavy. She's doing a lot of comedy now on her Instagram, and it's painful. It is pain. First of all, I didn't realize how, like, kiddie high the voice was.
Heather McDonald
Yes, it is.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, it's very.
Heather McDonald
It's very high like this. Yeah, it's like, oh, okay, Alec, I know nobody wants to hear from you. They only want to hear from me.
Chris Frangiola
And when I'm talking, you're not talking. When I'm talking, you're not talking.
Heather McDonald
Yes, that's right. And everyone wants to know, oh, my Gosh. What? Yeah, it's like that.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. So it's a lot of that.
Heather McDonald
A little Spanish. A little bit. Even when she's not doing Spanish, it's very high.
Chris Frangiola
And so what you'll do now is. I guess they decided to lean into all the hate, you know, so she'll take hateful things that people wrote about her and she'll make. She'll make fun of them or make light of them. You know, people go, somebody wrote, why don't you go out and touch grass? She goes, okay, I will. And she runs outside and touches grass. Also, comedy's not for everybody.
Heather McDonald
Also, I know we all have haters, but, like, you're not that special.
Chris Frangiola
I know, I know.
Heather McDonald
Like, people are like, do you know what I've been through? It's like, yes, I do, because I've been there. But also, like, we all have. Like, if you have. Literally, if you have, like, 2,000 followers, you've had mean things be written about you, and it does suck, and it is hard, and you shouldn't let it get to you because you're not special. That's what I learned in my old age.
Chris Frangiola
I literally. I'm. Now. I don't. I'm not wearing them currently, but I have Invisalign. I've been doing it for the last 11 weeks. Invisalign. I'm getting better. Volunteers are getting real good.
Heather McDonald
You're not. So you're not doing the top?
Chris Frangiola
No, both.
Heather McDonald
But let me see. Smile.
Chris Frangiola
No, I don't want to because they're not done yet.
Heather McDonald
I can tell a difference.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, I'm telling. It's changing my whole face.
Heather McDonald
No, I know. Anyway, Drake does it.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, yeah, I love it, but you.
Heather McDonald
Gotta keep it up.
Chris Frangiola
No, I'm doing it.
Heather McDonald
No, but I'm saying some people's teeth are movable, and some people, once they're straight, they're straight forever. But I would suggest anybody that does that to just pop them in. Like, maybe even when you're happy with the result, maybe pop in the last one, like, once a week.
Chris Frangiola
No, they tell you you gotta wear a retainer afterwards. Anyway, the reason I did it is because one of the comments under one of these YouTubes for juicy scoop was, who's her snaggletooth friend? Talking about me? And I hardly have. They were, like, just very little. But anyway, sent me right to the Invisalign, which I'm happy. So whoever wrote that, you son of a bitch.
Heather McDonald
See what you get. I've had people call me, like, you know, bucktooth And I do. I have an overbite. But the only way to fix that is if I was to go and get, like, a neck brace. And I'm not going to do that.
Chris Frangiola
No.
Heather McDonald
So I don't care. I'm sorry.
Chris Frangiola
You're doing fine.
Heather McDonald
I am not looking to have a perfect look, so whatever.
Chris Frangiola
You made it this far.
Heather McDonald
I know. So I want to talk about this. This cat won the big golf thing.
Chris Frangiola
U.S. open.
Heather McDonald
Yes.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And it was an exciting thing. Cause it was. I mean, the putt was, like. Went like this. Like, it was crazy. And he was at the bottom. He was doing horrible. And then there was, like, a weather break. And then he came back and, like, won. But so it was the first time he won it. So right when it happened, I heard from my friend Mary Payne, who has a podcast, Pink Shade, and she's like, I'm watching this, and I think that he hates his wife. She's like, it just. He thanked his kids and he thanked, you know, and he kissed his, you know, caddy and this and that. He didn't kiss the wife. And the wife has. They have two little girls, okay. And, like, little. Like, one in, like, three. And so then sure enough, she goes. Sure enough. Like, she goes, oh, my God, Google it right now. People are already talking about it. So I looked into it. This guy did a little story on it. The shot clock, or Justin Morello Marrelli, I guess, did it. And his daughter was sick, and in the middle of the, like, five in the morning of the last day of the Open, he had to go to CVS to get some medicine. So people are like, no wonder he's pissed at his wife. I mean, who makes your husband do that when he's got the biggest day of his life? And I was like, well, there's two little kids and you don't have help. Maybe it was like, babe, just. I'm up anyway, stressed about the thing. I'll go to cbs and, like, you stay home with the kids. But what do you think of that? Like, let's say it was your biggest day. Let's say you're taping your special, your daughter's sick, and, you know, everybody's different. Like, you know, when we do shows together, you're never looking at notes. No, you're like. And you'd always do great. And other people are like, I need my quiet time alone. Like, everyone has their own, like, weird thing, right? But what do you think of this whole situation? Do you think. I mean, he did not thank the wife.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, so where does him and wife.
Heather McDonald
I think it was together. But it just was weird that he wasn't, like, hugging, kissing her. He was like, the best thing about today is that I have my two daughters here. Like, he literally never mentioned her. And do you think he was pissed about having to go to cbs?
Chris Frangiola
I mean. No, I. You know, sometimes you gotta do. Especially as a dad, you gotta do some rough shit.
Heather McDonald
No.
Chris Frangiola
Regardless of what you have going on that day, it's like, sorry, you gotta do it. I mean, I'm not happy about half the things I gotta do, but you gotta do it. My whole life is just, you know, as my mother would say, running from pillar to post. Running from pillar to post.
Heather McDonald
What does that even mean, a pillar?
Chris Frangiola
I don't know. My mother used to say it all the time. We're running from pillar to post. So I. Now it's. Now I say it all the time. So. Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Why don't you say it? I know I've said this on the show. Don't get your tit in a ringer.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. Yeah. Which means angry. Yeah.
Heather McDonald
No. Is that what that means? I don't even know if it means angry.
Chris Frangiola
I thought it meant a ring, but.
Heather McDonald
I remember, I finally go, what does that mean? And then my mom's like. Because there used to be a way to wash clothes.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, yeah.
Heather McDonald
And if you're washing it, you're. Your nip might get caught in the little spiels. And now you're caught. How are you gonna get your tit out?
Chris Frangiola
Also, you used to say, in this guy's defense, you used to say, never be too effusive of your significant other when you win. Because, you know, Sandra Bullock, it was way too much. Remember when she won the Oscar for. And it was the tattooed guy at.
Heather McDonald
The time, Mechanic Jesse James.
Chris Frangiola
Jesse James. And she was the greatest person. And then anytime they get a little too much.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
It's like, oh, it's just trouble on the horizon.
Heather McDonald
Yes.
Chris Frangiola
So maybe it's just. Yeah. She's my wife now.
Heather McDonald
Now. Ever since Snoop Dogg, I noticed a lot of people just go, I want to thank myself. Like, I did it.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Nobody helped me. You're like, all right, that's fine. But I love it. I think it's kind of funny. Okay, so there you go with that. This popped up on my Instagram, and I thought it was so funny. And it was just 911 TV news suggested for you. So, you know, the phone knows who you are, and it's 911 Nashville. We're casting and looking for females to play Cougar types 35 to 55 years of age who can react and engage in a party atmosphere. These scenes shoot June 11th. I missed the shoot date but I just thought that was so funny that like my phone knew that I was a cougar, knew that I watched 911 and knew that I might be desperate.
Chris Frangiola
Get on TV, get some extra work in the background of a. Wow, that's pretty good. I wonder what the scene is that they need cougar types. That seems pretty specific to the party.
Heather McDonald
Well, I watched a lot of 911s.
Chris Frangiola
At least the scripted shows on Fox like Rob Lowe.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, it was one of those that we like hate watch too which we'll get into in just like that. But my kids and I used to like love it cause it was just so crazy. Like the stories cause about LA cops and firefighters. But then they went to like Texas and Nashville and stuff like that. Anyway, 911 it's a fun show. Okay. You may have a great skincare routine.

Meghan Markle reveals whether her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast will return for season two. So I'm like, wait, you're not. First of all, I can't believe you already did a season. You already did a season.
Chris Frangiola
It was like seven episodes or something, right?
Heather McDonald
So I look it up. During the chat, Megan confirmed her podcast, which premiered April 8. It just premiered two months ago.
Chris Frangiola
She might not.
Heather McDonald
It's currently on pause because she says she's just so.
Chris Frangiola
And this is the second podcast. There was another one.
Heather McDonald
This is the second podcast. This one is just about talking to, you know, the Spanx, which I predicted. I go, right when I heard this, I go, oh, we gotta hear from that girl who created Spanx again. Yeah, literally heard her story a million times.
Chris Frangiola
Is she the one that's in the clip? All the viral clips about that podcast with the two of them? Is that the girl?
Heather McDonald
Yeah, that girl is the one.
Chris Frangiola
Makeup.
Heather McDonald
She runs A makeup that made it the makeup. And she's like, yes, yeah. Yes, I am. How are you?
Chris Frangiola
Let me ask you, how are you?
Heather McDonald
How are you?
Chris Frangiola
That's so nice to have.
Heather McDonald
And then whenever she. Whatever that podcast is, she'll put out like 20 clips from it. I'm like, do you want anyone to watch the full hour? Like, I didn't.
Chris Frangiola
I just watched the clip.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. And there's been other people that she's just like, yes. And I mean, listen, she doesn't feature, you know, so she's. Yeah, she's very happy and she's very rich. And so this was a different interview that she did.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
And she just, like, I just. I'm so working on my brand and I want to just make jam. I want to see what jam can do. I want to. I don't know that this is coming back. And I'm like, you interviewed six people, right? You had a huge production team. All you had to do was just say, how'd you start this business? And sit back for 50 minutes.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
You didn't have, like, go like. Like, it's pretty easy interview. You didn't have to, like, study their.
Chris Frangiola
Life or watch sitting here reading Tyler Perry's sexual text.
Heather McDonald
Like, I did the research for Juicy.
Chris Frangiola
We're working hard over here.
Heather McDonald
And I was like, this isn't a hard job. Anyway, I don't know how much the podcast company paid her, but, like, who is going to be the next supper sucker a year from now to be like, okay, now you're going to talk about mommy stuff. Like, on your stupid podcast, she is doing season two of Netflix, her cooking thing, which a lot of people watch because it was one of those, I can't turn away. And I don't think it was an expensive shoot. Unlike a 911 where you have to create like an earthquake in LA. Like, this is. Just go to this house that we rented down the street from you and make some honey and take some pretzel balls that you got from Trader Joe's and put it in a cellophane thing with a der lap wrap or whatever. So. Yeah. So anyway, I just thought that was so funny as, you know, people that have done this job for so long, it's like it's just going on pause. I just. I don't know. I know people want more. I know they can't get enough. No.
Chris Frangiola
Every podcast I see her. All she talks about is how she's so busy.
Heather McDonald
She's so busy, you know, with drop off. I have two kids in Two different schools.
Chris Frangiola
Yes.
Heather McDonald
So I get up at 6:30 and by the time I drop off one and then. Yeah, yeah, drop off's hard. Yeah. I get home and it's 9:30 and then I have meetings for the Jam and for the TV show. And that is why I had to put the podcast on hold. Yeah. Because it wasn't doing well. Or Lemonada had a deal where they're like, we don't have to renew you for the second one. And no one listened or cared. So we're gonna keep our $5 million to give to somebody else for six episodes. I don't know. Who's left?
Chris Frangiola
No, no one's left.
Heather McDonald
Julia Roberts. Okay.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, soon enough.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, yeah. They're according to this acquire.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, Katy Perry. You know, Katy Perry must be thinking, how did it all. Where did it all go wrong? Everyone loved Katy.
Heather McDonald
I'll tell you where it went wrong.
Chris Frangiola
Everybody. I mean, wasn't she always kind of like, didn't people kind of like her?
Heather McDonald
Yes.
Chris Frangiola
Well, what was it? Was it the space flight?
Heather McDonald
There were so many things. One, when she was a judge on American Idol, she was weird.
Chris Frangiola
She was always trying to be too funny.
Heather McDonald
She was either mean to the girls that were good and pretty or a little predatory to the young guys to be funny.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
So there was that. That turned people off. Then there was. She went, found a house, the real estate stuff. Yeah, Nuns.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
And somehow got in there and would not get her jaws off of that house and was able to attain it.
Chris Frangiola
So, like, kick the nuns out.
Heather McDonald
Yes. The nuns fought to keep it. They owned it outright somehow. I don't know. They were elderly nuns. And somehow she got a predatory realtor or someone to get in there who went all the way to court. Like, at a certain point you're Katy Perry to just get another house. Like, really, like you have money, you're married to Orlando Bloom or whatever. I don't know if they're married, but they have a child together. And she wouldn't stop. And at one point, the nun stood in court and said, you'll pay for that. And she died. The nun died, Dropped dead in court, trying to keep the house for the other old nuns. And the old, old nuns are not taken care of by the Catholic Church, by priests, which I did not know until, like, I was like, 25. They are their own corporation, so they have this property that they get through donations, and that is where they have to live. They don't have all these other things that, like a normal old person might have or someone who's a priest.
Chris Frangiola
So did Katy Perry move into that home?
Heather McDonald
I don't know if she moved in, but she got it. Then she found a house in Santa Barbara.
Chris Frangiola
Like a Vietnam vet or something.
Heather McDonald
He was a vet. He's rich. He's a Real Housewives of Dallas. Father in law.
Chris Frangiola
Okay?
Heather McDonald
And again, he was six. Some realtor came and he signed something three days later. He was like, wait, what? No, I don't want to sell my house. And they're like, too bad. Too bad. And they fought and they fought and fought. Now, in any real estate deal, I know there is a waiting period. There's, you know, you at least even an all cash deal. You have like 15 days to pull out. So I'm like, how did this happen? She got it. Booted him out elderly and booted out of the house. Now there, according to this, is a new law called the Perry Law, based on Katy Perry. According to this. Now I say according to this because in this day and age, there is fake news. So I don't know. Or maybe they're trying to get this bill passed where if a real estate deal goes on with someone over 75, they have a longer period of time to retract it.
Chris Frangiola
Really?
Heather McDonald
Yes.
Chris Frangiola
So that's where.
Heather McDonald
So that there isn't any kind of elder abuse taking place.
Chris Frangiola
So people were. They had a bad taste in their mouth from those. Those things. And then.
Heather McDonald
Then the astron.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Where we. You know, a lot of people think they never went, but it is weird that everybody else was, like, looking out and she was just, like, doing selfies and promoting her thing. And then the concert looked lame. She. There were all those videos of people.
Chris Frangiola
In the end, that nun won. You know, she might have died, but she was like. And I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you the worst choreographer in the world, and then you're gonna see what happens to you.
Heather McDonald
Glory be to God.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Oh, isn't it funny? Little Katy Perry, right?
Chris Frangiola
Look at you now.
Heather McDonald
Maybe I shouldn't have kissed a girl. Maybe you should have just lived with girls and not kissed them like me.
Chris Frangiola
Anyway, speaking of nuns.
Heather McDonald
Yes.
Chris Frangiola
Rosie o' Donnell, A nun.
Heather McDonald
Wait, we're going to get into that one more thing. But according to this. Okay, TMZ exclusive, Orlando Bloom is going solo to the Bezos Sanchez wedding without Katie. So they think all this shit is now affected their marriage.
Chris Frangiola
But isn't she the one who's friends with the Bezos?
Heather McDonald
How could this story be true? She was just there for the Bachelorette.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, she was at the bachelorette party.
Heather McDonald
While Kim was going through the trial for the Paris robbers. And then they, like, did a.
Chris Frangiola
Yes, yes, yes.
Heather McDonald
I don't know. Okay, now, honey. And just like that, please.
Chris Frangiola
I'm all caught up. I've seen them all.
Heather McDonald
I want to know. I've talked a lot about it. I want to hear Chris's opinion. What do you think of this season? What do you think is going on with this show?
Chris Frangiola
Well, first of all, my wife was a huge fan of Sex and the.
Heather McDonald
City, as most girls are.
Chris Frangiola
Yes. Loved it. Had no desire to watch this at all. Okay, no desire. And still has not watched it. And then last night, I was kind of telling her a little bit about it, and she was like, I don't understand who the show is for. Like. Cause people who are fans of the original one would hate this. And certainly if you, like, picked up on this show, you'd be like, what is this show? Like, none of it makes sense if you didn't know the backstory of Sex and the City. So that I agree. Like, who is this show for? Secondly, this is the second season now, or third, whatever it is. But this is the second time I've had to watch an old man jerk off.
Heather McDonald
Yes. I forgot.
Chris Frangiola
Because we had to watch Big jerk off too. Remember, his glasses were down and she was. They were trying. They were doing, like, a dirty talk, too. Yeah, yeah. Right before you wind up dying.
Heather McDonald
No woman. That's the thing. No woman. That's why I said in my last episode. Are any women writing this? Because no women want to see a guy jerk off. It is not a turn on. But this guy goes, but gay guys do. And I'm like, yeah, it's written by gay guys. Because there's nothing more horrifying than, like, licking your palm. And, like, nobody wants to see how you get yourself off when we're not around.
Chris Frangiola
Like, not a child actor. John Corbett must have been like, really? Like, why? Come on, can we do something else? Like, I feel like that's so embarrassing to me.
Heather McDonald
And then Sarah Jessica Parker admitted on Howard Stern, I don't watch it.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
So it's not a taped sitcom where even if you're not in the scene, you saw what other people did. You had a table read. I think she shows up for her scenes and gets the fuck out and is doing some mental health care by not watching it.
Chris Frangiola
Have you noticed? Which I think the same thing, because I've noticed she doesn't really do any scenes with the new characters outside of the Indiana.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
Seema. But she's never involved in those whole other plot lines, you know, with the black couple. And she's like, I'm not getting involved in whole new plot lines of characters they're trying to shoehorn in. Like, nobody wants those plot lines that they seem fake and it seems forced and they're boring.
Heather McDonald
It's just. They're boring.
Chris Frangiola
They're just boring. I think they're leaning way too much into comedy or trying.
Heather McDonald
Speaking of the other character, the beautiful girl, Nicole Parker, who is a black documentarian. Her story, which is boring as shit. But anyway, I see next week that since her female editor has left, in walks she goes, oh, what's this? What's she like? The next. They're like, it's not a she, it's a he. In walks this gorgeous black man that looks like he was a former professional baseball player turned, you know, model.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And I'm like, I don't know. I've seen a lot of male editors in my life.
Chris Frangiola
Dan Brown. They're not this.
Heather McDonald
They're not. You're in it. Yeah. They're not like. I mean, so, you know, of course she's going to then, you know, be tempted to have an affair or whatever. And, yes, the comedy. Okay, so we talked about, like, the corny of the comedy. Writing is horrific.
Chris Frangiola
Horrific. There's puns that are. I watched your episode last week talking about it. The puns are so painful. Like, I have to blame all of it on Michael Patrick King, I believe, comes from the clock because he directs it. And the directing is bad. Everything is bad.
Heather McDonald
The acting is.
Chris Frangiola
I know. That's what I'm saying. So that's part of the dream. Right?
Heather McDonald
Right.
Chris Frangiola
Like, and just. And then the whole plot with the. With Canton. Mario Cantone and his bread business or whatever, I'm like, this is.
Heather McDonald
Wait, I want to go to that.
Chris Frangiola
Dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Heather McDonald
Okay.
Chris Frangiola
It's so dumb.
Heather McDonald
And first of all, these legs are clearly not the skinny young kid. Like, how do you have the legs like that? That are huge muscle leg, and you're like, skinny on top, but whatever. I don't know Italian accents if this guy is really Italian, but to me, it sounds like a very bad accent. His boyfriend's Italian and their whole thing. I'm like. But I. Okay. I've watched this episode so many times because it's so bad. I made my friends watch. First I watched it alone. Then I made my sorority sister sit through this episode.
Chris Frangiola
Three.
Heather McDonald
Three.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
I made my sorority sister sit through it over the weekend just to. Because I was so angry. Then Shannon spent the night on Saturday and I made her get in my bed and watch it. And she fell asleep and I was like, I don't know if I should let you leave the house before I show you the worst scenes. Then yesterday I made Drake watch it. But I did find one funny line after I watched it the third time. In the dinner scene with Mario Cantone where Charlotte's like, I'm a mother and everyone's saying, mom, where's my clean laundry? Mom, where's my. And then he goes to the girl who was originally Rocky, who was. I think she was trans. And now this year they're just not talking about that. And then he goes, he comes over with his bread and he goes.
Chris Frangiola
Mario Cantona.
Heather McDonald
Mario Cantona goes, mom, should I wear more deodorant? The answer is yes, like, right to the girl, Rocky. And I go, that is kind of funny. Like, it's so mean to say to a 15 year old girl, but it is kind of funny. And I'm like, that one. He must have ad libbed himself because he is a comedian. Like, okay, but his whole thing of like. And this one won't wear the jumpsuit to get this whole bread thing of.
Chris Frangiola
Like, it's the first of all.
Heather McDonald
And look at this dick. I have a question.
Chris Frangiola
I know. What are they?
Heather McDonald
So on this side is the dick.
Chris Frangiola
I know what's on the other side because they showed several guys.
Heather McDonald
Okay, so how does he have two dicks?
Chris Frangiola
No, I think those are supposed to be the balls maybe.
Heather McDonald
So that's what I said. I said, is it the balls? So can I ask a question?
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, go ahead.
Heather McDonald
When you wear tight jeans, you split the parts.
Chris Frangiola
No, I mean, obviously this is somebody who's far more well in debt or whatever fake thing. Then. Yeah, I don't have that issue.
Heather McDonald
But do guys put balls on one side and dick on another?
Chris Frangiola
No, it all kind of morphs into one. You know, it just looks like a big ball of flesh.
Heather McDonald
Okay, so wait, I want to talk about kind of cure thing. Okay. Also in episode three, there is a whole fried chicken storyline.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, yeah.
Heather McDonald
That starts from the beginning.
Chris Frangiola
Who's that guy though? The guy who comes in and goes, I'm the manager of the.
Heather McDonald
I need to know.
Chris Frangiola
I'm like, is he somebody famous that I'm supposed to know?
Heather McDonald
This is what I'm saying. I need to know some of these guest stars. Who is their parent? Who is their parent? Best friend.
Chris Frangiola
Cause it's bad acting. It's a weird look.
Heather McDonald
It's a. I thought.
Chris Frangiola
But it takes you out of the show. Like, not that. You know, you're like. All of a sudden, like, why is that person involved in the. Cause it's odd. Dress.
Heather McDonald
Well, also, they show them on the plane. Okay. They show them on the plane. Seema and Sarah Dunn. Because now that I've watched it four times, I can. They're on a plane, gonna go to Virginia to, like, do her speaking arrangement, meet Aiden. And she goes. And I'm like. And there's a pissy, you know, flight attendant who's like, everyone needs to sit down. Cause she's still putting her bag in there. I'm like, all right. And she sits down, and she's like, can I have a tequila soda, please? It's my vacation. And he's like, you can wait. And she goes, why can't a gay man just give me what I want? And then later on, when they're at the restaurant, then she mentions, I really want fried chicken. Then they go to the restaurant, and Seema goes, I'll have the. Is the Mamba's fried chicken really as good? And I almost feel like trying to make her like, Kim Cattrall, like, mmm, darling, I want some fried chicken. Bring that grease and put it on my. Like. I was like, what is she doing? So she's like, is fried chicken really as good as you say? And then he's. And he's like, oh, mama went heart healthy. We gotta do something else.
Chris Frangiola
And I was like, we got the wrong menu.
Heather McDonald
So what? I'm like. And then we finally get to why someone had the assignment of writing a fried chicken storyline. How much did Kentucky Fried Chicken pay them?
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Cause do you remember when we were at Chelsea lately? They came in and there was. We did, like, six of these. And they're like, we're getting paid a lot of money for you guys to write a sketch about. One was tampons, one was Bud Light lime. Bud Light Lime. And there was, like, a couple others.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And honestly, I thought it was kind of fun. I thought the church was kind of fun. So it was like, as a writing thing, it was kind of. We didn't get any extra money from it, but I thought it was kind of fun.
Chris Frangiola
We did, like, Arby's too.
Heather McDonald
Remember?
Chris Frangiola
We all went to an Arby's.
Heather McDonald
We did our. In our middle of the night. Yeah. We'd come and do a special thing.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. We shot, like, commercials.
Heather McDonald
We paid, like, 330extra dollars, but who knows how Much the show or E got. That's fine. This was our job was to write. So I'm like, there is no way that Kentucky Fried Chicken didn't give them a million dollars. Because I was like, this was all for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Someone isn't struggling with weight, but it's to show that it doesn't matter. This is what you want to eat. And then does Kentucky Fried Chicken have to approve the storyline? Those are the things of being. We were writers on TV shows that I'm like, I would like to know. Because this was just so boring and made no sense at all. And no one cares about your real estate job.
Chris Frangiola
No. And that guy who plays her boss.
Heather McDonald
And he's like, I'm 90. And I'm like, there's no way that, like, a big realtor that made it in New York would be an eccentric, like, San Francisco hippie. That's not. Who would be the biggest. Look who the biggest realtor people are in New York City and they're like, conservative looking people. Like, what? That was so.
Chris Frangiola
And isn't that guy who comes in who takes her job, isn't he a real realtor?
Heather McDonald
He's on that show and he's done several acting jobs and his acting has not improved.
Chris Frangiola
No, I know. It's just like, now we're gonna deal with this guy.
Heather McDonald
And then he goes, I like her. You would know her if she's a top realtor. You would already have known her and been like, seema, like, let's work together. I mean, this is so stupid. Ugh. Then. Okay, let me show you something else. Okay. So now they're eating the chicken, and I hate fake eating on a show.
Chris Frangiola
Like, yeah. Mm.
Heather McDonald
Okay. So then could the foreshadowing not be so fricking obvious? So then she gets a rent a car and she goes over those grates that say, don't back up. And they literally zoom in on the side. I'm like, we got it. Yeah, we know she's gonna back up through it. Why did you have to show us that?
Chris Frangiola
Like, I know all of it. That's what I'm saying.
Heather McDonald
That's the bad direction everything's taking you out of it. You're like, what is this? And, yeah, so I'm very frustrated by all that. Tell me what else you think.
Chris Frangiola
Honestly, I'll say this. I thought Rosie o' donnell was kind of good, and I would have liked to have. They should have kept her in it.
Heather McDonald
How great would have been if they hit it off? And then Miranda was like, so I'm going on a religious retreat with the nun. Like, that would have been funny. Or she's going to church. And then Miranda's like, you know, I was raised Catholic. Like, there could have been a whole funny thing.
Chris Frangiola
Honestly, it would have been more fun watching them walk through the M and M store than the dumb plot lines they've come up with. You know, they kept goofing on the fact that she was doing, like. You know, I know.
Heather McDonald
That was also mean. Like, why. Why would you be. First of all, you. You decided to sleep with a woman you met for one second. Like, you're gonna just take home this girl, right? Like, you're that horny to be with another body, that you're just like. Like, you don't know she's a murderer. Then you. Then you're, like, making fun of the fact that she's not, like, a true blue New Yorker. Like, well, I don't know what's worth Miranda, you being with a tourist or with a nun. It was just like, what?
Chris Frangiola
And now, of course, the gardener. The new gardener comes in, is gonna be the new lovin' well, that whole thing was like.
Heather McDonald
Then she goes up and she's like, you know, your shirt.
Chris Frangiola
Like, home of the Whopper. Like, I'm like, doing these jokes. We're doing these jokes.
Heather McDonald
This is what I was looking, like, imagining the writers room. And they're like, all right, what are your funny jokes? And then somebody was like, I saw this Pipster with a Whopper shirt. Like, it would be funny if she was like, that's copywritten. Now, it would maybe make sense if she was a lawyer, copywriter, lawyer, or in advertising. She's a realtor. Why would she care? Why would she start with that? Your shirt is copywritten. That's what I'm saying. It doesn't go with the cadence of the character, the background of the character. And then he's like, well, my attorney's Ronald McDonald. Like, right off the bat, you'd be like, oh, I didn't even know that. I. I didn't even think about this from you. Like, if you're a gardener, you'd be like, this is a shirt I wore, lady. Like, I don't know, but you're pretty cute. Like, if you're gonna have a romance, he wouldn't be this witty thing who's into gardening. And then. And then, listen, I'm. But I'm like. And then he has his nephew there. And I'm like, okay, what is going on here? So I have a prediction that's another weird case. I have a prediction. I have a prediction. And everyone, I'm telling you, we thought that he was gonna go for Carrie. Now, Seema likes him, okay? The gardener. He has a adult, a young adult autistic nephew that he brings to work with him. Which I'm all for showing that I think that. But I think it's got to lead to something.
Chris Frangiola
Absolutely.
Heather McDonald
And because everybody has no original ideas on this writing staff, Seema and him are getting intimate and his nephew is over. This is my prediction. His or Carrie, one of them is getting intimate with Gardner and she went and bought like sexy lingerie or something. And he comes in and. Because he knew, like the exact statistics of her car, because, you know, he's on the spectrum and they have a talent for that. He's gonna come in and go. And she's gonna go and try to cover her, like, bra and underwear. And he'd be like, that's Victoria's Secret from 2007. That was a vintage push up bra. That's gonna be the joke.
Chris Frangiola
You know what? You're probably dead, right? That's when I'm completely finished with the show. Or if I have.
Heather McDonald
I'll never. I'll never be finished with a show. I will watch it till it. Till I'm the last person watching it.
Chris Frangiola
I just read an article in like New Yorker magazine or something that said basically that it said, let's just all watch it right into the ground. Cause it's, you know, it's just because.
Heather McDonald
It brings me passion, right? I don't have a passion of hate or love for any other show right.
Chris Frangiola
Now than this one.
Heather McDonald
Than this one. And like, Shannon's like falling asleep and I'm like, no. Like, people are saying, heather, I'm done. I won't watch it. And I'm like, no. Do you think I have to watch it because I'm watching it.
Chris Frangiola
Do you think we're gonna have to watch Steve jerk off? Are you ready? Ah, come on.
Heather McDonald
Hey, Miranda, remember when we do Steve jerk off?
Chris Frangiola
Ah, come on, Miranda. Gonna make me take my cock out. I don't wanna do it. This is. That's not right for me.
Heather McDonald
Okay. Yeah, I got the kid. Okay. So of course, my favorite storyline that I talked about was them going out partying all night. Joshua.
Chris Frangiola
I love espresso with the Swedish.
Heather McDonald
And everyone's like, what hap. Why does Mirand. Why does Charlotte now have these big eyes all the. And so we were watching it after she gets hungover. She was putting eye drops in her eyes. And Drake goes, is that why. Is that a part of the storyline of why her eyes are so big all the time?
Chris Frangiola
She also seems like she's almost to the point where she's gotten like. Like she's a little mental or something. Yeah, it's just like they've become such characters themselves.
Heather McDonald
Yes.
Chris Frangiola
That it's. I don't know, it's all gone. And then the hackiness of, like, the old men, because they did two different old men. Like, I'm cool, right? The black guy was like, oh, my God, you're right.
Heather McDonald
They did with Lisa.
Chris Frangiola
With the girl.
Heather McDonald
Lisa Parker's husband. He was like, I'm cool, right? I'm cool, right?
Chris Frangiola
How can I be cool?
Heather McDonald
And then also, like, mom jeans are in right now. So that joke is old.
Chris Frangiola
Like, they're completely skinny jeans. Joke is like, really?
Heather McDonald
Right. But then also, yeah, the little girl goes, oh, are you going to da club in your mom jeans? And I'm like, mom jeans are actually super in right now. So, like, that was a joke from 12 years ago that Tina Fey did on SNL.
Chris Frangiola
And then they.
Heather McDonald
Who are these writers?
Chris Frangiola
Buttons fly. Can't get the button flies open, so.
Heather McDonald
He pisses his pants. That's just gross.
Chris Frangiola
I know. I mean, if I was some of these actors, I'd be like, honestly, outside of John Corbett and a few others, like, Evan Handler doesn't work that much. He's probably like, I'll do the piss.
Heather McDonald
I get why everyone is like. And why you won't watch it. Because you just like. And I'm not. I mean, if I was them, I'd be like, I'm not gonna watch it. I'm not gonna. You know, and they even did a bit where Miranda goes, I hate watching Love island, you know, where. How could this bisexual girl be this into guys and girls and be such a bad picker? I'll never. And then, you know, and then she's like, you know, you can stop watching. She's like, I can't. The people think that was, like, them knowing that everyone's hate watching.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And so they had to write that in. We get it. You're hate watching.
Chris Frangiola
Well, you know what? I'm with you, though. I kind of watch, too. And then there are certain scenes where I'm like, all right, wasn't the worst scene. You know, so.
Heather McDonald
No, like I was saying, the Adderall is actually a good storyline. And there's going to be something where Aiden then is. Is gets pissed at Carrie because he's like, I Don't want white on Adderall. You went and got the Adderall from my ex wife?
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
You didn't ask me about it. Like you need to tell me when you're talking to my ex like we have a problem. Like I trust, trust me, he's gonna get.
Chris Frangiola
This is gonna end this season, right? Aiden and her over this season. I think we're done with that one.
Heather McDonald
I'm so. And also, why does a guy that lives in, I'm assuming a six to seven million dollars home with a two story guest house. Why is it always because they're rich and they're on a farm. They have to have a truck from 1975. You're telling me you have a working.
Chris Frangiola
Farm for jerking off so you could lay out and jerk off?
Heather McDonald
Well, it's not great. Cause he beefs the horn.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, he beefs the horn.
Heather McDonald
But I'm like, it's with no air conditioning. And he's like, well, the air conditioning's good in the house, but you have a truck that does. And you know that you're picking up your girlfriend and her ritzy friend. You don't have an extra car that's like a normal car. Like keep the truck for fun. But like a rich person would have a cute bronco that looks old, but it's new and costs $150,000.
Chris Frangiola
One of the other fun parts of the show is that they have to find a bunch, but because they're all of a certain age now and they have to find a bunch of around 60 year old actors who aren't famous, you know, because they couldn't, they can't pay that kind of money. So they gotta find somebody who's been in the acting game a long time. But the reason why they haven't achieved any success is cause they're bad actors, you know what I mean? But they're good looking. And so you're seeing at least like all of them, every guy who talks to Seema. Cause Seema had a whole thing where there was like nine different guys who came to the bar and she was, she would give them the ups, she read them there, whatever.
Heather McDonald
And what boss would ever go to his 55 year old executive employee and go, I'm buying you a matchmaker because you need to find somebody. No man would ever say that to a 55 year old single woman. They'd be like, you're on your own.
Chris Frangiola
But seeing the bad six year old actors come in every episode is my favorite part.
Heather McDonald
It is amazing. It's the best thing ever. So then. Oh, and then these girls, the art girls, are my favorite. Like, it's so.
Chris Frangiola
I mean, this looks something out of. Like, this looks like out of a Sunday Night Live sketch. This picture.
Heather McDonald
I know. That's what I'm saying. It's like they're trying to. Okay, then I want to say this popped up. This was a sketch that was done 20 years ago, around then, with Bea Arthur playing Ave. Pagoda and Avegoda. And then I watched the whole thing. I remember it, and it was, what if Sex and the City. If they're old.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And I watched the whole sketch. And Charlotte, the character of Charlotte, who's being played by the mom, remember the lady from Facts of Life.
Chris Frangiola
Yes.
Heather McDonald
And then there's Sally Struthers, and then there's somebody else, and they all have wigs on and they're all acting like a girl.
Chris Frangiola
Like the teacher from Facts Life. Charlotte Rae. Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Charlotte Ray's. They go to a nightclub. And the same lines that happen with Charlotte where they go. I've had more. I've had hot flashes that are more fun than this night. I'm dreaming of my slippers. I was like, oh, my God.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, my God. So it really is a sketch now and then.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. Then she's doing her thing and I mean, it's crazy. Okay, this is a rumor that it's going around. Oh. I have talked very little about the phenomenon that is Bonnie Blue, who is a woman.
Chris Frangiola
English.
Heather McDonald
English. Very attractive white woman with big blue eyes, perfect body, perfect hand, who does these marathons where people. Guys can show up. And she keeps trying to break her records.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. Like 1,000 men.
Heather McDonald
And the questions I have are, is it that she just lays there, like, with her legs in stirrups or whatever, and each guy goes, one pump, three pumps. It can't be that every guy is going off. How many constitutes so that she can get to the next one and break the record?
Chris Frangiola
I don't know. I don't know the rules, you know?
Heather McDonald
Well, the rumor is that she, in fact, was born male.
Chris Frangiola
This is my favorite one yet. I have not heard this one.
Heather McDonald
And when I heard it, I said, I don't know if that's true. But as a woman, even the most prolific porn stars in history are flabbergasted by this. And it's like, I don't know. This would. I don't know if it's true. Now, what was that person in this picture? I don't know. If they just found a guy that looked like her and someone Is just crazy creating this rumor. I mean, apparently she says she has parents and they are all supportive. I don't know if we've ever seen the parents. I've wondered if this whole thing was a hoax. Like, is this even true? But you see the men and then this and that. So I don't know. But if someone had, like. I mean, if this was the case, it would really be interesting.
Chris Frangiola
Like the thousand guys. Is that something that you could, like, is it on Pornhub or is it on OnlyFans?
Heather McDonald
Is it something you watch, like, videos where it's.
Chris Frangiola
Or she just says, I did a thousand.
Heather McDonald
Like, they'll do like a song where she and another girl are like. It's about. Like the song will be like, about to get crazy. And then these guys all have masks on and they're behind them. Well, now you could just hire actors to do that.
Chris Frangiola
Right, right, right.
Heather McDonald
And then there's rumors or like, when you find out your guy went to the Bonnie Blue or whatever. I'm just like, how do we know if this is even happening? I don't know.
Chris Frangiola
Is there something that you, like, can you watch it on OnlyFans? Like, actual insertion or something of a thousand people?
Heather McDonald
I mean, I would think the whole thing. If this is real. Yes. And that is how you are making millions of dollars a month so that eventually you can retire your nether region. I don't know.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
I'll tell you this. So I had my girlfriends over for the weekend. And they're all in different industries, right? One's in software, one's in, you know, pharmaceuticals. And one. One is in like, HR of like, big departments.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
And so there's a lot of AI talk.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, yeah.
Heather McDonald
Like. Like, you wouldn't think it was menopause and AI talk. A lot of it sounds like Sex in the City. Yeah. But I was like, actually, this. This is more interesting conversation. And my one friend said that, you know, there's talk or whatever that only fans might. Is looking to sell or whatever because they think that OnlyFans will be 100% taken over by AI and these girls won't have the ability to make the money they're making now.
Chris Frangiola
You mean AI like the people will be AI? Like the.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. I mean, already we know that the communication and stuff is obviously not them. Or you hire somebody, whether they're in India or in your. Your guest house or whatever. But I mean, I still think that they're. If you're a. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. But it's just like, very. Anyway, it was just weird. So I don't know if it's true or not. Also, this came across. These girls are real conjoined sisters. And I came across a sketch. They do sketches about themselves being conjoined sisters, being funny.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, good.
Heather McDonald
They just laugh about it.
Chris Frangiola
No, that's good.
Heather McDonald
About how, like, somehow they're like, talking about how, like, the mom, like a guy's acting like their mom and they're like yelling at him, like, why did you, you know, tie us together to save money or something like that. I don't know what the sketch is, but.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, that's good. I thought they were gonna say they're on OnlyFans. I was like, I don't know if I want to be that.
Heather McDonald
This. I saw this. Steve Carell did a commencement speech at Northwestern. And then he goes, and now for our mid commencement speech, dance break. And the music starts. And it seemed like such a bomb of a joke.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, he did like a dance.
Heather McDonald
He just. Everyone just like got up and he like danced. And you know, whoever was near, oh, isn't this great? Cause it's. Steve Carell comes down the audience and I'm like. So then you do a mid dance and then you have to go back and talk to. I mean, I can't think of a better, a worse way to like, do a stand up bit. Like, if you're gonna sing or dance, you, like, do it at the beginning or the end. You don't do it like midway. I don't know.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, well, he's not a standup, so he probably learned that when he got back up and tried to.
Heather McDonald
I am still haven't gone to a lot of commencement speeches in my life since I have grown kids. They don't get any more interesting. Unless you do have like a star.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, right.
Heather McDonald
Like, I don't. I mean, if I was a college, I would pick a star every time. We do not need the person who won the humanitarian award for, you know, this continent or whatever. We need, like, the Will Ferrells. Steve Carell. I'm sure his speech was great. I just saw the one dance thing. I would have told him, mm, I don't think you need it. But talk about the office, talk about things, like, something. But anyway, okay. Oh, Bianca is still on it. She went out in a see through nude one piece suit and fur boats.
Chris Frangiola
So she's still doing it without Kanye. So people, a lot of people said it was Kanye making her dress like that. And.
Heather McDonald
And now she like brings her sister along.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, good. So they're not conjoined.
Heather McDonald
No. Tell me what else is going on in your life.
Chris Frangiola
Well, I'll ask you a couple of. Summertime.
Heather McDonald
Yes. Summertime. Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
Are you familiar with a Sardines Summer? It's Sardine Girl Summer.
Heather McDonald
No.
Chris Frangiola
Have you heard anything about this?
Heather McDonald
Please do tell.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, okay. Have you noticed sardines are on everything now? Sardines on every clothing, every handbag, everything.
Heather McDonald
What does a sardine even look like?
Chris Frangiola
It looks like a little. Basically, it's like a little tiny. Just a shape of a.
Heather McDonald
Okay.
Chris Frangiola
And it's on everything. And they're calling it.
Heather McDonald
I've never even eaten a sardine. Cause there's always like a roast thing that people would have in a can.
Chris Frangiola
It's an old man eat it, you know?
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
Anyway, it's Sardine Girl Summer. You probably didn't know that.
Heather McDonald
No, I didn't.
Chris Frangiola
I'm here to tell you, everybody and your listeners, Sardine Girl Summer. I heard about it a couple of weeks ago and I've since mentioned it on my podcast. And everybody is sending me, go to Target. Go to Target. Go to any. Go to any store. Everything is covered in sardines. Every Jurassic World.
Heather McDonald
Does anyone know why? Who started it?
Chris Frangiola
Some fashion thing that came out of, like, Italy or something. And it's. They're calling it Sardine Girl Summer. So I. I recommend. You're gonna go into, you know, on. On your vacations coming up now it's. July is coming. You need to get yourself something. Sardine. Sardine earrings. Sardine. You name it. It's everywhere. Sardine Girl Summer.
Heather McDonald
I'm on it. And then also, you know, I know you've heard of the Labadooba Doo or whatever, those little dolls. So what is the deal? Because I have no idea. First of all, I don't have a real Birkin. I would never buy this for. To put on purses or whatever. I get that. It's. I get why little girls would want it. It's the Beanie Babies of our time or the Cabbage Patch Dolls or whatever. And it's a marketing way to get them to go around. Don't understand that and don't find it a particularly interesting conversation about it, but whatever. Good for them.
Chris Frangiola
My daughter has not asked for these yet. I haven't heard anything about it other than what I'm reading about Labadoodoos or whatever.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, I think it's little girls, but it's also like adult women.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, it's adult. I see adult women. Wearing them.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
But that's just settling.
Heather McDonald
It's one of those like Kathy Hilton just had a party where like all the labadoobies or whatever came there. Like it was like, oh, come and you could buy other things. So she's got like a jewelry line. But then also they had a big thing where like you could, I don't.
Chris Frangiola
Know, you could buy the car or.
Heather McDonald
They'Re giving them away to the people at the party.
Chris Frangiola
I don't know, they're like 90 bucks a piece or something.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. And I guess it like, I guess it started with that whole thing kind of like how there was the unboxing of like food or whatever. Like you don't know what you're gonna get. So I guess that's the fun of it.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. Well. And can I ask you another.
Heather McDonald
Yes.
Chris Frangiola
Summer related question.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
Is there currently. Do you have a song of the summer? Have you heard anything where you're like, this is the one. Like the Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter last year seemed to be song of the summer.
Heather McDonald
Well, it's not the one that Charlotte danced to. Abba dabba doo. Abba dabba.
Chris Frangiola
Have you heard Will Smith's new one Pretty Girls?
Heather McDonald
I did. I talked about that on Pretty Rough. I actually thought it was kind of catchy.
Chris Frangiola
Oh really?
Heather McDonald
It's like how does it go?
Chris Frangiola
Pretty awesome about Pretty Girl.
Heather McDonald
I like pretty girls. Yeah, right. I don't know that it's gonna be a hit.
Chris Frangiola
No, this. Yeah, I haven't, I haven't heard one yet.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
Outside of like maybe Benson Boone or something.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
Mystical, magical. Which someone told me it's just physical from by living Newton John. And now I listen to it, I'm like, oh, it is physical by a living Newton John. It's like the same. Funny.
Heather McDonald
When you like hear that.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Yeah.
Chris Frangiola
Anyway, that's it.
Heather McDonald
So you're coming to my party next week?
Chris Frangiola

Heather McDonald
It's just a celebratory party. Past apps, cool drinks.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
Cute people.
Chris Frangiola

Heather McDonald
Funny people.
Chris Frangiola
How many people? 100 people, hopefully. Oh my God. I didn't think.
Heather McDonald
Or 12.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, I thought I was thinking more along the lines of 12, but 100 is great.
Heather McDonald
No, it's like a real party.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
OK. A real party celebrating people like you.
Chris Frangiola
But I'm the biggest. I mean I feel like I need some sort of.
Heather McDonald
You're gonna get a special thing outside of you. You're gonna get a special situation. That's gonna. There's gonna be a mic moment of me where I. I say some things.
Chris Frangiola

Chris Frangiola
I'm going to Montauk July 1st. Now, can I just tell everybody if the. If I have no connections anymore. I don't know anybody. I know you have a large audience, and you have a hipper, cooler audience.
Heather McDonald
Wait, when do you leave? How long are you there?
Chris Frangiola
I'm there July 1st to the 14th. Like, two weeks.
Heather McDonald
Okay. Okay.
Chris Frangiola
But there's, like, some new places.
Heather McDonald
Oh, it's gonna be the funnest.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, there's, like, a place called Mary Lou's that. They came from Palm beach that just opened in Montauk, and it's just, like, impossible. So if anybody knows anything, get in touch with me. You know how to do it. Here goes. This is what you're doing.
Heather McDonald
You can help him get a reservation or a better table. Reach out. I just don't like the brim of the hat.
Chris Frangiola
But it's.
Heather McDonald
You don't like the flat, but it's not terrible.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
I'm not horrified at all.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
Where are your blue. I like your blue glasses that you said were douchey.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, I have. Oh, this? I could. I bring, like, seven different pairs of glasses.
Heather McDonald
I'll do the blue One with this look, because the blue shirt.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah. And now what do you think of like, buy the shirt because it takes Fourth of July.
Heather McDonald
But it says 25.
Chris Frangiola
20. Yeah, 20. 25. God, I hope nobody thinks I'm 25.
Heather McDonald
But it's supposed to be like a football theme.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, well, you know, it's fun. People go, look at this guy.
Heather McDonald
I don't want to know.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, you don't want to know. I think I was like, at an American. Like. No, like an American eagle. Like four kids. Like a. You know, if you're 22, you shot there. Oh, I was like an American eagle.
Heather McDonald
Okay.
Chris Frangiola
I was on the road, you know, killing time.
Heather McDonald
You're shoes match perfectly. They're white with a blue stripe. Baby. Blue stripe. I think, I think it's great.
Chris Frangiola
Thank you.
Heather McDonald
I think it's great.
Chris Frangiola
But this is, you know where it's a whole thing. Yeah, it's a party place. I can't. You can't be in. You can't wear like a suit.
Heather McDonald
I. For 4th of July, I will be at my home here.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
In the Westlake area.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And where I live, we don't have like. It's not like we can see the fireworks from our house. Fourth of July is always a really.
Chris Frangiola
Hard day because how come you choose not to like, go to like do a Fourth of July, like beach. Beach vacation?
Heather McDonald
We've done that. But I just want to stay in my neighborhood because there's. There'll be fun. Like I'll just. We have a nice pool, so we'll. Maybe we'll invite some people over. Whatever.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
But if we want to. Actually, first of all, I'm going to be totally honest.
Chris Frangiola
Okay.
Heather McDonald
I last a lot of Fourth of July's. We have started the pool, fun, the boozing, and I have been asleep before the fireworks.
Chris Frangiola
I agree. Me too.
Heather McDonald
And asleep, you know, passed out, slash.
Chris Frangiola
Because what people don't mention is it's got to be real dark for the fireworks. So they don't really start till like 10pm yeah.
Heather McDonald
And then if you have to get somewhere and then you have to set up your blanket, whatever, who cares? And as the kids got older, they didn't fucking care. So then I'd be like, oh my God, I'm missing like fireworks again. And so it's. I mean, I'm definitely. I want people to come over and I also want to be invited to people's houses and I want to be invited to anybody that has like a boat in Westlake because there's a big thing that Happens in Westlake, where people get on their little Duffy boats and people tie them together, and it's kind of like a crazy thing.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
So that could be fun in the day, but then still, how you can keep it going, drinking or not, how you keep it going from a barbecue for lunch until 10 at night.
Chris Frangiola
I can't. Yeah. I feel like, you know, that the Sex in the City, you know, with espresso martinis, you know, I can't keep going.
Heather McDonald
It's a lot. I don't know. It's like, I gotta split up the thing. And I always remember one of my bigger regrets in life for partying was I had a choice. I was a single girl in my 20s living in Brentwood, and I had a choice to go to the Pacific Palisades with this couple who had a cute house and little girls. That was my sister's friend. And I was like, oh, that's beautiful. They had a cute. It was a nice house. It wasn't even a crazy house. They're having a little pool party, and I'm like. And I was looking for a husband. I was thinking maybe he had a. Maybe he had a wife or something. I mean, maybe he had a guy. But it was pretty family friendly. Then I was gonna plan on driving all the way to Los Feliz to go to a party.
Chris Frangiola
Impossible.
Heather McDonald
Where all the Groundlings people were and some SNL people that were home for the week.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
But by the time I left the Pacific Palisades, I just was, like, the thought to try to go all the way. And I didn't. And I heard, like, Will Ferrell was there and Augusta, like, all these fun people. Chris. And I was always like, why. What was I. Why did I go to the Palisades party in the start? Like, it is very hard. I've had so many times where I've been, like, trying, like in Malibu, trying to go from one party to another. You can only choose one party location.
Chris Frangiola
There's no two parties at any.
Heather McDonald
Especially in Los Angeles in the same neighborhood. Like, you can.
Chris Frangiola
Barely that.
Heather McDonald
Yeah. But you can. If it's in the same neighborhood. If you have to get on a freeway, never to go to another event.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
It's not going to happen. You shouldn't. You shouldn't.
Chris Frangiola
It's.
Heather McDonald
It's a. It's a lot of stress.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Also, thank you to our forefathers who made us Americans.
Chris Frangiola
Thank you. Absolutely. Yes. That, too.
Heather McDonald
All the people that died in 1776.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah, all that. All that. Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Chris, tell everybody where they can see you.
Chris Frangiola
Oh, my God. This weekend I'm in Escondido, California. Coming up, you guys, listen to this. On Thursday, I'm in Escondido. Friday and Saturday, Grand Comedy Club, Escondido, California. And then I'm off for a little while. The next year, just off the road. I'm off the road until the end of August, I think the last weekend of August I'm in Greenville. But every Francola Fun is gonna have all the fall dates. I have a ton of dates coming up in the fall and the winter, but the summer I'm off. Except for Escondido, California. Grand Comedy Club this Friday and Saturday night, and then I'm in Montauk. Hook it up, people.
Heather McDonald
Hook it up. Seriously, when we say hook it up, we are not asking for a free meal.
Chris Frangiola
No nothing.
Heather McDonald
I'm not trying a girl to be like, I'm the manager. What night do you want to come in? I got a cute table for you.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
And I can make your life a little better.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
And I like your podcast. That's what?
Chris Frangiola
That's it.
Heather McDonald
And of course, Chris is going to post about and talk about it, blah, blah, blah. Of course. So, you know, or if you have a place that had that that he hasn't mentioned that you are like, we're better than that spot.
Chris Frangiola
Let him know also. That too. I don't know anything anymore, you know, and it always makes me look good in front of my brothers and stuff.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, because you're spongebob Square podcaster.
Chris Frangiola
I know. And the people be like, why is that?
Heather McDonald
That's a great joke. And then to get back to the anger, okay. I was like, okay, so the young guys in the law firm are making fun of a 60 year old married father of two for not going to nightclubs. Who the fuck at 60 is going to nightclub? So he's like, they call me spongebob Square partner. The young kids call Chris Frangola spongebob Square podcast.
Chris Frangiola
That's why I wear this shirt.
Heather McDonald
So who, who was watching? So a 30 year old man is making a Spongebob reference to tease his. Like, that's where I'm like, that's why you guys. That's why the writing is so bad.
Chris Frangiola
But I'm like, if there's a writer's.
Heather McDonald
I'm thinking of what would come up.
Chris Frangiola
Doesn't anybody go, should we come up with something better than that one? You know, I feel like it's. They just take the first joke.
Heather McDonald
I don't know how much collaboration is Happening in rooms. I know. That was one of the bigger things that was part of the Writer's guild strike.
Chris Frangiola
Yeah.
Heather McDonald
Like, they were like, no, we're not gonna do the weeks of prep with everybody together. I'm gonna cut that out and you're just gonna have to like write it off by yourself.
Chris Frangiola
It shows. It shows. It really fucking shows on a lot of shows, actually.
Heather McDonald
A lot of shows. A lot of things. Like, don't like even the Friends and neighbor show, which I kind of like. There's a lot of things that don't make sense, like casting wise and other things. Even though that's a pretty decent show.
Chris Frangiola
Right.
Heather McDonald
It's still annoying me.
Chris Frangiola
That's Jon Hamm.
Heather McDonald
Yeah, it's pretty good, right?
Chris Frangiola
I've heard.
Heather McDonald
You know what? That's a good one to download for your flight to New York. Okay. I like to download like a series. I feel like the time goes quicker on a five hour flight if it's a series than if it's like two movies.
Chris Frangiola
I agree with you.
Heather McDonald
Because you're like, okay, I got one. Okay, I only have two more left. And you're like looking forward to the next thing. I think that makes the fire hours go by so fast.
Chris Frangiola
I'm doing it.
