Transcript

[Lizzie]

You want to open it now?

[Shane]

Kind of.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Shane]

What is it?

[Lizzie]

I was going to save it for Christmas.

[Morgan]

I must be psychotically obsessed with this woman in a way that should scare her and her family.

[Lizzie]

I think it's a chip on your shoulder because you've been called schleppy before.

[Shane]

You stole someone's.

[Morgan]

Hold on, dude. I almost lost it on him again this week.

[Lizzie]

I've never gone to your house where I'm not borderline attacked by him.

[Morgan]

I'm posting on Instagram.

[Lizzie]

What are you posting about?

[Morgan]

This is our second to last sip.

[Lizzie]

Are you kidding me?

[Shane]

No.

[Morgan]

Am I wrong?

I'm not wrong. Is my coochie out?

[Lizzie]

Take one. I don't care that your coochie's out personally. However, if YouTube demonetizes us because your coochie's out, then all of this wasn't for nothing. Because I'm so grateful to be here spending time with the sippience.

[Morgan]

The sippience? The recipients of the sip.

[Lizzie]

You're posting on your Instagram story still?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Okay. Just let us know when it's over.

[Morgan]

Done.

[Lizzie]

You are looking gore. Just you guys. How dare you look so pretty.

[Morgan]

I told you. I told you multiple times.

[Lizzie]

I'm out here being Chris, so I didn't have any time to get ready. Haven't showered.

[Morgan]

Okay. We're classing it down. With my coochie being.

[Lizzie]

I just wanted to be able to spend time face to face, even though circumstances have not wanted to allow.

[Morgan]

I honestly, I think even if my son, for sure, I. Because I would never risk it.

[Lizzie]

I don't think your son had hand, foot, and mouth. I think he had, like, a weird bump. I don't. I've never met all the.

[Morgan]

Mom said that that bump was hfm.

[Lizzie]

I know, but I've never met a kid who hasn't been affected by HF md.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but, like, Billy's built different.

[Lizzie]

Don't. You don't want karma like that right before.

[Morgan]

I know.

[Lizzie]

You're right.

[Morgan]

You're so right. But, you know, I don't believe in karma like that.

[Lizzie]

That's so wild.

[Morgan]

My whole coochie's out. You keep picking.

[Lizzie]

Well, I can't see it. I mean, making me nervous. It's such a bummer because I can't cross my legs out of being the most cautious we can be. We're outside with the widest angle known to man, and my coochie's out, and Chris still had a runny nose yesterday, so we were like, that's too close.

[Morgan]

Well, listen, I Am not trying to get the. I am absolutely dying. I cannot breathe. I cannot breathe. And if you gave me the flu right now, I would probably.

[Lizzie]

I don't have the flu. You're talking about Chris.

[Morgan]

Well, anyone. If anyone gave me the flu right now, I'd probably beat their ass. And usually I don't give a fuck. I'm like, you would never knowingly give me the flu. So I'm not like, how could I be mad at you? But it's like, no, you gave me the flu, bro. And it's on site. I would not survive it. I would not survive it. I'm already mucusy as fuck from this.

[Lizzie]

Pregnancy and I'm being a little crazy, I'll admit. Lizzie said she started watching last week's podcast.

[Morgan]

Had to turn it off. Like you had to turn it off.

[Lizzie]

She goes, I think you need some therapy. If you got a little further, you would find out that I'm also not in therapy.

[Morgan]

Oh, I don't need to know that. I mean, like, I don't need you to confirm it.

[Lizzie]

I know it because she got here and I warned because initially I was going to let Chris come. I was flirting with danger, and I was like, okay, but nobody uses the bathroom. And as soon as the sit down's over, you guys are out.

[Morgan]

You guys, I literally go to the bathroom nine times an hour now.

[Lizzie]

You sent me the. I'm never going to be able to find it. You sent me the diagram of, like, why you can't pee or poop and why everything hurts. There's no room. That child is taking all room in your body.

[Morgan]

All morning I was driving here and I was like, am I in fucking. Damn it. He's doing it again. I'm like, am I in labor? I've like. Because I've been having really consistent contractions for, like, a long time. And then I realized I'm not having contractions. He's just moving weird and there's not enough space for him in there right now. So his head is crunching on my cervix and his legs and his butt are making my stomach feel really hard. So I thought I was contracting, but really it's just his body.

[Lizzie]

You're looking so cute, though. Like, I'm considering how gay I am. I'm like, you know, I feel cute. It's gorgeous. Like a pregnant woman that's glowing that's about to pop. I mean, I feel for Joe because it's probably not fun for him.

[Morgan]

Poor Joe. Dude, we need to cut Joe a break.

[Lizzie]

I don't know that we do. No, I think you texted me about him. This week was violent.

[Morgan]

What was it?

[Lizzie]

Are you kidding me?

[Morgan]

Well, there were a couple things you just said.

[Lizzie]

I could murder this man. He just told me with full excitement. I feel great. Yeah.

[Morgan]

No, that was crazy. That was crazy. And I was like, tell someone else. And then the second I said, tell someone else, he acted offended. And I was like, are you kidding?

[Lizzie]

And then to be nasty later in the day, I was like, you know, I really am feeling great today.

What did he do that was nice? He deserves.

[Morgan]

He does a lot of nice things. And I don't think this is performative. No, it's not.

[Lizzie]

No, it's performative.

[Morgan]

No, he does a lot of nice things. He rubs my feet. I say, can I have my magnesium feet? And he comes in and rubs my feet and my calves.

[Lizzie]

And I knew what he did right this week.

[Morgan]

What?

[Lizzie]

He gave you what?

[Morgan]

A role in his movie. I'm a movie star. Well, get this, though.

[Lizzie]

Can you believe how booked we are?

[Morgan]

Dude, I might have to drag my ass to Alhambra.

[Lizzie]

I thought you spelled Alabama wrong when you told me that.

[Morgan]

Could you imagine? I'd rather go to Alabama than Alhambra.

James keeps being. I'm like. Because I'm. My character, without giving too much away, is a woman who's being held captive and forced to deliver her baby.

[Lizzie]

Okay. Are you still going to be pregnant? Is this happening?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's happening the day after Shane's pilot.

[Lizzie]

You're the day after, like, I shoot Shane's pilot?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Oh, my gosh. And then the following week, I've booked Mr. I've been, like, a celebrity booker.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

And I booked Mr. Bubs.

[Morgan]

You won a celebrity booker. You are lying to the audience right now. You have never believed in Bubs star power. You and Shane. This is my biggest criticism of both of you have never understood the celebrity of my dog.

[Lizzie]

I.

[Morgan]

You disrespect him every day, and it's crazy.

[Lizzie]

I appreciate Mr. Bubs for what he is, but I don't understand.

[Morgan]

No, you don't.

[Lizzie]

I don't understand his Internet presence. Like.

[Morgan]

No, you don't.

[Lizzie]

The captions are beyond what I can comprehend.

[Morgan]

So this motherfucker calls me a couple weeks ago and goes, we're filming right by your house and we need a dog. Could we have icky? And I'm like, I think this is.

[Lizzie]

A cute little, like, munchkin that, like.

[Morgan]

Here'S the thing about Icky. Icky is great in my house. And When I say great, I mean not good.

[Lizzie]

I would say he's an adorable dog. I wouldn't say he's great at.

[Morgan]

He's great when you're. No one else is there, including us. Icky's great in a vacuum inside of.

[Lizzie]

A pillowcase that he put himself in that he might die inside of if he doesn't have supervision.

[Morgan]

He's so dumb. He's so dumb. And I can't stand stand it. I wish he wasn't just seeking death around every turn, but he is. So I said, no, you can't have Icky. Mostly because if Icky's outside and excited for an hour, he will die.

[Lizzie]

Well, here's the deal. Let me rewind. We're. One of the shooting locations for Shane's pilot is not even a mile from Lizzy's house. No, it's like four blocks and we're. There's a scene where somebody is walking a dog and screaming at somebody on the phone. And I was just going to bring one of my dogs, but that's 40 minutes from here. And I just like. It's a logistical nightmare. And I thought, oh, Lizzy has two gorgeous dogs. I could book the non celebrity dog stupid because Bubs doesn't like me.

[Morgan]

No one does. You're a very acquired taste, I'll give you that.

[Lizzie]

And it's good that I'm not seeking friendship, right, because.

[Morgan]

Because that might come with germs. You might let the sickness in.

[Lizzie]

No, I have been crazy lately. She went in to go to the bathroom because I let her use the bathroom even though I told her she was gonna have to squat.

[Morgan]

I can't squat right now.

[Lizzie]

I let her go in, but then I'm. I'm there with Lysol spray and wipes.

[Morgan]

You should have waited because I'm gonna go nine more times.

[Lizzie]

That's fine. I'll do it again.

[Morgan]

You're gonna do every time I go potty?

[Lizzie]

That's a public restroom, and I don't want the public to get sick.

[Morgan]

I don't think they're gonna. You think they're gonna catch pregnancy?

[Lizzie]

I don't use that bathroom.

[Morgan]

Oh, I wish you had cleaned it before. I used it then. Nobody's sick here anyway. This is begging for Icky's ass. And I'm like, you can't have it because he will die. He will die. He will over a heat and die. He can't handle it. And he. There's a lot of concerns with Icky. What?

[Lizzie]

I forgot. I literally unplugged that blow up. How is it back up?

[Morgan]

Oh, I can't see it.

[Lizzie]

Did you do that?

[Morgan]

No, it's blocked for me. I can't see it.

[Lizzie]

Can you talk loud so I can hear you?

[Morgan]

Can you hear me like this? You don't need to hear me. You're already part of this in real time. So this. I go, no, you can't have Icky, but you can have Mr. Bubs. And he's famous anyways. Like, don't you want, like, a celebrity in your pilot? Why would you ask for the unknown when we have the known. The Mr. Bubs? And he's like, I don't know. I don't know if we want Mr. Bubs. He's not very cool or whatever. Like, I don't really get it. And then this morning, he calls me, goes. So I guess, like everybody else in the world seems to understand that Bubs is a major powerhouse in Hollywood.

[Lizzie]

I said, bubs can't be cool because I've never gone to your house where I'm not borderline attacked by him.

[Morgan]

He.

[Lizzie]

You're.

[Morgan]

You growl, I push his.

[Lizzie]

But you pick fights with him when he does. He.

[Morgan]

He is a lover out in the world. He, like, likes to be at a farmer's market. He enjoys a restaurant.

[Lizzie]

A farmer's market was the last time you went to a farmer's market.

[Morgan]

I drag his ass to a farmer's market once a year just to make him happy, and he loves it.

[Lizzie]

No, I said, I don't think Bubs can be cool. I didn't know that you thought he could be.

[Morgan]

No, he definitely. He's cool. Every time we leave the house, and I tell you that every time we.

[Lizzie]

Leave the house, I lightly book Bubs. And then today, no, I'm going to pick up all of this podcast equipment at the office because there's a huge production. Like, it's pre production week. So there were maybe 15 people in that office. And Shane goes. Were like, did you get actual confirmation from Lizzie that we've booked Bubs? And the whole table was like, yeah, Mr. Bubs.

[Morgan]

The.

[Lizzie]

You know. And I go, yeah, I know his mom now.

[Morgan]

I'm cool.

[Lizzie]

And they're like, that is such an iconic Easter egg to just have sitting inside of this pilot.

[Morgan]

I know. And the show's called canceled. And if there's not a dog that's canceled, it's Mr. Bubs.

[Lizzie]

Incredible. Incredible, incredible. So I'll see you there, period. Wow.

[Morgan]

I've been so crazy about this pilot, too. Like, there's a guy at Hugo, who's like, I love you guys.

[Lizzie]

You cannot rub in their face that you have an acting gig. They're all aspiring actors.

[Morgan]

Let me finish. This guy just says, I love you guys. He's like, I've met Spencer, I've met Morgan. I've met you. And, like, all these things. And I'm always like, I was leaving the other day with Billy, and I was like, you might meet Shane. We're shooting over here next week.

And he loves it here.

[Lizzie]

Litter. I mean, yeah, Literally. Incredible. So I'm a little sad because this is going up after my children's birthday, but we don't know how it's gone down yet.

[Morgan]

Wait, why are you sad? Oh, because you won't get to recap.

[Lizzie]

It until, like, two weeks later when, you know, I'll have already forgotten the funny details of everything that's gone down.

[Morgan]

We can write it down, but I.

[Lizzie]

Have a really cute balloon arch from the same lady that did your baby shower balloon art. But it's coming inside. We're gonna, like, flower frame. Like, we're gonna frame going into the kitchen. It's gonna be really cute. And the theme is caution. We're turning to.

[Morgan]

Oh, no.

[Lizzie]

All construction.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

I got them a sandbox with a lot of sand.

[Morgan]

How did you do that?

[Lizzie]

I ordered a big. It was a nightmare. I did a lot of research on Amazon, ordered the structure of the. The sandbox, and then I went to 400 different stores that said they had sand in stock, and they actually didn't have sand in stock. So now I placed an order from Home Depot because I was going to get it from Amazon. But then I realized I didn't want 400 boxes that I was going to have to break down after. So that are heavy. So a delivery is supposed to be coming today. Well, I have sand of sand from Home Depot, £500.

And they got a bunch of, like, construction cars to play with in the sand dump truck.

[Morgan]

Do they love the sand?

[Lizzie]

I mean, yeah. Every time we go to the park, they're obsessed with the sand.

[Morgan]

When Billy gets in the sand, it's like he's on Molly. He just has to rub in it.

[Lizzie]

Sorry, I'm just panicking that we're recording. Yeah, he likes it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like he's on drugs.

[Lizzie]

A sensory overload.

[Morgan]

Oh, my God. He sits in it and just rubs. Gets down on his tummy and rubs like this. Like he's swimming through it. And one. But it's like, it sucks going to a public park because you're like, are there Hypodermic needles in this and cat shit. Billy has a huge scar on his shin from getting scratched in the sandbox.

[Lizzie]

Well, now he can come over and use our sandbox candy. And you know, I'm going to be. I'm going to be hand sanitizing it. No, after this pilot, I'm cool. I literally don't care. I don't care. After this pilot, it's all good. Like, you have hfmd. Come on over, mama.

[Morgan]

I would never. I would never.

[Lizzie]

But right now, in real time, as we're speaking, I'm probably filming my, like, big cry scene. And I heard through the grapevine, tear sticks don't work with contacts.

[Morgan]

Do you know what you should try?

[Lizzie]

What?

[Morgan]

It's fucked up. I don't know if you're man enough for it.

[Lizzie]

I started thinking of Tiger Bomb. What's that?

[Morgan]

Tiger Bomb is like Icy Hot or Icy Hot. I used to use Icy Hot if I couldn't get tears coming because it hurts so bad. It is like you're actually crying. It's like a physical response because it's so fucking awful. But I would put a tiny bit of Icy Hot on a Q tip and then blow up at it into my eye because it's more intense than the menthol of a cry stick and it's cheaper.

[Lizzie]

Is that gonna affect the long term health of my eyesight?

[Morgan]

I think I'm fine.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I can't see you right now, but.

[Lizzie]

I might just take out my contacts. I don't know. I don't know. I'm gonna have to test. I need to order it, like today because if it doesn't work, I. Because here's the thing. I started going like, okay, what can get me there in real time without utilizing a cry stick? And all of it felt like I was manifesting something too dark.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

You know, like every scenario in which I'm crying is so dark that I don't even think I can think that hard about it or I'll manifest it into my life.

[Morgan]

You can also think about crying as a physical state instead of an emotional state and get there in a different way. Like, I. Like I remember doing a scene one time where it's like, I'm so frustrated that I'm about to explode, but I couldn't get there emotionally. So then I started thinking, like, what does physical frustration feel like in my body? Like, I can't breathe, I can't think. Like, I'm shaking, I'm red, I'm. And then I work my body into a Physical state. Sometimes I'm even actually like I will run, I will push a wall and get so mad that I can't move the actual wall.

[Lizzie]

When have you been having to cry that you're practicing this?

[Morgan]

I used to do acting classes every week. Wow, that was the first dream girl.

[Lizzie]

I mean I. I started writing cuz.

[Morgan]

No one was going to put me in anything.

[Lizzie]

I still think it could be your dream.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Lizzie]

I really do.

[Morgan]

Because I'm in a pilot in a movie now.

[Lizzie]

Yeah. And maybe something else too. I've heard it's no. Can you believe that you were manifesting?

[Morgan]

Should I email them?

[Lizzie]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Should I say, listen, I got a guy on the inside that said some good news is coming through the pipelines and it's gonna come after just ratting out your ass. No, I'm being very vague.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Should I just do it?

[Lizzie]

I mean. Yes. What do we have to lose? Nothing.

[Morgan]

Hey, it's me again. I know you guys want me.

[Lizzie]

I mean, let me take a picture of you looking like a snack today.

[Morgan]

Should I send them a video?

[Lizzie]

She's figured out the high socks with the freshly cleaned New Balance and she's got the Grinch outfit on with a slicked back bun. That is dangerous. It's so sharp.

[Morgan]

Thank you for noticing.

[Lizzie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Uhhuh.

[Lizzie]

Incredible.

[Morgan]

I was feeling it today. I. This is the only thing from my newly packaged. That's like really good.

[Lizzie]

Are you going to keep it? I mean, after Christmas it's like what business do you have wearing it?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Are you going to wear that to the wrap party? I think you should.

[Morgan]

Oh really?

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

No, I'm not gonna have it for the wrap party. I'm gonna return it.

[Lizzie]

Oh, you need to keep it.

[Morgan]

When's the wrap party?

[Lizzie]

Well, I don't want to say an exact date.

[Morgan]

Well, can you like cover your mouth and mouth it.

[Lizzie]

This one next after? No, I guess in two weeks. Yeah, no, it's so far. It's because the shoot's now five, six, seven, eight shooting days.

[Morgan]

I don't think I'm gonna make it to the party.

[Lizzie]

You're gonna be like in the hospital.

[Morgan]

I'm 39 weeks pregnant.

[Lizzie]

That's wild.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna make it.

[Lizzie]

Are you coming to the table read?

[Morgan]

I'm trying to.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

You scared me when you said that.

[Lizzie]

Well, no, you stay. Well, you just.

[Morgan]

I feel like stay away from the one person I know there.

[Lizzie]

Yeah, well, my mom and sister might show up.

[Morgan]

When do they get.

[Lizzie]

Because there's gonna be Food and drinks and stuff too, at the table.

[Morgan]

Are they coming today?

[Lizzie]

Tomorrow?

[Morgan]

Oh, my God.

[Lizzie]

And that's why I've been so crazed, because I'm trying to get all of my work done for when we're shooting this pilot ahead of time. So I've been running around like freaking idiot with my head chopped off, being like, I could do it, I could do it.

[Morgan]

It's fine. No, that's me at home. I filmed all of my brand deals through the end of the year.

[Lizzie]

That's incredible. You had that many brand deals. Did skims come back for a second?

[Morgan]

No, but they said my spot was really cute.

[Lizzie]

They did?

[Morgan]

Yeah. They're like, this is so cute. Like yesterday, I don't know.

[Lizzie]

Oh, okay.

[Morgan]

But it went live enough for my mother in law to see it in and I was like, if you want to get me a Christmas present, you can get me some skims. And she did. So they're coming today.

[Lizzie]

Didn't you already get them from the.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but I want a mil. I loved them. I like literally everything.

[Lizzie]

Okay, hold your horses, hold your horses.

[Morgan]

You made a whole vlog for that.

[Lizzie]

I didn't even think about ads for today.

[Morgan]

Oh, no.

[Lizzie]

Oh, no. Thank you so much, Seatgeek, for sponsoring this podcast. Seatgeek's incredible. It's obviously the number one rated ticketing app because it's fantastic. There are over 35 million downloads and that's because there's over 70,000 events listed on Seatgeek. There are so many fabulous artists on tour right now. I'm going to open my SeatGeek app just so I can, like, scroll through a few to tell you. Billie Eilish Lord, Sabrina Carpenter just finished up, but you missed a lot there. The Jonas Brothers, John Legend, Cardi B. Halsey, and so many more. You got to get your tickets on SeatGeek because they are offering you 10% off when you use our code, the SIP10. And that's a fantastic offer. I will tell you when I'm stuck in a rut or I'm stuck in my head and I need to get out of just being in my own way, going to see a live event really shakes it up for me. Oh, yeah, it really makes me. I don't know. It's such a nice reset to get out of the house every time. It's like a vacation.

[Morgan]

It's inspiring.

[Lizzie]

Every time. Lizzie and I are like, wow, we are refreshed. So I don't know. Check it out. Have a good time. SeatGeek is incredible because they rate all of their tickets on a scale of 1 to 10, look for green dots. Green means good, red means bad, and every ticket is backed by their buyer guarantee. Lizzie and I always also buy our parking ahead of time on SeatGeek. That's fantastic. I don't know if you get a discount on parking, but you do get a discount on tickets, so make sure you use code the SIP10 the SIP10 to get 10% off your tickets. Seatgeek, we love you so much. Well, I'll just say I got some horrible news when I just looked at my phone.

[Morgan]

What? The sand's not coming.

[Lizzie]

The sand better come. Don't.

[Morgan]

Sorry. I don't know. I was just guessing.

[Lizzie]

Shit. So I guess Hillary Duff.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Announced extra tour. So she was. Have you been following? Okay. She released new music that I knew, which every gay man in America had been waiting for for years.

[Morgan]

I've not heard good things.

[Lizzie]

Okay, well, close your mouth. It's catchy. The more you listen to it, the more you're like, okay, it's kind of catchy.

[Morgan]

I feel like you. You have to say that.

[Lizzie]

I feel like. I don't.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lizzie]

I just wouldn't say anything about the song if I didn't want to.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lizzie]

Anyway, she. I heard her on some podcast where she was saying there was a clip when I was scrolling on Instagram and she said, like, yeah, touring might look different for me now. I haven't been in the music game for a long time. So she did a few smaller venues, and there were, like, tens of thousands of people waiting in queue to get tickets. So then she released more dates in Vegas where we saw Ashlee Simpson. I guess Shane was in line just now to get it. He said he was one minute too late. Or he said I was two seconds late and didn't get Hillary tickets. They were forcing you to buy four table or full tables, though, for 4K. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Got the final mock up for my.

[Morgan]

Does that mean I would have been going to Hillary Duff with you guys with my fresh baby?

[Lizzie]

Oh, yes. Because table's probably with four.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Okay, cool. Here's my mock up for the boys.

[Morgan]

I can barely see it.

[Lizzie]

Pretty. Don't worry about it. I'll show you.

[Morgan]

No, no, I want to see.

[Lizzie]

I mean, you're gonna see it. I'll put it on screen. You'll. You're gonna see it soon enough.

[Morgan]

It looked like minions from over here with my glasses off.

[Lizzie]

Well, it's construction.

[Morgan]

I know that.

[Lizzie]

Just don't worry about it.

[Morgan]

I'M not worried.

[Lizzie]

Just don't worry about it.

[Morgan]

It's gonna be cute. You do cute things.

[Lizzie]

You'll see it on Sunday.

[Morgan]

You're a cutie guy.

[Lizzie]

You'll see it on Sunday.

[Morgan]

Do you know that we have a party on Saturday, too?

[Lizzie]

What?

[Morgan]

Yeah, we have holiday music class, a party, and then over here on Sunday.

You're going to tell me I can't come. You're so crazy.

[Lizzie]

No, it's cool. You can come. Oh, my God. My family's traveling in. What can we do at this point? You know, because.

[Morgan]

God, you're sounding rational.

[Lizzie]

They had already booked an Airbnb because there's so many people coming, there's not room for everyone to sleep in our house. We don't.

[Morgan]

Is Austin coming?

[Lizzie]

No, he's not. But my grandma, my aunt, my dad, my sister, my mom, There's a lot of them. Wow. And so they booked an Airbnb and had already booked their flights because we were supposed to have already filmed the pilot. Turns out we haven't yet, so it's just production.

[Morgan]

The life of a show girl, babe, so.

[Lizzie]

Oh, we already did talk about your role in Joe's movie. Is it a paid gig? No. Okay, so what else is going on?

[Morgan]

I was gonna say you threw some shade at my mom mixer.

[Lizzie]

No, you were telling me you were dying, and I said a woman that's dying could not execute on what you executed on. It was the mo. I don't even know who you are with that cheese plate.

[Morgan]

I know. They'd give us a whole tutorial, so.

[Lizzie]

What?

[Morgan]

Yeah, through Billy's. What is it called? Preschool. Okay, through Billy's preschool, they do mom mixers and, like, dad dinners or whatever. So the first mom mixer was last night, and they had some. Set everything out to teach us how to make cheese boards because there's.

[Lizzie]

Oh, you made it at the school with things that.

[Morgan]

Oh, well, they provided everything.

[Lizzie]

See, I thought you into the store, you.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no, no. They provided everything, and they did a whole tutorial on how to make it cute, like Martha Stewart style.

[Lizzie]

That school. How do they have the energy? How are they doing?

[Morgan]

I don't know. Because I was also thinking, how do they have the money? Because the woman who runs it, all of her grandchildren go there, and she has, like, nine grandkids and counting. So I doubt that her grandkids pay tuition. That would be wild. Right? So how do.

[Lizzie]

Like, how are they staying afloat?

[Morgan]

I don't know, but they are, and it's lovely.

[Lizzie]

And they always have some Sort of event. I feel like every week you're like, oh, I'm at this event for Billy's school. I'm like, oh, my gosh. The social calendar is more than I can even comprehend.

[Morgan]

And it's also always so cute. Like, it is so cute.

[Lizzie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

But they stood up in front of all of us and they, like gave us each a little cheese board. Like a wooden cheese board.

[Lizzie]

Women know you're not Jewish. Yes.

[Morgan]

I think it's painfully obvious. I was like, question. If I were to ask, like, who Hashem was like, or what? Like, what is Hashem? And they're like, God. I was like, right, right, right, right. Yes. No, I know. That's why it was a hypothetical. If I were to ask, what would the vibe be?

Why don't we know?

[Lizzie]

I don't know. Because they don't teach us anything in our. No, I was taught nothing.

[Morgan]

Yeah, nothing. Not a damn thing.

[Lizzie]

No.

[Morgan]

But everything I keep learning, I'm like, this is great. It's very sweet, celebratory, joyful. Joe and I were laughing because we're so full of neuroses and self loathing that we get around them. We're like, oh my God, we suck. We're so sorry. Oh my God, we're so gross. And they're all like, why? Because they're just settled and happy people. We're like, where'd you get that? Where do you get that?

[Lizzie]

So didn't you say somebody? I think it's a chip on your shoulder because you've been called schleppy before.

[Morgan]

Whoa. Bringing that to the public is kurissae.

[Lizzie]

I don't think you're sloppy.

[Morgan]

I think, I think, I think we're schlubby. What is the word? Schlubby?

[Lizzie]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

It's something like schlubby. We're a little schlubby.

[Lizzie]

Who cares?

[Morgan]

I don't.

[Lizzie]

If you can't be your authentic self around somebody, then they don't deserve you anyway.

[Morgan]

I'm totally happy in my self loathing, in neuroses.

[Lizzie]

Well, I guess we could all use some self work. But if you can't present as who you are, if you're always putting on a front for everyone and saying, it's exhausting, it's too much, we can't do that.

[Morgan]

You can't wear a mask.

[Lizzie]

And if we've discovered anything from this gay man right here, the world unfolds for you once you allow who you truly are to be.

[Morgan]

I think that I've said this A million times. And I'll say it a million more. The world truly does become your oyster the second you embrace who you are, because you're not walking into a room with molecules that are in constant combat, which is really hard to be around. Around as an. As just a peer.

[Lizzie]

I think I got extremely lucky moving here. When I did, I didn't know that because it was a reset. I didn't know a single soul out here.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

So all I had to be was myself. So I don't. I can't, like, give myself all the credit in the world for doing that.

[Morgan]

Right.

[Lizzie]

However, I continued to maintain it, which is a little bit selfish, but when you're in your early 20s, you're allowed to be.

[Morgan]

You know, it's so funny. I was talking. I was texting Morgan this morning, and she was. I was telling her I was scared about something, and she was like, you're scared of something. I was like, morgan, I am the most codependent, scared people pleaser you will ever meet.

[Lizzie]

That's why she replies before you're even done typing.

[Morgan]

No, that's just because I like to talk.

[Lizzie]

I know. Yesterday she had. You had messaged me a few hours earlier, but I was working out. I was. I was doing a bunch of things. And then when I finally responded to you and I didn't get an immediate response, it was like, you hate me?

[Morgan]

I might put you on mute.

[Lizzie]

Do it.

[Morgan]

No, I love you. I love when I hear from you.

[Lizzie]

I'll take you off mute now that I've learned how to do do not disturb for the nighttime. Yeah, I can take you off do not disturb.

[Morgan]

Thank God for Christmas. Shane killed me. The other day. Shane watched me get a DM from Claire.

[Lizzie]

Oh, you're just gonna drop her name now?

[Morgan]

I am. I actually told Claire the other day. I told you.

[Lizzie]

Confessed.

[Morgan]

Well, okay. I was in the Patreon chat. Sorry for talking about Patreon Sec my balls. And I would. They were talking about how I mentioned Claire Danes as a chin actress and somebody misunderstood me and called her a mouth actress. But truly, Claire Danes, a chin actress?

[Lizzie]

Oh, very different.

[Morgan]

Very different. Very different. And I am an expert on acting, so I will be very clear about that. But when I saw the name Claire in the chat, I thought they were talking about my friend Claire. And I was like, nah, that's different, Claire. We're like, huh? And then I was like, oh, you guys don't. Never mind. You're not talking about a stranger you've never met or heard of before. That's crazy that I would assume we were all talking about my friend Claire. I must be psychotically obsessed with this woman in a way that should scare her and her family.

[Lizzie]

I think it has.

[Morgan]

I think it has to. And then I screen grabbed that and sent it to Claire.

You are.

[Lizzie]

I will say it is kind of shocking that you're codependent though, right? It is. Because you kind of like. And it's not with everybody, but she has certain people where she is like, is it seeking their approval or what is it?

[Morgan]

I think it's only really toxic, abusive people, to be honest with you. Because that. That's been the biggest. That's what I've noticed. And I don't know what that's about.

[Lizzie]

That is weird, I guess because they're good at doing what they do.

[Morgan]

I think it's probably because I've been conditioned by them over and over and over again. Yeah. So it. So it's something that my nervous system feels normalized by. Joe's always like, you're so great in a crisis and I' I know.

So much. So good for me. It's awesome. I love it. Cuz I get real steady in a crisis. I'm like, here's the plan. And it's a good one. Immediately.

[Lizzie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like when I had to go to the hospital over the weekend, I was like, this is the plan and everything's going to be fine and I'm just going to go there right now. And he was like, okay. And then I was like, just so you know, I will always tell you if I'm a little scared, I'm a little scared right now.

He's like, okay. I was like, I'm gonna get James to give me a ride.

[Lizzie]

And I'm just over here like taking credit for it. Like this woman is scared for.

[Morgan]

It was pretty. It's because I said we couldn't record.

[Lizzie]

Because you have hand, foot and mouth disease.

[Morgan]

No, it's definitely.

[Lizzie]

I was the. It turns out I was the least of her worries. Okay, you guys. Today's podcast is sponsored by Aura Frames.

[Morgan]

Also had a funny little conversation with Austin this morning.

[Lizzie]

Okay, well, what were you telling Morgan you were scared of?

[Morgan]

Oh, we were talking about how my organizer comes on the day that Morgan films for Shane's podcast. Yeah. Or pilot. Because Morgan's going to be my babysitter on my day. And so I was going to say.

[Lizzie]

She is.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

And so I. I guess she watches Evie. I was like, you trust her? She's actually great with my.

[Morgan]

No, she's watching me.

[Lizzie]

Oh.

In case you need to be rushed to the hospital.

[Morgan]

Yeah, because you're. Because you're busy. Joe's busy. If I have to go to the hospital, I'm Morgan and your mom.

[Lizzie]

Yeah. You can't uber to the hospital alone. You gotta have.

[Morgan]

Oh, I could.

[Lizzie]

No, no, no, that would be. But I would rather are available. So it's.

[Morgan]

Well, first it was just Morgan and then I had a conversation with Morgan where I was like, do you know what this is? I actually should have screen grabbed that because it was the most unhinged I have ever heard from Morgan. I was like, do you know? She's like, will I see your vagina? And I'm like, no, you won't.

[Lizzie]

You're dropping me off and sitting in the waiting room.

[Morgan]

She said, I've watched 37 million episodes of of Grey's Anatomy. I'm prepared.

[Lizzie]

Okay, so what did you and Austin talk about?

[Morgan]

So there's this thing in California where if you're self employed you can get. You put money into, like, basically like a disability account for yourself if you want to take time. If you need to take time off.

[Lizzie]

Oh, okay. Is this like you adopting an orphan on accident?

[Morgan]

No, this is normal. You do it too.

[Lizzie]

Okay, great.

[Morgan]

But as a. As a woman, there are all these things that you see online where it's like, if you're a woman and you own a small business, which I am, and I do, and you need to go on maternity leave, these are the things you sign up for. Last time I was pregnant, Austin and I went through the rigmarole of figuring out what they would give me, financially speaking, for maternity leave.

[Lizzie]

And it was like, nothing. Right.

[Morgan]

It's unlivable. It's literally unlivable. Do you know how much we pay into the state of fucking California for mothers?

[Lizzie]

More than I make. I pay more to them than I get to do take home myself, pretty much.

[Morgan]

No. It's so absurd how much we pay the state and how nothing we get from them, specifically as women and mothers. And it makes me so mad that I'm actually about to start screaming and burning down federal buildings.

[Lizzie]

I thought you said this was a funny story.

[Morgan]

I guess maybe it's not, but the other thing that's enraging is, like, Austin goes through this trouble because, you know, I can't do paperwork. So Austin's now wasting, what, probably five hours. That's a long time.

[Lizzie]

That's. It's too much.

[Morgan]

It's too much. And. And I'm like. With the Billy situation, like, we started doing it while I was in the hospital getting induced.

[Lizzie]

I remember. Yeah.

[Morgan]

And all. And. And all for nothing because they denied me.

[Lizzie]

They're around, too.

[Morgan]

Well, that's what we were trying to figure out. So we were trying to figure out a way that we could make it financially possible to not ruin my life. Because it's like. The other thing is, you don't want to be worried about these things while you're on if. If you. If you are on a leave, you don't want to be worried about these.

[Lizzie]

Things because it is time job to figure something like that out.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So after everything that Austin and I did last time, they basically denied me because I kept working. But I couldn't not work While waiting the 75 days for them to approve or not approve or even tell me what they would offer.

[Lizzie]

But also, if they do approve it and the rate is so low that it's not livable, you have to subsidize somehow.

[Morgan]

Exactly. But if you have subsidized they deny your claim. So because I subsidized while waiting, they denied my claim.

[Lizzie]

It's like, we're only going to give you money if you literally. It's in Rachel.

[Morgan]

It's. And it's fucking nuts because, girl, you already have a deposit of money I earned to give me back to my own damn self, and you're saying I can't have the money I earned back that you've just been holding and hoarding over my head? I could kill these people. I could literally. Okay. Anyways, so we've been trying to finagle the system, to work it in a way where that doesn't. That I can do both, right? And at the end of the day, Austin's like, well, no, if you. If you're working at all, if you have any income at all, they can't. They will not give you it. So I'm like, well, fuck it then. We're not. Then why even try? But I. My last text to him was then, never mind. And then I said, I hate the system. They can lick my balls. He said, the thought of your balls is grossing me out. I said, honestly, me too.

But it just pisses me off.

[Lizzie]

Because you think they're big and hairy. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Have you met me?

[Lizzie]

Oh, you're hairy.

[Morgan]

Are you joking?

[Lizzie]

Lizzie has been sending me the most aggressive photo.

[Morgan]

Full body nudes.

[Lizzie]

But you can't see her vagina because the belly is so big. But it's like she's just nude from all angles. Like straight down, legs out from the side, and it's just like she's nude, but it's like. It's like tasteful nudes where you can't see.

[Morgan]

It just looks like a turkey.

[Lizzie]

Yeah. The skinny legs sticking out in the big, big frame.

[Morgan]

And then I got stuck with my pants around my ankles and I couldn't get them off. And I was just laying in the bed waiting for Joe to come back and help me because his phone was in the room too, so I couldn't text for help. And then he had to pull my pants off for me. But at least he does that. Yeah.

[Lizzie]

The thing is, at least he does. You were like, no, he's a good man. At least he does that.

[Morgan]

No, I did. I almost lost it on him again this week.

[Lizzie]

Oh, my God. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yesterday, two times.

[Lizzie]

Let's keep it under four minutes, okay? Not for them, for Joe.

[Morgan]

Right? Joe is a great man. I love him so much. He rubs my feet. He does. There's all these disclaimers. Joe is not A bad man. Joe is a very present father. My son loves him. Joe, take. Joe is on it. Joe knows the baby's schedule. He knows what to like. All of it.

[Lizzie]

Like, you can trust him to feed.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And sleep and prepare the food.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And wash and lotion. All of it. He can do all of it.

[Lizzie]

I mean, the way that you're lotioning that baby is questionable, but. Okay. She sent me what she thought was a cute photo the other day, and I was like, what are you guys doing? What are you guys doing? He had Billy on all fours.

[Morgan]

That's how Billy. He assumes the position. And then he says, all right, put your hands against the wall. You're under arrest. Don't try any dumb baby shit.

[Lizzie]

I go, what is going on on the changing table? She goes, that's how he likes to be lotion.

[Morgan]

It is how he Ow it is.

[Lizzie]

And I was like, I don't know if that's how he likes to do anything, but okay.

[Morgan]

He assumes the position anyway.

We had the nanny coming at 10:30. I kept Billy out of school on the off chance that he had hand, foot, and mouth or the off chance that he didn't have it so that he just wasn't around it within 10 days.

[Lizzie]

You kept him home for 10 days while you were this pregnant?

[Morgan]

Yeah, because I'm not around. No, no, no. I'm not trying to find out.

[Lizzie]

I get it. I'm just saying what a nightmare.

[Morgan]

No, it was.

[Lizzie]

Have no break when you're like, this pregnant.

[Morgan]

When the nanny finally came, my body was like, we're gonna go down. I was like, okay, let's go down. So hold on. My throat is so dry. And my matcha's across the yard.

[Lizzie]

I'll get it.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Lizzie]

Where across the yard on the table.

[Morgan]

So the nanny was on her way, but she was coming at 10:30 instead of 9:30 when she usually comes. And. Oh, my God, he's literally not touching the matcha thing. And it's in a. This is. This is disturbed behavior walk. Show them what you've just done.

This man needs therapy.

God, that's good. So I was like. We were doing some picking up around the house because, you know, a nanny's coming, and the house has to be, like, a little bit nicer. Just a little bit.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Not much. Just a little.

[Lizzie]

I appreciate that for the nanny.

[Morgan]

And. And then I was like, I. I had to do a lot of work, so I said, joe, can you. I said, joe, this is what I have to do. I have to shoot five Brand deals. I would like to edit them. I would like to go for a mile long walk, and I need to approve my vlogmas episodes with James. Can you. And then I was like, but we need to go to Costco. So I'm wondering if I should just take Billy to Costco right now, but if I do that, is that gonna kill me for the rest of the day? He goes, you can do it. All right.

[Lizzie]

And this is when he's feeling great.

[Morgan]

And he's feeling great, you guys. I was like, okay, well, I.

[Lizzie]

That was me yesterday with the sand after the, like, fourth store. I was like, is this really worth draining all of my energy or should I just get it delivered?

[Morgan]

Just get it delivered.

[Lizzie]

Just get it delivered.

[Morgan]

And so then I went and I did the laundry and I texted my friends about how enraging it was that Joe was like, you can do all that.

And then I said, I'm gonna ask him to do it. I'm gonna ask him to do Costco. I said, can you take Billy to Costco? He goes, oh, I'm really not comfortable with that.

I was like, are you joking? Because I. I do it all the time and I'm a hundred years pregnant. He goes, yeah, it's different. I'm. I'm not really comfortable with it. And then I was like, okay.

What? And then he walked away. And I texted my friends, joe's not comfortable alone at Costco with Billy. Like, I'm gonna fucking kill him. Like, I didn't know how to respond to it, but I'm trying to be.

[Lizzie]

Cool, to be fair. I mean, I'm not. I'm just saying, I'm not even comfortable by myself at Costco.

[Morgan]

No, Costco sucks.

[Lizzie]

But I hear you. You're. You win. You win. I just also want to, like, mention how much I hate Costco too.

[Morgan]

Then Joe goes, can I go when. When the nanny gets here. And I go, well, then you're wasting your nanny time going to Costco instead of doing the work that you keep telling me you don't have enough time to do because you're napping.

So maybe you should just man the up. Like assume all and he might have foot two of your masculinity and put that tiny baby in the car seat and get your ass to Costco, which.

[Lizzie]

That car seat has changed my life, by the way.

[Morgan]

It's great.

[Lizzie]

It really like having a car seat that swivels. It swivels. So you can swivel it to the side when you put them in and then swivel them into position. Changed my whole life.

[Morgan]

It's awesome.

[Lizzie]

I threw out my back maybe three times in the last two years after putting them in and then lifting it and, like, trying to get. Because it's like you're lifting weight at an awkward angle.

[Morgan]

It's crazy. You're putting them in the car seat outside the car and then putting them in the car seat.

[Lizzie]

Because my car's really tall, right? So it's like I then have to, like, climb up with a baby and, like, it's not convenient. So these swivel ones.

[Morgan]

360 Cybex.

[Lizzie]

Game changer.

[Morgan]

Yeah. We should get sponsored by them. So then.

[Lizzie]

Yeah, okay.

[Morgan]

Instead of fighting with Joe, I kept it cool. I kept being like, okay, like, I totally hear you. Like, I'm. I hear you. I know that you have these feelings, and you're entitled to these feelings. I'm gonna need you to still go to Costco with Billy. He was like, huh? And I was like, yeah, I think you need to just do it. I think you need to put that baby in the car right now and go. We have an executive membership. You're going before the doors are open. No one's going to be in there. And you need to just do this. He was like, well, I have this whole thing that I do at Costco. I was like, right, so then change the thing that you do at Costco so that you can do it with your baby.

[Lizzie]

That's the whole thing. He does it.

[Morgan]

Costco monster cunt. Just goes through like a monster cunt. He's like, I can't really do that with Billy. It's like, right, so then don't do that with Billy. So do it. Do it a different way. Just be a monster. Don't be a monster. C U N T Just cut it in half. Do half, deliver half. And then he's like, and then how do I get back in the car? I'm like, I don't know. Think about it.

[Lizzie]

What do you mean, think about it? Do this.

[Morgan]

I was like, I do it. I was like, what I do is I keep Billy in the cart while I unload. And then we put the cart back. And then I pick his dumb ass up and I throw him in the car, and I lock the car door. And I. If I need to, I give him bombas or crack whores, which is how he says crackers, cracker, cracker, cracker. Now he's kissing everything that he loves. When he gets it.

He says, he kissed my belly this morning. He pulled my belly out of my bathrobe and kissed it. It.

[Lizzie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

And he held my head and hugged it and kissed it.

[Lizzie]

Aren't babies the best?

[Morgan]

Dude, we need more. We need more.

They're so good.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

That's the main reason I want this company to call us, because then I'll have at least a writing career also. And then I can afford to have 17 children.

[Lizzie]

Exactly. Yeah. And it's not cheap because then once you have Billy in preschool and a nanny at home because you're still postpartum, it's like, then the government won't subsidize your payment.

[Morgan]

I don't even like. And don't even get me started.

[Lizzie]

Today's podcast is Also sponsored by HelloFresh, the number one meal kit in America who always makes home cooking so much more easy and affordable. They take away those daunting trips to the grocery store, which is my favorite part, but they also deliver on wonderful meals that come right to you.

[Morgan]

I've been eating HelloFresh for the past week and my life is so much, much easier.

[Lizzie]

So much easier.

[Morgan]

Usually I'm in bed and I can't get out of bed to even function to think about eating. And I spend like crazy amount of money on takeout food. But having the hellofresh box at my house has meant that I can make dinner in like 30 minutes, eat it and go to bed.

And HelloFresh has got a and bigger in every way. They have doubled their menu. Now you can choose from 100 options each week. Right now you can choose from 15 plus high protein recipes each week with options like grass fed rib eyes or lamb chops. Delish. HelloFresh now helps you eat greener with veggie packed recipes that have two or more veggies per dish.

[Morgan]

The other thing is it's really hard for me to sort of like diversify Billy's like, food. And so having the HelloFresh box means I'm ordering something different every week. And guess who's eating it up? My one year old. He's loving it.

[Lizzie]

They also have steak and seafood recipes now delivered at no extra cost. They have wonderful fall recipes like classic beef chili or honey glazed pork tenderloin.

[Morgan]

I'm just getting so mad. Orange theory is now trying to get me back. Are you kidding? You guys never would have left me if your dumb ass manager hadn't been such a bitch.

[Lizzie]

Passport scam guy.

[Morgan]

I mean, we've done enough top of.

[Lizzie]

Stories like, okay, you want to move on?

[Morgan]

I mean, we can. But the passport scam guy keeps hitting.

[Lizzie]

Me up.

And saying what?

[Morgan]

Like trying to scam me more and I want to ruin his life.

[Lizzie]

I will say the one thing I like about the new iPhone update is it does screen my calls for me.

[Morgan]

He's not calling. He's emailing. He's like, you never finished your passport.

[Lizzie]

His email.

[Morgan]

I want to ruin his life. I don't want to block him. I want to know where he is and what he's doing. And I want to ruin his life. Life over $150.

[Lizzie]

And he took your 150?

[Morgan]

Yeah. And then tried to get more because he's like, this is dumb. She told me everyone's maiden names crazy. So Travis Kelsey has a podcast with his brother. Have you heard?

[Lizzie]

I have the New Heights podcast with. And no, we're not nasty on this podcast.

[Morgan]

Wait, we're gonna say something nasty?

[Lizzie]

It's. It's just.

[Morgan]

Wow, you are crazy.

[Lizzie]

Have you ever tried listening to it when Taylor isn't on it? Yes and.

[Morgan]

Well, no. Okay, I've seen reels.

[Lizzie]

I've tried because, like, back when they first started dating, I would see these quotes of things Travis would say talking about Taylor, and I was like, I think Jason's good. And I was like, I'm gonna. Jason's introduction to Taylor Swift made me dislike the man.

[Morgan]

You're so crazy.

[Lizzie]

So loud in a way that. Listen. Okay, see, now I'm yucking everyone's yum. This is what cut it off. Oh, my God. I'm just saying, like, I don't want to be nasty about somebody. I'm sure Jason's a great guy.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

It was just too much for me. Oh, my God. See, okay, this is why I try not to do Hot Topics on this show, because it's hard not to be nasty sometimes.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I know. I know.

[Lizzie]

You know? Yeah, I think the podcast is probably great. I am not the demographic.

[Morgan]

I do Think that they do a really good job of interacting with our guests.

[Lizzie]

Such as? If they tried to turn on our podcast, I think they would feel similarly.

[Morgan]

Maybe they'd like it. I don't know.

[Lizzie]

Okay. How do they interact with their guests? Did they have someone on that piqued your fancy?

[Morgan]

They had George Clooney on.

[Lizzie]

Oh, really? I didn't. I thought it was just them, like, broing out over football.

[Morgan]

No, they have like a bunch of random guests on all the time and they're like, very prepared for them and they ask them, like, interesting questions about things that I am interested in.

[Lizzie]

I'm circle back.

[Morgan]

There's words you're going back to. I honestly think Jason Kelsey is probably like a sweetheart with rage problems. Like me.

[Lizzie]

I think that should be your Instagram bio. Sweetheart with rich problems.

Honestly, I think that's your merch. Sweetheart with rage problems.

[Morgan]

I wish I could, but I feel like Sammy sweetheart, like cornered the market on sweetheart.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

You don't even know what that is. Jersey Shore. Did you not watch Jersey?

[Lizzie]

I didn't. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[Morgan]

This guy is so unreal.

[Lizzie]

I wasn't an MTV reality show guy guy, but I did watch the Real World.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Anyway. Sorry, I'm vomiting in my mouth.

[Lizzie]

I'm sorry. Kelsey brothers.

[Morgan]

George Clooney has famously said that he never argues with his wife and they never fight and it's like, weird. Flex my guy then. Do you even see her?

[Lizzie]

Also, it's not. I mean, not fighting. Fine. But I would hope that if there's no way that you can live with somebody without tension arising at some point. So I would hope even if there's not a fight, there's constructive conversations.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lizzie]

He's saying not even that.

[Morgan]

Not even that.

[Lizzie]

So then they just don't coexist.

[Morgan]

He literally said, I'm 64 year old man. What am I going to argue about at this point there?

[Lizzie]

I've never met two people that can cohabitate without one problem.

[Morgan]

Are we in like a war zone?

[Lizzie]

I don't know who they're looking for.

[Morgan]

Dang me.

That'S American high.

[Lizzie]

So did he elaborate?

[Morgan]

He's been talking about this for like a decade.

[Lizzie]

What?

[Morgan]

Yeah, he won't shut.

[Lizzie]

Did they live on different properties? Probably the same law.

[Morgan]

Probably.

[Lizzie]

This is like. This isn't real. No, he's not better than us women.

[Morgan]

No, this is old news.

[Lizzie]

Trap.

[Morgan]

This is the new news.

[Lizzie]

Oh, oh.

[Morgan]

Travis goes. I've never fought with Taylor. We don't argue. You guys have been Dating for two and a half years and if you have and you're never together longer than 24 hour period and you're on bachelor themed dates like and if then you.

[Lizzie]

Shouldn'T be getting married until you know how you fight.

[Morgan]

Yes. Agree.

[Lizzie]

I think you should probably live with a hot take, but I think you should live with somebody.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

I think you should know how each other fights. Because what if you get into a fight and you guys are not compatible in constructively coming to a solution?

[Morgan]

I will say this, like, I think they're like, I'm a broken person. I come from a rage filled home. I don't have an archetype for healthy argument. And that's because like I just don't.

[Lizzie]

Right.

[Morgan]

So. But as an adult I am aware of that and I make, I make it such a point in my life to quell my rage and to find a way to speak kindly to those that I love when I'm upset. That so that I would say is something that if you're looking for a relationship, you at least know your partner is working on being a good person.

[Lizzie]

For Shane and I, it took. And not because we weren't, we couldn't come to a solution with conflict, but it did take years to understand how each other process the world different from one another.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Lizzie]

Because that really does influence a lot. Yes. Like something that wouldn't offend me in any regard if anyone did, it might offend Shane.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

And so getting to the bottom of why that offends him and why that's valid even though it's not like you have to be able to constructively see where each other are coming from.

[Morgan]

Absolutely. And also like I as a partner, I want to put my partner before myself.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And that's really hard to do especially as a person who's scared, who's, who comes from a family of limited emotional resources.

[Lizzie]

Well. And there was a divorce. So it's.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I mean, and so like with all of that being said, it's like you gotta know how to, you gotta know what's going on with this person and you don't know what's going on with this person because you've been together for two and a half years, but for the first year they were on tour and you were. And now. And for the last two years you've been football guy, which is like being on tour.

[Lizzie]

Well, and, and this is why I never want to like poo poo on somebody's joy. And I do think they are both full of joy. But it Is also with circumstances that are out of this world. Like, they elevated each other's careers in a way that is unimaginable. That he was winning the Super Bowl. She was on the biggest tour of all time. It has been such a whirlwind of them being busy but joining in to celebrate and become bigger than together. It is like, I'm, I'd be, I hope that they are compatible in the way that oh, so do I believes they are.

[Morgan]

And I'm not saying pick a fight.

[Lizzie]

With Taylor Swift, but it's like, maybe you should get into a conflict before you get married.

[Morgan]

Or even just like, talk about what conflict means to you. One of my girlfriends, I was like, do you like, scream when you fight with your husband? And she was like, no. And I was like, like, that's crazy.

But I love, I, I, I think it's cool.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But yeah, definitely, like, have a conflict convo before you say we don't have conflict.

[Lizzie]

And maybe they do. They just haven't fought.

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Lizzie]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Lizzie]

I don't know. Because there's no world even in there. Okay. Even if they're not fighting, conflict isn't in their relationship. They both have high stress careers. There's no way that there, there hasn't been a day that they're both on edge about problems in their career. And then snap at each other. Because they're both on edge, not at each other.

[Morgan]

We all saw Travis Kelce snap on his coach on the sidelines.

[Lizzie]

So it's like, I don't buy this. Like, and not just for them. For George Clooney. For anyone. Yeah, it's, that's not how the world works.

[Morgan]

No.

[Lizzie]

I could say something to you that would make me, like, think about it for, I mean, mean, I'm just saying.

[Morgan]

Like, no, we're talking about lifelong relationships.

[Lizzie]

No relationship is immune to conflict.

[Morgan]

No, but. Yeah, that's. I thought that was cuckoo nuts.

[Lizzie]

Yeah, cuckoo nuts.

[Morgan]

I hate to do it, but we have to.

[Lizzie]

What?

[Morgan]

We gotta talk about Megan. Our goal.

[Lizzie]

Only if you impersonate her while you do it.

[Morgan]

Do I impersonate her?

[Lizzie]

I feel like you do.

[Morgan]

I don't mean to, but she.

[Lizzie]

I feel like you've already started, actually.

[Morgan]

Oh, really?

[Lizzie]

I don't mean to.

[Morgan]

Yeah, well, she's just such a, she's, she is AI to me.

[Lizzie]

Yes. And unfortunately for her, I feel like she is AI because she's been so scrutinized. So she's become this like, AI version of herself trying to please people that can't be pleased.

[Morgan]

You are making me have empathy for her in a way that I never thought I could, to be honest with you. That was so kind of you to show Megan that kind of understanding in the face of what?

[Lizzie]

I mean, listen, I think. I think. Are her problems trivial? When you're looking at the grand scheme of things? Yes. Is her emotion inseparable? Maybe. Is her emotional toll from what has gone down in her life valid? Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah. No, she. Everything she says is a PR response.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

There was a viral clip going around of her on Instagram where they were like, what do you and Harry watch after you put the kids to bed? She's like, God, like, what do we watch? Gosh, you know, there's so many things to watch online right now. And I, you know, what are we watching? We put the babies to bed and then it's like, well, what are we.

[Lizzie]

Putting their babies to bed?

[Morgan]

No. And then it's like, you know, you have to do all these things around the house. Like, I have to do my skin care and like, that's not doing things around the house. That's doing things for you, you know, and you're just getting everything ready. And then by the time you, like, sit down, you're just. What do you do you just. What do you. What is every. What's a relatable thing that, like, normal people do? We're scrolling. We're scrolling through content. We're, like looking for something to watch. Like, just like endless scrolling until you realize, like, oh, my God, like, there's nothing to watch. So you just. We don't watch anything. We don't watch. We don't watch anything. But, gosh, there is so much good content out there today to watch, I guess. What's an example of that? There's. What's a really popular show right now that normal people watch? Is it. It's that show about the soccer coach, which I'm sure is great. I haven't seen it in.

That was her response to that. It's like, I would love her so much if she just randomly was like, we're watching hardcore DP porn. You know what I mean? Just like, we're into that.

[Lizzie]

Nasty.

[Morgan]

Like just anything real.

[Lizzie]

Anything.

[Morgan]

Anything real. But she has.

[Lizzie]

That's weird that she wants to be a public Persona, but she doesn't want to be authentic.

[Morgan]

She's a full blown influencer, making TV shows about her life, making documentaries about her life house. But she excommunicated her husband from the country. That he was born to rule because she wanted privacy.

[Lizzie]

Yeah. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

All right. What's next?

[Morgan]

Anyways.

[Lizzie]

Anyways.

[Morgan]

Well, we haven't talked about this because it is gnarly.

[Lizzie]

What?

[Morgan]

And I don't want to talk about, like, the gnarliness of it because, like, I feel like a lot of people are more well versed on the topic than you and I are.

Sorry, I'm vomiting in my mouth.

[Lizzie]

I'm curious if this is something I want to be talking about.

[Morgan]

It's the Sean Diddy stuff. The Sean Diddy Combs. Puff Daddy.

[Lizzie]

Yeah, I saw the one video in the hotel, and I just thought, yeah, I can't. I can't follow this.

[Morgan]

No, obviously it's too much for me. And I also can't handle the use of the words freak off.

At all. I can't. I can't. It feels bad in my soul. So I've. I've decided. I've selectively decided blinders around that topic for my own life.

[Lizzie]

Okay, so what's. What has piqued your. What has piqued you enough to bring it here?

[Morgan]

Well, I'm always interested in some petty beef.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

But I wouldn't call this beef petty, considering the topic. 50 Cent Freaking Hates P. Diddy.

[Lizzie]

He's, like, made it his mission to bring it to the. To the world too.

[Morgan]

And now the documentary on Netflix about P. Diddy leading up to his arrest and trial is produced by 50 Cent.

[Lizzie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Also, is it okay if I call him 50? Should I be calling him 50?

[Lizzie]

Probably.

[Morgan]

I don't know. It feels stupid to say 50 Cent when talking about 50 Cent. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[Lizzie]

I don't know. I'll let them decide.

[Morgan]

Side? Oh, no. They were not reading the comments. But doesn't it sound 50? I don't want to say 50.

[Lizzie]

I don't know. What did Chelsea Handler used to do when she was dating him?

[Morgan]

I think she called him Fitty.

[Lizzie]

Okay. I don't know.

[Morgan]

Or maybe she called him.

[Lizzie]

They deleted her show off YouTube. So how am I supposed to know.

[Morgan]

His name might be Curtis or something.

[Lizzie]

It is.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Anyways, they've had beef forever. Forever. And so I thought that this was interesting.

When they got Diddy50 posted. Now it's not Diddy do it. It's Diddy done. They don't come like that unless they got a case.

So I looked up their beef, and as early as 2006, Fitty was dropping diss tracks about Diddy. Their names are so similar.

[Lizzie]

This is like A Drake X. Who's the other one that.

[Morgan]

No.

[Lizzie]

Oh, no. You're the one that took his side. But I'm.

[Morgan]

My brain.

[Lizzie]

You took his side.

[Morgan]

My brain is four times.

[Lizzie]

I'm too small. He was at the Super Bowl.

[Morgan]

I know.

[Lizzie]

Who is it?

[Morgan]

My brain is four times.

[Lizzie]

They hate us right now because I feel like. Oh, Kendrick Lamar.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Lizzie]

You're welcome. Everybody.

[Morgan]

Cut everything else out.

[Lizzie]

Okay. Is this not a topic? Okay, what's the beef?

[Morgan]

Well, Fitty is alleging that Diddy had something to do with the assassination of Biggie Smalls, and he's been saying that for ever. And he's also been saying forever that he's uncomfortable with Diddy's parties. And so, like, him producing this documentary that has very intimate footage of. Of Sean Combs.

[Lizzie]

Is it out?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's on Netflix right now.

[Lizzie]

You watched it?

[Morgan]

No, I haven't watched it, but I, like, kind of really want to. It's just. Do I want to know all this stuff? Like, can I handle knowing this stuff right now?

[Lizzie]

We're gonna have to watch it and then come back to recap.

[Morgan]

I know, but, like, is it gonna make me want to scream, cry? Like, I don't know that. I don't know if I can handle that kind of abuse, that kind of human abuse right now. But their feud goes back and back and back, and he's always been very uncomfortable about Diddy, and Diddy's also done, like, some weird stuff publicly where he was, like, on a radio show, and, like, they're like, so Fitty doesn't like you? And he's like, no, we're cool. We're cool. We're friends and food. He's like, we are not cool. We are not friends. You make me uncomfortable, and I think you killed my friend. And he's like, whatever. And it's like, no, not whatever, but it's like, the more that you peel back the layers on this character, you're like. Like, this is a really bad man. So. Yep, that was the one I brought to the table. They've also got a vodka war because they.

[Lizzie]

Oh, both have their vodka.

[Morgan]

Pity.

Diddy had his thing, and 50 had his thing, and they used to throw shade back and forth about that. No. Puffy juice. That was the hashtag that he used for that. That.

[Lizzie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lizzie]

Okay. All right. Well, you weren't in the food segment this week. What was it? It was.

[Morgan]

Don't say crumble. I'll kill you.

[Lizzie]

No.

[Morgan]

Okay. We.

[Lizzie]

Shane saw that there was a Teddy Graham secret menu latte At Starbucks. And then I tried the Starbucks exclusive, Peppermint hot chocolate Frappuccino.

[Spencer]

What?

[Lizzie]

And then I got a. And then I was at Target, so.

[Morgan]

I thought, you're like. And then I got a boner.

[Lizzie]

And.

That hot chocolate peppermint Frappuccino just really got me going rock hard. And then I got a bunch of festive treats from Target and surprised Shane with a gift.

[Morgan]

What did you get?

[Lizzie]

Oh, I can't tell you because they're about to experience it. They're about to experience it real time.

[Shane]

I'm so excited.

[Lizzie]

Okay, so Shane had texted me that there was a secret menu item at Starbucks that is a Teddy Graham's Frappuccino. And I was at Target getting Shane a Christmas gift, which honestly, I'm just gonna give him now because it's like, stop, I can't wait. And there were Karens lined up for this gift, fighting with the manager at the display. Stop, stop. And you know what I thought, I'm just, I can't do this. I can't add to this. I can't be one of these Karens that are screaming at the manager saying like, it said there were six of them online in store. Where are they?

[Shane]

You're freaking me out.

[Lizzie]

What is. And so I thought, I'm gonna give up. And I'm walking through the store. Okay, Good karma hits me. Somebody was carrying one in their basket and obviously just put it on the shelf. I found what I was looking for.

[Shane]

Wait, you stole someone's.

[Lizzie]

Hold on. No, no. Like somebody grabbed it when it was like on display. Okay. Had it in their shopping cart. And then like while they were shopping, must have decided they didn't want it anymore and just put it on a random shelf.

[Shane]

Oh, okay.

[Lizzie]

And I was like, that is on Good karma. I was like, you want to open it now?

[Shane]

Kind of.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Shane]

What is it?

[Lizzie]

I was going to save it for Christmas because it's kind of iconic. Sweet. Really? But you might as well. We're on the young once.

Pull her out, babes.

Oh, no.

[Shane]

Oh my God. It's a Diet Coke.

[Lizzie]

Oh, I know it's not a Stanley. Oh my. But maybe it doesn't have the lead in the bottom.

[Shane]

It's the new Stanley.

[Lizzie]

Oh, there's one more thing in there.

[Shane]

Really?

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Come on.

[Shane]

Spencer's gonna gag at my.

[Lizzie]

Oh, wah wah wah. It's not as big as your Stanley though, which could be a problem for you.

[Shane]

No, it's for coffee.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Lizzie]

In the morning you dump your Starbucks in it.

Because you did ask me to bring something today and I forgot my lip gloss. Yeah.

[Shane]

Oh. Oh. Spencer, I don't know if you're aware that I'm a part of the Awalawa walla.

[Lizzie]

Does he look different now?

[Spencer]

Welcome to the club.

[Lizzie]

The awa walla is yours. An awa wawawa walla.

[Spencer]

You know that like teal one I have?

[Lizzie]

That's awa. Woah wo. Yeah. We're in the Awalawa Scudon and spins.

[Spencer]

Oh my God.

[Lizzie]

Wait.

[Spencer]

That's actually really cool.

[Shane]

I know.

[Lizzie]

I had to fight Karen's at Target for it. It dropped last night. Dropped last night. Got my hands on it. What is it? What are we doing? What is it?

[Shane]

This is the set.

[Spencer]

Oh, hey.

[Lizzie]

Lizzy's kid potentially now has hfmd, so she's nowhere to be found.

[Spencer]

We're abbreviating it.

[Shane]

Make it seem less crazy.

[Spencer]

That's crazy.

[Shane]

This is so cute.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Shane]

I can hang it for my.

[Lizzie]

Well.

[Shane]

I think. Can I.

[Lizzie]

Is there a place to hang? Wow. Or your keys? I think there's a screw on the bottom.

[Shane]

Oh, it's like a butt plug.

[Lizzie]

Oh, it's Diet Coke flavored. That's crazy.

[Shane]

Oh. Oh, soft.

[Lizzie]

Let me see.

[Spencer]

Too soft?

[Shane]

No, I like it. Oh, it smells like Diet Coke.

[Morgan]

Mmm.

[Shane]

I love it.

[Lizzie]

I was gonna say never too soft, but I guess it could be too soft.

[Shane]

Oh, I love it.

[Lizzie]

That would be a problem for sure. Mm. Oh, that's nice.

[Spencer]

Lip smacker.

[Lizzie]

If you don't like it. I do.

[Spencer]

Love.

[Lizzie]

Okay. So Shane had told me that there is a Teddy Graham secret menu drink at Starbucks. He sent it to me just like for fun and was like drooling and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna get that. And I thought, well, were you not sending me drooling emojis?

[Spencer]

I thought you meant he was actually drooling.

[Lizzie]

I think he sent me like the X out emoji.

[Shane]

No, the emoji. That's like shaking.

[Lizzie]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Shook yeah.

[Lizzie]

And so I was gonna get Teddy Graham's to top it. To top it. But Teddy Grahams are a hot commodity I guess because they were completely sold out. They were completely sold out at Target. So I had to get the organic Annie's version.

[Shane]

Huh. And neither of those are Teddy Graham like because that's birthday cake.

[Lizzie]

I was looking forever and then I finally found Teddy Graham's empty shelf. Wow. So I don't know if if it's the Starbucks secret menu item drink or if they're just that in demand.

[Spencer]

Haven't had a Teddy Graham. I couldn't tell you the last time.

[Lizzie]

I had a Teddy Graham. I also got us holiday flavored treats. Pop tarts, hot cocoa, marshmallow and hot cocoa. Oh wow. And the festive Oreo of the season. White chocolate covered. And then this was a Starbucks exclusive Starbucks drink. It's a peppermint hot chocolate Frappuccino.

[Spencer]

Okay, that sounds like I would like that.

[Shane]

Oh really?

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

I don't.

[Lizzie]

Should we start with what we might not what we might like first?

[Shane]

I guess.

[Lizzie]

Okay.

[Shane]

Spencer, this is a shaken espresso and I feel like that's probably worst case scenario.

[Lizzie]

Yeah. What time of day is it? I'm not. Are we allowed?

[Spencer]

We have to wake up early tomorrow too, so. Oh my God. I saw the schedule. I was like, oh my God.

[Lizzie]

Are we allowed to share with you? Spencer, not to be mean.

[Spencer]

What do you mean by that? We shared drinks.

[Lizzie]

No, no. Weren't you just. Oh yeah, but I'm not.

[Spencer]

I'm not.

[Lizzie]

Okay. I don't know anything about. Okay. Shingles reveal that this is coming out.

[Shane]

Show your shingles. Shingle bells.

[Lizzie]

My scars.

[Spencer]

Oh yeah.

[Lizzie]

Oh, that is crazy. That's crazy.

[Shane]

Can I mix this?

[Lizzie]

That's crazy.

[Spencer]

Like crazy good.

[Lizzie]

Yes.

[Shane]

Oh, I can.

[Lizzie]

Do you like peppermint?

[Shane]

I could smell it.

[Morgan]

1.

[Lizzie]

Oh, that's so good. Oh my God.

[Spencer]

Oh my God. That's actually so good. I would drink. Oh wow.

[Shane]

Really?

[Lizzie]

Well you wouldn't.

[Spencer]

You would not like that.

[Shane]

I'd hate it.

[Lizzie]

It's very minty. I need to try it. I do need some more of this.

[Morgan]

That's right.

[Spencer]

I'm not supposed to like it every time.

[Lizzie]

Whatever.

[Spencer]

Okay. Got to. Every single taste we've ever done.

[Shane]

Tastes like coffee. I'm so pissed.

[Lizzie]

Wait, what do you mean?

[Shane]

You're my shook emojis. I. I really was shook.

[Lizzie]

You're still.

[Shane]

I'm still shaking.

[Spencer]

Well, no, no, you're just still. You're not.

[Lizzie]

Oh, I'm still. Yeah. So this one Is. Oh, you're not. You're not into this one.

[Spencer]

Which. That's the Teddy Graham one?

[Lizzie]

Yes.

[Spencer]

What makes it Teddy Graham?

[Lizzie]

Let me tell you. Thanks for asking.

[Shane]

Oh my God, you guys are fucking. That was a Christmas prank.

[Lizzie]

So this holiday prank, the Teddy Graham's is an ice. Brown sugar, shaken espresso, vanilla sweet cream, cold foam, one pump of honey.

[Shane]

Is the whipped cream cinnamon powder just normal?

[Lizzie]

Did you get some of everything?

[Shane]

Oh, the mint has traveled through the whipped cream.

[Lizzie]

This is incredible too. What's wrong with you?

[Shane]

Well, I didn't try. I didn't try that soft top. I tried the. I got to the bottom of things.

[Lizzie]

Do you. You don't like coffee?

[Spencer]

I don't like coffee.

[Shane]

It just tastes like.

[Lizzie]

Oh, I.

[Shane]

Hold on, let me.

[Lizzie]

I really like it.

[Spencer]

It's not very Teddy Grammy. I'll say.

[Lizzie]

Say it needs more like.

[Spencer]

It needs like Graham cracker.

[Shane]

Oh, it's grandma's breath.

[Lizzie]

I. Yeah.

[Spencer]

That is what. It tastes like coffee breath.

[Shane]

Oh my God, it does. It tastes like uncle's kisses. Or like.

[Spencer]

That sounds like something you shouldn't have experienced.

[Shane]

I don't like cheek kisses.

[Lizzie]

Okay. Yeah, okay.

[Spencer]

I was gonna say uncle's kisses is a dangerous slippery.

[Shane]

That's like a perfume, bro.

[Spencer]

Or a charge.

[Shane]

Mary unkness. Did you know unk means uncool, not uncle?

[Spencer]

Oh really? I thought it was like, but it doesn't. I thought it just means you're old because you're un.

[Shane]

Well, I guess because you're uncool.

[Lizzie]

I think if you want a coffee forward drink, this is it.

[Shane]

I've moved on.

[Lizzie]

I love it.

[Shane]

I need something better.

[Lizzie]

Okay. Yeah. Well, how about a marshmallow? Hot cocoa marshmallow.

[Spencer]

Doesn't this feel like there's like. This is just the s' mores one. But they're like rebranding it.

[Lizzie]

Oh no, they just had extra and.

[Spencer]

Put it in a different box. We put it in a different box. S' mores is marshmallow and chocolate. They already do this.

[Lizzie]

I just learned this about Shane, that he doesn't like marshmallow.

[Shane]

Like freeze dried. Like you know, lucky charm. Yeah, the crunchy one. I do not like big marshmallow.

[Spencer]

Like the texture or the flavor.

[Shane]

The texture.

[Lizzie]

Oh my gosh, that is cute. They've printed. They've printed things on here.

[Shane]

But I like a real s'. More. I like a heated marshmallow on a fire.

[Spencer]

I didn't even know they could do this.

[Lizzie]

I've never seen pop tarts.

[Shane]

I bet there's no chemicals Involved in that.

[Spencer]

Yeah, this looks all natural. A blue hand.

[Lizzie]

What is this Erewhong? Is it a Mandela effect, or is there less filling than there used to be?

[Spencer]

Oh, look, I have, like a. There's like. It's just empty.

[Shane]

None.

[Lizzie]

I feel like pop tart juice is still. Yeah, I got a whole.

[Shane]

No filling.

[Spencer]

Yeah. This is so thin. Have you seen that Jersey Mike's got? Bought by some, like, company something. And now they're like. Sandwiches are, like, half the size.

[Lizzie]

Oh, no.

[Spencer]

Yeah, everyone's pissed.

[Shane]

Save it for the conspiracy theory.

[Lizzie]

Yeah. You guys.

[Shane]

Jersey Mike's theory.

[Lizzie]

The flavor isn't bad, but there's no filling.

[Shane]

There's anything good?

[Lizzie]

There's.

[Shane]

Those Oreos look good. I'm gonna give it to them.

[Lizzie]

Well, these are dunked in chocolate.

[Shane]

Imagine this Oreo collabing with Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes.

[Lizzie]

Whoa.

[Spencer]

You know what I realized the other day? You love this.

[Lizzie]

I've never had one of those cakes. Oh, grab one right there, Spencer. I know.

[Spencer]

I was reading the podcast email, and everyone's like.

[Lizzie]

And I was like, I don't think I've ever had that. Shane's a fraud, though.

[Shane]

Because I will say this. They're not. They're. I. They're nostalgic and whatever, but it's like.

[Spencer]

What you used to.

[Shane]

They're not great.

[Lizzie]

He's made it. His personality, but he doesn't like them. They're very. Aesthetically.

[Shane]

I love the aesthetic I would get. If I got a tattoo, I would get one.

[Spencer]

That would actually be a good tattoo.

[Lizzie]

Oh, I should have went to Walmart too. Have you seen the.

[Spencer]

Like, I was just at Walmart.

[Shane]

Yeah, I sent you a picture of that.

[Lizzie]

And you didn't see them and didn't think to get one for us?

[Shane]

Big one. It's like a light up once.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Oh, yeah. Everyone's sending that in.

[Lizzie]

How did he not think to get that at Walmart? Ew.

[Spencer]

Actually, this is really good.

[Shane]

Right?

[Morgan]

I love this.

[Shane]

My friend said it wasn't.

[Lizzie]

No, no.

[Spencer]

I love Little Debbie.

[Shane]

This tastes like baby powder. The ones from their website. The Oreo website are insane.

[Lizzie]

They're so good. The ones you can customize with like.

[Shane]

These tastes like baby powder or deodorant.

[Lizzie]

Oh, the white.

[Spencer]

I'm feeling a little off about this.

[Lizzie]

The white chocolate is a little funky.

[Spencer]

White fudge cover. It's, like, kind of sour.

[Shane]

It tastes like soap. It feels like it has the mouth feel of soap.

[Lizzie]

I'd eat it, though.

[Spencer]

Well, you love Oreos.

[Lizzie]

Mm. Like, there's no world in Which I wouldn't eat it.

[Spencer]

You're eating it.

[Shane]

Yeah. We're in that world, babe.

[Lizzie]

I don't know. I got these for Shane because he likes birthday cake. Everything. They're birthday cake drizzle, rice, oats, rice bites. The chewing isn't gonna be great, but rice cakes. Oh, they're small.

[Shane]

Oh, okay.

[Lizzie]

They're tiny.

[Spencer]

It looks like they look really weird. What a letdown of, like, a what it looks on the packaging.

[Shane]

Seriously?

[Morgan]

What?

[Shane]

Show the side by side of this.

[Lizzie]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

This is such a false advertising.

[Shane]

What?

[Lizzie]

Okay. Three, two, Throw her in.

[Spencer]

What's the point of that?

[Shane]

Where'd it go?

[Spencer]

What is the point of that?

[Shane]

It just dissolved.

[Lizzie]

I kind of like it.

[Shane]

Okay, I will say this.

[Spencer]

You can feel it used when shopping for yourself.

[Lizzie]

It says only 90 calories. And then it says per two pieces. That's for 21 pieces. Oh, they made that one look like a. Yeah, go crazy.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lizzie]

That is pretty good. How much sugar, though, for that?

[Spencer]

Is it Real Sugar?

[Lizzie]

7 grams of sugar with 7 added grams of sugar.

[Shane]

It's not bad, but I wouldn't reach for that. I would rather just have a little Debbie's cake.

[Lizzie]

It's like drizzled popcorn.

[Spencer]

It's very, like, office snack energy.

[Lizzie]

Right. Midday pick me up.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Well, I like the snacks I chose. Probably because I chose them.

[Shane]

Wait, was that it?

[Spencer]

Well, no, we still have the.

[Lizzie]

Well, this was for, like, the frappuccinos, but we could see how they stack up to our memory of Teddy's.

[Shane]

Well, I don't have any memories of Annie's.

[Lizzie]

Annie's.

[Shane]

Thank God.

[Lizzie]

Do you?

[Spencer]

I just remember going to people's houses and they have, like, instead of cheez its, they have, like, bunny cheddar. And it's like, it's not as good. I feel like you guys are low key. Kind of that house. Rylan gets like, Justin's chocolate.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

And it's like, I try. I try. And then Shane derails it.

[Spencer]

Like, you need a little bit of balance sometimes.

[Lizzie]

If the boys aren't, like, into their chicken or something, Shane's like, give them a ranch with it. And I'm like, oh, God, ranch isn't that bad.

[Shane]

And ma, they both dip. They know how to dip chicken fingers in ranch. Like, it's crazy.

[Spencer]

It's in their blood.

[Lizzie]

They were going nuts with chicken and hummus today. Just like using the chicken as a hummus vehicle just.

[Spencer]

Are good.

[Morgan]

Can I try this?

[Lizzie]

Yeah, these are good.

[Spencer]

Chocolate ones are.

[Shane]

These are fine.

[Lizzie]

These are still. The chocolate ones are still they're still. Yeah, but those ones are. These are good.

[Shane]

Oh, my God, that's Annie. There's a picture of Annie on the back. She's, like, weeding.

[Spencer]

It's a terrible picture.

It looks like a, like, FBI photo of her.

[Lizzie]

Okay, so were pop Tarts. Did they used to be more stuffed and they got cheap? Or is my memory just off cuz I was a child?

[Shane]

Is this now called a Mandela effect podcast? I mean, exposing. Wait, Investigating Christmas Mandela effects.

[Spencer]

Reverse engineer that video.

[Shane]

Mm.

[Lizzie]

Okay. I like the Oreo. Sue me.

[Shane]

Good. I'm happy that you do. I want you.

[Spencer]

My favorite was these cakes that were already here.

[Morgan]

Oh, wow.

[Lizzie]

And we have a lot of them, so.

[Spencer]

Yeah, it's probably not good for me to eat that.

[Shane]

Yeah, we have a lot of them, I guess.

[Lizzie]

Oh, wow. So you like your awa wawawa?

[Shane]

I love my awa wawa. You're just getting to where you're all over the place.

[Morgan]

Sorry.

[Lizzie]

I'll clean it up.

[Shane]

Okay, so what is this? Because we filmed some of this situation yesterday, and then you said, it's a flop. I need to refilm it. And I was like, wow.

[Lizzie]

Well, it's like too much of me doing nothing. It's like I have an hour and 14 minutes of you doing what? I went to the beach alone.

[Spencer]

You did a Spencer vlog.

[Lizzie]

I sat on the floor and talked about, like, my morning routine and meditate. It's like a snore fest.

[Shane]

Oh, don't say that about yourself, Patreon.

[Spencer]

That's coming soon.

[Shane]

No, just you.

[Morgan]

You.

[Shane]

You have to pay for that.

[Lizzie]

All right, you guys. Well.

No, she keeps saying, like, Billy has hand, foot, and mouth, but he has, like, one sore that, like, probably isn't. And he's fine. He has, like, energy and he's eating and he doesn't seem.

[Shane]

If he had it, he would have more than.

[Lizzie]

That's what I keep telling her. And she's like, well, I don't know. I mean, I'd rather her.

[Spencer]

I know he's a doctor.

[Lizzie]

Maybe she just didn't want to work this week.

[Shane]

Oh, my God. Her and Chris are. What's the word? Where they're trying to ruin our lives.

Commiserating.

[Lizzie]

Our. Yeah, yeah. Chris.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Lizzie]

Yeah. All right, well. And that's the sim.

[Shane]

Oh, it's over.

[Spencer]

That was crazy.

[Shane]

Is this the thumbnail or did you have a thumbnail?

[Lizzie]

The thumbnail was gonna be me alone. Like. Like, finally the truth. Like, something. Okay, everybody get in. Wearing a hat this time.
