Nicole
Okay, it's Happy Friday. Super swirly. It's not super swirly.
Andrea
Well, it actually is because you're always yelling at me with like. And by always I mean that one time for cursing. Because it's a family friendly show and people listen in the car with their kids and so. Yeah, Murasuka.

Nicole
I'm going to. I told you, I'm traveling and so I'm going to watch it on the plane. Even though, like I'm totally going to sleep on the plane. But sure, yeah, I'll watch it. I have every intention to like, you don't. And I wouldn't. Last night. What did I do last night? Co slept. Oh, it took a long time to get those two to bed.
Andrea
You know what I did last night that I actually want to do with you? One night?
Nicole
Co slept.
Andrea
In the future, when you're free, I would love to co sleep with you. No, I played mahjong online. But like you video in so you can talk with your friend, not with strangers.
Guest
Sorry.
Nicole
So it was like Saturday night zoom during COVID Yes, exactly.
Andrea
Now the interface is like a little janky. I kept getting like cut out, but we could see and hear each other while also playing mahjong. It was basically like we were in the same room.
Nicole
No, that's a lot. I think that's a lot. I. No, but maybe we could play at night together whenever I see you. Oh, we could play when I see you in person. We could play when I see you this weekend.
Andrea
Right? You keep saying that you're traveling this weekend. I'm like, oh, maybe she's going to Dallas. Like, oh, you're coming to see me.
Nicole
Ready?
Andrea
I've got some shopping to do for the guest room.
Nicole
It's okay. I'm a simple woman. Of course.
Andrea
Just some, you know, simple linen. European linens.
Nicole
Yes. Just some silk sheets.
Andrea
Yes, of course.
Nicole
But don't worry. I'm sure you're all stocked up. I am, I am.
Andrea
I'm so excited to be hosting my first guest.
Nicole
Yeah, I'm excited. I haven't seen your new place.
Andrea
That's the weird thing is that, like, you haven't asked me yet, but I know you're gonna ask me for my address, which is just crazy.
Nicole
I asked you for your address the other day, did I not? Don't you feel like I did?
Andrea
Maybe. But, like, it's just weird that, like, I've literally lived in your home. You've never been to mine.
Nicole
I did ask for your address for Glam. Cuz I have to give it to you.
Andrea
Got it. So that's why I got it. Got it.
Nicole
So I have it.
Andrea
It's just crazy that, like, you don't know, like, I know that inside and outside of your house. Like, I've slept in every room. You don't know my home at all.
Nicole
I don't know anything about it. Like, you've never even sent a video. You really. Yeah. You don't, like, so weird that you
Andrea
don't know where I live.
Nicole
You don't, like, post a lot of, like, I've not seen a lot of your home.
Andrea
That's so crazy that, like. Do you not think that's weird?
Nicole
No, it is. It's just like, I guess we've been busy, you know?
Andrea
Yeah, of course. That I've literally only lived in this place for less than a year. It's not like it's my real, like, lifelong home, but still, it's so crazy.
Nicole
Yeah. So we'll make that right this weekend.
Andrea
Yeah. We've got our big live show this weekend. What else? Yeah.
Nicole
So it's just sort of a. A big weekend.
Andrea
Sort of.
Nicole
Yeah. Like, especially for me.
Andrea
Because you're traveling. Yeah.
Nicole
Solo.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Which is like, a big thing to do.
Andrea
It is like a big ordeal.
Nicole
Yeah. Especially when you, like, don't travel that much. Some people do, like, travel all the time. No big deal. Quick, quick flight yeah, but like, like Margot, like, if I told her what I'm doing this weekend, she'd be like, oh, yeah, that's just a regular day.
Andrea
Right.
Nicole
But when you don't do it a lot, like, it really is an ordeal. Like the airport. Not the airport. Like, oh, no.
Andrea
Can I tell you a little bit about real house desert island, or no. Because, like, it's going to spoil.
Nicole
I don't want you to influence my feelings about people. And I feel like you can give me, like, one more day of grace, considering I'm like, week three of Copper's Bell Burden. Grace.
Andrea
Okay.
Nicole
You know?
Andrea
Yes. Yeah. And if I don't. If I. If I accept the grace I have to give it as well.
Nicole
If I don't make any inroads this weekend, like, permission for you to talk about it on Monday.
Andrea
Just take off your headphones so I could say a few things.
Nicole
Oh, okay, great. I need to drink my coffee.
Andrea
So I just want to say, like, I was very confused in the beginning because all the ladies look alike and the ones that don't look alike, it's easier to sort of have opinions on them. So Kelsey was, like, my favorite, mostly because she was so pretty. And now with the perspective of hindsight, and by the way, I got up to the episode where they're at the Polo, which is so crazy. This Brian thing, him coming back without his ring, it's. It's literally historic. I've never seen anything so crazy happen on reality TV in my entire life. And, like, Rula, like, you just want to smack her. Like, she's so silly. Back to Kelsey. She was, like, one of my early favorites, cuz, like, she was really open about the fact that she had this weird lifestyle and she was so pretty. But I realized that it was just, like, the pretty privilege talking. She's literally the worst. And now, of course, like, things are coming out that her and that guy haven't been together for, like, over a year. He just let her use the house to film. She's, like, launching her career. Like, the whole Rosie Instagram thing, I was like, okay, you've officially lost me now. She's, like, really coming hard for Rosie. And I didn't even like Rosie because she is annoying, but I feel bad for her. Like, Kelsey's, like, kind of obsessed with Rosie. Everyone, like, also lives for Alicia, and I'm sorry, I kind of don't. Rosie kind of ate her up at the bonfire. I lived for it. I don't, like, die for Alicia. And everybody does act weird around Liz. Like, Liz is the richest. Liz is obviously, like, the grand dom, if you will. And so everybody, like, acting weird around her. Walking on eggshells. I hate that. And Alicia is kind of a big loser, I just want to say. But I love Liz. Who are the others? Okay. I feel like that's good. I have to get Jackie's attention. Like, hi, Jackie. Yes, miss. Yeah, hi. Yeah, yeah. Join us. Oh, wait, wait. Sorry. Put it back. Sorry. I can't believe I forgot to talk about my queen, Jo Ellen. Like, I literally die for it. I'm sorry. Nobody wants to be that person, but shows like this require people like Joellen, like, the bone carriers, the people who bring to the table what's actually going on. And so I actually think she's doing it in the nicest way possible. I don't know why everybody's like, joellen's mean. Joellen's mean. She even says that about herself. She, like, oh, I'm so mean. She's really not, like, sorry. She's just doing what needs to be done. She's my queen. I love Joe. Ellen, go. We're good.
Nicole
Okay. There we go.
Andrea
So, yeah, that's that on that. I'm still not even. I don't know how many episodes there are, but I believe I'm like, episode six. Ben's loving it.
Nicole
Oh, good, good. While I was on my phone, Sam sent a picture from, like, when we took that trip to Nashville. I guess that was, like, four years ago today. Five years ago. Five. Is that five years ago?
Andrea
Oh, my God. We're so cute.
Nicole
We're literally so cute. We took a girls trip to Nashville and, like, almost like a bachelor party, but. Oh, and also with Lauren Elizabeth and her friends.
Andrea
Lauren Elizabeth and her Chicago friends. What was the event? Just, like, a trip.
Nicole
It's just a trip. I don't think.
Andrea
We didn't go for, like, a concert or anything.
Nicole
No, it was just a girls trip that just kept getting bigger, and we had so much fun.
Andrea
We should do that again.
Nicole
Yeah, we should. You know where I was thinking I want to go? You know where I want to go? Like, where I'm having, like, an itch to travel.
Andrea
Canyon Ranch.
Nicole
No, of course. No, always. And I think I've said this before recently, but it came up again because I saw something on my feed. Charleston.
Andrea
Oh, sure.
Nicole
Yeah, we should go. And, like, Shannon's there a lot.
Andrea
Speaking of Charleston, I texted Craig Conover yesterday.
Nicole
It was a video of his that made me want to go. A video of the food at his
Andrea
restaurant, by the way. Charleston. Yeah. I texted him, you should date Kelsey Ballerini, and he quite literally left me on red, which makes me think, like, he always answers my text. We talk all the time. Like, it's not weird that I texted him. And the fact that, like, Craig would never leave me on read, so I feel like it makes me think, like, maybe there's something going on.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
And he can't put it in writing.
Nicole
And I'm sure it was, like, kind of a complicated day for him because, like, he did see the pictures of her with her ex, and it's like, of course, the sort of thing that got him in his feelings, and he was ready to be done, but she was like, no, it's not what you think. Like, it was more of, like, a closure walk.
Andrea
Absolutely. And that's why he didn't answer me. He was, like, so busy. Yeah.
Nicole
He's, like, sorting out his feelings because he's like, am I still dating Kelsey Ballerini? I don't know. Should I believe her? That it was a closure walk.
Andrea
Right. Maybe I hit the. Like, what's it. What are you. What's the phrase? Did I. No, no, not hit the nail on the head? Did I pinch a nerve? Did I touch it? Touch a nerve? Hit a nerve. Did I. Oh, speaking of nerves, can't believe I got salivary on my mobility issue update. As predicted, I went to the hand doctor, and they were like, yeah, you need an emg. I'm like, yeah, I know. I'm here for the emg. So now I have to go to another doctor in, like, two weeks. But basically, it's kind of a big deal. So the tendon in my thumb is intact, but it's not moving. You know, when you move your thumb but it's not filming, like, literally move your thumb up and down. You see that, like, vein thing that pops out? That's your tendon.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
Mine doesn't move, so the nerve is restricting it.
Nicole
Show me how much you can move your thumb.
Andrea
Okay. This is my good thumb.
Nicole
Not your good one, your other one. Pick it up higher.
Andrea
I can't.
Nicole
You really can.
Andrea
I really can't. And now he did, like, a test on all my fingers. My index finger is, like, starting to give out too.
Nicole
It's compromised.
Andrea
Yeah, like. Like, he did this test where, like, he's like, fight me back. Fight me back. And I literally couldn't. You see? I can't. But you can fight back all the other fingers. So basically what he said is that, like, something is compressing on my nerves. Like, because the tendon is intact, but the nerve is not sending the signal. He said it could be like a mass or something like that's pushing on the nerve. Yeah. And he was like, it could be in your elbow, it could be in your shoulder. So an EMG will tell you, like, where the blockage is coming from and wherever the blockage is coming from. Like, I'll most likely have to get surgery. It's really a big deal. I've been talking to people about this. Like, so whatever he said on the left thumb, he said, first of all, it could continue to, like, take other fingers and the likelihood that I get movement back is like, zero.
Nicole
Without doing something.
Andrea
No, no. Even with surgery, it's just so that it won't get worse. Like, this is so crazy. I literally am like disabled and I don't even talk. Like, I. First of all, I need a placard. Like, I need a placard for the car. I never even talk about it. Like, I'm such a soldier. Like, I'm so strong. It's a really crazy situation.
Nicole
It is a crazy situation. I'm sorry that I didn't understand the severity.
Andrea
And I told you I dropped Levi. Like, it's only a matter of time before something worse happens.
Nicole
Okay, so go get your emg. I know.
Andrea
And it's like, I hate to abuse my platform, but can somebody, like, just get me in for an EMG? I have to wait till like, June 10th. Are you serious? Like, just EMG me. Like, I have a prescription for. Just give me an emg. Like, it's really annoying like that. I like, the healthcare system is so broken. It's three appointments that I still haven't had an emg. Like, just give me the test. Everybody agrees that this is the test.
Nicole
Well, the healthcare system is really broken.
Andrea
I know. I've been watching so much the Pit. Like, yeah, I actually haven't.
Nicole
Yeah, I haven't finished. It's really someone wing. It's really crazy. But also just like, book June 10th. It would be here before you know it. And like, so often I'm like, oh, I don't want to do that. It's so far away. And then it's like, oh, I didn't book it because it was far away and I didn't do anything in between. And now I don't even have.
Andrea
Of course, of course. No, I have the date. But it's like, if somebody like in a high place with an EMG machine can just like, help me out.
Nicole
If someone has an at home emg
Andrea
yeah, like a lot of influencers, like, want to go to Paris, like, I just want an emg. Okay. I'm abusing my platform. I'll do like a sponsored post, like,
Nicole
let's go twice this week that you're abusing your platform.
Andrea
Oh, what was the first?
Nicole
Nicari Tarta.
Andrea
The hotel. Yeah. I didn't feel like I abused my platform actually at all. I was, I was speaking my truth.
Nicole
You didn't abuse your platform. You used it though. Which, like we don't really.
Andrea
No, I didn't. I didn't use my platform.
Nicole
You used your platform to get.
Andrea
I just told the story.
Nicole
No, no, but then we like named them.
Andrea
Thankfully. Thankfully. They gave me a refund.
Nicole
No, and I'm glad that you did, but like, you know, that's. You use your platform to get the refund.
Andrea
Yeah, I just was reading about this case in Rhode island about grandparents rights. Do you know the story?
Nicole
No.
Andrea
Such a crazy story. Okay, so this guy in Rhode island was suing his like former in laws. Basically him and his wife, beautiful young girl, she gets breast cancer, she goes into remission, they live a healthy, happy life. They get married, they have a baby via surrogate, beautiful little daughter named Layla. Then all of a sudden, the wife starts not feeling so good again. Her parents are both doctors. So her parents are like, you're fine. You're going through Prozac withdrawal. Like they're like gaslighting her. They're like, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine. She then consults like secretly another doctor. She feels bad going against her parents back. She talks to her friend's dad, who's also a doctor, and he's like, you need to go to the emergency room immediately. She goes to the emergency room, she has emergency brain surgery. She had a 4 centimeter brain tumor, gets out of surgery in a coma, dies 11 days later. Terrible, terrible story. Now the husband says during the 11 days, the day actually that she died, he comes into the hospital room and her parents have Layla on the floor pinned to the ground, giving her a shot of prednisone. She dies that day. The daughter.
Nicole
No.
Andrea
Oh, sorry, did I say Layla? Yeah, sorry, I'm getting names, confused. The woman. Sorry, the woman.
Nicole
Okay, the mom.
Andrea
Okay, this whole story is about the mom.
Nicole
Sorry, but it's the grandparents rights. Hold on, hold on. Okay, so, so before she passed away in the coma.
Andrea
Yeah, she's in a coma. And the day she dies, the husband says that he walked into the room and they have the wife pinned to the ground shooting.
Nicole
Why do they have to pin her to the ground?
Andrea
I don't know if she's in a coma. I have no idea.
Nicole
Like, she would just be, like, in the bed.
Andrea
Right. They did say that. That they were on the ground, and she dies that day.
Nicole
What's prednisone?
Andrea
I don't know.
Nicole
Okay. Steroid.
Andrea
Yeah, steroid. Yeah, I've taken it. So she passes away, and the husband, just like he says, you know what? I don't want you guys seeing the daughter anymore. So they start suing the husband for grandparents rights, which is not a thing, by the way. At first the judge allows them supervised visits, but then, like, some things happen, and the husband's like, you know what? Never mind. Like, he literally refuses. Like, you can't be with the daughter. With the daughter. Then they release this recording, yada, yada. He wins, by the way. These people are, like, the most weird. And they shut down their medical practice the day she died. The whole thing is really weird. But I was just like, grand's friends rights, you know?
Nicole
Oh, so what's the point?
Andrea
He won.
Nicole
Good.
Andrea
And so we did like, this big special with abc.
Nicole
Grandparents don't have rights.
Andrea
No, they never did.
Nicole
They don't have custodial rights. Like, those are. Are earned, not given.
Andrea
Yeah, no, no, they're not, like, inherent. Like a parent has rights no matter what you do. How terrible. Grandparents, like, sorry. You actually don't have rights. It's a crazy story.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
That is setting legal precedent as well.
Nicole
That is crazy.
Andrea
Yeah. I hadn't heard about it.
Nicole
Yeah. It sounds like the. The. The medical stuff is crazier than the grandparents. I know.
Andrea
And so they. And so, like, you're so crazy.
Nicole
That's like when you dump, like, a criminal deer toasters on me, and then
Andrea
you're like, I know. Sorry, sorry.
Nicole
So what's next?
Andrea
But that's literally, like, the essence of the Internet. You just, like, scroll and you read this insanely dark, disgusting story, and then it's like, come get ready with me to go to the Kentucky Derby.
Nicole
Yeah, no, it's a lot. It's a lot to us.
Andrea
I know, I know. And they were never held. Criminally negligible. Negligible. And he was like, oh, I didn't know I couldn't administer this prednisone child. I'm her registered pediatrician because, like, he's her dad. The whole thing was really weird.
Nicole
Okay.
Andrea
Yeah. Drama. Lots of drama in Rhode Island.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
Oh, you know, I haven't gotten there yet, but they're Taking the first cast trip and they're going to one of the Rhode island, like, Newport mansions.
Nicole
Oh, local.
Andrea
Yeah, local. It's a date. It's like a staycation day trip. Yeah. It's a low budget. You know, as a first season franchise, like, you have to earn the rights to an international trip.
Nicole
Oh, for sure. But you could go, like, you could leave your state.
Andrea
Yeah. You can always tell how well a franchise is doing based on the budget of their trips. Like, when the OC Was in, like, really dark time, they were going to, like, the Florida Keys. I heard that, like, the real houses of New York this season can't even afford a trip. Like, seriously. I think they're going to the Catskills, so I think it's always reflective of, like, how well a show is performing based on where they go.
Nicole
Miami. Miami also went to the Florida Keys, but that's their, like, local trip. You know, they always do too. They always do too. They do like a close to home one and then a larger trip.
Andrea
So right now we're on the close to home trip in Newport, which is Newport. And I don't know if they get a second trip, but if you ever want to know, like, you know, the health of a franchise, check out their trips. Like the O.C. housewives. When, like, in their golden years, they went to Dublin, you know, those were. That's when they were performers. Kelly Dodd.
Nicole
Golden years in Dublin.
Andrea
This isn't my plate.
Nicole
Yeah. But Beverly Hills, that was also Brooks cancer. I think Beverly Hills will always get great trips, even though. Even if they.
Andrea
Yeah, because they'll pay for them themselves.
Nicole
And like. Okay, so we won't do your show. So we won't do your stupid show.
Andrea
Of course. But also a lot of the times, like, it's a friend's castle or Sutton's plane. Remember when Erica took everyone on her plane? So a lot of the times it actually has nothing to even do with
Nicole
and like,
Andrea
Merson Purse. Jennifer Tilly.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Okay. Do you want to get into stories? They're like. They're like odd. Odd stories, I would say.
Andrea
Random couple of oddities.
Nicole
Yeah, there are a couple of oddities. I love that, but I think we could get into it.
Andrea
Yeah. Oh, and you know what? Today's leading sponsor is kind of perfect for a conversation we were just having about Grandparents rights. Close. About how you want to go to Charleston.

Nicole
Our first story. More rumors about the lured this wedding.
Andrea
Yes.
Nicole
Now, reports are that Taylor Swift is inviting her guests in an unusual way. Sources are saying that she's calling people directly and inviting them to her wedding,
Andrea
which does sound like something like someone dramatic as hell would do, which is so Taylor. But also, you know, there's no paper trail. A picture of the invitation can't get leaked.
Nicole
Yeah, but, yeah, no, I imagine she was like, calling people especially to give them, like, date and place. Like, almost like as a save the date. But to forego an invitation completely, like, that's part of the wedding magic.
Andrea
I. I actually know. I think it's quite smart. Remember when Ramona Singer posted a picture of Teresa Giudice's invitation? So it's like literally all of the information to what, when, where, why, how on one. It's too much.
Nicole
People have, like, assistants and stylists and like, so many people in your space. Yeah. So apparently she's reportedly calling her friends to personally invite them to her and Travis's upcoming summer wedding. She's keeping details tight.
Andrea
Under fact that she called is even getting leaked.
Nicole
Yeah, some calls she's making while her team is handling others. And the guests are being asked to keep their summer schedules flexible.
Andrea
Imagine getting like, your friend gets a call from Taylor and you get a call from her team member. There is a hierarchy.
Nicole
Yeah, but, like, you just better be counting your lucky stars. You were invited.
Andrea
No, of course. And I guess it's like, what, she has to call, like, Travis's cousins.
Nicole
No, Travis can do that. Or Donna or.
Andrea
Or a team.
Nicole
Or Ed. Or a team member. No, like, I'm sure
Andrea
she says it like she's being pretty willy nilly with the invitations. Like, it's not super. I wonder what the policy on plus ones is.
Nicole
They're pulling out so many different conflicting reports. And I think that's a good strategy. We're having a big wedding or a small wedding. We're having Rhode Island. We're having the European. Like, nobody knows.
Andrea
Yeah, I agree. I now think that everything we've heard is, like, a lie. And the idea that they are intentionally putting out rumors is really smart. Yeah, because no one will Know where to look. Even if it's. Even if the date is right. It's like we're looking in Alaska. We're looking in New York. We're looking in Nashville. Meanwhile, they're in Japan, you know, And
Nicole
I want to say I don't think the date is right. Right. And I think that if it's not that July 4th weekend, it will be before. Because if everybody has eyes on July 4th, then we'll miss it.
Andrea
Yeah, yeah.
Nicole
Like, you know, so I think. I think they're doing the right thing not to, like, sorry, I didn't mean
Andrea
to, like, spoil it, but blow up your spot.
Nicole
But you could still pull it off without a hitch because everyone thought it was, like, June 13th or whatever.
Andrea
Right. And given her weird numerology habits, you could actually probably predict her date. So perhaps she's like, you know, foregoing the numerology just for privacy.
Nicole
But I also think, like, you can make meaning out of a lot of different numbers. They have a lot of carry the 1.89,13. The date of their first date. Also didn't. When did she perform at Arrowhead in July.
Andrea
July.
Nicole
So I think we're not gonna know. I hope that. I hope they get away with whatever they're trying to get away with.
Andrea
Me too.
Nicole
And all I ask for are, like, a couple of pictures and videos.
Andrea
Lady Wilson also just got married. Celebrity wedding. I don't know if you saw. It was very elegant. Like, it was a vogue wedding, which you don't really expect just from, like, she's very down home country gal. But it was like, you know, the. The southern aesthetic. People have, like, cowboy hats at their wedding. This is like the new inspo. It was really beautiful.
Nicole
Yeah. I mean, she, like, never takes off a cowboy hat, so.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
It's actually, like, funny to see her without one.
Andrea
Yeah. She walks the walk and she talks. She actually has, like, a functioning farm.
Nicole
Yeah, it was very beautiful.
Andrea
And her man is hot. Like, he's just this random ex NFL player. Like, you know, Colton Underwood energy. I think he played for like 30 seconds, you know.
Nicole
Good.
Andrea
Yeah, I love that.
Nicole
I love that. I remember when they got engaged, we titled the episode 4 by 4 by you forever.
Andrea
Wait. So cute. I think we were probably predicting her hashtag, right?
Nicole
Maybe. But we just, like, kept saying it.
Andrea
Four. Four by four by you. That's her worst song.
Nicole
Forever.
Guest
Forever.
Nicole
That's what we kept saying.
Andrea
Maybe it wasn't their hashtag, but, like, maybe it was referenced in a vow or something.
Nicole
And I just want to say congratulations on Getting engaged and getting married, huge
Andrea
feat for a celebrity.
Nicole
Huge feat. Because either they never get married or they just like break up. It's so rare that they get married.
Andrea
Yeah. Getting engaged as a celebrity is like a means to get press and attention and also like a pretty piece of jewelry. It does not. It almost never equals wedding. A wedding.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
So you're right. Making it to that next step is quite beautiful.
Nicole
Yeah. So congratulations on that.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Yeah. Like Taylor and Travis, they still have to get married.
Andrea
Right. And I do believe, I have faith that they will. Taylor didn't come this far just to come this far.
Nicole
And that she wants to get married.
Andrea
Oh, absolutely. I know. Like, the financials and I would literally love to know, like, their lawyers are working. It's not even a question. Like, they're having the most airtight prenup because she's like, so business, but she's also so romantic and so just like she's literally a 12 year old, like, at heart. Like, all she wants to do is like, get married to her knight in shining armor and it's actually happening. So. Yeah, I do, I do think they'll make it past the finish line, but
Nicole
I also think for the two of them, like, the prenup is very simple. Yeah.
Andrea
Like, we are completely separate entities now and forever.
Nicole
Yeah. And I guess it's like if we buy a house together, how do you.
Andrea
That's marital. Like, that'll be shared even if they
Nicole
didn't put in the same.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
I think that, I think like, at that point, it's like, okay, it's like a couple million dollars that give a billion. It's if you wind up like. And it's like, he has a lot of earning, he has a lot of money, he has a lot of earning potential. I. I feel like.
Andrea
I know, but you think like, oh, when you're so rich, it doesn't matter, but like, nobody cares about their money more than rich people.
Nicole
No, I know. But it's like, so what if you really want to keep everything separate? It's like whoever paid the percent of the money for the house, I think
Andrea
that seriously have to do it that way. But it just makes it hard because, like, you can have all these rules, but the law dictates it. So it's like it actually really depends also where they get married. Because it's like, yeah, we can have this prenup, but the law says that a marital home is marital property. So it's like, we don't really care what your paperwork says.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
So I don't know, the law complicates.
Nicole
Or maybe they just. Okay, so don't buy a house then. If you guys can't figure it out, just say the houses that you have.
Andrea
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Nicole
It's like, but you're building a life, so it's like you can't hold yourself back because it's like, oh, well, what if one day he gets half of this house that I paid 60 for?
Andrea
But yes, being a married wife is like an I I based on my sort of like years long knowledge of Taylor Swift is her number one desire. And I do think it was a leading factor of her breakup with Joe Alwyn. It's also so crazy how different her life is. Like with Joe and Travis. Of course. Like, we shouldn't compare. But like, what a misery. Like, it's like she loves going out. She loves being paparazzi. Like those pictures we see of her walking from the car to the restaurant in New York City. If you ever watch a video of it, she's so walking so slow. She's turning to the right turning. She loves those pictures. Like, she loves being seen. And it's like we never saw her, let alone with him.
Nicole
Yeah. No, it was like we literally had that one clip.
Andrea
Prison. We literally have that one clip of the Reputation dvd. Like, where she runs from a stage and like, he's wearing a hat and we only see him from the back. Like, why was so drama?
Nicole
Yeah, like, it's really like life is meant to be fun.
Andrea
Oh, my God. I know. She must be having so much fun. Like, literally. Fresh out the slammer.
Nicole
Fresh out the slammer. Are you ready for our next story? Actually, the rest of our stories are some relationship news first.
Andrea
Okay.
Nicole
And our first one was too. Love is in the air.
Andrea
Love is in the air.
Nicole
Actually, it's a whole range. First, Dylan Sprouse, Barbara Palvin are expecting their first baby together. They debuted her bump at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday looking partialicious.
Andrea
I'm sorry, I'm really working on not interrupting you during the stories. Like, I know it's one of my biggest pet peeves. And like, I'm sorry.
Nicole
So are you done looking part delicious period.
Andrea
Things that mean a lot to me. This. I'm obsessed with these two. First of all, I don't know if I've ever seen a more beautiful, like, pregnant person. This dress is perfect. The color blue. Do you think she's having a boy? Probably right. Based on the color. The color is so gender reveal.
Nicole
You think so? I don't know. The carpet here is blue. That's just a beautiful color. I'm not so like, it's so beautiful and it's, it's very like baby. Baby general yeah.
Andrea
The silhouette, the cap sleeve, like, she looks radiant. Now, of course, makes a little bit more sense why he was, you know, so quick to defend his home when
Nicole
that intruder and he brought out the big guns up.
Andrea
He grabbed the gun like, there's a baby on board. Of course, three souls in the house. Everything's making sense now. I just love them. Like, I really do. And of course, you can't talk about Barbara Palvin without talking about the time she was the plus size model at the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Like, I will seriously never stop talking about that. When she was like a size 4. Even though she was like the mid
Nicole
size and that's confirmed true that she was plus size.
Andrea
Well, she was considered like, you know. No, she was considered mid size.
Nicole
How do you know that that's how they considered her?
Andrea
Because it was like it was said. You guys know what I'm talking about?
Nicole
Like, no, I don't, but you say it enough that I, that I'm like, I know what you're talking about because you tell me about it.
Andrea
I fudgeing love her. I don't know how they like make their living because I don't believe he works. I worry a lot about like, how they're going to pay for their kids tuition. She's like a successful model, but I don't see her doing a lot.
Nicole
Yeah, no, and it's like, she's a successful model, but that only pays like so much. And then you have to keep doing that over and over again.
Andrea
And like, what does he do?
Nicole
He has a beer company, I think.
Andrea
Oh, okay. He has 8 million followers.
Nicole
So I do monetize 8 million followers.
Andrea
Okay, well, he doesn't because he has nine photos on his Instagram. One of them is the pregnancy announcement and the other eight are like a cartoon sketch.
Nicole
And what about the beer company?
Andrea
I don't know. It's not even in his. But they're so famous. Their announcement, which was a collab post between the two of them, has 4 million likes.
Nicole
Oh, my gosh.
Andrea
Like, they're very well known. But like, how do they.
Nicole
They have to get to work.
Andrea
Let me look at her. I'm sure she's like holding it down with her. She's a Ford model. She does like, they go to every event. But like.
Nicole
No, but those things.
Andrea
Do they pay?
Nicole
Those things don't pay.
Andrea
I think that they both are, like, big brand ambassadors for, like, international fashion brands.
Nicole
It seems like she's the only one working because what is he an ambassador for? She has, like, photo.
Andrea
I think they do stuff together, like, not modeling campaigns, but, like, they're definitely like, like, you know, Hugo Boss ambassadors.
Nicole
Yeah. Does that stuff pay a lot?
Andrea
I think it, like, you know, if you get a bunch of them, here
Nicole
they are with Express. Oh, hashtag Express partner. Okay, good.
Andrea
But on her Instagram.
Nicole
Yeah. Oh, hashtag Walmart partner. Okay, good.
Andrea
Oh, Walmart partner. You got to do both. You got to do high end and masters.
Nicole
Her new biotherm campaign is here. Wait, everything, almost everything is an ad.
Andrea
She. Yes. She is a very successful influencer and model.
Nicole
How?
Andrea
Like, what does he do?
Nicole
Creed Fragrance ad.
Andrea
Maybe his company is called All Wise Metairie Meadery.
Nicole
Oh, wow. She works really hard.
Andrea
I know. So it's like, hopefully he has, like, investments.
Nicole
Maybe he'll be a sad.
Andrea
Maybe he'll be a stay at home dad. Yeah.
Nicole
Well, regardless, I don't want to worry them about their finances right now in such a course.
Andrea
Of course, of course. And really. Absolutely. Slay of an announcement. Yeah. We just showed up at Cannes Film Festival pregnant and posted a picture. Beautiful. Like insane.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
This is so classy.
Nicole
Yeah. Very, very. By the way, have you heard that there's, like, a Met Gala curse?
Andrea
No. Tell me all about it.
Nicole
So apparently Kylie and Timothy did not walk the carpet together because there's like a Met Gala couples curse that people. That's going around.
Andrea
I kind of feel that because it's sort of what we were saying, that the Met Gala feels like a time capsule of the year. So now when we look back on pictures, like, it's crazy that Jessica Simpson went with John Mayer, but it's reflective of the year. Whereas, like, if you're trying to be timeless, you can't go to the Met Gala.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
Where did you hear that?
Nicole
I don't know. I. It was. I had it in the stories a couple days ago, but then it was just like a rumor that that's why the. And also, you know, the Knicks are in the playoffs, but that, you know, like, Kim went with Pete, Kylie did go with Travis, and there's just like this.
Andrea
But is it just for the Kardashians or.
Nicole
I don't know. I do feel like, though, if you go to the Mecca with someone, like, yeah. You're probably not getting married. I don't know. Why?
Andrea
Because it's like, date night.
Nicole
Yeah. But also but maybe it's like, dig deep here. If you're going with some to the Mecca with someone who's also invited to the Metalla on their own, maybe you shouldn't be together.
Andrea
Why?
Nicole
Just, like, two big star. Like, just not the right.
Andrea
Yeah, yeah.
Nicole
Except for Kylie and Timothy, of course. But, yeah, I thought that was interesting. These two used to go to the Met gala together. Oh, it's funny. They didn't give this moment to the Met gala. Good, good.
Andrea
Maybe they don't want to curse. Yeah. They're so. They're so Mac. Ella. Because they're so art.
Nicole
There's so much I don't know.
Andrea
Like, we, like, we can't even describe what they do for a living because they're just, like, doing art.
Nicole
Yeah. Yeah. You know who it reminds me of? Olivia Palermo and her husband Johan Schubel, who do art and modeling and faces of for sure.
Andrea
But I definitely have questions about how they pay their bills, like, because they're not operating at the level that, like, Barbara Palvin is.
Nicole
No, but, like. But she's been doing it for years where she's just, like, face up. Hashtag partner, hashtag ad.
Andrea
It's insane that she's, like, from the reality show.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
Like, I'm sure she, like, worked her way up in the fashion world, but the reason why the world knows her is because of that one season. Wonder the city.
Nicole
Yeah. But, like, the reason why we remembered her wasn't because of the show. Like, plenty of people.
Andrea
She was that girl.
Nicole
She was memorable.
Andrea
She was that girl.
Nicole
But, yeah, the two of them, they just, like, show up places, get their photo taken and pay the bills.
Andrea
Yeah. They're at, like, every, like, artsy fashion event.
Nicole
Yeah. Yeah. So that's. That's familiar.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Our next story. I know this is going to be, like, really hard news for some people. Jason Biggs and his wife Jenny Mullen have split after 18 years of marriage.
Andrea
And this is not hard for me, but, like, it's hard for me to compute. Like, seriously, why?
Nicole
Why split?
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I feel like they're one of those couples that, like, people are questioning the definition of love today. If they were your couple.
Andrea
Yeah, they're just like. So I guess when you pass a certain length of time in a Hollywood relationship, like, you're forever, you know, I think of them as, like. Like a Blake and Orion before, you know, all the hate. Or like, Chrissy and John, Emily and John, like, just an institution, obviously, on, like, a smaller level, because they're not as famous as everybody else, but, like, so weird.
Nicole
Yeah. But I guess you could say that at, like, any marriage. Like, if you get to 18.
Andrea
Of course.
Nicole
Of course. If you get to 18 years, don't you just, like, cruise into the sunset, enjoy the golden years?
Andrea
And I think, like, the comparison is because they share a lot. And, like, they're so high relatable. Like, you know, like Instagram, like Ryan Reynolds, like, cutting his wife out. So it's just like, this is. This is shocking. Like, talk about people I never thought of. Like.
Nicole
Yeah, no. But I do feel like people feel like they know them because they're very, like, Instagram and relatable, and they share a lot of, like, the ins and outs and, like, the good and the bad, you know?
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
But now they're calling it quits. They say they're on great terms. They remain focused on their sons, who are 8 and 12.
Andrea
Crazy.
Nicole
Page 6 said they've been hearing rumblings of a split for at least nine months.
Andrea
Oh, I haven't heard a single rumble.
Nicole
No, me neither. But, like, I wasn't listening.
Andrea
That's what I'm saying. Like, I wasn't even. I never thought to think of these.
Nicole
I didn't have my ear to the ground.
Andrea
Well, I did, but not about them.
Nicole
No, about. And I did not have my ear to the ground about them.
Andrea
I never think of them.
Nicole
I didn't see American Pie. He's a little before our time.
Andrea
I wouldn't say that, actually. I just, like, he did other stuff, too. So classic.
Nicole
He's so classic. But I do feel like, for Euro Trip. Yeah. We were, like, a little young to have watched Euro Trip.
Andrea
Yeah. Yeah, I guess. But, like, he's classic. What else is he from? I feel like I've seen him and stuff.
Nicole
Yeah, no, he's in a ton of stuff. But I'm saying, like, people who are obsessed with him. Like, I do feel like we're a little. A couple years after those people.
Andrea
Yes.
Nicole
All the Americans.
Andrea
Yeah. Which I might have seen one.
Nicole
So many rom coms. My best friend's girl saving Silverman. He's, like, dating that awful girl and they're trying to, like, break them up and him and his loser friends and. Actually, of course.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Who's the girl?
Andrea
Yeah. Probably now, if we watched it, she was like.
Nicole
She's, like, extremely Trying to, like, make her man better.
Andrea
Yeah.
Guest
Right.
Nicole
Yeah. Amanda Pete is a girl.
Andrea
Classic. Amanda Pete has been working forever.
Nicole
Yeah. He's going to allow himself to be badgered into marrying Judith a Woman he doesn't love. They decide to reunite. They decide to reunite him with his ex or whatever, long lost love from his school days. And then they kidnap Judith.
Andrea
Oh, dark.
Nicole
Yeah. Jersey Girl.
Andrea
I know you love that he's in Jersey Girl. Yeah, there he is with Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
And the girl from the Voice.
Nicole
Yeah, there he is.
Andrea
Who does he play?
Nicole
Someone in the COVID photo. He plays. What?
Andrea
That's one of my favorite movies.
Nicole
He plays. I don't know. Oh, hold on. I'm going to IMDb. I'm really down the rabbit hole. Hold on,
Andrea
I'll find it.
Nicole
IMDb is not what it used to be.
Andrea
Agreed.
Nicole
Oh, Arthur Brickman.
Andrea
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He plays, like, Ben Affleck's, like, big city agent.
Nicole
He plays Arthur Brickman.
Andrea
Yeah, of course. I mean, putting him on the COVID is kind of generous. Like, nobody's such a big star.
Nicole
I mean, he's really character. He's really huge, but he's, like, very 90s, you know, and we were just like, growing up at the time.
Andrea
Yeah. So sorry, Rip to that. Marriage.
Nicole
Yeah. Sad. Are you ready for our next story? Another breakup.
Andrea
What number?
Nicole
Number four?
Andrea
Yeah. Is it Elsie Hewitt?
Nicole
He. Davidson and Elsie Hewitt split five months after welcoming baby girl. So Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have parted ways. According to the sun, the relationship fell victim to Pete's busy work schedule following baby Scotty's arrival in December. I'm sorry, that just came.
Andrea
No, I'm sorry. That's crazy.
Nicole
Unacceptable. Like, to the point that I actually don't believe it because, like, if you wanted to, you would. Yeah.
Andrea
And I'm gonna. I'm gonna go a little, you know, out of bounds here and say, like, I just find this unacceptable. You have a five month old. Let's say it is. The schedule. What's the point in being famous if you can't take off a couple of months when you have a baby?
Nicole
Yeah. No, the. The outlet said Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born. It's like.
Andrea
Like, just I. I find you're both my trash, quite frankly. Like, this is so unexpected.
Nicole
Try harder. Try harder.
Andrea
Barring, like, the truth being any sort of abuse, extenuating circumstances. Sorry. Too bad you made this decision. Get back home, get back in bed.
Nicole
Then they said it was very hard for him because obviously he has to work to make money. I'm sorry. If, like, Barbara Palton and Dylan Sprouse can work at the rate that they do.
Andrea
Like, doesn't he live in his mom's like, basement?
Nicole
He's in the biggest movies of all time. Yeah. He has a very low overhead. He's not super glamorous.
Andrea
He's like the face of Calvin Klein. And up until recently, he had quite literally no responsibilities besides supporting like, himself and his mom.
Nicole
Yeah. Like, you don't have savings, you can't take off a couple months.
Andrea
And I'm sorry, like, if you, even if you do have to keep working, like, you're at a point where, like, why don't we all travel together? We get on a big tour bus, like, you make it work.
Nicole
No, but you, you can take a break, of course.
Andrea
But let's say he can't. Like, let's say he spent all his money and like, you know, on sneakers. Like, I'm sorry. And this is, like, this is everybody.
Nicole
There are other ways for him, him specifically to like, make money from home,
Andrea
you know, or like a one day shoot day. Go do a commercial for Walmart.
Nicole
Go do some Instagram ads. Go do. Why don't you do one huge show, one huge night that'll pay for a couple more months. Yeah.
Andrea
And it could be local. I really live in New York, not
Nicole
concerned about his earning potential. And so I actually, I'm not buying this.
Andrea
I'm not buying, you know, I reject this. I'm sorry. Like, this is like, you have a duty as a parent to a five month old to at least try a little bit harder.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
I'm getting the vibe that, like, if that's true, this is like a manipulation of the truth. Like, maybe like, Pete's like scared and he's like spending time away because he doesn't want to be home. Like, sorry, do better.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
And I'm sorry. This is like the Internet's boyfriend. Everybody looks him up like, he sucks.
Nicole
I feel like people are over that,
Andrea
you know, But I still think people, like love him and think he's the greatest. Like, and I hate this. Like, I think this makes you the worst.
Nicole
Yeah. His personal life is really a mess and it's been a mess, but this is really.
Andrea
I feel bad for her.
Nicole
Yeah, yeah. Same. I don't know. Our fifth and final story.

Nicole
Our fifth story is a new segment that I've started that I'm starting.
Andrea
Oh, music to my ears. You know I live for a segment.
Nicole
I know you do. This One is called Nickelandrea's Mindless News.
Andrea
I approve Nickelandrea's Mindless news. Like the 4th of July.
Nicole
So nickel. Andrea's. Sorry, not Alandra. This is not Alandra. This is Nick.
Andrea
He is almost is never about. Like it. It's not about Alandria like, it's about Nick.
Nicole
Yeah, he's responding to criticism of their romance. He's talking directly to us. Oh, and he's also sharing his partnership with Smirnoff, of course.
Andrea
Oh my God. I'm telling you, they're never beating the fraudulent allegations.
Nicole
So he directly addressed the criticism surrounding his relationship with Alandria. And by the way, that's so. That's such a dishonest statement. It's not criticism about his relationship.
Andrea
Agreed.
Nicole
It.
Andrea
It's. It's doubts of the legitimacy.
Nicole
Yeah. At this point, the critics and the critiques are just overdone. He said he told Us Weekly about promoting his smearnova, his partnership. He said, quote, I've said all I need to say. He has since.
Andrea
Okay.
Nicole
Shifted his approach, adding, at this point, it's just not about giving it any more attention. He said it's just intuition. He said he's focused on prioritizing, protecting their relationship from outside commentary. He said it's just intuition. I know the boundaries I have for myself and how much to share and what not to share. Lately, not revealing too much about my personal life has been so nice for both of us. He credited blocking people and setting boundaries online. He said despite creating some distance, he still has enjoyed throwing out like breadcrumbs when it comes to milestones in him and Alandria's relationship. He said. He said we'll be hanging out and I'll take a picture where her hand will be in the photo and people will see. So it's kind of funny. Ahead of their one year anniversary.
Andrea
What? I'm cracking up. Their one year fraudiversary.
Nicole
He recalls his immediate attraction to Elantra, which this part I believe, because what he says is true. And like, I think that he was like, I saw those fan edits from early days.
Andrea
Okay. I don't know actually, if you can Say immediate attraction. Because if you're immediately attracted to someone and then you make out with them and decide that, like, actually it's not a match. Like, I'm sorry. There was not an immediate attraction.
Nicole
I'd say the first thing I noticed was obviously her beauty and grace. She just carries herself as a proper woman and the boss that she is. I just think that's really attractive, which is just facts. But he said he's appreciated the calm moments more. Looking ahead.
Andrea
I'm cracking up, like, literally. Okay, sorry, go.
Nicole
I just need you to read everything that I read. Wait. Looking ahead, I want to go back to our island that we went on for one of our dates. I'd like to go back to that island. About there, like, he wants to celebrate in Fiji. He also says that they're holding up. Fans are holding out hope for a Nickel Andrea appearance in the new season. He said that Smearn Off Ice, which he's partnered with, is also part of.
Andrea
Can't forget.
Nicole
He's also partnering with Love island, launching a new fan edit, a new campaign inviting fans to vote on a bold new flavor. He said, I'm. I'm in the DJ space, and I'd like to have a Smearn Off Ice with me.
Andrea
We did. We did what he said.
Nicole
Now that Smirnoff is doing the partnership with Love island, we're going to have eight new flavors that fans get to choose from during commercial breaks. Fans will be able to vote for it. I think that's really cool.
Andrea
And interactive commercial breaks. I pay for the Peacock premium. During the summer. Only during the summer.
Nicole
Listen, listen. We make fun of those who don't work, and we can. And we make fun of those who do.
Andrea
I maybe in the beginning, like, I respected their hustle and their commitment to this, but, like, it's actually insulting and it's really shocking, and it's actually not shocking, but I feel like it's a real indictment on the culture. Like, how dumb people are. Because, like, people always like, chavs. Taylor is a PR relationship, but Nicola Andrea is real. Like, please. I. I actually can't.
Nicole
No.
Andrea
And the more we talk hysterical.
Nicole
The more we talk about Nickel Andrea. Like, we really do get comments. Like, how can you say they're fake? Like, nickelandrea is real.
Andrea
Like, and Nicholas forever.
Nicole
I just. What are you guys talking about?
Andrea
Like, what are you guys talking about?
Nicole
Like, they do every. I mean, actually, I don't follow them closely enough, but from what I see of them, like, they're really not together often.
Andrea
But what he's saying is that, like, they've chosen to do that for their privacy because there were so many criticisms of their relationship.
Nicole
And I love that he's like.
Andrea
Like, gets her hand in to let the fans know that they're still together. Meanwhile, she's sending him pictures of her hand being like, put this in your photo.
Nicole
Yeah. No. He gets the opportunity to respond to the criticism and he's like, I'm just not going to give it any air. Like, I know. It's just was so crazy.
Andrea
Like, ah, I feel good, like, knowing that I never bought into this and I just. People did buy into it and maybe now don't or they still do, but I never did.
Nicole
No, like, and I just, like, I don't get it. It must really be making the money. And I think for him it's. I mean, for him it's amazing. For him it's amazing because look, Smirnoffice. Like, we're still talking about him.
Andrea
Everyone else, he's a dj.
Nicole
Everyone else is on beyond the Villa. Like, yeah, of course.
Andrea
And there's a high above. She is on another level than him, but he's not with the rest of the boys dancing in a, you know, an LA apartment.
Nicole
What does Nickelandria do her? Bless you. I don't know.
Andrea
Now I feel like she could really use like a sort of Arianimatics moment.
Nicole
Like Bachelorette. Yeah.
Andrea
It doesn't serve her anymore. I do think they were stronger together when they left the villa. But, like, she's really exceeded him in terms of, like, fame and prestige. And now he's definitely bringing her down with his, like, turn Smirnoff articles. And. Yeah, she's like, there were talks about, like, she was gonna be at the Met gala. Like, she's gotta go.
Nicole
She should be the Bachelorette 1000%. Like, because she's single and because she's so ready and she's so mature and she's.
Andrea
And she has a great personality. Like, she can really carry. She was hilarious on the show. Like, it's one thing to be pretty, but, like, you have to. To be the lead, you have to carry.
Nicole
Yeah. No, and that's what he said. Like, her beauty and grace, which, like, we all know what he's talking about. Like, the way that she just, like, holds herself, it's just. It's.
Andrea
It's Queen.
Nicole
Like, it's Queen. Like, it's very graceful.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Did you also see the rumors that Taylor Frankie Paul's season of the Bachelorette is going to air this summer?
Andrea
I think I told you that.
Nicole
No, but I just, I. That was like low. Like that's been bubbling. But I just saw like a more official rumor.
Andrea
I don't think so. Like the time has passed. People moved on. Like they took their loss.
Nicole
Yeah.
Andrea
And I don't know if they want to get back involved. Like, it's so messy.
Nicole
Yeah, it is. The whole thing is messy. Also, like there was the report that there would be like no men on next season of slammu Love. Yeah. But also it's like it doesn't have to be like 0 or 100. Like we could have like 10.
Andrea
Jacob can stay.
Nicole
We could be like 10.
Andrea
Even Jace.
Nicole
Even Jace.
Andrea
He could stay.
Nicole
Your boyfriend learning about their relationships, that doesn't bother me. It was when we had to treat dad talk like it was in any sort of way, like worth considering in anything that we're thinking you're talking about.
Andrea
Yeah.
Nicole
Yeah. Okay. Queenie and Weenie.
Andrea
Yes. Those are the fast five stories. And our final segment of the week is a little something we like to call Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week where we give out two awards. Pretty self explanatory. Did you act like a Queenie this week? Well, you might find yourself in the Queenie seat. Did you act like a weenie this week? You might be winning of the week. Don't take it too seriously. It's a seven day title. We'll start with Queenie.
Nicole
We'll start with Queenie. Because I'm doing something unprecedented it my reigning Queenie two weeks in a row now. Spencer Pratt, once again, I guess after the debate he's really like become a bigger figure.
Andrea
It's become a national news.
Nicole
It's become a national story because I really wasn't aware of what was happening. And so I've been just like getting so much more content of like his interviews and his videos. Like he is just like doing interviews. He makes like these AI videos he like had like a song about and he did like a really big fundraiser at David Foster and Catherine Foster's house.
Andrea
Literally Princess of Malibu, if you know, you know.
Nicole
And I have just been loving watching everything and I watched like the video that he made in his Airstream with like Heidi that was like black and white of like the boys going back to the house and like finding like their old shovel burned in the backyard. Like, it's just, I'm like, I, I, I, I've really been like taken by the whole, the whole race now. I'm really invested in what's going on over There. And once again, he is my queenie. I think he's doing such a great job. I think he's speaking for so many people. It's so bipartisan, too, because I feel like, like, across all the different things that I see, like, so many different people are, like, supporting.
Andrea
It's a nonpartisan position, the role.
Nicole
Yeah, no, and he really, like, makes it about, like, he's here for the city of Los Angeles. Like, it doesn't have to do with national politics.
Andrea
Oh, my God.
Nicole
Like, foreign politics. Like, he just wants what the Angelinos want, which is, like, a functioning city, and he's my city.
Andrea
Again, he was asked, you know, there's been a lot of comparisons to you, Spencer, for Zora and Mamdani, because you both really use social media to harness and, like, ignite the people. And Spencer was like, yeah. I mean, Zoran Mamdani wants free buses, and I also want buses free of urine feces. Like, seriously, he's so funny. I don't know where he comes. He's very quick, too.
Nicole
Yeah, he's very quick. He was like, so in that sense, we both want free things on the buses.
Andrea
Hilarious.
Nicole
Hilarious. He also was getting, like, a lot of shakes, I guess. He's staying at a hotel when he, like, his home is an Airstream right now. And he just, like, gave an on the flight interview to tmz, being like. Like, I can't live in that Airstream. Like, so many people want to kill me. That Airstream, there's no structures around it.
Andrea
TMZ is, like, obsessed now with, like, exposing that. Like, he doesn't live in the Airstream. And I just want to say I never thought he actually lived in the Airstream. He was making a point. This is my lot of land, and we have an Airstream on it now because this is what this endless provided for me one year later.
Nicole
That is his home address. Like, if he wants to go stay in a hotel right now while he's running a campaign and, like, yeah, he needs security now. He needs. He can't be sitting in an Airstream in the middle of nowhere.
Andrea
No, please. Like, media literacy at a zero.
Nicole
Like, it's really crazy. It's really, really crazy. So anyways, I just. I've, like, been. I've fallen down a rabbit hole again, further down the rabbit hole this week. And I think you just see, it seems so sweet, and I'm just really historic. Really. I think it's really amazing. And it's crazy to think about, like, the trajectory, of course.
Andrea
And I remember when he announced it, like, he was. He had a lot of momentum on social media during the fires, obviously, because he was like a well known person who lost his whole house. But also because he had this campaign, you know, to get Heidi's music to number one, to like, you know, fundraise for their new house. And the journey it's taken has really been quite beautiful to watch. No.
Nicole
And in the time since, like, I stopped paying attention, he's gone from, like, there to like, very serious, legitimate, with, like some of the biggest names in LA supporting him financially and otherwise. And it's really, like, amazing because he did it like, totally. Bootstrapped cups.
Andrea
Totally. It's very impressive.
Nicole
Yeah, Queenie, like, Queenie, like. Yeah. So I think that's a first for me. Two weeks in a row. Row Queenie.
Andrea
My Queenie is also a reality star. And it goes to. It's gonna mean nothing to you, Jo Ellen. I don't know what the temperatures. I haven't went on Twitter yet to see, like, what people think, but. And you could plug your ears. I just want to say.
Nicole
But now I know I'm gonna like Joellen.
Andrea
No, you don't know that you will. I love Joellen. I just feel like it, what she's doing, it's like nobody wants to be that person. But sorry. That's how shows get made and that's how great. And I feel like she's actually doing it. And again, I haven't caught up on the whole thing. She's doing it in the most grace way that she possibly can. And yeah, it's like, okay. All the women is like, yeah, we know Brian's having an affair. And like, we'll tell Rula and she can do with that information what she will. But that's like, not enough for Joellen. It's like, girl, how stupid are you? I. I relate to that. It's like, it's very hard to watch somebody be so dumb. And all the other women are sort of fine with it and Joanne's not. And that's my queen right there. Now, Weenie of the Week touches on something that we spoke about in the beginning of the week and I actually didn't go hard enough. Because if I'm being honest. Be honest. I hadn't seen the whole video and I have since seen the entire James Charles Spirit Airlines video and I'd actually like to play it for the group just in case anybody hasn't heard it. Info. But we talked about it. You know what I'm talking about, right?
Nicole
No, no, But I didn't watch the video. I just heard about it.
Andrea
Oh, okay.
Nicole
Actually, I saw like clips, but. Yeah, me too.
Andrea
I saw clips. But this, like, I watched it in full.
Guest
I just got a DM on here from a girl that said, good morning, James. I know you'll probably never see this, but. But if you could just take one minute to read, it would really mean a lot to me. I'm really struggling right now because Spirit Airlines just filed for bankruptcy and I have lost my job. Here's a GoFundMe link. Any donations help? I'm sure they do, sweetheart. I'm sure they do. You know what else would help you? Getting another job. Yeah, try that. Because in the time that it took you to copy and paste the system, same ass message to myself, who you don't follow, by the way, and probably 100 other influencers and celebrities, you could have applied for 100 other jobs, but you didn't because you're a lazy piece of and you're entitled and you think that influences and celebrities should fund your life for you. Why? Why would I ever help you? You're not a fan. You don't even follow me. You've never supported me. This is your first time dming and you think that I'm going to send you money because you lost your job? Job. Oh, my God. Welcome to the real world, sweetheart. People lose their jobs every day. And you're white, pretty, and able bodied. You're in a much better position than a lot of other people out here who are trying clearly much harder to make a better life for themselves. Why would I help you? Aside from that, 17,000 people lost their jobs as Pure Airlines. Why do you think you need to go fund me? I can at least like 1% respect the mentality of closed mouths, don't it? That doesn't hurt to try. But honestly, it does hurt to try because now you pissed me off. Okay? I'm not the one. Go find Mr. Reese. This is literally his entire stick. I'm sure the next YouTube video is literally going to be like, I rehired all 17,000 of the spirit Airlines employees and it's going to be the real life Hunger Games. The last one of them to leave the Spirit Airlines plane gets to be the CEO of the new company and gets a house in a car. $10 million that everybody else dies. Like, go find that video to compete. And baby, I'm not helping you. I'm not helping you. All you did was lost your job. Okay? Welcome to the real world. I could at least Understand if you were like, james, I'm a longtime fan. Here's a trillion years of DMS and. And my support for you. I love you. I'm suffering with a really rare genetic disease that there is no cure for. And I'm trying to raise money for myself and other people that have this. Maybe I would help. Maybe I would help because I. I love you and I appreciate you this. You lost your job.
Andrea
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Guest
What are we going to do? Nothing. I'm going to do nothing. You know what you need to do? Go find a new one, girl. Put some effort into the workplace.
Andrea
Okay. So literally, I had not seen it in full. I kept seeing clips and every clip I was getting was so much worse. And I was like, oh, wait, I feel like maybe, like I was downplaying it. It's so bad. And like, I don't even know what the worst part of it is, but, like, like, it's. And of course the girls. GoFundMe blew up. She's like, now an influencer. She's monetizing on TikTok and she. James wrote her like a long. He deleted it. He made an apology video. He DM'd her a private apology to which she didn't answer. She just read it out. Like, it's actually so crazy. And that will lend you any of the week, like, bad take?
Nicole
No, but that's like a really crazy video. Is he doing crazy things right now?
Andrea
No, he's not like a rage baiter. Like, he's not going through a manic episode. Like, that was just a video he thought was a good take.
Nicole
Yeah, no, but it's not even about, like, the take, which is like a separate issue. It's like the manner in which he is speaking and yelling and the dramatics. Like, is it always, like, at that level?
Andrea
Yeah, he does like, rants and it's like, usually it's funny and relatable and people like what he's saying. Sometimes it's a little polarizing, but.
Nicole
But, oh, so maybe, like, maybe he's just gotten a lot of encouragement for his rants and, like, maybe like for polarizing rants. And so he's felt like, oh, this is like the next one that I should get.
Andrea
He also donated $5,000 to her. Oh. And what's crazy was that she was only raising sixteen hundred dollars. Like, it wasn't like she. I think she was probably just trying to, like, make rent that month, you know?
Nicole
But doesn't it keep going up, like, the more you raise?
Andrea
Yeah, of course. So now it's at, like, 20,000 or whatever.
Nicole
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Andrea
But her goal was 16. Like, she had set out with that goal now. Yeah, it's just insane. Like, it's the craziest video I've ever seen in my whole life.
Nicole
Yeah. Especially from someone who's, like, been on the Intern. But I guess if you're saying that he's been, like, doing rants and he's getting, like, positive, and he's getting, like, pot. I could see how you would think, like, oh, let me keep doing, like, hot takes and.
Andrea
Right.
Nicole
And with a lot of, you know, emphasis emphases. But, yeah, that's really wild. That's a good one. That's a good weenie. Weenie wiener.
Andrea
Do you have a weenie of the week?
Nicole
No, I don't. I really feel like when I don't have a weenie in mind, like, I. I don't want to pick one.
Andrea
All right, but that's a couple of weeks that you've been weenie list, so just get your act together.
Nicole
Like, I'm, like, just on a positive kick. What can I say?
Andrea
Yeah, you could say that. I just feel like you're not thinking hard enough or preparing really.
Nicole
No, I really. I do think about it, and I go through all the stories, but, like,
Andrea
no one, like, let me see your weenie. This week was a recycled Queenie and no weenie. Like, sorry, I have to be true. Not to sound like. Not to sound like James Charles, but, like, you lazy piece of.
Nicole
I have to be true to me, you know?
Andrea
Well, why don't you just try a little. A little truer to you harder next week.
Nicole
I'll give you a weenie. I'll give you. Oh, great.
Andrea
Me.
Nicole
No, I told you, I'm positive. Who my weenie are the editors at Sports Illustrated who did not put Whoopi Goldberg on the COVID Thank you.
Andrea
That's brilliant.
Nicole
And who picked four covers instead of one Per usual.
Andrea
Per usual. I did read some feedback of people being, like, in the print industry. Like, it's so hard to get people to buy a magazine that, like, it's even harder to get covers.
Nicole
It's even hard to get people to buy four.
Andrea
It's. Yeah. You think one is hard?
Nicole
No, I saw that. Like, please stop. And if you had, like, one iconic cover, it would just be, like, more iconic and people would want to buy it versus, like, four random. More valuable, more value. Yeah. Like, be making a statement instead of four random. People's Instagram photo. But thanks.

Spring just slid into your dms. Grab that boho. Look for that rooftop dinner, those sandals that can keep up with you. And hang some string lights to give your patio a glow Up. Spring's calling. Ross, work your magic.
In this lively Friday edition of The Toast, Jackie and Claudia (with some confusion over their nicknames and guest banter) bring their signature mix of pop culture news, reality TV recaps, and personal updates. The main themes encompass reality TV gossip (especially the Real Housewives franchise), celebrity relationship news (notably Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumors), and a dose of their signature Queenie & Weenie end-of-week awards. The episode is sprinkled with genuine friendship banter, self-deprecating humor, and moments reflecting the joy and absurdity of daily pop culture.
Jackie and Claudia discuss plans for an upcoming live show and travel logistics, emphasizing how "adulting" makes even simple travel feel like a big ordeal if you’re not used to it.
Light-hearted banter about co-sleeping and the challenges of getting kids to sleep (Nicole: "It took a long time to get those two to bed.").
A humorous aside about never having visited each other's homes and the social oddities that come with adulthood ("You've never been to mine. I've lived in your home!" — Andrea [03:13]).
Andrea offers an in-depth recap and opinions on the Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI):
Conversation transitions into reminiscing on past girls' trips and plotting a future one to Charleston.
Queenie(s):
Weenie:
Honorable Weenie Mention:
This episode is a quintessential Toast Friday: a blend of pop culture gossip, reality TV deep-dives, internet oddities, and endearing host banter. Jackie and Claudia oscillate between being serious pop culture analysts and irreverent best friends, always keeping their commentary grounded, funny, and often self-deprecating.
Recommended segments for non-listeners: The RHORI recap [06:00], Taylor Swift wedding analysis [22:33], Nickelandrea skepticism [48:38], and the Queenie & Weenie awards [56:00, 60:41] provide both laughter and unique insight into what’s making headlines in pop culture this week.
