A
Good morning, girlies. It's the Toast. It's Jackson Claude and we're your host. It's your favorite show, the Fast 5.
- [00:16]
B
Things you need to know. We'll start your day off Swirly.
- [00:21]
A
It's the Toast. I sound amazing.
- [00:25]
B
Welcome back to the Toast and happy Friday. Hope everybody's having a par delicious entree to the weekend. Doesn't feel for me quite like a Friday yet because, like, I just, like, picked up and, you know, moved my family out west very Oregon Trail style. It's giving like a Wednesday. So I'm not mad. It's just like, I can't believe it's Friday. When I had to write down my queenie and weenie, I was like, oh, okay.
- [00:43]
A
I didn't move my family out west and it still doesn't feel like a Friday to me. I don't know why today.
- [00:49]
B
So it's not just like a feeling for people who move their families out west?
- [00:51]
A
No, no. I feel like it's also for people who are sat where they are, whose week was actually quite ordinary. It just doesn't feel like a Friday and let alone a Friday leading into a long weekend.
- [01:03]
B
Yeah. Let's talk about just like a little bit of a housekeeping update. There is no episode Monday. Oh, why? Because we respect national holidays. Now, Monday's national holidays a little murky. If you're celebrating Columbus Day, you're celebrating.
- [01:12]
A
Indigenous people celebrating all of it.
- [01:15]
B
I'm going to tell you, I don't give a fuck. Like, I think I'm celebrating whatever gets me the day off from work.
- [01:20]
A
I think we should have two days off. One for Columbus and then one for indigenous peoples. I will celebrate all of that.
- [01:29]
B
I love that idea. Let's start writing up the legislation.
- [01:32]
A
I think that would be really beautiful.
- [01:34]
B
I would like to thank Columbus and the indigenous folks for giving me Monday off. I love you all. And you know what? I actually shout out to the indigenous because I feel like for a while Columbus Day was like, no, you're all coming into the office. It kind of was losing its power. Severity. Yeah. As one of the bank holidays. And then the indigenous were like, well, actually, maybe we should rebrand it. And you know what? I'm with them.
- [01:56]
A
Well, actually, what if it was about us, right?
- [01:59]
B
Not the indigenous and making it about themselves.
- [02:01]
A
Yeah. But like, getting people. Getting people to take it seriously again.
- [02:06]
B
I'm so here for it. I respect the indigenous and they're like, right to be taken seriously.
- [02:09]
A
And so however we got here, I'm just so glad I really need that Monday off this time around. Like I am clinging to that day. I have scheduled like so many parchy things for myself. I really need it.
- [02:24]
B
Yeah. And then it's like we get. We start with Tuesday's episode and then that night we have Dancing with the Stars. So like it's just next week's gonna be amazing.
- [02:30]
A
Yeah, we're just like kicking off the week with a bang. Yeah.
- [02:34]
B
So can I tell you two things I forgot to pack that have like actually been ruining my life? Sure. And it's funny how when you go to a new place and you order on Amazon, like when I go to your house, I can order something on Amazon and it will be there in three hours. It's actually crazy. New York's getting better. They' lot of like same day delivery. Like Los Angeles. Like there's not a warehouse here for miles. Because I forgot my breast pump charger, which is single handedly been the worst thing to ever happen to me. I currently have a clog. Okay. And I'm not blaming the charger, I'm just saying.
- [03:04]
A
Well, it. Does your breast pump still have battery?
- [03:07]
B
It has one bar left. So I've just been like really scarce.
- [03:09]
A
Yeah. So. And obviously that contributed to the clog.
- [03:12]
B
Then I brought my Amazon fire stick so I could like plug into the TV and have all of my programs to watch. Chancing with the Stars. Forgot the remote. So it's like I have a full blown fire stick. I can't even turn it on. I have a breast pump, I can't use it. And I ordered these items three days ago. Bezos do better. And in Los Angeles it's not like it's not giving tech capital.
- [03:33]
A
Maybe they have a different thing. Like maybe like Walmart, same day delivery. Like pops off out there.
- [03:39]
B
Yeah, no, I've been instacarting Target, same day delivery quite a bit. Target doesn't have a spectrum. They had Spectra. Oh, and also one of my flanges broke in the suitcase. They had the flanges at the Target, so I was able to get that, but they did not have a V12 power cord.
- [03:54]
A
Understood. And you don't have any mama friends in LA who have that? Put the call out.
- [04:00]
B
To be clear. I got here, I realized it and I ordered it immediately and it's still not here. It's just. What is this?
- [04:06]
A
Well, if anyone who has a Spectra charger, which if you've, if you've breastfed, then you definitely have one, reach out to our girl, she's in need.
- [04:15]
B
Well, mine's coming today. So, like, thanks, but no thanks.
- [04:17]
A
Oh, do not reach out to our girl. Do not come.
- [04:19]
B
No. And in general, like, do not come. Do not reach out. You know, just like. And that's. Are you in la?
- [04:26]
A
That's just in general reaching out to you. Do you feel, like, overwhelmed with outreach?
- [04:31]
B
Ben is, you know, trying to do and see and be everywhere all at once. He's like, we're in la and I'm telling you, he's going to end up cracked out on the street. Like, he's gonna get caught up in the Hollywood of it all and just. It's gonna be bad because he's already like, okay, well, we have to go to this party and then this for Halloween and this xy. Like, please, are you going to, like, a party?
- [04:50]
A
Halloween?
- [04:51]
B
Like, I actually am the one. I can't.
- [04:54]
A
The one.
- [04:54]
B
No, no, no, no, no. You have. No, like, it's not, it's. It's not.
- [04:57]
A
It's not public facing.
- [05:00]
B
It's not public facing.
- [05:01]
A
Oh, wow. Can't wait to hear more. Yeah, well, I've already had a full day now that we're on pt. I actually went shopping this morning.
- [05:13]
B
Oh, my God, that's insane. To, like, shop before you podcast.
- [05:18]
A
But I didn't actually buy anything yet. Just looking, just wanting to, like, get inspired. I feel like I've been out of the loop a little bit. You know, I have some. Some events coming up, like my birthday and I just wanted to, like, get inspired.
- [05:31]
B
Events.
- [05:32]
A
Like, you know. Okay, sorry. Not like parties, like, occasions in which I need to shower myself in gifts.
- [05:39]
B
Oh. Oh, Very different. Okay. Because I thought you were like, events. Events. I want to go to events. Invite me to your events.
- [05:46]
A
Yeah, but you know what? I have a closet full. I like, I actually have stuff.
- [05:48]
B
Yeah.
- [05:49]
A
For those set events, but not to shower myself and gifts. So I was just, you know, perusing this morning.
- [05:55]
B
Perusing.
- [05:57]
A
But yeah, no, it definitely was a tiresome task.
- [06:02]
B
Oh, my God, she's exhausted.
- [06:04]
A
I know. This time is, like, really a crazy. I didn't realize how much my energy changes, like in this stage of pregnancy. Like in the wee hours of the morning, like, the decline just starts so soon.
- [06:18]
B
Well, I appreciate you working with me in my pacific time, and I think Ben appreciates it more.
- [06:22]
A
Of course he does.
- [06:24]
B
Because it was hard not to make myself my queenie of the week because I'm such a queen for, like I said, being moving my family out west. Like, I'm on the Oregon Trail.
- [06:31]
A
Yeah, but you're not your queenie. Of the week.
- [06:34]
B
No. And actually I'm feeling a little conflicted about my Weenie of the week because there is something that is like, so weenie. Like.
- [06:41]
A
Mm. Say, like, go for it. What's the. What's holding you back?
- [06:47]
B
What's holding me back is that it's like a. It's not a celebrity. It's like a private citizen. Ish. Oh, but like, this private citizen, like, posted something online, like, for the masses. Oh.
- [07:00]
A
She entered into the public sphere. Right.
- [07:03]
B
Thus stepping into the arena. And I feel like I kind of have to give it to her. Sorry. I'm gonna do it. But I do. If I get nervous, I have a backup. Oh, it's like, so boring.
- [07:12]
A
And like, ah, color me intrigued.
- [07:15]
B
Yeah.
- [07:20]
A
So other than that, how's Los Angeles? Have you been to Erewhon yet?
- [07:22]
B
No, I haven't been grocery shopping. Yesterday while Ruby was napping, he, like, went shopping for us and he was. I don't know where he went. I just know that, like, I walked out and there was food everywhere. So I was good food.
- [07:33]
A
Like, prepared food. I feel like LA has good, like.
- [07:35]
B
No, like groceries. Groceries for the. For the house. And when Ben got in bed, he was eating this, like, little Erewhon chocolate. And I said, did you fucking go to Erewhon? That's like not grocery shopping, first of all. That's like an excursion without me. Because I said, like, I do want to go to Erewhon and film like a tick tock. And he didn't. He said, like, they sell Erewhon brand, like snacks. He went to Whole Foods.
- [07:57]
A
Oh, he's already started lying. It's the first sign.
- [08:04]
B
Something I'm noticing about la. Like, you will not see plastic bottles everywhere you go. They've got these green little mountain valley.
- [08:09]
A
Yeah, I have Mountain Valley, you guys. Claudia and I are cutting down on our microplastics.
- [08:13]
B
Like, Jackie told me that the average American. And let me tell you, I love plastic. Like, I'm not one of these freaky deaky, like, plastic paper, plastic plastic fork, plastic straw, plastic cup, plastic bottle, plastic make my life easier. Like, I don't give a. Okay. But then Jackie told me that the average American's eating a whole credit card a week. And I was like, yeah, something about the credit card. Like, really? I'm like, holy shit. And it's not going to my breast milk and it's like these little shards. So you know what? I'm so a microplastic free.
- [08:40]
A
Yeah, I've been off microplastics for a Few days now. I don't feel a difference. I wonder how long it takes to detox. I feel like 30 days.
- [08:47]
B
I have been off microplastics for a few days now, and I want to tell you, I've never felt worse, but I think that's more my clog.
- [08:53]
A
Clog. Like, I have sympathy pangs.
- [08:56]
B
This clog. Like, not to make everything about the clog, but.
- [08:59]
A
Oh, my God, no. When I was nursing with Harry, like, I was starting to get, like, a clog a week. Oh, yeah. And that was when it was the end of my run. Like, oh, I can't live like that. Yeah. It's so painful.
- [09:11]
B
I.
- [09:12]
A
There was, like, a couple days where I couldn't even come into work. I was, like, so in pain. Like, it was horrible. I don't know if you have, like, level of pain.
- [09:20]
B
I've had a couple of clogs, and they vary, like, in. In pain, but I'm usually able to get them out. I'm sorry. I'm jumping right to Ben, sucking it out. Like, I don't care. I'm not gonna be like, I don't.
- [09:29]
A
Even know if that works all the time. It's my. The thing about clogs is, like, every time you have one, you have to try. Like, you have 10 different things, and one of them will work, and you don't know which one it was that time.
- [09:39]
B
Yeah. So up until this point, like, the two or three that I've had have successfully been sucked out by my husband. And last night, we sucked, sucked, sucked. Didn't work. I've been nursing so much. Didn't work, and now I'm starting to feel, like, physically sick, which is, like, really not good. So I need to work on that today.
- [09:56]
A
Yeah. I don't even know what to tell you. You have to do, like, everything hot and cold.
- [10:00]
B
I know, I know. I'm just, like, so lazy. I'd almost rather just, like, live with the pain than, like, soak my tit in Epsom salt. You know what I mean?
- [10:07]
A
Yeah. And then also. Oh, yeah. Have you tried haka with Epsom salt and water?
- [10:12]
B
No.
- [10:13]
A
That one, like, sometimes works. It's so weird.
- [10:15]
B
But also, you think I have a haka here.
- [10:18]
A
You don't. Oh, you don't like the haka?
- [10:21]
B
No, but I'm, like, off that, like, milk collection thing, you know?
- [10:24]
A
Yeah. Sometimes you just need to, like, wait it. Like, ignore it, wait it out. And really, like, in time, it will go away, right? Oh, right.
- [10:34]
B
I don't know. I don't think So I think you could, like, go to the hospital.
- [10:37]
A
No. Well, you could get mastitis, but you could get mastitis in the first hour. Like, I just think, like, sometimes it, like, has to sort itself out, and there's really nothing you could do. It's a real misery. Like, I'm. I'm really sorry you're going through that.
- [10:46]
B
That's okay. Like I said, you know, I'm just a woman on the Oregon Trail. At least I'm not dying of dysentery.
- [10:52]
A
No.
- [10:53]
B
I love your trail, Oregon.
- [10:54]
A

B
I'm ready to dive into the stories, but I'm not. I don't want to rush you. Tell me. And we kind of have a crazy episode today.
- [11:05]
A
And I'm not gonna lie. Like, I do feel rushed. Just like being on Pacific time. Like, I feel, you know, I know. Like, we can't have Nalofi Silly Dally because we want to get the episode up. And so I feel rushed. Like, I'm just gonna admit it. That's how I'm feeling.
- [11:18]
B
Okay. So that's another thing. We could blame Ben for. Jackie's feeling rushed.
- [11:21]
A
I will love that. I will love it.
- [11:24]
B
Let's start because we have a crazy. Like, a crazy thing is about to happen.

A
Our first story of the day. I don't really understand what it all means. Maybe you can help me. Charlie XCX has a new A24 film called the Moment, starring Charlie, Kylie Jenner, Alexander Skarsgard, Rachel Cenot, and more. So yesterday a trailer dropped for a new film by A24 and Charlie XCX called the Moment. Kylie is featured in it alongside a lot of other actors and such. I did not watch the trailer because it said it could cause seizures.
- [18:24]
B
So, like the Kardashians recent obsession with, like, penetrating Hollywood from, like, an acting perspective is not something I'll genuinely understand. We've talked about this many times how, like, acting seems horrible. And if you're a billionaire, like, why would you do that? And if you are gonna enter the world of film and you're literally dating, like, the biggest movie star in the World. Why are you doing it with Charlie xcx? Like, no tea, no shade, but tea and shade. What the hell does Charlie XCX know about making a movie?
- [18:51]
A
I don't know, but A24 seems to know a lot. Like, they're kind of like the Go Studio. They're not my cup of tea all the time, but, like, no, they're very Gen Z. They're the buzzy new studio on the block.
- [19:02]
B
I don't know, like, the whole vibes. I know everybody's obsessed with Rachel Sonat and, like, fun fact about me, I have no idea who that is, but she's, like, always being pushed. Like, I see her everywhere. She's got a show coming out on hbo. People love her. Personally, I'm not familiar. And so I don't love that. Like, Kylie's entree into acting, which I don't need, mind you. Like, why don't you get back to the cosmetic studio? I put on a bronzer, you know. But her entree into acting, like, it's going to be with this group of people. I don't know. I just don't get it.
- [19:26]
A
No. The more she, like, digs into this group and, like, this side of Hollywood, like, the more I'm having a hard time.
- [19:34]
B
I know. And I actually don't get it.
- [19:37]
A
Like, why couldn't she have a cameo in, like, Marty McFly or whatever's coming out soon?
- [19:43]
B
There were so many things. She should have been in Barbie. Like, if she wanted to, she could.
- [19:47]
A
Have been in Willy Wonka with Timothy Loompa.
- [19:51]
B
Yeah.
- [19:52]
A
Yeah. Like, there are so many different ways. Like, I just. I don't. It's not really for me. But again, I didn't watch the trailer. Did you watch the trailer?
- [19:59]
B
No. But there are also people who, like, Stan, a 24. I don't know. I've never heard of, like, a music studio. I'm sorry. A movie studio that, like, has fans, you know?
- [20:07]
A
Yeah.
- [20:07]
B
And so people just wait, oh, it's an A24 movie. Oh, yeah. Does that mean something?
- [20:11]
A
Yes.
- [20:12]
B
And so this must be really thrilling for the A24 fans because A24 fans.
- [20:18]
A
Are also, like, die hard Kylie fans, because I could see them.
- [20:20]
B
I don't think they. With Kylie, Kylie's, like, too mainstream, you know?
- [20:24]
A
Yeah.
- [20:24]
B
A24 is, like, fringe and edgy.
- [20:27]
A
I don't know. It's not. Jackie.
- [20:29]
B
You know what? You know what was an A24 movie?
- [20:31]
A
The Julia Fox one.
- [20:35]
B
Sure. But you know what else?
- [20:37]
A
The Lobster Baby Girl. Okay. Exactly. I know. Up the Gems.
- [20:45]
B
Righteous gemstones. Yes.
- [20:46]
A
No, no, no. The Julia Fox one with gems. It was.
- [20:50]
B
Oh, Adam Sandler. Uncut gems.
- [20:52]
A
Uncut gems. Yes. That's my. But I didn't see it or anything.
- [20:57]
B
Uncle Jobs.
- [20:58]
A
Exactly. Exactly. That's the extent of my knowledge. Speaking of, though, Kardashians enacting the trailer for Kim show drop.
- [21:11]
B
Oh, yeah, she's wearing a pantsuit.
- [21:14]
A
What did you think? The show, like, looks like an objectively good show. Like, just like, legal drama, high power, divorce lawyers fighting it out.
- [21:22]
B
And I love the concept. Like, I get.
- [21:26]
A
Looks good. It looks good.
- [21:28]
B
It looks good.
- [21:29]
A
In spite of her. Yes.
- [21:31]
B
Because even if she did the best job ever, it's like, why is Kim Kardashian?
- [21:34]
A
I'm just, like, watching Kim. She's far too famous.
- [21:38]
B
I talk about this all the time. She is far too famous to be believed as anything other than Kim Kardashian. It's like, Kim Kardashian's not a lawyer. Well, actually.
- [21:45]
A
And someone was, like, chalking trash to her in the trailer. I'm like, you can't say that to her.
- [21:50]
B
Yeah. Who are you?
- [21:51]
A
Yeah. So it actually looks like a good show, but, like, not even because my fave is in it, but, like, in spite of the fact that my fave.
- [21:56]
B
Is in it, it's giving Lipstick Jungle a great show. Now, I don't know what those in Lipstick Jungle actually did for work. Do they work at a magazine or something?
- [22:05]
A
These women? Right.
- [22:07]
B
They just, like, went to work every day. Unclear what they were doing at work, but they were, like, pushing paper around. I loved that show. So I love to see, like, women in business. It's giving Ugly Betty. Like, there's. I. I think there's actually potential for this show. But, yeah, kid, being in it. And this goes back to what we were saying. Like, what is with the Kardashians obsession with, like, being actors?
- [22:23]
A
I don't know.
- [22:25]
B
It's so unnecessary. Like, if I was a billionaire and, like, I sold my businesses and, like, what? Everything Kim's doing is, like, great, you know, skims. Why? Why would you want to act? Like, long days on set to make $3 compared to what you make when you, like, launch a lipstick. I don't get it.
- [22:39]
A
I don't get it either, but to each their own. So if this movie looks exciting to you, like, I'm excited for you.
- [22:45]
B
Oh, yeah. Not to, like, yuck. Everyone's yums if you're excited about this. Like, I'm genuinely happy for you. Confused by you, but also happy for.
- [22:51]
A
You confused by you. Yeah.
- [22:52]
B
Yeah.
- [22:53]
A
Are you ready for our next story? Which is some crazy news that broke this morning that Real Housewives of Potomac star Wendy Oseppo and her husband Eddie have been arrested for felony fraud. 15, 15 counts. So real House is a Potomac Star. Wendy.
- [23:09]
B
Jackie, by the way. Wait, you're breaking this news for me? Like, I have not heard this. And when I thought you were about to say Wendy o'sf, I'm like, oh, what did she do? And her husband, I'm like, oh, they're getting divorced. Like, no, I did not know where that sentence was going.
- [23:17]
A
They were arrested for fraud. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office in Westminster, Maryland tells Page Six the married couple was taken into custody Thursday but is in the process of being released after each placing $50,000 bond. Wendy faces 15 total charges, including seven felony false slash misleading info fraud in excess of $300, seven misdemeanor on false misled info fraud in excess of $300 and a misdemeanor charge of a false statement to an officer per the Carol County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer. I mean, in excess of $300 could literally be any amount. Could be 301.
- [23:55]
B
Oh. Or it could be 300, 000. Oh, I thought it was below 300.
- [23:57]
A
No, no, no, no.
- [23:59]
B
Oh, okay. Because I'm like, oh. I'm like, someone's coming for Wendy. This feels like she's being targeted. I understand now. Okay. I misunderstood. Okay. This is so crazy. I also just feel like it's not crazy that like a housewife finds herself in legal trouble. It actually is just sort of a rite of passage. But it's very rare that it happens twice in one franchise. It's like there's always like, you know, it's the Gensha of Salt Lake, it's the, the Teresa of Jersey. But Karen Huger just got out of jail now. I think it's the first time it's been like a double no.
- [24:27]
A
And also what's crazy is that they've been arrested. Like there's a mug shot. You know, a lot of people have like legal troubles or like financial tax.
- [24:35]
B
Troubles and it's different.
- [24:36]
A
And it just starts to be like a process of lawsuits and whatnot in court, but like to go to jail immediately.
- [24:45]
B
I mean, the women, the women are going to eat this.
- [24:48]
A
She's still on the show. I've fallen off so much.
- [24:51]
B
I fallen off of a lot of housewives too. Wait, let me see. Is. Let me ask. Chat.
- [24:58]
A
She was a good housewife.
- [24:59]
B
So I Feel like she was Wendy, still a real housewife of Potomac.
- [25:03]
A
And they don't say former.
- [25:04]
B
It says real housewife.
- [25:06]
A
She.
- [25:07]
B
I agree. It was a very good house. I've actually really liked her. Yes. As of now, she's listed as a main cast member on Potomac. However, there's a complication because as of October 25, her and her husband were arrested on fraud charges.
- [25:16]
A
As of two hours ago.
- [25:18]
B
Five minutes ago. That's so crazy. I'm in shock.
- [25:22]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [25:24]
B
Now I need to know more, obviously, because this is feeling oddly reminiscent. Did she like. It sounded like she didn't fraud the government like Teresa. She like, frauded people. Very gen shot coded or banks. Right. Very Crisley coated.
- [25:38]
A
Yeah, I'm sure more will. More will emerge. That's just the information that we have right now. They're being released though, on bond.
- [25:47]
B
And being a housewife is like such a curse. It can be for some people. Some people, like, you know, brings it back from the dead. Bethany Kim's also. But some people, it's just like truly a curse.
- [25:58]
A
Yeah. Well, we have to find out what she did. I don't know what she did.
- [26:02]
B
Yeah, they're gonna. They're gonna need to be a little bit more clear. Yeah, I'll wait for like one of those Bravo accounts, like, read the documents.
- [26:07]
A
To tell me what it's more like. Hulu documentary. Like the ocefos.
- [26:11]
B
I was being such a Bravo blogger this morning. Ben drove me to work. And on our way to work, he was like, stopping to get coffee at this place and we drove past. Sir. I was like, oh, my God, it's so funny. And Ben, like, pulled over right after that. He pulled. He parked right in front of something about her. They're literally like two doors down from one another. And then we drove right past Pump and Tom. Tom. I literally went on like a Bravo and I was like, taking pictures being, like such a Bravo blogger.
- [26:33]
A
How did everything look?
- [26:36]
B
You know, it had that Lisa Vanderpump, like, run down vibe. Like, everything sir looks seriously like it's been foreclosed for 20 years because it just has. Okay. Bruno.
- [26:46]
A
Bruno.
- [26:47]
B
Bruno just, like, vomited. Is he okay?
- [26:49]
A
Yeah, no, he was clearing his throat. Of course. He said, like, just in case I have another chewy ad, like, I'm ready, Mom.
- [26:55]
B
Very bent offer of him clearing his throat. Put me in all of her properties, like, look like seriously deceased, like inoperable. But they. You open, you go inside, and they're like, fully operable and really beautiful, but on the outside. Maybe that's also just like an LA thing. Like, everything, like, looks dirty and grungy. Perhaps like, SIR actually looks like it was, like, destroyed in a fire years ago and never touched.
- [27:16]
A
But we have been to sir, like, in past years. Did it look the same as it always did? Yes, it lost its luster.
- [27:22]
B
No, it definitely. It looks the same.
- [27:23]
A
Oh, okay. That's good. And something about her.
- [27:26]
B
Something about her, you know, was boarded up, but it's was also early. I don't think they boarded up. Yeah, like closed.
- [27:33]
A
That's not boarded. Like closed permanently.
- [27:36]
B
No, like closed.
- [27:38]
A
Okay.
- [27:38]
B
Just like, I don't think anybody's eating a sandwich at 9am Got it.
- [27:43]
A
So.
- [27:43]
B
But I poked my head in, saw a couple of throw pillows.
- [27:46]
A
Cute. Yeah.
- [27:48]
B
Just had a busy morning. You had a busy morning. So did I. I know.
- [27:51]
A
Mornings, mornings. We're morning people now.
- [27:53]
B
In meetings. Meetings, meetings. Mornings, Mornings, mornings.
- [27:56]
A
Are you ready for our next story? Some more movie news.
- [27:59]
B
Movie news.
- [28:00]
A
Bradley Cooper will star in an Ocean's Eleven prequel with Margot Robbie. Like, this just feels like the most obvious headline. I feel like I've read it. Like, it's obvious new information. But, like, they're not already.
- [28:12]
B
Bradley Cooper, though. Was he in the Rich.
- [28:13]
A
They're not already in an Oceans movie. Both of these people, like, now it makes sense that they're getting one. It's a prequel. It will take place before the 2001 heist comedy Ocean's Eleven, which starred George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.
- [28:30]
B
But not Bradley Cooper.
- [28:32]
A
No, no, no. I mean, he would have been 12, but. Yeah, right.
- [28:34]
B
But how is it a prequel when he's, like, older now than they were in the original?
- [28:40]
A
Is he much older now? Like, maybe he's kind of right around the same age or he's playing different character. It's like he might be playing a different character.
- [28:48]
B
Do you think Jennifer Lawrence hates Margot Robbie?
- [28:51]
A
No. I really feel like there's space for both of them and they're both doing fine.
- [28:57]
B
No, they're both doing just fine. For sure. I was just wondering. Like, I was just being toxic. Sorry.
- [29:01]
A
But, yeah, she also could have been in this movie. Like, there's just, like an interchangeable. And the thing about the Oceans franchise is, like, it's pretty good and it hasn't been up yet. Like, even though.
- [29:09]
B
No, even when they did the one for Girls, I was like, you know what? That's good.
- [29:12]
A
The girly one. I enjoyed it.
- [29:14]
B
I did too.
- [29:15]
A
I think that it was good for women in the sense that, like, Women could also do an oceans movie. Because I know some people thought that, like, women's couldn't do ocean's movies, women's.
- [29:23]
B
Couldn'T do it and that like, women's couldn't rob, but women's could rob.
- [29:28]
A
So I think that was really strong for women. And so, yeah, until they like, up this franchise, like, keep going. All the movies, like, are really good. I like a heist movie.
- [29:36]
B
It's not sad yet. And they haven't like, Beat the Horse Dead. It's still fine.
- [29:42]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [29:44]
B
Actually, that women one was really good. Then Rihanna. Yeah, it was good.
- [29:48]
A
Anne Hathaway.
- [29:51]
B
You know what, that begs the question, what in the world happened to Awkwafina? Don't you feel like there was like a couple of year period where it was like, Aquafina this, Aquafina that. Like, Aquafina was everywhere.
- [30:00]
A
Yeah, but I. One that just like happens when you are everywhere all at once. But also I feel like she's sort of like, settled in her career now. Like, she's really like a working actress.
- [30:13]
B
Which is. Watch crazy rich Asians on the plane too.
- [30:14]
A
So good.
- [30:15]
B
She's in so good. John Chu. I didn't realize.
- [30:21]
A
John.
- [30:21]
B
John Mchu. Excuse me.
- [30:23]
A
We're coming up on, like, Wicked for good. Stupid title.
- [30:27]
B
Yeah, agreed. Wicked for good.
- [30:29]
A
Saw a headline about it today about, like, John M. Chu doing with For Good.
- [30:32]
B
I'm like, so what was the first one called? Just Wicked.
- [30:35]
A
Wicked. And then this is Wicked for good.
- [30:39]
B
Why are you saying it like that? Wicked for good.
- [30:41]
A
There's no, like, there's no rule of how I have to say it.
- [30:44]
B
It's supposed to be said, like, wicked for good.
- [30:47]
A
For good.
- [30:48]
B
I have been changed for good. For good. Morning, millennials.
- [30:57]
A
I've been changed for good.
- [30:59]
B
For good. And you better believe it. Yeah, it almost is wicked season where everybody's gonna be like, so annoying. Myself included. Like, I love the movie. I just like. It's kind of how I feel about Taylor Swift. Like, obsessed with Taylor Swift. Obsessed with what she does. But, like, the way people act around her, like, is really not like you.
- [31:17]
A
Want to enjoy it by yourself. Like, in a room, by yourself, in a vacuum. Yeah. Like, it's the fanfare that bothers you.
- [31:23]
B
The fanfare makes me, like, hate the thing. Even though Wigan is so good.
- [31:27]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [31:29]
B
But it's like the collabs. Everybody getting dressed up, thinking they're like, special. You're not.
- [31:33]
A
Yeah, the tiktoks.
- [31:36]
B
Right.
- [31:36]
A
No, that I like.
- [31:37]
B
I can't lie.
- [31:37]
A
Which ones?
- [31:39]
B
Like A comet pulled from Marbit as it passes the sun. Oh, wait. We need. We need to talk about kind of something major.
- [31:50]
A
About us.
- [31:51]
B
Mm.
- [31:52]
A
What do we do now?
- [31:54]
B
It's not what we did. It's almost what we're not gonna do.
- [32:05]
A
Halloween. Yeah. Halloween is really. It could happen. Not like I. We probably won't be podcasting together on Halloween.
- [32:15]
B
Right.
- [32:16]
A
But I think that it's okay. It's not like we had an idea yet.
- [32:19]
B
One, we didn't. And I'm not worried. Like, I will put Ben to work.
- [32:23]
A
Two, I expect that Ben will do it. And, like, he's so excited that you're.
- [32:26]
B
Not going to do it.
- [32:27]
A
As far as understudy, I think it's great. I think it will bring, like, a freshness to Toaster for sure.
- [32:34]
B
It's just the first time ever.
- [32:36]
A
Yeah, but.
- [32:37]
B
And I'm not upset. I think it'll be good. I think it'll be great. But, like, that's kind of our thing.
- [32:41]
A
I know, but I am excited for the potential because you guys could. You could do siblings, but you could also do, like, a married couple. Like, it just opens up more.
- [32:48]
B
Now Ben has, like, literally begged me already to do Jeffrey and Ina, and I'm just letting you know I'm not doing it. One, because we already dressed up as them, whereas Ben was Ina and I was Jeffrey.
- [32:56]
A
Yeah. It would have been good.
- [32:58]
B
We already did it. Oh, should I do it? And then we can cut this out?
- [33:01]
A
Well, now it's too late.
- [33:02]
B
No, no.
- [33:02]
A
But we could talk about, like, how it would have been good and if it's, like, if your heart's not in it, like, you really have to, like, be the one driving it. But I just want to say, like, everyone would have loved that.
- [33:10]
B
Okay. By the way, so maybe we just bleep what I said. Yeah, we'll put bleeps.
- [33:18]
A
Or if we leave it in, people will think, like, okay, of course they're not doing it. And then if you do it, people will be supporting Christ.
- [33:25]
B
We'll see. We'll decide after if this whole conversation gets cut. Okay, but what should Benight be for Halloween? Sound off in the comments.
- [33:34]
A
So exciting. So much potential.
- [33:36]
B
We'll really miss you dearly.
- [33:38]
A
I'll enjoy watching it.
- [33:41]
B
And maybe, like, if you're. You could just, like, get dressed up and, like, take a picture or something.
- [33:44]
A
Yeah, I might, like, I might be able to join. I don't really know.
- [33:47]
B
Right.
- [33:47]
A
But we're preparing for all eventualities.
- [33:50]
B
Of course. We're extremely prepared.
- [33:51]
A
Yes. Are you Ready for our next story?
- [33:54]
B
What number four? No, right? No. Because it is.
- [34:00]
A
Look at me.
- [34:01]
B
Hey, look at me. Is it our fourth story that's brought to you? Bye bye Hart?
- [34:09]
A
Yes, it is. Our lives are brought to you by. By Heart.
- [34:13]
B
So pieheart is an infant nutrition company built from the ground up to deliver real innovation on behalf of babies and parents. Their mission is very simple. They just want the best formula in the world. So they use the latest breast milk science. Byard has created a clinically proven, easy to digest infant formula that's made with organic grass fed whole milk, certified clean ingredients and features a patented protein blend that gets closest to breast milk. And this year they're launching the formula that answers, which is their campaign inspired to end. Inspired to, you know, acknowledge the endless questioning that comes with being a parent. So as a first time mama myself, I feel like I'm finally getting out of the stage where I'm so paranoid about everything. Even though like literally the other day I like took the sheet off of Ruby's mattress. I'm like, it's gonna suffocate him. Like, just like, you're so powered and there's no proof. Like, he's fine.
- [34:58]
A
No, you just like had an idea in your head and you're like, that's can't go.
- [35:02]
B
That's the truth. That's reality.
- [35:04]
A
Yeah.
- [35:04]
B
And so by heart, like fully understands that and that's what I really appreciate about them as a formula company, that they put their whole by hussy into their formula and they only offer one type of formula, which makes me feel so good because if they had multiple and they were like, they're all the best, well, which well would be the.
- [35:19]
A
Best and one would be the second best kind of how it works and one would be the third best.
- [35:24]
B
So I really appreciate that. They literally like spent years studying, creating this one formula that they swear by and there's so many different facts about it that make it parchy. Like it is made with grass fed whole milk. It has clean, certified, certified clean ingredients and a patented protein blend that gets closest to breast milk. They're modeling it after breast milk. Obviously, I'm a big fan of breast milk and you know, me and my clog, we respect the shit, whatever it takes. So the fact that it's a formula company aimed at sort of mimicking that and getting it as close as it can, I really love. And I also recently met the founders. They were so nice, so smart siblings and they started this company like it was so genuine. You know what I mean like their parents themselves. It's the formula that answers, because you're going to question everything except for this. So buy hard the formula that answers.

A
Thank you so much, Tur Tart.

B
You're welcome.
- [36:32]
A
Our fourth story. I don't know if you've seen this, but I'm kind of obsessed because Zooey Deschanel and her property brother.
- [36:37]
B
Of course I saw it.
- [36:38]
A
John Scott's New York City home was featured in Architectural Digest, which.
- [36:43]
B
Wait, that was New York City?
- [36:44]
A
Yeah, Right.
- [36:46]
B
It was enormous. I thought it was like a palatial estate in Los Angeles. Are you sure?
- [36:49]
A
New York City. I don't know what neighborhood, but it was an abandoned office building.
- [36:56]
B
So I recently started following Architectural Digest on Instagram. And I have to say two things about it. It is so enhanced in my life. Like, I really enjoy it, but also, they're so thirsty, being like, here's a celebrity's house. Shop our dupes using our affiliate links. Like, it's giving, desperate.
- [37:09]
A
Oh, and also, like, they used a designer for their house and they're like, it was an AD100 designer. Like, as if, like, they know, by the way.
- [37:17]
B
No, you're wrong. So 80 100. I've actually learned a lot about, like, 80100 is when you're an interior designer and you make that list. It is like, the biggest stamp of approval.
- [37:26]
A
Yeah.
- [37:26]
B
So when architectural dye just, like.
- [37:31]
A
Features.
- [37:31]
B
Your house and then your Designer was also AD100. It's nice synergy, but it's not like, it's not a scam.
- [37:37]
A
No, I didn't think it was a scam. I just felt like they were trying to be like, yeah, yeah, we like him, too. He's 8100. Like that. And he got it.
- [37:43]
B
Oh, giving, desperate.
- [37:44]
A
Yeah, giving like, hey, look at me. He's 80.
- [37:47]
B
Yeah. I'm telling you, they're desperate.
- [37:48]
A
They couldn't talk about the designer without saying he's 8100 now.
- [37:52]
B
This house was amazing. I have so much to say about it. I'll actually pull up the feature. We can look through the photos together. But it was just a reminder that Zoe Deschanel married a property brother it is by far the craziest pop culture crossover in history. And the fact that they, like, started dating, and it wasn't just, like, a funny, kooky thing, like, they got married. It's giving, like, Sarah and Wells from the Bachelor.
- [38:10]
A
Yeah. And then, of course, like, he's a contractor by trade, and, like, that's his job, but he's also, like, a TV contractor. But seeing this project and, like, the high level that he contracted at for his home with his movie star wife was really, really impressive. And she was also talking about how he used, like, a lot of his chops and his contacts. And, like, being married to a contractor is, like, so pargy. But it's just, like, funny how he's not just a TV contractor. Like, things he built. That this house is insanely beautiful. That ad, like, it's very elevated to.
- [38:40]
B
The shit he does on hgtv. Like, not to be a bitch, but it's, like, small and ugly compared to this.
- [38:45]
A
Yeah, no, but it's just, like, more, like, relatable and affordable cookie cutter. And this was just, like, on another level. And I also feel like Architectural Digest, they feature, like, tons of celebrities. Everyone has nice style, but a lot of people have, like, very similar style. Like, very modern. Very.
- [38:57]
B
Yes.
- [38:58]
A
You know, warm woods and beige and whatever's trending right now, which is beautiful. The trends are beautiful, but I have not seen a feature like this in a while of something that was, like, unique. Because plenty of people do unique. And it's like, fudgeing, weird, ugly. Unique and unreal. Like, beautiful.
- [39:19]
B
The photos are insane. Like, so colorful. So really, you're right. Like, the polar opposite of every celebrity's house. And yes, like, he put his whole contract to see into this one. Like, I. I didn't know he was. I know he's a property mother and a contractor by trade, but, like, I did not know he could operate at this level.
- [39:35]
A
Yeah, yeah. Like, he's gorgeous. He did his big one. So they did a video taking everyone on the tour. Like, every room is just more special than the next. Like, moldings on moldings, details on details. Like, between the designer, the AD100 designer, and the property brother himself and Zoe, because this really feels like Zoe's taste.
- [39:55]
B
Personality, like, the quirky.
- [39:56]
A
If he were built. If, like, property were building his own house, I don't know that it would look like this.
- [40:02]
B
Right.
- [40:03]
A
If she was building her own house, it would look like this. It just might have been, like, a different contractor if he weren't her husband. But the fact that he got this job done. Like, Damn, I'm impressed.
- [40:11]
B
100. It's so gorgeous. And I can't believe that this is in New York. I never would have pegged them as people who lived in New York.
- [40:18]
A
They're so bizarre. Like, just.
- [40:21]
B
They are so weird.
- [40:23]
A
No, but in a good way. They're just so unexpected and, like, of course they're gonna have a beautiful home. Like, she's a movie star and he's a contractor, but, like, right. They're just like. It was above and beyond. I was really, really impressed. I feel like everyone was. Because I keep seeing. I don't follow either of them. I actually don't even follow Architectural Digest. And I keep seeing the content. I feel like it's really going viral. Like, everyone is really, like, taken with this apartment. You should check it out.
- [40:45]
B
It's insanely gorgeous. We sound like we work for Architectural Digest, but we literally don't. It's. It's just. It's shocking how different and. And really beautiful it is. And then it's just a reminder that these two not only, like, dated, but are married and have built a life together. A home.
- [41:00]
A
The apartment's, like, really a fusion of. Of the two of them. And that's.
- [41:03]
B
It's true. Like, his skills. Her style and quirkiness and her craftsmanship.
- [41:09]
A
Her florals. It's really, really cute. Really, really cool. Maybe I'll follow AD now. You're saying it's a good follow.
- [41:18]
B
I do. But just be prepared to be spammed with a lot of affiliate links.
- [41:21]
A
Well, I like to shop.
- [41:24]
B
Yeah. It's actually so true. Jackie's gonna be, like, their number one customer on their.
- [41:29]
A
Yeah. As long as they're giving me the goods, like, and it's. You know, my Style.
- [41:36]
B
Digest is not. It's, like, very abstract.
- [41:38]
A
No.
- [41:39]
B
But I think it's very colorless.
- [41:40]
A
I think it should be, like, all styles.
- [41:42]
B
It is, actually. It is.
- [41:43]
A
And so every once in a while, like, it will be my style.
- [41:47]
B
Yeah.
- [41:47]
A
Yeah. Or at least just, like, impressive and something to behold.
- [41:51]
B
Different.
- [41:52]
A
Something new.
- [41:53]
B
Yeah.
- [41:55]
A
Anyways, mazel to the properties. Zoe and Jonathan Property.
- [41:59]
B
Yeah. And, like, justice for the other property. Well, you know, there's a third property, brother, that's, like, not famous.
- [42:05]
A
Yeah. But there's also a second one who's no longer famous. Right.
- [42:08]
B
Who? Right. Left behind.
- [42:10]
A
What's his name?
- [42:12]
B
Well, which one is she married to?
- [42:14]
A
Jonathan Drew. Drew property.
- [42:19]
B
Drew property.
- [42:20]
A
Yeah.
- [42:22]
B
What is Property Brethren.
- [42:24]
A
What is his last name? I honestly don't even want to.
- [42:26]
B
Scott. Scott to Me?
- [42:27]
A
It's Property. Because they're the Property brothers, just like.
- [42:30]
B
We'Re the Ashrae sisters, Drew and Jonathan property.
- [42:35]
A
So, Mrs. Zoe property.
- [42:37]
B
Zoe Property. Yeah.
- [42:41]
A
Are you ready for our fifth and final story? It's a little book news, a little book tech news, a little book club tech news.
- [42:50]
B
Okay.
- [42:51]
A
I don't think you've heard it. Reese Witherspoon's book club has partnered with WhatsApp for chats about books. So Reese Witherspoon's monthly book club has teamed up with WhatsApp.
- [43:02]
B
This is like, such a fifth and final. On a Friday story.
- [43:06]
A
To connect with more of its readers globally. With the partnership, Reese's Book club members can use the private messaging app to chat through the latest book club selections, exchange voice notes, and discuss plot theories with other readers. Okay, that was cute. Until voicemail notes. Because, like, they're all strangers, you know?
- [43:21]
B
No, this is honestly so sick. Like, this. This is so cool.
- [43:27]
A
They're all strangers in a chat, but. Hello. Sunshine's SVP of brands and strategic partnerships said Reese's Book Club has become a cultural force, curating books that bring joy and champion women's voices. WhatsApp gives our community the space to stay connected, share their love of reading, and turn book moments into lasting relationships. So it's a Facebook group which, like.
- [43:44]
B
The redheads already happen without the toxicity.
- [43:46]
A
Well, we already have one at the Redhead, so, like, been there, done that. Yeah.
- [43:50]
B
Welcome, Reese.
- [43:52]
A
Welcome to the 21st century. We've been here.
- [43:54]
B
Yeah, I guess. Like, I get it. And the thing is, like, Reese, hello, Sunshine. Like, they're worth over a billion dollars, like, purchased by BlackRock. So, like, we can make fun of them all we want. But, like, one thing, they did that.
- [44:05]
A
Yeah. And I think it's cute, like, for community books chat.
- [44:10]
B
It is. Like, until, you know, it turns into, like, some sort of, like, it always every. Remember when they said, like, Taylor Swift launched an app, like, but back in her lover era, like, her flop era was, like, a swift happen in terms of, like, a neo Nazi platform. She had to shut it down, and then, like, you know, it can turn in, like, to antifa. Like, that's what's gonna happen. Yeah, it's gonna be a WhatsApp. It's gonna. This one sounds like Reese's, like, like, really crazy. Like, female. Like, almost like, toast Facebook energy. Like, toxic women. I feel like it could stink of that, honestly.
- [44:38]
A
I agree. Good luck to you guys.
- [44:41]
B
Online forums. Like, one thing about Reese, I know, like, you know more than me, but I do Know a lot about the Internet. Like, I just wouldn't recommend getting into, like, online community building.
- [44:48]
A
Yeah, no, I would agree. And then there's like, people's phone numbers are, like, just right there. Right.
- [44:55]
B
So much information.
- [44:56]
A
And the voice note feature.
- [44:58]
B
And a lot of people also, like, put their. Like, WhatsApp. I don't use it a lot, but people, like, really use it as their primary messaging platform. And you have like a profile. You put a picture, like, with you and your kids, like, almost like Facebook kind of. So I don't know. It's a lot of information to give to a bunch of randos.
- [45:12]
A
Like, to talk about a book, but I do the thing about reading is, like, I love to talk about it with people. So, like, yeah, I guess it could be fun if it's kept pure. I don't have a lot of hope. Big if don't have a lot of hope.
- [45:25]
B
So let's dive into our final segment of the week, queenie and weenie of the week, where every Friday, Jackie and I like to, you know, wrap up the week with a bow, Take a look back at a glance at what happened this week and give her give out two awards. Queenie of the week and weenie of the week. Queenie of the week is just like what it sounds like. Were you a queenie this week? You might be queenie of the week. Were you weenie of the week? You might be weenie of the week. We're gonna start positive with queenie. Jackie, who is your queenie?
- [45:43]
A
My queenie. I don't know if my queenie is even in the room with us today, but it's Daniel from dear media.
- [45:49]
B
My queenie is also Daniel from dear media. He is not in the room with us today.
- [45:52]
A
Oh.
- [45:53]
B
But I spoke to him this morning and he was like, living for his, like, new online Persona. He's like, everybody knows, like, I'm Daniel.
- [46:00]
A
Will he be back next week, do you think? Like, yeah, turns.
- [46:04]
B
Carolina's here. She's partialicious. We are. We're swapping. Like, Josh will be here. Caitlyn. Yeah, I'm just kind of like, I have a lot of producers because I have a huge show here at Tierney.
- [46:13]
A
Yeah, there's a lot to produce.
- [46:14]
B
There's a lot of production that needs to be done. So while today. But let me tell you, Daniel was in here, like, up until we were chatting. Like, he's so swirly. Like, right up until he's probably so excited the episode. He was also my queenie of the week.
- [46:28]
A
Okay, so then he's totally the queenie. He's the unanimous queenie.
- [46:33]
B
And I have decided to speak by truth on my weenie.
- [46:35]
A
I'm gonna do my weenie first because I feel like our weenies might be related. So I just want to, like, get mine out first and then you can dig in on the specificity of yours, because my weenie is the entire city of Denver.
- [46:46]
B
Okay. That was about to be my weenie until I found this one.
- [46:49]
A
And what they put forth on Love is Blind this season, it's really not looking good for the people of Denver. And I think I wouldn't even want to single out one person in the cast because I think that they've all really contributed to the loseriness. The concerning nature of Denver's portrayal on Love is blindness season.
- [47:07]
B
And the Denver Board of Tourism, like, should actually put a stop. Like, this will have a negative impact.
- [47:14]
A
Send a cease and desist to Netflix. Like, you can't play the rest of these episodes.
- [47:19]
B
So mine is of the same nature. I saw a tik tok this morning that pissed me off so much, and it's super viral. And, yes, it was made by, like, not a famous person. So normally I wouldn't make them weenie of the week, but I'm sorry, the girl who made this tik tok is my weenie of the week. The funny thing is her username is Big Wiener Energy. Okay.
- [47:37]
A
Okay.
- [47:37]
B
She made a tick tock. And it was supposed to be like, you know, always when they have a new season of some reality show, being like, I knew him, and he was mean to me in high school. People love to make their bones. And increasingly, people have used it as, like, a ploy for followers, a ploy for engagement. And the crimes that they're, like, accusing these people of are less and less. And in this particular video, what she accuses. So this girl I'm gonna play for you guys, she says she went on a couple of dates with the guy, Joe, who's on the season of Love is Blind. And here's what happened.
- [48:05]
A
Ready? Not even my favorite guy. Like, not even someone I feel compelled to defend. But now I do.
- [48:10]
B
To be clear, I'm not 100 sure if he's the one who's with Annie or Madison. I don't even know who Joe is.
- [48:14]
A
Madison. Spoiler alert.
- [48:16]
C
Okay, so I live in Denver, and about a year and a half, maybe two years ago, I went on a couple dates with Joe from Love is Blind. And he, at the time, like, ultimately broke things off of with me because he Wasn't ready for a relationship. At least that's what he told me. He may.
- [48:29]
A
What? The difference between a year and a half and two years in the context of this is actually a very big difference. You should probably just like let us know. That's a big six month difference. Continue.
- [48:39]
B
I'm just gonna rewind 10 seconds.
- [48:40]
A
Okay.
- [48:40]
C
About a year and a half, maybe two years ago, I went on a couple dates with Joe from Love is Blind and he at the time, like ultimately broke things off of me because he wasn't ready for a relationship. At least that's what he told me. He maybe just didn't like me. Whatever. I just think it's so funny because at the time they would have just been like casting and beginning filming this season of Love is Blind. So dude was literally telling girls that he was dating. I don't know if he was dating other girls, but he was telling me that he wasn't ready for a relationship. Meanwhile, like, I don't know, maybe two, three months later, he was getting engaged.
- [49:10]
B
After he said he wasn't ready for a relationship.
- [49:12]
C
Again, he probably just didn't like me and that was his excuse. But I think it's hilarious.
- [49:17]
A
Lock him up.
- [49:19]
B
So I have so many thoughts on why this makes this girl the biggest Sweeney of the week.
- [49:23]
A
Well, yeah, because we're all just like, well, it sounds like he didn't like you and he just tried to let you down in like a non offensive way, of course.
- [49:29]
B
And since when when you break up with someone do you have to be like so completely honest? Like that's actually hurtful. Saying I'm not ready for a relationship is actually the nice thing to do. Like whatever he was thinking, he probably was not a match and that's totally fine. So like you coming on here being like, well, and then he signed up for a show where he's supposed to get engaged and it's like, oh my God. The guy who went on reality TV is maybe not really wanted to get married. Maybe just wants to be on reality tv. Like, grow up, up. I don't even like this guy Joe. But I'm over here defending him.
- [49:51]
A
Like, that's so.
- [49:52]
B
And the comments are like, girl, I'm so sorry that happened to you. This man is not safe.
- [49:57]
A
No safe, but it's really like exposing oneself because anyone.
- [50:02]
B
I opened the comments and I was so ready for everybody to be on my side. Oh my God, no. They were like, girl, like, I heard this happen to a friend of mine too.
- [50:08]
A
But like anyone who cares that it's like, okay. He obviously was trying to let you down easy and tell you something that you wouldn't take personally offensive. Like, that's something that you. You don't meet the one and then say, I'm not ready like you. But you can say that, like, if you just want to give someone the boot, he didn't go.
- [50:23]
B
It's what you say.
- [50:24]
A
It's. It's a. It's a thing to say, that it makes it so the person doesn't have to, like, look inward and be like, oh, what was wrong with you? No, he should be like, I. I don't like you, and you're not funny and this and that. No.
- [50:33]
B
And the trope of, like, somebody getting famous and then people from their past like, coming forward. You know, it used to happen a lot on the Bachelor. And actually when it did happen, because it was less frequent, it was kind of like a bombshell. They would reveal. It was always, like, in People magazine. Now it's taken its form, like on TikTok, where anybody that's ever met this person has an experience that it's less than flattering. They go and they attempt to destroy this person. And that person's like, the victim. I'm sorry. Literally, this man did absolutely nothing to you. You, in my opinion, are not a villain. Now making this tick tock, like, trying to make your bones off of what, like, people hating him. Weenie of the century, right?
- [51:06]
A
Also, just timeline wise, even if what she's saying is true and she's like. And so he's telling girls. I mean, I don't know if he was seeing other girls. Oh, right.
- [51:14]
B
So she keeps making these accusations. Have just said that because he didn't like me. Yes, entirely possible. Well, he might have not been dating other girls. Yes, entirely possible. All of her caveats are beyond important, right?
- [51:23]
A
She, like, threw it out there. Like, he's saying this to a bunch of girls a few months before going on a serious dating show. But, like, actually, we only know that he said it to you. And. And what's the few months? Is it two months or it could be eight months?
- [51:34]
B
Like, is it a year and a half or is it two years? Like, it's kind of important, these little details if you're going to make, like, huge accusations.
- [51:41]
A
So, like, he went on a couple dates with you, it didn't work out, and then six months later, starts this show, right? Or longer than that or shorter than that or shorter, starts a show to, like, try and meet someone that they went.
- [51:55]
B
He told her he Wasn't ready for a relationship around the time that they started casting. So that three months later, he ends up getting engaged because he got on the show.
- [52:03]
A
Yeah.
- [52:04]
B
And okay, so let's say. Let's say he just wanted to be on the show. That's like, everyone. Why is that? Is that some big drama?
- [52:11]
A
Right, Right.
- [52:13]
B
That's just in the world we live in. Like, aren't we over that? Like, not here for the right reasons? Nobody is.
- [52:17]
A
I think that you could also just, like, be there for both reasons. Like, I would love to find. Yeah, I would love to find my soulmate. If that happens from the show, I'm, like, very open to it. That would be awesome. If that doesn't happen, I don't expect that it will happen because the odds of that happening are really slim. It would be fun to be on TV and get followers, like, well, and.
- [52:35]
B
Let'S not also discount how important. Integral to the enjoyment and entertainment of the show. The people who are not there for the right reasons are, like, that's what we're all talking about always. It's not. The people who, like, you know, are in love. We're like, great, we're happy for you. We're always talking about, like, the crazy people. The people who clearly, like, aren't into their partner. That's what makes the TV interesting. So they're. I'm so over that whole, like, they're not here for the right reason.
- [52:54]
A
Like, moving in that way. He's not even being that interesting. His crime is not that he doesn't want to get married. It's that he doesn't want to get married to Madison, to this girl.
- [53:02]
B
Right.
- [53:04]
A
But I think it's, like, very normal for someone to go on the show, like, wishing and hoping that it works out, but expecting that it won't and just, like.
- [53:12]
B
And just doing it because, like, it's a fun thing to do.
- [53:15]
A
Yeah. But, like. And it's just another way to try and meet someone. But, like, when you think about how many people go through casting, how many people make it to the show and then how many people make it to engagements and how many people get married and stay married, it's. The odds are not in your favor.
- [53:28]
B
Tiniest.
- [53:28]
A
So, like, yeah, I'm down for that to happen, but I also expect that it probably won't. Yeah.
- [53:36]
B
So that's my Winnie of the Week. And honestly, after talking it through, I stand by it.
- [53:40]
A
Yeah. I just feel like if you find yourself, like, someone that, you know, vaguely is on TV and then you find yourself like, making it about you. It's just. It's not my favorite. No.
- [53:53]
B
And like, every now and then somebody does come forward with, like, a crazy thing that happened and stories like this, like tick tocks going viral. Like this, like, really discount. Like, the good ones. Well, not good. You know what I mean? Like the juicier ones.
- [54:03]
A
Yeah. The ones we need to know about.
- [54:05]
B
Correct.
- [54:06]
A
Like, perfect saying it.
- [54:09]
B
Who's that?
- [54:10]
A
Chelsea and Trevor. Like, remember he was all but her brokenhearted when she chose Jimmy.
- [54:14]
B
Yeah. When he had like, a mullet.
- [54:15]
A
Like a girlfriend.
- [54:16]
B
A fiance. Yeah.
- [54:19]
A
Like, yeah, if you have a fiance. I want to hear from her.
- [54:22]
B
Agreed. If I went on a date with you a couple of times and it didn't work out, respectfully, take a sit down.
- [54:27]
A
Even if we broke up a couple of weeks before filming started, like, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Like, life happens.
- [54:34]
B
That happens a lot. That happened with Lauren last season. Remember, like, Dave was like a friend of mine knows a guy you were seeing a couple of weeks before and they villainized her so bad. Who gives a shit? These are young people trying to find their life partner.
- [54:45]
A
That's what you do. And, like, the show starts filming now. Maybe it would be like better looking if in three months I go up in time for the show. But, like, you can't wait around.
- [54:55]
B
Life happens.
- [54:56]
A
You're not like. So, yeah, you can say I am putting all the past behind me. Even if the past is two weeks ago and I'm starting anew and I'm going into the pods and I want to meet someone. Tabula rasa. I can like, I could see how that is possible.
- [55:09]
C
Yeah.
- [55:09]
A
What came before doesn't matter. What is that? What's the lyric from Life of a Showgirl?
- [55:18]
B
What it.
- [55:18]
A
What's where the hell you've been? Because now you're mine.
- [55:23]
B
Oh, yes. That's it.
- [55:25]
A
That's it. Yeah.
- [55:26]
B
