A
Good morning, millennials.
B
Welcome back to the toast and Happy Monday. And, boy, does it feel like a Monday. We have mountains to climb.
A
We've got mountains to move, but it doesn't feel like a Monday because it's very exciting.
B
Because we're feeling joyful.
A
We're feeling joyful. I can't even imagine how you're feeling. I'm just gonna throw to Turdy because it's Turdy's big.
B
Let me tell you how I'm feeling. Literally, I was in the bathtub last night, like, after, you know, my whirlwind announcement.
A
And do you want to just announce for anyone who's, like, not on social media, but only. Only listens to.
B
Oh, my God, there are, like, a couple of people like that. Yes. So I shared on my social media yesterday, perhaps you guys aren't aware, but I am with child. I am pregnant. Yeah, that's right. Evan is baby. And yes, she is. Yesterday we finally told people. Like, seriously, you guys have no. Like, not to make everything about me, but, like, today is exclusively about me. So seriously, don't even bother. You know, like, Jackie, I agree, but you just.
A
You just hit him with a. We finally told people.
B
Oh, my God. Ew. I did.
A
You're a we.
B
I'm not a we. I feel even stronger about the lack of we now that I. I've been through this. But I guess, like, we did tell people yesterday, because Ben was calling up. You know, I had, like, I had a couple of people to call. Oh, my God. Ben was like, all right, I gotta call. How many friends do you have?
A
And it was a collab post, so it was a.
B
It was a way. We finally told people. You guys, seriously, nobody knows how hard this has been for me. Like, I. I think those who know.
A
You, and that's literally everyone who listens to the show knows you inside and out. Like, knows that this was probably so hard for you on so many levels.
B
The hardest secret I ever had to keep. And. And seriously, when you and Olivia had both gotten pregnant, there's something special about the first time. Every time is special, of course, but the first time, like, really hits different. And you had told me, like, I remember struggling so much. Like, I actually got drunk and told a couple of people. Like, I said, like, I didn't even keep the secret. Well, I just told people that I could trust now with my own secret. I can't get drunk. So I really, like, was not telling people. Oh, my God. I don't think I actually knew how much of a burden it Was on me until I let it go last night. Like, I was in the tub after, and Ben, when I got out, Ben was like, you were singing so loud in the tub. And, like, I haven't been singing, like, obviously on the toast. I have. Cause I had to pretend. And. Oh, remember when I said I could never be an actor? Lies. I'm an amazing actress. I could totally do it. I don't think I realized what, like, a weight this was carrying on me. Not only, like, one, I'm a joyous person. I like to chat and share positive news like that.
A
Right.
B
Also, you know, I don't, like, keep information to myself that, well. It's not one of my skills. And three, I talk for a living. Like, and there's so much going on in your life when this, like, new thing happens, and to just sit here and, like, that's why we've been talking about food so much. Like, what the hell else is there to talk about? Oh, my God, if I didn't tell you guys one second sooner than I already did, like, I was seriously going to explode.
A
No, that's the hardest part. The first trimester is so isolating, whether or not you do a podcast, because you're, like, going through all this stuff and you can't talk about it. And so I feel like that's the reason you want to share most publicly soonest is, like, to talk about what's going on with you.
B
Not only that, the isolating part is so real. And I don't. I know. And in Judaism, we're very superstitious. So, like, so then if you're, like, you know, following all the rules of Judaism, you're, like, nine months pregnant, pretending like you're not, and everybody around you just acts like, oh, how you feel. Like, no one's really. I couldn't do that. And I, like, obviously immediately told, like, my immediate family and Ben's immediate family. And, like, obviously having you guys has been such a. Such an outlet for me. I can't. But I also just had to tell my friend Margot Fish, like, pretty early, and I trust her implicitly. So, like, it wasn't about that. I just, like, needed someone to talk to in such a real way. And I'm so glad that I did. Like, I didn't tell a million people, but, like, I needed an outlet. I needed a friend, and that's, like, the person I talked to the most outside of my family. So, like, I felt really good about that. And I'll get into the details. You know, nausea, fascia. Yes. I've been diagnosed with ibs, tmj. Literally, everything that could, like, befall you has befallen your girl injunction with your coccydenia. And let me tell you, my coccydynia has never been fucking worse. And. And I'm sitting even more. And you know, a way to counteract coccidinia, like, is to be more active. And I seriously not addiction. Walking to lunch, like, is my activity of the day every day. And there was like a period in time I would love to go look at my steps. I lived pretty close to our studio for, like two months straight. Ben drove me every single day. Like, the idea of just putting one foot in front of the other was unfathomable. And like, we sat in so much traffic to go four blocks, like, I didn't fucking care. Like, I could not move. And I need to talk about Ben. Obviously an integral part of this journey. And it's so funny, when we started, like, telling a lot of our friends, so many of the girls were like, oh, my God, isn't it amazing what your body can do? And, like, how much, like, our husbands are so useless. And they totally are. Like, honestly, every time Ben complains, like, literally last night we ate a lot of Chinese food. He's like, I'm so nauseous. And I was like, you're what? Having said that, as much as a husband can do, Ben has done, like, he has been. And I have not been easy. I don't think that's going to come as a surprise to anyone. I'm usually, like, very congruous with the.
A
Woman that we know.
B
I'm usually very bossy from the bed, you know, get me this, get me that, give me this, give me that times 45. Like, seriously, I am an animal. And the mood swings, like the hormones, the rage, you feel, like, at the smallest, like, rage, oh, my God. And Ben has not once held it against me. He just, like, sort of moves on. And I'm so appreciative. And then like every couple of days, I'm like, oh, my God, I'm really sorry. And then, like, the cycle starts over again. I say to Ben, like, I would stop if I could. I literally can't. Like, please leave me alone. He has been so wonderful. And shout out to him, although, you know, if he complains, like, one more fucking time. And just seeing there have been so many things that I wasn't expecting, right? Like, oh, my God, I'm like, I can't even finish a thought. I have so many things to say.
A
No. And we're gonna, like, thoroughly break this down. Like, oh, yeah, Patreon 30 is sat. But that is for later this week. So now just give us the thoughts that you're thinking.
B
When I went on this journey and when I would picture my life pregnant, there were a couple of things I was like, oh, that'll be hard. Obviously. One of them was, like, not drinking. My. I'm very social. I love to drink. Let me tell you, that's been the easiest part. Like, I don't miss drinking at all. Like, hate, hate, hate. I was actually really worried. That was definitely something that I think pushed off my decision to. I love to go out and socialize. I'd love to have a cocktail. It's such a part of my life that I couldn't even imagine my life without that. And seriously, you guys, if you're worried about it, you will not miss it. It seriously makes me sick to even think about it. And I knew I'd have to cut back on certain things. But there's two things specifically that I am living without that I am really deeply struggling with. And on one of them, like, I am cheating.
A
Okay.
B
The first is Advil in general. Like, over the counter medication. I'm very much. Like, I'm a big customer of Big Pharma. Like, I take. I buy everything whenever I have the smallest ailment. It's an Advil, it's an Aleve, it's an Excedrin. I've got them all, love. All of them have been living without. And like, all my little ailments, they're really starting to take me down. Like, I'm not okay.
A
Yeah. That is really an adjustment being able to take medication. You can take Tylenol, but why would you waste your time or your money? Have you taken anything? I had to take Advil after my surge when I was in so much pain and Dr. Fox told me I could take Advil and so I did.
B
And was it amazing?
A
And it was. It was so necessary.
B
Like, Like, I know some and in.
A
Hindsight, like, that, that I was only taking Advil after, like, a major surgery that, like, leaves you in as much pain as, like, childbirth, where you get, like, the horse pills. It made a dent. But anyways also say, like, it was fine.
B
I know that there are, like, some bitches who, like, postmates, like Jimmy John's to the delivery room. Like, I will be postmated Advil. Like, I actually. I don't even need to postmate it.
A
Claudia. They give you the high prescription Advil after And that's what we deserve.
B
That's what we deserve. I love Advil so much. I can't believe.
A
And, like, the 600 milligrams.
B
And I'm really aware of how much Ben takes it because he goes into the bathroom and I hear the bottle rattle. He's always got something, you know, a headache, sinuses. And it's real. That has been something I didn't foresee challenging. Now, the other challenge, I would say my greatest challenge that I have not been able to really stay away from, but I tried really hard, is soda. Obviously, I love soda. Everybody knows that about me. And I always thought, like, you know, if I had to live without soda, I could. But, like, I don't want to. I actually cannot live without it. First of all, it has all of the things that I as a pregnant person need, like bubbles for the nausea, the burping, the taste is so good, and the caffeine. One thing I'm having a major aversion to, which has been really challenging, is coffee. Like you said the day I got pregnant that I have to throw my coffee bead away because it's like cancer in a bottle.
A
It's not even sold in other countries. Like, it's biohazard.
B
And if you guys are curious, I am on the Jackie O. Wellness plan. So I listened to what Jackie says, and then Margot introduced me to Chobani. And so, like, right before I got pregnant, I was like, okay, this job on is a fine substitute. The Chobani. Like, there are a couple of things that I cannot fudge with post pregnancy, post whatever you want to call it. Conception, Chobani, Gilmore Girls. Like, some things just make me.
A
Have you been making that noise?
B
Of course. Every time I take out the trash. And by the way, taking out the trash is no longer my job. Like, it's.
A
Was it your job?
B
Yeah, I'm literally. I'm the housemaid. I do everything. But Ben has completely taken on garbage. And once the garbage gets even remotely full, take it out. I could smell it from my bedroom. Get it out.
A
Yeah.
B
But certain things, and I don't know what it is. My hand soap. Oh, my God, I'm so mad. Like, right before I got pregnant, I wanted to like, really fancify my apartment. And I got all new hand soap and matching cream from the way. You know the hair company. I went somewhere that had the whey cream. I was like, I mean, the way soap. I'm like, oh, man, this is amazing. Got it from my whole. I. If Ben washes his hands in the other room, I could smell it. I say, get back in the shower. I say, get in the shower. I use Dawn. Certain things have, like, seriously crippled me. And the Cho body creamer is one of them. I actually am having a little bit right now because, like, I need. I haven't had coffee in months. Like, a full, proper coffee. I can't remember last time I finished coffee. No.
A
Trying to find the right hand soap is a journey. And then you will, like, that's what you just need unscented. That's why now we use, like, those Dove hand soaps in my house that was a result of, like, pregnancy. Trying to find a hand soap that didn't make one of them. Went to BlackBerry Farm. Everything smelled so good. I was like, I want everything from here. It didn't smell as good.
B
You know, I am. I travel now around my house with my body wash because I actually like the smell of my body wash. And that's what I wash my hands with. And if Ben needs soap, I say go get the body wash. Like, we are just working with what we have.
A
Yeah. It's so crazy, the little thing.
B
Oh, my God.
A
And you forget. I would have forgotten all these things. No.
B
And lest you not, let me tell you, I feel like I've had a very. And I'll get into this more deeply because I think a lot of people were, like, really surprised that I was pregnant because I've had, like, a pretty complicated relationship with, like, when I felt like I was going to be ready. And I've never really been afraid of being a mom. Like, I just know, like, seriously, I'm gonna crush it. Like, these kids love me. Like, oh, my God, could I be more entertaining? But the concept of pregnancy, like, I've always found really intimidating, really daunting, and really unappealing. Like, everything I've heard and I've seen, I'm like, you know what? No. Like, I'm good. And now that I'm on the other side of it, like, I can tell you it is that bad. Like, it really, really is. They. And everybody tries to prepare you, and there's really no. And if I meet one more bitch. How are you feeling? Totally fine. Totally fine. I'm. I've been feeling great. Oh, no. I'm really not nauseous at all.
A
Like, oh, you mean pregnant people who.
B
Say, yeah, I can't. And you know what? There were a couple of people in my life who, like, knew how I felt, and they were like, listen, by the way, it really wasn't that bad. Like, I felt totally fine. And I was like, you know, maybe I'll be one of those girls. Maybe I'll be one of those girls. And I found out I was pregnant so early. Like, how? What? Three weeks, eight days before my missed period, I just took a test because I was gonna have a drink. Like, I wasn't even expecting. So I have known for so long. Where was I going with this thought? Oh, and the first couple of weeks, you really. I felt nothing because I wasn't even supposed to know I was pregnant yet. And I was like, you know what? I'm one of those girls. I was working out. I mean, Hillary, doing the soda. And I was, like, really eating well and feeling good. And I was like, oh, my God. I. Like, it skipped me. Like, I'm crushing crazy. And I was really ready to, like, lean in, you know, really be, like.
A
Courtney, you're going to be one of them who, like, does yoga throughout your.
B
Pregnancy and who loves being pregnant. Like, I'm going to be Kourtney Kardashian. Cut to, like, seriously, Three weeks later, I'm Kim pregnant with North. Like, I'm not okay. I'm huge. I'm sick. Like, I'm feeling every little thing. Like, there's two types of pregnancies, Courtney and Kim, And I'm having a Kim pregnancy. And because I found out so early.
A
Even if you were having, like, a. An actual Courtney pregnancy, like, you would respond to it.
B
Oh, Jackie, let me tell you. I really tried. Like, I really, really tried. And I remember, like, I must have been four weeks pregnant, and I'm, like, walking to the elevator with Ben, and I was like, this is so special. Like, this is probably the only time, like, some. So many times you're pregnant and then you have to, like, raise your other kids. Right? I can't imagine. Oh, my God. Yeah. Like, sounds horrible. So this is, like, one of the only times in my life, like, we'll be able to just, like, really enjoy it. And I'm feeling good. I check it. I tried. I tried to be positive. I tried to lean in to my feminine side. No, thank you.
A
Okay, well, the good news is, as you are now in your second trimester, like, things will start to look up.
B
Yeah, I can't even.
A
And they will get better before they get worse.
B
I can't even really complain about how I feel. Like, right now, I'm so tired. I slept from nine to seven. Like, all I do is go to sleep. But compared to, like, how I felt, like, during the Jewish holidays was, like, some of the worst, worst timing for me. I can't even complain. But I am looking forward. I'm feeling a lot more like myself. And I do think telling people, I don't think I realized how much it was stressing me out. It was just kind of consuming. Like, everything I said on the podcast, could it be taken. Misconstrued?
A
Yeah.
B
I was about to post something the other day, and I was like, I feel like that might be, like, a virtue signal to pregnancy. And then you told me it was because I've been eating so much cereal. So I was like, I was gonna post a story, like, kind of obsessed.
A
With cereal in my cereal.
B
And the box of honeycomb said post on it, and I want it to be like, marjorie, post. Like. And then I was like, hmm, is.
A
This a sign that is a pregnancy crazy?
B
I just don't think I realized, like, how much of a. A toll it was really taking on me. And I really wanted to surprise people and, like, you know, ward off evil eye. Like, we have so many, like, disgusting containers. Like, I just. I don't think I realized how much it really was weighing on me and how much better I feel already. Just, like, having been able to tell people and of course, like, the attention, the likes, the engagement, it does not hurt. I didn't know that many people could see the press. I didn't know that many people could see my post. Where have you guys been all my life? So good to know that your phones do work and that I do come up for you, but you've just been largely ignoring me. That's totally fine. It's totally fine.
A
How's it going on TikTok for you? Because I know that Instagram, like, is very, like, mama friendly and, like, like, mama content really gets out there to the masses.
B
Yeah, I don't think that I am, like, big in the mom community on TikTok yet, so I'm just. I think I'm sort of migrating over there. I've only posted one thing. It did. It did perform pretty well. But I got to get in with those girls, you know, you got to.
A
Get in the algo.
B
Yeah, in the algo, if you will. Oh, and I have something I want to say now. And I'll just sort of. I'll wait for everyone who yelled at us for leaving the ERAS tour early. I'll wait for you guys to apologize. And also, I need to give, like, major shout out and credit to my sister Jackie, who took the entire fall for it when it was me. I was so sick. Probably the Biggest mistake I made in my first trimester was going to the ERAS tour. And that day, I was.
A
You tried not to.
B
I was so sick. And I tried not to go and shout out to Jackie's neighbor Randy, because I gave her my ticket. And then I took it back because we were down there with our friend Margo, Different Margot, who didn't know at the time. She was like, you're not coming. We flew down here for it. And I was like, I'm so sick. And she was like, who fucking cares? Like, get up. And I was like, oh, okay. And then Ben was like, yeah, you should go. We flew all the way down here. Everybody was giving me bad advice.
A
Not me.
B
Yeah. Jackie was like, you should go.
A
I already called Randy. I already gave your ticket away so that you couldn't go back on it. And then she went back, and then.
B
10 minutes later, like, I took it back, and I'm really sorry, Randy. That was, like, actually unbelievably uncool of me. And I've been meaning to tell you to, like, explain to her why I took the ticket back.
A
I will. Okay.
B
So I decided to go. And I had a good time, but, like, halfway through, I really started to break down. Like, heat, sweat, nausea, exhaustion. Like, I don't even know. And by the end, I was texting Ben. I was like. And we still had this huge walk to the car. I was breaking down the next day. I slept the entire day. I felt so sick. I actually had such a pit. I was like, what am I doing? Like, this is so, like, much more important than a ticket. Like, I felt really silly. And then when we started getting so much hate about leaving early, I was like, oh, these bitches don't even know. And they obviously assumed it was Jackie. Like, hater Jackie, hating every minute of it. When it was literally me, I was like, we leave earlier, but we couldn't. Our friend Margot didn't know. So I was, like, trying to be normal. And it was just. I know I went to the ERA tour for one reason, and the reason was. And I talked about this in the vlog, and we are not sharing the gender yet, but I definitely, like, have a preference when it comes to gender, and that's a boy.
A
Based on gender.
B
That's bad to say, but, like, it is. Like, that's. What's the preference? And I don't know. The idea of having a daughter just, like, it didn't seem. I was like, I don't know. Like, I can't see it. I can't see It.
A
Yeah.
B
And then when we went to the ERAS tour, there were so many moms with their young daughters, like, having so much fun getting dressed up. I'm like, oh, that's what I'll do. That's me. I can see it. So I feel like, for that reason alone, I'm glad I went to the ERAS tour because it helped me visualize a potential. Potential possibility. But other than that, like, big mistake. Huge. It is no place for a woman in her first trimester. The jumping, the dancing, the. And also, I'm, like, first, for the first time, really very sensitive to, like, being around a lot of people. They're getting sick. Like, I don't know. I just. It was a mistake, but. But I learned a valuable lesson, so I'm glad that I went.
A
Yeah. That's so good.
B
Yeah. I just wanted to.
A
And we're just. Wait on those apologies.
B
Yeah. Seriously, you guys. You just.
A
Seriously. You never know what someone's going through. And isn't that what we're always trying to tell you? Trust your.
B
I know. And you really thought the worst of Jacks. It was. All the hate was directed towards you, and I just sort of sat there and let you take it. And you're a queen for taking it.
A
Happy to absorb it for my girl.
B
But that's what was really going on. Like, I was, like, dying, breaking down.
A
Well, we are so, so happy for you.
B
I just really.
A
We are so excited to hear updates from you on how you're feeling and your POV on the whole thing, because I agree with you. Like, I. Your readiness has always been, like, a topic of conversation. I feel like, the way that you felt about certain people when they got pregnant, that being, like, a big. A mover and shaker for you.
B
Let me think.
A
I feel like you are that to a lot of people.
B
That's sweet. Thank you. I'm trying to think, like, who moved me and shaked me the most.
A
Yeah. When, like, someone got pregnant and you're like, oh, I know.
B
Like, that Haley Bieber moved me quite a bit. Like, who's cooler and more fabulous than her? Who else? I don't know. It. It was a. It was largely about. It was. It was about that, but it was. I feel like a lot of it had to do with my weight. There was, like, a time in my life where it was just inconceivable that I would get pregnant. Like, I'm five feet. I'm so huge, and I'm. What, I'm gonna gain another 50, 60 pounds? Like, I couldn't physically bear it. So that's a huge part of my personal journey. Not everybody has the problems that I did, but for me, for a lot of years it was like, so not even in the realm of possibility. Honestly, I couldn't even see it.
A
Yeah, no, that makes total sense.
B
And like, I don't even want to talk about my weight currently. Like I. I keep saying everyone, I'm such a liar. I'm like, you know, I've made peace with it. Like, whatever. Like, I literally have it. I'm so mad.
A
So, like, you'll never fully make peace with it, but, like, you will become peaceful about it and it will just. It won't. It is what it is.
B
Let me say one thing, actually, one positive.
A
When you start, when you start showing, that's also the hard thing about the first trimester. Like, yes, maybe the third trimester is like even more enduring physically. But like, you're showing and it's beautiful and everyone knows around you, like, even strangers know. Like, take heed.
B
Literally. Last weekend me and Ben went for a walk. We went to a diner. At the end of the walk, like, if I don't eat, I'm really not okay. Like in home goods the other day I seriously almost threw up. But I was so. And of course they didn't have a table. They were like five minutes. So there's a chair. I take the chair. I'm like trying, just breathing, like, trying not to pass away on this chair. And this like 900 year old man comes and I know everyone's looking at me like, get up for the man. No men get up for me. Like I was. If I had stood up in that time, I would have completely fainted. And I felt so guilty. That's the hard part about not showing. But the thing I want to say about my body, which I literally my whole life have hated, like, still hate. The one positive thing I will say is that I've always hated my stomach. Like, it has just been the bane of my existence. Like, like looking in the mirror. Hate, hate, hate. And I still look in the mirror and hate. But there is also a part of me that looks at it lovingly now. Like there's like a child in there. And like, I do fun. So, like, I'll be like, I sometimes wake up and my hand is on my fupa. And like before it used to be on my fupa. Like I would be imagining like a chainsaw cutting it off. Now it's there, like very, you know.
A
Rubbing and it's like pillowy for the Baby, it's a little cushy.
B
I hate my FUPA a little bit less.
A
That's beautiful.
B
Thank you. Well, we'll do, like, a full breakdown, so if you are a Patreon member. The vlog dropped last night that I started when I found out I was pregnant. And it takes you through the first so much.
A
Such a fun watch.
B
Yeah. Like, doctor's appointments, telling sisters, telling people. Yeah. It was actually a true labor of love. And I'll continue a lot of the journey. I probably keep most of that, like, more intimate stuff on the Patreon. It's just where I feel more comfortable. I know a lot of people are, like, annoyed about that, but it just. Evil eye, evil eye, evil eye. You know, like patreon.com toast. And then this week. Yeah, we will do a Q and A about, like, the whole journey. Any questions anybody has about, like, you know, conception. Yeah, that's right.
A
How'd you do it?
B
Raw, dogging it, Things of that nature. And it's just a great time to be a Patreon member. It's a great time. It's a great time to be me, honestly. So not to be annoying, but.
A
Well, we're really, really so happy for you. Happy that you're sharing. So excited for all the updates to come.
B
Same, same, same. Like, now that it's out. Oh, my God, the Tiktoks I could make. The Tiktoks I will make. I made two this morning. Like, it's just sort of.
A
It's kind of the creativity out of me. Right.
B
Yeah.
A
Well, it's very beautiful. And we do have a lot to get into today, while also, you know, we'll probably come back to this every five seconds. It's the biggest thing going. That's the big celeb news of the day.
B
Oh, my God. It is the big celeb news of the day. Especially because it is Monday. Jackie and I did watch Yellowstone last night. There'll be a brief recap. Like, I'll talk about nothing happening.
A
Yeah. But still just, like, back with our faves. And they know that, you know. Yeah, they know it's just a show that you're watch. It's a comfort show at this point.
B
Yeah. Like, there's a couple of people and they gave us so much comfort when it comes to, like, Beth and Rip last night. So for that, I'm grateful. But overall, it was my episode.
A

Prolon life.com T O A S T Check it out. Okay, wait, I just remembered like three other things I wanted to say. Remind me. Okay, Dr. Fox, one thing and the second thing is go now. Oh yeah, Vanessa Carlton. But just, I seriously can't remember stuff so I need to tell you. Okay, So I just wanted everyone to know, like, yes, Dr. Fox is my doctor. The doctor who like literally saved Jackie's life. And I never had like a obgyn who I was like in love with. And honestly, I probably haven't been like the best about my reproductive health. Like I like have been to the ob GYN like five times, like once every five years. And so he's my doctor. And it's like if anybody wants to know what I'm going through, it's so great to have a doctor who's like really well versed in my family's medical history because Jackie's condition like actually is hereditary. And so thanks to that, like Dr. Fox knows all about your surge. Every time I go in for a scan, which will be double the norm amount of time because of the circlage I always have to go trans vaginal. So just know, like, while everyone else is getting ultrasounds, like, I have a big rod up my vagina because of Jackie, which is just amazing. Which is just. And let's.
A
It can.
B
Let's talk about that trans vaginal probe. I never felt anything like that in my entire fucking life. Oh, my God. I never knew you could feel like you could shit, vomit, and piss all at the same time. Like, oh, my God, that stick is insane.
A
Yeah, it's an insane stick.
B
What nerve. And the way they just wield it around like Harry Potter. Like, oh, my God, that stick is like. Is actually what nightmares are made of. Men will. Jackie, men will never know what that's like.
A
No, there's so much. Especially, like, there's so much.
B
I feel like at my early appointments when, like, the baby was a grain of rice, like, they couldn't find it, you know, like. Cause it's so small. So they really are, like, digging around, excavating. Oh, my God. Like, could not breathe.
A
Damn.
B
And so I have to do that every time. Cause like I said, Jackie and her problems.
A
Well, it can be hereditary, but could also be, like, circumstantial.
B
Of course.
A
No, not necessarily. Means that you'll have the same thing. Because for me, it could have happened. Didn't happen my first pregnancy. So it could have been like a fluke and something that had happened because of my first labor. Yeah, no, first labor was labor intensive.
B
He has said, like, that he's had patients whose other siblings don't have it. And some do. Like, it's. No.
A
Yeah, but it's just something to look out for.
B
But it is nice to, like, have to know, like, go in with. But. Yeah, but I didn't realize that meant that, like, every single one of my appointments and I have double the amount of scans, like, as everybody else. I didn't know that. Like, you know, it made me a special. And so that's really exciting. So just know, like, when I go to the doctor, that's what I'm experiencing. I don't. I'm never gonna have, like, kind of like in the movies when they, you know, put the thing on your belly.
A
No, you'll have some of those.
B
I don't know.
A
He said. He literally warned me.
B
He said transactional every time with him.
A
But you'll go other places and get it on the belly.
B
It's just not gonna be like it is in the movies.
A
You'll get out of the TV at some point. What was Vanessa Carlton?
B
Yeah. Okay, so like, pregnancy hormones. And by the way, something so strange about me. I'm such an emotional person. Like, everything makes me cry. How many times I cried on this podcast? Like, a thousand times. I've not really cried, like, during this journey. Like, I don't know. I'm not feeling like, emo. I can't explain it, which is so bizarre for me. But, like, the hormones are hitting in, like, different and unique ways. And the other. I was dying to tell the story on the toast, but I knew, like, it would so signal that I was pregnant. Like, a week ago, me and Ben woke up early and. Or, I don't know, I was laying in bed and Ben was getting dressed, and I had told the Alexa to put on some music. And they put on. I'm literally going to cry telling the story. Okay. They put on a Thousand year. No, Thousand miles. And I know Ben loves that song. And I thought he loved it, like, because of white chicks. And he was telling me, he was like, I love this song. I'm like, I know. He's like, no, no. Whenever I think about it, I just, like, picture myself at my parents apartment growing up, like. Like putting the CD in my dad's bows. And I didn't know what he was going to say next. And what he did, like, seriously, like, hit me right between. Like, I was seriously. I sobbed for, like, 35 minutes. He's like, I just picture myself and I'm picturing, like, fat little Ben, curly hair, like, Ben's. Ben as a kid was, like, very sensitive. Very, like, he was really encouraged to, like, lean into his emotions. So he gets a cd. He's like, I popped it in my dad's bows and I just sat down and, like, tried to teach myself how to play it on the piano. And seriously cried for, like, 20 minutes. Like, just, oh, my God, I'm gonna cry. Talking about it again. The image of Ben, like, who doesn't play piano, but, like, trying to teach himself piano with his, like, CD player. Like, while his parents, like, he probably was hiding from his parents. Like, it was actually too much to bear. Like, I couldn't. I literally was hysterically crying. He thought I was so crazy. Oh. And he was leaving. That's why we woke up early. He was going to Dallas. They did an event in Dallas last week. So, like, you're leaving me with this story. Like, I'm gonna, right, slit my wrists. I'm just, like, so upset.
A
No. That's so cute. And I think it touched you even more in addition to the hormones, because it's like, that could be your future child doing that.
B
Totally.
A
Like, teaching, like, putting on toast by Claudia Ashrae. Learning how to play the chords to play Back up for Mommy Thousand percent.
B
And we need to come up with a name for the child. Yeah, like in the family. Because I don't know what to call, like, this thing, and I feel weird saying it. Yeah, I think those were all the things I wanted to say.
A
But, you know, other things could come up along the way. Maybe this story will remind you of something that happened this weekend. Because some of the big news from the weekend was the big fight. There was actually two big fights. Oh, yeah. And so that's a little confusing, but there was one fight on Friday night. Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson on Netflix in Dallas. Netflix.
B
I watched the whole thing.
A
Netflix's first live sports event ended with a bang as the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson went all eight rounds, with Jake Paul coming out victorious via a unanimous decision. So I tried to watch the fight, and literally during Serrano or maybe before that, like, my Netflix cut out and it never came back. So I went to sleep.
B
Yeah, a lot of people had that issue. And to be honest, Netflix really needs to get their act together. Like, they've done a couple of live events, and it's clear that that's, like, a format they want to get into. Every. It's worse every single time. I mean, the Love Is Blind Live reunion was such a fudgeing shit show that Chris. Chris Rock Live Special had so many issues. Like, at this point, in the first, at the beginning, I was like, okay, you know, give him a minute. It's completely unacceptable.
A
No, I mean, like, cable does it every day.
B
No. Pay per View. Pay per View, which is like, what usually is the format for a fight? Like, they. If you're going to, like, switch from this OG format, like, you got to. You got to buck up like this. It's awful.
A
Yeah, it's really crazy. But the fight was, like, the biggest thing.
B
Yeah, I thought it was really interesting that, like, how people's narratives so quickly changed because I was watching and it started at 8 and didn't go on until, like, midnight. So I saw so many different interviews. I saw people on social media, and everyone was like, mike Tyson is gonna beat the out of Jake Paul. I can't wait. He's a beast. He's gonna get his ass beat like, beep, beep, beep. And then the fight happened. And while he didn't do that, he, you know, managed to make it eight rounds, but he Like Law. He lost, obviously. And he lost every round, in my opinion. Like, he was clearly the weaker. I mean, he's 58. Like, it's. What do you expect? And it's so funny how the narrative is now. Like, why does Jake Paul only beat up old guys? Because I guess, like, Jake Paul's thing, and it's actually really smart, is he's gotten really far being taken seriously as a boxer because he puts together these huge productions. I mean, that show on Netflix was produced by mvp, Most Valuable Producer or whatever productions. That's Jake Paul's company. So he's really involved in the whole thing.
A
Jake Paul, right. My favorite.
B
The show I was watching when I.
A
Went into labor, he has this big deal with Netflix.
B
Like, he's a businessman, and so everybody says about him, yeah, but he only. And he's undefeated, or he lost once to Tommy Fury. They're like, he's only about boxing. Like, he boxes former athletes, retired boxers, like, people. Big names that people want to tune into, but not necessarily, like, the best fighters. And so now everyone's, like, mad at Jake Paul. Like, this was elder abuse. Like, please. You thought it was great when you thought Mike Tyson was gonna win.
A
Right?
B
So, please, like, you can't just change your mind. You liked it at first. Yeah, the narrative has completely changed.
A
No, and even though Mike Tyson lost, like, from what I'm seeing, like, he lost with dignity with $20 million in his pocket.
B
Well, that's the other thing. So I'm not sure. And me and Ben talk about this. Every time there's a fight with Jake Paul is like, they say there's a script, and it's like this conspiracy theory. And of course, if you watch a wwe, you know that scripture. Yeah, but with boxing, it's like. Or these types of, like, Logan Paul type fights. We don't.
A
Now Logan Paul's wwe, it's. Yes, by the way. It's very confusing. And then there was also a UFC fight.
B
Yeah, I can't.
A
I.
B
We don't know, like, if they're really. And I could see a world in which, like, Jake Paul wants to be taken seriously as a fighter. And I do believe that Mike Tyson was in a lot of debt, and I don't think there are many opportunities for him to make $20 million in a night anymore. So I think that maybe, like, him and Jake Paul had some sort of agreement, like, yeah, Give me the 20 mil and you can beat me, whatever. Sure. And so I think if it was scripted and that is what had happened, like, Mike Tyson comes out winning anyway. I think he needed the money. And if it wasn't that and it was a fair fight, then it was a fair fight. Like, I don't know if these types of fights are scripted. Like, why would Floyd Mayweather ever box? Logan Paul, he has more money than God. Like, he doesn't even. I think that he made $50 million. Yeah, but still, like, why would he do that fight? This person has fought two times in his life. Can I. Could I fight Floyd next? Like, these fights confuse me. And, like, I. I'm one of the people. Like, I understand the Paul brothers and how big of a deal they are. I think a lot of people clown on them, especially when you think about how they started. And, like, you know, there's a lot of. They've had their own scandals, but, like, I understand the magnitude of how impressive it is of what they built. And, like, they literally each have hundreds of millions of dollars. Like, I actually respect what they've built. People hate them and clown on them. I don't.
A
Yeah, no, but.
B
But I don't understand.
A
This harks back to the Forbes creator list that had them down for, like, 8 million or $11 million. But he just made $40 million in a night before end of the year.
B
And that's before sponsors. That's before his own production company. Like, it's absurd. Yeah, that list. Yeah, the. The Paul brothers, say what you want about them. Are incredible businessmen. Like, wait.
A
And then also. So there's wwe, there's Jake Paul and boxing. There's UFC and ufc. There's also, like, what MMA Tyson Fury does. He's the heavyweight boxing champion. Is that heavyweight?
B
No, heavyweight is ufc.
A
I don't think it is.
B
And there was a UFC fight the next night. Like, a big one, right?
A
A huge one.
B
Saturday night that was there.
A
Watched both of them. Well, I couldn't even watch Netflix, like, to watch them both to see what the difference in fighting styles is. Oh, I watched something different.
B
So I'll tell you, the Jake Paul one. First of all, you wear gloves. That's huge. That's like a punch to the face.
A
And that's like Cinderella Man.
B
Sure, It's. Yeah, it's like.
A
It's like jab, cross, jab, jab, cross, uppercut.
B
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Like kickboxing, kind of. And there is a ref so that, like, you can't get your ass beat to filth. Like the ufc. There is a ref, too. They're not wearing gloves. You can kick, you can jump. Like, you can seriously do whatever the Fuck you want? I've seen people like jump on other people and like suffocate them. Like, it's much more violent.
A
Yeah.
B
Ufc.
A
Okay. Yeah.
B
And then WWE is like all staged shows. It's stage total Bellas. It's total Bellas. Exactly.
A
Understood. And then like the Tommy Fury of it all. Which you sent or someone sent me a tick tock that now like the ladies of Tommy Fury are coming out. Some lady said on a podcast that she like slept with Tummy Furry in Dubai and she's like, smiling. It literally gave me the heebie jeebies.
B
Some like actual rodent like, went on this British podcast hosted by three dudes and she was just like, yeah, like they're not in Dubai. Like, Tommy had set with three girls and then me. Like, I'm literally the reason you forgot they all broke up.
A
You forgot the smile. From ear to earth. He sub girls and then me with.
B
Shit eating grin on her face. And I think she thought like these three podcast hosts like thought she was like, hot and like would think that this was cool. And they're like, really? And like, I just know that they all thought she was disgusting. Like, I hate this bitch so much. Like, seriously, I wish her only the worst. She's sitting there like, with this just shitting grit on her face, like she thinks she's hot and like, somebody lied to her several times. And I just actually never wanted to punch someone so much in my life.
A
That's not cool that you had sex with Tommy Fury after he slept with three girls and he has a fiance and baby at home. Like, we're like, what part of it.
B
Are you feeling prideful about? Is it the fact that you broke up a family? Is it the fact that you were his fourth choice for the night? Like, which part is requiring you to be smiling so hard? I'm not sure. I watched that video and I actually felt, you know what, you know, word? Like, you know what emotion? Disgust.
A
Yeah, same, same. Well, that's all the fight news for the weekend. That's.
B
Yeah, it was like free girls before me and like every. I just fucking hated her. Same the fight. I just want to say, like, I really enjoyed every time there's like an influencery fight that's like made into a big like pay per view thing. I always enjoy it so much. Not like the fighting part, but a lot of like the. There's so many celebrities who come and it's like a fun event to watch. Although I don't know who's in charge of programming. I would Just love if the main fight didn't start at 1 in the morning.
A
Yeah, it had the really annoying out there.
B
Yes. We saw all the dc. It was a little bit of a spoiler as to who made it this year because we haven't seen the new season yet.
A
Yeah, but it's also like, they post on social media, like, we know who made it.
B
I. Yeah, I knew that my spoiler alert, my swirly Reese and Charlie had made it. So that was like all I really cared about.
A
Yeah.
B
And then.
A
Oh, and Ben went to the other fight.
B
Yes. And then the next night there was like ufc, the separate one that a ton of celebrities were at, including Ben. And he. I'm passed out. I went to bed at 8:00 watching Veep. Actually, I woke up in the middle of the night, like choking on my own throw up. It was actually really crazy.
A
How did Ben get tickets? Ben, you know, okay, who'd he go with?
B
Like, he brought his friend. Encore. Like, literally people fawning over him like, oh, no, Ben, take my free seats. Take my free seats. Like, you don't understand the power of the bs.
A
Did he offer you a ticket?
B
Of course, but I was not going.
A
Do you, like, now do you wish that you went?
B
Well, but he got like a big. I was in like a. I was in like a fitful sleep. So when he got home, I was like kind of up and I was so hungry too. So I was like, can you get me a piece of bread and tell me about your night? And he was telling me that he saw Brianna Chicken Fry. And I was like, really jealous and not Ben. He's so funny. He's like literally texting with Brianna Chicken Fry and like, hey, I'm in this lounge. You want to meet? Like, he didn't just like run into her. He's so, like, makes magic happen, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
And then he ran into Kelly Taylor. They had never met. And so Ben was like, kind of nervous. He was like, I'm gonna go up and like say that I'm your man's husband. And Kelly was like, oh, my God, of course I know bsc. I'm a swirly. Like, she was everything you could possibly want. So Ben was feeling like really high on his own shit. Who else did he tell me he ran into? Like, it was star studded. Like, oh. Before they went to dinner and there was like a new restaurant opening, so that's where Ben went. And obviously it was like packed with like cool people. And I get tagged in like a million tiktoks. When I get home and Bethany was at this restaurant opening, and so she's making a TikTok, like, come with me to fabulous new restaurant opening. And she, like, is filming. And it's just Ben. So, yeah, Ben spoke to Bethany. Ben met everyone. Ben was out and about. And, like, for the most part, I haven't gone to anything. Like, I just have no energy to go. And whenever Ben gets home, he's like, it's horrible. Everything. Nothing is worth going to. And I never feel like once in.
A
A while, even when Ben was getting.
B
Dressed, I was so tired and so was he. He had had, like, a hard day. And I was like. I said, I'm like, I seriously am so not jealous of you. Like, have the best time by. Meanwhile, he got home. I was actually, like, kind of.
A
But just take the era's lesson.
B
No, it's so true. It's so true. It's so true.
A
Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Last night was the Governor's Awards. 2024. It's the Oscars Governor's Award. So, like, the pictures, they're like stepping, standing. It's all the celebrities were there standing in front of, like, a red carpet.
B
Yeah, I saw.
A
And I'm like, the Oscars weren't on last night, were they?
B
No. The Oscars Governor's Award, they really just. Any excuse to get dressed up, these people.
A
Yeah. So JLo was there. Angelina Jolie, Selena. Jennifer Lawrence was there. Pregnant, wearing Bottega. A sister in pregnancy for you.
B
I need to keep a list of who I'm pregnant with at the same time.
A
Yeah, but, like, also, it'll start coming. Like, obviously there are people who are, you know, at the end.
B
Right.
A
Run. But like, people who are in the same timeline as you. Like, you'll start finding out soon.
B
Yeah. I was, like, briefly pregnant with Pookie.
A
Yes, you were. Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman. Do you see last night during Yellowstone how hard they're pushing that ninja, Landman?
B
I did see how hard they were pushing that.
A
Did it work for you?
B
Honestly, a little bit. Like, kind of. They said, like, that it was premiering after Yellowstone if it wasn't so tired I fell asleep. Right.
A
It was a sneak peek. It wasn't a premiere. It was like a premiere.
B
Okay. The only thing is, like, Jon Hamm. I don't know why I don't. And I know Jon Hamm is in one of the most critically acclaimed, like, best TV shows, Mad Men. Something about him is not like a serious actor to me. I feel like he's Always in it being, like, satirical, like in 30 Rock, you know.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know why. When I saw he was in it, I was like, oh, this show's not going to be good.
A
Also, I feel that way about Demi Moore. Like, I feel like the Taylor Sheridan world. It's like he finds people and, like, new up and coming and, like, I don't want people that have been around, like, doing this, if I know your name shows. Yeah.
B
The thing is, I don't even know a single cat. Except for.
A
Except I'll allow Billy Bob Thornton because he's the landmark.
B
Agreed. 1,000%. But when it comes to the Yellowstone characters, I do not know a single, besides for a single one of their first and last names, like in real life.
A
And also, Michelle Randolph is in Landman.
B
Taylor Sheridan likes her.
A
Yeah, I like her.
B
She's great. I like her, too, obviously. I mean, what's not to like?
A
So, like, that's a big draw for me. But I could just see myself watching for her and then being, like, annoyed that she's not in every scene.
B
I don't know. Also, like, Taylor Sheridan is pissing me off.
A
Yeah.
B
And. But if I'm gonna support another one of his shows, like, I don't want it to be this one.
A
They're clearly trying to, like, take the whole Yellowstone audience because the show's ending, but it has the biggest audience, like, in TV cable history, and they're trying to, like, put it on another show. And they've chosen Land man, and I.
B
Don'T think it's a worthy.
A
The tire also makes me laugh.
B
Agreed. And I was saying to Ben last night, I need Taylor Sheridan to go on Joe Rogan or, like, a podcast, like, a long form, because I feel I want to know what his motives are, you know?
A
Yeah. Would you say Land man is greater than Sandman, that piece of shit book.
B
You read to your kids? Yeah, I would say.
A
I haven't seen Sandman for a while. I think I might have hidden it.
B
I ripped it up and threw it in the garbage.
A
Anyway, more governors at the Governor's Awards.
B
Lots of See the swirlies.
A
Being glamorous, like Tom Hanks and Reader Wilson.
B
What about Kim Zolciak and Chet Wilson?
A
Not pictured, but maybe they just didn't walk the carpet for privacy.
B
Love that. Rita Wilson, now that I'm, like, you know, in this phase in my life. Love that she'd never changed her name.
A
Rita Wilson Hanks.
B
Yeah, she's Rita Wilson. Like, love that.
A
Yeah. Yeah. So I guess this is just Giving, like, a little taste of award season if you're feeling hungry.
B
I'm not. But I did like to see everyone, like, looking beautiful. Everybody looks like a clown these days.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, it's like being ugly is like a competition and they're all trying to win first place. So to see everyone, like, looking normal and sound of mind, it was really, it was a pleasure. Jennifer Lawrence looked absolutely beautiful. She never steps out. And when she does, like, she doesn't make us regret it, you know, she's like, yeah, like, every time I see him, like, we made the right bitch famous, you know?
A
Totally.
B
She's so beautiful.
A
Yeah. She really is.
B
And she's got the personality to match. Which people that beautiful usually don't.
A
Right. Because they're the theater kids who shut you out of 13 because they were jealous of your big personality.
B
Not only that, they've never had to rely on anything other than their looks.
A
Yeah. And their talent.
B
Let's talk about, like, models, you know? Yeah.
A
Yeah, yeah. Are you ready for our next story?
B
I am.
A
Some big sports music news.
B
Sports. Oh, yes.
A
Beyonce will perform Cowboy Carter songs for the first time during NFL halftime show on Christmas.
B
So be on Netflix. Can somebody explain it to me?
A
So Beyonce will perform songs from Cowboy Carter during halftime of the NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans on Christmas Day at NRG Stadium in her Texas hometown. Details about their performance are scarce. However, Netflix teased in a press release Sunday that it will include some special guests who are featured on her genre bending country album. Oh, Miley had collaborations with Dolly, Miley, Post Malone, Shabuzi and more artists.
B
Also, Jackie, can you explain it to me?
A
No, I. Tv.
B
Football on Christmas is on cable.
A
So next Netflix is live streaming the game on Wednesday, December 25th. The Christmas game.
B
Oh, great. Another piece of shit we're not going to be able to watch.
A
Good luck watching. Watching.
B
So wait, the game is also on Netflix.
A
Netflix is live streaming the game.
B
But that's crazy because.
A
Do they have like a NFL?
B
They don't. Yeah, prime does. Prime has Thursday Night Football and then the rest of football's on cable.
A
Well, they maybe made a big bid for the Christmas game.
B
Just one rogue game on Netflix. This makes no sense.
A
Netflix does a lot of. One rogue.
B
Netflix is like, so janky.
A
Unless this is like, not an NFL affiliated.
B
It is.
A
But like, could you imagine them paying the Ravens?
B
There are. There are. Oh, you mean not an NFL.
A
Texans to play.
B
But there have been non affiliated, like super bowl or football performances, like, outside the stadium.
A
Yes, yes, yes.
B
Like Taylor Swift did that big one in Houston, I think for the super bowl, but it was like the day before.
A
Yeah, this is different because they are playing football on the games.
B
I'm so confused. Also speaking of football, you know, Travis's team lost last night. They're now no longer undefeated and they.
A
Lost to Josh Allen's team and Taylor's boyfriend. Taylor didn't go to the game. So they lost when she doesn't go, which, like I'm happy for her that they lose when she doesn't go. That like looks good for her. But she didn't like cross paths with Haley. It wasn't.
B
Well, that's the other thing. What is the status? This is like a blind spot in my swifty knowledge. If somebody could leave a comment. What is the status of Haley Seinfeld's relationship with Taylor Swift? Like she was briefly in the girls.
A
It's obviously non existent or else they would have like gone to the game together. They would have been waiting for this game their whole lives.
B
Yes, but Taylor couldn't go to the game regardless. Like she's in ERAS mode. Like she. Even though, like she had the night.
A
Off, I think and the Toronto to Buffalo is a very short flight.
B
She doesn't do that. Like if she's in a city, she's not leaving. Like, she's finishing her.
A
But the last show was on Saturday and the game was on Sunday and.
B
Then she's going to Vancouver.
A
Yeah, like she really could have gone.
B
That's weird.
A
But she didn't want to see Haley.
B
Maybe that's it.
A
That's what I'm saying.
B
I don't know if Haley was there.
A
But yeah, that the Chiefs lost.
B
The Chiefs lost. Yeah, it was a tough. I actually watched it. It was a good game. Good game.
A
Also, I was gonna say back to the other artists with Beyonce. Shabuzi is doing SNL in a few weeks.
B
Shabuzi is doing snl.
A
Paul Mezcala's host.
B
I like Paul Mezcal. He is a nice looking boy.
A
So I've seen the trailer for Gladiators and I'm very open to it.
B
The fuck is Gladiators?
A
The movie Gladiator. They. They're remaking it. Paul Mezcal. Yeah, I think it just came out.
B
Oh, well, you know, I wanted to go to the movies yesterday and you and your Matt Damon quote, like, are actually ruining my life. Me and Ben were like, we just want to go like, be fat, eat popcorn. Like, we don't need to see the best movie. We just need to see Something you guys should see.
A
Gladiator.
B
There's nothing playing. The only thing was this, like, Judy Greer movie, a Christmas pageant.
A
Sounds amazing.
B
And I was like, wow, are we really gonna see? No, Jackie. It was like. It's about these, like, bad kids. It's all about kids. Judy Greer is just like the mom. Like, it looked so stupid to the point where I was like, I don't think we can go. Like, it just.
A
I think you just have to wait one week. Like, everything's coming out in a week.
B
I know, I know. And I have. I have my Wicked tickets.
A
Your wickets.
B
I have my wickets and I'm ready to go.
A
Tickets. Tickets. Tickets.
B
Tickets.
A
Well, that's very exciting.

B
Casual. Yeah, Yeah, I like that. What about like a very chill holiday get together?
A
Oh, I think raspberry.
B
I think raspberry is a good call. I will sort of ask you what you think about pina Colada because the pina colada is a clear gloss with a gold shimmer. And I feel like gold shimmer is very.
A
It is very holiday. That would be my backup. But I feel like just raspberry, it's the Vibes of the holiday.
B
What about a date night? Which one you reaching for?
A
So then it has to be Zach's favorite flavor, right? He loves a sour watermelon.
B
Loves. But what about birthday kiss? Like, it's really. It's like a smoochy type of, you know.

Grape soda.

Yeah.

Great.

A
Thank you, Sash Church. We didn't even address the fact that we're matching today.
B
I mean, there's so much to address. Like, I'm literally with child. Like, how could we address something so rudimentary?
A
We just needed to address the twins in the room.
B
Are the twins in the room with us?
A
Right here?
B
Oh, I'm not having twins.
A
Sad.
B
You guys know that that was definitely like something I was like potentially looking forward to. Although I am on a side of TikTok where like girls are talking about how they found out that there was a second baby at like 25 weeks. So, like, there's still hope for me. And that would explain, like, why I'm rapidly gaining weight.
A
But you never know.
B
It's not completely off the table, but it's not. Currently on.
A
Our next story is some fun celeb hookup news because Kristen Cavallari is sharing that she hooked up with Jason Statham and Morgan Wallen, her friend claim so Kristen and Justin put out a video. You have to. They did that trend of, like, suspect is blah, blah, blah.
B
Yeah, yeah, we need to do that.
A
Claudia. They fucking roasted each other.
B
It was. Never mind.
A
So funny and so honest. And in that video, we learned that she has hooked up with Morgan Mullen and Jason Statham.
B
Okay, I love Kristen Cavallari for this.
A
This is what Justin Anderson said about her suspect let Morgan Wallen hurt her feelings, and she kept going back. And then about Jason Statham suspects hottest hookup that she's never told anyone about was Jason Statham is what Justin Anderson said.
B
I feel like there are certain people in Hollywood and Kristen Cavalier is definitely one of them who are, like, really pretty, have been famous for a long time, and I've definitely hooked up with a lot of celebrities, and I feel like people like that are never giving us enough information. And I guess that's. That's how you stay hooking up with celebrities, is by not being a blabbermouth, but, like, the absolute gossip girl in me, like, needs to know who certain people have hooked up with. And the fact that we are now getting, like, this tiny bit of really juicy information, like the Morgan Wallen one is so crazy to me. I love this. I need more, like, young, hot things in Hollywood to tell us who they're hooking up.
A
Well, I feel like now have hooked up now that Kristen, like, she said she doesn't want to date celebrities anymore. Like, she just wants a regular degular. Like, so she's not jeopardizing her opportunities took up with celebrities. So, like, for future hookups, let us know.
B
Yeah, I love this.
A
For her, like, video was so funny. You have to watch it.
B
I need to watch it. Well, she lives in Nashville, by the way, so it makes sense. I feel like if you're, like, a pretty girl who lives in Nashville, like, you've hooked up with Morgan where you've.
A
Like, had a chance.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like if you're an ugly.
A
Girl, really shocking because also, like, he's married with children now, and he is.
B
Like, a movie star. Like, he doesn't even live in the states. Like, yeah, he is a global movie star.
A
So go, Kristen.
B
Go, Kristen, go. I wonder what phase of her fame, like, Laguna beach era. Well, not she's a minor, but like.
A
A while ago, because like I said, like, he's married with kids.
B
Right? And then she was married, so it must have been before all that.
A
And then also, don't forget, like, even though we just think of, like, Kristen And Jay Cutler. And he's just like her ex husband who's annoying. Like he was Jay Cutler.
B
Oh, no. I don't forget that. He's kind of like a Patrick Mahomes type, you know?
A
Right. So just a little.
B
I love, like a marriage, an actual marriage between like a mega star and a star athlete. Mostly football. I don't know why. I have like a special place. I'm trying to think, like, who else? Who else made a good marriage, like, in football. Yeah. With like a celebrity.
A
Olivia Culpo.
B
Yes. Russell Wilson and Sierra. Yeah. But Olivia Colbo's new. I mean, like, who's been together now? They're like an institution. Russell Wilson and Sierra. That's a really good one. Although is he retired? I can't remember. I feel like back in the day. Who's. Who's Tony Romo married to?
A
He is married. Not Jessica Crawford's sister.
B
Sister. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good one.
A
Yeah, it is a good one. Also, it was not football that I was just thinking. Oh, like Kate Upton and Justin Verlander.
B
Perfect example. Oh. Oh, my God. I can't talk.
A
Joanna Garcia Swisher And Nick Swisher.
B
And Nick Swisher.
A
That's a good one.
B
Yeah, that's a good one. There's good ones in baseball too.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, our favorites. Hannah Jeter and Derek Jeter.
A
Our favorites.
B
They're an institution. I like them a lot. That's a good one.
A
Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
B
Oh, bidding is such sweet sorrow.
A
A little beyond a chicken fry. News. Brianna, Rihanna, Ms. Chicken is alleged.
B
Ms. Chick.
A
Ms. Chick is threatening to release video of Zach Brian allegedly abusing her.
B
Do it, do it, do it.
A
So she claims she has a video of her ex Zach Brian, abusing her. She threatened to release the supposed footage on Sunday morning after the country singer is posting images of her cat on social media. So she took. She took to tick tock to say, if that man doesn't stop sharing pictures and videos of her cat, she'll post a video of him whipping at my face.
B
So I guess he's been like posting to Taunter. Like there's. And I'm not sure what the origins of this cat are. I don't know if it was a cat they got together, if it was a cat, Brianna, because they both had a lot of pets and the pets that they brought into the relationship, as far as I know, left with them. Like Brianna left with her dog and I think a cat too. But maybe this is a cat that they like fostered together. I'm not sure. But Brianna has been saying like, it's her cat and he stole it from her. And I guess he's like taunting her. The only, the only thing he can really do. He has nothing like to say against her. And so he's just torturing her with a pictures of this cat. And you know, he sure shut up after that.
A
Yeah. Because she had said previously, I miss Stump so much, I want to kidnap him. But when Zach left and didn't tell me anything, he took Stump out of spite. He didn't even like cats. His dog Jack hates cats. She said, my dog Boston loves cats. I love cats. Can someone steal the cat back for me? The animals throughout this have been one of the hardest parts. Like, I just think about Boston and Jack and Stump. I think about Stump every night.
B
Oh my God, we need to get this cat back.
A
Yeah.
B
Well, I think she should like make more threats. Obviously this is a person who I think responds to this type of like violent and aggressive behavior. It's like that's his method of communication. So I would threaten to put it all out there if the cat isn't left on my doorstep by 9pm tonight.
A
Of course, Dave commented. Do it.
B
I commented, even if he stops posting the cat, you should post it.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, I know. And I think that she is slowly like rolling back this line of thinking because you could tell in the first episode she talked about it and then in the second there was already like a shift. But when you really were in a relationship with someone that you love, even if they did wrong to you, you still have this like odd need and want to protect them. And I'm sure she has things on her phone that could like. Seriously.
A
Yeah.
B
Destroy. And she needs to start. She maybe. Okay, she doesn't have to post it. Whatever. She, she started using it to her advantage. I like this concept of making threats. I think it's an effective way of communicating with seriously, like diabolical, manipulative pieces of shit. Yeah, they respond to that sort of. They almost respect it. And I love this. I really do. And I think it's a brilliant approach and I think it will be quite effective.
A
Yeah. Also for like on the Brianna's personal life front, she's really been like living, enjoying life. I think she posted a video and like some guys like cozying up to her and people she's been sharing on.
B
TikTok about this guy.
A
She's just like fighting back in the comments.
B
So this is a guy she's been sharing like On TikTok, she's calling him the Aussie guy. I think he's Australian. I think she, like, met him at a bar a couple of nights ago when he's in New York for a week and they're just, like, hooking up. Like, she's being very open about, like, what that is.
A
Yeah.
B
But she's, like, out every night. She's staying at a hotel in New York looking for an apartment, looking fabulous, going to fabulous events. I mean, Dana White gave her tickets to the ufc. It was. It wasn't like that. She went to that fight that she saw Ben at, like, for fun. Like, she's like a big celeb now. They hooked it up. She was sitting two rows behind the President, one row behind Miles. Like, she's at that level.
A
Like, she's living her best life, as they say.
B
No, it's fabulous.
A
More. But someone said. Someone commented on her tick tock. That was fast. And she said, well, I was cheated on my whole relationship, so. Yeah.
B
Even if. Even if she wasn't. Okay. Shut up.
A
Yeah.
B
How about what if you. What if you actually shut the fuck up? I think the world would be an amazing place if you did that.
A
Yeah.
B
Just a thought. Love this journey for her. And I think it's also made people realize, like, how really radio silent she had went on social media during her relationship. She would post every now and then, but now she. You forget, she's a content creator by trade. Now she's posting, like, content creators who. Three to five times a day.
A
Yeah.
B
And people are like, oh, my God, I miss this side of you. This is what she became popular for. Like, going out every night. Fashion, makeup, personality, and. And she's so bad.
A
Yeah, you can. And she's having fun. And she deserves fun. After what she's been through, she deserves fun. Yeah.
B
Those are the Fast 5. Let's quickly dive into the Yellowstone. Recap. Episode 2 of the Final season aired last night. Not much happened. Although it was an enjoyable episode. Like, I found myself enjoying every minute of it too.
A
I have a question once again. Did I miss something on the TV that.
B
Nope.
A
Okay.
B
Because one day I was looking out for it.
A
This time it's six months before.
B
Yep.
A
Six weeks before. And then the next day, one day.
B
John's alive, but we don't see him.
A
One day Rip is walking, and the next day he's walking back to the ranch. I'm like, oh, Lloyd's probably shocked to see you. Would you need a horse because of the snake bite? No.
B
Ben was so confused And I was. Made it a point to have to point out to him they didn't do six weeks before. And the thing is, they keep going back and forth in time, and usually there's, like, a big indicator that we're back in the future. And that would be Kevin Costa Costner, because half the show, he's alive.
A
Right.
B
So where are you?
A
Not there.
B
Or even then, they're not doing a good job.
A
Cuts to Beth, like, in a black dress. I thought she was going to the funeral, but, like, okay, clearly we're somber now. What is that? Like, I'm. I need it spelled out for me. What day of is it?
B
I do want to say best part of the episode, dropping that wench Piper Paribo off at the. At the airport. Like, when I thought when she was walking to the airport and then she turned around, I'm like, do not turn around. Go to the airport. Please leave. Like, I could not stand her. Not that idiot. Not even being on house arrest.
A
I'm just worried this is not how her story ends, because why would they have the actress Piper Paribo be in the last season for only three minutes? Like, they could have just, like, not paid her for this season and not had her.
B
I completely forgot about her, but she's so unnecessary, and she's so random.
A
Yeah.
B
That exchange between her and Beth, like, was really funny, but, like, I need her out of the state immediately. Oh, my God. Wait, am I just, like, really emotional and pregnant or. When Rip said he'd never left the state before, like, did you also cry?
A
I didn't cry, but my heart, like, you felt squeezed.
B
I love this man. Like, I would do anything for him.
A
Yeah. No, I wanted to know. So they were obviously, like, so happy when they went down to four sixes for the night.
B
Yeah. And then they're really trying to highlight, like, a shift in the culture between Montana and Texas, how Texas is, like, a state that really embraces and, like, harnesses agricultural and, like, farming, and they make it. You know, everybody respects it. And in Montana, because of all these, like, bureaucracy and tourism and big companies, it's a dying job. Right, Right.
A
And so it seems like Beth is starting to, like, maybe see a future for them elsewhere. And then John dies. So, like, I don't know if that. That propels her forward into the future or, like, takes her back. Like, maybe it's like, oh, we could have had this, but now we can't.
B
Yeah, I don't know either. But it's nice to see her having some ideas because somebody Needs to do something.
A
And it was also nice to hear from Casey. Like, we even last week, we struggled to, like, place Casey within the family. Like, is he supposed to take over? What's he about? And he's. And he literally said, like, what he's about, which is that I like the ranch work, but I never wanted to take this over.
B
Yeah. And now it's, like, on Tate. And obviously, it's, like, a big question to ask a kid who seriously has said three words in his whole life, but it seems that, like, he's having the same sort of feelings. Like, I like working here. I don't want to, like, run it, but, my God, it seems like nobody wants to work these days. Bitch. It's a family business. Some people would kill for this. Get up.
A
Yeah.
B
Get to work.
A
Yeah.
B
No, that scene. And I'm sorry. I really don't like his wife. Like, she is just. And she doesn't do anything wrong. She. And I feel like, even recently, like, she really has, like, leaned into the Dutton life, and I think that she straddles her two worlds very well. I just, like, find. Maybe it's her haircut. Like, I find her insufferable.
A
Yeah. And I always just feel like she's, like. Like making things really, like, emotionally weighted for Tate. Like, just saying stuff like. Like, your dad just pulled.
B
Ben said the same. He just pulled.
A
When they pulled over, you could have been like, oh, we had to take a call. Instead, it's like, when your father's quiet. Yeah.
B
Jackie. Ben literally was like, that's probably the wrong thing to say to your kid.
A
I'm like, for sure he's going through a lot. He's just a kid. Like, you don't have to put all this emotional weight on him. You could have just made up an excuse for why he pulled over Jackie.
B
She didn't have to make one up. He literally said, I have to download something on my phone for work. Hang on. Okay. Sorry, honey. He had to download something for work on his phone. We'll meet him at the house. That was a really weird scene, but.
A
That'S just, like, classic her. Like, they. They do the floors, and it's like, every house is.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
Just, like, the floors look great.
B
She's so serious. She's so serious. I also hate that bitch for market equities. Like, when she was getting her pussy ate on that table, I was like, girl, this is literally like a government building because you put your dress back on Wendy's. I was like, get your pussy off the table.
A
She Obviously, like, sees Jamie for the, like, loser that he is. Like, how can she even muster up a kiss?
B
Yeah, but she obviously, like, she sees a nice future for herself, so she's putting out.
A
Oh, you think that's what it is? Or she's, like, there. And what I also don't understand is, like, why would a woman like this, like, literally give herself mind, body, soul, everything to, like, this company? Like, that she's.
B
That's what I'm saying.
A
For the company.
B
I don't think.
A
I think once this is all said and done, she moves on and then, like, seduces the next man who's in the way.
B
No, because Jamie's, like, so easily. If he becomes the governor so easy, then she's like the governor's wife. Like, I could see her doing this. Yes, for the company, but more so for herself.
A
But she's not pursuing the wifey route. She would already have a ring on her fingers. She's just manipulating him for the company, and it's like, girl, why do you care so much about this company? They could fire you.
B
I feel like she's just manipulating him because she can, by the way. And when Beth choked her, Obsessed.
A
No, but I'm telling you, like, it doesn't end in marriage for the two of them, or else she already would have manipulated Jamie into proposing to her.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
She's really just, like, using him for market equities.
B
It is really nice to see Casey, like, do something for once in his life. You know, he's always just sort of, like, letting life wife pass him by. Like, even him making that phone call, I was like, finally.
A
Oh, so you have contacts.
B
Yeah. Where the hell have they been?
A
But I think that's also just, like, as a man, now that his father is gone, like, he has to step up to the plate. He's the man of the family, so he's got to call his contacts and.
B
Download his app, that rattlesnake thing. Like, I. I was like, I'm gonna have nightmares.
A
She already was bitten.
B
Oh, so did I. Which is better than what it ended up being, like, not her laying there laying in fear for how long? Like, I just about passed away.
A
Yeah, that was shocking.
B
No, And I don't remember how they picked, like, who goes to Texas and who doesn't, but, like, the way I would be so relieved. Like, that kid is crying in the bunkhouse. Becky. Yellowstone, bitch. You could be in Texas. Stop crying.
A
And the MVP of the show is Gator the cook.
B
Oh, he is just a delight. Like, it's Clear that because John is not in the show anymore, they've beefed up other people's scenes. Like, we got so much Beth and Rip and we got so much of, like, the cowboy humor and, like, and I love it. Like, where was this content all along?
A
John was sucking all the energy out of the room. And also, I think they were making a show, like, more for TV and less for, like, the cowboys across America watching. And I think they realized, like, no, like, it's the people who are shown on the show who love the show. Like, let's do more of this. That Even showing that workman that. Like that Smith.
B
Yes.
A
Last week.
B
And by the way, last week and I found they. People were writing out in the comments. He is actually a real. A real.
A
You could work.
B
You knew it. And he had passed away. The episode was. Was dedicated to him. That's who that was.
A
Oh, that's really sweet.
B
He was like a famous Texas blacksmith.
A
Yeah. You can. You can say even like, the high. I love the highway scene with Beth and the police officer. And it's like, that's nothing to move the storyline. Except just like, in, like.
B
No, except the scene.
A
Yeah. And it's just like, nice dialogue and appreciation for our cattle ranchers. And you know what? We don't appreciate our ranchers enough. I can say that.
B
Don't. No, we don't.
A
I don't think about where my piece of steak comes from. I had beef stew last night. I wasn't thinking about the rancher that rounded up the cattle and took him to Texas for brucellosis.
B
I meant to say this last week, too. Every time the episode ends and it's executive producer Kevin Costner, I'm like, get the hell out of here.
A
Yeah.
B
You can't take credit for that.
A
Obviously don't love it enough.
B
You didn't even show up. How can you have been an ep?
A
Because he, like, signed on from the be. He's in since the beginning.
B
In name only. He's an executive producer. In name only.
A
But, like, the Brucellosis is really cramping my style.
B
I agree. I need those to get back to.
A
And they just, like, are parked up in the desert because they want to be like, Taylor Sheridan. The actual man, like, offered them to stay in bunk houses, but they want to be sleeping with the snakes.
B
No, Jackie, they didn't offer it. It's like. Like it's a part of his service. Like, you can pay extra. They paid for the land. They're paying to rent just to get through the season. And it would have made it more. They're on an extremely budgeted travel agenda. They can't pay for the bunkhouses, too. That's, like, you know, getting an upgrade at a hotel.
A
I guess so. Just seems that it seems like they want to be sleeping in the dirt.
B
I mean, why they aren't sleeping in their cars is beyond me. There's a truck right there, I think. Can't get in. Go lay down.
A
Yeah.
B
Even when Rip was like, I can't leave, and she was like, we're going to hotel. Sleep in Beth's car.
A
Yeah. It's a little. It's a little much.
B
Yeah. They're, like, making it hard for.
A
They're making it harder than it needs to be. And, like, why are they so far? Why don't you park up next to the bunk house or, like, a. Close by? They, like, really want to be so remote.
B
Yeah. How are they charging their phones? I was thinking about that because Rip keeps picking up the phone.
A
True. Maybe a car charger.
B
Maybe there's a generator or something.
A
Definitely a generator. Definitely.
B
Yeah. Because. Because the gator's got a gate.
A
Gator's got a gate. Maybe solar power.
B
Yeah. Yeah. You know that house that in the east camp that Casey and his wife are building? Like, I need that house.
A
Yeah. But, like, no neighbors for miles. And it's just, you guys, you have.
B
To really like your wife, which I think he does.
A
Yeah. No. Or you could get eaten by a bear, and, like, no one would know.
B
Yeah.
A
Just something to think about.
B
But you'd have a nice house.
A
You'd have quiet.
B
In this economy, like, owning land, it's worth a couple of bears.
A
Worth a couple of billion, as the show is foretelling.
B
And, like, they. They still just won't sell it. Right. Like, And I know why, but it's better than it being taken from them.
A
That's true. I don't know.
B
And their financial situation does confuse me a little bit. Like, Beth is right around in a Bentley, buying everyone hookers and hotel rooms, flying everyone out. Meanwhile, they're broke.
A
Has money from her job previously when she, like, shorted stock. Like, she's rolling in it. The ranch work season. Like, it sustains itself just barely. But that's, like, what ranch life is. You make just enough to, like, get to the next season. But yeah, like, remember when they had a helicopter?
B
Where's. Yeah. Like, are these people rich or poor? I can't tell. Yeah. They look so much. Staff drivers.
A
Liquid.
B
They're not liquid. All right, well, that's the Yellowstone recap that honestly was better than the actual episode. So there's that. That's our show, you guys. Oh, tomorrow we have a guest. We've been teasing it for quite a bit. We'll announce it later today. I'm really excited about. I actually watched the episode yesterday because I had like some edits to make. It was so good, like reliving it again. You guys are really gonna love it. So I'm excited for that.
