I'm The Jenna, You're The Hoda: Thursday, March 7th, 2024

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the shows and happy Thursday, real Thursday, not fake Thursday.

Yesterday, fake fucking news.

I started the show happy Thursday and everybody was like, oh my God, yay.

Wait, what?

I ruined millions of days yesterday.

Today?

Yesterday was a drill.

Today is the real thing.

It was a drill.

You got to spin the narrative, Turdy.

You didn't mess up.

You were getting us ready.

Tracky, I'm merely a storyteller, okay?

Spin the narrative.

She was getting us ready for Thursday and now I feel amply prepared and even more excited than it's Thursday than I would have been if I didn't think that yesterday was Thursday.

Oh man, you're wearing my sweater.

I am wearing your sweater.

It looks great on you.

Because I missed you.

The thing about this sweater is I love this sweater, Fendi Skims, great collection, great sweater.

I love it in person.

It has yet to look good on the show.

The one time I wore it on the show, I was pregnant, but I looked

so big.

So the sweater is enormous.

I remember when Fendi X Skims dropped, I was panicked on the website.

I knew that it was going to be size inclusive.

I was like, fuck yes.

And I went on the website and I was so panicked and I knew I wanted this cardigan and it was in fucking European sizing, 42.

I'm like, what is that?

Like I literally, I just bought it because I'm like, better too big than too small.

It was enormous.

Even when I was much heavier, it was still really big on me.

So in person, it's like cute and oversized and cuddly and warm.

And my house is just so cold today, but I just know on the show I'm going to regret it.

But I had to make a choice.

And this is a choice I made and I'm sticking with it.

You're wearing designer items, as am I.

I am wearing the pink toast crew neck set.

This is the last remaining item from our recent drop that's still available on the website.

Yeah, that's right.

Everything else sold out, and I can't believe this is still available.

It's my favorite one.

It's this gorgeous sort of millennial pink crew, very, very subdued.

The pants have pockets.

They've got an electric, what is it?

Elastic waistband.

I'm wearing a size medium.

You hookers can never.

Shop toastmerch.com.

I feel like every time we do a merch drop, people are like, love this, but can we just get some like branded regular degular merch so we can like rock the toast?

Like, you know, rock the stage at Arrowhead.

Rock the stage at Arrowhead.

They're asking for a low-key classic toast merch.

And that's exactly what this set is.

So for all of you girlies who have just been wanting to subliminally support the toast, nothing crazy, but super cute.

Wait, by the way, this is a set for you.

I need to say this out loud because I will forget to tell you afterwards.

For our next merch shop, like seriously, write this down.

Next merch shop that we do that's like more just like classic logo stuff.

It's going to be called the Low Key Classic Collection.

Okay.

I just thought of that.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Write that down.

Yeah.

that's great love that we've had we have it written down we need to just write down more stuff oh my god so funny yesterday um i was here all day at like 5 p.m taylor strecker came because we recorded her podcast and we had so many funny things we wanted to share and like they we literally just kept going on tangents and like not finishing i actually got a pen and paper and wrote down the things i wanted to say because like i never would have gotten to it No, all the time I'm thinking about stuff that I want to write down or thinking about things that I need.

So much so that I'm thinking about getting an Alexa so I could just like talk to someone and be like, Alexa, write that down.

Love.

But I'm like not an Alexa.

I don't know if this is going to surprise anyone.

I'm not going to be able to do it.

Not going to.

Why?

Because you can't.

It's not going to surprise anyone that I don't want a piece of technology in my house whose job it is to listen to me.

I'm not going to lie.

I have often felt like Alexa was definitely like a bad faith actor.

Alexa is a bad faith actress.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

However, Alexa, what's the weather?

Like changes my day.

Like it's the greatest thing on the planet.

Or if like I'm in the middle of changing a diaper and we're like singing a song, I could be like, Alexa, play wheels on the bus.

And all of a sudden, it's bussing in here.

Bus.

It's wheels on the busing.

On the busing.

Also, if you're cooking and like the recipe is like three half a teaspoon, and you're like, How many liters is a teaspoon?

She's good at math too.

She has her merits.

No,

I all the time am yearning for an Alexa.

I just have to wait until that yearning gets to be more powerful than my

skepticisms.

Fears.

I'm afraid of her.

Fears.

Now, of all the girlies, Siri, Alexa, who do you feel safest with?

Because I feel as though Siri is the most useless bitch on the planet.

Like, I've never leaned on Siri in a meaningful way, and she's never really been there for me in a meaningful way.

Alexa, you know, say what you want about her.

She has been there for me countless times.

I do think if I had to choose a bad faith actress in my home, it would be Alexa.

And the other one is like Google Home, but that one, she doesn't have this number.

She's like, Google Home, can you?

She wipe my ass.

She's like a brand, doesn't have a brand.

Like, I don't know her name.

But then you have to think about the people like there.

You could go with any of these companies, Apple, Jeff Bezos.

Yep.

Right.

Google.

And it's like, who do you want to be in your home with you?

And I think of the three, I would go Jeff, just because Lauren is warming me up to him.

I'm not going to lie.

Also,

also.

What I like about the Alexa, and I'm about to set off everyone's Alexa, but for a good reason, okay?

Alexa, tip my driver.

And it'll send a $5 tip to the person who delivered your last Amazon package, like as it should.

That's really nice.

They did that.

And by the way, you don't have to pay for it.

It's on Amazon's time.

They did that around the holidays.

You could tip your driver.

Thank my driver.

I feel like they should have that more often.

You should be able to do a custom amount if you want to pay for it.

Well, yes, of course, but Amazon's a billion dollar company.

Why should I pay for it?

Yeah, but if you wanted to do more than the $5.

Yeah.

Like maybe you've got a really great driver

who goes above and beyond.

Well, I'm always seeing ring camera footage of drivers going above and beyond.

Above and beyond the Call of Duty.

Like there are people who like, whose kids like love the delivery trucks and they like let them mess around.

You know what I mean?

Like above and beyond the Call of Duty.

Today is such a special day because it finally is Thursday, which is just such a blessing.

I can't, you know, I don't want to overstate that, understate that.

But it's also the day after the Love is Blind weddings episode.

We both watched it.

We are going to do a full recap.

Should we save that for the end?

Of course.

So we'll do the fast five and then the lib,

the lib recap, the libtard,

the libro,

the lib recap, which honestly, I have so many thoughts.

And I feel like it's like the name on everybody's lips is lib, you know?

Yeah, even though the last episode of the season is always just the worst, most boring episode.

What's so funny is last night I went to watch with Zach.

The couples came on.

I was like, wait, time to fast forward.

He was like, okay, Claudia.

And I was like, oh, that's so funny that you know her so well that like, yes, she would do that.

And then this morning I saw your reel.

I seriously I maybe watched 35 seconds of the episode like no it was honestly perfect for me because we went out to dinner last night

I go out yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

and we didn't get to start watching until like 10 45 maybe and it was beautiful because we were done by like 11 20.

I had the longest day I'm like honestly I don't even really want to watch this piece of shit.

I hate these couples.

And then I was like, wait a minute.

I was asleep by 9.45.

Because all the other Love is Blind days have been three episodes.

Like, we were going to have to.

So, when I saw it was just one episode, it's the weddings, which they make a meal out of.

Right, and even when they drop three episodes, you really do want to watch every minute of every episode.

Oh, yeah, there's a lot going on, but this wasn't that, so it was good.

A lot that you could fast-forward through, but we got the gist and we got our answers.

So, we will discuss that at the end of the episode.

And before that, we've got the fast five, you know, the juicy, the juicy news of the day.

Oh, speaking of news of the day, media darling over here.

I don't know if you noticed, like, I'm wearing eyeliner.

I've been up since the crack of dawn.

I went to Good Day New York York just for like a little, you know, press moment, talk about my new special Lean In available on Prime Video in the U.S.

and Canada.

It was just fabulous.

I don't know if you saw Jackson, like you were on TV.

They showed some of our clips.

They showed some of these.

I did see.

I was watching you.

What's so crazy is I went to turn it on this morning.

I'm like, I don't think I get Good Day New York.

I probably get Good Day Florida.

You do.

It's like the classic local news here in New York.

Right, because you're in New York.

So I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't know if I can watch my girl.

So I went to

watch it.

I went to the live stream online.

It was beautiful, fantastic.

I put it up on my computer while I did my makeup.

I had a great time.

And

my girl was fabulous.

Slayed per usual.

I was bouncing off the walls with joy and effervescence, bringing everyone into her warm cacophony of love and humor.

Okay, thank you.

Also, I have three words to say.

Let me think.

Let me think.

You're not going to guess.

Okay, what?

I am Kurt.

You are Kurt.

Kurt is me.

Kurt is you.

Good luck getting a word in.

Kurt.

You are Kurt.

PJOM Energy.

Rosanna's co-host, but it was really like kind of me and Rosanna.

I know Rosanna personally for like many years.

So we've just like really connected.

No, Kurt was giving Jackie O when there's a guest on the show.

Honestly, me and you being like the Kurt and Rosanna of like podcasting.

When we're 60, like so down.

So down.

And I feel like we're always looking for analogous hosts and we can add those to our repertoire like we are also the mike and tony of course of sports are we the hoda and jenna

are we the hoda and jenna honestly like yeah you're the hoda i'm the jenna yeah except that like

we're really like the hoda and kathy like they were the og partnership that's true and i'm so the kathy oh really i think i'm so the kathy in that situation you're so the hoda Oh, I feel like Hoda is just so personable and bubbly and just like brings everyone into her warm fold.

I don't know Kathy.

Okay, by the way, Kathy's like the drunkard.

Like I'm Kathy.

When it's Hoda and Kathy, I'm Kathy, you're Hoda.

When it's Hoda and Jenna, I'm Hoda, you're Jenna.

Like literary queen, buttoned up, first lady, you know, energy.

First daughter, energy.

You were kind of meant to be first daughter.

Like I could see that for you.

I would take it seriously.

And then writing like a memoir about like your time in the house, memoirs from the White House.

Yeah.

I could definitely see that.

But it just depends on like what age you become first daughter.

What do you think is the best age to be first daughter?

It's a really like

it's probably one of the most important questions you've ever asked me.

Because it's such an interesting position because it's not like being a royal that you are your whole life and you get to enjoy the perks along the way.

Like I feel like there's so many different stages.

Like when you're eight years old, like when the Obamas were first daughters, they had the Jonas brothers come to the White House.

How fun is that?

Yeah, but I do think like Malia and Sasha were really young and they had eight years.

And I feel like those were like really, really formative years.

And you kind of want to be as normal.

Like it's fun.

Jonas brothers, haha.

but i no those those aren't the years i would choose i'm just saying like neither fun okay it is but i think it's too those are years that are too important to your like development agreed then you could be like the bush girls who were in their teens and it's like yeah we're in the white house we're sneaking out of the white house i'm going bush girls because i feel like in a weird way as you if you're a little bit older and you're a first daughter you do become like a socialite and if you're living in the white house at the time like i feel like some people like joe biden has kids and they're like 30 like they don't live in the house like oh they're older than that, but yeah.

Yeah, like the, uh, they don't live with their parents.

The Bush, they listed, exactly.

Like, they still lived with their parents.

And, but they're old enough to, like, become like interesting and, like, they're blossoming into young women.

And I feel like you get a lot of attention.

And that's like years where you want attention.

I feel like the Bush girls, what were they, like, 16 and 17?

Yeah, probably at one point.

That's fun, but that's also the age where you make mistakes and then you have this huge spotlight on you.

And it's like, maybe I want to wait until my frontal lobe is fully formed and I'm 25 and I can.

But then you're not, then you're not like a real first daughter.

You're not living in the house.

You're not living in the house.

And if you are living with your parents, like you should, you know, you should look at that.

Work on that.

Like of all the privilege you have, you're living at home.

Like strive to get out.

So I think I would go the Bush girls in terms of age.

I would love to hear from Jenna about it.

I feel like she probably talks about it a lot because she talks a lot for a living.

Yes, yes.

And she talks a lot about her family.

Yeah, so maybe she's probably said this somewhere and I just haven't been listening.

Definitely not.

Also, she seems well adjusted.

Extremely and successful on her own merits.

Right.

Yeah.

Like, when I think of her, I don't think of First Daughter First.

Like, I think of Read with Jenna.

That's what you think of first.

Yeah.

I know most people probably think today's show, but

Read with Jenna is just more pertinent to my everyday life.

Speaking of which, the new episode of The Redheads dropped today.

Speaking of which,

I actually think our book, The Frozen River by Arielle Laughen, was a...

GMA book, not Read with Jenna, but GMA book club book.

We recently read a book that was a Jenna's choice, and so you were like, oh, it's probably not horrible.

She has solid choices.

I would say of the celebrity book clubs, if you were to like say which one has the most winners, I would say Read with Jenna has the best.

That is a very, very hot take.

That's a big statement.

It is a big statement.

And I really feel that way.

Like anytime we choose a book that's been a Read with Jenna book, I feel really good about it.

Yeah, I don't love Reese's book choices, but I feel like maybe I just don't have similar interests as Reese.

I don't love Reese's book choices, but there's, I feel like there's a lot politically that goes into Reese's book club.

Like, there's a lot of things that she's trying to do, a lot of different cooks in the kitchen.

Like, I think she really always like wants to platform like new authors.

And I feel like sometimes the book itself gets lost in the like what she's trying to put behind it.

Yeah.

And then also, like, if something catches fire because of Reese, she wants to be the one to monopolize on if it becomes a TV show or a movie.

So she needs to make sure she has the rights.

The production company, Hello Sunshine, 1,000%.

Yeah.

So sometimes the book we're actually reading is not like the best book of the month.

Right.

I would say.

I would say that we should dive in because we have lots to do today and I'm just kind of itching to get to Love is Vlad.

Tell me about the stories.

Describe them in three words.

I don't know if I can stick to three, but I had a thought about the stories this week, which is that every day there's like so many stories and they're all really good.

And I feel like today it's like there's five stories that are all really solid, but there's probably five more out there that could have been the five.

Right.

They're not like new, newsmaking, groundbreaking, but they're titillating.

Yeah, but there's other titillating things out there.

So people might be like, why didn't you talk about blah, blah, blah?

Like, just because no, maybe we could have if I walk up on a different side of the bed.

You know what I mean?

A thousand percent.

So without further ado, did it do, here are the fast five stories that you need to know.

And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Maidenform, specifically their new collection, M.

Get a taste of M, a hot new collection of craveable intimates from Maidenform, a brand with a whole lot of history.

It is my favorite piece like of you know I'm big into like relaxation bras.

I can't just sleep without a bra I can't walk around my house without a bra I need support at all times.

You're welcome.

Our first story, some Dakota Johnson news, twofold.

One, her and Chris Martin are engaged after six years of dating with Gwyneth's blessing, reportedly.

Of course.

So Cold Play lead vocalist Chris Martin asked Dakota Johnson for her hand in marriage a while ago.

According to the mirror, they have been besotted with each other from day one.

So taking this next step was inevitable, a source said.

They are in no rush to plan the wedding, but are just enjoying making their commitment official.

I love them as a couple.

I love like the whole co-parenting Gwyneth element of it.

I think it's fabulous.

I happen to like think Dakota Johnson is one of the most fabulous people on the, and like on the planet.

Like she's so chic, she's so effortless.

She like doesn't even have to work because she's like a Nepo baby.

She's so gorgeous.

Like she's every to every red carpet she slays.

But I'm so glad you brought her up because I've been meaning to bring this up on the toast.

Okay.

Madam Webb?

Yeah, that was the second part of the story.

She is in a new movie called Madam Webb that is getting just abysmal reviews from the fans, like terrible box office numbers.

People are saying it's like one of the worst movies ever made in the history of cinema.

To me, that's like really enticing that I want to see it.

Like just to see what that means.

That's good.

Like sounds interesting.

Yeah.

But she did an interview recently talking about the box office flop and just kind of owning it.

Saying how to do it.

So the weird thing about it is like everybody says this movie's horrible, but people say movies are horrible all the time.

But the people in it, including Jakota Johnson, are like doing press to sort of acknowledging that the movie was a piece of shit.

Yeah.

So this is what she said to Bustle.

It was definitely an experience for me to make that movie.

I had never done anything like it before.

I probably will never do anything like it again because I don't make sense in that world.

And I know that now.

But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something and it's one thing.

And then as you're making it, it becomes a completely different thing.

And you're like, wait, what?

But it was a real learning experience.

And of course, it's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds.

But I can't say that I don't understand.

She also said, it's so hard to get movies made.

And in these big movies that get made, and it's even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what's really freaking me out, decisions are being made by committees.

And art does not do well when it's made by committee.

Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them.

You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms.

My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart and executives have started to believe that they're not.

Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit.

Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren't going to fucking want to see those.

Madam Webb was giving AI.

Yeah, but I think she makes a really good point.

Like a lot of times like people in those rooms, executives, like they think audiences are stupid and they can put out this garbage, but the cream always rises.

So true.

That's how I feel.

I love that.

I love Dakota Johnson.

Like I just just can't,

it asked me to say one bad thing about Dakota Johnson.

You can't say one bad thing about Dakota Johnson?

I really can't.

I mean, I guess, okay, actually, I could.

But see,

if I talk through it, it'll end up being a positive.

Like, not this person who's literally never acted before in her life getting their first role on a billion-dollar franchise.

50 Shades.

Sorry, that's sleigh icon behavior.

Like, love that.

Yeah.

But do you think she was the right person for that role?

The thing is, I never saw the movies and I didn't read the books.

So I don't know who like the girl is supposed to be.

So I can't say yes or no.

But something about that movie, like I think it did well, but something about that movie is wrong.

It should have been bigger than Twilight, like based on the books.

Yeah, I think one, because the two of them didn't have chemistry and I think they actually didn't get along.

So maybe one of them should have had to go.

I actually think he was totally miscast.

Jamie

Torner.

Yeah, she was okay.

I think I read the first book and I think I saw the first movie.

And like, I say I think because I know I read the book, but I, I think I saw the movie.

Not memorable.

They're always playing it on E.

I've seen like 20-minute chunks of it, like, in different parts of my life.

Yeah, I just don't think that movie is as iconic as it should have been.

I agree.

Based on the following, based on, it's literally like smut.

Like, it should have been smut is so popular.

The thing is, the movie was huge.

I'm sure if we look at how much money it brought in.

It was a success.

But when you watch it back, it's not amazing.

When you watch back Twilight, when you watch back Hunger Games, like those movies are still amazing.

Not only that, but like when you look back on the place it holds in culture, 50 Shades has no place in culture.

Like it's, we've all just moved on.

It was a successful movie.

Everyone made their monies back.

But in terms of like the impact, there was none.

And like the lore, and there's not people who are like making 50 Shades.

Fan fiction.

Maybe there's like a handful, but like 50 Shades, like fan edits.

Speaking of fan fiction, did you see the trailer for the idea of you?

I did.

Anne Hathaway's a new movie based on the book by, I think her name is Robin Lee.

Literally one of my least favorite books of all time.

It was one of the most disgusting, like predatory, pedophilic books I've ever read.

And the trailer gave the same type of energy.

I thought the trailer looked, considering it's like, you know, smut and you said it wasn't even good.

I thought the trailer looked like a pretty decently serious movie.

Oh, I completely disagree.

I thought Anne Hathaway is far too good for this movie when I saw the trailer.

Oh, for sure.

But she made it an Anne Hathaway caliber movie.

Look at that.

I disagree.

But I think just out of sheer curiosity, I think I have to see this movie.

Yeah, it does.

I think it looks better than what the book sounds like.

Was my

book?

No.

It's really gross.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like they needed to make a movie of this book, but they,

you know, put all of the quality into the movie, it feels like they gave it everything they have.

Big budget, sets, actors, actresses.

I like who they chose for the Harry Styles character, Nicholas.

He's a hottie with a body, you know.

Anne Hathaway is an older woman who is believable that, like, this person would fall in love with her.

Yes, and the character of, she plays Soleil.

Soleil.

She's like half-friend.

She owns an art gallery.

She's extremely chic,

very like into art and sophisticated and educated.

And that's so Anne Hathaway.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ann Hathaway is a good casting.

I think they gave it everything they got.

That didn't need to be made into a movie.

This is a book we all should have read and been like, why did we read that and never talk about it again?

Okay.

It's shameful.

There are so many books that should be made into movies.

Agreed.

And there are so many books that get, you know, the rights bought and then never made into movies.

And that's frustrating.

Seven Husbands, The Nightingale, we're still waiting for.

Where the fuck is Seven Husbands?

I don't know.

Are you ready for our next story?

Some more superhero news.

I'm not ready.

Just sorry, one second.

The last thing I wanted to say about Dakota Johnson, things I love about her, I was saying so happy for her and Chris Martin.

But

I think it's important that we not forget the takedown of one, Ellen DeGeneres, was started by Dakota Johnson.

Now, she didn't do anything, just an old

clip of hers resurfaced, and it really highlighted how nasty Ellen was.

Yeah.

And like low-key emotionally manipulative.

Yeah.

So she started that.

And her fans did.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, and then the whole Lyme thing, she has like this funny, like, she like, she does interviews, like random interviews, and she like lies about the most random things.

So in her Vogue 73 questions, she had this big bowl of limes in her kitchen.

And she like sniffs it.

She's like, I just love limes.

Like, they're like my absolute favorite.

And then, like, years later, she was like,

and that clip has gone.

Like, people were like, this was such a weird thing that Dakota Johnson said in her 73 Questions.

And she addressed it years later saying she's actually allergic to Lymes.

They were completely fake.

And somebody, like, you know, they staged her apartment for the 73 questions.

And she just thought it was so stupid.

So she was like, I love limes.

That's funny.

She's funny.

She's got pushbacks.

She's funny.

She's got pizzazz.

Definitely.

I feel like if she's with Chris Martin and Gwyneth likes her, like she's got a good personality.

Agreed.

It's a tough group.

Yeah, and she's, you know, bringing something to the table for sure.

Agreed.

By way of personality and intellect.

By way of intellect.

I like that.

Speaking of some more superhero news, Gal Godot gave birth to her fourth child with her husband, Jaron Varsano, following a secret pregnancy.

So Gal Godot is now a mom of four, which I didn't even know.

that she had been a mom of three.

She announced that she and her husband have welcomed their fourth child, a baby girl named Ori, after keeping the pregnancy under wraps.

She said, my sweet girl,

the pregnancy was not easy and we made it through.

She posted a photo from the hospital bed and she said that the baby has brought them so much light and is already living up to her name, which means my light in Hebrew.

Ugh, I'm obsessed with Goga Jote.

And honestly, like, I imagine her, I didn't realize she was pregnant this whole last year.

And that means she's been pregnant like since October 7th.

And like people, she's become like the face of like

people on the internet.

It's just like Gaga Jote.

Like they hate.

Hate.

She's like really a punching bag for people's anti-Semitism.

And I imagine that's been extremely trying.

And knowing that she's pregnant now, having gone through that, that must have been even more difficult.

Yeah, for sure.

I feel like she's the face of like

the probably the most well-known at the moment and vocal Israeli in Hollywood.

I would say Jew also, not even just Israeli.

Yeah, Jew, but there's a lot of Jews.

There's not so many Israelis that like are that big.

I also think of like Natalie Portman.

Yeah, but I feel like the Israelis and like the Zionist movement doesn't claim Natalie Portman.

She's never been a particularly good spokesperson for her.

She's not enough.

No, no.

Also, Bar Rafaeli, our tax evading queen.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

But she's not like

a woman.

No, she lives in Israel.

She lives in Israel.

Right.

So it's really Gaul.

It's Gaul putting the industry on her back.

And who knew that?

I feel like four children, four daughters.

I had no idea.

She's actually Super Moomin.

I was going to say.

Super Woman.

Wonder Woman.

Right?

No, I wasn't saying Wonder Woman.

Like, she's a Super Woman.

But yeah, she is also Wonder Woman.

I do feel like it's time

for me to see Wonder Woman.

You will like it.

I've never seen it.

It's good.

I've never saw the sequel.

I need to see it.

I think you should do it.

Support our girl.

Right.

That's a fun, like, movie night.

Yeah, Bennis loves superhero movies.

I've never seen any of them.

Except, like, I saw Spider-Man.

Maybe you should see this and then Madame Webb.

No, no.

Madame Webb.

Apparently, people were like quoting direct quotes from the script and posting them on Twitter.

I was cackling.

I guess she

has spiders.

Is she Madame Webb?

Yes, Dakota is Madame Webb.

That's her movie.

And she weaves a web

of sorts.

And some of the lines people are quoting, it's like,

this web Madame Webb weaved was webbed by Madame Webb.

Like,

it's literally like brain dead.

I have to see it.

I am intrigued to say listen.

Must watch.

Add it to the list.

And you know what?

Probably because everybody just likes it so much, like it's giving, I would like it.

That's what I was going to say.

Like, because it sounds so bad.

It sounds like a Hallmark movie, which are horrible, but they're incredible.

Yeah.

I'm going to give it a chance.

Hallmark should do like

really bad superhero movies.

And like Matt, this is like, it sounds like Madam Webb is like if Hallmark took a stab at Marvel.

Yeah.

I love that.

Yeah.

Are you ready for our next story about another strong woman?

No.

Who?

We're giving like Women's Month energy.

It is

International or National Women's Day Day.

I think today's International Women's Day,

March 7th.

But it's also Women's Month.

Oh, yes.

But then there's the day.

And I think it's March 7th.

It's not today.

It's not today.

So tomorrow?

It's Women's History Month, and it's tomorrow.

Okay, so tomorrow we're going to

make a big deal of it.

Who would you sell is a woman that you want to

honor this Women's History Month?

Like, for real or for jokes?

For jokes.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

I agree.

And for you?

Probably myself.

I've been through like an unimaginable amount of things.

And look at me like businesswoman, stronger than ever.

Stronger and more powerful than ever.

So yeah, I'd say me.

Okay.

Love that.

Thanks.

But this next strong woman is breaking down in tears in a new clip from a new interview.

Giselle Bunchen is sitting down with Robin Roberts, talking and mentioning it all.

So there's a new special coming out on Hulu tomorrow, today, called Impact X Nightline, Giselle Bunchin, colon, climbing the mountain.

I don't know what this is in service to, but it's like

it's giving like Oprah and Adele.

We have Robin and Giselle.

Rhymes.

Robin and Giselle from Potomac.

Robin and Giselle are sitting down and having a conversation.

And she does ask a question to Tom about Tom Brady.

You know, Giselle breaks down, like, can I have a moment?

So it feels like that's just like an aside to the interview, not the meat of the interview.

She must be doing something that she wants to promote in this long special.

But it looks really interesting.

I feel like we never hear from her in this sort of format.

We never hear from her specifically in like long form interview.

Also,

she might be one of the most interesting people in the world.

Like she really is because obviously right now Tom and Giselle is top of mind and they were even showing in the trailer like flashbacks to them at like the Met Gala and all of these his corporates.

And like, there's no two,

no more fabulous people than these two.

No, and like there really were like America's couple because she was this just like enormous model everywhere, every billboard, every man.

And he was obviously like the king of football.

So it really was like a match made in yearbook heaven.

It was like the cheerleader and the quarterback.

And I think we all felt involved in one way or another.

And them breaking up was kind of crazy.

And there was like low-key like

stuff.

animus yeah yeah well i feel like she's gonna clear it all up right now i think you probably had to touch on it in order for her to do this interview yeah and i'm sure she'll keep it moving and he's the father of her children so what really would she say

but she will be mentioning it and i also just like want to hear from her on how she's doing what she's doing

she's using her jiu-jitsu instructor yeah that's what That's what we see.

There's a question, you know, would you open your heart again?

And she, you know, she said, I'm living my truth.

and i have she's living her truth though i can't believe she uses phrases like that i feel like she would be i feel like she would be above phrases like that she seems like a tough cookie who doesn't like stoop to saying things like i'm living my truth also english is not her first language and only people who speak english talk that stupid so speak too much english yeah like if you are like fluent in multiple languages you're obviously a person of high intellect

and you don't say dumb things like that you're better at explaining yourself but that's just my truth yeah

Yeah.

So that's exciting.

I think it's out on Hulu today.

And I look forward to seeing clips because let's get real.

Like, I'm not going to sit down and watch the whole thing.

No shade to Giselle.

Just, I know myself.

I have to watch some Adam Webb.

Who is somebody who would sit down for an hour-long interview with Robin Roberts on Hulu that you would actually watch?

Great question.

Taylor, Luke Homes.

Yeah.

Elon, of course.

Elon.

Elon.

That's her answer for everything.

What would would Elon be doing talking to Robin Roberts?

I have to watch.

I don't know.

I feel like Robin Roberts is actually a good interviewer.

I feel like she doesn't come in with any sort of

agenda.

No, no shade to Robin.

But he's always, you know, going on this podcast or other.

No, and he does it like on Twitter Spaces now, like trying to make that a thing.

Twitter Spaces.

Yeah, I won't go to Twitter Spaces, though.

Oh, wow.

She has

very drawling.

Yeah.

Fair.

So he might be saying like the most interesting stuff and I'm missing it.

You might.

And that's something I have to live with.

Okay.

And I'm okay with it.

I'm glad.

Are you ready for our next story, which is some new couple news?

Is this four or five?

Four.

Yes.

Joshua Jackson is passionately kissing Lupita Niango while celebrating her 41st birthday with a Mexican getaway.

So Joshua Jackson and girlfriend Lupita Niango are passionately kissing while celebrating her birthday in Puerto Vallarta.

According to the photos, they were seen packing on the PDA during their weekend in the sand.

So

I love Joshua Jackson.

Like, he really is just one of those people who has my heart.

And personally, I never moved on from him and Diane Keaton.

Like, I stayed there, just collecting around my pin.

He was with Diane Keaton?

No, I'm sorry.

No, no, not Keaton.

Kruger, excuse me, from Inglorious Bastards.

Oh, oh.

They were together forever.

And I feel like every time we talk about them, I tell the story about I saw them buying a TV together in Best Buy, and they were so cute making out on the aisles.

Like, I literally, I stand when I was in college, the Best Buy on 6th Avenue and 18th Street.

And I loved him in the affair.

He's so hot.

Like, I love this man.

So, personally, like, I'm still mourning Diane Krueger slash Keaton, you know?

Got it.

But then he was in another long relationship.

He had a baby with Jody.

Jody Turner-Smith.

And now him and Lupita have been together for three months, but I must have missed their couple announcement.

I had seen, there wasn't like an announcement.

There were reports reports, and then there might have been one photo and then they were silenced.

So I thought maybe like they had just like went on one date and people got ahead of themselves.

Right, right.

No, this confirms like full-blown relationship.

Full-blown.

He's really like a relationship guy.

No, Jackie, he's kind of like a dream man.

Please don't tell me anything bad about him in the comments.

Like, I love him.

I guess that is a good quality.

Like, someone who's looking for serious relationships has seen a lot of them.

Also, I feel like not to keep going back to Diane Kruger slash Keaton, we got no closure.

Not only did they break up like out of of nowhere, he was with Jodi Turner-Smith the next day.

Like it was really kind of like, it was not a good look.

And what's the kind of like red flag behavior?

I know.

What's up with Diane Krueger?

Like who does she date?

Let me look.

I feel like she'd be the type to be married to like a filmmaker, you know?

Yeah, like an artist.

She reminds me of Diana Agron.

Oh, interesting.

Like a grown-up Diana Agron.

Norman Rita.

Happily engaged and parents to a daughter.

And he's an actor.

And former model.

He made his acting debut in the 90s as Murphy McManus in the Boondock Saints, followed by Supporting.

Oh, I'm reading the same thing as you.

I'm cracking up.

He's also in The Walking Dead more recently.

Oh, okay, thank you.

Like, that's what he's obviously.

Even though you guys might know him from the Boondock Saints.

And by the way, I

like his name sounded so familiar.

I'm like, oh, this is like a famous person, but I'm not familiar with his work.

Like, you said it like that.

Norman Reed.

Yeah, I did.

I said it like with a familiar tone in my voice.

He looks like Dave Girl, like twins.

He totally has hair plugs.

You could tell by the way it's like hair plugs.

Do you approve for her?

No.

Oh.

Even though he's famous and successful?

She is so gorgeous, like glamorous.

In some of the biggest and best movies of all time, she's so elegant, classy.

Oh, I don't know who would be right for her.

I love her, and I just love that scene where she chokes the Nazi.

Yeah.

What do you think about Joshua and Lupita?

I'm happy for them if this, you know, if they both are happy.

I just, I'm kind of like now starting to question now that I've sat down and analyzed it, like Joshua Jackson.

It's like, what's going on?

You mean like relationship jumper?

Yeah, and I was going to say, maybe it seems like he doesn't want to settle down, but he literally had a baby with Joni Jody Turner Smith really quickly.

I don't know.

And they were married.

They were married.

So he's obviously not averse to commitment.

Yeah.

But like long term, you know, forever.

Yeah.

Whatever happened to forever.

What about us?

What if we just stayed together forever?

What if?

He's not about it.

I don't know.

He definitely has his red flags, I agree, but he's just so handsome.

Yeah.

Our fifth and final story is some boxing news because Jake Paul is set to fight Mike Tyson in a live Netflix boxing event.

Jake Paul

is set to fight former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a boxing match that will be live streamed on Netflix.

It's scheduled to take place on July 20th at the AT ⁇ T Stadium in Texas and will be available to all Netflix subscribers.

So this is big because it's a big fight for Jake Paul, literally fighting Mike Tyson, which is there a bigger fighter out there.

And it's going to be on Netflix.

So not the usual pay-per-view experience.

This is super interesting.

I feel like this is the first time Netflix has done a live boxing.

They've done a few live events.

Chris Rock, live comedy, which was crazy.

They had the live is blind which was a mess reunion and now they're doing live boxing i love that by the way i do think that that's something they should be doing pay-per-view is so old school like the last couple of times i actually happen to weirdly love these influencer fights i always watch them because they're always on a saturday night it's always like a fun thing to do to invite people over have some drinks i'm always watching and i've never Not had a problem with like the cable company.

I'm always on the phone with the cable.

Actually, I don't have cable anymore.

I wonder how it's going to work for me this time.

Just like,

right, pay-per-view is so old school.

So I kind of love this.

I wonder what the money's like because pay-per-views say what you want about it.

They make hundreds of millions of dollars.

Yeah.

So I'm sure they're making a lot of money.

And as far as fights that I've heard of, especially for Jake Paul, who his fights have millions of viewers just because of him, like he's fighting Mike Tyson, like that's a big deal to me.

Yeah, of course.

This is like the equivalent of when Logan Paul fought Floyd Mayweather, which was so major.

Right.

And of course he lost because Floyd Mayweather is still in fighting shape, you know?

Yeah.

I do think Jake Paul like actually has a chance only because he's so much younger.

And that's, that stands for something, you know, it's who can last the longest.

Yeah, and he is a really good fighter.

Yeah.

I guess it's a win-win for him because if he beats Mike Tyson, oh my god, I beat Mike Tyson.

And even if he loses to Mike Tyson, it's like, I fought Mike Tyson.

Yeah, no, and it's so good.

I feel like those two, especially, I think Logan kind of gave up on it and went went to the WWE after that Floyd Mayweather thing.

He like didn't continue with trying to be taken seriously as a boxer.

He went to WWE, which is, it's like fake wrestling, but it's huge.

It's like the most global brand.

He's, so that was actually really smart.

He's like the official beverage.

I just actually read that their

prime.

What's the, what is it?

Like an energy drink?

Yeah.

Just outsold Gatorade.

It's like it's that's crazy.

Everywhere, I just want to say, I've never seen anybody drinking it.

However, I was having this conversation with the Taylors and Taylor Johnny.

He was like, no, no, no.

My nephews, like young boys, are obsessed with it.

Like, it's that Logan Paul fandom.

So I actually think.

And Zach Shapiro.

And Zach Shapiro.

I'm on their PR list.

Yeah.

I'm on the PR list.

And I give it all to him.

Good.

I'm so glad he's getting what he wants.

Because I've been breastfeeding, so like I don't need hundreds of milligrams of caffeine, but actually now I kind of do.

So maybe I'll keep it.

So he went like a totally different route, very businessy.

Like he is raking it in from the WWE and from Prime.

But Jake really continued with this like serious boxer.

And I feel like it's really paid off for him.

I do really, I take him like seriously as a boxer.

Did you watch his Netflix docuseries until I should have?

Claudia, you can still watch it.

And that will make this fight like way more interesting to you.

Oh, you know what?

Maybe I will.

And if I didn't watch it, I wouldn't even like have registered this fight.

Yeah.

And I'm glad that I did watch it.

And that was the night I went into labor.

Thanks, Jake Paul.

Jake Paul has that sort of effect on you.

Also, I kind of love this story because I feel like we're always saying things Netflix should do.

And they're like always like just doing lame things, like dropping two episodes at a time of a show people finally like.

And this is them finally doing something like good, like from a spreads strategy point of view.

I'm like, oh yeah, thank you.

Duh.

Innovation.

They should have been doing this a while ago.

Yeah.

Well, live sports is always going to be a big market.

And there is this gap because pay-per-view is Stone Age.

Yeah, but it's the same way that like comedy specials are really being kept alive by Netflix.

They could do that with wrestling, which really is this like sort of old school.

Like if they wanted to and they would put on fights and give money to jake paul maybe get logan to come back like they should really like have a boxing like they should work on this because it's a shoe market but the argument made in untold jake paul is that like jake paul has done that for wrestling oh jake paul has like injected new life and she definitely has i've never watched the fight in my life but i do think that as far as distribution it could be even bigger and that's where netflix comes in and maybe they had a good working relationship from the documentary and this is a byproduct of that i do want to say i feel like credit needs to be given where it's due.

And Logan was the first brother.

So

Logan, that's in the documentary.

Oh, okay, okay.

Like, I feel like he, at least for me, opened me up to wrestling when I never would have watched that in my life.

Yeah, but Jake, like

totally took it over, took it over.

And I think he's like really talented too, you know?

I think so too.

It's hard work and natural ability.

Ability and, you know, physical stamina.

You gotta be in good shape.

It's a commitment.

It's a lot of work.

Determination.

Should we have a fight?

Who would win?

win?

Me.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

By the way, how much would somebody have to pay us to like do that?

Like, not that much.

Would it be like boxing or like WWE?

Like, we're kind of like...

No, no, no.

It's not a choreography.

We have to hit each other.

Yeah, not to the point of like knockout and stuff, but like, yeah.

Okay.

I think.

But Jackie, think about it.

Like, millions of people are watching and we're making like millions of dollars.

Right.

So how much would we have to make?

Like, I would do it for $25 million.

I was going to say the same thing.

Overall, a $50 million deal.

Yeah.

Yeah.

For one night.

And we'd agree to go easy on each other, but we'd have to be like, no, we'd have to actually fight.

And I'm not, I don't want to, you know, knock you out, but I'm going to, I'm not going to hold back punches.

Okay.

So somebody, Jake Paul, reach out.

We'll do it.

I'll do it.

I don't give a fuck.

I'll do it.

Yeah, I feel like every time we talk about the Paul Brothers fighting, like we make it about ourselves fighting.

Really?

I feel like this is a brand new conversation.

I have no memory of ever having this combo but again take that with a grain of salt because i think we once said like jake and logan should fight each other for the idea they should

they should have they no so then also there will be other fighters like on the bill like of course openers and such

they haven't programmed it yet i'm hoping for tommy available and i'm hoping for tommy fury we're available And then we can meet Molly.

We're available.

Did you see Molly got her hair done by Chris Appleton?

I did.

She had had fake hair.

They gave her like a full hair makeover, and she looked so good.

It was fake.

But not the hair color.

No, but the

bangs.

Was the whole thing fake?

Yeah.

Wait, what?

She looked so good.

Because she's been posting like regular Molly.

It was a wig.

Oh my God, how lame is that?

Sorry to disappoint.

Okay.

Moving on to the lib recap.

Moving on to the lib recap.

Love is blind.

Weddings last night.

This will contain spoilers, so log off if you're a pain in the ass.

So, three major moments from last night.

First, the conversation between Chelsea and Jimmy, ending their relationship.

Yeah.

And a lot of people are like mad at Jimmy.

Literally, who could be mad at Jimmy?

The only reason I'm like confused is because like he had the opportunity to break up with her after, like, during or right after that fight, and he was sucked back in.

So then, but I do feel like he intended to break up with her after the fight, and she kind of convinced him not to, but then he got back on his own again.

I was like, no, no, no, like we actually have to break up.

Like, we cannot be controls, controls,

citral Z,

citral Z.

That people are like, oh, he's so mean.

He said he wanted to marry her, and then he didn't.

You know what really would have been mean?

Uh, what Clay did, like, literally making her get all dressed up to tell her no in front of her friends and family.

Like, that's the kinder thing to do.

So, how anyone can really be mad?

Like, these two were so, and she was just awful.

Like, even during the breakup, she was awful.

Like, sorry, and this is gonna be such a hot take because everybody's like clay's a dick Jimmy's a dick Sorry, you are allowed to break up with someone No, and you are allowed to say no at the end of this process like it's not the real world You're allowed to wait until the weddings to say no That's what you're supposed to do It's not the real world.

There are a certain set of rules in this show I don't know how Jimmy evaded them maybe because his relationship gave the season the biggest and funniest and craziest storylines and they were like okay you've done your part but for everyone else you have to wait unless you're gonna break up really early in the season like you have to wait till the altar.

Like, it's not necessarily how you would do things, but those are the rules that we're playing by.

So it doesn't bother me that he didn't, like, take her aside.

And we'll talk about Clay and AD.

But first, I want to talk about Chelsea and Jimmy.

And I don't even compare Jimmy to Clay.

No, me neither.

But they both said no.

And like, I just, I feel like a lot of people watching this show, like.

get so mad at them.

Like you are allowed to not be in love with someone.

Like it's not a crime.

This person tried.

My issue with Clay is that there was no one that he was going to meet, no perfect enough relationship that was going to get him to say yes in this time period because he wasn't ready.

And in that situation, like you shouldn't even go on the show if you're not really looking to get married in four weeks.

I mean, he had the TikTok logo on his vision board for this year, and I feel like that told me everything I needed to know about him.

To me, that's his crime.

You weren't ready to go on the show.

Like, now you're going to start therapy.

No, you need to come on whole and really hoping and wanting to be married at the end of the process.

And I have to say,

AD saying yes

was like, was desperate to me.

I really didn't think she was going to say yes.

I don't know why.

Of course not.

By the way, Jackie, first of all, they've been engaged.

He hasn't been sleeping at the house.

All he does is work.

He's very clearly like said 500 times he's really struggling with monogamy.

Like he really doesn't want to cheat on her.

Why the fuck did she say yes?

Do you think that maybe

I can't even put myself in their shoes, but do you think that maybe she knew he was going to say no?

And so it's better to like, just for the fans and everything, to look like the victim.

And like, there we have a story as opposed to two people who are both like, no.

I just, I would appreciate the realness more.

So I.

Yeah.

That was, well, I feel like the whole time.

I was shocked.

The whole time I did feel like she was like.

You do?

The whole time I really didn't feel like she was going to say yes.

But then when she did, I feel like that is the moment where like whatever lies you've been telling yourself this entire time, like they end.

You're not.

Because of course it's so real.

It's a legal ceremony.

Right.

You're not really going to like marry this stranger.

Because you've made it to the end of the episodes.

You have accomplished your goal.

You're on TV.

You're on TV.

Now this is your real fucking life.

Yes.

You're not.

Come on.

The lies end here.

It's so true.

It's like, boom, cameras are off.

Like, let's be real with one another.

Yeah.

Like, this is your real life.

So when she said yes, I was like, oh, have I been misreading this the entire time?

It would have been a good Jimmy said yes at the altar.

you know what it reminded me of because i've been on such a journey with ad and i remember in the pods in the first few episodes i thought she was so

insincere and so almost just like desperate to get a match not because she's desperate for love but because she wanted to be on the show yeah and then throughout this process i actually felt like she was really giving her her real heart and very genuine and the second she said yes to somebody she so clearly should have said no to and she's not a dumb person she's like a smart successful woman it reminded me of the ad i met in the pods and my first instinct on her which was like oh oh she's not serious i agree In the pods, I thought she wasn't super serious, like wanted to be engaged.

But then I thought when she met Clay

that they were really good match at certain points.

And like, I think they were both so happy with each other.

Like couldn't have asked for more from this process.

Like they're both incredibly good looking and like they were having fun together.

But then their real lives don't mesh.

Just.

you know, everyday habits and routines.

Like they're not a great match for each other.

And yeah, that's why I fast forward through all this stuff before the wedding.

Of course.

Because because like everything they say in that moment, it's like lies, lies, lies.

It's true because you don't really know their absolute truth until do you.

That's how I felt.

You know who like turned me off to all of it?

Like throwback?

Deep D.

The way

I literally knew you were going to say that.

Oh, I'm glad that you agree because the way like you think she's like hopelessly in love with this guy who's like not being serious enough and like that she wants to make a word

and like she wants a serious relationship and all of her wedding confessionals like talking about their relationship and then just like turned on him at the altar, which she should have done because he was not a great guy.

But it's like, no, but everything leading up to the weddings is a lie.

But it's like, you turned up, you lied to us, the viewers, in every confessional.

The second the bride or groom, you see their foot step out of the car and enter the venue, like in their morning clothes, I skip until because you know what?

It's all fake.

It's a lie.

Literally, everything they say, you watch it, you're like, how would these people not get married?

They say, this is my person.

I feel so myself.

I've never been this happy in my life.

Crying with their parents, sending them letters.

And then I don't.

I literally, it's defies logic.

It's giving irrelevant and they should actually just, for the sake of the show, take all of that out.

These people aren't actors either.

It's not fair to them to make them lie.

And then everybody was like, that conversation between Clay's parents was so moving.

And I was like, what conversation?

Okay, for some reason.

For some reason, I didn't skip that.

I just had landed there.

And I actually like.

I didn't find it so moving.

I just felt that that woman is a queen.

Yeah.

And the one hand, she was being like so forgiving and

gracious.

And on the other hand, but being like, but don't forget what you did.

And also like this process had brought out even like more information.

Like he always knew that she knew that he had been cheating on her, but like there was even more.

He was taking the kid on the, on the cheat trips.

Like she was hurt in this process too.

Jesus, like, and Clay wasn't even ready to go on the show.

So he goes all this harm with his family for what?

And by the way, Then that's the other thing because Clay said, I don't, I think it would be irresponsible for me to get married.

A very reasonable thing to say.

But he didn't say, I don't love you and I don't want to see you anymore.

And she was just basically like, I can't date someone who wouldn't choose me.

And that happens a lot with this show.

They had this conversation in another episode.

And he said, like,

why can't we just date?

Like, why do we have to be on this timeline of getting married?

And she said, if you do not marry me, like, I'm not dating you afterwards.

What do you think about that?

I don't know if she felt that way or if she's been told to say that because if everybody was able to get away with that, then they would all say no and just continue dating.

And it wouldn't be a marriage show.

It would be a dating show.

So I think it's very high stakes.

I don't know what's in your contract, but I think it's very high stakes to like say no and then continue to date.

But a lot of people who say no, they don't continue to date.

No, they don't.

You've never really seen anyone continue to date.

And so I kind of understand being like, no, I'm, I'm, I think she said 10 toes in on this and I'm going through the whole process as it's meant to be.

I also think the people who go on the show are usually older who really want to be married.

So it's like, if we're not getting, we found each other.

If we're not getting married today,

why would we be getting married in a year from now?

I get, I see both sides.

Obviously, rationally, it's like, let's just date.

I like you.

You like me.

Yeah.

But it's like, I think that's a flaw in the show.

It's about a commitment, though.

Yeah.

And it's about a leap of faith and being like, maybe we don't have everything worked out, but you are the right person for me.

And I, we want all of the same things.

And I want those things.

So let's start now.

Well, two people who did take a leap of faith, Johnny and Amy, perhaps two of my least favorite people.

Actually, not even two, just one i johnny probably my least favorite person to ever grace any reality tv show ever yeah

i feel like they're gonna show up at the reunion pregnancy pregnant triplets

imagine no i'm sorry i once again i stayed there just collecting around my pinned up pair they moved on he's so sweet to her brother there's so many great things i'm still with the condoms i'll never get over it you shouldn't either yeah did you think they were gonna get married No.

When I was watching.

I thought she was lying the whole time.

Every time they showed her on camera, I'm like, this bitch is lying.

Oh, my God.

But I was wrong.

When I watched the bit of their wedding footage, like before they got to the answers, I was feeling it.

Yeah, of course, she was so emotional with her brother and her dad.

Oh, my God.

It was really, it was beautiful.

I stopped fast forwarding the second I saw her at the end of the aisle.

Like, that's where I started.

It was beautiful.

And I actually happened to really like her.

When I talk like shit about them, I'm actually only talking about him.

Of course.

There's literally nothing not to like about her.

I could see him being one of these crazy husbands, like who controls what their wives eats and doesn't let her leave the house.

I'm being dead serious.

He gives me so the willies.

Yeah, but I just feel like she's stronger than

you think.

Wait, do you remember that couple?

Hold on.

I just had a memory

from, I think it was the last episode.

The girl was a toaster.

The last episode?

The last season.

Two seasons ago.

We didn't watch last season.

Oh, so what was that season for?

So that was like Chelsea and Kwame.

Was that that season?

No, maybe it was the one before.

Hold on.

And then there was one with like Bartiste.

I didn't watch that.

Oh, wait, was that Bartiste's season?

Then there was one with like Shane and Deep D and Natalie.

Fuck.

I think they're still married.

Hold on.

She's a toast.

She's during me a lot.

Yes, she was like in Facebook group.

Oh, Colleen and Matt.

Do you remember?

I think that's the bar T season I didn't watch.

He was so nutty.

Like, he really gave like kind of scary energy sometimes.

And then I think they ended up getting married.

Hold on.

They said yes.

They are still married at the reunion.

After almost two years of marriage, they moved in together.

After which I need to look at her.

I need to look at their Instagram.

I forgot about her.

He was so fucking crazy.

And everybody was like kind of worried about her.

But then they're like, you know, everybody moved on.

Yeah, wait, hold on.

Does she have any pictures with her husband?

Yes, they're still married.

Oh, my God.

He was so crazy, Jackie.

Well, you have to remember two things.

One, it's a TV show.

Things are edited to be a little more dramatic than they might be.

And two, there's a lid for every pot.

Honestly, like, I forgot about this girl.

She's like so pretty and

cute looking.

She looks like a good person to just follow on Instagram for like style and spell.

Send me her page.

I will.

Does anybody remember what I'm talking about?

I'm sure they do.

I did not watch this season.

Got it.

It was a good season.

Okay, I just sent it to you.

So yeah, they said yes.

Can't wait to catch up with them at the reunion.

I hope Netflix does not do this moronic live reunion again.

There's no way they're going to.

That was a disaster.

For everyone.

Nobody had a lower Q score on the planet than Vanessa Lachey.

Like, it was.

Not even that.

The tech issues.

Of course, no, I'm saying that.

We all waited like an hour, and then they just had to film it and then post it.

It wasn't even live.

We didn't even wait an hour.

We made it 24.

Right, because they just felt like we were all sitting there.

They kept being like, it's about to start.

We were all like checking the Lachey's Instagram.

And then they were like, okay, we can't get our shit together.

We're just recording it, and then it will post it.

Yeah,

there's no way they're doing that again.

Please no.

Even though they're obviously getting into live, like

in sports, live sports is good.

Yeah.

Live reunion, not so good.

Also, by people who are not entertainers, who are not concise

and they need editing.

Yeah.

I felt like because there's obviously like somewhat of a time limit with a live show, you don't get to everything.

And with like a pre-recorded, edited moment, you can cover all your bases and cut out anything that's boring.

And people either feel pressure to answer quickly or they're taking up too much time with their answer and both things are bad.

Yeah.

So, no live, please.

Have we ever had a couple who got married and by the time the reunion rolled around, they were divorced?

No, but I also think the reunions are no, they're not new.

There's been reunions the whole time.

And they're always filmed really close to the air date because they want to get like the most up-to-date.

I feel like this reunion was filmed last week.

Maybe when they were on high.

Me too.

Also, I saw that people are saying that Jess and Harry Dousey pictures are old from this summer.

I saw somebody say that too, but I don't know if that's true.

We could look it up.

No, but like,

why are they just, I don't know.

Why would they just be coming out of the middle?

Well, because we didn't know who she was this summer.

TMZ says last year.

They're from last year.

But oh, yeah, TMZ said pics were taken months ago, but this article was written yesterday.

Oh, okay.

Here's the deal.

Nobody knew who this woman was until the latest season of Love is Blind, in which she stars, which is why the photos of Jessica and Harry cuddling up in Mexico from this past September completely flew under the radar.

Oh, I kind of like love

Maybe they're no longer together and they had their fun, and now she can, you know, butterfly fly away.

How did they meet

Netflix HQ?

Netflix HQ.

She was probably there for a meeting.

He does like a lot of the social content.

Netflix HQ.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, you're right.

Maybe they had him hosting something.

Maybe they were like in the lobby, each getting a coffee.

Such sounds like a movie we'd watch on Netflix.

On Hallmark.

Yeah.

So this has been such a blast.

And the reunion is next week.

We will, of course,

be recapping it.

And that's our show.

A nice, a nice long one.

They always are.

But if it wasn't long enough and you need more swirly content, the Redheads is out now.

And it's a really funny episode about a great book.

I'll say that.

That's all she'll say.

It was just an interesting, what was so shocking.

I don't want to spoil the episode, but it's historical fiction, 1700s, about a midwife in Maine.

Like, it sounds dreadful, right?

Horrible.

Snitch liked it.

Oh.

But snitch is growing up.

Snitch is growing up.

And it's beautiful, but it's hard as her big sisters.

I mean, what makes you feel older than that?

Than snitch liking a book about a midwife.

From the 17.

I've never read a historical fiction book in earlier than the 1900s.

It was like post-revolutionary war vibes, like getting the country, you know,

assembled, like land.

Paul Revere is mentioned, Thomas Paine, and

three words.

Snitch liked it.

Snitch.

That she did.

Those are spooky haunting words.

And with those spooky haunting words, we will leave you.
