Hot Take 101: Friday, March 24th, 2023

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast.

And

Friday, Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday.

Everybody's looking forward to the weekend.

Weekend.

Friday, Friday.

Getting down on Friday.

Hey.

How you dern?

Dern good.

Happy Friday, everyone.

We made it.

We went through a little hump in the latter half of the week.

Not even, not even.

This has been a week.

It has been a week, but doing the audio.

Emergency room.

Right.

Flashlight.

Oh, go ahead.

Yeah.

My first period.

Jackie O being hit by the sinus infection.

My God, every day it's something else.

Passport.

That was kind of like a win for us, not really.

Passport to

Such a good movie.

I have to go back and watch all those Mary Kate Nashley movies.

I've actually been getting like clips of them on my TikTok.

They're so good.

They age so well.

I watched them a few years ago.

Maybe it was during COVID or maybe it was before.

And like, they are truly masterpieces.

Like,

wouldn't change a thing.

What do you think is the best one?

It just depends on like your vibe and what kind of city you want to be in.

I think Our Lips Are Sealed is utter perfection.

Our lips are sealed.

But so is Holiday in the Sun, like the commercial for Atlantis.

Passport to Paris is great.

New York Minute is unreal, but they're a little older.

They're more mature.

It's a little more exciting.

Yeah, no, the New York Minute one, it's kind of advanced.

You know, they're skipping school.

They're kissing boys.

They're kind of

fast.

Yeah, no, they're kind of like loose.

Well, just the one and the other one has to be pushed into it.

Right, right.

But, you know, in the end, it ends up being good for both of them.

Yeah.

They're all really amazing, except for Winning London.

That one, like, just doesn't stick with me.

I don't even remember that one.

What's the plot?

They're like doing like they're part of mock trial or something and their team goes to London Not Mach Trial, but what's the other one?

Model UN.

Model UN.

It was something like that.

I was on Model UN.

Yeah, so they're a Model UN and the competition is in London and the competition is stiff.

By the way, I went to a Model UN competition in high school.

It is stiff.

I think that like Model UN probably accomplishes more than the actual UN.

Yeah, no.

And I really learned a lot about the inner workings of the UN.

I kind of had like an irrelevant country, which was annoying because like the topic at hand was like Iran and nuclear, like it was a serious topic given for the, for the, the conference.

And I was Mongolia.

And when I tell you, like, no one remains less affected in like world news than Mongolia.

Like they just, they're like a small farm.

Like they just really had nothing to say.

But like your grade and your participation is based on your, what you contribute.

So I'm like making shit up about the kids and it was a transformative experience.

Was it hard for you to not really be like a star player in the Iran nuclear negotiations?

I was like, I either want to be Iran, America, or like Russia, or I'm out of here.

You could be Israel.

You could be really any nuclear power.

Yeah.

Because then you have say.

Right.

And I had literally no say.

And they said it was like random assignments of

the countries.

But I like got really into Model UN.

I think me and my friends like tried out, partially as a joke, but also we were juniors.

Like you just needed to like stack your resume for college.

So we were like, you know, we were like, no one's going to join Model UN.

And we all like got to the audition.

And I was the only one who made it.

And like, I actually loved it.

And it was just like a, I stumbled into a passion of mine.

Are you supposed to be a diplomat?

I.

The thing is, I'm not very diplomatic.

Like the part of being a diplomat that like requires you to be diplomatic is not my strong suit.

But the part where you get on the floor, like fight for your rights, oh, that's so me.

Yeah, I see that for you.

I feel like we'd be a good, it's never just like one person that represents.

Yes, literally, it's one person represents the country, but there's always like a team of people at the table where people have like different strengths.

Even in like the UN, there's obviously speaker, translator, et cetera, et cetera.

I feel like we'd be a good team because I don't want the floor, but I am extremely diplomatic.

And you get like a weirdly a lot of perks as a diplomat.

Like I think you get like immunity from like crimes and shit.

Yeah, and you get like housing in your in like a foreign country.

And it's usually like the ambassador houses in New York City are like townhomes.

They're kind of gorgeous.

There is a delegacy.

Is that the right word?

Is it one person or?

No, like the country of some country owns the entire floor in my building.

So like the embassy?

Yay, no, no, but it's like for the diplomats.

That's where they live when they come to town.

And you can't get there.

The diplomats live in the embassy.

Claudia, this is literally passport to Paris.

Jackie, they don't live in the embassy.

The embassy is like for people who are from your country.

Yes, but no travelers.

Why wouldn't they live at the embassy, like shorten the commute?

I mean, for sure, because it's an office building, but then they also have like residences.

And one of the residences is in my building.

And you, by the way, like one of the, it's like impossible to get to only one of the elevators goes.

And it has like a secret code.

I've never seen it and actually I don't even know because Ben was the one who told me that like he actually met some one of the delegates and they told him and it was like a whole big secret.

It's like kind of like a crazy thing.

It is but that is passport to Paris.

I'm pretty sure their dad like got is a delegate.

Yeah, he's a diplomat.

And they live in like this mansion

with their chef.

Yeah.

Privilege.

Privilege.

Mary Kay and Ashley were totally privileged.

When they were went on holiday in the sun and they flew to Bahamas, they flew private.

Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right.

like they didn't even try

to be like too relatable in the movies yeah yeah yeah kind of love that for them it's like where these twin billionaires deal with it yeah

i get what i want and this winter break i want jordan sucks to suck

such an iconic moment in time justice for the kids today he'll never have that no they have crap Crap.

Actually, you know what they do have, even though it's not for kids, but I'm just trying to segue.

I started a new show last night on HBO Max.

It's called The Other Two.

The fuck is that?

And I'm surprised nobody like it.

And I was surprised to see somebody told me to watch it.

I'm like, oh, it must be like, you know, the first couple of episodes.

No, we're like well into season two.

I've doubted, like, I haven't heard a thing about it, but it's produced by Lauren Michaels and it stars Molly Shannon.

And basically, Molly Shannon has three kids, two older ones and one younger one.

And the younger one becomes like overnight, like a Justin Bieber.

He like posts this video.

And the other two kids are like, you know, one of them is an aspiring actor, but he's, you know, failing and he's just like, you know, going to auditions in between shifts at a restaurant.

And the other is like this failed dancer and she doesn't know what to do with her life and they don't know what to do because their brother is like becoming so rich and famous.

And the writing, oh my God, it is hysterical.

There was like this scene and it's like kind of stacked.

Like Wanda Sykes is in it.

They

sit the family down and have this binder.

They had a PR company go through like all the bad things that they've ever done that could reflect poorly.

on Chase, the younger brother.

And the daughter obviously had like this huge binder full of problematic shit she never did.

And they were like, did you dress as terry shivo for halloween it was such a niche reference like i hadn't heard the name terry shivo in so many years the writing is very funny i actually think you would like it oh my god i think i would like it too that sounds really funny i have seen one commercial for it so i know like the justin bieber thing like i have heard of that right just but i thought it was maybe even a movie like i never saw it or heard about it again i started a new show yesterday too because i was sick and i was like what is something i've been saying i'll watch but i don't have the time and there were like a million things.

I'm like, I still don't want to watch them.

But I started Abbott Elementary because everybody said that I would like it.

And based on what I've seen about it, it looks like I would like it.

And it's won so many awards.

So I was like, okay.

And then it turned like, it's like just a quick sitcom, which is exactly what I wanted on my sick day.

Really easy to get into.

I thought it was really cute and really funny.

There are some really funny moments.

I mean, Mrs.

Howard is my queen.

Yeah.

Like, period.

I don't want to hear anything from anyone.

And Mrs.

Texas.

You, by the way, you literally are Mrs.

Howard.

I literally am Mrs.

Howard.

And Miss Teagues is just so annoying.

That's Miss Teegs?

Quinta Brunson's character.

Oh my God.

Like, I know she's the protagonist in every episode.

She learns her lesson and she's just like this over-eager beaver.

Right.

She just doesn't understand how things actually work.

She just lives in like fairyland and wants things to be perfect.

But like, Mrs.

Howard is working with what she has.

It's so true.

Mrs.

Howard is a realist, and that's me.

What do you think about the principal?

Because when I watched, everyone was like, the principal is so funny.

I found her to be so annoying.

I find her to be annoying, but she has some good moments.

Yeah, the writing on the show is very good.

Like, it's very funny.

Yeah, there are just some really funny, like, tropes and characters.

Of course, Chessie is in it playing, like, this sexy Italian woman who means business.

But I thought it was really good.

I think I probably watched like eight episodes, and I really enjoyed it.

It's nice to just have like a sitcom on that's,

you know, not gonna make me

feel

down or up or anything, just like, you know, how most people watch Friends or 30 Rock.

And there's so many campers.

Yeah, and the campers are cute, but I feel like we don't get to know the campers on an individual level.

Like we never hear from the same camper twice in two different episodes.

No, it's so true.

The campers are not like kind of

like transient.

I guess they're kind of extras.

I guess that's how teachers, not how they feel about their students, but it's like you have them for one year and then it's a whole new batch.

Like it's really not about them.

It's really about the teacher's lounge drama, right?

Which is why I'm desperate to be a teacher.

I know.

I have to get to the teacher's lounge.

Is this making you want to be a teacher more or less?

Um, both.

There are certain aspects that I'm like, oh, that's fucking torture.

Like, you know, the kids being on the carpet, we don't have budget for new carpets.

No, thank you.

Like, just like the thought of like the books being like all sticky from like kid paws.

Um, but the love of the campers, the teacher's lounge cosmari, like the vending machine guy and Melissa,

I need to be there.

It's exciting.

Yeah, I guess none of the like really teachery aspects are what make me want to be a teacher, I guess.

No, no, not at all.

It's just like all the perks.

Yeah, all the perks.

I'm sure the teachers listening are like, yeah, all the perks of being a teacher.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I'm so glad you finally started.

That feels nice to check something off your list.

Yeah, even though like the list is so long, it's like OBX season three, White Lotus.

Okay, here's the thing.

With White Lotus, like part of the fun is being, you know, watching it with everyone else and, you know, being a part of something and guessing and theories all in the moment.

I honestly don't think you like you're genuinely too late.

Yeah, no, there have been so many times where it's like I've sit down to watch something and I can, I have the time and it's like White Lotus is on my list and I just continue to bypass it.

Like, yeah, you can probably remove it from your list.

It's pretty much removed, but it's, it's just there just in case, you know, in an emergency, I need to download a show for a flight.

Like, what am I going to do?

Right, right.

So I know who dies.

So

because she spoiled it in her speech.

And now I've just ruined it for you.

Yeah.

If you're listening and with a keen ear.

So we've got a great show.

It's so great to be back in studio with you, Jax.

I really hate podcasting from home.

Like, it's really toxic.

I did not leave my house yesterday.

Like, I don't, I'm not like a big, you know, leave the houser, but when I do leave the house every day for the toast, I'm getting my required oxygen, my required vitamin D, the bare minimum.

And I didn't get that yesterday.

And like when I went to bed, I was not okay.

Yeah, you need to leave your house in order to appreciate being in your house.

You need to work for it.

True words.

You need to earn it.

Yeah, you need to earn it.

For me, yesterday, the only difference between yesterday and today was obviously feeling sick, but just not putting on makeup because I still recorded in my studio looking at my gorgeous turdy lou

on

the screen right here.

But yeah, I'm feeling like it's still without doing makeup and like video it just doesn't feel the same i just feel i know even though for people who listen to this podcast which is the majority of you nothing is different no that's the thing like yesterday to me was so different it was like a crazy radical opposite day opposite day everything's upside down and i always forget like literally a fifth of our audience watches maybe maybe less on youtube so like as long as we're putting out premium audio like Most of our audience remains unaffected.

But to me, like the big deal is like the studio, the bright lights, lights, camera action.

Yeah, because we're obsessed with being on camera because we're just like egomaniacs.

Maniacs.

Maniacs.

Maniacs.

We're like, oh, no, there's people watching on YouTube.

We must do video.

And we must, and we do, and we will.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Plus for the reels.

Now everyone's doing it.

I know.

Like, it's so fun being ahead of the curve.

Yeah, like.

We've always done video and audio.

So when we made the jump to reels, it was a no-brainer.

But now people who've only ever done audio have to record themselves in order to make these reels.

That's what's so interesting about like the podcasting landscape that's really actually confusing to me.

Is like in the last year, podcasting has gotten even bigger.

You know, we're in more households and podcasting has really taken over.

But unless you're a podcast that films, you are irrelevant.

Like, it's crazy to me how the medium at its core is audio focused, but like the biggest and the best and really a way to get ahead is to video it.

I'm trying to think of podcasts in the top.

I don't think the daily does

video.

Who even does the daily?

Who hosts?

I don't know.

I don't know a name.

I don't know a face.

Yeah, me neither.

It's a faceless podcast.

Yeah, but like the big podcasts are all done on video.

Yeah, especially like in comedy, which is really what I compare ourselves to.

Yeah.

I'm sure in the top, like the crime ones don't do video.

Yeah, and the newsy ones, like the daily news ones, like NPR.

Yeah, but like NPR is radio.

Heather McDonald does video.

Does Smartlist do video?

They should.

That's a good question.

I feel like they don't because we would see their clips because they have like the biggest celebrities in the world.

You're so right.

Office ladies, I feel like they don't.

I can't believe they're so big, you know, like the office.

Like it's just, there's so many recap podcasts.

And like, well, I think one, people love the office, but two, they must be great podcasters because it's not enough to just be like a beloved rewatch show.

Plus, their interview, their most recent episode is an interview with Will Farrell.

And like, he's not even on the office.

So it must be the office.

I feel like they kind of evolved past The Office and Beyond.

I should get Zach to listen to that because he loves The Office.

David Spade and Dana Carvey have a podcast that's number five today.

I don't think they do video.

Oh, our faves, Tom Segura and Christina.

They do video.

They do video.

Theo Vaughn does video.

Oh my God.

I have recently stumbled into Theo Vaughn Stanhood.

I like never had even heard of him.

And then I went down such a fucking rabbit hole.

He did an episode of In Bed with Joan.

Remember that?

Okay, but who is he

primarily?

A comic.

A comic turned podcaster.

Turned actor, like does a bunch of stuff.

When Joan had him on, he was just a comic.

He was a stand-up comic who I think had just released a movie or something.

Okay.

And he looks so different i was shocked he didn't have a moment no

and he's kind of like and

he's so different now like even his brand of comedy has evolved so much i was like who is this guy um but thanks to tick tock like i was served so many clips of his podcast he's always saying the most out-of-pocket shit and he makes any conversation like the way we can like the good guys turn any conversation into like about food or judaism he will turn any conversation into this kid he grew up with in his neighborhood like oh there was a kid in my neighborhood who was blind like he oh there's a kid in his neighborhood for everything.

And it's so funny.

He's so funny.

And I really, I'm so late, but I'm just discovering.

Yeah, that is so funny.

And I'm glad he's going viral and that you're discovering him that way, because that's what we're hoping for for us.

Of course, the reels.

Like, I never would have thought, like, Turdy Lou, Theo Von Stan.

But that's what reels do.

They bring people together.

And they target you, especially TikTok algorithm.

They know what you're doing.

I was targeted by Tim Dylan videos.

Is that how you discovered Tim Dylan?

Maybe on Twitter first.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of the genesis, but like I think it was like he had some funny tweets and then he went on Joe Rogan and I happened to be doing like a road trip.

So it was like one of the more recent episodes.

I was like, oh, this guy's funny like on Twitter.

I'll listen.

And Zach and I were.

crying.

Crying.

Oh, that's sad.

And then like he has his own podcast and I started following him on Instagram because he posts like videos from his episode and just the videos are so funny.

And then we just like send them back and forth.

So yeah, I've been targeted, Turdy Lou.

I'm a target.

no and i feel like people are always asking us for like podcast advice or whatever and the advice is like if you ain't a reals people you ain't a real people irrelevant people you ain't real people yeah

that's my advice of the day business advice

once your podcast like is in a good place you're talking about interesting things you're having a fresh unique take on something and you're not just repeating what everyone else is saying.

Right.

No, and you're not like,

I have a hot take.

I have a really hot take.

I know I'm i'm gonna get canceled for this and they like do this whole big and it's like donuts should be cold

no no because

no no no like like they say something so obvious you know

and like some not even remotely cancelable they say like

let me just wait let me think because there's like so many oh okay i got it this is every podcast these days

I'm about to say something crazy, like hot take coming your way.

And honestly, I feel like I could get canceled for saying this, okay?

Are you sure you want to say it?

Yeah, whatever.

The word moist is disgusting.

It's like, uh, okay, unoriginal thought, not a good take, not a hot take, and like boring.

Yeah.

Oh, four for four.

Four for four.

Yeah.

Um, okay, we have like a lot to get into.

Selena Gomez is like starting more trouble.

The Vanderprump Rules reunion was yesterday.

We got some like paparazzi photos.

We've got a lot from the reunion.

We have seating charts.

two charts, two seating charts.

We have a recap story for Mandy, paparazzi pictures.

We have as much as we can do.

It is the second story, not the first.

They've been usurped by Selena.

They've got to keep an eye out for Selena.

That's what I'm currently doing right now.

And that's what Theo's been doing all week.

How's Theo's eye?

Thank you for asking.

It's much better.

Pretty much the next day, it went back to normal once he had antibiotics in and it hasn't been bothering him.

But he is still wearing his cone and like he is so bothered by the cone.

Today, he woke me up at like five in the morning.

He went to go scratch his ear, and he was scratching the cone, so it was like nails on vinyl.

Thank God I went back to sleep.

Um, oh god, or else it would be another episode like Tuesday.

Yeah, no, I actually slept amazing last night.

I love sitting in the bed alone with Theo, it's everything.

Do ta-doo, doo-da-doo.

Gorgeous angel.

Excuse me.

Bless you.

Ready?

Ready?

Without further ado, did it do to do about do-da-do-da-doo's eye.

What can I say except you're welcome?

Our first story, Selena Gomez has posted to her Instagram story to weigh in on what is going on between her and Haley over the last few weeks.

She posted a text story that said, Haley Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity.

This isn't what I stand for.

No one should have to experience hate or bullying.

I've always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.

heart.

In the words of, you know, pop icon Jojo,

it's just a little too late, a little too long, and I can't wait.

You know, all the right things to say, but you know, it's just too little too late.

Like the wave of bullying is over.

Like it was a 10-day period of ruthless bullying about Haley's looks, her marriage, her business, everything.

And now you want to come in and be the hero?

I don't know.

It's It's the timing ain't right for me.

But do you not think that Haley recently reached out?

Like, maybe, maybe for you, it seems like, you know, the articles have died down, the TikToks, you're not seeing as much, but like, maybe for Haley, like it's still unmanageable.

And I think what's so crazy is like, I'm sure the last thing Haley ever wanted to do was reach out to Selena and have to be like, I need your help.

But Selena is the only person who could stop this, considering one, it's her fans who have taken up their torches.

And two, she fanned the flames for weeks.

Yeah.

no, and you're right.

Selena really is the only one who can get these

people to stop, but

they're like, and now, so once she's posted that, I wanted to see what the Selenators were saying, the Jelena fans.

And they're like, isn't it funny how Selena had to post this?

And like, Justin wouldn't even speak up for Haley.

Like, their marriage is a sham.

Like, it's non-stop.

Like, it's still, they're insatiable.

What could Justin say that would satiate these people?

I don't know.

I just feel like...

Also, like Justin, I mean, I'm sure his wife's mental health is of the utmost priority for real.

But like, he is like not okay.

He's like dealing with mental, with health issues.

He's like doing better recently.

But like, on the one hand, I feel like if he posted like a text story, everyone would be like, Haley Brotis.

Right.

And like, he really can't.

She held a gun to his head.

He really can't come on and do a video because like he's not 100%

still not.

So he's doing better, he had said recently, but I don't think he's like totally cured.

I don't know what his, what's going on.

Got it.

He's still like suffering a bit.

So I don't know that he wants to come on and do a selfie video.

Please be nicer to my wife.

No, so many things about this are so weird because at the end of the day, like the fans felt even more justified and even more passionate about going after Haley Bieber because Selena kind of sanctioned it with her comments on social media.

I do feel like this really is too late.

I'm sure the threats are still coming, but it's not the height of it.

So I think the timing is weird.

I'm really shocked to even hear that Haley reached out to Selena because I'm sure that's the last thing on the planet that she wanted to do.

And this is just such a weird series of events.

Yeah,

it is.

I couldn't believe when I like tapped Selena's story that I saw Haley Bieber's name.

Like it was just like, I never even thought she would say the words Haley Bieber.

Like, you know, I know.

I just feel like the volume and the intensity of messages and threats that she must be receiving is like beyond

anything that's been seen before.

Because always, like, you know, someone gets in trouble or someone's like this, they get death threats.

And it's like, please stop.

I'm getting death threats.

But like, it's not even Haley saying it.

Like, she literally had to reach out to Selena.

Like, that's how bad it must be.

I know.

I feel really bad for Haley.

Me too.

I hope

I hope that this stops it.

I don't have a lot of faith in Selena's fans.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Sorry to say.

Yeah.

But I don't know why them reading this would give them any more gas to give Haley hate.

Like Selena said, stop.

Right.

Well, no, that's their, they're always looking for a way to then continue to blame and make fun of Haley Bieber.

So it's like, well, Selena had to post this and she's like trying to protect Haley and like Justin wouldn't.

Right, right.

That's what they're saying.

Like it's, they're insatiable.

Yeah.

Leave Haley Bieber alone.

I've had enough.

Me too.

But I will say,

her posting some sickening photos of herself and making the caption the emoji of the ear.

Oh, yeah, because they started to say she looks like an ear.

Yeah, and it's like, okay, let's not like just be delusional.

Like, Haley Bieber is arguably the most beautiful woman in the world right now.

Like, she looks like an ear, then the fuck do you look like?

I wish my ears look like that.

I have little Haley's.

It's like, um.

No, I don't wish my ears look like that.

I wish I looked like that.

What's that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know.

Don't say it.

Don't say it.

Aquamarine.

And Little Haley's started.

Sorry.

Whispering compliments in my ears.

That movie was also so good.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Perfect.

I feel like we've had this conversation before about how often I think fondly about Sarah Paxton.

We have, and she was just in something.

Good.

I hope she has a long, illustrious career.

She was in something that's really big that we don't watch.

Oh, good.

Okay.

Yeah, let me just pull it up quickly.

Because obviously her iconic roles are Aquamarine and Sleepover.

Sleepover.

Oh, okay.

She was in blonde.

What's blonde?

Oh,

Marilyn Monroe Biopic.

Okay, I guess that's

the one

that she was in.

Well, good.

I'm glad she's booking roles.

Yep, same.

In terms of this Haley and Selena nonsense, like, I pray this is the last we speak of it.

I just wish everyone peace.

Honestly, I hope Selena, like,

like, learned a lesson here.

like the power of her words like she had to tell her fans to stop because she told them to start you know i hope she's putting that together i don't think she's putting that together i know because the fans aren't no way like we're the only people saying that and we get like hateful she's like completely plausibly deniable in the sense that she never told them to start she just like right you know was just being a victim all over social media which it had the effect of people wanting to defend her but she would never ever think that that was instigating anything.

Well, I hope we can all, you know, take a look at this situation and realize not only were we wrong about the content, there was literally Hilly and Kylie weren't never making fun of Selena Gomez, and we know that now even more with the mascara launch.

But,

you know, there are consequences for, and there are ramifications when you get involved with stuff like this.

And one of the ramifications of Selena, like, you know, leaning into this victim role that her fans see her in was like the destruction of somebody's entire life.

Yeah.

Like there are consequences when you do things.

So this was a really bad look for a lot of people, yeah.

And the thing is, like I said, I really don't expect much from the Selena fans and the Jelena stands, like, they're always going to be just a crazy fandom.

I don't know why, but what was more disappointing and surprising was like kind of the adults in the room.

And I just feel like commentators, you know, pop culture people, like the articles were really like going along with this narrative that Haley was bullying Selena.

And it's like

grow up, grow, like, don't you have, can't you see that that's not what's happening?

Like, you really think that that's what's happening?

I saw so many reels, you know, podcasts, hot take, Selena's, how is she, how is this, how could this be a coincidence?

Right.

That's not a hot take, by the way.

What people need to learn what the word hot take means because hot take is when you say something that nobody else is saying, and everybody says the same shit.

They recycle the same thoughts and be like, hot take.

No, bringing me back to my earlier point.

This is a hot take because I feel like we're the only people who are like, what the fuck is going on?

Like, nobody was bullying Selena.

Selena's playing the victim.

And justice for Haley bieber that's a hot take bitch that's a hot take selena's we really need to learn the fucking definition of a hot take yeah they do that's the perfect example of what we were just talking about 10 minutes ago yeah

so that was more disappointing just like there were so few people who

could see the situation clearly and it's like no but you guys are like grown and you know how these things work there's no excuse yeah there's no excuse anyways let's get into our next story vanderpump Rules Reunion Day was yesterday.

Lots has come out, even though I think they've kept as much under wraps as possible.

But what's so crazy is just like this, these group of people have been like elevated.

Like they get followed around by paparazzi now.

Like there never would have been TMZ standing outside the Vanderpump reunion in the last 10 years.

Of course.

But now we're getting, you know, pictures of them on smoke breaks, getting out of their cars, seeing their outfits.

Like, we usually don't get to see outfits until Bravo releases a photo.

So there's so much content because there's so much interest.

Yeah.

So first, Tom and Raquel were pictured together for the first time since Scandoval.

They are talking, taking, he's taking a smoke break.

He's giving Colesprows with his cigarette.

Oh.

They're taking a smoke break.

No, but by the way, that's just like a fun fact about a lot of the VPR casts.

And I feel like back in the day, we saw it a little bit because they all used to stand outside and do smoke breaks and that's our SAR parking lot.

But like, I feel like a lot of them smoke cigarettes.

Yeah.

I think also they smoke when they drink.

I think they vape too.

They

all was vaping.

It's not that they hide it on the show, but I think they do a good job of just like not showing it so much.

Like if we're going to go have a serious conversation, we're not going to have SIGs because we know it's going to air.

But like we could go over there and have one.

Yeah.

So Tom and Raquel chatted off stage by the trailers.

Looks like they took a break from recording.

They're both head to toe in black, which is probably a coincidence, but a very odd one.

He's having his cigarette and drinking a Diet Coke and she is

talking to him.

It's unclear.

It doesn't look harmonious.

It also doesn't look acrimonious.

It just looks like a conversation.

Good use of the word acrimonious.

Neither harmonious nor acrimonious.

No, we got nothing.

We got nothing from those photos.

They just look like they're like they're genuinely just taking a break.

They don't look particularly disheveled or distraught or in love.

It's giving nothing.

But we also got paparazzi pictures of Ariana showing up to the reunion.

She, I guess, showed up like in full glam.

Her hair and makeup, she looked sickening.

Yeah, they all did.

They do their makeup at home and stuff.

And then she showed up in a boys lie sweatsuit, which like, you know, you think nothing of.

We wear them all the time.

But her thing said 1-800 Boys Lie, which I would have just thought, like, oh, boys lie.

I love that brand.

But boys lie.

Boys lie.

And like when it was read in the media like that, Ariana sending the message that boys lie.

I'm like, honestly, boys lie.

I feel like she maybe didn't even think of it.

Like those sweatsets are just perfect to show up to rewear.

But I, no, I'm sure like someone probably sent it to her or something like in the last few weeks.

And it's like semi-coincidental yeah we do now know like there are three different setups you were saying the two different seating charts but then there's also just a one-on-one with andy and tom and ariana

oh and tom and ariana yeah okay so now i want to talk about the seating charts because they've put forth two reunion seating charts which answer a lot of questions especially about the sheena and raquel of it all i kind of just like figured they'd figure it out but they haven't they are abiding by the restraining order and no of course but i'm glad that doesn't mean anybody's doing zoom no of course but like they will not ever be conversing which is crazy especially when they're going to try and talk about like the schwartz raquel sheena katie drama yeah like they no you know what talking to each other it really sucks for sheena because to be honest any footage that they air that doesn't have raquel is not going to be as good no it sucks for sheena it really does even though sheena maintains her innocence she said she did not punch raquel she said she pushed her yeah so a few things about the legal stuff.

But first, here's the seating chart.

Situation one.

Andy in the middle.

On his left side, we have Ariana, then Katie, then James, then Lala.

Wow, Lala getting shafted.

Yeah.

I'm surprised that Lala is not in front of James.

I know.

I was thinking the same thing.

But I'm sorry.

Say what you want.

James's commentary is fucking unmatched.

Like, he's a star.

Yes, and James is very germane to the Raquel film situation.

And I know Lala has made herself a main character in the story, but

logistically, it's just not,

she's not as close to it.

And then on his right side, it goes Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Sandoval, Raquel, Tom Schwartz.

Damn, that's rough seating for Raquel.

Yeah, but it makes a lot of sense to me.

And then when they switch, his left side stays the same.

Ariana, Katie, James, Lala.

His right side becomes Lisa, Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, Sheena.

Yeah, by the way, this restraining order is like really kind of the worst thing to happen to Sheena.

Like she gets the worst seat.

She doesn't get to be there half the time.

And that just sucks.

Yeah.

So apparently Raquel also served Sheena with some papers at the reunion

via Andy.

Then Sheena's lawyer came out and said these papers have no legal standing.

There's no, they haven't been filed with courts or anything.

Like there's no stamp on them.

But correct me if I'm wrong.

Like say I'm serving you, I don't know, say a cease and desist.

Yeah.

Do I have to file that through a court?

Or it's like, you better cease and fucking desist or or else we're going to court?

That's a good question and one I'm ill-equipped to answer.

But also when you serve someone with papers, Andy can't serve.

The person who serves papers is like a jester of the court.

She was handed papers, not by Raquel, because obviously 100 feet have to be between them, 100 yards.

So Andy gave them to Sheena.

That doesn't seem like a legal servitude.

No, okay, so change the word serve.

Okay, so just like send.

She was given papers.

got it um the I don't I don't understand a lot of the legal elements going on because I know Lala also a lot of the girls got papers from Raquel's lawyers like a week or two ago um I don't know what the what her legal you know strategy is because

like what's the end game there yeah I mean her serving Sheena with a restraining order was very extra but I do feel like

it's a power move for sure yeah like it's really throwing a wrench into everything.

Like that's just one less person who gets to be there for the conversation.

Like it sucks for Sheena.

Like Sheena has been punished.

And if she did punch her, like she's being punished for punching her.

And if she didn't, then when the restraining order, you know, continues on its way, Sheena has witnesses, she says, who will attest that she didn't punch her.

But.

No, it sucks for Sheena.

Like it really sucks.

And it's honestly surprising if she didn't punch Raquel because even though everyone's going to come for Raquel, like Sheena and her were the the closest.

I think what they're trying to say is that Sheena didn't punch Raquel, but like she pushed her.

Yeah.

But Raquel maintains that this scratch on her eye is from Sheena.

Yeah.

And we saw the scar, like it's like a white little scar now.

We saw it on TMZ.

We saw the picture that she allegedly took that night where it was like red and now it's like scarred over so it's white.

I don't know.

I don't know either.

I just, I know what I do know is that I can't can't wait.

Like, I cannot wait.

Cannot wait.

But every episode that leads us to that is still just as

shocking and juicy.

I just hope that all the questions were asked and all the questions were answered.

Yesterday, they were just playing old episodes of Vanderprump Rolls on Bravo, and I was enjoying them immensely.

It was the year Brittany and Jax got married.

And it's just, if you now, just like, we just know so much.

And going back and watching, it's just, it's fascinating.

Yeah.

Fascinating.

So then Andy also posted a video after the reunion saying that nothing was unsaid.

It was very confrontational.

And

Andy's living for being at the center of this.

Like, Bravo has not been so relevant in maybe, maybe ever, honestly, in the cultural zeitgeist.

So like, I would say like table flip.

That was

table ship.

It was

Bravo, but Bravo was still so unknown.

Like, it's just, this is the biggest and best thing to ever happen to the network.

And I think Andy is absolutely loving being at the the center of it.

Yeah.

And I just hope that he was patient and listened and asked all the questions that we need to know.

Yeah.

I can't wait.

I can't wait.

Can't wait.

Are you ready for our next story?

Yeah.

Some drama between Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudakis in their custody case.

So things are getting really nasty between them, but Olivia Wilde has had a win.

Olivia Wilde scored a big victory in her battle with Jason Sudakis over child custody and child support because TMZ has learned a a judge has just rejected his request to have the case moved to New York.

So Jason waged war with Olivia, trying to remove the custody dispute from the California court to New York because New York is typically less generous with child support than California.

But on Thursday, New York magistrate Adele Alexis Harris handed down her decision that the court finds that it is in the interest of substantial justice that the party's child support petition be heard in California.

It is a huge but costly move for Olivia.

The Daily Mail obtained legal docs file by Olivia Thursday and confirmed by TMZ, in which her lawyers say, quote, while Jason can afford to spin his wheels with filing after filing, Olivia cannot.

Jason should not be permitted to litigate Olivia into debt.

I didn't realize that their financial situation

were so different.

Yeah, because she is really successful.

Wait, I find that shocking.

He's much wealthier than her.

Yeah.

Before you read that, I would say, like,

I was about to say, I can't imagine there's, you know, much to argue over child support.

They're really on the same level.

But how are they not?

Like, what's their background?

So, and by the way, doesn't Olivia have, Olivia has family money.

Yes, Olivia comes from wealth, or I don't know what sort of wealth, but we know she comes from connections, but sometimes that doesn't mean like actual

liquid dollars and me, like, who knows that her parents are paying.

Like, I think that's irrelevant.

Olivia is very successful, but I feel like a lot of the things that she does are like independent projects.

You know, she's a director, directs these movies that are very critically acclaimed, but not super commercially successful.

Like he is Ted Lasso.

He does all these like big comedy movies.

Those are the things that make money.

When you think about it,

it makes more sense that way.

It does.

He's much more like mainstream.

And she's like an artist.

Artist.

No, you're totally right.

Wow.

I never thought of it like that.

I think she's low-key poor.

I never thought of it like that.

But they also might be framing it that way.

Of course.

For that, he has to pay more in child support.

No, of course.

And so that, like, the judge knows, like, you know, that could be a strategy from them, too.

Like, he's doing all these filings, and it's, you know, it's an attempt to bankrupt me.

Yeah.

And so, also, Olivia's lawyers wrote in the docs that they were scheduled to start working with a family therapist in California in mid-January.

I thought things were calming down and we're going to be moving forward in a more amicable, respectful fashion.

Instead, I learned on January 10th, 2023, that the entire time I was negotiating the parenting time schedule in California, Jason was plotting to proceed with the New York child support proceeding behind my back.

Damn.

I mean, they're very California.

I think, like, there was no way they were ever going to get, they don't live in New York.

Yeah.

And by the way, those were the papers that she was served on stage.

They stated that he was trying to remove the custody case to New York.

Anyway, so this is a win for her that it hasn't been moved.

But it's just really sad that this is so nasty and ongoing.

So bad.

And that they're like bleeding and all so much money into like these legal proceedings.

Like it's.

And by the way, were they ever married or they were just like a long-term engagement i don't think that they were married

yeah

well i mean we actually just google it so that's custody that would have been a whole other life of divorce like alimony right

they never tied the knot

this is crazy

crazy i feel like they just need to meet up and talk about it.

I know.

I feel like, you know,

perhaps it might have have been amical, but I definitely think the Harry Styles of it all like made it way worse because it just, it, it was so crazy.

So you think he's mad, Jason?

I think there's definitely resentment, and I think it's, you know, manifesting itself.

He's dating someone now.

And he seems like, yeah, he has a nice.

She started dating someone like so much more famous, so much younger, literally a week later.

Yeah.

Like, that's got to hurt.

It's an ego thing.

And these are celebrities.

Yeah.

That's true.

And it's like, it's fucking Harry Styles.

Like, kill me now.

You think that's how Jason Sudekis feels about Harry Styles?

Not about Harry Styles necessarily, but like, you're a celebrity.

There's so much ego involved when you're an actor.

He's the star of a show.

Yada yada.

He's got the girl, yada, yada.

And

yeah, your girl goes out with somebody so much more famous than you, so much younger, so handsome.

How can you not?

I'm sorry, that's just

human nature.

And I feel like when it's women, it totally feels like that.

But for me, like, I think I'd rather date Jason Sudeikis than Harry Styles.

Well, that's nice of you to say, but I don't know if many people would agree with that.

Sound off in the comments.

Who do you think is the bigger catch?

Bigger catch.

Like, no, or not even bigger catch, because that's

like, who would I like to settle down with?

Who would you rather be with?

Who would Turdy rather be with?

I feel like Harry Styles.

Yeah, of course.

But I do also see your side.

Like, if I'm really thinking about who do I I want to settle down, have kids with, and live a long life with, yeah, Jason Sudakis, who's older, more mature, more settled down.

Like, of course, I get it.

Harry's like rock star, you know, cocaine.

Like, I get it.

Yeah.

But if we're just talking about looks.

Right.

But are we ever just talking about looks, Turdy?

No.

And I feel like Jason Sudakis probably is like an amazing personality.

Like, I get it.

Yeah, he's Ted Lasso.

Yeah.

P-Jom energy.

Yeah.

But I, I, I might, that might be a hot take that Jason Sudakis.

That's, by the way.

thank you.

Thank you.

That's a hot take.

Let's just start pointing them out.

So people, we need to educate these people.

There's two different types of hot takes.

One that's just like the unpopular opinion and two, like, one that will get you canceled.

Yeah, of course, of course.

This is just like something I don't think would be the popular opinion, but sound off in the comments.

Yeah, there's really no bad choice when we're choosing between these two.

By the new season of the past.

There's no bad choice.

And Harry Styles, I would be so happy to date you as well.

Right.

I wouldn't kick him out of bed either.

There's the new season of Ted Lasso, which is so annoying because Ben's not home and he hasn't been home like for two weeks and I can't watch it without him and I'm so excited.

It's when does it come out?

It's out.

Since when?

Like two days ago.

Shit, I should have watched it yesterday.

Oh shit.

Yeah.

I guess I think Zach watches it too.

So maybe we'll come together for it.

Right.

I'm the night said Vanderpump isn't on.

Vanderpump.

He's obsessed.

I know.

You guys, Zach comes into the bedroom every night.

Is Vanderpump on tonight?

And then finally on Wednesday, like after we put Harry down, he was so tired.

And I was like, by the way, Vanderpump is on tonight.

He's like, you're lying.

I was like, no, that's how like the channels work.

So cute.

So he's obsessed.

So that's been, that's been nice.

Do you see

Talon, I think from Old Laguna Beach, he like did a TikTok video talking about how the Vander scandal has brought him and his wife together?

Like, hell, no, I didn't see that.

Oh, like, it's just, they talk about it all the time.

Like, there's so many things to say.

There's so many like podcasts to listen to.

There is.

And I feel like we don't talk, Zach and I don't talk about the things that are happening like off screen.

He just like loves the show now.

It's such a good show.

It's such a good show.

Zach sees, you know, he sees quality.

He does.

And we love him for that.

Are you ready for our next story, which is going to be some quality content?

No.

No.

No.

Hi.

Are you okay, Turdy Luya?

No, I will bust if I don't tell everyone that today's episode is brought to you by Fashion Pass.

We have been Fashion Pass girlies for years and if there was ever a time to sign up for Fashion Pass, it is now.

With Fashion Pass, you get unlimited rentals, which is amazing because most of the clothing rental services out there only offer eight or 10 items per month, which is just so limiting.

And something, if it doesn't fit or you don't love it, you're just out of luck.

But with Fashion Pass, you can literally swap out your pieces as many times a month as you want.

We were just talking about the fact that influencers are always having a new outfit.

Remember, we're like, how do they do it?

So many influencers use Fashion Pass.

This is their secret because you save so much money because you're not buying clothes online all the time.

And they carry the best brands.

For me, that's what sets Fashion Pass apart.

Like I'm constantly seeing rental services that just have like Granny Smith.

Moo Moos.

Like it's just not the vibe.

But they carry for Love and Lemons at Fashion Pass, Free People, Show Me Your Moo Moo, our favorite, Amanda Uprichard, so many more.

So the plan that we are on is the trendsetter plan.

So you get four clothing items per order, but you can switch those as much as you want.

It's not like one order per month.

So you basically just get new clothes every week.

They ship really fast.

They take care of dry cleaning.

So, you just send it back in the pre-labeled bag and they give you

your new items.

So, it couldn't be easier.

One of our favorite parts is that if you love anything, you can buy directly from Fashion Pass, which saves you money because you can get anywhere from 30 to 60% off.

Jackie, I know you've been like very, you know, specific about what you've been bringing into your home and you are obsessed with Vagamore.

That's what I read about you on page six.

I am.

I'm in my clean girl era and I had to swap out my shampoo and conditioner because they were not clean, especially in this pregnancy.

Like I really want to use as many clean, non-toxic products as possible.

And luckily, I had just gotten a shipment from Vagamore because we were going to try them out as a sponsor.

And I swapped over to them.

I have not looked back.

It's so amazing.

And also knowing that I'm not putting fragrance in my hair, any parfum, anything, you know, hormone disruptors, anything like that.

Like it's just, you get such peace of mind while also not changing the quality of your hair care.

So Jackie's using the GRO Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner Kit.

It's fabulous.

I love their dry shampoo.

Thank you, Claudia.

I'm glad that you got that off your chest because I could tell it was bothering you.

I feel better.

It was really pent up, like bubbling beneath the surface.

100%.

Our next story is some really great book to TV news

that we need to dissect because it's an ensemble cast and we've got some big names and talks for the Netflix limited series for the book.

Oh, it's not a movie.

Okay, I thought I just assumed it was a movie.

No, this is so limited series.

Like if a hundred per pieces of the women's opens with the wedding weekend and a body in the water.

Yeah.

Who is it?

Who did it?

Right.

So the book is The Perfect Couple by Ellen Hildebrand.

Claudia and I have both read it.

We love Ellen.

This is like a, this book was more murder mystery than Ellen usually goes for.

And it's such a great book.

So if you want like a, a, a semi-thriller, because it's like Ellen peaceful vibes with like, yep, just like a murder hanging over it.

Takes place on beautiful Nantucket.

These young beautiful people are planning their wedding.

It's really gorgeous.

And I feel like they'll make it pretty.

Oh my God, they'll make it so pretty.

So I think it's ripe for a limited series.

And here's who's in talks for it: Nicole Kidman.

I imagine she would be playing the mother of the groom because they're like, he's like from a famous Nantucket wealthy family, the groom.

Liev Schreiber, I'm going to say the father of the groom.

Her husband.

Yep.

Megan Fahey, Dakota Fanning, and Eve Hewson, who are all young actresses.

So the two big roles.

Right.

The bride.

The bride, Celeste, and her friend, Merritt.

Merritt.

Merit, yeah.

The Merritt I always thought was brunette.

So

Eve,

they could all change their hair.

Yeah, and

they could all change their hair, but we have two blondes, and Celeste is definitely blonde.

I feel like...

Megan Fahey is so the bride.

Megan Fahey has to be the bride.

She's so the bride.

Like, that's just so her.

It's so her.

She's so bridal.

Yeah.

And the bride is like kind of this like victim in a sense.

Like everything's going wrong around her.

Yeah.

Yes, she is, but she's also not a little bit if you think about like what she's been up to.

I don't remember.

I'll tell you offline.

So I'm really hoping Megan Fahey is a bride.

There were some other ancillary characters, you know, like the sister-in-law.

Maybe that's Dakota fanning.

But these are also the names that were in talks.

So maybe not everyone is confirmed.

But Megan Fahey did post this article to her Instagram.

Thus confirming, thus confirming that she's in the movie.

No, I think it confirms that everyone's in it, honestly.

And also, a guy named Jack Raynor, who I don't know him.

He looks like Nicholas Holt, and I imagine he's the groom.

The groom.

This is such like a random book for them to choose.

I loved this book, but I don't feel like it's a book that has like a particular cult following.

But you know what?

I think that's better because it's just a good plot for a TV show, you know?

I don't think they need it.

It's not like a book that people are in love with in the sense that if they steer from the original plot a little bit, people will be so offended.

It's just good bones for a TV show.

Because I don't even remember every aspect of the original plot.

I just remember like, you know, the characters.

Sort of.

I don't know.

I remember.

I remember who done it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think I remember too.

But it also will be directed and executive produced by Susan Beer, who did The Undoing.

So,

it should be good.

I don't know.

For me, Netflix doesn't have like an amazing track record with book adaptations like i didn't think luckiest girl alive was that great and maybe i'm just protective of it because it's one of my favorite books of all time and i'm like one of those toxic reader fans but i didn't think it was good and i don't think a lot of people thought it was good so i don't have like the like there are some networks where like i know they're gonna do good work um with with an adaptation and let me ask you something What is a good book to movie or show adaptation of a book that you've read?

Okay, I didn't read it though, but like I think Where the Crawdads was a great adaptation It was and I I can say I read it and it was but of a book that you've read because I feel like when you read the book You always hate you don't like the show because it there it's never gonna be apples to apples Well here by the way, I hated Daisy Jones and the Six and I'm kind of liking the TV show.

It's not amazing, but it's good.

Okay, but of a book that you liked But I hated the book.

I hate a book that you liked.

I don't know.

I feel like I actually haven't, I don't have a lot of experiences with books and movies.

Like I either never read the book or they never made my favorite book into a TV show, you know?

Yeah.

All of the experiences that I've had with books to shows and where I've read the book, I did not like the show.

Okay, I got one.

I got one, but it's so random.

The hating game with Lucy Hale.

No, that's good.

I liked the book and I liked the movie.

It wasn't a particularly, you know, thought-provoking piece of work either way.

It was just like a silly rom-com.

Yeah.

It was good.

They were both good.

No, it can be done.

It's not like a fait accompli that like it's going to be

like a fait accompli, like a

certain ending.

Fait accompli.

Is it French?

It is.

No, no.

I'm not correcting you.

I'm asking.

No, no, no.

It is French, I think.

Let me Google the.

Are you saying like a complete fate?

Yeah, like a certain fate.

I'm obsessed.

A fait accompli.

It is

a thing that has already happened or been decided before those affected hear about it.

But like spell it for me.

Leaving them with no option to accept it.

F-A-I-T

Space

A C C O M P L I

Fait a complé.

It's a fait complé.

So I don't think it's a fait complé that a book is going to be a crappy movie or show.

I can cite a few examples, even though I didn't read, but like worldwide success for Harry Potter.

Of course.

And I don't think Harry Potter readers are like, this show is upset crap.

You're right.

Game of Thrones also.

Twilight.

Twilight.

And for me, Confessions of a Shopaholic.

I forget that that was a book.

One of my favorite book series is ever.

One of my favorite movies ever.

Yeah.

So it can be done.

I'm really hopeful for The Perfect Couple, even though it's not my favorite book.

So I feel like a new book.

It's almost better.

It's like a four-star read.

Yeah, I guess I just actually checked that.

It's better that you don't have so much invested in it.

Like your whole life isn't on the line if it's not cast exactly how you wanted it.

No, and it does feel like the type of show given like Nicole Kidman and The Undoing Lady that people will like just become obsessed with, not because of the book at all, but it's just a really good premise.

It's like, it's kind of like in the undoing, it was like, did she, didn't she?

Did he?

Didn't he?

Who did it?

And this is really just a whodunit.

It's a good premise for a limited series.

Like, there's a crime in the beginning and with the whole thing.

It's like big little lies.

Big little lies.

Except I thought Nine Perfect Strangers, which was a book I intentionally didn't read so that I could enjoy the show.

I thought the show was horrible.

I never even finished it.

I watched the first episode.

I'm like, this is crap.

It was absolute crap.

Crap.

Yeah.

Anyways, this is exciting news.

Yeah, I like it.

Yeah.

I hope it all chugs along nicely.

Looking forward.

And I think this is also a really good, I think a lot of people have been wondering, what's Megan Fahey going to do next?

Like, she had this breakout role.

She's been kind of quiet, just like being a fabulous it girl, Ralph Lauren, Emmys, Oscars, whatever.

And we were curious, what is Megan Fahey going to do next?

And this is it.

And I think this is great.

No, and unfortunately, like in Hollywood, like if you're not doing something on to the next, unless you reach, like once you've already reached a certain level, like you could take some time off, but like

we need to know what's next for her.

Your career is a series of moves, and we needed to know her next move.

And this is a strong next move.

Agreed.

Leo Schreiber, Netflix, Undoing, Nicole Kidman, Dakota.

It's very, it's premium.

It's A-list.

It's perfect.

Premium.

Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Just some heartwarming news.

Okay.

Mason Ramsey took a fan to prom and posted about it on TikTok and Reels.

And it was really quite beautiful.

So one of his fans commented, like, Mason, will you go to prom with me?

And he was like, sure.

And so he went to her house, picked her up.

I forgot.

And she, her name is Ella.

Literally gorgeous.

She's like, she's such a pretty 16-year-old.

Age appropriate.

Like, literally,

she should be his girlfriend.

So they took pictures.

Her dad came out with a gun, you know, like, you better take care of my girl.

He had a nice escalade for her.

They went to prom.

I'm dead.

I'm dead.

They went to pre-prom, took pictures with like all of her friends.

Mason was very generous with his time, taking pictures with everyone.

They went to the prom.

They danced.

Then someone else asked Ella to dance.

So like Mason boogied the night away with everyone else at the school because, you know, why not?

But then he took Ella home back to her father because he promised that he would.

She had a curfew.

But like the way I'm praying that these two are still talking.

She's beautiful.

Yeah.

He's really coming into his own.

They kind of look like siblings, but like in a good way.

Yeah, in the way that like you and Ben look like siblings.

Right.

100%.

100%.

I'm obsessed.

I love this.

I feel like, I don't know if it's been intentional, like as a strategy, but the way that Mason Ramsey has grown up very normally, continued to release music and stay relevant and like post content to social media, but not to the point where it's like sad or has been or too much.

He is being,

I don't know if he's being managed, but if he is, it's to perfection.

I feel like we talk about him once every six months.

Like,

because he does something viral, intentionally viral, but it like hits and goes viral in a good way.

It's all very sweet and good-natured contract.

Genuine.

I think he does have management, and he's, I think he signed with good people when he rose to yodeling fame.

I remember like Florida, Georgia line was working with him.

I think, I think everybody really looked out for him and

he somehow landed with just like good people who are allowing him to live his life, grow up, and there is a big career waiting for him whenever he decides that he wants it.

But like he's still only 16.

Like there's more school to be done.

He works at Subway.

He still

owns the Subway, but he works there too.

He still

probably lives with his grandparents.

Like I think this is all so good.

And I look forward to whatever music he puts out one day because I think he's actually truly talented.

Oh my God.

I think in order to have a long, successful, illustrious career, these years are really important that he has like normalcy and is able to mature.

I agree.

And I think, like, when you boil it down to like you strip away, you know, the yodeling and the whatever.

And he's extremely talented.

And so much of the music that he puts out, I mean, that song, like, I actually cry when I hear it.

On my way up the mountain, I want to look around and

ting every sunset before it fades.

As fast as I am going, I want to stop and smell the roses.

And nigga, never

I have made

on my way.

It's a beautiful song.

It's a beautiful song.

You guys should listen to it.

Whenever we talk about him, we talk about this one song because he put out an EP of all good songs and also one of them went viral on TikTok.

Before I knew it, I was holding all the doors, holding her hand, getting off of work just as fast as I can, calling you up, calling what you doing.

Who, before I knew it.

Right.

So, and that's not even the best song on the album.

The best song on the album is on my way.

And it's just a signal of what's to come for him.

So I hope he graduates high school.

He had said on Ellen he wanted to go to college.

Remember, she laughed at his big dream of going to college.

Fuck Ellen.

That was really, by the way, when I was fucking done with Ellen, she was so nasty.

Go back and watch that interview and just look at how condescending and like low-key rude Ellen was to the Odel kid.

Like, why?

Yeah, no, because she was like, what do you, like, because she grants wishes, whatever, and his wish was to go to college.

So fucking, what a pure answer and shouldn't we be encouraging the youth to stay in school she like mocked him that really bothered me yeah it bothered me too i obviously haven't forgotten about it i hope he goes to college and then gets in the studio with fgl anyway

He got close with Brian Kelly, not the points guy, of former Florida, Georgia line fame, because he's like a big songwriter.

In addition to being one half of FGL, he like writes a lot of songs for us.

Everyone who's successful in country music is also a big songwriter.

Right.

And he wrote some songs for mason remedy i think they were a really good duo and i think you know brian kelly's like a good guy he probably looked out for mason i hope they work together again yeah i hope so too but as i stated it's all waiting for him and this is a great segue to talk about some other country music that dropped today

getting old the album by luke combs is here how much have you listened to i listened to it i think maybe almost all the way through while I was getting ready, but it was, it was very much in the background.

I wasn't focused.

Yeah, I listened, I got up to my song Will Never Never Die.

Oh, my God.

By the way, I think I literally got up to the same.

But it's a huge album.

I think we're only halfway through.

Oh, real?

Oh, yeah.

I forgot it's 18 songs.

Let me see.

And there were like definitely a few that immediately caught my eye.

Hannah Ford Road

just popped off.

My songs Will Never Die I loved.

Still.

Oh, I didn't even get to listen to the fast car.

Shit.

I have been waiting.

Because it wasn't in order, Turdy Lou.

I know.

The way that we intended.

For Luke Holmes to release a cover of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, because that was like one of the first videos he ever did that went viral.

And it's like a song.

There's a few covers he does that are like really famous in Luke's stand-up.

That's one of them.

Jack and Diane by Teddy Mellencamp's dad is

it's funny how like my initial I automatically said Teddy Mellencamp, not John Mellencamp.

Yeah.

Is one of his best covers.

I need him to release.

John Mellencamp has become like a Nepo father.

He's only famous because of his daughter, Teddy.

Well, these days, like, kind of.

No, like, she was just, I literally just saw an article about her this morning that she took her kids to a John Mellencamp concert.

Yeah, no, her and her dad are close.

It's really nice.

And he is, like, America's sweetheart.

John Cougar Mellencamp.

Yeah.

No, he's like, he's like a Bruce.

He's like a Bruce.

Yeah.

People are upset.

I feel like

Bruce is like East Coast.

And John Mellencamp is like West Coast.

Do you get that vibe?

No.

Okay.

I don't.

Cool.

But sound off in the comments if you do.

Like, I could be wrong.

I don't know that much about either of them.

Life goes on

long after the thrill of living is gone.

I need Luke Homes' cover.

He like did it in a bar once and it went like so viral.

You guys need to watch it.

And I need him like next album.

Can't do like two covers on one album.

I agree.

So we got a fast car.

I need Jack and Diane.

Okay.

Tell them.

I'm just putting it out in the universe.

So I can't really give any full statements on my thoughts.

It's incredible, but like I need to really master it.

I'm good with it.

Yeah, I got to do a lot of driving this weekend so I can listen to it.

Same.

That's what I'm going to do today.

I think there's some other music out, but like I can't focus on anything besides new music who?

Luke Comb.

New music Comb Day.

It's getting old day.

So that is our show, our final one of the week.

I hope you guys have an amazing weekend.

Recover, rejuvenate, restore, heal.

Because Monday's right around the corner.
