0:01 Rayna Greenberg? This week on The Snack, Justin Baldoni's lawsuit, Jennifer Anderson hard launches, and People Magazine names its sexiest man alive. This is a Jimmy Media production. Enjoy.
0:17 Rayna Greenberg? Hi, guys. Oh, my God, I don't know if Ashley can say hi, guys. Okay, you can say hi, guys.
0:22 Speaker 01 Hi, boys.
0:23 Rayna Greenberg? You guys, this is a monumental day. For the first time in eight years, I have a co-host who is not Ashley.
0:32 Speaker 01 I mean, the pressure is insane, and I am not the person that does well.
0:38 Rayna Greenberg? I've never said hi, guys, into an echo chamber before. No one says it back. Like, that was like doing a solo podcast.
0:44 Speaker 01 Look, I'm just here to support you. I'm not trying to take Ashley's role, although if I do well, it'd be great to maybe do a back and forth.
0:52 Rayna Greenberg? To get that money.
0:53 Speaker 01 Yeah, to get that money. I'm looking at yachts already.
0:55 Rayna Greenberg? So I'm going to introduce you. So Ashley is on her honeymoon, and we will do a wedding recap of everything that happened next week. But in the meantime, we're going to let her enjoy her honeymoon. And my co-host today is a very good friend of ours. He is a very funny comedian. He is probably the most repeat guest we've had on this show. Please welcome to the show Andrew Collin.
1:16 Speaker 01 Hey, guys.
1:17 Rayna Greenberg? Hey.
1:18 Speaker 01 Hey. No, it's great to be here. It is so funny that people are checking to see if it's the wedding episode, and it's just me talking about Justin Baldoni or whatever.
1:29 Rayna Greenberg? No, I'm really proud of you because these episodes are a lot to prep for. And I go through like hours and hours of all the pop culture news, and I have to read every article and every website. And I sent it to you this morning. I was like, please catch up on like Britney Spears and Justin Baldoni and this TikTok trend. And you really did it.
1:47 Speaker 01 Well, you sent it to me at 11:15 last night. And I mean, that's very professional. And I did see it, but I was half asleep. I'll be honest. I read it this morning. I read it this morning while my wife was yelling at me that I was ignoring her, while she was having a bit of a panic attack.
2:01 Rayna Greenberg? You guys don't fight.
2:03 Speaker 01 No, we do.
2:03 Rayna Greenberg? Really? I can't imagine Brenna ever getting mad about anything.
2:07 Speaker 01 One time, I said, I'm going to call the cops. And she said, call the cops. So, but that was really just.
2:16 Rayna Greenberg? You know why? Cause she has like, she has like little girl sweet face. So like cops would show up and she would be like, "I didn't do anything, officer," and they, they would arrest you.
2:24 Speaker 01 Oh, I'd be done. It's never, yeah, it would have been horrendous, but that was the only time it got to cops. Like, we're not usually a cop couple.
2:33 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, I'm, I would hope not. I would really hope not, especially cause you guys stayed at my house this weekend. Just the cops are there. I see on the security cams cops were walking in my house.
2:42 Speaker 01 It wasn't, it is nice to get in a fight in a big enough house to where you don't have to worry about the neighbors calling the cops on you. That is nice.
2:49 Rayna Greenberg? I thought you were gonna say, "We could go to separate rooms and just cool down."
2:53 Speaker 01 No.
2:54 Rayna Greenberg? Andrew.
2:55 Speaker 01 Yeah.
2:56 Rayna Greenberg? I lived in New York. I've lived in New York with two different men and there's nowhere to go to cry except for your bathroom.
3:02 Speaker 01 That's true.
3:03 Rayna Greenberg? There's like one room in the whole apartment.
3:05 Speaker 01 I know, it is tough. Where are you gonna go? Underneath the couch?
3:08 Rayna Greenberg? Where do you cry?
3:08 Speaker 01 In your Murphy bed? In the wall?
3:10 Rayna Greenberg? You go in the wall?
3:10 Speaker 01 Yeah, I go inside the wall.
3:11 Rayna Greenberg? You get inside the kitchen cabinet? Don't mind me. Go under the.
3:16 Speaker 01 She opens it up. I'm like, "Here's a plate."
3:19 Rayna Greenberg? Does, okay, you know, I don't want to ask you, cause you and I were texting about the episode and you literally text, I sent you long, I'm, I'm gonna give you guys what I said to Andrew and how he responds. I sent long thoughtful messages and he wrote,
3:31 Speaker 01 Call the cops.
3:32 Rayna Greenberg? He wrote, "Smart," I obsessing up, "For sure." I sent a very long message. He wrote, "Sounds good, period." I sent another series of long messages. I'm being very nice, by the way, to share. He writes, "Sounds good, period," again. I said, "More information," he says, "Will do." I said, "More information," "Got it." You text, like, I text when I am so mad at my man.
3:53 Speaker 01 Yeah, I, I, I pretty much just wrote K five times.
3:56 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
3:57 Speaker 01 But you know what? I wish I was that person in real life.
4:00 Rayna Greenberg? You so are it. That's why it catches me off guard.
4:02 Speaker 01 Cool. Can you imagine? Just go, go, go, just be like, this is me if I was cool.
4:07 Rayna Greenberg? You are the personification of K, period, in, in text messages and the exact opposite in real life.
4:15 Speaker 01 No doubt.
4:15 Rayna Greenberg? Like, you are, you're like, and I mean, this is such a compliment. You're one of the girls. You can like gossip and like, you were at my house all day on Sunday with just a room full of girls.
4:26 Speaker 01 I know, but I mean, it's a business text. I don't, I've had problems where I've over explained myself in the past and I think it's, it makes me look weak.
4:39 Rayna Greenberg? Is that because you raised a family of brothers and everyone made fun of you for everything?
4:44 Speaker 01 My puffy nipples, I would go in the pool with my shirt on for years.
4:47 Rayna Greenberg? Did you like blow on like a hot drink before you drank it and they just made fun of you for an hour?
4:51 Speaker 01 I got, I got pretty, I mean, my brother's smarter than me. My older brother is brilliant. Like his bar mitzvah money, he invested it in like Apple and I bought a used jet ski. So that's, that's where we're at.
5:05 Rayna Greenberg? You wrote one of your best jokes about that jet ski and that's what's important.
5:09 Speaker 01 That is all that matters. The funniest part was a different jet ski, but it's fine. Anyhow.

5:44 Speaker 01 That was great.
5:44 Rayna Greenberg? It's crazy to do this without Ashley.
5:46 Speaker 01 Why, does she usually read the ads?
5:48 Rayna Greenberg? We trade off back and forth.
5:50 Speaker 01 Nice.
5:50 Rayna Greenberg? Yes. So anyways, we start off every week with a report.
5:54 Speaker 01 Okay, give it to me.
5:55 Rayna Greenberg? I have named this report the Hot Man Report.
5:57 Speaker 01 Got it. Because of me?
5:59 Rayna Greenberg? Because you're here.
6:00 Speaker 01 And I'm hot.
6:01 Rayna Greenberg? You are hot.
6:01 Speaker 01 I'm okay.
6:02 Rayna Greenberg? You're, you have glowed up.
6:04 Speaker 01 My skin's falling apart, I think.
6:06 Rayna Greenberg? You're much like, you've glowed up every year like me. But that's common for men.
6:11 Speaker 01 Well, I just started using skincare.
6:13 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, you met a woman, she's an esthetician. Brenna's an esthetician.
6:17 Speaker 01 My wife is an esthetician and she's, if I don't go, if I go out in the, you know, without suntan lotion, she wants to murder me. And it's scary. But now I have three steps. I have three steps. Anyhow.
6:28 Rayna Greenberg? Three-step skincare routine?
6:30 Speaker 01 Yeah.
6:30 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, so our first article is the mugshot of the Louvre Heist guys was released. And this might be the most people have sent me a TikTok or anything like this. They are unconscionably sexy.
6:45 Speaker 01 Okay, I mean, the blue eyes, it reminds me of the one guy that ended up being a model. When he got out, he married some billionaire heiress. Do you remember that guy?
6:53 Rayna Greenberg? No.
6:54 Speaker 01 Oh, he was the hottest, probably the hottest mugshot ever. They're good looking, it's amazing what guys can get away with, like Luigi was hot.
7:03 Rayna Greenberg? These guys are unconscionably good looking, and I didn't expect it. Like, I saw people like climbing the Louvre and then escaping. You don't expect them to be these like really young se- that guy looks like Dale Moss, but hotter.
7:15 Speaker 01 Well, he looks like the kind of guy that can make money without robbing the Louvre.
7:18 Rayna Greenberg? Hundred, I mean, he-
7:19 Speaker 01 He could do any, he could sell his penis.
7:20 Rayna Greenberg? A hot person job.
7:22 Speaker 01 Yeah.
7:22 Rayna Greenberg? Like a host at a restaurant. That's a hot person job.
7:26 Speaker 01 Okay, now I see why he robbed the Louvre.
7:28 Rayna Greenberg? A cocktail waitress. Yes, he could be an OnlyFans model, I mean, he has so many options besides robbing the Louvre, both of them do.
7:36 Speaker 01 I mean, it is incredible how quickly people do not care about a crime if you're good looking. It really isn't, like, I just, uh-
7:45 Rayna Greenberg? That's why I had to have a real job.
7:46 Speaker 01 I had to pay fifty-three hundred dollars for my cat to go to, um, the emergency room. And Brennan told me we had pet insurance, and I said, "They're not gonna, they don't pay human insurance, and I'm gonna have to shoot the pet insurance CEO like Luigi." But no one would get behind that because I'm too old and my skin is too loose. And I thought about how hot you have to be to murder a pet insurance CEO. And I think Glenn Powell would be the only man imaginable that could get away with it. You know what I mean? Like, you'd have to be so hot.
8:19 Rayna Greenberg? Um, without even doing it on purpose, you've perfectly segued into our next article, which is that People Magazine named this year's sexiest man alive. Glenn Powell, always in the running.
8:29 Speaker 01 Yeah.
8:29 Rayna Greenberg? People are obsessed with him, he was in the running this year as well. Um, did you know that you don't have to accept it?
8:35 Speaker 01 What?
8:36 Rayna Greenberg? So-
8:37 Speaker 01 What happens?
8:37 Rayna Greenberg? So, people, some people just, they take themselves a little too seriously to be People's hottest man alive. Like, Pedro Pascal has famously rejected this, year after year after year. He doesn't want to be known for how sexy he is.
8:48 Speaker 01 And they just keep going back, they just love, Magada plays like hard to get.
8:52 Rayna Greenberg? They're like, "Are you less successful this year? Maybe you'll take it this year."
8:55 Speaker 01 Honestly, in a year from now, I think I'll take it.
8:57 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
9:00 Speaker 01 Can I tell you something really quick? And not to go back to the old story, but to go back, because I've done my
9:04 Rayna Greenberg? Let's rewind.
9:05 Speaker 01 my research. It's not them. It's not real. Those aren't the guys. I'm sorry.
9:11 Rayna Greenberg? Who are the guys?
9:13 Speaker 01 They don't have photos up. And I apologize for ruining this sex dream you're gonna have, where you don't need any computer, just your mental mind. It's not them.
9:22 Rayna Greenberg? You don't think they're the sexiest men alive?
9:24 Speaker 01 No, no, no. Those aren't the robbers. It's made up.
9:27 Rayna Greenberg? The robbers are the sexiest men alive? What's made up?
9:30 Speaker 01 The Louvre robbers that you just showed me are not the guys that actually robbed the Louvre. That is made up. That's how much research I did. They're not real. They are real, but they're not the real robbers. I'm nervous. I'm falling apart. Do you see what I'm saying? Yes. All it took was one Google search. No, no, no, no, you gotta keep it. You gotta keep that. That's not them. I swear. What?
10:09 Rayna Greenberg? Let me Google it right now.
10:10 Speaker 01 I'm telling you, look it up. I see, like, I guess one of us dove in. I deep dive. Did you type in, "It's fake"? Yeah, one of the guys was Chase Crawford. That was a different, that was a different one, but... It's not real. It's fake. Fact checked. I know, I ruined a fantasy for thousands of women out there.
10:33 Rayna Greenberg? No, it's important you ruined it.
10:34 Speaker 01 A few men. And me. Trust me, I want it to be real.
10:40 Rayna Greenberg? I really wanted that to be real.
10:41 Speaker 01 Oh, my God.
10:42 Rayna Greenberg? All right, well, people's sexiest man alive is real.
10:45 Speaker 01 Yes, that's real.
10:45 Rayna Greenberg? All right, let's talk about it. This year's star is Jonathan Bailey. Are you familiar with him?
10:51 Speaker 01 From the article, to be honest. And I saw Wicked, and I put it together.
10:55 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
10:55 Speaker 01 And I know he's from Bridgerton, you know? He's a hot man. I did, you know what it was? I watched a video of him on Fallon. And this is, uh, how insecure I am with myself. When he hugged Fallon and he turned a little bit, he had a little bit of a bald spot. Like a very tiny, and it made me very happy.
11:13 Rayna Greenberg? That like stars are just like us?
11:14 Speaker 01 Yeah.
11:15 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
11:15 Speaker 01 Yeah, it made me very, like, made me happy with myself.
11:19 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, I think it's a good point. It's like a little more of a serious topic, but like, all these people that you see with like, perfect bodies, perfect hair, perfect skin. I mean, a lot of money and surgery goes into that. And filters and botox and all these things. And then they're media trained, so they seem cooler than the average person too. Like, none of this is, everyone started off as just like a random dude.
11:40 Speaker 01 Yeah, he talks, I watched him speak. He's, everything's like, every three words is a smile. Have you ever noticed how much he like, and it's not laughing, it's just, their teeth just show up. Like, mine are, I have two little, I have little, they're disgusting, I have little chicle teeth, but they're just, you know?
12:00 Rayna Greenberg? Uh huh.
12:00 Speaker 01 It's just, I don't know, there's something about him, he's extremely charismatic.
12:03 Rayna Greenberg? I think that that's media training though, right? Like, people, because people are so ripped to shreds today, for everything that they say, you can get a tiny soundbite and it'll ruin your career. I think like, less is more. That's why, I don't, have you ever seen Jennifer Lawrence give interviews?
12:19 Speaker 01 I saw recently, the one where she doesn't want to talk about politics anymore.
12:24 Rayna Greenberg? Well, she is so famous in interviews because she's like silly and goofy. She tripped on the steps on the way up to accept like an Oscar or something. People are obsessed with her because she seems like so real and you almost never see a celebrity like that. Like, I laugh too hard to be a real celebrity.
12:40 Speaker 01 No, it sticks out.
12:41 Rayna Greenberg? Up all ugly.
12:42 Speaker 01 No, but I think that what sets you apart, I think when everyone is media trained, if you're a little bit off. It goes a long way, but you can't be way off. Like, there is a line, you know what I mean?
12:52 Rayna Greenberg? Mm-hmm.
12:52 Speaker 01 So, and I think she did a very good job of showing that she's a human. And then she got more and more surgery and more and more robotic now and her's, because now maybe she wants to be taken seriously.
13:03 Rayna Greenberg? Mm-hmm.
13:03 Speaker 01 As an actress. But that ruins your whole, why people loved you.
13:07 Rayna Greenberg? But, like, you get so much hate for being authentic. And I read this long profile in Vanity Fair about Anne Hathaway. And she is famously not, not liked that much. Like, people just find her, like, not relatable, like, stiff and uptight. And she says, like, I, I know that I come across like that, but I've been famous since I was like 14, 15 years old, like Princess Diaries. And she's been ripped to shreds by the media so much. And she's like, this is the personification of what happens when, like, everybody has an opinion about you for 25 years. You just kind of, like, cease to exist as a real person.
13:38 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
13:39 Rayna Greenberg? I real, I get it. Couldn't be me, I'm too ridiculous.
13:42 Speaker 01 No, I think you're naturally yourself. I mean, this past week, we only get into that.
13:46 Rayna Greenberg? No, you could tell me.
13:46 Speaker 01 No, the, at the wedding, you, you married Ashley and the guy, uh, pretty eye, hazel eye, what do you call it?
13:52 Rayna Greenberg? Sparkle eyes.
13:53 Speaker 01 Sparkle eyes.
13:55 Speaker 01 What do I call them?
13:56 Rayna Greenberg? Hazel.
13:56 Speaker 01 Hazel eyes. I got there.
13:58 Rayna Greenberg? Hazel eyes.
13:59 Speaker 01 I actually didn't get there.
14:04 Speaker 01 And you were 1,000% not media trained.
14:08 Speaker 01 Like, it was...
14:11 Speaker 01 Like, if you were more famous, that would take you down. And it was amazing.
14:15 Rayna Greenberg? I don't actually think it would take me down. I think that that was, honestly, I lay in bed at night and think about the ceremony speech that I gave and how funny it was.
14:21 Speaker 01 It was great.
14:22 Rayna Greenberg? And I'm gonna recap it with Ashley on our episode, but they did their vows together. And the three of us were on this little platform. And I said, you know, I'm gonna hand you the mic and let you do your vows. And they go back and forth. And this goes on for, it was beautiful, went on for a long time. I mean, "long time" I say in quotes, like, six minutes, like, three minutes each, four minutes each. But I just stood there and I didn't know what to say. I mean, I don't know who to look at or what to do. And they finished and I just said, like, I've never felt like such a cock in my life.
14:49 Speaker 01 Yes.
14:49 Rayna Greenberg? And I don't think anyone's ever said cock in a wedding ceremony speech.
14:54 Speaker 01 I don't think so either. I think there was a, there's probably four or five things that have never been said.
14:59 Rayna Greenberg? What's another one?
15:00 Speaker 01 I, I don't, one of them was very, like, a dark joke about...
15:03 Rayna Greenberg? Oh, yeah.
15:04 Speaker 01 An ex.
15:05 Rayna Greenberg? Yes. I did say some crazy shit.
15:07 Speaker 01 And then, my favorite probably was you bringing up your own family.
15:15 Speaker 01 And she goes, she goes, ah, your families really love each other. Your families are great, unlike my family.
15:23 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, it was my favorite ceremony speech I've ever heard. I was really happy about it.
15:30 Speaker 01 I mean, there were some moments that, it was incredible. And I think there is a line though where you say, yeah, you do get crushed by the media if you step out of that. But I also think it can really help your career by stepping out a little bit.
15:43 Rayna Greenberg? A little bit.
15:44 Speaker 01 A little bit.
15:45 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, I think sometimes that's why it's hard for comedians to reach like this mega fame level because like, you, I, like, were trained to say crazy stuff.
15:55 Speaker 01 Well, tell the truth.
15:56 Rayna Greenberg? Tell the truth, yes.
15:58 Speaker 01 Yeah, there's nothing like, that can get in the way of your fame than being honest.
16:05 Rayna Greenberg? It's true, and I watched, um, you, you did a podcast with Nikki Glaser for many, many, many years, and you've been on the road with her for many years, and you're very like bonded to her. And I bring her up because she did your New Year's Eve show at the improv in LA, and I watched her run her speech for, I always get it, the Oscars, the Emmys?
16:20 Speaker 01 It was the Hazel Eyes. Golden Globes.
16:25 Rayna Greenberg? I, every time I'm about to talk about her doing this speech, I'm like, I'm not gonna land the plane. So, the Golden Globes, and it was really like, it was touchy who she was gonna pick on and what she was gonna say about them. There's a lot of like landmines of like, you can go so far, but you can't cross the line. And she just did like, a phenomenal job.
16:43 Speaker 01 Well, it's interesting you say that because I wrote jokes on the roast of Tom Brady, and I wrote jokes for the Golden Globes, and it is way easier to write just the meanest jokes possible of the Brady roast because you can be as honest and as
16:59 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
17:00 Speaker 01 and as cruel and, but fun, but like, really dive in. And then the Golden Globe, you have to be more media trained a little bit. You can only write surface jokes. There was nothing too mean. Really, if you look at it, it's extremely different, and, and it's smarter. And that's why she's doing so well, because she's smart enough to go, okay, I can't do the roast of Tom Brady at the Golden Globes.
17:25 Rayna Greenberg? But this is a really fascinating behind the scenes.
17:27 Speaker 01 Oh, I guess so, yeah. I forget that. I'm behind there. But yeah, like, look at the jokes, compare them, and you'll see that it's a completely different set in regards to that. And she did not go in at the Golden Globes.
17:42 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
17:42 Speaker 01 Ricky Gervais went in. Ricky Gervais would treat it. But she also, at the time, you know, didn't feel like she was famous enough.
17:49 Rayna Greenberg? Mm-hmm.
17:49 Speaker 01 There is a level of fame where you're on the inside, where you're not gonna get crushed. Also, the year before, the guy bombed so hard on the Golden Globes. There was pressure for a comedian to come in, and he was just mean and not funny.
18:03 Rayna Greenberg? You're right, though. There's a line.
18:06 Speaker 01 Yeah.
18:06 Rayna Greenberg? It's a big, thick line for something like the Golden Globes, where like, you can't cross it. And even when I watched her run the set at the improv, which was phenomenal, some of the meanest jokes that she told, she cut them.
18:17 Speaker 01 Yep.
18:18 Rayna Greenberg? And I was like, damn, I really liked those jokes. But then, like, you realize, like, why she did it. And I think every headline would have been how terribly she picked on people.
18:28 Speaker 01 Yeah.
18:28 Rayna Greenberg? If she ran those jokes.
18:29 Speaker 01 People are expecting a roast comedian to go hard. But because she was able to do so well without doing that, it also shows versatility.
18:40 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
18:40 Speaker 01 Like, whatever, like.
18:41 Rayna Greenberg? Huge range.
18:41 Speaker 01 Yeah, huge range. So then she got asked to do it again.
18:44 Rayna Greenberg? Ugh.
18:44 Speaker 01 I think if she went hard in the paint, like, really hard, like she would for a roast, who knows, you know, and that would be more selfish, too. Like, there's also a thing where you gotta realize the Globes are bigger than you are as a presenter.
18:58 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
18:59 Speaker 01 So, anyhow.
19:00 Rayna Greenberg? I love that BTS. That was so interesting.
19:02 Speaker 01 Thank you. Thank you.
19:04 Rayna Greenberg? I just, I love her.
19:04 Speaker 01 Yeah, no, yeah, she's great. She's hosting SNL this week.
19:07 Rayna Greenberg? I know she is. I can't wait to watch it.
19:10 Speaker 01 I know, wow.
19:11 Rayna Greenberg? That's amazing. All right, well, I can't wait to watch it. I'm gonna truncate some of these headlines, because you're just so fun to talk to. All right, Jennifer Aniston, she finally went Instagram official with Jim Curtis, who's her current boyfriend. She captioned it, "My love. Happy birthday, my love. Cherished." He is so. Sexy, zaddy, he is so hot.
19:30 Speaker 01 I had no idea who he was.
19:31 Rayna Greenberg? Sexiest man alive.
19:32 Speaker 01 I thought he was an actor.
19:33 Rayna Greenberg? Uh huh.
19:33 Speaker 01 And then I did my research.
19:35 Rayna Greenberg? Oh my god, Andrew, tell me what, tell me what he does.
19:37 Speaker 01 Okay, he's a, uh, love guru. He essentially like helps relationships and tells people how to have confidence and essentially every one of his videos is like, if you love yourself, you can get someone to have sex with you. And, uh, he was able to do it. He loves himself enough. And Jennifer Aniston was, needed self-help enough where, uh, this is what I love about Jennifer Aniston. She got his book.
20:01 Rayna Greenberg? Uh huh.
20:02 Speaker 01 She read the book and was like, oh, I'm gonna, what I'm gonna take from this is I'm gonna have sex with the guy who wrote it. And that just shows.
20:10 Rayna Greenberg? That's very me coded, isn't it?
20:12 Speaker 01 It's like, it's a perfect level of fame. It's like, I'm not gonna use his teachings, I'm just gonna fuck the source. Which is awesome.
20:20 Rayna Greenberg? This is the most me thing. When we first started the podcast, like, I would just watch comedians on Netflix and be like, that guy is so hot. And then I'd invite him on the show. Like, I still remember watching Ari Shaffir's comedy special in like, uh, 2017, 2018.
20:36 Speaker 01 Yeah.
20:37 Rayna Greenberg? I was like, that guy is so hot.
20:39 Speaker 01 Really?
20:40 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
20:41 Speaker 01 Wow, okay. Similar to Jim Curtis, Ari Shaffir.
20:46 Rayna Greenberg? I thought he was so sexy back then.
20:47 Speaker 01 Yeah.
20:48 Rayna Greenberg? Um, and he has this whole special about not wanting kids and I thought it was so funny and so like, unique back then. I mean, everybody talks about not wanting kids today, but I'd never really heard somebody talk about it like that. And I was like, gotta get him on the podcast.
20:59 Speaker 01 Yes.
20:59 Rayna Greenberg? Chris DiStefano.
21:00 Speaker 01 It makes sense.
21:02 Rayna Greenberg? We had you on because we wanted to have a pet episode.
21:04 Speaker 01 Yeah, it had nothing to do with how hot I was.
21:06 Rayna Greenberg? But he is, he's a hypnotist. He's a hypnotherapist.
21:10 Speaker 01 That's another thing. I mean, is, is, at what point does that stop? You know what I mean? Like?
21:16 Rayna Greenberg? The hypnotizing.
21:17 Speaker 01 Yeah, maybe she's just hypnotized. Maybe he's got Aniston in a spell. You ever think about that?
21:23 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
21:23 Speaker 01 That's what I'm saying. And, and where does hypnotist and where does like a, a Casanova, you know what I mean? Like a guy that's very smooth? Like where does that, is that, that's just a form of being a hypnotist a little bit?
21:34 Rayna Greenberg? I don't know. I got love bombed pretty hard by a total sociopath recently.
21:37 Speaker 01 And how'd that go?
21:38 Rayna Greenberg? I've been pretty fucked up for, I've been pretty fucked up for a few weeks about it.
21:42 Speaker 01 Did he write a book?
21:43 Rayna Greenberg? No, but I wrote a great comedy set about it. Like, the good thing about what you and I do is like, we can just write about it and like, make fun of it on stage.
21:52 Speaker 01 Fucking love bombing. I've never love bombed someone. What, what, can you give an example of the bomb?
21:57 Rayna Greenberg? I forget who said this to me the other day. She said the only difference between like, love bombing and a guy who actually means it is just that he likes you.
22:05 Speaker 01 Oh, yes. And he's not just in it for himself. I feel like a love bomb, he's essentially loving you for him, not for you.
22:12 Rayna Greenberg? Well, it's just, is this to manipulate somebody or not? That's the only difference. It's like, when somebody starts telling me how amazing I am, I'm just like, yeah.
22:20 Speaker 01 Yeah, I know, but what sucks is you get love bombed and then you get ghosted after having sex. And then you think the next guy is just love bombing you, but he might be sincere. And then, it's all ruined.
22:31 Rayna Greenberg? I know, it ruins it for people that really mean it. I try to like, not let the sins of the people in the past affect anybody in the future. And again, when people tell me that I'm amazing, I'm just like, you right?
22:42 Speaker 01 Damn.
22:43 Rayna Greenberg? And he knows me pretty well. So like, the love bombing was like, I was like, well, obviously he believes this stuff.
22:48 Speaker 01 Yeah.
22:48 Rayna Greenberg? We've been friends for a long time.
22:50 Speaker 01 Man, and yeah, you don't expect it.
22:51 Rayna Greenberg? You don't expect it.
22:52 Speaker 01 Oh, that's a long game, love bomb. Friends for years.
22:56 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
22:56 Speaker 01 Oh.
22:57 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah. You know, the lesson here is-
22:59 Speaker 01 And then you go, then you go, well, he's never told me this, so he must have been thinking it the whole time.
23:05 Rayna Greenberg? Here's the lesson, is I should stop sleeping with my friends.
23:08 Speaker 01 Yes. If I do.
23:12 Speaker 01 There is like, there are things that guys do, and I think probably women, but just speaking as a guy, where you might have sex and then you could come off ghosting where it's like, what a piece of shit. But it might be so, he might be so insecure in himself and like, who he is and the awkwardness that happened because of it, that he'll, but I don't think him, but I'm-
23:33 Rayna Greenberg? Loves himself.
23:34 Speaker 01 Yeah.
23:34 Rayna Greenberg? He is so self-impressed. No.
23:36 Speaker 01 Yeah.

Okay, and Addy, our little pink pill sponsor, is becoming a whole vibe of its own.
26:37 Ashley Hesseltine? I know. I have been hearing about it and seeing it everywhere.
26:40 Rayna Greenberg? I just saw Gwyneth was talking about Addy, and I heard some other celebrities like Jennie Garth say Addy has helped them.
26:47 Ashley Hesseltine? I love knowing that low libido is becoming less faux pas to discuss, and women can talk about what's really helping them. And for many of them, that's Addy. So a quick reminder for the listeners, Addy is the little pink pill clinically proven to boost frustrating low libido in certain pre-menopausal women. In fact, clinical trials reported women having more satisfying sex each month.
27:06 Rayna Greenberg? Hell, yes. The Addy vibe is a sexy vibe.

28:36 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, our next headline, this is a big one. Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds comes to a dramatic end. Are you familiar with the lawsuit?
28:46 Speaker 01 I am.
28:48 Speaker 01 I am somewhat.
28:49 Rayna Greenberg? I'm not gonna test you on it.
28:50 Speaker 01 Oh, I thought you were gonna go into a test. Okay, yes, I know that she first civil case sued him and then he countersued for $400 million, which by the way, if you get sued, like, what's a number that would be like insult? You know what I mean? Like, 400 million? If someone sued me for 400, that's how successful they think I am? It is a subtle flex to get sued for a shit ton of money.
29:15 Rayna Greenberg? I would be so flattered.
29:16 Speaker 01 I know.
29:17 Rayna Greenberg? So, this is not-
29:18 Speaker 01 For $400, I'd be flattered.
29:21 Rayna Greenberg? For that article couch?
29:22 Speaker 01 Yeah, I gotta get that cigar, baby.
29:24 Rayna Greenberg? So, by the way, they have a court date scheduled for March of 2026. So, this lawsuit that she filed against him is still going forward.
29:31 Speaker 01 Yes.
29:32 Rayna Greenberg? This is the countersuit. So, he filed a countersuit against her for 400 million. He filed like a larger suit in response. So, in June 2025, the judge dismissed the $400 million lawsuit, finding that many statements by Lively were legally protected and legal standards for defamation or extortion were met. And he was allowed to file an amendment complaint. And the deadline was in, was October 31st. And he just didn't.
29:59 Speaker 01 I know. But as, something I saw is so he could then appeal, it'd be easier for him to appeal in the future.
30:07 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
30:07 Speaker 01 Cause it seems like some, like an error that if you had a good lawyer and they just forgot to do that, that's insane. Obviously, there's probably a reason behind it.
30:16 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, I just think it's so funny. This is a $400 million lawsuit, they just forgot.
30:21 Speaker 01 There's no way they just forgot. It would be amazing, though, if they did. They, it would be incredible.
30:26 Rayna Greenberg? This is like so much ado about nothing you're gonna forget?
30:31 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. You know, like-
30:35 Rayna Greenberg? It's crazy, the amount of text messages and phone calls, voice notes, video that they subpoenaed that was released to the public, and he just, they just forgot.
30:45 Speaker 01 I know, it kind of reminds me of like, uh, well, no, it's actually nothing like that. But if you get your real estate license, you just have to like renew, and it, and it costs not, it costs like fifteen dollars to renew, and then you just don't do it, and then it just ruins your whole, like, that's what it reminds me of, of like such a, such a simple thing, after you've done so much.
31:04 Rayna Greenberg? So much.
31:04 Speaker 01 Which isn't a real estate, well, for all you realtors out there.
31:08 Rayna Greenberg? But this is unearthing so much, like, personal information and communication between like, him and Blake Lively, and the, and the other cast, and the production, and to just be like-
31:18 Speaker 01 Dude.
31:19 Rayna Greenberg? I got busy.
31:20 Speaker 01 Might be. There was a five hundred million dollar lawsuit, sorry, you cheap ass bitch.
31:25 Rayna Greenberg? But I got really, I got nervous when I saw the headline, because like, I, all has been building to this for me. I've been, I'm like foaming at the mouth for March twenty twenty six, for this lawsuit to go forward, and I thought it all went away, and hope is not lost, we will get the lawsuit. So Blake Lively's suit, the original claims against him are still alive and well, and scheduled for next year.
31:47 Speaker 01 And that's a civil case, so she's just gonna go after money as well. I don't know exactly how much. Part of this too, I think, he wanted his lawyers just to focus on that case for now. I think that was the other reason why they ignored it. But, yeah, is it gonna be televised? It's gonna be on-
32:05 Rayna Greenberg? God, I fucking hope so.
32:06 Speaker 01 Oh, fucking, it would be huge.
32:07 Rayna Greenberg? Like the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial?
32:09 Speaker 01 That's what I'm saying.
32:10 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, I can't remember, like, what the, like-
32:14 Speaker 01 I just remember the poop. That's all I remember, is the poop. The poop that was left on a pillow. And that's all, you know?
32:23 Rayna Greenberg? But like, what are the standards for televising a court case? I actually don't know.
32:27 Speaker 01 Depends how hot they are. They look like the Louvre guys.
32:31 Rayna Greenberg? Fake Louvre guys. Andrew, you really lit me up on that one.
32:34 Speaker 01 On my bad. I didn't mean to call you out.
32:36 Rayna Greenberg? Can any trial be televised?
32:40 Speaker 01 Or, or type in, is Blake Lively's trial gonna be televised?
32:44 Rayna Greenberg? In the US. Okay, it says, no, not any crime, any trial can be televised in the US. It varies by court with federal crime trials being prohibited while most state courts allow cameras at a judge's discretion.
32:57 Speaker 01 I find it weird that any court cases are televised.
33:01 Rayna Greenberg? I find it crazy too. Federal civil and bankruptcy proceedings may have live audio access, but federal criminal trials are generally not televised. So a criminal trial, but this is a civil suit.
33:11 Speaker 01 So it's not gonna be on TV?
33:13 Rayna Greenberg? No, they're saying like, just like the poop thing with Amber Heard, that's a civil suit, it's not a criminal trial.
33:17 Speaker 01 Oh, so, oh, wow.
33:18 Rayna Greenberg? But like, wasn't OJ Simpson televised?
33:20 Speaker 01 See, that, honestly, with so much at stake, I think what happens is, I think, uh, TV stations and the news is all behind that as well. Cause they know it's gonna just add ratings everywhere.
33:30 Rayna Greenberg? You think it's about big TV?
33:32 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's about big TV.
33:33 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, so this AI, I mean, ChatGPT says, the Blake Lively trial is not expected to be televised because it's taking place in a federal court, which has strict rules prohibiting cameras in the courtroom. While some limited pre-trial hearings might access, blah blah blah, the main trial itself will not be televised. What a huge miss-
33:49 Speaker 01 She would've been great on the stand.
33:50 Rayna Greenberg? God damn, I wish I could walk-
33:51 Speaker 01 She'll have like mascara running-
33:53 Rayna Greenberg? Yes!
33:54 Speaker 01 From like the town.
33:56 Rayna Greenberg? Andrew, I'm so sad about this.
33:58 Speaker 01 I've, you know, I used to walk a dog, uh, in the building where Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively live?
34:03 Rayna Greenberg? Wait, I've been to that building. I remember you-
34:05 Speaker 01 I can't say the address.
34:07 Rayna Greenberg? I've been to that building and I recorded with you.
34:09 Speaker 01 Oh, really?
34:09 Rayna Greenberg? Right?
34:10 Speaker 01 Maybe.
34:11 Rayna Greenberg? Who's to say?
34:12 Speaker 01 I saw them all the time. I used to work out at the gym in the building and they're like, why is the dog walker working out in the gym? It was weird. But, yeah.
34:19 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, the Dodgers won the World Series?
34:22 Speaker 01 Yes, they did.
34:23 Rayna Greenberg? Second time in a row?
34:24 Speaker 01 First time at Ashley's wedding.
34:26 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, can I just tell you how funny this is? Ashley's wedding was game seven of the World Series in Los Angeles.
34:32 Speaker 01 I know.
34:33 Rayna Greenberg? And every man at that wedding had a phone out on mute, up under the centerpiece. Every man's eyes were at the center of the table. And somebody even said to me, our video actually was like- A lot of the guys seem to be like fighting with their girlfriends. Did you notice that? And I go, no, they're all watching the World Series.
34:50 Speaker 01 Yeah, and all the women were getting mad that we were watching.
34:53 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
34:53 Speaker 01 And there were a lot of like silent fist pumps and stuff and it's like, but people were still involved. People were able to multitask. I feel like people are able to watch a game. We're trained enough as men to do both.
35:03 Rayna Greenberg? I was sitting with you and my agent and he, that's so LA, me and my agent.
35:07 Speaker 01 Yeah.
35:08 Rayna Greenberg? Together. Um, and the two of you had a little camera, but you guys paid attention to the speeches. You weren't being like total assholes.
35:14 Speaker 01 No, no, yeah, and look, it was an amazing game. Like it was hard to compete, but that's how great the wedding was. Cause it's still managed to get our attention.
35:24 Rayna Greenberg? That's so true.
35:25 Speaker 01 Yeah, cause that's not easy to compete against. I mean, it literally went to the 11th inning and they won by one run. LA won, which is crazy.
35:32 Rayna Greenberg? That was a crazy game and to have it be at her wedding. At one point, one of my friend's husbands walked by me with one AirPod in and I was like.
35:41 Speaker 01 Yeah, I saw a guy in full uniform and like taking.
35:45 Rayna Greenberg? That was the Halloween party, Andrew.
35:46 Speaker 01 Oh, I thought that was the wedding.
35:50 Speaker 01 No, it was, it was interesting. There were definitely a couple of times where guys were like, yes. And it wasn't for the speech. It wasn't, but it was like.
35:59 Rayna Greenberg? So the game started during the ceremony. The first inning was during the ceremony. Do you think that people were listening to the?
36:04 Speaker 01 I know there was one guy there apparently who was watching during the ceremony part and that's the first inning. And that is uncalled for. Like they, it's one thing to check in in the 10th inning when the game's on the line. If you're like listening to the pregame, well, you're, yeah, yeah, it was insane.
36:23 Rayna Greenberg? That is so crazy. Like unless you work for the team, there is no excuse. I don't care if you are the number one fan on, unless you previously played for the team, honestly, even that. You have, how many innings were on the base? Nine? It's the first inning. You could skip it.
36:39 Speaker 01 It's a wild thing to do.
36:41 Rayna Greenberg? I, it's insane. Honestly, like even football games, if like the teams are pretty equally matched, I don't need to watch until the fourth quarter.
36:46 Speaker 01 Yes, it's a, it's a wild thing. Unless he had money on the game or money on the first inning.
36:51 Rayna Greenberg? Alright, so I don't have anything else to say about the Dodgers winning the World Series, do you?
36:55 Speaker 01 No, just that they, they're, I mean, look, they, what's beautiful about their team is it's diverse. It's very diverse and people were talking about that, especially nowadays with how things that are going down. Is that diversity is a strength and that that's amazing that they were able to win with that, but they also have like a billion dollar salary cap and they pay more money than anyone else. So it kind of balances out, but it, uh, yeah, no, it's cool to see them win. I like their team. I like, uh, Otani, who's literally like Babe Ruth. He's the guy that pitches and hits.
37:29 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
37:30 Speaker 01 Good looking Asian man.
37:33 Rayna Greenberg? I don't know one thing about baseball. I, I mean, you could ask me to name more than four teams, I couldn't do it.
37:39 Speaker 01 What is, yeah, it's so, it's so amazing how much useless information guys have in regards to sports and that takes up their brain.
37:49 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
37:50 Speaker 01 Useless. Like I know who has like the third most ever home runs. It's like, why is that in my brain?
37:55 Rayna Greenberg? My dad knows that stuff. My dad and my brother have like dedicated their lives to like sports stuff.
38:00 Speaker 01 But they can't remember like when the flight is with your wife for the-
38:03 Rayna Greenberg? He doesn't remember my birthday.
38:04 Speaker 01 Well, well, this is what you gotta do. You gotta look up what happened that day in baseball and then combine the two so he'll never forget.
38:16 Rayna Greenberg? My dad really would remember my birthday.
38:18 Speaker 01 If you gave him a stat.
38:19 Rayna Greenberg? Hundred percent. Hundred percent. The stat wasn't, isn't that your daughter was born today?
38:24 Speaker 01 What is, what is your birthday? What is your birthday?
38:26 Rayna Greenberg? June 17th.
38:27 Speaker 01 All right, look.
38:28 Rayna Greenberg? And I'll tell you how easy, me, my brother and my mom were all born on the 17th of different months.
38:34 Speaker 01 Yeah. Well, that gets tough.
38:36 Rayna Greenberg? All he has to do is remember the month, not, as long as he knows we're in June.
38:40 Speaker 01 I would argue that's harder.
38:41 Rayna Greenberg? Based on what?
38:43 Speaker 01 Because they're all 17. So then he has to, yes, he just has to remember the month, but he has to remember which month.
38:49 Rayna Greenberg? You think it's harder to remember which month I was born?
38:53 Speaker 01 I don't know this, everyone's 17 complicates things to me.
38:56 Rayna Greenberg? I'll give you another stat on this one. My dad is born the same month as me, so we're both June.
39:01 Speaker 01 Yeah, now, you're twins. Yeah, yeah, no, no, it gets worse.
39:05 Rayna Greenberg? I have to text him all the time telling him it was my brother's birthday. My brother did have to text me and tell me it was my sister in law's birthday, though.
39:11 Speaker 01 You know what?
39:12 Rayna Greenberg? I did forget.
39:13 Speaker 01 Well, COVID.
39:18 Speaker 01 Isn't that fun? That'd be so great to just use that stuff on COVID.
39:22 Rayna Greenberg? I'm pretty self-involved and everyone knows that, so I, it's fine.
39:26 Speaker 01 I don't know what month it is. I don't pay attention to dates anymore. Our jobs are very weird like that. If we had a normal job and it's like, this is the month, the week, everyone, Labor Day you get off and like, you concentrate on the calendar. This is summer break for the kids. This is when school starts. Then you, this is when my daughter's birthday is.
39:47 Rayna Greenberg? But I could tell you the dates of pretty much all of our live shows for the last like seven years. That information I have.
39:53 Speaker 01 Yeah.
39:53 Rayna Greenberg? When's your birthday?
39:54 Speaker 01 April 18th.
39:55 Rayna Greenberg? What's the, um, what's the sign associated with that?
39:58 Speaker 01 I'm an Aries on the cusp of Taurus.
40:01 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, you didn't quite make it to Taurus.
40:03 Speaker 01 No.
40:04 Rayna Greenberg? Taurus men are famously terrible, so you made it right under the, right under the, the cup.
40:08 Speaker 01 I feel more Aries, from what I've heard.
40:10 Rayna Greenberg? What, what's an Aries man?
40:12 Speaker 01 Just huge cock.
40:14 Rayna Greenberg? I don't want to know.
40:15 Speaker 01 No, obviously it's not.
40:21 Rayna Greenberg? You give boyfriend dick energy.
40:23 Speaker 01 That's exactly how my wife describes, well, husband dick energy, I guess.
40:27 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
40:27 Speaker 01 Yeah, no, you famously have described where you can have sex multiple times and you can still, you know, go skiing that day.
40:34 Rayna Greenberg? You're not ripped to shreds.
40:35 Speaker 01 Yeah.
40:35 Rayna Greenberg? Yes, I definitely didn't say ski. It wasn't an outdoor activity. It was like, take a walk. You can take a walk without being in pain the next day.
40:41 Speaker 01 No, that describes me pretty well.
40:43 Rayna Greenberg? Um, all right, well, we're gonna just take one more quick ad break and then we'll get right back into it. This episode is brought to you by Saks Fifth Avenue. So Ashley and I have been talking about Saks for weeks now and I just, I love it more and more all the time. It makes shopping feel like really personal and with fall coming up and it's time to gift other people, it is a perfect place to go for like a holiday shop. So if you go to their site right now, they have a holiday gift section. They have for her, for him, beauty gifts, they have best-selling gifts, and it's a massive range. So if you want to get somebody perfume, if you want to get somebody a jacket, Jewelry, shoes. I think shopping for men is like really, really tough. And thinking of things that like, everybody doesn't have, like little gifty things.
41:26 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, there's Santal candles, there are Prada hair clips.
41:30 Speaker 01 Love it.
41:31 Rayna Greenberg? Like, the range on this is huge. They have these amazing coffee mug set by Zwilling? Zwilling? Zwilling? I'm gonna butcher the name of that. They have pajamas, they have bags, they have lipsticks. I mean, it's just, I'm not a great gift giver. And I tend to like type in like what to get for him and you get all the same articles. And then like you end up just buying the same people the same stuff every single year. And so, I like what Saks does and you know you're not just gonna be giving them the same gifts that everybody else is giving. It's like through your own personal style, you can do everything like on your agenda right there. So if you want to get something for kids, for your man, for your parents, everything is right there. And if you're like me and you're looking for something just like a little bit different,
42:11 Rayna Greenberg? there's great ideas, there's a ton of brands, huge range of prices and options. So, shopping can be fun and easy. You can head to Saks Fifth Avenue for inspiring ways to elevate your personal style and your gift giving every single day.
42:27 Speaker 01 Love that.
42:28 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, and QUO. So, running a business on a clunky old phone system is like competing with a hand tied behind your back. And you could miss all these calls and leave money on the table. So QUO, formerly OpenPhone, is a modern alternative. It's built to help you make smarter decisions, build stronger relationships, and never miss an opportunity. It is the number one phone system that streamlines customer communications. You don't have to juggle two phones and be tied to a landline. And your team can share one number, which is great. You can collaborate on calls and text, sort of like a shared inbox. It'll keep the response times super fast, keep your customers happy. They have a smarter built-in AI system, so they'll log calls, they'll create summaries for you. They're gonna automate next steps. I mean, I wish this existed when I worked in corporate America.
43:13 Rayna Greenberg? Maybe I'd still be in corporate America. Whether you're a solo operator or a leading a growing team, QUO can help you get connected and help you deliver standout customer experiences. Join over 90,000 businesses using QUO.

43:39 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, and Merit Beauty. So when it comes to makeup, what's kind of in the formula matters just as much as how it looks. And there's so many products that are heavy and packed with ingredients, and you don't want them on your skin. And it's so interesting because we put so much money and time in our skincare routines, but sometimes what's in makeup, the thing that sits on your face and your body the longest throughout the day, can kind of be an afterthought. And I love what Merit Beauty is doing. It's simple, clean essentials that don't sort of overwhelm you. It's a minimalist beauty brand. They have elevated makeup and skincare designed to help you look put together in minutes. So that's what I'm wearing. I just have, since I've been introduced to this company, I'm just loving it. Their bestsellers are proof of why less is really more.
44:20 Rayna Greenberg? So they have a flush balm that gives you this natural, healthy glow without kind of overdoing it. Sometimes I just find those things to be just like a little much. And one is sold every 30, was sold every 30 seconds in 2024. That's how good it is. They have, then there's the minimalist, which sort of works like a double duty as a foundation and concealer. So you can get quick coverage without layering on a bunch of products. And again, that's the thing that's going to sit on your face all day long. Why wouldn't you want something of the highest quality? And if it's a no makeup day, you can do Merit's Great Skin Serum. That's really all you need. It instantly hydrates you and plumps you for this like fresh dewy look. I'm just, I'm really loving it. And as I get older, it's more and more important to me to think about what is on my face and body all day long. So right now, Merit Beauty is offering our listeners their signature makeup bag
45:05 Rayna Greenberg? with your first order at MeritBeauty.com. That's M-E-R-I-T beauty.com. To get your free signature makeup bag with your first order, MeritBeauty.com. All right, I'm going to talk about this People Magazine article. Rich Talk influencer Becca Bloom breaks down controversial relationship rules with her husband who pays for everything. So if you've never been on like Rich Talk, Becca Bloom, really famous for just sort of talking about her lifestyle. She seems like very sweet and cute. She talks about her private chef and her homes and her clothing. And I mean, people are obsessed with just watching just the depth of wealth in this girl's life. She recently got married. And this TikTok that she posted went really viral. She posted it with her now husband about the rules that they have with each other
45:50 Rayna Greenberg? to make their relationship better. So I had you watch this so you could weigh in on it. I thought it'd be a fun relationship topic. So here's the rules. We never talk negatively about each other in front of other people. If I have something to say to them, I'll say it to their face.
46:03 Speaker 01 Okay, when I talked about calling the cops earlier with Brenna and us fighting, I was kidding. That wasn't real.
46:10 Rayna Greenberg? I know, Andrew.
46:11 Speaker 01 I would never talk badly about us.
46:13 Rayna Greenberg? I find it crazy when people speak about their partner negatively in public.
46:17 Speaker 01 Yeah, but I do think that there's like a level, if it's in front of each other, I think you should be able to do it. I think you should be able to make fun of one another and having an audience in front and not be like, I can't believe.
46:32 Rayna Greenberg? Can't you feel like the difference, though? Like, it's a very distinct difference of couples when they're like both in on it. And then when one person is just kind of like ragging on the other person. I see it in comedy a lot, too. Like, when I hear comedians speak about their partners, there's just a tone, you know it instantly, when like the partner's kind of in on it. Or when the partner is just there as like the butt of the joke.
46:54 Speaker 01 Yes, you can feel that. You could also sense like, oh, this relationship's not going to last long. They're getting divorced soon because she or he seems very angry about the most minute things ever. And if this is what they're mad about, I can only imagine what's happening.
47:07 Rayna Greenberg? Behind closed doors.
47:08 Speaker 01 Behind closed doors.
47:08 Rayna Greenberg? Totally. Okay, the next one is, once a week, he says, I sit back down, I compliment her for an hour straight.
47:16 Speaker 01 Okay, if you watch this video, by the way, going, just real quick to the first one, watch his smile when she says, we never talk bad about each other in front of people. We never do that. And it focuses on his face and he has a smile like he's been locked in a cage for like a decade and she only feeds him like pizza rolls like through the cage. And he just goes, we never, like, you'll see, he's trapped. There's a man trapped in there, if you watch the video, anyhow.
47:47 Rayna Greenberg? I just want to not stick up for him, but like when you're not used to being on camera and somebody is in front of you talking and you're behind them, I do think you're kind of like, I don't know where to look or what to do with my body.
47:57 Speaker 01 You mean trapped? You mean trapped? He's trapped. I'm telling you.
48:02 Rayna Greenberg? No!
48:03 Speaker 01 No, she is a ve- it's very dark, this video. I see, and maybe I'm projecting onto it, but I'm telling you right now that that second thing of the compliment for an hour each week, one-sided, is psychopathic. It's crazy. I don't know, I don't know why, it like, really bothered me. Just imagine, okay, an hour. One hour of me complimenting you.
48:30 Rayna Greenberg? Just imagine it, imagine it right now.
48:34 Speaker 01 Every week? Every week?
48:36 Rayna Greenberg? Every day!
48:37 Speaker 01 Oh my god, this is insanity. It is fake, it's performative, it's not real, and it's selfish. And I hate it.
48:45 Rayna Greenberg? Well, here's the- I like her, and we don't rag on women on this show.
48:49 Speaker 01 Okay, I'm not ragging on women, I'm ragging on an influencer who happens to be a woman. Okay, if you, if, if I, okay, how can I come up with each, an hour each week of compliments? How, how's that possible?
49:03 Rayna Greenberg? A fresh hour is interesting. Each week a fresh hour would be tough.
49:08 Speaker 01 Does she give him compliments?
49:09 Rayna Greenberg? That was not part of the video.
49:13 Speaker 01 I love women. I don't want, this is not women bashing.
49:18 Speaker 01 Okay, here, this is how it would be. I love your, like, nails. I really like your hands. Like, eventually, like, okay, your hair is nice. You have a great personality. I like your laugh.
49:29 Rayna Greenberg? Well, you would have to talk about something that happened this week, right?
49:32 Speaker 01 Seven seconds.
49:33 Rayna Greenberg? It was the best seven seconds of my life.
49:36 Speaker 01 Your birthday's June 17th.
49:43 Rayna Greenberg? That was the best 17 seconds of my life, and honestly, listen, what we all strive for is a partner that you don't need to have, like, dedicated scheduled compliment time, right? You just want somebody that, like, you know thinks you're the best thing in the world, like, all the time.
49:56 Speaker 01 Yes. That's fine. It has to be organic.
49:59 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, Andrew, let me ask you. What if it was turned around? What if you got an hour of compliments from Brenna every week?
50:05 Speaker 01 I would hate it. I would hate it.
50:06 Rayna Greenberg? So you would?
50:07 Speaker 01 I would hate it. I'd feel like they're all lies. There's no way I would put that on someone.
50:11 Rayna Greenberg? Okay. Well, if you hate that rule, you're gonna really hate the third rule.
50:14 Speaker 01 That one really bothered me, though. But go ahead. Let me see. Because this video, I was cringe. I was walking around New York City. Like, literally, like, I had my hair coming up on my arms. I was so angry.
50:25 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, but here's the thing. I look at couples and I'm like, I would never do this thing that they do if it works for them.
50:32 Speaker 01 But does it?
50:33 Rayna Greenberg? They're married. I'm not.
50:36 Speaker 01 Okay, what's the third one?
50:37 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, number three. She says, "I'm very lucky to have my own finances. Been in our relationship. David pays for everything." And he says, "Isn't that the bare minimum because your time really is valuable?" And in the past, when he is... She says, "When he's wasted my time, I send him an invoice." So it's twofold. He pays for everything.
50:57 Speaker 01 Yes. I send him an invoice. I mean, it is. And she's a billionaire. It is just so diabolical and how... This is, like, visceral for me because it's just so selfish and so self-involved. But I think what is so annoying is because, like, if someone was doing something so blatantly bad, people can, like, go, "That's terrible." What she does is people go, "Wow, you really value yourself. You're so... Ah, I wish I had this." Like, it's like hiding in plain sight to me that she's a monster.
51:33 Rayna Greenberg? Listen, I can't relate to that. I mean, the words of Kendrick Lamar, they're not like us. I'm not... I can't relate to that. When two people are so rich that money doesn't matter at all, like, they're sending each other invoices. It's hilarious. Like, if there was a power dynamic and an imbalance of finances, it's different.
51:51 Speaker 01 Okay, oh, so you're saying that the invoices, it's funny?
51:54 Rayna Greenberg? I'm saying, like, at that level, who cares? It's not like one of them makes a ton of money, the other one doesn't. I think they have so much money, it doesn't matter. He could invoice her for a million dollars. It wouldn't matter.
52:05 Speaker 01 So him even paying for things is, like, fun? It's like pretend?
52:09 Rayna Greenberg? Yes. It's like, it's water under the bridge.
52:12 Speaker 01 Okay. I don't know. I feel like in a relationship, when that stuff happens and it's just expected and it's like, this is what he does. I don't know, I don't think it ends well.
52:22 Rayna Greenberg? I don't think you're supposed to take relationship advice from these people. I wouldn't take relationship advice from anybody that their life doesn't have anything to do with mine. Their consequences are different than mine. Their, their standard of living is different than mine. That's why I find this like blanket relationship advice so stupid when people are just like, "Leave him, break up with him, all that stuff." It's like, I don't know, other people want kids, I don't. So they have to operate a certain way in the world. Some people really need to rely on the finances of their partner. I'm never gonna have to do that. I built a life so that thankfully, hopefully, somebody can just rely on me. Somebody can invoice me.
52:58 Speaker 01 Well, maybe that is why I'm projecting so much because I still, you know, I'm not doing terribly, but I'm not, you know, rent's expensive in New York. Like, we still have to, me and my wife, she's an esthetician. We still do have to balance our, our budget to be able to pay rent. And it's still like, it's like it's forced on us to like have to deal with who pays for what. And they're just like, "I pay for this, I invoice you." Maybe that's why I'm so angry because of my own finances.
53:26 Rayna Greenberg? I think that like you, we as a society should be able to objectively look at content and be like, "This does not apply to me."
53:32 Speaker 01 Okay, yeah, okay, now in that sense, these guys are great.
53:36 Rayna Greenberg? Listen, it's rage bait. It's, I'm just fucking, all of this is rage bait.
53:39 Speaker 01 Yeah, but if you look at the comments, I thought it was gonna be all hate. But it's like, "I wish I had this, you go, girl, you're amazing, I wish I had a boy like this." And not one person, like, like one comment was like negative.
53:52 Rayna Greenberg? This is gross. I mean, people love her, she's really,
53:54 Speaker 01 It's crazy.
53:55 Rayna Greenberg? She's sort of interesting because she's not open to feedback and you can't have like a one-sided fight with somebody. Like, she's like, "Try to cancel me, I'm never gonna acknowledge this," you know?
54:04 Speaker 01 Yeah.
54:04 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, so we always wrap up with headlines. I'm gonna breeze through two and then we actually have like a guest, we have a caller today. It's Ashley. She's sent me a headline. So the headlines that I wrote, "Krischel Staus reveals what Selling Sunset producers refused to air." So there's some drama and tea on the set of Selling Sunset, where Krischel was basically saying she was forced into these scenes with people and forced to fight with people. Like, what else is new? It's reality TV. "Britney Spears deletes Instagram account after a series of cryptic posts." You know, I always root for Britney, it's just, you know, I want her to relax a little bit and she deserves that. Just maybe get off Instagram for a little. And then our final headline, which I didn't know anything about, Ashley said, "You guys gonna talk about the Erika Kirk and JD Vance hug?" I don't know about it and you do.
54:46 Speaker 01 I do.
54:46 Rayna Greenberg? Let's close with that.
54:47 Speaker 01 I know too much about it. It is.
54:49 Rayna Greenberg? Teach me.
54:50 Speaker 01 Okay, we all know Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's wife. Obviously, the murder was terrible. J D Vance has now, she's gone on like a tour.
55:03 Speaker 01 Like promoting Turning Point. And now, it's just weird, they're like forcing J D Vance to fill the role of her hus- her ex-husband, her late husband.
55:14 Rayna Greenberg? Well, he immediately hosted, co-hosted the podcast, the Charlie Kirk podcast, following his murder.
55:19 Speaker 01 Yes.
55:20 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
55:20 Speaker 01 So she brings him on, before bringing him on stage, she goes, uh, you know, this man is amazing. I see qualities of my husband in this man. Like, but it like, and then he brought, she brought up his wife for a second, but it kind of felt like shade.
55:37 Rayna Greenberg? Uh huh.
55:37 Speaker 01 So he's married to an Indian woman. And a lot of these people that love Turning Point are just, they want white Christians and that's it. And she's Indian and Hindu. So, so, okay, so then she brings up J D Vance and they embrace. If you saw your man getting hugged like this, not only does it hug, he grabs her hips underneath, like her waist, on her ass, like he's, he has two fingers on her ass, right? She has her hands in his hair. Stroking his head with her fingers, with her, and just, and it's long. And then she's wearing black leather pants. And he's in there and it's like, literally like seven seconds of this embrace.
56:21 Rayna Greenberg? It's too long for a hug.
56:22 Speaker 01 Too long, and when does a hand go on the back of another, of a husband's hand?
56:27 Rayna Greenberg? My hand is only back there on somebody I'm sleeping with.
56:29 Speaker 01 Yes.
56:30 Rayna Greenberg? That, I'm, I'm not accusing them of sleeping, I'm just saying like that, the only time I touched the back of a man's head like that, sex.
56:36 Speaker 01 Sex. And so then J D Vance gets on stage and in his speech, he talks about his wife being Hindu and how he wishes she would convert to Christianity. So you tell me if they're not gonna get separated and divorced and he's gonna end up with Erika Kirk, cause she's blond haired, blue eyed, so when he makes a run for presidency, they're gonna team up together.
56:57 Rayna Greenberg? Okay. This is a hot take. All right, we're gonna close the episode out with that hot take. Andrew, thank you for being here, my first ever co-host that is not Ashley. How do you feel?
57:07 Speaker 01 I, I think I did terrible.
57:09 Rayna Greenberg? Andrew, you were great.
57:10 Speaker 01 Give me an hour of compliments after this.
57:12 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, we're gonna go to lunch and I'll give you an hour of compliments. I love you so much. You are so funny. People can come see you.
