  Welcome to The Snack, a lighter serving of Girls Gotta Eat.

• 0:04Rayna Greenberg?

  This is a Dear Media production.

• 0:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Enjoy.

• 0:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Hi, guys.

• 0:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hi, guys.

• 0:12Rayna Greenberg?

  Happy Snack Day.

• 0:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Happy Snack Day. Cute.

• 0:17Rayna Greenberg?

  You just asked me if my mom listens to The Snack, and it made me laugh out loud. I don't know why you said it so cute.

• 0:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just because I had a specific, like, The Snack. Like, I didn't know if she was just a Monday girly.

• 0:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I don't, I don't know, because, like, if you don't know anything about pop culture, like, I think that we have people, listeners of all ages, but, like, I think you probably age out of The Snack at, like, 70.

• 0:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Cindy doesn't.

• 0:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, your mom's our number one fan, and it's Sherry.

• 0:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 0:40Rayna Greenberg?

  And Sherry just turned 76, and she also listens.

• 0:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  I love it. Love to hear it. Okay, speaking of, you know, women of a certain age, I have a DM that I got after The Snack last week. You guys are not ready. Okay, she says, "Ha, ha, ha," just start. I love a message from a stranger that starts with "ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." Like, they're responding to The Snack in the DM, you know, okay. So she said, and I asked her if I could read this. She said, "Ha, ha, I just listened to the new snack. I love it. The woman who sent money to Brad Pitt," we talked about this last week. This woman basically got catfished from Brad Pitt. She said, "The woman who sent money to Brad Pitt is just like how my grandmother thinks she's in a relationship with Matt Rife."

• 1:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  You may remember when it says, "Top 10 Worst Men of 2024."

• 1:23Rayna Greenberg?

  When she declined to explain, she was like, "It's just self-explanatory."

• 1:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  You're not ready for the, for the rest of this. "They met on Facebook, and no one can tell her differently." We've taken away her iPad. She buys another one.

• 1:37Rayna Greenberg?

  She's like, "Matt needs me."

• 1:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  She buys hundreds of dollars of Visa gift cards to send to him. This is a problem.

• 1:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Matt Rife, the number two highest-selling comedian of this year.

• 1:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  She is so sneaky. She says she's talked on the phone with his mother. Why is it the mom always involved in these scams?

• 1:58Rayna Greenberg?

  That's how they get you of a certain generation.

• 2:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  She says she's talked on the phone with his mother, and he's a good Christian man. Oh, didn't he just get baptized?

• 2:04Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, he just, he just came out as a Christian.

• 2:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  My grandma's 82 and losing it. It sounds like she's got it. It sounds like she's thriving. To be 82 and be like, that's my boyfriend.

• 2:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you think she mailed him the gift cards like when you were a kid?

• 2:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm curious about the logistics of the gift cards.

• 2:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Did your parents, did your grandparents used to mail you checks when you were a kid for like $10?

• 2:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my god, a fucking check?

• 2:26Rayna Greenberg?

  I loved it.

• 2:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  A $20 check?

• 2:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Love grandma, grandpa.

• 2:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  If you have any suggestions, let me know, lol. I've actually haven't talked to my grandma in a while. But she sits at family parties and texts with her phone in front of her face like a teenager.

• 2:40Rayna Greenberg?

  To Matt Rife.

• 2:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's absolutely infuriating. Ah, anyway, I love you guys. Have the best day.

• 2:45Rayna Greenberg?

  She texts at, like at Christmas, she's texting Matt Rife.

• 2:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's so funny. They're like, Grandma, everyone go around the table, say what you're thankful for. She's like, I'm thankful for my boyfriend, Matt. And his new Netflix special. I gotta send him some money.

• 3:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  So crazy.

• 3:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, my suggestion is, there was an article that came out a few weeks ago about the top, I have real advice about the top selling comedians in the US this year just by ticket sales. Nate Bargatze was number one at like 87 million and Matt Rife was number two at like $65 million in ticket sales alone via Ticketmaster. So just send her that and Matt Rife does not need Amazon gift cards.

• 3:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, and I would be so mad. I'm like, send me those gift cards, Grandma.

• 3:27Rayna Greenberg?

  Absolutely.

• 3:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's what grandmas are for.

• 3:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Then you send her a list of the 100 highest grossing women in the country and you're not on it and you just say, I need those gift cards.

• 3:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  I need those pieces of gift cards.

• 3:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, you know what you should do?

• 3:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  And yes, where is she sending them? Is she, is she like when I used to send my letter to Santa? She just puts North Pole and puts it in the mailbox? It just says, Matt Rife. Matt Rife, LA. Or wherever he lives. Austin.

• 3:48Rayna Greenberg?

  At WME. Okay, here's my backup idea is you create a fake Facebook account and you, you're Matt Rife's dad or you're Matt Rife's aunt. And you also get in on this so that you are also getting money. Like if someone, like, no one's gonna scam my grandma that's not me. So like, she could also start scamming her grandma.

• 4:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  She should. It sounds like they're, they're, they're fighting right now, but, because her grandma, her grandma's never present at the family holidays.

• 4:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I just wanted to reach you that.

• 4:18Rayna Greenberg?

  That's so funny.

• 4:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  So it was like a funny follow up from last week, so.

• 4:21Rayna Greenberg?

  I love that. You remember when I got catfished by that guy a few years ago?

• 4:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my God. What a memory unlocked.

• 4:28Rayna Greenberg?

  It was during COVID, it was during like COVID quarantine.

• 4:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, you were fucked up.

• 4:32Rayna Greenberg?

  I was fucked up. And then this guy sent me this photo of him and his dog. It was so cute. And he said like, so great meeting you in the airport lounge, whatever. And then I, it never occurred to me that I was being catfished. He sent me photos of himself throughout the day. It was three different people. That guy didn't even commit to being the same person.

• 4:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  But the way you convinced yourself.

• 4:50Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, we're sexting. By 10:00 PM, we were sexting.

• 4:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like you were sending me photos. I'm like, something is not matching up. It's a black person and a white person and an Indian guy. You're like, he just looks different in different lighting.

• 5:03Rayna Greenberg?

  It's the lighting. By the end of the day, I was like sending him nudes. It was dark times. And also, do you remember we figured out who that guy was? Remember that girl was like, that photo is my boyfriend?

• 5:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  The photo he was using.

• 5:13Rayna Greenberg?

  Because we had Neve Schulman on the show of Catfish fame. We like then became friends with him and his wife. And we were talking to him about it. I forget, I must have read him the DM or something. And this girl reached out and was like, that's my boyfriend's photos.

• 5:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, we realized through the photos he was using. Well, one of the sets of photos. The white, the white guy. We should have Neve back. Talk about this, Grandma.

• 5:32Rayna Greenberg?

  That would be fine. He, you know, he got like a crazy terrible accident recently and like came back basically like from the grave, essentially like.

• 5:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my God.

• 5:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Anyways, well, I hope he's doing okay. Now that I brought the mood down, let's thank our partners. Okay. Thanks to Brooklyn Inn. Get 15% off your first order at brooklinen.com and Skims. Shop Skims best intimates at skims.com and in stores.

• 5:57Rayna Greenberg?

  Can I just, I have to read you one thing and we can get our reports. Just speaking of like comments, did you see this yet?

• 6:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't know.

• 6:03Rayna Greenberg?

  So last week I was having a hair problem. I was like really far past when I need the extensions done. I mean, it was a, it was an actual emergency. And I knew that I looked a little busted on those clothes and I was like, maybe nobody will notice. And somebody commented, Raina needs a makeover. Her hair, something. It's not even English and I'm still insulted. But I'm also like, you're right.

• 6:24Rayna Greenberg?

  She needs to make over her hair.

• 6:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Or do you think they meant her hair?

• 6:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Her hair or something.

• 6:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Or something. They're like, I can't pinpoint it, but it's bad.

• 6:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Not good.

• 6:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  But it's the hair.

• 6:32Rayna Greenberg?

  I had like wings. Like I looked like I had wings. It was really busted up. It was really bad. And your hair looked so cute last week. And so even like just juxtaposed to you.

• 6:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I was on my last leg too. Like we went and got our hair done the same day. Like, why do you think I did that hairstyle last week? You know, and so we went to the salon the same day last week. My stylist Haley at Beaumain, Beaumain? Beaumain? I don't know. It's French. It's in Beverly Hills.

• 6:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Beaumain?

• 6:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, it's not Beaumain. Boma. She like brought me back to life and I'm feeling so good.

• 7:01Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay. Well, you look great.

• 7:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know, I'm always struggling. And oh, while we're here, I mentioned my thin hair influencer. And some of you guys have, a lot of you guys have DM'd me and commented and I've responded back because I'm not trying to gatekeep. But her name is Courtney Mathis. On TikTok, it's C O R T N I Mathis, if you guys are curious. And I just, I've never, I mean, TikTok, there's something for everybody, obviously, but she like had Telogen effluvium like I did. And it's like her whole journey. And I'm just like, ah, it just reminds you like, that's why people were so upset about losing TikTok. Cause you're able to find people and feel seen in every, whatever you could possibly have going on. So anyway, thin hair talk.

• 7:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Thin hair queen.

• 7:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 7:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 7:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. So we're going to kick this off. You want to kick it off, Randy? Cause you, you named it.

• 7:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, we have a SoundCloud report for you guys. We're kicking it off with music.

• 7:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's a SoundCloud report, which is a little bit of an insult, but or you could call it an unexpected bop report.

• 7:59Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 8:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Came out of nowhere. Jess is like, bop's a stress.

• 8:05Rayna Greenberg?

  So we have a new bachelor, Grant Ellis. He is really so, such a smoke. He's so sexy. He released a new song ahead of his premiere. The song is called Party Girl. And it's a song about a party girl and the problems that it causes her party lifestyle with her, with her significant other.

• 8:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  You think he's just foreshadowing, like, don't be partying, girls?

• 8:25Rayna Greenberg?

  I think he is. And I think one of the, is the lyrics like, it's not live, laugh, love. It's like live, party, love.

• 8:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Live drug, live, laugh drugs.

• 8:33Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, that's better. I don't think that that was one of the lyrics though.

• 8:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  If he didn't say live, laugh, drugs.

• 8:37Rayna Greenberg?

  No.

• 8:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Do you think he's the hottest bachelor we've ever had, aside from Clayton?

• 8:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Am I?

• 8:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, he also, by the way-

• 8:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  I think he's the hottest bachelor there's ever been.

• 8:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Suzie on Southern Charm this season was on Clayton's season of The Bachelor. I just put these two together and this whole scene of her like leaving. But anyways, that's like, that's neither here nor there right now.

• 8:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  I think Grant's the hottest, I think he's the hottest bachelor there's ever been. Cause he like, I like his personality, he like has swag, like he's cool.

• 9:08Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm trying to think of like, just the hottest people on The Bachelor. Mike Johnson is just our number one.

• 9:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, people, yes, was not The Bachelor, too hot to be The Bachelor, too spicy. Tyler Cameron, also not The Bachelor. Yeah, of course, Mike Johnson and Tyler Cameron. Of course, they're, but they're, they're too spicy to be The Bachelor.

• 9:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Can you imagine Tyler as The Bachelor outside? He's also like too famous for the show. He's like this one, one season candidate, that was, anyways, we'll move on. Yes, I think he is the sexiest I've seen.

• 9:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  So, okay, so Grant Ellis dropped the song "Party Girl." I want to see a twerk off on the show to the song. If, I mean, I don't know when he wrote the song, but I want to see the song on the show. We probably won't, but that's my dream. I have a question, do you think he's gonna be singing to these girls? Is he gonna be serenading them? Because for once, it could be hot.

• 9:53Rayna Greenberg?

  I, so here's the thing, not, you know, nothing gives me the act more than like guys singing in an original tune.

• 9:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but you're thinking of like, just average white dude with a guitar. Like, he could be like an R and B crooner.

• 10:05Rayna Greenberg?

  What's a crooner?

• 10:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  What's that word? Just like, a sexy singer. Like, you could call Asher a crooner. Tessa, do you know the word crooner?

• 10:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, I would say like-

• 10:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Tessa's a music girlie.

• 10:14Rayna Greenberg?

  What's a, but I don't, oh, it's a music word?

• 10:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, like, yeah, I-

• 10:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's an old timey word.

• 10:19Speaker 02

  But like, it makes sense, in the context. You could be a crooner, like, it's like, kinda smooth, soulful, like jazz, like, kinda like that.

• 10:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Got it, got it, got it, okay.

• 10:25Speaker 02

  It's like that vibe of like music. Yeah. I mean, not what "Party Girl" is, but-

• 10:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, he's not gonna be singing, like, Mashbox 20 in your face.

• 10:32Rayna Greenberg?

  It helps he's not a white guy from the Midwest, basically, yes. He, you're right, I would watch him do anything. And if they don't revolve a whole date around this, I'm gonna be pissed.

• 10:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  If they don't make those girls sing? Cause they always make him do stuff. They're gonna, they make him do like stand-up comedy, like, they're gonna have him be singing, you think?

• 10:45Speaker 02

  Have you seen, there's one that she's a piano player. There was, I don't know if you-

• 10:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  They duet?

• 10:49Speaker 02

  They haven't duetted, he didn't sing, but like, she like shows off his skills, like her skills.

• 10:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  We have a duet coming.

• 10:54Speaker 02

  She's like a very talented, like, piano player, and so I'm just like-

• 10:56Rayna Greenberg?

  What if they just do like the harmony version of the song?

• 10:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  A party girl, she does the piano version, party girl.

• 11:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Like the violin version, I am gonna die for this.

• 11:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  So, people are saying it's opportunistic.

• 11:05Rayna Greenberg?

  LOL. What, what is going on the Bachelor?

• 11:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly. You think people are still going on it for the right reasons?

• 11:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Opportunistic?

• 11:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  The show, the show has been an opportunity for what, 10 years? I mean, since the real rise of Instagram and the influencer. What percentage of these relationships work out? 10%? Like, literally, like, get your bag.

• 11:22Rayna Greenberg?

  People are on here to get their FabFitFun sponsorships and their Sugar Bear Hair Care. Yeah, I remember them. I loved FabFitFun.

• 11:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Me too. I still do. Yeah.

• 11:30Rayna Greenberg?

  I still, I, I wanted their robes and their slippers. Listen to you guys. Yeah. Get on FabFitFun.

• 11:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, the whole reason to go on this show is opportunistic. Who cares? I'm not saying that these people don't want to find love. I'm not saying that everyone is like, I'm going on this show solely to promote my career. Like, and I think real relationships come out of it. People do fall in love. Most of them don't get married. It's not that. It's just like, don't criticize someone ever for going on reality TV and saying they're opportunistic. I think they pretty much all are.

• 11:57Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, you could boil so many things down to being like, quote unquote, opportunistic. Hocking anything on Instagram, making reels, putting yourself out there, having a podcast.

• 12:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly.

• 12:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Opportunistic.

• 12:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  I guess it's just like, when people feel like someone is really being inauthentic and they're lying. And that's like, the icky part of it. But I don't think, I mean, I'm, seems like a genuine guy. Like, he'll probably be really liking these girls and might find somebody.

• 12:19Rayna Greenberg?

  Also, he just might want some like, creative outlet. So he was like, what, he was a football player and he got injured?

• 12:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's done it all.

• 12:25Rayna Greenberg?

  And now he's in finance and I think he just wants a creative outlet and so he's rapping.

• 12:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's a multi-hyphenate.

• 12:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, Tessa, you watched it?

• 12:32Speaker 02

  I did watch it. I watched it this morning. Basketball player, not football player.

• 12:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Thank you.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean, I didn't get to watch the preview for the season, so I don't know how, like, what it's gonna be. Like, how, if it's gonna be the most traumatic season ever. But, um, no, I like him. I think he's charming. And so I think it's gonna be, I like his girls. I think they all seem sweet. I can't like, tell who I think like, the villain frontrunner is gonna be. And so I think like, a pretty anticlimactic first episode. Be like, tell the frontrunners. The fashion was great. That was my favorite part. Honestly, I feel like we finally had some like, good dresses and stuff, so it was fun to watch. For that, and some of the girls like, seem like, really good, genuine, like, I don't know. Maybe it won't be super interesting because it'll actually be like, decent people, hopefully.

• 13:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  The fashion, that's an interesting call. And this is not to say that the women on The Bachelor aren't dressing well. They're just, it is what it is. I feel like the gowns and then they all look cute all the time. So I want to say that, but like, we could amp that up. Like, why aren't we getting Selling Sunset level fashion? It'd be more fun to watch because I feel like the show was not as popular. So I feel like if I caught wind that like the fashion is sick, I'd be like, oh, I could maybe watch it for fashion. Why else do we watch Selling Sunset?

• 13:41Rayna Greenberg?

  I guess because on the one hand, I'm like, well, it's expensive. Fashion girlies, but they are.

• 13:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  You could be a fashion girlie.

• 13:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Everybody's a fashion girlie today.

• 13:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Have you ever seen the pilot of Selling Sunset? No one was a fashion girlie. They're wearing like Banana Republic.

• 13:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Right.

• 13:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Pencil skirts.

• 13:54Rayna Greenberg?

  Now they're in costumes to work.

• 13:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but I'm here for the craziness.

• 13:57Rayna Greenberg?

  I feel like they pick people that want to wear like jeans and a flannel. Jeans and a nice sweater, jeans and a button down. It's not the vibe of The Bachelor. That's more the vibe of like Love Island.

• 14:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I do feel like when there's a standout fashion girlie, she's able to really hone in on that. Like, because I mean, oh, I mean, this is a perfect example. By the way, Kelly Green, go Birds, we'll talk about it. I saw this on TV, it was on All American, and Googled it, was able to find it, found it. It was Alison Olivia, but found it on Poshmark for half the price because Alison Olivia doesn't sell the green anymore. And like, I just feel like that's such a thing. This is not a hot take. But it's like, if you have the fashion going for you in The Bachelor, people are like, they want to wear that shit.

• 14:35Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I tuned in every week to see what Maria was going to walk out in. Every day she was like, let me slip into something a little more comfortable.

• 14:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Let me slip into some lingerie.

• 14:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Amazing.

• 14:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, that's a good call.

• 14:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, so also in music news, I did not, I didn't expect this. So Heidi Montag, her music is blowing up and she has released the sequel. She's released her mixtape, Superficial 2 Hollywood Edition, a long awaited sequel to her debut. So she struck while the iron was hot and people are saying that she wrote a diss track against Lauren Conrad.

• 15:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  It is. I read all the lyrics. It's called what, Forgive and Forget? Which is when Lauren Conrad said the infamous line, "I want to forgive you and I want to forget you."

• 15:19Rayna Greenberg?

  I want to forget you.

• 15:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  It had chills.

• 15:21Speaker 03

  But the only thing really that there is to do is to forgive and forget. So I really do, I want to forgive you.

• 15:31Speaker 03

  And I want to forget you.

• 15:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, it's, it says like, he didn't break my heart, you did. It mentions mascara tears. So if you guys don't know, on The Hills, there was a scene where Lauren was actually not talking to Heidi, she was talking to Adrena. And the single black tear, the most famous tear in history, rolled down her cheek. Raina, did you see Spencer?

• 15:52Rayna Greenberg?

  What?

• 15:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Promoting this song? You're not, you're not ready. You're not ready. We'll put this on YouTube. Raina, you're not ready for Spencer promoting this song. Okay.

• 16:02Rayna Greenberg?

  No, he has black tears all over his face.

• 16:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  His level of petty is diabolical.

• 16:17Rayna Greenberg?

  I was thinking about this because I was like, who is still mad about something that happened 20 years ago? It couldn't be me, and I'm so glad it's them. I love somebody that takes like, just a beef from decades ago. And it's like, I'm still gonna write music about this. Her husband is running down the beach with black mascara all over his face.

• 16:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  No.

• 16:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Like, they are just, you know what I like about them, what everybody likes about them, is that they have never hid who they are. They were like, this was fake, we were fucking fake, every storyline was fake.

• 16:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  Except that our love is real.

• 16:48Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes. They, they called, they said, we've always called the paparazzi, we give them stories. Like, they're as honest as anybody ever has been.

• 16:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  I, I agree with you. It is funny, a diss track 20 years later. It's high level petty.

• 17:01Rayna Greenberg?

  But they just know how to capitalize. Because like, even I, when her song started like, blowing up, I was like, who's promoting this? And you saw Brody Jenner and Kristin Cavallari, and Lauren Conrad did not promote it. And I said to you, like, I gotta go to Lauren Conrad's comments and see what people are saying. Because she didn't promote Heidi's song. And most people were kind of sticking up for her, saying like, she doesn't need to, these people are not part of her life, you know?

• 17:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, we're not picking a side. Leave Lauren alone. You know what I mean? Like, these, they were so young, like, again, it was, what was real and what wasn't. No, that's not that. I'm not, I'm not, don't come at me, pick Heidi or Lauren. I will not, I refuse. But I'll do it, which is very funny. I looked at this last night. So I'll do it is the most Popular song, obviously, the one that everybody was using for reels and TikToks and stuff like that. And it's very funny to look at her discography because so like her songs have like one or two million streams. A few of them have one or two million streams, whatever. Most of them are like 300K. You know, it's what it is. 200, 300, 500, 500K.

• 17:56Rayna Greenberg?

  It's more than your average person.

• 17:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'll Do It is 72 million.

• 17:59Rayna Greenberg?

  Holy shit.

• 18:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  So it's just, it's funny outlier. And then did you know Pitbull remixed it?

• 18:03Rayna Greenberg?

  No.

• 18:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my God. I was on Heidi and Spencer's TikTok last night. So there, they did this party of some sort, some DJ was playing it. So Pitbull did this I'll Do It remix. He has a whole verse. He hypes it. It's fire.

• 18:14Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm obsessed with Pitbull. I have been obsessed with Pitbull and Daddy Yankee since before it was cool.

• 18:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  An OG.

• 18:19Rayna Greenberg?

  That's amazing. I love to see it. You know what? And I love that they're just like, we'll do anything for fame and attention.

• 18:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  And I'll do it. Is that what I'll do it's about?

• 18:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Try me. I'll do it.

• 18:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Anything for fame. I'll do it.

• 18:31Rayna Greenberg?

  I love to see it.

• 18:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so that is our SoundCloud report. Thank you, Raina, for titling it. Really quick, the Eagles are going to the Super Bowl. Oh, my God.

• 18:40Rayna Greenberg?

  That win was so fun.

• 18:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  That win was unbelievable. And I went in 2023, the first time they played. I went when they played the Chiefs and they lost and I.

• 18:48Rayna Greenberg?

  To the Super Bowl.

• 18:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  To the Super Bowl. Yes, I brought my brother and I said, I'm never doing this again. It gutted me emotionally, financially. I was like, I truly believe they're winning this. I, I, I know for certain they are unstoppable. Saquon Barkley is a gift from God. He is an absolute machine. Nobody's hurt. We have Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown and Devontae Smith. And we're like, we got this. We got this. Like, I was pulling for the Bills, to be honest. I think they're an underdog, but I'm ready for this revenge arc. And it's happening. I, I know it is.

• 19:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 19:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I still would not go. I, I won't.

• 19:25Rayna Greenberg?

  I am trying to get you to go.

• 19:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm not going and like, not that it's so easy.

• 19:29Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm not leaving.

• 19:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I said this before, you guys, I said it like, if you could, if you could actually guarantee me if, you know, Vegas called me and they were like, listen, we know.

• 19:37Rayna Greenberg?

  If Vegas called you.

• 19:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Vegas called and they were like, they're gonna win. It's all rigged and they're gonna win. I'd be like, all right, I'll consider it, but like. I think the Super Bowl was so fun. I think I had the best time of my life until like it all came crashing down and I will go again when it's not my team and have fun and party and like enjoy the game without that type of pressure and without that type of heartbreak.

• 19:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, last year I said I refuse to not go to the Super Bowl again. By the way, I don't care if I go to the act- I don't care if I go to the game. Like you can just go to fun parties. I like the environment. I actually going to the actual game is the last thing I care about unless the Steelers are playing.

• 20:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 20:07Rayna Greenberg?

  But last year I was like, I will not not go. And then this year I have planned a Super Bowl party and every single person that I invited said yes.

• 20:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 20:14Rayna Greenberg?

  And I have really white couches and I'm really stressed out about it. And one of our girlfriends, Jackie, was like, I can't, I can't come to your party. I'm actually going to the Super Bowl. And I was like, if you give me a ticket, I'll cancel this party.

• 20:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, like, you know, I'm talking a big game, but like, if, you know, it got offered to me and it was like, not so exorbitantly expensive, like, I might consider it, but I'm like, I still don't know if I, if I can, I'm too fragile. Like, my whole emotional well-being since 2025 started and even before has been riding on this team. Like, I'm watching these games, like, I shouldn't feel like this. I shouldn't be this unstable where the win, like, the game a couple of weeks ago when they played in the snow, I was crying. I was on the FaceTime with my, with sparkle eyes and he was like, I've never dated a girl that cried at football. And I was like, okay, listen, that's not, I don't want that to be my narrative.

• 21:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Like Pittsburgh is like that too. Like, my entire emotional well-being in college was like anchored to like Ben Roethlisberger and how the Steelers were gonna do. Like, I think that this, these cities are like that.

• 21:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Different vibes.

• 21:09Rayna Greenberg?

  Before we know.

• 21:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  This Eagles team, I feel bad if you're not an Eagles fan. Like, they're just so special.

• 21:15Rayna Greenberg?

  They're fun to, they're fun to reform.

• 21:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like this Saquon Barkley, I mean, he might break rushing yards of all-time record if he gets, I think it's like 120, I'm not certain, in the Super Bowl. Like, he could break the all-time record. He's unbelievable. We'll talk about it next week, it'll be our official Super Bowl.

• 21:30Rayna Greenberg?

  And I'm also working on a Super Bowl commentator for the show and I just got her contact info. So.

• 21:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Maybe.

• 21:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Go Birds!

• 21:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Manifest it.

• 21:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Go Birds! We'll manifest like a fun interview for the snack coming up.

• 21:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, Raina, hit us with that PETA report.

• 21:44Rayna Greenberg?

  This was surprising to me. So, PETA suggests replacing Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day with a weather reveal cake. And-

• 21:54Rayna Greenberg?

  You know, with so much going on in the world, so much terrible stuff going on in the world, this is where people put their energy.

• 22:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  And not, not people, PETA specifically, they go so hard. Not that people don't work for PETA, but PETA is gonna go hard.

• 22:09Rayna Greenberg?

  And PETA, I did not know this, has actually been pitching alternatives to Punksatani Pill for years. I said Punksatani Pill.

• 22:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  So if you guys aren't familiar, Punksatani Phil.

• 22:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Punksatani, if you want to know who that is, Punksatani Phil is the groundhog who predicts whether winter will last another six weeks or not. And I didn't know this, but he lives off-site with his family and they...

• 22:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so, no, Rayna, because at first I was like, they're trying to take his job away. Like, they're, let this, this is his job. Punksatani Phil is feeding his family, living off-site, and PETA is like, we want him to be unemployed. They, they want him to retire, they said. They want him and his family to retire to a reputable sanctuary instead of taking part in the annual tradition. I guess they bring him there every year. Okay, so immediately I was like, I hate this. Stop trying to take his job away. He like, I think he knows how important he is and they're just gonna rip him of that. But their thing, which, listen, I am an animal lover, always want animals to feel safe and comfortable. I mean, they say that that's, it's against their natural instincts and

• 23:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  that they're shy animals, which I know they are shy. It says, "Year after year, Phil is transported to Gobbler's Knob, whisked..."

• 23:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Gobbler's Knob!

• 23:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  That is so...

• 23:28Rayna Greenberg?

  That is like the most porn star name. That is like a whole movie about sucking a dick.

• 23:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, that's a, that's a porn. "Whisked onstage and subjected to a noisy announcer, screaming crowds, and flashing lights against all his natural instincts. If he was approached in his natural habitat, he would run away in fear. He would not volunteer to live year round in captivity, unable to do anything." I don't know that he's in captivity. Again, I don't want to misspeak.

• 23:48Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, I assume he is in captivity because how would they get him every year?

• 23:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  You're right.

• 23:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Otherwise he would just run away.

• 23:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  He does have to, okay, but you're gonna die at the last end. "To live in year-round captivity, unable to do anything that's natural and important to him, like hibernate or burrow, just to be a town's once-a-year fake meteorologist."

• 24:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Not the fake meteorologist. Okay, but like, how many meteorologists that do this full-time and get paid are even good at their jobs? Fake meteorologists.

• 24:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so I have, I think a cake is a crazy alternative, but I have a plan.

• 24:19Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 24:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  We need to replace animal with one who isn't shy. Let a fucking squirrel do this shit. Squirrels have no shame. The squirrels in my back patio are fucking on my table.

• 24:28Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm terrified of them.

• 24:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Swimming in my water feature. They're terrorizing Azul every chance they get. Like, just give the job to a squirrel.

• 24:35Rayna Greenberg?

  The squirrels on the west side of LA are terrifying.

• 24:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Deranged.

• 24:39Rayna Greenberg?

  They're, they are on my table like, fight me bitch.

• 24:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, it's like, still call it Groundhog Day. Who actually cares? Like, have a squirrel do this shit, any squirrel. They don't have to, you don't have to keep them in captivity. Like, let a squirrel, they would love to do it.

• 24:53Rayna Greenberg?

  Just get one from Venice, California. They're in my backyard. They're acting crazy.

• 24:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Anytime.

• 24:58Rayna Greenberg?

  No, literally, they're always in my backyard eating oranges. I think my neighbor leaves orange peels out. Every day, there's an orange peel on my side of the fence.

• 25:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's crazy. That's your favorite food?

• 25:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm gonna knock next door and be like, hi, can you please stop leaving orange peels?

• 25:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Cause the squirrels.

• 25:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, I have to clean them up every single day.

• 25:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'll put this on YouTube, but like, remember that day I looked out? These squirrels were fucking.

• 25:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  They were, he, doggy style. One squirrel like, was fucking the other squirrel from the back.

• 25:25Rayna Greenberg?

  You have some crazy animals.

• 25:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Standing.

• 25:28Rayna Greenberg?

  They fuck missionary? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just saying, like, let them do this. Squirrels are terrifying. Also, I, semantics wise, I had no, I guess I never thought about it that deeply. I didn't know that like, Punxsutawney and his family were like, kept in captivity and bust in every year. Like, I thought it was, I don't, it was a different, a different gerbil thing, um, groundhog every year.

• 25:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't love it either. I know there's obviously like, I don't need to go down this road, but I know there's like ethical, like sanctuaries and stuff like that. And like, I, I, I just, you know, I'm not a, I think zoos are, can be really cruel. There's a very, like, wide spectrum of zoos.

• 26:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Uh huh.

• 26:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  And ones that are more ethical. But yeah, like, I don't, obviously like, animals like, living against their own, like, natural.

• 26:08Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 26:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  Habitat, natural instincts. So, I mean, but yeah, it's just like, it's, you say like, there's so many other problems in the world, but like, to PETA, this is the top.

• 26:15Rayna Greenberg?

  That's true. I think we should keep working on SeaWorld.

• 26:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  PETA.

• 26:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, Blackfish lives in my heart. Every, that was the first documentary I ever remember watching, and it changed me forever.

• 26:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 26:25Rayna Greenberg?

  You guys are looking for a terrifying documentary, Blackfish. Okay, well, I'm, listen, I, good for PETA, for keeping on, keeping on.

• 26:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  The cake was amiss.

• 26:33Rayna Greenberg?

  That was stupid.

• 26:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  They said something about a coin toss one time.

• 26:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh yeah, I saw the coin toss.

• 26:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I just, again, like, I think if they're listening, pick a non-shy animal.

• 26:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, that no one cares about.

• 26:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Dewey would have done this.

• 26:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Not as old, but Dewey would have.

• 26:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Dewey, you guys, used to, Dewey walked down the stage at the Beacon?

• 26:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes.

• 26:52Rayna Greenberg?

  In front of 3,000 people, just chilling.

• 26:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Was he at the Beacon?

• 26:56Rayna Greenberg?

  He was at Town Hall.

• 26:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  He passed before the Beacon. Azul came to the Beacon, and he did not like it, and Peta wouldn't have liked it either.

• 27:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Did somebody carry him out?

• 27:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  My brother walked him out, and he just, he didn't like it, and we will never probably do it again unless I felt like there was a scenario where he was gonna feel safe. So, no, but Dewey would saunter out.

• 27:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Saunter.

• 27:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, sold out show at Town Hall, he was unbothered, he would go up to the front of the stage, everyone would pet him, like, literally, he would walk out, and what? 1,500, 2,000 people would scream, and he was unfazed, he loved, he lived for it, he was a star.

• 27:27Rayna Greenberg?

  That was crazy.

• 27:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Anyways, alright, let's take a quick break, and then we will pick it back up.

• 27:32Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, I'm telling you guys about Brooklyn Inn, I just moved into a new house, as you know, I'm decorating each room, and I'm just trying to like, decide what my vibe is, and so I decided to redecorate my bedroom, and one of the things I'm doing to just add some pops of color, and a little bit more personality, is the bedding. So, I got a bunch of stuff from Brooklyn Inn, and I just love the way it makes my bed look, it has upgraded my whole space, it just looks really like, beautiful, chic, and lifestyle. So I'll tell you what I got, I got the Luxe satin core sheet set, I just find them to be so soft and beautiful, they just feel so nice, and I like to sleep naked, and I only want sheets to feel great on my body, and I picked a couple different colors, so I'm pivoting from white, I got Pebble. And they have some really nice green shades, I like this fresh moss.

• 28:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  The green is so pretty.

• 28:15Rayna Greenberg?

  And, I mean, of course, they have all the different blues, they have patterns, but it feels really great on your body, I also got a linen duvet cover. And then, they really make it easy to layer as well, so there's tons of blankets, you make your space look really interesting, inviting, warm, beautiful, different, one of a kind.

• 28:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I love both of the sheets, I have the classic percale hardcore sheet bundle in Pebble, like Raina mentioned, and then I just ordered that luxe satin hardcore sheet bundle in cream. So I'm veering away from white too, I still have white sheets and everything, but like, I just, my bedroom has those like, warm colors. Even like the color of the paint on the wall, just kind of like creamy and beiges and they're the best sheets.

• 28:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I love the way they feel.

• 28:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  They're not baggy, you know, I hit a baggy sheet.

• 28:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, yes. So we love it. There's great bundles, there's great blankets, there's duvet covers, there's duvets if you'd like. There's tons in there just to make your sleep even better.

  And if you guys are thinking, wow, Raina's boobs look so perky and wonderful. I'm wearing my Skims bra that I wear most days. I love their underwear and their bras. There's so much to choose from. So my favorite collection is the Fits Everybody collection. I wear their boy shorts around my house. The t-shirt bra is what I have on right now. And it's great underwire. I've always liked to wear underwire bras. I mean, I used to have even bigger boobs, but I like to sleep with a bra as well. And so I like something that's going to be comfy all night long as well. So I wear it all day and all night. And there's tons of colors. Really have focused on having every shade and size. And I really don't rush to take my bra off anymore when I get home.

• 31:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, okay, we have not talked about Luigi in a minute. And I was thinking, I know, I was thinking the other day, like, I haven't even masturbated to him in so long. Like, it's been such a stressful month.

• 31:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Have you masturbated to him?

• 31:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Are we not all? Is everybody not?

• 31:41Rayna Greenberg?

  I thought we agreed that we were all masturbating to him. I mean, I feel that he united the nation, everybody from all sides. And I miss it, dare I say, hero.

• 31:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my God. Also, babe, if you're listening, I'm not masturbating to Luigi.

• 31:53Rayna Greenberg?

  Also, I don't think you're a hero for killing people. Leave me alone.

• 31:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  The disclaimers are so different. Yeah, so this is just a funny little thing we want to talk about because, again, it's just, we haven't talked about Luigi in a minute. And it is that Dave Franco says everyone has been texting him about Luigi Mangione comparisons.

• 32:12Rayna Greenberg?

  So he looks, I mean, he's 20 years older, but he's a dead ringer.

• 32:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  He is?

• 32:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, he's 46.

• 32:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh.

• 32:20Rayna Greenberg?

  He's married to Alison Brie, who I am crazy about, loved her on Mad Men. She's on Community. I just, I think she's phenomenal.

• 32:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, Rayna, we just watched How to be Single.

• 32:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, and she's also in How to be Single.

• 32:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Which I thought you watched. That was news to me.

• 32:34Rayna Greenberg?

  I was honest.

• 32:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Because I've been hyping this movie. That's kind of a deep cut. I mean, maybe, I don't know. A lot of people don't know about it. It was never like the biggest blockbuster. I think it's a perfect movie. And I love her character in the movie. Anyway, but we watched that when we were living together in San Diego. He does not, he could play him easily. He does not look.

• 32:53Rayna Greenberg?

  He wasn't giving me 46. I read this in this article.

• 32:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  They look the same, is what I'm saying.

• 32:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally the same, same exact age. That guy looks like a little baby face. I don't believe that he is 46. Is there a typo?

• 33:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's not that old.

• 33:04Rayna Greenberg?

  But he's not 26, is what I'm saying.

• 33:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, he just said, anyone who has my number has reached out. And like, I feel like at first, that's really flattering. But after what, like, the 20th text, you're like, guys, stop, I get it. Like if everybody was telling you that you should play America's heartthrob, like at what text are you like, this has to stop? Like I would change my number.

• 33:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, not me. I'm calling my agent. Like, let's get it poppin'.

• 33:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, he's 39, Tessa said.

• 33:31Rayna Greenberg?

  I still would be going after my agent.

• 33:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's a Gemini.

• 33:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Little Gemini, little Gemini brother.

• 33:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I was thinking, is there anyone else? And he's the one. I, that I can't think of, like, if they did a Luigi Mangione, you know, casted, whatever, show, movie, and like, didn't cast Dave Franco, people would riot.

• 33:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Who else would do it?

• 33:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 33:53Rayna Greenberg?

  I miss the look-alike contest. I feel like they have slowed down in the last couple of weeks. And I also think that America needs that.

• 33:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my God, you're so right.

• 34:00Rayna Greenberg?

  I think about you saying that we need a Mitch McConnell look-alike contest continuously.

• 34:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Mitch McConnell voted against Pete Hegseth, but he can still suck my dick.

• 34:12Rayna Greenberg?

  I would still go to that look-alike contest.

• 34:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  I've agreed with him one time. A broken clock is right twice a day, but he's done so much other damage for this country, but you know.

• 34:19Rayna Greenberg?

  He's barely alive anymore, so he doesn't know what he's doing.

• 34:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 34:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Anyways, I love Alison Bray. I support anything she does. And of course, she's married to this guy.

• 34:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just think it's funny that she's being like, guys, please stop texting my husband. Like, we get it. He has to, like, make a statement, like, to his close friends. Stop texting me?

• 34:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Please leave me alone.

• 34:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 34:35Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, if you're gonna look like somebody, it's never anybody you want. And like, this is the one time.

• 34:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, I feel like the, one of the main things is like his bold brows. And I feel, you know, like my fiance is those bold brows. Like, if Sparkle Eyes did that, like, did the crime, he also would have had to shave his eyebrows off. Like, did you see the Dave Chappelle monologue?

• 34:58Rayna Greenberg?

  No.

• 34:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, oh, I loved every second of it. Dave Chappelle's SNL monologue from a couple of weeks ago, just covered the fires. It just, he did, he had a great message. It was just great. I mean, I think, I love Dave Chappelle. And, but he said, like, how did he not shave those eyebrows off? They're so distinct.

• 35:14Rayna Greenberg?

  I just think he was like, no one's gonna catch me. Who's gonna turn me in? He really didn't do that much. We need him more than ever.

• 35:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. Um, what next is this trend? We need him more than ever.

• 35:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, okay.

• 35:33Rayna Greenberg?

  That's what I'm laughing.

• 35:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, anyways, okay.

• 35:35Rayna Greenberg?

  So this trend on TikTok, it actually, I feel like I'm usually smart at this, but this took me a minute.

• 35:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, okay.

• 35:41Rayna Greenberg?

  The you're so funny trend. And if you've seen these TikToks, it's, it's essentially people saying like, the people tell them they're so funny. And then they reveal their trauma and like, why they turned out to be funny. It took me a second.

• 35:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  So like, an example is, you're so funny, thanks. We don't say I love you in my family. You're so funny, thanks. I don't have a relationship with my dad. You're so funny, thanks. I have no childhood memories and get scared when men get angry. And they're not all dark, but I mean, it is kind of like, we've always said this, like you develop a sense of humor.

• 36:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 36:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Based on something. It's that, you know, people whose lives are perfect and you go through life, like attractive and popular and good at sports and all the things forever. Like, I don't think you're gonna be that funny.

• 36:20Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't think we can date.

• 36:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 36:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Your life is too good.

• 36:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 36:22Rayna Greenberg?

  I am funny because I got.

• 36:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Do the trend up, do it, do the trend.

• 36:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 36:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 36:27Rayna Greenberg?

  You're so funny, thanks. You have to do it. You're so funny, thanks. Um, I didn't get pretty until I was 35 and. I bought myself a new face. Also, I never heard anything nice about myself in my household ever.

• 36:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh.

• 36:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Growing up. Well, for my dad, I did.

• 36:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 36:41Rayna Greenberg?

  That's dark. Not a lot of hugs in my home.

• 36:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's kind of funny because I feel like the dads are kind of the ones, I've seen more about dads and your dad really did love you.

• 36:49Rayna Greenberg?

  He really does love me, yes. He tells me all the time.

• 36:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  It'd be funny, the opposite. Someone's like, you're not funny. And you're like, thanks, my dad loved me.

• 36:57Rayna Greenberg?

  I do think about that sometimes though, like I could have been funnier.

• 37:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ew, you're not even funny. Sorry, my parents are so.

• 37:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Too stable.

• 37:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, I have a few. You're so funny, thanks. I was taller than all the boys my entire childhood and wore a size 10 shoe in sixth grade.

• 37:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Being taller than all the boys until like I was 16, like that's gonna.

• 37:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally.

• 37:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Thanks, my parents forced me to play basketball and I was a junior on JV. And thanks, my brother was the cute one, so I spent every day of my childhood making sure I outshined him. And I think that's the truest one.

• 37:26Rayna Greenberg?

  That's relatable.

• 37:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, since Matt was born, when I was four years old, I was like, fuck this.

• 37:30Rayna Greenberg?

  No, that's really relatable.

• 37:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  If people thought Matt did something funny. I would go to my room and be like, what can I do funnier?

• 37:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Wait, really?

• 37:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  I hate, cause he was like cuter and people thought he was like so funny and I was like, he's not funny.

• 37:42Rayna Greenberg?

  He is so funny.

• 37:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's so funny now.

• 37:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Really?

• 37:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  He was actually the funniest person.

• 37:46Rayna Greenberg?

  It's really, it's like, I'm jealous. Like when I'm in like a group chat with him, I'm like, God, everything I say, I'm like, got him. And then he just comes back with something funnier. And I'm like, God damn it.

• 37:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's really quick. He's really smart.

• 37:57Rayna Greenberg?

  So annoying.

• 37:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  He just was like always cute and good at sports and you know, I was also like the, the smart one with all the grades. And it just, it wasn't really that. Like we had our different strengths and you know, whatever. We're also like different gender. But I just was like very jealous when he came along and I just feel like it made me go really hard on like entertaining my family.

• 38:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I feel like you went in a different direction. Like you went in the competitive direction. You're like, uh-uh. Like, look who's gonna be great. And I just think I just kinda abdicated. Like my brother was so great. And I was just like, I don't care about this kid. I'm gonna fuck all you guys. I'm just gonna like go let other people think I'm great.

• 38:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 38:33Rayna Greenberg?

  That is what I did.

• 38:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 38:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Fuck this whole audience. Yeah, fuck this whole family.

• 38:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  You're so funny. Thanks. Fuck my family. Thanks, my family did nothing to contribute. But no, it is so funny because you and I really talk about how funny our brothers are. They are really funny. I mean, I think like, I mean, you know, we're funny. We do comedy. You can disagree if you like, but I think sense of humor and comedy and people who wanna get into comedy and be funny. Like a lot of it does come from like deep, dark trauma, but if not, and both can exist, like you're kind of a funny family. Like Nikki, Nikki Glaser, for example, like I love watching her with her parents. They're both funny. I don't know anything about her sister really, but like you see that sometimes. Like I know where I got my sense of humor. Like my mom, like such an amazing storyteller. My dad has like the dirty jokes and like a dark sense of humor.

• 39:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like I actually am the mix of them with the chip on my shoulder for my brother that really completed the personality.

• 39:23Rayna Greenberg?

  You guys really, you're all funny. It's a competition to like see who can be funnier. Like there's a high level of intelligence in comedy. You know, and I felt like that in my dad's side of the family too. Like when I'm on a group chat with like John and Sherri, Uncle John and Aunt Sherri, Uncle John.

• 39:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Uncle John, yeah.

• 39:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Like they're so quick. My brother is like high level, so smart. Everything he says, I'm like so jealous.

• 39:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  The men in my family, the men and the boys like really picked on me and I think it really made me strong and like who I am too. Like I really was sensitive and really hated it when I was a kid. Like my cousin Scott, obviously my little brother, like my dad, my uncles, like everybody kind of picked me in good fun, but I just really think I, I'm glad that happened. And when I was younger, I just was like a sensitive little bitch and then it just like toughened me up and I was like, look at me now. Roast all of you.

• 40:09Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I just, I got so much attention for how big my boobs were. I don't think people were like paying attention to like, if I was like smart or funny or interesting or anything. It's just I got so much attention for that and I was like dying to not have attention for that. And I was like, I'll be the funny one that says crazy stuff.

• 40:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  You look up here.

• 40:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 40:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  The version.

• 40:28Rayna Greenberg?

  And now I'm like, no, look down here. I'm like, I want my boobs to stand out more.

• 40:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Can I tell you guys what happened the other day? We were, we were at dinner and Raina starts talking about chia seeds to make your boobs bigger. And I go, I, I think to myself, oh, she's telling me how to make my boobs bigger. And I'm like, oh, that's nice. Like I didn't ask, but I appreciate it. You know, and I was like, I hear, we were talking also with Rob and she was like, if you eat chia seeds every day, your boobs look a bigger. I'm like, oh, thanks so much. Obviously I have small boobs. I'd love them bigger. And you go, no, I'm talking about for me.

• 40:56Rayna Greenberg?

  I would never make a, I'm gonna make comments about your body. That's crazy.

• 40:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, I would like some, I would like them to be a little bigger.

• 41:01Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm not, okay, but that's up to you to start that conversation. If you ever said to me, hey, Raina, have you seen any tech talks recently? Or former models, Victoria's Secret are talking about how they used to make their boobs bigger. I'd say, oh my God, I do have somebody for you. Eat chia seeds. But I wouldn't be like, you know what, Ashley? I was thinking that your breasts could be a little bit bigger.

• 41:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but they could. And so Raina's saying this stuff and it took me, I, I couldn't even register that she was talking about herself. I like had a stroke. I'm like, what are you, for you? Three breast reduction bitch?

• 41:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  What, I was like very confused.

• 41:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, I've just lost some weight recently and I feel that they're not as, thank you. They're not as enormous as they used to be. And I have worked really hard. I've had three breast reductions in three years. If you guys are newer here, um, I had two breast reductions and an augmentation. And now I'm just thinking they're a little small for me. I know they fit my body and they're good, but I was like, maybe I could go up like a size. A size.

• 41:55Rayna Greenberg?

  So, um, yeah, check out Chia Seeds.

• 41:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I, yeah, I don't think this has been like, this has been proven.

• 42:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, no, this is one TikTok I saw.

• 42:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is not, I'm not a doctor, it's not medical advice, like. I looked it up and yeah, some people, I mean, okay, but that being said, there are just a lot of what you eat, like your general diet and how it makes your body look, you know, in general.

• 42:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, we've talked about how like I was, I mean, I was so skinny in college. I weighed, I'm five feet tall. I probably weighed like 110 pounds in college, 108 pounds and my face was so fat. Cause I was so bloated all the time because of my diet.

• 42:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right.

• 42:31Rayna Greenberg?

  But I was so tiny.

• 42:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. Okay. Listen, we gotta wrap it up with Justin Blake.

• 42:35Rayna Greenberg?

  My god, this is my whole personality.

• 42:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 42:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Ashley will like check in with me or Tessa, like honestly, every couple of hours with like a new thing. And I, I will not get bored of it.

• 42:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  No.

• 42:47Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't, I pulled my car over the other day to watch the 10 minute video that he released.

• 42:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  Him, Justin.

• 42:53Rayna Greenberg?

  So he released the behind the scenes videos.

• 42:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, if you guys are keeping up, then you know, if you know, you know, basically like we can't go through it all now. You know, if you really aren't invested in this at all, like maybe you just want to skip to the end. This is the last thing we're gonna do. So like, but if it's just, it's never ending and his lawsuit, I don't know, 180 page lawsuit, whatever it was, like all of their text messages have been released and, and the actual video footage. And you read the communication between her and Justin and it's like, you see this flirty side of it. And it seems like Ryan Reynolds got involved here. I think a lot of people's hypothesis is how he like has kind of been pulling the strings behind this.

• 43:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I go back and forth on this. I mean, I will say I was horrified by the stuff I read in her suit. But then you see the counter evidence and there's, there's just no real evidence of it. And I'm like, If it's not true, that's sick, you know?

• 43:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Uh huh.

• 43:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  And that obviously takes away from real victims of these things. And, you know, again, like, we only know what we know, but the suits are out there with a lot, a lot of like documentation.

• 44:06Rayna Greenberg?

  And like, if she said, I felt sexually uncomfortable, I felt harassed, who's to say that she didn't? And you can release all the evidence in the world and remove some context and it will make her look a certain way. Like, we're not past, we don't know, we weren't there. But there has been voice notes, voice memos now have been released and videos and texts. So this is two o'clock in the morning. Justin Baldoni leaves her a voice note and it's, he doesn't sound drunk. It just sounds like late, he's tired and he's basically, I'll just plug it here.

• 44:37Speaker 04

  Hey Blake, it is two in the morning. Hopefully this does not wake you up.

• 44:47Speaker 04

  Wow, there's so much I want to say to you. I want to start with an apology. Man, for sure fell short and you worked really hard on that. I feel really grateful that you feel safe enough to tell me that that's how you feel and share that with me. And I, I'm really sorry and I'm excited to go through the whole movie with you. I'm just excited to spend time with you. I'm excited to, to be in your sphere and your presence. And all that to say, I'm just really looking forward to spending time together. I am so sorry you have been through what you've been through with these other filmmakers, producers, or whoever the people were that you worked with. It just pissed me off.

• 45:31Speaker 04

  Hey, I'm gonna stop rambling because Jesus.

• 45:33Rayna Greenberg?

  It goes on like this because it's.

• 45:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  What is it, what is it regarding?

• 45:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, he is basically saying, I'm sorry that you've had bad experiences on other, other sets that you've had. And it's interesting because I find it highly inappropriate that a man would be sending a voice note to a married woman, a mother at two o'clock in the morning at this tone. Like, you could have done it during the day. It sounds really sexy, but he's releasing this as heated. It's further evidence that like they had

• 46:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  They had a good rapport.

• 46:02Rayna Greenberg?

  They had a good rapport that she shared with him. I had bad experiences on other sets and he's like, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Thank you for telling me how you feel.

• 46:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, if you read all the texts, which it'll take you forever. I mean, I haven't read them all. I haven't, I haven't claimed to. I've read a decent amount of them. Like they had an intimate rapport. She sends him page long text messages too. You know, and like there's also this part where, I mean, again, she, she just kept throughout pushing and pushing and wanting to get like more power that she wasn't granted initially. Just like, can I rewrite the scene? Can I see the dailies? And then Ryan came and he starts needing to see the dailies, which is just like the footage from that day. And I mean, I can't, I can't forget that like Justin Baldoni hired that PR company, you know, to, to do the smear campaign. We can't forget about that. I want to remember that. Yeah, I still think, you know, he's a bit of a fraud. I mean, again, we, we heard from someone who recorded with him. He was terrible.

• 46:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I, it's just, I think I stand on what I said. Like, I don't think you'd probably like either of them. But like, this is, this is pretty brutal for, for her in, in terms of public perception. I mean, again, we're just like, I'm trying to tread lightly and just kind of give the facts. And I guess you guys can kind of pick up on how you think I currently feel, which is actually nobody's side. But if it does come out that like all this stuff was lies, like, come on, that's, that's really, it's bad for women. And I mean, this is just looking really bad for her and, and Ryan.

• 47:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I mean, I, I think you and I hold space for any possibility, right? Like I, I think that there are certainly ways that you can release tons of video and text and photo evidence that is put into a certain context that removes the actuality of really what was happening. And she could very well say, I don't care what he said in this voice note. It's really inappropriate to send me this at two in the morning and I did feel harassed and I don't like this. And he's saying, well, this is proof that I'm on her side. And she could be like, I don't want, I don't, I'm a mother. I don't want this.

• 47:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  But it's like, did all that other stuff happen? I don't know. Cause it's like here, we're kind of, we kind of prove it didn't. And, and then is she going to come back and be like, no, it did. And here's my proof. I mean, I don't know.

• 48:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, the court date is set to March 2026. So we have an entire year.

• 48:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Are they going to actually?

• 48:08Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, they're gonna go, that's the court case.

• 48:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, okay, so one funny thing that I had found that Raina really liked, and we'll just kind of wrap up with this, is obviously there are so many different layers to this, but a lot of people didn't know that that this happened, and we just like think it's funny niche drama. So the headline is Justin Baldoni demands Disney, Marvel, preserve all documents relating to Ryan Reynolds' Nice Pool in Deadpool and Wolverine amid Blake Lively legal battle. Okay, so basically what that means is that in the movie Deadpool and Wolverine, obviously the biggest blockbuster of the year, last year, the summer, whatever, Justin Baldoni is claiming that they created a character called Nice Pool to mock him. So if you guys have seen it, I haven't seen it, but Ryan Reynolds plays Nice Pool. I mean, I asked my fiance, and he was like, basically, Ryan Reynolds, I don't want to misspeak. He goes through different like universes, and there's different characters.

• 48:56Rayna Greenberg?

  I wouldn't know.

• 48:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  So he plays Nice Pool. Justin Baldoni's attorney believes Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, was flagrantly mocking Baldoni. The sequence features Reynolds playing Nice Pool, an oafish alternative version of the eponymous hero Deadpool, saying such lines as, "Where in God's name is the intimacy coordinator?" And complimenting Lady Pool, which was Blake Lively, right? For snapping back into shape after giving birth. There are some other things to, oh, it says, "When Deadpool points out Nice Pool's misogyny in the scene, Nice Pool replies, 'It's okay, I identify as a feminist.'"

• 49:30Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, this is so crazy.

• 49:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, and then the other thing I thought was so crazy, this is a very like Taylor Swift style like Easter egg. In the end credits of Deadpool and Wolverine, the actor who plays Nice Pool, who is Ryan Reynolds, okay, remember, we keep it up, he plays everybody, he is listed as Gordon Reynolds.

• 49:50Rayna Greenberg?

  So it says Nice Pool played by Gordon Reynolds.

• 49:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  By Gordon Reynolds, instead of Ryan Reynolds. "In a strange twist, Lively thanked Gordon Reynolds in the end credits of It Ends With Us." Drawing a seaming line to an ice pool. Yeah, hello.

• 50:06Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, this is so wild to me. Like this, like, it's not a conspiracy theory. I mean, they did it. And also, by the way, if I'm, if your wife was honestly being sexually harassed by somebody, she felt threatened, she felt uncomfortable. Are you writing jokes, like the intimacy coordinator? Into your film? Like, is this how you like hit back at him? Like, it feels a little lighthearted.

• 50:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, people, I think a large population of the internet think they just had a thing going on. Because I guess Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively met on a set and wasn't he with Scarlett Johansson? All the comments are always like, somewhere Scarlett Johansson is just like thriving.

• 50:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, people are saying that also Blake Lively got in a relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio on a set of a film. People are like, she has a pattern of dating her co-stars. So does everybody that's been acting. I mean, she's not like a her thing. I mean, if I was opposite any of these people, I would also be fucking them.

• 51:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 51:04Rayna Greenberg?

  But I, I don't know.

• 51:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I was really on her side and you know, I, when the lawsuit came out, I was like, this is like pretty horrific and like, she's not the, she's not a perfect victim, you know, like she, people think she's mean and this and that. But it's like, you don't have to be a perfect victim to be right, you know, and to be harassed or be whatever it is. And so, but now I'm like, man, this is, this is really crazy and um, I think it's ever changing. And you're welcome to always change your mind about how you, you get new information, you change your position. So, I mean, listen.

• 51:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Keep it going, guys. Keep it coming.

• 51:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  I live for it.

• 51:41Rayna Greenberg?

  So now, will she do another counter something?

• 51:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I feel like he is just releasing so much private information. Like, she's gotta hit back, right?

• 51:51Rayna Greenberg?

  But with what?

• 51:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't know. This is, this feels like the dump. Like, this feels like that lawsuit came out, he was like, oh, seriously? Have all the texts.

• 52:01Rayna Greenberg?

  All of it. I mean, all the texts, 10 minute video of them on set, voice notes. It just makes them look great.

• 52:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. Cause like, again, and like, there's so much footage and it's like, okay, we need to make sure that her claims in the sexual harassment suit are corresponding with the actual clips we're being shown. Like, I'm really like, you could pull 10 minutes from anywhere and be like, oh, she wasn't being harassed. And that's not fair.

• 52:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Absolutely.

• 52:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Cause she could have been another time. But like, they are, like, the lines she cited, like, there was a time where she said something about her spray tan. Like, they are pulling all those moments that they have captured to be like, that isn't what happened.

• 52:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 52:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  They're not just like, because that wouldn't, obviously, you hear, you got what I'm saying. Okay. All right. Well.

• 52:42Rayna Greenberg?

  I hope it never ends.

• 52:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hope you guys enjoyed this episode of the snack.
