• 0:22Rayna Greenberg?

  We'll record on your real birthday.

• 0:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, we do that a lot.

• 0:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Do we?

• 0:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I guess we do.

• 0:26Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't mind it though.

• 0:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 0:28Rayna Greenberg?

  What else was I gonna do today?

• 0:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right.

• 0:29Rayna Greenberg?

  All day?

• 0:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Masturbate.

• 0:31Rayna Greenberg?

  I do that every day.

• 0:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, but we are gonna talk about it. The balloons are here. I was fighting for my life this morning.

• 0:38Rayna Greenberg?

  These are, I didn't know you could like make balloons. It's beautiful.

• 0:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Listen, shout out to Balloon Celebrations in Santa Monica on Montana Avenue. I had a great experience.

• 0:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 0:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  I went in, they were like, what's your budget? Then they started throwing numbers out. I was like, ma'am, please.

• 0:51Rayna Greenberg?

  I didn't know balloons could cost that much. You said something in the like $500 range.

• 0:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  I didn't do that, but I was, they do like the big deal balloon bouquets. And she was like, what kind of car do you have? I was like, you know, a standard SUV. She was like, it'll fit. I went around the corner for 15 minutes, got a coffee. I come back, I'm like, how the fuck is that gonna fit in my car? I mean, we put down the seats, but she hadn't mentioned that. So I was like, what if the seats didn't go down? I mean, they weren't right here. I was like, this is a driving hazard.

• 1:16Rayna Greenberg?

  No, this is love. I was like, you know, I live by the studio and you live like kind of nearby, but you have to go by my house to get here. So I was like, can you pick me up today? And you were like, I cannot.

• 1:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Honestly, you wouldn't have fit either. I'm glad Azul doesn't have like a balloon phobia.

• 1:30Rayna Greenberg?

  He was in the back.

• 1:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Looks like he does. He's really back there. But some dogs like really can't.

• 1:35Rayna Greenberg?

  It's a thing?

• 1:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  They're weird about balloons.

• 1:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Uh, well, I'm having like the best birthday.

  That's it.

• 2:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  And that's all.

• 2:11Rayna Greenberg?

  We are, we're fresh off of our own personal no kings protest.

• 2:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  No kings, only queens.

• 2:16Rayna Greenberg?

  Only queens. Raina Palooza.

• 2:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  Raina Palooza.

• 2:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right now, I'm never taking this off.

• 2:21Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you love these?

• 2:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes. So I am not a lanyard girly, like at things where they're lanyards. Like, remember that Wimber went to South by Southwest? That guy got on the plane with his lanyard? I was like, what a dork. You don't need the lanyard.

• 2:35Rayna Greenberg?

  I sat next to a girl the whole way back in her lanyard.

• 2:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, if you want to wear the lanyard to the event, the festival, of course, especially if you've got like an artist pass, a Coachella. But like, I'm typically like, I'm not wearing it unless I absolutely have to. I had this on the whole weekend.

• 2:50Rayna Greenberg?

  People put them on starting Thursday.

• 2:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was part of my outfit. People did have them on on Thursday.

• 2:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  They're just so good. The branding was fire.

• 3:01Rayna Greenberg?

  Thank you all, Canva. Me and Canva did it.

• 3:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Canva hombre. So, yeah, I made these like artist passes. They say VIP access. I got lanyards for everybody. I made custom gift bags for everyone. And I dressed up a little Vibes Only, that bag charms in their lube. And I got sunglasses and tattoos and stickers. It just, it's a lot. Listen, everybody, of course, wants to be in the Hamptons for a free stay. And we did get houses for everybody. But it's a lot to like pack up your life. And the Hamptons are not easy to get to.

• 3:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, yeah, I mean, if you guys don't know all the details and you want to, we want to start at the beginning. We did a whole weekend in Southampton with 25-ish people. There was more people at the actual party, but like the Friday night dinner, I feel like that was the main crew. It was 24 people, well, and jaw rule, so 25, we'll talk about it. But it just like, everybody came out, we had room for everybody. It was, it was a dream.

• 3:55Rayna Greenberg?

  It took me months to plan this. It was like planning a wedding. I had so many vendors I was working with for like the party and different events. And it all just came together and everybody was so wonderful. It was four days. Thursday night dinner, smaller crew. Friday night dinner, huge crew, jaw rule. Saturday, laid around, hungover at the house all day together. I got breakfast at Goldberg's for everybody. Jeremy woke up really early with me in the pouring rain, got breakfast for everybody. And we just laid around, like 25 people, so hungover around the house, looking ugly, watching TV all day. Festival Saturday night. And then Sunday, we mostly cleaned up the house. You stay. And had brunch, but um, it was the last weekend of my life. It was, it, I've never, I've never felt luckier in the entire world and everybody loved each other so much.

• 4:39Rayna Greenberg?

  And that's what made me feel so happy. I was wondering like what the drama was gonna be.

• 4:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  I didn't anticipate any, but I'm just saying like not even a little bit of negative energy to be found.

• 4:49Rayna Greenberg?

  None. And I was like white knuckling it a little bit leading up to it for a couple of days. Cause everybody was like, what do I wear? What's the address? I'm coming this day. And then I was like, by the time we got there, everybody was just great. I, I asked for no help and people bent over backwards to pick up, pick up orders for me, clean up, set up, break stuff down. I mean, it was unbelievable how nice everybody was and got along so good. That really makes you feel like you did something right in your life when everyone gets together and is obsessed with each other.

• 5:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my gosh, it's so true. I mean, and I, one thing you had said was that people just kept coming up to you and telling you how much they loved, people that were there that they hadn't met, or they'd only really like briefly met one time before or something like that. But, yes, like all those people, all your best friends in the world, with the exception of a few, which we have a dinner tonight too, with some of the stragglers. Yeah. It just goes to show how much like people love you and just wanna like support you and celebrate you. And it just was so wonderful to see. And, I mean, Raina, you thought of everything and you are a better planner than me when it comes to parties and details and stuff like that. I'm not claiming to be, but, there were stuff you were doing that I was like, huh, is that necessary?

• 5:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  And it absolutely was like, you thought of all these details. And then even my fiance was like, I really wanna get these like, heads of Raina like on sticks. Like he took a picture of you, he got it printed out. And I was like, if that's cute and that's fine, that'll be fun. But like, I just don't think in terms of like how important these things will make the party. And so for example, like, last minute, you gotta step and repeat, which a lot of people don't know that word and that's fine, but it's just like,

• 6:22Rayna Greenberg?

  I know.

• 6:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  The logo banner that's on a red carpet that you pose in front of him, get pictures. I was like, she's really doing this. I was like, who's gonna set that shit up? Like, every time, I wasn't, I wasn't thinking of this in a judgmental way. I was just like, I wouldn't have thought of it. But you think like that, like the jewel glitter station, like everything that you did, like the bar, the catering, just everything you thought of made it such a party. And then even, Like what Jordan went out to get beer and got a keg? Were we even supposed to have a keg?

• 6:50Rayna Greenberg?

  No, I said to Lindsay, everybody likes, the guys like beer, like your fiance likes beer, a lot of people like beer. So can you just pick up a couple of things, cases of beer? And she was like, Jordan got a keg.

• 6:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, if, Raina, if we didn't have a keg, I can't even imagine the party without the keg. Like honestly, he's giving MVP energy for that. Like we, I don't know the last time I played flip cup, beer pong and did a keg stand at the same night? Best night of my life. You are never too old for this. We've said it before, you're never too old for beer pong. But like a flip cup, like a 25 person flip cup, keg stands, everybody doing keg stands.

• 7:23Rayna Greenberg?

  It was so lit. And then I hired somebody, Melanie was like, you should get somebody to do face jewels. And I was like, is anybody gonna do this? A hundred percent of the party. Betrilled faces, glitter, like a kid's birthday party. I had a 20 foot water slide. I had a photographer, I had a DJ. Our DJ was amazing, Tommy, he was fantastic. And we hired this company, I, um, cocktails and dreams mobile bar. If you're out in the Hamptons, they have like 10 different setups they'll do. They'll do custom drinks, you can name them. They were so wonderful to work with. And then they bartended everything. So I got them like wine, liquor, everything. They served everybody. Um, we did Cinderella for a taco bar. It just, thank you for saying that. I really had, all the little details were really fun.

• 8:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, you just, you think like that. I mean, that's, you think, like you look at your home and you really are like, you think of those details that make everything like really special and beautiful and fun. And they really mattered.

• 8:10Rayna Greenberg?

  And then Ja Rule just like popped up out of nowhere. So we had dinner on Friday night at this place, Kalissa. They were wonderful. It's a Greek restaurant. And they really let me have a party for 24 people, one table, no pre-orders. They were like, you can order when you get here. I was like, what?

• 8:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  This can't be right.

• 8:25Rayna Greenberg?

  They just let me do whatever I want. I was like, do you want me to order ahead on the phone? They're like, no, you pick what you want when I get here for 24 people. And then ran, so they, the PR person had said to me that Ja Rule was probably performing from six to eight. And you and I were like. He's not showing up at six to eight.

• 8:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I was like, I, I mean, maybe he'll show up, but you know, every time I've ever gone to an event, like a rapper is supposed to show up, it's like super late. I was like, what? I mean, they do have a space in the back. I've been there before where they have DJs and like they had a performer there before. Like, I was like, okay, he's probably gonna be in the back. Then we hear he's not performing, he's guest bartending.

• 8:58Rayna Greenberg?

  We were like.

• 8:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Say what?

• 9:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Ja felt on hard times?

• 9:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  So he has a whiskey brand, Amber and Opal. Check it out.

• 9:04Rayna Greenberg?

  I loved it.

• 9:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  I loved it.

• 9:05Rayna Greenberg?

  I loved it. I thought it was great.

• 9:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is like the fireball of 2025. Like, we were sucking that back. So we get there, it's packed to the walls. It's usually pretty packed, but not like this. He's behind the bar. He's got a boot on. He had hurt his foot. He had a red bottom boot. That was his little joke of the night. He kept telling everybody, I got my red bottom boot.

• 9:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  And so then we're like, oh my God, he's, he's here, up close and personal. And your friend, our friend, I mean, we're your friend, Alana, who's an amazing publicist, like, worked it out to get him to like, come over to our table. I mean, Raina, it was insane.

• 9:44Rayna Greenberg?

  They came out with sparklers. They were just like cheering with Amber and Opal whiskey. And he sang, he puts his arm around me. He was so nice.

• 9:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  You guys were, look like a couple. We will put some photo and video up. Raina, you guys are so small. It was like the cutest thing. Like, I, this, I was like, this is her man coming to wish her happy birthday.

• 10:01Rayna Greenberg?

  He was so, and he sang happy birthday. And the part where you say the person's name in the song, I whispered into his ear, Raina, and he like belted it out. He said, Dana.

• 10:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, it was loud.

• 10:09Rayna Greenberg?

  You didn't have to say all that.

• 10:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was loud. It's not as funny if you didn't hear that.

• 10:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Dana.

• 10:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Happy birthday to you.

• 10:22Rayna Greenberg?

  And afterwards, he's like, yo, thank you so much. You're such a real one for that. He was so grateful.

• 10:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  He just like hung out.

• 10:28Rayna Greenberg?

  He was so nice. He hung out, took pictures. He just was like, he couldn't have been nicer.

• 10:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's so, so nice. I mean, I am a really big Ja Rule fan. I mean, I know people like, of course, Fire Festival kind of tarnished his image and like, you know, some people say he's not, whatever, whatever critiques people have, but like, high school, early college, like those years. Like late 90s, early, mid 2000s. I mean, that's, he's the

• 10:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Bangers only.

• 10:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  The best. I mean, it's definitely like rap for the girlies, you know, like all the Ashanti songs. But I mean, I'm such an old school fan, like, and I've seen him perform at Lovers and Friends with Ashanti. I mean, it was just incredible. Like, I'm a real fan of Ja Rule. And it was so funny, Raina, because I was thinking, like, if he didn't show up that night, we would have had to tweet out, "I too was bamboozled and led astray." Oh, okay, I found the tweet. "I too was hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hoodwinked, led astray." That is exactly how I would have felt if he did not come over to our table.

• 11:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you think that he knew he was writing in that moment a tweet that would just, like, explode upon America?

• 11:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Iconic, yeah.

• 11:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Every moment of the weekend, just, I kept thinking, like, something's gonna, maybe there'll be one thing that doesn't hit. No, even the breakfast sandwiches I got on Friday morning. It just, everything was amazing. I, if I ever plan a wedding, I want to do something like that. I liked that everybody was just together all the time. And like, some people, like, went off to, like, take a little walk or, like, get a massage. But like, mostly we were just together in the house the whole entire time, like, at the pool all day Friday, hungover, looking ugly, watching movies Saturday. Like, I just like when everybody's together and no one can leave.

• 12:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  No one can leave. You're all locked in. Um, we had another little bit of a celeb cameo, Andrew Santino.

• 12:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I walked into the house and Andrew Santino was there.

• 12:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I was the first person there. I took a red eye. We landed at 6:00 a.m. and got a car and went straight there. So I'm the first person there, me and my fiance. We got in, we slept, and then Brittany shows up. And then Brittany's like, "Santino's down the street." I was like, "Have him come over." So he, he comes over. You didn't know he was there. You come walk out. He's just hanging out. It was one of your birthday presents. Yes, we love him.

• 12:31Rayna Greenberg?

  I love him around him because he's so funny.

• 12:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's the funniest person.

• 12:33Rayna Greenberg?

  Funniest person I've ever met.

• 12:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  And he's so nice and like, just such a real one.

• 12:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 12:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  So.

• 12:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Friends with Travis Kelce.

• 12:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Santino and Ja Rule were the celeb cameos of the weekend. But I mean, we just had these moments that were so special, like, when all the girls got together, like, Friday night. Everybody just kind of migrated upstairs and just hung out up there for way too long. Like, the guys were downstairs and they were coming up like, "Hey, what time?" Are we supposed to be ready? And we were just like gossiping and talking and like that was one of my favorite moments of the weekend that was totally impromptu and unexpected. Like getting ready together with the girls is my favorite thing. It's the thing I miss the most of college and living together with girlfriends in Dewey Beach in the summers and just the nothing beats it. Nothing beats like music on wine in hand, getting ready with the girls.

• 13:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Nothing. I just, I felt, I felt grateful every single second, like even Saturday night before we like before the festival started. Melanie was like, all, as all the vendors arrived as the glitter and the bar, like Melanie was like, take a shower, take a beat, I'll kick everybody out of your room. Like you and your fiance went and picked up the food. She like dealt with the glitter people, the boys helped set up the bar. The, I came downstairs, like everybody had done everything. And I just, you know, always you have these reflective moments, these milestone birthdays, like what my, what my life could have been, what is my life now? And you know, I think if you're thinking like, why don't I have 25 people to have a birthday party with? You can like I, of all the people there, only two of them I've known for, Melanie and Chelsea, I've known for 17 years,

• 14:05Rayna Greenberg?

  but Jeremy's probably my oldest friend outside of that. I met him like 11 years ago. I mean, most people I've met between 11 and seven years ago. Um, and I, these are new people since I would have gotten married, been a wife, had a baby, probably moved to New Jersey. Like my life has just changed so much, but I've built a totally different life.

• 14:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Even like Brittany, maybe she's the newest friend, like last like year or two, you know, like it is never too late.

• 14:29Rayna Greenberg?

  It isn't.

• 14:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  To make like best friends.

• 14:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. And introduce your friends to each other and be excited when they become friends and it just expands your circle. Like Brittany's in New York doing the stand this week and like Emily and Chelsea are gonna go to her show.

• 14:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, I love it. They, I love when they were all bonding. They went on like a walk together, like especially even seeing people you wouldn't have expected to really bond right in front of your eyes. It's so heartwarming.

• 14:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Just, it means a lot to me. And I honestly think this weekend was better because I didn't have a partner with me. I can't imagine feeling like I wanted to be on like a couples trip with my boyfriend or husband and having to entertain all these people. Like I got to share a bedroom with Emily and go to sleep with her every night. And I just, I was, I felt really so present. I got to be with every single person a little bit. And I, you know, I think a lot of people like walk away from their, their wedding, feeling like I didn't get to spend any time with anyone because I spent one minute with 200 people. I really felt like I got to spend a lot of time with everyone. I'm really attentioned out. After today, I really need to see the attention back to you for the rest of the summer. I'm done with it.

• 15:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's, it is a lot. I mean, I felt like that on my 40th where it was like every night there was a cake and there was singing and it was just like a lot of attention.

• 15:36Rayna Greenberg?

  People wearing cardboard cutouts to my face. Everybody had my name around their neck.

• 15:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Much attention. It's great. It feels really nice, but like, what does someone who's not used to that feel like? Really overwhelmed.

• 15:46Rayna Greenberg?

  It's overload. Even I'm like, it's enough. Everybody's cheering my name all the time. Like, are people so sick of me?

• 15:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  No.

• 15:51Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm done with it.

• 15:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Everybody loves you. But it was just, it was funny because like, it was raining all day until, you know, it really did stop and cleared out for us. It was just, you know, look at God. But I said, rain apalooza, like R A I N. I didn't want to tell you.

• 16:04Rayna Greenberg?

  No, I've been thinking it for days.

• 16:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so I had said like, rain apalooza, and I came out and I was like, it's rain apalooza. And Andrew Callum was like, that was my joke. What did you think of that? I said, two hours ago. He said, I thought of it three hours ago. And I was like, tell me exactly when you thought of it.

• 16:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, we were debating over who got to like, claim it. I was like, I, I pulled over my fiancee and like, when did I say this in the car? Tell Andrew the timestamp. And Raina was like, or Andrew was like, Brenna, when did I say it? We're like going back and forth. Like, no one used it. No one even used it.

• 16:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, somebody said rain out or shine to me like earlier in the week. And I was like, I can do better. It's rain apalooza. So that was, I just, it was great. I'm grateful every second. And I, I think it was one of the greatest memories of my life. I just, I can't imagine anything better. I have to tell you something funny though. I meant to tell people no gifts.

• 16:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 16:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Because I think about it every year because you and I go to Christmas at your parents' house. And then I have to take everything back from Delaware to California. So I was like, I just, I don't have the capacity. I will be very hungover. Please, I don't want gifts. But that I forgot to tell people. Everybody bought me books.

• 17:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Books?

• 17:10Rayna Greenberg?

  What books? I have.

• 17:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  I didn't even see any of these books.

• 17:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Books.

• 17:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Were they coming up and giving you them in secret?

• 17:16Rayna Greenberg?

  People were bringing me birthday presents.

• 17:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  But like novels?

• 17:19Rayna Greenberg?

  Books to read, cookbooks, cookbooks, nothing heavier than a cookbook.

• 17:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Wait, where are these books?

• 17:24Rayna Greenberg?

  I had to lug them back to California with me. Jackie painted a photo album for me. It said Raina Palooza, it's a big book. I mean, everybody really like, Meryl was like, I know you like cookbooks, she got me a cookbook. Like, I loved fucking books back and two different people brought me joints. So Meryl, it was really thoughtful. Meryl got me this tote bag from The Strand, which is like this amazing bookstore in New York City. It's an independent bookstore in Union Square that I love. And she got me this tote bag. And so I was putting all the books in it and a few different people brought me joints and I put them in the bag too. And I just must have forgotten, I went through airport security with rolled joints in my bag and no one said anything to me.

• 18:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my god.

• 18:07Rayna Greenberg?

  And they, this did not occur to me until I got home. I had a thermos in my bag with some water and some ice and they pulled my bag.

• 18:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  For the water.

• 18:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Thermos, pulled the thermos out. Can you imagine? Also, I just didn't even know those were in there. I would have been vibrating, like this is how I go to jail.

• 18:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh yeah, you're getting deported.

• 18:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 18:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Any, any excuse to get rid of anybody. They would have checked your phone, seen those texts about the president and be like, send her off.

• 18:32Rayna Greenberg?

  Send her back to Poland.

• 18:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Polish.

• 18:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh my god. I cannot believe I like, I can't believe I went through airports.

• 18:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  That is so crazy. I mean, I think, I could be totally wrong. Let me preface it by saying, like, I think the dogs find those. Like, I don't think that they have a scanner, that's like a smell sniff test. Like, had you, had a dog been there, Raina? Like, I don't know how else they would see it. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I think the dogs are drug dogs. So had a bunch of German shepherds surrounded you, it would have been over for you.

• 19:06Rayna Greenberg?

  If I had been accidentally arrested for something I could have easily avoided by putting it in my suitcase that I checked.

• 19:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. Whoever got you those would have been.

• 19:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Melanie.

• 19:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Never invited.

• 19:17Rayna Greenberg?

  My best friend.

• 19:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  All she can say.

• 19:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, anyways, it was, thank you for making it so special and it just, it was incredible. And we have one more day of attention. That'll be tonight. We're going to Catch for dinner.

• 19:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Catch for dinner. Can't wait to slut it up. If I can order a seafood tower.

• 19:31Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't wait.

• 19:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  If I can get lit up. Maybe I won't get that lit up. I can take a break.

• 19:34Rayna Greenberg?

  I was in New York for a week.

• 19:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  I can't believe you did that.

• 19:37Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know how I did it. I cannot self-regulate in New York. I was out every night till 1 o'clock in the morning, just binge drinking, eating my face off. My eyes are still puffy.

• 19:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  June in New York is just, there's a million things to do every night. It's the best month, June, June, September. Um, okay. Well, it was incredible. You're incredible. Everyone loves you. Everyone had the best time. Like, everyone is like, we have to do this every year. I'm gonna lead that charge if no one else does. Like, this will be a tradition. But how are you feeling today on your birthday?

• 20:01Rayna Greenberg?

  I feel just-

• 20:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  On your, on your milestone day?

• 20:03Rayna Greenberg?

  I feel thrilled. I mean, I feel like I got all the love and attention I could ever needed on the weekend. And I feel grateful to be 40, to have the relationships in my life that I have, to have my health and love in my life.

• 20:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  To be hot.

• 20:14Rayna Greenberg?

  And, huh?

• 20:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  To be hot.

• 20:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I, you guys are up between the lines, because I look good.

• 20:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm so grateful. I'm just feeling so blessed. For everything that I have, my looks mainly.

• 20:28Rayna Greenberg?

  These titties.

• 20:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  These titties. This ass. This hair. These teeth.

• 20:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I paid for all this. If 25-year-old me could see me now-

• 20:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Not your lips. Your lips are natural, everybody.

• 20:40Rayna Greenberg?

  That's the only thing.

• 20:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  And your nose.

• 20:41Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I do have an original nose.

• 20:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, can't relate.

• 20:45Rayna Greenberg?

  I, I feel, I feel great. I woke up in my beautiful house. I just, I want for nothing.

• 20:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Mm-hmm.

• 20:49Rayna Greenberg?

  What, a man? A dusty man? Ah! Pick one of those up on the corner tomorrow.

• 20:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, if, you know, they, there are good ones out there, but if you don't have one of them, I, it's just, we talk about this shit every day. I mean, you were, what, you said you were in Soho House in New York? You were overhearing these girls' conversation, this girl just talking about the shit she was like putting up with from this man. And you were having to hold back from jumping in and being like, don't do this! You don't have to do this!

• 21:18Rayna Greenberg?

  She was like, he makes me feel small and stupid. He doesn't appreciate me, but I do everything. I'm responsible for everything. And if I don't do it, like, he just gets mad at me and I don't know what to do. I was like white.

• 21:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  I like I do his resume. I I do his laundry. I cook. I clean. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, we were talking about this with um a friend that was there too that recently went through a breakup and just like if you are parenting an adult, get the fuck out of here. This is crazy. I mean, you're in your twenties. It's different, whatever. But I'm saying like your thirties, if you are creeping towards forty and you are parenting a full grown ass man, he's not making your life easier. What are we doing?

• 21:54Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I think about her every day. Just, do you think I should have said something?

• 21:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  That girl.

• 22:00Rayna Greenberg?

  She was with a friend and the friend was like,

• 22:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Maybe she's listening.

• 22:03Rayna Greenberg?

  What are you sitting there for? What are you staying here for? And she was like, I feel like I can't leave.

• 22:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, her friend did give her some good advice?

• 22:07Rayna Greenberg?

  No, it just was like, what are you still saying? No, what did I tell you? I told you she said something like,

• 22:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know.

• 22:12Rayna Greenberg?

  She said, I I think her feedback was like, yo, that's crazy.

• 22:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, yeah, that's crazy.

• 22:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I was like, why are you doing this? Like, I figured before I left, I would be like a fairy godmother and be like, just, you know, just for a living. And like, you are so beautiful and smart and fun and you seem really kind and like, get the fuck out of there.

• 22:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, get the fuck out of there.

• 22:26Rayna Greenberg?

  You just, you never know how somebody's gonna react. Like, whatever, you shouldn't have been talking about it three feet away from it. It's on you.

• 22:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, girl, if you're out there, this is for you.

• 22:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, anyways.

• 22:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, well, on the day of your birthday celebration, there was another birthday celebration that was a total flop.

• 22:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Would love to see that.

• 22:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  And that was the president's little military parade.

• 22:45Rayna Greenberg?

  His little birthday parade?

• 22:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  That was his birthday. So we had a parade that was supposedly to celebrate the military's two hundred fiftieth anniversary. Uh, but it was on his birthday and he's wanted to do this before he wanted to do this in his first presidency. So he got, he did not get what he wanted, that's for sure.

• 23:02Rayna Greenberg?

  He did not look happy.

• 23:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  And, you know, I want to start by saying that I have all the respect for our our military and the people who risk their lives to fight for this country. I mean, I hate that that has to happen, like hot take, war and death and, you know, people dying, but in the name of their country. And, you know, I just don't want to show any disrespect to our military. Meanwhile, the president himself, I feel like, shows a lot of disrespect to the military. I mean, he's like notorious draft dodger and he's like, cut programs for veterans and, you know, I just think that he has not shown respect for them. You can think whatever you want, but that's, when we talk about this parade and this event, it's not in light of any disrespect to the military. Military to do this.

• 23:40Rayna Greenberg?

  To serve him necessarily.

• 23:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, and that's it. This woman messaged me and she was like, my husband, I'm a military wife and like, my husband hates what he's seen, because this is not what they sign up for. They, you know, their loyalty is like the country, the constitution and what this country stands for, not the president, not this wannabe dictator. So, so many people in the military, I can't speak for all of them, but like, hate what's happening. And a lot of people feel like they showed their disrespect in the parade.

• 24:07Rayna Greenberg?

  It was 6,600 service members, 150 military vehicles, 50 helicopters and aircrafts. I mean, they're saying this cost up to $45 million of taxpayer money, which is so sickening when you think that this money could have gone to, I don't know, helping veterans, paying their medical bills.

• 24:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Anything.

• 24:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Anything but this.

• 24:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  But this, yeah. And not that many people attended. You saw these empty bleachers. I mean, it was amazing to see. You heard the tanks squeaking down the road. The squeaky tanks.

• 24:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Also, I saw people saying like, they could have fixed those tanks. Like, the main thing I saw, and again, I'm just telling you what I've saw in threads and all over the internet, people even from the military kind of speaking up, were that the military were marching out of step. And some people were saying, you know, if you don't do that on the daily, you can't do it anymore. And most people were like, no, you can. Like, you are trained to do this. It's harder for them to march out of step than in step with each other.

• 25:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Right.

• 25:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  They were in like, a different type of outfit than you would have expected. And people were saying that they were lazily just strolling as a sign, like, to send a message. They called it malicious compliance.

• 25:29Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, this was, to me, a really disgusting display of their, it was a waste of their, those people's time.

• 25:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly.

• 25:35Rayna Greenberg?

  To do this for him. It was a waste of taxpayer money. I can't, I can't believe how much this money could have gone to helping people. It makes me sick. You actually can't walk out of step. I mean, imagine the DCC getting out of step.

• 25:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  We'll talk about it.

• 25:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Whole Lionel Stuffer.

• 25:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  But you know what Trump pictured was this very like North Korea Russian vi- you know, like dictatorship vibes and it's not even that like our military isn't up to par with those. Again, I'm not an expert, but like it's like the people are saying like they could have looked better. They just didn't want to. And that's what I'm seeing from a lot of people that are in the military. This isn't like me saying, you know.

• 26:12Rayna Greenberg?

  The White House reported the 250,000 people went.

• 26:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Boo, lies.

• 26:16Rayna Greenberg?

  The actual news reporting was about a 10th of that.

• 26:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 26:19Rayna Greenberg?

  So under 40,000 people.

• 26:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right up. Like Nikki Glaser performs for more people than that in a weekend. John Ruhl performs for more people than that in a night. Maybe. He used to. Like this is, that is nothing.

• 26:33Rayna Greenberg?

  He looked so miserable.

• 26:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh.

• 26:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Meanwhile, at the same time, there was a No Kings protest nationwide. I feel like emotional saying that demonstrations held in 2,000 plus cities across America, 50 states, an estimated turnout of between four to six million people.

• 26:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, truly. Like millions of people went to these protests and obviously had we not had Raina Palooza, like I would have wanted to be out there and I was really following so closely, like what was happening in LA and abroad, of course, like small red states, red cities, red towns even, and people just really showing up and showing out and just hitting the streets. And you know, if this was something that you did or that you support, you know, just don't, don't stop paying attention and finding resources. I like indivisible, indivisible team on Instagram is a great place for resources. Like it's just like, don't wait till the next protest to really find where you can still continue to show your support and push back

• 27:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  and people to call and places to donate and letters to write and you know, all of that.

• 27:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. I think that this has been one of the worst weeks in the news.

• 27:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 27:42Rayna Greenberg?

  In all of 2025, maybe the worst week in the news of 2025. And that's, that's saying a lot for this year.

• 27:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 27:48Rayna Greenberg?

  A lot of pain and suffering via ICE, which we, we can talk about briefly. But I think hopefully the tides are maybe turning and so many people showed up to these protests and they were peaceful and it was a beautiful message and people made like great signs and really came together and I, I hope a lot of people will unite and come out against this. And I, I love the very public display against this person. And I, I hate that it was at the cost of like celebrating people in the military who deserve our respect and our honor. But Donald Trump made this about his birthday, so it is what it is.

• 28:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  And you know, I think some people may wonder like, what does it matter? You know, like what do these protests accomplish? And it's like, for one, you feel that the collective rage, you know, and just kind of the, you're, you're with the people that are on the same page as you and hold the same values. And I think there's a lot of power in that. And when I went to that protest in Chicago, like I just, you, you want to be surrounded by people, like-minded people and just showing that there is like strength in numbers and it's important to like get out there and just like send a message and, and don't stop and like call this stuff out. Even today, I think they arrested another like Democratic leader in New York. I mean, our Senator Padilla was arrested and detained last week.

• 29:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, last week was just every minute of the day was like something else terrible happening, but just don't let up, post it. I mean, that's the thing, I'm just share this stuff. A lot of people don't see this stuff. They don't know, you know, just spreading awareness is, is really important, so.

• 29:17Rayna Greenberg?

  I just wanted to hype a couple of people that made signs. I wrote a couple of signs that I liked, wanted to tell you about. Clean up on aisle 47. Nobody is eating the dogs.

• 29:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Love it.

• 29:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Nobody paid us to be here. We all hate you for free. If Melania doesn't have to live with him, why do we?

• 29:33Rayna Greenberg?

  I wrote this down for you. You sucked in Home Alone 2.

• 29:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  You sucked in Home Alone 2. A lot of people were sending me that. They tried, they've been trying to get him out, I heard. The director would like to take him out of Home Alone 2.

• 29:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. Alexa changed the president. This president is the nastiest skank bitch I've ever met.

• 29:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Perfect. Elon wrote that one.

• 29:51Rayna Greenberg?

  People got creative.

• 29:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was actually a tweet from Elon.

• 29:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  We missed that whole fight. We didn't have a snack, like the Elon and Trump thing, but it's, there's so much has happened since, but what a rush.

• 30:01Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, he walked, he's walked it back.

• 30:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  But that was a fun day.

• 30:05Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, my hope is that other leaders will see, not that, not that I want to hype Elon Musk, but my hope is that other people in power will feel like they also can be empowered to speak out and stop hiding, because I know this is a very frightening administration.

• 30:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, we are seeing it. We're seeing it, oh, really with our governor. I mean, he is pushing back like no one else. And we can talk about it a little bit more. We're going to take a quick break in a minute and then get back into kind of like what's happening in California and just, you know, talk about that, especially since we live here. But, you know, I think it is hitting a boiling point. You know, I want to try to stay optimistic. I, I, I do think it's such a dark time, but you are seeing a lot of pushback.

• 30:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 30:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  And finally.

• 30:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. So here's hoping it continues.

• 30:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Anyway.

• 30:50Rayna Greenberg?

  Let's thank our partners.

  Okay, and Skims, I didn't even mean to do it, but I'm wearing a Skims tee and a Skims fits-everybody bra. I pretty much wear them every single day. And they have their ultimate strapless push-up bra and the ultimate balconet push-up bra. And I always kind of avoided push-up bras because I have big boobs already and I find them to be like bulky and heavy and they don't look great. And this is the first and only one that I've ever found that I love the look and the feel and the shape. They come in so many colors, so many sizes. I've never even seen this many shades of beige, tan, brown, black. I sleep in them every night. I love the underwire of the fits-everybody bras. There's just so much variety. It's so comfy.

Simply Pop supports gut health, so big on gut health with six grams of prebiotic fiber, no added sugars, sweetened with juices, monk fruit extract, supports immune health with zinc and vitamin C. Simply Pop is flavor that pops. I really love all the flavors, but I'm just like a pineapple mango kind of tropical flavor. I also love a lime, any citrus fruit I love, but they all are really delicious, again,

• 34:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  made with real fruit juice. And you pair that with the zinc and the vitamin C and it's gonna support your immune health. You just really can't beat it. So this is all new.

You can go to cokeurl.com/simplypop and find out where you can try Simply Pop. So yeah, like we said, I mean, we just want to take a moment and acknowledge what's been happening all over the country since the inauguration, but really concentrated in California as of late with these ICE raids. The president and the administration just really took it upon themselves to hit California and target California hard. And, you know,

• 35:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  this is something that I could talk about for hours. I think that I do. This has probably been my main thing since Donald Trump ran. I feel like he had one policy and it was mass deportation. And the numbers were all out of whack, 20 million people and, you know, all undocumented criminals. We all knew that wouldn't be the case. You know, like, my whole thing has been like, if we do this and start targeting these people, ripping away these families, going after people at work, at daycare, at school graduations and treating them without due process so inhumanely, none of us are safe. And it's such a slippery slope into such a terrifying time. Like, when I look at these things happening,

• 35:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm like, have you never heard of Nazi Germany? Like, have you never looked at history and how these things start? Have you never read a quote from Anne Frank? You know, like, I always have been so terrified and... Because of what it, yes, for the people that are being targeted, but the way that it affects everybody in every community. And I knew it was only a matter of time before it was like truly right in our backyard. And, you know, that's what happened and they came into California, they've been here, they've been everywhere, but where it was like so bad and just snatching people up off the street and like disappearing them and, you know, of course, we've been seeing people sent to these foreign prisons. I mean, there's so many different layers of it, I couldn't possibly cover it all.

• 36:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  But California is the state with the most immigrants in the country and the most undocumented immigrants in the country is a sanctuary state, LA is a sanctuary city. I mean, they are so important to our communities and, you know, I don't even like to talk about immigrants in terms of like the work they do and they're people, they should be treated as such. People have been here for decades, you know, the system is so broken, but for people to come here and they've lived here for 20 years and they've built families here and they have jobs and their life is here, it's the only life they've known, you know, they shouldn't pay the price of our broken system. And what has happened is so disgusting.

• 37:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  You see these kids alone, separated from their parents, people go, these people are working, they're taking them from, they have no criminal records. I mean, it's just been this disgusting attack and people finally snapped and then the president sent in the National Guard illegally, the governor has to request them, it's in the Constitution, sends in the National Guard, they weren't needed, our law enforcement had it under control, protests, obviously some rioting broke out, there was of course bad actors that, you know, were lighting fires and looting and they've been arrested and he sends in the National Guard and then the Marines, they don't even have anywhere to sleep, they weren't prepared for these people, again disrespectful to them, there was no plan in place, it's all political theater.

• 38:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  And of course, the governor has just been going all the way off, whatever you think about Gavin Newsom, he is single-handedly fighting back in such a way that we have not seen and I love to see it and he's so hot. And Every day, it just, it felt like a nightmare. And the stories we were seeing, and I mean, again, it's just one of those things I could talk about forever, and I think about every hour. And to see it happening here, and it's, it felt like it all kind of culminated with the No Kings protest. I just don't, people think it's over. It's still happening.

• 38:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, it's still happening here. I, I feel like dizzy when I start talking about it. I don't even know like where to begin.

• 38:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know.

• 38:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Like, so many of us come from immigrant families. So many of us, if you go back to our grandparents, came here for a better life, mine did, from Poland.

• 38:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 38:51Rayna Greenberg?

  Like, you, you've, I've asked myself my whole life, how did the Holocaust happen in plain sight? This is how it happened?

• 38:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes.

• 38:56Rayna Greenberg?

  And this was quicker than I ever even imagined. I mean, he promised that this would happen, and he is highly delivering on it. And all these people that said like, well, I didn't know it would be this bad. He promised it would be this bad.

• 39:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  He told you.

• 39:07Rayna Greenberg?

  It is so sickening, these lies that have been sold to the American public, that these immigrants aren't paying taxes and they're criminals. The number one non-tax, non-taxpaying criminal is the President of the United States.

• 39:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  And all the other billionaires.

• 39:20Rayna Greenberg?

  They do not pay taxes. There are corporations just taking advantages of Americans all over the place. This feels so bold to say, but the, the worst things that have ever been perpetrated against me in my life were by white American men.

• 39:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Totally.

• 39:33Rayna Greenberg?

  I, I can't believe what's happening here. It makes me so sick. I'm terrified for the people around me, the people who have really contributed to everything good in my life. It just, I, I hate to, I hate to see that this is happening. It feels so insurmountable. How do you stop? But I have seen so many people speak out about it.

• 39:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  And just like, really fighting back. And of course, I don't mean in a violent way, but film these motherfuckers. Like, I mean, they're not supposed to be masked and in plain clothes. I mean, it's crazy. I mean, you have these leaders in Minnesota, one of whom was killed and one was shot. I mean, it's just, it's all, I can't even keep up. Like, again, like last week, it was like, every single moment of every day was something new and terrible, and I, you know, I can't possibly post and talk about it all, it would be my entire full-time job.

• 40:21Rayna Greenberg?

  That's all I want to talk about.

• 40:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  I, I know. But it's just like, there's, it's hard to keep up. And like, meanwhile, while we're focused on this, so many other terrible things are happening in terms of just like, our, the palantir and our personal information and our security and like, every, it's just, it's all part of like, a really disgusting master plan. And...

• 40:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just stay vigilant. Film ICE if you see them, you know, stay on top of your community, like, social media accounts and message boards and just like focus in on like what's happening in your direct community when these people show up and really push back and just pay attention and share these stories. Make sure your friends and family know, I mean, as long as, the more people that can be aware, and that was something I posted on my social media, if like, the least you can do is just share this information to someone that may not be aware from a reputable source, the better. The more people understand and some people will not have compassion and I don't understand it, think it's the easiest thing in the world to have, and some people will not care and they did vote for this and they do like to see it happening and they don't think that

• 41:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  they would ever be next, which is not true. And, but the people that do, I mean, it just, it's important that we speak up and push back.

• 41:34Rayna Greenberg?

  I just want to say to our listeners, if you were affected by this in any way or your business was, we are so sorry and, you know, our hearts are with you.

• 41:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, and I mean, if you have things you want to send us, send our way, like I will post where I can in terms of like places to donate and show up and all of that, you know, people message me a lot and if you have those, please like send them our way and we'll keep fighting the good fight.

• 41:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. All right, let's lighten it up with cheerleaders.

• 42:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  What have we been watching?

• 42:03Rayna Greenberg?

  You guys, I'm, I feel so blessed, season two of America Sweethearts, the Dallas Cowboys docu-series on Netflix, season two is out. Season one, I was so obsessed with. I wasn't sure because I was like, it's a documentary about cheerleaders, I was a cheerleader. I was like, you were like, you have to get into this, it's the most heartwarming thing.

• 42:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, I feel like I was on the forefront of season one where I was like, oh, I'm watching that immediately.

• 42:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't think I left the house for a full day.

• 42:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I do really feel like I was, I remember seeing this come up on Netflix. I was like, I'll watch that immediately, like day one, it's so good, it's so well shot. There's an Emmy award-winning director, Greg Whiteley, and the team behind Cheer, we love Cheer, and Last Chance You, I love that as well, that's who made the show. And again, it's in season two, but you know, if you really aren't familiar with it at all, it, like Arina said, America Sweethearts. Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and it follows the most famous cheerleaders in the world. And really you get into their personal stories. You really get to know these young women and you know, you see the process that they go through and how grueling it is and what you have to go through to make the most prestigious squad in the world and the coaches and you know, there's some drama and

• 43:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  there's just different storylines. I mean, it's just so riveting and I think, you know, I didn't realize how emotional I would get over it, really seeing the bonds between the women, just the, the pure girlhood of it all and how they just support each other above everything else. And you know, when people get cut and it just rips your heart out and you're like, these women care about each other so much. This is like the greatest time in their lives. And you see some of them that retire and you're like, what are they going to do now? I mean, it's so defining of who you are as, as a person. And why wouldn't it be? I mean, to be able to put on that outfit, go out there on game day in the biggest stadium in, in the world and do this.

• 43:51Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I

• 43:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  What a rush.

• 43:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I love to watch these, these girls together and their friendships. There's this really great scene this season of just like eight or nine girls in this hotel room. They're just like giggling and making each other laugh.

• 44:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like I said, the best moments.

• 44:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Each other. And it is the best moments. And I loved last season and this season, there's tons of cameos from people from last season and everybody that like I love from the squad is back, at least briefly. And you get to see like Reese's wedding, which is so cute. She was like the star of last season. And there's all these cute new girlies. There's a couple of people back that got cut from last year, like Kelly and Charlie.

• 44:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Kelly from New Jersey is my number one. Remember they made her grow brunette? That was crazy.

• 44:24Rayna Greenberg?

  She looks amazing.

• 44:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, they had her grow brunette and then she did get cut. I was like, what? This is

• 44:31Rayna Greenberg?

  I couldn't believe it. Somebody dyed my hair and then cut me.

• 44:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  So, yeah, but she is, is back. And so you'll see, we got the screeners in advance. So we've watched a little bit and so you will see what happens with her. We're not going to give any spoilers.

• 44:42Rayna Greenberg?

  There's some good storylines this season. There's a woman who works for the team. She's a, a coach or a choreographer on the cheerleading squad. Her daughter is up for the squad this year. So you're like, what's Kelly gonna do?

• 44:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Some of that, like some of the like legacy type people. I mean, you had Victoria from last season, like I find And those to be really interesting storylines.

• 45:01Rayna Greenberg?

  And last year Victoria's mom didn't even work for the team. This girl's mom is a legacy.

• 45:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, right.

• 45:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Works for the team.

• 45:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oof.

• 45:06Rayna Greenberg?

  And I think that I feel this year that the women are much more outspoken. So there's four leads on the team this year. Three of them are minority women and they said this is the first time this has ever happened, that there's been so many women of color that are the leads. And they really are, they, they talk about it. They talk about their salaries and being outspoken and feeling like they're afraid to be outspoken, not just because, you know, it's, it's an honor and a privilege to be a part of this squad. And I think the people are sold this idea of like, if you don't want this, a thousand girls behind you in line. And I think there's a lot of bravery and speaking up and sharing that with other girls in the squad and being a leader for them. And there's a lot of themes of that. So I really like enjoyed that. And I just love the bond of the girls. I love the dancing. It's fun. I like the music.

• 45:48Rayna Greenberg?

  Like rooting for these girls and you guys are just gonna love it as much as last season.

• 45:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's time to learn thunderstruck. It's time to learn the dance.

• 45:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Actually, I can't kick that high. There's like a whole, like 30 minutes about just the kick.

• 45:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  You don't have a high kick.

• 46:01Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, but you can do a front high kick.

• 46:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I'm just saying, Raina, you know, I have a pretty good high kick. Cause that one time I posted that video, everyone was talking about it.

• 46:07Rayna Greenberg?

  No, that was crazy.

• 46:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's like the one thing I can do.

• 46:09Rayna Greenberg?

  They talk about?

• 46:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  With only one leg.

• 46:10Rayna Greenberg?

  No, you're a pretty good dancer.

• 46:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I mean, it's cheerleader wise, I was not a good cheerleader. I'm saying like my high kick is, is pretty strong.

• 46:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Do it.

• 46:21Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, do it.

• 46:27Rayna Greenberg?

  Actually, I actually just kicked like a $2,000 light.

• 46:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  I kicked the ceiling. That's how good my high kick is.

• 46:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Actually, that was crazy. I can barely reach that lamp, by the way, with my arm. What? That was crazy.

• 46:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, but no, but honestly, I mean, it sounds like maybe they took.

• 46:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Some feedback from season one, even in terms of like stuff they're pulling back the curtain on a little bit in season two and maybe some of the race stuff, maybe some of the money stuff like you're getting to see that more. I mean, I think that they really want this to be a true representation of the team. I don't know. They don't want to sugarcoat. It just seems like it's an honest look at the experience.

• 47:14Rayna Greenberg?

  I think that these women feel, I hope, a little, a little bit more empowered to speak out this season just because of the response from last season, which wasn't, it was, it was really positive, but there was a lot of talk about how the girls are compensated and things like that. So I think that the show also responded by having them talk about it.

• 47:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, let's talk about it. And I just love to see what true athletes they are. I mean, it's just to watch. I mean, that's how I felt during Cheer two, where you're just like, it's so easy to be like, ah, they're, you know, cheerleaders. It's like, you try it.

• 47:44Rayna Greenberg?

  No, I, I mean, I cannot believe what they can do with their bodies. So the whole season, all seven episodes are out on Netflix right now, season two. So, you know, we'll see you at the end of the weekend when you come back up out of your hole.

• 47:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. Okay. And what else?

• 47:58Rayna Greenberg?

  I am almost finished with the new season of Tire, Shane Gillis's show. Last season was so funny. People are saying the second season even better. And I was like, it's, I mean, I think it is so funny. I laugh out loud by myself watching it. It's about a tire shop in Philadelphia. Shane Gillis is a mechanic and there's tons of cameos from comedians. Our good friend Frances Ellis is the star of one of the episodes. He just absolutely crushed it. Vince Vaughn and Feitelberg from Barstool and just so many of our buddies are on it. Vince Vaughn.

• 48:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, you see a lot of comedians and people that we know, I mean, Karen Feehan was in her season. I don't know if she's coming, coming back.

• 48:33Rayna Greenberg?

  She's in a second season.

• 48:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  The season, I mean, it's really cool to see. I mean, the first season was six episodes. This one's 12. I mean, they really, people loved it. I mean, my whole family watches it. And, you know, my dad owned a auto parts supplier, like a kind of a smaller business and just, it so reminds me of being in the shop with him on some days. I mean, I wouldn't go to work with him that much, but I would, it was in and out and my brother was there a lot and just these dudes. I'm like, it just reminds me of my childhood sometimes. I could smell that tire shop. And so I love watching it for that. It feels kind of nostalgic to me and obviously Philadelphia, Delaware, you know, same part of the country, but it's, it's hilarious. I mean, Frances's episode. He was born to play coke addict.

• 49:14Rayna Greenberg?

  I know, he really was. It's so funny that you feel at home watching that. I feel at home watching the bear. I'm like, it's a little triggering for me.

• 49:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. So we're loving that. I mean, we haven't had a lot of time to like, watch stuff. Ginny and George is on my list. I have got to start it. And I'm really having one of my summer reading moments right now. I'm just like, really been reading a lot. And I have started my first Ellen Hildebrand book. You gave it to me. It's The Five Star Weekend. She has 30 fucking books.

• 49:40Rayna Greenberg?

  So that was the most famous author I had never heard of. And last summer, I was looking for like, a beach read kind of thing. And she mostly writes about like, summer in Nantucket.

• 49:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 49:51Rayna Greenberg?

  And I read Perfect Couple, which became a Netflix series. And I was like, it's a phenomenal book, way better than the show. And then that was my second book, The Five Star Weekend. And I just, I mean, you realize how many books she has.

• 50:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  So many books. What's this bitch doing? Two books a year? Crazy. She's just sitting on Nantucket?

• 50:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Two days.

• 50:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Really? So I am just, just started it. I like, brought it to Raina Palooza, like, I was gonna read. But it was just funny, because it was out with me sometimes. It was like, by the pool, it was in my bedroom, and everybody had something to say. Like, all the girls on the trip were like, oh, my god, Ellen Hildebrand. And I was like, this is my first foray into it. So I'm just starting that. I'm sure you guys will like, have a lot to say. And there are some other TV news and various news. We're gonna go through some of your headlines now, to wrap it up.

• 50:32Rayna Greenberg?

  So I mean, the show that exploded this year, Traitors, they have announced their season four cast. I was in the pool on Friday, and somebody was like, oh, my god, Traitors announced the season four cast. So it sounds like it's gonna be really fun. There's some Olympic figure skaters. Tara Lipinski is gonna be a part of it, and Johnny Weir, Ron Funches, Donna Kelce.

• 50:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Raina, okay, Donna?

• 50:54Rayna Greenberg?

  Donna. They got Donna.

• 50:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Is this not like, a physically challenging?

• 50:57Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 50:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  I wouldn't consider her to be an athlete. This is nothing against her, but I don't watch the show. I need to get into it. But it's like, physically challenging. Okay, Donna Kelce.

• 51:06Rayna Greenberg?

  I didn't see it coming. I mean, you would have thought that it would be Kylie.

• 51:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes.

• 51:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Not Jenner. But no, Donna is in there, and Stephen Colletti.

• 51:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  I saw that, okay.

• 51:18Rayna Greenberg?

  So I'm excited for the show. I mean, it really exploded last season.

• 51:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Donna Kelce. This is incredible.

• 51:25Rayna Greenberg?

  It's just, they were just like, send it, fuck it. This is the new Dancing with the Stars.

• 51:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 51:29Rayna Greenberg?

  So.

• 51:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, uh, we'll see.

• 51:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. And we didn't mention this, but we Love Island is back. Everybody's talking about it. Rain and I are not in the culture and we apologize. And we probably said last year, we were going to watch it this year and we lied.

• 51:42Rayna Greenberg?

  I

• 51:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Not intentionally.

• 51:43Rayna Greenberg?

  I did. I promised.

• 51:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  I thought I was going to too.

• 51:45Rayna Greenberg?

  It's a full-time job watching Love Island and you miss like a couple of episodes. I don't know, Paige De Sorbo, she hosted one of the challenges this week.

• 51:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 51:52Rayna Greenberg?

  She looked amazing. So there's like special guests they do sometimes. Ariana looks amazing. And I'm sure it's great.

• 51:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. So anyway, that's part of the TV report too. Okay. The Pedro Pascal lookalike contest. They had this in New York on Father's Day. Of course they had on Father's Day, America's zaddy.

• 52:08Rayna Greenberg?

  And a zaddy won.

• 52:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  They looked in, they looked so much like him.

• 52:13Rayna Greenberg?

  Every one of them looked like him. Like the one who, the person who won, I was like, you mean to tell me?

• 52:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's not him.

• 52:17Rayna Greenberg?

  That's not him. I was like, oh my God, he showed up at his own lookalike contest. Cause that happens sometimes.

• 52:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 52:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Every person was like a 10 out of 10 ringer for him.

• 52:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  He would show up. He would be with somebody that would show up.

• 52:29Rayna Greenberg?

  He's so cool.

• 52:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  So anyway, congrats to him.

• 52:32Rayna Greenberg?

  That's crazy.

• 52:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just love to see the footage, but that was, that was a good one. And I'm not over these lookalike contests. I never will be. People are, aren't we done with these yet?

• 52:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Fuck no.

• 52:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Have some joy.

• 52:42Rayna Greenberg?

  It's the biggest joy in the world. Okay. So Glenn Powell's ex Gigi Perez, she broke her silence on the Sydney Sweeney, Glenn Powell romance rumor. She went on a podcast this week and spoke. The TLDR is she says she actually did. She's not sure. Well, I'll give you a little background if you guys have been living under a rock is as Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney were promoting their new movie last year, it kind of let the press think that they were having an affair.

• 53:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 53:03Rayna Greenberg?

  She was engaged as well. They didn't confirm or deny, but allowed people to believe that. And Glenn Powell had a very serious girlfriend, not fiance, girlfriend the whole time. And she finally has gone public saying she's not sure if they actually did or not. But she was like, the vibe was like, this is what I've achieved for my job. Like, what do you want from me?

• 53:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 53:22Rayna Greenberg?

  She was like, I had to like nut up and have some dignity and respect for myself. And it was horrible, but I couldn't be with him anymore. And I love to see it.

• 53:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 53:30Rayna Greenberg?

  And I love to see her tell her story. Cause that whole thing was gross. I don't care. If my man is an actor. For a storyline, for your dumb little rom com, you're gonna pretend that you're dating. How about just make a good movie? How about, I don't know, be a good actor?

• 53:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Go off.

• 53:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Make a good movie.

• 53:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  I never saw that movie because

• 53:46Rayna Greenberg?

  No, me either. On principle.

• 53:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Were like, it's, you can't even hate watch it. It's that bad. Raina, let me jump in, something I'm gonna say. I think I'm done with And Just Like That. It is so bad. It is so awful. The writing is so corny and insulting to the viewer. And then the acting on top of it, like, is, I think that, like, I can't believe anybody who worked on Sex and the City is working on the show, but supposedly they are. Last night, I was like, I'm done. I watched episode three. I was like, I'm absolutely done. Even the music, even the music behind it is like the corniest. It feels like they just picked the cheapest stock music they could find to make the show even worse. Like, it's not even fun to hate watch anymore. And I have like too much anger and frustration in my life and like too much hate in my heart.

• 54:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  And I just like can't deal with this right now, at this point in life. Like, in the world, I can't add this to my plate of things to be mad at. It's getting worse. I didn't hate, I liked to hate watch season one. I kinda even liked season two. Like, I was like, oh, it's getting better. I've given up all hope. This is so bad. The writing's getting worse, the acting's getting worse. I can't believe these women are doing what they're doing to us.

• 54:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Also, you said like you think some of the people from like the original Sex and the City are involved. The main cast is involved and none of them are like, why are my storylines so dumb?

• 54:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 55:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Why is this dialogue making me sound like such an idiot?

• 55:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Thank you. It's just, it's so fucking corny. And I think the thing that finally put me over the edge was, I had it on and I was, my fiance was there. I don't say, I'm not saying he was watching it. And he was even like, you like this? And I'm like, I'm embarrassed. And for me to have to explain to him, like, no, you don't understand, it's the reboot of this show that's so good. Like, I've made him watch a few Sex and the Cities just so he understands. And I'm like, the fact that I'm embarrassed to watch this, the fact that like the person who knows me and loves me and he's judging me, I'm out.

• 55:31Rayna Greenberg?

  That's where you drew the line.

• 55:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  I can't explain to him, like, no, I actually, I hate, I'm not, I'm not a hate watcher, I'm not a hate listener. You know, we always say, people like, you wanna hate listen to this podcast? Get a hobby.

• 55:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Clown.

• 55:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  What kinda time do you have? So I'm like, I don't like it, I'm done.

• 55:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Good.

• 55:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 55:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, that'll be the last roundup of Sex and the City and Just Like That.

• 55:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  If you guys are gonna continue to watch it, I wish you all the best. I reserve no judgment. I, let me know if it gets good. It won't, but I respect your journey and I'm out. Okay, tell me about this chair.

• 56:01Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 56:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Because it's very personal, too. It's very Rayna.

• 56:04Rayna Greenberg?

  It's, okay, let me pull this up. Okay. In Verona, in Ferravera, this place called Palazzo Mavi, M-A-F-V-I. There was this couple that was caught on camera. Essentially, they went to this palazzo. And they were taking photos in this chair. It's a Swarovski crystal chair. It's a sculpture. It's a Vincent Van Gogh chair.

• 56:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 56:24Rayna Greenberg?

  And they asked the staff to please leave the room so that they could take a photo. And I guess people in Verona were like, what are they gonna do?

• 56:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right.

• 56:35Rayna Greenberg?

  I would have been like, it's a chair. They're gonna sit on the chair.

• 56:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right.

• 56:37Rayna Greenberg?

  But I'm smarter than the staff, I guess. So they were hovering, the man was hovering over the chair. And I think he kind of lost his balance and sat on the chair and crushed the chair. And the legs, you guys, you gotta watch like the

• 56:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  The video. There's full like security cam footage.

• 56:52Rayna Greenberg?

  You wanna watch the video of the legs of this chair, all four of them just buckle out.

• 56:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 56:56Rayna Greenberg?

  And it is astonishing to watch. And then the two of them just scurry off. And they're not like caught or charged for this. And then the palazzo just like put out a statement. But like, they didn't get caught? I don't understand. How? How did they make it out of that place?

  I know. And it says the chair's been restored. It's back on display. So since there was no lasting damage done, it's, you know, we can laugh at it. But he's got to live the rest of his life, you know, with this reputation. And, you know, this did happen to Rayna. She

• 57:23Rayna Greenberg?

  So do I.

• 57:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  She broke this bike in Italy. But as it turns out, people found that that bike had previously been broken.

• 57:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. So I went to this little town in, on the east coast of Italy. And there was this bike. I hung my Prada bag on it because I wanted to like flex and take a photo. And the bike snapped in half. And it was this antique, beautiful bike people go to take photos in front of. And people got mad at me in the comments. And I would just like to say, the bike was already broken.

• 57:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. So people were finding photos of the same spot. It's a photo spot that a lot of people go to. So like people were finding that same spot from months prior with a broken down bike in pieces.

• 57:59Rayna Greenberg?

  The city's called Stuni. It's the white city. There's like this blue door and people go to take photos in front of it. Yeah, people were mad at me. And I just want to come out and say, that bike was broken before me and my Prada ever got to it.

• 58:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly. Okay, let's end this with Sabrina Carpenter's clapback. It's clapback season. Gavin Newsom is leading the charge, but Sabrina's right there behind him. So her new album is out titled Man's Best Friend and that's going to be in August. But she dropped the single from it, Man Child, which was, I think it was released the day of like the Elon and Trump fight, which was insane, the timing of that. So she released it and then she did some like visuals and photos and they're all, you know, very sexually charged as she is. And of course, people had men, stupid men had something to say.

• 58:41Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. So somebody got in there and said, does she have a personality outside of sex? And she, I love a clap back. Yeah. Girl, yes. And it is gooood.

• 58:51Rayna Greenberg?

  You're gonna, yeah, she has a personality outside of sex. The photos are great. The music's great. She's releasing like the Songs of Summer. Get over it.

• 58:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, yeah. I mean, that's such a critique. Any woman doing anything that has any sort of sexual aspect of it, comedy included, all women talking about sex, all that. Also, so what if it is?

• 59:10Rayna Greenberg?
