  Welcome to the snack, a lighter serving of Girls Gotta Eat.

  This is a Dear Media production.

• 0:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Enjoy.

• 0:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Hi, guys.

• 0:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hi, guys.

• 0:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, my God. I miss you guys so much.

• 0:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ah, we're back, bitches, unfortunately.

• 0:15Rayna Greenberg?

  For now.

• 0:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm kidding. We are. We took some time off.

• 0:19Rayna Greenberg?

  It was, we've even been in this studio space for a month.

• 0:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  It feels good to be back.

• 0:24Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I missed it so much. I popped in here the other day to like bring us our iPads, which we're now using. And like the smell. I was like, I miss the smell of this office.

• 0:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  This office.

• 0:35Rayna Greenberg?

  I miss your musk.

• 0:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, we did. Like, you know, I really, thank you guys for, you know, understanding and allowing us to take the most time off we've ever taken off in a month. And it felt good. I feel recharged.

• 0:48Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't.

• 0:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  But we missed a lot.

• 0:51Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you know how horrible it is for me when we don't have a snack episode and stuff's happening in the world?

• 0:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  Last week was a lot going on.

• 0:58Rayna Greenberg?

  I also had a crazy thing happen to my dating life that we've not discussed. We'll talk about it on Monday's intro.

• 1:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  For Monday.

• 1:03Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, I just like, what's the point of living?

• 1:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  So we're back, you guys. We missed you. And, you know, thanks for understanding. And this, now we'll be pretty much back to normal. I mean, we take off like Labor Day and, but, you know, we're here.

• 1:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 1:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  We have iPads, hard launch.

• 1:17Rayna Greenberg?

  I've been teasing, I've been threatening to get us iPads for months. That's just like, stop saying iPads.

• 1:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. And talk about these fucking iPads. Like, in the middle of so many other things, she's like, well, the iPads, I was like, if you bring up, say iPads one more time. Say iPads one more time. Just buy the iPad. I don't care.

• 1:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Buy them.

• 1:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  I've never had an iPad in my life.

• 1:33Rayna Greenberg?

  This is our first iPad.

• 1:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm excited. I'm excited to travel with it. I'm gonna fly a fucking American and they have no screens.

• 1:39Rayna Greenberg?

  I know. I've never had one. Oh, and I can read a book on it and I don't have to lug books around with me.

• 1:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know, I'm still gonna be bringing books.

• 1:45Rayna Greenberg?

  You're gonna bring books?

• 1:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm not.

• 1:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Bring my books and leave it places?

• 1:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm not kidding.

• 1:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  Raina, I did borrow a book of yours and I was gonna accidentally leave it in Greece.

• 1:58Rayna Greenberg?

  Like you accidentally left my $120 hat on the deck of that boat?

• 2:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I did not.

• 2:04Rayna Greenberg?

  To be honest, you did. And then I was like,

• 2:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  I didn't know what you're talking about.

• 2:06Rayna Greenberg?

  That bucket hat that you wore. And then I was like, I didn't even bring up you left this on the deck. And you're like, no, I thought you wanted it. Later you were like,

• 2:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Wait, what are you talking about?

• 2:13Rayna Greenberg?

  In Greece, when you left my bucket hat upstairs.

• 2:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Cause I was wearing it?

• 2:17Rayna Greenberg?

  You were wearing it. You took it off. And I was like, I didn't say anything that you left my bucket hat there.

• 2:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  I didn't get off the boat.

• 2:21Rayna Greenberg?

  No, no, you just went downstairs without the hat.

• 2:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  The boat, the hat was on the boat.

• 2:24Rayna Greenberg?

  What if it blew off?

• 2:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  We had hours, we had hours left on the boat. What's the problem here?

• 2:29Rayna Greenberg?

  It blew off the boat. Anyways, back to my book.

• 2:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I left this book because I was like, I don't want to log this book around for the rest of the trip. And I was like, I'll just accidentally leave it for the next people that stay here. And if Raina really wants this book, she'll, I'll buy her another copy. And then Jackie spotted it and she was like, you left your book. And I was like, oh, weird. Okay.

• 2:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  And then, and she was like, I was like, honestly, I'm done with it. And she was like, can I take it? And I was like, yeah. And I don't, I think we've all been there. Like, there's some things you just, you leave behind.

• 3:03Rayna Greenberg?

  So if I lent you a book and you, I would never, ever, ever, unless my dying mom signed the inside page or something.

• 3:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  You don't want it back at all.

• 3:12Rayna Greenberg?

  It's not that I don't want it. Like, what, I don't, I would never think about it ever again.

• 3:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm not in the business of stealing your books. I have your wedding people and I was planning on bringing that back to you.

• 3:22Rayna Greenberg?

  That's a hard cover.

• 3:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's a hard cover. I'd give that back. So that's the differentiator.

• 3:25Rayna Greenberg?

  The line. I need a hard cover. Also, I leave my books in hotel rooms always. If you and I are on the road or I'm on a long trip.

• 3:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Here's a book.

• 3:33Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm not lugging this back.

• 3:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's like, you know, you see sometimes like in communities, they have like a community book drop. Take a book, leave a book. That's what we're doing in hotels. Take a book.

• 3:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Here's a book.

• 3:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  And honestly, I was leaving my book in Paris, too, but Brittany was like, what's up with that book?

• 3:47Rayna Greenberg?

  I was like, take the book.

• 3:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Jackie called me out. She's like, here, you left your book. I was like, oh, so weird. Don't tell Reyna.

• 3:55Rayna Greenberg?

  If you never mentioned it, I never would have known.

• 3:57Ashley Hesseltine?

• 4:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm excited.

• 4:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just gonna start with my LaBouboo. I got one for my birthday. You guys knew I would. My fiance got it for me.

• 4:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Which color did you get?

• 4:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  I got the pink. This is lychee berry.

• 4:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, they have names?

• 4:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, they have names.

• 4:41Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, I never knew that.

• 4:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 4:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Wait, that's so cute.

• 4:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  And if you guys don't know, I mean, you get like a sealed box and you don't know which one it is.

• 4:50Rayna Greenberg?

  I know.

• 4:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  So it's, listen, it's not what I would have picked. I said on air I wanted a neutral color and someone in the comments was like, she didn't want pink.

• 5:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  Rihanna's is pink.

• 5:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 5:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  And it matches the studio.

• 5:04Rayna Greenberg?

  I love this one.

• 5:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  And it's fine. And so, um, yeah, I got this on my birthday and I brought it with me. Like, I brought it. I left the next day. I went to DC and then I was in Delaware and then I was in Toronto. And like, I had it attached to my bag the whole time.

• 5:18Rayna Greenberg?

  No, okay, I took a picture of this for you and I don't have it with me because we're on our iPads and I'll have, I'll be better next time. I was in the airport in Paris and I saw somebody with 10 LaBoubous attached to their bag.

• 5:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's a serial killer.

• 5:29Rayna Greenberg?

  10. It was like one of those giant base bags.

• 5:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, come on.

• 5:31Rayna Greenberg?

  There was 10. It just surrounded the top of the bag on all over the handles.

• 5:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's insane.

• 5:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Insane.

• 5:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  And that's weighing you down.

• 5:38Rayna Greenberg?

  I was taking pictures of it just openly. I didn't even pretend I wasn't. That is a crazy. I didn't even think about the weight.

• 5:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's what I'm saying.

• 5:45Rayna Greenberg?

  That's crazy.

• 5:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like the base bag is already your whole body weight.

• 5:49Rayna Greenberg?

  It's just the biggest bag. Yes.

• 5:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  If you have carried the Weekender through the airport on your shoulder, you're entitled to financial compensation.

• 5:59Rayna Greenberg?

  Talk to your insurance company.

• 6:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Talk to your insurance company. But yeah, so anyway, so that's really the tea and someone sent me a real, like a news clip of saying that some people have found microchips in their LaBubus, which I think is like, was probably, may have happened in like, a fake one. I don't think that like China is spying on us via LaBubu, but they're spying on us regardless.

• 6:21Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, there's nanny cams in everything at this point.

• 6:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly. Like your phone, TikTok. I mean, they have all your info.

• 6:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 6:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  So what's one more?

• 6:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Who cares?

• 6:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hidden camera.

• 6:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I don't know, like, I'm just very, like, how much longer am I gonna care about this?

• 6:37Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know. What are you gonna put it on?

• 6:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I think on my bag when I'm traveling, it's gonna be on there.

• 6:42Rayna Greenberg?

  On the base bag?

• 6:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, it looked cute.

• 6:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 6:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  I felt so stupid. I like took a picture, like a selfie. I was in the lounge. I was like, this is the dumbest shit ever, but I love it.

• 6:51Rayna Greenberg?

  It is so stupid, but like you look at it and like, you're like, they're in a club, an exclusive club of people that like this shit.

• 6:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  It makes me happy and it is Azul coated. The teeth really, I feel like they remind me of Azul.

• 7:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, well, you got that for your birthday. I have a belated birthday gift for you. Um, I brought back from, listen, I don't, if you guys are watching, it's in this really nice Celine Paris bag. It's not from Celine.

• 7:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. I walked in, I was like, Raina, you really went all out. You're like, I did not.

• 7:17Rayna Greenberg?

  One time for Christmas, I bought you YSL bag, so it's not totally outside of the realm of probability, but I don't have gift bags and tissue paper at my house. Does that surprise you about me? It surprises me about me. That I don't have just like a stock of it somewhere.

• 7:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I can't picture you going out and buying it to stay stocked. But I can picture you saving a nice bag, which is clearly what happened here.

• 7:39Rayna Greenberg?

  I've had, I have one bag in my house that's not from Aragon.

• 7:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  What's that Celine bag from? You bought something for yourself?

• 7:44Rayna Greenberg?

  I bought something one time. I don't even remember what it was. I don't even know where this came from.

• 7:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  You don't know what you own from Celine?

• 7:49Rayna Greenberg?

  I have no idea.

• 7:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's true.

• 7:51Rayna Greenberg?

  That can't be true. And it's not because I'm like so rich. I don't think I own anything from Celine.

• 7:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is a bait and switch for me.

• 8:00Rayna Greenberg?

  So Sally, who is our partner in Vibes Only, she brings stuff to my house a lot, and I think this is her bag.

• 8:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, yeah.

• 8:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Anyways, okay, don't tissue paper it either. So I crumbled up white printer paper.

• 8:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my god, it's so lightweight.

• 8:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, I crumbled up white printer paper as a tissue paper for you.

• 8:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Guys, you know Raina is so crafty. What is this? Stop it! No! What is this? Is this another one?

• 8:23Rayna Greenberg?

  I got you the color you wanted.

• 8:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is insane. What in the world?

• 8:33Rayna Greenberg?

  You said you wanted a neutral color?

• 8:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  So you just one-upped my fiance?

• 8:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 8:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I'll let you guys have your little moment. You guys, this is the official Celine LaBubu.

• 8:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Raina, I'm so dead. Thank you so much.

• 8:51Rayna Greenberg?

  You're welcome.

• 8:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Wait, is this real?

• 8:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know.

• 8:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  There are ways to tell.

• 8:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, it says the fake LaBubus have 11 teeth and the real ones have nine. Count the teeth.

• 9:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  It does look a little fake.

• 9:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Raina, I think this is a LaFufu. Its feet are backwards.

• 9:13Rayna Greenberg?

  That's probably because I was fucking with them.

• 9:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Guys, this is so fake. Raina, you can feel the difference. Where did you get this?

• 9:21Rayna Greenberg?

  I got it in London for you.

• 9:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, it's so fake. The tag? Yeah, there's all these ways to tell. The ears? I am dead. Yeah, so this is definitely fake. And I love that.

• 9:34Rayna Greenberg?

  The bodega in London I bought it at.

• 9:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  You just got this on the street?

• 9:39Rayna Greenberg?

  I got it inside of a bodega.

• 9:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Little hands are so shitty.

• 9:42Rayna Greenberg?

  The guy let me open up all the boxes.

• 9:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  I am crying. Now the more I look at it, it's like obviously so fake. It's like really shitty quality.

• 9:52Rayna Greenberg?

  The guy let me open up all the boxes to pick the color.

• 9:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  They don't even have the same body. This one's fatter than the real one.

• 10:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Its feet spin around.

• 10:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  The feet aren't supposed to spin.

• 10:09Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, it's all scratched up.

• 10:16Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, my God. I was alone in this pro dago on Brick Lane in London and this guy let me open all the boxes till I found the color I wanted.

• 10:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is, it's so clearly fake now I'm looking at it. And the other thing is the ears. The real one, the ears kind of pointed towards each other. These are just straight out, like spread eagle. You can, look at those cheap little hands.

• 10:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, I didn't know that there was quality Labubus. I'm sorry.

• 10:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Thank you so much. Let me look at yours. I am obsessed with these two.

• 10:45Rayna Greenberg?

  They're a different size. That one looks like it's his dad.

• 10:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, it's just like, this is, this one is this, like this one's Ozempic and this one's not. Oh, yeah. And the head. So that's how you tell also if their heads spin around like this.

• 11:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Does that head not spin?

• 11:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  No. Like, you could try to get it too, but it's like way tighter. Thank you so much.

• 11:09Rayna Greenberg?

  I know you wanted the color. You're welcome. I'm gonna keep this lean bag, just in case I need to gift anything to anybody else.

• 11:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  What a strong start.

• 11:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I was really excited about this.

• 11:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  To our, our return.

• 11:21Rayna Greenberg?

  My friend Lizzie was, she, our friend Lizzie, she's more my friend. She's staying with me. And she was like, why are you crumpling up printer paper? And I was like, it's for a gift.

• 11:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's so, don't break it. It's literally.

• 11:32Rayna Greenberg?

  Why is it so big? It's so much bigger than that.

• 11:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my gosh. Okay. Well, that's the Labubu update. And the next trend we want to talk about is this Nicki Minaj pose, which people are doing. And they're like balancing in this pose that's from her 2013 music video called High School. I don't know who like brought this back, but we'll show it. But in that music video, she's just doing that pose. Her legs are crossed and she's balancing on a heel, but on one foot, on just like.

• 12:03Rayna Greenberg?

  On the floor.

• 12:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  On the, on the ground.

• 12:04Rayna Greenberg?

  On a table.

• 12:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Or by the pool.

• 12:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 12:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I'm, I was trying to find out like, who really brought this back and made it so. Like high level where people are bouncing on like weights.

• 12:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Coke cans.

• 12:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes.

• 12:17Rayna Greenberg?

  It is the craziest thing I've ever seen. They're in like stiletto heels. This one girl, I think in this article is bouncing on a Keurig.

• 12:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  What?

• 12:25Rayna Greenberg?

  A Keurig. Also, a Keurig will crush in half. At least like a can of liquid, I think is less likely to crush in half.

• 12:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I've seen, our friend Kate Steinberg is the first one I saw. And I was like, what in the AI is this? And that's what so many people in the comments were saying.

• 12:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Is this real?

• 12:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. And she showed so many different behind the scenes and like proving that it was real. But she's on top of like a beer can. She's on a, on her countertop.

• 12:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 12:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  I think they're outside. She's like this great outdoor space and a weight, like a big dumbbell and a, what, beer can? And she's on top. I understand. Why would a beer can not crush? I understand like a soup can. But I just thought, I mean, I guess it's one of those crazy.

• 13:09Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 13:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, science things that it won't explode.

• 13:13Rayna Greenberg?

  So Kate's, if you guys like watch her reel, she at least uses her hand to balance herself against the ceiling.

• 13:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 13:19Rayna Greenberg?

  People are doing this like just on a countertop, on a Keurig. I've seen pregnant people do this.

• 13:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my gosh.

• 13:24Rayna Greenberg?

  I saw this one girl, she was like, they said it couldn't be done at eight months pregnant. I'm like, no bitch, it should not be done. It's crazy. And then Hilaria Baldwin got in on it and she's doing it in front of her children. And I'm like, do you need to give little children any more ideas on how to accidentally kill themselves? Like, what are you doing?

• 13:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. Yeah. It's so nuts. Like I saw when she was on top of her car, the top of the car was dented in. I'm like, what are we doing here? Now we're destroying property?

• 13:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, I have to tell you, there is nothing I have ever wanted to see a BTS of more than this trend. How many times are people falling before they make it up there?

• 13:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  And I was watching Kate's, she did a little BTS. And like you said, she can touch the ceiling, but like, that's still scary. It's not enough. It's not enough support. I would crack an ankle. I was trying it this morning. Like, I don't know if I can do it on the floor. Like, it's just.

• 14:13Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I have some real core strength.

• 14:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, like, I'm, so I'm in the, in the pose, I'm on like the ball of my foot. This, I can't believe, so I am balancing right now and I feel pretty balanced, but I'm not on anything. I'm on the floor and I'm not in a heel.

• 14:30Rayna Greenberg?

  A Keurig. Can you imagine a weight? I can't imagine it. I don't think I can do it.

• 14:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just doing that right now makes me like, I'm in disbelief.

• 14:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Cross my leg. I can't get down that far. I can't, I don't have the core strength. I'm gonna have a charley horse.

• 14:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's Charlie horse. So anyway, more power to you. I mean, I'm impressed. Like, it's one of those things, you know, like most things you see and you're like, oh, that looks easy enough. This is not one of those things. I've, I'm seeing people do this and I'm thinking, that's not real.

• 15:00Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't squat like that on the floor in tennis shoes.

• 15:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 15:04Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't do it. Pregnant on a, on a cabinet.

• 15:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so we actually asked Kate about this, cause it looked so psychotic. We were like, were you scared? Were you fearing for your life? Was your fiance fearing for your life?

• 15:17Rayna Greenberg?

  You know, I like need the BTS, cause I'm like, how many takes does this take?

• 15:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes. So she, that voice noted us back and gave us her official quote, but we'll, I'll paraphrase it for you guys. So she says, "I will never do that again. I filmed this at 10:30 at night with Chad, her fiance, who we love." She was like, "I think I can do this. It probably took like 15 takes, four cans. He was pleading with her to get down." She said, "I had no business being up there," but she was a cheerleader. She's like a professional, you know, she's got that like cheerleader dancer side. She said, "I really thought it was nothing. The cans were busted. I fell about three times. I yelled at Chad at one point and just said, 'Let me fall.'" She said, "I did fear for my life, but have you ever seen that movie Free Solo?" Like, yes. Like, she felt like Free Solo.

• 16:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Four cans. After two cans, she was like, "Let's do, let's run it back."

• 16:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, and I'll play this one, cause this is like her final thoughts.

• 16:08Speaker 02

  Oh, okay, one more thought. Um, and now everybody is like standing on cans. Um, and so I'm like, okay, do I need to like, stand on a needle? Do I, I'm going to Chicago. An actual thought that went through my head was, can I stand on the bean? Mentally unwell. Like, I thought, who can I contact so I could stand on the bean?

• 16:36Speaker 02

  This is a 34 year old. Whose frontal lobe should be developed.

• 16:41Rayna Greenberg?

  Who can I contact?

• 16:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, I gotta get offline. I'm gonna unplug for a bit.

• 16:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Who can I contact at the bean?

• 16:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is how Kate quits being an influencer.

• 16:50Rayna Greenberg?

  She dies.

• 16:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Contacted the bean. She dies. Yeah. This is how she retires. Okay, well, yeah, be safe out there, you guys.

• 16:57Rayna Greenberg?

  Don't do this if you're pregnant, that's crazy.

• 16:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  But then I guess kind of people are like challenging each other, like Kate, you know, they're tagging each other to do it. I'm like, bring me back to the ice bucket challenge. I can handle that one.

• 17:06Rayna Greenberg?

  I wanted, I wanted somebody to challenge me to like lay in bed all day.

• 17:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's my challenge. Okay, so that happened.

• 17:12Rayna Greenberg?

  The biggest news, so I was flying home on Thursday. I was fucked up and you were like, you see this Coldplay thing? And I was like, I promise you, I like had this thought in my head, like, I promise there's nothing to do with Coldplay that I care about. Like, that was my first thought. Like, I am, I've been away for three weeks. I'm so fucked up. I promise you, nothing you could tell me about Coldplay would matter.

• 17:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. You might have been one of the last people to know, quite honestly, because you were on a plane, you had no access.

• 17:38Rayna Greenberg?

  My wife and I didn't work.

• 17:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know, it's one of those things where, you know, I saw it. I was like, this is, this is pretty crazy. This is, has a lot of different layers to it that would like make it really viral and make people really grab on to it. But you really don't know how far it's going to go in that moment. And I don't know the last time I saw something like this. Take, take the world by storm.

• 17:59Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, it's, it's so innocuous, right? Like, it's just somebody on a kids camp. And if they had just acted cool, none of this would have happened. Isn't that crazy? If he had just ducked like that.

• 18:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, but I mean, it's just like, that's one, I think we all would have done that. Like, you're immediately just physically gotten out of the frame. And the fact that Chris Martin is a snitch, for one, but he was just like, called it out. And then it's like a CEO and the HR director, like, it had, in the makings of, obviously, like a movie or a TV show, like, people just latched on to this like nothing I've ever seen. I think this is like the biggest news of our generation outside of like. No, I couldn't think of anything else outside of COVID, January 6.

• 18:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  It ran at work. Like, listen, hear me out, because I know you have some other things that you're like, the internet made this their whole personality. I don't, I can't think of anything else that your parents know. This is, was on the news at my parents' house.

• 18:56Rayna Greenberg?

  It spanned generations.

• 18:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, like, boys, girls.

• 18:59Rayna Greenberg?

  Also, not celebrities. We're not talking about like when Will Smith smacked like Chris Rock and the nation watched these celebrities do this thing.

• 19:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's a good call, the thing that really everybody did know about. Luigi, but like, you know, that's darker. Someone died, well, alleged murder.

• 19:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm just like, I'm gonna stop you right there.

• 19:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  This, this Kiss Cam, like, are we gonna talk about this in 20 years? Like, this, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. So I had shows in Toronto all weekend. What, this happened on Thursday? So Friday and Saturday, I had four shows over the weekend. And I talked about it at every show. I crowd worked it. I'll probably put it up on my Instagram. But in all four shows, I asked, I would bring up the Kiss Cam. I'm like, we have a Kiss Cam here tonight. So if anyone's here cheating on their spouse, now's the time to leave. Like, I was doing a bunch of bits about it. I brought Drake in the mix, like, whatever. And I asked, like, everyone knows I'm talking about, right? And in four shows, one woman did it, which was crazy.

• 19:47Rayna Greenberg?

  What a treat.

• 19:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  That was on Friday. And so shout out to Melanie, who just doesn't really have the internet. And I was like, what a life. How good is her mental health? I don't really have the internet. I don't really go on the internet. I'm like, sis.

• 19:59Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know how.

• 20:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  But in all four shows, one person, like, and I'm in Canada. I know Canada's, you know, very, it's our close neighbor. But like, this, it was worldwide.

• 20:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, but everybody got in on this. Like, they did it on the Colbert Show. Morgan Wallen is at his concert going, if you're here with your side piece, it's okay. At the Oasis concert, they were like, we're not gonna snitch, we don't snitch. Like, all these other musical artists started doing it at their concerts, too. Like, everybody got in on this.

• 20:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  I am doing like a beach picnic for my bachelorette, one of my bachelorettes. And I saw, they posted this morning, they're showing video of like, one of the beach picnics, and the caption said, book your girl a beach picnic before her CEO does. Like, this is just this nice little beach picnic company.

• 20:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  It took me a minute.

• 20:42Rayna Greenberg?

  You just, you hear like this kiss cam at a Coldplay concert, you're like, how far is this gonna go? It's gonna go far. And so that CEO, obviously he's resigned, they have a new interim CEO and that guy is positively giddy. He is gushing that his company is now a household name.

• 20:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, who, everyone is Googling that company. It's an AI company, tech startup. Did you see the meme that said the woman was like dating or she was with some other CEO and they were like, leave some CEOs for the rest of us? That was like one of our favorites, yes.

• 21:13Rayna Greenberg?

  It just, it really like swept the nation and to your point, across like generations, which doesn't really happen. And I was thinking like, what are those things? And there's like very few that are intergenerational about not big celebrities, like regular people. So I made like a list. My number one is Haktua. That swept the nation for me and everybody got in on it. She got really famous from it.

• 21:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but like, I still just feel like it's, that's for people who are on the internet. My parents do not know Haktua. And that's, that's like my bar. It's like, do your parents know? People's grandparents know about the Coldplay CEO. They saw it on their local news programming.

• 21:48Rayna Greenberg?

  Cause it's an every, it's nightly news. I mean, it's an everyman's story. You know, this could happen to all of us. Here's my list. Here's my whole list. Haktua, Luigi, Scandival, but those are really famous people. Scandival was-

• 22:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's just like, half the country watches Vanderpump. I mean, maybe.

• 22:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 22:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's like, you know, I could probably interview, like ask 10 people and half of them would know, half of them wouldn't.

• 22:08Rayna Greenberg?

  That made it to CNN. Pretty crazy. Mudang.

• 22:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, Mudang.

• 22:12Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, I have my money don't jiggle jiggle guy.

• 22:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 22:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, Julia Fox, Uncut Gems interview.

• 22:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, Uncut Gems. I haven't thought about that in a while.

• 22:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, how often do you think about the Roman Empire?

• 22:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but these still feel like they were-

• 22:26Rayna Greenberg?

  And I'm looking for a guy in finance. But TikTok trends.

• 22:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Those are just, those are internet trends for people who are on the internet.

• 22:33Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't think there's another thing that was of this level.

• 22:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, January 6th.

• 22:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Different vibes. Even some people would be like, I don't know what you're talking about. Pray I know. I swear to God. If you said January 6th, I promise you people would be like, it wouldn't be an instant recall. I promise you it would. Mm-mm. I can name two people right now that I thought off the top of my head that I'm like, I don't think that they would instantly know what you're talking about. Everybody in this country knows about the insurrection. Okay. Some of them may have been in support of it. I'm not saying we all share the same feeling. I'm just saying not instant recall of what January 6th was. I totally disagree. Okay.

• 23:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, COVID, can we grant COVID? COVID, yeah, instant recall on COVID.

• 23:17Rayna Greenberg?

  That's because you had to be in the house. That's why I couldn't do about it. Someone's in the comments like, COVID's still a thing. But my side, okay. There's always one. So my like side tangent that I like wanted to, like, you know, this brings up this whole like, you know, privacy and how things go big on the internet and did this guy deserve this? And I just want to say yes. And if you were gonna go to Gillette Stadium where the Patriots play and there's 70,000 seats, the probability that you are going to run into somebody that you know in Boston is so high. And I was thinking about this because you and I lived in New York and LA. I forgot this was Boston, obviously. Obviously it was Boston. Um, you and I were, I've lived in New York and LA and you, when you and I have gone to like a stadium sized concert, like Beyonce, Taylor Swift, there's almost never been a time where

• 24:02Rayna Greenberg?

  a friend of ours wasn't also going to that concert. That's the thing that's happening that night. It is a stadium level event. You are gonna know other people in, in the stadium, one or two. There also are cameras and there's footage. Like I don't, yes, you're in a stadium and stuff is being documented. And that's the thing happening that night. Like when you and I have gone to Beyonce, we know tons of girlfriends that are also going to that. Like it's a stadium level event in a city. It's not the biggest city either. So like to think that no one's gonna see this is so arrogant and crazy. I know. And you can go with your mistress and you can go do these things, but you don't need to be all wrapped up.

• 24:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Also that, like, there's, there's probable deniability that you just took your employee. I went to a concert with our agent the other day. Yeah, 100%. Not so that he could finger me. Yeah, he is a girlfriend. Like you guys were there, you were in a box, you were in like the same type of setting. Literally. And he wasn't grinding on you from behind. Unfortunately. Three years ago he would have, but you know, you missed your shot.

• 25:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I just think it's so wild and I just, I loved all the parodies of it. I mean, I guess it's winding down now, but the first one I loved the most was the Philly Fanatic. And they had like, on at a Phillies game, they had their Kiss Cam playing to Coldplay, like to the Coldplay music. They were like, it's our Coldplay Kiss Cam. And they panned all the different people in the audience and then the Philly Fanatic had his arms around like the girl, Philly Fanatic. That's their mascot. And then the most underrated was a guy they caught in the Kiss Cam and he had a sign up that said, this is my wife. And then we were like, we're giving all the attention to the Philly Fanatic as we should, but this is also so funny too. And I'm just like, a horse Philly jumped on the trend.

• 25:43Rayna Greenberg?

  I wanted also to read a single thing by you. I forget who I said this to the other day and they made me feel like I was like really stupid. I was like, was this, is this the most famous Coldplay has ever been? Like, has Coldplay been on the tongues of anybody like this? But I forget who I was talking to. They were like, yeah, they stole that stadium. They're a really famous band.

• 26:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  Coldplay is huge. They did the Super Bowl.

• 26:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 26:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. Was Chris Martin, it was Beyonce year?

• 26:06Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't.

• 26:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Correct me if I'm wrong in the comments. I don't feel like looking it up. I thought it was Coldplay, Chris Martin, Bruno Mars and Beyonce.

• 26:13Rayna Greenberg?

  I could not tell you.

• 26:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  In the same one.

• 26:15Rayna Greenberg?

  But I didn't like.

• 26:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  They're so huge. They're like a worldwide band where I feel like they were way cooler when they first started and then they became so mainstream that they became uncool.

• 26:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 26:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, I think there were so many memes about like, the more embarrassing part of this is being at a Coldplay concert. Like, people kind of took a moment to shit on Coldplay. And when it comes to that, I just think it's because they became like so mainstream. Because I feel like there was a moment when they were pretty cool.

• 26:40Rayna Greenberg?

  I love Coldplay. I actually love Coldplay. I think they've just been around for like 20 years. You just don't think about it.

• 26:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's become one of those things. Like, it's easy to make fun of like U2. You know, like, remember that U2 album ended up on our iPhones?

• 26:51Rayna Greenberg?

  It's not Nickelback.

• 26:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's almost, it's not the same as Nickelback. They're just like, they've become

• 26:59Rayna Greenberg?

  The butt.

• 27:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, the butt of the joke. But in a way, bands become too popular, too mainstream. They started out as rock, quote unquote, and then everybody makes fun of them.

• 27:08Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, they're just, I really love their music. He was married to Gwyneth Paltrow, right?

• 27:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 27:13Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, he was the most famous person in the world. Yes. I just, I don't know. I, it just, I guess it's basic, is that's what it is. But like, what is it? You know? I did not realize Coldplay was sell out a stadium level at this point.

• 27:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, they're like Garth Brooks. I remember the first time I realized Garth Brooks had it like that. Like, he was in Atlanta at the stadium and like, I knew all these people going, I'm like, what is happening? Like, there's people like that that are so huge still, and like, they're not really on our radar to get tickets.

• 27:42Rayna Greenberg?

  I also, I mean, you guys are gonna make fun of me, but listen, this is not on the same level, but I went to see The Weeknd with our agent at SoFi Stadium, and he sold it out four times. I don't, I don't know that I thought that The Weeknd was a sellout SoFi four, that's our Ram Stadium here. I don't know that I knew that it was like a, I thought it was like a sellout once or twice.

• 27:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's interesting, the people that sell that you're not like so into. Like, obviously, we're like Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Drake. And then you're like, oh, okay, The Weeknd's, okay.

• 28:11Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, if not The Weeknd, then who? I'm like, that's like 250,000 tickets or something, four nights at SoFi, so I don't know. Anyways.

• 28:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. So, yeah, Coldplay's pretty big.

• 28:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just thought that was like, that was so nuts. And that kind of brings us into Colbert. So, as we record, the Late Show on CBS, hosted by Stephen Colbert, last night was the first episode of the last season, which we'll talk about. But they did the whole Kiss Cam thing, and they brought out Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

• 28:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 28:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. And they like played a little Coldplay, and they were like, you know what, this isn't even really about the song. Let's go around and see who's here. And it was, they just panned to like Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver, Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper.

• 29:00Rayna Greenberg?

  It like makes me really emotional.

• 29:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. And then Adam Sandler and Christopher McDonald, because of like Happy Go More 2. And everybody was going crazy. And then they were like the, now, then the last thing they did was, it was like a Donald Trump. Like had his arms around a Paramount, Paramount logo. And then they're like, now it's canceled. Like they played into everything that's been happening, which is that the show was canceled after the season.

• 29:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. So CBS announced that this will be the last season. It'll be over May 20, May 2026. When his contract expires. So CBS says they canceled the show purely for financial reasons. But what other people are saying is it followed just three days after Colbert referred in his monologue to a $16 million settlement paid by Paramount to Donald Trump over a 60 minute lawsuit as a big fat bribe on air.

• 29:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 29:48Rayna Greenberg?

  And that settlement coincided with the pending merger between Paramount and Skydance, which requires Trump appointed regulators to approve. So basically they're saying that Stephen Colbert made a joke about this that could have maybe threatened this deal and threatened Donald Trump. And three days later, they axed the show.

• 30:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. And Donald Trump is gloating on Truth Social, Jimmy Kimmel's next, Jimmy Fallon. Like he wants this. I think that it's not just a coincidence. It's just, it really makes me feel sick. Like it was hard for me to digest the information because I just feel like this is the beginning, not even the beginning, but like this is the cancellation of a dissenting voice for, towards the administration. And like, it's like hard to even talk about like the way that Trump acts as like the president of the United States. Cause it's like, it's so unbelievable. Like he's tweeting about this, like gloat. It's just, I can't even, I can't, I don't even like to validate it. Cause it's like so crazy and it just feels like, where are the free speech advocates

• 30:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  on this one? And where are the like anti-cancel culture people on this one? Like this feels so obvious to me, like why this happened. And I just get worried. I get worried for comedy. I get worried for these types of shows that really do shine a light on this and have opposing viewpoints and comedy in general. But I think it's so crazy. Like, I know that the way this had to play out legally is, I guess, they cancel it, and then they let him, they have one more season left. But I mean, he's gonna be like scorched earth.

• 31:19Rayna Greenberg?

  So I'm like, what's gonna happen for the next year? So I was, I misunderstood the news and I had to like, understand. Like, I thought that this was gonna be the last show, that all these talk show hosts showed up and everybody showed up in solidarity to basically co-sign that this is what they believe happened.

• 31:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 31:34Rayna Greenberg?

  And that this would be the last episode. And I didn't realize until this morning that this was until May 2026.

• 31:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ten months of this.

• 31:41Rayna Greenberg?

  What is gonna happen?

• 31:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, he's told Donald Trump to go fuck himself last night. Like, we are in for it. Like, we can get a lot done in 10 months. Trump is gonna be crashing out every night for 10 months, five nights a week.

• 31:54Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you think that's gonna become the most popular show on television?

• 31:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes.

• 31:56Rayna Greenberg?

  And then people are gonna be like, you can't cancel this?

• 31:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  A hundred percent.

• 31:59Rayna Greenberg?

  That's what I think is gonna happen.

• 32:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  I like, watch it here and there, obviously. And like, I watch clips, of course, but I made sure it's like, in my library. Like, this is gonna be must-see TV. And we both watched Jon Stewart's monologue about this, which was so brilliant. And it was so important. And I want you guys to watch it. And we can put up on our story if you hadn't seen it. But you can go to see Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, his monologue about this. And it ends with this gospel choir. And it's like, a whole thing. And it's so brilliant. And, uh, yeah, I think this is gonna be the most popular show.

• 32:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I really do. I think it's gonna explode. And I think all these other talk show hosts are driving people towards it, too. I mean, Stephen Colbert started in 1999 on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. And I was like, such a fan of him then. And I've just watched him for so many years. Yeah, I'm gonna record this every week now.

• 32:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Jon Stewart was one of my original crushes when he was on MTV.

• 32:45Rayna Greenberg?

  I was a little girl.

• 32:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  He did the news, I think. They had MTV News, remember?

• 32:51Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh my god, MTV News?

• 32:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Kurt Loder.

• 32:53Rayna Greenberg?

  Kurt Loder? He predated Kurt Loder?

• 32:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  He must have been, right?

• 32:56Rayna Greenberg?

  That's crazy.

• 32:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, no, I just remember, I just had a crush on him, like, at a young age.

• 33:01Rayna Greenberg?

  He's hot.

• 33:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 33:02Rayna Greenberg?

  He's still, like, they were showing clips of him from 1999 with Stephen Colbert on The Daily Show. And I was like, he's gotten hotter.

• 33:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's so hot. The Daily Show, and now, um, another just piece of news, we have so much TV news today, but Josh Johnson, who was just blown up, was a writer on The Daily Show. Now he's gonna be one of the hosts, because they alternate the hosts.

• 33:19Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I love it.

• 33:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Obviously, we love Michael Costa, and he does such a great job. And he's a friend. But Josh Johnson is fucking blowing up, right? He's doing, he posted the other day about his 10th Wilbur show. So just a few tickets up to my 10th Wilbur show.

• 33:32Rayna Greenberg?

  At that point, just go to the state, go to Gillette. But he's gone.

• 33:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, he's got incredible material, a lot of political stuff. And so if you guys aren't following him, he's the nicest guy, too. I obviously like would do comedy with him in New York. And anyway, he's a new addition to like the desk at the Daily Show.

• 33:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Wait, what was Chris Stefano hosting last week?

• 33:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Kimmel.

• 33:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  How the fuck do you let Chris Stefano? He had just a smirk on his face like I'm gonna-

• 33:56Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't believe they're gonna let me do that. You and I, do you know how many times you and I have asked ourselves, how did he get on the morning show? He's on The View like, okay, Betsy's, he like, he just, I don't know how you let him on television. He-

• 34:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, he like pushed the envelope. So I guess Kimmel had guest host all last week. Julie Bowen was on top of the desk on all fours.

• 34:16Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, I saw Julie Bowen and I was like, Chris Stefano's wife is gonna beat your ass. I was afraid for Julie's life.

• 34:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I'm sure, I'm sure.

• 34:23Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm sure they had a healthy, I'm sure they had a healthy discussion about it.

• 34:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  So we have so much TV news. Let's just take a quick break and then we're gonna get back into it.

• 34:31Rayna Greenberg?

• 37:17Rayna Greenberg?

  And finally, Skims. I gotta tell you, I got this, like, wild hair on Sunday morning. I woke up and I was like, I need to get rid of all my old bras. And so I just started, like, getting rid of everything that was just, like, not great quality, that kind of, like, peeled up after, like, a bunch of uses and stuff like that. And like, what I was left with was Skims. Like, it is the highest quality. I do their fits to everybody, bras. And that's what I wear, like, pretty much day to day. I like the underwire. It comes in tons of sizes. It comes in every shade of, like, tan, brown, black, white you could ever imagine. So there's so much flexibility into what you buy, but it's my favorite bras. It's my favorite underwear. And I wear their briefs a lot around the house. I think I look so sexy in a boxer brief. And it's just, it's the comfiest. I sleep in it, and the sets are great. And there's a lot to choose from. And I really love the quality. I mean, I really, I got rid of so much stuff from other companies.

• 38:02Rayna Greenberg?

  And I was like, Skims has really held up over time. It's really all I need. I got rid of everything except for like my Fits Everybody bras. And then I have a Fits Everybody Lace Unlined Scoop Bra, which I find really sexy. It's really all you guys will need. So you can check it out. Shop our favorite bras and underwear at skims.com.

• 38:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, we're gonna try to blow through so much TV news, so much happening. I love to see it. There's a lot going on.

• 38:33Rayna Greenberg?

  You know, I need more TV in my life.

• 38:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  I finished The Bear, season four. Loved it. Don't need to talk about it again. You guys know I loved it. And then Stick, I'm so obsessed with. Stick is on Apple. Our friend is the director on it. And I think they find out today if it gets renewed, which is obviously gonna be renewed. It's so incredible. I love it so, so much. So anyway, that's what I've been watching, but we got a lot going on.

• 38:51Rayna Greenberg?

  Tons of stuff coming out, tons of dating, a lot of dating shows.

• 38:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know.

• 38:54Rayna Greenberg?

  So let's start with Harry Jowsey.

• 38:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  So when we recorded with him, he, on his podcast, he was getting ready to go fly to Vegas to really finalize this deal. I think he was like teasing it. He told us a little bit about it. He was like, I'm gonna be on this dating show. I'm gonna be like the star. Cause when we went on his podcast, we were saying like, you couldn't be The Bachelor. You're too spicy. You're too unpredictable. And he was like, well, I'm gonna be doing this thing and...

• 39:19Rayna Greenberg?

  It's called Let's Marry a Harry. Alex Cooper's producing it.

• 39:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, okay.

• 39:22Rayna Greenberg?

  And I think they just have like a great working relationship. They just like love each other. It's very cute. And I just love Harry so much. And I'm really excited to watch it, but I'm scrolling Instagram the other day and I see a photo of Harry walking down the street with like, an old, somebody that's at least 20 years older than him.

• 39:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 39:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, blond haired woman, like white blond hair. I'm like, who is this? And I see the headline that says, Harry Jowsey Dating Sia Ahead of His Netflix Series. And I was like, Sia?

• 39:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Sia. Like, Sia doesn't show her face. I've seen her in concerts. She doesn't show her face. She's gonna step out with Harry Jowsey. That's her big reveal. Sia hard launches her face with Harry Jowsey, hand in hand.

• 40:00Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I would, and I get it. I, I had gun to my head. I would have had no idea who that was.

• 40:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. I mean, I guess I could have guessed. I, I feel like over the years, she's shown herself a little bit more, but she's notoriously not wanting people to see what she looks like. And here she is just...

• 40:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Out. I could wipe the white blonde hair, but like I, it was braided and back and I didn't, I thought she was like 30, she's 49, she looks amazing, but I thought she was really young. And I had no, they're holding hands. And then she did post, I almost texted him to be like, are you cheating on me? And then she did post like, um, Harry's doing this new show. I'm going to sign up. Who else is signing up? To like marry Harry.

• 40:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. So it's like a little bit of just a promotional stunt.

• 40:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. I think that they're like probably friends.

• 40:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but they were like, holding hands.

• 40:49Rayna Greenberg?

  I saw it and I was like, Harry's dating a woman 20 years older than him. And I love to see it because somebody emailed us, did you read this email? And was like, Raina was all over Harry during that interview and you're 10 years older than him and you should be ashamed of yourself. I was like ashamed of myself. Harry was all over me.

• 41:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Are you new here?

• 41:05Rayna Greenberg?

  That's insane.

• 41:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Have you ever heard of flirting? Grow up.

• 41:09Rayna Greenberg?

  That email was so hateful. It was like, you should be embarrassed of yourself. Like I'm some old lady.

• 41:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, okay. Sounds jealous. So like, we had him on, that was, um, our last episode we dropped, which was last Monday. And, you know, I'm not going to throw any shade to the show because I hope it does well, his new show. But if you listen to our episode, you might think he's not quite ready to get married because he says, I'm not ready to get married. It's like, it's just very funny. Like, if you know him at all, if you've listened to him on our show, hopefully, like, you're like, that's not marriage material. He's barely boyfriend material.

• 41:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, that's the joke. But is the, is the whole thing at the end of it, like, he has to get married, like on television? They're not going to actually make him get married, right? This isn't like Married at First Sight or like 90 Day Fiance?

• 42:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. Or The Bachelor.

• 42:01Rayna Greenberg?

  I was like, is this gonna happen?

• 42:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's gonna be like when Dale Moss had to propose to Claire. They were like, we're gonna leave the show together. And Chris was like, Dale, you gotta propose. He was like, what? And by the way, can we just interject really quick? Dale is on Bachelor in Paradise. Can you explain to me what's happening? Because Dale is just all over the place with this girl. So Dale Moss, who we put on the map in 2018. We started Dale Moss. He was like a pro athlete, but we had him on in 2018 and we've talked about him throughout the years. And one time he and I went out and I was unsure if it was a date. I wore a backpack, it was a whole thing. And then he went on The Bachelorette with Claire Crowley, the oldest bachelorette to ever grace the screen. They were like, how could she even walk? And it was the best TV. It was like five episodes. They left together, they had to bring in a new bachelorette. It was insane, it was unhinged. And then they like dated and then they broke up, whatever.

• 42:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  And he's, he has, he dated someone else after that who even heard about him from our show. It's, we've had a long like history with Dale and now he's back on Bachelor in Paradise. And Raina, like to see him, they give him the sexiest edit. They act like, they give him like porn-like edits. Like they have this one, they slow it, they do a slow mo. He's spraying sunscreen into his swim trunks, which is also weird. Why? And every woman is just like licking their lips over him. Like when Dale enters the, not even villa, they're in like a hotel this time. It's different vibes. The lobby? It's like everyone is so horny for him. And I guess he's kind of been with this girl, Kat, and there's been some drama. I turned it on for a little bit last night because they brought in the Goldens. So the old people are there now.

• 43:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  As you wrote in, on our outline, actually they brought in the olds. Yeah, they brought in the olds. Because I was like, how is this going to play out? And anyway, we don't have much to say because we haven't been watching it week to week. Because there's just been so much going on and you know, we've been doing other stuff. But the, the Golden contestants are there now. And like, I don't think it's supposed to be any sort of thing where one of the younger contestants hooks up with the older contestants. But they're, they're talking and they're co-mingling and they're giving each other advice. And I think that's supposed to be like the feel-good aspect of it all. But I can't really speak on how they're doing this. But Raina, I will say, this Bachelor in Paradise, the way that it's set up is completely different than years past. They're not on the beach anymore. They're like in this hotel, they have air conditioning. The old people can't get down there without the air conditioning. No, I'm telling you that they're, they've modeled it more like all the other shows that are popular.

• 44:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  It feels much more like, I mean, Too Hot to Handle, Love Island type. Like they have changed it to feel more like what's current. Okay. So anyway, I just thought it was fascinating. Like I'm watching this show, like this is a different show than it used to be, than, than the last season of it. They've completely changed it in terms of the vibes. That's crazy. And then these old people. Which I love.

• 44:36Rayna Greenberg?

  They need air conditioning.

• 44:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm a whole person. Yeah. They need air conditioning. They need a walker. They need wheelchairs on site. Okay, next TV news.

• 44:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Lena Dunham has a new show and it's just, Girls is one of my top five all-time favorite shows. I feel like nothing has really filled the void since then. It really was for like millennial women and this like coming of age, early twenties, you know, first entering the world type of era. And I don't know, for me, nothing's ever filled that void. And so she's come out with a new show, it's called Too Much. And it stars Megan Stalter. And basically, she goes through a pretty terrible breakup and has to watch her ex carry on this relationship with Emily Ratajkowski. And so she decides to move to London and kind of just like, give it a go in London. And she meets this guy, I can't remember his name, but he was in White Lotus. He was Audrey Plaza's husband in White Lotus.

• 45:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, okay.

• 45:24Rayna Greenberg?

  And listen, she's great. Anything Lena Dunham creates, I think it's smart, it's witty, it's realistic to how people engage with the world. This character's a little quirkier. I feel like Girls was a little more realistic to how people really act in the world.

• 45:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, so I'm obsessed with her, that she really broke out on hacks. I think she is laugh-out-loud funny on hacks. So I love that she's the leading lady now. And she's been on this press tour in these insane outfits. She wore this wig that hit the ground on a talk show. She had, what, a tube top that was like...

• 46:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Made of Coke boxes.

• 46:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  She had that, but then she had like, the one that said like, Megan Stalter is the most beautiful woman in the world, or something like that. Like, she's really been going all out and having so much fun. And she also has...

• 46:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Megan Stalter is the prettiest girl in America.

• 46:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, and she also has these crazy outfits in the show. And it feels very Carrie Bradshaw-esque, you know? Like, they're dressing her in such a way that really like grabs your attention and is like a talking point. And so I just found a quote from the costume designer, Ariel Cooper Lethem, and she says... She's putting things together in a way where you're like, oh, that's crazy, but I like it. And I like her, says again, the costume designer about like her stylings. And then she said she's a little unhinged. And that's like, how it feels. Like, I don't know, I like, yeah, the average person wouldn't wear some of these things. But also, like, I feel like we're in this era where you can just wear whatever the fuck you want.

• 46:51Rayna Greenberg?

  That's, that's fashion today.

• 46:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  It really is. Like, of course, there's still headlines and think pieces about what's in and what's out and what jeans are in, what jeans are out. And it's like, no one cares anymore. Like, I'm not saying those are obsolete or they're not meaningful. I still like to read about fashion and see the trends, but like, no one gives a fuck anymore. And I mean, I think Gen Z has played a part in that and COVID has played a part. And we're just in this, like, wear whatever the fuck you want. And like, no one's going to tell you that your jeans are out of style. You're like, I don't care, I feel good in them, I look good in them, I'm confident. Like, we've really gotten to that place. I feel that wholeheartedly, where people have stopped thinking about what's in and what's out.

• 47:26Rayna Greenberg?

  I totally agree. And I, I don't know, I see people throw together some things, like combos that like, would be kind of like whack on the surface. But you're like, they're rocking it. Like, to me, that's, to me, that's fashion.

• 47:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 47:37Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm not doing side parts.

• 47:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Listen, let's not get crazy.

• 47:42Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I never did anything besides a middle part. So I didn't even know side parts were an option.

• 47:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  I used to a long time ago.

• 47:47Rayna Greenberg?

  You side parted it?

• 47:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 47:49Rayna Greenberg?

  How hardcore was the side part? Where was it?

• 47:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was, I mean, it was like, center left, I guess.

• 47:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 47:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like my politics?

• 48:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I had heard that a middle part made your nose more prominent. I don't know, I read that forever ago. And I had a bigger nose. This is my, you know, second version.

• 48:12Rayna Greenberg?

  My forever nose.

• 48:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, this is my forever nose. And so I had heard that and I was like, I don't want that. So I side parted my hair for years because of that. And then I just was like, eh, I don't know, I think I'm fine.

• 48:23Rayna Greenberg?

  I want to be straight up the middle.

• 48:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 48:25Rayna Greenberg?

  I've always been straight up the middle.

• 48:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Politics and all.

• 48:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Your side part speaks to your political leanings.

• 48:34Rayna Greenberg?

  That's who I know he voted for.

• 48:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Her parts to the right.

• 48:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, a couple more dating shows. So Nick Viall and his wife Natalie, they co-host The Viall Files. They are, they have a pretty prominent age difference. He's 44, she's 26. People have talked about it a lot over the years. Now they have filmed and are hosting a dating show about age differences. The, the daters range from 22 to 59.

• 48:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Bachelor in Paradise did it first. Just kidding. No, but this, the, this, the point is that like age gap relationships, like these people are gonna get together.

• 49:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, so it's called Age of Attraction and like-

• 49:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Is Bill Belichick gonna be on this?

• 49:09Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh my gosh, can you imagine they have a cameo and they like talk to these couples about how to make it work?

• 49:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes.

• 49:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I love this to me-

• 49:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's the coach.

• 49:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Phil Belichick comes in, they're like the winningest coach in Super Bowl history and age gap relationships is Bill Belichick.

• 49:25Rayna Greenberg?

  You know what I love about this is that I think that people have like made commentary about Nick and Natalie's age difference and it being so prominent and they capitalized on it by like, yeah, we're gonna host a show on it. And we're gonna make a bunch of money because of it. So, good for the two of them.

• 49:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  And the next dating show that's coming out, Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristow are going to co-host a new dating show for virgins called Are You My First? Reina, you know what I've been saying all these years while we watch these dating shows, you know, get spicier and spicier is we need more virgins. Where are the virgins?

• 50:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Honestly, I'm, I'm kidding, but kinda serious. I love this.

• 50:07Rayna Greenberg?

  There's been a couple and they became like nationwide stars. Remember Maddie, Maddie Pruitt? She said that she was a virgin. I only know that because I get so unfortunately served for her content.

• 50:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Let's deep dive on that later.

• 50:20Rayna Greenberg?

  I could do a whole episode on her content. It's about her porn addiction.

• 50:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Your body is not your own, it's Jesus's man.

• 50:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, we don't have the time.

• 50:32Rayna Greenberg?

  If you find comfort in that, good for you.

• 50:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  We don't have the time today, but, okay, no, she's like an evangelical like priest, her and her husband.

• 50:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, and they've talked about their porn-

• 50:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  There's nobody's bedroom I wanna be a fly on the wall more than Maddie and her husband, Reina. What is going on?

• 50:48Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know!

• 50:51Rayna Greenberg?

  Every time I get served their TikToks, I'm like, I'm here for it. I just, I love to watch it. But, okay, so for this show, are you my first new dating experiment where virgins navigate love, lust and losing it?

• 51:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Are they gonna lose it?

• 51:05Rayna Greenberg?

  How do you win the show?

• 51:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  It feels like we've gone too far.

• 51:08Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you, do you win the show by keeping a virgin the whole time?

• 51:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, I am so sad for this show, by the way, to watch all these people who have never had sex, like, talk about it and get to decide if someone's worth, like, I can't wait to watch this. And we love Caitlin, and we've always supported Caitlin.

• 51:27Rayna Greenberg?

  She used to date me all.

• 51:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  So Caitlin, right now, is having all the previous bachelors and contestants that she dated on her podcast. Have you watched this?

• 51:37Rayna Greenberg?

  I did not put this together.

• 51:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so she's doing, like, this thing where she's having all of them on. And I just have to say, this one quote from this guy named JJ, which I don't really remember, I don't think he was that well-liked, but I could be wrong. This quote from him, I was obsessed with it. He goes, he's talking about just like, when they found him to get him on the show, he was like the lowest of lows. He was divorced, he was unemployed. And his quote is, "We weren't the most eligible bachelors. We were thirty guys who had nowhere to be on Tuesday at 2:00 P.M. Your eligible bachelors are in the office at their law firms. Ladies, stop idolizing us. We're not the ones."

• 52:11Rayna Greenberg?

  I, I loved it. I thought he nailed it so hard.

• 52:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes.

• 52:13Rayna Greenberg?

  He articulated what I thought, like, who goes on this? Who has the time?

• 52:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly. And that's why it's like, and it feels different for women, but that, like, but that's why we've said, like, these shows have gotten so bad because of the guys.

• 52:27Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, yeah, absolutely.

• 52:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Anyway, that was an aside.

• 52:29Rayna Greenberg?

  And I forgot that Colton was famously, he was the virgin bachelor. That's why this is like a thing. I forgot. But like, how do you win the show? Do you lose your virginity, or do you hold on to your virginity? Like, if you fuck on the show. Are people fucking on the show? Like, please God, let someone fuck on the show.

• 52:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, like, I can't wait for the show. The stakes are so high.

• 52:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't wait. And the virginities.

• 52:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  This, it's like, the prize, or the crime is sex and no one's had it. I can't wait.

• 53:01Rayna Greenberg?

  The prize is that you lose your virginity to some, are there gonna be fantasy suites? Where you can decide, and there's just blood on the bed, and like, production has to like, clean it up. I'm thinking about logistics. So this premieres on Hulu, August 18th. I cannot wait, can't wait.

• 53:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Wait, where are we gonna be? Are we gonna be, well, we'll have my bachelorette the next weekend.

• 53:24Rayna Greenberg?

  That's one of the activities I make everybody do.

• 53:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my gosh. Okay. And then just one last thing. As summer, I turned pretty, has started. Two episodes are out. I was so excited. I got to watch it with my mom last week, which she loves the show too. And it's a, it's a roller coaster. Like, I know you don't watch it, so I'll keep this short, but I'm very into it. Historically, I've always been Team Jeremiah, but some things have transpired. And I'm gonna do a couple spoilers, but like, I'll say to you, that like, he basically, she kind of finds out that he sort of cheated on her when they were on a break.

• 53:53Rayna Greenberg?

  He finds out that he cheated on her?

• 53:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  She finds out that he sort of cheated on her in Cabo, when they were like, on a break, in college, whatever. But the thing that like, really turned me off for him is that he is not gonna graduate college. He didn't have enough credits, which is very Raina-coded.

• 54:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Basically, like, he didn't even know. And it's such an

• 54:13Rayna Greenberg?

  Ew, that would be the X. How do you not know?

• 54:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  So he's like, I have to go back for another semester. And he like, calls his dad. His dad's like, you're such a loser, Conrad, whatever. Like, it's like, a whole thing. But I was like, ew, like, I get it. He's young, but he like, doesn't have his shit together. And so now I feel like I'm a little out on him. Less about the cheating, more about like, get your shit together.

• 54:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Definitely. You know that you didn't get enough credits to graduate. I always knew.

• 54:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  And more than just one class to take over the summer. Also, it's TV, but like, in my head, I'm like, he could make this up over the summer, unless it's like, a lot of classes.

• 54:41Rayna Greenberg?

  We like, barely had the internet when I was in college, and I knew that I was graduating.

• 54:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  And so Conrad is still not for me. I just don't like his whole like brooding, tortured vibe, whatever. But like, it is getting spicy. And now, at the end of the second episode, they got engaged. Belly and Jeremiah are engaged. How old are they? These kids. We have a child bride storyline. What the fuck? I know. And anyway, the thing that I thought was kind of interesting was that the summary turned pretty on their socials. And it's even pinned in one of their highlights pinned. It's in one of their highlights is like, there's like, community guidelines. Because I guess people really started trolling the show for various reasons. And we don't need to like, go down this road. But it's just like, the fact that there's like, people online that are like harassing the actors. Like, it's so, I don't know. It's like, kind of, I find that like, very sick to do that, where like, a show has to be like, here's our community

• 55:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  guidelines. You guys like, keep it. I've never seen a show have to do that. And I've seen terrible people in television. But they're not the first show to do that. I think they were saying there's, I was reading an article, there's a couple of their shows that have had to do that. And like, kind of like, we will block you, and we will delete comments. Like, we're gonna, we're trying to keep this like, a safe space. But I, you know, I love the show so much. But like, at the end of the day, like, I have to remind myself, it is like, a little unhinged that the whole show is about a teenage girl in a love triangle with two brothers.

• 55:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, you know, I don't really get down with shows about teenagers dating. But the two, she's between two bro, like, that's crazy. She's fucked them both. That's crazy. And like, she's all mad at him for cheating and sleeping with somebody else. But he's like, you fucked my brother. Like, say it, Jeremiah.

• 56:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm so glad that you brought this up. I just have to tell you, I, this is totally as, this, this is totally disconnected. But I flew to London on British Airways a couple of weeks ago. And I flew back from Paris on Air France.

• 56:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 56:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I watched Anora on the way to London, on a screen on an airplane, full nudity, fucking tits, everything. Children are walking by me. There is full nudity on the plane. And then on my way back, I watched, there was nothing else on this airplane except for White Lotus. And so I watched Patrick Schwarzenegger get jerked off by his brother. White Lotus was the only thing, just getting jerked off by his brother, just in the middle of the plane. Again, there's children all around me.

• 56:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes. Like, I watched Bros, Billy Eichner's movie. There's a gay orgy. There was a little boy catty corner to me. I was on the aisle. I'm like, that boy has found his sexuality. Wherever it is, he has found it.

• 57:09Rayna Greenberg?

  I was like, I'm watching eight, four naked men, fuck. What was the airline for that? It was like American, it was like an American airline, right? There would never be, because they don't have screens, but. Oh, right. Delta or United? I do not remember, but I was, these, we are watching porn on these planes. It was a domestic flight, though, like within the United States. I just thought, like, look how advanced, like, London is and France. Oh, no, I'm on a domestic flight, watching bros. So funny. Which I do love. I can't recommend it enough. Why are we not muting this stuff? And like, literally, kids are watching, walking by in full frontal nudity. Crazy. I love it. Not having kids, not my problem. But if I was a parent? If I was a parent, I saw Anora. Do you know how inappropriate Anora is?

• 57:51Rayna Greenberg?

  She goes over to his house to like, for the first time, to like, strip for him in his home. And she like, takes all of her clothes off, and is doing like this dirty dance. She takes her panties off. Face down, ass up. Yes. Yes. Children, just little kids walking by, crazy. Okay, well, let's talk about our other partners, and then we will go through our headlines, and that'll be it. And that's all that. This is an ad by BetterHelp. All right, let's talk about stress in the workplace. So, workplace stress is now one of the top causes of declining mental health, with 61% of the global workforce experiencing higher-than-normal levels of stress. I mean, it makes sense. Again, not at our job. I love our job. But, um, obviously, it's the thing that you do all day, every day. And if you're not completely satisfied, I understand it being really debilitating, and not knowing what you want to do next, and how to manage it, and do I stay, do I go? What are the goals and what's next?

• 58:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, and I am telling you guys about Simply Pop. We are so excited. Simply has launched a new prebiotic soda, Simply Pop, the new juicy soda. There are five flavors, pineapple, mango, lime, strawberry, citrus punch, and fruit punch. We love this. I mean, I obviously like, who doesn't want something that's going to be prebiotic? That's going to taste great, made with real fruit juice. 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.

• 1:00:18Ashley Hesseltine?

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

• 1:00:40Rayna Greenberg?

  All right, well, we're going to close out with our headlines of the week. I gotta tell you this, so Charli XCX got married.

• 1:00:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:46Rayna Greenberg?

  It seems like very un-Charli XCX to me, to get married. I couldn't envision, it wasn't my business, my main go card.

• 1:00:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Marriage is hot right now.

• 1:00:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm telling you, I, people probably didn't think I was getting married.

• 1:00:59Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't wrap my head around.

• 1:01:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Marriage is back.

• 1:01:02Rayna Greenberg?

  You brought it back. We do start trends all the time and people rip them off from.

• 1:01:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, Charli copied me.

• 1:01:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Charli stole it.

• 1:01:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  She was like, wait, Ashley Hostin's engaged? I guess it's fine.

• 1:01:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Slay. Even the photos, I'm like watching her and she, like, I was watching her in some videos, take photos and I was like, I still can't wrap my head around that this is like actually happening.

• 1:01:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  So.

• 1:01:22Rayna Greenberg?

  It seems so traditional.

• 1:01:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  I didn't know she was in a relationship, I guess. I mean, I'm a fan, I'm not like a stan, I'm not obsessed with her. So I don't know all the ins and outs of her life. I just enjoy her and I like her, but did you know she was in a relationship? Like, this was a hard launch to me, I don't know.

• 1:01:35Rayna Greenberg?

  To me, it was a hard launch, but they've been together for three and a half years. He's also a musician. His name is George Daniel. I didn't, I didn't know.

• 1:01:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  And so they DJed their own wedding. That was the headline we saw. And that would be me, DJ my own wedding. I, I'm, I do have a DJ who, it's like, I'm so excited about him, I'm not gonna. Just let's, I don't want to say right now. I will talk about it later and we'll talk about, we'll have my wedding planner on soon, but I'm so excited about this DJ like means a lot to my fiance and me, whatever. But it's like you're a musical artist. You can't let someone else DJ your wedding. Like, we're not letting anyone else headline my wedding. Like, you're headlining my wedding. You're officiating. Like, you're the star.

• 1:02:13Rayna Greenberg?

  Can you imagine?

• 1:02:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know, like-

• 1:02:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, you're the star, but-

• 1:02:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, like, we're the-

• 1:02:16Rayna Greenberg?

  We're the stars.

• 1:02:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know, like- We're in comedy. Like, we're performers. We're gonna be doing this. We're not hiring other people to be funny at our wedding.

• 1:02:24Rayna Greenberg?

  I think about it all the time. I think about chefs that get married and like, they're-

• 1:02:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right.

• 1:02:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Do they cook the meal? Like, how can you just like deal with it?

• 1:02:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Florists that get married.

• 1:02:31Rayna Greenberg?

  But even like, okay, chefs, I still think you could be like, yes, I want great food at my wedding, but a lot of people could do great food. If you're Charlie XCX, you're like, yeah, I guess a lot of people could do great music, but like, who's better than me?

• 1:02:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly. And I guess, what, he's musical too?

• 1:02:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, he's the drummer for the 1975.

• 1:02:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, okay. What? I didn't know this. Am I like such a boomer? I think that's, what a cute couple. I remember being at Hannah Berner's wedding and like her and Dez like both like headline the wedding. They gave these speeches. You don't, not, you don't see brides and grooms do speeches a lot. I'm like, of course I'm gonna do a speech at my wedding. Of course I'm gonna have the mic at my wedding. What, it's crazy. I know everybody gets, people don't like public speaking. People get nervous, but like-

• 1:03:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  There's a lot of weddings, bride and, brides and grooms don't touch the mic. I can't imagine.

• 1:03:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally. I've actually never really thought about it. I mean, it's so inconceivable to me.

• 1:03:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly.

• 1:03:27Rayna Greenberg?

  If I wasn't marrying you guys, I would be like, when are we carving out time for me to speak? That's insane.

• 1:03:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's insane.

• 1:03:34Rayna Greenberg?

  That's crazy. Brides, brides aren't like, hold my beer.

• 1:03:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, like, that's what I'm saying. Like, it is your day. Everything's about you and you don't want to get on the mic? You don't want to touch the mic?

• 1:03:44Rayna Greenberg?

  I think that's people's worst nightmares and it is my worst nightmare that no one hands me the mic.

• 1:03:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly.

• 1:03:50Rayna Greenberg?

  I would be like, some of you may not know me.

• 1:03:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, like if you guys don't think I'm gonna be on that mic all night long. I'm just gonna be grabbing it from the DJ.

• 1:03:58Rayna Greenberg?

  I should be like, it's time for cake. I have an observation.

• 1:04:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, like, come on.

• 1:04:05Rayna Greenberg?

  That's so funny. You just sporadically get on the mic. No, he's not gonna get on the mic.

• 1:04:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's a girl's gotta eat show.

• 1:04:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Sure, your fiance is not gonna get on the mic.

• 1:04:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  He will. I think he might do something the night before. I don't know, we haven't like planned it out, but like he can do whatever he wants. Like, we are headlining this wedding, all three of us.

• 1:04:22Rayna Greenberg?

  I think he will do something really sentimental and sweet.

• 1:04:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, our vows will be really sweet.

• 1:04:27Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's gonna be emotional.

• 1:04:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Don't even look at me. I just, I, do you know how many times I'm gonna have to run the speech, marry you guys before? Like, I wanna, I said to you yesterday, like, let's start talking about it, cuz I need like a lot of time to prep for this.

• 1:04:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, let's talk about it for the Monday's episode. Okay, so, no, I'm not trying to cut you off, but we were gonna kinda mention something up.

• 1:04:46Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm gonna talk about this for months. What are you talking about?

• 1:04:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so Pete Davidson is pregnant and Raina, I can't believe he hasn't gotten someone else pregnant till now. Like, he gives super sperm energy.

• 1:04:59Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally.

• 1:05:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  How is this the first time he's gotten someone pregnant? Maybe there's been a few.

• 1:05:02Rayna Greenberg?

  She's the least, well, I just, I think some of these other women were like, yes, I mean, I.

• 1:05:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  He dates pro-choice women. There's probably been.

• 1:05:11Rayna Greenberg?

  I was like, listen, I.

• 1:05:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Cause he seems like he would just.

• 1:05:16Rayna Greenberg?

  Hundred percent.

• 1:05:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, Pete Davidson's obviously calling his idea.

• 1:05:19Rayna Greenberg?

  A hundred percent. I think all those women weren't gonna like have a baby with, like, I think, like, a lot of women have their like, I'm gonna save him little moment with him and then they go back to their lives.

• 1:05:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, how many other of his exes saw that news and were like, oh, I've also been pregnant?

• 1:05:34Rayna Greenberg?

  All of them, all of them. She's gonna keep it. Okay, that's cute. Oh, cutie. Not the route we took, but.

• 1:05:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh my God, Elsie, go off, queen. Not the choice I would have made, but I love her. I love looking at her. I think she's so striking. She's so funny. The caption was like, people are gonna know we're having sex now.

• 1:05:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, like now, now people know we're having sex. She put in the mamacita meme. People were talking about the way he was kind of was grabbing her like sweatpants, how hot and sexy it was. I mean, he's sexy for sure. Like you've been saying that for years, whatever, but it's just, I mean, that's, that's happening and you know, good for them. Congrats to them.

• 1:06:18Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I think she has her own following. She's not a quote unquote, like nobody, but like she's the least famous, least A-list household name of anybody he's been with. I mean, when you think like Kate Beckinsale and Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande, I mean, Pete Davidson has been with the A-list of the A-list and she is the least famous of all those people. And it's interesting that that's who he's chosen to start a family with. I think he's just like a hometown guy. I think, I think that like what he really relates to is like, not that level of fame and has chosen to start a family with somebody that's like a little more just, I don't know, just on the same wavelength.

• 1:06:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. Well, I mean, I love this. I love the announcement. Love everything about it. Good for them. We just want to touch on the WNBA a little bit. So the headline, Katelyn Clark WNBA All-Stars Make CBA Statement With Pay Us What You Owe Us Shirts. So in the All-Star game, they use the opportunity to make a bold statement to the league, walking onto the court for warmups in black t-shirts that read, Pay Us What You Owe Us. And I'm just like really liking what's happening in women's sports right now. And I've been seeing even a lot of like fashion, like women in the tunnel, like doing the like walk. They've got stylists now, like stuff men historically did, which you don't, you think more women fashion, but like the ESPYS, the All-Star game, like I'm just seeing a lot more in my feed, talking about them more. Like, I like this. I like what we're seeing. I mean, you can't deny that it just wasn't popular

• 1:07:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  like this years ago. And so I'm really liking it. I hope that equates to more pay.

• 1:07:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Go off.

• 1:07:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. And lastly, Republicans, they are shutting down the House floor to avoid an Epstein vote. So this has been in the news, obviously. I mean, what even to say about it? It's accept everything. But I, I mean, I can't, the Epstein stuff, I just, I wanted to include this because like, let's keep fucking talking about it because this is just like a big talking point. I feel like it's what's somehow.

• 1:08:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  MAGA and his base trusted him on this lol. And so people are melting down and so we wanted to talk about it. And now like the Republicans have shut down the House floor as we record.

• 1:08:17Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know, I'm always like, what else is there to say besides rage and shock? But like, no, I'm not shocked.

• 1:08:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is not shocking.

• 1:08:23Rayna Greenberg?

  Every five minutes, it's like another thing. Like when we included this, I was like, I don't know what else I have to say. But then it's just like, you can't not talk about it.

• 1:08:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, I just, I can't believe people thought this man who was like an accused rapist and a sexual predator and who like wanted a pedophile to be the Attorney General. They were like, we're gonna get some transparency on the Epstein stuff. We believed him when he said he was gonna release the file. What is happening? Why y'all really believe? This man has been lying in y'all's faces for 10 years.

• 1:08:50Rayna Greenberg?

  They invited all those influencers to the White House and gave them the binders, which were just like empty binders full of nothing.

• 1:08:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Pam Bondi is just crashing out every day.

• 1:08:58Rayna Greenberg?

  No, and what, he wrote on this thing saying, we're gonna release the Epstein files and then doing everything in his power to make sure it doesn't happen now.

• 1:09:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  And can I just say, I was so tired of seeing Donald Trump's cankles in my feed last week. I guess he has this little vein issue.

• 1:09:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Little vein issue.

• 1:09:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Why are his cankles in my feed?

• 1:09:12Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, because someone discovered via that photo with his cankles.

• 1:09:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  They don't need to show it.

• 1:09:18Rayna Greenberg?

  That he had this vein disease. And I was looking at it like, who's looking? I wouldn't look at his cankles and be like, they look different today. You know, like, I zoomed in on that photo.

• 1:09:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  They were, his hands too.

• 1:09:27Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, I zoomed into those photos and I was like, it just looks like old man stuff.

• 1:09:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:33Rayna Greenberg?

  Old men that shouldn't be president at this, I mean, it just looks like old man stuff.

• 1:09:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just was like, can we not? Chronic venous insufficiency. The Jon Stewart clip says chronic penis insufficiency, which is very funny. Okay, well, that's our snack for you guys.
