  Welcome to The Snack, a lighter serving of Girls Gotta Eat. This is a Dear Media production. Enjoy.

• 0:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Hi, guys.

• 0:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hi, guys.

• 0:12Rayna Greenberg?

  Welcome back to The Snack. Forgot where I was.

• 0:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Coming to you from New York.

• 0:16Rayna Greenberg?

  From the East Village.

• 0:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Are you in Taiwan?

• 0:21Rayna Greenberg?

  Taiwan?

• 0:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Record in Taiwan? Happy birthday, Cindy Hesseltine. My mom's birthday today are Aries queen, the 27th. Well, the day that this drops will be her birthday. Just want to shout her out. And then I have a celebrity thing just to tell you right off the top. So, well, you can also talk about who you saw on your plane.

• 0:41Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 0:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  But we always, when you fly back and forth from New York and LA, a lot of, you know.

• 0:45Rayna Greenberg?

  A lot of celebs live in both places.

• 0:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, it's a lot. We always see somebody. It'll just be like an SNL cast member or some, Angela Bassett. But we were also with her at Chambajuse. If you know, you know. I saw someone who, this is, I think, the fifth time I've seen her. Can you guess?

• 1:02Rayna Greenberg?

  God damn it.

• 1:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  At this point, she's stalking me.

• 1:06Rayna Greenberg?

  I see her in my head and I don't remember who it is. Okay, you have to tell me.

• 1:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Connie Britton.

• 1:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Connie Britton?

• 1:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Again.

• 1:12Rayna Greenberg?

  Also, we saw her at that Dan C thing.

• 1:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, Raina, at this point, it's been, I think it's been three flights. It might be two. One time at Salty Girl.

• 1:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  And at the Biden event.

• 1:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 1:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  I see her all the time.

• 1:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you think that's the celebrity you've seen the most?

• 1:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, five times.

• 1:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Five times? Okay.

• 1:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Who else would it be?

• 1:32Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know. David Tell is the one that, he's a comedian. He's the one that I've seen the most.

• 1:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but comedians, I feel like, don't count because they're at the clubs.

• 1:38Rayna Greenberg?

  No, not at the, I don't mean at the club where he works. I'm not like, it's crazy. I keep seeing him at his job. No, I've seen him, I saw him at like Bed Bath & Beyond. I've seen him like in these streets.

• 1:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, right.

• 1:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, and then second is, I'm going to get it right, this, Theo James.

• 1:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 1:53Rayna Greenberg?

  He lives in my neighborhood, so.

• 1:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  What a flex. No, but I, she walked by me. She was wearing a mask. Maybe she was feeling a little under the weather. And I'm like, Connie, again?

• 2:03Rayna Greenberg?

  You should just say what's up. I wanted to say what's up when we saw her at the, at the Joe Biden event and then I just forgot.

• 2:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Anyway. I just had to tell you. And then you were with Josh Brolin?

• 2:14Rayna Greenberg?

  He is. I don't know that people immediately know who that is, but he's in a lot of movies. He's in No Country For Old Men, Men In Black, True Grit, Milk. I mean, he's in a ton of stuff. He's so sexy. He used to be married to Diane Lane, and I did see him a couple of years ago when him and Diane were married. And then they broke up and he married, I think, his assistant. I mean, almost eight or nine years ago. I see this guy. He's like, kind of tall, salt and pepper hair. He's wearing this like trucker hat. He's sexy. I'm like, I think that's Josh Brolin.

• 2:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, older vibes.

• 2:42Rayna Greenberg?

  He's 57.

• 2:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 2:44Rayna Greenberg?

  He is salt and pepper hair. He's very sexy. I can't stress it enough. And he kept like fidgeting with the person in the seat next to him and like getting up and doing stuff for them. I'm like, who the fuck is in this seat? Because it's not an adult, because their head was not above the thing. I had relatives with like a four-year-old. And I don't know if that's his kid or something. It was very cute. God, I kept staring at him. He probably was like texting somebody like, "Seat 8A is making it weird."

• 3:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. Connie was like, "This bitch in four."

• 3:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Also, you know, I never know how tall anybody is. I was like, "Ashley, he's so tall." And we're going to talk about heights today. So I looked him up. He's 5'10". I thought he was really tall.

• 3:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's your type.

• 3:21Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 3:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it.

• 3:59Rayna Greenberg?

  It has.

• 4:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Two years, maybe? When do you feel like it started?

• 4:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Short zipper king was years ago.

• 4:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  You're right. Short zipper king, which is the Girl's Gotta Eat deep cut. We don't have time to explain it. If you know, you know. But was probably 2022.

• 4:14Rayna Greenberg?

  It was in Austin in September. That time we went to Austin, it was like 500 degrees out. It was that. Yeah, so 2022.

• 4:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. So I think maybe Short King Spring kind of started in 2022. 2024, big year, because that's when Dunkin renamed their like short coffee, the Short King or something. Like Dunkin' Donuts has always played into this. But we wanted to still, it's still around. It's still a thing.

• 4:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Every spring it's around and we want to lift them up, literally.

• 4:39Rayna Greenberg?

  We want to give them a stepping stool into the world.

• 4:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  We really want to lift them up.

• 4:45Rayna Greenberg?

  You don't even know what you were saying.

• 4:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm funny, even when I'm not trying to be.

• 4:49Rayna Greenberg?

  What is Nikki?

• 4:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Blazer from the Tom Brady roast, she said to...

• 4:52Rayna Greenberg?

  She said, "Let's keep this Kevin Hart," and by that I mean short.

• 4:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  I also thought she said, "You gotta hand it to him because he can't reach it."

• 4:59Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, that's funny.

• 5:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so this came across our desk in an email, some niche local news, which if you guys have funny niche local news, send it our way, [email protected], whatever you want the subject line to be, but say like it's for the snack. But this is a Short King Spring celebration of sorts.

• 5:21Rayna Greenberg?

  So this listener, she's from Lubbock, Texas, and I hope I'm saying it right, but she sent us the fire department there and their Facebook page, and I guess their fire department is full of short kings. And so their post on March 20th, "It's officially Short King Spring and our short kings are standing tall," well, kind of, "in their commitment to keeping Lubbock safe. Remember, it's not about the height, it's about the fight. And these petite princes are ready to roll."

• 5:47Rayna Greenberg?

  And then they didn't give a legal disclaimer, "As an equal opportunity employer, we did not discriminate based on height. They just want you to know they're not trying to find short people. Short people just find them because there's ladders there, you know?"

• 6:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  And then it says, "Want to join the team? Apply now at lubbockfirerescue.com." The pictures are really the highlight here, so please watch this on YouTube. They show a photo of one of the firefighters, like, he's like kind of reaching into a house, probably to put out the fire, but he's like standing on a chair. The pictures they used are, there was another firefighter standing on a bucket. Like, it's pretty insane. And we just thought this was so funny, like, this fire department, I mean, who hurt them?

• 6:31Rayna Greenberg?

  They're, it's weird because I think of Texas as a place that has like the biggest men in the country.

• 6:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 6:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Not this fire department. And they show a picture of the, um, the chief of the fire department. We would be crazy if we forgot our quote-unquote "biggest short king," our police chief. For reference, we did add some schematic, blah, blah. You can, you can read the comment section of this Facebook page. They call these people fun-sized kings.

• 6:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just love, "It's not about the height, it's about the fight." That has to be just the war cry for all short kings. It's not about the height, it's about the fight. Someone wrote, "When is the short king calendar dropping?"

• 7:05Rayna Greenberg?

  This is who gets sent into attics and other tight spaces.

• 7:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  And then this one, I went deep in the comments and found this one that really stood out to me. I had a crush on a wannabe firefighter in high school that was not tall and my dad called him ladder four foot nine.

• 7:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  That is so my dad. That would have been my dad.

• 7:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I want to debunk this. So I like to play this game when I have like long flights usually where I write on my Instagram like just tell me a secret. People tell me, y'all tell me the craziest stuff I've ever seen in my life.

• 7:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 7:36Rayna Greenberg?

  But one of the people said, I'm dating this guy. He's a short king. We haven't had sex yet. I'm scared. I'm scared of like him having a small penis. And I just wanted to debunk, height has absolutely nothing to do with it.

• 7:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 7:48Rayna Greenberg?

  Nothing. I've dated tons of tall guys, small penises. That is jarring when they take their clothes off and proportionally wild.

• 7:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Tall skinny guys are usually slang in. They're usually slang in the D, let me just say. No, but it's funny that someone said that because I feel like notoriously, everybody knows those short kings with those big dicks. But it's also hard to tell because is it an illusion? Because their size, but it's gonna look good.

• 8:11Rayna Greenberg?

  It will look amazing.

• 8:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  You'll know when you feel it, then you'll know. But looks wise, I mean, that's a thing with a huge dude. I've said this quote before, but I saw some quote, and I think it was some football player and he was like, I have a pretty good dick, but against my body, it looks like Mona Lisa in the Hoover Dam. Like it just doesn't like stick out.

• 8:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 8:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Something like that.

• 8:32Rayna Greenberg?

  So I feel bad for tall guys because I mean, to have a proportionally sized.

• 8:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Big, wide and wide and tall. I feel like.

• 8:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 8:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  And this isn't just because I'm engaged with a tall, thin man, but I feel like when the penis really gets lost, it's because they're wide and long.

• 8:46Rayna Greenberg?

  When the penis gets lost. So that guy that I talked recently, that was just like a huge like Hulkamania of a man. Like it was sad.

• 8:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I think that's like when you have either someone that's short and compact or narrow, the dick really stands out.

• 9:04Rayna Greenberg?

  So if you, if what you're into is looking at it, I can't recommend short guys enough.

• 9:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so we wanted to name some of our favorite short kings.

• 9:16Rayna Greenberg?

  I tried to pick a couple creative ones and then I have the same ones that everybody, I mean, of course,

• 9:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Your brother.

• 9:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Zac Efron, my brother.

• 9:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, at first I said that to you yesterday and no one laughed and I was like, did I take it too far? Cause it's White Lotus week and we can't be calling our brothers hot.

• 9:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know? No, like, stop, we'll get to it, we'll get to it, guys, don't worry, we will, are gonna talk about White Lotus.

• 9:39Rayna Greenberg?

  She's like, I feel like I'm too triggered this week to like, call my brother hot.

• 9:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, that's true. No, I just am laughing, cause I'm thinking about when we did the Chicago Theater first time, first time we sold out the Chicago Theater, one of two times. And I, what I say, I said like, we have some royalty in the house.

• 9:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ranger's brother's a short king. It was like, right when short kings started.

• 10:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  And you like, lost it at royalty.

• 10:04Rayna Greenberg?

  It was amazing. Arlen probably wasn't listening, probably drunk somewhere up in the rafters.

• 10:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 10:08Rayna Greenberg?

  But yeah, obviously my brother, Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, my king of short kings.

• 10:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Is Zac Efron short?

• 10:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Zac Efron's short. I've met him, he's short.

• 10:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Really?

• 10:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I met him in-

• 10:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  Even though he was with Nicole Kidman in that movie?

• 10:20Rayna Greenberg?

  He is pretty short. I can tell you that, um, his exact height, but he, I think he's 5'7" or 5'8".

• 10:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 10:24Rayna Greenberg?

  I met him at, working at the same restaurant where I first met Josh Brolin.

• 10:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 10:27Rayna Greenberg?

  Uh, Jeremy Allen White, my, my king of all kings. Riz Ahmed.

• 10:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 10:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Short king, so hot. Um, and Dave Franco.

• 10:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Love it.

• 10:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 10:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Luigi.

• 10:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Luigi.

• 10:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  How tall is Luigi?

• 10:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Actual Luigi or Dave Franco?

• 10:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Actual Luigi.

• 10:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, Luigi Mangione.

• 10:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Energy at least.

• 10:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Luigi Mangione.

• 10:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Height. I miss Luigi. We haven't talked about him in a while. I hope he's doing okay. Luigi and Mudang, you know?

• 10:52Rayna Greenberg?

  It says Luigi Mangione is 5'7".

• 10:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  No way.

• 10:56Rayna Greenberg?

  That can't be right.

• 10:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 10:57Rayna Greenberg?

  That can't be right. It's on Reddit, so I don't believe it.

• 11:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  But he might be like 5'10".

• 11:02Rayna Greenberg?

  His IMDb page says 5'10".

• 11:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  He 5'10"? I mean, I don't think of a 5'10" as a short king.

• 11:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Absolutely not.

• 11:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  What would you say, 5'8"?

• 11:10Rayna Greenberg?

  5'8" and below.

• 11:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  And below.

• 11:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 11:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  The Times of India says he's 5'11". That feels right. No, I think he's like 5'11" or 6 feet.

• 11:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Most things report 5'10" or 5'11". Shocker, Reddit, 5'7".

• 11:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so I, I, I just have a couple. I mean, obviously Ranger's brother and Benny Blanco.

• 11:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally.

• 11:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I feel like he's the short king of the moment and- On that note, him and Selena Gomez just put out an album, which I love.

• 11:36Rayna Greenberg?

  With his short queen.

• 11:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  With his short queen. I love the album. I've only really listened to it once all the way through. I've always been a fan of Selena Gomez's music and I love what they're doing. I really want them to work out.

• 11:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh my god, yes.

• 11:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, but you know, you see some celebrity couples burn really bright and you know, they seem like they're so obsessed with each other. And then it doesn't work out. And so I just, I would love to see that like lovey dovey obsessed type couple make it in the long run.

• 12:05Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, Ashley and I are obsessed with these types of couples. I just, I like these couples that just like stand each other so hard.

• 12:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Huh?

• 12:13Rayna Greenberg?

  No. I just, I love to see a hot girl give an ugly guy a chance. And that's really what this world needs is more men getting more chances from women that are better than them.

• 12:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's the whole south.

• 12:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 12:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  And I guess he plucked his eyebrows.

• 12:26Rayna Greenberg?

  I saw that. He, his whole unibrow and people are saying it changed his whole face.

• 12:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  But he did it, right? And she was just watching?

• 12:31Rayna Greenberg?

  I think she was watching.

• 12:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Cause I get so mad if my fiance doesn't let me pluck his unibrow. Like that's my job. I live for it.

• 12:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, really?

• 12:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  I love it. I don't, I'm not like a pimple popper. You know that, you know, I don't like, but I love to pluck his eyebrows.

• 12:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you use a tinkle or do you use a?

• 12:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, like tweezers.

• 12:47Rayna Greenberg?

  You use real tweezers? Okay. I'm watching it and he is doing it himself. She is watching.

• 12:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, there's like some video. I just kind of, I saw the headline and people were like, oh, he's glowing up now that he's like got a woman in his life. But yeah, his eyebrows needed some taming. And then I have a kind of a new political crush.

• 13:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Who's that?

• 13:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Greg Cesar. So, House Representative in Texas. I've been loving his vibes lately and that will lead us into our next conversation, but he's, he's giving short king.

• 13:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Ooh.

• 13:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  I couldn't find for sure.

• 13:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, I knew that you were into this guy.

• 13:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  I love him.

• 13:19Rayna Greenberg?

  You've sent me photos of him before. He's sexy.

• 13:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, he's really pushing back against the administration. He's not scared to stand up for what's right and push back against Trump, Elon Musk. He's like, some of his, you know, clips have gone viral. But he's a newer name, I feel like in the zeitgeist. Like people obviously in Texas know him.

• 13:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Strong head of hair, strong beard.

• 13:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's so cute.

• 13:38Rayna Greenberg?

  He just looks adorable.

• 13:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  But if you scroll, are you scrolling his Instagram?

• 13:41Rayna Greenberg?

  No, I'm just scrolling Google.

• 13:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, if you see pictures of him, doesn't he look like he's on the shorter side?

• 13:47Rayna Greenberg?

  He's getting short.

• 13:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 13:48Rayna Greenberg?

  A little bit, and you don't see it that often.

• 13:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  It might be five nine.

• 13:50Rayna Greenberg?

  Short politicians, like, I just don't think that, like, I think tall leads to thinking you should be in charge.

• 13:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ugh, right.

• 13:56Rayna Greenberg?

  You know, a lot of tall politicians out there, not a lot of short politicians.

• 13:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  So, that kinda brings us into what we want to talk about, and this is truly everything I'm living for these days, and this is Bernie Sanders tour.

• 14:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Bernie Sanders is on the Fighting Oligarchy Tour, sweeping the nation. I mean, I've been on this since I saw his first tour poster. Like, I was like, he's going on the fucking road.

• 14:18Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I just have never seen a politician put out like a comedy tour poster.

• 14:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I know, I really want to talk about why this is unprecedented in a lot of ways, but I will say, I don't know if you knew this, Bernie Sanders is the first political rally I ever went to in Atlanta. I was like, I really feel like this is a genuine person who's in politics for the right reasons, and I really kind of bought in. And, I mean, we'll put the picture up on the screen, like, I really was like, this was my first, really, foray into, I don't know, I guess, being so involved.

• 14:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 14:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  But, yeah.

• 14:50Rayna Greenberg?

  So, talk to me about why, I know these are extremely well attended, I mean, up to 30,000 people.

• 14:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 14:55Rayna Greenberg?

  So, like, talk to me about why this is so unprecedented for a politician.

• 14:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, like, 34,000 people came out in Denver, about 20,000 in Arizona, and he's bringing out people like AOC, and she's been like the biggest name, obviously, and Greg Cusar and like some different people or whatever, but I just think it's so unprecedented to see a senator, a person in Congress, a formal presidential candidate, do a tour in opposition to the president. Like, he's not running, these aren't rallies.

• 15:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Right.

• 15:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, like, he is, these aren't political protests, like, the Women's March, like, these are organized from a politician who's not running for president, as far as we know, purely because he knows we need a revolution and who else is gonna fucking do it. I mean, this man is 83.

• 15:41Rayna Greenberg?

  He is doing the most for anybody in his age.

• 15:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  I think he's like, I guess I'll fucking do it. No one else is doing it, you know, like he's truly the goat. I just think he's the realist and I get emotional talking about him and, you know, watching clips and AOC too, because I'm like, I do think there are some people in politics who truly care. And I mean, Bernie is always, his messaging is like never change, you know? He is just like, we need healthcare and tax the billionaires and we need to raise the minimum wage. I mean, I sometimes think about the federal minimum wage and I like can't wrap my head around it. It has not changed since 2009. It's 7.25. Obviously, state by state is different. California is one of the higher ones, like $16 or something like that as of like this year. Like, can you believe that?

• 16:25Rayna Greenberg?

  No.

• 16:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, it's, he's so, like, how are people supposed to live? You know, like, I feel so much of his messaging in my soul of like, there's so many things wrong with the way people live and aren't able to live in this country. And it's just like, that's not that radical. You know, like, this shouldn't be that radical of a message. And, you know, I know people say he's a socialist, means a democratic socialist. He isn't independent. And I just love watching this happen. I think that, you know, I don't want to get false hope about it, but I do think we are watching a revolution happen in real time. And I do think that he can inspire other leaders to take this kind of action, get in front of people, don't hold back on social media. I mean, he's not holding back.

• 17:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  He is directly attacking Trump. You know, he's mentioning the numbers of the, at the rallies, you know, like, he's not holding back and he's not backing down. And I just think that's like really what we need to see. And it just really warms my heart and it gives me hope.

• 17:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Is the tour still happening?

• 17:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, it looks like they announce only like a few cities at a time. I don't know.

• 17:30Rayna Greenberg?

  It feels safer to me, honestly, then.

• 17:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, that was kind of what I was wondering, like, because I saw a few, I'm like, oh, it's only, the first tour poster I saw was only a few cities. And they're going into like red areas.

• 17:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 17:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know?

• 17:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, I think it's nice that somebody is giving hope to this mess that we're living in.

• 17:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I mean, I think, I love what he's doing. I love what AOC is doing. I mean, I wish, you know, Pete Buttigieg would... Would run for president. I don't know if America is ready, and I just don't think that he is, but he's somebody that I think is a great leader. Jasmine Crockett has just been unfiltered and she is just on one, and I love to see it. And I just really like to see what they're doing and just seeing all those thousands and thousands of people with so much passion and that really want to push back on this is inspiring. And I saw this tweet, or maybe it was like a thread, and it said Bernie and AOC picked up where the era's tour left off. Like, I love that because it really is just like, this is the only tour I care about, and my own tour. But I just, I really love to see it.

• 18:28Rayna Greenberg?

  And Beyonce, when she starts her tour.

• 18:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  So we just wanted to, you know, talk about that.

• 18:32Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. Well, one other kind of crazy political thing just dropped. So a writer for The Atlantic, his name is Jeffrey Goldberg, wrote this article for The Atlantic, and the title is "The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans." And that sounds ridiculous, but it is exactly as it is.

• 18:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Sounds like the Onion.

• 18:48Rayna Greenberg?

  So US national security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn't think it could be real, and then the bombs started falling. So he basically said a couple hours prior to this happening in Yemen, he was accidentally looped in.

• 19:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Literally how? Like, they met someone else of, that has his name? Like, this is, this is so terrifying. Like, things like this just prove just how vulnerable we are, you know? I'm scared for our country on so many different levels, but it's so embarrassing.

• 19:19Rayna Greenberg?

  So Pete Hegseth, he's the Secretary of Defense, he accidentally looped this reporter in.

• 19:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  My favorite take is, in Pete's defense, he was drunk.

• 19:27Rayna Greenberg?

  Probably.

• 19:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  He was alcoholic.

• 19:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Probably.

• 19:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 19:31Rayna Greenberg?

  It's really shocking that this could happen.

• 19:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  The emojis.

• 19:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Insane.

• 19:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, who was it that wrote the, like, fist emoji, the flame emoji? Like, I'm mortified.

• 19:44Rayna Greenberg?

  It seems like a, like a joke that this could, like, pop up. It seemed like an Onion article, like you said.

• 19:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  We're so embarrassing. Like, the levels of, like, pure incompetence are one thing, the, like, blatant corruption and this, like, complete lack of decency with this administration. But above all, like, we are so embarrassing.

• 20:04Rayna Greenberg?

  We are. And I think about this all the time. If this, if this would have happened on the other side of the coin, I mean, it would have been the end of the goddamn world.

• 20:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, now it's just like, well, you know, the Trump administration's going to Trump.

• 20:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, that's but her emails.

• 20:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  So Hillary Clinton answered the chat.

• 20:19Rayna Greenberg?

  Hillary Clinton weighed in.

• 20:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  What'd she write?

• 20:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  So she reposted, I guess, was it a tweet? Or maybe it was-

• 20:27Rayna Greenberg?

  She reposted the article.

• 20:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, she reposted the article of the Trump administration accidentally texting me its war plans and wrote with the eyes emoji, "You have got to be kidding me." That's all that needs to be said, truly. I mean, Pete Buttigieg weighed in on it. He did, you guys can go watch his reel about it and like just how serious it is. Also, you shouldn't be discussing this classified information in this little group chat. It's really sick. It's really scary, but you're, it's just like you can't make this shit up, you know? And I remember like when Hillary was running and I remember being out with these girls and they were like, "So you really think it's okay that she used this like email server whatever?" And I was like, "What, what? Yeah, I don't care." That's the main sticking point? Like literally people were like, "But her emails."

• 21:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like it was crazy.

• 21:14Rayna Greenberg?

  No, it's crazy.

• 21:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  While she's running against Donald Trump, like it was just nuts to me. I remember being like, "That's, that's all you got?"

• 21:21Rayna Greenberg?

  It is a really crazy thing to have built a whole slander campaign against somebody for.

• 21:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, that's all they had. People didn't like Hillary for other reasons, but I'm just saying that was like such a thing. Like those people are real quiet now. I just can't believe this. I mean, it is, it's wild. I mean, this was like the biggest news story. Like it is as we record.

• 21:38Rayna Greenberg?

  All right, well, let's thank a couple of our partners and then we'll jump right in.

Inspired by a true story, this series follows Molly, who after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, decides to leave her husband to explore the full breadth of her sexual desires. She gets the courage and support to go on a sex quest from her best friend Nikki, who stays by her side through it all. FX's Dying for Sex, all episodes streaming April 4th on Hulu. If you guys watched the trailer for this, you're going to be so excited to watch it. I love both of these actresses. I love the whole story of their friendship together. And this idea that Michelle Williams' character has never had an orgasm during sex with a partner. And so she goes on this quest to do so.

• 24:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I love the focus on friendship and sex and owning your sexuality. And of course, there will be a lot of sad moments in it. It's a cancer journey as well. So it's just, it's a, it seems like a beautiful story about friendship. I'm really excited to watch it.

• 24:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, I'm really excited to watch it too. And we were really intrigued by the trailer. There's billboards up all over LA, which has been like fun to see. So yeah, can't wait.

• 24:50Rayna Greenberg?

  So a story that started last week and it is just kind of continuing to grow. You can look up an article on vulture, even quote unquote boring NYC influencers cause discourse. And this came from a girl named Martini Feeny. She was a girl that had like 900 followers on TikTok. She posted this thing and basically she just says like, I'm so bored by New York City influencers.

• 25:10Speaker 03

  All right, guys, I'm just gonna say it. I hate all of the New York influencers. I think that they're boring as fuck.

• 25:16Rayna Greenberg?

  They're all kind of the same. It's all the same content. It's all the same, like, get ready with me content.

• 25:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  All the same, like, blonde, skinny girl, wearing the same clothes. Like, nothing's, like, new and different.

• 25:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, matcha latte, Pilates, same set, you know? And we'll talk about whether I follow these people or not. But she posts this rather obnoxious thing on TikTok and doesn't have that many followers. And it explodes. And all of these New York City influencers start, like, getting involved in the comments section. And some of them are being a little censor. It's like, if you don't think this is about you, it's not about you.

• 25:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, she didn't name anybody.

• 25:50Rayna Greenberg?

  She named no one.

• 25:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was, I mean, I guess if you know, you know, sorta. But like, I, it felt pretty vague.

• 25:59Rayna Greenberg?

  She doesn't name a single person.

• 26:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  It felt like it could describe you or not. I don't know.

• 26:03Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, we all know this content. I don't follow any of it. I get served it all the time. It is this very specific, like, trope of New York City influencers. It's all, like, these are blonde, white women and their little fashion outfits. And it's the same routine. Their apartments all look the same. They all eat the same thing for breakfast. And they have this, I guess, somewhat covetable life by some people. And people really just jumped in on this and started parodying the video. And this took off in a way that I think she never really expected. I mean, millions and millions of views.

• 26:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, the way that it blew up is because one of these influencers, is it acquired style? Stitched it. Like, I mean, so obviously took it personally, thought it was about her, and then stitched it. And that's what made it blow up, which, if that was her intention, great. But if that was not...

• 26:54Rayna Greenberg?

  This didn't do what you think it would do.

• 26:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  You had to know.

• 26:57Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 26:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, that, it's so crazy to draw attention to something that's critiquing you unless you really are like, I don't know, like, I would never do that. Like, if someone made some video that I was like, I think that's about me. Like, I don't know. It's like, that, that kind of hurts my feelings or I'm taking this personally. Like, I wouldn't.

• 27:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't know, like, I wouldn't put it on my feed. I'd be like, I hope no one sees that.

• 27:22Rayna Greenberg?

  No, absolutely not. And also, if you don't think this applies to you, if you don't think you're boring, if you think the content you're making is great, then good for you. And we talk about all these podcasters that are out there, every hour, another podcast.

• 27:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, that's so funny, because it's like, she's over here saying, New York City influencers are boring, and you took it personally, which means you resonate with being boring. Like, if you're, if you're like, that's not me, I'm exciting, and I'm different, and I'm a trendsetter, then you can be like, that's not even about me.

• 27:50Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 27:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  But instead, like, someone really, I don't, that's the funniest part to me, is this wouldn't have done numbers at all.

• 27:56Rayna Greenberg?

  No, all these people.

• 27:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  If someone else didn't, like, platform it.

• 27:58Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, all these girls getting a little sensy.

• 28:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 28:01Rayna Greenberg?

  And it's just, it's not content that I gravitate towards, you know, I thought about this a lot, especially during COVID in 2020, I unfollowed a lot of these, like, fashion girlies. It did make me feel good about myself. And then, again, during the fires in LA, I was just having, like, a rough time in general, and I started a new TikTok account, and I only followed accounts that make me really happy. And the stuff that I follow is food, it's comedy, it's travel, it's a lot of art, it's home design.

• 28:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 28:27Rayna Greenberg?

  And only people that just make me smile and laugh. This is not the kind of content that I prefer to follow, even though I am like these girlies. I am just a boring blonde, white girl, and I wake up in the morning, I drink a lot of the same stuff they drink, and I like to do a lot of the same stuff, I don't make this content, but it's just, it's not, it's not for me. I don't care about it.

• 28:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, but I just, I like, a lot of people have pushed back on, like, this is your following, sis. You know, you don't, you're not following any really, like, people of color, or like, any artsy people in different neighborhoods of New York. And, again, like, I don't know, I, I'm not even trying to attack this girl that made this video, because I think she was just, like, saying a thing, she didn't really know what was gonna do this. I don't think she's trying to be an influencer herself, I don't think that was the point. People are like, oh, she's drinking a Blank Street coffee, she's basic too. It's like, I don't think she was saying she wasn't, I don't know, I think she was just... Stating her opinion, but then she did get kind of snarky with this. She kind of doubled down. Like, I don't really know. I don't think people really find her to be that likable, whatever. So maybe she's an easy target. But that's not really, my goal is not necessarily

• 29:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  in attacking her, but anyone who feels bored on the internet, how? I'd love to be bored on the internet. Are you, if you are bored by your feed, are you following anybody that's reporting on the news, or White Lotus, or pop culture, or any, like, how, I don't know who these women are. And that's not, I'm not trying to be like, oh, I'm so different, like, pick me. I truly couldn't name one of these boring New York City influencers. I don't follow them. Also, like, I don't know, let them live, let them get their bag. Like, I don't know. Like, this is about who you follow. We say it all the time. When you unfollow people, they really do cease to exist. I mean, there's some people you

• 30:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  can't escape, because they're like the top level of fame, and they're everywhere. But these people, truly, they would, you wouldn't, they wouldn't be in your orbit if you just unfollowed them.

• 30:18Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I was looking through the article, and they highlight a bunch of different influencers that commented, made content about this. I'd never heard of any of them.

• 30:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Never heard of them, I know.

• 30:26Rayna Greenberg?

  It's not content that I follow. And for a number of reasons, a lot of these girls are much younger than me.

• 30:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 30:30Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't relate to it. I also just want different stuff in my feed. I don't need to watch other people go live this, like, fabulous life. That's, to me, that's not interesting content. Just like, look at this trip I've been on, look at this influencer gift I got, look at this vacation that was for free. I, that's, that's the kind of content you like, great to go off.

• 30:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, totally.

• 30:47Rayna Greenberg?

  And if you find that a lifestyle that you aspire to, I mean, it sounds like a great life. So follow that, but it's, it's not my feed.

• 30:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, your following is a reflection of you. And I guess I've never been to talk, because we talked about my following a couple of weeks ago. It's just like, but it's like Wawa, and like,

• 31:01Rayna Greenberg?

  Brand.

• 31:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Dogs, and like, those, that's my whole personality.

• 31:04Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 31:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  But I, I guess, I see her point in a way that, again, I can't speak on it with a lot of authority, because that's not my following. But if that's really kind of, if there's a truth to that, which I can understand, I am thinking of kind of the influencers and the fashion girlies of our yesteryear, you know, before the word even really came around. And those are, I think, people like Man Repeller. And she was so different and unique, and like, truly trend-setting, like, Influencer should mean like trend setter, not trend follower. So

• 31:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally.

• 31:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Again, you can be any type of influencer. We'll talk about wellness influencers after this, but fashion should feel like fresh and different. And like, I've never seen that before, like a true fashionista, all these old words, trend setter, like that should feel like not the same outfit that every other girl's wearing. I mean, it just should. And I know that those people exist as well. Again, that's kind of like other people's point of like, you're not looking in the right places. Maybe you should try to like elevate other voices, like maybe you should try to follow people besides the same white girl. You know, but I think there's probably some truth in it that we've just lost some of that uniqueness and authenticity.

• 32:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, that type of content, I think, like, does it make me laugh? No. Does it teach me anything? No. Does it make my day any better? No. And everything I follow, I want to like learn something or laugh or see the world in a different way, or see something designed in a different way. And if it's not the case, then I'm not following that shit.

• 32:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. Okay. So speaking of influencers, this is what is going viral this week.

• 32:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Speaking of get ready with me videos.

• 32:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Speaking of get ready with me, the ultimate get ready with the, the morning routine to end all morning routines. And this was a trainer named Ashton Hall. He's this man, he lives in Miami. And he makes a lot of content, but he made a morning routine video that went so viral.

• 33:01Rayna Greenberg?

  So I have the numbers for you right now.

• 33:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 33:03Rayna Greenberg?

  This morning, a hundred million views on TikTok, a hundred million.

• 33:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's even more.

• 33:08Rayna Greenberg?

  And 675 million views on X.

• 33:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  I looked, it was like over 700 recent, like then combined with Instagram, like he's coming up to a billion views. A billion.

• 33:23Rayna Greenberg?

  So he posted this video, what? He starts at three o'clock in the morning and it goes all the way until like 9:30. And it's step by step, every single thing that he does from the moment he wakes up and takes off that insane mouth tape.

• 33:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, he wakes up at three, he untapes his mouth, he brushes his teeth, he rinses with Saratoga water. He does pushups next to a Saratoga water bottle. He cold plunges his face into Saratoga ice water. He watches church on his phone, he works out, he swims, he dives into the pool.

• 33:48Rayna Greenberg?

  Journals?

• 33:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 33:49Rayna Greenberg?

  There's three separate workout routines in this video. And then this is like three outfit changes.

• 33:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  There's this part where he has a banana. When he wipes the peel on his face, I laughed out loud.

• 34:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Was that a joke?

• 34:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I used to do that. I remember hearing about that so many years ago.

• 34:04Rayna Greenberg?

  What, like calcium on your face?

• 34:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't even remember what it was. I used to be a beauty blogger, you know, I would do some weird stuff. Like, I remember wiping banana peels on my face in like 2010. I was the original.

• 34:13Rayna Greenberg?

  Listen, I want to apply to any man that has a morning skincare routine, because I'm not dogging it, you know?

• 34:19Rayna Greenberg?

  How far is too far comes up for me a little bit, but like, listen, I'm not going to dog a man that like takes care of their skin in any way.

• 34:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, but this was insane. This was unhinged. And like, also, it's just, I can't stop watching it because it's so crazy.

• 34:32Rayna Greenberg?

  It feels like a joke, right?

• 34:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  It feels like a parody. I think that's what it is. I think, no, I think that's why it's so popular and has gone so viral is because you were like, this can't be serious. I mean, he has a ton of followers prior to this, by the way. He has millions of followers even before this. He's like a real like trainer wellness influencer type person. So people who followed him saw it and knew it was real, but the new people who didn't know this man existed are like, that has to be a sketch. So much is about this Saratoga water. You'd think they were a brand partner.

• 35:01Rayna Greenberg?

  So he said that they weren't, but Saratoga has really cashed in on this. Their stock price went up. People are like flooding their Instagram page and buying. Saratoga, I love the water. Beautiful blue bottles. I've been drinking it for years.

• 35:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's so expensive. And I'm an Aquapana girly, but like, I didn't know how just how expensive it was. I was looking at prices. It's like $5, $6 a bottle.

• 35:21Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 35:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, when you buy it in bulk even.

• 35:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, it's really expensive. When I worked at a Danny Meyer restaurant, we served it to guests. It was just like this really expensive, high-touch.

• 35:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  I stayed at this hotel in Boston, like, just one, like, for like an overnight trip. And it was a five-star hotel. It was one of the more expensive hotels in Boston. I actually didn't really think it deserved that rating based on some other things in the hotel, but there was Saratoga water everywhere. It was in the rooms, it was in the gym. We were just like going to the gym to get more. Like, it was everywhere. I'm like, how, now I realize that's why it's five-star. It's so expensive.

• 35:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, it's such a flex. This guy, I mean, a six-hour morning workout routine is also, that guy wore four outfits. In that video, he changes so many times. Three separate workouts in that. Somebody serves him breakfast during it. The timestamps are very funny because he timestamped himself like jumping and then hitting the pool and there's two minute timestamp in between it.

• 36:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, I didn't, I was, people were talking about the dive.

• 36:15Rayna Greenberg?

  The dive.

• 36:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, people are picking this apart in every way.

• 36:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, yeah. So he like journals, but he only journals for like 10 minutes, but he watches church for an hour.

• 36:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  But he also like, when he speaks for the first time, it is a little bit of a jump scare. Like, I feel like he's, he's going so hard. It's so intense. It's so aggressive. And when the first time he speaks, you're like, it's gotta be Samuel L. Jackson. Like, and it's not. It's like a little higher pitch. Like, I wouldn't say he's a high voice, but like, his voice is not that low. Like, the register is on the higher end.

• 36:42Rayna Greenberg?

  Expect something a little different.

• 36:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  He spoke. I was like, oh, my goodness. Like, and I just have to say, I've been plunging my face into cold water for, for years now. So I do feel like I'm like.

• 36:50Rayna Greenberg?

  I love it.

• 36:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  I, it does like really like wake your face up.

• 36:53Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 36:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  But, yeah, like Raina said, like Saratoga Water has blown up in terms of sales, stock, Google searches, all of that. And so many people have jumped on this. And Saratoga's posting about it, but I was reading an article that was like, they should be doing a little bit more. Like, are they gonna partner with him?

• 37:08Rayna Greenberg?

  I would, I'm, why would they at this point? They like got their bag for free.

• 37:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's true.

• 37:13Rayna Greenberg?

  You know?

• 37:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Um, and then I love what the NFL teams have done. So we can link this article, but all these NFL teams have kind of jumped on the bandwagon and kind of like made fun of it. So Detroit Lions wrote, "Happy Monday, time to lock in." And it's just a picture of him with his face and like a bucket of water. Las, the Las Vegas Raiders posted what, something that says lunchtime and it's an ice water bowl and bananas. The New England Patriots wrote, "744 hours till draft time, time to lock in." Same thing of him like plunging his face in. Atlanta Falcons, "Rise up and grind." And they have bananas next to a laptop.

• 37:48Rayna Greenberg?

  This guy is their poster child.

• 37:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  The Buffalo Bills. The, did you see the Miami Dolphins?

• 37:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Morning dive. Like, every NFL team is capitalizing this. I just think it's so funny. And then people have really dug into him, which is not great for anybody. So people have dug into him and have found a few things. One, that he may be getting evicted.

• 38:12Rayna Greenberg?

  I saw that.

• 38:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  So he like, he's had this ongoing leasing dispute.

• 38:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Too busy working out for six hours every morning to work.

• 38:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  So people are saying he doesn't pay his rent. I did see a few things. They're like, I used to work for him. He's like really cheap. He sucks, whatever. But I mean, that's just hearsay. And then also probably the main thing is people have found out he's 5'5".

• 38:32Rayna Greenberg?

  I did not see this.

• 38:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  So Short King, Short King Spring.

• 38:35Rayna Greenberg?

  You can't tell.

• 38:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's the king of Short King Spring.

• 38:38Rayna Greenberg?

  You can't 5'5".

• 38:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  You can't. I could tell he was short. I can never, you know, I never know how tall anybody is.

• 38:44Rayna Greenberg?

  He was so compact. I guess I didn't, it's hard for me to like, he's just in a space, so I don't have a lot to compare him to. The door frame, I guess.

• 38:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Someone said the car, when he gets in the car. You can tell how tall he is next to the car.

• 38:56Rayna Greenberg?

  This episode is brought to you by, by Short Kings.

• 38:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 38:59Rayna Greenberg?

  My theory is that no women have a morning routine like this. I've never heard anything like it. Every time I get served some video of some terrible man talking about his four hour routine. It's not, not one woman on earth is doing this. That was my hypothesis. So we posted on our story, what's the craziest part of your morning routine? And most of our followers are women. We did get some funny stuff, like pooping while I braid my toddler's hair. So women are multitasking. Women are just multitasking on multitasking. Um, I feed my balcony squirrel, so she goes outside to feed the squirrel. I dump my pee bucket. She's nine months pregnant. The toilet's downstairs. Peeing in a bucket.

• 39:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  She does not deserve that. A pregnant woman chooses to pee in a bucket next to her bed.

• 39:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Just sleep downstairs. Make your man build you a bathroom upstairs. He's like, you get the bucket.

• 39:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm so scarred by that.

• 39:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, somebody wrote, I eat candy at 5:30 a.m. as a pre-gym snack.

• 39:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, if, I'm a Snickers bar. It's been proven to just like really be a good pre-workout.

• 39:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Screaming to my towel after I shower.

• 39:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. Yeah, I mean, of course, there are other side of the coin with women is like, you know, you wake up and like journaling and meditation and lemon water and different things. I mean, there are women out there that have these types of routines.

• 40:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, yeah, it just doesn't last six hours. I have a morning routine.

• 40:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's a daytime routine at that point.

• 40:16Rayna Greenberg?

  I like, well, I don't journal, but I journal my to-do list, which is very meditative. I have my coffee. I stretch. I do all my things. My morning routine's 30 minutes.

• 40:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, sending at least one nude every morning.

• 40:26Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 40:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  I love that.

• 40:27Rayna Greenberg?

  Uh huh.

• 40:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Taking out my fake teeth. It's just two at the back of my mouth, not visible, but it's weird and comical. Walking three miles every single day with my weighted vest without hesitation. Am I insane? Maybe.

• 40:38Rayna Greenberg?

  That's, I'm good for you. A jazz cigarette with a coffee. What's a jazz cigarette?

• 40:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't, are you just like, listening to jazz, smoking a cig?

• 40:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, okay. That sounds relaxing.

• 40:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Smacking my hubby's ass prior to getting up. The other day I hit his ball sack by accident.

• 40:53Rayna Greenberg?

  Little ball tap in the morning? A lot of cute stuff with your pets. Somebody said, I'll never forget, Jason Tardik takes a bath every morning. Did he say that on our episode?

• 41:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't remember.

• 41:03Rayna Greenberg?

  A morning bath?

• 41:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, morning bath is the original, is this weird?

• 41:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally.

• 41:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  If you've been listening since the beginning, this girl wrote in and she was like, this guy's taking a morning bath. He's just like, has a half chub sitting in the bath while I do my eyeliner. Is this weird?

• 41:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 41:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  A morning bath, what kind of time do you have? Like, I can't, I mean, I'm not a bath person also. So I guess, like, if you really are, that's gonna be luxurious.

• 41:26Rayna Greenberg?

  I have the time, I guess. I just, it would make, it makes me feel anxious to slow down like that in the morning. I like to be like, building towards my day.

• 41:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, that's the end of the day thing.

• 41:37Rayna Greenberg?

  End of the day, that's a wind down thing. This girl hits her bong in the morning. A lot of like, hyping up my dog, red light masks, a lot of multitasking.

• 41:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I started doing red light in the morning, after we had Dr. Barrett on. Yeah, so I used to do it as part of my nighttime routine, but now I wake up, I do spray, like, fresh water. Like, I buy it, it's like Aveen natural spring water. I spray my face with it. And then I do my red light, and then I do my face oil.

• 42:04Rayna Greenberg?

  That's nice.

• 42:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 42:05Rayna Greenberg?

  What kind of oil are you using these days? Bullet by the sea? Osea, okay.

• 42:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 42:09Rayna Greenberg?

  I've been using Osea body oil.

• 42:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, the Andaria?

• 42:12Rayna Greenberg?

  You like that?

• 42:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, it makes me so slippery.

• 42:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I have been taking two showers a day, and I usually don't shower, ever. I don't ever wanna shower, but I really, I've been cold a lot lately, and I've just been really enjoying it. I've also been, I've also been like, hotboxing my bathroom, which I told you the other day. I just, I go in there, turn off all the lights, I light some candles, and then I smoke weed, and then I shower, until I sort of feel like I'm gonna faint a little bit. That's my morning routine. Get out of there, that's my evening routine.

• 42:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, thank you guys for sharing your morning routine with us. I mean, we just, you know, best of luck to that guy with Saratoga sponsorship paying his rent, you know, doing his thing.

• 45:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, I need therapy after that White Lotus episode.

• 45:46Rayna Greenberg?

  The handjob fell round the world.

• 45:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  I felt weird even asking my brother if he watched it.

• 45:53Rayna Greenberg?

  You asked your brother?

• 45:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  We talk about White Lotus every week.

• 45:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, wow.

• 45:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  You said it last week, but I can't stop thinking about how just everyone watches this show and they watch it Sunday night. It is appointment TV. Like, we haven't had this, we don't have this a lot anymore.

• 46:08Rayna Greenberg?

  No, we don't. And every generation, a friend of mine was like, my parents came over this morning and they talked about it. And I was like, did you acknowledge it? And she was like, no, we didn't acknowledge it. It's like, just thinking about my parents watching that is so crazy.

• 46:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  So if you didn't watch it, what are you, what are you doing with your life? Everybody watches it. If you don't watch White Lotus, turn the episode off, it's almost over anyway. But like, we're just going to get right into it. I mean.

• 46:30Rayna Greenberg?

  It's every meme on the internet. I mean, also Jeremy said to me, can you explain to me, last week he said, can you explain to me the scene? And I knew exactly what he meant. He meant the ladyboy scene from last week. Like, it's, it's the, it's the whole cultural zeitgeist, there's like, nothing but this. And they've been teasing this like incest storyline for a couple of episodes and doing nothing else in that show. We'll talk about it. But they, they finally served it up.

• 46:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, is Mike White on crack? What? He is off his rocker. I, I mean, I love it. Like, can I just tell you, like, the jerk off scene?

• 47:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  My fiance had to tell me that it was the brother jerking him off and that we had to rewind it because I didn't even notice it because I wasn't, my mind wasn't going there.

• 47:16Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't think it was. I think in the first, in Patrick Schwarzenegger's memory, he was jerking himself off. And I think later, when you see the younger brother, remember it.

• 47:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  You see the arm.

• 47:27Rayna Greenberg?

  He's jerking off the brother.

• 47:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, regardless, even when they did show it, I didn't process it because I wasn't thinking in that way. I was like, oh, he's, like, I just was, it's so, I still can't wrap my head around. Like, I just don't feel right ever since. And I think it's because I don't watch a lot of porn. Like, do you think, I felt extra.

• 47:46Rayna Greenberg?

  I think it's because somebody's jerking his brother off. I don't think it's because, like, you're not in the porn world. I watch a lot of porn.

• 47:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but a lot of people watch incest porn. I'm saying, like, I think if you watch more porn, you're, some people weren't as affected as me. I feel really still, like, not quite right.

• 48:00Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, it's like one of those things where, like, you're going about your day, you think you're happy, and you just have a flashback for a second. Like, you are Patrick Schwarzenegger? It is hard to say that word with a lisp. But that face that he makes, and I want to say, he knocked this out of the park. I mean, his acting is unbelievable. We've all had those moments where we wake up and we're like, oh, no.

• 48:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  That, USA Today called it world-class hangover acting. Like, give him the Emmy for Best Hangover. Create a new category. I felt it in my soul. Like, I, again, I've never jerked my brother off, but like, we've all woken up in the morning when we did something bad, something we regret. Not quite on that level. Again, there's a spectrum of bad things. And I felt his hangover in my, I had a hangover from his hangover acting.

• 48:42Rayna Greenberg?

  He looks terrorized by what he has done to himself.

• 48:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  But he just, I mean, I wonder how much he had to practice that hangover. Like, it was so off point.

• 48:51Rayna Greenberg?

  So, at the end of episode five, you see that the brothers make out. And it's episode six, you see that Lachlan, the younger brother, is having sex with Greg's girlfriend and Patrick Schwarzenegger is in bed. Can I just tell you what I thought of when I watched this? So, the younger brother's on top of her, having sex. They're in missionary position. And he is simultaneously giving a handjob. That is crazy upper body strength and coordination. I could never.

• 49:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, it's his posture class. He's really been helping him out.

• 49:19Rayna Greenberg?

  How do you do that?

• 49:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't know.

• 49:21Rayna Greenberg?

  I, that's, I mean, I really, like, when I, when I just table the incest thing for a second. Imagine you are on top of a person having sex and you gotta jerk a person off next to you.

• 49:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  And it, it looked effortless.

• 49:32Rayna Greenberg?

  It did.

• 49:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Do you think there are people out there who got turned on by that and now they're questioning everything?

• 49:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Absolutely.

• 49:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  You think there's people that were like, oh no.

• 49:43Rayna Greenberg?

  I think that like people realized they were turned on just by like gay homosexual interactions in general. Yeah, maybe a little incest porn, just the taboo, like, just this is not okay nature of things. That's why the category is so huge. It was a lot. I, I, but I, I really, like, the episode was just out of pocket from start to finish.

• 50:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  I, I mean, like, I love Belinda's character and her storyline, like, her son walking in the morning after. Like, that was like the tamest thing that happened. And even I was like, oh my god. Like, Lori has fully snapped.

• 50:17Rayna Greenberg?

  I love to see it.

• 50:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  Lori is full of sense. Jaclyn's like half snapped, but Lori has snapped.

• 50:23Rayna Greenberg?

  She is just poking and prodding.

• 50:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, she's like a, she's pretty cuckoo right now, but it's like a joy to watch. I loved it so much. Like, I know you're not really feeling the show that much, and I mean, I'm sure you'll find some community in it, but like, I really, I love it so much and I feel like we, I feel like we, we all collectively love it and everybody wakes up Monday morning waiting for the memes. And it's just like, the episodes three and four were slower, and that's okay, but I feel like they have made up for it in five and six.

• 50:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, they were like, this show is so boring, incest.

• 50:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I just. I mean, I, I can't, I disagree.

• 50:57Rayna Greenberg?

  I think I don't like the season. It's just, and it's hard to say that, cause like, it's still better television than almost anything. It's shot so beautifully, the acting is so beautiful, the, I think I've just been really bored. I'm not really rooting for anybody. I don't care about any of these people, except for Rick's girlfriend. She's the only person I root for. I never saw Rick again on this show. And the storyline about him and the actress's husband, I don't care about it at all. These three women on a trip together. I like the dynamic. I've been waiting. For the dynamic to snap. I've been waiting for like Lori to really go after Jacqueline. I'm finally maybe gonna get it, but I just don't think I really like the season that much. And they've given me incest. It didn't really do anything for me, except for like just rock me to my core a little. But like, I feel like there's almost nowhere to go for a break in this show.

• 51:42Rayna Greenberg?

  It's just like, we're building towards something always. And it's like, when are we gonna get it? Greg got a third season. How did Greg?

• 51:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  And what is, what is he up to?

• 51:50Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know. And I don't care.

• 51:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  Trying to do with this little party?

• 51:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't care at all. And I, I was like, why did Greg get a third season? Like, why didn't Jennifer Coolidge get a third season? But like, the way they wrapped up last season was so iconic with her. And I think people are like, I, justice for Jennifer. And that's why Greg is back. But like, I can't believe of all the characters, that guy got a third season. I don't care what he's like building towards. This Lucius Malfoy, just kill yourself already.

• 52:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, we, we, I disagree. I mean, I, I love that family dynamic, maybe because I spent a lot of time in the South. Like, I love that this daughter is like rejecting her family's values. She wants to, like, wants to go live at this monastery. Like, I love the dad storyline. I love this like, will he, won't he? What's he gonna do? You know, he's, him talking to the monk was like a really pivotal scene. Like, I just loved that. I love Parker Posey. Like, I love the three women. I like the, um, character development of Rick. I feel like we really hated him and now we're kind of rooting for him. And I mean, I don't know that it's my favorite, but I just think it is really like quality TV. And yeah, like I said, episodes three and four, I was like, eh, but I was like, we're gonna get there. And I really do love it.

• 52:58Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm gonna continue to watch it. And I actually have some faith that they're gonna wrap this up in a really wild way. That maybe makes me eat my words, that like it was worth building.

• 53:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, there's still a, a shooting, like, which I'm dreading. Like, I had so much anxiety watching the opening scene, but like, what, and what's about to happen? Is it Carrie or Greg? Which is real name? Greg, Gary?

• 53:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Greg slash Gary.

• 53:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Greg slash Gary. Like, I truly don't know what's gonna happen. I was with some friends this past weekend and our friend Taylor. She has like a crazy prediction on.

• 53:29Rayna Greenberg?

  What's the prediction?

• 53:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  She thinks those Russian guys are the shooters.

• 53:33Rayna Greenberg?

  Interesting.

• 53:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  She thinks the two Russian friends, I don't know, like, and she said some other things, I don't know, we were drinking. And like, I was like, that's wild, you know, and like, I'm invested in the security guard and Lisa from Blackpink. Like, I just...

• 53:46Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm not that, I had that storyline, I don't care about that either.

• 53:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ugh, I love, worst security guard that's ever been. It's just, cause like, one job and can't do it.

• 53:54Rayna Greenberg?

  Can't do it. I can't protect the gun. I'm just like, what is gonna happen here? It does feel like it's those security guards, or it's the actresses' bodyguards, and like, Gaetok, that's his name, right?

• 54:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 54:04Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, Gaetok. Valentine is the person that like, tricked him to leaving that gate open in the very beginning, when there was that jewelry store robbery.

• 54:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, well, then that's probably why she thinks it's his friends.

• 54:13Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 54:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. I mean, I just think shit's about to get even crazier. Like, I think Mike White took it easy on us for those episodes. He was like, give him a breather. I mean, I watch it feeling anxious.

• 54:23Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, but I, that's, that's why I feel like there, I have nowhere to go for a break.

• 54:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  And you don't like that.

• 54:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I, but I'm anxious for what? So Greg can have his little party? Like, I just, what am I anxious about? I don't know. Like, I guess I started becoming really anxious in the first episode about this incest scene, like, what's it gonna be? What's this gonna build to? And like, now I'm anxious, cause like, Lachlan, he went with his sister to that monastery, and I'm like, is he like, preying on her now? It's, I just, it makes me feel icky. I just, I miss like, Sydney Sweeney and her friend just kinda like, bullying that person at the resort a little bit.

• 54:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  That, that was not my favorite season, you know that. I loved it, I love them all, but like, season two was my, I liked it a lot better than season one.

  Same.

• 55:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  All right, well, you know, see you next week on White Lotus, you guys. And we're just gonna wrap it up with some headlines. What else you need to know?

• 55:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I got really excited about this story. Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal spark romance rumors with three-hour dinner.

• 55:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  At the Tower Bar.

• 55:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I really ship this.

• 55:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, then people were saying, they're talking about a potential project, but I love it.

• 55:21Rayna Greenberg?

  It's just interesting when stuff like this gets news, because like, they are major actors having dinner in Hollywood. Like, it's not news to me.

• 55:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, but three hours.

• 55:29Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, maybe their agents were there, maybe they were talking about, like, also like, in West Hollywood is where like, CAA and UTA and all the different agencies are, like, maybe they were just talking about, maybe they're just friends.

• 55:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Maybe there's buds.

• 55:41Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I mean, I have three-hour dinners with people all the time I'm not sleeping with.

• 55:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, he said they're, they're just friends, obviously, but we're still gonna ship it.

• 55:47Rayna Greenberg?

  I ship it.

• 55:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, fans can't stop laughing as the Wolf of Wall Street lands on Disney+.

• 55:52Rayna Greenberg?

  How did this get here?

• 55:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, I've seen people's tweets of like, these 13-year-olds are ready for like, a rude awakening. The actual Jordan Belfort tweeted, "When you tell your kid it's time to go to bed," and they reply, "I'm not fucking leaving!" You can thank Disney. The fact that he tweeted out...

• 56:10Rayna Greenberg?

  I love him. I've read his... I take it that'll love him. I've read his book and I love the movie. It's one of my favorite movies. But like, the themes of this movie, if you have been living under a rock, prostitution, fraud, cheating on your spouse.

• 56:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, really graphic sex scenes, yeah.

• 56:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Really, really some bad stuff. So, um, I guess it's on Disney now.

• 56:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Which is Hulu, right? Disney Plus? I don't know.

• 56:33Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, there's Hulu and then there's Disney. Disney's for kids. Okay. And speaking of Disney, yes, Snow White is bombing at the box office. I think we could have seen this coming.

• 56:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't know how much it's bombing. I think this Forbes article compared it to like, Lion King and other stuff like that. So I don't know. Like, it's not doing, not doing great and not doing numbers.

• 56:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, it's brought in 87 million. So to your point, it brought in a couple dollars. Right. Compared to the biggest grossing movies of all time, you're talking Lion King, 191 million, Beauty and the Beast, 174 million, so on and so forth. I mean, it's performing above Mufasa and under Dumbo.

• 57:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. Um, so, you know, we'll see. Okay. And lastly, Bachelor in Paradise, season 10, will feature Golden Contestants for the first time. So...

• 57:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Wild.

• 57:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  I saw this last night, you know, in the finale too, a lot of different like twists and turns. But like, honestly, that was like the craziest part to me is that they're doing Bachelor in Paradise and they're bringing some of these seniors on there.

• 57:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Like, how old are we talking?

• 57:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, 60 plus?

• 57:34Rayna Greenberg?

  60 plus?

• 57:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  50, 60? Yeah, I mean, they haven't confirmed all of them yet, but Gary, Gary's on it.

• 57:41Rayna Greenberg?

  So the age range, I don't watch Paradise that, I just don't. Um, but the age range for the regular Bachelor contestants are like 25 to 33, right?

• 57:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, that sounds about right.

• 57:49Rayna Greenberg?

  And Bachelor is 60 plus.

• 57:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, it's like 55 plus.

• 57:53Rayna Greenberg?

  What is...

• 57:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  Age gaps are hot.

• 57:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Totally. Whatever you want to do. I don't want to see a bunch of the older guys. I don't want to see 60-year-old men preying on 25-year-old women.

• 58:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Which feels like that's what's gonna happen, right?

• 58:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't know. It feels like a desperate move. It feels like they were like, what are we gonna do? Like, this is what we're getting in place of The Bachelorette. I don't hate it, but I like, I just hope it's not gonna... I don't know what it's gonna be like. I'm curious why they did this. I don't know. Are they really expecting people from those generations to hook up people that are old enough to be your parents? That feels a little naughty for ABC.

• 58:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Naughty. I'm curious who they're gonna cast, because like, is it older Bachelor contestants that might be 40? Is Kaitlyn Bristow on it?

• 58:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh.

• 58:39Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't think so. I think Bachelor in Paradise tends to be like the newer cast members, right?

• 58:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. It would be younger.

• 58:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Younger people.

• 58:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  We'll see. Developing story.

• 58:47Rayna Greenberg?
