0:00 Ashley Hesseltine? Welcome to the snack, a lighter serving of Girls Gotta Eat. This is a Dear Media production. Enjoy.
0:10 Ashley Hesseltine? Hi guys. Hi. Hi. Hi. Can I tell you what I did on the way here? Yeah. I think, I think you'll get this reference, but I've just been a little, like a little bit of a funk, just with the state of the world, things in general, whatever. And I was like, you know what I need? I need a Jerry Maguire moment. So I put on Free Fallin' and sang at the top of my lungs in my car and I'm better. You didn't scream, "Show me the money?" On the way over here. I scream, "Show me the money" every day. No, but like. Wait, why Free Fallin'? I don't, I don't know the reference. You don't know the reference? I, I mean, it's while he's going through it, Jerry Maguire, deep cut 90s movie, one of my favorites. And he's in the car, you know, he's in the car and he's singing, "And I'm free, free fallin'."
0:54 Ashley Hesseltine? And he's like, in really getting after it in the car. I don't remember this. Iconic movie moment.
1:09 Ashley Hesseltine? I felt good. You gotta scream in your car sometimes. You know what I was thinking? Cause I, I was in Pittsburgh this weekend and when I drive around, I just sometimes think of all the places I used to park and cry in my car. And get fingered. I thought you were gonna say and get fingered. No, I don't think I had a lot of car sacks back in the day. Oh, not sacks fingering? P- ah, no, no one ever fingered me in my car. You got fingered in the car a lot? No, I'm frontin'. I, I feel like middle consoles are big. I was never getting fingered in the car. I did get fingered in a minivan once. What? I got fingered in the back of a minivan. Okay. No, I was in the third seat, like a kid.
1:48 Ashley Hesseltine? Why are you back there? You were a kid. One night, this guy, Justin, always an Ustin'. I was crying about an Ustin' in my car. Driving us around, big group of people and me and this dude, I'm not gonna say my name. And I'm honestly kind of embarrassed about him, but he fingered me in the back of this, I don't know, Ford Windstar. Or how many other people were in the car? Like full, full van. A full van. We were the only people in that backseat. And then there was probably people in the, um. Captain's chairs.
2:12 Rayna Greenberg? Were you, um, wearing a skirt or pants?
2:14 Ashley Hesseltine? I don't remember. Probably shorts.
2:16 Rayna Greenberg? Okay. So did he go up or down into the clothing? He came in from under.
2:21 Ashley Hesseltine? This is too much. It's like Halle Berry over here.
2:23 Rayna Greenberg? I haven't been figured in a car since I was in Key West a few years ago and I was wearing, I was giving.
2:28 Ashley Hesseltine? Just a few years ago.
2:31 Ashley Hesseltine? Who would have been figured in a car? Actually, last year.
2:34 Rayna Greenberg? I was giving, he was driving my car and I was giving him a blowjob.
2:38 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
2:39 Rayna Greenberg? He, it's a whole thing, you guys.
2:40 Ashley Hesseltine? I kind of think. That's what you do in Florida, honestly.
2:42 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, I honestly, there's only one road in Key West. I mean, where are you gonna go?
2:45 Ashley Hesseltine? Exactly.
2:46 Rayna Greenberg? Um, this is unsafe. All right. Well, let's talk about some of our partners. We're gonna jump right in. We're excited to talk about Olive Ab. Visit oliveabjury.com and use code GGE at checkout for 15% off your first order.

3:08 Rayna Greenberg? So excited to open up this episode with our report today. She has finally fed us. We have been waiting. We have a Taylor Swift report.
3:17 Ashley Hesseltine? Brr, brr, brr.
3:18 Rayna Greenberg? She is back in these streets.
3:19 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh, my God.
3:20 Rayna Greenberg? All I did was complain in the summer of 2024. I could not. I was like, I'm done with it. I can't listen to another Taylor Swift thing and now all I want is it.
3:28 Ashley Hesseltine? I know.
3:29 Rayna Greenberg? I've missed her. I have, I've missed her outfits and lack of fashion. I'm just like, where is she gonna pop up? How are we gonna know what restaurants to eat at in New York?
3:37 Ashley Hesseltine? And lo and behold, Philly.
3:39 Rayna Greenberg? Philly.
3:39 Ashley Hesseltine? Go Birds.
3:40 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
3:41 Ashley Hesseltine? Taylor Swift, Tallulah's Garden.
3:43 Rayna Greenberg? I was gonna ask you. I didn't know what restaurant it was.
3:44 Ashley Hesseltine? I had to dig for this.
3:45 Rayna Greenberg? I was really curious where it was.
3:46 Ashley Hesseltine? A lot of headlines were like spotted in Philly on Mother's Day and I'm like, bitch, where? Has, is it somewhere I've been? And yes, it is. So now it's at least two restaurants that Taylor and Travis and I have dined at. Corner Store in New York and Tallulah's Garden. I remember going there on a girls' night years ago. So cute. And so they went there for Mother's Day and spotted. Can you imagine just seeing her in Philly?
4:10 Rayna Greenberg? And she's, she's just been like under the radar and people are like, have they broken up?
4:13 Ashley Hesseltine? Also, did they get booed?
4:14 Rayna Greenberg? Why?
4:15 Ashley Hesseltine? Philly people.
4:16 Rayna Greenberg? I just feel like people still like her as a Philly person. Yeah. Um, I would boo that outfit. She, I mean, she, you know, I love her, but she wore a black dress with daisies on it, bra hanging out.
4:26 Ashley Hesseltine? From Delia's?
4:27 Rayna Greenberg? Chanel, Chanel purse, just basic as can be.
4:30 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
4:30 Rayna Greenberg? And, um,
4:31 Ashley Hesseltine? That's Mother's Day though. You know, it's vibes.
4:32 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah. You just can't bring out fashion on Mother's Day.
4:35 Ashley Hesseltine? It's florals for Mother's Day. Groundbreaking.
4:38 Rayna Greenberg? Um, I just, I have missed her. So it was really nice to see her. And I think that they've just been, you know, laying low. She's
4:45 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah. You know what's so funny? People in the comments on a lot of these articles that they were spotted in Philly were like, we wish we would have seen him at the Met Gala. Or even the writers were like, you didn't see him at the Met Gala. And I'm like, would they go to that? Like, I can't picture it. Can you?
4:58 Rayna Greenberg? Can't picture the two of them on the carpet.
5:00 Ashley Hesseltine? I mean, I, we
5:01 Rayna Greenberg? Because she's not a style icon. Can you imagine what she would have worn?
5:04 Ashley Hesseltine? That's why she doesn't get invited. Because Anna is like, she can't. Not that Anna's dressed well. When tour, you guys. Miranda Priestly. I'm fresh off Double Wears Prada, by the way. I made my fiance watch it for the first time.
5:17 Rayna Greenberg? I can't believe that he hasn't seen it. But then I was like, no, men? I don't know if men see that movie.
5:21 Ashley Hesseltine? 19 years ago.
5:23 Rayna Greenberg? Nothing has ever made me feel
5:24 Ashley Hesseltine? I thought it was a few years ago.
5:25 Rayna Greenberg? I still quote it. I quote it like it was yesterday.
5:28 Ashley Hesseltine? In my head, Double Wears Prada was a few years back.
5:31 Rayna Greenberg? Everybody wants to be like
5:32 Ashley Hesseltine? 19. And just to wrap up that part of the Taylor Swift report, Dumois said that they are 1,000% together, taking a next step. She can't say, because people are speculating, where have they been? Did they break up? No. And she was like, something will probably be announced soon that she can't say, which people are speculating is that they're engaged. So anyway, they're still very much together. And we have more, though.
5:57 Rayna Greenberg? So she was subpoenaed in the Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni case. And her lawyer dropped maybe the hardest dig I've ever heard.
6:05 Ashley Hesseltine? So here we are again with what exactly is subpoena? But like,
6:10 Rayna Greenberg? What do you mean?
6:11 Ashley Hesseltine? Like, what does that mean? She'd have to appear? She would have to appear in court? Do they, do they get text messages? They, does she have to, like, hand over stuff?
6:20 Rayna Greenberg? So subpoena can be different things. They can subpoena records. They can subpoena people. Subpooning, subpoenaing, to subpoena a person means that they're saying, like, this court case is going to happen. Your name is going to be involved. And we would like, you are being asked to appear. And now, huge celebrities being subpoenaed to appear in court, they can say it will cause a huge ruckus, essentially, if I'm a part of this. It will cause too much press. That's why you also don't see celebrities on juries ever. It's just, it's too much. But she didn't say it's too much.
6:48 Ashley Hesseltine? She dropped really, I mean, it was the boldest, do not ask me about this. It says, Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie. She was not involved in any casting or creative decisions. She did not score the film. She never saw an edit or made any notes on the film. She did not even see it ends with us until weeks after its public release.
7:06 Rayna Greenberg? That is, sorry.
7:08 Ashley Hesseltine? That's not even the worst thing of all. And was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024, headlining the biggest tour in history.
7:16 Rayna Greenberg? This is her publicist?
7:17 Ashley Hesseltine? Her pup.
7:18 Rayna Greenberg? That is her lawyer. Statement is incredible, her lawyer, yes. That statement is so incredible on so many levels.
7:24 Ashley Hesseltine? Don't involve me in your petty little bullshit.
7:27 Rayna Greenberg? Keep my name out of your mouth. She didn't even see the movie till after most of y'all. Her friend's movie, she was like, I'm so busy.
7:35 Ashley Hesseltine? She's like, no, legitimately, do you know who I am? Do you understand how busy I was?
7:42 Rayna Greenberg? I was, I don't know. I think your favorite part is the tour, obviously, but for some reason.
7:48 Ashley Hesseltine? She didn't even see it until weeks after all y'all.
7:51 Rayna Greenberg? Well, that's like the funny part, like she's like.
7:53 Ashley Hesseltine? It was not on her radar.
7:55 Rayna Greenberg? She was just like, just so you know, I was busy. But on top of being busy, I don't care about your little movie.
8:00 Ashley Hesseltine? Right, like I did have days off and I didn't go see it.
8:04 Rayna Greenberg? They sent me a screener, I didn't care.
8:06 Ashley Hesseltine? Like, it's crazy.
8:08 Rayna Greenberg? Travis and I were laying in bed, hanging out, we chose not to watch it.
8:11 Ashley Hesseltine? Taylor saw it after us.
8:14 Ashley Hesseltine? Her best friend's movie.
8:15 Rayna Greenberg? Well, you know Blake Lively like shopped around this whole story about how she rescored the film and she got Taylor to include her song in it. And she made like a whole big thing about it.
8:24 Ashley Hesseltine? Well, yeah, there were text messages between her and Justin Baldoni. Taylor this, Taylor that, Taylor thinks this, Taylor thinks that. And her lawyers are like, Taylor didn't think about it once. Keep her name out your mouth. Okay, well, that's what's going on. I did this little radio interview this morning with Salt Lake, Salt Lake City, a radio station in Salt Lake City, like a morning radio show. And at the very end, they wanted to talk about some pop culture stuff in the snack and they asked me what team I'm on, like team Blake or team Justin. And I was like, is this a trap? And we all agreed, like we'd go back and forth, but we're just team Taylor. And anyway, I'll be there this weekend. If you guys want to come see me in Salt Lake City.
9:01 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, that'll be fun.
9:01 Ashley Hesseltine? But I did a little fun radio promo. It was funny. They were like, really want to talk about the snack.
9:05 Rayna Greenberg? No, I love it.
9:05 Ashley Hesseltine? Like the main radio host.
9:06 Rayna Greenberg? Which like, I always think about, like, when you and I do interviews and people are like, how'd you guys meet?
9:10 Ashley Hesseltine? And we're like, you could use us for more fun stuff. Like, how creative of them to do that. They literally were like, who do you want Sydney Sweeney to end up with? I'm like, oh shit, let's fucking go. And then I was like, oh, I'm supposed to plug the tour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the tour, the tour.
9:21 Rayna Greenberg? Who'd you say?
9:22 Ashley Hesseltine? I said Glenn Powell just because I'm basic, but also like, of course, I'd love to see MGK 2. That would just be weird.
9:29 Rayna Greenberg? Or Emrata.
9:29 Ashley Hesseltine? Or anybody. Yeah, or a woman. Yeah, Emrata. That's a better answer. You should have done the interview.
9:34 Rayna Greenberg? No, they're too hot together. It's too hot. I still remember the first time I saw Emrata's boobs. Gone Girl.
9:40 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh, not blurred lines?
9:41 Rayna Greenberg? No, full frontal.
9:43 Ashley Hesseltine? Emrata is full frontal in?
9:45 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
9:46 Ashley Hesseltine? But also the blurred lines video. That's what put her on the map.
9:48 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, but like nipples out.
9:50 Ashley Hesseltine? She was butt naked in blurred lines. I think she got harassed.
9:54 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, but like, you won't see the nipples in the music video.
9:57 Ashley Hesseltine? The uncut?
9:58 Rayna Greenberg? You do? I'm not on the internet watching the uncut, the uncut version.
10:03 Ashley Hesseltine? I didn't watch it. I thought that was the whole thing. I thought they were like butt ass naked.
10:07 Rayna Greenberg? Um, it was super creepy when you look back. So I know that she wrote about it in her book and she's done interviews about it, but I thought like, I didn't know that the general public had seen that.
10:16 Ashley Hesseltine? Well.
10:17 Rayna Greenberg? Like, in Gone Girl.
10:20 Rayna Greenberg? In Gone Girl, she's actually like, having sex with Ben Affleck. You see her like full frontal breasts.
10:26 Ashley Hesseltine? Breasts. When have I ever said breasts?
10:28 Rayna Greenberg? In the unrated version of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines, the female models are topless. Okay, so topless, so nipples, and wearing nude thongs. Yeah, I don't remember seeing pussies out. There's also a rated version of the video.
10:39 Ashley Hesseltine? Sometimes I think about blurred lines because it was the summer I turned 30. What a fucking creepy, fucking video, song, idea.
10:47 Rayna Greenberg? Blurred lines?
10:49 Ashley Hesseltine? Yes. So, like, we were just like, you know you want it. We're just singing this fucking rapey summer anthem.
10:54 Rayna Greenberg? I'm just driving around. It was the song of the summer.
10:59 Ashley Hesseltine? The song of the summer. We got tanks that said, what rhymes with hug me?
11:06 Rayna Greenberg? We're saying you know you want it.
11:08 Ashley Hesseltine? We made tanks that said, what rhymes with hug me? And they misspelled rhymes. They, the tank top store in Dewey spelled it R Y M E S. We had to go back. So now we each have two.
11:23 Rayna Greenberg? I gotta tell you this.
11:24 Ashley Hesseltine? I'm gonna put the photo up. I have this photo for sure.
11:26 Rayna Greenberg? Do you remember, like, we were probably in middle school, dancing to, "Step back, you're dancing kinda close." Do you remember this?
11:34 Ashley Hesseltine? Yes.
11:34 Rayna Greenberg? "Feel a little poke coming through."
11:35 Ashley Hesseltine? Feel a little poke coming through.
11:36 Rayna Greenberg? I had no idea what that meant. I was grinding with boys this song. I had no idea it was about getting a hard on.
11:41 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, so the song by Next, which I've seen them in concert at the Lovers and Friends Festival. Iconic, honestly. The song Too Close, I think it might have been 94. You can fact check me. And I remember Corey being like, "Hey, did you listen to the lyrics to this song? It says little poke coming through." And I'm like, what does that mean? It's got a boner?
12:00 Rayna Greenberg? I didn't know what it meant.
12:00 Ashley Hesseltine? Of a sixth grader.
12:02 Rayna Greenberg? I know.
12:02 Ashley Hesseltine? Whatever grade you were in.
12:07 Ashley Hesseltine? No, you're dancing, feel a little poke. The sixth grader's boner?
12:17 Rayna Greenberg? I had no idea what I was saying about.
12:19 Ashley Hesseltine? 97, okay. So I was like, I was ninth grade, you were 12.
12:23 Rayna Greenberg? Primates for boners. That was the age that boys were just walking around boners. They had no idea what to do with them.
12:29 Ashley Hesseltine? Right.
12:29 Rayna Greenberg? They just hadn't even learned about tuck in.
12:31 Ashley Hesseltine? No, like, you're like, you can't wear sweatpants to school, Trevor. Okay. Let's talk about the Pope.
12:39 Ashley Hesseltine? I, Raina, I can't get enough of this Pope. He's just from Chicago.
12:43 Rayna Greenberg? He, it feels unnatural.
12:45 Ashley Hesseltine? I didn't know this was an option, but why not? I didn't know you could be American.
12:51 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, I guess you can, but like,
12:53 Ashley Hesseltine? We have Catholicism here.
12:54 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, but like, it feels like against nature.
12:57 Ashley Hesseltine? But he has to travel over there? He has to live at the Vatican? This is a job transfer?
13:03 Rayna Greenberg? You have to live in the back.
13:04 Ashley Hesseltine? Right. Where's he living now? In fucking Wicker Park?
13:07 Rayna Greenberg? Just in Philly or something.
13:10 Rayna Greenberg? Do you think he goes like the? Do you think he goes like the Lincoln Park? Like, like the farmer's market on the weekends? He's, the Pope is like hooked up with girls in Chicago in the West Loop. Like, he went to college. I can't get over this.
13:26 Ashley Hesseltine? He went to college?
13:27 Rayna Greenberg? He was in Villanova.
13:28 Ashley Hesseltine? In Villanova.
13:28 Rayna Greenberg? He was just like at frat parties drinking jungle juice. Just a Pope.
13:32 Ashley Hesseltine? He was at Wawa. Like, I saw this reel, like, what do you think the Pope's Wawa order was? Like, the fact that, like, last week, we talked about the Delco pooper, and now we have the Delco poper. Like, the Pope was in Delco.
13:44 Rayna Greenberg? You're just not supposed to be able to make these jokes about the Pope. It's just, it feels unnatural. They're supposed to be, I mean, I was, this morning, I was like, they're supposed to be European, or they could be literally from anywhere, except for here. I can't take it seriously.
14:00 Ashley Hesseltine? So, I, yes, the memes were so funny, and they were like, what if, like, you were wondering how your old frat bro, Rob, from Villanova was doing? And he's the Pope now?
14:10 Rayna Greenberg? It's crazy.
14:11 Ashley Hesseltine? It's so nuts. But, listen, we, I'm down with this Pope. I like his vibes. He's another progressive enough Pope. And he has spoken out about the current administration and Trump and J.D. Vance. He doesn't tweet a lot, but when he does, which I love that, because that means he's, you know, a real Christian, and is pushing back against the other stuff. So, we were talking yesterday, and I asked you a question, which I immediately walked back, but I, you know, yesterday I was like very foggy. Yeah, and I was like, what'd I say? Why did the last?
14:43 Rayna Greenberg? Why would a Pope step down? Why did the last?
14:46 Ashley Hesseltine? I said, why the last Pope stepped down? And you, like, looked at me, like, because he died? And I was like, okay, I just had a total brain lapse. But then I, we wanted to look it up. So, a Pope typically dies in office. Most of the time.
14:58 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
14:59 Ashley Hesseltine? In 2013, Pope Benedict made history by becoming the first Pope in nearly 600 years to resign. So, the last time a Pope resigned, and we got Pope Francis and had that conclave, was the first time in 600 years they hadn't just died in office. He announced his resignation citing his advanced age and diminished strength effective February 28, 2013. Which, good for him. Like, I mean, what, you just die. I mean, towards the end of your papacy, you can't really be doing much if you're about to die.
15:32 Rayna Greenberg? The Supreme Court doesn't feel the same way. They're like, "I'm gonna ride this out forever."
15:36 Ashley Hesseltine? Exactly. And they really have to like make decisions. But I thought that was interesting. And we were just talking about how the way that people have treated this conclave, like it's the NFL Draft, and A, there was so much about him dying that went viral, but B, the movie Conclave. But, I mean, in 2013, yes, the internet was different. We didn't have TikTok. Instagram was different as well, but like, no one was talking about the conclave in 2013.
16:01 Rayna Greenberg? Not like it was the NFL Draft. Like, people-
16:03 Ashley Hesseltine? Nothing. I didn't know that word till the movie came out.
16:05 Rayna Greenberg? So, I knew it because I just like religious stuff and I like churches.
16:08 Ashley Hesseltine? You love churches.
16:09 Rayna Greenberg? And I love the Da Vinci Code and all this stuff. I'm like, very in the culture. But, um-
16:13 Ashley Hesseltine? And Italy.
16:15 Rayna Greenberg? And I love Italy. My sister-in-law's family's Italian, and I eat a lot of pasta. So, I knew a lot about it, but you haven't seen it just like play-by-play like a draft in history. I mean, every pop culture site was talking about this. And it just really was like spoken about so much. But, yes, this like predated so many social media things.
16:34 Ashley Hesseltine? So, RIP and congrats to Pope Rob.
16:38 Rayna Greenberg? Leo.
16:39 Ashley Hesseltine? His name is Robert.
16:42 Rayna Greenberg? That's Rob from college.
16:45 Ashley Hesseltine? That's Rob from-
16:46 Rayna Greenberg? You know what I'm thinking?
16:46 Ashley Hesseltine? Rob from Villanova is the Pope.
16:49 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, but let me ask you a question. I was in the shower this morning, just thinking like, there are people in America, in Philly, that are like, "I just hooked up with Rob." Like, but do you think he started off like Pope-like back then? Like, was he religious back then?
17:03 Ashley Hesseltine? I know. This is the thing I don't know. Are you always like celibate and getting ready to be the Pope? Like, or did Rob fuck in college?
17:10 Rayna Greenberg? I'm trying. I want to know. Like, are there people that are gonna come forward like, "I smoked a joint with Rob"?
17:15 Ashley Hesseltine? 100%.
17:16 Rayna Greenberg? Like, right?
17:16 Ashley Hesseltine? He has that vibe. Do you ever look at his old pics? He was a father.
17:22 Ashley Hesseltine? We'll put one up on the screen.
17:25 Rayna Greenberg? I really want to know. I want to know, like, did he just have like a normal college experience? He was just like drinking bags of wine. So I think he played slap the bag. Like, did he do this?
17:35 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, like totally played flip cup. He spent much of his career as a missionary in South America and holds dual citizenship in the US and Peru where he served as bishop. So, I mean, yeah, he went to Villanova. I don't know, after college, it sounded like he went a different direction than the other bros that went to school in Delco. But, you know, that's what it is.
17:52 Rayna Greenberg? You never thought you would see it. Not a frontrunner, but all right, we have a new Pope.
17:56 Ashley Hesseltine? Okay, Halle Berry's steamy post.
17:59 Rayna Greenberg? You showed me this.
18:00 Ashley Hesseltine? I showed you this yesterday. It's on her feed. I thought this was a story that would have come down.
18:05 Rayna Greenberg? No, no, no. Feed post. So obviously, Mother's Day was Sunday. There was tons of posts. I didn't see a lot of crazy behavior. You didn't see a lot. Justin Bieber posted something for his thing in the morning. He said something along the lines of "Mother's Day sucks."
18:18 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh.
18:18 Rayna Greenberg? Um, it said like, "Happy Mother's Day, but this day sucks," or something like that.
18:22 Ashley Hesseltine? That sounds like something was going on.
18:22 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, so people think, I mean, people have been speculating about him in general, but other than that, not a lot of crazy Mother's Day behavior. Um, most people just...
18:29 Ashley Hesseltine? It's usually a pretty chill holiday.
18:30 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, it's not a day when people really let it fly that much. I know it's a complicated day for a lot of people, but mostly normal behavior, except for Halle Berry.
18:38 Ashley Hesseltine? So Halle Berry, we'll put it up on the screen, but you guys can go watch it in full. So she is laying in bed, appears to be naked, you know, sheets up around her titties with her man, who is a musician. His name is Van Hunt. Uh, she's been with him since 2020. Lucky guy. And she's holding a lube. I looked it up. She works with this lube company.
18:58 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, it sounded like an ad for a lube company.
19:00 Ashley Hesseltine? Which will remain nameless. Obviously, we need to send her some of our lube, which we have the best lube. It's called Juiced Up Vibes Only, vibesonly.com. You guys can go get it. But she's just like, I had a, like, we're about to get it in. We're about to get slip and slide with this lube and get it in. And they are giggling. They seem maybe a little high or tipsy.
19:19 Rayna Greenberg? I, I loved it. It made me feel uncomfortable.
19:22 Ashley Hesseltine? I just think this, you know what? We just all need to be a little less prude. Like, you know, I'm like, I should do this. I should do this for our lube.
19:29 Rayna Greenberg? Feed, post it. In bed. Listen, that should have been a story. That was crazy. Kathy in bed this weekend. Making an ad. Slurring in bed, naked with your man. He made the most mid joke of all time. She laughed like she was in bed with a comedian.
19:43 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, but you, you're, these people are so, like, in love and horny for each other. I think that's what came through for me.
19:50 Rayna Greenberg? You think they're horny? You think they're so horny, they stop and they're like, let's get the camera and film this and feed post this.
19:55 Ashley Hesseltine? And then they got into it. And so I think I want to parody this.
19:58 Rayna Greenberg? She's so funny.
20:00 Ashley Hesseltine? Stitch this. Even, I was telling you, like, I, whatever people want to do, there's no nudity. It's like sexy. She's the most gorgeous woman alive. Her man is sexy. Like, they're having fun. She's part of this lube company. Like, I respect it in all ways, but you are watching it. Like, I'm not supposed to see this.
20:16 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, it felt like it should have been a story that came down a few minutes later. And also, like, she posted, she started Mother's Day with stuff for her kids, I think. And then the video, she's saying, like, about to end Mother's Day in an amazing way. And they're like, talking about how they're about to end the day by fucking.
20:30 Ashley Hesseltine? By slipping and sliding. Okay, so the comments did not disappoint. Obviously, there was 9,000 comments. A lot of people were like, what the Halle Berry? What the Halle Berry? And someone said, not live from the sheets. Um, I know that's right. Y'all, hi. My girl living her best life. This is my definition of living my life and not giving a fuck. I will enjoy the rest of my evening knowing at this very moment, you're getting the Mario coins knocked out of you. Thank you. I saw this one meme that was like, why is Halle on here telling us she's about to go through the mattress? She's about to get put through the mattress.
21:03 Rayna Greenberg? I feel so proud of society on this one because like, I feel like a few years ago, this would have been a real, like, clutch your pearls moment. And like, this isn't getting like, big news, like the Mary Morris vagina thing. It just, I feel like I thought it would have made bigger headlines. No one cares.
21:19 Ashley Hesseltine? Yes, people are like, this is a family page. We're in the grown folks business. You two are adorable, beautiful couple, happy Mother's Day. It's just, and yes, a lot of like, she's high as fuck. I feel like I shouldn't be here with y'all. And somebody said LOL, her man said, hurry up.
21:37 Rayna Greenberg? Also, like, why do they have to bring Mother's Day into this? She could have posted this the next day. She had to bring up Mother's Day like six times.
21:43 Ashley Hesseltine? No.
21:43 Rayna Greenberg? You know what I would say about Halle Berry? It's a personal anecdote about Halle Berry. So I used to work at this restaurant, Quality Meats in New York City. I was the manager there and it is about a block from the Plaza Hotel. You're by all these like really beautiful, expensive hotels along Central Park. And so we got tons of celebrities. We had so, so, so many like very famous A-listers, politicians, athletes. I think one of the nicest people I ever met in my life was Halle Berry. She couldn't have been kinder. She came in without a reservation. She was so touched that we gave her a table, that we made space for her. She was so wonderful to the staff. On her way out, she thanked me again. I was like a manager there. She just couldn't have been kinder to everybody.
22:22 Ashley Hesseltine? Can't you feel it?
22:23 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
22:23 Ashley Hesseltine? You just know it.
22:24 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
22:25 Ashley Hesseltine? You know it to be true. She's, seems so authentically a great person.
22:30 Rayna Greenberg? You know who was the worst male athletes just across the board? Couldn't have been ruder or more disgusting.
22:36 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, I believe it. And then one comedian, I think that you mentioned one time before.
22:41 Rayna Greenberg? That was when I worked at Fish Tale in the Upper East Side and she was a drunk bitch.
22:45 Ashley Hesseltine? Quality Meats was in Devil's Prada. Like, they showed it.
22:49 Rayna Greenberg? It was?
22:49 Ashley Hesseltine? Just briefly.
22:50 Rayna Greenberg? Oh, Smith and Wenzel.
22:51 Ashley Hesseltine? No, but they show this Quality Meats. I think she had to go there to get the steak that early in the morning. There's something where they-
22:56 Rayna Greenberg? That's Smith and Wenzel.
22:57 Ashley Hesseltine? But, Rain, I'm telling you, there's a scene, it says Quality Meats.
23:00 Rayna Greenberg? They own, Smith and Wenzel owns Quality Meats.
23:03 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh, okay. I just saw, I said it said Quality Meats and I told my fiance, like, Rain used to work there.
23:07 Rayna Greenberg? Oh, maybe it's a sign inside of Smith and Wenzel's that says Quality Meats. So Alan Stillman, who started Fridays, opened Smith and Wenzel's in Friday in New York, one of the highest grossing restaurants in the country, and they opened Quality Meats where I worked.
23:19 Ashley Hesseltine? Okay, there you go. There's your restaurant history lesson today. Um, okay. So Beyonce.
23:26 Rayna Greenberg? You went?
23:26 Ashley Hesseltine? Cowboy Carter is breaking records. People like the tour is not selling. Oh, really, bitch? First five dates of the tour, which were all in LA, earned a record-setting gross 55 million, making it the highest grossing single venue engagement by woman in box score history, reports Billboard. So I went.
23:41 Rayna Greenberg? Shock there.
23:42 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, but people were like, it's not, it's, I mean, it's, it's old. I think everything's moving a little slower these days. There was like some controversy with the ticket prices being so high.
23:52 Rayna Greenberg? Well, didn't she sell six shows out? Was that what it was? She, four sold out immediately? She added two?
23:58 Ashley Hesseltine? She added a fifth. Yeah, I think. That's what I think.
24:01 Rayna Greenberg? So five or six, around then?
24:02 Ashley Hesseltine? She did five.
24:03 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
24:04 Ashley Hesseltine? So I went on the last night. It was incredible. It was just truly a religious experience. I like knew she was gonna, in my heart of hearts, I never looked at a setlist. I wouldn't be surprised, but I knew she was gonna come out to American Requiem and I was just gonna like lose it. And so she comes out. There's so much like, I don't know, it felt very like reclaiming the flag in a lot of ways. It's kind of given us the ick the last eight to 10 years, you know? And she does American Requiem. She sings part of the National Anthem, then she goes into Freedom. I lost it. I couldn't handle it. I was crying. Taylor filmed me because she was like, you're gonna lose your mind when it goes from Beyonce singing the Star Spangled Banner into Freedom. There was just a lot of like symbolism with that. But I mean, the performances, the dancers, Blue Ivy, such a sleigh. Her little daughter, Rumi,
24:45 Ashley Hesseltine? was so cute. The fashion, again, like the, you know, subtle, but it was political messaging, of course. And I saw it in the pit and it was just so amazing. I felt like I was such a part of the show. I was so close. It was an incredible experience at SoFi and just being in it like that. Like, I just loved it so much. That's like how I want to see my favorite artist. This isn't like, I'll only go if I'm on the floor. But like, to be someone you love that much, like you just want to be in it. And so that made it really special. And just all the people around, it was just, it was the greatest I've ever seen her. This is the fourth time I've seen her. And it was like the greatest show I've ever seen. But just being in the audience, you're like, this is just so diverse and inclusive
25:27 Ashley Hesseltine? and like, the vibes are so high and everybody's so kind to each other. You're like, this is the America I want to live in.
25:33 Rayna Greenberg? That's so nice.
25:34 Ashley Hesseltine? And it was just the, the absolute best.
25:36 Rayna Greenberg? So I didn't get to go with you and I was very sad about it. I was out of town.
25:39 Ashley Hesseltine? But you said you didn't want to do the floor, which I get as a short person.
25:42 Rayna Greenberg? I don't love the experience on the floor.
25:44 Ashley Hesseltine? It's not great. Taylor and I were like, it's nice to be tall down here.
25:49 Rayna Greenberg? You and I saw on the run on the floor, it was a bad experience.
25:53 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, okay.
25:54 Rayna Greenberg? But I really want to see this one because I just, I want to see Blue Ivy dance and it's just been so special. And I get so emotional seeing her and just like she's a part of this and then to see Rumi. But I was going to ask you, is Rumi at every show in LA?
26:05 Ashley Hesseltine? I think she was.
26:06 Rayna Greenberg? All five?
26:07 Ashley Hesseltine? So I don't know if Rumi's doing the whole tour.
26:09 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, it's so cute to see her backstage with like her handlers and she's just like so excited. And I just, I find it so beautiful and special.
26:16 Ashley Hesseltine? Yes. And then Beyonce sings Protector and I mean, especially if you're a mother, like I mean, I was like emotional about it.
26:21 Rayna Greenberg? I'm going to like get sick of crying.
26:23 Ashley Hesseltine? Both of her daughters, I was like, I can't handle this. And the visuals, Rainy, you would die over the visuals. For Renaissance, we didn't feel as captivated by the visuals. When she takes breaks and she does alpha changes, we felt like we lost a little momentum. They were great. They were amazing. Don't get it twisted, but these, you're going to die. Well, if you see it, you should try to see it somewhere.
26:41 Rayna Greenberg? Maybe we'll try to see it in New York.
26:42 Ashley Hesseltine? Vegas, maybe something like that.
26:43 Rayna Greenberg? Will you come with me? You want to go to Vegas?
26:45 Ashley Hesseltine? I've thought about Vegas. We'll talk about it. My fiance's sister's going with her husband, so it could be an opportunity to go in July. We'll talk about it. But the visuals, like they're all like Western. And then she's this giant, like 700 foot woman or whatever, and she's picking up all these monuments. And did you see the Sphere sent her a cease and desist?
27:04 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
27:05 Ashley Hesseltine? And so now it's changed to Allegiant Stadium.
27:07 Rayna Greenberg? Uh huh.
27:08 Ashley Hesseltine? They changed it.
27:09 Rayna Greenberg? Crazy.
27:10 Ashley Hesseltine? Right. What a Blake L for the Sphere to not want that sort of like promo. But the visuals are incredible. There's this one thing she like is in this saloon and she smashes this beer bottle over this girl's head. Who's like flirting with her man, very like Jolene coded. I was just losing at the visuals. They really captivated me in those breaks. I feel like the show didn't lose any momentum at all.
27:29 Rayna Greenberg? Okay. That's the only thing I didn't like about the last show.
27:31 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, you just want to see her. Yeah.
27:32 Rayna Greenberg? We'd be like five songs, then we sat, five more songs than you said.
27:36 Ashley Hesseltine? No, I was sitting. I was up and dancing.
27:37 Rayna Greenberg? Well, pitch me some ideas for Vegas. You know, I'm always down for Vegas.
27:40 Ashley Hesseltine? And Meghan and Harry were there the night I was there.
27:43 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
27:43 Ashley Hesseltine? I did have better seats than them. They were probably in the box, but they were farther back than me.
27:47 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
27:48 Ashley Hesseltine? So, I mean, Meghan and Harry were there. They, uh...
27:53 Rayna Greenberg? Listen, I think that there's like, you can like them all, but like you definitely have a preference between Taylor Swift and Beyonce. Meghan is giving Taylor.
28:01 Ashley Hesseltine? Totally.
28:04 Ashley Hesseltine? I couldn't have seen this coming.
28:06 Rayna Greenberg? This was a shock to be honest.
28:08 Ashley Hesseltine? Meghan Markle is-
28:09 Rayna Greenberg? How did she get there?
28:10 Ashley Hesseltine? It gives Taylor Swift energy, but the first paragraph of the cut, I just have to read it. Did you read this? It's pretty savage. The headline is Harry and Meghan had an amazing time at Cowboy Carter. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been having a rough go of it in recent weeks. Prince William is reportedly furious that Meghan used her Royal Highness title in private. Harry lost his years-long battle for government-funded security in the UK. And then he told the BBC that his dad isn't even talking to him. What is the remedy for when you and your spouse are both going through it? Beyonce, of course.
28:38 Rayna Greenberg? This was a good move. This is the most likable thing that she's done in ages.
28:42 Ashley Hesseltine? So yeah, so it was great. Can't recommend enough. You guys should see the Cowboy Carter tour. I mean, also, I don't know, some people are like, that's not my favorite album. I loved the album so much. It's not my number one favorite, but it's like top.
28:53 Rayna Greenberg? I loved it. I also like, it annoys me when people say they don't like country music. I think she transcends what quote-unquote "country" is, but like-
29:02 Ashley Hesseltine? I don't identify as a country music lover.
29:03 Rayna Greenberg? I just, I don't like anybody that's- Yeah, I just, I think it's a great album. I also just think it's annoying when people say I don't like country. To me, that's like, people are like, it's about like trucks and your dog. And to me, that's like a very reductive way to look at country. It's a very dynamic music. Listen, are there other genres that are a little better? Yeah, sure. But I love country music. I think it's a blast. I like the fashion. I just think it's fun.
29:24 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, so Cowboy Carter, yee-haw. And another thing that we saw last week, jam-packed week. Went to the movies. I saw Sinners. I loved Sinners as well. But we went to a screening for Materialists, which is a movie from A24. We love everything A24 does. And we were there with Dakota Johnson.
29:47 Rayna Greenberg? And her mom.
29:48 Ashley Hesseltine? Her mom. And Celine Song, the writer and director of the movie. But yeah, it was great. I like, it was a small theater. It was at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, in their screening room. And I almost sat in this chair. And then I looked at it, it said, "Reserve for Melanie Griffith." I was like, oh, I guess that's Melanie's chair.
30:05 Rayna Greenberg? Oh, we get to hear? Ashley and I just loved the movie. It's written and created by a woman. It is about Dakota Johnson. She starts it as a high end New York City matchmaker. And in her personal life, she is sort of between these two guys, but played by Pedro Pascal, who's a wealthy New York finance guy and her ex, who's played by Chris Evans. And he's sort of like this broke guy that used to date her. And you know, it's like, you know,
30:31 Ashley Hesseltine? I've got a broke ex.
30:32 Rayna Greenberg? A broke ex. She's sort of between like love and money, essentially. We just loved it. I liked talking about the way women date, dating in New York City. I liked her character. She seemed empowered, successful. I just liked Dakota Johnson a lot. It was a great movie. I think you can take your partner, go on a date night, or you can go on a girls' night. Like, I think either one would be like really fun. I think men would still like this, but I loved it. Me and you saw it with one of our girlfriends, Sally, and it was just like such a fun girls' night.
31:01 Ashley Hesseltine? I know. I really want my fiancee to see it. I was like not, there's this one part of it and we're not going to give it away today either. Because this movie just came out. We're not going to obviously review it in a spoiling way. But I was like, there's this part, I was like, I just can't wait for like his, get his thoughts on this. I loved this movie from minute one. Like, I don't know that I've seen a movie so honestly and realistically explore the dynamics of dating and like what people value and what they actually want, if they're being honest with themselves and how much things like money and height and age and thinness matter.
31:36 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
31:37 Ashley Hesseltine? And
31:37 Rayna Greenberg? To men and women.
31:38 Ashley Hesseltine? To men and women, exactly. They explore both. And I just kept wanting to cry because I was like, this is so real. And this is what we get when women make movies for women. And we think men would love this movie too, but like women dating in New York, trying to find someone. There's a storyline about a 39 year old woman and her experience. And it just, it just really. I felt it.
32:00 Rayna Greenberg? I totally agree with what you said, and I love that they showed it from both perspectives. And they have men that they're sort of like going through, like, what do these men want? They're talking about like wanting somebody a little bit older, more important, and a little more established. And this guy, just it made me, he was like, no, I want her to be, I still want her to be like 26.
32:14 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, he's like, I want someone older. And she's like, I have this 31 year old. He's like, I can't be clear enough. I meant older than 22, but 27. I love Dakota Johnson so much. And I used to talk about her in the movie, this movie that I love called How to Be Single. And these aren't related at all, but it just almost felt like this was an extension of that, just her in New York City and like more grown up. And Pedro Pascal is so sexy. Chris Evans, he's the best Chris, in my point, in my opinion of the four Chris's.
32:40 Rayna Greenberg? His voice is unexpected. It's so deep.
32:42 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah. And there's this scene, I can't stop thinking about it. She, the end goal as a matchmaker is to be able to get married. And so if her clients get married, she goes to the wedding. And the wedding is kind of how it all starts, and where these two men come into play. But this moment she has with the bride, I can't stop thinking about it. Like, the bride is having some doubts. They call her in as the fixer, and she goes in and this conversation she has with this bride, I was in the edge of my fucking seat. Like, every word. Like, it was just so incredible. Like, you have to see this.
33:18 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
33:18 Ashley Hesseltine? You guys.
33:18 Rayna Greenberg? Um, it's just, it's great themes of who we pick and why and what we value. And it's only in theaters June 13th. So make a night out of it. Plan your, plan your night and go see it. We just, we loved it so much.
33:31 Ashley Hesseltine? And we're just going to talk about a couple other partners for this episode, Olive Ave Jewelry. Okay, I am wearing my earrings. They are these little hoops.
33:39 Rayna Greenberg? I love them. They look so nice.
33:41 Ashley Hesseltine? They have these rubies on them. And then a necklace as well, that is a ruby that you guys can get.
33:46 Rayna Greenberg? So I got the Lexa, and I really like this. I like their whole vibe. It's, they have stuff that's custom and stuff that you can just go ahead and pick off the website. And my ring that I got, it has little stones on it. You feel the quality of it. As soon as I took it out, the packaging was stunning. This would be an incredible gift for somebody else. It just came in this beautiful box. And I just, I love the weight and the quality of it. You could feel that it's just really nice.
34:13 Ashley Hesseltine? Totally. Yeah, I really love it. I love the way it looks. And of course, my engagement ring is ruby, so I wanted like all ruby stuff. And they offer handcrafted rings, fine jewelry, custom designs for every occasion. So we really just love that they are focused on the special occasions where jewelry is involved, proposals, of course, but friendship bracelets, simply a just because gift. Olive Ave has you covered for yourself or someone else. These pieces are really made to last, and we love the personalization as well. So Raina and I are just really feeling it. And we love jewelry. And I've been wearing even these earrings in my second hole, and then like a hoop with them. So I'm like layering it. I'm doing the necklace with two other necklaces. Like, I'm just really having fun with it.
34:51 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, there's a lot to choose from. It's really stylish. It's really fun. It's a great gift for yourself or somebody else.

And Addy, Raina, let me ask you a question. How would you feel if you lost your libido?
35:26 Rayna Greenberg? My sex drive. Is that like a serious question? I'd never recover.
35:29 Ashley Hesseltine? I know, right? Well, the fact is, millions of premenopausal women are frustrated because they lost their libido. But we're here to let you know that there's a treatment called ADDY that is clinically proven to boost libido in certain premenopausal women. And this isn't some sketchy gas station pill. It's FDA approved. Talk to your doctor to see if ADDY is right for you. And again, it is clinically proven.
35:51 Rayna Greenberg? I love that women have this option.
35:53 Ashley Hesseltine? Same. You can go learn more at addyi.com. That is A-D-D-Y-I.com. ADDY, or Flavencrin, is for premenopausal women with acquired generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder, HSDD, who have not had problems with libido.
36:08 Speaker 02 Low sexual desire in the past, who have low sexual desire, no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner. The low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship, or medicine or other drug use. Addy is not for use in men or to enhance sexual performance. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink one to two standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your Addy dose. Wait at least two hours after drinking before taking Addy at bedtime. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is also increased if you take certain prescriptions, over the counter or herbal medications, or have liver problems. Low blood pressure and fainting can happen when you take Addy, even if you don't drink alcohol or take other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Addy. Allergic reactions may include hives, itching, or trouble breathing. Sleepiness, sometimes serious, can occur.
36:50 Speaker 02 Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and dry mouth. See full PI and medication guide, including boxed warning, at addyi.com/PI, or call 844-PINK-PILL. Addy.
37:02 Ashley Hesseltine? That is A-D-D-Y-I dot com.
37:06 Rayna Greenberg? So, a lot is happening in the TV world right now. A lot is coming out and we're gonna give you like stuff to watch for spring. It's really fun, but big, big, big news out of Bravo this week. So Bravo has made a lot of announcements this week and we're gonna unpack some of it. So first and foremost, they have canceled The Real Housewives of Newark.
37:27 Ashley Hesseltine? It felt crazy to me.
37:29 Rayna Greenberg? It felt crazy.
37:30 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
37:30 Rayna Greenberg? So they did two seasons with a newer cast. The first season was fine, the second season got like heavily criticized as it just being sort of inauthentic, boring, these women sort of had nothing to do with each other's lives. And I'm just sort of, it made me kind of, I couldn't but wonder, what is the appetite for shows like this anymore? And even if we started this snack almost a year ago, and I remember even a year ago talking about how they were canceling Real Housewives of New Jersey, shaking up the cast of Potomac and Atlanta, and you know, why isn't there an appetite for this type of show like there used to be? And when I think about like the greatest reality shows, I think Vanderpump was the greatest reality show ever. And the reason why was because this is an authentic group of people that genuinely
38:14 Rayna Greenberg? worked together, dated each other, lived together, they're in each other's weddings. Things, they're in each other's divorce proceedings. I mean, this is a group of people that really was actually in each other's lives. And I think that, I mean, when Scandival happened and they all hated each other and it splintered, that show kind of ended. Cause I think there's a real hunger for authenticity. And if you have these ensemble casts of people and the only purpose of these shows is to just fight with each other.
38:37 Ashley Hesseltine? No.
38:38 Rayna Greenberg? I, I'm proud to say there is less of an appetite for this today.
38:42 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, I mean, I'm not this like Real Housewives fan, really, just because I can't really claim to be because I don't watch them enough. And there are seasons I haven't ever seen, but I obviously watched Atlanta when I lived there and that was huge. Obviously it was like the number one show on Bravo, maybe still is. I liked New Jersey because they were family and friends. Like I gravitated towards it immediately and I watched it for a few seasons because of that. Like they really know each other. Some of these people are family. Felt like the mob, but it was just like a different vibe.
39:13 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
39:13 Ashley Hesseltine? I do not want to see a bunch of people that got thrown together. I mean, I like Summer House in terms of the people who have the relationships, like they bring new people in and people don't really latch on. Unless there's really some drama, like you, a lot of people are saying like Summer House needs reboot. Like, let's see the people we've come to know in the city. Like this is getting kind of old, but we still want to see them and their relationship dynamics. The people that are actually, you know, friends, for lack of a better word, and have known each other for years.
39:41 Rayna Greenberg? Yes. I think this format of like, let's keep adding new people in every year and just watch these people fucking fight. I think that that's kind of like, everything comes to an end at some point. Like, I just don't think that that's really what people want. When you think about the biggest reality TV shows today, it's Mormon Wives. These people have pre-existing relationships. It's dating shows that are one season cast. So you have like Love Island, you have Love is Blind, RuPaul's Drag Race, like these, these like ensemble cast shows. I, I don't know, they might just kind of be on the way out.
40:13 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, and things just run their course.
40:15 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
40:15 Ashley Hesseltine? Like, you know, The Bachelor is not what it used to be. The Bachelor, though, it's been on for fucking forever. But, I mean, people's tastes change. Things just evolve.
40:23 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
40:23 Ashley Hesseltine? So.
40:24 Rayna Greenberg? So Bravo is trying to, I guess, shake things up. They've announced a ton of new shows, so. They're rebooting Vanderpump with a new cast. I don't know how that's gonna go. They tried to reboot it in 2019 and add these new cast members and they essentially casted them through talent agencies and it didn't really stick. There's a new Real Housewives of Rhode Island, which people are excited about. Ladies of London is coming back, which I loved that show.
40:45 Ashley Hesseltine? I didn't know it.
40:45 Rayna Greenberg? It was about three to four seasons. Carolyn Stanbury got really big from it and I just really enjoyed it because I was watching people from another place. Half of it was Americans and half of it was people from London. They're sort of redoing Shaws of Sunset. They're calling it the Valley Persian Style and they're bringing back some of the cast members like Reza, who were previously on Shaws of Sunset and I did enjoy that show. And then finally, Wife Swap, the Real Housewives edition. So they're-
41:12 Ashley Hesseltine? This is real?
41:13 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
41:13 Ashley Hesseltine? It sounds like, it sounds like an Onion article.
41:15 Rayna Greenberg? I used to love Real House-
41:17 Ashley Hesseltine? Wife Swap? Like, old school Wife Swap. Like, when it was just like-
41:20 Rayna Greenberg? Favorite thing.
41:21 Ashley Hesseltine? Average people and someone's wife would come in and like have to clean the house and shit.
41:24 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
41:24 Ashley Hesseltine? Okay.
41:25 Rayna Greenberg? I was, but it's gonna be with like, real people now.
41:28 Ashley Hesseltine? That's crazy.
41:28 Rayna Greenberg? From the Real Housewives. So Bravo is trying to like shake things up. I mean, I like them saying like, we're gonna try something different.
41:34 Ashley Hesseltine? They have to. I mean, you gotta evolve.
41:36 Rayna Greenberg? Yes. And I think they staked this whole network on Real Housewives and I just don't think people care about it that much anymore. And like you said, even Summer House, people are like, I don't know that I need to watch these people just get drunk at this house anymore.
41:46 Ashley Hesseltine? Mm-hmm.
41:46 Rayna Greenberg? I thought, people were saying Lindsay Hybrow might be on Real Housewives, so that's clearly not gonna happen. Has Paige outgrown the show? Paige Sorbo is more famous than being on the Summer House.
41:55 Ashley Hesseltine? The Summer House, yeah.
41:56 Rayna Greenberg? So I wonder what's gonna happen.
41:58 Ashley Hesseltine? We'll see. And so much other TV. I thought we, I thought TV was like, takes summer breaks. What is, it's so much.
42:05 Rayna Greenberg? I thought maybe like you get like a couple like trashy dating shows over the summer. I mean, it is full send.
42:11 Ashley Hesseltine? It is wild. We're both watching The Four Seasons. The, the for me. The White Lotus, The Four Seasons. Get out of here.
42:18 Rayna Greenberg? Is it the? It is the? You're sure?
42:20 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
42:20 Rayna Greenberg? It's not Four, it's just not-
42:21 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh, it's The Four Seasons. It's The White Lotus. So this is Tina Fey, uh, her, whatever, show. She's obviously a writer on it. Steve Carell, Will Fort, Coleman Domingo. And it's about these three couples that they always vacation together. They've been friends- Long time, they have a college tie in that's some of the men college. And one of the couples breaks up, we're not going to tell you who. It happens very early on and then them navigating that through four seasons, two episodes each season. So it starts with spring and then summer and fall. I just finished fall last night.
42:54 Rayna Greenberg? I just finished fall last night too.
42:55 Ashley Hesseltine? Okay.
42:55 Rayna Greenberg? I love it. So I have one more season left. I actually started like 10 minutes into the winter and then that's it. I actually paced this out a little bit more than I typically do with a show.
43:04 Ashley Hesseltine? You binge a whole year?
43:06 Rayna Greenberg? I did not binge the whole year, but I love it. And I think it explores relationship dynamics between people that are a little older, which I like also. I mean, it's people that who have children in college. So I enjoyed the relationship dynamics and there's so much coming out for you guys in the next like three weeks.
43:23 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
43:23 Rayna Greenberg? So tonight, as this airs, overcompensating is coming out on Amazon Prime. That's Benny Drama and our friend Mary Beth Brown, who's a former guest of the show. It's about kids in college and it really explores like sexuality. And also tonight, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, so season two is premiering as well. I mean, there is so much coming out. This one I'm very excited about, Sirens, which is a new Netflix show.
43:44 Ashley Hesseltine? Megan Fahey.
43:44 Rayna Greenberg? With Megan Fahey and she basically reconnects with her sister who is staying in this house that's owned by Julianne Moore. And it seems like something like shady is going on in the house. And I'm very, very excited to watch this.
43:56 Ashley Hesseltine? Okay. And then, and just like that, our favorite train wreck, the Sex and the City reboot, season three. I can't fucking wait.
44:03 Rayna Greenberg? I can't believe they keep giving them a new season.
44:04 Ashley Hesseltine? I know.
44:05 Rayna Greenberg? I was like, surely this will not keep going.
44:07 Ashley Hesseltine? May 29th. And then for all you Love Island people, we're going to get involved this year, right? We're going to try.
44:12 Rayna Greenberg? I told you I committed to watching it. I just, I didn't like that I wasn't part of the culture last year.
44:17 Ashley Hesseltine? I know, we felt really left out.
44:17 Rayna Greenberg? I really hate that there's like cultural references. I like that Ariana Maddox is back. She gave an interview on Watch What Happens Live this week, just kind of giving an update on her life. Doesn't seem like she's really friends with that cast that much anymore. She is still with her boyfriend and she still owns that house with Tom Sandoval. Sell the house.
44:35 Ashley Hesseltine? Something's never changed. Okay, so that's gonna be June 3rd, Love Island USA, season seven premiere, Tyres, Netflix show, Shane Gillis's show, season two, June 5th, Ginny and Georgia.
44:46 Rayna Greenberg? Wait, we gotta go back to Tyres.
44:47 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh, okay.
44:48 Rayna Greenberg? Tyres might be the thing I laughed out loud the hardest to last year, so I'm excited for that.
44:53 Ashley Hesseltine? And you wouldn't think it, but it is, it's, it's family friendly for some families. My parents both loved it.
44:58 Rayna Greenberg? Oh, for yours?
44:59 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, my family would like that.
45:00 Rayna Greenberg? Okay.
45:01 Ashley Hesseltine? So yes, Ginny and Georgia. I kinda forgot about this. I watched it right when we moved here, so over two years ago.
45:08 Rayna Greenberg? I remember, I already watched it.
45:09 Ashley Hesseltine? Love Ginny and Georgia so much. That's coming back June 5th. And then that's pretty much in the next couple of weeks. And then we also have America's Sweethearts, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders show in June. We have The Bear in June, season four. And then in July, the summer I turned pretty, but I need to talk about that.
45:28 Rayna Greenberg? At a later date.
45:29 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, in depth, at a later date.
45:30 Rayna Greenberg? I just, I mean, again, this speaks to like the appetite for certain types of content. I think we're seeing a lot of really high-end scripted content, really professionally produced. I think that that is what people are having an appetite for. And I mean, really, the only big reality show premieres are Love Island and Mormon Wives.
45:53 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, and they're like the top. I mean, the way people feel about Love Island, I mean, it's just like, I don't know. I, there was definitely a time where it's like, throw together anything, reality, and people will watch it. And now it's like, no, we got used to the White Lotus vibes.
46:08 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
46:09 Ashley Hesseltine? High-end production, HBO value. We're, that's, that's our bar. So there's that. And then we just have a few headlines for you guys.
46:18 Rayna Greenberg? Speaking of TV.
46:19 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
46:20 Rayna Greenberg? I am so excited about this one. So Tell Me Lies is gonna start filming and so they announced at the end of season two, Tell Me Lies, that the teacher, his name is Oliver, who Bree was having the affair with, that he was not coming back.
46:32 Ashley Hesseltine? Right.
46:32 Rayna Greenberg? They said definitely not coming back.
46:34 Ashley Hesseltine? And that's the husband of the creator.
46:35 Rayna Greenberg? Yes.
46:35 Ashley Hesseltine? Yes.
46:36 Rayna Greenberg? Now they have walked it back. He is coming back.
46:38 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh shit.
46:39 Rayna Greenberg? So I, we, I, we thought that storyline was over. We thought, we as a community. In the Tell Me Lies family, thought that that was over, but he is coming back, which I am, I'm so excited about. And it really, at the end of season two, Bree was getting these phone calls and you didn't know who they were from. And I assumed it was Oliver or his wife, who was her teacher.
47:01 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
47:01 Rayna Greenberg? But like, cause nothing really explained it. And then they said he wasn't coming back, but now.
47:06 Ashley Hesseltine? I can't even talk about Tell Me Lies, cause like, I'll just get too excited and it's still gonna be a while.
47:10 Rayna Greenberg? I know.
47:11 Ashley Hesseltine? We have a lot to hold us over since.
47:12 Rayna Greenberg? And if you guys have never read the book, I loved the book.
47:15 Ashley Hesseltine? Oh, yeah.
47:15 Rayna Greenberg? It was fantastic.
47:16 Ashley Hesseltine? Big fan of the book. And we're gonna maybe do books next week or the week after. We have some more books for you guys. There's a couple of books I've been wanting to talk about that I read recently.
47:22 Rayna Greenberg? Okay, next headline. Morgan Wall breaks his silence on his abrupt SNL exit. He went on a podcast. He essentially just said, I'd been there all week. I was ready to go home.
47:30 Ashley Hesseltine? That's why you skip the after-party. You don't walk offstage. That's not even an excuse for abruptly walking offstage. I'm sorry. That's like the dumbest shit I ever heard. I can understand skipping the after-party, leaving right after. You could have stayed 30 more seconds. Walking offstage into the camera, your excuse is not, I'd been there all week. You literally, that's 30 more seconds and you, this wouldn't have happened. And you wouldn't have looked like an asshole.
47:55 Rayna Greenberg? I mean, people worked on this with you all week.
47:56 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah.
47:57 Rayna Greenberg? You know, like, I was with my family all weekend. I was ready to get myself back to God's country, too. But I didn't make a big thing about it.
48:03 Ashley Hesseltine? Right, exactly. Like, you're not gonna miss your flight. Okay, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, comes in third place at Miss Maine USA pageant. This is everywhere. Everybody's talking about this. Third week in a row, we're gonna talk about Bill and Jordan.
48:18 Rayna Greenberg? I just can't, this is, I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about Bill Belichick in the audience at this little beauty pageant. He's won, what, five Super Bowls? And he has to watch his girlfriend come in third place? Bill Belichick's like, I've never come in third place. I can't relate.
48:35 Ashley Hesseltine? I was watching Erin Andrews talk about it on the Today Show and like, she was being nice. She was just like, this was a hot ticket, Miss Maine USA, you know, before trying to go to it. Cause they know she's like a celebrity now or infamously, but she's like, Bill Belichick is so intimidating. Like, she's like, you know, he's, Bill Belichick's intimidating to Tom Brady, the greatest athlete of all time, and he's front row with this beauty pageant. Like, I can't get over it.
49:01 Rayna Greenberg? I can't get over it.
49:03 Ashley Hesseltine? What was he thinking? He really is. Whatever you think of him, he's like truly a legend.
49:07 Rayna Greenberg? He's just like, look at her go.
49:08 Ashley Hesseltine? In football.
49:10 Rayna Greenberg? And she's like, and they're like, what would you do to start World Peace? And she's like, I think I would. Did you know she was a beauty pageant queen, whatever?
49:17 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, yeah, I knew she was a beauty queen. She had, I guess, some good answer about like fishermen. People liked it. And they were like, don't gloss over what she wants to do for the fishermen.
49:26 Rayna Greenberg? I thought that was a joke. Oh, she did talk about the fishermen? That was a real thing? Okay. She's a humanitarian for the fish.
49:34 Ashley Hesseltine? She cares about the fish. Let her cook. Let her cook.
49:38 Rayna Greenberg? Let her get third. She did not cook. He's like, look at her go in her little sparkly dress.
49:42 Ashley Hesseltine? To not win. Bill's like, every time I'm somewhere that we win.
49:46 Rayna Greenberg? I literally can't relate to this.
49:48 Ashley Hesseltine? Like, can you imagine winning fucking 10 Super Bowls and your girlfriend comes in third in Miss Maine USA? He's like, Tom Brady would never.
49:58 Rayna Greenberg? Do you think that they like, wouldn't let her win? Like, do you think if she had one, it would have been like too obvious? I just thought like, if they gave it to her, people would like, be upset about that too. That like, the other girls didn't have a real chance.
50:13 Ashley Hesseltine? Yeah, they would have thought it was rigged. But what is it?
50:16 Rayna Greenberg? That's true.
50:16 Ashley Hesseltine? You know?
50:17 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
50:18 Ashley Hesseltine? All right. Last headline. Naked dressing. Why Cannes is demanding celebrities wear clothes on the red carpet, which is an iconic headline. But the Cannes Film Festival says you can't be naked.
50:32 Rayna Greenberg? There's been a lot of nipples on the red carpet.
50:34 Ashley Hesseltine? Is that, that not allowed?
50:36 Rayna Greenberg? That is not allowed. And they want you, so I've seen some nipples on that carpet. Florence Pugh brought her nipples to the carpet.
50:43 Ashley Hesseltine? Always, she's bringing the nipples.
50:45 Rayna Greenberg? Bella Hadid brought her nipples to the carpet. They said, the aim is not to regulate attire per se, but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet in accordance with the institutional framework of the event, blah, blah. And French law.
50:55 Ashley Hesseltine? Which, what? Would this have even happened if it wasn't for Kanye's girlfriend at the Grammys? You know, like, that was crazy.
51:03 Rayna Greenberg? You have like, one person abuse it, ruins it for everybody.
51:05 Ashley Hesseltine? It ruins it for every, ruins nipples for everybody. Cause she showed up pussy out. With this Nazi.
51:12 Rayna Greenberg? Sorry, that part's not funny.
51:15 Ashley Hesseltine? Well, my delivery was funny.
51:16 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
51:18 Ashley Hesseltine? No, like, yeah, it's disgusting. So, yeah, like, France? I thought we were like wanting to be like nude and isn't that the thing?
51:27 Rayna Greenberg? I thought you go to beaches and you'd be nude.
51:29 Ashley Hesseltine? Nipples out, we're smoking a cig.
51:31 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah, even like in St. Martin, I was naked. I thought it was such a French, a French territory.
51:37 Ashley Hesseltine? So I guess you go to wear clothes this year. We won't be there, that's why we're not going.
51:41 Rayna Greenberg? Sorry, guys.
51:41 Ashley Hesseltine? It's not because we weren't invited.
51:43 Rayna Greenberg? If I can't have my nipples out, I'm not going.
51:45 Ashley Hesseltine? Exactly, we were invited and I was like, no, I already bought a thong for this. And that was all I was gonna wear. Now, now I can't. So those, that's the snack for you guys this week.
51:55 Rayna Greenberg? Yeah.
51:55 Ashley Hesseltine? Hope you liked it.
51:56 Rayna Greenberg? Hope you like it. And then, um, you know, let us know what you guys are watching, what you're reading. We'll do a summer reading list also coming up, but like a lot of cool TV to talk shit on coming up. I'm excited.
