• 1:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Go Birds.

• 1:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, ashess.com. Okay, so we're kicking off with a beef report.

• 1:27Rayna Greenberg?

  A lot of people got beefs.

• 1:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  There's a lot of beef. We got the beef.

• 1:31Rayna Greenberg?

  And it's, it's a lot to like unpack, okay? So Brianna Chicken Fry, Zach Bryan, they're at it again. She did not provoke this. Of course, a man provoked this. A woman would never. He's the A-list of the A-list celebrities. I mean, he's one of the biggest names in country. You just, you think that people like this would be above it. Not men.

• 1:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I would have never thought. Feel like in general, like country singers are gonna like roll around in the dirt and get messy. And I don't really keep up with her or him, but to me, it's very much she was doing fine. She's moved on and he's like, how can I ruin that for you?

• 2:09Rayna Greenberg?

  That's absolutely what it is. So I mean, celebs are just like us. She really did seem to be fine. She doesn't really talk about it. Barstool doesn't really talk about it. Like it happened. It's it's been done. So basically what had happened was there's a new Tyler Childers song out.

• 2:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Also, if you guys don't know who these people are.

• 2:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Neither do I.

• 2:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  They're people. Zach Bryan's a country singer. Brianna Sugarfries is his ex-girlfriend. They had a big messy breakup and this third person, who's to say?

• 2:37Rayna Greenberg?

  He's just a singer.

• 2:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. I've heard the name.

• 2:39Rayna Greenberg?

  And she works at Barstool and basically he tried to pay her off to keep quiet with like 12 to 13 million dollars about their relationship.

• 2:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Zach Bryan did.

• 2:48Rayna Greenberg?

  And the emotional abuse that she said that she suffered with him. She rejected the money and she's allowed to say whatever she wants now. So basically this Tyler Childers song came out. The lyrics are, to put it plain, I just don't like you. Not I don't like a thing about the way you are, blah, blah, blah. So Zach Bryan posted Instagram story with this song as the background. And he's burning a flag that says Saturdays are for the boys, which is a Barstool flag.

• 3:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, a Barstool thing, obviously.

• 3:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Which is iconic.

• 3:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right.

• 3:18Rayna Greenberg?

  He set something on fire from her work and put it on Instagram to millions of followers, which like, that feels like a threat a little bit. That's crazy.

• 3:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. What in the Klan meeting is this?

• 3:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 3:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  And it made me think, Raina, like, what if someone, what if your ex burned a Vibes Only Come Tell?

• 3:35Rayna Greenberg?

  What song do you think he put it to?

• 3:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my God, what song? Hold on, what could it be?

• 3:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Never get pussy as good as that again. I don't know.

• 3:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  Or it would like be like a totally different vibe and just like, I want you back or I will always love you. And it's just a come towel burning.

• 3:53Rayna Greenberg?

  You know that song, fuck you and your mom and your sister. That probably that one.

• 3:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Or put it in your mouth. Just a real old school banger.

• 4:01Rayna Greenberg?

  So he starts this shit with her. She just puts on Instagram story like, come get your boy.

• 4:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, no, she said, nurse, he's loose again. Or something like that. I love that.

• 4:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Me too.

• 4:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm gonna use that.

• 4:12Rayna Greenberg?

  She also said, like, how do I file a restraining order? And Barstool responded and Dave Portnoy's like, he's a fucking psycho. Also, he has, Zach Bryan's new girlfriend looks identical.

• 4:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Exactly like her. I know. This is the tea that I appreciate. I saw the side by side of his new girl.

• 4:27Rayna Greenberg?

  You could not tell me that's not the same exact person. It's not like a passing resemblance. It's crazy to me. And then I think she thought he would like go away. She announced she was on special forces. She was talking about her manicure. Zach Bryan responds by saying like, I know where you can go get a manicure. I mean, this is so messy. And she finally said to her, like, audience, I guess, like, please stop sending me this. I blocked him. I don't want to see him. Like, again, they're just normal people. She just wanted to know what he's been up to. And if he wants to troll her on the internet, that's his business. Like a fucking loser.

• 4:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Zach Bryan. And this is someone that is so famous and like this, probably people have turned on him since this, but of course he still has a huge fan base. I'm not taking that away from him. But this could be his downfall. You don't need to act like this. Like, this is the crazy thing. I mean, you see people just run their careers into the ground with this crazy behavior. And of course, people have whatever they have going on and their trauma and their mental issues and whatnot. But it's just like, this is, you don't have to do all this. Why don't you just be rich and famous?

• 5:29Rayna Greenberg?

  I just can't, how fucking old are you? Five years old?

• 5:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Grow up.

• 5:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Like, I don't put this stuff online. I never have.

• 5:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 5:37Rayna Greenberg?

  It's crazy to me. So, I don't know.

• 5:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  So a more mature. Beef between two women keeping it classy, of course.

• 5:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Kind of keeping it classy.

• 5:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, I don't know. I mean, you tell me. You did more research for today's episode.

• 5:50Rayna Greenberg?

  So Alex Earl and Alex Cooper, and we're fans of both of them. We don't have any feelings about either one of them. They seem like nice girls. But Alex Earl used to have a podcast on Alex Cooper's network. They have since sort of parted ways. People have speculated there's some beef there. And it seems that there was because Alex Earl's contract was not up yet allegedly. And it was the most popular show on the Unwell Network. And so people speculated there's beef between the two of them. They haven't said anything publicly. And this was last week, but there should have been no updates. So I'm like stressed, you know? So anyways, Alex Earl puts out online, there was, I guess there's some like astrology app. And it says like, you could start some shit today.

• 6:32Rayna Greenberg?

  And she says, low key, is this my time that I've been waiting for? I have so much information.

• 6:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 6:37Rayna Greenberg?

  And people are like, um, can you tell us what happened with Alex Cooper? And she says, how much time do you have to her millions of followers? And it's like, sis, we got time. I got time. Just tell us what happened.

• 6:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just start talking. Start talking. I will be sad.

• 6:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't, Ashley and I, we don't support beef between women. We don't support pitting women against women, but.

• 6:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  I support beef between any, I want, I want gossip. Yeah, I want like gossip and anybody's, I want to hear about friends of a friend's coworkers drama. Like, I don't care. I don't care who it is.

• 7:10Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't either.

• 7:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I'm invested in this. These are podcasters. This is our world. And they were friends, obviously. They have the same name. They look exactly alike. I love those memes that are like, you can't tell me this is not the same person. And what happened here? You know, I do think Alex Earl can do whatever she wants. I think that she is really charming and people love her. And she's like the true definition of a personality type that an influencer should have. And I don't know that podcasting was her medium. I don't know if she wants to do bigger and better. I mean, she's on the red carpets. Like she will be a star. And I don't know if like, was she phoning it in on her podcast? I don't know. I didn't listen to it. Admittedly, I'd seen clips here and there, but I'm just curious what happened. I'm not, I.

• 7:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Very much want to know what went down.

• 7:59Rayna Greenberg?

  To your point, podcasting is obviously a really full-time job, producing a show, concepts, figuring out how to edit and all that. And if you have all these other aspirations of modeling and being in movies and doing influencer deals and traveling, I understand that it could fall by the wayside for sure. And your network might be like, this isn't a priority, it's time to go. But don't tease that we're gonna get information and not give it to me.

• 8:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, that's what I would speculate happened. And that's fine.

• 8:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, that's normal.

• 8:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's like, you know, I, we're literally making up this narrative ourselves, but just, I guess it's like, I relate to it. If I be like, I don't know, this seemed like a good idea at the time, and I am good at it, but I want to be doing other stuff. I want to be a star. Not that you can't be a star, podcasting, obviously. But it just, maybe that wasn't for her. And maybe she was phoning it in a little bit and not maybe doing what she was contractually supposed to, supposed to do, or not. Maybe this is all on Alex Cooper in some way. I don't know.

• 8:54Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I'm dying to know. And she said, how much time do you have? We're set. Yes, we're ready. I'll clear my schedule.

• 8:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Cancel something.

• 9:00Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't really have that much going on.

• 9:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's just, it's just New Heights.

• 9:03Rayna Greenberg?

  How much time?

• 9:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's just the New Heights podcast this week. And that's all we got.

• 9:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I've got plans Wednesday at seven. And that's honestly it. And how much, I don't need a lot of time. Just, just send the chat GPT one paragraph.

• 9:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. And last but not least, in our beef report, Todd Chrisley, which let me just start by saying that Todd Chrisley is a criminal and a fraud and like, a Republican and a fake Christian and all those things. He is one of the funniest people alive. And I used to watch that show for him. And I liked watching the family interact. And like, he's so fucking naturally funny. Everybody's always said he's gay, which I always get like, you know, it's speculate on someone's sexuality. And people say it in like, an accusatory way. Like, it's a bad thing. Of course, he's married, he has children. It's just like, I never want to be like, you're gay. Like, it's some sort of insult. I don't know. It's like, yes, he acts really flamboyant. Like, you would meet him and you would be

• 9:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  like, oh, that is a cool gay guy. But apparently, he's not. He claims to be straight. He's married to a woman. You know, like I said. So obviously, there's been these rumors, and I guess they've been going on for years.

• 10:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Again, I just, I've watched the show, so I've formed my own opinion, but yes, people have said for years that he was having an affair with his former business partner. And the, the business partner has come forward and said that they had a sexual relationship for a long time as well.

• 10:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 10:24Rayna Greenberg?

  So Todd Chrisley, who was busted out of jail by Donald Trump for no reason at all, is out and doing interviews about this. And he went on Candy Burris's show, it's called Speak on It, he went on our podcast, and he had some things to say about his former business partner accusing him of being gay. And when these clips came across my desk, I was like, please God, let this be real. Please let this actually be happening. This isn't some AI simulation. It was crazy. Okay, so Todd Chrisley is once again clapping back at claims he's gay and he had an affair with his former business associate, Mark Braddock. He didn't just clap back. He was like, let me say this with my whole chest.

• 11:06Rayna Greenberg?

  Let's just be very clear. If I had fucked him once, he'd have come back for seconds. He goes on, he said it was a one-time thing, thinks it was an experiment. You ain't experimenting on shit. You know what you're doing. I don't need to experiment giving head. If I wanted to give head, I'd give head.

• 11:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Honestly, in that moment, I was like, he is straight.

• 11:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Same.

• 11:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  If he's out here like, if I wanted to give head, I would give head. If I wanted to be gay, I would be gay.

• 11:32Rayna Greenberg?

  You think you could have tasted this once and not come back for more?

• 11:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  So here's the thing, I want to break this down, and then we have more from Todd, but from 2023. So this, okay, if I had fucked him once, he'd have come back for seconds, is a very funny clapback to someone who says you hooked up once. But it's also like, that's almost implying that you would have fucked them again. You know, like, when you really break it down, like, if some guy said he fucked me, and I'd be like, he didn't fuck me. If he did, he would have come back for seconds. Like, it's more like, and then would I have done it? Like, I'd be like, I would never have fucked that person in the first place. His whole thing is like, he would have come back. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. I thought it was such a brutal insult at first, and I was like, I don't know. It's kind of weirdly admitting, I don't know, maybe that's just me.

• 12:17Rayna Greenberg?

  That it, that it would have gone on longer? I mean, I did believe him, though. Like, it was like a real, like, bad bitch, like... If they would have tasted this, they would have come back for more taste.

• 12:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  But he could have tried and you shut him down, Todd. But I get it. I still get the sentiment. I'm thinking too deeply about it.

• 12:33Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know. He seems so enraged by it and the clapbacks. I buy them.

• 12:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  But it's, did you watch the clip?

• 12:40Rayna Greenberg?

  Did I watch the clip on repeat?

• 12:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  The tone is just like, it's what it is, though. He actually doesn't seem overly defensive.

• 12:48Rayna Greenberg?

  I guess it's, you don't hear people use language like that.

• 12:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, for sure.

• 12:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Very.

• 12:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Christian man. Okay, so this isn't the first time that he's denied the allegations. So in January of 2023, in an episode of his Chris Lee Confessions podcast, he said, "What insulted me the most is that out of all these 54 years for me to finally be accused of being with a man, it would be someone who looked like Mark Braddock."

• 13:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Mark has been read to filth.

• 13:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, Mark's not, I mean, Mark is not good looking, but he's not. So then he goes-

• 13:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, but also like if somebody said that about me, like what insults me most is that she's ugly. Not that I would have been gay. It's just that that person is ugly.

• 13:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  Todd Chrisley has so much hate in his heart.

• 13:36Rayna Greenberg?

  No, I love his-

• 13:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  And I'm here for it.

• 13:37Rayna Greenberg?

  He is the clapback queen.

• 13:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  So he says, "Let me tell you something. I could understand if you'd have had sex with me. It would make you crazy. I get that. There have been many who have been dignitized by your daddy."

• 13:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Are the women who have been dignitized in the room or is it just Julie?

• 13:54Rayna Greenberg?

  It is just one person.

• 13:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Has Julie ever claimed to have been dignitized?

• 13:59Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I'm not sure that he's, this proves he's like gay or not. I feel like this is like, this is a, I've never heard a man come up with a comeback like this. This is female level comebacks. Like, don't, like, somebody that ugly can't claim to have fucked me. That's what he's saying.

• 14:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  And if he did, he'd still be wanting it. Okay, so he's, he doesn't stop. "I ain't that small spoon at Baskin Robbins. I'm the whole scoop. You don't just get to sample here." And then he says he would have been, he would have been less embarrassed had George Clooney or Brad Pitt made the accusation. He's not actually mad that people think he's gay. He's mad because you think he fucked that ugly guy. So that does make me think he's straight.

• 14:34Rayna Greenberg?

  He doesn't like the implication that one, he'd fuck an ugly person, that two, you would fuck him and not come back for seconds. He's like, "I got that big daddy dick."

• 14:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  Do you think he learned those lines in prison? Or you think he's-

• 14:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, do you think he's had those?

• 14:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  2023? Wasn't he in prison then?

• 14:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Probably.

• 14:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 14:53Rayna Greenberg?

  But you could do-

• 14:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  He was podcasting from prison?

• 14:54Rayna Greenberg?

  You could do phone interviews from prison.

• 14:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  But you are right. I'm not, he didn't hate on being gay. He hated on the way someone looked. Like, it, it is, it's like, had it been like Todd, Candy is like, hey Todd, here's what's going on. George Clooney is saying you fucked. I feel like he'd be like, well, can you blame me? I did, I did dignitize that daddy. Dignitize? Who taught him that? Dick, I've always heard dickmatised. Yeah, he said it wrong. No, no, he's right. You think? Hypnotized. Oh, he got the, oh, he's those good insults. No, it's like- It's a grammatically correct- Dickmatised is like a, is the word structure is stigmatized. Like, we're talking hypnotized, dignitized.

• 15:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, you did break that down the right way. He brings Baskin Robbins into the mix. I'm the whole scoop. You don't just get to sample this.

• 15:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Can you just see him just snapping the whole time?

• 15:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. You know, let's just, before we get to Taylor, I just think this does lead us into Hunting Wives, because same types of families, these Southern Christian NRA card carrying, maybe, families who have all these secrets. And we are watching Hunting Wives, and you can speak out a little bit more. You probably watch more episodes than me. I think I've watched three and I am so hooked. And this is obviously the number one show on Netflix, and it stars Brittany Snow and Malin Ackerman, who I've recognized for a bunch of stuff, obviously. And I didn't know what to expect. The little trailer they show on Netflix, like, when they're like, oh, we don't work, we whiff, was a little, I was like, is this gonna feel corny? Reina.

• 16:30Rayna Greenberg?

  I texted you and your fiance.

• 16:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Can I read this?

• 16:32Rayna Greenberg?

  I honestly was like, this feels inappropriate to text the two of you.

• 16:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Reina, I, like, we were laughing so hard. So we were getting ready to watch A Materialist, actually. I wanted him to watch it. And so, Reina goes, this, the three of us on a group chat, can I encourage you guys to dabble in Hunting Wives on Netflix? It's batshit. This show is so sexually explicit, I don't know how this is on Netflix. And he, my fiance writes, we were gonna watch Materialist, but he does the eyes emoji. And then you, there's a lot of lesbian sex in group sex, but I respect your journey. 10 minutes later, we started it.

• 17:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  We're in. He's kind of half watching it. He's been working on something that it's like, actually so, I'm so proud of him. He's doing like such a great job. This thing he's starting. Anyway, so he was kind of working on that and he was, but he's, he can multitask really well. So he was-

• 17:20Rayna Greenberg?

  You don't even pay attention to this show.

• 17:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  I, he's somehow doing his stuff and paying full attention. I'm asking him what's happening.

• 17:28Rayna Greenberg?

  There's a lot of lesbian sex. This show is like, I thought it was about this like southern community of people, which it is, and they're kind of MAGA and Brittany Snow and her husband moved from Boston. They're this like liberal family. She has like a little bit of trauma. You're not like sure what it is when she moves down there, but she gets introduced to these people there. So the show was originally, I will say, developed for stars. It was supposed to be on like a movie type network and then it was put on Netflix and I do not understand how the show is on Netflix. Children can see this.

• 17:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but Netflix is Netflix. It's streaming. It's R rated. I mean Netflix had that crazy show where that, that was like, there is that 27 days or whatever. There's tons of nudity and sex on Netflix.

• 18:11Rayna Greenberg?

  There's naked, there's nudity, there's going down. She says, I'm gonna swallow. There's women fingering each other.

• 18:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  You're acting like it's CBS. There's all this stuff on Netflix.

• 18:20Rayna Greenberg?

  I feel like this is the most explicit thing I have ever seen on Netflix.

• 18:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Netflix has tons of R rated movies.

• 18:26Rayna Greenberg?

  What, this feels a little, this feels like another level to me. This doesn't feel like the most, like the most like R rated thing you've ever seen on Netflix. What would be-

• 18:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  That like whatever, what was it called? 127 days or something? I don't know. People thought it felt very like sex trafficking. That was crazy explicit sex. I don't think there's any, there's no parameters. It can't be porn.

• 18:49Rayna Greenberg?

  It's like one-

• 18:50Ashley Hesseltine?

  Netflix is like movies. That's how it started, unless you remember it.

• 18:53Rayna Greenberg?

  I remember. This is very explicit for Netflix to me.

• 18:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  I never thought that, um, there was, that was up for debate.

• 19:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I was.

• 19:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  They can play whatever.

• 19:04Rayna Greenberg?

  And Brittany Snow was even saying that. She was surprised. It is like very explicit. Well, whatever. It is-

• 19:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 19:09Rayna Greenberg?

  So sexual.

• 19:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Everyone's having sex. Everyone is deplorable. Everyone's just this like crazy bad person and they're all having sex. There's sex with seniors in high school and the parents in the community.

• 19:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, it's wild.

• 19:24Rayna Greenberg?

  It's the horniest show and

• 19:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  365 days. Remember that? Criticized for its problematic themes, including romanticizing, kidnapping and sexual assault. It was just, it was, again, I just, I started it and didn't.

• 19:38Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm trying to think, do I ever see nipples out, somebody going down on a person?

• 19:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  I think you're not watching the right stuff.

• 19:45Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm not watching the right stuff. I am not because I have not seen this stuff.

• 19:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  So anyway, this show, it's taking a dark turn. Someone, you can tell someone's gonna die in the opening scene and where I am, she just, I had a feeling of who it was and they just found her dead in the woods. And you're kind of starting to piece together what's happening and how they're gonna, but I don't want to give too much away, but check it out. I mean, it's riveting.

• 20:06Rayna Greenberg?

  It's crazy.

• 20:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  It is crazy.

• 20:09Rayna Greenberg?

  But I do, I enjoy it. It makes me very horny. It's great.

• 20:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  All right, let's just take a quick break and then we will get into some Taylor stuff.

• 20:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, you guys, Searchlight Pictures, new movie. It's called The Roses. You're gonna love the plot of this. It's about this perfect couple. It's played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. And they sort of like have it all. It's successful careers, this great marriage, great kids. And his, Theo's career comes crashing down and Ivy's fame starts to like skyrocket. So it's this like tinderbox of fierce competition between the two of them and growing resentments. It's like threatening to destroy everything they have between each other. But honestly, it's for anybody who's ever been in a relationship. It's a very like crowd pleasing comedy.

• 20:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my gosh, I'm so excited.

• 20:51Rayna Greenberg?

  And like I said, it stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. It is from the director of Meet the Parents and also Poor Things, two movies I absolutely love. And this will be out soon. So it's in theaters everywhere, August 29th. You guys can get your tickets now. It's just great.

• 21:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, we love it. We love anything that kind of starts with a couple that everybody thinks is perfect and actually like what's really going on.

• 21:13Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 21:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, and I am telling you guys about Boulevard. Okay, so I experienced this as a client, a user recently.

• 23:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, so we are recording this before the New Heights podcast comes out with Taylor Swift. So this will be some predictions and just talking about, you know, what's been happening up until then. And then we'll see if we were right once this airs.

• 23:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, we pretty much know. I mean, so this, for a few days, New Heights posted something that showed a silhouette. People assumed it was her and everyone was like, Taylor is going on her boyfriend's podcast.

• 23:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Taylor Swift is gonna be on a podcast. Has she ever been on a podcast? No, first podcast. I was gonna ask you. Okay. So she's done like late night, she's been on Tonight Show, whatever. But she's never done a podcast. So she's like, is this serious? And then everyone starts speculating, what is it gonna be? What's she gonna announce? And then last night it dropped and they showed the clip and she is announcing her new album on a podcast with these football brothers. I know it's her boyfriend, but this is crazy.

• 23:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Such a nice color on you.

• 23:59Speaker 02

  Yes, I know. It's the color of your eyes, sweetie.

• 24:03Speaker 02

  It's why we match so well.

• 24:04Rayna Greenberg?

  We're about to do a podcast. I'm gonna, I wanna break it all down. So cannot believe what they gave us to tease this ahead of time. The first clip was just Taylor and Travis, just being cute, being sweet. And the internet went wild. It was my entire feed. He's calling her sweetie. Says he wears this sweatshirt, the same color as her eyes. And then it went crazy. And then within like 30 minutes, they drop a clip that she is dropping her new album on this. I mean, they didn't need to do this because like, it would have been the most streamed episode of all time, no matter what.

• 24:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. Like, now I don't feel, you know me, I'm, I like Taylor Swift, of course. And I really do like, respect her and I like her music. I don't identify as a Swiftie necessarily, but I'm not a hater, whatever. I don't know. I don't know that I'm, would have tuned in. I'm like, oh, now we, clearly more is gonna happen. But now I feel like we got the main event. And it's crazy because she kind of unboxes this thing. And I'm sorry, I get it that New Heights is recorded virtually, but Jason couldn't be in person for this. We gotta do it on Zoom. Taylor Swift is showing her new album to Jason Kelsey on Zoom for the first time. Couldn't be in person, couldn't fly out. He's like, oh, wow. Cool

• 25:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  new album. Like, I get it. I like, love all of it. And I love Jason Kelsey, obviously, go Birds. But it was just like, this is crazy.

• 25:25Rayna Greenberg?

  It's such a big deal. And this will be the biggest, most streamed episode of all time. And I'll tell you why I think that.

• 25:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  You don't even need to tell me why, but.

• 25:33Rayna Greenberg?

  But I mean, people would have tuned in just to watch the two of them interact. I don't think that there's ever really been footage of the two of them sitting next to each other. And having a conversation.

• 25:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, what is it?

• 25:42Rayna Greenberg?

  So like without the album, I just, I love her music and I'm thrilled and I can't wait to like hear it. But honestly, the bigger draw for me is just watching them interact.

• 25:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  A hundred percent. I don't, I will probably love the album. It's, that's not it for me. You know how I feel. Beyonce, different story. Like, that's my girl. Like, I would be losing my mind. Like, when we know about the next Beyonce album, which people are saying it could be a rock theme, I'm gonna lose my mind the way that all the Swifties are losing their mind. But yes, for me, it's like, I gotta see her on this podcast. They, they have a clip of her going, we're about to do a fucking podcast? Yeah, we're also losing our minds. We're gonna see you on a podcast? And like, I don't even know what to think. Like, that, that clip was, it felt a little cringe to me. Like, I know that the couples are cringe, like, but it was just like, it's the same colors your eyes, sweetie. I was like, what is about to happen?

• 26:30Rayna Greenberg?

  You know what they're like. They're just like these everyday couples.

• 26:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  But that's what's so endearing, yeah.

• 26:35Rayna Greenberg?

  That's why everybody loves them. They just seem like normal. Of course, she's announcing her album, the biggest thing on the fucking planet, on her boyfriend's podcast.

• 26:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like, how long do you think he's been asking, babe, will you do my podcast? How long do you think Wondery has been like, hey, can we get Taylor on the podcast?

• 26:51Rayna Greenberg?

  Years.

• 26:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  And also, how many podcasters do you think have slid in now? Taylor, will you do my podcast? Since you're doing podcasts, do you want to do my podcast?

• 26:58Rayna Greenberg?

  I just assumed she was gonna be like Alex Cooper. Like, I thought she'd do like bigger shows.

• 27:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Not before. No, no, no.

• 27:04Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I can't believe that, like, they didn't need to drop, the album was dropping. Like, what's gonna happen on this actual podcast?

• 27:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's like, they already gave it away.

• 27:13Rayna Greenberg?

  But like, more stuff's gonna happen?

• 27:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  More stuff's gonna happen. I mean, people are wondering what the new era is. And I was asking you, like, what's the deal with orange? She's just wearing orange?

• 27:21Rayna Greenberg?

  So I'm not that level of like Taylor Swift fandom. I don't, the Easter eggs and all this stuff.

• 27:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Lady and the Blind. She has a countdown on her website.

• 27:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 27:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, the new album is huge.

• 27:32Rayna Greenberg?

  And it's, it's called Life of a Showgirl, which like, honestly, is like a spicy title, and I think that's fun. But like, I just want you to know, like, the other places she has announced her album dropping. She has announced it on social media, on Instagram Live, at the Grammys. It's mostly social media posts.

• 27:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, I remember the Grammys one.

• 27:50Rayna Greenberg?

  And the Grammys is like where most of this has happened. So

• 27:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is great. I love this. I mean, it's brilliant and we love it as podcasters.

• 27:59Rayna Greenberg?

  It really makes me feel like podcasting is like

• 28:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  The thing. I just love this, but it's just crazy to me because her and Beyonce, like the most famous women in the world, they like transcend podcasting to me. And that's like no offense to us, but I was just thinking like, what if Beyonce was just on like Bussin' with the Boys? You know, like I was just laughing, thinking about, or she's on a podcast with like two rappers, you know, like it's just funny if she's gonna fucking sit there and put headphones on

• 28:24Rayna Greenberg?

  On Zoom.

• 28:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  And talk to Jason Kelsey on Zoom.

• 28:26Rayna Greenberg?

  At his desk.

• 28:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Use Zoom. They probably use something different. They probably just like Riverside, whatever.

• 28:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, they're not filming in a studio together.

• 28:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  Funny to me.

• 28:33Rayna Greenberg?

  She's trying to like unbox this album and she doesn't even know like room between her and the wall behind her and the chair and the desk.

• 28:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's tight.

• 28:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Crazy to watch. Okay. So my prediction is of course, this will be the most streamed podcast episode of all time. And I'll tell you what the other bigger ones are and I'll tell you my theories for obviously why, but so the three biggest of all time, Cat Williams and Shannon Sharp, 90 million. That's the top.

• 28:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Love this stat. Okay. Which that was crazy tea.

• 28:59Rayna Greenberg?

  So people say that they loved it so much and like not just men tuned in, like women tuned in for the tea.

• 29:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Went all the way off.

• 29:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes. So that's number one. And then number two, number three are both Joe Rogan, the Elon Musk interview and the Donald Trump interview. So you have three interviews of all men. You have some pretty like MAGA, right wing people. This is the biggest sports star in the world with the biggest pop star in the world. They transcend like party lines and country lines and everything like who wouldn't tune into this? And it reminded me kind of of when like Nikki Glaser did the Tom Brady roast and like her career blew up so much.

• 29:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. This will be Taylor Swift's big break.

• 29:37Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, this will be her big break. It's just, it's the thing. Like the Tom Brady roast, like you had everything. You had like comedy and sports and you had Netflix and everybody on planet earth tuned into this. Like what could be bigger? And like they just check every single box.

• 29:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's just a fucking podcast.

• 29:54Rayna Greenberg?

  You're right. It looks tight in there.

• 29:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's, she really, she's fumbling to get that case open. So

• 30:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  These two athletes are like, pull it together. Kylie would have this handled.

• 30:06Rayna Greenberg?

  Wear a little lip kit. Kylie, Travis's wife.

• 30:18Rayna Greenberg?

  What products is she launching?

• 30:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, do you have any favorite memes? Because I'm loving the life of a showgirl memes. And I have a personal favorite. It just made me laugh out loud.

• 30:32Rayna Greenberg?

  The life of a showgirl with Carrie and Big.

• 30:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  And it's Carrie when she showed up to Big's apartment in the top hat. She came from like the BDSM bar. And she just like has her whip in between her mouth. She was like trying to be so sexy.

• 30:47Rayna Greenberg?

  My favorite was something along the lines, if you have, you'll have to read it to me. Like this is like the Super Bowl for annoying people.

• 30:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, but then people who wrote that were like, it's me. I'm the annoying people.

• 30:57Rayna Greenberg?

  It's me. I put an Instagram story up before we came over in my Taylor Swift sweatshirt. Like I just did that thing. Like stay tuned for Thursday. Like I'm a fucking nerd for this shit.

• 31:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  I, I like my place on the Taylor Swift spectrum where I can really get excited for people. And I think people go so hard. They like Kate Kennedy, Eli Rallo, like decoding everything and they have all the history and they know all the lore. And they're doing their predictions and oftentimes they're right. And I eat it up and I love to see the pure joy. Because that's how I want to be supported with stuff that I'm obsessed with.

• 31:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Do you feel like, okay, so the colors for this are this like bright green and this like glittery orange. It looks very like football coded. It looks like I designed this for my boyfriend.

• 31:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just buying a team.

• 31:45Rayna Greenberg?

  But don't you think she just like, it's just like a cover that just like looks like her boyfriend's stuff?

• 31:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Orange is hot. I mean, it's, everything is orange. Like, so I think it's going to be obviously the color of the next year for sure.

• 31:58Rayna Greenberg?

  I, my hope is that it's like some more upbeat music. We've had some like low key, some low key music, which I, I love bits and pieces of it, but I wanted to dance a little bit.

• 32:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, the, the life of a showgirl, well, the tortured poets department, I think you know, you're getting some lo-fi beats, but like

• 32:20Rayna Greenberg?

  That was not music.

• 32:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Low BPM.

• 32:23Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, you weren't dropping it down.

• 32:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Not a beat dropping site. But this would, I would assume, I mean, just showgirl in general, I'm assuming it's going to be more upbeat.

• 32:31Rayna Greenberg?

  Also, it's about Travis and it's not going to be like Matt Healy. Like try to drop a beat to Matt Healy.

• 32:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. Okay. So we'll be watching again. It will have aired now.

• 32:43Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay. So give me your prediction. So if the number one podcast episode is 90 million streams, what do you think this is gonna be?

• 32:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just, that'll be day one.

• 32:51Rayna Greenberg?

  I think 200 million. I mean, this will, this will double that in a second. People saying that it is not. Are you insane?

• 32:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Who would say that?

• 33:00Rayna Greenberg?

  A man. I heard a man say it this morning.

• 33:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, it's good. He's like, no, there's no way Taylor Swift will beat Shannon Sharp and Cat Williams.

• 33:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Elon Musk.

• 33:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  And then at the same time this is happening, Travis Kelsey's GQ cover dropped and it's giving Lana Del Rey's husband, he's like in the water with alligators. He's like wrestling alligators. It's very Florida coded.

• 33:20Rayna Greenberg?

  He's holding an Hermes duffel bag in the water.

• 33:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  And then the, the cover says what America's sweetheart for him. And then people are kind of tying that back to Taylor Swift and they have a bunch of theories, whatever. But he's really in his moment too. And obviously this was all coordinated with the tree pain house of PR.

• 33:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Because that's the publicist, right?

• 33:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 33:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  That does all this.

• 33:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Can I just tell you like what a pleasure it was when I woke up this morning? Like my feed is just, it's all Donald Trump. It's every second. It's some terrible thing happening in the world. Like the surge of adrenaline going through my body. There's nothing on my feed besides the two of them, the GQ cover and Taylor Swift and predictions. And like, they're what America needs right now. Like we need some joy and we need to be uplifted and they're the, they're the couple to do it.

• 34:04Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, speaking of Donald Trump, he is trying to redecorate the Oval Office.

• 34:07Rayna Greenberg?

  He's been doing it. He's at it.

• 34:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  No one has tackier taste.

• 34:12Rayna Greenberg?

  So since he got into the White House again somehow, every day it's like

• 34:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  He stole the White House.

• 34:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Every day it's like a new thing of him trying to like disrespect former presidents and take down all their design ideas, take down their portraits. And now he has made it gaudier than ever.

• 34:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. So he's doing a bunch of different things. Everything's gold. He's like a evil villain king, personified. You know, we've always said he's like what poor people think rich people are. And that's what he actually acts like with all the gold and being so showy. Like he's just such an embarrassment. And like what's happening in the Country like I just, I can't even believe it. What's happening with like ice and with just everything else, but this on top of it, like he's just actually ruining this landmark. I mean, this is not something any president would have ever think of doing like what in the fucking Frankenstein house is this gonna look like?

• 35:06Rayna Greenberg?

  No, he is.

• 35:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ballroom on the side of it.

• 35:08Rayna Greenberg?

  So he is just like this, like evil villain cartoon. He demolished the

• 35:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  The rose garden.

• 35:14Rayna Greenberg?

  At the White House, which is so crazy, just joy. You were just like, I'm just gonna demolish joy.

• 35:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, when he got rid of the rose garden, I was like, people really voted for a president that hates flowers and dogs and thought this would be okay.

• 35:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Also doesn't drink.

• 35:29Rayna Greenberg?

  I know that you do too, but he also likes his steaks well done. And I accept it when you do a little medium plus, but well done.

• 35:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  I did, this, that came out of nowhere.

• 35:38Rayna Greenberg?

  I know, like.

• 35:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  I do not like them well done.

• 35:41Rayna Greenberg?

  I said medium plus, you like a little over.

• 35:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  I feel hot in my body.

• 35:44Rayna Greenberg?

  She really doesn't like people talk about.

• 35:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's not even that. I just like, can't believe you compare me to him and that's what you use. Like, you know, it's sensitive.

• 35:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm really sorry.

• 35:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't like a bloody steak. Like, I'm gonna cry.

• 35:58Rayna Greenberg?

  You will eat steak, Char Char.

• 36:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  This revolting man. And you're like, well, you do like your steaks the same.

• 36:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, because you know, Donald Trump eats a well done steak with fucking ketchup on it and I would never.

• 36:12Rayna Greenberg?

  And a water.

• 36:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  A coke.

• 36:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Like a bitch.

• 36:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Coke heavy.

• 36:17Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, so he is, he demolished the rose garden. He's watering out on the roof. He turned the Oval Office into, I don't even know, the Palace of Versailles, but like cheesier. There's just gold leaf everywhere he's taking down. He changed the rug out. He took the blue rug out that Obama put in there, put this white rug in there. And now he's spending $200 million to make a ballroom behind the White House that is bigger than the White House.

• 36:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  I feel so sickened by this. Like, I just, it's, I mean, it, but it's, it's par for the course with everything he's done. It's just like the sheer disrespect and how unnecessary this is, like for what balls? Like, no one likes you. You don't. So many friends like who's coming to this like it's fucking Bridgerton.

• 37:01Rayna Greenberg?

  So allegedly this there's just this man standing outside our door.

• 37:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just trying to sell somebody something.

• 37:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I heard them earlier. He said, um, he did say.

• 37:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Buy now.

• 37:10Rayna Greenberg?

  The president dropped a nuclear bomb on the economy and I was like, I'm into that guy. Um, so anyways, allegedly this will be finished in 2028. So he won't even be the president anymore. I can't wait for that year. I mean, hopefully, but what I find the most disgusting is the people who didn't know better and voted for something that would hopefully change their circumstances in life and allow them to afford things. How do you feel about him taking $200 million and putting it towards building a little ball? And he got on television and was like, I'm amazing at ballrooms. People say, people say I'm amazing at ballrooms.

• 37:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  I cannot wait till 2028 when we bulldoze this to the ground, when he's out of the White House and take my money. Take my tax dollars. Yes. Tell me that's what my money is going to be used for. Erase all signs. He was here.

• 37:59Rayna Greenberg?

  Watch that ballroom crumble. Okay. I have an amazing fundraiser idea.

• 38:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 38:03Rayna Greenberg?

  What if they let people pay to come take sledgehammers to the walls?

• 38:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my God, like a, um.

• 38:09Rayna Greenberg?

  One of those rooms.

• 38:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Those rooms. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 38:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Where you go destroy everything.

• 38:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is it called?

• 38:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Whatever. I don't know. I would, I would donate so much money to charity if I could just go just swing a hammer at that ball.

• 38:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my God. Yeah, we, that, that could just cover the 200 million.

• 38:22Rayna Greenberg?

  People see him on TV saying, people say, I'm very good at ballrooms. I'm known to be good at ballrooms and I wanted to do this last time, but I was busy last time I was the president. That's what he said. That's, that's just a direct quote.

• 38:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's busy now. He golfs every day. JD Vance has taken what? Eight vacations to however many countries and states that nobody wants him there. I just can't with these people. I mean, him wandering around on the roof, like someone senile grandpa that's not supposed to be allowed out of the house.

• 38:45Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah. You call the police and you say this man is wandering around.

• 38:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  On the roof. Yeah. And just walk a little closer to the edge. Come on, just a little closer. We'll get you down. Just take, just jump.

• 38:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Slide down the wall.

• 38:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, we have a thing down here to catch you. Just take a leap. Just, we'll catch you.

• 39:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so just a quick Instagram update. So they did this crazy thing where you could just see everybody's location. It felt like a really egregious invasion of privacy and you can speak on a little bit more, but this was so wild.

• 39:16Rayna Greenberg?

  This really scared a lot of people.

• 39:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  This was last week, right?

• 39:19Rayna Greenberg?

  So I first found out about this happening because your fiance group texted us and said that one of our friend's exes was just sharing his location on Instagram.

• 39:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Our friend's ex blocked her and removed all her friends' followers.

• 39:32Rayna Greenberg?

  Me and you.

• 39:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  I never followed him. No, I wasn't. It was you and a couple, someone else.

• 39:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 39:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  I was never, he and I never followed each other.

• 39:39Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 39:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  So he kind of got rid of everybody being able to see his stuff except for my fiance. So he fires up the group chat. He's like, let's just say his name is John. He was like, hey, I can still see John's location. We lost it. We're like, why is, last night he was showing me his story. He was like, here he is with the dog. He's like the only one that gets to see what he's doing.

• 39:58Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, no, he let me back in.

• 39:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, he did? Okay, got it.

• 40:00Rayna Greenberg?

  This is, but this is new.

• 40:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  But that's how we saw it. And it's just like, I guess they said people had to opt in, but to me, I'm like, if this, if it wasn't 2025 and like the world wasn't on fire, I feel like this would have been a much bigger deal. Like this feels like a real violation of privacy. People's lives could be in danger. Like your crazy ex sees where you are? Like wasn't showing people's like exact location for the most part?

• 40:24Rayna Greenberg?

  So it's a little convoluted what the feature is supposed to do and the opt in. So basically it was saying that the feature was launched on August 6th. It allows users to optionally share their last active location with select people. So mutual followers, close friends, and it updates whenever the app is open or runs in the background. So as long as you don't quit the app, it is updating. Other, other things that people got scared about is that they had posted a location, like they had geo-tagged a restaurant and it showed them having at the restaurant currently.

• 40:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 40:53Rayna Greenberg?

  And it scared people thinking like, oh God, it knows where I am. Cause Instagram was saying, you have to opt into this.

• 41:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Mine wasn't, mine wasn't on.

• 41:01Rayna Greenberg?

  Mine was on.

• 41:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 41:03Rayna Greenberg?

  So I had to go in and I went in through my settings and it says.

• 41:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  You have to go in your settings.

• 41:08Rayna Greenberg?

  I do my settings, not Instagram settings, like the phone settings. And it says like location sharing services. If you guys just, I can't give you the hell to, you just Google it. Location services, then you choose the apps. I chose Instagram and I had to manually shut mine off.

• 41:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, so it says allow while using or never allow. And so I would do never allow for most things. Sometimes you do, I don't know, food delivery apps, like there are certain things you do want them to know your location. But like, so my location is always off for Instagram. So even when I go to tag a location, I have to manually put it in because it doesn't know where I am. Because this just, I did not like this.

• 41:44Rayna Greenberg?

  No, I don't like it at all. It scared a lot of people.

• 41:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  This is crazy. It really, yeah, you're just like, people, strangers in some cases can see where I am? What the fuck is going on? It's all really scary. We're all just like being surveilled, but you know.

• 41:55Rayna Greenberg?

  I like to know where our friend's ex is, just, you know, just to sleuth. But yeah, I determined off, so.

• 42:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, so turn it off. And again, like there's TikTok tutorials and all the things of how to turn off. If you guys aren't clear and you want to, and then also now Instagram is allowing reposts, which, do you remember, like, we would have apps, third party to do that, remember? Like, it would have like the little repost across the bottom. So this isn't like a new concept, but it's just going to make it easier. And what, one click and you are reposting people's content in your own feed?

• 42:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, allegedly there's a separate tab that shows that you've reposted it. And then the third rollout is that they brought back something that used to exist on Instagram, where you can see what like your friends and the followers are liking and sharing. People do not like this. I don't have this feature yet, thank God. I don't, I just, I don't need people to know what I'm doing, what I'm sharing. I don't feel like it's like a violation. I'm not sharing any like crazy, terrible, hateful, manosphere, MAGA, nothing stuff. I, I don't need, I don't need people to know what I'm doing. It's mine.

• 42:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, we don't need this back. I don't know, this caused a lot of anxiety. You know, if you're dating somebody, you want to see what they're, what they're doing. Like, I don't know, yeah, it's fun to stalk, but we don't really need this.

• 43:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't, I don't really need it. I don't want it. And it just would make me stop sharing stuff.

• 43:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, it feels desperate. They're like, we gotta keep people in this app. Okay, well, we are just going to talk about our remaining partners and then we will get into some headlines and send you guys on your way.

• 43:23Rayna Greenberg?

  So I'm telling you guys about Shopify. I mean, if you have a side hustle, if you have a business that you've started and you don't know how to grow it, Ashley and I cannot recommend Shopify enough. It is what we've used to run Girls Got to Eat merch since day one. We run our entire business from vibes only on Shopify. It will help you build a website. There are so many tools to track your analytics and your data, what sells the most, what days of the week, what times. I love the app. I have it on my phone. I always know like all the vibes only stuff that we're selling and I can track every order. I can create discount codes. There's tons of plugins. It's really user friendly. Just I have all these tools at my fingertips. It has changed our life. I don't know how we'd run our business without it, honestly. It is the best place to start a business if you guys are looking to and

• 44:05Rayna Greenberg?

  it takes the guesswork out of really starting and scaling businesses. I love their customer support. It is so easy to add users and have people in and out of your store if you need them to. The website templates that they have for building a really professional, beautiful website are all there. Pretty much anything you want to do, they have you covered for directions, reports, editing images, content ideas. I mean, it is the best. So if you're ready to build your own empire, whether it's merch, products, or the next best idea, get on Shopify.com/ GGE and make it happen.

• 44:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, we love Shopify. Can't imagine our lives without it.

• 44:36Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, Ashley, Addy, our little pink pill sponsor, is becoming a whole vibe of its own. I know. I've been hearing about it and seeing it everywhere. I just saw that Gwyneth was talking about Addy. Oh. I heard some celebrities like Jenny Garcia, Addy has helped them.

• 44:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  I honestly love knowing that low libido is becoming less faux pas to discuss and women can talk about what's really helping them. And for many of them, that is Addy. So a quick reminder for our listeners that Addy is the little pink pill clinically proven to boost frustrating low libido in certain premenopausal women. In fact, clinical trials reported women having more satisfying sex each month.

• 45:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, girl, Addy vibe is a sexy vibe.

• 45:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  So sexy. Addy clinically proven to boost libido. Ask your doctor if Addy is right for you, or go to A D D Y I dot com to find a provider.

• 45:24Speaker 03

  Addy or Flavencrin is for premenopausal women with acquired generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder, HSDD, who have not had problems with 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

• 46:08Speaker 03

  Addy. Allergic reactions may include hives, itching, or trouble breathing. Sleepiness, sometimes serious, can occur. 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.

• 46:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  Addy. Go to A D D Y I dot com to find a provider.

• 46:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, so your headlines, and then we'll send you guys off. Anna Delvey, America's favorite heist her. She's at it again.

• 46:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so she abandoned some bunnies in Brooklyn?

• 46:43Rayna Greenberg?

  In Prospect Park.

• 46:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 46:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes. So she had, it's very funny, the Page Six article about this was like she just had this like ragtag group of people. She was doing some, some photos with the bunnies. She was doing the Nicki Minaj challenge. And she's like holding these bunnies in this like photo shoot in Brooklyn and taking these photos. And People know, she was posting about it and then people said that they had seen the bunnies in Prospect Park. And as I, I lived in Park Slope for many years. I used to go to Prospect Park. I mean, I'm sure there are bunnies. I never saw one. Um, so

• 47:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, there's rabbits all around, but also like, this is a different vibe. This looks like a big, meaty, domesticated bunny. Not like the kind you see running. It doesn't look wild.

• 47:25Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes.

• 47:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  Looks like the kind from a pet store.

• 47:27Rayna Greenberg?

  So people are accusing her of doing this. She says, I, I never did it. And then, so somebody, somebody involved in the shoot, a member of the group, um, copped to turning the bunnies loose. So essentially, when people, when people take photos with animals, there's tons of companies that take care of animals that will lend them to you ethically for the day and a handler will come with the animals and they'll give them to you and they'll make sure they're handled properly and collected properly. So allegedly the photographer or the set helper, whoever, I mean, she's just taking photos just randomly, bought these bunnies from somebody. And then at the end of the day, those people were like, we're not taking this back. And because the people refused to take the bunnies back, because that was never on the table, they just let them loose.

• 48:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, sick. I don't even know if I believe that story. I mean, she is a scammer and a liar. I think she just got these bunnies and left them in the park.

• 48:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Absolutely.

• 48:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ugh. It's, so people took them?

• 48:22Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know if people took them. People found them. I don't know. I don't know the fate of the actual bunnies.

• 48:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. Like are they being fostered right now? Or are they up for adoption? We'll update you guys next week on the bunnies.

• 48:33Rayna Greenberg?

  But the, somebody involved in the group did say that they just like, wouldn't take them back. So the bunnies loose, she said, I don't know, I don't know anything about this. This has nothing to do with me.

• 48:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, we trust you, Anna. Yeah. No, that sounds totally believable.

• 48:45Rayna Greenberg?

  That's a person whose word I would take. So anyways.

• 48:47Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. So next up, AOL is pulling the plug on dial-up internet services. What year is this? Did you know they were still doing dial-up?

• 48:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Absolutely not. I mean, it's, again, it's every time something closes and then I'm like, really sad about it, whether it be a restaurant or a show. And I'm like, that's so sad. And then I'm like, but I have not, I haven't used this in 20 years.

• 49:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  You feel like that about this?

• 49:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I feel like that about this.

• 49:08Ashley Hesseltine?

  I can't feel about that. I can't feel like that about that. This because I had no idea people were still dialing up. Can you imagine being at someone's house and you heard that sound?

• 49:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I would start dancing.

• 49:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  The dial up AOL sound?

• 49:18Rayna Greenberg?

  When that beat drops.

• 49:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh, my gosh. I'm like just feening to get into Napster.

• 49:22Rayna Greenberg?

  I remember.

• 49:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  To download Eminem songs.

• 49:24Rayna Greenberg?

  In a chat room.

• 49:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  In a chat room. You'd be in the chat room showing your titties. I'm on Napster downloading Stan by Eminem.

• 49:29Rayna Greenberg?

  You never had like chat sex with people?

• 49:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  I did not.

• 49:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  I was not talking to grandma when I was 12 years old.

• 49:37Rayna Greenberg?

  I was 13 and I was problematic.

• 49:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I don't know. This is like an interesting thing. I didn't know they were still doing dial up. So end of an era, I guess, you guys. Tell us if you knew that AOL was still doing dial up internet service. They're like, they're entering the new millennium.

• 49:52Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, the feeling in my body when that was.

• 49:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  You hear that?

• 49:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Heard that sound and I knew I was about to get on AIM.

• 49:57Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 49:58Rayna Greenberg?

  And just like talk to guys from like middle school.

• 50:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  What a rush. Okay. And lastly, little engagement report.

• 50:05Rayna Greenberg?

  Cristiano Ronaldo proposed to his longtime girlfriend. I think they have five children together.

• 50:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. Yeah. They've been together like eight years.

• 50:12Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes. They've been together eight years. Her name is Georgina Rodriguez. She briefly had a show on Netflix also. So I watched a little bit of their lives. Also way less sex nudity than hunting wives. But they were not married. It's just his girlfriend. So he proposed to her. This article says stunning massive diamond ring. I have other feelings. I mean, it is the size of a golf ball.

• 50:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. So the there's, we don't have the exact details on the ring, but they're guessing, experts are guessing it can fall anywhere between two and $5 million. And a jeweler estimates the center stone to be over 30 carats.

• 50:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Thirty.

• 50:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just spit on the mic. I'd never heard of that in my life. I didn't know that existed. This ring, it, but rich people are going to do rich things. You know, people are like, you could have bought a boat with that. Yeah. We say this all the time. He has all the money in the world. This is not surprising to me. I just hate the look. It looks like a cockroach. Like someone else recently had a ring this big. Oh, Lauren Sanchez with Jeff Bezos. Like it looks like a literal like cockroach diamond crawling in your hand. Like it looks insane to me.

• 51:19Rayna Greenberg?

  Money cannot buy you class. Countess Lorraine. People are saying seven and a half million, up to 30 carats. I mean, it looks so ridiculous. And listen, if you squeeze out five kids to some man, I think you deserve the world.

• 51:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's just a flex, right? You're not wearing that day to day. It would be dangerous to do so.

• 51:39Rayna Greenberg?

  You could never.

• 51:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's just to show how much money you have. And if that's what you want to do, that's fine. But like we said, we just feel like this is on the way out. This flaunting of wealth and it's fine. They're gonna do them.

• 51:50Rayna Greenberg?

  I guess I don't understand the point of it. I mean, other than to flaunt your wealth, but I don't know. He doesn't need to prove he's wealthy. He's the most famous sports star in the history of time.

• 51:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 52:00Rayna Greenberg?

  They clearly have all the money in the world. You could never wear this out in public. It has to go into a safe deposit box.

• 52:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 52:06Rayna Greenberg?

  You could never walk out the door with this.

• 52:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know.

• 52:08Rayna Greenberg?

  And I would want something from my partner that I could like wear outside.

• 52:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 52:12Rayna Greenberg?

  Like, where are you gonna wear this? And I really long gone are the days of wearing stuff like this. And there was two really highly publicized robber robberies. The second most popular, Kinsley from Real Housewives burglars broke into her house, tied her up, stole her things. And there's a lot of talk on Real Housewives and Bravo in general of all the B-roll that shows people's homes and where they live.

• 52:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 52:33Rayna Greenberg?

  And then most famously came Kardashians robbery and being held at gunpoint by multiple men and being stolen. And so many celebrities took note and were just like, I'm not gonna post where I am in real time.

• 52:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  Flaunt my stuff.

• 52:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Flaunt all this stuff. Cause like, why would you not rob these people?

• 52:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, I guess, but it's like, you should be allowed to show off your engagement ring. Who's not going to?

• 52:53Rayna Greenberg?

  I guess you know that they have the most expensive stuff in the world. I mean, who's gonna rob them? They probably have the biggest security team on planet.

• 53:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right. Like you knew they had, like, you don't need to see this ring to know that there's stuff you could rob them for.

• 53:06Rayna Greenberg?

  It just looks like a joke.

• 53:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  It looks like a joke. It looks like a cockroach.

• 53:09Rayna Greenberg?

  She's wearing like a yacht on her hand.

• 53:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 53:12Rayna Greenberg?

  And I'm with you. I mean, yes, this money could have been spent on other stuff. Of course it could have.

• 53:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Of course we believe that. And like, again, this like, wouldn't be the choices we would make, but it's just when people kind of think they have a hot take with what, what you could have bought with this. It's like, how much money do they actually have? So much more than that. So much more than seven million. Seven million is a drop in the bucket for him.

• 53:29Rayna Greenberg?

  He probably made that on interest today.

• 53:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, just one kick.

• 53:34Ashley Hesseltine?
