  This week on the snack, all of the highlights, lowlights and tea from the Olympics and the Super Bowl. This is a Dear Media production. Enjoy.

• 0:15Rayna Greenberg?

  Hi guys.

• 0:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hi.

• 0:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Valentine's week.

• 0:20Ashley Hesseltine?

  Ooh, romantic.

• 0:22Rayna Greenberg?

  You have a Valentine.

• 0:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  I do.

• 0:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, sorta.

• 0:29Rayna Greenberg?

  He's not somebody I would spend Valentine's Day with.

• 0:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  A hundred percent, absolutely not.

• 0:35Rayna Greenberg?

  I wouldn't even spend, yeah, I wouldn't even spend Galentine's Day with him. We're not even friends.

• 0:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  I don't think romance is in his repertoire. He's like, what is that?

• 0:44Rayna Greenberg?

  But I did send him a photo of the chair in this hotel room and I was like, thinking about you sitting in that chair.

• 0:49Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, you will definitely get your pussy ate for Valentine's Day. So I'm excited for you. A little Valentine's blowjobs. So I'm excited for you. I really am.

• 0:58Rayna Greenberg?

  Thank you. Do you think you're gonna get your pussy ate for Valentine's Day? Do you guys do that?

• 1:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  A hundred percent. I better.

• 1:02Rayna Greenberg?

  You guys are still doing oral, three months in?

• 1:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  We love it. That's great. Yeah, that's always like top of the list. He is taking me to dinner tonight as this airs, the 12th. He was like, I couldn't.

• 1:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Run this by me.

• 1:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  Rada, I don't know what's about to happen. Like, he has been, he's been teasing this. The first time he told me, he said like, I have one hint for you. Himalayan salt rock. And then he showed me.

• 1:30Rayna Greenberg?

  Are you getting massages?

• 1:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, he showed me this photo and it was like in a cave. Like, I don't know what restaurant. He said it's in Hollywood. I'm trying not to Google because I want to be surprised. It's some sort of cave like.

• 1:43Rayna Greenberg?

  He did not speak to me about this.

• 1:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  Girl, I know. And then, um.

• 1:49Rayna Greenberg?

  Cause I ruined your anniversary. He's like, Rain is out.

• 1:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, he's been doing really great with the date planning, but I have no idea what we're doing for dinner tonight. And then Saturday, oh, I wanted to invite you. We were gonna go to dinner, actual Valentine's Day with Sally and Joffrey. And fun to see if you wanted to come.

• 2:07Rayna Greenberg?

  This is why I'm moving back to New York, because I don't have one friend that isn't in a relationship in LA. Every single time I hang out with anybody, it's just me and a bunch of couples. Yeah. Um, no, I would love to come. Thank you for including me.

• 2:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  We have to spend Valentine's together. Obviously, we, every year, we do.

• 2:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah.

• 2:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. Okay, so let us know what you guys are doing for Valentine's Day and Friday, the 13th. How spooky is that? So I will be just having my Valentine's there tonight, tomorrow, maybe something crazy will happen. And then Valentine's is on Saturday, and then Sunday, we'll be in San Diego.

• 2:38Rayna Greenberg?

  And you are, you are slowly, you're slowly coming to every show on this tour.

• 2:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah.

• 2:44Rayna Greenberg?

  It's not even slowly.

• 2:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  You're forcing me to. You keep being like, what if you just came to this tour? Like, what if you, like, it did not start out like this. Just so we're clear, I have started the whole tour with you. I'm doing the full, like, we just, as you guys are hearing this, we just got back from Minneapolis. I really just wanted to go there and show up and support those people, the people of Minnesota, Minneapolis have been on my mind nonstop. So I really just took it upon myself, you did not need me. You had two other openers.

• 3:11Rayna Greenberg?

  Full up on openers.

• 3:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm paying for it. This is the most expensive economy flight I've bought in a long time. I don't know what is going on. And so, um, you know, if you guys came, I'm sure it was wonderful. But the other ones are just like local, but like, I wasn't gonna do San Diego. And then you were like, well, maybe you want to. Well, yeah, go have a cute little day. Like, you are, I'm being invited. I'm not just showing up.

• 3:35Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, you're not just showing up. I mean, you are also gonna show up to Pasadena, and you might show up to LA. People don't know. You know, LA is, LA is sold out, and I've, Pasadena, Ashley will probably be there. So, you know, just get tickets, February 26.

• 3:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  We will talk about Pasadena a little later this episode, because the venue is called The Ice House, and we have some tea about that as well. But let's thank our partners, and we'll get into it.

• 4:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, so we are going to kick it off with an Olympics report. The Winter Olympics in Milan have started. So chic, so classy.

• 4:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's so much stuff is going on this week in sports.

• 4:41Rayna Greenberg?

  It really, it really do be like that this time of year.

• 4:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  I was like, what are the Olympic sports outside of like ice skating and skiing? Cause I was like, I don't really know what they do there. And I have to ask you if you know what these two things are, because I had never heard of this in my life. And there's two of them. Okay.

• 4:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay.

• 4:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  Skeleton. And skeleton is high speed individual sliding sport where athletes race headfirst, face down on a small like bobsled on an ice track. Headfirst, face down. Skeleton.

• 5:14Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, it's an Olympic sport.

• 5:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  What is the thing where they lay on top of each other?

• 5:22Rayna Greenberg?

  I saw this.

• 5:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  You're talking about bobs?

• 5:24Rayna Greenberg?

  No, it's when they lay on top of each other and they slide down.

• 5:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Bobsledding. Yeah, bobsledding.

• 5:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Lose your body.

• 5:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Lose your alone.

• 5:32Rayna Greenberg?

  But it's a double luge.

• 5:34Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's a bobsled. If you look at their arms.

• 5:36Rayna Greenberg?

  I have seen Cool Runnings. I know what bobsledding is. I'm saying they're laying on top of each other. Hold on a second. Anyway, this sounds like something that started out like a dare and went too far.

• 5:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like skeleton two.

• 5:50Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, hold on. First of all, only men would have invented this. Women would never do something so stupid. Can you imagine? Women are like, let's sled headfirst down this hill.

• 6:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay.

• 6:01Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, double luge.

• 6:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  The double luge is what I just said. It's an Olympic event where two athletes lie supine, face up, one on top of the other, steering a sled down an ice track at speeds up to 120 kilometers an hour. Supine, on top of each other.

• 6:21Ashley Hesseltine?

  Why?

• 6:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Insane.

• 6:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  No.

• 6:24Rayna Greenberg?

  Why?

• 6:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  When you see it, you literally are like, that was a dare. That got taken too far.

• 6:32Rayna Greenberg?

  Do women do this? I feel like women would be like, y'all are on your own.

• 6:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'm looking at pictures of women right now, but do you think couples do it? Like this, it's a horny pose. I wouldn't want my man laying down and a woman lays on top of him, her ass on his dick, and they slide down a hill together? No.

• 6:48Rayna Greenberg?

  No, I was like, she must be on Pornhub. This is not an Olympic sport. What is she talking about?

• 6:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Is there double luge porn? Let us know, you guys. This is a sex position some people like. All you gotta do is pop up and you're a reverse cowgirl.

• 7:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, it sounds too cold for sex, but like, I thought figure skating was like intimate, but this is crazy. Okay.

• 7:11Ashley Hesseltine?

  Say.

• 7:12Rayna Greenberg?

  And if you like that, I have one more for you. It's called biathlon. Do you know about this?

• 7:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, that's just a something with two, it's two, two events, like a triathlon, but a biathlon.

• 7:22Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, but in the Olympic winter world, it is an event that combines two disciplines, cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. So they're like, they're like, I'm gonna.

• 7:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  America invents it?

• 7:32Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes. They were like, we're gonna ski around, but it's not enough. We need to incorporate guns. And so they go around and they fire rifles on these skis. So stupid.

• 7:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  They're on the skis?

• 7:46Rayna Greenberg?

  They're on the ski. Look it up. It's B I A T H L O N, biathlon.

• 7:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  This feels like a man that was like, listen, I love to ski, but I feel a little gay sometimes when I'm skiing, so I need to make this sport more masculine. Give me a gun.

• 8:02Rayna Greenberg?

  They keep the skis on. So there's photos of it, they're standing with the rifles, and then there's photos of them laying down with the rifles and the skis are still on.

• 8:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Each other's supine.

• 8:14Rayna Greenberg?

  With the rifles.

• 8:16Ashley Hesseltine?

  I can't believe this exists. Oh my gosh. It's also so crazy because we are in our 40s and we're just now hearing about these. The Olympics have been on since we were kids and they were even more popular back then when there was less to watch and we just were just now talking about this. But I've seen this, I've seen this double luge, but I always was like, that looks fake. And I feel like I finally this year got into it. I mean, catch me doing the supine pose tonight after our Valentine's Day. Babe, let's get into that supine. Let's get into that double luge. Okay, so, well, we'll, we'll read some headlines and while we're talking about skiing, I did just want to make mention of Lindsey Vonn. So Lindsey Vonn, just Olympic medalist, US women's skier,

• 8:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  broke her leg, pretty much. I mean, she fractured her tibia. This crash was crazy. I gasped when I watched it and this is just so such, such sad news and she's such an inspiration and we're just like wishing her the best in a recovery that's going to require multiple surgeries. But I don't know if you knew this, she retired from skiing in 2019 because her body was just broken down from so many different injuries, including severe chronic knee pain that just made her competing unsafe. She returned to skiing in 2024. She announced she was going to return to skiing because she got a knee replacement, aiming for the 2026 Winter Olympics. First run and she, and she had a torn ACL and she skied with that. First run out of the gate,

• 9:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  she crashes and fractured her tibia. Like I don't love anything that much, but I have all the respect in the world for doing that. I can't believe the way this has played out for her. Like retired and was like, I have to get back out there. I'm going to get a new knee. And then went up on the slopes with a torn ACL and she has since come out and said like, it wasn't the ACL that did it. I took a turn the wrong way, whatever. It's like crazy to watch how it happened because it just, everything has to be precise for you not to crash and burn, essentially like she did. They had to airlift her and so she's out and I'm assuming this is actually the end of her skiing career. But how heartbreaking is that? So we just, I just can't believe the way that that went down.

• 10:19Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, it's truly heartbreaking. Well, our thoughts are with her. That's so sad.

• 10:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. So what Lindsey Vonn's stand. So I hope, you know, I don't know, knowing her, just bionic woman. She's like, um, I've got a new tibia and I'm going to see you guys in 2030.

• 10:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Two new hips.

• 10:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. And. Probably my favorite thing that really opened the Olympics was J D Vance being booed during the parade of nations.

• 10:44Rayna Greenberg?

  Love to see it.

• 10:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  J D Vance being humiliated every time he tries to do something is my porn category. Like, that's my kink. Every time he tries to do something, we've talked about this before, he went to take his family skiing, they protested in the streets, he went to Greenland, they were like, leave, he went to see the Pope, the Pope died. Like, he really cannot do anything, he's such a fucking laughing stock.

• 11:04Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, I think he has a lot of nerve even showing up to this. I mean, what we are doing in this country to terrorize immigrants and people from other places, and you have the Olympics which celebrates culture and people from different backgrounds, different races, and like, all of these Olympians have still shown up to represent the United States, even though the United States is doing horrible things to people from other nations. And, I don't know, people, our politicians should be ashamed to show up at any of this.

• 11:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, and so, the controversy basically is that immediately people post this online, people in the room witnessing this live, and then it aired in Canada, and even the announcer on the Canadian news stations were like, oh my god, that's a lot of boos, like, this is the clip that's gone viral, like, the announcer was like, oh my goodness, okay, wow, yikes, and then, when it aired in the US, you didn't hear them. So, first of all, let us have this. The president and the vice president being booed is what unites us as a nation, so let us have this for one, but NBC came out and made a statement, they were like, we didn't edit this out, and everyone's like, yes you did, and they're like, well, we do edit some stuff for brevity, whatever, but I just think it, it really, obviously, makes the US media

• 12:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  look less credible, hot take, and that, in this time, when everyone has a camera in their pocket, you look even worse when you edit this stuff, and you just look like you're bending the knee to this bitch ass administration, but it's, it's a weird time to like, edit stuff like that out, because we could all see the truth.

• 12:34Rayna Greenberg?

  Well, it's, I mean, obviously, we're living in a time where they're trying to silence journalists and take people's voices away, but- To your point, it is crazy that like, there is just an immediate check and balance to this, which is that like, everybody else, millions of people have camera phones. Like, this is not, like, you guys didn't pull a fast one. And obviously, everybody is gonna come out with the story that like, we in the US at NBC did not air it. It's gonna be a story.

• 12:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, and of course, there's just like, they've had to be like, well, you know, there's obviously a difference between live and when it airs, you know, in prime time. But we see what you're doing. It's not surprising, but it's just like, I, I don't know. It just, and then it draws even more attention to it, I think.

• 13:16Rayna Greenberg?

  Of course it does. You could've just kept it moving. People would be like, oh, Jada Vance is being booed. No shock there.

• 13:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  Right, exactly. Okay, so just on that note, the US Olympics Hospitality House tweaked its name from Ice House to Winter House, which understandably so.

• 13:35Rayna Greenberg?

  They hate ice and love Bravo.

• 13:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  They hate ice and love Kyle Cook.

• 13:41Ashley Hesseltine?

  Which I understand, but yeah, it's a rough time to be called the Ice House. I mean, you're about to perform at the Ice House in Pasadena, which it's a club that we love. I performed there last year during the weekend when ICE was terrorizing LA. I was like, rough time to have this name.

• 13:54Rayna Greenberg?

  I can't believe they even changed the name. It's probably why I didn't sell out the show yet.

• 13:59Ashley Hesseltine?

  Change it to Winter House. Just post it on your own website.

• 14:02Rayna Greenberg?

  I'm gonna advance the show and be like, um, if you could just change the name. It's embarrassing to me on my website.

• 14:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  It's just, it's so crazy. What, the timeline we're living in, the Winter Olympics and ICE is like a banned word, basically.

• 14:16Rayna Greenberg?

  That's a trigger word for people. Um, all right, and I want to call back to last week. You kind of called this. We had started talking last week about-

• 14:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Or two weeks, no, two weeks ago.

• 14:25Rayna Greenberg?

  A couple weeks ago.

• 14:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  Weeks ago. Yeah, the last time we did it virtual.

• 14:29Rayna Greenberg?

  So was it Olympic skiers or something were allegedly adding some fabric to the crotch region of their suits to enhance the, the surface area and make them go faster? And now, there's all these stories, and I'll read you guys the headline, Penis Gate at the Olympics. Why inject acid into your penis and what are the health risks? So allegedly people, jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly further. There is no proof that this is happening in this current Olympics, but you had said a couple weeks ago that they were gonna do this. And I was like, that's crazy.

• 15:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I don't even, don't give me that much credit. I had, that's what I thought was happening. And I skimmed the article and I was like, wasn't I like, Raina? So they're injecting their penis and you were like, Ashley, please, no, that's crazy. And here I was, I called it. So yeah, I guess that they're trying to make their penises bigger to fill these crotch areas. It's gonna help them perform better. But when we talked about a few weeks ago, it was like, that was actually not at all what was happening. And now it's happening. This feels crazy. I mean, I am a witch, but what are we doing here? Because that's long-term effects on your body for just a little bit of extra peeing.

• 15:45Rayna Greenberg?

  They're saying, how does penis size affect ski jumping? Jumpers have their suits made up based on measurements, their body, like blah, blah. I mean, if there's, if there's more surface area, I guess they can go faster.

• 15:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  We are learning too much about the ins and outs of the Olympics lately. I feel like the Olympics are hornier than ever. I feel like every Olympics now it's some dick scandal. I can't believe

• 16:08Rayna Greenberg?

  Condoms. Remember all the condoms in the Olympic Village last year?

• 16:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, like the big dick pole vault. Like, why, it's just too much dick.

• 16:17Rayna Greenberg?

  It's, it's not, it's never enough dick. I love it. This is what we need. But even if your suit has 5% bigger surface area, you really can fly a lot further.

• 16:28Ashley Hesseltine?

  Unbelievable.

• 16:30Rayna Greenberg?

  So men allegedly could inject hyaluronic acid into their penis, which is filler that will dissolve eventually. And I guess it can help you win the, having a bigger dick does help you win the Olympics, apparently.

• 16:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  I was just gonna say, bad news for small dick guys who want to be Olympic ski jumpers. This is crazy. Like, they aren't blessed enough. They're like, also you're a better athlete.

• 16:54Rayna Greenberg?

  Yep.

• 16:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay. Well, also, if any guys out there are dumb enough to do this, they get what they deserve, which Raina knows one, but it's just, don't do this. I don't know if we need to tell you this. Don't inject stuff into your penis, ladies. Don't inject stuff into your clit. You would never. Women would never. Can you imagine? It was just like, hey, you guys are going to be really like much more successful podcasters if you inject hyaluronic acid into your clit. And I'd be like, I'm all set. I think I'm fine.

• 17:19Rayna Greenberg?

  I think the size of my clit and my career are fine.

• 17:25Ashley Hesseltine?

  What's a sport? What's a sport that a bigger clit helps you perform better?

• 17:29Rayna Greenberg?

  Porn.

• 17:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  Fair. Okay. And lastly, you put this on the outline. I didn't, I hadn't seen this yet. What is going on?

• 17:40Rayna Greenberg?

  There's just all of these videos of Olympic athletes who have won and they're like in the middle of filming like TikToks and Instagram stories and their, their medals just break. I mean, these are just like, the first person I saw this happen to is Breezy Johnson. She's a US gold medalist downhill skier, US figure skater, Eliza Liu, L I U. And the Olympic Committee, we are aware of the situation. We've seen images. Obviously, we're trying to understand in detail if there is a problem. I mean, it's just garbage. They're just like pieces of garbage. But I thought, I thought that the Olympic medals, I thought that they were like, not just some piece of trash you pick up at like, the carnival fairgrounds.

• 18:22Ashley Hesseltine?

  No, I thought they were at least like gold plated, silver, bronze. You know what I'm picturing? Is when Olympians bite into the medal and you actually take a bite out of it, it comes out in your mouth? Like, can you imagine biting into your medal, like for the photo op and it actually breaks in your mouth? You have a mouthful of Olympic medal?

• 18:38Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes. Well, now I guess it is what's happening. Also, the, the little connector to the ribbon is what's snapping. But like, why isn't that solid gold? I mean, sometimes my keys break, but like, that's because I have a keychain from Etsy. Like, I just didn't think that this would happen at the Olympics.

• 18:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  I, I know. I can't, did I think Olympic gold medals were 24 karat? I mean, maybe. But maybe, I don't know what I thought. I didn't expect this.

• 19:02Rayna Greenberg?

  It's the greatest honor of a lifetime, though. These people train like their entire life. They've dedicated every moment of every day to this. I would expect that they get a medal that isn't like a clunky piece of garbage from like a church carnival.

• 19:14Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, well, that's what's going on with the Olympics. And, you know, some of these athletes from the US are speaking now and they're like, "I have mixed feelings about representing my country at this time." And I just want to say to all the people who are like fighting so hard right now for this country are the people that really love this country and what it stands for and what it should be and what we hope that it will become again. And we are just so proud of our Olympic athletes and we understand how they feel. It's a tough time to be a proud American, you know? But the people who were so heartbroken and angry over what's happening in this country are the real patriots, so just as a friendly reminder.

• 19:51Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, and thank you for still showing up for us, even though a lot of people wouldn't.

• 19:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  And even though your medals are breaking.

• 19:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Uh huh. And even though some people are injecting hyaluronic acid into their penis to beat you.

• 20:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, all right, well, we'll take a break and thank some of our partners and then we'll get right back into it.

• 20:07Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so I am going to talk about Hers. We love Hers so much. And our question for you ladies who are listening is have you ever felt like something was off in your body, but you couldn't quite explain what? Maybe you've even gone to the doctor and you couldn't get the answers you needed, or you were told everything is fine, but you're like, "It's not fine. Something is wrong here. I know it's not fine." So whatever your concern is from changes in your body, maybe you have unexplained weight gain, perimenopause or menopause symptoms, changes in your skin, in your mood, in your energy levels, this is where Hers can help. They are flipping the script and rethinking our outdated healthcare system to finally give women what they deserve. Care that's accessible, convenient, built around our real needs and backed by experts

• 20:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  in women's health. It is so easy to start. You complete a free online medical intake form that goes beyond the basics so you can explain what you're experiencing.

  Okay, and a new partner, Nature's Sunshine. So we all need to like stay locked in and it's tempting to kind of like reach for caffeinated products when you're foggy, especially like when Ashley and I are on the road and it's so much travel and we're so exhausted. Like, I just need to find a way to stay focused and sharp. And if you reach for caffeine even later in the day, it obviously makes me really jittery. And then there's like that crash later in the day. So Nature's Sunshine Brain Edge combines hand harvested yerba mate with powerful, oh. Yerba mate? Well, go off. Chardonnay.

• 22:10Rayna Greenberg?

It can enhance focus and clarity, support memory and learning, deliver smooth, sustainable energy. I mean, that crash is so tough. Sometimes like before Ashley and I are about to get on stage, I'm like, oh my

• 23:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, let's recap the Super Bowl. We're not going to talk much about the game. Congrats to the Seahawks.

• 23:37Rayna Greenberg?

  No one is.

• 23:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  Boring, uneventful game, but congrats to them. That team was on fire this season, so they deservedly won. The Patriots probably wouldn't have been in it if Bonix hadn't broken his leg from the Broncos, but you know, they tried their best and that's what happened. We will talk about the real winners of the Super Bowl, but I want to start with our little party. Raina hosted. You made so many apps. I couldn't believe what you did all by yourself.

• 24:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I, well, I'm always all by myself. I have a very specific feeling about Super Bowl food. It's similar to Thanksgiving. I want like the tried and true stuff like we talked about. Buffalo chicken dip, spinach artichoke dip, like sliders, things like that. I don't want any deviation from it. You know, we'll deviate the other 364, but I have a very specific focus on these things. And I had just, I had a lot of fun. I really like cooking for everybody. And this kind of food is easy to cook because it's just all fat. It's fat and salt and carbs and it's just, you can't fuck it up, you know? It's, everything's bad for you. And it's like, that's, that's just what it is.

• 24:38Ashley Hesseltine?

  That's the point. Raina, you made these jalapeno poppers. I have, I brought some home. I've been just snacking on them. Yesterday, just midday, I was like, let me get one of those poppers. Shashank had one last night with our pasta. He was like, let me get one of those jalapeno poppers.

• 24:50Rayna Greenberg?

  I should have given you, I had a whole tray that I hadn't baked off yet. I should have just given it to you guys to take home.

• 24:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  They were so good. And I made an app with my husband Shashank's app, the kitchen sink. We've been talking about it, kitchen sink recipe builder. Look it up on the app store. And I did this cheesy chili beef dip in the Instant Pot and it turned out really well with some Fritos scoops, the Elite Chip for a hearty dip. And it turned out really well. So I really, you can obviously turn to his app to make whatever you need, but that was like my first time really being like, oh, I'm making something and I'm presenting it to a group.

• 25:25Rayna Greenberg?

  It was my favorite thing that I had besides my sliders, but it was like my favorite other food besides that of the day. I thought it was so good. I've never had anything like that.

• 25:33Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was really good. It was really so good, so easy to make. I mean, it was really just like 10, 15 minutes to make in the Instant Pot, but those jalapeno poppers, and you guys are probably picturing like traditional jalapeno poppers, but you did this like crescent roll and you twisted them. I mean, let's, we'll put a picture up on the screen because you guys really gotta take a look at these. And my brother has entered the chat and said, you should do these for Christmas Eve and you will win the appetizer contest. So we're going to stay on you.

• 25:55Rayna Greenberg?

  Um, I mean, basically I just like took pop pastry. I spread cream cheese on them, cheddar cheese and jalapenos. You could do this with anything. And then I made like a ranch dressing dip. I sliced it, twisted them, baked them, but

• 26:05Ashley Hesseltine?

  Homemade ranch, so casual.

• 26:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, I just, I don't like bottled ranch. It's gross.

• 26:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, well, I'll take. Okay, so we're gonna build up to the halftime show, but let's just talk about, I don't know, there's some celeb cameos, of course, all the celebrities for the Super Bowl.

• 26:20Rayna Greenberg?

  So Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton, I mean, kinda hard launch. They were at the Super Bowl together in a box or sitting next to each other. They didn't kiss, so there's no like photos of them, but like it is sort of a hard launch.

• 26:32Ashley Hesseltine?

  So people are saying they're not together and the picture, there was a picture of them kissing and it was AI generated. So there's this fake picture of them kissing going around and people are saying that they're not together and they're just friends and they were there. I don't know, whatever.

• 26:45Rayna Greenberg?

  There's a little too much time. They were at the, in the UK together and Paris and now the Super Bowl. It's just, it's a little too much time together to not be together.

• 26:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hmm. Yeah, that's fair. That's a lot. Okay, Tom Brady and Alex Earl. This, some videos of surface of them at these parties and being affectionate with each other, a little PDA. But there's a video that was like him dancing and it just, it washed over me that I don't think he has game. And I think he is Tom Brady. He's a, he's an icon, but I think he's robotic. I've always said that. I think he's an actual robot. But I can't picture him having game with a, what, a 25 year old? Is she 25? Like I picture Alex Earl texting the group chat, like you guys, I am trying to like Tom Brady, but I just cannot. Like this man keeps giving me the ick and like, I just can't get with him. Like I'm trying. He's like a legend. He's so hot.

• 27:34Rayna Greenberg?

  He's Tom Brady.

• 27:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  He's the best athlete. Yeah. But like, he is really giving me the ick and he just can't. I don't know.

• 27:40Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, you know, I say about him, anybody at that level could not be a normal person. If you are competing at that level, you've gotta be a robot. You have to be a total freak of nature. You can't compete at that height by, by being a normal person. But yes, watching him try to dance with her, you know, she is just like, I'm giving this my all, you guys, cause it is Tom Brady.

• 28:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  I am fighting for my life out here, trying to have a crush on Tom Brady. And it's just not panning out.

• 28:07Rayna Greenberg?

  Who could say no to Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen's ex-husband? Like, you're talking about the most famous man on earth, married to the most famous model on earth. Alex Earl's like, I wish I could be into this. I'm trying, you guys.

• 28:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  I would watch some videos with her and her ex, and he just had like a normal confidence about him, just like a smooth guy. Like, I just, Tom Brady is such a robot, and I just never want to see him dance. But I am obsessed with Tom Brady's single, retired from football era. I can't get enough of it. This is my Roman Empire. So keep it up, you two.

• 28:42Rayna Greenberg?

  This is sort of like when people have been in a relationship their whole like twenties and thirties, and they're unleashed into the wild in their forties, and they're like discovering they have limbs that they didn't know that they had. Like, I think he's just like, this is like, or like, when, okay, when child stars get really famous, and they're like crazy and weird, and they're adult, and it's like they got frozen at that age. Like, Tom Brady doesn't know how to function in the world. He was a professional football player and a married guy. He is just like out in the world now, just a wild animal.

• 29:10Ashley Hesseltine?

  And is he into Alex Earl, and he's texting his group chat, like, hey, what do I say to this girl? Like, I just, I don't know, cringe thinking about it. Like, him being like, how do I run game? And they're like, I don't know, dude, say you're Tom Brady. Like, just be Tom Brady.

• 29:26Rayna Greenberg?

  I also think it's sort of the same from his direction. He's like, I should be into this. It's Alex Earl. Like, who would not want to date her? I mean, she's so beautiful and famous and fun, but like, what is he gonna say to her? And to your point, Braxton had swag, because Braxton's not a star. Braxton's never gonna compete at Tom Brady's level.

• 29:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  Nobody even knows who he is. He's got that normal guy swag.

• 29:46Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, he's just, he's just a dude.

• 29:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  And he's not gonna have a career like that. I mean, that's the type of guy you want, is like a lesser-known pro athlete. Like, someone who is not so famous, that everyone is all over their dick all the time, but they're making that money. Like, you want a bench warmer in the NFL, or the MLB, or the NBA. Like, I don't know, I don't think I'd want an NBA bench warmer, is like a little bear scene, but like, give me any guy on the team. Especially baseball players, no namers make so much money. Not that I agree with it, but, you know.

• 30:17Rayna Greenberg?

  I am looking, I like, I'm, I'm, I'm shooting for their agents, their business managers, their lawyers, like, sports agents is what I think I'm into. Not the actual athletes.

• 30:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  I remember.

• 30:28Rayna Greenberg?

  Not that any athletes are trying to date me, but.

• 30:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, Charlie Whitehurst, who was the Clemson quarterback when I was there and he was fine. He, we weren't winning championships back then. I read an article about him once of just how much money he was making for not doing anything. And then he dated Jewel and I was like, what is actually happening? So he really, that's the way. You don't have to beat your body up in such a way and you're just a part of the team, making that money, dating Jewel, I guess. All right. Well, we'll see how this stacks up. Okay. Well, another couple that appears to maybe have broken up during the Super Bowl or right before it is Cardi B and Stefon Diggs, who he's on the Patriots. They are obviously a couple in public. He is recently under fire.

• 31:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  He was facing felony charges for an assault. So that's not great. And we'll kind of run through it. Like the, before the Super Bowl, she was on a carpet at an event or something and they were like, do you have anything you want to say to your man? Basically of any inspiration? Like she can't just tell him on like in person. And she just said, she looked at the reporter and was like, good luck. Like really like they, people thought she was being funny, but now you realize she wasn't. It was a crazy clip. Did you watch it? Yeah. It's perfect shade. I mean, it's just like, I'm going to let y'all know that we are breaking up, but to break up at the, do you think it was before the halftime show or before?

• 31:52Ashley Hesseltine?

  So she, she left the Super Bowl early. It says she was in her car after halftime. She stayed for halftime. She was in the halftime show. Obviously she was on the field in, she was a part of the performance, kind of like an extra. I hate to call Cardi B an extra, but that's what she did. She didn't perform or anything. She should have. I wish they would have done. I like it, but you know, missed opportunity. So she left after that and she skipped a $1.2 million post-game party she had planned. This is like

• 32:21Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, I forgot about this.

• 32:23Ashley Hesseltine?

  Like elite level petty to light a million dollars on fire because you're mad at your man. And then they have unfollowed each other on Instagram. There was photos making the rounds, Shashank sent this to us, he didn't fact check it, that she had commented on a photo of his that said, you're a disgrace to the game. And he said, you're a disgrace to music. And that was circulating and went viral and that was a hoax. That was just fake AI, whatever. So they didn't do all that, but she was really icy on the carpet about him. She left the game early and they've unfollowed each other. People are saying that the tension was driven by her seeing the mother of one of his other children in the front row.

• 33:03Rayna Greenberg?

  Yep.

• 33:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  So I don't know, but I mean, rough night for Stefon Diggs to lose the Super Bowl and your girl.

• 33:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Yeah, you fumbled Cardi and the Super Bowl. That's crazy.

• 33:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  And I don't know.

• 33:15Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know. She over serves us, you know, she's all, her offset used to break up every other day. And it was always some like crazy thing. And remember she was on stage and he like bum rushed the stage to try to like show up and get her back. And like, she's just, she's messy and then she gets back together with them and she brings us along for the ride. And I mean, she just is not going to keep it private and I love her for that. And I've honestly, I thought they might be back together next week. I mean, you just never know with her.

• 33:39Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know, I am invested for sure, but I mean, I don't know. The assault charges came out, it was his chef, I believe, that came out and said he like choked her out. And then Cardi popped off and was like, he didn't do that. And Cardi was sharing texts from the, her and this woman. And so it just, that got really messy. And I'm like, you have stood 10 toes down for this man who is being accused of these things. And now this, and so are they going to get back together? I have no idea. I mean, I'm team Cardi for life, but that was something else. I mean, if you break up, your man is on the field playing in the Super Bowl and you, you decide then you're breaking up.

• 34:18Rayna Greenberg?

  Losing so bad.

• 34:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, you unfollow, they haven't score jet and you're like, I'm leaving and I'm going to be in my car while she drove there. I don't know. And I'm going to unfollow him on Instagram.

• 34:27Rayna Greenberg?

  I mean, that is, I mean, it's gotta be one of the worst days of your life. If you were just like in a scoreless game at the Super Bowl. And your baby mama leaves you? I mean, she couldn't. That's how you know she fucking hates him. She couldn't wait till tomorrow. That's crazy.

• 34:43Ashley Hesseltine?

  If that is really how it played out, like he thought he would have her waiting for him after to console him. And she's home, unfollowed him on Instagram, drove herself home. When you said in her car, I was like, I can't even imagine such a thing. I'm sure she's a driver. To skip the party, what happened with the party? Did the million dollar party happen? Like she was gonna throw this man a party and she's like, uh, party's over. Party's canceled.

• 35:07Rayna Greenberg?

  I don't know. That's how you're just like that. That's how you really convince somebody like, I really hate you. I don't care. It's worth a million dollars to me to not interact with you.

• 35:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Your party. Yeah.

• 35:16Rayna Greenberg?

  Your little party.

• 35:17Ashley Hesseltine?

  Hey, have the worst night of your life.

• 35:20Rayna Greenberg?

  Okay, so. So the real show of the night, the thing we've all been building towards, the Bad Bunny halftime show. I mean, this, I, I have never, ever heard, I mean, of course, nobody ever has heard a halftime show be talked about so much more than the game. I mean, I didn't watch one minute of that game. All we talked about was the halftime show. That's what united our entire house together. We finally sat down together.

• 35:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  I know. We weren't even like, I really had not watched one play. I mean, I didn't care. I obviously cared in years past. Last year I cared, even though that was a boring game too, but at least the Birds won. But yeah, I mean, this was the Benito Bowl. It's all anyone cared about. And you guys, at this point, this is Thursday, you've seen all the memes, you've watched it. We don't need to recap everything that you've already seen, but we just want to express how much we loved it. I mean, I was watching it and I was like, this is so beautiful and I'm emotional, but I'm throwing ass. You know, like this is just so lit, but it's like a movie, like it would move from set to set. I'm like, this is like a Broadway show. This is like a storytelling experience.

• 36:26Ashley Hesseltine?

  This symbolism, this journey through Puerto Rican culture, obviously the music, not a word in English, but he shouted out all the countries and all of the Americas. It was so special. I just, I think we all collectively were so hype and turned on, quite honestly.

• 36:43Rayna Greenberg?

  And this became, it's officially. It became the most watched Super Bowl halftime show in history, 135 million views. And Bad Bunny said, you know, my only stipulation was that I will not sing in English. And, you know, I'm gonna sing in my native tongue. And there was so much symbolism to your point. It was like watching a play. I mean, it was fascinating how much went into this. And I don't know if you guys have seen any reels of time loops, time lapses of them setting up the field with like all of those stalks of grass and like all the different actors. And I mean, they just brought in so many different people. There was a wedding. Like it was, there was a taco truck. Yes, a real wedding. And there were so many cameos and dancers.

• 37:24Rayna Greenberg?

  And it just, it was really just fun. It was just a celebration of just like music and togetherness. And, you know, there's so many companies that I think are putting their money and their support behind MAGA. And it was nice to see the NFL not do that. And there was a giant sign that said, the only thing stronger than hate is love. And I'm sure the NFL had their own financial reasons for supporting this. But to have one of the biggest organizations in the world and the country support this and have this be their performer was really special. And yes, to Ashley's point, I'm sure you guys have watched this a ton of times by now. But we just loved it and really congratulations to him.

• 37:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was just incredible. It was so special. I mean, I just have so many questions because obviously you know Roc Nation does these halftime shows. And who has the final say? Like, is it, did Jay-Z sign up for this? And he was like, I have the final say. I have creative control 100%. Because this year, Kendrick last year, like this, these are powerful messages being sent to a country that is divided and you love to see it. And I mean, you know, I hate where we are right now. That's the goes without saying. But for this to happen, this message to be sent while people are literally being ripped off the streets

• 38:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  for speaking Spanish and being kidnapped and thrown into jail cells because they are Latin in any way. Like we are living in two worlds. And so it couldn't have been at a better time, but it was like, I can't believe this.

• 38:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Contrast, you know. It's just, it's exhausting that everything has to be like this all the time. I know. I'm so tired. I just want to like, watch this and enjoy it. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And I'm sorry that our artists have to be, you know, I'm, I'm glad that our artists have to. Yes, I'm, they did be subjected to this and you know, he wore like a bulletproof vest to the Grammys, I heard. And like Bad Bunny did. And it's just, it's exhausting that this has to be like this. And we have this alternative halftime show and you have all these celebrities speaking out against it. And you know, people are so enraged, it's not a hot take, people are so enraged by the performer at the halftime show speaking Spanish. But you're not as enraged about the Epstein files and people literally taking advantage of young children, young girls. I mean, this is what you choose to be enraged about?

• 39:39Rayna Greenberg?

  A 15 minute performance at something that you're not being paid to be at, that you could just turn off. It is so wildly embarrassing to be racist or racist adjacent. And it, these people are outing themselves more and more. And it's crazy to speak out, like you are just embarrassing yourself. Like you have no culture, you don't care about other cultures, you have no flavor, you can't dance, your food sucks. You are so not hot. No one wants you at their party. Like it's such loser behavior. And I can't believe people openly admit that I'm this big of a fucking loser. I can just not, I mean, imagine just not being able to have fun. Like what is it like being that big of a fucking loser?

• 40:23Rayna Greenberg?

  And also like the people, I mean, every, every like, everything that people say about this, yes, he is an American. Also, we've had tons of people that by the way, are not American that have performed at the Super Bowl. Literally all of them. Rihanna is from Barbados, you have, you have U2 and the Rolling Stones from the UK, you have Shakira. I mean, there's tons of people that are not natu- Coldplay. Yeah, Coldplay. You have tons of people that are not natural born Americans, unlike Bad Bunny. And just imagine being such a fucking loser that you can't enjoy something for 15 minutes or turn it off. You're like, I gotta go to the alternative one.

• 40:55Ashley Hesseltine?

  We saw, obviously, Donald Trump went off about it, who fucking cares? But we saw some people that were surprising, New York Housewives, for one, who got on their social media to rant about this, specifically Jill Zarin, which I couldn't believe what I was watching. It has since been deleted, but people have saved it and are stitching it, and it is shocking.

• 41:22Rayna Greenberg?

  So, speaking of House, so there was a few that made statements. Taylor Armstrong, who you guys might remember from Beverly Hills, Housewives made a statement. Bethenny Frankel also took it down, but Jill Zarin is the one that has gone like so viral. And it's so interesting, I mean, yes, she was on The Housewife for many years. She was from 2008 to 2011. She's a pretty wealthy, cosmopolitan, Jewish New Yorker, and she took to her story to say how much she hated it. And she, with her whole chest, said there's no white people depicted. I mean, I truly couldn't believe the words I was hearing, because I find it shocking that anybody would say this. But somebody with real media training got on their Instagram story and said something so horrifying, so disgusting, that you should have kept your fucking self, but you were like, "I'm gonna, I'm gonna hop on here and tell millions of people this with my whole chest."

• 42:07Rayna Greenberg?

  For what reason?

• 42:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  It was so shocking, because, yes, this is a person who should know better, even if you hold those beliefs. I think the saddest part to me, when people post stuff like that, is you think enough people hold this same belief that it will be well received. You are so removed from reality, which means that the majority of people you surround yourself with hold that belief. Like, you, you, you post that, you're like, "Some people won't like it. It will be controversial, but I won't be canceled for it." How do you not know? How in this landscape do you think that's not getting you canceled? Like, how delusional are you that you think more people hold this belief? I think that's the saddest part to me. Like, you think you're in the right with enough people that it will be okay? And it's not.

• 42:53Ashley Hesseltine?

  And her daughter, who we know and we love... Posted on her story how much she loved it and how great it was and all the same sentiments that we've shared, which we found to be interesting, but I think she was like, I gotta make it known that I don't align with those beliefs. And so shout out to her. We love her.

• 43:13Rayna Greenberg?

  She was quick to post about it. Jill Zarin said this is the worst halftime show ever. And her daughter was pretty quick to the internet to say how much she loved it, how important this was. And then on top of that, Zarin Fabrics, which was heavily featured on Real Housewives of New York, her late husband Bobby started it. Zarin Fabrics also put out a statement. Zarin Fabrics stands firmly against racism, discrimination and rhetoric that seeks to exclude or diminish people based on identity, culture and background. I mean, people stormed these comments. They have a big photo of her with an X through her face on the Instagram post. And people, and they said, we're not associated with her. She doesn't make money from this company. She is not a member of this company any longer. So, I mean, both her company, former

• 43:56Rayna Greenberg?

  company and her daughter, immediately on the internet were like, no, we don't stand, we don't stand beside this.

• 44:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  I mean, if she would have run this by her daughter, she wouldn't have posted it. And Bethenny Frankel posted something gross too. She has since taken it down. Like, what is fucking wrong with you people? Like, good to know, this is how you feel, but I think it's crazy and you should know better. And like, you know, we, we want to still keep this positive. Like, this performance and the way it has been received is what America should be about. Diversity and inclusion and opportunity and freedom of expression and love. And I really do, it has given a lot of people hope and has really united us, the, the hot people and the people who are on the right side of history and culture. And I just, you know, I hope we get to a point sooner than later where that feels accurate because

• 44:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  that performance doesn't represent actually what we are going through right now as a country. And I just hope that it will and we'll get there. And it was just like, it's how I felt when I saw Beyonce last year. I was like, this is what we should be. This is a picture of what America should be. This, and this is how it feels in this moment. And so I love. His performance and everyone that participated and what they were able to accomplish in making us feel that type of hope and love and tingling in our vaginas. Yeah, and they, listen, they risked a lot, you know, they risked their, their safety and a lot of backlash online to, to do so and to stand by this message. Every dancer, every producer, Bad Bunny himself, everybody who collaborated with him, and they really risked a lot, put themselves on the line to do this. And you just love to see it. You love to see that

• 45:29Ashley Hesseltine?

  there's still big voices in the world, the biggest voice in music that wants to do this. So I just had a few fun facts for you. So you already mentioned that it was the most watched Super Bowl of all time, 135 million views. The Bushes, the people who dressed up as the Bushes, did you see what they got paid? So they got, they got paid 1870 an hour for 70 hours of work, eight days of rehearsal, and then game day. So $1,300, which, I mean, listen, I think the Super Bowl is all the money in the world. These people should get paid more. Notoriously, halftime performers don't get paid as much as you think they should. They were on the field for the Super Bowl in this iconic performance. I think people would do it for free, but I obviously certainly think they should get paid more. But, you know, that's a once in a lifetime experience and that's what they got paid. The toilet flush stat, did you see this?

• 46:12Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yes, I did. Okay, I'll let you read it. Okay, so the, the stat is that about 761,000 toilets were flushed in New York after Bad Bunny's halftime show. New York City saw a significant reduction in water usage throughout the five boroughs during the halftime show, but in the 15 minutes right after the show ended, there was a spike in usage equivalent to 761,000 toilets flushing across town, which means people were holding it so they wouldn't miss a moment of the show. Cause New Yorkers are hot. Yes, like if you got a UTI from the Bad Bunny halftime show, I mean, can you imagine getting a UTI from Bad Bunny in any way? But like, if someone's like, I'm fucked up because I held my pee for the whole show.

• 46:56Ashley Hesseltine?

  A significant drop. That's so crazy. It, it took me, when I saw this stat, it took me a minute to realize what that meant. And I was like, okay, right, people just fucking held it. People have been drinking beer and whatever else. They have, they've broken the seal. They have to piss and they're like, I gotta wait 15 minutes and then I'm gonna go. I stand by it. Handle my business.

• 47:20Rayna Greenberg?

  And then, you know, alternatively, we have the 200 fucking losers that went to the Turning Point USA halftime show. I mean, this was an abomination. It was honestly, it was even better than I hoped for it to be. It was even more embarrassing than I could have ever hoped for. I mean, it was a tiny room. I didn't also know this is filmed in an undisclosed location prior to the actual halftime, so that those people could also watch the halftime show.

• 47:46Rayna Greenberg?

  And you saw these three, just like no name, Brantley, Brightley, Camber.

• 47:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  Bumblebee.

• 47:52Rayna Greenberg?

  Yes, Brett Brighton. I don't know what their fucking names were. They were all so embarrassing. And then even the biggest embarrassment of all, Kid Rock. And he is just so horrible to watch. I couldn't have hoped for anything better. And watching everybody pretend to have fun in that room, jamming out. You know who didn't pretend to have fun? Usha Vance. She refused to like she was having fun. And it's like, girl, you're not like a baddie for pretending you don't like this. You're still there.

• 48:18Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, literally not one person who could hold a beat in the whole room. Kid Rock's lip syncing so obviously. And they didn't secure the right licensing to stream it on X as planned. Of course, these fucking idiots didn't get that ahead of it. Oh, you're gonna play me, you're just gonna livestream. You ever heard of copyright? You ever heard of like music licensing? So they didn't stream it. And they keep trying to exaggerate these viewership numbers. They're like, I think we're up to 20 million. Shut the fuck up. So it's probably, it's like four to six million. Also, people are watching it, like hate watching it to make fun of it. I refuse to.

• 48:50Rayna Greenberg?

  The only people who watched it was that.

• 48:51Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah. And then I love the stat that the Puppy Bowl had more views. The Puppy Bowl had 12 million views. Yeah. So the Puppy Bowl outperformed the T-Pusay. Do you call it T-Pusay? I can't stop. It's just like what I've, the internet calls Turning Point. So I just, that's what I call it, T-Pusay. So it was just this disaster. And did you see the, the mashup video I'm loving the most is like showing like this hot moment from the Bad Bunny halftime show with Gasolina? And then it pans right to this fucking no name singer going, "I just wanna kiss my fish." I just wanna drink my beer. And it's like a dead silent.

• 49:28Rayna Greenberg?

  He is like, he is like a meme of country music. I mean, people don't, this is what, like, his songs are what people like, think of when they think of country music, but it's not. I love country music. His seems like a joke.

• 49:40Ashley Hesseltine?

  Whoever he is, I don't know. So it was a mess and it was not cool in any way. And it's just so embarrassing that they did that. You, I just can't believe the way these people move through the world. I get Zach Bryan has come out and been like, this was mortifying that they did this.

• 49:58Rayna Greenberg?

  Zach Bryan is embarrassed.

• 50:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  Even Zach, well, Zach Bryan, I mean, he's coming, he's on the right side of history and maybe he always have been. I mean, he's not a good boyfriend, but you know, maybe he is a good activist. So it's just, these people are digging their grave and I really love to see it.

• 50:14Rayna Greenberg?

  It's just like, can't you guys just have fun? Can't you guys just relax and have fun and like, stop hating everybody and being so terrible? Can't you just like shake your booty to a little bit of Latin music and just relax?

• 50:24Ashley Hesseltine?

  They literally cannot. And you know, these people are eating guac. You know, they're drinking Coronas. You know, they did the Macarena in 1993.

• 50:33Rayna Greenberg?

  Oh, don't even get me started on this.

• 50:35Ashley Hesseltine?

  Just buffet of different things that they will support and not support. Okay. Well, that was your Super Bowl report and uh, next year it's going to be here in LA on Valentine's Day. We definitely want to make sure we go to it and do all the parties and do all the things. So we're looking forward to that. Maybe the Eagles will be in it again. Maybe it'll be the Eagles and the Steelers when that be fun. But we're just going to go over our remaining partners and then we will give you guys your headlines. I am going to tell you about Wild Grain. I am so obsessed with Wild Grain. I talk about this all the time. So it is the first bake from frozen subscription box for sourdough breads, artisanal pastries and fresh pastas. So what I've had from Wild Grain in 2026, I've had the sourdough bread is incredible. I've had the chocolate chip cookies. I've had the pastas.

• 51:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  The croissants are amazing, regular and chocolate. And uh, we have a loaf of bread in there right now. We were going to have that with our dinner tonight. I am so obsessed with it. It's so good. It's so delicious. I mean, it's just the best. Like you could go to any bakery in town with a line wrapped around the block and this would be just as good. And again, you're just going to get it. Delivered to you and they're just bake from frozen. So you just throw them in the freezer and then when you're ready, you're just gonna stick them in the oven. We even use our like mini air fryer that acts as an oven, or if you're pasta, obviously you're gonna put it in your boiling water. Wild Grain uses simple ingredients. You can pronounce a slow fermentation process that can be easier on your body, enricher in nutrients and antioxidants, no

• 52:01Ashley Hesseltine?

  preservatives, no shortcuts. Everything is customizable. So they have a variety box, but they also have a gluten-free box, vegan box, and a new protein box. They do that as well. And we're just great. I mean, it's perfect for easy dinners, your cozy weekend brunches, warming you up in the cold weather, of course, and makes great gifts. I mean, get it for yourself, get it for someone else. I think it's like the best gift you could ever give somebody. So there is nothing like having an artisan bakery in your freezer to chase away the winter chill. Now is the best time to stay in and enjoy comforting homemade meals with Wild Grain. We highly recommend giving Wild Grain a try.

• 53:35Rayna Greenberg?

  and also and the necklace that I bought Ashley for our anniversary that matches her engagement ring. I put it on Tik, I did a TikTok yesterday and everybody was like, okay, necklace. People were obsessing over this ruby and diamond necklace.

• 53:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Yeah, yeah. Maybe that's why Shashank didn't tell me where you guys were going for Valentine's Day. He's like, Raina knows too much.

• 53:56Rayna Greenberg?

  She's been involved already too much.

• 53:58Ashley Hesseltine?

• 54:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  Oh my God.

• 54:36Rayna Greenberg?

  So Real Housewives of New York was doing a reboot and they had announced it as the golden life and Jill Zarin has been fired from this in light of recent public comments made by Jill Zarin. Blink 49 Studios has decided to not move forward with her involvement in this. I mean, listen, you hate to see anybody lose income, but you know, uh, actions have consequences and that is the consequence of your action.

• 55:00Ashley Hesseltine?

  I'll never understand it. Like, is she that removed from the, the news cycle that she thought that was okay to post? I will never get over it unless Jill didn't want to do that show and she was like, let me get fired. Like, it almost feels purposeful. That's how much it feels like she should have known. Like, literally, she was like, how can I get out of doing the golden years or whatever the fuck you just said? She's like, I will post a racist rant about Bad Bunny. She's like, I actually don't feel this way, but I'm trying to get fired. Like, it almost feels like that level.

• 55:28Rayna Greenberg?

  It's so true. I mean, you would, before you and I make any public statements, I think about how they're gonna sound and you and I are not famous on that level.

• 55:37Ashley Hesseltine?

  Well, she's also really close with her daughter. And again, we love Ally. And so it's just like, if you really are on the fence of a should I push post on this, you ask your kid.

• 55:47Rayna Greenberg?

  Totally.

• 55:48Ashley Hesseltine?

  Or your publicist or anybody. If you can't reach your publicist on a Sunday night, you ask your literal kid and she would have been like, Mom, is this a joke? No.

• 55:56Rayna Greenberg?

  Can we not? No, seriously, agents, managers, but yeah, your kid in your home. Okay, so that's your first headline of the day.

• 56:03Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so speaking of cancellations, you know MAGA Fest, we've talked about this, I guess it's called Rock the Country, but we call it MAGA Fest. This is Kid Rock's festival, fucking loser. And they have canceled a stop in South Carolina because like literally all of the artists pulled out of it. So the main, we, we saw that Ludacris pulled out and other artists had pulled out too, but they have different artists for every stop, which is what I'm understanding. So the one that was going to be in Anderson, South Carolina, which is right near Clemson. So I've been to Anderson a million times, would always hit up the Chili's in Anderson and go to the Anderson Mall. Anyway, that was supposed to be in July. Creed, Creed was going to be the headliner for that and Creed has pulled out, which Raina makes me so happy because you know, I was back in my Creed era and I didn't really want to say anything. Then I saw they were doing this festival and I was like, oh my God, I could have guessed.

• 56:46Ashley Hesseltine?

  And I, I guess I knew, kind of knew they were Republican, but I didn't know they were full MAGA and maybe they still are. But bottom line Creed pulled out, so they canceled the festival stop. I feel like I can still go to the summer of 99 tour in Chicago and see Creed. I have been playing them, I will admit it, and stay tuned for my feelings on Creed. But I'm just loving to see these artists pull out of this fucking festival to the point where they have to cancel stops.

• 57:09Rayna Greenberg?

  I just, I think that, you know, we've talked about the only way to stop this administration, what's happening is to hit them where it hurts, which is their wallets and seeing that all these things are being canceled and people are losing money is what's going to stop these things. Okay, something that is near and dear to my heart, a Gossip Girl sequel is in the works. The writer of the original series is writing a Blair Waldorf sequel. So 20 years later, where is Blair Waldorf? And I love that they chose her over Serena. I always found her to be a more interesting, a dynamic character. I think that Serena is just so pick me. I'm, I just, I've always like, obviously she was like so evil Blair, but like that's the character that interests me most of the entire series. Well, Chuck too, but mostly her.

• 57:50Rayna Greenberg?

  And so that is slated for release in the summer of 2027 and I just cannot wait. I'm fully sad for this.

• 57:58Ashley Hesseltine?

  I really can't wait either and you're so right. And I've always thought that Blair is the, the star.

• 58:02Rayna Greenberg?

  Absolutely.

• 58:02Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so on a darker note, the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, you guys have seen at this point. I mean, this happened on January 31st. So as this airs, I mean, hopefully as this airs, she has been found and we can cut this completely. But how many, that's, we're coming up on like two weeks. And this is the 84 year old mother of the Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie. She was dropped off at her home in Tucson, Arizona on January 31st and disappeared. There has been ransom notes, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have posted on Instagram, like, stuff you only see in the movies. I can't believe what we're watching is real life. Like, them trying to negotiate with kidnappers? Like, what is happening?

• 58:44Ashley Hesseltine?

  And so, as we record, this footage just came out. I don't understand why this just came out. I don't understand why this has just been released, that these armed masked people on her doorstep, basically probably disabling her security cameras. And so, they're seeing that there are these suspects, and this is like a developing story. It is horrifying, a- a- and I, like, can't believe that this is real life. And, I- I mean, that's all we can really say. I mean, we just wanted to address that this is like a developing story, and the FBI, which I cannot believe they have to deal with fucking Cash Patel on this. What an absolute clown. Every time I see his name, I'm like, that's not a real

• 59:27Ashley Hesseltine?

  person in the FBI. That's like, a middle schooler, that's like, pretending to be in the FBI, but they've just released these surveillance photos and videos. But, I mean, yeah, people wearing gloves and masks and backpacks, and they're tampering with their camera. And this is just really sad and scary, and I just feel for the family. We feel for them, and this is a developing story. So, um, I've never seen anything like this, truly. And our hearts go out to them, and like, hopefully she is brought back home safe. I mean, it's so horrifying. This poor woman. Has anything ever happened like this? I just, I thought this was just in the movies. I don't know. Like, I truly, like, it- it just, it doesn't feel r- real. I know.

• 1:00:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  So, I don't know what's, what's gonna happen, but, um, we are truly, like, praying for that family, and hope she gets home safe. Um, quick Ja Rule update. Ja Rule and Tony Ayo got in a fight on a flight. There was a pillow that was thrown. I mean, if I- They just started beefing on a flight. If I was on a flight, and I saw Ja Rule, Ja for life, love him. If I saw Ja Rule toss a pillow at somebody, I mean, what a treat. What a treat, that I didn't have to pay attention to the in-flight entertainment. Yeah, so Tony Ayo, and I guess, obviously, they- they have beef, and then Ja Rule went on X and was like, "I popped on these punks by myself on a plane. I threw the pillow at Ayo head, cuz you soft knocked your hat off." That shit was hilarious. And I guess, um-

• 1:00:54Ashley Hesseltine?

  TMZ reached out. Hi, this is Jamie from TMZ reached out for a comment regarding a Delta flight, not Delta, just a commercial flight. Ja Rule's throwing pillows on a commercial flight. 50 Cent under the chat. He was like, yeah, Ja, whatever. He said something.

• 1:01:08Rayna Greenberg?

  You never think you'd say it.

• 1:01:09Ashley Hesseltine?

  Notable.

• 1:01:10Rayna Greenberg?

  Nothing fun ever happens on flights that I'm on.

• 1:01:13Ashley Hesseltine?

  The crew had to step in and get them both off the plane. Raina, if I saw a pillow flying through the air in a Delta flight and it was Ja Rule throwing a pillow at Tony Ayo and he knocked his hat off, like, I could die happy.

• 1:01:23Rayna Greenberg?

  I, insanity. Ja Rule's like 5'3", so little. I mean, it's so fun to see.

• 1:01:30Ashley Hesseltine?

  Okay, so, uh, we will end with a true gangster, which is Jordan Huston. Raina, she is a fucking G for this. I cannot get over what we're about to talk about.

• 1:01:41Rayna Greenberg?

  So, the, the title of the article, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan, wears t-shirt with connection to alleged Robert Kraft prostitution bust. So, there was a prostitution bust. It was back in like 2020. Robert Kraft, who's owner of the Patriots, he allegedly was paying for sex in an establishment in January of 2019. He was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution and those counts were dropped, but Jordan, who I guess never forgets a slight, seven years later was out in public wearing a t-shirt that has the name of the massage parlor on it.

• 1:02:15Ashley Hesseltine?

  Raina, I cannot, Orchids of Asia Day Spa. Okay, so, but the reason is that I guess Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft have been publicly feuding. So, this didn't come out of nowhere, but for her to wear that, and by the way, like, the whole Robert Kraft prostitution thing was something they couldn't say during the Tom Brady roast, remember? Like, didn't someone start, someone started to say it and Tom Brady got up, who, which comedian was it? Tom Brady got up out of his seat and went and got in their face. Like, this is a thing that, like, we don't speak of, basically.

• 1:02:44Rayna Greenberg?

  You're not allowed to say.

• 1:02:45Ashley Hesseltine?

  You know what I'm saying? You're not supposed to speak of it. So... Absolute gangster move, top level trolling. Like if you're not publicly trolling your man's nemesis, you don't love him. Like I would do this for you, Raina. Like if you had something going on like this and I could wear a T-shirt in public, like I would do that shit for you. Where did, thank you so much. I would do that shit for you. And where do you think she got the merch? I mean, this is so many years later. You think she like contacted the day spa? Or did she get it made? High Orchards of Asia. I would like to buy a shirt. Since closed. It's a Florida massage parlor has since closed. Like she made this shit. She made it. She made it. Contacted a merch company. She dialed up Printful and was like, make me this. She went on Etsy. Etsy, yes, Etsy.

• 1:03:31Ashley Hesseltine?

  I just, I honestly, I just, I love her more every day.

• 1:03:36Ashley Hesseltine?

  This, this is the Jordaan Stan podcast.

• 1:03:42Ashley Hesseltine?

  She could do no wrong in her eyes. We don't care. And then did Bill know? Like, did they sit around and dream this up? You know, like, or was Bill like, do you think he even knew what was happening? I don't think he understands trolling people. Isn't he like 74 years old? Yeah, I'd like, he's just like Jordaan is gonna dawn. Let her cook. Let her cook. She is the epitome of let her cook.

• 1:04:06Ashley Hesseltine?

  What's he gonna do? He's gonna try to stop her from doing so. Obviously he's not going to. I live for it. I live for Jordaan. Yeah. So that's what's going on with them. We were glad to bring you guys that up.

• 1:04:19Ashley Hesseltine?

  And you know, if you are trolling your partner's nemesis like this, I don't know if that's a healthy relationship. So let her be a role model for everybody. And that is your snack, you guys. A lot of stuff in this one. If you're still here, thank you so much for listening. And you can find us at girlsgottaeat.com, girlsgottaeatpodcast on Instagram and TikTok.
