emmy nominees, explosive diarrhea, and swooning over steve carrell
55m 1s
Katie and Sam reflect on a recent week filled with personal and cultural moments. They share an inspiring story from a women’s gathering at Gloria Steinem’s home in New York, where they formed a deep bond with a stranger during a lengthy drive home after her flight was canceled—an experience they describe as heartfelt and transformative. This moment underscores the value of genuine, unstructured female connection. The conversation then expands to broader cultural topics, including the 2024 Emmy nominations, where *Pit* leads with 25 nominations, while *Hacks* and *Beef* receive praise for their storytelling, though some shows like *Beef* and *Stranger Things* are criticized for plot holes or dark content. They also discuss emotional reading experiences, such as *Night Road*, which deeply moved them due to its themes of motherhood and loss. Other topics include the rise of AI in communication, the regressive use of language in shows like *Love Island*, and the growing concern over gendered norms in education and media. The discussion highlights how personal experiences—like childbirth or school-day interactions—shape broader cultural perceptions. Ultimately, the episode centers on connection, authenticity, and the shared emotional landscapes of women navigating modern life, work, and entertainment. The hosts conclude by emphasizing the importance of community, empathy, and mindful media consumption in a world increasingly defined by technology and digital connection.
(upbeat music) - Welcome to Justice Girls at his page, Katie and Sam. - Quick housekeeping. We have a lot of TV to catch up on. I feel like TV has been happening that Emmy nominations came out and I wanna talk about it. But first, how was everybody's week? I missed you guys. - So good. - It's you guys too, we're here. We were just talking off air how like you wake up and then five hours goes by and now we're in New York. - Yeah, it feels like a fever dream. - I was a little bit more three days ago. Can I tell you what I did actually? - Wait, you were here? - I was in New York. - She was at like a celebrity's home, right? - Oh my gosh, yes, Thomas. - I was asked you about it. - Yes, oh, thank you. - It went very well, but I wanna tell you something about what happened after. - Okay, because can we have, give comments. - Okay, so I got invited to this talking circle like Gloria Steinem's home. Very exciting, very fun. And an amazing group of people, obviously an icon's home. - Yes. - Her home is gorgeous. - I was just about to say give us a little bit of the details. Obviously not where it is. - You can tell it's just a lived in home where she's just collected things like Pearl and, you know, like you walk in your own character. - Oh my gosh. - There was not one spot that didn't have something on it. It was so cool. It felt very New York. It was a really, really cool space. But it was women from all over the country. So, you know, I didn't think I would know anyone. I knew like one or two people, but I didn't know that many people. I was talking to this woman. I was like, "Oh, where are you from?" She's like, "Oh, I live in San Francisco." I was like, "Cool, I'm from Massachusetts." And she said, "Where?" And I always go, "Are you familiar with Massachusetts?" 'Cause I hate telling people where I'm from 'cause nobody knows where it is. And she's like, "I actually am. I grew up in New Hampshire." So we start chatting. Turns out we spend our summers like where we go for our beach house is where she grew up. And it's where she goes for her summer. So we're talking whatever. I'm like, "Oh, how did you get here?" She's like, "I flew here. "Cool." And I'm flying home tonight. I said, "Oh, so funny. "I drove here. "I could have driven you, right? "We have this little exchange cute, cute." We're sitting at dinner afterwards. We're all getting cocktails and she looks to me and she goes, "My flight just got canceled." - Did you spend the night at your house? - She was going to catch a ride. And I'm like, "For sure, girl." And so that's so fun. - Yeah, so I drove this woman who was a stranger home for four hours and we didn't stop talking. I mean, we were like, "We were fine. "We were totally fine, but I didn't tell Matt." So I texted Matt, I was like, "On my way." But I was like, "I don't know, "'cause at first I couldn't remember her name." So I had just met her. But I could not remember her name for the life of me. So I was like, "I can't call Matt "'cause I don't know. "He'll be like, "Oh, who's in the car with you?" And I would say, "I don't know. "It's a nice woman." Forget her name, then I remembered it halfway through and I was like, "Oh my gosh, I remember her name." - Can we just say really quickly, you were astonished that I hitchhiked in the O'Semnity, but yeah, you drove a stranger home. - I did, but I was taking a page out of your book, I kept my head up, airpods out. - Eyes locked, jogs out. - It'd be really weird if you were at an event though, you had your airpods in your head down. Maybe we are never inviting page anywhere again. - You were obviously with so many like minded women that like morals, values, ethics lie. - Oh, I felt safe. But also, what did she look to me and said, "Can I catch your ad?" And I was like, "Yeah, no." - Yeah, what are you supposed to say? - Yeah, I was just lucky that she and I were able to gab the whole time, 'cause otherwise that would have been a very long four hour drive, but it was great. So yeah, like I was here a couple days ago and I made a new friend and now our kids are gonna play together at the beach this summer. - That's amazing. - That's so fun. - I feel like we're a big new hamster podcast. Would it live for your die? - Yeah, yes. - I've never been, take me. - I haven't either. - You were supposed to come to Boston. - I've never been about, I got really tired and so we drove to Charleston and stuff. - So you chose to drive instead of taking a three hour drive? - Yeah, why wouldn't you fly to Boston? - I think we were just at a point where we're like, we need to just be able to get in the car, go, like four hour drive is so easy. - Yeah, I would see you there. - Four hours from our front door and to not have to go to an airport. - And the drive can be relaxing. - And you can throw whatever you want in the car that you have to be able to, you know. So it just-- - You can leave when you want. - Yeah, yes. And then with the kids, like just knowing we were like, closer for emergencies, they're, you know, two and four, it's crazy. So with grandparents, I'm like, just to know we're nearby, but-- - Oh yeah. - Yeah, wait, Paige, you also want to know that I need to hear all about it. Did you cry? - This, I told Gabe I've been thinking about him, okay. - He grabbed the mic. - He grabbed the game grabs the mic. - Has anybody ever told you that you look like, I think it's the basis or one of the guys in the band? You look like-- - That is such a neat-- - Neat Sean's band. - I think that's such a niche reference. - He looked, first off, I saw this kind of TikTok before I ever went to the concert. He put up one of those pictures where he's like, "Mom, I made it to the big leagues and it's him with his baseball uniform and T-ball, and then you swipe it at him on the stage with no accompaniment for warming it." - Can we pull him up? - No, I'm not. - No, I'm not. - Gabe's turning like a funeral. - I'm googling his bandmates right now. - Okay. - First off, he's got this badass woman in his band, who plays a fiddle, she's amazing. Love her. - Sorry, I just saw the guy. - Do you look like the one who didn't like him? - I kind of see it. - Wait, I don't know, I need you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you kind of look like him. And I was like, "Oh wow, that looks so much like Gabe." - I try to see it. - Yeah. - That's kind of crazy. - I just, I thought, by the way, you were saying it, I thought it was gonna be something like very commonplace. - That's like, "Oh, Gabe." - Yeah, I see it. - Like Gabe. - I just need a haircut. - You're like, "What's Gabe doing here?" - Gabe's multifaceted, he's so talented. - He is, yeah. The woman in his band though I've seen her before, she's amazing, and literally every single time the camera was on her, the crowd just erupts. - Love that. - Like they're just so happy for this woman, and she's so fun, and she had the cute bubble braids in. I was like, "Girl, I love this." - Yes. - She has so much fun. - Played her fiddle, she like dancing around with the fiddle, like very mobile. - She's like running around. Yeah, she's crazy. Like they're all. - So that's how Dave Matthews is. - Oh, I love a good day. - Dave Matthews is really really fun. That is the first thing I thought when I saw him two years ago as like his band is so fun. Like you don't even just watch him, you watch the band, too. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, they're really entertaining. So that was really great. It was at Fenway Park. I was telling Kate this in the cab, like Noah is obviously from the Boston area. But many of his songs are about Boston. And so he, it was just insanity, like how many people were there, how many people were in the streets, how crazy it was. But also on TikTok, everybody was like, I really hate the Fenway favoritism. Where are they getting the best songs? - Oh my gosh. - Because he has a set list, he plays. - Yeah. - But in Boston, he added so many other songs because he had about your own town show. - Your own town show. - Would it have been her show or he replaced you? - No, he replaced, so there were certain songs that we didn't get from the new album where he replaced them with songs that are like hyper-focus on like Boston. - But as you should. - Did you know that though? - Or did you miss out on some of the new album songs you wanted? - No, my favorite ones were played except for one, which he ended up saving for the very last night, which I was really bummed about. But I mean, I knew that was going to happen the last night. It's always the big, you know, he was there for four nights. - Four? - Yeah. - I don't even know how you sing that long for four nights, right? - I mean, two nights. - I mean, three packs of the airs tour. - It's like, she did three, three and a half hours shows, like four nights in a row. - I just don't actually understand it. And I-- - The Wembley was-- - It's a, I mean, she was, like, I, she kind of have to be an elite athlete. - Yeah. - To do it. - Didn't she say she would run on a treadmill and sing? - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - I can only read half hours. - I was Kelsey because she doesn't talk to people after shows. So-- - How could you? - Yes, so she-- - You can't. - When this PR people reached out to meet her, she was like, no. - I had a sore throat from singing the next day. (laughing) - That's like, I'm clearly not crazy. - My fans on, I have a sore throat. I can't imagine. (laughing) - You also have a sore throat. - You're going hard at a concert, too, where you're like screaming and jumping versus, I'm not saying they don't do a lot, but they're singing into a microphone versus, I don't know about you. - I mean, no, he-- - I'm like screaming. - I'm not a screamer. - Okay. - What I was with is a screamer, but she was peak millennial, she was like, yeah, just screamer. And the girls in front of us were very judging, and they kept just like, eyeing us and being like, wow, annoying old ladies. - Oh, that's not fair. - When they come out, what is it called collective effervescence, right, when you get really excited and like moved by-- - Like the group. - That's how I felt when Taylor came out, you know, when they did the thing, not to bring it back to Taylor, but that's like the last concert I've been to, where she kind of appears and everyone's screaming together. I just cried. And it's not because I'm like crying, because I'm seeing Taylor, it's because I'm like, the feeling in the room. - Yeah, I'm reaching you as I know. - I was not a cryer, as we've said. I'm actually, I cried on the train this morning, so maybe I am a cryer, but not in that sense. - Okay. - 'Cause you're reading Night Road. - Night Road by Chris and Hannah. - You're gonna get a context to why you're crying on the train. - Oh, yeah, I was like, I was crying on the train. - I was like, I was crying all by myself. - I warned you now. I said, if you read that book, you are going to ball. - I don't remember you saying that, and so, yes, I did. I gave you a full trigger warning, so concerning, you don't remember. - I wish, yeah, no, I remember another bit, because the other night I was reading it in bed, and there's a tragedy in this book. I won't say what it is. - Yes. - The tragedy happens, and I was like, gut wrenched. - Yes. - Then trying to fall asleep, and I was like, I can't sleep. - No, I stayed up till 4am, reading that book. - I don't want to read it now, the way you read it. - No, it's so good. - I mean, the good news. - So what's reviews are all over the place? - Our day, I haven't read them. So what's interesting about it is that it has the teen romance, and aspect at the beginning that kind of, you know, the summer I turned, pretty just kind of like, robsian, and then things turned, but it was such a good book. I love Chris and Hannah. She's just amazing author. - If you are a mother, it's a very hard book to read. - I had just given birth when I read it. - Oh, no. - I had no spoilers. - Well, it's basically just about, it focuses a lot on motherhood, and being a mom, and like, the feeling of raising kids, and yeah, I was just, yeah, I was growing on the train, and I was trying to hold it in, and the girl next to me, the girl next to me was making friendship bracelets, and I was crying. She had the craziest thing on her phone that like showed her exactly what she had to do, and she made the craziest friendship bracelets I've ever seen in my life, but she had like, but we had in real school, those kids of the yarn. - Yeah, those were really big after the era's tour. - Oh. - It was good to see you. (laughing) - Okay, no, I didn't know we needed to stop. - I didn't want to say in the 90s, I was like, yeah, they were. - Well, no, so the person next to me on the train was writing a book, and she was writing a book. - Yeah? - No, I didn't want to bother her. She was like really in it, I was looking over my, yeah. But then I felt extremely judged, because like I was doing some work things,
You know, it was checking it with Claude every now and then. And I felt like every time I opened Claude while she was writing a book, she was like staring me down, which I absolutely deserved. - Yeah, it makes me feel better. I'm also writing a book and I also use Claude. - Okay. - So it's okay. - You do go. - Can't you a girl that can do that? - Yeah, let's do that. - Can't you a girl that can do both, but you can do both. - Yeah, I am gonna email from a company that I'm working with. And my manager did give me a heads up there like FYI. This is an AI generated something response. It's just like every M-dash and it was like the, you know how AI speaks to you? It's like very specific. It's like, I really like the way you did that. But I didn't like this. - I think you know what? - It was like periods too. It'll be like a sentence and then like a word with a period. - Yeah, it was the weirdest email I was like. - Well done period. - Yeah, that's how you can tell if I've used AI because I was still bad with run-on sentences that if AI doesn't do that. - Oh, I run on like crazy. - Sometimes I read my Instagram stories and I'm like, "Am I okay? How many commas am I supposed to put in?" - Yeah, I was like, I use it to send my colon every now and then just to split up some sentences. - Yeah, I'm like, I just wrote a paragraph with absolutely no commas in it. I'm like, that's not good. No periods, no commas. - No, it's not AI. - Yeah. - Keeping you real. - It's my bad grammar. - Yeah, I was never good at punctuation. - No, I know how to end a sentence. - Well, and now look, that's it. - Do we need it? I don't know. Because I was reading about how now I think millennials are supposed to be the smartest generation in humanity. Because now generations are getting dimmer. - They're calling it post literate. - You see this? - No, but if you-- - If it wasn't. - You guys didn't watch any of the low-violin season, right? - No. - Okay, first of all, low-violin's a great show. The season was terrible. It just ended this weekend. Thank God. - Because I think they knew. They were like, we gotta wrap this up. The season is legitimately terrible. I'm gonna go back and catch up on UK 'cause US was just a total bust. But watching it, there is no literacy. Like, the words they are saying, like, they're saying epitome instead of epitome. - That girl. - Chahos, baby. - Chahos, she is. - What? It is pure chahos on love islands. Like, the words they are using. - I knew how to say chaos, though. Like, I just couldn't read it. - Well, that's the thing is like, the subtitles you would know was chaos, right? It's like, no, with the subtitles. I understand the British version better because I'm like, the words they're using, yeah, that it's so sad. - It's really, really sad. - It's really sad. - If you watch UK versus, like, the American version, I feel like it's just so different of how they speak. - Well, it's also city based, which I think makes it so interesting. - Yeah, I will never forget. - I mean, it's city based. - Love is blind. They do it by city. - Oh, oh, oh. - I think they get a different title. - Yeah. - Actually, I think the new love is blind is Boston. - Oh, is it? - The next one's coming out of Boston. - I can't wait. - They do casting in Boston. - The DC season was, the men were terrible. And it was so validating for all of us women, 'cause we're like, now you know it's not us. The men were terrible. - They've been like eight plus men and then it is. - And I agree, but the DC men were like, especially horrific. - Speaking of men and grammar, I have a, I don't remember much from middle school, but I do. - Are you okay? - She doesn't have much of anywhere. - Oh, I tell you that. It's like, at my therapist, she's like, "Ah, that's a trauma response." I'm like, "Okay." That's why we do EMDR. Anyways, I remember in middle school, like raising my hand and asking a question of-- - The way she's closing her eyes-- - I know, she really remembers. - She's a room, I don't remember my teacher's name, but I do remember he was an old white male. And I asked him, I'm like, "Why do we just automatically say, like, if you don't know, the gender like he in a sentence?" And he's like, "Because that's the way it is." I'll never forget that. Like, do you remember that? And grammar they taught you, like, to always default to he. - Not my school, girl. - Well, I don't even remember that chapter. I don't remember learning that. (laughs) - I don't remember when he comes. - Yeah, I checked out in this class. - He just, like, you know, misogyny and everything, sprinkling in there. - I don't do that anymore, but. - All the male teachers, no, actually, you know, in high school, I had male teachers. That, I feel like it's so interesting, 'cause teaching is a profession that is underpaid, heavily women, right? - Yeah, I have a lot of male teachers too. - But I had a lot of male teachers in high school. I didn't really have any up until high school. I got to high school, and my math teachers were all men. - The history teacher, actually. - The history was the football coach. - Was your history teacher the football coach? - No, but that's a classic. - Actually, yes. - Like, one of the sports coaches. - It's always a coach. - I think one, did you guys have like. - High school, I had that in college, really. - Yeah, we didn't have that in my school. - Stats, stats, stats, tricks. - I took Trick and Pre-Cal, it was a man, yeah. All my math classes were men. - All my math were women. - Interesting. - I don't have a lot of friends. - Women in grade eight. - I'm all over my school. - Yeah. - My school teachers, yes, those were women. - It was only my math teachers went on to, I believe, get divorced, I don't know, and marry his one of his previous students. So that's how my school was. And then another one was murdered. I don't know what was going on in my school. My school had a couple. We had a math teacher, female, only female math teacher, get arrested 'cause she was selling the kids cocaine. - Yeah, it was crazy. - They were trying to get a great job, sorry. - We got for you anyway, so. - Wait, cocaine is crazy. That did happen in my, that's a crazy one to sell. That happened. - That's a weird to sell the students. - In my high school, the Spanish teacher was also the manager of the Wawa, the local Wawa. Very small town, like we're all type situation. And a few classes below us, she went to a grad party, she got invited to a high school grad party and was shock hunting beers with the students. And of course, they took pictures and put on Snapchat. And then they were like, the next day they were like, we have to fire you. - Yeah. - You can't shock them with underage, what were you thinking? - What were you thinking? - Yeah, what, what are they thinking? - I don't know. - They were. - Yeah, Coke is crazy. I'm sorry. - Coke is wild. - That is crazy. - Only wild. - That's like the gateway. - And the high schoolers were doing Coke? - Yes. - Wow. - Yes. - Well, we were talking about this recently because you know those kids in high school, we were like, I'm worried for them. - Yeah. - And then some of them come out, okay, it's very sad. But someone was like, I really blame that math teacher. I think she got a lot of them addicted to drugs. - I mean, yeah, yeah, actually. - Was she younger? - So she was gone. She was arrested like two years before I got there. I'd never had her, but I never had her. But it was like the war. - You could be so different. - You could be my mom. - It would have been my mom. - You're my first offer. - My first offer, which is my math teacher. - No, so she was saying she's like a lot of people do blame her because she gave them access to something that otherwise didn't have access to them. - That is why I looked at her too, obviously. - I didn't see Coke in high school. I didn't know. - Yeah, that's crazy. - No, I didn't either, obviously. - I know. - I said before, but yeah. - We all had those teachers who were weird with students. I mean, it's such a gross thing that I feel like you always hear about movies like the creepy gym teacher or whatever, but I feel like there is legitimately always one of us. - There are always one. - Yeah, and you all know. - Speaking of drugs, I did audibly laugh at her face. It's so mortified. I audibly laughed out loud at your Instagram story last. - That was the night of the THC drinks. - And the taxi driver, one of her followers was like, you know this of THC of them, right? Because I think they thought you were drinking them and you didn't. - No, because on the first slide of the day, I said, happy Sunday or something like that. - Oh, we. - Today we're doing all these things and it was still the things we're doing. And I said, weed, but I'm like weeding the garden 'cause Matt was weeding. And I said, weed, and everybody goes, ha ha, weed. And I'm like, no, not like that. - It was weird that you said weed and not weeding. - I would weed the garden. - Yeah, but-- - In a way, it was like a list. - And it just said weed. - Okay, it isn't now. - Yeah, the car weeding. - The context was confusing. - I'm gonna go weed, I don't know. I just like, I just was, you know, it's so bad. - We were all like, pages getting crazy. - Yeah, using AI. - It's not using AI. And then yeah, everybody was like, hey girl. - Good. - Just so you know, 'cause then I was like, no, I don't even do weed. Then everybody's like, you just posted canned drinks. You know those have, and I was like, you know. - And those who listened to Justice Girls, the true jugs. - The jugs. - That it wasn't, it wasn't. - I wasn't consuming. - Yeah. - I'm just a gracious host. - You are. - Who likes to make sure everybody has what they need. - A lot of options. - That's what I hosted a Mojong party this Saturday. - So proud of you. - Thank you. - Your lessons are going well clearly. - Yeah, honestly, I really don't play that much. I just like, do you win? - I don't. - You know, I did win. I got my first Mojong, which was really exciting. - You got a Mojong if you win. That's what you say. I got a Mojong. - I'm pretty sure don't quote me on that. You say Mojong when you like. - Like, think of it. - Bingo. - Literally as you know, as Bingo. - I got my first Mojong, which was very exciting. But it was just like, the whole thing I love about it is like, we put our phones away. We talk, we gab, and it's, but it was so nice. The only thing I don't like about it is it starts late because we all do it post bedtime. So it started 7.30 and sometimes they'll go to midnight. People will play to midnight, which I don't like because it's a very cerebral game. So if I play to midnight, I go home. I can't fall asleep until 2 a.m. So, but I found the key to hosting an event at night and then people leaving early. - We drinks. - We drink. First of all, my entire was pajamas. So everybody had to wear a pajamas set. So you're in your comfy's, right? You're already thinking about bad. And then everybody was there. And I bought all these high news where everybody, you know, I was trying to be a gracious host even though I don't really drink. And I got there and everybody was like, where's the cans? They were like, where's, they sound like my apparel spritz thing and they were like, we want drinks. And it's funny, like, you have to be measured out. So I had to be very aware of when people were grabbing one, my one friend, Haley, just took it and like poured a bunch of it into a cup and I was like, Haley, no! 'Cause I think she was about to do the equivalent to like 20 milligrams in a drink. And I was like, girlfriend, like, you know. But I don't even remember why I started talking about this. - We were talking about cans. - Yes, but everybody, oh, so, yeah. They were in their pajamas. Everybody was drinking weed drinks at 10.30. Everyone was like, you know, I'm feeling cozy. This was a really fun day. I'm ready to go to sleep. And I was like, perfect. Everybody's out by like 10.45. - That's nice. - But it's nice. - My hack is that I just start my evenings very early. I'm like, hey, you've got, like me and my mom, friends will be like, we're gonna get a 4.30 dinner but we will not be home till 10.30. - Yes. - But we're out of your bed. - See, I just can't do that, like, bedtime with a 3. Yeah, we're like struggling with that right now. - Yeah, I'm going out. I feel like it's a little different. - Yeah, I'm posting and going out. - Oh, the second we're on our feet, you better believe I'm missing bedtime as much as I can. I'm like, can we schedule that earlier? So I can get out of here. - I feel like a bad mom every time I say that but I'm like, whatever I can miss bedtime I will.
Yeah, so hard no the four what we love to do a 4 p.m. date night because it's like you do like a happy hour We're not the Massachusetts. You don't do that. Yeah, we just good. Yeah, we do a happy hour situation And then we're home like right after the kids going to hang for a babysitter We used to like when we started getting babysitters We would pay for them and they were just literally putting our kids to bed. Yeah, and then sitting there and I'm like Yeah, why are we paying for this like what's let them do dinner in bath and all this stuff, you know, yeah? So I agree yeah, it's the best. It's the best and then you can go home and just relax and then have and watch some TV watch some TV Speaking of TV there's a lot of TV going on right now I mean nominations just came out and I want to talk about it because I need new TV shows to watch and I want to know It's worth it and I also was kind of surprised looking at the list. Did you guys see I mean I'm at all No, you briefly mentioned it and I did a quick goog and I was like Katie will be our gal today. Wait are you guys are you guys watching anything right now? I am watching a lot of things I I weirdly watch a lot of TV but like it's really just like one episode a night But then I like you know power through I'm finishing up hacks I have three episodes left of the final season.

Just as chill goes up my spine It's like no, I want nothing to do with this. I want to go to sleep today peacefully. Yeah, I mean the first Season was good. A lot of yelling. Yeah, they're all yelling at each other It kind of continues that way, but it's it's very different. It's really good though Yeah, I think I think it kind of fizzled towards the end like I didn't even know the final season was out Okay, yeah, I didn't hear there was like no marketing for it really. Yeah, that's how I thought about Miss Maisel Did you guys ever watch love? I love you. I've been sold out on the last season and I like forget it It's out there. Was that prime? That was like what a prize for shows. I have such a good show. It was so good Actress was fantastic. I mean the perfect thing about the yeah, I just I'm annoyed because like I'm so I just start watching big brother Which I'm a big brother stand. I'm a super fan Okay, I know you guys don't watch it. So I'm just gonna have to find my community online Yeah, I mean that's what's been going on for decades and this for a reason they're life heat You know about the life eats you can literally go online anytime and watch the people in the big brother house creepy And yeah, it's it is and you know what only one season did I ever watch it? It was my first season. I got so sucked into it and my husband came home from work And I was like watching the live feeds and he just like turn it off. Give me the remote. Yeah, he gave me like an intervention Yeah, yeah, but I don't know. It's a very good show And then they they edit it and the production is very different the kind of like what's on the live feed So it's kind of like two different shows going on there's like an online community and then there's like the public facing Anyways, I'm shrinking. Yes, you love shrinking. I just like I'm depressed that it there's not The new season out, but anyways, okay, so let's talk about Emmys Because I think there was a lot of chatter online. Okay, first of all, can we guess the top nominated show? He did rivalry No, we'll talk about that though. Okay He did rivalry rival over. You got no nominations Wow, it's a Canadian production so technically Which then made me laugh because I wonder if they thought like oh, we're not even gonna worry about the Emmys and do it on Canada Because they didn't think it would be Funding well, that's kind of how shit's Creek was they did it in Canada didn't have the funding weren't big and then it got They and I thought with heated rivalry what it aired first in Canada and the most picked up a HBO Is that not true? I thought there was something like that where I would be like four Canada and then was Bought the rights by HBO that could make more sense because a big game is saying yes Yeah, yeah, I was yeah, I thought there was like a whole arc where it's like we have no money Yeah, they pitched it and I think everyone turned it down They're gonna watch this I watched it every one I was having to talk about it at a five-year-old birthday party So if you do watch it, I was like yes, but Best you have to get through the first two episodes that quite graphic and then once you do that's like have you guys ever watched money Heist like acid a papel. No. Oh my gosh. You need to watch one of the best Netflix shows So money heists it's about a bank robbery, but so it originally was I don't remember what network in Spain and then They're subtitles. Yes, you can't but you can do so yeah, you should do subtitles don't do the dubbing because the dubbing is really bad But it their contract Negotiations just kind of fizzled out so Netflix was able to pick it up and when I tell you I've like all the shows I've watched in Netflix definitely maybe top three. It is so so good I cannot recommend it. I can't watch a lot of Subtitles shows despite the fact that I want to because my dyslexic husband is like this is hard for me I get that he's like no, but he's like I want to watch this. He's like, yeah, it's really hard for him to like you can watch you should watch it without him If he's I mean watching hacks without him, which is why it's taking me 17 months Yeah, in addition to a book club I think we need like a show that we're all watching with the drug community. Yeah, that would be good Will we still need to pick a book? I know I can just read night road and then we can yeah, but it came out so long ago. No, it doesn't mean you can't read it Okay, anyways back to the ammunition Did we guess the most top? I think you're over it. That's where we go the pen always back to the pit on this podcast We love the pit here. So it has 25 nominations Wow including outstanding drama series and lead actor you both watch the pit. Oh, yes, okay, you haven't watched the pit I haven't watched the pit. Oh my gosh. It's so good. I don't know Pittsburgh. Is it? It's something they call it What was the word that you were you saying a devil? I don't know unless there's some sort of tax incentive I don't believe so you be you be surprised they might there might be But maybe we should look bad. I said no. No, where did I film Patrick ball actually record you? Oh really he's on maybe he can be our guest Is he one of the actors or one of the director? I'm gonna spoil the pit for you guys. So I'm not gonna say she's fine. I don't care It's her mom. He's gonna go out fired in the first season. Yes for doing drugs. Oh, yeah Yeah, he's like we went to L.I. or no Vancouver. Maybe That's where off campus is now filming in Vancouver. Everybody. Yeah, why does everyone is Vancouver at Liana? Yeah, yes So that's it's all about tax. Yeah, tax. Yeah, say it will fight and say like we'll give you these taps Yeah, because why are you gonna film an L.I. in New York? You know when they're filming I learned this when I lived in L.I. which I never knew and now I see it all over Boston because they film in Boston a lot too Are those little yellow signs that always have a word about whatever for the crew or the staff to follow? Yeah, we had a studio at like on our Netflix campus and What's his name? Jack Shepherd almost hit me with this car Well, that's not surprising. He the way he drives sounds reckless. It was it was and he didn't care He just kept going and we were all like you're fine. Okay. Yeah Not to make any judgments. Maybe he was having a bad day anyways. Yes, the pit is the top with 25 nominations and then Coming close in second with 24 hacks. Yeah, I was on the top. You better finish it. I will start Hacks is so good. That could be my travel show We were watching I was watching it the other day and Matt came home and he was like a good truth What is the show he's like it is crazy. Yeah, it is kind of crazy. It like takes you in quite the journey every season But it's just so good. So they broke a all-time record for comedy series in a single year Oh, yeah, seasons are there. This is the last one right five It's great. See I like starting a show that I can commit. It's not like getting emotionally attached It's like eight to ten episodes. It's so they're not long they're quick Yeah, the seasons are very very long. Yeah, and like I think this one. It's like the last three or like 38 minutes Then the last one's like an hour You know, I'd give you a little bit. Okay, and then I'll just give you the next is widow's bag On Apple TV. I've been seeing this everywhere. I have not watched. I don't know what it's about. Yeah, I don't know I don't know. Oh, here we go. It's about my cup game It's really good. Okay, so we should watch it. Did you watch it? I watched the last four episodes I know it sounds weird, but I watched the last four episodes With my girlfriend and her parents and like it was really those last four episodes are really good Okay, okay. Who's like the main star? Do we know actresses? Recognizable? No, so I'm gonna say I like that because then you're not like thinking of them as like I also feel like Apple TV Is like a really premium brand when it comes to content. Yeah, like they don't have a lot But when they have something it's right. It's high-brow Morning show really fell off, but the morning show that had me say I didn't finish it either because it fell off Yeah, but I love obviously all that the first season was so good. Yeah, I think Steve Carell was a really good cast Matt Lauer allegedly. Yeah, I'm not Lauer and I just don't use to seeing him in that kind of role That's a good act Four seasons, do you guys watch that? I just watch the season. Yes. I like season one way better But he wasn't in season two, right? He he makes small appearances because they do Flax. Oh, sorry. I He's dead There was a lot of flashbacks. Okay dies in like every show does he? morning show I just always think of crazy stupid love and you know how I know that I am getting old Because I watch crazy stupid love again and it was the first time where he ever had his makeover and I was like wow He's really good looking now and I was like oh my god I was like it used to be like Ryan Gosling was so hot and then I was like I have passed the threshold. We're now like the dad characters hot But Steve Carell, I think is objectively good looking like his salt But I mean yeah, but I mean the makeover is really good and crazy stupid but like he is a he is a loser. Weeb and
And then he is like-- - Yeah, from the new balances. - Peppin' like swag. - Yeah. - Yes. - Yes. - So that was scary. - I don't really love her. - All right, so Widow's Bay, Pluribus, which I also-- - I couldn't watch that. - What is it? - It was just very, it reminds me a little bit of Severance, where it's like, what's in there? - I love Severance too. - I love Severance too, but that one felt a little bit a step too far from me. - You guys, would you, if getting Severed was a thing-- - No, it wouldn't not get severed. - In any situation. - I don't think so. That seemed really scary. - I don't know, I know like everybody was like, that's so dark that they do it for pregnancy. I'm like, I might get pregnant. - So I did, oh no, you're one of those people? - Yeah, I did. I genuinely didn't mind it. I liked it. I mean, I hated giving birth. - See, on the opposite, I would give birth 8,000 times. Well, you also had a traumatic, it's very. - I had two very traumatic ones. I just, I mean, I forgot them already. I mean, they don't feel traumatic anymore. - I think you forget. - But pregnancy, I enjoyed, and I, but I also knock on wood, I'm like a very easy pregnancy. - Yeah, I was throwing up the whole time. - I wasn't throwing up, but I still, like. - They were like, girl, you gave it a lot of weight in the first trimester. I was so hungry. I felt fantastic, and I ate a lot. - Okay, well, the week gaining, like, rules, or. - I know, you're gonna show me. - Yeah, I did eat a lot. - It was good. - Okay, dietitian. Settle down. - It was cool. - I gained like 50 to 60 pounds. - Three of them. - Yeah, it was my first. I didn't know it was my second, but it was my first. - Yeah. - Yeah, I was feeling great. - It's okay for anybody else. - That is okay. - And that is okay. - Yeah, I'm still on my, you know, I'm still in my post-partum phase. - Me too. - We can only all laugh. - Your post-partum for life. - But you are. - You're always post-partum and post-literate. (laughing) - That just seemed like a break just to be all off, so hard, but it's not. - Okay, all right. Plurbus, beef season two on Netflix. - Okay, so did you watch beef? - No, beef. - I didn't watch beef. - What? - It's a mind-fought. - Okay. - And then of beef, we were watching with our mouths hanging out. - Can you give me context? - Yeah, give us the-- - It's really hard, too. It was, it was really graphic at the end. There was like some violence that happened. Honestly, just thinking about it as freaking me out. - What's the point? - It was like, okay, at the very beginning, I believe, if I'm remembering correctly, there was like a hit and run kind of situation or something. - I remember that. - And Alley Wong, and I forgot the other guy's name. She's very rich. And then the other, oh, game remembers his name. - Steven Young. - You're really, I love this. I love that he does. - We can just, he's our Google. - Yeah, you're Google. - You're my Google. So, and she's like mad at him, and he's trying to get back at her. And then like, it's a whole, it's like a beef. They have beef. - Oh, that's where a beef is. - I wonder if it's not like a red beef situation. - No, but she's this like undisanged, very wealthy. I can't remember if she was like a galarist or like, she had an art game looking at me. - Like what? - She liked me pottery, that's what-- - Yeah, she, she was an artist. But she was very, very wealthy. She had a daughter husband, I think he would stay at home and then they had a beef. The end was really crazy. Like the very end was really crazy. And I remember being like, this gave me anxiety before it stressed me out. So when I saw beef season two was out, I didn't clock in for it. And also it's one of those shows that every season is a different cast, like a different season. - Okay, that's about to ask. - That's why it's not this big. - Yeah, the white, yeah, except for, what's the name Jennifer Coolidge. (laughing) She's the Harry, she's the thread. Yeah, so it's a different cast. So maybe I would tune in, but that first season really fucked me up. - I love Alley Wong. - I was gonna say, does Alley Wong typically do like acting in that way? Was that what it was? - So she, usually what will happen is like, with Netflix she'll do like long term partnerships and like, will do a few comedy specials and then you're gonna be in a few of these shows. And it's like more of like a package feel, kind of with a brand of Alley Wong rather than just like a Wong. - It was not a comedic, I mean it was like, it was a dark comedy situation. It's like a certain point to where it was very funny, but it was mostly just that. - Her standup when she's like super fucking pregnant is amazing. - The first standup special is like the most, one of the most iconic standup specials I've ever seen. - It wasn't her pregnancy one, though. - I thought she was pregnant in both of them. - Oh was she, I don't. - It's the one where she was like leaning and I don't want to lean in, I want to lay down. - Yeah. - Yeah, like that, it's iconic. It's tough to watch back that because she talks so much about like making fun of her and her husband's marriage and now they're divorced, but that's a half of what John Malini, too. - Yeah, that one was messy. - Oh my gosh, their baby was born on my birthday. Like John Malini is a fair baby. I'm like, I'm really very happy to. - Now he's with Olivia Munn. - I don't know if they're married, but they are together. - I want to say that. - She's a second. - Yes. - Yes. - I don't blame her. - I just, you never blame her. - Yes. - No, yeah. - But with the way he and his marriage seemed allegedly a little like he. - No, there was definitely. - Allegedly. - No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. All alleged, all alleged. He kind of like almost refers to it in his latest standup special. But he talks a lot about the drug use. - I was kind of skipped over the alleged affair. - Definitely. - Yeah. Anyways, so there's beef. Okay, let's talk a little bit like of the snubs that people are upset about. So he to robbery, first of all, not nominated for any, because of the Canada. - So not to be a snub in Canada. - Yes, it's technicality. - Love story. So there were some nominations there. JFK Jr. wasn't nominated. But I read that and I was an actor. - The actor of the JFK Jr. - Yeah, did you watch the show? - It was a terrible act. - Yeah. - I mean, I don't know if I think Carolyn Bessette was a good actress, or if I just like, she played the part really well. - She did, but yeah. - I don't know if like, skill wise. - This reminds me though of like a summer, I turned pretty, it's an off campus where it's like, you know what you're signing up for with the acting. - Yeah, the fact that it got any Emmy nominees. - I'm like, where's Belly's Emmy? You know what I mean? - Where's Belly's Emmy? - Yeah, where's Conrad's Emmy? Jeremiah? - I love Jeremiah. - Oh, I did. - I can't, you were such a Jeremiah saying that only. - What is that movie coming out speaking of? - Oh, right. - They've really fumbled that marketing. It should have been right away. They should have filmed it. It should have been a Christmas relief. - It does, filming. - Is it? - Yeah. - I saw that when they were filming, there were massive crowds everywhere. - Yeah. - They should have just filmed it all at once. I think that was a mess on the marketing side. So yeah, that hadn't had some nominations, which I mean, I would be thankful I got any for that show. - I didn't finish that show. - Yeah. - I watched like three episodes and I was like, I'm out. - Yeah, I think it got kind of boring at the end. - Yeah, and not for nothing. - I heard the story before. - Yeah. - I dropped off after Princess Diana died. Even though she was a part of the story, it just became like part of the plot line. - She decided to grow up. - I love Princess Diana. - I did watch every season of The Crown back in the day. - The Crown. - Oh good. - So good. - Such a good diet. - Not to nabby. - I re-watch The Crown, like what's in my arm? - This is the one. - Down to nabby is one of the best show I've ever made. - It is so good. - It is so good. - Yes. - Special they release. - Did you ever watch the tutors? - No. - People can't tell you to watch The Guilded Age. Have you watched The Guilded Age? - I haven't. - People have been watching The Crown. - Every season. - Every time you watch The Crown. - Bailey. - Bailey. - John Bailey. - He ended up having the career I think that um. - He loved him. - What was wrong? From the first season. What was the duke's name? - Guys. - What's his real name? - We don't know men. - After who left? - Yeah. - The one who was with Phoebe? - Yeah. - I don't know. - I mean, I'm trying to be immersed in the story. Not who the heck. - No, I know. But he left because I think he thought he was too big for the bridges. - And then where is he now? - Exactly. - I don't think I've seen him in any time. - And John Bailey is living, I think, the life he thought he was going to live. - And then he deserves. - John Bailey, wicked, I feel like in particular. If you were part of that wicked franchise, like you are, you're in it. - You're set. - Yeah, there's a lot. - Ariana Grande broke up with a guy from wicked. What's his name? Um, even later? - Yeah, he's, I think he's from my hometown. - He? - The story of how he left his. - The story line with the postpartum. - That's terrible. - And she released the article. - Yeah. - Wait, I didn't read that. - She released an article like after a win public about the first year. - Ethan Slater's ex-wife. - Yeah, she was finally experienced. - And also, did he follow Ariana Grande's track? Like, what did he think was going to happen? They were going to stay together forever and be happily. - They were together for years, which is interesting. But at the same time, it's just like one of those things. You just had a baby with this woman. You've been with her for 10 years. Now, it's not the time. - Yeah, no. - If you love Ariana Grande, keep that inside for a little while. - Yeah. - Yeah, I don't know. Again, I don't blame Ariana necessarily, but I just think that was the. - I don't either, but like, you know that he has a baby at home. - He's the only one left his wife. - I'm so angry for her. - Yeah, it was. - And did she move over like a broad with him, right? - She didn't stay back with the baby. - Whenever you're married to somebody like that, and actor or somebody goes a career like that, your life basically goes unpause. - Yeah. - 'Cause what was he? Wasn't he spongebob on Broadway? - Yeah. - Freakin' spongebob on Broadway. - I didn't see people like pulling up his old stuff. - You know what, you cheated on her? You were spongebob. - That's how you know, like, that's always happens though. Shickets weird with like the people, like when you're in musicals, - Theater, theater. - The theater. - The theater. - The craziest. - Theater kids were going blue. - That is one thing, like, I was an athlete, but I was also a theater. - Me too. - And the theater. - Yeah. - Like what was going on. - And sexual. - Yeah.
and I feel like they were just more in touch with their emotions. - A lot of touching, every was touching. - Yeah, because you were maybe making up in a scene so you could be like, "Oh, our characters were kissing, "but then that caused the thing." - That happened to me. - That happened to me. Somebody I dated was in musical production. - You're not saying, "I was dating." - Had no idea he was supposed to kiss another lead. Found out. - I'll tell you. - The hard way. - Do you watch that? - Were you in the theater? - We're not together. I wasn't there that night. They only kissed one night. And it wasn't there. - Why would they like kiss one night? - Yeah, 'cause maybe he was like, "Oh, my girlfriend's gonna be here, "but we're not, it's not doing it." They did it when I wasn't there. And then people were talking about it. And I was like, "What? "It's not crazy." - I mean, if it's part of the role, fine. But it's like, you tell me. - It's also like it's a high school drama. Does anybody really need to kiss? - I know, the, the, the, it's kind of weird. - The age part of it too. - Yeah, when you put it in-- - And they know that they're six feet in. - Yeah, they don't need to be doing that there. - Yeah. - Okay. - What were we talking about? - We, the John, John Bailey of it all. - The job, all gone. - Yeah. Us there, through the lake. - Big job, the lazy. - Oh, they just, it was in the jobs. - The jobs, the alley, the alley wall. - alley wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall wall. - That's how we were talking about beef. - Beef. - Okay. - You were giving us the snubs. He did rattling. - Okay, he did rattling. Stranger things was. - I did not enjoy the last season. I did like it. - So, - Hey, I definitely wrote it, right? Like, I mean, the plot, the fact that they shared pictures where like chat GBT was up on the screen. You didn't see those. - No, no. - They shared all these like behind the scene pictures. And in one of them, there's, visibly a tab with chat GBT open. And it's like, it was just so funny, because yeah, I worked on the first few seasons of Stranger Things, so it has a really big place in my heart. I tend to give it the benefit of that out. It's like trying to see through the swifty eyes, right? And like, try to look at it objectively. And I feel like when Stranger Things was going on online, like there were all these TikTok theories. Like, no, they messed up this plot line because, like, it's not a plot hole. It's because this is gonna happen. And no, it was just bad writing. And there were a lot of plot holes. But I enjoyed it from like a immersive, it was fun to watch. I love that they did it on like new years. I thought that was a fun thing. - I thought it was really fun. And I will say, like, first it was season one, season two, fantastic. And then what was it, three, four? What happened? - I thought, four. - Yeah, the third season lost me for a while. I was like, I thought, yeah. But the fourth season brought me up. Was it five or four? Four. For Stranger Things games? - It was like stress. It's not cool. It's like, five. - Let me just associate it. Can't listen to you guys talk. - I think it's watching the characters grow up, too. - Yes. - I think it was when I like her. - Oh yeah. Five, right? Four, season four was so good. - Is that couple still together? They were together on the show. - Yes. - No, they're not. - They broke up? - They broke up, that's what it said. I mean, once you're off the show though, it's like, you don't spend your whole life. - And then what's her name was the voice of anxiety and insight out the one older. - My hog. - Thank you. I love this thing. - My hog. - It's like, let me give you me. - My hog, I love her. - Yes, her character's amazing. - I love city sync. I didn't really, she was, I should have known, she was even hoxed on her, like just like, - And she's the voice of anxiety and insight out, too. - I like her. - And I love her. - What a good movie. - 'Cause she was on Good Hang with Amy Poehler, gonna plug it in every episode, but I'm obsessed with like her origin story. - Yeah, she's okay. - Well, not origin story, so let me help you, baby. - Well, just like how she came to be. - But she's one of the good ones. - I feel like. - For sure, but if your parents are-- - In the industry, I think. - 100%. - Totally. - It's so different than having a true origin story. - Who was it? - Like, I don't want to start beef with the Kardashians. Was it like Kendall Jenner or something? That was like modeling is actually harder for me. Because I have to fight through the stigma of being a Kardashian and it's like girlfriend. I thought, I saw an interview with Gracie Abrams and I think she did a pretty good job. - I mean, she was a nipple, baby. - Oh my gosh, her dad. - You're a Star Wars guy, right? - Oh my god, why am I blinking on that? - See, I did the same thing. - Because this isn't your job game. (laughing) - She's an interviewer. - I know, whatever it is. - No, it's not a job. - I don't know, I don't know. - JJ Abrams. - JJ Abrams. - Yeah. - Apatow's daughter is also an actress. - Mom. - Yeah, mom. - Not Apatow's. She's also a great actress. They're good at their jobs. - Yeah, 'cause they grow up in the industry and on set. - It's the same as being a professional athlete when your parents are a professional athlete. - Yeah, you get access to coaches when you're young that other people don't get. - The people are just cheating you like the TV 12 diet. - Yeah, and the kids have never had to make it. - Yeah, the combos, you're hearing about contracts and whatever, it's like, it's just a different set of skills. - Yeah. - So Stranger Things was a snub, what else? - Let's see. Nobody want this. Nobody wants this. - I don't have a snub, I think that's an obvious does not deserve enough. - So what was weird about it was that the series got nominated but Kristen Bell and Anna Brody did not, which normally doesn't happen. - I think season two was a second worst than season one. - I mean, it was the same plot line, I feel like. - It was literally, it was like, they just ran it back. - Yeah, do it again. - Yeah. - Do they already film season three, right? - I just assumed so, I'm not sure. - I love the actress who plays the sister. That's my favorite. Like if I'm gonna pick somebody. - She's the best. - The podcast of it all is really fun to watch. - That's funny. - Yeah, I think we haven't watched it. - It's sweet. - Yeah. - It's my podcast. But, so it was just, we are the leading, the leads to getting nominations. - Yeah. - I just love having Anna Brody back on my screen. - Yeah. - It just, that makes me feel whole. - Yeah. - And then Euphoria, a lot of snubs, but once again. - I never watched it. - I did, I watched every season but this one. I watched the first five minutes and I was okay. - I've never watched anything and I walked into the season finale and I was like, ooh, it's something's done. And I like, Matt's trying to explain it to me. He's like, well, she was trying to leave the drug lords and this, and I was like, you know what I mean. - It was a very depressioning show. Like I remember the water cooler talk on Monday morning was always like, well, I'm in a weird mood now because Euphoria maybe feel weird about me. - For me, I was like, isn't this about high schoolers? Why are there so, why is there so many like drug lords and what, like, what's happening? - Maybe the teachers are offering coals. - They're doing coals. - You know, maybe that's what it was. And her tell was in the high school, it's got to. - But it was also LA based. So I feel like what I love there, it was very, but it was also four years in between every season. It's like, I can't. - And all the stars became too big to care about actually promoting Euphoria. - But also once again, and I think allegedly, then Daya had some issues with like the show, I think the showrunner or one of the lead guys, I think it's not allegedly a great person, but said Daya finished her role and like, followed through on it, which I really admire about. - This is always what that, you know when a show kind of goes off, people will be like, well, they got a new showrunner. - Yeah. - And now the show's terrible. That was with Dexter. Everybody kept being like after this. - Oh, I loved it. - I got a new showrunner, and then it was bad. - Yeah, the end of Dexter. - I mean. - And get the idea of it, but I've never watched it. - Yeah, but I think Zendaya got a nomination for her acting, but Euphoria as a whole, I think got snubbed. Which honestly, I prefer it that way. - Yeah, I love that. - I prefer like flowers. - Oh my gosh, the Odyssey comes out on Friday. - Oh yeah. - Cannot wait. I'm so excited. - What's in the hope? - Yeah, you. - Did you not read the Odyssey? And like-- - Oh, it's about that. (laughing) - I mean-- - I didn't know if you were being sarcastic. - That's why I responded to that. - I saw a picture and they're like, "Zendaya's a look for the Odyssey premier." So I was like, "Oh, the Odyssey." I did have not seen a trailer. - Okay, all right. - Okay, I am excited to talk to you about it then. I thought that was a sarcastic question. - No, that was like a dead series. - No, it's coming to theaters. It's a huge thing. It's Christopher Nolan. - Okay. - So have you, you didn't read the Iliant in the Odyssey in school? - Yes, I did. - You did read it. - So you do know the Odyssey? - No, I do, but I didn't-- Just because it was called the Odyssey, I didn't know it was the same Odyssey. I thought it could just be any Odyssey. - Okay, that's fair. I think, and then I think they're relying a lot on just being the Odyssey, Christopher Nolan, and such, they haven't done a ton of lead up marketing wise. I think so, I don't think you're to be blamed for that. - Thank you. - It's not on my out-go. - But it's on my out-go. It's all over my out-go. I love the Odyssey. Did you see Troy? - No. - No. - It's not my genre, okay? - See, it's my genre up and down. - You're just TV-movie genre, like you know-- - I love history, I love things like this. Like I just discovered this podcast called Hot History. Amazing. She goes through different historical, I very much enjoy it. I also watched this other really good podcast that tells you the behind-the-scenes of all the presidents and like crazy shit they were doing in the White House and like the drugs they were on. - Can't wait to hear from this. - It was really fine. - But so yeah, the Odyssey comes out this Friday and I'm very excited and dies in it. So is Tom Holland, how fun is that? I was just watching an interview where, so Tom Holland is Telomakis, which is like one of the main characters and so he was doing a script read at home with Sendaya, which I guess is the kind of like, quote unquote illegal, like they're not supposed to do that. He got a special slip where Christopher Nolan said you can take the script home and read it. So Sendaya was reading it with him. First of all, iconic, just like so iconic. And then I guess he accepted the role and Christopher Nolan was like, I don't want to be weird. I don't want this to make you feel weird but can Sendaya be Athena? And so he got to go home and be like, he wants you to be Athena. So they're in it together. - Yeah. - Yeah. - They were just on good hang as well. - They were? - Yeah. - Together. - Tom, sorry, Tom was. - Oh. - And that's how it's found out when people were speaking to her. - I didn't know that. - Well because we're very quiet. - Yeah. - They're very low key. That's what the whole conversation was like, "Why is Taylor Swift doing this massive things?" And Diane Tom got married in secret. Why can't she be like that? - Because she doesn't want to be. - Because she wants a party. - Because a woman can want what a woman wants. We want different things. - Yes. - But yeah, so that comes out this Friday. And it's a powerhouse cast, so I would check it out. - Okay. - Yeah, we'll check it out. - Okay, so we're gonna have to work on our TV list. - Yes. - Move M movies. - In book. - And so many notes in the notes. - Yeah, we have to do that. We're gonna have to get lunch after this and guys they really want to have a salad. - No. - I know. - Yeah. - This whole parasite thing. Which I didn't realize until my TikTok and I'll go out and start showing people partying like, "Oh, it wouldn't be that bad." I do have, sorry, I just shouldn't think. - 15 pounds to use it, but there'd be a girl like looking at this. - What? - Yeah. - But I was like, "What is everybody looking at this?" And then my sister was like, "Oh, page, don't buy the produce." I was like, "What do you mean don't buy the produce?" And she said there's a parasite. - There's a parasite coming for us. - I had no idea. - Yeah. - My kids were eating a lot of produce this weekend. - Oh my God. - I want the summer months, the cases of this normally rise. So it should not be alarmed. It is going up more and they're not absolutely reporting, so that's what I'm scared is happening. - Yeah, I'm scared.
if you cook your fruits in vegetables, like if you're, if you're-- - But you don't cook a lot. - I don't cook a lot for everybody. - No, no, I get that. But if you're cooking anything up to 150 degrees, it's gonna kill the parasite. If you do dried fruits, if you do freeze dried fruits, like those are some ways. - So how long until we can eat strawberry? - Well, I mean, I have blueberries. It's smart. You're gonna be okay. I did you see I sent you guys the post office and I was like, well, I'm not gonna know if I have the parasite because diarrhea is just common, whether it is sick, it is just totally. - Between the stomach bugs from daycare, between the amount of ice coffee I drank. - Well, I think that's what everybody is actually joking about that. - And it also does an own set for up to two weeks. - Yeah, you're gonna put a no if you don't know if you get it or not. - Yeah. - I just, all the reports are like, "Explosive diarrhea." - Yeah, but like, I love that. - That's an Aaron partisan, like, breaking news and he's like, "Explosive diarrhea." - But to your point, that is like a Tuesday for a S.I.B.S. girl, he's like, "You really don't know." - I could mean that. - That's not me. - You have girls. - You're like, "Oh, no, Tuesday." - Yeah, it's coming up. - Oh man, you have heard. - Always having to know where the toilet is. Like, that's my middle name. Like, it's no different. - I have an anxious belly, you know? - Have you always ever had a parasite? - I don't think so. - How do I know? - I think my husband did in high school. He was very ill. - Travelers diarrhea is another thing that people get all the time. Like, if you've gone to a foreign country, and you come home-- - Say you're just going to Mexico and he came home and he was really not-- - Oh, people like get, a lot of E. coli popping around there. But when I came back from the Dominican Republic, my senior year of college, ooh. - Bad, bad. - But how do you know if it's a parasite? - Well, they just kind of, like, you get to a point where when you're shitting so much, they're just going to call it a parasite and they're going to give you the proper antibiotics because, like, they don't actually, yeah. So I guess I didn't know. When I had a parasite, that's a lie. But, yeah, don't recommend. 10 out of 10, don't recommend. So, no, we're going to skip south. - Wait, so how long? So, I can't eat any fresh produce. - You can. - You definitely don't want to? Yeah, and they say, like, washing it can help, but it definitely does it. - They said it doesn't kill it. - Yeah, they said nothing's killing it. - Yeah, this is true. - All my kids want is berries. - Yeah. - What about bananas? - Mm. - It's simply more kind of-- - Oh, they're rapaces and the berries. - I mean, I don't eat bananas, 'cause you're not in as our-- - What if I like, apple, what if I like peel the apple? Is it living on the skin? - Or in tight. - Inside. - It's good. That would help a little bit. But, like, a banana could have be safer than our pineapple safe. - It can't help. - What is the thick fruit? - I'm very nervous right now. But here's thing, my husband's similarly, I feel like if I was like, he wouldn't know, because literally he's like, page, my stomach is always in a bad state. - Me and Matt are the same. Like, if Luke gets diarrhea, it's the end of the world when I have diarrhea, I'm like, that's a Tuesday. - Well, that's 'cause-- - Well, also, it's just women. - And we bleed for a week, and we just are walking through dancing through life, and you wouldn't even know. - Like, you know? - It's like, yeah, I'm gonna shut my pants and then keep going to pick up. 'Cause that's just what you get down to. - Yeah, you don't have to. - So, no salads. - No smoothies. - No frozen berries, you think. - It's just sad because they can be dried. - They can be flash frozen from like-- - What does that mean? - So, when things are frozen, like, they flash freeze them. The only ingredient is the fruit itself. They're probably frozen from months ago, where, like, before this outbreak is served. - And it's not how they're the originists. - Yeah, and our current administration isn't tracking, like, properly, or they cut funding with certain things. - It's a bummer. - It's a bummer, so. - I saw a post that was like, this is how RFK Jr. gets everyone to be a carnivore. Where it was like, this is how he's-- - I don't really eat these. - It's like, what do I eat? - Yeah. - Pasta. - Yeah. - We can do freeze dried. We can do dried fruits. We can do cooked stretch devours. - Yeah, that kind of gets you, doesn't that, like, streak a lot of water. - I do like the dried mango. The sweetened version. - Oh, no, the sweetened version is too much. - Oh, yeah, sweetened. - It's a sugar. - We even need it sweetened. - I don't know. - The Trader Joe's just-- - I have, like, for the solely mango jerky that I've sold. - Well, we, like, fight over that right now. - Oh, my God, we call it mango jerky. It's like, it's not really, I don't know. - It kind of looks like it, but it's the packaging of it all. - It's a brand. - All right, well, we need to get lunch, but we don't want that. - No parasites. - Yeah, no parasites. Katie and I are wearing white. So we get the parasites. - We get to the train back. - I'm gonna be on public trains, oh my gosh. - Oh my gosh, shaking on the train, sweating bullets. Oh my gosh, I've never was just thinking about it. - I was just saying what just happened. - We got a lot more to say, but we gotta go. - Okay, bye. - Bye. - Thank you so much for listening to the Just Us Girls podcast.
