The Snack: Kelly Clarkson, Spooky New Shows, and STD WTF

This week on The Snack, Kelly Clarkson controversy, sexually transmitted diarrhea, and officiating your ex's wedding. This is a Dear Media production. Just leave it. Hi guys. Hi. There's a lot going on. This was like a snack where we are recording a little earlier than normal. And so we were like, are we going to have all the topics? Are we going to have enough to talk about? A lot is going on. I'm excited about this one. I know. It's just like fun and light. I mean, terrible things are happening too. You know, it's still America, but. I would say the most terrible. I would say the most. I'm leaving America this week. I can't wait to get out of here. Oh my gosh. Maybe I'll never come back. Okay. Well, yeah. Get tickets to Reina's shows. Oh yeah. I'll see you guys on Saturday night in London. But Ashley, this is like the last two days of peace I have before I am never home for like a month and a half. That's October, baby. Why do we do this to ourselves? Every October and May, we're just like, I'm never home. I'm never home. I'm never home. I'm never going to be home. So I will be home. I leave Wednesday. I'm gone until Monday. I'm home for a day and a half. I go to Buffalo. I'm gone back for a day. I go to LA. And then we're going to be together. Ashley, this is by far the longest I've been away from you. It's crazy. Do you feel it? Yeah, I feel sad. Do you feel it? I mean, we just talk so much. It's hard. I can't tell. But you know what? I will say, I have been missing girl time. Like, I've realized it. I just feel like people have been out of town. And I did go out with the girls and went to a concert. This past weekend. And I feel like it was much overdue. Like, I was out with Shashank having drinks. And like, there was a group of like five or six girls also there. Just being loud and being crazy and talking about stuff. And I was like, I am jealous. Like, I just really miss it. I really have not. I don't know. I mean, you're gone. And you and I would kind of get a group together. And it just hasn't really felt like that. And I have really felt a void there. And just like girl time. And I feel like that's all you're doing. Women are so special. But I am. I am without. I am without Foster Dog right now. It feels very peaceful. It's a good week. We are moving this week. As you guys listen, we are probably in the midst of our move. So we're moving on the 15th. So stay tuned. Watch this space for more about that. Okay. Well, you guys, we have a great episode.

Okay. So we are going to kick it off with a what the fuck report because it has just been an avalanche of what the fuck. None of these three things we're going to talk about are really having a correlation besides that. Besides the sheer. What the fuck reaction they all incited. Do you think somebody is going to be like, I take umbrage? None of these are related in any way. Relate them. Try it. Drop in the comments. So there is a bacteria that is creating diarrhea that is sexually transmitted on the rise. And I would just like to start off by saying the bacteria is it's called Shigella. It's it sounds so delightful. Shigella. It really does. Sounds Yiddish dance move from the 70s doing the Shigella doing the Shigella like a little more sugar. Nah, you know, yeah, delightful, but it's transmitted through the mouth, but it is transmitted from poop particles. So I mean, think like ass to mouth. Oh my God. So are you only affected if you're eating ass or if you're dabbing butt sex straight into oral? So ass to mouth. Don't. Nobody's doing that. And that's not kink shaming. I don't think that's happening just for sanitary reasons. So I say this in one of my jokes. I say I'll go ass to mouth. You don't make me take a hike. And I'm like, I actually don't know if anybody's actually doing that. Well, eating ass is one thing, but I don't guys, this is a blind spot for me. Okay. So I got to tell you, I saw this headline last week that sexually transmitted diarrhea, the new STD is on the rise. And I thought it was a joke. I saw a few comedians post it. So I saw Adam Ray posted at first and I was like, this is an obscure, not true headline. That's no shade to Adam. I just saw comedians posting it. And I was like, this is the onion, or this is like some really old headline. That's not current news. That's not really totally accurate. And they're just making jokes. Like they're just being funny comedians about ha ha ha. And then I was like, this is real. Like you have to be kidding me. Like first it was the lettuce that gave us diarrhea and we were like, fine, I can live without a wedge salad. Then it was the guac. And we were like, you know what? Now it's gone too far. We can't have guac. And now we can't have sex. Now we can't have ass to mouth. We can't have any joy in our life. Everything in 2026, which is a shit show, gives you diarrhea. If they say wine gives you diarrhea, right? I'm we're riding in the streets. What else is shopping online gives you diarrhea? Like what else brings people joy? Like it's literally, how did we guac and sex in 2026 give you diarrhea? Stop. Okay. Can I tell you like a dad joke about this? That I thought of and I was like, okay, you know how we say like, I want a guy to like rearrange my guts. Yeah. But like, not like that, you know? I've never said that guys have said to me like jokingly, like I'm going to be rearranged those guts, be all up in those guts. I've never been like, babe, I can't wait for you to be in these guts, but I'm just looking for shopping for a medium. That's all I'm looking for. What's the joke? Like they rearrange your guts for like poop and stuff. Oh, that was the joke. Okay. That didn't. No, I actually, I, I actually like try with my jokes, like my real ones. Like if I was like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, if I was hosting SNL, I would have like written a joke. I wouldn't have just been like, women are whores and I'm fat. Get it? Not funny. We're like, this is funny. This is funny. That was not funny. Okay. Yeah. So I appreciate your guts dad joke way, way better than the whole monologue, quite honestly. We don't want to give it too much airtime, but yeah. So be careful out there, I guess. I don't know. It's always like this thing, like you and I keep making light of diarrhea and then someone dies and then someone's in the comments like someone died. I'm like, I don't know. We're allowed to make light of diarrhea. We're allowed to make fun of this. So stay safe. We're not doctors. Someone's like, my mom died from Shigella and this is really insensitive. Okay. So next up, Raina, I feel like this is your, the headline you're most excited about. You were on top of this before I saw it and you've been itching for a week to talk about this. Well, Alexander Skarsgård, he stars in the movie Wicker, which we are both so excited about. I think this was up the London Film Festival and he went in this gold suit and the shoes he hit the carpet with are these YSL see-through dress shoes and you can fully see all of his toes, which like, why am I looking at your toes? You should never see a man's toes. And on top of that, that's really not my main issue. They look steamy. They, the shoes look steamed up. Well, of course they are. Like I can smell them. I'm sorry. This is everyone's feet like stuffed into a shoe that doesn't breathe is going to sweat and they're fogged up. The shoes are fogged up. This is crazy. There's no ventilation holes in these shoes. They should have built a ventilation hole. They should have. So I have to ask you, would you rather these shoes or the Chanel sandals? Okay. I, as someone who has really ugly toes to walk in or to look at for me personally, you mean? Okay. On you, for you. And then also for a man, actually the man wouldn't wear the Chanel sandals. I think Alexander Skarsgård. Skarsgård, Skarsgård, it's unfair. And no one, listen, just get a name people can pronounce. I can't do it. Skarsgård, Sars, Pam. I, I still would rather those cause they're at least like full, fully covering the bottom of your foot as, as part of the community that has ugly feet and ugly toes. Like I don't want to be in this at all. This is my worst nightmare. But don't you have a ballet flat that's clear like this? I have seen your toes through your shoes before. I have. I have a, they're not, they're not a frosted clear. They're like a mesh. They're close. They're a mesh. I have a mesh. They're in the same family. They're very, they're, people like them. Yeah, they're fine. I mean, this is also men. It's men's toes. We don't want to see. It's a mesh ballet flat by Dolce Vita. People like them. What would you rather? I just think these are smart PR plays. Totally. Totally. The same thing what we said about Margaret Qualley, right? With the Chanel. With the Chanel shoes for the, for the, for all the dogs or whatever the movie was called. Dog, the dogs, dogs, dog movie, dog days. I don't remember. For all the dogs it's a drink. All the dogs I loved. Yeah, all the dogs I loved before. Okay. Dogs, boys, and other things I've cried about. No. So I, I just think it's smart. It gets people talking and it's like so low stakes. Right. Like this isn't like a cancelable and it's just like people are going to talk about him. They're going to talk about the movie. Now, like, you know, Wicker, people are talking. They're talking about it because of what he wore on the red carpet. Yeah. I think I never would want to see a man in these because I just feel like I'm watching your feet sweat in real time. I'm watching your feet fog up your shoes in real time and I'll never be able to forget that. I just, I feel like you can smell it like through the screen and it's yucky. Yeah. But right. I like it as a PR play. I'm with you. Totally. Okay. So third on our what the fuck report is Susan Dell. So Susan Dell is the wife of Michael Dell. Michael Dell. the founder of Dell Technologies, worth 280 billion dollars susan dellis's wife they've always donated a lot which you have to when you have that much money she's a long time philanthropist they have definitely done a lot of good in the world they work with every administration but they are very aligned with trump they have supported republican administrations more than democrat and they are always all up in the oval office i clocked them months ago when trump was ranting about fifa and i'm like who are these people standing behind him and susan dell just deer in the headlights i'm like who are these people and so i they've been on my radar for a minute now so i just want to start with that you know that they have donated a lot of money but it's also just like it's a bummer that they're so aligned with trump like a rapist criminal con man who couldn't be less of an example for the children they're trying to help but whatever so they're talking about these trump accounts they're putting a bunch of billions of dollars into the trump accounts trump accounts are like your kid gets a thousand dollars whatever it's probably a scam it's probably some way to like again line the pockets of his rich friends whatever like nothing is for actual good or authentic with this president and she's talking about it and the way she's speaking like the internet went wild so i see this clip first thing in the morning and i fire up the group chat because i gotta tell you guys we are one degree of separation from the dell family and i'm not going to say much further than that but we are invested this is close to home for us so i fire up the group chat but i was like this is going to take off because of just the way she looks and i'm not going to talk about her looks like she's a 62 year old woman she's had work done like everybody has like but she's not looking or acting or speaking human that's what's so crazy like people are pulling photos of her from 20 years ago and that doesn't even really make sense like you can't compare a woman or 20s 30s 60s i was watching clips of her from like eight nine years ago she does look like this this is how she looks yeah her face looks the same but the way she's speaking right the way her head is tilting her neck her body her eyes i'm like that's a robot like i'm sorry i am in this conspiracy camp that this is a dell robot like obviously like they have the technology they have the money like they can do this and i really think he's a clone she's a robot it's so crazy like what is the only other explanation is like a botched upper bleph and the wrong meds like i don't know what else it could be like just the way that she is speaking and moving is shocking it's shocking this is not about her looks it does require a wellness check and she just seems like she's on drugs and like you would have to prop me up on that kind of drugs to get me to stand behind donald trump on national television i think that's fair but it's like the stiffness and the eye so the eyes are why she's these really light blue eyes which you know can be a little scary no no shade to the light eye group but like they're wide open like they're not normal eyes like they're it's alien robotic i mean it's just so abnormal human behavior and so i've gone so deep in tiktok that's trump supporters i mean that's that's what you have to be to be the constituency stone at this point i know i mean it's just like you you obviously like completely sell your soul like you're rotting from the inside if you're aligned with him but this feels different like this isn't christy gnome to me like this was it's just not should you just look at you you're just like you're just like you're just like you're human and so you know i hope she's okay but i it's gonna be a halloween costume for sure people are already doing it great call videos and the memes like the thriller they put her in the thriller video and i saw them a men in black these two guys that do men in black saw the video and they went and got all their gear and the will smith song is playing like i've seen a bunch of funny parodies about it i think she did make a statement that was like this is a bummer like we're just donating money to help children and this is what people took away from it i'm not criticizing her looks i'm criticizing that that's the first dell robot in the wild that's not her anymore michael dell also made a statement and he was just like she's beautiful don't talk about her take my wife's name out of your mouth okay i just like i've never seen that like let me know in the comments what you guys thought like just watching her like the the way the the tilting of the net like it was just wild well i mean you're i feel like you're staying a mom on it do you think she's a robot or not i wouldn't put it past i mean maybe she found out too much about the epstein files i mean you know i think that they are disappearing people where's the real susan dell yes honestly justice for the real susan dell wherever she is okay okay so next up this is probably the biggest story today as we're recording this and i mean neither of us saw this coming so kelly clarkson is in a beef with a brooklyn magic store called the the art of play it's an adult toy store not those kind of toys it's a little quirky little toy store in brooklyn and yes very popular in the magician community magicians are are like defending the store they host magician events all the time and so the story is basically that kelly clarkson goes into this store not looking i don't know at the height of beauty allegedly um and they basically treated her as too poor to be in there she said she got pretty woman and she sent out a pretty lengthy tweet saying that she was mistreated and treated like she was less than by the store and now we have gone back and forth the store has responded she has responded the store has responded so this has kind of taken over the news now yes since you've been gone this is what's been happening so she posted i drove all the way to brooklyn to check this store out and they acted like i couldn't afford it and i was told i could they could find something comparable for me wow dude and just lost a huge sale but and then she names the store and says she felt like julie robertson pretty woman it's aggressive language i mean just in general and the store clapped back and was like she wanted to buy this bird named molly that hangs on the wall and it's like this fixture of the store everybody knows about this bird and molly's not for sale they write this whole thing a little snark to it the store seems like there could be pretentious assholes i i don't know like the vibe wasn't really apologetic but it's also like well we'll get to it so then i was like what's gonna happen now so she writes back to the response of like that she wanted to buy this bird that wasn't for sale and nobody was rude to her and that only thing was she wanted to buy something that wasn't for sale she was like cool cool sure it wasn't for sale that's the narrative art of play is going to go with she's posting this on her story so she's just talking about that yes there was a tag on it that said fifteen thousand dollars she posts that you apparently it did say that and then she's like i do support small businesses but fuck you guys basically you know like i'm just paraphrasing and then she posts like molly's not for sale yet a fifteen thousand dollar price tag i'm still so unclear as if this bird is for sale so then art of play comes back and is like molly's not for sale but she has a twin like basically you can buy this thing from the craftsman for 15k but we offered her a two thousand dollar dupe basically it has gotten so out of hand and it's like they kind of seem like they're backpedaling but i am still so fucking unclear as if this bird is for sale there is a sign on the wall next to the bird that says it's for sale so who's to say i have not talked to you about this previously and i'm curious about what your take is and i have so much to say i sort of feel that the internet is a little divided i'm not seeing like 100 support for either to be totally honest i'm not on either side it's how do you pick a side here i like i think kelly clarkson is great so i think that historically she has been pretty unproblematic people were upset recently with some comments she made about ai but it wasn't so egregious she uses ai you know that's kind of what it was about you know i think she's known to be pretty kind and and generous she's super political but she's notoriously been on the right side of history whatever like i'm we stay on kelly we we should it is an interesting choice and i think it's a good choice and i think it's a good choice and i think it's a good choice kelly clarkson is one of the greats like she's ultra famous so i actually looked up how many followers she has by the way it's not i mean it's eight million on twitter it's eight million on instagram it's 15 million on facebook it's five million on youtube i mean it is a mega following it it goes without saying she's mega famous so for her to drag a small business publicly is a really interesting choice like i think a giant corporation go for it an airline drag delta to filth no matter how famous you are and i love delta i say that like it's not gonna affect their bottom line do whatever you want like there's such a disparity here and like also if anyone of any level of fame wants to drag any business small or not for discrimination racism sexism sure but the crime here was like mistaken poor shaming you know like what just general rudeness like yeah she got pretty womaned i guess so i just felt like that was a real choice i think you need to take a beat with these things and like think of how big of a following you have and think of who you're going after and why before you post and rain i have to ask you this is my most serious question i feel like this is my major takeaway from all of this when i buy the bird does the kelly clarkson just not know what it's like to shop retail in 2026 when she's not recognized because people are rude has she never been to zara has she ever asked a gen z retail employee to get her a different size like i just don't think she knows what it's like to shop because we have these experiences all the time Like, this is standard. People are rude. And I have more positive experiences than I don't. And I especially think in LA, people are really nice. Like, more positive than negative. But we have so many negative experiences. Like, people are rude. They're in bad moods. It's the state of the world. They're working with shitty customers. Like, the amount of times you and I voice note each other back of, like, the way we were treated. Remember the Super Bowl subs, Raina? You never posted about it. I'll say it. Bay Cities. Raina had a terrible experience picking up Super Bowl subs. Not because of the store. Because of an employee talking about the team going to the Trump White House. And I was like, why is this coming out? I'm trying to buy some fucking hoagies. Yeah, you encountered a really out-of-pocket MAGA person when you were trying to get your subs in your fucking car. He was in the parking lot with you. Just the two of you. Felt unsafe. Whatever. Like, I had a thing with my vet. And I was like, do I post about this? Like, it's my dog's health. I was pissed for days. And what I did was email this vet. I cc'd the CEO. I found his email online. And shared my experience. And like, I feel like, what's your goal here? Like, Kelly should have gotten that employee's name that was rude to her. And if it really meant something to her, that she felt this sort of way, email the store. Here's the experience that I had. And then sign the email. Kelly fucking Clarkson. And they can, you know, have the egg on their face for treating her that way. And they can talk to the employee. Like, what is the goal here? Because I really think it's crazy that she took to social media. Like, because someone was rude. Not discriminatory, necessarily. She's a white woman. It blew my mind that somebody that has been in the spotlight for this long would do something like that. And nobody deserves to be treated poorly, unfairly, because of the way you look. Or your race. Or your age. Or your gender. Et cetera. But being right about a rude interaction and handling it proportionately are two very different things. Proportionately. Totally. I know that, like, yeah, just because you're famous or rich, it does not mean that you deserve to be treated a certain way. But, unfortunately, that is the tradeoff. And it's not fair that you go on your accounts with tens of millions of followers and slam a store. Like, no one should treat you this way. But, like, it doesn't feel fair. No, the punishment doesn't fit the crime. I hate that she had a bad experience. I hate every time I have a bad experience. Like, part of me is like, yeah, you know, we should hold these people accountable because you work with customers. And, like, you should treat people. You should lead with kindness. But it's just, I don't know. That's life. That's between you and the store and not you and the entire internet. Like, and I think we have seen so many times, time and time again, the internet takes everything and runs with it and makes it huge and enormous. And what if people start going to that store and threatening the employees? Or they break something in the store or steal something from the store. Like, it's just, it doesn't feel fair. It doesn't feel like the punishment fits the crime. And I just thought she would know better. I don't understand, like, this rich white woman. This rich white woman is posting this whole thing. Like, they were mean to me because I looked ugly that day. Like, seriously? So, yes. Also, I'm sorry. I saw this take. This is not coming from me. People in Brooklyn look like shit all the time. Like, I don't, something else, like, happened here. And, like, I feel like the truth is somewhere in the middle of both of their narratives. And I am leaning more towards Kelly, by the way. It's owned by three men. I'm sure someone was rude to her. I don't know what went down. This isn't, like, in defense of them. But the way people are, like, demanding accountability. It's so crazy. Like, you haven't apologized yet. Like, they're, it's just so wild. Like, they are still kind of digging their hole a little deeper. They're not doing a great job in how they're handling this. But it really should not be that serious. Like, I, the way that people have totally blown this out of proportion. Like, again, I'm not on either side. And neither of these are cancelable offenses. Like, I'm still going to listen to Kelly Clarkson and love Kelly Clarkson. And I would also shop at that store. I wouldn't not go in that store like they have a MAGA hat in the window. But I do think they were probably assholes, too. But it still shouldn't have ended up on the internet. Like, I just, I don't have. That's really my experience shopping at a lot of stores in New York. That's just how people treat everybody. That's. Thank you. Like, that's my feeling is that Kelly Clarkson is not going shopping. And so she went out into the wild. Like, all of us go shopping and go to Zara and get abused. And it happened to her. And she just hasn't experienced it before. This is what it's like, Kelly, on these streets. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. People are tense. And it's a tough time in the world. And they've dealt with 10 shitty customers before you. And, like, shit happens. And you can message them privately. Or you can even write a public review. But this was, like, not, you know, I hope this isn't her legacy. It's like Demi Lovato in the frozen yogurt shop. I mean, people just. Oh, my God. Thank you for bringing that up. I was like, when is the last time I have ever seen a rich white lady dare to post something like this? I mean, really. I mean, you can zoom out from. From white lady to any celebrity at that level. I mean, what have I ever heard somebody be like, poor me. And I want to say, by the way, like, we should be allowed to complain when we spend our money with businesses, especially big corporations, and get mistreated. Like, everything is not you're a Karen. You know what I mean? Like, I will complain. Like, I will email. Like, do you think you have to think about who you are, in this case, mega celebrity, and who you're going after? Because this isn't, like, no one can complain. Because I think we've overcorrected there, too. Like, I used to just be on Twitter all the time. Verizon this and that. Like, I would get shit done that way. Because you deal with a lot of shitty customer service. And so it's like sometimes taking publicly is the only way to get stuff done when you are sometimes being taken advantage of or incorrect billing. Like, crazy stuff happened with airlines. You know, like, it's sometimes the only thing to do. But this didn't fit that type of scenario. Also, let me ask you a question. Like, what did she think, truly, what did she think the response was going to be? You want me to feel bad for you? You can afford a $15,000 trinket? Yeah, but people are, like, just carrying torches for her. Like, you know, in defense of her. I mean, I have seen both sides. I do think the internet's divided. And I'm more on threads than you are, too. And, like, that's where I'm just seeing that it's really, like, down the middle. And I have to ask you, like, if you're worth $50 million, which she is. I would buy that store and put it. Put it in my backyard. Thank you. If someone treated me like this, I would probably laugh it off. I'd be like, I'm so fucking rich. Like, I think I would walk out of that store. I don't know. Like, didn't something happen with Bethany Frankel and Chanel? Is this, like, this long-standing beef? But it's Chanel. Like, I'm sorry, little mom and pop, small business in Brooklyn. Even if it's three asshole men that own it, this just isn't, like, a fair fight. I'd start a spite store. If you're next door. Yes, if you learn nothing from Curb Your Enthusiasm season 10, Kelly, open Art of Play 2 right next door. I'd open another magician shop right next door where we sold $15,000 for her. Raina, no, because you know what? She's had a long, successful career. And, like, that's what my next phase of life would be. That's my favorite season of Curb is because of the spite store. And this is what I envisioned for me in, like, 10 to 20 years. Is someone doing me wrong, the coffee not being hot enough, and I open my own coffee shop next door. Like, exactly that. She better open a spite store. Have all the birds you want in there for sale. She's like, I'm going to tweet about you. Like, I. Literally pun intended. Like, it's just crazy. That's funny. I think this is a teachable moment for her. And, Kelly, I got to tell you, like, we are dealing with this shit all the time on these streets. And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. So just remember that. Go to a czar. And then tell me how you feel afterwards. Okay, Kelly? In Flatiron, please, God. No, like, send Kelly to, like, one of the New York City hotspot restaurants without a res and see how they treat you. Oh, my God. It's not always like that, actually. I will say. Where do we go in Grunge Village? Minette Tavern? Minette Tavern, yeah. And we went in there, and it's, like, it's just been hard to get a res forever. And we walked in there, and they were, like, so nice, you know? And, like, they were so nice. Because I hate that you don't have a res or you an idiot for walking through these doors energy, but it does happen. It's happened to me so many times. I remember one night, Meryl and I tried to go to Laser Wolf, Mother Wolf, Laser Wolf? Laser Wolf's Brooklyn. There's both of them. Laser Wolf is Brooklyn. Different. One's Israeli, and one's Italian. Okay. I still lived in New York. It was New Year's Eve Eve. We're like, no one's going to be out. The way that we got laughed out of the restaurant. The girl was like, I mean, you can maybe wait four hours, but you're not going to eat here tonight. You know, like, I've been abused by service. Service people. We all have. That's why I'm just, like, mad at her. I'm like, you, this is out of touch, you know? Also, every day of her life is easy. She flies private. I don't have to keep basing on her, but, like, I think that you could endure 10 minutes of being told you can't have this $15,000 bird. You don't have to, like, drag this store all over the internet. They could have been ruder than that, and we don't know, and I'm sure that they are assholes. I wouldn't really stand on business there. Yeah. If you guys have gone shopping in Brooklyn, you know. Yeah. You know what? They probably saw her comments about AI. They actually probably knew who she was, and they were like, Kelly, not woke enough to be in here with these magicians. Your AI is taking their jobs, and they were, like, knew exactly who she was, and it was a targeted attack, and that's my new theory. Okay. Let's take her apart. Okay. So, let's talk about GLP-1s and specifically Noom. So, my personal experience is that I have been on GLP-1s. I have taken them on and off. I've had them on and off. I've had personally a pretty positive experience, I think when most people start thinking about taking GLP-1s, the other part of that is how can I change the behaviors day to day so that eventually I can get off of it if I want to. So losing the weight is sort of half the battle. And I have used different companies to get GLP-1s and I really love what Noom is doing. So they are the leading behavioral change company and they believe that losing weight is only sort of part of keeping yourself healthy. And they combine GLP-1 medication with behavioral support. So it's designed to help people build healthy routines in general and sustain that progress over time. And it's just like any diet you go on where you say to yourself, I'm going to do this thing, but like, how can I do this for the rest of my life? So Noom is really invested in doing that. They help you change your mindset with these daily lessons and science-backed habit formation tools. They're designed to help you build sustainable habits in like small steps. So the app is fantastic. And when you sign up, they're going to help you figure out a diet plan and a workout plan and understand how to manage food noise. And that was always my problem. I've struggled with that. My whole life, honestly, making really intentional food choices and exercise choices and staying consistent with that. And Ashley and I are on the road a lot. We travel a lot. So it's hard to keep up with like really sustainable, good eating habits. And I love that like their whole company isn't just like lose weight. It's kickstart this journey and figure out healthy habits you can sustain forever. Yeah. And I think friends that we've had who are on GLP-1s all cite the way that silencing the food noise changed. And I think also just realizing how much food you actually need slash don't need and, you know, to, you know, stay satiated to also to stay healthy and get the nutrients you need and not to overeat and just to feel better and feel good. Yeah. I think that, you know, when you do this, I, again, that fear is like, how do I do this? How do I do this psychologically forever? Yeah. What I have found is that like, this has helped me to figure out what do I stock my fridge with? How do I? How do I cook for myself? I'm still hungry. This is not a limited. I'm not taking a dosage that has eliminated all my hunger. I want to be hungry. I want to enjoy going out to eat. I want to enjoy having a drink of wine with my meals if you choose to do stuff like that. So it's just helped me to just kind of figure out like, what is my day to day life need to look like? And they'll give you daily lessons and food logging to support your weight loss also. So if you're just like, I don't know where I'm at. This is a good way if you're just curious about GLP-1s to jumpstart that in a way that is hopefully healthier. And the program is designed to maximize your success. GLP-1s and you can hopefully sustain these type of habits, even if you choose to get off of the medication, which I love that that's their whole goal. The Noom GLP-1 program starts at $39 and is delivered to your door in as little as seven days. Start your GLP-1 journey today at Noom.com. That's N-O-O-M.com. Noom. Lose for keeps. Initial one month subscription from $39 plus tax and 99 plus tax per month thereafter. Cost of medication not included. Final pricing depends upon program selection. Okay.

So we are going to review some shows that we have been watching and preview what's coming so much, really a lot for fall and really a lot of spooky stuff. There's so much out right now. I feel like we've been like blessed. So number one on my list is East of Eden. It is on Netflix. It is a seven part series. It is a masterpiece. Reina, don't. I just want to watch. I'm just like, I'm out here like I can't watch it myself. I just like. I just like haven't had the time and I really want to watch it. So I will tell you that it is a great couple show. I've told all my girlfriends, if you live with a partner, watch it as a couple. Men will like it too. They're people too. Sort of. Sort of. I don't know. Men dress like whores. Am I right? Great joke. You should host this now. Men dress like rapists. Am I right? Why are men acting so rapey at the gym? Am I right? Actually, don't ruin their lives, you know? Okay. So it is starring. Sorry, we're living in weird times. It is based on the book he used to be in. I think it's from like 1952. And it stars Florence Pugh. And it is sort of like a Cain and Abel story about good and evil. And are you born that way? Is it nature versus nurture? Florence Pugh. It is one of the greatest performances I have ever seen in my life. I think that she will win an Emmy for it. I don't even think anybody else should apply. It is just a brilliant portrayal of her life. You just sort of see what makes people who they are. And do they choose to be evil or not? She, it is a phenomenal performance. It's an incredible show. I, you guys just have to watch it. Everybody that I like posted about it DMs me and is like, thank you. Thank you for recommending it. It was number one on Netflix for about a week and a half. It has been dethroned by Below, which we will cover. I don't really tend to love what I would call old timey stuff. It starts off in the late 1800s and it goes into the early 1900s. But I thought, when I see too much dust, I'm just like, am I going to like this? I mean, yeah, I wouldn't say I'm a person who gravitates towards period pieces. But like Bridgerton is one of my favorite shows of all time. I mean, obviously they did that a little differently and it's modern day mixed in, you know, like it's not true to the period. But yeah, I'm super excited about this. And Wuthering Heights, which love. Yeah. Okay, so we started Carrie last night. We did a little spooky walk around our neighborhood and checked out all the Halloween decorations and then came home and started Carrie. This is an eight part series on Amazon Prime. Obviously, Stephen King's iconic novel. Carrie has been adapted like seven times. Oh, and I just wanted to share a little history. So the original 1976 Sissy Spacek, Stephen King did praise that. That's like the original. He was like, they did a great job, whatever. Since then, he has critiqued or at the least just dismissed a lot of these Carrie adaptations. So primarily 2002 TV movie, 2013 theatrical remake. And so now we have this television series, which I love that it's a series instead of a movie. I love that they're doing this. And the showrunner is Mike Flanagan, who he is this renowned filmmaker, showrunner, especially in horror. And it's incredible. So Stephen King has said it's brilliant. He loves what Mike Flanagan has done. I mean, Stephen King, it's his book. You know, he's the like final say. And we've just watched two episodes. I was hearing how wonderful this was. KFC posted it, too. He also was like, this is a great show for couples to watch or whoever. But, you know, like, again, you could watch it, whatever. You guys are mostly familiar with the story. Shashank wasn't totally familiar with. The story, which I was surprised. But like, he's very into it, too. And I saw this stat and I wanted to look it up and confirm that showrunner Mike Flanagan deliberately assembled an all female roster of directors outside of himself to shape Carrie's story, noting that men have told the story for too long and that the only thing I know less about than being a teenager is being a woman. So we love it. I love that all women are doing the show. It's so good because it's about a teenage girl's experience. experience. And so I love that all women are working on this. Is this the first time it's been made into a TV show? was it always movies no i just i 2002 tv movie yeah i think this is the first i could be wrong because i didn't i did a lot of research but i didn't check that i think so i mean it's a movie it's like it started as a movie in the 70s and i think people have tried to remake it since but like an eight episode tv series i mean i'm sat for it and i'm just really loving it i love that women are working on it it's great for a spooky season and throwback actor matthew lillard plays the principal and i'm loving him in it loving him like yeah that's crazy and i think he was in something else recently that we talked about he's great and the cast is great this one girl like the mean girl i want to strangle her she's so good at playing this part and the the actress that plays carrie is really great as well and we're just loving it so i'm excited to finish that and then we did pretty much watch below for the most part we watched most of it this is again on netflix it's horror technically i wouldn't really say it's that scary it's a thriller josh hartnett who i guess is back you know now he's just gonna be everywhere he's he's just back on the scene he's back baby so he stars in it um it's about this fishing community in newfoundland there's this sea creature on the loose it killed josh hartnett's dad when he was a kid it's this like giant squid whatever and we watched most of it we dnf'd on this one we were liking it and then i don't know it kind of took a turn it's getting better and better and better it's getting a lot of good reviews it's like 85 on rotten tomatoes critics really like it i'm sure you guys really like it i really don't want to criticize i think it's a very well done show it just kind of lost us a little bit and there are all these similarities to widow's bay and i prefer widow's bay again widow's bay is comedic and this is not so there's certainly a difference there but i'm curious if you guys have watched both like which you prefer if you're like team below or team widow's bay because there are like sea creature scary spooky similarities so i'd be curious what you guys think drop a comment down below and i'll see you in the next one if you've watched both but yeah it's fine i mean it's there's just other stuff like i did there's just a lot of things we want to watch and a lot of stuff coming out which we'll get to and so i don't think we're going to finish below all right well my final rec and then we'll tell you guys what's coming up um is animals on netflix the movie starring ben affleck and carrie washington he is running for the mayor of los angeles and their child gets kidnapped so it's kind of a thriller about that i'm only like 35 minutes into it it's about two hour watch i'm really liking it and ashley and i are big ben affleck stans so okay but like i don't know like is he still hot you know like i yes he is still hot no it's just like i like just like to think of him as the town or pearl harbor or armageddon armageddon ben affleck i'm wet thinking about it i mean he's like paul rudd to me he doesn't age and honestly he looked 50 30 years ago so i just he hasn't gotten older i just i just don't like to see him looking all disheveled you know like just picture him with his spilling his dunkin on the street and he's just like looking pissed off but i love ben affleck and obviously carrie washington and i live in la you know we just had this controversial mayoral race anyway so i'm excited to watch that we we i wish we would have put that on we put

okay headlines two of these headlines are more ashley's friend and two are more reina's friend like that we're really excited to talk about so i'm just gonna kick it off with a quick one so ukraine is bombing data centers and they are taking out russian bot farms so if you care about this at all you know that russian bots are a problem but bots in general are a problem they can swing elections maybe there's fake accounts spewing a bunch of disinformation and nonsense and so ukraine is they bombed this like center for this big search engine and they took out all these bots and so president zelensky is like and we don't plan to stop and you're welcome america and it's just funny that people are seeing even on like threads and twitter like checking for bots like posting stuff like that and it's just funny that people are seeing even on like threads and twitter like posting stuff like that and it's just funny that bots might gravitate towards like it's very funny it's been this trending thing of like can you feel the effects of it and i don't want to misspeak about this especially it's like political and uh i don't want to get it wrong but i mean people are saying that you can tell like people are reporting like you can tell that there's a lot less bots on these platforms and so anyway obviously zelensky is the hero we need and uh we love that just the less bots the better especially less russian bots that interfere with u.s elections so that's that okay this headline i'm so excited about so toby mcguire officiated his ex jennifer meyer's wedding to billionaire heir weeks after finalizing their divorce and wait no yes so I just was gonna let Raina educate me on this I didn't I saw the headline you they're recently divorced I just figured they'd been separate like apart for years for him to do this so I will say my parents have were separated and did not finalize their divorce until my mom got remarried and that was like seven years later I remember I went with my dad he was like oh your mom's gonna remarry we gotta finalize this divorce like my parents had a separation agreement they had a custody agreement and they didn't actually like finalize until my mom married Chip okay so they've been separated a while I mean it's like the only way you could do this is if you'd been separated a while and you have a friendship clearly also I didn't know who she was and now I'm realizing too I'm obsessed with this jewelry so Jennifer Meyer jewelry there was a necklace last season of nobody wants this a name necklace remember he gets to the name necklace and she's like what is it she doesn't like it she says I can't remember there was a whole thing with a necklace anyway it's Jennifer Meyer okay so they were married from 2007 till 2016 so they have been split for 10 years okay and I just think it is so I'm fascinated by it and I'm fascinated by like would you guys want your ex to marry you guys and would you marry your ex would you headline your ex's wedding if he allowed it yes I can't decide if you and I would do it like would we give them a gift like that or would that be the funniest thing you could ever do I mean I feel like this is what happened with mine you know you were my life partner before so technically no but I had to give you away you became my ex I had to give you away but um the person that I had been in love with for years previously was also at the wedding so I had to stand up there and marry you in front of him which was delightful and they crushed but yeah I mean this if this works it feels really special like they know you on a level I mean I don't I don't think there's layers to it I don't know I don't think a lot of men would love it men and women I don't know that you'd want the person that marries you that you fucked them but this guy's a billionaire so to me it's like if I was marrying my ex and he was marrying a supermodel and so she's like I don't care that you're marrying us have you seen me so this guy's like I don't care that you're marrying us have you like seen my bank account you know like I'm wondering oh I thought you were just like I don't care that you're just meant because like billionaires have no feelings no but also they have they don't don't care they're sociopaths there's no empathy they don't care Jeff Bezos was at this wedding with Lauren Sanchez okay oh my god let us know in the comments would you guys marry your ex and would you let your ex marry you yes and no yes to the first actually no to the second you're one of your it's just one of your exes is getting married and I would give nothing more than to tag team headline this wedding I just did I have so many questions did Jennifer approve what he was gonna say like it's just this could go left it's not going to Toby McGuire seems like a great guy and he's not a comedian because you couldn't let a comedian do this Ashley that you couldn't because they wouldn't be able to help themselves they would be saying out of pocket stuff the stuff that you and I would write would be unimaginable it every sentence would start with when when him and I were together every single oh my god yeah no it would have to be something like yeah so I guess you paid for this wedding because we know he didn't ha ha ha like I would not be able to stop does he ask you if you came every time even though there's no evidence to support that you did come it's crazy okay well I love that good for them you know it's just you know untraditional relationships these days you love to see it okay so Instagram apologized for too much creed so I will say Shashank noticed this every time he was posting a story he was getting suggested higher by creed to post with this story and he noticed it and I was like what you're crazy whatever there's because they they it's a little scary they see what's in your story they suggest you songs based on it like if it's the dogs or if I'm with my nephews or like you know with the girls like they'll say songs and sometimes they are pretty good they have great suggestions they are right they know what you're talking about and they're posted they did a quick scan of it and they suggest you the songs or they recommend you the songs so this was recently in higher by creed was linked to all kinds of moments when it didn't really make sense and people started to post about it like I can't prove it but pretty sure creed is paying meta to suggest their song higher Instagram really wanted me to add higher by creed to the picture of a Caesar salad I posted they almost had me this time and then someone's like that song is always recommended to me too and it's it says in this article Instagram is supposed to recommend music by the same sort of method so I'm going to post it and I'm going to post it and I'm going to use this to recommend other content like via the algorithm and so Instagram looked into it and they admitted this was a mistake it said we looked into this and found that this song is being recommended to more people than intended we're continuing to investigate I can't believe this is something that the biggest company and one of the biggest tech companies the world actually has to issue a public apology this is so funny to me creed's laughing all the way to the bank you never think it's going to be creed this is funny it says people have also flagged soldier on as showing up more often than seems plausible that's more delightful okay do you get suggested paint the town red that's I mean oh is that your number one number one constantly do you know what yours is mine it's just so it's always like something about dogs because it's like always dogs 90 percent of my shit is just food I don't know why it's always paint the town red because you're trying to paint the town red okay let's see you know me I was trying to paint the paint the town red okay let's see you know me I was trying to paint the town red okay let's see you know me little homies by tupac is probably my number one and because I'm like with dogs or my nephews recently little homies comes up all the time um hillary duff come clean it's like they get me you know what I mean different than mine that's my conspiracy theory is little homies for me all the time and then like best friend okay well lastly we have a taylor and travis headline this one makes me laugh so hard taylor swift and travis kelsey's ohio neighbors blast absentee couple has a tremendous blow to the community so the couple during a village planning meeting last month were not there the village is upset about their presence in the village to the community's peace and quiet according to transcripts from the daily mail however it's not what you like really think because it's I thought it was going to be like this is too much celebrity for this little town but it's because of the fencing they want to erect for security purposes and the trees they want to plant around their mansion so they're saying that animals might impale themselves on the fencing um and that all the trees are bad like the roots are going to go into the systems it will cause catastrophic sewer backups people are upset oh my gosh so I think the headlines were kind of clickbait because the headlines said the neighbors are blasting absentee couple which makes it sound like the neighbors are just pissed they're not home enough I thought they were going to skip the community planning meeting like taylor swift's were like why are you mad they're not around what could what nuisance could they be causing if they're not there but they're not attending the right meetings that the hoa meetings yeah imagine taylor swift to your hoa meeting and you it's like I think they have to go if they want to put that fence up you have to show up you could send a proxy I'm pretty sure that like legally then they're not going to prove it they're like we'll give you the fence if taylor comes to the meeting okay taylor swift just like kelly clarkson taylor's just gonna buy that whole town okay you can't really tell if you're going to buy that whole town if you're going to buy that whole town if you're going to tell her what to do no she's a nice person she would never can't tell her nothing okay well yeah I mean it's just like I get it but where are they supposed to live I don't know they also have properties in rhode island tennessee california new york and there was one more I forget what it was kentucky so they do have the properties literally where ashley's like where are they gonna live
