The Snack: Loneliness Influencers, Summer House, and Naptime at the Knicks
62m 34s
The host reflects on personal changes, including transitioning to a natural brunette hair color after enduring the challenges of hair extensions, which required significant time and effort to maintain. This shift is framed as a thoughtful, intentional style decision that aligns with her values and self-image. The episode then delves into the massive cultural buzz around the NBA Finals, noting how celebrity involvement and the long wait for a championship have amplified excitement, even as President Trump’s attendance disrupted the event with poor timing, strict security, and financial fallout for local businesses. The discussion turns to a viral trend of "loneliness influencers," where individuals present themselves as isolated, sparking debate on whether such content is genuine or performative. The host questions if these portrayals glamorize real loneliness or simply reflect a societal trend that could deepen social disconnection. She emphasizes that while solitude can be valid and meaningful, the widespread glorification of being alone may undermine the need for human connection. The segment also touches on other topics including the emotional intensity of reality TV, a shocking true story about a teen involved in a fatal car crash, and the growing popularity of sleep and recovery supplements. Ultimately, the host advocates for authenticity and emotional honesty, suggesting that true connection requires going beyond curated online personas and engaging with the world in real, human ways.
This week on The Snuck, Loneliness Influencers, Hunter Biden's Tweets, and more next news. This is The Dear Media Production. Enjoy! Hi guys! Hi! Do you guys like my hair? I got excited because we recorded so much yesterday and I was like, "You're hair!" And I forgot we have an episode today. Guys, I don't know if you can tell that your girl got extensions. Some six little pieces. I don't know, you could do that. A total of six K-tips up in this bitch and I hate them. Dude, I don't know how you have a head full of them. But they just bother me and I'm new to this. Mm-hmm. You have to brush your hair differently, you have to wash your hair differently. I condition my whole head, I can't condition them, you said. Like, blow dry them, I feel them pulling. I feel like if Shashank has me under his arm, I'm like, "Oh, hair!" You know, like, I am getting used to them. My hairdresser obviously did an amazing job placing them and has something to do with her. I just don't know if I'm an extension girly. They're not the greatest joy of my life. Dude, I mean, how many do you have in? Like, if you were to guess? I don't know, 50? Okay. A lot. Give me a number because I got exactly six and I was like, "What's a whole head?" I'm just like, "Is it red?" I mean, people get a ton. I can't even imagine it. I mean, like, you watch, like, Mormon wives? None of those girls have hair. Like, that's-- So, I can't even imagine it. So, we just went dark. My hairdresser's name is Haley. She's incredible. And I was like, "I'm just so sick of this, like, blah, brown." I mean, I whatever. I love my natural color. But I was like, "It's just a contrast with the blonde highlights growing out and I want just something different." And so, she did, like, a perfect brunette. I love it. I think it's so chic. I mean, we were talking about it. You feel kind of baddy when you go darker or shorter. It's just a decision. It's like-- Yeah. I made a style decision. It's like, "I'm not just going to, like, willy nilly through life." I mean, this is pretty cool. It's like a natural color. You would darker for summer. You really started to dry. Right. It's bold. But no, I mean, this is closer to my natural color. But I always like lighter highlights and I love blonde hair and light hair. But I think when you, like, are, like, I'm going dark or I'm going short, it's baddy energy. It's not so baddy energy that blonde blonde hair. And that's beautiful. Long blonde hair is beautiful. Of course it is. That's a beauty standard. But it's when you stray from it. This is a choice. I think it looks so good. I think it looks so chic. It's just-- It's like a real style choice. It looks very chic. It looks like a choice. That's a choice. So I don't know. We'll see how I fare with these, but it's just, like, you touch now, like, oh my god. I mean, you can use them. I've had them for, like, two years. But, like, yeah, it's not my dream. But how do you even wash your hair? Like, aren't you just-- because you want to-- like, I want to do, like, this. I do that. The, like, scrunch and-- I do that with shampoo. I get, like, really in there with the shampoo. Yeah. Sometimes I double wash. Yeah. I double wash, too. It's my first time. I washed my hair and conditioned it and blow dried it. And I just, you know, blow dried. I had to kind of take the top. It just was the mess. It's the first couple of times I blow my hair dry. I blow my hair dry. It's like, yeah. Yeah. It's not my dream. Yeah. And I am hoping that, like, now I can just start taking more neutral, which is the sponsor. And just, like, get my hair healthier and eventually just take them out. Yeah. Like, yeah, I just want to be able to run my fingers through my hair. But listen to me. Beauty is pain. I knew this wouldn't be for you. There's no way. So I got, like, nail extensions, which these are my natural nails now. You know, I was like, oh, my God. I hate these. And then three days in. I was like, okay, I can live with these. I can take my contacts out. I can type. But I don't know. We'll see. Some people just, you know, you see people who you're like, okay, or even they complain about their hair, being thin, people with plenty of money. And you're like, well, they're not. You just don't get extensions. And it's like, this is why it's just that for everybody. And I understand it now because I'd be like, why not? Like, you have the money of the time, also the time. It's a time-sock. So my appointments to get this out, get my hair colored cut, get them put back in, get these trimmed. It was five hours. And like, I love my hair, girl, but I was like, white knuckling it. Like, can we speed this up? And the removal, as part is part of the length. Removal is like two hours. That's the thing. Removal. Like, that was the thing with the nail extensions. And again, I don't need a nail. But even when I get my gel off, I'm like, oh, my God, I just want to get the new thing. I think the removal of anything is the worst part. Like, it's probably a lot. Walt's in there every day and get freshies for every session and get fresh ones. Taking them out takes longer than putting them in. Oh, my God. Because like, some of them, they grow out a little bit and then the hair above it gets a little bit like matted and they got to comb that out. And you have to like melt each bond and like pull them out nicely because you don't want to lose all your hair. The hair above it. She said, my hairdresser said she had a client that she did for her honeymoon and then she went on like some safari or something and like didn't really care for them. And she had to come back and like brush. She said it was like to get them unmatched. So they'll like become like little dreadlocks. If you don't brush them and take care of them, the top. Like the part between the bond and the top of your head, if it grows out too long, you won't do that. You have to brush them. Like, she said to me, just brush her hair twice a day like a normal person. And she was like, you can't imagine what I've seen. Right. But like when you have 50 to 100 to 200 of them, that should get tangled up. You got to brush your hair every day. Okay, it's congrats.

So we are going to kick it off with a sports report. Because we record the next lost game three last night, but as this airs, we will have had game four last night. So who's to say, what could happen? Okay, I have a question for you. It's a genuine question. I don't know the answer to this. Okay. The mania surrounding the NBA finals this year, like it's my whole feed, it's every celebrity is there. I mean, it is every meme, every tweet, it is an avalanche. And sometimes I'm like, is it that level because this is who I follow and this is where my feed is like, or is this like the most mania we have ever seen or a sporting event? It is. And they haven't won the final since the 70s. But like, so this is more mania that has ever really existed around a sporting event. Yeah, but it is also like celeb's team. Like the nymphs are Timothy Chalamane Kylie and Jay Z, you know, last night Jay Z Larry David. Right. There's people like, there's no other team, I guess the Lakers where it's like the celeb mania surrounding it, all these celeb fans. I think that like elevates a team too. You think of like the celebs that are Eagles fans, you know, I think that like matters. And then also who you follow. So we follow so many New Yorkers. Yeah. So I think that plays into it too. I do think it's more hype than any year in recent memory because it's the next and it's been so long. But like also the Super Bowl, like I feel like I am not seeing this type of mania around anything in any sporting event in my memory. We need joy. And that's what it is. We need joy. And I feel like this all is about 2025 and 2026. Everything feels like it's on steroids, things that bring people joy. Halloween decorations, sports, Super Bowl. Like these things. What was the thing recently? I was the first thing else. I feel like I'm trying to like get a sneeze out. Like I need just say the sense to me like you're validating that like this has never happened with any a Super Bowl nothing really. It's because it's the next and it's been so long and that okay, it's been so long. And it's like New York and it's every slab. Of course there's stories and there's stories about the three major players on the next and the spurs be having this young team and the contrast between the teams I think is a human interest story of the next kind of being these grown ups and then this young team with nothing to lose and but yeah, it is I think it's because it's been so long and I think that's the main part of it because it's I'm thinking if it was the Celtics, you know, if you or someone who lives in Boston, everybody follow is Boston. It's Celtics, Mania, you know, and when we went a couple of years ago and the Celtics were in the playoffs and then they won like it was a lot in my feed and like a lot around my home with Shashank and it just that felt like really big to me and like I went to a game and I was like this is everything that matters and you probably didn't feel like that at all. Yeah, but I'm curious is everybody feel like this is everybody's feed every day right now. Yeah, and I think it's just so many people in New York are in the media and in your feed and they care about the nicks like so many comedians like all these people you follow care about the nicks like I wouldn't even think that about the Lakers and you couldn't do this with football because the Super Bowl is one game. I don't think that like baseball is not high energy hockey. I think it's just no people don't care about it as much like it's like this is like a perfect storm of everything it's just been fun like we've seven games look forward to maybe just five now, but like this has been fun to follow. Yeah, it was fun. I was I was sad they lost obviously lost because Trump was there of course. It was just crazy like Trump went and it just ruined everyone's time. He fell asleep cost millions of taxpayer dollars for him to fucking go. They were saying like two hours security to get in plan for this like he just inconvenienced everyone tradition to have a watch party outside of MSG that was canceled. Then Mamdani came in like the white night he is and moved it to Bryant Park and there was so many ways he just of course just terrorized these people and I was reading stats about how strict the
perimeter was around the arena and the business impact of all the local bars and restaurants that lost so much money. Like, that's their super ball. A bar and a restaurant that's close to MSG, that's all the people are coming in and spending money. Like, they're ready to like make their money. And people, they said that they reported losing up to 60% of their expected business because of the tight security. It's just, there's so many things that we're so enraging that he ruined. Well, the sleeping is like the worst part of it for me and it makes me the saddest is the New Yorkers have looked forward to this for 50 years. And like, we've moved this watch party that people look forward to and you're gonna go to sleep. - It's, I mean, I guess he's gonna, he sleeps at his own press briefings. I, the sleeping didn't bother me at all 'cause of course he fell asleep. If you would ask me is Trump gonna fall asleep I would put money on it. It's just that he inconvenienced and impacted these businesses. And it's just like, for what? - To go take a nap, it bothers me. - Yeah, but he falls asleep. He just, he's barely alive, you know? Like, I think you, you spent millions of taxpayer dollars to go do this thing that sitting presidents aren't really supposed to do because of the impact. And so it just really, really bothered me but I mean, New Yorkers just booed him like in the stadium, out the stadium. He rolled up in the motorcade. - Motorcade, yeah. And they could be middle fingers everywhere. And so you just love to see it. And I saw a couple really funny tweets I wanted to share. So I love this rallying cry recently that went viral that my mayor, Muslim, my bagel Jewish, my Christian Dior, Nixon four. And then what I saw last night on Threads I believe was my mayor's Muslim, my bagel Jewish, presidents barely alive, Nixon five. I like them redo. The Christian Dior line through me. My Christian's Dior, like my mayor's Muslim, my bagel Jewish, my Christian Dior is a song. The Christian Dior pops milk. - Okay, now I understand it better. - I didn't love that line. I like the revamped version. - Oh, I love that line. - Like I love that we were like doing these religions. It's like so perfect. - I did not catch that the Thread line was religion. I thought it was fashion. - Well, it's also a play on Christian Dior. - That's what I thought. - But like it's like a fashion city. I missed that the Thread line was religion. - And like the nicks are brilliant. - Whether he meant that or not, it's brilliant. I love it so much. So I love this though. Presidents barely alive, Nixon five. And my other favorite one was her handle is Bull City Anna. If they wanted Trump to leave, they should have just had a woman ask him a question. Just laugh this morning. I just love the Threads and the tweets are, I'm always just like these people really aren't so hilarious. So, you know, he's not go. I guess he was maybe gonna go to game four and he has a scheduling conflicts now. Oh, the other thing I saw over and over was he could go to the next game, but not his son's wedding. - That's crazy. This man is like too busy to go to my son's wedding but catching me at the nicks, just ruining everyone's time. - But his excuse was like people are gonna come after me for not like being present with like the war and things like that. And that's why I can't go to this wedding. - But you're gonna go to basketball game. - You know, basketball game? - Yeah. - And shut down this city. - Shut down this city. - People are pretty upset about that. - Yeah, that's the thing. It's just like the thing that bothered me the most is you know, really inconvenience in people. Like you have to get your two hours in advance now no bags at all, Jordan Woods couldn't bring her bag. And then the businesses losing all that money and then the watch party. Like it's this iconic thing for all these thousands of people to gather outside of MSG that really makes people feel really together and part of the community. And yes, of course it was moved. But it's like for this guy, if you cared about anyone's wellbeing, you wouldn't go for all of these reasons. - I feel this doesn't happen, right? - No, it's a first city person to attend an NBA finals game. - Barack Obama would attend some games but first sitting president to attend an NBA finals game. - You're not supposed to do this. - Yeah, it's just for so many reasons and how much money it costs. - I'm with you. - All right, well speaking of tweets, I think this is so funny. - Okay. - So Elmo tweeted out a couple days ago, Elmo hopes both teams have fun. And New Yorkers did not appreciate that. And this is the time for sportsmanship Elmo. Like people flooded the comments. They were so mad. You're a New Yorker, Elmo, don't forget that. I mean, that's crazy. Elmo is a New Yorker, he's from the streets. Quite literally. He's from Sesame Street. I guess he doesn't live on the street, Oscar the Grouch was in the street. But like, how dare you? - The Sesame Street is a New York street. - I know, I'm just saying it. I thought he lived on the streets. That's Oscar the Grouch. - That's the Grouch, yeah. - No, it's an easy thing to get confused. - I bet Oscar the Grouch would have do this. - So then Elmo had a print retraction. He said, next that last message, Elmo didn't mean to spur you on. I'm like, he he he, not the puns. And people were like, not, it's too late, Elmo. (laughing) We raising the red on Sesame Block. (laughing) No, poor upset. I get it, I love when unexpected people start beefs. And it is so funny, you never think it was Elmo. The comments, there was hundreds of comments. On the first one, there were thousands of comments on the retraction. People being like, oh, you're not forgiven. - No, Elmo. - I've never forget a slide. (laughing) That's so funny. Like these parents are like, you gotta find a new shoe show to watch, like traumatizing your kids over there. That's my true kids' cancel. - Okay, the last thing I want to say about these, about the nicks, these takeer prices, I've never seen anything like this in my life. They are starting at 10K for game four. I looked for game three, I just checked the game time app. We looked game time, they've been like a partner of ours. Like I saw some in like 3,000, who didn't? For game three, 'cause I think people probably also thought the nicks might win game four. But like starting at 10K, then the nosebleeds, all the way up to 100K or more, this is crazy. - Okay, so I saw some friends of ours that game and I was like, you got that kind of money. - I didn't know. - No. - Because you don't really have like a hook up, you know? - I mean, this is just not one of those things where you can like get a hook up. I mean, kind of like for the Super Bowl, like you and I can like try to see if somebody can try to help us get tickets, but like, it's not like that. It's really so crazy. I mean, they're probably even more than 10 at this point, but I was just shocked to see these. And I went to game one, again, two years ago for the Celtics and I paid a lot, but like nothing compared to this. Like I went back and looked, 'cause I bought them on game time. And I was like, what were these? And they were, you know, what am I gonna say? But they were like, this is wild. It's just, it's a mania, unlike I've ever seen in any sporting event in my lifetime that I can ever remember. Yeah. And it's funny, 'cause puberty, one of the biggest Instagram accounts that exists, like posted Timothy Chalamet, like they said, he was like crashing out. He was just like super hyper, like screaming. It's not for me. A man that does that, it's just not, that type of stuff. That's why she's not there. That type of enter. That's why she's not going. Yeah, she's a rain him in. He just really cares a lot. This is so important. But I don't like him. That's fine. When I see guys like act like that about sports, it's like, it's next to me and that's, okay, it's not next to a lot of women. And that's fine, that's for me personally. And so I commented on to it, men are so emotional. And it has thousands of likes now. And so many men are under the comments and they're being pretty nice to me. But this one guy was like, hey lady, I had a lot of money on that game, show some respect. And it made me feel like, oh men are acting like this. Oh, they're mad at trying to pay their mortgage. But they're about to lose their mortgage. And watch men act not Timothy Chalamet. But when you watch men sometimes go fuck you bananas at sports, you have to remember that they got money on the game. I mean, do you want to have the Chalamet? He's paying $140,000 for court side seats. He's like, Kylie's gonna be mad if I lose all that money. He only has one source of income, it's acting. He's not like a mogul. I think he's doing okay. I don't know if it's not worth it, but it's actually probably not as much as girlfriend. So, isn't she a billionaire? Yeah, no, that's true. He's just like, I'm ask you, like did by. Kylie's like, you can't afford this. For them to also lose, I'm going to be in the Bahamas and my little trip and you are your little basketball game. Okay. Okay, one more just piece of sports news. And I just want to talk about this. 'Cause I was there is the US Women's Open. This was, this past, and it was four days long, but I went on Sunday with our friend, Halle, led better and her husband and Shashank went to. She's a good friend of ours. She's a golf professional. She doesn't play pro golf anymore. She did for a little bit and she invited us and this was my first golf tournament. And I guess it was a big deal because that golf club in the Palisades, the Riviera Country Club is the first time they've had the Women's US Open. They're the first time they've had a women's golf tournament. So that was kind of historic for women just to play there. And Nelly Corda is who won. She wins her first ever US Women's Open with a record breaking payout. And we watched the final moment. It was awesome. Like I got really into it towards the end when it came down to like a four way tie basically. And then we went and sat on the last hole to watch everyone finish. And like to know that if she like got that putt, she was going to win the whole thing. It was really exciting to watch. I have a question. I don't know what I've never been to a golf tournament. Yeah. As they play, the whole crowd, like thousands of people sometimes have to walk the whole course to the next day. You would have hated it. We were like, Reyna would die if she was here. So you can choose your own adventure. Like, okay. You see who you want to follow. You could follow a player all day and you'd have to walk back and forth. So you are walking the whole course with them. We walked to see certain people tee off. We had tickets to this little private club. But yeah, people are moving around all day, okay. Yeah, to see who they want to see. But yeah, you could follow a player all day. You could be like, they're caddy basically and just going around. But then everyone kind of congregates at the end to watch the big finish and like get a spot on this hill. But yeah, that sounds manageable. No, not for you. It was, I don't think you would like it. [BLANK_AUDIO]
I mean I looked at those photos and I was like that that looks hot. It wasn't hot at all I was actually a little chilly and it was sunny and it was really really nice But golf is just it's not my type of sport because I'm like loud and enthusiastic and like I like a high energy Like I'm like an NBA finals game. That's my dream game a close NBA finals game is my dream sporing about I and like obviously the Eagles playing football But you know you have to be kind of quiet you kind of got to like whisper Like you know right and then you can clap and yell out when they after they make the shot But it was it was still really fun. I'm glad I got to experience that it's really interesting I've just like never really thought about the semantics of like what you do all day Yeah, it's a lot of walking around and like you might see something happen and be like okay We got to go to the next I thought I could take breaks to eat and drink. Yeah, I could do it Kat Studio was there on site. We had a little spicy tuna roll Clear. Yeah, it's nice. So I just wanted to say that congrats to Nellie Corta and we love to see you know a woman Make history in anyway. Yeah, okay Let's just take a quick break and then we will get back into it Okay, so I discovered a company called bi optimizers a few years ago after I'd had surgery and I was really struggling to sleep and I was just like stressed and up at like 4am with my heart racing and so my doctor recommended them to me and magnesium breakthrough by bi optimizers It just like became part of my nightly routine So I sleep better.

It's this girl She's like tall thin beautiful shelves in New York and she's like walks in her beautiful apartment And she makes herself this like big meal and she's like this is my Saturday and I have no friends and like caught me off guard I've never really heard somebody like Influenced by saying with their whole chest. I don't have friends if there's a lot of it I mean there's a ton of it. I mean I'm an alley loneliness influencer. I'm like hi But yeah, like POV your single woman with no kids and no friends tonight You know when the here's what you're doing you come home and like cook dinner and have it by yourself And it's it's they're enjoying it. That's I think there's a spectrum I mean, I've seen certainly like people who are just I'm genuinely an introvert This is how I like to spend my time and then there's some people who have trauma and that's the darker side of it too But we're kind of talking about from the lighter side and some of these people have hundreds of thousands of followers Well, they I want to say that they glamorize being alone But I think like a lot of people are alone a lot of people in situations where they are lonely They don't partner. They don't have a ton of friends. They live in a city for whatever reason They don't have a lot of community around them and like it does make it look like okay You can have like a night yourself you can come home and clean your lovely apartment Make yourself a nice meal and watch TV. I mean, it just it makes it look lovely Yeah, but I have those nights and so do you and I'm not like I have no friends. They do you want a friend? I think I mean You want to live like that? That's fine, but If you want friends, but you're spending all your time creating content I would spend a little less time creating content more time getting out there trying to meet people I just think everybody needs heroes. I mean, I think this makes people feel seen But is it aspirational like I don't know, you know, like I think that you manifest what you put out into the world Like if you are somebody who's like I want friends. I want connection I think we all need human connection. We're wired for human connection Not to have a million friends, but to have these relationships in our life I mean not to get too deep with it But if you're making a living creating content on how lonely and friendless I am I don't really think you're helping yourself find those friends and I thought it was really funny to think that These people might be exaggerating or not telling the full truth and that was an article, too Like it begs the question like are these people is this true or are these people just trying to like monetize this I think it's funny to if you are Acting like this like it's you're faking it and you have to tell your friends like don't tell your friends And like your friends come out and they're like, I'm a friend. She's not lonely. She has friends like you get outed by your friend like people They have to tell their friends like don't comment on this Right like someone's like we just had the good girls in her last night. She's a fraud I think it's like very funny to think about that. I don't know I go back and forth about it because I just think that like people there's a lot of people in this world They're lonely and don't have community whether you wanted or not I think you still want to see like representation that like other people can have a nice life and Be void I guess of community, but I think we say it over and over like when people are like, you know I want friends. I want a partner you have to leave the house to do that And I think that we've over glamorized staying in the bed not going out not having plans in society and yeah That will drive societies further apart I think we all thrive from human connection and even at my lowest moments when I don't want to be around people I know that's the thing that will fix that is being around people Yeah, this we can kind of joke about it. I mean loneliness influencer made me laugh just the term itself But I can't really get on board with glamourizing Having no friends like I can get on board with having a moment in your life where things have happened and you find yourself here That's fine You know what I mean? And again, I think people really need to feel seen but we need human connection and friendships and relationships And some people need more than others and some people are naturally introverted. So I'm all about A night in with yourself and enjoying your own company and glamorizing that but I have no one in my life is I think if he people are putting this out there it should be like and that's not necessarily what I want But I'm dealing with it instead of aspire to be me. That's interesting because you think that like the piece that it's missing is them saying like I'm doing my best with what I got right here No, I think people just you know take it with a grain of salt You know I saw this woman eating Thanksgiving dinner and she was like I again I think she'd moved to a new city. I don't have any friends or families just I don't have any friends or family Which is really just like cut steep I just really felt for her and like so many people were in the comments where she was in Florida I think and they were like what part of Florida come all come over come eat with me next she's like no No, no, you're ruining the loan it's influencing it felt really genuine and really like She was sad and she got on there because she wanted to have some interaction and okay, so that's different though
- Yeah, loneliness influence. - Yeah, like loneliness influence is crazy to me. That's all I'm saying. And that woman, it's like, I hope she found some people who also were like, I'm in the same boat. And I hope that the loneliness influence or are also finding friends by doing this. - I don't think that's the point. - Not the life you should want to live. - I think that's not the point. I think the, I think it's like really sweet when someone's like, I don't have anybody and then people flood their comments like, come here. And loneliness influence is like, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh. That's not the point. - That's not the brand. I'm not allowed to have friends for this brand deal. - I mean, it's kind of like tradwifing though. It's like, you are, by nature of being a tradwife on the internet and making content, you are a fraud because you are making a bunch of money. - No, seriously, because if you are, if you become the most famous loneliness influencer, millions of followers, everyone knows who you are. - Your fraud. - People are gonna be looking for you on the streets with friends, trying to find you out. - Yes, sending you drinks at the bar, trying to date you. And you're like, you're gonna ruin my whole thing. So like, by the nature of putting this on the internet, you are sort of like undermining what you've set out to do which is to be allowed. We took this too deep, but if you guys want more, I read this article in the cut. Again, we both saw the same post and we're like, we gotta talk about this. We'll come up with that name, really. Okay, so we just wanna do a quick TV report on what's going on. So we're recording this before the summer house finale, but I mean, it has just kind of been like, we wanted we to a lot of the same. And so we're gonna just give our thoughts, I guess, in feelings and hopefully nothing crazy happens. Number three, but I think week over week it's sort of been the same thing. West is not really gonna speak up. A man is not really gonna defend herself. The thing that I find the most interesting about this whole reunion is if a man that had just walked out there and said to Kyle, you verbally abused me and humiliated me on national television for a decade. And I tolerated it. You repaid me by cheating on me all the time. And I'll fuck whoever I want. I'll fuck your dad if I want. She would have shot this dad. She would have gotten some people on her side. And it's interesting, I wonder why she won't stick up for herself a little bit more. And I know it's not her nature. I know that that's what they've always said about her on this show. And then if she also just said, I'm sorry Sierra, that your collateral damage of how selfish this has made me and how entitled this has made me, this reunion would have been 20 minutes instead of 12 hours. Yeah, it's interesting because you're coming at it from how you would act. And it's like, she's so outside of the way any of us would act. Amanda is, I've said before, she's blinded by being a pick me. She is not reasoning the way you would. I don't know if she's sat down with the publicist and we're like, here's some tips. Here's how to maybe get some sympathy and get some people back on your side. I mean, to your point, if she said anything like, I'll fuck who I want, people are like, you're a shitty friend. I just mean the notion of that. Just stick up for yourself. Yeah, I mean, she's not acting how any stable, self-aware person would. And so you can't put yourself in her shoes. I don't know what she's doing, but we do find it really interesting the way people are rewriting history about their marriage. And no one is really calling Kyle out for the way he was all these years. And I said to you that it would be Sierra, is she's the one that would do it. She's the one that's always done it. That's why she was such a good friend to Amanda. And of course, she's not gonna do it now, nor should she. But it's like, who would do it? We were saying we're surprised. Andy doesn't push back a little bit more, but Kyle has been made into this hero white night. And again, people can change. And he could be a great husband the next time around, but he wasn't. And people are really trying to misremember the way that this went down. But it's like, who's supposed to say something? And it's like, it should have obviously be Amanda, but she just looks so beaten down and she's not gonna do it. And then West, is it really gonna do it? West tried a little, I don't say this in defense of him, but he tried a little to be like, Kyle, you called her a fucking bitch when I was there. You know, this and that. And so it is interesting that way that he is really been made out to be this hero, but because of what she did. I mean, again, she just lit her life on fire in the craziest way. I'll never, I'll never understand. I'm just, I'm fascinated by it. Two wrongs don't make a right. You know, I think they both did was wrong, but like there is really something to be said by her coming out and at least trying to reason with the audience what I have been through for all these years is really hard. And it changes the way your brain works. Yes, yes, yes. It changes your decision making. And yeah, of course I went towards the first other man that gave me attention at the sacrifice of my good friends. This is who I've become. And that's not an excuse, but that is just the reality of things. And everybody crowding around Kyle, like we forget, by the way, I'm the first person to say, I do think that we don't know what went on by and closed doors. I didn't recognize him a lot all the time. And people can change and all the things. Sure, all the things. But everybody is just the way they're rallying around him. And by the way, like, why is this not his best friend? It's a good friend. It isn't a coworker. And I'm sure it still hurts and it's terrible. But she didn't have an affair and she didn't cheat on him. He cheated on her. But she didn't like have an affair with his best friend. Neither of those things happened. Yeah, it's interesting. And everything just got swept under the rug. So I mean, that's the thing. I don't love about it. But yeah, you and I could sit here all day and write incredible things for Amanda to say. You know, we could really PR her ass. And I'm sure other people have tried. But she's making decisions that none of us would ever make. We cannot be inside her head. And so whatever I agree. And whatever happens tonight, I think that unfortunately, her punishment is this is the life she has to live now. And she has sacrificed everything for this person, who was clearly dating other women while he was dating her and sleeping with other women. And her punishment will be that she gave up all these brand deals and all this fan love. And I don't know if she'll be invited back for summer house or not. But she gave up everything for this. And it's an interesting choice to not be sitting there next to that person saying, with your whole chest, we're in love. This is rock solid. That's because it's not the truth. It's not the truth. If anything, I mean, I don't know. I think she is like, my life is ruined on my own accord. And like, maybe she thinks like Sierra is responsible for that in a misguided way. Because we don't understand why she's not apologizing to Sierra. And maybe we will have seen that. So I don't want to speak too much about it. I feel like I was watching your friends and neighbors and Olivia Munn's character, apologize to Amanda Pete's character. And she did it so beautifully. And she's like, I think about this every day. This is like taken over my life. The language she was using and this apology, again, this is a fictional show. I was like, that's what Amanda should be doing. You could chat. You could chat, you could chat, you be tea this. And be like, this is better. It was perfect. Like, I was like, this is the-- Why I was watching this apology? And I was like, what is this memory? Like, what is this bringing up for me? I'm like, how Amanda should be acting in a three-union? I mean, two seconds into the first half. She's screaming, it's here, fuck off. I mean, it's shocking. So I mean, this will be over tonight. Maybe we'll learn something new. But I do just think it's going to be a lot more of the same. And life will go on. And the city will continue, I guess. And we'll recast Summer House. And like, she's going to have to be with West. And who knows how long that's going to last. But that's a bleak existence as well. Yeah. So Love Island is back. And I just wanted to say one thing. Because we went to a premiere party for season 8. And people were watching it. But it was also a party. So we were like sitting with some people and talking. But it was on all the TV. So I was seeing it. And I don't watch the show. And it has nothing to do with not respecting it. And I think it looks great. People are obsessed with it. I'm not being to pick me about it. It's just something that I never really made the time for. And I want to. But I'm watching it on these screens. And I'm like, there is so much making out in terms of volume and intensity. Well, this is what the UK people are saying as well. I don't see this that often. Well, so I just was like, is this the show? I just figured this was normal. And as it turns out, not really. So I saw everyone saying that this was more making out than they'd ever seen. I mean, the door is open. And they're just supposed to start making out. And have you seen this cast? I would be too. I know. I would be like, thank god this is our first assignment. I know I did that dumb little music video. But this is the payback. The music video was wild. I think I-- I feel like I drank a whole drink and ate a couple of slices of pizza and the music video was still going. I think it's five minutes. I think I had a full meal. I think it's four minutes long. Like, we moved locations. We were inside that we went outside. I was like, the music video was still on. Multiple servers came by and gave us food. And no one eats an L.I. besides us. But I just was validated. And I was like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm witness to this my first time. And that's the thought I had. And actually, everybody who watches the show was echoing that as well. But the UK is less, right? It's not even close. What's going on? It's like spring break energy. Like, it is just like when you just walk up to somebody and make out with them. And also that jogs my memory. We wanted to mention this. So Kyle, DJed in Dewey Beach last weekend. He was DJed at North Beach at bar. We've been to a million fucking times again. As you guys know, it's just like pretty much my hometown. And we're always there. And it was like, the craziest crowd I think he's ever had. He posted. He posted that. He posted how wild Dewey Beach was. But this video was on Du Moire. And he's-- I think he was at the cork now. This point, he was no longer at his set. So he was probably at the cork at jam. And he was like kind of behind like a stanchion thing. And this fan goes up to him. And I guess she's like, Kyle, I love you, whatever. And he just like makes out with her. And I posted under in the comments of Du Moire. I said, this is basically a handshake in Dewey Beach. And that's really how it be. I mean, we would just always be making out. It was giving love to Island. Everybody. Kyle, this 40-year-old man, he just making out with strangers. 43. And she just walks right up. And they just make out. And people are also saying that he's dating Sally Carson from Southern Charm. But right now, when you saw that video of Kyle Cook, weren't you like-- and you definitely did that in your marriage. Totally. A hundred percent. I mean, that like it was nothing. I mean, I've seen Kyle get drunk. So of you, I mean, I've seen how drunk he gets. I mean, it's nothing so different than what you guys see on television.
And I see how blacked out this man gets. He doesn't know what he's doing. - But that was so, like, that was so dewy beach. Like, just be kissing. - I mean, remember that day, I mean, I was like four guys? - It's Reyna's first dreamt in dewy. She even held four people in a day. - In a day, I just thought it was you. - It was just like a handshake. - I mean, it was a dewy beach. - I think Kyle and Brace Star culture. - Yes. So good for him for that. And lastly, we still, we were gonna talk about this 'cause I told you guys to watch it. - Oh, that. - The crash. But now I feel like I've lost a little momentum, but I don't wanna, I don't wanna mislead you guys. So, this show was crazy. And this teenage girl, spoilers ahead, this was based on, completely based on a story. She's in this documentary. - Based on a story. - It's a documentary. - Because it's based on a true story that it's a documentary. But she's in it. And I mentioned that Hulu airs the show called "Me and Girl Martyrs." And so this is based on a true story. A documentary in your words about Mackenzie Skrilla. And she was a teenager who got in this terrible accident with her boyfriend and a friend of theirs and both of them ended up dying and she was behind the wheel. And very quickly, this went from this poor girl. How could this happen? She's responsible to this too. She did this on purpose. And this turns into a murderous investigation almost immediately. And she is now in prison for I think 30 years with a chance of parole after 15 years. - It was a little unclear. - Yes, a chance for all. - And it's really shocking. I learned so much in this because basically they, there's a black box in cars, which I had no idea existed. But what they did was they figured out how fast the car was going in the last seconds of the crash and that there was no breaking. And that she had continued to accelerate at 100 miles an hour and she never broke. And then you can also see that the car was put from drive and the neutral. So these guys were trying to save their own lives. - And they grabbed the wheel too. Yeah, basically it's just your car's data is being recorded. You know of what you're doing and this, it's a known technology that like her lawyer should have known they would be able to pull. You know get a car accident and you can pull the data from the car like Shashank does this at work. When someone says I'm out the car, he's like we can pull the data, we have the receipts. So yeah, so full gas, 100% like gas and 100 miles an hour she got up to and she crashed into this building and they had pulled the data that clearly the guys in the car were pulling the steering wheel, which was like crazy to hear. And a few things, you know, she is like, she just lines that she doesn't remember it at all. She shows like no remorse they have her in which they do a prison interview, which is wild. - And there was a drug test that she was not undressed. So like a little bit of weed, whatever. But there's so many things about this that are so wild. Like the way she pops up in the prison, it's like what happened? Like I saw so many TikToks like where did this accident come from? You know she has come was like a Latina act. - She leaned in. - Yeah, she has this hairdo and really she talks to her lawyers at one point, which she doesn't think that's going to be included in Netflix, she uses to air it of her being basically like did I do okay. And she really is showing no remorse and she's stuck by this narrative that she doesn't remember any of this and she blacked out and she had a medical condition and her parents are enabling this a whole time. And Davian is not her, he's the other guy that was in the car not her boyfriend and so he died as well. And like he had these adopted parents and they were probably the most sound minds of the whole documentary and the dad says basically I'm paraphrasing here but I would be happy with her being in jail for 15 years but she's never going to like own up to what she did. Like she's going to live this lie forever. This is going to eat her alive. Like if she just would have been like I don't know, we got in a fight and I don't really know what happened and like owned up to it in any way showed the appropriate amount of remorse and wanted to change but instead she's got her mom calling her every day from prison and these calls, they're all over TikTok being like we made the news in the UK, maybe Kim Kardashian will get me out of jail like the way that the parents have enabled this girl her whole life and still continue to do it even though it's pretty apparent that she's responsible for the deaths of two people is wild. - I've never seen anybody walk a line like this where there's, there doesn't seem to be any remorse because I think she's like remorse will show that I did this on purpose. - Yes. - But there doesn't seem to be an extreme fight against like I did not do this under any circumstances. You guys have to believe me this was not on purpose. Like she's just really up the middle with it which makes you think she would yell in scream and kick and shout I didn't do this, had nothing to do. I, you know, like this is whatever you guys think was misinterpreted, like I did not do this. I mean she's, that's not the vibe either. - Yeah, but I did not do this, what did she do that? Like she either has to say I don't know when I don't remember where she has to own up to it. I don't, or else what she's going to say, like he pushed my leg on the pedal, you know, like he did this. But she just had a shitty lawyer, like if she, and I'm not saying that I want her to have a lesser sense but it's like if she would have had Karen Reed's team, like her lawyer was so bad that he was just like, there's no proof and you got this, you could tell. Like because why wasn't there a plea deal? Like why did he not know they'd get the car data? Like my question is like there is also no proof that she did do it on purpose but they're saying the car data is the proof. Like don't you need a motive to, don't you need like evidence and a motive and tax messages? Like, I mean, yeah, it was interesting. They chose not to have a jury. But I'm just watching this and I'm like, she got outloyered. Like, yeah. Whoever they fucked them, this family hired, literally was like we got this without considering so many other things. And then they pulled her social media and all that. I mean, she just is like a mean girl and that's the picture they tried to paint. But do you think she wanted, was like I'm going to kill us all? Like there's no way this girl maneuvered the car so she lived. Nope, there's no way. She crashed a car into a building in a hundred miles an hour on purpose. Like I think this was a really unstable young woman. I think that like a lot of 17 year olds voled to relationship, a lot of jealousy and fighting and you know, she's living with him also at the time. She was living with her parents. This is not like a parented child. And I think that there's people at that time in their life that are just like I'm so mad at you, I will kill both of us. Like I can't imagine that mindset but like I think she's a very troubled girl that was just like I will kill you and myself at the same time and so what if there's someone else in the car? I just, it makes me like so sad and so sick, especially for Deviant's family. I know. But she's just never had any consequences. I mean, you watch a girl that her dad says he would come like pick her up at school if she got in trouble and he was like did you do it? And she would be like no, and he'd be like good, I know my kid. And you watch what happens when parents enable their kids their whole life and don't give them any consequences. And she really thought she was going to get away with this. And I just find it such a fascinating story and you guys should check it out. And again, there's that mean girl martyrs you can watch as well, which I think is a lot more in depth. But it's like I wonder what this girl's dealing with in prison. Like that lie, which is very clearly lie to me, to the judge of I don't remember anything that happened is going to eat her alive. And it's like if I was in charge of a parole, I'd be like when you give us any bit of truth, we'll consider it. That's all they're waiting for. I know. And she got out lawyer, you're right. Like I think you could have argued the other side of it, which is just like the car just was out of control and it was an accident. I really don't know. But like I think she got out lawyer because there's no motive. They didn't prove any motive at all. Other than she should kind of mean online and they would fight every once in a while. But like there's no real motive to have killed him. So like another lawyer could have been like, okay, well that's what the car data says. Like maybe they pushed her foot down on the gas. And they're not here to say they didn't, which is a morbid thought. But like another a better lawyer might have thought of that. And I feel weird even saying this, but it's like I watch this happen. And it's just like, I don't know, I'm fascinated in the legal side of it too. And I'm not saying you should be getting people out of bad things that they did, but why was there never even like a plea deal? Like that was even on the table. He was just like, we got this. No, you don't. She just like won't. And her parents also enable her not helping herself. She's just like, I don't know who's to say. Okay, well that's the crash you guys.

OK, we're going to give you guys your headlines and send you off. So this was really a sleeper. I didn't see this happening. I didn't know that this is the hero that we all needed and Hunter Biden, an viral social media post reclaims his narrative. So Hunter Biden is really on one on Twitter right now. And if you guys my favorite account on Instagram that kind of like aggregates all these tweets is just Hunter Biden tweets. And he has been so funny. It's insane. So Donald Trump called him so that he had a checkered past and he said, wait, did he just say checkered past? I'm 28 felonies, six bankruptcies and an Epstein bromance short of his checkered past. So Hunter Biden is seven years sober. OK, and a lot of this is like him getting on to reclaim his narrative. And he's back and forth talking to people who have had problems or currently problems with drugs and alcohol and all the stuff and talking to all of them. And he's just really on this journey of sobriety. And he posted seven years sober today. This was on June 1st. Thank you to everyone who has walked this road with me. And someone commented bullshit. That was your bag of Coke in the White House. And he commented back, it most definitely was not. I would have never forgotten my drugs. It's my favorite of all of them. Unbelievable. I mean, he is just really on one. He has leaned into this persona. He's like, yeah, I did these things. Like, it's so funny. And I just, like, it's crazy to be like, he is just like in this like antagonistic war with the president. It's just so beneath what a president should be. But yeah, this is like what people are at. And you know, he's just like, you have nothing on me. You know, like, I've been completely open to transparent about my life. He writes, so let me get this straight. Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my mom, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land. Don junior married the daughter of Epstein's banker and a startup, his fund backs, just got a record of 620 million pentagon loan. Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for 1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted. And I know, but what about your paintings, Hunter, please? And that someone writes, you sound better for someone who benefited from a stolen erection typo. He writes, I've never stolen an erection in my life. I love to see someone who just there, I mean, he doesn't have much to lose. Everyone is going to say about Hunter Biden that has not been said over and over and over again. Jesus Christ. That's like a real hero in dark times. It's just like, you can't take anything else from me. I've lost everything. Right. And also, like, I know where the bodies are buried. Like, I know this stuff, like your time to sober. I'm clear headed. Come for me. Try it on the son of a president, ask barely alive, ask president. It's not always like a knot with it at all. Like, I'd love to see the two of them on a debate stage. Talking all the shit. He's just like in a rap battle with like an unworthy opponent. And it's so funny to watch. So, so and a lot of it is people thinking this isn't him. And so I did consider that. Like, was this really not him? I never once considered it. What else is he doing? Like, of course, he's writing these. Like, I never once thought, like, everyone's like, Oh, your PR team, this and that. And he's like, this is all me, bitches. Well, why wouldn't it be him? You know, because I was like, this is too good to be true. That's what it feels like a comedian is doing this. Like, how could we be this lucky that this is really happening? We're headed. I mean, is he a little hot or is that so? Let's see that coming. It's just the comedy. I'm the bar. That's a new crush alert. Hunter. I mean, if you're good at weed at us, do I like a sober guy? Unfortunately. Okay. Well, in our next headline of what are men up to, Tom Brady, you guys, I thought this was a onion article. Tom Brady launches good, nut, coconut water line. I feel like every week, he gives me another reason to like him recently. I mean, his renaissance is my favorite thing in the world. But what did these meetings look like? Good, nut. Yeah. Come water. Let's go with it. Good, nut. I mean, it does have a coming look to it. Yes, coconut water. It's coming. Reina, good, nut. I mean, sign me. I'm just surprised. He takes himself so serious anymore. No one's ever taken themselves more seriously. But then he's like wrapped in a blanket. Like, what are y'all doing on Sunday? And like, good nut. He doesn't anymore though. Like, I feel like he had to keep it dialed in, locked in for so long. And then he did the roast. And then it was just like the wheels cave off. Like, I am obsessed with everything he does. Like, I want to invest in this. I want to be carried it around. This is just like the best thing I've ever seen. Do you think he did this? Because like, he thought like would make Alex or Olaf. I think that's over. You know, I think totally. I think that's long gone. So good, nut, coconut water line with go puff in market expected to reach $11 billion by 2030. Well, we hate wealth hoarding. We hate that. But sure, well, I'm sure anything he touches will be a billion dollar company. Do you like coconut water? I didn't. And then I had one a couple of days ago. And I was like, I think that that's good. I like it ice cold. Yeah. That's a good nut. I had it the other day. Sometimes I feel that it tastes just a little murky. It has to be ice cold. Remember when I went wedding dress shopping, that was the best I've ever had. Remember these served as that ice cold cold water at on block? And I like a little bit of the scraps from the actual coconut in it. So there's three flavors. Original chocolate and sparkling chocolate, sparkling cup water, chocolate, chocolate, yum. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing, Tom Brady. All right. It was announced yesterday that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater quietly split. So allegedly, they've been broken up for a little bit. I mean, I'll say one thing about Ariana Grande. She likes to break up a relationship. She's not trying to stay in them. Yeah. I mean, yeah, her whole history. She's been in the middle of a lot of relationships that have ended. It's just like there was a lot riding them to stay together. I mean, he was married. Do they have children? I think he left his wife and very young baby, baby for her. And whatever. I can't remember all the timelines. But it's like, I felt like they needed to really be in it. Were they married? No, they were not married. I'm right, right. It was two years ago. I think in the summer, I think I was on my way to some European trip when I first heard of this. I mean, they really like blew up. That guy blew up his life for this. And this is just like her MO. I mean, yeah, you know, you should know who you're dealing with. I know. Ariana wants some end relationships to try to stay in them. I hope they had a good run. Yeah. I hope it was worth it. Ethan. And lastly, the LA mayor race. They finally counted all the mail-in ballots, which I think people don't really understand how that works. You can mail your ballot in up until election days, which takes a minute to get all of them in. Whatever. So Spencer Pratt is out. Karen Bass and Nithya Rahman are going to advance. Of course, they are saying it was rigged and that he really did win, which, you know, I don't like to call people stupid, but if you believe that, you're asking for it. Historically, blue state, blue city,
this and a guy that wasn't experienced. You really think this was Rick come on you guys. Like historical data would show. He never stood a chance. I mean, I would hope that this was the real outcome. I would hope that somebody who has no experience whatsoever was not voted in. It doesn't seem like so crazy. Like maybe if this was a deep red area, you could believe this was sus. So he said that if he doesn't win, he will leave the state. Do you think he says he made a statement that he said? I don't know. I saw him popping off about some stuff. And at one point, he posted like a meme of like me trying to figure out how votes are counted. And it's like that is so antagonistic. Like you ran for this office and you don't know how the votes are counted. It takes a minute to get the votes in. And also like rigged it. You never, what do you mean rigged? Karen Bass, like clearly won this in a pretty much a landslide. Like it was rigged for second place. I don't like I'm just like, what are you guys talking about? Like his followers, I'm just Jesus knows. And then Lisa Rina's popping off. Like, no, we fucking hate him. And this wasn't rigged. I was seeing all these Lisa Rina thread clap at me. 'Cause she's in LA and she's like, no, no one wanted this to happen. And it's like, I just can't believe that LA, this progressive place, obviously this happened. Any data would show that it was always going to happen this way. So anyway, that's what's going on there. And now it will run off with Karen Bass and Nithya Rahman and will most likely be Karen Bass and, you know, go off Lisa Rina, okay.
