The Snack: Poop Girl Summer, Jay-Z30, and a Political Plot Twist

The episode blends personal commentary, viral culture, and current events into a lively, conversational format. A central theme is the internet's obsession with curly hair gatekeeping, where Reina’s hair type is revealed to be wavy, sparking an online backlash and a deeper discussion about hair identity and cultural appropriation. The host humorously links this to a broader trend called "poop girl summer," referencing a nationwide cyclospora outbreak that causes explosive diarrhea, while critiquing food safety lapses. The episode also explores celebrity news, including the split of Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley, the unconfirmed existence of a dog for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and the controversial death of Senator Lindsey Graham. The host strongly criticizes the hypocrisy in celebrating such figures, especially amid their history of opposing LGBTQ+ rights, and questions the ethics of public mourning. A fake “proof of life” photo of Mitch McConnell is dismissed as AI-generated, further highlighting internet satire. The show promotes wellness and lifestyle brands, from wireless plans to supplements and fashion. A funny story of a Spurs staffer being fired after exposing an affair concludes with a reflective tone on nature’s dangers and the emotional impact of Jay-Z’s concerts. The tone remains engaging, blending personal anecdotes with social commentary, all while maintaining a light, accessible, and often humorous style.

this week on the snack poop girl summer jay-z at yankee stadium and r.i.p lady g this is a dear media production enjoy the way you said poop girl summer girl summer poop girl summer we'll get into it get excited coming to you live from the toilet um i am very excited to talk about this i knew last week when we recorded we were talking about whether your hair was curly or wavy and i knew that you said it was curly i knew people were going to be like girl it's wavy curly haired people have a lot of opinions and i woke up early this morning i'm obviously in new york you're in la um and by like 7 a.m there was like six comments about it no there's there's dozens this so this is monday's episode by the way so the most recent episode on monday so we're coming to you just days later with a fresh report but yeah i mean the curl police was out in full effect and listen i said this i i don't care i i don't need to appropriate curly hair culture like i was just like you guys tell me but someone wrote in the comments purposely summoning the curly hair police is so brave and so i i did that and i didn't know but here's the thing reina and then we will get into it reina has been saying she has curly or wavy hair either or for years i have yet once to see it in nine years one time i said show me she said here's a picture she was nine years old like pull pull it up do it for an episode why have we had 300 episodes now you no one's ever seen it like you're you just you have you're just you're just not gonna show it like don't be shy don't gatekeep it let people weigh in on you too because i'm sick of hearing about it nine years people avalanche commented against me dms like crazy girl you don't curly hair don't appropriate our culture and then i kept trying to post things being like look it's curly and people really put me in my place and i was like oh my god i'm not gonna show the curly hair people put me in my place reina i don't even know if it's wavy i don't know what you're doing you've been saying this and you've been like just spewing this narrative for nine years and i saw one childhood photo of you in nine years you saw me wavy okay you saw me wavy you've seen it wavy i learned last week that you have wavy hair okay so you have been gatekeeping the fact that you have wavy hair last week i learned i haven't done my hair curly over the years your hair has a little bit of a bend to it i don't want to drive naturally i don't know that any i don't know that i'd call it 2a i'll send you photos i'll send you photos someone said i think she broke it down pretty well she said ashley you have type 2b slash 2a combo type hair curls with a few strands of 2c i'm also sorry today guys i didn't do it curly today i feel like i'm trolling you and i'm wearing a hat but anyway she said with a few strands of 2c so those are those ones underneath if you want it to be more curly you need to train it okay with there's a whole curly girl method check out the video tutorials on ig or tiktok thank you katie i mean train it curly girl like everyone's like girl you can get there like all the some some comments are kind of like negs which is whatever weird energy but most of them are like girl it's wavy but you can get curly if you train it right like what are we doing like i don't know what these curly girl methods are like i'll look into it but i thought it was like you're born with it or you're not i thought so too but no apparently if you don't use it um you don't lose it you can and people that have had curly hair their whole lives and been dealing with this their whole lives they're like don't appropriate my problems okay yeah oh all the respect that's fine i'm not trying to i'm not arguing with y'all i think a few people in the comments said it that i did have curly hair and i'm sure they've gotten bullied off the internet since but a few people were like that's curly but i guess they don't really know but i think it's really funny that people know their hair type like they're like i'm a i'm a 4c or like people know it like they know their bra size and i know so now i guess i am 2a slash 2b with a few strands of 2c and i'm going to step up my training routine and then maybe i'll get to i don't know what's next to three i think it goes up to four and then some people say there's fives i don't i don't really know but um people know this shit so you know what's so crazy is like i you know you hear stuff a lot of times you're like i'm not part of the culture but i do know about the existence of xyz i don't know about the existence i've never heard of the concept that there are like categories of different types of curls of course there are because i'm like oh yeah that makes sense but i don't never heard of this in my life well i did know this and i always known of like two three four and especially with black women like they want to go to salons that can do their hair you know what i mean like i think that and it's not just black women but people with really tight coils of any race like i've just seen a lot surrounding that of like if you have a certain type of coil or curl or type of hair that's texture you have to go to a place that can style that type of hair i've seen that before but i just you know that's not something that it's not something i have to really think about so your hair is great people love your hair i just i think it's so funny the amount of comments that this inspired i just you know i want to talk about serious stuff i want to talk about deep serious meaningful stuff but this is what the people care about okay side tucks side should we be side tucking our shirts and is your hair curly this is what people care about okay i will talk about i will talk about important deep introspective topics but this is what the people want to want to know that's what they want well you guys leave a comment that i did like woke up this morning there's tons of comments i was like

i can't learn about this today like i've just i've done too much in my life i can't this isn't good and then i like read about it and i was like okay this is like this is just like a normal amount of diarrhea it's not that crazy it's on lettuce it's on salads it's on like raspberries and produce the outbreak is now in 31 states there is a poop outbreak it is a diarrhea causing parasite it's called cyclo i'll do it i'll get this cyclospora no cyclosporiasis it's an infection caused by microscopic parasites i don't know i have don't doesn't everybody just have diarrhea half the time like how is everybody else living yeah i could have used this in france two weeks ago but i it's cyclospora which is that i think that's the short version it is like sounds kind of fun it's like a fun little circus show it's even like circus like i don't know cyclospora i wouldn't even call out of work for this it's just a lot of poop you know so no one has died which is good but it's thousands of cases so far what do you shit yourself to death i've died doing what i loved honestly my favorite thing to do is take a giant shit so if i died this way she would she went out doing what she loved no i mean you know what's crazy is like getting this from eating vegetables is so 2026 like that's where we are in america right now it was like the things that are supposed to be good for you is what's going to give you explosive diarrhea this country is like a literal shit show but i you know it's it could get more serious and we've cut back on the cdc and various things like i saw this thread that i thought was really funny it was like not to get political but i think we should have someone check for poop in our food you know like there's been cuts for the actual like task force it's supposed to manage the parasites and stuff in our food so i mean one day it's explosive diarrhea but it could be worse you know thousands people are affected 31 states i don't think it's hit california yet but it is it is growing it's in new york the most um oh my gosh um yeah but like you know if you get diarrhea in new york it's like who's to say i go down to the subway twice a day three times a day like who knows what i touch it's like unbelievable what i touch and it's true like of course this is happening because of who's you think you're getting diarrhea from touching the subway pole i actually have the opposite feeling and thought about my body i feel like my body is like ready for anything i have put so much shit in this body i i don't i mean i just i i don't know how i could ever really get like a parasite covid i barely got covid yeah that is true yeah okay well yeah reina's immune system is top tier you guys so the people i've put inside of me stay safe out there uh with the cyclist spore i want to be think of this um i saw this thing it said obviously 2023 was hot girl summer and then we 2024 we got brat girl summer and then in 2025 really no vibes we didn't name the summer last summer um and then this summer we poop girl summer yeah diarrhea girl summer in full swing doesn't bother me i love poop pooping okay well with that in mind i actually i'm amazed you pulled this headline because i it's another thing i just saw it and it's just like i thought about it for one second so there's these chic limited edition shit shoes and they promise healthier poops so if you look them up it's a company called let let loose let loose yes so it's coming called let loose they release these they look like platforms from the 60s like extreme platforms they're actually very cute like the design on the top is just like wavy cute and it's supposed to basically put your body into like an optimal pooping position so when your legs are kind of lifted it's supposed to put your colon where it's supposed to be and i a friend of ours our friend jackie i stayed at her place quite a and she has like a poop stool under a squatty potty so this is like an alternative to the squatty potty yes and i used it once or twice and i was like i mean but i don't have any poop issues like i mean i have tons of issues other places but like i you know i wake up every morning i poop i don't really have poop issues i have tried these before i we've all been in someone's bathroom that has a squatty potty and maybe if i'm struggling a little bit i've tried it i don't want to poop like this like i don't want to poop in a seated happy baby like i guess it is better for you it doesn't feel right to me like i know that that's what the experts say is the right position to poop in i don't want my knees under my chest i don't want my knees under my chest trying to take shit and i don't really need it and they say it's good for your health like i'm not denying that i'm not a doctor but fuck if i'm going to put these platforms on and take a shit i mean i'm also laughing thinking about are you supposed to wear these on the street like are you supposed to be walking on the street and they're like that girl has amazing gut health like are these meant to be worn out or they're in your bathroom like imagine going to someone's bathroom and they have these shit shoes just sitting there or do you keep them in your closet with your other shoes do you have like your nikes and your louboutins and your shit shoes like right next to each other no you keep them next to the toilet like where you keep a squatty potty but like i have never once in my life thought i have to take a shit and my second thought was let me go get my shoes i'm thrilled to just be near a toilet and when i poop i mean listen you know that i'm like a five-year-old when i have to go to the bathroom it is an emergency if i'm thirsty i have to pee after the bathroom i just i need to go i can't like put on fashion for it like i just want to like plant my feet on the ground drop it off and go i just i'm not gonna get dressed i'm not gonna put shoes on to poop yeah let me strap my shoes like put my platforms on to take a shit like this is another level like maybe you kind of yeah you pull over your little squatty potty i'm not knocking it if this is what helps people poop i mean it's the number one thing that keeps me going is after yes i take a after i do that in the morning you know we talked about this like a couple weeks ago with like the sluggishness and just feeling bloated like obviously it's so important so this is what helps that's great but i just can't get behind it i don't need my knees and my chest to take a shit i mean i really i feel for people that can't poop easily it's like what's really important to me is eight hours of sleep and then a poop in the morning and like if you can't or like i had a boyfriend who like used to have to get up in the middle of the night poop for an hour like whoa and like he couldn't push too hard because he'd get like anal fissures like he would have to poop for an hour in the middle of the night that's what what did he do in his previous life that is like trauma yeah that's like a death sentence that's brutal we live together and i think he got scared to poop in the mornings like in the place together i think he just like held it in all day until i went to sleep and then went pooped for an hour that's so funny you like wake up he's like you're like what is that sound yeah explosion yeah i don't listen if he i if anything could have made it easy for him to poop i'm sure he would have so check this out if you guys are watching um and let us know what you think about these shoes and if you need them that get them no judgment no shade they're cute i will say they're very cute they're better than the squatty potty yeah they are they're really you know they're retro so patent pending available in small and large sizes can help users spend less time pushing and straining on the porcelain throne yeah i mean you don't want to be straining like links that you'll get issues hemorrhoids all the things so if this is what helps you and that's your poop report you guys um moving on we have some leftover tea from taylor swift and travis kelsey's wedding just some quick little things we wanted to go over rain is gonna lead us rain is gonna get us into it rain is gonna lead us in prayer um so it was announced that jack antonoff and margaret qualley split after three years of marriage and she has since put out a statement basically people were saying like did he cheat on her because in lena dunham's book that she put out this summer um she sort of alleges that he he was not faithful to her one of the people she alleges that he was not faithful with his lord whose um album he was working on and i do think that they were in a relationship for a number of years whether or not they made that public or not but um margaret qualley and him split and i have people were like oh my god that's so crazy i knew they split on july 3rd i knew before the rest of the world knew because she wasn't at that wedding i was just like nothing could have kept a person away from that wedding unless it unless you were splitting up there's no way she wasn't there just because he was how do you how do we know who was there and who wasn't we don't know yet you just i saw she wasn't so i spent every minute just like i mean i didn't do anything i just sat in rome and just crawled on my phone i was just like okay you saw you didn't see like every single black suv and like the lists of every person that was there like i and also i watched him walk in by himself he took his sister so he okay so he brought someone else and she was allegedly filming a movie and it said like she was on set for a movie you could fly to new york from anywhere in the world to go to the okay smoking gun for sure okay yes so i knew i just was like obviously she wasn't at that wedding obviously they split up that's what i would deduce if like somebody's partner did not go to that wedding okay also absent from that wedding um jamie king and taylor swift is the godmother of her children and sophie turner who she was like running around with a lot of people and she was like running around with a lot of people for quite some time joe jonas is joe jonas's ex one of the jonas's exes um so i i noticed that they weren't there either but on the heels of that obviously like lively and ryan reynolds weren't there and people are kind of speculating and this is just a rumor but i have read that they were invited and um chose not to come because they didn't want to take any attention away from taylor no that's right we are not i need i knew you'd like that we can't we i feel like that's the dumbest shit i've ever heard that camp is that really what people are saying yeah it's an article i don't even want to give this any air time i knew you'd like this no that's not it it's like they can't be okay they just have the drama would take away from the most famous person in the world people aren't saying people are not saying people dead ass with this i'll send it to you i mean just people are wildly this is just like a reddit thread is this just something you saw i've seen tiktoks i've seen tiktok i actually would never go on reddit ew um no i've seen tiktoks about it uh and it just made me laugh so hard that anybody would even think that i'm i'm pretty sure taylor swift is pretty secure about the fact that no one could take attention away from her and i'm pretty sure most brides are pretty secure even that aren't taylor swift that's not a that's not a thing because it's they know that there would be more gossip surrounding them not being there than being there don't you think i guess it would be equal no i think i actually totally agree with you i think if they walked in the door people would be like wow that's pretty crazy they must have made up i think them not being there people wildly speculate either way either way you know it's going to be talked about okay well i'm going to take the lead on the last item about taylor and travis which is that they might have a dog so a dog has appeared coming off of a private jet this fluffy white polar bear is this true like a zoldy's more info we're all intrigued immediately what is happening they get a dog they get married they got a dog i thought she was a single cat lady and then she gets married and she becomes a dog person i people the adrenaline is coursing through my veins at this dog like i love the vibe of this dog like i'm sure it's not a rescue but reina if it is if taylor travis rescued a dog on the swifty i might be a chiefs fan if they have rescued a dog in need no i would never you guys go birds but i'm just saying like i love this i don't know it gave me such a rush this morning that they could have this like big fucking dog you know i love big dog i'm a big dog girl i have to tell you something that you've been fighting for a long time but i know and we all know is that you are a swifty and listen you've you fight it but you like her i do like her you think swifty qual like the qualification is that like you look for easter eggs in her music is that what you think yeah and you had to have gone to the heiress tour that's like qualification number one i think you're beyonce fan but you're not beehive totally that's true no i just i don't i'm not a swifty is it's a different level yeah i like i like her music and i i feel like i defend her more because she has this like disproportionate hate and um but you know she's not without criticism of course and we have gone down that road as well but if she's gonna have a big fucking dog i mean okay you're right we're just seeing it yeah i mean the heiress tour was one of the best nights in my life it's not even close so yeah i guess i'm a little closer to that than you are but the headlines are funny because they're just like taylor and travis alleged dog. Alleged dog. It is a dog. But the head's giving seemingly ranch. This alleged dog. It is and people so it's just Travis walking the headline was like walking off his wife's private plane which I was like oh that's so cute with this dog but I guess it could be a friend's dog too. Like was he, did he have the leash? Like are we is this just fan fiction at this point? Like the headlines are insane. Page six. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's mystery dog makes a big debut in Florida. Like what in the world? The dog arrives in Palm Beach. Like this is breaking news as we record you guys. Okay but can I also ask you a question because like as this happened I was like they didn't tell me they got a dog. That's crazy. I can't believe they didn't tell me. But like do we know all the stars that have dogs? Like I started thinking like am I familiar with every star and their pets? No. Like I can't name most stars and their pets. Like I don't know if they have pets or not. Yeah. We saw Sabrina Carpenter, that dog. That dog made a big splash. And I think it's just obviously like Taylor and Travis if they were to get a dog. I mean she's this like notorious legendary cat lady. And also just seeing this dog come off the PJ. I mean it's just crazy. Like and then what would they name it? Like I don't know. Like I think Taylor Swift, she would name it something like poetic. Like she would name it like Mirrorball or something. Like that. And then Travis would name it like Spike. I don't know. Some like legendary NFL player is the vibe. I feel like he would name it like Tom. Tom or Brett or Troy. No, you're right. I just, I mean, are we sure that Travis didn't always have a dog at home? Like I just I'm just trying to think like do I know any stars? Could I name any other pets? Could I honestly say I like know that they do or do not have a pet? No. Other than Taylor Swift, it's just like yes, notorious for being this cat lady. I can't even imagine her engaging with a dog. It would be like watching a dog walk on its hind legs. I just, I can't. Her dog voice? I can't even imagine. I can't imagine such a thing. Like what would she do with a dog? I just, something about it it really spoke to me and I think it was just but Taylor's not in the photos. It's like Travis just is just like traveling with this dog. Like we are again, we are just speculating and we are fan fiction-ing this that these two got married and got a dog, but it's a developing story. It does, it just looks unnatural to me.

I woke up yesterday, diva down so shocked so I woke up Sunday morning to Shashank telling me this first thing and I was like surely this man knows the difference between Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, like I was like certain he saw a picture of Mitch McConnell that said bigot senator dies and he got twisted up in his head, like I was like surely there's no way that this, and he's like actually it's a different bigot senator but that this wasn't on anyone's bingo card, I mean this is so crazy considering, which we will talk about Mitch McConnell and his quote unquote proof of life, but like this came out of nowhere and again if you guys are of course you know, Lindsey Graham, long time senator from South Carolina, often referred to as Lady G, passed away from essentially heart disease and you know people of course have mixed feelings, I mean you know, it's he doesn't have the best track record and has caused harm for different communities and you know, he was also in the senate a long time and worked with a lot of people for years and years and so there's certainly been mixed reactions to it, but I didn't know if you saw the Instagram post from the trans actress Jessie James Rose, did you see this? Like first thing, I mean this is the first thing Shashank read to me, like he saw it immediately So my only real knowledge about Lindsey Graham is because Thomas Ravenel ran against him on Southern Charm in season two and was making like campaign videos about it and it was insane, that's like why I know about him but I started to learn a lot about him yesterday which was that he is sort of like widely whispered to have been a gay man and also famously voted continuously against gay and trans rights and their right to have health care and be married and all those things, so I learned a lot about him, all I really knew was that he went up against Thomas Ravenel Yes, exactly it was like widely known that he was closeted but yet wanted to not support the rights of these people and so this trans actress jesse james rose post on instagram just woke up to find out lindsey graham is dead question mark question mark lol question mark question mark most of you know him as the homophobic senator from south carolina but to me he will always be the man who paid a twinkie pre-transition college student a fat sack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie it is a canon trans event to have far-right freaks bankrolling you and then turning around and voting against you people love to judge us for it but i never see them opening their wallets shout out to sex workers everywhere forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent so that went viral put that on lady g's tombstone read this at the funeral that's a eulogy if i've ever seen one but i mean yeah and there's a lot of commotion align about his death and the appropriate or it , inappropriate response to a controversial figure and you have people and people who fellow senators and people like kamala harris i mean paying tribute to him and then you have people criticizing that and you also i find it the craziest you have trump supporters criticizing the left for celebrating a death when their great leader donald trump tweeted good i'm glad he's dead when robert muller died on top of rob reiner on top of saying he'd want to see liz cheney in front of a firing squad i mean that's just the hypocrisy and the lack of critical thinking is astounding and there's also a difference between jokes and a good joke which there were a lot and like people dancing on someone's grave you know what i mean and just like not mourning like i i wouldn't mourn the death of someone who didn't support human rights and who caused a lot of harm i'm not celebrating but i'm i'm not mourning and i i i don't like the like rewriting of history and like the whitewashing of someone to be painted as a hero when they weren't and they've really partook in the destroying of our democracy and someone who like spoke out against donald trump and then just bent the knee to him too you know like there's a long history here and i also think sometimes you don't have to say anything at all i find it crazy what people feel comfortable posting publicly on the internet like sometimes like less is less is is more you can have private conversations and private thoughts about stuff and yes the number one grave dancer donald trump who tweeted out i'm glad he's dead and i mean it is a very complicated relationship with him and donald trump he doesn't 2016 you have lindsey graham saying you know that this is a this is a terrible thing that he would be voted into the presidency and then he completely changed his mind i mean donald trump's tweet per usual is the funniest thing i've ever read in my life senator lindsey graham one of the greatest senators i have ever known is dead is dead exclamation point if i hope that the president when i die the president of the united states tweets out reina greenberg is dead exclamation points it's so funny well if you die you definitely want donald trump being like good i'm glad she's gone you definitely want to be on the on his bad side so yeah you know you're doing something right then i should be so lucky and then juxtaposed to this we have an alleged proof of life from mitch mcconnell which people are saying may or may not have been ai so if you guys are or not following mitch mcconnell has not been heard from in a month and he is what 84 years old and he fell and they're saying it was pneumonia but they posted a photo of him it's just a photo with a caption he's holding up today's newspaper like a hostage he's also fully dressed in a button-down shirt in a hospital bed which people are saying that's very weird i think that somebody i think if it's a real photo a senator probably just wanted to put clothing on and not be in the hospital garb his wife is holding his arm like he's a hostage and on the other hand he's holding the newspaper like he's a hostage with today's date on at the sports section it's hysterical if there is one thing the left and the right are agreeing on right now it's that this photo is fake in the weekend at bernie's like right this is so crazy like which photo do you believe more let me ask you this mitch mcconnell proof of life or trump as jesus which was the better ai because it's giving the same energy trump's like i'm a doctor mitch mcconnell's like i'm alive i just wear jeans in the hospital bed jeans in the hospital bed okay i like your point though of like that's the first i'm hearing that take and i appreciate it that you're being like he wanted to put on clothes the u.s. yeah yeah but okay but then why do you go back in the hospital bed then sit on a chair like if you have enough if you're alive enough to put on a button down and jeans why they put you back in the hospital bed with the newspaper like this man it's just what is actually happening here right this photo i can't believe it like i can't believe they're like and then it's a long caption that does not feel like he wrote it i mean not that i really didn't write that i mean well not that i really know his voice but it's just like this is like it's like it's like it's like it's this is crazy town i can't stop laughing at it is the most weekend at bernie's ass shit i've ever seen i mean it looks like his wife is propping up his body and she's like you will grip this newspaper and it's just funny because there's the threads are going crazy about it and i saw this one guy tweet like we need like weeks ago we need mitch mcconnell to hold a newspaper with today's date and then he retweeted his own thread and was like i didn't think they'd actually do this it's too obvious it's too obvious that it's not real the newspaper is too obvious you can't you would not get dressed then get back in the hospital but show him standing show him standing can he stand he can't stand there's no way he could stand his wife is holding his arm up like you are gonna sit up i'm sorry but they had the opportunity to do the funniest thing and that would be to put him in a windbreaker track suit and sunglasses straight out of weekend at bernie's like at least make us laugh with this nobody's buying it like the like liberals aren't buying it but the like right-wing people aren't either they're just like quit quit playing in our faces it's just it's too easy to make these fake ai photos i sent you one of yourself on a boat yesterday so it's just insane that like everyone's like these are two really over the years problematic in terms of you know general human rights and propping up donald trump and bending the knees senators and one we're like is he dead and then another one comes like it's just again the writers of this season i saw this me i'll do it themselves it said don't get too excited about this guy save your energy for the big one and you know that's the thing too this is a little bit like of a heavier deeper conversation when you talk about quote-unquote celebrating someone's death like what's the line because is it rapist and murderer because where does donald trump fall of rapist pedophile epstein files all the people that have died because of him truly all the people in these detention centers and all these immigrants and people who have really would be alive today if it wasn't for these policies like hitler you know stalin like at what point because you know we have people on the right be like you can't celebrate anybody's death it's like um what about people who have caused so much irreparable harm and that might not be lindsey graham to you by the way yeah no i'm just saying it's just like it's a different conversation because people that have caused so much harm people have died at their hands the world is a better place without them and again that's your line to decide but it's like hitler people were like well you can't celebrate you can't wait i mean was that what was the what was the discourse that we had social media during that time what i'm right i'm saying like would there have been people like he's a person too no osama bin laden like we celebrated that was did we have people what about his family he was a human too you know like it's an interesting conversation i think that you know i don't really want to publicly celebrate most people's deaths a lot of people are you know their fathers their husbands but a lot of these women that were trafficked they were somebody's daughter and they were somebody's child somebody's sister and you know a lot of people have caused a lot of really terrible irreparable harm i don't put these in that category i don't i don't know enough about them i don't think that but i still think we can like joke about some atrocities i think it's like widely known that lindsey graham was probably closeted and voted against the rights of people that are that way as well and if you don't want to celebrate those people because it's against your religion or whatever it is you still have to vote against rights of those people and i think it's worth acknowledging it i'm not dancing on the man's grave i don't think you know he's not hitler to me but yeah the big one the big one i'll be celebrating i mean i don't think it's worth acknowledging it i don't think it's worth again because i mean what camp when we talk about the these criminals you know what i mean so um i think that the most clever tweet thread i did see was it's like we got a free appetizer because our entrees were taking a long time that was the main theme of just like this is actually crazy the timing of this uh-huh with mitch mcconnell and and i don't know if you've and i also saw the ones that were like for the people that were obsessed with joe biden's age outliving everybody well that's like the dumbest shit in the world the whole sleepy joe thing it's like the president falls asleep in the middle of interviews on television like every other day yeah but i mean it's just kind of like oh these republicans are dropping like flies and joe biden's just out here like still living yep trucking along

out into your weekend this is just a really funny story that came about it's very funny niche tea so not funny for the girlfriend it's a spicy one so there is an announcer for the spurs um his name is jacob toby and um basically he was sleeping with and having an affair with one of the player's sisters and his girlfriend found out and logged into his instagram broken his instagram and posted an instagram story on his page that he was doing this and then the team fired him it's so crazy i'll walk you guys through these i'll try to be quick but she posts on his story on jacob's story with a picture of her her and him this is my girlfriend of six years but i cheated on her with lauren waters she tags her at lauren k waters so feel free to continue following me if you really think i'm a good guy because i'm not again she's in his voice okay then she does another post i think she went full feed on this so another post where this is is this on twitter she regardless she posted again me and the new girl and there's pictures of them like from a photo booth and then the stories got deleted the cheater thing got deleted and then he was going through and deleting old posts and then she broke her silence so she posts out this is his now ex-girlfriend i was visiting his family with him for two weeks we were on day three when i found out about him and lauren he woke up and his parents made him take down the story his parents i mean i think he probably wanted to too stay safe out there ladies you can be six years in visiting grandparents one hour and sleeping in bed the next at his family home and they will still cheat so tough there i mean if you were cheating jacob you got to have your phone locked down more than that like i wouldn't know he's willy-nilly with this she might have done his face like i wonder if she did his his face or i mean obviously i have shashank's passcode but he's a trustworthy guy but it's like i wonder how she got in do we know how she got into his phone i mean i need all the details um i don't know i feel like most people have their partner's passcode it's like really strange if like you're cheating you don't want if you're six years into a relationship and you don't have your partner's passcode i think it's so interesting and like yeah if you're cheating you're changing that all the time i'm not sure how she found out she found those photos is that how she found out i mean how stupid is he and i love that this justice was like really quick the team was like we don't want anything to do with this you're sleeping with one of the players sisters like fired immediately from the team crazy i mean you do bad things and bad things are going to happen to you but legally can you can you lawyer up on this can you i mean it doesn't even it's not even cheating on your spouse okay so my guess is i'm not condoning it it's it's fucking shitty but like i've seen people be like can you get fired for that but also can you get fired for anything so my two guesses are first of all this is not libel or slander because it's the truth from her so of course you can't sue her for that because it's the truth and you are suing for getting fired for the team no listen i'm a legal expert okay sorry he's he's an at will employee just like anybody else and yeah you a team can say this negatively reflects upon us this totally hinders your ability to do this job also the players this is going to create a horribly negative environment for the players we can fire you anytime you want to a million girls would love this job yes i mean go off to the girlfriend can you imagine waking up checking your own story i mean obviously you'd wake up to like texts like you would wake up to like an onslaught of texts but also what if you did it and the first thing you do in the morning is re-watch your own story and this is what you see you're like i'm a cheater like i'm jealous of like the friends that know them like if i personally knew these people the rush that would be going through my body seeing this listen i don't wish this upon anybody if i was her friend her personal friend i would be laughing so hard it hilarious move this was so we have a friend years ago her friend this is one of our best friends but this was like a friend of hers her friend was cheating on her man and posted a story with this other guy and it was like in a really compromising position like they were they were not like fucking but they were very they were all over each other and they took like a mirror pick something it was something crazy it was very sexy and suggestive and she posted to her story is this amanda botola no but like she outed herself and she didn't know she was like drunk posted to her own story and all her friends like couldn't get a hold of her i have had two times in my life where this happened and it is just crazy when you fuck yourself like this i haven't gotten caught when i we had this deal with this company and i sort of posted about how the company was and i put it on my story and then we lost service and thank god we got it down and then the other time i don't know if i ever told you this actually i so my ex-fiance i was his boss he was a waiter and i was like the manager at the restaurant and me and him and melanie and her date went to a wedding and she posted on facebook and like tagged me and him at this wedding together clearly like on a date at this wedding and like i couldn't find service and i thought all my staff members followed me like there's just a picture of me and my staff member at a wedding together on a date crazy terrifying let us know if you guys have any stories like that in in the comments okay and the next headline you guys have probably seen this this went super viral this bull bison tossed this tourist into the air like a rag doll in yellowstone the video is so insane like these tourists were far enough away they were like filming this bison which could not catch me doing that on foot like an animal you you cannot fuck with nature like that like if i'm in a vehicle like i want to go on a safari for sure but i need to be in a vehicle if i'm going to be observing wildlife like that but anyway so they are taking photos and then the the bison that kind of rolls around on the ground he does like a like he looks like he's doing something cute like a dog would do he kind of rolls around the ground and then this truck rolls by and then he was just like you know what fuck that i'm about to fuck shit up and he charges and he like kind of chases this man and this girl around and then throws the man up in the air i've never seen anything like it it looked like a cartoon he gets flung like a joke yes it looks like an ai video i mean this man is also huge to see him just like fly through the air with the greatest of ease it was crazy with his suspenders. Someone mocked it up into a poster and said, Red Bull gives you wings. I was like, the internet wins again. And he's okay. He was very injured. But of course, I can't get into it today, but so many people have thoughts and who was at fault and all of this, but they really weren't in his face. But I'm like, an animal like that, aren't you always at risk? It couldn't be me. I just feel like you cannot fuck with nature, animals, fire, water. I'm out. I don't take risks with that shit. I don't even want to go on a hike, Ashley. I will take a walk by the West Side Highway. That's it. Nature's not for me. There's too many variables. It's not for me. Yes, nature's not for me, Raina Greenberg. So that was crazy. Yeah. So every week I'm like, we're not going to talk about this anymore, but maybe this is the last week. So Bravo announced the cast of Summer. Summer House. So people have been speculating like who's going to come back, who's going to be on the cast. And they announced eight returning cast members. And that really just is the cast. So you have Carl, Lindsey, Kyle, Sierra, Jesse, Mia, KJ, and Bailey. So all returning cast members. And I have to say, I like this cast. I actually feel like we may return to a time at Summer House where people are like, just they're friends. It feels like a normal, I don't want to say healthy. I'm not looking for always healthy dynamics. Like just normal drama. And I just, I thought that Wes and Amanda would have been terrible for this show. It would have been the end for the show. I think this is like a perfect cast. This will be fine. It'll be great. I, it's always odd for me to see a bunch of people in their forties with a bunch of 25 year olds. So that's not really the case anymore. I'm, I think it'd be good. I mean, okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's like people, people we know and you know, you've come to come to know and come to like, and so, um, that's what's been going on. And lastly, okay. Jay-Z, these concerts, Raina, I woke up with jealousy this morning. I woke up with hate in my heart because Jay-Z did three sold out shows, the Yankee stadium, a historic run record-breaking, and this is for it's Jay-Z 30. And he's going to do three more shows in LA, Paris and London, I believe, um, through the end of the year. But the New York ones obviously were on another level and the people he has brought out have been so insane. So night one, Beyonce, Blue Ivy was playing the piano. I couldn't fucking believe my eyes. Nas, Memphis Bleak, Alicia Keys. And then night two, the highlight was Eminem brings out fucking Eminem. You never get to see Eminem like that. And then last night, Beyonce, again, Rihanna, Clipse, Pharrell, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Usher, Fat Joe, Swiss Beats, Teyana Taylor came out. I think she was singing Mary J Blige. Jermaine Dupri came out for Money Ain't a Thing and The Dream. Like I can't, I can't believe Rihanna and Beyonce. Like, are you, I'm going to cry right now. Like I can't handle this. So Melanie asked me if I wanted to go to this concert last night. And I was like, how much are the tickets? And she was like, the tickets I have are like $1,200. And I just had extra tickets laying around. Yeah. She had some friends that she was going to go with and they ended up not being able to go. And so she was like looking for, um, people to take the tickets. And I am currently paying rent and a mortgage while I try to sell my house. And I was like, I can't afford a ticket. No, I can't. And I thank God what happened last night. Thank God for me, not the, not the people who went, but there was a four hour concert delay because of a security breach, not because of anything that Jay-Z did to hold the doors or not showing up. But there was a security breach of people showing up that didn't have tickets and bum rushing the doors. Um, and thank God this concert did not start until like midnight, because if I had missed this, like, I don't, I would have just picked up a second job to afford the tickets. Okay. I would have been so upset if I had missed this. Cause last night I was in bed by nine 30. I can't even imagine being there last night, but yes, like I feel really bad for the people that had to wait. Like I was watching two days story. Two day did three, all three nights. They, she went all three nights and I went to bed seeing her story and it hadn't started yet. And it was like midnight. And I was like, what's going to happen. And I woke up and again, I woke up with jealousy in my heart, but it was, I don't know. I read about Jay-Z's statement about the security breach. And I don't know. It just sounded like something that didn't need four hours to take care of, but what do I know? You know, it just, it sounded a little like, I don't know, but it was just like four hours is a long fucking time. People got there at seven and for a show at eight. And then it didn't start till midnight. Some people left. Can you imagine leaving? I mean, I, that would have been me. I would have left. I would have, I just feel like I couldn't have left. Cause I would have had this feeling like it's night three. It's going to be the best night. Mm-hmm. Well, you would have known better. I would have been like, it's time to go to bed. So people are really talking about Rihanna and she came out and did run this town. And like, there's a lot of like Rihanna's back, you know, like maybe this awakened something in her. And I hate to say it, but we're never getting that album. She does not look like she's back. Her energy is I'm stopping by to say hi. Yeah. Yeah. Her energy is like not, I'm, I'm passionate about my music career. She was like, I'm just popping in. Like we have, been waiting 10 years for the album and people had to wait four hours last night for Rihanna. And that's our, the story of our lives is waiting for Rihanna. So when they released that song, that, that cover story, like two years ago, like maybe she's going to release. No, you guys just stop. But the, it was funny. Like the energy was not like she's back. The energy was like, no, she's stopping in. Like she's here to support her friend. Yeah. But like, you know, people always speculated Beyonce, Rihanna, they're on the same stage. Like this was just so historic. He did was absolutely incredible. And he is just a legendary talent. He's goaded. I mean, it is just truly, I love KFC posted of just like real, like legendary real life performers versus some people today who are just don't have that type of legacy and that type of talent and that type of longevity. Like it's so crazy. He's really been doing this for 30 years. And I can just remember that when Jay-Z albums would drop and like listen to them in my car. And I mean, I hope I get to see him in LA. Because it's just like, when are you going to go? When is it? It's, it's in October in LA. So we'll see. And even if you have to wait that four hours, it was a hundred percent worth it. Not to Raina, but. You know, I'm a sleepy girl. All right. Well, that's it guys. That is your snack for the week. Yes. Girlsgottoeat.com. Girlsgottoeat podcast on Instagram and TikTok.
