Who’s the Ultimate Teen Drama Guy? + Brooks Nader Responds to Topless Critics
87m 56s
The podcast episode captures a candid, humorous reflection on the mid-August boredom that feels like a "movie" — a time when life slows and solitude becomes noticeable. The host shares how being apart from a partner amplifies the feeling of being unoccupied, leading to excessive texting and over-planning. A personal story about long nails turning painful during a manicure highlights how physical discomfort disrupted routine tasks, ultimately leading to a temporary switch to bare nails, which brought a sense of freedom and ease in daily life. The conversation expands into broader themes of authenticity, real talk, and shared joy — from analyzing reality TV shows like *Surviving Barstool*, where the host praises the show’s gossipy, unfiltered energy, to reflecting on strong friendships like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s lifelong bond. The episode also touches on media overreaction, such as public outrage over Pippa Middleton’s wedding dress, and critiques how brands like Neutrogena allegedly terminated a relationship over a personal discussion about postpartum depression — a moment the host finds deeply unfair and dismissive of real women’s experiences. Amid the chaos, the hosts emphasize the value of real, unfiltered connection, drawing parallels to the authenticity found in simple choices like wearing comfortable underwear or drinking refreshing, low-sugar beverages. The episode ends with a light-hearted pop corner on Truly drinks and an open invitation for listener opinions, reinforcing the show’s theme: embracing genuine, unpolished moments as a form of joy and self-expression.

It's chicks in the office with Rianne Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Wednesday. Happy Wednesday, everybody. It's the middle of the week. And you know what? It's feeling like the middle of the week. It is, we have officially hit that pocket of August where everyone's doing jack shit. You know what I just felt like? Remember when Harry Styles was doing press for Don't Worry Darling, and he was like, it feels like a movie. I just did that with the days of the week. I said, and it feels like the middle of the week. You know what? Today's the podcast episode, and it's just going to, it's going to feel like a podcast. It's just going to feel like a podcast where we're just talking shit about nothing. I have been like, I don't know what to do with myself for the last two days. Like I, it's Matt gone. Yes, that's why okay. I didn't text that, but like the amount of times that you've texted in the last two days talking about how bored you are, like Matt must not be home. No, he's not here. He's traveling for work. So yes, we had to take a pause on Pilates by Izzy, but I've been doing my own workouts. But we had to take up, so he's out. Well, I haven't done Pilates by Izzy, but I have done other Pilates. I got you. I got you. But it's because he was like, you're going to do it without me. And I was like, I might, he's like, go ahead. But I'm like, you know what? We'll resume when you go back. He comes back on Thursday morning. But I was thinking about this. And I was like, you know, I, I have things to do by myself. But like, yeah, I married him because I want to be around him 24/7. And when we're not around each other, yeah, you know what? I get a little bored. I'm like, it would be a lot more fun if he was here right now. Right, right, right. You are just, you are firing off texts. I feel like you're on your phone. I know. I'm actually being so annoying. And by the way, you, I bet you feel this as well, right? It's like when we're away traveling for work, yeah, we're not bored because we're doing things. Yeah, great. When you're home and your partner's not home with you, then it's like, okay, I'm, I'm really fucking bored. Come home. Like it's the, it's the opposite where I'm just like, what do I do with my hands? What, what, who do I bother at home with all my nonsense? Right. So I've just been like texting so much. And I said to my friends today, I was like, guys, I know that I have been texting way more than usual on the past two days. And I got to apologize because I mean, my God, I can't quit. I feel like you're just like getting ahead of things. You know, you're looking ahead. You're, you're planning. No, I do that regardless. Yeah, yeah. I like to have my things ready. You're, you're ducks in a row. And by the way, planning for one, it's on Thursday. I'm planning for it's Tuesday. Oh, no, I just met in general. Not even that one specific thing. I just feel like, you know, you're just making, making sure things are organized. Well, while I have the time, I might as well. Yeah, acting like I'm so busy all the time, that's not true. But that is the one thing we're having a dog comes into play. It's like, when Joe is gone, I got a little buddy. Yeah, it's, it's more just like, because I'm in Jersey. Yeah, there's not a lot of people over here. Yeah. But I've kept myself occupied, you know, but it's like, all right, come home now because I have more fun when he's here. And that's, sue me. That's why I married him, you know? Yep, that is true. That is why. Yeah. I did do something crazy. I got, when to go get my nails done last Thursday. And the nail salon was like, you have to take a break. Because my thumbs kept breaking. And I'm doing the hard gel. And I don't have acrylics. It's my, it's my real nails that I had grown out long with hard gel on top. But they kept breaking. And there was an incident she was, you know, like cutting. I was like, why don't I just do, do them short and then put the hard gel on top. And when she was cutting it, something burned so bad, you know, when they're like, yeah, in the light. In the tool. No, when she was doing the tool, like, you know, when they, if you ever chopped your nails off from when they're really long to go really short. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're like the buzzer. Yeah, the buzzer, yes, yeah, it caught my thumb. Oh, so bad. And I, and I actually went, oh, and jumped out of my seat. I was so embarrassed that I reacted that way. Because usually I just play through the pain. But it was so bad. I couldn't even, it just, it was a reflex. I just jumped. And then she didn't like that reaction at all. She was like clutching her chest like, you scared me. And I was like, oh, it just really hurt. And then she was like, well, I didn't do anything wrong. I said, no, no, I'm not, I'm not saying you did. And then we had this little back and forth. I was like, no, I'm not saying you did. It just, it just hurt. It wasn't me. It was me. Yeah. And then she was like, no, no hard gel. You're going nothing there. Your nails need a break clearly. So I got reprimanded. And I walked out of there like, OK, bare nails, clear polish. I'm a new woman having had this in years. Thought I was going to love it. Thought I was going to be free. Hey, this shit is getting caught on everything. Yeah, no idea. It's getting caught on everything. Because now they're breaking without anything on it, without anything hard, keeping it together. And they're just frail. They're just frail. And they're getting caught in my hair. They're getting caught on blankets. I'm just like, they're getting caught everywhere. How does it feel texting? Because I ever call when I had short nails, I'm sure I didn't think when I, when I got them short, I don't know, maybe last year, I forget what exactly was. Not the point, not the point. But I'm so used to texting with long nails that when they went to short, I was hitting all the wrong buttons. Like, could not do it right. I actually love it. I love texting without them. And I love not having to hear my click-lacky notes. The clacky. You know, when you like a new way yourself with your click-lacking. Yeah. And then last night, I was on my laptop. And it was so much easier to type on the laptop. Because it's so hard with longer nails. It's very hard to type. We do not have a type on laptop type job. No, we don't. Or else, I would not have nails like this. No, no. I was simply shopping and typing in my address. And it just felt so much easier. You should see me when I try and type with these nails. I literally have to do like, I'm like, button, button, button. Yes, it's so hard. It's so hard. So I was feeling so free until today. Now, my two pointer fingers are, they're coming off. I don't, I don't want to get them done. I'm stuck in a crossroads here. Now, I'm thinking, should I do crosshands? Ooh. Just in the meantime. Maybe. I don't feel like getting them done. I felt like I was free for a little bit. The, the smart answer is probably you don't put anything on them for some time and let them. Okay. Get back to some strength, but no judgment from you. When you see my botched-ass nails and you're like, ew, you have nothing on your nails. And they're falling off. As long as they're clean, that's let, you know, and they're not chipped. Yeah, those look nice. But look at the, look at them peeling off. But they look nice. Well, she's, you still kept them kind of long and all honesty. No, no, they're short. No, I know they're short, but they're your real nails. Like, the fact that you even still have the little white on the top, you know. Like you, I'm, she, she didn't cut them like really, really short. You still got a little growth on them. Right, but then that would just be nubs. That would be yucky. Well, I, I know. That's on my fingers at least. To be honest, you have scared me a little bit because the last time I went, this is going to sound, I was literally in like mother Gothel. My nails were, I think they were like curling. It's like my natural nails. Yeah, they were talent. Because I was doing the same thing. It's like my natural, it was my, let natural nails are long. And then you just, I do the hard gel on top of it. And the ends, like the body of my nails were just, starting to go a little curved and she with my nail tech was like, ah, you know, do you want them to be straight? So she didn't give me like full extension, extension. She put the extensions on like halfway up my nail. It's very confusing. Now I don't know what kind of appointment I need to make when I go back in. Do I need to do a gel extension? Do I need to do just a hard gel overlay? I don't know.
But I'm going I think I'm going at some point this week join me. Come on over. No, I can't do it I actually would have an identity crisis unless it will take it will take Her say looking at me and saying like you cannot do this Which is until until she tells me You're gonna keep doing I'm steep. I'm keeping them. I'm keeping them this way. You know my problem is I can't Physically like when mine thumbs are short They are so nubby. It's it's just it's it's just accentuates the toe of the of the nail We're like, you know that you can kind of I can have a little bit of a longer nail can kind of when this is short It's just terrible Yeah, I mean listen, I don't agree. I'm not gonna make you feel bad about your thumbs I'm here to hype you up, but if that's how you feel then that's how you feel Yeah, I wasn't gonna tell the Russian woman sitting across me. No, like when she told me you're not getting your nails done I said yes, ma'am Where are you at? Are you at our place for a different place. I was yeah. Oh shit I hope I don't get her she says we're cutting these off good luck good luck Can you join the bare nails? I mean listen, I guess I should just let them let them chill out for a little bit That's where we're at. This is the right time to do it. Yeah, and the summer. Yeah, you know I do want to say because I mentioned Matt in the beginning that I am loving the girl is DMing me that they find Matt to be hilarious on surviving bar stool because he genuinely is so funny on the show and That one's right because I love watching him and he was so nervous for me to watch him and I just was like you're great. You're so funny. You're being yourself like that's what it's all about and I'm just so happy that people are loving him and thinking he's so funny because that's what I think about him and and I love that so New episode is tonight Wednesday and then it's Think five more episodes after that. So it's a very entertaining season. It has been very entertaining a lot going on Tate is doing this thing where he's like lying in his confessionals I guess he's supposed he was like doing sarcasm I Toked it as he didn't know that in your confessionals. You're supposed to be saying the things that other people don't know Like the confessionals is your safe space. It's like here's actually what I'm doing I'm fucking with everybody. Here's my actual plan and then you go around and do your do your thing right He was like playing a character the whole time. Yeah, he's just like lying to the confessional camera. Yeah, which is notice that not what you're supposed to do That is not what supposed to happen Yeah, I I've been finding it very very entertaining that the Sunday night ball challenge is one of my favorites It is such a hard game and and people get so mad at the penalties and that's what makes it so fun I remember on my season They didn't air it but but Kirk was screaming his head off at me Being like you stepped off you stepped off and I didn't step off He just was like doing Screaming for no reason and I was like his hysterical laughing being like I you you think you're gonna scare me screaming I grew up with an Italian dad Kirk like this is this is not gonna phase me It people it's such a hot-headed game that one and the penalties you'd just you got to believe the ref Because no one else, you know, so you just got to know by that But Matt crushed that challenge throwing wise if you would have gotten all more balls to him They would have won that obviously it's always easier to say that but Fidelberg was Fantastic as well Nikki Smokes was cracking me out being like Fidelberg has a fantastic build on him I've actually enjoyed Nikki on this show. Yeah, definitely he He made a video the other day that I saw that he was talking about Watching his confessionals and like wanting to speak better But I I like watching people just speak how they normally would speak in a confessional because then you know it's you know Jen you in yeah, um, obviously everyone's gonna have like a different cadence. Ron is a battle rapper. So he knows the Yeah, he plays it up and he speaks like he's a poet sometimes right there's you know all the comparisons and what not but and he knows the right right place to take a pause right Confessionals like and then I thought well, I'm not standing for that. Yeah, you know, it's like I think Matt Been crushing his confessionals as well making me laugh. Flip floppy the whale So tune in if you haven't been watching. It's very entertaining. It hasn't been great. I have been locked in as well. I like to watch It's become part of my nightly ritual like as I'm doing my skin care and all that like I like to watch it before bed and And then I made and then if I it's kind of a funny combo I watch like the first half as I'm getting ready for bed And then I'll like pause it and then I go to bed and then I'll watch the second When I get up keeping you entertained. Yeah, it's crazy. I haven't started dreaming about it yet to be honest, but yeah I had a dream last night the John Mayer came out as gay Well, did you look at that? Yeah, I saw I get I saw a giveaway on Instagram for tickets. I did see that as well I've pretty much put that whole thing behind us like yeah It's not happening and that's that, you know, what are you gonna do? But yeah, watching surviving bar stool. I Sometimes have to like take pauses and like some deep breaths because I find myself getting Entirely to into it. Yeah, and I'm like what did he say that? And I'm like, okay, chill out It's already been filmed and it's not happening currently like you're not in the room with these people Maria Okay, so chill out. It's hard to get yourself out of it after you've been in it one of the best parts about playing the game though And it is what I miss and I actually posted on my story yesterday like I just love talking shit I do I do and and I you you just got to own that when it's something you love And I mean that's what we do on this podcast. So clearly we love it. Yeah, but one of the best parts About playing my game is getting in the side rooms and being like, so what are you thinking? Okay, what are you thinking? Okay, I'm gonna go tell them this and then you run and then you do the like the exact opposite of what You're gonna do and then when you find out information you pull somebody else and tell them a little information It's like it just one big gossip the game. It takes a lot of gossiping in that game and You know what That's where I shined, you know because we freaking love some gossip love some shit talking and why not I could shit talk about literally Anything I could do it about anything and and stuff. I don't even care about it's like well, why not, you know You got compared to Charlie from next Okay, well that was felt odd I didn't and I'm all caught up on next gender right raised you're like I'm really in it and like everybody on the show hates him Well, they're kind of coming around on him now. They're like Charlie had us in his room last night and we all like order room service and like Ariana's flirting with Charlie, but like But I didn't foresee myself being compared to Charlie's a core. Yeah, yeah, yeah on my Monday night. Yeah I feel like the fans all find him to be pretty crucial to the show But which is true. I'm not the first person on planet earth to say I love talking shit and love gossip Everybody does because by the way Matt and I were talking about this the other day we were on a walk and we walked past All these individual groups and you could just hear all of them talking shit and we were like, you know what people just fucking love Gossip. Yeah, gossip. They do. I do think gossip and talking shit are different Um, yeah, I mean there's levels to it. Yeah, there's there's levels because because You could be talking you could be talking shit and it's like you're Shitting on the thing or the person or not even the person, but the Um action of something, right? Yeah Gossip it could be facts. You know what I mean could be rumors could be I could just be talking about facts like it's like opinion whatsoever I'm awesome. It's like Here's the gossip like it's a history book This is what I heard And and have no opinion about it. Yeah, um, so yeah, you're right. There's levels to it and I love Pretty much all levels, you know for being honest You know the world could be too loud too filtered and too fake, but not here not with us and not with rum Haven Rum Haven is where the noise fades and the real comes out This is where you can unbutton expectations and sip on what's true and what's natural One taste of pure cane sugar and real coconut water lets you feel the difference It's what real tastes like that place that feeling that mindset where everything finds its balance It's an oasis of authenticity and it calls to you draws you in because this space you can be real with yourself
your friends and even the strangers who might just become them. So open up a bottle, lose the small talk and find the good vibes because the best moments aren't fake. They're simply real. Rumhaven made for real. If you want to pick something up in your state of boredom and then, you know, if you with no, no, it's pretty, it's probably gonna end tonight. Okay, things start picking up back tomorrow. It was really like a two-day boredom. Well, I was going to say our August book book is fantastic. Oh, okay. Just think about it, you know, if you don't have to join book club again, I'm just saying if you want, if you want it, if you want it, something to read, it was just going to be a suggestion because I think the book is fantastic. Thank you. Thank you. I did think about reading to occupy my time. It's a good pause. I did think about reading. I did. Yeah. And then I didn't. Yeah, it's really just a two. Here's what I realized actually. And it's I don't know how to word this correctly, but when your brain is like feeling free and not much anxiety and all that, there's room to be bored. And sometimes that's nice, you know, yes, because when your brain is filled with all these anxieties, then it's hard to be bored because you're so focused on so much, right? Like your brain is so busy, you're not even bored because your brain is so cluttered. So I'm actually taking my brain and me being bored as a good thing. A little bit of a privilege to be bored, because rarely, rarely do we have the opportunity where things are quiet enough to be bored. Exactly. So soak in that boredom, honey. I am. I'm soaking it in and I'm really excited because Thursday, I'm I sound like I'm trying to fill a word account because there's no topics. So on Wednesday, I'm literally trying to fill a word account of an MLA for bad essay because there are no topics. Well, we can tease. We do have a great guest coming in on Wednesday. We're really excited for it. The episode is going to come out late next week. So stay tuned for that. Yeah, it's probably going to be the last guest in our old studio, which we'll just say it'll be very full circle. It is very full circle is very poetic. And then this will come out right before Outer Banks final season and my podcast comes out on Thursday. So Thursday, there's no new episode of tricks in the office. So go binge the Outer Banks official podcast. All episodes will be out one time. All episodes will be out on Thursday, August 20th show comes out Friday. No, the show comes out on Thursday. Oh, show comes out Thursday. Yes. So the show comes out and the podcast is out. Okay, okay. Same day, same day, same day. So everyone can look forward to that. I'm looking forward to it. I'm getting a little nervous. I think it's, well, that's a good sign. Anyway, I think nerves are always good because it's something that you're proud of. Yes, I'm extremely proud of it, but I'm getting a little bit nervous, but I hope everyone enjoys it. And that'll be out on Thursday. I'm really excited to see it. And I'm really excited to see how the show ends, to be honest. I'm also very much looking forward to that and seeing where these crazy, where these crazy kids end up. Yeah. It's going to be, it's going to be good stuff. And yeah, and life said in I million times, that the Jones brothers start their tour on Thursday, which we've talked about at length, so we don't need to talk about anymore. No. And that's, and that's that. Yeah. I was on TikTok this morning. And I ended up tearing up to myself. Yeah. And I feel like this happens to me once or twice a year. Right. End up on like a Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, wormhole, where I just really appreciate their friendship. That happened to me after seeing the Odyssey. And it makes me feel emotional. Yeah. Like I was just watching compilation videos of the two of them with each other and talking about each other. And honestly, with the amount of research I've done on this, I did not realize it went as far back as as Matt Damon being 10 and bending eight. Oh yeah. Like that is childhood. I thought they were teens. Childhood. That's crazy. And it's beautiful. And the fact that they have stood by each other side. This friendship is so strong. And you know, Ben's been through a lot and Matt's there for him. It was making me emotional. The level of loyalty is fairly unmatched when it comes to Hollywood. But that's because they've really, like you said, have known each other since they were kids. It's really, it's really lovely. It's actually a very fun TikTok ride. But hold it down. I have done that before where you're just getting fed or I've gotten fed videos when Matt is doing a lot of press. Like he has been recently where it's where it's just compilations of Matt Damon bringing up Ben Affleck, like unsolicited interviews. It's just like different ways that he will find ways to bring Ben Affleck into the conversation. And I was like, that's so sweet too. It is. It's really nice. It just was warming my heart. I'm like, you know, you just don't see this that often in Hollywood, a lifelong friendship like this. No, that is very beautiful. And then on the other, the other side of that, do you remember when Kate and William got married? Absolutely. I know exactly where I was. And Pippa Middleton's ass took the world by storm. Yes. And now if you look back, you just go, why? It was flat as a board. And that, okay, that sounded fucked up. I don't mean it like that. I just mean in the way that the media was talking about Pippa Middleton was like as if she was carrying around an 18 wheeler on the back of her. It was like holy shit. Pippa Middleton's bum bum has the world going crazy. Right. Now when you look back on the pictures, you're like, what? What was everybody so up in arms about? You know, I really think that it was just because people hadn't seen it. But you can't see it in this image picture either. No, no, but that you know what I'm saying? It's like, if you when you look back, I think you just wearing a tighter dress and nobody, no, I know. Believe me, I get what you're saying. It's, it, when you really go back, you're just like, this is a quote from the daily news from February 26th, 2014. And she was asked about the dress. And she said that it fit a little too well. But the wedding was in like 20, like 2010, right? Or 2009. The wedding was in 2011. 2011. Yeah. Yeah, it's so wild. Like I can't believe the pictures when you go back. I'm not quite sure why that's the attribute that people latched on to. You know, right. And I think it was just like she was in a form fitting dress. Right. And that just like blew everybody's mind. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. I'm actually feeling incredibly bad about saying flat as a board because that is so rude. And I apologize. That's not what I meant by it. I just meant that she looked fantastic. And people were talking about her ass as if it wasn't like a surprise him surprise Kim Kardashian reveal. No. And acting like she couldn't fit her ass through the doors of where they were getting married. Yes. Yes. It was it was discussed as if it was like earth shattering. Yes. It's so wild. I mean, a lot of those things were so wild back in the day. Like yeah, I think everyone was just like the royal family where someone are associated with the royal family like wearing like a four like a tight dress was just just not done in that way. So it's like I feel like she can't got out of the car and everyone was just blown away at how great she looked really it was because that because that was fantastic. Everybody was obsessed. Yes. For years with like that dress and the way she looked specifically at the wedding and wanting to copy that dress. People copy that dress for their own weddings. Like it really that was a that was a moment. That was a that was a moment in culture. Yeah. It was a major moment. And then on the opposite side of that like did you watch that wedding live? Yes. I did. Yeah. I did in school. We were
- We're off from school because it was during our Easter break. - Ooh. - Okay. - If I recall correctly, what was the day? I mean, what was the day that went? - I don't know if you'll remember exactly when you had your Easter break. - No, no, but I would just type in Easter of 2011. When was Easter 2011? When was Easter 2011, Easter? - Their wedding was on. Easter was Sunday, April 24th. - And they were married on April 29th. - Yeah. - 2011. - Off from school. - You guys got the whole week after Easter? - Yeah. - Nice. - Catholic school. - I mean, I went back to school, we didn't do that. - Oh man, you didn't get. We got February break and Easter break. - No, we had like a spring break. - Yeah, like that was kind of it. - Spring break was considered our February break and then we had Easter break. - Yeah. - I don't know, I'm putting quotes in Easter break but that's what it was called. - Yeah, I'm trying to remember now on what we do. I don't even know if I'm right on that or not. All I know is that we were in school on that Friday. We had like a legit assembly in our auditorium where we played the whole wedding. Like everyone got in early so that we could watch live. - That's a great school day. - Yeah, yeah, I mean, talk about the perfect fit for just like an all-girl school. - Right, you're like, this is amazing. - It's like, it's the fucking royal wedding and then I watched the lifetime movie, the Will and Kate lifetime movie. If anybody's seen it, it's the actress that is on Grey's Anatomy. And when did that movie come out? Lifetime, Will and Kate. I think it was like a love story. Will and Kate, William and Kate. - Yes, I remember this. - It came out before the wedding. So it came out in April 18th, 11 days before. - Before the wedding. - Before the wedding is crazy but it was Camille Luttington and I was so obsessed with, like I bought it on iTunes. I had it on my laptop, I watched it all the time. Like if you pulled up, you know how sometimes still on your phone, you can look to see in your like Apple TV app, it still tells you your library of things that you've, - Yeah. - Now you have downloaded and. - Kate and William, William and Kate.

I loved R-U-The-One. 22 episodes of Melissa and Joey. (laughing) - Okay, so I bought an entire season of Melissa and Joey. - Well, of course. Why I bought an entire season is insane. Oh, I also bought an entire season of Awkward. I'm 25 episodes of Awkward. - Listen, Awkward's great. - Halloween town, William and Kate, the movie. Liz and Dick, the Lindsay Lohan one. (laughing) - I don't remember that one. - That was also a lifetime where she played Elizabeth Taylor. Actually, that came out in 2012. Eight episodes of the Kardashians. Three episodes of Courtney and Chloe take Miami. All 15 episodes of Mary to Judas. (laughing) - Da. - And six episodes of Hannah Montana. They were all exclusively Jake Ryan episodes. Any episode that Jake Ryan was in? I think it was probably all of them. Movies are Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, the Duff. This is the end. Justin Bieber believe. Silver lineings playbook and Chasing Liberty. Interesting assortment, to be honest. I did watch Chasing Liberty a lot. Have you seen that one? - No. - With me anymore? Oh, you know how there was a shoot. There was the one with Katie Holmes. - My day was the president's daughter. - But it was just called, it was just first daughter. - First daughter is Katie Holmes. - And then my day was-- - My day with the president's daughter. - The Disney Channel. - Chasing, this was like very similar to friends with benefits, no strings attached. Like movies that came out around the same time that were like the same press, like first daughter movie came out in 2004 and Chasing Liberty came out in 2004. Same year, same situation, same premise. I miss them both. - Like the president's daughter that just wants to fall in love and run away and be her own independent woman. Katie Holmes is going to college and falls in love with what she thinks is a student but is actually a secret agent that the president sent to watch her. She thought she was getting the freedom she wanted, but in reality-- - I'll be. - Yes. - I'll never forget this scene. - I did see this one. He shoves her and what to talk about being old. That man, the love interest, is the father on my life with the Walter Poise. - Really? - Yes. - He plays their fucking dad. I'm like, God dammit. - Oh man. - But there is an iconic moment. He pushes Katie Holmes into the car after an incident and she moves over for him to get into the car with her and he pulls out, he pulls out his little like walkie like into his mic and he's like, she's safe and there's like slams the door and the car drives away. Oh my God, it's some good stuff. Shacing Liberty is Mandy Moore is just looking for a vendor. She wants to travel. She just kind of runs away. Falls in love with a guy who also, security. (laughing) - A lot of similarities here. - A lot of similarities and I really loved both of them and I watched them a shit ton. But the will and Kate won. I think I watched endlessly. - Yeah, I feel like if you're a newer listener, people don't even realize how much you love or you still love the royal family. - Yeah, like you really, when we first met, you loved the royal family. - Well, peak will and Kate was just the best. Like obsessed with their love story, obsessed with how they met, obsessed with the whole thing. And I also am obsessed with like the fictionalized version of it that's really played out for this. There's a book series called The Royal Wee that's so fucking good that is also kind of a play on their story that is exceptional. And honestly, I'm due for a reread. I haven't read it in a while. That are really, really good. But same kind of vibe. But you know, things just took, things have gone dark and sad. - Things took a turn. - Which is unfortunate. But like when the family separated and- - The queen died. - Yeah, yeah. And really that's, my loyalty was with the queen. I don't have that. I don't have that with Charles. - No. - That ain't my king. She was my king, but that ain't my- - Has less of it's lore. - Yeah, that's fair. I was thinking about starting Gilmore Girls in my boredom because- - But you didn't. - I still have tonight. - Okay. - Tuesday night. - Think about it. - So I'm thinking about it. Well, I was trying to catch up on starting point. I have like two episodes left. - Yeah. - So I was focused on that. - And then I did think about doing Gilmore Girls. So I'm like, all right. Well, I keep talking about how bored I am. Why don't I write this- - So this is the time. - This is the time. This is the show to dive into. - So I will keep everybody updated. Don't hold your breath though. - I'm not, I'm not putting any pressure on this. - You tell me when you're ready, I'm- - Right. 'Cause I don't want this to turn into a situation where it looks like I'm begging for people to beg me to watch it, right? It's like, oh, keep telling me to watch it. - I don't wanna beg you. - No, no. 'Cause that's never fun. Then it feels like homework. - Yeah. - And I don't want this to feel like homework. I wanted to feel enjoyable. So I'll let you know.
Now, if I'm feeling it tonight and I'm sitting down cozy, maybe I pop it on and I'm full in love. And that's all we can really wish for. - Yeah, you know. - That is, I'll be thinking about that tonight. - Yeah, I'll let you know. - Thank you for going, please. (laughing) - I know it's really gonna take up most of your thoughts tonight. - Please let her like this.

I feel like I wrote something else down in my notes that I wanted to bring up because I was, that's why I wrote down the Pippa Middleton and the Ben Affleck. Oh, okay, I wrote this down. Do you think when somebody is telling their therapist a story about somebody? Yeah. That they maybe then go look up who they're talking about or try to find what these people look like because I feel like if I was a therapist, I would be incredibly nosy. Yeah. And if you're telling me, like say we're sitting here and you're telling me about your boyfriend and how he's shitty to you multiple. I'm sitting there going, what does this man look like? What does he look like? You know, there's a reason why you're not a therapist. Fair, completely fair, but I'd also like you're telling me about your bitchy friend. No, I don't. What does she look like? Like I bet you there is a point where a visual might be needed. A visual in the sense of it's like, if you're going in and you're talking about the same person every week for like months, right? I think then maybe it gets to the point of being like, I got to see this guy. I got to like, I got to Google this person or something. And maybe you may not even have their last name though. So you never know, right? If I come in like and I was just, I'm talking about Sally, like my therapist be like, I don't know what reference point do you have to even try and find this person? Probably going into your Instagram, going into your following and what you think is, I think is like, let's get up, right? I think you can't be doing that. I also don't think you, I don't think is a therapist, you're following your client's on Instagram. No, I bet you certainly wouldn't want my therapist following me on Instagram. No, no, no, no. But I believe that there is, they could look though. It's public. Yeah, like there are, there is world where that happens for sure. And I'm just curious. So if you're a listener who works in this field, I got to know your thoughts. If you're very nosy about this, I need to know, I bet you would just, I feel like it has to get to a certain level. That's my guess. Right, because I feel like I just see what if it's, you're here in stories all day long, you can't be looking up all these people. No, but the ones you're most interested in. Yeah, maybe. And also a follow up question would be, are there client stories you're interested in more than the others? I know it's not a podcast. I know it's not like, I'm making, I'm making this sound. I'm making it sound very superficial. That's not what I'm trying to do. Yeah, yeah. But I know that there's got to be a world where there's some therapists out there that are like, this one's juicy. First, for sure. Yeah. I would think so as regular people, you got those feelings deep down into it, you know. I just wanna applaud all of the people that work in this field because I really think most of the time, they're keeping it super professional. Exactly. And they do an exceptional job. And I applaud them because it takes a lot of strength. - Never forget who was a clobaculture and the shade of their therapist, who was rat in honor. - Yes. - Telling her shit. - Yeah. - Which you don't want, which can be scary. - All right, well, anything else you wanna, is there anything you've written down for this week, anything random? - Not so much. It's just like a same kind of thing, big catching up on TV. I'm really into this book. I've been, I was reading all last night, all during the weekend into the blue is our same page book club book this month. And I unfortunately, like I'm prepared and I don't know if this is like gonna be, if people will want to hear this or not. Before reading it, but Gea posted herself, like basically sobbing at the end of this book. So I was like, well, you could kind of, could take a guess what direction, this is all heading it from when you're reading it. And you kind of feel that pretty early on anyway, but it's a unique story and a really good book. So I've really been locked into that and just catching up on some TV with Joe and that's kind of been, it's sort of a little bit of a boring week. You know what's so crazy though? I did see this. So Olivia Dean's been playing at MSJ. She played this weekend, Tuesday's her last night here. She did put a cap on resale tickets, like tickets went on sale. There's a whole process if you bought tickets early, the dynamic pricing, all these things. It's like when she found out everything that was going on, she sort of like put an end to it. So you can't go on ticket master anything and find resale tickets. Of course, other market, second market sites have it and stuff, but they're so expensive. So I guess some people on, and I don't know, I don't know if she like told people to do this or if someone told them to do this, I don't know. I didn't even know this was still a thing that you could do. But I guess Friday, Saturday, I believe the shows were, there were people going to the box office at like 4 p.m., waiting in a pretty short line and getting tickets, which, and then that was like all over TikTok. And now turn into a disaster. Like Monday and Tuesday were two shows. And people were lined up at 7 a.m., 8 a.m. I saw videos, I saw TikToks of people commuting to work and they're like, the line is through the MSG lobby, down 7th Ave, up 31st, all the way to 8th Ave, of people lined up to try and get tickets. And it's like this system, I mean, I gotta be honest. Why is the trading system for everything? It's so broken. It's like, why can't it be easier to get tickets? I know. And it's so crazy to me that got to the point where it was like, those people who got in early, amazing, lucky. And then it got to the point where they were like, you waited in a line and then they gave you a number or like a wristband and then you had to wait longer or come back and then they were letting certain people into the only certain number of people into the lobby. But then like, security is telling people, they still have tickets. But it's like, how are all these people also just waiting [BLANK_AUDIO]
all day long. I mean, I'm a street to get these tickets. And it's so crazy. I'm like reading the tick dot comments. I was locked in. There's people being like, Oh, shit. Like I'm all the way up 31st and eighth. Like, can you get me ticket? Like people going back in the comments trying to get tickets. It's crazy that there isn't an easier way to get reasonably priced tickets to a show for like the artists that you want to see because they were selling them. I saw people were posting videos of when they got in. They were like, I bought this ticket at six p.m. at the box office on Friday. And I'm in lower level. And I bought the ticket for $150. And everyone was like, Oh, my God, like all the comments freaking out. Now, obviously, that's why there's what seemed to be thousands of people trying to get into this show. I'm like, well, clearly there's not that many seats left. There couldn't be. Yeah, I feel like this is crazy madness that I can't really understand why it's so hard. It's also like, where were these tickets coming from? I don't know where the MSU box office just has all these tickets from where they didn't sell them. Right. It's feels very backwards. I know. I was so confused because I was just like, I don't, and I know they stopped doing the resale thing. But then it was like, did that therefore just stop the sale of some of the tickets that already been sold? I really, I don't know. I don't know. But I was like, I don't know how there's so many tickets to just be bought. Yeah. I can't get in a way with this. I don't know. Ticket places. I know. It's really a head scratcher. I know. It really is. So if you got, if you got to see Olivia Dean, you got lucky because it really seemed to be like jumping through hoops to get into this place. Right. It's becoming like you have to do flips and tricks and, and perform in a circus to go see your favorite artists. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did see people who are pretty happy about, I guess, this new spot if I think that they're rolling out, where if you're in the top percentile of listeners for an artist that goes on tour, that you get like an exclusive pre sale, which is a good idea. I saw some people talking about that with, with Jonas Brothers shows. I saw people who were on tic-tac that were pumped about it and got great seats. And then I saw people who were not pumped about it. I think it really depended on, I think it really depended on your location because some people like had no issue getting a ticket. And then some were like, why can't I, I'm a top listener. Should I be getting a floor seat? Like so, I don't know. Yeah. It's really a toss up. It's really all over the place. But regardless, it's like, and it's got to be overwhelming for the artist too. Olivia Deans has skyrocketed in the last year, where she's doing four, five, four nights in MSG fight. Like to the point where I, I don't know, like for them, you throw your arms up too. I don't know how to help, I don't know how to help people get into this place either. It's so complicated. It doesn't make any sense. Like, I don't even know what to tell my fans and how, exactly, on how they should get tickets to my show. Right. The artist is probably just as confused as the fans and frustrated that it's going to seem like it falls on them when it's not on them. Yeah. Exactly. So, exactly. For topics today, I mean, really a lot of what's being discussed is hate impenetior and her unfortunate passing, you know, a lot of looking into past interviews and details of what may or may not have happened feels wrong to like sit here and speculate on all that and kind of harp on the bad when she brought so much joy and light and great films and TV to so many people and that's what we love and enjoyed the most. So just want to keep it on that note. Yeah. It's so sad, too, because I think when a celebrity passes, there's a moment of shock for everyone and then like the public starts pointy figure fingers and they want answers so fast. And right now it's like, pointy fingers. I've seen 9 million TMZ posts about this boyfriend. It's just a lot where there's a lot of speculation where you don't know what's going on and all these sort of resurfaced videos and my heart breaks because there's been some beautiful statements from people that have worked with her, her ex who's the father of their daughter and she has a relationship with her mom, I think, was pretty estranged and that was a little bit of a head scratch, too. I know old clips are going viral again. They went viral originally when she was doing all this press, but I had not realized that she spoke on Jay Shetty and Jay Shetty put out a beautiful Instagram post as well, that she was basically fired from Neutrogena after she talked about postpartum depression on live with Kelly and Michael, she said, like on TV, it was like it wasn't something I planned to. There was some sort of like morality clause in her Neutrogena contract. She had been working with them for 10 years. And the postpartum depression, it wasn't like a plan topic, but it had just come up naturally and she talked about it. And the Neutrogena wanted to end their relationship with her after that. And, you know, I think her lawyer someone said, you know, well, that's illegal. You can't do that. But when it got to the point of like doing another year, it wasn't renewed. Yeah, it's so insane. I mean, it's so disgusting. I don't even can't even wrap my head around that. Really sick. I'm so sick. And I genuinely can't wrap my head around why that would make somebody stop working with you. Like I don't understand. It's infuriating. It's genuinely infuriating. And I know it's like, well, why weren't people more outraged when this happened or when it was talked about? But these sometimes these things get buried. I never even saw this happen. And it's only coming up now. And then you feel like a piece of shit because you're like, I wish I knew about this. And I wish I saw it when it was talked about. And unfortunately I didn't. And that's sucks. It really does. It's really infuriating. It's disgusting. I can't wrap my head around that. Like, can you imagine sitting in a room with people and being like, hate impenetior, talked about her postpartum depression, we're not renewing her. What the fuck does that even mean? Where does that even, how does that even end up? That doesn't stick with what we stand for here. But then do you stand for with Neutrogena? What do you stand for then? If that's not what you align with? Like, not good. Somebody opening up about their postpartum depression is not something women can control. You know what I'm saying? It's just insane. And should be encouraged to be discussed. To talk about it because people suffer and, you know, yeah, unfortunate things happen. So yeah, it's, it's crazy. And I feel just so sorry for her. And I know I just feel like, you know, talking about child actors and being this business. And there's just more stories about that. And, yeah, you know, obviously the downfalls of what they deal with. So, it just incredibly sad. Yeah, definitely. Well, there isn't really many other, you know, big topics that are happening right now. I see that the Earls are doing their press. They started their press for Earl Meets World. We got the poster. The trailer comes out. I think the poster is very reminiscent of Kardashians back in the day. I don't know if they totally purposely did that. I'm sure maybe there was a play on it where it's like, you know, Kim Kardashian was the front and center of all the kids on the back. So we got to play on that. I've seen Ashton Earl make a tech talk being like, I don't stand with any the behavior of what I did on that show. So I'm really interested in seeing this show because the way that Alex and Ashton have been talking about the show, they're like, they don't want people to see it. Maybe that's a, maybe that's a marketing tactic. Yeah. If they're like, we don't want people to see this, I want to see it. Right. That could also just be such a fear with like a first season of reality show where maybe you're either trying too hard when the cameras are up or you're not trying or like, you feel maybe like out of your body a little bit and you're not totally being yourself. And then when it's over, you look back and you're like, wait, what the fuck was that? And on the other side of that, Brooks Nader jumped into the ocean fully clothed with her shoes on as well, just to go to completely, you know, go the opposite way. I saw that I was cracking up. My friends and our Instagram group said that one of my friends goes, uh, what, what it must be like to live life like Brooks Nader. I was like, honestly, she lives a great fucking life. I would love to be reincarnated as Brooks Nader. Like, it's just just one of those, one of those things where I just, she's generally having a great fucking time doing what she does. And you can't knock that stilettos up in the air in the ocean. Uh-huh. Rocking it. She know, hey, she also knows everybody's watching her right now. So that's a big, big point as well. That's another reality show people are waiting for the, for the second season of. So yeah, they haven't announced the date of that. Have
No, they have not. They have not. They're probably waiting for this, like the, the Earl cycle to end so that they can, then they can, then we can get the natives in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. There's only one, one spot. You don't want to, you don't want to be putting up those shows at the same time, little conflict. Yeah. That is a little bit of a conflict. Yeah. That is space now. We'll be watching both. So obviously. Um, and that's really the, the catch up for, for today, um, little catch up. We can do pop corner. We're going to pop corner. People are taking their August break. And then when September rolls around, the drama's going to start again. We got New York Fashion Week. There's always it. We shit happening around that time. So let's, uh, let's get into the pop corner. Today's pop corner is presented by truly truly. Is it just about drinking? It's about letting loose and being your real truly self.

So you can grab a truly wild berry pack today. All right, let's get into the popcorn or we're taking your hot takes, your voicemails, your opinions. Let's play that first voicemail. Hey, Rea, friend and Noah. I guess maybe this is more for friends because she likes animated movies as much as I do. But I just listened to the voicemail from whenever a girl called in about the Odyssey having too many A-list actors. My qualm is animated movies need to stop having such big names and they need to bring back like real voice actors like the new movie with Tennessee Shalame and Selena Gomez. I think the concept sounds really cute but I just don't think Selena Gomez or Tennessee Shalame have like animated voices like they're just their own same like the Super Mario movie Chris Pratt with Mario. I'm not interested in hearing Chris Pratt as Mario. I only hear him as Chris Pratt. I want like a Jim Cummings type who did winning the poo and voiced all of those other amazing iconic Disney characters and you'd never know that it was the same guy. Silly, but for Ian Trimman, I know maybe you have some opinions on this. Bye. I'm not opposed to this. I take, I actually think that's pretty fair. I think it's incredibly fair because I think you're right. That's Selena Gomez and Timothy Shalame don't really have to be an animated character voices. Well, what's the one that Selena did before? Pochelle Transylvania? Oh, I guess she has done it before. Weirdly enough, I actually think she does more than Timothy because I just think she has like, she's a very unique sounding voice. That can be, I think, adapted for more of like an animation situation, animation situation. Education, connection, remember that commercial? Get connected, yeah. And Timothy, great actor and everything he does. I don't know. I don't know if this is like where animated is maybe a little bit of like a lower lift for these big A-list stars and they're like, yeah, I'll do it. It's worked out for some where it's like you cash in that payday. I think you know, like, I'm sure Amy Polar doesn't regret inside out ever. Right, but I think it's more for the voice actors that are looking for work that are like incredibly talented voice actors that can change their voice. This is sound like anything they want. Yeah, it's like we should be giving them the right. They should get the move and they should probably get more looks for movie stuff because I'm sure they get a lot for TV. Right. They get TV commercial. Oh, no one lets me do the big movies because that's when they hire Shalame. Right. And if I was a voice actor, I'd be, I'd be pretty pissed. Yeah. Like let me get a shot at one of these animated films. I feel like that's pretty fair. I also wanted to say that like we know what was out for today's episode. I feel like we maybe should have clarified because it sounds like we've just left him out of the. Yes. Well, I was respecting his privacy. But just so I feel like people would be like, right. Where's Noah? He hasn't said one word. Yeah, that's true. No, we're respecting it. When's the last episode he hasn't said one word? That's true. That's true. Never. No one fortunately lost his grandpa this past weekend. So he is taking the time off for the service. And some time with his family. Send and send in love to his family. And yes, that's why you haven't heard his voice. Yes. And you won't get any hot takes for this episode. But don't worry, he will be back for Friday's episodes. All right, let's play the next one. Hi, Ria, Fran and Noah. I'm calling, it's not that we have some Puerto Rico. I'm calling because I have an unpopular opinion about gilmar girls. I'm calling to say that, Ria, save yourself. Good dammit. Don't fall into the temptation. Perfect. Hi, baby. Last fall because it was gilmar girls. See, then I haven't, I had a costume before. And I was really disappointed. I was like rage-baited. I think into watching it. My best friend would say to watch it. I didn't like it at all. I'm sorry, Fran. I'm sorry. But I didn't like it at all. I didn't like the characters. I won't say hate, but I didn't like the characters. I feel like the writers hate their own characters. I didn't like the storylines. I don't want to say spoilers because I don't know if we will watch it at some time. But that's my own popular opinion. I want to say more, but I don't want to spoil it. But I think it would be funny to see Ria react to it because I think she's going to have my single opinion. I don't know. Okay, maybe I'll love you, too. Maybe I'll do a series where I react to gilmar girls watching for the first time. Now, here's the thing. You said I want to know how much she watched of it. At what point is it okay for someone to throw on the towel and say they don't like the show? Fair, but I think when you're like, I hate all the characters. I just, I'm gonna kill how much have you seen? That's just all I want to know. I'm like, did she watch three episodes and then say I ate this. But at what point does it like how far do you want me to watch before I give up on it? I think you have to watch the full first season. Okay. So full first season, then if I don't like it. I think if you're like office after one season, then then forget it. Okay, I think that's fair. But because there are there's seven seasons. So it's like watching three episodes. I just don't think he or whatever, if you only watched a couple episodes, I don't just don't think it gives you the whole thing. But it is, it was a, you know, on TV sitcom of that time. So it's like the standard. It has like maybe what 20, 20 or low 20s probably per season. So I would say if you make it through one season and you're like, I absolutely do not like this, then I would never be like, you have to keep going. How long are the episodes hour or half hour hour. Okay. But hour like on TV is like four minutes, whatever, 548 minutes. Yeah. They're all, I'm actually looking right now. They're all 44 minutes. Okay. At least the first from the first season. Well, I am now more interested hearing somebody say they hate it because. And here's the thing. It makes me feel normal when someone says like either they love something or hate something. And there's both. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because if it's just everybody loves Gilmore Girls and then I turn Gilmore Girls on and I watch a full season and I hate it, I'm going to feel like a freak show. Like, I'm going to feel like I'm, oh, there's definitely people out there that don't like it. There's definitely people out there that don't like it. Okay. But I do see myself loving this kind of show. It's, it's made for me. Yeah. I love any sort of young person. Yeah. You know, drama like this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or you know, whatever you want to describe. I just think you would very also very much appreciate Laura like Gilmore's humor. Like she's very sarcastic. Right. I, you know, love that. So we, I'm going to go into it. Open-minded as can be. Yes. Yeah. And maybe I'll film my reactions. Yeah. That would be fun. The episodes. Hi, this is Sammy from Pennsylvania. And I remember years ago, you talking about your favorite teen drama boys. And I know since then, there have been so many new shows come out. You know, the summer I train pretty, off campus, etc. And I was wondering who currently is your favorite teen drama boy or young adult drama boy from a show? I know from me personally Nathan Scott from One Tree Hills It's been my favorite since I was growing up in the 2000s.
thousands, but Konrad Fisher and Garrett Graham have definitely made their way up the list. So yeah, he's your favorite team drama boy. And yeah, I love your show. Thank you so much for everything you do and take care. - Thank you. I love this question. I can talk about this for hours. So my favorites were Nathan Scott Liam from 9-0-2-1-0, I loved. - Yeah. - Both Ryan and Seth from the OC. Now because usually you're like a Ryan or you're a Seth girl. - Yeah. - I love both. - Yeah, I love both of them. - Yeah. - And it depends on the episode, which one I love more. - I was very much and I know there's like a lot of Lucas haters, but I was also like a Lucas and Nathan Scott gave me both those brothers. - You are such a Lucas Scott gal. - I know. - Because he was like a poet. - I loved, well my, like my first few early watches of "Wentery Hill," like it wasn't until I got older that I, that I loved Nathan Scott as much as I did, but like I, I just think like, you know, I was pulled to a toxic situation. And I wanted Peyton and Lucas to be together so badly. Like I love them so much. - That's, that's a fair. - Yeah. - That's a fair take. - Well, looking back is like, oh, they shouldn't ever even be together. - Okay, but like we need to just suspend reality when we're watching these shows. - Yeah. - And when you're watching these shows, unfortunately, when they're like cheating on each other and stuff, - Yeah. - Sometimes you root for it, not in real life. - Yeah. - Not in real life. - Yeah. - Fully against that in real life. We hate that in real life. - Yeah. - Hate it. - Yeah. - You shouldn't be doing it. - Garrett Grimbs gotta be up there for you now, no? - I'm Dean. - Dean and Garrett. - Like it now, that's, that's a hard one. 'Cause I'm like, some days it's Dean, some days it's Garrett. - Yeah. - And I don't know, most days, give me both. - Oh, no. - Yeah, okay. - No, that is so inappropriate. That is so inappropriate. - Matt has been gone for too long. He's been gone. - Maria. - And you know what, that's the beauty of my husband is that he just lets whatever fly out of my mouth. 'Cause he knows I do it for the shock value. And I just get a little, come on. Come on. - Yeah. - Now if he said that. - Disass. - Disass. - Oh my God. - If you get what he did, what he did, what he did? - If you get what I'll squeeze, squeeze. - Little of one of these, you'd be pushing about the window. - No, that's where double standards come into play. It's like, yeah, I can do that. It's totally different. It's totally different for guys and girls. 'Cause we, you know what I mean? It's like, this is banter. This is fun. We're just being girls. - Yeah. - You're being a fucking pervert. If you start squeezing breaths in the air, that's, you're being a pervert. You're being a weirdo, creepy weirdo. I can do dick motions. - Yep. - Oh man, I sometimes I go too far. I do, and it is what it is. - Well, look, those two guys are definitely happy. They gotta be number one and two right now, no. - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I mean, no. - Top 10, everyone else is far down the list. - Right. County baby is up there, am I right? - Well, Conrad is also, I mean, God, does everybody have five hours available? Because that's really break this one down. Okay, let's make it short. - I honestly just, let's do a bracket. - I'm past my legs and I got comfortable for a minute. Because we have to go through this, because I was sickly obsessed with Chuck Bass back in the day. - Like, so was it. - Yeah, you and Lee. - Yeah. - It was like, took over my entire world. - I watched that one abgest I was. - What was the one episode, like season three, the one episode where, you know, these chases are in the street and the song plays the lemon, and I love you. - Oh, that one song, that is like, I only think of Gossip Girl when I hear that song. - Oh, I was thinking about, I think it's season two, where it's episode seven, Victoria, Vectrola and it's some 41 without you or with me, please, what's that one? Some 41 with me, yeah, some 41 with me, Gossip Girl. - That's a good one. - Victoria, that's when she loses, a season one episode seven, yeah, loses her virginity to Chuck. - Yeah. - With sickly obsessed with him. Now though, season of love, Shining Toy Guns, that just takes you right back to the place where you're watching that episode, season two, episode 25. - Yes. - Everybody has that moment of Gossip Girl. Here's the thing though, in recent years, when I've rewatched Gossip Girl, it does not do it for me whatsoever, Chuck. It did not. - Yeah, no. It actually doesn't hit the same at all, which is so. - No, no, not at all. So he's like pretty much, if we are doing a bracket, he's included, we have to do a bracket on this. Okay, so that one, it comes to Conrad. Now that I've been introduced to the off-campus guys, Conrad is like such a pussy to me. - I can't, I'm sorry. - Yeah. I, you know, here's the thing. I think you have off-campus supremacy in your mind. - I do, because I think that I would have watched the summer, I then would love it. - But he's just like me, me, me, me. - Yeah. - You know, yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it. - But I also, Liam 901O was huge for me. Huge, loved him as well. - Yeah, yeah. - So really, I mean, it's so hard, it's so hard. But right now, I do just have off-campus, like goggles on. And it's hard not to put garlandine in the top two spots. - Right. - Trying to think of like. - But Nathan Scott is right under there. Ryan and Seth was right under there. - I got to really go through the shows. - Oh my God, how could I even forget Damon? - Oh, I mean, Damon's out there. - Yeah, Damon, how could we forget? - Damon's up there. How could we forget? - Yeah, yeah, there's a lot. It's the list really goes on. Damon's high up there for me too. - God. - All right, well, that wraps up the show now. - It's a good question though. We should maybe do a bracket on this. - Yeah. - 'Cause you also can really throw in all the ones from Gilmour Girls, what you'll learn about as well. - Instead of the show goes, there's just so many shows you can include. - Yeah, instead of March Madness. - So where do we cut it off? - We'll do this bracket. - In March. - We might as well just like pick a year, you know, like we're going to pick like 2000 and now. So we can't be dipping into 90 stuff. That is so many people. - Right, 'cause then I also loved Saved by the Bell. - Yeah. - Zach Morris, I loved Zach. - Yeah. - So I mean, God. - I know. - It's just too many. - You have to like keep it in like that teen. - The teen drama, 2000s. - Double B era. - Yeah. Like ABC Family. - CW, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Because then we're forgetting MTV shows, Teen Wolf. - Yeah. - I loved Maddie from Awkward. Maddie from Awkward. Like that we're now dipping into the MTV shows. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And you know who I loved too? Clay from One Tree Hill, who had some of the most bizarre storylines anybody could ever have. And yet, I really did. - I loved him. - He really did, unfortunately. That one just made-- - He had such a bizarre story. - That one just made no sense. - He just fucking forgot about his kid. - Like totally forgot he had a child. - Yeah. - Yeah, that is absurd. - That was, that was. - Well, all right, we'll brainstorm this. Maybe we'll do some, you know, March Madness is right around the corner. - Yes, we're almost there. We are almost there. But it really is hard. I know one really can overtake One Tree Hill personally in my mind, despite these new boys putting in quite the effort to top everybody's lists these days. - It's actually sickening though. Like watching off campus is, it's like sickening. - No, it is, you're right, it is. - But we can't forget about the rest of the off campus guys as well. But we need to just like leave them off, like the whole show off the list. - Because we need to go back to like our roots. - Yeah. - And like the Scott brothers are at the roots. - Yeah, those sees at the roots, all that. So yeah, all right, let's do one more. - I'd be a friend of Noah, this is Sammy from Chicago. I wouldn't imagine this take as hotly, never known. I think we need more dong in movies, okay? (dramatic music) Hey guys.
we're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back. It's Fran from Chicks in the Office. The weather is getting cooler and Abercrombie's fall drop has everything I need for the season. The best-selling A&F Sloan Taylor pant is a closet staple for me. I'm always wearing it to work events, happy hour, anytime I want to be a bit more dressed up. And the Viral Dillon dress is easy, one-and-done perfection. But my fall uniform will always be denim pair with a Henley sweater, a bra-free top. It's comfortable, effortless, it just never fails. Find your fall capsule at Abercrombie, shop in the app online and in stores. All right now, back to the show. Guys, if you stay down on the suit or looking at me in every direction like a Mona Lisa, dig a ballority's Johnson should be slaying in, okay? And you know, like, come on, you need to make me shout in there like it's telling me I don't know what you're doing. Yeah, just proud of something down there. And I'm not trying to sound like a pervert. I might be ovulating, but I think this one I was representing. Literally, is this you? I give over just talking about Dix. I've never forgot about that since 2015. I'm going down the dog and gone girl. If you want to see more, don't. Sure it was fake. I got to be honest. I don't really want to see more dog in movies. Like I actually just love that she was like, this is probably not that have a take, but let me see more Dix. I'm actually not asking for that. I got to be honest. I'm actually pretty okay without seeing them. I'm pretty okay as well. And here's the thing, like we're just dealing with different parts of the body. Women have beautiful boobs. Boobs are beautiful. Breasts. Buzza are gorgeous. Boobs are beautiful. Boobs are universal. Everybody can appreciate a nice tip. Dongs? Not so much. Dongs are like, it's almost like when you're in the heat in the moment, right? Dongs are great. But then after, you know, Dongs can go back into their place. You know, they're, Dongs are great in the moment for when you want them and when you need them. But they're not there to like stare at. No, you know, you look at Dong too long in the eye. Sorry, I was looking back to you, right? So I was talking to you, yeah, you know, and men, they, they don't want people to see it either. So at the time, movies and TV, what you're seeing, it's fake because I would fake, it's fake. I would argue that all boobs are beautiful. I would not argue that about dicks. I think there are some pretty grotesque dicks out there. Yeah, I would argue that. Super fair. You do not agree? I'm sorry. There's people walking around with some gross ass dicks. Super fair. And I'm sorry. If you got one of those, sorry, yeah, I get it in the sense that like, there's a lot of, there's a lot more nudity that women have to do in these, in these, in the, in the film world than men have to do. Right. And there's no like way around it in that situation. It's like these men can flap, they can slap on a fake penis and be like, here's my penis. It's right. It's a total. It's a prosthetic. Here's my dong. It's like, it's very hard to do. It's very hard to do for the top half. Right. You know what I still haven't seen? I've always covered my eyes to this day is the, the balls or dicks and stepbrothers when he goes, puts his nuts on the, on the drums set. Yeah. When the movie first came out, I was too young and my parents let me watch it, but they would tell me to cover my eyes at this part. Yeah, yeah, still to this day. I haven't seen it. I might look it up after this. Just have to check it out. I might have to check it out after this because curiosity killed the cat. Like I might have to go see what these balls are all about. But you know, stand up for what you believe in. If you want to see more dogs out there, then, you know, keep that energy, I suppose. Then that's, yeah, but no, I'm good. I think I'm alright as well. Yeah. Like listen, we were all talking funny games about these guys at the voicemail beforehand. I'm good with just seeing one dick for the rest of my life. I am. I'm very okay with it. I'm very good. And so, yeah, you know, no dong, no dong. No more one last one last dog. But did Ben Affleck show his dog and gone girl? I think Ben Affleck was naked. But I bet you he wasn't actually. Like it wasn't his real DD. That's what I'm thinking. He did do a full frontal scene, fairly. Yeah. Oh, no prosthetics. Ben Affleck full frontal gone girl. Allegedly, no prosthetics. Tell me, tell me where I could find that. So, I never look it up. All right. So movies, I'm watching after this. And then it's like the funny thing that they say is like afterwards when they're like asked and he's like, that was all me. Like they have to like they have to then they're then asked to talk about their dong in the movie. Yeah. So many times that now I I'll never say they were dong again in my life. For tonight's docket. For tonight's dog. We have so brothers and a dog girl. So to wrap up, Ria is going to solve her boredom by putting on gone girls and for no particular reasons. No, I have no idea. I'm sorry. I'm getting sweaty. I have no idea. Ben Affleck went full frontal. I actually just watched gone girl. Here's the thing though. I think because I watched it like on TV. Right. You know, like maybe they don't leave it in. If it's on like HBO. No, but HBO, they would leave it in. If I was a guy and maybe it was on like TBS or something. If I was a guy and they wanted me to show my dong in a movie. Yeah, I think I would be like I have to be a rock hard. Yeah. You know, yeah. And most of the, a lot of times that's not the case. I feel like that's not the case. I feel like there's not. There is hang in there. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, which is what people don't want to see. Yeah. All right. Well, the hell of a way to wrap up today's episode. Listen, sometimes this is where you end up. This is just you're just your dong out. Yeah. Yeah. This is just I don't feel proud of today's episode. As a whole. Just like don't have much else to add after that. I just can't believe she prefaces with that. Well, I don't think that this is really a hot take. I would be curious to know all their people's opinions. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Because it is, you know, there is such a, there is a pressure and no one should be pressured to do any sort of need to do that they don't want to do. It always falls on the woman it does. So I get it on that side where it's like, hey, get these men out there and they have to, they have to do it. Yeah, they got to pull their load. Yeah, but I don't want to, but I don't really want to. Right. But I want them to, I want it to not just be the ladies, but I don't really want to see their penises. Yes. But I'm also not like ew gross. You know, no, no, no. And if it fits the storyline. Yes. Then it's good. When it's like unwanted, when it's either unwanted or completely unnecessary and does nothing, you're like, well, that was ridiculous. Same thing. I feel that same way with boobs. Sometimes when it's just like, there's just boobs, you're like, all right, like, we know what this, we know what this director was doing. There was no need for that. Right. Exactly. Right. And then you, and then you start to question like, did she want to do that? It was the director. Like it would be great if you went topless here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, not in a creepy way, but we think boobs are beautiful to wrap up this conversation. Boops are gorgeous. Yeah. Dicks can be ugly. Yeah. Boops are great. Boops are great. Even in front of your dad, no, I'm kidding. You know, um, never mind. I'm not, I'm done. I'm done. No, you know what? That wraps up today's episode. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's all we have. That's it. We'll see you guys on Friday. All right. Yeah. Everybody. I have a great rest of your week. We'll see you on Friday. We love you all. Bye. Hope you still love us. Yeah. In the office, uh, a long time listener. First time caller.

Summary:
The podcast episode captures a candid, humorous reflection on the mid-August boredom that feels like a "movie" — a time when life slows and solitude becomes noticeable. The host shares how being apart from a partner amplifies the feeling of being unoccupied, leading to excessive texting and over-planning. A personal story about long nails turning painful during a manicure highlights how physical discomfort disrupted routine tasks, ultimately leading to a temporary switch to bare nails, which brought a sense of freedom and ease in daily life.
The conversation expands into broader themes of authenticity, real talk, and shared joy — from analyzing reality TV shows like *Surviving Barstool*, where the host praises the show’s gossipy, unfiltered energy, to reflecting on strong friendships like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s lifelong bond. The episode also touches on media overreaction, such as public outrage over Pippa Middleton’s wedding dress, and critiques how brands like Neutrogena allegedly terminated a relationship over a personal discussion about postpartum depression — a moment the host finds deeply unfair and dismissive of real women’s experiences. Amid the chaos, the hosts emphasize the value of real, unfiltered connection, drawing parallels to the authenticity found in simple choices like wearing comfortable underwear or drinking refreshing, low-sugar beverages.
The episode ends with a light-hearted pop corner on Truly drinks and an open invitation for listener opinions, reinforcing the show’s theme: embracing genuine, unpolished moments as a form of joy and self-expression.
