We went straight to my in-laws house to see my mother-in-law for her birthday, went swimming, came home, everybody showered, got changed. We went straight to dinner out at the beach. yeah.
00:01:15
Speaker
Sunday was like, yeah. So like I woke up Monday morning and me and Jumina were like, there's no, no, there's no way of recording to tonight. So here we are a little bit late, but nonetheless, we are here. You guys, I have to tell you this crazy, before we get into the wine, I have to tell you this crazy story that happened tonight with Kennedy. Not crazy, just like, like what?
00:01:40
Speaker
I'm sat. I'm sat. So, she starts saying that her tooth is hurting. Now her two bottom teeth in the middle are her big teeth, her adult teeth. And then the one of them like to the side is growing in. They're saying her tooth is hurting. Her tooth is hurting. And we're like, you know, like what, like what could be going on? Like we come to realize that it's probably her tooth growing in and like her teeth probably adjusting a little bit, making room.
00:02:06
Speaker
Well, she starts crying. She's like, do I have a cavity? Do I have a cavity? And she's like, like, hysterically crying. Then like, we're like, we can't see, like you can't see a cavity. Then she gets upset and is like, I'm going to have a gold tooth. I'm going to have a gold tooth or a silver tooth. And I'm going to be the only person in this family with a gold tooth. And it's going to be right in the middle of it. I mean, sobbing. And then she'd calm down and she would start sobbing again and kept talking about this gold tooth that she was going to have. And Craig was like, okay, ah first of all, a cavity is not going to get you
00:02:41
Speaker
a tooth, a cap, like gold gold or silver wrap. And like, they don't even think they did this anymore. but I was like, you know what? I can talk to your dentist and ask her that's the yearly month. Like just like putting like flame or whatever in the fire, like fanning the fire. And she was just distraught, like hysterically crying over thinking she was going to have some like shiner of a tooth in the like very front of her mouth.
00:03:06
Speaker
It was wild. was so wild. But also like to your to your point, um what's parenting if we can't troll our kids a little bit? Oh, my God. Absolutely. i'm in trouble And then we're like, go on down yeah, you had to make it a little fun. I told her I was like, well, you don't have to worry about your Halloween costume is going
Co-Parenting Humor and Skincare Jokes
00:03:22
Speaker
be anymore. You can be a pirate.
00:03:27
Speaker
please Go on Amazon and buy this girl a grill. I mean, and when you present it to her, of course, you have to have something blasting in the background. And now it means you grill like, yeah, yeah you know what? Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:42
Speaker
I need that to be done, please. So anyways, that's like, i I'm like coming off like fresh from that, like jarring confrontation or whatever you want to call it. So I had to tell because I was just like, Greg and I were like, wait, is she, this is serious. I mean, you guys, she just kept crying, like would stop and I would start crying again about this tooth.
00:04:01
Speaker
Yes. You didn't do you the Jessica trend with a tantrum. We didn't, she would have been like, I know what that is. I've seen it done before. Jessica doesn't have a gold tooth. Like it would have just been probably even more of a disaster. So, you know, dead well, it doesn't work anyway. Like it worked for 0.5 seconds for my children. And now I'm actually on the other end of the trend in which they're asking where Jessica is all the time. So it it was not a success. of a treatment here, but that's hilarious.
00:04:31
Speaker
The gold tooth. I, I can't, you guys have to get her a girl. Like there's no other option, but to get her a girl. Right. Just a little, like a little, to like little cap, you know, like the, yeah the guys come alone.
00:04:43
Speaker
I'm turning my light off because I did my skincare and I literally see the reflection off my forehead. Like tell me I'm getting bangs tomorrow immediately. Stop. We love a little, ah we love a little, glu what does the Haley Bieber If I'm not going to bed looking like a glazed donut, like I'm doing something wrong with my skincare. We love a little. And thank you so much for that shout out because this is actually road skincare on my face.
Wine of the Week: Zucardi Torrentes
00:05:05
Speaker
Very big fan of road skincare. If you have not tried it, if if you try one product, one, which is my Holy grail now, try the glazing milk it's right after you wash your face you can do a midiq pour pad and then put on some glazing milk 10 out of 10 and we'll get into that because tonight we are actually going to be bringing up her name a little bit um with our pop culture episode which ah spoiler alert it's a pop culture night kind of night but before we get into that are you ready to wine with the wine of the week i sure am
00:05:40
Speaker
And I probably should not have started it because I don't know how to say this wine. So here we go. Anyways, tonight we're drinking Zucardi Torrentes. Yes. And you should, you, you, it's from Argent, it's an Argentinian wine. So okay then in the Spanish, it's Zucardi Torrentes. Okay. Like we say in Spanish way. There you go. R's there a little bit.
00:06:04
Speaker
You did so well. I'm so proud of you so much. Thank you so much. That was it. Like, I go, I see big words coming up. So you see my eyes, like, know, know you were like, okay, no, I said that I'm nervous for what's to follow.
00:06:17
Speaker
um i'm nervous for what's to follow All right, I'll take it away. it all began in 1963 when engineer Alberto Zuccardi, obsessed with the constant fight against the desert in Mendoza, planted the family's first vineyard to showcase the advantages of a new irrigation system he had invented.
00:06:35
Speaker
This led him to discover his true passion for viticulture, paving the way for the generations that followed. In 1985, his son Jose has so assumed responsibility for leading the family business. Like his father, Jose's innovative and visionary spirit have made him one of Argentina's most enthusiastic wine ambassadors, elevating the winery and the Argentine wine industry to the highest global recognition, which I think is really, really cool that this family has helped put Argentinian wines on the map. And no, we are not drinking a Malbec. I know we know
00:07:11
Speaker
Malbecs are very highly regarded in Argentina, but this is actually a white wine that we are drinking tonight. I know, which I'm always down for a white wine. Mm-hmm. In 1999, Sebastian, which is Jose's son, embarked on a personal project with several friends to craft sparkling wines in the Yuko Valley. A few years later, he joined the family winery, leading their development in the high mountain region of the Yuko Valley. And in 2007, planted their first vineyard in that same area. You know, I'm always so curious, like, how do they just like pick the area? They're just like this. Like, do they do like the wind test? you know, you stick your finger in your mouth. Like, how do you know?
00:07:48
Speaker
Yeah, it's like this feels right. I have no idea. They have to have like such knowledge in the land and like the terroir itself. Like just like that just they have to have such knowledge. like This is where I'm going to plant it. This is where I'm to like really like grow like lay your roots, basically, like truly.
00:08:05
Speaker
no pun intended. But yeah, I mean, literally, not in the and but they're obviously doing something right. I mean, that's what they're doing. um And in 2022, Zuccardi actually became the only winery in Argentina with three wines awarded 100 points by Robert Parker, who is a wine advocate, putting the Paraje Altamira region on the map as on.
00:08:30
Speaker
Oh, as one of the world's best horrors. You you and you did that to me. So sorry. You did that to me. The face of fear. Like that was you. i Yeah. That was. Look the back. Like run it back. I saw my eyeballs when I read that out loud and then realized it was.
00:08:47
Speaker
I was reading along with you and I'm like, damn, I missed the E there. I missed the E for my girl. bad. Bye bad. I'll take that one. So this this wine is pale yellow in color with greenish reflections. Interesting. On the nose, it displays typical aromas of the variety, such as linden flower, citrus fruit, and white fruit, always with a fresh and elegant profile. The palate is dry with very lively acidity and good volume. Citrus fruit notes persist in the finish. It's an aromatic, elegant, and fresh wine. So this varietal is actually made up of three different varietals. The names were really but really big, but they're all Tarentes something. terents Like there's three different.
00:09:26
Speaker
So this is new for us. And this specific wine, the price is between $16 and $20. So they very, very reasonably priced. And we love to try something a little bit new.
Coachella Performances and Reactions
00:09:38
Speaker
i know. And this tonight I'm actually being fancy in one of my Kate Spade wine glasses. I love those. It makes the lighting in my... closet office if you will recording studio make always makes my white wines kind of weird but it i did also turn my light down so it's making it worse because you know the forehead was foreheading and not that you all can see thank god but if you do don't leave me mean comments don't leave me mean comments also greg is watching the lighting game right now and i just saw some of his audio come through on mine so we're gonna be cutting that out i he like whooped really loud and ni yeah I just saw some audio come up on my end. So we will be editing that out. Are you ready to try this wine?
00:10:21
Speaker
I'm ready to try. okay. Wait, yours kind of looks like what mine, when you just lifted it up, it kind of looked like, I don't want to, I don't want to describe it this way, but it looks kind of like pea yellow, but it did say it's pale yellow, greenish reflection. So maybe that's why it looks a little bit Maybe. a tone But anyways, let's have a little sippy sip. Let's see. Cheers.
00:10:42
Speaker
Cheers.
00:10:47
Speaker
That is lovely. was not expecting that after just saying it looks like pee yellow. I'm, I'm, I'm, I can't tell my work. back morning um but Have a good time.
00:10:58
Speaker
I'm about to have a good time tonight. I'm having a second glass of wine. This is fantastic.
00:11:05
Speaker
That's just like smooth. Like I have no notes right now. I honestly don't have any notes. Oh my gosh. I don't even know what to i don't i don't even know what to say. I didn't even smell it beforehand. Normally why I like to smell it, but it smells. And I even have one of my, like, and I, you I'm, we're like, I feel like we're reversed right now. I always have like the full wine glass and I have the, my plastic, like non-breakable stemless. I know I should have. And mind you, this is saying a lot. The reason why I don't have it in my usual, like stemless, like cooling, what's it called? Stainless steel. Stainless steel. Yeah.
00:11:41
Speaker
Um, is because i did not have the time to actually cool this, like chill this wine. And so that's saying a lot, the fact that the flavor is still flavoring with it not even being chilled.
00:11:52
Speaker
Yeah. I'm little overly impressed right now. I'm very, very impressed by this and very excited that we get to take this wine into a fun pop culture episode because it's just so fun to chatty chat all the things.
00:12:06
Speaker
And you kind of, i don't want to start off so strong with Coachella and Justin Bieber, but we're going to do that because we already talked about Hailey Bieber. I will say her lip liner, which I feel like everyone talks about like her actual skincare.
00:12:21
Speaker
I have a lip liner that is so wonderful. The color is just so perfect it's not too dark but you can see i'm i'm obsessed so i am not ignorant i have to look at what what it's called but it's yeah you know i swear by my way my wherever walnut and so it's lighter than that because wherever walnut is a little bit darker but this is lighter than that and i love it i think it's like it just goes with Everything. So I have to send you mine now.
00:12:49
Speaker
Yeah. I'll have to send you which one it is. But anyways, Haley Bieber, Justin Bieber, we've all seen the videos. If you have not seen Justin Bieber's performance at, Oh, that might be mine. Wait.
00:13:03
Speaker
Well, they all look the same. I mean, okay the packaging is always the same. So the one that I have is the color press. And it's kind of like, I kind of remind, it's more like a pinky tone. don't think. Yes, it's got a little bit of pinky tone to it. that might Versus the whatever walnut.
00:13:18
Speaker
Yes, yes. That's the same as mine. I'll have to look at what it's called. pressed. Color is pressed. I don't know if that's the one you have, but we can confirm on a letter date. But yes, I vouch. Anyways, everything road that I've tried so far,
00:13:32
Speaker
Wonderful. Compliments to the chef. Wonderful. The Beavers are, listen, the Beavers are doing well, especially since his comeback at, go I don't want to call it comeback, but it kind of was. And it was in the most like beautiful, heartwarming. You just like, if you've been a Bieber fan, and you've seen thep not even if you're a fan, if you've just followed like everything that he's been through in his life and just like Yeah, all the stories. and like Oh, my God. What's this kid getting into? What's wrong? All that like it's been everything. This was just the most wonderful thing to watch. I can't say witness. I've seen I've seen the performances like I didn't really witness that I was there, but we're just the most beautiful thing to watch.
00:14:13
Speaker
Yeah, I think there's been like lots of mixed reviews though, right? Because I think a lot of people, it's it's either you love him and you like didn't care for anything other than watching him in whatever he brought. But then there was also the people that are like, wait, he played from a laptop and just sang along to his songs. And it's like he didn't do all his songs that way. Yes, did he? And I saw something, which I don't know how true it is, but I did see some – reports i guess you could say that the reason he did the laptop and did it off of youtube is because he is also kind of going through something very similar that taylor swift went through in regards to owning the rights to his music and i believe it's the same person i think it's still scooter brawn isn't that who taylor swift had the issues with yeah um yeah again don't quote me on my sources on that but that's how he did it so it makes sense yeah so makes sense but like just like
00:15:05
Speaker
Give me the world tour. I'm ready. I'm ready. i like i'm I'm signed up. yeah Whatever needs to be done. willing to purchase willing to be there um I don't know mentally whatever from the Harry Styles tickets that we didn't get like don't think I can go through that again but I'm absolutely there with you I think that I get what people are saying where like he's saying with like he's saying along but I think it was almost like maybe healing for him and think that was very artistic of him to do some people will probably disagree with that
00:15:41
Speaker
And he was really cool to see him singing like with his younger self, like these songs that like, and he is like um completely different person right now versus then. i don't know him personally, obviously, but like you just, the things that you've seen and read and heard the kid that was in those videos is very different than the man he is is now. so I just thought it was really like
Madonna's Wardrobe Theft and Other Highlights
00:16:05
Speaker
really cool to see yeah Yeah, I agree. And I think, and it's also like, and I don't want to bring his name up because I feel like this person does not, is not worthy of being discussed, but like he was very much also talked about during the, the ditty of it all, if you will. Yes. Yeah. So like, I think this was a very healing inner child exercise for him um to do it in the manner that he did. So Anyway, sign me up. Willing to go through the Harry Styles trauma to get Justin Bieber World Tour tickets. um
00:16:39
Speaker
Another big thing was Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter yeah singing together. yes That was a big, big headline. except i recent I saw today or yesterday that her wardrobe, Madonna's vintage wardrobe was stolen. like who, who, why? That was like, you're either going to keep that or you've got have, like you've got if you're planning to sell that and make money off of it, You've got to know people who can like, I don't know, have connections because that it's not just like I thought, i oh, she's vintage from like somewhere. It was actually her own archive vintage outfit. Like it's her own outfit that she brought back out to then wear. And I'm like, that is so like, why? Like, what does someone get out of that outfit?
00:17:30
Speaker
Other than, of course, if they find someone that they can sell it to, hush hush, then i'm sure they've made a lot of money. But like, is it really worth not really worth it to be like, I don't know, a shitty person? i don't know. Yeah.
00:17:43
Speaker
Anyways, you know, I digress in the situation of that all. But I do think that was pretty iconic of s Sabrina Carpenter to have Madonna there. And I mean, there were so many like other guests. Like, who else did see? Who did Alex Warren have? Alex Warren had somebody.
00:17:58
Speaker
Well, you saw, um was it? Oh no, Blackpink or Pink Pantherists. They brought out Huntrix. Who was it? It was one of them. They brought Huntrix. have no idea Blackpink or Pink Pantherists is. like Oh, was it? That's like absolutely who Cat's Eye is. I was just as lost when him. that's it That Cat's Eye. It was Cat's Eye. It was Cat's brought out Huntrix. Oh, okay. Yes. I'm so lucky to do that. I have to tell you what it's on.
00:18:24
Speaker
Oh my God. Gabriella? No, i i don't live i don't leave I don't live with a 17, 18-year-old that can keep me up to date. So no, when when I saw them, I think it was like was it the Golden thing No, the Grammys.
00:18:39
Speaker
I'm like, who's this go girl group? And they're definitely lip syncing. Like, they're not even singing. Like, what's happening here? Yeah. Move on to the next. um But no, I mean, i did see um that they plan to release tickets to next year's Coachella May.
00:18:58
Speaker
I'm dabbling at the thought, man. I told Ben, I was like, how cool would that be? I didn't. Also, I didn't realize it was two different weekends.
Ella Langley's Musical Journey
00:19:05
Speaker
I thought it was like one weekend you're in and out. Like, no, it's two. It's two weekends. It's two weekends. And apparently the I saw some stats today on, because of Justin Bieber's performance, like tickets were going like way above, like resale tickets were going like crazy, crazy amount above. The biggest turnout or attended concert and like,
00:19:27
Speaker
I don't know how many years. So he was like setting records, but speaking of new music, definitely not a Coachella Justin Bieber level, but we love her all the same. Ella Langley just came out with a new album and i love her and Lainey Wilson. I love their Southern twang. I love their voices. I love their singing voices and their talking voices. I'm just like, take me into the country and just like get on a guitar. Let's sit by a bonfire and let's be best friends. Just like,
00:19:55
Speaker
I mean, I'm not saying I'll sing along with you, but like, I just love ah music. I just love their vibe. They're they just seem so fun. They seem like girls, girls. Oh, 1000% girls, girls. I agree.
00:20:07
Speaker
I'm obsessed with the album Dandelion. Like i love Ella Langley. And I think and I can't remember if it was Jelly Rolls.
00:20:19
Speaker
or who it was that she opened with years ago. and it's kind of like a Gracie Abrams situation, right? Like no one really knew her until she opened. And to see her come this far, I just love seeing like artists that like become openers for like such big people. And then they blossom into like a new favorite artists for me. Like I'm just obsessed. I'm obsessed with her album. it is amazing.
00:20:45
Speaker
so so so so good if you have not listened to it i highly recommend i mean this is one of the albums the intro it's called froggy and it's like i think it's called froggy i don't know it reminds me of froggy maybe it's not froggy regardless it's like goofy and silly but it's one of those like remember when albums used have intro songs it's like a little snippet like the only one i can think of is 98 degrees because they had like that talking intro in the beginning but yeah anyways besides that i i play it like while work and i just have it like love It's just good vibes.
Excitement for Upcoming Movie Sequels
00:21:19
Speaker
We love an album like that where you can put it on while you're working and it just kind of like keeps the vibes going like, nope, not going to get down about this because I'm listening to like just some jams and good music.
00:21:30
Speaker
Yes. Love music. um And to go along with music, we also have movies. that are coming out that are nostalgia center um one being the one and only devil wears prada the fact that they are we that they remade that with the pretty much the original and cast of course adding other people on is just like chef's kiss like cannot wait to watch it
00:22:01
Speaker
Checking all the boxes for me. Did i think that they needed a second? Do I feel like it was left open-ended? literally been 20 years. However, am I going to watch it?
00:22:13
Speaker
Yes, because i love all, I love Emily Blunt. I love Meryl Streep. I love Stanley Tucci and I love Anne Hathaway. Like I love all of them. So i love that they brought the original cast back and yeah, I i can't wait. I hope that they do the original.
00:22:31
Speaker
I hope to me do the original justice. That's one that like, if it's on the TV, there's not much on the And like, okay, I'm just, I'm going to talk, like put on devil wears Prada just to have on the background. That's one for me. I'm just like, it doesn't end up just being on in the background. It ends up being one where I'm just like enthralled every time. i love it.
00:22:49
Speaker
It's the cast. They're just so, so, so, so so good. And like, there's gonna be so many cameos. So like, I'm just so excited and so ready, but something that I'm also like, so excited and so ready for which i've already like sent out a group chat because there's a lot of my local orlando besties here that have never seen the first one and it just honestly hurts my soul because it's probably like my fate like top yeah favorite movie yeah um and that's magic
00:23:22
Speaker
Like you guys, if you have not seen Practical Magic, I need you to stop what you're doing right now. Even if it's, if you're in the middle of your workday, I need you to remove yourself from the environment and like go watch Practical Magic because there is nothing will make you cry, laugh.
00:23:40
Speaker
You'll be a little scared at certain periods. It's a little suspenseful. Like it literally, it's all wrapped in one and it's just. Had you heard of Inklings that there was a second one?
00:23:51
Speaker
I had not. I guess I didn't realize. Oh, i knew I knew. I knew when they started filming. Yes. I've been like, I realized it. Oh my gosh. The moment they like tease that they were filming it. I was like, I'm, I'm ready when please. So now that they've like announced that it's coming in September, I'm like even more ready. The spookies will begin in August. I'm going to do a preview viewing for everyone. and this is my official invite to everyone listening like come over we will watch the original before we go watch this in the theaters because I again like this is a movie for me that I'm obsessed like ah I'm obsessed oh my god I know I think outside of this and like the Selena movie or yeah Selena yeah Selena yeah movie Selena yeah

Speaker
this. Jamina, I'm having to slow down. Look at this. Same. Look.
00:25:14
Speaker
I'm having to slow down because it's so good. I know. I'm trying to pause and like drink my water in between. But anyway, it's Another honorable mention of something that's coming out here the next few days, I believe. Don't quote me. But I saw the trailer and the trailer looks so good, you guys. like It looks so good. And again, after all this like Epstein drama came out, it made me love...
00:25:39
Speaker
Michael Jackson even more. And it made me appreciate and honestly made me kind of sad too, because, you know, the, the whole Epstein situation was like, Michael was actually trying to save children. that's why it was called Neverland. And like, you know, he was trying to protect these kids from being a part of this Epstein situation. and and the fact that he's not here to like, I don't know, like, i don't know. It's just everything i came out. And so then I saw the trailer. So Michael Jackson's, if you didn't know,
00:26:08
Speaker
There's a movie coming out. It's a documentary, kind of how they've done for Prince, how they did for Freddie Mercury. Yeah. But it's the Michael Jackson version. It looks so good, you guys. It will give you chills. Go watch the trailer. I'm pretty sure it comes out this week. Don't quote me. But like, wow, I'm adding that to agenda.
00:26:30
Speaker
It looks so good. And it's a family member that is portraying him. And I was watching... him on after what show was it the today show no maybe oh it was with jimmy fallon he held up he was like here's you recording thriller for the movie and she held to a picture like it's a close of him like everybody knows the the thriller outfit the thriller look everything and he was like here's michael whatever 19 whatever recording it and i kid you got not you guys like you would never know the difference and he was saying
00:27:02
Speaker
the actor was saying he was like, they recorded the they're recorded in the same exact location. And he just said it was the most incredible feeling knowing that like, it wasn't a different, like they didn't go somewhere. like They recorded in the same exact place that Michael recorded his thriller video. And I'm like, that is just so, so cool. So I am really excited to see that because And yeah, I think that, you know, everyone had some misconceptions and who knows what's true and what's false, right? Like, we don't know. But just with some things that are coming out, it's like, wait a second, I think, I think he may have really been mis misjudged, which is really, really, really sad to see. But no, I'm very, I'm very excited about that.
00:27:43
Speaker
I know it makes me sad because again, everything's speculation, right? Like, so there's so many things that people, especially with social media that speculate, but like, I want to believe in the good. So like, and I love his music and I just, I don't know, like, um,
00:27:58
Speaker
Yeah, if it is true, it just makes me sad that he doesn't have the voice to be like, told y'all. Yeah, I'm a freak. I'm a weirdo. Like you guys painted me yet this ugly as this ugly, ugly person. And my soul was pure. Like that makes me like really like depressed to
Summer House Drama and Reality TV
00:28:13
Speaker
think about. But anyways, go watch it. I'm pretty sure it's out this week. Yeah.
00:28:19
Speaker
On a lighter note, I'm pretty sure it's out this week. Oh, yeah, I could go down like the darkest of rabbit holes and like crawl out to like the other side of the world with how like dark I get in these rabbit holes. um But speaking of television and things like that, there has been a lot of drama going on with the cast of Summer House. And I will say i have never watched it. But after this, I was like, this is one of the things where I was like, hey, I'm just going to like...
00:28:45
Speaker
be on my computer doing stuff and turn on the background like I'm gonna read and have it on the background or whatever and now I'm seeing like after all this came out now I'm seeing like the pre everything with the knowledge that I have now that they're together and I'm like oh this is this is messy like this is this is messy it's girl code and like you guys we all knew Amanda and Kyle needed that divorce like that was just like why even get married like come on like we all see it it's literally videoed and televised like at that point you can't tell me you can't look I make oh that's just what the the edits and the camera girl like it's it's toxic like what's wrong with you it's so funny because i when i was watching it again i don't know anyone i've never watched it and i saw them together and like somebody like merit i saw them like the wedding is soon it was something about like marriage and i was like wait is this the right am i is this her and i had to go ahead like literally pause it and go and look and i was like oh wait i'm
00:29:48
Speaker
I didn't even realize that that was like a whole nother level to all of this, that she was previously married to somebody else. It was. Yeah. Yeah. yeah And it's just like, at the end of the day too, it's like girl code girl.
00:30:01
Speaker
Like it's one thing to do it. Right. But it's one thing to not talk to your friend about it before it gets released on media. And that's how she finds out.
00:30:12
Speaker
Yeah. You know, like that's icky that, And like everyone was like, team Amanda, like divorce Kyle. Yay. they're get divorce And then this happened and it's like, girl, bye. Like ain't nobody want to be a part of that because now everyone is second guessing everything and every episode we are dissecting those summer house episodes. Okay. Like there is no, no hiding behind the walls now that we know what we know. So I don't know. It just breaks my heart for Sierra because i love Sierra. She's great. She's a girl's girl. And, um, honorable mention because Paige DeSorbo, who is a previous summer house, she is noted to have a cameo on devil
Favorite Podcasts and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
00:30:55
Speaker
wars product. I'm super, super excited to see her in that. Like, like go girl. What what do they do now? They like pinch their toes as a little clap. It's like this. Yes. This thing here. um
00:31:06
Speaker
yeah i love that. And i have been on and off listen to Giggly Squad because I'm not big on podcasts as a podcaster. I'm not really big on podcasts, but like the one i do listen to, I do do the the toast every now and then because you're diehard. But I think that Paige and Hannah are doing some really, really cool things. think they're so funny. So good for her for kind of taking this platform that she's now on and going and like doing shit like she's doing stuff with Kourtney Kardashian and like they're really doing some really cool things so think it's kind of a segue but good for them
00:31:44
Speaker
besides our podcast, yeah there's two other podcasts everyone should be listening to. And that is the toast and giggly squad. Like those are my tried and true will never fail me. Incredible. 10 out of 10.
00:31:55
Speaker
Yeah. That's just, you know, we obviously can't have pop culture without having some Bravo in it. And we also can't have pop culture without, Also mentioning a show that we all know and love and we all watch and we dissect. This is another show we all dissect, which is the secret lives of Mormon wives and all the drama that has come out with Taylor, Frankie, Paul with stop filming with Jesse and her divorce. And it's just like,
00:32:22
Speaker
there's a lot you guys there's a lot happening and you know the the crazy part about it is if they weren't on this show that's probably just another day in life for them but because they're just so overexposed I honestly feel bad for them like I think it shot I think it shot them to fame too quickly and I know we touched on this a couple of episodes not in a pop culture episode but I went like on a tangent I think on i think it was something with Jessie or maybe was with Taylor, Frankie Paul, I can't remember. But i think they just got, there was fame happened too quickly
00:32:57
Speaker
And rightfully so, rightly, we were all like eating up this series and wanting more, more, more. And they were just like slamming back to back to back recording, right? We were getting like season after season. And i that i I don't know. I don't, i I'm not a part of that world, but I feel like that was maybe just hard to
Social Media Rumors and Misunderstandings
00:33:16
Speaker
cope with. And for Taylor specifically, I feel like she just already had some issues.
00:33:21
Speaker
And so then being in the limelight, and all of this stuff like pile on top of that i think it just like led her mentally to a dark place it seems like on social media that she is trying to heal and truthfully trying to heal and i hope that she is um for the sake of herself and her three kids but yeah it's been like while on social media i saw something today where i guess caitlin bristow now has beef with Jesse? No.
00:33:53
Speaker
Debunked. Was that a joke? Okay. Okay. I was like, was this a friendly time or like a- I watched the video. Okay. Tell us. I watched the video. She posted a video to clarify. So I guess she had posted some picture of herself that got deleted and And it just said, it was a picture of her like from the weekend with her family and the caption read something.
00:34:15
Speaker
i love something about like being happy. Like I love being in a state of happiness or it's it's funny to find happiness. Something about being happy. And Jessie commented, same girl or something like that.
00:34:26
Speaker
And the post got taken down. So she saw that Jessie commented and then domoir something about like, because it got it got deleted,
00:34:37
Speaker
She posted it again and she tagged Jessie, but she tagged Jessie in the sense of, um hey, I saw your comment because a troll had commented on that original post being like, people that are happy don't have to post that they're happy.
00:34:52
Speaker
oh And so she was actually just she was actually responding to the troll, not Jessie. But at that point, you know, Dumas. Dumas ran with it. Like, there's beef. So she actually posted and was like, no, i there's literally – that was the joke of it, right? It was like, it's funny how people just take something and, like, run with it because – Well, – I was so confused when I saw that. I was like, wait, how are they – mean, sure, like, I feel like at some point, fame, you start to kind of, like, cross ways or whatever. But I was I've never seen anything about the two of them. So when I saw that, I was like, what in the hell is this now that we –
00:35:30
Speaker
I thought the same thing. I was so confused. like, come on, like Jesse girl, Jesse girl. Thank thank goodness for Caitlin being the person she is. And she literally will just call it as as it is. And she did. And she was like, there's like, you guys really ran with something that is like not even accurate. Like me and Jesse are fine. I just wanted to acknowledge that I did see her comment, but like you, what?
Alex Cooper vs. Alex Earl Drama
00:35:53
Speaker
Like, it's just, yeah.
00:35:55
Speaker
So go watch the video. I probably butchered the story behind it, but essentially not just me. No beef. However, the biggest beef of all, which will end pop culture with this discussion because this is the one we're going to run with, um is the ultimate beef that we have all been waiting for a resolution for but never got the closure for it. And and we were waiting to see if there was going be a resolution before we did a pop culture episode. We're like, let's hold on to it. like Let's just wait and see if we can chat about this.
00:36:27
Speaker
But there's been no resolution yet. Nope. And that's the Alex and now. Alex versus Alex. Alex with an I versus Alex with an E. Just.
00:36:38
Speaker
Okay, before we hit even before we even get into anything, i need a team. What team are you on? this could We could end this episode right now, just depending on how you answer. Alex with an Alex with an E. Okay, so I'll be honest. At the beginning, i was Alex Cooper because i was like, okay, she has Alex or has to respond to what she posted.
00:36:58
Speaker
you can't if you're hide youre If you have nothing to hide, you have to respond what you're posting. She's literally being like, what's the beef? Tell the world there's no NDA. And I did not like the silence. Like Alex Earl commented was like on it.
00:37:11
Speaker
She posted a video about her finding out Conchilla and then radio silence. So it's like, this is weird, right? However, today there's more news. today there's more news on this situation about Alex Cooper's husband being verbally abusive to staff.
00:37:32
Speaker
I think it's verbally abusive is what they use, I can't remember. Or some sort of like harassing or just mean and you know, because I guess they have a show with unwell network coming out with some sort of like dating type show. And people are coming out saying that, yes, he is the problem.
00:37:48
Speaker
he is very mean. he is very threatening, threatens to like ruin careers and things like that. So like, That's shifting me back to like Alex Earl side, you know? But again, silence speaks volumes. So I need, honestly, just get her on Call Her Daddy. Let's squash the beef. Like we're all going to be sat and listen. Like have the conversation.
00:38:10
Speaker
Tough conversations are tough for a reason. Have the conversation and record it so we can all listen. Yeah. I don't know if I would want to see it on Call our daddy little up call Her Daddy only because like I don't want Alex Cooper to like get that, to be very honest with you. i have never listened to her. I've never watched her show until the Sarah J. Maas episode came out that she did like last month, I think, or whenever that was.
00:38:37
Speaker
So, but I've always been an Alex Earl fan. That doesn't mean I'm not an Alex Cooper fan. I've just always been a very big Alex Earl fan. Every interaction that I have seen from people of her,
00:38:47
Speaker
has always been like, she's a girl. Everything I've ever seen people write or say about her has always been like, she's girl's girl. And so i was like, why like, why is this beef going on? There's obviously to some conspiracies around it, but I saw the same thing about Alex Cooper's husband today. And I'm like, m maybe it was like a multitude of things. Yeah. Maybe it was him and she, Alex Cooper didn't defend the husband or Yeah, I guess didn't defend the husband. And again, like I just said, silence speaks volumes. if If you know that is your partner in life and they're treating people that way and you being silent means that you are borderline supporting that behavior. um
00:39:28
Speaker
So that's that threw me off. So that's I'm like I was on. But I also still like why is she letting it linger? Like I'm on the fence about that one only because.
00:39:40
Speaker
It's almost like a card they're playing, right? Like Alex Cooper's like, come on, like you're being passive aggressive. Like let's but they've both been passive aggressive for a very long time. Let's note that it has not been just one or the other. They've both been very passive aggressive for a long time. Alex Cooper is finally just wanting to call her out.
00:39:57
Speaker
my thing with the silence, I'm the same page. I'm like, okay, you gotta, like, you gotta, if you got something, like you gotta say it, but it's also like, I'm gonna it on my own time. Like she's just released her skincare line. She now has her, like her, um, Oh my gosh, what's her hot mess that she records and puts out? So that's like, she's what, rushing to tell her side of the story because Alex Cooper was like, tag, you're it.
00:40:23
Speaker
So that's, I'm really middle grounds on that part, you know, because I want to know. And I'm like, you gotta, you gotta kind of tell people like your side of the story right now. Cause apparently like nothing went wrong. You didn't sign But again, then I'm like, now you're like bowing, you're bowing to her being like, okay, tell us what's up. Now you're bowing to her and like coming out with it So i don' i'm on i'm on the fence about that one. I don't know how to feel it. I'm going to debunk why you should be on the fence because if if that was the case, don't comment saying on it.
00:40:52
Speaker
and Yeah. Don't comment that you're saying on it because now, like, yeah you are addressing that you are going to address it. And now what? Nothing. yeah that is only, that's my only comment to that. Like I'm not on the fence on it because if that was the case, ignore it, ignore the video, post a video of your reaction. Sure. From Coachella.
00:41:11
Speaker
Sure. But don't passive aggressively comment back being like, I'm on it. On it. And then not post anything. Yeah. Not posting thing. I agree with you there. Back to silence speaks volumes. And to be fair, it is awful timing for this to happen to Alex Earl.
00:41:28
Speaker
Everything, her document, her family, not documentary, but her family show being filmed. And maybe that's what they're waiting for. Maybe they're they're waiting for the family show to come out, but that's that's in production. Like that's gonna, when is that getting released? Like you're commenting, you're on That's showing your side of accountability that you're going to share what happened. So I'm like also the comments of, you know, people are going after Alex Earl being like, Cooper one, you said nothing. Like we're over it. Yeah. We're, we're done waiting or whatever. Yeah, exactly. So it's like, I'm not on either side at this point. Honestly, this is going to turn into like the Blake lively thing situation. Like we're on one side one day, we're on another side one day. Now we're like washing it a case close. We're all going to move forward. So yeah. If it, if it does tie into her family show she's like,
00:42:18
Speaker
Literally just a young Kris Jenner, right? Because that is, it's so when I read the longest article one time, you guys, this was bunch of free time. I read the longest article about like the marketing and mind behind how they tease each season when these things drop and write. Like that's that's a big thing now, but this was like,
00:42:39
Speaker
This was a long time ago when I read this article and it was just so interesting to read how we get these little like nuggets and then we get like a teaser and then we get the first episode you get. And then the episode that it ends with the season finale is this huge cliffhanger.
Dave Portnoy's Tea by the Sea and Wine Enjoyment
00:42:53
Speaker
Like, you know, if she is doing something like that where she's going tie it into her family show, which I don't think that she would, but or to get our answer, like, I don't think we'll have to wait that long, but I'm like, that's, that would be like some Kris Jenner level stuff right there. Like, you know, yeah. so But also, like, I'm waiting until the fall time to, i like, to relive this whole situation. That's why I'm comparing it to, like, Blake Lively and what's his name? Justin Bardone. What's his name? Baldoni. Yes. Because it's lingering so long. Like,
00:43:23
Speaker
can we all your closure at this point you've involved all of us like yeah can we just get closure on this please like tell us what happened you know what even if you don't want tell us what happened just be like we're done it's good we're good I'm even if you're not good just be like I'm done being passive aggressive towards it because that's another thing right being passive aggressive towards each other sharing resharing TikToks commenting on certain things liking certain things you have something to say Well, yeah, but then, and then we have like Brie, right? Brianna Chicken Fry is now in it. Dave Portnoy is in it with now T by the Sea. You will not find me seated, sat, quicker,
00:44:02
Speaker
Then when I pop up my TikTok or my Instagram and I say, I see Dave Portner saying, all right, we got another episode of Tea by the Sea. Don't bug me. However long that episode is, it could be a 20 minute episode. You're going wait. And when say episode, it's a video. It's just a video on TikTok. But you're going to wait. You are not going to disturb me while I'm watching...
00:44:23
Speaker
my show, i saw him, he sent a screenshot, he um Jake Shane, he was like, hey, put down the dumbbells and the protein shakes and tell us the tea. And then someone commented on that and they were like, Dave, get to the sea, there's tea. And it was just like, I love that this is now like a community community.
00:44:43
Speaker
event and every it was
00:44:49
Speaker
he's a mess he is a mess but he's so funny yeah tea by the sea i am sat for yeah so i will miss that when um it's kind of like back and forth whenever this does get resolved but i tell you what i'll just keep listen mine won't be tea by the sea it would be this lovely Lovely wine by the sea. A little crisp i know chris wine by the sea. I'm saving that final sip right now. you see? i have probably two sips left and I'm like, please, I gotta hold on to this. i know.
00:45:19
Speaker
gotta hold on to it. I mean... The refills are endless, right? Because it's in fridge. So yeah I can only imagine this at it at its full potential chill, if you will. um But we will we will provide, just as we did with the Blake Lively case, we will provide further updates as Alex vs. Alex develops. Yeah.
00:45:39
Speaker
ah It's just, again, i can't pick a side because I think at this end, honestly, they're both in the wrong. Just like be gone. Let's be adults. But then I also forget like they're not even in there. Well, how old is Alex Cooper?
00:45:53
Speaker
Alex Cooper. I think Alex Cooper is older. Alex Earl is she's like, I think like eight or 10 years. 27. She just Alex Cooper is 31. Mm hmm.
00:46:05
Speaker
okay Alex Earl is 25. twenty five So we're dealing with youngins here. Okay. yeah I can say that as the mature one of this group, mature in age, if you will, definitely not in brain or personality. I mean, me and Alex Hooper only, um, four years apart. It sounds like, but you guys are five years apart. Like, in long you know,
00:46:29
Speaker
So, I mean, in Alex was 25. so maybe I get, i I don't know. I just, I can't pick a side because at this point, like my energy level that I'm spending on this, just like, can we let them, can we listen, can we get Mel involved?
Podcast Reflections and Conclusion
00:46:45
Speaker
You know what? That's, this is the, this is the key.
00:46:48
Speaker
That's it. That's it. Mel and Jay Shetty in a combo podcast with Alex and Alex. They will fix it. Could you imagine? Could you imagine the views? I can't. I can't. I would be...
00:47:04
Speaker
I would be in it to win it. The world would heal and we would heal. Yeah. When people say, oh, what I want world peace. There is your world peace. Forget about the war. Forget all this stuff going on. i say that very lightly, This is world peace. This is truly world peace for us. Forget what's happening around the world. We have solved Cooper versus Earl. Okay.
00:47:28
Speaker
Forget about it. So Mel and Jay, if you guys are listening, I know I said my top two podcasts were Giggly Squad and the Toes, but you guys are both also way up there. Like if I had to pick top five, I mean, that's literally everybody. Like so culture like social podcast is what you meant.
00:47:47
Speaker
Yes. yeah I know my inspo podcast, the ones I need to, to ground me in life. um and I think you it. I think you need, I think this is a great business opportunity. yeah, Mel and Jay like, okay, not getting involved. You did rank us in the top two. We'll send you a bottle. This is very affordable. So we can afford to send you a bottle of this lovely wine. I fear this may be one of my highest rated wines of the season. Now I don't know what my highest corking is.
00:48:21
Speaker
I don't know either, but one's pretty there. This, I could be getting a tattoo. I could be going down to Argentina. You just finished your wine. It's just so good. I had that final set. It's so good. already solidified my, my ranking up here. So incredible. my God. Okay. Oh, I'm nervous.
00:48:40
Speaker
I mean, are you ready to cork the Zucardi Torrentes from Argentina? but I think I'm about to, yeah, I think I might be ready. Okay. Again, I also don't know what my highest corking is, but this, this, okay you will catch me with this again.
00:48:58
Speaker
um So I'm giving it for that and because I would gift it to Mel and Jay Shetty alone. Oh my God. Okay. What about our Giggly Squad and toasters? Oh, they, of course they get everything they want. So I would send them everything. Even the nasty wines, if they wanted to try it, I would spend the money just for them.
00:49:16
Speaker
If they asked me, they wanted Martha and they want to try it to spit it out and think I'd buy it for them. Like, please. Hey, Tana. Claude. Yeah. Jackson turd. Let me know. I'll send it right away.
00:49:27
Speaker
um But I'm going to cork this a 9.3. Oh, we've got a high. It's so good. hi Because if this was a one.
00:49:40
Speaker
tell us she's good oh they said she could was what could she do oh no i mean she could she could honestly probably also cure cooper versus earl on her own i'm not gonna lie but no she's good and she's she was good unchilled that is what is truly throwing me off oh my god if this was a weekend i would be vibing on this i would be coming out of our little recording closet and being like let's we go off around two oh and then we're going for round three i mean i am one i was saying i canceled my workout in the morning i know mentioned canceled my workout before we started recording i so i mean business i mean business she's gonna go for round three
00:50:23
Speaker
This is getting a 9.1 from me. i i always get so scared tiptoeing over a 9 because 9 is like yeah serious, serious business. You guys, this wine is fantastic.
00:50:36
Speaker
We found it at ABC. You can also find it at Total Wine, I believe. So it's relatively widely available. And if you go on their website, again, it's, let me pull it up.
00:50:49
Speaker
We are drinking the Zuccardi Torrentes. Zuccardi Torrentes. If you go to the Zuccardi family website, you guys, it looks like just a just so incredibly beautiful. And the setting is wonderful. And I mean, I'd be, I'd be showing off as a little grape too, if I got to grow there. Like it's just so beautiful. You know, i'd be showing myself off. So i am very happy with our pick tonight.
00:51:19
Speaker
Same, same. We were overdue. So well done. We were, we've had some, we've had some ups and downs this season, but man, this is this is definitely a, a peak for us and a great one to bring into. this fun little pop culture episode that we have. But as for now, that's a wrap. That's our show.
00:51:43
Speaker
That is all pop culture tea we have for today. Thank you so much for listening. Don't forget to rate and review us on whatever platform you're listening on. As always, tell all your friends and keep on whining.
00:51:54
Speaker
Cheers.
