Introduction to Wine Mama Podcast
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to Wine Mama, a podcast where two bestie moms whine while they whine. I'm Annie. And I'm Jemina. Let's
Spring Break Timing and Plans
00:00:07
Speaker
whine. And happy spring break to all who celebrate spring break this week, which is me and you, and probably like half of Florida, but I know a lot of counties are not till like, sometimes it's last week, sometimes it's the next week. I don't know how they determine spring break, but happy spring break it regardless, because you know what?
Impact of Daylight Saving Time
00:00:26
Speaker
The time has changed. We're still talking about the time. And the sun stays out later. And summer is upon us. Summer is upon us. It's here, especially for us in Florida. And see, I told you guys last week, I told you guys that we were to still talk about daylight. I did.
00:00:43
Speaker
You know what? You didn't even and realize it. But I told you, I'm like, how long do people usually talk a long time? We talk about it for a long time. So we're very dis distressed by it because it takes I'm having a very hard time still. Like I'm still trying to adjust. I don't know why. Like the children are fine. It's me. It's me who's having a hard time losing this hour of sleep. So. Yeah.
00:01:06
Speaker
And isn't it so funny? People say like when you travel like different time zones or whatever, like how many time zones that are like the difference, that's how many days it takes you to get back into your routine. This is like kind of the same thing, right? Like we just lost an hour.
00:01:21
Speaker
yeah We, we should be good. We really should be, but I'm the same freaking way. I'm like, when I have to wake up in the morning, I'm like, there's no way. Like there's no way it's time to get up. And especially on the mornings when I wake up early to work out and I know you do the same. I'm like, no, no, that's, that's not the time.
00:01:39
Speaker
no And it's not even that it's, it's dark outside. I like to leave like my windows kind of cracked because I didn't like to wake up to the natural sunlight beaming in my face. Ben wouldn't know. Okay. He's wearing his blackout curtains on his eyeballs. So he doesn't, he wouldn't even know the sun was rising. Okay. But me, let me feel it on my skin. Okay.
00:01:59
Speaker
and Now I'm so lost. I'm so fucking... I'm, like, confused. I'm literally... I'm like, is it day? Is it midnight? I don't know. Did I wake up? Like...
Spring Break Plans for Working Parents
00:02:06
Speaker
It's giving it's giving Twilight Zone. It's giving Twilight Zone. so other than the daylight savings cocoonists on both of our ends, how what's what's going on over there? What's spring break like? How... What's happening? What's spring break like? So...
00:02:23
Speaker
Unfortunately for my kids, we both have to work, so we don't really have like fun spring break plans. The only thing we have planned is um we went to Tallahassee for a couple of days because that's a free stay for us over there. And, you know, the kids love it seeing their cousin and playing. And honestly, they want to go to Tallahassee. I'll be honest with you. They want to go to Tallahassee for Books A Million.
00:02:47
Speaker
Stop it. They freaking love Books A Million there. They love Books A Million there. Who doesn't, though? It's so good. Like they're obsessed. Like they've already asked like a thousand times, when can we go back so we can go to books a million and play with Remy? And I'm like, Oh my gosh. And, but other than that, then my parents are in the process of moving back to Tallahassee by the summer. So Beckett really wants to have like sleepovers at their house as much as possible. So they will be having, um And he wants a double sleepover, right? Just one night is not enough. So they'll be staying there for like two nights. So yeah other than that, I hope they have fun, I guess. some
00:03:26
Speaker
I know. I didn't really, I didn't really plan anything. So yeah. What about over there? what's the vibe? What's the spring break vibe over there? Oz is like at a very much spring breaky age if she celebrates, you know?
00:03:43
Speaker
One would think. But right now we're recording this a little bit before spring break. um But as of right now, she has no plans. So she's trying to make last minute plans. And I'm like, listen, girly, listen.
00:03:57
Speaker
It's next week. I don't know if that's going to happen for you. But I mean, we were like spring breakers every year, right? like Every year. Yeah. so she has nothing planned. Again, trying to get something done.
00:04:10
Speaker
We aren't doing anything. Listen, if you can... do your holiday planning or your Thanksgiving planning. If you travel for Thanksgiving, your holiday planning for like Christmas, New Year's, whatever also has spring break planned. Also have your summer like vacations plan. Like how one and two, like for real, how, because i can't, like I can't.
00:04:35
Speaker
And I also just like, I like my time, is my is my like family like summer vacation that we do. And I also have a big event at work that I do that right like backs right up to spring break. So it's like, I just can't like take that time off. um I mean, I could, but it would just be um a mess. It'd be a nightmare.
00:04:55
Speaker
So we're not really doing anything either. i mean, you guys go into Tallahassee, like that's like getting them out of their like little bubble, right? Like that's getting you out of home. And so we're trying to coordinate with my in-laws to see if they can do a date with them. I want to take them to the zoo one day, just to like have somewhat of a spring break. But like, we're in the same boat as where I'm like, I, we don't have anything planned guys. So like, what do you, what do you want to do And like, we have work. So yeah.
Tasting and Reviewing Don Miguel Gascon Malbec
00:05:22
Speaker
So that summer vacation it is. Woo. Life of life of the working parent. You know, I mean, there's lots of us listening who can feel that. Let's be honest. Like, it's just it's how the cookie crumbles. So like you said, like for those that do plan it, like personally, me, I'm chronically nosy. We discussed this last week. like Yeah.
00:05:43
Speaker
yeah one, how, how did you plan it? And two, like, financially, that's a lot of deposits, like, ah around, you're planning this around Christmas? Like, you have to, you have to be to, like, book something if you're going to, like, a hot destination or, like, airfare, like, you're booking in advance. so I'm like, how yeah are people doing this? But,
00:06:03
Speaker
It is spring break. Cheers to all who are on their spring break now or maybe a week from now or maybe a month from now because April goes like well or spring break goes well into April. So cheers to everyone celebrating spring break. On that note, are we ready to wine with our wine of the week?
00:06:19
Speaker
I'm so ready. Yes. Let's do it. This week we are drinking the Don Miguel Gascon Malbec. So she is a dark,
00:06:29
Speaker
dark like She shiley he blends with your shirt. Into my shirt. So I have a black shirt on for people are people who are, you know, listening. um I mean, everybody listens. and You only see clips on social media. you know what I'm saying? But for literally everyone, um i have a black shirt on and this wine literally blends in with me. So yeah it's a blend. It's a like it's a dark hole. Like it's almost like a dark.
00:06:59
Speaker
A little abyss. It's a little abyss in the wine glass. I keep smelling it and just to like feel something, I guess. just to feel Just to feel a little something. So this company has been growing Malbec and transforming it into wine since 1884 when their founder, don Miguel
00:07:25
Speaker
entrepreneurial spirit. Ooh, which mean you're lucky you didn't get that one. The panic as I'm reading along, you guys, this is a big word. i know. I thought I had it until I got to the end. They have a spirit of an entrepreneur.
00:07:37
Speaker
Yeah. He was the entrepreneur he was an entrepreneur with with the spirit. with this he He bought his first vineyards and built the winery in Mendoza, Argentina. And we've spoken about Mendoza before. It's a very popular wine region in Argentina for specifically malbec Yes. um So in the 1940s, the winery became the first in Argentina to bottle a pure varietal Malbec wine, turning the world's attention to Mendoza. Kind of like Annie mentioned, we've kind of dabbled in this area of Mendoza in the past. Today, they carry on the heritage of Don Miguel Gascon and his legendary Malbec wines at the very site where his first winery opened its doors.
00:08:24
Speaker
Amazing. So carrying on our guy, Dawn's legacy with these lovely, hopefully lovely Malbec wines. Is Malbec supposed to be this dark? I don't recall. That's why I had Malbec before, but I don't remember it being like matching your black shirt. dark No, they are a full-bodied, like, dark abyss wine. So, tasting, this wine opens with intense aromas. Oh, sorry, this isn't tasting. This would be smelling. So, sorry. This wine opens with intense aromas of blackberry, plum, and a hint of mocha. Ooh, Dark fruit flavors intertwine with notes of spice, licorice, and chocolate to create a magnificent full-bodied Malbec.
00:09:05
Speaker
Round tannins and a plush mouthfeel lead the way to a long, velvety finish. Lots of lush, lush things here. The price is anywhere between $13 and $18, so extremely, extremely affordable Agreed. i but I think you but you you labeled it lush flavors. I almost want to label it like heavy.
00:09:31
Speaker
like i like man Like, I don't know, like like so like just heavy weighted, like We have described, you, we did this one time. We're like, we described a wine. We're like, what would, I think it was a Malbec. We were like, what would one look like? What would like a, like, that's what it, feel do you remember that? i it was like, it was like seasons ago. We were describing like what a Malbec wine would, would look like. And that's exactly what you're feeling again. It's feeling like rough and tough, like big, burly, big, burly guy. a man.
00:10:06
Speaker
I'm a man. I'm a scruffy man. I'm going to grab my axe and go chop some wood like so paul you're giving like what paul bunyan paul revierer not paul revierer that was the union wow we throw off the wine completely no i'm giving don miguel cascon okay like that's what i'm getting two completely different people completely different people I'm dying. But I mean, it doesn't smell. I mean, honestly, I just, I know we've had Malbecs, but I just did not remember it being this dark. Just seeing it like against your shirt is what's throwing me off because and typically I can see the wine through the wine glass. Yeah. Mine's just like a dark hole of darkness in my cup here. But are we ready to have a taste of this dark, tall, handsome,
Bizarre Dolphin Abduction Story
00:10:54
Speaker
Wine. Velvety. Tall, dark, and handsome wine. Sign me up. Cheers. Cheers.
00:11:09
Speaker
That one hurt. That hurt. I'm going to i'm gonna have to take a minute. Okay.
00:11:18
Speaker
have to take a beat there before i sample this again i almost feel like i need a palate cleanser and to give it a true chance um i just um i just don't have anything to say at this time so i think we should just get into what we're going to chat about it and hope for the best yeah i feel like i could breathe fire and that's why i needed a moment like like is um indigestion or am i I'm sorry. Did you forget in here in these notes also next to the spice and licorice? Did you also forget the fucking kerosene? Like Jesus Christ.
00:11:54
Speaker
Hello. Dawn was probably like, delete that. Like delete that from the description. That's not's not going to sell. No, I'm not appealing to the ladies. i do not.
00:12:08
Speaker
Yeah, like it it it's it's and do you feel like when you're when you swallow it, like, do you feel it like it like goes off like it I feel like I can pinpoint my entire like esophage. It's like liquor, like when you taste like like take a straight shot of liquor and you can feel exactly where it's touching down your body.
00:12:27
Speaker
Right. Oh, she's not well. No, no. Like I said, I have nothing nice to say at this time. I would like to move past this. I would like to go ahead and start with the fun stuff we're going to talk about because I'm on fire. Like I feel like, I'm telling you, feel like if I grabbed a pen right now and I could draw my entire esophageal like GI tract because that's how much that's how I feel it when I this mean if we had like two more glasses of this which would be like unfortunate but if we had two more glasses of this and we were in person together i would actually make you do that and be like you guys she really did it she really did it I can show you exactly the pathway that this just went down to my sewing like
00:13:13
Speaker
It's alarming. It's alarming. But I feel you and i know exactly what you mean because I am feeling the same. But we love a pop culture episode. We sure do There is some crazy things going on. I have to start with this story that I you haven't heard of it.
00:13:32
Speaker
And I like literally wrote down one word and I was you have to be crazy. OK, I wrote down dolphin. So I saw today, once this is released, it'll be last week, but I saw this story about this man in Florida that was found on the beach. it was the early morning found on the beach.
00:13:52
Speaker
And he said that he was abducted by dolphins and And they had him, they brought him like offshore to help them, to help him build an underwater city and help like construct and like map out this underwater city.
00:14:09
Speaker
There were... No drugs, no alcohol in his system. He said that he, um, the like main dolphin or whatever was his name was Gerald and he helped him breathe under what this is everywhere.
00:14:23
Speaker
And he helped him breathe underwater. The crazy part is this guy has like a degree from MIT, a degree in engineering, and they took him back to the hospital just because of like dehydration and things like that. And they found, they did like tests and they found like particles and things in his like lungs of like stuff that's like deep water, like deep water, like particles and like things from in the water. Like it's not something you're finding like close to shore. So it's like, that's why it's everywhere is because it's like, what the hell is happening? And the running joke is like with everything going on, I believe him.
00:15:04
Speaker
I believe him. Believe him. Isn't that crazy? i abducted by dolphins. They found him. They found him drawing. found him? First of all, who found him? The police found him like early, early, like 4 or 5 a.m. on the beach um drawing like sketches of like the buildings like in the sand.
00:15:28
Speaker
Yes. It's so crazy. You have to look up this story. It's the craziest thing. It's so crazy. This. Okay. Okay. It's very Florida, and we can say that because we live here. We can say that. Florida man, this is the ultimate Florida man story. I mean, I'll give it that. Yes. Two, this has not hit my algorithm. I'm 1,000% looking forward to it now because my phone is listening.
00:15:54
Speaker
Gerald, of all names, for the king dolphin. That's alarming that we would if we were in a war against the ocean animals that we're fighting a Gerald. But like the fact that his toxicology came back negative is the most alarming thing because this is the definition of crack cocaine, like meth and crack cocaine.
00:16:16
Speaker
Yep. Like took your brain on a journey. The only other thing I can think of is, um, was he wearing like scuba stuff? Like he was just in normal clothes. What was he I think just normal clothes. I do not know. There's like a picture of him, right? Like a mug shot, I guess the police station. And he was a little tan. Like he's a little burnt on his face. Like he was like out roasting in the sun somewhere. Right. But it is the most like insane story. And the comments, you guys, the comments on these videos. I can only imagine.
00:16:49
Speaker
I was like, I was just in the comments for like five minutes at least going through it because everyone, it was just so funny. But yeah, that's the dolphin story. um Apparently he got abducted by them and helped them build, start to build whatever an underground city.
00:17:05
Speaker
So there you have it. I mean, that is just so insane to me, but that does remind me, I'm going to pivot because that does remind me of a quick story of did you see that they, I'm trying to see if I can find it quickly. Something about like a 1300 pound satellite is supposed to crash on earth within the next, um, like 24, like 24 to 48 hours or something. And the comments of that is also hilarious because they're like, can you imagine calling in into work? I can't come in.
00:17:36
Speaker
The 1300 pounds ally got my car. And then there was another comment that was like, can I give it its coordinates to my ex's house? Like how do I make this happen? Like, yeah. How can I direct it to a specific location?
00:17:47
Speaker
The comments are what are unhinged on the internet and I'm here for them every time.
Harry Styles' New Album
00:17:52
Speaker
And again, I cannot wait to run to the comments the moment that this hits my algorithm because this is,
00:17:58
Speaker
Insane, but I'm with you with as much as crazy things that are happening in this world. Like, sure, buddy, I'm i'm with you. Like, did you see Ariel? Like, did you can you confirm or deny mermaids?
00:18:11
Speaker
Oh, no, I'm getting it. and Now I'm getting mermaid videos. I'm like, okay, no take take a beat there. But the dolphin thing was hilarious. if i If one comes up, which it will, I will send it to you.
00:18:21
Speaker
Yes, please do. I'm ready for that. It hit my algorithm. I love things like that. Conspiracy theories. like i I dwell and deep dive into all of them. But um on happier news, yeah that we unfortunately...
00:18:39
Speaker
won't get to witness live at this time i'll say at this time because at this time we still do not have tickets but harry styles album came out so i'm pivoting to that yes that is very happy news because that just came out and it's a good one it's a good one i was i was vibing the day it came out just work it and listen to the new album it's we gotta see him we gotta see him live we're going to i'm gonna manifest that we're going to see him live um what I was going to say, though, is it's very much a great album to have in the background when working. It's very much chill pop. It's not like his previous like House of Harry, where it's more like, I don't know. i beat I mean, there are some upbeat songs, but this is something that if it was like
00:19:24
Speaker
on a lower volume, like you could just straight up listen to it all day as a background. Like I, I, I'm going to petition that a doctor's offices play. it I think this is a great pivot to whatever the hell they're playing in the offices.
00:19:39
Speaker
Literally whatever the hell they're playing. But remember your vision last time. You were like, okay, close your eyes and imagine. Yes. You've got the Savvy Bee. God knows we're not drinking this. You've got the Savvy Bee with the frozen jalapenos, the g the frozen mangoes, the Kindle outside, that light little background music of Harry Styles. And you've got your Kindle and you're just vibing out there. Vibing.
00:20:03
Speaker
Vibing. And, and I looked at the weather now that when this episode with this episode drops for us in Florida specifically, it is going to be like a crisp, like 60 something.
00:20:15
Speaker
So this is like that hits that hits. i I love that. I love that. Yes. No, this is something that for sure is just going, it's
Nostalgic Pop Culture Events
00:20:27
Speaker
chill pop. It's, that's the only way to describe it. Chill pop to listen to.
00:20:32
Speaker
And um yeah, I just, I mean, I just love Harry. So there's nothing, nothing I can say bad about him. That's, that's for certain, but pivot from chill pop to exciting pop is our queen, our hail all Hannah Montana has officially announced that there will be a 20th anniversary special on March 24th. And on top of that, you guys, we're back.
00:21:00
Speaker
The millennials are back. We're so back. We're so back. Not only is Hannah Montana to back, Laguna Beach is doing a special on Roku. I mean... Incredible. And...
00:21:11
Speaker
Not to take away from Hannah Montana, we will circle back to that. But another topic is also Britney Spears got DUI. We are so back. Like we are so back. but Is it Britney? Is it to what? 2008 Britney Spears? Like I feel like that's who that's who is e emerging. And i know we mentioned the.
00:21:29
Speaker
possibility of the Hannah Montana special at the beginning of the season but we like didn't know what it was right it was like there's something going on there's like maybe special like con like a concert like what's going on so it was finally announced and like the preview or like the um the trailer of it is just like so nostalgic for people who who did watch it and it's coming very you with me And it's coming very, very soon. So, I mean, we're back. And then Hilary Duff announcing her tour and coming out with the new music. Like, it's just, it's so, like, we are so back. Like, now these are positive things. And Britney Spears, like, isn't so positive. I hope she gets, like, help because apparently there was, like, drugs in her car that were laced with something or something's going on um which is very sad. But, yeah, we're, you know what? The early two thousand s
00:22:22
Speaker
step aside you guys we're back we're back backstreet boys is still out on on tour at the sphere like they just keep killing it so they keep adding more dates like it's just what a time what a time and not not to like sound insensitive but like during our millennial times there was also a war in iran i just want to point that out like yeah That's the unfortunate side of the, like, can we just keep the fun stuff of the millennial stuff yeah and then like not have that side of it? Like that's too much negativity. Like leave it in the past.
00:22:57
Speaker
Leave it in the past. We don't need it. We don't need we don't need it We don't. We really don't. Like nobody needs that out of stressor, honestly. Like we all just want to vibe to Hannah Montana, go see Hilary Duff. And then i would say free Britney, but you know, we freed her and she is not well. So I think we need to put Britney back in some sort of help, not what she was but like some sort of guided I'm not sure what the right terminology is here, but yeah.
Zendaya and Tom Holland's Secret Wedding
00:23:28
Speaker
Some advice from like a guided, good, pure professional, not the help that she has yeah been, been, um, been getting. So, you know, maybe we can connect her with our girl, Kim Kardashian for some legal stuff because, you know, Kim Kardashian is now dating. Raise your hand if you know who Lewis Hamilton is.
00:23:48
Speaker
Not I. Jamina did not know. She was like, who? I'm confused. Who is this? I was like, Formula One. one of like the like most well-known racers. She's like, no. Didn't know. I did not see this. I did not see this.
00:24:02
Speaker
we like i don't I don't hate it. i i think it's cute. But like I did not see this one coming. So I was a little shocked. And I'm i'm here for it. I'm here for it. Okay. But i will i will I will caveat with this. Did anybody ever...
00:24:19
Speaker
see Kylie and Timothee Chalamet Timothee Chalamet also in the news right now by the way for some incredibly disrespectful comment on something that he's made him famous yeah he he made some comments that he shouldn't have about like ballet and opera and like those art forms are like nobody cares anymore I'm like ah come on like why? like why, why do we think like, this is the right thing to say? Like, I'm not a PR guru by any means, but like, didn't we think that was the right thing to say? it's yeah It makes you like questions like, okay, do you think it was one of the things like, you know, like you've been kind of laying low, let's spruce things up. Can you say something controversial to really piss people off and be a subject matter at this time? And it's like,
00:25:13
Speaker
That wasn't it, bruh. Like, all right, I break it to you. But that's literally what kick started your career. So like now people are like posting videos of him doing ballet. And it's like, okay, like, so anyways, but yeah, no, that's another coupling that I don't think anybody saw really coming. So good on Kim. um Honestly, I just, I just, why can't any of these girlies?
00:25:37
Speaker
I mean, I guess Kylie has found Timotei and they've been together for quite some time, but like, why? i know. Well, that's how, that's how Nikki Glaser said it at the yeah Globes. um She was making, she was pretending to be Adam Sandler. Anyways. um Why can't any of these Kardashian girlies just like get it together? Like at least Chris has, what's his face? Like they've been. Corey Gamble.
00:26:01
Speaker
Corey Gamble. That's the longstanding relationship at this time. I know. And then we've got Courtney and Travis, which like that one's just kind of. Another weird coupling, but they've been, there were friends for years. So I guess yeah that's just like odd to me. But on another note of like love is in the air, we found out recently that Zendaya, Zendaya and Tom Holland actually secretly got married and that was leaked. I think it was by her makeup or hairstylist or maybe her, um,
00:26:31
Speaker
What am I trying to say? the the The person that dresses you. What am I trying to say? Like wardrobe person. Silas. Silas. Thank you. Oh my God. um Someone, they were like, oh, like y'all missed the wedding. Like it's already happened. And so everybody like, oh my God, oh my God, my God. Which I think is amazing that.
00:26:47
Speaker
like it didn't get leaked. It wasn't like rumors, this rumors that Demois did not get it. TMZ. Like it was truly like under the radar. Yeah. Which I think is amazing.
00:26:57
Speaker
Good for them. I'm literally obsessed with them. if anything, like protect them at all costs, because I am so obsessed with that relationship. but I've said that before on this podcast. It's just like love will be dead when they're no longer together because they are just so pure. They're so under the limelight. Like they just want to keep that life private. And I totally respect that, especially when you're like constantly on a pedestal being watched. Um, but the way that we confirmed quote unquote, is that Zendaya's mom liked a post that said that.
00:27:35
Speaker
So everyone's like, okay, that's her mom confirming like it really did happen. So I'm so happy for them. you know Mazel Tov. I don't think they're Jewish, but whatever. I love saying Mazel Tov. Yeah. Instead of saying congrats, I love saying Mazel. I think it's so fun. Like such a fun way of saying congratulations. So Mazel.
00:27:52
Speaker
Mazel. And if you are Jewish, it it it hits even better. It hits even better. Like I'm just... Again, I'm so obsessed with them. I think
Upcoming Live-Action Disney Films
00:28:01
Speaker
they're so cute. I just like i will watch like interviews when like they did Spider-Man press together. i know.
00:28:09
Speaker
I mean. and i forget who I forget who it was that was like, don't like made a joke like in the very beginning when they first started doing it together and they' were like don't fall in love with Spider-Man or like don't fall in love on set. you like Because I guess like, but like was it Kirsten Dunst, Tobey Maguire and then like, I can't think of the other Emma Stone and what's his name? I see it. beauty garfield right and i think gar Andrew Garfield, Andrew Garfield. And there was like, I think somebody made a joke of like don't
00:28:40
Speaker
fall for Spider-Man and like here they are and now they're supposedly I think definitely married which is just like which is amazing and if something if you want to watch something that's gonna just like restore like your hope and joy in the relationship you guys need to go watch the lip sync battle when Tom Holland did um Umbrella by Rihanna and there's like and he's battling Zendaya's and it's just So, so good. So good. Okay. so
00:29:11
Speaker
Speaking of movies... It was just announced that Catherine Han will be playing Mother Gothel in the live action Rapunzel. So we already had found, we found out who was playing Rapunzel and who was playing Flynn Rider. And so now we just, it was just announced about Catherine Han and i i know her face. and and I would know it anywhere. i just did not know her name, which is terrible. So if you are like me and you don't know who that is, she was in Bad Moms. She was in Step Brothers. She was in WandaVision.
00:29:39
Speaker
She was in, I think, um what's the one with the, ron was it Ron Burgundy? the What's it called? Oh, Anchorman. Anchorman, I think.
00:29:51
Speaker
Or Talladega Night. Or Talladega Night. No, it was another i think she was Talladega Night. I don't think she was in the night. Okay, maybe Talladega Night. It was another Will, whatever, Will Ferrell movie. yeah um But yes, she's playing Mother Gothel. And I'm like, you could not have picked a better person.
00:30:06
Speaker
You could not have picked a better person. Incredible. Incredible. And I love that she the way she announced it practically. She was wearing one of those shirts where you put like a bunch of like of the same person's face on there. And she just yeah said Mother Gothel. Honestly, like great merch. I would buy one. a an example so So good. So good. She's like, look, look at check out my outfit of the day. And like backed up from the camera. And I was like, what a genius. It's so good.
00:30:29
Speaker
Like absolute genius. ah of Obsessed. And I honestly can't wait to watch that.
Whitney's Journey on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
00:30:37
Speaker
Avery is very much into live action movies of the princesses. She very much likes seeing like an actual human. We recently went to the movies and we saw the new movie Hopper, on the new Disney movie, very cute movie, highly recommend to go watch it with your kids if you are by yourself, mean by all means, go support.
00:30:55
Speaker
movie and cinema, but i'm it was very cute. And we saw a preview for the Moana live action. um So i'm just, I love that they're like making it into like human form.
00:31:08
Speaker
i don't know i know. know that gets a lot of mixed reviews. I know for example, like Beauty and the Beast with Emma um didn't get the best like review back. And there's some of them that people don't like, but I kind of like them. I mean, it puts a different perspective and I i don't know. think they're fun. I enjoy them.
00:31:26
Speaker
Yeah. I think they're so fun. But speaking of actresses and all that fun stuff, we're going to about Annie's favorite person next. Oh my God. you absolutely loves this person. i love her so much. um But the reason i'm bringing her up is because you guys, the way Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is the turnaround on new seasons is Bravo. Like they're giving us what the people wants. We want the seasons to be back to back like that. And the way that they already have a new season coming up, what next next week? I think it's like next.
00:32:01
Speaker
It's coming up like it's coming up very soon. The demand is high. The demand is high. And Hulu is like, we are going deliver. We're going to do that for you guys. And it is incredible. It's incredible.
00:32:11
Speaker
Literally, they're like we hear you we're going to give you what you want. And I'm here for it. And she's just having so much success. Personally, i will say, was I one of the ones anti Whitney season one? Absolutely. But season two changed her for me. And then watching her on Dancing with the Stars, I really liked her. And I just see, I mean, i clearly see she has tried has changed. Do I support everything she does and says? No, absolutely not. But she is like thriving on Chicago. So she got – She is. She has Roxy Hart playing Chicago. But the reason I'm bringing that up is because Mark Ballas, who I love from Dancing with the Stars – is going to be joining her for, like I think for like a couple of weeks. Yeah. I think like four weeks, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. So like, which I think it's really cool. I think, I will say, I think it's really cool that this kid, that's what came out of it for her. And then same for now them to be reunited in that way. I think that's like a really unique thing, but i agree. Like I was never her biggest fan. Then something she says, I'm like, do you have,
00:33:15
Speaker
do you have a filter or, and I think also sometimes there's like, there's times where she can be like that. And there's times where I feel like she says things like, says what people want to hear. so I'm like, can't figure it out with her. no, I think Demi, not Demi, Demi was like that season one, right? She was the the friend that was straight up with everybody, but we all loved her season one. And then season two came out and it's like, who who are you? Yeah. yeah i like She's canceled practically. Like with the things that she has done we won't rehash all of that, but with the things that she has done as far as
00:33:51
Speaker
involving Vanderpump Villa. Like you involved the queen of queens. You involved Lisa Vanderpump, girl. You ain't going, you ain't, no. You're done. Stand down. Stand down. That's an odd. But not even that. She involved a specific type of community of people who have been through certain things involving literally Whitney and her husband. Her husband have actually been Yes. Very traumatic, traumatic. Yeah. it like and And real things. Yeah. um' So, yeah. So it's just so funny how it flipped that way. um And Whitney was definitely much more quieter season two. I think she.
00:34:30
Speaker
she saw the hate and she saw like how she was the villain quote unquote season one and kind of like, okay, I need to stand down. Like that's not me type of person. Yeah. And I can respect that. And I can, honestly, I respect her honesty because one thing that people were pissed about is the only reason she came back for season two or was it season three? don't even know. There's so many seasons now. Like I'm impressed. I think it was three. think it was three.
00:34:55
Speaker
It was season three, but everybody was mad that, oh, she admitted that she went on because she wanted an opportunity to be on Dancing with the Stars. And I'm going be the first person to tell y'all, every single one of y'all, if you had the opportunity to have a chance to live out your dream for something that will be so successful for your family,
00:35:16
Speaker
You wouldn't say no either. Like, why are we hating on this girl for literally something where we would all say yes to? i can I would have. I've been like, hell yeah. Like, I'll come back. I'm like, I'll come back halfway through the season if it gives me the opportunity to audition for something I wanted to do. Yeah.
00:35:31
Speaker
I never understood like that. That hate, I think, is kind of done because honestly, what's her name? Miranda, the blonde. Yeah. Yeah. She was asked. I don't think people know this, but she was asked to be on season one. And because of the threesome scandal, she said no.
00:35:44
Speaker
But then she saw the success of the show. she wanted to be on it. Yeah. Yeah. Same thing. Same thing. So like I never understood why why Whitney got hate for that because I was just like, nah, that's a wash for me. Like I can i can see the hate for the things that she certainly says because, again, I'm not saying I agree with everything she does. But um so, yeah, it's just – Jamina really, Jamina really loves Whitney. If you guys cannot tell, she is very, very passionate about her. Listen, I really love her. I i love, i love to see a comeback story.
00:36:21
Speaker
and I think she has the ultimate comeback story from what season one presented her as. Yeah. um And like her success from it now, like ain't nobody, you and listen, if if that's going to bring me and my family success,
00:36:36
Speaker
I'm, I'm bring on the hate because I, I
Rob Roush's Betrayal on Traders
00:36:39
Speaker
don't care. Right. I mean, she's, she's doing it for her. Well, for her dreams, of course, but also like her family too. Right. So. Yeah. And she's honest about it. Like, at least she's not like being shady and lying about it. Like I'd rather, and and that's, that's, That's tell that's show business, baby. Like that is what people want to see. That's how it's done. That's what gets the views. yeah Let's talk about something else that got a lot of views recently was Rob Roush traders. Yes. From love Island, love Island first. Okay. First of all, I think he looks like the male version of Demi, like to a T is the male version of Demi.
00:37:18
Speaker
Rob. Yes. Demi from Secret Lives? Yes. Do you know what Rob looks like and do you know what Demi looks like? Yes.
00:37:29
Speaker
He has blue eyes, like blondish hair. She has brown eyes and brown hair. No, I'm going to show you. going to show you. not compare my precious angel Rob to that villainous woman. Look at him here. this is what popped up. Okay. That is AI.
00:37:48
Speaker
That is not his real Love Island photo. Okay. there's no like he's not in here here's this wait on it's going up a little blurry if i had a here's this if i had like a a ah next to each other i need you to put a comparison together i will i will i will do this for everyone i couldn't think of her name greater humanity yes i will do this for everyone you cannot tell me
00:38:19
Speaker
They look so similar. I'm going to do it. And you're going be like, oh, my God, you're right. I need you to do it. We'll put up a poll because i don't i don't see it. When I first saw a picture of him, I was like, that's to me.
00:38:33
Speaker
Yes. Yes. Okay. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. But anywho, let's talk about. and i need you I need you to do the comparison because I'm going to post this. i need a I need to pull up ASAP on this. I wouldn need to know what the people think because I don't see it.
00:38:48
Speaker
i um I also love Rob. Like I just, I watched him on Love Island. Oh yeah. No, I'm not a hater of him at all. I'm just like, I literally, when I first saw him, i was like, that's Demi. Like that is, they are the same.
00:39:03
Speaker
I just think Demi has such um like a round, I think she's beautiful. Don't get me wrong. But I think her face is like more round and Rob rob is more oval. So you have to find out. yeah i need you do a comparison but i can do it on if you don't watch traders i i need everybody to sit down and get a free trial of peacock and you need to watch traders traders is one of the greatest shows um bringing together gamers from like survivor big brother um to reality bravo love island i mean they bring people from all over i mean they have olympians on there they have RuPaul Drag Race people on there. Like they just have an incredible cast in the way that they do things. And Rob Roush by far is probably one of the best traders that has ever entered that castle. And he did an incredible job.
00:39:58
Speaker
But the reason we're bringing him out is because he betrayed the one person that is from his show, Love Island. Right. And the shock the utter shock and genuine like sadness that people felt when he admitted to her that he was a traitor and he was taking all the money so essentially the plot of the show is if there's a traitor at the end the traitor takes all the money if you're both faithfuls you split the money together and you win 200 however much money that you earn throughout the show because they do challenges things like that to earn more money for the pot right okay like 280 000 and this girl
00:40:38
Speaker
generally thought That she was going to win. Like she was like, oh my gosh, we did it. Rob, we freaking won. And when he admits it, like it's just insane. So bad. so bad. and I guess i don't know if she joked, but because he betrayed her so bad. i don't know if she joked about it, but basically it came to the point that In order for Maura to forgive Rob, she needed to get a Birkin. And y'all, she got it. So you know what? the end of the day, Maura, you win, girl. like She won. She won.
00:41:11
Speaker
You made it to the finals of Traders and you got a free Birkin. yeah Yeah. i I love that story. So I did not watch Traders, but I have been seeing that viral moment.
00:41:24
Speaker
of him admitting then like her face, like just her like shell shocked face. And then like right after seeing photos of him, like like him seen with big bag, did he finally get the Birkin and then him giving her the Birkin? I'm like, this is, i think it was on watch what happens live. Yes. With Andy right there.
00:41:45
Speaker
So good. So good. So imagine getting it like a free I mean, honestly, and the amount of like publicity they're all getting because of course, the final three people, you know, everybody wants to interview them, bla blah, blah. Like, it's just so amazing.
00:42:01
Speaker
it's It was an insane ending to the story. But again, Mara, at the end of the day, girl, you you
Sarah J. Maas Interview Highlights
00:42:08
Speaker
won. You got a free $30,000 Birkin. I don't even know how much it cost. She still walked away a winner. Yeah, i think they're like 30.
00:42:15
Speaker
thirty I mean, who knows which one like she got and like how you got you know what we can probably much that is. But yeah, I mean, it is actually so insane. um but I mean...
00:42:26
Speaker
I mean, you can't really hate on him. Literally the first thing that comes up And i okay, let me paint everybody the picture of Rob Roush. Okay. Rob Roush lives in Alabama.
00:42:37
Speaker
Okay. In a trailer on land, on a bunch of land. And he hunts snakes. Like that's his passion. That's so funny. And he like,
00:42:50
Speaker
ah what this he got his fame from love island because he's a very good looking guy and he was very popular on love island um which you need to watch this summer this summer i'm gonna force you to watch love island like i got hooked on it last summer so you're gonna watch it but it's it's classic trash tv you know but it's so entertaining love that yeah but the fact that this boy from alabama Like who i you guys, I'm not, I'm not like trying to be rude or offensive, but he really let us live in a trailer. It's like this, like double wide, like, and he like has done a tour. Like he did like a tour of his house one day for someone. And he's happy as can be like that. He is content just being like that. And I love that for him. And I hope he doesn't change that just because of all this popularity that he's getting. And he says he's not going to, um
00:43:43
Speaker
Good on him. Yeah. Good on him. I love that. And what a story. He has a girlfriend now that he met at a bookstore. Literally, they were buying books. What a guy. What a guy. But like, can you imagine if like he brought you to his house?
00:43:58
Speaker
I'm like, um excuse me, sir. I'm confused. Is this? I thought you won traders. Yeah, I thought you won traders. Weren't you on Love Island? um But speaking of books, we have another topic to cover with the call her daddy and having miss Sarah J. Mass on there. I was sat.
00:44:20
Speaker
I was sat 30 minutes before it went live. I saw my friends trickling on YouTube waiting. We were all waiting, trickling. We were all waiting to watch and see. And it was an incredible interview. i had never actually watched a Call Her Daddy episode podcast before. Like I've seen clips, but I've never watched one. It was so good. And for anyone who doesn't know, she is the author of like the most like well-known like romance fantasy romanticy series out there the one jamina really can't get through but that's okay um and she's coming out it because shes it's just too real like she's just that good of a writer that you get so angry at characters that you're like you're on the shelf for a while literally six months
00:45:04
Speaker
something's wrong with her but she's coming out with two more books, like literally back to back. And it is like, people are salivating for this. Like it is, it blew up. And soon as it was announced that she was coming on, like the millions of views that these like teaser videos got, it was, it was just like in, in saying it's a cult following. Like it is the books that are credited with people getting people back into reading again, which I count myself as one of those people. yeah,
00:45:33
Speaker
That was like the big news for me. And now I can't wait for my my rereads of ACOTAR. i know. that's And you know what? Good on me because i can i don't have to reread them. I'm just going to finish them by the time they come out. It's going to be great. I'm on the second book just so everyone knows. I'm just halfway through the second book. And this girl.
00:45:53
Speaker
I just can't get past her freaking issues. And it's just, I just, I'm not, I think, I think I'm just not reading fast enough because I think I will get past her issues. She's just too much wishy-washy for me right now. And I just, she's been on the shelf for like six months. Literally my bookmark is in there. She's, she's there, but I got to finish. I'm currently reading Quicksilver. I've got Quicksilver I'm finishing up. And then I have a woman, broken woman, woman, broken woman down. woman down yeah keep saying broken.
00:46:21
Speaker
But um once in those, I'm going to pick her back up. That way I can catch up to the new releases for sure. Yes. They're coming. But will I didn't realize she was so down to earth. Like, I did not, I don't know. Like, I didn't expect her, i don't know. It made me like her more Like, I know she's a great author, but, like, it made me like her more watching parts of the – I didn't watch the full thing, but i watching parts of the interview, she's so just chill. like Yeah, yeah. I've seen a few interviews with her, but for me, this was the most, like, real interview. And when she said that she loved Legolas, when she's like, oh, I had a Legolas cutout, I was like –
00:47:02
Speaker
i Are we best friends? Did we just become best friends? Like, are you, are you, she's like, I still have it. And I was like, oh my God, that was me. I don't still have my Legolas poster, but that was me with my Legolas poster. And so I was like, I knew I liked you for a reason. I mean, amongst other things, but I knew I liked you for a reason, but yeah, she is, um, she's really, she seems like a really just like cool,
Personal Touch: Annie's New Haircut
00:47:26
Speaker
Person, yeah. And I will say, the way that she dodged all the important questions. So good. Impressive. A genius. She's so good. There's a reason she's a writer. She knows how to word things to dodge things perfectly because the questions were asked, she just dodged every single one, practically. And the way that she did it was...
00:47:45
Speaker
so captivating that we forgot what the fucking question was we don't even know what we don't even want to know anymore im like i'm just so intrigued with what you're saying now it's like she'll tell us in time if she's saying like i don't know it's like okay like she'll tell she'll tell us when she's ready she'll tell us when she's ready yeah both is right i'm gonna like throw a hard hard pivot here but your hair looks great didn't you have it done I did. Yes, I did. Oh, good. is I see you didn't fully chop, but I do see some layers. I didn't fully chop, but it is like, I mean, it's, it's, she's short. No, but she's Larry. I like the late. layer right Those aren't layers. What are those? What's that called? They're layers. Well, like face framing to a face framing.
00:48:24
Speaker
Yeah, it's face framing is what I was trying to get to. And I got some color thrown in there because she was looking a little drab up top. but yes. love No, it's great. Just a hard pivot. Sorry, everybody else can't experience this moment. But yeah, we'll make sure that everyone make sure if you're listening to comment on the videos for this week on Annie's hair and how good it looks.
00:48:42
Speaker
Yeah, please do. That would make me feel so nice. um I already know it looks great because I've been seeing my hairdresser for like over 10 years and I love her so much. um But I would love a comment too. I really would. Yeah. Like, can we, everyone, like, it's it's that video. It's like, My friend just got her hair done. So you yeah put it nice better to be nice.

00:49:16
Speaker
Oh, look at me being right on time. Right on time. Not a minute. Not a minute too late. Look at you. yeah Actually, it's like 50 minutes too late i' actually like late. But the more I kept looking, I'm like, is it her ring light that's making her hair look so much lighter? And then I saw the layers and i was like, oh, that's right. We talked about this. She got her hair did. her hair did. Her hair did. And that's how we're going to end pop culture. Annie got her hair done.
Conclusion and Podcast Wrap-Up
00:49:40
Speaker
I am now a part of pop culture. In case you guys did not know. I am within the realm of all of these people we just talked about. For me to bring up the rear right after Sarah J. Maas and Alex Cooper call her daddy, like, you're welcome. The end. um i There's nothing further to discuss. There's nothing further discuss, except for, unfortunately, we do have to circle back to this wine.
00:50:00
Speaker
I honestly don't want to circle back to it. I've been slowly sipping and I can't take sip without
00:50:11
Speaker
it. enjoying that. It's like a personal challenge to do that. Yeah. Every sip comes with a face. And that's what I know I'm not a fan. It's like not even that. It's like like heavy breathe out, you know? Mm-hmm. Because of the care. Like i honestly, i want, I'm going maybe I need to call for Ben to bring a match. and I'm just going to like blow on it.
00:50:36
Speaker
And I'll be like, I want to inspire people at the circus. Yeah. That's what I feel like that could work. And I feel bad because, you know, this guy came from Spain with a vision and a entrepreneur's spirits. um And the spirits were there. The spirits were there. But i did him wrong they they did not lead him in the right direction.
00:51:01
Speaker
So I think I'm ready to cork if if you are. Do we have to?
00:51:10
Speaker
Well, um yeah, we have to because I mean, feel like... Let's just this in perspective. Everybody, what would you rate kerosene? Annie, go. Kerosene, 0.1.
00:51:21
Speaker
Only because it can make a flame. It gets the 0.1. Only because if I'm feeling a little chilly, it's actually beneficial. It actually can help me. But it loses the rest of the points for a taste. Yeah. I'm trying to like...
00:51:37
Speaker
Oh, is that your scoring? Point one? No, no, it's not point one. I do have my, so I do have my, my corking though. I'm like trying to, I'm only like just looking at this, like trying to take in the consideration of the story. okay You know, just, I feel like my corking is solely going come from the story.
00:51:55
Speaker
um Okay. I mean, it is a nice, it is a nice story. I will say that. It is a lovely little story. okay I think I'm ready. Go ahead. as I like have to hold my breath a little bit with that. So I am giving this a 2.9.
00:52:14
Speaker
Oh, mine's a three. I was going to, I just like passed bit. I was like three. Yeah. goodness Yeah. I will not be repurchasing. i will not be recommending, unfortunately. um throughout this time.
00:52:31
Speaker
Yeah, no. It's not going to make it on the roster for repeat drinking. some You were looking down, but you didn't see me because you were like, I'm going to give this. And know how you pause? I go.
00:52:43
Speaker
together it was like mouth that. was waiting for you to say because I'm like, I'm with you, sis. And that's again, that's based off the story. So, you know, that's what got that's what got it to the three. as any Everything else, i truly...
00:52:59
Speaker
It's a very unfortunate series of events of nothing nice to say. It is. It was a, that's an unfortunate series. Some of, you know, listen, some of the pop culture we went through was a little bit of an unfortunate series, but a lot, a lot of it's also, there's, there's some good stuff going on right now. um I think most importantly, it's going to be you finding more information about the man that was abducted. going research this, you guys. By dolphins. so There's two takeaways for me. Dolphins.
00:53:28
Speaker
And a comparison of Rob Rauch. I got you. i mean I got you on both. I got you on both. Those are my two takeaways that we will be circling back on.
00:53:39
Speaker
We're going to circle back on both of those. But as for now, that's a wrap. That's our show. That is all the 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.
00:53:55
Speaker
Cheers.
