I Juuust Had A Baby: Thursday, February 26th, 2026

What this episode is about

A candid, humorous discussion about post-baby life, focusing on the challenges of new motherhood, the changing social attention around pregnancy and postpartum identity, and how expectations and accommodations shift after childbirth. It highlights the emotional aftermath, the lingering “postpartum” phase, and the contrast between being celebrated during pregnancy and feeling ordinary afterward.

Key takeaways

• Postpartum fatigue is real, but the real twist is social reward—celeb-like treatment fades once normalcy returns.
• Zepbound to semiglutide pivot highlights non-linear weight journeys; medical advice often requires patient-by-patient tweaks and patience.
• Pregnant-then-postpartum culture reveals a paradox: support evaporates when the moment ends, not when you’re truly back.
• Everyday miscommunications become shared folklore; language slips fuel group identity and hilariously human error becomes culture.
• Healthy skepticism about trends is wise; personal health is deeply individual, not a one-size-fits-all shift.

And like you know when you like start fighting with someone in your head like I was like like this lady in the parking garage here today like she like started with me and I had like a whole argument being like I just had a baby and I'm like I literally had a baby almost a year ago. When do you stop saying that?

0:52 I think one year. Like you are postpart. Well first of all you don't get back to your true self until 2 years. emotionally like your DNA is

1:00 I will be in hospice saying I just had a baby. Yeah. But I think you have till one year.

1:05 Got to get pregnant again. Yeah. I'm pregnant and I just had a baby. Yeah. Yeah. Like I'm That's why it was like that's the best part of being pregnant. Now I'm obviously like romanticizing pregnancy. It was like one of the hardest things I've ever done. But like now like everyone's so nice to you. They take care of you. And then when you just give birth they take care of you.

1:21 Everywhere you go you feel like a like a celebrity like you're walking through a restaurant like with a big belly like hang. And then even when you're bre you have a newborn and then you're breastfeeding like you get special accommodations and then when it's over like you're just a [ __ ] like

1:33 yeah I'm enter I'm like slowly entering like just it's almost over for you. It's almost it is

1:39 like we're not going to accommodate around your schedule and like you're everything like you're that girl for the moment

1:43 for sure. But like pros and cons cuz then like the sooner you exit that stage like the sooner

1:48 you can just be like a human being and you don't need special treatment. And the thing about like pregnant women and postpartum women like you need special treatment you're going but like wouldn't you just rather be like good feeling good stepping your step

1:59 good is regular like I want to park I don't care where I park cuz I can walk like

2:04 I'm good but I can't walk. That's the thing. You're not good yet. That's the thing.

2:08 I wasn't good before. Like I'm not a good person. Like I'm not okay. Um I wanted to say big news in my life. I didn't even talk to you about this but I've made a decision. I'm getting off Zepbound.

2:22 Okay. Switching to semiglutide. Um I don't feel like the zapbound is vibing with me. Like I I'm having good results, but I've been getting like migraines and I think it might be due to that. So I'm just going back to my OG.

2:34 I don't know why you ever didn't do your OG for this trip around the O's for like my like year and a half off. Everybody was talking about Zbound. So I just like I don't know why. I was like

2:43 you just assumed you would bound even and Ben was on it and I was like yeah great sign me up. We have the same doctor so I was like yeah give me what he gave. You know, I just

2:50 No, women's health is so personal. I feel healthare healthcare is so personal. Um, women's health in particular, like we're not the same. And you had so much success when you did your first stint with GLP ones. If I were you, I would say copy paste.

3:05 Yeah. So, I'm just kind of like in this terrible period where I'm waiting for my semiglutide and I am a week out of my zap bound. So, like I'm eating good in the neighborhood.

3:12 Let's go to lunch. Like, we should vlog. Like, I'm ready to eat. I'm eating today. Literally. superers size melod.

3:19 There's something about like the few days after a shot wears off where like you're your biggest baddest self, you know, like worse than you are. Like of course like I have food control issues. That's why I'm on the drug.

3:31 No, but you have some making up to do. But in these days in particular, actually I have a dinner reservation tonight. So like I think I'm going to go ham

3:38 somewhere good. Yeah. Have I been there? I don't know. Where is it? Oh yeah. So good.

3:45 Yeah. A classic. Yeah. I thought I'd like go date night. I'm literally reading Cart right. Date night.

3:51 Who to who she I'm dating night with? I don't know. But like that's her vocal stem. Everybody when they copy her, they're like date night. You know,

3:58 people can't live like you can't just like Mora. You can't you can't just be Irish

4:02 speak. No. Or Kuckian. I mean that's so us. Like when somebody flubs a word. No, it's us. Like game tunes is a typo that we literally will never let live down.

4:12 I was actually like moving on from it until Valentine's Day happened again. So it was game tunes. Try as we might, we couldn't move on.

4:17 Game Tuesday once again, but you are the queen of that. I might be like the jester, but you're the queen of calling people out for pronunciations.

4:25 I feel like if that's my legacy, like I'm okay with that. It's harmless fun. It's annoying at best, but it's not mean-spirited.

4:32 No, but we have to talk to Margot. Call Margot. No, cuz she won't agree with me.

4:39 That's She'll say it's mean. That's the point. She'll unload her trauma. Can we talk about like some of the wokeies coming after me for stealing from Target? You know what? I meant to talk to you about this offline.

4:48 I just want to say like these narcs. Who are these NS? I know. And like I don't think that I stole. I was like definitely like judging it up for the joke. Like I did, like I said, spend $500. Like I'm pretty sure I got everything. But if I didn't, I was thinking like, you know what? Well, that's what Target gets for making me. And I just want to say I feel like we've had a lot of wokeies recently like coming in the comments like this show ain't for you. Go away. I didn't steal. It was a joke.

5:10 Yeah. I And if I did, that's on Target. I went to Target and I'm not a trained cashier.

5:15 Claudia, if Claudia like accidentally got away with one baby onesie after spending $500 at Target. Like why do people That's Target's problem.

5:23 Wait, why do you work for Target? Like for everyone coming for me? Like seriously, I don't know. I feel like we've strayed into like unchartered territory.

5:30 I just feel like that was like a bone that people just ran with. Like not even the real ones. Like I wasn't giving real ones

5:35 to be clear. Like I'm pretty sure I didn't steal. And if I did, all I was saying was that's the selfch checkckout tax.

5:43 Yeah. And I do think they probably account for that like in their annual. I went into the checkout process in an earnest manner. I was like, I plan to scan everything. If the machine and I aren't working on the same level, I I didn't build this system. Like

5:59 Well, I sort of had the opposite experience. I went to Target yesterday inspired by you and it was everything that you said it was anymore. Like I seriously could have bought everything.

6:06 I'm telling you, I know this is like not a new statement. It's an amazing place.

6:10 And I actually made money at the selfch checkout machine. Why? You got a coupon?

6:14 No, because something that I grabbed didn't have a tag or anything. So free. No. So I asked for help and he like tried to scan it and he couldn't. This is the way I think it I don't know. Anyways, he was scanning it, looking it up, everything. Couldn't find it. And he said like, "Congrats because for my time and my troubles." I think that's what happened.

6:34 Did you also get the free item? Yeah, of course. Wait. So you like double one. I I made money.

6:38 That's amazing. I know. It was like a great And then I also saw you posting affiliate links from your haul. So like you really crushed it.

6:44 I need to go to Target every day. I need to go to Target. Bring them kids. Totally. Was it a dayare

6:50 down? I went like later in the day. Nap time for the kids. It was more so like dinner time. Um

6:56 Oh, so it was like sort of like happy hour at Target. Oh, it was happy hour and it was mighty happy.

7:01 So like to be clear like the Target warriors lay off. Okay. Leave Cooji alone. As she said, she's going through a lot. She just had a baby.

7:09 I just had a baby a year ago. Okay. Like, stop. Pregnancy brain. Nine months. Nine months. How did you do I not hear my beautiful speech last week?

7:16 It's like they they do. And then everyone's like, "Yay for Ty." But then it's like the next day,

7:20 they're not giving Ty grace. They're not. It's just it's they forget. They never are.

7:24 But we're not talking about like literally everyone who listens to the show because you're amazing and so understanding and so full of love and joy.

7:30 Love, joy, laughter, spirit, and positivity. It's so true. the comment section sometimes like have me crack.

7:36 Oh my Jack and I are always sending each other. I feel like it's crazy that like you know like Jimmy Fallon got the job of like late night when like somebody in the comment section of our daily episodes are funnier. It is like the most pure I'm belly laughing.

7:51 What's more like it's good but like so like I feel so stupid when like I post a picture and then like someone comments something that like I should have [ __ ] captioned it. Like yesterday I posted a selfie with my husband we took at in Palm Beach

8:03 and the caption obviously should have been sender will text message of course and you forgot it's Jackie you just had a baby

8:09 and I was just like so excited that we took a selfie course I went into my phone to see the last time that we took a selfie together like both of us without the kids just like both of us made up like the two of us taking a selfie and it was at a wedding we went to in March.

8:24 It's not that crazy. We haven't taken a selfie together in a year. That's crazy. We used to take one together every day. Like we would just be at brunch.

8:33 Yeah. Yeah. Isn't that That's crazy. Yeah, that is crazy. A year without selfies.

8:40 It's like a year without rain. Much like Selena Gomez, you know. Yeah. When's the last time you and Ben took a selfie?

8:45 I actually take selfies of us quite a bit. Just the two of you? Yeah. No rubé. No ruble.

8:51 Michael Bubé. We don't take other photos, just selfies. That's like our issue. We have no like photos taken by a third, you know? cuz it's literally just always us hanging out

8:58 as the selfie camera continues to like zoom out. One day it'll give you like an arm extension. Yeah.

9:03 Um so maybe you won't have to confront that issue. Yeah. But like I'm at a place in my, you know, physical journey where I'm okay with like exclusive selfies. Like when I meet people on the street, they're like, "Is it okay if we take a selfie?" I'm like, "Bitch, I would prefer it." Like don't be asking your friend. Don't be asking your mom. Like that makes me uncomfortable. That's like sort of fan interactions where I feel like Ben Platt, you know?

9:21 Yeah. Yeah. No, a selfie is always a good idea. I forgot. I used to like seriously take selfies all not that that's good either.

9:28 No, that's not good either. But like the higher the angle the closer to God and Yeah. And with these new phones like you can zoom out on your selfie.

9:35 Apparently the Samsungs have been doing that for years. But again like nobody knew that because it doesn't matter.

9:41 Yeah. Like they go underwater. You know that first Samsung are doing things that like iPhones will be doing in 5 years and will be like this is amazing. And the Android users will be like we've been shouting at you for 5 years that an Android could do this. An Android could literally cure cancer and I wouldn't buy Go home green.

9:55 Go home green. Also, Android does have a feature that I'm really waiting for iPhone to get. It's the one that we were talking about when you take like a bunch of photos like especially with the kids and like all the kids are smiling in different pictures. There's not one where all are smiling and Android has this feature where you can like use face from the different shot and then you can make like a picture where everyone is smiling.

10:18 So, I'm pretty sure that's not an Android feature. It's a Google phone feature. I don't know if Google phone is an Android or just like considered one of the lesser phones. Are all the lesser phones considered Androids?

10:28 No, Android is a brand is a brand. Samsung. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Also, you know what's like a modern thing that like annoys me and like I wish we could come back from it, but I don't know how we can. Like I hate when like you ask someone to take a picture and like you take 12. It's just like your impulse to take like if you were taking a picture of me and you like

10:46 Yeah. If you want to do a good job, you take multiples. But it's all the same picture and like you don't know how to delete them because it's all like a good picture. But like there's no just taking one picture anymore.

10:56 Yes. Yes. I think the idea is like to give people options but if you aren't moving in the photo. Yes. I have 12. That's why when I take a picture I'm like this. It looks like a stop motion video. I'm like

11:05 Yeah. But sometimes you could be off. Even when we take our daily photo I'm like this.

11:10 Oh, I don't move. I'm like is this I'm moving arm, chin, jaw. I'm like, but what if you're like off?

11:17 I'm like Britney Spears in one of her dancing videos. The person taking the camera cuz sometimes that happens where

11:21 that does happen. But then it's on the person taking the camera to move with me.

11:24 So then you're like, "Yes, of course. Of course." But if if you're truly a good photo taker, you're moving with me. You're working with me, not against me.

11:30 Okay. They might not be truly a good photo taker. Then just take one. Just take one. I feel like Let's get back to just one. Okay. Two photos. Cuz sometimes I like to smile with teeth and sometimes without teeth. I like that variety. That's why like most millennial women have like a 100,000 photos in their camera roll because it's probably like 25,000 moments

11:48 10 times. Yeah, you that was the math on that. Shut up. Four times. I said 100,000 and then 20 I would say it's probably 20,000 moments average four to five times.

12:00 Okay. Yeah. I don't know. Like I know it's never going to go back to the way that it was, but sometimes I'm like I just have the same picture in my phone over and over.

12:08 Yeah. And I don't know what's the best one. They're like all the same. They're different.

12:12 Yeah. So that's just like, you know, modern problems. We need modern solutions,

12:21 which would be Oh, the Galaxy phone, the Google phone picture thing. Actually though, the Google phone picture thing requires you to take multiples.

12:30 Yeah. So the the modern problem is has a modern solution and then we end up with one good one

12:34 with one great photo. All right. We might have to get a Google Google phone. Honestly,

12:38 we could get like a work one. I love that. I love that. I love that. Um, we've got lots of stories today. What are they?

12:46 Good stories. I watched Southern Charm last night. I didn't know that was happening. Zach and I went to watch JFK Love Story, but we were booted out of our Hulu. So, as we come

12:54 The family Hulu. Yeah. And I had been previously we were on Zach's family Hulu forever. And then I got booted and I was like,

13:01 "Let me try a different family Hulu. Let me try a different family." maybe like there's, you know, they've got they got touched by by corporate. So I was like, let me try ours cuz nobody complains about ours. So I tried our family and I was on it for a couple weeks and now I've been booted and um

13:14 I haven't heard of anyone getting booted from the Hulu though. So I feel like it's starting.

13:17 Okay. It happened to me twice now. And so we were contemplating like we need to make our own Hulu. I don't feel like doing that right now. Let's see what's on YouTube TV. I was going to finish the summer house that I didn't finish the night before and then I saw Southern Charm was recording and I was like oh I have been so I don't even know what day it's on cuz I've like been missing it every week. Um, so we watched the episode and like everything I said last week like I don't see how Craig's the villain yet.

13:38 Oh, here Craig became the villain. Okay, listen. We all have a role to play. We all have a role to play there in Mexico. Like he's wasted and he's like yelling at everyone and being very crazy.

13:47 I just feel like no one's giving Craig grace. He just had a baby. Like No, totally. And I feel like there no one is giving him grace. Like he just went through a breakup and like he is drinking more than he like drank previously. like cuz he was only drinking like soft alcoh liquor like not hard and now obviously he's like

14:04 hitting the bottle and um like where and his friends are just always yelling at him and he's like what what if you tried being there for him

14:11 and I'm so curious when in the season Craig came on this show because they started filming Southern Charm in like May or whatever. Craig came on the show in June and he was talking about how it is the best season ever. Like it's getting back to the roots of it where it's like everyone's single, everyone's having fun. They're on this trip in Mexico and like Craig and Charlie are spoiler alert like an item and Austin and Sally are like hooking up and it's like really like that doesn't happen anymore shows because everybody's like getting out their relationship and like you know you don't really get like cast hookups so it's just fun. I get what Craig was saying but did he come and say all that like before this before like he became the villain of the season or after?

14:46 You probably didn't know that he was the villain. No, I think he did. He's yell he's fighting with everyone.

14:49 Yeah, but like that's just a day of work when you're a Southern Charm castmate.

14:52 Yeah. And everyone like likes to talk badly about him in their confessionals too, which is like super brave. Um, but I was just I like would love to know and like when he was talking about Charlie, he was like, "You would love Charlie." And I want to know if they were an item. He was just like, you know, thinking about it, thinking about something. So, Southern Charm stays winning, stays being the best show.

15:12 I didn't really watch TV last night. Like Ben was having like a medical episode.

15:16 Okay. I'm not going to ask further questions. I don't know if we want to know. No, he's fine. Completely fine. He do does believe he's still concussed.

15:23 Okay. Well, let's get into the stories without further ado. Oh, right. Oh, sorry.

19:38 You're croissant cooji. I am thoughtfully shopping. Croissant cooji. Facts. That's like why they hired me as such a book person.

19:46 You're the perfect face. Yeah. Our first story is very sad and shocking news. Oh my god, I forgot about this.

19:52 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby's son, Robert Jr. has died at the age of 23. He was found dead after officers responded to an overdose call that turned into a death investigation on February 23rd. A Salt Lake City Police Department spokesperson confirmed to Page 6 on Wednesday. Shortly after the news of her son's death broke, Mary spoke out saying she knows that he is finally at peace. She said, "Our beloved son, Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God's promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.

20:27 No, I'm like this was so upsetting. I feel like we watched this whole situation unfold really quite quickly. I feel like we she I guess maybe it was happening longer, but we found out about it in that kind of like groundbreaking conversation maybe a year ago. Um and then at the reunion she was talking about how like he's in prison and honestly like as a mom she's kind of relieved because she knows he's like safe in there. Um, and for it to have escalated so quickly. He just got out of prison. Like, h, this is just like the worst possible ending to this story. Um, and then like this clip came across my TikTok just like I hadn't seen it. Um, when she was just like trying to get through to him. It wasn't like the original conversation. I think it was like later on and she was just talking about how like he's the best thing in her life and like she literally never experienced happiness until she had a

21:13 son and like it was everything she ever wanted and all the happiness in her life like she gets from him. It was just so

21:18 I think that was in the original conversation cuz that's what I watched in the season watch of Salt Lake City and cuz he was saying that he like didn't want to be here anymore

21:26 and she was like saying like what a gift he was for her. I feel so sad for her.

21:30 I feel so sad for her. I hope she's okay. I really hope that like the network is giving her grace. Like

21:35 I know in moments like this like you know reality TV crews are like told to like you know capture it all. I do know that they've halted filming. Like cameras went down yesterday, but like she needs time. Like like seriously, leave her alone. Like I hope unless she's like dying to film, which I can't imagine that she is. I just hope they really give her like all the grace imaginable.

21:54 Will. This is so sad. Like I could not believe what I was reading. And I'd been following the saga for like a year or two, so like I knew that it was happening, but I just did not expect this to be the ending. And I had heard that he had just gotten out of prison. So I feel so like seriously heartbroken for her. I can only imagine what she's going through right now. Um, and I feel like she's not a person who like lets people in. I don't feel like she has like a lot of people in her life to lean on in a time like this. She has like kind of a kind of like an untraditional marriage. Like I don't find like I I just never I don't get the vibe that they like lean on one another.

22:25 We also don't know that much about it. So we do or they don't. We really don't know.

22:28 I just feel like I don't know who she's leaning on in this moment. And like I just really hope she has people around her cuz like this can be

22:34 Well, she's close with Angie now. Yeah. But like real close or like TV close? Real close. Like she's TV friends with like married like you know she has like friend she's friendlier with like people on the show but like I think her and Angie like unexpectedly formed like a really close friendship.

22:47 You need people like around you in moments like this cuz if you're alone like you're not going to be okay.

22:51 Yeah. I feel really sad. Like me too. I I seriously like I will think about her and pray for her. Like I feel really really sad for her.

22:58 Yeah. What a like what a crazy saga. And I I just honestly I can't believe it to be how it ends. like terrible like feels like such a short amount of time like since

23:08 Yeah. since we found out about it. I don't know how much longer it was going on prior to that.

23:13 Yeah. But seriously, just like leave Mary alone. Like if she never wants to come back to the show, like just leave her alone.

23:19 I think everyone will do whatever she wants. You know, everyone like will rally behind her. I really believe that.

23:24 Okay, good. Um I really hope she's okay. Yeah, me as well. Uh are you ready for our next story?

23:30 Yeah. One of our favorite subjects. what breastfeeding and combo feeding. Hill Hillary Tub is on Conger Daddy and she was talking about how she could

23:41 cracking up that I saw like so many things like coming out of this interview like the Lindsay Lohan thing, the um Ashley Tale thing, but Jackie chose the breastfeeding one.

23:48 She talked about her struggles with breastfeeding and combo feeding and supplementing and I found it to be like so funny. I I didn't even see it. I always do wonder, especially when I first had Harry and I was breastfeeding and I was having such a hard time. Like I really became obsessed with like knowing which celebrities breastfeed, like how do people do it? It's so hard. And so I love when uh people talk about especially when it's like they have something new to add to the conversation. Um

24:11 so she said she could still cry thinking about breastfeeding struggles, admits she was stubborn about combo feeding even like with her fourth when you like think like you know what you're doing and it gets easier. She had a hard time. I did also choose the Lindsay Lohan thing. It was more so like Hillary defin but to me like that was the best conversation. Um and what did she say about Ashley Tisdale?

24:33 She just said um she was talking about like Matthew Coma chiming in and like the whole saga. She just said she felt really sad for like the group of women who were like being slandered when like that really wasn't the truth. Um and then Alex was like when your man chimed in like but like like and it made they made it seem like he did it without Hillary's warning you know and not warning sorry approval. what did you make of that? And she was like, he's just so funny. It was kind of like a weird response. Um, I feel like she didn't really add a lot because the internet it hand like she came out a hero on that. The internet handled it for her. It wouldn't be wise of her to like say more or do more. Like let's be really happy with how this ended. She came out looking like a hero. Ashley is a loser. She's the winner. So, she didn't like go there. She was very political about it, which I think was

25:14 wise because if you get like if we reopen it, it could only get bad for her and like you want to win

25:20 gracefully. Yeah. I know. It was very smart. And I don't think she's like a catty person, so I think that was like her natural inclination just to like move on from it. Um, and then she also talked about like her beef with Lindsay Lohan.

25:32 Yeah. She talked about crashing the red carpet at the Freaky Friday premiere and how Lindsay Lohan was her childhood nemesis. So like of course she did that and then she wasn't surprised when like Lindsay came to the Cheaper by the Dozen premiere. But like Chad Michael had invited Lizzy Hillary to the premiere of Freaky Friday. So, she wasn't like totally a crasher, but she knew that Lindsay and her like we're not going to

25:53 they were just like upstaging one another. Lindsay went to the Cheaper by the Dozen Carter.

25:57 That's insane. Like, that's so crazy. I feel like um also, you know what I want to talk about is Sophia Franklin's book announcement.

26:05 Not I was scrolling through the likes and actually Juan posted about it today, which I was um like this is niche internet drama that I'm so curious about like who liked the announcement on Sophia's um Instagram. Let me find it. Because of course, Alex Earl liked it, which I feel like it shouldn't be surprising. Like, we know they hated you. Like, we know Alex hates Alex. Like,

26:23 but just Okay. I And we know Alex hates Alex. Licks Vers. And as far as I know, Alex Earl and Sophia Franklin don't have a relationship. So, it's not like I'm supporting you in your project. Like, I don't even know if they've met. Like,

26:34 yeah. Who else? But not everyone who liked it means that they have beef with Alex Cooper. Like, you can just support two business women.

26:42 Yes. But my my thing is that I don't believe there's any relationship between Alex. Alex Earl liking it means something. But I'm saying everybody else.

26:50 No, everyone else. Like I don't think like Emma Ledger, you know, like the people that I follow, I don't think Emma Ledger or Brook Mo have a problem, but Ashton Earl liked it too. I don't think Ashton knows Sophia. Okay. Um, you know what I thought was interesting was that Paige Dorbo liked it. And I feel like I don't know if Paige Dorbo and Sophia Franklin like have a friendship. I mean, they're both New Yorkers, so maybe it's just like, you know, women supporting women.

27:11 Paige is a very supportive woman like of other women. But I feel like Paige and Alex Cooper have beef because they were like hot and heavy for a minute. Remember like

27:19 they went on the podcast a bunch of times. Hannah and Alex. Hannah especially. No. And I think Hannah's good with Alex Cooper. Like cuz she was just on promoting her comedy special. So she's been on twice. Hannah, but like around the time of Alex's Spotify deal was like the very last time Paige ever went on. And now I don't know why I've like always thought that maybe there was beef between them and now her liking this. I might just be starting stuff. I don't know.

27:40 I don't know. It's impossible to know because like the way people beef these days is a cold war. Yeah. You know, nothing ever gets hot.

27:48 Right. Right. I just thought it was interesting. Yeah. But like I I liked it. I have no horse in this race.

27:53 No, I liked it too. Well, I liked it cuz I know people could say, "Well, we liked it." Like

27:57 Right. I I I was supporting a friend. I liked it, too. You know, a lot of people could be supporting a friend. Doesn't mean that they're taking any sides.

28:06 I just want to check one thing. Just don't mind me. Yeah. Go ahead. Why does my phone freeze? Is Instagram down?

28:15 I was I've been having Instagram glitch yesterday. I tried to talk to people about it, but they weren't experiencing it. So, I was

28:21 I Well, you were like barking at my tree and I was like, problems elsewhere. No. And it's still happening for me when I go to upload a story or a photo. Like my most recent images are like from July and they're all over the place. If I scroll down, then it's December. It's just like all over the place. That's what I'm dealing with.

28:38 That's a lot. I'm sorry. Yeah, but I figured out a way around it cuz I still needed to post content.

28:42 Okay. Sorry, I I was looking up something, but I figured your theory and Well, I wanted to see if Paige Dorbo followed Sophia Franklin and she does because if she did it, I'll be like, "Oh, you went out of your way to like this photo."

28:51 Alex Earl follow Sophia. Well, maybe they followed her like yesterday. Do you know what I mean?

28:56 Yeah. Yeah. Let me see if Alex Earl does. She definitely does. Following tab. Same. Bring back the following tab.

29:02 I know. Like tea. There would be so much tea that way. There would be. Alex Earl does not follow Sophia Franklin. So, she went out of her way to go to someone's page and like it. Okay. Okay.

29:14 So, that's shady. That is shady. Yeah. And it was always shady, you know. It was always shady. Yeah. No, I I might just be making stuff up with the page.

29:21 And I think everyone else probably just wants to support Sophia. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was just like I have thought for a while that like maybe there was beef between them because they were like sort of hot and heavy publicly like swirling it up and then it kind of died down

29:32 but then Hannah still got involved. So, I feel like if maybe Hannah likes someone, like they're good, you know, like they

29:37 people get busy. Yeah, of course. Different, you know, you live different places. Of course. Of course.

29:42 It's hard to keep in touch. Just a theory I'm putting out there. Sorry if that makes me toxic.

29:47 Uh, I don't think so. No. Are you ready for our next story? Some exciting casting reboot news. Emma Roberts will star in a Bride Wars movie reimagination for TV in development at Peacock. So, a new TV series that reimagines the 2009 film Bride Wars is in development at Peacock with Emma Roberts set to star and executive produce through her Bellatric production company, which did produce Tell Lies. So, it has a 10 out of 10 track record.

30:13 Yeah. When we talk about um like celebrity book clubs and like the Reese Witherspoon model, we don't talk enough about Emma Roberts. Like, she started like a very swirly millennial book club many many years ago before it was like really popular to do books.

30:28 Not even that swirly. It's very like intellectual. It's very intellectual. It's called Beltress and then I guess she turned it into a production company. Was Tell Me Lies her first project

30:37 or it was the first one of note? I think it was probably the first one because we would note anything that she did.

30:42 She's crushing it. One of Productions, First Kill on Netflix, and Tell Me Lies.

30:54 Okay. So, she's one for two, but maybe First Kill hasn't Oh, no. It came out in 2022. Okay. But you got to get your feet wet. And she made it to Netflix. That's a success.

31:02 Yeah, totally. Um, so now, oh, Bride Wars. Bride Wars. And she'll be like using her production company.

31:09 Is she going to be Kate Hudson or the or she's blonde? But she's also Brun and she's also

31:14 Yeah. Right. It's But it was like it's very much a movie about hair color. Yeah. So, it depends which hair color she'll choose.

31:19 I'm hesitant because Bride Wars is a perfect film. And I'd like to thank the good old folks at Dry Bar for like keeping it in the zeitgeist because like I've seen Bride Wars probably 20 times and 19 of them have been while getting my hair blown out of at uh Dry Bar. Um I love that movie. I love that genre of movie that was just like such a simple time, you know? I feel like the film is really a love letter to New York in the plaza. Like it's really beautiful. Um and the concept is like funny and sort of timeless, right? Like you know two girls get the same wedding date.

31:47 So actually they're they're changing it up a little bit. So, set against the charming backdrop of North Carolina, Bride Wars, the TV series follows a big sitting wedding planner, Emma Roberts, whose arrival in a small town sparks an epic showdown with the beloved local planner. As the two women battle to plan the same wedding, their rivalry quickly escalates into a larger clash over friendship community they ultimately love. So, it's

32:07 just really like loosely based on the planners are fighting, right? At least they're changing it a lot because like Bride Wars is perfect and it should remain untouched. But if you want to like extrapolate a separate storyline from it, it's really doesn't even sound like it's based on bride wars.

32:20 It's giving heart of Dixie. What about it? Like she's a big city doctor who flew down to a small town and had

32:27 Oh, and she was like competing with Yeah. with the local. It's a good analogy. Bride of Dixie.

32:33 I love it. Um Okay. You know. Yeah. Sure. No, I'm not going to complain about things like this that are me.

32:40 No, it you know, it does someone out there is thinking of me. It does bear just like bringing up the timeless conversation about how like nobody can create anything original anymore. Like everything is based on something. Everything's a reboot, a recreation, a renew renewal, reunion. Um, but this does feel a little bit more creative and inspired than some of the other like reboots we've

32:58 and it's good subject matter to be pulling from, you know. Yes, it's such a good movie. Like Kate Hudson's Bangs and actually like the star power in that film

33:07 that was a cryat's launching pad. Like I know people say what do people say was his launching pad but like it is that movie

33:15 and who's the other husband? John Krinski is it? And then the brother it's a starstudded movie.

33:22 John Krinsk or I might be confusing something borrowed IMDb. But that's the other guy.

33:26 John Krinski is in in something blue. Yeah. Something borrowed. Excuse me. Who like loves her

33:31 and he's the the love interest in the sequel. Interesting. Okay. Kate Hudson and Hathaway. Candace Bergen is the Plaza. Brian Greenberg, you know him from How to Make It in America. He's one of the husbands.

33:45 Yes, he is. Chris Pratt and Steve Howie is the brother. Oh, he's the brother. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's also in something borrowed.

33:52 Show me him. That doesn't look like the brother. I feel like the casting director.

33:57 No, that's the husband of of um Brian Greenberg. The brother. That's the brother. I think

34:02 I feel like the same casting director for Something Borrowed was the same casting director for this movie just because like it gives such similar vibes.

34:11 Kristen Johnson, our queen, she is, you know, she's the woman who fell out of the window in Sex in the City. Yeah.

34:16 She plays like the best friend at the teach at the school, right? Yep. Yep. Um such a good movie. Some of these people don't look familiar to me, but

34:22 she should start staring a sequel of Bad Teacher. They should remake Bad Teacher. My favorite movie. Yeah, I need to watch Pride Wars again. Like that's the takeaway here.

34:33 Okay, good. You have your homework. I'm just like following a theory. Except tonight is the Traitors finale.

34:39 Okay. The casting director was Marcia Debonis and Jennifer Houston. And then the casting director for something borrowed. They're both movies that are cast like very well. Okay. 100% wrong. So

34:53 I think it was just like the time. I'm glad we followed my theory. I think it was the time.

34:56 Yeah. Yeah. Those were the go-tos. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? What number?

35:01 Four. I feel like I'm not, but it feels like kind of crazy to not be ready. No, I think I think you're not ready. And then and then you'll get ready. Okay.

35:09 Ballerina Farm. Hannah Neilman reveals she's pregnant with baby number nine. Okay. This shouldn't be shocking because

35:17 I'm sorry, this is shocking. No, she literally when she was doing press before she was like scarred by the times, the Sunday Times or whatever, she they asked, which I thought was such an inappropriate question, they asked her and Daniel that in that turnt interview, what their thoughts are on birth control, and they did answer being like, "We don't use birth control, like if God wants to bestow another child upon us, like then he shall." And I guess God bestowed because she's pregnant.

35:43 Wow. apparently, and I saw people talking about this on TikTok this morning, like if you live in the area, like it wasn't a secret, like she takes her daughter to ballet class and like she's fully pregnant and she has runs the store

35:52 for a really long time. So, they think like the announcement means like perhaps she's even given birth.

35:56 Oh my gosh. That's just what like a theory on Utah talk was that would be amazing if she was able to like have a totally private pregnancy being like a huge influencer

36:04 and people like in her town and her community like respecting that, not like selling it to Duma.

36:09 Yeah. Um although I don't think this is the type of news like Duma covers. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, you can go and tell a friend, but you know, at the end of the day, it's just like the lady is pregnant.

36:18 The announcement was also very lowkey. And it was in like their new farmer protein. So, she said, um,

36:23 they did like this very beautiful movie about, you know, when you think of ballerinas, you think grace, you think elegance, you think poise, but what you don't think strength, and then it turns black and white. It's like showing all the muscles of the ballerina and how they like need protein.

36:36 Yeah. And then she like walks away with her belly. Yeah. No, not even walks away. Like it wasn't a grand reveal. In like the 11th second, she just walks into the room where they're doing ballet and she's pregnant. Like it was so lowkey.

36:46 I love it. And I feel like good marketing of course for their balleriner protein.

36:51 Farmer protein. Nine kids like pop off heroic queen. Insane. You know, obviously it's a lot of kids. Like that needs to be mentioned. But that's her joy. Like I don't think I could ever do it. But I'm certainly not here to yuck someone's yums when it comes to how many children they want to have.

37:10 No. And it's like if you can do it, if you physically can do it and they have the money, like a lot of, you know, how many kids you want to have like is predicated by your financial situation, they seem to be doing quite fine. Um, so yeah, do it.

37:24 It's awesome. It's crazy. um her content like I'm like I I really I I hate to be one of those people cuz like I hate when it's like you have to tell us like how many nannies do you have and how many housekeep but I do wonder if she has a housekeeper cuz like she's making so many dishes just to make a smoothie.

37:43 Yeah. And she because she has to boil everything and the kids are so [ __ ] messy. So but just make yourself

37:47 Yeah. No, but did you see her six-year-old made a loaf of sourdough? I made you watch that.

37:51 I did. The six-year-old did a whole sourdough from like starter, which if you've made sourdough, like that's insane.

37:59 She also made a beet smoothie with beets from their garden. And she had to boil the beets. Like there were so many

38:08 are really messy. So many dishes involved. There was at least one Dutch oven, a couple of mason jars, bowls, whisks, blenders, and then of course there was an ad for the part farmer protein cuz she made like a protein smoothie. I was exhausted watching her make this smoothie.

38:22 She has older kids. I'm sure that they help with like cleaning and chores, which they better.

38:25 They seem to really have like a nice system. They help on the farm. Do you notice they've been traveling a lot ever since the like, you know, you're being kidnapped by your husband and he didn't take you to Greece allegations? They travel now like all the time with all the kids.

38:36 No, I only saw when they like lived in Ireland. No, cuz she just posted about their trip. They were gone for a month.

38:41 Where'd they go? Um, where did they go? Like Scotland? Like a bunch of places. Sweden or like the Netherland? somewhere in like

38:49 it wasn't part of Ireland. No, no, I know that trip. But then she just posted Oh, yeah. Well, didn't share like that we got back from our trip and they went to like like that area. Do you know what I mean? Like the like Swedish Sweden Netherlands area. What's that area called?

39:03 I don't know. It starts with an N. I feel like Netherlands. No, no, it's like what's that region called?

39:09 Nordic. Nordic. The Nordic region. Yeah, I think they went there. That's so sweet. I don't think that she her pregnancy

39:16 Oh, they also fly coach. I just want to say that her pregnant self and her eight kids are traveling just to like prove a point to have the internet.

39:21 I don't know. I feel like they weren't traveling a lot before that article. Uh that was such a crazy time.

39:25 That was a crazy time. No, I think that you know she's going to Ballerina is going to rain.

39:30 Rain is going to rain. I know. I'm like really exhausted just thinking about that. Like

39:34 but you know what's so crazy about them is that like they live like on a homestead. So they don't like and they homeschool. So like you know we don't get like paparazzi pictures of her.

43:13 Thank you for turt. You're welcome. Our fifth and final story and then we have a bonus story. Ah.

43:18 Um, Bill Gates confesses to cheating on his ex-wife Melinda with two women during their 27year marriage.

43:24 My god. Like seriously, justice for Melinda Gates. So, Bill Gates like gave a town hall to his foundation.

43:29 Oh, you know, I saw like a story about this and I didn't read it. So, he talked he like coped to two affairs while he was married and then also like apologized for being associated with Jeffrey, though he never saw anything on happen with Jeffrey.

43:42 Um, he admitted on Tuesday to his foundation that he did have affairs with two Russian women during their 27-year marriage. Oh my god, I would like seriously feel so awkward if like I just went to work and my boss is like up on the stage like telling me his deep dark secrets. Like I'm all set. Justice for like the women sorry everyone honestly who had to just like go to work that day. Like they have things going on in their lives and like why is like this is so inappropriate.

44:07 He told his staffers quote one was a Russian bridge player player who he who met me at bridge events and one was a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities.

44:17 No, this is so much information. and I feel so weird and I wasn't even there. He also apologized to his staff members for his ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

44:26 Well, that's good. He notably insisted that he did nothing illicit and saw nothing elicit while traveling in the US abroad with Epstein. To be clear, I never spent any time with the victims, the women around him, he claimed to his staff. He went on to give his wife credit, saying Melinda was always kind of skeptical about the Epstein thing.

44:44 Oh. Um, but he insists that, you know, all was kosher. I feel like Melinda Gates has really been um,

44:54 what's the word I'm looking for? Yeah. Because like she was always getting looped in with her husband, right? And you know, when you're like that wealthy, like people do like theorize about you all the time. A lot of times it like means nothing, but she was like always the gates, the gates, the gates. And then she was like, "Fuck this."

45:06 Just like Bill, you can't you can't even like be loyal to me and I'm over here like being called a pedophile for you.

45:12 So I love that she got out and she don't give a [ __ ] like she was just giving an interview like she's not holding back. Um I think this is like so crazy to like tell at work where was HR feels like definitely crossing a line.

45:23 I feel like everyone else that's in the Epstein files like at to a certain point is just sort of like you know backing away from like positions they're resigning. Peter Tia left CBS News like they're either being fired or they're just like quietly going into the dark like you know that because that's like the thing to do and Bill he won't go down with this ship

45:42 right you know like he has his found like he's not going to go quietly he's not going to go period

45:47 right same with Casey Wasserman he we talked about that and he said like he refuses to leave his own company but he's now putting his company up for sale I think he thinks that's like a fair way for him to like not have to like give up what he worked for and for all the clients to like be happy that he's gone on. I don't know who bought it. It's kind of like a sinking ship. Like I wouldn't like you get a great price.

46:06 So after we spoke about it, like I was reading a little bit more about Casey Wasman and it's like there's not really a smoking gun there.

46:12 No, it's very circumstantial. So like if I'm Casey Wasserman and I really believe that I didn't do anything, like why would I sell my or why would I leave my company that I created?

46:21 An emission of guilt. It is. That's true. What a guilty person would do. That's true.

46:25 And if you didn't do that [ __ ] like you don't deserve to have your whole life's work taken from you.

46:30 That's true. Like you don't see Prince Andrew like uh defending himself. Yeah. Right. Right.

46:37 I don't know. Um I obviously like I don't follow Bill Gates. Like I I I don't use Microsoft.

46:45 Like a Gates Foundation swirly. I don't even know what they do. So like sorry that happened. Um thanks for sharing and I feel weird. So thanks for that. I'm like justice for Melinda. Justice for [ __ ] Melinda. He is such a big character in the files and everybody else who's a big character in the files really has like quietly just gone escaped.

47:10 Um but if he wants to keep working like he does have to address it but does he does he need to keep working? It's my understanding he sold his company.

47:16 He doesn't need to keep working. He's a billionaire wants to keep working and like he he's like you know he likes being like a a man of the world.

47:25 Yeah. So if he wants to still be like on stages and stuff and talking to people like you have to just address the Epstein elephant in the room and he did his best.

47:33 Axel Dumis would never. No, Axel Dumis would never never. Um so this is So that's that for Bill.

47:41 So thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, our bonus story. And I feel like the details that he gave about his mistresses were really unnecessary. Bridge like Okay, thanks. Our fifth our bonus story is news that we'll be sharing every week because it's very pertinent to our situation and that is a mass singer unmasked.

48:02 Oh yes, please keep me a breast. The mass singer revealed the identity of snow cone.

48:08 I knew this one. Pugaso, but we'll talk about pug. Heidi Montag was unmasked as snow cone last night on the mass singer.

48:16 So this was the first person I knew because I heard her um recording. Okay. And what's so funny is that when I was in LA, I DM'd Spencer because I was booking for your maternity leave and I was like, "Would you come on?" And he was like, "I'm so busy. I'm in Santa Barbara. I can't." And I feel like, well, yeah, he was probably like

48:40 holding down the board. Yeah. While Heidi or he just didn't want to come on, but I think it's the other.

48:45 I feel like he would want to come on. And he's been on many times. Yeah. He was busy holding it down while Heidi was the snow cone.

48:49 I had no idea. You guys could have recorded backstage. Little did we know it could have been so easy

48:54 adjoining trailers. She made it really far. Yes, she did. How many people are there?

48:59 I don't know. A lot. A lot. So, we need to talk about Pugaso because more information has been released.

49:04 More information has been the Paso files have been released. You guys, it seems like Pugaso is Philip Phillips, which is insane. Like, we couldn't be bigger fans of his. We're always talking about him organically.

49:16 I feel so much better, you know, cuz like obviously I have a like a chip on my shoulder. Like, I lost. I think I'm the best singer ever and the first time I compete with someone like I lose. [ __ ] you can't sing right. I was up against the winner of American Idol on a singing competition show. Like are you and Oh, and also like one of the greatest performers of our time like wrote the literally wrote the best song of our generation, Home. I don't feel bad in the slightest. The fact that I almost went and Jenny McCarthy like said to me offline, she was like, I couldn't believe you lost your head on whatever it was called. Battle. Um like I feel great.

49:46 So now can I share my truth? What? Which is that like I really like Picasso. This

49:52 I love the version of of ordinary that he's saying. It reminded me of a lot of the Luke Combmes version.

49:56 Yeah. Well, like I said last week like before we thought it was Philip Phillips and we were like Anthony Ramos, Cord Over Street, whatever. Um I said like I'm like really obsessed with Picasso and you were I hurt you that I was saying that.

50:07 You were like standing my op as the kids say. Stanning your OP. Now can I stand your OP in peace because it's Philip Phillip.

50:15 Yeah. We we know Philip's heart and he's like a good guy. know Philip like offline.

50:19 Yeah. When I tell you there are there isn't another caring, more generous, talented individual.

50:25 We don't know him. But like and you were right that him making that TikTok about us was definitely like a network endorsed

50:31 clue Easter egg. But we spoke about Philip Phillips once before, remember? It's like part of our

50:37 Yeah. Lore. Lore. We spoke about him and like his wife told him. We're always speaking really posit I feel good about like having been in the same room because a lot of times like we say things about people on the podcast and then I'm like near them and I need to die like it's horrible. I have no qualms. I have only said amazing positive things cuz I believe and you know one of the best concerts that I ever went to was John Mayer at the Barlay Center and who opened up for him Philip Phillips on the release of his debut album which at the time I was obsessed with like it couldn't have been a better concert. And don't you think Pugaso starting with a P is like Philip Phillips because he's

51:07 Yeah. Let's also think about the name Pug. Like how is he I guess I don't know a lot about him personally.

51:12 But art and dogs like must be big like symbols of his life. Yeah. But the P I think we got to focus on the P,

51:20 right? But I guess a Queen Corgi Claudia. I never even put that together. Snow Cone. Heidi

51:25 Heidi Montag. And what's the meaning of snow cone? Like where's the clues? Oh, there was there was some stuff in the article. Well, sometimes they just need to give you a [ __ ] costume, you know, and it's like you figure out

51:37 it's not that deep. Yeah. Right. Right. We'll do the clue package. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There. You know what I mean? Like everything.

51:42 We can do everything. Right. Right. Right. Um in Snow Cone in her final appearance alluded to the loss of her home with her husband that she said the Spice Girls took over the world with girl power and left a legacy for generations to come. That's

51:56 because it was Spice Girls night. Oh, and now we can say that I was prepping for Spice Girls night. Little did everyone know I was planning on leaving the show. Um, and they were asking what I wanted to sing. And actually I was kind of freaking out because like while I love the Spice Girls, like their discoraphy is not like singable, you know? It's like

52:14 giving you and then Jackie had the great idea that we should sing Mama cuz like obviously cuz she just had a [ __ ] baby

52:21 literally. And at the time I really did just have a baby. Um, and I was like practicing in my dressing room. It's kind of like a really hard it's like a they don't they're not like sleigh singers, you It's like it was more about like the choreography, the vibe, the hair, the makeup, the glam, and like the girl power of it all. The songs are not like slayable ballads. It's like hard to vocally slay.

52:40 Do you want to give us a preview of what we missed? M I love you. M I care. That's like the only part of the song that I know. Do you know more?

52:55 I love you. Who sings that song? I care. Yeah. Can't remember. Anyways, I'm rooting for Pugaso. Oh,

53:11 I can come out with my truth. Yeah. Um I am too. Now that I know like it was like only right that I lost. Like it's fine. When I thought it was Cordov Street, I'm like really glee.

53:20 Anthony Ramos. Really? Hamilton? Yeah. Right. That I would have been fine with but like it's okay. I'm I I am healed. Well, thank goodness for that.

53:29 We will keep you a breast weekly. Yeah, I love it. It's like my we have a serious stake in this show and I'm so curious. Snow cone like you had said like my Heidi Montag was with Snow like I already

53:39 I knew that I heard her singing at rehearsal. It's for me and she has a very distinct voice and she also has music out and it was like the perfect timing because I remember like at the time that that we all got cast like Heidi Spencer were really having a moment. They got that Hulu show and of course the fires and like everyone was rallying around them. Specifically, her music was researching. So I knew it was her the second I walked into the sound stage and like they don't let you see anyone, but I heard and I was like, "Oh, that's literally my my good friend Heidi."

54:03 Yeah. Um, so I'm excited for to find out one that like we don't have a clue about.

54:07 Yeah. Yeah. Um, so that's your best singer recap. That's your show. Anything else you want to chitchat about before we go?

54:12 No, I feel like that's it. We have a big day today. Like classic stuff, Jackson Claude. We're going to film something exciting.

54:19 Yes, we are. Um, and your vlog is up. My vlog is up. My field trip with Zach. So fun. We went to Palm Beach. We saw some fabulous interiors. We just had a great time. We did a little mukbang.

54:29 We took a selfie. Purveita. Don't you feel like Purvita's taking over the world?

54:33 Yeah. They're the ones in New York are like so popular. Everyone who comes to Florida, they're like that Purita.

54:38 Yeah. It's kind of been like insane for tourism. It's insane. Period. It's so good. Like shout out Purveita. Things you did things you did that

54:46 that's where like quality matters. the like the cream rises cuz you know how many like deli sandwich salad places there are? No one's talking about them on a global level.

54:56 No, no one's living the vita pura. Living the pure vita the pure. Um all right. So that's I guess like our show.

55:08 Yes. It's like so crazy. Such sweet sorrow. It's so crazy when we do an episode under an hour. Like

55:13 we could keep going just for the sake of it. No, not for the sake of cuz like yesterday we accidentally did like an hour and 20 minute episode and it wasn't even Yeah. Right. And so sometimes like we come in under an hour and I feel I feel like I didn't accomplish what I needed to accomplish today.

55:26 So let's keep not just for the sake of it. Yeah. We have to like say interesting things like anecdote that you wanted to share.

55:32 We like look through my camera roll like see what I did yesterday. That's such a good idea.

55:37 I got new maong tiles which I was excited about. We are majing today and we're going to use my new tiles from Bespoke Maang. um

55:43 went to Target as you all know. Oh, Spritz is launching something like kind of major and Ben got the first samples from me yesterday. He says it's going to like seriously change the beverage industry.

55:51 I actually he was like walking around like drinking it. He was like getting drunk in the middle of the day. I said that's not good for your migraine.

55:57 I tried a sample. Did you know that? Um Oh, did you see I spoiled blueberries at Target?

56:02 I did see that you saw. Okay. I feel like it was really upsetting. I put them in my cart and they fell out through the hole of like the children's seat and they all fell on the floor and like I had to pick them all up.

56:11 That's humiliating. And like I got like lightheaded from like being upside down

56:16 and it was just I'm sorry. It was just It threatened to ruin my trip, but it didn't.

56:20 That's good. That's all. So really, I feel like that's all. Thank you so much for listening to the toast.

56:44 the 2026 Do people know that we know him? Oh my god, Jackie, we've told that story 10 times.

56:49 That's like seriously my claim to fame. Yeah. Like we went to middle school with the guy who makes those songs.

56:53 Who's who does whose voice? And with that, the 2026 season comes to an end. He was

56:59 in a sky and it's a sky full of stars. You know, I had my first kiss at his bar mitzvah. Wait,

57:07 like the Lord deep. Wait, wait, we've told how many times that we know Sammy Levit, the guy. But you've never told that story. Where was his bar mitzvah?

57:14 Out of temple. Okay. And I I just that was my first kiss cuz he was the oldest. I guess I was very

57:19 So he was like the first He was the first bar mitzvah because he's a little old for the grade.

57:22 Yeah. You were like kind of [ __ ] So I was very fast. And who was your first kiss?

57:28 Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Nice boy. Yeah. Actually saw him recently. Good times.

57:32 Yeah. And he like was holding his like two week old. Oh yeah, I saw him too. Oh yeah, you were there. Nice family.

57:37 Yeah, nice family. Lovely. Actually, but his brother had a peanut allergy in middle school that like ruined my [ __ ] life.

57:42 You had a peanut allergy, too. Oh, they had Oh, it's obviously like Yeah. Like genetic

57:46 generational. Yeah. Right. Um and like as a picky eater, like you don't understand like the absolute tail spin. Not to like victim blame because obviously having peanut allergies is probably really tough, but like it ruined my life. Like I remember being at home having to like test nut butters that like were permissible and I was like having a breakdown like what do you mean I can't have my peanut butter and jelly? It was like a big thing in our family.

58:06 Did you end with a nut butter? I don't know where I ended up, but like it was in a bad

58:11 That's how we found like Nutella hazelnut. But if it was peanut? Yeah. Maybe that's how we like

58:17 also remember the marshmallow spread? Yes. Yes. We went heavy on marshmallow. We went heavy on marshmallow spread.

58:23 It was just like And that was before like almond butter, sunflower butter. It was a debilitating time.

58:38 Okay. How long is our theme? It's about 28 seconds. Okay. So, why don't you do your goodbye and maybe I'll share a message.

58:46 Yeah. But there's also something at the beginning of the show I do want to cut out. So, like
