  Speaker 2: You're a star.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: I'm not sorry to be honest. Life has felt a
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: lot more normal than I expected because everybody talks about
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: the Bravo fandom. And I know it's early, so like
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: knock on massive amounts of wood, but everybody talks about
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: the Bravo fandom like coming out and just being so vocal,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: And part of it is because, like I am not
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: a I'm not surrounded by drama on the show, so
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not getting like a ton of tweets or common
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: on Instagram that are not from like the people who've
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: already followed me in the past. Yeah, I feel like
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: this week was so fun but not like wild, going
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: onto the Today Show again and stuff like that. I've
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: never been on the Today's Show, but I've been on
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: good Morning America a couple times, and then doing Watch
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: What Happens Live? That stuff was wild so cool. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: told Andy Cohen that, like being on Watch What Happens Live,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: being on that set was one of the most, if
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: not the most surreal talk shows I've ever been on,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: because there's something about the set. You're not like a
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Bravo guy, and like I haven't really followed on any
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: shows either, but yeah, when Andy gets a celebrity in
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: that chair, they like talk about things that they won't
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: talk about on The Today Show and Good Morning America,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: it's always a little bit more sealacious. So those viral
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: clips are will always like you know, they get He
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: gets a lot of viral moments on that set, so
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: that felt very cool. It was a great time. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: loved doing press like No Shame? Do you like jing
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Like when you go out out there, did you get
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: like a little jarlin boost?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, definitely.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Especially the Today Show is wild because it's not fancy.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I mean the set is very nice, right, but like
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the holding room is just like a big square room
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: with like a booth. Yeah, it's like it's not fancy,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and then you're like sitting in there and all of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a sudden, like I've been in there with some wild
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: people like Megan Fox and Jennifer.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Lopez that is truly wid but.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: They get their own room. It's like a hierarchy of like, hey,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: how big a deal are you actually? But it is
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: so fun I get it and you crush it. You're
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: doing great. I'm really proud of you. It's wild watching
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the show. I cannot believe that you've got me to
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: watch in detail.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Not even like no, not even in passing. I feel
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: like you have been sitting down and truly paying attention
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: to the episode. It's based on what Lauren has told me. Yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and it brings me great joy to imagine Ben Higgins's
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: investing himself in an hour in the Real Housewives. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: so funny. And I just want to thank everybody out
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: there that listens to this podcast that watched this week.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: It's so sweet of you. Thanks for the support. You
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: guys have been so nice to me on social media.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Is the show doing well?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: We know it continues well. It's number two on Peacock,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: so I'm not like they I don't know numbers and such.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Number two following I think it was Beverly Hills Real
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Housewives Beverly Hills. But like, also The Office is up
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: there as like the top five on Peacock because like
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: everybody's always streaming The Office, like everybody has thats their
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: comfort show with the background. So it's really kind of
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: hard to tell. And our producer, who knows things more
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: than me, says that Brava doesn't go by numbers, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: to be number two, it's amazing.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: So okayay, yay, you already dive into Bachelor news.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I am, yes, I am. I have some thoughts.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, First off, Ashley, I know we're getting out of
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the holiday season. I'm a little sick right now, so
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: if I send a little stuffy, just bear with me.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I'm doing my best. I was so excited for a nice,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: relaxing Easter weekend, but instead I'm not feeling great. My
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: nose is still broken.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: It won't now you have a cold with your broken nose.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a wild mix right now.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: So how's that feeling? You have some deviated sceptum going on?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I think I do. Yeah, I think I'm a little
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: bit of a mess. There's a lot happening on my
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: upper lobe that is not ideal for me. So I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: spent most of the weekend surviving, I would say more
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: than thriving.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: So sorry, but.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: We celebrated, you know, Easter, and we still got to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: do it. I just I feel bad because Jessica had
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: huge plans for Easter and I just wasn't like I
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: felt like I did it, but I didn't bring anything
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: to it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: If that makes sense.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, did when you have a cute little Easter dress
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: and did you find eggs?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, she uh. I'll tell you this story.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: So we we had a big Easter egg hunt at
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: her little school, and.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: We trained her.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: We had eggs hit around the house and and we
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: we gave her her basket and she would go around
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and find these eggs and she was crushing it. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: in fact, I was like, jess we might want to
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: step back a little bitter. She's going to dominate this
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: egg hunt with her like peers, and so we're so excited.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: It's the cutest thing. We show up to her school
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that all the kids are there, they like march them
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: out in this like long line with the parents and
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: all the kids are like, you know, doing the like
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: little kid walk out to this playground where the kids are.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: It's so cute. I'm like I told Jess, I was like,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I can't be here, I'm gonna ball, like it's so sweet.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And it was the funniest thing. They opened up the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: gate and they had a freaking bubble machine going, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, when he turns looks at the bubbles,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: she and goes bubbles and just stands and watches the
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: bubble for the next fifteen minutes, says the egg hunts
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: The image of you bawling as like the siren goes off,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: like the whistle going like go kids charge and then
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: you just breaking down. So funny, I can see it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just doing the like little like Frankenstein walk,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and then she sees the bubbles. It's like a minion
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: like bubbles bubbles, and she found one egg with the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: assistance of her dad, who was like, fun, come on,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Whenny get in there. Yeah, it was super fun. We
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: had a good time.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Oh so cute. So happy for you guys. Alrighty, so
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: let's dive into some bachelor headlines. First up, Ben, you
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: go for it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Rachel Rekia dresses harsh criticism about her appearance. Actually I
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: saw this headline I haven't dove into it too much
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: because it kind of feels like one of those It's like,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: this is ridiculous, Rachel's beautiful, Why is this a headline?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: But the more more and more I learned this is
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: something like really affecting her in a way, like this
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: is this is a thing. This isn't like a passing comment.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: She feels like people are being really harsh.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Rachel is so beautiful and I love her look
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: right now people have been telling her like She says
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: that every time she gets a post. She said that
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: she's normally pretty okay that people are talking about her online,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: but she said that she feels like recently things have
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: gotten really really bad. She was whenever I post, a
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: majority of the comments are like I don't look like myself,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: or I don't look good, or I look sick. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I was so much more beautiful back then. I understand
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: that I look different from the first time that everybody
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: saw me. I've been very open and transparent about like
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: the filler and botox I've had. I would do anything
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: to be twenty five and look that way again. Another
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: thing is I really wanted to touch on as my
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: weight fluctuation that I've had throughout the years. She said
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: that she got really sick before filming Perfect Match. She
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: even needed a pick line in her arm, which ended
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: up and having her lose weight. She said, because of that,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I got to the smallest way I've ever been. Right
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: after I got that pickline out of my arm, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: went to film the show and I went down. I
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: lost even more weight. And when you go on, ah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Cause you there, though, ye do we know what the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: pickline was for.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: She does not talk about what she had when she
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: was sick, so she goes, when you go and you're
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: on a show, the main thing people are telling you
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: is like how big I was when I was on
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the Bachelorette. So people are like saying like, oh wow,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: like you've lost so much. I am just assuming that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: People were like, you've lost so much weight since the Bachelorette,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and then you see yourself at a different weight and
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: it's hard to let yourself gain weight after that. That
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: sounds like she's had, you know, obviously body image issue
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: since being on TV, and she said, I definitely struggled
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: with my body image since. So yes, I was right,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and it's something that I'm working on. She said, that
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: you see my face right now, slim down. There's so
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: much going on in the reality TV space of women
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and women coming and coming after women and coming after
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: how they look and coming after what they're doing. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: she just said that she's been struggling with this, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I have to say that, like, I just want her
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: to be happy and healthy, and I think that she's
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: always beautiful, Like she's like so beautiful inside. And now
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I love Rachel. I know people would make fun of her,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: like eyebrows, her being lighter, and like for her kind
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: of going for like an Ariana Grande look, but like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I think she looks so good in any way that
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: she puts herself because she's like, seriously that beautiful, Like
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: she just like radiates. So Rachel, you do whatever makes
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: you feel good and makes you, of course be physically healthy.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: And we don't know exactly, you know, what was going
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: on with her health, but we hope that she's over
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: that and we hope that she can get, you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: a better body image. It's so hard to be under
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: all this criticism.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Sure is.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: On to kind of different news. A friend of the show,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: ha Keeen Moulten, is expecting a baby.
• 10:14

• 12:35
  Speaker 3: actually great. I have no clue what people are lying about,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: so hey, actually, I know this is a headline that
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: you and I both are very intrigued by.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we may have talked about it behind the scenes.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: A little bit, a lot of it. Former Bachelor producer
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: reveals juicy details of relationship with Peter Weber in new book.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Is a Bachelor producer that Ben and I. Well, she's
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: not currently, but she was on our time. She's the greatest.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: We love Julie. She's so wonderful and they were really
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: very fun, very very sweet. So there were rumors about
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: her and Peter Weber. You may remember during his season
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: after a season, especially when they were seen out doing
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: all the press together. She was his main producer. So
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: it's not weird to us to have your main producer
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: being seen out with you during press. But there was
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: some Some people are really convinced that there is more
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: than just producing going on here. And in her new book,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: which is called The Love Producer, she talks about this
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: connection that they did truly have. She says, she told
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Entertainment Weekly, she's like already on a press store for
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: this book. It doesn't come out until July. Ben and
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I have read the book we got. Did you get
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: a digital copy? I got? I got a hard copy.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I'm still in like the I love the books still you're.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: A star and I'm not. But I got the digital copy.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: No, she said, she said, what would you prefer? And
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: I much prefer a handheld book.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'll tell you this. It's a good read.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: It's also why says this smiling guys, it's crazy. You
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: got to read it through it You're gonna just be
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: like I stayed. I texted her multiple times, being like
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: you are the reason that I'm up till one am.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I can't.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I have to get through this chapter. This is so good.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: So if you're a Bachelor fan and you're just like
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: a fan of like steaminess and rom commes, like you
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: gotta read this book. The love producer really will be
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: coming on our show in a couple months when the
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: book launches. And all I'll tell you is what Julie
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: did tell Entertainment Weekly. Sorry I missed. I missed this
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: quote before. Peter and I instantly connected. We felt like
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: in a met He felt like an immediate best friend.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: My job is digging into his heart, getting him to
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: be vulnerable, and I was doing the same. There were
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: moments where I was like, Wow, I'm more open with
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Peter than I was with my boyfriend of five years
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: at that point. There's an interesting bond that people don't see,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: the intimacy with the lead producers. And it got complicated
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: and the lines became blurred.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Just to be clear, this doesn't happen with every lead
• 15:26

• 17:06
  Speaker 4: wanting it to happen. If he was like, I'm not

• 19:03
  Speaker 4: said they were saying that, like maybe that would be
• 19:05

• 19:17

  Speaker 3: can possibly have.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Kids, they're great.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: But you're saying to start trying and you need to
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: have one before you could really decide how many you want.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, like, just test the waters a
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: little bit and then decide. I would say, great, I
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: loved it. And but if you told me I'm going
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: to have like five kids, I'd be like that sounds wild.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know, just once four, So you guys better
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: get on it now too. That's the nice thing about
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: marrying somebody younger than you so many years.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I don't feel the stress. Pretty great. Actually, I only
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: got tricked. I guess we were just told. I had
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: no clue I was even tricked. I thought I was
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: really good on April first, but I guess I got tricked.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I thought Katie Thurston was announcing she was going on traders,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: and I thought it was a real thing. It makes sense,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: but supposedly that's a joke.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was an April Fols joke. I also wrote
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: underneath her thing yes yeah, and then immediately, not immediately,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: a few minutes later, I was like, oh, go delete that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: That's embarrassing. That's April Fols.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Wait, how did you know it was April Fools. I
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: just found out ten minutes ago.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I think I saw the comments. Also, I'm always faked
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: out by Becca Martinez. Becca Martinez. I love her Instagram.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: She always does great April Fools. For some reason, she
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: always gets us. She did one she pretended like she
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: had a sponsorship with McDonald's. She goes pinch me hashtag
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: McDonald's partners partner hashtag mcbuns. I've worked with a lot
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: of brands, but nothing has quite hit like this, And
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I love the authenticity going into
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: this ad. I wouldn't feel the same way partnering up
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: with McDonald's. And it's a picture of her kids holding
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: a bunny and then holding McDonald's and then says introducing
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: McDonald's first ever limited edition fried rabbit Sandwich to the mcbuns. Yep,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: you read that right. Crispy, succulent and layered with garlic,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: COOLi on sour dough. It's a bold twist on your
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: favorite Golden Arches classics available through May first while supplies last.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Like everything was totally written like an ad. And at
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: the end she even has like offer valid exclusively and
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: participate any locations. So I don't know if you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: but Becca like raises bunnies and then she eats them. Uh,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: and she's had like this kind It's it's kind of
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: controversial obviously on in her Instagram and she's just so
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: outspoken about it and just like doesn't give it up.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Where Like.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: I really don't know where I stand with this. I
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: don't think I'm a fan, but it's interesting to tell
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: you about this, what she what she does with these bunnies.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: So she has her children like create these relationships with
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: the bunnies and then they they kill them and then
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: they eat them. And like, I feel like you've kind
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: of had that child.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, it's not I mean, I'm like yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and like and you know, you have problems. So
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: people like will argue with her about the appropriateness of this,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: and I want, I would love to know your take
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: on that.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Death is a part of our life.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I think it's so much more admirable to feed yourself
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: and those around you when you've made the kill than
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: going to a grocery store and buying it. There's something
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: this is her argument. Yeah, there's something sacred, there's something sad,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: there's something difficult about taking the life of something else.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: And so I have I'll be I'll say it like this.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I have a lot.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't like go out and kill the
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: food for my family any like at all. I'm I'm
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: not like, I don't know doing that, But there is
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: something very respectful about somebody who is willing to take
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: the life of an animal to feed. I want to
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: be clear to feed those around them. So it's not fun. Yeah,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's uncomfortable and it should be.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It sucks.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Think about being the person that does it. But also, Ashley,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: think about being the person in the warehouse, in the
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: slaughterhouse that's killing thousands of animals every day and packaging
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: it up and sitting in there. So, like somebody's gonna
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: do it, you're either gonna do it in a humane way,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: in a way that cares and loves, or you're gonna
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: do it in a way that's like an assembly line.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: You know, you're so right. You're so right.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And I do think it's helpful for kids to understand
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the food train well, the sadness that comes with death,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Like it's sad.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: You See, if I was a kid, I think I
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: would just become a vegetarian. I think this would be
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: my route and becoming a vegetarian. Anyway, that's all the
