• 1:42
  Speaker 1: with it. The Ozempic craze, the much-anticipated spare memoir by

  Speaker 3: You could tell podcast, come on now. Is there any

• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And we should get right into it, David, right?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I just actually want to ask you before we start
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: our awards, um, for you personally, what was the best
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: part of your year?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Um, Oh, God.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have no.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Feelings and emotions. So, I mean, look, the podcast, business-wise,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: had the best year yet, you know? So let's have
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: another year like I did this year. And, you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I bought an apartment in the city. And, like, look,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: this was a good year, right? Like, things are good.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I have no real complaints this year. And what about you?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, nothing major happened, but I bought an apartment
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: in New York, and I had a great year with
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the podcast.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: That's amazing. Well, to answer your question for me, I mean,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I started my podcast this year. We started the very end.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Of March and we quickly became one of the top
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: podcasts in the country, Canada and Australia.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And, you know, I'm so excited about that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I feel so thankful for all of our listeners who have,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you know, believed in me and my guests. And, you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: so I'm just really, really thankful for that. And I'm
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: really looking forward to the next year to see what
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: else happens.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: And, you know, not to be shady, but my listeners
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: have PTSD every time they hear a dog bark. So
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: we welcome your dog. They are having a little PTSD here,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: my listeners, but we won't get into that. It's always
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: nice to see you, Rachel. Look, I got to be
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a little shady here. Come on. But congratulations and welcome
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to the podcast game. We're thrilled to have you.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you very much. All right.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Well, before one more thing I wanted to ask you about,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: what was your favorite thing? sponsor of the year. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: know that as podcasters, we get to sample a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of different sponsors. Do you have a couple that you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: thought were your most exciting for you?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Well, no one really believes. Like I, right now, Oak Essentials,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I love a good facial product. No one believes how
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: much I love Oak Essentials. And I think, yeah, Oak Essentials.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And for me, listen, I, you open my refrigerator, any
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: of my refrigerators, and I literally have thousands of bubbly.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Before bubbly was a sponsor. This is the, and bubbly
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: became a sponsor. So now I get free bubbly, but
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I really was drinking. Like if you open my refrigerator,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: it's like all the grapefruit right here. It's a very
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: OCD refrigerator. All the, it's every colors right there. So,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and Oak Essentials for the face is the best facial
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: product possible.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. I like that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: For me, I was really impressed with One Skin, which
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I know you had also.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I use it all the time and now I'm buying
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it and I'm buying it for Christmas gifts for people.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with Factor meal service, which I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: thought was great.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: They have amazing shakes. You know, I get a lot
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of meal services. And then for me, I wanted.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: To give a shout out to a friend of mine
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: who owns a company called Miami Gorgeous Beauty. Have you ever,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Miami Gorgeous Tan, have you ever used that tanning?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Lotion.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. I'm going to show you what the bottle looks like.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It's phenomenal. And you basically, she sends you a mitt
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and you can do, I live in Florida now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I don't even go in the sun because I use
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: her tanning stuff. All the celebrities use it. All the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: housewives use it. They always promote it, but it actually works.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And it's amazing. And I've never had like weird streaks.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I literally crave it and live for it. So like
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that to me is the product of the year.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: And now you made me think of one more thing
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: because you said clean and healthy living. AquaTrue water purifier.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Believe it or not, I have a weird phobia of
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: drinking tap water. So AquaTrue, their filter, their osmosis process
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: is bad. Really, it's like the cleanest filtration. I know
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: you think this is crazy, but I'm excited by a
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: water filter. Yes, AquaTrue.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And my code for all my things is understood. What
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is your code if people want to order through you?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Velvet. I tell people, whatever you're thinking you need, don't
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: buy it. Just DM me because I got something for everybody.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Honey love. Okay, go on. We have awards to give out, sweetie.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: We do. All right, let's get right into it. So David,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: drum roll.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: What do you think was the biggest comeback of 2023?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: And let's just say for people listening, this isn't just Bravo.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: This is pop culture, anything. My biggest comeback, I cannot
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: help it. It is Bravo. Here I am saying that. R-H-O-S-L-C,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Salt Lake City Housewives. The first season was great. The
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: second season was good. The third season was one of
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the worst seasons in Housewives history. It was horrible. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: could barely watch it. I didn't watch it. I didn't
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: even want to watch season four. Everyone agrees this season
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is, how could
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you go from horrible to one of the best shows
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: on TV? It is so good. My biggest comeback goes
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, amazing.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: What about you?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I would say it's a comeback for the Bachelor franchise.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty spectacular that they did the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Golden Bachelor.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the Golden Bachelor?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I have not seen it, but I have to tell you,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the ratings were through the fucking roof. It's a huge hit.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a huge hit. I actually watched it. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: watched it with my daughter. And she was like, Mom,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you should be on this. And I'm like, I'm not 65,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Like, come on.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But I thought it was such a great idea to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have someone who's older, who has lost a loved one,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you know, to really see them find love. It really
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: gave people hope. And I thought it was not only adorable.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Everyone was like, oh, it's so cute. It really, I mean,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it was really romantic and loving.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And it was just.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I was rooting for the guy and I didn't I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: don't even watch The Bachelor, you know, so I thought
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: since like, you know, season one or two. So I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: thought it was a comeback for the franchise. I thought
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it was a great idea for them to do that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I hope they continue to do that. And I hope
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it continues to be a success. This holiday season, I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: plan to spend quality time with my friends, my daughter,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: get cozy on the couch, watch a ton of movies,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: drink lots of hot chocolate. One thing I won't be
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: doing is spending time at the grocery store checkout line.

• 10:21
  Speaker 6: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 10:26

• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Dune ADL. There's an accent on the E.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Do you mean.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, I got it on Dundale Cars.
• 10:36

  Speaker 3: Free platter.

  Speaker 1: And I cannot wait to put it out. It makes
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it look like I did it on my own, which
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I kind of did by organizing it, right? But I mean,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the food that came was so fresh and delicious and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it looks amazing. I cannot wait to taste it. I've

  Speaker 1: switching between the brands and now my listeners can enjoy
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: both brands at a discount with me. One other thing
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I want to add is it's really fun to do
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: these with someone because you can actually stand in the kitchen, talk.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: That's where all the kind of communication happens, especially around
• 11:20

  Speaker 3: And I think Golden Bachelorette should be coming next. I

  Speaker 3: think it's right around the corner. I feel it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm going to be 50 in a year,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: so maybe they'll do, you know, I'm on their radar.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Let me submit your name. Now, you do have competition
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: because when she was on this podcast, Luann de la Sepsis,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: she would like to also be thrown into the mix.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: So between the two of you, I'm going to back
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: one of you. Okay, fine.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, number two, biggest downfall of 2023.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I swear I have things on my list that are
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: not Bravo. My biggest downfall is Bravo, Bethany Frankel. I'm sorry.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I'm so... Where is the reality reckoning? I think Bethany
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: is just confused. I don't dislike her. She's still so smart. And, like,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I have such a complicated relationship with Bethany. But I
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: just think she's throwing so, like... Take your $ 120 million,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: which apparently you got from selling Skinny Girl, and go
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: live your life. Why are you even trying? I think
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: she's throwing so much stuff at the wall and none
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of it is making sense. And where is the reality reckoning?
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: We both had Mark Derrigos on our podcast. We love him.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Where is it? Have you heard anything about the reality
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: reckoning lately? I haven't.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I really have not.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I did hear at the end that they signed some
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: deals about, you know, making it a safer environment for
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: people who didn't feel safe. But beyond that, I think
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it flopped. I did have a lot of people on
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: my show that talked about how they wanted to be
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a part of it. And I did have a number
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of people that said they were happy with the position
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: they were in. These are current Bravo people. stars that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: were saying, you know, how, you know, they did not
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: see what this big reckoning was. You know, I had
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Chef on from Southern Charm, who was really happy with
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the place he was in. Kelly Dodd even said that
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: she never saw any of that stuff. If people want
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to drink, they drink on their own accord. If they
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: want to act like an idiot and make bad decisions,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: they can't come back later and blame production for it. So,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you know, as somebody who's been on a reality show,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and has seen it edited after the fact, you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: they can only edit so much.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: You have to give them what you give them, right?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think people should be more
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: responsible for their actions. I think what.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Happened with the scandal situation was different because there was
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of bullying and shaming in situations like that.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: So I think that is a more dangerous.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Situation than what we're talking about, like the everyday person
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: who feels like they can cry wolf after the fact
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: because they acted dumb and got naked on camera.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: My opinion. I agree. Who's your biggest downfall?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, OK, so this is not a Bravo star.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with this woman. Do
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you know who Ruby Frank is? She is the YouTuber,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the mom influencer from eight passengers.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: She was arrested and pled guilty of child abuse, starving
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: her children and physical torture. She was a huge star.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: She had millions of followers, talked about her parenting styles. And,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you know, she was finally arrested and she pled this
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: week guilty.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: And it's a huge story of people.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I saw that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: But for me, that was the biggest downfall because it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: shows you that people that have a platform can be
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: very dangerous and you should not always follow their advice
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: because here exhibit that you have someone who is now
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: going to be in jail for a very long time
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and has lost her kids.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: That's crazy to me.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: So, you know, people in the spotlight are not always
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: good people.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: You have a woman who actually abused her children. I
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: have Bethany Frankel. Our minds are in different places, but
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: very well. And I do know who that is, shockingly.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Number three, the most overrated story or person of 2023.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, I assume we have the same person here,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Ariana Maddox, overrated, everywhere, overhyped. Is that yours too?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is mine too, for sure.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I also had Bethany Frankel. You know, why do we
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: think that we care about every thought that comes into
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: her head? I don't know. You know, literally every post
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: is something that she wants us to care about. Now, listen,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of people do care.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: They are influenced by her, but there are a lot
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of people that have their own opinion, like me, that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: think we don't need to hear about every single thought or,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you know, angry feeling she has. But the Arianamatic thing,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you know, to me, that was so overdone. And the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: fact that she, you know, went through something as a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: victim and And then got what? Movie deals, TV deals,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: She's headed to Broadway to play Roxy Hart in Chicago now.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I just I don't get it. I'm not sure why
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I get that at all. And I think it's actually ridiculous. So,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you know, the fact that Raquel, Rachel, whatever her name is,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: didn't come back.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Because she felt so shamed about what she did why
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: why are we shaming this girl if they're on reality
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: tv this is part of what happens it's like and
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: i get it i've been in that situation right um
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: but like this is crazy to me that this girl
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: feels like she has no friends and she's the villain
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: um and everyone else gets to live a great life
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: and get paid for it i just think that's absolutely
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: wrong i do.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I'm a little Ariana, like I'm a little Ariana Dow.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I wish her great success. She's had great success.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: A good friend of mine, Lala Kent said, plenty of
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: us get cheated on and don't become God. I'm going
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: to stand for that one. It's a little overexposed for me.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Lala Kent said no now about her?
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Well, on the trailer for next season, Lala has this quote,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: you know, plenty of people get cheated on until become God.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Lala's now backtracked and said that was edited out of context.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I don't really know how it could be edited out
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: of context, but I'm going to go with Lala on
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: this one.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just I can actually see how these girls
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: are going to start to get jealous of the fame.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: that Ariana is getting from this.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: At first, I think they all were excited to be
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: on that bandwagon with her. But now that they see she's,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know, her trajectory is completely different than theirs, I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: think they're going to be not supporting it as much.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I agree. What else you got for me?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Number four, couple of the year.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Couple of the year. Believe it or not, this is
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: not Bravo. My couple of the year is hands down
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: one of the king of the twinks, Mr. Timothy Chalamet
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and Miss Kylie Jenner. I am so here for this.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I think he is so hot. I think she is
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: so hot. I mean, this just shouldn't work. It makes
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: no sense. At first, you're like, this is such a
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: great publicity thing. It's great for him, you know, with
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: like a Kardashian. He's a real actor. He's like everywhere
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: now because of Willy Wonka. It's great for her. It
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: looks good for both of them. I think this is real.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you've convinced me it's been going on this long.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Kylie and Timothee Chalamet.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: What's their age difference?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're right around the same age.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: You think he's younger than her?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I think she's... We forget because of all the work
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: she's had done. She's very young. So I'm curious if
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he's in his 30s or if he's still in his 20s.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: To me, he's been around so long, I feel like
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: he's a little bit older. But no, I mean, I
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: don't think it's not real. I think it's a real romance. I... No,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm here for it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I... Quite frankly, I think it brings credibility
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to her. You know, he's he's somebody that we see
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: as like a credible actor. He's been on a lot
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: of things and he happens to have a hit movie
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: out right now in Willy Wonka. So I think that's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: pretty cool that, you know, it's not just a reality
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: star or an actor or a musician that we normally
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: see these people with our basketball player. You know, he's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: like a real, real actor. You know, like she's not
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: into the list.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like A-list. He's the real deal. I mean,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: she snuck into the premiere, you know, snuck just went incognito.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Chris was Jenner was there with her. They snuck out
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: to not distract from him, you know, because we know
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: a Kardashian distracts from everything. And I'm just so here
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: for this. Yeah, I'm here for it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. OK, I have three.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: for it?
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: This exclusive place that Donna's connections with. they have more
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: cars for more dealerships than, like, anywhere else.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: It's Dunediel.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Dunediel.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: There's an accent on the E.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: Do you mean.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, I got it on Dunediel Cars.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Lift?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: You going past Kimmage?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kimmage. No.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Dunediel Cars.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, this is an answer that I think
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: people should think. Barbie and Ken. I mean, that was
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the couple of the year for people that really got
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: into that movie. They've made, you know, like these vintage
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: books about Barbie.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And Ken now. I mean, the whole Barbie and Ken
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: thing has come back.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: It was a movement.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a movement.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: The pink movement, you know, is still going. Obviously, we
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: just have to mention it, Travis and Taylor. I mean,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: how many times did you watch her run off the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: stage and run into his arms and kiss him?
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Just once.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: You did?
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Just once for me, yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I watched probably 25 times. And everybody I know
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: watched it over and over again. And we, you know,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: as a nation, probably.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: As a world, I think are so invested in their relationship.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: And are really rooting for him. My daughter walks around.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in a Kelsey jersey, and we watch football now. Instead
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: of Roblox, she plays football games on her thing, and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: she's 11. I think that's really amazing, the impact that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: this relationship has had, and I really hope that in
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: 2024 that they do not break up because I really
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: hope this is it for her.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: They seem both equally successful.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: They have their own personalities of why people love them,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and we're rooting for both of them, so I think
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: that they are the couple of the year. Another one
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I think is really interesting is Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: because they are best friends with Taylor and they've been
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: seen a lot lately, but I think people really love
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: them because they're both so attractive and whatever, but they
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: really have stood out as people that like are supportive.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Um, you know, they're just couple goals every single year.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: They're adorable. They're good parents.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Um, and what I don't think people realize is that
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Taylor has been so close with them for many years
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that some, one of her songs is named after, or
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: has all three of their kids in the song. So
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's called Betty and that's the name of
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: one of her kids.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: So I didn't realize this until I got, I went
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: down in the rabbit hole of the whole thing. But anyways,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I think they're a couple.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: And they're billionaires now with the sale of Mint Mobile.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: And by the way, my Bravo, if I was going
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: to name a Bravo couple of their underdogs, Danielle Oliveira
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: and Southern Hospitalities, Joe Bradley, new couple alert, but my
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: money's on them for 2024 under the radar, but wishing
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: them well.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. Most dysfunctional relationship of the year.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I think this is obvious.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, is there, do I have to even say
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: the words? The trash, the pure trash that is Kim
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: and Croy. Trash. I'm sorry.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: It's terrible.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Like, trash.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, at some point it's like people are
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: upset for you because you broke up, but then the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: way they behave.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: No one cares anymore. No one cares.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: No one wishes the best for either one. No one
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: blames one over the other because they both have just
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: seemed so terrible about this whole thing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: They're poor kids.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Um, And we don't know anymore if things are for
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: reality TV because they're so poor and they're trying to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: get a show or if they really are just toxic,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: disgusting people. So I really think they're dysfunctional and they
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: should not be watched.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Like no one should care what they're doing. Wasn't she
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: just on some show recently?
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: She just filmed The Surreal Life, which is not out yet,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: where the rumors were that she was going after Tom
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Hanks' son, Chet Hanks. Listen, I understand 9-1-1 has to
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: come if you call 9-1-1. But, like, at what point
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: do you care? Like, they call 9-1-1 every... How many
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: times have you called 9-1-1 in your life? Like, I
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: think maybe never for me. Maybe by mistake once. I mean,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: they call 9-1-1 every other time. day you can call
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: 9-1-1 by mistake you're looking at me like I'm crazy
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: um you're just like you're like oh shit how did
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I dial 9-1-1 you know like you sit on your
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: phone like a butt dial you're like oh my god
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: but yeah they call 9-1-1 ever the children call 9-1-1
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: it's like I don't think there's I don't think I've
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: ever seen a more dysfunctional couple in my life possibly.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Right okay another another couple I think um should be
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: up for the nomination would be Will Smith and Jada
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Pinkett I mean, how many times is she going to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: emasculate this poor guy?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: And how many times is he going to take it?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: So I just, you know, I'm done watching them as well.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I don't even understand them at all, really, what's going
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: on now. I mean, we had the slap and it
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: was like, OK, you're sticking up for the love of
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: your life and they're together forever. And then all this
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: comes out. She has to sell a book. And apparently
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: it's all a sham, which people said for a minute.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: But it's yeah, I'm like, there's so many claims that
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: she has that I just am so confused by everything
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: coming out of Jada's mouth. Yeah.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, so we're going to move on from that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: All right. I like this one.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Most inspiring person of 2023.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: For me, another non-problem. So proud of myself. For me,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: it is Shannon Doherty. Listen, I don't listen to podcasts.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Hers is the only one I'm listening to. I mean,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: besides yours and mine, of course. She has a new podcast,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty. Look, I mean, she
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: has stage four breast cancer, which then spread to her brain,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: which is now in the bones. she went to so
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: many fan conventions this year. Now, okay, if you're a
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Shannon Doherty and you go to these fan conventions, you
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: do leave with a huge chunk of change in your pocket.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: But I really feel that she is, I mean, she's
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: doing that for the fans and getting paid a ton
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: at the same time, but she's changing the face of cancer.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: You know, she's really like, You don't I'm not sick
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: at the moment. I mean, just because I have this,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I feel great today. I feel great yesterday. I feel
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: great tomorrow. So she's living her life and working and
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: just kind of, you know, it's all authentic at this point.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: There's nothing for a soundbiter to get in the press.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Mind you, her podcast is in the press every other
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: hour on the hour because she's. Yeah, because she's speaking
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: the truth about so many things. Like, I mean, things
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: that I guess I thought we all knew, like Alyssa
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Milano got her fired from Charmed. I thought we all
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: knew that, but apparently not. It was a huge story
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: this week. So, I mean, there's no soundbite. There's no, like,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: let's get back at Alyssa. You're telling the truth because
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: why not at this point?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's really a great way to have
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: her final say, right? Her story come out and she
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: can do it in a way where she feels like
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: people can listen. They cannot listen. She doesn't have to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: spend years writing a book, but she can just talk.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, does she have guests or she's just kind
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of saying her thoughts.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: On her podcast?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: No, she has guests. Her second guest was Holly Marie
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Combs from Charmed, who then said, I will tell you
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: that I was called in and they told me that
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Alyssa Milano was going to sue for a hostile work
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: environment and said it's either her or me. And they
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: were backed into a corner and they had to fire Shannon,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: which probably would never fly today in 2023, but.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Soon to be 2024. But so, yeah, I mean, but
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I just think like the fact that she is, you know, look,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of people with this type of diagnosis would
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: sit home and just say, I'm counting my final days.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: And she's inspiring.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: He's an absolute, absolute inspiration for people who think their
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: life is over when they are diagnosed with cancer. She
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: is forging on telling her story, making sure that her
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: words get out there.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Um, and you know, living like, uh.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: You're living every day for today, which by the way,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: we all should, cause we're all going to die at
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: some point.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: And I say that all the time. Yeah.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: But we don't know if we have two years, five years,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: just cause we weren't diagnosed with something. You know, it's a,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it's a really good lesson in that you should live, um,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: every day to its fullest. I know that's like very cliche,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: but it is true. We can't, we can't just assume
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: we're going to live till we're.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: 85, 90 years old. I say that all the time.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. So I agree.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: For me, my most inspiring person of the year is
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Maya Kowalski. You know, I talk about this story.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: All the time with you on my show with everyone,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: but she is the girl that at 10 years old
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: was taken to the hospital by her parents.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: She had been diagnosed with a disease that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Needed treatment with ketamine and And when they went to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the hospital a year later, after she relapsed, the hospital
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: did not believe her parents called in child protective services.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: They took over for three months. She wasn't allowed to
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: see her mother and her mother ultimately killed herself. And
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: they have spent the last few years trying to get
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: in front of a judge and a jury, you know,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: trying to get a trial going to to sue John Hopkins.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And I think last month, Now, she won. She won
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: her case. Her story was heard. People finally believed her.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: She won $ 220 million, I think another $ 60 million in.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Some sort of award.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And she's suing again for something else unrelated, but for
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: things that happened when she was in the hospital. So
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be having her on as a guest
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: in the new year with her lawyer.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I am just obsessed with that story.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It's such a true story about somebody's experience and how
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: they felt like they did not have a voice all
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: these years and they were not believed. And I thought
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: it was just so unbelievable. There's a Netflix documentary called
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Take Care of Maya. Everyone should see it. But it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: so hard to watch because it's so upsetting and it
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: just sheds light to, you know.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: for it?
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: This exclusive place that Donna's connections with. they've more cars
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: What's it called? It's Dunaidial.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Where?
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Dunaidial.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: There's an accent on the E.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Do you mean.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, I got it on Dundale Cars.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Lift? Please.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: You going past Kimmage?
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, Kimmage.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: No.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: Dundale Cars. You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It happens in hospitals and how much power they have
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: to to make decisions that may or may not be
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: good for you.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: So I mean, that's what they thought that like the
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: mother was abusing her. That's what it was.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: They thought the mother had Munchausen's by proxy and was
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: claiming her daughter was sick to make herself look better.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Um, but honestly, David, you have to see this, this, uh, documentary. Yeah.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: And then the mother killed herself. What? Cause they wouldn't
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: let her see the child.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. For three months to let her see the child
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: in the fight. The day she killed herself, there was
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: a tribe.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: There was a, they got in front of the judge and,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: The judge is like, no, I'm going to keep this going.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: And the lawyer said, well, can can Miss Kowalski just
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: give her daughter a hug?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: And the judge said no.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: And that evening she went home and she hung herself
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: in the garage.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a terrible story. So, yeah. So I
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: feel so happy.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, of course, it doesn't bring her mother back,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: but I'm so happy for the family, for the for
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the father. Um, for Maya, for her brother, they've been
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: through so much and, um, you know, they deserve the best.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: So that to me is my, the most inspiring person
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of the year.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Number seven, breakout star this year.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Who was your favorite person that kind of came out
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: of nowhere?
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know about my favorite person. I
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: don't even know if I really care about this person,
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: but to me, the breakout star that is everywhere. It
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: proves your point. You basically gave this one away for
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: me earlier, and I'm not kind of making a joke,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: but not really. As a self-respecting gay man, Travis Kelsey,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: lots of us have never heard his name in our
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: entire life before. I don't know a Travis Kelsey from
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Lamar Odom. You know, if Lamar wasn't on, I don't
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: know any sports people. I never heard of the guy before. Chiefs, this, that.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't care. Certainly know him now.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey is my breakout star of the year. To
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: your point, your daughter is wearing his freaking shirt.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Him. It's funny.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Like, a lot of people say that he was nobody
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and Taylor made him.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that's the case. He was, you know,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl last year. Everybody knew him. He
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: had a reality show. Yeah. made about him and dating.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: So he's obviously been on the map, just not on
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: our map, not on our radar.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: He was on watch what happens with Ramona. Yeah.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Crazy.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: So he's been a star in someone's orbit before ours,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: but I agree.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I did not know who he was, but I think
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: he's a great guy. I love his humor. I think
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: he's adorable and I really want him to succeed. So
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Um, Okay, for me, I had a couple. I can't decide,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: but I'll pick two. This guy, I think, has been
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: around a little bit, but I think this year he
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: really broke out of his shell. Bowen Yang from Saturday
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Night Live. His George Santos impression killed it. I think
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: that he's one of the best on Saturday Night Live
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: right now, and I'm really happy to see that. I
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: remember I watched the first night he was on, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I was nervous for him.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You could tell how nervous he was. And now I
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: think he's great. Do you know who he is?
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Fire Island. He had the whole movie, Fire Island.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: He had a great year, yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's great.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And then an ode to you, because, you know, I
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: don't do a lot of reality TV stars, but I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: think the new housewife of New York, Bryn Whitfield, became
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: a breakout star. Obviously, we did not know who she was.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: And now people love her, love her, hate her, whatever
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: it is. She is on people's radar. So I thought
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: she was an interesting breakout star.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: And people, the shoes, her shoes, the Louboutins, they got
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: stuck in the elevator at BravoCon. They went, I mean,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: she has a moment at BravoCon that people will be
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: talking about for years. So she certainly knows how to
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: get attention that burn with you.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you, I saw a dress on
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: her from some sort of random clip and I stalked
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the internet trying to find the dress that she was wearing.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And I actually tracked it down and bought it. It
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: just came to my house. So again, I don't actually.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Watch the housewives of New York, but I definitely know
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: who she is. And I, I she's in my mind
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: a little bit. So good, good job. All right. One
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: to watch in 2023. headed to 2024.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: But like, who's the person that you think is on
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the radar right now that's going to break out in 2024?
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: This is literally no, it's a breakout. So nobody is
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: going to know what I'm talking about, I don't think.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: But do you know the Betchef It's such a, it's
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: the Betch Chef. The Instagram handle is, it's QCP, and
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: this guy's name is Gianluca Conte. You have to watch it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: He wears this apron that says Betch, and he's also
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: really hot, so you see the whole body. But he
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: has like 2 million followers on Instagram, and he does
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: like a thing, and he's like Betch, and he cooks,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: and he just, look it up right now. If anyone
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: knows what I'm talking about, I've been obsessed with this. Like,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: it's not just because he's hot. It's really, he cooks.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: He's like, today we're going to make pasta. And it's just,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: the videos are so great. And they're so interesting. And
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, literally, he has like 2 million followers. And
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: it's becoming, it's like, it is, it's way more of
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: a thing now than it was like 12 months ago.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: I think he's the one to watch. Look up the Instagram.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: It's QCP. I'm going to look it up.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like I'm like no one's going to
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about. But like it's it's yeah,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: the Instagram is it's QCP has two point two million followers.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: He has sponsorships and he it's not just like he's
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: like today we're going to make a sob. And it's
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: not just all Italian, but they're really it's cooking. It's
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: like he's he's a cooking influencer. He just did an
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: ad for Ramsey. And it's really interesting. He's also part
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: of next models. He has a side gig. That's the
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: one I'm putting my money on. Okay.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: For me, one to watch in 2024 who came into
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: my radar in 2023. Well, I have one that I
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: really like. We both, I think, had her on our show.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Meredith Lynch. She's an Instagram influencer. She always has something
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: to say. A couple people have sent her cease and desist.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Bethany Frankel. I think Rachel Zoe. And she always is like...
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: one foot ahead of the story. I really like her.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I think she's interesting. I think her takes on things
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: are interesting. What are your thoughts on her?
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Listen, I loved her. I had great chemistry with her.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: And you know how that is. Just because someone's whatever,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: you can't tell how the chemistry is. Great chemistry when
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: she came on my show. Listen, she puts in the work.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? These deep dives she does,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: it's no joke. Her T's are crossed and her I's
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: are dotted. I'm like, man, that takes dedication. So I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: a huge Meredith fan. I love her. Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: You guys can check her out on both of our
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: podcasts to hear what she talks about. For me, I
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: think it's a little different than what she talks about
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: with you. We talk about our stories of grief. She,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: you know, she lost her mother. We talk about her
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: life and how she got to where she is. And
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: then we do get into some of the deep dives.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I think on your show, you guys get more into
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the pop culture, deep dive stuff.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Bethany, the Zoe. And we did some recapping of Jersey
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: and Beverly Hills. You know, anyone that wants to recap
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: can come on my podcast any day.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Go on.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And then another person heading into 2024, Renee Rapp.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Do you know this name? No.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't think you would, but she starred on Broadway
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: in Mean Girls in the musical. She's the breakout star
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: from Sex Lives of College Girls, and she released her
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: album and now stars in Mean Girls the movie as
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Regina George. So I know some casting directors who think
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: she is going to be a huge star.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: She already is, but, like, In mainstream news, I think
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: we are going to know her name in 2024. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: remember that name, Renee Rapp.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: We'll revisit this next year, and you'll tell me if
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: you have now heard of her and you know.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Who I'm talking about. Let me file that away. Yes.
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Most shocking pop culture event of 2023.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: I have two. I have a Bravo and a non-Bravo.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: My Bravo is, you know, the Roni reboot. I keep
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: going back to this. Like, it is in retrospect, what's
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: the big deal? But we rebooted a whole franchise. We
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: fired everyone and started over. It's like, that's a big deal.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Remember when that was announced, that everybody was being fired
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: and we were starting over? The Roni reboot, to me,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: is a big— it' s shocking.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. What was your second one?
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: And then just non-Bravo related, to announce the 32nd from
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Mars tour, Jared Leto, who is still fucking hot as
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: hell in his 50s, climbs the Empire State Building. What
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: the fuck? Do you realize this? Jared Leto climbed the
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Empire State Building. Like, for real.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what you're talking about. I'm going to.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Have to look this up. 30 seconds from Mars was
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: going on tour. And to announce the tour, I don't
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: know how. I mean, you're Jared Leto. Yeah, you have
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: a team and you get permission. And he literally, he
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: himself climbed the Empire State Building. I would never want
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: to do this, but he did it. So there you go.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: That's kind of shocking. First person ever, apparently.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. OK. I had three.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Obviously, Matthew Perry dying. I think that was a huge
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: shock for a lot of people. Rihanna announcing her pregnancy.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: during the Super Bowl halftime show. Not really announcing, but showing.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I think that was like in the press within.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: for it?
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: It's Dune ADL.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Dunediel.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: There's an accent on the E.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Do you mean.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, I got it on Dunediel Cars.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Lift, please.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: You going past Kimmage?
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kimmage. No.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Dunediel Cars.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: And it's, I remember myself watching and being like, what's happening?
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was a pretty big deal. And
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: then I added Amy Roebuck and TJ Holmes, their morning
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: TV affair and how they got fired. I thought that
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that was pretty interesting. And now I believe I've heard
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: that they're starting a podcast. So they're still going strong.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: And did you hear? Their exes dating each other, which
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I don't really know if that's true. Maybe there was
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: a picture of them shot together. I haven't seen that,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: but yeah. I'm not convinced that that's a real piece
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: of gossip, but we will see, I guess, in 2024.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Little Andrew Shue from Melrose Place. I don't know about
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: that one. It makes no sense, but yes, that's what
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: they say.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Biggest letdown of 2023. Great.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: The biggest letdown for me is maybe if you take
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Jersey out of it, maybe if you take Beverly Hills
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: out of it, all the housewife franchises, it's not what
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: it used to be. I'm let down by pretty much
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: every franchise of housewives. I feel we've got to get,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. Listen, things run its course, right?
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: You want to see some new casting. You want to
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: see some new storylines. What is it that you feel
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: like is missing?
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, that— look, maybe we're just in a different phase
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: of life, like Survivor's been on for how many years? Bachelor,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Housewives is like in its 18th, 17th season from RHOC,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: from when it started. That's like 20 years. Maybe there's nothing.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, I want to just feel excitement or— You know,
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, we had moments with Kathy and Aspen and
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Lisa Rinna, but right now today, housewives, the whole thing
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: for me is a letdown and that there are great seasons.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I think Salt Lake is having the best season, but overall,
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: it's not what it used to be. And I'm not
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: sure if we can get that back on track, but
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: I would like to. What about you?
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: For me, I would say everybody getting on board to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: have Britney's conservatorship end, and then she started to spiral
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: after that. I think that that was a big letdown.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I think we all thought that we were going to
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: see this free Britney new person. that is able to
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: talk for herself and be normal. And then it was
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the complete opposite. She was exactly like she had been before,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: but got even crazier.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I still don't understand. And I'm not even
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: saying this to be funny. With all that money and
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: the fact that you're on your Instagram so much, why
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: can't she invest in a good set of hair extensions?
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: And why has a.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Hair extension company not come to her and said, let
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: us help you? Same thing with her eye makeup, you know,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: her sensible shoes. Like, there are so many ways. She's
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: always in a bathing suit or underwear. Let's get her
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: some brand deals. And then the whole thing with the knives. Like,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: why was a Cutco knife deal not made? Like, I
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: just feel like she's missing opportunities left and right. She's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: not this hustling girl that, you know, we all want
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: her to be. I'd love to see her back performing.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: I've seen her perform in Vegas. You know, her music.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I still listen to her music in my car when
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I'm driving and I sing along. I mean, I love Britney.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: So I want the best for her.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: But I think we all were let down because we
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: saw there is some mental health issues going on.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: And then in the Bravo sphere, I would say another
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: letdown was what was it called?
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Shitty Creek. What was the thing with Luann and Sonia?
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Crappy Lake.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Crappy Lake.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Welcome to Crappy Lake.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Did you watch it? I didn't even know what came out.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: It came out. It's coming. It's gone. You know what's
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: really good, actually, is Real Housewives Girls Trip New York version.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: It's shockingly fun. Okay.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't know. Was it good? Did
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: you like it? Shitty Creek? Whatever.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, Luann is my girl, so I always hesitate
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: when I....
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: I want her to succeed. I thought that, you know,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: if you and I did it, I think we'd have
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun, but you.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Know, maybe the second season could be you and me. Yeah,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: that's right.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Okay. Favorite TV show of 2023.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Selling sunset. Sorry.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that one. I do like that.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: So good. I, for everyone who hangs on every word
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I say with Bravo, forget it. Go and watch selling sunset.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: There you go. Start at season one, watch it all.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, have you seen Jury Duty?
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: It's funny. I know somebody who was actually in it,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: who's been on my podcast, Trisha LaFont. She's a lawyer.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I had her on, I think, to cover Jen Shah's
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: stuff way back. I've not seen it, but I've heard
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: it is literally phenomenal.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, for those of you that need something to watch
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: this break, you should definitely.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: stream jury.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Duty it's so good it's about a guy a regular
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: guy who's called into jury duty he doesn't realize that
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: it's completely fake it's reality tv everyone is an actor
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: and um you know it's what happens when things start
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: to break down it's really good so i thought that
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: was terrific i'm also a huge love is blind fan
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: i had a couple people from the show on i've
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: always been a fan i'm.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: I want to be on the show. I want them
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: to have a show with, again, a little bit older
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: of a crowd, people who have kids, people who are
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: single that want a second chance at love. I think
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: it's great. I believe in the concept of meeting somebody
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: behind a door. So I like it. What do you say?
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, this is how things are greenlit in Hollywood.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: You know how the biz works. Now that, to your point,
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: The Golden Bachelor is such a success, we might have
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Love is Blind and all these other love shows might
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: start skewing older, having a golden version.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it needs to be
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: a golden version for something like that. But, you know,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: for someone who's been divorced, they could be in their
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: late 30s, 40s, 50s. That's the time when you're ending
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: your first relationship. You get a lot of people getting
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: divorced in their late 30s, early 40s.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: And then they're trying for something new. They dated for
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: a while. They haven't found anything.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: They have quote unquote baggage because they, you know, are
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: hung up on old relationships or they have kids or,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever their baggage is that other people see
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: that as. And they just have not been able to
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: find the right one. They're a different person than they
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: were when they were 20, when it was kind of carefree.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Now your life is about paying bills and, you know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: dealing with the mortgage and dealing with, you know, your
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: home homeowner stuff and, dealing with kids' school, and it's
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: less sexy.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Than it is when you're in your 20s.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: So I would love something like that because I think
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: it would be perfect for me because I have a
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: hard time finding a guy in a normal way.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: So would you do it if they had a gay version?
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why not? I mean, I'm a little wary of
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: meeting someone without seeing them, but sure, let's go for it.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Why not? Right.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, last couple questions here.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Who is your best guest of 2023 that we should
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: all listen, go back and listen to that podcast episode?
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, probably my second biggest hit of the
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: year was your and my friend, Bo Dietl. That's probably
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: my second biggest hit. thing of the whole year. But
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: my number one real breakout moment, I don't know if
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: breakout moment is the right word when you're in your
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: fourth year, but one of my favorite guests and probably
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest moments was Juicy Joe Giudice. We
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: love Joe Giudice, Teresa's ex. He's such a gentle bear.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: He's so sweet. And he's a hard guest to get.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: And he, look, I mean, the man went through, he
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: was in ice before being deported. Like, this is like,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: you talk about real life stuff. I love Juicy Joe.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: He's my best favorite guest of the year.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Okay. So my favorite guest, I mean, I have a ton.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: I have so many. I'm guest driven. So I have
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: a guest twice a week with a different story about
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: a different topic that, I will say for your listeners,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: the biggest guest who I love, I'm still friends with,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I talk to him a couple times a week, is
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Mike Shuhat from the Shaws of Sunset. Now, people love
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: to hate on this guy, but that's the perfect opportunity
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: for him to come on my show and talk about
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: why he's misunderstood. He tells a lot of bombs. He
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: talks about bombshell stories. He talks about his arrest, the
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: domestic violence accusations. He talks about why the show was canceled. Um,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: he talks about his time on the show, how he
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: got on the show. It was one of my best episodes.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: It's he's very good. And just so you guys know,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: he's starting a podcast. It's going to, um, drop in
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: January of 2024, I guess I'm going to be a
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: guest on a show eventually in the first couple, um, episodes,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: I think, but I really like him as a person.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I know some people have a hard time with him,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: but when you get to know him, I think that
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you will really like him. So Anyway, that was one
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: of the guests that I thought you would appreciate. The
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: second one I want to talk about is my guest.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: His name is Jay Godfrey. He owns a place called
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: New Shama.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: The reason I'm bringing that up, it was, again, one
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: of my top episodes, but it's about ketamine as a
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: treatment for depression and PTSD. And why that's important now
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: is because they're saying that part of the cause of
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: death for Matthew Perry was because he used ketamine and
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: ended up drowning. So I'm going to actually do a
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: repeat of my episode with Jay Godfrey on January 1st
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: because it was such a good episode.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: It breaks down what ketamine is, what happens... when you
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: abuse it, what.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Happens when you use it in a positive way. Um,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: and he has a treatment clinic in New York where
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: you can go sit in and for, you know, an hour,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: get this ketamine treatment and change your life kind of,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: and then leave. So we break all that down. I
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: ask all the questions I know you want to ask
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: about it. And, you know, I just think it's such
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: a good episode. So I hope people listen to it
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: and they can go back and listen to it in
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: the past or they can listen to, you know, it'll
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: be on the top of my list for January 1st.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: No one loves a good repeat more than me. I
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: love issuing my repeats. There's so much lost on the
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: back feed. When you get to like thousands of episodes,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: you got to issue those repeats. I'm all about it.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: It's so true.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: So people shouldn't look at, at repeats. That's something like, Oh,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: we don't want to put out new content.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Not at all. We just love our content so much.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: We want people.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: They're lost. Yeah.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: That weren't listeners back then to hear what we were
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: doing because, you know, some of those episodes, like I
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: did one of my first two episodes or three episodes with,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: was with Perez Hilton and, Some of the stuff that
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: comes out of his mouth is so interesting, you know,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: because he got canceled for a while there. And he
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: really talks about taking ownership of that.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: There are so many good things that I love in there.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: So is there a guest that you want in 2024?
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, this question is so hard because it's like,
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: are we living in reality or are we just living
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: in like anything is possible? Because if we're living in
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: anything is possible, Madonna. That's who I would like.
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: In reality, who do you want in 2024?
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Isn't that a good question? You know, probably I'd go
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: to Beverly Hills Housewives, maybe like Erika Jayne. a Kyle
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: Jane probably.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: But I think I would take Erica probably out of
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: all of them. I've had Sutton.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, have you ever had Sutton?
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: I like her. I've had Sutton. Like a lot of
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: times I've had crystal Erica, just cause like, I feel
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Erica really is in this type of setting.
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: Honest.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: If you can believe that I'll probably get hate for
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: saying that, but I feel like Erica would be like
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: a real honest interview. Okay.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: But Madonna, really.
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: For me, I would like Conrad Murray. He is the
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: doctor who was held responsible for killing Michael Jackson.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: He has come out and said over the years that
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: it was not his fault that he left the room
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: to take a call from his girlfriend. And Michael, who
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: had not fallen asleep from the propofol, upped the amount.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: And he didn't know because he wasn't in the room.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: But there are so many questions to ask this guy.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Listen, I... I grew up on Michael Jackson. I love
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Michael Jackson. I want to know what happened to him.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: And I'd love to talk to the guy who was
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: in the room with him when he died or was present.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: You know, so to me, that's a huge guest.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I believe my team has reached out to him before,
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: like two years ago. And I believe if you have 50,000
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: that you can wire him, he will be your guest tomorrow.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: That is true. Actually, myself did talk to him last year.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Started my podcast, he and his people. And they said
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: that he would do it for 50,000. You are correct.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I don't pay my guests. I don't know if you do.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think you do.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: We don't need to people that want to come on
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: and tell their story or promote whatever business they're promoting
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: or show want to come on and talk. And when
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: you pay someone, it takes the conversation a little bit.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: So I, I do not believe in doing that.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: Me either.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. All right. Last question. What
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: do you want to see happen in pop culture in 2024?
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: I would like Cher to.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Go on tour.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Ooh, that's a good one.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: She has the new Christmas album. She just did so
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: much press. I mean, this woman, you would think she
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: was 20. She literally was in every country plugging this
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Christmas album. Number one Christmas album. She's now the only
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: person that has had a number one song in seven decades.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: I just feel Cher wants to be back out there
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: and do another residency in Vegas forever. Like I want,
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: this is like, this was like a little catnip for me.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: I want some share in my life for 2024. And
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: I hope Housewives gets better. What do you hope?
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe they'll announce a new show for the Housewives, you know,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: like a new area. I'm in Palm Beach. You're in
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: the Hamptons.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: Should we do a Palm Beach Hamptons Housewives? Yeah.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think that they're ready for like a
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: new place.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Franchise.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: You know, I think that I'd like to see some
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: exciting marriage announcement, you know, proposal like.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Jewel is now dating. What's his name?
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: No, from Yellowstone. And I'll think of his name in
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: a second, but he.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I said Tom Brady. No.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Who's the guy from. Oh, my God. You guys listeners
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: know who I'm talking about.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I don't watch Yellowstone.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Well, do you watch, you know, he just broke up
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: with his wife and it was, you know, she wanted
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: $ 200 million.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Kevin Costner.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, thank you. Oh, my God.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: See, I knew it was one of the major bachelors
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: that just got, I see I was close with Tom Brady,
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: but yes. Yeah.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: That would be fun to have like some big wedding
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: or Travis and Taylor. I would love to see that
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: proposal happen. So maybe a proposal will happen for you
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: and I, not together.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe, but we would have to start dating someone like
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: right now, probably like today.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, folks, people that have no hope, you never
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen on any given day. You
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: can wake up and your life can change. You can
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: run into somebody at the supermarket. So never give up hope.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: 2024 can be a great year. You can get married.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: You can change your job. You can, you know.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Something exciting can happen. It's always on
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: the horizon. So don't give up. What are you doing
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: for New Year's, David?
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Believe it or not, I'm going to be in the
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Hamptons and I'm going to go to Tudor El Jorno,
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: which is just on Main Street. Like it's that's the
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: place to go. And it will be like a party,
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: but casual. And I'm going to walk home like I'm
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: OK to stay home for New Year's. What are you doing?
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really a New Year's person. I'm going
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: to be in Palm Beach. My best friend is coming
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: to visit me from New York, Tim, and we are
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: going to have a really fun time.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: Are you staying in?
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: No, I think I'm hoping he will convince me to
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: go out and do something fun. So he's my gay
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: friend from New York. He always makes it more fun
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: when he's around. We've shared a whole history of stories
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: and fun parties and things for, you know, I don't know,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: probably 20 years now.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: So it'll be fun to share this year with him.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: And you never know what's going to happen. So we're
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: going to pray for some magic and love this year
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: and good things to happen with our podcast. So I
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: wish you the best of luck. And, you know, oh,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: do you have one New Year's resolution you want to
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: tell me about?
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Just to like, I mean, I'm already doing this, but
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: really just like, Don't care. Like, nothing matters. Like, it's true.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Nothing really matters, as Madonna says. All you need is
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: your health. Nothing else matters. Everything else just rolls off you. Like,
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. You can come in. Listen, Rachel, you
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: can't control people's actions. You can only control your reactions.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: So whatever happens, if it's not health-related, who the fuck cares?
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: I live by that, but that is my New Year's
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: resolution to stay to that. What is yours?
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: For me, I had a great guest on who was
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: talking about being present in the moment.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: And being open to things. And for me, a lot
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: of the reason why I haven't maybe met the right
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: person or jumped on some opportunities is because I'm a
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: little bit closed off. When you go to the supermarket,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: do you have a hat on? Are you looking down?
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Are you not trying to talk to people?
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of how I walk through my
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: life because I like my life. I have my little,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: you know, life all compacted together, but I need to
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: make myself more available and approachable. And I think that
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: would help me in a lot of aspects of my life.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: And I think it would just make me happier maybe. So,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: you know, anyways, I think that for me, my resolution
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: is to just be more present in situations where I'm
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: more approachable.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: So, yeah. Put your phone down, be present for those
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: in front of you. Yes, that is right.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: All right, David, thank you so much. I am so
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: happy that I had you in my life for 2023.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to having you in my home in
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Florida in 2024. And so we can do a live
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: podcast together, but I wish you the best. I love
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: you dearly and happy new year.
• 57:59
