  finished with heated hot yoga, and then they squeeze in a 5-minute sound bath
• 0:26
  so your body will fully soak in the entire workout.

  Their certified instructors, who have worked at all of those places but ended
• 0:34
  up hating them all, will yell at you if you're not working hard enough,
• 0:38
  and will make you question your core strength,

  all while you wonder why you're paying $175 to work out next to a bunch of skinny
• 0:45
  girls wearing aloe that are barely breaking a sweat.
• 0:49
  Each class includes a eucalyptus towel and a complimentary affirmation card
• 0:55
  that says, You did choose this.

• 1:17
  or the realization that you could have just gone for a walk.

  Well, hold on. That's my mowing the lawn speedo, obviously.
• 1:25
  Andy Cohen explaining an old photo of himself wearing a speedo while mowing
• 1:28
  the lawn on Jimmy Fallon the other night.

• 1:36

• 1:41

  But, like, seriously, mom, like, can you please share this with some more of

• 2:22
  I'm kidding. But, like, not really. So, in real news, Dylan Sprouse recently
• 2:29
  went down the Ancestry rabbit hole and found out that his family tree is, like,
• 2:34
  pretty kind of connected more than, like, anyone ever realized.
• 2:39
  Like his parents family had already kind of like crossed paths and like kind
• 2:44
  of already intertwined before his parents got together and i guess even realized,
• 2:49
  like his family was already kind of intertwined in the 1800s so,
• 2:56
  there's kind of a lot of incest going on in that family,
• 3:00
  and apparently there are seven sets of twins across four generations of the
• 3:05
  spouses like crazy, right?
• 3:07
  But when Dylan called his brother Cole to tell him about what he found out,
• 3:12
  Cole was like, I don't want to hear it. This is fucking creepy,
• 3:15
  dude. Like, I'm better off not knowing. I mean, I don't blame him.
• 3:19
  Like, if any of us found out that our family history had all these plot twists,
• 3:25
  I'd be less interested in my ancestors and more interested in whether the DNA
• 3:29
  task came with a therapist.
• 3:32
  So it turns out Christina Applegate doesn't have MS.
• 3:36
  Like after five years, she just found out that she was misdiagnosed.
• 3:41
  She's been dealing with severe pain like being numb so many mobility issues,
• 3:48
  and it's affected her life like unbelievably but then her doctor was like you
• 3:53
  don't have ms but she has all the symptoms i'm ms and the doctor was like well
• 3:59
  you have all the symptoms but like i don't know what you have,
• 4:02
  i feel like that's me every time i go to the doctor,
• 4:05
  and christina's like so embarrassed about this like she's so sweet i feel so bad,
• 4:10
  she feels like she let people down because she's been an advocate for ms which
• 4:15
  is so crazy but the thing is though like she really did believe and she's all
• 4:19
  the symptoms of ms she was diagnosed with ms,
• 4:22
  so like she has nothing to really feel that bad about but of course that's like,
• 4:27
  so embarrassing and like of course you would feel bad about that as any actual
• 4:31
  good person would so now the doctors are trying to figure out what actually is going on with her,
• 4:37
  like I don't I don't understand if it's not MS then like what is it and also
• 4:41
  how is it not MS if you have all the symptoms,
• 4:44
  it makes no sense but also like I did find out that I have ADHD and a bunch
• 4:50
  of other disorders that I've been dealing with my whole life that have gone
• 4:53
  undiagnosed and untreated
• 4:56
  like that doesn't help at all either so like I feel for the girl.
• 5:00
  Okay, Trump wants to replace the White House press briefing room with a swimming pool.
• 5:08
  Yeah, like, let's just get rid of the press briefings and, like,
• 5:11
  let's just all go swimming, right?
• 5:13
  But the whole ironic part about this is that actually where the press briefing
• 5:18
  room is, where he wants to put the swimming pool, is where a swimming pool already was.
• 5:23
  Like, Roosevelt had one there in 1933 for physical therapy, and Nixon covered
• 5:30
  it up in 1970 to make room for the press.
• 5:34
  So, like, there was a pool there, but, like, they did away with it,
• 5:38
  so there's no room for the press. But now Trump doesn't want the press anymore
• 5:42
  because he hates them all, so he's like, let's get rid of it and,
• 5:44
  like, let's just go swimming again.
• 5:47
  I literally wouldn't be surprised if Trump just, like, puts on a yellow helmet
• 5:51
  and just starts, like, trying to hammer it away himself because he,
• 5:55
  like, doesn't want to answer any more questions and, like, clearly cannot keep
• 6:00
  a press secretary for the life of him.
• 6:02
  But, like, also, I don't think he understands that your press secretary doesn't
• 6:06
  have to be just, like, a pretty white blonde girl. Like, it could be a guy maybe, too.
• 6:11
  It could be a black man. It could literally be anybody, Trump.
• 6:13
  Like, it doesn't have to be a freaking pretty blonde girl.
• 6:17
  Okay, this is getting a little unhinged. In Lindsay life, okay,
• 6:21
  yesterday I tried the Pilates reformer for the first time.
• 6:25
  It was like 3 30 in the afternoon in Soho and I was like, what am I doing with my life?
• 6:32
  Like I am literally in a Pilates class in the middle of the week in the middle
• 6:36
  of the day on a reformer. Like I need to get a job.
• 6:40
  But anyway, I was literally surrounded by like so many little skinny girls wearing
• 6:45
  like aloe and lulu and it was like everyone was so good at it too okay if you've
• 6:51
  never done the reformer let me explain it to you,
• 6:54
  i actually don't even know how to explain it to you it's like the slide it's
• 6:58
  like a slider and like goes back and forth and there's all these like contraptions,
• 7:03
  but if you like sit on the slider you'll like fly one way or like fly the other
• 7:09
  way and in the beginning these girls like the girls all next to me they knew
• 7:13
  what the fuck they were doing I had no idea what I'm doing,
• 7:17
  they're like very coordinated like moving the slider back and forth I jump on
• 7:22
  the slider it flies me like all the way to the back and I scream and I was like.
• 7:28
  And all the girls in their little Lululemon outfits, like, look at me like I'm psycho.
• 7:32
  And I'm like, isn't this supposed to be fun? If we're not having fun in Pilates,
• 7:37
  and what are we, if we're not having fun in Pilates at 3.30 on a Tuesday,
• 7:42
  then, like, literally, guys, like, what are we doing?
• 7:44
  Anyways, so it was this whole really intense experience. It's very,
• 7:48
  very hard. You're, like, literally sliding around. You're using all these,
• 7:52
  like, contraption things and pulling them up.
• 7:55
  And like you have to like put your feet in some things and you're just like
• 8:00
  other things are just flying it's it's really crazy.
• 8:03
  Things I'm thinking about how I am literally the only girl in this world who
• 8:09
  gets so stressed about shopping like literally
• 8:14
  I spent the afternoon in Soho yesterday because I had some time to kill before
• 8:18
  my 3 30 Pilates class because I literally need a job,
• 8:22
  and I was like oh like I'll just like walk around into stores it was such a
• 8:27
  stressful experience like I was like oh my god like I I'll walk around Bloomingdale's
• 8:32
  and then like I just the idea of having to like go into a dressing room and like,
• 8:37
  take off my clothes to then put on new clothes and then take off the new clothes
• 8:41
  to put on other new clothes and then put my old clothes back on,
• 8:45
  all just to not even know if I want these new clothes or anymore just stresses
• 8:49
  me out and even just stressing me out talks about this and then,
• 8:53
  I was like you know what like also I don't feel like spending like a gazillion
• 8:56
  dollars in Bloomingdale's let me try TJ Maxx I walked to see TJ Maxx and then
• 9:01
  go downstairs where all the clothes are
• 9:02
  god it was like a freaking horror show in there the amount of like racks of
• 9:07
  clothes that they have lined up like you have to,
• 9:10
  be ready to go for like a needle in a haystack and I was like I'm not I don't
• 9:14
  even want to go shopping to begin with.
• 9:17
  So I get down to the bottom of the escalator. I am so stressed.
• 9:22
  And I look at all these clothes and I'm like horrified. And I just turn around
• 9:26
  and I go right back up. And I was like, you know, I told myself,
• 9:29
  you don't have to go into any more stores for the rest of the day.
• 9:34
  It was like a really stressful day. Cooking tip of the day. If you buy food
• 9:39
  to cook, you have to cook it before it expires.
• 9:42
  And the more food that you buy, the more expiration dates you have to check.
• 9:47
