Speaker 1:
[00:16] What's up, everybody? Welcome to Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday's for crying out loud.
Speaker 2:
[00:23] Yep, Friday.
Speaker 1:
[00:24] It's Friday, FCOL day. We love you guys.
Speaker 2:
[00:29] Can I just tell you a secret?
Speaker 1:
[00:31] Sure.
Speaker 2:
[00:32] I haven't had a shower since. For well, I drove on Friday, so probably Thursday night, I took a shower.
Speaker 1:
[00:42] You look fresh as a daisy.
Speaker 2:
[00:44] Do you ever just do you ever like go, OK, I've got to have a shower. First of all, I didn't. Y'all heard the Tuesday show. You know, when you're in a hotel, it was just like the schedule was so messed up that I was like, there's no real time that I want to shower and frickin do my hair again.
Speaker 1:
[01:01] Right.
Speaker 2:
[01:01] So I had done my hair Thursday night. So Friday, I drive and I don't like get messed up. I know people, some people like to have a shower after a drive. But listen, I've already been through menopause. I'm not sweating.
Speaker 1:
[01:15] Right.
Speaker 2:
[01:16] There's nothing going.
Speaker 1:
[01:17] You're not running around, not running around.
Speaker 2:
[01:19] I'm sitting in a car. So like, what do I need a shower for? I get there, we eat some food. Now I go to sleep. Well, now I got to wake up at the crack of dawn on Saturday. So I'm not going to shower that in the morning. So then you're probably thinking to yourself, yeah, but when you got back, it was a long day and you were out at this high school all day. Maybe you'd want to shower then freshen up.
Speaker 1:
[01:40] No. That's why I got to sleep.
Speaker 2:
[01:43] I just want to go to sleep. The next morning, I wake up, as you heard from Tuesday, I'm not feeling well. So I'm not going to shower when I'm fairly functional. Then I'm like, you know what? Now I'm just going to drive. What am I going to take a pre-drive shower? That doesn't make no sense. Use your heads. If you're thinking, why didn't you do that? Think about it a little longer and you'll realize that doesn't make any sense. So then I drive home. Well, I don't get home. It's like 1030 at night and I'm exhausted.
Speaker 1:
[02:16] Right.
Speaker 2:
[02:17] What am I going to take a shower? I'm like, why am I dirty? I was just in my car.
Speaker 1:
[02:20] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[02:21] Which is clean, by the way, because I'd had the car washed like the day before I left. So I'm not dirty. I'm not sweaty.
Speaker 1:
[02:27] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[02:28] I'm just tired.
Speaker 1:
[02:29] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[02:29] So I go to sleep. Next day I get up. I know what you're thinking. You're like, but Stefanie, that was Monday. Now you have all the time in the world to take a shower. I know it didn't come up.
Speaker 1:
[02:41] Sometimes you forget at our age.
Speaker 2:
[02:44] I was kind of busy. I was really tired. I took like a little nap. And then I was like, all right, I'm just going to go to sleep. And then this morning I wake up and I had to record a podcast with Cecily Rose Pricks. And then I was like, well, I don't, I could take a shower really quick right now, but then my hair is going to be wet. It's kind of cold outside.
Speaker 1:
[03:04] I was like, you know what?
Speaker 2:
[03:06] I'm going to go record with Lynette and then I'll go home and shower.
Speaker 1:
[03:09] I'm going to take a shower when we get home too. Yeah, because I woke up sweaty this morning for some reason. It was freezing in my room. So I bundle up and then I wake up sweaty. And I was like, I could take a shower right now, but I don't want to deal with that. So when I get home, I'm going to take a shower. Cause I'm like, what's Stefanie going to be sniffing me? And also I don't really smell. I smell my arm, but I'm like, I'm okay. Just cause I was sweaty. But my problem is I don't want to wash my hair. I wash my hair like twice a week. That's about it. I take showers. I take showers. But when I put my shower cap on, I don't get my hair wet. So I don't want to deal with my hair. My hair is a lot to deal with. It's a pain. So I don't want to deal with that kasha. So I just rinse off and that's, that's what I do.
Speaker 2:
[03:54] Yeah. But then when you're like, well, I'm going to just rinse off, but then I have to like wrap my hair in a towel. Like, I don't know. It's if I'm not going to wash my hair, but then I have to like, I should get a shower.
Speaker 1:
[04:04] You need a shower. I got a lot of shower caps floating around. Natalia comes and takes them. They go back to the bathroom and take hers. But yeah, you gotta have a lot of shower caps. Just go to the drug store and get a bunch.
Speaker 2:
[04:14] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[04:15] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[04:15] My kids steal my shit too. My daughters do. And they do this thing that I really hate where they pretend they didn't. Like Sadie will give me the blankest, like I'll be like, how come I had like five claw clips? I bought so many claw clips around Christmas time. I've loaded those fucking kids' stockings up with claw clips because they always steal mine.
Speaker 1:
[04:39] Right.
Speaker 2:
[04:39] And then I, while I was at it, I was like, had a couple for myself. I probably had five, like within the two drawers in my bathroom. Yesterday, I went to go put a claw. I needed a claw clip. I didn't have one.
Speaker 1:
[04:52] See, that's ideal with that too. And there was the other a couple of weeks ago, I was going out and I wanted to wear my brown boots and I go in my closet and like, I can't, where's my boots? I haven't worn them in a long time. Like, where are they? I called Natalia and go, hey, did you take my, and by the way, her foot is bigger than mine. I'm like a seven and a half eight. She's like a 10, 10 and a half 11. And she stuffed her feet in my boots and took them to Santa Barbara. Like bitch.
Speaker 2:
[05:21] Wow, that is kind of crazy.
Speaker 1:
[05:22] That's ballsy. She's like, you've been, I've been watching those boots, mom. You never wear them. You never, I've never seen you wear them. They've been in your closet. I was eyeing them and I was like, I really like them. And you weren't home. So I forgot to tell you. I was like, sorry. She's coming home on Thursday for a night. So she's bringing them back.
Speaker 2:
[05:43] Oh, that's good.
Speaker 1:
[05:44] Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 2:
[05:46] You know what's funny is that Elbie, so, okay, Elbie graduates in June, but I swear to God, she's like, I don't want to say checked out, but it's almost like she's not at college anymore. She spends a lot of nights at home.
Speaker 1:
[06:03] Really? That's nice, though.
Speaker 2:
[06:04] So she, it's so nice. No, this was not a complaint.
Speaker 1:
[06:07] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[06:07] I was like, it's kind of great. I mean, I just don't feel the same pain of like, oh, she's away at college because I see her constantly.
Speaker 1:
[06:17] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[06:18] Well, she works on like, she has to pass our house to go to work from UCLA. So like last night she went to work and then she just came back to the house. And she was like, well, I don't have class until like two tomorrow. So I just figured I'd sleep here.
Speaker 1:
[06:36] Yeah. Isn't that nice? I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[06:39] It's the greatest.
Speaker 1:
[06:40] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[06:41] It's kind of feels like she's not away at school.
Speaker 1:
[06:43] Right. Because you see her all the time. Yeah. I feel that way about Natalia too. I mean, she'll go long time without coming home, but she's coming home on Thursday. She's going somewhere local. I don't know, on the weekend. So she's not, she's not going to be there for the weekend, but she's coming on Thursday. So that's nice.
Speaker 2:
[07:03] You mean local here, local.
Speaker 1:
[07:04] Yeah. She's going out something somewhere local. Yeah. And around us. Yeah. So do you want me to tell you about Karen Read and Turtle Boy, or do you want me to tell you about my thoughts on Brittany Cartwright? And people are going to get pissed off, I think.
Speaker 2:
[07:21] I want to hear about how you've been looking at houses. And what you've kind of decided on.
Speaker 1:
[07:27] Yeah. So I've been looking at a lot of houses in our area, close by Pasadena, Glendale area, and parts of Lacanada, maybe not really, but not a lot out there. Like slim pickings and for a lot of money. And you know, it's like two bathrooms, three bedrooms, which is okay. But then like, I mean, but for the money that they're asking, it's like, it's ridiculous. So Suzanne just bought a house in Santa Clarita and Dawn lives in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 2:
[08:02] Has Dawn always lived there?
Speaker 1:
[08:03] Yeah, she has.
Speaker 2:
[08:05] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[08:05] For a long time. Yeah. Yeah. For her and her husband. So, you know, they're going to be out there and it's only like 30, 25, 30 minutes without traffic. But even with traffic, it's not that bad. From my house to there. So it's not that bad. But so anyway, there'll be, there'll be like listings in my area and I'll look at it and I'll go, oh my God, this looks great. And then I go look at it and it's, the house is really old and I just worry if I get this old house, is it eventually, you know, going to have problems? I don't know. Some of the house is built in 1909, even though they've been updated, you know, there's a lot of that out in our area. But then I got Don's husband, who used to be a mortgage broker and is really into real estate, is like, oh my God, you could get double for your money out here. And he's right. And there's like new developments. You can get a brand new house, blah, blah, blah, for like cheaper than the houses you're looking at right now in your area. And you got your two best friends, like you're going to be out there. Your kids aren't going to be living with you like forever. They're going to come and go. And it's like you got to be and then I'm going to be by myself. Like, I mean, there's really I don't really have a lot of friends out in Pasadena. All my friends are scattered.
Speaker 2:
[09:19] So I'm going to interject that I mean, I agree with that thinking. Yeah, I think I feel like, you know, my brother lives in Santa Clarita, and it seems far to me, but I'm sure you get used to it. But staying in Pasadena for the kids is also kind of wrongheaded because you're like, well, I want to be close to their friends, but they don't need their friends are going to scatter.
Speaker 1:
[09:42] Exactly, exactly. And, you know, I know that they want to be close by right now because they're coming home for summer and they come home for Christmas and stuff like that. But, you know, when they're done with college, their friends are going to be all over the place. And so are both of them. So, you know, I need to think about my future and where I'm going to be happy. And for the amount of money that I'm going to spend, I can get a nice place close to my two best friends, which is a big deal to me, you know? I mean, having Suzanne like nine minutes away, that's great, you know? We want to do things all the time. Suzanne lives so far from me. It's over an hour to get to her house. Same for her to come to me. It's ridiculous. So, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[10:27] So, wait, she already moved there or she's moving?
Speaker 1:
[10:30] She's moving in May next month.
Speaker 2:
[10:32] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[10:32] Yeah, she's an S-girl. I went and looked, I drove by her house. It's really cute. Yeah, her and her boyfriend are moving there. And, you know, Dawn's husband, God bless him. I love him. He's like, let's go look. I'll show you, come up on a Saturday. So, I went up on Saturday. I went and looked at one house out here, close to La Cañada that I was excited about. The house was like, the backyard was great. The house was just kind of like, very old, like a Brady Bunch house. So anyway, so I'm like, okay. Then I go there and he shows me all these new developments and how close everything is to everybody and the amount of space in the house I can get for the amount of money that, like I want a pool for myself. Like, you know, when I'm hanging out, whatever. I like that for exercise, for my new dog I get, you know. I can't find a house with a pool around here. Like, you're going to have to put a pool in or you're going to have to update bathrooms, stuff like that, you know. So I'm really thinking Santa Clarita. I know the kids are not going to be happy about it, but, you know, it's really for my future. They're just going to be coming and going. So I went out there and yes, Steve showed me a lot of stuff and a lot of houses.
Speaker 2:
[11:45] It's closer than Palm Springs.
Speaker 1:
[11:48] Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:
[11:51] You know, yeah, if you made that move, they would have to drive for hours to come see you.
Speaker 1:
[11:57] Right, right. Yeah, I'm not going to Palm Springs. No, I know. So anyway, I think I'm going to do that. I really like the area and I really like what I was shown, the houses. And, you know, I did tell Natalia.
Speaker 2:
[12:14] Oh.
Speaker 1:
[12:15] I told her and she was like, okay, but can we wait until after summer before you move, at least like stay? And I'm like, I don't know. See, here's the other thing. These new development houses, I don't know when they're going to be ready. They might not be ready right away. I would like to move as soon as possible because I want to get a dog as soon as possible.
Speaker 2:
[12:33] Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1:
[12:34] Yeah. So.
Speaker 2:
[12:36] But do you have to move into one that's, I mean, there's a lot of developments that are still new-ish. You want to move into a house that like no one's ever lived in before.
Speaker 1:
[12:45] Not, it doesn't have to be that way, you know. So anyway, I went on Saturday just a couple days ago. So my realtor is going to be looking at not just these new developments, but other houses as well in that area. I told him which area I want to be in. So he's going to look, he's going to still look out here, you know, but now he's going to give me a different search out there. So now I'm thinking, yeah, that's a possibility. You know, they have really nice houses out there.
Speaker 2:
[13:13] Yeah. And like, as I told you, if you weren't in so deep with your guy, my sister-in-law, that's what she does.
Speaker 1:
[13:19] Right. Right.
Speaker 2:
[13:20] She's a realtor in Santa and she specializes because she lives in Santa Clarita. She loves it.
Speaker 1:
[13:26] Yeah. Now I know people watch The Valley and I know that they're thinking because there's an episode where the Santa Clarita couple had a party and like everybody had to pile in and they just were like, well, oh my God, are we still in the state of California? Like how, what's the time zone out there? I mean, they really were like going and that I watched that episode and I was like, oh no, really is it that bad of a drive? But it's not, it's not that bad. It's whatever, you know, if you're going to have people over, they're going to have to make the track. Everybody lives so far apart now as it is. Melissa lives in Manhattan Beach. You know, she wants me to come out there. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[14:03] Beach is way farther away than Santa Clarita.
Speaker 1:
[14:06] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[14:07] For us.
Speaker 1:
[14:07] Yeah. Exactly. So everybody lives far apart anyway.
Speaker 2:
[14:12] Yeah. I mean, look, do I think it's a bit of a drive when I have to go see my brother? Yeah. Like I don't see him. And then we have this other, our other couple friend. Well, the other people we have Thanksgiving with, they now live in Santa Clarita. So now my sister and if you live in Santa Clarita, you're going to see your friends all the time.
Speaker 1:
[14:33] Right. Right.
Speaker 2:
[14:34] You're going to have get togethers and it's going to be fun for you.
Speaker 1:
[14:38] Right.
Speaker 2:
[14:38] Will you see your friends from LA as much? No, but it sounds like you don't need to.
Speaker 1:
[14:44] Right. When we get together, we get together, we pick a spot and everybody drives to that spot. Some people are close to that restaurant. Some people are 45 minutes from that restaurant.
Speaker 2:
[14:53] Right.
Speaker 1:
[14:53] You know, with the ABC girls and all my other friends, like, that's what happens.
Speaker 2:
[14:57] Someone's always going to be bitching about it.
Speaker 1:
[14:58] Right. But nobody's ever just popping over, coming over on a Sunday night or watching the game together or whatever. Like now we can do that because we live so close.
Speaker 2:
[15:06] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[15:07] It's going to be nice.
Speaker 2:
[15:08] It will.
Speaker 1:
[15:09] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[15:09] Do you know anybody else out there?
Speaker 1:
[15:11] Yeah. My niece Jackie lives out there. My other niece Tiffany lives out there. Yeah. There's a couple of people out there. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[15:18] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[15:18] So it's not bad.
Speaker 2:
[15:19] Yeah. I mean, listen, my brother had to move out there. And then for a while, a lot of his jobs were like, one of his jobs was near the airport. He had to make that drive every day and he survived.
Speaker 1:
[15:32] Yeah. Suzanne works at ABC, Disney and Burbank. She's got to make that drive.
Speaker 2:
[15:38] Yeah. A lot of people do.
Speaker 1:
[15:39] Yeah. So that'll be fun.
Speaker 2:
[15:41] Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you're, you're feeling positive about it.
Speaker 1:
[15:45] Yes, I am.
Speaker 2:
[15:47] That's nice. Let's talk about something else that's positive. And that's our new shave option, which is Flamingo. So most women's razors are cheap and flimsy, right? But not Flamingo.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:
[16:24] That's nice. And cutting your hand up.

Speaker 2:
[18:37] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[18:38] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[18:40] OK, so tell me about Karen Read, Miss Karen Read.
Speaker 1:
[18:44] So, all right, you still think she's guilty. You're like the only one.
Speaker 2:
[18:49] I'm the only one. I haven't thought about it in a while, but like.
Speaker 1:
[18:53] Well, here's OK.
Speaker 2:
[18:54] Yeah, I do. I do still think she's guilty.
Speaker 1:
[18:56] OK.
Speaker 2:
[18:57] Well, here's here's I think the other people were shady and I think some they're not, you know, I think. But I think she hit him. Yeah, she was drunk. She was hammered and mad at him.
Speaker 1:
[19:09] But even though in trial, too, it was proved that he was not hit by a car by a lot of experts, including the prosecutor's expert. It was proven that he wasn't hit by a car with those injuries. He had cuts on his. He had a cut on his eye. He had he had a his the back of his head was split and he didn't have any broken bones from the neck. How do you get hit by a car with no broken bones?
Speaker 2:
[19:36] Because I don't think she like hit him. I think she knocked into him and he fell and then his arm with all those cuts on his arm. Well, what do you think the cuts on his arm were from?
Speaker 1:
[19:49] Was from a dog. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[19:51] Had like, why did he have not one tiny bit of DNA from a dog?
Speaker 1:
[19:56] I don't know. Maybe they prove that in court. I don't know. There's so many things that point. So basically now what's happening to Karen Read has a lot of like lawsuits happening at the same time. She's the family of John O'Keefe is civilly suing her for wrongful death. She got that. She's suing somebody. She's suing like basically everybody, the commonwealth, all the shady cops. She's suing them. Now this lawsuit dropped where it's the McAlbert's and Jen McCabe. They're suing. And now they're suing her and Turtle Boy for defamation and that they were in cahoots, that she was feeding Turtle Boy information, blah, blah, blah. I've been following Turtle Boy now since the case because he's got...
Speaker 2:
[20:45] Yeah. Didn't I thought Turtle Boy, I'm confused, right? Because I thought Turtle Boy thought she did it.
Speaker 1:
[20:51] No, he was the one that brought the movement. He's a journalist at Boston, and he's been doing this for way longer than Karen Read. Like he's done a lot of wrongful lawsuits. He was focusing on the Sandra Birchmauer story where the cop in Boston, she was pregnant. This was on Dateline, like killed her, but the cops were covering it up for that. He was like exposing that. So that's kind of his thing. He used to be a high school teacher. So he does these YouTube presentations and blah, blah, blah. But ever since the... No. So he brought the whole Karen, free Karen Read movement. Like it was kind of on him. Like he really brought it to life. So, and also the datelines in the 2020s, that got a lot of attention on the case. So now these people are suing them for defamation because he would, he's outrageous. He would do videos where he would show up to them and like go Jen McCabe, like right up to her face and be like, why did you, why did you Google how long to die, how long to die in the cold? And then delete it at 2.23 in the morning. And why did you do this? And you're, you know, he would say that, and like, you're a cop killer. You're covering up for these cops. You're dirty, blah, blah, blah. So he would say these things. He would also say things on his show that were, they say were fed to him through Karen Read, through her lawyers, blah, blah, blah. So now they're suing for defamation. But Melanie Little, excuse me. Melanie Little is an attorney. She's like, does a LawTube show and she's been covering it. So she's been going through this lawsuit. Like she does three hour streams and she's like part one, part two, because it's a long, it's a huge lawsuit. But she's going through every accusation. And then if there's like, you know, proof of it, she clicks on the hyperlink and she's showing it, she's breaking it down. It's pretty interesting. So I'm like fascinated by this. I'm following it. We'll see what happens. But I think what's going to happen is they're going to expose, like Melanie Little is saying, that it's going to expose that what they did is freaking shady. Like why did she do this? Why did they get rid of their, after butt dials, get rid of their phones, delete everything, try to delete everything off their phone. Why did they lawyer up? Like it's showing, it's now going to bring, it's going to show that they could be the people responsible for the death of John O'Keefe. It's going to like backfire on them.
Speaker 2:
[23:19] Well, why do you think they killed John O'Keefe?
Speaker 1:
[23:22] I think what happened is these guys are meatheads. There was an ATF agent that was trying to hit on her. She kind of ghosted him. They were all out together. Karen was there with her boyfriend. It was during the snowstorm blizzard. These cops were there and they were, this one ATF was trying to hit on her. And like there's text messages and she's just ignoring him at the bar that night when he died. And there's video of them going like, okay, let's go back to the house. And I think that they all wanted everybody to go back to the house. This guy was jealous, I think. I think that they got into a fight and he got knocked out. He had vomit on his shirt as well, which I didn't know until now, till reopening this case. That tells me he got a concussion, threw up on himself or something. And he had cuts on his eyes, like he looked like he got in a fight. Their dog, the German Shepherd attacked him. That's all the scrapes on his, scratches on his arms. And then they re-home that German Shepherd. They get rid of the German Shepherd immediately. And don't tell anybody where the German Shepherd went. That's shady. Then I think that he got knocked out and they freaked out. And they put him out on the lawn. And I think they were going to just say like, he got hit by a car. He got hit by a plow. He never came into the house. Let's say he never came into the house. And they were all texting and calling each other throughout the night. And they got lucky because Karen showed up. I think they knew that the plow guy was coming at 4 o'clock in the morning. And I think they were going to pin it on him. But what happened was they didn't expect Karen Read to go, where the fuck is John? What happened? What happened? Where's John? And by the way, she goes out looking for her boyfriend. She gets in the car. She backs into his car as she's leaving. It's on the ring cam. And that's what cracked her tail light. And then she goes out and now she's incriminate herself going, did I hit him? Maybe I hit him? I hit him. I hit him. I hit him. She's saying this. And now Jen McCabe is hearing this and they show up and then they find him. She finds him dead on the lawn. And why? Why is the house? Nobody inside the house. Brian Albert's inside the house. He he is a cop. He is a first responder. Why? And Jen McCabe is driving around with Karen Read looking for John O'Keefe. Why isn't she? She's married to Brian Albert's wife. That's her sister that lives in that house. Why is she not calling them going, John's dead on the lawn? What's going on? The house is dark. Are you guys OK? How come nobody comes out of the house? There's 911 now that I heard recently where she says, don't come out of the house. She's saying she calls her sister for two seconds and says, don't come out of the house. And they don't come out. Why didn't they come out? There's a there's a their their friend was a cop dead on the lawn. So anyway, all this evidence is now going to come out. And it's now going to shine a shine the spotlight on them. And they're going to it looks like they're going to like, her side is going to have to prove like, look at, looks like they're pretty guilty here, you know. So it's pretty interesting. It's kind of like I love the Karen Reed case. I was so interested. I got like hooked on Turtle Boy's drama. Like he's got a lot of he's got he's going like looking at jail time for yeah, for witness harassment and stuff like that. So he's facing, you know, a lawsuit as well.
Speaker 2:
[26:52] For harassing the Alberts?
Speaker 1:
[26:54] For harassing the Alberts. Yeah. For, for witness intimidation. But he feels like he's got a good case. A lot of it's a lot of the charge has been dropped. It's not over yet. Then he had a crazy ex-girlfriend that that got his phone extraction, which got released. And this is why people are like, why, why is Turtle Boy and Karen Read like not friends anymore? Like, you know, he helped her, you know, get acquitted from all his news coverage. Why, why do they have beef? And it's because his crazy ex-girlfriend who was jealous of everybody, got his phone and has like her own YouTube. And she released like a lot of the phone extraction, which was a phone call between Karen Read and Turtle Boy. And like they're yelling at each other. She released that and, you know, so it just was like she had so Karen had to like kind of distance herself from Turtle Boy.
Speaker 2:
[27:45] So, you know, I feel like we need to stop calling him Turtle Boy.
Speaker 1:
[27:49] Aiden Carney. His name is Aiden Carney. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[27:53] And did he name himself Turtle Boy?
Speaker 1:
[27:55] He's been named. He named that like 15 years ago when he started his blog because of some statue. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. He's got two kids. He's divorced. He's like Howard Stern-esque. He's got all these crazy characters around him. They just went to court over the phone extraction thing. And the judge was funny. It was a funny watch. Melanie streamed that. The judge was like, I don't know this turtle. He was like total New Yorker. Like I don't know this turtle head kid is. Why are we calling him Turtle Boy? I get it. Go on. Go on. You know, like, you know, it was real. It's just fucking interesting. It's like drama after drama. But the Karen Read stuff is now, I'm going to follow it. So I'll keep you posted.
Speaker 2:
[28:40] Okay. Yeah. Now let me ask you this. Did the Blake Lively trial start yet?
Speaker 1:
[28:46] We are like one, about a month away, May 18th, it's starting.
Speaker 2:
[28:51] Oh, cause it was supposed to start in April, I thought.
Speaker 1:
[28:53] They moved it. Yeah. Excuse me. May 18th, they're going to court. She's not slowing down. And I think she's going to testify. And Ryan Reynolds was just on like some Saturday show with the Today Show guy. Did you hear about that? It was over the weekend. They asked him about it. And he was just basically said, all I can say is I'm incredibly proud of my wife. You know, that kind of bullshit, right? Yeah. So yeah, that's happening.
Speaker 2:
[29:27] Interesting. Okay. You know what I don't love when you're watching like a dateline or a 48 hours or 2020, and you find towards the end, you find out like, and then the trial is coming up. And it'll, it could be from like a long time ago. So they'll be like, or his new trial is coming up or their probation or whatever it is, is coming up like April of 2026 or January of 2026. And then you look it up and there's just like nothing about it. Like it never happened.
Speaker 1:
[30:02] Wow.
Speaker 2:
[30:02] It's because they always are getting extended.
Speaker 1:
[30:04] Right. Yeah. Yeah. They're always kicking the can down the road.
Speaker 2:
[30:07] Yeah. I don't like that.
Speaker 1:
[30:09] I know. But you know, she had 10 of her complaints dropped.
Speaker 2:
[30:14] Right.
Speaker 1:
[30:14] All the sexual, you know.
Speaker 2:
[30:16] Right.
Speaker 1:
[30:17] Stuff, SA., all that stuff got dropped. So it's just stripped down now to whether they, you know, had a smear campaign against her.
Speaker 2:
[30:26] Right.
Speaker 1:
[30:27] Which is ridiculous in my eyes.
Speaker 2:
[30:29] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[30:30] There was no, she created, excuse me, she created a smear campaign on her own organically.
Speaker 2:
[30:38] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[30:39] Especially when that Kirsty Flaw video got dropped and she's been called to testify.
Speaker 2:
[30:44] Who's that?
Speaker 1:
[30:45] Kirsty Flaw's the one that really sparked all the hate for Blake when she put that clip up of, you know, congratulations on your baby bump. And Blake was like, congratulations on your baby bump.
Speaker 2:
[30:57] Oh.
Speaker 1:
[30:57] And she wasn't pregnant.
Speaker 2:
[30:59] Right.
Speaker 1:
[30:59] Yeah. That kind of like, they think that she was in cahoots with Blake, with Baldoni on that, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 2:
[31:08] Ridiculous, like you think they weren't in cahoots.
Speaker 1:
[31:10] No, it was like...
Speaker 2:
[31:11] Shitty stuff is coming out about Blake because she's a bitch.
Speaker 1:
[31:14] And she sat on that video. She never released it. And because of all the stuff about Blake, she was like, this made me want to quit my job. I'm going to show you this video. And then she put it out and they're thinking that he, like Baldoni got in touch with, I don't know. Like she's just got this whole thing. Like there was a smear campaign to damage her reputation. She spent like about $50 million in attorney fees so far with this lawsuit that she has going. Isn't that fucking crazy?
Speaker 2:
[31:45] To give up. I mean, all it does is ruin your own reputation.
Speaker 1:
[31:50] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[31:50] For like, you become known as that person that's just the... And it's not like a real, like a MeToo case where he did something to her, which I think cheapens the real stuff that happens when women come forward. It's like, you want to say like, oh my God, I'm calling this like sexual assault because he walked into my trailer when I was breastfeeding. And then we find out that you told him come in my trailer. Right. And you knew he was coming over to your trailer, you invited him in, and then he came in and you're like, oh my God, I was breastfeeding.
Speaker 1:
[32:22] Right. Exactly. All the receipts.
Speaker 2:
[32:25] And just the stuff where he said like, hey, blah, blah, blah. Like you don't have to write me right back right now. You probably got like a baby on your boob, you know? And which is like that's not sexual harassment because he said you have a baby, especially if that's how you guys spoke to each other.
Speaker 1:
[32:44] Right.
Speaker 2:
[32:45] I would never, would you ever be offended if somebody was like, oh, listen, I know you're probably busy, you know, it's because it was like the middle of the night. I think you probably have a baby on your boob.
Speaker 1:
[32:54] Right.
Speaker 2:
[32:54] You wouldn't be like, oh my God, he's talking about my breasts.
Speaker 1:
[32:58] Exactly. And there was also that one complaint about, he was talking about his penis, because they were talking about how she's giving birth to a boy and they brought up circumcision and he, you know, like it just was crazy that the stuff that she accused him, like called him sexy or whatever, like that all got dropped. It was just dismissed.
Speaker 2:
[33:22] Yeah. So because it was stupid.
Speaker 1:
[33:24] No, it was ridiculous. Yeah. And you're right. It does. It does hurt real victims of sexual harassment. It's like she's ruined it. She's just horrible, horrible. Her and Ryan Reynolds are just the worst.
Speaker 2:
[33:37] Let me ask you this. This is a total right turn. But I just remembered something that I saw on Facebook earlier today that I was like, is that is that a thing? And now I think I think you might be up on this.
Speaker 1:
[33:50] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[33:50] So Amy Schumer, when she made the movie Trainwreck, she claims that John Senna, is that his name?
Speaker 1:
[34:02] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[34:02] The rest of the John Cena. She claims that when they did their sex scene, he was actually inside her.
Speaker 1:
[34:11] What? I didn't know this.
Speaker 2:
[34:11] That's what she claims. So then, and she's claimed that for a while. So whose fault is that? First of all, and then I just saw this article about John Cena.
Speaker 1:
[34:24] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[34:25] Senna. His wife or whatever has come out about how that's affected her. So how do you haven't even heard of this?
Speaker 1:
[34:36] So how does how does one have a penis slip into you?
Speaker 2:
[34:40] And if you don't like, well, apparently, like, yeah, people are like, well, I guess it's like method acting, you know, like that is that's crazy. So maybe they were attracted to each other and they just, I mean, yeah, I don't think you just your penis doesn't accidentally fall into her vagina. And you're usually not naked when you're doing a sexy.
Speaker 1:
[35:03] Yeah, you have things undergarments on.
Speaker 2:
[35:05] So were they like fucking around?
Speaker 1:
[35:09] But so now she's not, she's not happy about it, obviously. And now she's, I'm going to look this up. This is bizarre.
Speaker 2:
[35:16] Yeah. So I'm going to look up, I'm going to say, what's his name? John?
Speaker 1:
[35:21] John Cena, C-E-N.
Speaker 2:
[35:23] Yeah, John Cena, Amy.
Speaker 1:
[35:28] You want me to do an ad?
Speaker 2:
[35:29] Schumer. Yeah, let's do an ad.
Speaker 1:
[35:33] Okay. Let me tell you guys about Blissy. Listen, I found Blissy these pillow cases, which are amazing. And I got them for Christmas presents and I got myself one. So I already know about Blissy. These pillow cases are silky and they're comfortable and they are healthy for your skin. They reduce fine lines and wrinkles. When you have those sleep creases, it helps prevent breakouts. They're better for your hair. It reduces frizz and breakage and preserves the style and color. They're better than satin. They're silk and it's natural and it's cooling, which I love because I get hot and I don't have to turn my pillow when I use Blissy.
Speaker 2:
[36:13] Sadie's been on to these silk pillow cases for a long time. She's obsessed. I gave her a black one, but she's already had another one. I had a silk pillow case before. Yeah, we all swear by it.
Speaker 1:
[36:26] We love them and they have over 100 colors. So check them out because you're a listener. Blissy is offering 60 nights risk-free plus an additional 30 percent off when you shop at blissy.com/fcol. That's blissy.com/fcol and use code fcol to get an additional 30 percent off. Your skin and your hair will thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[36:52] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[36:53] All right.
Speaker 2:
[36:54] Okay. Here's this article. It says the headline is Amy Schumer says John Cena was actually inside her during the sex scene. Amy Schumer joked that Trainwreck co-star John Cena was actually inside her when they filmed a racy sex scene together in 2015. The comedian played Amy in the rom-com, which starred Bill Hader, Brie Larson and LeBron James. Her character is a commitment phobic, believes monogamy isn't possible until she meets her one good guy. Blah, blah, blah. It says the pair stripped down for a very intimate scene together. And Schumer recently opened up on what it was like to film the scene. On an Australian chat show, she was asked how she kept a straight face as Sena's modesty was protected with nothing but a towel. She joked, because he was actually inside me, who am I to stop him? Co-stars Bill Hader.
Speaker 1:
[37:53] What?
Speaker 2:
[37:54] Hold on. Added, wrestlers, they're not faking. When they're wrestlers, they don't fake. At the time, Schumer joked Sena's body was, quote, not even human. She said, it's a whole universe, that butt. It's not even human. It felt like having a refrigerator on top of me. She added, I think it was probably harder for him. He had to, like, do something. I just did what I usually do when I have sex, just lay there. You know what? I didn't get to feel his balls. It's a major regret of mine, major regret.
Speaker 1:
[38:25] This sounds really bizarre. Why is she, like, talking about this now?
Speaker 2:
[38:32] I don't know. And then it says back in 2015, Cena discussed the film on Conan, where he branded it awkward. Honestly, this is him talking. I didn't think I'd get the part, and I kept putting it off, not telling my wife, and not having a discussion of, hey, there may be some graphic scenes. He went on to say his wife had every right to be mad because he didn't tell her about what the role entailed from the start. I don't know. That seems to be the end of the article. So maybe she was just joking, but it keeps coming back up. Maybe she was joking that he was actually inside her.
Speaker 1:
[39:08] Right.
Speaker 2:
[39:09] But now there was some article I saw that was basically saying that his wife talked about how it felt to her.
Speaker 1:
[39:17] Well, I'm sure she wasn't happy to hear about that joke, you know, if it was a joke.
Speaker 2:
[39:23] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[39:24] I mean, that's kind of, you know, I don't know. That's I would be pissed too.
Speaker 2:
[39:30] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[39:31] My husband did a sex scene and she made I don't know. It's that's really weird. It's really strange.
Speaker 2:
[39:37] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[39:39] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[39:40] So I do want to tell you this. Kids just don't appreciate a good podcast. I don't know if it's their attention span, but like that that mine's that great. But so you know how last week I was telling you about Beyond All Repair, the podcast? Yeah, I was just going back and finding some ones that I hadn't listened to in a while. And I got to say Xander did not want to listen to. I was like, do you want to listen to like a crime podcast? And he was like, not really.
Speaker 1:
[40:08] Yes, Sonny would not want to listen.
Speaker 2:
[40:10] I was like, I could get you a good one. We could listen to NBC, like Killer Roll, which is like it's about like there's actors in there, it's about kids putting on a play. And he's like, yeah, I was like, are you worried you're going to be bored? He goes, yeah, I was like, okay. So I, by myself, when I had my migraine that I told you about, I listened to, so people took me seriously last time and they listened to Beyond All Repair. And Robin texted me and said, hey, I listened to Beyond All Repair, that woman, Sophia, is psycho, right? And then I was like, shit, I didn't actually go back and listen to it yet. So I went back and I listened to the whole thing. And then I was like, yes, she really is. It's a good one.
Speaker 1:
[40:50] Really.
Speaker 2:
[40:51] But now I've told you many times to listen to Love Trapped, which I also tried to get Xander to listen to, which I could not agree on that. But did you ever listen to it?
Speaker 1:
[41:00] No, because I got stuck on all this Turtle Boy stuff. I know I got to listen to it. It's like I don't watch The Bachelor, so I don't know like if I'm really going to be, but it does sound pretty crazy. Sounds like a crazy story.
Speaker 2:
[41:15] Oh, my God, it's so good.
Speaker 1:
[41:17] I am going to listen to it for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[41:20] Yeah. And I'm trying to think if like Xander and I could not find anything to watch. So we watched Perfect Match, the old season that had Clayton in it.
Speaker 1:
[41:29] Right.
Speaker 2:
[41:29] Well, if you're not going to watch or not going to listen to the podcast about Clayton, here's a show we can watch this.
Speaker 1:
[41:35] Did he like it?
Speaker 2:
[41:37] Yeah, it's so stupid.
Speaker 1:
[41:38] It is. I saw I saw that that season when he was on. That's the only reason how I know him.
Speaker 2:
[41:44] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[41:45] I saw him on The Bachelor.
Speaker 2:
[41:47] The funny thing about hanging with Xander is that as opposed to hanging with one of the girls. Well, I'm going to make the more more direct comparison with Elbie because Elbie loves to gossip. So when I'm like going somewhere with Elbie, we will like we'll talk things to death. And so she was driving somewhere and I was driving with Xander and I could not get him to like get into the gossip with me.
Speaker 1:
[42:15] Yeah. Same with Sonny. He's the same way. He just wants to talk about sports.
Speaker 2:
[42:20] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[42:22] Yeah. And you know, Natalia just watched The Godfather, which with her boyfriend and she loved it. And I was like, really? Cause it's kind of slow and you gotta pay attention. She's like, you know, no, I was on my phone a lot. Trust me. But she's like, no, I got the gist of everything. And she was, she was like, I loved it and made me want to make like chicken parmesan. She's like, it was just craving Italian food the whole time. But now she's like, now I understand when you say like, Luca Brasi sleeps with the fish, you know, I'll make an African hair. She's like, now I get it. You know, she gets why I named Sonny Santino. Well, that was the godfather too, because I saw him as a young boy with the curly hair. I thought, oh my God, my son's going to look like that someday probably. When I was a kid.
Speaker 2:
[43:07] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[43:07] And then I also told Natalia, I loved how he protected his sister. You know, I went and beat the fuck out of the brother, the brother-in-law, you know. So now she's like, I get it now. I get it. You know, she's, she loved it. So it was cute.
Speaker 2:
[43:20] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[43:21] I like that.
Speaker 2:
[43:22] Yeah. That is cute. My kids do not have the attention span to watch, like right now.
Speaker 1:
[43:29] They're just Natalia too. Like she's now star. She's like, what other movies can I, well, watch, watch Godfather too. And she's like, no, I think I'm going to go back to watching Sex in the, she's been watching Sex in the City.
Speaker 2:
[43:39] Oh really?
Speaker 1:
[43:40] She loves it.
Speaker 2:
[43:41] Yeah. Oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 1:
[43:44] Elbie would probably like that.
Speaker 2:
[43:46] I was just thinking that she probably would.
Speaker 1:
[43:48] Yeah. It's a good show for them at that age.
Speaker 2:
[43:51] Elbie got, did I tell you she got a promotion at work?
Speaker 1:
[43:54] No.
Speaker 2:
[43:54] So she was a hostess for a long time, and now she's a food runner, which is like a better job. So really at this restaurant, you cannot just be a server unless you have prior serving experience, but yeah, she's, and she had her first real runner shift last night, her first one, and the tips are much better, and you're already trained to be a server. So once you've put in your hours being a runner, you can start asking to be a server.
Speaker 1:
[44:23] Oh, that's great.
Speaker 2:
[44:24] And then that money's pretty good.
Speaker 1:
[44:26] That's awesome. Good for her.
Speaker 2:
[44:28] Yeah. I don't want her to get trapped and just be like a waitress or server. I mean, it's a good job for her right now. She really is so social and she loves that restaurant life and loves all her coworkers. She's just fun that way. But I don't want her to just do that full time and not do other things. Because that's what I did and it can lead nowhere.
Speaker 1:
[44:52] I don't think she's going to be doing them. She is doing other things, right? She's working with that other company that puts on the show.
Speaker 2:
[44:58] Yeah, but those gigs are so few and far between. She got offered one that she couldn't do because she has a class on Wednesday nights. And yeah, it's not like a regular thing.
Speaker 1:
[45:09] Right. She'll show up anyway.
Speaker 2:
[45:11] Yeah. All right. Let's let us say hi to our friends like Katie's rolling on E and Krista grabbed the strap and Stephanie's a stinker winker and Sandra is green around the gills and Erin's a dirty Sanchez and Leslie is still coughing.
