Mb. I don't think that's an actual song, but like I heard it on a TV show once and it's been in my head because it's not religious, but it's definitely from like a campfire camping show. It feels religious. Well, I mean, I'm not really, but like it feels very on par with you. Respectfully. Okay. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Messiah. He has risen. He has died. It's his birthday, whatever, the goddamn holiday. How are you? I'm okay. That sounded, are you trying to convince me or are you trying to convince you? I don't know. Truly. I don't know. I don't know who I am. I don't know what year it is. You're very tired. Yeah, but I'm not like the silly tired, not like the, I'm brain dead tired. I'm just silly. I can handle silly when you're brain dead. Dead and your eyes are glazing over when I'm telling you a story. Oh, it's the worst. It's the worst. Just, no, I don't like it either. I'm pretty miserable as well. I'm trying to put my whole bussy forward. It just, it's just hard for me sometimes, you know? I, you know, I was feeling really ugly, fat, and crusty today. That's just how I feel. And can you please say one nice, no, it's not self doubt. It's how I feel today. Bridgette. I'm allowed to feel my feelings today. I'm just having one of those days where I'm like, I think my beard's growing in. I haven't had a minute to trim it. My hair is gray. It's getting gray, it's getting greasy. I am hairy. I have patchwork legs because I shaved my legs with no contacts in because why? My contacts got lost also. So I've been wearing the same contacts for a week. Oh, Colleen. I can't help it. I have to see. I can't help it. Your feelings are valid. Thank you so much. So I was feeling a little cresty dusty, chubby today. How are you? I'm good. I'm like, that's so good. That's like so good. It really is. I like your sweater today. Thank you. I like the neckline. Yeah. It's really comfy. Co. It's a cashmere. No. Oh, I'm too poor for cashmere, but I will say I'm usually like anti gray. I'm, I'm for the gray on this one. Yeah, it's like a, it's not a light gray, but it's not a dark gray either. Mm. That's not helpful. No, it's like a wear on a visual podcast. It's like a light gray. Yeah, yeah. No, it's light gray, but it's not sweatsuits. Right. Heather Gray. Like it's not the gray. Yours is because they can see that too. You, no, we Mine's a little, mine's extra light gray. Yeah. Yours is sweatsuit gray. It's very Heather, Heather Gray. Yeah. That's the word I'm looking for. Unlike Heather Gay. Who is Heather Gay? Who is Heather Gay? I'm having a moment. Salt Lake City. Oh my God. Thank you. You're welcome. It was like, I know who that is, but it just took me a minute. I'm like shocked. You didn't. She needs to just relax with the work, and I know she owns like a beauty lab, but Miss Girl was stunning before, not stunning, but like prettier before. Let's just let women do whatever the fuck they want to their bodies. No, I know. But she took it too far. She did. I think what happens is it's kind of like tattoos where you get one and you're just like, oh my God, I wanna, then Dick did. Yeah, because I was at Heather McMahon the other night, which we'll talk about. Mm-hmm. And she was talking about it because she had lipo on her neck. Mm. They went to moderate. The first time. Mm-hmm. Like they came back and they were like, we actually should have done more. So they did it a second time and she was like, oh my God, I want everything done now. Oh, she, so I think it's like an addiction. It's fair. I mean, if she's happy, whatever. I'm just saying, in my opinion, in my opinion, Hey, that's my opinion. Love to have an opinion. Hey everyone. But hey, I forgot. Sorry. Welcome to this week's episode of Sipping with the Shannon's. We're cousins and every other week we sit down, we sip on some wine, we talk some shit, and we have a good giggle. I'm Bridgette Shannon. And I am Colleen Shannon. What's new in life? What do you wanna update us with? Oh my God, I have so many random thoughts. Do you wanna see how long my list is? I'm gonna flash you. I know we're not doing, I'm gonna flash you. He, he, you know how we don't do what You do that every time I see you. Okay. But this is different. Ready? Look how long my notes are about things I wanna talk about. The flash was very funny. She did it like very tentatively, like turned her Ip n her iPad over and then spun it right back. Just, just so I didn't see anything. My IPN, so I mean, like I, I'll rip'em. I'll rip right through if you need me to. Okay. Go. Okay. What I have, what I did red watch and what I need to talk about simply because I need to mm-hmm. Is what it says. Mm-hmm. Okay. Mm-hmm. And then manic topic of the day. Okay. Um, What I did, I got a new job. I'm going to Vegas all week next week. Very exciting. Yeah. I'll probably be less homicidal. That, that's exciting. I mean, the Sun Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. I'm into it. I'm, I don't think I'm a Vegas girl. We'll find out, but I just meant like a new job. I don't think you are either. However, I think it is a free trip somewhere warm, where there'll probably be pool, be a pool, a perch, and a perch. And like I a people watch and you, you love to, people watch and you love to be in person at work. You, you like that social? You'll love it. I mean, you'll leave and you'll be exhausted. Yeah. But you'll love it. Okay. As long as you don't, how often do you have to go? I don't know how often I do have to go for the full week this, and then like in a month I go for another like nine days. So you're going once a month? Not like on a regularly regular basis, but like at, at the beginning? Yeah. Because they don't start till like next week. So like I think it's just got, got it. Got it. Kiki get the feel. Yeah. The Kiki with the girls over there, you know. Oh my god. That, but I think I'm gonna go see Kenny at the sphere. Even if I go by myself. Oh my God. You have to go. I would go see Kenny at the sphere with you. Okay. Oh my God. What if we fly Erin out? That could be fun. And we, we have her go see Kenny at the spear. That could be fun. I'll let you know when I'm there. Okay, great. That would be stunning. Fabulous. Okay. I would love that so much. I saw a dog that looked like Spencer. Oh, did it make you so upset? I didn't recover. Great. And then you wanna know something crazier? Sure. I saw the dog obviously had his job. Actually, it was a really funny interaction now that I think about it. So there are these libraries, the walking, you ever see those libraries on your walk before? Mm-hmm. If you want like a little stroll. Mm-hmm. You, you give a book and then you take one. Yeah. I found a bunch of old books at work and I was like, I'm just gonna like throw these away. Like, so I packed them and I went for a Walk with Mans. And so we went and found like four separate ones and like took one out and put one in at every single one. So we're at this like little perch, the cute little, it looks like a birdhouse kind of mm-hmm. On the side of the road. And it basically, people just put books in it and Yeah. If you don't know what they are, sorry. I didn't mean to just be like the little libraries on the side of the road. They look like burn houses. No. People know it's public people, no people know, but not in every town. Some people are not from good towns. I'm not Google it Anywho. So the man opens one up and all of a sudden I just see like a little man shuffle behind him and then stop. But the, the man says not see him. Then I just see a dog like near his foot, like sniffing away. And again, he's just standing there and there was no, there's no sound, there's nothing. So eventually I just like wait for the plumber to close the door of the little birdhouse. And he turns around and he goes, whoa. Because he almost stepped on the dog. And then I look and it's says Spencer Dupe. I nearly died. And I was like, hello, hello, hello. And I approached, I wanted to just put his nose in my mouth. It was a girl. Her name's Annie. So we obviously like had a little moment there. I took a picture of her, I can show you. Aw. Um, And I said, I'm so sorry. I simply must see your dog. And it was a little old man. He was so cute. I could have died. And then we separate and we proceed to walk for like 10, 15 minutes. We pass them again in a separate place. It was seriously the most stunning thing. Where's the dog? I'm simply gonna show you. Or I also will not survive. Oh my God, I have it. Look at this dog. Oh my god, it looks so much like Spencer. That's fucking crazy, isn't it? And it was like the same mix that he was too. Same. He was like a beard mix. Yeah. That's crazy. You guys don't care, but like in case you did, that happened to me and it was crazy. And I will not recover from it. Everyone's gonna be deeply obsessed with that for you, because everybody knows how much you love Spencer. Yeah. I can't wait till the get to the pearly gates. Okay, well, let's, let's relax on that. Let's relax a little bit in case anybody wanted to know how I was doing. I will summarize it in this statement. I, the past two weeks, you're probably gonna say like, oh, you really didn't do much.'cause like I always say that I went to a bridesmaid proposal, a bridal shower, a first birthday, and a christening. So you can imagine like quite literally how I'm doing. And then I got home and I had two more invitations for two more. So I love you all. I do, I love you. All my friends dearly kisses. Love you so much. I need a moment. I need a mo. I do. And I'm ha I am happily attending these things. But if you like take a step back and you're like, oh, I haven't had free at will in a while. There was one year where half of my weekends for the entire year. Where bridesmaids are baby showers. Just like, just because every wedding is at least three weekends with a, with a bachelorette. Yeah. A shower and the wedding itself. That's fair. And I, I was in multiple and invited to multiple, and then people were having babies. It's unfortunately like a decade of your life. No, it is fine. I just need to say it loud. No, it's fine. It's so fun. We love showing up, we love celebrating people not having, and you have another job, so like you still waitress on the side. Yeah. So you quite literally don't have a say over your own weekends. No. And after, and that's No, but nobody's fault up on my own. No. But that's also unfortunately what a lot of people are going through right now, where everyone is struggling to make ends meet, picking up extra jobs, and you're just gonna burn out because you're just trying to live fucking comfortably. It just sucks. Yeah. It ain't right. It's not about, not, it's, it's not about not celebrating your friends for the record. That's not what I mean. It's, it's about not having a weekend where you get to decide what you do and where you go. Ever free will? Yes. Yeah. I'm getting stretched thin on the free will. Like, I just, I'm looking for a time where I'm like, oh, can I just like have an hour to read my book and maybe watch the show? I wanna watch. Yes. I need to rot, I need to stare at the wall. I need to watch catch up on my tv. Yeah. And not use my brain. I'm just a simple girl. I love nonverbal time and I haven't really had it that much. I played a joke on Claire the other night and she didn't think it was funny. Did joke. She, it wasn't, I, I was giving her a hard time. She, it was the end of the night. She wasn't listening and she got like, best listener at school and she got a Popsicle. If you, if you keep it up, I'm gonna call your teacher and tell them you can't get a Popsicle anymore. And I fake called Erin on the phone full fucking meltdown? I can't blame that full. Walked around, cried, stomped. I showed Danny my phone. He goes, you didn't call my mom, did you? I go, no. And she comes back and I go, are you done? She was crying and she was like, why would you do that? And I said, Claire,'cause I didn't. I was joking. I was trying to get you to listen and pick up after yourself. We're gonna go to bed, but you wouldn't listen and you decide to have a meltdown instead. And she goes, you didn't call her? I go, no. I go, Danny, did I call her? He goes, no. From the other room. From the other room grabbing a beverage. No. And she looked at me and she goes, you really didn't call her? And I go, no, Claire Bear, I just wanted you to listen. And she goes, why would you do that? I'm just a tired girl. You and me both sister. Here's the thing, like I couldn't help but laugh. I was like, honestly, fucking same kid. But is she ever wrong? You know, she, she's wicked funny. I mean, they're both so funny. I loved them as babies, but I cannot get over How fun the toddler when they can speak. Yeah, and they have their own personalities and they're super smart and kind like, you know, our dad, our dad's 10 year just came up he's been dead for 10 years, which is crazy. And Aaron was talking to them about it and Danny was like, oh, it's your dad's ghost birthday. And I was like, yeah, that's exactly what it is. That's a kind of crazy thought. Like it's your ghost birthday pure mind man. They're just like really sweet and funny. Yeah, she broke the door yesterday and Erin was like, what happened? She goes, I'll just tell my dad he fixes elevators. But is she wrong? She's not wrong. She's not wrong. You, that Claire bear. Anyway, you do that. We're just tired girls. Tired girls. We're just tired. I'm just a tired girl. One of us, one of us truly red and watch, we simply like, I'm pausing for us because we must talk about Samuel Bateman and his squad. Oh my god. The false prophet. Yes. In his leather jacket. Christine Marie in that pink fucking, I would die for her. I would ride a dawn. She's like the ell woods of the FLDS. That's a really good, she's such a badie. The mom. I wasn't the mom. Do you wanna know something terrible? I've seen a lot of people come out about previous work with her and say she's like, not a scammer, obviously, because she has a heart and like did something with them. Obviously they would be nowhere without her. But that's like her mo to like try to do things like that. Like in a negative light. What do you mean? Like they have Christine Marie. Yes. Like she's done it to like other people, but she. Used and abused them for the her like clout and for like video footage and stuff. Oh, that makes really sad. I dunno, ifs true. I've seen it in multiple places though, including a Reddit thread. But it that, and it did make me sad and I really hope that it's not true because that documentary, if you haven't watched false false profit, you simply must stop what you're doing and go watch it. It's it incredible. I mean it's incredible. It's Mother God 2.0 but better. Better because it's in real time and they were actually able to do something about it. Yeah. Versus Mother God is after the fact and she didn't fact ascend. Yeah. Oh my God. She ever turns fucking blue. I can't, I cannot with mother God, but I just, the mom who is in there with her and starts being honest. Like, I just have so much respect for her. Yeah. And I, I see the hate comments that they get and I'm like, people have no fucking idea. If you grew up around adults who told you this was normal and that you were special if you were chosen. Yeah. They're completely indoctrinated and brainwashed and they know nothing else. They truly think the only way they will ascend to heaven is if they have sex with this fully grown man. Yeah. How would they know better? You would do it too. You would know. Yeah. That's the thing. It's like these people who come for them, like you're just fucking ignorant and stupid. I'm sorry, I, those poor girls and a bunch of them are on TikTok now. Have you seen them? Oh yes. Gnomes. Gnomes popping and hers gnomes get after it. The photo shoots the, I love the humor. Thank God we got, they all got the dark humor, thank God. And like some of them are going back to school in. Met other people and dated and like, they're wearing normal clothes. What do they call it? Civilian clothes? No, God. Not civilian clothes. Fuck. What is it called? It doesn't matter. They, they reference it a lot in the documentary though. It's just a, I think that in real time, what's really painful, and I don't know how she does this, is when they say like, extra horrific shit. She, and she has to be like, well, he is the prophet. Yeah. And then she gets in the car after and she's like, what the fuck? Yeah. Like, what the fuck did we just listen to? Yeah. Especially when little girls, she has to be like, he really came to you. Oh my goodness. Like, this is so exciting. Like, well go along with his bullshit. Who was the one person that he was like, they're coming to me, coming through to me. And it was like something so ridiculous. It wasn't like Trump or something. It was like I, no, when they're in the car and he's basically like, he says that Queen Elizabeth, it's recorded. And you can't see his face though. And he's like, oh yeah, they have to have sex with me. That's what Jesus told me. Like, that's what they're, whatever he claims. And they're like, yeah. And he's like, it's hard. It's really hard to burden to like, yeah, it's the last thing I would wanna do. The man Moroni. I get the fucking air piece outta your ear, bro. I'm gonna kick the shit outta you. Is he getting calls from above through it also? Yeah. Oh, is is Jesus tapping into your fucking earpiece? It's the Messiah. Sorry. Call from the Messiah. Gotta gotta tap in. Gotta put you on hold. Yeah, put you on hold. Literally. I fucking can't. I fucking can't. Let me, I and the guy who kept bailing him out, stop bailing this man out. He's a predator, made so much money when they pull up in their range rovers to their sheds and their trailers, their Cadillacs. You're like, sorry, the leather jacket sent me to a spiral. Or no, when they film, when they film him and he's like, do on a dirt bike, and he's like acting like he's doing kick flips and shit. Oh, you know? The, oh, he looks like he's doing extreme parkour. Yeah. I saw someone put it to the office. Yeah. Like the overlay of, he, like, he's hiking and extreme part and he's jumping from rock to rock. Like he's Edward calling up a tree and what's his name said, oh, you're really like, you're really good at hiking. And he's like, it's just hiking. Yeah. You can just tell he thinks he's the hottest shit on the planet. And he actually looked like he crawled his way onto earth. Yeah. It's not funny, but in the grand scheme of things, like when the cops kind of like, confront the girls and they're all just like staring at'em, like, you bastard, like you've didn't brainwashed that bad, that you like see a cop and you're like, truly they're the problem. Sobbing. Yeah. Sobbing. They taking him away. She was fucking bastard. Like, no. When they come out of the back of the fucking van, the no, it's not even a van. It's like a trailer. A. A legitimate trailer with a sheet up so when you open it, you can't see them and they're like, we can see you. What would you do if you pulled into the Walmart and that was happening in the party and these girls are coming out in like traditional garb, turning butter clothing with wigs on. There's Colonial woman on the wing in the plane. There's something they're not telling us. No, I would be deeply upset. I would be deeply upset. I mean, I would obviously stop and watch, but I would be deeply upset. I was gonna say, I fear if I didn't have any context, I would be dying laughing. No, I'm coming out of a trailer calling. If I didn't have any context, of course I'd be laughing. But if you would've been like, that means diddling them, I would've been like, this is fucked up. Well, no, obviously. I just mean if you saw a bunch of women in Colonial Gar coming out of the back of a trailer with their hands in the air from the cops left, I would fucking laugh. No, because you probably would've been like, they just robbed a bank. They're not leaving. They're not, you would've like made up some fun. I would've been like, they're confused. They're off from, they're off the farm like they are looking for the nearest wooden wheel. Like they're confused. You and you know what? I wanna know the wagon. How the fuck, how the fuck should they get their hair like that every day? Okay. No, for real, they have to be wigs. How do they not have beards and mustaches? Where, what are you using? I just wanna know, I want, I want all these bloggers to take a beat. You want their skincare every day. I want a day in the life. You wanna see what they do? Oh, yes. For Dermaplaning I do, because I'm buying heavy duty hardware and electrical items. Your DNA n's a tad bit different. And I just wanna know like, how are you getting that poof every day? And you have this gorgeous thing called PCOS. It's so rude. It's so rude. I saw a thing the other day. It was like when someone looks at you and they're wondering what you're thinking about.'cause they're, the person's going like this and they're gently, like rubbing their chin, chin their chin, chin. Like they're thinking and you're like, they're touching their hairs. I'm just, I'm just looking for my hair. Yeah. I can feel it. I can feel one growing in and it's bothering me. Yeah. Further it goes down the neck. It's time to take you out. The heavy hardware you have to stop. I have like three on my neck stop. Like in the middle of, or my, you need, you need to get lasered where my Adam's apple is. You don't have an Adam's apple Where my gobble Would you stop where my gobble is? I have like one thick hair, not the gobble. And then start naming them. This one, Shirley. Oh Lord. Jolene, what else? Tell us more about your life. I have one long blonde hair on my forehead. Did you know that? That's great, Colleen. Isn't that crazy? That's crazy. It's blonde. Okay. Does it stick up like the rest of those, like puby looking ones just growing from random places? Anywho, Have you watched the Pit yet? It is over, so no. Okay. Because I was watching RuPaul's Drag Race season 18 and I wait for the end and then I buy the season and I watched it all the way to San Francisco while I was there and all the way back.'cause there's like 16 episodes and they're all an hour long. That's like the perfect timing. Yeah, it was so fucking good. It's one of my favorite seasons. Really. Skip ahead if you don't like a spoiler. I won't say who won or anything. The only gripe I have is my favorite, like the front runner was send home early. Oh. To the point where when they said her name, I was like, oh, rule never let this happen. She's winning and they send her home, she loses. And so that was the only thing I really didn't like. But I loved the queens. They actually fucking liked each other in a way They haven't, in past seasons, they were all more tenured in drag. So in the last couple seasons they've done like more talkers, which there's nothing wrong with that, but kind of similar to Love Island. You were just getting a totally new wave of like person that I don't really vibe with, with No, they're for the quote, they're for the quote. So majority, like 80% of these queens were all over the age of 30. So I've been doing it for over a decade and they, it just was so good in entertaining and it was like an OG season, like a genuine queen. I, I love season 18, so, so, so, so, so, so much. Like if people ask me what season should I watch? I'll name a few in the beginning, a few in the middle, in this one. Okay. Loved it, loved it, loved it. But tell me about the pit. Let the people know it's, it's on my list. It's next up. It's like, I think it's because I watched it week by week that I wasn't enthralled by it at all. Like, it became chore. Chore, like to me, not in the way season one was. Yeah. And I think it also makes more sense that I should have just watched it whole season.'cause it is a whole day anyways. So it's like, why wouldn't I just, well, I felt this way for people who are old enough. I watched 24 that way, and 24 was one hour through the day. It always ended on a cliffhanger. So instead of just like waiting every week for the cliffhanger, I just waited until episode 22. Ah. And then just watch the whole thing when it came out. Yeah. I probably should have done that. Next time. So like I don't have any good feelings about it. Like I just don't. Wow. Yeah. But I Oh, that's so interesting. I wonder if I'll feel that way as well.'cause I saved it. I'll come back to you on that. Yes. I was actually really excited to hear your thoughts on that because of that. Okay. New season of euphoria. I, I know you were nervous about it. It's not very what you thought it would be like drug addiction things, drug wise, heavy wise. It's almost like, gross. Like the first episode was like, kind of gross in a way. It's not a spoiler, so I'm gonna say it. I don't really care. Ru is like, and they, they make it seem humorous in a way. It's lighter in this sense, but it's also just like, gross me out. They're like shoving the balls of drugs down their throat so they can shit them out. Like, but it's like the context of it and how they play it out is like, it's funny. Okay. Fair. So it's not dark. And she meets like a new kind of it's on a drug dealer. He runs strip clubs. And so she's like getting into business with him. So it's really not dark. It's not like dark like that. Yeah. It's you, you would actually not like, but you'd be okay with it. Got it. So just keep that in mind. But yeah, I wasn't really like, I'm not overly excited about it at all. Okay. Fair enough. My thoughts, I wonder if everybody feels the same. I watched the Burger Chef Murders. Oh, I've never seen that on Hulu. I was gonna do almost an episode on it, but then I was like, it's fine. You just, it's dark, it's a dark one. It's too dark. It's not even dark where it's like a fucked up level of murder. It's just a murder. Do you know what I mean? Not to say like, it's just a murder, like, and it's, its bad, but it's pretty straightforward. Question mark, exclamation point. I don't know. Yeah. So maybe One Day And Real Housewives, Rhode Island. I'm never down for a new branch, branch land, whatever you wanna call it, of Housewives City. I was okay with Salt Lake City, like I loved the first couple seasons, but I kind of just stopped watching and I love them. Rhode Island. Yeah. It's something, I think it's almost like a little bit comforting in a way because it's home. They have the accents and it's like almost a more relatable and I just like the characters. There's no one that You also love Rhode Island. I do love Rhode Island. Yeah. There's a, I didn't know about her, the Laura on her before. Um, Ashley, I, yes. I hate her. If there was one tv. Yeah. I knew you were gonna hate her. It's her. Yeah. I knew you were gonna hate her the moment you brought it up. I'm like, there's no fucking way. She likes Ashley. How did they get this girl on tv? She's a freak. She cried her and Jared like, do you know anything about it? I heard she just cries and like, she was just obsessed with him and he wanted nothing to do with her. And now they're just like married and he owns a coffee shop. Yeah. When I tell you doesn't, well obsessed over him cry got drunk and was like, why do you love me? And he was like, dude, leave me alone. And then he just broke down and started dating her and now they ha they're married with a baby. That's like so embarrassing Now. That was like old school bachelor where they wouldn't give you any food and would shove alcohol down your throat. But still like your no digital footprint lasts forever. No. Her iconic face like meme is her sobbing. Like think of Kim crying. Yeah, it's like that. She cried. She's also just like, not cute, honestly. I mean, have you seen their son? No. He's so fucking cute. Olivia saw them at the, my friend Olivia saw them at the aquarium, like a bunch of them. Oh really? Yeah. Oh, lovely. Yeah. Yeah. No, not for me, but there's like a couple baddies on there. Like one of Dolores's from New Jersey's best friends on it named Liz. Mm-hmm. They look exactly the same. She owns like all the dispensaries in Rhode Island. Love it. Yeah. Like, I love that type of vibe. Mm-hmm. Very not old money'cause they're, a lot of them are very much new money. But I'm give it a watch. I like it. Great, great. Cool. We must talk about scandal all 2.0. Okay. So what is the update? I'm talking, I'm assuming you're talking about Amanda Petula and West Yes. In Sierra. Yep. So we did talk about it. Yes. Since then, nothing's really happened except that obviously everyone's coming from Amanda, Petula and West as they fucking should. And I'm so sick of this, like they're bullying me. They're holding you fucking accountable'cause you're a cunt. That's correct. Let's be clear, both of you shoot them into the sun. That's correct. When is the reunion coming though? So the reunion has been shot and there has been leaked audio from it. Yes. Have you heard it? No. Bridget, I have, sorry, I have to show you the leaked dot. It's like, it's I one minute clip. Okay. And Bravo is quaking. They were like even made a public note, like, post about it and was like, we will find out who did this. Like this is a total breach of our security. And then at one point they reposted and was like, we have dealt with the situation and it has been handled. Like I'm dying enough. Oh, so someone got, it was an internal Bravo person. Someone got fired. Mm-hmm. Hope they made enough money to No.'cause Bravo can sue the shit out of them. You get to run amok and ever because everyone's your friend to be clear and you get to manipulate people and say whatever you want today and get whatever you want. That's so fraudulent. Yeah. It's you that's tell yourself your mo something. So you can be app piece with the schmuck who you are, but everybody else has a completely different interpretation of their relationship with you. Well also Amanda, why are you doing with this? Like why you went from being married, and I'm not saying your relationship was perfect, but you went from being married to being one of West side bitches. That's crazy. This is unnecessary. The statement came out incredibly rushed because of how insane it all became, because you got caught like you got that west. So why did you feel no, there was a video that was out there and the last thing I wanted was for us to continue denying it and for this video of me taking in a very vulnerable, intimate situation to be, oh, please, you in public use this blackmail or released public. How long you denied? Oh, stop. I don't, I don't know what the video is. The video didn't come out or we a thousand percent, but if I can, where was the apology for Sierra in the statement? Apology. Fuck. Yeah. Because I sent you a text message and I asked you when the rumors came out, is this true? You were like, I denied it Buster, and I a hundred percent denied it and I lied to you. And you were like, duh. Why did you deny? Because it was all so new and I was figuring out, out there were so many layers and complications to this, the fact that he was seeing other people, the fact that I was technically isn't that enough complications and layers to go, what the fuck are we doing here? Right? Yeah. Period. We talked about it. So it was so conscious that you guys talked about it. It wasn't just like a drunk hookup. You guys talked about it. No, it all started with how fucking weird. Fuck yeah. Sierra, you still did it. You chose to do it. Okay. But guess what? Sometimes you can't help who you like and who you are attracted to. Amanda. You actually can't help it. You can't not from, not from what you said. You actually can't help. So you, I not married to handle that. So you, I wasn't married anymore. Sierra, you're legally by the state of New York. You're so fucking so, I'm sorry, but when I'm separated from someone, I have to say celibate and single for the rest of my life. Until the judge, nobody paperwork. Nobody to say, nobody was saying that you need to stay separate. Yes. Or what the fuck ever. But there are a million other fucking guys in New York City get it. But you chose the one that, and you know how much that fucked me up. You chose the one guy I didn't choose. Yep. Just because I didn't. You're fucking snake, Amanda. You're a snake in the fucking grass is what you are. That is, you are a snake in the fucking grass. And you should honestly just say, okay, because you know you are. You move silent, but you're fucking deadly dead. When Sierra confronted you and said, oh my God, I'm like, you know, that's in someone's pocket. It's like, okay, but you know what's so fucking annoying about that? What is her whole Amanda Ula, the, oh, so I'm supposed to say celibate. Well, two minutes earlier she said I was still technically married. But now when the argument is that you're a fucking snake, it's, well, we were separated, so now I'm supposed to be celibate. Yeah, you can choose, choose. If you didn't fuck your, one of your best friends guys. Yeah. While he's actively fucking other people. Also, the video she's referring to when she says, I haven't seen the video, it's because DUIs posted that it was, this is the alleged rumor, right? And then someone messaged you moan and was like, I can confirm that this is correct. I've seen a video that was taken from an apartment across the street from West's where you can clearly see West and Amanda making out in the window of his is or her apartment. I forget which one. And the person didn't send the video, but someone confirmed and was like, this is my best friend. I've seen the video with my own two eyes like that. And so she saw that post and panicked and that's when they made the announcement. Okay. But so she's confirming it without, but the pictures of them like very close together. I'm not talking about the video through someone's window, which is creepy. Yeah, I don't, I mean like draw your blinds. I guess there was like no real content of them though. It was only speculation, but it wasn't, weren't they holding hands in public like weren't they After, after the, after the statement. Oh, okay. So that's what, but it was like, you're clearly like you, the only reason you came out with the statement is because you pan because you saw that you caught. Caught. But don't act like it's like, I didn't wanna deny it. You did already deny it to a few cast members when it first came out. So what? You don't get to choose who you like. Fuck off Amanda. Yeah. Fuck off. You get to choose who you have sex with. Yep. That's what you do get to do. Yep. You get to choose when and where you have sex with someone. And it was not the time, the place or the person or the decency also just to get to your mind. Just eat it though. You get to get your mind to like look at someone and be like, oh, I'd be attracted to them with that. And like, I just couldn't even get myself to feel that way or think those thoughts. I think any single man who has had sex with my friends is vile. I would agree. Or they're married to them and they're like my best pals. Actually, that's not true. And anyone, anyone they're married to or have dated that we still get along with. They're buddies to me. Like I don't even, I don't picture it. I don't think about it. I could never even get there. To your point, yeah. Those thoughts to that level to be like, I wanna be with this person, supposed to be celibate. I will kick you. Also, she had had sex with with her own husband for years before they got divorced. Please Paul, please like be so for real. Sobar, I'm pausing my rest of my thoughts of what we need to talk about because I still need to ask you about your weekend and I would've kept going, so. Oh no, we can, no, because we can talk about them after, but like, I just wanna hear about you. Oh, okay. I want you to talk about you. So it's been three weeks since I last saw you, which is rare for us. We don't usually go that long. That is a weird time. Unless I'm out of the country, which I have not been. Erin and I went to New York City mm-hmm. For the night. It was amazing. We saw the last five years. I surprised Erin with like second row tickets. It was Ben Plat and Rachel Zeer. They are so fucking talented. We had the best time. We had the best time. I am an Amtrak girl. When's the last time you took the Amtrak? So never. But I actually might soon, Colleen. You will love it. First of all, first the fuck of all, if you upgrade and it's not that crazy to upgrade the com AST coziest seats, wifi works brilliantly. So we both worked from the train. Mm-hmm. There's a cafeteria cart. You can get food. You can get alcohol, you can get whatever you want. No one bothers you. There's no TSA. There's no security. You literally roll up with your bag in 10 minutes before the train leaves. They tell you which one you're leaving from, and it leaves on time every time, regardless of people are on it or off it. Huh? It runs like a well-oiled machine. There are no delays, or at least the two times we took it in 24 hours. So take that with a grain of salt, but like we just had no issues. It was so easy. It was smooth. It was smooth to the point where I was like, oh, this is so much better than a flight. Huh. And I fly often and I was just like, this was so e It wasn't overstimulating like the airport. Huh? It just wasn't. We left first thing in the morning, so keep that. I mean, I'm sure if you took it at 5:30 PM at cell station, so I'm sure it'd be crazy, but I just preferred it. You, there was so much leg room, there was so much place to put your shit. I was like, I can work from here. I don't know, I just really loved it. I was like, am I in Amtrak early? Has she transferred over? Apparently we went to Capri for Paula's birthday. We got Okay. Caesar salad. Naturally you had to the honey buns in truffle fries to split and then for dinner I got chicken parm olive vodka because he was like, one of the things we do the best is the chicken piccata in any like pasta, but get it olive vodka. So I got chicken parm olive vodka. This is the best meal I've had in a very long time. Mm-hmm. It is 1000% worth the hype. Stop whatever you're doing and find a night to go to Capri. The chicken parm was$28. It like it was expensive because it's a good size though. Well it was Paul's birthday so we all split her stuff. Mm-hmm. So it was like kind of expensive, but just to go and split with someone, it's worth the ambiance, the taste, the experience by the bar all lit up. So cute, so fucking cute people. Did you go downstairs or upstairs? We were upstairs, but I went downstairs to go to the bathroom. Did you look at the room downstairs? Yes. So they do people, you can book that out for like a certain amount of money for engagement photos. It's the only thing I've ever I've ever wanted in my whole life. In all of the pictures on the wall are like famous people in Italy in Capri eating pasta. It's just so beautiful, so stunning. So affordable. Question mark. Like for upscale food and experience. Yeah. They did have an hour and a half limit on the table, but they let us stay past and they didn't give us a hard time about it. I think they do it so you, I think it's in the summer you have like a pre, like, you're like, oh. You know what I mean? But they don't actually like kick you out. Yeah. The o the thing I've never heard of, they made us order everything at once, which I'm assuming is the same thing. So you don't take forever for apps and forever for dinner. He was like, when you are ready to order any of the meals, you have to tell me all at once. And I was like, oh, okay. Mm-hmm. Which like totally fine by me. I'm That's cool. The cocktails were amazing. The ambiance was amazing. A hundred percent worth the hype. I cannot stress that enough. I have been dreaming about the honey butter buns since the moment I walked outta there. Oh, cool. If we weren't going out after I would've gotten stuff to go and put it in the fridge. Yeah. That's how obsessed I was. We all couldn't stop talking about it. What'd you after? So we ended up going to Club Cafe'cause we wanted a pussy pop with the gaze. Yeah. However, it was Friday night, and I did not know this, but they do a RuPaul Drag Race night and when the season is on they play it. So people were like eating dinner at tables, watching tv. Got it. And we were like, oh, this isn't the vibe. Yeah. No, because at first I was like, why do we go to JJ Foley's?'cause it's right there. Mm-hmm. But that wasn't really the vibe we were looking for. We ended up at Scholars randomly. I have not, scholars is a good time, but Youngies, so yeah. We, we tried to get into Carrie Nation, but they were shut down for a bridal party situation. That's kind of cool. Yeah. They had it from like eight to 10 30 or something. Like, side note, while you're talking about Carrie Nation, Cho took her my friend Cho took her engagement photos in the speakeasy. Yes, I saw that. Isn't that so cool? I saw. That's so cool. That's awesome. So cool. So we went to that place across the street. Super cute cocktail bar. Oh, Rox. Yes. And then we ended up at Scholars and we pussy popped for a little bit and then we went home. It was great. We got a little bit of everything. Happy birthday Paula. Happy Daddy birthday po one of my friends has a birthday. Had a birthday party recently and I have to tell you about it. Okay. Her name is Lexi. We love Lexi. We die for Lexi Dips and Dirties A dream. The theme was dips and dirties and everyone brought a dip and they had a dirty martini bar and an espresso martini bar in all of the teeny bars. And I was like, you would love this. Colleen would love this. Everyone brought a dip. Some people bought, brought dessert dips. I brought like the French onion dip. Someone brought a Triple Dipper from Chili's. So smart. So smart. And so we all got to vote on who was the best dip and they won a prize. It was so much fun. I love that dips and dirties. I was like, that is so fucking cute. We should all be doing that. I love that. I also frequent frequently see, which I have no time to ever do this. Not time, but like, no reason to ever do this. But weenies and teenies. Oh, dogs and martinis. Yep. Weenies and teenies. Right? Why haven't we done that? I don't know. Maybe we do that for our four year anniversary for the pod. Okay. Weenies and teenies. Weenies and teenies. I love that. For us. No notes. I saw Heather McMahon live in Steph Tole. Steph Tole. I went with my, one of my best friends. Rosie had me like nearly pissing my pants. Really? So fucking funny. Like one of the funniest shows I've ever seen, if not the funniest standup I've ever seen. Really, we were busting a gut. Like I was like, I have a cramp and my face hurts. I was laughing so hard. We then saw Heather McMahon, Leanne went, we bought tickets months ago. It was after an entire work trip. Like I was gone Sunday to Thursday night and it was Friday night, so we were a little sleepy. Mm-hmm. Because she had a long week too. And we were at the Schubert, the box center. It's right across the street from the Wang in Boston. We were in the last row and we couldn't hear. Oh. So like that was kind of a bummer because the first two comedians sounded mumbled. Yikes. And then she went on and she projects way more so we could hear, but not well. So like I had a great time. She's a, I mean, she's one of us. Like truly. Yeah. She just reminds me of you. And Erin had a baby because she loves college football. She loves golf, but she's just like a southern girl who wants to like smoke cigs and drink a diet coke. Like she's just that bitch. Love that energy. Yeah. So I loved her though, even though I could barely hear her. I loved her. I got my hair cut. I was in San Francisco, it rained and was 50 degrees all week. I was like, this is not why I fly to San Francisco. Yeah, that's not fly. Who the fuck cheats on Megan the stallion? Who? Someone did the fuck? Clay Thompson. Oh, I didn't know that. Cheated on Megan the stallion. Imagine dating the hottest human being on the planet and actively cheating on them. Huh? He said he got cold feet. Oh, that's he. And he didn't know what he wanted anymore. Does anybody, does any man know what the fuck? I swear to God, all men start in prison. Okay, hear me out. They all start in prison and they have to work their way out of it. They're all guilty. And then they have to work their way to innocence. Okay? And, and they have to like out says who you are, help women give birth. Oh, like they have to do tasks. Yeah, they have to. There's like a, like check boxes. Yes. There, there's like a big boss at the end. A final boss. Yeah. It's like a woman free bleeding. I don't know. I'm just saying they have to work their way into the world because I'm so sick of this shit. Yeah, that's right. Who cheats on Megan? The stallion an idiot. Ah, you're Clay Thompson. You are trash. You know what I just real was thinking of, I was like, where have I seen her recently? I watched that movie that's on Netflix right now that just came out. That's Adam Sandler's daughter is starring in it. Roommates. It's very like, oh, I haven't seen it. Comedy. It's like on the top 10 right now. Okay. She's actually not terrible. It's, it's, it's all nepo babies. Like I've seen like four TikTok, tiktoks being like every single person in the movie is an Nepo baby. Oh, that's crazy. Did you? But it wasn't terrible. But she has a cameo at the end. Meg Thee Stallion does. Oh really? Yeah. Oh, good. Basically the character Adam Taylor's daughter goes to prison at the end. It's like kind of funny. It's like not serious. Obviously. It's very Adam Sandler movie esque and she's her. Oh my god. In prison. How funny. Yeah. Have you seen big mistakes? No. With Dan Levy? No. So funny. I have. You would like it. You would've seen it though. Yeah, I think you would like it. It's like really silly, but there's like a crime aspect to it. I think you'd really like it. I won't. Okay. Rachel? I wrote it with Dan Levy. It's, you can tell they wrote it like, it sounds like the two of them. I feel like there's nothing that he could do that I wouldn't like. Yeah. Amen. Back to you girl. That's what you had for me. Yeah. Really? I just, I just don't like shut the fuck up, huh? I mean, well, for an entire week I was at work. Yeah, that's true. I really didn't have anything to Oh, we did my dad's party. Yeah. My dad's been dead for a year. A year. Oh yeah. It feels like a year. A, I was gonna say a decade and 10 years. My dad has been dead for 10 years as of April 12th and his birthday is April 18th, which was really rude of him.'cause he basically made the whole month shit. Yeah, that's bullshit. Shout out to Paul's birthday for really getting there and making things fun. And we all went to an Irish bar and we popped our pussies and all the cousins had the best time we did. We honestly like ignored the elders. Yeah. And you brought John, which was great. Yeah. And he met some, I mean, I feel like he knows everybody at this point, but he met a few cousins. He hasn't met yet. Yep. And we just had a great time. And then we went to an after party at Aaron's house and everyone stopped and got booze and we like half behaved ourselves, but like half didn't. Mm-hmm. And it felt good. It was peaceful. Like it was not, it was, yeah. Like we, like genuinely had a good time. I thought everyone would be upset. Yeah. I don't know why. We would never let that happen though. No, but you know what I mean. Sometimes with the, these Irish Catholics, they just wanna like mourn. Yeah. They just wanna cry and like talk about things and I was like,'cause we're taking shit back. Yeah. And I was like, no, I just kinda wanna have fun with my cousins and you know, Kiki with the girls. Yeah. Just wanna like hang, hang with the party people. Yeah. And that's what we did. We had a grand old time. The girls and the twins. Yeah. The girls. And the girls. And the twins. And the elders and Rudy Poppa. Yeah. Rudy pop my see stopping because I think about him. I know he doesn't look good. Stop. He's fine. I had to leave him outside though for a little while. I did text Aaron and I was like, I did have to pee so badly at your home that I did pee outside. And she said it's fine. Claire does the same thing. So Claire and I we're santigo. It was, it was weird being at their house without the kids there. Yeah. I was kinda like, what do you mean it's quiet? I babysat one night. My bitties are good. They've called me a few times because they forgot I was in San Francisco and I was like, guys, I'm coming back. I swear I didn't abandon you. Yeah, I did not abandon you. I swear I will come back and, and come play chess with you soon. But yeah, that's it. Okay. I feel like I've done a lot. I have not had one night to not do a single thing in about three and a half weeks. So I do eventually need that. Yeah, me too. And I have something every night this week too. Me free will. So yeah. I just need one night where I don't, I was even asked on a date this week and I was like, no, that's my rot night. Sorry. Sorry. That's my date with Meh. Me and myself and I, I sound like, you know, when the Grinch is doing his schedule for the night. Mm-hmm. Let's start again. Justise, six o'clock dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. Self loathing. I'm booked. Anyway, so what's new? What else do you got for me? We have to talk about Alex versus Alex. Why? We don't want to, I just like, are you not for the girl? Young, girly slander. Is that a problem? Yeah. Okay. How'd you know that's where I was gonna go. I just knew it because it's just exactly where, it's just you. I just like, we have just so many bigger problems to deal with. Hmm. Like Amanda Petula deserves it. That's fair. Wes deserves it. Kyle Cook deserves it. But Amanda, I mean, Amanda, Alex Cooper might, I don't know. I don't know. I don't either because I don't have both sides. Sides this. I'll talk about this. I think I just prefer the silence, so I just prefer that she's taking the silent route. So she's not, she's waiting From what I hear for her show, she's, yeah, she's coming out with it and making it on her show, and then everyone's like, why are you so quiet? You're getting your story together. Like, innocent people don't need time to get there. And I'm like, no, EV. Even if they're both, I could see that too. But also she, I think she was recording the show before this. Yeah. I think she's being really smart. She's being a really smart business woman. I'm assuming You mean Alex Earl, right? She hasn't responded yet. Yes. I think Alex Earl is waiting for the most opportune time for herself to come out with this news. And I think she was told by her team to do that and to not just like make a TikTok about it. Yeah. And get the streams like focus it all towards your show. Yeah. And now she's getting slack for staying silent too long. Who fucking cares? Yes. Two beautiful millionaire white woman, both named Alex. Don't like each other. That's, that's it. Full stop. I feel, I just wanna know why. I just wanna, what the reason is and I'm sure Alex Earl, because apparently she has very good reason. Like a lot of people have said, we'll wait for her to come out and say it. But yeah, I'm calling Alex Cooper. An ambulance chaser though is not wrong. Yeah. However, I can't really say much about that.'cause it's also like, oh, I'm, I love when you post, like you bring somebody on that like. Or I see clips of you interviewing somebody that is so avid in the news and like I wanna know something about like if you are actually getting the team. I like the way she interviews. I know. So I like when she has those people on.'cause I feel like they're more, more open and honest with her. But it's not even like her, I guess it's like her team, whoever gets her on, they move really quickly when it's somebody's like worst day their lives. Yeah, of course. Because that's how she gets her views. No, I know. But at the same time, like, yeah, but you like talk about all of how she's like, so for women and like Yeah. You feel like it's a contradiction. Do you know what I'm trying to say? Yeah. It's for herself, at the end of the day, she's more for herself than other women. Yeah. Is what you're saying. But nevertheless, either one of them, whatever, it doesn't matter. But have you seen about Matt Kaplan? All the shit coming out about Matt Kaplan? Who is Matt Kaplan? Her husband Alex Cooper's husband. Oh, I just knew his name was Matt. Apparently he's a big fat freak. Like everyone from, you know, when there's smoke, there's fire. He runs unwell network. Right, right. Like that's like their the thing job. Yeah. And there's been so many different, I'm getting most of my news from TikTok anyways, but it's people coming on and being like, wait, I interviewed for a job at unwell, like their creative marketing director with him, and I've never felt worn uncomfortable. He was so unprofessional. What? You'll fall in a rabbit hole once you go look. That speaks for itself. I'm might even like go like more into it, but like. Crazy people hate him. He's actually apparently a piece of shit. So many, I've seen so much shit about him. I love that you called him a big fat freak. I thought you were gonna be like, he has a, some crazy fetish. And he like, no. Like this girl. I've seen two separate ones. Big fat freak. He's a big fat freak. Like, I saw, like I said, I watched this one really long TikTok about this girl going through the entire interview process with him. And then I looked at the comments and someone else was like, I interviewed for this exact same position and I had the exact same experience and thought I was one of one. Like, I'm like, DMing you. Like this was crazy. Like there's just, do you know what's so funny? The other day I was at a family party with all my besties, which is a family party to me. And one of the father-in-laws was talking about Mike Rebel and Oh, he's on my list too. Don't worry if you're not from Boston and you don't care. Mike Rebel, who is the Patriot's head coach, was a seen with a woman. Mm-hmm. They are both married. This woman is a reporter for the New York Times. And they've worked together on things for years. She's a reporter, she's obviously done her job for a very long time and they've been having an alleged affair for a while, and one of the guys at the party was like, why do rich people think they can get away with this? Yeah. Like, why do famous people think you can go to like this Love Shack boutique in the fucking desert and someone's not gonna wanna take a picture of you. Yeah. When you're, you are a pa, the New England Patriots head coach with a reporter who's clearly not your wife with a quick Google search. Yep. Also, of course, his wife is a breast cancer survivor. Breast cancer survivor. It's just all bad. It's just all bad. Yeah. And I'm like, do you know what's interesting? You don't even have to be famous anymore. How many times have you been on TikTok? And a girl goes, oh my God, met this guy the other night. Can someone help me find him? We hit it off like me. Cute. We're so in love with on the night. Are we getting the same guy on Facebook and it's like, Hey, by the way, he's married and a father of three. Yeah. I mean, I saw a girl the other day on TikTok. Oh. I was sitting at a restaurant next to a table of men who were discussing how to cheat on their wives. Here is the time, here was the place and here is what they looked like. And they were immediately found. You are not safe. No, you're not safe. I personally know a girl that is seeing, seeing slash I dunno, currently still is, but as far as I'm aware, they still are seeing a man that is fully married with a wife and children and the wife does not know. And it's just like, who do you think What? Yeah, we'll talk about it after, but I'm just saying like the fact that like you think like the wife just is sitting pretty at home, like you're fucked up. That's crazy. I mean, I hate that for so many reasons. Yeah. Also, my other, me and John were talking about this the other day because that picture that came out from that was like, I've allegedly six years prior or whatever. So this has been going on for a while with what's his name? Mm. You're telling me the wife doesn't know. Six years. I don't know. That have gotten away with a lot worse. I don't know. Well, I mean, I guess every girl is kind of different and I'm just saying it like, I would know, like, you know, but if someone you share every waking minute with of your life, you do not know. I don't know. Maybe you, you don't have an inkling, you don't have any I don't, I don't think of it that way. I just think they're both shitty people. No, I do too. I get divorce too, but I'm saying like there's no way the wife didn't have an inkling, like, not, not that that, that makes anything better. I'm just, I'm just saying like. I will say one time I know someone who tried to hire a private investigator to catch their spouse cheating and the private investigator said, can I just save you a lot of money?'cause they were family friends. Yeah. If you have to hire me, you already know the answer. That's correct. You, you just want me to get proof. Yeah. But just know I will. Mm. If you're worried, then I will. And they were like, okay. And now some people need that so they can confront the person and be like, don't guess likes facts know this is happenings. Yeah. It's fucking messy. It's messy. What's so unfortunate about him just kept divorce is I really like him. I know he's so hot. Also, really, he's just like so good with the team. He's so good with the guys. Every time he starts his. Press conference. He starts with that woman reporter. I just think he does a lot of things right. It's like we can never have nice things. I know. They ruin everything. They just have to ruin. Put them all in prison. They gotta work their way out. Yeah, they suck. I agree with you. Get an epidural then come talk to me. Assholes. Any who? Ella Langley has a new album. I love her. I die for her. Everyone fucking go listen to it. Okay. Coachella. Okay. I'm done. I'm done. Bridget. I'm done. We have Ruined Society the way that Whole Ass Madonna comes out with Sabrina Carpenter in. All you can see is people's phones. No one is dancing. No, no one's clapping. At one point, Madonna literally puts her hands together and starts a clap because everyone is just frozen. It looked generated. Yeah, like it looked like a bunch of aliens. Put your fucking phones down and. Enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. No, people don't do that. And I, I know you don't like Tana Mojo. I really like her. I, I don't hate her. I just feel indifferent about her. I really like her. She got on and she loves Justin Bieber. She's like a hardcore believer. Oh, well, well we'll get into that one. And she said she heard influencers being like, I don't care what we need to do. I, I don't care if people die. Like I will rush the stage to see, and, and just joking about like murdering people to see him. And she's like, we've lost the plot. Like all of you are ruining this for everyone. The brand trips have ruined it. The influencers have ruined it. Yeah. Music is not supposed to be unattainable. It's not supposed to be an elite status thing. It's not So you can wear the cutest outfit. It's not a fashion trend. Music is meant to bring people together for a joint. Wonderful experience. Music is like the best thing on the planet. It's the one thing that we all have in common is music. Yeah. You could literally load someone. A song could come on you both like, and it will bond you for that two minutes and 30 seconds. You have no choice. Put your fucking phones down. Can can we just, not to sound like a crunchy granola, grab the crystals, but like, can we be present for five seconds? And watch this absolute superstar. Sabrina Wood was so cool. Yeah. Like she wrote the car, like how it looked like Hollywood. I mean, it just looked so fucking cool. Yeah, I agree. I will like I talking about like nonverbal time and like shit like that, but like I can see there's, there's a difference. Do you know what I mean? Like, I hate the brand trips. It's so bad. It's too much. And I get that people like need to get their marketing somewhere, but like Please, I think we've just put money and now I'm going on a little. Please. I'll stop. I'll just like the branding, we we're all trying to get the bag now and now that people have found a way to get the bag is to just be an obnoxious influencer. Everyone be doing it. It's ruin society. Everybody be doing it anyway. Everyone fucking be doing it. It's so annoying. Like here we are in corporate America and someone's just like flashing a photo of their fucking get ready with me for my third day in Ella. I've, I've had it also, you people, you're telling me you are comfortable shoe wear. You're like, oh, well there you have to be on drugs. No, I don't think There aren't drugs.

Like did he, when did he forget talking the lyrics out and then he started to sing. Yeah, like, and he, I guess he just like heard how excited everyone was. So we like picked it up a few few, like he's fine. Dude, he's, he's been fine. I don't know about that, Colleen. I don't think he's fine. He's fine. He was a little punk, 16-year-old and now he just like had a moment and now he's like back. Great. I don't know. Someone ain't right. Someone pull up your pants. Pull up your pants. Yeah, I don't get that. No, I won't understand that. A little Bieber. Did you see Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz are engaged? I did that. I did. Cray cray. Yeah, they would have beautiful babies. I'm just like really angry about Coachella, what else would you like to say? I dunno, what else would you like to get off your chest? The stage coach people would never, and you know what? Post Malone was seeing? Courtesy of the red, white, and blue at fucking stage Coach. And what do we have over here? Phones up. Be Ella. You sound like you're in the goofy movie. That's, I was literally going for goofy. Yeah, I was like, that's It's gotta be a different tone. Come on. Oh my God. That song is such a b Yeah. No it is. Okay. We sound like we're on crack cocaine. We need to reel it in. No, but that's made feel what's next on your list? That made me feel really good, but I was looking at my list. Okay. On the next one. Okay. Stassy Schroeder is coming out with a TV show and I could not be happier about it. I'm so happy for you. The bitch deserves a platform and I get it. People are like, she was canceled. Everyone was fucking canceled. I could've gotten canceled. Okay. It's fine. I'm shocked. You haven't been so far. To be totally honest, I'm everyone give girl, give the girl a break. Gleb, you didn't see Gleb talking about Brooks Nader? We have different tiktoks. I like don't know how to tell you. I, I'm not on dancing with the Star stuff. Okay. I am excited for Higgins and Sierra Miller. Couldn't be happier about this. Love that. So Gleb was on whatever fucking show Alex Cooper created. Oh, so what kind of fucking stupid name is Gleb? He's from a different country. Oh, okay. That makes more sense. Gl some something or other. I don't know. Great. He was on whatever show that Alex Cooper created through Unwell Network that has basically like every hated person on, on. It's like Hood is on it from Love Island. Ew. De Me from Mormon Wives. Oh. Dakota from Mormon. Like, it's just people that like suck essentially the villains of the season if, if you will. Yeah. How that shelter's on it, like a bunch of random fucking people that people are controversial slash don't like. Got it. That much. Got it. Understood. So he's on the show and they're filming him. Talk to Dakota Taylor, Frankie Paul's baby daddy, and he's talking about Brooks and he's like, yeah, she's the worst sex I've ever had. Mind you on the show on love Thy Nader and Dancing With the Stars, they were, there never seemed a set of people more obsessed with each other, like making out in front of her parents, like disgustingly all over each other. And he is like, she was like, said multiple horrible things about her. And then was like, well, the worst sex I I've ever had in my whole life. On television. Is that not crazy? Isn't she like stunningly beautiful? She said Yes. Go look at her. The the, it hurts to look at her. The guy in love is blinded this too. Mm-hmm. Where, when confronted about why he was such a piece of shit, it was like, oh, she was bad in bed. It's like, why? Maybe you are. It's like fat, ugly bitch bat in bed. Are their only go insults? I don't get it. I don't get it. I think she's moving silently as she should. Yeah. Wow. What a piece of shit. Is that what people call being the bigger person? Yeah. Or she's biting her time, which either one I'm a fan of. Okay. I don't think men realize when they say that, it only makes them look bad. Like maybe other men are like, oh dude, that's sick. Women are like, Ew. Like, does he think that we're watching that? And being like, damn, that makes sense. She, I bet she does suck. Yeah. I just feel like maybe men just want other men's approval and so they're like, I just wanna do it for the boys. When I, every woman, I know if you said out loud to them about any person you've dated, she was the worst in be, they'd be like, Ew, you're dead. But also like you're saying it to a man who is, has a baby mother that beat him up and is mentally unstable. So like, it's just like, why you Yeah. Both can just be put in a box. I was gonna say shoot them into the sun. Yeah. Like it's just, okay, it's giving. Like why? Why do either of you have a fucking platform? How about that? Let's start there. You know who put them on the platform? Alex Cooper. Let's take the mics away. Before we put them in prison. Can we take the mics away? Oh God. That's all I had. I swear. What was the manic thought? Which one was the manic one? Oh, my manic thoughts were the topic of the day because the topic of the day is super random. I got some inspo from my Ho Hogan documentary that I watched which is only really interesting because of the fact that they filmed it right before he died, because it was just gonna be a documentary about him. But it just happens to be that he croaked right after. And it's a little bit of a BTS behind the scenes. The man's a, a wackadoo, as is his wife. Give it a watch if you're in for a gig. I dunno. Little giggle. Okay. Just give it a watch. Great. Anyways, so picture this, it is mid 1940s in rural France. Fuck, not Paris. Not cafes, not croissants, but like straight up farmland. Okay. Open fields, long dirt roads, not a lot of baths being had. How does this come back to Hulk Ka Hogan? It'll get there. Uh, Not running water, none of that shit. And it's a place, you know, for rural, rural France that everybody knows everybody and nothing really changes. Okay. A lot of farms. Not much happening. Mm. This is where our story starts. We're in a very small farming town called Mulian, and we're surrounded by a really hardworking, no frills family. Just trying to get by because apparently it's World War ii. I couldn't tell you that. Yeah. Tough time. Tough time to be alive. And in 1946, this family welcomes a baby boy and his name is Andre Renee Ov. Oh, okay. At birth, he's completely normal. He's a healthy baby. Just to this farm fan. Andre the fucking giant. Yeah. Are we doing Andre the fucking giant right now? Yeah. What is wrong with you? Because you know what I, you know what stuck in my head is because whenever you're like, have you ever just like thought about something and like wondered more about it? Like do things like that? And I was like, right. I ask a lot of questions about a lot of things. So obviously I was watching Stock Pat. I'm like, who the fuck is this barbaric man with his pubes hanging out the side of this outfit and why does he look inbred? And I just needed to know, and I'm assuming that other people wanna know as well, this is the story of who are so mentally ill. I do appreciate I have told you that when you're like, what topic should I do? I'm like, think of the things you're interested in and light bulb and then research them. Light bulb. Who is this man? Not the inbred with the pubes. They were staring at me. Okay. I, I'm scared to say this, but please continue. Well, also, I, when I was watching the doc, I forgot that like Hulk Hogan is actually very tall. Like, he's like six nine. No, I know. I'm not gonna keep talking about him. I'm just saying like to, I'm sorry, I rolled my eyes for those of you can't see me and he's dead. Whatever. It's fine. This man Andre the next to him, I was like, holy fucking shit. And I was like, wait, he really is. He'd be a giant. So I just wanted to know why. Great. So here we are. We're back. We're back to World France. He's a normal baby in World War ii, rural France. Yeah. He was birthed a normal baby on the farm. How, how big were we talking? Like average? I don't know, like eight, eight pounds. Seven pounds. Six, seven ounces. I don't fucking know. Average size, whatever. Average is those back in the 1940s? I don't know if they're around. I don't fucking know. I didn't even know World War II was happening. Great. There was nothing, there was nothing about him that would make you stop and say like, this child's about to be something, you know? Mm-hmm. Grows up in that working class, farming family, early mornings, a lot of physical labor, simple life, structured life. They weren't wealthy, they weren't connected. There was no like big dreams of fame like Hulk Hogan had. He's like, I wanna be famous. You know, none of this for Mr. Andre. He lives a life, can't believe we're doing Andre in the giant. So I'm talking about Andre like that. Andre lives a life in his current moment where his future is decided he's gonna be a farmer, he's gonna work, he's gonna help the fam and he's not gonna leave rural France. Aw. Bless him. And for a while, that's what he does. He makes an honest living. To give you an understanding of how normal his early life felt, he actually helped a local contractor named Samuel Beckett come to find out. That might not ring a bell for me. It di for you? It didn't for me. He's apparently some wicked famous Irish novelist and like a Nobel Peace Prize winner, like big deal across the pond. Oh, okay. Cool. But he was so normal at one point that he was, Sam Beckett was just like a contractor in the local area and he was helping him do manual labor on his construction projects before he was a novelist. So just think like two guys working and at the time no one realized that one of them would be like this huge global icon novelist and the other one would become a literal legend of human existence. Think about that. Wow. Well put, yeah. Asked chat. I was like, how would you describe the scenario, which I do great job chat for most things. Gotta give her credit. It's not me think I'm not smart, please. Because if it was me, it'd be like these two bitches popping off in the fields in their busies. And he writes books, writes books or something. So then something starts happening to Andre. Slow at first and then honestly not that slow at all. So around 10 he begins growing at a rate that is alarming. And it's not like, oh, he is tall for his age. You know, he is towering over adults. He's outgrowing clothes. He cannot fit into the world around him like very much buddy. The elf, I legitimately was just picturing buddy the elf in the shower and he's like 10. Oh the poor thing. Oh my God. He was probably in pain. Yes, he was. Oh, he was. So at age, by age 12, he's over six feet tall. Oh, 12. 12. He's tower like think about that. In the classroom. No, no literal, no. It's Buddy the elf. What's your favorite color? A 12-year-old. Imagine being the teacher, you're like, whoa, I'm sc I feel fear. You're like, why is this 40-year-old man in my class? Inbred man. Like this man has pubes. For sure, and they're staring at me in the eye. He definitely has a U to brow too. Bless him. Okay, so you can borrow your buzzer. Yeah, I have plenty. I have two different heads on it. One for those thick bitches, one's for brows, one's for bushes, and mind your fucking business about it. Okay. And you need to use the bush one on your brows. That's fine too. One ones for brows and ones for bush. It is, it's like this actually over in my purse. I was doing it in the car because let me tell you, the car ride to work with that natural light really gets you a bushel and a peck bushel and a peck ain a bush, no mo. So his 12-year-old ass lanky ass walking into a classroom, he's bigger than every teacher and no one, because again, it's 1940s and rural France, no one is explaining this to him. So he's just like, I'm a big boy. But really what's happening to him is this condition called Cro Maley. Magali, sorry, acro magali. And it's where the body produces too much growth hormone than the average person. But again, small French village, it's now the 1950s. There's no person stepping in with like, here's what's happening to your body and giving you a treatment plan. They're just kind of like, okay, tea, you're big. Keep growing, you know, no one cares. Mm-hmm. So this is where it starts to get a little sad. Oh, because being different at that level and at that age. Oh, even in this rural time, oh my God, it makes me so sad for him. Yeah. He's, he's can't keep up. It's not that he can't keep up mentally, he just physically doesn't belong there. Like, desks don't fit. He doesn't fit in the desk at school. Bridget, this poor fucking kid, he can't get in transportation. Like, there's not a horse, there's not a car, there's not, there's nothing that fits him. Like being in a public space is like too much for him. It's overwhelming all the time. Yeah. He's like, people are staring at me. I don't fit in. So like what do I do? Oh, when you're a kid, you're a teenager. That's all you wanna do is fit in. And especially when you're fucking almost seven feet tall and you're 12. That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. So he leaves school, I'd be sitting on everyone give your lunch money. So that's the, I will sit on. He's not like that. I know. He's like a sweet angel, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah. So he leaves school because he can't handle it. It's like not a rebellious thing. He's just like, there's no place for me here. I have to go. Oh my God. That's heartbreaking. He's a teenager now and he's fucking massive. And he's trying to figure out like, what is life for me? What do I do? Basketball. Basketball is my favorite sport. I like the way they, no, he's built for like giant rugby. Like I, I don't even know. Like in Ella Enchanted in giant ville, one of one of the 10 movies you referenced. It's like if they put him in giant ville. And put him on like the professional rugby team for Giant Bill, like represent, like that would be perfect for him. But it's not, that's not, that doesn't exist because Ellen Chan is a movie. When he gets to hang out with Hagrid in the forbidden forest with bulk break. So he goes to manual labor as one does farm work. Boy was built for the farm. Yeah. Moving heavy materials construction. And honestly, he's useful, he's strong. He does the work of multiple men in one and then someone sees him not just as the big boy from the village, but as something else. Something bigger. Ha, get it. Just kidding. He gets introduced into the world of professional wrestling. And here's the thing. At the time, wrestling is a theatrical thing. It's like not real obviously. It's still not now I was gonna say, it's still not real. No, I know. But when he walks into this world, it's like, okay, this is built for me. This might be the tea for me because for the first time in his life when he sees it, it's being different isn't really a problem. It's actually like the whole point. It's the solution to his problems. Yeah. It's like the entire. Storyline of The Greatest Showman is all the people who join the circus who don't fit in. Yeah. So this is like him finding his circus. Yeah. Go find your circus, Andre. And this is where he legit becomes Andre the Giant. Oh my gosh. We're stepping into a completely different version of our dear Andre's life. It's taking a turn. Things are up. He is. He's slaying. Everything flips. And for the first time ever, his size, his difference, the things that made him feel out of place, his entire childhood becomes the reason he belongs. Okay. Shout out Chachi PT for that one. Oh, that's really nice. Yep. Promoters don't try to hide him. They don't try to make him normal. They kind of lean in and they start calling him the eighth Wonder of the world. Okay. Well, I guess if you gotta make money in a positive note, I guess it's not like, look at this freak show. It's look at this king, this eighth wonder world. Give us your money so you can look at him when they see him. He didn't feel real because you know, he's over seven feet tall at this point. He's over 400 pounds and his hands are the size of dinner plates. He's over 400 pounds. I think he eats almost five by the time he is. Yeah, I don't know why.'cause I guess like a 300 pound, six foot five person. Yeah. That's crazy. Because of the height. You wouldn't really realize I was gonna, that's what I mean. The weight's not as alarming if you're that tall. Right. That's exactly how I was saying. However, it still is also the hands being the size of a dinner plate. A 12 inch dinner plate. Yeah. You pick up a basketball and it looks like a baseball. That's crazy. That's crazy. So. He wasn't just like a US thing or a France thing. He becomes like this whole international pop sensation, if you will. Japan was obsessed with him. Europe, obsessed North America, creaming North America was creaming and this was before social media, obviously. It's the 1940s. We had like wooden wheels. He's in the, not the wooden wagons enough with the wooden wagons. Do we have cars in the 1940s? Yeah, but super old fashioned obviously. Like there were no, probably no doors or anything. There were doors, Colleen doors. I'm thinking like Flintstones. No, it's all like the little kid cars now where your feet are on the ground. No, they had cars. You want a tick? Whatever. Well, whatever. They don't have fucking social media, so there's no viral videos. It's not like, it's like people saying like, have you heard of Andre the Giant? And like you don't believe it until you see it kind of thing. This is a car in the 1940s. Oh, okay, that's fine. Like think Bonnie and Clyde. Oh, okay. Cool. That's fine. I accept that. Like the old like be, be like that old horn, whatever. I would like wooden wheels though. Like very Gatsby. It's not wooden. You need to get off of this hyper fixation. It's it, yeah. It's giving Gatsby. It's giving Gatsby. I'll give you that. Thank you. My Lord Daisy. Anyways, so people are, it's word of mouth. People are like, have you seen under the giant? And the guy's like, no, I haven't seen'em. But there's no social media, so it's like, where are we gonna look? You have to buy tickets to see the show, to see if it's real, essentially. Word of mouth is spreading to other countries like Europe. Like I said, the Japanese loved him. Yeah, I love that. For him, maybe like sumo wrestling. Listen, if you're gonna be out of place and you're gonna feel awkward and uncomfortable your whole life, you might as well make a living off of it. A hundred percent. Get that bread. My guy. Yeah. Mr. Andre. So something a lot of people don't think about.'cause they're all very like, welcome to the Freak Show. This guy's crazy. Wow. Exciting. When you look like that, what does everyday life look like for you? Because the world still isn't built for him. Like wrestling is, but the world is not. Airplanes. Forget about it. Cars, beds, cars. You can't get in a car. Bridget. He cannot get in a vehicle. Vehicle. Yeah. And like just sleeping beds. Yeah. Hotel beds not a thing. So traveling for him, very tough. And there are stories of him having to sit across multiple airplane seats. Like he had to buy like three sets of seats at a time. Oh, in the, he was rolled into the back of Vans, trucks. Oh my God. In trucks. And he literally couldn't fit through certain doorways. So he's just uncomfortable everywhere. Oh my God. The bed of a truck must have been so nice for him though. Lots of,'cause there's no roof. You get the whole backseat to yourself. But who wants to be put into the back of a truck like cattle? Well, I'm just thinking about the farm boy in the middle of rural France. So now he's trying. Now he's now you WeCh. He's a sensation. Yeah. Put him on the back. Get him in the parade. Yeah, go. Could you go across the pond? Oh, we getting him across the pond. He's gonna be like, need to go on like the UPS plane. Here's the thing about Andre, he was not a complainer. He was a silent king. I was gonna say he was like a sweet baby angel as I remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just like really wholesome. Yeah, he was, we'll get into it, but he really just adapted to his surroundings. He was like, all right, I'll do it. He, at one point, he obviously is famous for his life in the ring or whatever, but another thing that people always talk about that made him kind of famous was his drinking. Oh. Oh, I bet he could. So I, no longer date, but was just dating someone who was six. Six, big boy. And cars. Planes. Like, we were just having this conversation recently about like how uncomfortable life is. He could drink so much because it's just like, where does it go? Because he, they feel nothing that he was like, I could have, I would have to have 10 beers in an hour to feel anything. And like, that's crazy to me, that's also like your, how big is your stomach at that point? Like, I'd be so full. I, because I'm so tiny and small. No, I'd have like three beers and be like, what? Like I'd be belching, like, where, wait, so where y'all putting it? No, the, the man's like, we'll drink like 14 beers. That's so crazy. Which he's not tall, so it's like, I'm just like, where do you put it? He's constantly, yeah. Where does it go? That's why he doesn't eat. And I'm always like, like, gimme a drunk snack. And he's like, I literally can't, so rude. I can't squeeze one more thing in here. Let's just drink of vodka soda. What, how much can Andre drink? Is that what you're about to get to? Yeah. So the, you need to understand the scale here. It's not like we had a few beers after the ring. We had a few beers after work. He's like legendary level conception, like past college, girl binge drinking, spring fling, all of the things. He drinks at the very minimum, like 40 beers in one sitting. There's times of him drinking 40, 60, 80 and there's even a record of him drinking over a hundred in one night. And it's not like over a whole day it's in one sitting at a bar casually sitting. That's so crazy. There's one story where he ordered multiple pitchers at once'cause it was just faster than waiting for refills.'cause it was like a one sip for him. Yeah. I mean we're not talking about a normal sized normal person. No. So like that's obviously crazy, but I just wonder to him like what that was equivalent to. You know what I mean? Yeah. Probably. I feel like 10 be, or a whole pitcher of beer is probably like one beer for a normal person to him. That's crazy. Yeah. If I had to make a comparison not a cheap date. Imagine being man manhandled by him. Oh my God. I couldn't find any old stories of like a woman being like, because I feel like maybe he just like was shy. Oh, you know, he was shy with his little unibrow. He was a little shy. Still insane, still deeply concerning, whatever. There's this story. It's the hotel lobby story, we'll call it. This one was my favorite that I read. And so he's staying in a hotel and after a long night, so he probably had over 60 drinks. Right. He passes out in the lobby. No one can move his body. So he lays down and he's fully asleep on the ground. Oh, one of us. One of us. Yes. Andre. And as you mentioned, no one can move him like physically. No. He's, he's there now. He lives here now. He he becomes part of the rug. Yeah, he's the carpet. They don't call it crane. They don't call the police crane. They don't, they don't pay a tow truck. Whatcha expecting them to do? I mean, no, that you leave him. They put a velvet rope around him. Get the fuck out. Like he's a nightclub. He's an exhibit. Stop. Stop. Like four. So he's in a square? Yeah, no, in the hotel lobby. So people are like, wow, incredible. Like, look at this zoo animal. Like he's a spectacle. Oh, I don't like that. Like it's a museum installation. It's hilarious. But I don't like it. Well, you didn't give a fuck, so it's fine. He's like, do I get 20%? Or like, what are we doing here? Yeah. Can I get tips? Yeah. For real tip. A little tip jar. Yeah. In addition to his drinking his strength was fucking crazy. Not like strength, like as in like I sit down and I break a chair, like he was lifting and moving cars out of the way and breaking objects without trying and being like, whoops. I'm assuming it kind of reminds me at the beginning of Hercules where like Hercules is really clumsy and he's like a teenager. Yeah. And like everyone makes fun of him'cause he like is breaking shit all the time. Is he, I'm assuming one of like a bajillion people who have this thing like No. So yes, but like, no. So here's the thing. Yes. However, not billions. He's probably like, I'd say like one in a million, kind of however. One in million. One in a million. But it's also like healthcare question mark. Is it in the fifties? Genetic? Is it? No, it's a mutation. It's a hormonal mutation. Oh, oh, wow. So it's random. Wow. But it probably isn't like talked about. I also just think it's, it's crazy to live a, you know, your entire childhood being quote unquote normal sized. Mm-hmm. And then hitting a certain point. And then it's just like, I think when your hormones start kicking in, that's when it like. Hit him. That's when it goes downhill for us too, dude. Don't worry. Yeah. But he's also like, not everybody's in the spotlight. Not everybody's like, look at this toll man. And also maybe his was just like extreme. Maybe it's more, it can go under the radar for some people. Look at this toll man. I don't know. Like that. I don't know. Okay. Someone parked a little too close to his car once and he quite literally just flipped the car over like he can Oh, we didn't even move it back. We just tossed it. He can just move it like he can. Just like a flip, like a little, little, like a whisper in the wind. Little like Sure. That's not how we handle inconvenience around here. Okay, so obviously the people hear these stories, right? He's drinking a lot. He's flipping cars. People are like, oh, he must be a scary dude, right? He was so nice. He was a nice man. He was gentle, he was soft spoken, he was shy, he was really protective of the people around him and his family, like he was very much big teddy bear energy. I love that. Reminds me of Frankenstein. I didn't watch that, but I know I'd be upset. Well, okay. No, but I know, I know what you're talking about. Yeah. There's a lot of stories of him taking care of younger wrestlers and making sure people got home safe after leaving and just helping people quietly. Like he moved in silence kind of thing. Mm. And didn't make a big deal out of it. Didn't expect anything from it. So now you have this contrast of like, oh, Amanda, that would flip a car, but also wanted to just like sit quietly with his friends and Kiki. Very nice. Very wholesome. Very nice man. Can we hit copy and paste over here? Can we get Yeah, please. A seven footer sweet baby angel. I don't know if I can handle seven feet. Six. Six was a lot maybe, but he could just use a, with the unibrow though, that'd be a problem for us. No, I'd be buzzing that I'd be waxing that. So underneath all of this, there's still something going on. Can we, shall we not forget his acro magali? I dunno if that's how you say it. I think it is. Why did you yell it like that? Grow my alley. It doesn't just make you big. It puts a lot of strain on your body. Like you asked if he was in pain. Yeah, you're in pain. Yeah, he's in pain. So he has joint pain, he has back issues, he's got mobility issues. He's uncomfortable, constant discomfort. And instead of stepping away from where he feels most comfortable, he keeps performing.'cause it's his identity, it's his life. It's his happiness. It's where he feels at peace. Yeah. And it's really hard for people to find peace these days. Amen. And so now we have the moment. Okay. The moment where it comes to Hulk Hogan, it's WrestleMania three. Okay. Because everyone knows what WrestleMania is. One and two. Yeah. Legendary. One, two. And now we're into three. He gets put up in a match against Hulk Hogan. And it wasn't just a wrestling match, it was the event. There is 90,000 people in the crowd, and Andre, at this point, he's in a lot of pain. His body's tired, but he shows up anyways because that's just who he is. And everyone remembers this moment, Hulk Hogan lifts him and full blown body slams him. Not one person ever in his career has been able to body slam him. The crowd loses their fucking goddamn minds. And in the the Hulk documentary, it's like a crazy moment, but obviously we know that it's fake. Right. So the whole point of it show is Yeah. The whole point of it is, it's like everything's pre-planned. Yeah. And so it's him stepping back. So like the people that know that this is fake are like, oh, this is weird. Something's off. Like why wouldn't he? He's never lost, quote unquote, lost a match before. Right. So this was his first step out of the spotlight. So it was kind of like a half and half like, oh my God, LK Hogan's so great. Allegedly the beginning of the end, but also bittersweet, you know, something's off. Mm. So. This becomes a completely different chapter for him. And then he completely flips And he's in the Princess Bride. Yes, he is. N notoriously, yeah. Yes. That was, he crushes it. That was his, after he was decided to, with the wrestling. Good for him. He casts, he's cast as Fec the Giant naturally. Mm-hmm. And it, the role itself actually shows who he really is. I, Chad told me this'cause I said, what is the Princess Bride and what's his role in it?'cause I have never seen The Princess Bride. You, you've never seen the pri Are you surprised? Really? Are you surprised? It's an old movie, right? Oh my God, I wanna kill you. I mean, how you do most, you've never seen the Princess Bride. Oh God, there's so many things. Add it to the, add it to the list. But in the show. I mean, in the movie, it shows who he kind of really is like, not the spectacle, not the legend, just him, you know? Yeah. And the cast all talked about how sweet he was and very quiet and shy. And because of his condition, he actually couldn't do a lot of his own stunts. So they had to work around him and they protected him. And they got him a stunt double, even though he's like a thousand feet tall. Tall. I love him. Everything's coming out as you like mid cry about Andre the giant. Yeah. Like, I love you. I love you when you brow. And in 1993, he travels back to France to see the fam and he's going to attend his father's funeral. And when he's there, he passes away in his sleep. Oh, wow. He's only 46. Holy shit. Mm-hmm. He went home for Oh, his poor family. That's awful. I know. Did they say what happened? Did they get an autopsy? Yeah, so, heart failure, just direct heart failure while he was sleeping, which like, not to say like at least he went out that way, but like at least he went out that way. No, I say it about my dad all the time. I'm like, he was onto something. Just take a nap. Yeah. Peaceful. Yeah. Couldn't be more peaceful than that. And the world just kind of paused and they, you know, something that big feels like they should last forever. Thank you. Chat. Thank you. Chat. After he dies, he becomes the first inductee into the WWE e Hall of Fame. And that's just the formal recognition because his real legacy as per told Chachi Bt, I said, gimme a spiel. Gimme like his, like his legacy line. And she told me he changed what wrestling looked like. He became a global icon and he proved that something that once made you feel completely out of place could become the thing that makes you unforgettable. Wow. Thanks Trat. That's very nice and wholesome, right? So yeah, he was massive. He was a legend. He was cool. He was sweet. And he did. But that's the story of Andre the Giant. Wow. Poor one out for Andre. He didn't wanna know, or you didn't wanna know. Now you know what a, what a wholesome king. And yeah, and his his little pubes and his Speedo wrestling outfit. Okay. I have to Google it'cause you have brought it up so many times and you have to, and then you have to look it like it's gonna live run free in my brain. And I'm sorry, the giant, I'm sorry to speak, ill about the dead in their pubic hair, but I have to, in what, what would I call this? Andre's the giant in his wrestling garb. I dunno. Wrestling, That is a big man. Big, big boy. And he's got the sideburns. She actually texted me and said that bush. Oh wow. Okay. Okay. Listen, it was a different time. Hey, it's okay. The seventies were the time to have a bush, if ever. That's fair. I mean, I think it was clearly accepted he was, people loved him. It's fine. But yeah, it sounds like he put on a good show and he, it doesn't mean it's not living in my brain rent free, you know? Wow, wow, wow. Yep. Yeah. Him standing next to a reporter is pretty crazy for context. Oh my God. Yeah. Big, big, big man. Big man. So we'll post his picture, but it's a reporter who comes up to his Tet and is the size of, clearly his Tet up, up to his Tet and the size of Andre, the Giant's arm. Mm-hmm. He quite literally looks four times the size of him with, and Heightwise. Yeah. Hulk Hogan, I, I didn't realize was tall either. Now that I'm seeing pictures of them next to each other, it's actually kind of crazy. Yeah, that's what I realized. And I was like, I know that Hulk Hogan is tall, so the fact that he towers is. Hurts my brain. Yeah. That's crazy. Wow. I'm so glad you did that. Are you, that was like, that was like so funny and wholesome and we've never done wrestling, I don't think. I think that's one of the one sports we haven't done. No. Yeah. I was thinking about all the times that I used to have watch WWE smacked down raw with my dad Monday night Raw. Yeah. Our boy cousins loved it. Friday night smacked down Monday night Raw, and then Lizzie was followed by Lizzie McGuire. Naturally. Yep. All right. What do you have coming up?
