Speaker 1: Hey Vests, Hello Sunshine.
Speaker 2: Today on the bright side, we're popping off on the
Speaker 2: biggest pop culture moments of the week.
Speaker 3: It's Super Bowl weekend, y'all, and we've got some insight
Speaker 3: on what to expect with this year's highly anticipated halftime
Speaker 3: show and how the commercials may be a little different
Speaker 3: this time. And from the super Bowl to the bedroom,
Speaker 3: have you ever wondered how clean your bed really is?
Speaker 3: We've got the cringe worthy truth. It's Friday, February seventh.
Speaker 2: I'm Simone Boyce, I'm Danielle Robe and this is the
Speaker 2: bright side from Hello Sunshine.
Speaker 1: Happy Friday Vesses.
Speaker 3: Earlier this week, the world's most accurate meteorologist, punk Satani
Speaker 3: Phil saw his shadow predicting six more weeks of winter,
Speaker 3: and judging by the weather across the nation this week,
Speaker 3: looks like he wasn't wrong, right Danielle where Thank god?
Speaker 2: I feel bad for everybody in Chicago and New York
Speaker 2: and the East Coast. I'm sorry, guys. More weeks is
Speaker 2: not fun, but I have a prediction for today. We're
Speaker 2: gonna have a blast. Joining us is Emmy Award winning
Speaker 2: producer bright Side Bestie and our very own showrunner Tim Palizola.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to him.
Speaker 4: I love the air horn. Yes, it's official. Hi Hi, Hi, Hi,
Speaker 4: So glad to be back.
Speaker 1: I was practicing my airhorn while I was in Jamaica.
Speaker 5: You guys good. Yeah, we're happy to get that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, both of you have had some really exciting weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you've both been traveling. You both attended some conferences, Simon,
Speaker 4: and tell me about what you were doing in Miami.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, So I was in Miami hosting nat PE
Speaker 3: and Real Screen. It is a gathering of the producers
Speaker 3: that make all your favorite reality TV shows like Bravo
Speaker 3: and docuseries, true crime series.
Speaker 1: But it was really interesting.
Speaker 3: There was a cameo from Tony Robbins there and I
Speaker 3: got to introduce him Danielle. I shook his hand. The
Speaker 3: man has the best handshake I've ever felt in my life.
Speaker 3: But he he was there to talk about this new
Speaker 3: TV network that he's launching, which is going to be inspirational, motivational,
Speaker 3: kind of that Tony Robbin's signature.
Speaker 1: But amazing. And this was my first time that I
Speaker 1: had ever seen him.
Speaker 4: Oh, first time, first him at Real Screen or first
Speaker 4: time with Tony Robbins, first.
Speaker 1: Time with Tony Robbins.
Speaker 3: I had never been to a Tony Robbins event before,
Speaker 3: and by the end of his talk, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 3: I get it, Like he yeah, I totally get it.
Speaker 3: He started talking actually about what we've been going through
Speaker 3: in LA with the wildfires, and he said that he
Speaker 3: actually lost his home twenty years ago and went through
Speaker 3: that process of rebuilding.
Speaker 5: Lose his house in a fire as well.
Speaker 1: Yes, wow, he did.
Speaker 3: And he brought up the hero's journey kind of to
Speaker 3: just pump everyone up in the room and inspire everybody.
Speaker 3: And he said that when life throws trials and tribulations
Speaker 3: are away, heroes view it as a call to adventure,
Speaker 3: which I thought was a really cool way to reframe challenges.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: That Yeah, Tony's so exceptional. He everybody in the self
Speaker 2: help world basically rephrases everything that Tony Robbins has created.
Speaker 2: He is like, I think that's so cool that you
Speaker 2: shared a stage with him. He's so remarkable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Danielle, how was your trip? My trip was really good.
Speaker 1: I was in New York.
Speaker 2: I was part of that winter that we were talking about,
Speaker 2: but it was really beautiful. I went for the Clinton
Speaker 2: Foundation Winter meeting, and it's basically like the private sector
Speaker 2: of social impact leaders and geo's politicians, organizers, philanthropists, and
Speaker 2: everybody's goal is to try to make the world better.
Speaker 1: First of all, I felt so small in that room.
Speaker 1: Everybody's brains were so big. That's how you know you're
Speaker 1: in the right place. Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: It was incredible.
Speaker 2: And what I thought was really cool is they have
Speaker 2: these sessions. I was in the women and Girls session,
Speaker 2: in the storytelling session. There's AI and technology, like all
Speaker 2: these different spaces where there's experts and there's facilitators asking you,
Speaker 2: what are the topics that we need to be thinking about,
Speaker 2: how should we be covering them, trying to figure out
Speaker 2: how to really have solutions. Because the Clinton started this
Speaker 2: because they would go to all these meetings and w'd
Speaker 2: be like, oh, great meeting, and nothing happens.
Speaker 1: So it's very solution oriented.
Speaker 2: And you know, I've talked about on this show a
Speaker 2: million times my obsession with Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1: I've never gotten to meet her.
Speaker 2: I've been in the same room before, but this was
Speaker 2: the first time I saw Bill, Hillary and Chelsea on
Speaker 2: stage together. And at the end, there's probably like one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty people there and secret service.
Speaker 1: At the end.
Speaker 2: They stayed to meet people because they're genuinely interested in chatting.
Speaker 2: So I went up to Hillary and I brought her
Speaker 2: book Something Lost, Something Gained with a pen and I said,
Speaker 2: Secretary Clinton, I've read every word you've ever written.
Speaker 1: Would you mind signing my book?
Speaker 2: And she said absolutely, and she signed it and I
Speaker 2: started crying and I was like, Danielle, get it together,
Speaker 2: get it together.
Speaker 1: I could not get it together.
Speaker 2: And she looked up and my eyes were bombing, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: You just mean so much to me.
Speaker 2: And she was like, oh, you're so welcome, Danielle, but
Speaker 2: she was very like put together and moved on to
Speaker 2: the next person.
Speaker 1: Danielle's crying right now, you guy, I am crying.
Speaker 2: It was such a like I felt like my whole
Speaker 2: life was slashing before my eyes.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: But then I went up to President Clinton and he
Speaker 1: was like the exact opposite. He was so chill and fun.
Speaker 2: And he was like, I heard you're working on our
Speaker 2: Creators program.
Speaker 1: We need you.
Speaker 2: I was talking to him about jazz music and took
Speaker 2: a selfie and I was like, their public personas are
Speaker 2: so exactly who they are.
Speaker 1: It was really funny.
Speaker 5: That is amazing.
Speaker 4: Well, while you guys have had these amazing, trailblazing weeks,
Speaker 4: I went to the grocery store twice, I took my
Speaker 4: dog for the walk, and yeah, yes.
Speaker 5: We have been putting together some really amazing shows.
Speaker 4: Yes, and I wanted to share with all of our
Speaker 4: listeners out there that next week, in honor Valentine's Day,
Speaker 4: all of our shows are going to be about love
Speaker 4: and relationships. How to nurture the relationships with others, the
Speaker 4: romantic ones, the ones you have with your friends, and
Speaker 4: most importantly, how to nurture the relationship you have with yourself.
Speaker 4: So stay tuned for next week. We've got an amazing
Speaker 4: lineup of shows.
Speaker 1: Fire lineup.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: Besties, bring out the wings, the dips, and the drinks.
Speaker 2: Because this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday. It's not just
Speaker 2: any Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs are going head to
Speaker 2: head with the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesar's Superdome in New
Speaker 2: Orleans and kickoff is at six thirty Eastern times, so
Speaker 2: you know, get all the snacks ready to tune in
Speaker 2: a little bit early if you want to watch the
Speaker 2: national anthem and all the pregame festivities, including the Puppy Bowl.
Speaker 1: Which is amazing. Are you guys watching the game?
Speaker 2: Are you watching Kendrick Lamar at the halftime show?
Speaker 1: Do you care about football?
Speaker 5: Tim?
Speaker 1: You want to take this out?
Speaker 5: All star?
Speaker 4: I'll say I love the come of the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: and sporting events. I haven't been following the NFL lineup,
Speaker 4: but I love the halftime shows, I love the commercials,
Speaker 4: and I love the camaraderie of it all. I have
Speaker 4: a joke with some of my friends every year we
Speaker 4: talk about instead of getting together to watch the Super Bowl,
Speaker 4: we always say, do you want to get together to watch.
Speaker 5: The Beyonce show?
Speaker 4: Or do you want to get together to watch Jlo's performance?
Speaker 4: So it's a little bit it's a little bit like that.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'll be hanging out with friends this weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm here for the wings and the culture. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm here for. Yeah, I think there's going to be a.
Speaker 2: Really big rivalry because it's, first of all, it's in
Speaker 2: New Orleans, which is neutral territory, right, uh huh, But
Speaker 2: everybody wants Taylor Swift's boyfriend to win again. Yes, I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's how the story plays out. Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts on the Eagles has an all female management team, okay,
Speaker 2: first NFL player to ever have that, and he's hot
Speaker 2: AF and he's smart. This I need the Eagles to win.
Speaker 2: Everybody who's listening in Filmiladelphia, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I'm team Eagles for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My brother is from Philly, so I'm repping from my brother. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, it's amazing. Yeah. But Jalen Hurts is fine, fine, AF.
Speaker 1: He is so fine, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: So fine that he almost looks like like an actor, right, like,
Speaker 3: not like he looks like an actor playing a football player.
Speaker 4: Because he's so fun embarrassingly oh yes, right, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: So obviously, like with the Super Bowl, the commercials are
Speaker 2: such a big deal. I was reading this morning that
Speaker 2: Alex Earl, who's an influencer, is going to be a commercial,
Speaker 2: and I don't know that that's really happened before, not
Speaker 2: to my recollection.
Speaker 1: This is interesting. First of all, how.
Speaker 2: Much is she getting paid for that? But so much
Speaker 2: there's like a turning of the tides here. I'm curious
Speaker 2: to see what they're like.
Speaker 3: I love this for her I Actually I love how
Speaker 3: relatable alex is. I love how open she is, Like
Speaker 3: I've really related to her acne journey, So I'm here
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 2: Go Alex An editor in chief of ad Age, did
Speaker 2: say that they felt brands are going to play it
Speaker 2: safe this year, meaning big celebrities, pop culture moments, nostalgia.
Speaker 2: They're not really going out on a limb. You know,
Speaker 2: obviously they release and you know, usually brands released some
Speaker 2: of these commercials ahead of time. Michelobe Ultra did a
Speaker 2: fun one Hellman's Reunited, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal at
Speaker 2: Katz's Delhi with you so Adorable.
Speaker 5: See.
Speaker 3: I love when a brand does that, like tap into
Speaker 3: some cultural nostalgia and just serve it to us on
Speaker 3: a steaming hot platter at Katz's Delhi.
Speaker 4: Totally, these super Bowl commercials are going to be the
Speaker 4: ones that we're going to be talking about for a
Speaker 4: really long time. I actually went online to look up
Speaker 4: some of the best Super Bowl commercials of all times. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and if you look across the internet, a lot of
Speaker 4: sites have their list of the best super Bowl commercials,
Speaker 4: but it came across some that have made all of
Speaker 4: the lists. One of them is too eights e Trades
Speaker 4: Talking Baby do y'all remember that one?
Speaker 1: So the Dancing Baby.
Speaker 4: It was literally the first time you saw a baby
Speaker 4: move with his mouth. They do, they did some like.
Speaker 5: Special I remember this.
Speaker 1: Yes, we were.
Speaker 5: So innocent, We were so innocent.
Speaker 6: Fact.
Speaker 4: Then Yeah, there was also twenty eleven's the Voltswagon. It
Speaker 4: was the Force Awakens with the like the three year
Speaker 4: old dressed is Darth Vader who puts his hand out
Speaker 4: to stop Voltswagon.
Speaker 5: There was a big one from nineteen ninety three. It
Speaker 5: was McDonald's.
Speaker 4: It was Michael Jordan versus Larry Bird in a free
Speaker 4: throw match. Nineteen ninety five's Budweiser with the Frogs was
Speaker 4: I definitely remember that Budweiser and then two thousands Budweiser
Speaker 4: where they were going what's up?
Speaker 5: What's up? That was so yeah.
Speaker 3: Capable at school in the nineties like that do each
Speaker 3: other right?
Speaker 1: That was my dad used to text it to me.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And that was really the power of all these Super
Speaker 4: Bowl commercials, is they really like bled into the zeitgeist. Yeah,
Speaker 4: in form culture. And there's one that made the number
Speaker 4: one across all of these lists. I was not familiar
Speaker 4: with this commercial myself. But it's a nineteen eighty four
Speaker 4: Apple commercial where they introduced.
Speaker 5: Macintosh for the first time, and it's.
Speaker 4: In a bit of a George Orwellian inspired commercial that's
Speaker 4: poking fun at his book nineteen eighty four in nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty four, and the tagline was you'll see why nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty four won't be like nineteen eighty four, And that
Speaker 4: was when Apple introduced Macintosh computers.
Speaker 3: So I just googled this commercial as you were talking,
Speaker 3: and on the right of Google tells me how much
Speaker 3: the budget was. It says it was from about four
Speaker 3: hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand. I guess I never
Speaker 3: really thought about how big the budgets are. That's like
Speaker 3: an indie film budget. They're literally shooting like indie films.
Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, amazing.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I am so looking forward to this year's
Speaker 3: halftime show. Kendrick Lamar is the headliner and the show
Speaker 3: comes just week after he won five Grammy Awards. Now, Kendrick,
Speaker 3: we've already seen him perform at the Super Bowl. He
Speaker 3: took the stage in twenty twenty two alongside Doctor Dre,
Speaker 3: Snoop dogg, Eminem, fifty Cent, and Mary J.
Speaker 1: Blige.
Speaker 3: That one was a highlight for me and I think
Speaker 3: for millennials all around America. But this time will be
Speaker 3: his first time headlining, and Sizza will also be joining
Speaker 3: him on stage, so you know it's going to be
Speaker 3: a good time. I'm also hoping for a Dochi cameo
Speaker 3: because Doci's on his label.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Docie, Sizza, Kendrick like, I.
Speaker 5: See it, I see it.
Speaker 4: I Also there is a huge rumor that Taylor Swift
Speaker 4: is going to come out and join for that and
Speaker 4: do a version of BATA.
Speaker 1: Did you start the rumor?
Speaker 5: I'm starting a rumor now.
Speaker 1: Who said that?
Speaker 5: It has been all over the place.
Speaker 2: What Yes, No, they said that last year too, because
Speaker 2: of Travis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I don't you say no, you don't think that.
Speaker 4: I personally don't think it's to happen either.
Speaker 3: But that would be some whiplash, But that would be Yeah,
Speaker 3: that would be some auditory whiplash going from Kendrick Lamara
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift in the same halftime show.
Speaker 4: We'll say, we'll see, but I anticipate a lot of
Speaker 4: special guests. I mean, he collaborates with some of the
Speaker 4: most amazing people out there. You mentioned Sizza. He's done
Speaker 4: stuff with Beyonce. Obviously she's probably not showing up.
Speaker 3: But Danielle, I have to ask you about your hear
Speaker 3: me out crush your boy Drake. Do you see your
Speaker 3: boy with all the bullet holes and the smoke coming
Speaker 3: out his back?
Speaker 1: Is he's still here? Hear me out? Simone. I saw
Speaker 1: that video and I cringed so hard. I was cringing
Speaker 1: for you. I wish I.
Speaker 2: Could take that whole episode back, I really really do.
Speaker 1: It was so achy.
Speaker 2: I'm so corny, and it's not even gonna hear me
Speaker 2: out anymore.
Speaker 1: No, it's bad. I mean the fact that not like
Speaker 1: us want a Grammy just like.
Speaker 2: Really solidified the the end of Drake.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 5: This was the end.
Speaker 1: It was the end of hearing Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say something a little out of pocket,
Speaker 2: say it. I huge Kendrick Lamar fan. He's an artist,
Speaker 2: a poet, He's brilliant. I love listening to his music.
Speaker 2: Do I want to watch an entire live concert from Kendrick?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: So I'm really looking towards who he's going to bring
Speaker 2: out to make it a little bit more exciting for
Speaker 2: me personally interesting is that?
Speaker 4: Well, what I think is interesting about Kendrick as a choice.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of us know and love his
Speaker 4: music and have been following. But I'm wondering, Like, I
Speaker 4: don't think my mom knows who Kendrick Lamar is. And
Speaker 4: when you think of a lot about who some of
Speaker 4: the halftime performers have been over the last ten years,
Speaker 4: they have been these acts that have just universal appeal.
Speaker 4: So I'm wondering what Kendrick's going to do. I'm super excited,
Speaker 4: but I think there's I think there's going to be
Speaker 4: a spec I think there's going to be I think
Speaker 4: he's going to bring out a lot of guests.
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be out there.
Speaker 4: Do you guys, I mean, obviously we know who Kendrick is,
Speaker 4: but do you think your parents? Do you think he
Speaker 4: has that type of universal appeal?
Speaker 3: My mom would be horrified to listen to Kendrick, Like,
Speaker 3: my mom is so conservative with music, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: know if she's ever heard a rap.
Speaker 1: Song in her life. That's hilarious. Your mom's a quaker.
Speaker 3: Basically, Yeah, she listens to smooth jazz all day long.
Speaker 1: Oh I love that.
Speaker 4: But maybe this is an opportunity for you know, because
Speaker 4: I mean he has a pull up surprise, He's won
Speaker 4: seventeen Grammys. I wonder if this is an opportunity for
Speaker 4: him to have that super main crossover appeal. Yeah, this
Speaker 4: huge wide audience, So I'm excited.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping for what Simone said, I want some doughchi
Speaker 2: dochi to me is like our generation's Missy Elliott like
Speaker 2: this or the next generation's Missy like the creativity is
Speaker 2: off her.
Speaker 4: Grammy's performance was astounding and her speech, her speech, I'm
Speaker 4: still thinking about her speech.
Speaker 2: Yes, and Okay, so I actually have a job that
Speaker 2: I want to create where I like, I'm a ghost
Speaker 2: writer for celebrities for award shows.
Speaker 1: So good at that, Thank you so much. I think
Speaker 1: we all would.
Speaker 2: But I want to create the job because they need help,
Speaker 2: and like it can make such a moment like remember
Speaker 2: Matthew McConaughey's speech or Doci like really got people feeling
Speaker 2: something like you have this world stage, do something with
Speaker 2: the moment, and Doci did it.
Speaker 5: She did.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say she did do something with that.
Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break from popping off,
Speaker 2: but we'll be right back, and we're back to popping
Speaker 2: off with Tim Pallazola. Okay, wait, super Bowl is not
Speaker 2: all that's happening everybody. Valentine's Day is exactly one week away.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you like Valentine's Day? Or is it an ick?
Speaker 5: You know what?
Speaker 1: It happens every year.
Speaker 4: There was something really special about it, and I would
Speaker 4: I will say it's special, but it doesn't have the
Speaker 4: same fantasy.
Speaker 1: Tim and I haven't relaps.
Speaker 5: For many years.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 5: It feels performative at this point. Kids.
Speaker 3: I mean, like my husband and I love each other
Speaker 3: to death, I don't know, it feels like an obligation,
Speaker 3: you know, like I am looking forward to for us
Speaker 3: to go on a date night because it's been a minute.
Speaker 3: We've both been super busy, so I appreciate that it
Speaker 3: is forcing us to like take time out of the
Speaker 3: daily grind and just be intentional, right, But it also
Speaker 3: feels like an obligation.
Speaker 1: Like are you buying each other gifts?
Speaker 5: Or no?
Speaker 3: I want to get him a gift, but I don't
Speaker 3: really know what do you guys have any ideas? What
Speaker 3: do I get from a man on Valentine's.
Speaker 7: An Apple TV Yeah okay, yeah sure if apples talkie
Speaker 7: a walkie talkie for what they love?
Speaker 1: Men love walkie talkies. What kind of men are you dating? Danielle?
Speaker 2: To ask your kids here? You have two boys. Tell
Speaker 2: me they don't want walkie talkies.
Speaker 1: They're four and three years old. My husband's forty two.
Speaker 1: What's he going to do.
Speaker 6: With Sometimes you don't want to call someone, You just
Speaker 6: want to, like Michael here calling in simone come to
Speaker 6: the kitchen sounds so intimate and romantic.
Speaker 4: I would say we over time have gotten less about
Speaker 4: gifts and it's a little bit more like acts of service.
Speaker 4: I will say there was one year we had a
Speaker 4: lot of fun. We category was a Tachi drug store Valentine.
Speaker 4: Oh that's fun.
Speaker 5: I like.
Speaker 4: So we went to the drug store and just got
Speaker 4: each other a bunch of like silly, fun gag gifts
Speaker 4: and that was just it was just really funny. I
Speaker 4: love the day because it gives us an opportunity to
Speaker 4: pause and connect. But you know, we've been intentional with
Speaker 4: our relationship for a long time that I don't know
Speaker 4: if I need the Valentine's Day to affirm the relationship
Speaker 4: I think that's where I get stuck with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what if I get us a staycation at a
Speaker 3: local hotel?
Speaker 4: I think the experience or something like that sounds really
Speaker 4: nice for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds yeah.
Speaker 1: Danielle, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 5: Yeah? What are you? What are your Valentine's Day thoughts?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: We heard what happened recently in college.
Speaker 1: I want to have like a Chelsea Handler Valentine's Day?
Speaker 1: That's my goal.
Speaker 5: What does she do to gallons of vodka? A little lemonade?
Speaker 3: Oh wait, I wasn't here for that one, No one, No,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Like, I've always felt that it was
Speaker 2: just kind of contrived, but it is actually rooted in history,
Speaker 2: and if we can reframe it and think about the
Speaker 2: day as like asking ourselves the question like how can
Speaker 2: we receive love and how can we give love to
Speaker 2: everybody in our lives more thoroughly and thoughtfully? Like I
Speaker 2: think it's it's sort of a nice reminder. That's what
Speaker 2: traditions and holidays are for me. They're more reminders than
Speaker 2: anything else. Because I'm with you, like, I definitely don't.
Speaker 1: No offense to him. I don't want drugstore chocolate you.
Speaker 8: Know, sure, well no, wow, she just read you for film,
Speaker 8: but not listen if you I wasn't giving it without.
Speaker 4: Irony and right, but I will say all that shit
Speaker 4: got thrown away or the dog is now playing with
Speaker 4: one stuffed animal that we have.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't think we need other crap.
Speaker 2: But wait, okay, my last question about Valentine's have you
Speaker 2: ever gotten really bad Valentine's Day gift?
Speaker 1: Like something that you were like you had to pretend to.
Speaker 5: Like, never really had that.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think honestly, we're like a very low
Speaker 3: key couple. We don't really do We're not like extra,
Speaker 3: we don't do that much like he gets he'll get
Speaker 3: me like chocolate covered strawberries, and I love that because
Speaker 3: I love chocolate covered strawberry. Right, I will ride for
Speaker 3: chocolate covered strawberries. So I haven't Yeah, I haven't had
Speaker 3: like a bad experience.
Speaker 5: No, I haven't had a bad experience.
Speaker 4: But I'll be honest, if if someone were to like
Speaker 4: vacuum and clean the bathroom, I would be hot for days, get.
Speaker 2: Your car detailed, take out the trash.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that type of.
Speaker 2: When you're single and you have and you're like dating,
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day gifts have a lot more pressure, Like you
Speaker 2: really have to be thoughtful. I think it's hard for men.
Speaker 2: It's like, what do you get women like curse pajamas?
Speaker 2: You don't want to be weird and get lingerie Like.
Speaker 4: There's just a lot of weird pressure, especially when depending
Speaker 4: on how early you are into the relationship, because I
Speaker 4: feel like men feel like they have to make a
Speaker 4: huge gesture yeah at that time, and that could be
Speaker 4: a hit or a miss for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Well, obviously celebrities do a ton of extravagant
Speaker 2: gifts for Valentine's Day. In twenty twenty three, when Ben
Speaker 2: and Jennifer Lopez been Afflet and Jennifer Lopez celebrated their
Speaker 2: first Valentine's Days a married couple, they got tattoos commemorating
Speaker 2: their relationship. So j Lo got an infinite infinity sign
Speaker 2: with Jennifer and Ben written in cursive, and Ben got
Speaker 2: two arrows crossing one another with the letter J above
Speaker 2: the arrows and the letter B below.
Speaker 5: Messy.
Speaker 2: I wonder what that tattoo has turned into, right, thinking.
Speaker 1: The same thing they turn it into something else.
Speaker 3: I just would you guys ever get a tattoo for someone? No,
Speaker 3: like a romantic partner. No, I would get my dog
Speaker 3: tattooed on me, but I don't. I would not do
Speaker 3: a romantic partner.
Speaker 5: So funny.
Speaker 4: I feel like the moment you do a romantic partner,
Speaker 4: it's a time that the relationships over. I think it's
Speaker 4: there's something about a curse.
Speaker 5: What do you think you think?

Speaker 2: the same one, and we do have a photo of
Speaker 2: it from the tattoo parler.
Speaker 4: Does it have new meaning for you now? Like what
Speaker 4: do you what do you think about when you see
Speaker 4: the tattoo?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: Do you still equate it with him? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I do, but I when I got it, it meant
Speaker 2: something to me personally also, so it doesn't feel weird
Speaker 2: or sad, but also like I really loved that relationship,
Speaker 2: so I don't mind it.
Speaker 1: It's not somebody's name.
Speaker 2: Sure, And it was during it was during COVID, which
Speaker 2: like I had like my I was so straight edge
Speaker 2: in college, so when I had no job during COVID,
Speaker 2: it was like me living out my college years.
Speaker 1: So like tattoo my first tattoo, did the relationship end well,
Speaker 1: like on good terms?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it did with a lot of love, like the
Speaker 2: tattoo bege okay.
Speaker 3: And then when you were deciding to get the tattoo,
Speaker 3: like did the thought enter your mind like well if
Speaker 3: this doesn't work out, like what how did you do?
Speaker 1: Have such a good question?
Speaker 2: Yeah, which that was It was really important to me
Speaker 2: to get something that I would always like where the

Speaker 5: Far into the relationship. Were you great question tattoo? This
Speaker 5: is this is the this.

Speaker 2: Like two years okay, okay, year and a half.
Speaker 1: Two years. Not impulsive.
Speaker 2: And he's a tattoo person and I had never gotten
Speaker 2: a tattoo. Originally, he was like, you should get it
Speaker 2: on the inside of.
Speaker 1: Your lips and no one ever sees it. And I
Speaker 1: was like, it's a little too much for me.
Speaker 3: I know a girl in college who had like wild
Speaker 3: child like something like that, like on her lip.
Speaker 1: She was a destructive.
Speaker 5: Imagine going to the dentists and hygiene. Oh, okay, that
Speaker 5: is script around your guys.

Speaker 3: I was about to be like, who would ever get
Speaker 3: a tattoo with their partner?

Speaker 2: No, you can say it, believe me, I get it.
Speaker 2: You would never do one with Michael.
Speaker 5: But do you have any tattoos?

Speaker 3: I wouldn't get one with Michael, like, it's just like
Speaker 3: it's like you saying like with your dog, Like it's
Speaker 3: just there's something about I don't know. I'm yeah, it
Speaker 3: does feel like a curse or something that scares me.
Speaker 4: Were there are times where you wanted to get a
Speaker 4: tattoo and didn't.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I'm a tattoo girly like I'm
Speaker 3: I'm I'm historically quite indecisive, and so I think if
Speaker 3: I got something I would be I would be nervous
Speaker 3: that I wouldn't like it.
Speaker 4: Eventually, I'd be really nervous that they did an age.
Speaker 4: And I'm happy that the impulses I had when I
Speaker 4: was eighteen nineteen twenty to get tattoos I was I
Speaker 4: did not get them because I don't think they would
Speaker 4: have aged very well.

Speaker 3: back with Tim Palazola. And we're back with Tim Pallazola.
Speaker 3: So from Bulgari diamond Valentine's Day gifts to the bedroom.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about a recent article in The
Speaker 3: Cut all about bed etiquette, basically how long you should
Speaker 3: go without washing your sheets and whether it's gross to
Speaker 3: wear your outside clothes on your bed. I know people
Speaker 3: have a lot of strong opinions on this. This has
Speaker 3: always been a hot topic. Before I give you the
Speaker 3: hard cold facts from the experts, I want to hear
Speaker 3: your takes, Danielle. How often do you wash your sheets
Speaker 3: and do you wear your outside clothes in your bed?
Speaker 3: If it's just me, I probably do it every two weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm actually in every two weeks.
Speaker 5: Person two, I think I'm every two weeks too.
Speaker 1: In my head it every week.
Speaker 4: In my head, I think I do it every week.
Speaker 4: I think it's probably every two two weeks.
Speaker 3: Two weeks is when we have a housekeeper, and that's
Speaker 3: like when it happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the outside closed thing.
Speaker 2: Though, I have to tell you I don't do outside
Speaker 2: clothes on my bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah that I just have some.
Speaker 2: Sort of weird It's like, especially like your plane clothes.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, something about plane clothes and suitcases. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: So what do.
Speaker 3: You not to like take this in a weird direction,
Speaker 3: but like, what do you guys sleep in? Are you
Speaker 3: guys like hardcore pajama people or no? No, just T
Speaker 3: shirts shirts. Yeah, I'm the same. I'm like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: But okay, well you have the real you have the
Speaker 4: real tea on what you should be doing exactly.
Speaker 3: Okay, So this article recommends that you should wash your
Speaker 3: sheets and pillowcases once a week.
Speaker 5: Okay, I think we all can.
Speaker 3: One doctor actually suggested showering nightly for max mom cleanliness.
Speaker 5: Oh interesting.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's going to fit into my lifestyle.
Speaker 3: But when it comes to outside clothes, according to a
Speaker 3: board certified doctor who spoke to the CUT, you shouldn't
Speaker 3: have them on your bed. So bags, suitcases, coats, clothes
Speaker 3: that have been worn outside.
Speaker 1: They just say you should keep it off the bed.
Speaker 4: I will say, I break that rule. I'll come home
Speaker 4: and throw a coat on my bed. Yeah, yes, I'll
Speaker 4: do that. But yeah, what did they say about like
Speaker 4: a douvet or like a comforter? Do they go into
Speaker 4: any specifics there? Because I washed my sheets probably once
Speaker 4: every two weeks, but I don't think I washed my
Speaker 4: duvet that often.
Speaker 1: You know what, they didn't say anything about it.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to say, you're doing great, okay, I'm
Speaker 3: going to give you a clean doctor.
Speaker 1: Simone, You're good.
Speaker 5: I'm not dead yet, so that's good.
Speaker 3: Oh fun fact for all the moms and dads in
Speaker 3: the audience. They also suggested sticking stuffed animals in the
Speaker 3: freezer once a week to disinfect them. I should do that.
Speaker 3: I've never disinfected my kids stuffed animals. I'll wash blind
Speaker 3: dogs toys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they slob her all over them.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, Well that's what do they say about pets.
Speaker 5: My dog sleeps with me. That's probably not very healthy.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to ask the cut Tim, You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to look it up.
Speaker 5: She's like, Hey, there's this new thing. Have you heard
Speaker 5: of it. It's called Google. Try it.
