Speaker 2: Hey, Bessie's Today on the bright Side, we're popping off
Speaker 2: unditioning on the biggest pop culture stories of the week
Speaker 2: with Emmy nominated TV host, journalist and fashion designer Nina Parker.
Speaker 2: Which a listerer is asking her eight year old son
Speaker 2: to sign a legal contract? Is there an appropriate age
Speaker 2: gap when dating? And is September twenty eighth the end
Speaker 2: for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey? Ooh, maybe a penalty
Speaker 2: on that play. It's Friday, September sixth. I'm Simone Boyce.
Speaker 3: I'm Danielle Robe and this is the bright Side from
Speaker 3: Hello Sunshine, a daily show where we come together to
Speaker 3: share women's stories, to laugh, learn and brighten your day.
Speaker 2: All Right, it's Friday, y'all, and what a fun week
Speaker 2: we've had here on the show.
Speaker 3: Simone, I still can't stop thinking about all the wisdom
Speaker 3: that Julia Borsten shared about navigating the workplace.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in my perceived weakness is actually my strength.
Speaker 4: Era.
Speaker 2: I learned that from Julia and I'll also be tuning
Speaker 2: in to watch our Hello Sunshine. Bestie Sophie Morgan hosts
Speaker 2: the Paralympics. So excited for her she deserves this moment
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 3: I agree, and she's our Hello Sunshine Sis. All Right,
Speaker 3: you know what else I'm excited about?
Speaker 5: Couldn't Is it maybe a little popping off?
Speaker 3: You know? I love this part of the week. Let's
Speaker 3: pop off me too.
Speaker 2: Okay, But first, Danielle, before we go there, it's actually
Speaker 2: time to spotlight our favorite moment of the week, brought
Speaker 2: to you by our friends at BMW.
Speaker 5: This week, we're spotlighting Margaret w Renkell.
Speaker 2: She's the author of the Comfort of Crows, which is
Speaker 2: the one hundredth Reese's Book Club Pick, but she also
Speaker 2: has a really special connection to Reese Witherspoon herself. They
Speaker 2: go way back because Margaret w Renkell was actually Reese's
Speaker 2: high school English teacher.
Speaker 1: It's so special.
Speaker 3: Margaret posted about the book club pick on her Instagram
Speaker 3: earlier this week and describe Reese as a force for
Speaker 3: joy and justice from the moment she met her when
Speaker 3: she was fifteen years old. She went on to say
Speaker 3: that being RBC's one hundredth pick is the honor of
Speaker 3: her life and teaching Reese as a teenager was one
Speaker 3: of her life's greatest joys. I almost cried saying that
Speaker 3: just now, that's so beautiful.
Speaker 5: It's so beautiful and so sweet. I totally get it.
Speaker 2: Danielle and Reese also had a few words to share
Speaker 2: about Margaret's profound impact on her life.
Speaker 4: This is gonna make me cry, but I.
Speaker 5: You taught me. Oh God, you're gonna make me cry.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna cry.
Speaker 5: Everybody cry. But you taught me so much.
Speaker 4: You saw something in me and encouraged me. And I
Speaker 4: was reading by myself sort of secretly because it was
Speaker 4: my private place to go, which was reading books, was
Speaker 4: escaped everything and high school could be really hard.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, now everybody's crying. I don't know what to
Speaker 3: say except for congrats to Margaret Renkel and a huge
Speaker 3: shout out to all of the teachers out there making
Speaker 3: an impact and such a positive impact on their students' lives.
Speaker 3: I remember teachers that really did that for me, and
Speaker 3: it just goes beyond words.
Speaker 1: We see you and we appreciate you.
Speaker 5: All right, Danielle, let's officially pop off.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do it. Joining us today is Nina Parker.
Speaker 3: She's an Emmy nominated TV host, journalist, fashion designer, and
Speaker 3: the creator of the Nina Parker Collection.
Speaker 1: At Macy's. Nina, welcome to the bright Side.
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here.
Speaker 3: We're so happy to have you. You always bring the energy
Speaker 3: and the opinion.
Speaker 5: Oh thank you. Try I try sometimes too much.
Speaker 1: No, it's never too much. You bring it. That's what
Speaker 1: people want for Like, that's what they love about it.
Speaker 5: It's what they love.
Speaker 6: Is some hate, but it's you don't get it regardless.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, we have True Entertainment News
Speaker 2: Royalty in the building today.
Speaker 5: I need to come here every day.
Speaker 2: We are so pumped to have Unina. But I want
Speaker 2: to talk to you about your collection at Macy's because
Speaker 2: you're wearing it right now.
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 2: And it made you the founder of the first black
Speaker 2: woman owned brand to launch a plus size line exclusively
Speaker 2: for Macy's. That is so cool, just number one. That's incredible.
Speaker 2: What has been the most rewarding part of this for you?
Speaker 6: You know what's crazy is that I really started my
Speaker 6: collection out of frustration because I was like, y'all can
Speaker 6: give big girls cue clothes, Like what is going on?
Speaker 6: Y'all want me to wear moons? Like what why do
Speaker 6: I have to look like this? Where I'm shopping with
Speaker 6: my skinny counterparts and I can only buy a purse
Speaker 6: or some accessories because they just decided to stop making
Speaker 6: jeans at a size ten. It just was always so
Speaker 6: crazy to me. I didn't reinvent the wheel. I just
Speaker 6: made what I knew women wanted. And it's so funny
Speaker 6: because you always hear networks and corporations telling you what
Speaker 6: people want, but they're not really listening. It's like what
Speaker 6: they want them to want. And for me, I felt
Speaker 6: like I'm on the ground, like I'm actually a plus
Speaker 6: sized girl. I know what I want and I'm feeling
Speaker 6: like I can feel out what other women want.
Speaker 5: So that's really like how it started.
Speaker 6: And it's been so fulfilling because I just have women
Speaker 6: reaching out to me like, girl, I just wanted some
Speaker 6: jeens that stretched the proper way, like thank you for
Speaker 6: making that, And it's just it's crazy that there's not
Speaker 6: enough brands that do that. So it's just been incredibly fulfilling.
Speaker 6: I never thought fashion would match my love for TV
Speaker 6: because I'm such a TV girly, but it's about equal,
Speaker 6: Like it's really really dope.
Speaker 1: Where does the inspo come for you?
Speaker 2: Me?
Speaker 5: Just being in the street, like not in a street
Speaker 5: like that, but.
Speaker 6: I'm not outside like that, but I mean like just
Speaker 6: being out and being like, oh, there's a new style, right,
Speaker 6: let's say cargo jeans like last year when they were
Speaker 6: really big and I couldn't find a proper pair and
Speaker 6: plus and I was like, let's just make it then,
Speaker 6: you know, even like the jacket that I have on
Speaker 6: where I'm just like I just want to throw on
Speaker 6: a T shirt and like a cute little jacket that
Speaker 6: fits me that you know, will go around all my
Speaker 6: curves and still look really cool, Like can I get that?
Speaker 6: Like it just you'd be surprised. The hardest to find,
Speaker 6: even like a cute plus jean jacket. So it really
Speaker 6: was like I'll see, like if I saw your outfit,
Speaker 6: like I'll ask girls, can I take a picture of
Speaker 6: you not include the head and be like I'm gonna
Speaker 6: make this in plus and then also just regular general
Speaker 6: items that you need, like a stretch, long sleeved T shirt.
Speaker 6: So we're to the airport that I couldn't find the
Speaker 6: plus stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, So you said that your love of fashion
Speaker 3: matches your love of TV, and you are hosting the
Speaker 3: upcoming season eleven of the Basketball Wise reunion, you posted
Speaker 3: a pic of yourself on set that had Instagram and
Speaker 3: a little bit of a flirty Nina, because it there's
Speaker 3: the whole seating chart of the cast there, and then
Speaker 3: we noticed that there was one seat that had a
Speaker 3: question mark over it. What surprises do you have in
Speaker 3: store for us?
Speaker 6: You know it's gonna be a little pop in. Yeah,
Speaker 6: someone's gonna, you know, do a little pop in. Maybe
Speaker 6: a pull up if you will. You know, I love
Speaker 6: I love a pull up when it's not for me, yeh, don't.
Speaker 5: Pull up on me. It's yeah, but when is? You
Speaker 5: know when is? Orchestrat Gron said, I like it.
Speaker 6: So you know there's gonna be a couple of things
Speaker 6: this reunion that I think people are going to be
Speaker 6: shocked by. And you know, as a fan of the show,
Speaker 6: was fun to be a part of it. I'm glad
Speaker 6: I'm not in any other drama, so I'm just an
Speaker 6: innocent bystander hosting the show.
Speaker 5: I don't have a dog in the fight. Okay, I
Speaker 5: have a question, Nina.
Speaker 2: I've never hosted one of these reunions, so I'm curious
Speaker 2: what happens when the cameras stop rolling, does the drama
Speaker 2: continue or does everybody kind of put that facade away
Speaker 2: and they're just like cool with each other.
Speaker 6: It's I'm done loving hip hop. I did Love and
Speaker 6: Hip Hop reunions for fire. That was crazy because it
Speaker 6: was like that was more toxic because it was like
Speaker 6: metal detectors and security had to follow everybody.
Speaker 5: Yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 6: The Cardi famously threw a shoe at someone and it
Speaker 6: almost hit me in the face.
Speaker 5: So I've done.
Speaker 6: You know, she follows me to this day because I
Speaker 6: did the reunions and that's how I met her. But
Speaker 6: those were ten times more crazy because they fought like
Speaker 6: I mean, these people were fighting like it was it
Speaker 6: was too much. They were physically fighting each other. There
Speaker 6: was metal detectors, security guards like you know, it was.
Speaker 6: It was insane. I wouldn't do that again. This is different.
Speaker 6: This is this is just more arguing. These are people
Speaker 6: who have disagreements. They yell, but you know, people aren't
Speaker 6: trying to square it. And so that's better because you're
Speaker 6: able to get when some when people are about to
Speaker 6: get physical and they have to be separated, you can't
Speaker 6: have any rational conversations with them, so for me, it's
Speaker 6: harder to do my job. I know, as a viewer
Speaker 6: it's probably maybe fun to watch people get that crazy,
Speaker 6: But at one point on Love and Hip Hop, we
Speaker 6: have people running in from the audience trying to fight
Speaker 6: the cast members. I was like, this is too much.
Speaker 6: Like I get this at my family reunions. I don't
Speaker 6: need this at work. So that part is crazy, but
Speaker 6: it is really fun. If you're a fan of the show,
Speaker 6: you get to really for me, I orchestrate some of
Speaker 6: those questions because I want to know the answers, and
Speaker 6: not everything is included, unfortunately with edits, but it really
Speaker 6: is a time I think to get answers, to have
Speaker 6: people clarify, and a lot of times people talk in
Speaker 6: circles and there really is no rationale to the drama,
Speaker 6: which lets.
Speaker 5: You know, some people enjoy it.
Speaker 6: But it's really fun for me because I'm just you know,
Speaker 6: I'm the last day of Libra, first day of Scorpio.
Speaker 6: I'm a little bit cuspy, and I like to investigate,
Speaker 6: so I like justice and I like to be a detective.
Speaker 6: You know, a Scorpio, you know, they like to be
Speaker 6: a detective. So I like to dive in.
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes you so good.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, I would love to keep Kei kiing, but
Speaker 2: we do have so many pop culture topics that we
Speaker 2: need to sound off on, so let's go ahead and
Speaker 2: get started. First up on my radar is Kim Kardashian
Speaker 2: and an interesting parenting move.
Speaker 5: Nina.
Speaker 2: You may not know this about me, but I have
Speaker 2: two little boys, so I'm always looking into other people's
Speaker 2: parenting strategies and philosophies.
Speaker 5: So here's a deal.
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, Kim hinted that the next generation of
Speaker 2: Kardashians will be joining their influencer dynasty. Specifically, we're talking
Speaker 2: about her eight year old son, Saint West and his
Speaker 2: burgeoning YouTube channel. But what's dominating the headlines right now
Speaker 2: is that in order for Saint West to start this channel,
Speaker 2: Kim is putting your law degree to good use by
Speaker 2: making him sign a contract. So, in an Instagram story,
Speaker 2: she wrote, I finally allowed Saint to have a YouTube
Speaker 2: channel after signing an extensive contract.
Speaker 5: Lol.
Speaker 2: Please subscribe now my radar. First one up when I
Speaker 2: heard about a contract, because I was like, please, God,
Speaker 2: tell me we're not already separating out fees and royalties
Speaker 2: for an eight year old YouTuber. But that's not what's
Speaker 2: happening here. So she posted a glimpse into this handwritten contract,
Speaker 2: which included terms and conditions like, I Saint West agreed
Speaker 2: to follow my mom's rules in order to have a
Speaker 2: YouTube channel, and quote, I am not allowed to film
Speaker 2: any personal information. So what do we think about making
Speaker 2: an eight year old sign a contract?
Speaker 5: I love this, yeah, because.
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously she's being cheeky, so I mean, but
Speaker 6: it is Kim, So I wouldn't be surprised if it
Speaker 6: was binding.
Speaker 1: In the fine print an attorney.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, it's fifty percent of the problem
Speaker 2: fine print something like that.
Speaker 1: She did learn from her mom, the mamager of all momgers.
Speaker 6: Well, this is just really a refined way of saying,
Speaker 6: don't take family business outside the house. Yeah, if you
Speaker 6: were young, I don't know about y'all, but growing up
Speaker 6: in my black household, we were told, don't you take
Speaker 6: this family business outside.
Speaker 5: Don't you be telling people our business. That was a conversation.
Speaker 6: I had a lot as a kid to like not
Speaker 6: repeat what my mom and dad were saying outside. And
Speaker 6: you know, videotaping wasn't a thing back then. But maybe
Speaker 6: this is just like that version of like hush up, yeah.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's like has kids feel responsible for
Speaker 3: themselves and for their family.
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of cool she's.
Speaker 5: Raising little you know, businessmen and women. I really love this.
Speaker 5: This is something I might do as a parent.
Speaker 2: I really hope that my kids never come to me
Speaker 2: and ask me for a YouTube channel before eighteen. But
Speaker 2: what I love about this is kind of like what
Speaker 2: you were saying, Danielle. It's teaching them good habits whenever
Speaker 2: they do want to become an entrepreneur. It's showing them
Speaker 2: you need to get an agreement down on paper. Both
Speaker 2: parties need to understand the terms. I think this is
Speaker 2: setting her kids up for success.
Speaker 5: I'm here for it. I like the thinking of it.
Speaker 6: You would be surprised how many people still do not like,
Speaker 6: know how to deal with contracts, read contracts, even know
Speaker 6: what they're signing. So, I mean, I think we talk
Speaker 6: about teaching our kids financial literacy, we need to teach
Speaker 6: them contractual literacy too, and this is just a better
Speaker 6: way to get him to learn his abcs in my opinion, right,
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 3: Well, there's another controversial contract that's making news this week.
Speaker 3: I was all over this one. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: I wish I wasn't. But there was an apparent leak
Speaker 3: document that was posted to Reddit, and it laid out
Speaker 3: a breakup plan for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey. Here's
Speaker 3: the thing. The contract was and is questionable. It was
Speaker 3: printed alongside the full scope public relations logo, which is
Speaker 3: like this LA based firm that represents Kelsey and other celebrities,
Speaker 3: but it details the plan of how the firm is
Speaker 3: going to handle a Swift Kelsey breakup. It's a pre
Speaker 3: planned document basically, and it was dated for September twenty eighth.
Speaker 3: It included things like how the separation should be announced,
Speaker 3: the exact wording, the timing off the bat. Travis's team
Speaker 3: shut it down and called it fake.
Speaker 1: The Internet didn't think.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, I don't know. Some people don't know what
Speaker 5: they're talking about.
Speaker 2: Like the Internet is not smart, all right, there's a
Speaker 2: percentage of the Internet that is smart.
Speaker 1: I think the Internet knows a lot.
Speaker 6: I think the Internet knows a lot, but I don't
Speaker 6: think people know, like how the inner workings of entertainment work.
Speaker 6: So they assume a lot and a lot of it
Speaker 6: is like just not true, you know, Like it's just
Speaker 6: I see people commenting all the time, and I always say, like,
Speaker 6: you know, folks love to be masters of none, like
Speaker 6: you got an opinion on everything. But I don't actually
Speaker 6: think even if they did have this, I don't think
Speaker 6: they would be dumb enough to put it on paper
Speaker 6: like and send it around to the office.
Speaker 3: Unless this was a contract, like a contractual relationship to
Speaker 3: begin with.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think it is.
Speaker 6: But it's not that that hasn't happened, but I just
Speaker 6: think it's not going to be easily accessible.
Speaker 5: Right right.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: I think what Nina said is just like sure, there's
Speaker 2: a possibility that this relationship was staged. However, this public
Speaker 2: relations firm is not going to be wrecked so reckless
Speaker 2: that they're just going to like leave this contract around
Speaker 2: the office. I think what happened here is some troll
Speaker 2: online when on CANBA they downloaded the PNG of the
Speaker 2: full scope public relations logo, they slapped it on there.
Speaker 2: Because the reality is there's no there's no watermarking on
Speaker 2: this document. If this was a true document, there would
Speaker 2: be watermarking on it.
Speaker 6: Nobody even like if you get an email from these
Speaker 6: like this is what I'm saying, Like, this is their job,
Speaker 6: this PR it's literally a PR company. But people don't
Speaker 6: use like the letterhead like that. Who uses it's like
Speaker 6: a white House letterhead. You know, it's just not even
Speaker 6: like people don't do that, So it just looks kind
Speaker 6: of fake to me. I just think somebody was bored
Speaker 6: over Labor Day.
Speaker 1: We can't. I think you're right.
Speaker 3: I guess here's the overarching question that at was swirling
Speaker 3: in my mind. Do you think like Travis got into
Speaker 3: this relationship with a contingency plan of like like how
Speaker 3: are you going to break up with Taylor Swift? And
Speaker 3: let me back up and just say he's always kind
Speaker 3: of wanted a career outside of football. Remember he did
Speaker 3: that dating reality show on E So now he's actually
Speaker 3: making a ton of money from this relationship. He just
Speaker 3: signed one hundred million dollar podcast contract with his brother.
Speaker 1: He's producing movies.
Speaker 3: He's about to star in a few like non star
Speaker 3: Myke cameos in a few movies. I don't know how
Speaker 3: you break up with Taylor Swift, Like we've seen the
Speaker 3: backlash of that.
Speaker 5: I think she would have to break up with him.
Speaker 6: I don't think I think he I think I don't
Speaker 6: think he wants the relationship to end.
Speaker 3: I look good. I hope not. Yeah, I want them
Speaker 3: to get married and live after. Yeah, good for them.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't care either way.
Speaker 6: You know, I feel like it's a little like their
Speaker 6: relationship is very like gum drops and rainbows for me,
Speaker 6: Like it's a little young feeling to me, So I
Speaker 6: don't invest in it. But I think it's like you know,
Speaker 6: and if she's happy, I'm happy for her. But I
Speaker 6: think like I could see them getting married, you know,
Speaker 6: I don't see it ending anytime soon. It seems like
Speaker 6: they get along pretty well and listen, it doesn't hurt.
Speaker 6: Like I've seen people call Travis an opportunist, and I
Speaker 6: don't think that's true because he has his own career.
Speaker 6: But I could see why it would be comforting to
Speaker 6: be with someone who listen. I would love to be
Speaker 6: with someone who we increase each other's value, Like that's
Speaker 6: not a bad thing, Like it's a partnership. And sometimes
Speaker 6: partnerships don't mean you're working together. But even just I mean,
Speaker 6: I get more likes on Instagram when I post a guy. Really,
Speaker 6: people are just invested in relationships, and for whatever reason,
Speaker 6: people like to see like relationships win for the most part,
Speaker 6: and they invest in them more. It seems like when
Speaker 6: you have a partner. That's what I notice on social media.
Speaker 6: If I post a guy, I get like double the likes.
Speaker 6: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: I do think it gets risky when you start to
Speaker 2: commodify your relationship and you start to essentially monetize your relationship,
Speaker 2: because that's what they're doing. And I think that I
Speaker 2: think we've seen that in the past, Like even with
Speaker 2: like reality TV stars people from The Bachelor, they've talked
Speaker 2: about how once they started to really monetize their relationship
Speaker 2: and the public eye, then things started to get a
Speaker 2: bit tricky for them, you know, inside the walls of
Speaker 2: their own home.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: Oh, you've also seen it work really well with Beyonce
Speaker 6: and jay Z, and you know, I mean, I think
Speaker 6: relationships are tricky in general. So I guess it's it's
Speaker 6: an industry is so weird, and entertainment is so weird
Speaker 6: because it's not like if he's a doctor and I'm
Speaker 6: you know, a therapist there our careers can kind of
Speaker 6: be intertwined, but not really right because we're kind of
Speaker 6: in different lanes. With entertainment, everything is so infused. It's
Speaker 6: almost natural to work like you work with your friends,
Speaker 6: like I know you. You're asking me here, like it's
Speaker 6: it's always it's gets so infused together. I think it
Speaker 6: would be natural if you're living with someone to kind
Speaker 6: of combine it at some point point.
Speaker 5: So I wonder if it's hard to not do.
Speaker 3: I think some people enjoy it too. It's part of
Speaker 3: the game. For Yeah, either way, I want an album
Speaker 3: about it. I really you can't get one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, you don't get one.
Speaker 5: Good at bed. You don't get album from Taylor. That's
Speaker 5: what I know. An album. Hate to see Taylor coming
Speaker 5: because she don't sing about it. Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's gonna go number one either way.
Speaker 5: We get in the top ten hit. Yes, so I'm
Speaker 5: here for it.
Speaker 2: Nina, we're having so much fun. We do need to
Speaker 2: take a quick break. Don't go anywhere, and we're back
Speaker 2: to popping off with Nina Parker. Okay, y'all, we got
Speaker 2: to talk about another relationship that's getting a lot of
Speaker 2: attention right now. I'm talking about the one between entrepreneur,
Speaker 2: author and Laguna beach Alam, Kristin Kavalari, and TikTok content
Speaker 2: creator Mark Estes. Of course, you know the Internet loves
Speaker 2: to reject in the lives of complete strangers, So people
Speaker 2: have been pointing out that there is a thirteen year
Speaker 2: age gap. Cavalari is thirty seven, Estes is twenty four.
Speaker 2: So I came across an article about this and pop
Speaker 2: Sugar with this headline quote, Kristen Cavalari's age gap romance
Speaker 2: sparks debate and really this again, So the writer is
Speaker 2: just trying to point out this stark double standard that
Speaker 2: when men date younger women, especially very public men, it
Speaker 2: goes unnoticed, or at least it doesn't seem like they
Speaker 2: are bearing the same brunt of the criticism. Like we
Speaker 2: think about George Clooney, who is seventeen years older than
Speaker 2: Amala Clooney. Ryan Reynolds is eleven years older than Blake Lively.
Speaker 2: We know DiCaprio has a well established off twenty year
Speaker 2: plus age gap, and your uncle Stan is twenty three
Speaker 2: years older than his fourth wife. So let's not pretend
Speaker 2: like this isn't happening in real life too.
Speaker 5: Right, I mean it's just a non issue for me.
Speaker 1: I own me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just don't. I don't care. I really don't care.
Speaker 6: When it's a woman dating a younger.
Speaker 5: Man, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6: You know, we're we're ingrained to see in movies, right.
Speaker 6: We'll see Jack Nicholson in a movie and his wife
Speaker 6: is thirty and he was seventy years old. So we're
Speaker 6: ingrained growing up. I never saw these stink pieces growing up.
Speaker 6: I never saw these think pieces when it was men
Speaker 6: with women.
Speaker 3: Never.
Speaker 6: Whenever it's the woman, you know, being that in that
Speaker 6: position of power kind of I guess the older person
Speaker 6: has the power, or the person with money has the power.
Speaker 6: It's always a thing when the girl from Bridgerton, when
Speaker 6: they did Bridgerton, they were like, oh, you know, interercize relationships,
Speaker 6: and I'm like, there are the size really seen that?
Speaker 6: Or meaning like a smaller guy with a bigger girl.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, it's a name now that it's so
Speaker 6: you know, is now that it's on TV. But it's
Speaker 6: been happening. We don't need that name. That's so unnecessary.
Speaker 5: But it's I find.
Speaker 6: When it's the woman kind of making these decisions, there's
Speaker 6: always got to be a conversation about it.
Speaker 5: Get it, how you live?
Speaker 6: Girl, Like, she's been married, she's had her kids, even
Speaker 6: if she hadn't. I saw this study that says, like
Speaker 6: women tend to like want older men until they get
Speaker 6: to like thirty five, and then they start to.
Speaker 5: Go younger, little younger. I'm about to read that.
Speaker 6: I'm there now, chall and most of the men that
Speaker 6: talk to me are younger than me these days, because
Speaker 6: the men my age want women who are in their twenties.
Speaker 6: So you know, it's a weird dynamic. But I'm just
Speaker 6: at this point in my life. I had a really harsher,
Speaker 6: more judgmental opinion when I was younger, but now I'm like.
Speaker 5: Get how you live, y'all adults? You know, I feel like.
Speaker 6: Over twenty five is a safety zone, so you know,
Speaker 6: go for it.
Speaker 5: I'm not mad at her.
Speaker 3: So I love that you just said over twenty five
Speaker 3: because this guy's twenty four. And so for me personally,
Speaker 3: I don't like to judge other people's relationships. I'm with you,
Speaker 3: but here's my butt, regardless of gender, man, woman, purple,
Speaker 3: don't care. I was twenty maybe and I dated a
Speaker 3: thirty three year old and I loved it.
Speaker 1: At the time, I was so into him. I thought
Speaker 1: it was so cool.
Speaker 3: And now that I'm thirty three and I look back
Speaker 3: on it, I feel really icky about it.
Speaker 1: I feel like he took advantage of me.
Speaker 3: I feel like I didn't understand really what I was
Speaker 3: getting into. And I just think, like, if you're under
Speaker 3: twenty five, that's a great age, Nina, Like, I'm not
Speaker 3: sure you're fully aware of what you're getting into, you.
Speaker 6: Know, twenty You know, there are very few people who
Speaker 6: are you know, I mean there are people who are
Speaker 6: at thirty who aren't mature. So I do agree, like
Speaker 6: twenty two is pushing it, you know, twenty three, twenty four,
Speaker 6: twenty five to me is still very young. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: especially for man. But you know, Kristin out here living honey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it works for you, that's all good.
Speaker 3: I just I know how I feel about it in hindsight,
Speaker 3: and so it hurts my heart a little because I'm like,
Speaker 3: I wonder how they're going to look back on that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I do feel like he seems really
Speaker 6: invested in a relationship. But I look back now in
Speaker 6: my early twenties and I really was just a glorified teenager,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean until at least probably graduated
Speaker 6: college and moved out and like really had to live
Speaker 6: an adulting life. So yeah, it's tricky, but she seems
Speaker 6: really happy. She says she's having the best sex of
Speaker 6: her life. I bet she is, honey, I bet she is.
Speaker 6: She ain't have to stop down and nothing needed a
Speaker 6: little time.
Speaker 5: They need a poll, moddy, Yeah, she can just keep
Speaker 5: on going. Good for her getting that workout.
Speaker 3: Okay, this one, I really want both of your opinions on.
Speaker 3: Do you remember Resa Tisa of course from TikTok of course?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, so if anybody doesn't, Resa Tisa went absolutely viral
Speaker 3: in a way we had an seen before, and she
Speaker 3: did like a fifty sixty part Kicktok story detailing how
Speaker 3: her ex husband played her like play by play.
Speaker 1: He was a real con artist. Okay.
Speaker 3: Now they are making a series about her life and
Speaker 3: this story called who the F Did I Marry?
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: It is getting the TV treatment.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: Is this a first?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: Because Zola happens Sola and and that was and it
Speaker 6: was a really good movie too.
Speaker 1: That's really big.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's happened as a series, but
Speaker 6: it's happened as a movie, but it doesn't happen often.
Speaker 3: Usually like it's a flash in the pan type of
Speaker 3: a thing people get, Like we just saw with Demure
Speaker 3: right that that creator got a bunch of followers. I
Speaker 3: don't know where it goes, but usually they get signed
Speaker 3: to talent managers, make some money with brands, and here we.
Speaker 1: Go, We're having Natasha Rothwell on the show.
Speaker 2: Oh you are I love her, no love her and
Speaker 2: you can do no wrong.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 3: So after a competitive bidding war, it's going to be
Speaker 3: developed and written by Natasha roth Well.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: Who's going to start and produce in it? It's pretty big.
Speaker 5: I can't wait. I'm trying to get my clothes in it.
Speaker 6: I'm like, you should know, I'm I'm We're we're all
Speaker 6: read by the same agency too, So I'm working on
Speaker 6: it because I'm like, oh, y'all.
Speaker 5: Could y'all let me send you some clothes for this show?
Speaker 2: Can we talk about this actual show for a minute, though,
Speaker 2: because this is this is the kind of content that
Speaker 2: I need. Because Danielle, I think you mentioned that it
Speaker 2: was a total of fifty videos and it amassed like
Speaker 2: over eight hours of content in this whole series that
Speaker 2: Resa Tisa created. I don't have time to watch eight
Speaker 2: hours of someone oh no talking to me on so
Speaker 2: I need the abridged television version.
Speaker 5: Wait.
Speaker 3: So it's funny you say that because there were actually
Speaker 3: videos that were recapping the entire thing in three to
Speaker 3: five minutes.
Speaker 5: That's what I watch totally, Okay. I wish I would
Speaker 5: watch that.
Speaker 6: I wish I would sit and watch somebody talk in today,
Speaker 6: phone in a call for fifty hours or whatever how
Speaker 6: long it was a lady lady. I got things to do.
Speaker 6: But I watched threecaps and the recaps were juicy. But
Speaker 6: ain't no way I was watching that. She was taking
Speaker 6: down her curls in one be I was like, girl,
Speaker 6: get off my phone, like this is too much. Got
Speaker 6: it worked for her, so that's good.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for me too.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy for Natasha Rothwell too. She's someone who
Speaker 2: has been such a force, you know, behind the scenes
Speaker 2: for so many years in Hollywood as a writer on SNL,
Speaker 2: as a writer on Insecure, and then she broke out
Speaker 2: as a performer, and you know, she's been on her
Speaker 2: table shows like White lotus. I love that she is
Speaker 2: has the agency right now, yeah, to create and star
Speaker 2: and produce this show.
Speaker 5: I'm so excited for her.
Speaker 6: I just DMed her and was like, I'm so happy
Speaker 6: for you. I genuinely am just happy to see her win.
Speaker 6: And she's so talented. So it would have depended on
Speaker 6: who was associated with this if I was gonna watch.
Speaker 6: I'm one hundred percent locking in now, not because of
Speaker 6: Resa Tisa, but because of Natasha.
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's so cool that you messaged her.
Speaker 3: Do you remember because we all came up in the
Speaker 3: same industry, people were so mean to us. They were
Speaker 3: not supportive, and our generation I think totally changed that
Speaker 3: everybody's rooting for each other.
Speaker 5: You know, for the.
Speaker 6: Most part, you know, this is a couple who ain't
Speaker 6: rooting for you but not you. But I'm saying, don't
Speaker 6: get a couple of negatives. Let's talk not you.
Speaker 2: But you know, you know a lot of people everyone
Speaker 2: loves you, but you know, sometimes you get haters.
Speaker 6: But for the most part, do you feel like we're
Speaker 6: in a very like supportive growth girls industry And you're right,
Speaker 6: like it was pretty vicious and it's still can be.
Speaker 6: You know, you still get stuff that gets back to
Speaker 6: you and you're like, dang. Like I am very much
Speaker 6: of the belief that there's no a bun's for us all.
Speaker 6: So I try to be as supportive as I can
Speaker 6: on the back end to women who I admire, who
Speaker 6: I'm excited about, you know, when I can eventually see
Speaker 6: they content because Instagram suppresses everything these days, so I'll
Speaker 6: be you know, I might be a little late to
Speaker 6: the congratulations, but once I see it, I'm there.
Speaker 2: Well, Nina, this has been so much fun. I'm sorry
Speaker 2: I couldn't be there in studio, but thank you so
Speaker 2: much for popping off with us today.

Speaker 3: Cart this week. We're back, all right, Simon, It's Friday.
Speaker 3: Let's get ready for the weekend with What's in Your Cart?
Speaker 3: Presented by Walmart. This is our weekly segment where we
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to share a product that we are
Speaker 3: loving right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, Danielle, you know I've got a lot of mouths
Speaker 2: to feed, right I know you got a lot. You
Speaker 2: put a little too much grit and soul into that.
Speaker 2: For me, I'm uncomfortable now.
Speaker 1: It's just you.
Speaker 3: Really, two kids and a husband, a whole man is
Speaker 3: a lot to feed, I know.
Speaker 2: So of course I get resourceful, you know, I be
Speaker 2: on the tiktoks looking for the recipes. And also it's
Speaker 2: been really cool to interview home cooks chefs on this show.
Speaker 5: I've learned so much from them.
Speaker 2: Like we have Camilla Alves McConaughey coming up in one
Speaker 2: of our upcoming episodes, and she told us about this
Speaker 2: recipe that is the most in demand recipe in her house.
Speaker 2: It's her honey chicken and I actually just tried making
Speaker 2: it and it came out really good.
Speaker 3: Okay, you are the recipe chemistry master. I'm so glad
Speaker 3: this turned out. Although sometimes you say that and then
Speaker 3: Michael tastes it and he doesn't agree, So I need
Speaker 3: to hear from Michael if it was really delicious.
Speaker 2: This one is certified Michael Approved. It's certified Fresh by Michael,
Speaker 2: so you know it's good. But here's the thing, Danielle.
Speaker 2: I mean, I love trying out these recipes, but my
Speaker 2: kitchen just it becomes a mess as I'm like doing
Speaker 2: meal prep and it's so chaotic, and I always am
Speaker 2: looking for a place to put my leftovers because one
Speaker 2: thing about me, I really struggle with tupperware.
Speaker 5: It's my weakness in life.
Speaker 1: Do I need to send you some tupperware?
Speaker 2: Well, I would say yes, but actually I just found
Speaker 2: the best thing on Walmart dot com. It's the Full
Speaker 2: Star fifty pieces meal prep container and food storage container set.
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, tell me more.
Speaker 2: So what I like about these is that they're stackable,
Speaker 2: which means that it makes my fridge look more streamlined.
Speaker 2: They're BPA free, so we love the non toxic factor there.
Speaker 2: And they have these snappable lids that keep my recipes
Speaker 2: from spilling or keep my kids from spilling them once
Speaker 2: they're inside their lunch box.
Speaker 1: You had me at BPA free.
Speaker 3: I hope you know that I love this, and I
Speaker 3: promise you, once I learn how to cook, I will
Speaker 3: stock my pantry with these.
