00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: I feel like it's tradition. I have to say, we

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: made it to Friday.

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: Tgif we made it, we made it.

Speaker 1: Okay, we are popping off because it is Friday, and

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: today we're talking the best rom comms of all time,

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: surprise music reunions, and an R and B king who

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: says he never eats on Wednesdays.

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: How tragic we never skip a meal.

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: Well, before we dig into the biggest moments of the week,

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: Simon and I want to spotlight our favorite moment of

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: the week, brought to you by our friends at BMW.

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Yes, and the spotlight of the week is going to

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: a who will forever be an icon. And I do

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: not use that word lightly. It's Celine Dion. This week

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: she made a rare public appearance at the premiere of

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: her new documentary I Am Selene Dion. And in the documentary,

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: she gives audiences an unfiltered look at her life as

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: she navigates a very rare illness.

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: It's called stiff persons syndrome.

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: You know, she's been so open about her battle with

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: stiff person syndrome, which is a rare neurological and autoimmune

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: disorder that causes stiffness in her muscles and sadly, it

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: impacts her ability to move and to sing, and so

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: she's had to cancel performances and stop her successful Vegas

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: show as a result, and it's been hard to watch.

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 4: She's our Selene Dion.

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I know we all feel this like collective sense of

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: ownership over her because she's been such a huge part

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: of our lives and she continues to be this embodiment

39
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: of resilience and vulnerability. Not only has she shared this

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: struggle pretty publicly, but she's also been so candid about

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: the challenges of raising her kids as a single mom

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: after the passing of her husband in twenty sixteen.

43
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: I mean, talk about resilience.

44
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: I am just in awe of her and I cannot

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: wait to spend my weekend blasting Selene bangers and counting

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: down the minutes until I can watch this documentary.

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: Honestly, it looks so good and I think we're going

48
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: to get a breath of who Selene Dion is at

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: this moment. The documentary received a standing ovation at the

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: premiere this week, not surprisingly but very exciting to see,

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: and Selene called it a love letter to each of us.

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see what she means by that,

53
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see this. It comes out next

54
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: week on June twenty fifth.

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,800

00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: the red carpet.

86
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: Did you see those bright yellow crocks?

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: I did?

88
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: I did? I did?

89
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Is now the time to discuss Brookshields dinner crocks? Or

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: to unpack this. Was it a comfort thing? I mean,

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: what was going on there?

94
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 5: I am like a Jone Rivers of the Red Carpet, y'all,

95
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 5: like I'd be at home in my pajamas on my

96
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 5: phone rating everyone's outfits.

97
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: I just couldn't understand it, Like I couldn't make sense.

98
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: Hit, I'm gonna make the two of you feel so

99
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: bad after this.

100
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: You're ready?

101
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: No, No, she has surgery and so she showed up

102
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: to the Tonys even so.

103
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: I love the crocs.

104
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a cuter way to do that.

105
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be. I just feel like

106
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: there's a cutter way to do it. Like, I just

107
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: feel like I'm did the doctor prescribe the crops?

108
00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 5: Yell?

109
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: It was cute, Danielle. I'm not hated, Danielle.

110
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 5: I don't like Wow, Apple, like Sketchers has something that

111
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: could have worked a little bit better than the cropping

112
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 5: orthopedic from Sketchers.

113
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: Do you know what?

114
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: I'm Sketcher's collab.

115
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: I just think there are other options besides crocs, like

116
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I get it, girlfriends and recovery, like I no shade

117
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: on that front. But Freda Salvador makes really cute braided flats,

118
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: like there are a ballerina flats, like they are all

119
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: different kinds of thweat's.

120
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: So poor you can't wear a flat post surgery, you

121
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 4: know what? Never mind, I'm moving on. I don't agree

122
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: with the two of you.

123
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: We're talking Tony So Angelina Jolie attended with her daughter Vivian.

124
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: Daniel Radcliffe won for his role and Merrily we roll

125
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: along and he gave a really moving speech while his

126
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: co star Jonathan Groff got pretty emotional. But this is

127
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: the moment that had me on my feet watching and

128
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: the internet ablaze. There was a surprise reunion and performance

129
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: with Alicia Keys and jay Z.

130
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: Did you guys watch this?

131
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: Yes? So good, so good? But why was I still cringing?

132
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: Like I still felt like someone was gonna walk on stage?

133
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: I know, I think we're all waiting for her Lo

134
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: Mama to walk on.

135
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: Stage, like I was like, oh, like is something gonna happen?

136
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 5: Like I'm scared? And then after the end, I had

137
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: like a deep breath. Okay, great job, guys, Simone.

138
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: Will you give everyone a background in case they don't

139
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: know about.

140
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: The Little Mama moment.

141
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: Yes, of course.

142
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: So the last time that they performed this song together

143
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: was that the VMA Is in two thousand and nine,

144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and Lot Mama notoriously crashed their moment. I think she

145
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: just got so overwhelmed and overcome by the lyrics and

146
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: the emotionality of the song, and she just she walked

147
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: up into their performance and thought that she was completing

148
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: their ensemble up there.

149
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: It kind of ruined her career. To be honest, yes,

150
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 4: I will say.

151
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 5: She's on records saying is the moment that ruined her career?

152
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: She has said.

153
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, though, the Internet has totally embraced

154
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: that moment. I feel like people like love rewatching that

155
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: moment and talking about that moment. So I'm like, why

156
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: don't y'all just make it a trio, get Little Mama

157
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: on the track, you know, bring her up for the

158
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: next performance. Give the internet what they want, give the

159
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: people what they want.

160
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: But I think what they wanted was a jay Z performance.

161
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: He's been kind of out and about recently in a way.

162
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: We haven't seen him in a while. Are they older

163
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: on stage? Yes, it's not. The Empire state of Mind

164
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: music video that we saw back in the day, but

165
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: I love it. There's like so much nostalgia there. So

166
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: my question to you is, was this what's next? Was

167
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: the Tony's moment the moment that she was alluding to,

168
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: or is there a potential collab in the future.

169
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 5: I hope there's a potential collab in the future. Alicia

170
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 5: has been trailblazing. I mean, she just had like an

171
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 5: amazing tour and she's doing like a bunch of artwork.

172
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: Hell's Kitchen, her Broadway show. She was not dominated for

173
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: thirteen Tonys for that show.

174
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm hoping that there's more with her and jay Z,

175
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 5: and I want more from jay Z, Like I feel

176
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: like we're seeing a lot of him on the business front,

177
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 5: but we want more music, Like we're okay, Sean Carter,

178
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 5: we want jay Z bring hove back.

179
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: Okay.

180
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Another collaboration that is taking over the internet, y'all, and

181
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: it is striking deep at the core of our nostalgic

182
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: heartstrings comes from Ariana Grande. So on her most recent album,

183
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: Eternal Sunshine, Ariana released a track called the Boy Is Mine. Obviously,

184
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: there are all these immediate comparisons to a nineties classic

185
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: between Brandy and Monica of the same name. That song

186
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: lives rent free in my mind. I don't know about

187
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: you two, but have you heard Ariana's track? What do

188
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: you think about the overlap here?

189
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: I love the overlap. I love Ariana's track.

190
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 5: I just really want to get into the collab of

191
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 5: Brandy and Monica, guys, like this is long overdue again obviously,

192
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys know, but there's so

193
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: much like unspoken between the two of them, and everyone's

194
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 5: always kind of pitting them against each other. So I

195
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 5: feel like for them to come out and be like

196
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: the dramas coming from y'all and not ours, Like we

197
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 5: are legends, we are coexisting, we are bossing, we are

198
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: killing it, creating history together. I just I cannot wait.

199
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: And I loved the music video. Did you guys see

200
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 5: the music video?

201
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: It was so good and there's a remix dropping now.

202
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: But here's what I'm curious about, because I'm sitting here

203
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: trying so hard not to sing the original boy as Mine,

204
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: like that song is just so in all of us

205
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: that grew up in that moment. But we keep seeing

206
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: this nostalgia, Like we just talked about Alicia and jay Z,

207
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: what do you think it is that we're craving all this?

208
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: Like what did the two thousands give us that we're

209
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: not getting right now?

210
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: People are craving a simpler time. I mean, we were

211
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: all either kids or teenagers in the nineties and two thousands,

212
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: if we're talking about millennials and you know, older gen

213
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: Z folks, And I think we're all craving that simplest

214
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: of growing up then having fewer responsibilities. The world seemed

215
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: like a simpler place back then. I also feel like

216
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: we just like pure music. We like what makes us

217
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: feel good, and I'm always resorting to.

218
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: What makes me feel good.

219
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, I have a different thought. I think we're

220
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: getting old. I think that we have crossed over into

221
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: true adulthood because I remember being in the car with

222
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: my parents and they would put on like the Rolling

223
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: Stones or the Eagles, and they would be like, oh it,

224
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: remember these classics in college? Like that was their music,

225
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: Tina Turner. Now this is our music, Like we feel

226
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: these memories connected to this music of our childhood, of

227
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: high school, of college, of riding around in cars with

228
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: our friends, of dancing at parties, and we are craving

229
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: those memories like we are officially old.

230
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Yes, and there is something to be said for the

231
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: fact that the music of yesteryear was just higher quality.

232
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: If you look at it holistically, it was higher quality.

233
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: Helly, yes, it was more pure, like MO said, and

234
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: everything else now that we're getting is derivative from that.

235
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: Yes, everyone is sampling.

236
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: This is proving my point that you are old because

237
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: that is what our parents said.

238
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 4: That is exactly what our parents.

239
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Said, because it was correct, because it's true. Okay, I

240
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: have a question before we move on to our next topic.

241
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: What are some other Y two K collabs or songs

242
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: that you would love to.

243
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,160

248
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,640

00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: I love that.

Speaker 1: I need the five part harmonies. Where are the five

00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: part harmonies?

253
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 5: I want to hear the boys crying in the songs

254
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: like I want to hear the emotion and the muse like.

255
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for a Destiny's Child moment. I'm waiting for

256
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 2: TLC kind of tried. They brought Lotto in instead of

257
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: Left Eye. It didn't really work. That's a tough one. Yeah,

00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: to be honest, Like I didn't grow up loving them.

283
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: But now I think I'm softening to them. I'm like

284
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: opening myself up to them more. I love that Simon,

285
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,400

Speaker 1: you could get. Is we're just in a rom com.

Speaker 1: it's a period rom com. I have to tell you.

289

Speaker 1: Rom Coms are my genre. They are the they are what.

290
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: I consider cinema. I love the rom com genre. They

00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: make me so happy and Moe I agree. I watch

308
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: I was there for the jousting, and then the romance

309
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: was like a side, like a juicy little side.

310
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well, speaking of period pieces, P and Prejudice, but

325
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,880

331
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 5: who is making these lists? If you're going to pull

332
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 5: a list out, I need to know who's making them.

333
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 5: I need to know their social security. I need to

334
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: know where they grew up. I need to know what

335
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: kind of music they listen to, what gives them the

336
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 5: credigious How many rom coms have they watched their entire life?

337
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 5: Because like Sabrina's number one, cause way it's a classic,

338
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 5: Like I don't I've never seen it.

339
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,640

342
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: To me, I want to give you my new list

343
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: because I agree with you. I don't think this person

00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: was credentialed everything. Julia Roberts notting Hill, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride.

345
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: If she's in it, it's a rom com to me,

346
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: Sweet Home Alabama, classic rom com, How Stella Got Her

Speaker 4: Classic?

352

Speaker 5: Yes, all the Nancy Meyers movies, Crazy Rich Aisans is

353
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 5: so low on this list. This Crazy Rich Asians is

354
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: like a top five movie of all time for me.

355
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry, Like, that movie is amazing. I can

356
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: watch that movie backwards. That movie is so good.

357
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: I feel the same with what we need to do, Danielle.

358
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: We need to let's release our own bright side version

359
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: of the best twenty five rom coms and we'll post

360
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: it on our social media.

361
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 4: I love this so much. We could do it right now.

362
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 4: It's so easy.

363
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: Up next is a story that I'm really having a

364
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: hard time digesting. A major celebrity is making news about fasting.

365
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: And I'd love to make this feel like it's a

366
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: news story, because yes, it was a conversation in the

367
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal. But I'm just gonna put this out there.

368
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: Usher doesn't eat on Wednesdays. I don't understand Usher is

369
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: claiming that he's intermittent fasting. Let me start by saying,

370
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: there are several different types of fasting that you can do.

371
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: Intermittent fasting is one of them where you only eat

372
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: during a certain window of time during the day.

373
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: But he doesn't eat all Wednesday.

374
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a more extreme form of fasting.

375
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people are turning to fasting these days

376
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: because of alleged anti aging properties or longevity properties that

377
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: you can gain from these eating habits. I saw this story,

378
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: and it's concerning to me, honestly, because he's talking about

379
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: this drink that he makes. The drink has lemon juice,

380
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: cayenne water, perhaps a couple of other ingredients. But does

381
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: anyone remember that this drink was around during like the

382
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: early two thousands, like during like the Heroin Chic skinny craze,

383
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: and celebrities were drinking this detox drink and not eating

384
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: much else. I just worry about this creating this new

385
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: cycle of like really unhealthy eating habits and body image

386
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: issues for women.

387
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 5: Yes, and I also feel like, you know, Kim Kardashian

388
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 5: couldn't come out and say that she was doing this

389
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 5: or Beyonce could not come out and say that she

390
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 5: was doing this or Qy. Literally, any woman could not

391
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 5: come out and saying that they do not eat on

392
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 5: Wednesday without getting ripped to shreds by the media. So

393
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 5: I just feel like I understand and fasting I do,

394
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: especially like spiritually, I think it's a great way to

395
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 5: like discipline yourself. Point yeah, like discipline yourself. But it

396
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 5: doesn't seem like there is any spiritual reasoning to this.

397
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 5: It's more like I want to be skinny, you know

398
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 5: what I mean, That's what it seemed like.

399
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: I just feel like about six months ago, there was

400
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: rhetoric online about Simone you mentioned, like nineties heroin chic,

401
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: like that moment coming back in time. People were starting

402
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: to talk about how we're valorizing thinness again. After I

403
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: think we did like ten years of unlearning that, like

404
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: we finally embraced real bodies, and I'm bummed to hear that.

405
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: It feels like it's back in the cultural zeitgeist. What's

406
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: interesting to me is that it's back with men too.

407
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: Like in the nineties it was just women. Now it's everybody.

408
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: I mean, at least we're doing equal opportunities than here,

409
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 2: but I don't appreciate this movement.

410
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really hope that this is not indicative of

411
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: like a larger, more widespread trend. We're we're reverting back

412
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: to those really toxic eating habits and body image perceptions.

413
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: The thing with fasting is that men and women our

414
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: bodies are wired completely differently, and our hormonal cycles are

415
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: completely different. So if this works for Usher, great, I

416
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: hope that he's consulting with his doctor about a healthy

417
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: way to do this. This is not going to work

418
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: for women, So I just hope that women don't copy

419
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: this and try to do this, because if we don't

420
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: eat for an entire day, our hormones are going to

421
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: be completely out of whack.

422
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree.

423
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 5: There's so many dangers that come with all of these fast,

424
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: skinny dieting trends, and so many long term harmful effects

425
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: that come with this. So let's just do what works

426
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 5: for our bodies, and let's just be our best selves

427
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 5: and be healthy and have long, healthy lives.

428
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: I love how you said that so much because I

429
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: keep repeating to myself, my body is not a trend.

430
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 4: My body is not a trend.

431
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: And I know it's like a little bit of a platitude,

432
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: but it helps me remind myself not to buy into

433
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: any of these trends. As you said, Mo, like my

434
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: body is not a trend.

435
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we have so much more to talk about,

436
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: but we got to go to a short break.

437
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: Stay with us. We'll be right back, and we're back

438
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 3: with Moe Diggs.

439
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 4: So I'm a single girl.

440
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: Moe and Simone are both married, and this next story

441
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: is all about.

442
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: An engagement ring.

443
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: We love engagement rings, sagas. On the bright side, I

444
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: am dying to know what you think about this. You

445
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: have to bear with me a little bit. I'm gonna

446
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: take you on a journey of this story. Okay, okay.

447
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: So a man went on Reddit to talk about how

448
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: he told his girlfriend she wasn't worth a ten thousand

449
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: dollars ring. Guys, so he's been talking about proposing to

450
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 2: his girlfriend. He starts sending her rings in the fifteen

451
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 2: hundred to eighteen hundred dollars range. She starts sending him

452
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: more expensive rings between like the six thousand to ten

453
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: thousand dollars range. He says that is way too expensive,

454
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: that no one is worth a ten thousand dollars ring.

455
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: So let me ask you, can you put a price

456
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: tag on love?

457
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: Certainly? Not that is that is insane? Insane?

458
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 4: True or insane?

459
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: Bad?

460
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: No?

461
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 5: No, no, okay. So I have a couple thoughts on this.

462
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 5: This is my expertise. I love some of my relationships.

463
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 3: Guys.

464
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 5: I just feel like, if a man can come out

465
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 5: of his mouth to your face and tell you that

466
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 5: you are not worth anything in this life, not even

467
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: a ring, just anything, you need to let him go.

468
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 3: Just let him go. That's yeah, that's it, see you later,

469
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: see it. Never how about that?

470
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: Hm?

471
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: But on the topic of who is worth what? And

472
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: I just feel like, if.

473
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 5: She's telling you she wants a tenth or six thousand

474
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 5: dollar ring, she obviously knows, and you guys are talking

475
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 5: about marriage. She knows where y'all stay at financially, She's

476
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 5: women are we are not crazy. So I feel like

477
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 5: you obviously can somewhat afford something around that rage.

478
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: And I just feel like if you can afford, can't

479
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: even afford. Does he talk about how much he makes

480
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: out all.

481
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 4: Danielle, No, we don't know how much he makes.

482
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I just feel like, if you love this

483
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 5: woman and she knows your podcast, and she knows how

484
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 5: much you can make. I am also not against like

485
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 5: moist nights and of more affordable rings, like, I'm not

486
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 5: against it.

487
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: I don't have one. My man didn't get me one.

488
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: But I'm not against it. I just feel like for you.

489
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 5: To tell her that, for you to just tell her

490
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 5: that she's not worth xyz, it's insane like for you

491
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 5: to even want to marry her. She's poured so much

492
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 5: into you, so for you to say she's not worth

493
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 5: a ten thousand dollars ring.

494
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: No, woman, let me say. You don't want to know

495
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: how much my ring calls been, like my husband won't

496
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: tell me how much firing costs. I wish. I that's interesting.

497
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: Why the mystery? They want to keep the mystery. I

498
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: think it's cute. I think it's cute that he doesn't

499
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: want to tell me. But for me, I got to

500
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: agree with mo it's the sentiment behind the statement that

501
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: you're not worth a ten thousand dollars ring that really

502
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: bothers me. I don't think that we should be putting

503
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: outsized pressure on the man to produce a ring that's

504
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: out of his means. That's just going to I think

505
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: create a lot of stress in the relationship. It's really

506
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: not it's not about the ring. It's not about the

507
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: price of the ring, but it is important to consider

508
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: what this ring represents to your fiance, and it's clearly

509
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: something that's really important to her. She wants it to

510
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: be something that she's happy with, and it's going to

511
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: be this permanent symbol, hopefully of your everlasting love. So

512
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 1: to just outright say you're not worth a ten thousand

513
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: dollars ring, that tells me everything I need to know

514
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: about this man, And I'm sorry, like this conversation that

515
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: would kind of be a deal breaker for me because

516
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: it's not Again, it's not about the price of the ring.

517
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: But if a man said that to me, I would

518
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: be like, hmmm, I think I'm making a mistake.

519
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna walk away.

520
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you should not be able to tell me that

521
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 5: I am not worth anything. You should be telling me

522
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 5: that I'm priceless to begin with. There's no cost to

523
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: my you know what I mean, Like, there's no cost

524
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 5: to my who I am and my being. And for

525
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 5: you to be like you're not worth a ten thousand

526
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 5: dollar ring, I don't think anybody's worth ten thousand dollar ring,

527
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: no thing.

528
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: You know what you can say, you can say I

529
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: would love to get you a ten thousand dollars ring.

530
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: I can't afford it right now. I'm going to get

531
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: you this ring, but let's upgrade it in five years.

532
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: Let's upgrade it at our ten year anniversary. Like I

533
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: want to get you, I want to work towards your dream.

534

535
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 5: the relationships of today, Like this is something that could

536
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 5: be easily solved with one conversation, with transparency and just

537
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 5: sharing your emotions about how you feel about what right.

538
