Dark Energy Tuesday (Alix Earle v. Alex Cooper, Justin Bieber, West & Amanda Updates, “Ladies of London”)

22:15West Wilson:And to be called weird ass is like such an insult, but like it perfectly describes her aura. She's a bizarre person. She's bizarre. Yeah, truly bizarre. Whether it's working or recording, I'm basically always on Zoom calls like all day long. So I always want to be comfortable while also looking appropriate for my co-workers and also are baby snarks and Christy, of course. And that's why I'm obsessed with Honey Love bras. The crossover bra is my personal favorite. It's so comfortable and it disappears under t-shirts, sweaters, and all my tops. It's wire-free, but still so supportive thanks to its special bonding technology, which is so perfect.

22:57It's the softest fabric. I literally forget I'm wearing it. Honey Love lives up to the hype, you guys. I'd heard so much about the brand from so many people, but I didn't truly understand until I tried for myself. And for when I do occasionally leave my house, I love their shapewear.

His favorite and my favorite is the mini pancake cake puffs with chicken, vegetable, maple, sausage, and sweet potato, along with the mac and cheese with invisible butternut squash and carrots. Hungry just talking about it. Littlespoon also has the best snacks for when your toddler is on the go. Miles loves the puffs.

28:38Can we please talk about Justin Bieber? Oh, yeah, yeah. Weekend 2. What did you think? It's very important to me that I talk about this because, admittedly, Weekend 1, I did not watch his entire set. So I was doing Couchella on Saturday evening, sat my ass on the couch, turned off all the lights, watched the live stream on YouTube. And I have never felt such an immersive experience at a show that I wasn't even a part of. I felt that the production of the remote watchers was so well done. I don't know if that's how all the Coachella live streams was, but I can speak for Justin's. It was incredible.

29:10First, he started off the show by saying, like, thank you so much. I have so much adrenaline right now. I could tell that he was far more comfortable. And just based on the conversation people are having online, Weekend 2 was, I don't want to say objectively because it's very subjective. But I think a lot of people would say Weekend 2 was a far better performance for Justin and for the audience than Weekend 1. Again, I'm not trying to shade Weekend 1 viewers because I think that was also very special. It was the first time he's performed in years. But Weekend 2 was something very special. And I think a lot of that had to do with his comfortability.

29:39I think his team and him really took the feedback on what people criticized about Weekend 1 and tried to kind of like alter the perception. And they really brought it Weekend 2. His vocals were absolutely unbelievable. I felt like Weekend 1, he was kind of phoning it in. He was a little bit nervous. But his vocals is like that buttery, smooth Justin that I remember. I hate I hate I know you don't like the buttery song I hate that no I love when I always like to describe his voice as buttery because it's a buttery voice and I genuinely started to cry in the middle of it unironically I didn't think I was going to get emotional but when he started singing one time and to see the happiness on his face was like so special I cannot describe it like I genuinely just got so emotional and let me just not talk about all the guests that he had on I I personally love Big Sean.

30:28I've been a Big Sean fan since 09. And when he brought him out for As Long As You Love Me, I was like literally singing in my couch. As long as you... I was obsessed. And the kind of speech that Sean did after when he was like, all you've given to us was just like, you give, give, give. And everyone just seems to take, take, take. And you never like let that affect you. You just want to continue giving to the world. And like you've given your entire life to us since you were 12 years old. And like, I want to thank you on behalf of everyone here and everyone watching. Like, we really respect you and thank you for all that you've done and given to us.

31:02I thought that was really special. The Billie Eilish, One Less Lonely Girl. Knowing how much that Justin Bieber has meant to Billie Eilish for since she was a child. Like, I was watching old videos of her saying, I could never get a boyfriend because I will never love him as much as I love Justin Bieber. And like, before bed, I always kiss my posters goodnight. Like, she was a believer to like the nth degree. and to see her get pulled up for one less lonely girl was so special and to see Haley like urging her to go up go up it was just so sweet and Justin just like is so hot like watching him I was like oh my god he's back he's so back so I think I completely agree with you that he seems so comfortable weekend two compared to weekend one and he was incredible weekend one but the amount of love and positive feedback he's gotten since weekend one.

31:51I feel like he just went on that stage so much more confident. Yes. And he knew that he was being received well and that people love him. People adore him. People feel such strong nostalgia for him. And I saw a tweet that was like, the world feels right when it's revolving around Justin Bieber again. It does. We all have Bieber fever. And he was going out in the audience, like interacting with fans. And he just seemed so happy and such a genuine smile on his face the entire time. Yeah. Oh, my God. He just, I loved it. There was this, he was going out into the audience a lot. And people have a lot of things to say about how the girls at the front were, like, groping him and stuff.

32:28He seemed to love it. He, like, grabbed one of their arms. He seemed to really like it. He was really interacting with the audience. And there was this one part that I thought was so sweet. There was this man. He looked like he was, like, 25, like this kid. And he didn't have his phone. every girl had their phone up right and was trying to take the video with Justin this guy was just like dabbed but like Justin people went up to him shook his hand and like the guy like didn't have his phone he was just living in the moment and it was the sweetest coolest thing like I was like this is so cute and you just know that he knew the people that were up at the front have been waiting for 12 hours like they camped out there all day he knows that those are the OG believers like even me as an OG believer you better believe I'm not sitting in the hot sun for 12 hours to be Because then you're literally missing every other set, every other musician.

33:15You sacrifice the entire day. The entire day just to get front row at Justin Bieber, which the Beliebers do. Yes. And it was just so sweet to see everyone just so happy for him. And when he did Speed Demon and he was like basically crowd surfing in the crowd, not really, but he was like leaned back so far that he was essentially crowd surfing. It was so cute to see him connect with the audience at that level. and I don't know. I just, a part of me was healed. Between that and Hilary Duff, I talked about this when I saw her back in a couple months ago in February. It was so refreshing and like, I felt connected to my younger self and I think that's what he did when he was playing his old music.

33:53Yeah, I'm so happy for you. I will say regarding Weekend 2, I was so shocked by the reception of Sabrina Carpenter bringing out Madonna. The crowd was not impressed. And I know I've never been to Coachella. So basically, Madonna comes out and you hear strike a pose, Vogue, obviously. Yes. Like, incredible. Iconic. And the audience was not excited. I think maybe it's a different generation that just does not care about Madonna that much, I guess. Or, you know, like I said, I've never been to Coachella. I don't know if they were, like, tired. You're probably really tired by the end of the night because you've been on your feet in the sun all day.

34:37But like, what the fuck was that? Yeah. The audience, Weekend 2, is getting a lot of heat. They're like, do you guys not know that you have a pop legend in front of you? And like, there will be no Britney Spears. There will be no Christina Aguilera. There will be no Sabrina Carpenter if you do not have Madonna. She paid the way for pop stars to come after her. And it's kind of funny because if you think about it, like we as a generation would understand the iconicness of her, I think Gen Z doesn't understand it as much. And to no fault of their own, like they didn't. Madonna was like, I feel like they probably the way that we saw Madonna when we were kids is how probably they see Britney Spears.

35:12So they almost skipped a generation. I'm not excusing it, but I don't think they understood the impact of what that meant for the music industry. Yeah, that was just very, very interesting. But again, I don't know. Like you could talk it up unsettling. You could chalk it up to them being tired after a long day. I don't know. Who knows? Let's touch on the Alex Cooper, Alex Earl, Brianna Chicken Fry drama. Oh, yeah. So it's funny. Shannon of Fluently Forward has been texting me like almost every day saying, if Alex Earl doesn't respond by midnight, I'm going daddy-ing. And I was like, that's so funny.

35:50Shannon's like, I'm losing sleep over this. Like, I need Alex Earl to address it. And I'm like, likewise, I really need her to just settle the score and tell us what's up. But if you guys are unfamiliar, well, sorry, before I get back to the Be Better stuff, where does Brianna Chicken Fry come into this? Because I'm kind of basically what I saw in Soviet, correct me if I'm missing anything. Brianna Chicken Fry weighed in and said, listen, I know you're releasing all the DMs between us, Alex Cooper, but let me tell you what actually happened. There was a time in life when I was a fan of you and I respected you.

36:19But I think things soured when the Unwild Network took on Grace O'Malley, when Brianna and Grace were having a fallout. And I think that's when Brianna didn't start to fuck with Alex Cooper, right? And she basically said, like, I just find you to be a mean girl. Didn't she say that? Or did they ever interact, Brianna and Alex Cooper, that made her think that? Well, Brianna, I don't know. I can't keep up. As soon as Brianna entered the conversation, I kind of lost interest. Yeah. I don't care anymore. It kind of, it just, it lost its je ne sais quoi to me. I was like, ew, Brianna's chicken fries involved?

36:52I just, this is, this is some low base bullshit. Bullshit. what's that from again um oc real houses orange county oh yeah um talking to

37:05West Wilson:yeah the restaurant the sushi restaurant yeah like i'm sorry am i the only one as soon as brianna chicken fries involved i'm like i think i'm above yeah no no i mean i think that's correct she posted some dms of her and alex cooper being cordial and settling the score because i think there are some misunderstandings between them and then they were like i really respect what you're building. And I honestly don't know. Like, I kind of was confused and part of me was convinced that this was like a PR stunt. Now I don't think it was. But the reason I thought it was a PR stunt at first is because Alex Cooper is, I said this to you, famously a pussy.

37:38She has never, ever once really stood up to anyone, not anyone that she has ever interviewed, not really even Sophia. Correct. Yep. And she is just kind of, she seems kind of, I know this sounds like a crazy oxymoron when you're describing Alex Cooper, but she does seem kind of meek when it comes to confrontation. So I just was shocked that she would like call out Alex Earl. And then Alex Earl was like, okay, I'm on it. And I was like, wait, this seems like PR. Yes. And then Alex Earl hasn't responded. And then I, you know, started to lose interest. And I also don't think that Alex Earl needs to respond.

38:15Like, I think that she's above it. She's like on top of the world. She's the it girl. She has enough going on. She just dropped a skincare line. I don't think she needs any, you know, bad PR if she says the wrong thing. And Alex Cooper, I'm sorry, no one is like standing Alex Cooper these days. I guess there is daddy gang, obviously, but I think that Alex Earl is far more relevant than Alex Cooper. And I don't know, I just I've kind of lost interest, but I will say that Be Better video, this TikToker who was like, this is what happened. It's because Alex Earle is a Trumper and her dad, her manager is a Trumper.

38:52And Alex Cooper interviewed Kamala Harris. And Alex Cooper is so liberal. And Alex Earle wanted to interview Trump or something like something about politics being at the root of it. Yeah. And to that I say that sounded like Alex Cooper PR. That sounded like a plant. 100%. And interestingly enough, to that point, Alex Cooper pinned a TikTok on her TikTok. I went on her TikTok yesterday to confirm it. She did post a video of her saying something about, like, Trump and a stripper. Hold on. I want to actually say this correctly because I don't want to botch this. Oh, she was like people that— She was shading Alex Earl.

39:29Yeah. She was like, people—I know exactly what you're talking about. Okay. This is what it says. I just saw a girl say idolizing Trump is like thinking the stripper actually likes you. And she pinned that recently. And so that's in response to, one, I think the Be Better allegations that the root of their issue stems from Alex Earle and her family being Trump supporters. Yes. And Alex Earle also posting a video of her pole dancing. So Alex Cooper is leaning into the rhetoric of, yeah, if you want to ask me, it is related to politics. I don't think it is. I think that's a very easy cop-out, Alex Cooper, because, you know, anytime that you say any influencer is a Trump supporter, people will latch onto that and attack.

40:07and she knows what she's doing when she speaks on that about Alex Earl. And not that that's not true. Like, I think that there is evidence that Alex Earl and her family are Trump supporters. 100%. Oh, no, no, absolutely. That seemed like PR from Alex Cooper. Like, it didn't seem legitimate. It's a convenient thing to just, I don't know. It's a convenient argument for Alex Cooper to have, and I don't think that has anything to do with why they are upset with each other. I actually disagree about Alex Earl not needing to confirm it. I think because Alex Earl has been, she's been pushing out so much smoke against Cooper subtly through these reposts and retweets.

40:47And once Alex Cooper demands of her to say something, then she goes silent. I think that if this were unprovoked and Alex Cooper just came out swinging and started attacking Alex Earl. Yeah, you're right. I don't need to say anything. But it's Alex Earl that has started this waging against, waging a war against Alex suddenly I think she does need to respond to it because people are begging her to and if you go to every single post that she writes the first comments with like thousands and thousands of likes are respond to it respond to it respond but we want to know so I think it's like it's one thing if Alex Earl didn't start it but now she's really started something and I think she has to respond to it to finish it now yeah exactly exactly it's but I completely agree if Alex Cooper just came out swinging out of nowhere it's like dude don't even give it airtime like you're better than this And I think for real, Alex Earl is better than Alex Cooper.

41:31And I think that the public opinion between the two is Alex Earl's is far more favorable. I think that it's more salacious than anything because all we've heard about Alex Cooper and her camp is that they're hard to work with. Matt Kaplan runs the show. She's kind of a nightmare. And I think people, whether or not we want to admit it, we're kind of waiting for her downfall. And we want Alex Cooper to kind of like put the nail in the coffin and like prove us right. And I don't know. It's just people love girl on girl crime. Like we've seen that for decades, like Hillary versus Lindsay, Christina versus Britney, Alex versus Alex.

42:03Like the media loves to spin this. And I think unfortunately or fortunately for both of them, they are playing into it super hard. And it's kind of rising both of their relevancy right now. Like we're loving this. Yeah. I also read, and I do not know the veracity of this, obviously. It was just like, I can't even remember where I read it, honestly. It was saying that the reason that Alex Cooper decided to call out Alex Earl was to take attention away from a hit piece that was dropping against Alex and Unwell Network. I don't know, again, if there's any legitimacy to this rumor, but that is also a rumor.

42:38And then another thing B Better said, and this is also why it sounded like PR, he was like, Alex Cooper was like a really good boss. And she basically was paying Alex Earl a million dollars a year, but Alex Earl wasn't happy about that. And it was basically like Alex Cooper is daring Alex Earl to speak out because anything that Alex Earl says will just make her look bad because Alex Cooper didn't do anything wrong. It seems like, you know, Alex Cooper, everyone else is an asshole. Does that make you the asshole? Because what about the daily pop culture show that got canceled after, you know, just a few months, basically?

43:11And that was three girls hosting that on SiriusXM under the Unwell Network. And they, all of those hosts have been retweeting, reposting shady things about Alex Cooper. So it seems like no podcast host ever thrives under the Unwell Network, which is what we've always said. We were like, where, like, where do these podcasts go? Like what happens to even talking about Grace O'Malley? What happened to Grace's podcast? Right. I'm telling you, the only podcast I ever hear about from Unwell is Harry Jousey's. Yeah. Like even like Avery Woods' Cheers. Yeah. Or Halle Batchelder's. I feel like Halle Batchelder's and Harry Jousey's are kind of the only ones I ever see on my algorithm.

43:49But I mean, that could just be my algorithm. I yeah, it's it's when I when I met Alex Hooper, she was very nice. but again that was in 2021 so she's blown up a lot since then but she was very lovely and so was her husband but who knows they might be nightmares to to work with and i think that it's we've always said it and i think you're the one that brought this up initially where alex cooper interviews so many celebrities and she doesn't end up becoming friends with them whereas alex earl like she has a good reputation i think in the industry she's always spotted with like eight list people and i think that's just a testament to like how she operates and how she's her reputation, I think.

44:27Your reputation will precede you, and Alex Cooper doesn't seem to have a good one. Right. That's what it seems like, at least. What do you guys think? Are you team Licks or Lex? Let us know. I quickly want to talk about Ladies of London, which I don't think you're watching, are you? No, I haven't been watching it. Oh my god, you need to watch it. You need to watch it. I know. I've been watching Rhode Island. That's my reason. I need to watch the new episode of Rhode Island that dropped last night. It's kind of like, that episode three wasn't, it felt too put on and produce. Like the women kind of are too aware of the cameras and it's kind of like annoying me.

44:58But sorry, Ladies of London. I haven't watched it yet. I watched the first two episodes, but not the third episode. Anyway, Ladies of London, Margot is, this is an incredible cast. I really like everyone, honestly. Martha's my favorite. I also like Marc Francis, Emma, Micah, Lottie, even Missy, I think is really nice. Kimmy, I will get to Kimmy. Margot is obviously the villain of the season. She is kind of the foil to the upper class Brits and the click that is Kimmy, Martha, Mark Francis, and Emma. And Emma is an aristocrat who has a gorgeous estate called Longleat. It's extremely extravagant.

45:40It is open to the public and also a safari. And it is just this, it is the most stunning home we have ever seen on Bravo, easily. Margot is the tacky American and she is the foil to the classy Brits. And they go too long late. Margo's wearing fucking nipple tassels. And she's wearing like a tank top that has like, she just has horrible taste, obviously. Like we've kind of concluded that at this point. And Mark Francis, like I said, he's like the sassy gay and he's the upper class Brit whose home looks like it is like Versailles. Just the way that it's decorated. It's like Rococo and gold everywhere.

46:22It's like very insane. And basically they're clashing because he is fake to her face and then talk shit about her outfits behind her back. And I can totally understand Margo's point of like, just say it's my face. His comeback to that is, well, darling, I think that everyone should be kind to each other's faces. Not every compliment has to be authentic. Basically saying that like, you know, be nice to people's faces. Yeah. It's the nice thing to do. You don't always have to mean it when you compliment someone. But I also get Margo's point where it's like, just say it to my face and stop being fake.

46:56Also, Margo is just so obnoxious. Like when they're at Longleat and there's a whole like, you know, etiquette sort of thing. Yeah. Especially when you're with, you're at an estate with aristocrats and you are with all of these upper class Brits. And she's being sober and she's eating before everyone else. She's asking for the silverware is. Just being like kind of like the bold and china shop. Bold and china shop. Tacky. Tacky American that makes Americans look bad. Thank God for Micah. Because I think Micah, she also is like an etiquette coach. So I think that she's doing a good job of making sure that Americans don't get a totally bad rep through the show.

47:33But she's just so obnoxious. And she is also making fun of Mark's personality and the way he talks and things about him as a person and not just his outfits. He's just making fun of her outfits. I will say, though, that Kimmy, and Kimmy is, you know, in the little clique with Mark Francis and Emma and Martha. Kimmy is also American, but she's lived in the UK for like 25 years. She seems, and I know that everyone loves her, there's something very dark about her. She goes, you're a fucking bitch. You're a fucking crybaby bitch. And, like, that's great TV and that's funny. And I think I find her very entertaining, great TV, very funny.

48:11She scares me. I'm very curious what you guys think of Kimmy. I just think that her energy is very, very, very dark. Freaks me out a little bit. It turns out, so she has talked about she is Haitian. She has a white Haitian father. Okay. Grew up in Miami, but then moved to the UK 25 years ago. So she's basically British. She has like an ambiguous, like a Dorit accent, but it's like genuine. I be. Yeah. PK. Me and PK. So it turns out that her father was involved in the brutal authoritarian regime called the Duvalier regime in Haiti, and that's why they fled to Miami when this regime was taken down.

48:51So the Duvalier regime in Haiti was a hereditary, totalitarian, why can I speak, dictatorship that lasted for nearly 29 years from 1957 until 1986. It was led by Francoise Duvalier and his son, Jean-Claude Duvalier. The regime is defined by extreme state terror, widespread human rights abuses, rampant corruption, and the use of a paramilitary force to suppress dissent. So Kimmy's father was involved in this regime. It's very easy to find evidence of this. I know that she is not her father, but she just really scares me. And I think there's some darkness surrounding her. And I'm shocked that people are so obsessed with her.

49:29I think because she's very cam. Like, I get it. Like, she has great TV. She is, like, really, really, really crazy. But she like terrifies me. I think she's someone that I'd like to watch on TV, but I would not want to be around in real life. Like, I feel like the rest of the ladies of London I could, you know, hang out with. I mean, I would definitely be the bull in a china shop at Longlead Estate. But for the most part, I feel like, you know, they seem like nice, normal, funny, kind of bitchy. But like, that's what you need on reality TV. Kimmy, on the other hand, is terrifying. So I'm curious what you guys think of Ladies of London.

50:03It is fucking amazing. I am loving the show. It's probably my favorite show on Bravo right now. Let me know what you guys think of the Margot versus Kimmy slash Marc Francis feud. I'm definitely team Marc Francis. I also am team Margot is amazing television. Kimmy is amazing television. I think that Kimmy scares me. So curious what you guys think. Well, that is some interesting lore about her father. How did you even come up? I'm telling you. Did you find it? No, it was all over Reddit. Oh. It was like very easy to find. Yeah. But yeah, I really need you to watch. No, I definitely will. It's something.

50:40Yeah, because I'm honestly like, there's not many shows. The Valley sucks. Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Oh my God. The Valley is so bad this season. No, I don't even want to watch it anymore. No, I'm like ready to call it quits also. And it's not because Jax is gone, even though I do think the show kind of centered around Jax. Of course. It's time for him to be off of television. They're just focusing on the wrong people and the wrong things. I don't want to focus on Danny and Luke trying to pressure their postpartum wives to have sex. I don't want Lala's fake storyline. Lala is ruining another show.

51:15This is why we said no Lala. Yeah. Like, we knew this would happen. Yeah. I think they need to focus on Jesse Lally because I think Jesse Lally is incredible television and is a good villain. Like, he's a good villain.

51:28West Wilson:he's great TV he's like really unaware it's so funny like he's not bright he's really not bright but he thinks he's like the smartest guy in the room he thinks he's a mastermind yeah it's giving like Jack's light you know yeah but like he's he's he's like less harmful than Jack's but I totally know what you mean like Jack's light yeah um okay should we move on to DEOs and LEOs yes okay my dark energy object is like when you have an appointment for like a beauty appointment that you make through Vegaro. Do you have you used that app, Vegaro? The booking? Oh, it's where like all my beauty appointments are.

52:02It's a lot of like vendors will use it. But basically you just, you know, you make the thing on your phone. They text you and email you. I'm not joking, six times up to your appointment. It's like, I get it. You don't need to continue reaching out to me three times via text. Hi, Christy, please remember your appointment is at 3.30 at this salon. Please text one to confirm. It's like, yeah, once I've confirmed it one time, you don't to other emails. It's like too excessive. That's not necessary. It's really not. It's like once it's on my calendar, I'll be there. One confirmation text is perfect.

52:35It's like text yes to confirm. I'm like, yeah. Thank you for the reminder. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you for confirming. We're all aligned. Anything more than that, I'm like, okay. Yeah. What's yours? Mine is, we've definitely said this in some capacity before, but people being fucking rude for no reason. And I have a very specific example from the other day, end of last week, I was walking into UPS to do a return and I was with Baxter and I was literally turning into a storefront into UPS. I was turning and some bitch rushed past me and literally goes, walk in a straight line. How hard is it?

53:12And I was like, I was wearing over ear headphones. So I responded. I was like, I am walking into a store. I'm turning into a storefront. I'm not just like walking in like a zigzag for no reason. I am literally turning into a store, but she was in some rush and in a bad mood. And I also was having a really hard day that day. Like I was having a horrible day and you just genuinely don't know what someone is going through. And like, look, like I'm, I'm okay. I survived. You know, I was able to laugh it off with the UPS workers. It was funny. We were, I was in the store and I was like, what the fuck was that?

53:45They saw it and they were like, what was that? And we were like laughing about it together. But like, you don't know what someone is going through. So just be kind to people. As Natalie Joy Vile's Instagram bio says, even though she doesn't follow it herself, be good to people for no reason. Hyphen Natalie Joy Vile. I know rich coming from her. But seriously, like just be nice to people. Like it was just it was just the cherry on top of a really shitty day that I was having. And you just you don't know what someone is going through. And I don't know. I just, I found that so, and like I lived in New York for so long and I'm used to, you know, people being kind of rude.

54:23Right. That's the MO. But yeah, but I'm also more used to, I feel like the longer I've lived here, noticing how kind people can be. Like people are very kind here. Like you just, you know, I don't know. To go out of your way to be rude to someone like she did, like going out of her way, it's one thing to not be the most friendly. You don't have to like smile and compliment me. Yeah. You don't have to acknowledge me, but don't be rude for no reason. I don't know. That just it really, really, really, you know, like I said, it was the cherry on top of a really bad day. And I encourage everyone listening to this to be good to people for no reason.

54:58Hyphen Natalie Joy Vile. Yeah, I'm sorry you went through that. That would, like, trigger me. If I was already having a bad day, that would just, like, set me over the edge. Right, right. If I was having, like, a good day, that would have ruined my good day. Yeah. But if I was having a bad day, that just made it worse. Yeah, no. So, fucking—and I was pissed that she didn't—because she was wearing the over-ear headphones when I, like, clapped back. I was mad that she clearly didn't hear me. Yeah. I was like, just proof. I'm walking into a store. Right. Anyway. What a miserable woman. I know. miserable woman this is some low base bullshit my light energy object is did you watch beef no but literally my best friend texts me she goes beef is so good i was like you would love it literally i was like sophie literally put that as her lao for tomorrow oh my god you would love it okay so the first season and the second season don't have anything to do with each other the premise of the show the first season is ali wong and yes the actor's name but he's so hot um let me look it up uh so first season was incredible new season is with oscar isaac uh carrie mulligan charles melt and kay kaylee i forgot her name she played priscilla oh yeah season one and so they are completely different cast steven steven young steven yoon i don't know if i'm pronouncing his name right but he was in season one and then beef season two totally different cast it's basically just about people feuding with each other um kaylee spainy is her name and she played priscilla and she was also in uh what's it called the new knives out movie wake up dead man oh yeah with daniel d lewis daniel d lewis in that knives out and madeline klein's in it i don't think daniel d lewis was in knives out let me look am i wrong wait daniel d lewis knives out was he in knives out i'm forgetting no he was not but but the new knives oh daniel craig that's sorry that's what i I meant.

56:53That's what I meant. That's what you meant. I was like, wait, I feel like you're onto something. Yeah. I was like, wait. Yeah. She was in the most recent one. And so two completely different. You can watch either of them in any order. Yeah. I am not done with this season yet, but it is so good. It's just highly recommend. I was watching it, binging it with my mom this weekend. And yeah. So yeah, that's funny that literally both of you guys recommended this to me in like 24 hours. I was like, OK, I highly recommend like you would really like it. Um, I, yeah, my friend was like, it's like White Lotus.

57:26You don't need to watch the first, watch the second. It's like Netflix's version of The White Lotus. Like a really, really, really good, highly acclaimed, critically acclaimed anthology series, I guess, where every season is a different cast, different storyline. Got it. But the through line, instead of The White Lotus where the through line is, oh, you're staying at a White Lotus hotel and death happens. The through line is that these are just people feuding with each other. That's why it's called Beef.

57:51West Wilson:Oh, Beef. Okay. That makes sense. My light energy object is the find my device on your iPhone. I've never utilized this, but because I'm like renovating my house, I don't know where anything is. Like things are in boxes. I randomly put my iPhone case in like my center like media console. I don't know why I did that. Couldn't find my iPhone. I clicked on the little find my device and it started beeping. Beep, beep, beep. And it said, you're two feet away, three feet away. Oh no, go a little to your left. Have you ever done this feature on the iPhone? Honestly, no. It's so cool. Like you You literally, it'll tell you, go a little two feet to your right, two feet to your left.

58:26Like it'll direct you to where it is. I've done the thing where it just like alerts. It's like, oh, beep, beep, beep. Like here's where your phone is. And if you get on your laptop, but I haven't done the thing where it's like you're getting warmer. Isn't that cool? It was like Marco Polo.

58:37West Wilson:I was like, this is kind of fun. This is kind of fun. Yeah. So that's my light energy object. Despite Apple, they do so many weird things. It's like, just keep it simple. But I feel like that was a very nice upgrade to the phone. So if you guys lose anything, please make sure to utilize the check your device, find your device on your iPhone. That kind of does it. But what are we doing tomorrow on the Patreon? So let me look at the calendar. I'm like, what are we doing? Soul. Oh, oh, oh. Bachelor. Oh, no, no, no. Bachelor scandals. That's right. That's right.
