Female Founder Friday: Friday, March 14th, 2025

27:50Because this is all about money. Yes, of course. They live like a very fancy life and they come out of the woodwork every couple of years to do a project. Harry obviously was just doing the books and then they took a break and now it's Meghan's turn. Like they each take turns paying the bills. And I think when you get to a certain level of celebrity and like you're so well connected, like there are kind of easy ways for you to make money. Not public facing, right? Like you get opportunities to invest in random things that are like 100%, you know, sure to go. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. And I don't know why they insist on doing so much public facing work to pay their bills, because I do believe when the whole thing was they wanted their privacy.

28:24Right. And I do believe like all the work that they do, even though Harry definitely is like, I need to tell my story. And we're like, OK, I feel like for the most part, a lot of the projects they take on are seriously just paychecks, which is very regular of them. We all got bills to pay. And I don't know why they insist on doing it in like a public facing way. Like I know that's definitely one way to do it. Yeah. But invest. There's a like when you're that rich, like you just get these opportunities like to make money. Your money makes money for you. Yeah. And Harry comes from money. Yeah. Yeah.

28:53Maybe. I don't know. But I guess they were getting like these big deals like$20 million from Spotify. Like is there an easier way to make$20 million? That's kind of. I don't know. Yeah. 20 mil from Netflix. It's also really interesting how he is completely. But does Lemonada have a big bucks? Yes. Yes. Yes. They're huge. They have the big bucks? Yeah. Oh, wait. we should like kind of shut the fuck up yeah that's why i said like you were being negative i'm like no lemonada is amazing lemonada is the place to be especially for women in podcast female founders that's for sure female founders of course like it would be i just say this because i'm jealous it would be a dream to be with lemonada it is also very interesting that harry is completely absent from all of her projects these days like he didn't show up on the show they say yeah i know i know i feel like it it signals like a and maybe this is just me projecting because i can't fucking stand Harry.

29:41Like I really, even with the show, Megan with love, like I didn't like it, but like she, like I enjoy her. She's pretty, I can't fucking stand this man. Like I, and maybe other people feel that and like his Q score has gone down. So they're just keeping him, you know, behind the curtain for a while because he's not going to be on the female founders podcast. He wasn't in with love, Megan, even though it was a show about like home, home and heart. So home and heart. So where in the world is Harry Mountbatten? Windsor. Sussex. Duke. I don't know and I don't think they're getting divorced because that is what the streets like are me neither I do not think they're getting a divorce I don't think they could ever get a divorce and I don't think they'll ever will get a divorce no matter how much they might hate each other yeah I agree I think what could like seriously could you imagine no I guess there would have to be like irrefutable evidence of like you know maybe like him at a strip club or you know like a picture I don't know no there's no way they work through it down for life all's that to say um i probably won't be listening to this no and who will be all's to say i don't know because it feels like she has no fans left like how is it us like we are her biggest fans yeah you have to call my pulse check on like megan stands like how are we feeling what does this make us feel it feels like everyone has left her but like everyone hasn't left her until stassi has left her like truly if she has zero fans yeah then stassi has walked out the door it's devastating so i need to know but i do feel like i didn't see stassi posting like oh my gosh with love with love yeah i know she's been actually relatively silent real quiet yeah well that's the latest in podcasting confessions of a female founder you guys finally the one we've all been waiting for.

31:24Also, like the trope Confessions of is such like a tired, especially for a podcast, but like just in general, culturally, it's just a very tired trope. Like Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Confessions of a Shopaholic, it's very like overused and tired. And then the female founders, it's just like really corny. Unless Ina Garten named her memoir Confessions of a Contessa. No, her name should have been Barefoot Confessions. Barefoot Confessa. Sure. That was the only way. But I agree. It's a tired trope. And I just don't feel like we're going to be getting a lot of confessions. It's just a hunch.

32:02These are my confessions. I am curious who the first, the guests will be, especially like the first guest. Let's make a prediction. That would be fun. Oprah. Oh. Like she, Megan did Oprah a huge solid. Like anyone could have, anyone would have wanted that interview. She could have gone to any publication. It was huge for Oprah, huge for Megan too. but at the time she could have gone anywhere. And I don't know if Oprah has paid her back yet. That's so true. That's a really good one. That would be newsworthy. That would be good too. And they could talk about the interview and the fallout. Like that would be interesting.

32:36Yeah, yeah. That would be worth it for sure. You want to put in your prediction? I would like to put in a prediction. Okay. We need to make an app. You know how like Jake Paul and like Barstool, they have like betting sports apps. Yes, we need betting. We need a betting app on like things that we care about. Like who will be Meghan Markle's first podcast guest? Yeah. Female founders USA. Sorry. Oh, because you know, that's what her team did. So true. Okay. 2024 is most intriguing women entrepreneurs. I literally, I feel like I'm rifling through there. Or what about like Gwyneth? Oh, that's a good one.

33:08Because Gwyneth has a very big wellness company, similar to what I think Meghan would want to build different skews, but similar. She also, I feel like they live near each other. They both like garden and shit. They're very green. Goop has a huge podcast, so that would be like a good alignment. Don't you think they're almost too similar? They either would get – like they either – I feel like if they're not publicly associated yet that there's – Didn't we think that about Push and Goop? And then there she was doing a collab. I feel like Gwyneth is so successful. Like nobody can really touch her.

33:35And there are a bunch of copycat brands, and that's what Push is, like from other celebrities. And I think Push is like really actually successful because it's so authentic to Kourtney. But it is like inspired by – everyone is inspired by Gwyneth. So when you're at the top, like you're not easily – shooketh. You know what? I'm going to go Emma Greed is my guess. It's a really good guess. Except she is British. Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. Is she a royalist or an anarchist? Oh, now it's getting political. So who knows? But yeah, she's super British. That's a good call. Okay. We shall see. To be determined.

34:12April 8th. Sound off in the comments. April 8th. Yeah, edit your list. And sound off in the comments. Who do you hope to or think we will see as one of Megan's eight guests on the new Lemonada show, Confessions of a Female Founder, coming to an iPod near you. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Actually, a female founder that she could have on, Wendy Williams, is on The View today. Yes. I guess Oprah didn't snag that interview. The View got it. Wendy Williams wants her guardian to get off her neck. the former daytime talk show host called into the view for pre-taped interview exclusively obtained by page six in which she got candid about her current conservatorship the interview kicked off with her explaining her hospital visit and her decision to get an independent psych test which she says she passed with flying colors earlier this week she said i needed a breath of fresh air i needed to see the doctor so that's why i went to the hospital she said hold on honestly i think the sheer fact that she sat for an interview speaks to her mental capacity and i know I keep comparing it to Britney and I'm sorry but that's really the only frame of reference that we have and even in the years that Britney's been freed she's never sat down for an interview because it really requires a lot of like mental fortitude and lucidity yeah that I mean I haven't seen the interview yet and it was just recorded but sounds like Wendy kind of did yeah but it's also pre-taped over the phone so not like entirely like live oh I didn't see that over the phone but still Britney didn't do a pre-taped over the phone interview no of course and the day after she left the facility like when you said that give wendy a week and she'll be sitting down with oprah right she said she and also to get blood work done for her thyroid condition and made it clear it was her choice to get an independent evaluation on her incapacitation which i don't have it how dare they say i have incapacitation i do not she said she must be so mad i can't even imagine and i imagine that comes through on the phone interview because i'm like hearing it even in just like your paraphrasing to literally have your actual freedom and like stripped from you like you're literally stuck like it's so crazy um and if it all is what she says it is and it's not like you know this is actually a person suffering from dementia who thinks that they're fine and it's you know it's a freedom mcfadden novel yeah i was gonna say it's like yeah if it is what she's saying it is who's going to prison like you can't just throw someone uh in jail and lock a throw away the key yeah that's very true there needs to be repercussions not to change the subject but speaking of novels yes did you see the opening scenes of verity being shot in the streets with dakota johnson and josh hartman so i did it's reminding me of like when the first pictures of it ends with us came out like it went so viral negatively but it was just like the photos were everywhere seeing this book that everyone in America has read come to life and now these pictures of Dakota Johnson filming um in the New York City streets now everybody and I don't want you to tell me because I did read the book and everybody's like oh I know what scene this is I know what's to that yeah you am I okay I have no idea I thought the book takes place at a house in like Connecticut so this is not a spoiler because it's the opening scene of the book I don't really think I want to know I really want to go in like eyes wide open but everybody like I saw all the influencers like who read they were like not this scene i'm like what the hell are you guys talking about yeah yeah yeah but to be you are like one of five people that i saw just so you know like i didn't even know dakota johnson was in this movie i already didn't remember it if i didn't know that or josh harden i didn't know they started filming so i just saw a video of them filming the scene of her and the blood and him and so is dakota the woman who comes low in and then Anne Hathaway is the lady upstairs Verity.

37:52Is Anne Hathaway Verity? Yeah. Okay, then yeah. I thought they would both be blonde. I thought Verity was blonde. She could be. I mean, I didn't see Anne Hathaway. No, but I think also the thing is, maybe subliminally, is that they look alike. Right, right. And he has the same taste. Yeah, yeah. I love Dakota Johnson. I guess because they did Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney for Housemaid, they needed the brunette version for Verity. I don't know if I knew consciously that Dakota Johnson was in this movie. That's what I'm saying. I didn't know consciously. So I saw a video of her in the street with the blood in the traffic and him whisking her away.

38:27And I knew exactly what movie they were shooting and what scene this is. And I posted it. I'm sad that I didn't have that same experience. I read the book so long ago. I have no idea. It is the opening scene of the book. Before she moves in. Think about why she moves in. Let's rewind. I thought she got a job. To do what? to write. Right. So, you know what? I really do want to be surprised. Okay. And for any of you who didn't read Verity, I know you also want to be surprised. Right. And I'm sure you'll see the movie. It's very good. Verity good. Yeah, it is good. So, I'm excited. And it must be nice for Colleen Hoover to have photos from her movie leaked and then be received positively.

39:10Viral positive. Because it's never happened to her. Yeah. You just must be like, what is this feeling? So sudden and new for colleen yeah hopefully she's entering a new phase of like positive book adaptation and um you know i only recently saw pearl harbor for the first time which is where josh hartnett got his start so like now i feel really invested yeah um jury's out on him for the role i agree like i i'm open he is beloved by the way by the way he was like just being in the scene from the videos like jury's out it's all i'll say i agree um it's important to know like we are unique in that take which is you know very on brand for us america loves him he is like beloved no no and i'm not saying like he's a jury is out okay do you find because this is like a new media like new age issue that like a movie gets made and we see stills from it right like we see the costumes we see the hair and makeup nothing it's still surprised what happens but like some of the visuals are spoiled do you find that to affect the movie watching process like a spoiler a little bit no I think it like hypes me up and a few examples of that where my favorite like books were turned and we got photos before was like Luckiest Girl Alive that was so hyper that was exciting and you know what else it was Brie Larson Chemicals oh Lessons in Chemistry yes Lessons yes I remember seeing that and being like oh fab that's exactly how I pictured it and I feel like I remember seeing stills from Confessions of a Shopaholic before it came out and that's my favorite book and was my favorite movie and it just got me really excited So this gets me excited.

40:46I mean, I think the It Ends With Us issue was the outlier. Like, usually it's good. That's the only negative experience that I've had where it's like, no, no, no, you guys, cut. Start from the beginning. Well, I think about like, and just like that season two where they brought back Aiden, it was completely spoiled. Yeah. But I guess that's what you get when you shoot on the street. And I feel like they could have avoided that. But also that's not book because book, like, we know the story. Right, right, right. Right. So I guess it's just like a teaser of like the book world come to life. It's a teaser of the world that they're building and that gets me excited.

41:18I agree. And excitement excites me. Why wouldn't it? Seems reasonable. A thousand percent. Are you ready for our next story? Some TV news. Is it three? It's three. Okay, yeah. Ted Lasso season four is a go with Jason Sudeikis and a women's team. Juno Temple is in negotiations to join the returning cast as the Apple series heads to Kansas. so this is like exciting and annoying because Ted Lasso just ended and it was very bittersweet and the whole season was like a big farewell and I love you to Ted Lasso and that was about two years ago and now Ted Lasso's coming back for another season and Juno Temple at Chattagoola to make sure that's Keeley that's Keeley yeah and we need Keeley we do I feel like this is kind of weird I didn't know that this was even up for debate like it definitely felt like the show ended early but that's of course like the sign of a good show they're able to like tell their story on their own terms go out on their own terms so i was sad because i liked the show and like when it ended i was like oh that's a show that i'll miss but i didn't feel like wronged or mad they didn't leave us on a cliffhanger no in the last season i found to be really bad i didn't finish it yeah i found it to be actually unwatchable and it came out during a time when i was desperate for tv it was like circlage era and i could not finish it well spoiler alert he goes back home to kansas and so i guess that's where this new show is picking up women's soccer team now right which is very on brand I also think Jason Sudeikis a lot of those people in Hollywood they've all started to like own parts of the women's soccer league across the US they're like trying to make it a thing a lot of like Eva Longoria Jennifer Garner are involved in the LA I want to say the Angels is the name of the team so like all the they're trying to create like a big league for women's soccer so this is obviously like propaganda not in a bad way like propaganda has a negative connotation but like in service of that Yeah.

43:02Because a lot of celebrities have like a big financial stake in women's soccer. For some reason, they've all like decided that this is going to be the thing they want to create, like the next NBA. Yeah. I don't think that that is a fruitless idea growing up. Me neither. I was a female soccer player. I love soccer. I love Mia Hamm. Like bring us back to the glory days. And in terms of, yes, well, soccer is not an inherently American thing. We happen to be quite good at it as women. No, and like women's U.S. soccer is better than men's soccer. It's like, I don't know, gymnastics. I don't know why it shakes out that way, but it does.

43:36It does. And so, and we have like a lot of like famous soccer. I don't know one American soccer player who's a man, but I can name like 11 Abby Wambach and Mia Hamm. Who like, you know. Who walked on stage with Taylor Swift. No, like David Beckham and Lionel Messi came to play. No, that doesn't count. Of American descent, like the women. I feel like they were just causing drama. Remember we were talking about Ashlyn Harris. Yeah. Yes. And like, so I actually follow a bunch of them. Yeah, we know them. Right. We know the gals. It's not a bad business venture. And I think like bringing in TV, because you know, like him and Olivia Wilde definitely like put money in years ago to like one of the LA teams or something.

44:14Totally. Not to pit like women's, like struggling women's league against struggling women's league. But what does this mean for the WNBA? Which league do you think has a better chance of success? The WNBA or women's soccer US? It's a really good point. I mean, women's soccer has a much harder task because not only do they have to get people to care about women's sports, they also have to get Americans to care about a sport that really doesn't exist. Like the MLS, Major League Soccer, is like nobody gives a fuck. Like remember when in the Beckham documentary he talks about his time playing on the American team?

44:43Like seriously, there was three people in the stand? No, and like they had full-time jobs. Like this was their like side hustle with playing soccer. And David Beckham's there like making$100 million. dollars like so if they have a harder job although I do think it's more palatable for Americans no no maybe not palatable maybe like it's been many years of the WNBA and yes people care now this year more they do Caitlyn Clark effect the Angel Reese like there's a lot going on but there is a you have to look as to why people haven't cared up until this point yeah no it's like they've had their shot multiple shots shot hasn't taken um I will be very curious to see I do feel like as Americans we miss out on the cultural like fun of soccer like soccer's fun but we have football and they don't yes so like I feel like we're actually all set and I don't know if as a country we could like take on another sport in such a way um but I also think that these things of like getting people to care about things and like building worlds and teams and history these take years it's not like women's soccer is just gonna be popular next year and be popular forever like you gotta maybe that's what the wnba has been doing and we're just we're too in it to see right we need to zoom out like talk to us in 50 years yeah so i think that like the even though the last couple of episodes of uh ted lasso weren't good there is magic there right like it's a good form we love the characters are good the writers are good this will probably be excellent yeah and the premise sounds good so it's a women's team he's going back to kansas I think Keely might come on and probably be his PR girl again.

46:15I don't want the whole cast. I don't want to name names. No, I really don't need the assistant coach. I don't want to name names, but I don't want everyone, okay? Who? I just feel like I can't say it. I don't like the assistant coach, the bald guy, or like the guy with the beard. What's his name? Like Eagle? It's like a bird. Yeah, yeah. Let me find it. And I just texted you. He was my least favorite. it you texting me who you don't wait why i love her i don't like her anymore like i just i don't know she's just wow i like her jackie can i put you on the spot and say who it is no no because now i feel like maybe i'm wrong for like not one you are i am you are she's like so like what's wrong with her i don't know she's not keely no no she's not keely but i also need them to bring back brett goldstein even though he's the writer roy roy he's the writer on the show so i'm sure he'll still be like involved in the project.

47:09Yeah. The assistant coach actually like doesn't bother me. No. So much except when he got his own episode and he like went on a trip. Oh my God. He was like walking through the tunnels on drugs. Yeah, that was like really bad. Horrible. Yeah. Anyways, are you ready for our next story? Some more TV news. Is it some more TV news that's brought to you by booking.com? Booking. Yeah. Is it?

49:04So when I saw the headline, I wondered, was Jason Isaacs wearing a fake penis when we saw his penis on White Lotus? Which we didn't even talk about how we saw his penis. And it turns out it wasn't his penis. It was a prosthetic. So I'm glad we didn't even talk about it because it wasn't his real penis. Every time I see a penis on TV, it doesn't happen a lot. So it's always big news. And then there's always, was it a prosthetic? Remember Sex Life when he had that big schlong in the shower? They were like, it's a prosthetic. Why? Women show their titties and they're not fake. No, I didn't even wonder if it was a prosthetic.

49:32I was like oh there's his penis and he wanted to show his penis on HBO today like let him well I don't know why they get the option to wear a prosthetic like it's it's that's actually that needs to be talked about on confessions of a female founder like that's about this if Jason Isaacs doesn't want to show his real penis can't we just take out that moment it literally didn't move the storyline or anything at all and it was actually kind of random it's actually not like all worthy that we're looking at a part like it was shocking that he showed us his penis and okay doesn't move the storyline but that's classic HBO but you're not even showing us his penis so what what does this prosthetic serve yeah no it's an amazing point they should have kept this secret in the vault because you're right it was so not germane to the storyline like and it actually is kind of not on brand for the dad who's like this very buttoned up tailored guy so it was this random thing and for it all to have been fake in service of what right like not necessary at all It was like, and I'm more focused on the fact that like when there's nudity on a woman, like we've never seen a fake like boob, right?

50:39They're not wearing breastplates. They're tits. Tushies, we see tushies. But boobs are like penis and vagina. Vagina to penis. That's the comfort. No, I'm sorry. It's not the same because men only - I know that you don't feel that way and I don't feel that way either. But like that's just what - If a man does nudity, it's penis. If a woman does nudity, there are multiple options, right? There's breasts, there's tushy, there's vagina. why like this I need the intimacy coordinators and like the women's rights movements I need them to get on this why do you get the option to do nudity and if you don't do nudity as a woman like you're penalized right like it's you lose roles and if you're a man like you just slap on a prosthetic if you're not comfortable showing penis I don't know the answer now that's actually the definition of inequality so you don't you want to cage the nipple again I didn't say that you don't want once again your interpretation of my words is merely a reflection of your thoughts I literally didn't even share my thoughts on this I hadn't spoken yet you want to cage the nipple I didn't say cage the nipple you guys are gonna I didn't say that she's flipping she's flipping okay by the way big talker what are your thoughts I don't see a need for any of it man woman nothing yeah yeah Keep your junk in your pants.

51:59Keep your shirt on. It's just a show. Keep your dong in your jeans. And you know what? If you want to have the balls to show us your dong, better be the real thing. It's so true. We want full frontal. Except Jason Isaacs is my king. And I'm so glad he did the prosthetics. That was so the right move for him. He's so smart and brilliant. No, yeah. Nothing but love and respect for our Thomas Ravenel. We're not speaking ill of him. We're just talking about the industry in a general sense. And let's talk about a prosthetic penis that really looked like a real penis. What is the journey of that thing?

52:32Like, does it lay on the prop table next to craft services? I bet they keep it in, like, a warm climate so that when you slip it on, it's, like, not freezing. Kind of how, like, the gel at the doctor for the ultrasound, they keep it in the warmer. Yeah. Maybe they keep it in, like, a prosthetic warmer. No, see, like, all of that. That's, like, budget. Not necessary. And then the intimacy coordinator's job is to like physically, I think, put it on. And she's like walking around with this little case of penis. And she's like coming through, coming through. Yeah. And she definitely walks around also with like a fanny pack full of like different cosmetics needed.

53:07Like some powder if the penis is shiny. Maybe scissors to like trim the pubes. And I don't want to put anyone out of a job ever. Right. But that's not needed. Agreed. Is what I'm saying. That part of the job. Agreed. But intimacy coordinator, of course, I'm not a monster. No, she wouldn't dream. I take Zagafstra more seriously than anyone. I have, like, we've spoken more about intimacy coordinators in the last year than, like, any two people should. We need to interview an intimacy coordinator. I don't follow. Who is also a female founder. Well, I guess all female intimacy coordinators are female founders in a sense.

53:47Well, not if they're, like, contractors for a larger intimacy coordination company. Oh, that's true. but maybe like they founded the company of intimacy. We need to talk to the founder. Yeah. Only if she's a female. She is only a female. Correct. If you're like a man and your job is an intimacy coordinator, like, okay, creep, creep. These are women's issues. Agreed. Right. It's women who suffer on sets. It's so true. And you want to be like, I'm sorry. If I were a naked actress and my intimacy coordinator were a man, I'd say, please leave. One thousand percent. There are some jobs that are only for women.

54:22Masseuse. Pilot. For women. Doctor. President. Yeah. Okay. Okay. She's going to Lemonada. And, of course, the founder of Lemonada.

54:47Tardy, crack me up. Thanks. Are you ready for our fifth and final story, which is more TV news? Is it about the brilliant advice Chet Hanks received from his father, Tom? Yes, but it's also about how you've been duped a little bit by this story. I'm sorry. By the way, I only read the headline before I sent it to you. So let me read you the story. I want to show you the insidious way that they report. Hollywood is so sinister. Headline. Chet Hanks reveals the acting advice dad Tom gave him to prepare for Running Point. Okay, click. yeah chet hanks easy click chet hanks turned to his award-winning father tom hanks for acting tips ahead of his breakout role in netflix's new hit show running point quote i've always asked him for advice when it comes to acting and he's always given me really great advice the rising star told page six exclusively at the 2024 mtv video music awards last september but they wrote the article yesterday but they wrote the article yesterday about about an interview that they did last September that they're recycling.

55:49Oh, this is so insidious. Sinister. Chet shared that Tom told him three key things he has to do to be successful in Hollywood. So it's not even advice on running point. It's just advice in the business. I'm completely uninterested in the rest of the story. I thought it was like actual advice about this project. And I was interested in it because I have felt like for years that there has to be like some bad blood between Tom and Chet. Like when you think of Tom's kids. I thought Chet was on the outs. Right. Like when you think about how his family might have like really been upset with him about a lot of his like public facing behavior over the years compared to his brother.

56:23Who's the other one? Colin Hanks. And he's so buttoned up. Oh, my God. He's so buttoned up. He gets all the good roles. Like he's really well behaved. Right. He's very well behaved. So I feel like Chet has been the bad egg. And I could see like Rita and Tom being like annoyed with him. So the fact that Tom was giving him advice on Running Point, I was like, you know what? Headlight years that they speak. Yeah. But this is a year ago. Who knows? This is from September. And also here's the advice, which by the way is just general acting advice and not specific to running point. He just said, quote, if you know, if you just know your lines and you show up on time and you're nice to everybody, that gets you a long way.

56:57Okay, privilege, like bare minimum, do less. So that's like not advice. That's the obvious. Can I tell you though that his character. That's the job. Do the job and show up. Right. Thanks, Captain Obvious. Maybe they don't speak. Right. Well, the second half of the series, actually, he takes on a little bit of like a darker up until this point. He's like a funny haha. But something happens where he's like struggling and he has and he's actually like a very dynamic actor. He really crushed it. Like that's one of my biggest takeaways from the show is get Chet Hanks more roles. Yeah, I'm so in agreement.

57:34And the show already is getting a second season. Unclear if he's in it. But if you just finish it, would that like poison to be in it? it could go either way. Oh, he's either like on the team or not on the team? No, he's like struggling with something personally. So like maybe he just like quits or he comes back, you know? Yeah. Understood. So that's the stories that you needed to know. I would say four out of five you needed to know, not last year's news from the MTV VMAs. But I do think the lesson in media literacy was important. Hugely important. And I'm glad that you didn't swap out the story once you realized it was a fake.

58:11no I think it's so important I love that we've started calling out like these journalists inconsistencies no and also like the former singer slash turn yeah hey well also when I was looking for stories um on page six it was like here are all the couples expecting in 2025 and like it was really z-list like they had no but you're such a page six darling I know what the hell like they went out of their way because they had really like bottom of the barrel peeps people I didn't even here I haven't even heard of. That's really. I feel like they wrote the whole thing like just to hurt you. Yes. Yes.

58:44So that's the last time I look for stories because I'm trying to help and I catch a stray. Yeah. Oh, I feel like I have the opposite experience where I'm looking for stories. I'm like, hey, there's my sister. Oh, there's my brother-in-law. That's nice. That's nice. Oh, there's my friends. Shall we dive into Queenie and Weenie, our final segment of the week? Yeah, we should. So Queenie and Weenie, you guys, a tale as old as time every Friday. Jackie and I like to wrap up the week in a little bow with a segment we call Queenie of the Week It's Jackie and I sharing someone who we thought to be Queenie this week and somebody who acted like a weenie.

59:13And again, it's not that serious. It's a seven-day title. You can be Queenie one week, Queenie the next. It's never happened, but it is possible. Would you like to go first? And should we do Queenie or Weenie? Let me pull it up. I forgot who I chose. We go Queenie first. And I'm sure there's like a more obvious Queenie of the week. But for some reason, my mind keeps going to maybe Funke, who has brought me so much joy this week and laughter. And I'm just really here for the renaissance of maybe Fionke. I'm so down. If that's okay with you. I know it's a little rogue. It's totally fine. I'm just not realizing I chose two weenies instead of a queenie and a weenie.

59:52That's so cojures. So share your truth. Share your cojurner's truth. Okay, because I do have two weenies. Okay, share your first one. The first weenie is the San Francisco 49ers. I think it was really not a smart move to drop my boyfriend Kyle Yuscheck. I don't like that. Okay, and then I'll go my first weenie. And then also, I said that because it was a jumping off point. I actually meant to talk to you about this offline. Are you familiar with any of the WAG drama going on in the 49ers? No, I saw we were being accused of burying it. It has not reached my desk. It's actually ongoing. I had heard about it like a year ago.

1:00:25And the weird part is, you know who Fred Warner is? He's like a big player on the 49ers. I do know that he is engaged or married to a woman who is an influencer, and she was low-key on The Bachelor. And she does it. Yes. And she's like, you know, a girly and she's not with the other girlies. Okay. So Fred Warner's, I think wife, they have a baby together. Cindy Warner. She was on The Bachelor and then just like happened to have like a successful career as an influencer, married, and he's really good. So like she's really popular. And there's like a noticeable like schism up until this point between her and the other wives.

1:00:55When you think of all the girlies. They're always together. And even when Olivia joined the team, like immediately she was in with the gals. Like they're obviously a welcoming bunch and they love an influencer. her. And like over the years, she has like posted things that like led people to believe she really dislikes Kristen Juszczyk. And on Monday, when it was announced that Kyle was released, like everybody on the 49ers, all the other players, all the other wags are posting like crying, Kyle, we love you. Pictures of Kyle from the last 10 years. Sydney starts posting, what an amazing, beautiful day.

1:01:24Isn't this the most amazing Monday you've ever seen in your whole fucking life? I love Monday. Like really? Like very obviously being like, oh, Kyle was dropped Kristen's leaving the team I love it yeah and there's a lot of speculation about what the beef is nobody knows people are just like guessing online um but a lot of people thought that was really kind of you know telling tasteless um to celebrate the man losing his job and that's why I chose the 49ers as my weenie because I just wanted to tell you that got it um that's crazy I wonder what happened between the two of them and also it's like okay so things worked out for her because she doesn't want to be out on kristin news check like take the win and shut up be right be the big be humble gracious like just be happy privately and like things are looking up for you for whatever reason like now you've just made yourself look like an arse the villain yeah i can't imagine what the beef is like kristin gets along with everyone so the streets and the internet which they have no proof they say it's like a uh disagreement on politics who's what well they said that Sydney is more liberal and then like some of the other wags, Kristen included, are more conservative.

1:02:29They have no proof of that. That's just like what... Oh, but they love to say that like about everything. It's giving Florida Georgia line. It's everyone's go-to. You know, it's giving Becca and Garrett. Yes. But with Becca and Garrett, that was the case. With Florida Georgia line, it was the case. Correct. It's giving sister-sister. No, I don't think so because even if the wags are like conservative leaning, they don't post anything. like if they were so extreme, like they would post even a little bit more. I don't think it's like their whole personalities. No, but we really, we have no, we have nothing to go on here.

1:03:03So I think that's like a lot of people's natural inclination is just to be like politics. Yeah, that's their favorite. That is always a good one. Like Sarah and Ben. Correct. Which leads me to my second weenie of the week. Thank you so much. Just this entire season of Love is Blind. And I guess in a small way, I need to make myself the weenie of the week because I know a lot of our listeners only started picking up this season because it probably sounded really funny and interesting based on my funny and interesting recaps. Like how many, how much did we laugh over the last month? Like if I was listening to a show, I'd say, oh, I would watch Love is Blind.

1:03:32And the whole thing was full of losers. And I felt like a loser just watching it with the reunion that we recapped on Monday. Yeah, everything was truly the definition of weenie-licious. Loser sneeze. So I would say Love is Blind season, whatever, Minnesota season. and the San Francisco 49ers are my weenies of the week. I'm sorry. No Queenie this week. Not my fault. Everybody was acting like a weenie. What does that say about the state of the world? Correct. Who's your weenie? My weenie of the week is James Kennedy, obviously. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Requires no explanation. Agreed. He behaved in a weedy-like fashion in all facets of his week.

1:04:10Oh, my God. Wait, we didn't even talk about Kelly Clarkson's new song with Rascal Flats came out today. I'm moving on. I'm sorry. I've been inside of a truck. Yeah. Okay. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'm sorry. The Rascal Flatts album that we spoke about at the beginning of the week. It hasn't come out yet. I think they're releasing song by song. And this morning they released Kelly's. They're the cover of my release radar. It's right here. I didn't even get to see my release radar. We were listening to Paw Patrol in the car. The I'm moving on cover of Rascal Flatts with Kelly Clarkson. I would love to hear your thoughts.

1:04:38Let me say my thoughts really quickly. Can I just take off my helmet? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take your helmet off. Take your helmet off. I just want to say it's so good. I love the song. I'm moving on, but I really, um, I could have used more of a duet. It's basically a Kelly Clarkson cover, which I'm of course never complaining about, but the fun was that like they would be collaborating and it's pretty much Kelly the whole time. And then like Gary at the end, there's never really any point in the song where they're singing together. I feel like they weren't even in the same room and they didn't like harmonize with one another.

1:05:07I was looking for more like pargy harmonies and the blending of vocals. And I didn't really get that. I just got like a beautiful Kelly Clarkson cover. It's still good. Obviously it's like the best song I've heard this year but that's it all right Jackie look alive we're good put your help put your helmet back on that's so funny we're athletes what can I say this is a full context correct that is our show that's our show I have to go listen to I'm moving on so I'm moving on from this show thank you so much was it a narafi and a safi or nalafi an hour seven like very normal for us but it's a very narafi these days to do an hour seven there's like literally someone at my door.

Jackie's coming to town in a few weeks so I'm getting our second studio setup set up where we can record together in person in a par G. There won't be frames so everyone can just like unclench.
