When people talk about energy, recovery, and performance, they usually jump straight to training, protein, or supplements. But one of the most overlooked pieces is gut health. If your gut is not dialed, everything else struggles to work the way it should. That is where momentous fiber plus comes in. When gut health is not dialed in, other supplements and training habits don't work as well. You can be doing everything else right, but without a strong foundation, results fall short. Fiber is often the missing link. That's why momentous believes in a relentless commitment to fundamentals and doing them differently than they have ever been done.

Fiber plus is built to support the entire gut health process, not just one piece of it. And if a product doesn't meet their standard, it never hits the shelves. Right now, momentous is offering our listeners up to 35% off your first order with promo code acast. Head to livemomentus.com and use promo code acast for up to 35% off your first order.

Hey, Kass powers the world's best podcast. Here's a show that we recommend. Michael Garjulo stalked and slaughtered his female neighbors in LA in the 2000s until one survived. She painted a picture that you could never imagine. In a first on Mind of a Monster, we dive into a case that's still active. Did Michael's murderous rampage start in the 1990s when he was just 17? His impulsivity and his rage was starting to peak around that age. Listen to Mind of a Monster, the Hollywood Ripper, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, Kass helps creators launch, grow, and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Hey, Kass.com.

Hello, hello, I don't even know how to start this. It's our, it's our mini episode. Hi, guys. Hi, hi, happy Friday. It's, it's real time Friday. This always makes me nervous because we like record it and then I literally turn around and upload it. So I'm like, this is actually Friday. It's Friday morning. It's like, you know, or not early, but early, early for us to be recording. And then you guys will be really early for me. I'm usually like, still laying a bed. You're a lady of leisure. My grapes. They are freaking humongous. Well, you answered the phone with a giant grape in your mouth. No, I was like, I didn't answer the phone. I came, you came on here. Well, that's what I'm trying to phone to us. Those are big. They're huge. Are those, those cotton candy ones? No. Oh, they're just a regular grape. Yep. They're huge. Oh, they're big. They're huge.

They're biggies. Kelly has big, big balls in her mouth. Oh, God. Yeah. She's like, that rumor getting out there. Wait, there was, I just was scrolling through my camera roll the other day. And I saw the screenshot of when there was the rumor that you were going to be the Pope. I missed that. Yeah, you were the Pope. You were up for a nomination when they went into the last Pope like, conclave. That's hysterical. Yeah, could you imagine? No. Actually, I would nominate you for president. Well, we're going to talk about the president's in a minute. But before we do that, we have to say so we like doing the minis and it was super fun to do the traders and stuff. And we were just doing love story because we needed a fill-in before something else reality came out. Is it something I like? God forbid. No, I'm doing what crispy likes. No, I was doing reality. Kelly, I can't help it that you don't like reality. I mean, we don't always have to do reality.

I love love story. I'm kidding. I ended up liking traders towards the end. Yeah, it was good. It was a good season. But anyway, so we were going to do the Bachelorette, but that got changed. Yeah, but I thought I was like, oh no, I need to text Christy. Yeah, because it wasn't canceled yet. It was commercial. You know, I'm like, I don't know if we should do it. And then three, four days later, they ended up canceling it. Well, I think what you texted me at first was there was, they halted production of secret lives because there was new allegations of Taylor with like a DV um, charge, I guess it was recent. And what I ended up reading yesterday after all this news broke was that I guess the cast called MBC, or I'm sorry, ABC. It was like, there's stuff coming out. We're uncomfortable. We don't know how to handle it. And they basically said, she's our friend.

And but we also don't want to be talking about this. And we don't know how to handle it. We don't want to, we don't want to film. Because she is our friend, which yeah, I think is really interesting because it might be one of the only shows that people actually were really friends before it started. It wasn't just what other than us. Yeah, that's what I mean. Okay. Yeah, because yeah, I think some of the, I mean, obviously some of the housewives know each other, but I don't think it's as close as maybe these girls are. Yeah, and I get that. So, um, you know, it was kind of um, crazy to read. And then there's all these other little stories. And then obviously the big one that came out was the video. I couldn't believe that video. No, I couldn't believe that video either. And what, to me, the worst part of the video is the little girl crying. Oh my gosh. I mean, she was sitting right there. But Kelly, she didn't make a peep until she got hit.

So what does that tell you? I mean, she's used to that. She's used to it. Yeah, I was really sad. And she's sobbing and she's crying for her mom and her mom never stops. Did it say she was drinking or doing drugs or I didn't. It doesn't say that, but that video was what, um, shit. That's what came out or that that was the fight that season one episode one. And we recapped secret lives for our other podcasts that we did with Jill and Melissa. That was what they talked about in season one when she's standing on the porch. And she's like, I peed myself. Remember that she got arrested and they were talking about that was like how the show got picked up. Like nobody had seen the video yet, but she got arrested. So the show opens with her talking about like the soft swing or thing, which P.S. by the way, I don't even know if what they did. I would qualify as soft swing or it felt like to me they were a bunch of high school kids

like making out at a party that just kind of like I think that it that got blown out of proportion, which good good for them because they got a show out of it. Yeah. But then that the whole fight thing was what the show opened with and she was on the porch with the cops. Mm-hmm. Um, what was I just going to say I forgot. Like she was even kicking him. Yeah. In the video. Like I mean she like wasn't letting go. And was it his phone that was recording? I think so. I think he was holding it. Yeah, the babe. I mean, I guess the videos was there. Right. That home. Yeah, it was crazy. And choking him. It was my type was crazy. Holy shit. Yeah, no, you didn't throw three stools with a baby in the room. Yeah, or pro punches or kick. Kick. Yeah. No, you just did like a little, you did a little swatty tap. You did like a fly swatter. Get your finger out of my face. Um, now I will say this because I,

there's so much controversy with everybody being like, well, what did he do? Do I think he's innocent? Of course not. No, it always takes two. It takes two. But I also don't think that you can blame him for how she behaved. Yes. I mean, you can get in an argument. You don't have to react that way. Yes, that's kind of how I feel. I don't know. It's very scandalous, very crazy, and leave. Go to your parents house or something or friends house or something. Yep. Well, and then, then they canceled the Bachelor at, or actually they didn't cancel it. What they said is we're not doing it right now, which I thought was very interesting language. Um, they left it open. Yeah, they left it open. But in people are like, ABC is doing a deep dive. Who's to blame? Who didn't know? I don't know if people would know this, but when you are on a reality show, there are companies that networks higher to do a background check

on anybody going on that show. We had to do them. I think they did them for us, yeah. They absolutely did, because I mean, I remember Brian joking around with us that he knew all of our credit scores. Like, that's how deep they go. Wow. Yeah. So there's a no way that, with a franchise like the Bachelor at, that there wasn't vetting that was done. Yeah. So, and that was kind of my point with Colton on the Traders. They knew, like, they knew what Taylor was getting. But it's also the culture of reality. They want the messy. Exactly. They want crazy, yes. They want crazy, right? But then when it goes to the point where the public is like, oh, this is too far, they're like, we didn't know. Yeah, but you can push, I mean, and she wasn't on a show. So, like, in our situation, we were kind of, what's the word I'm looking for? Like, antagonized, provoked, or, yeah. To get that way.

Like, she was at home. Mm-hmm. You know, like, I mean, I can see on the show just because lots of times we were provoked to fight. This wasn't that. This wasn't that. And I think what everybody is kind of flipping out about is obviously you can have, and I'm not saying that the fight with him is justified in any way, shape, or form, or okay. You can have a fight with another adult. And I don't think that you should play your hands on them. And that's rich coming from me, considering like, I had fights on TV and all the things. But I think that when you get a child involved, that's where the line is drawn. Oh, how about my fight? Get everybody out of the room, out of the room. Girls out the room. Never tried to fight around the kids. No. No, no, no. I mean, even as a parent, you never tried to fight around the kids. Now, did your kids sit outside your door and listen, of course they did. But you at least made the effort to not,

I mean, I think in general parents mostly do that. Even your fight with Leslie, like no kids were around. I feel like no, or fights. Well, the one where you said, how many times did my kid beat your kid? And that was bad. And the kids were there. And that is probably my most horrible moment on Dance Bomb said, I regret the most. Yeah, I think that's the only fight though that the kids were actually. I mean, mine, they were in the room, but then they got out, you know? I don't know. Yeah, well, to answer the question, are we doing the Bachelor at the Answers? No, because there was no Bachelor at to do. So we'll figure it out and be back next week. What else can we do? Maybe maybe people can give us suggestions. Yeah, what do you guys want to see us do next? We'll start next week. I do have to say though something. Okay, this is not funny because it is harassment. However, did you see the other thing that she did that the news was breaking before the scandalous video came out?

Did you see the other thing that like, I think, I think reality Steve or whoever, who always says like the deep dive on Bachelorette's revealed it? Who that is? He's just some guy who like dispoilers on the Bachelor. I haven't heard that name in years, but for some reason it came up on my feet, probably because like Mormon stuff was coming up. And there is this whole thing where I guess, at some point, Taylor called Dakota between the hours of like, I don't know, midnight and 3am. I think 150 times in a row, like a missed calls. Oh my god. I'm gonna be sure though. Oh, yeah. Sometimes like maybe 10. Yes, you're getting right now, like I don't. Answer the phone and then you're texting and you're like, answer you. Yeah. You know? 130, that's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, that's dedication. I would be done after like 40. I'd be like, okay, we're good. Yeah, I think the most I've ever done is probably like, maybe 10 or 15.

Well, I think everyone has done that. Or the other thing too. And I just wonder, because obviously to me, that says like drunk behavior. I mean, you know what I mean? That would be the only time I would do it. Of course. I was sober. I would be like, Cali, like, yeah, don't do that. Don't lower yourself to that. Like, you let me person like how many times have you opened your phone after being out drinking and you're like, oh god, I don't want to check Instagram. I don't want to check tech talk. I don't want to check my texts. I don't want to check my call log. Usually don't have to worry about me posting on social media because I never do, but my texts, yeah. And like we always say, if people saw our texts, we would be in big trouble. Oh, yeah. Yes. But I need to know, okay. So I always, when I used to do the story talks, I would say that the girls all the time. I'm like, okay, tequila and social media, like tequila plus social media equal disaster. Do not. So we have a speak pipe.

I'm gonna link it. I want you guys to call in for next week. Tell us the craziest thing that you have done, that you found out the next morning that you're like, oh god, now I'm in crisis management. Yeah. You're on. Huh. I think people are gonna have a long list. Oh, yeah. Well, me, I lost my shoes at your daughter's wedding or they got stolen. I mean, that's the minimum. But I mean, there's been wild things that I've like looked up and I'm like, oh god, what did I do? So easy though, like you don't, I don't like remember them half the time. Like that's an issue. I think that's an issue. Yeah. Yeah, I would say. That's an issue. But again, we have all done it. We've all done it. Well, the other crazy thing that I did, this is not calling somebody over and over, but it is phone related, is I block people. Like I'm like, I block people left and right. I've never blocked somebody. Other than this asshole that keeps calling me,

telling me my loan is approved. Oh my god, just gonna say was it a loan? Kelly, I'm approved probably 800 times a day for a $36,000 loan. Me too. And I block them every time. Then they call back from a different number. And actually, I think I've ever blocked. I've never blocked a human being. Like I didn't even block Abby. Oh, I blocked Jill and Melissa when they were still in the show and they kept trying to call me on camera. All right, I have never did that. But they, them blown people, man, I hate them. I hate them too. I do. Okay, so we're gonna link our speak pipe. We want to hear the craziest thing that you woke up to that you're like, oh, somebody needs to take my phone away. I'm dying here because I know these stories are good. They'll be funny. Uh-huh. We could probably do a whole episode just on that. Not. Yeah, because I'm sure our bonus episode. Yes, to send us your good one. I speak while we figure out what kind of show we're gonna do now. Exactly. Exactly. What? I do want to say, so next week we're back on the road.

We're in DC, New York, and Boston. Uh, as of today, we just released the last few general mission tickets in DC. So if you want a general mission in DC and you didn't get your tickets, there is a handful that are being released right now. So if you jump on, we'll link that too. You might be able to grab them. Like, there's less than 10. So we're sold out in New York, and Boston. Oh my god, we could probably do three shows in New York, and Boston. Everybody wants tickets there. I know. We'll go back. We will go back. We will go back. Okay, before we talk about love story, remember how we did urban dictionary last week? What was it? The clam jam? Yes. The clam jam. Okay, so Matt sent us a new word. Are you ready? Oh god. Okay, it's a frosty gym. Hey, this was Paige the Sorbo from Giggly Squad. And today I want to talk to you about Boost Mobile. Quick question.

I don't like you get them ahead of time. Do you? I don't know the answer though. He just sends me the word. You need to think about it. He literally just texted me. We're cold. Frosty Jim. See, to me, that seems like a collab between two fast food restaurants. I know it's not. You don't know. I was trying to think of like, like you know how there's like Roy Rogers. But Jim could be like a workout place or Jim could be somebody's name. It's J.I.

It's spelled like a boy. So frosty Jim. Maybe he's cold in his weenies. That's what I was sinking. Like he has a teeny tiny cold weenie. Is that what it's called with shrinkage? Is that the official name when you have weenie? That's what I'm going. Okay. We think it's okay. That's what it's called when you get out of the pool and you're cold in your shrink. Okay. Let's ask. Frosty down there. Yep. Yep. Okay. That's what I thought. Okay. Definition please. Like so perverted. It's probably like a cone or something. It's a what? Like an ice cream or something? I doubt it's an ice cream. And if it is, it's probably like a gross version of an ice cream. Okay. I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to write take notes of these because I want to ask my kids if they know what these are. And that's what I'm going to do. Maybe on Easter. Oh my god. What an Easter game. I know. I'm going to be like, what do you guys know what these mean? A clam jam.

I already wrote down clam jam. Frosty. Frosty. Frosty. Jim. Okay. I don't know what the answer is. So let's let's talk about love. Get me asked him. I did. Oh, he's coming now. Okay. Because sometimes he's not on his phone. A frosty Jim. Dr. intern Matt. Huh. What does it mean? Worst than what we said. Oh, Kelly. Okay. Okay. If you have children in the car, turn this off immediately or fast forward 10 seconds. Are you ready? So I'm not too bad of ones. Okay. So it's when you pee in a condom. Ew. You freeze the condom. And then you use that on your partner and. That is absolutely too small. And when it melts, they're pees. Ew. What? Why wouldn't you just put water in it?

Yeah. Well, because some people have a pee fetish cow. Oh, my God. I want to throw up. This is why you don't take our version better. I do too. But this is why Kelly's not on a dating app. Ew. Would you do that? No. Well, then why aren't you on a dating app? I'm just saying, like, I don't know, because it was funnier to say you. And you're in a serious relationship. Yeah. With my show. No, with what's your name? Nipples. Oh, I don't know how to pronounce your name. Top of Rowan. What? What? Top of Rowan. Lim. Yeah. Well, in the after party, we'll have to talk about the Oscars at some point. But anyway, let's talk about love story. So we have two to talk about, right? Yeah. Because last week we didn't. I was kind of disappointed in these two. I thought they were kind of boring. I did too. I loved the first six. Yeah.

So we watched seven and eight. So this is basically when they get back after the wedding. It's the wedding is the vinyl. Yeah. But I could relit on last night's episode. I guess it was both combined together, but I could really understand how she felt. You know, because do you ever feel that way? What specifically? Like they don't make room for you? No. Just like, like how everybody picks apart everything she does. Oh. Oh. I always feel that way. Yeah. Like since I've been on the show, I have been. I've always been kind of a reserved person. Mm-hmm. But like when I'm out, I really, like I don't dance. Because I could want to get up there so bad and I wanted to dance.

But I won't because I'm like somebody's going to videotape me. And so I don't. And I used to always say when I first moved down here, I had a girlfriend who owns a bar. Her husband owns the bar. But we used to go there. When they closed the doors, her and I would stay. And it was so nice because it was just her and I. I could like let loose. We would dance. We would be singing karaoke. Like because I always feel like I can't do that when I'm out. Do you? Yeah. Yes. For sure. For sure. But I think I probably. You are more guarded than I am naturally. So I do think about it. I'm very weird about. Yeah. There are certain things I'm very weird about. Especially like if I'm out in New Orleans, you know, like I won't go to certain places at certain times.

Yes. I am that way. But I do get that. But I also think that she had working against her as everybody was obsessed with him. And so. So. I mean, I believe me. I'm not saying. Our stuff is at the level of her. But I just felt like I could understand how she was feeling. Yeah. But what I was going to say was it was almost like they if he was he was always going to be the hero of a story. Right. And even if she was private, it wasn't going to be like, oh, we need to respect her every story needs a villain. So they somehow turned her into a villain, even though he loved her. And she wasn't a villain. She was just different. Oh, I didn't think she was. I have to say though during that fight last night when they were cleaning the table or she was cleaning the table. Kelly, I was cracking up because I was like, oh my God. Even JFK junior annoys his wife to the point where she's going to smother him with a pillow if he she hears everything. I can't believe he left.

I know. I mean, she was like leading with him. Please don't leave. And she was the guarded one in that relationship. Yeah. Yeah. Like I was surprised that she because she was the one that was initially upset. So when he was leaving, I was surprised that she would have begged him. Yes. I never expected him to actually do it. And he did. I mean, they had to keep it true to life. Yeah. Uh, yeah. But I feel bad for her. Kind of. Yeah. Like just like how about how it starts her smoking? Oh my God. In all the different places. I know. They're like, what is it puff? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The song was puffed. Yeah. This is such a stupid song. But it was so funny. I know. And she's laying on her counter. I'm like, I need to do that someday.

Yeah. How about her laying under the glass coffee table? I know. I was dead. Oh my God. That reminds me of the conversation we had. Oh God. I can't even say we had a dinner. What? What? About C.B. My friend. Uh-huh. And then we got in. Yes. Yeah. I thought of that as soon as I saw that. Yeah. I was. Gross. Thanks, Dianny Thomas Style. If you know how to do it? Anyway, but she's very lonely and he still has to be like Mister social butterfly. What long do you think it is that she's been like keeping herself in the house? Well, I would say I think it started like a couple of months, maybe weeks after they got married until they died until they died. It was at least a year, because it's said a year. That's horrible. You know, now how do you feel about this? I mean, I know they both loved each other so much, but

she hated her life. And I mean, I know you don't want to get divorced and stuff, but that not leave your house for a year. I mean, I know, and here's the thing though, at that point, even if she would have divorced him, and it would have been even probably worse, because people would have been like, oh, she left. Yeah, just her dating him kind of just her whole life. Yeah, yeah, I was thinking that. And then obviously, I think the most compelling thing to watch and it was such foreshadowing was when they realized that Diana died. First of all, where were you when you found out about Princess Diana? We all can't go ahead. Where were you? Where I was. I was in my bed. I lived in Kellywood. And Randy was at a bachelor party for his cousin, Diana's wedding. And I was sitting at home watching TV and I sat there and just bawled my eyes out for hours. Like two months or three in the morning, I was still up just like watching the news.

And like, I can remember it as clear as that. And you know me. I don't remember shit. I just watched dance moms in there two minutes ago. Yeah. It's time we film it later on this afternoon. I'm going to forget it all. I can't read. I remember that. Like, oh, my god, like so clearly. Yeah, I don't know where I was when I heard Elvis Presley died. Like where things like that I can't remember. I think people, um, I think that that's kind of like a pop culture thing. Like everybody talks about they know exactly when, um, JFK Jr. What or JFK died. And then Princess Diana. And I mean, I remember where I was when I found out JFK Jr. Like that the plane went missing. We didn't know for days. Do you remember where we were when Michael Jackson died? Yeah, we were at the dance recital. We're at the dance recital and we actually did a tribute song to him. Yeah. That year. Yeah, it wasn't that crazy. That is crazy. Do you remember where we were when we found out Whitney Houston died?

L.A. Yeah, we were in the white passenger minivan. Yeah. And, um, remember, I told you not to take a bath. Yeah, because I like a bastard. First of all, he said she's like, you can't take a bath anymore. I'm like, if you get fucked, you don't take a bath because I don't want to find you in the bath tub. Yeah, it's not funny at all. I'm so sorry. No, it's, it's not funny, but it's funny because it's between us. Because I always make fun of her for taking a bath. I sent you a picture of me from the bathtub that one time. But not you couldn't see parts. I know. Mr. Bruce. Yep. Oh, so I thought it was interesting how she was so affected by that. Because first of all, she, she was like, I just sat behind her. Um, I can't remember. I think it was for Versace's funeral, wasn't it? That she said it was, but she did say she was just sitting behind. Don't you think they were friends? They probably said hello. They were in circles or they just seen each other like it socially. I would think, I would think that at some point, JFK Jr. met Princess Diana.

And, you know, and probably, Carolyn probably said hello, whatever. I mean, but just watching her sitting on that couch with like the slow, like, zoom in on her face. Because truly, she was being stalked by the paparazzi, not at the level of Diana, but close. Yeah. And like she said, she's like, because she doesn't want to them taking pictures and stuff like that. She's like, Diana, let them do it. And they still taste after her and she's dead. Yep. That would be scary. Yeah. Oh, my God, yes. Especially, well, I mean, especially after this happened, I can see her wanting to be that way. You know, maybe not so much before to that extreme, but I think I would be that way if this happened to somebody that was in a similar situation than me, especially because it was so triggering to her to begin with. Like if you were fine, like he was okay with it, you know, like he grew up around the paparazzi. So it didn't bother him until it bothered her.

I don't think at least that's how it's portrayed. Knowing his wife. I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, go ahead. I just want to say, sometimes I feel like he kind of liked it. Yeah. You know, like, yeah, he would go out and they would be there. Like he just was expecting them to be there, you know. Well, she sent some interesting things in that argument when she was like, you know, what do you want to do not what is expected of you? You know, like you're acting on what is the you think are your moral obligations, or not moral obligations, but like your obligations. And he probably did grow up with a certain sense of duty, but I also think too he rebelled from the sense of duty. And I think Caroline, his sister actually was more in line with what they wanted, where I think he was more of the rebel. Yeah. And... Hi, everyone. This is Karine. The voice is Simon Fairchild from the Magnus Ark, guys.

Maybe because, honestly, I mean, there's a few things. I think the salute, he was little. They bury JFK on his birthday, his third birthday. I think that. I think the fact that we were still in a very patriarchal time, I mean, we're in a patriarchal time now, but, like, sons usually follow in the footsteps of their dad. His name was junior, you know, all of those things. So, you know what broke my heart was when he was, when they were having that heart-to-heart discussion, and he said, she asked about his life, and he said, you know, everybody thought I, it was so hard for me to watch my dad die, and I didn't watch my dad to,

I watched my mom die twice or whatever. That was heartbreaking. Because he was free, and he probably had no idea, but he watched his mom just, you know, yeah, and yeah, and, but you can't, not that you're saying this, I'm saying, like, it's just in general, you can't fault Jackie, like, because she literally was going through probably the hardest thing ever, and she had the entire world watching her for guidance of how to behave, because everyone was like, oh, what do I do? And then she has little babies, and she was in her 30s, and oh, my god, just all of it. Now, what do you think about when he said to her about his mom? Oh, I thought that was shitty. My mom wouldn't have liked that. Well, no, that, without piss her off, because then she went on to the shit about her mom. He didn't know, like, at the wedding, before the weddings, she had said something. I do love, though, that he was like, my mom wouldn't have approved of this, and she

was just supposed to expect it to take it. And then when he was like, she said, my mom didn't want this, and he's like, what do you mean? And like, yeah, she like walked away, like, he was like, yeah, exactly. Yeah. I think once he said that, he was like, man, I put my foot in my mouth. But take that back. But no, what was I going to say? My brain doesn't work, Christie. I don't remember. You know, what I was going to say, kind of different, but in the same vein, I think it's wild that everyone is obsessed right now with 90s clothes because of the show. Meanwhile, Kelly, not that I was wearing Calvin Klein, because I was in high school and college, I was broke, but like, everything they're wearing is everything I owned. And I thought it was so boring. Can I hold my closet and pull some out? Yeah, you definitely still have it. But I would always

look at my stuff, and I was like, this is so boring. It's so plain, you know, because it was. But I mean, I get that it's classic and timeless and all of it now, but I wish I still had it. I don't know how long sleep T-shirt and a pair of jeans, like, I'm going to keep her boots. Like, I like stuff like that. Well, I do now. Mine's 40 years old, but yeah, but everybody's like it's vintage. And now yours is vintage. It is. It's so vintage. She should come and look at my closet. Well, but like all of the cable net, like, not cable net, but like, you know, all the turtleneck sweater she's wearing, I'm like, how that had that had that had that. I wish I still had it. I always loved a turtleneck. I do too. I did. Camey always me and her always loved them. They had to be tight. Well, tight and I didn't fold mine. I like kind of scrunched it. Yeah. Yeah. I love turtlenecks. You just were like a mock sleep turtleneck the other day at the show. Yeah. Yeah. I like a turtleneck.

I do too. You know who hates a turtleneck? Chloe. Why? I don't know. You feel smothered. I don't know, but one of my favorite liatards that she ever wore was that black mock turtleneck, but I loved that liatard on her. So I was like, why don't you wear turtlenecks? She's like, now, okay, because your mother said so. Yeah. That's why. When I, when they were in style, I had a really short haircut. Like, I mean, like this short, it was like kind of like a little bob thing. Was that when it was super permed? No. Okay. It was straight. I'll try to find a picture. But that's why I like turtleneck because it kind of, like, I don't know. Like your hair stopped at your shirt? Well, no, but like, like, if my hair stopped here, like, look how long I look here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had a turtleneck on it kind of broaded up. Do you know? Yeah. Got it. That's so funny. But yeah, everybody's obsessed with it. Everybody's obsessed with the 90s. And I do like the soundtrack from this show.

I like everything, but that puff song. Well, yeah, that puff song. I actually was playing the soundtrack when I was in New Orleans last week. I had a lot of fun. I was like, oh, it's a, yeah, look at it on Spotify. It's a really good soundtrack. Yeah. I really do like the show. I just, I was kind of disappointed. Not so much in this last one. Episode six, I thought was pretty boring. Yeah, I'm glad we didn't just do that episode. Glad we did the two of them together. And obviously, next week, we'll talk about the finale. I'm so nervous about next week. I know. I mean, do you remember where you were when you found out he was the playing one town? No, I didn't really care. I didn't really pay attention to that kind of stuff. Like, yeah, I never did. I still don't. Do you know what I mean? Like, I had just graduated from college. So I was back at home with my grandma and my grandma did. And I was at her house. So like, we had it on and my grandfather. And we were just like, my, they were just astounded because like, these are people who watch JFK

get shot like in real time, you know, and they were like, that poor family. Well, and then how crazy is this? The little girl who was Kara Lines daughter Tatiana, who was their flower girl, she just died from cancer. Yes. She just died this summer. She had a really aggressive cancer. And she left two little kids behind, I think. Is Kara Lines still alive? Mm-hmm. Yep. She is alive. Have you ever find out what the documentary is called? Oh, let me look. I'll tell you right now. And then we'll watch it before we do our last episode. Yeah, it's good. It's really good. It is called JFK Jr. last year. Okay, it's called, it is called, um, biography JFK Jr. the final year.

And it is on, uh, A&E TV or A&E TV, Hulu, um, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Fandango, Filo. Thank you. All right. What is it called? It's called biography like Colin JFK Jr. the final year. Okay. All right. Well, I think that is it for us. Um, don't forget to call in and give us your wildest things that you've ever woken up to after, uh, on your cell phone. Let's know, let's know all of your bad behavior. And, um, oh, I also need to know if Carolyn Bassett is inspiring this generation of girls that are dating right now to kind of be like aloof and mean to men because she's mean. And she like landed JFK Jr. Not mean, but she's not willing to like kiss his ass. He makes her chase him. Oh, I think that's great. And I, I think all girls should do that.

Right. I know. But I'm saying, but now people are like watching it, played out. Like, they're getting a handbook handed to them. Okay. You know, I need to know that too. All right. We'll see you guys on Monday for the episode. Have a good weekend and be good. Don't do anything we wouldn't do. God, that leaves them pretty open. I know. All right. Bye. Everything home.
