Speaker 1 (00:09):
Advice shops hell.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome to the natyn I share your host Rob Shooter,
and it is Wednesday, which means our dear friend Donny
Meacham joins us, Hey, Donnie, are you there?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Level love love Wednesday. Almost fell out of my chair,
almost fell backwards.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I had to go.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I had to save myself literally, and I was like, boop, almost,
well you went.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I went. I was a little startled, and then I
was like, should I just carry on speaking while he
while he grabs himself up from the floor, while you
pull yourself up from with your bootstraps like Donny's on
the floor, which only just been in the show for
less than a minute. You're crazy? How is life in
l A? I never asked you are you happy there?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I never asked you about yourself?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You doing no?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I you know, life is life, isn't it? This is
the thing. But people don't understand. There was like, oh,
you live in these fabus is his favorite? Life is life?
Like It's like it's more fun here because I'm allowed
to be game, allowed to be myself and fad just
friends and stuff like that. And I was like, but
if I had the same friends, you know, in Georgia,
I still love it. So it's not like a place
(01:16):
that makes it amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It's the peace, the people. Yeah, it's the people that's
really smart. Would you ever think of coming back to
New York? You were pretty gay here.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's reety. I've actually gotten straighter since i've been here.
But no, I don't. I can't do the cold. I
only got one good hip.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I can't break the other, right, you actual hip prey place. Yeah,
a lot of older people do leave to go to
Florida for me.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
For the weather Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Let's jump into the show. Let's jump into the show.
What time is it, my friends? It is tea time,
big story at the top of the show. Now, you know,
I love some Real Housewives. I get it. It can
be a little annoying. But let me walk you through
this a little slowly. And the reason I love this
one is a throwback to the old older housewives, the
original housewives, the ladies that I actually really was I
sort of no, not invested in, but at least I
(02:02):
knew who they were. I don't know any of the
new ones. So Kelly Bensimon, who was on the Real
Housewives of New York, she was a fashion model, in
New York. She was married to Jila Bensimon, who was
the artistic creator director of LL magazine, so L Magazine,
Vogue Elle, These are Harpers, bizarre w These are the
high end, glossy fashion magazines. Kelly was married to Gille
(02:25):
and that gave her access to really the world of
fashion and celebrities. I remember I was working with Alicia
Keys and she was on the cover of L and
I went to the photo shoes. She never looked better
at Jill's the best in the business. Kelly was there.
Kelly was at the photo shoot, so she's always been around.
She's very connected. She went onto The Housewives and everybody
thought it would be a bad fit, and I think
it was because she came up against Bethany Frankel. Now
(02:47):
Bethany was on The Housewives since day one. I've known
her for twenty years and New York sort of hustler,
really in it to win. It always got another idea.
When I knew her before the Housewives, she had this
thing called Bethany Bakes, where she was making cookies and
they didn't really taste very good, but she was really trying,
and she was doing meetings with publicers. I remember having
(03:08):
a dinner with her and she asked me how I
made Jessica Simpson a star, and I said, Jessica with
Simpson modo Sopha style. I had nothing to do with that,
but she was always curious. Bethany took off on My
Housewives though she joined this reality show that nobody believed in.
It exploded, and then Kelly joined and the two of
them were so nasty to each other, really said awful things.
All the stuff that ten years ago I'm ashamed to
(03:29):
admit I enjoyed. I really loved at Now not so much,
but back then it was funny. We'll get this. Their
lives have crossed paths again, Kelly told paigde six, but
she was on this celebrity dating app. Of course she
was reya r a ya. I think Ben Affleck is
on it? And who did she start chatting with Bethany
(03:49):
Frankel's new boyfriend the shade of it, So she's on
this app. She now claims that she had a flurry
of text messages from Bethanie's current boyfriend and she's seeing
him right now. Kelly told her friends that she met
this really nice guy on RAYA she told them his
name and they were like, oh, he dating Bethany Frankel.
(04:10):
And then her reaction was, wait, what again? So these
two have crossed paths one more time. It all feels
Donny to me a little bit too much of a coincidence.
I don't want to rain on our own prey here.
But with housewives, you have to take everything they say
with a pinch of salt. Often they make stuff up.
Often they elaborate, They certainly exaggerate. What do you think
(04:32):
about this one? Tommy?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now? Look, this is the thing. So it's tom Valante
or Alte? Have you saved a little businessmen? The only
thing is about this So Riah, which is the dating app,
is it's exclusive for people who are kind of in
the biz. So I was. Rayah has not accepted me.
I'm still on their weight list.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Do they know that you work with Rob?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I trust me, I'm on their weight list. I've been
on their weight list for years. They will not have
accepted friends of mine. They've will not accept me. I
don't know why. Don't you so right? If you're listening,
somebody right except me?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I want to are you under your own name? Donny meech?
Imagine it, and so you want to get on this app,
you can't get on. What do you think about Kelly
being on it and meeting Bethany's boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
It just only makes me go, oh he was? Is
he really in it for Bethany? Or is he really
in it to just kind of date someone in my
famous Oh that's all question?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Oh that's it. He has a pattern here. He likes
reality stars. Like if you're hitting up Kelly ben Simone,
you know she was on a reality show. Yes, I'm
not going to hit up Mike the situation. I'm not
interested in dating reality I'm not going to I'm not
going to Nicholas. Not for me. It's just that reality
(05:49):
world is not my my cup of tea, Tom Scandabal, no,
thank you, not for me. And so you might be
onto something here. Does he like a little bit of
fame that these housewives do bring him? Hence the fact
we're talking about him. I've never heard of him. He
clearly likes the spotlight, and Bethany certainly knows how to
create a spotlight, and so does Kelly. Kelly's always in
(06:12):
the paper. She's not been on that show for years,
and yet we still see her name popping up. Let
me tell you a little secret here. Everybody, when you
pop up on page six or in my column or
even in darn Ears, that isn't by chance. It's probably
a publicist or maybe you've called yourself that have got
you in this stuff. Very rarely just happens. A friend
(06:33):
of ours, a podcaster, has suddenly popped up on a
few different gossip sites, and I know from the reporters
that she's being very aggressive. She wants to be on
these sites, so she might say, oh my goodness, I
can't believe it. I'm on page six, I'm in radar,
So how dare they? They probably pitched it themselves. So
Kelly is probably behind this. She likes the publicity. She
(06:53):
didn't have to tell anybody about this, she didn't have
to do an interview with page six, but now she has.
I think she's a bit leaful about this. I don't
think Bethany is going to care, though. I think Bethany's
going to snap back. I don't think, oh it's so cynical, Donnie.
I don't think any of them are in it for love.
I think they're all in it for publicity. And what
are we doing giving him.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
We're talking about it. But look, I mean, I find
it's kind of fabulous. Now, I'm not gonna lie. If
I was Kelly Ben's mom, I would have screenshoted and
sent him straight to Bethany. That's just would have been me,
and that's just been like, hey, do you know this guy?
I would act like I didn't know it was her boyfriend.
Hey do you know this guy? He says, he's I
heard he might know you somehow. Be very sneaky about it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Love to be very sneaky, be very sneaky, although Bethany
probably say yes, let's leak it to pay six, which
brings us to our whole question of the day. Kelly
bin Simone has called Bethany Frankel's new boyfriend on a
dating site. Should deaf Bethany dump him? Should Bethany dump him?
I think she's probably enjoying all this attention. Go votes
on our Twitter pageck naughty nce Rob or our Facebook page,
which is not degussive and miss. Sure to check back
(07:57):
tomorrow to hear your results. Hey, Donnie Love, where are
you working on?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Speaking of shameless self promotion, So Harry and Megan, they
dropped the perfect couple video. So there's all there Year's
rumors going around because you know, they were shown separately,
they were two different places, and everybody's like, oh my gosh,
they're breaking up. Something's happened. He's not, you know, not
gonna make it in the Christmas card, not gonna be
invited to the Christmas Well then Megan Markle, who say
(08:25):
what you want about her? She is Bethany Frankel times
ten when it comes to being a brilliant self publicist.
She knows how to get the people talking. So they
released this eighty second montage going to Coldplay's Sky Full
of Stars. It's talk about their Archwell Foundation, which raised
quite a bit of money.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Point three million.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It was like some crazy millions amount. So let's not
worry about them. But amidst all these rumors that they're separating,
all of a sudden, here's this eighty second montage video
of the two of them holding hands, being beautiful, a
little bit over there, just steering her.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Come on, I don't mind the hutspur of it. What
I mind is that everybody does this except Harry and
Meghan pretend that they don't. It's the deceit of it.
Just be honest about it. We know why you put
out this video. This video didn't just leak out. No,
it's really beautifully produced. It's professionally produced video. It looks
(09:23):
like a rom com It looks like a romantic comedy
like Around the World in Eighty Days, or it just
looks so lovely well done. Whoever produced it, it's looking really,
really sharp. I do think it's probably because of the rumors.
I used to be a celebrity publicist. Let me give
you some free advice here to Megan and Harry and
anyone else that's listening. If you don't want rumors about
(09:44):
a rocky marriage, don't have a rocky marriage like this
stuff gets out. My sources tell me things are pretty
stressful at the minute between Harry and Meghan. The two
of them are juggling these new careers, this new life.
Things have not really worked out the way that they
I thought they would, at least professionally, and so there's
a lot going on there. I'm told they're not getting divorced.
(10:04):
That's that's not even in the cards, and no one's
screaming about that. But when I see videos like this done,
I get suspicious because it's almost like thou protest that's
innocent a little too much.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
The thing is, if it's for the Archiweal Foundation, If
I'm not mistaken, they had to have gotten Coldplay's approval
to have the song in the video, so it's like
if there it's not just some innocent like you know,
the iPhone will make you a video of like your
recent photos and these are your memories. This isn't This
wasn't like the iPhone going oh, here'll use you and
(10:37):
heary the last.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
My best memory is the most liked pictures of six months. No, no, no,
this is I don't mind. I don't mind the hoodspur
once again. There. I wish there was a little bit
more honesty about the two of them enjoying the spotlight.
That's a hard thing about Megan and Harry. They protest
all the time, Please give us our privacy, We demand
our privacy, and then they do interviews, op a right,
tell a book, so that do videos? Okay? Moving along
(11:01):
sad story. Rosie o' donald's daughter has been arrested again,
and just two months after her last arrest. So Chelsea
who really struggles, has been arrested for the third time
in two months and is facing a new sleu of
drug charges. The twenty eight year old's latest running with
the law has fans asking what went wrong. I can
tell you. Court documents revealed that Chelsea was stopped. It
(11:23):
was a traffic stop on November eighteenth over a loud exhaust.
They just thought her exhaust was too loud. However, when
they stopped her, they realized that something was very after
they called in the AK nine that's the dog unit,
to come and have a little sniff, and they found
drugs in the car. Even more shocking, Donnie Chelsea was
(11:46):
already out on bond for prior drug charges at the
time of her arrest. Clearly Chelsea Struggles Roses taught about this.
I think we're going to see a lot more of this.
I think it might get worse before it gets better.
It's just heartbreaking to watch.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
It is very heartbreaking, especially because remember the first major arrest,
it was due to like the child being in the home,
as a young baby in the home, just needles and
stuff all around the child. And this is meth basically
is what she was, you know, busted with. And that's
the thing is like, you know, I grew up with
(12:23):
people in my family who did meth. And I know
what it does to a person, and it really wrecks you.
But that's what it goes to show, like want it
grabs a hold of you, somebody like and I don't.
I hate to call her dumb, but like, it's a
dumb move to for a third time, drive around with
meth in your car, knowing that you have been previously
busted for having meth. But it just that's what it
(12:45):
does to you.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, the power of the addiction here, Donnie. I have great,
great sympathy, great great My heart is so open for Chelsea,
all wishing for her to do well. But we know
how difficult this road ahead is. Okay. Another story that's
making us very concerned is Britney Spears, Donny, She's alarming
fans again what has she been up to?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So it was her forty third birthday this week, but
according to Britney Spears, originally she was forty two, and
then she was five years old, and then she was
moving to Mexico. This video, because I thought there for
a minute Brittany was kind of on the deck on
the swing. Things had looked kind of okay for her. Well,
(13:28):
this video that she posted is just it's not she's
not well, it's not scary, and she's she looks tired.
And then she even says that paparazzi like put her
on a private jet and it's just stories that don't make.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Sense, don't make sense, They don't make sense. Brittany, if
you're listening to Lola, Lola Loa, we are sending you
our best. This is scary, scary, scary. Okay, quickly, before
we get to break a funny story, Queen Elizabeth was
allegedly pushed into the back of an elevator by cleaning staff.
So this hilarious tale has come forward where Queen Elizabeth
was at the opening of Parliament. However, they pressed the
(14:09):
wrong button in the elevator and they ended up going
down into the basement where a cleaning staff member got
on and did not realize they were on the elevator
with the queen. They must have thought it was just someone.
Now look at that, look at that, she's got a
crowd on her head. And so the cleaning person pushed
the Queen into the back of the elevator. And now
(14:31):
we're finding out what Queen Elizabeth's reported response to us.
She said eff in hell, which I love. I've heard
that the Queen had quite a knife on her.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
It was English and now look, my granny was English.
Now woman cursed like say every other word, bad word.
She liked the F word, which apparently the Queen did too,
like it was her name.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
They Okay, we're going to take a quick break and
we will be right back. Welcome back to the naughty
ven I sham rap shooting for their friend Donny, meach them. Hey, Donnie,
let's get to the polls. Last show, we talked about
herd a copy opening up about an ex boss who
had shocking claims suggestions to her about losing some weight.
He basically told her get on a treadmill. Our question
(15:21):
was quite simple, should hold her name name? She knows
who this boss was, she know who said it. Should
she name names? Eighty percent said yes. I think at
this point, if I was holder in her career leaving
the show she leaves in four or five weeks, I
think I would. I think i'd name names.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Well, the thing is, I bet it was probably the
same boss, because remember it was whoever the boss was
didn't want her to ever be on the Today Show,
never wanted to heard the.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Job that no, Jeff Sucker was the one. Jeff Sucker
didn't want her. But she said this was at a
local station, so this is somebody probably yeah, maybe she
shouldn't say it then because it was a local station,
she probably could cause him some image. Oh yeah, yeah,
I don't forget to vote on today's Paul will go
to a Twitter page. I had any nice robb or
have Facebook page, which is not he goes in, but
I'm be sure to him all right to hear your results.
(16:10):
And I'm a favorite part of the show. And nicest
of the day.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The nicest is that time of year. My goodness, do
you put up a Christmas tree?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I do, yes, I look forward to it. I'll take
I'll take a picture and send it you.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I have a fireball tree up there. It's enough. Aeron Grandade,
even Slater. They have gone Christmas tree shopping in New
York City.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It's so sweet.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I wonder if he'll, you know, have an ornament of
his child that he kind of left behind for.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Just the nicest of the day.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But this is able. And the thing is this couple
is they're really They kind of shied away at first
from the public and now they're just kind of out
there and they're like, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
This is that together. Well, initially it was. It was tricky.
I mean, it is the nicest of the day's world.
Read carefully. They both were potentially the other relationships. That
baby was a little maybe. However, we can sort of
move past that. What I was told is initially they
were so frightened that this this relationship could blow up
the Wicked movie that they thought fans would not go
if he was a cheater, if she had left her husband,
(17:11):
if she'd stole this guy, and so they downplayed it.
But now the movie's made three hundred million dollars, they're like,
figet it, forget it, We're going out. Forget it. Let's
go get the true put your gloves one, guys, the
nicest of the day. Now I noticed Meghan Markle has
crowned herself the CEO of her own company after searching
for a top candidate. So Megan was looking for a
(17:33):
CEO for her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. She couldn't
find the right person forward the job, so she found herself.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I want to see the job listing.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
This has all ready been a little bit dramatic, your payton,
your trademark that didn't go very well, and there's also
people calling working for you an s show you know
what that means, and so appointing yourself here, Megan. I
think it just maybe confirms all the rumors. Not a
(18:09):
smart move, Adams today. It's so interesting, this one, it
is so interesting. Okay, let's end with a moment of rob.
You get Rob, You Rob, you gotta rob, you get
a rob. I love this quote from Misty Copeland. If
you don't know who she is, she's one of the
premiere ballerinas in the world. She happens to be a
person of color, and that is very unusual. Still, in
twenty twenty four in the ballet, she said the following,
(18:31):
there's nothing like zoning out and chopping gunions. I love this.
She's one of the most disciplined people in the world,
and hours and hours of work artistry goes into being her. However,
when she's really happy and she just wants to zone out,
she chops onions. I listen to music, I go for
a walk. How do you zone out, Donnie?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I take a nap, and I know it sounds so crazy.
I love a good nap.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I love to just.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Close my eyes down, even if I'm sleeping, just close
my eyes and just take a minute.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Take a minute today, everybody take a minute. Figure out today.
Everybody figure out today? What is your chopping gunions? Wa'ts
your moment when you can zone out? Hey? That is
it for today. Thank you so much for listening to
