Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello Sunshine, Hey besties.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Today on the bright Side, we're popping off and dishing
on all the pop culture moments you need to know
from this week with host and film critic Naz Perez,
Like what are this year's hottest Halloween costumes? Which iconic
white two cake clothing brand is getting a refresh? And
speaking of refresh, Seth Cohen is all grown up and
in this Hot Rabbi era, y'all, it's Friday, October eleventh.
(00:26):
I'm Simone Voice.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I'm still stuck on Hot Rabbi.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm Danielle Robe And this is the bright Side from
Hello Sunshine, a daily show where we come together to
share women's stories, laugh, learn and brighten your day.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy Friday, see money.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Thank you, Happy Friday, Danielle.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I feel like we're both on this shine away. Hi.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
We had so much fun this past weekend and we
had our first ever live taping.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I had a blast. I had so much fun, and
it was just the most warm, embracing, supportive environment, Like
I literally couldn't want two feet without seeing someone that
either I fangirled over or they had something really kind
to say to me. And we were just embrace in
this huge bear hug and it just happened over and
(01:11):
over again, and it was it was just like, I
don't know, being surrounded by all your favorite girl crushes
and hypegirls like Gobby Dalkin and Amanda Klutz, who were
part of our very first live episode.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I really enjoyed reframing the conversation about imposter syndrome because
it's such a buzzy topic and I feel like we
really broke it down in a different way, and it
felt like we continued that supportive, warm energy with Jenny Garth.
She was so open and fun. I felt like we
were hanging at the peach pit. Okay, not the peach bit.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, I am truly so inspired by Jenny Garth, just
because of the way that she continues to choose herself.
I mentioned it during the interview, but I'm still so
in awe of how she and her ex husband Peter
Facchinelli have navigated co parenting post divorce. And they also
did this incredibly can and did two part podcast interview
series where they talk to each other about their divorce
(02:05):
about how they're co parenting now. It was really really
powerful and we can't forget about Anna Marie Tendler, who
joined us to talk about how she's taken control of
her life since her public divorce. I thought it was
really fascinating to hear from her about how easy it
is to lose yourself in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I think my favorite line from that interview is that
cats can't cheat.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Cats can't cheat, cats will never cheat on you.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It's the mantra we need, honestly, But she really speaks
to the impact of therapy and what you gain when
you look inward. And speaking of therapy, I was captivated
by your conversation with doctor joy Harden Bradford. I really
love all the work she's doing to remove the stigma
around mental health, and I know that conversation is going
(02:52):
to empower a lot of people. And today we get
to kick the weekend off with the best moments in
pop culture. But first it's time to spotlight our favorite
moment the week.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yes, today is International Day of the Girl Child, so
we want to spotlight all the girls far and wide
who are making this world a better place. This year's
theme is Girl's Vision for the Future, and according to
the United Nations, recent analysis shows that girls are quote
not only courageous in the face of crisis but hopeful
for the future, and the UN says that with the
(03:22):
right support, the quote potential of the world's more than
one point one billion girls is limitless. Girls can change
the world, y'all. You know research shows that if you
educate girls in underdeveloped nations, that is the best way
to lift their communities out of poverty.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
And it's up to all of us to help make
sure these girls are able to realize their full potential
and create a vision of the future where all girls
are protected and empowered, and that starts by listening to them.
So shout out to all the girls around the globe
who are dreaming and believing in a better future, who
are speaking up and taking action.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Cheers to that. That is a vision I can one
thousand percent get behind. And one more thing before we
pop off, y'all, if you have ever been ghosted, or
if you've ever been the ghost, you're gonna want to
tune into our episode with dating coach Sabrina Zohar. She
is joining us on the bright Side very soon to
talk all things ghosting. So if you have any ghosting
(04:23):
questions you've been too afraid to ask, send them over
to us at Hello at the brightsidepodcast dot com.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Simon, are you ready to pop off?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Ready as I'll ever be, Let's do it Okay. Today
we are joined by interviewer, host, film critic, and founder
of the support group Heartbroken Anonymous. It's Nas Perez. Nas.
Welcome to the bright Side.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hi guys, this is so fun. As soon as you
just did your intro, it felt so bubbly.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, Nas, you're the founder of the online and irl
support group for people going through heartbreak called Heartbroken Anonymous.
I've always loved the name heartbreak is all the famous difficult,
but once you're on the side, on the other side
of it, I've also felt like heartbreak brings some humor too,
like you just can't believe the ridiculous situations. I know
(05:10):
you're in person and virtual meetings are really heartfelt, but
I'm wondering if you've ever run into funny experiences in
Heartbroken Anonymous.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I think that's the best part about going deep and
within grief is once everyone shares about their heartbreak in
our support group, whether it's virtual or in person, there's
always a laugh in someone's share or story.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I'll never forget. There was like one time a girl
was like.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Driving to a guy's house every night, like just because
he hadn't text her back yet, and of course it's
like whoa, you know, that's like really intense, but she
was just parking outside his house and she was just like, god,
I just want to like hear from him. And everyone
just kind of laughed because it's like we sow. Everyone
just so deeply sort of understood that feeling of not
(06:03):
wanting to like face that like rejection and then personally
like heartbreak is I look at it as like your
heartbreaking open to really open up, to get you.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
To love yourself more, and I'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I was like singing sheres song Believe in the shower,
and it wasn't until I was like heartbroken.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I was like, oh my god, this is a heartbreak song.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
So that's a moment where I remember personally just laughing
out loud and be like, wow, I'm so heartbroken. I
never knew my whole life this like banger was just
about heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I was actually just going to ask you about heartbreak anthems.
So I always think of Beyonce's best thing. I never
had that to me is the heartbreak anthem, scream in
the shower, in the car someone, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I My first inclination is country music, like super dangy
country music, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, I feel like they do heartbreak really well. In County.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
They do everything really well.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I feel like they emphasize like I'm going full my
coffee in the morning, you know, like everything's so musical.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean all the partons I Will Always Love You,
that's just.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, a classic.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh yeah, I think I mean that. And also the
Whitney Houston version of course. Okay, I have to ask, though,
whatever happened with the girl who was parking outside the
guy's house, Like do we have a resolution there? I
mean that's kind of wild.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Well, what's beautiful about Heartbroken Anonymous and the safe space
that we create is the whole sort of ethos is
that you're more willing to tell a stranger how you
actually feel in your own friends and family.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
And what's beautiful is it's.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
A group that you can come to when you need
it and you don't necessarily have to come back. Maybe
it's like one month, even if she did come a
bunch and I knew the conclusion of this story, I
wouldn't share because obviously it's anonymous and confidential, but she
kind of just came in the month that she needed it.
And I think that's what's beautiful is that sometimes we're
(07:58):
scared and embarrassed to say things, especially when it comes
to heartbreak, those raw feelings that we actually feel, our
behaviors and reactions that we have to feeling rejected or broken.
But that's what's great is that we actually don't see
it as being wild. We see it as being like
so normal and part of the human experience.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So when you're not breaking your heart open and guiding
others through that process. You also co host a podcast
called I Don't Get It, where you talk about all
things dating, pop culture, sex, and I've been watching Nobody
Wants This on Netflix and it kind of reminds me
of the show that Kristen Bell and her sister host
on that show.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah, it's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I used to be a producer on the Bachelor, and
I produced one of the cast members named Ashley I
Ashley and Connetti, and she has a sister, Laura and Connetti,
who is also on the show Bachelor in Paradise. For
like a couple episodes and I was their producer, and
when I had left the show, we all became really close.
So they're like sisters to me, but they're actually blood sisters.
(08:59):
And we started a po podcast called I Don't Get It,
just based off things we don't get so it's like
sort of sex relationships, just millennial subcultures.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
And so we started this podcast.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And then when I started watching Nobody Wants This, that's
exactly Ashley and sort of Lauren's dynamic, so it was
really cool to see that reflected and Nobody Wants This
it was pretty well.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So this show has me in a choke hold. I've
now watched it twice.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Let's talk about it.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Danielle, same with you.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Why got you watched it twice? I love that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, it's like one of those shows like it's like,
I'm not putting it in the sex in the City category.
It's not like iconic in that way yet, but it's
one of those shows that you could just throw on.
It's kind of like Emily in Paris. You can just
throw it on and watch it multiple times because it's
so happy. Yeah, So for all the besties who haven't
watched the series yet, It follows a podcast host played
by Kristen Bell who is sort of embodying Aaron Foster's life.
(09:56):
It was written by Aaron Foster and produced by Sarah Foster.
Kristen Bell meets newly single Rabbi Adam Brody, and the
series follows their love story. Adam is Jewish, Christen Bell's
character is not, and it's like it follows like them
trying to figure out if they can make a life together.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's gotten rave reviews.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Vanity Fair said that Adam Brody has entered his hot
rabbi era. Everybody feels very excited about the re emergence
of Adam Brody after the OC.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Were you guys OC fans?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I never actually watched the OC. You like you watched it, Simon, Yeah,
I did. I was like more Laguna Beach, like I
liked like the real sort of who oh yeah. It
was so real, like going to be just so real.
It was so real, so not staged, so not stage.
I know that was basically a scripted show. I heard
that Seth Cohen's character in the OC is very similar.
(10:48):
I guess would would you say, Danielle that it's like similar?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, kind of like very witty, fast talking, adorable, but like,
what do you guys think of the show, And also
as I'm curious what you think about the ingredients of
a perfect realm com like why is this getting so
much praise? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
So I think one, this show does really well because
Adam Brody and Kristen Bell are friends. So Adam Brody
and Leeton Mester his wife, and Kristen Bell and her
husband Dex Shepherd actually all hang out. And Kristen Bell
actually asked if Adam Brody could play the character in
Hot Rabbi and nobody wants this, And I think because
(11:29):
they have that shared chemistry really works. But I really think,
aside from just Adam Brody being like this really.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Hot Jewish guy who he's been hot forever.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
He's been like on a Hulu show called Fleischmann's in Trouble,
I think we're just not used to seeing like a
healthy masculine man sort of embody all those traits and
stick by the woman and want to work things out
on screen. Like Actually, while I was watching it, it
made me really sad because I feel like, in my
stomach each episode I was sort of expecting him to
fall short in some way and I was like, Wow,
(11:59):
we really have all in short in general when it
comes to the male character in the rom com, and
maybe the male is the one that can really show up,
and so I think that's what everyone's obsessed with. And
you know, he really shows up for her, and whether
you've seen a finale or not, you'll see that he
continues to show up for her in a way that's
really healthy and really just great to see.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think it's resonating so deeply with audiences because we
rarely get to see a midlife, mid thirties, early forties romance.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Well, I think a lot of people, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, I think a lot of people have felt overlooked
by Hollywood, neglected by it. I also think there's something
that's so charming about just like the normalcy of it all.
They're very normal people and they do normal things, and
so there's something comforting about that. But in terms of
what makes a successful rom com and immemorable rom com,
(12:52):
I think tension is number one, right, and that is
what keeps us all invested in their story. Is this
tension that's so perva throughout the season. Yeah, I've been
dying to ask you why you like the show like,
why you feel like it's resonating with you, so it's
your turn girly.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Okay, Well, first of all, I feel like it has
the ingredients of a perfect rom com, Like it has
a meet cute, It has really fun, quirky, lovable supporting
cast members. Like it's not just the two leads that
you fall in love with, which I think is really
goodlords are siblings.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah yeah, oh my god, yeah, the brother's so good.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
But there's also a great conflict or obstacle, like there's
a hero's journey, you believe it. I really think there's
a reality aspect too. They had a rabbi, Steve Leader,
consult on the characters and the script, so I feel
like there's like a believability for people. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I wanted to ask you, Danielle, because I saw an
article about a rabbi who weighed in saying this actually
feels and not that a scripted show has to be accurate.
I was just curious they were saying that, like, uh,
a rabbi and head of a synagogue could actually in
fact be with someone who's not Jewish, And I was
just curious what your thoughts were on that.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Oh yeah, that's deep.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think it depends if you're part of like the
reform Jewish synagogue culture. I think it's totally doable if
you're more religious and orthodox.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm not sure how that goes.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
But I do think that the believability of the characters
is definitely something that people buy into.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Nice, Yeah, the mother in law dynamic. I was like,
you're a professional future daughter in law, Like I was
just in awe of.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Kristen Bell's character is so good at being a daughter
in law?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, yeah, because she she's just like I'm here whether
you like it or not, and like that sort of
groundedness is so also beautiful to witness and the way
she again not to spoil anything, but the way she
just continuously chooses herself while she's growing is so important
for us to see as women too. I think someone
who's not conforming or playing small to make a relationship.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Work just to quick aside.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I saw an interview with Kristen Bell saying that when
she was watching the show with her husband Dak Shepherd,
that Dax looked at her and was like, I want
you to kiss Adam Brody so badly, Like that's how good?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
No way, Yes, that's how good their chemistry. And like Simon,
to your point, the tension was you know.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Okay, we are just a couple of weeks away from Halloween,
and Real Simple just put out an article predicting this
year's most popular Halloween costumes. Before we dive into the article,
I need guesses because I feel like every year there's
a new sort of obvious costumes that are going to
be happening. I have one, Okay, please share with the class.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I think Raygun, the disgraced breakdancer from Australia, is going
to be a big one. Someone I would have never
thought of that. Yeah, she's going to be near the
top of the list.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
That's such a good one too, because it's so easy
to pull together.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's so easy. I can run Goodwill right now, I
can buy an old green track suit. I'll show up
looking like ray Gun to the part.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
That's crazy so good.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I know Man on the world stage too, it's so wild.
I think we're going to see a lot of pop
culture moments like that. Like I already know a couple
that wants to do Sabrina Carpenter and an alien.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Remember when she kissed the alien?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
So I think that's sort of in line of like
what you're saying with an Olympics moment, Yes, which I
really love, but I think it's so funny. I thought
we were going to see a lot of jokers in
Harley Quinn's but now that the movie's not doing as projected,
I don't know if we will. But the Penguin is
a big show on Max, and I could see a
lot of people dressing up as like Penguin and Alphaba
(16:46):
and Glinda for like those people that like to be
like ahead of the trend before Wicked comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's a heavy lift if you're gonna show up as Alphabum.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Though you're covering.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yourself in green paint, like I mean crops and one
who can do that?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Yeah, it's so true.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Do you think in terms of couple's costumes, what do
you think, Like, I think we're gonna see a lot
of Travis Kelsey Taylor school.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yes, Oh my god, it's like insane because all you
have to do is like throw on a red lip
and like put you know, your partner in a jersey.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
What do we think about Kylie Jenner and Timothy Shallowy costumes?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Is that gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's harder to pull off.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, And I also feel like they haven't been in
the ether as much. I don't know if it would
be like top of mind for people, but that would
be a sick costume. I feel like we're gonna see
a lot of groups of friends or families, especially like
little kids dress up as the emotions of Inside Out too.
It's the highest grossing animated movie of all time, like
over Frozen, and I remember when Frozen came out, they
(17:44):
were so many like Elsa's everywhere, you know.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
So I think we're gonna see a lot of Inside
Out too.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Okay, do you want to know what the predictions are?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Okay, First up, beetlejuice. Lots and lots of beetle juice.
Have you seen the beetle juice lip trend? No, that's
the beetlejuice lip About that?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Is it like wearing a black lip or like putting
white powder over it?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, there's like a lipstain that's like deep purple that
people put on and then when you peel it off,
it becomes like a pretty rose color and it's more
of like a new let's sick.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, so you want to look like a demon who's
been living underground for hundreds of thousands of years exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
The other ones were pop icons like Taylor Swift now
as you weren't so far off, Ariana Grande but maybe
not wicked.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Just Ariana as a just Ariana. Yeah, that's a good one.
That's an easy one. Caddier's Ponytail.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yep, I went as Ariana one year.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Lady Gaga or Beyonce. I wonder if people are going
to do Beyonce from the Renaissance tour like all Silver.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I actually think what we're going to see are a
lot of cowgirls and cowboys this year because with her
Cowboy Carter album, Western just Aesthetic was everywhere showing up
on like fashion runaways and just in regular you know,
department stores like Zara.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, hot tip for anybody who is near southern California.
You know those sketchy like souvenir stores on Hollywood Boulevard,
They actually have great chrome cowboy out.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Why are you?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I love those wait, I love those stories. I shot
from them regularly.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Thank you NAS gift on our first day from one
of those stories.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I haven't oh, I want to get a gift for
someone there, but I love going onto like my Wou'd
you get her?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It was a fake Oscar that said like best coworkers.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
That's so sweet?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
This list also says Bridgerton inside out to Wicked Harley
Quinn and the joke are Deadpool and Wolverine and even Minions,
which is interesting.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
That's kind of making a comeback. Do you guys know
what you're going to be?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I always like to dip into like nostalgia, and I
feel like a lot of movies that we liked growing
up were coming back and I've actually so. Death Becomes
Her is a movie that I love, starring Goldie Han,
Meryl Streep and Bruce Willis and Sabrina Carpenter and her
music video Taste of Ripped Off. Death Becomes Her with
Jenna or Tega, So I could see a lot of
people playing Meryl and Goldie Hans's character from Death Becomes Her.
(20:07):
If you haven't seen it, look up the movie poster.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
It's iconic.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
But there's a woman in that movie who has like
the Stay Young potion, and I want to be her character,
but I don't know if I'm to be able to
pull it off.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
I'm upsets with Halloween. I love like planning weeks in it.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Do you go all out?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Nas I do?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I do?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
When I have like good disposable income, I do.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
So if I don't dress up, you know, I'm not
doing that well because it's expensive.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
It is, and yeah, in I don't know, I have
a hard time spending money on Halloween. It's one night,
Like I would I would much rather take myself on
a staycation, vacation, spa day something. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I you have to go young kids, so I feel
like it's about them at this point too.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
It is, yeah, which gets me off the hook, which
is kind of nice.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah, and it's kind of more fun that kids Halloween.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
See.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, living Halloween through the lens of a child, there's
like no greater feeling like walking around and then being
someone else.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
You know, the absolute opposite.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Now, as I cannot plan for Halloween, I never know
what I'm doing until like the morning of Halloween, and
so really my costume has to exist in my closet,
like I'll just cullo something together.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I was thinking this year coyote ugly is easy.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I have leather pants, I have like a tea that's
a rock and roll.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, no, that's great because I'm telling you, I think
sexy cowgirl in that stun. Yeah, there, you're a Western style.
I think that's you're like right on point.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
When I was growing up, my mom always went all
out for Halloween, and I remember I had the best
memories and she would come to school dressed up like
in crazy outfits. And one year my dad was a
dentist and so she came as the tooth Fairy and
it was so cute.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's so cute.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No, I think you got to go all out for
your kids, Simone.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
That's so cute.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Now, should we decide on a costume for Simone this year?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
What are they really into?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I don't see it. That's the thing. They would want
me to be a minion?
Speaker 4 (21:59):
If anything, it's someone's like, I'm not trying to be
a minion. I think I like more classic costumes, like which.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You know, or which is always good?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Like, or like going as a vegetable you know, and
you're like a family of veggies like I love.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I think those are the ones that bring me the
most joy.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I'll tell you the costume that I aspire to be
if I can actually like press ad to cart on
Amazon would be a clover from Bring it On.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh that's you can't do that on Amazon.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, if I, if I, if I convince myself to
spend the money on it, I would be do.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
A bright side costume and I'll be the what's the
other team?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, I forget the one that appropriated the clovers. Yeah,
the choreography.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I'll be the bad guy.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
No, you know who you could be. You could be
Eliza Love She's the gymnast. She's like the bad girl
gymnast from the other school. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
She had the twist favorite and like the two twists
in the front, which I thought was so cool.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I tried to do that.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
After that movie. I like tried to convince my mom
that I needed to like bees wax my hair into
like folo.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I love it. I wait, someone you should do it
because you can totally return the costume.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
See, yeah, this is the kind of advice that I need.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I also think Gabrielle Union should do it and like
the Internet will break.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Last thing I'll say about Bringing On, because I could
talk about this for hours, but there was this really
cute clip of Kirsen Duns at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery
where they screen a lot of old movies, and she
was watching it and then reciting the words. She still
knew all the words to the cheers, and it was
it was so cute.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I love it is so cute.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
We need to take a quick break, but we'll be
right back to popping off with nas Perez. And we're
back with nas Perez. Okay, y'all. From Costumes to Fashion.
Just this week, Vogue announced the first details about the
(24:04):
twenty twenty five met Gala. Coleman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Asap,
Rocky Farrell Williams, and Anna Wintor of course, will serve
as co chairs. And the theme this year is super
Fine Tailoring Black Style, So Vogue says, this exhibition will
focus on black dandyism, and we'll examine the quote importance
(24:25):
of clothing and style to the formation of black identities.
And this is actually kind of a big deal because
this will actually be the first Costume Institute exhibition in
more than twenty years that's dedicated exclusively to men'swear, and
the first time the exhibition will focus only on work
from designers of color. I know Danielle and I had
(24:49):
some instant reactions to this in the studio yesterday when
we found out about this. Nas what's your reaction to
next year's Met Galla theme?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
My reaction was perfectly just like emulated in the way
that you said, super fine, Like it was just so
I was like, what, Wow, Like, good on Met Gala
for getting us all interested again, especially after last year.
I feel like the public spectator is this younger generation
gen Z isn't so much as into this sort of
like you know, the biggest site in fashion.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
So to me, I was like, wow, this is so sick.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
And also just to see how like women in general,
like we've all been rocking men's wear for so long. Yeah,
so I think this is like a perfect way to
celebrate that. I also wanted to just say that Lebron
James is also an honorary chair, so it's so sick
to have Lebron Oldest, one of the best obviously athletes
in the MPa.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Him being a co chair.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
And what I love most about this was the fact
that all the co chairs are actually into fashion, you
know how in past years it's been like Chris Hemsworth,
the Ryan Reynolds and I'm like, oh, now we have
Farwell Williams, who's the creative director of men'swear at Louis Vauton.
Coleman Domingo is like one of the best dress men
in Hollywood and like really prove that on the press
tour during award season last year with Rustin and the
(26:07):
color purple. And they have Lewis Hamilton who talk about
like this being the first time that we're solely focusing
on black designers. Lewis Hamilton in twenty twenty one actually
paid the tickets are expensive for the Mecala. He paid
for like three or more young black designers just to attend.
And he's a race car driver and he has a
(26:27):
line with Tommy Hill. Figure he got an entire table.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, there was a lack of representation and he saw
it and so he bought a whole table out and
it kind of changed the game for the Metcala.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Yeah, like so sick, right, And so for these people
to be honored in this way, like for the co
chairs to actually be involved in fashion and like love
black designers, I think is just going to take the
Mecala like to the next level. And then of course
there's Asap Rocky, who we all know is like the
king of fashion married to the Queen of Fashion, and
(26:57):
like having covered the Met for a couple years now,
they always show up really late, Like you know how
we always see Rihanna come last. What I think the
big question going into Met Gala next year is like,
is Rihanna going to show up on time with Asap first?
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Because when you're a coach.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Cherry, you have to show up first, Yeah, you know,
to sort of honor him and it being sort of
his moment this year, which I think is really cool.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Here's my question.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I don't know what dandyism is, so I googled it
and it says a synonym for dandyism is foppishness, which
also doesn't help me.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
What is foppishness? Okay, I'm glad you brought this up, Danielle,
because I think we do need to clarify the term dandy.
I also didn't really understand what this term meant. Just
reading from the Met Museum website, it says historically the
term dandy was used to describe someone, often a man
who's extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline.
(27:49):
So dandyism offered black people an opportunity to use clothing, gesture, irony,
and wit to transform their given identities and imagine new
ways of embodying political and social possibilities. And then when
you think of modern day examples of a dandy, people
like Prince come to mind with his really ostentatious ruffles
(28:09):
and velvet. Andre three thousand during his hip hop peak
era with the dapper hats and the bold signature glasses
and super colorful fits. Also Andre Leon Tally with his
you know, custom floor length calf dans. So I think
this will be a really cool opportunity to inform a
(28:30):
lot of fashion lovers about the history of black men's wear.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
In addition, there's a big emphasis on gender fluidity and
androgynous beauty in dandyism. Yeah, and I think fashion has
been like segueing towards androgyny anyways, And so I'm actually
excited to see the looks, Like what are they going
to bring out?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I can't wait to see what everyone wears. Okay, from
the megala to nineties and two thousands. Nostalgia, Oh my
favorite topic. It's obviously been a huge trend these past
few years, right and a lot of brands are trying
to make a comeback by appealing to that nostalgia demographic.
And one of those brands that's trying to make a
(29:12):
comeback is the Limited Too. Do y'all remember limited To?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah? Limited To had my entire young tween years in
a choke hold.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Remember that and all the Delias bbies, like all the
pacsn Yeah, like shop. Limited To is like right across
from Pacsan at the book ratone mall where I grew up.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
But that's like, immediately what I remember.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
We're gonna have to talk offline about South Florida because
I'm from Miami.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Oh my god, yay, I would love that.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, I remember I adored this one limited To Tankini
that I yes, bring back the Tankini. Millennials want the
Tankini totally.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well, limited To is officially making a comeback, and this
time for adults. So get ready y'all. The limited To
Adult collection is coming this spring. In a post announced
on Instagram, the brand said the line is a quote
tribute to our cherished ogs that have supported us all along,
not limited to trying to use our modern day slang.
(30:14):
That's so funny to me.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I think it's really cringe.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Like Limited to coming back is very cringe to me personally,
because they're gonna come out with a holiday capsule collection,
which is technically a preview to that collection that you
just mentioned will come out next year. And they posted
this like black quilted bomber jacket, and it just to
me looks like a free jacket you would get after
working on a production like in La you know, like
(30:39):
here's your show jacket.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
And it was just not it for me.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
So I'm gonna have to wait and see what they're
actually going to roll out to weigh in, because based
off that jacket, I'm not I'm a little cringed out.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I agree. Maybe it hasn't aged, well, maybe it hasn't
aged with us, but if they bring that that Tankini,
if they bring back a Tankini, then I'm in.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I just hope if they do this right. They got
to do it right. They can't let us down. I
just remember having such fond memories. It was like Abercrombie
before Abercrombie, I think Limited two walks, so Abercrombie could run.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Like we were wearing that before you could graduate.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yes, like I think we bought like underwear. It limited To.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
We bought like chokers, and then you could go anywhere
a teen, you could go to Ambercrombie.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That's so funny.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
I was more a Victoria's Secret Pink girl over limited To.
So think like sweatpants folded down ten times.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Did you ever wear Juicy tracksuits?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I have one in my closet right now. Juicy made
a comeback recently.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
The way I begged my parents for a Juicy tracksuit.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
That belore they were and the key.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Chains they were so expensive it was like wearing a
towel totally.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, okay, I feel like the best thing that limited
To could do here is higher a Y two k
era celebri to kind of steer or even like a
fashion icon to kind of steer and guide this collection.
Similarly to how Gap has brought on Zach Posen to
take over creative efforts there, I think that would be
the best thing to do so that they don't understand
(32:15):
right about that, or at.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Least use someone in marketing, Like if I saw Dua
Liba wearing something from the limited To line, I'd probably
be like, okay, let me let me take a second
look at this.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Maybe I can actually rock.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
This one hundred percent. Yeah, yeah, agreed.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Okay, So Naz, you're not wearing it, Simone, you're a
maybe maybe.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, I'll see what they have. Yeah, I'm a maybe.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah, I'm a maybe too. But I'm leaning towards yes.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I'm honest, I'm leaning towards us. To be honest, it's
a yes for me. I have been really tempted to
buy a Von Dutch hat though, you guys I loved those.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I want to bring that, don't do it.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
I would rock the one thing I would rock from
Why two K Now like I wouldn't rock at Hardy.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
I don't think i'd rock Von Dutch, but i'd rock
true Religion.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, that's like a deep.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Indigo, make your butt really perky, low rise true Religion
with long bell bottoms and shoes.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I would rock that.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
That's a good call.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, that's a Verac.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Well, the low rise is back. It's now the new
Jean style. It's our nightmare come true. It's true. The
men are gonna love it, the women not so much.
The men have been begging for this comeback forever. What
would you guys wear like from those days.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean I still wear Abercrombie jeans sometimes.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Really a lot of people love them.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, they make great jeans. I don't tell anyone, but
now I have.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Yay came out.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah you know.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
I'm actually not a big nostalgia girl. I kind of
like to keep it pushing. I'm I'm happy in the
twenty twenty four is. I like the styles better, I
like the cuts. They're better for me. I remember I
was always kind of like a curvy girl, and I
remember being pissed at fashion growing up because it was
never made for my boss. I always felt uncomfortable, and
(34:02):
I really think it's changed, Like bathing suits fit me.
Everything fits better now. So I'm happy in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
I'm going to keep living in the past.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
You guys, Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
It's good for you.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's the beauty of twenty twenty four is everyone gets
to choose.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
That's feminism people.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Well, Nas, thanks for popping off with us, Thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Oh my god, thank you guys so much for having me.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
I loved our chat and now I gotta you rethink
all my fashion choices from back in the day.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
So Nasprez is a host film critic and founder of
the support group Heartbroken Anonymous. You can find her on
social media at Nasprez.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
It's time for another short break. We'll be right back
to share what's in our cart this week. We're back,
all right, simone. It's Friday, so let's get ready for
the weekend with What's in Your Cart, presented by Walmart.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Welcome to your Walmart.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
This is our weekly segment where we have the opportunity
to share a product that we're loving right now.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
This time of year is so much fun, Danielle, mostly
because I get to see my boys get so excited
for Halloween. Like they are obsessed with Halloween right now.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
That's so cute. Do they know what they want to be?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Oh? Yeah, We've got a Jack Skellington and a Jedi
in the house. We've tried on their costumes. It's so adorable.
But here's the thing. I got to admit, I feel
so overwhelmed by the pressure to decorate for Halloween. It's
become a whole thing in recent years.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
What do you mean a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I was going for a walk in our neighborhood with
my boys, and I just noticed that so many houses
have these elaborate Halloween decorations in the yard, and my
boys are begging me to get some. I mean, I'm
used to decorating for winter holidays that I kind of
know how to do, but I haven't really gotten into
Halloween yet. I don't really know where to start.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Are you going to lean in this year?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
I honestly feel like I have to. The demand has
reached a fever pitch in my house, and I, you
know what, I can't resist creating a little holiday magic
for my kids. So I went to Walmart and I
got a giant sixteen foot spider web. It's epic sixteen feet. Yes,
you can go indoor outdoor. It's truly like the perfect
(36:16):
Halloween decoration. And my kids are so stoked. I think
they're thinking, like, oh, we might actually be one of
the coolest decorated houses on the block.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Now I feel like, you guys can have a haunted house.
You're such a cool mom.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Well, you know what, We're gonna start small, maybe haunted
house next year.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Okay, Bestie's that's it for today's show.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Thank you, Happy Friday, Danielle.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I feel like we're both on this shine away. Hi.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
We had so much fun this past weekend and we
had our first ever live taping.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I had a blast. I had so much fun, and
it was just the most warm, embracing, supportive environment, Like
I literally couldn't want two feet without seeing someone that
either I fangirled over or they had something really kind
to say to me. And we were just embrace in
this huge bear hug and it just happened over and
(01:11):
over again, and it was it was just like, I
don't know, being surrounded by all your favorite girl crushes
and hypegirls like Gobby Dalkin and Amanda Klutz, who were
part of our very first live episode.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I really enjoyed reframing the conversation about imposter syndrome because
it's such a buzzy topic and I feel like we
really broke it down in a different way, and it
felt like we continued that supportive, warm energy with Jenny Garth.
She was so open and fun. I felt like we
were hanging at the peach pit. Okay, not the peach bit.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, I am truly so inspired by Jenny Garth, just
because of the way that she continues to choose herself.
I mentioned it during the interview, but I'm still so
in awe of how she and her ex husband Peter
Facchinelli have navigated co parenting post divorce. And they also
did this incredibly can and did two part podcast interview
series where they talk to each other about their divorce
(02:05):
about how they're co parenting now. It was really really
powerful and we can't forget about Anna Marie Tendler, who
joined us to talk about how she's taken control of
her life since her public divorce. I thought it was
really fascinating to hear from her about how easy it
is to lose yourself in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I think my favorite line from that interview is that
cats can't cheat.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Cats can't cheat, cats will never cheat on you.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It's the mantra we need, honestly, But she really speaks
to the impact of therapy and what you gain when
you look inward. And speaking of therapy, I was captivated
by your conversation with doctor joy Harden Bradford. I really
love all the work she's doing to remove the stigma
around mental health, and I know that conversation is going
(02:52):
to empower a lot of people. And today we get
to kick the weekend off with the best moments in
pop culture. But first it's time to spotlight our favorite
moment the week.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yes, today is International Day of the Girl Child, so
we want to spotlight all the girls far and wide
who are making this world a better place. This year's
theme is Girl's Vision for the Future, and according to
the United Nations, recent analysis shows that girls are quote
not only courageous in the face of crisis but hopeful
for the future, and the UN says that with the
(03:22):
right support, the quote potential of the world's more than
one point one billion girls is limitless. Girls can change
the world, y'all. You know research shows that if you
educate girls in underdeveloped nations, that is the best way
to lift their communities out of poverty.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
And it's up to all of us to help make
sure these girls are able to realize their full potential
and create a vision of the future where all girls
are protected and empowered, and that starts by listening to them.
So shout out to all the girls around the globe
who are dreaming and believing in a better future, who
are speaking up and taking action.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Cheers to that. That is a vision I can one
thousand percent get behind. And one more thing before we
pop off, y'all, if you have ever been ghosted, or
if you've ever been the ghost, you're gonna want to
tune into our episode with dating coach Sabrina Zohar. She
is joining us on the bright Side very soon to
talk all things ghosting. So if you have any ghosting
(04:23):
questions you've been too afraid to ask, send them over
to us at Hello at the brightsidepodcast dot com.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Simon, are you ready to pop off?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Ready as I'll ever be, Let's do it Okay. Today
we are joined by interviewer, host, film critic, and founder
of the support group Heartbroken Anonymous. It's Nas Perez. Nas.
Welcome to the bright Side.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hi guys, this is so fun. As soon as you
just did your intro, it felt so bubbly.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, Nas, you're the founder of the online and irl
support group for people going through heartbreak called Heartbroken Anonymous.
I've always loved the name heartbreak is all the famous difficult,
but once you're on the side, on the other side
of it, I've also felt like heartbreak brings some humor too,
like you just can't believe the ridiculous situations. I know
(05:10):
you're in person and virtual meetings are really heartfelt, but
I'm wondering if you've ever run into funny experiences in
Heartbroken Anonymous.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I think that's the best part about going deep and
within grief is once everyone shares about their heartbreak in
our support group, whether it's virtual or in person, there's
always a laugh in someone's share or story.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I'll never forget. There was like one time a girl
was like.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Driving to a guy's house every night, like just because
he hadn't text her back yet, and of course it's
like whoa, you know, that's like really intense, but she
was just parking outside his house and she was just like, god,
I just want to like hear from him. And everyone
just kind of laughed because it's like we sow. Everyone
just so deeply sort of understood that feeling of not
(06:03):
wanting to like face that like rejection and then personally
like heartbreak is I look at it as like your
heartbreaking open to really open up, to get you.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
To love yourself more, and I'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I was like singing sheres song Believe in the shower,
and it wasn't until I was like heartbroken.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I was like, oh my god, this is a heartbreak song.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
So that's a moment where I remember personally just laughing
out loud and be like, wow, I'm so heartbroken. I
never knew my whole life this like banger was just
about heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I was actually just going to ask you about heartbreak anthems.
So I always think of Beyonce's best thing. I never
had that to me is the heartbreak anthem, scream in
the shower, in the car someone, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I My first inclination is country music, like super dangy
country music, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, I feel like they do heartbreak really well. In County.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
They do everything really well.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I feel like they emphasize like I'm going full my
coffee in the morning, you know, like everything's so musical.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean all the partons I Will Always Love You,
that's just.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, a classic.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh yeah, I think I mean that. And also the
Whitney Houston version of course. Okay, I have to ask, though,
whatever happened with the girl who was parking outside the
guy's house, Like do we have a resolution there? I
mean that's kind of wild.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Well, what's beautiful about Heartbroken Anonymous and the safe space
that we create is the whole sort of ethos is
that you're more willing to tell a stranger how you
actually feel in your own friends and family.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
And what's beautiful is it's.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
A group that you can come to when you need
it and you don't necessarily have to come back. Maybe
it's like one month, even if she did come a
bunch and I knew the conclusion of this story, I
wouldn't share because obviously it's anonymous and confidential, but she
kind of just came in the month that she needed it.
And I think that's what's beautiful is that sometimes we're
(07:58):
scared and embarrassed to say things, especially when it comes
to heartbreak, those raw feelings that we actually feel, our
behaviors and reactions that we have to feeling rejected or broken.
But that's what's great is that we actually don't see
it as being wild. We see it as being like
so normal and part of the human experience.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So when you're not breaking your heart open and guiding
others through that process. You also co host a podcast
called I Don't Get It, where you talk about all
things dating, pop culture, sex, and I've been watching Nobody
Wants This on Netflix and it kind of reminds me
of the show that Kristen Bell and her sister host
on that show.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah, it's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I used to be a producer on the Bachelor, and
I produced one of the cast members named Ashley I
Ashley and Connetti, and she has a sister, Laura and Connetti,
who is also on the show Bachelor in Paradise. For
like a couple episodes and I was their producer, and
when I had left the show, we all became really close.
So they're like sisters to me, but they're actually blood sisters.
(08:59):
And we started a po podcast called I Don't Get It,
just based off things we don't get so it's like
sort of sex relationships, just millennial subcultures.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
And so we started this podcast.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And then when I started watching Nobody Wants This, that's
exactly Ashley and sort of Lauren's dynamic, so it was
really cool to see that reflected and Nobody Wants This
it was pretty well.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So this show has me in a choke hold. I've
now watched it twice.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Let's talk about it.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Danielle, same with you.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Why got you watched it twice? I love that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, it's like one of those shows like it's like,
I'm not putting it in the sex in the City category.
It's not like iconic in that way yet, but it's
one of those shows that you could just throw on.
It's kind of like Emily in Paris. You can just
throw it on and watch it multiple times because it's
so happy. Yeah, So for all the besties who haven't
watched the series yet, It follows a podcast host played
by Kristen Bell who is sort of embodying Aaron Foster's life.
(09:56):
It was written by Aaron Foster and produced by Sarah Foster.
Kristen Bell meets newly single Rabbi Adam Brody, and the
series follows their love story. Adam is Jewish, Christen Bell's
character is not, and it's like it follows like them
trying to figure out if they can make a life together.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's gotten rave reviews.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Vanity Fair said that Adam Brody has entered his hot
rabbi era. Everybody feels very excited about the re emergence
of Adam Brody after the OC.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Were you guys OC fans?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I never actually watched the OC. You like you watched it, Simon, Yeah,
I did. I was like more Laguna Beach, like I
liked like the real sort of who oh yeah. It
was so real, like going to be just so real.
It was so real, so not staged, so not stage.
I know that was basically a scripted show. I heard
that Seth Cohen's character in the OC is very similar.
(10:48):
I guess would would you say, Danielle that it's like similar?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, kind of like very witty, fast talking, adorable, but like,
what do you guys think of the show, And also
as I'm curious what you think about the ingredients of
a perfect realm com like why is this getting so
much praise? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
So I think one, this show does really well because
Adam Brody and Kristen Bell are friends. So Adam Brody
and Leeton Mester his wife, and Kristen Bell and her
husband Dex Shepherd actually all hang out. And Kristen Bell
actually asked if Adam Brody could play the character in
Hot Rabbi and nobody wants this, And I think because
(11:29):
they have that shared chemistry really works. But I really think,
aside from just Adam Brody being like this really.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Hot Jewish guy who he's been hot forever.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
He's been like on a Hulu show called Fleischmann's in Trouble,
I think we're just not used to seeing like a
healthy masculine man sort of embody all those traits and
stick by the woman and want to work things out
on screen. Like Actually, while I was watching it, it
made me really sad because I feel like, in my
stomach each episode I was sort of expecting him to
fall short in some way and I was like, Wow,
(11:59):
we really have all in short in general when it
comes to the male character in the rom com, and
maybe the male is the one that can really show up,
and so I think that's what everyone's obsessed with. And
you know, he really shows up for her, and whether
you've seen a finale or not, you'll see that he
continues to show up for her in a way that's
really healthy and really just great to see.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think it's resonating so deeply with audiences because we
rarely get to see a midlife, mid thirties, early forties romance.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Well, I think a lot of people, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, I think a lot of people have felt overlooked
by Hollywood, neglected by it. I also think there's something
that's so charming about just like the normalcy of it all.
They're very normal people and they do normal things, and
so there's something comforting about that. But in terms of
what makes a successful rom com and immemorable rom com,
(12:52):
I think tension is number one, right, and that is
what keeps us all invested in their story. Is this
tension that's so perva throughout the season. Yeah, I've been
dying to ask you why you like the show like,
why you feel like it's resonating with you, so it's
your turn girly.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Okay, Well, first of all, I feel like it has
the ingredients of a perfect rom com, Like it has
a meet cute, It has really fun, quirky, lovable supporting
cast members. Like it's not just the two leads that
you fall in love with, which I think is really
goodlords are siblings.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah yeah, oh my god, yeah, the brother's so good.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
But there's also a great conflict or obstacle, like there's
a hero's journey, you believe it. I really think there's
a reality aspect too. They had a rabbi, Steve Leader,
consult on the characters and the script, so I feel
like there's like a believability for people. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I wanted to ask you, Danielle, because I saw an
article about a rabbi who weighed in saying this actually
feels and not that a scripted show has to be accurate.
I was just curious they were saying that, like, uh,
a rabbi and head of a synagogue could actually in
fact be with someone who's not Jewish, And I was
just curious what your thoughts were on that.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Oh yeah, that's deep.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think it depends if you're part of like the
reform Jewish synagogue culture. I think it's totally doable if
you're more religious and orthodox.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm not sure how that goes.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
But I do think that the believability of the characters
is definitely something that people buy into.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Nice, Yeah, the mother in law dynamic. I was like,
you're a professional future daughter in law, Like I was
just in awe of.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Kristen Bell's character is so good at being a daughter
in law?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, yeah, because she she's just like I'm here whether
you like it or not, and like that sort of
groundedness is so also beautiful to witness and the way
she again not to spoil anything, but the way she
just continuously chooses herself while she's growing is so important
for us to see as women too. I think someone
who's not conforming or playing small to make a relationship.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Work just to quick aside.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I saw an interview with Kristen Bell saying that when
she was watching the show with her husband Dak Shepherd,
that Dax looked at her and was like, I want
you to kiss Adam Brody so badly, Like that's how good?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
No way, Yes, that's how good their chemistry. And like Simon,
to your point, the tension was you know.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Okay, we are just a couple of weeks away from Halloween,
and Real Simple just put out an article predicting this
year's most popular Halloween costumes. Before we dive into the article,
I need guesses because I feel like every year there's
a new sort of obvious costumes that are going to
be happening. I have one, Okay, please share with the class.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I think Raygun, the disgraced breakdancer from Australia, is going
to be a big one. Someone I would have never
thought of that. Yeah, she's going to be near the
top of the list.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
That's such a good one too, because it's so easy
to pull together.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's so easy. I can run Goodwill right now, I
can buy an old green track suit. I'll show up
looking like ray Gun to the part.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
That's crazy so good.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I know Man on the world stage too, it's so wild.
I think we're going to see a lot of pop
culture moments like that. Like I already know a couple
that wants to do Sabrina Carpenter and an alien.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Remember when she kissed the alien?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
So I think that's sort of in line of like
what you're saying with an Olympics moment, Yes, which I
really love, but I think it's so funny. I thought
we were going to see a lot of jokers in
Harley Quinn's but now that the movie's not doing as projected,
I don't know if we will. But the Penguin is
a big show on Max, and I could see a
lot of people dressing up as like Penguin and Alphaba
(16:46):
and Glinda for like those people that like to be
like ahead of the trend before Wicked comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's a heavy lift if you're gonna show up as Alphabum.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Though you're covering.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yourself in green paint, like I mean crops and one
who can do that?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Yeah, it's so true.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Do you think in terms of couple's costumes, what do
you think, Like, I think we're gonna see a lot
of Travis Kelsey Taylor school.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yes, Oh my god, it's like insane because all you
have to do is like throw on a red lip
and like put you know, your partner in a jersey.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
What do we think about Kylie Jenner and Timothy Shallowy costumes?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Is that gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's harder to pull off.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, And I also feel like they haven't been in
the ether as much. I don't know if it would
be like top of mind for people, but that would
be a sick costume. I feel like we're gonna see
a lot of groups of friends or families, especially like
little kids dress up as the emotions of Inside Out too.
It's the highest grossing animated movie of all time, like
over Frozen, and I remember when Frozen came out, they
(17:44):
were so many like Elsa's everywhere, you know.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
So I think we're gonna see a lot of Inside
Out too.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Okay, do you want to know what the predictions are?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Okay, First up, beetlejuice. Lots and lots of beetle juice.
Have you seen the beetle juice lip trend? No, that's
the beetlejuice lip About that?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Is it like wearing a black lip or like putting
white powder over it?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, there's like a lipstain that's like deep purple that
people put on and then when you peel it off,
it becomes like a pretty rose color and it's more
of like a new let's sick.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, so you want to look like a demon who's
been living underground for hundreds of thousands of years exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
The other ones were pop icons like Taylor Swift now
as you weren't so far off, Ariana Grande but maybe
not wicked.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Just Ariana as a just Ariana. Yeah, that's a good one.
That's an easy one. Caddier's Ponytail.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yep, I went as Ariana one year.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Lady Gaga or Beyonce. I wonder if people are going
to do Beyonce from the Renaissance tour like all Silver.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I actually think what we're going to see are a
lot of cowgirls and cowboys this year because with her
Cowboy Carter album, Western just Aesthetic was everywhere showing up
on like fashion runaways and just in regular you know,
department stores like Zara.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, hot tip for anybody who is near southern California.
You know those sketchy like souvenir stores on Hollywood Boulevard,
They actually have great chrome cowboy out.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Why are you?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I love those wait, I love those stories. I shot
from them regularly.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Thank you NAS gift on our first day from one
of those stories.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I haven't oh, I want to get a gift for
someone there, but I love going onto like my Wou'd
you get her?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It was a fake Oscar that said like best coworkers.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
That's so sweet?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
This list also says Bridgerton inside out to Wicked Harley
Quinn and the joke are Deadpool and Wolverine and even Minions,
which is interesting.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
That's kind of making a comeback. Do you guys know
what you're going to be?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I always like to dip into like nostalgia, and I
feel like a lot of movies that we liked growing
up were coming back and I've actually so. Death Becomes
Her is a movie that I love, starring Goldie Han,
Meryl Streep and Bruce Willis and Sabrina Carpenter and her
music video Taste of Ripped Off. Death Becomes Her with
Jenna or Tega, So I could see a lot of
people playing Meryl and Goldie Hans's character from Death Becomes Her.
(20:07):
If you haven't seen it, look up the movie poster.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
It's iconic.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
But there's a woman in that movie who has like
the Stay Young potion, and I want to be her character,
but I don't know if I'm to be able to
pull it off.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
I'm upsets with Halloween. I love like planning weeks in it.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Do you go all out?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Nas I do?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I do?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
When I have like good disposable income, I do.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
So if I don't dress up, you know, I'm not
doing that well because it's expensive.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
It is, and yeah, in I don't know, I have
a hard time spending money on Halloween. It's one night,
Like I would I would much rather take myself on
a staycation, vacation, spa day something. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I you have to go young kids, so I feel
like it's about them at this point too.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
It is, yeah, which gets me off the hook, which
is kind of nice.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah, and it's kind of more fun that kids Halloween.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
See.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, living Halloween through the lens of a child, there's
like no greater feeling like walking around and then being
someone else.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
You know, the absolute opposite.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Now, as I cannot plan for Halloween, I never know
what I'm doing until like the morning of Halloween, and
so really my costume has to exist in my closet,
like I'll just cullo something together.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I was thinking this year coyote ugly is easy.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I have leather pants, I have like a tea that's
a rock and roll.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, no, that's great because I'm telling you, I think
sexy cowgirl in that stun. Yeah, there, you're a Western style.
I think that's you're like right on point.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
When I was growing up, my mom always went all
out for Halloween, and I remember I had the best
memories and she would come to school dressed up like
in crazy outfits. And one year my dad was a
dentist and so she came as the tooth Fairy and
it was so cute.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's so cute.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No, I think you got to go all out for
your kids, Simone.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
That's so cute.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Now, should we decide on a costume for Simone this year?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
What are they really into?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I don't see it. That's the thing. They would want
me to be a minion?
Speaker 4 (21:59):
If anything, it's someone's like, I'm not trying to be
a minion. I think I like more classic costumes, like which.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You know, or which is always good?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Like, or like going as a vegetable you know, and
you're like a family of veggies like I love.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I think those are the ones that bring me the
most joy.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I'll tell you the costume that I aspire to be
if I can actually like press ad to cart on
Amazon would be a clover from Bring it On.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh that's you can't do that on Amazon.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, if I, if I, if I convince myself to
spend the money on it, I would be do.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
A bright side costume and I'll be the what's the
other team?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, I forget the one that appropriated the clovers. Yeah,
the choreography.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I'll be the bad guy.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
No, you know who you could be. You could be
Eliza Love She's the gymnast. She's like the bad girl
gymnast from the other school. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
She had the twist favorite and like the two twists
in the front, which I thought was so cool.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I tried to do that.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
After that movie. I like tried to convince my mom
that I needed to like bees wax my hair into
like folo.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I love it. I wait, someone you should do it
because you can totally return the costume.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
See, yeah, this is the kind of advice that I need.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I also think Gabrielle Union should do it and like
the Internet will break.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Last thing I'll say about Bringing On, because I could
talk about this for hours, but there was this really
cute clip of Kirsen Duns at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery
where they screen a lot of old movies, and she
was watching it and then reciting the words. She still
knew all the words to the cheers, and it was
it was so cute.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I love it is so cute.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
We need to take a quick break, but we'll be
right back to popping off with nas Perez. And we're
back with nas Perez. Okay, y'all. From Costumes to Fashion.
Just this week, Vogue announced the first details about the
(24:04):
twenty twenty five met Gala. Coleman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Asap,
Rocky Farrell Williams, and Anna Wintor of course, will serve
as co chairs. And the theme this year is super
Fine Tailoring Black Style, So Vogue says, this exhibition will
focus on black dandyism, and we'll examine the quote importance
(24:25):
of clothing and style to the formation of black identities.
And this is actually kind of a big deal because
this will actually be the first Costume Institute exhibition in
more than twenty years that's dedicated exclusively to men'swear, and
the first time the exhibition will focus only on work
from designers of color. I know Danielle and I had
(24:49):
some instant reactions to this in the studio yesterday when
we found out about this. Nas what's your reaction to
next year's Met Galla theme?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
My reaction was perfectly just like emulated in the way
that you said, super fine, Like it was just so
I was like, what, Wow, Like, good on Met Gala
for getting us all interested again, especially after last year.
I feel like the public spectator is this younger generation
gen Z isn't so much as into this sort of
like you know, the biggest site in fashion.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
So to me, I was like, wow, this is so sick.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
And also just to see how like women in general,
like we've all been rocking men's wear for so long. Yeah,
so I think this is like a perfect way to
celebrate that. I also wanted to just say that Lebron
James is also an honorary chair, so it's so sick
to have Lebron Oldest, one of the best obviously athletes
in the MPa.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Him being a co chair.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
And what I love most about this was the fact
that all the co chairs are actually into fashion, you
know how in past years it's been like Chris Hemsworth,
the Ryan Reynolds and I'm like, oh, now we have
Farwell Williams, who's the creative director of men'swear at Louis Vauton.
Coleman Domingo is like one of the best dress men
in Hollywood and like really prove that on the press
tour during award season last year with Rustin and the
(26:07):
color purple. And they have Lewis Hamilton who talk about
like this being the first time that we're solely focusing
on black designers. Lewis Hamilton in twenty twenty one actually
paid the tickets are expensive for the Mecala. He paid
for like three or more young black designers just to attend.
And he's a race car driver and he has a
(26:27):
line with Tommy Hill. Figure he got an entire table.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, there was a lack of representation and he saw
it and so he bought a whole table out and
it kind of changed the game for the Metcala.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Yeah, like so sick, right, And so for these people
to be honored in this way, like for the co
chairs to actually be involved in fashion and like love
black designers, I think is just going to take the
Mecala like to the next level. And then of course
there's Asap Rocky, who we all know is like the
king of fashion married to the Queen of Fashion, and
(26:57):
like having covered the Met for a couple years now,
they always show up really late, Like you know how
we always see Rihanna come last. What I think the
big question going into Met Gala next year is like,
is Rihanna going to show up on time with Asap first?
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Because when you're a coach.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Cherry, you have to show up first, Yeah, you know,
to sort of honor him and it being sort of
his moment this year, which I think is really cool.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Here's my question.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I don't know what dandyism is, so I googled it
and it says a synonym for dandyism is foppishness, which
also doesn't help me.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
What is foppishness? Okay, I'm glad you brought this up, Danielle,
because I think we do need to clarify the term dandy.
I also didn't really understand what this term meant. Just
reading from the Met Museum website, it says historically the
term dandy was used to describe someone, often a man
who's extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline.
(27:49):
So dandyism offered black people an opportunity to use clothing, gesture, irony,
and wit to transform their given identities and imagine new
ways of embodying political and social possibilities. And then when
you think of modern day examples of a dandy, people
like Prince come to mind with his really ostentatious ruffles
(28:09):
and velvet. Andre three thousand during his hip hop peak
era with the dapper hats and the bold signature glasses
and super colorful fits. Also Andre Leon Tally with his
you know, custom floor length calf dans. So I think
this will be a really cool opportunity to inform a
(28:30):
lot of fashion lovers about the history of black men's wear.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
In addition, there's a big emphasis on gender fluidity and
androgynous beauty in dandyism. Yeah, and I think fashion has
been like segueing towards androgyny anyways, And so I'm actually
excited to see the looks, Like what are they going
to bring out?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I can't wait to see what everyone wears. Okay, from
the megala to nineties and two thousands. Nostalgia, Oh my
favorite topic. It's obviously been a huge trend these past
few years, right and a lot of brands are trying
to make a comeback by appealing to that nostalgia demographic.
And one of those brands that's trying to make a
(29:12):
comeback is the Limited Too. Do y'all remember limited To?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah? Limited To had my entire young tween years in
a choke hold.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Remember that and all the Delias bbies, like all the
pacsn Yeah, like shop. Limited To is like right across
from Pacsan at the book ratone mall where I grew up.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
But that's like, immediately what I remember.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
We're gonna have to talk offline about South Florida because
I'm from Miami.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Oh my god, yay, I would love that.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, I remember I adored this one limited To Tankini
that I yes, bring back the Tankini. Millennials want the
Tankini totally.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well, limited To is officially making a comeback, and this
time for adults. So get ready y'all. The limited To
Adult collection is coming this spring. In a post announced
on Instagram, the brand said the line is a quote
tribute to our cherished ogs that have supported us all along,
not limited to trying to use our modern day slang.
(30:14):
That's so funny to me.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I think it's really cringe.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Like Limited to coming back is very cringe to me personally,
because they're gonna come out with a holiday capsule collection,
which is technically a preview to that collection that you
just mentioned will come out next year. And they posted
this like black quilted bomber jacket, and it just to
me looks like a free jacket you would get after
working on a production like in La you know, like
(30:39):
here's your show jacket.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
And it was just not it for me.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
So I'm gonna have to wait and see what they're
actually going to roll out to weigh in, because based
off that jacket, I'm not I'm a little cringed out.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I agree. Maybe it hasn't aged, well, maybe it hasn't
aged with us, but if they bring that that Tankini,
if they bring back a Tankini, then I'm in.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I just hope if they do this right. They got
to do it right. They can't let us down. I
just remember having such fond memories. It was like Abercrombie
before Abercrombie, I think Limited two walks, so Abercrombie could run.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Like we were wearing that before you could graduate.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yes, like I think we bought like underwear. It limited To.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
We bought like chokers, and then you could go anywhere
a teen, you could go to Ambercrombie.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
That's so funny.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
I was more a Victoria's Secret Pink girl over limited To.
So think like sweatpants folded down ten times.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Did you ever wear Juicy tracksuits?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I have one in my closet right now. Juicy made
a comeback recently.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
The way I begged my parents for a Juicy tracksuit.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
That belore they were and the key.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Chains they were so expensive it was like wearing a
towel totally.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, okay, I feel like the best thing that limited
To could do here is higher a Y two k
era celebri to kind of steer or even like a
fashion icon to kind of steer and guide this collection.
Similarly to how Gap has brought on Zach Posen to
take over creative efforts there, I think that would be
the best thing to do so that they don't understand
(32:15):
right about that, or at.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Least use someone in marketing, Like if I saw Dua
Liba wearing something from the limited To line, I'd probably
be like, okay, let me let me take a second
look at this.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Maybe I can actually rock.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
This one hundred percent. Yeah, yeah, agreed.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Okay, So Naz, you're not wearing it, Simone, you're a
maybe maybe.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, I'll see what they have. Yeah, I'm a maybe.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah, I'm a maybe too. But I'm leaning towards yes.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I'm honest, I'm leaning towards us. To be honest, it's
a yes for me. I have been really tempted to
buy a Von Dutch hat though, you guys I loved those.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I want to bring that, don't do it.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
I would rock the one thing I would rock from
Why two K Now like I wouldn't rock at Hardy.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
I don't think i'd rock Von Dutch, but i'd rock
true Religion.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, that's like a deep.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Indigo, make your butt really perky, low rise true Religion
with long bell bottoms and shoes.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
I would rock that.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
That's a good call.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, that's a Verac.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Well, the low rise is back. It's now the new
Jean style. It's our nightmare come true. It's true. The
men are gonna love it, the women not so much.
The men have been begging for this comeback forever. What
would you guys wear like from those days.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean I still wear Abercrombie jeans sometimes.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Really a lot of people love them.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, they make great jeans. I don't tell anyone, but
now I have.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Yay came out.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah you know.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
I'm actually not a big nostalgia girl. I kind of
like to keep it pushing. I'm I'm happy in the
twenty twenty four is. I like the styles better, I
like the cuts. They're better for me. I remember I
was always kind of like a curvy girl, and I
remember being pissed at fashion growing up because it was
never made for my boss. I always felt uncomfortable, and
(34:02):
I really think it's changed, Like bathing suits fit me.
Everything fits better now. So I'm happy in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
I'm going to keep living in the past.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
You guys, Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
It's good for you.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's the beauty of twenty twenty four is everyone gets
to choose.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
That's feminism people.
Speaker 1 (34:18):

to share what's in our cart this week. We're back,
all right, simone. It's Friday, so let's get ready for
the weekend with What's in Your Cart, presented by Walmart.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Welcome to your Walmart.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
This is our weekly segment where we have the opportunity
to share a product that we're loving right now.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
This time of year is so much fun, Danielle, mostly
because I get to see my boys get so excited
for Halloween. Like they are obsessed with Halloween right now.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
That's so cute. Do they know what they want to be?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Oh? Yeah, We've got a Jack Skellington and a Jedi
in the house. We've tried on their costumes. It's so adorable.
But here's the thing. I got to admit, I feel
so overwhelmed by the pressure to decorate for Halloween. It's
become a whole thing in recent years.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
What do you mean a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I was going for a walk in our neighborhood with
my boys, and I just noticed that so many houses
have these elaborate Halloween decorations in the yard, and my
boys are begging me to get some. I mean, I'm
used to decorating for winter holidays that I kind of
know how to do, but I haven't really gotten into
Halloween yet. I don't really know where to start.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Are you going to lean in this year?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
I honestly feel like I have to. The demand has
reached a fever pitch in my house, and I, you
know what, I can't resist creating a little holiday magic
for my kids. So I went to Walmart and I
got a giant sixteen foot spider web. It's epic sixteen feet. Yes,
you can go indoor outdoor. It's truly like the perfect
(36:16):
Halloween decoration. And my kids are so stoked. I think
they're thinking, like, oh, we might actually be one of
the coolest decorated houses on the block.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Now I feel like, you guys can have a haunted house.
You're such a cool mom.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Well, you know what, We're gonna start small, maybe haunted
house next year.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Okay, Bestie's that's it for today's show.
