(00:10):
Hello and welcome to Saran Things, a podcast for women who
like their reality TV trashy, their takes hot and their brains
activated. I am your host, Saran Al Kaba.
How do you guys diddly do how I've missed you?
I know it's been, I guess it's been two weeks since the last
time I spoke at you for an hour.I apologize for the last minute
(00:32):
scrapping of last week's episode.
You guys know that my dad is dealing with some health issues.
He had to have surgery. There was some infections, fluid
in his lungs. It's just the case of aging
parents and a role reversal where we have, to, me and my
sisters have to be his advocatesand make sure that everybody is
(00:55):
on their toes and he's getting the kind of treatment that he
needs. And but we're just like
mitigating any issues or pain that he might experience.
So that being said, I am now back and better than ever and I
don't want to spend a lot of time dwelling on hospitals and
surgeries and cardiovascular units and blah, blah, blah.
(01:19):
No, what I want to talk about today, we're in for a good show.
OK, first of all, Paige de Sorbaz, Daphne line.
I know it came out what like 2 weeks ago?
I wanted to talk about it last week, but I think it still
deserves mentioning now. Oh, I saw the call her Alex
documentary on Hulu. And then of course we have to
(01:42):
talk about Love Island. They just got to Casa more so
that's going to be fun. They're switching it up this
year and I think they're it's going to be everyone living in
the same house. Like they recouple with the
hotties and instead of having a boys villa and a girls villa
they all just stay in one villa together.
(02:02):
It sounds awkward to me but can't wait to see how that works
out for people. I am all the way caught up
honestly. It's so fucking hot outside it
is almost 100°. It's was the perfect time for me
to just trap myself in the air conditioning and get through a
bunch of episodes. And I'm not going to lie to you,
(02:22):
I did watch one through 3 and then I fell off and then we got
to day 15 and I asked you guys where should I start?
Because if I'm not going from 4 to 15 and I was told start at 9.
Some people said 12, but most people said start at 9:00, so I
did. Speaking of hotties and it being
(02:43):
a hot, I'm right now like waiting for a drunken noodle
order. You want to have something
demented about me? I when I order drunken noodles,
when I order Thai I 90% of the time I get drunken noodles and
they're delicious. Generally it's a seafood drunken
(03:03):
noodle and it's a dish that's supposed to be very fucking
spicy spicy. And if they give you a ranking
it's like 1-2 like 5 extreme spicy, spicy, like a bunch of
chili pepper blah blah blah. I am always going for the
spiciest version and I have gotten to a place where if I
(03:25):
can't be certain that you're spiced, your most extreme
heavy-handed spicing is not. I want it barely edible.
You know what I'm saying? So I call them because I or make
the order over DoorDash. So the order goes through
whatever I've had. When I call them, I'm like, hey,
(03:47):
you see this order? I, I want drunken noodles from
hell. I want to feel the fire, I want
my sinuses to be cleared and that's just part of the fun for
me. So yeah, I'm waiting for my
dragon noodles to come. Honestly, this place is not that
far away. It's less than a mile and I
would usually walk my happy ass over there.
(04:07):
But like I said, it is 1,000,000in fucking 1° right now and so
actually this might make me seemwhatever.
So I'm scrolling on TikTok as one does and I come across this
video of a woman like laying in her bed and she's saying it's
(04:28):
going to be hotter than it ever has.
And don't be selfish and run your AC at 65.
It doesn't matter how cold you set it to, you're just your
house will only cool down 10 to 15%.
So it's just like a waste of energy.
And we might have a grid like out and blah, blah, blah and
(04:48):
just make. And then she told people to set
their AC till 70 something. She tried to boss us around
about what we could set our temperature to.
And I know there's a valid argument in there somewhere.
There is for sure. Energy, carbon emissions, all of
(05:08):
that stuff for sure, but it justdidn't feel like the right time.
The execution wasn't great. And what do you mean no matter
what, it'd only get 10 to 15° colder in your apartment or in
your home? Tell that to my crisp 68° that I
can see right now. OK, And guess what?
(05:29):
It is staying right here. What do you mean we're going to
get a brown out this downtown Washington, DC, not Chechnya.
What do you mean? And Hazel?
I am enjoying my temperature controlled environments for
surezies. I still have to fucking get my
(05:50):
summer clothes out from where I'm storing them.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I've just been so fucking lazy and I and I've been preoccupied
with work and like my dad and stuff whatever.
So I'm like basically rotating through 7 summer pieces like a
onesie and a couple of skirts and some shorts and the tank
(06:13):
tops that I have out year round.And he was all limited outfit
choices. And it's also a hot as fuck.
So I'm not going to be wearing very many clothes when I am out
in these streets. And I would I generally go and
get coffee in the morning with my dog, with Henry, my little
Angel. It varies where I go and he I
(06:37):
literally just short circuited thinking about this.
I was wearing just like this cute little tennis rap skirt.
I got it from the TikTok shop. It's so fucking cute and it's it
is scantily clad making, but it's fucking summertime.
Any who's all I'm just beboppingaround.
I generally walk around with headphones on because I don't
(06:59):
want to talk to anyone other than you guys.
If you see me out in the streets, you must say something.
OK, you have to because we are friends.
But what if it's just like a stranger?
I don't want to engage. I don't want to talk to you
about anything. I don't want to hear about your
church when I don't. I already give money to
(07:21):
charities and I'm not signing a petition.
Leave me alone. So I find having my headphones
on gives me the right amount of plausible deniability where I
could just look pleasantly detached and it just and sneak
away and people will just assumethat I didn't hear them.
Although I do obviously hear you.
(07:41):
I'm not walking around in the streets with noise cancellation
on. It's in like, what is that?
It's in you can hear other shit mode.
So I'm be bopping around, I'm walking down the streets, I I'm
not paying attention to anythingbut my dog and the street ahead
of me and crossing the street safely.
(08:03):
And in like my, the corner of myeye, I look behind me and I see
there's a, a lady who just looksa little distressed, but she's
already all the way across the street and it's none of my
motherfucking business. So I move on, go on my merry way
and I cross to the other side ofthe street and I hear someone
chasing after me. And she said excuse me Susie and
(08:25):
she and I take off my like headphones and she tells me that
a man was following me masturbating like Leech in the
street walking behind me while Iam completely oblivious like
just jerking off. I literally I hope my mom
(08:46):
doesn't hear this because she will come get me right now.
I was speechless. I think the woman I was thank
you for letting me know. That's thank you.
I really do appreciate that. I think that although there was
absolutely nothing either of us could do, it's not like anyone's
going back to that man and be and saying don't touch your Dick
(09:06):
out in public. All obviously he shouldn't be.
The moment had passed, and even if I'd noticed in real time, I
wouldn't have done anything other than scoop up Henry and
run away. Sprint.
I'm Ethiopian, OK? These legs are made for fucking
sprinting. I can get away fast.
My survival instinct is incredible.
(09:28):
So yeah, that was absolutely fun.
That's been that's what you missed.
I was on the Taylor Starker showtoday.
The episode should be coming outtomorrow.
It was lovely. If you guys don't already
listen, you absolutely should. She's hilarious.
She used to have a show on causeon SiriusXM called Wake Up with
(09:49):
Taylor with Cosmo Radio. And she's just hilarious.
Shocks pop culture. She her life is incredible and
mazel tov to her and her wife Taylor and Taylor for their
pregnancy. How exciting.
Oh my goodness, it's so crazy. I was so close to this whole
(10:15):
different life where having children in the short term did,
it didn't seem so insane, so wild, so unrealistic.
And now I'm in the season of my life where, yeah, like I'm
single. But I even if I was with someone
right now, there is no universe in which I'm ready to have a
(10:38):
child. And there is no none.
There is not one universe where I should be pregnant or have a
baby right now. And I know it's crazy in your
biological clock and you're 34. Fuck my biological clock OK?
My goal in life is to be happy, OK?
It's to 'cause this little harm in the world while just enjoying
(11:02):
my day today. I said this before, I'm sure I
fear what my life might look like if something changes.
Like I have never been this happy before.
So I have no interest in pursuing any anyone that could
negatively impact that. And like I think there's also
(11:25):
God bless my ex but he was a very judge, mental.
And I being alone and having my space to myself and being able
to live unobserved, not judged, not having to live up to
anyone's expectations. Not always having to wonder how
someone is interpreting things and whether it's up to their
(11:46):
standards. It's fraying and it's liberating
and it's the way it is supposed to be. 100% yeah.
Not in a place where I'm going to be having a kid soon, but I'm
thrilled for all of my friends who are truly.
I'm like, this is this like discourse online and about child
(12:07):
free women? And they get a lot of hate when
they talk about being child freeonline and the assumption is you
hate children. Children are the future.
Children are the world. And that's not like the case.
I'm I don't want to be child free forever.
But like even women who don't want to have their own children,
most of them like kids. They just know they don't want
(12:31):
to raise any of their own. But that is that on that.
Let's move on to things that pop.
We have a lot to discuss. So Paige Dasorbo has launched
her new sleepwear line. It's called Daphne after her
adorable, beautiful. Actually, she's not a she's a
stunning ragdoll kitten or cat. I think it's been a year a cat
(12:55):
and she's ruffled some feathers.I am a page apologist.
OK, I haven't had anything to apologize for, but in theory, I
I'm Team Paige. I don't understand why people
are so pissed about these garments.
It everyone is so mad about themcosting like it's $125 or up to
(13:20):
$200 for a set. And The thing is, they sold out
and everyone will say, oh, yeah,it was her first drop.
So that was very limited. They do limited drops so they
don't get too much inventory that they can't sell so they can
figure out how much they need. Yeah, OK, that's fine.
(13:42):
It's still good that it sold out.
No. What is the metric for success
here? Because, OK, she dropped the
line. She did have a lot of critics
saying, Oh my God, how much? Why does this cost so much
fucking money? If these are Jim jams, I would
never spend this much on Jim jams.
You don't have to, but someone will.
And we know that someone will because her initial drop sold
(14:07):
out and we know that the initialdrop is limited quantities.
So by the transitive value, I think like ultimately it will be
future drops that really solidify whether or not like the
brand is successful or not. But still, I think people will
(14:29):
still try and find a way to hate.
And I think there's a lot of valid criticism about the size
ranges not being inclusive. I that's a valid criticism.
And I, I saw someone make the argument that like, why does
every brand have to make clothesfor everybody?
And she said something like, oh,I'm tall in this brand.
(14:51):
Their pants are far too short for me.
So I've never been able to purchase pants from this brand.
And yeah, of course that's different.
Of course the height and weight are treated very differently in
this world. OK, while you can go to another
(15:13):
store and very easily find like great pants that look great on
your like whatever your small frame, you could go somewhere
else and do it. Fashions that that are like of
the times that aren't just like frontal lumps, the options for
bigger girls, people in bigger bodies, they're very limited.
(15:37):
And unless there is an actual like concerted effort made to
include them in fashion, are we saying that they just like
simply do not belong and that's unacceptable.
Any Hazel, some really sweet girl left a comment like, oh, I
was disappointed that she didn'thave my size.
And I know she says that they'regoing to expand the line the
(16:01):
size range for their next drop, but even if she doesn't like I
still love her and support her. And I was like no wait pause,
fuck that. If she made a commitment.
She said that on the next drop they are going to be expanding
their sizes and if she doesn't you have.
Everybody has a right to be pissed off about that.
It is OK to hold people to standards and their word.
(16:23):
So we shall see. Did I purchase a pair?
No, because those bitches were gone immediately.
I did not stand a chance. But you bet your bottom dollar
when the second time, when they drop their second whatever, I
will be right there and you willcatch me lounging about my home
in their 100% cotton like those pants, those palazzo pants.
(16:48):
I want them and the tie side tank top like you guys have seen
that also about Daphne, this girl, I think it's called CV
pajama. She accused her of plagiarism
and by plagiarism she's saying that I have a sleepwear
(17:11):
loungewear brand too. And in my about me, in my brand
like ethos, she markets herself as great to work from home, like
work from home wear. And she's saying that it's
really disappointing that Paige used the terms like something
(17:34):
about good for working from homeor like cute for the work from
home girlies too. She's saying that she stole that
from her. And the comments are batshit
fucking crazy. They're like call a lawyer,
girl, you got a lawyer up. You know you're going to own
that company. You're going to own Daphne.
What? Unless she's trademarked Work
(17:58):
from home style and has made it so that nobody else can use that
language ever, then what case doyou have?
And I honestly don't believe, I don't think that this was a
sincere grievance. I think that she wanted to take
this opportunity to bolster her brand, her name, by associating
it with something that was getting a lot of press at the
(18:19):
time. And I think she succeeded.
She was, regardless, she was going to succeed because she was
saying something negative about something negative and very
salacious about a brand that's associated with someone who
people have a lot of feelings about.
So I get the strategy. Do I think it's like icky?
Yeah, obviously. But no, I really obviously Paige
(18:41):
Dsorbo did not steal that woman's idea.
You can describe outfits as workfrom home wear without
infringing on someone else's IP.It's just so silly.
And that is Aunt Paige's Sorbo'sbrand reception.
(19:02):
I will let you know when the next drop is.
We'll chat about that. You'll see me in my new fits, I
swear. Oh, next we're talking about
Call Her Alex. I watched Call Her Alex and I
took notes. I did not.
I didn't walk into watching it committed.
If I'm not into it in the 1st 20minutes then I'm down with
(19:25):
calling it quits but I was engrossed.
OK first and foremost watching her relationship with her
husband is so lovely. You can tell.
Like he is really hype about hercareer but not in a creepy way
where he's wanting to interject himself in it into it or like
(19:46):
being overbearing. He just seems to actually see
her and actually I want to bringher vision to life rather than
hijacking the whole situation. They actually seem to enjoy each
other's company as well. I don't know if I was surprised
at the nature of their relationship but I was very
pleased. He gives very wholesome Labrador
(20:07):
retriever golden retriever vibesAnd I don't know of course I
hope that they may get her life story was like.
Middle class or upper middle class, I don't know.
They didn't really focus on her upbringing or like the her, the
socioeconomics of her life, but they did talk a lot about her
(20:29):
always wanting to be in front ofa camera.
And it's just so incredible whatshe's built.
And whatever you feel about AlexCooper, her footprint on
podcasting and the audio media space is undeniable and it's
impressive. And this is something that they
(20:52):
really harped on is her ability to weather storms.
And when the call her daddy break up with Sophia happened,
the brand was solidly sex. The glug glug 3000, whatever it
was, just it was sex. It was all sex all the time.
And she couldn't maintain that it wasn't her.
(21:15):
There was more to her and she successfully pivoted to like
long form interviews of substance and people still
listen. And her second podcast deal with
Sirius was worth over double herfirst one with Spotify.
She's, she's a, a revolutionary in this field and it's just
(21:38):
great to see a woman doing it. And she seems just like lovely
too. The Sofia breakup was just a
blip on the radar. They barely touched upon it and
they just gave the elevator pitch version of it, let it go.
It was more so about her coach and it's disgusting.
(22:00):
She was taken advantage of. She was, it's not extorted,
exploited. She was harassed and by like a
trusted figure that held her future, she thought at least in
the palm of her hands. And I'm sure I can't imagine how
powerless she felt and stuck andcreeped out, Especially when
(22:24):
this person is so beloved by thecommunity and the team and the
whatnot. To have a different experience
with someone and know that you're not going to get any kind
of like validation from your peers.
It must be like so fucking isolating.
I urge you to watch it. Recently, almost 100 former
(22:49):
soccer players of at the the Alumni Soccer Association wrote
an open letter supporting the coach.
Whatever her fucking Nancy. I don't know.
And I just want to say that's depraved.
How stupid can you be to think that just because you had a
(23:09):
positive experience with someonethat someone that they're
incapable of behaving any differently with anyone else?
That is absolutely fucking batshit crazy in There is no way
that you know this coach intimately enough to be able to
make the judgement of whether ornot Alex Cooper is telling the
truth. And obviously she's telling the
(23:30):
fucking truth. Her mother literally documented
everything as a motherfucking dies and he is old.
A shame on you. Shame on you little soccer
weirdos. You should be embarrassed of
yourself. You're not good people, you are
not on the right side of this, and you're stupid, OK?
(23:54):
You're dumb. Can you imagine putting your
name on a piece of paper saying we support this sexual harasser?
I literally cannot. It was 2 parts.
It's very good. I love the way it's paced.
You can tell she's really like appreciative and like she loves
what she does and she seems likea good gal.
(24:16):
Let's just hope no. If racist tweets haven't come
out now yet then I don't think they're coming out.
So I think I can safely just like her.
Oh, that's dark. Dark but true.
OK, 01 more thing though. OK Kamala Harris.
That interview was such a fucking big deal.
(24:36):
I could go on and on about how the left has needs to invest
more in individual like independent journalists and
people with their own platforms.And the way that the right has
it, the scale, the reach of someof these podcasters and
influencers is incredible and can do much more than ads.
(24:59):
If you know me, that's a that's not something that I say often.
Any who's all Kamala Harris anyway, does the call her daddy
and I cry. I wept.
That's the moment I wept. Just like there, just seeing the
time when there was hope. There was real hope, and it was
(25:19):
fucking ripped away from us. I swear to God, I swear I did
not. I was not able to see a picture
of Kamala Harris. I was not able to like, hear her
voice. I avoided her like an ex that
gave me chlamydia. I could not look at her without
feeling, not obviously, not anger without just, like,
wanting to cry without feeling, I don't know, bereft a ship
(25:47):
without a sail adrift. Yeah.
So I avoided her for quite some time and just, I don't know.
God, I wish she was the president right now, guys.
That's all I can say about that.That's literally the only thing
that I had to say about that. I wish that bitch was the
president. We need to invest in liberal
(26:08):
influencers and podcasters. I wish she was the president.
God. OK, moving on.
We're talking about the valley. OK?
Jax is out of what is it called again, Rehab.
And I don't know how much I believe his rehab bullshit.
(26:28):
OK? He always looks like he's
huddled in some fucking corner every time he, like, scream like
he does a FaceTime. Apparently they said in this
last episode that it's like the kind of rehab that lets him
leave for a couple hours a day. The fuck is that?
When I my last breakup I went toa facility.
(26:48):
I'm serious. I I literally locked myself away
at a bougie facility. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this
before and there is no amount ofbougie that will allow you to
leave. Like you're still locked down,
you're just locked down and somewhere very nice.
(27:09):
Especially like he was there fordrug related issues.
I went for there were people with like drug related issues
and like weight stuff and alcoholism and all that other
stuff. I was there for.
I was going to have a mental breakdown after my breakup and I
wasn't on like suicide alert watch or anything.
I just need knew I needed some time off and even that I was not
(27:30):
allowed to go anywhere by myselfperiod.
Full stop. That's just like part of the
agreement and I anyways so Jax is back.
He is just so disgusting. I cannot imagine ever finding
that man attractive. He is a bad person to his core
and I don't understand how Britney like how is she not
(27:56):
relieved that he's gone? In this last episode he finally
cleaned out all of his shit and she starts crying in the back
while when all of his stuff is gone and it's just at this point
how does she not have a restraining order against him?
The camera stuff is so fucking creepy and you can absolutely
tell he hasn't internalized anything.
(28:17):
It's still Brittany did this andBrittany did that and there it
takes 2. What the fuck did Brittany ever
do to you, you absolute weirdo? She stuck by your psycho side.
She never should have it. I said I wasn't gonna harp on
Brittany making her own bed, butI just got to fucking say like
(28:39):
she knew he was a bad person when she married him.
Maybe 10% of the time together he's been a decent person.
The other 90%, he's literally the spawn of Satan.
So her decision making skills concern me.
I'm really trying to give her grace.
I'm really trying to give her fucking grace.
(29:00):
But Oh my God. And when Jax said she's kicking
me out of her my house. What is a single woman with one
kid going to do with all of thishouse?
You can't take care of this. What the fuck are you talking
about you absolute Neanderthal. You've never been able to follow
through with or take care of anything on your own in your
life. You don't.
(29:20):
You are not living in reality. How dare you tell this woman who
has out earned you for so long, who has weathered all of your
storms, that she can't take careof this house on her own?
Are you fucking wait because youmowed the lawn?
OK, $100 a week? What is that on top of the
(29:42):
$18,000 she's now paying in her mortgage because you're deadbeat
broke dumbass refused to pay your bills and wanted to go into
foreclosure? Because if you were going to
have her and you were going to have your little fake white
picket fence, you would ruin herlife too 'cause she doesn't get
to be happy while you're all alone in your creepy little
(30:04):
bachelor den of iniquity next toTom Schwartz just being
disgusting. You are the dredges of society,
Jax. You're a bad person.
You shouldn't be on the show. You shouldn't be around people.
Frankly. Lock him up.
No, feel good. OK.
(30:26):
And on the docket next. Oh, am I done?
It was that. Is that it?
NIA and Danny. Danny and NIA, they're in a
condo. They already have three
children. I wonder if they've gotten a new
place yet or if the new baby, ifall four children and the
parents are in the condo still. I she's really against getting
(30:51):
getting a place out farther out in the valley like she wants to
be like in Hollywood. I don't know about what real
estate prices are, but I do knowthat like you need some more
space for a household of six people, four of which being
children, babies at the same time, the way this man out
(31:13):
kicked his coverage in this situation is truly incredible.
So I would recommend he just do what she says.
And now that I'm thinking about it, she did just have that baby.
So she got her 4th baby. She got her 4th baby.
And I'm sure he'll figure out a way to get her house in
Hollywood or like the hills or what what not.
(31:34):
Yeah, because it doesn't get it doesn't get better than that.
But for you, Danny, it doesn't. In terms of looks, obviously,
she is a gorgeous. She's stunning, beautiful,
perfection. And but she's also sweet as
fuck, too. She's like a sweet.
She's just a sweet, sensitive little lady.
And she's been through a lot. So I like her.
(31:55):
I like them together. I don't think that Danny has a
drinking problem. Was he an asshole at that event
at Jack's? Oh, Britt's night at Jack's?
Yeah, he was, but he wasn't likethey acted like he was doing
somersaults and body shots and like he was grabbing people's
asses again. He was butting into
conversations and being like a Dick.
(32:17):
You're going to sit at the same table with Danny and Jax and
you're going to spend your time lecturing Danny, telling him
that he's an alcoholic, the grace that Jax gets, the kid
clubs that he gets when he's doesn't give a fuck about
anyone. Truly he would sell them down
(32:39):
the river Styx any one of for I don't know for a puntini.
I don't like Jason being a part of the drama.
It just doesn't feel right. Guys.
It's it's like Mr. Rogers tryingto serve any who's all that's
that on the valley. I'm so excited to talk about
(33:00):
Love Island. So like I said earlier, I am
almost all caught up. I have to see 18.
I'm about to be finished with that, and first and foremost, we
have to discuss Huda. I was so prepared as someone who
had a week and a half lag where she wasn't watching the
(33:22):
episodes, but I was still seeingpeople commenting on what was
going on. And the way people were talking
about Huda's Huda's behavior, I was expecting her to have truly
violated someone, maybe put her hands on someone, stolen
something, maybe lied about something psychotic like crazy.
(33:42):
Like we found out she didn't have a kid.
She made-up a she made-up a random child as part of her
storyline. Or that her name wasn't actually
Huda. I don't know.
I didn't expect OK, Huda is toxic.
Her relationship with Jeremiah was a dumpster fire.
(34:03):
That conversation she had with him where he was just like
saying, Oh yeah, I mentioned like, whatever to Iris and she's
like, don't you ever talk about our relationship to anyone ever
again? That was terrifying.
What the fuck do you mean, bitch?
Also, you talk to everyone aboutyour feelings about everything.
(34:24):
Also, every conversation with Jeremiah is a conversation with
everyone because she's always yelling, right?
Yeah, she's a mess. And the correct course of action
in all of this was for her and Jeremiah to separate, because
there was no getting back on track after, after America split
(34:46):
them up and put Jeremiah with Iris and honestly called that
knew that was fucking coming because you, like America,
needed her to be away from him. Anyways, Who was here to come?
You guys went up there? Yeah.
Who got recoupled And he was up after that happened After
America assaulted her game, she was so in her head, she was
(35:10):
never going to get out of there.She convinced herself.
Like obviously the America has seen something that I didn't.
Obviously he must have done something that would make them
not want him to be with me. But do they not want me to be
with him? Oh, he must have done something
that I'm not saying. Like how could I ever trust him
after this? How could I ever trust him when
(35:32):
she has actually no idea the motivations of the people who
voted just losing her shit. And The thing is, when Jeremiah
didn't go to comfort her that night, that was fucked.
And I like that Nick called it out the next day.
But at the same time there is nothat's no excuse to behave like
(35:55):
a banshee. Scream, curse, call people a
bunch of unnecessary names. It's Ratchet.
OK, that being said, she's not evil.
Guys. I saw someone on Ted Talk say
the women who don't think that Hooda is that bad are 'cause
they're just like Hooda. They're real.
(36:17):
They pop off, they look like a phantom in the night.
As long as I'm laughing, guys walking around in dark,
ultimately waking up Ace just tosay they went to oh, it was
(36:38):
Charlie and Shelly, Charlie and Shelly and OK, wait, was it your
bitch? OK, we got to get back on track
here, she said. The women who say that Hooda
isn't that bad, she's not terrible.
Probably just like her unhinged fucking lunatics, terrible
people, just Tasmanian devils, bulls and China shops blah blah
(37:01):
blah. No, that's not true.
I think that Hooda is just a girly.
She's 24, she has a child that both impresses me and concerns
me. But I don't think she's like
irredeemably broken. I think that she just crashed
the fuck out. And was that good?
(37:24):
No. Did it make it very clear that
she has toxic behaviors that shereally needs to address before
she can actually be in a healthyrelationship?
Absolutely. But do I think she's a terrible
person? That she's a bad person that she
like doesn't feel remorse and that she's willing to like that
(37:47):
she doesn't have any integrity or whatever like what she did?
She should have talked to Hannahbefore she went and talked to
Pepe. But that being said, there's
nothing irredeemable about this woman.
And I'm saying this and I I guess I am unwell, but not that
kind of unwell. No, I have.
I would never, nor could I ever.I repel chaos.
(38:12):
OK, I am not Huda's type of chaos, but I also can see that
she's not terrible and I can empathize with her being maybe
not empathize, but sympathize with her being on a show feeling
very vulnerable. Very what's it called again,
exposed in a very unfamiliar circumstance.
And like she, I don't know, but the bitch's nervous system is
(38:36):
shot. I don't know, I don't know.
And she keeps taking these L's and it's I think it's it'll help
her ultimately. Like when TJ was like, let me be
straight with you. It ain't happened.
It's like, OK, good on you TJ for being just complete.
He said, I'm not going to leave any room for motherfucking
(38:57):
interpretation. Huda.
It ain't happened. And to be fair, thank God it was
time for Casa Amor because no man that was in that villa that
witnessed her behavior is is approaching that it's self
preservation at this point. Like you being, but now that
there is fresh blood, now that Casa Moore is here, I think that
(39:21):
the tides might turn for her, hopefully.
And also like when Jeremiah left, it was so sweet that she
was like, I'm so sorry. And she apologized for her
behavior. And I'm a sucker for someone who
can show remorse. I don't expect anyone to be
perfect ever. Like of course there are lines
(39:42):
that you can't uncross, but generally I really respect it
when someone can say I fucked up, I fucked up, I acted like a
psychopath and I'm very sorry without the expectation of
anybody for giving them. Like, you give the apology, you
walk away because even though the right thing to do is
(40:03):
apologize, expecting anything inreturn, even an acceptance of
that apology, just goes to show that you're not.
You haven't done the work, babe.But yeah, she told him like, I'm
sorry. I said her very tearful goodbye
and that I found very endearing.Sue me.
(40:24):
Who else? Shelley.
Shelley and Olandria. They were the first two in the
house, Mesmerized. They both look like little
fairies, little ethereal angels.I don't know.
There's dolls. They look like dolls.
Taylor is great. Nice little country boy Austin.
(40:46):
I can hear the air go through one ear and out the
motherfucking other guys. There is nothing going on up
here. There's nothing going on.
He voted what was it Charlie offwhat's and he was like damn, I
were. I wish I hadn't done that.
I guess my lot What? He's a daylight and he's a
(41:09):
dollar short. He is not a smart man, and
therefore I find him very unattractive.
Are any of them particularly smart?
No, I don't think that's the point of this though, guys, I
don't think that's the metric inwhich we should be focusing the
girls. Who else did I miss?
Huda s s nee. Oh, and Andriana.
(41:32):
Oh God, Andriana is my hall passfor life.
I'm not a lesbian. I'm mesmerized by that bitch.
Her body, her skin, her hair, her accent.
I am like giddy, like Nick. When she's talking.
I'm like Nick, call me Ferrok, call me Nick.
She's so fucking cute and she's very sexy.
(41:53):
Her body, that's a body. Adi, adi, adi adi.
That's what Megan was talking about.
God damn, huh? And she's just like, funny and
delightful. And she's for sure the reason
why Jeremiah went home. I made a sick talk about this.
But like his what was like the fucking nail in his coffin was
him making out with Andriana in plain sight in view of all of
(42:18):
the boys. Because Nick and Ace were like,
motherfucker, see the wheels turning in their heads.
They said, we got to get this bitch out of here.
And it's the man couldn't do anything right.
He spent the first two weeks with the hood up.
You're not exploring, you're notdoing what you need to do.
He starts to explore and they decide after she's been here for
two days, she likes him too. That's why they were spending
(42:41):
time with each other. It only been a couple of days.
What is he going to say? No, I don't want to hang up,
obviously. So they had to get him the fuck
up out of there. They would have said anything to
get them, get him out of there. It's just such bullshit.
And what, Ace is 22 motherfucking years old?
(43:01):
22, And they're listening to himlike he has got the king the
keys to the Kingdom, like he hasit all figured out.
Like he knows exactly what's supposed to happen in Love
Island and how all of them are supposed to behave and the
timelines that are appropriate. What the fuck are you talking
about, Sir? You are a child.
Oh my. You were born in 2003.
(43:25):
You were born in 2003. Stop, stop bossing people
around. And they're all, but they're
taking it, they're doing it. And Nick was the people's
Princess for a while. And I do appreciate that he
tried to balance like sticking up for Huda and also giving
(43:48):
Jeremiah a like good advice. I liked that he showed some kind
of like consistency in his integrity, regardless of who he
was just talking to. I like that with his
relationship with Sierra, I was so sad for her.
Literally the day after you guysbone, you're going to tell her
I'm just like, I don't go out ofyour way to tell her that you
(44:09):
have no interest in closing things off.
And the obviously Andriana's presence has a lot to do with
that. And I love the way that Sierra
handed it, handled it. She pulled away like she needed
to and she said herself, like, Iwanted you to feel like what it
would be like to not have me nothave my back scratches.
(44:30):
Yikes. I'm sorry.
It's just like that kind of intimacy after knowing someone
for 10 days. Oh, it makes me want to sweat
just like even thinking about it.
Anyways, I just think she's sucha sweetheart.
She seems to have a fantastic head on her shoulders.
She's beautiful and she's like the one person there.
(44:51):
You should probably get advice from you.
You'll be good talking to Iris. Iris is.
I don't know anything about Iris.
Iris is blunt and from California and that's all I have
on her. Who else am I forgetting?
I think that's it. Ariana.
Ariana Maddox. She's so beautiful.
She's having such a good time. I am blown the fuck away by her,
(45:16):
and not just because she's stunning, gorgeous perfection,
but like the Joie de Veve she brings to the show.
She really ties this shit together and I'm sure we could
pull the ratings right now. She comes in season 4 and five.
The shit skyrockets like she is the common denominator and she
(45:39):
is a big part of this show success.
People TuneIn because they enjoyher.
She's a star. She was made to do this.
She has the flair, the artist, like she's putting on a show and
it's really lovely. And also this is actually
something important. On the after show, they were
talking about what do you want the fans to know?
And she made a point to say thisis supposed to be fun and
(46:01):
entertainment. I know you guys have big
feelings and we love you, the fans.
We wouldn't be anything without the fans, blah, blah, blah.
But this is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be
entertainment. And you should not be berating
people, daxing people, threatening people because of a
reality TV show where they just make out all the time.
OK. And she said you still have time
(46:22):
to delete all the shit that you commented and sent and posted.
That is going to inevitably really hurt these kids when
they're when they're out of the villa.
And like, part of me is people are allowed to have their
opinions. You know what you're signing up
for when you put yourself on a show like Love Island with such
like a rabid, intense fanbase. But I can't help but think about
(46:47):
Love Island UK. And there has been a lot of
darkness around, like contestants and even the host, I
can't recall what her name was, but I believe one of the hosts
of the Love Island UK actually did commit suicide.
And I think a couple of cast members, I'm not sure, don't
quote me, but there has been a lot of strife, a lot of
(47:08):
emotional tumult on on the otherside of the pond there.
The Daily Mail UK, I've, I'm pretty sure I read an article
about them providing like even more mental health assistance on
set. And I think that's incredibly
important. But what happens when you leave?
You don't get that. You don't have that support
system and you're just like inundated with all of these
(47:29):
crazy messages and all of these opinions.
And yeah, that is not ideal, butI hope that people listen to
Ariana and actually are embarrassed for their trolley
little solely's and go back and delete a bunch of shit.
And I hope that her saying that actually did make an impact,
even if it was just one psychotic person that was just
(47:51):
like, let me delete this. Good on you, fucking Ariana,
good on you. Because none of this is so
serious that you have to say I know where you work.
Bitch is wrong with people. Oh my God, I think he was all
right. So the Ariana queen, Queenie
(48:12):
queen, Queen. She looks incredible.
She's doing a great job. The people of the cast mates are
great. The new ones for Casa Amora, I
haven't been. I can't.
I just was introduced to them. So I don't really have that many
feelings. But I do remember when the show
aired, season 5 of this one, this discourse online about
(48:34):
chopped men and women, like, sprung up.
And I did not know what the wordchopped meant.
Chopped means ugly. And these girls were like, the
United States isn't a chopped man epidemic.
Like, where are the baddies? Like, where are the hot men?
And like, very male energy. And obviously, the men responded
(48:59):
like Looney Tunes. And I got to say, if you go on
the Internet and decide to say that, like, all of the men in
the United States of America areugly, you have to know somewhere
inside of you. And you post it on the Internet
to an algorithm that can push things out far and wide that you
can't control. You must have accepted at some
point that this exact thing was going to happen because then
(49:23):
another girl is like, yeah. And then another girl is like,
yeah. And all the comments are like,
what do you mean, bitch? You're chopped, and I'm not
going to comment on that. What I'm going to say is if
you're going to be out here commenting on other people's
appearances and straight up calling them like ugly, your
confidence must be through the roof.
(49:44):
That shit has to not be able to,like phase you.
And I don't know if these girls were ready for the rebuttals
because they got real personal real quick.
And I cannot say that I'm not ontheir side.
Gross. I hate when people make me side
with a man or agree with a man. All right, time is up I believe
(50:11):
so we do not have time for main character things.
I might upload it as like a one off YouTube whatnot sometime
this week. I do owe you another episode.
So that's exactly what I'm goingto do OK, I'm going to take the
questions from questionable things and I'm going to make
another one off episode just dedicated to answering
(50:32):
everything that's on your guys mind.
Thank you so much for joining metoday.
I have had such a lovely time chatting with you.
You know where you can find me? It's surround things everywhere
on Apple Podcast and Spotify. Please leave me a five star
rating and a review. If you type out something nice,
I'll love you forever. Sees All right, love ya.
Hello and welcome to Saran Things, a podcast for women who
like their reality TV trashy, their takes hot and their brains
activated. I am your host, Saran Al Kaba.
How do you guys diddly do how I've missed you?
I know it's been, I guess it's been two weeks since the last
time I spoke at you for an hour.I apologize for the last minute
(00:32):
scrapping of last week's episode.
You guys know that my dad is dealing with some health issues.
He had to have surgery. There was some infections, fluid
in his lungs. It's just the case of aging
parents and a role reversal where we have, to, me and my
sisters have to be his advocatesand make sure that everybody is
(00:55):
on their toes and he's getting the kind of treatment that he
needs. And but we're just like
mitigating any issues or pain that he might experience.
So that being said, I am now back and better than ever and I
don't want to spend a lot of time dwelling on hospitals and
surgeries and cardiovascular units and blah, blah, blah.
(01:19):
No, what I want to talk about today, we're in for a good show.
OK, first of all, Paige de Sorbaz, Daphne line.
I know it came out what like 2 weeks ago?
I wanted to talk about it last week, but I think it still
deserves mentioning now. Oh, I saw the call her Alex
documentary on Hulu. And then of course we have to
(01:42):
talk about Love Island. They just got to Casa more so
that's going to be fun. They're switching it up this
year and I think they're it's going to be everyone living in
the same house. Like they recouple with the
hotties and instead of having a boys villa and a girls villa
they all just stay in one villa together.
(02:02):
It sounds awkward to me but can't wait to see how that works
out for people. I am all the way caught up
honestly. It's so fucking hot outside it
is almost 100°. It's was the perfect time for me
to just trap myself in the air conditioning and get through a
bunch of episodes. And I'm not going to lie to you,
(02:22):
I did watch one through 3 and then I fell off and then we got
to day 15 and I asked you guys where should I start?
Because if I'm not going from 4 to 15 and I was told start at 9.
Some people said 12, but most people said start at 9:00, so I
did. Speaking of hotties and it being
(02:43):
a hot, I'm right now like waiting for a drunken noodle
order. You want to have something
demented about me? I when I order drunken noodles,
when I order Thai I 90% of the time I get drunken noodles and
they're delicious. Generally it's a seafood drunken
(03:03):
noodle and it's a dish that's supposed to be very fucking
spicy spicy. And if they give you a ranking
it's like 1-2 like 5 extreme spicy, spicy, like a bunch of
chili pepper blah blah blah. I am always going for the
spiciest version and I have gotten to a place where if I
(03:25):
can't be certain that you're spiced, your most extreme
heavy-handed spicing is not. I want it barely edible.
You know what I'm saying? So I call them because I or make
the order over DoorDash. So the order goes through
whatever I've had. When I call them, I'm like, hey,
(03:47):
you see this order? I, I want drunken noodles from
hell. I want to feel the fire, I want
my sinuses to be cleared and that's just part of the fun for
me. So yeah, I'm waiting for my
dragon noodles to come. Honestly, this place is not that
far away. It's less than a mile and I
would usually walk my happy ass over there.
(04:07):
But like I said, it is 1,000,000in fucking 1° right now and so
actually this might make me seemwhatever.
So I'm scrolling on TikTok as one does and I come across this
video of a woman like laying in her bed and she's saying it's
(04:28):
going to be hotter than it ever has.
And don't be selfish and run your AC at 65.
It doesn't matter how cold you set it to, you're just your
house will only cool down 10 to 15%.
So it's just like a waste of energy.
And we might have a grid like out and blah, blah, blah and
(04:48):
just make. And then she told people to set
their AC till 70 something. She tried to boss us around
about what we could set our temperature to.
And I know there's a valid argument in there somewhere.
There is for sure. Energy, carbon emissions, all of
(05:08):
that stuff for sure, but it justdidn't feel like the right time.
The execution wasn't great. And what do you mean no matter
what, it'd only get 10 to 15° colder in your apartment or in
your home? Tell that to my crisp 68° that I
can see right now. OK, And guess what?
(05:29):
It is staying right here. What do you mean we're going to
get a brown out this downtown Washington, DC, not Chechnya.
What do you mean? And Hazel?
I am enjoying my temperature controlled environments for
surezies. I still have to fucking get my
(05:50):
summer clothes out from where I'm storing them.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I've just been so fucking lazy and I and I've been preoccupied
with work and like my dad and stuff whatever.
So I'm like basically rotating through 7 summer pieces like a
onesie and a couple of skirts and some shorts and the tank
(06:13):
tops that I have out year round.And he was all limited outfit
choices. And it's also a hot as fuck.
So I'm not going to be wearing very many clothes when I am out
in these streets. And I would I generally go and
get coffee in the morning with my dog, with Henry, my little
Angel. It varies where I go and he I
(06:37):
literally just short circuited thinking about this.
I was wearing just like this cute little tennis rap skirt.
I got it from the TikTok shop. It's so fucking cute and it's it
is scantily clad making, but it's fucking summertime.
Any who's all I'm just beboppingaround.
I generally walk around with headphones on because I don't
(06:59):
want to talk to anyone other than you guys.
If you see me out in the streets, you must say something.
OK, you have to because we are friends.
But what if it's just like a stranger?
I don't want to engage. I don't want to talk to you
about anything. I don't want to hear about your
church when I don't. I already give money to
(07:21):
charities and I'm not signing a petition.
Leave me alone. So I find having my headphones
on gives me the right amount of plausible deniability where I
could just look pleasantly detached and it just and sneak
away and people will just assumethat I didn't hear them.
Although I do obviously hear you.
(07:41):
I'm not walking around in the streets with noise cancellation
on. It's in like, what is that?
It's in you can hear other shit mode.
So I'm be bopping around, I'm walking down the streets, I I'm
not paying attention to anythingbut my dog and the street ahead
of me and crossing the street safely.
(08:03):
And in like my, the corner of myeye, I look behind me and I see
there's a, a lady who just looksa little distressed, but she's
already all the way across the street and it's none of my
motherfucking business. So I move on, go on my merry way
and I cross to the other side ofthe street and I hear someone
chasing after me. And she said excuse me Susie and
(08:25):
she and I take off my like headphones and she tells me that
a man was following me masturbating like Leech in the
street walking behind me while Iam completely oblivious like
just jerking off. I literally I hope my mom
(08:46):
doesn't hear this because she will come get me right now.
I was speechless. I think the woman I was thank
you for letting me know. That's thank you.
I really do appreciate that. I think that although there was
absolutely nothing either of us could do, it's not like anyone's
going back to that man and be and saying don't touch your Dick
(09:06):
out in public. All obviously he shouldn't be.
The moment had passed, and even if I'd noticed in real time, I
wouldn't have done anything other than scoop up Henry and
run away. Sprint.
I'm Ethiopian, OK? These legs are made for fucking
sprinting. I can get away fast.
My survival instinct is incredible.
(09:28):
So yeah, that was absolutely fun.
That's been that's what you missed.
I was on the Taylor Starker showtoday.
The episode should be coming outtomorrow.
It was lovely. If you guys don't already
listen, you absolutely should. She's hilarious.
She used to have a show on causeon SiriusXM called Wake Up with
(09:49):
Taylor with Cosmo Radio. And she's just hilarious.
Shocks pop culture. She her life is incredible and
mazel tov to her and her wife Taylor and Taylor for their
pregnancy. How exciting.
Oh my goodness, it's so crazy. I was so close to this whole
(10:15):
different life where having children in the short term did,
it didn't seem so insane, so wild, so unrealistic.
And now I'm in the season of my life where, yeah, like I'm
single. But I even if I was with someone
right now, there is no universe in which I'm ready to have a
(10:38):
child. And there is no none.
There is not one universe where I should be pregnant or have a
baby right now. And I know it's crazy in your
biological clock and you're 34. Fuck my biological clock OK?
My goal in life is to be happy, OK?
It's to 'cause this little harm in the world while just enjoying
(11:02):
my day today. I said this before, I'm sure I
fear what my life might look like if something changes.
Like I have never been this happy before.
So I have no interest in pursuing any anyone that could
negatively impact that. And like I think there's also
(11:25):
God bless my ex but he was a very judge, mental.
And I being alone and having my space to myself and being able
to live unobserved, not judged, not having to live up to
anyone's expectations. Not always having to wonder how
someone is interpreting things and whether it's up to their
(11:46):
standards. It's fraying and it's liberating
and it's the way it is supposed to be. 100% yeah.
Not in a place where I'm going to be having a kid soon, but I'm
thrilled for all of my friends who are truly.
I'm like, this is this like discourse online and about child
(12:07):
free women? And they get a lot of hate when
they talk about being child freeonline and the assumption is you
hate children. Children are the future.
Children are the world. And that's not like the case.
I'm I don't want to be child free forever.
But like even women who don't want to have their own children,
most of them like kids. They just know they don't want
(12:31):
to raise any of their own. But that is that on that.
Let's move on to things that pop.
We have a lot to discuss. So Paige Dasorbo has launched
her new sleepwear line. It's called Daphne after her
adorable, beautiful. Actually, she's not a she's a
stunning ragdoll kitten or cat. I think it's been a year a cat
(12:55):
and she's ruffled some feathers.I am a page apologist.
OK, I haven't had anything to apologize for, but in theory, I
I'm Team Paige. I don't understand why people
are so pissed about these garments.
It everyone is so mad about themcosting like it's $125 or up to
(13:20):
$200 for a set. And The thing is, they sold out
and everyone will say, oh, yeah,it was her first drop.
So that was very limited. They do limited drops so they
don't get too much inventory that they can't sell so they can
figure out how much they need. Yeah, OK, that's fine.
(13:42):
It's still good that it sold out.
No. What is the metric for success
here? Because, OK, she dropped the
line. She did have a lot of critics
saying, Oh my God, how much? Why does this cost so much
fucking money? If these are Jim jams, I would
never spend this much on Jim jams.
You don't have to, but someone will.
And we know that someone will because her initial drop sold
(14:07):
out and we know that the initialdrop is limited quantities.
So by the transitive value, I think like ultimately it will be
future drops that really solidify whether or not like the
brand is successful or not. But still, I think people will
(14:29):
still try and find a way to hate.
And I think there's a lot of valid criticism about the size
ranges not being inclusive. I that's a valid criticism.
And I, I saw someone make the argument that like, why does
every brand have to make clothesfor everybody?
And she said something like, oh,I'm tall in this brand.
(14:51):
Their pants are far too short for me.
So I've never been able to purchase pants from this brand.
And yeah, of course that's different.
Of course the height and weight are treated very differently in
this world. OK, while you can go to another
(15:13):
store and very easily find like great pants that look great on
your like whatever your small frame, you could go somewhere
else and do it. Fashions that that are like of
the times that aren't just like frontal lumps, the options for
bigger girls, people in bigger bodies, they're very limited.
(15:37):
And unless there is an actual like concerted effort made to
include them in fashion, are we saying that they just like
simply do not belong and that's unacceptable.
Any Hazel, some really sweet girl left a comment like, oh, I
was disappointed that she didn'thave my size.
And I know she says that they'regoing to expand the line the
(16:01):
size range for their next drop, but even if she doesn't like I
still love her and support her. And I was like no wait pause,
fuck that. If she made a commitment.
She said that on the next drop they are going to be expanding
their sizes and if she doesn't you have.
Everybody has a right to be pissed off about that.
It is OK to hold people to standards and their word.
(16:23):
So we shall see. Did I purchase a pair?
No, because those bitches were gone immediately.
I did not stand a chance. But you bet your bottom dollar
when the second time, when they drop their second whatever, I
will be right there and you willcatch me lounging about my home
in their 100% cotton like those pants, those palazzo pants.
(16:48):
I want them and the tie side tank top like you guys have seen
that also about Daphne, this girl, I think it's called CV
pajama. She accused her of plagiarism
and by plagiarism she's saying that I have a sleepwear
(17:11):
loungewear brand too. And in my about me, in my brand
like ethos, she markets herself as great to work from home, like
work from home wear. And she's saying that it's
really disappointing that Paige used the terms like something
(17:34):
about good for working from homeor like cute for the work from
home girlies too. She's saying that she stole that
from her. And the comments are batshit
fucking crazy. They're like call a lawyer,
girl, you got a lawyer up. You know you're going to own
that company. You're going to own Daphne.
What? Unless she's trademarked Work
(17:58):
from home style and has made it so that nobody else can use that
language ever, then what case doyou have?
And I honestly don't believe, I don't think that this was a
sincere grievance. I think that she wanted to take
this opportunity to bolster her brand, her name, by associating
it with something that was getting a lot of press at the
(18:19):
time. And I think she succeeded.
She was, regardless, she was going to succeed because she was
saying something negative about something negative and very
salacious about a brand that's associated with someone who
people have a lot of feelings about.
So I get the strategy. Do I think it's like icky?
Yeah, obviously. But no, I really obviously Paige
(18:41):
Dsorbo did not steal that woman's idea.
You can describe outfits as workfrom home wear without
infringing on someone else's IP.It's just so silly.
And that is Aunt Paige's Sorbo'sbrand reception.
(19:02):
I will let you know when the next drop is.
We'll chat about that. You'll see me in my new fits, I
swear. Oh, next we're talking about
Call Her Alex. I watched Call Her Alex and I
took notes. I did not.
I didn't walk into watching it committed.
If I'm not into it in the 1st 20minutes then I'm down with
(19:25):
calling it quits but I was engrossed.
OK first and foremost watching her relationship with her
husband is so lovely. You can tell.
Like he is really hype about hercareer but not in a creepy way
where he's wanting to interject himself in it into it or like
(19:46):
being overbearing. He just seems to actually see
her and actually I want to bringher vision to life rather than
hijacking the whole situation. They actually seem to enjoy each
other's company as well. I don't know if I was surprised
at the nature of their relationship but I was very
pleased. He gives very wholesome Labrador
(20:07):
retriever golden retriever vibesAnd I don't know of course I
hope that they may get her life story was like.
Middle class or upper middle class, I don't know.
They didn't really focus on her upbringing or like the her, the
socioeconomics of her life, but they did talk a lot about her
(20:29):
always wanting to be in front ofa camera.
And it's just so incredible whatshe's built.
And whatever you feel about AlexCooper, her footprint on
podcasting and the audio media space is undeniable and it's
impressive. And this is something that they
(20:52):
really harped on is her ability to weather storms.
And when the call her daddy break up with Sophia happened,
the brand was solidly sex. The glug glug 3000, whatever it
was, just it was sex. It was all sex all the time.
And she couldn't maintain that it wasn't her.
(21:15):
There was more to her and she successfully pivoted to like
long form interviews of substance and people still
listen. And her second podcast deal with
Sirius was worth over double herfirst one with Spotify.
She's, she's a, a revolutionary in this field and it's just
(21:38):
great to see a woman doing it. And she seems just like lovely
too. The Sofia breakup was just a
blip on the radar. They barely touched upon it and
they just gave the elevator pitch version of it, let it go.
It was more so about her coach and it's disgusting.
(22:00):
She was taken advantage of. She was, it's not extorted,
exploited. She was harassed and by like a
trusted figure that held her future, she thought at least in
the palm of her hands. And I'm sure I can't imagine how
powerless she felt and stuck andcreeped out, Especially when
(22:24):
this person is so beloved by thecommunity and the team and the
whatnot. To have a different experience
with someone and know that you're not going to get any kind
of like validation from your peers.
It must be like so fucking isolating.
I urge you to watch it. Recently, almost 100 former
(22:49):
soccer players of at the the Alumni Soccer Association wrote
an open letter supporting the coach.
Whatever her fucking Nancy. I don't know.
And I just want to say that's depraved.
How stupid can you be to think that just because you had a
(23:09):
positive experience with someonethat someone that they're
incapable of behaving any differently with anyone else?
That is absolutely fucking batshit crazy in There is no way
that you know this coach intimately enough to be able to
make the judgement of whether ornot Alex Cooper is telling the
truth. And obviously she's telling the
(23:30):
fucking truth. Her mother literally documented
everything as a motherfucking dies and he is old.
A shame on you. Shame on you little soccer
weirdos. You should be embarrassed of
yourself. You're not good people, you are
not on the right side of this, and you're stupid, OK?
(23:54):
You're dumb. Can you imagine putting your
name on a piece of paper saying we support this sexual harasser?
I literally cannot. It was 2 parts.
It's very good. I love the way it's paced.
You can tell she's really like appreciative and like she loves
what she does and she seems likea good gal.
(24:16):
Let's just hope no. If racist tweets haven't come
out now yet then I don't think they're coming out.
So I think I can safely just like her.
Oh, that's dark. Dark but true.
OK, 01 more thing though. OK Kamala Harris.
That interview was such a fucking big deal.
(24:36):
I could go on and on about how the left has needs to invest
more in individual like independent journalists and
people with their own platforms.And the way that the right has
it, the scale, the reach of someof these podcasters and
influencers is incredible and can do much more than ads.
(24:59):
If you know me, that's a that's not something that I say often.
Any who's all Kamala Harris anyway, does the call her daddy
and I cry. I wept.
That's the moment I wept. Just like there, just seeing the
time when there was hope. There was real hope, and it was
(25:19):
fucking ripped away from us. I swear to God, I swear I did
not. I was not able to see a picture
of Kamala Harris. I was not able to like, hear her
voice. I avoided her like an ex that
gave me chlamydia. I could not look at her without
feeling, not obviously, not anger without just, like,
wanting to cry without feeling, I don't know, bereft a ship
(25:47):
without a sail adrift. Yeah.
So I avoided her for quite some time and just, I don't know.
God, I wish she was the president right now, guys.
That's all I can say about that.That's literally the only thing
that I had to say about that. I wish that bitch was the
president. We need to invest in liberal
(26:08):
influencers and podcasters. I wish she was the president.
God. OK, moving on.
We're talking about the valley. OK?
Jax is out of what is it called again, Rehab.
And I don't know how much I believe his rehab bullshit.
(26:28):
OK? He always looks like he's
huddled in some fucking corner every time he, like, scream like
he does a FaceTime. Apparently they said in this
last episode that it's like the kind of rehab that lets him
leave for a couple hours a day. The fuck is that?
When I my last breakup I went toa facility.
(26:48):
I'm serious. I I literally locked myself away
at a bougie facility. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this
before and there is no amount ofbougie that will allow you to
leave. Like you're still locked down,
you're just locked down and somewhere very nice.
(27:09):
Especially like he was there fordrug related issues.
I went for there were people with like drug related issues
and like weight stuff and alcoholism and all that other
stuff. I was there for.
I was going to have a mental breakdown after my breakup and I
wasn't on like suicide alert watch or anything.
I just need knew I needed some time off and even that I was not
(27:30):
allowed to go anywhere by myselfperiod.
Full stop. That's just like part of the
agreement and I anyways so Jax is back.
He is just so disgusting. I cannot imagine ever finding
that man attractive. He is a bad person to his core
and I don't understand how Britney like how is she not
(27:56):
relieved that he's gone? In this last episode he finally
cleaned out all of his shit and she starts crying in the back
while when all of his stuff is gone and it's just at this point
how does she not have a restraining order against him?
The camera stuff is so fucking creepy and you can absolutely
tell he hasn't internalized anything.
(28:17):
It's still Brittany did this andBrittany did that and there it
takes 2. What the fuck did Brittany ever
do to you, you absolute weirdo? She stuck by your psycho side.
She never should have it. I said I wasn't gonna harp on
Brittany making her own bed, butI just got to fucking say like
(28:39):
she knew he was a bad person when she married him.
Maybe 10% of the time together he's been a decent person.
The other 90%, he's literally the spawn of Satan.
So her decision making skills concern me.
I'm really trying to give her grace.
I'm really trying to give her fucking grace.
(29:00):
But Oh my God. And when Jax said she's kicking
me out of her my house. What is a single woman with one
kid going to do with all of thishouse?
You can't take care of this. What the fuck are you talking
about you absolute Neanderthal. You've never been able to follow
through with or take care of anything on your own in your
life. You don't.
(29:20):
You are not living in reality. How dare you tell this woman who
has out earned you for so long, who has weathered all of your
storms, that she can't take careof this house on her own?
Are you fucking wait because youmowed the lawn?
OK, $100 a week? What is that on top of the
(29:42):
$18,000 she's now paying in her mortgage because you're deadbeat
broke dumbass refused to pay your bills and wanted to go into
foreclosure? Because if you were going to
have her and you were going to have your little fake white
picket fence, you would ruin herlife too 'cause she doesn't get
to be happy while you're all alone in your creepy little
(30:04):
bachelor den of iniquity next toTom Schwartz just being
disgusting. You are the dredges of society,
Jax. You're a bad person.
You shouldn't be on the show. You shouldn't be around people.
Frankly. Lock him up.
No, feel good. OK.
(30:26):
And on the docket next. Oh, am I done?
It was that. Is that it?
NIA and Danny. Danny and NIA, they're in a
condo. They already have three
children. I wonder if they've gotten a new
place yet or if the new baby, ifall four children and the
parents are in the condo still. I she's really against getting
(30:51):
getting a place out farther out in the valley like she wants to
be like in Hollywood. I don't know about what real
estate prices are, but I do knowthat like you need some more
space for a household of six people, four of which being
children, babies at the same time, the way this man out
(31:13):
kicked his coverage in this situation is truly incredible.
So I would recommend he just do what she says.
And now that I'm thinking about it, she did just have that baby.
So she got her 4th baby. She got her 4th baby.
And I'm sure he'll figure out a way to get her house in
Hollywood or like the hills or what what not.
(31:34):
Yeah, because it doesn't get it doesn't get better than that.
But for you, Danny, it doesn't. In terms of looks, obviously,
she is a gorgeous. She's stunning, beautiful,
perfection. And but she's also sweet as
fuck, too. She's like a sweet.
She's just a sweet, sensitive little lady.
And she's been through a lot. So I like her.
(31:55):
I like them together. I don't think that Danny has a
drinking problem. Was he an asshole at that event
at Jack's? Oh, Britt's night at Jack's?
Yeah, he was, but he wasn't likethey acted like he was doing
somersaults and body shots and like he was grabbing people's
asses again. He was butting into
conversations and being like a Dick.
(32:17):
You're going to sit at the same table with Danny and Jax and
you're going to spend your time lecturing Danny, telling him
that he's an alcoholic, the grace that Jax gets, the kid
clubs that he gets when he's doesn't give a fuck about
anyone. Truly he would sell them down
(32:39):
the river Styx any one of for I don't know for a puntini.
I don't like Jason being a part of the drama.
It just doesn't feel right. Guys.
It's it's like Mr. Rogers tryingto serve any who's all that's
that on the valley. I'm so excited to talk about
(33:00):
Love Island. So like I said earlier, I am
almost all caught up. I have to see 18.
I'm about to be finished with that, and first and foremost, we
have to discuss Huda. I was so prepared as someone who
had a week and a half lag where she wasn't watching the
(33:22):
episodes, but I was still seeingpeople commenting on what was
going on. And the way people were talking
about Huda's Huda's behavior, I was expecting her to have truly
violated someone, maybe put her hands on someone, stolen
something, maybe lied about something psychotic like crazy.
(33:42):
Like we found out she didn't have a kid.
She made-up a she made-up a random child as part of her
storyline. Or that her name wasn't actually
Huda. I don't know.
I didn't expect OK, Huda is toxic.
Her relationship with Jeremiah was a dumpster fire.
(34:03):
That conversation she had with him where he was just like
saying, Oh yeah, I mentioned like, whatever to Iris and she's
like, don't you ever talk about our relationship to anyone ever
again? That was terrifying.
What the fuck do you mean, bitch?
Also, you talk to everyone aboutyour feelings about everything.
(34:24):
Also, every conversation with Jeremiah is a conversation with
everyone because she's always yelling, right?
Yeah, she's a mess. And the correct course of action
in all of this was for her and Jeremiah to separate, because
there was no getting back on track after, after America split
(34:46):
them up and put Jeremiah with Iris and honestly called that
knew that was fucking coming because you, like America,
needed her to be away from him. Anyways, Who was here to come?
You guys went up there? Yeah.
Who got recoupled And he was up after that happened After
America assaulted her game, she was so in her head, she was
(35:10):
never going to get out of there.She convinced herself.
Like obviously the America has seen something that I didn't.
Obviously he must have done something that would make them
not want him to be with me. But do they not want me to be
with him? Oh, he must have done something
that I'm not saying. Like how could I ever trust him
after this? How could I ever trust him when
(35:32):
she has actually no idea the motivations of the people who
voted just losing her shit. And The thing is, when Jeremiah
didn't go to comfort her that night, that was fucked.
And I like that Nick called it out the next day.
But at the same time there is nothat's no excuse to behave like
(35:55):
a banshee. Scream, curse, call people a
bunch of unnecessary names. It's Ratchet.
OK, that being said, she's not evil.
Guys. I saw someone on Ted Talk say
the women who don't think that Hooda is that bad are 'cause
they're just like Hooda. They're real.
(36:17):
They pop off, they look like a phantom in the night.
As long as I'm laughing, guys walking around in dark,
ultimately waking up Ace just tosay they went to oh, it was
(36:38):
Charlie and Shelly, Charlie and Shelly and OK, wait, was it your
bitch? OK, we got to get back on track
here, she said. The women who say that Hooda
isn't that bad, she's not terrible.
Probably just like her unhinged fucking lunatics, terrible
people, just Tasmanian devils, bulls and China shops blah blah
(37:01):
blah. No, that's not true.
I think that Hooda is just a girly.
She's 24, she has a child that both impresses me and concerns
me. But I don't think she's like
irredeemably broken. I think that she just crashed
the fuck out. And was that good?
(37:24):
No. Did it make it very clear that
she has toxic behaviors that shereally needs to address before
she can actually be in a healthyrelationship?
Absolutely. But do I think she's a terrible
person? That she's a bad person that she
like doesn't feel remorse and that she's willing to like that
(37:47):
she doesn't have any integrity or whatever like what she did?
She should have talked to Hannahbefore she went and talked to
Pepe. But that being said, there's
nothing irredeemable about this woman.
And I'm saying this and I I guess I am unwell, but not that
kind of unwell. No, I have.
I would never, nor could I ever.I repel chaos.
(38:12):
OK, I am not Huda's type of chaos, but I also can see that
she's not terrible and I can empathize with her being maybe
not empathize, but sympathize with her being on a show feeling
very vulnerable. Very what's it called again,
exposed in a very unfamiliar circumstance.
And like she, I don't know, but the bitch's nervous system is
(38:36):
shot. I don't know, I don't know.
And she keeps taking these L's and it's I think it's it'll help
her ultimately. Like when TJ was like, let me be
straight with you. It ain't happened.
It's like, OK, good on you TJ for being just complete.
He said, I'm not going to leave any room for motherfucking
(38:57):
interpretation. Huda.
It ain't happened. And to be fair, thank God it was
time for Casa Amor because no man that was in that villa that
witnessed her behavior is is approaching that it's self
preservation at this point. Like you being, but now that
there is fresh blood, now that Casa Moore is here, I think that
(39:21):
the tides might turn for her, hopefully.
And also like when Jeremiah left, it was so sweet that she
was like, I'm so sorry. And she apologized for her
behavior. And I'm a sucker for someone who
can show remorse. I don't expect anyone to be
perfect ever. Like of course there are lines
(39:42):
that you can't uncross, but generally I really respect it
when someone can say I fucked up, I fucked up, I acted like a
psychopath and I'm very sorry without the expectation of
anybody for giving them. Like, you give the apology, you
walk away because even though the right thing to do is
(40:03):
apologize, expecting anything inreturn, even an acceptance of
that apology, just goes to show that you're not.
You haven't done the work, babe.But yeah, she told him like, I'm
sorry. I said her very tearful goodbye
and that I found very endearing.Sue me.
(40:24):
Who else? Shelley.
Shelley and Olandria. They were the first two in the
house, Mesmerized. They both look like little
fairies, little ethereal angels.I don't know.
There's dolls. They look like dolls.
Taylor is great. Nice little country boy Austin.
(40:46):
I can hear the air go through one ear and out the
motherfucking other guys. There is nothing going on up
here. There's nothing going on.
He voted what was it Charlie offwhat's and he was like damn, I
were. I wish I hadn't done that.
I guess my lot What? He's a daylight and he's a
(41:09):
dollar short. He is not a smart man, and
therefore I find him very unattractive.
Are any of them particularly smart?
No, I don't think that's the point of this though, guys, I
don't think that's the metric inwhich we should be focusing the
girls. Who else did I miss?
Huda s s nee. Oh, and Andriana.
(41:32):
Oh God, Andriana is my hall passfor life.
I'm not a lesbian. I'm mesmerized by that bitch.
Her body, her skin, her hair, her accent.
I am like giddy, like Nick. When she's talking.
I'm like Nick, call me Ferrok, call me Nick.
She's so fucking cute and she's very sexy.
(41:53):
Her body, that's a body. Adi, adi, adi adi.
That's what Megan was talking about.
God damn, huh? And she's just like, funny and
delightful. And she's for sure the reason
why Jeremiah went home. I made a sick talk about this.
But like his what was like the fucking nail in his coffin was
him making out with Andriana in plain sight in view of all of
(42:18):
the boys. Because Nick and Ace were like,
motherfucker, see the wheels turning in their heads.
They said, we got to get this bitch out of here.
And it's the man couldn't do anything right.
He spent the first two weeks with the hood up.
You're not exploring, you're notdoing what you need to do.
He starts to explore and they decide after she's been here for
two days, she likes him too. That's why they were spending
(42:41):
time with each other. It only been a couple of days.
What is he going to say? No, I don't want to hang up,
obviously. So they had to get him the fuck
up out of there. They would have said anything to
get them, get him out of there. It's just such bullshit.
And what, Ace is 22 motherfucking years old?
(43:01):
22, And they're listening to himlike he has got the king the
keys to the Kingdom, like he hasit all figured out.
Like he knows exactly what's supposed to happen in Love
Island and how all of them are supposed to behave and the
timelines that are appropriate. What the fuck are you talking
about, Sir? You are a child.
Oh my. You were born in 2003.
(43:25):
You were born in 2003. Stop, stop bossing people
around. And they're all, but they're
taking it, they're doing it. And Nick was the people's
Princess for a while. And I do appreciate that he
tried to balance like sticking up for Huda and also giving
(43:48):
Jeremiah a like good advice. I liked that he showed some kind
of like consistency in his integrity, regardless of who he
was just talking to. I like that with his
relationship with Sierra, I was so sad for her.
Literally the day after you guysbone, you're going to tell her
I'm just like, I don't go out ofyour way to tell her that you
(44:09):
have no interest in closing things off.
And the obviously Andriana's presence has a lot to do with
that. And I love the way that Sierra
handed it, handled it. She pulled away like she needed
to and she said herself, like, Iwanted you to feel like what it
would be like to not have me nothave my back scratches.
(44:30):
Yikes. I'm sorry.
It's just like that kind of intimacy after knowing someone
for 10 days. Oh, it makes me want to sweat
just like even thinking about it.
Anyways, I just think she's sucha sweetheart.
She seems to have a fantastic head on her shoulders.
She's beautiful and she's like the one person there.
(44:51):
You should probably get advice from you.
You'll be good talking to Iris. Iris is.
I don't know anything about Iris.
Iris is blunt and from California and that's all I have
on her. Who else am I forgetting?
I think that's it. Ariana.
Ariana Maddox. She's so beautiful.
She's having such a good time. I am blown the fuck away by her,
(45:16):
and not just because she's stunning, gorgeous perfection,
but like the Joie de Veve she brings to the show.
She really ties this shit together and I'm sure we could
pull the ratings right now. She comes in season 4 and five.
The shit skyrockets like she is the common denominator and she
(45:39):
is a big part of this show success.
People TuneIn because they enjoyher.
She's a star. She was made to do this.
She has the flair, the artist, like she's putting on a show and
it's really lovely. And also this is actually
something important. On the after show, they were
talking about what do you want the fans to know?
And she made a point to say thisis supposed to be fun and
(46:01):
entertainment. I know you guys have big
feelings and we love you, the fans.
We wouldn't be anything without the fans, blah, blah, blah.
But this is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be
entertainment. And you should not be berating
people, daxing people, threatening people because of a
reality TV show where they just make out all the time.
OK. And she said you still have time
(46:22):
to delete all the shit that you commented and sent and posted.
That is going to inevitably really hurt these kids when
they're when they're out of the villa.
And like, part of me is people are allowed to have their
opinions. You know what you're signing up
for when you put yourself on a show like Love Island with such
like a rabid, intense fanbase. But I can't help but think about
(46:47):
Love Island UK. And there has been a lot of
darkness around, like contestants and even the host, I
can't recall what her name was, but I believe one of the hosts
of the Love Island UK actually did commit suicide.
And I think a couple of cast members, I'm not sure, don't
quote me, but there has been a lot of strife, a lot of
(47:08):
emotional tumult on on the otherside of the pond there.
The Daily Mail UK, I've, I'm pretty sure I read an article
about them providing like even more mental health assistance on
set. And I think that's incredibly
important. But what happens when you leave?
You don't get that. You don't have that support
system and you're just like inundated with all of these
(47:29):
crazy messages and all of these opinions.
And yeah, that is not ideal, butI hope that people listen to
Ariana and actually are embarrassed for their trolley
little solely's and go back and delete a bunch of shit.
And I hope that her saying that actually did make an impact,
even if it was just one psychotic person that was just
(47:51):
like, let me delete this. Good on you, fucking Ariana,
good on you. Because none of this is so
serious that you have to say I know where you work.
Bitch is wrong with people. Oh my God, I think he was all
right. So the Ariana queen, Queenie
(48:12):
queen, Queen. She looks incredible.
She's doing a great job. The people of the cast mates are
great. The new ones for Casa Amora, I
haven't been. I can't.
I just was introduced to them. So I don't really have that many
feelings. But I do remember when the show
aired, season 5 of this one, this discourse online about
(48:34):
chopped men and women, like, sprung up.
And I did not know what the wordchopped meant.
Chopped means ugly. And these girls were like, the
United States isn't a chopped man epidemic.
Like, where are the baddies? Like, where are the hot men?
And like, very male energy. And obviously, the men responded
(48:59):
like Looney Tunes. And I got to say, if you go on
the Internet and decide to say that, like, all of the men in
the United States of America areugly, you have to know somewhere
inside of you. And you post it on the Internet
to an algorithm that can push things out far and wide that you
can't control. You must have accepted at some
point that this exact thing was going to happen because then
(49:23):
another girl is like, yeah. And then another girl is like,
yeah. And all the comments are like,
what do you mean, bitch? You're chopped, and I'm not
going to comment on that. What I'm going to say is if
you're going to be out here commenting on other people's
appearances and straight up calling them like ugly, your
confidence must be through the roof.
(49:44):
That shit has to not be able to,like phase you.
And I don't know if these girls were ready for the rebuttals
because they got real personal real quick.
And I cannot say that I'm not ontheir side.
Gross. I hate when people make me side
with a man or agree with a man. All right, time is up I believe
(50:11):
so we do not have time for main character things.
I might upload it as like a one off YouTube whatnot sometime
this week. I do owe you another episode.
So that's exactly what I'm goingto do OK, I'm going to take the
questions from questionable things and I'm going to make
another one off episode just dedicated to answering
(50:32):
everything that's on your guys mind.
