Get ready for the
best part of your day.
What's up, britt?
How was your weekend?
It was good.
It was a weekend that I'mhonestly glad is over, because
my husband, chris, was in a golftournament all weekend, so I
had my two children all weekend,which was was fun.
But I made some poor decisionson Saturday night that I'm still
(00:29):
kicking myself.
For.
They do like an event with likeso the guests can, like you
know, see the clubhouse and likethey like kind of like deck it
out and it's full, full, uh,open bar, and there's like a ton
of food and it's like includedin the money.
Chris had to pay like a couplehundred bucks to get in the
tournament, so it's like free,because it's part of that.
So I was like, oh, why not?
I guess I'll go.
(00:49):
I've never been like Kelly'sbeen like four times.
She was like you haven't beento this, and I was like, no, and
now I remember why.
Because I would always be like,well, no, I have my kids of
them.
So, yeah, so that's what I didand that's exactly what happened
.
Like my Saturday was soproductive.
(01:09):
I woke up, I, we went on a nicelong walk, we went to the
playground, we went to thelibrary.
I had like 11,000 steps by like11 AM.
Dang, I did all the chores,Tyler took a nap, did a workout.
I was like so productive.
And then the event thing wasn'tuntil like 7 pm and I didn't
(01:30):
get home till like midnight.
And so sunday it was like acrash and burn, yeah.
So I was like eating mcdonald's.
We were, we.
I took them to, we had to likelay around.
I laid around for a couplehours and we went to Target just
to kill time.
Then I was like found myselfdriving around until 11 am
waiting for McDonald's lunch toopen Like who am I?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Words I've never
heard you say in your life.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, I wanted to get
them food, but then I was like
I'm definitely getting somefries and a nice DC Fountain.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
DC is for McDonald's
might be the best DC on the
planet.
Yeah, it wasn't enough, wasn'tenough.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Um, so yeah, then I
like laid in my bed for an hour
while Tyler took a nap and likeliterally didn't move, um, and I
was just hurting all day.
It was just the completeopposite.
The house was an absolutedisaster, um, and I got nothing
done.
So I guess, parents, you guyscan all laugh at me.
Hopefully you have not been inthe same experience.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
How did Chris play?
How was he feeling the next day?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Good, I mean he well,
that's like, yeah, he had
something Thursday night andSaturday so it was tough.
I don't think he played thatgood.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But I also don't
really pay attention.
Yeah, I mean please, well, itsounds like you had fun on
saturday, even though you werepaying for it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I mean, yeah, it was
fun I got to hang out with like
a lot of my aunts and uncles andmy cousins were there and stuff
.
So it was fun.
But I was like, oh, this is whyI don't go to this event yeah,
right right.
It's just too hard taking careof children the next day.
Like you think, parentinghungover is like a death
sentence.
Like single parenting hungoveris is actually a death sentence.
Like single parenting hungoveris is actually a death sentence.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
True torture.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So yeah, so behind on
everything today how was your
weekend?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It was nice.
I was with my family.
I went and had a day withMelissa on Saturday.
We bopped around legacy place,so that was really fun.
And then I saw coffee date manon Friday night and then
yesterday I kind of just chilled.
I didn't do a whole lot, youknow.
Just Sunday, sunday reset, butI also started that.
(03:31):
Uh, the show quarterback onNetflix came out, season two.
So I've been, oh, it did, ohyeah, and obviously I was so
excited to see my main man, joe,but more than anything, jared
Goff.
Surprise of the series.
I'm obsessed.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I can see that.
Oh my God.
I used to have him on myfantasy team, like when he was
like a rookie and he was likereally good, it was like a good
pick.
So I always kind of like him.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
No, I.
He is so endearing.
So his wife is named Kristen.
She's beautiful Like a model.
It got me thinking it must bereally hard to be an NFL
quarterback's wife.
Jared Goff.
Episode one talks about howwhen he was traded from Los
Angeles to Detroit he wastotally blindsided Like there
was no conversation.
You can tell he was stillbitter about it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The way he brought it
up, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And then I was like
okay, so you, if you're Kristen
Goff, you meet this guy when hemoves out here in 2018, start
dating and you're in Los Angelesand then you have to move to
Detroit on a moment, on a whim.
Yeah, that's hard, shout out tothe wags because you girls are
holding it down and I just feellike you have to have.
(04:40):
You have to like make your lifefit around their life and just
be okay, knowing that they'rethe breadwinners famous they can
be gone for like a long time,days at a time and stuff like
that too gone for long days at atime and you're probably gonna
have women throwing themselvesat your man everywhere they go,
true I?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
didn't even think of
that.
The wives I feel like thoughthere is a slight.
It's more impressive for, likethe, not as famous football
players that don't make a lot ofmoney like their wives, because
I feel like if you make a lotof money and can have like
nannies and can like travel asoften as you want and like.
Have all this help in the worldlike I.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's not as
impressive yeah, that's true,
you should watch it.
I think you would really likeit, and I think it's a good for
any girly that has any interestin football.
It's a really good watch, andyou could watch it with your
partners if they like footballtoo.
I'm not gonna watch for chriswhy?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
because he just like
shits all over anyone that's not
the patriots.
It's like boring, like okay,the patriots aren't good anymore
.
And like he wouldn't like likewatching like uh, joe Burrow's
fashion and all that he'd belike so annoying.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So, um, jared Goff's
cute too, I think no, jared Goff
is so cute Jared Goff is likehe's my new football crush.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I'm interested in him
.
You've made me more interested,but I like already kind of was
because I was like I feel likehe's good.
No one really talks about him.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
They talk a lot about
how that team like is really
risky.
They'll go forward on fourthdown a lot Like they're fun to
watch.
I love that.
Yeah, no, I was reallysurprised by the end of it.
I was just as interested in him, and Kirk Cousins is just like
kind of a funny goofy dude.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Was he on the last
one?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
yeah, isn't he the
one that has like 10 kids, no um
, but he's the one who's he has,I think, two boys, but he's the
one whose wife picks out hisclothing and he kind of gets you
know, do you?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
think that's weird.
I mean, maybe not it's when yousay it like oh right, like that
, it sounds weird yeah, well, Iguess he people kind of.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He was trending on
twitter and trending online
because he was wearing thesevery cole's cash target shirts
that were just like compared tohis teammates, who are all
swagged out.
You know, people are making funof him and he says oh, my wife
julie just picks out my outfitsyeah, I mean, I did have the
same thought, like right after.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Like my brother
Kyle's, like that he just like
doesn't care about clothes.
He'll wear khakis and blacksneakers everywhere.
So sometimes he needs someone,like he needs Sammy, to help him
get dressed yeah so when you,if it's like that, then it's not
as crazy yeah, but that was mybig news from the weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Um, okay, should we
talk?
Talk about Bieber's new album.
We said that on Friday we weregoing to listen to it over the
weekend and talk about it onMonday.
Swag what did you think?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
um, I like it.
I feel like the more at once Iwas like two or three times
through it, I started to like itmore.
I maintain that like it's hardto understand him at some parts.
I don't know if it's like abilly eilish type of thing, so
I'm having trouble figuring out,like, what all the songs are
about.
But I like it.
I like the r&b vibe.
Um, my favorite song is daisies, I think right now.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Daisies stands out to
me.
I also really like All I Can.
Take the first one and it'scatchy yeah, it gets stuck in my
head.
And 405 was another one.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I like that one too.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh my God, brit, yeah
, and that one's like way down
the way I listen to music.
I'm curious how you do it.
I'll go on Apple Music and I'llnormally listen to the song and
then I'll read.
I'll skim the lyrics reallyquickly.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh, that's smart.
Yeah, I need to do that I don'tusually.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
That's what I did for
all of them and you can
definitely tell it's a lovealbum.
It's about like him being inlove with Haley, some of the
struggles that they've had, butlike at the end of the day,
that's his girl and then alsothat, yeah, being a dad, there's
21 tracks on it, but that ismisleading.
When I first saw 21 tracks I waslike what, what is this like?
(08:48):
Ttpd bar two Like this is goingto be a lot to listen to, but
it's less than an hour long andit's because he has.
Three of the tracks areactually just minute long.
It's a comedian, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's like a sketch
almost.
I was going to say you know, itreminded me of Selena's album.
I had the same thought, the onethat came out earlier this year
, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Selena Gomez's album
that she did with Benny Blanco.
The first song on it is arecording and I found out that
it was from the last or one ofthe last days.
They shot wizards of Waverlyplace and it was like the speech
that she gave to the crew andcast there Gotcha, that makes
sense, yeah, which I thought wascool to like bring that back
really full circle.
But Bieber did the same thing.
(09:30):
He has three tracks on herethat are like, that are like his
therapy sessions, but it's'slike it's the difference between
listening to like singlesversus listening to an album
full through.
I felt like I had a differentexperience listening to it full
through, with those interspersed, because it gives context to
like what he's talking about,like he in one of the things he
talks about, how, um, you knowhim living under the microscope
(09:53):
and being famous that, like,people keep asking him are you
okay, are you okay?
and that makes him paranoid likeam I okay?
Am I the only person that'sstruggling, or whatever.
And he has one about thepaparazzi.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I just I like that he
had them yeah, I feel like I a
lot of people are like on those,but I don't mind them.
I feel like I mean it's part oflike the art exactly like
that's.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
That's exactly my
point.
Like that's the differencebetween a single and like the
full.
It's a part of the album, youknow.
Yeah, like a part of the wholething he's trying to do right.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, it makes it
feel like more cohesive or
whatever.
Yeah, I don't know, I'm like, Ifeel like it's like, I like it,
I like.
I feel like I get the pointthat they're trying to make it's
a part of the art and like Ifeel like the therapy sessions
and stuff it's like things hewants you to know.
But it's also kind of like likeI've always thought, like in tv
, when they have like a therapysession, it's like cheap, like
that's like an easy way out tolike explain to the audience all
(10:45):
, like like the characters,feelings and stuff, like that
it's just like an easy way out,rather than like making more
incorporated into the songs.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, but I don't
think there's a single I don't
think so because he I mean itwas a surprise album, but I
could say I think daisy's is theone that I've seen the most
online.
I think that's the one that'sgetting like the most traction,
but I haven't heard him releaseof an actual single daisy sounds
like harry styles song yeah,don't you think it wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I know I didn't have
that thought, but I'd have to go
back and do it again I'll goback and listen.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I just love his voice
.
You know, when we listen to ataylor album, so much of what
we're listening for is thelyrics, like that's what we're
breaking down and payingattention to.
That's not how I feel aboutthis album.
Like I knew it was about likehayley and being a dad and all
that.
But um, even my favorite songs,like 405 and I Can Take, it's a
lot of the same lyrics justover and over and over again.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Or it's like this
whining like I don't know this,
like mumbling kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, like you're not
reading, you're not listening
to it.
For his like lyrical prowess inmy mind.
Yeah, does he write his ownsongs.
On each song there's literallylike seven people that are
credited for writing andproducing.
Like the first one, all I cantake one, two, three, four, five
, six, seven, and that's likehow all of them are.
Wow, so, yeah, it's hard totell.
(12:05):
Yeah, so it's just like a lotof people on there.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Did you see the like?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
artwork.
Yeah, I did see the artwork.
Yeah, yeah, I like it.
Yeah, no, I like it.
Yeah, I have no issue with it.
I liked how he had Haley andJack, the baby, in it.
Me too, it seems like it's beenreviewed pretty well.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Pitchfork yes, I feel
like it's been like it's like,
eh, but like more good than bad.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
But one thing that's
I read that stood out was
someone said that it's.
Someone said it's like the bestpr control you could have,
which I agree with, because he'sable to like speak his side of
the story.
And then I feel like peoplekind of give him a break,
they're like all right, let'slay off this guy.
He's just human, so good timingfor it, for sure yeah, I feel
like bieber is always facingadversity.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I don't know why.
Yeah totally seems like he'salways just getting slammed um,
but yeah, um, all right.
What do we get next?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
um, next, another
headline that came out last week
.
Um, there's actually been a lotthat's come out over the
weekend.
I don't know if you saw, butlike we, we don't have time to
get into all of these, butolivia colpo gave birth to her
baby girl.
What do you think of the namecolette?
I don't know much about thecolpos, I'm not one that follows
(13:22):
them on social media and Inever watched their show and
christian mcafree I only know.
I don't know anything about hispersonality, so I guess I say
that to say like my opinion,like take it with a grain of
salt.
She strikes me as someone thatwants to be like classic and
timeless and like with herwedding she had a really long
(13:47):
sleeve, simple wedding dress.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Oh, I saw that yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Remember that, and
everyone thought it was going to
be so different because she'ssuch a fashionista.
But it was almost like shetried to go really simple,
elegant, whatever, and then shekind of got some hate for it.
I feel like that.
It's this with the name likecolette.
I feel like she's trying tomake it.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
yeah, I see what
you're saying.
Yeah like, trying to make itlike classy or something.
Yeah like, yeah, you gottaremember she comes from like the
pageant world right, which Ifeel like is a big, is key she's
.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
She's in that dallas
cowboy cheerleader realm.
She's adjacent, exactly,exactly, it's, it's.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It reads like it's
trying too hard yeah, I, I don't
like names that are long, thatlike you, can't really shorten
to.
Like colette, what do you callher?
Call?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
call lani, you don't
maybe that, but that's so far
off yeah, I actually don't hatethe name, but just on them, I
immediately dismiss it as likeall right, you're just I don't
know you're trying to be uniqueand different, but you're
premium.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, anyway, but
yeah, so that happened.
Oh, um, did you?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
see, jennifer
aniston's got a new boo.
You're trying to be unique anddifferent, but you're premium
anyway.
But yeah, so that happened.
Oh, did you see JenniferAniston's got a new boo?
Yeah, hypnotist.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
That doesn't surprise
me.
She's very I think she's veryinto meditation, and like
wellness, wellness.
And yeah, so that happened.
Brody Jenner got married.
I feel like Brody Jen jenner Ihas he been married before.
I feel like this man's marriedall the time is that.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
it's funny that you
say that, because I like I got
like an email, that's like.
You know the people send youlike the headlines or whatever,
and I was like brody jenner'sjust getting married, like I
thought he'd been married before.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Same same, same same.
So, yeah, that happened.
I we're not love islanders, butI know that that came to a
finish.
So a lot happened over theweekend, but the one that I
think we need to talk to you andthen we'll do.
Um, the oh, the yeah, the book.
Sheena shea was in the news.
She just released her memoir,which did you.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I did not know she
was but I bet she's writing a
memoir is laugh out loud funny.
She should be writing like acomic book or something oh my
god.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well yeah, sheena
shea from vanderpump uh rules
fame wrote a memoir.
In it she talks about how hernow husband, brock, cheated on
her uh when she was pregnantwith their daughter summer,
summer moon, back in I think itwas 2023.
I don't have the article up,but it was around and it came.
I guess it was like around thescandal of all time, because do
(16:30):
you remember there was a lot ofpress about brock having an
affair with Raquel slash Rachel.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, so I think she
was pregnant Summer's, like the
same age as Connor, so she waspregnant with her in like 2020,
2021.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I think, yes, yes,
but I think when the Scandival
stuff came out and she startedpressing Brock, and that's when
she found out that he cheatedwhen she was pregnant.
Obviously, they're stilltogether and she said
essentially that he told her andthe reason that he stepped out
(17:06):
was because he was struggling todeal with the stress of, like,
being a dad, but also because Ithink he was having issues about
his own self-esteem because hedoes have a daughter or has kids
in Australia that he isestranged from, never sees them.
So he was like can I handlebeing a dad?
Do I deserve to be a dad?
Which poor excuse.
(17:28):
Okay, thank you, for I was justgonna say eye rolling, like,
give me a break oh, I am, so I'mhaving such a hard time.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know my
identity as a dad.
Okay, let me go cheat onsomeone, like sleep with someone
what?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
like, a plus b does
not equal c sark, you're not
gonna find it like that'sactually the opposite thing you
should do if you're trying to bea good like good dad or
whatever totally like do youthink that you're gonna get
garner sympathy from all ofthese people because we're
supposed to understand thestruggle you're going through
being scared to be a parent likewho isn't?
(18:01):
yeah, legit like this issomething everyone deals with
like, yeah, sorry, brock, I feelbad for sheena, but it's also
just seems typical for sheena,like she's just clueless her
first husband, what shea was outto lunch that was michael shea
(18:21):
that.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I just think it's so
weird that she goes by his last
name I think that's very strangetoo they were married for like
three months it's really weird.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Totally.
She had a crop job weddingdress.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
That was the crop job
wedding dress.
That was the crop job weddingdress.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
The crop job.
I've never seen a biggerbridezilla.
The day of her wedding, sheena,was a legit nightmare.
That whole wedding, it wasridiculous.
I felt so bad for her weddingplanner and also I was like what
a terrible attitude to haveduring what's supposed to be the
happiest day of your life, likeyou're ruining it.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
What like percentage
of her book do you think is
about her wedding?
Oh my God, brittany, like 30?
.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
No, like 30 to 40?
Probably, oh my God.
And then I think, didn't sheperform Good as Gold?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Well, that, I think,
was when she got married to
Brock.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh, she performed it
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, yeah, so she's
got married Brock.
Oh, she performed it.
Okay, yeah, yeah, so she's gotmarried twice.
And then she had that guy thatcould hang the TV in seven
minutes.
They didn't get married.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, that's what I'm
saying.
It's like she's just clueless,Like she was so obsessed with
that guy Rob and then he likedidn't like her.
He was like bye, Sheena, sheena.
Like I bye poor sheena.
She's so surface, I know, butthat's why I feel almost like
worse for her in this scenariobecause I feel like she's just
true.
I see this character I built inmy head.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm like, oh sheena I
know I wasn't also kind of sad
to hear that because I likebrock and I feel like they're
good together.
I've been happy for sheenalately yeah, I wish her best,
you know.
Yeah, um, but yeah, I wasdefinitely sad to find out and
it definitely is way worse thefact that she was pregnant.
I'm more I'm honestly moreinterested in the memoir.
(20:04):
I like need to know what's init wait, do we read sheena shea,
sheena marie?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
shea no, no, I'm not
reading it.
You don't want to spark notesversion.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
okay, I feel like I'd
be dumber after reading that
I'm not wasting my time.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
There is a new
Housewives and I was.
I think we should watch it.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's the Real
Housewives of Rhode Island that
doesn't sound interesting, I'mgonna watch it it's.
I mean, I'll watch it becauseit's around here, but like if I
wasn't from here I would be likewhy I don't want to watch the
show in fucking rhode island Iknow, apparently it's very
italian so it's.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Maybe it's like a
jersey one yeah, it's giving
jersey vibes, but you know whowas cast as um a housewife.
I'm so excited about this.
Heather actually messaged meabout this.
Ashley Iaconetti from theBachelor I don't know who that
is oh my God, brett, she isiconic in Bachelor Nation.
So her and Jared are a couplethat are both Bachelor alums.
They met on Bachelor inParadise.
(21:04):
I'm obsessed with this couple.
I follow them on social.
They're such a good socialfollow, follow them.
And he's from Rhode Island, sothey live in Rhode Island.
Now they actually have a coffeeshop in Rhode Island that they
own.
I think I need to get there.
But yeah, it was just revealedthat they're being cast.
It's going to be awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm surprised.
I feel like Rhode Island is sorandom.
I don't know.
I mean, yeah, but maybe I'llcheck it out.
I don't know.
In general, though, thehousewives are kind of boring to
me.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I know that's okay,
You're not.
You don't have to be a realityTV junkie.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Well, it's like
sometimes I like I can get into
them, but it has to be like agood one.
I like if I am not entertainedin a reality TV show I'll just
stop watching it.
Yeah, I hear that.
But so like, if you tell mesomething's good and then I
watch it, then I'll probablylike it.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But I wouldn't just
go start Housewives.
Yeah, definitely not theBachelor.
Oh sorry, I it depends on theseason with the Bachelor.
Sometimes I can get into it.
But Paradise is great.
Paradise is more authenticbecause they're like.
It's not like one man dates 30women and they're all vying for
his attention it's, they're alldating each other yeah, that's
much better.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I that was always my
problem with the Bachelor.
It's just like a weird dynamic.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, no hurt, but
anyhow.
Last last thing that we want toget to um, because we're kind
of like going over on time.
We were going to do this onFriday but we didn't have time.
Uh, the book review for in fiveyears.
I don't think we've actuallysaid the premise.
So to set the stage a little bit, basically it's about a woman
who you find out very early on,very type a, really like
(22:37):
controlling in her life.
She wants to have a pulse oneverything, have everything fall
perfectly into place.
So it's all working out for her.
She's getting into a top lawfirm, law firm in New York.
She's about to get engaged toher boyfriend and, like a
picture perfect way they getengaged.
And that night she falls asleepand has a dream that she's five
years in the future.
But it's not a dream, it's.
It feels really real and sherealizes that she's not in the
(23:01):
same apartment with her fiance.
She's in a whole new apartmentwith a new man named Aaron
Gregory.
They end up having a nighttogether.
She wakes up and she's back inher real life and she can't seem
to shake the dream because itfelt so real.
And then it kind of goes on toto.
You know that's like the first,like say hello, give me an away
, right, well, but that's I mean, that happens and this is
(23:24):
something I was going to say Ireally liked about this book.
It's really fast paced and ityou find all of that out in the
first two to three chapters.
It sets the easy, quick read Ithink I read the whole thing in
like five hours yeah, that yeah,I mean, it was only it was less
than 300 pages yeah, good jobrecapping it, though.
Thank you, um.
(23:45):
And essentially, she, you knowit.
It fast forwards like aboutfour and a half years in the
future and she's still with thefiance, but you can tell the
dream did get to her, she shehasn't married him yet, and then
you end up finding out who thedream man is and it all kind of
unfolds, and so that's that'sall we'll say, just in case you
know, this makes you interestedenough to go pick up the book
and read it.
It's a really quick read, likeBritain I said.
(24:07):
It's entertaining for sure.
But one thing I noticed is thatit was written, or it was
published in March 2020.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I caught on to that,
too, that it was 2020.
I forget how, but I rememberbeing like, oh wait, when was
this made?
I feel like it.
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I feel like that's so
trippy, like she finished it
right before COVID.
It's published in the month ofCOVID and then in the book
they're predicting what life isgoing to be like in five years,
so it's 2025.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I just was like
reading it and I was like, oh,
this is just like a weird trippything that this lady, when she
yeah you know, didn't know whatwas actually gonna happen yeah,
there was something I feel likein the book that made me be like
, oh wait, this must have beenpre-COVID, I can't remember
exactly what it was, but butyeah, well, I feel like we kind
of have.
Mean, I think, if you want toread the book, maybe just stop
now the podcast, because how arewe going to talk about it?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, okay, just sign
off now.
We're going to give somespoilers, but we'll be back on
Wednesday, so just tune in thenand like us on social.
And like us on social.
Yeah, I guess.
Do you want to say how it ends?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Sure, yeah, so, the
guy Aaron, that's his name,
right?
Yeah, he ends up being her.
So she has her best friend.
What's the best friend's name?
Bell, bella, bella, yeah, bella.
So yeah, she grew up with thisbest friend and they're like
Bella ends up dating him andshe's like, oh, I'm like really
into this guy, like I guess shekind of like she hasn't had a
(25:33):
long relationship before butshe's finally found the one, and
it turns out to be aaron, theguy that the main girl dreamt,
slept with or whatever.
She's like all freaked out aboutthat, which I was like whoa,
how are they gonna get out ofthis?
But then it takes a little bitof a turn.
Bella ends up getting cancer,like bad cancer, and I think she
(25:55):
gets diagnosed.
She dies in like less than ayear.
So like she's like newly datingthis guy, aaron, who like
sticks around and they're likein love and blah, blah, blah,
and then at the end she, shepasses away and the main girl
sleeps with aaron, her boyfriend, and like she, oh, the whole
thing was just like about griefor something Like it wasn't love
(26:17):
she was feeling, it was grief.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, she said so
when she gets in the first
couple of chapters, when she isin her flash forward.
Basically, she says in thechapter there's this feeling.
I'm feeling this likeoverwhelming feeling, I can't
name it, I can't name it.
So the whole time you're kindof like wondering what it is and
it turns out that it's griefbecause she ends up having this
like affair or not affair, butthis one night with with Aaron
(26:39):
after the funeral of her bestfriend.
So you realize, like at thatpoint that it's not that she's
really in love with Aaron, it'sjust that she was overwhelmed by
her best friend's death.
Yeah, I think you go into thebook thinking it's going to be a
classic internal conflict, likeshe's going to have to choose
between the life that she shouldquote unquote have versus the
(27:02):
person she's really in love with.
And you think after the firstcouple of chapters that's really
what the book's going to beabout.
And I was surprised that that'snot what the book was about.
It's really about her and herbest friend, her.
You find out that the mainwoman what's her name?
Shoot what did we just say?
Danny?
So basically backstory Danny'sbrother dies in a car crash, a
drunken, a drunk drivingaccident, when she's a kid.
(27:29):
So you kind of you kind ofrealize, like the whole theme of
the book is like you want tocontrol life but but you can't.
You can't control like what'sgoing to happen.
So kind of live for now is what.
That's what I took away fromthe book.
So, yeah, I was.
I mean, it was so sad like Iwas definitely in crocodile
tears at some point.
I will say the kiss betweenAaron and Danny, like that
hookup, seemed very random to me.
(27:52):
I do not think that they builtup that relationship between the
two of them well enough towhere you would think that they
would actually hook up afterafter bella
Speaker 2 (28:00):
dies yeah, it wasn't
like they were like flirting
throughout the book and like ithad feelings for each other.
It was just yeah, it was likethey were upset so had sex with
each other.
I felt a little like tricked atthe end of the book.
That was what I was.
I liked the book, but I I feltlike I got tricked because I was
like wait.
So you told me this whole time,this whole dream that this was
(28:21):
about is like not, I don't knowwhat you've been saying.
It was the whole time.
But then I was glad she endedup getting like it seems like
they were, you know, teeing upthat she was going to get
together with that doctor.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, so it does end
up.
It definitely leaves on like ahopeful note.
Yeah, and there was one part inthe book so you kind of wonder,
in the flash forward Dani issaying how she's in a new
apartment and you're kind ofwondering, like how does this
apartment end up being hers?
Because she says in the flashforward that her closet has her
(28:54):
stuff in it, Like so she knowsshe lives there in this, in this
.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
And you come to find
out.
One of the parts that made mecry was that Bella, like as she
was dying, buys this apartmentfor Danny and renovates it and
gives it to her as a gift, andit's almost like she's taking
care of Danny and, and, whereasyou feel like roles a gift.
And it's almost like she'staking care of danny and, and,
whereas you feel like roles arereversed and it's always like
danny taking care of bella's.
So that was a really sweetchapter.
(29:19):
I was dying and I was like, ohmy god, I was bawling my eyes
out at that yeah, I know thatwas.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
That was another
thing about the book.
It was like I was a little bitblindsided by, like the, the sad
aspect.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I wasn't expecting
that going in all right.
Well, you kind of gave me aheads up.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You said it was sad,
but yeah, because I read it
right after demon copperhead.
I like quit demon copperheadbecause I was like this is the
saddest book I've ever wrotewritten.
I'm so depressed and I was like, oh, I'll start this in five
years.
It's a romance book, 250 pages,easy to read, and it was like
no childhood friend gettingcancer and dying in months well,
(29:57):
should we do like the like wehave for the movies and things.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Should we do a book
rating?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
one yeah one to ten.
Yeah well, you go first it wasokay.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Prose, fast-paced, um
, quick read, easy read.
I liked the characters and itmade me cry pretty heavily.
I'm going to give it like aseven five.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I was going to say
seven, we're aligned.
Yeah, I thought it was a goodbook.
The ending I was just like alittle bit like don't tricked.
