Hold on, hold on.
Let me take a sip.
Look at you, festive girl.
It's Christmas week.
I got all my festive out yesterday.
I'm good.
You guys, my bank account is on fire.
I don't even look at it anymore.
I'm like, let me know when it stops working.
there's like christmas expenses you don't budget in that just occur like um cookies suddenly i'm like oh i gotta make ginger cookies gingerbread cookies and then i like remember that i need all the ingredients and then suddenly go to the grocery store and you're like well that was 55 dollars i didn't really budget in 120 on christmas cookies i'm like what did i what did why
yeah and then proceeded to buy a case of girl scout cookies yes and don't need them okay do you think they're doing this on purpose that they're like people are just blowing money so we're gonna get them out because boyfriend now boyfriend got visited by the neighbor and the next thing i know we have six well now there are four because he demolished two but we have six boxes and i was like i appreciate this but she knows what she's doing smart business woman
Oh, they absolutely know.
I know.
They're not stocking stuffers.
They're not going to make it.
We've already demolished a case of Girl Scout cookies.
Now there's a new one, and it's mostly Lily.
I'm like, no wonder why you're still sick.
Today is, by the way, National Cookie Day.
But also, when was the last time you had a vegetable?
Oh.
When was the last time you took your vitamins?
Also me.
When was the last time you got water?
When was the last time you had a good night's sleep?
Water.
So I was momming the whole way to the doctor this morning, just being irritated.
I was like, maybe less cookies and more sleepies.
Yeah.
It's that week.
It's definitely like, also the thing too, where I did, I finished all my Christmas shopping.
And so because I finished all my Christmas shopping, I'm suddenly motivated to buy more.
Yeah.
What do I do with my time?
I must buy more things.
The Amazon cart just keeps refilling and it's fine.
No, I've done zero Christmas shopping.
Zero.
My husband's done it all.
I'm not doing it.
At least, at least he's doing it and you're not, I would be worried that you like haven't started, haven't done anything an hour behind.
I'd be like, no, no, I just abdicated.
I'm done.
Goodbye.
If it was up to me, people would get nothing.
Is he the responsible spender, though?
Because I feel like Clint is the guy that's like, yeah.
Nope.
$500 Oculus.
This, that.
I'm like, what are we going to do next year?
They're like demented kings and queens.
These kids don't need anything.
They don't need it.
Money is no object until we're broke through June.
Yeah, our family goes a little bit overboard in the same way.
But a lot of it is like dumb stuff.
Admittedly, a lot of it is dumb stuff.
But, however, when I'm at Target and I'm getting some snacks and then I pass by the mini waffle maker in the shape of a snowflake, I decide that we need that.
And it's only $9.
You're like, but it was only $9.
But it was only $9.
And now I can sit in my house in Maine and make snowflake waffles.
Like, of course.
Now, mind you, it's going to take two hours to make 40 little ones, but it's fine.
Maybe I should get two so we can have two going.
Oh, wow, Tori.
It's a literal snowball effect.
Okay.
Yep.
It's Christmas week.
We're still recording.
So that's good.
You still have us.
I know.
Right.
We've been trying not to, we've been against us ourselves for a while, but we're here.
But we're here.
What's going on?
Should we get into?
Oh, no.
Horoscopes.
It's Monday.
Oh, yeah.
I definitely need a good horoscope because I'm just like still in this like funk right now.
All right.
Aries, you your friendships could be terminated quickly if disappointments occur.
Help children.
That might be a rewarding and challenging area for you this week.
Wow.
Right?
It was serious.
Your lucky day is Tuesday.
Don't piss off your friends and donate to Toys for Tots.
That's it.
Leave your temper at home.
Leave your temper at home.
Taurus, you need to be sure that you aren't in a present relationship because it's convenient for you.
Who was that?
Taurus.
This is not great.
Also says you're going to feel like a tired and rundown mess.
Thursday is a lucky day for you.
Gemini, you're going to be up and down emotionally.
Friday is your lucky day.
Cancer, the home environment will be unpredictable this week.
Sunday is your day.
Leo, it is a favorable time for real estate investments and money-making opportunities.
All of that will be successful.
Wednesday is the day for you.
Virgo, don't let opposition from those envious of your talents daunt your progress.
Thursday, lucky day for you.
Libra, let your boss know your goals and don't trust other people with information.
Friday is your best day.
Scorpio, you'd be wise to socialize with as many people as possible.
Don't exaggerate.
Sunday is your day.
Sagittarius, there might be a problem with a will or an insurance policy.
Don't expect romantic encounters to be lasting.
Wednesday.
One night stands only.
Yeah, right.
Capricorn, strong willpower will come to your rescue.
Travel should be on your mind.
Your honesty will only win you points, but also respect.
That sounds good for me, whatever that is.
We'll take it.
Friday is my day.
Yes.
I'm off.
I'm off to New York that day.
Finally, Pisces, you're going to be working quietly behind the scenes.
Your nerves are frazzled.
I did this to Aquarius.
True.
Oh, yeah.
I'll come back to you.
Okay.
Aquarius, you've got a problem holding onto your cash this week.
That's not hard to talk about.
I'm on the cusp, so this feels like.
A little bit of that and a little bit of work quietly behind the scenes and your nerves are frazzled.
That's true.
My anxiety's been off the charts.
Can you go back?
What are the dates to Taurus?
The dates?
Oh, what?
Lucky day for Taurus?
No, no, no.
The dates.
Do you have the dates?
Like, who?
Oh.
Yeah.
Cause I feel like boyfriend, not boyfriend is a Taurus.
And if his horoscope is telling when's his birthday, it's April 21st to May 20th.
Okay.
Yeah.
Great.
So your, your boyfriend, not boyfriend's a Taurus.
Yeah.
Which right.
Maybe boyfriend, not boyfriend is in, is in it for the convenience.
I am not a convenient human.
No, no, no.
Doesn't say that.
It says don't worry about that.
Oh, it does?
Okay.
Yeah, if you're in a present relationship because it's convenient.
You're not convenient, so it doesn't apply to you.
It couldn't possibly be applicable.
Right, no.
He's definitely got to work for that, not boyfriend status.
He does his damnedest for it.
He works real hard.
They made dinner last night, so it was fine.
All right.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Tacos.
Yeah.
Well, I have two Taurus bull girls and maybe it's different for guys, but they're a lot.
So good luck with that.
No, I think that tracks.
Okay.
All right.
So I guess we're going to start off like let's peel the bandaid.
We're going to just go with the headlines and like the salacious new stuff.
Perfect.
And also kind of just sad stuff.
Yeah.
Matt Perry's body had like super high levels of ketamine in it, which is really disappointing.
Yeah, I think.
in the wake of the things he said about ketamine in his book, didn't he recently say like, it's not something that I mess with, I don't like it.
And then it was in his body, but that I heard maybe that there was a potential that he was micro dosing to help with his other addictions.
Well, that's exactly it.
It's now becoming just regular situation like cannabis to deal with depression, anxiety, other kinds of drug use.
But it's like supposed to be under a doctor's supervision.
Like we're going to microdose you doing this and then they do therapy with it while you're on it.
It's not something like take this at home and feel better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would make me nervous for somebody who struggles with drugs too.
Right.
Take this.
But obviously that's not confirmed, but there was just a concept of like, well, maybe he was microdosing.
I don't know.
It's,
It just makes me sad only because, and now it's going to be under scrutiny for other people that it's really, really helping.
Like this is a really new therapeutic tool that is really starting to make some serious progress, especially with like PTSD veterans.
It's like, I just, it sucks because they're making progress.
Is it hallucinogenic though?
No, it's like a veterinarian tranquilizer.
It's just a tranquilizer.
It's supposed to like stop your fight or flight.
You're awake.
It's not like you're catatonic.
It's just that you're not feeling the immediate feels.
So yeah, I don't know.
It's an animal tranquilizer.
okay not great but no um at least he is not fighting that battle every day anymore very that's a positive spin seemed to be that he was suffering and really struggling and it's a day-to-day fight it's a minute-by-minute fight especially for people that have to deal with it in such an extreme way so i
very, very sad to see him go, of course.
But on one hand, incredible that he got to release his book and kind of earn some respect back and like really be open about his journey about it.
Yeah, back on pop culture's good side, so to speak.
Before he ended that struggle, I think he kind of rebuilt his legacy, you know, and I think that's a great thing.
So super, super sad.
I would rather have not have seen him go, but I'm glad that he's no longer struggling.
Yeah, it's just they're ruling it accidental.
I mean, it's not like he took too much ketamine.
He took too much ketamine in the pool and drowned.
So, I mean, he fell asleep in a pool.
That's just awful.
He wasn't at his own house, though.
He was at a friend's house, but there were people there.
I can't quite figure out.
Right.
The whole story stinks to me.
Yeah, agreed.
All right.
What else we got?
Tommy Lee accused of assault in a new lawsuit.
This is just a real fricking story.
I know.
I know.
But this is the thing that we were talking about, how the, there were a couple of limitations going on.
So we're going to start to see a lot more assault charges being filed as people.
Can you imagine like getting a jury and being like, yup.
Didn't even walk into the, but I didn't walk in all the way.
We know you.
That's that track.
We know you, Tommy.
Right?
Exactly.
So Mayim Bialik out as Jeopardy host.
Oh.
Completely.
Do they give a reason why?
No one liked her.
Can we just give it to Ken Jennings and move on?
They did.
Yeah, this is it.
So they just didn't like her.
They felt like she paused in weird spaces and took too long delivering the questions.
It wasn't rapid fire.
No.
So did we give her enough chance?
I don't really think I care.
Oh, they did.
Okay.
They did.
I think it was just kind of like, okay, we're done here.
But thank you.
Thanks for coming.
And also I did want to make mention of the things that happen when you get old.
Poor Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was enjoying himself on Friday night, having a roaring time at a concert, broke his hip, had to be hospitalized.
We don't bounce back the way we used to, even if you're a professional athlete.
Yeah.
This is a reminder as you're hanging out with your family and people are reminding you to do dumb things or maybe childish, foolish things as you, you know, get a few libations.
Your drinking is telling you that you can, but you in fact cannot.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
don't my favorite thing is like the week before thanksgiving all the southern counties and the police stations and whatever always put out statements that they're like this is your number one reminder to not deep fry your turkey because you will guarantee to do it wrong and everybody's gonna get hurt you're like right fair this is another one of those things don't whatever you think you can do don't
Yep.
Holiday parties are this week.
This is, once again, just your gentle reminder to remember that if you are doing it after a few drinks, you're not going to... It's a bad idea.
It's a bad idea.
Anything you think you can do, you can't.
Holiday parties at work.
Two drinks.
Get out.
Ours went kind of okay.
Is there anybody that had too much of a rip-roaring time at the company party?
No.
Me.
Me.
Yeah, but I guess besides you, everybody, it was a shockingly the group kind of kept it together for the group that we are.
Oh, yeah.
It was rather very low key.
It wasn't even that bad.
And even my sloppy wasn't that sloppy.
No, you were not that sloppy.
You are not.
Just lightly sloppy.
You were having fun.
Yeah, exactly.
We were all well-behaved.
It was kind of disappointing.
Well, that's what I was like.
For the group, though, you would think there would have been one or two.
Somebody, anybody, give me something.
Nothing.
I know.
Nothing.
What are you going to do?
Couldn't have been me.
Okay, so do we care about Demi Lovato being engaged to another human being?
How many engagements has this been?
I think this is actually only her second, but I've seen her getting ripped on the internet for being engaged multiple times.
I think this is really it, which I feel bad about because Ariana Grande has had more engagements under her belt and yet we're destroying Demi Lovato.
Like let the girl be happy.
Well, to be fair, Ariana Grande did finally go through with it only to be divorced or getting a divorce.
And she's living with her, with the other guy.
Oh, yeah.
I think.
What's his name?
I don't know.
Another guy who's married.
Yeah.
She was seen out.
He's like an actor, a Broadway actor.
I'm sure our listeners are screaming his name at whatever speaker they're listening to us.
I doubt that.
He's weird looking.
But I think he's like an incredibly talented actor.
But he's on some Broadway thing right now.
And she went to the premiere, which I thought was interesting.
Ethan Slater?
Yes.
Yes.
She's publicly supporting him.
So I think they're like very close, like live together, do their thing.
I don't know.
I don't know.
He is not cute.
No, he's super weird looking.
She is weird taste.
I have to act out of this.
I don't even like looking at him.
She is super weird taste.
But yeah, but I think he's talented.
I think like that's her thing.
like the guy that's really good at what he does.
Like whether it's Pete, you're really good at comedy or whether it's your, your realtor, he's really good at selling luxury homes.
Whether it's like, I think her thing is like guys that are good at the best.
Yeah.
Regardless of how they look.
Yeah.
She does not have a type.
No, no.
That type is like, I'll try it.
No, not for me.
Um, but Demi Lovato.
Thank you.
Next.
So bad.
I had to.
I thought this was super interesting.
She was... Wasn't she in... Not a full transition, but she went... Oh, I don't want to get it wrong.
She was changing her pronouns at some point and was pretty ambiguous with them, I believe, for a while.
And then she went back to being... Using female pronouns.
And now she's engaged.
So I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
And I...
I don't want to speculate.
And of course, I think you can be you can identify as whatever you want.
And of course, she just uses she and they pronouns.
So but I think at one point she was trying to use just they and stay away from any sort of feminine pronouns and then kind of gave up.
But I wonder about the timing of that.
It's interesting to get into a stable relationship where you feel loved and supported and protected and then maybe able to identify with your more feminine side as opposed to having to be independent and defensive and very alone in the world and feeling like you don't identify with that feminine side.
So just an interesting take on it and wondering if those two things are related.
But also, of course, I say this again,
regardless of what your pronouns are how you identify you should be able to find love and affection and and stability and partnership and and all that i just wonder there's something is this person i don't know i don't really think we know i think i've been dating for a while though he's not a bad looking guy he just no he has neck tattoos that's something about neck tattoos for me i'm always like yeah but face and neck tattoos but it lands for her yeah
It's another Disney Channel star gone.
Trust me, we got time for one.
We got one we're going to talk about coming up in just a little bit.
What's her face?
Lizzie McGuire had another baby.
Obviously, her name is not Lizzie McGuire, but didn't she just have another baby?
I have no idea.
I think so.
I don't have a searchable device, but I'm pretty sure.
Today's episode, we had to Google everything.
Turns out while we're talking about it.
I'm like, let's see McGuire.
What's Hillary Duff?
Yeah.
Another one.
I think she's now another baby.
Then who does have another baby?
I don't know.
There's a, they're always having babies.
Somebody had, I'm going to look it up.
It wasn't Lizzie McGuire though.
I don't think Hillary Duff had another one recently.
Well, um, Sean Johnson did not Johnson, whatever.
Yeah.
Sean Johnson.
Oh, wait, maybe she did.
I guess she did.
And then got COVID.
Okay.
So Sean Johnson, the Olympian had a baby and Hillary Duff, Lizzie McGuire had a baby.
All right.
Congratulations.
Anyway.
Not only that, but she's dating or is married to Matthew Koma, who I love his music.
But she had COVID after taking the whole family to Disney.
So like gives birth, goes to Disney, gets COVID.
All of that sounds wretched.
No kidding.
That whole line.
I feel bad for you.
I'm sorry.
All right.
What else we got?
Bad Bunny breakup.
Kendall Jenner.
They've been dating for a year.
Mm hmm.
Think they just grew apart?
Did we get a reason?
No, no reason yet, but she decided to go have dinner with the Biebers in Aspen after her Bad Bunny split.
It's not like a regular breakup.
Like when I'm feeling bad and I just need to go to my girlfriend's house.
No, this one has to fly to Aspen to cry to the Biebers about her breakup.
It just makes me laugh.
It's so grand scale.
I don't want to make this up, but wasn't there some rumor at one point in time with Kourtney and Justin Bieber?
Oh, maybe.
I feel like that was a thing at one point in time.
So that's an interesting, of course, not a real thing, but.
No.
I wonder.
Or maybe I'm just, today's just the day of Tori making up stories could also be a thing.
No, that's not true.
I'm sure.
I'm sure there was a situation, but I've never been locking that down for a while.
Oh, beyond.
Yes, of course.
I've never been to Aspen.
Me either.
Do you have a desire to go to Aspen?
Not really.
I'm not a skier.
I think it's more like a luxury skiing situation.
Like there's a couple of places in Utah, like Deer Valley, like the mountain itself is boring and it's all like everybody drinks move on the chairlift.
Yeah.
You know, it's very schmoozy.
And I don't know if Aspen's similar, but I feel like it is.
Colorado, Aspen, Colorado.
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
Um, in another warmer client though, climate though.
Um, did you see the videos of Camila Cabello and Drake?
No.
So,
she was sitting on like a high bar, like half wall situation.
And he was below her.
He wasn't like in between her legs.
They were just like having a conversation.
I got no energy from it.
Okay.
Of course it's blowing up the internet.
And I think they were seen like having a couple of drinks outside and
it gave me no idea if they were together, if they were separate, it was kind of collabing.
Yeah.
Maybe they were collabing.
That would make perfect sense to me.
Yeah.
Situation.
And then we're going to go out and have a couple of drinks and hang around and we're friends because we're in the same industry.
It did not give me any, like we're secretly together vibes.
It gave me no romantic energy.
It even gave me a little like,
LOL, we ended up in the Caribbean at the same time.
Yeah.
Do you want to get a drink and talk about maybe doing a collab at some point?
Kind of a thing.
But, of course, made headlines.
Well, of course.
I mean, that's what happens when you're anywhere in anyone else's vortex in Hollywood, right?
Yeah.
Two Hollywood people that, whatever, two singers that are near each other.
I wouldn't hate that.
And are single.
Yeah, I wouldn't hate that pairing, though.
I don't know.
I think Drake needs to grow up.
Yeah, but he won't.
So if he won't, I don't hate that pairing.
I guess.
I don't know.
I just don't really.
I love him.
You do or you do not love him?
I like his music.
Yeah.
But I think there was something that happened with him and Rihanna.
Like there's just some, the way he behaves and like the womanizing, the constant womanizing.
It's just, it's, I find that unattractive and doesn't make me like you.
For sure.
Someone's going on there or you're getting accused of something going on there or your head is just so big and you're not paying attention to how you're acting and behaving, which is also something going on there.
That being said though, I think he's really talented.
Yeah.
He was an actor.
There's no denying it.
And then created like his, his stardom and, and his music scene.
He's one of those that I, I don't know if he can dance.
Somebody can tell me like, is he a male?
Well, I just mean like, is he a male triple threat?
Oh, no, I don't think he actually has a dance.
I'm sure he can do dance steps, but I wouldn't like I wouldn't call him a dancer.
It's not like Jason Derulo.
Oh, no.
They're doing dance shows now.
That's also king, right?
Absolute king.
yeah oh usher usher's got some moves too he could like really sing i don't know if he can act where is there like a male equivalent to a triple threat we have in pop culture right now is there anything that comes to mind that you're like you can dance sing and act no but that doesn't mean they're they're not out there i feel like hugh jackman maybe oh hugh jackman is a good one yeah i think that would be the only yeah probably
what about Justin Timberlake although his dance moves are questionable it depends I haven't seen him dance fairly recently he goes viral for doing awful freestyle during his concerts and I also don't want to give him any attention because he does not deserve Jessica Biel but Hugh Jackman is a really good one and Zac Efron yep so there we go we answered our own questions what's wrong with Zac Efron's face though does anybody know
I don't know.
Maybe he's like along the lines of Amanda Bynes right now with the, she got her eyelids, the blepharoplasty.
Everybody's doing that.
This started on social.
Yeah.
I don't know why, like get rid of like the wrinkle that's on your eyelid.
Sorry.
It's there.
If you're doing it because you can't see any longer, like it's impairing your vision as you age.
I had one of my friends actually get this surgery because he couldn't see anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
it was painful for him.
So we got it done.
It wasn't like so aggressive, but I don't think it was one of those things for her.
I think she just wanted it done.
She also has face tattoos and no matter what she does to her eyes, I'm never going to be able to pay attention to anything other than that weird heart on her face.
right and also just quit her podcast she was doing really well with it like really really it was getting record numbers because she couldn't book Drake this was the excuse which is why I put these two stories touching each other rolling into the other one because you know Drake's off jet setting with Camila Cabello not true but she couldn't get real guests and she cited Drake Post Malone and no I wouldn't if I was the other white boy rapper that everybody mocked Jack Harlow
Yes.
You got it.
I'm vanilla baby.
Um, that's a great song though.
Anyway.
Um,
it's fascinating to me because I think as a star, I would say the same thing.
Like I'm not touching you with a 10 foot pole room, like remain stable and get really good at what you're doing.
And then maybe I will allow my brand to touch yours, but you are so like, I don't care how famous you are.
You are not, you have not had enough redemption for me to allow my brand to come near you.
But also she's refusing to talk about her mental health and anything to do with her former acting.
Um,
So it's like, okay, you're blocking people from talking about this and this.
You're not talking about this and this.
And then you're trying to command these people to be real on your podcast when you're not being real yourself.
She needs to open up the podcast, explain to us why she got that face tattoo and how many drugs she was on when she did it.
Or else we're not buying it.
I'm not buying it.
Give us the information.
Go backwards.
talk to us about everything else in your life yes like what's it like to be in a pop culture moment where like she's the man is coming back in a huge way people are watching this movie again they're loving it we're talking about it we're making references to it again this whole moment and here you are a completely different person you look completely different you're acting completely different from who you were at that point in time we want to understand
I'm all about people changing their station, but she's not even on a frequency.
No.
I don't really know what's going on there.
I don't think most people do.
I wish her the best.
It's just like Brittany with her knives videos.
We wish you the best.
It's been kind of quiet on the Brittany front.
Which is scary.
Yeah, I just feel like her phone got taken away.
Finally, her people are doing their job.
Merry Christmas to all.
Oh, my God.
Yep.
Is that it?
Yeah, right.
All right.
