Chapter 1: What are the vibes of the episode?
It was actually way worse than that because I started talking about my weekend and then he just looked up but looked a little tired and I was just like, I'm not used to it. So it just jarred me and I was like... It's very early right now. You look really tired and I was like, oh my god, that's not nice.
Most people are not up by now.
It's the same time as it always is when we record.
But most people are not up by 8 o'clock. Who are most people? Most Americans.
that i talked to outside about that well we do i mean nick gets up early with river she wakes up she starts yapping in her crib at like 5 a.m and he and yeah thank you nana and we listen to it and she plays by herself in the crib now and you can hear her talk to herself does she sleep with toys or is it like a mobile i like to put a new stuffed animal in her crib every night so when she wakes up it's like a surprise there's a different stuffed animal
So she's in the stuffed animal phase.
Does she have a favorite? We're entering it. She does have a favorite and it's so funny because... Is it the avocado one? No, she does not love the avocado one.
She's not an LA girly. No.
But she does love this giraffe that I got her in Nashville and I was like, River, do you want this? And she paid zero attention to it and my sister was like, she does want it. And so... Actually, my sister bought it, not me. But Amanda got her the stuffed animal and she could not care less about this giraffe. At all. Hated it. Would not look at it. Would not play with it. And now obsessed.

Chapter 2: What are the household headlines discussed?
From my experience anyways.
From my experience. Okay, interesting. I'm so sorry you went through that.
Perfect.
Yes. Maybe.
Do I look tired? I don't think so.
I don't think you look tired.
You've woken up since.
Oh, yeah. Sierra's like, after I put that concealer under your eyes, you look great.
A little hyaluronic acid. You're a good girl.

Chapter 3: What did Ego Nwodim share about SNL?
Do you skip lines?
Do I skip lines?
Define skip lines.
Like at a park?
Or to board a plane?
Like a theme park.
Oh, okay. Like as a mother, you're saying? No, just as a human being.
This just came out of nowhere, this question of like skipping.
Well, I saw this not even, we didn't even have this in household headlines, but apparently the airlines are testing a new system to sound an alarm if you board before your designated group. I thought they do that already. No. I love that. They scare you into it.

Chapter 4: What controversies surround Zach Bryan?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Game one, Eagles at Cowboys. We have the Eagles won. We picked the Cowboys.
Yeah. Someone did DM me and they were like, you have to stop picking the Cowboys.
Like, y'all pick them every time and you have to stop. It's almost as if I have been trying to manipulate everybody into hating the Cowboys as much as me this entire time. Is that you that DM'd me?
I have burners.
I have burners. Yeah, so we lost that in vibes. Eagles did demolish the Cowboys like 34 to 6.
But we won the other one.
We did. The Vikings did beat the Jaguars. So it's 1 and 1. Vibes is currently at 7 and 13. Thank you. I think we need to hear it. And knowledge is 11 and 8. 7 and 13. That's not too bad.
You know, speaking of vibes, though, we can give a shout out for this weekend's super vibe hero, Ricky Persol. I believe I'm saying his name correctly. I apologize, Ricky, if I'm not. Do you know who Ricky Persol is? Ricky is a rookie for the San Francisco 49ers.
Okay, Rook.

Chapter 5: How was the RHOSLC reunion addressed?
Australian breakdancer, Regan, who scammed her way into the Olympics.
Because last week it was a headline.
Who never was breakdancing. Well, she was. But now she's not not breakdancing.
Well, she said she's going to still do community jams. I'm still going to get down. But in terms of those elite competitions and the Olympics, which, by the way, breaking is not even in the Olympics. Not anymore. Because of her. I don't really see myself competing. It's not me that's retiring. It's Ray Hadley.
And for context, last week we talked about this on Pop, but last week there was a headline of Ray Gunn's retiring. And the whole bit has been she's got breakdancing removed from the Olympics.
That's not a bit. It's true.
It's what happened. She gave it a lot of publicity.
She also made it kind of laughable, which I feel like that's like one thing you don't want to do to an Olympic sport is make a mockery of it.
And there's all these videos of Australian kids being awesome at breakdancing who will never be able to pursue their dream because Ray Gunn thought of Ray Gunn.

Chapter 6: What insights were shared about the Grammy nominations?
Sister Arc 1 is a classic.
There should be a Housewives with nuns. They could never, though. I know.
Secret Lives of Nun White. Yeah.
They can't get married, right?
Secret Lives of Sister Nuns. I mean, they made the sound of music, so...
that's have you seen it who hasn't seen the sound of music i've seen sound of music edelweiss hills are alive 13 going on 30 yeah like a right 16 going on 17 yeah gotta watch sound of music yeah okay but sister act two
Gwyneth Paltrow, transitioning us here, needs to watch Sister Act because... So she had her, like, intermittent fasting diet that, like, took the world of, like, bone broth and apples or whatever it was.
Yes, yes. That's her daughter's name.
Bone broth?

Chapter 7: What are the reactions to the RHOC reunion?
Bone broth would be such a beautiful name for a baby girl. I was like, which one?
Could have been either one with Gwyneth Paltrow.
The thing is, she's making headlines now because she was seen in New York City chowing down on a steak and ice cream. Good for her. Off of she, like, took the world being like, only eat this.
Well, but... But it wasn't, it was like, you know, it was a diet. Diets are meant to be broken, you know?
It was an intermittent fasting. But wouldn't you think your body can't handle, this is my own brain, she's eating nothing and she's going to eating a steak?
She might have a little bit of a tummy ache. It's a Wagyu French dip sandwich. Ooh. Classic sea salt fries and a Samoa sundae. I mean, it sounds fantastic.
Do you think Gwen and Paltrow would go to Cantor's with me?
What's Cantor's? Oh my God.
Cantor's? Deli? What?

Chapter 8: What are the key takeaways from the episode?
Like, oh!
Hey, maybe try chilling out.
Speaking of content, did you see that Paul Mescal? So he was in Normal People and now he's in Gladiator 2. He basically compared content and films to two different things. Basically saying, over the last few years, people have been talking about films as content. That's a filthy word. It's not content. It's fucking work. Well, work is content.
And basically, he's kind of drawing the dichotomy between Instagram influencers and doctors.
I don't think it's an elitist to value art as art.
Yeah, but who is to decide what is art or work? Because he's not even talking about art. He's talking about work.
He's just being snobby is what it is. Because it's like you're saying that Instagram art or like art that's not in a theater is not art.
Well, he calls it a filthy word. Yeah, there's people that make really great quality content that might as well be in theaters on social media. And that's pretty much saying that because they do it at home. Or because they're not like that. And they are getting paid to do it. It is their job. So I'm like, however, like, I don't know.
I don't think you can compare what is content versus because the way that he's saying it, he's talking about like, get ready with me or like something as if like trying to cheapen it where I'm like, there are people who make amazing content that like you're never going to see in a movie theater.
