Chapter 1: Who is the sexiest man alive in 2024?
Yeah.
Jack Ryan, my bad. Similar.
Too many Jacks.
What are we reaching? I don't know who was flying to who, but he was flying back like every week just to be with his family. A good man.
I love to hear that. And that's sexy.
I have no issue with John Krasinski as a person. I just don't understand why in the year of our Lord 2024, he is the sexiest man alive. Like maybe in like 2009. You know what I mean? Who do you want to be? Why was Patrick Dempsey in 2023? Yes. I do. Joel Kim Booster, you're my sexiest man alive.
Wait, no, but Leia makes a good point. I kind of feel this way about the sexiest man every time where I'm just kind of like, wait, why? Because who was it last year? Patrick Dempsey. Patrick Dempsey.
Well, I mean, let's be honest. Don't be. Clearly.
But we were talking Grey's Anatomy when he was the thing, the guy, and he wasn't the guy of last year.

Chapter 2: What are the latest updates on The Golden Bachelorette?
No, I mean, it's only celebrities. Like Shelton is no actor. Okay.
Anyways, Benny Blanco, what? Basically, Benny Blanco shared his rules for being a sexy gentleman, or in other words, chivalry is not dead. So I'm going to go through the list of rules and you tell me if you think it applies. One, learn how to cook. Period. Two, first date should be experiences. Three, dress with confidence. That's because you're not... First dates should be good to know you.
That's an experience.
That's a good experience or a bad experience.
Okay. So three was dress with confidence. Four, self-care is a must. Five, welcome everyone into your home in parentheses with reason. Six, treat your mother like a queen. Agreed. Seven, gift giving is an art. And then he said, to me, the best way to do it is get creative, to listen to something they said in the past and bring that back as a memory. And then eight, say no to ghosting.

Chapter 3: Why was RHONY canceled, and what’s next for the Housewives?
What does he mean by say no to ghosting? He stole five from Natalie. He did. He stole five from every. It was seven. From women.
The gift giving is an art.
Yeah.
That was seven. I mean, yeah, I feel like that is my favorite thing to do is to be like randomly when I know Nick's probably not listening is to be like, God, that would be so cool as a gift. Yeah.
No, Natalie did that a couple weeks ago and then she bought it for herself.
Yeah, I did.
What was it?
Gift-giving is an art, and sometimes the best gift you can get is Christmas.
She's like, this would make a great gift for Christmas. And I was like, great. I heard that. I clocked it. And then she's like, I bought it.

Chapter 4: What’s the controversy surrounding Chapel Roan?
Relatable?
Leia or no? I actually found out through a blood test.
Accidentally? Boring. Like you went and got a cavity checked and you're pregnant?
Well, I was trying to take a medication and they needed to make sure I wasn't pregnant before I could take it. And... Yeah. Found out at a gas station. My doctor called and I was like, huh?
Question for you.
Yeah.
Well, or your husband. I'm curious. Because like, you know, when I found out, you know, I was like, oh, exciting, scary, whatever. And then there's like this weird, oh, well, nothing's really changed kind of thing at first because you're like, I guess we're pregnant. And then, you know, eventually you hear a heartbeat and things like that. But now that River is here.
In my mind, I feel like River's been in my life since I opened that drawer. You know, like since I've heard her first heartbeat, like does that, do you feel the same way?
wait explain when I think about opening that drawer when Natalie put the pregnancy test in there and surprising me like all the time like and I think about moments of her pregnancy all the time and like I feel like River was a part of our family like I you know since I opened that drawer now that I've met River like my brain goes back in a way and like it's not like when River was born she was with us it was more when I she was like instead of seeing in my mind she was born in a drawer yeah like you open that drawer and you see River

Chapter 6: How does pregnancy affect young mothers in Hollywood?
I mean, I don't know about that part, but she's she said before that it's a fashion statement that's also conventional because she has a condition where she doesn't have eyelashes, eyebrows. And that's why she has her like eyelash brand.
You think it's douchey to wear glasses, Nick?
No, sunglasses inside.
Just saying, what if they were transition lenses? Are you anti-transition lens?
Transition lenses are the opposite of douchey. Those are brave people.
Remember when Tom Sandoval wore his sunglasses on his podcast? I had transition lenses for a while.
You're brave if you wear transition lenses. That's the opposite of douchey.
That's confidence. Does that make me less basic? But it is crazy that during that whole, like, Rebecca rumor whole thing, Brynn chimes in and she's, like, verifies that they're an open couple.
They did it to catch her in a lie, that's why.
