How do you get someone to stop stealing confidential information at work? Apparently… you bite them. 😂
This week on We Need 2 Talk, we finally get the full story behind Christy’s infamous workplace biting incident — including why she bit her boss, how her mother responded, and the unbelievable way the story came back years later at a business lunch.
Then we get into everything we're watching right now: the explosive return of Lioness, the new season of Ted Lasso, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Buccaneers, The Shards, The Waterfront, My Life with the Walter Boys and more. We debate which shows are worth sticking with, which ones we've officially abandoned, and why some series take WAY too long to get to the good stuff.

It's another very chaotic, very honest, very We Need 2 Talk episode.
This week on We Need to Talk, we recap Christy's biting. The Lioness season three starts off with a bang. And do people give you the ick? Did you get a haircut?
SPEAKER_00I don't know what's supposed to do with my hair in this humidity. Forget it. Because the second you go outside, it's disastrous. It's terrible. I know. There's nothing you can do about this. I wonder what people do who live in places that are always humid. Like Florida. Like what do your Floridian friends do for their hair?
SPEAKER_01I mean, she keratins it, but I mean still, I don't even know. Like all the keratin in the world is not gonna help.
SPEAKER_00I have a lot of Florida friends. We should ask them what they do about their humidity hair. You're in a different location. I have to be. I have no internet. So I'm using my laptop and a hot spot on my phone to power this conversation. What happened to your internet? The house next to us is a rental. The neighbors moved out, new ones moved in, and when they the cable people came, somebody cut our line. So annoying. So we needed an appointment. Well, first of all, we're gonna come between 2 and 5. Okay, great. Rich couldn't go to the gym. They show up at 6 30. It's like what the fuck? So there's that. Then it's fixed. Then we have a storm on Friday and knocks out the internet for now. It's Sunday.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, terrible.
SPEAKER_00And we're getting texts that say, please be patient. We're working on your area. We'll be up soon. Every two hours, I've been getting that for two days.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00It's insanity. I don't understand what's going on. Oh my gosh, the other thing that was really weird was I had an appointment for months because my driver's license is expiring to go to DMV to get the real ID new driver's license.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00I get a confirmation. We drive to the lower eye to DMV. We're pulling in. Rich goes, where are all the cars? Oh, I don't know. Maybe we're just here at a good time. So we park and we go to the door, and there's a cop sitting there, a couple people. And he's like, Yeah, we're down. We're closed. You should have gotten a cancellation. I go, I have a confirmation. I don't have a cancellation. And he goes, Well, what time is your appointment? It was like 10 to 1. I go, my appointment's at 1.15. He's like, Oh, you're gonna get a cancellation any minute. I go, but my appointment's now. He's like, Well, we're closed. Nothing you could do. I go, oh my God. So I never get the cancellation until 140, which is after my appointment. So I leave, but I am gonna be away, and my driver's license expires on my birthday, and you need a valid driver's license to get a real ID. Yeah, I know I did it. So now what? In the email of the cancellation, it says that I will get special treatment even if I don't have an appointment at another DMV. So we're getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to drive to Oakland, New Jersey to get me a driver's license.
SPEAKER_01And I hope they take me. It literally took like five minutes to get the real I day. The process.
SPEAKER_00But did you have an appointment? Yeah. Because now I don't have an appointment. There's no appointments until after I get back. But if I do it after I get back, I don't have a valid driver's license. Oh my God.
SPEAKER_01Terrible. It's ridiculous. Good morning, everyone. I don't even know. Did the show start already? Good morning. Good morning. I don't know if this show started, but we're venting about you can't even deal anymore. Life's problem. We got real problems here. We got no internet. Thank God we have water. And booze. Don't forget that. I got hammered last night.
SPEAKER_00I have a little bit of a headache.
SPEAKER_01God, I went to bed so late. The late, the late nights, and they just don't work out well for me. Like 2 a.m.
SPEAKER_00You went to bed at 2 a.m.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Why?
SPEAKER_00What were you doing till 2 a.m.?
SPEAKER_01I don't know. And I'm tired, and my cat, my cat doesn't understand time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00See, Timmy wants breakfast.
SPEAKER_01Timmy's down to six lives. You start with nine, and he now has six. He flew out the window again.
SPEAKER_00Again?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Was Jackson there? No, no dog involved. He just felt like jumping out a window.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_01My sister's working in one of the rooms. The dog's here for a week. So he's been basically locked to the upstairs. He climbs onto the windowsill and she opens a window for him and he's laying in the sun. He loves this shit. But he's not thin. You know, none of us are thin. And I guess it's like he's he's turning over. He pushed onto the window. And I blame Ed because clearly, because clearly these windows aren't fucking in right. Didn't you just get new windows? No, no. We need new windows.
SPEAKER_00But you know, he told me you were getting new windows.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he tells you everything fence, windows. We don't have these 20 grand projects. So anyway, I hear this loud noise, and then my sister comes down the stairs, and she said, Timmy flew out the window. I'm screaming. He had to hit like a bush coming down. He could have been seriously hurt. So Ed goes running outside and he was fine. He wasn't hurt, actually. I don't know how. He wasn't hurt. But we're down to six lives. We don't have much. I expect. Timmy, stay inside. It's really not great out there. But I blame Ed. He's like, the window wasn't in right. I don't know what the fuck happened. Been a weekend, man. Is Brother Paul in Miami? Brother Paul's in Florida. Yeah, last night he was in Miami.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he looked like he was having fun, but I was wondering where Jackson is. Jackson is with his grandma. Grandma.
SPEAKER_01Jackson doesn't want to go outside because it's fucking hot.
SPEAKER_00Too hot for Jackson.
SPEAKER_01Right. So she's having trouble getting him outside, but I don't want to go outside either.
SPEAKER_00So I think nobody wants to go out right now. It's too hot.
SPEAKER_01My hair is not looking good, and I don't know what to tell everybody. Yeah, here we are. And I'm sweating. It's hot in this basement.
SPEAKER_00I'm hot right now. I don't know why I'm drinking tea.
SPEAKER_01It's making the hen's in the basement. Right. I'm drinking coffee. It's really not good. You don't have no cocktail this morning? I just went to bed. I literally just went to bed. So no, I just uh I put my cocktail down from the night, made my coffee. Fucking crazy.
SPEAKER_00All right. How was your treatment yesterday? Okay, so we did this thing. It's called a wave bed. I've never heard of this before. We got this thing in the mail, and it says it'll help your spine, it'll help your neck, all these years of sitting. It's supposed to be good for you. And it was 38 bucks. And I said to Rich, Do you want to do it? He's like, Yeah, well, I'll do it. So we go and you get put on this bed, and they strap your feet into this thing, and you uh wear the heated mask, they put a blanket on you, and the foot part starts rocking really slowly. But you can feel it, it's like fixing your spine, and then it goes faster and faster, and then when that gets fast, the table starts to go up to 30 degrees. So you're sort of slanted and it's doing this, doing this, and you're shaking it, you're shaking, and it does that for 35 minutes. And then when you're done, does it feel good or are you nauseous? No, it felt really good. And then when you're done, you go to this other table and it vibrates your whole body to get your blood circulating. And when they stop, it feels like amazing, like this crazy sensation, almost like the blood is above you. I don't know, it's crazy. It was the weirdest thing I ever did. And then when you're done with that, the lady comes over and she takes this theragon on steroids and she does like a five-minute back massage thing. So it was $38 each. Supposed to be $67. If you buy one, $38 each. So the guy says, That seems cheap, though. Even for the 67, I thought it was cheap. Yeah, me too. But then it was $38. So then the guy goes, super nice guy. His name's David. And he says, if you buy a package of four for $200, which would make the four sessions $50 each, I'll give you the ones you had today for free. So basically six of them for $200 is $33. How's this guy gonna make any money? Makes no sense. The math doesn't make sense. Was it in like it's in a very weird location? It's in an office building in like Suite 501. You go into Suite 501 and it's like all these beds and music and tea and shit. And it was really good. We definitely are going back. I feel really good today. It was just odd, like I never heard of this before. That's kind of cool. It was called a wave bed. I've never heard of it. No, never. It's supposedly big in China. We just get like a fucking flyer in the mail.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I'll try anything. I'm retired. You're retired. I'll do anything. They're retired. You was cracking me up. I know. It's this flyer in the mail.
SPEAKER_00I say yes to everything. When can you come? I don't know. Monday's great. Saturday 10 is great. Everything's great. That's amazing. I'll try anything. I got a lot, a lot, a lot of texts about the biting.
SPEAKER_01Because let me just say this. I said it live as it was happening last week. You don't just make a casual fucking statement about how you bit someone and expect everything to just continue. Like I stopped the show. I pointed out that you bit someone, right? But yes, of course, I got texts too. What do you mean she bit someone? I'm like, I don't know what to tell you. She's had a lot of therapy. We're better now. She's not gonna bite you if you see her.
SPEAKER_00Let me just say this, people. I've only done it once. It's not like I'm a biter, no.
SPEAKER_01But most people have done it zero to run. There's no scenario in my life as an adult where I would have bit someone. Well, you were an adult. You were an adult. You weren't then.
SPEAKER_00No, I was 23. Yeah. Adult. All right. So I guess very quickly, I need to explain it so that everybody's short, very short and short. Back in the day when we went to work, there was no social media, so you had to talk to each other. And we would have lunch with each other. Wow. People would have lunch and you would all eat together. And so back then, all the assistants, every lunch period, were given a question and we had to survey our coworkers, and then we'd sit at lunch and go over the answers. And your buyer gave you the question. So my question, when it was my turn, because we rotated, was the age at which you lost your virginity. The way I did it was I had the buyer's list of everybody's name, and I just went, Do you want to be in the lunch question today? They said yes or no. And I said, I'm not going to say anybody's name, just the ages. So one woman who is a very annoying person in general and in the business, everybody knows her as an annoying person. Okay. She tried to grab the list from me that had everybody's names and ages of when they lost their virginity. And I was fighting with her because it was private, and I couldn't get her to not take it unless I bit her. So to protect the innocent, I had to bite somebody. And she was my boss at the time. This crazy lunatic told on me and called my mom and said that your daughter's an animal and you need to pay for me to get a rabies shot.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00All right.
SPEAKER_01One thing at a time. Obviously, I would have told on you too. Of course I bit her. I mean, I get it. Right. How did she call your mom?
SPEAKER_00How did she get your mom's phone number? I don't even know, but to my mom's credit, my mother said, best ever. If my daughter bit you, she must have had a good reason.
SPEAKER_01Send me the bill. You know what? Right. Right. She must have had a good reason if she bit you. Exactly. And you didn't get fired. I didn't get fired. Tell everybody you did fire.
SPEAKER_00I did not get fired. And Sharon Lalick, best boss ever, calls me into her office. And she says, just like Captain Sandy, I can't believe I'm saying this, but did you bite this person? And I said, Yes, I did. And she said, I don't even want to know what. But can you promise me it won't happen again? And I said, I'll try.
SPEAKER_01Oh my God.
SPEAKER_00But everybody knew how annoying this woman was. So she got it. But Sharon, so she didn't fire me. She didn't even report me. She didn't write me up. She didn't put me on pip, nothing. She just said, okay, just don't do it again. But then years later, two jobs later, I'm at a beautiful luncheon at the water club. Remember the water club? I was at a beautiful luncheon at the water club. And I'm with a new boss at that luncheon. And that woman who I bit was at the luncheon. And she comes over to me, like, Christy, hi. Oh my god. Oh, this is your new boss. And she goes, Yeah, no, she bit me years ago.
SPEAKER_01I'm like, don't freaking tell my brand new boss that I bit her years ago. I mean, you deserve it. It was ridiculous.
SPEAKER_00If you ever met this woman, you would know why I bit her.
SPEAKER_01She's biteable. It's just the craziest thing. But yes, all right, so you got it, listeners. Okay, listeners, that's the story. But again, we paid for a lot of therapy. I'm over it. And she's over it. She's not biting anybody. She hasn't been at she hasn't bit anybody in 30 years.
SPEAKER_00I have a clean record. It's been expunged from my record.
SPEAKER_01Right. You're gonna get a real ID, and there'll be no sign of biting anywhere. Right.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so that's it.
SPEAKER_01So mad about the fucking Zach Brown cruise giveaway because I'm going to see Zach Brown. And why couldn't I be at the concert when there was a cruise giveaway?
SPEAKER_00Okay, but here's the thing: why Boston of all the towns in the world? Why would he choose our biggest nemesis? Boston, Fenway Park, to give away 35,000 cruises. Why Boston?
SPEAKER_01And I know it's like a collapse. Margaritaville, it's fine. Yeah, we get it. And he's not paying for all of it. But it's like if I'm in the audience, I'm fucking psyched. It's a really good giveaway.
SPEAKER_00I'm not a cruiser though. I've never been on a cruise ever. Have you?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah, but as a young adult, my first trip with my friends. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Like a carnival cruise.
SPEAKER_01Like it never went on.
SPEAKER_00I feel like cruises would freak me out. I don't like to be I don't like people enough.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't like people. And I don't like to be trapped.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I don't like to be trapped and also a lot of germs and things on cruises. And then you get those viruses and I don't want a virus. I don't want to be stuck on a boat. I'm so nervous about time and being late that if I took an excursion and then they said, Oh, you have to be back on the boat at three o'clock, I'd be like, oh, we need to leave at one to be back at three. So I would be so nervous. I agree. I agree. I don't like that idea. And also I don't trust my willpower of food because everybody tells me when you're on a cruise, there's food and drink everywhere. I would eat all of it and drink all of it. And then I'd get sick and then I wouldn't be able to go on the excursion.
SPEAKER_01I wouldn't even like the fact when you go to one of those towns that you have to get there by boat. Yeah, I don't like that either. Fire Island or the Cape or something. I need to get out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I get it. We need an escape route at all times.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I don't want to rely on anybody else's timelines. Right. Right. It's just not for me.
SPEAKER_01Plus, I also like to eat and I like to go to restaurants. If you're taking me somewhere, then I want to be able to experience restaurants wherever you're taking me. I don't want to be on the boat eating with the captain at eight o'clock.
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_01Unless it was Captain Sandy. Unless it was Captain Sandy, who's badass.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I love her.
SPEAKER_01Love it. And it's gonna be a collab of Summer House. But I don't know. So did you watch it when they did it with the Real Housewives of I've never watched Summer House at all? No, the collab. I think it was Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. They went on the boat.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_01They went on a below deck. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Not Captain Sandy boat. I don't know which boat. Not Captain Lee or Captain Sandy. Was it the the hot guy?
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I gotta look it up. I don't think remember seeing it. That's why I was like, I don't remember. Even though I don't watch that real housewives, I would have known. So what does that mean?
SPEAKER_00The people from below deck are gonna be in the summer house? No, the summerhouse has to be on the boat. Okay. Yeah, which would be so fun. Well, for you, I don't know who the summer house people are.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you know them. You see them. It's that whole scandal. Like she's oh, Amanda's fired, but Kyle and Sierra, the girl who was on the bio.
SPEAKER_00I still know who they are, but I don't know their saga.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, it's gonna be great. So excited about it. I love when Bravo does that. Did you see this whole thing now on below deck? They get rid of Luke, who just done the sheets, and then Nate throws his back out. Yeah, and then he has to leave. They're down people. Yeah, this Captain Sandy, I feel bad for her. She's having a rough one.
SPEAKER_01But they're good. These guys are good.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they're good at their jobs, and the chef is amazing.
SPEAKER_01I went to a restaurant last week, and it's on the water in Greenport, and all of these yachts were everywhere. Oh, really? And I was staring at it because it was huge. I'm looking at the deck ends and oh, like they were that big that they had a staff? Oh, yes, staff. And I'm looking around the restaurant. I'm trying to figure out who's eating at this restaurant is on one of those boats. You can usually figure it out because they they look bougie, right? Or they're speaking another language. Yeah, staring at everybody.
SPEAKER_00I never thought about below deck being on Long Island.
SPEAKER_01Well, we have a lot of boats that come in like from the Bahamas, from the Virgin Islands, and then they pull in a green port, and then I guess the people have dinner or in the deck hands are getting supplies and washing the boat, and I'm watching it. Well, it could be Jalen and Josh, who are fucking all over the Hamptons.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I saw that. I follow them.
SPEAKER_01Why? I'm not going to Montauk, so it's not like I'm gonna run into them. They're so close. Why wouldn't you just go and stalk them a little bit? Montauk's far.
SPEAKER_00Everything's far out there.
SPEAKER_01Everything's far.
SPEAKER_00Everything's far. I'm getting there now and getting back. I went to see my friend Diane to help her do some organizing because she needed my help. And it took two and a half hours to get from her house to my house.
SPEAKER_01I was with these people the other night. They don't listen to this podcast, so it's okay. And I'm not saying anything wrong, but they live by the Lenova. Okay. So I said, Wow, how long did it take for you to get here? And she says, Oh, we well, we actually were in the Jersey Shore for a couple of days. I said, Oh, still far, but not as far. And she's like, Yeah, I was looking up traffic, and it was five and a half hours. And I turned to my husband, I said, Can't do it. She has three kids. So we just took a helicopter. So she took a fucking helicopter. And she's taking a helicopter home. Right. Because if you have that kind of money, I'd take a helicopter. I'm taking a fucking helicopter too.
SPEAKER_00Fuck yeah. I wish I had helicopter F you money. Exactly. Wouldn't that be great? We fucking need helicopter money. Yeah, we gotta get the word out on this podcast so we can take helicopters to see each other.
SPEAKER_01So that you're driving at Diane's for hours when you could have just flown in our backyard.
SPEAKER_00Oh, wouldn't that be so good if we had a helicopter?
SPEAKER_01Here I am sweating in the basement. It's all right. People are taking helicopters. I fucking saw that that show got renewed. Speaking of helicopters, because they looked like they had FU money in five-star weekends. We said that it was gonna get renewed. I mean, come on. Said it was gonna get renewed, but there's no book.
SPEAKER_00Right, there's no book. They'll have to make it up.
SPEAKER_01So now we're making up the story. It's all right, they'll just have another five-star weekend in another location. You think that's what they're gonna do? Yeah. You think that the premise will be that they're all gonna get together again?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So they're not gonna follow the lives, how we left off. They're just gonna pick up a year later.
SPEAKER_00Remember, they said we should do this every year. So they'll do it next year and we'll get an update on everybody's lives, right? A happy for the cock. It was the number one show in the good for them. Well, that show Sterling Points, not from a book. I thought it was serious books. Nope, Sterling Point's not from a book at all. It's an original. She looks exactly like Ann Hathaway. Yeah, her name is Ella Rubin.
SPEAKER_01I don't really know how I feel about the show. Um Did you finish? No, I'm on episode four.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I finished it. And I'm not sure how I feel. So I did enjoy the show, but it took me a really long time to understand the premise because the premise is that Annie and Connor are these twins. Annie is Ella Rubin, and Connor is Mark Buffalo's son in real life.
SPEAKER_01Yo, you know what? I didn't know that until you told me, and now I can't unsee it. Yeah, he looks like he looks just like him.
SPEAKER_00Ella Rubin played Anne Hathaway's daughter in that show we watched. She was dating the young rock star.
SPEAKER_01She looks exactly like Ann Hathaway.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. But anyway, they inherit this island from their grandfather. They didn't know the grandfather. And the grandfather was the father of their adopted mother who died when they were two. Yeah. So they barely knew their mother. No, didn't know their grandfather. And he leaves them this island. Annie goes to the island and ends up meeting all these people on the island who knew her grandfather and her mother. Let's just go with that. Is it gonna be that that guy Joe is the father? Not saying anything about it because there's a lot of twists and turns. Twists and turns. I'm on episode four. There's been no twists and no turn. The issue I had is they're talking about their mother as if she they knew their mother. Mom this, mom that, but they're they were two. They didn't even know her. Are they the same age? No, because Annie and Connor are turning 18. That's when they can sell the island if they want. Yeah. And Ramona is 16. So the math was really hard for me to understand.
SPEAKER_01I don't know if the father knows that there's a kid. Let's slow moving here. Sterling Point. It's on Amazon Prime. There are eight episodes.
SPEAKER_00And are you now saying that you enjoyed the show? I did end up enjoying it. And of course, it leaves you hanging that it could come back for another season. Okay.
SPEAKER_01I'll let you know. Obviously, I'll finish it this week, but right now it's very slow moving to me. And the only thing I'm enjoying is that I think that she's pretty and she's a good actress. Other than that, I'm good.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, the two guys that like her. There's one that I like, Ellis, and then there's the other one who's a kind of a douche, and I don't even understand why she likes him. Yeah, I don't know. Also, she gets on this island, makes friends in two seconds, makes out with people in three seconds. She's ingrained in everybody's lives in 10 seconds. It makes no sense. You can't make friends that fast, and you can't make out with people that fast.
SPEAKER_01It's a weird show. All right, fine. So the other show, how it's on season three, I don't fucking know. Of my life with the Walter boys.
SPEAKER_00Right. I'm on episode four of that, and so far nothing has happened at all.
SPEAKER_01I'm on episode four, also, and I don't understand because I think that Cole and even his brother are cute. They're cute.
SPEAKER_00The rest of them are yucky.
SPEAKER_01Jackie is not cute.
SPEAKER_00Nobody other than Cole and Alex and the mom who is from Suits. Nobody else is cute.
SPEAKER_01But they all like her, and she's not cute. Everybody likes her. I think it's just a small town thing. You know, when you're in a small town and you have slim pickings, then that's what happens. I guess so. It's like the girl from Sterling Point. You're in a small town, and now everybody wants to hook up with her. Right. You infiltrate so fast. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Like finish it, but it better be over.
SPEAKER_01We keep talking about how these shows take forever. Like I'm waiting for the summer I turn pretty, and we're waiting for heated rivalry, and we're waiting for on campus, you know, all these things that we'll do. On campus is coming back pretty fast. And thank god Miss Walter Boys is always back. And I don't need it back. Just say, oh, here we go, another season, it's back.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And it's the same thing every season. Exactly.
SPEAKER_00They've run out of storylines. There's nothing left for them. I agree. This better be the last season. And then the other show that launched that we thought we were gonna really like was The Shards, and I couldn't even get through the first episode.
SPEAKER_01I'm sad about that because we were so pumped on the Cindy Crawford Richard Gear shit. Ryan Murphy's a fucking whackadoodle.
SPEAKER_00I kind of feel like I don't really like anything that Ryan Murphy does other than Niptuckley and what else did Ryan Murphy do that we liked.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I used to think I liked Ryan Murphy, but now in this past few years, all the shit that he does, I'm like, well, I don't get it. He's very creepy.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. American horror stories we don't like. And I made a show I don't like. I made it through 10 minutes of the show. Yeah, it's got this weird California vibey, creepy. Something about the way the guy talks, the main character, I guess Brett is his name, right? He's supposed to be Brett Easton Ellis, the writer who did less than zero, and it's based on one of his books. It's a collab between him and Ryan Murphy. But do you ever listen to Sirius XM's Yacht Rock channel? Of course. So you know the voice that says, hey everybody. Yeah. That voice is the way that that guy was talking. And I thought, do pee did people in the 80s in LA speak like that? Yeah, it's weird. Really weird.
SPEAKER_01And I like the 80s, but uh give me the 80s in New York City.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, exactly. I don't think I liked the 80s in LA. I made it 10 minutes. I really couldn't deal with it. There's a serial killer, which normally I like a good serial killer, but this time didn't even like it. I didn't like the name of the serial killer.
SPEAKER_01You like a good serial killer.
SPEAKER_00I do. I do like a serial killer.
SPEAKER_01You finished that other show.
SPEAKER_00I'm too afraid to watch it. The thing about Widows Bay that makes me very angry is it's not solved by the end of the series, which pissed me off because I thought it was a one and done. So you don't have any answers. I have the answer, but now what they're gonna have to do to save the island isn't really good. And now we have to wait for that to come back to save the island. I'm not gonna watch it. No, you should not watch it. You will not like it. It is funny, that's what keeps you going, but there are scary things. Yeah, no. I've spent, I would say, 20% of the entire series with my eyes closed with Rich narrating for me. I'd rather watch the fucking Walter boys. We had two good ones come back.
SPEAKER_01Well, Lioness. Holy shit.
SPEAKER_00That was a really good first episode. It was so intense. So intense. This Zoe Seldana, I gotta say, she's unbelievable. Yeah, she's a badass. So, you guys, if you're not watching The Lioness on Paramount Plus, you really should. It's about this covert CIA anti-terror group that is led by Zoe Seldana. But the cool part is they try to make it like, okay, so she has to go to work and go kill people. Yeah. And then she also has two daughters, and a husband is a doctor, and she's gotta come home and make dinner and work life balance when you're fighting terrorists. Oh my god, it's crazy. Now it's brought to her front door. Yeah. And at the very beginning of season three, she gets kidnapped.
SPEAKER_01We're talking about season three of The Life with the Walter Boys. This is a show where things happen. It's season three. Second one. Second one. Right. Five seconds into the show, you're flipping out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but you know what's so funny? So we're watching the show, right? And somebody comes to her door in the show. Yeah. She's got her gun. He's like, you know, we need to come in. She's like, You're not fucking coming to my house. And she goes and answers the door. She doesn't get her husband. She goes and she's not afraid. I see someone come up my driveway. I'm like, Rich, someone's coming. Go to the door. I'm not going. Like, I don't go to the door for anybody. I agree. No. She's right at that door and she's got the gun. She's like, you're not fucking coming in my house.
SPEAKER_01It's so good. She's good. Welcome back, Lioness. It was nice to see Nicole. Everyone's back. It drops weekly, so we only had one episode. Yes. Do I need him to be acting though? So Taylor Sheridan, who I don't need him to be acting.
SPEAKER_00He's also part of the group, and he's a badass, too. He's a major badass. You could tell he wants to be in this show. He's in it.
SPEAKER_01He puts himself in every show. And he's a badass in every show. He had a big role in this first one.
SPEAKER_00This one's big. This is probably the biggest role he's ever had in any of his shows. Don't you think?
SPEAKER_01I think so. Yeah. But I mean, I couldn't take it. No.
SPEAKER_00Taylor. They all wear these giant packs, these helmets, these cameras. Like, do you think that that weight on them is real, or do you think that those are lighter packs for TV?
SPEAKER_01Well, I did see this was years ago when the first season started. The amount of training that she had to do for the show. She's little. Was intense. So some of it is real. It's amazing. She did a lot of that training.
SPEAKER_00She looks good.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she's no joke. And Nicole looks good. Welcome back. No, she always looks good. I mean, she really does. We did. All right. So we had the lioness. That's on Paramount. Highly recommend.
SPEAKER_00That's a stream it, stream it, stream it. Highly recommend.
SPEAKER_01I feel like the lioness may have been one of our top five one year.
SPEAKER_00It definitely was.
SPEAKER_01And the wait is over, and Ted Lasso cannot even believe I'm saying it, is back.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's back for another three season story arc about Ted coaching this woman's soccer team. I thought the first episode was a little boring.
SPEAKER_01I think we needed to kind of set the stage. Yes. I get why they had to do it that way. How he goes back. But it's interesting because my hairdresser actually said to me, I felt like in the first five minutes or 10 minutes that it was a dream. It was just a weird thing. Like he's in a supermarket. It was a little bizarre and it was a little slow. It was good to see everyone. Now I know the kid is going with it. The kid and the ex-wife. Right. So she definitely dumped that guy because he was a loser. Right. And now we're all getting a little change of scenery. We're going to go to London.
SPEAKER_00There's also a ton of Easter eggs in that first episode that I had to learn about, of course, on TikTok. Because apparently the episode is called Home, and there's a lot of references to the Wizard of Oz in it. And then there's all these other references to previous Ted Lasso things. Juno Temple was wearing those red sparkly shoes, like Dorothy's red slippers. And there's just all these Easter eggs in the first episode that I didn't pick up on at all until TikTok told me to notice these things. So now I'm gonna go back and look at all these things again because there were so many of them. And I'm like, oh my god, who thinks like that? I didn't notice anything. I was just watching the episode. And Casablanca, there's just a million things. I should have written them down, but there was tons of them. Wow.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so that also will drop weekly. Yes. On Apple on Wednesdays. I think we have a shorter season. I think it's eight.
SPEAKER_00I think it's only eight, yeah. I can't seem to confirm if Brett Goldstein is or is not in the writer's room this time. It says he is, but then somebody else says he's not the writer this year. Jason Sudegas and the coach are still the showrunners and the writers. I was trying to compare the writer's room for the first series versus this series to see if they're the same writers because I felt like the writing was good, but not as zippy as it had been.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's only been one episode. Let's everybody get back together. Gonna have coach in it now and all the people. So a lot of people back. It just makes you feel good.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I was very happy. And did you notice that Rebecca gave Ted the cookie box, the pink cookie box, but she put tea in it? Yeah, I love it. That was cute.
SPEAKER_01I love her in this role, not in the ride or die role. I love her in ride or die too.
SPEAKER_00We're gonna agree to disagree on the ride or die, but I love her, and she's so pretty. Jason Sudakis has this foundation and he does this huge fundraiser every year, and she was there singing with him, and they did shallow together, and it was really good. They did? Yeah, they're both really good singers.
SPEAKER_01I know they sing, but I didn't know if they were doing shallow. That's hard.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she killed it. Really? Yes. I'll send you the video.
SPEAKER_01Love that.
SPEAKER_00All right, that lot dropped this week. We had said last week that this coming week was a lot, and then we have a lot to come as well.
SPEAKER_01I really didn't catch up with any of the other shows. Are you up to date with Big Bro? Yeah, I'm up to date with Big Brother, but like some of those other shows, I think you said you stopped watching Lucky. Yeah, gave it up. Yeah, so I'm not up to date there, and I'm not up to date on the other one with the girl from Shameless, which you're not watching. I'm not watching that.
SPEAKER_00And then trying I'm up to date. Are you up to date with that one? No. This week's episode was about that whole idea called the ick when you're dating someone and or you have a crush on someone or you like someone, or even I guess you could say about your husband too, but they do something and it gives you the ick and you're out.
SPEAKER_01I'll see this. I just learned about that the ick in the last, I would say, five years. I really didn't.
SPEAKER_00I think the ick is new.
SPEAKER_01I didn't know what that term meant.
SPEAKER_00No, I think the ick is a new term. We never said the ick.
SPEAKER_01I remember asking my sister and brother, and they were like, Yeah, I don't know what the fuck that means.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well, the perfect definition of it is in this week's episode.
SPEAKER_01Well, I don't like what's happening in the show. Me either. I was turned off with the mice, I told you. Yep. And then please don't let me think that you're gonna cheat on this guy because I I don't like it. It's already not making me want to watch the next episode as well.
SPEAKER_00Well, you'll you'll be happy with this episode. But it is about that thing called the ick.
SPEAKER_01Well, the ick would be so bad that you wouldn't have gotten married. So it's hard to say, do we have the ick with our husbands? Isn't the ick something that turns you off and you walk the other way?
SPEAKER_00Yes. So I would think that you can't have the ick about your husband or your partner that you choose to spend your life with. That's just called they annoy me.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they annoy me. Right. Which is every day. Every single day. No, and I know that there are things that, okay, there's certain things that annoy people more than others. Something Rich does that irks you, something Ed does it irks me, but it's not really the ick.
SPEAKER_00Well, I guess if we weren't married to them and we were considering spending our life with them, if you saw those things now, would you continue to go to the path?
SPEAKER_01Like if I wasn't married to him and he spent a whole day walking around barefoot in the dirt and grass, and then once again, yeah, right. That could give me the ick. I don't like bare feet ever. You gotta wash your feet, dude.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, bare feet freak me out. I don't like it. I don't like bare feet. Don't bring your dirty feet in my bed, don't bring your dirty feet in my house, don't put your dirty feet on my furniture. I don't like dirty feet. Dirty feet's disgusting. I don't like it either. First of all, I don't like feet, I don't really enjoy them myself. Feet are gross, right? Yeah, but dirty feet are nasty. It's worse. Nasty.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_00And also don't touch your feet and then touch anything in my house.
SPEAKER_01Oh, God, yeah.
SPEAKER_00All right, yeah, disgusting. You're making me sick. I just let the bed.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Oh, gross. All right, yeah. So all right. So the ick. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I get it. I get why people.
SPEAKER_00If you were on a date with Ed before you decided to be with him, if you were on a date with him and he picked his feet and then wanted to make out with you, you would be like, I have the ick, and I'm never seeing you again. Yes, got it. No, I get it. Go home and be like, you are not gonna believe what this guy did. Picked his feet, touched me.
SPEAKER_01Speaking of the ick, do you understand how Pete Davidson gets all these women? No, I really don't understand.
SPEAKER_00The only thing is when he's dating this Sarah Jane.
SPEAKER_01She's the hottest one, but she's a lesbian.
SPEAKER_00Well, I thought she was a lesbian, maybe she's just bi. But in the whole season of Love Thy Nader, she was a lesbian, very lesbian-ish. I don't know. The most beautiful lesbian on the planet, she's still a lesbian.
SPEAKER_01She's smoking hot.
SPEAKER_00He obviously has a type, man. All of his women are very similar.
SPEAKER_01He's funny, right? He's a local guy. I get it.
SPEAKER_00He obviously likes the dark hair, the dark eyes.
SPEAKER_01But I don't find him to be so attractive that he gets all these people.
SPEAKER_00It's definitely not because he owns a fairy.
SPEAKER_01No, it's not because he owns a fairy. Now he has a kid. Think about it now. Baggage. He has a fairy and a baby. He's got a fairy and a baby. Yeah. Right. Ick. And she dumped him, right? She dumped him.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01There's a reason why she dumped him.
SPEAKER_00I know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that gives me the ick. Could be the fairy. Right. Who knows? Who knows what he does? And you know what else is bizarre? And I'm listening I don't talk about other people's children, but I would like Kim. I know I'm sure Kim's listening to this. But I would like to know Kim Kardashian. Yeah. What is happening with North? She scares the hell out of me.
SPEAKER_00What is she a scary child? What is happening though? All I know is if I had her in my house, I would probably never leave my room because I'd be afraid. Is it because her father's whacked out? I think she's a genius. I think she's like him. She's got that crazy artistic geniusness, and they're letting her have freedom of expression. Okay. But she's scary.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_00Like, listen to the lyrics of her song. She's scary. Those fake piercings all over the place. She's not 15, she's 12. That's what I mean. She's traveling all over the world. She doesn't go to school. The whole thing's cray cray to me. I'm more afraid of her than anything else. If she came to my door, oh my god, I would flip out.
SPEAKER_01If I'm the perfect specimen of Lewis Hamilton, and I walk into that house. And I walk into North, I'd be like, what's happening here?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01He's just perfect.
SPEAKER_00Lewis is perfect. Everything is in everything, the way he speaks, the way he dresses, the way he walks, the way he talks. He's a good guy. This is what he's doing. He's a wonderful human specimen. And he's philanthropic, and he's just the perfect, perfect person. And now he has to deal with all these kids and all these people. Right. It's just a lot. Yeah, I agree. It's a lot.
SPEAKER_01But all right. We love that couple though.
SPEAKER_00We don't want them to break. I mean, it's summer break for F1, and he's been with them the whole time. Well, not the whole time. He's been doing a little bit of other things, but he's been at that lake. He's at belts and motorcycles, they're going running. He doesn't have his he has his hair loose. Everyone's there. I know. It's craziness. Yeah, yeah. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_01Although I don't know if North is at the lake. When I'm looking at the lake, and then she'll pop up on my social media too. And I'm like, what's happening? Yeah, it's very weird. All right. Do we have anything else? Nope. That's everything on my list. All right. Well, I have a game for you because as I said, and I say I've been saying it since July 5th, the summer is over. No, it's so decided that we're going to turn back the clock. To what? We're going to play We Need to Talk Time Travel Trivia. So Time Travel Trivia. I'm going to give you seven sets of moments, and you're going to tell me which came first. Okay? So for example, here's my number one. Which came first? McDonald's or Disneyland? Disneyland. McDonald's 1940. Disneyland 1955.

Facebook or the iPad? Facebook. Yes. Facebook 2004, iPad 2010.
SPEAKER_00Remember when Facebook first came out, and you're like, why would anybody want that? I know. I had no vision at all. What was the first one called MySpace? I remember when someone was trying to explain MySpace to me, and I go, why would anybody want to do that? And now it's part of our life. Now I'm back to hating Facebook, though I don't go on Facebook. I do because of the podcast. But other than that, I'm barely ever on it.
SPEAKER_01Which came first?
SPEAKER_00Google or Netflix? Oh, I was a first person to use Netflix when you would send it in the envelope. Yes. My dad. So I'm gonna say Netflix came before Google.

Wait, my game that I did for you or that you did shitty at? That I did shitty at. Like, I get a fucking text message from Loyal Listener Regina. Are you serious? She tells me. First of all, I'm not good at games. We all know this. Second of all, I'm not a Marvel person. She's like, you can't be serious. I gotta get shit about that too. No, why don't you text me about my partner biting people instead of giving me shit about how bad I do on the game?
SPEAKER_00I didn't get any notes from anybody about you not doing well.
SPEAKER_01Because they're so because they're used to it now. Like she sucks at game. All right, everybody. Stay pickled. Have a good week. Love ya.
SPEAKER_00Love ya. Hope I get the internet back.
