Christy, that story was so scary; I am so glad you made it away safely 💜🙏

Heather Sinclair

Shannon I am I 1000% with you on Selena being an atrocious actress. I had to stop watching OMITB because I found it so distracting!

Christie’s story about the uber driver reminded me of the time I had my bachelorette party in Scottsdale and like 12 of us stayed in this Airbnb that was clearly advertised for women or bachelorette parties (gucci themed, backdrops for pics, etc.). Well on our second night my friend found a man in a ski mask in our backyard staring at us through the back sliding glass door. There were no working lights in the backyard or blinds on the door, so we had no way of knowing or protecting ourselves. Airbnb only reimbursed us for an emergency hotel room but didn’t refund the cost of the rental. The property management did nothing to help us, and women are probably still staying at this house and getting spied on. I’m worried something might happen one day, but Airbnb gave zero shits and did nothing. Seems like no one gives a shit about women or our safety.

i don’t think selena was good in her hulu show but i’ve liked her in other movies

Luis Zambrano

There’s a gas station in Minneapolis called “Pump ‘n Munch.” Lol Shannon you’d so appreciate it.

Corinne

I don’t think Selena is a good actress 🫣 I agree with you

Giuliette

I think kanye just likes to control a woman's image. Bianca's his barbie. Idk how she dressed before but I doubt she had her vag out in public 😂 and she always looks sooo uncomfy

Jennifer Lake

Christy said Ethan Slater looks like Frankie Grande and I will never be able to unsee it

Regarding the sunscreen there are mineral based sunscreens that have zinc and are usually white, or there are chemical based sunscreens which don’t have zinc and are usually more of a gel texture like Supergoop Unseen sunscreen. Dermatologists usually recommend zinc based sunscreen bc it’s like a mirror for the suns rays, the sun doesn’t really get absorbed. Chemical sunscreens are more like a filter and some sun may get through, and it’s also recommended to re-apply a chemical based sunscreen throughout the day (sometimes as frequent as every 2hrs). If you have super dry skin or you don’t want the white cast then you can lean towards the chemical/non-zinc sunscreens! Depends what your priority is (fixing dry skin, stronger sun protection, or layering makeup on top etc). Just wanted to note that if there’s no zinc in your sunscreen don’t be worried! 🤍🤍

Mary

I think comparing is how we use examples in conversations, I agree with you guys. Whether it be chips, artists or toothpaste brands.

TMay

The accuracy of comments when showing pics of a date to your friends!

TMay

i live in texas so i was in totality & as someone who didnt even care enough to buy glasses, thank GOD my roommate let me borrow hers!!! it was super cool for like 5 minutes it felt like the world stopped when everything went dark

grace

I think Isla and SBC had to come out because of what has come out in rebel Wilson’s book. It’s huge news over here in Australia! They’ve delayed the book coming out here.

Nicole Grundy

And just to add to my comment above... Ever since Beyonce dropped this incredible masterpiece where she shares her stage with other black country singers, blackbiird, I have felt like damn. Beyonce could have done that song al by herself, but she knew what she was doing when she included them. Since then, I've been turned off by Taylor. Like Taylor is so influential but only uses her influence to sell vinyls.

Problematic Bestie

It is not a sin to compare female artists to each other. But also, Beyonce's album is historical and was released to uplift black country artists and create a place for black artists in country music. Taylors album is an hour long diss track to Joe Alwyn (at least that's how she's choosing to market it).

Problematic Bestie

i could listen to you and christy talk for hours lollll

Nat N

I’ve never taken it again - only Lyfts!

xknowsall

the next total eclipse actually isn’t until 2045! but it still is for sure not like a one in a life time experience lol

Sadie Swenson

ACAB forever...

CMann

Omg that story makes me never want to Uber again 😬

Bridget Bauer

The sunscreen advice was fantastic. It’s so frustrating that many influencers are pushing terrible ones.

Lily

I saw online that some “astrology influencer” stabbed her boyfriend to death then pushed her two kids out of a car, the little baby died, and her nine year-old was injured, and then she crashed her car and killed herself because of solar eclipse conspiracies. She thought the world was gonna end or an apocalypse was coming. Spiritual psychosis 🤯🤯🤯

Angelyca Violet

I solo traveled through Australia when I was 20 for 2 weeks and then for 2 months through Southeast Asia after I finished Peace Corps in the Philippines when I was 25 ish. I loved it. But also I’m an only child so I think I grew up entertaining myself lol. But also like mad props to me for doing that pre cell phones and internet only in Internet cafes

Meg Hall

I do think it’s fine to compare artists! I usually compare the Stans and how off they are about new albums lol. Like the new Ariana album was fine but people saying it was her best yet.. no it was like part 4 of sweetener, though it’s her first album post scooter so I was expecting more oomph. Cowboy Carter is good, but is it beyonces best album? No! Not to me at least. She’s also just gotten into this realm of uncanny valley to me where she doesn’t look real anymore and I don’t find myself interested in the celebs who don’t play the media game 🤷🏻‍♀️ New Taylor album… we shall see. If it’s actually alt sounding not just midnights 2.0 that will be nice. I’m expecting to be disappointed by it

RJ

Also I tried to watch the SpongeBob musical a couple weeks ago to see if Ethan slater was giving any vibes but it was just too cringe and I had to tap out 😭 it’s on paramount+ if anyone else wants to investigate

RJ

Also like a couple others said I feel like Isla announcing the divorce was because of the story rebel exposed. When I heard the cmbc girls reading it and discussing that chapter I wanted to go throw hands at Sacha. Disgusting fuck

RJ

So from what I’m aware most steamy scenes are rarely the same on set since they have to be so technical, and similar to stage direction most of the touching that looks good on camera isn’t the same as an actual kiss etc. Plus apparently (though I doubt this is always followed) they have to stop shooting if an actor gets an erection to follow the SAG regulations 🤣😅 intimacy coordinators are still fairly new and aren’t super well regulated yet, but actors who get caught up in those scenes are unprofessional 🤭 it’s usually a lot more laughing from how awkward it is. Plus the whole thing of people hating each other but having amazing chemistry is very real 😂 …that being said I feel like musicians being romantic in their music videos are the ones who end up falling for their scene partners because they aren’t always actors lol

RJ

Re: stranger danger, the normalisation of gays going to strangers' houses because of Grindr is crazy. Those who want to meet somewhere public first are considered "prudes" despite all of the Grindr murders that have happened

Bippity Boop

Frrrr that’s like essentially vomiting on her carpet yourself 😭 and not being apologetic

Tiresi Kirbae

omg not the Earthquake talk too, this ep made me v nervous to be an SF girly😭😭😭

✨Riley✨

Sacha and isla obv happened bc of rebel Wilson’s book. Also jada and will don’t have a prenup that’s why they’re not divorcing. They’ve lived separately since before the slap. All in her memoir

Haley Lanigan

Omg Christy I am a bay area girly and i uber all the time in SF, I am so sorry this happened to you, I hope you’ve healed as much as possible from this 💗💗

✨Riley✨

Okay so I am the biggest dig person ever but that bitch (the owner) seriously needs to check herself. Nothing is more annoying than bad pet parents and kid parents.

Jacqueline

When you guys were talking about Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fischer I thought you were going to bring up the Rebel Wilson sexual harassment accusations! I thought maybe that had something to do with the divorce- Isla not wanting to be associated with him anymore?

Rose Martine

Wow Christy’s story was really important. There’s so many people who went through the same thing, but they’re not around to tell the story. Im so sorry that happened to you.

Sarah Hilton

Greta looks 12 to me

Erin

Awe I’m so happy for you Christy! Enjoy the time off travelling you deserve it! Treat yo self! 🥂

Samantha

LOL

Shannon McNamara

Thank you for bringing up the dog training thing!!! Definitely an issue.

SOL88

Omg hahah my parents call it “dish diarrhea” when someone conveniently has to go to the bathroom when it’s time to clean up dinner

Kayleigh

And I’m so so so sorry that happened to you!! 😢

Averie

So happy for you Christy!!
