Speaker 3:

I don't think there were as many apples that came to the house, because I ate them all in the car.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean you had a lot of apples, Belle. They were so good. It's something about them when they come directly from the tree.

Speaker 3:

What the dirt. The organicness of it, yeah just the freshness of them. I'm glad I like my apples, you know, cleaned, decored, sliced. I'm good as is, maybe a little chilled, maybe a little peanut butter on the side, Peanut butter yes dip my apples in some peanut butter, that's interesting.

Speaker 3:

Lee. Let's see what Lee has. 63.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, so happy fall again everyone, it's very strange here happy fall it everyone. It's very strange here, Happy fall. It's like 70 degrees, but the humidity is 200%.

Speaker 3:

Oh, my goodness, it's weird, the humidity Awful today.

Speaker 2:

But it's 70. It's not even hot, it's just this humidity.

Speaker 3:

like you, couldn't swim through it.

Speaker 2:

It's terrible.

Speaker 3:

It makes Tim's hair even worse. I don't know about swimming through it. It's like because you have to like trench through it Like you're like. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, agree Nice sound Thanks.

Speaker 3:

Is that a trench? Oh no, it's rubbing off on. Yeah, that's a trench through the humidity Tink is catching up on me.

Speaker 2:

Trench through humidity? That would sound like.

Speaker 3:

Would it be an ASMR podcast now? Oh, that would be fun.

Speaker 2:

Let's go. Hey, did you see that? The baby pygmy? He's the cutest.

Speaker 3:

The hippo and his face now is trademarked, yeah. So my question is when they stole my face, why wasn't that allowed? Exactly, I'm so outraged by this.

Speaker 2:

A hippo, a pygmy hippo.

Speaker 3:

It's okay, but not Tinkerbell, but not me. No, so rude, so rude.

Speaker 2:

But he's very no so rude, so rude.

Speaker 3:

But he's very cute.

Speaker 2:

But wait. So I have a question Is he going to get big, or that's it? His pygmy means he stays small.

Speaker 3:

I'm assuming he's going to grow into a full-on hippo as we see the mom Well then there'll be no appeal anymore.

Speaker 2:

That's what happens when you grow up. It's like being a child star. He's a child star. Or taylor's song he's gonna never grow up.

Speaker 3:

He's gonna have um a documentary about, about the struggles of going from child hippo to adult.

Speaker 2:

Just like the demi one. Yes, just like the Demi one.

Speaker 3:

Yes, just like the Demi, but maybe because Pygmy, maybe he won't. From baby hippo.

Speaker 2:

Maybe he's like a famous To regular Because he's not going to grow. No, the zoo, no, I think he's definitely growing.

Speaker 1:

They cannot People keep coming back thousands of times to see him and they're getting like 25,000 visitors a day to see him.

Speaker 2:

Pigmy gets bigger and they were getting like 25,000 visitors a day to see him. He is cute. I like his face and he does. Did you see? There's even makeup for his cheeks blush, like there's a brand of pigmy blush Did you see that yes, no really. There is makeup that's named after him.

Speaker 3:

Okay, it says yes. After him. Okay, it says yes. The hippo will get bigger as it grows.

Speaker 2:

Pygmy, the pygmy hippo will will get bigger as it grows.

Speaker 3:

Oh, nobody's gonna visit him when he's bigger born and has weighed 7.5 to 14 pounds, and then it will grow to an adult, which will be 350 to 600 pounds.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, life's over, buddy.

Speaker 3:

Not life's over.

Speaker 2:

The appeal will be over once you're a 600 pound hippo. I know it's that. He's so cute right now with the pink face.

Speaker 3:

Wait, but his name is not Pygmy. That's the type of hippo it is. Yeah, I know. Oh, what's his?

Speaker 2:

name? I don't, it's a Chinese name.

Speaker 3:

Mu Dang.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, see. See, that's it. Chinese mu dang. He's really cute. Oh, I know I like him.

Speaker 3:

I want to get his blush yeah, so where do you get his blush on sephora?

Speaker 2:

sephora sells mudang's blush mud yeah.

Speaker 3:

Makeup trend right now is the Mudang blush. Told you, Mudang is on it. Mudang hippo makeup is now trending and we're not mad about it.

Speaker 2:

See, mudang has these bright. If you don't know who he is, you must live under a rock, but it's okay, I'll tell you. He's got these bright, pink cheeks and he's very cute and he lives in China in the zoo and they are raking in their money from daily admittance. He's cute.

Speaker 3:

He's really cute.

Speaker 2:

I'm looking at his cheeks when he goes after the trainer guy and bites his boots and stuff.

Speaker 3:

There's not an actual blush, but they just have four blushes that are the color of him.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so that's why they call them Modeng.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they say that. Makeup by Mario Soft, creamy Peach Blush, rare Beauty, hope, kosa's Hype and Pixie Floor those are the best Mudang blushes. Wear your blush like a baby hippo.

Speaker 2:

That's funny. Yeah, I love it. So that's what I've been up to and Tink's been up to this week. So I guess let's hit the pop culture. I guess Should we. I guess we should move on, right, I guess.

Speaker 3:

so Well, we kind of just did a pop culture a little bit. Oh was he in her or hippo culture.

Speaker 2:

Hippo culture. That is Hippo culture. That's mudang culture. Don't mess with mudang culture.

Speaker 3:

Pygmy hippo Mudang. Yeah, he's so cute, he really is Okay. Well, the big news from this week, I have to say, in the pop culture world, and a big news for New York, uh-oh, especially New York, uh-oh Hoda Kotb has announced she is leaving Today Show after 17 years to focus on her kids.

Speaker 3:

But she's not leaving NBC. Hoda Kotb will no longer anchor the show, but will remain on staff as she shifts to focus on daughters Haley and Hope, who has health issues. Wait what? Oh, I didn't know this. I didn't know that we're learning something.

Speaker 2:

Now Hoda Kotb is bidding farewell to Today Show anchoring duties after 17 years. Wait what? Oh, I didn't know this.

Speaker 3:

I didn't know that we're learning something now. Hoda Kotb is bidding farewell to today's show anchoring duties after 17 years.

Speaker 2:

Wow.

Speaker 3:

She writes. As I write this, my heart is all over the map. I know I'm making the right decision, but it's a painful one, and you all are the reason why they say two things can be right at the same time, and I'm feeling that so deeply right now. I love you and it's time for me to leave the show. Explaining her reasoning, a copy added in part my broadcast career has been beyond meaningful. A new decade of my life lies ahead, and now my daughters and my mom need and deserve a bigger slice of my time. I will miss you all desperately, but I'm ready and excited.

Speaker 3:

Wait, She'll stay in her current role until the beginning of 2025, but she won't be absent from the network entirely after the new year. Copy will remain on in some capacity, writing, oh wait, no, not writing Like she's not writing, but she wrote happily and gratefully. I plan to remain a part of the NBC family, the longest work relationship I've been lucky enough to hold close to my heart. I'll be around. How could I not? Family is family and you all will always be a part of mine.

Speaker 2:

So is she retiring or do you think she's doing something else? And now I think, whose health issues. Where'd that come from?

Speaker 3:

well, we know that one of the daughters was in. Remember, um, something happened. Remember she was in the hospital or something. Oh yeah, a couple years ago or like a year ago. Remember she was missing for a while yeah, hoda's very nice I know everyone will miss hoda, I'm gonna miss her. How could we not, how could like we not wake up with her?

Speaker 2:

there. But who will replace her is the mystery oh, so here it is.

Speaker 3:

it says hope experienced a medical crisis that landed her in the intensive care unit for several days and in the hospital for more than a week. That was when Hope you know Hoda's child was sick, but she didn't give a diagnosis for what's wrong with the kid.

Speaker 1:

Hmm.

Speaker 3:

But who knows?

Speaker 2:

I wonder what's going on. Is she getting something else to do?

Speaker 3:

I think she just wants to focus on the kids.

Speaker 2:

So she's kind of semi-retiring or something.

Speaker 3:

That's what it seems like now that. I read that and what she wrote. I don't think she's doing anything more demanding.

Speaker 2:

She's just taking a hiatus.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I don't think she's actually focusing on more demanding. Yeah, taking a hiatus. Yeah, I don't think she's actually focusing on more demanding yeah, taking a hiatus.

Speaker 2:

She bought like a four million dollar house somewhere. Yeah, it's in new york suburbs somewhere I think westchester, yeah, upstate somewhere. Yeah, she bought it. It's four million dollars. I guess she was gonna. Who's going to replace her?

Speaker 3:

I know and then it's not going to be called Hoda and Jenna, so it's going to be called Jenna and. Jenna and Question mark. Unless, do you think Jenna's going to stay?

Speaker 2:

Yes, okay, because Jenna I know Jenna was like crying, saying how much she's going to miss Hoda. Okay, so Jenna's staying and they have to add someone.

Speaker 3:

So they're going to go, jenna, and.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 3:

Hoda and Jenna, because when Jenna and Was it?

Speaker 2:

who is that? Lady Kathy Lee and Hoda. Right, yeah, and then it became Hoda and Jenna.

Speaker 3:

And now it will be Jenna and Question mark. Do you have any guesses?

Speaker 2:

Well.

Speaker 3:

I do. You know my guess.

Speaker 2:

I agree with you, but I don't know. But I do agree with you because he's there a lot. Jenna and Justin, the two J's.

Speaker 3:

It actually sounds really good together.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, jenna and Justinin and we know him because we were on e-daily pop daily pop. I mean with him, yeah, and he's here a lot now he's here a lot and I think that she was, she was like you know, grooming him for the hoda loves.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, she, yep she loves him I can't I feel like she's been like mentoring him. I think so, because when I mean he's taken, he's done Hoda Spot a couple times, I know, and they're funny together. Yeah, and he's like younger maybe. No, is he? No, no, he's like Jenna's age. Yeah, I don't know, it might be a good fit. Jj, JJ, Jenna and Justin. Honestly, Jenna and Justin sounds really good.

Speaker 2:

Megan Trainor. Better rewrite another jingle, because right now she goes. Hoda and Jenna, hoda and Jenna. Now she's going to have to go, jenna and Justin.

Speaker 3:

Oh, so you're agreeing. It's going to be Justin.

Speaker 2:

I just have that feeling.

Speaker 3:

No one else, you can guess well, they wouldn't put donna there.

Speaker 2:

I know, that's what I was like the other one.

Speaker 3:

I thought was don adorable, but I don't think so donna.

Speaker 2:

She's more of a producer writer I don't think. I mean, she has been sitting in a lot, but I don't know if they would give it to her, because she's behind the scenes more. I mean, she did a story with you in the Hamptons, remember.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but it's just. Justin has so much more of a presence and that kind of.

Speaker 2:

And following. I think.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and he just has that spark. Let's see.

Speaker 2:

That's just what it is. Who else has been? Oh, the other girl who was on E Daily when we were on. It comes on often.

Speaker 3:

Oh, yeah, she does, but no.

Speaker 2:

I don't think so, I don't see that happening.

Speaker 3:

No one is as much as Justin.

Speaker 2:

Do you?

Speaker 3:

have to do screen tests or anything.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're like audition.

Speaker 3:

You go and do the show, and that's your audition.

Speaker 2:

Well, I think that his numbers are probably very good. Yeah, I think so. That's how Jenna got it because Jenna auditioned and did a live show.

Speaker 3:

Or what about that woman? Heather and Hoda picked her Remember that one, she's a funny TikToker that they've had guest host when Hoda's out, is she? On a TV show. No, she's just famous from TikTok. She's a comedian, heather.

Speaker 2:

Oh the older lady, older woman yeah, she's blonde.

Speaker 3:

She's really funny. Yeah, I know her. Maybe I've always liked when she was a guest on there.

Speaker 2:

I think it depends on what dynamics they want to go for. It's hard because if they go with her, then they're only really going to go towards the older audience.

Speaker 3:

Well, that's the thing, though.

Speaker 2:

They're losing Hoda which is like that audience and Hoda goes to the younger families and everything because Well, she hits both. Yeah, it's a hard one, very hard, and Ryan's not going on. He's way too busy. Ryan who Seacrest? Oh, he would never.

Speaker 3:

He's an ABC person.

Speaker 2:

Wheel of Fortune. I know, but we know him, so I'm just thinking out loud of people we know.

Speaker 3:

Well, I'm trying to think of who else. Oh, I have a, really good idea, meghan. Trainor no, she's touring.

Speaker 2:

She's not going to do that, yeah, but she'll be done.

Speaker 3:

She's not going to do that.

Speaker 2:

You never know that would be crazy.

Speaker 3:

You never know I actually have an idea for who should be it who.

Speaker 2:

Have they been on before?

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 2:

Us. Yeah Us, yeah, yeah oh boom, oh boom, let's do it.

Speaker 3:

Jenna and Tinkerbell and Belle.

Speaker 2:

Jenna and the Belles. Yeah, let's send an email and be like guys, we want to audition, to be with you.

Speaker 3:

Imagine Just Jenna and then our two heads just like chilling, like our fierce fabulous fluff in the other chair.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but then here's the thing they get two for one. Basically they would get every audience member all ages then with us. That would make so much sense Like it's a win-win for them.

Speaker 3:

Really is.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

We're basically the Hoda and Jenna of podcasting.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, tink and bell T of podcasting. Yeah, tinkerbell, tinkerbell, yeah, yeah, there you go. You know, I forgot to say this. I ate so many apples. I'm five pounds. Now, you're five pounds, I'm just, I'm tink size. Well, you've caught up.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I forgot to say that I'm a little over five, because you know that's what aging does to you.

Speaker 2:

No, Tink doesn't like to eat. She's a, she's a strike sometimes.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm very picky. I'm a picky girly.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I like her food Yum. Okay, sorry, next story food.

Speaker 2:

Oh, Hoda again. Okay, she was very nice to us last time, but it's the last time.

Speaker 3:

Last Hoda parade.

Speaker 2:

Maybe not, because she's still going to be involved. Okay yeah, maybe not.

Speaker 3:

Maybe not, maybe not, okay, okay, next story. Next story A little bit of sad news. Uh-oh, dame Maggie Smith has passed away.

Speaker 2:

Oh my, gosh, I know from. Harry Potter. My heart From Peter Pan from Harry Potter.

Speaker 3:

Not Peter Pan.

Speaker 2:

Hook, yeah, hook, I mean Harry Potter, hook, all the ages First Wise Club, Downton Abbey. So sad. It's so sad she is. She worked right up to the end. She was a superstar she was incredible.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, she was. I loved her Me too, and Daniel Radcliffe put out a statement about Maggie Smith passing away. So sad. The first time I met Maggie Smith I was nine years old and we were reading through scenes for David Copperfield which was my first job, which was my first job the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Actor 35 said that he didn't know much about her at the time, but his parents were awestruck that he would get to work with her. Yeah, the other thing I knew about her was that she was a dame. So the first thing I asked her when we met was would you like me to call you dame? At which she laughed and said something to the effect of don't be ridiculous. He recalled. Radcliffe remembered feeling nervous to meet her, only to immediately be put at ease by her warm nature. She was incredibly kind to me on that shoot. And then I was lucky enough to go on working with her for another 10 years on the Harry Potter films.

Speaker 2:

Wait, we have to see this. David Copperfield I didn't even know he was in the movie before Harry.

Speaker 3:

I didn't know that either.

Speaker 2:

Now we know the mystery.

Speaker 3:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Okay, we'll have to put that on our list, Tink.

Speaker 3:

Mm-hmm David Copperfield. He called Maggie Smith. He called the late Downton abbey alum a fierce intellect with a gloriously sharp tongue. Oh, maggie could intimidate and charm in the same instant and was, as everyone would tell you, extremely funny. He said I will always consider myself amazingly lucky to have been able to work with her and to spend time around her on set. The word legend is overused, but if it applies to anyone in our industry, then it applies to her.

Speaker 2:

I agree, Thank you.

Speaker 3:

Maggie.

Speaker 2:

I wish we met her.

Speaker 3:

Me too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Wow, she was 89 years old. Wow, was she sick? No, 89 years old. Wow, was she sick? No, I don't believe so from what it says, just that she passed away in the hospital with her family surrounding her Wow, her sons, but wow. And she was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1990.

Speaker 2:

Wow, she's a legend.

Speaker 3:

She left her mark on the film and theater industry, winning three Emmys for her role in Downton Abbey as well as two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes and one Tony Award.

Speaker 2:

She's epic, what Wow.

Speaker 3:

So epic.

Speaker 2:

So I wish we met her Rest in peace.

Speaker 3:

Maggie Smith.

Speaker 2:

I wish we met her.

Speaker 3:

Me too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And what like? Just wow, what an opportunity to work with her Mm-hmm For all those actors that did.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Professor McGonagall always.

Speaker 2:

Always and forever.

Speaker 3:

Mm-hmm. So talking about Harry, harry, should we move on to our next story? Oh him, no.

Speaker 2:

Oh no.

Speaker 3:

On a lighter note, I can't wait to hear what you think of this story.

Speaker 3:

I know what you're going to say Prince Harry rolls up to a tattoo shop in NYC with NYPD and security stays for over an hour. Prince Harry pulled up to a celebrity-loved tattoo shop in New York City on Wednesday, staying there for over an hour. Photos exclusively obtained by Page Six so oh my god, six show the Duke of Sussex 40, arriving in a black SUV to East Side Inc in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The shop is no stranger to A-listers such as Chris Hemsworth, robert Downey Jr, scarlett Johansson, chris Evans and Jeremy Renner. All previously got matching ink there from tattoo artist Joshua Lord. During Harry's visit on Wednesday, he was accompanied by his own powerful group. He was flanked by members of his security team who were dressed in dark green slacks and gray polo shirts. Hold wait. One of the individuals, however, was wearing a suit, and we've been told it's believed the man works for the New York City Police Department and has been assigned to be a part of the Prince's detail for his NYC trip.

Speaker 2:

We're paying for him to get a tattoo.

Speaker 3:

The city. Why? As further evidence that there was a police president's? Oh my goodness, I cannot speak today.

Speaker 2:

It's okay.

Speaker 3:

I've heard enough. No, I want to the whole thing. A source tells Page Six that Harry stayed at the shop from about 1 pm to a little over 2 pm. Ever since the British royal and his wife Meghan Mark had a nearly catastrophic paparazzi car chase in the Big Apple back in May 2023. Harry has been given additional security personnel in New York.

Speaker 2:

I don't even want to know what tattoo he got, but all I say is are you having a midlife crisis and why do we in New York have to have our policemen taking off to help you get a tattoo? Come on, go get your own tattoo in your own time. I'm so confused like why does he need a tattoo? What's going on? Was he putting a heart on his butt?

Speaker 3:

no, I okay, first of all a crown on his butt? Okay, but someone a source exclusively reveals to us that harry did not actually get a tattoo during the visit. He was just there. He was there for a promotional stunt he's filming for an upcoming project oh come on it is not against british mod, okay.

Speaker 3:

So apparently it is not against British. So apparently it is not against British monarch protocol for for royals to get tattoos, though, as several members of the famous family, both past and present, have gotten their own permanent designs. Princess Eugenie, for instance, who is Harry's first cousin, has a small circle tattoo just behind her left ear. Well, ok.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, who cares about that? I don't know, so he went to a tattoo parlor here in New York with our police people protecting him for an hour inside To shoot a joke. Didn't get a tattoo, he was just joking. Well, buddy, I don't find it funny, not funny at all I'm honestly really confused I'm very confused. I don't understand. What is he shooting? A stunt. Why is this funny? He's doing stunts. I guess he's a comedy now.

Speaker 3:

Comedic actor, he's giving me loser energy. He is a loser.

Speaker 2:

Told you that. That's why him and the MM lady oh, come on, yeah, but just to be seen going into something like that.

Speaker 3:

That's so not royal.

Speaker 2:

It's not cool. No well, he's gone out of the royalty, yeah, but he wanted to be seen.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he wanted, he wants attention, just like his wife.

Speaker 2:

They just want attention all the time. It's very tiresome wanting that attention.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but this is like lowbrow.

Speaker 2:

They are lowbrow. They're both lowbrow. But he's royalty, he's not. They're disowned him Out, out, he's out.

Speaker 3:

He's out.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, wow, what else Tinker owned him out out, he's out he's out.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, wow, what else tinker? Next story, now that I'm beat red because I can't go ahead. Okay, so lana del rey yeah um, she apparently walked down the aisle and married a alligator tour guide, Jeremy Dufresne Wait alligator tour guide.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I don't understand. He has alligators and lets people come see them. What does that mean?

Speaker 3:

Yes, he's an alligator tour guide. Where are the?

Speaker 1:

alligators that he tours.

Speaker 2:

Like in captivity.

Speaker 3:

So Dufresne works at airboat tours by Arthur in Des Allemans, where he explores the bayou Des Allemans, known as the catfish capital of the world. He has encountered many A-listers through his line of work, giving tours to Glenn Powell, emma Roberts and Kate Hudson. While it is unclear exactly how long Dufresne has been with the company, his employment goes back to at least 2015. I understand.

Speaker 2:

That's those boats that go over the grass and all in the marshland and the alligators just are around. I guess that's why he toured. I don't know.

Speaker 3:

He appears to have children from a previous relationship With an alligator. No, the swamp boat captain, whose Instagram is private, has given glimpses of his daughters on social media. Del Rey, for her part, does not have kids, but told the Sunday Times that she saw parenthood coming for her, but there's all these pictures, so apparently they have been married. Huh interesting. And she has married an alligator.

Speaker 2:

And hopefully, an alligator came and was the best alligator and bride's alligator, whatever you call them, and they had a team of alligators in their wedding party, I guess.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the duo's ceremony was next to the Bayou's de Alamance, oh.

Speaker 2:

So I guess their guests were alligators.

Speaker 3:

But I mean good for her. If she's happy and he makes her happy, why not?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, as long as he comes back every day from toying with alligators.

Speaker 3:

I thought, that was interesting though I was like Lana Del.

Speaker 2:

Rey married an alligator. You got to keep your legs elevated off the bottom of that boat.

Speaker 3:

I know I'd be terrified.

Speaker 2:

Me too. We can't go. They would find us and eat us off the bottom? Oh, completely Because those boats that go through the marsh are like flat on the bottom with the propeller, so you're just kind of like on this flat thing. Well, they would get us for sure.

Speaker 3:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And then there's some a new book out called Disney High. That I thought was interesting and it actually details Lizzie McGuire's Hilary Duff and LaLanne the girl who played the best friend and how they fell out, apparently over teen girl drama and career competition. And it says Lizzie and Miranda's friendship was a big part of what made Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire a hit with young fans in the early 2000s. But according to a new book, behind the scenes tensions between stars ultimately led to the latter abruptly leaving the show. In Disney High, the untold story of the rise and fall of Disney Channel's tween empire, it is written that the two young actors became close in real life early in the show's two-season run. Their characters Close.

Speaker 3:

Bond had Luff and Lelaine filming together constantly, while offscreen they lived near each other and shared milestones like shaving their legs together for the first time. The two girls were literally best friends for three quarters of the series, maybe more, and then they had a blow blow up that never got healed. Insiders told Spencer that tension surfaced as early as season one when Lelaine got to show off her vocal prowess singing Reflection from Disney's Mulan in an episode. Hilary and her mom were very upset by that because their long term plan was for Hilary to sing and, in the overall scheme of Lizzie, lelaine was the one who got to sing first.

Speaker 2:

Oh gosh, I'm so uninterested in this, I guess.

Speaker 3:

Well, I actually always wondered what happened to that girl. I didn't Lelaine, I don't even know who she is. Yes, because she disappeared.

Speaker 2:

Bye, oh my God. Did she write the book.

Speaker 3:

I don't know who wrote this book. Okay, it's a big I don't know. All right, then I don't. It's a book that's out. Let's see who wrote it.

Speaker 2:

It's okay.

Speaker 3:

It's a story.

Speaker 2:

It's a very nice story.

Speaker 3:

Drama.

Speaker 2:

Always drama on sets, especially with girls.

Speaker 3:

Just how it is I know right Yep, but I thought that the Lillian had problems.

Speaker 2:

Probably. They're probably blaming Hillary Duff on that too.

Speaker 3:

I know yeah. Whatever Okay Well then I guess we'll just move on, since you're so uninterested. I thought it was an interesting story, interesting, very interesting.

Speaker 2:

Thank you. I thought it was an interesting story, interesting, very interesting, thank you. Thank you, tim Denied. All right, moving on to the pups, guess so Pup culture. All right, here we go.

Speaker 2:

Smiley golden retriever gets helped down by mountain by new friends after injuring his paw.

Speaker 2:

A golden retriever who got injured while out for a hike with his owner has a group of volunteers to thank for his safe rescue. Crosby the dog and his owner and a second dog were trekking a strenuous trail on the Franconia Ridge Loop in New Hampshire when Crosby began to show signs of fatigue, says the NH Paw Rescue, a group of volunteers who assist with dog rescue all through the New Hampshire mountains. So this must be a common thing in New Hampshire that this happens. Crosby's owner noticed him slowing down and taking long breaks approximately five miles into the almost nine mile hike, alongside a series of photos of seven year old canine. The trio stopped briefly, rested at the Appalachian Mountain Club's green leaf hut and then slowly walked almost another mile, but they were forced to stop altogether due to Crosby suffering from exhaustion and soft tissue injury on his paw pads. The weather was stable but Crosby's owner lacked lighting enough gear to stay comfortable and did not have canine evacuation supplies. Well then, you shouldn't be hiking buddy with Crosby.

Speaker 2:

So they called for assistance at 3.30, and they responded not until 5 p 5pm. But look, he's getting carried down the mountain. Look, his paws are wrapped up. Oh no, why would they take dogs there if it's this bad? It's a very difficult 9 mile hike, Climbs of 1,800 feet to over 5,200 elevation, Exposed for long stretches. Okay, well, long story short. He's okay, but maybe don't take him again. Maybe go on your own. Exactly Next. I think we all know this wild story, Mm-hmm. Exactly Next. I think we all know this wild story. What Brittany Furlan, Tommy Lee's wife, snatches dog back from the coyote Chubbiness saved the pooch. So this Whoa. Wait what? I actually saw the video of the backyard. It happened. They had the whole thing recorded.

Speaker 3:

Oh, on the ring.

Speaker 2:

Yes, you saw the coyote, he came and grabbed it. You the ring. Yes, you saw the coyote, he came and grabbed it. You saw her.

Speaker 3:

Anyway, for those who haven't seen the video, I'll get to the story. I haven't seen the video, but go ahead. Go to the story.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you have to go to see it. You're going to be like what the heck Comedian Brittany Furlan snatched her dog from the jaws of the coyote that ran into her Woodland Hills backyard. Furlan, wife of Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, posted a ring camera video that shows a coyote running into her yard around 1 pm, attacking her two dogs, grabbing one of them, her dachshund Nina, from beside the pool. She began screaming and chased the coyote out of camera view, eventually bringing the dog back into frame. Eventually bringing the dog back into frame. When she ran inside, ferland pulled Nia inside screaming a coyote, grabbed Nina. Thank God she's a little fat because he couldn't make it over the wall with her. But she said that's why she's safe. But she climbed the wall, grabbed the dog out of the coyote's mouth. So she said please be careful with your dogs. I've lived here for four years. I've never, ever seen a coyote. And then this today happened. They're just desperate and hungry. So yeah, if you haven't seen the video, google it, because it's crazy. Whoa, she has like just a robe on and she's running around screaming. It's just crazy. Anyway, back with the royalty.

Speaker 2:

Why James Middleton that's Kate's brother wants dogs to be prescribed by doctors. They live every day as today. Dogs to be prescribed by doctors. They live every day as today. James Middleton understands the profound joy and support a dog can offer its owner. In his searingly honest new memoir, meet Ella, the Dog who Saved my Life, middleton plays tribute to his late cocker spaniel, ella, who died last year. The book not only celebrates their deep bond, but also highlights how Ella became his emotional lifeline during his darkest moments. So Middleton is the younger brother of Kate Middleton. I didn't even know that there was a younger brother.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he's 37, and he has been open about his struggle with depression. He recalls how seeing Ella one traumatic night in 2017 helped steer him away from his suicidal thoughts.

Speaker 3:

Whoa, that's intense. You think Kate is happy about this?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, why not? She likes dogs. He's a strong advocate for dogs as a form of therapy, and look here he is with all of his dogs. So that's a new book also. But it is true, like everybody gets happy when they see us, it is true.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and daily smiles. Even if you're having a bad day, a dog will help you Exactly, they get it. We get you everybody. We get it. We get you everybody, we get you. My last story how Jennifer Aniston just fell in love with her first dog, Norman, during Joey and Chandler Friends scene. Oh, Jennifer Aniston is now a children's book author. The Friends alumni who was first introduced, an animated dog named Clydeo, inspired by one of her rescue dogs, Clyde on her Instagram account in 2021, released her first of four book children's series. Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life and look how cute Clyde is. Aww. Anna Sim was just nominated for another Emmy for her role in the Morning Show, which she also executive produces.

Speaker 2:

Who wrote her new picture book to help motivate kids to explore their interest. They're focused on these phones and just disappear into the void of scrolling. She said they don't spend time being stimulated by the world and figuring out what they really want to do. The book launches concurrently with her new Clydeo Fund, which will help raise money and awareness for rescue organizations as well. We can get awareness out and help shelters that are desperately in need. She said they can't keep up and all you see is that we're euthanizing innocent, beautiful, perfectly fine two-year-old dogs, or a puppy or a litter. I can't, it's just too much and too many. She has another rescue, Lord Chesterfield. He's very cute too. The two follow Aniston's first two dogs, Norman, who died in 2011, and Dolly, who died in 2019, and remain deeply mournful to her. Still, you mentioned them and I get a lump in my throat. She said, Despite her love for the morning show, she did not grow up with dogs. Did you hear how I want to read?

Speaker 2:

this book Okay, okay, sorry, that's it.

Speaker 3:

Apparently, jennifer Aniston swatted, causing police to descend on the star's home. Why was her LA home raided Recently yes, a day ago. What, and it says, was the target of a swatting prank? A prank, according to TMZ. An anonymous caller contacted police, claiming a person at Aniston's residence needed help. Lapd officers responded to the call and arrived at Aniston's home. Swatting is a dangerous prank where individuals make false emergency calls to a specific location, often the residence of a celebrity.

Speaker 2:

It's this California people Please.

Speaker 3:

Apparently, this has been happening to a lot of people lately.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:
