Insights
  • Reality TV scandals generate intense audience engagement and moral debate, with viewers divided on relationship ethics versus personal autonomy in complex situations
  • Celebrity hosts must navigate careful neutrality when personally connected to reality show cast members, balancing friendship with journalistic credibility
  • Political figures who publicly champion family values face heightened scrutiny and reputational damage when private behavior contradicts public messaging
  • Travel logistics and airport security remain significant pain points for high-profile individuals despite premium services like TSA PreCheck and Clear
  • Audience parasocial relationships with reality TV personalities create expectations for hosts to take moral stances on cast member behavior
Trends
Increased audience demand for hosts to take explicit positions on reality TV cast member controversies rather than maintain neutralitySocial media-driven discourse analysis of reality TV moments with viewers rewatching episodes frame-by-frame for evidence of prior knowledgeIntersectional criticism of reality TV scandals incorporating race and gender dynamics in audience commentary and discoursePolitical polarization bleeding into reality TV fandom with callers connecting cast member behavior to broader political ideologyRapid news cycle amplification of celebrity scandals through multiple media outlets (Daily Mail, New York Post, TMZ) creating coordinated coverageAudience skepticism about PR strategy timing and messaging in celebrity scandal statements and public disclosuresGrowing listener interest in audiobook production quality and AI narration limitations in entertainment media

Monday, March 30th, 2026. Good morning, everybody. It's Monday morning. It is gorgeous outside. Gorgeous not wearing a jacket. Oh, I'm wearing a light spring jacket. Yes. Oh, it is gorgeous out. And I just had the funniest exchange with John. The show was starting and I turned to him. I go, he was putting his headphones on. I go, ready to hear all about my weekend. Give me a look. He goes, yep. And he put his headphones on. You had to be there, but I will be chuckling about it all day. Well, on the way to work today, I was like, you know what? We're going to hear about vitamins. We're going to hear about who know. Look, TSA, your experience in the airport. Yes. Scott, thank you very much. Scott got our toasties today. Now, did Scott get you coffee? That's part of the order now. Oh, wow. Scott, any troubles at toasties? No troubles at all. I love toasties. Those are my folks and I was happy to go. Wow. Did you get yourself something? I didn't actually, but. I'm wondering if there's a universe in which. Well, because Jordan now, you know, Jordan's gone this week. That's why Scott's getting the toasties. I'm wondering if there's a. Yeah, I kind of feel like this might. Yeah, you did it so well. Because we found out last week that Jordan is kind of Scott's boss. Yeah, we did. So now Jordan might be like, you know what? That worked well. Scott, well, it would be a situation of delegating. Yes, I was afraid that this might happen. Yeah, yeah. You executed it too well. Yeah. Oh, you know what? The problem was where you didn't do yourself any favors when you just said, toasties is my place. They're my people. It's like, oh, well, if that's your place, you belong there. Guess what? That's the main reason you should work there. That Jordan gets it is because she comes in at that time. So she just scoots into toasties. Yeah, don't try to back out. I'm already here. I've been here since early this morning, so I'd have to go back out. What time do you get it? Usually like 7 30. I like to get in real early, you know, prepare for the morning. Oh, just in case there's any train delays. You know, I don't want to be rushing in. OK. Well, now we're in the weeds. Yes. Well, now we're here. Scott's week. Yeah, exactly. Let's go back to Andy. Yeah, you're in. Yes, we are. Yo, Andy. It was AC2 in Chicago this weekend. And so Anderson and I were meant to fly at around noon or one on Friday. I did this thing Friday night. I hung out with with Palomine and John Mayer. And I did this thing Friday night where went to bed at 11 30 without having packed because I was like Friday morning, I'm going to wake up, I'm going to pack. I'll take the kids to school pack and go to the airport. Never a good idea. And also I had arranged a greeter so that TSA was not going to be an issue on Friday. Well, in the middle of the night, 3 a.m. my phone was off. But my if you call someone on FaceTime, it overrides the phone. I didn't know that. I didn't know that, or at least that's what happened. And here's Anderson FaceTiming me to tell me that our plane has been canceled. The only flight we could get out on to Chicago and we had a show Friday night. And we absolutely had to get there. Was it 7 30 a.m. He's like, get in your car at 5 30. Oh, my God. And because now we have to oh, we have no greeter. So it's every man for himself. For the people who don't know what is a greeter. A greeter is someone that you can hire to take you through security. How much does that cost? I don't know because we were I was writing it off to AC2, you know, and the times I've had it in the past. Just like a ballpark. You know, I do it. I think it's like, yeah, you can do it. I mean, anybody can do it. But like 10 grand. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't I'll find out. I think it's like 500 bucks or maybe. Well, maybe it's more. I don't know. Has to be more. OK, we'll find out. Wouldn't all these people be getting greeters then? Like it's only 500. It's got to be like only 500. I mean, it seems pretty expensive. Anyway, you got anyway, you got one. We got one, but it was canceled. No, we didn't. So now I'm like. Texting my nanny saying I need you to come in. Can I send you a car? Because I'm like. Yeah, what do you do with my children and you're not packed. And I'm not packed. I'm running around packing at 3 a.m. The bottom line is to make a very long story short. I was I'd never slept. I got those three hours of sleep. I was able to get my nanny by the squeak of time. Thank God that it overwrote the phone being off. Thank God. Thank God. Anderson saw that it was canceled. How did like he's I don't know. Yes, he's bionic. He responds to news events. I don't know. So I was. Yes. Yeah. Anyway, so what did you pack you threw stuff in a bag through stuff in a bag? Got to the airport and you made it. OK, and he made it. Nicotime went to the airport and now it's Bedlam and the Guardia on Friday morning. I just get in this line. The the lines were so long. So I got in a TSA pre-check line, which I wasn't sure if it was pre-check. And then Anderson's like, I'm in clear. I'm in clear. I'm in the clear line. Now I find clear very hit or miss. Sometimes it really helps. Sometimes it absolutely doesn't. Well, guess what? I got through my line in 12 minutes. Anderson's clear line took him over an hour. Now he was so I then go to the bar, the gate. No, I have a lady take me in a cart to the gate. Oh, you're one of those people. No, I will do it. But you just tip. They'll take anybody. You just tip them. I like the walk. And so I tipped the gal and I go, you know, Anderson Cooper is. And she goes, I thought you were Anderson Cooper. I know, but I said, I understand what you think. And I go, he is going to come down that escalator you picked me up at. I said, he's going to be close to missing his flight. Can you please wait over there for him? And here's a little something extra. So I texted Anderson. I go, I got a cart lady waiting for you. Currently, I go to the gate. Now I'm boarding the plane. Oh, and he's still not there. Oh, yeah. No, he's still in the car line. He's texting me and he's like, it's really bad. I'm worried. I say to the lady at the gate, do you know who Anderson Cooper is? And she said, no. No. And I was like, I can't forget it. So I go in the thing in the plane. I go in the plane. The thing. Don't you know that the gay flight attendant in first class? He was like, well, hello, Mr. Conn, I go, hi, I go, my old man grumpy partner, Anderson Cooper is stuck in TSA. I go in pre-check. I go in whatever. I said, I'm really worried. We has to be on the plane. Now this hot pilot overheard me and he turned and he clocked me and he kind of gave me a little bit of a wink or a nod. I was like, OK. So then the gay flight attendant comes up like 10, 10 minutes later. Anderson's like, I'm nearing the front, whatever. I go, when are you closing the doors? He goes, we are not going to close the doors without Mr. Cooper. I go, OK. So then I was like, I don't know how that's happening. So then Anderson texted. He goes, I'm on with the I'm he goes, I'm in the cart. He said, the lady. Nice. I go, OK. You hooked him up. He got in in the nick of time. But for you, you cart lady. Now this was American, right? I'm trying to even remember. No, Delta. If you're if you are like in with Delta, you usually get facial recognition, biomarkers, you don't have to do clear or TSA. You walk straight to the separate window. They look at your face and you skip everyone. Well, guess what? It was I don't know. You need to do it anyway. Um. There was a guy behind us snoring so loudly the whole flight. I was like, oh, my God, this is dry. I was actually starting to feel once I got on the plane. I was like feeling the edible that I had taken the night before, because also I was I had not slept. I had not slept. So I was just a wreck and I get to the hotel and I did that. You know how Dorenda used to say that every day at three or four o'clock, she gets like fully undressed and gets in her bed and takes a full nap. Well, I got to my hotel. Yeah, I got fully undressed. I got in my bed. I close the shades. By the way, do you know a hack? I just found this out. None of the shades in hotels close. They don't close. They won't meet in the middle. Yeah, stuff comes in. You get a hanger from the closet and they have those things clips for pants. You clip the thing. Shut up. Clip. You think I did that on your own or did Claude tell you? No, a friend told me a friend. Doug Buden says that a greeter through American for that he's gotten a couple of times for his mom was three fifty each way through biz and first class. That's a deal. That's worth it. I don't know why you would need to do that. I mean, security usually if we're not in a shutdown. He had he did it for his mom. Anyway, yes, I do it for my mom, too, actually. I, of course, was only able to get like an hour of sleep. I was like, I'm going to sleep till two in the afternoon right now. Well, that did not happen. Our shows were so great. We had so much fun. We sold out the Chicago theater. Both nights. So that was about seven thousand seats. The crowd was absolutely electric, exciting. My sister was there Friday night. My uncle Stanley and cousin Jody were there Friday night. It was really great. We had great questions. Someone got up on Friday night and asked about our relationship. Our relationship. Yes, yours and mine. What was the question? What did you say? He was like, I can't remember the question, but it was really about. How we got to the place that we're in and were we always in this place? And and then someone Friday night and asked, and he said, I want to know for both of you, what's your favorite nut? Oh, that's a great question. What is your favorite? Well, Anderson's Anderson's like, don't get me near a walnut. But he was like, one of the super food. He likes I don't know. I said pistachios, almond and cashew. And then I said, my favorite nut is usually my next nut. Yeah. Which everyone laughed at. Sure. Sure. And then someone got up the next night and asked, are your nut preferences still the same? And I go, my favorite nut is my next nut. And Anderson goes, have you been working on that line? I go, I said it last night. Yeah. He's like, oh, I didn't hear you. I'm like, do I exist in your that you don't hear me? Anyway, Saturday was so fun. Oh, and Nick and Anthony and Dan, I saw that. And I was live for there. That was super fun, Anthony, from here. And we, oh, God, we had drinks after the after the meet and greet on Friday night in the lobby of the Ritz where they were staying. This drunk gal came up who would not leave us. And she was like, right there wanted me to discover her. She was like, I mean, I'm look at me like I'm like, yeah, I'm looking at you. Yeah, I see it. Yeah, I see it. She's like, give me your info. I want to talk to you. Excuse me. I go, DM me. She goes, well, that's your nut. I go, get out of here. DM me. She's like, no, I want your info. I'm like, DM me. DM me and then Anthony gave her his. I go, yeah, this is my guy. Take his info. And then she acted the next day like, nice to me. You like the next day. You know, she like reached out to Anthony as though anyway. That was funny. Saturday, I did sleep really late. I wanted to go to the moat. No Kings March. I instead did a little retail therapy. And I love that all the manga people can say about the no kids things. Kings March is like everybody was ugly at that March. I don't know about. Is that what they're saying? My favorite one was I would rather sit shotgun in a car with Tiger Woods and go to a no Kings March on threads. And I just always say, look, fucking be my guest. Get in there. The sooner, the better, bitch. I had a great shopping day on Saturday. I need a little retail therapy. What'd you get? Oh, my God, I got some slippers at Laura Piano and or they're like outside. I don't know. They're like how fancy Birks kind of. I could wear them to bring Ben to school. I also got a top there. It's like a little knit sweater. And then I got a pair of boots at Ferragamo, which I had shipped. It was it was good. I got a pair of pants at J Crew, which I'm wearing right now. Our Saturday show was outstanding. Austin Kroll came. He was backstage and broke a mug backstage. They got us a huge cake, the Chicago theater that was like congratulations on two sold out weekends. But like no one that came back and then Connie's pizza sent us pizza. Thank you, radio Andy listener. But they bring us this big cake. Oh, and nerds, which is based in Chicago, brought me tons of nerds, which was amazing. But this cake, I got really codependent because I'm like, we have this huge cake and no one who was in our room ate it. I would eat it. And Anderson had a little piece. I had a little piece. So then I cut a few pieces and I threw them in the garbage to make it look like people like. Is this a sign of codependency, though? Yeah, I've said I was very codependent. I didn't want them to feel bad. I was like, oh, we all love the cake. Look. Like they always say, like if you're at dinner and you hate your food and you didn't eat it and they come at you, was anything wrong? And you say, no, I'm just not hungry when you hated it. And then they'll say, do you want to box it up? And sometimes I go, yes. And then I throw it in the trash, but you could just be like, I didn't like it. I cut it up when people when the chef brings me like here. Here's raw, whatever. It's a specialty. I like cut it up and put it on a bunch of plates and hide it under the bread. Yeah, I definitely do that. Anyway, oh, Austin got up. I go, Austin, you got to ask a question. I go, you know, you ask a question. So he got up and asked Shag Mary kill Craig Austin, Shab, which is always a great question, but even funnier when he delivers it. And that was so I said. Shag Craig, Mary Austin kill Shab, kill myself. But I said, I'm marrying you just because you're here. So I might have. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, yeah, actually, I maybe I didn't marry him because he was there. Who knows? Shab is just funny. I like them. That's hilarious. Okay, but this was amazing. We had such good meet and greets and I met so many radio Andy listeners and some of whom we had spoken to on the radio. Yeah, a lot of people said they were going to go. Absolutely. I met anybody we know like Susanna from Idaho. Did she drive in? Well, no, she was scissoring in Mexico. I got my phone is. Oh, is it frozen? No, it's it's it's doing that thing. Where it it transcribes everything I'm saying. Oh, God, I'm like, oh my God. Anyway, so no, I met the woman who adopted the daughter from Asia. After a couple months, the single mom, she called in the other day and the daughter is so beautiful. And it's clear this woman is such a good mom and I met the daughter and the daughter brought her there was so great. And but this was the amazing thing. A radio Andy listener brought a chain that you could put around. It's a chain like a tag for a kitty cat or a little girl. A collar and it says Larry. Oh, it's engraved and it says Larry because Lucy's been pretending to be Larry the cat. And on the other hand, it says I am property. Lucy, co-women for Larry the cat. But then I was thinking, oh, my God, that is so cute. I'm going to give it to Lucy for her birthday. But then I'm like, I'm playing into this idea that she thinks she's a cat. I was ever like, no, no, no, no. Here's what I think I'm going to do. I think I'm going to get a stuffed cat and I'm going to put it around this stuff. And I'm going to be like, look, it's Larry the cat. Punch the monkey property of Lucy Cohen. Yes, I can be her her comfort. I feel a little better about that. And that's a nice gift. And then we went to sidetracks on Friday night. Did you just go to Steamworks? No, I did not. I wouldn't like to. We went to sidetracks and the gay guys in Chicago are so nice. Yes. And so many people came over and said, I just want to say hello. And I like your show and shook my hand and walked away. I'm like, are you elegant? Yes, I mean, it was amazing. Everybody's. Yeah. So nice. And then I stayed out late, barely got any sleep. And then here I was on the plane yesterday. I slept the entire way. John, good. I think I snored. You know what? You probably did when you're so tired. But here I was ridiculing the guy snoring. You never heard Ben and I. It's crazy. Now I got home. I got home. Ben was so psyched to see me. Lucy was taking a nap. Ben goes, I go, let's go to the playground. He goes, let's bring the soccer ball. Ball. I kicked a soccer ball with Ben in the playground yesterday for like two hours. I had the best time. It was a great day yesterday for that. Awesome. And I was going to look. I was standing there. I was like, I should see if John wants to like. Wander over. And then I was like, you know what? Get off your phone. Just focus on Ben, whatever. I will say, and we've got John Hamm coming up in 10 minutes. He's going to be here live. I was stunned. And you were here when I talked about it. I was stunned at the amount of pickup that the alleged feud I'm in with Sarah Michelle Geller. This was a lot. Anderson's like, are you in a feud with Buffy? You like it really riled up the Queens. It was so stupid. Was I was I did I? I really heard all about it. You did. Yeah, I started the Queens who are like from the Queen. Where was the I better than his morning? There was a little of that. I the way it was clipped made it seem like it was you were shitting on her. But you were saying like why about like. I was annoyed. Your radio and released the video and put out this video when it was in my studio. That's all. Yeah. And ultimately, by the way, I was also just griping, you know, I'm looking for things you love Sarah Michelle Geller is the end of the story. So she texted me. She goes, I just read on TMZ. We're in a fight. Oh, we're in a huge feud. I go, we have to go on Kelly's show to to squat squash the beef. Like it was so if those Queens would have listened to the show when she was on. It was a love fest. And I felt like, wow, these are two best friends I'm left out. And I guess my point about Beverly Hills is I think some shows have a different rhythm. By the way, I started watching it as we discussed last night. Oh, I'm now I'm in Italy. Italy train. Yeah. I you're right. I like to jump in late in the game and like let the season. I think it's a fun watch. I really do. It's gorgeous. It's beautifully shot. I'm definitely it got Rachel Zoe is a queen. She's amazing queen and a star. I'm so amazing. Tuesday, March 31st, 2026. Good morning, everybody. Mandy Cohen in New York here with John Hill. Hey, John. Good morning. Morning. How's it going? It's going great. I have to say it's going very well. I'm going to Mexico City this week. In the NLA. Oh, looking forward to it. Very nice. Yeah. I'm picking the kids up and going to a snowless Aspen, Colorado. Nice. Yes. That'll be fun. We will be snowless. Aspen. Yeah, we did. And we rode the summer. Yeah, I love aspen. We saw a carrot top in a t-shirt store there once. Did you? When we were there? Huh. Would you do it with care? Is there any point in carrot tops life that you would have done it? Unfortunately, yes. Really? Yeah. Like when he was all roided out. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Do you like avoided out guys? I there's something about it that is like how I would assume straight guys look at like a stripper with fake tits. Okay. There's a look. I can. Oh, this can be crazy. Yes. Fun. And that's how I feel about. Yeah. I mean, that's how I feel about kind of like male exotic dancers. It's like a stripper. Yeah, with tits. Yes. Big. Yeah. Right. Okay. I get that. You know, and carrot top. Listen. Yeah, I probably would have. Right. Okay. I mean, the face. It's challenging. But I could have done it. And I think what is your general feeling about doing it with someone with a super hot body and a busted face? I don't do it. I'll still do it. I will. If I if I listen, I'm actually pretty forgiving about about the face. Yeah, but like I mean, sometimes a busted face makes you more attractive. I agree. Yeah. That's why I did it. You. Yeah. I'll take that. No, I think like if somebody has a cool. Yeah, I know a lot of people date me for my body. It's right. Yeah. I think if somebody has a cool personality, a good sense of humor, they are hot to me. I just want to find someone with like an old bones, bag of bones fetish. And it's like, oh, you're my guy. I like old bags of bones. It's funny because as I'm getting older, I realized like the people who come for me, I'm like, what are you into old? Are you? What do you mean come for you? Yeah, like the people on me, people that are presenting yours. Like I've had a couple who are like, oh, I'm so into older men. I'm like, shut the fuck up. Right. That's that gives me glee. Yeah, people are putting you in that box. Well, people have been putting me in that box for 20 something years because also I've been old for a little time. I just never liked an old man. But I always had gray hair. But these guys, they like people like you know what? Yes. And there are some guys I'm too young for. Wow, some of these younger guys like an old man, right? Like an old, which that gives me hope. Right. I was at the playground the other day. I was, you know, you go to these playgrounds and I don't know. No, well, I'm telling you, you go to these playgrounds and it's like, oh, we ran into like this kid from his class. And so now I'm sitting on a bench with a dad who's this kid's dad. And we only know each other through seeing the, you know, at at kid events. But you know, you wind up sitting there on a bench with someone and you have very deep conversations that can go. I'm sure all different directions. But one of the things. Yeah. One of the side conversations that I was having with this guy, which I didn't. This gentleman told me now I don't eat beets. So I wouldn't know this. Do you eat beets? They're very good for you. They feed your blood. That's not the question. Do you eat them? If they're prepared correctly. Um, I don't like a raw beat. Okay. I like a beat that's slightly dressed or presented with some sort of. You like a beat beat. Yeah. I like it to be beat. Well, this gentleman told me that when you eat beets, your pee becomes pink or red. I don't know about every single person. Some people's urine is not affected by things like a speck of a poo. But you've heard this. I have heard that. Wow. I didn't know. You got to eat a lot of beets, I think. Scott, had you heard that about beets? I have not. And also, I mean, I would double check that. I've never noticed that my pee has been pink or anything. If Jordan was here, I would have her asked. Right. But she's not here. So. Yeah, she's not. I know. I think pee, like red pee is never good. According to Google AI, yes, consuming beets can turn your urine pink or red. Wow. A harmless temporary condition known as Bittoria. Might as well. Bittoria. Bittoria. That's a beautiful name for a young lady. Oh. Bittoria. Have you met my daughter, Bittoria? Queen Bittoria. Otherwise known as red piss. Oh my God. I had to. I was at said playground and speaking of red, red Bittoria, I really had to go and I was like, OK, and I said to the other dad, I go, I look, I got a run in pee. I'll be right back. Because the bathrooms at the playground were not we're out of order, of course. And so I raced to my old building that I used to live at. And there is. I've told you about that bathroom off the side of where the doorman is that I used to use, like, you know, several times a week. Well, I just did what I did when I lived in the building. I raced and I looked at who was at the desk. I go, I got to pee. I got to pee. He's like, Hey, man, I went in and then I came out. I was like, do I have any packages? Just for old times sake. It's kind of sweet. Then we gossiped about building stuff. Yeah. Then I left. But I mean the bathroom, my new building, I have a doorman and there is a bathroom by the doorman. They they've just finished construction of it before I moved in. They like just built it. I love it. I feel like it's my bathroom. I feel like I live there. Like, Hey guys, here I go. This is my, this is my spot. I don't know if other people in the building use it or what, but I love those bathrooms. Anyway, I was standing outside my gym waiting for my friends to go to our little party and this guy came up and he's like, hi, I work for the city. Can I ask you some questions about scaffolding? I was like, okay, sure. I said, I don't think I have any feelings about scaffolding and he interviewed me for like eight minutes about it. Wow. I like doing those surveys that can help things. You know, yeah, I like it. Tomorrow night is Passover the first night and muzzle. Thank you. Ben is he's practicing, you know, the youngest member at the Seder table asks what are called the right questions and then is going to be and is one of the four questions. Where's Elijah? No, you save a seat for her. You save you leave the door, leave the door cracked for Elijah. So he's going to be doing that. And I just know that I'm going to be just in tears from it. I think it's going to be very sweet. It's tomorrow night. I love going to those dinners with you. He's practicing. I've so fun. I feel like the listening to I don't think I can listen to the Liza Manelli book anymore. Really? Yeah. I just find the AI too sloppy and upsetting and I just think it's so weird. I listened. I took the subway out of here the other day after we got off the air and I was like, let me get back in this between the getting fighting going. Singing, dancing, no G's in the book. It is so weird. Burning and then the mama papa, mama papa, mama papa. Great. It's because it's all one. There's no dynamics. There's no levels. It's one intention. She says the same. Yeah. The same energy is given to and then mama was slicing her. Slice in her wrist. Slice and bleeding and bumping and dumping. Yes. So like, then I got a job. But you know what I mean? It's all the same. There's no humanity to it because it is weird. A robot. So I think so now I say we burn it. Let's burn every book. Nick or Anthony was saying that they listen to it at one and a half speed or I'm listening it to it on one. It's almost worse. But I'm getting through it and I just want to get through it. I feel like what I might do is brace yourself. Read it. Yeah. Well, I read every night now. Really? Yeah. What are you reading? Anything good? I am this book recursion by Blake Crouch and then I'm going to read my husband's wife. What is that? The thriller. Oh, yeah. I used to. Before that, I just had to train my brain to remember what it's like to actually process words on a page instead of listening or reading even on a Kindle. Like I want to read a book just for my soul's sake. Good. Every night. Even if it's just for five minutes, I make sure I do it. It's the last thing I do before I go to sleep. Good. Yeah. That is very good. No screens, no nothing. I need to. I got to get into that. Well, you keep your phone by the bed, right? I mean, yes, I do. Okay. So I think you instead of turning your phone off like you had at the other night, right, put your entire phone in the bathroom and leave it on and the alarm wakes you up and makes you go in there. I know. But what if the phone rings? I'll hear it ringing from the other room. I think go get it, but like don't have it near you in the room. Let make your bedroom a sacred chamber of no technology. You know what? The one place you need a cocoon. You're right. A sanctuary of no screens. Just do it. Because also I get woken up anyway. Of course. And by the way, yeah. You'll hear it. I promise you you'll hear it. Put it. No, but I don't need it. Yeah, you don't. I don't need it. It's tempting to grab it and look at it and now I don't look at that shit. Right. I don't want to be the first thing in the morning anymore. Got to protect your soul. Would you believe I have to go back to the eye doctor today and get my eyes dialed? Did you get to see that hot man? He's on vacation this week. Where? Meekanose? No. Fort Lauderdale? No. I don't know where he is. P.V.? Don't worry about it. Well, find out. I'll find out. I want her location. I know. No, I'm done talking about the hot doctor. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm not. We can talk about it off there. I love hearing about a hot doctor, but okay, we'll move on. Me too. I have a hot doctor. Let's get into listener mail. Okay. Here we go. Listener mail. Listener mail. Wendy from Chicago. I went to AC2 Saturday night and you looked amazing. I had no idea where you find the time to work out that housewise montage. Was elite? Is it shared anywhere? Whoever put it together should get a raise. My face literally hurt from smiling. Zara. Zara. Is it available anywhere? No. No, you got to come to the show to see it. Exactly. Michael in Chicago. Andy, let's face it. You're a dog person. It's clear from the sound of your voice that you don't want a cat. Stop trying to please everyone else and forget this idea. As a fellow person allergic to cats, try to acclimate to a cat is difficult, uncomfortable, and doesn't always work. Listen to your gut and also to your nanny and consider a dog. I thought I said hog. I'm sure Ben and Lucy would love a dog as much as a cat. Achoo. Well, a dog. I mean, a little puppy. Listener mail. Listener mail. Oh, Michelle B in Toronto, Canada. I'm going to have to paraphrase this. This is very long. Hi, Andy. Long time fan. I listen every day. Just re-listen to Andy Cohen Diaries on a flight. I couldn't believe the change in your voice. Callers have mentioned multiple times. Voice has become more gravelly. Please go get your throat checked. Might be from overuse. It could be potentially something more serious. OK. And then her mom had a horrible situation. OK, let's go to the next one. This is info. Get your voice checked out. John, this is from John. If you saw Liza at the Glad Awards recently, you'd know there is no way she could read an entire book out loud. You have no way. Absolutely not. Because also, as I was going to say, you have recorded many books on tape. And you have all everyone who does it that I know has written a book and had to read it says it is painstaking. Yes. You can't make it. Sandy, poor Lucy trying to exist in a Ben and Ben and Ben world. OK. You know what? You don't know. You know what? It just. I totally get it. Ben has more going on. She's, you know, trust God less going on. No, she's got ballet today. Right. Yesterday she had gymnastics. She has activities every day. Trust me. There's she's got a lot going on. OK. Rick from Dundalk, the caller who called in on Wednesday show to say that Andy needs a speechwriter pissed me off. It'd be like telling William Shakespeare to get a ghostwriter. It would be like having to tell Andy Warhol to rewrite his book to tone it down. When will Jen John write his memoir? I'm working on one. John has written a few books that are very good. I have a really great one that you're going to like. Good Christian from Massachusetts. I was just listening to Tuesday show when you guys were talking about the JT video of a couple of thoughts. John, I can't believe with your commenting on the video, you had no comment on the horrible woman who was with him. Oh, I didn't see this part other than the joke he attempted to make that fell flat. I thought he was very well behaved for someone who's clearly plastered, but that woman was a nightmare. She should have been given a sobriety test before being allowed to drive away. I did not see a woman in the lips as a person who had a DOI agree. You are fair. I agree. You're fair game. I can only speak for myself on this, but when I got it 20 years ago, it scared me straight. You're subject to any and all ridicule when it comes to it. I was impressed when he was slapped. Basically the same penalty I received being famous. I figured he would just walk away with nothing but a slap on the wrist. Okay. Yeah, it's a serious thing. It's literally, it's like, yeah, Rachel Handler just wondering if Andy, if you're ever going to bring back your Instagram lives that you would do spontaneously on Saturday nights. You know, if you're drunken bored, right? Maybe. Yeah. Chris from South Carolina one first, I was on the last Whisper Wednesday, a caller admitted that he stole Sandra Burnhardt's tambourine at one of her shows and ultimately returned I've been wondering whether you shared that story with Sandra. Oh, if so, it was a response. If not, I would love to hear a response. I'm sure she's on. Two, I know that you think you sound like Austin Kroll because of your raspy voices, but please, though, please stop doing the man. It's in bit. You actually just did it again as I'm listening live right now. The first few times. It's a bit cute, but now it's getting too much. Maybe let's move on to another awesome one. I don't do it that much. Well, listen, you do stuff. You overdo it like with Louise Mandrell with the cats, you know, you, but that's your charm. I haven't been doing anything with cats. Oh, you mean meowing. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Kells Bells, almost a housewife, 2009. I just adore you both and listen to you and the Smith sisters every day. Could you please recommend a good airplane book? You read more than most people and have great taste. So hopefully you want my meat asking. Thanks for the recommendation. Yes. I'm going to go with the woods and project. Tell Mary and Long Island compromise and my husband's wife and recursion. My husband's wife sounds like the name of a porn movie because by the way, there was one called my sister's husband, which is a whole different. Oh, also Kells Bell's read heated rivalry. Shit. Yeah. Go for it. Charles from Miami for nearly two weeks. You hyped up the recent episode of summer house as Kyle's worst moment on the radio and watch weapons live. Watch the entire excuse me. I mentioned two days, two separate times. I was like, yeah, bad, you know, it was Kyle's worst episode. Weeding on this epic meltdown for just another typical Kyle moment. Oftentimes you hype up shows or episodes only for them to fall flat. I can't count how many seasons blah, blah, blah. I know it's part of what you do, but I'm beginning to lose faith in your opinions. Oh, Charles. Well, listen, it was what I was refer. I was shocked when he was in the bathroom and he said to her, your F you, you effing dumb shit. I think he said, and I was just like, if anyone ever spoke to, I don't know. And I was shocked by her reaction to it. Brad. Hey, Andy, didn't you say your eye doctor was married? You said you met him and his wife out somewhere and you said, I'm your husband's favorite patient and you're. Dermot. And you said they are. Also, do you think SJP will have plans to write an autobiography ever love to hear about her career from Andy to square pegs and footloose to Sex and the City? Thanks. I don't know if she would. She should. She definitely should. It would be so epic. It would be so good. What a good story. Back with more from this week's Daddy Diaries after this.

It's been a, open me up, it's been a morning. It's been a morning for me. I got TMZ at Ben's school. No, yeah. Like, were you wearing the suit though? Cause you look good. Yeah, I was wearing this. Thank God. Like, all right, TMZ, like can I drop my kit off before we get into this? Um, they were ambushing you about summer house. Yes. Okay. I had to run up to the eye doctor this morning, which is on 65th and Park. You should just move in. I've been there already. They had to measure the pressure in my eye. Then I had to come here. Scott, do you want to talk about my toasties now? Oh my God. What happened? Let's talk about it. Okay. So the order is, and I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate you getting a great order. What have you been told that the order is? Oh, here, let me look it up. Cause I have scooped out onion, bagel, egg white. Thank you. The funny thing is, is when I called, I said I'm calling for Jordan because they know, they know her back there. And she was like, Oh, I got the order. And I was like, can you repeat it back to me? I just want to make sure it's correct. She repeated it back to me. I swear she repeated it back the correct order. Did she say scooped out onion, bagel, onion, bagel? All right. So, um, all good. It wasn't scooped out. No. Okay. Well, mine is perfect. Okay. Thank you for, well, I see you had no trouble eating it. Yeah. I was starving running all over town and dodging TMC. You need your energy to talk about this tea. Thank you. I have tea. Oh my God. Well, I heard from a lot of people. I heard from people I hadn't spoken to in years. Really? And I was the last to know. I didn't hear these rumors before. I'm like, not. You hadn't heard these rumors before? Wow. I know. Well, maybe I had and I didn't care. Let me say this. Um, I will say that I saw a lot of conspiracy theories online yesterday that I somehow knew about this. Did you? I did not. Um, I really feel for Sierra. Of course. I was surprised by the statement. I was surprised by what it said or what it didn't say. And I was surprised by what it didn't say. Um, I have so many questions and, uh, the reunion is coming up. And boy, do I have a lot of questions. When is the reunion? It's in a few weeks. I will say this. Um, I do think it's worth reminding everybody, uh, all the passionate fans of the show that these are real people involved. Right. And so these are real people involved. Right. Yes. What? Yeah, they are. Listen, you sign up for reality show. You, you sign up for the pile on sometimes. If you're going to play. I understand. I'm just gonna play in people's faces of beloved other people on the show. Yes. Well, I'm not saying anybody needs to be doxed or threatened or. Okay. Well, then. In danger. Okay. Well, that's what I think. That's what I'm. Okay. Well, then. Threaded. There's a middle ground. You can thread, but just know these are real people who are dealing with a lot. Right. A real, sometimes dumb people. But yeah, I really feel for Sierra that picture of her yesterday and. You know, even talking to John Ham last night and watch what happens live. I saw that. If you had said to her on the, your friends at like, how are you? She said, I've been better. I mean. Well, she's a star. I just, well, she is a star. She's a star. And then you watch last night's episode and she's buying a house. I mean, I didn't see those other two on traders ever. Anyway, um, so more to come on this conversation, more to come. Now, can I talk about my favorite story on the planet? Take all bitties. Fucking. No. The nastiest bitch in the planet. Kristi. No. Is I hope you are. I hope you are. Kristi. No, is I hope you are having the day and the week and the month that you deserve to have you vile, vile woman. And by the way, I do think it's important much as I said, these are real people involved. I don't want to kink shame. No, no, no husband of hers. Go off, you know, where are your kids? Put your tits on. Be my big titted bitch. That's what you want to be. If you want John Hill, you know what? Motorboat me. I have an open invitation to the husband of Kristi Noom. I've talked about my desire for tits so many times. Come to studio 10. I love tits. Let John and I motor. We will treat you like the bitch that you want us to treat you like. Yeah. Absolutely. My God. Absolutely. Having a big titty fetish is so fascinating. Like it's amazing that someone has something interesting going on. She's just a basic ass. Yes. She's just a rotten person. Like at least he's wearing tits. That's great. I just love it that it's always the people who are moralizing to everybody else about right and wrong and right and wrong. Yeah. This should be simple. People calling like why are you hate all conservatives? No, you don't. Like my dad taught me early on if someone's bragging about their family values and their Christianity and bragging about it, they are wearing tits at home on webcam. He didn't say like that. But right. They're juggling tits. Kristi Noom. They hate trans and on trans day availability. By the way, we hate a visibility, but it's not. We can't like that's not the point. I know this. I had to make a lot yesterday. I really did have to make the point a lot yesterday. And I know for people who don't know the nuance, a man dressing up a woman's clothes might seem like the same thing, but it's really it's really a cross dresser. Right. I mean, I don't really know what it is for him, but I think it certainly looks like it. I love his facial expression when he's looking into the webcam, you know, and do you think he made the tits wonky on purpose one nipple up here one over here? Yeah, they were lopsided. I think that's part of it. I think he wants a natural unnatural nipple interest, you know, asymmetrical. They're just shoved. They're so big they're shoved in here and they barely fit because I'm such a slutty big tidbit. Ben, I love it. I and fuck Kristi Noom. Could not believe it because then the Daily Mail came out first and I was like hitting a paywall. And then when the New York Post started going in, I was like, oh, this is this is real. This ain't just a Daily Mail thing. I think they don't care that way. I think they're like, you know what, give the people the big tiddy story. I think they're dealing with such disgusting things behind closed doors. This is nothing to them. They're like, oh, yeah, well, Kristi's husband wears big tits. Just throw that out there today. And she had an affair with that Corey Lewandowski. She probably doesn't like big tits. All right. Wow. Him sitting behind her at that hearing just recently where she ate ass so horribly and fell in her face. Was he thinking like, are the pictures of my tits gonna come out? Because you have to know they're coming out. You have to know. If you wear tits on the webcam, you need to understand it will surface. The tits are coming out. They're coming out. They are coming out. All the tits coming out for a public affair. All the tits coming out for a public affair. Oh my God. I love it. I want every I just I want it to last forever. I want it to last forever. I think I'm going to have to post about it on threads every day. I just I absolutely love it. It's so fun. I love it. And she is asking. Did he order them from like the drag store? Did he make them? He's asking for privacy. She's asking for privacy. For a family. Whereas she after her ICE agents murdered those people, she was like, yeah, sorry, those families deserve it. You know what, Christy? Yeah, fuck you. You enjoy. Yeah. Enjoy Christy. No, no, no, no. There will be no like, oh, please respect. Like don't don't embarrass. You deserve you kill your dog. You deserve this is easy making fun of tits. That's nothing. Yeah. To what I'd like to do. You go talk to your friends at CPAC. That dog is up there in heaven doing the business. He is letting her have it down here. Karma. Yes. Yeah. You shot me. I'm going to give your husband big tits and show the world. Oh my God. What a rotten, nasty, ugly lady. And I'm talking about Christy, not him. I haven't seen the second episode of the comeback where she goes on traders. Have you seen it? Is it out yet? Yeah. I think it came out Sunday night. Did you know that Jack O'Brien is in the show? Jack O'Brien who directed Hairspray? Yes. No, I didn't know that. Yes. What does he do? He is so good. Really? Yes. Wait, hold on. Is that Jack O'Brien who's the old hairstylist who she runs into? Yes. Does she wind up hiring him as her hairstylist? I don't know. No spoilers here. Okay. Oh, really? Oh, that's really. He's so good. It was an acting debut. It makes so much sense that they would get the best director of the American theater to be an actor in their show. And he's so good with like dramaturgy. Yes. I mean, having that person on set is so brilliant. He's such a good actor too. Right. Wow. I will, I'm excited about episode two. I'm excited to see what's out on the comeback on traders. I mean, forget it. Forget it. I would like to see this thing. I would like a whole season about her on traders. I would like a whole season about her on Chicago. I know. These are these are big deals. They are, but I love it that they're sprinkling them in. Yeah. No, you know, it's an embarrassment of riches. It really is. It is so smart. Oh my gosh. You and I were talking a little. So tomorrow is Rhode Island housewife premiere. Tonight is the Valley premiere. There's a lot going on. There is a lot going on. There's a lot going on. I feel very discombobulated. Well, how was the pressure in your bowl? It's better. The pressure in my eye is better. Got to see my hands. I wasn't going to bring it up. He said, do you want to talk about it anymore? My handsome protege. I talked to her this morning. First thing. Any thoughts on him for you? I don't know. No. Any thoughts? No. No. Is he seeing anybody? I don't know. That means yes. Is this now did you put on facial beat to go around town? Do I have good looks? Great. No, I have some. I have some tanning. Yeah. Well, you you exfoliated or you blended it well because I'm not seeing any poop smears. Thank you. Thank you. But you're glowing. Oh my god. You're crazy. So tomorrow we leave for spring break. I thought all the mess at the TSAs was over, but it's. That's what I said to you yesterday and you're like, it's over. They told me to get there five hours today, which would mean. Right now I'm going with my children tomorrow morning. Like what? Do you think I'll be OK with three hours before I fly? Absolutely. Yeah. Without question. Right. Yes. Without question. OK. I'm not checking the bag. Everything is such a mess right now in this country. I just I can't believe the chaos. I can't believe it, but it's just incredible how much it's hurting the people. Like living in this country. We are faced with this bullshit of the ineffectiveness of our government. It's quite incredible. But at least Kamala Harris isn't president because if that would have happened, then the genders would chop off your kids. Dicks. Yes. And we would be at war. Right. We're at war anyway. Yeah. At least at least there's that. Right. All right. Well, the phone lines are lit up. I guess we should get into it. Mary from all island. Hi, Andy. I just wanted to comment on the summer house. They ask go first. I agree. Nobody should be threatened obviously in the real people, but you have to have an opinion on how reprehensible this is. Right. I mean, you're family with West and you haven't spoken to him. Are you just going to be waiting for the reunion? I will say any. I will say they're, you know, look, I'm not here's what you need to know about this. I am not an executive producer of this show. I am not. I'm really the host of Watch What Happens Live. I will really be probably dealing with everybody on the show and on the reunion. You know, I don't produce this show. I don't have a stake in this. My, you know, I think she's talking about dinner with these guys a lot. No, I've never I've gone. I went to dinner with the guys of summer house. I met them for a burger after a reunion two years ago. So didn't you just recently hang out with West? I mean, I ran into yes. I ran into West at corner bistro a few weeks ago. Yes. See solo or was he? He was with the group. You've blown away by this. Aren't you just disgusted by the whole system? Yes, I am blown away by it. I definitely am. I definitely am. Yes. Well, it should it should be a good reunion, but it would not be nice to hear like, are they just going, they just blew up their whole lives for what? That's one of the questions, isn't it? Yeah, definitely. Yeah. I mean, she's going to hopefully she's getting the the alien. Yeah. I mean, she was she was already on the carpet at the Oscars. She was on the car. So I mean, she is she is riding a star that she's been riding for a while. So that star will continue to ascend. There's no question about that. And how dare they make me feel bad for Kyle? That is a surprising offshoot, isn't it? Yeah, I just can't believe that this is all exploded. And we just started liking West again. Yeah, I just kind of came around. Thanks, Mary Whitney. What's up? Hey, it's Whitney from Westchester with the baby. I'm having trouble mothering during this. Like, okay, so I'm feeling like West is not getting the same amount of scrutiny. I don't know if you guys are as Amanda. Oh, you think Amanda is getting more scrutiny? Yeah, because of the Sierra connection. Yeah. Well, I think they both are. I think that the, you know, it's clear from the show that Amanda and Sierra are good buddies. And look, I think they're both getting tons of scrutiny. I mean, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, like I said before, I was surprised by that statement. I was surprised by what it said. I was surprised by what it didn't say. What it didn't say. You know, it's so in regards to Sierra. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And I love seeing like Hannah Burner entering the chat and all these other people that, um, yeah, it's wild. Andy, how do you go about your day when this stuff is happening? Well, again, I'm not a producer of Summer House. Yeah. It is a little jarring to drop my child off at school and have TMZ be there to ask me about this. Uh, and again, I'm just, I'm, you know, if you're looking for, you know, hot takes on this, I'm probably not your guy. No, no, I know, I know, no, I need space actually, but I decided to call it. And so. Yes, yes, good, good. We'll go. I love you guys. Your, your child is your biggest priority, of course. I know. Yes. No, he is, he is. But, um, all right, love you guys. Thank you. Love you. Thank you. Bye. Okay. Who do we have next? Sarah in Florida. Hey, Sarah. Hi, I'd say good morning, but it's certainly not one. Do you, Andy, in retrospect, looking back when Sierra and Amanda were on Watch What Happens Live together earlier in the season, did you see, like, is there any, like, weird body language from Amanda? Because Sierra was gushing about West, but at one point, was there any, like, like, I want to go back and watch that now with fresh eyes, but in the moment, looking, like, did you see anything? Nothing that I can, um, nothing that I can recall. People are, people are. I'm going to go back and watch it. Yeah, people are going back and watching these things and they're kind of, uh, taking a fine tooth comb to these appearances and things like that. And it just, you know, for me, reeks of self-denial. Maybe, I don't know what they were thinking, like, well, maybe this will turn out okay. Like, I think they were just avoidant and in denial and not honest with themselves about what they were doing and their bad behavior, bad actions. Right. Right. Yeah, because apparently it was going on before the Super Bowl that Sierra was at the Super Bowl with West. So there's just a lot of, like, it's really, really mess, I think in my opinion, a bigger betrayal than Scandival. My driving force and I'm so afraid of being embarrassed that I think that prevents me from making big, huge public mistakes a lot of times. Like, but West seems to not worry about that. Unburdened by anxiety, apparently. Like, I'll just do this and if I get humiliated, that'll be okay. Like, I don't understand going through life like that. And I don't know, maybe I should. Um, well, thank you very much. Let's go to Stephanie in Alabama. Hey, Andy. Hey. I totally am in dissent of all everyone. I think you love who you love and that happens. And I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Sierra had her chance and they fell in love. Kyle and Amanda were done. Sorry. That's one way of looking at it. But I think one of the issues is, say that happened, perfect world scenario. Oopsie, we fell in love. If it were me and that were a tough situation, I would have gone to Sierra first. And that's honey. I have something shocking to tell you. I don't know how to explain this, but we have fallen in love. Our first priority is you and making sure that you're respected. And they said, oh, you know what? Fuck her. Right. She'll find out like the rest of the world. I just think it's still disrespectful. I agree with you. Yes. It is disrespectful in that sense, but I'm sorry. I don't agree with the Arianna Maddox being so famous because she got cheated on. She was the cheater to begin with with Tom Sandoval. What makes her better? Okay. Well, listen, I don't want to re-litigate. Sorry. That's just my opinion in it. You all need to be special for being a cheater when she was a cheater. So anyways, I hope Amanda and Wes have the best. Okay. Okay. Elaine from St. Louis. Hey, I know you were mentioning that you've only socially been with Wes a few times, but I did see you at the St. Louis hockey game with Wes and his family. Yes, I did. Yes, clock it. Clock her tea. And I just hope that you understand that the women feel that Wes is just not a good person. He has treated Sierra poorly. I doubt he stays with Amanda. This will probably break up by summer. And I just feel like he deserves to be drilled down on. Elaine, yes. I have no question that he will get drilled down on at the reunion. Okay. I hope so because I feel like you have a friendship with him. Well, I like all of them. You know, I will say that I liked Tom Sandoval before all this happened too. And we had a reunion and I will say, Tom Sandoval got drilled down by everybody in that entire room. So, um, excuse me. I have no doubt that you will. I'm just saying that looking at from a woman's standpoint and a man's standpoint are different because socially I totally get that you're friendly with them, but he has been terrible. I'm not, I'm not arguing with you right now. I agree. Candy, thank you for all the shows that you do produce. And I love Bravo. I love you and thank you again. Thanks so much. Chris from St. Louis. Hi, you know what? I'm sorry, but good morning, gentlemen. I'm on West's side. Wow. Sierra and I am. I'm sorry. I love Sierra. She's a cute as a bug, sweet as candy, but she felt this way about him this season. Why did she not tell him, let's give him another shot? I really have feelings for you. Well, I think that the other thing is we don't know what happened after the season wrapped. We haven't seen the rest of the season. There's a lot to be seen and heard from. So we don't have a sense of that. That is correct up to this point. Yes. I'm feeling West's side. I'm feeling you're a nurse, I'm a doctor. You are not a suit and tie guy. You want a commitment. Go on the Bachelorette. She's playing, she's going to play the victim way too much on it. Oh, okay. Sorry. That's the way I feel. All right. Okay. Thank you so much. Lisa in Connecticut. So I just had a quick question. I wanted to get your news media perspective, why they would drop it in the middle of the day when everyone's at their desk, the day of their show, six hours they're going to get huge ratings, and then one to two weeks before the reunion, unless they're not contractually obligated to go, and their PR people are saying, do this, everyone will hate you and you don't have to show up. I was like, who are these PR people? Why wouldn't they bury the lead on Easter morning or, you know, sometimes like, like a very, it seems like a very like selfish of them to drop it. Then like, oh, now we're going to be in the news even more. Like, I have no idea. I'm going to get from your PR. Yeah. I have no idea about the timing. They did it on their own. It's their story to tell. And the vibe to me was that it wasn't strategized. I feel like who are these people they pay? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. And then everyone wants to know what the seating chart's going to be. Yeah. Well, I think it, I think you have a little bit of an idea. All right. Thank you. Jennifer and Nashville. So I wanted to follow up on a previous caller that said, on behalf of all women, we stand with Sierra. That is absolutely not true. Oh boy. Yeah. No, go west. Sierra, she was done with him. And now I think she wants to act like she's upset. Well, again, it's not. No. First of all, it's, it's, you're also dealing with her friend who is the woman involved in this. Yeah. It's a disrespect. And you also don't know what her relationship, her relationship, our conversations have been with either of them beyond what you've seen on the show to this point. So I think there's a lot that we don't know. And there's a world of discourse that is happening that a lot of people aren't seeing. I think like in this situation, listen to black creators, black Bravo, people who have takes who are dissecting this stuff. And then you, your mind might be expanded. Well, you know, or rewatch the episode from two weeks ago where she talked about the feedback that she gets from the black community about why are you allowing these white guys to play you and then watch what's happening now. So I mean, I think you can even just listen to their dialogue and then start to transport yourself into what's happening now and think, oh, well, this is interesting. I hadn't thought about it that way. Yeah. And unless you listen to that stuff, you don't know. And I think I'm not the one to speak on it, but it was, it's kind of like, you know, she, she, I was treated, she I was treated like a something to be one and a trophy and in not respected as much. Right. There's just a different treatment. I agree. I agree. And I did listen to sisters this morning, talking about that as well. But it's just not everybody hates West. Right. Like not everybody. Well, listen, two things can be true. Two things can be true. Yes. Yes. Well, that's also what I was kind of trying to remind people at the beginning of this. I was like, these are real people and it's complicated. It's complicated. It's very complicated. Yeah. I agree. Thank you. Love you guys. Thanks. Gail from Boston. I was going to talk to you about you showing your Starbucks cup into my Starbucks cup. Yeah. It's on both, you know, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my Starbucks. Yeah. Yeah. But I changed my mind listening to people are talking because if you're treated like a man has been treated for years and someone pays a chanting to you, you just fall. Believe me. Yeah. Interesting. It's not right. No one says it's right. But I think, but I think she probably told Sierra way before. Well, this we don't know, but I think your first point is very interesting. People fall in love. That's not the crime here is like, I mean, I'm sure people do fall in love that it happens. It's the what it's how you're you, you handle your behavior around a tough situation that speaks about your character. And regarding to why I drink Starbucks, it's because it is so over caffeinated. He's a corporate shell. No, it is so over. They put so much caffeine in the tea. I can't drink coffee anymore that it gives me the high that I need. I am chasing a high and you just won't do coffee because you know, it's like 50 times. No, I can't drink coffee. Why is that? I seem to be like allergic to the caffeine and coffee. I get very crazy. I get very dizzy. I get very. I believe you. I well, why would I make that up? I would much rather it will be easier to drink coffee. Coffee is cheaper. But the caffeine in tea is not you're not allergic to that. I'm not allergic. You get dizzy. I get the you might get dizzy. I get major verdict. I think you need less caffeine is the point. Okay. Thank you. Jennifer from Texas. Hello, Andy and John. So happy to speak to both of you. So basically listening to everybody's commentary this morning, it felt so aggressive towards you, particularly Andy. And I don't understand why you know, you're being kind of brought into this. You like you said, you're not an executive producer. Sure. You have to wrangle these fools whenever they, you know, have the reunions. But I think that people need to chill the hell out. You know, what they're saying to you. Yes, of course, we love you. But the other thing that I have to say is that first of all, these women that are saying that they stand with West are probably the same women that voted for Trump. So I'm just going to leave that there. But on top of that, I don't know how you can't see the bigger picture in that this has nothing to do with West and Amanda, but everything to do with Sierra and Amanda and their friendship that they've developed over the years. I mean, if I'm her best friend and I'm cringing at the times that she's saying, I'm so proud of her, she's strong. She's going to get through this. And then he's getting through it in the way that I'm sure that Sierra never thought that she was going to get through it. So not okay with any of that. And I don't think that it compares to the Scandiball situation because they had like their own like weird and sesuous situation going on over there where they all flip flop with each other. You don't see that in summer house. They truly all support each other. So I don't think that those are comparable situations. All right. All right. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it.
