Introduction: Minutes 0 to 3:30
We were off last week due to technical issues. We’ll have episodes out for the next two weeks and will be off August 28th. Due to the awards shows in September we may have less episodes next month. You can listen below!
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez: Minutes 3:30 to 9:30
When we were off Ben Affleck rubbed Jennifer Lopez’s butt on a yacht just like on the Jenny From The Block video! Chandra was hoping for that and it happened I can’t believe it. She has more parts of the video she wants replicated. Chandra loves this story and wants other people to enjoy it too.
Ben and Jen have been in Capri and they look like they’re posing for an ad in some of the paparazzi photos. They look totally in love and happy. Jennifer is scheduled to appear at the Met Gala and we hope she brings Ben as her date! Ben has lost weight and he looks like he’s dressing better. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about them. We hope Ben and J.Lo walk red carpets together. Ben looks happier because he doesn’t have any responsibilities like he did with Jennifer Garner.
Royals: Minutes 9:30 to 19:45
Here’s a link to the mailing list signup where you can get the top 8 stories about Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir. We wonder how much dirt Harry will dish. Chandra says some of The Me You Can’t See shocked her, particularly when Harry said there were parallels between his mother’s experience and his. Meghan and Harry have called out the firm and we expect Harry to do that in his book too.
Duchess Meghan just had her 40th birthday on Wednesday and to celebrate she posted a cute video with Melissa McCarthy and posted a letter to the Archewell site encouraging people to devote 40 minutes to service. She emphasized that a lot of women have lost jobs due to the pandemic and encouraged people to look into mentoring. So many people offered their services and used her hashtag #40×40. Princess Eugenie, Adele, Amanda Gorman, Hillary Clinton and others have joined this initiative. We wonder if that’s the office where Meghan works or if she was just filming there. We loved her setup including the little dog bed.
While the Cambridges have been on vacation the press has been going after Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, is a brand ambassador for Casamigos Tequila and he was seen on a yacht in Capri, Italy with other women. It looks like a work thing, but it also was bad optics for Jack. The woman who went topless gave an interview and she’s hilarious. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice’s husband, was seen walking in NY with his ex, Dara Huang. Dara and Edo have a five year-old son together so it could have been perfectly innocent, but some of their other circumstances are shady. They still work together and share an office building. We think the press is going after them because they’re bored, but it also might be The Cambridges and/or Prince Charles giving the go-ahead. Chanrles has been trying to cut out the Yorks and both of his brothers’ families. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about this.
Matt Damon: Minutes 19:45 to 23:30
Matt Damon is promoting the movie Stillwater. In 2015 he whitesplained diversity to Effie Brown on Project Greenlight. Back during the MeToo movement he made some sketchy comments about judging allegations on a case by case basis. And of course he defended playing the lead in a Chinese movie and called the whitewashing controversy clickbait. This time he told a story revealing that he realized just a few months ago that he should not use the anti-gay F word. In the first version he told a joke with the f-slur from his movie Stuck on You (2003) to his daughter. He tried to tell her it was funny but his daughter wrote him a treatise on not using it. In Damon’s apology, he changed his story about telling the joke to his daughter and tried to claim he was educating her about it.
Comments of the week: Minutes 23:30 to end
My comment of the week is from Ninks on the post about Destry Spielberg claiming she didn’t benefit from nepotism.
Kaiser’s comment of the week is from Tiffany on the post about Princess Charlene staying in South Africa until the end of October.
Thanks for listening bitches! Text us or leave us a voicemail at 434-218-3219.

Lol, you are on the nose about Ben and Jennifer Garner–she made him take responsibility like an adult, and he couldn’t stand it. JLo will let him be a sulky boy as long as he stays in shape and kisses her in public.
Yeah I had a laugh about too that he’s his more authentic self with JLo. More authentically fame whorish you mean without having to pretend he’s not Sahara thirsty for attention constantly just like her. He’s such a clown.
I definitely don’t think that’s Meghan’s real office. First off, its too pristine – no papers, no pens etc. Of course it may have been cleaned up for the video, but my guess is that’s their official zoom room, as that’s where we’ve seen most of their zooms from (minus a few from the couch or bench, but those are prerecorded messages usually) so it might double as an office as well, but I don’t think that’s her full time office in the house. I mean I’m not doing the level of work she is and I have a phone next to me, a stapler, pens, two monitors, docking station for laptop, etc.
It’s clear to me its a room that is used on a regular basis, but I bet their home offices are in a different room.
Agreed. That’s a set up in a neutral room that’s got enough space for all the lights and cameras that they need for these sorts of videos, and also doesn’t reveal too much about the interior of their home.
Even if Meghan works on a laptop in that room, it looks specially arranged for the video. If you have a room with this great fireplace, you don’t set up a massive table right in front of it facing away from the fireplace.
This office along with the “zoom room” are the rooms they are comfortable with the world seeing from the camera angles they chose. It is that simple, the other half of the room could have been file cabinets and office equipment or it could be down the hall, but I have a feeling it is just as organized and pristine as the this office.
Clutter causes stress, and these two look stress free even with everything going on in their lives.
I just am happy that they seem to have found where they belong.
I just love that room.
The podcast mentioned the articles about the York’s husbands. With the security maintained over in Montecito, I bet the reporters have to look to the future and come up with more topics, fresh meat. Of course either Charles or Will needs to be okay with this direction, but kudos to the Sussexes for the security and lack of leaks!
Re: Plot against the York Sisters husbands. I think Kaiser is an oracle in these matters but I think this is coming out of KP. This is not Charles MO. He hates Andrew and has had years to throw him under the bus about this but didn’t. William has demonstrated after the Bradby affair that if you appear to be siding Harry, you are his enemy.
