Chapter 1: What is the TikTok ban about?
Helix Sleep is the perfect place to get a perfect mattress, guys. We've raved all about the Helix mattresses.
We don't ever shut up about it.
We don't, because we love it.
And we won't.
We are dedicated.
Our goal in life is to have every person in the world sleeping on a Helix mattress.
Because if we do, world peace.
Because we care about people.
We do, yeah.

Chapter 2: How did Molly O'Connell get involved in Southern Charm?
I'm driving, I'm driving, I'm driving, I'm driving, I'm driving, I'm driving. There's Nick. I have to make a U-turn to get to him. U-turn, gas can, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall
So her car is fuming with gas. I have to pull. I have to.
In this weather? You have to take River out? This was like three weeks ago. Yeah, this is a while.
Yeah, this was like three weeks ago. I have to take River out of Nally's car because it's full of gas and put her in my car and fill it up with gas. Take River home.
If there's anything wrong with me ever in life, it's because I had to breathe in all of those gas fumes. See, you're high as shit right now.
I will say, though, I couldn't move my car, and a very kind homeless man was like, let me help you, and he helped me push my car off to the side. I never have cash on me, but for some reason, I had $200 bills that were just, like, put in a hole in my wallet, and I gave him a $100 bill.
That's so nice.
Well, you know, it's the least I could do. That's nice of him to be honest.
It was the least I could do. He clearly was stronger than Nick to get to the side.

Chapter 3: What are the latest updates on Diddy?
As long as she had his consent. Obviously, yes, of course. Also, Emily D. Baker joins us, our legal, unofficial legal correspondent for TikTok. Is it going to be here next week? I don't know.
I hope it's not. I don't know.
Honestly, mixed feelings. But Emily is going to join us later this episode to give us a 411 on all the legal aspects of the TikTok ban. Will it survive? Will someone buy it? A lot of burning questions. But before it is canceled, according to TikTok and Bustle, TikTok's latest movement is full Bush positivity.
This is an incredible article.
What does it say in there?
Okay, so basically, amid murmurs of an upcoming TikTok ban, users have taken the unique opportunity to do and say the things they've previously left undone and unsaid.
Is TikTok's final words?
TikTok's final words is to quote, full bush in a bikini. It was this girl on TikTok. It all started with a still unfound Etsy review. where the customer in question posted her thoughts on a bikini with a personal photo in tow.
Although the image is widely unseen, one TikToker, who has posted about the beauty of body hair before, came across the review, and she just said in her video, repeating it over and over, full bush in a bikini. Full bush in a bikini. She was radicalized by that Etsy review, for real. Like, yeah, that's how it should be. But now that video has 14 million views, and...

Chapter 4: What happened with the Brad Pitt catfish incident?
Chapter 5: How does Emily D. Baker explain the TikTok legal situation?
Oh, yeah, you narrow. He's a narrow.
I don't put razors down there. That's crazy.
But I typically.
It's like your thinnest skin on your body. You're just. The timing has to time. You have to watch it. Yeah.
This article also references the Real Housewives of New York City. I guess in the most recent episode, Jenna Lyons shared a photo of her own straight haired bush with her castmates. Straight haired bush. Jenna Lyons, I guess, has a straight haired bush.
Yeah. That's not normal.
I don't know. Pupes typically have texture.
Low curlicue.
Can't relate to that.

Chapter 6: What are the highlights from the latest RHOBH episode?
Now I think she's getting a full massage here.
I'm like oh great okay so she's setting up in the playroom you know away from the dogs Nick's got River Nick's like why don't you go first I'm like cool I'll go first so I wear my little boy short panties like I always do for a massage put the robe on and I walk in there and she's like hey I'm like hey she's like so do you want to start with like stretching or lymphatic or stretching and lymphatic or and I was like waiting for her to say regular massage and I was like
Uh, I guess stretching and lymphatic. She's like, okay. So it was like waiting for me to get on the table. Usually like, you know, they leave the room, let you get under the blanket, whatever. So I was like, what do you want me to wear for this? Because I'm wearing like just underwear. And she was like, oh, underwear is fine. And I was like, and my boobs are good to be out.
And she's like, I've seen boobs, but if you're more comfortable, you can. And I was like, okay. So she's like, lay on top. And I'm like, on top of the blanket. Okay, so I drop my robe in front of her and I get on the table. She's like, so we'll start with some stretching. And I'm like, okay. And she grabs my leg and she pulls it to the side.
And I'm like, oh, fuck.
oh fuck so you're topless i'm oh boobs are just out incredible thankfully she was like oh here i can grab i can put this towel over you i know this is your house and like your husband but like if you want and i was like yeah that would be great so she does cover my boobs eventually leg is open and then leg goes up and then other leg goes out and i she's like you need to relax try to relax and i'm like my bush is in your face i can't relax like i
I would have worn workout shorts if I knew we were stretching like we were in a gym. I thought this was a massage the whole time. There's like not one second of silence. And I think it's because we were both so uncomfortable.
They were chatting it up like crazy. I had to take River on a walk. They were chatting so much.
Thank you.

Chapter 7: What insights does Molly share about her reality TV experience?
What were they left to do? And then it just seems so gross that everything that Justin's being accused of, they're just trying to spin it around and flip it and then trying to court a public opinion. It just seems like the only people who want to believe Justin are the people who went to school with a girl that reminded them of Blake Lively. That's just my opinion. Again, my opinion.
You guys are welcome to be wrong. But again, my opinion is strongly based on the fact that I met Justin and I just really got a bad vibe. Whether he allegedly mocked him or not, who knows, but I know I would if I were in his shoes. I'm all for people standing up for their wives, their partners, their friends, their family, their people, their coworkers, having each other's back.
We don't have that enough. I feel like the past few years, it's all about take care of yourself, worry about yourself, and not speak up. No one wants to have their people's back. And so back to Heidi and Spencer, I love the way they're supporting each other I love their way they're being a family. And I think it's very inspiring. And I want to see more of it.
I love the way a bunch of celebrities have been posting it. Like Diplo has been posting, supporting Heidi and Spencer. I mean, the list is long in terms of- Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton. Tiger Cats of the Hills is supporting it.
Nick Viall and his kale salad.
Yeah, there you go. We were making kale salad. I don't know. I love it. I'm happy for them, and I'm just ready for Justin and his lawyer to hopefully go away. Does this not seem petty that they're doing this? Once again, read the complaints. Read them in full detail and have an open mind. Sydney Sweeney, what an interesting marketer to her movies.
She's committed. I will give her that. She is committed. I don't know. I mean, she stepped out with Brandon Sklenar, who was in It Ends With Us.
Also supported Blake Lively.
And is now in Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. They're filming that or just finished filming it or whatever. I don't know who he is in it, but he's in it. Sidney Sweeney is in it. And they have been photographed together. Now they're just walking. They're just going somewhere. It's definitely not as juicy as the Glenn Powell of it all.
