Hey guys, this is Mel. 
If you're listening to this, you

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,560
are about to hear a super 
special sneak peek of our latest

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,600
bonus episode. 
But fair warning, this is just a

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,400
sneak peek. 
Don't hurt us.

00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:15,320

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:33,480
Hope you enjoy. 
OK, But so we're going to go 

9
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:38,040
through the different breakups, 
new couples, marriages, 

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,160
engagements, babies from this 
past year from pop culture. 

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,480
But we thought it would make the
best sense to start with 

12
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,200
breakups so we can get the, you 
know, Downers out of the way 

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,960
first, unless you didn't like 
these couples and you're happy 

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,720
that they broke. 
Up true. 

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaking of one of our couples, 
one of the biggest breakups of 

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,040
the year was Ben Affleck and 
Jennifer Lopez, which we covered

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,680
and two parts. 
And we did cover their breakup 

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,680
around the time that that was 
announced. 

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,400
And when we last left these two,
they were confirmed to be 

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,400
getting divorced, but then still
met up for lunch with their 

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,720
families and people were like, 
oh, maybe they are getting back 

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,800
together. 
Doesn't seem like it. 

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,920
Not much has changed. 
A source tells Us Weekly that 

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,640
there's still a lot of love 
between them, but the divorce is

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,960
still going forward. 
And the source also adds they 

26
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,040
have lingering doubts and 
hesitation about the decision. 

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440
And when they're together as a 
family and see the kids 

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,360
together, it reminds them of how
good they are as a team and 

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,640
what's important. 
However, in October, a source 

30
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,720
told People magazine that Ben 
Quote never looked back as soon 

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,640
as he moved out of his house 
with Jlo. 

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,680
And actually he's been like 
seemingly more friendly with his

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,720
ex Jennifer partner, who we also
covered. 

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,880
They spent Thanksgiving together
at like a food bank volunteering

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680
together. 
So it seems like he's maybe 

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,680
leaning on her. 
I don't think they're together, 

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,760
but. 
No Imagine. 

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
I know. 
But maybe now he feels more 

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,039
comfortable. 
Hanging out. 

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,040
With the mother of his children,
now that he's single again, I 

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,960
don't know. 
I mean, I know that like his 

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,200
kids with Jlo were close, both 
their kids were close with each 

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840
other, but all this stuff about 
like, oh, as a family, as a 

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,800
family. 
Like they weren't really married

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,720
that long for them to have to 
like Co parent. 

46
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840
Their kids are older. 
So yeah. 

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,560
I, I feel like they will drag 
out this divorce either for a 

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,280
really long time and it'll just 
be kind of something that's like

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,720
up in the air and that'll be 
separated for a while, or 

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
they'll be divorced and then 
maybe they'll get back together 

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,600
like five years from now. 
I hope not I. 

52
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,520
I could see that happening. 
I could see this. 

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,080
I could. 
Not handle that. 

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,760
I could see that happening. 
And I I hope if that happens 

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,160
that no one eats that up. 
I'll be eating it. 

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,320
I just, it's not like I eat it 
up is in like I love them 

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,720
together, but just it's a funny 
kind of thing, you know? 

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,960
Yeah, I guess if you feel like 
it's a safety couple for you or 

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,120
like, you know, something you 
can rely on them being together,

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,760
that makes sense. 
But I. 

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Was going to say, I guess it's 
kind of, it's kind of 

62
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,000
hypocritical of me, I guess that
I want Stevie Nicks and Lindsay 

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Buckingham to get back. 
Together. 

64
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,520
But that I don't support. 
This. 

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,040
I guess I don't know, I just 
like their story better where I 

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,760
just resonates with me. 
But I think it would just be 

67
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,040
funny if just for all the rest 
of time, Ben Affleck and 

68
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,520
Jennifer Lopez just continue to 
get divorced and remarried. 

69
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,640
That would be. 
Funny. 

70
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,600
OK. 
Another big couple, which a lot 

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,960
of you said that you were 
interested in from 2024 when we 

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,320
asked on Patreon, is Sabrina 
Carpenter and Barry Keegan. 

73
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,520
Is it Keegan or Keogan? 
I don't. 

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,000
Know. 
OK, Barry Keoghan. 

75
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,520
I don't know him. 
What show is he from again? 

76
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,120
He's in. 
Oh my God. 

77
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,920
OK, I'm in. 
Banshees of Inishiran. 

78
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,520
He's Banshees of Inishe Batman, 
American animals killing of a 

79
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,360
sacred deer. 
He. 

80
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,600
Was in Saltburn as. 
Well Saltburn so much. 

81
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,680
Me and my friend MK are like 
obsessed with him and we're both

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,680
so disappointed with him at the 
same time. 

83
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,200
Like we're both like, Oh my God,
we're. 

84
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,160
Why are you disappointed? 
Cause OK, we both also love 

85
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,000
Sabrina Carver. 
This is kind of like, what's 

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,800
that thing when people are like,
oh, you have a weird 

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680
relationship with online people?
Yeah, a parasocial relationship.

88
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,520
We have a parasocial 
relationship with Barry Kiogan 

89
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,400
or whatever. 
You. 

90
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Should know how to pronounce his
name if. 

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,760
You're. 
So obsessed. 

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,960
With him. 
Look it up on YouTube. 

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,560
OK, whatever. 
Oh, the Green Knight. 

94
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,520
The Green Knight. 
We also love him. 

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,720
The Green Knight. 
I don't know if I mentioned 

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,640
that, but. 
I loved him in. 

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,240
Banshees, yeah, but. 
He's so funny. 

98
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:17,720
It's just disappointing because 
we we wanted better of him if 

99
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,040
potentially he did cheat on 
Sabrina Carpenter, which we 

100
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,440
don't believe he should be 
getting hate or anything like 

101
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,960
that. 
Like he did Release a statement 

102
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,080
about the fact that he was 
getting hate and that his 

103
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,280
grandma was getting hate and 
that oh what? 

104
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:31,080
Did he? 
Cheat. 

105
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,040
Where did people get this 
information from? 

106
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,680
Well, there was rumors circling 
that he was cheating, and then 

107
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,600
the person that he supposedly 
cheated with posted that like, 

108
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,960
yeah, I'm the one he cheated 
with flaunting it. 

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,960
That's weird. 
Yeah. 

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,040
Yeah, it's like a tick tocker, 
like an influencer. 

111
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,200
Should we believe? 
That well, she was. 

112
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,840
Like just someone looking for 
attention. 

113
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,120
Well, she was like saying like, 
yeah, it was me. 

114
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,160
And then later she backtracked 
her like, it wasn't me. 

115
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,960
But then why did he say it was 
you? 

116
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,720
So it was weird. 
But then like in his statement, 

117
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,720
he didn't say that he didn't 
cheat. 

118
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,240
So it's all weird. 
I don't know. 

119
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,600
Kelly. 
I'm sorry I'm overtaking this 

120
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,920
thing, but I feel very 
fortunately about it. 

121
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,760
I'm I'm. 
Laughing because in the 

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,480
background I heard what sounded 
what sounded like Kelly looking 

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960
at how to pronounce. 
His name? 

124
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,920
Yeah, I found. 
I looked at the. 

125
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Pronunciation I could. 
Hear. 

126
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:28,520
That. 
As he. 

127
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,400
Was. 
Talking, it's. 

128
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Apparently it's. 
Kogan. 

129
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,040
Kogan. 
Is that the Irish way of saying 

130
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,560
it? 
I. 

131
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Don't know, I did. 
Do I mean, that's just what 

132
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,600
Google said. 
Like it? 

133
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,280
Could be Yogan pronunciation. 
It sounds like there's cute. 

134
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,360
Like Yohan, Caitlin, Catlins 
going on And then I just hear 

135
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,880
very well. 
So a lot of those are cheating 

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440
rumors. 
Apparently these cheating rumors

137
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,760
stemmed from Dumois where they 
posted a blind item that said on

138
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,760
the closing night of her biggest
tour to date in LA, he was busy 

139
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,800
getting very cozy at Saint 
Vincenti Bungalows with a blonde

140
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,040
semi famous LA based influencer 
who's particularly big on 

141
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,920
TikTok. 
That's lame. 

142
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,800
I know Caitlin, correct me if 
I'm wrong. 

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,880
Wasn't a relationship kind of 
controversial from the start 

144
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,480
because he had like a not a 
newborn but like a one year old?

145
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,200
And I feel like it's kind of 
frowned upon. 

146
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,160
For because he. 
All right, I will have to stop 

147
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,800
the episode right there.
