Push presents, extravagant gifts given to women after childbirth, are being discussed due to their growing trend, especially among celebrities like Pookie, who received a $30,000 Hermes Kelly bag as a push present.
Zach Bryan has been accused of being abusive in relationships, with multiple ex-girlfriends alleging he controlled their appearance and behavior. Brianna Chickenfry, one of his exes, has spoken out about the emotional toll of their relationship, while another ex-girlfriend, Sophia LaCour, has been criticized for victim-blaming Brianna.
Both hosts agree they couldn't date actors due to the difficulty of seeing their partners kiss or have intimate scenes with other people on screen. They find it hard to separate personal and professional life in such scenarios.
The hosts suggest leaving the situation alone and not bringing drama to the bride's special day. They recommend reevaluating the friendship afterward to see if it's balanced and supportive. Being a supportive presence at the wedding can strengthen the friendship in the long run.
A Kelly bag has one handle and a shoulder strap, while a Birkin has two handles and no shoulder strap. Both are iconic Hermes bags, but Birkins tend to be more expensive and exclusive.
The hosts believe Coach is making a strong comeback with high-quality products and stylish designs. They attribute this resurgence to the brand's new creative director, who has brought a fresh, modern approach to the brand's offerings.
Both hosts rave about Cozy Earth's sheets, which are temperature-regulated to keep you cool year-round. They also mention the brand's pajamas and cuddle blanket as must-have cozy items for the holiday season.
The listener question is about feeling hurt after not being asked to be a bridesmaid in a best friend's wedding, leading to a realization that they might not be as close as they thought.
The hosts recommend 'The Housemaid' series by Freida McFadden, a thriller about a young woman who becomes a housekeeper for a wealthy family and uncovers dark secrets. It's a fast-paced, page-turning read.
In this week's episode, Alex Bennett and Jordyn Woodruff discuss extravagant push presents and luxury designer bags (Pookie got an $85k purse?!). They also discuss the awful Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry situation, and explore the topic of narcissistic ex-boyfriends. Finally, they touch on the difficult feeling of realizing you're not your best friend's best friend when you're not asked to be a bridesmaid.
