(00:49:59)
  • Key Takeaway: Fan voting and social media support for Whitney Leavitt on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is complicated by the delayed filming schedule of her reality show, which prevents cast members from openly discussing current events.
  • Summary: Friendships and opinions among reality show cast members change significantly between filming seasons, creating a public disconnect when viewers base support on outdated on-screen dynamics. Co-stars cannot openly support Whitney Leavitt due to potential spoilers for the unreleased fourth season’s plot lines. Miranda commented on Whitney’s return for financial reasons, stating she couldn’t blame her, reinforcing that reality TV participation is a job for financial growth.

(00:53:50)
  • Key Takeaway: Kevin Jonas has repeatedly turned down ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and the hosts believe married Jonas brothers are unlikely to participate due to the show’s boundary-crossing nature and potential fan reaction.
  • Summary: The hosts believe Kevin Jonas would be an amazing contestant, but his marriage might prevent him from participating in the intimate nature of the show’s partnerships. Jenna Johnson confirmed that for professional dancers, the close connection with a partner is purely technical and part of playing a role. The Jonas Brothers’ current touring schedule makes blocking off the required time for the competition highly improbable.
Timothée Chalamet Rapper Conspiracy

(01:00:12)
  • Key Takeaway: A TikTok conspiracy suggests Timothée Chalamet is secretly the UK rapper SD Kid, supported by similar eye coloring and his known affinity for hip-hop.
  • Summary: Evidence supporting the theory includes Chalamet’s comment on an Instagram post with eyeball emojis and his prior attendance at a Fake Mink show, who frequently collaborates with SD Kid. The difficulty for an established actor to successfully cross over into a music career, especially rap, is noted, citing Donald Glover/Childish Gambino as a rare exception. The timing is complicated by SD Kid having live shows scheduled while Chalamet is promoting ‘Wonka’ (referred to as ‘Marty Supreme’).
Colleen Hoover Movie Embarrassment

(01:07:21)
  • Key Takeaway: Colleen Hoover expressed embarrassment about being linked to the ‘It Ends With Us’ movie due to the public drama and lawsuit overshadowing the book, which was originally inspired by her mother’s experience with abuse.
  • Summary: Hoover stated she now avoids mentioning she wrote the book when asked what she does for a living, feeling the lawsuit has overshadowed the work. The negative attention has reportedly caused her mother, whose story inspired the book, PTSD-like feelings regarding the aftermath. The hosts believe everyone associated with the film adaptation likely wishes it had never been made, especially given the controversy.
