Advice.

Hell, no, welcome to the naughty but nice. I'm your house dump shooter, and I'm feeling full of energy today, more energy today than normal. And I know why because our little energizer Bunny is with us. Donny Meacham, Hey, Donny are you there?

Hello, low low level? Hello. Oh, I'm feeling good too. We were actually just talking about it before.

You know. I'm feeling good and a lot.

Of it has to do with I started an anti depressant and I think that we more people should be open about talking about it. I think more people are on them than are willing to admit.

You know, we as.

People, we you know, we we try to be happy, We try to be there, We try to be on all the time. But you know, our brains aren't always why to be excited, aren't always wired to be happy, and sometimes we have negative thoughts.

And we feel down.

And there is nothing wrong with needing a little bit of help, and there's.

Nothing wrong with it. And I'm not gonna lie.

I have noticed a huge difference, and that to me is exciting and worth sharing.

We are happy and grateful that you shared it. Done a your happiness is important to all of us. And also to your bravery. I did not know you were going to bring this up today. This is your story. I think sharing it will help other people too. Okay, let's jump into our silly show. This will make you happy for fifteen or twenty minutes. What time is it, my friends, It is tea Time. Big story. At the top of the show, Jennifer Lopez is relieved. That's the word relieved, after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, saying it has been torture. Jennifer is feeling a sense of relief after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, despite her initial reluctance to end their two year marriage. According to sources, the decision to file has been really emotionally taxing for the singer. However, she knows she has done the right thing. She didn't want to get a divorced, sources are saying, However, she knows in her heart she knows this is the right thing to do. Gosh, life can be so difficult. You don't want to do it, but you know it's the right thing. Forget about big, big pictures like divorces and relationships. I don't want to go to the gym, but I know it's the right thing. I know I shouldn't have that extra vodka soda, but I do want it because it's the right thing. I think we all really know the truth. The hard part is getting to it is admitting it.

Ah, you know, I you're for a Jenifer Lopez so much because.

Let's just let's be real with each other.

J Lo loves this man.

Jay Loo is obsessed with this man. And I don't say that in a bad way.

I say that in a great way of she has for how many years now decades? Ye, she has been in love with this man. And we all know what it's like to be in love with someone, and sadly most of us know what it's like to be in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way, and that is it is a different kind of pain that you can't explain to people. So I think, you know, it sounds almost like a negative story of like Jennifer Wez is.

Relieved after filing.

But truth is is it's actually a positive because for her, she's relieved because she finally I think, accepted the fact that he wasn't.

In it for the long term anymore.

He was done, And so I think that's where this story's come over, A lot of people are going to see it as like, oh, she's ready.

It's like, no, she's happy that she accepted it.

Finally, finally, and it took her a long time to get there. She fought to save this marriage. She loves him even though she knows he's not the right guy for her. It's amazing in life, isn't it. How he can just keep holding on, just hoping and praying things will turn around, and they often don't. In fact, they very rarely do. Do you hold on to things for too long, just praying and hoping, and then ultimately you know. I've done it with friends. I've had some friends who were a bit sharp with me, a little bit salty with me, had have you digs at me for no reason, and I knew that their best interests were not for me, but I wanted to be their friends. Add to that, if your friend or the person and you want to be your friend, is powerful or famous, I'm ashamed to admit I have let people who are famous treat me not very well. We know people, Donnie. We have a mutual friend who loves a reality star, and this reality star does not treat her very well, and we all see it. We've all seen it except her. She doesn't see it.

Yeah, the holding on thing is it's hard because you know, so I am single, Hello, hello, hello out there? You know, if you're also a powerful man and you slide into my dms. Donnie said it on Instagram. But the thing is is I've hold on too long a lot of times when it comes to dating, because it's like you see this person and you're like, it should work, it should be good, like I have a lot of times it sadly it can be a physical attraction to a person, so you're like, yes, like it should work. I want it to work, and so I will continuously reach out and you know, sometimes not reciprocate that type of.

Thing, and then I've held on too long.

Yes, I've held on to friendships too long, but you know, and yes, both our mutual friend too. It's it's hard because you know, we just as humans.

We want to be loved and we want to be.

Able to accept us and we you know, a lot of times it's not a bad thing either, is when it comes to friendships too, It's like I can hold my friendships in a different regard than they can hold me. And that's you know, that's human nature and it's but it's you know, a reality of life.

Yeah, Jennifer Lopez is certainly going through this. I think too. You don't want to tell your story again. It's exhausting. I know people who have been in relationships with guys and girls that are not really working, but.

They're like, gosh, I just I've wasted. I've invested three years in this. I don't want to just start over here twenty years. Jennifer's invested so much in this love story that just to end it is really hard, which is exactly what she has done. N and it brings us to our whole question of the day. Jennifer Lopez has relieved. It's relieved that she has finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. Our question is do you think they could get back together?

Do you think ten could they? It's a naughty one today, Hey, go vote on our Twitter page at Naughty Nice rob. Our facebook page is Naughty Gossip and be sure to check back tomorrow to hear your results. Hey, Donnie, what are you working on?

So let's have it. She dumped a rod to get back with Ben. Let's forget this, Like poor Jaylo, I am team Jlo.

Here, always going to believe team Jayler.

This is actually a devastating news for a lot of reasons, SOMRII carry. She admitted, and she came out, and she revealed that she has facing heartbreaking loss after her mother and her sister passed away on the same day, which is devastating. And I know the hard part is for Mariah is and she's been very open about it in her book, is that she's had a tricky relationship with Patricia and Allison, and so I think for her it's got to be even harder. So obviously we don't know why how they passed away, or we don't know the cause of death yet, and so for me, I think, you know, I'll be open about this too.

Is So, my dad died two years ago, and I never had a close relationship with my dad.

He you know, he left when I was two weeks old, and I rarely saw him, never talked to him. I think I went maybe fifteen years before.

He died before he ever actually without speaking to him.

And the sad part is when he died, I was sadder than I thought, and I think that that was the hard part is, you know, and I cried right when I found out, and I kept thinking about why am I sad about this man who I demanded you, who didn't know me as a child, Like why am I in this part of it was And I think Mariah can feel the same way. Here is that now the sad part is is you will never.

Be able to reconnect. You'll never be able to hear them.

To fix it. Yeah, And the truth is, even if they were around, you probably would never be able to fix it too. But now it's final. Mariah had a very troubled relationship with Alison, her half sister. There was even legal legal implications for this. Alison was threatening lawsuits. They were going back and forth. That stuff was never ever result here. It makes me sad that families, and this happens a lot, particularly to famous families. When your sister, your brother becomes a multi millionaire and you don't do then should they pay for everything? They help you out? And it's just such a complicated relationships. Families can be difficult with the added burden of millions and fame, and so this is definitely a sad story. The same day, the same day, okay, moving along. This story is massive. So Travis Kelcey and his brother Jason have signed a hundred million dollar deal for their podcast, So wondering, I don't even know who they are done, they're paying one hundred million dollars. Who are they? What's Amazon? Why don't they just call it Amazon's Jeff Bezos?

Hello Bezos?

Hello?

Hello?

What would we sell him? The naughty but nisaw? Well, how much do we want twenty twenty dollars in a vodka soda.

Outsettle for if you just want to literally pick up my McDonald's.

It's wild, isn't it. So there is money in podcasting. I can't say that I am seeing any of it. But it is a joy to do it. I'm getting paid in other ways. I love doing this every single day. But these numbers a while. This comes shortly after Serious Extent brought a podcast What's her Name? My Name is Daddy or call me Daddy? They bought that for a hundred million. Are we seeing a massive change in the radio in the podcasting business?

You know? The thing is it's so. Look, we have a great home here in iHeartRadio.

They have been a beautiful place.

They've been very accepting and to be honest, it's not easy being you know, I don't know if you guys know this.

Me and Rob happened to be gay, and there are some gay people on the podcast as.

Well, and it's not easy to find a home for people and to be out there and to be so into champion it and to be behind it. And so thank you I Heart Radio for that. But the problem is is I thought maybe the podcast bubble.

Had bursted a little because I did. Everybody was doing.

A podcast and it's hard because a lot of people don't want to pay for it or hello he and the beauty of it is is though you know, it's also not easy. Everyone thinks they can do a podcast and you go, hey, when am I in front of you say something mm hmm in camp. I will agree here though, that Travis and Jason can, and they can.

They're wildly entertaining. Yeah, they're adorable.

Problem here, though, is Amazon Bezos. If you're listening, which I know you are, Hello, well you're banking that Travis and Taylor are here for the long term. They break up, you know, to Travis turn against him, but.

He keeps the hundred million make the million sign all the deals now my friend, and get the cash up front, because you're right. I like Travis a lot, and he works very hard, but we have to be honest to you. If he wasn't dating Taylor Swift, I wouldn't know his name. It's just not my world. I would never have crossed paths with him. But because of Taylor, he has been exposed to this audience of hundreds of millions. Just that a massive audience. There's probably no biggest star in the world than Taylor Swift. And I'm not saying for one second that is why he's dating her. It's a bonus. I think they do love each other. I hope that it goes all the way. I hope they get married, I really really do. But there's no doubt that she's changed his life. And I do really actually love the brother Jason. I would like my brother to dack Taylor Swift, and then I could grab onto those coattails and ride them all the way. Once again, we're not putting down Travis. He's great, Jason's great. They are wildly entertaining. I've listened to their show, but the only reason I knew they had a show was because of Taylor swift. Okay, quickly, Donnie, before we go to break, we have a sighting. Finally, somebody that we enjoyed very much. A friend of mine is back in the spotlight. Who am I talking about?

How you do it?

Girl, Wendy Williams. Oh, Wendy, you know, I'm not gonna lie. I saw these photos and I was brought a smile to my face. Wendy Williams made a public appearance and apparently she was, you know, at a holistic store in New Jersey, which is a positive because and I'm not saying this out of turn, out of jest, out of anything. Windy had, you know, turned to some pretty dark things, and you know, it was doing a lot of them, and it had begun to affect her life. And I don't know if you saw the show about her, she was drinking, and you know, which is fine.

We have a vox soda. We make jokes about it. We you know, we do it.

But she was drinking every.

Day and every day, yeah, every day. I knew she was in a real crisis, Dunning when she called me one day and you know this story, I don't think I've ever spoken about it publicly before, but she asked me to bring liquor to her apartment, and she asked me to pour it into water bottle. So go and buy a bottle of water, pour the water away, fill it full of vodka, and then sneak it in. And I was like, Wendy, I just can't do that. I can't be an enabler. I'd love to help you get help, but I knew she was in a bad place. But to see her again in the photographs, she looks happy. She looks like the Wendy we love. She's got the wig back on, and she's got the bright cars that clothes, the boots, and I like two she's with her son, who really does care about her. In that documentary, I just couldn't understand why Kevin wasn't the conservator. He really loves his mom. Has there been issues, There has some money, maybe she paid for stuff, but I know Wendy. Wendy would rather have the money go to Kevin, her son, than anybody else. And if it means that she's got to pay for a few uber eats or a few other stuff that Kevin wants, she wouldn't care. She wouldn't she wouldn't care. She loves him. Wendy, it's so good to see you. Even Derby. My dog is barking saying hello too. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Welcome back to the Naughty but Nic Show. I'm Robs shooting with our dear friend Donnie. Meet them. Hey, Donnie, let's get to the polls.

Just lea, we had a story.

Everybody loved this story. A slim down Lizzo has announced a gap year to protect her peace amid harassment allegations. Our question is is this smart thing to do or has taken the year off a mistake. Ninety five percent said it's the smart thing to do. When your mental health needs a moment, take it, And if it needs more than a moment, take it. Donnie, you've been so open on today's show about your struggles. What do you think about Lizo's news.

I think it's beautiful when it comes to, you know, taking care of your mind.

I think that you need to. I'm putting on my you know, entertainment reporter.

I will say though, that it to me, it doesn't make the allegations go away and makes it seem like you're almost running away from them, which I think is Yes, she is, because she wants.

To protect you know, her health and what's going on with her.

Also, you know, I think for us it's you know, we're obviously not lizo, but for us it's hard because if we were to take a year off, our fear is, you know, would we get a job again.

No, that's the very part, right, Yeah, it is, Lisa, You're an inspiration. Hey, don't forget to vote on today's Paul. Go to our Twitter page.

It is not going anywhere, Blake.

You know, it's so hard because I have forever wanted to love Blake, because I love Ryan Reynolds, and I love their relationship that they have together. They seem so happy and so fun. But then all of this stuff keeps coming out about Blake.

But also I.

Think, you know, I'm pretty sure we spoke on it on last week's show together is Once that you know, ball starts rolling down the hill, it doesn't stop. And so now people are finding every little thing that Blake said in the past, and they are ringing it up, and they're making it seem like it's you know, huge, and you know her sister Robin you know, spoke up and was just like, you know, don't don't stop attacking her, which is good. My sister would have been me. One of your sisters would.

Oh yes, maybe not all of them, but one of them would. I nice is the day and I know she is the day. You know, Meryl Streep and Marty Short was spotted holding hands. Now. I broke the news six months ago that the East who were casually seeing one another were casually dating. At the time, their reps denied it.
