We’re feeling the love here on ChickChat today… maybe it's because it's the holiday season, maybe it's because we are so thankful for our listeners… but it's probably because MM’s sixteen-year-old daughter is taking Zoology and learned some life lessons from an Octopus.
Outside of the octopus discussion (which is worth the listen in itself), we touch on the new baby vampire love coming for Robert and Suki, the possible hot-mess love of Lindsay and Bananas, and of course, the in-your-face love of Travis and Taylor *trigger warning: unpopular opinions expressed*. BUT - to top it all off, we celebrate our love of People Magazines Sexiest Man Alive annual issue and this year's Readers Choice selections! Welcome Back McDreamy!
So, listen in and remember… we LOVE you! Enjoy the latest ChickChat here on TheMESH Podcast Network!

[00:00:00] What you want, when you want it, where you want it, this is the mesh.
[00:00:08] We'll try not to like too much talk over each other, but again we are girls and we are
[00:00:13] girls.
[00:00:14] We really disagree.
[00:00:15] Okay.
[00:00:16] You have to go in.
[00:00:17] Maybe you'll like.
[00:00:18] Well, make it back.
[00:00:19] A little.
[00:00:20] It's like a red dot.
[00:00:21] Two birds from Greece.
[00:00:22] Yeah.
[00:00:23] You know, you just got that black hair.
[00:00:24] Hello, hello. and things which is love, right? So that works. But, you know, we'll get that out of the way. I'm thankful for you. I'm thankful for Moose, who's our producer. I'm thankful for the mesh. I'm thankful for all of our good listeners. And so happy Thanksgiving everybody. And hopefully you aren't listening to this in the closet,
[00:01:43] like hiding from your family while you've got family
[00:01:48] in town or something. So, as if anybody listens and or cares, whatever, I have a 16 year old daughter, right? So, she is currently taking zoology and school. And it's one of her classes. And she came home the other day and told me that they're, they were learning about these,
[00:03:04] you know, about octopus, a male octopus, has like an dance. So they all know the routine. Yes. It's like an octopus boy band. It is. It's what I would like to think. It was probably like the Danson with the Stars Live performance thing I went to see.
[00:05:41] Maybe.
[00:05:43] Their shirts were off for the 90 dance. Okay. Female octopus then matures the eggs, releases the eggs when they are mature enough, it survives and then die. So what's the maturity rate of like, how long does it take these eggs to hatch?
[00:08:22] I don't know.
[00:08:23] So there her body just knows my eggs have hatched. stuff like. It's from your as you're talking about this, I have that Kevin Bacon movie from the 80s in that song A Prince strings. Like, do you remember the same? What is the she's happy to baby? She's having baby. Yeah, there are some called a Prince strings or something where she goes out into the ocean all the time and is doing like video and photography and stuff. And one day he comes home and tells me and they only get to a certain part of it, you know, essentially the, you know, spoiler alert, if anybody's watching the documentary, I'm sorry if I'm gonna spoil it right now for you. Net does not care about spoilers, so I can always tell her about it. I'm gonna go find it.
[00:12:22] Yes, so he goes every day and sees the same octopus
[00:13:25] My daughter, again, Charlotte, is fully invested in this. And so I was hearing about it all the time.
[00:13:29] And I guess today she knew it was going to be the end of the movie, right?
[00:13:34] So I was just going to tell you this morning what the text messages I received were.
[00:13:40] So she has zoology first period of school, okay?
[00:14:40] Okay, okay.
[00:14:44] She was like, this is so sad. Why are we watching this?
[00:14:49] And then it got silent for a while.
[00:14:51] She didn't text for a minute.
[00:14:52] And then she goes, okay, she's not dead though.
[00:14:55] We're good.
[00:14:57] And I said, she's got to eat them.
[00:14:59] She said, oh, she's starting to grow a new arm.
[00:15:05] I said, oh good.
[00:16:02] where she told me about the dance. Then they started watching the movie.
[00:16:04] And as of today, she had texted saying,
[00:16:08] you know, that the, got in a fight with the shark
[00:16:10] and got her arm bitten off and then,
[00:16:13] so it started growing a new arm.
[00:16:15] And then again, it got quiet for a bit.
[00:16:17] I didn't get a text message.
[00:16:20] And then one message came through and said,
[00:16:22] babies were just born.
[00:16:25] Then the next message came in and said, Not octopus like who knew and now you can share with a friend that you are Well versed and all well versed and octopus mating like it's and it's unique and You know, I've always heard of like bugs and stuff that do that like you know that like
[00:17:41] in They're like certain bugs that mate and die or well
[00:17:45] I know like the praying mantis once the male mates with her she bites his head off and kills him
[00:18:41] I'm intrigued. I mean, not going to go down an octopus rabbit hole.
[00:18:44] Like, I'm just looking for things.
[00:18:46] I know.
[00:18:47] I find myself like googling this stuff now.
[00:18:49] Again, like I said, first to make sure she was actually paying attention.
[00:18:53] But second of all, like what?
[00:18:55] There's crazy stuff here.
[00:18:57] I'm trying to octopus mating dance.
[00:19:00] Yeah.
[00:19:01] Oh, yeah.
[00:19:02] I don't know.
[00:19:03] It's bound to be out there somewhere.
[00:19:06] I've never.
[00:19:07] Oh, but it's I mean, I mean, how would stabbing her with it what happens if a female chooses the same male or is there some pherom There's so many layers to occupy life. And we didn't even know it. Hey, you know who got stabbed with a baby recently too? Who? Um, Suki Waterhouse.
[00:23:01] She's pregnant with Robert Pattinson's baby.
[00:23:05] What?
[00:23:07] Yes, they just announced it yesterday. In other weird news, this is my, okay, so yeah, I said we're talking about love. This, I don't know if is love, but it does fall into weird, which was like the octopus story. But this is my random news for the day. Other random news for the day. You know how on
[00:25:25] world or road rules or the challenge. Yeah. Johnny bananas. It's not I was gonna ask you. Because I just don't see
[00:25:31] her dating anybody random from those shows. It's got to be
[00:25:33] somebody who's pretty famous. It's Johnny bananas. And let me
[00:25:38] tell you this. For some reason, I buy it. Like I think
[00:26:43] was in Nashville or so and so's bought a house in Nashville. And I'm like, who's in Nashville?
[00:26:46] Like everybody I look when I'm there and I see no one.
[00:26:51] Yeah.
[00:26:52] You're not hanging out the bluebird long enough, I guess.
[00:26:56] I guess.
[00:26:57] I don't know.
[00:26:58] So that was random.
[00:27:00] And then again, moving on, we're just fast paced because we're going to get to
[00:27:04] our main topic here in just a second.
[00:28:03] quicker than I become annoyed by other couples like this.
[00:28:07] Here's my thing that I'm trying to figure out. Like if you look at the women that Travis Kelsey
[00:28:09] has dated in the past,
[00:28:12] completely different type of women, right?
[00:28:15] Instagram models, they've been this.
[00:28:16] Maybe he's looking for a different type, right?
[00:28:19] But I almost wonder if a joke didn't turn into something
[00:28:25] somebody took seriously, probably me like not a Mahomes fan at all. Right. And I feel like it's getting to be a lot. And I heard on the radio this morning, as I was driving my kids to school, they were doing their Hollywood gossip that they've actually been dating since September. And I'm like, okay, well, okay, that makes sense.
[00:29:41] But I feel like they're into each other and the way he like talks is it something is something something rubs me wrong. I don't know what it is. And I can't pinpoint it but. Tutsis the only one in his family who talks like that.
[00:31:04] Yeah. And I mean, and I'm not saying not in my generation age group to be a Swiftie, if you will. Are some of her songs good? Sure. Can I sing a lot of them? Sure. Do I think, you know, when everybody talks about how Taylor writes these songs about her boyfriend,
[00:32:24] you know, at that time, and like we and she's blazing through a bunch of already? Yeah. Oh, right. And you know, she was in a that was my issue, I think, like she just ended this six or seven year relationship. And a month
[00:35:00] later, she's diving her back into a new one. I'll bet she
[00:35:03] already did Matt Healy in between. That's right. She did. Like, are you evaluating the relationship all along the way? And as you're going to bed at night, you're writing your diary possible lyrics for your next song based off of what happened that day. Or you know what I mean? It's, I mean, she's, she's changing lyrics in her concerts to sing about this guy.
[00:36:20] Yeah. out there, he's just coming off the whole where he became the height of fame where he was playing his brother in the Super Bowl, right? Like, I mean, obviously people knew Travis Kelsey was before that, but like when they kind of came into it big time was the whole mama Kelsey thing and, you know, brother playing each other and they started their
[00:37:45] podcast and they have a lot of football started to know who he was. press, if you will, because they're both, they're both used to it and eating it up. And they're both, they're both on camera or they're both not like they're fine. Yeah, and you nailed it. They both love the limelight. Like they both love the center of attention. I mean, if this is real and it's in this, it's in game for both of them, then happy for them. Hope it works at the last, but this is one of those relationships where I feel
[00:39:04] like it's been shoved on our throats so much, so fast. And those are just the five that I've named like I don't even know there might be more. But just those five. They all almost fit into a very kind of more quiet mode. All of them do. Even the famous guys like a John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhawn stuff. They're not flashy. They're not.
[00:40:21] They're not dancing in an in zone, right?
[00:41:24] like hilarious. Did you see the image of Lance Bass at one of the games?
[00:41:30] He said not to him in the box and he's got a sign that says not Taylor Swift, but he's just sort of waving like, Hey, you know, like,
[00:41:33] there is. Yeah. You know, I mean, you, you know,
[00:41:36] these people feel like that now they're like, Oh, sorry to disappoint you.
[00:41:39] It's just here I am. You just in the box. Cause I like football cheering on my
[00:41:46] team, you know. I love people, magazines, Sexies Made Alive issue every year. Every year, yes. Every year. This year, it was announced that the 2023 Sexies Made Alive is Patrick Dempsey. Yay, a puzzle, puzzle, fun.
[00:43:00] Oh, God.
[00:43:03] Totally fine with this.
[00:43:04] Totally fine with this.
[00:43:05] I am completely fine with it.
[00:43:07] I agree. been on the list many, many times in the magazine for years, but he's never won the cover. And so it's about time. So Bravo to People Magazine for getting it right. They usually do, but this, this one I really do agree with again. You know, people can see who all the, there's a lot of the
[00:44:20] usual suspects in there, but I did want to recap real quick the reader's choice,
[00:45:26] one sexiest blockbuster star, Chris Hemsworth.
[00:45:34] Okay, all right, go with that. That's fine. Also on that list were Keanu Reeves,
[00:45:45] from John Wick 4, Michael B. Jordan, and from Bad Bunny, and Future. Okay. And CBS this morning's Nate Berlison. Do I know Nate? Glasses, Goatee, Big Smile, Handsome, of course. I forgot about that list, but I like that list.
[00:48:20] Mark Consuelos was the winner.
[00:48:22] Oh yeah.
[00:48:24] It's kind of weird putting with a sense like Craig Melvin and Pierce Brosnan. Oh, you got to go with Kurt Russell, right? No. Not according to the readers. I mean, I think I would probably go with... Oh, wait. You said Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell. That's why I meant, yeah. Michael Douglas. Kurt Russell.
[00:49:40] Yes, that's why I meant Kurt Russell.
[00:49:42] No.
[00:49:43] I would go with Kurt Russell.
[00:49:44] Okay.
[00:49:45] But the readers went with Pierce Brosnan, the Narcos Pedro, the last of us Pedro, the Mandalorian Pedro, and the dog dad Pedro. Okay, some of us I haven't seen. So yeah, well, the Mandalorian, he wears a metal suit the whole time. You don't even know it's him. Narcos, you know, that's the one people probably like
[00:51:02] can at least recognize his face from the last of us. That's sad. But then they're going to be on there, but you're going to pick Ryan. Every time. It's Ryan. Ryan is kin. That's it. And sexiest new dad. The choices were Tom Hiddleston, Brooks Kepka, Daniel Radcliffe,
[00:52:21] and Alexander Ludwig.
[00:52:25] And people chose Tom Hiddleston. It's world. Yeah. Um, so, yeah. Mm. They went with Taylor Lautner. Of course they did. If people are voting for Trev, for Travis, they're also going to vote for Taylor. So we knew where that vote was going. Everybody. It's like the, the one good Taylor boyfriend, right?
[00:53:43] Right.
[00:53:44] Um, who's stuck with people named Taylor oddly enough.
[00:53:48] It's worth it. But that is definitely something I'd love. So you see how I tied all that together? The job. We had octopus love. We had new baby love, like Twilight baby love. We had football, flashy, weirdo love.
[00:55:03] And when we had sit back and wait and see who's going to follow and love next. And for everyone listening, we hope you have the best Thanksgiving. If you are not celebrating Thanksgiving to all of those outside of the United States,
[00:56:21] because we know we have some, we just hope you have a great Thursday that day.
