Enjoy.
Ashley Hesseltine (0:14)
Hi, guys.
Rayna Greenberg (0:16)
Hi, guys.
Ashley Hesseltine (0:17)
I'm trying to be very quiet to not disturb the bowl in a china shop in my house.
I have a Rayna Dalt. I have a third foster dog, Gumball from Wags and Walks, LA. You didn't know her name till just now.
Rayna Greenberg (0:34)
I didn't even know it was a girl until two seconds ago.
Ashley Hesseltine (0:38)
I've never had a girl dog in my life, not my family in the home. I can't stop saying like boys and calling her and misgendering her. I'm just not used to it. But yes, she is a female, one-year-old pit bull mix and she is a lot.
Rayna Greenberg (0:54)
I couldn't do it. I'm not strong enough.
Ashley Hesseltine (0:57)
She's so strong. I don't want to disturb.
Rayna Greenberg (1:00)
No, somebody should adopt her, but I'm a little person that can't have a big dog.
Ashley Hesseltine (1:04)
Yes, it's a lot. And she is so sweet. She's well-trained. Like she's the perfect dog for someone that wants a high-energy pit mix. And I'll try to get her on screen at some point, but I'm not going to wake her up right now. She's sleeping on the couch. So we don't disturb her when she is relaxing.
Rayna Greenberg (1:27)
So we are both existing in a state of emergency.
Ashley Hesseltine (1:30)
Yes. Oh, can I just wrap it up? Can I wrap the dog thing up?
Rayna Greenberg (1:33)
That I was talking about the dog.
Ashley Hesseltine (1:37)
Okay, sorry. No, I just want to say that Cody got adopted, my little angel Cody, who you guys saw in multiple episodes. So Cody got adopted by this nice older couple and they're so in love with them. And Zizou, the pug, is still available for adoption as well. So I just want to give an update on my trio of foster dogs that I've had. But yes, low key, the state of California and our household is a bit of a state of emergency. But you have the measles.
Rayna Greenberg (2:04)
We have a new state of emergency. So last week we had a Northeaster flooding state of emergency. This week's state of emergency is a measles outbreak. As we are recording, there is 108 cases. So everything is just bad all the time.
Ashley Hesseltine (2:19)
Yeah, the country is a state of emergency, I would say. Yeah.

And we are going to kick it off with a rumor report, music specific rumor report, but we love a rumor. You know, we love an unverified rumor at the onset.
Rayna Greenberg (3:01)
I love perpetuating maybe true things.
Ashley Hesseltine (3:04)
So we'll go chronologically. The first rumor is that Jay Z could be headlining the Super Bowl. Maybe with Beyonce people are finding little Easter eggs here and there, but the rumor is that they are struggling to book a headliner. So Jay Z and Rock Nation are involved in booking a headliner. I feel like we have known this throughout the years. And the sources claim organizers are facing difficulties locking in a headliner. The game is going to be here in LA at SoFi. And it says, if a solo star cannot be finalized, speculation suggests Jay Z could headline the show himself and bring out an all-star line up of musical friends. I think it's so funny to be like, if I can't find anybody, I'll do it myself. It's very Donald Trump. Remember when he did that shit? What was it? There was like something that no one wanted to perform it, obviously, because it was associated with him. Being the president of this country. He's like, I'll do it myself. That's fair. That's fair. Who would want that job?
Rayna Greenberg (3:59)
Well, they're also saying that like by now there has been a headliner announced, right? This is kind of late in the year that they haven't announced somebody.
Ashley Hesseltine (4:06)
Right. Like when do they usually announce it? I just can't believe it's the end of the year, but people are saying that Justin Bieber and Harry Styles were high in the list, but not confirmed and they don't want to do it. So this is all rumor and speculation, but I would die and I'm already having anxiety about going if that's the case. I'm like, I got to go. I live here and if it's Beyonce and Jay-Z, and we've seen them perform together at The Link actually in Philly during the On The Run 2 tour and it was incredible. But if it was here in LA, like the people he would bring out. I don't know, I hope the Rock Nation can find anybody. I hope Jay-Z is like, fine, I'll fucking do it. It's crazy, you know they don't get paid. I wouldn't do it. They don't? You don't get money?
