Kristen Bell Loves Watching Dax Flirt, plus the Skims Calendar Flop

0:00James Maas Number... What number am I up to? Good Monday morning to you. It's November 9, and I'm your host, James Mars. Here's the skinny.

0:12James Maas Kristen Bell reveals that Dax Shepard, her husband, flirts with her, but not in the way that you would think. This was a really cute story to come across over the weekend. Okay? So, basically, they've been together for a while, and she's from, like, forgetting Sarah Marshall and all those shows. She revealed that he still does flirt with her, but in an unconventional way.

0:32James Maas So she's saying that he does compliment, like, the waitress or, like, flirts with other people in a way that makes them feel good. Not flirts, I would say, but, like, you know, compliments people that are around him, the waitress, the server, whatever, and, like, gives them a little bit of a happy. And then when she sees that, she gets turned on. So I just thought that was so cute. You know, there was a study a while ago that I had seen.

0:57James Maas It asked all of these couples that had been together for a really long time, when do you find your partner most attractive after all of this time? And so, basically, most of them responded with, when I see my partner talking to someone else. Because then they can see them in a social situation where they're they're reminded of that feeling they got when they first got with their partner and what attracted them to them. Good for you, Dax and Kristen. May they be together forever.

1:20James Maas The skims advent calendar is getting some heat online at the moment. Not in a good way, though. Everyone is so mad. This $148 advent calendar. So, like, you peel it back on certain days, you know, counting down, and it reveals a gift.

1:34James Maas Apparently, it was all trash. And so I had seen online that there was a couple of moments where, like, people were pulling back their couches and being like, oh, there was this one fun meme. I really loved it. Okay. So it was like someone going, mom, where's my...

1:46James Maas I want my skims advent calendar. And she's like, we have one at home already, and pulled back couch cushions to reveal, like, a scrunchie. It was like a comb. Literally, these are the gifts that are inside this skims advent calendar. And for a $148, you think you're gonna get a little bit more than a hair tie and a comb?

2:01Guest Oh, number eight, we have free bobby pins. Number nine, we have a comb key ring.

2:07James Maas If you're a skims fan, you're gonna be happy that skims is written on your little hair scrunchie and shit. I mean, I'd say just eat it. If you're gonna go spend a $148 on an advent calendar, just be happy with it. It's skims. Lindsay Lohan's baby bump pics sparks backlash, and she's getting a lot of shit about this.

2:24James Maas Okay? So she posted a photo where she's looking really good. It was five months after she gave birth, and basically, started saying it was tone deaf and that, of course, if you have a trainer and you can go to a private gym and blah blah blah blah blah. Damn it. Like, it's so hard to be Lindsay Lohan.

2:39James Maas No wonder we put her through shit all of those years. We should never be mean to Lindsay Lohan. She literally just posted a photo being proud of herself. I mean, that's why you do it on social media like we all do, and then everyone's poking holes in their stories. I mean, there's rich people out there posting shit all day every day, and you don't give them as much shit.

2:55James Maas I just thought it was really unnecessary. Lindsay is having her low renaissance, which I really love, and let's not take her down just to build her up. That is such a shitty thing to do. Like, tear him down, build him up, tear him down, give her a break for at least a little bit longer, or until she starts doing the bag again. Meredith Marks on tour.

3:13James Maas She's having her DJ tour, and this is such a fun one because I got to meet her the other night. We had the best time. Oh my god. I fucking love her. Like, way better than she is on TV.

3:22James Maas Like, way better. Such a cool chick. So easy to get along with. Instant friends. Loved it.

3:28James Maas She is out promoting her new tour, and she just gave everything. Like, honestly, it was such high vibes. Neta did a great job. It was programmed perfectly. We stopped at Katana.

3:38James Maas Then at the Abbey was the final stop, and it was so much fun. I'm gonna show you this video of us dancing. Oh my god. She can dance. She can have a good time.

3:46James Maas She can work the crowd. Honestly, go and see her. I think she's playing at the... I'm gonna put it in the caption, but go and see her this Friday night. If you don't have tickets yet, go to her Instagram and have a look because she's actually the best time ever.

3:59James Maas I loved her even more in person. And, I mean, yeah, it's so fun. We exchanged numbers, and now we're besties. Love you, Meredith. Tamara Judge is putting her 2¢ worth in Result Lake City cast.

4:10James Maas Alright. So, basically, she said, it's become a little performative with the song, the lip liner constantly putting on. She did it again this episode. This one, she made sure you could see it, and it was MAC, so that's how she got the MAC lip liner commercial and the Wendy's commercial. Yeah.

4:25James Maas Duh, Tamara. They're doing it. One, I don't think that it's very performative. I think that the show is one of the... I mean, if you look...

4:32James Maas If you're comparing the two, OC is way more performative. Salt Lake City actually has drama, and it's very interesting. But, also, I really love that they're leaning into that. And listen. If they didn't have brands that people wanted to buy in with, Wendy's wouldn't give a shit or Mac wouldn't give a shit.

4:46James Maas But I think it's great. It's great strategy. I'm... I don't even care if it's set up before time. It hits the Internet.

4:52James Maas We're all excited about it. Then it comes out that she gets the campaign. I mean, this is great. And it's product she already loves. I mean, she's on there using it.

4:59James Maas That's exactly how it works. You know? But guess what? I'm not here for it. I'm not here for it, Tamara.

5:05James Maas Stop being jealous. Don't give those jealous vibes. I love everything about Salt Lake, especially because Merit's my new bestie. Golden Bachelorette Joan Vasos and Chuck Chappell call off their engagement. Okay.

5:17James Maas So they called off their engagement after two years in a joint statement blamed distance, East Coast versus the Midwest, separate homes, clashing calendars, wedding date keep drifting. Talk about a New York place, but they never moved in together. Okay. So, yeah, long distance doesn't work, honeys, even when you're old. Actually, especially when you're old.

5:37James Maas Although, I feel like it could work if you were older because you wanna see each other and you want separate bathrooms. You know, by that stage, you've got your life figured out and how you like it. But, you know, they were a really cute couple. I liked them a lot, and I'm sad for that. But, honestly, when you're older, like, I'm even feeling it now.

5:51James Maas I'm old before my time. I'm like, get the fuck out of my house. Like, I don't wanna be in... Who is it that said that I don't wanna... Oh, it's Whoopi Goldberg.

5:59James Maas She's like, I don't wanna give a man a chance to be breathing near me or in my room, and I want my own bed to myself. I mean, you just get selfish when you're older. You don't need anyone to complete you. You know? They're there to compliment you, not supplement you.

6:11James Maas So if someone can't compliment you, get them the fuck out. Maya Jama, never heard of you, but all good. Okay. So she exited after nine seasons. She also said all good things come to an end.

6:22James Maas Thanks to the fans who rooted so hard for her to host. She also hosted After Sun, Love Island games, and All Stars. I mean, I think they did a little... Allegedly did a little behind the scenes deal with her and said, listen. We wanna retire you.

6:35James Maas Here's your pay packet. You gotta get out of here. We can tell everyone that you decided to step down and that we didn't wanna get someone else. You know, it's usually the younger, hotter kind of blah blah blah blah. It's a shame, but it happens to the best of us, honey.

6:47James Maas And I wish you well, my ajama. Get out of there and go do some fun stuff. Maybe do some really fun stuff like, you know, get a new younger hot boyfriend and, like, create some controversy out there. That always seems to work. Donald Trump says he was kidding about Dana White press secretary offer, but admits the UFC boss likes the idea.

7:03James Maas Let's not. Let's not. Okay? We... We're burnt from the last lady.

7:07James Maas Everyone is laughing at us. Can we stop? Well, can we at least be a little bit embarrassing and not so on the nose, like, this is, like, an actual Saturday Night Live parody? I mean, it's great for Saturday Night Live because they have so much to talk about and they don't even need to write a new script for it. They just literally repeat what's going on out there.

7:23James Maas But, like, really, can we get someone that hasn't got their degree in a cereal box or a competition or won some sort of fucking green card lottery? Literally. Come on. That's all I have to say about that, honestly. I mean, just get someone that can speak.

7:36James Maas Why do you wanna be embarrassed every day? Is that that much news that you need to cover up? Alanis Morissette reveals she's pansexual after being hurt by men and sex addiction. Aren't we all, honey? Every day.

7:48James Maas Mhmm. Mhmm. So she comes out as pansexual on the Handsome podcast. Says she's been hurt by men in past relationships, married to rapper Solei since 2010. They have three kids together, so she's still married to him.

8:00James Maas Does that mean they're relationship? This did come alongside her new holiday album, which means maybe she's just digging for some press. But I love Alanis. Remember how cool her songs were? Like, honestly, you didn't appreciate it enough until you grew up a bit, but the lyricist in her, oh, she is amazing.

8:18James Maas Do know what? She should go and be pansexual more and come back and write some songs about it for us. But do you think that can happen? Can people actually turn you off being attracted to men or at least opening it up? Maybe you could.

8:30James Maas Women are so evolved. Erica Kirk slams David Chappelle for jokes about her husband. She called it beyond disgusting. Yeah. I'd have to agree with her.

8:39James Maas I get where it's coming from. I love Joan Rivers so much, and she always used to be a big advocate for, like, we have to look at the things that make us sad and make fun of them. No one wants anyone to die. No one wants a father to die. And, I mean, it's a joke.

8:51James Maas He's a comedian. Do you know what? If it was some random on the street, yeah, but this is a joke. And plus, Erica Kirk, you are a joke. I'm loving, loving, loving the reaction to this show.

9:01James Maas I'm having so much fun doing it every morning. And I even throw some stories in that I like compared to some of the shitty ones out there. I'm like, what the fuck is this? Who are these people? So let me know if there's anyone that you want me to be covering, and make sure you like and subscribe.

9:14James Maas And go and give me some love. I literally read every single comment, so don't think I'm missing any of it. And when someone is responding as the daily skinny or me, it's always me. And I love you all. Have a good day, guys.

9:25James Maas See you tomorrow.
