| 0:00.0 | Mish, I feel like some people around me are suddenly rethinking how they want to date in 2026. Same here. There's a real shift towards being more intentional, no more guessing games or wasting time. Which is why Bumble makes so much sense. They've introduced new features that help you be up front about what you're looking for. From setting your dating intentions to getting in-app profile advice, Bumble helps you show up as your most authentic self and meet people who are on |
| 0:21.2 | the same page. If you are ready for more meaningful connections this year, join Bumble and date |
| 0:25.4 | with intention. Thank you so much to Bumble for making this episode of Shameless Possible. |
| 0:29.9 | Well, well, well, hello. Happy Saturday. Saturday. We are in your feed for a very good reason. |
| 0:35.9 | So if you listened to Dumb Stuff Fridays |
| 0:38.5 | yesterday, you will know that Zara and I are both obsessed with Love Story on Disney Plus. |
| 0:45.0 | Yeah, it's the Ryan Murphy show about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and JFK Jr. And it's funny. |
| 0:51.5 | As I was watching this show, obviously my algorithm knew I was watching the show. |
| 0:56.4 | So everything around me is just like this show. |
| 0:59.1 | This show. And I sat there for like a full day being like, what new angle could we pull on this for a shameless episode? |
| 1:05.4 | Because I have so much appetite to talk about them. But the reality is we've done an episode in this in New York. |
| 1:11.5 | This was a whole episode about not just their relationship, but the moment they were |
| 1:16.4 | papped in Battery Park having a big argument, we went to Battery Park. We retraced the steps. |
| 1:23.7 | We recreated the story. And it was one of the biggest pop culture moments of the 1990s. It was |
| 1:30.1 | one of my favorite episodes we did while we were in New York. So we thought, why not re-share it into |
| 1:36.0 | the feed? Everyone's obsessed with this at the moment. Let's all talk about it. Yeah, |
| 1:39.5 | there's simply no new angle. We did this. We did this episode. As Mish said, we're going to reshare it. I had |
| 1:45.2 | such a good time in New York being there, to your point. And what better time as well, |
| 1:50.7 | the Battery Park episode has just dropped of this show. It was episode five. It dropped yesterday. |
| 1:56.9 | If you want to compare the kind of fictionalized version to what actually played out in the media and the actual headlines and the actual story, this is a great compare and contrast. |
| 2:06.8 | Welcome to Year 12 English. Let's jump on in, shall we? |
| 2:31.3 | Yeah. Keep trying to get a bird tweeting for the ambience to prove we're in a park, but this has got to be one of the least relaxing parks ever been to my life. How's this for Serenity? I'm for Serenity. |
