No, it's time for... Repeat sake! Yeah, for Pete's sake! Are you watching SNL? What? It's back? Is it back? Boing Yang! You know Boing Yang, he's on SNL. Boing Yang's the best thing to happen in that show in years. He was just on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, where he played a game of truth or kink. Have you seen that show? I have not. He played it with his podcast co-host Matt Rogers. The premise is simple. If Yang declined to answer one of Andy Cohen's questions, who is the host, Rogers would get zapped by vibrating underwear. Oh, that seems like Boing Yang would like that. Thankfully for Rogers, Yang was forthcoming about a nightmare SNL host. Yang was asked for the worst SNL host behavior he's ever seen. And he said, "This man, this person, this host, made multiple cast members cry on the Wednesday before the table read because he hated the ideas." But he doesn't name who it is, right? He doesn't name names, but I went to your favorite place, Reddit! And I typed it in... People have guesses. Yes, people have guesses and they were all bad guesses, all very poor. So nothing was really revealed. Anything come to mind? I mean, I would think... No, I got nothing. Nothing. People said, "Maybe it's John Mulaney before he went to rehab." But I'm like, "No, he's too nice of a guy." I don't know though. If you're messed up, you can be pretty mean, especially if you're a comedian. You expect such a high level from other comedians and used to work there. So you might feel comfortable enough. I love the guy. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt I am. Do you put on lotions and potions before you go to bed to help your skin? Yeah, of course. I mean, you have to wash your face and then you have to put on face cream. I've never done that ever. My entire life, I've never done that. It's because you're a dude and you're allowed to age. Many people will try nearly anything to reduce the signs of aging from fillers to Botox to age spot reducing creams. Well now folks, they're turning to another remedy to reduce wrinkles. Snails? Jaw tape and forehead tape. No, I'm done. I'm out. These adhesive patches are very popular and available online. I kind of want them because I do want my eyebrows to be a little higher. You're falling. Dr. Stephanie Florens Pollock, a dermatologist at a Houston hospital, said anti-wrinkle tape is appealing partly because it's non-invasive, right? They don't have to cut anything open. Yeah, who wants pain? Tape sounds pretty painless. In terms of what I have seen on social media and from some of the more prominent companies, the face taping ritual involves putting a very tight piece of tape on your forehead typically and leaving it on for at least three hours, she said, adding that some brands recommend putting it on before you go to bed. But then when you take it off, doesn't your face just return to where it was? Like, at what? She says I take issue with some of those statements of reducing wrinkles because they are not evidence-based. Many of the brands also claim face tape use will refrain your facial muscles not to move as much. As you get older, wrinkles typically appear where muscles move repeatedly. Hello, your eyebrows in your forehead, right? But you can't just retrain your muscles, she says. This is making me angry because you know the people you like to hang out with the most are the ones with the big crows lines around their eyes because you're like, that person is smiled. That person is laughed. Yes. I like that. That's me. Yeah, you don't have crows lines. I mean, I have lines on my forehead. Crows beats. Where are those? On the side of the eyes? Yeah, that's the side. I have, you know, Mediterranean skin. So I sweat olive oil. So that helps. Let's give all the hummus you eat. So the face tape is a waste of money. Is the bottom line here? I think they say most things are just like, you know, wear sunscreen, drink water, you'll be okay. Yeah. Truth be told, Lisa and I met at an office and she said, "Hey, do you want to walk and get coffee?" And I said, "Yes." And we became fast friends, didn't we? Yeah, that's the truth. We all love our coffee a certain way, right? Yeah, I know how you like your coffee. Ice, non-fat milk, sugar-free vanilla. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll only drink an iced coffee. That's it, which sugar-free vanilla. But it has to be sugar-free, skinny. It has to be skim milk. From? Not fake milk. From Starbucks. From Starbucks. Guess what? Starbucks changed their recipe. Oh, no. The coffee chain has made a big change to the iced coffee updating the recipe for the first time in 18 years. But iced coffee is just coffee that's brewed and then put on ice. That's not a recipe. Today, he changed it the previous iced coffee blend was launched in 2006 and the new recipe was updated this summer. Starbucks iced coffee is now made with a blend of sun-dried and washed Latin American coffee beans that will deliver a cup of coffee that's approachable and refreshing with malted milk chocolate and a brown sugar sweetness. Okay. Well, you lost me right there. I don't want any of that stuff. I don't like it. They're not saying they're sugar in there. They're saying they're eating themselves have that smoothness at the end. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Guess what? It might be a subtle change, but Starbucks lovers have noticed. Is it just me or is the iced coffee just not good anymore? One person asked on Reddit. Hello. Maybe they should have called Coke first, right? Oh, M to the G. Oh, M to the G. And that doesn't for us folks. Remember, if you missed anything on the show, just search Pete McMurray show. Wherever you find your favorite podcast, please subscribe. You guys have a great day.
