- Zia, Julie Breen, and Chris Hardly sit around the TV. Julie looks a little stunned. Zia: "Welcome to Talking Two, the Day Two aftersh — "
- Julie (explodes): "EEEEEEE!" "CHLOE HAS A BOYFRIEND!" "CHLOE HAS A BOYFRIEND!" "EEEEEEE!" *Subtitle: "Julie Breen: 'Thursday Night Murders'"
- Chris: "Now, now, they're just dating." Zia (irritably): "Anyway, as I was saying — " Subtitles: "Chris Hardly: 'Pod Nerds with Chris Hardly'" and "Zia Mendez: 'Day Two' and 'Sharknado vs. Polar Bear Vortex'"
- Julie (excited): "Did you see him?" "No way they're just dating!" "Tall dark and handsome, and no way that literal stallion isn't great in bed!" "Million percent jealous!" "You go girl!"
- Zia (frowning): "Seriously, I don't want to think about what either of them were doing that night." Julie (leans forward excitedly): "My girl rocked his world is what they were doing!"
- Chris: "Let's talk about Sophia's new form." "I wonder what she — " Julie (jumps up): "She's literally a side character!" "The important part is Chloe's hot new dreamboat!"
- Chris: "But their relationship is still pretty rough. They're not — " Julie (grins darkly at him): "Oh, you know she totally humped him right after the movie."
- Zia (facepalming): "Ugh, cut to commercial already." Julie (dancing in the middle of the set): "Go Chloe!" "Go Chloe!" "It's your birthday!" "Go Chloe!"

What the — ? I swear again, who authorized an aftershow? This was not in the publishing contract!
...😣 Whatever. I guess this is a thing now. But can we at least get better guests than Ms. Breen?
