I have like my fanny pack. I'm doing errands today. This is like an errands look. You look great.
Thank you. Claudia said I look so cool and I obviously love your outfit. You look so cool.
Like I would wear that in a heartbeat. We also looked fabulous last night. Let's recap our
evening. We were just kind of out and about in New York City. So the reason why you came to New York
was obviously to see your beloved sister and make sure that Harry got time with Auntie Koja. But
you were really here because we did an event for Amazon last night that was
actually fabulous.
Yeah that was the reason for the season and then I plan a little trip
around it. Did the same thing last year was the Amazon holiday soiree. They
brought all Steens on deck.
I don't think we've ever done like a full working event together.
Not in a while. Not in a while.
Not in a while.
And,
And not anything like,
That we're proud of.
Legitimate.
Yeah.
It was fabulous
and actually on the way over here,
Ben was like,
by the way,
who was at the party?
Like anyone cool?
I'm like,
oh my God,
I totally forgot to tell you.
We met Sarah Jessica Parker
and he was like,
really?
How was she?
And he was like kind of skeptical,
you know?
And what came out of my mouth,
he was beyond shocked by
because we all, like Sarah Jessica Parker, I believe I believe her shoes SJP like sell on Amazon she's
like a partner of Amazon fashion so she was there meeting a few people and they were like do you
want to meet her and we're like sure and I wasn't really expecting much like I'm I'm obviously sex
in the city fan I'm not like an SJP like enormous fan I obviously like admire her and she's you know
amazing when I tell you we all individually
like did a little mean greet with her and then we sat down on a couch and we were all just like
kind of giddy like she was really kind of incredible she was so nice and warm and like
the two seconds of like hi how are you thanks for coming like yeah so genuine and lovely like when
she asked how are you like I think she actually wanted to know the answer yeah she meant it we
were all so struck by her kindness.
Ben was like, what do you mean?
I'm like, she was like warm and welcoming.
And I actually like love her now.
Yeah.
She was, she didn't have to be that nice.
Like she was so nice.
And so you're right.
Genuine is the perfect word for it.
It just like came off as genuine.
Like the things that she said, which were like, hi, how are you?
Welcome.
Thank you for coming.
Whatever it was.
It wasn't crazy.
Anyone can say those things, but just the way that she said them with she meant them I
know she meant them and she wasn't like weird she like put her arm around me in the photo she's not
like weird about being touched I just want like I didn't see that on my list of things that were
gonna happen last night like leaving with an enormous love and respect for SJP yeah she was
awesome she was awesome um and it was really a fabulous event lots of people were there I'm like
kind of you know infiltrating the real housewives of New York new generation. So obviously everybody knows I met
Erin and Abe at BravoCon and like we're just kind of like a throuple now. But I met Jessel which I
know means nothing to you because you don't watch the show. I know I saw an episode and a half. But
do you like you know Jessel? I know that she's a big topic of conversation from this season. Because
she like started off y yikes, energy.
Like she was just, it did come out at the reunion
that she moved from Dallas for the show.
And once everyone found that out,
they were like, oh, she moved for the show?
Like you would do it too.
No, moving for a job, it happens every day.
It's really not a big deal.
But she was just giving like such try hard energy
in the beginning.
And I think it really could have went south for her.
But then in the last couple of episodes,
like you really just saw that she's like this nice girl who like definitely wants to be famous, but she like
wants to be friends with everyone. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body. And everybody was
just coming for her so hard because she was giving like, like try hard kind of like energy. But the
fans were like, you know what? Like she's a nice girl. Like she didn't do, she's not been mean to
anyone. And she had this sort of resurgence. She, Rolling Stone did a big feature on her. It it was kind of like the year of Jessel and I got to meet her and it was actually really she
was fabulous oh cool yeah so like I'm just kind of infiltrating I gotta meet um and I know Uba
now that you're becoming friends with the women if they reach out to you for casting so there's a
lot of talk about them it's really not that no by not that unheard of. You're not that far off in like age now from this new cast.
I actually think I'm a perfect candidate for this show.
I would never do it.
Like ever.
Okay, but say they call you.
You wouldn't immediately hang up the phone.
No, I would go through the process and either hope that they don't accept me
or if they actually offered me a job, like I would really, really have to think about it.
But I think I would say no. I feel like you would go through the process and like you know where
the chips fall where they may like if you got the job like if you didn't get the job it was meant to
be and then if you got the job you would really consider it and I can see you considering it to
the point of accepting it I would consider it but honestly I think as I get older maybe when I was
younger I would have done it in a second I think it was like probably a goal of mine at some point.
Yeah.
I think it's part of the reason I got married.
Like for,
however,
I think as I get older,
like it's important to bloom where you're planted.
I feel like we have such a good thing going here.
Like in terms of my career.
It might ruin this because like,
say you did the show and then like,
say you were on for two or three seasons,
whenever you got off the show,
like then you're just like a former housewife with a podcast.
And like,
that's just not our vibe here. And you know know there's really only one person in the bravo
sphere who has negated that sort of trope and that's hannah burner yeah people don't even think
of her anymore as an ex-reality star and that's so major for her every time she comes on the
toast i say like i'm so impressed and happy for you because it could be a dark road after you get
fired from a show like that and you still try to live a public life because it was your career and your you know your uh income.
I always tell her that because it's so impressive and I think she's the only person I can think of.
Yeah. Who didn't like Denise Richards is fine like who didn't have something before.
Yeah and who like arguably is bigger and more beloved after leaving the show yeah than when she was on
it yeah and then at BravoCon like they were asked like what would Hannah like like Kyle and Amanda
were like the ones who had kicked her off and then so they were asked like would you have her back
and they were like totally like of course I'm sure they want her TikTok followers yeah I'm sure
Hannah like loved hearing that do you think she would go back never in her life nor should she
even if she wasn't having this amazing success like she was just on the Drew Barrymore show,
even if she was literally living on the street,
she would not go back.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
So you would consider it.
I would consider it,
but I really don't think it's right for me.
But it could also be amazing for our show.
Of course.
People love you on Roni,
and then they want more of you,
and they can have you every day.
To be honest, it would be one of those things.
And actually, it would be something I weigh very heavily and consider and talk to you
and the family about.
And I think ultimately you would tell me not to do it.
I likely would.
Yes.
Because in your words, and you said this once, and it's how I think about everything now,
like, does the risk outweigh the reward?
And for me, it does.
Yeah.
like does the risk outweigh the reward and for me it does yeah I I would agree with me and agree with you and agreeing with me but it's a good question because a lot of people are talking
about me potentially being no I'm kidding I've not heard from anyone but there could be like a
huge huge like if it all went well the reward could be infinite the operative word being could
right like it could be like a Molly Mae situation. It
could. She like has made me feel a little differently. I would still go with like my gut
because not everyone gets to be Molly Mae. Do you know how many not Molly Mae's there are? Right.
Polly Faye. But she's got me thinking like being a little more optimistic but still realistic.
Sorry Molly. So no but it was fabulous to hang with the ladies oh and then
I tagged Jessel in my story being like oh my god I met Jessel because I was so excited and I saw
that she had messaged me previously because she's like a fashion publicist and she had invited me to
an event that was featured on the show when she had that thing at her apartment for like for one
of her brands and all the ladies were like wow she got like really major like fashion people there
and everyone was like except not turdy she couldn't get turdy everyone was like
Jessel could do this and that's when like everybody kind of like turned like who was there
like a lot of fashion people whose names I don't know and you wouldn't know either but if you saw
them like you know that like older lady with the red bob and like the blush not Grace no not Grace
Coddington but like she's like a classic fashion guy and then like that guy with the glasses you
know okay do you know what I mean yeah yeah but she didn't get dirty there so she didn't but I
had seen I should have went I didn't see the message you would have never never but now you
know for next time yeah because I've actually I think one time in my life been to an event that
was being filmed for Bravo I think you were there too yeah for Margaret no also um fashion week kyle's store in new york this two you're right two events
and we got on tv we got on tv the margaret one was cut so it wasn't ever but it was like a pride
event in jersey and let me tell you i had no fun at either event like it's really it's made for
filming it's not like a real event yeah you're just like person in the background watching the
drama yeah so i i didn't enjoy it.
Those events really aren't fun.
No, not if you want to be a star.
No, not if you want to like have fun and like have a drink and dance.
They can't even play music.
So true.
They're not fun.
Yeah, but we did get on TV.
We did.
That's funny.
Yeah, Kyle by Aileen too.
Yeah.
So the event was really lovely.
It was fun.
And we had a great time. It was fun to be together, all sisters,ileen too. Yeah. So the event was really lovely. It was fab. And we had a great time.
It was fun to be together, all sisters, get a little glam.
Hang out with like fellow celebrities.
Yeah.
It was good.
Celebrate the holidays.
Usher in the holidays.
We're not talking enough about.
We're not talking.
And we actually haven't spoken about it enough.
And for that, we intend to do better because.
We're listening.
We're listening to holiday music and we're learning.
From scripture. From scripture. Happy holidays, everyone. scripture happy holidays everyone it's a time to start celebrating and you know when
you'll it's really time rach parcells christmas decorations go up next week so she was giving us
a little teaser about what we can expect she's only doing one tree this year not two drew's very
happy about that okay so i think it's the one tree is going to be like the major rock and the baddest
she's also incorporating a splash of maroon into her decor this year.
And I think that's beautiful because Rach says red is the color of the season.
Red is the color of the season.
But I can't believe she never had red in her Christmas decor before.
I can't believe there are people out there who have houses and are of the Catholic Christian
faith and don't have 45 trees.
Not only do I live in an apartment, I'm also a Jew.
So like, I couldn't even have one if I tried.
But if I could, I would only be able to have one.
Your new apartment is tree friendly.
Does anybody, any other like Goyim,
no, not Goyim.
What's the opposite of Goyim?
Jews.
Any other Jews or just people
who aren't like celebrating Christmas,
look at their apartment during the winter season
and be like, oh, if I had a tree,
it would go there.
Because I do that.
I know exactly where I would put it.
Well, your old apartment, like. There was like there was nowhere for it would be like scraping up
all right tell me rude no no it's just like wasn't tree friendly tree friendly this apartment
is tree friendly no I know I think all but you know what else I've been thinking about
you know we have Hanukkah it's good but it's good we have Hanukkah and you know you light candles once a day
for eight days
and part of the mitzvah
is to obviously
light the candle
but then to publicize
the nays
which means publicize
the miracle.
Now in my old apartment
I couldn't publicize shit
because nobody could see
into my windows
I lived in an alley.
No but the brick wall
knew about the miracle.
My brick wall
knew about the miracle.
He was an educated brick wall.
Okay.
In my new apartment
I can publicize
the shit out of my nays.
Can't wait for someone to throw an egg at my house.
Yeah, truly.
I'm going to get egged.
Got to publicize the nace.
Anything for the nace.
So it's holiday season and that's really exciting.
We're not talking about it enough.
No, we're not.
You're here.
And we're disgusting for that.
Snow is falling as the carolers sing.
Just wasn't the same. Alone on Christmas Day.
Wait, I got another one. Take a trip down candy cane lane with me.
It's a win, win, win, win, win, win.
I confess, I confess, you're the best.
Best I ever had.
Take a trip down Candy Cane Lane with me.
So yeah, that season's upon us.
And that's exciting.
It is.
It is, it is.
Should we dive in?
We've got five stories.
The SAG-AFTRA news that we've all been waiting for.
You guys, SAG-AFTRA.
We have CMA awards.
It's bittersweet.
Let's talk about it. Okay, so we'll get into it. we also have the cma awards and like i have a lot to say great because i
didn't watch them did you watch them no out no i have a lot to say about like the results about
the awards themselves the awards themselves yeah unburden yourselves cmas without further ado it
is time for that type stories that you need to know.
Today's episode of The Toast is brought to you by the farmer's dog.
So the results of switching your dog food from kibble to fresh can seem like magic.
When a senior dog starts acting like a puppy again and the pickiest of eaters can't wait for dinner time,
you might think that some spells were cast. But the farmer's dog doesn't use any sorcery or secret ingredients to make their fresh food.
They just use science. So what is the farmer's dog? They make and sorcery or secret ingredients to make their fresh food. They just use science.
So what is the farmer's dog?
They make and deliver fresh, healthy food for your dog.
It's developed by vets.
It's nutritionally balanced, and it's made from real healthy ingredients.
It's made to human food safety standards.
It is the best option for dogs at all life stages because it's not kibble and it's not canned goo.
It's just real healthy food.
Traditional dry and wet dog food options are highly processed.
They can use much lower quality ingredients than they claim to,
and they are extremely difficult to portion accurately.
The farmer's dog is not just fresh, higher quality food.
They also send the food pre-portioned specifically for your dog
based on their unique nutritional needs.
This makes it easy to help your dog maintain their ideal weight,
which is one of the biggest indicators of a full healthy life.
Dogs at a healthy weight can live up to two and a half years longer than overweight dogs. If you have a strice
bro in your life, I mean, I've been experiencing this recently, like their health, their well-being
is the most important thing. And what you give them twice a day or three times a day, depending
on what kind of mom you are, is so important. I switched to Fresh Healthy Dog Food from the
Farmer's Dog a little while ago. Immediate results. Theo's breath was so much better. His
poops were more consistent. His coat was really shiny. He felt energy. I've heard of senior dogs who get
like new leases on life when they switch to fresh, healthy food. So it doesn't matter if your dog is
young or old, it's always the right time to begin investing in their health. Get 50% off your first

You're welcome.
First story, the strike is over.
Oh my God.
SAG-AFTRA and the studios have reached a tentative deal
on new three-year contract.
Emphasis on the word tentative.
Emphasis on tentative and three years.
Like, we're going to have to do this again three years?
Or maybe within these three years,
they can reach a deal that's not so tentative I also feel like a couple of weeks ago it was like
oh they're back at the table tentative something yeah this feels more conclusive because everybody's
talking about it like everyone's acting like it's over but last time there was something but
you knew it like wasn't gonna last right so for now I'm just assuming like the strike is fully
over yeah because this is everyone's acting like this is the news they were waiting for you know
and Fran Drescher like put out a statement we did it
you know. Yeah so after 118 days of the Actors Guild being out on strike, SAG-AFTRA and the
studios on Wednesday reached a tentative deal on a new contract that could see Hollywood up and
running again within weeks. The strike will be over as of 12.01 a.m pacific time on today. Oh.
Putting an end to more than seven months of labor unrest in Hollywood that saw the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA hit the picket line.
I know that AFSTRA doesn't have an S in it, and everyone's like,
Claudia, Jackie, you're reading it wrong.
It's SAG-AFTRA to me, and it always will be.
It's just a scratch in my brain.
Yeah.
Scratch is an itch.
In my mouth.
Yeah, SAG-AFTRA.
SAG-AFTRA hit the picket lines in the industry's first joint strike in more than 60 years,
culminating a dramatic day of studio earnings results and deadline ultimatums the actor skilled 17 member negotiating committee unanimously voted this afternoon to recommend a tentative agreement
to the sagafstra board okay specific details of the deal are expected to be revealed when the
agreement goes to the board on friday yes i don't know what the deal is i was looking for it like
what's gonna happen with ai right with the extra like all the talking points we've been talking
about what does it mean for the streamers but what does
it really mean for us let's talk about that because that means this means like yes everyone's going
back to work fabulous we love but we can't talk about the SAG-AFTRA strike anymore and that's
kind of been a cornerstone of our show for like since the summer yeah like we always have seasons
of what we talk about like it's Travis and Taylor. Or the Kardashians or the Royals. And like it's been Sag Astro.
And so it's bittersweet to say goodbye to this chapter.
If you know it is goodbye.
If it is indeed.
But I do feel like things were getting a little long in the tooth with Sag Astro.
Especially after Halloween.
So there was like a lot of infighting within members.
At first it was Sag Astro strong.
Oh my god.
You do not step out of Sag Astro strong.
At first it was Sag Astro strong.
Everybody. T-shirts. picketing no sort of unrest within the community
then the Halloween thing tipped people off and also it was just going on long and of course
everybody knows that like they were trying to get the best deal but a deal is better than no deal
and people were like listen it's just really dragging on right now oh my god and then like
the Drew Barrymore era I forgot about that right so I do feel like there was a lot of unrest within
the actual union and they needed to get it done yeah because people weren't working and I'm sure
there were people that were feeling like maybe I should just go get a job like right I think that
they needed to put an end to the strike and a deal deal, any deal is better than no deal.
Right.
Deal or no deal.
I'm going to go with deal.
Deal.
So they have a tentative deal.
And yeah, but I agree.
It's been a big part of the Fast Five stories around here.
You were going to miss it.
Let's lay this to rest like and give it a proper
finale. What was your favorite moment of the SAG-AFTRA strike? I actually really enjoyed talking
about the daytime hosts like Bill Maher, Jennifer Hudson and people's decision making during that
time because obviously daytime talk show they have writers but it's not scripted so it kind of fell
in this like weird in-between space and a lot of people were going to go back without writers we
remember what happened and following like celebrities being messy like I'm gonna do this
actually no I'm doing this oh actually I'm gonna do this that was interesting and also just thought
it was interesting that somebody was doing something that they knew they were going to
get backlash for but still felt strongly enough to do it. Unpopular but yeah like the right thing
to do. Yeah I thought that was just an interesting time.
I actually enjoyed commenting on that.
Yeah, because you were able to have an opinion.
There were takes to be had.
Right.
It wasn't just like, obviously, we all think like,
yeah, SAG should get better.
We all agree with the union.
Like, SCAB, SAG should be better.
But then Drew was just like, fucking shit up, you know?
Yeah.
What was your favorite part?
I did enjoy that part because it allowed for nuanced opinions and conversation.
I really enjoyed being called a scab.
We were called scabs.
Just for asking questions.
That was, you know, funny for me.
You know what else I really enjoyed?
I really enjoyed seeing people who I like follow on Instagram get opportunities
that they wouldn't have ordinarily gotten because celebrities weren't able to go on talk shows
or do any form of press for any projects.
And they really didn't even have any projects coming up.
And if they did, they weren't allowed to talk about them.
So I thought it was cool to see people, you know, getting opportunities who probably wouldn't
because it would be competing with, you know, everybody else.
Yeah.
But because all these actors and people in SAG
had to take a step back
and not do things
that they wouldn't ordinarily do,
it kind of gave a platform
for other people
to get those opportunities.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Do you think that anything
that happened for us
had to,
did we benefit from the strike at all?
No.
Have you been on,
like, any,
have you gotten anything?
No, I don't think so.
No, I'm just trying to think.
No, I don't,
no, I don't think so. No, just trying no I don't no I don't think
so no but I'm happy for everyone that did yeah benefit like that was cool to see like influencers
or um like digital people being tapped for things because SAG members were unavailable yeah yeah
so hopefully this is it and that the tentative deal becomes a final deal. Because as much as I like talking about it, I am over it.
I want people to get back to work.
People need to work.
Content needs to resume.
And that's the way of things.
That's just the way it is.
I do look forward to hearing the deal points and how they got better.
Got better and got on the same page.
Who really had to give?
Who really took? I think SAG probably
had to give I'm sure they ended up with a better deal than they initially had but probably not all
the things that they wanted yeah it's interesting yeah so are you ready for our next story the other
big news of the day the CMA awards were on last night the stars hit the carpet looking gorgeous
and we have the winners yeah shall we Shall we? Yeah. So last night
was the night of Laini Wilson. She swept the awards entertainer of the year which is the big
prestigious award of the night. So that's what I want to talk about. Went to Laini Wilson. She was
up against Luke Holmes, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood and Morgan Wallen. So before I say
anything I want to say I'm an enormous Laini Wilson fan. I've seen her perform I think twice.
Her song Grease is my go-to treadmill song. It's so good. I saw her at the ACM Awards perform Grease
and I was like she's not human. Like she's incredible. So nothing I'm about to say is in
any way like a dig towards Laini Wilson. I just feel like that's important to say. Entertainer
of the Year is this massive award. It's the equivalent of like record I mean album of the
year at the Grammys. That's like the big award that everybody stays and waits for.
Now, that award never goes to a woman.
Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood are always nominated.
Almost like seriously, like just to say that they nominated two women.
They never win.
A woman hasn't won since 2011.
Carrie and Miranda are always up for it.
They know she's never.
Oh, and I think the last time they won, they gave it to both of them.
Okay?
Like such bullshit. Okay? Like, such bullshit.
Okay?
Now, as a country music fan myself, it's not even my opinion.
It's sheer fact that the entertainers of the year were Luke Holmes and Morgan Wallen.
Yeah.
They went on the same size tour as Taylor Swift.
Luke Holmes just got back from Australia to play country music.
Well, they actually have a lot of country music in Australia, but yeah.
Do you know a country music. Well, they actually have a lot of country music in Australia, but yeah. Do you know a country music...
I mean, he was also in Scotland in a kilt.
Country music is...
Australia is 19 hours away.
I'm just saying, it's another world.
Yeah.
And it's actually just inaccurate for her to have won.
Yeah.
And it actually bothers me that they gave it to her because it almost feels like they
only gave it to her because she's a woman, which feels like so invalid.
And there were so many other years where like the women were actual contenders, like doing
stadium tours, headlining the Super Bowl.
Like there were years where the women who were nominated were the entertainers of the
year and they didn't even get it then.
Yeah.
So for me, for her to get it, I just feel like it kind of is a slap in the face to women in comedy.
Women in music.
Because she clearly wasn't.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
And so it feels like she got it because she's a woman.
The bar is lower for women.
Yeah.
Like, how can you really?
Lainey Wilson opened for Luke Combs' stadium tour.
Like, it doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
And she's amazing.
And her songs play all over the radio.
No, she's amazing.
She's everywhere.
I love her.
She's only at the beginning of her career.
By the way, she won New Artist of the Year when we were, oh no, I was in Vegas.
What year was that?
Two years ago.
So she won New Artist of the Year two years ago.
She's brand new.
No, the fact that she opened up for Luke Holmes just tells you what you need to know.
Like, and I hate to be like a naysayer because we should be celebrating the
fact that a woman won but if you're like a fan of country music like you know this isn't accurate
and then it just kind of it you're right it sets the bar lower for women yeah it was like luke holmes
and morgan wallen are doing things for country music that are historic they're they're doing
things for music that are historic.
Yeah, like at the top of the Billboard charts,
like I think Luke had like two top five hits.
Fast Car.
They were like one, two, three, four, five for a while.
Luke Holmes' Or a Morgan Wallen song
has been on the number one country
and also like top five of all Billboard
for the entire year.
A week has not gone by.
Of all Billboard.
Yeah.
It's the two of them.
Like, come on
yeah and even if you wanted to give it to a woman actually Carrie Underwood is doing a
Vegas residency she's the Super Bowl queen of the NFL like she could get it she did a stadium
tour she did two nights at MSG by herself headlining like she like for Carrie Underwood
to sit there seriously after year after year after year of getting
slapped in the face for you to go to a woman who's not her like I'm sorry like that's bullshit
yeah and again this has nothing to do with Lainey Wilson I love her yeah and she will have her time
she will be all ahead of her yeah how it feels like she just got who else was nominated Chris
Stapleton yeah he had a line stagecoach like he could always win he could always win like annoying
when he wins everything
because there are other people who are talented.
There are, but he wins everything for a reason.
The thing is, anybody could make an argument.
And Chris Stapleton is on a tour right now.
You could make an argument for really anyone who was nominated,
except Laini Wilson.
Yeah.
Unless I'm missing something, which I'm totally possibly missing something.
No, she's doing big things in entertainment,
but not a Taylor Swift-sized tour. Yeah, no, I mean, she was on Yellowstone. Yeah, she's doing big things in entertainment, but like not a Taylor Swift-sized tour.
Yeah, no, I mean, she was on Yellowstone.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well.
I was shocked.
Yeah, that is pretty shocking.
And to be honest, if we really want to talk about
who had a big year as a woman in country,
like where's Kelsey Ballerini?
She made a lot of waves.
Yeah.
With rolling out the welcome mat.
Yeah.
So I'm just saying.
Single of the year. Went to Fast Car by Luke Holmes. Yeah. So I'm just saying. Single of the year.
Went to Fast Car by Luke Holmes.
Love.
You know how I feel.
Album of the year went to Lainey Wilson.
This is really hard for me.
Because my album of the year is Getting Old by Luke Holmes.
Of course.
What else was nominated?
Ashley McBride.
Love her.
And Morgan Wallen's One Thing at a Time.
And Rolling Up the Welcome Mat by Kelsey Ballerini.
Oh.
Okay.
I love a lot of the songs from Laini Wilson's album.
It wasn't my album of the year, but that doesn't make it an incorrect choice.
She's amazing.
Like, sure.
I think, honestly, they all could.
You could have made an argument for any of these albums to win.
For sure.
But again, like, Luke and Morgan's albums have been, like, colossal this year.
The thing is, with Morgan, is that they've recently started to incorporate him back into like
the country things like nominating him.
I don't think he will ever win.
Not.
For a while.
Not right now.
So fine.
So like I don't even consider like I'm not even gonna make a case for him because like
I think remember CMT took.
Yes.
CMT took him off.
Yeah.
Oh and by the way when they when they announced Lain Wilson, they cut to Luke and they cut to Morgan.
And they were both honestly mad.
As they should be.
They were mad.
They're trailblazing.
And they're huge country guys.
They're always having what they're doing has not been done before.
No, and I have long said, I feel like a few years ago when we did a CMA recap,
I said it's always the same people.
Like Jason Aldean Luke Bryan Blake
Shelton who get nominated and win entertainer of the year and like honestly they suck and Eric
Church I don't include Eric Church in that group I think he's like standalone but like I always say
it's like for a while it was like those men of country music who really stunk like I'm sorry
they're so basic and whatever like they don't make waves in music they're just like famous because
they make like catchy country
songs like Luke and Morgan are on another planet right now for sure this year for sure for me for
sure anyways I would have said and I like Morgan Wallen's album I've actually been listening to it
like now I have the time for it me too but Luke's is better album is unbelievable wait speaking of
Morgan and Luke I told you this in the car on the way home yesterday.
So the night before the CMA Awards,
every year there's this thing called BMI,
and it's like the Organization of Songwriters.
It's kind of like SAG, I think, for songwriters.
And they have like a big fancy ceremony.
They get Songwriter of the Year.
Luke was it this year.
But what they did that made a lot of waves is that they have performers.
It doesn't get like televised anywhere,
but there's like videos and stuff of it.
Luke and Morgan Wallen actually performed together, which they, I don't think have ever
done.
And they sang each other songs.
So Luke sang Thought You Should Know by Morgan Wallen and Morgan Wallen sang Going Going
Gone by Luke Combs.
And it was kind of a big deal because people are always talking about these two.
I think a lot of people think there's beef.
I don't think that there is.
I think Luke was asked about it. He was
like, is there any competition? And Luke was like, yeah, but not in a negative way. The competition
is healthy. Like you want to be challenged and have somebody who's doing the same sort of thing
as you so you can constantly be like getting better. So they definitely see each other. But
people are always like collab, collab. And like, no, they don't. No, but I saw a video recently of
I think it was Luke doing or Morgan. It sounds a little bit like my daddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think before Luke really, really blew up and Morgan like was releasing music.
Like they have both covered each other.
Oh, it's an old video?
Yes, they have both covered each other's songs.
There's a video of Morgan singing something.
And there's a video of Luke singing.
She sounds a little bit like my daddy.
I don't cuss around my mama.
Okay, because I saw
that recently and I was like, hey, but now. No, they're both old. Well, there's room for everyone.
They're literally my top two favorite artists, so there's no competition. I have room in my
earbuds for both of them. Yeah. Song of the year, crazy, fast car, songwriter, Tracy Chapman. Oh,
I love this for Tracy Chapman. Right? Imagine like I don't know 20 years after writing a song you win song of the year in another category.
So did Luke go up?
Like who goes up?
Did Tracy go up?
I don't know if she was there.
That's so interesting.
Yeah.
That's so crazy.
That's cool.
That is cool.
Female vocalist of the year obviously went to Lainey Wilson because you can't be the entertainer of the year without also winning your category.
Male vocalist of the year went to Chris Stapleton.
Yeah. Yeah. entertainer of the year and not the also winning your category male vocalist of the year went to chris stapleton yeah yeah but like the thing is luke i don't me too we're by the way we're biased we have to acknowledge that okay but also i don't get mad when somebody wins and like i could make
an argument for it you know yeah no but yes yes yes vocal group of the year old dominion there's
like not even a competition well lady a they're
my vocal group every year but acknowledge your own bias acknowledge that you know it's just one
of those things that i like more than the average person little big town midland and zach brown band
they're also zach brown band yeah yeah vocal duo of the year brothers osborne love them they
probably didn't say i was gonna, the best thing to ever happen
to Brothers Osborne
is Florida Georgia Line
breaking up
and whatever happened
with Scooter Braun
and Dan and Shay
because like they kind of
fell off the face of the planet.
They just put out
a new album though
and it's really good.
But they're,
I never said they weren't talented
but they were like,
for a minute,
like every song they made,
billion streams.
Billion streams.
And then like they took
some time off
and I think they said
that they actually experienced
like a lot of conflict between the two of them and then I feel like they
went through something weird with their management. They just kind of fell off the face of the earth.
Yeah. So it's just a series of fortunate events for the brothers Osborne who are brothers and
are tight and they work hard and they just keep their heads down you know. Yep and then the other
big category was new artist of the year and that that went to Jelly Roll. Which that's actually was a stiff competition.
Because you had Zach Bryan.
Who's like doing crazy things in music.
Oh.
And Megan Maroney.
Okay by the way.
I'm sorry.
Like Zach Bryan should have won.
And I don't even like listen to Zach Bryan.
But like I know.
Yeah.
He's doing crazy things.
He's doing.
By the way.
He's literally new artist.
Contender. And does stadiums like i'm
sorry but does he have a record label i don't know why he's independent yeah something about him i
don't know if it's just like he gives independent energy like i feel like he's like the frank ocean
of country music he's definitely like a renegade outlaw but i think that's just like his brand
zach bryan record label I feel like he's independent.
He's at Capitol Records.
Oh.
He's fine.
Why do I think that he's just like.
Because that's how good
his branding is.
Totally.
Yeah, he's just like an outlaw
with his rope.
And I mean for me
the new artist of the year
would have been Megan Maroney
but I can acknowledge
my bias in that.
Yeah, yeah.
She's small time
compared to Zach Bryan
and Jelly Roll.
Right.
But I do think an argument
can be made for Jelly Roll.
Yeah, but I think
the thing is for me...
And his wife is a podcaster
so we have no choice
but to support.
We love, we love,
we love, love, love, love,
love, love, love
to see podcasters thriving.
And he's amazing.
I watched his documentary
and I feel like I did
a whole episode on it.
Yeah.
I just think Zach Bryan
is currently bigger.
Yeah, but it worked in my head
when he was independent
because it's like,
okay, then he's not going
to get these awards.
He didn't have the campaign.
Yeah, right, right, right.
He has to campaign for these awards and because he doesn't have a label.
Anyone speaking on his behalf.
He didn't get it.
Yeah.
So I like that narrative better.
You're welcome.
But anyways, the girlies were looking good.
Lainey Wilson looked incredible.
I loved her outfit because I love that it was like fashion but also super country.
That's so her, by the way.
Yeah.
I think that was the name of her album,
Bell Bottom Country.
Like she loves clothes.
She's so girly,
but she's really like,
she represents for a lot of people.
Like everybody loves it.
Like the current country music,
like isn't country.
She represents for a lot of people,
like country music.
Bringing back country music.
Her outfit was Carolina Herrera.
Wow.
And it's giving my wedding dress.
Let me see.
I love. And by the way, have you seen her boyfriend he's so hot it's they're a smut novel oh my god you need to see a picture of her and her boyfriend and then listen to the song grease which is all
about like having a man with dirty hands come home and it's a it's a novel it's danielle steel it's
colin hoover it's lucy looks so beautiful me see. I haven't seen the red carpet pictures.
I love her dress.
Okay, you like aren't showing me.
They're bad.
Oh, sorry.
I've been beheaded on the iPad.
So cute.
I'm obsessed.
So cute.
I'm obsessed.
Post Malone was there.
Yeah.
He respects the hell out of country music.
And they respect the hell out of him.
Him, Morgan Wallen, Hardy, and some other guys started like a band together.
And they just released three songs.
Oh, I think I saw some of it.
And Morgan Wallen was there and he cut his hair.
He looked hot as hell.
Yeah, but I like the mullet.
No.
I liked the mullet.
Also, I heard a rumor.
I think I read it on Jumoa.
Lindsay Hubbard was there.
Yeah, I know.
I hope she met someone.
Me too.
She would.
I saw it on her TikTok.
I read a thing, I think maybe like Jumoa or whatever, that Harry Styles has a buzz cut now.
Breaking news.
Oh, I could see that being handsome.
The thing is, there are like certain people,
and there's not a lot of them.
But Harry Styles is definitely one of those like faces,
anything works.
Yeah.
And they're all my favorite.
Kind of like David Beckham.
Remember in the documentary he had so many Harry Styles?
Honestly, DTF for each one.
Yeah, each one yeah
each one was better than the last I agree I would love to see buzzed Harry yeah I think I saw like a
very blurry dark silhouette of him and he appeared to have a but he looks like David Beckham yeah
no he he he can pull anything off yeah okay well that's your CMA recap I wish I got a chance to
watch it me too it's always a fun night in country music but I'm sure if there were any great
performances they'll make their way to me.
Yeah.
I'm just going to sit back and receive that.
Yeah.
Let them come to you.
Are you ready for our next?
I don't chase.
I attract.
What is mine will find me.
Literally.
Are you ready for our next story?
Mm-hmm.
Robert Kardashian
wanted to marry Priscilla Presley
until she cooked for him.
Me.
Me.
Priscilla Presley
who divorced Elvis Presley 50 years ago after a turbulent six-year marriage
claimed in a q event last week that she had never wanted to marry after him after elvis because no
one could ever match the music legend however that's not the whole story in the mid 70s after
her split from elvis she fell head over heels for robert kardashian before he married chris
an insider said that um robert was at one time desperate to marry her.
They said, quote, Priscilla made Robert very happy.
He wanted to marry her and have children with her.
That was definitely his hope, his plan.
The two were intimate virtually from the moment they met,
and it was love at first sight.
It's really so crazy.
Things like this just always remind me because I need to be reminded.
The Kardashians really come from L.A. royalty.
Yeah.
And they're connected
in so many different ways
to so many different people.
I mean OJ.
Elvis.
Now Elvis.
Even before there was
an Elvis connection
because Linda.
Yeah.
Linda Thompson
who was married to Caitlyn.
That's Brody Jenner
and Brandon Jenner's mom.
Yeah.
Dated Elvis after Priscilla.
Yes.
A close friend recalled that Robert vehemently complained how,
while he was making love to Priscilla,
Elvis would ring her up, sounding incoherent.
And also Robert's close friend, Larry Cranes,
I believe that Todd's father, father of Todd,
remembered Robert telling him that Priscilla was terrific, but this guy Elvis doesn't stop controlling her oh wow that's a lot to get
into yeah I also did see um because Priscilla's doing like another round of press because of the
Priscilla movie I believe it was Gayle King or someone maybe it wasn't Gayle King, asking her like, finally, like you were 14. He was 24. You
know, like, let's talk about that. Yeah. And she maintains that it was very innocent, very
non-sexual for a while. And even though he was 24, he always treated her with respect and she's not,
he wasn't a groomer and she doesn't feel like it was predatory in any way. She maintains that.
Yeah. I read her book and that's the story that she's telling.
They had a relationship, but it wasn't sexual for a few years,
and then they got married.
It's weird, no?
I just feel like I love storytelling, and I love great romances,
and I can look past things, you know?
I just think we should be talking
about how weird it is you know we could still romanticize Priscilla the movie on the scale of
weird things that are seen it's not that high up for me especially because like they then got
married and they had a totally traditional relationship so yeah it's if you want to dig into it no i'm at the time but it's
literally 50 years ago and it worked out so alive and it worked out for them and she doesn't see it
that way and she's a grown woman now okay let me ask you another question what do you think is
weirder okay 14 year old priscilla 24 year old elvis starting a relationship although it wasn't
sexual but they met at that age and ended up getting married and like having sex or not when she was 14 but
no i said ended up yeah oh my god not you defending them um or woody allen sunyi
what are the what were the ages there i mean there's a big age gap but she was
of age when they but it's weird because he was.
Temporary stepfather.
Yeah.
Yes.
What do you think is weirder?
It's a good question.
I guess that one.
Woody Allen.
Because of the family connection?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I actually think Elvis is weirder.
Because the thing is, I mean, it's fucking weird what Woody Allen did.
But they were never related. They aren't't related and she was of age yeah so he didn't you know break any laws it's
just weird yeah Elvis's is you know borderline illegal but he didn't break any laws if he waited
until she was of age yeah but do you just not believe that they waited oh no no I mean I don't know I've never thought
if no one's ever asked me that question before so like if they met when she was 14 and I forget
the details from her book but say they didn't consummate until she was 17 or 18 that would
make him 27 28 yeah okay but if you believe that okay I never thought much about whether or not I
believed it that's a good question.
And I believe it because I read the book.
Yeah, well, I didn't read the book.
So just based on my very limited knowledge, if you ask me if I believed it, like, I would say no.
Okay.
And I believe it because I read the book, and I just don't think she would spend that much time lying in her memoir.
Yeah, no, like, why write a book if you're just going to lie?
Right.
Like, your memoir is, like, written by, like, that's going to be here after you leave. Like, don't tell lies.
By the way, I feel like I'm really cutting you off a lot today i could feel it i'm sorry i don't feel it you're fine keep going
no no so do you believe it i just answered your question i wasn't listening i said because like
i don't know a lot no so that's why it's weird because you think he was you know with a 14 year
old yeah so did you answer my woody allen question which one did you think was was, you know, with a 14-year-old. Yeah. So did you answer my Woody Allen question?
Which one did you think was weirder?
I thought, I guess Woody Allen's weirder because of the familial ties.
Yeah.
And because I've, like, made peace with Elvis and Priscilla.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, for me personally.
Maybe you need to see the movie Priscilla.
See it from Priscilla's POV because it is based on her book.
Right.
Fine.
I would love to do that.
I also, I did watch the Mia Farrow.
That was fucking wild wild I didn't
watch it it wasn't even so I don't really have opinions it wasn't even so much about Sunni it
was just about the insane way that all those kids grew up are Woody and Soon still together
I think Woody and Soon are still an item yeah huh there's proof in the pudding I know like
it's weird it's weird because at some point like no. Like, it's weird. It's weird.
Because at some point,
like,
no matter how weird it is
when two people get together,
if they're together
for such a long amount of time,
like,
you just have to,
like,
kind of accept it.
Yeah,
it's meant to be.
It's like if somebody steals
your boyfriend
and you're so mad,
but then what,
you're going to be mad at them
when they're 90 years old
and still in love?
Yeah.
You got to get over it.
You were in the way.
It's there but shared
and you weren't.
You were in the way.
Right.
Get the fuck out of the way.
You were standing in the way of true love.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our next story?
This story is really crazy.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have made progress in their legal fight over the $15 million
amount to see to home with man who says he was in a post-operative delirium when he sold
his home to the stars.
Man who sold his home to the stars is Cameron Westcott's father-in-law his name is Carl Westcott and he started 1-800 flowers and last
time we were on the toast I misspoke and said that it was her father yeah Cameron comes from a lot of
money too she I'm sure she does it's her husband's 1-800 flowers yes so he's a businessman Carl
Westcott he's 84 he's also a veteran which you know doesn't look good for the image wise for the Perry
Bloom camp but Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have cleared a legal hurdle in their ongoing legal
battle with businessman Carl Wescott father-in-law of Cameron Wescott who says he was medicated at
the time he decided to sell his home to the pop star Carl Wescott father-in-law of Cameron Wescott
who finalized the sale of his home to Katy Perry in July of 2020 has sought the court to overturn
the sale saying he was under the influence of pain medication when he agreed to sell the
eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom home. He subsequently sued Katy Perry's business manager the month
after the sale went through. As the trial commences past September, the judge split up
the parties in the case as Katy has countersued Carl over damages as a result of the real estate
row. On Wednesday in LA Superior Court, a judge issued a tentative ruling
that Carl was in his right mind
when he proceeded
with the real estate sale
more than three years ago,
people reported
after reviewing the docs.
Okay, like,
you know,
order of the court,
like he said what he said,
but you know,
it's got me thinking,
okay, so she like bought this house.
There's so many other houses,
like wouldn't you just like
give it back just
to not have your name?
And by the way,
legally it sounds actually
like Katy Perry didn't do anything wrong wrong but all you see is the headline
she's being sued by an ancient uh veteran like what okay would you just rather give the house
back and avoid all the drama yes but what she bought in july 2020 like they're in the house
i'm sure oh july 2020 i'm sorry right maybe they started construction her daughter's probably
the home no I'm sorry born in sorry I didn't put that together you're 100% right and now and like
I feel like for both parties honestly like you both have a ton of money one of you find another
house it's hard to like feel um any sort of empathy for these people you know yeah no it's like it's
in Kameen I don't know what's been going on with Carl since this happened. Where is he living? What is his history with the house?
Like maybe what if he has my favorite dog is buried in the yard.
Maybe it's the house that built him.
Maybe it's the house that built him.
And also for Katie, it's a house that like.
Built her daughter.
And everybody has ties to this house.
That's the thing about houses.
Like they never really belong to you.
Yeah, but it's also it's a very emotional thing.
It's not just
a real straight transaction.
No no.
I was having this conversation
recently actually
with some friends
because you know
friends break up
friends get buried
strangers get bored
and strangers get buried.
Like a part of growing up
is like you know
things change
maybe your parents
get divorced whatever.
The house you grew up in
usually doesn't stay
in your family.
Like they sell it for another family and it's like always so sad yeah it's like really hard
actually yeah because it's the house that that was like last season on southern charm austin's
parents were moving out of his family yes and for some reason like it really was emotional for me
even though i've never had that like we just don't have that sort haven't had that sort of experience um but I was just like really feeling for the Kroll family no
by the way it's like a weird part of like growing up it's like the acknowledgement that your parents
are getting older and that like you're kind of taking on the responsibility now and also that
you have to like say goodbye to your childhood room like say goodbye to your childhood you are
grown now goodbye no it's pathetic like it's so sad it's really hard yeah I think it depends when
it happens yeah but I think if you're like used to moving and then it's not a big deal.
But if it was like the home you were born into and then like your parents are moving
out when you're 30.
It's hard.
It's a lot.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
No.
No.
Because I have something to say and then you have something to say.
Do you know?
Do you know that?
Yes and yes.

our fifth and final story
some actually crazy news
the shocking moment
were you not wearing a hat?
I was, but I took it off during the first ad break.
Oh, I totally missed that.
That was intentional because two things.
It's warm in here.
Secondly, I don't know how that hat's going to look on the show.
So I wanted half the show with hat and half the show without.
So you can get clips from both.
No, and so like if it was good, I had it for half.
And if it was bad, thank God I took it off. No, I've definitely been thinking I need to wear hats more. Because I wore a hat and so like if it was good i had it for half and if it was bad
thank god i took it off no i've definitely been thinking i need to wear hats more because i wore
a hat recently because like my hair was so ugly and i looked so cute hats are like so cute and
when you have a good hat like we've made a couple great merch hats yeah i love this one i love the
black hundred percent hat that's like so cool for like incognito mode right no because i'm like a
real housewife of new York. Yeah, aspiring.
Yeah.
Actually, a hat would look cute with your outfit.
Like, wait. Throw it.
Oh my God, Claude, it's gonna look so cute.
Am I the coolest girl on the planet?
Obsessed.
Okay, I'll wear it for the rest,
and now I'll have clips from this and without.
You are gonna think it's different days.
We're so mysterious.
They were true that day I wore a vest.
Because those rules are fake.
Because that vest was disgusting.
No, no.
No, no, no.
You missed a line.
Okay.
Those rules are fake.
They were real that day I wore a vest.
Oh, no.
Those rules aren't real.
They were real that day I wore a vest. Because that vest was disgusting aren't real. They were real that day I wore a vest.
Because that vest was disgusting. That's really rude because I'm wearing a vest today. Yeah yeah yeah.
It's not disgusting. No it's so cute. It's from Amazon. It's in my storefront. Are you ready for
our fifth and final story? Yes. Which is not giving final story vibes. I should have like shoved it in
somewhere else because it's like a rough note to end on. It's okay. The shocking moment Gal Gadot's
screening of the Hamas terror attack film ended in massive brawl. I saw videos.
Protesters outside the Museum of Tolerance. You guys this you couldn't make this up. It was giving
very intolerant energy outside. There wasn't tolerance. It was the tolerance in the room with
us. Perfect A plus usage. Let me also say the Museum of Tolerance is LA's Holocaust Museum and
I just want to say if you find yourself outside of a Holocaust Museum protesting, like you really need to seek help and just go home.
You're in the wrong party and you should stay home. Get a job. Yeah. Video showed fights
between protesters outside the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance, where actress Gal Gadot had
organized a screening of footage of the brutal Hamas terror attack atrocities committed during
the October 7th invasion of Israel. The 47 minute footage provided by the IDF was aired to a select audience of celebrities
and influential personalities in LA and New York last night.
Does it say who was there?
Like, I'm dying to know.
No major Hollywood stars were there.
According to the LA Times, they also said it might have been due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Sure.
By the way, remember, like, for three years when you didn't want to go somewhere or something
happened?
Like, you blamed everything on COVID. Now we're i guess we're the strike is over and what
the hell does this screening this isn't a oscar-winning film it's literally real and it's
not scripted what the hell does it have to do with actors like that's like no that's such a lie
yeah i don't know why one has to do with the other also i feel like agado actually has a lot of
famous friends she's like such a weird Level of celebrity
Where she's literally
Been in one thing
And she's
Probably A-list forever
Like the Wonder Woman
Trilogy
Whatever it was
She would be so hard
Literally catapulted her
To such an extraordinary
Level of fame
She's like the global
Face of Revlon
Keeping up with the Joneses
Keeping up with the
Yeah she was in other stuff too
But like nothing
I feel like she might be
In like one other big thing
That we don't consume
She was in that movie
That we saw
Death on the Nile
Yes which we liked
She's also in Justice League
As Wonder Woman
Yeah she's a part of that
Like crew
Yeah
So she's so famous
I feel like
I mean she was responsible
For the Imagine video
And how many A-listers
Were in there
Like she knows a lot
Of A-listers
So I find it crazy
That nobody went
No I don't know
That nobody went But not, I don't know that nobody went.
But not like celebrities, but still influential.
Of course.
Behind the scenes people.
There are a lot of people who are part of Hollywood who like make a difference and are
influential that aren't famous.
I also think she's going to do more screenings.
I think this was just one night of it.
But there were about 200 people in attendance.
And I got like an uncensored
TikTok of like some of the footage I flipped away so fast like I did see like stuff it was really
like I it was really upsetting it's so upsetting and I don't understand what there is to protest
about people bearing witness to something that happened like what's what's your message what's
the beef like I mean I think it's my understanding that people who protest the screenings are people
who don't believe that the massacre happened.
So they think it's fake?
They think there aren't real hostages.
They think that there wasn't,
they think it's Israeli propaganda.
So the footage that they're viewing,
they think is fake stuff?
Like made by Israeli media.
Like that's really what they think.
But.
I think, I don't know.
But like the terrorist.
I can't pretend to understand.
Some of it's body cam footage,
but some of it was uploaded to Telegram by the
terrorists themselves.
Yeah.
What do they say to that?
That's not true.
Like they just make stuff up.
I can't.
I really can't get into the mindset of a mentally ill person.
Right.
Right.
So I'm doing my best.
Okay.
Right.
Lay off.
Okay.
No, I'm just trying to understand.
I know.
You know, the cause here.
Right.
Like what's the problem with viewing the footage?
Because I think if you're you know
pro-palestinian and and uh advocating on behalf of the palestinian people like that's you can be
that but also understand what that october 7th happened you know like that's not congress with
one another so I don't know who these people are yeah and what their cause is no I think that's
their cause but I guess part of their cause is denying that this happened and right dying that
people should see it even though hamas Right And denying that people Should see it
Even though
Hamas filmed it
And wanted people to see it
No and they're like
Proud of it
No it's like
That was like
The Babylon Bee headline
That was like
Hamas terrorists upset
That they filmed
Their entire massacre
And like the
People don't believe
Yeah
Yeah I saw that too
Well honestly
Good on Gal Gadot
Like enormous respect
For my Israeli queen
And just so
Fucking crazy
She's taking so much flack
A brawl broke out At the Museum of Tolerance You really couldn't Write this stuff I have enormous respect for my Israeli queen. And just so fucking crazy. And she's taking so much flack. A brawl broke out at the Museum of Tolerance.
You really couldn't write this stuff.
I have enormous respect.
I think that there are a few celebrities who are like taking,
Amy Schumer's one of them,
taking so much shit for just like being proud Jews and supporters of Israel
and, you know, demanding the hostages come home.
And I imagine that's extraordinarily difficult.
So I stand with them at this time.
Yeah.
No, but once you've seen what happened,
and if you are a Jew, and especially for Gaal as an Israeli,
nothing else matters.
Yeah, if you're just a human being.
As it should be.
Yeah.
So that was our show.
Nice, long, one-hour show.
Oh, wow.
Tomorrow, you're still in New York, right?
Yeah, we'll finish the show the week together.
