Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Monday- Eh, like the- You know? Yes, but it's a necessary step on our way to summer-la. It's a necessary step on our way to summer-la. Even thinking small picture, it's our necessary step on the way to the latter half of the week, on the way to the weekend. Yeah, you know, you have to start somewhere, and Monday's a really good place to

start, you know? Romeo's in studio, Jax and Clurr are back in their remote setup. Yeah, that's right, I have fled the southern border, and I'm back, back, back in the New York groove. How's Romeo? What brings him to the studio today? He just got that work bug? He was just like mulling around the house looking bored. And you know, there came a time in Theo's life where he came to work with me every single day. And I thought maybe, let's see how it goes. When I podcasted on Friday with Romeo in your studio, your physical studio is so small. There's nowhere he can go or hide or pee or poop that I can't see this place we've got nooks crannies a kitchen tables like we've got a lot going on here but

more than a pee and a poop Romeo is a chewer yeah he could chew through these cords a cord is extra chewy for a row yeah that's a problem no and this place like I actually been meaning to go through some of the equipment we have lying around because a lot of it's old. Like, we've got curds for days. Yeah. Well, curds is cards. Cords. Curdy cords.

Cord over streets. Oh, my God. Thank you. Like, cord over street walked so Glenn Powell could run. You know what? I actually completely agree. And I love that you brought that up. And I think that the two of them are really good friends. And I think that they would agree with that too. You know? Were they in something together? Why do

I associate them as each other? Because they're like best friends. I don't know if they were in anything together. I just like have an association. Well, you better associate, girl. The Korn and Glenn Association. I have an association of misery with days like today. Like it's just a Monday. I had such a fabulous week at your house. I miss you. I miss the food.

I miss the family. I'm happy to be home, of course. There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed. But it's not the same no it's not but I hope you're holding on to the hope that we'll be together again soon like now I just have to do like some admin start packing like really getting excited for the summer and at least that's on the horizon and last week was not even in the plan so we just have to be thankful for the time that we did have like smile because it happened don't cry because it's over that's just so not who I am I know I know a lot but it doesn't stop me from trying I wanted to ask you a question okay good thing we have an hour-long podcast to talk about

whatever we want Jackie do you know who Chapel Roan is? No. Okay I just was like so curious if you knew who that was she's like a rising singer um she's having a really big moment like on the talk but I wasn't sure if it had penetrated beyond the talk. Chapel Roan? Like R-O-N-E? R-O-A-N. Okay what kind of singer? Well she's the current opener for Olivia Rodrigo. And she she's like a singer. I don't know I actually don't know much about her. I just like I know this H-O-T-T-O-G-O. Like I know that little dance. But I only remark on it because this weekend was Governor's ball who knew, and she was one of the performers. And so was Sabrina Carpenter.

And I was just like laughing because it's literally like not to keep pitting women against women, but like between Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift, like beefing so hard. Now their openers are kind of like both having a moment at the same time. And I think a lot of people like for me, I only heard about Chapel Roan when she opened for Olivia Rodrigo. Like that was like a, like a, an introduction to her for me. Um, and like for Sabrina Carpenter, I think a lot of people found out about Sabrina Carpenter because she opened for Taylor Swift.

So I was just giggling about the never-ending feud in my mind and also in reality. We can pretend. That's so interesting because to me the feud is between Olivia and Sabrina. I don't think of Olivia and Taylor's feud as the number one feud in Olivia's life. I do. You might be right, but I'm like, you know, I'm still here. I'm still at Skin, streaming Skin by Sabrina Carpenter. We know.

We literally know. Actually, I think we need to start a list for you. Of things that... Like your favorite stories. Or like favorite things that you like to remind people about. And one of them is that you always liked skin, like before Sabrina had a moment. I always liked Sabrina. Yeah, but specifically like the bop that was.

Yeah, no, and I feel like everyone just dismissed skin because it could never be driver's license. No, like you need to add this. But they weren't listening. Yeah. No, you need to add it. You need to. I can't self-list oh really but you're the keeper of the list I know but it's on you to hold me accountable and every time you like

okay it's gonna have to stay up here oh so it's gone I can't make a list physically that's not who I am forgotten that isn't who I am okay I know I can't keep lists about myself. I just, I feel like that's too self-involved. Okay, well then we won't. Bye-bye. So I just really wanted to know if Jackie knew who Chapel Roan was. Nope, never heard of her. Her? Yes.

Never heard. In the middle of the night. Doesn't mean, you know, doesn't mean anything. Maybe I'll hear about her soon. Maybe. And I'll be glad that I did. Maybe like one of her fan accounts will start an Instagram Reels account. Perhaps.

Or maybe like Spotify will decide to platform this artist or that I, you know, based on the things I like, including Skin by Sabrina Carpenter, that I would like Chapel Roan. Check it out. It's kind of on Spotify to do what they do. It's so true. I mean, you put a lot of faith. And surface new artists for me. In that algorithm.

Yeah. to do what they do. It's so true. I mean, you put a lot of faith in that algorithm. Yeah, it's kept me going through the years. Like, I am where I am in my music knowledge because of Spotify, and I like the music that I listen to. Except I actually think, as we've stated, it's dropping off because I have nothing to listen to. No, well, I listen to... And what's so crazy, here's what's so crazy. Oh, my God, what?

Here's what's so sick. How many years in a row has Luke Combs been my number one artist on Spotify? Like since he was born. Any year he puts out an album, he's my number one. I think Spotify can understand like he's my favorite artist. So on Friday I go to my release radar playlist, that's all the new songs curated for me,

and his song wasn't number one. Which one was? I think like, no no shade no hate but like Keith Urban or something like I've never ran to Keith Urban's new music no I I don't think that I have either and I think it's a conspiracy you think the industry is actively working against Luke Holmes yeah Luke Holmes was number three so here are the industry plans that Spotify is paying off. One, Keith Urban with Carly Scott Collins. They wrote a song. And two, Becky G, Luis Sanz.

I do love Becky G, but that's not... No, nobody on the planet has a more eclectic taste in music than Becky G and Luke Holmes. You can't put me in a box. No, you truly cannot. Yeah. Okay Luke Combs. Okay. You can't put me in a box. No, you truly cannot. Yeah. Okay, Latin Queen. It's giving Jacqueline. It's giving Tostada.

I have to say, I did my book signing yesterday. Oh, yeah. At Books and Books, and it was such a swirly affair. Like, it was just a gorgeous Sunday. The bookstore, it's a historic, it's a landmark building. It was a really beautiful venue and the toasters just were out and about everyone in their sunday scene was like just looking so gorgeous and swirly and we really had a nice time but it was very much a tostada affair yeah and all

of course all the tostadas made themselves known like sent their love to claudia she's but they told me they oh yeah there was major cheese may going on cheese may. But they told me, oh yeah, there was major cheesemay going on. Cheesemay going on. They told me that I was looking muy fina. What, skinny?

Oh, I wish. No, like fine and elegant. Honestly, better. Say it again? Yeah.

Fina. F-I-N-A. Like fine, but it means like elegant and fina. Okay, that's a good one.

That's a really good you're out there being a chismosa I'm being Fina I'm definitely out there being a chismosa that's for sure that's for darn sure also I'm sure you saw my story someone I did me a homemade sourdough oh no I thought you were gonna say somebody brought you a sweater that said chismosa on it and I said that's mine right yeah it's a t-shirt. You're welcome to have it. So cute. Well, actually, I packed a box of things that I needed to shit myself from your house. So if you'll just throw it in there. And someone also gave me something else for you.

I'll put it in the box. Put it in the box. Well, we're not going to put you in a box. Hells no. Oh, I continue my journey of watching movies based on real events. Zero Dark Thirty. I watched Zero Dark Thirty and Erin Brockovich. I'd never seen Erin Brockovich, isn't that weird? Me neither.

And I don't know if maybe I'm desensitized because I just watched Chernobyl. I just felt like something crazy was gonna happen. Like the level, it wasn't enough corruption to be made a movie of, considering what you just watched? No, and by the way, it was so crazy. They were literally poisoning this entire town of people.

They all had, everyone in this town was just sick, and they just, it was a part of life. literally poisoning this entire town of people. Like, they all had, like, everyone in this town was just, like, sick. And they just, like, it was a part of life. Like, oh, yeah, she's got a tumor. Like, everyone just has cancer. And it turned out that, like, the local plant, where a lot of the people in the town worked, was poisoning all these people in the water. So, like, their swimming pools, their baths, showers, drinking water, everything. I don't know.

I guess, like, at the time, maybe it was crazy. But I'm so used to bureaucracy. I was just like, okay. Classic bureaucracy. Like what do you expect? That's really sad. No, it's so pathetic. I also obviously wanted to watch it for the Tom Girardi of it all.

Who played Tom? Okay, I wasn't like 100% sure which character was supposed to be Tom. It wasn't a Tom Girardi biopic? No, and there was no, and everybody in the movie, like, had their regular names. Like, Aaron Brockovich's real name was Aaron Brockovich, this lawyer's name was, like, and nobody had the name Tom. They said he was, like, a different lawyer brought in,

when I researched, to help on the case, which there was a character at the end of the movie who was, like, a different lawyer that they brought. I seriously, like, I don't know who was Tom Girardi. That's disappointing, especially, like, I know you were watching the whole thing, like, to lawyer that they run. I seriously like I don't know who was Tom Girardi. That's disappointing. Especially like I know you were watching the whole thing like to get to Tom and then he's not even there.

Yeah, no, and I'm like literally telling Ben all these fun facts that I know. Well, I'm glad you now know the story of Aaron Brockovich. That feels pertinent to the situation. It does. And like Julia Roberts

like crushed it. But then I watched Zero Dark Thirty, which I have a lot of thoughts on. I know I'm like 100 years late because September 11th was 2001. We killed Osama in like 2008 and it's 2024. Nevertheless. I think it was like 2011 or 12.

Whatever. Oh yeah, Obama was president. Nevertheless, I will recap my thoughts on the Osama killing. Do you remember where you were? I'll recap my thoughts. Where was I? That's a good question. That's like a moment you remember where you were.

I was in the library at college. And it's like a very open library. Like the fifth floor can see down to like the third floor. And it was like probably, I think it was Sunday night. So everyone was in library studying. And like someone shouted out. No one would ever shout in the library. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's how big of a deal it was. Like everyone was cheering. What did they say? I don't remember. I don't remember like hearing the person who shouted. I just got the, they got Osama bin Laden, and then everyone was cheering. Maybe there was an anthem sung, but maybe that's just how I-

Oh, I'm chilled. No, no, no, that might be me- Remembering it that way. Remembering it with rose-colored glasses, but if you were there, let me know. Did we sing the anthem? I feel like we should have. I feel like you definitely didn't. I feel like we did. I don't remember where I was, which is enormously disappointing, but let me tell you this. First of

all, I had so many thoughts. Me and Ben were like, first of all, the movie is two and a half hours, and the last 45 minutes are like an Oscar-winning movie, and the first hour and a half are like the most boring piece of shit you've ever seen in your life. But I guess like we needed to lay the land like Abu Abbas. Like how do we know? Like I get it. Okay. And it's like a 10 year manhunt. So it didn't just happen in 45 minutes. And that's why Jessica Chastain was like nutty at the end of the movie because like she had been through a lot.

So here are my thoughts. My thoughts are so layered. Me and Ben kept saying like is there going to be an actor? Like is Osama going to be in the movie? Like is there an actor who got like cast as Osama like and so we were just like we're kind of waiting till they got him to see like was it just gonna be like the end of the movie boom you know like. Like Osama from the back or like does Osama have personality? Yeah. Do we get Osama's POV? I'm a serving face in the film. And so he doesn't really, like they shoot him down, you don't really see.

And then they like wrap him in a body bag and they're shooting him. Like basically like there's a GoPro like on his toe and you just see like his nose. And I said to him, I'm like, imagine this actor comes home and tells him, mom, I got booked for a big Oscar winning movie and I'm playing the star because it's a movie about Osama bin Laden and I am Osama and literally you just see his nose like I was cracking up so hard so you don't really which I think was the right thing to do you know very tasteful when it came to Osama now I noticed so many crazy things so obviously like terrorism is you know a huge theme in the movie and it's also

a huge theme in the daily fabric of our lives here. And, you know, over the weekend, this is like the craziest thing that I noticed from the movie. Over the weekend, obviously fabulous news coming out of Israel. Israel did an operation, secret, you know, whatever. They got four of their hostages back. Boom. Alive. Amazing. Amazing. Which we were going to talk about,

but I guess this colors your viewing of Zero Dark Thirty. And, of course, you know, one of the leading stories from this entire war was this beautiful young girl, Noah, that video of her on the back of the motorcycle being taken into Gaza by terrorists, like went viral. It was chilling. She's like this beautiful young girl. Her mother is dying of cancer. We haven't heard, whatever.

She was one of the people who gets rescued. Rescued. And it comes out yesterday. She's like, you know, now telling her story. She was held in the home, not of like, you know, what you think, like a classic terrorist, no, like a quote unquote civilian. He's a journalist and he writes for Al Jazeera. Like he's been covering the war while having a hostage legit locked up in his basement. Who's like, okay. In the movie, they are hunting down one of Osama's lead courier, they were calling him. Like, if anybody needed to get a message to Osama, they would go to this guy. And when Jessica Chastain is, like, looking for his house, they find it.

And they're like, why do you think he lived here? And he says, because he needs to be close to the Al Jazeera office. So it's like Al Jazeera constantly, like, being part of terrorism. Enmeshed in terrorism. Yeah. There's kind of of like a track record I think they have got a problem a hundred percent and I was like oh my god because I had just read Noah's story on Twitter and I was like oh okay I'm sensing a theme yeah I'm sensing a theme so overall piece overall I would say the movie like it really wasn't good but once Chris Pratt's character and like his band of you know army men once they enter the film two hours in it's amazing up until that point it's so dreadful it's so gray and like watching people get tortured seriously

like I could and even though these are like the worst human beings on the planet like they're terrorists who killed 3,000 people on 9-11 like I still I can't watch it okay I mean yeah I don't know what you expected it's like a war movie it's not gonna be like a swirly affair and no I wasn't expecting a swirly affair by any means I was expecting I don't know just like maybe like like more entertaining I don't know it is still a movie okay well. Well, people really liked it. I liked it when I saw it. And overall, it's a good flick. Oh, and then my biggest criticism

is that at the end of the movie, when the screen turns black, it rolls straight to the credits. No, you know, black and white text about real life facts, side-by-side photos of, you know, Jessica Chastain's character and the woman she played.

Like, if you're making a film based on real events, and at the end, you don't have like a sum up of real life affairs it's gonna be a zero for me well what's the sum up and also it wasn't that long after that it happened like when you get something from decades ago there's more context but like it was a few years later like Osama's dead I don't even think they could tell you who the real-life woman is, right? She's probably low-key. Maybe we should have waited. Was there more information you were looking for? I don't know, but those, like, end-screen fun facts, like, always color the story for me.

For sure. But I feel like now they could add more end-screen facts, but they'd be, like, incredibly depressing, like, about what happened in Afghanistan. Yeah, yeah. more end screen facts but they'd be like incredibly depressing like about what happened in Afghanistan yeah yeah so just turn on the news for the story that's just like a hard and fast rule for me you know got it that's the best part of any real life story well I'm glad you're continuing on your journey of watching meaningful content I am as well I started the valley again so meaningful so meaningful I'm on episode three and I'm in it like I definitely when well I started the valley again so meaningful so meaningful I'm on episode three and I'm in it like I definitely when I was watching the first episode I was remembering why I stopped because it was just like too corny and too try hard of like people

wanting to be on reality tv and like wanting their show to be good so like doing really crazy dumb stuff but I'm I'm past that hump now and I I'm I'm liking some characters I'm strongly disliking some characters like I'm having feelings the next episodes like look really good so I'm involved and I'm excited about okay I also caught up on Real Housewives of New Jersey um of course I didn't watch last night's episode because like why would I ever be on top of things but this the news about the reunion like really actually made me want to see what was going on and I can see like there is even there they haven't even had one event where everybody shows up there are so many beefs like obviously you think Melissa and Teresa they're

just ignoring each other it's not even that big of a deal other beefs where people like seriously will not show up to film with one another the whole group has not been in the same room except maybe the uh baseball game but that was like such a big affair it wasn't like a seated dinner game is like my christmas the baseball game is so funny one year because it's open to the public it's just like to me the best thing i've ever seen on bravo is that baseball game it's always first of all it's such a great cause raising money for the hospital too it's so funny because everybody gets really, really involved. Like, the guys, obviously, but then the girls. It's hilarious because, like, they don't know how to play.

And then there's always, like, drama there, too. Yeah. It's really, like, a fabulous installment in the series. Like, good on Dolores. Good on Dolores. Good on Maimonides. And good on the producers for always making sure, like, we get it. We need our baseball game fit.

It's so funny. I remember, like like cackling at the last one like this one wasn't as funny because seriously like nobody will talk to each other oh but but and I'm really I'm coming around saying there's no what in baseball crying there you go and I like I don't even want to share my New Jersey thoughts because I feel like they're so unpopular but like seriously I'm obsessed with Rachel Fuda she and I know I think like everyone hates her I think she is first of all I just found out she's 32 she's so brave like she just got into it with Teresa she called her like an old smelly hag like she really went for it and like everyone's so afraid of Teresa I have to say I know it's Monday my answer will not change by Friday the weenie of the week the weeniest to

ever weenie of every week that ever existed is Jackie Goldschneider and she's being called out on it so hard and I'm so glad like Danielle is like am I living in an all there was a time where seriously you two would have actually stabbed each other like if we had given you a knife Like Danielle is like, am I living in an all, there was a time where seriously, you two would have actually stabbed each other. Like if we had given you a knife, you would have stabbed. And now Jackie's so fucking far up Teresa's ass. Oh my gosh. It's so losery because say what you want about Jackie,

the way she came in and like immediately didn't like Teresa and like stood on that and was principled and like it was unpopular and it alienated her from a lot of people. Like she's so desperate to be a full-time cast member again like the desperation radiates through the screen her being like so want to be friends with Teresa like seriously I've never seen a grown woman act like such a loser in my life wow okay I'm going to watch once I'm caught up with the valley yeah I watch the valley now. You're just like a millennial.

It is very millennial. And it's funny. And there is so much like baby stuff, kid stuff. It's like, yeah. It was a show that was like way needed to get made because there's really nothing else like it of people in this stage of their lives. When you're all caught up, you should now watch Kristen Doty on the Good Guys podcast. She was on last week, like starting major drama. Her and Lala like fucking hate each other yeah I'll watch that but like it's not looking good for me and

as a fan of Kristen like I don't think I'm a fan of Kristen interesting show but I feel like she's one of those people who like does things for the show she's like Jax where it's like maybe in real life like would love her and we've met her and she's so nice. And I'm sure like would be great lunch date. And I feel that way about Jax. But then he does things on the show and I'm like, you're not my fave on the show. That's for sure. Yeah, she definitely is like an on-air producer.

Like she's moving things around, making things work. Yeah, same with Jax. And I respect it. And like it's their job as like, as the people who are like the temples for the show to make sure the show has a full season. Yeah. But I don't like it.

Yeah. And it makes me sympathize with other people. Yeah. But I also think the way people felt at the beginning of the season, like really turns by the end. Oh. That's what I was hearing, especially as a protein.

No spoilers. I don't even know how people felt. Okay. So I'm going in like totally blind. I still don't even know what happened on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City with that girl and the big moment. Like that's how much I put blinders on. I don't even know.

You don't know receipts, timeline? No, no, I'm just saying the line. Receipts, timeline. No. That's really crazy. Jackie's also never seen a single video of the Heiress tour. No, I've seen like some videos, but not like footage. I've seen minute-long clips at a time. I saw she performed Crazier. Let's talk about that. Surprise song.

You lift my feet off the ground. Spin me around. You make me crazier crazier. Except she sang it at a key like all the way down. Yeah so that is an original song Taylor Swift wrote like before she was famous. She was like a guest star in the Hannah Montana movie on Disney Channel and she wrote a song for the movie soundtrack and she performed it in the movie. It's seriously one of her best songs. I don't know if it's on any of her albums it's not but when she performed it as a surprise song I think a lot of people thought oh maybe now it's a contender to be like a secret song or just a song added to debut, especially because when Taylor sang that song, all the wristbands in the arena lit up green,

which is like the color people associate for debut. Okay. Yeah. Well, that would be cool. Yeah. I didn't know that. I just enjoyed the moment for what it was. Yeah. Which was amazing. I love that song that. I just enjoyed the moment for what it was. Yeah, which was amazing. I love that song. And speaking of amazing moments this weekend, before we get into the stories, four hostages were rescued on Saturday in Israel, and it is just, it was the most amazing news.

It was the most amazing news. The operation was, like, so incredible, against all odds. Really something that they would make a movie out of but they won't because like they're all Jew haters but it's just amazing. Like seriously when I saw the news I was in the bed like Saturday was the best day of my life. Like you could not bring me down on Saturday. I was so happy. One because Noah I think it's just a story like a lot of you know our listeners and just like you know she's our age she's a girl like she's at a music festival it just it felt so real and so relatable and it was also just an amazing story because the other three hostages were um soldiers in the IDF and like they were never a part of any hostage deal because Hamas would never give back soldiers

like to they're more valuable prisoners of war than civilians. But when they were kidnapped, they were civilians at a music festival, but there had been soldiers in their lives. Right. So, like, you, and they were just, like, able-bodied men. Yeah. And those people are never, they're always last on the list. And we can't even get, you know, the first round of the hostage negotiations off the ground, let alone, like, the last round, which would be then.

Now, in a shock to nobody, like all the details that are coming out about where they were held and who they were held by, doctors, civilians, quote unquote journalists who work for Al Jazeera. Innocent civilians who hold hostages in their home and torture them. So, yeah, in a densely civilian populated area where, like, you know, organizations like Save the Children and UNICEF and UNRWA all operate out of that town. And it was no secret that these hostages were held there. So just, you know, be extremely mindful what Instagram campaigns you donate to because you just never know. But you do know if you just pay a little bit of attention and do things like instead of making yourself feel good, like you donated and help someone like when you're actually having the opposite effect. Yeah. So Noah's home. Those three delicious Jewish boys are home.

Hashem is good. God bless the IDF. Like obsessed. Best news ever. Everybody can eat my ass. Mark Ruffuffalo I just know that Mark Ruffalo I just know that Mark Ruffalo saw four Jewish young lives saved and his weekend was ruined and so if my weekend was already off to like a great start with that news knowing Mark Ruffalo was crying like I can't really and his Instagram statement was just so he's like it's great that

they're back but imagine if a ceasefire. Yeah, well, imagine if I had Diet Coke coming out of my pussy. Like, things, like, we could all imagine fake things. Like, we would love ceasefire hostages back. Wait, why is he saying that? Who are you talking to? Wait, who the fuck are you talking to? Are you talking to Sinwar?

Because otherwise it makes no fucking sense. I really, seriously, that curly headed fuck. Hey. It's so funny. I literally hate you so fucking much. You better hope that I never run into you. Because I'm going to throw your ass on the ground. It's so funny. Like who you like just hate more than anyone yeah who I hate so much like

everyone like has their persons yeah because not just what like we like that no like Mark Ruffalo isn't responsible but to me he is no but he's like your number one it's just funny and now not to keep talking about Mark Ruffalo but I have like a little bit of a conspiracy theory when it comes to Mark Ruffalo if I were to ask you you know what you how many followers you think Mark Ruffalo has on Instagram how many would you say I feel like because of how you prefaced it it's going to be way more than I would say but like a couple million max eight to ten twenty now something is not adding up this old ugly on the inside ugly kind of like you know past his prime actor and at his prime instagram wasn't a thing no seriously i'm really spiraling it doesn't't make sense. Yeah. Bot farm. It's giving bot farm

and we know that so much of the pro-Hamas movement like is on social media is powered by bot farms and I think Mark Ruffalo is a part of it. Like allegedly. Mark Ruffalo has a bot farm.

E-I-E-I-O. Oh. Mark. Oh Mark. Marky Mark. It always comes back to Mark Ruffalo but it also always comes back to the Fast Five stories and now I feel as though we can get into them. We just give Romeo this bone. Come here gorgeous. That's a big bone for a little row. It's supposed to keep him busy the whole podcast so I can do my job properly. And so that he doesn't chew the cord over streets who reminds

Head to manscaped.com. Thank you, La. You're welcome, Ja. First story, Sophia Richie threw an epic garden party celebrating her baby girl Eloise's birth. So Sophia Richie threw an extravagant garden party for her baby girl three weeks after giving birth. The model posted photos from the epic backyard bash

via her Instagram stories on Sunday after celebrating Eloise with her loved ones. She gave glimpses of the event's colorful landscape from Dior dishes to floral centerpieces and the guests enjoyed pink sweatshirts that said Eloise like in the font of Eloise at the plaza. They had cocktails including the pump and dump and mama's juice and party games such as don't say baby so it very much looks like a baby shower but it was post baby yeah I think a lot of people are confused about that but um her and her husband are like pretty Jewish and in Judaism like baby showers before babies are born are like considered bad luck you don't really do that yeah so that's

why I like this take on it though I've not seen someone do this instead and I think it's such a cute idea. No and it's so elegant like I'm pretty sure Dior was like through the party for her because there was Dior everywhere. And that way you could like still get all your gifts even though you can still get gifts even without a baby shower but I kind of love this like genius genius genius jewess. Genius jewess love this woman. Like no one's trying, but they could never make me hate her. Yeah. I agree. I think this was everything she does is she's just also at a point in her career where like like Hailey Bieber, you know, and Hailey Bieber, everything she does is cool.

But like even if she just like farted, they'd be like, oh my God, that's like the coolest sound I've ever heard in my life. Yeah. Like Justin. And Sophia Richie's at the place now where everything she does is like becoming a trend she's a real tastemaker but it just so happens that everything she does is so fucking classy like she's just a real nice broad yeah she classy broad and I do think she's a really good role model for this generation she's very Gen Z with her TikTok and here she is just like a nice

girl who dresses nice like I think I think it's good it's good. It's good. She's a good kid. Yeah, I think so too. And I love that Elliot Grange. You love what? That Elliot Grange, handsome fella. A lot of people say he looks like my husband. You know, Jewish king, obsessed. Yeah, no, it's really cute. So mazel. And every glimpse into their life is just like thank you thank you for sharing truly yeah and they do share a good amount so very sweet are you ready for our next story which is some sports news oh okay it's quite shocking what i'm sure you've seen it it's not shocking but it's confusing cait confusing. Caitlin Clark, yeah. Caitlin Clark is not going to be on the 2024 Olympics women's basketball team, and now she's responding to the snub by being just such a classy queen

and better than everyone, but I'm so confused. So am I, and I went to go find an answer, and I wasn't able to find one. Can someone explain why they would leave her off? Right. Don't you want to win? She's like the greatest thing to happen to women's basketball in forever yeah and she's like better than everyone by a mile right can I say something crazy like and maybe I know Brittany Griner's on the team and the Olympics are in where Paris the way if I was Brittany Griner like I would never leave the

country again like I would be so fucking scarred no i seriously i would be afraid to like travel regionally i can't believe britney grinder is leaving the country like for that seriously that were me and but i just and i know britney grinder a lot and like a lot of other other wmba players because they make so little money here in america on the wma off season and that's why she was in russia like you go play and you make literally five times as much in one season in like ist um and I wonder if she's gonna do that like seriously the way I would burn my passport so I could like I would never leave the country it's really so true um but she will be on the team and so Caitlin Clark was asked about not being on the team she said she has no ill feelings she said she has no disappointment about not making Team USA. I'm quote, I'm excited for the girls that are on the team.

I know it's the most competitive team in the world and I know it could have gone either way, me being on the team or me not being on the team. I'm going to be rooting them on to win gold. I was a kid that grew up watching the Olympics, so it'll be fun to watch them. Honestly, no disappointment. It just gives me something to work for. It's a dream. Hopefully one day I can be there. I think it's just a little more motivation you remember that hopefully when four years comes back around I can be there also Team USA has taken home the gold every four years since 1996 so I think oh maybe they like don't need her well I think in this category like they'll they'll slay and I think also same for men's basketball like that's just yeah it's our thing it's our thing I

think other countries like don't prioritize basketball it's just like if there was football like yeah win yeah um but it's confusing because the way I see it as like a total third party like with no particular interest in the matter it's like she's the greatest basketball player like literally dribbling circles around everyone on the court like it's not even a fair fight she's like on another level no and also I'm on WNBA talk so I'm actually doing my part in just engaging like I I know a lot of what goes on and like the other players in the league like they like hate her and she gets like shoved and she gets like messed with and she puts up with a lot and she's always sort of this graceful queen and even this response which I'm sure you know when she found out she was angry but you know publicly facing yeah you

have to say the right thing she's really very classy yeah only three of the players who are reportedly on the team because like the team leaked they haven't even officially announced it but it's the team because they did call her and say, she said they called everyone who was a contender and let them know that they didn't make it, which she was grateful for. But only three of the players are new to the Olympics. Everyone else has played the Olympics before.

But I also feel like, okay, maybe, is she the undisputed best player in the league or not maybe she's like just the best rookie ever fine right because they keep comparing her and like like having her like stats being put up against Angel Reese who is also a rookie they both just stopped playing college basketball and now this is their first year declaring for the WNBA so what about everybody else in the league like for the last 100 Right. So maybe she's just like the greatest rookie right now. But I also think having her on the team would have just spurned so much excitement

for women's basketball at the Olympics. But then I saw something, I don't know what I was reading, someone's opinion that like, if she did make the team, she wouldn't have gotten a lot of playing time and that would have made her fans upset. But like, this is making her fans upset.

I don't, I just, I like when things make sense and to me this is you know equaling sock it's equaling sock like we're all talking about women's basketball for the first time seriously since its inception we're all excited about it there's commercials brand deals and it's because of one person seriously like it all boils down to Caitlin Clark and now we want to go show off our skills for what women's basketball is doing in America against other countries and and that girl you know should be there now unless I'm totally misunderstanding which is entirely possible and I would love if somebody could explain but to me something isn't adding up yeah no there's an element missing from the equation maybe someone could weigh in maybe just something we don't know about like maybe the team that's playing like is it like the most amazing team playing together. It's just kind of now dawning

on me that the summer Olympics are like what a month away and you and I are going to be together like the whole summer and like the Olympics are just going to be on 24-7 in our house. Yeah. That's so exciting. It is. I fucking love the Olympics, you know. Red, white, and blue. God bless America.

Yeah. But like no shade to anyone. But like don't you feel like they've been a little. Quiet. Like lackluster in recent years for whatever reason the olympics yeah no the one two years ago where was the last winter olympics like we were so excited about and then we never watched or spoke about it winter in china that was a weird olympics okay well of course there was sometimes the geopolitical landscape can overshadow that was a weird Olympics that was a weird Olympics because like a lot of people were boycotting and then they're like all these concentration camps in China like

that was weird for sure it was weird what where was the last summer Olympics Sochi I'd like always referencing Sochi. That was a winter. Also China. Also China. The last summer was Beijing. Or was that winter? Beijing, right, right, right. So they had summer and winter. I'm saying, so it was China, China, and then Sochi is Russia.

It's been weird. It's been weird. Thankfully, France. Paris, the city of love, even though they're not allowed to get it on in the Olympic Village. of love even though they're not allowed to get it on in the Olympic village yeah feels like it can be the sort of neutral territory where hopefully you know the geopolitical landscape will not overshadow you know the thousands of athletes who've worked their life for this moment yeah that is always weird when like wars and stuff like have implications on the Olympics like that's that famous you know hockey game right with the Russians yeah implications on the Olympics. Like that's that famous, you know, hockey game, right?

With the Russians. Yeah, Miracle on the Ice on 34th Street. No, it was called like, it was called the Red Army or something. Yeah, no, is that like Placid? But there's a movie about it. I think it's called Miracle on the Ice. Oh, I have to watch that. Wait, yeah, you do.

Hold on. Miracle movie. I just need to. Yeah, there's a hockey player. The college coach is hired to helm the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic hockey team. He brings a unique and brash style to the ice. After assembling a team of hot-headed college stars who are humiliated in an early match, where's Russia?

Oh, oh, Brooks unites his squad against a common foe, the heavily favored Soviet team. As the U..s squad tries to overcome insurmountable odds and win the gold medal the team becomes a microcosm for american patriotism during the cold war yeah it's getting microcosm brought that up i'm so glad you brought that up because it reminded me something i wanted to say about um chernobyl chernobyl was like the character of mr gorbachev and to be honest I have no fucking idea who that is, but I know, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall. Yeah, it wasn't really said like so swirly like that. It was more like a tear down that wall.

It was more dire. It was just like, it wasn't a suggestion. It wasn't like, it wasn't, hey, Mr. Gorbachev, would you do me a favor and tear down that wall? It wasn't a suggestion. Well,achev, would you do me a favor? How y'all doing? Tear down that wall. It wasn't a suggestion. Well, it did sort of remind me, because I feel like I'm really invested in learning about history these days in terms of what I read and what I watch.

But there's just sort of a blind spot for me when it comes to Cold War, like wars after World War II, like Cold War Vietnam, question mark. Mm-hmm. I really don't know much. So I think that's totally fair. I definitely know less about that area too because it's a longer period of time and less happened in a hot sense. That's why it was so cold.

But there's common themes of the two communism let me ask you another question cold war vietnam separate vietnam is not so it's part of the umbrella of like communism that's what they're fighting but vietnam was a hot war because there was fighting the cold war there was no actual fighting it was just like cold cold. Drama. It was like cold energy, you know? Like we're cold towards each other. It was a war of bad vibes. It was a war of bad vibes, but it was cold in the sense, one, because we don't like each other and we're being cold,

but because it wasn't hot. There was no battles. Got it. You know? Like World War II was a very hot war. And Soviet Union and USSR yeah same thing yeah and when you think of ussr what do you think of i'm back in the ussr yes best movie ever heartbreakers i feel like vomiting sigourney weaver's finest work right soviet union is ussr that's like saying united states is

america right that's what I was like thinking I just wanted to make sure or maybe Soviet Union is like Russia's name in the USSR you know what I mean like you have to their estate in the country because USSR had other states in their sphere yeah yeah yeah yeah um okay but quickly back to the Olympics oh Caitlin Clark oh all's that to say I'm super excited about the Olympics. I'm getting excited, too. This is making me excited. And I think we deserve, like, a busing Olympics.

I think the athletes deserve it. What I thought you were going to say is I feel like they're not doing, and by they, I mean, like, the country. Like, they're not doing a good job of, like, getting us excited. Like, who's even going? Do we know? Well, no, because all of the trials and stuff are happening now. Like, they're competing for those spots. But I do feel like they've been doing commercials for the olympics

for so long and I think they started a little too early oh by the way they started doing commercials for the olympics like three years ago people were like doing paid instagram posts for at nbc olympics and now it's like actually happening and they're not there's no buses I'm still not taking it seriously because I'm like oh I keep seeing this Like when I'm watching something on Peacock, they're going about the Olympics. And I just I've already tuned it out, unfortunately. But nevertheless, like super excited and excited to see like who the breakout star is. You know, there's always a of course we know Simone Biles like the usuals, but there's always like a young hot thing from some random sport that like everybody becomes obsessed

with and then become like a celebrity. Love it. We could always use new celebrities. We could. Are you ready for our next story? It's a follow up to last week talking about Jen and Ben. Their house pictures went online. Yeah, yeah.

And now the marital home is up for sale. Yeah. So just kind of closing the loop on that. Yeah, to close. I feel like it's important that we close the loop and so I can say, like, yeah, this is bad. So you're sort of laying down your arms. I'm no longer fighting against the tide

and I'm at a place of acceptance if true, yeah. Yeah, it's, ooh, ooh, excuse me, oh my God. It's not looking good. Yeah, do you want to tell everyone what Oh my God. It's not looking good. Yeah. Do you want to tell everyone what just happened to you? I yawned. Is that a big deal? Like for people listening.

It sounded like you saw, you know, classic turdy. Oh, oh. Someone walked in on you. It sounds like I saw a mouse. No, I was just yawning, which is so crazy because I think I got a really good sleep score. Let me just like triple check. I haven't checked mine either. How's life with the aura going 92 wow I slept nine and a half hours that's like a lot of hours

that's ideal yeah let's see how I did oh I need to charge my aura oh so do I I'm only at 40 percent and I'm about halfway to my activity goal for the morning already wow oh my sleep is 83 but my readiness is high uh this is good seven hours 53 minutes not the greatest um I just was sent this sort of breaking news um 28 sodas juices and other drinks that have been recalled by the fda as of today do you you want to send it to me yeah do you want to or do you want to choose it as a story or no uh like we could just slip it in right now jen and ben put their home on for sale now third story is also soda how about i do it ready yeah so the recalled drinks include a pain relieving tea called himalayan pain relief

tea i don't think anybody cares um martinelli's apple juice what for because it contained arsenic a toxic metal that may increase the risk of bladder and skin cancer okay yeah that's not good around two million bottles of fiji water have been recalled. Fiji's always been nasty. After three types of bacteria were found in the water, in addition to the mineral manganese, which in high amounts can cause brain damage. Okay, what else?

I haven't heard of some of these, but if you guys know Charles Bikini Company, they have a pink lemonade, a yellow lemonade, a yellow lemonade X. Red 40. I've been telling you about Red 40. Everything with Red 40 has been recalled? No, everything has Red 40. Well, does it?

I think this one is just. Those were. Oh, because they didn't disclose that there's Red 40 on it. That's even worse. Sick. Yeah. At least we can avoid Red 40. Huh.

And some of the dyes in these sodas have a benzadine, which is a carcinogenic to humans and animals. That is so crazy. See, this is like, I don't know how you make your own. Like, especially if the water's polluted. Maybe someone can let me know, like maybe it's just as simple as a Brita, but like how can we ensure, like I can't make homemade water, you know? Okay, wait, ready?

There's more. Okay. Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale. I have one in my fridge, I think, but no one drank it. PepsiCo's Mug Root Beer. No. The Martinelli's and the natural waters and then wait there was a uh oh the Trader Joe's 100% juice organic carrot juice okay what's wrong with that I don't know it just is on the list Powerade in flavors fruit punch and mixed berry and mountain berry blast wait and there was also enfamil enfamil nutramigen hypoallergenic

infant formula powder just the hypoallergenic also the cresolik powdered goat milk infant formula oh my god and sammy's milk goat milk toddler formula oh ben loves this the yogi immune support tea i have to tell him oh i have yogi tea but i haven't drank it in forever not the formula yeah that's disgraceful at the bottom of the list like just sort of like snuck in five six and seven fuck it i'm switching to whole milk fuck it fuck it like and then and what's so like I'm sick I'm sick about this like I was already getting mad but now the four like this is why we make our own bread Claudia I thought you were gonna say this is why we make our own milk that too yeah oh my gosh oh that just gave me such a pit I'm really sorry not even just the formula just everything like you just can't

just anything like how come you can't make a soda without arsenic why is it so hard i'm so glad you brought that up like it's a good question why is it so hard like to not get like poisonous chemicals leached into our beverages even fiji water like it's water no my god totally and you're right by the way like and it goes back to something you were saying last week, like big food. And then you see. They're trying to kill us. No, and then you see this. Like, how do you not become a conspiracy theorist?

Like, dead ass. No, no. Even our water? To keep drinking and keep believing is the conspiracy at this point. To believe that these things are okay is you're the conspiracy theorist. To see with your eyes, you're a truth seer. You're such a truth seer. They trying to kill us they are and they really are but like how do you make your own water because I will no that's a good question um and like somebody that I know who definitely like dabbles in like a lot of theories um but like he's also really smart like I don't think he's crazy um he has

long been talking about the tap water in New York like the pipes really being problematic the type the pipes in New York are a major problem but all a lot of tap water lead and you know for like then it makes you think like how many years was like the phrase New York best tap water in the country like it was a phrase they made they popularized that phrase to get us not to think I'm telling you no and it's also okay that's the best one so like what's in the others and that's oh it's actually not the best one it's like widely known like mountain water is like the cleanest so what water like what water does Nara Smith drink

what water does ballerina farm drink honestly ballerina farm like definitely lives on a creek like she probably drinks natural water okay so maybe she filters her own yeah or boil it oh my god i literally can't i can't it's insurmountable it kind of comes back to erin brockovich it does water that was a microcosm it was just what they're doing to the country and we're all so curious why we don't feel good it's so true oh my god and why we're like depressed and sick and fat oh my god it's so true because they're trying to kill us i think we should move who's not trying to kill us so true you have to take like you have to like just take matters into your own hands make your boil your own water okay well thank you for ruining my day with that you're welcome

are you ready for our next story four number four so yeah you're ready yeah yeah how could you be ready at a time like this because we still have the fifth story but we still have ads yeah I know so we could do it after the fourth but then the show's like over yeah it's like not because we always just talk okay also no no but but wait no let's talk this through let's talk this through okay I like to spread them out and so the first chunk of ads because we did so much pre-fast five banter was at about like 35 minutes by my calculation right and it's now been 20 minutes later and industry standard is to like do an ad break every 15 minutes. And if we don't have, I just, I like to separate the two breaks as much as possible to give people as much content, but sure. Tell me how to do my job. No, tell me how to have 15 minutes of content after the last

ad. That's a little, we will. And and second of all actually perfect because the sponsor of today's show is a brand you can trust when it comes to beverages and that's Lipton tea that is a perfect segue you didn't see them on that list their green tea is a proactive wellness hack to support your overall health so they are on a mission to tell people like how two cups of their green tea a day delivers quick and simple wins on an individual health and wellness journey. So it's all because of flavonoids. Do you know what that is, Jax? No, tell me. So they have two new flavors, a signature blend green tea and the new lemon, peach, and honey ginger green tea. They're both really good. And basically drinking two cups of Lipton green tea daily is a great ally for wellness. And it's a simple way to up your everyday healthy habits. Because

those two cups of tea have the same amount of flavonoids as eating eight cups of raw kale. So flavonoids are naturally occurring bioactives that are found in tea, vegetables, and fruit. And two cups a day is an easy way to support your health. Lipton tea is just a delicious way of getting those bioactives and flavonoids into your diet. Tea is just like, it's such an elegant beverage. You know, like Sophia Richie definitely drinks tea. Makes you feel good, makes you look good. And like Jackie said, like we're all not feeling good all the time.

Like let's take steps. Obviously nothing too major. Like drinking two cups of tea, I can do that. That's very realistic. To make yourself feel better, like why wouldn't you do that? You can try Lipton, their new green tea that come in two different flavors. Again, it's the new Signature Blend Green Tea and the new Lemon, Peach, and Honey Ginger Green Tea. Try the new Lipton green teas

today and get on your two cups a day, girly swirly. Jax, are you ready? I'm not ready because I need to let you know that today's episode is also brought to you by Huggies. Huggies Little Movers is sponsoring today's episode of The Toast. Huggies knows that babies come in all shapes and sizes and their tushies do too. Huggies has more curves and outstanding active fit. Moms know that there's nothing worse than an ill-fitting diaper, especially for your active babies. Yeah, leaks just get in the way of everything. And we need diapers that are going to absorb and also going to fit all the little nooks and crannies I love Huggies because I can rely on them to keep

my baby covered while he moves around and also they have really cute designs right now we're rocking the Simba diapers and it gets everyone really excited to see that little man on the diaper the diapers are cute for the kids, great quality, and, you know, are helping with leaks, blowouts, et cetera. Huggies Little Movers. And speaking of, by the way, trusted brands, like Huggies, been around forever. We wore Huggies. Like, how nice is that?

Mm-hmm. Like, there's trust in the longevity. There is. Huggies Little Movers are curved to fit all curves, so my babies feel comfy no matter how much they're moving around. And they're moving around a lot. So they also offer 12-hour protection against leaks, which is a game changer.

We do not like a leaky vibe around here. No. Get your baby's butt into the best-fitting diaper. Huggies Little Movers, we got you, baby. So cute. Yeah, super cute. That ad just made me miss my family. We miss you too, La.

Our next story, the comedians are fighting. Who? Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jerry Seinfeld. What? So Jerry Seinfeld did an interview recently where he talked about how political correctness is harming comedy. Not really like a hot take at this point.

He said it used to be you would get home at the end of the day. Most people would say, oh, Cheers is on, MASH is on, Mary Tyler Moore is on, all the family is on. You just expected there'll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.

Well, guess what? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people. So then... Oh, look at that about offending other people. So then- Oh, look at that chair getting political. Right, so then she did an interview.

She was in an interview with the New York Times and she said it's a red flag when comedians complain about political correctness. She said- Oh, okay. Yeah, and don't forget, they were both on Seinfeld. I forgot. Don't forget, by the way,

wait, let me hear what Julia Louis- So she said, if you look back on comedy and drama both, let's say 30 years ago through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don't age well. And I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result. When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness and I understand why people might push back on it, but to me that's a red flag because it sometimes means something else. I believe being aware of

certain sensitivities is not a bad thing. I don't know how else to say it. I'm sorry it's really just crazy that she says that after Veep. Veep is the craziest show like and by the way I loved Veep and it's wild like some of the stuff that was said like the writing of that show was amazing it was very out there and very not politically correct like that's a show that seriously in 20 years like gen a or whatever is gonna be like oh my god like take it off max like you think so why what did they say oh my god it was just by the way it was really crazy it was yeah like all the like like the way, it was really crazy. It was? Yeah. Like all the, like, like the way they would reference people and like talking about like,

it was just crazy. Oh, I didn't find that. Am I wrong? That's not how I remember it. It's just like funny. Oh, I remember it as being like very direct. Like this is how people in Washington really talk. Interesting.

Yeah. Well, she also then spoke more about it because she said I want to make sure that I answered this whole idea of political correctness correctly and I can't really remember what I said so I want to go back to that and be very clear about where I stand. My feeling about all of it is that political correctness insofar as it equates to tolerance is obviously fantastic and of course I reserve the right to boo anyone who says anything that offends me while also respecting their right to free speech, right? She said the bigger problem is the consolidation of money and power.

She believes the siloing of studios and outlets as well as streamers and distributors is a threat to the creative voice. So that's what I want to say in terms of the threat to art. I feel like she was asked a question that she really doesn't have like a fully thought out, like thought on, which is fine. Like you don't have to have a harsh opinion on everything. And she just kind of like shat the bed.

Like her answer, and I don't know if it's like a direct commentary on Jerry Seinfeld because she didn't bring this up. She was asked about it. Like I think that she was asked a question that was meant to be provocative and she didn't really have an answer. And so now they're like positioning it as her and Jerry fighting. And I don't think that she was asked a question that was meant to be provocative and she didn't really have an answer. And so now they're like positioning it as her and Jerry fighting. And I don't think that they are. Yeah.

But I also think that's like, you know, a big conversation in comedy right now is like political correctness and is comedy suffering? And like, where is comedy? And so if you're interviewing a comedian, like that's probably something that you would touch on when it comes to Jerry's interview and her interview. And I think though, like it's obvious that comedy has suffered in recent years. I mean, I hear a sentiment of like, of course you want to be sensitive to sensitivities. It's like nice, but the problem is in

actuality, like where do you draw that line? And the line then keeps moving. And then it's like, well, this whole concept just isn't going to work. But also, like, I don't know if it's necessarily a question Julia Louis-Dreyfus is equipped to answer. And clearly she wasn't. Like, Jerry Seinfeld actively does stand-up comedy. He's actively commenting on the culture in a very, you know, tough climate, if you will. Julia Louis-Dreyfus doesn't do stand-up currently. They're not even talking about stand-up currently they're not even

talking about stand-up they were talking about like tv shows like what he was talking about so just it could be late night it could be sitcoms like just things aren't funny it's hard to find funny no they're not it's hard to find funny stuff to watch and even Hacks which like was funny and out there oh which I finished a lot of people said to me Claudia you have to finish the last episode of Hacks to really like understand it understand it comes full circle, you know? Did it? No. Literally, like, they didn't undo anything except Ava gets worse.

If you thought she couldn't, not only was she annoying and, like, you know, distressed millennial, now she's a fucking bitch. Yikes. Yikes. Yeah. Not the bitch. Okay. Boom. yikes bikes yeah not the bitch okay well that's that what the comedians have said today yeah so awkward awkward Seinfeld reunion even though like not really they probably don't even know the other said the other thing

no and the thing is they're both like comedians who are like super mainstream. And I feel like these days, if you like are a very sort of like someone like not an industry plan, but somebody who the industry like accepts and like you're on TV and you get these sort of mainstream opportunities, you are not funny like because you're safe. Yeah. And these comedians who sort of operate in like dirty quarters of the

internet, Andrew Schultz, Shane Gillis saying things that you know are not said on TV they're the ones having major success in comedy selling out Madison Square Garden not the people you see on TV right I'm actually surprised that Jerry Seinfeld even said what he did yeah because Jerry Seinfeld is one of those sort of approved comedians yeah yeah he's never said anything and that's why it's a kind of a weird take because Jerry Seinfeld is one of those sort of approved comedians. Yeah, yeah. He's never said anything. And that's why it's kind of a weird take.

Because Jerry's kind of always been known as this sort of safe, not clean, but family-friendly comedian. Like, he doesn't say the R word. Yeah. Yeah. No, he, so, interesting. Yeah. Actually, I don't know if I mentioned this.

I'm sad that you can't find something to watch on TV. I watched, I saw Julie Lee Dreyfuss in person the other day. Did I say that on the toast? I don't know if you did. Do you know where I saw her? At lunch? Yes, at what facility? I forget.

The mark has mice. The mark denies the Holocaust. Also, in looking at these pictures, she looks like Miss Rachel. Anyone else see it? Julia Louis? Yeah, like they have a similar elk, I just noticed. Oh, speaking of Julia Louis, for some reason, whenever I think of Julia Louis, like an actor I associate with her is James Gandolfini.

And that's because I never saw The Sopranos, but I did see that one movie, um enough said that James Gandolfini was in with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and it's literally such a good movie fun fact of Zero Dark Thirty is that James Gandolfini was in it like what Tony Soprano Tony Soprano he plays like a head CIA boss oh cool cool let me tell you that julia louis-dreyfus doesn't not look like they have like a similar energy like yeah theater that's the energy like theater kid yeah perhaps like she could like in a reach in a miss rachel biopic like jul Julia Louis. A young Julia Louis. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Fifth and final. A little more sports news,

because that's what we do here, except it's like not really sports news. But Ariana Grande enjoyed a rare date night with her boyfriend Ethan Slater at the Stanley Cup final. So this is just a hockey podcast at this point. I didn't spell it. I didn't say. I didn't say. They're just like out, you know, unabashed in public, which I didn't see I didn't they're just like out you know

unabashed in public which I think by now you know they they just are they've earned the right to also the Panthers are in the Stanley Cup Panthers proud oh my god they are you should go I know and I want to go I didn't realize the Stanley Cup had started it's really crazy how like hockey is so irrelevant no in the culture like it's not it's just either it's like hot or cold like you either are a hockey person or you're not there's no middle ground even if you're okay here there's a difference you don't ever find yourself casually watching hockey Jackie you're you don't watch basketball do you no I bet you could name five basketball players current.

Yeah, you're not. Go, go. Oh, of course. But this, I'm not saying that hockey is basketball. I couldn't name one hockey. Actually, I could because his wife is a toaster, TJ Oshie. And I thought his last name sounded like ours. Hockey isn't basketball in this country. There's no casual watching of hockey is what I'm saying.

Like you're either so in it or so removed it's just crazy that like the NHL is the same as like the NBA the NFL the MLB I don't watch baseball I could tell you like 11 players names 11 okay current not Mike Piazza not Mike Piazza not Mike Piazza. Not Mike Piazza. Not Mike Piazza. Pete Alonzo. Great. My best friend. Tamara Judge's son, Aaron Judge. Okay.

Oh, Kate Upton's husband. What's his name? Justin. What's his last name? I'll tell you. Verlander. Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you. Justin Verlander. Okay. So I can't do former I can't do Nick Swisher Joanna Garcia Swisher's husband not do former let me think let me think I definitely know oh oh oh oh he played on the Knicks not the Knicks the Mets Noah Syndergaard yeah I don't know if he's still on the team allow it let me think. Oh, oh.

No, I definitely know more. Hold on, hold on. Oh, what is Vanessa Hudgens' husband's name? Or Brielle's boyfriend. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Oh, oh, oh, Michael Kopech. Michael Kopech. He's not in your league, but okay. No, I think he goes between the leagues.

He goes up and down. Let me think. Let me think. It's crazy how we might actually know more minor league players than major. Thanks, Brielle Bierman. Okay, wait. I know more. Hold on.

Let me think. This is hard. Let me just think about the Mets. Like, I was out to dinner. It's okay. You don't need. I don't think you're going to. Like I was out to dinner. It's okay. You don't need. I don't think. But by the way still four.

Right. Not 11. So I would say like the MLB. I want us. But the MLB is like hugely successful. It's just like we don't watch it. So is the NHL. Right.

But I think the NHL is even more like siloed. And it's like you're either a hockey person or you're not. I want us to seriously spend the next 30 seconds thinking really hard. Can we name besides CJ Oshie because like one NHL player. Yeah my friend's brother plays in the NHL. You have a friend who's not me? Yeah my friend Britt. What's her brother's name? Sonny Milano. He plays in the NHL. What team? What's her brother's name? Sonny Milano.

He plays in the NHL. What team? I think the Islanders. Okay, I don't feel like that counts. Personal references don't count in this exercise. Yeah, he plays for the Washington Capitals. Current baseball players. I feel like who's the most famous one? It's Pete Alonzo right now.

So then Pete Alonzo doesn't count in your exercise personal friends oh shit you're right Ronald Acuna oh Aaron Judge okay that was a good one oh and then there's like uh you know Carrie Underwood's husband Mike Fisher Predators does he still play I feel like yeah I think you're right I think you're right and I just want to say like I'm on this list ex And then Hillary's ex-husband, Comrie. Oh, Bryce Harper. I have heard of him. Bryce Harper? Yeah, he sounds like a TikToker.

No, literally. This list of, like, the top players currently in the MLB, I seriously don't know any of them. And where is Pete Alonzo? He's number one. This list is. I think we did better than I thought we were going to do. I've got, we did four hockey players.

We did? Yeah. Mike Fisher, Mike Comrie, Tyler Oshie, and Sonny Milano. Yeah. Knowing us, we probably know some Tyler Oshie that's on his team. If they put those four people in a room together and they had to figure out why the four of them. Who put them together? I actually think they might get there.

You think? Yeah, because if your friend's brother just happens to talk about Colgate, Jackie O, TJ will say, oh, my wife listens to this podcast. And we actually went to her show in Pittsburgh. And then they would say, oh, and we were married to celebrities. No, not Pittsburgh, Baltimore. Yeah, right, right. They would actually figure it out. How long do you think it would take them?

I don't know if the baseball players, like Aaron Judge, Pete Alonzo, and these, like, D-listers. But the thing is, oh, there was D-listers. Because otherwise they're just like a bunch of baseball players on the Mets Yankees, like, in a room. Yeah, no. And then Kate like in a room. Yeah. No. And then Kate Upton's husband.

Yeah. He's also tops. Like, I feel like they've been in rooms together, you know, for the Olympics or whatever. Rubbing elbows. Yeah. They all go to the Olympics. What was the story? The Panthers are in the Stanley Cup.

Ariana. That wasn't the story. The Ariana Grande and her boyfriend were there because lest we not forget she's a Florida girl. Oh my god is she from Boca Raton? I don't know where she's from. I think she is from Boca Raton. Ariana oh I mean yes. Yeah that's like such a and so is Meghan Trainor. So she's a Panthers fan. Got it. That's why she, maybe she's home visiting Gran. Yeah. Perhaps meeting her new boyfriend.

They don't step out a lot. And when they do, it's big news, obviously. Because this was sort of like the beginning of the end of our, almost for Ariana Grande. Yeah. And then her album definitely brought her back. And I feel like now that the album's out, she's like, fuck you all. I've been with my mans almost a year now.

Like, we're going to go enjoy life. And it's. And she never spoke out about it. But her good friend, Bowen Yang, said on his podcast, like, the narrative out there about her is so incorrect. And she's like, never corrected it. She said that on her album, too, pretty much. Like, you guys don't know anything.

But, okay, what part are we wrong about? Like. Right. You can't just say, like, you say like you guys are wrong I need like a little bit more the the thing that's the critical issue for me because I don't care about her ex-husband is that he was married to like a lay woman when he left to go with a baby he left to go film wicked he had like a happy wife and a baby at home and then he didn't come home yeah because he was snatched by the talons of miss Ari that's what we know thus far that's the like what part of that is incorrect I'm like I would be so happy to move on from it I also think like let's say this is completely kosher like the way it went down was fine I'm just I'm not a fan of this relationship yeah like he doesn't have a good Q score no not at all not for me not for anyone really so that's personally like where I draw the line

yeah but she looks happy I wonder how many more games there are also speaking of finals and personal interest the Mavericks are in the finals of basketball my husband is thrilled except last night he was not thrilled because they lost yeah what's the score two zero oh that's a bad score I feel like there's only been two games so far but you know they have to get their ad dollars in they're gonna play seven games yeah Boston leads two and oh okay well I feel like even if the Mavericks don't win I'm sure he won't see it this way like it's an honor to be nominated like it's very exciting to be in the finals especially when the Cowboys like never make it that way yeah some of us have never been in the finals you know yeah so like just be happy like smile because it happened exactly and I think that's a beautiful sentiment to leave people on I completely agree um the good news is is, it's not Tuesday by any means,

but it's not the beginning of Monday. It's no longer Monday morning. And that to me is huge. It's cause de celebrate. Celebrate. So that's our show, right? I've been working on my French since the Olympics are in Paris. All right, hit us.

It's cause de celebrate. Oh, that's it. I've been working on my French too. Bonne nuit. Bonne nuit. That's good. And to that to that we say bonne nuit. Actually somebody posted that clip of the bonne nuit moment on like a toast fan page on TikTok and it came across my desk. Yeah we have fan pages. First of all I think that was probably the height of my obesity, which is just unfortunate for me because I can't enjoy watching the episode. And I think I had gotten a spray tan the night before I was going somewhere.

So I chose to not wear makeup that day and be pre-showered spray tan on the show. I look fucking crazy. Like seriously, I look horrible. And it's such a shame because it's such an amazing story. And re-watching it, I just recently re rewatched it.

Me sharing that story was incredibly brave. It's one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done in my life. Well, then you've lived a good life, La. I love that. Also, good thing so many people listen as a podcast because people didn't know what you looked like. So true. So that's a win for audio.

Do you want to wrap up? kind of I just want to like pet Romeo I would love to if you'll allow me to wrap up in my style which is not auctioneer okay it's more flexidaisical thank you guys so much for listening to the show so we appreciate every single one of you and we hope that you enjoyed yourself so much today that you'll come back tomorrow and maybe even tell a friend now like subscribe comment on instagram it's giving desperate it's giving desperate i think it's giving earnest plea one woman's desperation is another woman's earnest plea honestly i kind of love that i'm not thirsty i'm just an earnest player it's just a plea from an earnest woman the importance of being earnest
