Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Wednesday! Oh my god, you're lying! Slowly but surely, folks. Slowly but surely. It's Wednesday, Hump Day, and extremely important, dare I say, integral part of our ethos here at Toast HQ. If you believe, you will receive the hump. Oh my god, wait, you just reminded me of the craziest

thing I saw yesterday. It better be crazy. You, cause you said believe, receive, which always reminds me of ask, believe, receive, which always reminds me of Kim Zolciak Bierman. Okay. And you know, the financials and the, you know, business businesses of the Zolciak Bierman family are of extreme interest to me. And, you know, they have all these different companies, one of them being Cashmere Collections with a K. And it's like their skincare company. And they put out a statement yesterday that they like sold the company. Slay. To 310 Nutrition, which is like another like fake Instagram brand that like Kim, that's like Express Smile Atlanta. Like Jackie, the tangled web that the Zolciak-Biermann finances weave never ceases to amaze me. I just, the tangled web that the Zilciac Beerman finances weave

never ceases to amaze me. I just, I love to see women in business. Merging and acquiring. Merging, acquiring, making deals or obfuscating the reality. Yeah. Or, you know, being on the phone with their attorneys juggling seven business deals, which is so us these days. We're in such high demand.

Especially with the attorneys. Classic us. Okay. So much to talk about today. Yes. The first is that in no particular order of importance, my book club meets tonight and I'm hosting, which means it's the first time I'm having people in my new apartment. What did you read? Did you hear about Kitty car right right right and let me tell you I didn't really start reading it I was so like like in a reading funk this month and then I got sick and I was certainly not reading I didn't really start reading until yesterday and I'm so rushed and I'm so annoyed because it's amazing oh really it's so interesting because whenever I read books that are like historical fiction and they go back and forth there's like

a modern element and then they go back to like the war or whatever I like can't get away from the chapters in history like I'm like that's so funny I can't get away from the modern chapters I'm like shut up loser so in this particular book I would say like 90% of the book is the old stuff it's amazing so actually don't say anything more I'm gonna read it I just need no I just want to say like the future the modern chapters might be one of the worst books i've ever read like got it i needed a strong endorsement to take it off my want to read list to my reading list but now i'm going to so leave it at that say no more la turdaloo say no more so i've just been like i'm like i wish i could be enjoying it more but because i'm so rushed it's like kind of ruining it for me, which is annoying. And that's on me. That's on me. You know what that is?

Classic. Low key it is. Like, so that's just what's been going on with me. And after today, I have to like run home, finish the book and start, you know, prepping my home because I have company for the first time, which is also just like a big deal, you know? Yeah. So that's the first thing I wanted to talk about. The second thing I wanted to talk about is kind of a major update from a developing story.

Actually, it was kind of a stagnant story because we were talking about stuff and no one was getting back to us. The trail went cold. We, a few weeks ago, just kind of put our necks out on the line like two big back bitches We put ourselves out there. We put ourselves out there because we heard that like a lot of the men in podcasting and the men in comedy were putting together a 5K for like their health. And I want to assume for charity, but even though no one's like said

there's a charity involved, like I just feel like people don't run 5Ks like if it's not for charity, you know? Yeah. And we heard they were like all getting together and like calling each other up. And they were like trying to get fellow comedians and podcasters involved to raise awareness.

And like nobody reached out to us, which just baseline was like kind of rude because we are like women of pride. I feel like it's because we're kind of inaccessible, you know, and we're hard to approach. Oh, you think we're not approachable? I think we're not approachable. To the bears? Yeah, I think the bears are scared.

They're running scared. Oh, because you know what we're giving? We're giving like mama bear energy. Two mama bears, one cave. One cave. So we put ourselves out there. We said, listen, you know, not that you asked or anything, but like you need some women and we'd love to be involved.

Dead silence. Dead radio silence from the men in comedy. They wanted nothing to do with us. We're like, okay, we could take the hit. But you're really making this a gender issue when I didn't find it to be gendered. Oh yeah, I guess because like Michelle Wolfe was involved like she's a woman no but even if there were no women I would have maybe said that was

more of a coincidence like I just feel like they're all friends yeah they are we're like not a part of like the inner circle of comedy and that's not because we're women it's because we're us yeah we're like so unfriendly and unapproachable and like we don't try at all or like follow anyone on Instagram you know what that's not us and we're not we unapproachable. And like we don't try at all or like follow anyone on Instagram. But you know what? That's on us. And we don't run in those circles. Like we don't perform at the Comedy Cellar. We don't live in Austin.

We don't live in Austin. That's what it is. I don't think it's gendered, unfortunately. Jackie, for our careers, should we move to Austin? Like you know I'm down. Yeah, for our careers. But then would we just be like another comic in Austin? So true.

Like such a big pond for two fish such as us. So all's that to say is Bert Kreischer finally heard our cries, our desperate, pathetic cries. And he has responded being like, he claims he hadn't heard of it until yesterday. Sure, Bert, we're like the number two podcast under Smart List, but sure. He seems authentic. He seems like an authentic creator.

No, and Burt is a lot of things. And I don't know him. I've never met him. But I don't think I would call him a liar. I wouldn't call him inauthentic. Oh, I would. And he reached out to us on Instagram saying, like, I'm just now hearing this. They would love to have us.

Like they're kind of like, now they're, they're kind of desperate like for us to be involved. Oh, the tables have turned. And they want us there. They won't tell us where it is, but it's in May.

Apparently like the locale is very secretive. I'm not understanding that. Maybe I need to listen to their podcast episode more. Okay. I'm sure if we listen to their podcast, it would clear things up. But the vibe I'm getting just based on vibes is that they don't have a location yet.

And that's like so Jackson Claude like coded. Totally. We should do the 5K on the icon of the seas. I mean, it's so big. We would have to walk it like half of it. Yeah. Just a lap. Love that.

So I guess like we talked such a big fucking game and now here we are like committed to a 5k which I've personally never done well a fun fact about me is that I married into a turkey trot family yikes and when Zach and I were dating and we were in Dallas for Thanksgiving we we did a 5K turkey trot. So I have done a 5K. That is so crazy to me. So when I see those memes, I always show it to him.

There's like this running joke of like people who marry into families. Yeah, turkey trot families. Turkey trot on Thursday morning and usually go out Wednesday night when you're a young thing. I was so hungover. It was the longest day. It was really a difficult time.

So I'm hoping that this 5K like brings better 5K memories. You know, I did complete it and you would have never known. What was your time? Oh, I don't know. So I just need to fully figure out how many miles are in a 5K. 3.1. Okay, that's like not really like the worst thing in the planet I think it would take us about 30 35 minutes if we run and walk are we running

combo yeah I'm gonna run till we get tired then we walk till we get bored then we run again the the thing I do love and this is not a slight at all it's actually one of my favorite parts about like that sort of Austin comedy podcaster scene is everyone's overweight and out of shape. Everyone's out of shape. It's just like kind of like a bunch of like big dudes. And I feel like, you know, I'm kind of coming in, even though I'm like one of the most out of shape people on the planet, I'm really working on it.

I do think I'm coming in with like an upper hand in that sense. Yeah, but I feel like they also, they were out of shape, becoming in shape people. And that was actually the motivation for their 5k shit you're right we're like kind of all in the same boat no you all like are just yeah you're all in the same boat me too I'll just like we're all just like coming off of ozempic you know we're all coming off of ozempic coming off of pregnancies and we're getting in shape and we're doing it together what is that thing um what was that thing called?

Do you know what I'm talking about? If you would describe it, maybe. I'm going to give you nothing. And I just want to know if you know what I'm talking about. Like that weight loss competition. The Big Loser? No. The Biggest Loser?

No, no, no. It was like not a TV show. It was like just like a thing. Like people do at their office? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like it was all based on like body percentage. Yeah, whoever like lost the most weight won a couple grand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like it was all based on like body percentage. Yeah, whoever like lost the most weight won a couple grand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was like a big pot. I feel like it was the biggest loser. No, like it was like this game. I feel like our teachers did it at school. Yeah, they did. What the hell was that little like thing called? It was like a trend people used to do. It was like kind of like no shave November.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like please help. Like weight loss September. Yeah, what the hell was it? please help. Like, weight loss September. Yeah. What the hell was it? Someone will sound off in the comments. Well, I feel like they all did that. Another thing they didn't include us in.

Yeah, well, they knew that we were already snatched to the gods. They knew like there was no hope for me. Like, you can't even make jokes like that anymore. Why? For a really long time, like there was no hope for me. No, I know. If you from two years ago watched the reel that you posted last night.

Let's talk about it. It would have been a fast five story about this influencer who posted this reel. No lie. No lie. No cap. No shade. Calling a lid.

Yeah, putting a lid on it, essentially, is what you're saying. Lidded. I want to talk about my viral moment last night. Oh, did you go viral? Yeah, I did. Congratulations. Thank you so much. And I swear that's not why I did it.

I really was sharing like what I thought was like a good meal. And I knew people would be like, oh, this is weird. I didn't think it was going to be the craziest thing, like peanut butter on a pickle. Like was it the craziest thing? Jackie, people are acting like I put peanut butter on a pickle. Like for real. Where is this happening?

Because I read some of the Instagram comments. The most popular Instagram comments were people being like, I don't want this, but I don't hate it. Oh, no. People on TikTok are like jail. Turdy, I've been defending you since the breath. I can't do this, but I don't hate it. Oh, no. People on TikTok are like jail. Turdi, I've been defending you since the breath. I can't do this. She can't.

This is their last straw. Like people are like this like really like broke some people for me. Basically, I shared on TikTok last night like a meal that I was having. As you guys know, I am on my health grind. And I'm really like it's very hard for me because I'm so picky that it really does make it difficult for me to like make good choices. And I think a lot of like how I ended up so unhealthy was just like a lack of options so I'm really trying to broaden my horizons and I felt really excited that like I had something that was shareable like and I

thought I actually thought like the keto girls would love it they didn't have your back not in the slightest I just feel like after years of you not having theirs they didn't come to your defense no this is my bed I will take a nap in it you've kind of alienated yourself from everyone not me you always have me and the icon of the seas and what more do you need literally well I need my dinner from last night it was so good so everyone knows I love taco meat it's like my favorite thing on the planet to eat and I usually obviously eat it with like rice so like a million tostitos but I'm trying to you know pare down so like what can I eat this taco meat with that's like not like just nothing and I put um some eggs in boiled water you know boiled some eggs was one

of the hardest things I've ever done Olivia had to walk me through the whole thing on FaceTime crushed it by the way made some hard boiled eggs you inspired me to make some last night too and mine came out perfect thanks for asking I scooped out the yellow. Oh my God. Everyone was also coming at me for calling them yellow. What are they called? Yolk. Sorry. I call them the yellows.

I don't like the middle. Like I just like the boat. The vessel. The icon of the seas. I just like the icon of the seas. And I filled it up with taco meat. And I made like my own little like keto taco. You know?

I'm not keto by the way. I don't know why I keep saying that. They came for my neck well here's what like to me it's not that radical but I guess something about us is one we love in our family to eat egg whites as like vessels for anything I we sometimes have laughing cow cheese all right don't put me in that boat. I don't do that show. No, but it's a great vessel. It is. And we've always seen it as a vessel. Maybe not everyone sees it as a vessel. Oh, and by the way, let me tell you why it's a perfect vessel. And people were shocked that I eat hard boiled eggs. But the thing about hard boiled eggs is they taste like nothing. Yeah. So like,

well, I don't know why it was shocking people that I eat that. Like, yes, me eating cottage cheese. That's shocking. I agree with you. But me eating a hard boiled egg, it's like me literally eating like a saltine. Like it tastes like nothing. Yeah, it tastes, and it's packed with protein. No, and it was so good. I have some, like, do you know how excited I am to go home? I have leftovers. Like that's what I'm having for lunch.

That is exciting. But I got roasted. And the thing is, everyone was yucking my yums. And after years of doing it to other people, like I truly deserve nothing but that. No, nothing but that. And back to my original point of, if old you could see you now, she would hate you.

But I guess that's called growth. Wait, I do want to say, I do think it's going to take us like way more time than 30 minutes to run a 5K. Because like just based on my like treadmill vibes, I do run, walk, run, walk. Like, and by the time I'm done with like a 30, 40 minute thing, I've literally went like a mile and a half. So I think it's literally going to take me like two hours. No, run, walk. And by the time I'm done with like a 30, 40 minute thing, I've literally went like a mile and a half.

So I think it's literally going to take me like two hours. No, it won't. One, you're going to train. And we'll get it to like, I think 45 minutes is a good goal then. I'm kind of dreading this. No, Claudia, it's going to be fun. It'll be great for our careers. You know, by the, like the only thing carrying me through,

the motivation here for me is like the thirst, the attention, the followers. Hoping maybe we'll, you know, be able to sit down with Tom and Bert and record, like, a Toast X Bear collab podcast, you know? Like, rubbing elbows with some of the greats. And I just want to say, like, if we do, like, two Toasters, one Cave episode, like, we will be bringing couples together. Like, the couples are literally, like, hetero couples are the man who listens to two bears and the wife who listens to a toaster. Like, and if they could, like we would be bringing families together.

Like it'd be good Christian values, you know? Totally. Date night. Yeah. Sweet life on deck of icon of the seas. And honestly, I think they have a Patreon too. Like we should monetize that shit. Like we could retire.

Yeah. They do big tings on Patreon so it's worth it and I'll do it and I will start training so feel free to send me I know there's like apps and stuff like it's actually apparently

like quite easy to train for a 5k like allegedly if you're not me but send them our way because we were like we're getting started maybe we'll start when we're together great

oh yeah let's see let's see how long it takes us on the treadmill to do three miles. How long can you run? Like, how many, like, minutes? I mean, it's hard to say, like, right now. But in my, like, once I'm just, like, at an average myself, at least a whole, like, maybe two songs straight. Wow. Two songs.

That's a lot. It depends what speed i'm going and yeah and it's like when we say running are we jogging are we like sprinting both fall under but no we're jogging nobody sprints in a marathon or a 5k yeah well this is just all very exciting slow and and steady wins the race. Right. The tortoise and the hare. It's just crazy. Like some people run a marathon in like three hours.

Like I could technically do the 5K in like two hours. We're all running our own race, Turdy, literally. Comparison is the thief of joy. That's beautiful. Thank you. So what's up with you? We've got a great show, by the way. Today's Wednesday. In keeping with our scheduling update from last week dear toasters has been moved to tomorrow Jackie and I both

watched Vanderpump Rules so what's new with you Jax thank you for asking again um very exciting developments here I'm making baby food this morning we are in the baby food stage of life which is just so exciting nothing sweeter than some homemade baby food from a homesteading trad wife I made some homemade applesauce this morning to start my day and that is our first foray which is very exciting and sweet just you know they grow up so fast they really really do and I I enjoy making baby food I I feel like people with like subsequent kids, like they're just like have the Gerber jar. You know,

it's like the first kid gets, you know, the best and the fourth kid's eating off the floor. The first kid, like I'm picking my own apples. Yeah, right.

You're growing them in your bushel. Yeah, but I'm, no, I'm doing it again. I really, I enjoy it. I find it soothing and it gives me peace of mind,

especially as I finish weaning. I don't feel like I'm no longer making Tornado's food because now we're just moving to a different medium. So it's been nice. I can't wait to try some of your homesteading fresh baby food when I come see you this weekend, which I'm literally so excited about.

Any requests? I actually feel like you would like my baby food because it's totally clean and you're an almond mom now. No, not only that. When I see Harryry's plate i'm like fuck me up like that i there's nothing on harry's plate i wouldn't eat it's just good old-fashioned turdys choice like it's always like a breaded chicken not breaded sometimes it's breaded sometimes it's bread it depends like except one thing about harry that's so weird he doesn't like pasta he doesn't like pasta he doesn't like potatoes and there's one maybe maybe harry and i are kind of like growing apart the thing is he he didn't like them so i like stopped offering them right i'm sure if i kept offering it he would eventually eat it but

like why if you don't want to eat it don't know it sounds like me and harry are kind of like growing apart that's growth man like i said they grow so fast so yeah if you need me to make you any baby food let me know i'm just so excited to spend the weekend with you we're gonna have the best time oh and i am vlogging today for book club oh fun so people will see like i'm not gonna do a home tour ever because we already went into like why i think we've evolved as a brand but I as a society I do think um you'll get some nice sneak peeks in my apartment and all my new furniture and my bits and pieces I like that and we'll so yeah we'll all feel like we're there yeah and I'm really excited about that and it's just another great day of you know being alive and having our health 100% yesterday I did something so exciting which

was I did a two-hour driving lesson how many people did you kill zero very exciting we like I was literally just in the parking lot we were like going about my normal day and I was like showing him my areas of struggle and we were smart yeah we drove to the mall because I've never- Did you go back to the scene of the crime? No, no. I was just like, I kept telling him, like I kept alluding to like right on red trauma. Yeah, but you didn't cite the actual incident. No, I kept wanting to, but he wasn't really interested. I think he was just trying to tell me to let it go.

Yeah, which is probably the best thing for you in this moment. Yeah, but I really got my parking down what I didn't realize it's so much easier to park turning left into a spot versus turning right because you could see so much better it's on your side and as short you also you also need to like see the other side no but like it's just are you talking about parallel park or like pulling into a parking into a spot it's just naturally easier to pull about parallel park or like pulling into a parking spot? Pulling into a spot. It's just naturally easier to pull into a spot that's on your left. I didn't realize this but I was doing this.

That's funny. I feel the opposite. Really? Why do you feel as such? I don't know. I feel like if I'm in a parking lot and there's a space on both sides of me I'm just more inclined to do like a wide right turn. I don't know why.

Because you like a challenge? No because I'm writing. You'll pick the hard one because I'm not afraid of a challenge. Loki, I'm so glad you brought that up. One of the weirdest and worst lines in cinematic history is that moment in Legally Blonde.

But like, it's a sleigh. No, but the thing is, it's not. It's a cringe. But it's Elle. Like, nothing she does is actually cringe no no but that's like the one thing she does that's the thing l woods is this woman who's just like she's unstoppable anything she does is cool she's so self-assured she's so capable she's so everything and it's the not only the line itself but it's also the delivery of that line the whole moment in that lecture where she like changed it. Because I'm not afraid of a challenge.

Like, dumb. I guess maybe the writers weren't feeling well that day, but it was a miss. And I like to cite it. I'm glad you brought it up because I've been meaning to talk about it for a minute. Okay, well. Another thing I've been meaning to talk about? So I learned that when in doubt, I can park on the left side. I don't know if I'm feeling not confident,

but I was trying to practice all the hard ones. I worked on my right turn into the parking spot, wide turn, crushed it. Crushed. Oh my God, and then when we came home, he had me backing into my driveway. Like the way that my car is parked right now, it's like literally, I could never do that again. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You need a professional's help. Yeah. But no, lessons were learned. And I'm really glad that I did. I'm feeling more comfortable. And I'm going to really try and get out there. Every day. The teacher like thought he was, I think he was a little confused why I was doing this.

Like I'm a perfectly fine driver, but it's more so it's the mental. It's the mental anguish. The thing is the mental anguish like won't go away until you just practice, practice, experience, experience. Right. So I'm glad I did it. Okay, good. I'm glad that you're here.

Well, thank you. Did you watch Vanderpump Rules? Yeah. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't enjoy myself. Neither did I. I watched it this morning.

It took me maybe two hours to get through the episode. I just kept pausing it to do anything else. No, I completely agree. We'll talk about it in the TV recap. So that is postponing Dear Toaster still tomorrow. So the DT stands and there are many. We'll have to wait. Also, I'm sure it's not a story,

but you know, Taylor did her Tokyo show. I saw. This is like such a strange time difference because like I woke up in the show like had just ended you know yeah and we like I got the surprise songs first thing in the morning okay and so the first surprise song she sang was Dear Reader love which is very symbolic because it's the final song on midnight so it's kind of like the closing of this most recent chapter of midnights because now we're about to enter the dead poet society for sure but I do feel like

it's actually like not great symbolism because it's like the first show of a new chapter. And we don't get the, like she's doing another show tonight, but you just played the last song. No, it's symbolic and I like it. And also she's never played it before and that's literally my favorite song of all time.

Well, I feel like it was kind of like Bala Busta Book Club coded and she knew you were hosting tonight and just wanted to give you a bit of encouragement, dear reader. I mean, I would love that. Yeah, maybe Taylor knew my book club coded and she knew you were hosting tonight and just wanted to give you a bit of encouragement dear reader I mean I would love that yeah maybe Taylor knew my book club was meeting honestly that makes more sense to me I mean I could see it like we all know like Taylor's number one confidant in this moment is Kelly Teller Kelly Teller loves the toast she probably knows my book clubs mean like I wouldn't be surprised if seriously she told Taylor that

my book club it just like came up and that inspired her to sing Dear Reader it's such an insanely delicious song I love that song and then she also sang Holy Ground which is like one of her favorites like she's always singing it okay those are two of my like those would be on my top oh wow top 15 choices I'll find videos and send it to you thank you re. Reels preferred. Reels preferred, of course. Let's get into the stories. I think so, too. We've dilly-dallied long. Oh, my God.

We really have? It's late. Okay. Without further ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Poppy. It's no secret that soda has become a dirty word. Too sugary, too syrupy. We don't blame you for wanting to leave it in the past.

But that era of soda is officially over. So So you know I'm a Diet Coke fiend. And while I have not sworn it off completely, and I don't think I will ever get there, it's an important part of my day, I have pared down immensely how much soda I drink. There's so many other healthier alternatives. They taste as good and they don't have a lot of the BS in it. So I wanted to try it for myself. I had heard Poppy for years. Everybody on TikTok is obsessed with Poppy. And really, I understand why they are that bitch. They really are kind of doing the most over at Poppy. So it is a better for you soda made with clean ingredients. It has five grams of sugar or less, and it has prebiotics. There are literal prebiotics in each can. You can feel good about what's in your can with the classic flavors like

cola, which obviously is going to resemble a Diet Coke, Doc Pop, root beer. You could say goodbye to empty calories, artificial ingredients, and high fructose corn syrup. So the Doc Pop flavor tastes just like Dr. Pepper. So if you're trying to like replace a habit, but for me, it's Diet Coke. I know some people love Dr. Pepper. They have flavors that are so similar that make it really easy to transition. I'm not going to lie. Like I have not stopped drinking soda, but I drink a lot less.

You could shop Poppy on Amazon for 15% off with code TOAST15 off. It's also available in retailers nationwide. They also have fresh fruit flavors. So besides for the soda, they also just make delicious fruit beverages like strawberry lemon, cherry limeade, orange, grape. They're bursting with the juiciest flavor. So shop Poppy on Amazon for 15% off with code TOAST15OFF. And of course, in retailers nationwide, that's TOAST15OFF. Today's episode is brought to you by Stamps.com.

Well, our first story is actually... Oh, wait. I remember what I wanted. Thank you. Blah. Well, our first story is actually. Oh, wait. I remember what I wanted to tell you. I called Jackie yesterday and I had to yell at her about something and then I couldn't remember what it was. Oh, please. And I just remembered. Would you hold up your iPad for the class?

Oh, you want to shame me? Jackie, we're running a business here and we have these absolutely gorgeous custom iPad cases made with our logos so we could, I don't know, have branding. Not only did you take yours off, which seems beyond unnecessary, you didn't put it back on, and now we're giving Apple logo. Like, they need more. Like, he needs more money. Like, Jackie.

I'm sorry, Laturdia. I took it off for my son so that he could enjoy my iPad when he needed to and that he wouldn't disturb the beautiful case that you made me that I wanted to protect. So I took it off and put it on a kid-friendly case for him. You can take it up with him. I will, actually. I think you should.

First the rice and now the iPad case. Seems like me and Harry have a lot to discuss when I get down there. Yeah. I don't know. It feels like we have, you know, not enough time and so much to discuss that maybe we, I don't know, he should like sleep in my bed or something, like just to save time. He's welcome to.

Yeah, just like put it back on, you know. This is a place of business. I'll think about it. Jackie, Jackie. Oh, it's right over there. Jackie, this is a place of business, not a daycare. No, I think it's both, actually. I think it is too. And maybe, I don daycare. No, I think it's both actually. I think it is too. And maybe, I don't know, maybe you should put it back on like now. By the way, I don't

know if you know, like our clips have gone so viral this last week. I mean, we've been like our best. On TikTok? Yes. Like multiple videos with hundreds of thousands. Like, and you're just out here slinging Apple logos. Like go get your case um you know what actually the universal music non-cooperation with tiktok is good for us because we don't use music and they need like fresh audio sounds and that's what we provide oh my god you're so right now that's capitalizing on the moment as we should as we will and you haven't gotten up to go get your ipad case no i haven. Because I don't feel like it. I don't, I'm, I don't like it. HR will be hearing about this.

I think that they should. And you'll be getting a call from Olivia Alshai. I think that you will be getting a call too. Are you ready for our first story? Yes. It's some book news. Ina Garten quietly releases, quietly announces a 2024 memoir release date so Ina just celebrated her 76th birthday and eagle-eyed fans noticed that in the bio of her

Instagram it says memoir coming out October 1st 2024 let me tell you something about aina she's a little weird like i feel like there's all this like fanfare for her in the culture she's like such an integral part of really like millennial life and she kind of hates it i feel why do you feel she hates it and why does this make you feel that way i don't know i just feel like there's something weird about Ina. Like, I really mean that. Okay, do you remember that account? Yeah. Help me. That was, like, an Ina fan page. Yeah, and they just, like, put Ina in pop culture moments.

And, like, a couple of years ago, it was, like, the biggest Instagram account. What the hell was that page called? Not the biggest Instagram account. No, but, like, everyone. I think I used to follow it. Let me see. It was called, like, Inalicious. No, what was it called? Like, Ina-licious. No. What was it called? Like.

Ina. I feel like for a while like all we were talking about was that Instagram account. I don't know. I don't. I can't find it. And like there are so many like professional Ina impersonators on social media. I'm always seeing. I mean like. And everybody dresses up as her.

Like. I feel like there's so much fanfare for her. And like she never sort of like engages with it. Or like even like likes anything on Instagram like I feel like there's so much fanfare for her like she never sort of like engages with it or like even like likes anything on Instagram I feel like and I remember with that Instagram account that blew up about Ina she blocked them like she didn't like it okay but I also think she's 76 years old and she's not like desperate for the Instagram fanfare she just wants to make her meals and enjoy her life and that's okay with me I don't get the vibe that she like hates it but but she doesn't like do the most and like you know really get in there and because she's not thirsty she doesn't need it yeah no no and this is like a really not thirsty way to announce your memoirs yeah but I think that's exactly what we need she's the exact

sort of person who should be writing her memoirs I actually think her story's really interesting me too she must have a lot to say she's probably learned so much along the way like yes please I will read your memoirs thank you yeah I feel like a lot of people don't realize like she was like a she had like a catering company and then it got like really popular and like fancy circles in the Hamptons like how you catapult that to like really what she did is super impressive. I would be like, it's definitely giving like Bob Iger energy. No. And she used to live in DC. She was like, worked in politics. Did she? Her and Jeffrey. Yeah. Congresswoman Ina? Yeah. And she only fell into like being a chef like this, a professional chef, like just out of hobby. Skill. Yeah. That's interesting. I wonder what, you know know DC I know was like yeah designer so

low-key announcement I mean October 1st is really far away so is there a title no let's let's theorize memoirs of an Ina how easy is that but it wasn't easy probably to get where she is. Okay. How easy is that colon? Not easy. Not easy to find out. Not easy at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I love a colon in a memoir. It's like my favorite thing. I mean, you have to have a colon.

I think it's like in the contracts. It's in the MLA. Every memoir needs a subtitle. It's in Chicago MLA. Except for Memoirs of a Geisha speaks for itself. Well, that's true. When you have a title as strong as that, like no other sort of punctuation is required.

And my next memoir is, of course, going to be called Searching for Victimhood, The Claudia Asher story. Not Memoirs of a Gwangi? Maybe my third. You guys have to buy the second just so I can do that. Yeah. Oh my God, if you ever write other memoirs, we we're gonna have so much fun with the title I know like the first one had to be like

you know brand safe girl with no job you know I made the bestseller list like I'm good I don't care about the future when like I can always say now like I'm a best-selling author so the next book's like we're fucking around like yeah we're gonna do something wild totally I feel like Barefoot Contessaessa could be something like Walking Through Life with the Barefoot Contessa. Dancing Through Life. She's not dancing. She's cooking through life. What about this?

Talk Turdy to Me. You like that? I guess it would kind of be more so the title of my sex tape. Yeah, yeah. Than my memoirs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. be more so the title of like my sex tape yeah yeah than my memoirs yeah yeah okay so for barefoot contessa like barefoot confessor oh i love we're like confessions of an Ina. I need to say something.

Ina. This is tough. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard. You would think it would be easy. There's so much fodder with her. Right. And like, I mean, obviously. But she's also not like silly goofy.

So it has to be serious. That's what I'm saying. She gives us nothing. But like if it were me, it would be like the vagina mean, obviously. But she's also not like silly goofy. So it has to be serious. That's what I'm saying. She gives us nothing. But like if it were me, it would be like the vagina monologues. The Ina monologues. That's it. And it could be short stories. Short stories.

You know what? Jackie, Jackie, Jackie. Short. The Ina monologues, colon. Short stories from a short woman. Because she's like four feet. That's rude. No, she's not. know what's not one of my favorite jokes do share like how when you go to get a recipe online they give you like the longest synopsis yeah about what the recipe means to

them and their heritage and their family and like a million things. Jump to recipe. Ingredients. Like nobody reads it. Why do they keep doing it? Oh, I don't know. And by the way, Ina's 5'3". So she is like literally our height. And I find that the jump to recipe button is harder and harder to find. Like they keep making it smaller and more hidden.

What is harder to find? The jump to recipe button or the unsubscribe button? In the bottom of an email. Because they've started to get really creative. Where like it used to be underlined because it's hyperlinked. Yeah. So the bottom would be like copyright, the address. And then there would be like one blue hyperlinked.

And you would know that now they don't hyperlink it. So you literally just need to search. You need to pair like a monocle to find the unsubscribe button at the bottom of emails. Yeah. I just, I need to find a chef who doesn't want to share her story and just wants to share recipes. Yeah, you need to find like a shy chef. Who's like, I don't want to tell me about growing up on the farm.

No, no, okay. And making their favorite spaghetti meatballs for their little brother. You need to find like a really, really private chef, not in like a private sense, and like a chef who has like a big sense of privacy. Yeah. Yeah. Have you seen the joke that's like I want to read a thriller about a blogging chef who is admitting to a crime of murder in every recipe like in the beginning but nobody ever puts it together because nobody reads they're so long-winded oh and nobody reads it because everyone just jumps to recipe so then if you look back on all the recipes like all the clues were there I do also have an issue

with recipe culture in terms of like the SEO of it all because like when I if I just were to google like you know corn muffin like the first one they would give me like would be the worst one like factually yeah it's hard you have to look at the reviews how many reviews it has some of them have like thousands and it's five stars you could trust it that's why it's have to look at the reviews, how many reviews it has. Some of them have like thousands and it's five stars. You could trust it. That's why it's also to build up a rapport. It's good to build up a rapport with a, what is it called? Like a food blogger? Because you know if you like their taste.

Like I can trust if Half-Baked Harvest had a vegetarian meatball, which is what I was looking for the other day, that I would go with it. I'm sorry, a vegetarian meatball how does that make any sense isn't that just a ball? Like a veggie meatball yeah like a almost like a veggie patty. Oh okay yeah like a beyond ball. No not beyond like made with veggies as the substitute. Okay like isn't that just a salad though like for real? No like it would be like eggplant maybe zucchini like I was looking for a way to put it all together to be a meatball.

I didn't get very far. And what do you have against meat? Like in this scenario? Oh, no, I mean, I make meatballs multiple times a week. And Jackie's meatballs. Oh, thanks, Turdy. I'll make you some when you're here. We're always having meatballs.

And so I just wanted, I was like curious. And I had like two eggplants and two zucchinis in my fridge. So I was like, I wonder if I can make a meatball with this. You make me a meatball and I'll make you Turdy's Famous Egg Tacos. Oh, I would love that. How was your taco meat? So good. I used ground turkey.

Oh, the best. Just ground turkey and old El Paso. I'm done with ground beef. A ground beef is over party. By the way, I agree. Because also when you're cooking ground beef, like all that oil. Like are you you so I can never know if you're supposed to keep the oil in the pan everyone says like use it but then everyone's like get it out and honestly when I take it out it's gross and when I leave it it's gross like I don't know what to do turkey doesn't have that

problem like turkey and also I know you're not gonna agree with me but ground chicken fucks too love ground chicken I like ground chicken chili I love ground chicken everything like just like turkey they're to me so similar. And I'm just done with ground beef. I'm so glad we're putting it out there. Yeah, I do still like ground beef chili. That's the only thing I'll really accept. But ground beef just really needs to be cooked for a really long time.

And it needs to be really small. Yeah, we're such almond ladies. It's just too fatty. I'm such an almond lady this podcast is becoming like an insufferable diet podcast it's giving like huberman energy i love that me too and it's just like so important to constantly be changing yeah i was just having this conversation with someone we were talking about like the landscape of podcasting all these different shows like shows that used to be big and that aren't anymore what a fun combo it really was

and I'm like lightening it up like it was really mean and we were just like setting this up like this podcast that used to be really popular like what went wrong like we couldn't really figure out what it was and and we really boiled it down to like a lack of evolution in terms of content in terms of format in terms of everything you have you can't be afraid of change that's something I've learned very late in life. Because don't get me wrong, like, change is the worst. But now that I've changed so much about my life, and I'm so happy, like, I'm probably one of the happiest,

aside from Theo dying in the war in Israel, I'm probably one of the happiest places I've really ever been, and that's due to that change, you know? Yeah. Claudia, I've been trying to tell you for years, sometimes self-care looks like hard work no and sometimes i like like literally yesterday in the tub i like sat back and i was like in the last year like i did the two things i never ever ever thought i could possibly

be physically capable of i lost the weight and i stopped vaping like two things that were just like a fabric of my life like it was just a fact it wasn't anything i was even trying to change because i knew i literally it was futile to even try wasn't anything I was even trying to change because I knew I, literally it was futile to even try. And then once I did the weight thing and I totally had help with the Ozambic, I never would have been able to do it without. I realized like I was capable of doing big things

and that's what really kind of gave me the courage to quit the weight. And number three, skiing. Let me think. Skiing, reading. Reading.

That's like an old one now. Yeah, we're just used to you reading. Yeah, and it's like, oh, we didn't think I could do something that required me to like lay down. I mean, you know, like everything else is really physical. Yeah. Great. Yeah.

Oh, by the way, I'm wearing the sneakers. Oh, can you get me a pair? I was going to say. I think you, I think like you could treat me to a pair. By the way, I'll make you a deal. Put the case on? Go get your iPad case. I'll buy you the shoes right now.

Will you have them like delivered ASAP? And by the way, I bought them on Shopbop through Amazon. They came the next day. You have yourself a deal. Okay. What size are you? Shopbop. Seven.

I got a 7'2 two and they looked like a little small when i put them on i was like shook but they fit completely fine so okay send me the confirmation that goes on women's seven add to bag and it's gonna be so easy because i have your address in my amazon account oh yeah you've been sending some tings yes. I'm so excited. They would look so cute with my outfit today, don't you think? I do think it would look great with your outfit today. Thank you, Claudia.

Pleasure doing business with you. Yeah. Oh, I'm so excited. What was I just? Aren't they cool? And to finish my thought from earlier, these are the shoes I was talking about on Friday when I saw Ariel Charnas' story. And I was like, should I get the jacket? I didn't get the jacket from earlier these are the shoes i was talking about on friday when i saw ariel charnas's story and i was like should i get the jacket i didn't get the jacket but i got the shoes and so far i'm loving it so maybe it'll

inspire me to get you know complete the look complete the look yeah great well are you ready for our next story is this only number two it's only number two yeah charlie d'amelio and landon barker have broken up after more than a year of dating so if you guys have kids this is something that you can talk to them about yeah it's probably a tough time for them but Landon posted on his Instagram saying hey everyone I would like to let you guys know that Charlie and I are no longer together we broke up to focus on ourselves we are still friends and have so much love for each other I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared and hope you can respect our decisions.

Thank you. Love you all so much. So there was a time when like, I really cared about the kids of TikTok. And that time has passed. Of course. I don't care about them as TikTok kids. I care about them as part of the Kardashian-Barker ecosystem.

Exactly. And even though they're really young, i felt like they were a really solid couple that i didn't this was shocking yeah i didn't foresee breaking up yeah no they seemed like oddly stable yeah given just the circumstances a serious long-term relationship even though they're so young and obviously it's not you know and I never questioned like whether or not they were going to stay together they just kind of like were they were always together they were always like at serious family functions together like that's where you bring your serious partner so I just like always kind of assumed she would be in the fold and I know that they just came out with season two of the D'Amelio show and like I do kind of look at

the D'Amelio's ever since I watched that first season but like a hypercritical eye and I like the when I watch like Dixie and I watch their content like I see them as like such fragile sort of broken young women and the show really highlighted how broken they were and I feel like immense sadness for them and like I whenever like they give me a really big pit I feel like they hate their life they hate being famous and I feel like everyone around them like their parents included like voiced it on them like they give me the biggest pit I don't know if that's the actual reality but that's really the vibe I got from that show I was surprised they like put it out because it was so honest yeah I don't think having a mental breakdown every single day and you're 16 like and your parents keep putting you to work and there's like more projects let's start a shoe

company we're starting a venture capital confirm like it gave me such a pit yeah and when I first saw it I was like I think this is really emblematic of like the mental health crisis in this country they're like the perfect example of like 16 year old girls who are spend all their time on social media of course they're literally having mental breakdowns every single day like we'll leave their room and it's like then I was also like even though it's they're having a hard time with it like things are on the surface good for them you know of course everybody likes them they're not they're not the villains they're not getting canceled like it's all good and it's still bad they can't even enjoy it right because it's so unnatural they're so young they

started so young so much was foisted on them like so quickly like I don't know I really um I have a terrible pit when it comes to those girls. I like watching that first season of that show was like really, it was a tough watch. I was surprised they put it out. Like the thing is, it kind of made the parents look like bad. They're too close to it. I don't think they can see it the way an outsider can.

And I think they, in putting it out, one, it's another job and business and we're having a reality show that's like everyone's goal these days yeah but I think also it might have been like a a cry for sympathy like you know we're people too and but I think that all the negatives as you stated outweigh whatever positives like because definitely when I saw it I'm like if I ever have anything to say about the millions like I wouldn't say like they can't handle it. Like it definitely makes you want to go just like easy.

Yeah. Not that I'm going to go hard on the D'Amelios, but I do feel like they were getting a lot of hate. And now if you've seen that show, like you wouldn't send any their way. They're also just like nice girls. And why would you hate on them? No, for sure. And also like, I think we talk so much about the mental health crisis in this country,

like the amount of kids who are depressed and suicidal. It's at a higher rate than ever. It's not normal. And this is a role model for so many young women. And it's like, look how depressed they are. And they have amazing lives. And it's like the majority of kids these days want to grow up to be an influencer. And they want to be Charlie.

They are the most successful ones. It doesn't get bigger than this or quicker. You can't be like, she's the highest in her field and so unhappy. So like, what does that say for the kids? Right, right. No, the whole thing like really gives me a terrible pit. And I feel like it's so such a small difference. Like Addison Rae being like three years older than Charlie when the whole thing happened I think like and I think Addison Rae really struggled especially when she went

through like public stuff with her family like but I think the difference and maybe it's just that Addison hasn't shared as much as Charlie has on the on the show but just the vibe that I get is like her being a little bit older like the tiniest bit tougher like saved her a little bit yeah but what about Dixie she's a little bit older and she's still having a hard time. So it's also just like your makeup. Yeah. But also how Addison's taken like several steps back, whereas like Dixie is constantly doing more. Right, and they're like just always doing new things.

Like they have a new shoe company and then Dixie does music and then Charlie wanted to do music. Like on top of being social media stars, they have a ring light line at Target, a clothing at Hollister like it's like never the 25 million dollar venture capital firm they started like it's like a lot yeah yeah yeah well that makes me even sadder that they broke up because now she's probably dealing with heartbreak too right oh and then that was the other thing from the show I felt like one of the really only it seemed like the only bright spot in Dixie's life was her relationship with Noah Beck, who was, they said on the show, like so neurotypical. Like

he didn't have the same like mental health issues or like anxiety. Social media was just like a fun job for him. Like he was so like oddly like simple about the whole thing. And I felt like that he was so good for her. And then they broke up. And it's like, I feel like probably Landon was similar. Like Landon's very used to this. He grew up like this. It's not that big of a deal for him. And he probably like stabilized a lot of the insecurities that Charlie had. And so, yeah, it is sad. Yeah. And Noah and Dixie is sad too.

There wasn't ever like, you know, one day announced. I feel like it was like people pulling back the layers. So I was in denial. Yeah. And then I forgot about it. But they were a really cute couple yeah so i hope i hope everyone's okay wishing everyone the best wishing everyone the best as always as we always do for every person except for any lennox except for any lennox we're wishers well wishers we are well

wishers are you ready for our next story? Yeah. Taylor Swift is demanding this college student stop tracking her private jet. So when it comes to dealing with a Florida college student who uses public data and social media to track the private jets of billionaires, politicians, and other celebrities, Taylor Swift apparently can't just shake it off. Taylor's camp hit Jack Sweeney a junior studying information technology at the University of Central Florida with a cease and desist letter that blamed his automated tracking of her private jet for tipping off stalkers as to her location in the letter attorneys from the law firm Venable accused Sweeney of effectively providing individuals intent on harming her or with nefarious or violent intentions a roadmap to carry out their plans Sweeney provided that letter in an email to the AP in that message she emphasized that while he has never intended to cause harm, he also strongly believes in the importance of transparency and public information. He said one should reasonably expect that their jet will be

tracked whether or not I'm the one doing it, as it is public information after all. A spokesperson for Tailored echoed the legal complaint, saying that the timing of stalkers suggests a connection to his flight tracking sites. The spokesperson did not respond to questions seeking elaboration of that charge, such as whether stalkers have been seen waiting for Swift at the airport when her plane arrived, or alternatively, if there's evidence

that stalkers have somehow interfered, inferred her location from the arrival time of her flight. So by the way, this is the same person who ran Elon Musk's account account jet and Elon Musk had actually offered him five thousand dollars to turn the account off and he was like you know 50 would be better I don't know what ended up happening at first he just pleaded with him like on a human level being like can you please stop doing this like I have such crazy stalkers like I have I have kids like and the guy was like no and then he was like okay what about five thousand

dollars I don't know how it ended but this is the same person who did that to Elon. Yeah, it was in Elon's book. And at first he was like, you know, he's a free speech warrior. So he was like the account must stay. And then he just about faced and was like, fuck principal, you're off. And he kicked him off.

He banned Elon's jet. So Taylor's having the same issue that Elon was having where, yes, it is public information through the FAA website, but I think it requires a lot of legwork to figure out and this person's just making it like so easy for people to see yeah this person is not breaking the law no and I think it's interesting like Taylor obviously wants this account taken down which she's totally entitled to I'm like her level of stalker is like she has millions. Like they're insane. They go and sleep in her bed like they're freaks.

So and I am sure that there is some sort of connection between this account and her stalkers. Like I'm sure of it. I do think it's interesting that the route she chose to take was like cease and desist and kind of like legal strong arming as opposed to just being like, what if I gave you, you know, $50,000 to shut up? Because it's clear that this person like would take money. Is it? Yeah, because when Elon offered him $5,000,

he said it wasn't enough money. Okay. But then, you know, you're- And also, this is like a college student. Like, what, $50,000? But I think it's the principle of like, you're going to pay someone a lot of money. I know, but for your safety, like,

fuck principle. Yeah, I mean, Elon said fuck principle. Honestly, Taylor should be reaching out to Elon and be like hey can you fuck principal on mine too yeah no by the way for sure I'm sure like if this doesn't go her way like she's on her way to Palo Alto yeah because he also made her unsearchable on X when those AI images were circulating so he can just kind of like do stuff you might want to be nice to Elon. Yeah. I know a lot of people like think those accounts are important

because they like highlight, you know, her carbon emissions. Yeah. We know. She's like not an environmental queen. Like we know. So the point was made. And I saw the funniest tweet because like two weeks ago, Taylor Swift, one of her like classic New York, New York, New York.

Oh my God. New York stalkers one of her new york stalkers was arrested like three days in a row each day he came to like lay in her bed got arrested and then came back the next day to do it and the swifties were freaking out they were like why isn't this guy in jail and the tweet was like oh swifties are about to learn about bail reform because like in new york like you like if you get arrested like bar like they just like let you out like it's like kind of crazy so it's like how is this person doing the same thing three days in a row if he was just arrested it's like the swifty's are finally about to meet alvin bragg yeah like

it's it was such a funny tweet but it's true like this is a violent person who like trespassed three days in a row and every day he was able to get out and do it again wait until they hear about the two cops that were beat up by the illegal migrants they're gonna be big mad so I think the account should be taken down I do think this is like an interesting route for her to take to do that but I'm sure she thought it was like the best way I wonder if she's like even involved. She definitely is. She definitely is. Yeah. I think she should talk to Elon.

And by the way, a lot of celebrities have these accounts and at different moments in time, like there's a lot of attention on them. Like there was those weeks where everyone was obsessed with the account that tracks Kylie because she was taking like 30 minute plane rides to Palm Springs and that's so wasteful.

So they come in and out of trend. Yeah. But still for the stalkers they remain on alert yeah you know they're still checking it yeah yeah yeah they stay woke you know they stay dressed and alert yeah no it's definitely there should be some sort of line yeah I don't know what it is but it's not it's not right right no and it's like yeah legally whatever she might not have a case but like what about human decency what about like what about Taylor's reaching reaching out and saying I feel very unsafe by something you're

doing would you mind not doing it and the person just being like okay like what about hello yeah what if you just called Taylor up and said I feel unsafe right are you ready for our next story which isn't so much of a story as it should be a story yeah what number is this number four yeah yeah Carrie Underwood has low key become a homesteading trad wife on her Instagram, and nobody's talking about it. We are. We shall be talking about it. It's so funny.

Carrie Underwood has obviously got the homesteading bug because she is making her own soap now, making her food from scratch. She's been sharing. Making her own skincare. Oh, yeah, skincare. She's been sharing it a bit to her Instagram. Not enough. And I don't think people are asking enough questions about what's Carrie up to.

But let me tell you, it's the least shocking thing ever. Like she would. Like she definitely lives on some sort of farm. She has like tons of land. She probably has animals. She has a lot of money. Like it's easy to homestead, you know, by choice. Like it's fun, you know.

I love this journey for her. Her content about it is so funny. She like knows it's funny too. Yeah, it's just so know I love this journey for her her content about it is so funny she like knows it's funny too yeah it's just so crazy how we're all I wonder what like big tech has invested in us becoming homesteaders it kind of seems counterintuitive but like I am only invested in this because I'm getting served it I would have never known if I wasn't getting these videos in my algorithm you think big tech has a vested interest in women becoming homesteaders? Like, no, I actually think the opposite.

So why is this happening? Right. And it's really, it's viral. I feel like it's kind of a glitch in the matrix. Yeah. Or it's like too powerful a trend. It's too powerful to stop us from surfacing. Right.

Anyways, I love this journey for her. It also like then made me check out her Instagram, which was a really fun place to be. She's got a lot going on. Like, of course, the music, the career, the glitz, the glam, denim and diamonds, we know. But she also has like a really, really popular athleisure line. Amazing.

What's called like Kalia or something. It's a really popular. No, and and people myself included just like forget about her sometimes yeah she's not to be forgotten like her hits they don't stop they don't stop coming and she's doing like a las vegas residency i would love to see i need to take myself to vegas for a weekend just to hit up the residencies but i would actually need a whole week because i want to see carrie underwood i want to see kelly i want to see christina aguilera who else is there i need to i want to see adele of course adele donnie and marie donnie and marie i don't think i can name one

I don't think Cool You know it's a It's a great time for music in Vegas Maybe we should go Oh I don't know This weekend Oh

That would be something Oh Sunday night But the tickets are wild for Vegas Oh and the And the private jets You can't get a parking spot Oh like at the hangar Yeah have you can't get a parking spot oh like at the

hangar yeah have you seen that it's all I haven't like it's gonna be hard to get your plane in there damn good thing I don't have a plane good thing that would be really hard no like that's like such a rich people problem like I never even thought about that like the private their planes the plane uh the Like they're going to park their planes. The plane, the private airport is going to be overflowing. But I feel like that happens. I mean, they should all consolidate now. You would think.

I feel like that happens at every Super Bowl, especially when it's in a place that doesn't really have a lot of private plane volume, which I feel like Vegas does. Right. I feel like actually of all the cities equipped to handle like inbound celebrities, jets, people, tourism, Vegas is probably one of the best to handle like inbound celebrities jets people tourism vegas is probably one of the best to handle it if not the best yeah i think so and they have so many hotels because usually like when it's in a city that's so many rooms

a normal city like you don't have every hotel like there's plenty of rooms there's plenty of rooms i'm glad that they won't have like a room shortage me too um before we dive into the next story might might i have the floor uh claudia of course you can the rest of today's fabulous and inspiring episode is brought to you by skims we normally find bras to be so uncomfortable and restricting they're the first thing we take off when we get home but sk Skims has totally changed that.

But my new aesthetic, my apartment's very kind of natural. I don't know if I've told you, like the vibes are very organic wood. I've got, you know, hints of olive. It's giving very kind of woodsy, very cullen, if you will. And I decided to switch up my Bowling Branch sheets. I ordered the signature sheets in, what was the color? Natural. So it's kind of like off-white. It's not white, like paper white. It's more like beige, if you will. I will. Jackie, it has changed my entire home. Like, you don't even know.

Like, I highly encourage. I know you're, you're, you love your white, but just think about it. No, I know. You told us that. And it definitely, I actually just ordered new Euro shams from Bowling Branch, but my bedding is white, so I had to get them in white. But I was feeling a little natural curious. Right, right.

It was so so did I are you ready for our fifth and final story a little and just to say I had ordered something and like ordered the wrong color like a moron gray I got gray and it just doesn't go with my new aesthetic the customer service was amazing they put like a stop check tracker like it would and I didn't even call as Cherni. I called as just girl. Just customer number 365. I was shopping.

I saw a Bowling Branch store. Do you know they have physical stores? I didn't. And I was wondering, could you walk up and check out with Code Toast? We'll have to ask them. Yeah, that should be like a fun perk. Our last story, a little royal update.

Prince Harry has left the UK 24 hours after seeing his dad, King Charles, and not seeing his brother, Prince William. Prince Harry is already leaving London. He'll be on the last train to London. That's quick. After a quick trip to see his father, King Charles, shortly after Buckingham Palace announced that the monarch was diagnosed with cancer he was spotted at London's Heathrow Airport on Wednesday after spending about 24 hours in the UK I just feel like I don't know anything I just feel like

that wasn't the plan you think he was like turned away at the door no or it was a bad conversation I'm leaving papa yeah I mean that's like it's a by the way from LA to London that's like not a short journey for 24 hours to say hi and bye I think he probably didn't book a return flight at first just wanted to feel out the vibes this is just my speculation based on you know human. And I think the vibes were negative. And he turned around and went home. That's what I think. Interesting. I mean, it's a really short amount of time for such a long flight.

So I don't know what the hell happened. I doubt he was going there with the intention of seeing William. That part doesn't shock me. But I would imagine he would have spent more time with his father. Right. And also, if it was that sort of thing of like you know time heals all this is bigger than us then no Charles would have been like stay see your brother let's be a family yeah 24 hour trip is just not giving that no it's giving bad news spares it's giving drama continues

yeah for sure for sure like this saga like with a picture we sort of painted yesterday that like Bears. It's giving drama continues. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Like this saga, like with a picture we sort of painted yesterday that like hopefully this would be the thing that brings them all back together. Him and Megan are working royals again. Like seems further away than ever. It's also giving like things just got worse. Oh, like what was said?

Yeah. Like we, they sunk down deeper. Yeah. I mean, down deeper. Yeah. I mean, there was like that recent drama with the translation of their book. Well, not their book, like the biography that they. Obie Scobie. Right. And the translation accidentally putting the name of the person who made the comment about Archie's skin tone.

So I feel like tensions are probably higher than ever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yikes. Yikes, bikes. But, you know, bon voyage. Yeah, safe travels.

Do you think Meghan and Harry will be at the Super Bowl? No. And that's the problem because like what? That's where they should be. That's where you should be. Like former royals living high on the hog. Go to the damn Super Bowl. Right.

But that's like such an American sport, you know? And she's American. She is. She is. But it just would be crazy. Like they'd be better off at like, you know, the World Cup or whatever. Of course. Which is in New Jersey.

If you're not using your clout to go to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, then you're just not doing it right. I mean, I couldn't agree more. Like if I was Megan and Harry, like I would have had a suite, a jet, and like a hotel room months ago. No, I would be getting on someone else's. I don't even care who's paying. I'm going.

I'm sure anyone would give them a ride. Oprah? Jeff Bezos. Ellen. Does Ellen have a plane? For sure. Yeah. And it's like a quick trip.

It's not even a big ask. It's so true. It's literally nothing. And everybody's going to have extra seats. Like they're just, they should be there. Today's episode is not over because we have our TV recap, which is our Vanderpump Rules recap, which was on last night, the second episode of the season. First episode, you know, wasn't great.

Second episode was better because like at least someone somewhat polarizing, Tom Sandoval. I know you're like obsessed with seeing the Sandy. It's the only, everything else, I'm sorry, is so beyond uninteresting to me. Like the restaurants, like it's just not remotely interesting. And seeing somebody so unhinged, like that's entertaining to me. Yeah, I guess.

He wasn't really even like that crazy or bad. Like the episode was not good. No, no, no, it wasn't good. But when I look back on the episode and like look at my, you know, heart rate monitor and think about the things that excited me and made me feel something. I would say seeing the way that Ariana and Tom live within the one house with the assistant was appalling. We spoke about the state of their rooms, which is not acceptable, but the way that they communicate through that poor woman who is so ill-equipped, like she's not

a alpha type of personality she's obviously like soft-spoken maybe even a little shy how did she end up in this situation how did she get here how did she get out like she's not the right woman for the job no and I feel badly for her you know she probably was applying for a personal assistant job And she became like a divorce mediator You know but she stays in the job so I did relate to like her sending off that text message really quickly And then Tom changing his mind Like that's so me I'm so quick

That's so you that's so not me Yeah like that would that would happen to me Like you said you told me to do something so I did it Sorry bye But I appreciated that she did that Because Tom it's like your words Like you said something you can't undo it yeah and actually I didn't really agree with um Lala sort of taking Tom's side you did agree no oh I I agreed with Lala I felt like she was being

irrational I think like him saying I'll send you at a hotel is like beyond unreasonable and insane and I get Ariana being like indignant in this birthday party. But the more I learn about like their financial situation when it comes to the house, like Ariana is being a little too prideful. Like I understand what she's saying. She's like, you ruined my life. Like I shouldn't be uprooted and have to find a new place to live. But if he is willing to buy her out and her only reason for saying no is because like on principle, she's really only doing herself a disservice like because she's living like a slob like a slob she can't even stay at her residence with her new man she's shooting herself in the foot like to she's making so much money she could get a better house to prove this point to someone who a point is he's

gonna miss it and as Lala said like he's getting off on making you uncomfortable like she thinks that leaving is like gonna be too easy for him and that she's sticking it to him by being there like he doesn't care either way and why wouldn't you want a clean state why would you do this to yourself the way the state of limbo that she's living in like I don't relate to it at all and I and I she's lost me on this I I don't understand it don't understand how Tom can buy her out when he was saying he literally had to move like five hundred dollars a thousand dollars just to pay his band and that's the only reason he was going on the tour even though it felt you know like in such an inopportune time he needed the money which I do believe but like

and he did put he put more than Tom Schwartz into Schwartz and Sandy so that over five hundred thousand dollars like I do believe he has no money. So how can he even buy her out? I don't know. Not my problem. Not my problem. But like maybe he, like I don't think that's even like an actual realistic option. I think he might still have savings.

Even if he put close to a million in the restaurant. He's been on the show for a very long time. If he, and he doesn't seem like he spends outlandishly aside from his band that's like his passion project he could have more savings okay yeah yeah um so I think that's like a like a mistake on Ariana's part like she's just so um like being stubborn about it and she's wrong she and she's only doing herself a disservice yeah because you can't move on if you're still like if you're still caring about like punishing the other person. Right.

And living, I mean, it's just, it's obscene. I cannot believe that that's how they were living. And I think how they're still living. I also oddly found, and I've been finding like one of my favorite characters to be Sheena. She went from being just like so fake and like insufferable to being so real. And honestly, like I just love her in Brock.

And I just love her. Like she's really a sweetie. She's really a sweetie. I agree. Like I stan. I do too. And I really like her in Brock. And they have a very nice family life and I like watching

the family stuff from everyone yeah I could live without you know the birth charts and the zodiac readings from Allie well yeah that's not even I don't even know what that is so dumb um sad to see pump go you know a local institution but I thought Lisa's reasoning for it was like very reasonable yeah and like I wouldn't consider Lisa's you know restaurant discography to be a flop she's like opening a million more restaurants in Vegas like those are the real money makers she doesn't need four restaurants on the same street in West Hollywood yeah and I'm with like it's you have to know when it's time to say goodbye to something like yeah all good things must come to an end rather to end it with dignity right right and

like the fact that people like showed up for it like it was cute and the rent's going up like it's dollars and cents it's dollars and cents like this is a business not a charity yeah and it's also like you don't keep your business going just to like preserve your reputation if it's like losing you money right right and it's really not an integral part of like the vanderpump universe not at all I think they tried in the beginning I couldn't believe all those scenes that were filmed there I'm like oh why were they filmed there because when it was opening like it was a big part of the storyline and then like Tom worked the bar and they were like they're right they tried on Vanderpump rules they tried to

make it a part of like the show's ecosystem but it wasn't natural and it didn't work and I think the restaurant probably suffered because of that because it wasn't like a place you would go to see vanderpump people you would go to sir right and then that wasn't changing right and tom tom is what pump would have been but there wasn't enough of a tie-in makes sense to me yeah so it was time yeah it was time um but like other than that i don't have any thoughts on the recap. Like it wasn't interesting. No, I found it boring, pleasant to watch. I'll keep up with it. Cause I'm sure there's going to be meat at some point,

but I, it was just like, start, stop, start, stop. Yeah. Um,

so that's our show. Correct. It's just like disappointing. Cause we finally got like back into something and we're both watching it. And it's like, nah, yeah, no, like we will continue to do your do to do deer toasters on thursdays like until the show becomes you know untenable yeah but i'm gonna give it a beat they're finding their new footing it's hard you know you have to bring sandoval back into the fold but like what he did

was so horrible and people are so mad i had forgotten about sheena's other song and that music video that was insane oh my god that music that was oh my god claudia i was shocked i literally had forgotten about that it's it's a sex tape yeah literally it's skinamax it's insane and what was crazier about at the time was like that guy brett was hooking up with was it Dana? Dana. Who is Sheena's friend so it's like oh I'm gonna tap this guy you're hooking up with to me in my music video and it's this. Like the thing is Sheena is a complex gal and we have just you know witnessed her growth and this honestly I feel like this episode that really honest conversation she had about like OCD with her motherhood and like with the flashback to like the girl she used to be like, I just

feel like it's emblematic, for lack of a better word, of the journey she's been on. Like it really highlights like how much she's changed. Honestly, she should be very proud. Yeah. And the theme of this episode, it's growth. It's growth. Change is positive. But it was shocking to look back on that.

I had completely forgotten. That was something that happened. And it was such a low production value. Like it really was giving Pornhub.com It was a porno. Yeah. With your friend's man. Which was what? Beyond.
