Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Chosen Happy Tuesday. Hope everybody's having a great day. Speaking of greatness, it's Jackie O. Why, thank you, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la. La. Fa-la-la. I know I sound like a broken record.
Starting point is 00:00:22 I know everyone's sick of me and my bullshit. But I'm about to gouge my own fucking eye out at this point. My eye twitch is worse than it's been. Like today's the worst day it's ever been. And it's really starting to piss me the fuck off. Now I'm getting angry. You know, I'm thinking,
Starting point is 00:00:36 you know, I could live without this eye. Give it a shot. It's been a whole ass month. I'm being punished. What did I I do did you look into it I did I did all the things I've been taking magnesium I drank tonic water I'm trying to like cut back on blue light like I don't know what the fuck it is I just feel like you shouldn't give it the attention that it wants and maybe it'll go away like Like kind of starve it of attention. Okay, like no, because that's not a thing
Starting point is 00:01:07 and it's bothering me. Like if you ignore it, it might just go away. And it definitely gets worse when we're podcasting because the bright lights like cannot be good for it. That I do feel when I have a migraine. It's just, sometimes, honestly, I'm team, like you never let me turn my lights off, but I say turn your lights off. Turn them off. I'm team like you never let me turn my lights off but I say turn
Starting point is 00:01:25 your lights off turn them off I'm about to get an eye patch like I think I need to wear an eye patch for a few days well you should have done that a month ago by the way I think I said that I wanted to wear an eye patch and you were like telling me not to because like you you said I was just doing it so I could make it my personality oh well you well, you would be doing it to make it your personality. But how are you going to wear an eye patch and it not be your personality? I need to go pick one up. They sell them at like Green Read. Arr, matey.
Starting point is 00:01:52 You should 100% in the show could use an eye patch. I'm always pro patch. You are. When someone, yeah, when someone's having like an eye issue, like throw a patch on it. That's hysterical. It's hysterical. And I also think eye patches like really work.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah, no, they do. It's a reason why like it's oneical and I also think eye patches like really work yeah no they do it's a reason why like it's one of those like medical remedies that's been around since the dawn of man right still around like it's it's like very simple physics let's see if I can order one on gopuff I feel like they would have one your eye needs a break right give it a break how about a patch no they don't are matey but you have to say are matey i mean the tiktoks i'm gonna go reels from the show i'm getting an eyepatch you're so behind on the patch you know what julia yeah i was thinking the same you can instagram one i think there's a duane reed on the corner maybe we should just go grab one for immediate relief yeah let's have an eyepatch by the corner. Maybe we should just go grab one for immediate relief.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Yeah. Let's have an eye patch by the end of the show. An eye patch by the end of the show. That's the goal. By the way, now my eye even feels better just knowing there's a solution on the horizon. Not me podcasting with a pirate. Do we need any snacks while we're out at the pharmacy? Get Pirate's Booty.
Starting point is 00:02:58 No. We're good. That's it. Thank you. But I thought you were going to take it all the way. What? Your pirate persona. Pirates wouldn't eat pirates' booty.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Pirates eat, like, their own shit. Like, they have nothing. They have no resources. They don't eat their own shit. You know what I mean? They're still human beings. No, but they, like, there are pirates, like, thieves. Yeah, so they pillage the goods.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Right, and when they fall on tough times they eat their own poop no that's not a thing just like Theo did when he was really young we discovered he was malnourished because he was eating his own poop do eating do that's so Theo so I am at this place in my healing where I cannot stop making video montages I saw, I was watching one right before we started. Like I try and find the saddest song. And like, I just am so, like I have so much content of Theo. Like even though he was only with us for six years, like six years is a long time in life.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And he was such a beautiful, I know everyone's like, my dog is beautiful. Yeah, sure. My dog was exceptional looking. Maybe one of the most beautiful dogs like to ever grace the planet. The way people would stare when he walked down the street. like I knew he was special looking and I know everyone says that but like really we all know Theo was like extraordinary looking right yeah but I like I
Starting point is 00:04:14 feel the exact same way about Shai Sam like no of course everyone does and I really wonder if every dog parent yes thinks that their dog is the most beautiful thing to grace the world. Yes. But the difference between me and them is like, I think that of course, cause like I'm his mom, but also because it's true. Like, right. But would all dog parents say the same? Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Because like, I know that when I would walk Theo down the street, every single person would turn their head. I walked past some dogs on the street. I don't give them a second look like. Right. No, same. But like, I, I, everything you're saying, I feel the same. No. And by the way, I, Bruno was also very, very beautiful, but, and he's definitely more beautiful than most dogs for sure. But he's not more beautiful than Theo. Well, I, I don't want
Starting point is 00:04:58 to get into this because it's just, well, let me just get back to my point of why I brought it up. Just, I didn't mean to, you know, pit dogs against dogs. But he's so beautiful. I spent so much of my life just filming him because I was aware of his beauty and in awe of it. So I have found, you know, stitching those videos together and making little montages for my TikTok and my Instagram. I have found it to be really healing, honestly. Like I go and find the saddest song. Yesterday I made one to Rainbow by Kacey Musgraves. And that song, that one actually made me a little too sad.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Because when we were in the waiting room, like, I was singing to Theo. And I started singing Rainbow from, and not in the waiting room, sorry, in the actual, like, euthanization room. I started singing Rainbow because I was like, what's the saddest song I can think of right now? And that was it. And the words were, like, very appropriate. So that one, like, I kind of took the montaging, like, I montaged too close to the sun. Understood. So that one, like, I kind of took the montaging, like, I montaged too close to the sun.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Understood. Well, I feel like it is kind of meant to be an emotional self-harm where you're just trying to, like, excavate and, like, poke at the wound to make it hurt the most. It's emotional self-harm, yes. But I also think that is expediting the grieving process. Like, the more tears you cry, the sooner, the faster. Like, I feel like you have to cry a certain amount of tears. Like, whatever the allotment is. Yep. So if you get it all out sooner, you can move on faster.
Starting point is 00:06:12 I mean, I don't know if that's true, but I hope that it is. Yesterday, I actually had a fine day. I only cried once. The tub is really triggering for me. But, like, I'm not giving up my tub. When I got out of the tub, I started crying. But then I was fine. Ben had a bad day yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Like, he was really in it. He like kind of snapped at me because I like asked him to go get me frozen yogurt. And that's just like, that's our thing. Like I asked for stuff and he brings it. Like it's, we've never had an issue with like this whole setup. Like it's perfect. And he just kind of snapped at me. And I didn't get mad because like I knew exactly, like he was just taking his anger out on me.
Starting point is 00:06:44 And I do that too. So I wasn't get mad because, like, I knew exactly. Like, he was just taking his anger out on me. And I do that, too. So I wasn't even mad. But I knew something was seriously wrong when he kind of, you know, revolted against the order of our home. Right. But it's like Ben's not feeling like himself. Therefore, he cannot perform typical Ben duties. I know. But, like, I'm performing my typical duties.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Like, literally, the other day, I noticed Ben was out of body wash or like about to be. So I got new body wash and I got like a new one. I wanted to see if he would like it. I got Nivea, you know, something different. And he didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:07:16 And I was like, by the way, do you like your new body wash? He's like, yeah. Why? I'm like, did you want to say thank you?
Starting point is 00:07:20 Or like, did you wonder how this no body wash just falls from the sky? You didn't know. Yeah. I'm like, did you wonder how this big full- No, body wash just falls from the sky. You didn't know? Yeah, I'm like, did you wonder how this big full container of body wash got into your shower? Let alone our home. But I put it in the shower too. No, it fell down from the sky because God knew he needed more body wash. So I haven't been more derelict in my duties.
Starting point is 00:07:36 So go get me ice cream. Go get me ice cream. But sometimes it's not tit for tat. Sometimes one is down and the other leans up supports ben was down yesterday so like i was kind of like the strong one which i haven't been so he deserves it that's really beautiful he needs time then we watch gossip girl and we got us out of our funk loving watching gossip girl it's been very healing as well oh that's all i hope for you turdy lou is healing one day at a time one day at a time that's what they hope for you, Turdy Lou, is healing. One day at a time.
Starting point is 00:08:06 One day at a time. That's what they say, and it really is true. You take it day by day. You really do. And now I think I'm at the point where I'm, like, really itching for another dog. Like, I feel like something's missing, and of course that thing is Theo, but knowing that I could partially fill that hole, I'm like, why aren't I doing that?
Starting point is 00:08:23 You will. Like, you're literally going away next week. Like give yourself a second. Me and Ben were also thinking about names. How fun. How fun. I would love some suggestions. I gave you two amazing suggestions.
Starting point is 00:08:34 What was it? Sheffield. Sheffield, yeah. Well, Jackie gave me the idea to, because the thing about Theo, and I loved Theo's name, but it's actually a name like I might consider one day for a child. And the fact that I took it for a dog and took it out of the running, it wasn't cool.
Starting point is 00:08:47 It was too real. So Jackie was like, why don't you choose a name that you would never use? Like maybe a name from a TV show. So that got me thinking about shows that me and Ben have been obsessed with. You suggested Sheffield from The Nanny, which I love. And I also suggested Harvey from Suits. Oh, well, you, I suggested Harvey, but you gave me the platform to suggest Harvey. Really?
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah. I wish our FaceTimes were recorded because, like, how this show is, because I have no recourse. I know, but I also really want to figure out a way to name him after Louis Lit, but what am I going to name my dog Louis? You can't even spell Louis or pronounce it most of the time. So true, Louis.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And then you'll be like, Louis. Even though I do like the name, you would have to spell it L-E-W-I-S so there's no confusion. Yeah, but that's, no offense to anyone listening with that name. Like that's an ugly name. Stop.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Not if it was for your boy. Yeah. So any name suggestions, maybe Dorota if we get a girl, you know? If you get a girl, that's cute. But I do want a boy, but I'll take what I can get so I'm trying to think from your other I've got it I've got it are you ready to Sheldon Sheldon
Starting point is 00:09:54 Shelly Shelly and Shelly Shelly Sheldon well that me. Yesterday was probably one of the craziest days of my life because of Jackie. So every year on Patreon, we do this one episode and it's called The Vast Five, where we basically do a recap of the year, where we do our top five. Best of 2023. Fast five of our favorite albums, songs, TV shows that we watched, books that we read. And it's just kind of a nice way to end the year recap thing about all the things we went through this year, all the things we watched this year, all the things we consumed this year. So we recorded it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:10:32 It was great. And Jackie gets up from her chair. We're sitting just like this. Jackie gets up from her chair and she's like, oh my God. And my first thought was, oh, she was pumping during the episode. So she probably got up and like forgot her nipple things were on and like spilled the milk everywhere which is like liquid gold I'm like oh fuck that sucks I really felt for you in that moment but what came out of your mouth next was so much fucking worse than that yeah oh my god I wasn't recording my eye was twitching I was like you weren't recording now in that, I had two options. I could have been like so mad.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And I think I would have had every right to be. But a part of being a podcaster is this happens. Like whether you like it or not, whether you have the best technology, whether you have a thousand people in the room, this just happens. So I don't know when the last time it happened to me was, but I know it'll happen to me in the future. Maybe, you know, tomorrow, maybe in five years. I know my time is coming and I want grace and I want someone to,
Starting point is 00:11:31 you know, not hate me, even though they have every right to. You shall have grace. I actually feel like I remember we've never had, we've never done a whole episode and not had it. We've sometimes done like half an episode in someone's garage van quits when we used to do like our old remote setup. So we'd have to start like 30 minutes in. Yeah. That's like the last time that that happened. I also remember when we first got our, that like, it's called a zoom box. Remember when we used to do Patreon episodes with those mics, like half the time it wasn't
Starting point is 00:11:59 recording. It was like not there. So it's been a very long time since we've had that feeling. I was literally doing so much yesterday and today. like I'm just booked every minute and I'm like always just doing like two things at once I was pumping and podcasting and something slipped through the cracks and like I just I didn't if you were mad that we had to do it again like I'm doubly mad like I had this hour carved out yeah we have to do it again and it was we did do it again it wasn't so bad the thing is is sometimes we do an episode that like really we got magic in a bottle like we just
Starting point is 00:12:33 randomly went on a tangent ended up with like the funniest little bit and I actually didn't love my performance in that first episode my eye was twitching and I was feeling really sad about Theo so I was just kind of like letting the podcast happen around me and I wasn't that upset about the content that we lost I was just obviously upset about the energy I exerted for that and then having to do it again so of all the podcasts you have to like have lost yeah and as we were saying on the episode like for that episode in particular we make an outline where we like do and we never have an outline for a show we never have a script but like we just had to like go through the outline again so it was the best episode to have to lose but oh my god and then we inadvertently wound up podcasting for three and a half hours yesterday right because we did three hour plus
Starting point is 00:13:15 episodes yeah but the thing is it happens and just know it will happen to me I I would rather have been you in this situation, not the one who's at fault. Just the victim. I guess, yeah. That's like the worst feeling on the planet. Can I just be a victim? Yeah, I guess I was.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Searching for victimhood. I was the victim. Right. Like you just, everyone feeling sorry for you, mad at me. Well, we ended up recording an even better episode. So everything happens the way that it was meant to happen. And that episode is now available on the patreon if you're looking for our year
Starting point is 00:13:47 at a glance check that out that'll be great today's tuesdays we've just got good stories correct yeah yeah three strong two weak oh you know we talked about this on the scrapped patreon but we haven't talked about it on the regular toast. And I actually do want to get your take on it because there has been some drama in the UK, London, British drama between Molly Mae and Tommy Fury. I had seen it on TikTok unfolding. Essentially like a couple of weeks ago, this video got posted and it went super viral. Tommy was out of town.
Starting point is 00:14:19 So like Molly's at home with the baby and Tommy was at a club and somebody like did a video just panning of the booth and all the people in the booth at this club. And weirdly, Chris Brown was there. And the next to him was Tommy Fury. And in the video, he appears to just being like playful with a young gal. Now, he wasn't kissing.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Nothing outright wrong. But it was like flirty, playful. He gave her like a little push. Like, ah. And then the video moved away from them. And obviously, the internet went into a tailspin. Because so many people like you like stan these two they like think they're the best most in love couple I don't know that much about
Starting point is 00:14:48 them I really only know what I know through you but give me your take I need to find the video because I'll send it to you right now I didn't really know about this until Claudia told me someone messaged me like did you see the Molly Tommy drama and because I hadn't seen anything I just assumed like because they weren't together for a long period of time people assumed there was drama so Claudia told me there's this um thing of his you know being I just texted it to you but based on everything that like I think that I know about them like I have a lot of faith in the bedrock of their relationship and he really I mean I would be shocked at anyone are we like on a FaceTime oh oh my god I'm not okay what because on my phone it says I can join this FaceTime so I literally go on FaceTime so I said
Starting point is 00:15:31 are we on a FaceTime we are wait watch the video and then as you watch video I have to correct one thing I said yesterday when we were recapping oh you see it no this is nothing and if I was Tommy like that girl is annoying okay Jackie says it's nothing it's nothing i mean the thing is like why is he out at a club when he's like barely at home because he's always training so it's like if you're not training like you're home now he also is a brand ambassador for a lot of things so maybe these are part of his duties of going to events and stuff but that girl like taking his face and pushing him. Like maybe I'm just someone who hates having my face touched. But like the restraint this man is showing.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Like get the fuck out of my face hoe. Okay Jackie says it's nothing. That's the vibe I see. Jackie says it's nothing. Like this girl's being like thirsty and annoying. And he gave her nothing. Okay. That's that on that. But I'm also you know a Molly Tommy apologist. I go
Starting point is 00:16:27 hard for my favorite chips and I can often be wrong and in denial. Do you want to hear the craziest thing? Just look at me. Don't look at anything else. Okay. If you had to guess how long we've been podcasting this morning, how long would you say we've been talking? Oh, I guess I did just look at the clock, but I would have said 10 minutes we're already at 17 minutes like that really flew by time is a social construct yeah so I guess we did have the whole eye patch thing I think Molly and Tommy are okay I think it's like an embarrassing look for Molly and then you were saying like people are talking about how like Molly's life is like totally changed since she had the baby and Tommy's really hasn't I think they're okay like the way that Tommy talks about her the things that he has said
Starting point is 00:17:10 I I think he's a faithful man I really do and I I would be shocked if there's any fire near this smoke okay now I really quickly wanted to correct myself. Something I said yesterday when I was going off about my football rant. I mixed up two things when we were talking about Patrick Mahomes. So I was telling the story about how he was being like a big crybaby and going up to the quarterback afterwards and like, you know, crying about the call and the flag. And I said Travis did that. I meant Patrick.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I just got the names confused. But it was Patrick. I just wanted to correct that. And the LAR played the Ravens, not the Lack, even though they're the same thing to me. The eye patch has arrived. Our matey turd-y-loo. Oh, we got two different options.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Oh, okay. We have the traditional, you know, black on a string. But then they make new breathable ones with no string. No. Black on a string. Black on a string. Like, it's giving SpongeBob. It's like the mousetrap. Like you can't build a better mousetrap. You cannot build a better eye patch. Okay. I'm taking my headphones off. One second. Okay. Turdy is putting on her eye patch. Our matey.
Starting point is 00:18:21 She's having a difficult time that I think it's gonna oh there it goes okay gorgeousness I mean like make sure you're comfortable because I'm not right you don't look comfortable I think it's kind of upside down okay I was thinking it's upside down too hold on yeah the string string. I wish she could hear me because the double string, double string. Okay. The double string. Yeah. Yeah. On the same way. I did. I think so. But is there two strings? No, there's just one. I'm okay. I just, now I'm learning. I don't think my right eye has very good eyesight. Give it a second to adjust. It's never been on its own before.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Also, am I supposed to keep my eye closed in this thing? I think it's dealer's choice. Whatever is more comfortable for your eye as it takes its little hiatus. Okay. It just doesn't look right or comfortable or sustainable. And we need it to sustain because we've got a lot to do today. We haven't even cracked the Fast Five story. So she's, yeah, there are double string. It is double string.
Starting point is 00:19:35 There's not double strings. That looks better. How does that look? That looks much better. Okay. Yeah, because the string is like more parallel i have a question for you at such an angle yes are you ready kids i i turdy i can't hear you i i turdy oh oh without further ado to-do, it is time for the Fast Five Stories that you need to know.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Oh, God. I got one eye. Okay. Ready? The Fast Five Stories that you need to know are brought to you by State Farm.

Starting point is 00:20:31 personalize your entire day just like we do. Because what's more personal than podcasting? I mean, what's more personal than comedy? What's more personal than poetry, than food? So many things in life are personal. And State Farm understands that because State Farm has big, toasty energy, BTE. And insurance is even more personal. Take Jackie and I, for example. We are so similar. We finish each other's sentences and sandwiches. And even we have such distinct insurance needs. Like Jackie's a homeowner. I'm not. Jackie has dependents. Theo's dead. Clearly, personalization just makes everything that much better. State Farm believes that insurance should work the same way. Your plan, your coverage, your selections can all be personalized to you.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Prices vary by state. Options selected by customer availability and eligibility may vary. Let me try that one more time because I know Jake from State Farm is like, Turdy, that was not good enough. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Starting point is 00:24:56 Our first story, Zac Efron finally gets a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I feel like we manifested this. to star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I feel like we manifested this. We're always talking about his accolades, his canon, his body of work, his catalog. So he got his star. He made a really sweet speech thanking everyone who helped him along the way,
Starting point is 00:25:15 including Kenny Ortega, High School Musical, Go Wildcats, Matthew Perry, 17 again. It was the perfect culmination of not only Zac Efron's career but like of pop culture. Like I always find it so interesting who people bring to speak on their behalf to the Hollywood Walk of Fame thing.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Like usually people bring other celebrities. So him having Miles Teller, Jeremy Allen White, like okay, he just wanted to collect like the hottest men of Hollywood and have them there. Love that for him.
Starting point is 00:25:42 What is he, oh Miles Teller, he did that awkward moment with. Oh, I was wondering how they knew each other. That's it. I forgot about that. I forgot about that, too. I'm glad that they remained friends because they played such good friends in the movie. I wonder if they're still close with Michael B. Jordan, too. Oh, I wonder that. I couldn't figure out how Miles Teller knew him. So thank you. And then Jeremy Allen White and him are in a movie that's coming out soon about wrestlers oh I didn't know that either I was like I wonder how this band of brothers got together but I just figured when you all live in Hollywood and you're all so hot you just find your
Starting point is 00:26:14 way to one another yeah you would think but I feel like it doesn't happen as often as it should well this is a moment where just like things are right in the world and I appreciate that I loved his speech I loved loved loved that he brought Kenny Ortega. Because I feel like, you know, out of all the high school musical people, he acknowledges the franchise the least. Some of them acknowledge it too much. And sometimes you wonder, like, does he hate it? But like him putting respect on Kenny's name, on the franchise,
Starting point is 00:26:40 for obviously catapulting him to fame. I just, I thought this was so beautiful. And then him mentioning Matthew Perry was so sweet, like so like unnecessary. Honestly, I don't think anybody would have said anything if he didn't. But it was really sweet. Yeah, no, he really hit every point. I didn't see the whole speech. So like, I do need to know if he mentioned like Greatest Showman and Hairspray, but I didn't see any headlines about it. But he also said he sings high school musical songs in the shower. And he said, wildcats now let me ask you a question in your opinion what is Zac Efron's greatest film cinematic achievement in my opinion objectively or
Starting point is 00:27:18 subjectively in your opinion as Zac Efron or the movie that he's in like his role like Zach Efron okay so not Philip Carlyle in Greatest Showman honestly you know Greatest Showman was the best one I have to look at the catalog 30 I need to do my research I need to educate myself because I think I would say hairspray I'm tempted to but I want to just make sure. He should have had Nikki Blonsky there. He should have had Nikki Blonsky there. That's the only way it would have been better. High School Musical.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, like three, Troy Bolton, doing the most, High School Musical. Okay, she said what she said. I think I'm going to stick with Hairspray. But I also just want i feel like there's one or two other movies that i'm forgetting musicals no just good neighbors he was very popular for i saw that i i blew right past it i feel like this eye patch is impacting my ability to speak i don't notice a difference, I feel like I'm literally stuttering.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I feel like he was in something really good. Hold on. He was in Baywatch, not really good. That was probably a low point for him. I'm dead. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:28:39 But he has a very impressive... Oh, yeah, like Mike and Dave need wedding dates. I'm just breezing past all these things. He was in, you know, The Lucky One. I think that's Nicholas Sparks. He's in a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:28:49 But his best work remains High School Musical. I love him. And then Hairspray and then Greatest Showman. Now, I hate to be one of these people because it's just rude. But I am curious. Do you know what I'm gonna say why does he look so different like I hate when people are like who is that especially with like women but like he does look so different I feel like every once in a while there's like a picture of him that's like oh my god the tech- No, Jackie, he does look incredibly different.
Starting point is 00:29:26 At his walk of fame, yeah, he looks a little different, but not as like, for lack of a better word, crazy, as some of those pictures. Yeah, yeah. But like, what happens? He's had some work done, okay? He's had some work done, right? He got a little crazy, yeah. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Listen, we've all been there. But to me, he's like still the most, like the most eligible handsome man on the planet. Oh, I love him. I love him, too. But he's not. No, I love him. And he just like keeps beefing up.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Yeah. I need him to like get his ass back to the theater. Like I need him to do more musicals. I know. But he's doing like his big hunky roles right now. And he also did like that Netflix show where he almost died right he's really into that wilderness stuff like Bear Grylls yeah go back to dancing put your tap shoes on Zach I just I I just love that he still has love for it let's say even though he's a man of the wilderness now, he will always look back fondly on his days of tap dancing.
Starting point is 00:30:27 And your Hollywood Walk of Fame like really is supposed to be like a culmination of your entire career. So I do feel like you really nailed it with like having Kenny Ortega there, which is a nod to his dancing shoes. Having Miles Teller there, which is like a nod to those movies. He made a bunch of movies that were all really similar, like rom-com vibes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And Jeremy Allen White to the future you know yeah past present and future yeah he has a brother that looks familiar is he an actor no but he's always like going viral for having a brother that's funny wait no he has an imdb just wait doesn't mean he's famous just he's a producer and executive. Okay, so he's not in front of the... Oh, he worked on Zach's show, Down to Earth, with Zach Efron. Oh, that's nice. That's so cute. Siblings who work together.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I love Zach Efron. Maybe we'll be them for Halloween. Okay. Shout out, Zach. I love Zach Efron. Like, I just love him. No, I love him. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:31:21 You know what I would love? What? Memoirs of an Efron. I feel like he has a lot to say. Mm-hmm. And I feel like his experience, like real peaks and valleys in his career, like from after High School Musical
Starting point is 00:31:39 to all the movies we've just remarked on, I feel like there was highs and lows. And a lot of times where he's had to reinvent himself yes I probably also felt very like pigeonholed and typecast as like this teeny bopper and then he tries to be the rom-com guy and he did that successfully and now he wants to be like the leading man buff indie guy doing that successfully yeah no that's such a good point I just feel like he probably and he's also just been a list for a really long time and that always makes a good memoir, a memoir. I did finish Kenan Thompson's memoir last night. I can't lie. I did skim through like a bunch of it. It, when he got to his SNL stuff, it was really,
Starting point is 00:32:18 really interesting. Also just like little tidbits about SNL, like how much you make. Everyone signs a seven-year contract and they can let you go at any time but if you if they keep you on like every year you get like a little incremental raise and then after your seventh year I think is when you can like make a lot of money but like a lot of the castmates have like they subsidize their yeah their salary movies they know I mean not most of them aren't movie material so they do like stand- and like, you know, comedy and different, they write different things. Anything that doesn't conflict with SNL.
Starting point is 00:32:48 But a lot of like the early years where you're not as famous, you're not making a lot of money and you can't really do huge projects like movies. Yeah, but I feel like when an SNL person is making a movie,
Starting point is 00:32:58 it's like they get all SNL people. Like a lot of the SNL cast members, they all kind of like ride together and they're supporting actors in a lot of different movies. Like members, they all kind of like ride together and they're supporting actors in a lot of different movies. Like I feel like there are roles for you and opportunities like just abound when you sign on to SNL.
Starting point is 00:33:14 So my takeaway from Kenan's book is, I don't know if I would recommend it. He is a P-job. He's so, and I think that makes, that's what makes his book like not super, super interesting. He's just like a really normal, really nice guy. Now he's at the stage of his life where he's just like a really normal really nice guy now he's at the stage of his life where he's really just a family man he's trying to get
Starting point is 00:33:29 healthy you know it's not like titillating you know no one's doing cocaine or you know or he's just not telling you about it no he says like he says when he spoke to potty's just like i'm not like that like at snl i mean oh not him it doesn't seem like he's you know no he's really sweet he grew up like very normal too you know um so there wasn't like crazy like I always compare to like Jessica Simpson like the way she grew up was so nuts you know there wasn't any of that he just like loved his family his family loved him really supportive mom dad and brother really supportive community in Atlanta so it was like nice but boring got it that's good boring is good boring is good that's like I think he he probably has like the most healthy work-life balance of anyone in Hollywood you hope so yeah that's what his uber driver says so are you ready
Starting point is 00:34:15 for our next story his book did corroborate what a lot of my uber drivers have said I would hope so I would hope that his book would make him look like a good guy. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm. Vanderpump Rules trailer just dropped. Yes. Did you watch it?
Starting point is 00:34:31 I did. I mean, everyone's talking about that one thing. Tom Schwartz Sheena? Oh, no. Lala. I don't know someone who gets broken up with and becomes God. Well, I didn't see anyone talking about that. I watched the trailer right before we recorded, and that line just stuck with me it's true okay okay so everyone is saying like it's giving
Starting point is 00:34:50 jealous because you know Randall cheated on you and you didn't become God and you didn't go on dance with the stars I didn't even think that what I was thinking it's like well Lolly you're one of the people who like made her God like all of the cast members like Ariana literally God is queen yeah and God is a woman now you're mad that everyone's treating her like God when like you were treating her like God for sure but I like I kind of agree with what she's saying like it is insane what happened to Ariana when Ariana got cheated on which is horrible but like so many people get cheated on and don't make millions of dollars yeah no when she said that I was like oh wow someone's saying it and it's someone's Lala
Starting point is 00:35:23 who's like obsessed with her she She must be really like on one. Right. But she's like hyping her up. So how do we get here? She's been hyping her up. Right. Like, and everybody was doing that. And now I guess they're mad about it.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I didn't even think about the Lala being cheated on thing. Maybe I'm just like naive and I trust people's intentions, but I don't think that's what she meant. But from an outsider's perspective, I can understand how haters would be like, you're just jealous. Jealous. Right. I don't think that's what she meant. But from an outsider's perspective, I can understand how haters would be like, Gary does jealous. Jealous, right. I don't think she's jealous. I mean, I might be.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Yeah, but I feel like Lala got her pound of flesh from Scandival. I mean, Lala capitalized probably the most out of anyone with the podcast, Send It To Daryl. Yeah. Because Ariana like wasn't speaking out and she was letting people like Lala. And everyone like gave it their best effort to like monetize and capitalize on Scandival and
Starting point is 00:36:08 I think that at the end of the day if you look at the balance sheet Lala did the best after outside outside of the principal characters right yeah so Sheena did good too so I feel like things have to probably have hit a fever pitch for like Lala to be complaining about it. That was tea to me. Also then the fact that Schwartz apparently one time made out with Sheena in Vegas when he was dating Katie. It seems like, but this could also just be what the trailer is making it seem like. It seems like that might cause an issue between Brock and Sheena. Because I guess that would be kind of weird if you've made out with someone in your friend group and you never told your husband.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Yeah. I don't know with this particular like in for normal people yes with this particular group I don't know I don't know if that's the reason why they're fighting on the sidewalk also there's a woman who is in a love triangle with Katie and Schwartz she's kissing both of them. Oh, I miss that. Right? That's what I thought I saw. Oh, that's interesting. And what about Timothee Chalamet?
Starting point is 00:37:12 Who's that? Katie? No. Timothee Chalamet. Who's that? Sandoval? Timothee Chalamet. From last season.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Oh, Satchel. S satchel i forgot his name how could you forget satchel i just know that he looked like timothy challen satchel is nowhere to be found unfortunately right and that's why the season doesn't have what it takes and that's why the season will not be winning an emmy the thing is this season actually looks pretty good. Considering how do we have anything interesting to talk about after Scandival. There looks to be like some dumb typical stuff of like why are Ariana and Tom living together? Why is Tom filming? Oh we're drawing a line in the sand.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Blah blah. So Ariana was on Watch Happens Live explaining why they live together. They own the house. They both paid for it. She wants to sell it. He refuses. So she is now in the legal process of trying to force him to buy her out because he's forcing her to stay there. Like you bought a house and you're not going to live there.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Like that's your life savings. No, I. But she did say for the last couple of months while being on Dancing with the Stars because you filmed somewhere else, she's been living in like an Airbnb. I like agree on principle. Yeah, that's your money's in the house. But like, how are you living in the same? Like, even if you have to go stay with a friend
Starting point is 00:38:29 and concede the house, just so you can like start your life with, I couldn't look at that person every day. For sure. I also have to imagine like a lawyer would advise you not to leave the house. Yeah. And then also she said something about,
Starting point is 00:38:44 you took my house and I i'm gonna have my house and my and my children did they make embryos they had started they were talking about it they did something she froze her eggs but did they make embryos i don't know because as far as i knew they did not make it to the embryo stage but if she's saying that and they have embryos together that's crazy and then that's you know so crazy. And then that's, you know, Sofia Vergara. That's like a long legal road. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:09 And it's like, does she have eggs that aren't part of those embryos? Oh my God. That would suck. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. The thing is,
Starting point is 00:39:20 I want to, this is just not even based on the trailer, just based on what we know. I do think this season, I would say like the last season, while obviously that's when Scandival happened, I felt like they dropped the ball in a lot of places in terms of like footage and just filming. And so I think there's actually a lot more potential for this season.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Yeah, the aftermath, like what, I think that based on the trailer, like we have a season, a good one for sure. Yeah, for sure. So that's exciting. And it comes out the end of January. So like I'm a little over a month away.
Starting point is 00:39:55 That's not bad. Not terrible. No. Cause they released the Bridgerton trailer for may. Well, that's a great segue to our next story. Bridgerton season three sets a two-part premiere in spring of 2024.
Starting point is 00:40:07 But this is what we get for the strike. Spring, don't be giving me seven monthly time for a trailer. Nobody needs that for a TV show. I agree. Bridgerton is returning to Netflix in 2024 with the third season of the period drama waltzing onto streaming in two parts. The first four episodes will premiere on May 16th
Starting point is 00:40:23 and the next four will be available to stream on June 13thth don't even i'm not getting started on not bingeable content after they conditioned us to be binge watching content no and it's like june 2024 like i don't know who i'll be then i don't know where i'll be like this is insane yeah and i'm not saying like they're not moving quick enough like Like I understand the strike really impeded their. Keep it under wraps then. No, it's insane. And the trailer was like such bullshit. They used like a bunch of social media TikToks talking about Bridgerton with like three scenes from the actual season because they don't even have it filmed yet.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Why are they doing this? I don't know. There has to be a reason. It was like a fake trailer. What are they worried about that we're gonna forget about bridgerton i guess that's weird there's something something is afoot you think it's my eye patch no i think your eye patch is amazing. Is it helping? No. Not at all. But I like who I am. I think it gives the show another layer and dimension that we need.
Starting point is 00:41:32 And think about our clips from today. People are going to be like, why is Turdy wearing an eye patch? Like the engagement will be off the charts. Agreed. We have to only clip from eye patch on. Off the charts. Off the charts. Very, off the charts. Very good, Jax.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Very good. Thank you. Are you ready for our next story? It's our fourth story. It's our fourth story? It's our fourth story. No, I'm not ready. I didn't think you were ready,

They will wake you up by light. It's basically like mimicking a sunrise. And so the light will very slowly and gradually come on for 30 minutes before you're actually set to wake up.

Also's not for this picture um also a bit of what seems to be a photoshop fail in the picture did you see this of prince louis finger
Starting point is 00:47:11 i'm on my way i don't know what i can't imagine they would really need to like photoshop these pictures but maybe he had like a snack in it that was the only way they would like get him to stand still yeah kid maybe that's true and we would like get him to stand still. He's a kid. Maybe. That's true. And we also know that he's, you know, not. He's a little rascal. He's a little rascal. But you have to see the kids look so grown up. It's shocking.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And the world is shocked. Like that. These pictures are like going viral. People can't believe how big these kids are now. So let me take a look. But also, let me tell you why Charlotte's getting roasted. Because she did like a holiday event with like an official, know family thing she's wearing the same coat she wore last holiday but i feel like people like that they do they do i'm kidding it shows that they're relatable
Starting point is 00:47:54 oh he's missing a finger he's missing a finger it seems that's like really obvious yeah i this is like a gorgeous photo first of all these kids are just gorgeous Wait but also Claudia If you zoom in like really really close It kind of looks like his fingers like taped down Maybe they had to tape him to the chair LOL I don't know what's going on with the finger But let's look past that for a moment Let's look past that because it's distracting
Starting point is 00:48:18 This is so modern You know it's so edgy and very like editorial It's very the opposite of everything we get from them Which is so traditional and like kind of stuffy But at the end this is just giving Calvin Klein it is giving Calvin Klein but it's still just like a family portrait you know like it's really not that crazy but it does feel modern I can't get over George and Charlotte like he looks like King George like he's kingly he looks really like his father did at that age with the big hair like it's amazing he has no hair left he should get on that minoxidil stat um he's a very
Starting point is 00:48:51 very handsome young man he's gonna grow up to be you know really really something beautiful yeah but he's also just like becoming a young man and knowing his pose he's like he looks like a person like yeah no he's a person now and this Charlotte is such a beauty oh like it's they're just a beautiful family and I'm just surprised at like the regularity of this Christmas card like I feel like I got this one in the mail from someone I know you know it's so simple yeah but so elegant but so elegant there's something so elegant about it very refined I love I don't know if I've ever seen Kate Middleton in jeans.

Starting point is 00:49:42 She loved, you know, a button down and some jeans. That's a stretch. I feel like everybody's always that it's a nod to Princess Diana. She loved, you know, a button down and some jeans. That's so strange. I feel like everybody's always saying everything is a nod to Diana. I mean, literally, like, button down and jeans is, like, classic family picture look. Yeah. It's very American, though. Don't you agree? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:56 I'm not complaining, but. Plus, like, the sneakers on the kids. So cute. This is really 10 out of 10. 10's across the board.

Starting point is 00:50:49 on his immense wealth and real estate properties to his gardener has sparked intense speculation who choose a fifth generation descendant of thierry's air maze who laid the foundation for the luxury fashion house in 1837 commands a considerable share in the now $220 billion valued company ranking among Switzerland's wealthiest individuals. Allegedly his initiated legal proceedings supported by a formidable legal team to formalize the gardeners adoption, which forms a crucial part of his revised estate plans. The guard,
Starting point is 00:51:21 how old is this man? The, the air gardeners 51, the air is 80. Okay. Clans. How old is this man? The heir? The gardener's 51. The heir is 80. Okay. The gardener is reportedly married to a woman from Spain with two children of their own and stands to inherit a significant portion of the fortune,
Starting point is 00:51:35 which includes acquiring substantial properties in Marrakesh and Switzerland valued at $5.9 million. Now, what's the speculation? As to the motivation? Yeah yeah you said there was speculation oh well so the if you look at pooch's history provides a glimpse into the motivation behind this atypical choice for his heir a bitter rift emerged in 2014 when lvmh acquired a substantial stake in air maze sparking an acrimonious battle within the family. Pooch's departure from the company's board amid this turmoil signaled irreparable discord with his kin. He resigned because he felt he has for years beleaguered
Starting point is 00:52:13 by members of his family who have attacked him on several fronts. Oof. Oh, victim mentality. His unconventional plan faces formidable challenges, navigating complex legal hurdles for an adult adoption, an exceedingly rare occurrence in Switzerland. Reports suggest requirements for such adoptions demand a prior relationship during the adoptee's minor years.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I don't think that happened here. He had previously committed his fortune to the Isocrates Foundation, established by him to combat misinformation. Oh, that's vague. Now he's trying to retract this pledge, which might trigger a legal battle akin to past family feuds. This guy kind of sounds like a mess. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:52:52 no, like he's just like always changing his mind and the law is reason free from passion. That was just why he started the I Socrates foundation. Yeah. I don't know. That foundation is giving me goosebumps. Not in a good way. Like
Starting point is 00:53:05 I just like, it's very general. The, Oh, the, Oh, the, the foundation for misinformation, combating misinformation, like in what sense? Yeah. It's weird. I like, I'd rather the gardener have it. Yeah, of course. But also if you're so willy nilly with your fortune, like break it up, give some to Socrates, give some to me. Give some to the gardener. Give some to the poor. I don't think the gardener was going to get everything, but he was going to get a lot. And I think in order to give it to him, he has to adopt him, which is just kind of funny. That is weird that you can't just give your money to whoever you want to.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Maybe not when you have like family ties who are ready to snatch it back from you because they already were pushing you out. Probably because you're a weirdo. You know, he definitely sounds like he's the problem 100 yeah and is he dying or he's just making plans for the future i think making plans i didn't see anything about his state because then also he's 80 that would be called into question like you know if he was so true now he was wanting to adopt a 50 year old like grandpa's lost his mind he'll have to make a video testament like i am of sound mind yeah today december 12th 2023 i have bequeathed i'm no first i have i'm adopting my gardener right right i thought when you were saying like that his motives are suspicious like there's you know theories
Starting point is 00:54:23 and rumors that they're lovers, but then I'm like, he works in fashion. Why would anybody care if he's gay? Yeah. So maybe that's not it. Maybe they're not lovers. I don't think so, but this is interesting.
Starting point is 00:54:35 And you know what? It's beautiful. I hope this gardener gets the money. I love that. For his family and his children. Right. And his legacy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Where does the guy live now? Switzerland. Got it. Okay. Huh. Yeah. And he doesn't have any children? No.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Not married. Nothing. Hmm. Well, he will have a child when he adopts his gardener. Oh, well, now he has a child. Right right right yeah the adoption is just it's just weird that that's the law but I guess it kind of makes sense and it's just like funny that it's called adoption when it's a 50 year old it's actually so true can you adopt a non-minor I well like one what's the point you know because right they could just
Starting point is 00:55:25 choose to hang with you all the time. Some people do it for sentimentality. Like I see that on TikTok sometimes. Like someone's stepfather when they're 23
Starting point is 00:55:31 decides to just adopt them because like legally it's like a meaningful thing not like anything else. that's sweet but yeah. It says here
Starting point is 00:55:42 there's Swiss law that like unless you had a relationship as a minor, you might not actually even be allowed to adopt a grown man. Oh. So the law is not reason free from passion. Well, it is reason free from passion because this would be his passion. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I guess Aristotle is always right when he spoke those immortal words. Yeah. Okay. Those are the past five. I guess Aristotle is always right when he spoke those immortal words yeah okay those are the past five and I want to say I don't think this eyepatch is helping in the slightest I'm sorry to hear that you want to know why?
Starting point is 00:56:18 I needed something oh you know what?
