Good morning, Millennials, and welcome back to The Toast. Happy Tuesday. That was supposed to be the kickoff to Swirly Summer episode in the Hamptons. It still is the kickoff to Swirly Summer episode in the Hamptons. However, some of you, you know, a very small percentage compared to the overall share, might realize there's no video today because the video equipment has not arrived in a timely manner none of our equipment has arrived in a timely manner thank god ben soffer brought this travel microphone or else we'd be screwed um sisterhood and i'll tell you guys what happened

i know literally nobody cares about me tracking my ups package but like i coordinated all of our equipment to be delivered the day we arrived ups man like fake rang the doorbell and ran away i was like oh they weren't home to sign. Really? I was home. I was literally home. I've been tracking him all day long. He's supposed to be here.

He keeps pushing it back. So we just figured it's better to get out the episode. Audio only to you guys. And tomorrow is going to be our big busing video episode. You're not going to want to miss it. It's really killing me because this is a situation where I really want to blame someone. Um, and obviously the person to blame is the UPS driver. I don't know the UPS driver. And the next logical thing is Ben. Ben has been so helpful, like trying to like chase down the UPS man. I cannot blame him. And it's this horrible feeling of having all

this anger and nowhere to put it. I don't know who to blame. Like obviously the person to blame is the UPS driver, but like, he's just doing his job. And like, what does he owe me? He doesn't know that what's in that box. Like my livelihood depends on it. Yeah. I think the best thing to do is to release the anger. No, I literally can't. I think after this episode, if you still have anger, which I don't think you're going to have anger after this episode, because that's what we do here. Restorative properties. We could take a boxing class. We could go play tennis. We could play play pickleball we could go for a run we could we could do something really strenuous to take the anger out of la turt because swirly summer has commenced and there's so much to discuss we've been here less than 24 hours so many things have

happened and it's just not how i envisioned like the kickoff episode and as you know i take my responsibility as like set coordinator extremely seriously and any anything that goes wrong I feel is a reflection on me and my work and it's just it's not how I wanted to kick off swirly summer and I apologize to the youtube swirly specifically well it's great that you have a very lackadaisical co-worker yeah boss who said turdy take your time you know good things come to those who wait and the way that I feel is like not everything is going to run smoothly all the time. I know. And you're due for hiccups along the way.

No, I don't. No, no, no. But like I feel like things that, you know, Beacon was smooth. Yeah. Things are smooth. Yeah. This is the hiccup. Yeah.

We will live. Well, and that's sort of what I was saying yesterday. Like we are survivors. We will get through this difficult chapter. We are talking so close to each other because we have one microphone shared between the two of us. I'm up Terti's vagina. Should we take a selfie just so people can see what we're working with?

We're in this corner of my bedroom. We're literally kissing on the lips. And we have one microphone. Ben brought it. I don't know why. And when we were packing, he was like, should I bring this? I'm like, no, I'm literally having a whole studio's worth of – I have four microphones coming because Ben's going to be using the studio

that I set up. I was like, why on earth would you bring this little travel mic, which I love and has been great you know it's been good to us but why would I need it when I have I brought two Shure microphones from home I rented more like and he was just like I don't know I just feel like I should throw it in and like I hate that mentality but and I hate even more that that mentality like proved to be effective I have something also not I don't know what's more infuriating, like your predicament or what I'm about to share with the class. And I think people are going to be like, are going to gasp.

Smile for the selfie. Three, two. We're taking a selfie. Okay. That'll be today's post-show picture. Later, early. Something equally frustrating and actually more of like a kind of a long-term issue. It's going to be an issue for longer than the podcast equipment.

I'm so glad we're talking about this. You like I'm so upset and this is one of the situations who are you mad at yourself myself however I know I heard you finding a way to blame your husband last night it's a good one it is just listen just listen I left my sourdough starter in New York at our hotel and I didn't realize until we were halfway to the Hamptons I had someone run to the hotel and try and get it but the room had already been cleaned and like it was gone no obviously like housekeeping saw this like jar of guck and they threw it out yeah where they or they took it down and they were going to put in lost and found but like it was out of the room and I wasn't going to send someone on a wild goose chase through like the innards of the hotel looking

for a jar and also once I got my jar of guck like do I even want it after it's been like on a journey on a journey so so what are our options here so our so we just need to process the fact that I brought my sourdough starter all the way to New York I've been practicing I just posted a vlog yep of me so excited all I talk about in the vlog is how I need to practice so much because I want to give you guys the best bread possible and everyone here is like looking forward to it we've kind of been like relying on it we didn't buy any bread we're starting a sandwich shop we didn't buy any bread we literally did not buy bread for the home we're like well we have a starter yeah so you've kind of screwed us I screwed everyone and what I'm going to do so I could start a new starter but it takes five days

to be active and it would be a young starter when it's like I have a mature starter I do have discard in my fridge at home and Olivia Asheri has been tasked with getting it to me let me ask you a question you can just leave this shit like for months and weeks at a time in a fridge not it's supposed to live out on the counter but when you put it in the fridge it becomes like stable got it and it buys you time okay so yeah when people need to go on vacation you leave your starter in the fridge and then when you take it out and feed it once then you're back and then i think it begs a question from the non sourdough community why don't you just make a new starter it takes five days to get your starter up and going and we don't have time like that the older your starter is the better it is for like

the more active and fermented and so i would be like it wouldn't be my best breads yeah and i could that's what i was going to do until I remembered Olivia could bring me starter yeah it's definitely like an annoying thing to ask someone who's traveling with two children if you'll bring your jar of goop but you know one man's jar of goop is another man's sustenance so here's how we're gonna blame my husband oh yeah I'm so jealous that you can like I can't in a real way and it's like I'm trying not to because I would be too mad yeah but when we were leaving yesterday we were packing up the kitchen and everything and I wasn't packing the kitchen as much as I was putting all of the food into snack containers like slicing all the fruits and taking like some chips out putting everything

into like snack canisters for the road trip. So I never like did like one final taking of things from the kitchen. Right. But he did. Final sweep. And he was standing over the fridge, blocking the door, the fridge door where my starter was. Where you could have seen it. And he said, do you need anything else from the fridge?

And I was like, no, because I just saw like an old chicken there and watermelon. So I said no. Okay. We carried on because I didn't, I forgot about it. And then yesterday when I was like, by the way, when you asked me that, like, did you see my starter there? He was like, yeah, that's why I asked you. Do you need anything from the fridge?

Yeah. It was like a trick question. He should have said like, don't you want this jar that you literally fucking putting your Burke in to bring it up to New York so we would have bread for the summer. Okay. Okay. Listen, listen, I, I truly see both sides because was it a manipulative way of asking the question yes but like in his defense like I get to see him saying like I saw the starter I asked her

she didn't want anything else in the fridge like because I thought it was weird he should have pushed harder because you were because you were doing too much you were packing up the kids like next step of like I think this is important to her she literally feeds it every day she's constantly videoing herself with it yeah it's sitting why would she want to leave it in the fridge door yeah it's a mason jar from our house we're just gonna leave this glass jar with a special rubber band yeah he was just not in tune with what was necessary but in his defense it wasn't his job to be like it's my job yeah and there's like of all the things going on at the time where you're like packing up your whole family the sourdough and it's sort of

collateral but it wasn't a priority like getting everyone out in a timely manner and all the suitcases packing naps and car seats like that's in hindsight like there's nothing worse I could have left behind everything else is replaceable I mean you could have left behind one of your kids like by accident everything else is replaceable I know even if I left behind a stroller I have other stroller a crib I have other crib. Like Margo's coming out. We actually couldn't fit everything in our car. She's taking some things.

Right. Everything else like Margo could except for this perishable item in the fridge. It's devastating. It is. It's devastating. But we need to look forward. And all I wanted this morning was a slice of sourdough with cement. Same.

Same. But we need to look forward. We are. I am. I am. I'm not someone who like gets. Harps. Same, same. But we need to look forward. We are. I am, I am. I'm not someone who like gets- Harps, yeah. And harps on things that I cannot change.

I'm just like, how do I fix it? I'm a solution-oriented person. Olivia. Olivia's literally on her way. Yeah. And the other thing is I would start a new starter today just in case Olivia forgets, you know? But I don't even have my bread scale, mason jars, wooden spouts.

I have nothing. Olivia is bringing it. Have you communicated with her like step by step logistically no because I believe she's gonna call me when she's at my house which is around now so it's great that my phone's on do not disturb while we use it to do a backup recording no we have so many imminent like things coming in once if the UPS comes while we are recording like I swear to god I'm storming the UPS headquarters yeah like they will hear my wrath well we're starting this episode with a bad attitude considering it's swirly summer I mean

how can we not after what we've been through I know first the equipment then the sour well first the sourdough then the equipment it's just a lot and it's been a lot you know moving into a new home is always going to be a lot like yeah yesterday was was our big travel day we're here for a couple of weeks so we unpacked we got everything together we are slowly you know coming back to it and making the place our own making the place about us like we literally might as well travel the way they used to like back in the day with rugs lamps furniture like we are remember when marjorie post brought her on like marble for her home in moscow like that's us no when they like were on the wagons on the oregon trail like people had like should everything they own should we keep our rug or not that's literally us we move in with

everything we bring blankets we bring pillows we bring cookware we bring knives you know ben had to bring like a million he brought our le creuset pot like oh yeah i needed the le creuset pot for the bread that wasn't but we also need like all new cookware like shout out to slave city cookware that's coming in clutch it's a kitchen in in a box. This is really where Jackie and I rely heavily on our sponsors. Right. We reach out being like, hey, we're trying to make this house our own.

Do you have any blankets you want to send? Like I, that's where I feel like I really abuse my influencer power in situations like this. It's true, but we also can't even do it until we're here and we have to see what's good that they have. Like maybe they have good towels.

Yep. Nope. Okay, Brooklinen, like what's up no we reached out to brooklinen we worked out we reached out to mickey couture we reached out to slave city i reached out to hoka i got some new sneakers for everybody in the house like i am abusing my power as an influencer for this trip because if you're not going to then like seriously what's the point yeah it's true if you can't shower the ones you love and free gifting from brands then seriously like you shouldn't do this job.

No, and often brands send gifts when, like, I have everything at home that I need. And I don't want it or need it. And I already have your product, and I love it, and I'm good. Thank you. But this home could use your product. Correct. So we'll be situated in about five to seven business days. Just in time for the trip to be over is when we will officially, like,

have everything we need in this house, you know? No, we literally travel like aristocrats from the Gildeded age we seriously need to calm down because we are not aristocrats and we also like we need to just sort of aristocratic influencers with a free wagon of stuff title we we also we need to kind of take our own advice and bloom where we're planted like yes do we have the sharpest knives? No. Do we have a cutting board? No. Will we be okay? Yes. Because like I said the other day, we are survivors and we will get through this and we are huddled over this microphone. We will have back issues for years to come due to the extenuating circumstances of this podcast session. However, it's all for the greater

good. It's all for the art. So I hope you enjoy this episode. I hope you share it with a friend. I hope it wasn't all for nothing. And I hope that, you know, you're enjoying your swirly summer and that maybe your swirly summer is off to like a little bit more of a cohesive start. Yeah, and maybe this is our karma

because we've been like bragging. We've been obnoxious. Like we're going to have the best time. Sucks to suck. Yeah, like eat my ass, bitch. Like eat my dust, literally. And now we've been humbled this is giving this podcast setup is giving like 2018 toast please don't say that no no no not

no in a good way of like just being like industrious we're scrappy like we started the toast in 2018 we actually went out to the hamptons for memorial day weekend and we had just started our patrons we were like doing podcasts we had like our our Patreon, so we were, like, doing podcasts. We had, like, our little Zoom podcast equipment, not Zoom communications. Yeah, or Mixer. Zoom technologies. Yeah. Different companies. And we were doing our best.

And I think we're going back to our roots. And that's just kind of, I'm so glad you brought that up, a point that I really want to stress to our community out there, especially those who, you know, like to leave nasty comments when things don't go 100% right. Like, we are doing our best. We are all doing our best. I think we're our own toughest critics.

It's true. It's true. That's definitely true. We have a high bar. Do you think maybe we, in like a subconscious way, self-sabotaged? Like, I think if we never even mentioned any of this. Yeah, we just said like, hey, we're busy. Today's episode is audio only.

Or we're just like, today's audio only, you know, whatever. Once again, our transparency and our authenticity is destroying our careers. It's going to be the end of us. It our kryptonite it's the thing that makes us strong but it's also the thing that's gonna ruin us it will result in an untimely death of our careers because we don't seriously shut the fuck up like why couldn't anybody and by the way 97 of people who enjoy our content enjoy it audio only like our numbers comparatively from youtube to podcasts are so it's like not even real how few people listen on, watch on YouTube. No one would be the wiser if we just said like, here's today's episode.

And we could also do that like more often. But we, but that's why we have the connection that we have. We could have even done a whole summer. Of this. Of audio. But that's why we have the connection that we have. Like that's why, you know. The community.

The community shows up in the way that they did at the Beacon Theater and that the way that they will at the West Hampton Beach Performing Arts Center July 10th 17th 18th and 25th not on your birthday sorry July 11th 18th 17th 18th and 25th like things are the way that they are for this very reason you know and and I feel blessed and life is with is not without its challenges and thank God that we have each other during times like this. It's true. Times like these you learn to live again. And thank God we have music to usher us through this challenging time.

I don't feel like we've been listening to enough music. We haven't because there is Sonos in the house and I could not for the life of me figure it out yesterday. Okay. I think we need kind of the soundtrack to our summer. Yeah. And I think it's going to be Luke Combs summer summer summer or should it be high school musical too yeah the thing is is and I love these kids more than anything you have to share like the music rights with them okay but we there is common ground high school musical high school like

hairspray they sometimes it comes on in the shuffle after Moana they love Lion King and I actually really really enjoy that new soundtrack from the newer movie I guess so far the soundtrack hairspray they sometimes it comes on in the shuffle after moana they love lion king and i i actually really really enjoy that new soundtrack from the newer movie i guess so far the soundtrack has been we know the way from moana that's just like their hyper fixation song like every three days it's a new song that's on repeat it's only a three day so enjoy it while it lasts i like that one to be in the way is there one or two there's only one so far moana one oh i get confused with frozen what is there like six frozen there's two and a half frozens because there's also olaf's frozen adventure right which is the number like harry's never seen frozen one or two he's only seen olaf's

frozen and it's super pop super pop you learn i guess i i guess like olaf is for the boys oh that's sort of how it's happened in our house like and anna and elsa are girly like the supporting characters and olaf is the star i love that and i think leave i really likes olaf too that's just how it's like naturally shaken out they gravitate towards olaf i like that yeah i think olaf's a good role model for these kids like obviously he promotes a really healthy body positive positive image. Um, he sort of leads with love and he does lead with love. He's super positive. I would say he does border on being like toxically positive because he kind of has no grip on reality. And I was reading like one of his books to one of the kids. Like it was really frustrating. He was like, look at all the snow. And there was literally no

snow. Like he's kind of like delusional and mentally ill. He's extremely mentally ill. And like he doesn't, he's so excited about summer. And it's like, Olaf, summer's not for you. Like you're not a summer swirly. But having said that, he leads with love. He does lead with love. Also promotes a love of fruits and veggies. Right.

Of course that carrot knows. And also like Olaf and Sven, it's giving like Harry and Bruno. It is. It's also just giving like loving the skin that you're in, you know? Yeah. Like you might be different obviously because you know you're made of ice. But that doesn't mean you're any less deserving of equality, love and joy. Yeah.

Like Olaf's going through his own stuff too. That's for certain. I think the thing with Olaf because like he never like accepts reality. Like when a reality hits him in the face. Like he crashes and burns. He doesn't know how to pick himself back up. I'm going to make a grand bold statement if I may. About Olaf?

About, yes. Okay. Donkey from Shrek walked so olaf could run they're like the dumb sidekick animal yeah i think if you look at a lot of kids movies you'll find there's always one maybe but donkey like is the sort of pioneer of that archetype of that genre yeah but we'd have to go back further I'm not interested in doing that we'd have to go back further my foot's falling asleep change position no I'm really I love that about you like your solution orientedness but sometimes like a girl's just gotta complain and I never do so okay but you're just like sitting cross-legged no I'm sitting crazy like I can't feel my legs you're sitting like a lady oh it's just a lady I'm glad you brought that up it's a part of my new life no but I'm saying like. Like, I can't feel my legs. No, you're sitting like a lady. Oh, it's just... She's a lady. I'm glad you brought that up.

It's a part of my new life. No, but I'm saying, like, you're sitting with your legs crossed. Why are you uncomfortable? Because my foot's falling asleep. Like, have I not made that clear? Okay. Why is your foot falling? Like...

Because my legs are crossed. Okay. Like, now they're uncrossed. I feel the blood coming back. You know when your foot gets, like, cold because the blood's coming back? Oh, my phone vibrated. Please be UPS. No.

Or is it Olivia looking for me? It's coming back oh my phone vibrated please be ups no or is it olivia looking for me it's not okay hopefully she can like surmise that i'm recording hopefully she can like jeopardize my opportunity to get starter yeah well i wrote in our group chat you said if she's looking for me i said we're podcasting for the next hour if the doorbell rings please let me know so olivia will know that we're podcasting you think she'll be able to surmise? Okay, let me talk to text. Olivia, if you have any sourdough related questions, we will be done with the podcast in an hour, period. Done. I love talk to texting.

Yeah. I will say like one gripe I have with our iPads that have become such important technological advances in our show is I don't have talk to text enabled. So whenever we're like quick Googling, searching something during the podcast, I have to type and I'm not a good iPad typer. No, I rely on like telepathy from my iPad. Like I put in bleep, bloop, bloop, and you better fucking know what I meant.

It's not really an iPad thing. It's a Google thing. And Google is absolutely incredible at reading like my mind. And I know there's a lot of kind of hot button topics that people are like, you know, controversial things about Google and like data, whatever. If they're going to take my data, but also read my mind, I am okay with that. No, like take what you need as long as you're giving me what I need. Right. Take what you need. It's a give and take.

Yeah. Well, we do, you know, have a job to do and that's to deliver an incredible slate of content, which I'm never worried about. What's this if we haven't done that for the last 20 minutes? And I was going to say, I already feel like we're off to a great start like saying Olaf leads with love like that's a very funny statement like we're extremely creative and I'm just I know there's a bright future for us even in this dark time I never doubted it for one second I did okay well that's insane yeah um so now without further ado to do here are the fast five stories that you

need to know and the fast five stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by State Farm. So when you get a new car or new home, the first thing you might find yourself saying is, okay, how is this real? Um, but really the words you want to be thinking or singing are, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Because State Farm is just synonymous with life, you know? Like things happen in life. You know, like things happen in life.

You move, you get married, you move in with your mans. And State Farm is there for you through all different stages of life. State Farm is there with the coverage that you need for your car, for your home, even boats, motorcycles, RVs, and things of that nature. You know, things in which that matter to you. With a State Farm agent, you know someone is there to help you choose the coverage you need. With so many coverage options, it feels good knowing that you can find what fits for you. And when you need ways to help, State Farm gives

you options there too. So maybe you're a really tech advanced swirly. Maybe some of your friends refer to you as the IT department. Well, State Farm knows, you know, that we need things done and we need them done quickly. So you can talk to a State Farm agent on their website. You can do it via the mobile app, you know, very technologically swirly things.

halfway through this book that you paid for and whatever. Kindlevella is like, oh, let's see if you like it. And if you do, you can unlock the whole story.

Are you ready for it? I am.

Prince Harry is in a bit of like an awkward situation okay i saw this so prince harry's sb award is drawing backlash from pat tillman's mother i love pat tillman i just want to say that of course every year i'm like reminded because like they do something for him at the sbs and it's just you know they don't make men like pat tillman anymore i feel like as a country there's not much we can agree on. But respect for Pat Tillman is one of them. So that's why this is like really awkward. Yeah. The ESPYs announced that the 2024 Pat Tillman Award for Service

would be going to Harry Windsor, the Duke of Sussex, to recognize his impact on the veteran community through the Invictus Games. So it's like sports and service and veteran. Okay. Veteran. I see that. It's's like sports and service and veteran. Okay. Veteran. I see that. It's not like out of random air. However, Pat's mother, Mary, Mary Tillman told the Daily Mail that she was shocked by

the choice. She said, I'm shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award. There are recipients that are far more fitting. There are individuals working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans. These individuals do not have the money, resources or privilege that prince harry has i feel that those types of individuals should be recognized now do me a favor tell me the last couple of years who's won the pat tillman award so last year it was the buffalo

bills training staff for their yes of course demar hamlin of Hamlin. Of course. Let's go to... Like, do they go with big names usually? Or is it used as a spotlight for somebody we might not, you know, know is doing amazing work? I, probably a mix of each, but let's go to all of them. So in 2022, it went to Gretchen Evans. And who's that? Who's that? That's a good question. Us Weekly.

The Pat Tillman Award and who got it before? Thanks, thanks queens i love when people just do the work for us so 2018 was jake wood he was an offensive lineman for the wisconsin badgers and he enlisted in the marine corps after september 11th oh wow so that feels right that feels like you know a good a good use of the award. Then 2019 was Kirstie Ennis, and she was a former Marine Corps sergeant who was involved in a helicopter crash, and she had her leg amputated. Oh, wow. Then in 2020, Kim Clavel. She left her career as a professional boxer

to return to her roots as a nurse when COVID pandemic hit. Okay, so more often than not, it's not big names. No. And it's usually people connected to sports I guess Invictus Games is like the sports connection yes yes and the veteran connection the connection's pretty good but yeah it is everyday people who you would never really hear their names except for this award and what they did and then that Gretchen Evans she was a retired army command sergeant and um she

founded Team Unbroken which is an adaptive racing team of mostly veterans who have experienced life-altering injuries and they compete in the world's toughest race so it's similar to Invictus Games again except she's a no-name person so I feel Mrs. Tillman's gripe I don't disagree although it's important that I recognize my own bias. Like, I personally despise Prince Harry. Like, that's a place I've gotten to over the last couple of years. I think a lot of people were like, Meghan, Meghan. When I, you know, engaged in some of their content, I learned that Meghan is not the problem. Like, it is 100% Harry. And like, I actually hate him. And I love Pat Tillman. Right. And I love the ESPYs and it's like honestly Harry

is everywhere in American culture like can you leave us the fuck alone like leave the ESPYs alone I agree however I have so many so many thoughts first I just want to say like this is more so on the ESPYs for putting Harry even in and I'm an I'm not a Harry hater no I'm not a Harry like I'm not going to defend him but I feel like he didn't maybe he campaigned for this award but like he can't make them give it to him so it's like the espies for putting him in this position giving him an award that he's really not right for agreed and two I hear what she's saying it always has gone to ordinary people who've done extraordinary things now I do think it could go to an uh a high profile person who's done extraordinary things like even if it was like JJ Watt he's done

so much service and he's an athlete I don't think we'd be hearing from Pat Tillman's mother no so for it to be Harry and she's right someone like so divisive and controversial and even JJ Watt yeah he's privileged now but he just like had a normal life yeah like yeah of course Prince Harry has done charitable work he's been giving everything it's literally his job to do charitable work I agree and I don't know if his charitable work exceeds his level of privilege. You know what I mean? Like there are wealthy people who go above and beyond the call of duty. Part of being wealthy is like doing charity. Mackenzie Bezos is one of those people who's like gone above and beyond, literally giving away all of her money. Certain people go above and beyond. Maybe those people

are eligible for awards. I don't think Harry's philanthropic efforts are so great compared to his position in this world do you know what I mean yes like he's an actual prince yeah so I feel as though she's not wrong for this and also do you think that she should have say in who gets the award yes if it's gonna be in your son's name like yeah you can't just be like throwing it up and giving it to anyone it's also like a really delicate matter like he was playing in the NFL after 9-11 felt you know pulled to fight for his country and ended up enlisted in Afghanistan and was killed was killed so it's a highly sensitive subject too and I don't think um I I don't think Harry's right. And also, call me crazy. Don't you feel like it should go to somebody American?

And where do the Invictus Games take place? I thought Invictus Games was like a UK thing. Yeah, or maybe Canada. Or maybe it's like around, maybe it moves every year. But it's definitely not an American thing. I'm just looking it up because I hadn't heard of it. And I also think, as we said, Pat Tillman is so beloved what's not to like and like associating yourself with him is a good look for a person I just don't think it's fair that he's now doing PR posthumously doing PR for Prince Harry

yeah it's on the website but again it's on the espies they gave him that award yes yes so Prince Harry's in a very awkward situation and I think for one of the first times, it's like not necessarily of his own making. So the Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event first held in 2014 for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen, both men and women, serving as veterans. It was founded in the UK. The chairman, the founding patron is Harry. The chairman is Lord Alan of Kensington. Like, it's a very British thing. Yeah.

Not that it's not worthy of, like, but. The award's not going to the Invictus, it seems. It's going to Harry. Right, right. Invictus. Oh, I guess it took place in America in 2016. It's kind of like the Olympics. London and then Orlando, Toronto, Sydney, Netherlands, Germany, Canada.

Like, it moves around every year. Mm-hmm. Cool. Cool. So I just feel like that's an awkward spot to, like, wake up in where, like, Pat Tillman's mother is... Is coming for your neck. Yeah, and she's not wrong.

No. So, like, it said, it said you know waiting for response from comment from I don't think he has anything to say about this there's really nothing to say to like you know a grieving mother who's like angry at your association with her son also didn't they go to the espies last year more like why are they at the espies did they that feels familiar because they don't go to the things we think they should go to and so why go to the espies and like maybe that was him campaigning for this yeah thinking if he associates his name with pat tillman's the americans will like him but it's not working honestly it's a good strategy though like pat tillman is really like america's you know hero beloved springing across like you

know it's bipartisan bringing people from the sports world and no whoever came whoever came up with that idea, like on his team, being like, we need the American people's love. Let's give me the Pat Tillman Award. It's genius. They didn't account for Mary, though. They never do. Yeah. And I think I read somewhere that in the past,

she has known who's going to get the award. And this was the first year, like they didn't tell her. Or not the first year, but they didn't tell her this year. And she knew last year. Interesting. She always is, you know. In on it.c'd on the email as she should be she's pat tillman's mother right so the sbs air on july 11th most of you will be at our show in west hampton and by most i mean like point zero like three of you percent but another major cultural

event and we'll be giving out a competing pat tillman award that night so make sure to tune in and if you could give the pat tillman award right now to someone so it's had someone in sports and service yeah someone who like actively um that goes above and beyond for veterans it doesn't have to be just veterans oh it doesn't like demar hamlin and oh right okay so like who did a lot this year i need to think oh i would give it to no no i need to really think of all the sports and all the people and who do we love but not even like just because of us yeah and i really don't want to like discreet like it's a big it's a big thing yeah i don't want to just like one i'm not making a joke but

two i don't want to say someone like small potatoes that no and there's also like a lot of people who it could go to it's not like harry was like the only person doing anything. So like, all right, we'll give it to him this year. Like there were, there are a lot of worthy people and I'm sure people we don't even know. That's the whole point of the award. That's the whole point. Yeah. Yikes. Yikes. Are you ready for our next story? I am. Hawk 2 is making headlines again. Oh yeah. So country star Zach brought hawk to a girl on stage for his revival he always brings up someone from the crowd on stage but then also she did her first public appearance on plan brie uncut podcast which is zach bryan's girlfriend's podcast and it looked

as though they recorded it the same in the in the back room yeah back room thousand percent same night as the concert thousand percent it was hawk to was night out I don't know what it is and maybe it's like I'm at this place in my life where content like this no longer serves me but like I'm not under like I I understand hawk two I like how she became famous she like did this viral video the thing went viral yada yada for me it's not like giving but I I think that maybe I'm just like I moved past this do you know what I mean yeah I have to be honest I've not even seen the original video and also like I'm not mad at Hawk too no I'm just gonna call her HT yeah please for the sake I'm not mad at HT it's more so the culture

like the fact that this girl's just like a man on the street in an interview and like she said something and everyone's lost their marbles over it and I actually like the fact she's been like offline since this happened. She said she was already like not on social media at the moment. So she's moving in an interesting way. With the UTA signing. And like not in a thirsty way. Because a thirsty person would be back on Instagram immediately like,

hey, I'm hot too. It's me over here. And that more often than not ruins it. Like you can see. I'm on Cameo now. Right. The person's trying so hard to make money, to make a moment, that it ruins it because you're like, okay, like yeah sorry we started with you but instead she's like

doing a couple serious things I mean Zach Bryan is major she's signing with UTA UTA I feel like she has plans that maybe she had before she was HT but this is a good platform for her there was also a rumor that she's a teacher but yeah she's not a teacher. Yeah, but I've heard that was AI-generated rumor. She was never a teacher. They just want her to be a teacher. Yeah, because like the fantasy. So true. Like you sick fucks.

No, literally. Why would anyone want this person to be a teacher? I always love to see like a woman in media doing her thing. So I support. I'm happy for her. It's just not of extreme interest to me. Like every time I see an update, they're like, Hawk Tua girl did this. I'm like, cool. You know? That's so funny because last night you were being like, Hawk Tua girl did this. You were like, she did her first interview.

Yeah. I was showing you that funny tweet. No, but before the funny tweet, you were like, Hawk Tua did her first interview. Did I? Yeah. Yeah. Because I was showing you the tweet. I also find it interesting what, who she gave her first interview to. There are the usual suspects. Yeah, Bill Ackman was tweeting about Hawk to a Girl. That's why I shared it with you, because that's fucking crazy. But before that tweet, you were just saying, like, she did her first interview. And that's not what happened.

Okay. Well, I thought it was interesting that she did Plan Brie Uncut. And I think that's actually a really great place to go. I agree. I think Barstool is the perfect place for her. And coupled with going on stage with Zach Bryan perfection perfection no I wonder if she also has a publicist because this seems well thought out like yeah and it was in Nashville which is where the video went viral like she's kind of a Nashville ambassador now it's really

firing in all cylinders it's good stuff yeah I like it I what her aspirations are. And I do wonder what she was doing for a living prior to this. Did she not say in the interview? I don't know. People were saying she was a teacher and then there was... I feel like in the interview I overheard the clip

and I just can't remember what she said she was. Oh. Maybe it wasn't like the most memorable. Hmm. Well, love to see a woman in business out here succeeding

and apparently making big moves. Yeah. That's fabulous. Made it all the way to Bill Ackman. That was so funny. Like, that's huge. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? I am.

Well, some good news for me. Kylie and Timothee Chalamet are seen out together for the first time in months. Kylie and Timothee were spotted wearing face masks during a low-key outing at a popular Hollywood movie theater. They attempted to keep a low profile while hitting the Hollywood tourist hotspot on Friday. They were seen wearing face masks as they appeared to catch a movie

at the Chinese theater on Hollywood Boulevard in LA. Yeah, I think a lot of people mistook their desire for privacy as their abundance of caution. I don't think these two people were wearing masks for any other reason than like, so people wouldn't see their faces. A hundred percent. No, it wasn't getting encampment or COVID protocol. No, no, no. People were like, oh my God, things are getting really bad. Kylie and Timothy are wearing masks. Should we all start masking again? Oh, they thought it was COVID-y? Yes. No, I feel like if you're like so fearful of COVID that you need to wear a mask then you wouldn't be going to the movie theater of course no no this was definitely a privacy thing um I guess there was like this question

mark if they were still together and this is you know the exclamation point that they are yeah I just don't understand why it's so hard for them to just go to a movie without getting professional paparazzi photos yeah I mean Mindy Kaling gave birth to a whole ass baby and nobody knew like I agree like and if they knew the paparazzi is going to be there then the face masks are irrelevant also when you're at that level and you want to see a movie like you can have it screened in your home so you're going out to be seen like this is and every time a celebrity like successfully like hide something from us like most recently Mindy Kaling having a baby and nobody knowing it further proves that moments like this are intentional.

So what is being said here? It's like, hey, look at me, but don't look at me, but look at me. With my mask, please don't look at my face, but yes, I'm with my boyfriend. Like they're not going to the movie theater. Like it's dirty. Like they don't go to a movie theater. I just feel like Kylie is above like fake paparazzi. So I don't know.

I don't know what happened here. I don't know what happened here. I don't know what happened here either. But all I know is that they wanted us to know that this happened here. And all I know is that I'm glad they're still together. Because I think they're OTP. And so randomly, Paulina, Pauline Chalamet, his sister, is pregnant. She didn't do an announcement. She's so located.

I think it's going to bring Kylie and Timothy even closer even closer honestly it's so true like anti-kylie entering his uncle era too for the first time and perhaps that sort of love and devotion he could apply to his future stepchildren yeah and i think it will bring kylie and paulina closer yeah i think so too i think it's good for everyone i think rising tides rise all shides is what we're trying to say here agreed so i'm just happy they're still together even though I never really doubted it I never thought much about it I kind of forgot about them when was the last time they were spotted together golden globes in an official capacity oh that's really like a long time ago yeah but he's also been working on Bob Dylan yes yes and she's you know just being a mother and a

businesswoman which is extremely time consuming as as you know. Yeah. Yeah. So I like it. Yeah. I still am at a place, and I think I say this every time we talk about it, where I don't understand like what it is about Timothee Chalamet that people find extremely attractive, Kylie included. But again, you know, different strokes for different folks. And I'm happy for everyone involved. Yeah.

Okay. We're just so positive. We are so positive. And we're very much in our, you know, we're just letting everybody do what makes them happy and letting the chips fall where they may. Exactly. Are you ready for our next story? What number is it?

Romance rumors are swirling swirly who lucy hale has sparked romance rumors with rob lowe's son john lowe remember when she was spotted with colton underwood remember when she was spotted with skeet ulrich remember when um what was i gonna say about colton oh i was just thinking the other day when we were talking about Ali Raisman like such an underrated fact of life is that our queen Ali Raisman dated Colton

Underwood like pre-bachelor while he was technically like a low-level player in the NFL yeah don't sully her name I'm sorry it's just let me I I remembered and I thought maybe everybody else could use the reminder and like I gave so much to Colton Underwood. Like all of my goodwill, all of the benefits of my doubts. And I'm out. Like I- Oh, I'm not out. You're not out on him? No, his husband is so pro-Israel.

Like active, he's, they are allies of the community. I'm in. I am an ally of them. Like they need anything, I'll be there for them. Okay. You just call out my name. So Colton just like loves a pro-Israel swirly. Ali Raisman.

Whether it's Ali, whether it's, what's his husband? Jordan. I don't know. I just like, someone sent me his content once. It was like, this is Colton Underwood's husband. I'm like, wait, what? I think his name is Jordan Underwood. Okay.

Well, Lucy Hale has moved on from Colton Underwood and Skeet Ulrich. I do often wonder though about her hike with him, because it was not two days before he came out as gay. Maybe he was just, like, leaning on her for advice. And compared, how many questions do you have about that hike compared to Tariq's armed hike? Comparatively, very little. But still a lot of questions for Lucy and Colton.

But not as many as I have for Tariq and Christina. You know me, like, a celebrity hike means a lot to me. A lot can happen on the celebrity hike. You just said a mouthful. But also a celebrity hike also means so little to you. Runyon. Like when you see a celebrity on Runyon, like swiping past. It's nothing.

Tapping through. It's more often than not actually meaningless, which is why when they stand out, they really stand out. Lucy, Colton, Tariq, and Christina. Don't forget the gun. By the way, Tariq, and Christina. Don't forget the gun. By the way. Tariq, get your gun. Wait, you know the Taylor Swift song on TTVD?

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus? Tariq or Colton. Tariq or Christina or Lucy or Colton. But not aristocratic influencers with a wagon full of furniture. That's how you know it's a premium episode, even though we're hunched over this piece of shit microphone, because we have so many options for titles. However, the story at hand, Lucy Hale, who's 35, it's just like germane to the story, and John Owen Lowe, Rob Lowe's son, who you know.

I do? Like, yeah. Do you recognize that face? I'll pull up a better picture. He's an actor. What is he in? I don't know him. By the way-

I feel like he's friends with Ben. Like I can't. What? Like I just feel like you know him. Literally never seen this person in my life. Should we ask Ben if he knows him? Yeah. Maybe just because you guys went to the roast of Rob Lowe.

I'm saying this. We did go to the roast of Rob Lowe. Okay. He's literally in nothing that we've seen. So why is this guy's face so familiar? I think he just has that face. No, no, no. He's in stuff.

Oh wait. I'm sorry. They're showing me his face. No, no, no. He's in stuff. Oh, wait. I'm sorry. They're showing me his character. You go to his IMDb. I am. They were showing me what he's written. Oh, he was on this Watch What Happens Live episode with Tom Schwartz. Did you watch that episode?

Oh, yeah. That's how you know me. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I like how that's the first photo that comes up on IMDb. And that's why I know you've recently started using like Google for discography. IMDb is supreme. Yeah. No, they failed me they failed me multiple times that is hilarious oh he was in Holiday in

the Wild um that movie with Rob Lowe with Rob Lowe and Charlotte York yes by the way what an underrated nepo baby dare I say not to be rude a failed nepo baby or maybe he's still I think the jury's out even though he is 29 but we've never never heard of him. We've never heard of his work. We had to do this deep dive Google search. And the only thing we recognized him first initially was an episode of Watched Robbins Live. I would say when your dad is Rob Lowe, that's a failed nepotism child. Agreed. And it's not for lack of trying because Rob Lowe literally put him in his Netflix movie,

Something in the Wild. Yeah. There must be something in the wild. See something in the wild. Something in the wild tells me you are not done. So anyways, Lucy Hale, John Lowe spotted leaving a lunch date. 29, 35. Love that.

She's 35. He's 29. They're both sober. So. That either can mean friendship or like a very serious relationship. Oh, it can mean friendship or like a very serious relationship. Oh, it can mean friendship. So he had posted his six year sobriety anniversary on April 1st. And she left like a really sweet comment.

She said, this is amazing. You are amazing. Bright and shiny human heart. I really like Lucy Hale. Love. Adore. Could never make me hate her. No, no.

Like if Lucy Hale is in something, I know for a fact I'm going to like it. Yeah, yeah. It all started with Privileged. It all started with Privileged. Who was it? I feel like we've had this conversation 35 times. It's Joanna Garcia Swisher, Lucy Hale, and who was the other girl who looked like Khloe Kardashian? Is she a famous actress or was that just the launching pad for Lucy Hale?

She's not a super, I don't know. Oh, she's sometimes in um hallmark movies now got it but what is her name if i thought long and hard i could get it so i'll just i'll look it is ashley newborough and yeah she's in some hallmark movies yeah i don't know look at her rolodex classic flipping for christmas um i did see lucy hell was on a podcast recently and a clip came across my desk and she was talking about privilegedileged how like when it got well not really in at length and I don't think anybody knew what she was talking about but she was saying she loved doing it so much and when it got canceled after one season like it was the worst thing that ever happened to her but she wouldn't

have gotten Pretty Little Liars if she hadn't been available due to the cancellation and someone one of the showrunners on like they knew her from Privileged so she got the big job of her career off of you know what we consider the big job of her career off of, you know, what we consider the big job of her career. Like that's hard to swallow. I know. And I feel like if Privilege got a second season. Oh, I think it was on Jake Shane's podcast where she said that.

And I feel like if Privilege got as many seasons as Pretty Little Liars did and Never Ending fucking show. Yep. Privilege is a better show. Agreed. But people don't know quality when they see it. And that's why we do what we do every day. And I'm going to use my platform to let you know that you could probably still stream privilege on cw seed

where like literally every cw and wb 11 show ever made what the hell is cw seed it's an app where like all cw and w11 archive shows are available to re-watch you need to go watch privilege you pay you watch commercials? Maybe. Okay. But like it's good. You could probably just like buy it on Amazon for $10. For sure. Or you could stream CWC.

Yeah. No, we're giving all options for all different budgets. So you need to watch Privilege. Yeah. It stands the test of time. I love that. And who's the grandmother?

All I remember was the episode with the tennis bracelet. It was like a whole story arc. Oh, who stole it? Who stole the tennis bracelet? It was such a good show. Where did it take place? They were supposed to be living in Palm Beach, right? Yeah. It was like a whole story arc. Oh, who stole it? Who stole the tennis bracelet. It was such a good show. Where did it take place? They were supposed to be

living in Palm Beach, right? Yeah. It was so gorgeous. I love that. I need to find just the grandma. Oh, Sharon Lawrence. Oh, she plays,

she's from Dynasty. This woman. Can't you just hear her? Laurel, their grandmother. That was important. That show was so good. It was so good. was so good and nobody like and dave franco was in it oh wow people don't know a good thing when they have it um and that's

kind of where we are why we are where we are as a culture you know look at all these cameos demi mazar summer roberts his dad kathy majime kathy majime i um leslie Leslie Jordan just finished watching Entourage and Debbie Mazur is she's a character throughout the whole show she's Vincent's publicist she's not in every episode she's in every season but she's like I would say she's in every like three or four or five episodes she's amazing she plays this like big time Hollywood publicist she's literally the best character on the show and she doesn't get enough credit for like her amazing career obviously most recently Younger where she plays the artist slash roommate slash lesbian. And then she had that little stint on the Food Network where she had a show called Bitchin' Kitchen.

Because her husband's like a big timey chef. Love her. Love that. Yeah. So what do you think about Lucy Hale and Rob Lowe's son? I don't, actually. No, but like now that you're thinking about it. Like, do you shit?

No. I don't either. I think I but like now that you're thinking about it. Like, do you shit? No. I don't either. I think I want something different for her. Me too. I don't know Rob's son clearly, except from his work on Watch What Happens Live, so. I want more for her. I want more for her. I want much more than this provincial life.

I want so much more than this provincial low. With an A. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? A little musical news because we can't stop singing. More than you know. Wicked has moved up its November release date. Oh my god. Circling back to something that we talked about at the top of the show,

Moana 2 was set to come out on November 27th and so was Wicked. Now who knows if this is why one of them was moved. But Wicked will no longer compete at the box office with Moana 2. It will fly into theaters a little early, five days earlier on November 22nd. Whatever. Like, works for me. The sooner the better. The sooner the better.

Now I know my plans for Thanksgiving 2024. Like, I'm hitting the theaters. Love that. I also think Downton Abbey movie number three. Is that just Christmas 2025? Let's look it up. I actually almost had it as a story the other day but then it got nixed so I never read the details yeah the third movie is like well underway but I think that it might really September 2025 next year okay okay so we have we have big plans for like the holiday season this year and next

year I love this it obviously has to do with Moana like you can't compete and like we never get good big movies so why do they have to be really the same fucking week right why even the same month so close together because if you have a big movie

the studio's gonna put it in theaters during the holidays that's when it's guaranteed to make the most amount of money away away so I do today do that

we'll lead the way I love that song. Yeah. That's been the soundtrack of our trip so far. Did we not say that earlier in the show? No, I'm reaffirming, if that's okay. If I may. If you must.

Like, the last 24 hours, we know the way coded. We know the way. Away, away. Are they singing, like, a different language there oh okay okay because i can never understand the words i don't think you're meant to they're speaking mohanese yeah polynesian i guess oh i forget that it's not like a mystical fake place it's like it takes place in like the south pacific tafiti yeah or no tafiti is not a real place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the region exists. Yes. You exist in the context of all in which that came before you. Yeah, yeah.

I forget that it's not like a fake place. It's not like Arendelle. Right, which is like Europe. Probably like Nova Scotia. Oh. So actually, this is probably a fake place. Te Fiti is a fake place. But it's meant to be the Pacific Islands.

No, no. And like, I think they say that it's the Pacific Islands. Like, and like the language is real. On the Polynesian Isle of Montanui. Yeah, that's exactly where it is. But is Montanui a real island? I don't think so. That's giving Arendelle.

It's not. Because you would be able to tap it in Wikipedia if it was. That's so true. And I'd get the history of Montanui. But it's like akin to Fiji. Oh my God. There's this guy on. Tahiti.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. There's this guy on TikTok that actually does something really interesting I think you would like. Oh it's a South Pacific island in the home of the titular protagonist of the 2016 anime though. So it's not real. Moana. So this guy on TikTok does this thing. His thing is that like people will give him

two crazy different words concepts states cities whatever and he has to get from the Wikipedia page of the first one to the Wikipedia page of the second one to the Wikipedia page of the second one, clicking like hyperlinks inside in as few clicks as possible. So he'll like scroll, scroll, scroll. Someone will be like, can you connect China to Krispy Kreme donuts?

Actually, that probably is like not that hard. But they'll give like the craziest ones. And he is like really good at it. It's one of my favorite things to watch. Imagine when he was like six. Someone was like, when you grow up you're gonna be the best at getting from one wikipedia page to the other at least he's the best at something not everyone could say that and and that's what you're gonna do not everyone can say that and

you're gonna make videos and people are gonna spend their time watching it i do want to say as much as i was like dreading this episode just given the circumstances of my life i think that was the best it ever went. I will say it's 20 minutes into my delivery window of one hour. And I've made, I've gotten nothing. So I have no hope that the equipment will get here.
