Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Toast and happy Friday! Congratulations! Congrats, gads! Hope everybody's sort of, you know, feeling proud of themselves, tapping themselves on the backs. Mazel Tov! Congrats!

You did it! It doesn't really feel like a Friday. I haven't entered that Friday headspace yet. I hate to be like an ungrateful wench because I feel like every day we get on this show and we're like... Just hoping and wishing that it would be Friday. Hutting and fishing and loving every day and then we get here and I don't know I don't want to be like ungrateful biting the hand that feeds me like it's kind of

like not it's just not giving the good. It's not giving what it needs to be giving. Do you know what I mean and I think that's just the nature of life like you anticipate so long for something to come and then it comes and it just kind of sucks um and I'm not saying today sucks I'm just saying it's not what I thought it would be. It's not the joyous occasion that it usually is. Maybe by the end of this episode, we'll have gotten into the Friday spirit, realizing that the weekend is upon us. I mean, I could actually pinpoint why today's not giving positive energy and I don't want to start out complaining, but like I'm going through a lot. Okay. Well, you have to speak your truth. I sliced my finger open yesterday, like being an animal with my rotisserie chicken.

I was just eating it like so beast-like, Neanderthal-like, that I sliced really bad. The knife went, oh my God, it hurts so bad. It's literally still bleeding. I definitely like hit bone. It woke me up in the middle of the night. I was up for two hours in the middle of the night.

Just my finger was throbbing in the Band-Aid. It took me forever to get ready today. I couldn't even do proper makeup. I probably look heinous on YouTube. Don't watch on YouTube. Listen on Spotify. Like it's affecting me in all. For sure.

Like it's affecting me in all corners of my life. And I'm in immense pain. Immense pain. Do you need to go to urgent care? Do we need to wrap this up? And like I can't think about that. Like when I think about the knife hitting. Oh my God.

I like could puke, you know like yeah it was just oh when I was alone and I got like really freaked out you know like you're losing a lot of blood right like what if I faint on all my new furniture like and my blood is everywhere like I that's not what's freaking out you're no of course no of course it's like I'm alone and I fainted and I'm bleeding out of course and that would cross my mind like who cares I and I fainted and I'm bleeding out. Of course. And that crossed my mind. Like, who cares? Who gives a rip about the furniture? I felt like Miranda Hobbs in that very early season of Sex and the City where she was like, you know, I'm a single woman living alone. I choked on my Chinese food.

And my cats are going to eat my body before they find me. For sure. But I feel like for Miranda, that was a referendum on her life up until that point, just being a single woman and. Not wanting to, you know, be alone. The threats that could pose. But for you, like maybe it's a referendum on Ben's choices.

Maybe it is. I'm so glad you brought that up because ask me, where was Ben at the time? Where was Ben when his wife was laying on the floor bleeding out? Recording good, guys. Like four hours, like two episodes back to back. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Shameful.

Yeah. You should be ashamed. Meanwhile, turdy in the kitchen with the rotisserie bleeding out. With the knife. Yeah. And did he apologize? No. I love how, like, you slice your finger open.

You and you alone. And it's Ben's fault. Okay you know what? I'm also glad you brought that up. Because Ben hasn't seen my cut. He should have made you grilled chicken chopped into bits in the fridge already. No actually I'm not an unreasonable person. Like of course it wasn't his fault. This he hasn't seen the cut. This morning I need to you know change my bandages. Stitch up. And it's the first time he't seen the cut. This morning, I need to, you know, change my bandages, stitch up. And it's the first time he's seen the open wound. And he's like, oh, he's like so dramatic. And it is really bad.

And he's like, oh, and okay, fine, be dramatic. And then he goes, what did you do? Victim blaming. I'm like, are you serious? Ben, you cut your fingers all the time because he's always in the kitchen. And it's not as deep, obviously. I'm like, do I ever see that and say, oh oh my god you're an animal you're dumb what's wrong no he didn't say that either he is he might as well have he might as well have he was victim

blaming and shaming in the words of Oprah blame shame game blame shame and the weight loss game that's like one of my favorite things. I actually keep thinking about the fact that she titled her special that. Really? Blame, shame, and tell it by my name. And call me by my name. Why? You know, what was it even called?

It was blame, shame, weight loss game. No, blame and shame, the weight loss revolution. There was a revolution in there. Oprah special blame shame. See, look, I can't even open my... Shame, blame, and the weight loss revolution. It should have been shame, blame, and the weight loss game. So I'm sorry, you can't say shame or blame

without it being shame, blame, and the turd is knife revolution. Shame, blame, and turd is bleeding out on the floor. Shame, blame, and Ben is blaming his wife. Shame, blame, and down with the good guys. That's the title. Shame, blame, and down with the good. No, I'm not giving them like title placement. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Do you know there are brands that would pay? There are a million girls who would want that job, you know? Yeah. Shame, blame, and the title revolution. Title revolution. Oh, wait.

Is Beyonce's album a story? Of course. Okay. Because I have thoughts. It's story worthy. There are a lot of newsworthy items on the album. So that's what I did this morning while getting ready, you know, with four fingers. And, you know, I actually had a question that I wanted to ask you because I was thinking like.

If your heads lose a finger? Similar. I think we should rank the fingers because right hand index, it might be up there with one of your thumbs. It's really, it's a top three finger. Yeah, it's number three obviously thumbs are one and two for me my right thumb is one so honestly is two I told you about this issue I've been having with my left thumb where I feel like I've lost connection from my brain yeah I feel like my left thumb has spun out of control my left thumb is like no longer in my control I

would put it and I was more so asking like a universal ranking of the digits not a personal one but I just want to say for me like the left thumb it could be eight or nine. I don't think so. Like your left thumb is what separates you from Romeo. No I wouldn't be able to be holding this beverage if I didn't have my left thumb and it's in my left hand right now. Yeah. So it would go right thumb, left thumb, right index finger, left index finger. Yeah. Then the middle finger is obviously an iconic one. It's an important one. The ring finger, important too. Not really on the right hand, just want to say. If I had to lose any finger, I think I might give up the the right ring not a pinky I

mean pinky is the obvious choice I don't know my pinkies and I have like a you know body image issues when it comes to my hands um I think my pinkies are so like dainty and long they're kind of like the best of my fingers you know yeah it's kind of a lovely thing or also like I like to get a wide grip on something I actually have a really wide finger span yeah something interesting about me not you other bitches couldn't I can hit an octave on the piano easily look at this span oh hitting a full octave yeah yeah yeah a full octave on the piano I might even get that ninth key in there okay I I think we're pretty much saying the pinky is germane to that for me and that's a big part of my identity.

And a big part of my identity is just like being comfortable picking my nose. And every now and then like a pinky finger up the nose, like scratches a quarter. Gets the job done. Scratches a quarter of the nose that like other fingers could never. So I've never been like a pick nose bitch. But as a mom, I've noticed that that I pick I'm always like picking the kids because it's like you have to get their boogers and it's just kind of like taking away

the stigma for picking nose and I find myself like picking my own nose now Jackie uh you are joining the pick nose revolution blame shame and the pick nose game yeah and I've been a proud nose picker for years I'm not like really even trying to like stop it it's just I've realized that's why I like all the shame and blame around nose picking I should do a special on it I'll host it I do you don't understand this is like the best news you've ever told me like I am overjoyed beyond belief to hear this from you it's because it's like when I'm like now picking a nose is kind of just like this necessity in my I am overjoyed beyond belief to hear this from you. It's the best thing in the world. Because it's like when I'm going, like now picking a nose is kind of just like this necessity in my life.

So whether it's me or them, it's like I don't really have enough time to register. Like, oh, this is the inappropriate one. Like this is the embarrassing one. And why is it inappropriate? Like if I see someone, you know, on the subway across from me getting like the eye gunk out of the corner of their eye, I don't think, ew, it's literally the same thing. Well, yeah, because you end up with the same question of where do you put it? Right. Right. Well, I always, these days, like a part of, I think I genuinely think a part of getting older is no matter what time of year

it is and you can be perfectly healthy, like your nose is going to run. I'm doing my makeup. My nose is running. I walk to work. Even if it's nice out, my nose, my nose is always running. It's just like a new part of my life. And I always have a new or used tissue in my pocket. Okay. Say they say you're not so perfect that day and you don't have a tissue. Like let's get real. She is evading the question. Oh, are you asking me what I'm doing?

Okay. That's a good question. I'm doing a little bit of this. I'm rolling it up first, making it compact, making it, you know, safer for check it, check it. It's a check bag. It's a check bag. It's not a carry on. Okay. So we're rolling it up first, making it compact, making it, you know, safer for check it, check it. It's a check bag. It's a check bag. It's not a carry on.

Okay. So we're rolling it up, decreasing its size. And yeah, a little flick. So when I think about case, you need your middle finger and your thumb. Actually, let me think. Let me think. Cause I feel like nose picking, rolling and flicking is a five digit. It's a five digit affair. digit. It's a five digit affair.

It's a five digit. All the cameras coming out for a five digit affair. All right. That song is so good. Jessica Simpson, Public Affair. Yeah. All of her songs. I'm loving angels instead.

You know, I can't. Let's not get into Jessica Simpson. You know, I'm not going to repeat. We only have so much time. We only have so much time. Yeah. Because this, today's episode is fabulous. It's Friday, which means, you know, and I'm already feeling like I'm in better spirits. We have our Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is our weekly segment where Jackie and I bestow the honor to two different people, places, or things for their Queenie behavior or their Weenie behavior. I'm very excited. This is the first week, I think maybe since the inception, where my queenie came to me almost immediately.

And I really couldn't think of a weenie. Interesting. I'll let you know after the ad break how mine turned out. Okay. And then for the first time ever, this is our inaugural segment, our inaugural episode of our new monthly segment, Employee of the Month, where Jackie and I just sort of hype each other up for kind of being a fabulous employee this month. What did you do, Jackie? What did I do to bring this company forward? Yeah. So every month there will be

two employees of the month and they will be me and Claudia. And we're just nominating each other as to like why we deserve that honor. Yeah. I mean, I am down to like make it competitive. You know me like I'm a nut. So like you nominate you and I nominate me and then people vote? No, no, no. Oh no. I can't, we can't get the people involved. That's toxic. You nominate me and I nominate you. And then we both like, we're honest with each other. Whoever makes a more compelling case. For sure. But if you want to win, you would make a crappy case. That's why it's not really. It's giving, you know what it's giving?

Four weddings. An imperfect system. Like in that show, and I'm always referencing that show, it was imperfect. Like the girl with the worst wedding like always won because these bitches were out here

and they had a system like to try and evade anyone sabotaging. Like they would get rid of the lowest score, but it was still, like it was still not a perfect system. You're right. No. Well,

you have to advocate for yourself. Yeah. But that's weird. Yeah. It's more fun when we hype. No, Claudia, we're going to be weenies about this and we're going to say everyone's a winner.

So are we the weenies of the week? Because we're being. Weenie like. Weenie like. This is so unlike us. We hate when people, you know, give answers like you're all winners here. This is so unlike us. We hate when people, you know, give answers like, you're all winners here.

Well, you're not. Hmm. Inherent contradiction within the show. Hmm. We'll have to think on it. We'll have to think on it. Let's get into the stories because we absolutely must. Absolutely must.

Without further ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know. Oh, and today's episode is brought that you need to know. Oh, and today's episode is brought to you by Vanderpump Villa, the fun new reality series from our queen, Lisa Vanderpump. She has a new home on Hulu, and the show is an escape to the French countryside. The series offers first-class luxury and world-class drama. So Lisa's staff are working, living, and playing together 24-7 while dealing with rivalry, romance, and misadventures.. What I really like about this is giving, you know, the upstairs, downstairs, it's kind of giving like a modern Downton Abbey, if you will. So Vanderbilt Villa provides super entertaining and unfiltered portraits of life,

both saturated in and starkly without privilege. So throughout the series, the new groups of guests will be arriving to the villa for a unique and lavish vacation. The staff will have to be ready to cater to them on every whim. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the staff are pushed to their limits to execute these one-of-a-kind celebrations like bachelorette parties, divorce parties, birthdays, while of course having to maintain composure and professionalism as this is an opportunity of a lifetime for each of them.

So it's really, it's giving class, it's giving elegance, it's giving that Lisa Vanderpump je ne sais quoi, if you will. It's happening in France it's this gorgeous villa so these young hot thangs doing their thangs you know while working for like these

incredibly difficult people the show sounds amazing you can watch Vanderpump Villa it premieres April 1st only on Hulu so that's coming up this is not an April Fool's joke

this is very much real the new show from Lisa Vanderpump it is called Vanderpump Villa and it is available to stream on Hulu starting and premiering April 1st. Don't miss it.

Here's every artist featured on the new album. So Cowboy Carter dropped this morning the new project also known as act two from her renaissance release has made its way to the u.s as of midnight on friday she told her supporters this is not a country album this is a beyonce album but the 27 track body of work features some big time country heavy hitters is a long album okay so i listened i thought i listened to half but i must have listened to like a quarter this morning while I got ready.

So featured artists include Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. Willie Nelson can be heard on Smoke Hour, Willie Nelson and Smoke Hour 2. Then she also collabed with Miley Cyrus and Post Malone for Two Most Wanted and Levi's Jeans. Then Linda Martel is also on the album and then other black country artists that appear include Rhiannon Giddens, Tanner Addle and Willie Jones and also Shabuzy. So we were wrong about pretty much every single one. Yep I don't think we didn't

get one thing right not until she literally said Dolly Parton is on the album and I think we said oh I think Dolly Parton's on the album. and let's start there because Dolly doesn't sing um Beyonce covers Jolene and then Dolly has like a cute little monologue in the beginning it's like super short um and I have to say I like died when I listened to the Jolene cover because it's not a cover it's basically she changed every lyric but it's the same song if you know what I mean yeah and um basically she changed every lyric but it's the same song if you know what I mean yeah and um the uh the message of Jolene is basically you know Dolly's man is seeing Jolene on the side and the song is like Jolene please like I know you're hot and sexy and you can have whoever you want please don't take my man it's coming from a place of desperation Beyonce's song is very clearly

remarking on Jay-Z's affair because Dolly's little monologue at the beginning says, I know you had an issue, the girl with the nice hair. So it's very like personal. And Beyonce is not in the slightest acting desperate. It is honestly one of the meanest songs. Like it's so funny. It's so cutting. It's a slay.

It's the total opposite of Jolene. There's no pleading. There's no begging. It's like, girl, you're desperate, thirsty, and ugly. Like, Beyonce rips her to shreds and is like, I know you want my man. Get the fuck away. It's very different than Jolene. I loved it.

I also listened to the Miley one. I love that Miley's on this album. Like, for real. And I think everyone's having. That is such an interesting choice to me. And I want to talk about it. I want to understand more. I couldn't have dreamed up something better if I tried but Miley's kind of the only contemporary female artist on the album who's like major already and I wonder like

why Miley maybe do you think she saw her at the Grammys like we all did and was like this girl is so talented I imagine like these things take more time than that or because of Dolly no not even I don't know I feel like Beyonce just like Beyonce's a woman of taste like for real she's a a tastemaker she has she sees things in people you know and I think I really feel I don't know what the connection is I do know they're also on the same record label and maybe it's like a business thing what's the record label I think it's Columbia okay but still like I don't think Beyonce's no me neither she doesn't play that game contracts now I don't know because it is so random especially when like the the two big

collabs there there are a lot of features but the collabs everyone's talking about are Post Malone and Miley who are both not country artists they have country connections Post Malone and Miley, who are both not country artists. They have country connections. Post Malone is gearing up to release his own country album. Miley, of course, is from country royalty, but they're not country artists. No. Which is interesting. Up until this point, neither of them have put out a country album. And I feel like it really makes sense when Beyonce released her explanation for her reasons for doing this album, she's kind of mad at the country world. So she wasn't going to give any like current country artists their flowers. Like she was going to do it on her own, in her own way. Yeah, but then she does have Dolly and Willie.

But they're not like a part of, I think, the problem Beyonce was talking about. Got it. So I thought that was interesting. And then it made me, of course, wonder, the queen of country contemporary music. Who is it? Is Taylor.

Oh, that's so funny. I mean, I wish. Like, she's from country. These days, she's obviously a pop artist. But like, she's the most successful female country artist of all time. Like, yes, technically. Yes. I mean, technically, that's just fast she

hasn't released country music since Red even though Red no the rest Red was still I think in the country genre but even when she was releasing country music it wasn't country it sounded like pop but like her she's the yeah yeah yeah sure female country don't do stat tailored oh so there is a theory so the i love a theory there's a theory for that beyonce said like i have a lot of surprises up my sleeve so of course the album came out the track list didn't even tell us everything that we thought we were gonna get um and there is a song called bodyguard that has like background vocals that sound so much like taylor like for real and the writing credits for the album have not been released yet. So a lot of people say the body, the bodyguard sounds like a song Taylor would

write or like co-write. Her voice sound, it sounds, you know, Taylor loves to have people on her songs and you can't hear them. It sounds like Beyonce's pulling a Taylor. Like she's literally in the background. She goes, Ooh, like three times, but it really sounds like Taylor. So that's the current working theory. Oh, I like that theory. And I would like that if Taylor wrote a song for this album, I think that theory. And I would like that if Taylor wrote a song for this album. I think it would be perfect. Because like Beyonce and Taylor putting out a song together, it's like, it's too much.

Like the world can't handle it. But something more subtle like that would be lovely. Yeah. So that's just the running theory. Say there's no Taylor on the album, which is what I thought after the album dropped and there was no Taylor. Don't you think that's interesting no because I think it's been made like abundantly clear that these two like they're their own planets you know and are their own planets and

they coexist like there's peace there I think they really really I think for so long everybody like knew that like Taylor loved and respected Beyonce but we were like does Beyonce love and respect Taylor because Beyonce's like so was Beyonce's taken so seriously and up until recently Taylor was not and it's been made abundantly clear over the last like year or two that like everyone loves everyone and it's all good but there's never been like a formal collab and I don't know what the first step in that would be would it be a Beyonce song feature on Taylor's album? Would it be a Taylor feature on Beyonce's album? How do we do it? I don't know.

I feel like this would have been it. Beyonce is doing country. Yeah. Taylor is country. Like, it kind of reminds me, like, so randomly of, like, how we don't have a Morgan Wall and Luke Combs collab yet. They're these two enormous universes. They have covered each other's songs.

They clearly have respect for one another. But Luke Holmes has said on a podcast, like, it's not, you know, negative, but it's of course competitive. That's the nature of, they do the same thing. They're at the same level. And it's not in a bad way, but, you know, they keep each other on their toes. And I thought it was actually a really honest answer because most people would be like, no, we support each other. He's like, no, like it's competitive, but it's good. and they haven't worked together ever in like a formal song release capacity and when they do how will it be done because it's almost like the fact that it's never been done I don't to me that feels different like I don't expect every big artist to work with the

other big artists especially in the same genre I'm just saying in this instance, like Beyonce has a country album. She's collaborating with country artists. She has a friend, we know they're friends, who is the biggest country artist in the world. This would be the time for the collab. If this album comes and goes and there's no collab, I won't say on the next album or Taylor's next album. I understand.

This is the moment is what I'm saying. Okay, so I don't like a hundred percent agree with that because like I feel like yes Taylor is on a technical level like the most successful country but I really I don't think of her like country at all anymore which is devastating because that those is my favorite genre and my favorite girl um I do think that if there isn't a collab on this album that has anything to do with Taylor I won't think of it as like a slight um I do think that if there isn't a collab on this album that has anything to do with Taylor I won't think of it as like a slight um I will just think of it as a missed opportunity agreed but not one that they didn't consider first no by the way this conversation was had

between both camps that's all I'm saying and maybe Taylor seriously like didn't maybe Taylor was like maybe Taylor said no maybe it was like, currently I'm on this tour. I have some, I don't have the capacity to give my whole, you know, pussy to this collab. And I would want to.

I don't want to be country right now. But seriously, if Beyonce comes to someone with a collab, no one is turning that down. No, absolutely no,

nobody. So she didn't come. Or, or, or the theory is right. I like that theory. That buttons it all up really nicely for me yeah

so I have a lot of work to do on the album but I needed to reference the song daughter and what I love about this um album is like it's really camp in the sense it's not like I feel like a lot of the contemporary country artists especially the women like their music sounds almost like pop music it's not very like stereotypical. She went full camp. It's like, howdy dude. Like it's really, I love it. And even like the album cover, horse, American flag, Beyonce. And it's not subtle. It's not subtle. So she's like pulling references from, you know, landslide, which is like kind of not corny, but like overtly country. It's classic country. Classic. And it's low-key classic country. And she's sampling a lot of things. And in the song Daughter, she samples a song. Now, I don't know what this

song is. My reference, how I know it, is it's from Raise Your Voice. I think it's an opera song. She's, Jackie. Did I listen to it yet? Jackie. Come on, you'll pay sensate literally raise your voice the cringe I didn't get there yet I got I only got to Jolene when Hilary Duff's like cringe character has a cringe moment in the cringe class with Aiden from Sex and the City and she like slays it down and she sings that like it must be like it's like an Ave Maria type it's like a famous old like opera song it's in Daughter and Jackie when I tell you I died like I died it was so funny I don't know where that song is from but to me and like my generation it will always be from Raise Your Voice oh I think that was my next song to listen to but also this was the first album that I didn't initially listen in order, which I hate to do.

Did you do that accident? No, I needed to hear Miley first. Oh, oh. And then I listened to Post Malone, and then I took it from the top, but then I skipped to Jolene. Oh, and I also listened to, after Post Malone, I listened to Sweet Honey Buckin' that's with Shaboosie, because a few weeks ago, people were speculating who would be on this album,

like which black country artist that she would work with and I saw a video of this guy Shabuzy who's so sickeningly talented oh wow and it introduced me to his music and then when he confirmed was on the album I had to listen to that one too before I started at the top and I feel like what you just said is like the whole reason why Beyonce made the country album love it love it no it's I have a lot of work to do and I don't like, I hate when people are like, what are your rankings? It's 27 songs. I woke up a couple of hours ago, like leave me alone.

I need time. I don't know what's good yet. I don't know what's bad. I don't know if I like the album. Like I need a minute. Give me a second. Sonically, it's kind of a new sound because she's really like blending her own voice with country old and new.

And also there's like some hip hop influences in there. So like, it's going to take time to like wrap hip-hop influences in there so like it's gonna take time to like wrap your head around it's not it's not surface level and it's certainly not surface lyrics it's not surface lyrics give us a minute so has Ben struggling with that or is he excited I actually haven't spoken to him about it because I literally wasn't talking to him after he yelled at me about my finger after he victim blamed shamed and gamed yeah and in the knife cutting game so that's exciting and that does make the friday feel more like a friday because it's new music friday totally period i don't have anything to add on to that all right so maybe you could go to the next story. Yeah. No, I was going to say something,

but no. Well now. The sentence was over. Okay. I respect that. Sometimes it's okay to like start a sentence and then just like delete, you know? Yeah. Or no, like not everyone has to get the last word, you know? Oh, is that what you were trying to do? No, I wasn't trying, but I was just going to like say another thing. Oh my God. And you know what? I love, I love I love that like you and I think this goes for everyone I'm not talking about us because we don't know I wasn't talking about us the culture like maybe just end the sentence you know that's okay constant back and forth like let's hold space for the end let's hold space for the end I think it'd be nice are you ready for our next story now holding space for the second story billy eilish is dragging big artists like taylor swift for releasing multiple versions of albums in quote wasteful packaging so while discussing her push for sustainability

within her career with billboard she criticized unnamed big artists for using uneconomical and seemingly unethical methods to sell and package their physical albums and vinyls. While it was unnamed she might as well have said that blonde girl whose names rhymes with failure like she literally described it's clear like I don't think we could speculate this to be about anyone else. No so this is what she said so you can hear it for yourself. We live in this day and age where for some reason it's very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging which ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets them more money and gets them more I can't even express to you how wasteful it is it is right in front of our faces and people are just getting

away with it left and right and I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable and then it's some of the biggest artists in the world making fucking 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more literally tailored with her songs. Now I want to say Taylor does do this a lot with her CDs and stuff, but Billie's specifically talking about vinyls because I guess vinyls are like especially difficult to make and it's whatever. Special unsustainable plastic. It's like, and a whole part of this conversation that Billie's not talking about is how Taylor has completely resurrected a dead industry in terms of like jobs sales small

record stores like so yes you can't be the best at everything you can't be the most sustainable and be resurrecting industries and being a titan of industry like it's giving jealous maybe do you think that maybe because the vinyl industry is so unsustainable that it deserved to go to die to die no and the people who were working in the vinyl industry didn't deserve to work because of their contribution to non-sustainable things. Billie Eilish is really slowly turning into one of my least favorite people. Like it only took, it only took two things. Artists for C's Firepin and coming for Taylor Swift.

Like you're literally dead to me. No, this story is so funny. This girl is so dreadful and she's always been dreadful but like I never want to say anything because she seriously like just seems unwell yeah but she's now sticking her nose in some things where it doesn't belong dreadful miserable girl yeah no I feel like it's everything is so negative and sad all the time like oh imagine like as I think like the perfect word for like what we're saying is like it's everything is so negative and sad all the time like oh imagine like as I think like the perfect word for like what we're saying is like it's like yes but the Yiddish phrase is a

it's like your face is like a long sad face or miserable hold on that's a miserable girl hold on that what's the other Yiddish phrase that I've been actually using a lot lately? When you try and Google Yiddish words, they don't understand. Fabisana punam. Fabisana punam. It's like, smile.

No, it's literally- That's misogynist and not sustainable. I don't care. It's Sparky Palastri. Smile. Don't smile. I just like, I can't. And honestly, I want to say. Billie Eilish is a Fabicina punam.

She's a Fabicina punam. And there isn't, I'm not the type of person where I'm like, you can't criticize Taylor. Like I actually do feel every, like there are some few, if you have something to say, like valid criticisms of Taylor in regards to whatever sustainability or whatever it is but like this really isn't it and I feel like Taylor's been praised so much by people in the industry like mom and pop hundred year old record stores for and she goes out of her way to like really give extra stock of hard to find vinyls too small independently owned record like she really goes out of her way to like try and do the right thing and so for another artist to come out it's you

know what it's giving it's giving jealous yeah but the mom and pops were not sustainable claudia down oh fuck off like i support the mom and pops leave me alone yeah and so does taylor like so to make a whole big stink she thinks she's being subtle like we know who you're talking about billy no i hope taylor writes a whole album about her the thing, lion don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep. It's true, but Taylor, like she does. She cares what people think about her.

Also, Billie Eilish, like we can clown on her. Like she's a major, major, um, like force in the music industry. No,

I think Taylor is like listening with both ears. She's like, okay, you said that? Yeah. Like when Taylor, we knew Taylor like gave a fuck about what people said about her. When she like came out with full force

one joke made about her in Ginny and Georgia before Ginny and Georgia was even popular Ginny and Georgia's enormous show now but it was the first season it was like literally nobody was watching the show and honestly I heard about it for the first time from Taylor Swift and it was like such a lame joke and like she was right but like really we're going like I feel like you're bigger than that no she she listens to the things that people say about her and she cares. And she would admit that. Like, that's not no secret. And I want to say like, hashtag relatable.

Like, thank you. No. Also, I just want to say for Billie, when her Happier Than Ever vinyl came out in 2021, the black versions were made of 100% recycled black vinyl and wrapped in shrink wrap made from sugar cane. And her colored options were also created with recycled materials sounds smelly no that's great that's really really great for billy different people care about different

things she also helped from reverb's music decarbonization project which aims to eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry okay and that's like that's so great that's clearly something billy cares about that's super super great but like i don't know i just hate people like who do something good and then use it as like a platform to be condescending to shame blame and game to shame blame the music game yeah especially when like there's such bigger fish to fry right and i just like i have two words for this and upon them i have two words shame and blame okay our next three what number actually no we've so much time no no oh okay because our next three stories if i had to describe them like they are so friday oh by the way let me guess i know them grb yep the conjoined twins who married the same man because that's a story i requested and what was the third it's definitely some food news what

is subway it's not food news okay you'll surprise me let's start first of the three is that gypsy rose blanchard has separated for her husband three months after her prison release. So GRB and her husband, RSA, have broken up after one year of marriage. She announced the news on her private Facebook account on Thursday, according to People, saying, people have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation. And I moved in with my parents home down the bayou. Jackie, parents? Who?

Did I read that right? And I moved in with my parents' home. So mom, we know, deceased at the hands of GRB. Father, in the act, I don't remember there being a father. Well, obviously she's talking about like her birth dad and and his like you know her stepmom or something really i mean who else it's not her mom but maybe her parents home like maybe it was the home she grew up in oh she's referencing the home not the parents the physical structure the structure um okay so let's and also and also to say like I moved in with my parents

home down the bayou right is it I moved in with my parents or I moved into my parents home she has a typo and it's honestly making it really really hard changing the meaning of the sentence yeah no no honestly she couldn't have had a worse typo in terms of clarity like maybe she's just trying to keep people on their feet that's classic GRB that's classic GRB now of course I have to make everything about myself I did spend some time with with the couple and I didn't want to say it at the time because I was grateful I just want to say can we get a clarification on how much time 30 minutes okay not like a weekend yeah no I thought it was gonna be three minutes so that's no no no no I observed them but I also spoke to them him a lot too and I didn't want to say it at the time because I was grateful to

Lifetime for the opportunity and you know I just I was having so much fun but like you didn't like what you saw there were immensely weird vibes and let me tell you precisely like I think he was really really excited about like the lights camera action the flashiness of it all and I think she was more excited to like tell her story and like be out of prison. And he was like really, as like a former teacher, you know, he wasn't in prison. His life just went from drab to fab, you know, that's the Lifetime documentary. Drab, fab, and the GRB gab, you know. And so he like kept making this joke. He made a joke to me.

I was talking to him and I was like oh my god congrats like on your wedding congrats yeah and he was like oh he's so great like I you know I keep saying we're not newlyweds we're newly together weds because like we've been married for a while but we're finally together in person I was like oh haha cute joke Jackie I heard him make the joke to like other people and the press like no less than 10 times that night he's like and then I saw on TikTok literally a video you made a little joke and I don't know it was just giving preparedness you know it was giving thirstiness and I didn't like what I saw I'm not gonna like disagree with your analysis because you saw what you saw and that's your truth I just want to say like that story viewed through another lens is like really

innocent and sweet let me add some color then okay so grb and her man come out of course a press line like they're going crazy for grb and he's like standing right at the edge of the carpet like waiting with bated breath for like the couple photos like obviously she gets her solo shots and then they do couple photos and then he gets his solo shots and i just felt like an eagerness that that just put a bad taste in my mouth you saw eager beaver thirsty and then we know like he was getting reached out to a lot by other women and I just feel like if there's any sort of nefarious behavior from this split it was coming from him well I just think in general when you go through such a big change like meeting and getting married in prison and then the freedom that comes with it like that's a lot of change for a young couple and maybe people aren't who you think they are whether

they be just too eager beaver or also like impossible to live with or like grb you know you have limited options for spouses when you're in prison coming up grb maybe and now she's on to the next darling she's but she did say in her statement she sees you know more handsome men sliding into her DM she never had access to that she said in her statement I'm listening to my heart right now I need time to let myself find dot dot dot who I am so that's another thing yeah you could come out of prison and be a different girl not the one who married no and also you think about her life before prison she was attached to another man it's like she's kind of I think hinged her identity a

lot on her partner and maybe she's realizing she's coming into her own saying I need to be me yeah it's time for GRB if I can't love myself how in the hell am I gonna love anybody else I think there's a lot of change and there's been a lot of change and it's totally natural for things to start to shake up. Yeah. At the three-month itch. Yeah, and I just want to say, like, this is not a couple I'm rooting for, you know? So whatever Gypsy decides, like, I think is best.

I'm not going to be like, I hope these two work it out. This isn't like, you know, a Kim and Kroy Bierman situation. Who would you like to see GRB with? It's an amazing question let me think hold on who's like a freak like oh my god I have like such a funny answer joke but like it's like too mean you know should I say to you and then we cut it out or you know

text text it to you favorite like I just some of know? Should I say it to you and then we cut it out? Text it. I'll text it to you. Our favorite. Like I just, some of my jokes recently have been like so mean. This is who I think GRB should marry next. They're perfect for each other. You can say that. No, no, it's fine. It's fine. That's really funny.

Ship. Ship. Except no, she seems like a nice girl. I wouldn't do that to her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So GRB, wishing you well. Being single can be fabulous, but don't cut your finger. Yeah.

Maybe get a roommate. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Oh, I was born ready for this next story. Conjoined twin Abby Hensel is now married. So conjoined twins. Oh wait, only one? Only one is married.

Oh, I thought he married like spiritually. I know he physically married both of them, but I thought spiritually he married both as well. No, spiritually he married one. Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel first gained national attention when they appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show. And then they later starred in their own show,

Abby and Brittany. Oprah is kind of like the thread of today's episode. Yeah. A lot has happened in the last decade since they were on TV, but Abby is now married. According to public records, Abby, a teacher, and Josh Bolling,

a nurse and United States Army veteran, tied the knot in 2021. The sisters also shared photos of the wedding on social media. The couple lives in Minnesota where the Hensels were born and raised. The sisters are both teaching fifth grade in Minnesota. Yeah, well, I don't know how one could teach

and the other couldn't. I have so many questions. Because if these two are fucking, that's literally incest. That's like me and you having sex. No, they only have one part. They only have one, everything below the waist. Okay, that's like.

All organs below the waist are shared. No, it's like polygamy is what it is. Wait, all organs below the waist are shared? Yes. So they have one vagina? Yeah. So he's having sex with both of them? Yes.

And they're also having sex together? Well, no, because there's only one. Takes two to tango. What does the other girl do with her head? I don't know, but I would have thought, I mean, I'm glad that they're finding love, and what works for them works for them, and who are we to tell them what to do?

And they obviously have clear lines. They've thought of these things. Yeah, and they have a way of which works for them. I just would have thought that they would have found someone, honestly, maybe a polygamist who, and they could all be together married. Yeah, of course. But you can't marry your sister.

That's the thing. Sister wives are never related. They're not married to each other. Yeah. Oh, I guess. No, but you become like family. Like you already are. Of course, but they're already family.

No, I don't know. It's like a little confusing for me um however imagine how they feel there have there been the separation of conjoined twins successful surgeries yes correct yes but in this situation um because they have shared organs they were told that it was like they the parents decided that it was too risky at the doctor at the time the doctor said that there was a little little chance that both would survive the operation. And they had said, how do you pick between the two? No, of course not. So, yeah.

Oh, my. But I honestly have lived their best life. And the show, they had traveled. Yeah. I'm living my best life. They traveled to Europe. They rode a moped. They're making it work for them.

And now one of them has found love. Now, what happens when the other finds love? And then it's her turn. They obviously have an understanding with the husband. Like everyone has to be on the same page. I'm sure they've had these conversations, but there's no roadmap for this. There's no, they're literally creating precedent.

They're making the rules. Right. And they're kind of trailblazing for others yeah i think it's inspiring beautiful story and they want to be moms oh can they yeah they uh their mom had said that that's probably something that could work because those organs do work for them and britney had said yeah we're going to be moms we haven't thought about how being moms is going to work yet, but we're just 16. This was when they were 16. We're just 16. We don't need to think about that right now. But now they are in their 30s and now would be the time.

Claudia. Pleasure. Our fifth and final story, kind of the biggest news of the day. Puxatawney Phil shocks caretakers by welcoming two surprise baby groundhogs with his wife Phyllis. So famous groundhog Puxatawney Phil is a parent.

He is planning for at least six more weeks of intense parenting. That's funny. I don't like the way they phrase that headline. It's giving very much like misogyny. His wife is over here doing

everything. It said Puxatawney Phil welcomes two new children. It's like Phil is the star. Everyone. what did Phil do groundhogs does a male carry with groundhogs like that's what it sounds like no but it's because he's the most famous groundhog and his wife is just behind like behind every great groundhog there's a woman like bearing his children behind every powerful groundhog is a more powerful female groundhog it's true like that's true so i but i completely

agree like misogyny is to its core no it's just misogyny right and left like pita should honestly put out a statement about that put out a statement about the statement no pita pita doesn't care about women that's the thing pita cares about like i don't even know what the fuck they care about but it's not women yeah because the news here is like, Phil is a father. Okay. Like, Phyllis just endured childbirth. Is her name Phyllis?

Yeah. I don't know what agency was in charge of like, the Pax Atani Phil branding, but they slayed the house down. Boots. Except an inherent flaw is that you think that Phil is in Philadelphia. And he's not. Where is he? No, I think he's in Puxatawney. What's that? A township. But then like, no, and he should be

from Puxatawney because it's like the biggest thing going on in that town. But it should have been like Puxatawney Tim. Now, this is a totally random tangent, but we were talking about brands and rebrands. And I don't know if you know, but like a major, major brand has rebranded. And we didn't even talk about it on the toast. Manischewitz. Who? They're still Manischewitz. Wumanischewitz?

Wumanischewitz. Their entire branding has been like re-renewed. Because, you know, they're kind of like an old school shtetl vibe. Yeah, Fabis and Opunim. Fabis and Opunim. They slayed. I watched this whole tiktok like about the rebrand it's literally like the sickest thing it's now just giving

you know sort of like lower east side old jewish shtetl it's kind of in now like you know uh what's that deli called like cats is fond yes but it's very modern and they kind of like it's kind of one of the most people are praising it as like one of the most fabulous rebrands. They killed it without losing like the brand's core style and vibe. Yeah. What's the name of that font? I feel like it's like mazel. It's literally like shtetl. Yeah.

Where the, it's like the Second Avenue Deli logo too. Yeah. It's like all Jewish brands use it. Yiddish. Yeah. Cute. It looks like biblical writing like in the Bible. Very cute. Send me the TikTok. I will. I will was i found it extremely interesting but back to pugs atoni and

they put out a statement on pugs atoni's facebook page saying we have babies the pugs atoni groundhog club is very excited to announce that phil and phyllis have given birth to two healthy baby groundhogs now and so they will carry on the legacy of groundhog's day is that correct oh they didn't say that because i think it takes a certain kind of groundhog to be trained up but hopefully who's the prince william you know i don't think it's hereditary i think it's a meritocracy oh oh for real that's my guess because you need the best groundhog for the job why what if one of them is like badly behaved and he can't,

like he can't even stand to see a shadow? Well, he was born for this role. Like they trained him from childhood, you know? Says who? Like that's what I would think.

Maybe there's like an elite groundhog school. Anyone can go. Because by the way, if they don't do it like hereditarily, why the fuck are they breeding groundhogs

between these two? Well, here's the thing. It was unexpected. They had no idea she was pregnant. It was kind of like, I didn't know I was pregnant. It's giving that chill. Like I gave birth in the ER.

In the toilet. I took a shit and the baby came out. Yeah. They said when we went in to feed them their fresh fruits and vegetables, we found Phyllis with two little baby groundhogs. It was very unexpected and we had no idea that she was pregnant.

I just want to say like, it's getting negligent. Sorry. You should know what's going on with the groundhogs that you keep in cages phil phil couldn't keep his hands off phyllis late in the night you know what i find interesting yeah that like different mammals have different pregnancy terms i'm so glad you brought that up because we carry for nine months but like dogs carry for a couple weeks right three months when I was so funny when I was I just learned that because I was like talking extensively with different breeders for Tromeo and they were like oh well we just got pregnant I was like all right well I'll talk to you in nine months and she was like she was like no no it's

actually perfect timing for you it's three months I'm like what yeah it makes sense like it makes sense but we're huge I just assume for everyone it's nine months yeah I I would assume the same I did assume so I wonder how long how long is pregnancy for groundhogs because that was what a couple weeks of being negligent right like was she pregnant on groundhog's day maybe they celebrated maybe she got pregnant on groundhog's day like how some people get pregnant on you know valentine's The thing is, they might not even know how long. Oh, 32 days. Claudia?

A dream. No. In my next life. Valentine's Day, for sure. In my next life, bring me back as a groundhog. But the thing is, if you weren't like the groundhog, you'll live a life full of jealousy and bitterness. Allow me to rephrase that.

In my next life, bring me back as the most important groundhog. But would you want to be Phil or Phyllis? Phil. I'm kind of like Phyllis. All the perks. None of the work. Except for this. None of the pressure.

None of the pressure. What did I see? Was it a shadow or was it like a fleck? Right, right, right, right, right, right. It's hard. You're just a little lowly groundhog. It's hard out there for a groundhog. It is.

Those were actually like some of the best stories, I think. We've had a great week of stories. It's important to acknowledge when we're blessed because sometimes I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. Today and all days this week were really fabulous. Thank you so much for that. You're welcome. That could be a contributing factor.

I thought of that as well. So before we dive into our Employee of the Month segment, Thank you so much for that. You're welcome. That could be a contributing factor. I thought of that as well. So before we dive into our Employee of the Month segment, let's go to Queenie and Weenie of the Week, our weekly segment where Jackie and I bestow the honor to two individuals, people, place, or things. You know, it's flexible. Someone is going to be Queenie of the Week, and someone is going to be Weenie of the Week.

A Queenie of the Week would do something that, you know, was Queenie-like, and a Weenie would do something that was Weenie-like. So let's start with Queenie, because I happen to have one. And I think this will come as a shock to absolutely nobody that my Queenie of the week was Andrew Huberman. He brought me so much joy this week. Like that article, I've been talking about it in my personal life, on social media, the content, like it was so funny and it was so fabulous and i feel like i'm like obsessed with him now did you see like he posted a video we said we were speculating like how was he going to handle this does he have crisis pr is there going to be a statement nope

went right back on his instagram posting talking about sunlight sunlight yeah like obsessed in the comments the comments were like we're obsessed with you huberuber. Don't stop. It wasn't overwhelmingly negative. It seems like he has an audience of people with good heads on their shoulders. You know, they're not going to be like, cancel. Huberman is over party. Like, I have immense respect for this person whose name I seriously like barely knew prior to Monday. So for that, I'm grateful.

You? I agree. Huberman was my runner up and my Queenie of the Week, I think, is everyone's Queenie of the Week month year. And that's Kate Middleton.leton yeah she was up there for me she is going through it and she's just handling it with so much grace and patience even though everyone is a fucking nut job so my she never even said in her video like she just keeps being like thank you so much for like your support and it's like girl you they weren't supporting you but she's too big to even

say like you fucking clowns you look like clowns so my one of my weenies of the week that I'll just decide now was the people the public the public post Kate Middleton's video which really shut everyone down there are still people being like it's a fake video her ring disappears in one second her hair looks fake this is an old she wore that sweater 10 years ago and they made a deep fake based on the video those people like clearly have nothing going on in their life and like they're addicted to the high of like everybody it was fun you know for a while and they're really pissing me off and um they're my weenies of the week my weenie of the week so ours are very like inverted because my weenie of the week is the writer of the article Jackie if I'll just send you a screenshot.

My other runner up was author of the article. The writer of the article, an 8,000 word story, the cover of New York magazine for the fact that like Huberman likes to get it in. He likes women. He likes a lot of them. Yeah, I agree. That was a contender for me as well. That was insane.

We need to like zoom out on that not just the article that like there was a Huber attempted takedown like the cover of New York Magazine for what no especially like we're in an election year there's a war like there's so much going on in the world it's not like it's like quiet times yeah the cover just all's that to say the girlies love Huberman and Huberman loves the girlies. And the thing is, it really moved the needle. Not at all. Claudia, and he didn't go camping when he said he was going to go camping.

And he's not prompt. And he loves his dog, who I heard it passed away since, like, from the stress of the article. No, I'm kidding. Oh, my God. When Sarah was talking about, like, like dog tings that was like years ago he has since passed away like imagine oh that must have made through no that must have made like this week which I'm sure has been challenging for a few women nobody likes to be you know

written about like that I'm sure you know because I can relate if Theo was a big part of my cancellation and his name was kind of being besmirched and there was nothing I or he could do about it like actually I'm being dead serious like it would really bother me yeah also I found the person who people believe to be Sarah which based on context clues like is her I found her Instagram have you looked at it yet send it to me right now it is a treat what is it like it's um it's very like honestly it's who you would think Huberman would get into a relationship with like oh my god even this first video oh my god send it right now I'm obsessed okay oh my god you have to watch the first video the video I just sent you

I'm right she's female Hberman she's huberman i'm shocked it didn't work out i know well like it oh she cooks yeah that's her thing she's always cooking like but outside it's very homesteady and like health and heart health female like she is his mate i'm sad it didn't work out for them you know he can't be monogamous so um let's dive into our inaugural segment our inaugural episode of employee of the month so Jax who's your employee putting forward for employee of the month I'm waiting with bated breath this month I'm putting forward a lot turd what yeah turdy gets my nomination for employee of the month oh man I so didn't see this coming because obviously she's my employee of the month every month but I do feel like early in the month turdy really made

like strong progress she recorded two vlogs for the patreon by herself really contributing to premium content and I know it's later in the month so those things kind of get washed away by later events but it doesn't go unseen I feel like that sort of entrepreneurial spirit content creation premium content creation is why for me you're the employee of the month I'm honored thank you for noticing and it's so funny that you nominated me because I actually was going to nominate you oh you're lying yeah um because you know I'm planning this trip to Israel and you know I have a pit about like taking I'm like a nut like with the show and I brought it up to you and I was ready for you to be like rightfully like oh well maybe you could record like from you know Gaza like and I would have done it but like without question you were like

I got it and you didn't even like let me help without question, you were like, I got it. And you didn't even let me help with the guests. You were like, I got it. And to know that I'm leaving it in such fabulous hands and you didn't like make me feel bad about it. Like that was giving elite employee energy. It really was. Of course, it's my turn.

This show is a balance. I feel like the last two years, you've done way more guests than I have. When you're on tour, I do more guests than you. And you're traveling, you're doing important work. I know I'm going to make you a podcast from Israel. But it just made me

like more excited for my trip and just like feel good, you know? Yeah. We've got each other's backs. Gotta reach out to my network. Yeah, you do. So that was Elite Employee of the Month. We'll be back next month.

So you don't have to hear from us for another four weeks. That is also our show. Now let's just do like a quick touch base. You know, at the beginning of the show, we weren't like kind of like feeling life. How are you feeling now? Wonderful. I do feel like I've gotten it through my thick head that it's Friday. Thick.
