Good morning Millennials and happy Wednesday. I hope everybody's having like
the best day that they could possibly be having.
Given the circumstances I hope that your day is going as well as it could
possibly go.
Right. Hey Jax, how you doing?
I'm doing okay. I look forward to another day of
trying to buoy humanity and the Jewish community.
Yeah.
Because that is our role to play in the war to come amongst others, but I think
it's a very important role and it helps me I think it helps you and it helps a lot of people so I am committed
to doing that while still talking about what's going on talking about the celebrity element
and sharing resources for how you can help 100 you just reminded me of something like not to
change the subject so swiftly on you um we started a list yesterday of phrases like we need to start
saying more regularly and just things we need to start saying more regularly
and just things we need to start remembering.
And I had one.
Okay.
Is the blank in the room with us?
Yeah, that's something that you saw on TikTok.
It's not like I saw on TikTok.
It's just like what people say on TikTok.
And you like it.
And I like it.
Yeah, it's like when someone like, okay, Jackie, tell me like me like hold on tell me like that you feel really
beautiful today like you'd be like I look really beautiful today no because I feel like you're
gonna like just can you say it for the way that your phrase is it sounds like you're about to
make fun of me okay say be like I look so fuck I keep I can't like explain this the way okay no okay this isn't booing watching you stutter and fumble no it's like when somebody brags like
oh my god I'm having such a hard time explaining like the proper use of this phrase am I okay
is the blank in the room with us like maybe you could find the TikTok you saw it in and share it
it's not like a one-time TikTok it's just like when somebody on TikTok brags, like, look how, you know, fancy my room looks.
And someone will comment, is the fanciness in the room with us?
Okay.
That's a good example.
Is that a good example?
Yes.
Yeah.
No, it's so funny.
And I probably should learn how to properly use it before I try to like start adding it
to my weekly vernacular.
And disseminating it.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I totally botched it.
Can somebody like write a good comment explaining it? And so you were gonna make fun of me as the beauty in the room. Yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I'm not falling for that. But it wasn't about you it was it was hypothetical.
I understand I just feel like there were other situations that could be less hurtful. So do you
want to add it to the list? You didn't make the best case for it but I'll do it because I love you
and you're my sister and we're 50-50 and if it's to you, it's important to me. Wow, I love that energy.
Also,
I need to talk about things that are booing us.
Is the blank in the room?
Yeah, what's booing you?
Because I have a few things
to help buoy you.
One,
my episode of The Redheads is out.
Claudia listened to it this morning
and the comedian herself
said it was comedy gold.
It was really funny.
How funny are we?
Just really, really good.
I think we need to move
to the comedy category. It's highly competitive. It is but the redheads there's nothing like them.
Nobody can beat them. Yeah but also the redheads kind of like put out that episode without posting
anything else about like the war in Israel. No I heard that the redheads are very anti-Israel.
You could possibly think that because we've been silenced or silenced radio silence from the redheads
disgusting and we put out that episode not even acknowledging what's going on so if you think
maybe the redheads don't stand with israel i'm here to tell you that we absolutely do i run our
instagram account and all of my efforts are being put towards my personal on your bigger channel
toast but i do need to make a statement for them from the redheads plus dropping an episode like
in the middle of a war without context could seem insensitive could seem insensitive no you should
also actually now I'm being serious like put together I saw Emily how three's a list of books
for anybody who wants to like know more about the conflict or just like you know uh learn about the
Jewish people and the struggle history yes that is my plan but you know the redheads are Instagram's
very curated so I have to make the card I And as stated, like I've just had a lot going on.
But that is priority today for sure.
The episode's 30 minutes.
So it's just like a nice.
I listened to it while I was doing my hair this morning.
A nice little treat if you just want some lighthearted fodder.
Plus I'm also on Straight Up With Stassi podcast.
And that's another little treat if you want some lighthearted fodder.
It was a really fun episode.
Claudia was like sitting next to me while I recorded it.
I was sitting right here and Jackie was sitting right there.
So the voice of Claudia is in the episode. I'm constantly like asking her, wait, Claude,
what about this? Yeah, that kind of makes the episode worth listening to. Yeah, for Turdy's
influence. For Turdy's voice. So when you're done listening to The Toast today and you still need to
be buoyed, there's two more podcasts that you can listen to with your girl. And I think it's
important to have things to look forward to. I agree.
I feel like yesterday I was actually like,
I needed things to buoy me.
Like I had a really bad night last night.
Like I feel like people always say,
and it's something I've never been able to relate to,
like when they're stricken with grief or just like going through really hard times,
like I can't sleep, I can't eat.
Like for me in my life,
and no matter what I've been going through,
I can always sleep and I can't eat like for me in my life and no matter what I've been going through like I can always sleep and I can always eat I I was shook when I weighed myself
this morning like not in the way that I'm usually shook I cannot eat I'm nauseous all the time I
literally woke up I literally thought I was pregnant like I fell asleep nauseous and I woke
up nauseous I feel physically ill like yesterday was just like a yesterday we were together a lot
and so I feel like we were like I feel good when I'm with other people but like the second I got home
I was literally not okay like physically or emotionally um so like I need the toast you
buoy me today yeah I'm like I'm sick we are gonna do our best and I feel like we have been doing
as good a job as we possibly can given that there's so much on our minds and on our hearts
and so we're just gonna keep it real with you guys about how we're feeling I'm wearing this
cowboy sweatshirt today because it's the only sweatshirt I brought to New York with me I don't
know if the cowboys made a statement um if they didn't I won't be wearing it again I'm sure that
they did I googled it I said Dallas Cowboys Israel but there's a player named Israel and he came up
so I said Dallas Cowboys Hamas nothing came up I never
thought I'd be googling Dallas Cowboys Hamas I don't think Hamas thought they you'd ever be
googling Dallas Cowboys Hamas I don't think the Cowboys thought I'd ever be googling Dallas Cowboys
Hamas but so many sports teams have come out strong in support of Israel so you know I would
honestly assume that they have like if the Cowboys haven't there are so many teams for me to be a fan
of right now I'm so impressed by the sports world yeah the sports world for before a lot of games
have been you know having moments of silence like it's it's very um I know it feels like meaningless
and performative but I actually really don't agree I think seeing things like that bring me great
comfort just knowing like there's 10,000 people or however many are in a stadium or a baseball field
like who all like know that this is wrong. Like that actually brings me great comfort.
And I find maybe what other people would refer to
as performative activism.
Like it brings me great comfort.
Yeah, I totally agree.
There was like a huge Israeli flag in that baseball game.
That video went around.
Also, I wanted to talk about something
because I feel like when people talk
about performative activism,
they always talk about the black square
and everyone's like, remember the black square?
We're not doing this anymore.
I didn't feel that way about the black square. I tell you what how I saw the black square like
when I woke up that day I forget which day it was but it was Thursday nobody was posting anything
other than a black square and my entire Instagram feed was black squares people who I follow you
know in my personal life who never post at all who just use Instagram passively never post I've
never seen a post of theirs every single post was a black square I did
not see one other personal content from an influencer or a person no ads nothing self-promotional
and it felt like an international day of mourning and I remember feeling like wow if this if people
ever did this for the Jews how much that would mean to me you know it I completely agree now I
think it's like it's dismissed as performative I remember. I didn't interpret it that way.
I remember experiencing it as like, we're not distracted.
We're not talking about literally anything else than this.
And it was extremely powerful.
I agree.
I think now like people remark on it differently, but at the time.
I feel like at the time people didn't appreciate it either.
And then they thought that it was like taking away from the messaging of the movement because
then Instagram was flooded,
but I just felt like I would like you,
you had to pay attention.
Yeah,
no,
I completely agree.
So I don't feel like I don't feel that way about social media activism,
even just posting up a card.
Like it,
I think it means something and it matters to me.
Yeah.
No.
As someone on the other side,
like I,
I feel like you
can't it's all good yeah like I don't really see how and we're not even saying like stop posting
your coffee right and your lip balm and your ads I know it's prime day you guys have commitments I
just yeah but like you can post where you stand yeah no I I agree with you and if you're not
posting anything at all none of those things
and you don't have to post anything right no it's not like a requirement and I kind of like I'm
struggling with so many like internal conflicts yeah because I find myself like being like
judgmental and like shame like police shame post post shaming people yes in my head no I'm not you
know a little bit on the toast too a little bit on my Instagram yeah yeah actually I'm definitely
and like I I feel like I'm turning into like a person who's annoying and someone I would like hate but it's like it's
conflicting feelings I understand that but what happened was so egregious yeah an evil we've never
seen in our lifetimes in this century ever inconceivable evil so I want to know the people
that I follow and the people that I know like is this ambiguous for you I don't want to know you I don't want to follow you it's so true like
when you break it down like you're right and the people who come on with like statements of like
six slides it's like I don't I don't need to hear your verbal diarrhea like I need to know where do
you stand like that's it yeah no totally and I don't need to hear why you can't tell me where
you stand or why I don't need to hear where you can't tell me where you stand. Or why I don't need to hear where you stand.
Like.
Yeah.
No.
I do need to know like which of my friends are going to justify and excuse terrorism.
Like I absolutely need to know.
For sure.
And I think it's really important to know.
Like in no way do I think that everything else should stop.
No.
And I think we'll talk about.
Not that it could.
I think we'll talk about that with our first story.
We can barely get people to just stand with Israel unequivocally without the but at the
end of the sentence.
Let alone to stop posting their nonsense.
And some of the nonsense is booing.
So I'm not even asking.
Yeah, no, I don't think that's required.
And I don't know if it would necessarily even be like, you know, more helpful.
I think it's perfectly fine to like, the rules of social media are so bizarre and they're so fluid and they're always changing.
But like in this moment, I feel like it really is okay to continue to go on with your life,
especially if your job is influencing content, creating, being a celebrity, putting out content.
I think that is fine.
But I do think it's, you know, also important to just announce where you stand.
Like, are you ashamed of where you stand?
And there are so many graphics that I've seen that don't say much, but they say enough.
The one that's like, you don't have to be Jewish.
You don't have to be Israeli.
You just have to be human. When I see to be Israeli. You just have to be human.
When I see that, agreed.
You just have to be human.
Yeah.
It is inhuman to see what we saw, to have that not be enough for you,
to doubt what you've seen, to say, oh, this is fake news.
This is propaganda.
It's like everyone is doubting this like baby's claim
because they won't release pictures.
It's like, how badly do you want to see decapitated babies and they released a picture today so it's really graphic if you're
on social media and they released a picture like that's how much doubt was cast upon this like
first they just told us about it and people didn't it wasn't enough then not tanya who showed president
biden pictures he came on and he said i saw it right biden confirmed yesterday that he saw it
and people were like he mumbled what so they posted a picture
where if you need to see a picture which I don't think most of you do but if you if you do need to
see it in order to believe it where was it posted it's on twitter you could find it okay it's really
really upsetting I didn't see it do you see it. I saw somebody had like blocked out some of it.
So I saw like part. Okay. So yes there's enough information out there for you to to get a grasp
on what's going on. And I think to not address it is just it's it's an interesting take. It's an
interesting take and I feel like so many people are like i don't want to take up space with my post on no you should take it up take up you
know what takes up space those six slides i have to spend time reading that everybody else shares
and hides behind so i've got to read it again yeah that's taking up time and space yeah shove it up
your ass jackie went there she went there unless you're saying something like if you're saying i saw a
statement that literally said nothing i know said absolutely nothing that is taking up space
knowing the font is so you're better off not saying anything seriously like no shade because
you've just said nothing no you sound dumb it was. It was like, I stand with the people of the world.
I love oceans.
I love oceans.
It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.
It came from an account that you wouldn't expect anything more.
It was like, words are vibrations.
Oh, one of those accounts.
One of those accounts.
Third eye shop crop.
No, I like third eye thoughts.
Third eye blind.
I love third eye thoughts.
They're really introspective.
I don't need to hear from third eye thoughts on this matter. Right right right right right. So like
what else? What else? We have some celeb news. We have some celeb ex-war news. Celeb ex-war.
And that's what we do here because we know you're all sitting around doing the same thing.
And I just want to say I like I know we have I've heard a lot from toasters who live
or visiting Israel and they said the toast is booing them. So like we are committed to being
as funny as possible today for them. Yeah. Which we always are. We don't have to try.
We don't even have to try. I feel like when we try that's like when it's not funny. It's so true
and I kind of feel myself trying. No. No and yesterday I was like not trying and we were
so funny yesterday. It is what it is is who would have thought like wartime episodes being some of this
they're so important yeah shall we like I guess I guess it is time for the fast five stories that

Today's episode is also brought to you by Battered Fertility. Think back to sex ed for a moment. You
probably learned all about how to prevent pregnancy, but what about how to plan for it?
And if you've always been a big fan of planning ahead like we have, you know, you schedule trips
months in advance, plotting out your next career move. You should be doing the same for kids. So the traditional guidance with
fertility has always been just to wait and see, but modern fertility is changing that. It's an
easy and affordable way to test your fertility hormones at home with a simple finger prick.
Mail it in with a prepaid label and you'll get your personalized results within six business days.
You can get insight into your hormone levels like your ovarian reserve and other important factors that can impact your fertility. The results go deep into what every
hormone means and you can also download the results to review with your doctor for next steps.
Hormone testing at a fertility clinic can cost over $600, but Modern Fertility tests the same
general set of hormones for only $179. And if you go to modernfertility.com slash toast, you can get

Wow, you're kind of relaxed with the iPad recently.
Claudia, I'm in no rush. Plus, it's hard for us to find things to talk about, so I'm taking my time.
It is hard for us.
Gotta make the episode long.
It is really hard for us to find things to talk about.
Okay, the first story, what everyone's talking about in CelebXWarnings.
Oh.
Taylor Swift forged ahead with her dumbass movie premiere,
has yet to say anything about anything going on in the world.
She had the Swift Eras Tour concert film premiere
in Los Angeles,
smiling on the red carpet with her celeb friends,
posting videos with Beyonce,
yet to mention Slaughterfest 2023.
Yeah, so I have like literally
not been able to process this.
Like when I was on my Instagram yesterday
and she posted like a picture of her in her outfit,
which was heinous,
getting ready for,
like I was,
I was floored.
Like I understand that this is an event that's been planned
and like you're not,
you don't need to cancel it.
No, and that's what we just said.
Like you have your work commitments.
Right.
Do your thing.
For sure.
And she hasn't said anything.
And even if you're not going to say anything,
to post about it on Instagram, like for me,
just takes it to another level.
Like have the event.
Do you want to stay silent?
Fine, still stay silent.
But to post about it on Instagram, I don't know.
I was just shook beyond words.
And my lack of interest in this story is like beyond me
because this is, a week ago I would have had so much to say about Beyonce.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Like it's fabulous she
everyone keeps pitting them against each other Beyonce looked fucking amazing like I could go on
but honestly like it's one of the craziest it does anyone else not like it this is crazy no it's
crazy and you said yesterday Taylor doesn't speak on these issues so you don't expect her to speak
but she does she does you know you're right I uh the swifty the Jewish 50s like and I have been chatting and they're like no for for many many many many years
she never said one thing about one thing ever and then that started to backfire on her and then I
think kind of performatively she started like picking and choosing kind of safe causes um
and putting a lot of energy behind it and she actually got like a lot of backlash
for it especially from the queer community because it felt just like inauthentic um to like make it
your brand right and no I had forgotten about that like she she in recent years and it was
covered a lot in her documentary now I've spoken to the Jewish Swifties and we are like crestfallen
like for real um and there has been like a theory going
around, which I do think has validity and I'll shed some light on it. You know, Taylor speaking
out is huge, bigger than any celebrity ever. She's, you know, actively on a world tour. And I think
it could be a possible concern. She talked about it in the documentary um about her safety you know taking a
stance against a terrorist organization one of the most powerful people in the globe who's going to
be traveling around the world in the coming year i guess that's fair who wants to tell her hamas
doesn't care if you stand with them or against them like they're coming for you just the same
so so factual no it's factual i just wanted to share with the jewish 50s like we're i've seen
that theory we're struggling i've seen that theory and we're grasping at straws I know and you guys are
getting really creative and I think that there's probably some merit and some fear maybe but you
also have to you know have a spine no for sure and honestly I was really shook because I didn't
really put together I wasn't thinking about the fact that it was ERA's night launch.
Like I just wasn't, it wasn't on my radar.
And the first thing I saw was that Instagram post.
And then when I was on Twitter,
I saw a picture of Maren Morris.
And I've been monitoring Maren Morris
because she's like a very vocal queen.
She actually, we didn't even talk about it on the toast,
but like she, it was kind of misleading
because she like did it
and the media like kind of misinterpreted.
Then she went on a podcast and said like kind of,
but she basically said like, I'm formally leaving like the country music industry
like my music will still be country but I'm not releasing it with country record labels anymore
like I don't want to be a part of the Nashville crew because I find country music just to be like
hypocritical and they don't stand for equality and she thinks they're spineless like there's
obviously just politics like a difference of a politics there and that was her you know big
moment when she like a week or two ago and I that was her you know big moment when she
like a week or two ago and I've been looking at Maren Morris's page not promoting excuse me not
promoting hasn't said a word yeah promoting her children's book how dare she who would dare she
can promote it in between you know her statement I was shocked because she just made this huge um
pronouncement and and the reason for her leaving is like you know her her statement. I was shocked because she just made this huge... Pronouncement.
And the reason for her leaving is like,
you know, her progressive beliefs.
Right.
That none of that aligns with the country music world.
And it's like, well, here you go.
Right.
This was not progressive.
Do you have something to say about it?
About the women being raped.
Right.
About a country that...
I read something crazy today
that 93% of people in Gaza
are against homosexuality.
93%.
They said it was the highest in the world.
That's not progressive.
No, that's what I'm saying.
So that Maren Morrison really struck me.
I was like, wow.
Just her presence there, I was like, I was shook.
And also, I think it's high time we start talking about what happened between
Kelsey Ballerini and Taylor Swift I saw a video on TikTok before the war BW where um Taylor was
Kelsey was on a red carpet and she was asked like what do you think about Travis and Kelsey
and she was like oh I think it's great I hosted SNL with and I love Travis and you know Taylor
and I were close for many many years were close for many many years and the comments were like we're and now it feels like Taylor's like new you know country girl BFF
is barren is barren yeah but is that surprising how many were close friends to Taylor has Taylor
had wow like now we can be honest yeah no I really like might be 50 no she definitely has a lot of
you know coming and going she has a lot of Roman empires. Yeah. The girl you used to be friends
with. So back to Beyonce and Taylor. Also also worth noting Beyonce has not said a
word. Right. So I don't know this gave me nothing. Like this is something I would
have like seriously like died over. Especially because Beyonce looks so
gorgeous. Yeah it would have been a great moment for women but we just had like a
really bad moment for women.
So maybe we could have like women
talking about that.
There's no serotonin.
Like my brain doesn't
there's no wave activity
when seeing this photo.
It's enormously disappointing.
Yeah.
And I'm struggling with how to grapple.
Like seriously I'm really struggling.
Yeah.
The Jewish 50s are not fucking okay.
I will give you space and time.
Thank you.
Like please don't come at like.
No, I know you're loving this.
No, I'm not.
I'm not.
I would have loved for her
to be the queen
that we need her to be.
Speaking of.
Oh wait, wait, wait.
Wait, what are you going to say?
Kings and queens.
No.
But save that.
You know who was at
the Eris tour
that like a lot of people are talking about is Adam Sandler.
Right.
Because he's like pretty much like the most prominent Jewish celebrity who is so proudly Jewish and everything he does.
And he's been and he's not like a person who releases statements.
Like he's just a dad.
But like.
He's not an influencer.
He's not on Instagram.
We don't like.
To me he's not required.
He's not required.
And I imagine.
I just watched his movie
and I've seen quotes about him talking about Israel.
Like he loves the state of Israel.
He did a big Howard Stern thing once.
So I believe he's someone who is, you know,
his role is not Instagram influencing.
True.
I'm sure he is helping behind the scenes in his personal life.
We all have a role to play in the war to come.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I have no issue at the moment.
But I'm saying, like, I have to imagine if, like, you know, Taylor was, like, a Hamas
lover, Adam wouldn't have gone.
Like, they know each other personally.
I don't know.
I'm really struggling.
Like, I'm grasping at straws.
No, I don't think it's that.
I think, you know, his daughters probably really wanted to go.
Yeah.
And he went.
Okay.
Speaking of kings and queens.
Yes.
So interesting.
And, like, the way that this show has just, like, changed in the last week is so crazy.
Because Kate Middleton, Prince William, and King Charles put out a statement yesterday
about the war.
They said the prince and princess of Wales are profoundly distressed by the devastating
events that have unfolded in the past days the horrors inflicted by hamas's terrorist
attack upon israel are appalling they utterly condemn them as israel exercises its right of
self-defense all israelis and palestinians will continue to be stalked by grief fanger anger fear
and anger and fanger and fanger in the time to come. A very strong statement. A very strong statement.
And we were saying yesterday how Megan and Harry were on their mental health world tour.
They haven't said much.
You know, they like to speak out for causes.
And especially like humanitarian crises such as this.
Crises.
And they put out a statement yesterday too.
After Will and Kate.
After Will and Kate.
And I have to imagine like Will and Kate's statement lit a fire under their tissues now.
The timing.
Like, I guess, but a lot of people, you know, a lot of people really say this.
Perhaps yesterday was a big day for a lot of people. You're right, you're right, you're right.
Who couldn't really ignore it for much longer.
They said, at the Archwell Foundation with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess
of Sussex, we stand against all acts of terrorism and brutality.
We are supporting our partners and organizations on the front lines in Israel to provide the
urgent aid needed and to help all innocent victims of this unconscionable level of human suffering.
No, that's the thing.
Like, I knew Markle and her sparkle would show up.
Like, Rachel Zane would never not show up.
Like, I, like, I, this, again, brings me great comfort.
These are people with so much influence.
Like, these are, like, AAA-less.
Like, I always think of them
on the same level
as Michelle and Barack.
Like former dignitaries
of sorts, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Former like heads of state.
And I don't know,
I feel like they all just go
to like Martha's Vineyard together.
Diplomats.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you know,
Barack Obama put out
something really strong too.
Like I think these are people
with enormous influence
like all over the country.
Not just in like elite circles,
you know?
And I'm grateful
I really really am so grateful so appreciative of this strong statement from Megan and Harry
in the ranking of beloved celebrities on this show Megan has now surpassed Taylor Swift I'm telling
you and if you had told me that last week like by the way next week you guys are going to be
so here for Megan Markle and so not here for Taylor. If you told me that. I could have told you the Meghan Markle thing.
Like, I've been telling you, you need to watch Suits.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
She, I just, I knew it.
Like, she's a fucking queen.
Well, former.
Princess.
Queen.
She's a queen.
Like, that's my bitch right there.
I love her.
Yeah, so that's some good celebrity ex-war news.
I just want to say, like, I still find Harry annoying.
Like, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
But, you know, doing the right thing.
No, no.
All beef is
squashed no it's so true like the media landscape is forever changed for me for me and it it should
be yeah yeah speaking of the media landscape um SAG-AFTRA oh my god are back to negotiations as
studios suspend negotiations.
So talks between SAG-AFTRA and the major studios have broken down as the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV Producers said Wednesday
that the gap between the sides is too great.
In a statement to members after midnight,
the union accused studios of engaging in bully tactics
and said that the studios had walked away from the bargaining table
after refusing to counter the union's latest offer.
Like a couple of
weeks ago we were told it's going to be any day now like we're good we're pretty much there just
dot the t's sign the i's yeah that was about the writers no that was about the actors the writers
were confirmed okay and then they're like and sag is imminent sag is three four days away that's
what they said so now the studios have walked away from the table but the writers are
good like the writers are back at work okay happy for the writers what does this mean for the actors
like are we gonna get all new actors now I don't know or like maybe a new different union like
maybe people who want to go back to work and and are fine accepting less because it's all they can
get they're like listen we got to work so I don't I honestly like I have no idea um
I don't know like and now how long has this been going on was it since July that's really long
yeah and like thankfully most of the tv I watch is like the nanny like shows that the friends
yeah sex in the city like I've just been watching the same five shows um but like people gotta work
this ain't cool yeah you know I am you know going to an event that Fran Drescher is scheduled to be
at next week maybe I'll just ask her like Franny what up yeah wait I just put together Franny the
nanny even though they call her Fran it should have been called the Franny. That's how she became The Franny.
So.
But also like, I guess writers, a lot of writers write for TV shows with actors. But a lot of writers write for like daytime.
So I feel like some of the writers who are now probably not striking anymore still don't have work because they write on scripted shows.
Right.
That sucks.
Yeah.
It's all one big organism.
Right, right.
And I feel like SAG went on strike in solidarity with WGA,
and now they're alone on strike.
Yeah, but they had their own things to worry about too.
For sure, for sure.
You don't just go on strike for nothing.
Yeah.
So who knows?
The SAG saga continues to confound. Maybe Fran like will
drop out of the event because she's now like so busy like it's. It sounds like her schedule just
freed up they're done negotiating they walked away. Yeah but she is like a union to answer to
you know like thousands of members. Yeah. I'll let you guys know if I see her. I think that you will.
I mean, the studio's walked away,
so either she has to come back
with her tail between her legs,
or actors are gonna leave the union,
or new actors are gonna get jobs
that they wouldn't have gotten.
Yeah.
At this moment in time.
I can't believe this is still going on.
If you ever wanted to be a movie star,
really now is your time.
Yeah, but the dangers of that, they say,
it's like if you're wanting to be a movie star,
you can technically take advantage of this strike if you're not in SAG
and get a role you never would have gotten because no eligible SAG person is around.
If you do that, you're immediately like blacklisted from SAG.
So if SAG remains, and I'm sure it will, like this prestigious union that you have to be a part of,
and you acted this way during the strike.
Hashtag the SAG remembers.
I think that there's going to be a coup within SAG of actors who cannot take this.
First of all, people who actually like need to work.
Yeah.
The smaller actors, they'll start.
And they can also say like, hey, if we defect, we can get these bigger roles.
I think that's what's going to happen.
That's usually what happens.
Like Lord of the Flies energy.
Yeah. fact we could get these bigger roles I think that's what's going to happen that's usually what like lord of the flies energy yeah however I do think SAG um has a big fund that a lot of
like the one percent of like they say like 99% of people in SAG don't make more than I think
$26,000 a year but that one percent of people make hundreds of millions and but it behooves
them to keep paying that fund so those people don't take their part right open your eyes so a lot of big actors are um keeping them at twenty six thousand dollar salaries i was gonna say a
lot of big actors are contributing to the fund to keep them at twenty six but that fund's gonna run
out quick taking their million dollar salary and by the way i don't know how much really longer
that fund can go on paying like a hundred thousand people's rent bills for the first couple of weeks it was like noble and but now it's like how much money is that a lot yeah I don't know I think we're gonna see the sag turn on each other
what is the new sag called hag yeah sag oh no sack I'm not okay. There's other stuff. Oh my God.
I was not saying that.
Wag.
Wag.
Bring back wag.
Zuh.
Zuh.
Are you ready for our next story?
Yeah. Some odd celebrity news.
Sharon Osbourne says she and Ozzy still have an assisted suicide pact in place.
That's so them.
The talk show host, Sharon,
initially addressed... What show is she on?
She was on...
The Talk.
The Talk.
But she's not anymore.
No.
She's on Ozempic.
Yes,
and she's spoken about that.
She said she lost
too much weight.
Same.
She initially addressed
the subject
in her 2007 memoir,
Survivor,
My Story,
where she said
that the couple
would go to
the Swiss physician
assisted suicide organization
Dignitas should either
of them ever suffer from dementia.
The topic surfaced once again on the latest
episode of the Osbournes podcast,
which features the whole family.
During the conversation, Jack inquired
if euthanasia was still a plan for his
parents. Euthanasia is such a
crazy word. Yeah. I guess
assisted suicide is euthanasia. However, euthanasia makes such a crazy word yeah i guess assisted suicide is euthanasia however
euthanasia makes me think of dogs and the holocaust why didn't they euthanize people in the holocaust
they killed them it wasn't a mercy isn't like gassing people euthanization no it's just murder
oh okay like so what's euthanization it's like when you kill someone prematurely out of pity or them yes
oh okay never mind so then i think of dogs yes dogs get euthanized yes so sharon replied do you
think that we're gonna suffer aren't we already suffering and he uh said yes we all she said yes
we all are but i don't want it to actually hurt as well mental suffering is enough pain without
physical so if you've got mental and physical, see ya.
And then Kelly said, but what if you could survive?
And Sharon said, yeah.
Survive dementia?
Sharon said, yeah.
What if you survived and you can't wipe your own ass?
You're pissing everywhere.
Shitting.
Can't eat.
I just want to say, I'm not laughing at the side effects.
Dementia is horrible.
I'm laughing at you saying shitting yourself. I gotta listen to say I'm not laughing at the side effects. Dementia is horrible. I'm laughing at you saying shitting yourself.
I got to listen to this podcast.
This story begs a larger question.
Let's talk about the Osbournes.
Like they have been famous for as long as I've been alive.
I can't talk about the Osbournes without Kelly Osbourne on The View.
I can't talk about the Osbournes without saying Sharon! I didn't know about that Kelly Osbourne
on The View clip. How about that Donald Trump? I fucking love that moment. It's
the funniest thing. And when you sent it to me it was the most shocking thing I ever saw.
If you've never seen just Google Kelly I keep almost saying Kelly Clarkson. Kelly
Osbourne The View Trump. Oh my god it's 10 seconds and the video just does not end
how you think it's gonna end it's the craziest thing I've ever seen I can't believe she still
works yeah but I guess her parents actually maybe google maybe google Kelly Osbourne toilet
I know Claudia like everyone knows everyone knows I'm sure if I google the internet will
know what you're looking for if I go to to Kelly Osbourne on Google and I see related searches,
it's going to be Kelly Osbourne, The View.
And I don't want to spoil it for you guys, and I don't want to ruin it.
Kelly Osbourne, 2023, baby, weight loss.
Oh, wait.
View.
It's buried.
She's a team of people working on it.
It's buried.
Propaganda.
It's there, but you have to write the whole thing out.
Got it.
You have to find it.
But it really, I think we should just take, like, a step back and think about the Osbournes
at large.
Like, they are famous because he was in a band called Black Sabbath.
Very, very, very, very successful.
And him and Sharon became, like, this iconic rock.
And then they had kids, and then they had the reality show.
And, like, I just don't know why, like, they're still like it's just like crazy to me now yeah what does Jack do right
oh that was an actual question no right Google like he does what every like nepo kid does yeah
stuff projects and such projects of that nature projects of that nature. Projects of that nature. Understood. I just,
I think it's crazy that like all these people
are famous.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah,
but they're like,
but that's what,
for a very long time
in this country,
like that's what America loved.
Like families
of famous people.
Like their show on E!
was around the same time
as the Kardashians.
Like there was an obsession
with like family reality shows.
And there are,
not even just famous people, like all those TLC shows obsession with, like, family reality shows. And there are. Not even just famous people.
Like, all those TLC shows.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Johnny Cate.
Stacey and Darcy Silva.
Yeah.
Are those 600?
No, no.
Or 1,000?
That's Tammy and Amy.
1,000 Pound Sisters.
They're not 1,000 Pounds anymore.
What are they?
I would say, collectively, I don't want to guess someone's weight.
But they lost the weight?
Yeah.
How?
Like one did and then the other was put on a ventilator.
I'm not sure.
Like it was, honestly.
How did they lose it?
I think one of them got surgery.
But like one of them, honestly, I don't know.
I don't keep up with the thousand pound sisters.
I prefer to watch 600 Pound Life.
Individual stories.
Got it.
But they got their own show, Tammy and Amy.
Right, right. it's a crazy
name for a show I actually I actually remember the first time I saw it in my tv guide I was floored
no TLC goes hard no and you know what like they have a niche and they kill it like who would you
say competes with TLC for like freak show they They're like, they find people with like the biggest pimples ever on their backs and give
them their own shows about what it's like to live with a pimple that big.
Like it's a circus.
No, but like Netflix hasn't even like, they see what TLC does and they're not even trying
to copy it.
Like that's how much of a lock they have.
That's how singular their niche is.
Yeah.
Some of their shows, like the titles,
like at first they started innocently,
like Toddlers and Tiaras and John and Kate Plus Eight.
Then they had like the Duggars
with 19 kids.
And counting.
And counting,
because like they were constantly,
you know, fucking.
And then they just like,
honestly, I need to Google
like craziest shows TLC has ever produced.
Okay.
Because I feel like you wouldn't believe it
unless TLC has ever produced. Okay. Because I feel like you wouldn't believe it unless TLC ever.
I mean, who could forget Breaking Amish?
Right.
Who could also forget Extreme Cheapskates?
Oh, yeah.
Hoarders.
Hoarders.
Buying Naked.
Are you familiar with that?
No.
Oh, I've seen this.
Sex Sent Me to the ER.
Dramatizations. It's like people's stories that they dramatize i didn't know i was pregnant yep yep yep yep best funeral ever okay wait screen rant.com the 10 weirdest tlc shows of all
oh excuse me it's not even on here my strange addiction oh my god extreme couponing i want to
say that's one of the best shows on tv we could all learn a lot from those people. Here comes Honey Boo Boo. Hoarding, Buried Alive. DUI, perhaps one of the
most forgettable series. DUI was a production in the same vein as Cops or Live PD, in which
television crews chronicled the arrests and prosecutions of Oklahoma residents caught
driving while intoxicated. Oklahoma's notorious for its stringent DUI laws, and the series
highlighted the stresses and consequences
of those working their way through the court system
after being arrested.
Breaking Amish, extreme cheapskates.
Buying naked.
House hunting shows are incredibly popular
and when combined with feuding couples
or unexpected expenses,
the ups and downs of the housing market
can make for surprisingly exciting TV.
But in 2013, TLC decided to take it a step further
by debuting... Of course they did further by debuting a series that focused on the house hunting experiences of nudist
couples. Oh, I should be on the show Freaky Eaters, a program that highlighted
individuals struggling to absolve themselves of irregular eating habits
from a man who hoarded more than 100 gallons of maple syrup in his home to a
woman who habitually drank up to 30 cans of soda per day me um aired for two seasons oh my god this cannot be a real show my teen is pregnant and so am i
my strange addiction like mtv like had team mom yeah they just take it so far they just have to
obsess like i i really respect and applaud their ingenuity and constant creativity.
Yeah.
To finding the craziest people in the country.
Like what their writers room is like.
And like the ideas that are thrown in.
But they don't have.
Oh, yeah.
Not like.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Like their creative.
Their think tank.
We're doing a brainstorm.
Like what's the craziest show we could do?
Yeah, like new development team.
Yeah.
That would be just insane.
Am I being called?
Who's calling now?
It's the iPad.
The iPad's...
No, the iPad's here.
It's my computer.
Oh.
It says you're
calling me.
What?
Oh, no, sorry.
Never mind.
Sorry.
Someone else.
Okay.
My phone, like,
didn't update.

are you ready for our next story i guess
give me a second this pop-up won't go away teresa judice and her daughters and orders
teresa and her daughters slammed for partnering with problematic fast fashion brand so teresa
and three of her daughters faced backlash for partnering with fast fashion retailer sheen
teresa and all of her daughters shared a
video posing in several dresses matching sets and pajamas for their judaist girls x sheen collab they
said we're so excited to finally announce our partnership with sheen official to create the
ultimate saying it like sheena like sheena sheen because if it was up to me i would say shine so
i'm trying to get it right shine shine on girl it's she what, girl. It's Shein. What am I saying? Sheen?
Shein, no?
It's S-H-E-I-N.
There's no reason the company's named that.
Like Shein.
Maybe Shein.
Sheout.
That's what I was thinking.
Like Shein.
But like that's not even a good name.
If your company name is so,
like is causing so much disruption and discourse,
you need to reevaluate.
A lot of things they do cause disruption and discourse.
And they're not reevaluating. but i should watch your video to see how
the daughters pronounce it yeah but they said all it's a ultimate pre-holiday collection they said
all the pieces are a reflection of us it's very glittery and gold lots of glamorous fun and chic
styles that are perfect for everyone we even made to make sure to include comfy and luxe sleepwear
for your next girls night in so while several fans have flocked to congratulate the women,
several others criticized them for working with Shein
as the company has been accused of unethical business practices
and copying work of other designers.
Someone said, why Shein though?
One of, if not the most problematic clothing lines there is.
I guess the shoe fits.
Fucking rude.
Someone said, Shein is some of of the cheapest junkiest clothes it's
fitting this is mean i have a hot take here oh wow because you know i'm not like theresa's fan
no um first of all everyone works with she in like why is it coming down on the daughters
no just like trying to be like industrial self-starting women they got a this is the
brand that gave them a collab right and they took it no and by the way maybe not everyone
works with she in but they work with a different variety fashion boohoo pretty little
thing asos like all who really do this h&m all who really fashion nova all who really fashion nova
oh all who sheen takes the brunt of it but they all have very similar business practices that
are problematic yeah that are fast fashion that are copying other people that are made of crap
that are bad for the environment why is this coming down on the judaist girls shoulders who are just trying to like
provide for their families i'm sure they sell like restitution they're not turning down business
opportunities this is not their problem i agree like fast fashion falling on the shoulders of
melania juda gabriella juda gabriella juda it feels wrong it feels wrong and it feels misplaced
and to be honest
I think like
this is a great fit
for them brand wise
like
yeah
who if not
Teresa and her daughter
is like
is gonna do a brand collab
with Shein
you know
yeah
Chiara Ferragni's
not gonna do it
no
and it's a big opportunity
for them
they are like
little influencers
on their own
this is probably
the kind of clothes
they wear
this is the kind of clothes
their followers wear.
Like if you want to take on fast fashion,
like don't start with the little person
who's just trying to like, you know,
pay back their restitution.
Right, no.
And if we want to talk about fast fashion,
like we also need to talk about
like the lack of options otherwise.
Like I don't see a ton of ethically made $10 shirts.
I don't see, by the way,
especially when I like needed see, by the way, especially when I needed
to shop for bigger sizes,
good luck getting anything
in a 14 or above
that's not made in a sweatshop.
We need to wear clothes.
So let's talk about
lack of options.
It's not like she could've
done a partnership
with another company
that makes ethically sourced,
responsibly affordable clothing.
Like, there aren't options.
Yeah.
So if we want to, like, go in on fast fashion, there's a conversation to be had here.
But, like, I don't think the Judice is.
It needs to be at the table.
I don't think tearing the good Judice name down is going to be helpful here.
It's not going to be effective.
Haven't they been through enough?
Haven't they been through enough?
Not me defending Sheehan today.
Yeah.
Or the Judices.
Crazy.
But just crazy things happen every day on the show. No, and it's like we're, things are just being put in today. Yeah. Or the Jew Dices. Crazy. But just crazy things happen every day on the show.
No, and it's like we're, we're, things are just being put in perspective.
Yeah.
So I think this is mean.
Those, those tweets were mean.
Like you can comment on the state of fast fashion without saying it's fitting.
Yeah.
Then I'm not taking you seriously because you're mean.
It's so true.
So I stand with the Jew Dices today.
And the Jews. We stand with the Jewdices today and the jews we stand with the jewdices we do
our fifth i think that needs to be our title the jewdices standing with the jewdices
like jw right unless you don't think it would translate verbally orally i don't know it might
be confusing we'll take a look yeah we assess after. Maybe there's something yet to come
that would make an amazing title.
The best is yet to come.
Our fifth and final story.
The winning Powerball jackpot ticket
worth $1.765 billion sold in California.
This is the second largest prize ever.
It's always in fucking California.
The fourth billion dollar jackpot in history.
All of them sold in California.
What do you mean all of them?
They're going to have to split it?
No, no, no.
All of the billion dollar jackpots are from California.
We need a documentary on this.
Like.
It's giving McMillians.
McMillians.
McMillians.
Not enough people talk about like it's always California.
And I understand like if there have been four billion dollar prizes and California is so
big, maybe two of them.
Like I understand how population ratios work suspicious I have I have a thought okay one California is a
huge state so population ratios as you said but let's talk about the people of California and you
know they're a city of dreamers LA is the city of dreams they might just be a more lotto ticket buying town no california is so big
like north to south like la is not even california but maybe it's never sold in la proper it's like
always like somewhere completely random no but maybe the heart of the californian people is to
dream and everyone else in the country is like more realistic they're like you know this is a waste of money like to dream they're dreamers and their dreams came true no and the rest of the country maybe is a little more sensible
so you're saying they manifested it nobody else did that sounds like what you're saying they're
buying lotto tickets and no one else not no one else is no way but they're buying more lotto
tickets like per capita than the rest of the country because like their souls are the souls
of a dream no like i'm telling you nobody on the planet is
buying more lot of tickets than people in florida like that's just a fact well they also win too a
lot they do they're also a big state what is it no i know what you're saying by the way like
lottery tickets and like being obsessed with lottery kind of person it's cultural like it
definitely is i completely agree i'm just not buying that the dreamers of California proper are dreaming this into existence.
Like I'm just not buying it.
No, they're just like buying at a higher volume.
Their probability is higher because they are of the elk who dream.
They are of the elk who dream.
No, let me ask you another question.
Get your iPad back.
What's considered the poorest state in the country in terms of like, is that a stat like GDP kind of?
Yes, I'm sure.
Can I guess?
Sure.
Do you want to?
Yeah, no, I feel like I could get you canceled.
No, okay.
Is it West Virginia?
This is by the poverty rate, but that's not what we're saying.
No, I guess poverty rate.
Actually, it would be by individual.
And who cares what the you know legislation has there
I want to say West Virginia oh they're making me download the graphic hold on wait uh the port
Mississippi yeah that's what I'm seeing on this graphic interesting and then West
and then New Mexico and then Arkansas no No, Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico,
Arkansas, West Virginia.
Okay, that was a good guess by me.
Yeah.
So I would expect like more dreamer mentality from the poor states.
Like would that have high poverty rates?
Dreaming is priceless.
Can't put a price on the dream.
It's just, it's a, it's a it's a it's meant like it's not about
it's not about that it's not about statistics it's about dreams like it's just about
like like rich or poor you can dream you know it doesn't have to be
you don't have to have a certain amount or not a certain amount to dream like it's free
dreaming is okay so you're arguing against yourself because if dreaming is free,
then everyone would equally dream.
That's true.
Wow.
And that wouldn't be specific to California.
That's a good point.
But I just think that they are the elk who dream.
I think they have dreamer souls.
The elk who dream.
You know what, Jackie? I agree. They dreamer souls. The Elko dream. You know what, Jackie?
I agree.
They dare to dream.
I feel like even in those California propaganda commercials
where they're like, come, it's great.
I'm so glad you brought that up.
I feel like it's like California, like we got a dream.
And then he's like on the surfboard.
Skateboard.
Yeah.
What is up with like states having commercials?
And I want to say I've only seen it for California Michigan and New York well because they're suffering but I have also seen
it I think for North Dakota never no never and it's I get that it's like a bid to increase South
Dakota to increase tourism and people moving You know, and that increases revenue,
and creates jobs.
Like, I totally get the mathematics,
but, like, the concept of a state
having a commercial is so,
like, just goes against everything
I believe and understand, you know?
Yeah.
It's, I remember the first time I saw it,
Michigan went fucking hard.
Where, like, it was a river,
and then the river turned into the word Michigan.
Like, they went so hard with their propaganda. Like, they were the first ones to do it I will give them the
credit for being like you know thought leaders in their field but it's something I really can't
get on board with that's like when you talked about hospitals that have commercials weird I
feel like I didn't realize it's not like there's so many hospitals that it's like you know what
this one I better commercials I'm gonna go to that one Like you always go to like the one that's closest.
Right.
I guess not everything's always an emergency and you do get to choose.
Yeah, but you would choose based on your doctor and your doctor choose.
Like for an OBGYN, it's like your hospital is associated, your doctor is associated with
the hospital.
Yeah.
But also I never realized this and I'll explain when I did realize it.
But drugs companies, commercials, it's like, don't you just take what you don't go to your doctor
be like i saw a commercial for astrazeneca yeah it's so weird and i didn't even notice that until
people in the uk were watching megan and harry on oprah and all the commercials like for drug
companies they were like oh they don't have that they don't have that there and then it made me
see a difference i'm like by the way that's an amazing point i don't like go to my neurologist
and say i saw a commercial for this migraine medication.
Actually though,
first tip,
first of all,
first of all,
speaking of migraines,
nobody is doing more than NERDTEC OTD.
Yeah.
Lady Gaga and Khloe Kardashian as their sponsors.
Like,
I mean,
spokespeople.
I'm a migraine sufferer and I,
I still haven't like brought it up to,
to my doctor.
Okay.
But you know what?
Because I trust my doctor more than Lady Gaga and Khloe Kardashian.
Don't you feel like that might be changing now? Like with Ozempic, like that's a drug people are requesting to be doctor. Okay, but you know what? Because I trust my doctor more than Lady Gaga and Khloe Kardashian. Don't you feel like
that might be changing now
like with Ozempic?
Like that's a drug
people are requesting to be on.
Whereas before,
like they would go in
with an ailment
and say,
give me the best stuff.
Right, but Ozempic
isn't even getting
like the Nertec OTD treatment.
It's actually getting the opposite.
Yeah, but they,
and by the way,
they do have commercials.
Oh, oh, oh,
Ozempic.
Obsessed.
Talk to your doctor.
And,
but even their commercials don't address it being used as a treatment for weight loss.
It's all about insulin resistance.
Yeah.
So that's a very interesting point.
And I love that Megan and Harry brought that to us.
In addition to a strong statement yesterday.
Yeah.
What else is weird that they have commercials for?
During the Super Bowl, there was like a commercial for Jesus.
Oh, yeah. But I think in the end that ended up being like a commercial for Jesus. Oh, yeah.
But I think in the end that ended up being like a commercial for like a nonprofit or something.
Yes.
I also think that commercials in general, it's just like, who's actually influenced by this commercial?
Like, is this really going to change what brand of cookies I'm going to buy?
As a species, we are so evolved past commercials, like traditional TV commercials.
There are some things
if it's a new product
and I see a commercial for it,
like I might be,
you know,
helped.
But like to see a commercial
for Doritos,
like I either want to buy Doritos
or I don't at this point.
Like I've tasted them.
I know when I want a Dorito.
So I feel like with a Dorito,
like I think,
I put them in the category
of like Clorox.
Like they're doing
the commercials seriously,
like just to keep up appearances.
Like it's not.
But it's expensive.
Yeah, but like they have the money.
They're all in like this rat race
because I guess if Doritos dropped off,
but like other chips didn't.
Ladies is coming out.
Like I might forget about Doritos.
Right.
I mean, I could never, but I know what you're saying.
It just, it makes me think all the time.
Like you guys don't need a Super Bowl commercial.
Like that's a lot of money.
Donate it.
I actually disagree.
But of course donate money. But it's a rat race is what it is yeah when I think of commercials but to me there's no marketing more effective than a Super Bowl commercial when done right
but even for Doritos because I think there is like like the farmer's dog commercial like a
new brand you're hearing about it and it tugs at your heart but for Doritos it's like I'm either
gonna eat Doritos or I'm not no because it's it's a brand awareness like an image thing like Doritos is such a cool
brand like I always feel like they're partnering with cool people because they're keeping up
appearances like it's a cool factor yeah is it effective it must be like it must be I think for
some products and businesses it's so effective and for others I just feel like it's a waste like
Oreos like I either want an Oreo or I don't and your commercial is not going to change that but the thing is do
you ever not want an Oreo if I'm like picking out cookies in the aisle like if it's going to be Oreo
or chips ahoy like that decision's not going to be swayed based on a commercial no because it's
always going to be an Entenmann's and Entenmann's doesn't run commercials but they're also like not
as popular they don't have to but they're not as popular because they don't run commercials. But they're also like not as popular. Because they don't have to. But they're not as popular.
Because they don't run commercials?
I am.
Or because it's a smaller business.
It's a smaller business
because they don't run commercials.
It makes you think.
It makes you think.
And that's your marketing segment
