Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend. Friday, Friday. Getting down on Friday. That's right, congratulations. Congratulations, Class of 2004.

We did it! It is Friday. Congrats, Jax Congrats Thank you Claude You know I need this Friday I need the weekend It's been a jam packed week for our girl

So much toast So much driving I went out two nights this week Like crazy I am tie red The girl is beat The girl is beat So I'm looking forward to the weekend looking forward to this Friday show a little it's gonna be a very Friday episode I feel because the

stories are light as air yeah it's a it's a mixed bag and the girlies are tired so you never know what you're gonna get when you have that combination I just feel like whenever we have a show like this right after we wrap something major happens I mean it was like last week that Raquel and Tom's scandal came out after like a measly Friday episode yeah and I just can't wait to see what the universe has in store for us at 11 30 you want to make a prediction what's like the craziest thing that could happen that's a good question what's so crazy it's like you could never predict that's the point right that's the thing you can't predict it because it's so crazy and unpredictable it's unpredictable oh what song is that unbelievable oh that's what I thought but

I'm like that's not the words yeah I just I kind of improv'd I'm kind of musical like that you're kind of like a Jonas brother likes just singing and dancing I'm a Jonas sister for sure but I'm Kevin because you don't want to hear me on the mic but I have a lot to contribute to the group I'm so glad you brought that up because so last night me and Snitch went to the Jonas brothers are doing this really cool thing it's like promo for their new album um where they took over a Broadway theater in New York City this entire week and every night they're doing a show and every night they're focusing on one of their albums so last night was Lines Vines and Trying Times and like I chose to go to that one because to me Lines Vines and Trying Times is such an iconic album do you not agree it's such an iconic album if I could go to any one of their albums, can I, may I? I would have gone to the night before.

Which was like Jonas Brothers? No, that was their first one. And then there was the second one that had like, when you look me in the eyes. And also, Tell me that you love me. Okay, I just need to look, oh, a little bit longer.

Yes, a little bit longer and I'll be fine. And that's also burning up. So good. You know what that song means to me. Pushing me away. Jackie, you know what burning up means to me, right? High heels, red dress. Oh, no.

Color war in school. Ninth grade color war. Like we had to write a cheer and our team, like the school was split up up into teams and every team was a different element so the ninth graders were fire um and we went to a jewish day school so it was like partially hebrew too so fire in in hebrew is ash and we were like a pretty fire song to burning up um i forget how it goes. I would imagine were hot. Yeah, of course. They're cold. I've sung it on the toast before.

How does the chorus go? I'm slipping into the lava. It was in Hebrew. I don't remember. Whatever. And I'm trying to keep from going under. So Margot and I went to the concert last night. And I really. I would have assumed that like Lines, Vines and Trying Times is like.

Like one of their better albums. And I guess I'm not really like deep into the fandom. So like everyone who was there was like giggling before the show started. I was like, what am I missing? And the Jonas Brothers get on stage and they basically say like, we know this is like our flop album. I'm like, what? I had no idea. And then they were explaining, you know, they had just had a little bit longer, which had sold like 500,000 copies.

And yes, Lines, Vines and Trying Times went number one, but it sold 200,000 copies. And, you know, the label never put out a second single. And that was the last album they did together for the like for the next 10 years. Wow. single and that was the last album they did together for the like for the next 10 years wow and they were like you know we really experimented a lot on this album with like country with orchestra with r&b and then I did remember there's this like moronic song on the album with common let me go look it's called something don't do a crime, a crime. And everyone like before the show was talking, like, do you think they're going to sing the Common Song? Don't charge me for the crime.

And the Jonas Brothers, they go in order. And when it came up to that Common Song, they started to play it. And then they're like, no, we're kidding. We're not playing that song. It's, it's really, it's horrible. Oh my God, I have to listen to it now. And then when I was like sitting through the album,

like I'm like, yeah, I guess it is this kind of like mixed bag of different genres. And like, it is a little all over the place, but it's not bad by any means. Like there really are a few, you know, they're iconic bangers. And my favorite Jonas Brothers song is on this album, which I guess makes it like, if you go by that standard,

like maybe it's my favorite album because I need this one song and that's Fly With Me. What is it? Fly With Me. Yeah, oh my God. Fly With Me is the bop of the century. So like how could it be a flop album

with their best song on it? And they did Before the Storm on that album too. Before the Storm. And also Much Better is iconic because it's like a slam song, whatever those are called. And World War III. No, you can't have a World War III.

So good. I like, honestly, I don't agree that it's like their flop album, but like they believe it, the fans believe it, but they were like all along for the ride. And I guess I really didn't like put into perspective that it was the last thing they did for 10 years. And it was the thing that like really tore them apart.

And it is kind of all over the place. Like they had a fiddler come for one of the songs where they were clearly experimenting with country. They had like an orchestra of strings come in for when they were clearly experimenting with strings. So it is all over the place, but I enjoyed it. I think the best album that I would probably, the concert I would wanna go to

is the Jonas Brothers album. Cause there's SOS, Hold On, Goodnight and Goodbye, That's Just the Way We Roll, Hello Beautiful, When You Look Me in the Eyes, Just Friends. I think I would still want to go to A Little Bit Longer. A Little Bit Longer has Just Burning Up, Love Bug. A Little Bit Longer. A Little Bit Longer and I'll be right. Burning up love bug. A little bit longer. A little bit longer.

And I'll. Wait. So. The reason why I brought it up is because, you know, I'm constantly, one thing about me, I'm constantly studying the dynamics of the Jonas Brothers. Like, I find it interesting, especially given the fact that they actually broke up for 10 years because of said dynamics. And, you know, in the beginning, and they had referenced this, and they do every time they talk about the split how like Kevin was really towards the end like feeling uninspired and Nick and Joe like were like starting to leave him out and doing performances without him and he just said like he was feeling left out and he wasn't you know feeling it and he was not practicing the guitar

and yeah he's like he said I was playing the notes but I wasn't reading between the lines. Damn poetic. And I just want to say last night Kevin was reading between the lines like he was giving everything. He was giving vocals. He was giving dancing like to me it's always like oh who's the star Nick or Joe? Kevin was the star. Kevin's the glue because those two and their egos are so inflated they're gonna fly away but Kevin is the one that tethers them to the ground and so Margo and I were seated right behind Kevin's daughters oh my god Jackie you never saw something so cute they were gripped like literally white knuckling the bar in front of them staring at their dad like dying for his attention waving and he knew

where they were and it was a really small theater So he waved to them like a thousand times. And it wasn't enough. Like every time they got a wave, they needed another wave. It was so cute. And they all had little iPhones. They were like zooming in on their dad. And they brought friends. Like it just made me think like how cool to have.

And you know, rock stars are rock stars. But I feel like Kevin Jonas is really normal. He's like a family guy. I saw a comment that said like Kevin Jonas was put on this earth to be a dad and a part-time rock star. And it's so true. And I just thought like how cool to be like a family guy I saw a comment that said like Kevin Jonas was put on this earth to be a dad and a part-time rock star and it's so true and I just thought like how cool to be like a girl and you know all young girls like idolize their dads but your dad actually is an idol it was so me and Margo we were watching the kids more than we were watching the show it was so cute that is so cute it was adorable it was a great it's actually a really good concept for like promo for your album.

We were going to go tonight, which is Happiness Begins, but we've seen Happiness Begins at MSG. So I thought, when am I ever going to be able to hear Lines, Vines, and Drying Times? No, it was a moment in time. That's for sure. It was a moment in time. And I guess maybe I look like I see the album, you know, in perspective as being so iconic simply because of the title.

Oh yeah. It rhymes. The title is Lines, Vines every lines lines and trying times like it was everything yeah but it wasn't no I can understand how they got carried away with themselves like they were at their peak I'm sure the record label was like oh my god we just broke records do another one do a flip and they're like okay let's do let's try this yeah and itped. But not to me. No, no. Me neither. I didn't even know, I didn't know like the undercurrent of drama until I got there. And everyone's like, lines, lines, and trying times.

I'm like, yeah, lines, lines, and trying times. That's funny. Such a good title. So it was a great night out with the snitch, which is always. Tell me about her. It was great. You know, she works so hard. I feel like when I see her on weekdays She is like Like kind of

Toxic chaotic energy Yeah like toxic Workplace Unwinding Yeah And yesterday You know she worked so hard And she also

Has been Kind of taken My co-pilot seat In this Nashville Taylor Swift She's got this spreadsheet Going She started the group chat

She has another job now She's finding accommodations Like she actually Once I got the suite Which like I take full credit for counselor really took the reins and i think she was like mad at me yesterday because she heard on the toast like i didn't credit her with like doing much but i said i'm like you didn't do anything at the time that i recorded i said when i record tomorrow i will give you proper credit which is exactly what i'm doing who the fuck said that i know i was a little my antennas went up i'm like you're listening to the

tone no she didn't. So someone literally went out of their way to tell her Claudia took credit for the box. People are always taking shit we say about Margot out of context and like gaslighting her in her DMs. And then she doesn't even listen. She just takes what that person says and gases us up for it. I know. But it's great because then like she yells at us and it's like, you need to listen to

the episode. And if you didn't listen to the episode, then you can't yell at us. And either it means like she'll listen to our episode, which is so cool for us, or she has to drop it. Well, she's yelling at us, which means she's talking to us, which is cool. Right, it's a form of communication, yelling.

100%, 100%. So it was a great night out with the snitch, a GNO, great night out. Great night out. Yeah. So that's what I did. What did you do? I saw you were like out and about I was out and about I was at my friend Erica's birthday party it was a little karaoke sushi party and

it was so fun I hadn't like gone out like I've gone out to dinner a little bit but I haven't gone out to like a party in forever so I was partying two things about your party one our sister Olivia is such a queen because like I just know her so well. And one thing I know about Olivia is she actually does not like to wear colored lipstick. Like she's very, again, even though she has the biggest, most perfect lips. She doesn't wear lipstick, period. She will wear a clear gloss, maybe like a little tint of pink, but she does not like. Not even a little.

Like I try and get her to put on my lipsticks all the time. And it's so unfair because if you ever study Olivia's face, you will see the perfect pair of lips. Like, it's actually, she's undeserving. So you guys were taking a bunch of pictures at this birthday party you were at last night, and Olivia had, like, this kind of Merlot-looking tint to her lips. And I'm like, I know that bitch is drinking red wine because she never wears lipstick. Yep.

And you know what? She looked gorgeous. Gotta get her a merlot lip stain she should start a line of like wine stained lip stains yeah because she clearly likes that I thought the same thing when I was looking through my pictures I was like Olivia's got a nice lipstick on it was nice the second thing speaking of you went to a sushi party I didn't even tell you this but you know I'm doing my series on social media where I try new foods I've never tried before because you guys know I'm the pickiest eater and I forgot that I recorded this

because I had like been like drunk at dinner and I just recorded it and I literally forgot about it until two days ago I was scrolling through my camera roll I tried um spicy tuna sushi so I heard the uh I was driving Olivia and she like I guess her phone was malfunctioning and it kept restarting your video I'm like however you open your video it was the first five seconds over and over and over again. I like got the point that you were trying sushi, but I was driving so I couldn't watch at all. And I have no idea what happens in the video now.

Okay. So let me tell you how I tried spicy tuna roll. Let me say I went to a place called Sake no Hana and the spicy tuna roll that was like on the sushi platter did not have seaweed in it. It was just rice. Oh, it doesn't? No, it's usually crispy rice, spicy avocado maybe a little sauce and a jalapeno that you could take it or leave it no I'm sorry I'm not talking about crispy rice I'm talking about spicy tuna roll oh okay yes a

roll would have seaweed yes yeah and I've never I've had spicy tuna crispy rice and I like that because it's literally like fried food but I've never had like a proper sushi roll. Okay. So it was rice? It was rice around tuna with like a layer, like a little filet of avocado on top. I don't know how they held it together without the seaweed. Was there like rice paper or something? No.

Okay. And so that's why I was like a little bit more open to trying it because I do not fuck with seaweed like I don't like the smell it makes me like it's so fishy um and I tried it and let me tell you how good it was so good it was I was shocked I ate the whole thing it was delicious but now how do I go to a sushi restaurant and order a spicy tuna roll with no seaweed just try that see See what happens. Okay. It might be like falling apart a little bit,

but you don't care about what it looks like, just what it tastes like. No. Maybe it had like rice paper. I don't know. It had something. Yeah. Try it with rice paper instead of seaweed. It was so good.

And like then I dipped it in soy sauce and I was living for it. Or you could even get it cucumber lined. No, I need rice. Cucumber and rice, wouldn't you, Lou? I don't need to add like a vegetable into the mix, you know? You love a cucumber. You are a cucumber. Okay, I don't love cucumber. Like I definitely will

eat cucumber. Like I tolerate cucumber. You're obsessed beyond. I'm obsessed? No, like if somebody's like, do you eat vegetables? I'm like, yeah, I'll eat a cucumber. Yeah. And you like how I make you a bowl of cucumbers with a little salt. I do. I like a really dry cucumber. Like I think people like need to start like drying their cucumbers and then like a little

pinch of salt. I think that's delicious. I saw recently that you're not supposed to keep cucumbers in the fridge. Really? We need a master list of where fruits and veggies are supposed to go because I keep stuff in the fridge that apparently I'm not supposed to and I keep stuff in my fruit bowl that apparently supposed to go in the fridge like lemons yeah that makes sense avocado I saw this guy putting in the fridge do you put onions in your fridge no you're not supposed to yeah okay I just learned that Ben

is like always leaving them out I'm like put them in the fridge he's like no they don't go they don't go in the fridge but they're ugly and they're smelly. So I wish I could tuck them away. And then, so then I've been starting like a drawer of ugly counter items, such as onions, potatoes, garlic. And now I have a smelly drawer. No, and it's like, okay,

sometimes you only need half an onion. So what do you do with the other half? You leave it on the counter? No, you put it in tinfoil and you put it in the fridge until it rots and then you could throw it away. Oh, okay, good. That's what I've been doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's the right thing to do. Aye, aye, captain. Good to know I'm doing something right. Because you're never going to actually use it. You're just, unless magically the next day you need an onion, but you don't. No, you never do. Never do. And if you bought a bag of onions like I did, I'm never going to get through the bag.

So I might as well use a fresh onion instead of this old one from the fridge. I'm never going to reach for like the thing that's half open. Oh, and I'm never going to remember that that's what that ball of tinfoil in my fridge is. A hundred percent. And I'm never going to even open it to find out what it is because it's scary to open an unidentifiedidentified tinfoil bowl and you're pregnant you can't just be like opening things like the smell you have to take care of your body you have to protect yourself 100 um so yeah i tried sushi and i couldn't believe that i actually like i didn't

even just tolerate it like i actually liked it that's so amazing i'm so glad you can add it to the repertoire i know I think like maybe next time like I will order like a spicy tuna roll yeah when you like order sushi get spicy tuna no seaweed and then also order what you would usually order just in case of course as a backup yeah yeah you need backup of course of course of course um so it's just like brief update from Jackson Claude as we head into the weekend maybe I'll have sushi this weekend maybe Jax will go to another party who knows who knows I don't know what I'm up to this weekend now that I'm like easy driving gonna take it easy for sure but it's also fun to like do weekend tings and now that I'm a driver like I need to keep up this momentum of driving every day because

it's making a huge difference like by the time you get down here turdy lou you me and tesla are gonna take the town you're gonna be able to pick me up from the airport that's a little extreme unless i can get there without going on the highway you definitely cannot no i definitely can it will take me two hours oh yay i mean yeah you could yeah yeah um wait also oh one thing that's like annoying about this weekend is ben's out of town he's on a golf trip and like I like have to sleep alone I was up all night like literally every time I heard something like it woke me up and I was just having the worst night's sleep ever like I hate sleeping alone okay but would you rather sleep alone because Ben's not there or have been there and find a can of moldy beans have been there and find a can of moldy beans wow yeah like

nights up like being awake at night and scared and alone which happens to me every time Ben's out of town is one of my least favorite life experiences as a human being yeah no I understand that completely and I don't know how you would ever do it in a house oh my god yeah why don't you invite like someone to sleep over what about the snitch what if you said snitch like why don't you staycation at my place this weekend? The dogs could be together. She would literally never. Margo loves her apartment. Like, I respect that.

I do. But she would never. What if you pack up your things and go to the snitches? She's a queen size bed, honestly. Like, I don't think it's enough for the two of us and the dogs. And the dogs.

Why don't you just ask her and invite her? Like, see what she says. Let me send her a text. Like, I'll read her response on there. She's going to think you're like joking. But try and say it in a way that she knows you're serious. Ben's out of town this weekend, comma.

Do you want to pack up your stuff and bring Magnolia and spend the weekend, question mark? Write slumber party, exclamation point. Like a slumber party? She's going to roast me. It's such a cute idea. She's going to be like, no. I have this and this and I just can't I have no time

no 100% she's like you're saying are you serious you know I have this and this this weekend let's see what she says delivered this is like a form of self-harm 100% like putting yourself in the most vulnerable position and like knowing the results but doing it anyway. You're about to get like pummeled. Beyond. I'm like actually afraid. But like wouldn't that be fun for you? Yeah of course. Check in on me in like 10 minutes because I always forget the last time I I was like let me text Olivia. You guys remember that like two weeks ago and then I forgot and I and I just want to say. So the thing was I was telling you that Olivia uses all lowercase in her phone. It's like set to auto lowercase.

At least it used to be all of her contacts are lowercase, whatever. So Claudia didn't believe me. So I was like, text her and ask for an old friend's number. And I'm telling you, it will come through. The contact will come through with lowercase. So and it did. And it did. Lower M, lower K.

Our sisters should know if we're ever texting them between the hours of 1030 and 12. Like they're being set up. It's them between the hours of 1030 and 12. They're being set up. It's happening on the podcast. It's a trap. If it feels like a trap, you're already in one. It's not. This isn't a trap for Margot.

We hope she says yes. No, it's definitely a trap. It's literally entrapment. We know the results and we're doing it anyway. But we're really hoping that she, yeah, we're hoping she doesn't fall for it, but we, it's literally entrapment. Like we know the results and we're doing it anyway, but we're really hoping that she, yeah, we're hoping she doesn't fall for it, but we know she will. Entrapment.

Right. Also speaking of Taylor Swift lyrics to tonight is opening night of the eras in Glendale. I'm like, I have like, I actually have regrets for not going. Cause it's the one show that Paramore is opening for. And I know Ben would have fucking love that.

Who's opening in Nashville? Grace. It depends. It's different. every literally every single night in Nashville um the one that we're going to I believe is Gracie Abrams but the night before is Phoebe Bridgers and that's why Margot wanted to do Friday night but everybody else said Saturday night she likes Phoebe Bridgers I don't know I don't Margot's like just like on the pulse of like What's cool you know like always I know Phoebe Bridgers Is cool but I also know Snitch's music taste No Snitch loves that song Funeral

We wouldn't even make it in time for the opener knowing us No of course not we gotta go to dinner We gotta have drinks That's a lot of Ubers to call So not only is it opening night tonight, wishing everyone the best, but Taylor also surprised us yesterday by releasing four songs. Three of them are not new, unless you're like a new Taylor Swift fan. You probably haven't heard them, but there is one new song.

Are they on other albums or they're like from the Target edition? No, they're, oh, that's a really good question. No, they're not on the Target edition. They're from other albums. Actually, like, where are they from? Well, okay, so Safe and Sound was a song she wrote for the Hunger Games. I know it. I believe Eyes Open is also for the Hunger Games.

Love. And then If This Was a Movie, she released as a vault track for Fearless. But I thought it was on Speak Now. And does it go, if we were movie no it goes come back come back do you know that one keep going it sounds familiar come back come back come back to me what do you think the next word is come back come back come back to me now oh okay so she literally I my whole life I thought it was come back come back come back to me eli you would you would if this was a movie and i guess that was like taylor's era of like kind of slurring

her words and singing in cursive i'm not the only person who thought it was eli but when she re-recorded it she's a little bit more um pronunciative and i am now realizing it's come back come back come back to me like you would you would if this was a move um the whole time I thought she was singing to some guy Eli I'm like how lucky for him yeah just like no even hey right that was her era drew yeah of calling people out right and like nobody nobody's but then they became somebody's. And she was like no. Oh speaking of. Taylor calling people out. You know.

One of the songs. On lines. Finds in trying times. Much better. Is a song. Joe wrote about Taylor. After she had written. Better than revenge.

And it's like. Actually a really mean song. And it's very clearly about Taylor. He references like. The teardrops on my guitar. He references a superstar. And he did give a little speech. Before.

Because it's like. You know. Like a song like that might not fly Same with Better Than Revenge Better Than Revenge is not age well It's very mean It's very mean And it's like

It's pitting women You know it's taking Blaming women for men's discretion Yeah yeah So his song doesn't age well And neither does hers But he made like a little speech And like everybody knew

What song was coming up next Because they were going In chronological order And he was just like you know we've all moved past it uh we're all grown up he was like giggling and everyone was giggling and it was clear like there's no bad blood you know I love everyone and so if I felt okay singing along because it is kind of like a bop yeah for sure I'm sure everyone's really happy about it except for Camilla Bell who really just never bounced back from all of this you are so fucking right i'm sure everyone's having a nice big laugh about it and we can now perform it and like you know take the sting out of it but it still stings for her was camilla bell in monte carlo no oh just everyone in it looks like her okay margo

answered and you know what she obviously said, but it was kind of sweet. Oh. I love you dearly, and that is so cute of you, but I enjoy my bed and my home too much. I literally knew she was going to say that. Do I know the snitch? You do. It still hurts.

Why don't you come here for the weekend? I have two events on Saturday night. Events, events. You want to go to events? Events, events. I want to go to events events events I want to go to events invite me to your events what are the events uh Remy's birthday party and then another friend's birthday party oh cool just like birthday central cool yeah sorry okay it might

have been a good time for me to come if I wasn't literally coming like in a week and a half yeah no I mean I feel like I gave you like a lot of really good options I'm out of options unless like one of your friends listening to this episode like happens to also be solo this weekend wants to sleep at turdies it's a slumber party at turdies everyone's welcome or if someone wants to like invite you to stay with them and they have like you know a situation that would be turdy friendly yeah like a gorgeous guest room on the beach.

So. I feel like it's time. Yeah, we like low-key dilly-dallied for 30 minutes, even though we had like nothing of value to say.

You don't have to get up and do all the awkward things that are like required with traditional therapy, like waiting in a waiting room with other people, making eye contact can be so hard. And then if you don't end up liking your therapist, it can be kind of discouraging to go and find another one. But BetterHelp makes it really easy to switch therapists if you're not

jiving with the first or second one, which is totally normal. So if you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely done online. It's designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. Just fill out a brief questionnaire and you'll get matched with a licensed therapist and you can switch therapists anytime for no additional charge. Discover your potential with BetterHelp.

Our first story, The View hosts are being slammed for not asking Hugh Grant about his rude Ashley Graham interview. So Hugh Grant went on The View this week to promote his new film Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among Thieves and all of the co-hosts noticeably avoided

the elephant in the room. Instead the ladies discussed the star's reunion with his former co-star Annie McDowell on the Oscars stage where they presented together for the best production design. So he went there did a fluff interview. He's obviously headline news this week because of his viral moment with Ashley Graham. And, you know, these journalists didn't ask about it. And the tweeters were very disappointed. I get a fluff interview. I respect it. But the view is not, you know, historically a place where you can even do a fluff interview that's what they're known for you know hard-hitting angle you know opinions from all sides of the political spectrum yada yada like they're known to be like or at least maybe not recently but you know

historically it's dead if you're going on you you're going into the lion's den and we're gonna mention it all right so I think this is a like very losery of the view. And I'm sure that they were told by Hugh Grant's people, like we're not talking about this Ashley Graham thing, but the view in this particular scenario has the power. The view is the bigger show. They don't, they don't need the view.

The view doesn't need Hugh Grant. Yeah. Like they could get anyone on the show. I think this is so losery and like so lame. And I think it really lowers a lot of the respect I think people have for the view and just like their journalistic integrity. Could it get lower, Turdy Lou, do you think? No, I know.

I mean, I don't think the view is at one point. I used to like really respect the view and I thought it was like a great idea but I just think like over the last few years it's kind of become a mess and I feel like literally every time I see something about the view it's somebody apologizing for saying something like incredibly offensive yeah um so I I don't respect it in the way that I used to and so hearing something like this is like actually not shocking but I think like the not the current state of the view but like the view franchise view view of you is better than this the view is better than this never Barbara Walters would never no Sherri Shepherd would never Elizabeth Hasselbeck never

and like when you break it down it's not like what happened between them is so unspeakable you know like right even if the publicist said we don't want to talk about it, like you still could talk about it. And Hugh Grant could just say what was going through his mind. Like, honestly, it's really not that taboo. No, it's not something you have to like actively avoid. It's not the biggest scandal of the century, but it's so on the cusp of what everyone is talking about right now. If this interview was, this is literally the week after the Oscars. about right now if this interview was this is literally the week after the Oscars if it was next week okay maybe a little bit more I could understand but it's so of the moment right now the view would have been better off just not having him as a guest yeah because now they just look weak they look weak and losery and they're just like a bunch of Hollywood celebs protecting

other Hollywood celebs and you know there are enough like podcasts and interviewees who do that, that we don't need that. Like that's what we're tuning into the view for. It used to be this like spit fire. You couldn't believe some of the shit you were hearing. Like that's what it used to be. Yeah. No,

but I do want to hear about Dungeons and Dragons. Right. Honor among thieves. No, like that's the game you play when you have something to promote. Like you go and talk about the thing you are wanting to talk about but then you also have to talk about shit you don't want to talk about you have to give an interesting engaging interview it's not really just like fluff unless you're going you know on I don't even know I don't want to offend anyone but

no I know but like unless you're going on the view because that's the reputation they're going to have now yeah yeah unless you're going on the view it's weird it's like oh I want to go to a fluff interview let me book the view and no one used to ever say that no I mean I wrote about this in my book you know when we were canceled I this was 2018 we got an email from the view they were like do you guys want to come on and like you know talk about it did I. Did I want to talk about it? Period. No. Did I want to talk about it on the fucking view? Like lion's den? Absolutely not. Now, if I got that email and shit was happening in 2020,

maybe I would. I think I could go for a fluff interview on the view. They might want to talk about your, my commitment to, you know, Holocaust education. Yeah. No, they probably wouldn't. Whoopi wouldn't want to talk about that that doesn't know what he's been saying like a lot of crazy shit she keeps saying the same

thing pretty much and then like apologizing but then like saying that you know the same thesis again oh also like total tangent but speaking of whoopi goldberg um when we were having conversation last week about sequels that are just as good if not better than the original sister act because the sequel is where with lauren hill yeah it's actually this that's when she like becomes a teacher and all the kids like travel in the sequel and it's actually it's better than the first damn i think i actually saw sister act two before I even saw Sister Act 1. And then I went back and watched it. Interesting. He taught me how. Oh, he taught me how.

Like Sister Act 2 had my Jewish ass at like the age of 11 singing, you know, about Jesus washing my sins away. And he did. He washed my sins away. Oh, happy day. Oh, happy day. Oh, happy day. Repeat after me, Jax. Ready? La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Because we can't really fuck up and sing like off. Noted.

And that one from Passover. Yes. Ha-le-ha-ha-yum. Yeah. If you know, you know. That's the bop. If you know, you know. Like that Passover kind of like prayer.

I don't want to like say it and like, I don't know why I feel like it's like desecrating. Yeah, yeah. The part that I just did like doesn't have like the Lord's name. So we're fine. But if you know, you know, you know, you know, it's literally bopsies. And I don't know who put that melody to that song, but like Grammy, Grammy. And you should see the Oshley family satyrs when that part comes up. And we all know at this point, like turd is taking the lead on that.

And we're just her loyal followers but you guys really bring it like in terms of background energy thanks you're welcome okay ready for our next story just clearing up some rumors for the from this week because zendaya's stylist law roach is breaking his silence just to defend his relationship with Zendaya. So as we announced, he said he was retiring this week. We speculated to the ends of the earth as to what could have happened, even including like, you know, some sort of break us with Zendaya. But he is clearing that up saying, quote, So y'all really think I'm breaking up with Z? We are forever. She's my little sister and it's real love not the fake industry love so I just think

it was a confusing week because this this news was you know Sunday night we were all gagged cooped and gagged and then throughout the week like he's walking in the Hugo Boss fashion show and doing things that you know a retired fashion stylist doesn't do so he did then clarify that he is retiring from the celebrity styling element of his work, but his work includes other things besides that. He could still model. He could still be a judge on fashion shows. He could still design or other things that he is doing,

even though his main beat is the celebrity styling. Do you think he'll still style Zendaya though? I don't know. It's all just so unclear. So unclear. But just wanted to clear that up because that would be really sad. I also feel like Zendaya thus far in her career

has really managed to avoid any sort of like drama. Like I can't think of anything, even though I think a lot of people speculate is there weirdness between her and Bella Thorne there's actually not like she's really avoided any sort of confrontation or like internet drama or scandal and I'm curious what her thoughts are on this yeah because I feel like she doesn't do that no but she must know what happened yeah to make him feel this way so I'm sure she just supports him. Like, do what you have to do. Like, everyone needs to just do what is best for them.

You know, you can't work in a space where you don't feel valued and you just feel like, especially when you're at the top of your game. No, no. Is that how you feel about the toast? You're at the top of your game and you don't feel valued? No, did I say that? No, it just sounded like you were speaking on experience,

honestly, like. No, no, no. I'm just like speaking as to how that might feel. Okay. I was just, I'm just checking in always, you know? No, no. I feel, I feel valued. Okay, good.

I'm there. You feel supported like as a mother and a woman? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Okay. Yeah. Okay, good. Just so important to constantly be checking in.

But it is like so crazy. And we were talking about this. Like there's no reference point really that we have for like someone who does a daily show a female who does a daily show whether it be like podcast or tv and they're like there's no like backup hosts and we're and i'm trying to have babies yeah no it's hard and over the next like five ten years when we're both having babies it's gonna be a hodgepodge of maternity leave drama right but like we'll still be here we'll be doing as many shows as we can but we don't even have something to reference as like because I was saying they do yeah what did they do like I was saying like what if Joe Rogan was a woman and he was having kids

right and even Joe Rogan doesn't do every single day he does like I think three right and he also can bank episodes because they're just conversations right and so that's what does a topical show there are a lot of people like on um networks and stuff who do that but but you have a whole network behind you they find replacements gma has a million hosts if someone's out for maternity like you don't even notice because there's so many people like who's someone that's at the helm of a daily show who's like needs to take maternity leave sometimes i don't know and i think like even the closest reference are like weekly podcasters who again are not topical and can bank episodes. So I don't know.

Right. But even like a female weekly podcaster who's in whose tops of the charts and has done maternity leave in their podcast. I feel like Lauren Bostic. Yeah, but they bank. They bank. That's what I'm saying like when you do interviews or things that aren't like news topical it's easy to bank yeah yeah that's a lot of easy but it's a lot of banking but then you can bank just as much as time you want off you

could literally right for a year right yeah so so I still feel supported we're figuring it out together but there's nothing to. Reference. Reference. We love principles that are set. We do. We love a precedent. We love a precedent. There's no precedent here.

Zero. Drop a comment if you know of a precedent. Yeah. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? A little more clarification today. It's just a clarifying Friday. I love when things become

clear you know because Ben Affleck is on the cover of Hollywood Reporter's new feature issue he's talking about a lot of tings um the thing we'll be focusing on is he's revealing the moment he appeared miserable at the Grammys he's revealing what happened between him and his wife so he denies having a bad time at the 2023 Grammys and claims his viral unenthused face was due to the host Trevor Noah catching him off guard for a skit he said I saw Trevor approach and I was like oh god they were framing us in the shot but I didn't know they were rolling just before the skit began cameras captured Ben having a conversation with his wife J J-Lo. He said she had been, the star, I'm sorry. Ben said he had been joking with his wife,

telling her as soon as they start rolling, I'm going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor. So then she goes, you better not fucking leave. That's a husband and wife thing. I mean, some of it is. I'm like, all right, who is this act? So in the clip, you see act so in the clip you see him

whisper something and then you see him move to the side he doesn't know that they're filming he doesn't know that he's in frame and then you see her saying you better not fucking leave which is exactly what a wife would say and not in any sort of like acrimonious way you know what JLo sounds like an aggy bitch wife love it she sounds like an aggy bitch wife and we respect and we love and you know i didn't really need an expletive like this is so weird to me like it just happened to be caught on camera so it became a moment but like people's like personal i don't know like i don't need an explanation on this the fact that he has to come on here and explain what five seconds taken out of context of him and his wife when they were really, they thought they weren't being recorded.

They weren't purposely putting this content out. Like this feels so invasive to me. Like they don't owe us anything. No, they don't owe us an explanation. I think even when it happened, like our takeaway was not that, you know, this is a miserable couple who can't stand to be each other. Like it's just like this is five seconds in a lifetime of moments and like sometimes you just look a little miserable sitting next to each other but I think people need to look inward on their own lives and think about how many times a day they look miserable next to

their partner because that's life but I'm just glad that he cleared this up one because it's a very simple explanation and because clearly this is the truth he's not Ben Affleck isn't going to make something up and certainly not going to answer a question he doesn't want to answer right but I feel like this is a great moment that we'll always be able to point to as like you don't you might see something and it looks like something but it's not that something and don't just jump to the worst conclusions like this to me makes complete sense and I will use it as a reference going forward to be like hey you don't know what was said just give it a second no and by the way like

also just keep in mind like the context it's such a long day they've been getting ready for hours they're standing their backs hurts probably wearing spanks he's uncomfortable in his thing like just you get it's a part of the human experience it's just getting irritated and more often than not you take it out on your partner so like I don't know I'm not this doesn't make me think they're headed for splitsville no and I don't even think he was irritated he just like didn't want to be a part of the bit and didn't realize him saying I don't want to I'm not. This doesn't make me think they're headed for Splitsville. No. And I don't even think he was irritated. He just like didn't want to be a part of the bit and didn't realize him saying I don't want to be a part of the bit was part of the bit. Yeah.

He didn't know that it had started. Plus, it was a really wide lens. Wider than most. A hundred percent. You know, they had that fisheye lens on because at other award shows, you don't get so many background characters. No. And when you know you're on camera,

you're so like charismatic and it takes so much energy so that once you stop rolling, you automatically go to misery just so that you can conserve your energy for when you have to be like, again. Right.

Also, he said like to him, this is his wife's work event that he thought would be like fun to go to. He said, I've been to some movie award shows. It's like speeches and sound mixing webinars, but I thought this would be fun and now you have to put yourself in a situation of going to your spouse's work event and like is it happy go lucky every minute of the event no facts jacks of the facts part two and if they're about to do like a worky thing you know you don't want to be a part of it I live that would be me a hundred

percent and it would also be me to say you're not fucking going anywhere oh my god that would be putting it kindly I'd be like sit your nasty ass down you fucking bitch no I'm kidding I would never say that so honestly this whole saga actually I think I have a lot of faith in this couple they're just a real couple they're just like us truly I agree and you know I've been like have a lot of faith in this couple. They're just a real couple. They're just like us, truly. I agree. And you know, I've been like seeing a lot of like paparazzi footage of J-Lo spending a lot of time with Ben and Jen Gardner's kids. And she's like a really involved step-mom

and you know, vice versa. I think it's really nice. Like, I think that these women have done a really good job of like being really mature and like putting the kids forward. They're both like really good step-moms and and I think it's nice so would you say they're blended I would say they're blended yes I think they're blending nicely from what I've seen that's all you could hope for yeah and it's tough you know Jen Garner is a bigger woman than I'd ever

be I know but she's remarried right and she's a toaster so she's so happy she's joy in her life since she's a toaster like yeah we found out this week that Jen Garner is a toaster. Now, I'm not delusional enough to think she's like sitting down putting on the toast every day. I believe a lot of probably like the young, cool, fabulous girls who work for her are toasters. And like are, you know, keeping her in the loop. Like, oh, Jackie loves Once Upon a Farm. And that's Jen Garner's company. But Jen Garner did share, you know, a clip of us on her, of you actually on her stories.

And used a bunch of toasty lingo. And literally, but she said I'm a toaster no she didn't say she's a toaster she wrote like you know we got to get a cooler of once upon a farm on at the toast studio she did say that but let me she didn't say the words I am a toaster I really thought she did because Because otherwise, I'm like. Hold on, I can find it because I reposted it. Yeah, me too, me too. Oh, okay. I don't think she, I mean, I'll die.

But that would be so like me to like not read the whole thing. Oh. Oh my God, did you hear that outside? It's the St. Patrick's Day parade. I could not get to work today. Okay, it's not on the story. But it might be in the comment on the video. Because like, I wouldn't make that up. I'm not like to work today. It's not on the story, but it might be in the comment on the video.

Because, like, I wouldn't make that up. I'm not, like, delusional. No, you wouldn't make that up. But it might be, like, a Mandela effect. Yes, she commented, yes, three hearts, I'm a toaster. No fucking way. I'm texting this to you. No, I'm looking it up right now. There's so many comments, though.

Like, she literally. Wait, I don't even see it. Did you text it to me? Jackie, yes, I'm a toaster. No fucking way. All right. So Jen Garner, you're a toaster. Prove it.

Come on the show. Prove it, Jen. But she literally like said it can't it just be enough for someone to say it it's no i'm i don't believe i'm you know what i'm so riddled with like and crippled by self-doubt i won't believe it till she comes on and looks me in the eyes and tells me i know no you still wouldn't believe it 100 i'd be like you're lying who said who said it's like that story of like the man and god and he's like drowning and he's waiting to be saved oh my god that is so weird that you just referenced that why because i always think about that like just that whole thing

and then in this book that i'm reading it was referenced oh wow because like you could get all these signs but you're still waiting for the big sign and then god's like i literally sent you all these signs right right and that's i was looking at my time hop and a year ago we had this whole thing with Kylie being a toaster and it's crazy because I had all the screenshots on my phone I'm like we literally said post a picture of your nails and post a picture of a tree and she did and she did and then we kept waiting for more confirmations but it's like you're so right she sent you a boat he sent you a helicopter she is speaking facts you're so right Jen is a toaster period period she said what she no question mark she said not she's not jen is a toaster no jen is a toaster period so back to our

original point she obviously has joy in her life she has a full happy life she has wonderful business she has wonderful family she listens to a wonderful podcast i think jen is just fine i mean i don't know how you could not be fine when like you are responsible for Jenna Rink. Like, I don't know how you could create that piece of art and not be like the happiest, most joy. And of course, life is hard for everyone. You never know what's going on behind closed doors.

But I think at its core, you can't be Jenna Rink. You don't have that in you if you're not a deeply positive person. It's true. And to like have accomplished that artistry is a very fulfilling feeling. Must be like when Michelangelo did the Sistine Chapel. He was like feeling fulfilled and proud of himself. And you know what? This talk is making me feel like I want to do.

You know what I'm going to do tonight? I'm going to a party in a limo. You should go to your events this weekend in a limo in honor of Jenna Rink. Oh, 100%. Actually, what's your weirdest thing? And just like make them drive through Times Square, even though that's not where you're going. Okay, wait. You want to hear the weirdest thing?

At the Jonas Brothers concert last night, they had these three girls come on stage and like read a passage from their book or whatever and just like set the stage of like where they were at at the time in their lives when Lines, Vines, and Trying Times was coming out. And one of the girls was wearing the Jenna Rink dress. It's gone viral. No, I know. It's just like it was kind of weird so cute why is that weird it's such a cute dress it was just like i don't know i just thought it was weird it's like wearing it's just like a iconic dress known for one thing so to wear it as like on stage as a jonas brother like cast member i don't know i just thought it was weird. I like it. Does nobody else think that's weird? Because I like it. I like it.

Excuse me. So I started the farmer's dog a few months ago because Theo had been like fluctuating with his weight and his coat was getting kind of dull.

And I just felt like what I was feeding him was not cutting it anymore. And I really am glad that I did because I've noticed such a big difference in Theo's weight. He's been like way more consistent with his weight. His coat is really shiny. And it's so easy. It comes pre-portions. They come in ready to serve packs. They're convenient, conveniently delivered on my schedule. So dog people all across the country

have ordered millions of meals from the farmer's dog. It's never been easier to invest in your dog's health with fresh food.

Our next story, Mr. Beast is stirring backlash after asking fans to fix Walmart displays

for his Feastables chocolate bars. So Jimmy Donaldson, the stunt YouTuber, better known as Mr. Beast, tweeted an unconventional request to followers on Friday, sparking backlash and inspiring memes. So he posted photos of, he has a chocolate bar and snack and candy line called Feastables. He posted photos of those tings on the shelf at Walmart and some of the displays are focaccia and he said I need your help next time you see Feastables in Walmart and soon to be new retailers if you could clean up the presentation and make it look better that'd make me very happy I'm building a team to do this routinely just need help in the short term so they the Feastables

account also shared that fans who clean the Walmart displays can enter a contest to win $5,000. Participants have to submit before and after shelf fees of the display to be considered for the monthly drawing, according to their website. So some fans are participating and being super respectful and like are helping out their boy. Others appeared more unsettled by the request. Several criticized him for asking fans to work without compensation. Someone said, quote, Or potentially $5,000, but okay, go off. Someone else said, God, if I had $14 million every time a rich person asked poor people to do free labor also

some other memes were spawned one actually really made me laugh it was like a guy tied up i saw that it was a picture of a guy like bound in tape and it said mr beast i caught mr beast i caught this man after his shoulder brushed a Feastables display. After his shoulder brushed a Feastables display. And one of your chocolates fell to the ground. He is pleading for mercy. But I do not believe he is truly sorry. for mercy but i do not believe he is truly sorry how shall i deal with him sir fucking funny hold on my head okay and even though that is oh and then another one is a meme it says when you don't

organize mr beast's chocolate bars and it's a screenshot from his video called, Yeah, I hunted 100 people. Anyways, even though I'm laughing at these memes because they're really funny, I thought what he said was really nice and I have no issue with it. And if the people who want to, if his fans want to help him out, that's really sweet.

Like it is really hard to, you know, like hire enough people to go to every. This is a problem. Like the biggest companies in the world have. Yeah. And so if you are a fan of his and like want to help him out here, I think it's a really nice thing. As far as it being like free labor, like it takes two seconds just to like make something nice.

And you can enter to win $5,000. Like this is so harmless. People like love to come for Mr. Beast. And I feel like he's actually a really easy person to defend because it's not like he's just getting rich off feastables and laughing in his mansion. He's donating like almost so much of the money that he makes Jackie he literally donates all the money he makes like he doesn't he's yes he's like rich but he's not like you know flamboyantly wealthy like he literally gives money back that's the point every money he always says

like every dollar that comes in is meant to go back out and by the way I saw this tweet organically like when he posted it and I didn't think anything of it I'm like oh that's actually pretty smart if you have that sort of like loyal yeah like you have like these boots on the ground uh people who just like want to help and because they like you not because they're like dog waiting for a treat beast beast smile down on me like and he wasn't asking people to drive to every walmart in their state they're like he's like if you're at walmart and you like are buying it or you're passing it like just give it a little refresher honestly i don't think there's anything wrong with this i'm not a beastie queen but i now if i see it like i

would fix it up for him like it's so nice And no one's holding a gun to people's head. And even if this, he was just like an influencer who was had his product line and all the money comes to him. And he wasn't like this charity focused influencer. Like I would still be inclined to defend this ass. Cause I don't think it's that crazy. But the fact that like, knowing he's not just like sitting around getting cheap,

free labor from people, like he's giving back to everyone in every way. Like there's no crime done. Yeah, no, I think a lot of like the funny memes were meant like in good fun, but then people over here being like, this capitalist bullshit free labor, calm down. Like just so don't do it.

No, he's not holding a gun to anyone's head. And he said he's working, it's not like a long-term solution. It's a problem they're having that they're trying to fix. But in the meantime, you know, if you happen to be in Walmart, I really don't think it's a big deal. No, I really don't at all. I think it's honestly a pretty crafty idea, you know,

to how to galvanize your fans. And I have no issue with it, though. The memes have cracked me up. No, they were. They were extremely funny. Yeah. So everyone just calm down, okay? Yeah. Like, I feel like people are always coming extremely funny. Yeah. So everyone just calm down. Okay.

Yeah. Like I feel like people are always coming for Mr. Beast. Like and he's really never done anything. It's like on the one hand, I always am going to be inclined to defend an influencer under attack. Yeah. On the other hand, I'm always going to be inclined to defend Mr. Beast because he's like a charitable influencer. Like he's only ever trying to do good. No. And there was like a big takedown of him

by that, you know, brain dead writer who we know. And I think like his crime was like a couple of years ago, he said the R word and like, let's just be honest with one another. Like who hasn't, you know? No. When we were in high school, I'm just going to say it now.

Like, oh my God, every other word out of my mouth was the R word. Like it was everyone I knew did. So I'm just saying like it now like oh my god every other word out of my mouth was the r word I like it was every everyone I knew did so I'm just saying like that's the worst crime we'll be okay no and it's like you just like to hold someone and judge them based on like the smallest worst thing that they've done in their entire life of good work like right are you blind right no you're not blind because Mr mr beast cured your blindness though he is ableist for doing so turdy low right right he is ableist for doing so um yeah the thing is like i low-key know nothing about mr beast i just like always find myself defending him because

when i see his content um and it's never like i'm actively seeking it out it always he's so viral it just comes across my desk he's literally like thinking of new ways to give ten thousand dollars to like college students but to help them with their with their loans to give them new computers literally he went to london like i think a few weeks ago with like a suitcase full of new iphones and we're just giving them out to people on the street people were like crying like what are we doing why are we actively trying to take this person down i don't know and you know what the more successful Feastables is the more resources what's his name has to buy more iPhones wads of cash more blindness right like you know what I'm here for you know I'm driving to my local Walmart I don't see Mr. Beast stuff anywhere because I'm

not like on YouTube and my category definitely wouldn't be stunt YouTube like every time I see him it's not stunt YouTube they called him a stunt YouTuber because he does like these stunts like going around London and giving out iPhones is a stunt it's a good one but like stunt I guess anyways every the only time I see his work is because he's like getting some sort of backlash and every time I'm confronted with like what he's up to I'm like this is a great guy yeah so it's not I've never seen a piece of content of his that made me dislike him. Yeah, that I was actually like, do better, beast. Right. Do better, beast.

Title. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I'm itching. Itching to know what it is. Which is no laughing matter. And I want to get through the details because the headline, like, makes it seem one way. But there's just a lot to the story anyways a former family feud contestant is now accused of killing his wife and when he was on family feud he joked on the show saying that the biggest mistake was saying I do now listen up a

former family feud contestant who's accused of killing his estranged wife joked on the show that his biggest mistake was marrying her that's not what he he said, but okay. Timothy Blythnick and some of his family members were contestants on the game show and family feud in an episode that aired in 2020. Steve Harvey asked Blythnick, what's your biggest mistake you made at your wedding? And he said, honey, I love you, but quote, said I do as the biggest mistake. But isn't family feud like- You have to think what other people would have said. Right. So he said, not my mistake, not my mistake.

I love my wife. I'm going to get in trouble for that, aren't I? The episode was originally taped in the fall of 2019. According to Fox News, Blythnick was charged on Monday with two counts of first degree murder and home invasion in the death of his 41 year old estranged wife, Rebecca Blythnick, who was found dead in her Quincy, Illinois, home on February 23rd after she didn't pick her kids up from school. The couple was going through a divorce at the time of the slaying.

Okay, so... Wait, hold on. They've been separated for two years. The attorney told people... The attorney said that her client, a sales executive who starred in football at Quincy University in Illinois, maintains his innocence. Someone from the community said, quote,

he's never been arrested for battery, domestic battery, anything violent, anything ever. He was fully employed. There was tremendous pressure from the community for an arrest to be made. And naturally, the estranged spouse is going to be the number one suspect, regardless of other circumstances.

This is the attorney who said this. He was active in the community. He was a youth football coach. He was actively involved in his church here. A lot of people knew him. It's very surprising that this is where the family said this. He was active in the community. He was a youth football coach. He was actively involved in his church here. A lot of people knew him. It's very surprising that this is where the family is at right now. He's your standard all-American Midwestern dad. They said there was evidence of a break-in at the home,

and that's an allegation that police are still looking into based upon evidence that they've sent to the crime lab and other evidence that they've collected along the way. She added that there was a window that was broken, but it's not clear if the window was broken from the outside or the inside um so he's been arrested for the murder of his wife in this article I'm not seeing details that make it clear what evidence supports that it was him aside from the fact that they were estranged and he said this on family feud which obviously doesn't age well no it doesn't honestly age is completely fine i think the headline i

agree is misleading um he wasn't speaking from personal experience he was trying to win the game um so i just think it's crazy that like you know this uh case is going on and these people happen to be on family feud that's what i think is crazy yeah no it's there's a lot of craziness crazy coincidences the fact that that was even the question on his particular episode um so he is accused and has been arrested for her murder but it's ongoing and obviously his attorney is going to say the nicest things about him and try and of course make him seem um innocent innocent but there's nothing else in this article aside from from them having, like, being estranged, that would point to, like, why and how he did it.

Right. Maybe. I guess we'll have to. I'm sure there's evidence, because, like, the police don't just go around arresting people. Right, right. Without evidentiary support and, like, a warrant. Evidentiary support.

But we shall see. So this reminds me of that Judge Judy episode episode with her bailiff you see that clip no it was like if there was an episode of judge judy and the the um the person who was in the court like was being accused of something um with his wife and then he pointed to the bailiff and said that guy doesn't look happily married. And everyone laughed, whatever. And then like a few years later, bailiff accused of killing his wife. You're kidding.

No. Judge Judy's bailiff? I feel like she's had the same one. I don't know. I have to. It was like a video that was going viral. A recap video. A recap video that was going viral.

I don't know the details. I could Google. Judgey bailiff murder judge judy bailiff murder judge i mean it's like a tiktok video so be a famous tv show bailiff accused of killing his wife. Or maybe it wasn't Judge Judy. Maybe it was just another court show. I love Judge Judy. Jewish queen, judicial queen, rich queen. I love that for her.
