Good morning, millennials! Have the man behind Fork of July, a very popular topic here at The Toast, have him come on and, you know, explain himself. So Ben Soffer, welcome to The Toast. Thank you very much. And I want to say I'm committed to giving you the best episode of the week. Best episode. The energy's high. You're such a brown noser with a hidden agenda.

The energy's flowing. I'm here. I'm here to serve you. He is a sneaky brown noser with a hidden agenda, even though it's not so hidden because you're being like kind of a teacher's pet right now. Like you want to be the favorite co-host, but I like it. I like the energy.

Keep it up. No, I mean, I don't need to want to be the favorite co-host. I'm the favorite co-host. Like it is what it is. Is Ben Sopper the favorite co-host? Sound off in the comments. And if not, who is your favorite co-host? You do have some competition.

Who? They love Olivia. Oh, they love Olivia. I'm You do have some competition. Who? They love Olivia. Oh, they love Olivia. I'm sorry. Who doesn't love Olivia? They love Olivia. Fuck. It's fine.

I'll give it to Olivia. Okay, but they love... Well, are we talking about like one-time co-hosts or people who frequent like you? No, by the way, I was going to say like Olivia is really not fair. Like a one-hit wonder. Come on. She's not a one-hit wonder, but she doesn't come on as frequently as you do. People that have done a minimum 15 episodes.'s pretty much like you and taylor strecker

great who i i don't know sign off in the comments ben versus taylor strecker who you taking in a fight yeah i'm so excited that you're here me too you have been a topic of discussion here at the toast because oh i've heard yeah so let's just dive right into it for those who might just be tuning in you have decided you've really really taken a turn in your Instagram content over the last year, and you're really focusing a lot more on your food content, your cooking content. We love it. And you made a sort of pledge this July to put out one video a day in a series you're calling Fork of July. Yes. Now let's talk about the name first and how bad it is yes see it's this type of negativity that makes me question is fork of july good i don't know if you guys saw my rogue instagram

stories last week but i was like should i change the name fork of july should i not let me know and people are like why why would you change why would you change i love it i love it i love it and i said i would change it because my wife and a Miss Shannon Ford said both simultaneously, the name is Weenie. It's not Weenie. It's just confusing. Like the first week of July, it was like, oh, so cute. And then it's July 8th and we're doing Fork of July. Fork of July.

The Fork of July. Just for July. And then in August, if I'm not dead, we'll do something else. So you have taken on this series. Are you regretting, like you made this pledge, you were going to do one video a day. And it's obviously a lot more work than you had anticipated. Are you regretting making that pledge? Not at all.

Okay. I absolutely love it. It's so fun. People seem to love it. People seem to love it. It's so fun for you. You know what? I'm so freaking happy we're talking about this.

These no good, like. Oh, my God. Calm down. Also, like. These no good women. Oh, my God. Not the women. I cook for them every day.

Every single dinner in this house. Every single dinner for the last, what day is it? Wednesday. Every, no, like what, what like. 16th. Every single day for the last 16, I it every no like what what like every single day for the last 16 i think it's actually 17 17 days i've cooked dinner i've cooked dinner for you i've cooked dinner for the sisters i've cooked dinner for their children it's funny that and and yet i am dragged through the mud and i'm sick of it. So let's say this.

Let's say this. I hear you. You acting like Fork of July has created this bounty of food in the house and we're all so lucky. You go outside. You cook one thing for yourself. You come in with like the last bite. Salmon burgers. Okay, salmon burgers.

Ready? There were four. There's ten people in this house. Thanks. Great. I also made four regular burgers for dinner. Thanks. Oh, is that not enough? No. So I didn't cook enough for you. No, that's like, you just act like we should be so grateful for

Fork of July because it's created. You should. Because it's created this, like, bounty, this buffet every night. It's not true. And he literally eats, like, the ones that are good. Oh, yeah. He gave us a big vat of the Mexican street corn pasta. Nobody wanted that. No, no.

We wanted the tuna tartare. Here's the thing. And you got the tuna tartare. Here's the thing. We got a tiny little portion of tuna tartare. Here's the thing. And if you want to check out more, you can go to my Instagram,

boywithnojob. That said, Margo said it best on one of my posts. She said, I'll do Fork of July anytime you ask. Anybody with a reasonable palate would be absolutely overjoyed. Now, you have an unreasonable palate. But what about Jackie?

What about Jackie? Jackie hates Fork of July, too. Jackie hates Fork of July. Everyone in the house hates Fork of July. We just have to say it. No, Jackie hates Fork of July for ulterior reasons. I'm not sure why. Because you take all the good cooking utensils and bring them outside.

No, I... Every morning I come outside to walk the dogs and there are literally different kitchen utensils. Yesterday I found in the lawn a cheese grater. I take... A big cheese grater in the lawn, in the grass. She doesn't use the cheese grater. So sorry about that.

All she does is cook. She has never once said to me personally that she would prefer for me not to use the butcher grater. So sorry about that. All she does is cook. She has never once said to me personally that she would prefer for me not to use the butcher's block. You know, I think I've spent $20,000 this summer on food and cooking appliances. I'll go and buy a different cutting board. It's so not a problem. This passive aggressive nature of me and her looking at each other in the kitchen, her not caring, us smiling about sourdough and then her coming on the podcast and shitting on me doesn't make sense. That's true. That is Jackie's toxic trait.

Like every time I go into the kitchen, you two are just sort of doing this dance where like you're, you know, sharing utensils and, you know, being sweet and being kind. And then she does come on here and, you know, kind of drag you to fail. She doesn't say it to your face. Yeah. So she could be honest with me. Yeah. I'll talk to her. Otherwise, I'm going to start the He-Man Jackie Haters Club.

The He-Man Jackie Haters Club? Yeah. Why He-Man? Isn't that from Little Rascals, He-Man Woman Haters Club? Do you remember that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Niche reference.

By the way, I'm pretty good, right? Pretty good. Glide. And slide. Is it slide or glide? I don't know. I think it's slide slide loves did you guys talk about that talk about what slide and soda method ben did the soda method with us last week and there is a portion in the leg series where you have to literally do that

move from heavyweights but you're just like gliding with your inner thighs no okay and ben's in the back of the class ben's in the back of the class being like slide it was so funny do you like the soda method tell everyone your thoughts I absolutely love the soda method before I get into that you guys know I watch movies 200 years late yeah I can't remember a line from any movie any movie for whatever reason heavyweights I remember

every line that's why it's the only movie I quote because I can't remember anything else it's a movie about your life so deep it's so deep and it's so personal to you I get it so much I love it too I love it so much and we do watch it like every couple of years it's on Disney plus for anyone who might be interested so it's so good let me say this let me say this and then I'll go to the soda method oh yeah you go you go the soda method is sick I love it Ben in a soda method class is seriously like top tier comedy because it really is.

It's for everyone, but it's really girl. It's it's girl focus. It's girls. It's strengthening. It's sculpting. It's not like crazy cardio or boot camp or weightlifting. It's sculpting. It's small movements, you know, little things that like burn the shit out of your arms.

But if you're looking at me, it doesn't look like much. And Ben's body like doesn't work like that. Ben has I don't even know what the word is. You have like a different type of bone where like your bones don't bend they don't bend you you might be the least flexible human being on the planet awful awful it's so so not flexible and so when we're doing this like that's what you hear during soda ben's giving birth in the back no and we're doing like hip hip exercise hip flexors my hip a hip is dislocated the first time we did soda method ben was like complaining to hillary the founder of soda method like about his aches and pains

and she like recommended this um masseuse who like specializes in like sports amazing sports medicine and like she's not even so much a masseuse but like a stretcher right i only did it once and now i'm thinking about it i complain a lot to hillary i went up to hillary in the last class i'm like you know my elbow she's not a doctor. Something has been causing my elbow to make my hand start to fall asleep in the middle of the night. I wake up, my hand is asleep. And she just said passively, she's like, you know, I'll look into that for you. And I'm thinking to myself,

why did I give her this problem? Whenever we go to workout class, Ben at the very end is like complaining to the instructor about all his sort of ailments and aches. And you're kind of like a nightmare client. Nightmare. You know, you have a pimple on your chin. Where? Please let me get it. No, leave it alone. Leave it alone.

Ah! You didn't even fucking get it, did you? No, I didn't. You didn't even fucking get it. Is there anything worse than that? Is there anything worse than that? It wasn't. When your partner tries to pop your pimple. Partner? What are we, lesbians? No, I was just thinking. I guess that's true. Wife? Spouse. Spouse. Spouse is a better word.

What if you're a domestic life partner? Wouldn't you say spouse? That's what it is. What if it's boyfriend and girlfriend? That's why I said partner. Significant other. Significant other. That is the far less fruity term. You're fruity. Your pillow fell on the floor.

And it's an important part of the decor here. If you could just pick it up. I know it's like your first time in Toast Studios without ruining everything. Okay. Oh, we could also talk about that. Let's also talk about that because you were a big fixture on the podcast last week when Jackie and I sat down to record. And thankfully, before recording an hour-long podcast, we realized that one of the microphones

was muted. It seems to me. And we would never do that. And the last person in the studio was you and your big stupid dumb fucking podcast it seems to me as though the toast and i'm just putting this together that the toast has needed a scapegoat for some time and that scapegoat is me any problems any fodder it's me any issues if that's what you need to tell yourself to get through the day and like just not really sort of internalize the fact that you are the problem then i support why would i touch why would i press mute ben you we jackie and i did an episode

we closed everything you came in here a couple of hours later to do your podcast you touched everything i didn't because i And then we come back the next morning and one of the microphones is muted. Touch nothing. But you only use one microphone and we use two. It was obviously you. Touch nothing. Touch nothing.

And we literally have the text chain to prove it where I said, do I need to lower the second mic? And I told you no. Correct. And you still did it. So not only did you ruin my podcast studio, but you also disobeyed me. Nope, didn't do it.

Are you having fun? So every day on this podcast, we come in here and we talk about, I don't know if you know, like some of the toast lore, but this is Swirly Summer. Do you know that? Of course. And every day we come on here and we say, you know, Swirly Summer, we look at it at a glance, how it's going, how it's been going, how it will go, future plans, things of that nature.

Can you do me a favor and give us your take on Swirly Summer thus far at a glance? Are you having fun? Are you sick of me? Are you sick of people people in the family is there anybody you're like kind of beefing with i'm having a great time it seems as though me and jackie are beefing yeah but to be honest with you i don't even know it no she's very very kind of two-faced i'm just gonna say she's toxic oh she's getting she's getting toxic that's funny because she in the podcast said yesterday she actually has no place in her life for toxic relationships like she that's not something she does yeah she just cuts like she doesn't talk to you so you think you're being cut out of jackie's life i'm not sure what it is wow but the fact that she i think maybe for the patreon we need to have some sort of sit down like some group therapy no i just like to know like she she airs she seems to air some

grievances i'm a topic of conversation quite frequently right yeah and in person i'm not that same topic of conversation when i see her And in person I'm not that same topic Of conversation When I see her She's like oh let's cook You know Or like oh let's do this The thing about Jax

But then she comes here And she's like fuck him And I hate his cooking The thing about Jax Is that she is a lover Not a fighter Yeah And it's as simple

And as complicated as that No but she seems to be A quiet fighter She's a quiet fighter A fighter behind your back Some people are quiet quitting Jackie's quiet fighting Understood

Besides that Swirly swirly summer. It's fantastic out here in the Hamptons. Farmer's markets. Citarella. Ooh, I need like some kind of gold card at Citarella. That is the number one customer. And for those who don't know, it's like a chain of Hamptons grocery stores.

There's one in like Bridge. There's one in East. Not just Hamptons. They're in the city too. Oh, yes. It's just like an upscale grocery store. But it was founded here. Like the first one ever, I think,. Not just Hamptons. They're in the city, too. Oh, yes. It's just like an upscale grocery store. But it was founded here. Like, the first one ever, I think, was in the Hamptons.

It's just great produce. And it's the most expensive grocery store. You think Air Hoan? Like, you've never experienced price gouging like this. Like, Citarella. And so Ben goes every day for it. There's price gouging. Air Hoan's definitely more expensive.

You think? Yeah, Citarella's really not thating. Air wine's definitely more expensive. You think? Yeah, citronella is really not that bad. No, no. We literally bought flowers for Shabbat dinner and it was $500. Well, I wouldn't buy flowers

at a grocery store. Like, that's where you'll get gouged. I'd buy salmon and the salmon is $29.99 a pound. I'd buy salmon. Let me know if that's expensive. You're such a nerd.

I'm really not sure. Well, you couldn't be joining us at a better time. Okay. We've got stories. Great. We've got stories. Great. We've got Dear Toasters. Excellent.

And we've got some Dear Toasters submissions about marriage, about semaglutide, a drug we're both extremely familiar with. So I actually think Jackie's loss is our gain because we need you here. I'm here. I'm here. Ready, willing, and able. That's my next question for you. Are you ready for the Fast Five stories that you need to know?

You can do it. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know are brought to you by Quince. Whenever we're gearing up for our next trip, deciding what to pack is always so stressful. The clothes we have either don't fit, they're worn out, or they just don't match. But then we discovered Quince, our go-to for high quality vacation essentials, and we'll be packing them for trips to come. The sweater, the cardigan I've been wearing literally all week, I think I wore it yesterday on the toast, is from Quince. It is the best cardigan I own. I only have one cardigan here and I don't even need another one because Quince is life-saving. So Quince is so great because they have really premium quality but also affordable items. They have premium European linen dresses, blouses, shorts from $30, washable

silk tops, so much more. And the best part is that quince items are priced 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands they do that by partnering directly with top factories they're cutting out the cost of the middleman and passing the savings on to you quince only works with factories that use safe ethical and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes which we love so many pieces that i have from quince like have really become staples in my wardrobe they wear really well they're all made really well i've got cashmere sweaters great trousers like i said that cardigan that I absolutely love. Um, Quince is just the perfect place if you're looking to really build, like Jackie always says, like a real capsule wardrobe

Give me your hand. That was trumped.

Give me your hand. We are so funny. I literally like I went, I did mental gymnastics on the podcast yesterday to bring up the fact that I was in attendance. We were. We were. We were there. I'm so glad you brought that up.

It's one of my favorite facts about myself. We were there. NBA All-Star Game. Los Angeles. The killers were the halftime performance. Like, are you kidding me? That was a really crazy weekend for us. We'll get into the story in one second, but so much happened to us that weekend. I was kicked out. Ben was kicked out of the NFL, the NBA all-star game for being like a loser. No, this was my dream. Honestly, I have a great, I have a bone to pick with TNT. So Ben got a brand partnership with NBA on TNT, which like, that would be like me getting

a brand partnership with Chanel. At that point, it was like, it meant everything to you. It meant everything to me. And we just got like these crazy passes that took us on the court. We got to go watch the Charles Barkley and that, that crew of NBA on TNT live taping. And then they had a live performance of The Killers. It was one of the best brand deals. Flew us first class.

It was one of the best brand deals we ever did and it was years ago. All I did, I was excited. I was excited. I was oversharing. I was oversharing. I took a picture of my credential. I didn't know.

And they literally, there was no warning. They deactivated it. It was like, no good. You're done. See you later. They deactivated. Apparently if you have like really good backstage credentials and that's how I learned that fact about every now when I get like a backstage pass, I never, if I'm taking a picture, I

take it off. Who knew? I had no idea that you're not allowed to share. And literally the second the picture went up, Ben's thing was deactivated because then somebody could just print it and go backstage and kill someone. I guess. No, it makes total sense. But oh my God, the NBA and TNT people like the social media managers who were like charged with our care

we're like are you fucking kidding and they had to work so hard to get another one they never worked with us again no by the way worked so hard to get another one they put us in the 300 section you know we got punished we got punished we were literally the rafters yeah we got on the court and then we got punished they're like here you can have these loser seats and we're like thanks so we left but no we did hear fergie's national anthem and we heard fergie's national anthem and that was at the time the worst really really bad but now this one is really really really really bad and she released a statement long uh short shortly after we recorded yesterday's episode kind of explaining we had said like we will forgive her but we need to know what happened

you know and she basically admitted what i had not to make everything about me i did say she sounded drunk and she released a statement saying i'm not gonna bullshit y'all i was drunk last night i'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help that i need that was not me last night i apologize to the mlb all the fans and this country that i love so much for that rendition i'll let y'all know how rehab is i hear it's super fun so that's crazy i don't even i like there's so much more that i need to know no first of all who is this woman so she you've probably heard i play her music she's a country girl this is a big opportunity for her she's not a big name okay um and the fact that she's squandering what's one song that i might know but you'll be breaking more hearts than mine

oh i like that song yeah but by way, those are not the same people. I know. In the music, like in the song, that song, it could be Kacey Musgraves. Right. I know that song and I'm always thinking to myself, is that Kacey Musgraves? Yeah, she's got this very sweet, very high pitched voice. Yeah, that clearly doesn't translate in real life. I don't care if you're drunk.

No, by the way, as somebody who often does drunk karaoke, like it really relaxes like your vocal cords. Like being drunk is a valid excuse for the voice sounding so bad. You can sound so bad when you're drunk. You can also sound really good.

I'm just saying I've heard you at drunk karaoke before. You've never sounded like that. Not only was that, it hit two. But by the way, Ben, I am not an alcoholic,

so I'm not drinking as much as ingrid was so the idea her thought is that or what she's saying is that she was blackout drunk yeah checking herself into an institution yeah doesn't remember anything i i would guess imagine that pit waking up that's terrible yeah that's terrible like uh yesterday i was mad like i'm like this is disgraceful i love country music i love this country. And I thought she was disgraceful. This morning, when I think about like the morning, the hangover she had and then like being told by whoever or even just checking her phone, I feel so much sympathy for this

girl. Like seriously, I hope she gets the help that she needs. Like I'm no longer angry that the pit that she must have. Oh my God. Like seriously, if that were me, like I don't know if I could ever show my face again. So bad. So it's just a reminder. Talent. Don't don't use don't use don't use don't drink don't do drugs before performance yeah yeah yeah then because then that's the thing is like a lot of people like you rely on whether you're like a comedian or a singer a lot of people get into the habit

of like doing a shot before the show and then it's like you rely on it so much and then you need two and then you need three. And it's a very slippery slope. One thing that I will, one credit that I will give to Jackie, the second show on this tour, you were like, let's do a shot. The third show. We walked into the dressing room and there was a bottle of tequila and I was like, should we do a shot? Like that would be like fun. She was like, no. And Jackie's like, no, no. She was right. And I was actually encouraging him. Like, yeah, do a shot, feel loose, whatever. Cause you're a bad influence. Who knows what could have happened in six months.

It could have been a slippery, slumped, girly, swirly tour. Seriously. It could be the end of me. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Gotta be so careful with these things. You do.

You do. Well, I really am wishing her the best. I don't know her, but I'm wishing her the best. And I said this. Isn't it weird wishing somebody the best that you don't know? No, I'm just wishing her the best. I don't know her, but I'm wishing her the best. And I said this. Isn't it weird wishing somebody the best that you don't know? No, I'm just wishing her the best.

Okay. I don't know her, but I wish her the best. My favorite thing about this whole story was like the players that they were panning to and like seriously

the control that they exerted and not like even breaking a smile. And that's a funny thing when you go back and watch the Fergie one. Obviously her vocals are the most interesting part, but then they pan to a couple of people and Draymond Green is the one who ends up like laughing being like what the fuck is going on it's such a natural human response and I think they're all afraid to show anything other than like a stoic face because you don't want to be disrespectful to the country you

know all those who have served but seriously those guys nobody broke a smile heroic and we can't share names but like we're friends with baseball players no i said on the podcast yesterday that pete alonzo was there and like oh my god i said that he was there and he's a hero because he didn't laugh he didn't laugh and he's like a mensch he's a mensch a mensch yes but you should be free to laugh when something's funny i agree it's free country i agree right i agree that we're singing about this free country that we're singing about this free country that we're singing about. This next story

actually means the world to me. It's actually incredibly un-American to have to not laugh at something that's funny. You tell them, Pops. Because those same people that we are respecting, our great military,

while the national anthem is being sung, are out there fighting, protecting our right to laugh at something when we think it's funny. That is so true. Right? Freedom to laugh. Laugh.

Freedom of laughter. Freedom of laughter. That's beautiful. Right? For sure. I thought so. Now, I'm sure you'll have nothing to add to the commentary on this story,

but I absolutely need to talk about this. My girl, Christina Hall, is getting divorced. So this is her third husband. Her name is Christina El Moussa, originally. Then she was something else. El Moussa? Yeah, Tarek El Moussa, you know, from, remember Flip or Flop?

You ever watch that show with me? Yes. So you know the couple. Yes. Do you know the history? I don't want to say something. Okay, I'll tell you. I think I do.

He took a gun and went into the woods? Yes, I was going to say abusive. Well, that's not the right word, but you're not wrong in the path you're going down. There were never any allegations of abuse. He had this kind of breakdown where he took a gun and ran into the woods behind his house, and the helicopters had to come find him

because he was a danger to himself and others. And then they just got divorced and moved on with their life and never told us why the fuck he took a gun to the woods. Do we know? He recently, this was um do we know he recently this was years ago and he recently when his book his book is coming out he said that he just took the gun because they live in an area with a lot of wildlife and he just did it to protect himself in case like an animal came against him so it's like you're gonna go into the house of an animal

and kill the animal because you're in their house because you're fighting with their with your wife so whatever they've been divorced for a while she's been remarried like i think now two times after i just wonder what last name she goes back to because el musa was her like first famous name but we didn't that's not her born name that's her husband's name but it is the same name as her kids whatever this is just furthering my theory that she will be evelyn hugo you know that book the seven husbands of evelyn hugo no it's the seven husbands of christina hall like i think for her marriage is just like this sort of social construct and it's not like super serious.

And I think she's going on. She'll probably get married again because she's a hopeless romantic. I think it'll be her fourth marriage. She should keep Hall. Hall's a strong name. It is, by the way. But do you keep the last name of someone you're married to but you never had kids with? I don't know.

I think you just. How many times has Christina Hall been married? I think you just keep the one that sounds the best. Yeah. Okay. She has three marriages Joshua Hall oh yes and then she got married to Ant Anstead who was like this like random tv host whatever and they like got married there's the first time anybody ever heard of him and then he literally ended up dating Renee Zellweger okay and now Christina Hall I mean and now Josh Hall so I mean, and now Josh Hall. So she's probably going to get married again.

She's getting really close to the seven husbands of Christina Hall. I think Hall. Hall. You think she's going to stay Hall? Or suffer. I think she's going to go back to...

Should we accept her? Yes. But I do think she's going to go back to El Moussa. Okay. Even though Tarek has gotten remarried. So his wife is Heather Rae El Moussa. That's weird.

Right? I don't think you can go back to something when he has a new wife. Okay, but like you have kids together. Doesn't matter. You don't think? No, it's gone. Speaking of like, you know.

What's her maiden name? You sooner go back to that. Right. She like hasn't gone by her maiden name like for as long as she's been famous. That means it must be like very like normal. You know? Yeah, hold on. Christina Hall maiden name. I love talk to text. Like Montgomery. be like very like normal you know yeah hold on christina hall made a name i love like montgomery what is it mckinnelly i'll tell you oh my god it's so funny on her wikipedia christina

hall nay hack formerly el musa and anstead i think hack hack h a a-a-c-k that's not a great one damn oh my god her birthday's july 9th christina hack wait her birthday's july 9th you guys my birthday's july 10th that's why i feel this like weird pull to always keep up with her because she's almost my birthday buddy you know how i feel about birthday buddies yes oh my god everything makes sense happy birthday christina hall it was just your birthday and mine. By the way, we were talking about last night, things that maybe you and my mom have in common. This birthday buddy, like weird voodoo.

Is your mom really into birthdays? My mom's just voodoo. But your mom's not into horoscopes. Well, cause we were talking at dinner. She's naturally voodoo. Ben and I went to dinner with a couple of couples. Yeah. And we were all talking about like the trope that,

you know, boys marry their mothers and girls marry their fathers. And we were like, you know, talking about whether we thought the people at the table had done that. And I don't think that you married. Me neither. Yeah. And I actually don't think I married my dad. I don't think so.

Like I know you never met him, but you were quite different. Okay. Love him though. Love you. I have no way to opine on it. I don't know. I don't know. But he seemed like a legend.

I think that your mom and I share like a couple of qualities. Like she's very snarky and like can be really, really funny. But I think like our OG personality traits don't overlap that much. I don't think so either. But both A plus women. Both, I agree, A plus women. So our next story is really interesting because I sat down to pick the stories and I said, Ben, is there anything going on in pop culture that you want to talk about? And he said, why,

yes, Claudia, there is. And this is a story I hadn't heard about and is so weird and random. I don't even know why you care. And picked by me because this is a story. This is a classic me story. So I like weird, weird, weird celebrity drama. Well, it's's not drama it's drama Goldberg reveals that she scattered her mom's ashes on a Disneyland ride so the view co-host revealed that after her mother Emma Harris's death in 2010 she decided to honor her by spreading her ashes on her mom's favorite Disneyland ride it's a small world no one should do this would be said on late night July 11th as she began the tale don't do it she said that her mother was a huge fan of Disneyland especially the ride it's a small world and she said when I was a kid the world's fair was in new york and it was the introduction

of it's a small world as for how she pulled off her her covert ash spreading mission according to whoopi while on a trip to disneyland following her mother's passing she rode it's a small world and would periodically scoop some of her up fake a giant sneeze that would spread her mom's ashes across the ride whoopi then would quickly play off the sneeze, joking, saying, my God, this cold is getting worse and worse. Vile. That is like really gross. First of all, and this is no disrespect to anybody that has the ashes of a loved one.

Ashes, if you're going to do it, belong in a place where nobody else can inhale them. Yeah, like nature. Nobody else can get them on their skin. The ocean is a great place for it. A forest. A four-year-old shouldn't have Whoopi Goldberg's mother's ashes in their hair. You know what? I am going to agree with you there.

Or in their ice cream. It's really, that's really cool. Or on their hot dog. And I feel like this is something she said to herself. You know, enough time has passed. I can tell the story and nobody will think. No, no, no no no time is enough and have you ever like been in contact with ashes no because it's not have you been in contact with ashes yes really who's ashes in judaism you're not allowed yeah it goes against like our laws you have to be buried so you don't get

cremated it's not a jewish thing so i've never like you know anybody i've known but when i was like 14 and i was in camp um i went into my counselor's cubby she asked me to get something for a night and i got it and there was this like ziploc bag of dirt and i come out i'm like what is this and she's like oh it's my grandma wow and i actually i was really young i think i started crying i like felt bad for her that like i don't know it was just weird it's also just kind of weird to bring your ashes to camp by the way lie like why is she i hate when people do this you know i hate when people do what she could have easily just said oh it's dirt she could have now she needed to make it your 14 year old problem dirt slash sand if you've ever seen it it kind of looks like crushed up oreo it's like gray but why did she

feel the need to tell you it was her grandma you know we were close and i loved her okay and so that was something she shared with me okay okay but you have never seen ashes i've seen them like in movies that's not real i'm trying to think no well they had asked us when we put our dearly beloved romeo down sam romeo theo down if we wanted to have him cremated and then like spread his ashes. And Jackie very graciously offered to have a ceremony at her backyard because Theo loved it so much. But it just goes against like our, even though I asked the rabbi,

he was like, you can get Theo cremated if you want. It doesn't like go against any sort of rule, but it just doesn't feel, Theo was, it was a big Jew. It doesn't feel right. Yes.

Yes. And Theo was a part of a group burial. Yes, he was. It was important to us and then just saying just saying my mom had a dream that he was with another dog name's like billy billy and i think that that was the dog that he was group buried with ben's mom has like a third eye she's very into like clairvoyant and she definitely has some people are like connected

she definitely has like that third eye chakra some of the stuff she definitely has some people are like connected she definitely has like that third eye chakra some of the stuff she says like i don't like a hundred percent feel but she was definitely really connected to theo like her and theo were super super close and so i think her dream definitely meant something right a thousand percent i'm just saying i haven't heard from billy in a minute a thousand percent i haven't heard from billy because theo's at peace he has a piece just like whoopi's mother. Yes. To bring it back full circle.

Oh, to bring it back. Okay, so let's say, you know, God forbid, God forbid, Chas V'shalom, you pass away. Yes. Like seriously, my worst nightmare, please never, never leave me. And let's say hypothetically in this situation, we're cremating you. Where would you like to be cremated? Oh, I'm sorry. Ashes spread.

I was going to say, where would I want to be cremated? Honestly, at Madison Square Garden. Oh, that would be interesting. But no, but no. Where are we dropping me? Where do I love? Israel. Oh, that's beautiful.

Even though like. Put me in the yam, which in Hebrew means sea. Yeah. Well, I'm thinking like I'm such a water sign. You know how much I love the ocean. And like there's. Same. So I would say maybe half of me um in an ocean where you and i have had like great memories maybe like turks and caicos or aruba by the way any ocean we've ever seen we've had great we love the ocean we love the ocean and then maybe put the other half of me

like in the mountains where you know i have such fond memories of our family trips yes okay that's sweet that's but don't cremate me all that yeah was going to say like the cremation process is just so like. This is definitely like a weird conversation. Yeah. Okay. So should we move on? No, because for me, and I don't think everybody has this association. Like I think of the Holocaust, right? Me too. Okay. No, you were saying, where do you want to be cremated? I'm like anywhere but Auschwitz. No, literally. Like that's just what I think. No, I'd like to be cremated. Not against my will. Yeah, totally. No. Yeah. Not against my will. Yeah, totally. Yeah, not against my will. Yeah.

And preferably dead first. For sure. Yeah, that would make it better. Our next story, speaking of Jews. Ooh, Jews or juice? Jews with a W. Drake, our fellow brother in... Christ.

No, our fellow... What did you say? Our fellow tribe member. Brother in Moses. Our fellow tribe member is going through some really hard times. You know, his, his house is like really famous.

Everyone's really well known as big Toronto house. It has flooded. You're just saying I saw this. I have an opinion. Okay. Well, his house flooded and he shared videos on social media of the flood. And you think a flood,

you think a couple of waters, you know, no, it was literally Brown duty water, like inches of Brown duty water in his house he shared footage of the scene inside his massive estate there's brown liquid flowing through what appears to be his walk-in closet area he got a member of his house staff trying to keep the door closed to protect some of his wardrobe while he's walking through the watery mess with a broom which

definitely seems useless at this stage of flooding it's really gross um he made a joke saying that this better be uh espresso martini because it literally looks like coffee it's really gross um he made a joke saying that this better be uh espresso martini because it literally looks like coffee it's really round large sections of toronto are underwater right now on the heels of three huge storms that have left citizens stranded and without power drake by all accounts does still have power despite the intense flooding and nothing about this looks pleasant toronto got almost four inches of rain on tuesday breaking a more than 80 year old record so obviously like people are going through way worse things than, like, his walk-in closet being flooded

and, like, his enormous mansion. And if he's having a problem, he can get on his 737 plane and fly somewhere, like, with better weather. But this is disgusting. Two thoughts. First is whoever constructed his trillion-dollar home, because this is truly an estate, you don't make it flood-proof?

I think when you're building a house in Toronto, like, you think about other things, not flooding. You think of everything when you have an unlimited budget to think of everything. That's all I'm saying. You think of everything. Every pizza glass is bulletproof. Exactly. It turns into a bunker. You press a button.

All of a sudden you're in some like, you think of everything. Second, he obviously has the best insurance in the world so what am i looking at something that's going to be completely repaired by next week again money is no object insurance is there i don't really know like what this is i just think like or is it a paper trail for insurance i think that drake was just like sharing you know what's going on in his life i don't think like he was looking for like a critical analysis of his Instagram story you know understood is it like actually we shared remember when we had a flood oh my god we shared we shared the flood and he probably thought it was funny we had a toilet that would not stop overflowing like seriously

we would be out of the house and no one would be peeing or pooping and it would just like start rising and the difference between us and Drake is like Drake is so rich like his floors are sick like at the time our floors were like these like wooden parquet floors that were just like bubbling the bubble. If you know the bubble, if you've ever had a flood on like hardwood floors, you know, it's seriously just one of the worst things on the planet.

Woof. Woof. Woof. Why do you say it like that? Woof. No, like woof. I know.

I like woof. Woof. Woof. No. Woof. Woof. What are you gonna make me for lunch? See?

See? See? We also have a live show tonight. You see, I cook every meal. Yesterday, it wasn't even a fork of July. Hey, Ben, can you make me chili and hard-boiled eggs? Which, by the way, fucking nasty. Yeah, sure.

Of course I will. No, I don't want chili. I want a taco. Because I am a living chef. You are. You're kind of like Wishbone Kitchen in that sense. Who, by the way, my friend. Yeah.

Not like my cyber friend. What do you think she thinks about Fork of July? I think she loves it. I don't know about that. She'll have to let us know. Wait. Oh, we also have a live show tonight in the Hamptons. Our first of two this week.

Woof. Ben has been at every live show thus far. Tell us your thoughts. Sell some tickets. I've been at every show ever of yours. Yeah, you have. Every show ever of yours. Whether, you have. Every show ever of yours. Whether it's the Toast Tour, whether it's

you as the solo comedian that you are. Every show. What I will say is every show has been different. Every show has been hilarious. There is a general theme, but there's also so much improv. And the show is really so fun, so funny, so you. Thank you. And you know,

sometimes I make an appearance just one time and it won't be happening again so you know sometimes i could be there so if you're looking for me no that's where you can find me they're looking for me that's where you can find me our fifth and final story is a little bit more sports news but it's also taylor swift adjacent so of course we're going to talk about it but also we have our resident sports experts so i wanted to see sure your thoughts andy reed is talking about taylor swift and kelsey and travis kelsey again oh speaking of ben and i sat down to watch receiver. I don't,

was that the only one who thought Travis Kelsey was being filmed? Like I thought he was one of the subjects. I also just like have no interest. Sorry. Okay. I care. Like I love George Kittle and Debo, but by the way,

I, I do too. I just like, I, I'm not like, it just, we watched it for like a second. I'm just,

I'm just like over these programs where they follow an athlete. It happened. I'm not, I'm not. Why? It happened already. We've seen it. But it's so interesting to see what it was like behind the scenes, behind the man.

Again, again, and again, and again, and again. Think of something creative. So the Kansas City Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid, is sharing his thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's relationship. While speaking on the debut episode of the Athletic Scoop City podcast,

Reid was asked about the amount of attention tight end Kelsey has been receiving since he and Taylor Swift went public with their relationship. This is what he said. I think it's great for him. He can handle it. As a matter of fact, I think he probably loves it to a point. I think that's a great escape for him, he said, while talking about Travis Kelsey's fame. I say that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game. She can kind of escape having to be the show. When he goes to her concerts she's the star the nfl coach joked that taylor swift could put travis to work while he goes to her eras tour

show telling him that he could be her water boy i love how much he like loves and really respects taylor swift i think maybe some like coaches would be like he's distracted she's distracting travis you know no andy reed's the best yeah he's the man andy re Reid's the best. Yeah, he's the man. Andy Reid's the best. First of all, if you're over 300 pounds, I love you. Agreed. I love you. I love you. Agreed. Like, I definitely have, like...

Football coach body. No, also just, like, a thing for fat people. I love fat people. Me too. I love them. Me too. And, like, I remember he won the Super Bowl, and they're like, where are you going? And most people are like, either Disney World or they say, like, somewhere, like, some,

like, fancy restaurant, whatever. He's like, no, I'm, like, people are like either Disney World or they say like somewhere like some like fancy restaurant, whatever. He's like, no, I'm like going to get a cheeseburger or whatever. He's just like an all-American, big, beautiful man. Yeah. And he's got an amazing team. Yes. Great at his job. And he loves Taylor Swift.

I actually, I love what he said. It's true. Yeah. It's fun. It's an escape for each of them when they enter into each other's lives. And you want your partner to be happy. Yeah. I each other's lives and you want your partner to be happy yeah i'm not your partner you want your players to be happy like you happy life happy wife happy field totally if you had to play on an nfl team which team would it be like given the current like landscape 49ers oh yeah yeah but then you have to bang bang then you have to live

in san francisco just took a little it's eight games by the way this is the thing i never understood this it's eight games why would you ever eat yeah oh eight home games the entire season is 16 why are you basing your entire life around eight games it's actually 18 with the two preseason games yeah this is actually i think it's 17 also yeah well now they got rid of one preseason oh wow oh you know a lot yeah okay well they've been championing that movement being like the preseason games are a waste of everybody's time. Yeah. We don't even have that many games.

Let's get one more regular season game and one less preseason game. And I think this season it finally went through. This is going to be the first season with 18 games. Wow. Wow. I mean, that makes sense. Have you guys spoken on this podcast about how insane taxes are as it relates to games? You get taxed in every single state where you play a game.

The players do? Yes. So when the players file their 1099s. Yes. They pay, they get, wait, what? When Pete Alonso goes and plays the Toronto Blue Jays, he gets taxed in Toronto. But you get paid per game?

Yes, per game. Did you get a salary? No, you get paid per game. Really? They take per game? Yes, per game. Did you get a salary? No, you get paid per game. Really? They take your salary and divide it per game. Yep. 100% sure this is true.

Well, that's kind of like not to make everything about us. One of the best parts of being like friends with a pro athlete, like when we were with Kyle or when we go out to dinner with Pete and Haley,

I'm always like, I have a million questions about the logistics. Mostly about like the flights and like the seniority of like who gets what seats and so like that's really where I feel like I abuse my platform and my privilege um of being friends with athletes is the tax thing not interesting I thought it was like not at all I like saw your face like what the hell are you talking about why are you talking about no like I thought you were gonna share something interesting

but that's my mistake for thinking that you would ever say something interesting I thought it was interesting um I feel like people are to be like listening being like wow that was a fifth story i'm gonna cry the show's over it's not don't you worry because we still have dear toasters our weekly advice segment and dear toasters our weekly advice segment is brought to you by court furniture rental with court furniture rental you can get the furniture and services that you need to help make every life transition as seamless as possible so whether you're making a short-term long-distance move, relocating, starting a new chapter,

Hey, Jax intern, long time listener here needing some advice. I was recently at a music festival for four days camping with my husband and some of his friends.

One of his friends, who's a husband, and his wife I'm close with joined us while his wife stayed at home to take care of their four-month-old. This friend decided to take his ring off at the music festival and not wear it. He mentioned to my husband, quote, it's not like I do anything anyways. But then he disappeared for three hours. It made me so uncomfortable because I know his wife and I know that she was at home taking care of their four-month-old do i tell his wife about his messy behavior or stay out of it oof first of all that is fucked up well i mean there are like so many layers to this like casually leaving your four-month-old to go to a music festival with your friends without your wife weird it's kind of crazy especially with your wife's

friends i think they're all like couple friends because like the husbands are friends, the wives are friends. Yeah. So obviously that husband should have taken the year off and then they can go back together as a couple next year and ask a family friend to watch the kid if they need to go to this music festival that badly. But yeah, I totally agree. That's the first layer.

That's weird. Weird. So this guy's obviously not like a standup devoted father and husband. Anyone who takes their ring off is weird. Weird. So this guy's obviously not like a standup devoted father and husband. Anyone who takes their ring off is weird. Weird. And nobody takes their ring off with the intention of doing nothing because that's counterintuitive. Yeah. It's strange.

It's extremely strange. You want people to think that you're single. I think like if you are a girl and you take your ring off, the only reason I could think of that is not. You don't want to get robbed. Well, that or a reason that I can think of that's like non-nefarious is like you just want people to buy you drinks you know yeah but which isn't it's you know it's promiscuous behavior but it's not by any means cheating no but in that in that okay that's not what i thought you were gonna say okay because the removal of the ring for a man to

buy you drinks is the same idea that a guy would be removing his ring. Why? For people to think that he's single. But why? But to what end? The girl, like it's a transaction. You want to get a drink. What does the guy want to get?

A handjob. No, not necessarily. Yes. It's, I think that they're both equally strange. No, I don't think it's like that crazy to take your ring off to get a free drink. Honestly, like. Okay. Sometimes in this economy, like we can't be paying for our own drinks.

Sorry. Okay. I think that they're both weird. Okay. But back to this issue at hand yes does she tell the girl but what i thought you were going to say is that removing your diamond ring when you're in the middle of the desert clearly taking mushrooms like on like some like crazy bender to save the to save the ring is very normal the guy's ring i don't know costs anywhere from 250 dollars to a thousand dollars it can be replaced yeah just saying and by ring, I don't know, costs anywhere from $250 to $1,000. It can be replaced. Yeah. Just saying.

And by the way, why don't we have diamond rings? Because you're not a girl. No, but like, we could get something cool. Here, look, I have this diamond pinky ring that I just got from Ring Concierge.

Put this on. Put it on your pinky. It doesn't fit. Oh. How small are your fingers? I'm so skinny. I've been trying to tell you this for years.

Nobody listens to me. It doesn't even go. Put it back on. Oh, this is your pinky ring? Of course your pinky ring isn't going to fit on my pinky. So you're saying I'm so skinny. I've been trying to tell you this for years. Nobody listens to me. It doesn't even go. Put it back on. Oh, this is your pinky ring? Of course your pinky ring isn't going to fit on my pinky. So you're saying I'm not skinny. No, you're skinny, but like. Let's give this girl actual advice.

Please, should she tell the friend? Like, yeah, I'm sorry. Even though like a woman who's, you know, four months postpartum, does she need more to worry about? I don't think you tell her. But then like if she finds out, it's like everybody knew this and like was talking about it behind her back. They were talking about it on the toast. I don't know. I have a pit.

No, I don't think that you tell her because you don't know anything happened you don't know anything happened jackie always um airs on the side of like not telling like you know you don't want to start stuff it's not your place even when it's like family she always i think feel i feel like she leans in the direction of telling people not to say it so i'm totally with jackie like yeah i just you can't give potentially like marriage ending information when you don't have all of the information it's true you really need like you can't do it all of the hunch portfolio okay okay he was gone for three hours maybe again he was on mushrooms he fell asleep yeah or he was dehydrated and he was at the medical tent yeah

the medical tent maybe he was at the medical tent. Yeah, the medical tent. Maybe he was at the medical tent. Yeah, and I'm just saying, if you visited a medical tent, it's no shame. Have you? I have. You have? I have. I was going to say, because visiting a medical tent is weird, like an illusory. What the hell have you done? No, by the way, the medical tent is, it's very like camp.

Like if you went to camp and you go to the nurse's office just to get a splint because you wanted your friends to think that you were cool. Yeah. Because you had a splint, which by the way, you need a splint. I do need a splint for my thumb. Reminder for the splint. Okay yeah because you had a splint which by the way you need a splint i do need a splint reminder for the splint okay i feel like you're just skirting around the question why did you i think i was just dehydrated and like i was so hot it was like 105 degrees so i went there got some fluids that is so you sat in front of a fan while like diplo was on or whatever what festival edc so you new york

yeah um we have a lot of marriage at least 15 Yeah. We have a lot of marriage. At least 15 years ago. We have a lot of marriage submissions, so I feel like it's perfect that you're here today. Here's another one. I just want everybody to know my right hand is now asleep. Oh my God, we don't care. No, it's unbelievable.

We literally don't care about your ailments. Go to a doctor. What do I do? What do I do? You haven't done anything. Go to a fucking doctor. I don't care. I've self-diagnosed myself with ulnar nerve entrapment.

Ulnar nerve. The outside nerve on my, by the way, look at this. You guys, you don't understand. All I do is hear about this stupid elbow. Like we don't care. Ready? Sleep. Yeah.

Hey, Swirlies. SOS. My husband and I have been married almost five years. By the time my husband was 31, he was almost entirely bald. So I asked him to get a hair transplant because I really did not love the balding look and it was getting worse fast. We got in a few fights about it, but ultimately he flew to Turkey to get a hair transplant.

Apparently it was a traumatic experience for him. And he was never seen again. Apparently it was a traumatic experience for him and now almost a year later, I literally cannot stand how it looks. I feel bad because I made him do it and he didn't want to do it and now I'm like, who is this man with the weird hairline? I don't know what to do or if I should say something. Help. First

of all, I'm sure you've spoken about it on the toast. I know we've spoken about it on Good Guys. If you need a hair transplant and you're not looking for the United States, I've heard Turkey's fantastic. If you're looking for teeth, nose or hair work, head over to Turkey. They say Turkey is amazing. It's like the best healthcare in the world and

it is really reasonably priced. Like the most expensive part of it is the flight. Yes. And some of these places will pay for it. Yeah. Some of these like plastic surgeons in Turkey, they're so like big and they want, they want foreign customers.

They pay for your flight. They'll fly you there. And hotel. Put you in a hotel. Like a gorgeous one. Yeah. Maybe. Okay.

Continue. Continue. Okay. Um, what was I saying? I'm not sure. What were they saying we're talking about the hair transplant you said if you need a hair transplant go to turkey yeah but also

like just do it in the united states like just spend okay you just said the opposite i'm just saying like if you need to leave the united states you go to turkey but you could also do it here there's great doctors here are there not great doctors there are i think that some procedures like are easy to do like i think a nose job like a classic nose job it's like anyone could do it i think hair transplant maybe it's because i've seen really bad ones like i think you need to go to the best of the best the best of the best now i want to say something about this submission because i love everyone who writes in and i support every single one of them but i would be doing you a disservice if i didn't tell you that you were the toxic one you forced your husband

to get a procedure he didn't want to get and you didn't just like you know love him for him which is like okay i actually feel that like sometimes you know you have to tell your partner like they look stupid in their outfit you know bozo energy which you did but you forced you forced this man to do like something drastic against his will and now you're like actually i don't like it you're giving toxic and i'm gonna my my diagnosis for this particular dear toaster submission is that you are the problem and you need to look inward and i'm sorry to be the one to tell you that but it had to be said agreed let's talk about what you said wholeheartedly um when we were going to surf lodge on saturday oh my god okay i told everyone let me just set the story we go to surf lodge on saturday i organized everything i organized

the reservation i organized the car i told everyone i organized the reservation no you didn't i did i literally organized the reservation you literally, you didn't. I did. I literally organized the reservation. You literally did not. I did. I said 410. I had scheduled the car to pick us up at 410. Ben gets in the car at 423. Oh, that's not what it is. I know.

But continue. Why were you late? Because at 410, I was ready. Again, this is like a beach club. It's a beach club. It's on the water. It's 90 degrees outside. And it's daytime.

And it's the middle of the summer in the Hamptons. And for whatever reason, not for whatever reason, Claudia got me this great Prada fishing shirt. It looks like a Luke Holmes Columbia fishing tee, but it's Prada. It's really sick. I really wanted to wear it. And the only thing that it looked good with was black jeans.

Oh, the shirt is black. Yeah. So he's wearing a black shirt and black pants. I said, get the fuck Back upstairs You look like an idiot She did And like I was like Personally offended by that

No and you were like Why why You were so confused That's my least favorite thing Ben comes And he'll be like Do you like this outfit And I'll say no

He says why Don't ask me I just I want to know why Because I don't I want to know why And then I changed And like honestly

It was the outfit of the day You looked amazing And then by the way Can you imagine Having been in that Humid club awful awful so what you're the words you're looking for are in that in that situation you were right absolutely great and this girl to this woman you're wrong like seriously you cannot say anything you will look fucking crazy yeah it's pretty it's pretty fucked up it's pretty fucked up our third and final year toasters is something that's so personal to me and to you because

it's about semi-glutide and it's about marriage. Hey, girlies. I've started my semi-glutide weight loss. For anyone who doesn't know, that's a Zephyr. I started my semi-glutide weight loss journey. Thanks, Trudy, for helping me take the leap. Yeah, that's right. I'm an inspiration.

I've already started losing some weight and my husband keeps saying things to me like, you're going to lose all this weight and leave me and you're going to so skinny and want someone else i would brush it off but now it's really starting to fucking annoy me i'm literally losing weight in preparation to get pregnant again so why on earth would i leave him what can i do or say to make him stop saying this stupid shit thanks so much first of all this sounds like a low self-esteem yeah fat man yeah so get it by the way go on ozempic with her start shooting him up start losing weight start losing weight as well no and he's insecure and also like as a like i'm still fat but like i was significantly fatter like you you need you need to understand that people

don't view you especially your wife the way that you view yourself like she married you because she thinks you're hot and she loves you and like for you to like bring this like toxic negative energy that the only reason why your wife married you fatty is because she's fat is fucked up like no she married you because she loves you and if she loses weight she's still gonna love you even though you're so fucking fat fat ass get an injection let me ask you a question because i lost a significant amount of weight before you yeah and then i think i inspired you to start too but so i was like looking slim and trim while you were still big and fat how'd that make you feel on any type of way on my life on my life it took me so long to notice i see i see you the same we talk about this all the time we look at

pictures from two years ago and we're like, who the fuck are those people? Yeah. Who are those people? When you love someone so much, actually love them, you really don't see it. You don't see it. No, everybody's like, Ben looks so great. I'm like, he literally looks the same and he doesn't even like look like he's lost any weight.

And I recently saw a picture and I was like, oh my God. And I see it now. It's pictures. But I agree with you. It took me so long. It takes so long it takes so long it's very different from just like a casual friend where you go six months you don't see them it's not only that and i think that's a misconception about ozempic is that people

think it's like gastric bypass where like seriously in a month you look like a different human being no ozempic is one to two pounds a week it's a very healthy normal stable weight loss people are like to me you got gastric you lost so much weight really it took me a whole year to lose the weight in a very healthy one, two pounds a week. That's why you don't notice it because it happens in a really healthy, slow pace. Yeah. Yeah. But I think if you do something more drastic, like a surgery, you'll notice it. Yeah. So moral of the story, stop making jokes to your wife. Otherwise she is going to leave you. Yeah. No, your response, your response, big fat fatty.

Your response should be, okay, Ben, say this to me. Be like, you're going to lose so much weight. You're going this to me be like you're gonna lose so much weight you're gonna leave me you're gonna lose so much weight you're gonna leave me oh don't give me ideas yeah no by the way that is what you would say and then you would shut up yeah throw it back in his face be like is that what you want me to do because you're talking like somebody wants me to leave their fat fucking ass yeah totally i love that me too thank you to everybody who wrote in was really transparent and vulnerable with us dear toasters at gmail.com is a submission for that ben i wish we could do this every day but i'm so glad for the sake of our marriage that we don't and jackie will be back in the studio tomorrow she just was really busy with like mom stuff and i didn't want to delay the episode
