Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Toast and happy, oh yeah, that's right, Tuesday. That's right, it's no longer Monday, and I feel like the spirit of the Lord is with me. Everything is different. Everything has changed. We made it to Tuesday. Yeah, things we did. That. Like, the week is basically over. Things we're doing. Tuesday. The week is basically over.

Wow, calm yourself. We're getting ahead of ourselves. We are. over wow calm yourself we're getting ahead of ourselves we are but it is a joyous occasion to be celebrating on this day of choose and on this day of choose I choose you turdy Lou oh yeah let's talk about that so Jackie and I recorded a podcast episode yesterday it's up on our patreon which was deserves it's high praise and award we did one of our favorite installments called Toast Radio, which gets a lot, a lot of heat. And we kind of just like walk through the fire. We took the heat and we're like the world.

We are so brave. The world needs Toast Radio, come hell or high water. So it's an episode that's like over an hour long and it features everything you would want if you're going on a walk, if you're going for a workout, if you're just like needing to kill time you're like should I listen to my favorite podcast or like some sick beats well you can do both with toast radio so it's like a radio show we pick music the theme for yesterday's was running songs but we got to talking because as you

guys probably can tell I've started calling Claudia Turtle because the nickname for me has more from Turdy Turtle Lou Turtle. It's a natural transition. It's the next progression, the next iteration of the name, but she's kind of stopped me in my tracks and requested that I stick to Turdy Lou

because you've kind of built a business around it, this whole brand, and if I carry on as Turtle, people could get confused and they might start calling you turtle when like turdy Lou has work to do and it's also really crazy how like yeah technically the nickname you gave me is duty and it doesn't bother me at all but like turtle like ew you know duty duty is fine it's like that Drake meme duty turtle yeah I don't know I don't like it i'm not slow requested she's requested that i

stop calling her turtle on the show to keep her attorney lou brand intact yeah and that's gonna be hard for me because i just kind of marched to the beat of my own drum correct you could say and i'm gonna try it i still call you turtle in private and the nickname will continue to morph in private because i am who i am right and i'm not gonna show i will call you Turtle in private and the nickname will continue to morph in private because I am who I am. Right. And I'm not going to stifle you. I will call you by your chosen name, Turtle Lou. I appreciate that immensely. Turtle Lou who? Turtle Lou you.

Speaking of Turtle Lou who, not to get ahead of myself, but it does feel like, you know, holiday season isn't that far away. Well, I just want to say it's raining here today which is why I'm wearing my girly set I'm going for some cozy vibes even though my studio I'm not going to complain because your studio is like hell on earth right now no but also like why would my studio's a little musty today why would the weather have any bearing on your outfits you literally work from home no I know but it was the mood it's called a mood like I looked outside and I'm like oh I'm feeling moody like what if I just went with a sweat and I've been I haven't worn sweats in a while because I've been like dressing for the

seasons but I even went so far as to think what about a chili oh you think it's actually it's kind of a chili day in New York too it's like super foggy but Ben's not home so my chef is out I don't think it's a chili day oh it's not the chilly season. Like I kind of filled up my cup in the fall and winter and I'm not really even craving like of course if someone put a steaming pot of chili in front of me I would enjoy myself but I don't have that itch. Yeah no but it does you know when the new year comes around it's we feel so far away from that sort of fall football chilly holiday season and I feel like we're coming out of like the worst time of year which is the first few months of the year it's the weather is horrible everyone's depressed there's like no holidays I feel like we're coming out of it it's like about to be May it's literally summer

and it's basically Christmas it's gonna be May oh yeah tomorrow is May I know that the ends of the month are so crazy busy for me I don't know how I plan my life to be this way but we always have like Patreon whatever obligations we haven't done like we have to do it at the end of the month. And then Redheads, we record the first Thursday of the month. So I'm always speed reading at the end of the month. And that's where I'm at today. We're recording Redheads today because Redheads drops first Thursday in May. I haven't finished the book yet. You guys. Oh, I'm usually like, first of all, I never like to tear a book to shreds because someone put their blood sweat and tears into this book and and okay so it wasn't for me big whoop by the way I

completely agree with that except every now and then a book comes along first lie wins that is so offensively bad our country friends that you absolutely have to tear to shreds because I do I also do feel bad especially like somebody with a platform like you know so many authors like they get so excited oh they chose our book for the redheads let me hear what they have to say I know and it's like how do you critique writing is so personal as two authors ourselves like I really don't know how to critique a book that I hate so much like I actually feel annoyed that I wasted my time I'm angry at the author so this book is not offensively bad I'm just not enjoying it and if it wasn't a book for the redheads I wouldn't finish it I did text snitch and she is liking and I think a lot of

people will like it I just am in a headspace right now where this is like seriously not for me and not only do I not like to tear a book to shreds but my role as the redheads host like I really do try to be in the middle of the road and that's also just my nature as a. Like if there's people who don't like it and people who do like it, I just, I'm a little bit of both. I see both sides. She's a little bit country. She's a little bit rock and roll.

She sees both sides as she always does. I always see both sides. When there's two sides to see. Oh, okay. Jingle. Okay. Barry Manilow. Turtle.

Turdy Lou. Excuse me? Asterisk. Jackie, put a dollar in the turtle drawer. And we're going to donate it to save the turtles? Oh, you know what? I kind of love that. And then we can still use plastic straws

because we're counteracting our carbon footprint by saving money for turtles. Speaking of the turtles, I'm using a reusable, sustainable cup today, morning toast merch. Oh, I am using a can of LaCroix. And I feel like cans aren't bad, right? It's plastic that's the enemy.

It's the plastic that keeps the cans together that sticks. LaCroix doesn't do that. It comes in a cardboard box. LaCroix does a cardboard. But that's what you have to look out for. So we are saving the turtles I do feel like as a society we definitely have like moved past the need for those plastic rings like it's kind of like tacky I agree and I like a cardboard box anyway me too

what was I saying though the redheads you see both sides you wrote a jingle about it I wrote a jingle about it and I'm sustainable. Question mark. Because I'm saving the turtles. Because Turdy Lou, that's how it got here. Yeah. I too am, you know, making progress in my reading journey. I have that like 40 pages of Demon Copperhead left. And I know you're going to say, Turdy, why don't you just like finish it last night? Right. How does someone have 40 pages left of a book that's around 400 pages that they've immensely enjoyed?

Because honestly, like the last 100 pages of the book are so like like it was going to be five stars and I feel like maybe now it's four what's going on with the demon I mean he's just in the throes of his addiction spoiler alert spoiler alert spoiler alert Dory overdosed so she's gone um and you thought like maybe that would be the thing because he she was really tethering him to the addiction. Like, he had all these hopes and dreams of, like, quitting, and he was, like, obviously taking pills every day, but he wasn't, like, you know, high all the time in the sense that he had a job. And she was really bringing him down,

and her passing away just had the opposite effect. So now it's just, like, everything's bad. Everything's bad. They're going up to Devil's Bathtub and I know something bad happens at Devil's Bathtub. I think that's like the climax of the book

and I just wasn't in the mood to get there. You know what I mean? No, I don't know what you mean. Finish the damn book. But also I have a lot of time before book club meets like over a week.

I usually finish the book like right before because I like it to be fresh in my mind. So I'm actually in no rush. Got it. I'm in an immense rush we're recording tonight make sure to send your questions to redheadsbookclub.gmail.com you're in a big time

rush I'm in a big time rush and next redheads book is my choice pressure any suggestions oh let me think I have been so bad on my reading journey I haven't read much I could give you guys a little preview of what I'm thinking I would love that people could sound off it's a historical fiction which would no we didn't just read historical fiction so it'd just be like two in a row no big deal um and it is called Lady Tan's Circle of Women and it's a time and place that I've not read about whatsoever it's 15th century China but it has 4.37 stars on Goodreads I have like no books to share because I've been, what am I up to on my Goodreads goal? Like I'm not going to hit it this year.

I actually have read maybe five books. I've read seven books. That's really bad. Yeah. I don't even know if I, oh wait, I haven't even set my reading challenge. Okay. Join the challenge.

My goal is 40. That's what I read last year. I've read six. Yikes. Yeah. Oh no. Serena's on here. Oh my God. And one of them is a book that's niche read because she used my kindle that's embarrassing I have to delete it oh my god I've read five books and I'm about to have six sorry we're just over here thriving as business

women as mothers as friends and as sisters like you know we can't do it all okay yeah but the crazy thing is it's like I it's not like I've been watching TV either. What have I been doing with my evenings? No, I sat down to watch Vanderpump Rules. And I don't feel like it's a statement on the season because I happen to think, everybody thinks it's a really good season and I don't disagree.

I find it unwatchable. I find 30 minutes go by and I haven't looked up from my phone. It's really bad. I understand. That's a you thing, though. Yeah, no, I think I'm not in a place to consume reality TV. I understand. That's a you thing. Yeah. No, I think I'm like not in a place to consume reality TV. I don't know why. Yeah. It's just like not capturing your attention enough,

but you do have to like try to put your phone down. Otherwise you're not going to. I know. That's like sort of my life. I have to try to put my phone down. Yeah. That's everyone's life. Reminder, put your phone down, but keep listening to the toast. Put your phone down and your headphones in. The show is about to begin. So we've got a great show today. It's Tuesday, which means nothing. But what does it mean for the stories? Describe them for me.

The stories were a journey, let me tell you, because I was combing through the publications and I didn't have nary a story in sight. Oh, that's bad. But then I went to People Magazine, which is usually my second stop. What's your first? Page six? Page six, yeah.

And all of a sudden, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I have five stories. Oh, so you're saying People Magazine is doing the work. Yeah, and I guess if I could give you a preview of the stories, they're of the People Magazine elk, though that's misleading because that sounds like, you know. Human interest, circus, dogs, which I love it's not that it's more like my publicist sent this in can you give it a read my publicist wanted you to know x yeah I like that

yeah so that's how I see people magazine I see people magazine like seriously because I think for me I know it's an online publication, but for me, they're an airport tabloid. Like nobody outside of an airport or outside of like 30,000 feet reads People Magazine in a physical sense. Or outside of picking the fast five stories. No, no, no. In a physical sense.

Like you don't pick up People Magazine and read it, do you? At home. People do. Well, that's just magazines in general. You would say that about any magazine. No, I feel like people get the New Yorker, you know? Okay, tabloid magazine. Yeah, People magazine is like the one magazine

that I feel survived the tabloid transition. They're a leading digital publication. But I will always think of them as like an airport purchase. And so I'm always thinking about reading on an airplane about the man with the 19-pound scrotum. Yeah, would you love him? Yeah, like woman chained to a well for 35 years Is released and it turns out she's Jewish you know Right classic

So stuff of that elk You like that elk Yeah I do Yeah but that's not like if that's the elk on a Tuesday It's gonna be a long week Yeah I agree But sounds like you found salvation at peoplemagazine.com and the stories are good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The story's storied. But like for a moment there, I was thinking like, are the Fast Five canceled? No. We haven't gotten there ever. I reserve the right. But just know, the day might come. And I think everyone would be fine with that. They support Yara Gurley's.

I think as long as the episode doesn't suffer in quality or length, they say do what you want with your time. Do what you want, what you want with my body. That's like a cursed song. What song is that? Lady Gaga and R. Kelly. Yeah. And the message, which I think at the time felt perhaps innocuous,

now feels, you know, R. Kelly coded. Eerie. Eerie. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, that's a convo dead end, don't you say?

I wouldn't say it's a dead end. I would say it's like a downer for sure. I would say that. I feel down. When I climb into bed, I start feeling sad. Well, sorry say that. I feel down. When I climb into bed, I start feeling sad. Well, sorry about that. Make like friends and pivot.

Oh my God. Are you using a friends reference? Yeah. I like friends references and I like the story synopses that you give us. I just don't want to watch the show ever in my life. Let me tell you something about growing up. It's a massive peak one, but a magical my life let me tell you something about growing up the massive peak one but a magical place let me tell you something about

growing up there was a time in my life when like I wouldn't even hear friends slander and I'll hear it now I don't agree with it but like I could see the critiques it's like a little stupid. I will not say anything. But I love it. And it's like a comforting show. Yeah, it's a comforting show. You know, Gen Z is having a moment right now. There's sort of a renaissance, a Sex and the City renaissance. Oh, I like that for them.

Because the show has just been added to Netflix for the first time. It was always on Max. That's interesting considering it's a max of a show. And it's still on Max, but I guess they, you know, made some money and sold it to Netflix. And people are having a renaissance. The young kids, I'm seeing it on TikTok. But there's some hard truths in Sex and the City

that aren't like, you know, Gen Z coded. They'd be like, that hurt my feelings, but it's true. Two, there are also a couple slurs there's actually an episode that i watched the other day where there are um i don't you know they're uh cross-dressers living outside not living working outside samantha's apartment and she uses the slur about them the t that ends in y that's the one um many times um there's a lot of just you know kind of crazy rhetoric in the episode and then at the end of the episode they all you know there's peace in the neighborhood Samantha invites everyone over for a barbecue I think it's like a season finale and they play that song at the end we're flying above the clouds and Carrie obviously it's kind of like an amazing moment and they play that song at the end we're flying above the clouds and Carrie

obviously it's kind of like an amazing moment like they're on this rooftop it's summer in New York it's the end of a season all the girlies are in a good place Trey and Charlotte are working it out and this song starts playing and then of course Carrie has to ruin it um and she like she does and says something in an accent that would have gotten her canceled. Like it's beyond not OK. And I just like I'm waiting for the tide to turn when it comes to the, you know, the sex in the city renaissance that's currently going on. So you want them to be canceled? No, I don't want anyone to be canceled.

Like I I'm, you know, grown enough to understand the times used to be different and you used to be able to say things that you can't say now. I do wonder if Netflix like bleeped it out they did what's what's your stance I think it's like an ongoing conversation if like things from the past that at the time obviously there was nothing wrong with it because it would have been a brouhaha then but it doesn't age well yeah I think that another example is entourage like in the first season of entourage they use the r word the f slur like a ton so when i first watched it i was like oh my god do i think it should be cut out like no we like we did that shit yeah it's a reflection of the culture is it uncomfortable yeah but like it happened yeah i also think like by erasing it and then people don't know that it

was ever there that it was ever offensive then it's just going to become a cycle where it's like oh we're saying it again yeah yeah so it's just an interesting debate and also when you think about sex in the city like the creator of sex in the city being a gay man like it wasn't coming from a place of hate it was just coming from a place of like that's how people spoke yeah so I'm curious to see how the dialogue unfolds well I think that show would be a good influence for Gen Z you do yeah like get out of the house touch grass go be with friends and people like they're never really in their apartments unless like Carrie's like writing her her thing like they need to live a little yeah I actually I like that it's definitely a show that embraces you know life life and makes you want to get out have fun it does friends be social

it's not a depressing show about depressed people no but it does um sometimes make me depressed because I think a lot about how like the city is so different because the whole show like is really like a love letter to New York and how like things were so different from like a socialization standpoint. Now, of course, like the times change, but like everyone is so recluse now and like secluded and and just the social scene was so different. It's definitely glamorized, but it feels so much more fabulous then than it was now. But maybe, you know, you always look back on things with rose colored glasses. No, City was just more fabulous then than it is now.

And it's really- Even watching Gossip Girl, like that's not, that was 10 years ago, that's not the same city. No, it's gorgeously done. Like- And when Gossip Girl was on, we weren't, we didn't feel like they were glamorizing New York. We're like, oh, they're just filming over there.

That's actually really true. But it looks glamorous now compared to what New York's become. Yeah. Also watching the first season of Sex and the City is quite jarring because you realize like they were taking the show in a totally different direction and they changed it. There's a lot of breaking of the fourth wall. Carrie's like, it comes at it like from like an anthropological POV.

They're like street interviewing people. They stopped doing that almost immediately. But it's interesting to see what the show was supposed to be. So they're going to be good for the kids. I mean, it can't be worse than whatever they're doing. Like it's gotten them to a really bad place, I would say. Try something new. I too would say. Yeah. It's time. I wasn't sure where I was going, but I am excited to dive into the Fast Five and I do think it's time. I agree. Without further ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know.

Promo code T-O-A-S-T. Thank you, La. You're welcome. Our first story, a little sports news to kick off the day. Travis Kelsey inks a two-year contract extension Making him the highest paid tight end in the NFL And Jason Kelsey also had some big news Oh yeah can we talk about Travis for a second?

Are you making it a story? Like I wasn't going to but I will 1A and B 1A and B sounds good to me Kelsey Brethren news And they were both announced on the same day. I mean when it rains it pours. It's true. But Travis Kelsey has signed a new contract extension. The two-year contract will make him the highest paid tight end in the league. He will make

more than 17 million dollars per year according to a report by NFL.com. After he's been in the NFL for 11 seasons he's talked about his eventual retirement, but he has at least two more years now with the Kansas City Chiefs. Thoughts? I think he should be the highest paid tight end in the NFL. One, he won.

So like that does make him the best. Two. Yeah, because before that, it was the tight end for the Giants. Okay. He's making $17 million a year. That's really crazy. But I didn end for the Giants uh okay he's making 17 million dollars a year that's really crazy but I didn't see the Giants out there like shaking their thing no not once I saw the Chiefs I did yeah and when you think about all the money that Travis has brought

in for that franchise especially in the last year with like his fame and his fortune people going to Chiefs games buying Chiefs merch he had like a 400% increase in jersey sales he deserves this race honestly I don't think it's enough yeah do you think I mean there was no way the Chiefs games, buying Chiefs merch. He had like a 400% increase in jersey sales. He deserves this raise. Honestly, I don't think it's enough. Yeah. Do you think, I mean, there was no way the Chiefs were going to let him go now because he's doing so much for the franchise by way of his relationship. And they've spoken about how they're building this dynasty. And that includes keeping like players, Travis, Patrick Mahomes, like they're, they're building

like a Gronk, what was his name? Tom Brady, Julian Edelman energy thing. Yeah. But I'm sure any team would have paid a little more to have him. like a Gronk, what was his name? Tom Brady, Julian Edelman energy thing. Yeah, yeah. But I'm sure any team would have paid a little more to have him, more than his abilities. Oh, you think? I do think. I think his relationship is major for team sales, everything.

Oh, by the way, that's an amazing point. Do you think he got bigger, better offers? Than Kansas City yeah no but I think maybe I mean his last contract was 14 million they won the Super Bowl means he did a good job 17 million for the next like isn't that much of a crazy jump but I think there's an intangible success that he brings and revenue that he brings that he could be getting paid for. I think he also loves Kansas City and maybe like if he had been offered a couple million more somewhere else it wasn't worth it to him to a like upend his his social life. He loves the town. It's like obviously comfortable for Taylor. He just bought this new house. Like sometimes taking a little bit less money to protect your quality of life and your peace like he's not that far from his parents and his brother like he could have been traded to the you know

lack like that's that's far so sometimes like and maybe Travis is at a place when you have so much money that you can afford to take a little bit less money for a better quality of life yeah I agree with that I would love to know if there were any offers coming through. Like who's a team? Like who's the equivalent in football of like the Yankees? Everybody knows the Yankees is the richest franchise. Like they have all this money. The Cowboys. Yes, you're right about that.

So the Cowboys. I wouldn't hate. Honestly, like I kind of like that like vibe, Texas, you know, all American energy. But no, it's good. Yeah, it's good. You know, if it's not broke, don't fix it. And it's good yeah it's good you know if it's not broke don't fix it and it's certainly not broke no and the new big house Taylor's a part of the social scene down there um it's like it's working for them you know a move all the wags anytime their husband or their boyfriend moves it

throws their life into disarray and they have to make a new home in a new town it's on the women and I think the stability is good for the relationship so this is good. I also can see a world in which the Kansas City Chiefs would have topped any offer that came in because they're on this like path to creating you know like what they say a dynasty and they have the money and they've had a banner year I'm sure financially as well so I think this probably also was like one of the top offers yeah and I think also Patrick wants to play with Travis yeah and I think that they listen to Patrick like who do you want to throw the ball to Travis but what was Patrick's contract like 500 million for I think maybe five years he is like what he had one of the biggest somebody else just got like a bigger one but Travis doesn't seem like a jealous type no it's just kind of crazy how like Travis is the

one getting tackled you know like he's taking the hits yeah physically yeah but a quarterback is a quarterback 1000% 1000% um love this Mazel To. I hope they're celebrating in style. We got a little bit more footage from that charity event they went to last night. And somebody caught a moment on camera of Travis just like kissing Taylor's shoulder. Like in like a goofy but like very, like it wasn't like sensual. It was just like giddy almost kind of way. And my God, the internet is like, I understand myself included, like not okay. It's crazy to see like a literal 300 pound man

like acting like that, you know? Yeah. Obsessed. He's in love. True love. A thousand percent. Part B to this story is that Jason Kelsey will be joining ESPN as an NFL analyst

for Monday Night Football's pregame show. So in news that just makes complete sense that I didn't think of because I just assumed like he has his post football career of being a podcaster. And what more does a person need? I couldn't tell you. But he's also joining Monday Night Football's pregame show on ESPN. Do they say how much it was for? Because like I'm nosy and I'm just curious. I'm scrolling.

I'm majorly scrolling. But, no, I haven't seen any figures. That's so Jason to, like, keep the number under wraps. He's not tacky like that. That's so Jason to keep the numbers under wraps. That's so Jason. Did you see Orlando Brown? He's so mysterious to me.

Went on a podcast and said him and Raven had a baby. But he's also, like, liar you know yeah I mean I just want to say like I kind of ship I know like I hope it's true I don't think it's true but sure like she's totally happily married her and her wife come up on my TikTok all the time does she have kids kids? I don't think so. I think they only recently got married like in the last five years. Yeah I don't think that she had so she he's saying like they had a baby. Back in the day. Gave it up. Like no back in the day. I'm not gonna lie I didn't watch the whole podcast. And the child's grown. He just said they had a baby. He didn't really there will be no explanation there will just be this podcast interview of Orlando. There will just be Raven and Orlando's baby yeah Orlando Brown greater than Orlando Bloom in some circles right

people with taste in this circle I've watched more Orlando Brown acting in my life than I've watched Orlando Bloom and I don't think that gets talked about enough no like I wouldn't change it for anything what you think I'm gonna watch Pirates of the Crabby Bean Crabby Bean of the Crabby Bean I'm not I just want to double check something before I say it which I really need to start doing more of you want to see what Orlando Bloom has been in no he's been in Nuts or Raven I know he was arrested and I just wanted to oh yeah yeah he's a couple of times he's he's troubled youth. Yeah.

He's troublesome for sure. For sure. What was the story? Oh, congratulations to Jason Kelsey. Monday Night Football. I think he's an excellent choice. He's got the personality. He's got the knowledge.

He's got the facts. He's got the connections. Yeah. No, no brainer. Seriously. Like he's a talker for a living he'll be fabulous yeah I love um and being on ESPN and Monday Night Football like I know Tony Romo like I think only covers Cowboys games well to me Tony Romo is always on TV because our TV is always playing

Cowboys games to me Tony Romo is the great loss of Jessica Simpson's life but I don't think either of them feel that way honestly ready I'm gonna say something crazy okay Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo walked so Travis and Taylor could run yeah believe me google the photos of them licking blue ice icing off of each other like that photo left an indelible mark on me but I think what can give you solace is there's really no bad blood like it really didn't end badly the only reason why it ended was because of John pesky ass mayor yeah and Tony Romo seems like a good guy he by the way Tony Romo seems like a good guy family man energy there's nothing in the book that would make you look at him differently if In fact, the opposite. Agreed. She like really spoke glowingly about him. Like she bought him a boat

and then he would go out on the boat with his friends and play her music and be like, everyone listen to Jessica. And I feel like he was maybe one of the only guys who she named, who she didn't really say anything bad about. Like Nick Lachey, there was plenty to unpack. I think she feels bad about the way that it ended

because like it ended because she was still hung up on John Mayer and John Mayer was like kept coming around yeah and Tony like wanted to move forward and she's very traditional yeah yeah and she couldn't we could have lived in a world though like where that was endgame and I'm happy with how it worked out for everyone but like I do often think about that parallel universe no and you just know that they would have been good together because Jessica Simpson didn't wind up with someone so dissimilar to Tony Romo and neither did Tony Romo end up with someone so dissimilar to Jessica Simpson seriously it was it's giving like right person wrong time

yeah as things do but it's all worked out yeah and like both of them are still happily married so like they're obviously in the right situation for them no it's good it's good but it could have been great well speaking of actually an amazing segue into our next story which is a little new sports romance news oh my god what is it you probably don't know because I only saw it this morning in people magazine but Johnny Manziel the name on everybody's lips this week is in a romance with Josie Canseco they confirm their romance with photos showing them cozying up at stagecoach this year now this is the sort of story like I actually don't care about you know oh that's so funny that's where you and I diverge maybe because I watched his untold Johnny Manziel and I just find him interesting and you also didn't watch the

season of Selling Sunset but you know Brie from Selling Sunset she has a baby with Nick Cannon oh yes before that she was married to Johnny Manziel so like he just keeps coming up for me oh it's so funny and Josie Canseco used to date Logan Paul and before that Brody Jenner so she keeps coming up for me and then these two find each other and they go to stagecoach like that's something I need to know I just like I find Josie Canseco so interesting because I just love the fact that her dad is like famed baseballer Jose Canseco and they named her Josie like they literally have the same name yeah well that's people do that you know you name someone after someone living in our religion you don't do that and it's like the male female version Jose I just love that there's a famous Jose Canseco and Jose Canseco.

You know? Yeah. I love it. Yeah. And I don't dislike this relationship. I could see them getting along. Except how does Johnny, not that you would know, I'm asking the general public, how does Johnny Mantel make money these days?

No, that's an amazing question. Like definitely he's a person who's like famous but not for his work like he doesn't have work but he's like I don't know no and at the time where he was working and he was a college football player and then when he was in the NFL he was making really good money but that was like a very long time ago at this point and from what I learned and untold like he was not financially responsible he like blew through everything I don't know what he's doing right now and how he could be making the kind of money that he needs net worth means nothing it does say that his current as of 2024 net worth is a million dollars I believe that

yeah so I don't know I don't know is it enough to keep Josie? Wait, there is like a theory that his family has generational wealth. Okay, tell me the theory, but based on what I saw in the documentary, I don't think that's true. Many wondered how someone could jeopardize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a big name in the NFL, but they also believed it was because Manziel knew

he had his family's wealth to fall back on. It's not every day that you see a person in their 20s living a lavish lifestyle. While he was making money from the NFL, Manziel always claimed his family had decades of generational wealth. Now, with Manziel's new documentary, Untold, out on Netflix, new details have been uncovered about his family and the money they make. And it says Johnny Manziel's generational wealth doesn't really exist. Okay, I see both sides. I see the fact that only someone who has a safety net could squander such an opportunity

and not be like just putting everything he has towards it. On the other side of it, he squandered most of his opportunity because like his crime when he was in the playing college football was that he was accepting money. He was going and doing signings. He was selling merchandise. He was doing like events because he wanted to be making all this money. And I think if he had all this money, he would have been able to wait a couple more years okay by the way that's exactly what this says it says that he was taking money during NCAA breaking the

rules so his manager knew he couldn't be seen having like living this wealthy lifestyle um so they needed a backstory came up with the idea of saying they had Texas oil money um as a freshman you aren't allowed to talk to the media, but they were allowed to talk to me. So the biggest spin that still exists is that I invented the narrative that his family was vastly wealthy. And the narrative stuck and so many believe it to this day. Oh, that's interesting.

Okay, it's all cleared up. There's no generational wealth. Cool, cool, cool. So I hope he's working. But if he's not, at least he's in a happy relationship. Yeah. But yes, there are a couple of people I think often about their financial circumstances. This is like a long running joke on the toast because it always was the Beermans.

But now I feel like, you know, my concerns were valid. Who else do I often think, like, how do they pay their bills? Because like just because you're famous doesn't mean you're rich. And oftentimes like a certain like D-list're famous doesn't mean you're rich. And oftentimes like a certain like D-list level, you actually like have no money. Yeah. And just because TMZ follows you around in the airport like doesn't mean you can pay your bills.

Unless you're calling them and selling that. Like yeah, but yeah. But typically if you're famous, you can turn that into money. Well, that would be ideal. If you're smart. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, ready would be ideal. If you're smart. Yeah. Okay, ready for our next story? Yeah.

Barbra Streisand has gotten herself into some hot water. She commented on Melissa McCarthy's Instagram. It was a photo of Melissa and her choreographer. And Barbara commented saying, hold on. Wait, Melissa has a choreographer and Barbara commented saying, hold on. Wait, Melissa has a choreographer. Yeah. She said,

give him, this was the comment from Barbara quote, give him my regards. Did you take Ozempic? Okay. So she has since deleted the comment, but not before being dragged. Now I feel like Babs,

like it's not even active on social media like the fact that she's making waves like in regards to a comment like I wouldn't have guessed she even ran her own Instagram I would guess it was run by like an agency promoting you know her memoirs and such so I have a shy sand so if you know at least she's authentic you know running her own socials that's the bonus here I'm trying to look on the bright side um I feel like maybe this was intended to be a DM I feel okay that's a good theory I feel like she typed like text him my regards and then accidentally pressed voice to text and then posted the comment like that's the only way I can think of like how you had such a like a pivot in the conversation.

Yeah. No, because then like wouldn't the DB capital if it was like coming from a voice to text? Let me test that theory. I'm going to text you. I'm going to text you. OK. And also she would still be posting it on purpose because she said, did you take Ozempic? Unless she had someone next to her with drastic weight loss.

Oh, maybe she was sitting next to me. Send in my regards. Did you take Ozempic unless she had someone next to her with drastic weight loss oh maybe she was sitting next to me sent in my regards did you take ozempic lowercase okay that's in line that's a theory but i happen to actually like your theory better like maybe these two know each other and like someone you know that you're comfortable with like you could ask that question too maybe they have that sort of relationship but i've never known these two to be besties. And maybe she doesn't really know the difference between a comment and a DM. Like what's, that other people are going to see this that it would cause such a hubbub

versus like I'm thinking I'm just like privately responding to what you're putting out there. And is Melissa McCarthy like looking much different? I feel like she had drastic weight loss like many years ago. Yeah. And she looks- So like this isn't new. Yeah, I agree. I. And she looks. I feel like this isn't new.

Yeah. I agree. I wouldn't see this picture and be like oh my God. No. She looks the same. Yeah. She looks great. Plenty of vibes.

I love. Like they. No one's trying. But they couldn't make me hate Melissa McCarthy. Yeah. That's good. But like there is no movement. You know.

For that. Yet. Yet. I know. Likeability's a prison for that yet I know like abilities of prison jacks I know so I'm gonna give barbra streisand grace on this like let the woman live yeah also like just always keep in mind it's like the elders and social media you know it's never gonna be good yeah and as far as bad things that could go wrong, this is nothing.

Yeah, but let this be the lesson here. Like your favorite singer is also an authentic influencer. Like she's out here with Instagram on her phone. I would have guessed prior to this, she doesn't even have Instagram downloaded on her phone. It was done by a management company. It's, you know, maintained for her to promote, you know, commemorate anniversaries

and post about new projects greatest hits things of that nature I never would have guessed it was out she was out here you know every now and then she'll send a selfie to the management team be like for the for the Instagram yeah I'm I want to see her Instagram to update my Facebook pages but she's like not even coming up unless I'm spelling Barbara wrong well maybe she deleted her Instagram because now she's humiliated by her faux pas yeah or she shadow banned no I found her you did it's bar bra bar bra not barbara no not barbara bar oh I was writing barbara oh that's interesting I'm sorry actually now if I take a look at it like she posts a lot of her personal political beliefs pictures of her dogs.

I do think perhaps it's co-managed because there is the classic, like, you know, ticketed virtual event, memoirs, throwback to the end of the cover of Vanity Fair. But I do feel like there's also some personal items in there. No, this is not, like, a tip-top agency. That's for sure.

No, this collage of her... This collage of flowers. Oh, my God. No, Claudia, this is not like a tip-top agency that's for sure no this collage of her collage of flowers oh my god no Claudia this is self-run all the flowers she got on her birthday she had 42 arrangements um oh I guess she wrote the original song for a tattooist of Auschwitz which is coming out oh love that partnership I've been seeing some promotion for it too Me too. I don't know if I have the heart to watch a Holocaust miniseries, but it looks good. And I mean, people love the book.

It's Tyler Cameron's favorite book. I stole it from that. Remember, I stole it from the rental house we rented over Christmas break. I didn't steal it. There was a bookshelf and I swapped a book. I left a book and I took a book. I feel like that's what you do. But people were like, no, Claudia, that's stealing.

Stealing and littering. And I've been meaning to read it. I do want I took a book. I feel like that's what you do. But people were like, no, Claudia, that's stealing. Stealing and littering. And I've been meaning to read it. I'm not going to. I do want to watch a series. I want to read the book first. Oh, OK. Maybe that's your next read. It's been my next read for six months.

Yeah. OK. Yeah, this Instagram page is wild. It's a wild ride. I could. I'm fascinated. It's not what I would have expected it to be. No. But that's bad for you.

I'm giving grace. I don't know about you all. I've decided to give grace as well in this moment. Great. And now, are you ready to give grace to our next story?

You're welcome. Just got me shopping on sex dot com. I need some tings. That's my influence. Our next story, Rihanna teases her amazing R9 album and says it needs

to represent her evolution. So Rihanna has an update on R9. During the launch of her Fenty Beauty Soft Lift Foundation in L.A. on Saturday, she opened up about the status of her long-awaited next album. She said, it's going to be amazing. It has to be. That's the only reason it's not out yet. I'm not feeling it. If I'm not feeling it and I'm not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away, there should be a show of growth, right?

I want to play and I feel like music is a playground and I want to have fun with it and show where I truly where I'm at. I'm not a big collaborator. It has to be be very intentional so I'll know when I have the record the thing is I feel like we get like a fake update on Rihanna's next album once a year for the last 10 years and nothing has happened and the way like I don't care I feel like every time we talk about this I say like I'm giving Rihanna grace like I love the era she's in I feel like she's so happy being a mom so fulfilled like obviously financially but also you know I feel like she feels like she's you know contributing and she feels like she has purpose with her business her businesses couldn't be more successful like how nice it must be to not like feel pressure I think a lot of artists feel

pressure to a stay relevant and b keep making money by releasing new music. It's like this hamster wheel you can't get off of. It's like that One Direction trope in that documentary. Studio tour, studio tour, studio tour. To be off of that must be lovely. Like she must not be dying to get back on it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't ever expect that we would get new music.

Honestly, at this point I've given up. So whenever it comes, like I'll just be excited. Take your time, take your time. I feel like all the hits she's given us in the past like they're so timeless like if I want Rihanna music I'll just go listen to some old stuff what do you think is the best Rihanna song oh because it's four or five seconds oh no I don't think so I love that like I like that song so much, but not the best one. Certainly not. Bitch Better Have My Money. Oh, so, so good.

Love on the Brain. Not my favorite. Really? No, like I like them all. I also like Love the Way You Lie so much. I feel that. You know? Yeah.

I'm like like and also what's the one oh diamonds in the sky like oh yeah but um I forget remember when for the Super Bowl there was like everyone thought she was gonna open with that one song run this town no she's like a hit maker yeah and honestly when you just said R9, if you would have asked me prior, like how many albums does Rihanna have, I would have said like four. I can't believe she had nine. Yeah.

So everyone can stay waiting. And then there's also like We Found Love, which is seriously one of the best songs of all time. But like we're just so used to it and it's also such a basic choice, but it's an incredible song. I just personally, like there's no pressure coming to me from Rihanna.

I love to see a woman out here, like being a successful businesswoman, mom. She's, I feel like she's a person who has a lot of inner peace right now. And like, I'm happy for that. Like, and I feel like true Rihanna fans, like just want her to be happy. Yeah. And I think when you as a person can just like accept, people like are worried if they don't put out an album, if they don't do this, they're just going to like fall away. And then, so they, they just like keep manufacturing stuff and it's just so fake

but when you can like actually have true acceptance it's like okay if I go away for a little like that's okay but people if you're like the cream rises and we miss you and we still think about you and it could never be irrelevant it's so true so we stay waiting and other news from Rihanna is that she's watching the valley and she loves it I saw I saw everyone's talking about the valley when I was talking to Stassi on the toast she majorly influenced me to start watching I haven't yet but it is on my list of things to do of things to watch yeah like I and every episode that comes out people are like did you see what happened Jax did this Kristen said that like it's making waves do you want to know why I like we have gotten to a place where people who go on reality tv reality tv feels so

manufactured people like really go on to get famous and they there's like a formula and they just want to like be influencers like it's really I feel like reality tv used to be so good before we knew the landscape and these people just had nothing to fucking lose and they just like yeah no now everyone plays it's so safe they don't want to get in trouble they don't want to deal with backlash they want to be brand safe and that'll get you to a place but it's not going to create the next jersey shore no and I feel like this cast of people like especially the newer people like I feel and I don't even watch a show but the vibe I get is like desperation and that's that makes good tv like if you want to just throw drinks and lose your mind like that is season one Vanderpump Rules energy these kids had nothing to

fucking lose no I feel like when I watched the first episode like something about it was giving like Real Housewives of Orange County season one like original reality in a good way and a bad way in that sense of like we're putting it all out there we want this show to work and then also in a little bit of a this is a crazy way but I think that that as as Stassi said like the chaos will carry you through. Yeah no and I feel like these people don't give a flying fuck. Yeah no and that's something that's needed. Yeah no I think this has the makings of perhaps, like, being a major, major franchise in the Bravo universe. That is so funny.

And I never thought I would say that, because when they announced the show, I was like, okay, who are these people? Wait, and do you know, oh, I forget her name. There's one mom, a couple on the show, who have twin girls who play baby Cece on Young Sheldon. I did know that. Thank you so much for bringing that up. Thank you so much for bringing that up.

Thank you so much for bringing that up. I saw somebody sent me like a real like day of life. Day of life of my baby Cece's going to Young Sheldon last day on set. And I just want to say, I feel like we've always like, whenever I see like an actual newborn or like a really young kid on TV, I'm like, who the fuck would seriously like pimp their kid out like that? And the fact that it's someone on the Valley is exactly why the Valley will be successful. Yeah.

Like I said, that desperation. Yeah. No, that's the kind of crossover that we need. Like baby Cece's on the Valley. And I'm so glad you brought up young Sheldon because I have been keeping up. It's the final season. It is so good. I feel like they heard me.

Like we, the way Sheldon is not in one minute of the show, he's horrible. Like, he's just, like, an awful character. He's going through, like, a weird, you know, puberty period. Like, it's not the Sheldon show anymore. And at the beginning, like, give me nobody but Sheldon. And now that he's sort of grown up, he doesn't have that same sort of, like, charm. And they made us love the other characters so much. Georgie, George Sr., Georgie, the grandma.

It's really about them now and I just love it and I just want to say thank you. Great. Are you ready for the final story? I am. It's a little real estate news. Oh, okay. Sonia Morgan prepares to auction her New York City townhouse

seen in Real Housewives of New York. Sonia Morgan is bidding farewell to her famous New York City townhouse seen in real house eyes of new york sonia morgan is bidding farewell to her famous new york city townhouse at last the 4 650 square foot house features four bedrooms five full bathrooms two half bathrooms lovely outdoor seating in a 35 foot garden as well as a secret elevator the auction will run from may 15th to may 29th the five-story home is currently listed at 7.5 million dollars starting bids are expected to come in between $1.75 million and $3.75 million. Okay I want to say this is like the girl who cried sale. You know I don't feel like this will really ever sell. I don't know why it seems impossible to me and if the day ever

does come where like it is sold like it will be crazy. Like I will be genuinely shocked. But I do often wonder if the cultural impact and the history in terms of Bravo of this townhouse hurts or hinder like hurts or helps the sale. So I think it hurts the sale in the sense that a buyer of this caliber is not really interested in the PR aspect and seeing the house on the show it looks like a dump like even if anyone who had the money to buy this townhouse like it's kind of a gut reno like you see all the leaks you see everything wrong with it you see like when the baseboards are coming off and I think a lot of times sellers will try and hide stuff like that but there's no hiding this and so I think overall it's hurt the sale that's interesting I wasn't asking in

that sense because I do feel like if you're spending x amount of money like you're always going to completely gut renovate anything that you that you purchase I mean like the fact that like people know it from the outside and stop on the street like I don't think that's something someone wants I don't think it gets that much foot traffic like people don't know what street it's on like you have to really be a New Yorker to recognize it it's on like a side street I feel like I have an idea of where it is but I don't feel like it's a stop on the rail houses of New York City and also again a buyer at this level like doesn't want any of that if there is some of that so again that doesn't help the price either I think to buy like a multi-million dollar townhouse because you saw it on reality TV like if that's a driving factor for you is incredibly weird and it's like if you're

choosing between two townhouses it's not in the plus column the fact that it it's from Real Housewives. That's what I think too. I think somebody who's buying a townhouse on the Upper East Side is a very specific type of person. It's probably like a wealthy family and they're not wanting that type of attention. They don't want people like taking pictures of the outside. I think her status and the status of the home really hinder. And I think it's a lot of the reason why there's no reason that a house like that shouldn't have sold like a classic townhouse on the Upper East Side. It's like there aren't even so many of like it's it's amazing.

Well, I think also she's always priced it really high because it has so much. She's so attached to it and has a lot of meaning to her. I think it's also emblematic of the state of real estate in New York. And then also she said she was renting her the townhouse too. And every time she would book a renter, she would have to take it off the market. So it's not like it's been on the market all of these years. It's been on and off. The house has a myriad of issues.

The design in the pictures, it looks nice, but we've seen it's been on and off the house has a myriad of issues the design in the pictures it looks nice but we've seen it up close on the show and it's older so it is kind of like a complete gut reno I don't know what basically the lot of land goes for at this point it's literally gray gardens yeah and I so badly want Sonia to win I know this money would like change her life and I know she's very attached to it because it like represents her former life. I want this house to sell. Right.

And at this point, I think in the beginning, it's like, how do you give up a $10 million townhouse? That's like what she got in her divorce. Maybe other things too, but like that's a major asset. At this point, it's just weighing her down and she needs to release it. Her daughter has grown. It will be money it her daughter has grown it will be money in her pocket but it will sell now because if the starting bid is 1.75 million dollars reality show

or not even just to buy it and tear it down that's an amazing deal I want to know what townhouses in the city go for how many bedrooms is it I think I said five bedrooms um four bedrooms five bathrooms okay I mean this one's 65 million dollars but like in that area honestly like she's not so off base with the seven million but look at the insides are they new yes okay but so this one's like new it's a five bedroom eight bathroom townhouse and a couple blocks away totally renovated 13 million okay like let me I want to see one that's like okay this one is five bedrooms five bathrooms 75th street 10 million new on the inside yeah but not like the most new thing you've ever seen in your

life okay yeah it's interesting townhomes are expensive she definitely she has she like has something there but it's tough to know what it is yeah and I think it's a little bit less than what she thinks and what the house is worth to her, of course. To her, like the fact that, you know, the son of JP Morgan used to live there, that should add value to it. I think she does think her celebrity adds value to it. I think if you really take a critical look at it,

like it actually hurts. Yeah, but it will sell. If it's really going to auction, like someone, they're giving it away, essentially. Yeah, it's not like, you know, Elizabeth Taylor lived there. It's a different type of celebrity which very wealthy people are you know kind of put their noses up at yeah I yeah I think in general like it's a cool fact when someone has lived in a house but I don't think it increases the value by that much unless it's someone like Elizabeth Taylor but any there's so many celebrities like okay just Bieber lived

here cool he lived there too and there yeah you know right but I feel like people always like say that like so-and-so lived here groovy cool cool is that extra square footage I don't think so I don't think so um I thought the fast five like were amazing actually. You would never know how I struggled. You would never know but now we do because we're so authentic and transparent. To a fault

and that's something we should work on. Closing ourselves up a little bit. And yeah just being like a little more of showman. It's what P.T. Barnum would want.
