Good morning, Millennials!
Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday.
Hope everybody's having a great day thus far.
Hey, Jax, how you doing?
I'm doing good. Happy Thursday, latter half of the week.
Gorgeous tings, gorgeous tings.
Oh my god!
Gorgeous tings, gorgeous tings.
I can't go cross-eyed, but if I could, now would be the time.
One of my absolute favorite things on the planet to do
is to like go cross-eyed. I think it's one of my greatest talents. I've recently started
incorporating it into my comedy. It's pure comedy. It's pure comedy. And as a kid, like I was told
a thousand times, you're going to get stuck that way. So I used to be really afraid to do it. And
then a few years ago, I was like, wait, I'm not going to get stuck that way. Like, what if I just,
afraid to do it. Then a few years ago I was like wait I'm not going to get stuck that way. Like what if
I just
you know? Yeah. I love it.
No I'm jealous that
you have the ability. And I'm not one of those people who has to like
do you know with the finger. I can not
I'm natural. I'm organic.
It's literally part of your
comedic routine. It's like adding a curse
word to a joke
like it just gives it a little punch.
It gives it extra oomph yeah so that's
like another thing you should we should add that to your list because we're always like what are
your talents or what are my talents like obviously you have the singing I can go cross-eyed natural
charisma comedy she can go cross-eyed yeah no I adds a little spice you know yeah how are you
I'm good gorgeous tings gorgeous tings gorgeous
tings gorgeous tings gorgeous tings how are you how is do how is our holistic king of acupuncture
yes Theo took a trip east yesterday actually we went south it was downtown um and it was good he
got his first acupuncture session he responded very well to it she was like
wow I wish all my patients were like this he was so chill very zen he is zen he is zen embodied
embodied yeah what's your function?
He did really well.
She said, you know, it's a journey.
You know, sometimes there are miracles.
You know, he walks out of here perfect.
But, you know, most of the time it takes a couple of sessions.
And so we're going to do that once a week.
You know, radiation in the beginning of the weeks, acupuncture a few days later.
Seeing if one of these Eastern or Western remedies are going to, you know, help my boy,
hopefully.
It's East versus West, sharks versus jets.
And the thing is, I would love to, you know, have this, you know, one of them work and
we can definitively say which one it is and then we can finally put to bed, you know,
is it East versus West that really works?
But we won't know which one worked.
We're just hoping one of them.
But perhaps if it does work, Baruch Hashemem it would be a fusion of east and west you know finally it's
not about the competition it's about the coming together it would be north it would be south
it would be central south central east west north south too no yeah snooze Central. East, west, north. South too.
No?
Yeah.
Snoo.
News.
Or snoo.
Really?
S-N-E-N?
Yeah, snoo.
Yeah.
Wens?
Just a little compass fun for you today.
Let's talk about the compass app.
Let's talk about the compass in general as an invention.
Compass or compass?
Depends who you are.
It's compass.
It's personal.
Potato, potato.
Because you just said both in one sentence.
I did?
Yeah.
You said compass and then compass.
I guess it just depends on where in the sentence it falls.
Am I feeling like enunciating in this part of the sentence or not?
Like with the
word d-a-t-a I don't have a preferred enunciation pronunciation it's just like I could use it twice
in the same day and use it totally differently data or data like that's how I feel it's not a
preference compass compass compass yeah what were you going to say about the compass as a an invention
the compass greater than it is such an incredible invention. I think it was one
of those inventions that really changed the world. Industrialized. You know, one large leap for
mankind, one small device for man. It's really a marvel. I know now we just like look at the app
on our phone or our car tells us which way we're facing, but I think we take it for granted.
Yeah. I mean, honestly, like I use directions directions I feel like most people are like who needs a compass um north south
like it's not a big part of their every day but in the city actually it is it is because there's
east side west side uptown downtown which is north south east and west and when I'm in the city I
actually at all times really do know which way
is north, which way is south, which way is east, and which way is west, which I feel like kind of
cool about. Yeah. And if you don't, you get out your compass and then you know exactly where you
are. Yeah. Like I love to, you know, be in a taxi and be like, you know, it'll be southeast corner.
Oh yeah. I am Lewis and Clark navigational clean. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. Like when I pull those words
out, that's like a, like your driver will know you're like a, you're a New Yorker. Yeah. Yeah. Like I think somebody,
you know, lesser than me would say, oh, the far right corner. But I would know that that far right
corner is actually the Southwest corner, depending on where I'm coming from. Yeah. And also it's the
far right corner from the angle you're coming at it from, but it's the Southwest corner universally.
So Lewis and Clark had nothing on Jackson Turd.
Jackson Turd are the modern day Lewis and Clark.
Trailblazing queens.
I would also say Jackson Turd are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde.
I would say so too.
But we have a reverence for the Lala Turd.
It's true.
It's true.
I was just trying to think of iconic duos.
Except for stealing the records from Yale about the three identical strangers.
Once we do steal those sealed records from Yale,
we will be the modern day version of Bonnie and Clyde.
But we won't be driving away in a convertible.
We will be driving away in a pickup truck.
Okay.
That's so us.
Or a Tesla.
Or whatever we can get our hands on at the rent-a-center, you know?
Yeah, well, I heard that you can rent a Tesla at Hertz now.
Is that true?
Yeah, if you've been wanting to try out the experience.
It's actually a perfect thing to do when you're on vacation.
Like, try a new car.
Let me tell you how one of my favorite things is renting a car.
Like, the actual journey of getting off the plane,
walking to the rental, waiting in line is torture.
When you get the keys and you're like,
sometimes they let you choose from a whole section of
cars and you just get to try out different cars that you're never going to really have
in your own life.
Like it's very exciting.
Yeah.
I feel like most of the times I've done rental cars, obviously I haven't rented a car myself,
but you know, with Zach or with you always.
And wait, Jackie, why haven't you rented a car yourself?
Because I've never had my license at a time when I rented a car.
Yeah. And also,
it's just like girls don't rent cars. That's like a thing for the husbands. That's like such a husband job to handle the rental car. We used to rent a car once in a while and we flushed the
keys down the toilet. And now the Jaguar is still sitting in Connecticut and you're never going to
be able to buy a home with your credit. Oh, man, I totally forgot that moment. I don't know how we
could talk about car rental without talking about the extremely hasty
flush. And yes, I do often think about that car sitting in that rest stop in Connecticut. And I
also do get a pit every time I get like an Experian email, like a change in your credit.
You know, usually it's like your credit limit. Coming back to haunt you. Usually it's like
little things like, you know, your credit limit increased or you spend more this month and you
didn't pay it down. Right, right, right. But but one day it's just gonna say there's been a change in your
credit jaguar yeah and if you don't know what we're talking about it's such a long amazing story
and there's a whole episode on it the episode is called the extremely hasty flush and you absolutely
need to listen to it it's a cautionary tale for all drivers out there rental car owners and people who go to rest stops and if
you're not going to listen here's the lesson do not put your rental car keys in your bra when going
to take a piss at a rest stop especially a rest stop that has automatic flushes okay so we'll
leave you with that yeah where were we you could rent a hertz i mean You could rent a Hertz.
I mean, you could rent a Tesla.
You could rent a Tesla when we're driving away with the records because we're the modern day Body and Clyde, Louis C. Clark.
Compass.
Compass.
We needed to center ourselves, Dirty.
Wait.
I wanted to say a few things from yesterday's episode
because a lot of people had very good responses
to some of the things we had said.
The first thing when we
were talking about Mark Cuban there's a lot of conspiracy theories now about Mark Cuban a lot
of people think he might be running for office okay um good luck with that Kenzie Elizabeth
actually texted me because she's like a Dallas girl and she listens to the toast
is it about the pharmaceutical company yes so he talks about it on Shark Tank a lot but his most
recent project I think is but his most recent project,
I think is like his biggest passion project
where it's like a website to get people medications
for like any and all diseases, ailments
at like the cheapest possible rate.
And he's like a really passionate about it.
Like, you know, $16 for cancer drugs
that would normally cost $2,000.
So it's very expensive.
Apparently he's like very, very invested in it,
obviously financially, but also like emotionally.
And maybe he like wanted to cash out to put that money towards this particular project
okay um but then there was like another conspiracy theory I saw going around on TikTok that you know
Dallas is like a big sports town but they don't have any infrastructure yet for sports gambling
and casinos and I think there's like a bunch of very wealthy people trying to get that initiative
off the ground and he might have sold to put money towards that
because that's going to be like a billion,
multi-billion dollar journey.
And interesting also is that the Adelson family
like does casinos and resorts.
Yes, they are the Sands, right.
So maybe like their part in this has to do with that too.
Yeah, and then I also heard that this Adelson fan
had to cash out 2 billion of their shares from Sands to pay for the too. Yeah. And then I also heard that this Adelson fan had to cash out
two billion of their shares
from Sands
to pay for the Mavs.
Right.
So maybe they're just like
moving
their business down to Dallas.
So it was a nice idea
that he wanted to,
you know,
spend time with his family.
But I do think
there's like a business thing
going on.
I don't think he's running for office I don't think so either I think the
pharmaceutical thing makes sense I hope he has success with it someone needs to overhaul the
pharmaceutical system in this country like it makes no sense no it's a disgrace it's a disgrace
like these are life-saving medications like every like all medication it's helping someone like
what is why is it like this
no it's an absolute disgrace and I agree if anyone can do it I think it could be Mark Cuban
yeah I think so too good luck with that yeah we truly wish you well if you need to take a step
back and ruin one of our favorite shows then for this it's okay but thankfully it's an ensemble
show and it is my personal belief that the show won't be ruined without Mark me neither the show
will go on the other thing I wanted to talk about,
somebody made such an excellent point when we,
I didn't know if people were going to agree with us
or the sentiment of the weekend being an industry plant
was going to resonate with people.
But it was just like this feeling that I had
and then you felt it.
And I guess a lot of people felt it too.
And somebody offered a really good explanation
for why he feels like an industry plant.
And they basically just said like,
who goes to listen to the weekend?
It's mostly just straight men who don't really participate or contribute to, like, stan culture.
So they don't have, you know, Twitter accounts tracking all of the weekends, charting and everything.
They don't have fan accounts.
They just listen and move on with their lives.
And, you know, that is powerful.
And obviously there's enough people who do that.
But the reason why we're not seeing that sort of reception and why it feels like a plant
is because they're not putting that energy out there.
They don't participate in like fan culture, straight men.
They just enjoy.
Okay, I agree with you,
except about the fact that straight men
don't participate in fan culture, the NFL.
Yeah, sports.
Nobody is more of a fangirly than those guys.
Like every weekend, getting dressed up in costume,
painting their faces, having a party like
nuts oh my god okay there's NFL drama did you hear about this it's so crazy yes it's the craziest
thing okay let me tell you so Deadspin which is like this website it's publication sports yeah
so they published an article about this little kid who was at the Chiefs game last weekend who
was apparently wearing blackface and because they at the Chiefs game last weekend who was apparently wearing blackface.
And because they're the Chiefs, which is like Native American, he was wearing a big Native
American headdress.
So they had a picture of the kid from the side.
You saw his whole, he must have been eight years old.
He's nine.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
His whole big headdress and then his face is completely black.
And so, of course, they like roasted this child to filth.
And it has come out recently. I mean, it has come out recently I mean it has come
out since that article came out they were using like a photo of the kid where you only saw the
side of his face and if you saw him head-on he had half red half black which are the chief's colors
which is not blackface and this kid is Native American right his grandfather was actually like
a really major like leader in the chumash tribe and
if he wants to wear a native american headdress like he absolutely can do that i just don't know
why in the first place like deadspin was going after an eight-year-old what has the world come
to no it's so sick that story is literally an accurate representation of the media like they
think they slayed let's you know skewer this eight-year-old he's doing bad and then it's actually
not the whole picture literally literally and it's like I'm sure none of the people who worked
on that article have any ties to Native Americans actually give a shit about him wearing the head
dress but it's like actually he does no it was such a crazy turn of events I was like following
the whole thing on TikTok um yeah context isext is key. Context is key. And then speaking of cancellations,
I'm sure you have it as a story, Gary. No, I don't because I'm like kind of avoiding all Gary
tings. Yeah, me too, because we're trying, we're saving the golden bachelor for our family trip.
Well, by the way, as predicted. Hold on. I just, I'm pretty sure I need to correct this. I'm pretty
sure it's pronounced Jerry, but the reason why we're confused is because we thought it should be j-e-r-r-y like
no Jackie it's Gary no no Claudia no I remember when this happened like we did a reel about the
golden bachelor and we were like and it's Jerry and then the issue was we spelled it wrong in our
reel it's supposed to be g-e-r-r-y oh so people were saying it's spelled jerry not pronounced gary yeah but we were confused because it's like okay if it's but if
it's with the g then it's gary jackie i just want to say and i don't want to go looking for clips
because you're right like we'll end up spoiling it for ourselves i'm 95 sure it's gary both spelled
and pronounced i think it's spelled gary pronounced jerry. Well, Gary Jerry has been canceled.
We literally said like a year ago that he was going to get canceled.
And I like we were joking, but it's so absurd because it actually did happen.
You know, apparently all alleged, you know, his ex-wife who is dead.
He said he wanted her to lose 10 pounds and she couldn't come to his high school reunion
unless she lost the 10 pounds.
And he started, you know, a new relationship one month after she died like
okay and whose fucking business is that and who so what if he started dating someone a month after
how do we know he told his ex-wife to lose 10 pounds because she came back from the dead and
told the new york post like i don't know for real no i didn't read the article i only read the
headlines because i don't want to spoil it but like i can't believe we're trying to cancel this geriatric this
geriatric literally he likes a svelte woman no but like okay you're kidding me right like this is so
absurd first of all i'm gonna need proof and second of all yeah i'm going to need proof. And second of all, I'm just, I don't know.
I'm just not canceling the oldest man on the planet.
I'm just not.
I'm not canceling the golden bachelor.
No, I can't.
I can't.
It's actually satire.
There are so many cancel worthy things happening right now and very few cancellations.
So Gary. I'm not going to waste my breath on Gary my breath on gary make my list of 1000 no it's so true like let the man be fat phobic in peace okay
but it's also hasn't been proven that he's even fat phobic let the man be allegedly fat phobic
in peace no it's so true like how do we know that these conversations took place when one of the people is dead and the other is gary he's not going to tell me your post but i did see a
headline i didn't click on it but now that you're mentioning it that he told it was an ex-girlfriend
that he told to lose 10 pounds and she might be living but i didn't that's my putting too well
she sounds like a scorned lover for For sure. You can't take her seriously.
Okay, the Hollywood Reporter.
The golden bachelors, not so golden past.
Okay, let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
By sharp contrast to the young cads with six-pack abs previous.
Okay, I don't need like their. Their editorialization and word count so that you can hit as many advertisers as possible.
Still grieving a widower.
Oh, Gary pronouncedower. Oh, Gary
pronounced Gary. Oh, it's like Gary. G-A-R-Y. It's pronounced G-A-I-R-Y. So you're adding a third
pronunciation to the mix. Hollywood Reporter is not me. Cried real tears during the opening episode
when he recounted the story of Tony, his beloved wife of 43 years, who tragically died of an
infection just one month after their move
to their dream retirement house
in Hudson, Indiana.
It was a dramatic backstory,
but our bachelor
was able to switch gears
and interact easily
with the attractive
and equally senior.
Okay, I don't want to see.
Hold on.
Let me just find.
Yeah.
You might have to go
to a different publication
that like doesn't take
itself so seriously
and just gives you the tea.
So he had told
Entertainment Tonight
that he hadn't dated in 45 years because he was married for 43 oh i was like okay that makes sense
despite despite the vetting the hollywood reporter has discovered several inconsistencies
no regarding both his work history oh yeah oh my god i read i saw this on tiktok they're literally
dragging him like for his LinkedIn.
Okay.
Regarding both his work history.
We did that yesterday to the poet.
Shut up.
They,
they found inconsistencies regarding both his work history and recent
romantic entanglements that contradict the received narrative.
Whether they never learned about these discrepancies abc or ignored them
to sell a buffed up shinier storyline for the greater impact producers presented an incomplete
and misleading image of turner which the bachelor helped perpetuate in personal remarks but it was
just a buffed up story to make him like i think they called him a restaurateur to accentuate his
impact no that's what they said listen it's it's show business baby a buffed up story to accentuate his impact no that's what they said listen it's it's show business baby
a buffed up story to accentuate his impact I can live with he's identified in chyrons throughout
the show as a retired restaurateur which is a fancy way to say he owns or owned a restaurant
with all of its attendant fun and glamour but according to his profile on linkedin
But according to his profile on LinkedIn, Gary last owned a restaurant in 1985 when he sold his Mr. Quick hamburger drive-in franchise in Iowa, where he'd worked his way up from high school.
Well, that's impressive.
Right.
After that, he held various sales and management positions in the meat business, again, per his LinkedIn resume, which does not list an end date for his employment.
This does not match up with the idea that was pushed on the show
that he retired at the young age of 55,
which would have been 2006.
Never mentioned are his years of pickup
post-retirement work,
like installing hot tubs at Gannon Pools
near Davenport, Iowa.
He then worked as a maintenance man.
This is so elitist.
He's canceled because he didn't disclose
he was installing hot tubs.
He then worked as a maintenance man at the Vera French Mental Health Center,
also in the Davenport area, as verified by his colleagues,
who spoke highly of him.
Hard working.
This is so entitled.
Yeah, of course.
First of all, he worked at a burger joint in high school.
Years later, he worked his way up to being the owner of that franchise,
sold it, and then did it rest on his laurels and got more jobs.
No job too big or too small for him.
This is a dream man.
Yeah, so I guess the Hollywood Reporter is upset
that maybe The Bachelor just kind of condensed the story.
He owned restaurants, he sold, and retired.
But okay, where's the crime?
So then he came to know a woman,
they're calling her Carolyn,
with whom he would go on to have
a nearly three-year relationship with, beginning innocently enough a month after his wife's
death.
Attractive and 14 years his junior, she was a staff accountant at the mental health center.
They dated for 10 months and then lived together for a year and nine months.
This account is drawn from interviews with Carolyn, who requested not to be named to
protect her privacy, as well as friends she confided in at the time, and text messages
with Gary, among other documents.
So wait, they dated for 10 months after after his wife died for 10 months and they
lived together for a year and nine months so almost two years they were only dating for 10
of those months no no the total they were together for three years 10 months dating not living
together a month a year and nine months living together so
three years almost okay but not three years because they met they knew each other for three
years but like they're that's intentionally misleading because they met a month after his
wife died but they didn't start dating until a few months later if you count all those months up
okay so they were in some sort of entanglement
for nearly three years.
Nearly three years,
but not starting a month
after the wife died.
No, they met.
Actually, it says
beginning innocently enough
a month after his wife's death.
Innocently means I met you at work
and I know you.
The fact that he started dating
is not unexpected.
He was single and a widower after all,
not cheating.
But his amorous activity
certainly didn't align
with how he regularly
yanked viewers' heartstrings with on-air announcement about his lack of a love life
since his wife died.
He later touchingly admitted to one pre-show kiss on the bachelor happy hour
podcast.
Okay.
So they're coming for him because he was with this girl for three years,
but he said on the show,
like he hasn't known true love.
It seems like it was just a situation ship and she's getting caught up.
No,
like she thought it was more than it was.
So this relationship with Carolyn is not the only relationship
the Golden Bachelor and Jerry producers failed to mention.
This fall, a reporter from the U.S. Sun reached out to Heather,
a waitress at the Shady Nook, a bar and restaurant located on the lake
in Hudson, Indiana, next door to Gary's new lake house,
so close that he'd essentially made it his bachelor clubhouse.
Why did the son reach out to Heather?
Right.
Heather, who no longer works there.
Considered Gary her friend.
She told the reporter that in the past six years.
He dated a couple of women.
They weren't all long term.
But they weren't short term either.
He was with a couple of women for a decent amount of time.
But it just didn't work out.
Well what's a decent amount of time?
Uh three.
Okay so let's say he dated a couple. So the fact that they didn't include it on the show makes all these people
like liars it's tv no but these articles are intentionally vague not for a long time not for
a short time everybody has a different idea of what a decent amount of time for a relationship
is like also he said he hasn't had love since his wife passed so okay he didn't love these women
sorry girls like no and a lot of people at that age
just date for companionship.
This is so sick.
Wait.
Carolyn, the first girl for three years,
didn't want the years of her life
as the Golden Bachelor's girlfriend
to become a national news fodder,
but neither did she want to be the invisible woman
whispered about in Davenport
as the gullible gal Gary dumped,
duped and then dumped.
So Susan McCreary, who's a
close friend of Carolyn. It's giving Karen McCluskey is what it's giving. I just can't believe this
happened to my girlfriend, she said. When Caroline and Gary first started dating in September 2017,
my husband and I took them to an Iowa Hawkeyes football game. I thought, this guy's legit.
This guy's a really good guy for her.
McCreary recalled watching the show and hearing Gary say that line about not having been kissed for six years. And I'm like, what? He's got to know that people are paying attention to the show.
I'm just flabbergasted. At first, Carolyn tried to laugh it off, but then The Golden Bachelor
became a ratings bonanza. The show was suddenly the talk of pop culture, considered a breakthrough
for its positive portrayal of sexually active seniors. And it bothered Carolyn that her ex was foisting
lines and moving on to the bachelorettes that he had used to seduce her. I just want to say
she was surprised that the show was a success. It's The Bachelor. So he had texted Carolyn on
September 2nd, 2017, less than three months. Now they're saying three months after Tony's death,
his wife.
He says, damn, I go to bed at night thinking of you and wake up in the morning thinking
of you.
That's so sweet.
That's literally so sweet.
So because he sent that text, he's not allowed to break up with her?
No, it's insane.
I guess the one lie I'm really detecting is he said he hadn't been kissed in six years
and there were kisses that happened.
Okay, has anybody watched the show Unreal?
Do you know how much bachelor producers manipulate everything?
There's other women in here.
I'm not in the mood to read this entire article.
I just honestly grown women would not be acting this way.
Like I expect it when like,
yeah.
Jed's ex girl,
like girlfriend is actually his girlfriend and she comes forward.
I was his girlfriend.
He's on the show.
But like Karen McCluskey's in her fifties and like,
you really want to drag Gary now
the man's like just trying to find love and set like a a nice uh realistic expectation for seniors
in love no it's so absurdly stupid I can't get over it that's and honestly the Hollywood reporters
should be ashamed of themselves everyone should be ashamed and it's like they dug this deep and
this was the worst that they came
up with Gary's probably an amazing guy I agree I hope Gary just lets this roll off his back
I don't know the it's it's hard actually but he's when you're new he's old hopefully he's wise and
he knows it doesn't matter and he can ignore the noise insane we stand with you Gary yeah that's
crazy is it really like actually canceling him
or it's just like they're trying to. I don't think anybody cares. Like it's hard to cancel
someone who's 60 and like probably just made an Instagram and a Twitter like he's like, OK,
so I'll leave. Yeah. Oh, OK. I'll just not post. Yeah. And as stated, he has plenty of jobs and
skills and he doesn't need the internet.
No, that, like, work thing really bothered me.
Yeah.
Like, it was very judgmental and elitist.
Like, he installed hot tubs.
And?
And what?
And what about it?
No, I guess the point, just to be, you know, devil's advocate,
it's like, he said he retired at 55, but he's still working.
These people are disgusting.
Like, seriously. We're clowning on someone for, you know, living the are disgusting. Like seriously.
We're clowning on someone for you know living the American dream.
Jealous.
And it's like why are you digging it on Gary?
Why?
Yeah.
What did he do to you?
It's bad faith.
Bad faith actors.
One thousand percent.
Being badly faithful to their bad faith.
And acting while doing it.
In the farriest manner.
So dumb.
So dumb.
Well, I'm glad that we parsed through that
and I can go into the holiday watching Golden Bachelor
feeling proud of my support for Gary and his hot tub.
Dreams.
Traits.
His hot tub dreams.
His hot tub dreams.
And I'm sure there's going to be some hot tubs on the show.
And I just have to say, like Gary alone leave Gary alone this is why we can't have nice things
seriously so true actually try to do something nice and pure and they distilled his story down
to something you know just that palatable fairy tale we don't have all the time in the world on
television no that's the point of The Bachelor it's like everyone who's a lead is a loser
and they try and make them look cool and successful.
Like that's the whole premise of the show.
Literally.
Like they have to make it so that like
he's desirable for 25 women.
Right.
It's a show.
Like get a grip.
It's show business, baby.
Should we dive in?
If you can't handle it, don't watch.
Yes, I think we shall dive in because that was like a sixth man story.
Yeah.

Our first story, and that will surprise no one.
Kourtney Kardashian ingests her juicy placenta after her son Rocky's birth.
I could have told you this.
Kourtney posted on her Instagram her mommy made encapsulation placenta pills,
which was her juicy placenta.
And she talked about a lot of the benefits of eating your placenta.
And I would like to discuss with my sister, Laturd,
our thoughts on this.
So here are some of the benefits, she said,
that people report.
Higher energy levels, lesser chance of baby blues,
lesser chance of postpartum depression,
balanced mood and hormones,
increased milk supply, tempting.
Enhanced bonding experience with baby, higher iron levels,
reduced postnatal bleeding, uterus returning back to pre-pregnancy size faster, losing the baby weight faster, tempting, and overall faster and better recovery from having the baby. So it was
not an ad she just wanted to share. I mean, if anybody on the planet is going to eat their
placenta, like it is going to be Kourtney Kardashian. So this is, it would be more
surprising if she wasn't doing this. Cause a lot of people, even like
non super crunchy people do it. Um, and I just want to get your thoughts. Like,
do you think that you would be eating your placenta? Honestly, I'm not entirely against
it. Like I have known that people do this for a while. And when I first heard it,
I knew that people did it primarily to combat, combat postpartum depression. So like anything
you can do
sure but I have also heard and I'm sure Courtney got like the best of the best but a lot of these
companies that did she do a capsule yes put it in like a pill like a lot of the times that process
strips your placenta of all its nutrients by the time you get it in that capsule interesting I've
also read on the contrary side that like the function of the
placenta is kind of to like filter out like toxic things in your body, like so that they don't make
its way to the baby because it's like the conduit between you and your baby. So it's kind of like
all the things that your baby didn't get for a reason. Oh, that's interesting for sure. Like if
there if there was like a definitive answer
like yes it's good for you at bad it's not for you like I would do it yeah you wouldn't be icked
out no I'm not gonna sit down with a fork and a knife and start cutting it like that is I feel
like if you want to eat your placenta like you actually have to take a bite out of it like
these pills I know people do it in like a shake where like they'll literally put chunks of placenta with like chunks it's not
pills and like no no no like like more raw okay because i feel like if you're gonna do it you
gotta go raw yeah i want a fork and knife it's literally that scene in game of thrones where
daenerys like eats that heart yeah yeah and this reminds me of the episode of the Kardashians
where they pranked everyone into thinking that they ate a placenta.
Yeah, I'm actually surprised that Kourtney pills hers
and doesn't just like go straight from the source.
Right.
But I have to imagine like she's so health girly.
She probably did extensive research.
Yeah, I think also the thing with this,
it's like it could have all these benefits
if it does what you think it's going to do.
Or worst case scenario, like it doesn't do do much but it might make you feel better it meant it's like a placebo placenta like really what yeah it's a placebo for sure unless it's like
the downside is the thing that you might you just said right but that's not proven either like
there's not too much actual information it's you know what Courtney said is some of the benefits people report that's not like proven benefits just like how I feel I'm not against it like it's obviously
sounds crazy and gross but like it kind of makes sense yeah yeah I wonder if they ate their
placentas back in the day like when did this start and where did we get the idea I guess other
animals I think we're the only mammals that don't eat their placentas naturally.
Oh.
So we're just like copying like our mammal friends.
Mammals.
It's good enough for the mammals.
It's good enough for me.
Right?
I mean, we're all one in the same.
Yeah, I'm not entirely against this.
And I think a lot of people like probably would assume that I would be and like drag people because it's like gross.
But no, whatever the mamas need to do to be OK.
Like, I don't care.
Yes.
Placentophagia.
That's I guess what it's called.
Is a behavior present in almost all female terrestrial eutherian mammals.
More than 4000 species consisting of the ingestion of the placenta.
The more you know.
But then three articles down. No, you shouldn't eat your placenta. The more you know. But then three articles down,
no, you shouldn't eat your placenta.
Here's why.
Well, I don't know.
These are the same people
who are writing about Gary from Indiana.
So I don't know who to trust anymore.
I don't know.
Is eating the placenta beneficial?
To date, there's no evidence
from human studies to support these claims.
You could say that about anything.
I know. It's a personal
preference. It's a personal preference.
Kim ate her placenta too.
Oh.
I wouldn't say that for her. Right.
The placenta
is just kind of this
transcends everything.
Yeah, it does.
And it's more personal than comedy, more personal than food.
Did you have to push out your placenta or it was just like.
Yeah, it's like.
It came out.
Well, no, no, you have to.
The doctor has to take it out and either they press down on your belly.
I wasn't paying attention.
It's nothing compared to giving birth.
Like, yeah, they can really like press it out or maybe you give like one more push, but nothing of note. Interesting. And then it's gone. Oh, compared. Like, yeah, they can really, like, press it out, or maybe you give, like, one more push, but nothing of note.
Interesting.
And then it's gone.
It's big.
Really?
Like the size of the baby?
Yeah.
Maybe, like, in width, yeah.
It's, like, a nice big.
Big what?
Like a piece of meat?
Honestly, like when we did the brisket.
When we cooked the brisket.
That looked like. Why'd you have to ruin the brisket for me we cooked the brisket. That looks like.
Why'd you have to ruin the brisket for me?
That looks like a placenta.
Wow.
And then what do they do with it
if you don't want it?
They send it for testing.
Oh.
Pretty sure.
I wonder if they do that.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
they do that for everyone.
They send it for testing.
But if you want to eat it,
you have to wait for the testing?
I think you can fill out a form to get it back i don't know there's a way to retrieve a lot of paperwork
honestly yeah of course yeah and then you have to get it to the place and it's like is it on ice
the whole time right that's what i was saying about the capsules like by the time you actually
get it into powder capsules what's point? What happens to your placenta?
Actually, this conversation is making me like a little nauseous.
Really?
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
No, like.
You can discard it, in which case your hospital or birthing center will take care of it.
That's kind of sad.
You could take your placenta home.
And in some places, people bury their placenta it's so fascinating beyond the placenta is more personal than comedy more personal than food
that's true that's true so glad Courtney's eating hers me too I'll make you placenta
pills as your push present thanks I'd prefer like a diamond necklace, but go off.
A placenta necklace. Ew. Our next story, Kristen Cavallari reveals the hottest guy she's ever
hooked up with. Do you want to take a guess before I share with you? Jay Cutler. No, that would be so
nice if she said that. Tyler Cameron. Tyler don't think they hooked up oh yeah she said tyler cameron and
believe it or not you guys i know this is really freaking hard to believe he's hotter in person
she said it's insane so yeah what do people mean these days when they say hook up so they mean fuck
okay i don't think so they're kind of they never had a relationship he was in her campaign for on
she used him and paid him for publicity right but they
did like kiss in the ad so yeah maybe that was the hookup but then also like there was like a video
of them like dancing sexily at a party so I don't know if they like hooked up offline but she has
maintained that they never like had any sort of relationship. Yeah, no, that was clear.
No, like Tyler Cameron is the hottest man alive and he's literally could not be a nicer person
and is so lovely and it makes him hotter.
Yeah, he should be people's sexiest man alive
because like that's really what he is.
He's actually.
By definition.
Sexy, yeah, that's actually an amazing point. He really should be people's actually. By definition. Sexy. Yeah. That's actually an amazing point.
He really should be people's.
Yeah.
Magazine.
What?
No, nothing.
Oh, actually, this just reminded me.
I went out to dinner last night and there was a man in the restaurant who was so beautiful.
Like it was shocking.
My age.
Like nothing.
Like maybe a little bit older. How would you feel if your father was dating. My age, like nothing, like maybe a little bit older.
How would you feel if your father was dating someone your age?
And he was wearing this just like, you know, beige cashmere sweater.
He was just so well dressed, well coiffed.
He had this like beautiful blonde hair.
And like, honestly, like everyone in the restaurant was looking at him.
He was, he was otherworldly.
Like he was so beautiful.
Where did you go to dinner?
I, when I decided I wanted to share this story on the toast as I walked to work this morning,
I knew you were going to ask me that.
And I think I should not say because, like, his sister's probably a toaster.
Like, I don't need that sort of.
Oh, the man.
But I didn't know you went to dinner last night.
Yeah.
We literally spoke on the phone.
And I said I just got back from dinner.
I didn't hear that.
Who did you go to dinner with
my friends from college your friends from college aren't those your friends from high school
well something shady about this dinner law oh no no no I was I actually don't know how to describe
him because they went with Abe who's my best friend from like high school but then also Margo
Fish who's my friend from college but me Abe and Margo became like a threesome in college.
So I think describing them as my friends from college is accurate.
Okay, technically, but then also Margo Fish
became a part of your high school group of friends.
Like when you get together with your high school friends, she's there.
She's there, but I know Margo from college.
That was so crazy.
Yeah.
Oh, there's another conspiracy kind of going around in the
toast um. I don't know if you've seen. What did I do now? I don't know if you've seen it because it has to do with me
but you cut me off the other day when I was about to say a story of something that happened in
college. I like. Oh yeah. I started to say it twice and I got cut off by times and then I just like
gave up. And what was the story? Everyone wants to know the story.
OK.
You said a conspiracy theory about me.
No.
No, I said about me.
Oh, OK.
I said about like the toes.
There's like.
OK, OK.
People like were petitioning to hear the story.
It's like not a great.
Is this when you fell off your bike?
No, no, no.
We were talking about brainy quotes.
You falling off your bike is the best story when you fell. Sorry. Sorry. She Claudia
doesn't want to hear my brainy quotes college story. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But it's not
even that great of a story, which is kind of why I gave up trying to say it like it's really not
that great. But I feel like any story that starts with like in college one time you think is going
to be really great. But I'll just I'll let you know. So there was someone who wrote his paper
and I don't know where he left it somewhere.
And you know how sometimes you would start a paper with a quote?
Oh, it's like the laziest move ever.
Yeah.
It's like a really profound way to start a paper, like a quote that kind of encapsulates
what you're about to talk about, gets the reader inspired.
Albert Einstein once said.
Yeah.
No, or it's just like speak strong and carry a big stick yeah and then you get into
you know policy anyway so we found someone's paper in the top of the paper had a quote
and he had his uh citation when he went to the citation at the bottom it was brainyquotes.com
that's a story that's it was just an anecdote about brainy quotes yeah yeah yeah and like
is brainy quote a legitimate site source you can say well that's just like not where the
quote originated from right right and do you have to source a quote let me just tell you like
bibliography culture you don't have to source. Otherwise, you could just be making up quotes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was never into bibliographies.
No.
I'm into sourcing.
But I'm not into bibliography format.
No, yeah, I just wanted my bibliography to write,
like, trust me, you know?
Yeah, no, like, I just want to be able to, like, bullet points, like, here's where I was looking at,
you know, go find it for yourself.
Right.
Not, like, MLS, the quotations mls chicago quotations the commas the underlines so true why did we why
did we need to learn that i don't know but now it's like i kind of wish people were learning
big geographies instead of the poison they are learning you know yeah yeah let's go back to the mls let's go back to mlm
okay things were so simple when we were all just selling leggings let's go back to mlm
take me back some people are still there yeah good for them some people i love i love the
girlies on tiktok like who cannot be deterred. MLMs could not have a worse reputation.
I feel like these days, if you join an MLM,
there's enough information for you out there for you to be turned off to it.
And so if you're so resolute in your desire to sell makeup or whatever,
I have such respect for people just doing the opposite
of what everyone's telling them to do.
Agreed.
But then how do you feel about those people when it doesn't work out? Being like, I'm a victim. I'm a victim. Yeah. I don't know.
I haven't thought through my whole, I don't have like a fully thought out thesis. Like at this
point, if you open eyes, enter into an MLM, what happens next for better or for worse,
you are responsible for. Right. No, but that's also like now. If you were to literally just like walk by Scientology and go in,
how do you not know?
Right.
Right.
You're grown adults.
Take responsibility for the choices that you make,
especially when there's ample information out there.
That's all we can do as grown adults.
100%. Our next story christmas is heating up
by the way i watched a christmas tree lighting last night kelly hosted a two-hour live special
where she sang like five times finally she's getting to work at being our america sweetheart
it was incredible it was so well done first of all david foster and katherine mcfee saying
everybody just sang they're kind of the new faces of Christmas.
Don't at me.
They were.
She was spectacular.
She is.
Kiki Palmer.
Kiki Palmer sang.
What did she sing?
They all sound the same.
Jingle Bells, something like that.
No, Catherine McPhee did Jingle Bells.
And I don't remember what.
Maybe I'll Be Home for Christmas.
She was impeccable.
Liz Gillies and Seth MacFarlane did a duet.
Adorable.
They love Christmas as well.
The night ended with a duet of Cher and Darlene Love.
It was breathtaking.
Like it really was.
And then Kelly, of course, did a few of her originals.
And then they lit the tree.
It was stunning.
Beautiful.
You would never know.
You didn't see on TV, like, all the chaos that ensued at the tree lighting. No, no, that there were, like, people, yeah, animals came and, like,
tried to fuck shit up.
Yeah.
I mean, they did, but I guess it didn't make it to TV.
No, it didn't make it to TV.
And then after that was Christmas at Graceland, hosted by Lainey Wilson,
where they had Lana Del Rey, Kacey Musgraves, Lainey Wilson, where they had Lana Del Rey, Casey Musgraves,
Lainey Wilson, a bunch of people performing.
I fell asleep, but I do wish I recorded it.
It was really beautiful.
And they literally set up like little stages
inside of Graceland.
I'm sure it'll be on Hulu or whichever streamer
is affiliated with the network.
Peacock.
It was like a gorgeous night of programming at NBC.
They crushed it.
Wow, that's great.
Yeah.
Santa, can't you hear
me? Well now is
some Christmas programming
not NBC.
Lifetime has its first
ever Christmas movie with a sex scene.
Oh my god.
And guess who's starring in it?
Gretchen Wieners. No. But I feel like
you could guess. I don't think you will but if you
want it. If we sat here long enough I feel like you could guess. I don't think you will, but if we sat here long enough,
I feel like you could.
Okay, give me like three clues.
Okay, she is an actress.
I would hope so.
She's an influencer.
She's a podcaster.
Becca Tobin?
No, but that's a great guess.
She's a podcaster, influencer, and actress?
Yeah, actress first. Okay first okay and then but now
i would say oh i know janna kramer janna kramer stars in lifetime's first christmas movie with
a sex scene more like triple x miss janna kramer's upcoming lifetime movie a cowboy christmas romance
is the network's first movie with a sex scene so she was actually
pregnant while filming the movie oh wow and she said it's on her podcast she said it's the first
lifetime christmas movie that has a sex scene when i read it i was like well this is going to be
interesting i'm like how are we going to do this with a baby the movie portrays lexi crenshaw a
real estate closer who returns to her hometown of Tubac, Arizona,
to try to convince Kobe Mason, a horse-whipping rancher, to give up his family's land while also
reconsidering returning home to her roots. About the steamy scene, she said,
we're on this, spoiler alert, he lays me down on some hay and then we just and then we you know and then you
know obviously it's still Lifetime it's still family but it was pushing limits there too.
I do feel like Lifetime got so surpassed by Hallmark in the Christmas category that this
is an attempt to you know just do to one up the most yeah
but the thing is with these types of films
the whole point of them and why they're so different and weird and why people are drawn
to them is because they're like so conservative that like the formula is so bizarre but it weirdly
works it's just like these almost
like these like dumb made for tv movies that have so much heart and they like don't make a lot of
sense but they're really well done and I think this might complicate that formula well I think
Lifetime does need to find a way to differentiate himself because there is Lifetime Christmas
movies there's Hallmark there's Netflix like Hulu everyone's making Christmas movies they're all following the Hallmark template but I
I commend lifetime for literally stepping their pussy up and saying they did step their literal
we're gonna do Christmas different like if you want a little smut with your Christmas jolly good
fun come over to lifetime I think that they're offering something new and different and that might resonate with viewers.
No, but it's still on cable.
So like they're really,
they're not going to be doing like Game of Thrones vibes.
No, it's going to be soft.
Right.
Maybe if they did do like hardcore smut Christmas,
maybe on their app or something,
that would be powerful.
That's the title.
A hardcore smut Christmas
no the title of my Christmas smut
movie would be
got it
Christmas is coming
that's good
I was
Christmas is coming
and so am I
I was singing
Jingle Balls
oh love that too
but it's a
mine's a little more subtle
this isn't a title
we could work through it
workshop
yeah something about like
a ho ho ho, ho Christmas.
So I was thinking like the one I was going to say, if you read it, it doesn't sound bad.
It was more like my intonation.
Like holly jolly Christmas.
You say it like that.
Everything is good.
Yeah.
Right.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Right.
Or like.
Deck the halls. I don Or like. Deck the halls.
I don't know.
Deck the balls.
Deck the balls.
This is a genre that's rife for exploration.
It's so true.
And I think.
Get to work.
Jana's the woman to do it.
Lifetime's the network for it.
I mean, Jana was in.
Jana's like a God-fearing woman.
But she was in Entourage,
and she was a very promiscuous college student.
Yeah.
No, I think this is a really good first step for Lifetime.
I think they're the right network.
I think they got the right girl.
This story looks like a beautiful love story
about a horse-whipping rancher.
I know I've told the story a thousand times,
but I can't talk about Lifetime Christmas movies
without talking about the one I saw with Mayim Bialik.
No, you literally can't.
What was that?
I was on tour and there was like one channel on the TV.
So I watched this Lifetime Christmas movie with Mayim Bialik.
It was a Hanukkah movie.
And that's why you like don't like when they do Hanukkah movies.
And I just don't like when they do Hanukkah movies, period.
Like we don't, not everything has to be like for,
like it's about the Christmas movies.
No, it's so true.
Like the Hanukkah movie, it was so bad.
It was bad.
It's always bad.
And like representation is nice,
but like the non-Jews can have Christmas.
It's okay with me.
Yeah, they can have their holiday movies.
Like that's fine. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, they can have their holiday movies. Like that's fine.
Yeah, it's fine.
Yeah, that's your Miami Alex story.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm so glad I was able to bring that up today.
Thanks for choosing that story.
It's been bursting all year long.
Yeah.

but Jackie just kind of is obsessed with them like endlessly.
She would have them every day if she could.
And we're so different like that.
And insurance, do you have something to say?
I mean, I only have a breakfast taco when I come to New York
because it's next to the studio.
I heard a rumor from Julia that you actually eat three a day
when I'm not there.
Oh, I mean, this is common.
Everyone's constantly spreading rumors about me.
My doorman said I was pregnant yesterday.
There's just, don't believe everything you read, Jax.

that's blue n-i-l-e.com thank you la you're welcome our next story elon musk tells advertisers
who left x quote go fuck yourself elon musk the ce of Tesla and SpaceX and the owner of X,
formerly Twitter,
says that the current advertiser boycott
could kill the company.
So he was interviewed by Andrew Ross Sorkin
on Wednesday afternoon
at the New York Times Dealbook Summit
and he is making headlines,
waves,
memes.
The clip was everywhere.
The clip was everywhere.
So the interviewer asked him,
like,
what about advertisers leaving the platform?
And why are advertisers leaving the platform? Advert what about advertisers leaving the platform and why are
advertisers leaving advertisers are leaving the platform because of that thing that he tweeted
like a week or two ago about the he responded to a tweet about Jewish communities which I want to
talk about that initial tweet people are saying that like it was anti-semitic what he said
he later clarified so he had quote tweeted a tweet that said like uh something uh calling out like
Jewish communities and how they've kind of all bought into like these progressive ideas that
are now being wielded against them and and Elon responded this is the actual truth now the tweet
itself was clumsy because it said it made it seem like all Jews all Jews are progressive and into
that stuff and also that like all progressives are Jews, which is just not true.
And Elon had since clarified,
like that's not what he meant.
And so,
but Elon also just got back from a trip from Israel.
Like I,
what Elon did go hard pressed to call someone anti-Semitic because of a tweet
when they literally just got back from Israel and visited the kibbutz and
visited with families.
Like,
I'm sorry,
that is,
that's more important and more indicative
of anything right and the interviewer had started the question i think he was trying to say like
was that press were kind of like just to make up for that tweet like to smooth it over like
does this person know elon has he ever like done anything to appease anyone when he says something
that he believes he like immediately clarified that he was talking about specific Jewish groups like the ADL which by the way like it's true and it's like kind of
a reckoning going on in the Jewish community right now of like how the progressive cause has
completely left us out and a lot of progressive Jews are like what the fuck what like what about
us no and they don't know they don't know where to turn it's been like a it's been a lot of Jews
who are extremely progressive and identify so much
of their identity is rooted in that progressivism are having like identity crises now and they
really don't know where to turn because you know when you've devoted so much of your identity to
standing up for what you believe and then nobody stands up for you you're like well what the fuck
how do we get here how do we get out right also speaking of your girl Mayim Bialik did a video
talking about this did you see her video it was a few weeks ago okay what'd she say how she's just like left
heartbroken by all of like her like she thought that she was a part of this movement and she was
marching with this group and that group and this group and that group and like she's been completely
left out of it left out and she's kind of you know coming to that realization you should watch
that video to understand like what's kind of going on.
I think a lot of people.
The context.
Have seen that video.
Anyway, so that's just kind of what Elon was saying when people like were like, this is
anti-Semitic.
He's like, I'm talking about like specific Jewish groups, not the entire Jewish community.
And then to advertise.
And then also it was kind of like a media matters.
It's a campaign against him to slander him as an anti-Semite and take him out for that.
But like, he's not an anti-Semite. I don't believe him to be an anti-Semite and take him out for that but like he's not an anti-Semite I I don't believe him to be an anti-Semite I really not at all he then went to Israel I don't think it was to appease
anyone because as it's clear he doesn't do that he literally told advertisers to go fuck themselves
what he said was he doesn't do that but also like taking a 13-hour trip to a war zone is not something
you do to appease people you do it because you think it's
the right thing to do right no if you want to appease people you make a donation you make a
statement or an apology right you educate yourself and listen and learn um right but he went to
Israel he met with hostage families he met with victim families like he's wearing a dog tag with
victim's name on it who said he said he will not take this dog tag necklace off until they come home like that's not something you can fake and he's not a faker so no I agree I at this present
moment no issues with Mr. Musk no issues with Mr. Musk but anyways you know they're always trying
to take out Mr. Musk and now this anti-Semitism thing is being used as like a label so that they
can stop advertising with him also a couple of advertisers
their advertisements had appeared next to um i didn't i didn't see it but what they are saying
is like nazi tings um wait what like i don't i don't know exactly what it was but there was like
advertisers on twitter their advertisers like were next to anti-semitic rhetoric nazi propaganda but like isn't that on
every platform right anyway so what he said was he said don't advertise if someone is going to
try and blackmail me with advertising blackmail me with money go fuck yourself go fuck yourself
is that clear hey bob if you're in the audience that's how i bob iger disney because they pulled
their ads that's how i feel don't advertise and then the interviewer is like but Elon if you don't have advertisers you don't have
a business what are you going to do um and he said that if that's what's going to happen then
that's what's going to happen and the whole earth will know that x went down because of these
advertisers and that uh he said quote let the chips fall where they may. Did he say that?
But did he do the hand motion?
No.
Did he say let the chips fall where they may?
No, he didn't.
And so that.
He needs to do better.
And he said of the post that sparked the advertiser exodus,
the post I was just telling you about,
I should in retrospect not have replied to that particular post
and should have expanded in greater length about what I meant.
I handed a loaded gun to those who hate me.
He added, calling it one of those foolish things he had said on the platform.
Yeah.
I, um, I'm just like, I'm focused on like on real antisemitism, like not this, like
it's strategic, you know, I'm focused on like people who are really antisemitic and like go out and cause violence and hurt you and say things like,? I'm focused on like people who are really anti-Semitic
and like go out and cause violence and hurt you
and say things like,
like I'm focused on like real anti-Semitism
and that's, I think, where everyone should be.
From both celebrities and non-celebrities.
And there are plenty of celebrities
who are posting the wildest anti-Semitic shit, the lies.
Like if Bella and Gigi Hadid are not smeared
and canceled for being anti-Semitic,
like Elon is not even on the list.
No.
And I'm hesitant to call her a celebrity.
But that girl from Fifth Harmony, have you seen her Twitter, Lauren?
You know, when she starts coming out with the you people, I know everything I need to know.
And she's deeply unwell.
And she needs to get the fuck off the internet.
Now, I would say, you know, she'll never work in this town again.
But she pretty much already handled that for herself before Gaza.
She's also so small.
Even if she were getting canceled, I don't know.
Like, the headlines would be so big.
But she's not a famous person.
No, she's recognized.
And Fifth Harmony was global for a moment.
She's literally a Hamas fangirly.
You have to read her Twitter.
It's insane. It's insane.
It's insane.
And there's a lot of people like that
who are operating at that level.
Celebrity, intellectual, political, journalist.
No cancellations.
It's open dialogue.
So Elon replied to a tweet that wasn't perfectly quaffed
and felt bad about it, clarified, and then took a trip to Israel.
I'm seriously, I'm not going to lose sleep over this.
There are worse things going on.
No, not for one second.
But the big news was pretty much,
go fuck yourself, hey, Bob.
Hey, Bob.
Bob, what's good?
This is tough for us.
This is tough for us because Bob is a real fixture here
at the Toast.
He is, but he's more of like, it's the idea of Bob, you know?
No, and it's like, what does Bob represent?
No, I literally, I don't know Bob,
but he's just like, it's the idea of him.
He's the head of Disney.
He was the head of like the studios
against the SAG-Astra.
Strike.
Like he is a symbol and he's interchangeable.
I'm sorry, Bob.
He literally just lost his Disney job and got it back.
Like he's interchangeable. I'm sorry, Bob. He literally just lost his Disney job and got it back. Like he's interchangeable.
It's true.
Elon, once in a lifetime.
It's true.
Not like other businessmen and Lobb.
Literally not like other businessmen.
So that's the latest business news.
Are you ready for our fifth and final story?
I am. Like my eye is twitching and I'm annoyed. Okay, but it latest business news. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I am.
Like my eye is twitching and I'm annoyed.
Okay, but it's sports news.
Does that get you perked up?
It does.
And it's Aaron Rodgers news.
I saw him practicing.
Aaron Rodgers returns to the practice field
11 weeks after Achilles heel surgery.
He's eyeing a December 24th comeback.
Oh my God, Christmas!
Christmas is coming and so is aaron
christmas is coming and so is aaron now this could be a smut novel movie too like where he's like
injured yeah he falls in love with the physical therapist it's a big christmas game will he make
it and then of course he makes it they win him and his physical therapist
have Christmas together they fuck the end yeah and he was had so many walls up because you know
football is hard he was angry when he came into PT and he was like I don't need this I can do it
he tries to stand up on his own you know that's a classic scene and he can't she he falls she catches he has to accept her help i love it i love it i love it the jets
quarterback who tore his achilles heel in the season opener in september made his first appearance
on the practice field with teammates on wednesday in a press conference jets head coach robert
sala addressed his return to practice after news broke that his 20 way 21 day practice window had
started the window expires on december 20, giving the team a three-week period
to decide whether or not to remove Rodgers from the injured reserve.
Should he be removed, he could potentially be on the field
for the December 24 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Okay, I wish it was a more exciting team, like with famous people on it,
but I'll take what I get.
Okay, but also the good news is that the Cowboys just
beat the Commanders and like the Cowboys aren't the best team in the NFL so like this so the
Commanders stick so the Jets have a chance at winning and and getting a little confidence
yeah and Aaron looking good and then going back to his physical therapist we did it
no this is so crazy he said he was like I will make a historic comeback I will be back in
December like he didn't give up on New York and New York certainly did not give up on him but it's
been a dark couple of weeks with Zach Wilson at the helm like he's just ill-equipped and I appreciate
him stepping in at a time when we needed him but his time is definitely up yeah Aaron goes back to
December all the time.
There's a song for,
there's a Taylor Swift song for every part of Aaron Rodgers' journey.
No, that's why he's such a Swifty.
Like the morning of the game against the Commanders.
Are you ready for it?
Like, there's a song.
And then after he wins.
I mean.
New Year's Day. And just wait. there's glitter on the floor after the party just wait until taylor writes her nfl inspired album for travis kelsey
like oh oh it's over 100 so i am hoping for a speedy recovery. What a thrill.
For Aaron, December 24th. Hopefully he'll be back on the field.
I'd rather see him up there shaking that thing.
We're all going to be together
for like the Christmas Day football.
Shapiro was at my house.
He was like so excited
that we were like excited to watch.
And it's just going to be a family affair.
