Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials, for the very last time. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. Hope you're rising, grinding, hustling, bustling, doing mogul tings, because I know we are. Okay, that's misleading for the very last time, it sounds like. Oh no, sorry.
Starting point is 00:00:18 For the very last time. I'm not dying. No, today our secret project labors will bear fruit and we can announce what we've been working on and the lead time was so short I don't feel like we were even that annoying about being secretive. Do you know how much worse we could have been? We could have been so much worse and the secret project is multifaceted. The biggest actually depends people might say different things are the biggest thing because they're all so big but one really big thing is that we have rebranded the
Starting point is 00:00:45 show from the morning toast to be the toast so let's talk a little bit how we came to that conclusion we you've been talking for a while about how you hated our former artwork even though I made it and it was really hurtful you weren't wrong um it was you know we were outgrowing it so we met with a creative agency and like we were doing this whole rebrand and we had this long call. They wanted to get to know us, get to know the show. And we didn't even realize, but like as we were telling them all about the toast, he was like, you know, you guys haven't called it the morning toast once. Like you've literally only said the toast. I mean, Jackie looked at each other and we were like, oh my God. Yeah. And with our new setup, we've, you know,
Starting point is 00:01:23 obviously not been able to post the episode so early because we're trying to do high quality video, which takes a long time to get uploaded. So we've been releasing at like 1230, one o'clock in the last couple of weeks. And that's how we're going to be doing it moving forward. So when he said that, me and Jackie just looked at each other and we were like, oh, duh. Presto. Also, it's crazy. We're going on five years of doing the show.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And the show now is so different from what we started as and what we thought the show would be when we first started and what we wanted it to be versus like where we are now which is like we are podcasters we love podcasting in the show even though people love it on youtube and we'll always be on youtube and we love doing video it's really a podcast and i think when we started we were like this like parody morning show so we were like the morning toast but we've grown up and everyone calls it the toast and it is just the toast like the morning toast the morning was holding us back oh a hundred percent like the pressure we felt like get it up as early as
Starting point is 00:02:15 possible like at at what cost you know yeah and this doesn't mean that now we're gonna like be putting it out later and later and later but it's just a podcast I don't know other podcasts that have like morning in the title and every time we release it at different times every day depending on the length of the episode and it's just it was time so just know like absolutely nothing changes the show is exactly the same Jackson Clutter exactly the same we're still gonna be putting it up as soon as we can which is usually around 12 or 1 o'clock um the content remains the same yeah and that's video is by 1 o'clock like the podcast is always lickety split lickety split so that is the first kind of huge we have new artwork if you're listening on your podcast app your podcast app should have um updated to our new artwork our new name our new artwork is so sickening I haven't been able to stop staring at it since we got it
Starting point is 00:03:04 it's the background of my phone because I look so stunning it's so sickening. I haven't been able to stop staring at it since we got it. It's the background of my phone because I look so stunning. It's so sickening. And we have a new logo. It's just a facelift. It's not so different. The branding isn't all of a sudden going to be, you know, like futuristic. No, no, no. It's still girly and fun and classic, but just a little facelift, a little tweak. Yeah. Like the brand needs to mature as we mature, you know, and we're getting old pretty much. I feel like we've really matured and now the brand is coming with us. And I feel like it's just the logical next step. 100%. And it just happened at a great time because the second part of our announcement, which is equally as big, I think, is we have officially joined the Dear Media family. So we've been working on this deal like the entire summer.
Starting point is 00:03:46 I'm so excited to finally announce it. Jackie and I's former podcast contract came up and we were, you know, we were talking to the bigwigs. Like, let's be real. Like we were in it. And when the Dear Media idea came across the table, I think Jackie and I like immediately gravitated towards it. Like I was really excited about it
Starting point is 00:04:02 because I love Lauren and Michael. I think they're so smart. And it's just like always important to work with people who you respect. Um, and we decided to move forward with them and it was like a really long process. And they, I think part of the reason I was particularly so excited is because it turns out everyone who works at Dear Media and their headquarters in LA is a toaster. So it's so important that the people that you work with like get what you do. Yeah, to be surrounded by toasters. It's a dream. Like minded individuals.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah. So we are starting today officially part of the Dear Media family. So is TNN. All of our TNN shows are now a part of Dear Media. Nothing changes. That doesn't really mean anything for you. It's just, you know, a little backend mogul ting for us.
Starting point is 00:04:41 It's kind of B2C, but I mean B2B, but I do feel like Dear Media is more of a consumer facing brand than some of the other networks and bigwigs we were talking to. So it is really exciting for everyone. Yeah, no, it's I'm like thrilled with our decision and it feels good to like have the fruits of our labor in terms of our secret project finally be revealed. So that's the second part of the announcement. The third part, oh, is like, and I'm sure a lot of you guys have noticed this, but as a part of our deal, Dear Media made a strategic investment in Spritz Society, which is our canned cocktails. So a lot of you guys have been sending
Starting point is 00:05:16 me, they've been like putting, you know, a little product placement in a lot of their videos. A lot of their podcasters have been drinking it while having guests in studio. So people are like, oh my God, look, like they're drinking Spritz. Like, yeah, we know. Yeah, it's just one big family now between the Toast, TNN, Spritz, Dear Media, Lauren and Michael. Sounds like we're saying Lauren Michaels, but we're talking about Lauren and Michael Bostic, the Skinny Confidential, Family Tings. Family Tings.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I'm so excited about this next chapter for us i'm excited too it's a new era i feel like we've naturally just been in a new era so to have everything else that we're doing reflect this new season feels really good and apt if you're watching on youtube you probably notice we have removed our old mic flags with our former logo. The new ones should be arriving soon. They take so long to get made. So don't be alarmed, you know? A rebrand is really a big undertaking. I mean, we talk about other rebrands all the time. They have to change everything.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I think, you know, compared to Subway, like our rebrand is a little smaller and more manageable. I think rebrands should be small. Like a successful rebrand, you might not even notice. Not changing the logo like in a crazy way. I mean like they have to change like everything at every single store. Every single cup. We have some like mic flags and you know some artwork. And our Instagram. Yeah but it's rebrand is a rebrand and you know that we love them no matter when and how they come. Speaking of Instagram, we have a new Instagram handle. It is at The Toast.
Starting point is 00:06:48 And if you want to see pictures from our sickening photo shoot, we did two really cute looks for our podcast cover art. We weren't sure which way we were going to go. We obviously had to do, you know, succession vibes, females in charge, power suits. And that's the one we ended up going with. But we also did like a very retro shoot. It was giving mad men. It was giving why women kill.
Starting point is 00:07:08 We were like 50s housewives. Because when we were explaining like kind of our brand aesthetic to our creative agency, we were like, we are these modern women. Like we are female business owners, moguls. But we're also like, you know, traditional queens. Like we keep Shabbos. We're married. Like we're also like very old school in a lot of ways.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah. So it was a lot of ways. Yeah. So it was a marriage of those two ideas. And we ended up going with the power suit look for the artwork. But we really wanted to show you guys our looks for the 50s housewife because honestly, I've never been more obsessed with anything in my life. And you guys know, like my hair is my protector. You know, it's Christian Cole. You know, it protects me. No, it protects me no don't even don't
Starting point is 00:07:47 no I know I know I know sorry what was the other guy's name who burned at um Harrenhal it takes me 10 seconds to figure it out because I have to sir Lord Strong Harwin Harwin yes Harwin it's my Lord Harwin so I was thinking about it as I was going to sleep and i can never remember his name at first but if i start from strong i can get there got it well so i had to put my hair up i had bangs and i was really kind of like nervous about it i was like there's no way we're ever going to use these pictures they will never see the light of day but i think i was born in the wrong era because like take a look at me in those photos and you're going to be like oh yeah yeah no and what's so funny is we did the suits vibe first and it's obviously you know now women wearing suits is like duh but it's technically like back in the day it was like a crazy thing to do so we're like wearing quote
Starting point is 00:08:35 unquote men's suits and then we put on these dresses these housewife dresses and we did our hair like 50s and we went all the way and I think at first like we thought we looked a little silly but then we started looking at the pictures and we looked amazing and we were like we were like now we get why women wear these dresses because we look like the fucking snatchlers oh my god like an a-line empire waist short sleeve polka dot dress is my look who knew what a thunk they were really on to something it was also so funny it's like so I wore my hair in like little uh pinned rolling curls and when I took it down I had the most gorgeous wave and I was like they were really on to something a hundred I couldn't get my hair to hold a wave all day because it was before I got my hair cut all of a sudden I'm doing 50s hair. Wave. Wave.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Wave. So that's the big mogul news. You're welcome for not making you wait too long and being annoying and teasing it, because we've known about this since literally May. So I'm very excited. We hope you guys are excited. And woo-hoo. Woo-hoo. Woo-hoo.
Starting point is 00:09:41 So now we'll be back to business as usual usual but just today feels like a very exciting day we don't really have that many crazy news stories no no no not about the news i'm just saying like in this industry and in this job like every day is kind of same like today i woke up and i was like it's carnation day no it's when i tell you day jackie when i tell you i did not sleep and my dreams my dreams were about like launching on Instagram because we have all these like cool pictures going up and I like fucked it up in my dream and I woke up and I went back to sleep. I'm like, oh, thank God I didn't oversleep because we woke up a little extra early today
Starting point is 00:10:16 and I went back to sleep and I had the same dream. Wow. It's a lesson. No, like you're right. Like it's coronation day. Yeah. The window is open. so is that door. I didn't know they did that anymore.
Starting point is 00:10:30 We can't sing together anymore. That sucks. I know. No, that's kind of like nature healing, because I think we were really losing listeners. That's so crazy to me. I know. I just can't wrap my head around it.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Those listeners don't support women in the arts. Those listeners, it's just like, I guess it's not their vibe. If you can't relate to bursting out into song at any given possible chance, and that doesn't spark joy for you, I can't relate. I really can't. And there's no shade towards you. Neither one of us is right or wrong. It's just like my kind of people burst out into song
Starting point is 00:11:06 my kind of folk buy beer on friday get right on saturday night um before i forget also today's like such a busy day tonight i'm going to be in long island at westberry plaza the total wine at westberry plaza at 5 45 for a spritz meet and greet we can all drink and celebrate the new era of the toast so i hope to see you guys there on long island the total wine we're For a spritz meet and greet, we can all drink and celebrate the new era of the toast.

Awesome. And tonight I will be recording the Redheads. I just finished the Redheads book and it was so amazing. It was so incredible. Like I wish I had to read it within like two to three days because
Starting point is 00:11:46 I started it Friday night I had to be done today and I finished it last night like I wish I could have drawn it out longer and enjoyed it I was like reading during every single break that I had I was like reading on the plane when like Harry was quiet for two seconds I was like picking up my book um and it was so delightful and I think all the girls loved it I would recommend it to anyone we've read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmis it already had amazing reviews and I can concur that it was really incredible and if you have questions about the book or anything else about reading email us the redheadsbookclub at gmail.com I will sift through all the spam to get to your questions oh and then the
Starting point is 00:12:25 episode goes up on Thursday and redheads is moving to dear media I know people were really really nervous about they were so nervous about the redheads getting left behind they're like what does this mean for the redheads like cool for the toast but what does it mean for the redheads and it means the redheads go unchanged that's what wait I totally forgot to tell you on that note I joined a book club excuse you're not like a podcast book club like a social book club you know like with who with like people in real life thank you um my friend Abe who by the way um I recorded a podcast with on the patreon and people are always asking me like who is Abe so we did like a whole thing um my friend Abe Margo Fish and my friend Raquel
Starting point is 00:13:01 okay and so it's once a month well like we're already having a hard time scheduling the first meeting because like Raquel's going to Israel I'm gonna be in Florida in November it's like it's gonna be um it's gonna be tough but we chose the book what's the book the last thing he told me I okay not good no not worth I worth your time. I'll tell the group. Not worth your time. You personally won't like it. And it's just like objectively three stars. Hold on. Wait, let me write in the book club chat.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Honestly, you guys should read Lessons in Chemistry because it's a great book club book. It's worth your time. Wait, Jackie says we will not like the book. No, like maybe someone won't hate it. But Dana read it. I read it. And we're just like, meh. Oh my won't hate it but Dana read it I read it and we're just like meh oh my god I'm so glad I asked you because like it was a lot of pressure like nobody
Starting point is 00:13:51 wanted to be the first one to choose so like I didn't but then Raquel suggested it I'm like I've seen it all over Goodreads it's all I want to read like so I'm like oh okay yeah yeah yeah oh shit oh man you just saved us like so like imagine if we started off the book club on such a bad note we'd never get to meeting number two. Yeah. But I mean, sometimes a bad book can bond people. But the problem with that book is that it's not even bad. It's not, it's neither good nor bad.
Starting point is 00:14:12 It's just book. Book. Yeah. It doesn't inspire conversation. Crisis averted. Try Lessons in Chemistry. It's so good. And if you are not a redhead it is literally never too late
Starting point is 00:14:25 you could go to amazon go to libby go to your local library and get the book today and join us all of our episodes are evergreen you can listen to them literally from three years ago you can listen now and it'll feel like we just recorded it oh and a testament to that is the reason why we're starting this book club because i've been hounding abe to start reading he bought a kindle like two years ago at my request and he's like I don't understand but he finally got into it and now he wants to start a book club and he read a lot of uh like a couple of books that had been redheads episodes so he goes back and listens like he loved the red white and royal blue episode he was like I'm cracking up that is so funny I literally don't even remember recording it but I'm glad it still holds well he was like I loved the book so much
Starting point is 00:15:03 and then I listened to the episode and like I kind of like realized things like maybe it wasn't that good you know when you're forced to talk about a book for an hour you inevitably like nitpick have to critique it and you like that's what even we do with books that we love it doesn't change how much I love the book but definitely other people will be like didn't you think that was weird and I'm like oh I didn't notice it but yeah I guess that's weird or like a plot hole that you didn't notice. Yes, loose ends that didn't tie up. I feel like that'll happen a little bit with this book that we just read, but they can't turn me away from how much I loved it. I am reading City of Likes. I'm being like so slow with this book. I've had no time. And I think I'm only like 25% through. It's by Jenny Mullen. and it's all about like Instagram and like you know New York influencers
Starting point is 00:15:45 and I really feel like she took a lot of inspiration from real life like not that the people are anything like each other but I felt like the main character Daphne who's like this fabulous gorgeous rich mom influencer was heavily inspired by Ariel Charnas like I just I am like a lot of the way she was describing like her family and her kids I'm like oh my god this is Arielle Charnas and then obviously Chelsea House is Soho House yeah I didn't think of Arielle Charnas once maybe just because of the way her style was it didn't make me or because she was blonde because she was blonde and she was very like pop and like Arielle Charnas is like very like minimal and classic. I just meant like her career and her image, like how she's literally so famous.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Her kids are so famous and everyone is obsessed with her kids. Like it just really reminded me of Ariel Tarnas. It reminds me more of like Chiara Frogney. Oh, okay. That's good too. That's who should play her in the movie if they make a movie. There was one other thing that was like so real life I can't remember I was like oh I know exactly where she pulled inspiration from I can't remember but
Starting point is 00:16:50 I feel like schools I got kid schools no no because like I don't know anything about like the New York City like school nursery game right and the way people talk about it like it is the Hunger Games I but it is actually like that. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I'm reading. I'm being slow. But I watched so much TV. Obviously, we're going to do the House of the Dragon recap.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And then I want to talk a little bit about Do Revenge. Okay. Which is that Netflix movie with Cami Mendes that I watched. And I watched The Family Stone for the first time. Have you ever watched it?
Starting point is 00:17:20 No. It's like a classic holiday movie. Like it's literally like the holiday. People are obsessed that it has like a cult following. And some reason I realized I'd never seen it and I was like in the mood because I was making a chili yesterday I was in the mood to watch like holiday movies and I have a lot of thoughts so I'll talk about all that in the tv recap okay great um I was in the middle of ordering groceries and I forgot and I have no food so I literally need to do that while you read the ads thank you for reminding me with your chili um so without further ado and this part is going to be
Starting point is 00:17:50 workshopped as we settle into our rebrand cool mcclardia your cards are off brand oh my god I forgot the thing about rebrands there's so much to do that's what I said that's what I meant about like subway like the cups yeah we need new cards. Okay. McLardia, your curds are off brand. Without further ado, the Strice brothers are doing well. Bruno is working on his memoirs. That's why he's not in studio with me right now. It is time for the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you. Sound off in the comments if you have any good suggestions i think we might need to depart entirely like it's time for the fast stories that you need to know and then everything else
Starting point is 00:18:34 should change like that you need to know before you finishing before no i think think stop thinking like of toast in the morning. Like maybe start thinking like. Well, no, we need to use the crunch sound. Cheers toast. And we have a clink sound next. Oh, that's cute. Okay, let's workshop it. And let's just play the crunch now for old time's sake. Fab.

First up, Prince George said. prince george said i'm kidding i'm like this fucking bitch on the day of our rebrand i'm kidding oh my god i was like there's no there's literally no fucking way i've been working on that joke since friday oh by the way that's a good one thank you thanks claudia um you're welcome that was a cough yeah i could tell um
Starting point is 00:23:49 okay first story some exciting couple news that we ship no matter where they stand exes lily james and matt smith were spotted at the same london party more than two years after they split lily james and matt smith may have had an unexpected run-in on september 30th over two years after they split. Lily James and Matt Smith may have had an unexpected run-in on September 30th, over two years after they broke up. The ex-lovers were both spotted partying at the Chiltern Firehouse, a luxury restaurant and hotel located in the West End of London. Lily and Matt apparently each stayed out until around five in the morning when they went home separately within just a few minutes of each other. It's unclear what happened inside the party,
Starting point is 00:24:22 but that's the information that we have, and I think that there's something there. let me tell you why this is so exciting are you ready to hear why it's so exciting I know why could I guess I could I guess yeah that because when they were dating you didn't know them from Adam and you couldn't appreciate it and now you love them both so dearly and they're coming back together so that you can appreciate it oh my god yes exactly like I felt like I totally missed the boat because I wasn't a Matt Smith stan. I hadn't seen Downton Abbey yet. So I didn't really know anything about Lily James. So like I wasn't invested in either of them enough to like give a shit about the relationship. And now through many different channels, I've become obsessed with Lily James,
Starting point is 00:24:56 Downton Abbey, Pam and Tommy. Like she is that girl. And of course I'm head over heels in love with lay my life out on the line, take several bullets for Damon Targaryen aka Matt Smith um and I knew him before you know he was in the crown I didn't care so now that like my my interest has peaked with both of them and then I was too late I found out that they dated five years ago that was upsetting now that there's even a glimmer of hope even if it's like just a pure coincidence they were at the same event the fact that I can be a part of it like as somebody who's like so desperate to be a part of things this is overwhelming it really is I agree they're giving us an opportunity to be a part of it I don't know if this thing has legs but I do think it means something that they were at the same party and they left at the same time and that time was 5
Starting point is 00:25:38 a.m like it's not like they just left an event that ended and they had to leave at the same time I think this means a little something. It might just be like exes finding comfort in one another. Nothing innocuous happens at 5 a.m. Like something's going on. Something nefarious. No, not nefarious. Something wonderful.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Something wonderful. That did remind me something I wanted to talk about in the Game of Thrones finale is like why I'm problematic. That was the finale? Sorry. No. I don't know why I said that oh okay even though it kind of had finale vibes no no um I saw a preview for next week I saw a preview for next week sorry it was just like a slip I don't I know nothing like is that not clear like when you tune into the show you're not gonna get facts like you're just gonna get like musings okay no but that's something that you wouldn't know but I did see the preview next for next week so she misspoke yeah no sorry I meant episode um and just remind me like when we
Starting point is 00:26:30 talk at the end like remind me to explain to you why I'm a problematic girl okay okay I will um thank you and now for our next story which was requested by Claudia um Yes. Which is an interesting story. Lil Nas X delays his concert to poop backstage. He said, quote, I'm, quote, dropping demons. Lil Nas X candidly told Atlanta concert goers in the middle of a show Thursday
Starting point is 00:26:54 that he needed a bathroom break. Quote, I'm backstage and this is like not a part of the show, but I'm taking a mean shit, so please forgive me, the rapper said, noting that he only needed a minute or two on the toilet.
Starting point is 00:27:04 I'll be right back, the Grammy winner promised in a viral video filmed by an audience member on Friday the songwriter took to Twitter to clarify that he wasn't kidding about delaying the show to drop a deuce quote LMAO people really thought I was joking I was literally back there dropping demons into that toilet so it wasn't in the middle of the show it was before um well he said it on he they told them I think that he went off stage and pooped and came back okay I mean this is just like the reason why I love the show about it middle of the show I said okay the reason why I wanted to talk about it it's like thank you like this is so relatable I always, and like I'm a performer. My shows are only an hour, maybe an hour and a half. So like I keep my ass cheeks tight.
Starting point is 00:27:50 But I do often think like people who give three hour concerts and a lot of them like drink on stage. Like I just wonder like how do none of them take dumps? And maybe there are things they do day of the show, like, you know, emodium, something that, you know, blocks their bowels but I often think like how has there really never been anyone who had to like leave stage to go poop I'm sure there have been but like you're also like athletes athletes yeah I mean what about us we do the show an hour and a half and we sit here and I feel like we're always talking about how we have
Starting point is 00:28:21 to pee we always have to pee but we really I think only when I was pregnant did I ever get up to go pee in the middle but you could pee in the middle of a concert as a performer you have wardrobe changes and they always send out the guy with his guitar solo a hundred percent and I do think that those guitar solos are the pee breaks I think so too and they introduce the band members I'm not gonna lie, this is relatable, but it's TMI. Like, but I think that's. No, I think it's funny. The descriptors of these like fire deuces that he's dropping. Like, I'm good personally. I think that it's a little too far for me,
Starting point is 00:29:01 but I'm glad that you found joy in it. No, I didn't find joy, you freak. I'm glad you found joy in it no I didn't find joy you freak I'm glad you found joy in the in Lil Nas's toilet bowl I appreciated the candidness the straightforward the transparency the honesty and then it's just always like that then it just like made me think how this doesn't happen more often I'm sure it does happen but also the body has a way yes of doing what it needs to do and unless you like were sick that day with food poisoning like you probably won't be able to hold it not hold it in you know even if like yes that's
Starting point is 00:29:32 true your body on stage like you could wait until you got off stage no because I often think about how like I've literally I've done like 150 comedy shows I I've never sneezed. Now you're going to be sneezing up a storm. Well, I would love to sneeze because like I have kind of like an amazing, beautiful sneeze. And people should see it live in person. But you're right. Like your body has a way, maybe it's adrenaline of like acting right. Even if you're, even if you are sick. Like one time I, I had like trouble.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I was in Houston and like before the show, like I had diarrhea. And I went on stage and and, like, shit just gets right. Like, it acts right. Yeah. But then it made me think, have you seen the video, like, going viral of, like, the pop-up toilet on the football field? No. They have, like, a pop-up toilet. It's, like, this tent this tent that like lifts up.
Starting point is 00:30:27 You know those, okay, whatever. It's like a tent. Okay, I can envision. And you're like totally private, but like you are taking a dump in front of 100,000 people. Okay, I don't think athletes on the regular need to take a dump in the middle of the game. Some football games are extremely long.
Starting point is 00:30:45 And also like the locker room is a few feet away. So unless you're Tom Brady, but even he gets a break when they're on defense. Yeah. People need to be able to hold it in. And you know what? I feel like your bowels, I mean, some people have,
Starting point is 00:31:00 and we also read like unburdening yourselves where it's like, actually people can't hold it in. Right, hold it. But I feel like I where it's like actually people can't hold it in. Right. Hold it. But I feel like I unless I'm sick I can hold it. Well a lot of people have IBS. That's what I'm saying. That's what I've learned through Unburdening Yourselves. It's been very educational that like there are a lot of stomach issues out there.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Also a little fun fact is like most theaters and I imagine that even the ones I haven't been to and like football fields and basketball courts, most theaters have a toilet right on side stage. That's not a part of your dressing room. Like your dressing room is maybe downstairs or upstairs. But like nine times out of 10, there's like a door by the stage entrance with a toilet. And they always show you like just in case of emergency, like there's literally a toilet right here. So it's thought of yeah I just like he said it was a one to two minute poop he could he didn't need to say
Starting point is 00:31:51 anything but I think it's you know funny and people obviously got a charge out of it he is like always trolling people that's why I think a lot of people thought it wasn't real yeah I just and I know we talk about poop a lot on this show inadvertently um so i'm not really one to talk it's just like a lot of poop you know yeah no i find i i agree that sometimes you know like a poop joke is like poop joke is like the lowest form of humor but sometimes it's actually just funny yeah um are you ready for our next story a little financial news kim kardashian agrees to pay 1.26 million dollars to settle sec crypto charges kim kardashian has agreed to settle charges from the u.s security and exchange commission the sec for touting on social media a crypto asset security offered and sold by ethereum max without disclosing the payments she received for the promotion the sec
Starting point is 00:32:40 announced the charges on monday in an official release and stated that Kim, quote, agreed to settle the charges, pay $1.26 million in penalties, disgorgement and interest, and cooperate with the commission's ongoing investigation without admitting or denying the SEC's findings. According to the group, Kim violated protocols when she didn't reveal that she received a quarter of a million dollars to make an Instagram post promoting Ethereum Max's Emacs tokens, a crypto asset security product, along with a link to the company's website for would-be purchasers. The SEC said, no, I'm sorry, Kim's lawyer said,
Starting point is 00:33:12 Kim, Ms. Kardashian is pleased to have resolved this matter with the SEC. She fully cooperated with the SEC from the very beginning and she remains willing to do whatever she can to assist the SEC in this matter. This is kind of crazy and this is what they're always warning you about. Like if you don't put ad on your posts like the FTC or the SEC can this matter. This is kind of crazy. And this is what they're always warning you about. Like if you don't put ad on your posts, like the FTC or the SEC can come for you. I think that because this is crypto. Yeah, no, this is not like if I remember a little while ago, I think JLo got in trouble for like an FTC violation for not disclosing hashtag ad. That is like a especially when you're a content creator who does brand deals, like you always hear like you could get sued, blah, blah. But this is like not what Kim did was like dead
Starting point is 00:33:50 ass illegal. Like that's like, remember when Elon Musk was like, I'm going to take a Tesla private. So then the price of his stock went up so much because everybody went to buy it. That's like moving the market with your platform. And that's like fully illegal. Like, and I actually remember when Kim did these stories and a bunch of people did them. I was like, this is such a weird sponsored post because it's like influencing the market. That's okay, fine. I agree.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Let's talk about the post in a second. But the idea that like someone could say something that influences trends, like there are so many business shows like that. Like what about Jim Cramer? Like how is that different? It's so different. If Jim Cramer is like saying buys this stock and then everyone buys it,
Starting point is 00:34:31 the price goes up. Because Jim has no, actually. It's just a level of success. You know, people listen to Elon. No, I don't think that's it. I'm not sure what the difference is, but there's a difference. That's a really good point, and I don't have a rebuttal,
Starting point is 00:34:48 but I know that there is one. Do you know what I mean? I'm sure there is one, but it's very slight, and I think it's a gray line. And I don't know if Jim Cramer gets on and tells you exactly what to buy. Isn't that his job?
Starting point is 00:35:01 No, it's to report on what happened. Everyone saw the funniest meme that was a list of all the stocks that Jim Kramer has told people to buy over the like literally every single one. And they are all in the red. So you should actually do the opposite of what Jim Kramer said. Well, is that just because we're like headed for a recession? Like that's an aside. They are bad stock tips. No shade to Jim Kramer. That's just what I stock tips no shade to jim kramer that's just no shade that's what i saw kramer no that's interesting yeah but like shit shit like this is very touchy
Starting point is 00:35:35 like you cannot even when we used to do remember how robin hood was one of our big sponsors i remember in the copy they used to send over there was this huge disclaimer you cannot suggest stocks stocks or companies for people to buy like it's a huge violation so Kim Kim's thing is totally illegal the Jim Kramer thing is like an amazing point thank you that I need further because like you're right but like you have to be wrong you know what I mean mean? Right. Sound off in the comments. Yeah. Like why is what Jim Cramer does not illegal?
Starting point is 00:36:09 And like any other walk alley folk. He's just, you know, the one I know. Yeah. I mean, Kim's was like so obvious. Also,
Starting point is 00:36:18 I feel like Kim must be having a moment of reflection between this and the giveaways. It's like, why are, why is she doing? I mean, she got paid a quarter of a million dollars for this but honestly not that wasn't enough considering it cost her a million point two five and now she's in another lawsuit and I just feel like she has so many businesses legit companies want to work with her like at a certain point you should say no maybe I think that's a lesson she might be learning today that's so true I forgot also about the lawsuit like these giveaways these sponsored posts are becoming more trouble than they're worth no you're so right everybody likes to make an example out of Kim you know yes how
Starting point is 00:36:54 many giveaways do people do how many other people promote weird shit on Instagram but it's Kim who's going to be made the example of because she is the biggest one doing it and recently so much of what Kim does is so legitimate her starting that VC firm with the guy from Blackstone like Carlisle so Carlisle so high brow you know like she keeps reaching new levels of legitimacy and then there's like elements that are so tacky like the giveaways like it just you don't have a VC with Carlisle group and a Louis Vuitton giveaway. Yeah. I also feel like I remember back in the day she promoted some pharma thing and it was an issue.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Do you remember? Is this ringing a bell? I can't. I know that she's done sponsored posts with like Botox, the company, and then like four stories afterwards. It's like all these long like credit, a credit of disclaimers. Yeah. No, but there was.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I don't remember her getting like sued sued for that though hold on uh because there are a bunch of people who work with Botox like Simon Huck is like does um a lot of really good sponsored content for Botox and then there's always like a huge caption of disclaimers and yeah no this was FDA admonishes drug maker over Kim Kardashian Instagram post. The post was now removed, but it went up. It was talking about morning sickness. The thing was de-sleg, de-clagus. Well, Khloe also is the face of NERC tech OTD.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Yeah, and the FDA had said that the URLs were insufficient and inconsistent with the full material information required when such a drug is advertised in any medium. insufficient and inconsistent with the full material information required when such a drug is advertised in any medium and with like with this is there any um bearing on the company or just kim because they're also like isn't there a responsibility on the company to make sure that like the content they're paying to be put out has full disclosures true like is urethium whatever it was called the crypto company are they being sued as well? Yeah. And also this harks back to Fyre Festival where it's like the people who promoted it weren't sued.
Starting point is 00:38:50 The people who created it were. Right. Like where, in situations like this, like where does the liability lay? And what's the difference between that and this? Yeah. No, that's a good point. Just so many financial questions this morning is what she's being sued for it said because she didn't disclose how much she got paid she didn't
Starting point is 00:39:14 disclose let me get back the because it said like the amount that she was paid i think without disclosing that she was paid is my no read it again for touting on social media crypto asset security offered and sold by ethereum max without disclosing the payment she received for the that she was paid is my no read it again for touting on social media crypto asset security offered and sold by ethereum max without disclosing the payment she received for the promotion that's could be either or oh it could be because it sounds like well if she wrote hashtag ad but not hashtag i was paid 250k or or just that there was no disclosure at all which is a rookie mistake for kim especially in a new space like crypto yeah without disclosing the payment the payment that makes it seem like she didn't put hashtag ad
Starting point is 00:39:52 which I come on yeah this is what she said on her Instagram story back when she posted it are you guys into crypto this is not financial advice but sharing what my friends just told me about the ethereum max token A few minutes ago, Ethereum Max burned 400 trillion tokens, literally 50% of their admin wallet, giving back to the entire Emacs community. They said she violated the anti-touting provision of the federal securities law.
Starting point is 00:40:17 That's like intentionally trying to make people think you weren't paid. Yeah, and she also- And that is illegal. She also agreed not to promote any crypto assets securities for three years. Oh, girly's in trouble. She's in trouble with the SEC. Well, you know, I love Kim, but she's wrong for this one.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Like she's like there's full proof. But she's cooperating, as her lawyer said. She's paying the piper. 100%. Also, speaking of Kim, her podcast dropped today with Spotify, which is exciting because we heard about it a while ago. So now it's here. Huge podcast news for the industry today.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I know. It's a day of podcast news. And like the whole family is out killing it in Paris. Killing it. Chloe. Chloe. Kylie took over Paris Fashion Week. It's Kylie Fashion Week now.
Starting point is 00:41:04 For sure. But you'd love to see Chloe like finally getting the respect that she deserves. Yes, totally. I love that for her. Totally. Okay, our next story is a little Hurricane Ian news because I want to just take a moment to share our thoughts. And anyone who's in.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Oh, how was your house when you got back? I know you weren't in like the eye of it. We weren't in the eye of it. Everything here looks fine. I haven't noticed anything. Okay, thank God. got back i know you weren't in like the eye of it we weren't in the eye of it everything here looks fine i haven't noticed anything um okay thank god but people up further north in florida in naples and fort myers are just really struggling the orlando area and a little celeb news hurricane ian causes 10 million dollars of damage to the queen of versailles stars mansion oh my god queen of that mansion is turned.
Starting point is 00:41:46 It's literally cursed. Okay, if you guys have never seen the documentary Queen of Versailles, you absolutely have to. It's one of the best documentaries ever. It captures. And here's a little teaser. Here's a little teaser. They're doing a documentary on the biggest residential home being created in America.
Starting point is 00:42:01 They follow this family in Florida. They're making the biggest square footage. Based on Versailles is what they're modeling. Based on Versailles. The biggest residential home, private residential home. And as they're filming the documentary, the family goes broke. Yeah, because the recession hits.
Starting point is 00:42:15 It's 2008. It's a crazy documentary. And now the queen herself, Jackie, she's like a podcaster. Yeah, she's an influencer. She's around. I see her. So Queen of Versailles star Jackie Siegel says the hurricane Ian destroyed parts of her Florida mansion amounting
Starting point is 00:42:28 to 10 million dollars in damages the socialite provided TMZ with photos of the destruction which includes caved in ceilings she does she still own the house the house is still being worked on they were supposed to be done by May 2023 now but now it's pushed back because of this she explained that the damages are so steep because she recently added 24-carat gold molding to her living room, which is now partially falling to the floor. As a result of the hurricane, construction on the 90,000-square-foot estate
Starting point is 00:42:53 has been put on hold. Siegel said several floors in the home are flooded and her back patio looks like a lake. She believes pumping out the water will cost about $100,000. The Orlando area property was supposed to be completed by May 2023, according to the former model, but it seems that date has now been pushed back.
Starting point is 00:43:09 I mean, it's like, it's a nice pop culture tie-in, but like people literally lost everything. Like I don't feel bad for Jackie Siegel and her 24 karat molding. No, no, no, of course. But it's an interesting pop culture tie-in. Also interesting to know that they're still working on the house. They still own the house. And they still own it.
Starting point is 00:43:23 If you watch the documentary, you probably would have thought eventually they would have to have sold it, but they didn't. And they're still trying to get the Versailles of Florida. What did her husband do for a living? He did timeshares. Right. Yeah. So old school.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Yeah. Well, I'm sending love to all of our Florida toasters. I hope you guys are okay. I really am. Especially those who live in Fort Myers. Like the footage coming out. It's sad it's so sad it's like one of the biggest hurricanes in like centuries in the country yeah let me tell you that I ended up on the strangest side of TikTok okay it's like the wives of linemen so I didn't really know anything about it but I guess like
Starting point is 00:44:01 linemen is this job like you're like a first responder for crises so you fly out to Florida for something like this Puerto Rico you know you go to areas of destruction and catastrophe and you spend time there you obviously do search and rescue you rebuild it's like a huge part of your job and there are these women called like I'm sorry I'm botching like the verbiage called like bunny boppers or something who like hop on the linemen like and like want to fuck like it's like kind of when athletes come to your town yeah yeah so like the wife of the line women have like been making all these tiktoks being like okay bunny chasers like just know that the linemen have families at home they have wives and kids who love them like back off and it's like the other side of the argument is like the buddy chasers
Starting point is 00:44:49 are just like rational thinking human beings are like well if your man is like gonna be cheating on his wife and the mother of his children like that's also mostly on him also aren't the men busy isn't there a lot of work to be done i was just learning so much about the line men and women that's fascinating like how the fuck did I get here maybe because I was like engaging with a lot of like hurricane content the algorithm brought me to like this dark side of that conversation I was just like shook at first I'm like this is not English I'm like what are bunny hoppers I'm botching the verbiage I'm sorry but it's like the linemen and the bunny chasers I can follow and I'm fascinated yeah it was so crazy like you think like oh my god anyone who like goes into a disaster
Starting point is 00:45:32 area to help like hero um going it's the dark side of heroism to help cheat on their wives right to you know pillage no it was really and so do these girls then the mistresses of the linemen do they fly into disaster areas as well to offer their services oh that's interesting are they local like i don't know no i think they have to go out to meet these guys because it would just be like does every neighborhood have a bunny chaser? And then when the neighborhood gets hit, like. Perhaps. But I think them, you know, traveling to the disaster zones makes a lot more sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:11 I hope while they're there, they're helping out. Yeah. Come on. That's crazy. Do your part for the community. That's really crazy. I know. And like the hurricane just in general is like so crazy and so sad.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Like people's entire lives just like washing away yeah and there's still like so many people missing rescue efforts are still underway I've been seeing like a lot of footage of rescue efforts like from people who are like literally like an other house became an island yeah you know I guess there's nowhere to go really a good thing about TikTok I feel like you've seen I feel like with anything like you really get inadvertently a lot of news yes you do if you engage with that type of content you know yeah but also I feel like people who are there and are posting really compelling things they're going on the for you page and even if you choose to you know watch videos of the renegade you might be inundated with that as well which is good
Starting point is 00:47:03 yes and I also think like people are like making themselves known like, oh, we're on this street and our whole neighborhood, like we can't get out. Like it's a good like putting out a call. Yeah. So it has its benefits. For sure. Are you ready for our fifth and final story, which is actually also a little documentary news that's wild.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And it's for our 90s babies because Barney docu-series I Love You You Hate Me uncovers uncovers the dark side of the kids show so a trailer just dropped to Barney docu-series two parts at Peacock and apparently Barney experienced a lot of negativity, death threats, and there was like this hatred for Barney. So can't relate because like the way as a child, I would have laid down in the street into oncoming traffic for Barney. He would never have you do that is what was so great about Barney. I love you.
Starting point is 00:48:01 It was such a sweet show. So I thought it was going to be like the environment was toxic, like not safe and working environment for kids. But you're saying. More so like the haters, the rumors, like people tearing down Barney. Here's. Wow. Here's the info.
Starting point is 00:48:15 The core message of the immensely popular Barney and Friends kid show was to spread love and kindness to one another. But the trailer for a new Peacock docuseries highlights the idea that America was not so eager to accept that message. In the trailer for a new Peacock docuseries highlights the idea that America was not so eager to accept that message. In the trailer for the upcoming two-part docuseries I Love You, You Hate Me, multiple talking heads from Bill Nye the Science Guy
Starting point is 00:48:33 to NBC's Al Roker share stories of how quickly the world turned against the friendly dinosaur, rejecting its values of inclusion and respect. Bob West, a Barney performer who stepped into the costume for the happy purple dinosaur, shared that death threats were made against his entire family. Quote, they were violent and explicit death and dismemberment of my family, he says in the trailer.
Starting point is 00:48:51 They were going to come and find me and they were going to kill me. Much of the dialogue in the trailer surrounds the show's creator, Cheryl Leach, who developed the show in 1992 alongside Kathy Parker and Dennis DeShazer. After initially creating home videos of the Barney character for her children. A spliced string of dialogue from multiple interviews in the trailer underscores the general purpose of the Barney character. Barney stands for inclusion, acceptance,
Starting point is 00:49:13 you should love everyone. We all have Cheryl Leach to thank for that. The Peacock docuseries was first announced in November of last year and hails from the producers of Queer Eye. The docuseries is set to premiere on October 12th on Peacock and the trailer has just dropped. So I feel like for some people, this trailer,
Starting point is 00:49:31 like the fact that there's going to be a documentary about Barney is just big news. Like we were such Barney-philes. I know. And I'm glad to hear that the, you know, it's not like there were like drug use on set and Barney was like, you know, sexually assault not like there was like drug use on set and Barney was like sexually assaulting everyone. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:48 But I had no idea. But it also does make you wonder like what did happen to Barney and why isn't Barney still around today like Sesame Street? You want to know why? Because he was too good for this world. That's why. That's why we can't have nice things. That is so terrible. Makes you wonder what's going on. I'm so glad Barney isn't a that is so terrible you wonder what's going on
Starting point is 00:50:05 isn't a real person you wonder what's going on with baby shark like i hope baby peppa coco melon moana yeah i mean this is just disgraceful and a real testament to how disgusting the country we live in is because we can't even have Barney like that can't even be a universally accepted content show yeah justice for Barney and I'm interested in this at all that's not the when you said there's a Barney documentary that was certainly not the the content I thought we were going to be receiving that was the hatred the hatred the negativity you hate me you hate me that's a hilarious name for the documentary and if you listen to if you watch the trailer it's like do do do do do do but then it like takes oh it's like a horror it takes like a dark turn yeah like this do do do do do do do yeah
Starting point is 00:51:02 and it's not like do do do theodora i wonder how dora is doing it makes you think about all your beloved kids characters and what they're going through i read like a conspiracy theory about dora growing up and getting into porn um okay like love that for her um i didn't really believe the conspiracy theory whatever she chooses do. I empower her to make her own choices. Life's about choices, Claude. Life's about joy. Okay, I'll stop singing. There is a new Shania Twain song, though.

Starting point is 00:52:56 back to back so i might have some i don't even remember what happened in the so raniera and damon buck they get married they kiss their blood and it should be like one of the greatest times of my life right but like tell me and and I think like this is really exposing like why I'm problematic like tell me why I'm not as excited about it now that she's grown like it's disgusting I think yes on the on its head that's problematic I think you're just attached to the other actress I think when we fell in love with Rhaenyra and Daemon to begin with it was the other actress and so you want to see them together and let's get like this is another person you know and we're all pretending like it's just 10 years later Rhaenyra but that was the chemistry that you fell in love with I
Starting point is 00:53:39 actually had a really easy time transitioning to the new actors and actresses which was good I think I had a good time an easy time transitioning to Alicent I think yeah the actress looks just like her um and she's really fucking evil and so is that actress like it tracks with Rhaenyra just because she's the main character I'm definitely having a harder time adjusting. Yeah, it will maybe take a little time for you, but it's really so crazy how when we left Rhaenyra and Laenor, they thought they had it figured out. You know, we're going to. And it was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:54:13 Good for them. Modern relationship. We're going to have our cake. We're going to eat it too. And now 10 years later, like he has to fake his own death. And. Okay, wait. So me and Ben were discussing,
Starting point is 00:54:24 and I wasn't entirely sure what happened because was it their plan all along to fake Laenor's death or did they really want that guy to kill Laenor? But then him and Laenor, you know, came up with the plan to escape. I think it's the second one. I think, um, they wanted him to kill Laenor I think that would have been simpler and really like they can't be together if Laenor is still alive I think they came up with this plan and I do see you know Laenor coming back in however many years and disrupting things I watched inside the episode after to see if they said anything they didn't they just said Laenor really wanted to be you know stripped of his free like of his
Starting point is 00:55:05 responsibilities and burdens and nobility and so maybe he will go live in across the narrow sea and not come back and i guess to everyone that's the equivalent of him being dead and reneara can remarry yeah no i just wasn't sure if like this was a brilliant plan or if his boyfriend fucked shit up. I think they left a gap in it. On purpose. No I think Rhaenyra and Gaiman like expect him to be dead. Got it. Okay that's like so fucked up. Even though like and because he was like he was fucked up and in his own way but he was very loyal and honorable and he wasn't a great husband but like he was a good friend. Yeah and he was also ready to try and be the man she needed to be so like that's not the time to kill him but to let him run off and live the life that he wants to live it's the time and then the big scene was all the kids and it was so upsetting
Starting point is 00:55:58 and like basically last night's episode was amon's villain origin story because he was a nice boy he was a nice boy he was a nice boy he was like the loser and then his cousins were so fucking mean to him that he's becoming Joffrey Baratheon and you know what that's what you get for being mean to your cousin right and like I think the eye patch is just gonna be his trademark villain thing but at least he has a dragon like it was worth it allegedly yeah I mean I do think it was worth it to him. The love I have in my heart for Rhaenyra's kids, like they're such fucking cute ass little fuckers.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Like I felt like that scene was so upsetting. And like they wanted to get down to the bottom of it. And nobody thought to ask Daemon's kids what happened. They were literally right there. The girls. Yeah. And they were defending their girls. like he's literally out here punching women not even women girls he's disgusting disgusting and he stole their mom's fucking dragon he was
Starting point is 00:56:53 about to kill one of the raniera kids with the rock yes yes no it was totally justified like the fact that he only lost an eye is a miracle when it was four against one yeah no he's really scary now scarier than ever especially like with allison activated but i scarier than agon like i thought agon was going to be problematic but agon's too much of like a reckless to be dangerous yeah i um i'm having a hard time with the passing of sir harwin maybe because i just watched that episode but like when when we cut to 10 years later and so this is two episodes ago and like Rhaenyra has her baby they go into the room where the other kids are and so you see like she has other kids and then there's that guy and he's like so handsome and it's like really
Starting point is 00:57:35 this modern family because Laenor is like passing the baby to Sir Harwin and it was just so gorgeous and I just it's all gone all of it is gone yes now we have we're in our Raymond era so maybe we'll get some love from all of them but like they were and when he was defending his son even though it's not his son and when they were playing in the pit like it was just beautiful nope because like when we met the new Rainier like her life was fucking miserable like she was Allison's like punching bag. But then to know she had this happiness with the man and the kids, like it was nice. It was nice. And then Allison and her big dumb moronic friend had to ruin it.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Scary. And he's going to take one of the kids eyes out now. Oh my God. I hate, I hate these people. No, I don't think he'll take one of the kids eyes out. But I think there is a debt that will be paid. He's going to enact revenge. He's going to enact revenge.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And I take back really all the bad things I said about the king, because you know what? Like the way he has not faulted, he has not changed who his heir is, the way he does not allow anyone to speak ill of his daughter, even though he knows there's truth to it. You know what? He's not a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:58:43 No, he's not. And I need him to get his health intact. He needs to start going to the gym, eating right, because he needs to chill. Well, now Rhaenyra is aligned with Daemon, so their claim is stronger. They'll probably have their own kids. And were they saying that Alicent's son
Starting point is 00:58:57 needs to marry Alicent's daughter? They will be getting married, yeah. Okay, and Viserys thought that Rhaenyra and Daemon getting married was so disgusting but just because of the age oh and she really needs to stop calling him uncle that she must do like right after they fucked she's like what is it but also you know what the end of the episode was what was the end of the episode what happened yeah london what was the end of the episode what happened yeah i did oh the four kids are gonna be siblings they're probably gonna that was cute because they were
Starting point is 00:59:30 all getting yeah they're all aligned they were holding hands at the funeral it was so cute those girls are good girls good and now they're all that their grandparents have yeah and so i think it's there's a lot of strength on that side but everyone needs to grow up a little all that their grandparents have so right they are the heirs and heiresses to valeria yep damon yeah also i think next episode jumps again because there's new like wearing the patch is a new actor how the fuck are we supposed to keep up i think that's it like i think it'll probably be like five years but the actors are a little more like adult looking not kids does rain era change damn just kids okay well there's also
Starting point is 01:00:21 like more episodes off your headphones because you thought I was going to give a spoiler what I said was exactly what it was I said there was three kids in the next episode but they all have lack of hair and how could Rayneera and Laenor have anything but silver hair so I knew that you know that was going to be the paternity
Starting point is 01:00:40 would be in question do you think that Rayneera and Damon have kids I do I hope the other things that I watched this weekend would be in question. Got it, got it. Do you think that Rayneira and Damon have kids? I do. Good, yeah. I hope. Okay, good. The other things that I watched this weekend were the first one I watched last night
Starting point is 01:00:51 was The Family Stone, which is like this classic holiday movie that I've apparently never seen. And it was so fucking good. Like I, first of all, you need to watch it. And basically like Carrie Bradshaw is just the worst in the movie. And like everyone in the family hates her.
Starting point is 01:01:03 She's like the new girlfriend of one of the brothers. And she comes in, it's just like horrible. And it's just like fabulous. Because she's acting so much like Carrie. And is just the worst in the movie and like everyone in the family hates her she's like the new girlfriend of one of the brothers and she comes in and it's just like horrible and it's just like fabulous because she's acting so much like Carrie and Carrie's fucking worse and that is exactly
Starting point is 01:01:11 like what would happen if Carrie went home to like someone's nice normal family and acted like Carrie that's funny so I just loved it and it was also like
Starting point is 01:01:18 sad too like I cried then the other thing I really wanted to talk about was everyone's been talking about this new Netflix movie, Do Revenge. They're saying it's like the new Mean Girls. I talked about it on the show too.
Starting point is 01:01:29 And I told you to watch it. Oh, oh, I don't even remember. I just said really quickly that I thought it was great and I loved it and I thought it was so well done. I didn't. I'll start with the positives, which was that Cami Mendes was sensational. Like she looked amazing. She did amazing.
Starting point is 01:01:42 It was such a good movie. That plot twist, I was not expecting. Like it was just really good. It was beautifully shot. The clothes, the Miami backdrop. Like it was really stunning. And then when me and Ben finished it, like we were talking, we were like,
Starting point is 01:01:57 did you think it was weird that like the villain was like unnecessarily wearing like a Jewish star necklace the whole time? And I was like, I couldn't tell if I was like being a Karen, like reaching or if it was like legitimately problematic. So I just started to research and like see if anyone was talking about it. And I ended up reading a lot about it. And the more things that were pointed out to me by the, like the articles I was reading, the more I realized how fucked up it was. Like the first thing is that the movie is very loosely
Starting point is 01:02:23 based off of this book, Strangers on a Train, which was written by like a very proud anti-Semite. Also, the book is referenced in the movie. Like I think, what was her name? The freak, her friend. Cami Mendez's friend, Nora. She was reading it at one point as like a hark back to like the plot of the movie
Starting point is 01:02:47 being loosely based off of this book. So that's just like a kind of weird thing to do. And then the more I thought about like the villain being the Jew, when no one else, it wasn't a religious film. They didn't go to a religious school. I didn't know what religion anybody else was. But them to make it like so obvious
Starting point is 01:03:03 that the villain was Jewish, like felt so problematic to me, like so obvious that the villain was Jewish like felt so problematic to me especially because like he was villainous because he was like sneaky manipulative rich politically um connected persuasive politically influential like when he you know writes off one girl he was like well there goes your dad's senate career so just like him saying that like him his character being based off of like all of these anti-semitic tropes while wearing a jewish star necklace like i officially deem the movie anti-semitic and i and i didn't want to i totally agree i didn't notice he was wearing a jewish star necklace while i was watching otherwise i would
Starting point is 01:03:39 have like oh and then he's using like jewish terms he's like at the end he was like oh i'm felling this is so cute like stop oh shit i didn't see any of that my tv in my new house is a little far away from my bed so i do miss some details um and i and i didn't want to i didn't want to give it the official anti-semitic seal of approval because i liked it me and ben loved it no i really liked it you're 100% right there's anti-semitic undertones and actually overtones and it's officially anti-semitic and we actually even though we joke a lot we actually don't really like you say that lightly no it's really fucking anti-semitic and a lot of what I read like I wasn't sure whether I wanted to like decide
Starting point is 01:04:23 in my head no and you don't want it to be like you want to oh maybe no no that's not that bad uh because the movie's great otherwise because the movie's great and people pointed out to me in my dms the actor who plays the Jewish villain is Jewish the director is Jewish I don't fucking care it's still anti-semitic and Jews can be anti-semitic and they could also be like oblivious to anti-semitism other people that they're playing into and that they just like want to be a part of something right so the thing that i saw that like perfectly summed it up um because people are like well why can't a villain be jewish and like a villain can totally be Jewish. But like when there's one person representing a minority and then that one person is the villain,
Starting point is 01:05:09 like that's problematic. And then I was thinking like, if it was a movie about all white kids and the one black character was the villain, like that's fucked up. Yeah. And the villain is being villainous in a way that's harping on all of these stereotypes.
Starting point is 01:05:23 And it's playing on all those stereotypes. And micro and macro aggressions that are out there about Jews or whatever particular minority it would have been. Right. And the article I read was like, imagine if, I would be like, that's fucking weird. Like what, the one character who's black is the villain? Like I would think that too.
Starting point is 01:05:46 So it really pissed me off. And I was so upset because like when I tell you I liked the movie but like an hour and Ben paused to pee and we realized we had another hour left I was like you know what I like I liked it but I was like we don't have to finish it Ben was like no I love it like Ben loved it you're crazy that you just would watch a movie that you like and not even I know I know it was just too long like movies over an hour and a half should be tv shows no I think the opposite there's so many tv shows that should just be movies like I sometimes I only have two hours and like if it's a good movie I want more of it so I like a long movie every scene was you know delightful it was beautiful I learned what I learned. And the music was incredible.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Yep. It was very TikTok inspired. Yeah, no, the wardrobe was amazing. But unfortunately, it's going to be a no. I know. I was like, really? Me and Ben were like, we could not stop talking about it. We were like, what?
Starting point is 01:06:39 It's so upsetting. It's so upsetting, especially because like, it's not like there was a big swastika and it was like death to the Jews. It was so subtle and It's so upsetting, especially because like, it's not like there was a big swastika and it was like death to the Jews. It was so subtle and like trying to like almost subliminally message people that like Jews are bad. Like I feel like I would have been less offended, dead ass, if there was a big ass swastika in the middle.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Cause obviously that's anti-Semitic. But the fact that like I had to mull over and be like, is it anti-Semitic? And the fact that because it was so subtle no one's gonna talk about it um right surprised you even found like articles I know I was just surprised too Daily Mail and Newsweek yeah so that's upsetting you know it's not gonna be talked about it's not gonna there's not gonna be any controversy with the movie it's gonna go to go on to do great things. Right. And this will just be snowballing. A footnote.
Starting point is 01:07:27 No. And like people will just continue to watch it. Continue to get that messaging. And not think twice about it. I know. I was like so upset. And I hate to like you know. Always be complaining.
Starting point is 01:07:39 But ABC. Always be complaining. Yeah. No. I would have preferred for this movie to not be anti-Semitic. Same. When I didn't ever see the Jewish star, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Starting point is 01:07:47 The thing is, like all they had to do was take the necklace off. All they had to do was take the necklace off. And he could have just been like a rich, annoying white kid. All they had to do
Starting point is 01:07:57 was take the necklace off. But they put it on. And they put it on in the final scene where he was being particularly villainous and not wearing a shirt. So it was literally
Starting point is 01:08:04 the only thing you saw. I miss that. Honestly, my bed is really far away from my TV now. Zach said we need a bigger TV, but I thought he was being dramatic. No, maybe I do. So that's what I watched this weekend, and yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Yeah, oh, I watched a little SNL. Oh, thank you so much for bringing that up. So did I. Miles Teller was like his Peyton Manning in the opening sketch was so funny um I did fall asleep towards the very end like after weekend update so I missed probably like the last one or two I only watched like four sketches because I just wanted to get the tone I wanted to hear his monologue and then I think the first sketch that came on was actually really funny so I kept watching so out of the four that I watched there was one that was so funny and that was the be real bank robbery like that is like really was funny comedic perfection timely relevant what everyone's
Starting point is 01:08:56 talking about and like making a really funny joke out of it like I thought that that's what SNL like should be doing and then yeah it was just perfect honestly I did have one issue with SNL part mostly I tuned in to see Miles Teller my boyfriend but I also tuned in to see if they were going to address the Jake Novak of it all because like while they were off break this story blew up on TikTok about the kid I've spoken about it I won't get into it again and I wanted to see maybe they would bring him out on Weekend Update maybe do like a little sketch a cover of the song like something even in that first sketch when they were like talking about SNL sketches, they had like someone come out as the corn kid.
Starting point is 01:09:27 They could have had someone come out as. Yeah, they did the corn kid. So I was like, oh my God, they're going to do it. And they didn't, which was disappointing, mostly because I wish they would have. But also because like a thought that I had was like, it's very clear that they take a lot of inspiration from TikTok, like a lot that I had was like it's very clear that they take a lot of inspiration from TikTok like a lot of their content and I thought that was really obvious with the Nicole Kidman AMC thing so I didn't see that one so Nicole Kidman you know when you go to the movies and before they play
Starting point is 01:09:55 um AMC has this like new one with Nicole Kidman we come here for magic and it's like it blew up on TikTok people were like recreating it in the theaters it was so funny because it's like it blew up on TikTok. People were like recreating it in the theaters. It was so funny because it's like it's so random and she's like taking it so seriously. Like we come here to live. And people on TikTok blew it up and they basically just made like a high budget, high production value TikTok and it was almost like literally stealing the idea from TikTok.
Starting point is 01:10:19 So like you're going to lean in so heavy to TikTok and not address the Jake Novak of it all. Like bring Jake Novak out. Like give him a shot. Like he auditioned for your show and it ruined his fucking life. The Charmin Bears sketch when they danced to About Damn Time. Is that a TikTok dance? Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:33 And they use the choreography. I wonder if they paid the girls who made it up. Probably not. But that's another TikTok moment. Yeah. And I'm glad that they're like at least moving into the 21st century. Yeah. And I'm glad that they're like at least moving into the 21st century. But like, I don't know, it felt like the greatest, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:55 what is supposed to be like the peak of entertainment and comedy on television. It's like taking notes from teenagers on that. And also I didn't watch the whole episode. But from what I saw, like there are so many things that are just like happening. Everything is like such a joke. And there's so much spotter out there right now to like actually make fun of and instead like I'm seeing two bros who don't know how to flirt at the bar being stupid like yeah also the opening sketch like was Trump and they really like they've beat the horse dead like it's enough it's not even funny anymore like I feel like you know Trump like definitely
Starting point is 01:11:25 exists but like he's not on social media like I feel like I never hear about him except on SNL like they're obsessed and when I think they like and it's not funny no it's not funny I think that was kind of like the point of the sketch let's see what they do next week but like for every like for the last few years every opening sketch is like a Mitch McConnell Nancy Pelosi Trump and it's like I get it like there's political things happening and like it's a show that's supposed to make fun of what's going on in the world but like they've gotta switch it up. No there's other players that are ripe for making fun of and like it's time. No I'm like girly it's been three years since the man has been president like we haven't even heard from him in three years like
Starting point is 01:12:03 he's not on social media like I'm like it doesn't feel relevant anymore because it's just like they're like too obvious yeah like I feel like it's it's like time's up on that joke so it was good I love to see Miles he's so handsome and so talented and like really extra handsome especially in those pictures that they like run yes and one of them was like a slow video and he's like turning and smiling and I was like yeah I also think um he brought his acting chops like he wasn't reading from cue cards he memorized the lines he was being like a real actor so I was like believing what he was selling he was amazing no he's the perfect host because he's so beloved and he's also an actor and he's funny and he obviously is an SNL file
Starting point is 01:12:45 from that home video that we saw yes oh that was so really cute and he's really like America's sweetheart currently so what better place for America's sweetheart than in all of our televisions in all of our homes I can't believe that was his first time hosting I would have thought he would have done it um I also loved the call out that like they couldn't get Jon Hamm or Tom Cruise. So they went with Miles and Miles as Peyton was like, well, I also heard that the host never makes an appearance
Starting point is 01:13:11 in the opening sketch. So it was very funny, very meta. I liked that a lot. Me too. And the new castmates, I didn't really see a lot of them, but they did good.
