Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to The Toast and happy, oh my god, Thursday. We made it to like almost the end of the week. Congratulations, everyone. We are celebrating with one of my favorite people in the world. It's Taylor Strecker. Hey, girl, hey. Ooh.

Thank you. I went right from the nostril. I'm the only one allowed to sing on this show. No kidding. That's a lie. I've watched Ben sing. Yeah, it bothers me. I watched Jackie sing. Jackie's sing on this show. No kidding. That's a lie. I've watched Ben sing. Yeah, it bothers me. I watched Jackie sing.

Jackie's not threatening. Her voice is horrible. You actually have a good voice. Therefore, like you're coming for my brand. Fun fact about Taylor Strecker. She has like an incredible singing voice. We talked about last time I was on about my, how ashamed I was. Of your karaoke.

Of my performance. And I told everybody they could go to my Patreon. And watch it. Our duets on there. Oh god I can I can't ever watch my drunk performances. We should do duets together. You like have such a good singing voice and I feel like for the first many years of being your friend, I didn't know that about you. It's a secret.

Are you like embarrassed? You know what it is? When I was younger I... Stage fright? I was Annieie not to brag annie yeah i had to cut my hair and dye it was bonfire red community theater or where in school and it was like a local production community um community community theater daddy warbucks was 17 i was 12 i had braces they were raging but, I honestly actually looked really good with red hair. And maybe I should consider.

Wait, you really committed to the role. Why didn't you just put on a wig? I did. I kept itching. So you shaved and dyed your hair? Well, I cut it here. And then I tried to curl it. And they were like, the curls.

And I was like, I'm not cutting my hair like the little Dutch boy on the paint can. That is such a commitment to the theater. The fact that you didn't further pursue theater is shocking to me because that's a level that somebody who takes theater seriously would do. I'm a thespian and a lesbian. Well, that's the truth. I actually put a timer on.

I was like, how long into the episode are we either going to talk about lesbianism or Ozempic? And you made it a whole two minutes. Thanks. Thank you so much. I'm so proud of you. Are we going to also talk about Ozempic? And you made it a whole two minutes. Thanks. Thank you so much. I'm so proud of you. Are we going to also talk about Ozempic? Well, of course.

I chose a story today that has to do with Ozempic. We actually have great stories today, which I'm really excited about. Some thought-provoking stuff. We actually have two Britney Spears stories. And Britney is not someone we really, like, follow deeply. And I understand why. It's a little... It's sad.

Sad, yes. It's chaotic. Yes. It's confusing. And I feel like half the things we're told are not true so it's like what's the point in getting invested when we're being fed lies it's the most confusing but I feel like you're like a big Britney follower I am I actually got tickets to her concert when I was in college so I was like that's like a real fan like high

school's like you can be fans of everybody it's true but like to get your parents to like give you the money like when you're younger like to have your parents drive you you have to be like so dedicated that your parents are like we have to get this bitch a ticket but also it's like in high school it's like what the fuck else are you doing so you're like a concert I always think like what was I doing in high school actually I went to a Jewish day school which was dual curriculum so I was in school from eight to five that's insane I know and now like when I work I'm like so tired after a few hours. I'm like, how did I do this as a young lad? Young lad. I don't know.

Oh, thank you for reminding me. I wanted to ask you something. Please. There might be like an accusatory tone to my voice. And it's because I'm accusing you of something. One of my favorite things about you as a person, as a friend, and as a podcast host is your laugh. You have the best laugh. Where am I going to get angry at that at that and you also you don't hold it

like you don't withhold it from people you laugh at people no matter how funny how big how small the joke you laugh you make me feel so funny you are so funny and I thought that was like an exclusive to me thing oh no I was scrolling tiktok last night and I one of your podcast clips came up you were podcasting with I think two other people oh yes girls gotta eat they were talking yes and my god you were cackling cackle cackle cackle cackle like that nice raspy cackle that you have and i was like wait a damn minute i thought you really thought like i was that really hysterical wait a second psycho i do think you're that funny. You honestly. No, but you give that laugh to everyone. It doesn't feel special now. That is not true. It sounds like I'm accusatory. You are being aggressive. I'm accusing. Abusive. Yeah. It's hilarious. Listen, I love to laugh. I know.

It's one of your best qualities. I have been accused of like fake laughing and that's not true. That's not what I was accusing you of. Thank you. I don't think you were fake laughing. Honestly, I just think you have like a low bar for comedy now. Like not that they weren't funny. They were funny. I'm just saying I thought like your crazy laugh like was just a me thing.

They were being funny. Like I'm not saying this is not a slight against your fellow co-hosts. I also laugh at thyself. You do. I am hilarious and I crack myself up on the regular. It was just like hard for me. Imagine like you're scrolling TikTok and something that's so intimate. Like it would be like you saw me talking about Ozembic with something with someone else. It's intimate. And I just wanted to like, I wanted to come on here and ask you like,

are you, you know, putting it on for me? Are you faking with with me I am not faking a laugh orgasm with you I think you okay a lot of people make me laugh but you make me laugh the hardest it's like one of the rudest things anybody's ever said but I love you for it and thank you for lying to me you're an amazing friend no you really are so funny and like because it's somebody who also like has to be funny for their job. Right. It's quite, it can be intimidating. Yeah.

Cause like, especially like, I mean, here you make me laugh, but like also when we're not doing our jobs the way, I mean, you're never not on. We are funny. You're never not on. You're hilarious. By the way, you are so funny and you're my favorite type of funny because like when we're FaceTiming or just like having dinner, you are not trying to be funny. and you're my favorite type of funny because like when we're FaceTiming

or just like having dinner, you are not trying to be funny. You are so naturally, like physically and conversationally funny. That's why I'm always telling you to get into standup. You are really like a very natural funny person. This wasn't meant to be a compliment.

But we always do. This wasn't meant to be a compliment, fast I was yelling at you. But see what I did? That's so Taylor Stricker. I Jedi yelling at you. But see what I did? That's so Taylor Schreiber. I Jedi mind tricked you. You're so Taylor Schreiber. I'm just like sunshine and light and love.

I'm so happy you're here for a multitude of reasons. You know how much. Like every time you ask me, you're like, I'm sorry. I feel like it's such a big ask for you to come into the city in the morning. I don't care. Get all dressed up. I figured it out in the last three weeks. Taylor was 12 minutes early today.

And we started early. We started early because of that and the city is on fire because of UN General Assembly and the president is in town. Every street is closed. It's fucking torture.

I'm glad I missed like half of it while I was in Florida. So I figured, I was expecting you to be late and I myself was running a little behind. I take the subway

like a plebe. You are so committed to your craft. Thank you. Now the other reason I'm really excited that you're here is because you were here last week and I love podcasting with you and I always rewatch our episodes. I actually did not rewatch our episode. And you can attest to this.

What? Last week? Last week. You were spiraling. I was really not okay. As the episode progressed, I'm getting worse and worse. My stomach is like really hurting me. Yes.

And I'm starting to like not feel great. And I've been been like I've had a cold for like the last week I don't have COVID I took a test everybody being like you have COVID you're spreading I didn't I took a test um but I started to like deteriorate over the course of the hour-long podcast that by the time we ended I was like wrapping up so quickly you can attest I ran out of the studio yes poop like it's called the fever like it was coming over me it's the dia fever it was coming over me yes and I just felt like I didn't do a good job I like wasn't listening to you and then we like we posted this picture and everybody was like oh my god Taylor looks amazing and I'm standing there being like I put my makeup on and got dressed too and I even tried like a little extra hard because you always come in

stunting on these hoes so I tried like a little extra hard outfit wise nobody commented a single word that is not true because i posted it in feed on my you did because you look so great hello and i look so average i'm not you didn't look at i did i did nobody was like so many people lies no they were all about you you are both so gorgeous listen no they were all about you so today i so gorgeous listen no they were all about you so today i got you know what today i had the time today i put on my hermes belt my aritzia pants i flat ironed my motherfucking hair i'm sick of you coming in here on my show and showing me up even though you still look better than me today that is not true nine inch stilettos and your blazer i mean red bottom bitch oh shit i'm wearing ugly ass vince camuto vince camuto while she's wearing a little bit tall wait

remember when i can't walk in these fyi they're just for show i understand um remember when we were at surf lodge okay and my sister-in-law made a comment about everybody wearing free people and claudia was like my whole outfit i'm wearing free people literally free people and i loved it like she was like no no it's not like a bad thing yeah she was like why is like everybody wearing free people like she was like ragging on free people and then it took me a second to realize my shirt and my matching shorts or from free people and i'm like Ashley, what the fuck are you trying to say, bitch? What the fuck are you trying to say? Her face.

And she was like, no, like, free people. Like, I wasn't saying it like that. And I'm like, okay, Ashley. Eat my ass, bitch. Grab a fork and eat it. So I just wanted to clarify why I was excited to be here and why I look absolutely beautiful. You look stunning.

You look like a lady who lunches. You look, we are so beautiful. I'm business Barbie. You're a lady who lunch Barbie. I'm like Labor Day Barbie. And this whole like no wearing white. It's bullshit. What are your thoughts on that?

They say you can't wear white after Labor Day, even though summer doesn't typically end for about 20 days after Labor Day. Like, summer is over September 21st. Literally. Oh, shit. Today. Literally today. Okay, first of all, you are in cream, aka winter white. Okay.

You could wear this in the dead of winter with a boot, with a brown boot. That's really nice, but like, it's white. No, it's not. It's like ivory. I almost wore a white, white puffy shirt, and I was like, it's like the end of summer. I'm going to look ridiculous. Oh, are you saying I look ridiculous? No.

These are treacherous waters today. I'm like incredibly insecure today. Oh my God. I don't know what it is. Like I thought the Ozambic would bring out like my fiercer side. Yes. But actually, and let's talk about this for real. Okay.

Yes. I'm, I'm, I'm ready for this because I'm going to post it. Confidence and fierceness like pre-ozempic and post let's talk about it okay so well I've heard you talk on the patreon about like your journey which gave me like even more insight to your ozempic fifis than I ever even knew but like to hear it like I was crying like BRB crying sobbing when I listened to it because the way that you were like I was so confident before and now like I'm feeling insecure which like blew my mind because like your confidence has always been my most the most inspiring thing about you in our friendship like I'm like I want to be confident like Claudia like

I literally am obsessed with it yeah thank you so but then to hear that the ozempic made you like less confident first of all it was confusing yeah it is Britneyney spears confusing yeah britney spears confusing bsc but but then also known as celebrity but then i just like i'm very related to it or no no because well i was so deeply insecure before and i have been so deeply insecure my whole life yeah and now's the first time that i'm like we're usually right in step on our feelings and so we were having opposite total departure I feel the most confident I've ever felt but then my producer Heva sent me a clip for Taste of Taylor because Taste of Taylor comes out today check it out Taste of Taylor who's on it my friend Nicole from college so we were like always talking about your friend Nicole college

besties yeah roommates worked it serious together so like we go like back into the trenches we talk about like skinny dicks that we fucked right we go in but I look hideous in this video and I was like I need to get a facelift I need to get like um what's that I got it Kybella but not Kybella the other one I heard it doesn't work Kybella I went to the plastic surgeon to get Kybella and she was like, I actually really do not recommend. It's 50% of people don't have actual results and it's incredibly painful. But she had a procedure that she recommended, which is what I ended up getting called the natural neck lift.

Maybe I'll connect you with Dr. Gizzi if you want to get it. I know a lot of people who have gotten it. I want it. At the same time. And then I think a lot of people got it at Dr. Gheese because I went. She told me like she does it all the time now. And she said- Did you have to like go under?

No, no. It's a Valium. Excuse her? Yeah. It works? Yeah. Could she put me down? By the way, Olivia Oshry will tell you the story.

I should have her come on the podcast and tell the story. She escorted me to the surgery. I'm dead. And I'm sitting in the doctor's office, not the OR room yet. And they give me the Valium and it starts to hit. And like, I'm in heaven. Like, I was cackling.

Me and Olivia were having such a good time. Olivia goes to sit in the waiting room. I go all the way back to the operating room. She has an operating room in her office. And Olivia hears blood curdling screams. No. They numb you, by the way. So I did not feel a thing, but I was awake.

So I could hear like the clanging of metals. I could hear like cuts. Sucking. You could hear cuts? And I was screaming. Olivia was like, what is going on back there? Do you have a recollection of it? Yes.

No! Yeah, briefly. And then she gave me more and she was like listen this is the most i can give you we're not in a hospital like this like you just have to just grin and bear it no no no like i tell you taylor the results okay were worth double the pain will you come with me yeah of course can you like can i vlog it yes by the way i'll sit in okay then then i'm in i'm in but But wait, we were having a more important conversation. Oh, about confidence.

Confidence. So we're having opposite sort of journeys. Well, no, not as of last night. I'm like, fuck, now I'm insecure again. Well, that's the thing about being a person on camera or just anyone who's ever had a photo or video taken of themselves. Sometimes you will see a photo of yourself,

whether it be, you know, candid or staged. Yep. And it will truly alter the ground in which you walk on. It is a life earth shattering moment where you're like, it's holy shit. It's. Is that what I look like? Masochistic to have a job on camera. But then there's other moments where it's like, you'll see a photo of yourself and you'll

be like, is that what I look like? Okay. Or you'll be like, is that what I look like okay or you'll be like is that what I look like it's never like that's what I look like it's either you're in shock or last week in my denim outfit or you have a deluded sense of self like and you've been wrong this whole time so but the thing though and I know this because I've lived a long time because I'm old as fuck but I remember that I did this video with Cosmo way back in the day. And when I watched it, I was like, I'm hideous. But now if you go and watch it.

Now I go and I'm like, hello, cute as a button. Yeah. So there's a thing where it's like, I have to take a beat because in my immediate reaction to how I look is usually terrible. I know. Unless it's like me in a, you know, Canadian tuxedo last week. Let me say, I think if I had to think about it, like really, and this might not be like an exact reflection of my feelings, but it's just a guess. I think my, and I'm still like a really confident person,

but I think now having lost so much weight, like people, when you're overweight, like people just completely disregard you. Like you are not considered in any real way. Um, so it's easy to like live in your own world. You're really in your own lane and it's very easy to be confident when you're in, you know, a party of one of one but then when you lose weight you start being compared to everyone else like you're actually considered as a human being and now I feel like I'm up against other people and that's harder for me to be the most confident person in the room wow I feel totally opposite yes go I felt like I was on an island of one and everybody could see me that's what it felt like and that made you feel bad and also like let's get real like my wife is tall and thin her

sisters are like tall honestly being in a lesbian relationship like don't that has to add another element of like female I want to say almost like competition ever a million percent you guys get dressed for the night are you always like oh shit she looks better than me I have psychotic breakdowns over it oh my god I've literally never once thought about Ben's outfit like in regards to mine oh my god I remember there was one time we were I was going to the VMAs I was walking is this white dress white dress but it was titties we had saggy just become friends during the white dress saga oh my god and I have to say your VMA white red dress saga has to be one of the funniest, most Taylor Strucker things ever.

I remember we had just met like maybe like a year before. Yeah. We weren't like super tight, but we had met a bunch of times and like I really liked you and I followed you on Instagram and I saw she was getting ready for the VMAs. I'm like, oh my God, how exciting. And I'm like literally following the stories and she has two dresses. Yep. Will she wear the white one or will she wear the red one?

She tries them both on. She does a pull. And it's like so clear that the red dress is the better option. Oh my God. I literally did that pull. It's so much more flattering. You look snatched. It's just a better dress.

And I thought, I'm like, she's just, you know, making content because there's no way she's going to wear the white one. So you know what's crazy? Cut to her picture of her on the carpet, white dress. I was just making content knowing I was gonna wear the white one and then my parents like did the ultimate sinful thing as parents you wanted to automatically wear the white i was into the white one i thought that the red one was too like i'm going to the white house gala well the white fucking well the white one was too much i'm going to a gentleman's club but it's's the VMAs. It wasn't your best look.

It wasn't. No kidding. And then I did this severe pony with like this sad little rat tail in the back. It was a disaster. But I was feeling insecure. And my parents were like, the red one is more flattering, which I'm like, you know what that does to me? No, the word flattering from a parent means you look thinner.

Yeah, you look flubby, schlubby in the other one. And I'm already in the limo. I was like, you guys, you're so stupid. Yeah, no, a parent should know. Once you're off, you're off and you just send them off with confidence. So I had a full meltdown in the white limo, which was like, why am I in a white limo? Extremely tacky. And Tay was there and I asked Tay, please don't wear heels.

Please wear flats because I already feel insecure. And you are already so much taller than me so you even taller she's like a lumpkin tree trunk yes I understand and she was like okay okay and then right before we were leaving she was like nope and she grabbed heels and I was like you selfish piece of shit I berated her the entire ride and then she didn't even end up coming on the red carpet with me she was so battered by you yeah so battered and abused that's such an interesting element of being in a relationship it's really hard honestly i do there are a lot of things about lesbianism that i think

are envious like you have a built-in best friend cycle sisters like so many things but that is not one of them is not something i envy at all it happened before jackie's wedding too and we all know what happened at jackie's wedding oh you guys were like fighting about outfits? You share clothes? I threw my Chanel on the ground and the next day Karl Lagerfeld died. Coincidence? I don't think so. Definitely not. I killed Karl Lagerfeld. That's something you have to live with and Karl unfortunately won't. Do you guys share clothes? No. Because that could be like a fun like thing about lesbian. No it's triggering. We used to and i said i can't anymore i had this amazing of course zara navy blue jumpsuit high-waisted halter low low back

i'm short so i would like belt it right like it wasn't ideal but whatever and then one day was like panicked for a wedding she was like i need to wear something i was like oh wear that and when she came out i was like oh that's how it's supposed to fit oh that's tough that's tough no so i said it's far too triggering. I'm too insecure. I can't. I really, I just can't. I can't see you in the clothes that I love.

Also, that no longer fit me. Well, that's the thing is like, I never have to like, you know, size out of clothes, which happens to me all the time and then have Ben wear it. Like that would be hard. It's really, sometimes it happens with my sisters. Yes. But sisters is different. Cause like if your sister looks good and like you're getting

her ready for an event or something like you really just want her to look good and your feelings don't matter. Exactly. There was one time that Tay was in Cannes. I had this adorable bikini and like it's very hard for me to find bathing suits that fit. Yeah. And a string bikini never in my life. Wow.

Look at you. So well it wasn't fitting and she was in Cannes for work and she took a picture of herself in a bikini on the beach which like first of all is egregious it's just hurtful like so it was like thirsty and also like insensitive not the thirsty and she was wearing my bikini and i was mad that she took a picture and felt good about herself yeah because i'm psychotic yeah but what i made it about was like so you took my bikini without asking me. That's very sister of you. We fight about clothes the way sisters do. That is like one of the great traumas of my childhood

was like taking a shirt from Jackie Olivia Margot and like seeing them in school and then being like, literally like forcing me into the bathroom being like, take it off. I'm like, well, what the fuck am I supposed to wear? They're like, take it off right now. And like literally like snitching on me.

I mean, we all did it to each other. It wasn't like I was some victim each other what would you do when you have to take it off i you wouldn't actually but like there would be a moment where i'd be like wait are you really asking me to take my fucking pants off in school you mean my pants right yes you mean my pants you mean my pants oh i would have made you walk around in your like saggy granny panty oh my god and then like sometimes if you got away with it like if you were I was in middle school and like Jackie was in high school so we were in different buildings oh she wouldn't see me wearing the shirt and like I would get home and like run and race and put it away you would get away with it and then like a week later like somebody would put like a mobile uploads photo of you on Facebook wearing the shirt and like Jackie be like is that my shirt and they should always leave a nasty comment being like my shirt

yeah you would social media it's the best way to punish someone yeah for stealing we can never get away with that in this day and age because people like upload instagram stories in real time yes it would always be like a week later somebody would do like a dump of their mobile uploads album on facebook and you would literally and you would forget because you got away with it you'd be like oh i'm scott free but then you never always forget about the mobile uploads my sister and i literally got into the worst fight of our life over my mom's uggs I strangled her and we broke the bathroom door wow so you know were you guys physical fighters as sisters not until this point I was like oh in my late 20s and she was in her early 20s it was like not okay when we were young we were very like we would like our house

like it was like a slap we wouldn't like punch and kick it was always a slap. We wouldn't like punch and kick. It was always a slap on the arm or like wherever we could get them. We used to call it a frosk, which I think means like punch in Yiddish. And like, we would be like, I'll give you such a frosk. Wait, who was the most violent? Olivia.

Because she was the strongest. Olivia was definitely like the most tactile. And oldest. And oldest. So she kind of of she really was the ruler of us like if no one else was around like we had to defer to Olivia like that's just how we grew up respecting like the eldest right and she definitely like was on a power trip because of it and honestly she was the most physically strong uh-huh but maybe I would say like I was

the most reckless with my slaps like she would dole them out like when necessary but if you got a slap from Olivia like hospital hospital she was she's a very strong girl and I was just kind of like nuts and careless with my frost yeah chaotic energy ginger spice energy oh I wanted to kind of like address some rumors and I'm glad that you're here because you can um you can uh speak to them directly okay I've been seeing some people being like what's going on with Claudia and Brian I haven't like I actually haven't seen Brian he was traveling all summer I spoke to him the other day but like I literally have not seen him physically maybe in two months the internet is so turnt and then we um you went to dinner with Brian yes and I think people thought like wow the crew is getting smaller they're leaving Claudia out.

And let me just say. Claudia doesn't want to go to. I was invited to the dinner. I had a family Shabbat dinner that night. And I could have, yes, I could have. Shabbat dinner was early. I could have then met you guys. But I really wasn't going to meet you guys at that vegan restaurant. Like that to me is just like not worth my time.

Vegan Michelin star. Your two least favorite things on the face of the planet. Right. I was like, no, you guys go. And then I saw the stories. I'm like, oh my God, no offense. Like that food literally looks horrible. I would never have,

I would not have eaten one more soul of food. You wouldn't have. We talked about it at dinner. Was there a bread basket? We talked about it at dinner, yes. Was there? But the butter was like sunflower oil butter. Oh my God.

Oh, because it's vegan. Exactly. I'm so glad. So now I just want to clear the air and Taylor, can I tell us, like me and Brian are good. We had like a two hour FaceTime like two nights ago. Wait, you're going to die. I totally forgot about this. I got a text like, I don so glad. So I just want to clear the air and Taylor can I tell us like me and Brian are good. We had like a two hour FaceTime like two nights ago. Wait, you're going to die.

I totally forgot about this. I got a text like, I don't know, I guess like two weeks ago at this point from Jackie Schimmel. And she was like, we are in a fight? I would love to know why. And I was like, people thought that you and I on my podcast, Taste of Taylor, when we were talking about Ozempic, we were, I was talking specifically about an influencer. I know that I love, but that like match it about Ozempic and people just immediately like I don't even think Jackie even talks about Ozempic I want to say a few things one I actually don't even know who you're talking about I meant to ask you after we stopped

recording but we had dinner and you definitely don't know this person okay a million percent so one uh you'll have to tell me that after. Two, I never for a second thought it was Jackie Schimmel. I love Jackie Schimmel. I think if anything, if Jackie Schimmel was the type of person who struggled with her weight,

which I just think she's one of those God-given queens who doesn't, I think she would be the first person in line for Ozempic. Oh my God.

And I haven't heard her say a single bad word about it. Not one thing. But I think if she was asked about it. And even if she did, I honestly wouldn't care. No, but even if she was asked, if she was asked about it, just based on what I know about her, I think she would like be all about it. Not one thing. But I think if she was asked about it. And even if she did I honestly wouldn't care. No but even if she was asked if she was asked about it just based on

what I know about her I think she would like be all for it. I agree. Okay so you wanted to clear that up too. Well yeah so like but the internet it's crazy. The internet loves like friendships. Yep. Ending. No and then like. Psychotically obsessed actually. That makes me like self-conscious because I'm really not like a great friend in the sense where I'm like, we're going to have lunch once a week and we'll always stay in touch. Who is? No, it's like there have been months that go by where I don't physically see you, but we talk all the time.

Yes, it breaks my heart. And having like the internet chime in, I'm like, oh my God, I need to be like a better friend. I literally didn't see Brian all summer. Summer was crazy. No, and Brian is like literally the world. I didn't see you all summer. Brian said world's number one traveler.

We all hung out July 4th weekend. And then i don't think i saw any of you physically no since then except you and i to work yes of course and brian also doesn't live in the state anymore literally he has a farm so if i want to see him i have to drive 90 minutes you gotta shut up you know what we should do a weekend where we go apple picking well by the way like we are doing that but you're not here for um dean's first birthday right you're not well now the internet's gonna think I'm not friends. With Dean. You know what?

They'd be correct. Dean is my number one arch enemy. Honestly, ever since Dean like started that stuff with you on July 4th weekend, it's been kind of different in the friend group.

Keep in mind, everyone, Dean is one years old. But he knows what he did. He is so, so pointed. He's kind of manipulative. He's cunning. Yeah, he's kind of manipulative. He's cunning. Yeah he's kind of manipulative. Very hurtful. Very hurtful. Pointed. I just wanted to clear that up. I feel good about it. And now we can move on with our lives.

Even though my closet was overflowing with clothes, I felt like I had never had anything to wear. Then I found Quince and have finally given my closet the upgrade that we both desperately

needed. I built out a capsule wardrobe with iconic pieces that can be styled for any occasion. I have to say the pieces I've gotten from Quinn's have completely changed my wardrobe. I learned on TikTok about like a capsule wardrobe where every piece you have can be worn multiple ways. You invest in really good things as opposed to like you know a bunch of like you spend like a lot of money on a ton of clothes that are like cheap. You invest in good pieces and it will transform your wardrobe because you can wear them so many different ways. And Quince is perfect for that. They create timeless classics that will never go out of style. You'll have them in your closet forever. And that

makes putting together an outfit way easier. Quince has all the capsule wardrobe must-haves, like 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters from $50, suede and leather jackets, and silk blouses and dresses. And the best part is that all Quince items are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. Because they partner with top factories, they can cut out the cost of the middleman and pass the savings on to us. And Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes, which we love. I also love the pieces that I've gotten from there.

I have this amazing cashmere sweater that I have worn so many different times but like you wouldn't notice because I style it differently every time. I also got a great pair of black trousers that I haven't been able to wear yet because they're more like fall. I'm going to start wearing them soon on the toast and I just feel like they're going to be my go-to pant for the season and I'm really excited about it.

First one. I'm excited to talk about this because I saw it a few days ago and I didn't choose it because it seemed so silly to me. But now there's much more to understand. Okay. So I had seen this headline that Whoopi Goldberg has been defending Hasan Minhaj and his right to embellish stand-up stories.

Yes. She said, why would comics tell exactly what happened? It's not that interesting. And that's a headline that I saw and I completely agreed. Yes.

I was like, oh, I guess it's come out that like Hasan has been like embellishing details of certain stories he tells on stage. And I can't even believe that this is like a controversy

because first of all, same, like everyone does that of course it's you know just a comics tell from their own lives and these stories that are really crazy but when you when it comes time to making jokes like you embellish like small details yes people said just to make it funnier for the audience of course although I will say my set for Stassi's tour was a hundred percent based in truth in truth like and that's it's I honestly sometimes should just be like yeah I made it up I said to my mom to make her feel

better of course but I didn't of course I did not so I didn't even think the story was really worth discussing but then I actually saw a video that explained the entire saga and it's a little bit deeper than Whoopi saying oh we all comics embellish okay so there were a few incidents that Hasan Minhaj has become under fire for it and if you're not familiar with Hasan Minhaj he's a huge stand-up comedian he has Netflix specials he has uh he's the replacement for uh Trevor Noah on the Daily Show oh shit he's like major okay so what he's being accused of is like a little deeper than just you know I. I'm embellishing. Yeah. So there are a few stories that have, you know, that he told on stage that have come

out as not being true. And the stories that he is telling are incidents where he experienced racism, which I think people are a little kerfuffled by because there's really no need to embellish racism. Right. It's a real thing. Right. And so the story that I think started this whole saga was a story he told about when he went to prom with a girl at the kind of, you know, pre-prom where everybody takes pictures

and gives corsages. Right. The girl wouldn't give him the corsage and gave it to another guy because Hasan Minhaj is brown. And that's a crazy, you know, disgusting story. Yeah, disgusting. And, you know, people found out who the girl was. That's kind of easy to like track who your prom date was.

Found out who it was, tracked her down. It's also a horrific story. So it's like, we're going to figure out who this motherfucker is. They sent her threats, like the whole thing. And it actually turns out that that girl never went to prom with Hasan Minhaj. He had asked her like weeks prior. She said no. I think maybe she had a date with someone else.

And she never went to prom with him so this is where it's like kind of you know getting past embellishing and just like a little a little bit of a danger zone straight up lie then there's another story he told about receiving an envelope with anthrax shit and that is true he did receive an envelope with anthrax he goes on to tell the story how he opened it in front of his family and his baby had to go to the hospital. How? Which is insane. That's horrific.

Then as it turns out, he did receive an envelope with anthrax, but he did not open it. No one in his family had to go to the hospital and the hospital story with his baby was embellished as well. Okay. Now here's my question because he's a comedian. Yeah. So it's like, okay, so if you're like embellishing okay fine fine. So I tell a story about a strap-on and then I look like Donald Trump because I was so orange. I was slightly orange. I wasn't Donald Trump orange. That's an

exaggeration. That's an exaggeration and the perfect example of like what a comedian would just say you can do. Yeah you punch it up. It's gotta be just a little bit more funny. So what's so interesting is the way people found out that these stories weren't true was he literally sat down with the New Yorker and admitted that several stories he told in stand-up routines over the years were embellished. One such story involved an anthrax scare that his family faced in his 2022 Netflix comedy special. Okay.

He said that his daughter came into direct contact with the white powder and had to go to the hospital to make sure it wasn't anthrax. The comedian admitted that that part of the story was not true, although he did have an anthrax scare that his daughter was present in the room for now here's the thing now like i haven't listened to a special so i i don't have all the information but like how is anthrax and a child coming into contact with it funny i know you know it's like i know if you're embellishing for comedy fine but it sounds like he's just telling a story it that doesn't sound like it's gonna punch up the

punch line right and so it's almost like it's a downer yeah no and then when it when you admit that it's not true it's just like it just delegitimizes so like it's just why would you do that and I saw a great video recapping it and this is how the video that I had saw that that I was like oh this is much more than just embellishment was was from KFC, who's a barstool guy. He said, you know, of course all comedians embellish. It's part of the art form. It's really not a big deal. But that's to make people laugh.

Right. And so much of Hasan Minhaj's comedy is to make people think. Okay. And when you're going to lie. Exactly. It's fraudulent. Lying about a funny story, embellishing, it feels like that fits into the rules. Lying about trauma is kind of a big no-no.

I know. And it's actually happening right now. I know you don't watch, but on Roni. Oh. Like, they're like, they are like, it's like the trauma Olympics. Oh, my God. And it's so infuriating. That's the culture we live in.

It's like, who could be the biggest victim? Like, it's like it's a competition. It's so annoying. And thank God for our girl, Uba. Because because she's like so they're fighting over i had zero dollars my bank account well i had 20 and uba's like zero 20 it's bad no matter how you slice it voice of reason thank you uba but like it really is like i'm watching it in real time happen and like shout out to watcher crappins i love them and i listen a lot to them so i'm like regurgitating their opinions credit Credit where credit's due.

But like, they're like so frustrated with like, you guys like, people share their stories, but like there is this fight with this one girl, Jessalyn. It's like, she's lying about her trauma. And I actually don't think she is. I think that they just like- What's her trauma? They're doing this like, I'm the poor, I was the poorest.

Meanwhile, they're all now rich right so like it doesn't matter right but um this one side is obsessed with the fact that she was poor and I it was a struggle it was trauma yeah and she's proud but like they want Jessel to tell her story and she's like oh yeah I struggled it's not the same struggle as Psy but everybody's cuts hurt it's just it's crazy but the point is is that people get really mad when they think you're lying about trauma for sure no you are right are not. And it just, it invalidates your, your whole message. Yes. So here's what Whippy Goldberg had said. If you're going to hold a comic to the point where you're going to check up on stories, you have to understand a lot of it is

the exact, is not the exact same thing that happened because why would we tell exactly what happened? It ain't that interesting. There's information that we will give you as comics that will have grains of truth, but don't take it to the bank. That's our job. A seed of truth, sometimes truth, and sometimes total BS. And while I agree with that, I don't think it applies here. Yeah, I agree. It's, you know, Hasan Minhaj has gotten so popular for his kind of, you know, not polarizing,

but thought provoking comedy. And it's comedy that's really, it's of course supposed to make you giggle, but it's really supposed to help you alter your view of the world. It's more serious than that. It's not like dumb penis jokes. It's more mature than that. So I do think there's a higher bar

and I don't know, it's really weird. Yeah. I don't think it'll affect him. It'll just be one of those things like on his resume. But I do think it's really fucking weird. I think it's kind of, yeah. It's not a good look. Yeah.

And I understand like the ideology of comedians supporting this ideal. Because it's like, well, I'm not going to be hypocrite and drag him forward. But like this is a specific circumstance. I agree. And I think it's wrong. I do. I do too specific circumstance. I agree. And I think it's wrong. I do. I do too. Okay.

Next story. Britney Spears' handlers are keeping her from a 60 Minutes promo after her wild Instagram posts. So her upcoming tell-all will just have to speak for itself because we hear that every TV outlet, including CBS's esteemed 60 Minutes, is gunning for an interview with the pop star ahead of the release of her highly anticipated memoir,

The Woman in Me. Sources tell Page Six her team does not feel that she's ready to do a sit-down interview. One source pointed to Spears' eccentric Instagram post as one of the reasons her team is shutting down any interviews. But another source close to the singer insists that the decision is solely resting with Spears. She's a free woman.

She'll decide it's her choice, they said. She had offers and she doesn't want to do anything. She, she of course has had a complicated relationship with the media ever since she hit the scene as a teen in 1998 she's been straight up traumatized by i mean reputable news anchors we we've seen all those diane sawyer interviews right like these are people that like we as americans trusted i think we can use past tense here yes but like when Diane Sawyer is coming for you like you have America on your side and so times are different but I understand why she's like living in a time capsule yeah and I do want to say like I don't think 60 minutes would be a good platform for Britney it's so serious and like political and I don't think people like turn to it for

pop culture yeah I think there are so many different platforms in this day and age that are so the opposite of those Diane Sawyer days yes I think of course like a podcast I could see her doing like a Jay Shetty yep um somebody who's gentle and empathetic yes I could see her really doing a podcast because there's really no limitations and they could edit it in the way that she wants you do the toast I mean of course she's always welcome I could also see her doing something, you know, very Meghan and Harry did with Oprah. Yes.

Where Oprah's very, like, a safe space. Although, didn't Oprah, oh, there's this new documentary. I don't know if it's on Netflix, but I watched it. It's about the supermodels of the 90s.

Yes, we talked about it yesterday. And one of them, I have not gotten that far, but brought up Oprah, kind of like dragging Oprah. Yes, Cindy Crawford said that Oprah made her get up Oprah kind of like dragging Oprah yes uh Cindy Cindy Crawford said that Oprah made her get up on her show and like show off her body to everyone when she was 16 in a way that felt very bizarre 16 okay interesting Cindy's also an interesting

one herself how so um she uh takes herself a little bit too seriously okay you know okay so and this is something that I think Meghan Markle's guilty of too and I love Meghan Markle but I think that like sometimes like people you're off put by someone's personality like Tay was like losing her mind over Cindy Crawford like not in a good way like she was like she driving me nuts in the documentary yes and I was like it's not that Cindy's not smart because she is smart but she goes out of her way to be like I'm smart I'm smart I'm smart yeah so then you're like hyper analyzing everything she says but also I think that

Cindy thinks she's like really really funny you know it's oh that's tough you can't be everything you can't be beautiful rich and funny PGS

pretty girl syndrome and not all pretty girls like suffer from this but Cindy Crawford maybe does and it's just like I'm so funny I'm so smart

and it's like just be you and we'll love you. And we'll find you funny and smart. Yes, but when you have to tell this, it's very annoying. And so I think that like, I think Meghan Markle, people like don't like her. And it's like, no, that's because you don't like her sense of humor. She thinks she's funny and she's trying to be funny, but she's really not that funny. She wants to, you know, put out to the world that she's this really kind of sophisticated person.

And she is. And we can glean that. But you don't have to sit down and be like we don't watch tv like shut up like people hate when people say that like everybody watches tv and it makes us feel bad like we're stupid yeah yes um so i don't think like her not going on 60 minutes is a big deal but i do think the book comes out next month i do not think people get a sit down interview she's not mentally fit for it and that's the reason and that's fine first of all I don't think it will even affect book sales whatsoever just because I mean it actually might even help them yeah more mystery um but I am worried about Britney who isn't like I just you know how about this let her do the book whatever the fuck she wants to do I think she should do the thing is I think she needs money now like I do think for real she hasn't been working for a while she had an

enormous amount of money that was dwindled by her conservatorship by the time she got out of the conservatorship I think there was a good chunk of money but not enough to never work again and to live this very very premium lifestyle with this big wedding and every week taking a private jet to Maui with Sam like right I don't think there is and she's done two songs Tiny Dancer actually just one great Tiny Dancer was fine but it's a collab with Elton John like it's not gonna make you money for life I feel like two so oh and Will.i.am yeah I feel like that flopped I feel like music alone doesn't really make money anymore no it doesn't that's why every artist tours, merch, podcast, like everybody

does a million things to support the music. Right. So I don't know. She got what? 15 million for the book. Yes. You have to outsell that before you make any more money off the 15. This is something that nobody knows. Yeah. So you get an advance for a book. So hers is $15 million. They'll give you, they split into three chunks. So that's $5 million upon signing. Yeah. $5 million upon handing in your manuscript. And then $5 million upon publishing. Then in the months that follow,

the publisher has to earn back $15 million in book sales before you make another cent. It's crazy. Now I do think her book will out earn $15 million. If you don't hit it, do you owe? No. Retroactively? Okay, thank God. It's just like a bad investment for the publisher. Got it.earn $15 million. If you don't hit it, do you owe? No. Retroactively?

Okay, thank God. It's just like a bad investment for the publisher. Got it. And they'll probably not give you a second book deal. Okay. Yeah. $15 million is a lot, but we always talk about this. We love to count people's money.

We do. And stress ourselves out. For Britney Spears, $15 million is not a lot of money. It's not a lot. Considering just the life she leads. Right. The big house. Right.

The jets. The glam. The security. The security. That's the real kicker. And then the lawyers, managers, and big house, the jets, the glam. The security. The security. That's the real kicker. And then the lawyers, managers, and publicists who are on your payroll. Oh, forget that. Business managers.

Right there, 30% is gone. Right. So let's say she gets the $15 million. Really, after taxes, it's $7 million. Yes. But you pay everybody on the 15th. No, you pay everybody. It's tax-deductible commissions.

Oh, what? Yeah, your commissions are tax deductible. So she, 10% to an agent, 10% to a manager. Okay. 5% to a business manager. That's 25%. What's 25% of 7 million? Girl, are you asking me?

I didn't even know that I could deduce the taxes. 25% of 7 million is, want to say 1.5 million dollars is that right I feel like it's not 1.75 so 7 minus 1.75 is 5.25 you're rain man so of her 15 million dollars she keeps 5.25 my brain is exploding and melting out my ears right now I don't I haven't heard anything you said in the last 30 seconds. Okay. So she got a $15 million book advance. Yes. What she will actually go home with is 5.25. That's not, that's nothing. Nothing. Chump change. So she better out earn that book advance so she can make more money. Yeah. She needs to actually go on 60 Minutes. She needs to do some press. She does. I feel like they'll be giving excerpts to like book review.

And so in the weeks leading up, we'll see like bombshell from Britney. So by the time it comes out, there's a lot of hype. But you got to do the rounds. But she's really not mentally fit for it.

Okay, let's do my second Britney Spears story, which is so weird that we have two Britney Spears stories. But I was shocked. I didn't hear about this. And I think this is in an effort to promote the book in kind of different and non-traditional ways because homegirl can't sit down for an interview. Right. Her 2002 movie Crossroads is set for an October re-release in theaters.

Oh, my God! Which is amazing. So, Britney Spears' 2002 film, Crossroads, is returning to the big screen. The teenage dramedy featuring the Princess of Pop in her first feature role will be released in cinemas all around the world on October 23rd and 25th, timed for the publication of her new tell-all memoir, The Woman in Me. So, Trafalgar Releasing, which is the Sony Music Entertainment and RCA Records,

announced the global fan event on Thursday. It does mean that Crossroads will go up against Taylor Swift, The Heiress Tour, although Taylor Swift's new concert pick will have a much bigger footprint. But also hers opens on October 13th and they're going 10 days later on October 23rd. So I think she's okay.

It will be playing in thousands of theaters across North America, the Eros tour. Crossroads is about 875 locations. Okay. So this is just like a cute, new and different way. And I imagine that

the first feature film is like a big turning point in her career and in the book. I think she probably talks about it a lot. And the title, The Woman in Me,

is of course from the song I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman, which was an original song from the soundtrack of Crossroads. I'm Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman which was an original movie song from the soundtrack of Cosgrove's I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe I'm just trying to find the woman in me. That song was really important to me in the fourth grade. And if you don't know watch my comedy special Disgrace Queen available for free on Amazon Prime. It was like an important coming of age story for me. Yes.

So I love this movie as much as I'm not like a diehard Britney. This movie raised me. Like we had it on VHS. We would play it, rewind, play it, rewind. Like we were obsessed with this movie. It's the worst movie ever. What? You heard me.

It's the best movie ever. And might I say, star studded. Zoe Saldana. I know. Taryn Manning. Eating people's butts. Yeah, she's lost her mind. And wait, Kim Cattrall plays Britney Spears' mother who abandoned her.

Oh! And Britney drives to Arizona to meet her mother. Spoiler alert, Kim Cattrall wants nothing to do with Britney Spears. You know what? I feel like maybe I've never seen it straight through. Let's go. Okay. I'll go to support Britney.

Taylor, it is the best movie. It's like one of the greatest movies of all time. I mean, I've definitely seen snippets of it, but maybe not straight through and through. Well, Brighter Strike is always on the mind. So like Kim Cattrall will get residuals. Yes. As will Taryn.

So she can continue. Taryn Manning has lost her mind her butt munching i don't think so i think she was just a woman fucking scorned in a moment because then by the man that she was cheating with what are you talking about taryn manning she was just in her car saying that like i love him and i eat his butt and his butt is so delicious i'm talking I'm talking about something else. She has like gone too bad making so many Instagram stories that Danny Masterson was wrongfully convicted of rape. No. And she's like, you all think I'm crazy, but I'm not. Like she's going nuts.

The butt munching is what started it. Okay, tell me the butt munching story. Okay, so she was having an affair with a man. Apparently she's kind of like addicted to married men. It's like her friends. Oh, he was married. Okay. Yes.

And so his wife was mad, understandably so. Of course. And then Taryn was mad at the wife being mad and so she got in her car and she went crazy and posted it but she was basically like you think I'm crazy you're crazy and then you know she has a little like southern lispy thing and then she was basically like I ate his butt and he liked it and I'll eat his butt again and I like eating people's butts and I was like why? Did you ever watch

Orange is the New Black? Yes. Because she's literally turned into her character Pants-a-Tucky. Method acting. Yeah. She took method acting

a little too far. Like Pants-a-Tucky was that her name? Pants-a-Tucky. Yep. She was like this you know quirky nutty prison inmate.

Meth addict. Meth addict. And honestly she took the role a little too seriously because she's become, I just, I'm joking about it,

but I actually hope she's okay, but I really can't get behind her. I think she's okay because her apology sounded like she was, she was like, you all think I'm on pills, but I'm not.

Which says someone on pills. Really? I don't know, I imagine if I wasn't on pills, I would tell everyone I'm not on pills. That's true. So what would a pill popper say?

The same. Yeah. Oh the Danny Masters and stuff is bad. Yeah I know. He's you want to go on the side of innocence?

No but by the way so she we reported we talked about yesterday on the toast that his wife Bijou Phillips is filing for divorce. Yes.

Which we said was like a weird tactic to like stand by your man in his rape trial but then so you obviously thought he was innocent and now he's an innocent man in prison and you're gonna leave him and somebody um did point out that there will be civil suits launched against Danny Masterson so maybe it's a financial maneuver right which is like just even more like these are disgusting people I support Bijou in this moment. You do? I mean, the lesser of two evils. Yeah, but like she's still standing by her man.

But divorcing is at least. But it sounds like she's divorcing him on paper. Like she'll still go and visit him with the kids. With conjugal visits and stuff. Yeah. Oh, God. I can't think of anything less sexy than prison. Like even if literally Jacob Elordi wanted to fuck me,

he's like, but we can only do it when I'm in prison during my conjugal visit. I'd be like, well, it's just not going to happen. I mean, can you imagine all of the venereal diseases? No, no, no. Okay, so I love this, by the way. This is like actually smart marketing. Like, oh, we have a, our talent can't sit down for an interview.

We got to get creative. Yes. And they're re-releasing this movie. It's actually brilliant. And maybe it'll open up, you know, Gen Z to a movie they've never seen. And they should see. It's a coming of age story. That's brilliant. And maybe it'll open up, you know, Gen Z to a movie they've never seen and they should see. It's a coming of age story.

That's smart. And it's a universal message. I love rock and roll. So put in another diamond. I love this movie. This movie means a lot to me, like for real. Okay, our next story. Oh, wow.

I just switched up our next story because I forgot that I wanted to talk about when you brought up Oprah. I forgot that Oprah was asked about Ozempic and she had some hot takes. Ooh. Which I find interesting. So Oprah Winfrey says she wrestled with the thoughts on Ozempic. Okay. She said, if I take the drug, that's the easy way out. Which is my least favorite thing for people to say. So Oprah Winfrey is joining the conversation surrounding the usage of type 2 diabetes drug

Ozempic for weight loss. The Media Mogul 68 recently hosted a panel discussing the obesity and weight crisis, which affects 2 billion adults globally. She held the conversation alongside obesity specialist Dr. Fatima Cody-Stanford and Dr. Melanie Jay and a psychologist named Rachel Goldman, Jewish Queen. Winfrey, who's a board member and shareholder of Weight Watchers, was also joined by Seema Sistani, who's the CEO of Weight Watchers.

Right. And that's why I wanted to talk about it. Weight Watchers recently also joined by Seema Sistani, who's the CEO of Weight Watchers. Right. And they recently, that's why I wanted to talk about it. Weight Watchers recently opened up about, they started a new telehealth treatment option for weight loss drugs. They, it was big news. They had bought like major shares in like a Novo Nordisk. So they're, they're now in the Ozempic game. They're bringing some glutides into the Weight Watchers game.

Which is very smart because they've been at like the, they have been the leading sort of, they've made it through diet culture. Weight Watchers has just been like a leading weight loss resource for many people. It's worked for so many people for 30 years. If they want,

but also they changed up the program and it fucked me up. Did it? I'll tell you that much. Yes, I did not like the new way of doing things. They were like, corn, a big lump of knobs.

No, they were like zero points. I'm like, I will eat 25 years of corn but it just wasn't working for me a really good job of changing with the times like bringing in Oprah was really great for them and so now like they're now www like they they keep up with the times where I feel like a lot of diets have been kind of canceled which says a lot though yeah they are they are here to stay and that is why they're with some good times because some good times are here to stay yeah that's the whole thing.

It was kind of like a really I think big smart decision of them but I was curious what Oprah had to say about it. I think that Oprah's also saying the easy way out because she has literal financial stake

in people not just because why do you need Weight Watchers when you have Ozempic? I want to say I think a lot of the headlines did Oprah dirty.

Here's what she really said. Okay, okay. Shouldn't we all just be more accepting of whatever body you choose to be in? That should be your choice. Okay. Even when I first started hearing about the weight loss drugs at the same time I was going through knee surgery and I felt I've got to do this on my own because if I take the drug, that's the easy way out. She also explained that she was shamed in the tabloids every week for about 25 years for not having

the willpower when it comes to her weight loss journey. And then the obesity medicine physician, Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford said, obesity is a chronic disease and willpower isn't a word that she uses when it comes to her patients. It's hard to see you ostracized in the way that you've been because this isn't about willpower. It's not your fault. It's how our bodies regulate weight and each of us is different. Each of us is unique. No one is superior to another. We're just different in acting on those differences and treating those differences in the heterogeneity of the population is how we're going to actually make changes to the disease. So of course, Oprah has been vocal about her health journey, revealing in October 22 that

she recovered from double knee surgery the year prior. She said, I had knee surgery in August and then another in November when I came home for the first time, I literally could not lift my leg. I couldn't lift my heel off the bed. And I vowed if I was ever able to get up walk around and move again that I would take advantage of my movement exercise and being able to be fully in my body so she didn't like she didn't bash Ozempic but like she didn't she wasn't like a voice that we could have used her to be like a voice of reason yes and a lot of people really respect Oprah I think a lot of like people of all sizes she's kind of like a pillar in the overweight community. But she's a global pillar.

People just respect the fuck out of whatever she says. And she shuts people down all the time. And I would have loved for her to use this as an opportunity to shut people down. Because she of anyone should know how like obesity is a lifelong battle. And I don't know. I just feel like she could have done better. It's giving. I'm on Ozempic.

But I don't really want anyone to know. she could have done better. It's giving. I'm on Ozempic, but I don't really want anyone to know because I have so much money in Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers has a lot to gain from semaglutide. So if anything, Oprah as a board member should be praising it. No, because I literally the other day was like, why am I paying for Weight Watchers? I'm on Ozempic. It is natural.

I don't need it. When I go off of Ozempic, or my tri-zipitide, people get very mad at me about that. But like, I'll definitely go back on Weight Watchers. Just for right now, I don't need it, because my willpower is like,

through a shot. Ozempic is watching your weight. You don't need to watch it. Absolutely. Absolutely. So maybe that's why, she's taking the stance she is. I just think there really needs to be,

more critical thinking, and like nuanced conversation, around Ozempic. I know. Every time it's in the media, is. I just think there really needs to be more critical thinking and like nuanced conversation around Ozempic. I know. Every time it's in the media, it's like, you know, Jackie Goldschneider loves to clown on Ozempic. Yeah, and of course our headline recently was like, she's always talking about it. I starve myself to be thin, but I still wouldn't take Ozempic.

Well, of course. Jackie. No, thank you for saying that. You're the exact type of person who shouldn't take Ozempic. Exactly. Her experience is totally colored. I mean, her opinion is totally colored by her own experience, which is fine. But she just shouldn't make broad statements,

sweeping with wide strokes or whatever they say, because she so clearly has a trauma. And that affects how she sees these things. But she just can't even get into the mindset of someone with the opposite problem of her. She was striving to be skinny and was doing everything she can to be skinny. And she can't even grasp the opposite of that. People who literally cannot stop gaining weight, no matter how hard they try, nothing works for them. She can't even empathize with that person. She can't see any experience

other than her own, which is fine. So her to say, I would never take Ozambic, you shouldn't. Right. You're literally the exact type of person a doctor would not recommend it for. Exactly. But stop like making, you know, broad statements about other people. Like it just bothers me. And so for Oprah, I felt like this could have been such a fabulous, powerful conversation. I know. And I feel like Oprah let us down. She did let us down. It did. She let Cindy Crawford down. She let the chubbies down. She really did. I don't know. Like it could have been, it could have been major i know we just need we need more people like doing what we do i feel like in i think it's gonna be like

two years but definitely five like people are gonna be looking back on the times that they were criticizing ozempic like what the fuck was i doing there's just like such a look at the last laugh there's such a lack a lack of logic because people are always like well we don't know what it's gonna what it's gonna. Like, actually, we do. The drug has been around. It's not new. It's been around for 15 years. Yes.

Because diabetes has been taking it four years. That's why so many doctors feel so comfortable prescribing it to patients because it has a track record. They're like, this newfangled drug. Yeah. It's not new, girl. Yeah. It's been around for a really long time.

And when you say that, you're like basically screaming like, I don't know any doctors. And it's like, I feel bad for you. Right. Because I'm surrounded by doctors. Me too. I'm just like. And it's like amazing. I'm basically you right because I'm surrounded by doctors me too I'm just like and it's like amazing I'm basically a doctor I pretty much am a doctor I would say all right are you ready for a final story yes have you been following the story of the plane video that went viral where this Instagram model was like I'm an

Instagram famous person like she was being crazy okay people are just like obsessed with it now they found out who she was she actually is Instagram famous She was getting booted Off a plane What's Instagram famous She had 900,000 followers And I think she has more now Girl Because she really went viral

She is She's wearing like This skin tight Gray body suit I was like oh my god On a plane Yeah like a onesie Like a unitard

Unitard Stop She had an amazing body How'd she pee It was A lot Gray I mean

Light gray. She is not okay. She is braver than any woman I've ever met. So people figured out who she was. And now she's speaking out. It appeared in the video she was getting booted off the plane. And everybody was like boo get off get off. And she's oh fuck you fuck you I'm Instagram famous.

Like hilarious. I like her energy. You should be friends with her. I know that's literally me. So the Instagram model in Pl plane meltdown says that she left to avoid knocking her seatmate the fuck out she claims she wasn't kicked off the plane she left because her seatmate was annoying her so self-proclaimed instagram famous model morgan osman denies that she was actually booted from the american airlines flight and her now viral video moment insisted that she left to avoid knocking her annoying seatmate the fuck out.

Now, the reason why I chose this story is because they found out who she was. And the reason is so clear. Like this next sentence will clear everything up for you. The Bad Girls Club alumna told TMZ on Wednesday that while she didn't mind being called the latest crazy plane lady, the backlash to her video was unfair because it didn't show that she had been provoked before storming off the jet. She said, I was just living life.

It was the lady next to me. She came in so hot. This is what she said of the woman who kept telling her to get up. She had neon blue hair. I'm dead. She was very special. I don't know who you think you are. This is what she said to her seatmate.

I don't know who you think you are talking to me, but it won't be me. Question. Yeah. First class or economy coach. And she sat down next to me. She got on FaceTime. She's making fun of me on FaceTime. The influencer claimed. So I said to myself, Morgan, this is not the flight for you. You already missed one flight. Just get off the flight because I'm going to knock her the fuck out. It was only when she decided to remove herself and wave down the stewardess that people then whipped out their cameras. Okay. The now viral video shows Osman clad in a curve-hugging gray bodysuit,

bickering with other passengers and telling one of them, feel me, I'm Instagram famous, you fucking bum. I love her. No, I'm kind of obsessed. She told TMZ, I still think they're a bunch of fucking bums. They are bums. I mean listen You can't dress like that

And act crazy You have to wear like Sweatpants and hide And with a hoodie If you're gonna like Lose your fucking shit Do you drink on planes? You know what

I used to And I kind of stopped This last tour So now it's kind of Reregulated me But I used to get I mean fucking Hammered on flights

Like I have never Ever once had an Altercation on a flight Like I avoid Conflict had an altercation on a flight. Like I avoid conflict. I avoid any sort of fighting. But I imagine if I was the type of person who had cocktails on a plane like I would look for a fight. You definitely would. So I don't know like how people drink on flights. For a multitude of reasons. Like don't you get a headache? No but but you do get way more fucked up from less when you're, because altitude. I have been drunk on a plane once.

And? And I was going to Mexico. I was with Brian Kelly. Okay. We had a layover in Houston. So we were in the lounge and, you know, I flew with Brian. So they like picked us up. They drove us.

They gave us this fancy lounge. We had margaritas and we saw two other people on the flight that we knew. So they joined us in the lounge. We're partying. We're drinking. They're on our flight to Mexico. It's first class. So there's like eight seats. I know four of the people. Right. We're all listening to the same pair of headphones, listening to music, like getting wasted. And we were definitely like drunk enough to be like a problem, but we were just

having fun. Like we were not disrupting. Right. And the flight attendant couldn't have been nicer. He was like, I just want to make sure like you guys aren't driving. We're like, no, we have a car picking us up. And he was like, oh the most passive-aggressive way of saying you guys are drunk no but he was lit like he was honestly I believe he was like a gay man and I was it was I was with three gay men right so he was very like simpatico energy yes and and then I looked back like the next day I was like damn I was really drunk on that plane and I've never been drunk I'm like oh god like what was I capable of but I've never been drunk on a plane before you're capable of

screwing everybody that you are internet famous no honestly it was nice to know like if i'm like drunk on a plane i'm just a good time i am always ready for a fight in a plane i'm i want to fight you about my overhead space yeah the overhead space i will fight you about like like just a million different things i am i'm an open nerve. So I am very much in support of this bad girl. The people in first class are really fucking annoying about the overhead bin space. Share! Once you're all there, can I have a little square? No, I'm not talking about that.

Once they're all there, for sure. Yeah. But people in first class like love to come to first class and super late. Yes. And just expect that there's space for them. And there are other people in first class who like to come on late. Yes. And just expect that there's space for them. And there are other people in first class. So like to come on late, your fellow first class cabin passengers have taken the space.

Yes. And to throw a hissy fit, like, well, I'm in first class. I deserve to have space. So it's like, you got to get here on time,

girlfriend. They have like a complex. When I, the very infrequent times that I'm first class, the way I look, everybody that comes up down the aisle, up and down. I'm the biggest fucking asshole when I'm first class, the way I look everybody that comes up down the aisle, up and down, I'm the biggest fucking asshole when I'm first class.

Yeah. You know, I'm like modest about it. I just keep my head down. I just look at everybody's outfits. No, it's so funny. Like when you're not in first class,

you look at the first class passengers with such contempt, with such like jealousy and hatred. Totally. And when you are in first class, like, and you see people walking by, like you actually, like, you know what that's like. Like, you feel like, like you are in first class, like, and you see people walking by, like you actually, like,

you know what that's like. Like you feel like, like you want to tell them, like, I don't always fly first class. Not me. Momentarily. I'm like,

I am better than everyone. Oh, so you take, you don't take the higher up. No, I take the lowest of the low. That's so you. I know.

I absolutely, one thing about you, like you're going to be consistent. Consistently toxic. Name of your first memoir. Consistently toxic. God, name of your first memoir. Consistently toxic. The consistently toxic lesbian. Lesbian, I was waiting for it. No, no, you need to have,

the consistently toxic lesbian who took Ozempic. But it's actually trisepatite. It needs to just be like fully encapsulate your journey. Who fraudulently laughs at Claudia Oshry. Yes. There you go. Colon, the Strucker story Was that a real laugh Or a fake laugh

That was a real one You make me cackle I'm a cackling hag When I'm with you I don't know If I believe you Claude Ed Stop
