Good afternoon, Millennials. Sorry, good afternoon, Millennials. Hope everybody's having a good day. There is no scheduled episode of The Toast. As you guys know, today is Columbus Day, so we didn't have an episode planned, but Jackie and I felt like compelled to do an episode. Yeah, given everything that's going on in Israel. And to make it a separate episode from tomorrow's episode where we hope to be able to do our show as usual, but like we're not the same girls we were on Friday show. Yeah, things are very much fluid in terms of like toast scheduling. It just feels so unimportant.

We'll do shows. Yeah, of course, of course. But I'm just saying like the tone and the tenor of them. Yeah. It might not be like what you've come to be used to from us. And as much as like we love to bring light on days that are dark, there are some days that are too dark. Yeah.

And the light can't get through and like that's how we feel right now and this episode is just meant to be like a conversation about October 7th in Israel yeah what happened the facts of what happened because from what I've seen on social media not everyone knows or else they'd be speaking differently if they fucking knew right what happened what's happening on social media and in the media and the disappointing response from in America celebrities, influencers, morons, and how we feel about it.

Yeah, so for those who may not know, Jackie and I are sisters. We are Jewish. We are extremely proud Zionists. We have visited Israel many, many times. It is a homeland of our people. We are huge supporters of Israel. And on Saturday morning, which as most people know, is Shabbat for the Jewish community. It was also a holiday. It was... Shemini and Seret.

Yes, thank you. Which is a very holy day. So if you are observant at all, like you're not on your phone, you're not watching TV, you're just in the holiday celebrating. We woke up later to find out, but at 6 a.m. in Israel, Israel was attacked by Hamas, which is a terrorist celebrating. We woke up later to find out but at 6 a.m. in Israel, Israel was attacked by Hamas which is a terrorist organization. People on social media are going to try and paint it as something else but don't get it twisted. Hamas is a terrorist organization, an organization of terrorists. That's not a hot take. It's not a hot take. That is what they are. They don't do

anything else. They don't do any school, charitable works. They commit acts of terror for decades against Israel, against the Jewish people all over the world. And Saturday morning was the Saturday was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. So in addition to thousands of rockets that were fired from Gaza into Israel, terrorists on foot invaded, invaded Israel, invaded Israelhoods, residential homes, places of business. There was a music festival happening in the south. It was called the Festival of Peace where thousands of Jewish Israelis, tourists from out of the country, Christian Israelis, Muslim Israelis, gay Israelis, straight Israelis. It was a festival for peace. People, excuse me, not people, terrorists paraglided in and just,

I don't even know what the right wording is. Massacred. It was a massacre. There are now, as of today, we're recording this episode on Monday afternoon, there are now about 900 people dead. Over 100 of them have been captured and kidnapped. Mostly.

Not 100 of them. 900 people dead. Another 100. Another 100 have been kidnapped and taken back to Gaza. Mostly women, children, elderly people. And over 2,000 are wounded. And that's not just like, oh, I twisted my ankle. Oh, I was shot. That's a life-threatening wound. Your life will never be the same. That's 2,000 people. Yeah. And it just hasn't stopped since then. So it's now day three of war. It's a war, a full-blown war. The state of Israel, which is the

homeland of the Jewish people, our people, is under attack. And as if that wasn't like harrowing enough to wake up on Saturday. And I think as a person who is Jewish and supports Israel and follows what goes along in Israel, we are very sadly accustomed to like waking up some mornings and hearing about rockets or terrorist attacks or stabbings or, you know, suicide bombers blowing up buses. So it's not uncommon to wake up to news like that. However, on Saturday, I think we all felt like this seismic shift, like how different this was. It was a full blown war. It wasn't just like a rogue terrorist or a one time thing. It was all over. They made it into Jerusalem, which is, you know, much more north. It is a full-scale attack on Israel. They're calling it Israel's 9-11.

But the scale of the attack, when adjusted for the size of the population of the USA, the amount of people that were killed in Israel, that would be the equivalent of 25,000 Americans dying in one day, which has not happened. So this is catastrophic. I'm sure some people have seen videos. They're really hard to watch. But you have to watch them. You have to see what they're doing or else you you wouldn't believe it. And it's easy to turn your blind eye to it. But if you've seen it, there's no other side.

At this point, all this time, people are like, you know, there's two sides. At this point, you either support Zionism or you support terrorism. That's it. Yeah. Some of the footage is horrifying and just hearing firsthand accounts you know I've seen a lot of like people whose daughters or fathers are missing or kidnapped and they're what they're going through is unimaginable. I think it's not a question as to why so many of the people kidnapped were young women. These young women are being raped and they're being tortured and their families are being called so that they can hear their daughters and their mothers and their sisters and their

aunts being raped over the phone. Like these are the most, being kidnapped is one of the most horrifying experiences ever. But you're being kidnapped by the most evil people in the world and they are doing unthinkable things at every turn. Everything that they are doing unthinkable things at every turn everything that they are doing is completely barbaric first of all coming in invading homes going house to house butchering families if they couldn't get into the house they burned down the house until families ran out capturing the women and children the vulnerable the elderly a holocaust survivor

right imagine surviving the holocaust and then living through this. Power gliding into a music festival, raping the women, capturing them, holding them captive, if not killing them, then kidnapping them back to Gaza, calling their families on the phone and mocking them, going into an elderly person's house, murdering her, taking a picture of it and posting it to her Facebook wall for her grandchildren to see. It doesn't get more evil than this. If you don't see that, that this is good versus evil and you feel ambiguous and you need a bit of grace to find the time and the words, I have no time for you. Yeah. So as if like waking up on Saturday, like wasn't traumatizing enough, like seeing all this footage, hearing from people

on the ground, what's what exactly is going on. And then having to adjust and receive what's being said here in America, honestly, it's so disappointing and it makes the situation so much worse. And the fact that there's this weird social media rule where if you say, I support Israel, I'm a proud Zionist, and I think in recent years there has been an intentional campaign to make the word Zionist be a four-letter word. Like, you support Zionism? They're equating it saying you're a white supremacist, which is just beyond moronic because I can't even get into how white supremacy, everyone in Israel is brown.

So this is not like a white. This is not a race thing. Right. Especially when the terrorists, they don't, they're there to kill Jews. But they're there to kill anyone who stands for freedom. People don't even realize. And right now that's Israel, but you don't even realize that's you too. Right.

And the people who are advocating for Hamas, like they're coming for you too. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. So I know that's kind of like just a thing people say, but like what it actually means is like if you're a gay person and you want to live in the Middle East, there's really only one option for you. And that's Israel. If you're a woman who wants to literally do anything and you, you want to live in the Middle East, there's only one option for you. So to, to live in a culture that's, you know, that is so wonderful where we love gay rights, human rights, human rights, just basic, basic things to see people who advocate for that being like well I need to read an article before it's really complicated it's really not fucking complicated

it's so disappointing and I I hate to put so much emphasis on like what I'm seeing on social media because it's so unimportant but but it's not no because it's twofold and it's a twofold war it's like the war on the ground and then this our reaction to it the public the war for public opinion and and the thing is like these things matter and matter. And at the end of this, we'll talk about how people can support Israel and, like, what can they do. But just supporting Israel, it means so much to your Jewish friends, but just to the cause in general. It should mean a lot to you. The fact that it's not unequivocally, like, there was a terrorist attack. It was the most gruesome thing.

Like, something out of the Middle Ages. Yeah. Like, pillaging of villages. Raping women. Raping of the women. like pillaging of villages raping women taking them as like war trophies parading toddlers parading them through the streets naked raping them killing them and then literally tying their body to the back of your truck as some sort of dancing on their dead naked bodies the fact that it's not unequivocal that you're going to condemn it instead we need time to contextualize what there's no first of all if you want to go get your context Israel is still right but

after you do that there's no ifs ands or buts about this if you want to talk about the history and who the land belongs to it's still Israel but if you want to go read some article that will convince you that it belongs to Palestine which is a name that was the land was called by by the Roman Empire after they conquered it from Israel. You're right. It does always go back to the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire. The Roman Empire is what they conquered the land of Judea from the Jews.

They called it Syria-Palestina. And this has been happening ever since. And who called it the land of Palestine? The British. Right. It was a British mandate. So if you do want to go get the context, go ahead. Just make sure you get your facts right but regardless of that if you see what you saw there is no justification or contextualization

that makes anything like this relatively okay and if you can't unequivocally denounce it that was bad but if there's a but at the end of your sentence fuck off fuck off all the way you are you are evil you are on the side of evil all it takes is for you to see those videos and be a fucking human being to know that that's wrong it has been enormously disappointing and actually really like scary to see the amount of people with platforms the amount of people who you work at vogue like these are people the girl with the boots the girl with the boots the girl who kan Kanye made fun of her boots yeah they were fucking ugly and she's the worst right so these are people with enormous power enormous platform the people these are people with with responsibility to to do the

right thing 70 student groups at Harvard like it's and and I feel like for a lot of times as a Jewish person who is aware of anti-semitism you really feel like you're shouting into a void like we know academia is incredibly anti-semitic like there are so many instances of Jewish students feeling so incredibly unsafe on campuses. So many hate crimes. Not just feeling unsafe, being unsafe. Being unsafe. So many hate crimes. Like we know this. And I think unless you're in it, like all of this sounds crazy. It sounds like there's no way Harvard. But like there is. And the Jewish community has been trying to tell you this for years and you haven't been listening. And now it takes, it takes raping.ing it takes murdering it takes kidnapping for maybe for you to open your

eyes maybe but it's so crazy that all of this and it's not an unequivocal unequivocal yes condemnation of Hamas no it's it's insane and I I have to say that um I feel actually really proud this part's like obviously gonna make me cry I feel really proud that like you and and I are so like proud of our Judaism and our support for Israel because I really feel like that is translated to the toaster community. Like, and I know most of our listeners aren't Jewish. We have a lot of Jewish listeners and we love you and appreciate you. But the beauty of the toast is that it's really for everyone. Like no matter who you are, what your religion is, like you can enjoy the toast. We love you. You love us. And the support from the toaster community and like the the the energy

to think critically and the energy to do research and and to not just believe what moronic celebrities with enormous platforms are saying it it brings great comfort to me and it makes me feel really proud of the community that we've built yes and it doesn't go unnoticed and I just really appreciate it and I think I'm even more um incentivized or um what's the word I'm looking for activated to keep doing it because it's it's rewarding to see and it's just a small corner of the internet and of social media not that small but I do feel like it makes an impact and I really appreciate it I really do no I appreciate it too I've gotten so many kind messages so many horrible messages I hope all you Jews die and Hitler was right all of that but to me that's less shocking no than the positive

outpouring of love and just all of these toasters in the community who have learned so much from us including learning how to go out and think for yourself and see and find information but what's also crazy it's like yeah the celebrities are mor. They post dumb shit and they regurgitate the same, you know, weak... Graphic. What was it? We need to make space. Yeah, right.

We need to make space. But it's the media, too. And the media is the worst. And they set the tone that trickles down. But their headlines, I posted on my story this newsletter that I...

Call them out. What's their name? Need to Know newsletter bought by Cheddar. So it's Cheddar's Need to Know. I've been a subscriber for 10 years. You're always promoting it. I always talk about my newsletter. I found this story what's their name need to know newsletter bought by cheddar so it's cheddar's need to know I've been a subscriber you're always promoting years I always talk about my newsletter I found this story in my newsletter by the way they've always been horrible awful about Israel like you know always if uh Gaza launches rockets and Israel retaliates Israel it storms Gaza with rockets so it's never like the the whole truth but like that's what you come to

expect from the media so where am I going to get a newsletter that doesn't say that right but the fact that this more on monday morning what i posted to my instagram you know israel at war israel uh rains rockets down on gaza declares war no mention it was a slaughter fest yeah blood lust like like we've never seen in our lifetimes or in this century yeah yeah anywhere I think a really important context I just have started to fucking hate that word because it's just um this is an excuse no it's like it's an excuse for people but you know what go get your context wait here's context some fucking and actually maybe even context wasn't the right word it's uh like a detail because what's so terrible about this whole situation is the amount of civilian casualties.

Like if you enlist in the army, like it's a, you know it's a risk. And you know that war is between army versus army. And I heard a mother, it's such a terrible story. Her two daughters were kidnapped. They were in an apartment together. They called their mom. They're like, someone's trying to break in. Someone's trying to bake in.

And she heard the whole thing over the phone. 12-year-old and 16-year-old. year old still missing and what she had said which was really chilling is like even war has rules and they have just thrown every war every rule every you know moderately war is terrible but you know you do certain things to to minimize civilian casualties it's like rules of engagement right these are war crimes right and what's so crazy is Israel is always accused of war crimes. Israel is the most humane military on the planet. Before they drop a bomb on the house of a terrorist who just killed a bunch of innocent civilians, they drop pamphlets. They send videos. And they say, go run. Even this weekend,

Netanyahu is telling civilians to get out because things are going to get crazy. And so the detail I wanted to mention is Hamas, this terrorist organization, can't say that enough times. They know this and they know how to get around that. So what do they do? They stash all their weapons in civilian homes. They have their headquarters, like a bunch of high-ranking officials. Their office is in a residential building. They use their kids

as human shields. They make their civilians the casualties so that they can paint a picture, a propaganda picture, being like, look what was done. You were given warning. You were told exactly what time and where you were going to be attacked. And what did you do? You flocked there with your civilians. It's so intentional. And so this storyline, it's always like, oh, Israeli IDF, they killed children. They actually go out of their way to do the exact opposite, but their enemies make it impossible to do so. Just keep that in mind when you see these headlines and these numbers. Hamas doesn't give a shit about the people who live in Palestine. They don't give a shit. Israel cares more about the people who live in Palestine who just want to live their fucking

lives. Israel cares more about them than Hamas does. So stop defending Hamas. If you give a shit. Israel cares more about the people who live in Palestine who just want to live their fucking lives. Israel cares more about them than Hamas does. So stop defending Hamas. If you give a shit, if you want peace, if you want coexistence, you're never going to win on the side of Hamas. Don't be fucking stupid. I know it's hard for a lot of you. I know. And I sympathize with that as a stupid bitch, but I'm not that stupid. I know it's hard for you, but get a grip. Look around. No, and they'll make it like it's about the land. In 2005, people want to talk about an ethnic cleansing. Right. In 2005, there was an ethnic cleansing of every single Jew who lived in Gaza

who had a house there, who bought a home. A community, a shul, a school. Pulled from their homes. It was horrible to watch. And the Israeli government said, this is what we're going to do. We want peace. Get out. Everyone get out of Gaza. This belongs to the palestinians get out and what did they do

they used it as a launching terrorist hotbed and the people of gaza elected hamas as their leadership like it's this is what happened and the fallout in america and i think it's like it's it's dumb to even talk about it because it's so far away but what Israel represents in the Middle East is exactly what America represents freedom of religion love who you love like it's a free place yeah and so to see the response in America in Times Square yesterday hundreds of people supporting country yeah I know but like in New York it feels even scarier like the the largest, the largest population of Jews outside of Israel is New York.

LA, Chicago, everywhere. Hundreds of people showing up so excited about this. Cheering. This was a success for them. You're cheering for rape. You're cheering for murder. They call them freedom fighters.

The last thing on earth that they want is freedom. For you. It is imperative to support Israel as an American. Like Israel is the America of the Middle East. And if you don't get that, then I can't help you. But it's as simple as that. Yeah. And if you stand for women's rights, if you stand for gay rights, if you stand for human rights, if you value a human life, there is no choice here. And it's so hypocritical and contradictory that some people will go so hard.

For that in America. For one cause. Can't even see how their cause would be treated. Yeah. By the people they're supporting. And I think another thing, and I really, I don't subscribe to this notion of like social media activism. Agreed.

I believe that you can really care about something and not post about it. And it doesn't mean you don't care. Even if you have a platform, like I don't, I don't subscribe to that notion, but that is the culture that we live in. Like if you don't post X, you're marked as X. Well, here's how I, yes. How I feel about it is. But that logic doesn't apply to this.

Well, here's how I, yes, how I feel about it is. But that logic doesn't apply to this. It doesn't apply here because I feel as if you are someone who uses your Instagram to talk about every cause under the sun, I'm hearing from you about the Ukraine, BLM, then this is your time to, then you have to post about this. Well, war has been waged. So when everybody, when you do every, every cause and then the Jewish one doesn't get the same energy, it makes you think well what is the root of this lack of energy right and it's an egregious thing and I feel like up

until this point I've never felt so adamant about people having to post when they're people who do activism on their social media if you've never posted about anything I don't really care what you're doing that's not who you are right and. And that's kind of fine. That is fine. Sorry. I'm not like unfollowing anyone who didn't post. Right. But the people who post for everything. And then not this.

And they don't post about this. It only leads us to one conclusion. And it's not. And I feel like when in 2021 there was a war of the Rockets war. Yes. Trevor Noah called them their pesky little brother. Right. Imagine your pesky little brother running around raping, pillaging.

Right. Murdering. Has he said anything? I don't know it's we are keeping it to the list no there are like a few celebrities and it's so dumb to me and I don't agree like the fact that if you want to stand with Israel that's considered like a hot take and like you can get canceled for it that's not like the approved Instagram so crazy you should get canceled for not sympathizing with Hamas. Yeah. For sympathizing with the people who paraglide into a music festival and slaughter the innocent civilians. And rape the women. The women, rape them and kidnap them. Those are not the good people in this story. Right. So the sheer fact that like supporting Israel is this sort of

brave thing to do. I don't agree with it, but it is the reality of social media. And now I just, like there, you will never find me in my life saying a bad word about Amy Schumer. Like there are certain people who like, they risked what they had Sophia Richie. Like they, it's unfortunately a risk. It's moronic and I don't give a fuck.

I'll post everything. But I understand for some people, who are a little bit more removed from it, like there's a risk. And so there are a few people whom I have enormous respect for now and will be a fan of and will see their movies and purchase their skincare like you have a fan in me forever Jamie Lee Curtis because it's so it's considered it is brave yeah there are a few people who I've lost all respect for. Kylie. Yeah. Kylie.

There's a lot of people. Posted and deleted. I don't really want to like. Chris Queen. Chris Queen. Posted and kept it up. Twice. Posted twice.

Let's talk about the posting and deleting. Because I actually think that's worse than not posting at all. Because it's like you saw everything. You saw everything and you were compelled enough to post. Obviously. But a couple messages and you're a coward. A couple. And those messages were more important to you than what you saw with your own two eyes of what they did. Yeah. I really want to

say some people's names. Say some names. They posted it. It's public information. Yeah. The posting and deleting is without a doubt like it's humiliating. Yeah. You stand for nothing. You stand for nothing. Like in times like this, it's really important to realize how like none of this matters how many people listen to your podcast it doesn't fucking matter how many Instagram followers you have I'm sure I have lost so many followers like I don't give a fuck and if you do like my god your priorities are fucked and we were talking yesterday you were saying how it's most disappointing from someone like Kylie yes okay it's most disappointing from someone like I'm gonna use the example of like Sophia Richie and Kylie oh no I don't think I think Sophia Richie is, oh yeah,

they're the same. No, I think they're a little different. Let me tell you why. Okay. Kylie is a billionaire. She is A-list probably till the day she dies. Even if she never posted another, like she is eternally famous, eternally successful. Nobody can really hurt her. You have nothing to lose. You know, you don't have brand deals being like, oh, we don't want this. Yeah. And then your whole month is empty of income. You can't make your rent. Right. I have no respect for her posting and deleting because that's a person who is untouchable.

When I look at Sophia Richie, this is a person relatively new to the A-list. She's at her peak right now. She might not be at this peak forever. And even at her peak with so many people watching and really a lot to lose, she was adamant in her support for Israel. That, to to me is so respectable and so honorable. And someone like Kylie, who's untouchable, like what are you going to do? Like what's going to happen to you? Nothing to delete is so enormously disappointing. And I

guess it really shouldn't be surprising, honestly. Like I feel like I've definitely had blinders on for Kylie for many years and like it shouldn't be surprising. It's, no, it's surprising that you had the balls enough to post and then none whatsoever. Yeah. And it's like, you know, at this point that supporting Israel is the controversial take. So you posted it. Wait, like you, you, you had the thought. It's like kind of Ashton Mila. Like you knew you had the thought process.

You were going to make a tough decision. You did it. You thought it through and then you took it back. Like, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Chris left her post up yeah Chris left her post up Chris left her post and it's I hate that like it's so unimportant that like I'm putting value in stock in what's left but it changes the discourse it does it makes an impact no especially in this

situation where I feel like a lot of times when everyone's posting for a cause it's like there is no other side it's meaningless yeah what I mean so it's like it? So it's like, it's what's the word? Fruitless. No, what's the word? Performative. Yes. Because like, what is this doing? This is doing nothing.

It's true. It actually, right. But this, when you post in support of Israel, like it helps, it helps change tides. Like to see, I feel like most people,

if they don't, if Israel isn't top of mind for them, they're not Jewish. They're not. Thinking about the Middle East all the time. And they're not like up to date in Jewish history and you just look at the media like you really could find fault with Israel so then to see like people that you follow that you respect or even friends of yours even if you don't have a following just to see like oh there's a lot of

support for Israel maybe I should look into this right no it moves the needle it moves the needle it is so important right now like social media activism in this moment is so important for Israel's cause because for some reason it's not black and white right for people like it's not like there's an obvious oh my god excuse me sneeze on it twice like it's when everyone was posting for the Ukraine I didn't see anyone post for Russia right no it was like that was almost performative because it's like obviously. So like but it's not so obvious now. And so I don't know. I just I hate to put such importance on it.

But I do feel like it actually changes hearts and minds. And it warms hearts for people like us. Right. And there's so many people like us who feel so alone and so shocked and devastated. Heartbroken. Every feeling under the sun. and when you see that people support you it matters it really does and so a lot of the outreach from people who follow me in the toasters has been like what can we do to help and honestly I I feel like a lot of people can probably relate

to this I have felt like this general feeling of uselessness like I I should be in Israel like I I literally want to enlist in the army like I it's just this uselessness and like an oaf what am I doing here like my people are literally being slaughtered and Ben has a lot of family in Israel thank god they happen to be in London but there are so many Americans with deep direct connections friends family a lot most of kids from my high school spent the year uh after high school before college in Israel like half the people and if you're wondering like why why should I care why does this affect half the people, and if you're wondering like, why should I care?

Why does this affect me? Well, you should care because you're a human being. But two, a lot of the victims are American. A lot of the hostages are hostages from Mexico. They're hostages from Nepal. This isn't just an attack on the Jews. And if you don't care because it's Jewish, well, you should look into that.

But if you need a reason to care further, this is not just an Israel thing. There are people from all over the world who have been killed. There are people from all over the world who have been raped. There are people, the girl, I'm sure you saw her picture, beautiful girl from Germany who came to the festival. She's from Germany. She's not even Israeli.

Actually, I believe she's a dual citizen. But what I'm saying is Israel is, because it's such a fabulous, welcoming place, is a place for everyone. So the victims are everyone. But don't get it twisted. This is very much about Jews. And so if you don't care, or if you're finding a reason to contextualize or doubt or say but, just admit

that you don't give a shit about Jewish people dying. It would save us a lot of time. I don't want to read your statements. You're not a good writer. You're not smart. I don't want to read it to just say, honestly, the Jews are not for me. I would honestly respect that fucking more than lying. Yeah. Than lying. Shut up. Also, in the same breath that they say death to Israel, they say death to America. So this has to do with you. Right. Like, it's you next.

If you don't do something. So in terms of people wanting to reach out, we have a fundraiser currently for Magenta Vida Dome, which is a fabulous organization. That is helping injured, wounded victims on the ground. They need money for resources. EMTs, paramedics. Medicine. Ambulances. Everything. We're almost at $200,000, on the ground. They need money for resources. EMTs, paramedics, ambulances.

Everything. We're almost at $200,000, which is amazing. We are going to close the fundraiser. I heard some people want to donate to UNICEF. Save your money. Flush it down the toilet. Would it be better suited if you did that? Okay.

On the ground. We'll post on the Toast Instagram a couple verified organizations that you can donate if you want to help people on the ground. There are so many wounded. Unfortunately, there are going to be more. And this will help them get the tools that they need. And it's really important to know that most of the hospitals in Israel, especially ones in the south, are treatment centers for everyone. And that includes civilians injured in Palestine.

Like, that's the energy in Israel. It's not the same. You're an injured person walking into Gaza. Best of luck to you. Well, you didn't walk in on your own accord. Right. For sure. So yeah. So yeah. So yeah. That's how we feel. That's what's going on. We wanted to take like, I honestly like, I feel like there are so few people who advocate for Israel and it just wouldn't have felt right to, like, do this and then, like, dive into an episode. I'm actually really glad we had today off. Yeah.

So we could just sit and, like, dedicate time and let this episode sit. We'll see what happens with the rest of the week. We will be on all week. We'll be doing shows for sure. You know, we've got sponsors. But thank you for listening. For real. And thank you to the toasters who have really just been fabulous.

I've never been more proud. Proud of the community that we've built. Yeah, for real. Like it really means the world to us, to Jewish people everywhere, to human beings everywhere. So check our Instagram.

Keep correcting people. Yeah. And keep, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. These like, I keep wanting to say animals, but like Theo's an animal.

And Theo's precious. Animals care. Animals love. Animals have empathy. These are barbarians. I honestly feel like that's an insult to barbarians. Wild beasts. I don't know what the right word is, but I'm not good with the words.

It's subhuman. Yeah. But I feel like Ariana took the meaning out of that word. Ariana Maddox. Yeah. She called Raquel subhuman. Yeah. That's actually so true. For sleeping with her mans.

Right, right, perspective. Perspective. So, thank you guys for listening. We adore you all. We will be back tomorrow. And have a great day. And Am Yisrael Chai. Am Yisrael Chai, baby.
