Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Toast and happy Tuesday. And speaking of choose, you know, actually, there is one other person I might choose to be spending the day with besides you. Who? Tinks. Excuse me? I'm so glad you brought, you asked.

Why you gotta bring her into this? I'm so glad you asked. Do I look different today? Yeah, you're wearing sunglasses on the show. Yeah. We are also twinning because we're both wearing baby blue. How cute are we? So cute. And speaking of my sunglasses.

It's giving gender reveal. Speaking of my sunglasses, thank you so much for asking. Speaking of your sunglasses. Yeah, I walked into the studio today to a box from Net-A-Porter from Tinks with a note saying, thank you so much for letting me co-host the toast. It was an honor. I know you left your sunglasses at Jackie's. Here is a new pair from Celine.

Yeah. Okay, but not the same ones because you also got back your sunglasses from my house that I found. Jackie found the glasses and she gave them to me. And I didn't tell Tinks that, thank God, because I wouldn't have these gorgeous Celine sunglasses if I told the truth and the thing about sunglasses specifically black ones you can truly never have enough pairs. That's just so crazy because I thought you were sitting there in the sunglasses that I returned to you being excited that I returned to you sunglasses and it's just like Tinks and I are kind of on the same wavelength that we're both giving sunglasses to Turdy. Battling for Turdy's

heart. No no no we're kind of simpatico. You guys are battling to the death. We're kind giving sunglasses to Turdy. Battling for Turdy's heart. No, no, no. We're kind of simpatico. You guys are battling to the death. We're kind of like so similar. You are, by the way. And we have everything in common. Why? Like, we should just talk to each other.

No, I don't think that you should. I don't think we need Turdy. I don't think you should. Well, in that case, maybe I'd have to, you know, get on a plane and hop over to Mary Orton's house. Mary Orton would love to see you. That's the thing about Mary Orton. you know get on a plane and hop over to mary orton's house mary i would love to see you that's the thing about mary good one and and that's the thing about me too like i would love for you to

hop over to mary okay great we got it yeah great kind of like i love you i love mary orton like a equals b b equals c a equals c Jax equals Tinks Turd equals Mary Orton like why can't the four of us go to dinner so I love you and I love Tinks and if you two ever talked without never the twain shall meet seriously I'll like kill both of you in your sleep how about that never the twain shall meet never the twain shall meet now today's a very exciting day because obviously I'm wearing my new digs from Tinks, which is just, you know, we're already off to a good start. But yesterday. Your new digs? My new sunglasses. Like, okay, I said the wrong word. Did she buy you a house? Okay, I said the

wrong word. What should we do? Should we kill me? Should we stop the whole show? Should we stop the whole show because I said the wrong word? Wow. That's a good strategy that I should implement against you because you do it to me all the time. Well, I just outdid the doer. No, I just, the show must go on. So yesterday we kicked off presale for our residency this summer. We're doing live shows in New York City and the Hamptons this summer. And let me tell you something about the Patreon Swirly's. They showed up and showed out, nearly selling out every single show. And while that's fabulous,

everyone else didn't get a chance. So having said that, major announcement, major announcement. We have added two more shows at the Beacon Theater. That's right, your girls are doing four nights at the Beacon. It's giving Jerry Seinfeld doing a residency, but we're actually doing a residency. Two more nights at the Beacon Theater, August 1st and August 2nd. And we've added one more show at the West Hampton Beach Performing Arts Center in July. So that's six shows total. No. Yeah?

No. Eight shows total. Excuse me. We've added three more. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, tomorrow for everyone at 10 a.m. Eastern time. Meet and Greet is available. I have a feeling it's going to be a battle to the death. People said, you know, getting tickets for the live show yesterday was worse than Eros

tour and the Jonas Brothers. That's just what people are saying. Yeah, I was like, I was in the queue on Ticketmaster. I saw there were over a thousand people. That's right. Like we're kind of like influential. So yeah. I mean, everybody just wants and needs a girly swirly night out.

I think that's what it comes down to. We could even, we could like not even show up and the night would be a success because the swirlies got dressed and got together. But we are showing up. And they just needed, they needed to swirl together also i feel like i'm ttpd but maybe it's because like taylor loves words and we love words but i feel like there are a lot of words that she uses not a lot like a handful that are swirly words like she says the word to swirl around where in one of her songs oh my gosh i'll send it to you the next time I heard it I

thought you had realized like she used the word swirl in a way that she didn't need to do he was giving swirly do you think she knows that the swirlies are swirling do you think she knows the best kept secret in all of Hollywood which is the true meaning of the word swirly no I thought you were gonna say like do you think she knows about the toast about the toast and toast jargon and toast herstory and toasty linguistics. I don't know if she knows about toast herstory. But like in a dead serious sort of manner. Yeah.

I think Taylor has heard of the toast. If not just from our cultural impact. Then from her friendship with Kelly Taylor who has been a lifelong fan of the show. And I believe at one point was even a Patreon member. So yeah I do. Yeah I do. so I don't think those words are so like maybe Kelly Taylor uses the word swirl and by osmosis Taylor does you know what I mean yeah yeah by the way Kelly Taylor definitely uses toasty jargon in everyday

life like she probably is like if you listen she's probably texting Taylor like hey swirly how's Sweden is it a swirly affair in Sweden? Yeah. That's what happens when you listen to the toast every day. Like we just all start to talk alike. And then your friends talk like that too. Do I feel like I'm in a particularly good mood? I feel like you're in a particularly particular mood because you're wearing sunglasses. Sunglasses definitely make me feel like a little drunk, honestly.

Like why am I? Is it dark? It's the daylight. Like it does. It does make me feel a little crazy crazy but I'm in like an amazing mood okay let me tell you why yeah one like I've been doing this thing where I've been waking up probably like an hour earlier than I normally do um I started doing it because like Romeo was just like a lot of work in the mornings they're kind of hard for him and I'm not a morning person no

he just like has like a lot of shits to take take. And who has so much time to just wait around for the shits? And so I set my alarm a little earlier. But now I find myself waking up even earlier. I've been sitting down having breakfast. That's nice. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I sat my ass down and I had breakfast. And then I hung out with Ben a little bit.

I got a little bit of work done. And then I moseyed my way over here, filmed an ad for my Instagram. I've literally lived a lifetime before the show the show used to be like the first thing I did in the morning yeah and I kind of like that it's recently become like the 11th it's become the 11th for me too like I have a whole mornings before the show and it's nice to get stuff done also speaking of breakfast I watched Unfrosted with my husband and I don't know if this happened to anyone else but like now he's buying pop tarts for breakfast like that was not meant to be the wind up from this movie like I don't think there's a worse thing you could eat for breakfast than a pop tart

I mean define worse you mean more delicious yeah you can't have a more delicious breakfast but for your health worse way to start your day bad for your health like a candy bar for breakfast no but it's so good wait what did you think of unfrosted I thought it was so cute like you there was nothing that was going to be in that movie that was gonna make me dislike it like I didn't care what happened like I'm gonna like the movie because like it's historical fiction Marjorie Post girly swirly they went to the nines with the set like it was a little ridiculous redonkulous but it was meant to be and we don't really it was in a category of movie that we don't really get it wasn't like comedy no Jerry was saying that it's like this new I saw an interview he did this new genre of film where like you're teaching people about something that really happened in

a very satirical almost like parody yeah yeah whatever that is I like it I do too except my only issue with the film and maybe it's because I take it so seriously because I read the book it's like calm down it's literally pop-tarts I was like like yeah that's so great like haha Marjorie Post but these kids need to know about Marjorie Post yeah and the fact that Marjorie Post is the villain in this story yeah there's so much more to her but maybe just like a lot of things when I watch a movie about someone I find myself like googling the ancillary character and going down a rabbit hole about them now I can only hope that for the youth and a great place to start and end really is a magnificent lives of Marjorie Post Redhead's book club book Turdy's book club book no I didn't pick it for book club

book in our hearts book in our hearts b-i-o-h speaking of book in our hearts I started a new book last night okay Bad Teacher by Freda McFadden, like, duh. Oh, I actually haven't read that one. Freda McFadden is just, like, the most readable author. She is, but I got to a place where I read a book that was, like, dumb by her, and I was like, oh, I think I might have out-Freda'd the Freda. Oh, I'm back in the Freda, and also Bad Teacher, that's my favorite movie. Yeah, you know, I've been seeing it everywhere, by the way.

And, like, I started it yesterday, already at 50 percent like classic Frida I'm gonna finish it today makes me feel good I read a book I'm back in the reading group like let's go I know what I know what it feels like again to be like up late at night like not wanting to put the book down and then I want to have that feeling again it just fosters wanting to read more and that's kind of what I needed to push because I am so I've read what how many months have there been this year five that's how many redheads books that's how many books I've read this year sorry you're behind, I've read what, how many months have there been this year? Five? That's how many Redheads books, that's how many books I've read this year. Sorry. You're behind.

Because I've only, I've only read for Redheads. Thank God for Redheads or else I would have read zero books this year. And thank God for Frida because now I want to read again. TGFF. Thank God for Frida and her books are like free on Kindle Unlimited. I hope they pay her millions and millions of dollars. I hope so too. Because that's like a great deal.

Also speaking of things we're consuming, I totally forgot to mention this on yesterday's episode and I had wanted to talk about it um young Sheldon came to a finish and I finished it over the weekend with Ben um could you do me this the favor of not spoiling it for me even if it means I have to take my headphones off you know I won't spoil it for you I won't spoil it for anyone because I really feel like you should watch the show not you I'm talking to I'm talking to the audience like I first of all the episode was so it was such an amazing way to end the show like perfect filmmaking cinematography everything and and I loved it and I was hysterically crying during the second to last episode like seriously like me and Ben like we had a pillow in between us like we wouldn't move it like we were both

sobbing because you couldn't look at each other crying? No, just because it was embarrassing to be crying that much over a sitcom. Yeah, so you actually couldn't see him? I like that strategy, by the way. We just happened to have had this big pillow. Nobody put it there. Seriously? Yeah, that's embarrassing. It's not embarrassing.

No, you shouldn't be embarrassed, but you are embarrassed when that happens. They ended the show so perfectly, everything in a little bow. And I was thinking like, like seriously, because yesterday we were talking about, you know, happy meal, sad meal, mental health is like at an all time low. And seriously, they need to bring Young Sheldon back. It needs to be like a government funded thing. People need the show, like joy, laughter, family, positivity, educational. It's about science. Like seriously, it should be on PBS. Like it is necessary.

I think it should be required viewing for everyone in this country. And maybe something like would be done actually about the mental health crisis. Like it's, I'm like, I was upset that the show was over, obviously because I enjoyed it. But also like, seriously, I know a couple of people who could use the show

for their health. Okay. It was so beautiful. I feel so strongly about the show. Seriously. It's such a great show. Never big. I'm going to come back to young Sheldon. I, I only have good feelings about it, but I needed to take a break from it because it was just like, I just needed to break any show that I watched during that time period. time period was at risk of me hating. I can't. So pregnant. So uncomfortable.

I'm the most uncomfortable couch in the world. Just. That was a hard time. So I need to come out of that. Which I feel like I am. So I will. Get on it. Seriously, get on it.

It's so good. I will. But right now I'm in my summer house era. Tried to watch New Jersey last night. But I was spending too much time on my phone that I was like, I not I'm actually turning this off because I'm not watching I'm not paying attention we also have Vanderpump Rules tonight which we will be watching and recapping part two of the reunion and like when is Summer House on what days of the week I have no idea but I'm waiting anxiously I might start watching the after show for more content like oh she's obsessed Summer House is really just like taken over what was the last show that I was watching when I said like it, I had such a strong reaction to it.

Oh, Beverly Hills, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Like I had a really strong reaction to Erica. Yeah. Like a positive in a positive way. That's how I feel right now. Like I'm just very invested so much so that I watched bet it on,

bet it all on blonde. I don't even know if I told everyone. I think you did speak about it briefly and we were all like as a community, we were all shocked that you watched it. Yeah yeah and I enjoyed it and I just enjoy her also I just want to say I don't know if you guys will be able to tell this I don't know what my camera looks like but I'm wearing a bow my hair today I did see you look amazing today well this bow so I got this new sweater that I was going to wear because it was new and then this bow I got from Hill House one of our new sponsors they're sponsors today oh my bow is Hill House, one of our new sponsors. Oh, they're a sponsor today.

Oh, my bow was Hill House. They sent so many cute wares. And they sent me two bows in the package. And then I was wearing this sweater. And I saw my bow on the mantle. And I was like. That's funny. They sent you a bow.

They sent me the biggest robe ever with a huge embroidery. Turdy. Oh, they sent me a robe. Was it like granny print in a good way? No, no. Mine was very hotel. Oh, my robe was granny print. But I don't think I don't think it's monogram. That's so cute. They know us.

They they get us. They really I'm so excited. They're a sponsor. OK, I should have saved that little nugget. And another just like little tidbit, if you're wondering why I'm in such a good mood. Starting like two days ago, it was like the time of year where New York is just like. Gargy pargy. Next level sickening.

I was in the park yesterday for three hours. Have you ever known me to sit in the park? I'm going again today. I'm starting a walking club. Like seriously, the park was so gorgeous. Everyone was out and about like just walking their dogs, getting a tan. I like was walking past like a little softball game. Like it's so sickening.

And I feel like it's the time of year where you live like becomes truly horrendous. Dreadful. That's what I was just about to say like it's I'm happy for you and I feel like you're do your flowers literally the flowers are blooming and that was how I was feeling a few months ago when daylight savings ended it was so nice here we had more daylight and now like it is almost too hot to spend time outside but the good news is and now I can share with everyone because you probably have inferred this that I'm going to be in New York for the summer because we're doing a residency so I'm going to be in New York so like I just have to get to that place you should come sooner like it's so gorgeous like I was walking around the park and I'm like I should be here with the kids like there was so much going on I have an extra bedroom like your whole family can stay in one

bedroom Romeo I'll move Romeo out of that room that's a nice idea no it's seriously like it's so gorgeous out oh and a huge major life update that like seriously has taken over my whole week is and seriously like probably the best thing to ever happen to my husband in his life is that we joined like a golf club and like seriously Ben is never in his life he's always wanted it and I don't know it just never seemed really worth it like you're so wrong for that I'm so wrong for that and I know like the minute I'm sure I hope you already feel this way now you haven't even gone and set foot but like you're gonna wish you did it no you had done it sooner like you should have done this years ago no and then I got like a schedule for like what's going on at the club like meals wise there's a clam bake like seriously

to the cape Jackie there's a carnival like for the the kids, you need to come. Like just come. I will. I'm so glad that you did it. You actually should have done it years ago. Years wasted of your life. So much golf that could have gone down. Carnivals, trips to the Cape. But better late than never.

Yeah. I guess. No, I'm excited. So like it's like seriously, I'm going to be so tan this summer. Like I'm going to spend the whole summer outside. Summer. Between my jogs, things of that nature. Things of which to jog. things of which to jog things of which to jog so I'm just like kind of an amazing mood I can't wait to see like I can't wait to see like what deteriorates it like something's gonna ruin my day you know it's about to happen next thing I'm

gonna say what which is that I would like to advocate since you're in such a great mood and we want to see like that joy in your eyes I would like to advocate for you to take off your sunglasses it's a fair question but I am worried that like the good mood is something like just about the lights like I don't know why I feel like like the lights in here where they're good for like the show also I'm realizing they're so right yeah like we're gonna when we're older there will be some adverse effect for having sat in front of these lights for so long sometimes when we do like back-to-back episodes and I'm just like in the studio for your free hours with the lights on,

I go downstairs and like I'm seeing spots. I should go to an ophthalmologist, like get my eyes checked. Actually, oh my God. Is anyone going to talk about what's going on in this country? I mean, there's a lot to talk about. So where do you want to start? Okay, so I'm turning, you know,

a certain age sometime soon. And I guess my license expires. And like, I don't know when the last time my license expired was, but I remember just being so dazzled that it just showed up at my door. Like, thank you. Like not making me,

I guess it's been an X amount of time. I got to get my eyes checked, which is annoying, but I guess that's good. It keeps, you know, keeps blind people off the road. Like, it's good. But I'm reading this paper they sent me.

Real ID. Do you know what that is? Is that New York or is it ever? No, it's a federal thing. It's everywhere. I'm reading this paper they sent me real ID do you know what that is is that New York or is it ever no it's a federal it's everywhere I saw it at the airport down here my old school license is no longer a valid form of federal identification I have to get and by the way if I want to renew my license and get just like the regular version it will come with a big thing on it's not for federal purposes and federal purposes like that means at the airport tsa you know they tried to do this in 2020 before covid they were like by october 2020 everyone needs you either need your passport or real id and you won't be able to use your nonsense anymore but then because of covid like not everyone could just go out and get

real id and they were like oh okay forget it yeah at least that's how I experienced it. That's not like something I read somewhere. I just remember them being like October 2020, like no more this or that. And now I guess they're dropping the hammer. Oh my god, like the amount of hoops I'm gonna have to jump through to get a fucking license that I can travel with. Like seriously, shoot me now. Not only do I have to go to the DMV, I have to fill out all this paperwork and get my eyes checked. Like seriously, the government, and I mean this with every fiber of my being, grab a fucking spoon and eat my ass, bitch. Like seriously, I'm going to start time traveling. I'm not traveling on a plane. Like I'm going to be taking planes. I'm going to take trains and automobiles. Seriously, this is bullshit. Bullshit. Oh, and of course, like it's going to cost me

money too. Of course. Of course. scheme i'm sick from this can't you just travel with your passport or a passport card yes i can i can okay i know when people don't want to travel with a passport but like you could get a passport card yeah no i can i can but like more hoops yeah no and like how many forms of id do you need like as a law-abiding citizen like yeah what do you ever do i'm being treated seriously like a criminal. Common criminal. And the criminals aren't. No. That's the problem.

They're walking the streets. I'm sick from this. Real ID? More like fake. Fake! Yeah, it's giving scheme. There's the thing. What's the thing?

There it is. The title? No. The thing that was going to deteriorate my good mood oh oh no no we're gonna it always can the real idea I'm reading the stupid fuck I almost threw it out it looked so fake but go to the library like if you if you need to like if you need to stabilize okay however like there's one major major library in New York obviously the New York Public Library is very sex in the city and it's like so sickening there's like four books in there that's like not

where people actually go it's not about like the library experience. It's more of like, you know, landmark monument. It's like going to see the Liberty Bell. And there are other libraries around the city that are much smaller, less fabulous. They're all affiliated. They're all NYPL. But when you think of the New York Public Library,

you think of the, it looks like the Met one. Like it's literally insane. Like nobody goes there to read. Everybody goes to to the other ones like the satellite NYPLs and they're not nearly as good yeah because the NYPL like is just not doing library things and I feel like yeah in the city you don't get that like small town library experience that so much of of us have like come to love and rely on yeah And there was something else. But when it gets really hot where you are, that's a good summertime activity, library. I know.

But there was something else recently that was giving government that I wasn't disliking. I would love to hear. Me too. I would love to remember. If I ever remember. It sounds too good to be true doesn't it yeah

okay I think it's time for the fast five stories I do too and I think it's time for the sunglasses to come off why oh because I want to look you in the eyes and tell you that I love you you want to come between me and Tex everything. And everything's all right. Okay, Jackie wants to say the number one girly in my life. So I'll take them off for you. I'm blind. I know that you want me to beef with Tinks. But I love your friendship with Tinks.

I think it's so good for you. Sure. She seems like a really great influence in your life. I love that. I agree. I feel like she's always like pushing you to do things that I endorse. Yeah. So there's no hate, no shade from me.

Okay. No hate, no shade. Okay. And that's my, and by the way, like what are the odds? That's my favorite word. Tinks. Tinks. Now without further ado, here are the fast five stories that you need to know and the fast five

had declined an offer from OpenAI before the company used a voice eerily similar to hers. So major drama between ScarJo and Sam Altman, Open AI, Chat GPT. Sam Altman is becoming like so crazy. The villain in this story. Yeah. When he kind of started as the people's champion for a second.

I think because like no one knew what got on and it just like looked bad that he started the company. Then it was ousted and Ilya took over and it was giving coup but then i read elon's book and sam doesn't seem like the good guy the good guy the scarjo says she declined an offer from open ai to voice the artificial intelligence research organization's new chat gpt 4.0 system called sky which now she feels sounds exactly like her so she told Page Six in a statement on Monday that she received an offer from Sam Altman in September, 2023, to be the voice of their talking AI,

like their Siri voice. He wanted to be Scar Jo because of her role in that movie, Her, where she did play a robot and she also has like a very nice sounding voice. But she said, he told me that he felt that by me voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and AI. He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people.

After much consideration and for personal reasons, I declined the offer. After OpenAI held a live demonstration of the voice last week, Scarlett said her friends, family, and the general public all noted how much the newest system named Sky sounded like her. In fact, she pointed out that many compared Sky to her voice in the 2013 film Her, which is about a man who falls in love with Samantha, the female voice of his computer's operating system. She said, when I heard the release demo, I was shocked, angered, and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference. She told Page Six going on to mention that Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional when he tweeted the word her after the company announced the new chat GPT version. By the way, all signs point to them,

you know, obviously even the name Sky Scarlet, like it's the tweet everything I just want to say I don't hear her you don't hear it I don't hear her in there at all so when I listen to it now I I'm seeing scar nodes of scarlet I'm hearing those of scarlet but if I had listened on my own I think that maybe I would have been like this sounds like scarlet Johansson but I feel like yeah maybe her friends and family they're so used to hearing her voice they could hear it anywhere but it's clear that like he had an idea he wanted her voice she said no so he got Farleth Johansson and that's the vibe he wanted like I just want to say I'm not hearing Scarlett at all like and she has a really distinct voice it's like kind of lower register it is but I feel like in the movie

maybe she she went with her higher register and like her sweetie voice perhaps I didn't hear it whatsoever and I do wonder like what the first of all I found it very interesting that she declined the offer because I'm sure it was a shit ton of money yeah but I understand why she I feel like she probably has reasons but I also feel if it were me it's like who knows how AI is gonna go It's kind of like one of the biggest questions. Like, is it AI going to change the world for the better? Or is it going to be the end of civilization and humanity? Is it going to kill us all?

And do I want my voice to be the poster child for it? No. I would have said no. I would have said no, too. And I have to imagine like the offer was like millions and millions of dollars. Yeah. Maybe I wouldn't have said no too um and I have to imagine like the offer was like millions and millions of dollars yeah maybe I wouldn't have said no um so interesting that she said no I don't necessarily hear it but all the details of this story the tweet the name them previously having made an offer like obviously it's giving Scarlett yeah that's like they that's the voice that they wanted

they were inspired by her even when she said no so funny that. That's the voice that they wanted. They were inspired by her even when she said no. So funny that that's the voice that they had in mind. He obviously has this weird obsession. He probably jerks off to that movie. For sure. He has something for Scarlett. And I get it. She's like a gorgeous Jewess.

I get it. But her voice, I guess she does do a lot of voiceover work. Yeah, maybe he loves Sing also. Sing, that's what she's in. That song is so good. Sing it for me. Because she's a porcupine? Her original porcupine song. I found my heart into the fire

got burned after down by desire I'm into deep. I've watched that movie a million times with Mikayla. That song is good. That song is good. That was like the one when I saw the movie. I saw it in theaters. Like the things like I used to do With my free time

And I remember Like that song I added to my playlist That's why like I know it so well It's really good Yeah How does the chorus go?

Yeah let me just Is that sing one or two? I think one right? That's sing one And then in sing two And then her porcupine needles Start to like Project into the audience

In sing two I think she sings, oh, Set It All Free. Set it all free, this is my kiss good night. This is my, yes. Set it all free. In Sing To, I'm pretty sure she sings that song that's originally by that band, The Stripe or whatever. But the song is, or no, I think Halsey sings it in Sing To,

but it's just, Halsey's in Sing To, right? Wrong tree. Wrong tree. Oh, true. I've got to text Olivia. Yeah, Olivia knows everything to know about the same franchise. Could have been me.

Could have been me. It could have been. That is Halsey. That's like know about the Sing franchise. Could have been me. Could have been me. It could have been. That is Halsey. That's like an underrated kids franchise. I feel like it kind of, like, it gives, you know what it gives? Like generic brand cereal, you know? It's like, I don't feel like, I don't feel like the Sing franchise was put on by like a Pixar or a Disney. I feel like it was just kind of giving like third party energy.

It's giving like movie made by AI. We don't have original ideas of our own. We're going to repurpose great songs. Like we're great at curating and finding the songs, but it's like just a talent show for us to like license these songs and make more money from them. Oh, so the reason why. But I don't think any like any kids are like sleeping

with a plush doll of Buster Moon. Olivia's kids might be like dead ass. They love and they like when they're in the car, they're like Buster Moon, Buster. Like they want to listen of Buster Moon. Olivia's kids might be like dead ass. They love, when they're in the car, they're like Buster Moon, Buster, like they want to listen to Buster Moon. Buster Moon is so fucking annoying.

I agree. Worst fucking character in the movie. Yeah, it always is the protagonist. Who do you identify with? Because I'm obviously Tori Kelly, the elephant who can sing. Yeah,

you are. I like Johnny. The gorilla. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Taron Egerton voices that character. It's a star-studded affair. I mean,. The gorilla. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Taryn Egerton voices that character. It's a star-studded affair. I mean, Reese Witherspoon is a piglet.

And then, like, Reese Witherspoon plays, like, the mother who's, like, too stressed out. Like, the homesteading trad wife who has the voice of an angel and just wants to sing with her. She's a homesteading trad wife pig. With the voice of an angel who wants to sing with her pig friend, Nick Kroll. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The movie's really good. Like. It is really good

but there's really like oh and also like the best actor of our time and singer and just trifecta Seth MacFarlane is he Buster Moon no he plays the mouse Buster Moon is Matthew McConaughey oh yeah no I'm telling you I don't know what about it gives generic off-brand like Pixar because like there's no big media company behind it. It's that I feel like the characters are kind of two-dimensional because there are so many that we don't really, okay, so like, yeah, she's shy and now she sings. We don't get invested in their personal stories.

She's shy and now she sings. Yeah, she's the mom and then she sings. She's the nerd who takes off his glasses and realizes he's handsome. Like it's literally two dimensions. Mom, sing. Shy, sings. By the way, the reason I brought up sing, I just want to bring it back to my original point, is when I think of, like, iconic voices, I really don't think of Scarlett Johansson.

Obviously, like, Morgan Freeman comes to mind. But, okay, maybe they wanted a woman. Like, whose voice is so distinct in the culture, you know? And not annoying like and not like silly cartoon right like who's always getting tapped for Pixar shit I feel like Ellen honestly Ellen she would have done it oh for sure she would have taken the money and ran oh for sure she would have taken the money and ran oh for sure for sure um so I know you don't hear the ScarJo comparison I do feel like that's a kind of a cop-out to having a take on this story oh my god you think I'm okay let me listen to it one more time hold on let me pull it up on like

TikTok that's where I saw it because like who's that who's that you're gonna take I'll tell you okay let me listen one more time I feel like I'm I'm taking Scar Jo's side because I want to and because more so that I feel like Sam Altman is a bad faith actor that's why I said I'm excited about teaming up with you and I'm all set to dive in so how can I make your life easier okay now it sounds like her yeah it sounds like her so what do you think now I think it's not cool I think it is reflective dare I say emblematic of Sam Altman's nefarious intentions with with society yeah and I stand I stand with Scar Jo and firmly against AI although I will continue to use AI where it benefits me and I tell you my recent beef with AI?

I mean that's the purpose of this show of course you can. I feel like so many companies now like when I think of AI like to me there's just like something magical about it where it just like does these things that you can't explain and it it just does and I feel like so many companies now like claim that they have AI built into their products. And it's like, actually it's not giving AI, like it's, it's very technical. And I feel like it's tele technology that's been around for a while. And I feel like everything's claiming to have an AI integration when it

doesn't. And I feel like I'm getting scared. Like I downloaded a video editing app and they were like, we have, it's an AI video editing app. So I'm like, Oh great magic for my video. Thanks.

And it was literally I movie. The AI was not in the room with us. But I do use AI for work in like a few different capacities. One that I thought was so major is like, when you have multi-camera angles, like not how we set it up, but if we were both in the same room and we have three different cameras,

to splice together those three different cameras probably would take someone, like even a proficient video editor, minimum two hours of an hour long show and there is a tech where they they can use ai to do it in like 60 seconds take three camera angles and perfectly like when you're solo camera when you're talking it'll go to your solo camera it was really brilliant um and so i don't feel bad about using ai like to streamline my work or and a lot of people are like well it's putting people out of jobs so did the assembly line you know the factory like like that's that's

industrialization that's just the world we live in then when it gets to like you know taking over the world yeah no I stand firmly against AI but like to make things in my life easier yeah and cheaper yeah and my feeling is AI is gonna AI you. You know, it's out there. The ball is in motion. Why not, while I'm still not been replaced by a robot, take advantage of some of these things? But I feel good, and I know we always say this, knowing like my job is safe in a world of AI. Yes, at least as AI stands right now.

Yeah. And that's nice. And where we stand right now. So I don't know what's next for Scargo, Jo, and a part of me, I feel like Sam Altman also is the type of person who's into the fame, and wanted a big name for his platform,

because if he really just liked her voice, he could have done a modified version of her voice without ever telling, he could have had it inspired by it, and maybe it would have been a little weird and similar, but the fact that he asked her, she said no, and he still copied it, no it's it's loser and he definitely gives one of those like really toxic founders like who's obsessed with his name in the press

yeah and I'm sure that's why he was usurped at one point yeah the usurper and I just want to say like Elon tried to tell us and no one was listening but I'm listening and learning so much about the tech world but I definitely hit a seat definitely I definitely hit a ceiling with like how much I care about like Silicon Valley antics like I don't care that much it's giving you know first world problems yeah and it's giving like you guys create the problems and then you complain about them I don't want to hear about it them onto us like seriously go fuck yourself like we're just lay people we're all just like trying to make it to the end of the day yeah and you guys are just like zoomed out masters of the universe puppeteers and then leave us out of it for me complaining

when like you played with your dolls and and then didn't have fun. No, leave us alone. Like you puppeteered too close to the sun and now it's our problem? It's not. I refuse. I'm foisting it back. You know, I reject. I reject. You're foist. Are you ready for our next story, which is romance news?

Yeah. Breakup news. Yeah. Heartbroken news. Harry Styles and his girlfriend Taylor Russell have broken up after one year of dating so Harry Styles and his girlfriend Taylor Russell have broken up a source says they went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan in April and are taking some time apart they added that the couple's happy relationship became strained recently I want to say that I

was never particularly invested in this relationship it didn't like do do much for me, except it introduced me to Taylor Russell. I hadn't heard of her prior to Harry Styles. And then I think she was probably one of the best dressed people at the Met Gala. She's kind of like an it girl in fashion. And I'm grateful to know her now. And I'm sorry that the relationship ended. But you know, there is hope yet for us. Oh, okay.

I didn't know that he had a girlfriend. I did not know that this was his girlfriend. I saw her at the Met Gala. I'm pretty sure she is the person who every single person who like, who has a take on these things, loved her dress. She was wearing Luabe, right?

Yeah. She was definitely like the best dress. Like, you know, if you add up everyone's score, Eurovision style, she had the highest everybody love what you are I love what she wore and now I'm the thing is like I didn't know they were dating I didn't

have a thought about their relationship and now I'm sad yeah I know like now I hadn't heard of her now I have to mourn a relationship that I never even got to celebrate I hadn't heard of her before she dated Harry Styles so let's not more let's not be sad that it's over let's be glad that it happened. And now we have like an it girly to follow. True. And she had a couple of major moments. She wore that like cement jacket to that Paris Fashion Week show

and got seated next to Anna Wintour. And that video of her taking the jacket off like went super viral because Anna was like freaking out. Do you know what I'm talking about? No. Just Google Taylor Russell, Anna Wintour. I will. That seems like something that like went viral on TikTok, you know? I'm talking about? No. Just Google Taylor Russell Anna Wintour. I will.

That seems like something that like went viral on TikTok, you know? And that's the sort of stuff I miss not being on it. She's just like an it girlie of the moment. And I hope she continues to have that sort of energy, even though she's not dating Harry Styles anymore. But I read that they had broken up because he like desperately wanted kids. Did you see that? I saw a take that like he wants kids.

And yeah, I mean, that makes sense kind of because he's what 28 and he did just come out of a relationship where he was like being a stepfather for many years yeah he's 30 that's an age where a man might be like I'm ready to start a family and that's also an age she's 29 where she might be like I'm not ready today yeah let's go our separate ways and I know like there are a family. And that's also an age. She's 29 where she might be like, I'm not ready today. Yeah. Let's go our separate ways. And I know like there are a lot of women out there who want to give Harry Styles children. No, but just like imagine not wanting to like seriously be impregnated by Harry Styles. Like she's genuinely too cool.

Yeah. Like this is like the most on brand thing. Because what do we know about her? Not much. Except that she's exceptionally cool. And yeah. Oh, Harry. No, I'm not really interested in having your children. Cool. Yeah. This is like the most on brand thing because what do we know about her? Not much except that she's exceptionally cool. And yeah, Harry, no, I'm not really interested in having your children. Cool.

Yeah. Could never be me. Yeah. Could never be any of us. Right. So but hopefully, you know, the next one's the one. Should we go to the list? Well, we should definitely add him to the list.

I don't know if there's anyone on the list that. The list kind of skews a little older. Like a lot of people with children. Don't you agree? We should start like an under 35 and an over 35 list. Did they already date Camille Marone? They didn't. They should.

They should. Great. And I think they're both like the same age-ish and on the same level. I feel like she would be down. She's like, I feel like she would be down. She seems mature. Yeah. I think she's 26 because isn't that like when Leo Capps calls it a day? Yeah, but that was like two years ago. So maybe she's like 27. No, I feel like it was a year ago and she was, his cap is 25. Let's see. Tammy Marone age. 26. 26.

Okay. Love it. Okay. Ship? I do. I think that's actually a good ship too. Me too. But if she is 26, like, you know, that is a little bit younger.

Maybe she's not ready for kids yet either. But you're right. I don't know why. Maybe I just think that because of yet either. But you're right. I don't know why. Maybe I just think that because of the character she played in Daisy Jones. But she feels really mature. She feels mature and ready for children. And the way she dresses, too. She doesn't dress, like, super young and thotty.

She's, like, very mature. No, able to have a rock star's babies. Be there as a support system. Yeah, she's kind of, like, this was, like, kind of the role of a lifetime. Yeah, she was so good at it because it came so naturally. Correct. Are you ready for our next story? What number?

Three. Yeah. Charlie Puth is finally reacting to Taylor Swift name dropping him on the tortured poets department. Okay. Sort of. So Taylor Swift obviously name dropped Charlie Puth in her latest album, TTPD. And he told his Instagram followers on Tuesday he's releasing a new song my new song hero is about when you see someone you love hurting

themselves ruining the things in their life that are good but you just can't save them he called it one of the hardest songs he's ever written he said I wrote it hoping that you've gone through something similar in your life and that it can fill in the blank for you like it did for me I'm very excited to share my next album with you, especially this song, because it's a great representation of what's to come. While noting that he has never put out a song like this before, he gave her a shout out, tailored.

He said, it's very difficult for me, but I want to thank Taylor Swift for letting me know musically that I just couldn't keep this on my hard drive any longer. Wait, no, I'm obsessed that, I didn't know where this was going. I'm like, what the fuck does this song have to do with Taylor Swift?

She gave him the confidence. I'm obsessed. Either she gave him the confidence I'm obsessed either she gave him the confidence like just because of that lyric or that lyric inspired a conversation between the two of them like he sent her some new music and she was like you have to drop this no I think it's just like I don't think we need to look any further than what he's saying like she literally released a song like basically saying he's talented and he should be way more popular than he is and then he said to himself I am talented yeah I should be more popular than I am so I feel like if this song is really good between like the Swifties who are invested in this whole story like it could be a major song and there's a reason why it shouldn't

be good he's like pitch perfect he has a perfect voice he's got like music he's very talented he's got the music in his bones and like I'm this is also just brilliant marketing we wouldn't be talking about Charlie's new song of course he saved it he saved the moment for so he could use it in a promotional way I respect the hustle I seriously do too like i'm like may 24th can't come soon enough three days away yeah three days away till hero drops and i by the way i love that word tdth three days till hero don't you love the word hero it's a word that like still means something and then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside, but you know you can survive. So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you

and be strong. And then you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you. Yes, I agree. It hasn't been destroyed yet. Like, you're a hero. Yeah. No, it has not been. Hero Gibbs, like, running into a burning building.

Yeah. Yeah. Who's your hero? Oh, that's such a big question. Turdy Lou. I would agree. i would say that turdy lou's my hero too also speaking of ships that have been risen in the waters of swift sabrina carpenter was on snl not a story just a note i saw some clips of her performance and she's just too much no no it's so crazy to me that someone who's like that adorable and and perfect like is actually having success because I feel like it's always

like you know I'm always rooting for the sabrinas of the world and they never get their flowers and it's always just like you know people who are doing like ugly dark things yeah darkness always wins dark and like she's the light and I'm like so happy that everyone is seeing the light. And I just read a story. She's slated to announce an arena tour. Like I couldn't be happier for this girl's success. I completely agree. Girls like her never win. Like her whole vibe is like baby doll.

Her aesthetic, like her point of view. And I actually think it's just like her genuine like interests and aesthetic. I love it. Like the baby doll, the bright colors, feathery. It's like vintage, feminine, girly, swirly the music matches the makeup matches the hair matches the girl matches the girl matches everything soul of the girl and that's also why I'm in a good mood not me popping down to the studio today my airpods in that's that me espresso Like seriously, I love her. I agree. And she killed it on SNL. A lot of people were like, is she going to reference, you know, and then they

were like, Sabrina didn't do anything about Jake Gyllenhaal, like in her outro. And she gave him a hug. Like why should like whatever happened between Taylor and Joe outshine this huge moment for her? Like seriously, I'm glad she didn't actually. And I don't think Taylor would have wanted that for her either. Like this is a huge moment. Let's let it be about Sabrina. Yeah. Except I thought that hug was really friendly for like a guy your bestie fucking hates. 10 minute song.

Yeah, but you know what they say about SNL? It's like that week that you're there, you're like in the trenches. It's like camp. Camp friends. Yeah. Yeah, you have like kind of like survivors like this bond like I don't know I could see them having like spent long nights not love or anything but you just end up with like a real bond a sisterhood I feel like he loves her but she doesn't want him I mean who couldn't love

Sabrina and he likes like a young girl I love her and Barry Keoghan by the way oh yeah no I don't think she looked twice at Jake Gyllenhaal I think she's like who's this dirty old man no by the way he's low-key short like seeing her next to him based on what we know about him like he likes him young and sweet and innocent that's literally her thing she's like he loves her she's not sweet and innocent though I actually think like no no she's too much woman for Jake Gyllenhaal she actually it's it's true everything we're talking about her brand like there is also like a strength a strength no but also like there's maturity there and a little bit of like sexual and not a little bit a lot of sexual innuendo but she's you know a grown woman yep so that's fine but I feel like he fell in love with her yep and she didn't even notice

because like ew who are you? Agreed, grandpa. Are you ready for our fourth story? Is it the fourth story that's brought to you by Hill House, the company of your bow today? It is.

It can be really awkward or difficult and you feel like maybe you're not doing it right. That's why Maybelline New York created the Brave Talk training. It's going to help people navigate mental health conversations with their friends. And brave is an acronym. It's five easy steps to having a brave talk. B for be present. R for do it in the right setting. A for ask questions. V for validate feelings. And E, encourage action. Because it is brave to ask for help, so let's be brave together.

Maybelline is committed to donating $10 million to NGO partners and providing free access to one-on-one professional support to 3 million people by 2025 so that no one has to struggle alone.

Our next story, a little drama elvis's granddaughter riley keough is calling graceland foreclosure sale attempt fraudulent in court docs so it's a lot of legal jargon drama real estate drama okay how is it going into foreclosure like pay your bills i know well so riley keough elvis's granddaughter and the heir to graceland aris is calling a foreclosure like pay your bills i know well so riley keogh elvis's granddaughter and the heir to graceland aris is calling a foreclosure sale of the famed property fraudulent in a recently filed complaint the 34 year old is the trustee of the promenade trust and is seeking to block

nausani investments in private lending llc from selling presley's iconic memphis home in a non judicial sale scheduled for thursday may 23rd keo also claims in the complaint that the llc may not even be a real entity her 60-page lawsuit obtained by people on monday was filed in response to that llc the other one long name claiming that her late mother lisa marie presley borrowed 3.8 million dollars and gave them a deed of trust encumbering graceland as security before her 2023 death riley alleges that the note and deed of trust are fraudulent and unenforceable the purported note and deed of trust are products of fraud and those individuals who were involved in the creation of such documents are believed to be guilty of the

crime of forgery she asked that the court grant a straining order against that LLC or any party acting in concert with them from conducting any non-judicial sale of the property okay so she's saying like this company's fake they never worked with lisa and they're just like fraudulent pull grace on out from underneath her that's like really crazy yeah really crazy so at the very sounded like her gran made some poor financial decisions and like perhaps this company is entitled yeah well if that's the case then they. But she's saying that's not the case. This isn't even a real LLC. And at the very least, she's getting a restraining order

to, I think, halt the foreclosure sale so that the judicial system can figure this out. You know, I feel like there are so many, like, like, Elvis' estate, I feel like, for many years was mishandled. Like, it's, like, low-key messy over there. And now that Riley is, like, the sole heir, like, I really hope she gets it together like has Elvis not been through enough like when that

guy was stealing from him his manager like literally stole all of his money like can the man rest in peace yeah also I feel like Graceland is landmark should be landmark it's something it's definitely so who who knows but yeah I think she's got a lot of work ahead of her of like cleaning this up. But I think she's up for the task. Yeah, it's like really crazy that she's just like this girl like who was in that Amazon show. But she's like the heir to Graceland. It's really crazy.

To me, it's not crazy because to me, she was always the heir to Graceland. And then she got an Amazon show. I had never heard of her. Like really, I had heard of her, but I never paid attention. Like when she got the role of Daisy Jones, it was Elvis' granddaughter got the role.

Of course. And I'm sure she was having success in her career and ready to bust out from being Elvis' granddaughter. And now she has to like do all this stuff and her name's constantly in headlines with Elvis. That's my issue seriously with nepotism. Like it doesn't bother me that they get opportunities. When they act like they're not, like, let's be fucking real.

She would never have gotten that role. She would never have gotten that role. Oh, I agree. I don't think she's acting like she's not. I think she's just like, yes, I am. And also, I'm my own person, and here's what I'm going to do. No, and that's great. And she set out doing those other things, but now she's pulled back.

I don't like that. She's being pulled back into the Elvis sphere. I don't like when, like, nepo kids, like sphere I don't like when like nepo kids like want to get out from that like sorry that's why you're here and you'll stay in the shadow like go on tour with his hologram sing next to him Elvis and his granddaughter one night only Vegas singing the hits like sure but Elvis never met did he meet his granddaughter no no no that's also crazy yeah because there's two yeah lisa marie was like a child i think right yeah and priscilla is still alive right yeah riley's mom died but i think her grandma's alive yes yes but there's like contention yeah anyway so we're constantly talking about her in concert with the Presleys and I wish in concert I wish in concert that was like the wrong choice of word because it

was confusing it was pun it was pun but it was no pun intended it was pun it was pun it was pun it was giving i have purse what it's a tiktok joke you don't get that what did you say though i could i have purse it's giving i have a purse i have purse yes i have fun do you know i have fun are you ready for our fifth and final story? Oh my God, our time to, I don't know. I'm feeling a little bright. No, I think I'm ready. Can't see the haters.

Blocking them out. Our fifth and final story, some content production news we've been waiting for. Yellowstone begins production on their final episodes ahead of slated November 2024 return. I have such a hot take. Don't say it. Let me say this first. Let me just say the deets.

Otherwise, I never will. On May 20th- Because I saw Kevin Costner on the cover of GQ in his underwear or whatever magazine it was and it's seriously like, put your pants on and get to work. Get on your horse, save the ranch.

Stop it. Put your pants on and go home. Put your hat on and get these grifters out in Montana. No, like actually like, put your big boy pants on, get the fuck up and go to work. Yeah.

Seems like nobody wants to work these days. On May 20th, Paramount announced that the second half of season five of the hit Western series has started production as filming has begun in Montana. As previously announced, the episodes are still slated to return in November. The second half of the season

was initially slated for last November, but due to the writer's strike, production was delayed despite much of the cast expressing their desire to return. And then also there was just like vibes and inner turmoil. Bad vibes. Bad vibes. Kevin was getting a little too big for his britches.

Like Matthew McConaughey's coming in. And then he also like was going through this really, really nasty divorce at the time of all of this. And like doing another movie when it's like, no, you're here to for John Dutton. And so my hot take, because remind remind me again when was the last episode aired they did a mid-season finale yeah when a like a year ago more more yeah and then I was because I was in my old apartment like seriously like way more and my hot take is like seriously I don't even know if I care anymore I don't know if I do I'll have to see when the episode comes back like I'll have to see seriously if I care I will watch it and I care and that show had become like a comfort show was becoming

like a soap opera towards the end which I like like it's giving dynasty um my issue is that the magic is ruined a little bit like knowing that everyone kind of fucking hates each other and nobody wants to really be a cowboy anymore. Yeah. Like you had magic in a bottle and it's not good enough for you. I agree. It's giving like, where's the gratitude?

And I think that might emulate when we watch it. It's like, I'm going to be thinking like, no one here is grateful. And there's also like competing coffee companies, right? No, well,

there was competing logos. Like, right, right, right. Rip was being sued, right? No, well, there was competing logos. Right, right, right. Rip was being sued, right? By Taylor Sheridan. Taylor Sheridan. Rip started a coffee company called Free Rain Coffee that had a logo. And the logo obviously looked a lot like Ranchi Vibes. And it looked a lot like the logo of Taylor Sheridan's...

Coffee? Or worth... Oh, was it not his... Boss Ranch Craft Coffee. It was Coffee Wars. It was Coffee Wars. Sheridan's Coffee? For worth Oh Was it not his Boss Branch Craft Coffee It was Coffee Wars It was Coffee Wars

It was the Coffee Wars Like that's not good TNG That's gonna make for Awkward Set Atmosphere There's not harmony

Harmony There's acrimony That's The perfect use of the word The set will have An acrimonious Atmosphere Meanwhile Kevin's like Kind of spiraling Hates the show that's the perfect use of the word. The set will have an acrimonious atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Kevin's like kind of spiraling, hates the show, I feel. This is my feeling. Like at the drop of a hat, like Matthew McConaughey's like waiting in the stable to take over. No, Kevin Costner is counting down the minutes till the show ends so he can get paid and go home. I don't like it.

Not one bit. I mean, Niall Taylor Sheridan like has a whole universe now so he's kind of like checked out for sure he's also probably still like mentally affected by you know like seeing me at stagecoach and running the other way like he probably is like working through that in an emotional sense so I feel for him I do yeah because he was obviously like so taken with my beauty that he just had to seriously run the other way and like not want to meet me so I get it you know I just like it bothers me that everyone couldn't just keep it together until the show was over and like because the magic is ruined now you know what it's giving for lack of a better word Dublin Portal like we can't just have something nice

we can't just have something good no yeah without humanity pulling its pants down and taking a big dump on it literally the portal's back the portal's returned with 24 hour surveillance there's a guard who stands there

what will the guard even do if someone whips out a tit? Whips a titty out. Like, you can't touch a person. Yeah, I don't know. But maybe someone would feel less inclined to do that with, like, a guard. I don't know. And it's really that important that we talk to Dublin?

That's definitely an interesting way of looking at the situation. Like, what do we have to say to one another at this point? And, like, me, I don't. Jackie, what do we have to say that hasn another and like me Jackie what do we have to say that hasn't already been said it's so true and like I'd be down like take the portal somewhere else like let's see what the vibes would be if they'd be showing 9-11 pictures constantly moved if in Madrid what's happening in Madrid you know what I definitely would love to see what's going on in Madrid way more than I would like to see what's going on in Dublin like no hate to Dublin

but like but hate you know yeah I feel like we saw what's going on in Dublin. Like no hate to Dublin, but like, but hate, you know? Yeah. I feel like we saw what we needed to see. They saw what they needed to see. And we can call it. Like there's a reason we don't live together. We can call it. Yeah. Or like, what about New York to LA?

No, I'm really not interested in seeing what those freaks are up to. Like seriously, put me, put it seriously. Like in the ocean, I would love to watch what goes on in the ocean. You know what I mean? Like that's interesting. But that's basically just like an episode of planet earth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, it's not a live stream, but still. Yeah. I would want like a live stream to like a cool climate. What about like Antarctica? Yeah.

Like literally I'm Lisa Vanderpump. I'm in love with dogs, but i'm not crazy about bitches like show me the animals okay take the take the portal to the safari to a amazon well there is that and it should be sponsored by amazon there's a new documentary coming out for like planet earth do you see that for queer animals for queer yeah You know what it reminded me of? Instantly. Tell me if anybody else had this thought. The monologue from Chuck and Larry. What's, oh.

Dolphins, seahorses. You know when she says like all the queer, all the mammals that like mate with the same gender. Oh, no. I only saw that movie once. It's this girl's monologue, come to life. That is so funny. Yeah, it's for Pride Month. They're doing like um queer trans animals out in
