It's Jackson, Claude and every show the fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off, swirly. It's the toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast. It's Thursday. Yeah, like latter half that we didn't really earn, but whatever. We didn't, but we're enjoying.

I like that little, like, we're enjoying. It's giving rise and shine. We are enjoying. Except this weekend is a bit of work. It's not the hard holiday, but like a lot of cooking. a lot of hosting. Rush Ashana is Friday night and Saturday night. I'm spending the entire holiday at my in-laws.

Like not a dish to be cleaned, no backbreaking work. And I'm really like looking forward to it. That's exciting. Olivia's doing the first night and then I'm doing the second night. So I'm excited and nervous to host in my new house. Of course. So much pressure.

We have our dining table, like our formal dining table, but we don't have a kitchen table yet. But I guess regardless, we would have been doing Rosashana at the formal dining. So it's okay. I'm like nervous. There's a rug under.

the table like don't spill but we'll have a kids table we'll have kids table with their little you know play table and then adults a rug underneath the dining table is so chic and I'm not just saying that because I have one no no it's really party but it's nerve-wracking a thousand percent I hope you didn't like spend a lot of money and like you got one that's like micro fiber or whatever knowing you you probably got like a silk rug from Persia like Rorschach what are they called that's the that's an artist or shack I don't know I don't know but I'm sure. You probably got like a stark rug, okay?

No, it's very beautiful. But I'm excited. I think I'm going to, and I have to like plan the menu, but I think I'll make a brisket. Keep it easy. Jake Cohen brisket, make it on Friday. We're doing short ribs.

The sides and everything on Saturday. And just as easy as can be. Also, status update, my stove is working. I feel like a caveman who just discovered fire, like we can make anything we want with all of this fire. How exciting. And now I feel whole again. That's great.

I can't wait to see what you cook up for me. Oh, I'm coming to visit soon. I know I'm very excited. After the holidays, you know, kind of life update on my, actually have a lot to share today. First of all, major news with Romeo. And it was so crazy because we were just talking about Romeo. I have to tell you guys are ready for this update.

I can't believe this is the biggest update, but it kind of is. My story actually comes with a photo and the photo is going to be on screen. So if you're going to add it, we're going to take the time to add it. I already sent it. I said, get it up. Okay. So, so funny, we were talking. yesterday about the grooming.

And Romeo, I said, you guys, like, because I cheaped out in the Hamptons, like, he still hasn't been groomed, he looks huge. Now, I told you also that he was at my in-laws. And of course, my in-laws are the best. They don't even ask. They just take care of things. They got him groomed. They've got him groomed multiple times.

I'm not like that particular. Just, like, cut his hair and make him clean. Cut, too. My father-in-law says, picks him up and sends me this picture. And I didn't know that he was getting groomed. So I assumed that I was getting a photo from, like, the day Romeo was born. And we were just, like, taking a trip down. relay and I'm like oh how sweet no the photo was from yesterday he got butchered like legit

chopped insert photo here I had no idea his ears were that small and I literally like it's a combination of like the photo itself it's giving like Hamas tunnel it's giving hostage the cut is really bad and I was shocked like I and I did first of all like I wasn't mad or anything because like they're doing me a favor. It's not their fault. They didn't cut his hair and they intentionally taken to a bad place. She said, I said keep the ears long just cut. Like the thing that you say, they just

sort of like went rogue. And I imagine like it's worse in person. My sister-in-law went to her parents yesterday and like was sending me pictures. She was like it's even worse. It's like it's choppy. It is really bad. I was floored. I've never the thing about Romeo like obviously we have a complicated relationship but like I've always found him to be like

extremely beautiful. Like he's one of the most cutest handsome cavaliers I personally ever seen. He's cuter than Theo. Like I stand on that. Stand on business. And like, let me tell you he looks ugly. Like I was botched.

Batched. By the groomed. Guys, this photo. The picture is so funny. Yeah, he does look like a newborn puppy. How did they not take off ear? Like, how is that all hair? How does he still have cartilage in his ear?

Like, I was, he was irreconizable to me. And like, you know, I thought it was literally a picture from the day he was born. Like, where they come out. They're kind of wet and like slick. I literally thought it was a birth photo, newborn photo shoot of Romeo. No, this was 12 hours ago. You guys have to see the photo if you're listening as a podcast. Like Claudia will post it to her story.

Of course, yeah. It's really too much. And not to, you know, rub salt in the womb, but Bruno happened to get groomed yesterday as well. And he, like, looked gorgeous. He looks amazing. However, like you said, you're coming down here soon and I think we should get the two-for-one special because Bruno's like...

So I am coming down. Bruno, I seriously looked at Bruno this morning on my way at the door. I was like, Bruno, you look his handsome. You look like a two-year-old. You look so young and sprightly and cute. New House agrees with Bro. New House. So that chicken bone agrees with Brutow.

You guys, we haven't heard it's fatal. I know people. We're very nervous, but you guys. It's like eating a grape. We're like 36 hours out from Chicken Gate, nothing. Well, the thing is I think we're up to like life six or seven with Bruno and you know he has nine lives. So you are getting up there, but the chicken boat is not going to take him out.

Yeah. No, it's not going to take him out, but it's contributing. to the eventual demise for sure. But like Bruno's living the life, he's living life in the way that he wants. You know what I mean? Like he's living a very happy, fulfilled life. He's living out loud.

He's living out loud. Don't you find? He's living out loud for sure. For sure. And whenever he goes, like hopefully, you know, 20 years, whatever. Whenever he goes, like, it will be with a smile on his face. Oh my God. Like, do you ever, like, do you think about like Bruno's task?

like and what that will be like i don't okay that's good that's really healthy yeah i i don't i think he also does have immortal energy yeah no like nothing can take him down he's gonna be one of those dogs you know like those families that have like crusty white fluffy dogs that like literally can't see can't go to the bathroom can't hear but like give love he gives love brutal i actually i don't think about it because you know i got a lot to think about um course but yeah i guess that will be that would be sad, like really terrible, horrible thing. Oh my God, I'll be so upset. Brody.

Bruno's sort of like our last connection to Theo. I should bring him. It's funny because Magnolia was around too for the Theo days, but no. Like, not really. I should bring Bruno to work with me. Absolutely. Like, Jackie, who knows how much longer he has with the chicken bowl? Oh, my gosh.

I'll bring him tomorrow, you guys. It's kind of like when Theo was dying of cancer and I took him to see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. Yeah, I think I'm going to bring Bruno to work tomorrow. I think that's what we all need. I love that. So, yes. I'm looking forward to seeing Bruno.

I keep trying to say my big news. Oh, right, right, beyond Romeo's bad haircut. So in a couple of, which was genuinely like the biggest news. Earth shattering. We're coming down, obviously because I miss you. After the holidays, I need to catch up from like Hampton Summer, you know, get my life in order. And then we're going to come down because I never even tell you guys. But like it's kind of big news for me because you guys know I'm like a renter till I die.

But when we were in Florida the last time, like at the end. During my sabbatical. That was December 2025. right? Yeah, I purchased. I made a purchase. What did you purchase? Homeowner. Okay, like small place owner by the beach. I obviously like I couldn't really stay with you, even though now in your new house, like maybe I could have, but I felt like my time was running out and like coming to you guys for weeks at a time and like now we need multiple bedrooms. Like we're just taking a lot of space. We're sleeping in the studio. Like it's not, it's not

like you're literally recording in Ruby's room. Yeah. Not cool. And I just think, you're like if I'm going to buy a place like I should do it like at the beach water signs to be with my family I spend so much time there so we bought in December and like we've been doing work so I am going to come down and just sort of like be in your place check check the place out it's giving your place owner I love that I mean I've loved it I'm very excited this means so much to me to be closer to my sister and if it has felt like I've been extra cardboard in recent months like now I can finally share like I'm going through a lot like I am going through a lot um it's been I live a very sort of like laissez-faire life like I'm a renter you know what I mean and now I feel so tethered

I have like bills and like payments and it's been really crazy it's been a growing experience for us yeah yeah and you just I'm in a similar stage like having moved into a new house and everything that comes along with it and decorating whatever I'm just looking forward to like turning the spigot off, you know? Like I'll do what I have to do. You know, things have to be paid for. Everything we need a stove. Of course.

But I just need to get to a place where we can turn the spigot off. I've been feeling that way for a while. And I just feel like maybe like adulthood is like knowing that the spigot never turns off. You don't think so. I feel like I'm like a month away from turning the spigot off. Like parenthood, like things just happen. Like bills. Okay, maybe there's different spigot.

So I'm a month away from turning off the home spigot. Okay, and that's a big one. That will be a big one. And then I might have to turn off some other spigots, like Birken spigot, like because the home spigot drained the well. Of course, other spigots shall suffer. They drain the well. Yeah.

And then I wanted to tell you guys something else. Oh, what else could there be? I actually wrote like a list. Oh, I'm so glad I wrote down sometimes. Like I have so many things to share. And I forgot to tell you this. I yesterday, remember we were saying on the toast? Like, we were so excited for dancing with the stars.

we love Tyler Cameron, but we just get the vibe that he's like a horrendous dancer. So I get this voice memo. From Tyler Cameron. Yeah. And I believe Sharnah was like in the background because I heard like a girly voice.

Sharn. Oh, it disappeared. Oh, I was excited to have a little Tyler C cameo. He was like horrendous. Who you call in horrendous? And he was like, I can't wait to prove you wrong. He said if we want to come and be like his friends and family,

he would love to have us. And then people also did remind me that he had like a whole, I didn't watch his season of The Bachelor weirdly. That's right. People reminded me as well. He had held like a dance sequence. He was like the dancer. I think he actually has like amazing rhythm.

And I think he has potential to win because the younger generation doesn't know Tyler C yet. And when they do, he's like Garrett Graham. Like they're going to love him. Everyone who knows him loves him. And if he has the skills, which I'm now sensing like he has a lot of rhythm, I think that he, so my top two are Julia Stiles. and Tyler Cameron. You think Julia Stiles could win?

I do. She has like the whole millennial audience behind her. Dancing with the Stars is newly very Gen Z, very TikTok, but its OG fan base is like millennial like boomer. And they love Julia Stiles. Yes. Also Tyler C was on that show like dancing. What's that movie?

Oh my God, dirty dancing. Dirty dancing. I forgot about that. Yeah, he's like, low-key dancer. Yeah. Wait, that's cute. I forgot about that. No, I'm telling you, I think he has potential. Great. Well, I'm excited. I think that, like, premieres when?

Next week. Okay. Oh, I tried to, like, be with the people and watch the trending show last night. Ben was out of town. I didn't want to watch the... What's the trending show? I'll tell you. I didn't want to watch the alleged woman beat her on the U.S. Open, so, like, I tried to watch something else. Everyone's talking about the show Furious with his... on Hulu with Emmy Rossum. Now, I sat down with my... dinner and I watched. I ordered because Ben was gone. So he left me alone. He left me hungry.

I ordered. I don't know why I like embarrassed. Why you embarrassed? I don't know. I literally ordered sushi sake. Like there's nothing weird about that. Okay. I just like order it a lot. One time I got like an Uber Eat certification. Then I'm in like the top of 1% of orderers. But that's I used to get those like when I lived in the city for my spots and it's just because I'm loyal. It's not because I order so much. It's just because most people order from a different place all the time. I have three places I like. So yeah, I'm the number one customer. And I watched like the first five minutes of Furious.

It was so spooky. I didn't know what it was about. And it was like this guy was kidnapped and I turned it off immediately. Like I cannot watch like that by myself. Yeah, that's crazy. Like there's always a buzzy show that we don't watch. You know, like drama. I know, but I felt like I wanted to be with the people.

I don't watch fiction anymore. Well, the show is so Olivia Ashrie Coded. She like loves drama, kidnap. FBI. Like, I got to tell her she has to watch it. No, the only fiction I'll watch is Chad Powers. A thousand percent. But really, like, if you look at my history, I really only watch reality TV. I couldn't watch Chad Powers.

It's like a husband and wife show. I know. I had the same experience last night. Like, Zach, like, never came upstairs. And so I was like, I guess I'm not watching Chad Powers. Then I met him downstairs. He was watching sports. Oh, yeah, that's why.

There was some, like, for Cockta NFL game on in Australia. Yeah, the 49ers. I think. Yeah. And I saw some people were just talking about it. Who was it? I do respect the NFL's attempt to, like, go worldwide and compete with soccer. It feels like unfair to the players who have to travel to Australia just for like the NFL's image issue.

Yeah, that's really crazy and really far. It's so far. Yeah. I don't know who played. I think like the Rams or something like that. Oh, California head to head. Or a team of that nature. And that does mean like chili season, loungeware season,

football Sunday season is upon us. Like wanting to make a chili now. And now that I have my stove top, I can. But now I have to make a brisket for Roche. Next week I'll make a chili. We're doing short ribs. For Roche? Mm-hmm.

You're in laws are doing short ribs. Yeah. Well, they asked me what I wanted and I said short ribs. Oh, you're like sort of in your short rib era. It's so good. It's like an alternative to brisket, but it's like the same thing. It's the same flavors. It's like, but it's much soft.

meat, I find. It's very fatty. My father-in-law makes, like, the best recipe. And Ben's recipe that's on his Instagram is, like, an interpretation of that. It's so good. The meat is a little fatty. So am I. There's not as much, like, meat. I think I'm going to go, like, first cut brisket. Whatever the fuck that means. Yeah, I have no idea. No idea. Shoulder. Oh, so glad you brought up first cut brisket. Huge news yesterday. What? Like the Upper East. Jewish community was shaking. Guess who was spotted at the kosher grocer? Like so random.

A Jew? No. Actually, no. Oh, but it was a maybe. That's a clue. No, no, no, no, it's not. Haley Bieber? No, like, first of all, like, total opposite. Like, you're never going to guess, but, like, it was so random, but, like, everyone was talking about it. Big from Sex and the City. Oh, that's cool. He got pizza. And he was like, sitting outside, like eating lunch. I feel like maybe he didn't know it was a kosher grocer and just, like, wanted pizza. Yeah.

But he seemed to be enjoying it, according to my sources, boots on the ground. Oh, good. Yeah. It's great for the community. Yeah, that's exciting. It was. It was really exciting. We've got some things to discuss today.

We do. So I think we can get into it. Oh, do we? Yeah, like not Drek. I would say not Drek. And I just want to say, like, nothing was Drek about yesterday's episode. It's true. But just file under not Drek.

So what's this from? FYI, you did. What's that from? It's from bring it on like seven with Hayden Panetteer. So good. And one of like Solange's friends is like, FYI, you did. I love that.

I know that girl. What's her name? I love her. Actually, she posted a TikTok. That's why she is like back in my consciousness. She posted a TikTok when Hayden Panetier passed away. She like couldn't believe it. Oh.

Yeah. Such a good movie. And she's like a classic character from all of our shows. growing up. Yeah. If you haven't seen that particular brain on, you should watch it. Actually, like, I think that if you were to watch it as a fully formed, like, front of lobe developed adult, you would say, what the fuck is this movie? Like, first of all, it's not okay. Like, half the shit they say is insane. The crumping, like, is not okay. The whole movie is actually, like, deeply troublesome. But because it's, like, a core part of our childhood, we're like, oh, yeah,

that movie. But if you were to watch it now, you'd be like, what the fuck is this? No, I think it, I think it still hits. It doesn't. Like, it doesn't. If you ever, right, right? If you ever seen like clips out of context, you're like, wait, that movie was weird. Out of context. It's out of pocket. And Rihanna's in it. In context, it all adds up. Yes, it all comes out in the context. Okay, well, let's get into the fast five stories that yet it do. need to know. F-Y-I. You did. Today's episode is brought to you by SmartMouth.

They have nighttime products, morning products. If there's someone in your life whose breath stanks, like it doesn't have to be that way. And I think a lot of mouthwashes and like oral products mask the bad breath. They don't fix it and like get down to the root source. And smart mouth is just different.

You know, last sign at Majong, sorry, yesterday at Majong, everyone was talking about Quince. Because someone was like, have you guys heard of Quince? We're like, yeah, have you?

She's like, oh, no, I just figured out. She was, like, buying stuff for her daughter. So, quince is the key to building a great wardrobe. You know those pieces in your closet that you just find yourself reaching for over and over again. Somehow, you know, a sweater that works with everything, jeans that always fit right, a bag you carry everywhere. Well, those are the pieces that earn a permanent place in your wardrobe and that's exactly what Quince does so well. They make elevated everyday essentials by using premium materials like Mongolian cashmere, organic cotton, washable silk. The designs are timeless, thoughtfully crafted and made to be worn again and again. And the pricing is very fair. So why I love Quince is that they make like really high end, high

quality products, like the same as like designer brands, but they price 50 to 80% less than the similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories. They cut out the middleman and they pass the savings onto the customer. So you end up just paying for the quality, not like a crazy brand markup. They have premium stretch denim, leather bags are always getting into new categories. I've heard people love their suitcases. I like their home stuff.

Their baby stuff is amazing. If you're really particular about materials and like what your children wear, it's like very hard to find 100% cotton stuff these days. Like everything's made of plastic. Quince is a great option. They bring that great high end approach to everything that they make. So find the fall pieces.

Thank you, Tertie, for letting us know that Hia Health sponsored today's episode. It's literally my job. Our first story, in no particular order, I would say, are the stories, but this is an exciting, fun one.

SNL has set their season 52 hosts and musical guests, and Jalen Brunson, star of the New York Knicks, will be hosting the first episode of this season with music from, cat's eye. That's huge. First of all, like, I don't, like, tune in every week to S&L, but I will be sat for this. I didn't even think, I didn't realize, like, that they were coming back and it was the first one since they won the championship, but this is a, like, a genuine perfect casting. I also think, um, like, I don't really know, like, Jalen's personality. Like, I'm looking forward to, like, obviously he's an amazing basketball player and I feel like he really just stands, like, behind his talent. We don't really, he doesn't lead personality first. He leads, like, skill first.

So who is Jalen Brunson? Who is Jalen Brunson? I think he's probably, he's just like you. Like I feel like he's a regular guy. Yeah, and he's like a young dad and a husband and he's working hard and he loves basketball. He loves Gacaba. Do you think he's a big Cats Eye fan? No.

Yeah, I feel like they could have like paired up a better musical artist with Jailens. Someone like more New York. It could have been like such a New York night. Yeah. So here are the people they announced in this run. First, we have Jalen and Katlyn. They should have had Billy Joel. Yes.

Then they have. Like Harry Stiles. He's doing his New York residency at the garden. Well, we're going to get to Harry Styles. Oh, what do you do? You haven't seen this? I saw the short shorts. Is that what you're talking about?

I know, then you haven't seen what the story is. I'll make you look at a picture when we talk about the story because it's really crazy. Oh my God. I'm so excited. Yeah. So maybe not Harry Styles. Dakota Johnson is then hosting with hardcore rock band Turnstile. S, ha.

Okay, like, I don't know. And then Shane Gillis will host for the third time on October 10th with Rosalia as a music podcast. Don't you think it's so crazy that Shane Gillis, like, given his whole arc. Like, I do think that he's, like, he doesn't need SNL. And like, if I'm him, like, I'm holding a grudge, but he obviously doesn't. And it's also weird that, like, SNL has sort of like debased, that debase himself. But, like, they fired him and now he's the host, like, three times. I don't know I just think it's crazy.

They're desperate to have him on the show. And I'm sure now they would love to have him on the show, but he's so far surpassed going on SNL. No, no, as a cast member. As a cast member, yeah. So at least they can, like, admit when they're wrong. Yeah, it's impressive. Who's the musical artist with him?

Rosalia. Oh, right. Yeah, I feel like this lineup does genuinely nothing for me, except for Jalen Brunson. And then the other person they announced was Indy Navarotti. She's going to be the Halloween. episode with Gracie Abrams. Yeah, and do you never, I'm not sure if that's a correct Prince Nation, but like she's like

the it girl, Gen Z. From obsession? Yeah, I didn't, I didn't watch it, but like her and the girl from Sterling Point, I think her name is Ella Rubin, they're like the girls of the moment. Like they're, they're both so pretty. They're, there was girls. Yeah, there are girls. Stella Rubin, I'm going to her.

Now, when does the Jalen Brunson episode air? soon September 26 Got it Okay I was just watching a clip from Reese Witherspoon on Armchair expert And he was saying like I didn't realize

You were the first SNL host After 9-11 in 2001 Like what was that like? I didn't even think about like all the things You know you see like the Mets game Where Mike Piazza scored the home run after 9-11 And Bush throughout the like kind of a core American memories But you don't think about SNL

Which is like so New York And she said like she had such a pit and she like had a one year old she was like a new mom she obviously like was not going to say no um and it was like probably like the most nervous she's ever been in her whole career yeah that's and they had someone come i think they had like juliani on the episode like it was like this whole thing oh sure and if you were to ask me like who was the host of nine of the first SNL after 9-11 like i would never have guessed it was rees Smyth spitherspoon but she was like america sweetheart this like darling girl yeah um the 25th anniversary of 9-11 is tomorrow i've been

Tomorrow. Are you also just seeing so many videos and, like, stories? Every year. Every year. I feel like this year and the lead up, maybe because it's also the 25th anniversary, there's just like a lot of content. I think like documentaries. And like all the networks are doing like specials.

Yeah, but I don't know. On X and Instagram like just, I'm just getting like so many stories that I never heard before. I saw the drone show last night. Ben saw it in person. Like, why didn't they tell us that was happening? Like I would have went to go see it. You know what I mean?

Yeah. I didn't know that was happening. And I do feel like I'm consuming a lot of 9-11 content. and still like no one told me. Yeah, right. Same. Like I would have loved to have seen that. Yeah, tomorrow.

Ugh, so eerie. I, yeah, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Yeah. It's so heavy. So that's the S&L lineup. Like, I'm sure it's gonna all be bad, but it's exciting. The announcements are always exciting.

I'll say that. Yeah, although this was like, besides for Jalen Brunson, I feel like this really falls flat. I agree. And I don't know who's their musical booker, but like, and maybe I'm just out of touch because I don't know turnstile. It is a combination of like you being a little like you have your own sort of genre specific,

demographic specific, but I feel like they don't know who they are at S&L. Like they're trying to be like Gen Z but like Gen Z doesn't really watch SNL. And like they're always trying to cater to an audience that's like not there. And I don't even know who watches S&L. I don't think they know who watches SNL. Yeah. But like Trens out. And like Tim Dillon hosting SNL when?

Totally. I was watching another Tim Dillon. He's kind of empowered me. Like I don't think I say enough crazy events of things. Like I was I watching today. He was talking about it was cracking me. Where did you see it on Reels? I'm obviously on Dylan Talk.

Oh, so it's other people clipping his stuff. Yeah, and they send me like six minute clips and it's the perfect thing to watch while I'm getting ready. I like, listen, I don't even watch. Fuck, I was laughing so hard today. It was not Lindsay Clancy. He did do a hilarious segment on, And it's crazy to say it's even hilarious

on the woman who was like knife wielding in Times Square. You see that video and the police killed her. But like he's not reacting to like these tragedies. He's reacting to people's reactions because like Lindsay Clancy. Like the rhetoric has been so shocking. His commentary is really on the commentary, which makes it so much funnier. And he's just kind of empowered me.

He said something so offensive. I couldn't believe what I was here. I was laughing so hard. About the Times Square Knifer? No, no, no, no, no. What was I watching today? What's like recent drama that he's been talking about? U.S. Open?

No. I can't remember. It'll come back to me. But I realized like I am not radical enough in my commentary on the toast. I agree. Kick it up a notch. If you hear me saying like some crazy things just if you and are looking for someone to blame, it's Tim Dillon.

Well. I'll say something and be like, oh, was that like the wrong thing to say? And it's like, no, I need to be bringing more Tim Dillon energy. Well, our next story maybe you'll find something to say. So Harry Stiles has fans outraged over his insane New York City concert ticket imagery. Oh my God, I saw it. Yes. So a social media.

I saw the plane and the tower. Yeah. A social media user has shared an image of Harry Stiles ticket artwork for his Together tour that is going to be in New York this week. It's a residency. It's like 30 shows. I think it's like months long. Yes.

So the ticket in question is for the. Wednesday, September 9th, the 7th night of his tour stop. And on the front, it looks like a ticket stop. And on the back, there's like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building, like the skyline. It's like a cartoon drawing. And a car flying through the air. A car?

I thought it was a plane. Oh, is it a plane or a car? Why would there be a car in the sky? No, look. Pull it up. Pull it up. Yeah, yeah. Because I saw this.

It looks like there's no. It looks like a convertible. A plane is even crazier. But yeah, it also looks like a plane. Oh, it's a plane. It's a car plane. It's an ambiguous vehicle. Oh, page six said seemingly with styles in a vehicle.

Very good. It's a vehicle. Yeah, I saw this. I think obviously we're all like on hypersensitive this week. But I don't think you could ever be hypersensitive enough to 9-11 imagery. and it's crazy. This is just one of those things where it's like how many people

before this got printed. It's the skyline, but there's really only two towers. You know? Well, no, I don't agree with that because like one is, like, they're far away from each other and one's like much shorter than the other.

I just think like when you're putting planes in the sky near the New York skyline, it's Uber important to be like very sensitive, you know? Yeah. No, I think. And obviously this week, even more so. Would this have stopped traffic?

In January? I don't know. People might not have been on as high alert and wouldn't have been as top of mind. But yeah, after all the content I've seen this week, of course, this is the first thing that I would think of. But no, it's not like there's the statue of liberty here. Like there's only two towers. There's only two iconic towers, just saying. No, it's 1,000% bad.

Like, it's bad. I just think that this is yet another demerit for Mr. Stiles. No, well, no, I think this is just like another more proof that like Harry Styles is very much in his flop era. And I know people don't want to hear that, but he is. So another demerit. Sure. It's really crazy. I'm reading like the comments.

Because I think any human being, before you read that there's backlash, I saw it. And my first thought was like, oh my God, a plane. Like it's sort of obvious. Yeah. So the fact that like all the editors and printers and, animate like all the I feel like sometimes sometimes it's obvious like once it's out there to a person who's not involved but like sometimes when you are in it it's not obvious I do feel like that sometimes for people and I can give grace but this feels like very intentional okay I don't think

it's intentional I don't think he was trying to like a threat oh my god Tim Dillon very Tim Dillon of you I don't think it was a threat I don't think it was a threat I I don't. I don't think Harry would do that. Because I think Harry loves New York. I just think. Oh, and mind you, Harry has no idea that he's even giving out, like, commemorative tickets.

Oh, yeah, like, he doesn't work on the artwork at all. This is nothing to do with Harry's self. Harry team. Harry team. Harry artist. Yeah. Who is Harry's artist? Yes, so let's meet the designer behind this offensive artwork.

Yeah, let's do. that because it wasn't Harry. So someone drew this. Let's talk to them. See what they're on in their life. See what they're about. What would a therapist say? Yeah. I think that's where we should place blame. And I do think

when you're just like even though he's a huge star, sometimes like there's a lot of materials that just like go out. Jackie, he has no idea that these things even exist. No, but it's like how many people approved this? How many people do you actually think? Like two. Of course it leads back to Tate McCray.

I think a million people have putate McRae though. Like I think a number of people, I don't think a number of people saw this honestly. I think it was just like some bonus artwork. The artist made it, they sent it to the service, and then they sent it out. To Kinko's, yeah. Totally.

Really crazy. Do better. Literally. Do better. On the eve of the 25th anniversary, not cool. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Mm-hmm.

Which is shocking and it's meant to be so. Cindy Sweeney puts on a show as she strips down in cheeky Novig ad. So Sydney Sweeney is embracing sports and sports betting in a bold way. The actress stripped down for sports prediction market Novig. So Novig is a new prediction market app platform and it's strictly sports. It's just for betting on sports. And she is in their first national brand campaign. And it says no vig is just sports.

And in the spirit of that, she's not wearing any clothes. And she's like sitting on a basketball who puts her coochie out. There's literally 10 different ways that she's naked with sports covering her privanalia. And so, yes, it is just sports. Now, I have got to know how much she was paid for this. Oh, by the way, she is an investor in the company. She's a strategic partner and equity holder.

She has even more incentive to, because the thing is, this commercial makes no sense, like messaging-wise. Like, what does a naked Sydney sweetie have to do with predicting sports? But we are all talking about NoVig. Something I had never heard of prior to yesterday. Like, this is effective marketing in the sense that we're being introduced to a brand

and now I know the name of the brand and what they do. I will say, even though this is like so crazy. And at first when I saw it, I'm like, what's she getting naked for? but now like when we talk through the creative like I will never forget that novig is just sports no I'm telling you it is not brilliant she looks not socks I saw a comment and it's so true like she is literally Cassie from Euphoria like this is so something Cassie would do and I do you know you know what's funny is that

and I think people are going to think this is like a crazy statement I feel that like how she thinks about like her body and her image and like people sexualizing her is like really what emily ratikowski thought she was doing right like being this like intellectual with her titties out like sydney sweetie is laughing her ass to the bank like she's in on the joke and like she's not just being sexualized for the sake of being sexualized like she's this is not even a commercial for a brand that she's getting paid she's an investor and like i think that she's letting people sort of like comment and sexualize her and they think that she doesn't know but she does yeah whereas like Emily Radikowski was like, I'm intellectual, stop looking at my tits.

Here's my nipple. Like, okay, we're confused. For free. Yeah, like, we're confused. So actually, I think in its own way, this is a very, very feminist twist. You find this to be empowering? No. But I get it.

Like, I feel like she thinks, like, I feel like everyone thinks that she doesn't get it, but she does. Like, oh, for sure. She does. I mean, I feel like every time I'm like, okay, she's going to be serious. Like, we're buttoned up now and she did that. role of the boxer and she's like going to, right, right, of course. She's trying to be, you know, taken serious. No, she's going to do all of the things.

Yes. And I respect her clear financial motivations in life. I think she, like, grew up poor. I think she has a lot of spigots. No, I think she, like, wants multiple homes. Lives in expensive life. Yeah, I think that she, like, likes to live, have fun and, like, spend money and live free, take a jet.

Yeah. It helps that she's dating a billionaire. Of course. And I think a lot of times when you do date a billionaire, you do have to sacrifice on their looks and their age. There's not like so many like hot. I mean, look at Mark Zuckerberg. Have you ever seen somebody uglier in your whole life?

Like there are so few. Like I can't bring my segment into this. Well, I just think it's an example. Like show me like an actually conventionally handsome billionaire. Yeah. And it's like Scooter Braun stands alone. Whatever you think of him. Like you cannot tonight.

He's like a good looking guy. Yeah. Fit. Young. So she's getting the best of both, you know? Yeah. Also, the pictures are amazing. Like, seriously, how can he really pose in that many different ways without showing privates?

And the use of different athletic equipment is really crafty, I would say. Oh, yeah. I'm just looking at Bayzo. I'm looking at billionaires. Like, sorry, Bezos. I would need like a thousand drinks. Larry Page. I mean, maybe he.

at one point, but like Warren Buffett. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know a lot of these people, like what they look like. I'm just looking at the, oh, Bill Gates, yuck. Like, seriously yuck. And also sometimes, like, to be a billionaire, you have to be much older because it's, you know, compounds over time. Of course.

I feel like Ken Griffin is, like, not that bad looking. I have to look up a picture. What do you think about Elon? No. Like, oh, he's not on the list. That's weird. He's a trillionaire, that's why. Oh, sorry, he's not on the list.

He's just number one. He's not on list because he's a trillionaire, not a billionaire. Yeah, I think that, like, of course, with all due respect, like, I think he's ugly. Like, just, and I'm only talking about, like, looks, you know? I'm going to pull up a photo of him and, like, just try and evaluate based on looks. Yeah, I'm just looking at, like, these. Oh, maybe, like, in his heyday, like, Mike Bloomberg could have gotten it, but today, no. He could get it.

That's what I'm saying. For girls like Sydney Sweeney, like, Scooter Braun is a one in a million type of guy. Yeah, yeah. But it's not going to stop her from working hard, Claudia. No, of course. Do you think she should work less hard? I mean, if it were me. But that's why she's where I'm at and like I'm a slob, you know?

It's true. It's true. Okay. You agreed a little too quickly. I was agreeing with the first half. If you guys like see our, I started saying it's true before you said slob. When you said that's why she's where she's at. It's true.

It's true. Okay, fine. Nothing to do with you. That was before you brought yourself into it. But you should have known I was going to. Historically, that's what I always do. Historically, it's true. This was a crazy advertisement.

I will say loved her with like the Kardashian beachy waves, like with her long extensions. I never see her looking like that. Yeah, no, she looks really beautiful. And she also like stepped her pussy up style-wise. I feel like for so long she was like the hottest girl in the world. And she like showed up to all these red car. It's like actually looking like the mother of the bride.

so bad. And I feel like maybe it's scooter bra on like a year ago. She started like dressing well. Yeah. She dresses really well now that you forget that there was a period where it was just like. So bad. Like she was either the Pop Mitzvah girl or the mother of the bride. And you actually have to go out of your way to dress someone so young and like perfect

and make them look bad. It's harder to make them look bad than it is to make them look good. Right. Right. Well, I now know that Novick is just sports. Yeah. Do we need another one of these platforms? I don't know. Seared into my mind. Consider it seared. Consider it seared. Job well done. Marketing effective.

Thank you, T-U-R-D. You're welcome. Our fourth story, some tech news, major, major tech news. Apple is introducing the iPhone duo. It's first foldable smartphone. Okay. So it's that time of year, I guess, yeah, it's September, where they're like doing their big presentation,

all the new products, all the new features, and they're coming out with a flip bone. So the new iPhone duo is a foldable smartphone. It has an internal dual display panel that provides the largest most immersive screen size ever at 7.6 inches diagonally. So I heard that when you close it, it's about the size of a passport. And then when you open it, it's giving more like iPad. Yeah. So that's the thing.

It's like I am intrigued, even though I want to hate it. Like I'm open to it. Except that when you open it, it's like that's not a phone. It looks like the iPad mini. and I just feel like I already have such a toxic relationship with my phone. If it's even bigger and more immersive, like I'm scared. Yeah, I'm scared too. I'm trying to spend like less time on my phone.

I mean, this is actually good for like content and content creators because like the way people consume there. Now you're going to want to watch more things on your phone. It's going to be like a more premium viewing experience. So that sort of interesting. Sounds like a beautiful place to watch a new episode of The Toast. Right. Oh, it's going to be great for video podcasts with Pargy Queens and amazing.

What a thousand percent. and amazing frames. It'll also be good, I think, for like TV and movies because people will really be able to watch that stuff on their phones now. You wouldn't watch like a movie on your phone, but like you would on your iPad. Yeah. Also like the closed version of the phone, like not the flipped open part, it's giving like Palm Pilot. Like you need to have like your whole.

It's like wide. Yeah. Like a passport they said. And what does this mean for phone cases? Such a good question. An Octobodies. I want to say, I happened, I didn't know consciously that the event was happening and that they were announcing a new iPhone, but I should have known because my phone has been on the fritz

these last couple of days. And you know whenever they announce a new iPhone, like the one that came before starts to like break down so they make you get it. And I do want to say like for research purposes, I will be getting this phone. I think I'm going to get it because I missed the last update. Like I think I have a 15. No. Or 16. You have a 17. You might have a six. I have a 17. I think I have 15 because I'm always ordering phone cases and it's 15. You know what makes me feel sick, like seriously sick? Like I remember when they launched the iPhone period. Like it didn't even have a number like it was just iPhone. This is 15 Pro Max. Oh my god. Yeah and it's like the battery. And you consider yourself a content creator? The battery like doesn't last. I'm always like, I'm always like,

I would have a charger. Um, so I am ready for a new phone. So I think I have to get this phone. That's the next one. I'm just afraid because sometimes Apple launches stuff and like if you can get it, you're the coolest person alive. Sometimes Apple launches stuff and you get it like I remember the goggles. What were those called? Like the virtual reality like Apple. Do you know what I'm talking about? don't know the Apple ones, no. Remember when Apple came out with like, what the fuck is it called? I only know Google Glass.

No, no, no, no, sorry. It's not a pair of glasses. It's not a pair of glasses. The goggles. The goggles. Vision Pro, I think that was what it was called. Like, and everyone was talking about it. And I feel that, like, if you bought one, it was like a mark on you that you are a loser.

You know what I mean? And I'm afraid that like this flip phone, I don't know if you buy it. It makes you cool. makes you a loser because sometimes you just look like a sheep who will spend $2,000 on anything. It just depends. Like, is this the next frontier? And then all phones will eventually be D-O's.

And I think also like Samsung has been doing this, you know? Yes, there is, I think, a Google phone that flips or a Motorola. Of course, Apple is never the first to do something. But for some reason, people only care when Apple does it. Yeah. So it's starting at almost $2,000. And that's like with no space. You know, if you want a phone that can hold.

Ranging up to $30,200 for a model with two terabytes. Ugh, now, like, do we wait or do we just do it, you know? I think I'm going to get it. And also, it's like, is there an actual, like, technological purpose to having a flip phone or are you doing it because, like, we all sort of, like, miss having flip phones and, like, the vibe. Nistalgic. And, like, the vibe of, like, clicking down, like. I saw, like, a lot of tech commentators commenting on the fact that when you open up the new iPhone

flip phone, there's a crease. where you, it's like not a completely smooth. I would expect there to be. You're folding the screen. I would expect there not to be actually. Very. For these prices. Yeah, I guess,

I guess this is what's next for technology. But it does. What else did they announce? It does feel like a big leap, a big technological leap, though, of course. Sometimes they announce, other brands have done it. Many times.

Sometimes they announce like other features coming to the phones or like you can get your AirPods to go like up your ass. A new AI features for new iPhones. AI, Siri is more expressive. Oh God. Just what we need. I'm crying. I'm sure there's other stuff, but this article's focused on the duo. On just the phone. Yeah, no, that was the big news of the day.

They should have us, like, be the spokespeople because we're, like, the duo. Oh, I love that. And you know what? I totally forgot, like, you know, you've made it. I got Apple PR last time they did their announce. I got, like, the new computer. The fuck. what was it called the Neo that everyone was talking about? It's like pink. It's so cute.

I love it. And they were like, do you want it? I was like, yeah, so can I get the phone too? I would love to not pay for it. I didn't know that was an option. Yeah, I got Apple PR. I feel like it's like an elite PR list to be on. That's seriously cool.

Yeah. Sometimes I forget about like cool things that I do or have done, you know? Yeah, like what? Massinger. No, I was going to say a similar vein before he obviously became like a crazy Nazi. No. No. closed on Sunday.

Oh, Kanye, yeah. No, but what about Steve? Like, whenever we talk about, like, cool things that you've done that we forget, like we say Kanye and now we say Max Singer. Steve Harvey. Twice. If you read my book, like, you guys don't even know,

like, the mentor that Steve Harvey was to me and, like, the kind of sort of tumultuous relationship we had after my first appearance on the show. It's not that tumultuous, but you should read my book. But you did it twice the show? Yeah. Oh, I forgot about the second time. Like, I was so, like, they were obsessing.

They were obsessed. I had like a real, me and Steve had a real connection. He, like, couldn't get over me. I'm being dead serious. He told me I was a star and I was really going places. I remember that. He was right. You went places.

A thousand percent. Look at me. I had my own podcast, okay? Yeah, and they invited me back like a year or two later. And we just like reconnected and he was asking me like about social media. Like he's like literally when I consider my mentors, sorry, I have to add Hillary Hoffman and Steve Harvey. Yeah. Or like people who were like integral to.

In my growth. In your journey. Major stops along the way on your journey. The shoulders. which I stand. Yeah. Stephen Harvey. Let's make a graphic.

It's like a picture of me standing on Steve Harvey shoulders. Steve Harvey standing on like Gwyneth Paltrow shoulders, all my mentors and Hillary Hoffman. And Bergsonader. Of course. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Oh my God. I know.

I think it will take some time with it though because CMA Award nominations are out. Oh. I didn't even know that. So let's go through it, shall we? We have Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, and Casey Musgraves leading the nominations. Wow, go Casey Musgraves because I feel like her album really came and went. But I think that it's obviously Ella's year. So entertainer of the year, we're going to start from the Biggs.

Here are the nominees. Luke Holmes, Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, Chris Stapleton, and Laney Wilson. They always just like make shit up. So I'm going to say who I predicted. and my predictions are based on, like, statistics and facts, and theirs are just based on vibes. It does feel like Ella Langley's year, even though it's so crazy that you can be nominated for,

she was on, like, the biggest tour of the year, this year opening for Morgan Wallen. And it's like Morgan Wallen's not even nominated for entertainer of the year. Well, they don't nominate him for anything. No, they've started to, like, reincorporate him back. They don't let him win, but they throw him in there every now and then. Can you read me the nominees again? I will, but I don't think Morgan Wallen isn't even nominated for male vocalist.

He is not nominated for anything. Was his album this year? Yeah. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. So you can't even think about that. Entertainer was Luke Holmes, Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, Chris Stapleton, and Lany Wilson. Even though Ella Langley was the face of country music this year, like the way that this category works, like, I don't think she'll win.

No, I think it's just about like who toured the most. It's going to be Chris Stapleton or Wainey Lillson per usual. Wainey Lillson. Yeah, I wouldn't be mad if it was Chris Stapleton and I would be mad if it was Lainty Wilson. Like I don't make me for a third year in a row give my speech about how I actually love Lainey Wilson, but she's not deserving of any of her accolades. Like seriously, don't make me do it. I wouldn't be mad if it's Cody Johnson. And of course, I would be thrilled if it's Luke Holmes.

I had to turn that song off yesterday. Like I was listening to music while I got ready and I was like doing my makeup. Take that phone call from your mom. Like when the bridge comes on, like seriously, I have to go die. Like I can't, I can't hear it. Yeah. Like it's Luke's time. You know, I've sort of.

They do love to snub him. They love to snub him. And that's why I didn't even mention him when I was talking about, like, how I'll react when people win because, like, I'm just used to the fact that he's not going to win. I don't know why. But obviously, it's like, why would he win? He just, like, took country music to Australia and the UK and broke records over there and is introducing the genre to an entirely new group of people.

But why would that make him entertain of the year when Lady Wilson was on Yellowstone? Like, please. He's my number one for this. If I were in the voting block. Yeah. Next, we have single of the year. We have B. her. It's choosing Texas. Be her by Ella Langley. Choose in Texas by Ella Langley. I knew it. I knew you by Taylor Swift.

Oh. Somewhere over Laredo by Lainey Wilson and the fall. Oh, Cody Johnson. Well, you know who it's for me. It's the fault for me. I also can't listen to the painter because obviously that song's about his wife, but it's actually about Ruby. Oh, it's about me actually. Oh, you are the painter? I'm the painter. Oh no, Ruby's a painter. I don't remember life before he came into the picture. Show me beauty I was missing with him. That's sweet, but I feel like... Show me colors I ain't never seen. I literally sang it last night when I was putting him down. I feel like it's Cody giving me my flowers

for being like the painter of our life in my family. Oh my God, I'm cracking up. That's hilarious. And like you are the painter, but the fact that you're like nominating yourself makes it like less sweet. Zach should be like Jack's, you're the painter. Of course, of course.

But like he doesn't know. of the song and when I heard it, I was just like, and he's singing about his wife and it just like made me feel seen as a wife, you know? That's beautiful. Oh, I don't really. Like if only someone sang it to Lindsay Clancy, like maybe things would have turned out different. That's such a good point. There are a couple of songs if I were curating a playlist for Lindsay Clancy just in an effort

to have perhaps changed her mind. And like, and boost morale around the house, yeah. Did she try putting on music? It's not funny. It's not funny. Whatever choosing Texas is nominated for should and maybe won't because they just like make shit up over there. Like they refuse to give it to Shibuzi with Bar Song.

But like that was the song of the year, not even just in country in the world. It was the song of the year. I agree. But Slay to be nominated in the same category twice. Seriously. Album of the year ain't in it for my health by Zach Top. Dandelion. by Ella Langley, Middle of Nowhere by Casey Musgraves,

Parker McCollum, Parker McCollum, and The Way I Am by Luke Holmes. Honestly, I would be good with any of these. Oh, really? I feel it's not a really competitive category, and it's like, to me, only two of these nominations even deserve to be nominated, and that's Luke and Ella. And I'll be happy if either of them would. No, remember we listened to Parker McCollum's album

because we had heard good things and it was nice. I remember I heard it like once and never listened to it again. Middle of nowhere. I didn't know her album was called that. You know, I love that. I know. That's your favorite Luke Holmes song, Middle of somewhere. What? It's middle of somewhere. It's middle of somewhere. Because like the middle of nowhere to

you is the middle of somewhere to me. Somewhere to me. Oh, it's so beautiful. It's so beautiful. Yeah. Song of the year. We have Beher, Ella Langley. Beautiful things. Megan Maroney. Choose in Texas. Ella Langley. And Miranda Lambert is on that. Dry Spell, Casey Musgraves and Gary, Stephen Wilson, Jr. Why does it feel like this like wasn't a big year for country music? I like there are none of these songs are even remotely eligible except for and yes Miranda Lambert wrote Choosing Texas with El Langley she's getting rich off that song I think one because of the erasure of Morgan Wallen yeah and he had a 30 song album and like so many of the number one hits of country music this year were Morgan Wallen and so when you take him out I'm a little crazy but the world's insane when you take him out

then it's like well where are the hits Morgan Wall is true it's true um but also choose in Texas is the song of the year. It's Ella's year. Like every award she's nominated for, she is the clear winner. Is she going to go home with 11 awards or zero? We'll find out.

Female vocal list of the year. Miranda Lambert. Ella Langley, Megan Maroni, Casey Musgraves, Laney Wilson. I really like the friendship between Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley.

It's like me and Steve Harvey, like, Midswery. Yeah, Miranda's like sort of in her friendship era. A thousand percent she made up with Casey Musgraves. They did a collab together.

And I think she's really taken on this like mentorship level, like role with Ella Langley, who's kind of the Miranda Lambert of her generation. But I feel like she's also friendly towards Laney Wilson, you know, like that hasn't shut her out. She's just sort of like in her girl's girl era. And I never saw that for Miranda when we were like reporting on all of her like divorce drama with the cop and the married guy. I love that she settled into this like girl boss era. Mentor.

I follow her on social media. It's one of my, she's one of my favorite followers. She like really walks the walk of the country lifestyle and talks the talk. I think a lot of, I think this is like a thing in country music. Like people who like sing about riding horses and like live in a high rise condo. Yeah. No, she like lives in the middle of somewhere. Male vocalist of the year.

Luke Holmes, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Zach Top, Stephen Wilson, Jr. Any of the first three I'm cool with. For me, it's Luke or Cody. You know, like I like sort of don't fuck with Chris Stapleton. That's so crazy to me. And like no hate, no shade, no nothing. It's just like, I don't know why. We haven't clicked.

And I think you need to work on the click. I know. Because one day I'll watch this back and be like, that's so crazy. And like the thing is, I know that he's amazing. Everybody loves him. Right. I think a lot of times, like he has transcended genres. Like everyone in the industry respects the fuck out of him.

And it's so rare that there's someone like that who's actually deserving of all that. And he is like his voice is insane. He does everything with his wife. And I actually heard, I only read this recently, that you know, he sings on stage every song with his wife right next to him and they just like stare at each other and he's like gets really nervous on stage that's why she like is a part of it because like it helps with his nerves so cute no everything about him is amazing I have no faults except I don't know why like Spotify like never pushed him on to me oh really I find that he's like an industry plant I'm always

I know all of his music meanwhile I'd never sought it out like I have the opposite experience I never sawed it out and it never found me joy of my life like there are so many songs I know joy of my life I know the joy of my life I know the joy of my love Vocal group of the year, Lady A, Little Big Town, Midland, Old Dominion, Red Clay Strays. Oh, I don't know, Midland was, like, still out there doing their thing. You know, they had, like, a hot couple of years. Where's Rascal Flats?

They're busy putting the industry on their back. Literally, and they've released duets. Like, they're still working. Like, it's disgusting. No wonder why they want to quit. The CMA is so fucking problematic. They're disgusting. Every time we recap the nominations or the actual awards,

like they literally never cease to get it wrong. It's so true. Okay. Those are like the big cat. And their most egregious act was the Shibuzzi erasure of 2003. Like the way they went out of their way to give him no awards. Yeah. The other category would be new artist of the year.

Oh. Averyana, Carter Faith, Emily Ann Roberts, Tucker Wetmore, Stephen Wilson, Jr. Well, obviously we'll go to Stephen Wilson Jr. Considering he's nominated in all the big categories. But I just want to say, shout out to Emily Ann Roberts. I love. We ain't got a whole love, but we got a lot of little. And a little suits me just bad.

we go together like a bow and a fiddle and we live a little simple life. She's like hardcore country and she, I discovered her on TikTok and she's like crushing it. She like opens, oh she opened for Cody Johnson. She's like the sweet little darling like a farmer girl who's like, you know,

mowing the lawn in the morning or whatever and like go to the opera at night and like she's so glam. I love her. That's beautiful. Yeah. So can't wait to see all my favorite artists lose. And when will that be streaming on ABC?

When will that be happening on Wednesday, November 18th? Oh, I have so much life to live. Like, I'm going to have a birthday. Oh my God. Your birthday's coming up. I know. I've been like giving it a little thought. Like, what do I want to do?

34. 34? 34 with three kids. Like nothing to be ashamed of. That is a good life, my friend. Thank you very much. I would love to be there one day. Like, for real, I got to get to work.

Thank you very much. Yeah. I wonder, I don't know, I've got some iron's in the fire. I have to think about like, what do I like? you know. Do I need to plan to be down there for your B-Day? Like, are we doing stuff? You don't have to be.

But like, I should do a little something. Like, and maybe something. I did a party with your new house in my new rug. And like I think the spigot will be off by then, which means like the house is done like decorating and everything. So like. So now we have to open the other spigot for like events and hosting. It's so true. Oh, we should do haba-a-oh.

That's like something we do for my birthday. You literally hate habachi. It could be like a cute house. house warming, like, birthday, dinner. I don't know enough cheese and crackers for eight people. I'll get the cake. Just leave the cake to me. Okay.

Yeah, just something to think about. But anyways, I'm not even thinking about it, but that's just to say, like, how far away the CMAs are. Yeah, we have so much life to live. We have, like, brands. We have secret projects to lodge, honestly. Oh, my gosh. We have a lot of work to do between now and then. Yeah.

Yeah. I know Jackie doesn't let me, like, tease our secret projects because it is so annoying. But I will say this before she cuts me off. Like, you guys have no idea what's coming. two of like the most sickening drops you'll ever see in your life. And it's not what you think. It's not what you think. It's not going to, I was being vague because I didn't want to yell at me.

So you were incorrect. Two of the most sickening launches. Lunch. Lunch. That's beautiful. That's a good word. Speaking of launch. What are you going to have for lunch?

Speaking of lunch, you mean I'm actually grabbing lunch with a couple friends. It's insane that you would say that like directly to my face. You asked because I would have never said it if you didn't ask. I was more so talking about food. I didn't need to know the company. Oh, we're going to go to our favorite restaurant. Like it gets worse and worse. What do you think you're going to eat?

Like a salad or like a wrap? Not a wrap. Maybe like a bowl. I'll make it worse. A warm bowl. A warm bowl. Wow. She's having a warm bowl.

You guys, no Turtys warm bowls. And to be clear, that is not one of the secret projects we're launching a chain of warm bowl facilities. And we're not launching strand berries either. No, no.

Unfortunately, like our quick serve restaurant era is not, is still loading. But it will happen turties warm bowls featuring strandberries bread. Yeah, they'll be like connecting sort of like Baskin Robbins and yeah Dunkin' Donuts it'll be attorneys warm bowls and as strand berries but you could pay like at one register yeah but two separate

menus yeah for two separate eaters there is one remain maybe two remaining Baskin Robin X Dunkin Donuts in New York City I have to go you do I don't need Baskin Robbins like ever and I love ice cream and I'm always talking about how like the options for ice cream in New York City are and I just want say, and this is no disrespect, but like, the fact that, like, there are no frozen yogurt places anymore, like 16 handles gone, red mango gone, off the wall gone, tasty delight, don't even ask. Like, the last one on the Upper East Side just closed. But, like, everybody's opening these, like, all, like, Greek yogurt or, like, plant-based, stop. Like, seriously, stop. This is serious. This is my life, you guys. Like, stop. Stop. And it's not the same. And, like, it's not

funny. We actually have some good places here for Froyo. But I don't take advantage enough. No, you don't. You know. Only when you're here. We did a whole vlog of the frozen yogurt option near Jackie. Yeah, if you're looking for it, it's on Patreon. It's hysterical.

We drove in the car that sings. Oh, the lyric cue. Claudia and Ben rented this car from GMC. Cadillac. Cadillac. It's called the Lyricue. It was light. It was an electric vehicle.

Very gorgeous. And I think, like, it played music as it drove. No. It hummed. and now I can literally, I'm triggered. Whenever I see a Cadillac lyric, I know it's coming because I'm like, there's a lyric behind me.

And I hear it. It's like, hum, it drives with like a soundtrack. I really enjoyed the vehicle. It was very spacious. And we got for a little bit. That's our show. Thank you guys so much. We'll see you to the show.

We'll live in the pastime. You should be a lot of time. We'll be a sounding weekly town's rare. We will see you tomorrow and we love you dearly. Goodbye.
