Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. It's a beautiful day here in NYC for Day 2 of Phase 2. Hey, Claude. HYD. Hey, Jax. We are both slicking our hair backs because mine's dirty. I don't know if yours is, but literally, I had the craziest dream last night that I woke up literally like I had just went to SoulCycle like dripping sweat like down my neck it was the craziest dream that like we were we were like on the run and we needed a place to stay and we ended up staying at Jeffrey Epstein's house and then we like owed him a favor and like we were just like running from Jeffrey Epstein like for months it was like me you Ben and Zach and I was freaking out I literally for the first time in my life out of my sleep shot up and I was like oh and I woke Ben up. It was so scary. And that's why my hair is dirty and slicked back with a bun and some clips because my hair is literally sopping

wet. Wow. I wash my hair on Sunday nights, so it should be clean. But I woke up today and it just hurt. It feels like I'm on day six. So it looks like I'm on day six. I had a slicked back bun. I just couldn't be bothered today to deal with my hair. I'm just, I just can't. I shant and I went. Yeah. Um, I would let you share an experience that I think you and many people will find interesting. Okay. So yesterday was phase one, phase day one of phase two in New York, which means Alfresco dining is open. And yesterday also happened to be my father-in-law's birthday. So we're like, great. We will go out out to dinner outside and i won't say the restaurant because honestly it's not the restaurant's fault but like we sat at dinner and i there were cockroaches crawling

literally i couldn't stand i mean i couldn't sit i had to keep getting up and it was just on the building on the floor because you can't eat inside. So a lot of restaurants have gotten creative and made more tables outside. Like some of them even took parts of the street so that all the tables are six feet apart. And I don't want to bash the restaurant because they did a good job. It's not their fucking fault. Like it's just New York. But it was one of the most disgusting experiences like of my entire life. And I don't

even want to alfresco dine anymore. Like I've got to move. Oh my God. I am shook. Like I was, I didn't alfresco dine yesterday. I was like, I'm going to save it. You know, I don't need it right now. Like I'm going to go when I need to go, maybe like make a reservation, go with my friends, like make it a big to do. I am disgusted. That is disgusting. That's actually the only thing on earth that could spoil my appetite is a roach in the vicinity. And so I guess I just won't be going to restaurants anymore. That's vile. There are certain parts of town that I think are more prone to cockroaches. And I would have been more understanding, but like this particular part of town is one of the cleaner, maybe the cleanest part of town. And I was just like, so disgusted,

like so freaked out, so disappointed. And I just feel like, I don't know, part of me thought we were going to come back and after like nobody being outside, like no one leaving trash, no pollution. Like I felt like everything was going to be like a little bit cleaner. Like the earth needed us to take a break, you know, but actually I'd never seen so many cockroaches in my life. It was so disgusting. And it's so weird that that's just like coming out of my mouth, like a normal thing. And people who like live in Arizona are like, what the fuck, you know, but it's just a part of living here. And it's like, that was like the nail in the coffin for me with New York. I think I'm fucking done. I mean, like I'm done. I've been telling you I'm done. Like I am going to start making plans like for myself personally to, you know, have ulterior

options. So I just want everyone to know that like I'm making moves. And I just, I can't wait for anyone else anymore. I have to do it for myself because if not now, when? So thank you for sharing that story with me so that I do not need to experience it on my own because I was probably going to go to the restaurant that you went to last night because it's like the nicest restaurant with alfresco dining. And I don't want to say the restaurant because I can't stress enough how

it's not their fault. It's a fabulous restaurant. If I ate anywhere else, I would have had the same exact experience. No. And this is one of the nicer restaurants in the city. Like we would eat there all the time before quarantine. I never saw a cockroach. So it's not their fault. It was just insanity. Like I've never felt like I was in Jurassic Park more. Like it was just like, it was truly an out of body experience. So I wonder, I'm curious to, if any of our New York toasters had alfresco dining and had a better experience than me. Um, let me know. Yeah. Wow. Sickening. Thanks for the heads up. Um, but other than that, just another day here, I did a virtual live method class yesterday and I am so sore. I hadn't worked out in a while and I just, I can barely

stand or sit. So luckily I don't have to do either of those things on this show. We also yesterday recorded a fabulous Patreon episode, which was a suggestion from someone. It is up. If you want to, if you are a Patreon member, you can listen to it now. And if you're not a Patreon member, you can pay $8 a month to have access. I think now it's like over 200 episodes from the past. So we do videos.

We do podcast episodes. And this one that we just did was a podcast episode. And it was fabulous. Yeah, it was fabulous. And the one before it didn't really get that much PR on our end. But it's one of the better vlogs we've ever made where Claudia Margot came over to my apartment. We got drunk and made a pizza.

And it's fucking hilarious and just steamy and fun. And if you're looking for great vlog, head over there. It's like more of a short film because it's 30 minutes. I don't know if a vlog is 30 minutes. No, a vlog would be like a degrading label for the piece of art we put together. I agree. So it's a short film. Head on over to patreon.com slash morning toast for other short films as well. And the episode that we recorded yesterday, which is all about our favorite things right now. Like from every category on Earth. Like just what is getting us through.

And speaking of art, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we are one week out from the release of my debut comedy special. You can pre-order it on iTunes if you type disgraced queen into iTunes. Or you can just tap the link in my bio on girl with no job on Instagram. Um, I would really appreciate the support. I cannot wait for it to come out. I feel like I'm just, you know, on loop, like talking about it, but once it comes out and we get to watch it together, everyone is just going to know what we're talking about all the time. And I'm really excited. So please pre-order it. Um, once it's out, it'll be available on a couple other streaming platforms. But if you want to support now or you want to just get yourself a receipt,

you could pre-order it on iTunes at the link in my bio on Girl With No Job. Great. Well, I think without further ado, it's time. I'm not going to lie. I have a little bit of a migraine today. I took one of my magic pills right before the show. So hopefully it dissolves over the course of the show. But right now I'm in pain, so let's get to it. Without further ado, here are the fast-ass stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And I don't feel RGH today because I'm excited about today's sponsor because as we promised a few weeks ago, we are going to start highlighting Black-owned businesses here on the Morning Toast and donating our ad space to them.

So today's episode is brought to you by Local Human. Founded by Isaac Rochelle, a defensive end for the LA Chargers, is an apparel company focused on impacting local communities. They started it at the beginning of quarantine and since then have donated over $13,000 to various organizations. Local Human strives to serve and support local communities by aligning with and financially supporting organizations that empower our

communities' local humans. They are a one-for-one company, meaning they will be donating a shirt for every shirt bought. Specifically, they'll be donating these brand new shirts to foster centers around the country, but they go a step further by donating ten dollars per shirt to the organization of the month. Each month, a local human will release a t-shirt and partner with a nonprofit organization, philanthropic initiative, or get creative and give back. This month, local human has partnered with three organizations,

Campaign Zero, which focuses on changing legislation in order to reduce police violence, the United Negro College Fund, which envisions a nation where all Americans have equal access to a college education, and the National Fair Housing Alliance, which envisions a nation where all Americans have equal access to a college education, and the National Fair Housing Alliance, which works to eliminate housing discrimination to ensure equal housing opportunities for all people through education, outreach, and public policy initiatives. 100% of the proceeds for this t-shirt will be donated equally to these three organizations. To find out more about Local Human, shop their More Than a Tee campaign, and learn about the organization it's currently working with, go to localhuman.co.

Every time you buy a shirt, you give a shirt, and you also donate money to three worthy causes, which are the three that I just mentioned for this month. And they change every month, which is fabulous. So again, that link is localhuman.co, localhuman.co, where you can shop their More Than a Tee campaign and learn more about the organizations they are currently working with. Thank you. Local human for partnering with us. Love it. Okay. First story. NASCAR drivers are standing with Bubba Wallace after a noose was found in his stall. After a noose was found in Bubba Wallace's garage stall, fellow racers showed their solidarity by walking his car down the Talladega super speedway have you seen this video of the drivers and the car it is just so beautiful it is but like this is where i get torn up inside it's like why did some like i'm glad that this video like happened and everyone

supported bubba like why did bubba have to experience like opening up his locker and finding a noose when he's just like trying, trying to fucking do his job, you know? No, I know. But you know what? It's like whoever put that noose there, like, fucking disgusting, heinous crime. And they probably thought, like, we're going to cause something within NASCAR. And instead, like, the entire NASCAR community rallied around Bubba. And, like, it's never been more clear where they stand how they feel

and that people who might do something like that are not included in this community and I just feel like these stories like very unfortunately like you hear stories like this a lot like a you know a racist um graffiti like and I feel like we never find out who did it but like with this one like I want to know I need Nershka Hargitay on the case like we need to find who did it but like with this one like i want to know i need to know on the case like we need to find out like it's so important that like there's this like level of anonymity when it comes to being racist where it's like you get a like nobody ends up finding out like who fucking you know through whatever at someone's house like no no we need to full circle we need to find out who did it and i literally want their name plastered everywhere like they

and their family should be embarrassed. Yes. Well, I saw my newsletter this morning that the Justice Department is getting involved in the investigation to find out what happened. So I really hope that we get some answers. I mean, his garage stall should have been, like, it's pretty premium.

So maybe there's cameras and hopefully we'll get an answer and there will be responsibility and accountability because this is so fucked up but i'm so proud of the i mean i'm not like the biggest nascar stan but like um i'm just so proud of like nascar they're just stepping up definitely a lot of preconceived notions about nascar and like you know the um community but it's nice to see that like everyone is just on board. And I don't really follow NASCAR, and I had never heard of Bubba,

but, like, Homeboy can get it. Like, he's so cute. Homeboy can truly get it. I just started following him on Instagram, and it's premium, premium content. And he's sponsored by McDonald's, so, like, he posts these, like, McDonald's ads in his feed, and it's just, just like it's a dream

and I just I feel very terrible and guilty that like this had to happen for me to find out who Bubba is because like I said I don't follow NASCAR but um now that he's here I'm just so excited yeah I'm excited to know him and to follow along and you know what like NASCAR is really like showing up and maybe it's time for us to show up for NASCAR. Like, and, you know, it's the first sport that's, like, back on the track, but without fans. But once the fans are back, like, maybe we'll be in those stands. I don't know.

Maybe I stand for NASCAR. Right. So NASCAR, what's good? I just want to make it a good point like I will be following up with NASCAR in a few weeks like to find out like because these stories like unfortunately they're not that uncommon and then like you never hear the resolution like what happened did we find out who did it did he get punished did he go to jail like so you know I will be following up I I think this is so fucking heinous like I will will be following up. Yes, definitely.

Thank you for, for your follow-up and your follow-through. Hi, just following up here. I'm going to be emailing now. Circling back. Sorry for the delay. Following up on this. Thanks. See you by O-O-O-E-O-D-X-O, Claudia. Perfect. Okay. Next story is kind of shocking for me, at least. I'm curious to get your thoughts, because Carly Parse, known to some people as Carly Pierce, but known to the Steens as Carly Parse, files for divorce from Michael Ray after less than a year of marriage. After eight months of marriage, the Every Little Thing singer-songwriter filed for divorce from her husband. They just, keep putting the blank singer in

front of the blank singer i'm like we know who they are yeah we know who they are filed for divorce from her husband on friday their reps confirmed to people they said they put out a statement saying or a source close to par said this was a hard decision it wasn't something she wanted to have to do this hasn't been a quarantine realization it was a last decision. It wasn't something she wanted to have to do. This hasn't been a quarantine realization. It was a last resort. They last appeared in public together on June 6th when they both performed without a live audience at the Grand Ole Opry. They were joined on the bill by Steve Warriner and Lee Bryce.

I cannot get over this. Like, it is the weirdest thing ever. And I feel like in a lot of ways, like, they got married. They met. Like, it all happened so fast. And I don't know. Like, I guess we should have seen this coming, but I just didn't. I didn't see this coming.

I didn't, like, think about it. And honestly, usually when, like, a couple gets married, they don't, like, re-pop up on my divorce radar for at least a year. A few years. And these two, there was something like so immediate about their love and their marriage that made it think like made you think like they've been friends forever and they just woke up one morning and like they knew and like this was it this was the end of the road not the beginning of a new road so it's definitely surprising um

that they like i got divorced so soon after. What's your theory? I have a theory about what I think happened. And this is just pure conjecture. Just, like, we've met them both, but, like, always on a red carpet. So I don't know them at all, like, for real. It's just a vibe that I'm getting. I just feel like Michael Ray is, like, a jealous guy when it comes to like career stuff.

And I don't know. I just feel like in a lot of ways, like he popped on the scene and then like really, like his peak was like the day he started, you know what I mean? And now he's just like kind of floating around. And Carly Parse is really like on her way. She got nominated for CMA Best New Artist. And she has that fabulous song. I hope you're happy now and i don't know

i just feel like he couldn't deal with like her rising star and his slowly falling star that is just my guess okay i i don't feel that um and i do sort of have a theory but like it's it's too much assumptions based on someone else for me to share with class. You know what I mean? Like it's just not like – But that's like what we do here. We like share. No, no, no.

But it's like I'm not going to like start like labeling people, you know? Okay. What, you think one of them cheated? No. No. Maybe. Maybe actually. That like kind of would make sense.

I don't know. I'm just saying I don't remember how logistically like you cheat on someone in quarantine it's like so hard yeah i guess you could be like i'm going to get essentials essential dick today's episode title the essential dick yeah so this was just really shocking to me i feel like we'll find out eventually you know so i'm just gonna sit back and bide my time we'll follow up in a few weeks of course no no i can't explain like how this was really shocking but at the same time like not shocking at all like there was always something weird about their marriage like a in the way that it happened be like the way that they were so

fucking thirsty like at every event every magazine like even here she by the way it's like a direct source from scarlet parts like it's obviously, it's just, there was something so inherently like obvious and weird about it that I'm not shocked that it happened. I am shocked that it happened so quickly because they were so fierce in their love for one another and in professing it to every magazine and every stop on the red carpet. Like that's what shocks me is that they admitted, you know? Yeah, of course. So I think something happened, you know, Yeah, of course. So I think something

happened, you know, I think like if they were just like unhappy and unsure, like you can go on for years like that. Um, especially when like your relationship is good for your career and everybody loves you. And it's like, yeah. And that's what they were, you know, every, I feel like everyone in the country community was so excited to see them together. And so I think something happened and maybe one would love to know what you think I just I just don't think it's appropriate to like you know speculate on someone and like throw out some some labels okay and what do I know it's it was like I don't know anything so I just don't think it's appropriate so um that's that on that'm going to shift to a little more happy couple news because I did something crazy last night

and I watched a bit of The Bachelor Greatest of All Time because it was Ben Higgins season. And not even because it was Ben Higgins season, but like every week the promo for the show has gotten me a little more interested in watching it. And then like last night I was FaceTiming with The Snatchler 802. She's like, I'm turning on Bachelor. And I'm like, they got me. They got me at the right time. The Snatchler did her magic and now I am turned. So some bits of news came out

of it. A lot of which we'll share right now. First up, Kaylin Miller-Keys and Dean Ungler explained their commitment rings, quote, we're in this for the long haul. So Kaylin and Dean came on last night and they are just weirdly like the most perfect, cutest couple ever. Like the couple that makes most sense in this world. And like so stable. Like it was a little weird in paradise, but the second they left Mexico, like they have never once wavered in their commitment to one another. Yeah. And so they were just like talking about their relationship, the van life. They live in Santa Monica and how they really just like, you know, what they've been doing the last year. And Chris Harrison asked them if they're married because they wear wedding rings. And Dean like was a little cagey at first, but then he said, in my opinion, I don't need the title of husband to show the world that I'm committed to one person. opinion, I don't need the title of husband to show the world that I'm committed to one person.

The fact that I'm wearing the ring is showing that I'm committed to Kaylin and only Kaylin, and I've been wearing it for the past six months or so. He said that him and Kaylin are in a domestic partnership. She said she wears her fun little ring as well, which isn't the ring of traditional marriage or engagement, but it's our way of telling the world and the people we're around that we are committed to each other. I mean, this is like so like Dean's thing and Caitlin has obviously adopted it. But whatever. I just love them. And it's obviously not what I would do. But different strokes for different folks.

They seem really, really happy together in their weird, you know, surfer life. And I'm just, I ship. I stand. I'm at the port standing with my ship. No, at the port standing with my ship. They just were so in sync last night she is so beautiful but she just had this glow about her like just this happy couple glow and I I think it's cool like obviously that's not what we've chosen to do with our lives

like we are married um but I I like their mentality me too no it's very sweet and very romantic and i like i said i'm standing at the port with my ship and i'm waiting for it to come in yeah okay next story also something that happened last night that i was really taken by so i wanted to discuss it wait okay actually no you go ben higgins is apologizing to bachelor villain olivia carini for his lack of wisdom and maturity. Olivia Caridi has come a long way since bursting onto the reality TV scene as one of The Bachelor's most memorable villains. She returned to the franchise last night for the first time in four years to reflect on her experience, where she looked back on Ben Higgins' season in 2016.

Appearing via video chat from her home in Austin, she recalled how her relationship with Ben crashed and burned after a promising start. She said that Ben Higgins was, quote, everything I thought he was going to be. She said her confidence was shaken when she noticed that he was developing connections with other people. Quote, I think that's when I self-destructed completely because I was trying to find a way to make it happen when I probably knew in my head that it wasn't going to happen. Okay, so I watched her segment. She talks a lot about like what happened on the season, how she went from like first impression rose to dumped in a windy Bahamas Island. But she also talked a lot about her experience watching the show and what that was like for her and like how devastating it was like

to one watch the show and hear like other girls talk badly about you, your physical appearance and just like make fun of you. And then also, you know, the public element of being on the show and like not wanting to go out and like how much she struggled with it through the years. And like, she, I mean, we've known her for a long time and like we've known for a long time that she's not the person that she was on the show and that she's a fabulous, hilarious, such a sweet girl. But like- Literally the nicest girl you've ever met. The nicest girl you've ever met, which is so crazy considering, like, when I was even watching the season, I was like, oh my god, I can't believe that's the same Olivia that

we know. Like, it's crazy. She was incredible last night. Like, she was so smart and funny and, like, honest. And she was talking, like, I feel like she was really quote unquote canceled before. Like now it's just, you know, a template. And I feel like the person, right. The person who came after her, I think was Corinne who handled it completely differently and really turned it on its head. And I think she did an amazing job at that, but I think Olivia

really struggled at the time. And like, she got an apology for Ben for like him not having her back while the season was airing and kind of just like let people get carried away with the things really struggled at the time and like she got an apology for ben for like him not having her back while the season was airing and kind of just like let people get carried away with the things that they were saying about her which was really kind of him to do um but i think it was more of it was more of a commentary on the culture and like bachelor nation and like why do we do this to people you know it's very sweet ben higgins is such a nice guy never once did i blame what olivia creedy went through on ben higgins like he was fucking busy trying to find the love of his life and it's very sweet that he apologized and it's not on me to forgive him but like i don't think

that was necessary like if they're really gonna go in why don't we talk to some of the editors who decided to portray olivia creedy in a certain way or mike fleiss who obviously has you know a large hand in deciding you know who gets portrayed in what's light and who gets portrayed in a negative light like I don't really understand Ben kind of taking the fall but he's lovely to do it but Olivia Caridi deserves justice and it's not really in the form of an opinion of an apology from Ben Higgins he didn't do anything wrong yeah I agree with that he I'm glad she had this like moment. He feels like he could have gone on Twitter when the show was airing and been like, no, Olivia's a great girl. Like you're not seeing her the way that I saw her. And I just want to say like, I've never seen a stronger connection on The Bachelor

than night one, Olivia Caridi and Ben Higgins. Like I had my Bachelor bracket done, locked and loaded. And I was like, this is it. And then after the episode aired, they showed like the previews for the season. And it was, like, her against the world. And I was completely shocked. So we met Olivia Caridi in your old apartment building during her season, right? It might have been as it was airing or, like, a month later. You know, as it was airing. She didn't move to New York, like, as it was airing.

So it was probably, like, right after her season aired. And she moved to New York. And we met her in my building. And then, like, she lived in New York for as it was airing so it was probably like right after her season aired and she moved to New York and we met her in my building and then like she lived in New York for a while and we've been like good friends since yeah and I just remember thinking like this is the girl she's so nice and simple like what's the what's the big mystery to do yeah no I remember feeling the same way so watching it back last night I was like oh my god I I it's shocking yeah and in a lot of ways I'm like glad again that like she had this like moment my god i i it's shocking yeah and in a lot of ways i'm like glad again that like she had this like moment of retribution but it's like on behalf of bachelor nation it's like a little too little too late first of all and two it's like well we're going

in like let's find the true person accountable like let's find the person who clicked copy paste yep yeah let's let's i mean what i was gonna say about Ben Higgins season is um I didn't watch the thing last night but I watched it when it was on the air and I have been I have said since that day that I really felt like Ben should have chosen Jojo like it was to me it was so obvious that Jojo was the winner like he loved her so much. Like, and I don't know. And by the way, him and Lauren didn't even end up working out. So, like, I wonder if he ever thinks, like, hmm, what if I went with JoJo?

What would my life have looked like? Like, I have never seen a bigger, greater love on The Bachelor than the one between Ben and Lauren. Like, even as I was watching it back last night, it's just they had this, like, connection where they didn't even even they didn't even have to say all this stuff to each other like when she told him she loved him it was just like a giggle and a slip out and like she's covering her face and crying and when he said it back it was just like messy and so cute and then when Jojo said it it was like I just feel like you know this is so hard for me like typical bachelor shit and even though watching it back

last night I was like oh they definitely had something steamier than I remember it being like Ben and Lauren there was a reason they were happily ever after like and I I know they didn't work out I know that no but like they were the right people for each other at the time and not for forever but for the year and you know I so funny how they are just they are the the greatest love story of our time it's so funny how like we watched the same season and you would think that like the winner would be so obvious but like really everyone experiences it differently like I really thought back, and then watching their reality show, Ben and Lauren Happily Ever After, where they, like, had to go to brunch with JoJo and Jordan,

like, I was like, it's so obvious he's still in love with JoJo. No, not- I wonder if he ever thinks about her. I genuinely, I'm curious. I don't know. I always saw it as, like, he told Lauren he loved her because he wasn't gonna let the woman that he loves say it and him leave it hanging. So then, like, he had to say to say to Jojo too to even the playing field and like I just always saw it through that prism of like Jojo like he did to Jojo what Jojo did to Robbie like just bringing someone to the end for the sake of having two people there right yeah but but Jojo was a like a fabulous worthy, and Robbie was nothing of the sort. And I've just actually been thinking about Jordan and JoJo a lot because I guess their

wedding date was, their original wedding date was like a week ago, and they were posting about how they were supposed to be getting married that day, but because of coronavirus, they obviously had to push it off. And I just totally forgot about them them. They like, to me, when they were watching the season, I had the most doubts about them. To me, they were just so obviously like thirsty and in it for the fame. And I do still think they're thirsty, but I do really feel like their love is real. Like I believe in their love. I believe in their love. I don't think that they're thirsty because like, I'm not watching them drink, you know, like they are just living their life. It's not like they moved to LA and they are,

I know they had their like TV show of house flipping, but like, that's truly what Jojo did before the show. I actually think the proof is always in the pudding and like, they have turned out to be like rock solid and therefore everything happens for a reason. Also, I didn't finish watching the show, but I'll finish watching it. I'm sure they mentioned that like Ben Higgins is happily engaged now to like such a cute human being.

Not that I know her, but just from Instagram. And so, and like Lauren is so happily married. And so it all works out in the end, but like it had to go this way for Ben to end up with Jess Clark, for Lauren to end up Lauren Lane and for Jojo to end up with Jordan Rogers. So everything happened the way it was supposed to. And everything happens for a reason. And you can really see that as evident in Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor. No, and it's just one of the greatest, truly one of the

greatest seasons of all time. And also I enjoyed watching it because it harked me back to the days when I was so into The Bachelor, you know, and like up on everything. And it just like, it reminded me of when and why and how I used to love The Bachelor. Yes. Also, not again that I didn't watch it, but I saw people watching it on Instagram and they were just like showing the actual TV. And it is insane how different all the contestants look. Like JoJo looks, JoJo's a different person. Lauren is a different person. Amanda's a different person. Amanda's a different person. Becca's a different person. Like they all just like glowed up so hard.

And it's like, I can't believe this is what they looked like when they were on TV. Cause in my mind, like what they look like now is what they've always looked like. Yeah, no, it's insane. But they also like,

I'm sure everyone's like, they got so much work done, which I'm sure like people have had work done, like a little lip here, a little chin there, but you can also, they look so like like babies babies so young and it's really crazy to see also like seeing Amanda's daughters on the show like I'm like kids in char like they're on 19 yeah um it was just it was honestly really fun to watch like I understand what like what they're

trying to do but it also goes to show that the one season of The Bachelor can be distilled into three hours that is a fabulous point and it also goes to show you like the glory days of The Bachelor franchise are certainly behind us I think we'll see we'll see I am really hopeful for Matt James um oh yeah I've been following him on Instagram and I'm so excited about it, but we still have Claire's season before, which is just the funniest thing. I actually don't think I'm going to watch Claire's season. I actually was going to be done with the franchise altogether, but I do want to support the first black male lead. So I will watch Matt's, but I don't really think I want to support, I mean, not support, sorry. I don't think I want to watch Claire's. I'm just like,

it's such a commitment, time, emotions. Yeah. And then it gives me a migraine. So then I have to go into my magic pill stash, but they only give me six at a time. Okay. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? It's a little random, but I'm- Is it a little random news? It's a little random business. Random news. Oh, business. News. Random News. Oh, Biz News. Yeah, Random Biz News because it's from CNN Business. And it's a roundup of some of the brands that are a resale gold mine. Do you know what I mean? Like consignment? Consignment, yeah.

But from high-end, low-end. Yeah, sure. There's some that you would guess, but then there's some that you wouldn't. Like ThredUp shared some of their- Real up share real real stock x no no no what brands within those like if you're selling your stuff what brands of your shit have the highest resale value what a weird article who fucking cares oh my god i think that's cool like what you could buy now that might hold value chanel yeah but also so let me just get to it because um they spoke to like thread up and real real and real real is more high end thread up is more low end so thread up really solicit brands with the best overall

resale value on its platform which it determines by assigning scores that take into account a brand's demand virality and value to the seller. Fry, sorry, I said fire, like fire festival. Oh, Fry Boots. Fry, the leather goods company best known for its beloved boots, topped the list for a second year in a row. That's good to know if you've got a pair of fries. Other notable brands with excellent resale value include fashion labels Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and Coach. Outdoor clothing brand Patagonia also made it into ThredUp's top 10. Also, eyewear brand Ray-Ban made the cut, as did eco-friendly clothing brand Reformation, which prides itself on using sustainable fabrics. On the luxury end,

RealReal gave a glimpse into the top 10 brands that have held the highest resale value on the platform over the last decade. On the list are luxury brands air maze louis vuitton spelled wrong goyard and tiffany's for air maze the item that's consistently held the highest resale value is the ultra pricey air maze birkin air maze crack air maze air maze air maze crack air maze i need to get myself a birkin totally a new birkin bag can cost close to ten thousand dollars all the way up to hundreds of Hermes, Hermes, Hermes, crock, Hermes, crock. I need to get myself a Birkin. Totally. A new Birkin bag can cost close to $10,000 all the way up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's for a new one, but a resale one could be less. Meanwhile, Gucci, Fendi, and Dior are the top three brands with the fastest growing resale value in the same time period, according to The RealReal.

I mean, all of that is pretty much what you think it would be. Yeah, I was surprised to not hear Chanel on the RealReal one. Interessant. I wonder why. Well, yeah, I don't know. Maybe CNN just didn't choose to write about that one. Interesting. I mean, I consign on the RealReal um so i'll just have to put all my air maze in one box i actually have one item from air maze in my closet and i did get it for free so i'll sell it no kidding um yeah no i it just gets you thinking. Yeah, no, about value and the market. The market is quite interesting. You know me, I'm always at the stock exchange,
