Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast! Today is January 26th! I've been dreaming of this all year long! My book, my book, my book, my book is finally out! Claudia, that's beautiful. Thank you so much thank you it is book day i feel like it's middle school it's the book fair oh my god i hope my mom gave me some money for the scholastic book fair this book needs to be included in all scholastic book fairs that's so funny that you say that because literally yesterday some i was watching something and there was a book fair i'm like i wonder if my book will ever make it depends on the fair to a scholastic book fair I don't know about scholastic but maybe a book fair somewhere right a fair of books a fair of books today is such an exciting day because the book is here

you guys everyone has started reading it is already crying is already laughing is already understanding did you see snitch's caption yes it was so profound I mean I'm just being inundated with like messages it's like your birthday it's so much better like I never get this much love on my birthday like it's so overwhelming I'm trying to like read everyone's messages and I just can't believe like first of all how many people read it already because like Amazon put it on Kindle late at night at midnight it was confirmed someone tagged me in their story we got confirmation on my Kindle I couldn't get it at midnight oh when did you get it like when i woke up at four interesting yeah okay someone had tagged me that it came out on theirs at midnight so audiobook came out like a little after midnight

so we didn't really get like a full answer on our major question yeah we'll be fine but the books are here people are reading it the books are here people have finished it which is so crazy that is crazy i mean it's a snackable book. I did not want to write something super long like Homer. That book was terrible that he wrote. He wrote a few. And I want it, you know, the long one, The Odyssey. The Iliad and The Odyssey.

That was like the fact that he did that to us and we all had to read it in fucking high school. Like that was disrespectful as fuck. Yeah, that was hard stuff. But I would say that like this is similar in its jargon to the Odyssey. No, it's definitely similar in the sense that like it's, you know, well respected by the literary world. Yeah, the literary world.

If you guys have been feeling some like uneasiness under your feet, it's because the literary world is quaking today. I'm so glad you said that because I was really worried. I woke up and I'm like, it felt like an earthquake almost. Like the ground kind of shook beneath me. And it's obviously just the impact, the butterfly effect from the literary world, literally quaking, teeth chattering.

Yeah, it's a crazy, crazy time. So yes. It's such an exciting day. It's so exciting. I've had such a long day already and I have so much more to do. But the book is out. I took my heels off so I could, you know,

just be comfortable. And also because given the fact that your beautiful foot is on the cover of the book, we are going to have some people coming to the show wanting to see that foot again. Yes. And she is here to show it to you. Not only are we penetrating the literary community through this book, but we are penetrating the foot fetish community as well. And I'm really excited for those fellows to get here. Get you a book that can do both. That's us. We have a great show for you guys today. Obviously, we're going to be talking about my book like pretty much the whole time. But we have the Fast Five. We have a great show for you guys today. Obviously, we're going to be talking about my book like pretty much the whole time.

But we have the Fast Five. We have the Bachelor Recap. And then we have a very special surprise. My husband is in studio. He accompanied me along some of my festivities this morning. And now he's going to be joining us because we have a little game we want to play with him. We have a really fun game that we're going to play with him. And honestly, Ben, I'm so happy that you're here. But him being here does throw a wrench in some of my plans yeah I know where I was just gonna spend

this episode like trying to get Claudia and Maverick back together Jackie's just been on one since yesterday when she really realized after reading my book she read it again that I think my true purpose in life was to end up with the boy who stole my heart my first kiss sorry Ben I know you're in studio but Maverick yeah Maverick is the one that got away. And I actually feel like starting today with this book coming out, the sequel is writing itself because somewhere on Long Island, Maverick's sister is buying this book. Then she's going to tell him about it.

He's going to read it. He's going to reach out. And it's going to be like this beautiful love story that I think you're going to be chronicling in the sequel. And Jackie has literally assigned herself president of the Mavdia fan club. Maverick and Claudius. We have ships and we're building them so my enterprise is booming. No you're right it is kind of weird now that Ben's here. Like the joke isn't as funny. I'm like looking at him dead in the eye saying where are you going to live when Maverick comes.

It's not as funny. No it's not. We'll have to wait for tomorrow. So we have a great show. I think we should just dive right in because we have so much to do. And I could just sit here and talk for hours about how grateful I am for the support that my book is getting. Like, you have no idea what it means to me to be a first time author. And just the reception is so positive. And people are like as excited as I am, which is crazy. It's like we've been so excited.

And then today, like seeing all the toasters be so excited has made me like has revamped my excitement I even put on a pussy bow shirt for the occasion because I did not know what you were gonna say but it's scary she put on a pussy bow yes my that's pussy bow yes this is my Peter Herman top um and I haven't had an excuse to wear a pussy bow all year this is it and I'm so glad that I finally have a reason to like get dressed in business casual. Today's the day. Today's the day. So I think without further ado we're going to deliver the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast. And it is only you know appropriate that today's episode which is really a big day in toast history is brought to you by Bruch. It makes the most sense and I did Bruch my teeth this morning before my day full of press. Very big day and I started it with a Bruch.

Now what is the Bruch? It is the best electric... Ben, you're making a lot of noise with your bagels and I'm trying to work here. Yeah and you could you could hear about the Bruch. Yeah you need a Bruch. Ready? Do you want to know what a Bruch is Ben? Bruch is redefining what it means to have a perfect smile because a healthy smile is a perfect smile so bruce is the best electric toothbrush on the market in my opinion for a multitude of reasons one a lot of them can cost like over 200 bruce is very reasonably priced and it works so well it's also beautiful like i find a lot of them to be like bulky and ugly and you don't want them to sit on your counter. I go for a very Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, minimal clutter vibe. But the brush

is sleek. It has a magnetic charging station. We both got the one in pink. It's really the best packaging, the best everything. Aesthetic on point. And we've also like been going to the dentist recently and she's been so impressed by our teeth and we're like we brush. We brush. The brush itself has six unique modes to customize your brushing experience. It also holds a four-week battery life and has a magnetic charging stand and a compact travel case. They offer a subscription program where you can never forget to change your brush head again because Bruch will ship you new replacement heads every six months so you're never stuck using a worn down brush head. It has a sleek design, their electric toothbrush is modern, aesthetically

pleasing, and comes in trend-driven seasonal colors and looks great on your bathroom counter get 15 off your bruce toothbrush kit and refill plan when you use promo code toast at bruce.com again that's 15 off the bruce kit and the refill plan when you use the promo code toast at brush.com that's toast at bruce.com love it okay first story first she said good morning america now she's saying good morning millennials claudia ashrae stole the show on gma today you guys i said good morning america and tell us about the experience please because you sort of just like dropped to everyone that you were going on gma yesterday and everyone was like wait did i hear correctly gma that's so exciting it's no gmm but still very very cool it's no GMM but yes I mean I things move so fast and so much of my like press has gotten rescheduled so I didn't want to say anything because then it would

like if I had like yeah if I got bummed it's a Neil Cavuto effect it's the Neil Cavuto effect Jackie and I got bummed from the Neil Cavuto show right when we like bought new outfits I bought two pussy bow shirts okay i was in the middle of getting my eyebrows dyed my eyelashes died when he was like neil cavuto neil cavuto wanted us to talk about business and like for us to be recognized for our business to go on a business news network so fucking bnn we were so fucking excited i bought two pussy bow shirt no i had my whole outfit ready to go like Moschino dollar signs code it was just gonna be a sickening moment and then Neil and then we got bumped

canceled he bumped us for like some NATO emergency and it was devastating so now I'm glad there's always gonna be a NATO emergency always but there's not always gonna be two sickening queens wanting to talk about business with Neil motherfucking Cavuto no there's not but you had a better opportunity today yeah and so I just didn't want to bring it up because things move so fast and you know the television industry but yes I did good good morning millennials good morning America this morning it was so crazy I mean I couldn't go into the studio because of COVID but they have a remote studio and I didn't want to do it from home like this was my moment I wanted my I wanted a premium camera not my laptop you know a hundred percent but it made it feel much more real. Like I was quaking, actually, not like the literary world.

I was truly shook. Like I had a duty like in my belly, you know? And then of course I'm like, do I have to poop or am I just nervous? And then when it was done, like it was gone. Like duty never to be seen again. But it was good. I mean, it was really, really scary. I think I was more scared for that than I was to ever perform in front of people like it was just a different and I took the opportunity so seriously like I wore

my fucking Tory Burch heels like they're over there they're over there I mean I'm wearing my slippers now this is actually like nobody saw your shoes I know not even close no I know but like the people in the studio did I thought I was like an actual business very authorial yeah um it was just an amazing experience. It was very, very scary. But I'm like, I'm so glad it's over. Like I've been waiting. I was obviously always excited for pub day,

which is what we call it in the literary world. But I was really more excited for pub day at eight or nine o'clock because I just wanted it to be over. As much as I was so excited and grateful for the opportunity, completing it felt like a huge pit in my stomach. So now that it's over, now I feel like I can really celebrate. Well, the reviews are in

and you hit it out of the park. Thank you so much. I mean, Zach Weinreb said, best interview he ever saw. Wow. Jackie O said, beautiful, stunning, and smart. What did Bruno Sweet say?

Bruno Sweet said, that's my auntie. Yes. He was so proud. You should have seen him beaming. Bruno. I mean, Theo didn't get to watch it. I was going to bring him, but like, I don't know.

I'm just trying to take this whole thing seriously. Yeah. Because it's a serious day. I'm a first time author. And I can't believe Good Morning America like had me. Yeah. No, you did such a great job. I feel like you really summed up what the book's about.

You got people excited. You showed a little bit of your personality while taking it seriously. I'd say 10 out of 10, honestly. Wow. Thank you so much. I mean, I couldn't see what I looked say 10 out of 10, honestly. Wow, thank you so much. I mean, I couldn't see what I looked like, except there was this tiny little monitor where I looked so shiny, and I was like freaking out, and it was way too late to ask for a touch-up. I love a shine. I'm pro shine. But then I looked at the actual TV, and it must have been my monitor, because it was a little

shiny, but I think a little shine is good. Yeah, I agree. I so agree. It was a wonderful experience. Now I can say I've done the Today Show and GMA. So I'm good. And you've done Steve Harvey. Steve Harvey. And I've done... Maybe that. Anyone want to have me? Access Hollywood. Oh, I filmed actually Access Hollywood yesterday.

You know, Mario Lopez is one of the new hosts. Oh, I think I did know that. He was so cute and funny. And we had a great conversation. And that airs tomorrow. Or tomorrow. Speaking of Steve Harvey, though, I think everyone remembers when you were on the show. so cute and funny and we had a great conversation and that airs tomorrow or tomorrow speaking of Steve Harvey though um I think everyone remembers when you were on the show but you really give some

backstory from when you went on the show in the book I do that was like a pivotal moment in my career people always say like what was the moment you knew or like was there something that catapulted you and I think that being invited on the Steve Harvey show and that just it was a crazy fucking weekend in Chicago I read about it in the book I think that was like a huge turning point for me like one because I was really good at it like I was like oh my god I need to be on TV more like I'm so sickeningly funny and like I was annoying but I thought I was great and that's all I needed was confidence and so I always point to that moment because Steve really believed in me from the very beginning he did believe in you he invited me back again A really sweet story in the book that everyone's going to love. Speaking of the book, if you're reading it

now, we, in your week of press, you have your biggest opportunity coming up. It's true. She'll be on the Redheads Book Club podcast, where I think it's the first interview about the subject matter of the book. Yes. You know, with people who have read the book and we're all talking about what's inside. Yeah, so far I've been doing press, like trying to give little tidbits, but I didn't want to spoil anything. Right, so this is Spoiler Alert Central. Yeah. If you guys have questions while you're reading the book,

email them to theredheadsbookclub at gmail.com, and we will ask the author herself. Wow, ask the author. And the literary world will want to go ahead and quake. Did you see that on the TV guide, Good Morning America referred to me as author Claudia Asch, right? I did, and they put respect on your name. see that um on the tv guide good morning america referred to me as author claudia ash right i did and they put respect on your name there was also a lot of good guests on gma today wendy williams

and i want to talk about do you see that they're doing a lifetime movie what they're always doing a lifetime with wendy williams oh what's it about so she's about her so she is like a i guess like a two project deal i watched gma this morning and i found out. She is doing a docu-series like about her life, her breaking into the industry, and then like a live action movie about like her life. And they gave a sneak peek of a clip on GMA of the scene where the woman who's playing Wendy faints while wearing the Statue of Liberty.

And the girl does a really good job. Oh, wow. It'll be, I find those movies to be so weird. They are, but I feel like because Wendy's involved, it is going to be better than some of the others. So you should really watch Good Morning America more often. It's very informative. Yeah, and then when you're done with that,

you head over to Good Morning Millennials. Yeah, GMM. GMM, baby. Baby. Okay, next story. Kelly Clarkson's talk show could take Ellen DeGeneres' spot. I've been hearing this. You know, this sort of answers some of the questions

that we had a few weeks ago. Ellen may not be dancing so hard amid rumors over the future of her show. Stop that. Opening line is hysterical. She is struggling to hold onto her fan base following troubling accusations over her behavior. With just one year left on her existing deal, the multimillionaire host will enter talks about the Ellen DeGeneres show next month, Page Six has learned. Her ratings have slipped 8% according to stats,

and the Kelly Clarkson show, which airs after Ellen in most syndication markets, could well take the Ellen show's 3 p.m. spot if it comes to an end, insiders are musing. I mean, this seems like a natural progression of things. Ellen is not going to stay on the air forever, and after the last year, I think probably the end of her contract,

which I think gives us another season, is probably the best time for her to step down and Kelly Clarkson is like a fresh show everyone's loving it great guests great content Kelly Oki so I think it would make sense for and I actually think Ellen probably likes Kelly Clarkson I like to think yeah I mean I'm sure it will sting no matter who it is but at least like there's some I just feel like right now it's just a tough time to be in like daytime talk show or just having a talk show. It's always a tough business, even for a celebrity. So, you know, talented and iconic like Harry Connick Jr.

You know, it's really hard to make it work. And I feel like especially now. I feel like you took that cancellation of Harry's show, Harry Connick Jr. I feel like you took that really hard. I did because I used to watch it sometimes while I was getting my nails done. And I thought it was so good. I never saw a lick of it, but he's a handsome fella. Yeah. Yeah so if he can't make it like it's no one can. No you're right. But Kelly's doing it and but even like when you think about the Drew Barrymore show. Yeah.

What like it I feel like we heard about it so much for two weeks and I have not heard about it since. That happens a lot like there's so much hype for a TV show like all this money put behind it and then it's just gone a flash in the pan yeah so I don't know what happened to Drew I don't think she might still be I don't know I mean the reviews were not good Kelly just really persevered like through it all I feel like she put a lot of time and effort into styling the show's set and and the whole run of show and I feel like she was really involved and it's really good yeah she also just has that je ne sais quoi like you can't put your finger on it yeah it's just that x factor of

relatability plus celebrity you know similar to what we have and it's very very similar no I agree I think she's made for this job and I think it'll probably it will be her I do and I can't think of who else it would be to replace Ellen's time slot yeah I agree okay next story a little new romance Hannah Brown holds hands with rumored boyfriend Adam Wollard on a romantic LA outing she is she officially off the market Hannah Brown was spotted getting cozy with model Adam Wollard days after Bachelor Nation fans identified him as her mystery man the Alabama native was photographed holding hands with him as they walk through downtown LA on Monday in photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the two somewhere dressed down in sneakers and each wore face masks to keep themselves safe. So new man. What does he do? He's a model. A famous one? I hadn't

heard of him. But I feel like Hannah could do better. Not in terms of looks, just in terms of like fame. Yeah, but I feel like it's kind of maybe she actually likes him you know no no I'm sure she does which is nice but like I just love when famous people date other famous people yeah but I also just like hope that she's happy yeah me too I mean she really fell off the face of the earth like she was everywhere for so long like in our faces just like dancing with the stars and just doing the most and having so much success and then obviously the scandal happened and then she just like kind of lived just a quieter life yeah so but now she's stepping out with a new man he's handsome yeah not as handsome as you Ben no or as handsome as Maverick stop Ben wasn't even listening he doesn't even know what we're talking about um Ben what was the last thing we just said? I was going to say, I'm listening.

This is just like the shit on Ben show. That's what we'll call it. The shit on Ben show. Also, a part of me is always going to ship her and Tyler Cease. Like, ever since the quarantine crew. No. I feel like if it was going to happen, it would have. And it didn't.

So I'm moving on. Okay. Speaking of, we were talking last night have you been I mean I know you have but I'm just gonna phrase the question that way anyway have you seen this video that's going around of Matt Tyler and like a cup of their a couple of their friends playing golf yes I have there's an Instagram story going around I guess it was deleted but one of the bachelor fan pages picked it up um where one of the guys that they're playing golf with it's not Matt and it's not Tyler makes like a really not cool joke about Victoria and her body and then they all

laughed it was really like and again Victoria is like does herself no favors in terms of like being so mean on the show but then like you see a video like that and all of a sudden she becomes a sympathetic character you know Victoria is the worst but that still means doesn't mean you can't say anything like no no no it made me feel like so uncomfortable and she took it in stride and posted like a sickening photo of like a like a hilarious photo of her in a bathing suit and just like wanted to obviously address it but that she was really fucked up she also posted a hysterical meme um yes of like a beauty contest and like a guy on the couch who knows it's too big when it's like these girls are stunning and yeah it's nothing of the sort and

I I felt like that's it sums it up yes I agree um yeah I figured we would talk about that during the bachelor recap but I just found that whole situation to be really disappointing me too um okay next story for the Kimye stance I don't know what this means but Kanye has returned to LA after the quote split but like maybe he's there to sign the papers you know I mean or maybe he's there to go to counseling you could sign the papers virtually like with DocuSign and e-readers like you could totally do it virtually yeah Kanye has been spotted for the first time since page six claimed that he is separating from Kim the The 43-year-old rapper was spotted arriving Sunday by private jet at Van Nye Airport in LA from his ranch in Cody, Wyoming, where he's been holed up.

So this could mean anything. Yeah. Like literally anything. And I'm just going to take it to mean that like the virtual counseling wasn't really going well. Maybe the Wi-Fi was bad in Cody. And so he came to LA so that they could do it in person and fix what needs to be fixed

and move on with their happy family. No, that's a definite possibility. I do think it's wild how we've literally not heard a peep from either one of their camps on whether or not this is true. Like we're still speculating. And I just feel like by now we normally would have heard something. I just think that they haven't made a decision yet. They don't know.

Oh, you think? Yeah. I think that they're trying to work through it and they'll see if they can. Or maybe they're just waiting for the television show like to. Maybe. I don't know. I just think that they're they haven't made the decision. I really do.

And I think they're trying. I think him showing up is like, this is me trying. This is me trying. Yeah. OK, well, honestly. He heard that song. He was like. He loves.

Fire of the jet. He loves Taylor Swift. Yeah, he does. I mean, I well, honestly. He heard that song. He was like, fire of the jet. He loves Taylor Swift. Yeah, he does. I mean, I obviously hope these two can work it out. But if not, I'm just looking for some sort of resolution. This like purgatory period. Are you or aren't you? I'm fine with this purgatory period.

Because if it proceeds. It gives you hope. Yeah, and it's like, if the end of this is that they're over. Like, I would rather be in this period where I do have hope yeah I feel that okay our fifth and final story is little sports biz news now that we're the premier sports podcast a little sports biz news Budweiser like Coke and Pepsi will be passing on Super Bowl 2021 commercials what yep the king of beers won't be reigning over the Super Bowl 2021 commercial space this year

have you heard this ben do you want to join us i feel like you could give some it's a crazy story yeah i mean it makes sense once i give you the details i thought it was just because like 2021 is nothing of the sort like why would we spend 55 million dollars on a 30 second ad but no that's not it budweiser is the latest corporation to back out of advertising during this year's broadcast, choosing instead to join a public awareness campaign for the COVID-19 vaccine. For the first time in 37 years, the company won't air its game-stealing commercials. They said, quote, like everyone else, we are eager to get people back together, reopen restaurants and bars, and be able to cheers with family and friends. To do this and to bring consumers back into neighborhood bars and restaurants that were hit exceptionally hard by the pandemic. We're stepping in to support critical awareness of the COVID-19 vaccine.

I don't understand. It actually makes no sense. So they're trying to use like this time and energy and money to encourage people to get the vaccine so that people can start going to bars and restaurants and people can start ordering Budweiser there. Okay. And the restaurants could be safe,

but also like we could just also open bars and restaurants. No, also, okay, the $55 million Budweiser there. And the restaurants could be safe. But also like we could just also open bars and restaurants. No, also, okay, the $55 million Budweiser would have spent. Why don't you donate some of that to like the local bars and restaurants that serve your Budweiser? Yeah, donate some to the Barstool Fund. Yeah, no, they're like inadvertently trying to help bars and restaurants through like a PSA to get the vaccine. But like your money would actually go a lot further if you just gave it directly. the vaccine but like your money would actually go a lot further if you just gave it directly yeah they are um going to route some money to the ad council's efforts to raise public awareness about the vaccine as well as a 90 second covid themed film called bigger picture narrated by

actress rashida jones i've had enough of covid films okay the real housewives of oc is just one long covid film we never asked honestly this year has been the unofficial COVID film festival, and you're all losers. Other Super Bowl commercial giants such as Pepsi, Coke, and Hyundai will also take a step back from this year's game. Oh, God. Hyundai? Hyundai.

She says it on purpose, I think. No, but I just pronounce it phonetically. Hyundai. Hyundai. Hyundai. No, but like, I just pronounce it phonetically. Hyundai. Hyundai. Hyundai. Hyundai, millennials. Ben, what do you think about this? I think that it is just fake news.

Like, they're not running Super Bowl ads because the last couple of years, people are saying that they're not profitable. The reason why that's stupid, though, is because this year, I think it would be profitable. Everybody's sitting at home. It's going to be the highest rated Super Bowl. It's Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes. Everyone is going to be watching, and it's worth the premium. And the Super Bowl ads, you can't run advertising like that through an influencer or online. Those long 30 to 60 seconds.

Have you heard of the Morning Toast? like sure you could do podcast reads their money would be better spent here they should i'll take the 55 mil they they should run super bowl ads can we talk to you about something then of course you know we did a big super bowl segment yesterday because obviously there was a lot of football over the weekend and we figured out that you know the tom brady's are going against the jackson mahomes And we want to get your take because, you know, we are now one year strong of predicting the outcome of the Super Bowl. We knew last year it was not the time for the San Francisco 49ers. It wasn't their time.

And we were completely right. Now, before we make our official prediction, we're still weighing all of our options. We would like you to weigh in with your opinion about who's going to win. Whose time it is. Is it? It's Tom. What time it is is it it's it's summertime school's out scream and shout sorry continue it's it's tom brady's time it's always tom brady's time tampa bay buccaneers they went on the road won three very difficult games and now

for the first time ever i don't know if you guys know everyone knows yeah okay you do uh the super bowl is played at a neutral site oh yeah every single year we know that all right it's at home give us some they have a home game it is crazy though that well i was overhearing zach's sports show so i have a thought about that but it is crazy that that's never happened before that's what's crazy not that it's happening but that it's never happened she said it's it's like uh playing a roulette wheel. Yeah. One in 32 chance. I hear what you're saying about it being Brady's time,

but I do think you're missing out on a pertinent piece of information, and you're the kind of secret weapon that the Kansas City Chiefs have, which is Jackson Mahomes. Tell us, do you follow Jackson Mahomes on TikTok? For those who don't know, Patrick Mahomes is, like, the best, right? He's the quarterback. He made $500 million, biggest contract in NFL history. And his brother is a TikToker who kind of travels with him to all the games and like, you know, does like cringy TikTok

videos on the jet and in the suites. And it's honestly so cringy and so fun to watch. And I think that he's a secret weapon that a lot of sports analysts are underestimating this year. First and foremost, we have to be nice to Jackson Mahomes because that is the most bullied man in America. It's terrible what they did to him on TikTok. The comments are awful. The way you guys talk about him, I would never know. Yeah, no, he's just... He's iconic.

He's insanely roasted. He's like the most successful clout chaser just like living off of his brother. And I'm living for it. No, I love that. They say such mean things. The kids are so mean to him on TikTok. Kids willok so mean he is not even close to the secret weapon he is like the polar opposite he is an embarrassment i'm sorry i said it's we we shouldn't be you just said the kids are being mean okay but it's the truth uh two weeks ago passion home's got a concussion in the game

goes do i have a pimple or something you're staring at my forehead oh my god you do have a pimple I didn't say anything you brought it up

yeah but you're staring like there's like I have a third eye don't have a pimple and then I won't stare Patrick Mahomes gets a concussion everybody's so worried

mid game Jackson Mahomes tick tocking his brother was literally taken off the field. We live for the thirst. Yes, Jackson.

So relatable. Live for the thirst. The guy is so popular. Jackson Mahomes has 700,000 followers. It's not even that good. TikTok's the most viral platform in the world. He should have 10 million. He could be doing better in terms of growth.

Ben, maybe you should manage him. Yeah, that's what I need. Yeah. So we haven't officially decreed. No, and also when I was listening to Zach's show, they said that, yes, having that home court advantage will be an interesting touch considering it's never happened before. But this year it's kind of irrelevant

because, one, they're bringing in a lot of, like, health care workers into the stadium, not necessarily Bucs fans. Like, just because of the way that this fan seating is going to work, like, it doesn't really play a... It's not going to be full of Bucs fans. No, but to me, Tom Brady gets to sleep in his own bed. He gets to go into his own locker room.

He gets to take a shit in his own bathroom. Go on the field. He definitely has a heated toilet. For sure. Or a Toto. Love that for him. Rich. Yeah.

I don't know. I'm still buying my options. Me too. I'm leaning towards Tom Brady. But Travis Kelsey, he does not lose, you know? No, the Chiefs are unbelievable. Like, on paper, they're... I really feel like it's the old Garber versus the new.

Excuse me. I fucking said that yesterday. No, but then you said it, and then Tony Kornheiser said it. Who? Oh, you're watching PTI. Very nice. Yeah, that's what he was watching. And it's really true.

Like, Patrick Mahomes is the future of the sport, but Tom Brady is the past and the present. And so whose time is it? Wait, no, it's like, who are we betting on? The past or the future? There's one guy that's been to 10 Super Bowls. There's one guy that's now going to be in his second. Tom Brady has been to more Super Bowls, twice as more Super Bowls than anybody ever. Patrick Mahomes has won every Super Bowl he's been in.

It's true. It's a hot take. Hot take. Well, thank you for that, Ben. Of course. And thank you for the business news segment. And we will let you know when we come down with our official decree. We're going to do a little bit of Bachelorette recap.

Ben actually walked with me, so maybe you'll be able to give some insight. Oh, I forgot about that. I know. We'll just, like, breeze through it because it was honestly a terrible episode. And that segment, very appropriately, because I needed a few of these last night to get through the Bachelorette, is brought to you by Usual Wines. Wines for the modern drinker.

We got brute and bruce today. So let's talk about The Bachelorette. We, I mean, the episode was so long. Was so bad.

And so bad. And I've said this, and it's getting really frustrating. And I feel like I get to this point every couple seasons with The Bachelor and Bachelorette where I just really feel like they're wasting our time. Like last night, we didn't get the final rose ceremony. It used to be the episodes ended at the rose ceremony. But now it's like they end right before the rose ceremony. It's so frustrating.

And these women, I know that women like Victoria and Anna are these like necessary evils like they make the show go around but I do feel like we've evolved past the need for them yeah I agree I my only thought from last night's episode is like one to bring in all these new girls is so annoying they're so there's still too many people there but the way that the OGs as they call themselves treated these girls as if they chose to come in second string like they've been at Nima Colon just as long as you've been they've been in a room alone by themselves you think being here for Matt was hard imagine being sequestered alone knowing you're coming in second string like all of these girls are the most like everyone who's there is

some of the most eligible girls in America you're no better than them that you got to go first like to come in second sucks as it is and then to be there and have people treating you as if you chose it this way right that was that was the thing like first of all the new you want to be mad at someone be mad at the producers yeah mad at Matt don't be mad at these girls the new girls coming in made the old girls look so bad like come off more insecure and jealous and then downright mean like being so catty fucking middle school bullshit and then when the new girls came in I couldn't deal with everyone yelling at them like it was their choice to show up three weeks late like that's how the show works

you're mad don't yell at Britney go yell at Mike Fleiss yeah it was just you're directing your anger in the wrong place and you're just being mean they were being so mean it was really shocking because I really feel like all of these girls obviously have watched every season of The Bachelor know how it goes down and know how to get themselves to the other side looking good on Paradise a million followers it's pretty fucking easy so to be that mean to them was like oh you just forgot where you are and who you are and that is just not acceptable way to act and even though Vibrator Girl was like so on the right side of history you know like I'm not like a fan of hers per se she was completely correct I was surprised she was alone in that too like she didn't have

anyone on her side one other person who could see it that way who could see the other side and like I thought the way that she went to Matt was the perfect way to go about it and just say coming from you it would mean so much more I tried it they don't listen to me like she was just on a whole other level from all of these people just she was a woman and the rest were girls a hundred percent I was worried that Matt was like not gonna have the right reaction because he's kind of stinking well so no the thing is he's stinking we don't even know what his reaction is because it doesn't happen till next week it sounded like he took what she said seriously but I want him to ask like who said what and like if he doesn't take action next week and send Anna home, like, I'm dead serious, I'm stopping watching the show.

Because I was getting so furious watching this whole thing with Britney, Anna, and the escort of it all. Yeah. So, okay, so much of it bothered me. First of all, Anna just bothers me. Like, she thinks she's so everything of the sort. And I'm here to break it to her that she's not. Second of all, it's one thing to like spread rumors

with baseless accusations like you have literally no proof but it's another to do it on television where that follows you and that's why Katie was getting so upset and I agreed with her like and by the way if you want to be an escort that is your business like your body do what you want with your life but like people exist outside of this show they have families they have jobs they have things and like just to put it out there just because you felt like being a bitch bothered me so much and literally as I was watching the episode I'm scrolling twitter and there's this New York Post article and it's like who is Brittany Galvin the girl accused of being an escort it's like that's just what her name is now you google her because Anna felt like it you know what I mean yeah no I'm sure she got messages of people saying that she's an escort but

similar to what was that guy's name from last season who was like the worst Yosef oh yeah and how there was like all someone got messages about him and this girl and it's like I don't care about dms you got before the show like unless you're going to show me the dms and go to the source and ask for their proof I do not care what anybody sent you before the show and like even then Yosef proved himself to be an asshole oh for sure and like he was a queen he was the worst because of that but like not because he had this like because he ghosted a girl before the show like I don't give a shit no but like the way Britney handled it she came out looking like the victor yeah and so I think if she stays around longer like I think this whole escort thing like will be squash but it's just

like I just want any contestant who's going on the show to know like I don't care what someone told you over dm whether it's true or not it it means nothing to the show everyone's coming on the show like with a clean slate almost I only know what I see on tv yeah no I couldn't agree more I'm not interested and also I was confused as the time I like when did you get these messages because you don't have a phone no okay so this is what I think happened. I think the cast was announced. I think those girls who were second string were announced with the OGs. And before they went, someone was like, watch out for her. And then I'm sure she showed up night one.

Anna was like, oh, this girl's not here. Got it. And then she came in and was like, eh. It was confusing. Yeah. I'm just done with Anna. Like, honestly, I know Victoria. And Victoria was being an animal last night. And she's so wrong. When she took the crown off of that girl's head, I'm just done with Anna. Like, honestly, I know Victoria, and Victoria was being an animal last night.

And she's so wrong. When she took the crown off of that girl's head, I was like, this is. So disrespectful. It, like, did not sit right with me. But, like, the thing is, is Victoria is, like, so bold in her meanness. Like, I almost, like, I expect it from her. I hate more when people like Anna, like, claim like they're, you know, Matt needs to know, like to do it in a way that's so fake and,

and not, you're trying to be earnest, but like, I know you're just spreading rumors. A hundred percent. At least Victoria knows who she is. And as much as I find her rude and disrespectful, like I kind of respect the fact that she's so upfront with her villainous vibes.

Whereas like Anna's like literally pretending to do this out of the goodness. Yeah. It really fucking bothers me. And I was really getting upset. And if Matt doesn't do anything, like I will be so annoyed with him. Yeah. Well, I will say, one, I'm glad that they brought in group number two because it really showed everyone's true colors from group number one.

Agreed. Everyone who was pretending to be like so perfect and sweet beforehand. Like we see you now. Thank you. Thank you for showing us. And the girl who got a one-on-one was a precious gem of a precious gem teacher like i think she will go very far i think that her and matt have an outstanding connection and so i think the ultimate group and matt's like love connections are better off for it i completely agree what did you and i also feel like the fact that he would

send some people home when he just got these new girls here it It's like, you guys had all this time with Matt. If they made more of an impression on him in one night than you've done in two weeks, that's on you. Could not agree more. Ben, what about you? Oh, also Kit is everything of the sort. Yeah. Who were some of your standouts?

I've just been listening to your dialogue. And you know, this show really sucks ass. Yeah, I agree. That's just like what it comes down to no you're so right i've never really liked this show no i really the first episode we watched together i really got into it i thought it was good you watch this episode fighting for love they have them boxing it has no fucking it has nothing to do with fighting for love no it's like in school you're not gonna have a calculator in real life and you have to do it all without a calculator it's like attached to my hand it doesn't even make any sense and then it's like in school when they tell you you're not going to have a calculator in real life and you have to do it all

without a calculator. It's a neat wire. It's like attached to my hand. It doesn't even make any sense. No, you're right. And then it's like a girl gets socked in the face and he's coddling her.

And then the episode, like, I guess, I think this is right before that happens. He's like working out shirtless in the jungle. Like the whole thing is just so stupid

and like it doesn't make any sense. And I don't know. You raise an excellent point. And then I actually feel when they read the date card fighting for love and all the girls were like oh they knew like terrible yeah they're always fucking fighting for love and i just ben's right like your ability to beat up vibrator girl has no bearing on your connection with matt like it's so stupid and honestly like

it's so but are you willing to fight for him no yeah because i have to go on a date and be on television i don't want one of my teeth knocked out. It's terrible. So stupid. Also, I don't remember her name. Anna looks just like Phil Dunphy's wife, the actress. Julie Bowen. That's a good call.

Twins. That's a good call. Twins. But I like Julie Bowen much more. Me too. It's funny. The other thing that I hate about this franchise is that you know that Victoria and Anna are never getting sent home, even though he does not like them. They'll get sent home they're no what I'm saying like they'll

last longer you know like the second uh Anna was getting like so much face time right at the end there's one rose left she's like I don't want to get sent home I don't want to get sent home you're like of course like they're gonna keep her like you know the rose is going to her then it goes to her the show's just very very predictable I really don't like it last thing I think that bringing in the second batch of girls actually was worse for the second batch. I know that the first was like really, really upset. Like it was clear. But how much does it suck to come for one day and be sent home? Oh, yeah.

Half the girls got sent home. They got there that day. So you quarantine for a month. Only one of the new girls. She was wearing like a bikini looking thing. Okay, whatever. In short hair. She got sent sent home so she quarantined for three weeks it's just awful that's all yeah hundred percent but also the girl that made out with him that was like britney i like her it was pretty bold yeah what would your first entrance be you'll say i'm the

bachelorette and i'm standing at this mansion and you have to make an impression. Hmm. I really don't know. So don't make fun of Brittany. She was just being... When did I make fun of her? She was just being creative. When did I make fun of her? Just now. I don't think I made fun of her.

He said it was bold. Yeah, I think you did. Yeah, I said bold. So that's our Bachelorette recap and we'll see if I'm still watching next week. Yeah, and it's wearing at my patience. Me as well. Okay, now it is time for a very fun segment called
