Good morning, Millennials!
Welcome back to the Morning Toast.
Happy Friday, you guys. We made it.
It's so beautiful to be at the tail end of the week.
We have Alarm Free Living right ahead of us.
We've got Ben on the toast today.
Hey, Ben, how you doing?
I'm doing great, Jackie. How are you?
I'm doing good. I mean, you know, we're on day two out of three of the Bwunge Takeover.
I think it's going really well. I think people are really enjoying it.
I'm enjoying it.
Are you enjoying yourself?
Yes.
It's wonderful.
I do have a comment, though.
You said it's Friday.
Yay.
Like, days of no alarms.
I've started to think, you know, we're celebrating Fridays only to have another week yet again next week.
I know.
Doesn't it kind of seem like we're caught in a bit of a rat race?
It's true.
Doesn't it kind of seem like we're celebrating to be sad, to celebrate to be sad, to celebrate?
We're on this hamster wheel, but it is what it is, and so we have to celebrate the small
wins.
Or we celebrate the small wins every day so that Mondays don't seem so dark.
I'm not going to, I don't know where you've been.
The subway.
No, I'm kidding.
No, I mean.
Never.
Here on the show, we really do try and just help people get through the week.
Obviously, Monday can be so Monday-y.
But every day has its own personality.
And we're always looking for the lead up to Friday.
And when Friday is here, we have to acknowledge that.
And we have to just look forward.
I mean, after this, you're going golfing. Yes. How fabulous for you. Yes. It is fabulous for me. I'm
going to snuggle up with Brew and get ready to celebrate our brand anniversary. What is that?
One year anniversary of Brew. Today? No, it's like in a few days. I need to get the exact date,
but it's end of October. It's close. It's close. So I've just been like, you know, ruminating on
life with Brew, the last year with Brew. And it's just been october it's close it's close so i've just been like you know ruminating on life with brew the last year with brew uh-huh and it's just been something so special i mean i
know you don't really know him i you i know him as much as i'm allowed to you don't you keep him
like uh what is her name rapunzel up in a tower he's calling for help he's screaming ben pick me
up jackie won't let me leave the. We've watched Shrek 90 times.
Brew loves Shrek.
He loves Donkey.
He thinks he's hilarious.
By the way, you love Shrek.
I mean, Shrek is so good.
Yeah, Shrek's good.
It's so fucking good.
I just watched all four recently.
The music.
It's just, it's so fucking good.
So good.
Can't be understated.
No, I just, I don't know why you're kind of like an absent uncle and you haven't spent that much time with Brew.
What does that even mean?
No, I'm kidding.
Like when you I guess you know Brew like when you come over for Monopoly.
He's always there being good boy.
I see Brew as much as I'm invited to see Brew.
Am I supposed to come over and pick up Brew and take him to the park?
I have I have crew.
I just want you to know I would do that for Theo.
I did do that for Theo.
When you didn't have Brew. I would still
do that for Theo. You would randomly walk
over to my apartment, leave Bruno at home,
pick up Theo and take him to the park without
me asking you? If I could sense that's what
Theo meant. Without me asking you. If I could sense
it, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Cool.
Well, Theo right now, because Claudia's away, is home alone.
Why didn't you bring him in?
Because he's actually out with our walker.
Oh, and...
He's walking.
Yeah, because we're recording a little early, and also you're going golfing, so then we
just...
But after this, though, if you want, he's there alone.
You could go pick him up, take him to the park, walk him around, and then drop him back
at the apartment before you go and hang out with Brew.
Interesting.
That sounds good, right?
I'll definitely think about that. i'll definitely consider it you could actually
take him to your house yeah or i can have the walker drop him at a play date for the boys
that sounds so oh they're so precious they're so cute these boys anyways we have a great show for
you today we actually have so much to discuss, like so much newsy news,
and I need to get your take on all of it. There was no TV on last night. I personally spent the
evening reading. I'm almost finished with my book. I'm reading Apples Never Fall by Leanne Moriarty.
Now I'm at like 75%, so it's like all downhill from here. We're about to get answers. We're
about to slide into home. Like the majority of the beginning of the book was just set up, and now it's payoff time.
Do you ever consider watching sports?
It's just interesting to hear there's nothing on last night.
There was so much on last night.
Oh, yeah.
Zach was watching a game.
I believe it was the Browns versus the logo that looked like the Bills but wasn't.
Football is, I mean, last night's football was very boring, but there was a Warriors
game last night.
Warriors.
Stephen Curry.
Okay.
He had 25 points in the first quarter.
Wow.
He only finished with like 45, but I'm just saying.
There was some good stuff on TV.
Okay.
And I would highly recommend on Thursday nights, tuning into TNT, there's an NBA doubleheader.
Riveting.
In case there's a lack of television on Thursdays.
Okay, yeah, well, think about it.
I'm more of a TMT over TNT girly, but that's just me.
That's fair.
You need a news network, like a TV news network.
We've got to bring it on to TV.
TNN.
We've got to bring it on to TV.
Yeah.
Wow.
We're already on TV.
It depends how you choose to stream our show, but you can get the YouTube app and watch us.
We're already on TV.
It depends how you choose to stream our show, but you can, you know, get the YouTube app and watch us.
And I've actually seen, like, my favorite thing is getting tagged in stories when I
see people watching the Toast on TV.
Yeah.
No, same.
It's amazing.
It's a premium experience.
Premium.
Yeah.
And, like, the quality of the set, the camera.
Lights, camera, action.
It's like they don't even know that this couch is busted.
Yeah.
But, you know, we suffer through the couch. No, it's good. It's good. Yeah, you look extra uncomfortable today. No, it's
because I'm choosing to hike my big tree trunk leg up. Yeah, that's a lot of leg. It's hiked.
I'm looking in the monitor. It's hiked up. We're seeing a lot of leg today. Yeah, wow.
How fortunate for all of you. Yeah, you guys. You're welcome.
You're welcome.
So, I think we can get right into everything because there's a lot to discuss.
You have, you know, to go golfing and we wouldn't want to hold you up, you know?
Sure.
And I think...
You're not holding me up, though. We will take our time.
We will take our time.
We will go through the stories the way that God intended them to be told.
I agree. You can't rush the toast.
No, especially not these juicy stories.

Okay, first story.
This was breaking news last night.
I think it's a big story of the day.
Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun that killed a cinematographer
and injured a director on the set of his new movie, Rust.
Cinematographer Halina Hutchins was killed
and director Joel Souza was injured on Thursday
after Alec Baldwin accidentally misfired a prop gun on a New Mexico set of his upcoming Western film.
Authorities responded to the incident at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set of Rust.
That's the name of the movie.
Around 1.50 p.m. local time following 911 calls indicating an individual had been shot on set.
The Stanish Bay Sheriff's Department wrote in a press release obtained by People.
What was the name of the cinematographer?
The one who passed away?
Yes.
Halina.
Halina?
Mm-hmm.
First and foremost, horrendous story.
Horrendous.
And apologies and justice for the family of Halina. because that is like possibly the worst way to
die that I've ever heard you're on set a movie right and a prop gun is fired by somebody that
shouldn't have had a real bullet in their gun like there's no that's not a dangerous area
yeah it's terrible no it's I mean, there are so many questions about this story,
why there wasn't a gun, an active gun on the set,
whether what was inside the gun, was it a bullet or a blank,
but regardless, there are people whose job it is to manage the props.
There's a prop master.
Why is someone walking around with a gun that could kill people?
What do you think?
I don't know.
I don't know enough about the movie industry or guns
to understand how something like this could happen.
I definitely can't imagine.
One, I had no idea that prop guns could be filled.
That seems incredibly strange.
I'm saying like we don't have enough technology to make a prop gun
that sounds like a gun, looks like a gun gun but doesn't actually load like a gun or just have a prop gun and then you add special effects like
we have a whole fucking movies that are made on the computer you can't just add the sound it has
to be something that shoots out of a cannon by the way i'm positive that because of this like
they won't let guns they won't let prop guns on sets anymore. You think so? Yeah. This is like a crazy fucking story where there's obviously foul play.
I don't know who did it.
But like, by the way, we're turning into, this is turning into like a murder mystery
podcast.
I'm just saying.
Like there's a couple of, between the guy in the lake yesterday, this one, which that
one we can get to.
We will get to.
But either, either Alec Baldwin and this person had beef.
Okay.
That's like the far-fetched version.
Okay.
I don't think that's what it is, but I'm just saying.
Okay.
So it would either be Alec Baldwin put the bullet in and killed that person.
I don't think that's what it is, but because it's a murder mystery podcast, we have to explore all routes.
Okay.
podcast. We have to explore all routes. Okay. And then the one that makes the most sense would be that the prop master had beef with the person or it was some just horrendous accident that is
unexplained that maybe somebody on set, they said it's in New Mexico? Yeah. Are there, what are the
gun laws in New Mexico? I'm unfamiliar. Like are you just able to bring a gun into a film set
because maybe somebody accidentally put their gun down on the table?
It was mistook for the prop gun handed to Baldwin.
Pow, pow.
Perhaps.
I don't know.
I don't know about all that.
I think it was more so negligence.
But the negligence on who if it's a prop?
Why was it loaded?
I don't know.
Can't be negligence.
You want to move your mic closer? I'm just worried about that.
My mic is like in my mouth.
Can't be negligence.
I hope we get more
details and clarity around this story because
there needs to be answers
here. There needs to be answers here there needs to be
responsibility and accountability and justice yeah and and like regardless of if it was Alec
Baldwin's fault he's super rich and should definitely take care of this person's family
like yeah but I mean they're right now there's no charges that have been filed but it's just
the it's just a human being normal thing to do yeah
accidentally murder someone of course of course but i'm just wondering if there's going to be
any legal repercussions like for sure manslaughter there has to be i don't know if it's manslaughter
manslaughter is wow yeah would be the the term because he did kill someone such a strange story
yeah i i really don't know what to make of it.
I read it last night.
I get all of my news from, like, these, like, weird Instagram accounts
that just, like, show headlines, and then I have to do my own research
because it's like, is it really true?
How hard, yeah.
I think I got it from Hood Ratchet TV, I think was my news source.
Yeah.
And I was like, what the fuck?
Is that true?
Yeah.
Yeah. No, when I was like, what the fuck? Is that true? Yeah. Yeah.
No, when I saw it,
I was shocked.
It sounds like a,
it's like a plot
for a bad movie.
Yeah.
Or a good movie.
Like this movie.
It actually sounds like
an Adam Sandler movie.
Did you see
the terrible movie?
He made a,
first of all,
Adam Sandler,
unbelievable.
Okay.
Until he signed
this deal with Netflix.
What was it?
All of these movies,
Murder on the Boat
or whatever.
I like that one.
It's getting a sequel. Oh my God that one. It's getting a sequel.
Oh my God.
Of course it's getting a sequel.
He has a minimum amount
of movies he needs to make
for his 300 million.
They're going to sequel
all of these shitty movies.
Do you see
Who Be Halloween?
No, I'm not watching
any of it.
I'm not watching them.
I think you should watch
Who Be Halloween.
Is it as good as Mr. Deeds?
No, I wouldn't say that.
Is it as good as Big Daddy? No, I wouldn't say that. Is it as good as Billy Madison? No. Is it as good as Mr. Deeds? No, I wouldn't say that. Is it as good as Big Daddy?
No, I wouldn't say that. Is it as good as Billy Madison? No. Is it as good as Happy Gilmore? No.
Good. I never said it was good. Oh, you were saying it was bad. I was saying it was like
shocking. Oh, shockingly bad. But it wasn't that, it wasn't good. He's so bad. It wasn't good,
but it wasn't like Jack and Jill bad.
I also want to clarify, I would do the same thing if I was him.
300 million for free?
No, and like the movies that he's even putting on Netflix are like so successful.
They're successful because it's Netflix.
Yeah, no, but.
Netflix can make anything it wants successful with the right name.
And Adam Sandler, you will watch his movie.
But even by Netflix's standards, it's successful.
Like, they do that with a lot of things and a lot of people,
but still, people have to, you know, select to watch it.
Yeah, I guess.
But what I was saying was,
it sounds like the beginning of a murder on a boat movie
by Adam Sandler.
Yeah.
You know?
It's like that, like, and then the whole movie is just like about
what was with the gun.
Yeah. What was with the gun, though. You want to make it? No that like and then the whole movie is just like about what was with the gun yeah what was with the gun though you want to make it no i just want the i just want answers i just want to be you know um a reader and i want i hope that we get some sort of understanding as
to how something like this could happen because it's i don't think we will so upsetting by the
way in case uh listeners or watchers see me go like this,
it's just because I'm stretching my planters.
It's rather sore, so don't be alarmed if you see me doing this strange stretch from time to time.
Oh, you can't even see it. Okay, good.
Yeah, on your solo shot. And what are your planters, if I may?
Planter fasciitis is a bone that goes under the midsection of the bottom of
the foot and the heel. And it's just fucking sore. I don't know. I self-diagnosed myself,
but that stretch really helps. Yeah, that is my medical explanation of plantar fasciitis.
Okay, thank you for that.
You learn something new every day.
Calf stretches are good for it, too.
Okay.
You get a good, like, calf board.
But, yeah.
Sweet.
Thank you.
Of course.
Are you ready for our next story?
Sure.
The human remains found in Florida Park do belong to Brian Laundrie, the FBI confirms.
The FBI has confirmed that the human remains found at North Port Florida Park on Wednesday belong to 23-year-old Brian Laundrie, the FBI confirms. The FBI has confirmed that the human remains found at a North Port, Florida park on Wednesday
belong to 23-year-old Brian Laundrie.
Medical examiners used a comparison of dental records to positively identify the remains.
The FBI's Denver division wrote in a press release on Thursday.
So I guess that's that on that.
It actually makes the story a little bit sadder because now it seems like...
Actually, no, it's not sadder.
I'm just saying he clearly went there, probably killed himself in the same place where he either killed his girlfriend or...
No, these are totally different places.
Oh, they are?
Yeah.
See, I need the facts.
She was found in a whole other state.
Got it.
Okay.
It's no longer sad. And then he went home to Florida. I understand. And then he was found in a whole other state. Got it. Okay. It's no longer safe.
And then he went home to Florida.
I understand.
And then he was found in a park near Florida.
Got it.
So the guy just loves parks.
I guess so.
I guess parks, you know, that is a good point.
That's all.
I was just thinking, like, maybe, like, he brought her to the park.
Something happened in the park.
Then he went back to the park.
No, no, no.
Different, no.
Different park.
And also, I do feel like he was at a national park with her.
This, to me, is giving me like, you know, playground vibes.
Even though it's not.
But like, you know, like a smaller local park.
No, I understand.
Not on the national level.
No, no, local park.
Even though that's just a feeling.
Mm-hmm.
North, yeah.
It's park with a lowercase p.
I understand.
You understand?
Of course I do.
So I think it's a little different.
Yeah, like a's park with a lowercase p. I understand. You understand? Of course I do. So I think it's like a local park.
Yeah.
I have a great name if like the, if like CNBC wants to do, it wouldn't be CNBC.
Who would make like a documentary about this?
Hulu.
What network?
Hulu?
Anyone?
Know what it's called?
Brian's Dirty Laundry.
That's pretty good, right?
That's, I, right? That's
I can't.
I can't. I don't know. That's a great name.
Here's the thing. Sometimes with these stories,
like, you know, the
most obvious answer is
the simplest answer is the answer.
And so, like,
part of me just wants to be like, okay, so case closed
and he probably, you know, allegedly
probably did kill Gabby and now he's dead too.
So I guess that's that on that.
But there's still something that just like rings suspicious about all this.
But maybe that's just like our nature to like want there to be, you know, a twist like in movies.
But this isn't a movie.
I mean, when people are found dead in water and parks, it's weird.
Yeah.
It's not like a it's
not normal life they write movies about weird ass things like this the the remains that were
like sampled were his dental remains like even though this is really far-fetched like he could
have pulled out some teeth left you know or nah they probably got a whole thing, like a. Could have taken out his whole jaw.
No, I don't think he did that.
I don't know.
I just like, but I get it.
I don't want to, you know, gravitate towards like making this like a movie and, you know,
it's disrespectful to like the whole situation.
So.
I understand.
I hope.
Okay.
You know.
I hope that justice will be served.
It can't be.
I know.
There's no justice.
No.
It's bizarre.
It is.
It's just a weird story.
It is.
Back to back weird stories.
Yes.
But we're going to get into our next story a little bit of not news that's much better,
but a little bit.
And I just want to let you know it's
brought to you by one of us is lying which is peacock's new show five students walk into
detention and only four walk out alive follow the story based on the number one new york times
bestseller one of us is lying now a new peacock original on the first day of school yeltset
bronwyn baseball star cooper cheerleader addy, and drug dealing Nate all land themselves in detention with notorious gossip blogger Simon.
When one of them doesn't make it out alive, everyone becomes a suspect, each with their own secrets and motives.
This juicy teen drama takes unexpected new twists as we find out who's hiding what in this can't miss new series.
With romance, betrayal, secrecy, and more, One of us is lying is the murder mystery of the season.
So don't miss one of us is lying streaming now only on Peacock.
Go to Peacock TV.com to get started.
Doesn't that sound like a great show?
I love a JTD,
a JTD,
a juicy teen drama.
Oh,
what's better?
I mean,
after Dale,
by the way,
the show that just never should have ended.
Afterdale.
Yes.
We need to bring back Afterdale because there are still three people out there who would love to watch.
Yeah, and I'm sure that those three are incredibly important.
Yeah, and they feel alone.
They feel deserted.
We need to bring back Afterdale for them.
Is Riverdale still running?
Yeah, it is.
The new season just came out.
We could have been stars by now with Afterdale. I'm just saying. Big stars. Could have
been picked up. Hulu. Hulu. Our next story. Queen Elizabeth spends the night in the hospital for
tests after canceling her trip. The queen spent the night in the hospital for tests after canceling
official duties. Royal doctors sent the 95-year-old sovereign to be seen by specialists in London on
Wednesday afternoon. Her majesty was discharged with Buckingham Palace saying she was in good royal doctors sent the 95-year-old sovereign to be seen by specialists in London on Wednesday
afternoon. Her Majesty was discharged with Buckingham Palace saying she was in good spirits
after preliminary investigations during her visit to the hospital. It was believed her medical team
acted out of caution to have her admitted on Wednesday and the overnight stay, her first in
a hospital in eight years, was for practical. Yesterday, it was understood that Her Majesty was back at her desk at Windsor Castle.
So, obviously, you'd never want to see a headline that the Queen is in the hospital.
No.
And for us Queen-y files, like, this is just, it's worrisome.
It's also just like, how much does it suck to be the Queen that you can't even go to
the hospital without it being news?
Yeah.
Like, you know?
Yeah.
I get why it's news.
I'm just saying, like, you leave, like, imagine you go to the hospital, somebody writes it up.
That stinks.
Yeah.
But the only thing is, the only difference between myself and the queen is that she has, like, so many resources at her disposal in her own home i was thinking
the same thing that it does sort of raise alarms yes when she has to go to the hospital for
something i i totally understand and i agree i was just saying like even if it is very juicy
it's just like yeah no but just people are worried about her people are worried about her
i was gonna say exactly what you just said which is that she obviously has an in-home doctor.
Yeah.
So you would only go to the hospital if you needed something checked that they couldn't check there.
Perhaps it's...
Like a machine that's just, you know, not something that you...
Yeah, I'm trying to think like what that could be.
Neurology related?
Perhaps. Maybe something with like, I don't know, we don't you. Yeah, I'm trying to think like what that could be. Neurology related. Perhaps.
Maybe something with like, I don't know.
We don't have to guess her disease.
We don't have.
Nobody.
We don't need to guess her disease.
We don't need to guess what happened.
I just I'm glad to hear that she's doing OK.
I hope she's doing well.
You know, prayers up for the queen.
Prayers up for the queen.
I love her.
Yeah, I mean, she's great.
She's cool.
Yeah, she is.
So thinking of you, Queenie, take some time. for the queen i love her yeah i mean she's great she's great she's cool yeah she is so
thinking of you queenie take some time r and r just what the doctor ordered yes maybe a visit
to sandringham i think she needs some fresh air yep that's the prescription maybe uh she should
watch a tjd she should watch a juicy teen drama how about jtd that'll help her in her hospital
state one of us is lying on Peacock.
That's what the queen should be watching.
It should.
I do wonder what she binge watches.
The Crown?
Probably.
By the way, if she watches The Crown, she probably loves it.
It really doesn't rip her.
No, it doesn't rip her.
It rips the people around her, and that is why, first of all, Gary Gennetti.
Love him.
Genius.
The show, like, I get it. Like, why are you making fun of a six-year-old, but like...
That's the prince.
What did I say?
We're talking about the crown.
Oh, I've never seen the crown.
Oh, no, the prince rips Queen.
It does?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, the prince rips everyone, really.
Yeah, but it mostly rips the people around her.
I've never seen the crown.
No, but also...
I only watch satires.
You've never seen the crown?
No, but I've seen Downton Abbey.'ve never seen The Crown? No. But I've seen
Downton Abbey. Isn't it the same thing?
Um, it's similar
but you should watch The Crown. Is it good?
It's really good. So I'll tell you
I've probably seen half an episode of The Crown.
Claudia likes to do this where we start
a show together and then I have to go to work
and then she finishes it. We know all about it.
We all agree with her that she should keep watching.
No, I get it, but I have zero opportunity to watch a full show
because I'm never going to watch a show without her.
I don't want to finish my day
and then sit in the other room and watch TV alone.
I want to sit with her and watch TV.
So we have to pick a show together.
That's why I miss the old days of weekly nightly releases.
Weekly at night releases.
We're having such a great time with
impeachment because we binged it together on a sunday and now episodes air every tuesday at eight
so we huddle together light a candle order a little grand szechuan watch impeachment that's
beautiful it is i'm sorry that it doesn't happen more often for you. That's okay. Do you know that when you guys, oh, I guess it's only Claudia.
I was going to say, when she orders Seamless, it comes up that Jackie and Claudia have ordered Seamless.
And it texts my phone.
So no matter where I am, I know when you guys are ordering food.
Or I guess it's her only.
Yeah.
But your name's on my Seamless.
That's so funny.
That's like, but I'm not getting food.
Were you using it in ordering? No, not that I'm aware of. That's so funny. Mm-hmm. That's like, but I'm not getting the food. Were you using it and ordering?
No, not that I'm aware of.
That's really random.
Sounds like you've hacked My Seamless.
I have not.
Wow.
I have not.
Okay, ready for our next story?
Of course.
Some happy couple news.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is engaged to her boyfriend Luis Ruelas.
She shared photos with People magazine
and they're so cute and fabulous.
Oh, beautiful.
She said he popped the question in Greece
incorporating sparklers, candles, roses, violinists,
and fireworks into his proposal.
That's pretty lavish.
The pictures are really cute.
I'm really happy for Teresa. Obviously you you know, the journey that she's been on. Yes. And she's been dating Luis
for probably over a year now, but we still never even, we didn't see him on last season of Real
Housewives of New Jersey. We heard about him and then he showed up at the reunion. So I'm assuming
he'll be much more involved in this upcoming season and we can get a sense of like how their
relationship is, you know, because we don't really know them together but she seems really happy and I'm glad that she's you know go found love. I like the Real Housewives
of New Jersey. Yeah. They're all very nice ladies. They really are. Actually I met uh
Melissa Gorga for the first time at a spritz party. I know. And she was incredibly lovely
incredibly nice. I've met Margaret Josephson her husband several times. Lovely. Amazing. I know. And she was incredibly lovely, incredibly nice. I've met Margaret Josephson,
her husband, several times. Lovely. Amazing. I've never met Teresa, but I'm sure she's lovely too.
It's just funny. Like they're so nice. And like on the show, they're made to be like these crazy
people. And it's like, they're just nice people. No, they are just nice people. And I do think,
you know, the cameras go up and it's a job. Totally. And I get why.
Yeah, me too.
I totally do.
Like anything that's like in real life you would just like brush off your shoulder, you
need to address and rehash.
And then the next time we see each other, are we over it?
No.
Let's talk about it again.
And you have to just like bring the action.
Yeah.
That's like a, it just had will I am go through my body.
Bring the action.
As I said that.
When I walk in the club.
That was so weird.
It was like him in my head.
Bring the action as I said that was so weird it was like him in my head bring the action um but uh
yeah like if people aren't drinking you gotta just like start ripping shots like you gotta
you gotta bring the action yeah you do have to so I get it but yeah they're they're super nice
yeah so we're happy for Teresa yeah happy for Teresa I wonder if she'll get a spin-off of
her wedding Bravo used to do that a lot especially especially for like the OGs. You know, Tamara had one, Kim Zolciak, Bethany. I feel like they'll
definitely do it for anyone that will let them. Well, Teresa would definitely let them. So then
I think that they'll do it. You know what I mean? Like, I think that it's amazing content for them.
Just not everybody wants their wedding day completely kerfuffled with cameras.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I think Teresa definitely would.
She's been on TV for like 10 years.
I think that would be a no-brainer for her.
I just wonder if there's enough interest
like from the viewers
because I do think that's waning.
I don't know how those specials perform.
Interesting.
Because there's been a while since we've had one.
I have to imagine it's for a reason.
Well, maybe they don't have to draw it out for like four episodes.
Just give us like a one episode, Teresa gets married.
Yeah, like it's turning into like even when Cynthia Bailey got married,
it was like five minutes in a Real Housewives of Atlanta episode.
But that's also because I don't think they could have cameras in
because it was like a COVID wedding.
But it was a big wedding.
Interesting.
Yeah. We shall see. Interesting. Yeah.
We shall see.
We shall see.
And we're happy for Teresa.
And that's just some exciting news.
I guess Real Housewives of New Jersey will be premiering soon.
I mean, the Real Housewives have really been in the news this week because of that book.
You probably haven't heard about it.
There's a new book that just dropped.
It's called Not All Diamonds and Rosé.
And it's like an oral history of the Real Housewives.
And it's by like Andy Cohen books.
So it's, you know, Bravo endorsed.
And all the women were out promoting it.
I think the premiere, the launch party was in the city the other night.
And so there's just like every day there's new headlines about like things that are coming out of the book.
And I'm not going to lie.
It is pushing me towards reconsidering reading it I still haven't decided to read it but I'm
more interested than I once was so Claudia loves every book written by Andy Cohen so if it's
written by him it's not it's just endorsed by him oh interesting yeah very different both decided
we weren't gonna read it but they're doing a good job on the press. I'm considering it. I'm considering it.
Yeah. So we shall see. But if the Real Housewives of New York asked you to be on the show as a Real
Housewife, what would you say? Probably not. Really? Yeah. I thought you were going to say
that, but I'm fairly certain you would say yes. I would consider it.
You know, I'd be a fool not to.
But when it came down to it, I just couldn't see.
I don't see it happening.
But I would consider it.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Cool.
I don't know.
You just got to put things out in the air if you want them to happen.
Yes.
Putting it out there.
If you want it to happen.
I think you do.
I don't know.
I like this show.
I'm good with this.
And also, like, how would I do this show if...
Easily.
And then they would also promote the show on Bravo.
They'd literally be back there filming this.
Yeah.
The thing is, I don't think this is going to be something I have to struggle with anytime soon.
I don't think they're asking.
We shall see.
And that's okay with me.
I understand.

Our fifth and final story, and, you know, we absolutely must serenade because…
I can't do it again, though.
No, but could you give us a different version?
Maybe I had seen a request for a Euphigenia version.
That's singing in Euphigenia?
I don't know if I could.
If anyone could.
We'll see, something will happen.
I don't know what's gonna happen, though.
Do do do do.
Wait, no, first.
What?
It's the final story.
Do do do do.
Do do do do do.
Do do do do. Do do do do do do do. story. I couldn't possibly. No, I can't. I started too high. Yufu Janai has left the chat. Yeah,
she's left. She's left. Maybe Monday, but no,
I can't today. Okay. I can't. You can think about for Monday what you want to do for your final,
final story. I think it's like, I'm even thinking how I could do that. It's,
oh, Euphigenia, dear. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Pretty good.
That was pretty decent.
You've hit your eye on the ones and twos.
Request the voice for the next one on Monday.
Okay.
Whoever, whatever they pick.
That's what you'll do.
That's what I'll do.
It's hard to do.
What are their options?
I think it needs to be more of like, the first one was Cantorial, which I can do.
I can also do opera.
Okay.
So Cantorial, opera.
I can also do opera, rock, punk.
Like pick a genre.
Okay.
We'll try and do that.
Okay, cool.
That's exciting.
So we have that to look forward to on Monday, even though, you know, it will be Monday.
We'll have that.
We'll have a great Monday.
Our fifth and final story is actually a really
cute piece of news. Zach Galifianakis says that his sons don't know he's an actor. He said my
kids think I'm a librarian. How old are they by the way? Four and seven. Cute. He may have two
Emmy wins and plenty of hit films but to his children he's simply their dad and possibly a
librarian. The comedian told entertainment tonight
at the premiere of his new movie ron's gone wrong that his kids don't know he's a popular actor
he said my kids think i'm a librarian somewhere they don't even know they think i'm a nice they
think i'm an assistant librarian somewhere he said his children aren't familiar with one of his most
favorite famous works the hangover when asked by entertainment tonight if his children aren't familiar with one of his most famous works, The Hangover.
When asked by Entertainment Tonight if his children have seen the movie, he said they shall never know of it.
He added, I'll just deny it.
I'll say I don't know what you're talking about.
I had nothing to do with that movie.
While he'll eventually get to the point of showing his children the film, he's avoiding the tricky situation for the time being.
The actor explained, you want to protect their innocence as much as possible.
They're just children.
It's so crazy I guess like when you look at the hangover through the lens of a four-year-old you're like that's inappropriate but when I think of inappropriate movies like
the hangover is just a movie to me totally but at four and at seven you can't see that movie
you also can't see your dad like doing drugs in that movie. Like that's the, first of all, Zach Galifianakis,
love him. So funny. So cute. Between Two Ferns. Have you seen it? It's just like he is not only
underappreciated, but I think he's underappreciated because he really, per that story, seems to really
not want to be in the limelight unless he's doing something. Yeah. He's all about the craft. Yeah.
All about the craft. He is hysterical. I love
that his kids think that he's a librarian.
And, yeah,
that's a great story. Yeah, and
that's a great, like, fake
job to share with your kids that you are.
And also that might encourage them to read more.
And, you know, I think that's
beautiful. It's beautiful.
Maybe I'll tell my kids I'm a librarian.
They'll never know about the toast. It's beautiful. Yeah. It's beautiful. Maybe I'll tell my kids I'm a librarian. Yeah.
They'll never know about the toast.
Yeah, interesting.
I'm sure that they will
know about the toast.
I'm sure that they will.
They could watch the toast
from any age.
That's the best part
about this show.
It is.
I mean, we do use
a little bit of profanity
like curse words.
Yeah, profanity
is not the problem.
I remember I was
five years old.
I had a sleepover
at some kid's house.
Okay.
Mom decided to show us The Terminator. I had nightmares sleepover at some kid's house okay mom decided to show us
the Terminator I had nightmares for weeks is that a scary movie it wasn't even scary it's just like
rated r and then it's just like it was a little scary it was a little scary for me I really was
like a big just like spready cat my mom never let me even see pg13 movies. Yeah. I just like was a big PG guy.
Yeah.
I really stuck to what the, like, I was watching G, then I was watching PG, then I turned 13,
you know, like, and then I.
Me too.
Like, those rules are in place for a reason.
I think they're really good markers of age.
But did you ever, I used to think that if I watched a rated R movie, I'd go to jail.
Like, that somebody would come to my house, find me watching a rated R movie, and throw me in prison.
No, the idea of watching a rated R movie like at home.
At home?
It was like not going to happen.
But I remember like, you know, when I was in high school before I turned 17.
Because you have to be 17 to watch rated R, right?
No, that's called NC-17.
That's before you can watch porn.
No, I know.
I know there's NC-17. So at 16, before you can watch porn. No, I know. I know there's NC-17.
So it's 16 before you started watching porn.
What's rated R?
Rated R, I think, is...
Rated R age.
18?
Because when I would go to the movies...
16.
No, 16?
Rated R age limit.
Because when I would go to the movies and to see a rated R movie...
Oh, I forgot.
You had to show your ID.
You had to show your student ID.
17.
Okay, thank you.
I'm not a fucking pervert.
Did you ever go to the Lowe's Orpheum to watch a movie?
86th Street.
And what?
There's a lot of...
86th and 3rd.
Yeah, that's the big one.
Yeah, with the old man.
Yes.
Oh my God.
He was taking no prisoners.
No, he literally would put your ID through a scantron like you're at a club to go into
the rated R movie.
And it was like, you're're 17 so it's just your
student ID? Yeah. What are you supposed to do?
He literally would
he was not messing around. He was not
messing around. He was not gonna. If you
were not 17 like you were not seeing that movie.
No. No you were not. Even if you were
sometimes you'd be turned away. Yeah.
Because he thought it was fake. How do you say that a student
ID is fake? I mean it's
probably extremely easy to fake. It's full blown plastic though. Like how do you prove that it student ID is fake? I mean, it's probably extremely easy to fake.
It's full-blown plastic, though.
Yeah.
Like, how do you prove that it's fake or not fake?
Yeah, no, like...
There's no tech in the student ID.
I'm sure at that location he was used to seeing the same schools, you know, whatever schools are in the neighborhood.
But you could also just say, you know, I'm coming...
I'm from out of town.
I'm from out of town.
I can't see this film.
Here's my Kansas student ID.
Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Kid from Kansas can't come to the Orpheum? Not if that guy's my Kansas student ID. What's wrong with that? Kid from Kansas can't come to
the Orpheum? Not if that guy's working there. No. I'm positive he's still there also. I just feel
like he's going to be there for like 200 years. I actually just passed that movie theater the other
day and I was thinking about all those times. Isn't it crazy to think how lit those two blocks
were? Like now it's just decrepit and like times have changed
but wait no it was like from Pinkberry up from Pinkberry well that's on second yeah yeah well
Pinkberry up was great but 86th Street 86th second and third was one movie theater 86th 87th and Lex
was another movie theater there was the Best Buy there was a GameStop. Oh, well, you're like a boy,
so those things were interesting to you.
Oh, that area was just wonderful.
I was more there for the Pinkberry.
Interesting.
I mean, Pinkberry was...
Still, I eat Pinkberry all the time.
Yeah, I haven't had it in a while,
but it still hits.
It definitely had a bit of a fall from grace.
I don't know why, though.
It's a great place.
Well, I don't think it should have ever been
as hyped up as it was. Fair. And so,'s that sustainable like remember crumbs yeah but it was big fucking
yeah but i was never into it cupcakes i can't get excited about like to me crumbs is a better
idea than pinkberry i guess they're out of business yeah well they went too too fit too
hard too hard in the paint.
Too hard, too fast.
One place, though, that Pinkberry reminds me of that also went a little too hard, too fast,
but I think is creme de la creme, Jamba Juice.
You ever have Jamba Juice?
I've never had Jamba Juice.
Oh, amazing, amazing smoothies.
Really?
Yeah, and they just went a little, I think, too hard, too fast.
You know, you see people are coming in, loving your stuff, start raising money, dumping stores.
The stores don't do well.
All of a sudden, you're in one airport in San Francisco.
Yeah.
Interesting.
I would never realize.
A cautionary tale.
A cautionary tale.
That's for sure.
Cool.
So that's just a little business lesson for you guys today.
What were we talking about before?
Movies?
I don't know.
Oh, Will Sack, Galifianakis, and Hangover being inappropriate for children.
Yeah, which it is.
Yeah.
Which it is.
But you know what's not?
The library.
True.
True.
Go to the library.
That's what you guys should do this weekend.
Pick out a book.
Become a redhead.
Have you been to the New York Public Library?
I don't think so.
Interesting.
Have you?
Well, you grew up. I've been to the New York Public Library.
I haven't been recently.
But I will say, I, first of all, love the idea of a library.
And I think the New York Public Library is a wonderful place.
I don't really know why people need to sit in Starbucks and do work.
Like, I'm trying to sit there and eat an egg sandwich
and drink a cup of coffee. Are you just talking about
Starbucks all over?
In general, stop
taking tables to do work
when you're there to drink coffee and eat
food. Okay. Go to the library.
You want to do work? There's a library.
That's a good point. That's all I'm trying to say.
I guarantee if you go to the library right now,
it's really not that packed.
Does the library have free Wi-Fi?
Of course.
I made that up.
I don't work for the library.
Yeah.
But I have to assume that the library doesn't charge you for Wi-Fi.
Yeah.
If they want to stay competitive.
You could also probably take somebody's hotspot.
Yeah.
You ever do that?
No, I don't.
I've never taken somebody's hotspot.
Okay, cool.
Same.
That's, you know, there's only so much to go around.
No, it's weird. Cool. And plus, you somebody's hot spot. Okay, cool. That's, you know, there's only so much to go around. No, that's weird.
Cool.
And plus, you usually need a password.
Yeah.
Right?
I don't know.
We're rambling.
Yeah, you're rambling.
Am I?
Yeah.
This is who I am.
Yeah, cool.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so that is our show.
But before we let you guys go, Ben and I do want to do a toast content of the weekend.
Oh, yes.
So that we have something to really pour over on Monday.
And, you know, we can get our take, see if we land on the same side of the coin or what.
The thing is, we don't know what it's going to be yet.
We've been thinking, I mean, we have two very different ideas of what this concept is going to look like.
For me, I'm thinking like a topical, you know, movie of the moment.
Let's discuss. Ben wants to watch a classic I just want you to watch a movie that I don't think that you've
seen that I think is funny okay but you were suggesting Miss Doubtfire I didn't know if you'd
seen it I have seen it 1,000 times have you seen Hook Hook? Hook? What's that? Where Robin Williams...
Oh, like Peter Pan?
We don't need to watch it now, though.
Probably not.
I don't think that...
No, I don't think I've seen that.
At least not any time recently.
We could watch Hook, but it's not his best.
It's not his best.
Okay, so what else do you propose?
I don't know.
I'm looking on the streaming services now.
The Great British Baking Show you ever watch?
I started it and I didn't like the vibe.
The vibe is everything.
I just, I don't know.
The vibe is why we watch.
It just seemed weird.
It was weird.
Okay.
I didn't like it.
I mean, to each their own.
Do you ever watch any Marvel movies?
No.
Like any superhero movies? Have you seen any?
I've seen Aquaman.
Have you seen the Batman trilogy?
No, and I'm not going to.
What is with you and Claudia with being anti-superhero movies?
Should we watch a new season of Riverdale?
We can. Should we watch the new James Bond?
Want to go to the theater?
Oh, we could do that I'm good though
okay
what about
so we could or we couldn't
we could
we could
I'm good
we could
but I don't want to
okay
what about
shit what was I just gonna say
I was just on my thing
oh what about
One of Us is Lying
on Peacock
oh is that the show that
that we just talked about
yeah but
a juicy teen drama no I wanna watch a juicy teen drama but what are we gonna do watch one episode I'm not one of us is lying on Peacock. Oh, is that the show that... That we just talked about. Yeah, but... A Juicy Teen Drama?
No, I want to watch
a Juicy Teen Drama,
but what are we going to do?
Watch one episode?
I'm not...
I don't have ten hours
this weekend.
Oh, so...
I have two hours.
Okay, so you want
like a documentary.
I want a movie,
a documentary.
Yeah, a movie or documentary.
There's a new documentary
about Brittany Murphy
that's out.
Oh, sure.
On HBO Max.
Is it getting good reviews?
Like, if I'm going to
watch a documentary,
I want to make sure it's good. I think there's a lot to unpack. Especially because I... I think that's it. I really... I On HBO Max. Is it getting good reviews? Like, if I'm going to watch a documentary, I want to make sure it's good.
I think there's a lot to unpack.
Especially because I really love Brittany Murphy.
Okay.
I think that that's the one because it's topical,
and I think there's a lot of information there that we don't know.
Okay.
And it's celebrity-oriented, which is what this show is.
So we are watching the Brittany Murphy documentary on HBO Max.
Please watch along with us, and we will all share our thoughts on Monday.
We all have a lot to say.
So I will now let you go to your golf expedition.
