Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Thursday. We are so close to the end of the week. Give it up for yourselves. A big round of applause for you for making it. Good job, everybody. And while we're giving big rounds of applause.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Yes. Yes. Claudia Astray is a New York Times bestselling author. Number fucking 12, bitch. Number fucking 12. Oh, my God. And you know what? I just found out.
Starting point is 00:00:23 Someone DM me. Tom Brady is number 12. I might have to switch my Super Bowl bets because it's it's k God. And you know what? I just found out someone DM me. Tom Brady is number 12. I might have to switch my Super Bowl bets because it's kismet, you know? A hundred percent. So yes, yesterday I got the call. Five o'clock on the dot. I knew I was finding out yesterday and I knew it was a conference call at five o'clock with like the publishers and my agents and stuff.
Starting point is 00:00:40 And I literally sat on my couch from one o'clock to five o'clock just staring at my computer. I'm like, I wonder if it's time for the conference call yet. And Ben came home early and I recorded my reaction because I'm like, honestly, I didn't really expect to make it because New York Times bestsellers list, of course, you have to sell books, but it's not only about selling books. It's about more prestige and like. Yeah, it's curated. Yeah, there are other lists that are strictly based on amount of books you sold.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Like USA Today, I was very, very grateful to have made the 22nd spot in all books. Like it was a huge, it was a huge deal. And that's like, you know what? I feel really proud of that because like that's people who picked up my book. But the New York Times, it's a weird, they don't tell you how to make it. It's a combination of people have to have bought your book like a significant amount. A lot of people. A lot of people.
Starting point is 00:01:20 But also it's a prestige thing. Like it's also they chose you you know and so of course because that reason alone I thought I wasn't going to get it because like you know I'm like a canceled queen and nobody wants to be associated with me so I knew that like I had sold enough books to make it but I didn't think that they would have like hand selected me to be a part of the list me me and so that's why I didn't really talk about it on the toast like I just I didn't want to put it out there because like I knew like it really wasn't a possibility just given, you know, my, my background. And then they called me and they were like, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:01:52 And I literally like screamed from the top of my lungs. I couldn't believe it. I literally cried all night. I had some drinks too. That's why. But I just like, couldn't believe that. Like, I feel like my claim to fame is just like being a disgraced queen. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:04 And this is extremely graceful it's it's the New York Times like it's so fucking graceful and I don't know it just felt like this full circle moment where like I just like have doubted myself so much in the last year and I always feel like I'm just like being left behind because I'm like this canceled disgraced queen and to just and I don't even know if they meant to, but to be honored by the New York Times is so not real. Like, it's so crazy. And I'm so grateful, of course, to the New York Times. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:32 But to the toasters who like showed up, showed out. Like, my numbers were irrefutable. They couldn't deny the toasters. They couldn't deny it. Like, I was irrefutably a best-selling author. Yes. That is the power of the toast. And so to everyone who bought the book and connected with the book
Starting point is 00:02:43 or didn't even read it and put it on their shelves, like, that works for me because a sale is a sale. And thank you so much. Like we did it. And now like to my grave. Now to the moon. I'm bestselling author. A hundred percent.
Starting point is 00:02:54 And there's a few people I would love to thank, honestly. Of course, the toasters, first and foremost, for their unwavering support and support. And second to my friends and family, you know, who were so supportive and they were like, you're going to get it, you're going to get it. And I was like, no, I'm really not. But like, you will have to pick me up, you know, when I get the call that I didn't get it. Also, a very special thanks to Kelty Knight, who I really confided in over the last few months over this process, because nobody has more information on the New York Times best sellers list than Kelty Knight. She knows who made it, who didn't make it, how many books they sold.
Starting point is 00:03:22 So she was constantly, you know, keeping me in the me in the loop telling me you know what I needed to hear and a great source of support for me love to hear that and then finally I would like to thank myself for doing it and writing a book and you know what yeah yeah yeah and never taking no for an answer. Literally refusal of taking no for an answer. That's the moral of the story. The moral of the story here is that it's never too late to like start over and rebuild. And you know, and I say this in the book, like a healthy dose of delusion is so important when curating your dreams. A hundred percent. That's beautiful, Claudia.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Because this is a delusional thing that happened. Like it's not real. But it wouldn't have been possible without your healthy dose of delusion. That's what I'm saying. So we are so proud of you here at The Toast. Thank you. We're so proud that we can say, like, one of the hosts of The Morning Toast is a New York Times bestselling author.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Like, that just gives the show a level of prestige that I think we really needed. And I think we're kind of like an award-winning show now. I think you could say that. We're a bestselling show. Sure. Yeah. Okay. I mean mean we're already winning awards right like peabody's nobel peace prizes it's honestly exhausting having to fly over the world to just like accept them but we'll do it because we love it yeah and i do like the nobel peace prize the ones that we've gotten because they come with a million dollar prize and they do yeah the nobel peace prize you get paid for can you look that up
Starting point is 00:04:44 i never heard that i'm pretty sure it would make sense you get paid for can you look that up I never heard that I'm pretty sure it would make sense you get a million dollars when you win a Nobel Peace Prize that would make sense but I've never heard that yeah no I remember hearing it and being like damn I should have went to grad school you know 100% 100% 100% I'm pretty sure we're gonna double check but I'm pretty sure that you win money when you win a Nobel Peace Prize. I don't know. Well, that's next.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I'll have to win one to find out. Keep dreaming. Keep dreaming. You never know what can happen. You never know. You earned $1 million. Million dollars and an 18-carat gold medal. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:17 You learn something new every day. I had no idea. I know. I remember when I found that out. I'm like, that's so crazy. Like, I never thought. I thought it was literally just a plaque. Yeah, and the prestige and the honor.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Of course. And like the press. Yes, of course. Which is worth its weight. You just can't buy press that good. Trust me, I've tried. Well, we're so proud of you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:05:35 It's a great day. Obviously, you were so busy last night, as was I. So we didn't watch Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Yeah. So there will be no recap. But I'm sure everyone might understand. Yeah, no. I was just like
Starting point is 00:05:45 I was I knew last night I was going to be drinking very heavily either as a celebration or a commiseration yes and I'm so glad it was the former because I had such a great time I just like was with three of my friends from high school and we played code names and we ate burgers I had like a feisty vibes it was so good like a kosher feast wow yum speaking of feisty vibes, I cooked dinner at, I saw that you ate dinner at four o'clock. I ate dinner at four 30. I started cooking at three o'clock cause I like, didn't really know what to do with myself. And we were recording redheads later. And like we were recording redheads at dinnertime. So I usually don't eat before. And then I'm so hungry. And then I overeat after. So I was like, I should just eat like a whole meal before I cooked chicken parm from the half-baked harvest
Starting point is 00:06:22 cookbook. And it was so fucking delicious. The best thing I ever cooked. You would have loved it. You used real chicken? I used real chicken because I had like some meats in the freezer from when I hosted Shabbat. I know how much you love meats in your freezer. Love. No, you, Claudia, like you would have loved it. It was delicious. Wow. I mean, I did see, I did see it and it looked good except I would have used regular spaghetti instead of zucchini noodles. So it was half spaghetti half zoodles. Oh. And half spaghetti, half zoodles. Oh. And I've never made zoodles before, but I got the spiralizer and I made them myself.
Starting point is 00:06:51 And I thought it tasted so good. And that way you're eating like half healthy, but still tastes like spaghetti. Right. No, that's interesting. I would try that. I wouldn't have given it to you still. No, you would have just given me the rest of the plain pasta. Yes, but it was just so good.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And I just felt like I really treated myself. Are you pleased with the half-baked harvest cookbook as being the one of your choice and is it better than Ina's okay I think that my palate is closer to Tegan's than it is to Ina's is what I've learned and I do like the recipes that I've made so far I just don't think there's that many recipes I'm going to be making from the book because they're very involved and like not and I think just above my level pay grade and like when you are kosher or like have a really specific like dietary restriction list there's only so many things you can make in a cookbook like you can't make anything with shrimp and I'm not gonna be cooking like steaks in my house right so there's limited options but you should get a kosher cookbook too yes I do have one but we were saying like with a kosher cookbook then they don't put meat and milk together and
Starting point is 00:07:42 then oh we've literally had this conversation so I'm just I feel really pleased because I had some bad cooking experiences but I'm feeling like really good about myself and I just want to say the cast iron skillet is my new favorite thing were you the one who called me yesterday and said do you have a cast iron skillet I did because I think that you need one I think everybody needs one yeah because it like cooks everything so deliciously and unfortunately a cast-iron skillet now reminds me of Emily in Paris you know when he like gives her the skillet yeah but it makes everything like really delicious and it's like a one pan dish which I realized I love an OPD an OPD I feel that for sure less dishes also speaking of my night last night we recorded the redheads and it was so great and we had just gotten the news about New York Times bestseller
Starting point is 00:08:22 so we're all reacting and feeling really excited honestly I had like FOMO that you guys would do an episode without me like after we had like the best night ever last month and then it's like you just go back to like leaving me out you know it wasn't the same I will say okay that makes me feel good so if you want to read this book and then you can read the next one too maybe I'll have you back on you know what I think I might just have trouble I've never been a part of a book club before but I'm just such an inconsistent reader like I read a whole book this like in in 12 hours yes like two days ago and before that I hadn't read since Christmas break yeah so it's just like I get an itch and I scratch really fucking hard and then I never scratch again but that's what's so great about being in a book club and I feel this way about the redheads it's like sometimes I go on hiatus from reading but
Starting point is 00:09:03 doing the redheads always brings me back at least once a month to reading one book that's true I'm always really grateful for it like if I hadn't read the redheads book this week I probably wouldn't have read again for a while because I just like wasn't really feeling it but now I'm like ready to read again right so it always like resets you every month and I think that's what's great about being in a book club any book club I agree but the redheads is the best one is on another level and also at the end of the episode we made such an exciting announcement about the fact that we are dropping merch oh yes in about two weeks stay tuned for all of the details it's literally right over there it's so sick it's so sickening you guys I think even non-redheads will have to
Starting point is 00:09:39 purchase that's me like hello also not only we're dropping redheads merch but just look out in the next couple months like tmt merch is just look out in the next couple months like tmt merch is being fired out of all cylinders the most sickening designs you've ever fucking seen in your life no the ones that are there's a drop coming soon that the redheads is a part of jackie can i that no no because i because i think it's okay the sweatshirt version like needs the first thing that's seen but there's a drop coming soon that the redheads is a part of that is sickening the merch down. It's sickening the fucking warehouse down.
Starting point is 00:10:07 The warehouse is sick. Yeah, the warehouse has COVID. The warehouse is infirm. We have to get the warehouse to the hospital. Take its temperature. Rectally. We need help. Stay tuned for that.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I think it's around like February 17th, but details coming soon. Also, a reminder, tomorrow's our last show of the week, and we're also going to be recapping our Toast Movie of the Week. So if you missed earlier in the week, we are bringing back Toast Movie of the Week for the month of February in honor of Black History Month, highlighting black stories, black histories,
Starting point is 00:10:35 black history movies that highlight the black community. This week's movie is The Butler, and we're going to be recapping it tomorrow, so don't forget to do that, your homework. And we're going to be signing another movie on Monday.'t forget to do that your homework and we're going to be assigning another movie on Monday. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:48 So excited. Yeah we've gotten really good recommendations and we've heard people and I think a lot of people have raised valid points like not every book or movie or TV show
Starting point is 00:10:55 that you watch like has to be about you know the hardest times in the black history but also celebrate like the culture and the community and I felt that so we're going to diversify all the movies all the choices I'm really excited but
Starting point is 00:11:09 don't forget to watch that it's streaming on Netflix so if you have Netflix you can watch it for free can't wait okay I guess without further ado it's time you know I mean I mean let me think like as a New York Times best-selling author what do you want to do you know your time I feel like the author in me sorry the New York Times best-selling author in me would just want us to get to work like you know because I'm obviously like a really hard worker right so I think we should do it you think so I do okay without further ado it is time for the best five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast and very appropriately today's episode is brought to you by
Starting point is 00:11:40 bruce I wish we had bruce when we were the morning breath like it just would have been a hundred percent oh also sorry I'm pausing the ad the fact that I made the New York Times bestsellers list is a miracle but the fact that I was on top of a book called breathe or breath breath breath is just poetic justice and you know Hashem he works in mysterious ways but I saw that Hashem thank you much. God is a literal comedian. Call me. Comedy queen. Comedy queen.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Okay, today's episode is brought to you by Bruch, the best electric toothbrush on the market you guys needed in your life. Jackie and I talk about it almost every day, even when it's not sponsored. It works super, super well. Like, I went to the dentist, and you went to the dentist, and someone else told me that she went to the dentist after getting a Bruch, and the dentist was like, wow, your brushing has gotten so much better. And they were like, what kind of brush is it? And she's like, doc, it's a bruce. It's works really, really well. And it's so reasonably priced because so many of these, um, electric toothbrushes that are on the
Starting point is 00:12:35 market or it costs over $200, which is crazy, like crazy, but bruce is very reasonably priced and you save money because it's a sustainable option. You don't have to buy a new one every six months. And they have a subscription service now that can save you money on refilling your replaceable head. So it's just really fabulous. It's everything of the sort. Claudia and I both have the pink Bruch, but I was actually just on the Bruch website, like looking at the other colors. Do they have new seasonal colors?
Starting point is 00:12:58 The colors are so sickening. And it's like I already have my Bruch and I love it. But I just am like really tingling for that blue Bruch. I think we got to get a new one. Maybe get it for Zach yeah that's true so the brush it's bruce excuse me itself has six unique modes to customize your brushing experience and the battery life lasts four weeks the magnetic charging stand um comes in the compact travel case so if you're traveling you actually don't need to bring your charger unless you're charging for traveling for more than four weeks in which case.

Their sleek design has a modern, aesthetically pleasing design and comes in trend-driven seasonal colors and looks great on your bathroom counter.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Very true. It's not bulky. It's elegant. It literally looks like it was designed at SpaceX with Elon Musk. 100%. Elon definitely, allegedly. He's an investor for sure.

That's 15% off using promo code TOAST at b-r-u-u-s-h dot com. Love it. Okay, first story, an update to last week's news madison lacroix says she has quote never been physical unquote with alex rodriguez okay so in the last 24 hours danny baird like went on a podcast and spilled it all spilled the beans saying that the ex mlb player is a rod and
Starting point is 00:14:21 now madison has broken her silence on the alleged relationship exclusively telling page six that she and the ex-MLB star have never met in person and only spoke on the phone so she clarified that they've quote spoken on the phone that's the truth she said adding that they've never been physical never had any kind of anything just an acquaintance which is what we got from the reunion and then so a rep for A-Rod was like, these rumors are bogus. He's never met her. And it's like, yeah, no, she never said. That is true.
Starting point is 00:14:49 They're both telling the truth, but he was definitely reaching out. They've never met. And even if all, you know, they were never physical, like an engaged man having a phone relationship, even if it was like platonic business, whatever, a phone relationship with like a reality star who's 20 years younger than your fiance. Like it's so inappropriate on so many levels. Having a phone relationship with like a like a reality star who's 20 years
Starting point is 00:15:05 younger than your fiance like it's so inappropriate on so many levels relationship with anyone like and it's clear that it's not like he just watched southern charm and was taken to madison and he's not a big fan of the show like this is apparently as we found out in last week like this is what a-rod does yeah and you know like i am always the first person to like come down on danny baird but like honestly everyone knew it already so it's like not that big of a deal that she spilled the beans. Yeah. And she's obviously like so clearly still mad at Madison for the whole gonorrhea thing. So I think in a lot of ways this was like her final act of revenge.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah. Also I think everybody sort of knew it was A-Rod. But no one wanted to say it because that could be libelous. Defamatory. Like allegedly this said. And even all these Instagram accounts are just saying it because apparently you can just do that on Instagram yeah you can just share anonymous rumors yeah no for real so I am glad that Dani just like put it yeah but also um oh shit what I was gonna say I was gonna say Dani Madison yeah it's defamatory uh-huh yeah yeah yeah unclear it wasn't that interesting because
Starting point is 00:16:08 the story is like kind of getting boring it is but it's always good to have clarification it's also the craziest thing that like this little reality show is like making the sports world no it's like JLo's fiance JLo's fiance what I was going to say was that they did call him multiple times on the reunion and married ex-MLB player which is not entirely true so that's why a lot of people were like it it's probably a-rod but they said married yeah that was confusing but he's engaged like it's i think at this point it's just semantics yeah to me like they're married yeah but then now acts like this like what is j-lo going to do about this you know this is what we we say time and time
Starting point is 00:16:45 again it's like when women like JLo and Beyonce like even they their men are like fucking around on them like how are we expected how is there any hope for the rest of us it's just it's so disappointing it's so disappointing I just how can she stand by him now like clearly it's so embarrassing it's so embarrassing like this is what he does there are now all these other things and it's like what's, I don't get it. Like why? Yeah. And like for so long, I shipped these two so hard.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Like I built the biggest mega yacht in the Caribbean for these two. Like I thought they were the perfect couple in so many ways. Like we literally couldn't decide who's more rich. They're on the same level. Fame wise, money wise. They both are like so proud of their cultures. Like I just thought this was the best couple maybe in the history of Hollywood like I really felt that way but he has really sullied sullied the Lopez name he has Chesley sullied Sullenberger it's disgusting this relationship I do find it so interesting that Madison LaCroix
Starting point is 00:17:41 like even though she's on like a small Bravo reality show like keeps finding her way into the phones of like major celebrities and athletes and I would just love to know like her secrets and like if these two like these are two now like really messy public like things going on will this hinder her future possible relationships with other athletes I don't know and I also have to wonder I do think like it's just kind of coincidental that she's like was talking to the two most famous athletes because the Jay Cutler thing was like a spite thing. Like if it wasn't for Austin and Craig talking to Kristen, like she never would have gotten in communication with Jay.
Starting point is 00:18:14 And it's clear that I don't know. And she was never really speaking like, like she was never bragging about it. Like Andy asked her about it on Watched Happens Live and she's like, that's private. Yeah. But with A-Rod, it's like, does he watch the show and sought her out or did he just see her instagram it's so weird i literally don't know i would just love to know like the origins of their story like how they came to come in contact with one another yeah yeah i agree i swear you guys i'm not picking my nose on the youtube today my nostrils are so itchy interesting does that mean something you know when like when your armpits
Starting point is 00:18:41 are itchy like someone's talking shit about you like if your palms are itchy like you're coming into money oh shit i wish my palms were itchy it's like your nostits are itchy like someone's talking shit about you? Like if your palms are itchy like you're coming into money. Oh, shit. I wish my palms were itchy. It's like your nostrils are itchy. You're going to be a New York Times bestseller, I think. Oh, too bad. I guess I'll have to scratch away. Scratch, scratch.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Okay, next story. Look at Little Dew. Why is he so dirty? Have you seen Outside, Jackie? Oh, that's true. That's true. Have I ever mentioned on the show what New York looks like after it snows? No, you haven't.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And also, what happened at Dennis' funeral? Stop. That's so mean. You guys are always being mean to me. You and Theo. Always getting up on me. Oh, my God. He was actually a torture fest in the bed last night.
Starting point is 00:19:16 After we did that deer toaster yesterday, I think I jinxed myself because I'm like, we have a perfect situation. I sleep on one side. Theo's in the middle. And we all fit perfectly oh my god like hashem laughing in my face he was torture fest i literally was lying on my stomach he stepped on my back circled and laid directly on my back in like a little swirly ball bruno has done that to me and bruno's so light theo weighs almost 20 pounds. Yeah, he weighs more than that. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up. Okay. Are you ready for our next story? He weighs almost 30 pounds. No, he weighs like 21. I mean, honestly, like we've all gained a little in the queue. Listen, shut the fuck up. Like, Theo's in such perfect health. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I didn't say anything negative about him. I think he's a beautiful boy. Theo, are you hearing this? Yeah, he's like, thank you, auntie. I don't think that's what he's saying. Are you ready for our next story? I guess. Because Morgan Wallen's label suspends him.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Indefinitely. As country radio drops his songs after he used a racial slur. Morgan Wallen is being suspended from his label and his songs are being pulled from hundreds of radio stations and CMT nationwide. As iHeartMedia and Cumulus Media, the two biggest radio station groups in the U.S., along with CMT, pulled his music from their airwaves after Wallen was captured using the N-word in a video obtained by TMZ on Tuesday. His record label is, quote, indefinitely suspending him. His record label, Big Loud, put out a statement saying in the wake of recent events,
Starting point is 00:20:43 Big Loud Records has made the decision to suspend Morgan Wallen's recording contract indefinitely. Republic Records fully supports Big Loud's decision and agreed such behavior will not be tolerated. I mean it's it's definitely I think the right move and I'm and honestly like I think that I saw first because I was thinking I'm like I wonder if there's going to be any like career repercussions for him like obviously like the public is very mad at him. But will there be like actual business repercussions? And the first, and I have to commend CMT, they were the first I saw. And then once they said that they were going to pull all of his performances, other people then followed suit. And like, nobody wants to be the first one, you know? Oh, I didn't see that CMT
Starting point is 00:21:20 had been the first. I think the first thing that I saw was his record label. Right, because that was the biggest news. But it happened after, like, a few other, like, smaller organizations did it. And the thing is, is, like, I was thinking about this morning. It's so disappointing on so many levels, but mostly because that fake ass apology, like, written to TMZ. Like, from a publicist, clearly. Yeah, like, it was just so insincere when, like, something like this requires, like, a really genuine apology
Starting point is 00:21:45 to the black community. Like it's, and it's not even my apology to accept or not accept, but I know a shitty apology when I see it. So like that's what makes the whole situation even more disappointing. Like there appears to be no effort from him to like give a shit. Yeah. At least not yet. And the video came out and then he had like this statement written.
Starting point is 00:22:01 There was no like time of reflection or anything, which it was a strange way to go about it. I'm sure we'll be hearing from him again at some point. I mean, even just like, not even for career wise, but like for his own soul, like you just owe people an apology. And like it can't, it doesn't feel good to like have all that like pent up. Like a hundred percent. It's this whole story is so disappointing. And yesterday, like I was really down about it. like pent up like 100%. It's this whole story is so disappointing.
Starting point is 00:22:26 And yesterday, like I was really down about it. But then I decided to read the Time magazine, TJ Osborne article where he comes out and his him and his brother are both interviewed. And I literally like got choked the fuck up reading this article. It was so beautiful. Of course, like because his story is incredible, but also because the support from his brother.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And he was like, you know, and they're like their country, but they're not mainstream country they're actually like more country than like CMA awards like they're more redneck and like that just makes it like so much bigger of a deal and he was like you know when we're playing shows in Chicago I don't think anyone's gonna like you know chant me off the stage but like if we're doing county fairs like in the middle of nowhere like you really never know and like that's what remains to be seen for them and the brother was like no like when he told me I was so happy and when he told me he wanted to come out publicly I didn't doubt it for a second and I was so supportive of him and like if all of this went
Starting point is 00:23:17 away but he got to live his best life like I would be so happy and it was literally like I was crying listen reading this article it was was so sweet. And I stand TJ Osborne and I have the perfect man for him. So if someone from his camp could get in contact with me. Do you? Yeah. Oh, that's so exciting. Well, because I immediately thought I'm like, this guy's tall and handsome and successful, like got to set him up with TBG. And then literally late last night, TBG DM'd me his Instagram story and was like, who is this? Like, got it. And I'm like, Brian, get with him.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Get on your ships, everyone. So I don't know if he's dating anyone because he's been keeping his, you know, love life very private. But if he wants a shit-off, TJ, come to Aunt Claudia. I've got you. TJXTPG. Sickening, right? So sickening. I've got my shipbuilding materials. I know. I'm ready to set sail. I know. TJXTPG. Sickening, right? So sickening.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I've got my shipbuilding materials. I know. And we're ready to set sail. I know. That's so stunning. I know. Okay, well, our next story is related because Jojo Siwa says her super encouraging girlfriend inspired her to come out.
Starting point is 00:24:16 She's a girlfriend? Yes. On Wednesday night, the YouTuber chatted with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, where she gushed about her super encouraging sweetheart who prompted her to share her truth with her followers. Can I say one thing really quickly? Not about this story, just about Jimmy Fallon, where she gushed about her super encouraging sweetheart who prompted her to share her truth with her followers. Can I say one thing really quickly? Like, not about this story, just about Jimmy Fallon. So, Jimmy Fallon obviously had JoJo Siwa on, and Olivia Rodrigo, I think tonight or last
Starting point is 00:24:34 night, is going on Fallon, which is, like, such a big deal. And it does feel very weird to have this, like, 40-year-old man, like, be involved in, like, the Sabrina Carpenter of it all. And I just feel like so many young people are like making so much news recently like there needs to be a show on television for young people that's all I was gonna say. That's a really good point. Like Jimmy Fallon talking to Jojo Siwa like what's going on? Just one at least. Just one literally one kid's like like evening show. Yeah. Or one late night show hosted by someone like under 30. But like the kids go to sleep early that's what's tough. No I'm not
Starting point is 00:25:03 talking about 11 year olds like. No no no but like if it's geared for like Jojo Siwa fans like her fans are asleep okay I'm just saying like there needs to be some so maybe not late night but I agree where it's like it's not really weird that like Jimmy Fallon is talking to Olivia Rodrigo right like a 17 year old talking to like an over 40 man I want to say almost 50 like yeah I feel you okay Jojo told Jimmy Fallon that she felt emboldened to share the image while filming with a group of LGBTQ plus Tik Tokers called pride house, assuming the crowd, the collaboration would quote out her anyway.
Starting point is 00:25:33 She said, I don't really mind because it is true. I do have the most amazing, wonderful, perfect, most beautiful girlfriend in the whole world. She said one day I was on FaceTime with my girlfriend and I was like, I kind of just want to post this picture on my Instagram story.
Starting point is 00:25:44 She explained, she said she was super encouraging. She was like, do it. And I was like, I kind of just want to post this picture on my Instagram story, she explained. She said she was super encouraging. She was like, do it. And I was like, all right. And I did it. And then I went back to FaceTiming with her. Thankfully, fans have been overwhelmingly supportive. But Siwa admitted it was a really big risk.
Starting point is 00:25:56 This is really sweet what she said. And it reminds me of the TJ article. She said, quote, if I lost everything that I've created because of being myself and because of loving who I want to love, I don't want it. If I I can't love who I want to love it's one of the most important things to me that's so sweet I'm literally gonna cry oh my god she's such a role model like honestly we make fun of Jojo but I'm done we don't no no because she's like a little magic cigarette Jojo and her magic cigarettes but Jojo and her magic cigarettes but like honestly in this house we fucking stan Jojo Siwa we stan oh that was so sweet so she's such a role model like kids these
Starting point is 00:26:32 days are so lucky to have her and what a good head she has on her shoulders to be able to like see that it's like all of this I'm sure she has so much wealth and opportunities and excitement and these things that going on in her career and it's like if she can't be who she wants to be in love who she wants to love she doesn't want it. Then what's the point? Send it back. Oh my god I love her so much like she's a queen oh my god. Yeah. Like you know what if you had told me like this year Jojo Siwa was going to become an LGBTQ plus icon I like never would have believed you but like here we are like she's literally changing the world. Her impact? Huge. Huge. Okay next story her impact huge huge okay next story is it the next story brought to you by imperfect foods it is coincidence you'll see why soon oh well

Starting point is 00:28:24 Check it out. Lamar Odom and Aaron Carter will be fighting in a celebrity boxing match this summer. Retired NBA star Lamar Odom and former pop star Aaron Carter are set to face off in a celebrity boxing match this summer, according to a report. Celebrity boxing CEO Damon Feldman told TMZ Sports that the three-round exhibition will take place at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 12th. Now the story just gets sadder and sadder. Atlantic City? They can't even get Vegas? Like... Odom and Carter have already started training in the gym for the big event, according to the outlet. Odom, who played 14 seasons with the NBA, stands tall at 6'10", while Aaron Carter is 6'1". Oh my god, this is not even like... This isn't even like a competition.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Yeah, no, Lamar Odom's obviously going to win. Despite the height difference. Carter says he is excited to face Odom in the ring. Carter's told TMZ. This is a crazy matchup. It's like David and Goliath. I'm really looking forward to this fight. I mean,
Starting point is 00:29:17 this is some loser on loser fighting. Like it's so weird and so lame. And honestly, I feel sad for Lamar Odom that he's like gotten to this place in his career where this is something he's actually considering doing like he didn't consider like he signed up like he signed the contract whereas like Aaron Carter just like has like spiraled to this place and it like makes sense but like Lamar Odom was like six man of the year he was with the Kardashians like and and so much happened in his life that like you know got him to
Starting point is 00:29:43 a bad place and I'm really happy that he's, like, back in fighting shape and healthy. Literally. But, like, I'm just sad that he's not, like, living in Calabasas. And, like, that he's not too good for this. Because in my mind, he is. Yeah, I agree. Also, like, the fact that this fight seems very unfair. But you never know.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Yeah, right. Like, maybe we'll be watching. Also, it's in June, which seems really far away. Yeah, maybe Aaron Carter can grow a little bit. Oh, for imagine he, like, bulks up like crazy. You you know I'm sure that's what they're both doing right now I cannot wait for Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul like that's gonna be the best night of my life I think I'm gonna have like a fight gathering at my home when is it I don't know speaking of big sporting events the Super Bowl is very soon so get your bets in yeah get your picks in I'm still not sure you're
Starting point is 00:30:22 still not sure I'm now being drawn to number 12. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe that was the sign that you needed. Maybe. I just like, I really do love rooting for an underdog. And like, I think the obvious choice is the Brady's. So I'm going to stick with my choice. And I really, I feel very supported by the obvious choice.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Oh, it's the Brady's. Yeah. And I feel very supported by the people of Kansas City. Like, you know, they sold out my show. Yeah. The people in Tampa did too, but it was a much smaller venue. So, I don't know. Judging by that alone.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Yeah. Yeah. And I just like, I really respect how much people from Kansas City, like, respect their hometown. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, they have so much hometown pride. It's so admirable. I agree.
Starting point is 00:31:01 I fucking hate this place. No, I agree. I think it's going gonna be a great game yeah can't wait to find out what happens on monday morning still have no plans ben is going to a party and he's like it's all guys like i can ask if i can bring you i'm like that is so insulting like can i bring my wife like what like it's so embarrassing 100 maybe i should have the girls over make chicken parm yeah no like maybe we could do something like more fun to make Ben jealous. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:27 For sure. How rude is that? I want to use my cast iron skillet to make spinach artichoke dip. Oh, that's a great idea. And then will you come over? Ben will be jealous of that. And then also we'll have all the pups over. He'll be jealous of that.
Starting point is 00:31:39 That. For sure. Okay. Fifth and final story hurts. It really hurts, but I'm still holding out hope. Kim Kardashian has little contact with Kanye West. A source says that she, quote, has a divorce plan in place. There have been like a few.
Starting point is 00:31:52 And he moved over 500 pairs of shoes out of the closet. He moved over 500 pairs of shoes out of the closet. And she showed off her new skim showroom in her house, which looks a lot like the closet that Kanye used when David Letterman was at their house. But the argument could also be made that they have his and hers closets they literally mirrored and that they look exactly the same yeah that didn't convince me of anything but I do think like it's like people like move closets all the time like things happen yeah the rich people are like constantly shifting their clothing yeah like maybe like she took over his and then he got a different wing like that's just
Starting point is 00:32:19 no I think I can explain my way out of it but I just feel like right news isn't slowing down about this right you could talk your way out of it, but I don't know if it's necessarily like the truth. I think that we might, you know, have to reconcile what the truth is. Yeah, and I'm, if that is what comes to be, I will be able to reconcile it, but until then I'm allowed to have hope.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I know you're allowed to have doubts, like of the story. Yeah, and like until Kim tells me, like I don't I don't need to act. I don't need to feel anything. That's completely fine. Thank you. Thank you for respecting my boundaries. So what was the story? That he's like moved out and they're really. But we also know that he's been living in Cody for over a year. Right. So like. But that she has a divorce plan in place and that they're no longer doing marriage counseling. They're living separate lives. Who wrote this? They have no contact.
Starting point is 00:33:06 People magazine. It's not that unreliable, you know. Mm-hmm. That's upsetting. Yeah. So. So some of us cameo stands maybe have to start swallowing the truth. Maybe have to start repurposing our ship material for a new boat
Starting point is 00:33:25 that's okay hurts hurts well i can't even think about it that's gonna just be the craziest thing but also i just feel like the way that this news is coming out it's like so delayed and staggered it's by the time it finally like drops everyone will be kind of like immune to it i think maybe that was like the point yeah i think that's that's called strategy. Like in the PR world. Oh interesting. It's a good strategy. Yeah. Those are the stories.
Starting point is 00:33:50 And I definitely. I feel as though you needed to know them. I feel as though you definitely needed to know them. It's been a big busy week. And also of course you must know that. Claudia Astray is a New York Times bestselling author. You must. We also have.
