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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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. The subscription program helps you
never forget your brush head again
because Bruce will ship you new replacement heads
every six months so you're never stuck
using a worn down brush head.
Their sleek design has a modern,
aesthetically pleasing design
and comes in trend-driven seasonal colors
and looks great on your bathroom counter.
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.
I don't know that for fact, but I just have a feeling.
Yeah.
Get 15% off your Bruch toothbrush kit and refill plan when you use promo code TOAST at bruch.com.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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

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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
And I definitely.
I feel as though you needed to know them.
I feel as though you definitely needed to know them.
