Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toes. Happy Thursday! Jackie and I are coming to you podcast only from the Music City Center, Nashville, Tennessee. Yes, we are. We're so excited to be in Nashville. We've only been here for 12 hours and already it's just so full of life. It is. It's full of promise. Full of fresh air, full of country music, full of life it is it's full of promise full of fresh air full of country music full of reasonable restaurants with big seating areas with banquets with banquets and no lines no lines and just like lovely people lots of handsome men yeah wow i didn't know you were like out cruising i'm merely an observer observer yeah um and there's a few single gals in our group so i'm just constantly being a good friend looking out out for the others. You're such a giver. That is what people say about me. That is what they say about

you. Well, we have a really fun show for you today. We also have a really fun day planned, but like I love podcasting on vacation because we just come at you with renewed energy and spirit. It's definitely different energy and spirit. I feel like the fresh air I've received in the last 12 hours will fill me up for years to come. Yes. And speaking of being filled up, like I am so filled up with my passions. I would be RDH if I didn't let you know that the new episode of the redheads is out now. I edited it on the plane yesterday and I was laughing in my seat. It was really funny because the book we chose snitch chose is like so snitchy and it was good enough. But when you have to start like, you know, talking about it as if it's Homer, it gets gets really hard so check out the redheads book club

you don't have to have read this book to listen to the episode if you just want to hear some girls having a good time and also speaking of books I was too reading a snitch's choice on the plane I had started it on my last trip and I wasn't like taken by it but I did like 50% of it on the plane and it was really sweet it's called swear on this life it's Renee Carlino I read the redheads before we were strangers read uh Renee Carlino Renee Carlino is a fixture yeah this one is good it's like it's just hard when you like really don't like the main character oh it's so hard and she obviously just has like a lot of trauma which is why she's like kind of mean to everyone but it's like girl be nice to your boyfriend yeah I'm sure she'll learn or break up with him like stop streaming him along you know yeah no i think snatcher she'll

learn her lesson hopefully um other than that what else is new we got spray tans so we're literally like so truly this time beautiful stunning and smart we are two oompa loompas sitting on a bunk bed in the middle of nashville recording an award-winning podcast and that is truly all you can ask from your podcast hosts. Yeah. Yeah, I guess we are Oompa Loompas. I was trying to like, I haven't had a spray tan in 18 months, literally. And I forgot how good it feels.

Like, shave off those three pounds. The confidence. Get a spray tan. Yeah. When you can't tone it, tan it. Is that a saying? Yeah. That's pretty cool.

And I think that's going to be when people are like, what is your favorite piece of life advice? Like, and everyone's like, you know, be yourself. Everyone else is taken. Mine is, when you can't tone it, tan it. My favorite is rise and grind and listen to your body. That's good too. Also, man plan, God lacht.

Oh, that's not advice. That's just a cautionary. No, that's like words of wisdom. Yeah. Words of wisdom. W-O-W. Like the wise Russian proverb I shared at dinner last night yeah jackie was jackie's just kind of becoming this like russian queen proverbial czar she's becoming a russian czar with like her

roman off itch and just like she's really elevated her her interests in the last year and if you're looking for any good proverbs jackie has a bank of them in her mind that she can share with you when applicable well at dinner last night we were just talking about how so many celebrities like just this price of fame it's like if you were a certain celebrity and you reach that level of fame like you would retire to Florida like take right money and run if you had enough money to live forever you don't need to stay in the constant like in the real torture of of fame but the fame is so addicting. We were talking about Demi Lovato's documentary. That's how it started. Right.

And so it reminded me, because on the book I started this, on the plane I started this book, The Romanov Empress, and it opens with a quote that's a Russian proverb that says, fame and misfortune live in the same garden. And I liked it, but I do really feel like it should have just been fame and fortune grow in the same garden. I just think that. Maybe it did. Maybe it was. I'll have to get my Kindle. Okay't don't don't underestimate the Russian proverb no I wouldn't because I don't think they would make such an

obvious mistake because you don't live in a garden you grow in a garden okay I'll get my kindle later I highlighted it okay it's a kindle highlight um we've got a great show actually lots of celeb news like just weirdly going on so I think we should dive into it we did not watch the Real Hot Toys of New Jersey last night because we just didn't we were en route we were en route to Nashville and then we had like margaritas and it was just like not gonna work I know and I didn't even I don't I think there is a tv in in my room there's not one in mine it's it's not being turned on no so we've got a great show otherwise we have a lot of pipeline news to talk about we are getting into the pipeline because you guys we are at the center of the pipeline crisis and if you don't know what it is that's fine i didn't know

what it was either and jackie literally texted me before our trip i was about to pick her up from the airport and she said do you think the colonial is that what it's called the colonial pipeline the colonial pipeline um is going to be going to affect our trip and i was like lol what is that and are you kidding she's like no i'm dead fucking serious and she was right it is affecting our trip we'll tell you all about it when we discuss we'll tell you all about it in today's oil and gas news yes but without further ado to do to do where are you he's not here i'm so sad miss do miss brew miss the boys here are the past five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast and that is true jacks i don't want to oh

we forgot to oh that! That's usually you. That is me. We have to make up for it. Today's episode is brought to you by Bowlin Branch.

photographs of him at an la gay spa and threatened to out him, which prompted his decision to publicly reveal his orientation last month, according to Variety. He said, I at one point during my rock bottom and spiral was getting blackmailed. Nobody knows I was blackmailed. He told Variety that he got the threat in an email after going to the club, which he claims he visited just to look. He said, I never should have been there the anonymous emailers threat to use naked pics to out him terrified colton and in a fit of panic he forwarded the message to his publicist he said i knew that out of anybody in my world my publicist wasn't going to ruin me the pr flack eventually sat underwood down for a frank discussion about his sexual orientation

so i mean this kind of reminds me of, um, in NICU tutorials when somebody had blackmailed her into telling the world that she was trans. Um, and I just can't believe that there are actual people out there who would do that. Like, that is moral depra, depravity at its finest. Like, that is truly evil. Like, people like that are going to hell. Like, it it's so evil but I really am shocked that like the industry is really standing by Colton when there was really a lot of outrage when he publicly came out like and now he's this article he's on the cover of Variety yeah and it says controversial confession so I just and he's getting this Netflix show and I'm just like really

shocked that like there's all this kind of push around him when the people really seem to like be on Cassie's side yeah and um I haven't read the article but I've seen a lot of press on it and like it doesn't it feels like he talks a lot about a lot of things but not a lot about Cassie which is really what people want to hear yeah the other headline from the article is that he says that he experimented with men before The Bachelor he said I'll say this I was the virgin bachelor but i did experiment with men prior to being on the bachelorette he said when i say hookups not sex i want to make that very clear that i did not have sex with a man prior to that he also revealed that he joined the dating app grinder under an alias in 2016 and 2017 though he's currently single now

and it's not on the app so was he catfishing like was he using a picture of him i'm sure he wasn't using a picture of him notable i guess in some ways that's catfishing i don't know if he ever met up with anyone right maybe he just wanted to see what was out there yeah i i think that that's something that people would do yeah you know i'm just i'm sure people in relationships do it too. I actually know someone who did it. Yeah. Um, yeah, no, this is like a very complex story. Yeah. I hear what you're saying. It feels like when he came out, the people said like, what about Cassie? There's, there has been a lot of outrage, but the media is saying we're going full stop on Colton. Right.

Like he's getting his own show. He's on the cover of magazines, which is like, honestly, for a bachelor contestant to be on the cover of variety which is like the biggest trade in in hollywood it's like literally on every person's desk who works in hollywood it's a huge deal yeah it's honestly a bigger deal than being on the cover of people like it is 100 it's a really reputable magazine he is being thoroughly endorsed by the industry all systems ago we're giving him all we got and i just find that interesting yeah and i also just would wonder like who does who's on his team because it's all about like you know who do you manager publicist like i'm sure i don't think the editor-in-chief of

variety is like a huge fan of colton on the back right so he clearly has a team of very skilled skilled and high profile people working for him yeah and now with the Netflix show I just think it's gonna really catapult him and again I think I'm not the only person like struggling with how to make sense of this because on the one hand it's a huge step forward for the franchise and just like the world in general and it's so cool to have like this really kind of figure of masculinity come out as gay, but it's much more layered as most things are. And there's a huge conversation that's like not really happening. Yeah, no, it's not, it's not happening. I feel like people were trying to have it, but I also feel like, you know, the headlines

decide what conversations we're going to have. And the headlines don't want to talk about Cassie, like at all. No, they're leaving her in the dust. But Bachelor Nation does. Like Bachelor Nation stands with Cassie. Yeah. Yeah. And that's that. Also, Cassie's a new boyfriend. I saw on Instagram. I saw that too. I didn't know that. Yeah.

He's a cutie. I'm really happy for her. She's just one of those people who now live permanently in my list of people I wish good things for. Oh, that's so sweet. It's been so long since there's been a new addition to the list. I know. And the list is so small. So small and ever-changing.

Okay. Are you ready for our next story? I am. It's some relatable hosting news from Oprah that is just like a crazy story. So Oprah Winfrey is revealing the one big mistake from a celebrity interview that still makes her cringe. Oprah went on Rob Lowe's Literally podcast on Wednesday where she revealed one question from a celebrity interview she conducted many years ago that still haunts her to this day. Oh my god like that's like when you do something when you're drunk and like it literally haunts you for the rest of your life. Yep her story was stirred by Rob mentioning he gets annoyed by the fact that current late night talk shows are so focused around the guests playing silly games and that he wishes they would go back to a time when a fascinating celebrity such as Burt Reynolds would just sit down and tell stories. Yeah.

Oprah replies oh burt reynolds oh gosh i have a burt reynolds story she prefaced it by saying her memory was in the category of flubs in the world oprah went on to explain the incident happened when she was much younger and interviewing sally field who not only shared the screen with burt in such projects as smoky and the bandit but also dated the late screen legend in real life for a number of years. My big mistake, I asked her, does Bert sleep with his toupee on? That is a shady fucking question.

The own mogul recalled to a stunned Rob. I even say now, I cringe to even think that I asked that question because I asked it because the producers are like, you have to ask, you have to ask, you have to ask. That's what everybody wants to know. She continued, and so I asked it, and she went cold on me. me she shut down and I could not get in again oh my god that's the worst you can tell there are so many classic like interview moments you can watch on youtube

when a celebrity just stops I mean there's that horrible interview with Megyn Kelly and Jane Fonda oh my god this reminded me of that too when Megyn Kelly and even though I don't like Megyn Kelly I did think that Jane Fonda was a little rude only because Jane Fonda was asked a question by Megyn Kelly, and even though I don't like Megyn Kelly, I did think that Jane Fonda was a little rude only because Jane Fonda was asked a question by Megyn about plastic surgery and how she's like so proud she doesn't hide her plastic surgery. So Megyn was just kind of feeding off of Jane's story. Jane talks about it all the time.

So it's like, but now you don't want to talk about it. It was hilarious to watch, but it was cringe. And there are a few interviews that like I will remember in time. I love when a celebrity walks off of an interview. When Kourtney Kardashian walked off of some Australian morning show and pretended she was frozen. Because they asked her about Kim after the robbery. And, like, they weren't talking about it yet.

Which I thought was actually, like, a really weird question. Yeah. And then also, Joan Rivers walked off of a CNN interview once. Where the interviewer was just being, like, a weenie. Like, look, Joan, you off of a CNN interview once, where the interviewer was just being like a weenie. Like, look, Joan, you don't want to offend people. And Joan was like, it's a joke. Like, it's a joke. They were just making, like, she was pressing her on Joan, like, making fun of women's dresses.

And Joan's philosophy was like, if you're making $25 million a movie, like, I'm allowed to make fun of your dress. And the interviewer was just being such a weenie. And Joan just got up and left. Good for her. She's like, I make people people laugh it's the best video i miss joan but but i i feel what you're saying i that's so funny that even oprah has one of those moments i feel like those moments are such a learning yes moment for people in the industry and now i'm trying to think back to like cringy questions i've asked and i don't think I've ever asked like an inappropriate question but we always laugh because so many times when we do interviews yes yes I just like

stumble no and then when it's your turn to come up with a question like you string together words that maybe don't actually equate to anything no no like I say it no no I say a statement it's like but what's the question so that's what I'm working on as an interviewer I'm working on that talking over the interviewing yeah that's a hard listening but you know what you don't become Oprah without moments like that no like you have to learn sometimes and now I'm sure she had an illustrious career where she never offended anyone again because she learned in such a real way no and you can't become perfect at your craft without making mistakes here and there but it's it does feel good to know like even Oprah messed up you know yeah no it does feel good to know, like, even Oprah messed up, you know? Yeah. No, it does feel good to know.

And also, Oprah's going on Rob Lowe's podcast. That's the other thing. Lots of podcasting news today because Harry's on, Prince Harry's on Armchair Expert. Yeah. And Oprah's on Rob Lowe's podcast. So I just think the real takeaway here is that we're in the correct industry. A hundred percent. I totally agree.

And that makes me feel good, you you know vacationing and podcasting. Podcasting never sleeps. Podcasting never sleeps. And you know what doesn't either? What? Today's sponsor Olive and June the best at home nail kit ever. So they have the Manny system. It is the answer to salon perfect nails at home.

Their polish lasts over seven days and it does not chip. With the Manny system each at home manicure comes out to just $2.

Files, they have this great little attachment that you put on the cap of the nail bottle that makes your hand really steady. So it's really good if you're not great at doing steady nails at home. And a lot of people think that they can't possibly do their nails

themselves. I've tried it and sometimes it looks like you literally had your five-year-old cousin do it for you. And salon manicures are really expensive and they always trip. So it's like, how do we make sense of both of those things? No, living in this past year, one of my greatest joys has been learning how to do my own nails. The Olive and June manicure little helper friend is so great, but also everything that comes in your Olive and June deliveryure little helper friend is so great but also everything that comes in your Olive and June delivery all of the tools like yes they're filers they have this like cuticle oil that's just a dream I use it every night before bed they have a nail polish remover that is so fucking fantastic you stick your finger in the pot you stick take your finger out gone it's

together interesting interesting still they're just being spotted together some more they're in montana they're obviously together like what like i you know what i i can't fathom that they're together i really really like i don't know what this is but this is why it makes no fucking sense to me that they would be together first of all she was just engaged in an extremely long-term relationship last week okay like that's not something that you just get over but i do think that they've been broken up for longer than they said like with that whole madison lacroix thing i think they've been like broken up since then okay fine second like this is the man who literally jilted at her at the altar like what are you doing i i unless they're making out like under the altar with wedding rings on

their fingers i'm not going to believe that these two are a couple well this would be like jennifer aniston getting back with brad pitt like after some man put you through so much 20 years later are you gonna take him back time does heal all wounds though and like maybe they're past it but matt damon went on gma and he was asked about it and he was like i don't know if they're together but like i'll be so happy if they are so like maybe they were a great couple who just never got like a true chance because he ran away with jennifer garner yeah but i thought that was a great relationship jennifer i think ben affleck is the problem yeah i think so too he's been in so many fantastic relationships and he just is on to the next one and he just can't make any of them work and so i just don't

think that this is going to be the answer to the jail to j-lo's questions no but as i stand on the side of j-lo i do think this is a great next step for her to move on. Like a rebound with an ex, like that's always fun after a long-term relationship. Then I think she'll, I just, I'm, I just can't get past the A-Rod of it all. I think that's where I'm stuck because I was so like getting my boating license to be the driver of their ship. Like I was so invested and I thought they were really like the best couple. So now everything else just seems trivial to me and I don't care. Yeah.'t care yeah I I divested from A-Rod like a long time ago so I feel prepared for the next ship that is coming in I just I this ship could literally run me over and I still

wouldn't see it yeah no I just like don't care and every time they're spotted it's like confirmation no no they are together confirmed like we know that no i think it's more likely they are like partnering on a new company or something then they are back in the sack maybe maybe like i just i don't understand how i don't understand who would do that i don't understand either but crazier things have happened and let me just say like if i'm so wrong which i probably am like i'm not unhappy about it like they're too successful attractive consenting adults consenting adults like like you know it throws it harks back to nostalgia i just like if a man left me at the altar i don't know if my pride could really ever get over that i think that would be that on that for me for me that would definitely be that on that but maybe for jlo it

would be this for this on this you know you know. She's a different woman than us. Everybody's different. Yeah. But she must have a lot of pride. No, not pride, humility to like get back. Some people would be too proud to get back with the person that left them at the altar. Yeah. But that might like relate to just feelings in general of like, you know, someone leaves you at the altar. I would imagine you're feeling insecure, but when you're JLo, you probably don't ever feel insecure because you're so fucking perfect. You're incapable of that feeling therefore you just kind of skip that step right so you just keep going it's like oh that's a man i almost married i didn't feel any sort of way whatever maybe we'll get married again no that's fair i think snitch just arrived at the house snitch go up one flight of stairs we're just podcasting with your suitcase

yeah your room is upstairs. The snitch Your room is with me next to the kitchen. The snitch has arrived. Love you. Love you, Sandler. The snitch has arrived. The party can truly begin. The party can truly begin. We were just wasting time until the snitch arrived. We gotta get her thoughts on Bennifer.

Actually, Margot is Gen Z, right? Big time. They don't care. Yeah. Oh, you know what we need to talk about, speaking of Gen Z? right? Big time. They don't care. Yeah. Oh, you know what we need to talk about, speaking of Gen Z? What? This word, choogy. Choogy! We've recently, because we're millennials, we've only recently discovered choogy.

Because Claudia did something choogy and someone called her out for it, I found out what this word means. Snitch is stomping upstairs like an elephant. By the way, I got called choogy on TikTok, and I've kind of been having an identity crisis ever since. And I think that it's one that's warranted. I think you're in a transitional time in your life. But I think I don't get enough credit for being born in 1994.

No, no, no. But saying things like that is extremely choogy. No, no, no. It's not. Let me just make my case. No, no, no. Let me just make my case, okay? Okay, okay.

I'll hear you out. Okay, yes. Literally, I think Gen Z starts in like 1996. So I'm only two years away, but I'm actually very emotionally immature, and I really spend a lot of time on TikTok. Therefore, I think I'm really like a Zillennial. Okay. Maybe we should start this show every morning by saying,

Good morning, Zillennials. The fact that we start our show Good Morning Millennials, we might as well say good morning, Chuggies. Chuggies. We're so embarrassing. From your fellow Ch good morning chuggies we're so embarrassing from your fellow chuggies no we are so embarrassing but the only thing about chuggie it's not necessarily just an age it's also the vibe of like basic starbucks fall yes let me let me put pull up the official urban dictionary.com definition of chuggie because a lot of people don't even know what it is yeah and where is urban dictionary and then i

think we should go through some things that you could do to be less choogy because like because it's really important to you to not be seen as choogy okay according to urban dictionary.com choogy is another way to describe aesthetics people experiences that are basic it was coined by now 23 year old white woman in 2013 while a student at Beverly Hills High School on whom the irony is apparently lost. Okay. According to the New York Times, choogy is pronounced choogy,

and it can be used to broadly to just... It can be used broadly to describe someone who is out of date or trying too hard. That is me. That's literally me. That's literally you. I haven't been irrelevant since I was canceled in 2018, and I'm just, like, desperately trying to trying to like be relevant and trying too hard i think we could turn it

around for you it's never too late like i don't think i'm chewy because i'm just like you're very stylish you're actually not basic at all so from an aesthetics point of view you are not chewy right if there was like a word for millennials who who are aging too quickly there i am by the, you know what? I just realized our trip, this is very choogy of us. Like we've literally, it is, right? Because like we've literally planned like a full-blown bachelorette party when we literally don't have a bride.

We're just like being choogy like millennials. All around Nashville. All around Nashville, like wearing boots and hats. Like we, we. Okay, stop. No. We have to unchugify this trip. Here are things that we

could do to look fabulous look fabulous no crossbody bags i said this a year ago but what about the prada ones and i got so much heat don't count that's not a no you don't mean crossbody you mean messenger i mean messenger jackie really got annihilated in the stylish teens group and i just want to say this is what i said the women of real housewives of new york were going to a party in the hampton at a socialite's house at a socialite's house they were wearing some like nice you know uh evening wear and crossbody bags well just leah someone else was wearing a ysl messenger bag not crossbody there's a difference other women were wearing like long strap bags with their maxi dresses that is that is a big fat no for me crossbody bags in general like if you're going to the airport if you're shopping like those product uh cross bodies that we love like those are like you wear with

athleisure no and those are there with a fucking dress those are very stylish now right but when you do wear the product bag and you're like last night you wore a dress and you unclipped your bag from the strap and i wore it as a handbag wore it as a purse and i stand by what i said so first of all we need to make sure there needs to be a check out the door no one's wearing a crossbody messenger okay but you're gonna have there's a lot of girls here you're gonna have to check every one of them yeah i will do it we have to unchugify this trip asap we need the bags to get smaller yeah we need smaller bags and we just need like i don't know everyone here is actually very stylish and cool so i'm not really worried about it we're not like a chuggy bunch but everyone here is actually very stylish and cool, so I'm not really worried about it.

We're not like a chuggy bunch, but I agree. The concept of this trip is very chuggy. Yeah, but I think we'll defy our chugginess. We have to defy the chuggy odds. Oh my god, I'm freaking out. But you know what? I also think there's something to be said for being chuggy and proud. You know, sometimes it's just like embrace who you are. Don't be a self-hating chuggy.

And if you're someone who, you know what, you are Starbucks yeah pumpkin spice latte and like those things make you happy embrace it i kind of agree with that too i don't i think i'm a self-hating chuggy but i don't really don't want to be a self-hating millennial because that's like who i am you think so yeah i like this word you said zillennial yeah it's i think i'm a zillennial are other people saying this word yes okay go with that i'm gonna say that so when we say good morning millennials you i say i just slip in the z slip in the z i think that's a good idea for the gen z years we met some gen z years at dinner last night some toasters some vanderbilt young toasters i never felt so old in my life oh really it didn't make you feel like one of the girls well

it did make me feel cool that like i assume they were freshmen they looked so young like freshmen in college like listen to the toast like at least we're not as irrelevant as we thought we were. Yeah, no, like. And they're cool. They went to Vanderbilt. They were wearing Mad Happy. Like. It doesn't get cooler.

It doesn't get cooler than that. Yeah. That was a nice, you know, feeling. Yeah. Anyways, shout out to the chuggies, proud or ashamed. Yeah. Like, it's never too late to turn things around. Shout out to the open chuggies and the closeted chuggies.

Like, we are all chuggies. Yeah. We've all been chuggies, too. Yeah, I've been chuggy many times in my life. So and i kind of love that there's like a word for that aesthetic and it's better than basic because basic is also just like a word in the dictionary that's a descriptor and it got really overplayed really fast and there was never an actual meaning for it yeah it's just like a vibe yeah i'm just i'm glad i'm happy for the chuggies me too happy for us and only if you want to be one yeah Yeah, that's fair.

But I don't think, I think in general, like you're not Chugie, but you did say something that was Chugie. No, I exhibited Chugie-like qualities. You did. And you got called out. I did. And now you've learned. Yeah.

And on TikTok of all places, it was so embarrassing. Yeah. I hadn't heard the word before. So that's how Chugie I am. Yeah, literally. Okay. Are you ready for the new inductees into the rock and roll hall of fame 2021 i mean like i don't care but sure it's always interesting you know to see where we're at with

the inductees of the 2021 rock and roll hall of fame class dave growl here food fighters yeah here are the the inductees the go-go's we love it the go-go's are the girls band yeah rock and roll yeah i guess it's just like music music also this is cleveland's claim to fame so shout out to cleveland i love cleveland stay perfect stay perfect stay just like small and peaceful jay-z rock and roll hall of fame oh so it's music it's not like it's whatever cleveland wants it to be okay yeah okay i approve of all these tina turner of course how was she not in it before i know foo fighters i i thought they would have been in it before as well carol king oh is that the musical yeah beautiful yeah it's that beautiful carol king musical my in-laws saw it and like literally plots their head off they said it was like the best musical ever and todd run to grin don't know him so that's exciting yeah i mean it looks like

they're missing the singer of toast but there's always next year there's i'll get him next year um that's just pretty cool like what but i wonder why that makes no sense like how is tina turner and jay-z in the same? Like they're literally from different generations. I don't know. That's disrespectful to Tina Turner. I agree. She should have been in it years ago. Better late than never.

So make sure to head on over to Cleveland. And check out the rock and roll. We should take a trip. Maybe the Hall of Fame will reach out now and maybe like put me in it. It's just like crazy how now in New York like every day is a Cleveland day. It's not like oh I had a Cleveland day today. It's like I had a Cleveland year. Before the pandemic Cleveland days were maybe like once every six months.

Yeah, where you just like were at your wits end with the way that things go in the city. And like you just, everything went wrong for you. For those who don't know, I encourage you to go find the episode where Jackie first discovered a Cleveland day when she smacked. She literally almost took down a CVS self-checkout machine because she was just having one of those days. And those days really make you think like, why do I live in New York I could be living in Cleveland yeah Cleveland sounds great right now so Cleveland day is just like when you can't with your city specifically New York but wherever you live works too wherever you live works too but I just imagine you would have left to stays because nothing's as torturous as New York yeah no like I don't

think those days exist anywhere else but New York no are you ready for our fifth and final story the little oil and gas news brought to you by Hair Food? Yes. Thank God.

Okay, we need to talk about our fifth and final story prop like the real news that we actually that's actually affecting people's lives it's really affecting us the colonial pipeline was hacked last weekend and it has been down but today on wednesday around 5 p.m eastern time it is now back up and restarted but still there is going to be delays so the colonial pipeline has restarted after the hack

but the supply chain won't return to normal let's start from the beginning for a few days what's the colonial pipeline jack colonial pipeline is a pipeline that goes from houston and that's a pipe that is in this ground yes okay that goes from houston to new jersey it's 5 500 miles of pipe of some good pipe you're laying the pipe yeah that um supplies oil gas fuel to major states cities airports and that's like the oil for gas stations and planes and yes exactly and it supplies around half of the east coast's fuel damn so it was hacked and let's talk about that and it was been offline since friday after the company fell it's a digital pipe i don't understand that how do you hack a pipe unless they mean hack in a physical sense

with an axe they know they hacked in a um digital in a digital sense they were wanted ransom they wanted like cryptocurrency five million dollars the did they want doge was it me did i hack the colonial pipeline looking for doge um and they wouldn't pay the ransom they finally got their got it back they like are they decided to instead of getting the hacking back like to get it back manually so that's why it's taken so long um yeah i don't understand how a pipe gets hacked yeah that's where i'm like i just i can't get past the rest of the story because like i i refuse to understand how a pipe is digital a pipe is a physical thing like it makes no fucking sense yeah so all week I was

seeing stuff of like and you're telling me wait sorry like we are technologically advanced enough to have a digital pipe but like the subway never works make it make sense no I I can't I can't I won't I tried to understand and I found out about this because of the 30 minutes I spent waiting for Elon Musk on SNL. Oh. And I was watching the local news and the pipeline had happened the day before. So I was like, oh, that's interesting. Hopefully they get it together.

But then all week I was seeing in Florida, Atlanta, Georgia. They ran out of gas. They ran out of gas. Like crazy lines at the gas station. People showing up with plastic bags to fill, to bring gas home. That's terrible. There was like major percentages of gas stations in so many states that were just no more gas.

And Tennessee is included. So we were like, we were like, can we get an Uber from the airport? And also before we left the colonial pipeline supplies the gas and fuel for the airport here in Nashville. So I was like, are we going to be able to get home? Right. No. And this is why you have a Tesla. This is why you have a tesla we need tesla planes yeah soon but anyway so every time we got an uber at the airport and i was like what do you think

about what's going on and he was like well look at the gas stations like they're totally closed we were driving by they were either completely closed or the lines down the block right and so he was like i have a full take now i was like so what are you going to do when it's done he's like go home he's like no more uber for three days he's like there's gonna be no more uber in three or four days and so we're like oh shit okay thanks um that's literally the duration of our stay but then a few hours later our other uber driver who seemed to be a little more informed on the situation optimistic we were like are you worried he's like no they're already working on the plant like it's going to be fine yeah and also as of 5 p.m yesterday so right around the time we

were having these conversations they got things restarted okay it's going to take some time to get it back up to speed but what a crazy thing to just like have no oil or gas for a week no it's literal like horse times no paul revere paul revere we read this book for the redheads the four winds about the great depression and it was in an era where people had cars, but they couldn't afford to put the gas in their cars. So they had to go back to using horses as transport. That's so twisted. Isn't it so crazy to have a car in your garage, but you have to get around by horse? No, that's like literally having a car in your garage and now having to use a bike because, like, there's no oil.

I think we should get some bikes for the weekend. Yeah. So crazy. Also, you could get a self-driving horse but that's just a horse yeah that's true hmm the options are very limited well i'm glad this is getting resolved but like it's very rare like national news is like about you you know like not to make it about me but like this is affecting me no and it felt like when we were in new york like nobody gave a shred of a shit no and now that like we came to national

it's like wait this is what's going on it's a huge issue more people should be talking about it more people not to out of my soapbox but like where is the coverage i feel like we're field reporters like we came down here to find out what's going on now this might be a loaded question but like who is the hacker unclear got it unclear okay yeah so that's that i feel like it's one of those disney channel spy movies where like they're in the back of a van and they're like, I need you to get into the system. Like, beep-bap-boo-doo. We're in. That's literally how it happened. Yeah.
