Starting point is 00:00:01 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the morning toast and happy Tuesday to everyone. I hope you have a beautiful day. That's gorgeous, Claudia. Is that an original? A Tuesday original? A song is only as beautiful as the person who sings it. I think a song is only as beautiful as the person who you're singing it to. That's an interesting perspective.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Not necessarily one I agree with, but I love hearing, you know, differing perspectives. This is like The View. Which would make that particular song so fucking ugly. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Jackie's in a feral mood. I've just learned a new favorite word. New favorite word alert. I just found out I've been mispronouncing that word. I was saying feral. Feral, feral mood i've just learned a new favorite word new favorite word alert i just found out i've been
Starting point is 00:00:45 mispronouncing that word i was saying feral feral feral feral oh speaking of you know the internet is ablaze with your pronunciation um we posted a clip from our show yesterday of the color t-a-u-p-e can you say it again how you pronounced it top taupe i like top if it was meant to be if it was meant to be taupe it would be t-o-p-e no and the thing is i knew what you were saying i knew what you were saying everyone did because everyone has a top paired of underwear i'm so unwell today and I'm sure you are too because you've had a morning but like I am harried frazzled and feral feral actually oh you're one of those just letting you know the internet is like obsessed with the word feral I didn't make it up like it's a tiktok thing it's an internet original not a Claudia original yeah which means it's obviously like less cool but obviously obviously what are they
Starting point is 00:01:45 saying it about like when you just act insane you're like a feral animal oh yeah no you are no I am I've had the busiest morning work work work brand meeting brand this brand that it's brands are just obsessed with you they're clamoring for you to be their spokesperson and I don't blame them no and the thing is is like when you're a mogul like these are things you have to make time for and it's just tough because you know what do you prioritize what do you prioritize that's a great I'm asking you like what's your priority myself okay second Theo okay third this doesn't sound like a mogul yet Myself. Okay. Second. Theo. Okay. Third.
Starting point is 00:02:26 This doesn't sound like a mogul yet. No, no. You're talking about like work-wise actually like what takes priority in my list of. Yeah, sure. Answer however you want. I would say my number one priority when it comes to work is the toast. Like quality, audio quality, video quality, humor quality. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Performance. Consistency. Yeah. Social. Managing the social. Overall branding. Community management management like the morning toast is my number one priority that's good you have your priorities in order yeah number two priority is probably my tour number three priority is probably you know managing the girl with no job brand you know working with other brands creating content for you know my various social media platforms. Well, now you are multi-platform. You're a multi-hyphenate creator. Yeah. Because the big news of the day and what you've been prioritizing and your hard work has paid off
Starting point is 00:03:15 is that we hit 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. Thanks to the Rebecca's, the Gertrude's, the Emily's, the Sarah's and the Rachel's, and the Rachel's, and everyone who subscribed and got us to 90k. And then those five took us over the line. I really think it was probably the Gertrude's if I just like I'm not a betting person. But if I were to bet it was all the Gertrude's. Um, yeah, that's really what I wanted to come on here and talk about today. I'm so overwhelmed. And honestly, it's not one of those things where it happens. And then you're like let down by the excitement of it all.'s very exciting I can let you guys know and honestly what I wanted to come on here and say was just express gratitude for the toasters like being
Starting point is 00:03:53 as excited about this milestone as we are like it's on their page like there's no reason like they should give a shit like about this podcast they listen to but everyone was like doing the most getting their husbands their co-workers like create Gmail accounts, logging into accounts they haven't, you know, been active on in 15 years, really getting excited. And then once we hit it, like their excitement matched mine. And that was really like, I can't imagine like caring about anyone else, you know. So for me, it's like huge that other people cared about a milestone of ours. And I'm really I'm humbled. I really am. And I'm extremely grateful. That's so beautiful, Claudia. So is that your official acceptance speech? Or is there anyone else that you want to thank?
Starting point is 00:04:26 Well, of course I want to thank God. Because he made me so funny. And gave me the best sister on the planet. Who's also so funny. So like, none of those things would happen if it weren't for, you know. HaKadosh Baruch Hu. So to him, I'm extremely grateful. And I'm not one of these people who thinks God is a woman.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I'm just not. To him. I'm extremely grateful. And I'm not one of these people who thinks God is a woman. I'm just not. To him or her. No. The Bible is very clear. Capital H-I-M. The Bible is extremely clear. You know, all of his pronouns, all of his verbs are masculine. So I'm all for, you know, empowering women,
Starting point is 00:05:00 except when it comes to the Hallmark Channel and whether God is a woman. I wonder if there's a version of the Bible. I'm sure there is. With God's pronouns as female. I'm sure there is. And I'm sure a lot of people find like spiritual healing and guidance from it. And I absolutely love that journey for you. But the thing about religion is that it's more personal than comedy.
Starting point is 00:05:21 So my personal, you know, religious experience is that of a masculine God. And that's, I'm not saying that's everyone, but I'm just saying I'm not, one thing you should know about me, you know, to our a hundred thousand subscribers and millions of fans across the planet is, um, I don't pray to a male God. I do. Okay. And he answered your prayers. He answered my prayers. So thank you to everyone for bringing us to this milestone. We obviously couldn't have done it without you because making 100,000 Gmails is not something I'm below, but it's not necessarily something I want to take on, you know? No, it's not there on your list of priorities.
Starting point is 00:05:59 So it's important to note, like, I thought literally once we hit 100k, like, Larry, the guy who started Google, like, would call me up and be like, your plaque is in route. Mrs. Zoschre, thank you so much for the premium content. But it actually doesn't happen that way. We have to wait about a week for YouTube to reach out to us. And then once they do reach out to us, we have to go under review. So your account is only eligible if you post original content, which we do. We don't resurface, you know, like music videos or anything like that. And we have no
Starting point is 00:06:29 copyright claims against us, which to my understanding, we don't since we create original content. So I don't want to jinx it. I think we should be in the clear in terms of eligibility. But it's also important to note that YouTube can, you know, give out plaques at their own discretion. So if there's a disgruntled former toaster who works at YouTube and has power, she could literally be like, and don't get me, don't get it twisted, that disgruntled former toaster is a she, unlike God.
Starting point is 00:06:53 She can say, they can deny you for no reason. Yeah, it's really up to their whims and wishes. See if they have scruples. So we're in their hands. I have faith that we follow the rules. We're good content creators. I don't think it should be really a controversial decision. But we'll see.
Starting point is 00:07:13 We could always be surprised. Well, another thing that takes you out of the running for eligibility is whether you're spreading misinformation. And I did just say that God is a man. So someone could interpret that as misinformation. Right. And you're also claiming that there is a God. So someone could interpret that as misinformation. Right. And you're also claiming that there is a God. Someone else could make that, think that's misinformation.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I also did claim that Paul Rudd taught me gymnastics, which is true, by the way, I think. But some people could, obviously, Paul Rudd included. They could poke holes in that. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just, it's a waiting game at this point. We'll, of course, keep you updated on the process as we have been this entire time and I just think it's also important to remember that just because we've hit a hundred thousand subscribers doesn't mean that you should
Starting point is 00:07:51 not subscribe you know not to continue to subscribe and just like make your presence known and now it's like I feel sometimes like at the end of the year I feel akin to the Spotify listeners because we get Spotify wrapped and I'm like who's listening the most hours on Spotify and other times like I feel akin to the Apple users because I'm looking at the charts I'm like where why aren't you guys listening on Apple I want to be number one on the charts of course but these days we're feeling really akin to the YouTube subscribers not only the 100k which means the world to us means everything it's everything we could ever wish for ever but it's like we did all of this new studio like I'm sweating in every orifice for the YouTube not for the podcast for the YouTube and so I'm just
Starting point is 00:08:31 feeling really close to them no also I literally was talking about about this yesterday it's important for people to know people are always wondering about you know like the back end of our business running a podcast like an audio, is actually an extremely low cost business, which is why anyone can start a podcast. It's really an accessible medium. Becoming content creators on YouTube in a high quality sense is extremely expensive. And we spend like copious amounts of money per month renting space, you know, all the things that all the resources that are involved in getting this up when literally our YouTube audience is about five or ten percent of that people who actually listen to the morning toast as a podcast but that's on being vain and needing to see ourselves on camera and that's on putting out the sort of content that we want to see in the world and like i know if i was
Starting point is 00:09:17 not the host of this show i would be a toaster 100 on youtube and i would watch on youtube yeah yeah of course yeah of course so that's why we do what you do do what we do it i don't know i do it for the culture god damn so that's the big news of the day that should have been story number one that should have been story number one but instead it's it's our lead story uh that's really what's been going on with us amongst other things i'm trying to make baby food big yikes oh my god i thought us amongst other things I'm trying to make baby food big yikes oh my god I thought you were gonna say I'm trying to make babies I'm like you're kidding me no I'm trying to make baby food now and I'm struggling to get the right consistency machinery
Starting point is 00:09:58 you know I I had an epic fail with the baby brezza and no shade to baby brezza because I love the bottle sterilizer but their baby food maker is just a piece of crap yeah I'm not gonna lie uh you sent me this gorgeous like gorgeous beyond and getty type of photo of Harry looking so stunning um while eating dinner and he had some shit on his plate it was carrots that looked you know at 40 carrots that I give you that like wet carrot thing with all your sandwiches yeah continue continue to make fun of the food that I like made from scratch no you're right yeah yeah make fun of that for sure it's it's fucked up for sure I just um I could tell I just I know you're struggling how about that no but that's what baby food looks like girl is this supposed to be like majorly pureed yeah i just looked a little chunky to me that's it
Starting point is 00:10:46 you look a little chunky oh i'm kidding my god i can say that because you're so fucking snatched these days i could vomit chunksters get her i can only say that because you actually are not. And you're so svelte. I'm so jealous. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Wow. And you know what? You know who I don't think would appreciate that comment? Mamas. Mamas, get her. She came after my homemade baby food, okay? You guys get her. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:24 I came after your homemade baby food. You came after my soul. And if we weren't sisters bitch i'd climb through this motherfucking computer and strangle you okay oh my god it's true and i'm only not upset because i look stunning today i look stunning every day these days and i'm just a jealous wench what can can I say? Okay. That's totally fine. I am down officially 23 pounds. And if you can acknowledge your jealousy, like, that's amazing. That's what I said. Like, I could vomit. I'm so jealous.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I'm so proud of you. You look insane. And now you can, like, now I can make a joke. You can make a joke. Yeah, no, before you couldn't. Too real. Too real. Be real, Claude. Be real. Too real. Be real, Claude.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Be real. Do you think that you are going to like get out of a phase of making your own baby food and just buy it? Well, that's what everyone said. Like in the comments on my Instagram, they were like, you throw it away and you go to the store and you buy it. There's apparently a lot of baby foods that have no additives. I just don't know how something can be on the shelf and it's like actually just carrots
Starting point is 00:12:23 and nothing else. Like, right. Wouldn't it expire? I definitely want to give it a good try I'm definitely not feeling disheartened enough yet and the thing is like I can't making baby food can't be harder than nursing and pumping 24 7 100 so I am committed for the time being but we shall see I'll keep you guys posted I got a different machine and I am sending that baby guys a one back because it's broken I feel like it's like one of those classic things like baby number one pureeing your own food baby number two you can have crack yeah that's like the crack that's like that commercial for I think it's pamper not pampers it's the other
Starting point is 00:13:02 one like loves huggies one of them and they're like parents for baby number two because it's not Pampers. It's the other one. Like Loves. Huggies. One of them. And they're like parents for baby number two. Because it's like they're less expensive, I think. And they're just as good. Right, right. Like and it's literally just like cotton. Yeah, yeah. So you're making your own baby food.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Any thoughts on cloth diapers? Still no thoughts. I follow. follow actually I don't follow it comes up all the time people like talking about why I use cloth diapers and the benefits and like I totally get it for sure but like when there's a duty in a diaper and you put the diaper in the laundry where does the duty go I think that before you put it in the laundry like you wipe you get as much duty off as you can you rinse it in the sink and then it's just like stained speaking of duty did you see kaylee and russell dickerson's instagram stories yesterday no oh my god they posted the funniest thing at first it was on their close friends story and I was like oh my god this is such good content but then they posted on like public so their child like they were like laying in bed the child was
Starting point is 00:14:11 supposed to be asleep and they like look on their camera and Kaylee turns to Russell and was like I think our son is like holding his duty so they run in and literally he has duty all over his bed he pulled his duty out of his diaper and like it was on his hands, his face, his sheets. Kaylee was being so funny about it. I could not stop laughing because it's like one of those things that is so insane. Like you just have to laugh. That is so crazy and so funny. I didn't know that that was a possibility. And I didn't know I was on Kaylee Dickerson's close friend story and now I will be checking it routinely. Oh that's exciting. I'm gonna go watch that story when we're done. Apparently it's like a common issue. Not common but it's not like uncommon. It's like a behavioral thing that a lot of kids go through and it's like a really
Starting point is 00:14:52 like difficult time for the parents because I think it takes a couple weeks for them to. What if you put them in a onesie? How could they get in there? That's what people had suggested but at a certain point like your child grows out of a onesie. Like Michaela doesn't really wear a lot of onesies. No she wears proper pajamas but it sounds like a onesie would be a solve yes a onesie is um people were suggesting on her Instagram a good solution great okay so we're just we're solution oriented mamas today if your kids are picking duty out of their own diapers no it's not an uncommon issue you're not alone and there's a onesie for that great okay you learn something new every day here yeah um so that's really all I have to say on it I just wanted to
Starting point is 00:15:33 come on here and like give my acceptance speech for 100k and then be hilarious and deliver the past five with my best gal pal oh love that for us I just have one small update because I was up so late finishing every summer after what did you think I know Margo didn't love it by the end I liked it so much more than when I started because when you start it's like okay so she's like 30 and like kind of sad and miserable and then the flashbacks are to a 13 year old getting her period I'm like what am I doing reading this book by the end she's like 30 and figuring her life out. And she's eight, the flashbacks, she's 18 and like making big life choices. So I was like, okay, great. And I really, really liked it by the end of it.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I'm still glad that Snitch didn't pick it for the redheads. Cause it just, I don't need to dissect it. Like, yeah, it's not that deep. It's not that deep at all. But I think when I got into bed last night, I was at like 60%. And I just like, couldn't, I needed to know what happened and what the thing was. And I think I was up to like 1130 reading, which is why I'm so fucking tired. OK, so this is about to be a spoiler alert for the books.
Starting point is 00:16:33 If you haven't read it, feel free to like press forward 30 seconds. What did you think of the final line of the book? What was the final line? That she was proposing to him. Oh, oh, I was like, OK, Becca Kufrin. I was reading it. I'm like, this is the best book I've ever read. Nothing can make this book bad.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Epilogue. I'm like crying. I'm like, this is amazing. Final line. I'm like, I had to reread it. I'm like, there's no way she's proposing to him again. Champion of women over here. We deserve to be proposed to in heterosexual relationships.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Agreed. It didn't bother me because I feel like it didn't bother me because he had proposed to her and she turned him down and so I kind of feel like the ball's in her court that's why a good point that's why she was doing it because I mean to propose to someone they turn you down and even if things get better like wouldn't you just like feel a little weird about doing it again like it has to be on her to do it and then I'm sure he would propose to her again but she needed to to pick up the mantle okay I have to say like that definitely I totally had forgotten that he had asked her um and I'm so glad we're talking about this because that was
Starting point is 00:17:38 like a piece of the book I couldn't oh if he had never proposed to her. Yeah, no. Like that would have been really weird. Okay, you know what? Oh my God, I feel so much better. My book update is a book I told you about yesterday. I finished and it was fucking amazing. Five stars. There was a twist that I could not believe. And I wasn't even expecting a twist
Starting point is 00:18:00 because the book was really good. Like I didn't need a big twist. What's the book? The Secrets of Us. even expecting a twist because the book was really good like I didn't need a big twist what's the book the secrets of us it's free on prime 237 pages and it's incredible I loved it I'm gonna add it to my goodreads right now so I don't forget it's like a twisty thriller twist okay is it spooky no there was one scene that was spooky and I was like home alone and I was quaking but other than that it's totally fine okay you should read a flicker in the dark I know I get like really scared easily by books like I it's like for me when I was younger and I used to watch like a lot of law and order every now and then an episode would like freak
Starting point is 00:18:40 me out and I like couldn't go to sleep um and sometimes like I feel like that could happen with me with books like scary books well Well, the book like while you're reading it, you're very into it, but there's nothing in it that's like going to keep you scared, I think. Yeah. Oh, we also didn't even talk about like together privately or here on the podcast yet that people are loving our remote setup, which brings me so much joy. Like I got so much positive feedback from our audio listeners and our video listeners yesterday, because I, you know, obviously I'm change averse. I was worried like the show would never be the same. Um, people were like, I literally forgot Claudia wasn't in Florida. I listened as a podcast. The audio was premium. I couldn't even
Starting point is 00:19:17 tell you guys were in separate rooms and video everyone loved, even though I thought I had like a huge fuck up with my video I ended up getting a new camera yesterday so today's will be even better but everyone's like this is amazing this is amazing and I just I feel proud of us I feel proud of us too and we still have like improvements to come to make it you know as perfect as it can be but I'm so glad that people are liking it and that it is fire flames because we love doing the show and I really wanted to be able to move and I'm glad that I could. Yeah, no, I feel really, I feel really good. And honestly, this new angle on you on YouTube, it's just more flattering for me. I don't feel so exposed visually. So I'm at peace
Starting point is 00:20:00 for sure. Yeah, no, I like I like the vibe and the feeling just like it's very cozy in here I am wearing my pajama pants still um because I didn't know that you'd be able to see them but just you guys I've had a really long morning like just it's fine leave it at that leave it at that mamas don't get her thank you mamas back down mamas white flag yeah no and my hair is like so gross but i actually like can't wash it because i don't have time to do it so i just keep it gross that's fine yeah slick the grosser the slicker 100 that's what they do on tiktok everyone's like literally putting dirt in their hair to make it look good oh is that what they're doing these days on tiktok the the dirtier the hair like the clean girl aesthetic that everyone's like obsessed with which is like really dainty
Starting point is 00:20:47 looking girls in like really slick back buns and ponies they never wash their hair and they douse it in mousse to like make it really slick interesting that's like the hailey bieber aesthetic yes yes i've seen a bit of that on reels oh wow it must be the then the clean girl trend is officially over if it's on reels no I don't know if I've seen on reels but I did hear about it somewhere on Instagram yeah no it's it's not an aesthetic that I can personally take on because I feel like if you like if you guys don't know like the clean girl aesthetic is very Haley Bieber it's like natural makeup it's like jewelry like a little crop top with the jean and a blazer and like a golden necklace and just like skinny and just that. And I haven't seen the clean girl aesthetic on a big face or like people who actually need to wear makeup.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Like it's easy to be clean girl aesthetic when you're 16 and you have like perfect skin and perfect everything. So it's just a trend I can't particularly, you know, participate in, which is sad. Is there a TikTok aesthetic that you do feel like is yours? Coastal grandmother. But you're not a coastal grandmother today. Today you're like 70s hippie grandma. Well, I came, I've been up for 52 hours. I was up early this morning at a brand event for Captain Crunch and it was on a boat and it was like you know Captain Crunch Crunch Berry is very colorful so I wanted to be on theme so this set I'm wearing which is from Zara is like colorful I thought I was giving Crunch Berry it is giving Crunch Berry yeah like
Starting point is 00:22:16 and I got complimented it on by the girlies who work for Captain Crunch who are obviously toasters shout out to Captain Crunch Maddie the team the team, Toasters. Love it. It's giving Crunchberry. It is giving Crunchberry. You're a Crunchberry aesthetic. Yes, that's kind of like the era I'm currently in. I love that for you. Thanks. So I feel like we've got a great show for everyone today. Five glorious stories. Big news with Serena Williams. Yep, we'll be talking about it. You guys know I don't know if I've mentioned this here before but I have a deep connection to Serena Williams I did write my senior thesis in college on her and I got the only a I've ever gotten in my life I don't
Starting point is 00:22:54 think I knew that oh I feel like it's one of those Dennis funeral stories I say it all the time no fresh story alert oh my god yeah so it was the longest paper I ever had to write it was about 20 pages and I just like really I don't know why I chose Serena Williams but I learned so much about her and I got an A like when I checked it was the year I graduated so like I didn't really care about my grades and I went to go check my grades and there was like an A on my final and I swear to god I thought I thought I logged into someone else's portal. I was like, this cannot be correct. So what were you saying about her? Well, it was really about like the media representation of Serena Williams. How one, how she's compared like verbally to men and one, how she's compared verbally
Starting point is 00:23:37 to white players and the verbs that like the New York Times uses to refer to Serena Williams are so fucking derogatory, like beastly. But Maria Sharapova is like elegant, you know? Oh. And then a lot about her hair. Like it was really because the class was called Race and Ethnicity. And it was just about Serena Williams as a tennis player, but also as a black woman. And it was like, I think it was really good. And so did my professor. I got an A. That's amazing. So I feel deeply connected to Serena Williams for that reason. And we had the opportunity to meet her like four years ago and she was a doll and a half and she was fucking hilarious.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yeah. No, you, I don't think you've told that story before and you know, I remember. So I feel like I'm always telling that story. And it's so sad because when we met Serena Williams, we took a picture that should be illegal for how fucking ugly it is and I would love for this to be one of those moments
Starting point is 00:24:29 where like I posted on the toast Instagram and everyone like last I literally will never in my life let that photo see the light of day and I did I did post it on my Instagram story at the time so fucking facetuned like it was a fun house mirror and it still was one of the worst photos of me to ever grace the internet I don't I remember meeting her but I don't remember this photo it's the three of us me you and Serena you need to send it to me oh I'll send it to you yeah yeah yeah because I don't remember it's horrifying you it was your Bob days and it was my mole days so dark Bob and mole mole and Bob.
Starting point is 00:25:11 So we'll get into Serena amongst other things. Yes, we will. In the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Starting point is 00:28:11 Our first story is some sad news. Olivia Newton-John has died at the age of 73 after a 30-year battle with breast cancer. Olivia Newton-John, the Grammy Award-winning singer and actress best known for her role in Grease, died on Monday after battling breast cancer for 30 years. She passed away peacefully at her ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by her family and friends, read a statement posted to her Facebook. The statement said, we ask that everyone please respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hopes for over 30 years, sharing her journey with breast cancer, her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton John Foundation Fund dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer they asked for donations to her fund in lieu of flowers this was so like unexpected and sad and also just like so weird because yesterday for the first time I think in literally two years we were talking about John Travolta on the toast um and then I saw John Travolta's tribute and it was like it actually brought tears to my eyes he was like you're Danny like it was it was so cute um
Starting point is 00:29:13 and this is so sad um I feel like she's been really like open publicly over the years about her struggle with breast cancer and I think she's kind of like a multi-generational queen. Like obviously millennials and older boomers, everyone knows her from Greece, but then she had like an iconic role on Glee. And she's just, her songs, like even if you're not familiar with Olivia Newton-John, like you of course know her iconic songs from Greece.
Starting point is 00:29:40 And she's just a cultural icon. And this is so sad. This is so sad. who was she on Glee I think she was herself oh very cool yeah they did I think like maybe a Greece episode I don't remember what it was she did let's get physical let's get physical but that's not from Greece no that's one of her songs though but you said it was a you know I don't remember honestly oh okay yeah no this is very, very sad. I think everybody is feeling the loss.
Starting point is 00:30:08 So many celebrities have like penned tributes that just so many celebrities have posted videos of themselves singing hopelessly devoted. And I wanted to talk about that. So really? Well, I wanted to know if you think that is an like appropriate or like respectful way of honoring someone like like to sing no not the day that they pass away it's like here's me singing their song like yeah it's a little strange and it also depends on like the medium like did you perform it at you know a big thing and you're posting that clip or
Starting point is 00:30:45 you're just like hopping on to show how you can sing? And by the way, I'm not calling anyone out. Like I know everyone's going to be like, Remy posted and Remy's video. She looked amazing. But I saw literally 10 people do it. And I was like, is this a trend? And then I saw it on like Instagram and TikTok. And I was just like, I've never seen that before where like somebody passes away like
Starting point is 00:31:03 a musician and then everyone starts posting videos of themselves singing I'm not calling anyone out I just want to talk about like okay the trend in general yeah no it's a little it's a little like hey look at me right but like I'm not really above asking you to grace us with hopelessly devoted today and like that would be weird yeah yeah even though it's one of my favorite songs to sing so without further ado no I'm kidding um I already have a TikTok up from like a couple years ago if you want to go look um I just thought that was interesting it is interesting and if I didn't want you to sing it so bad right now I would go harder on the people who did that but you know the thing is like I can't I can't go hard on them because like I could have been one of them you know I just probably was busy yeah yeah exactly I'm hopelessly devoted to you so I think in general it is like a nice way of honoring her like it's an iconic song of hers
Starting point is 00:31:58 and like you know the more you sing it every time you sing it like her spirit lives on I do think it's like a weird reflex to be like, let me sing since she passed. But since we have been talking about her for a while now, like I'm ready for it. For the song. For me? No, I was going to say something, but I shouldn't. But now there's nowhere to hide Since you pushed my love aside
Starting point is 00:32:30 I'm out of my head Hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you By the way, this is literally going to get us copyrighted and our eligible plaque removed. It's fine. It was less than 10 seconds. And that was beautiful.
Starting point is 00:32:58 And even though, yes, in theory, there is something weird about making it about you, I really enjoyed that tribute. Yeah, and I enjoyed, like, other people's tribute. Like, Kelsey Ballerini did one. I saw a bunch of people on TikTok who, like, I don't know personally do it. They sounded great. Remy sounded amazing.
Starting point is 00:33:16 And I was just, like, wanting to talk about, and I really can't stress enough, like, I'm not coming for anyone. Like, I love everyone who did it. I'm just genuinely, like, I thought it was an interesting trend. We're commentating on the trend. Yeah. And I have to say like, I don't know if I've ever spoken about this, but like there was a time in my life,
Starting point is 00:33:32 like at a young age when I was like coming to understand that I had like a really beautiful singing voice. Um, and the song that I came to that conclusion with was hopelessly devoted. I don't know if you remember, like I used to sing that song on the car ride home from school, like 45 times a day. No,
Starting point is 00:33:48 I don't really remember that. Yeah. It was like a, it was like a thing. Oh, it was a thing. Okay. Maybe it just wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Yeah. Well, that was beautiful. And thank you for that. You're welcome. And rest in peace, Olivia Newton, John. also another thing I saw like a trend like people um like on social media being like RIP but they did like capital R
Starting point is 00:34:13 lowercase ip and I just feel like I feel like that's disrespectful like rip Olivia you know no I saw like a few people do it and it's like just take that extra time to do it all capital yeah like if you can't even put like the period in between like but all I don't even need the periods like I just need all capitals it felt really like disrespectful I'm being serious so fucking lazy and like if you don't even have the time to put in capitals like we don't need your rip no and like you obviously don't care like you're doing this for content not for like to honor someone who touched you yeah I agree rip Olivia I think that's really more disrespectful I agree than anything people just feel like they need to post something
Starting point is 00:35:00 so often and it's like you really don't like if if you can't take the time to actually say something or even to put periods or uh capitalizations on rip then we don't need to hear from you right this is like a serious thing it's not like a regular social media post or a tweet like I it just I saw it like I saw it once and I was like oh that's weird and then I saw like two more times on Twitter and I was like that's like rude's weird. And then I saw like two more times on Twitter. And I was like, that's like rude. Yeah. Yeah, that is weird. I never thought of it, but you're right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I don't know why I was like judging the way everyone was grieving on social media yesterday, but that's what I was up to. Love that for you. Thanks. Our next story, other big news of the day. Serena Williams announces she will retire from tennis after the 2022 U.S. Open. So Serena Williams is on the cover of Vogue and called Serena's farewell. She says I'm terrible at goodbyes. And she penned an essay on why she's retiring from tennis in 2022.
Starting point is 00:35:57 And it is the September issue, right? So it's like a really big deal for her to be on the cover, right? It is the September issue. I didn't even realize that. So it's like a huge deal for Vogue, huge deal for Serena. I think this is really like a beautiful way to announce it because it's like a huge milestone to be on Vogue, September issue. And then also like it's a career milestone for her retiring from tennis.
Starting point is 00:36:16 So I think whoever was in charge of like the marketing, genius. Yeah, I forgot about the fanfare about the September issue. And this hits all the marks. I'm just like cursing myself for not purchasing U.S. Open tickets prior. Because now like the women's finals and the women's semifinals tickets are going to be so expensive. And I really want to go now. Yeah, you should go. I know.
Starting point is 00:36:42 I should. You know, Brian always gets Like free tickets Because like You know The sponsors are always Like airlines Credit cards Banks Yeah
Starting point is 00:36:48 Go with him That's like That's like if You know Fashion pass Where the sponsor Obviously I would get Free tickets
Starting point is 00:36:53 For him It's American Express We're different Or if it was Captain Crunch Right Right So I
Starting point is 00:36:59 I really Want to go now And I Didn't really have interest In going to the US Open Before that It's so hot Yeah No you should go It's a nice experience I really want to go now. And I didn't really have interest in going to the U.S. Open before that. It's so hot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:07 No, you should go. It's a nice experience. And this is historic. Yeah. She talks about like why she's now retiring and ultimately comes down to prioritizing like being a mom and family and not being able to do it all. As they say, she talks about how if she were a man, she wouldn't have to make this choice because her wife would be home birthing babies breastfeeding going through all
Starting point is 00:37:28 of it and she it's fucking bullshit it's crazy I was just reading uh maybe I knew this at the time but it hits different now in 2017 at 35 she won the Australian Open while eight weeks pregnant with her daughter and she came back playing through postpartum depression and while breastfeeding and she's also been so vocal like such a good advocate for mamas like talking about working as a mom being getting back in good physical shape as a mom I watched her documentary she talked about it a lot um the one the documentary about her wedding but it was also like her trying to get back in shape for the wedding and for like a tennis upcoming tournament she was like super vulnerable I stan like so completely she's like probably the greatest tennis player of all time cross gender cross country like I would say she's
Starting point is 00:38:16 she's the best player of all time right it's hard to say cross gender because it's so different I mean the sport is different for men and women, like the amount of games played and everything. I guess. I feel like if she played Novak Djokovic, who for some reason I fucking hate. I don't know. I just something about his face. It reminds me maybe of someone I went to middle school with who I didn't like. I am so triggered by him.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Like if someone's watching U.S. Open and it's Novak Djokovic against literally anyone, I'm rooting for the other guy. I'm looking at his face. He doesn't bother me whatsoever. I actually like him. And I'm sorry you've had that experience. I'm a Nadal girly. I'm a Nadal girly.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Like I love when he picks his wedgies. Like he's so cute. But I agree with you that Serena Williams is the greatest of all time. I don't know what would happen if she played Novak Djokovic, though. I think she would win, deadass. I would love to see that. I think she should do it before she goes out.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Isn't that the premise of that movie about Billie Jean King? You know, I'm not a BJK stan in the sense that I really don't know a lot about Billie Jean. Me neither, and I didn't see the movie. Except I do't know a lot about Billie Jean. Me neither. And I didn't see the movie. Except I do know that she's not my lover. She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one. The kid is not my son. By the way, when you think of the kid is not my son, what do you think of that thing?
Starting point is 00:39:41 To Kiaras in Montana? To Kiaras in Montana. I don't know where we were. Like someone at camp used to think that was the words. Do you want of that thing? ¿Te quieres una manzana? ¿Te quieres una manzana? I don't know where we were. Someone at camp used to think that was the words, do you want an apple, in Spanish. And they used to sing it, and then they told us that, and I think we made fun of them relentlessly, as we should. No, it sounds exactly like, ¿Te quieres una manzana?
Starting point is 00:39:59 ¿Te quieres una manzana? Yeah. That's also like, wet dream tomato. Yes, yes like wet dream tomato. Yes. Yes. Wet dream tomato. Where dreams are made. Concrete jungle.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Wet dream tomato. There's nothing you can't do. I would love to see Serena play Novak. Now I'm hung up on that. Yeah. But I agree. She is the goat. She's the goat. She's the GOAT.
Starting point is 00:40:26 She's an icon for women, for tennis players, for athletes, for mothers. For women who are actually beautiful. Right. I'm 100% for women who actually
Starting point is 00:40:35 possess the vernacular they believe they possess. And this, like, I feel like I've never been like obsessed with tennis, but whenever it's on, especially the US Open, like I always keep up and she's just been like I've never been like obsessed with tennis but whenever it's on
Starting point is 00:40:45 especially the U.S. Open like I always keep up and she's just been like a pillar in the U.S. Open like for my whole life so I love her I does that mean she's also retiring from her doubles career with Venus I think tennis is tennis yeah this is so sad I mean obviously every great athlete has to retire at some point how old is she great. I think she's in her 40s. That's so crazy. I just would like to confirm that. Yeah. But I don't know if I can do it in time.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Just Google Serena Williams age. Oh, that's true. I was scrolling. Where were you going? I was just scrolling through the article I was reading. Oh. But you're right. She's 40. She's 40.
Starting point is 00:41:25 She's 40. Yes, we confirmed. Great. So, you know, that's a respectable age to retire. I'm wishing her the best. I don't think this is the last. We'll see if her, she's, you know, businesswoman, mogul. She's always, you know, doing stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:39 But thank you, Serena, for your amazing career. It's really been a joy and a pleasure to watch it really has been looking forward to see what she does next hope she gets everything she wants me too and I hope she finds peace in her retirement and can focus on family yeah that's true are you ready for our next story yeah an update oh no spoke too soon is it the next story that happens to be brought to you by pair eyewear yes oh what a little coinkydank love when that happens you are a unique mashup of all of your favorite things and there's a multitude of ways to express yourself so celebrate all that you are and explore who you can be with customized prescription glasses from pair eyewear don't let wearing

Starting point is 00:43:30 Anne Heche is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since her L.A. car crash, says a rep. Anne Heche's condition has not improved in the days following her fiery L.A. car crash. A rep for the Emmy winner said in a statement to People that she is now in critical condition at the hospital. a rep for the Emmy winner said in a statement to people that she is now in critical condition at the hospital quote she has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention she is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident she was in a blue mini cooper on Friday that crashed into a Mar Vista home rented by a woman the residents caught fire resulting in the Emmy winning actress suffering burns from the incident she was then intubated in the hospital. So I feel like when you get into a really bad
Starting point is 00:44:09 like fire burning incident don't they put you in a medical induced coma because the pain of your skin burning is so painful that you might go into shock and like potentially die? I don't know. might go into shock and like potentially die I don't know so I was just curious if she was in a coma from that or from like head injuries sustained that's interesting the way that they're phrasing it makes it seem like it's not a medically induced coma one because they're giving information so wouldn't they say a medically induced coma and they and do you do they take you if it's a medically induced coma do they take you out of it or you have to regain consciousness on your own I think they could take you out of it so they're saying she has not regained consciousness so oh like as if she had a choice right got it um also I just wanted to correct myself apparently Anna Hayes I said yesterday was never on Celebrity
Starting point is 00:45:02 Apprentice so perhaps I was thinking of someone else I wonder who you were thinking of I swear like I swear to god she was like I'm telling you I don't care what Google says she was on it I mean we could look up who was on that season and maybe there's someone else with like a pixie cut you were thinking yeah but I'm telling you I wouldn't know who Anna Heche is anyway so like if if I didn't know her from that where did I know her yeah okay here's who was on season eight ready are you ready Joan Rivers Annie Duke oh my god Jesse James not Decker Sandra Bullock's ex-husband he went really far he did really good yeah, obviously, like what we know about him is not, you know, indicative of this, but on the show, he was pijam energy.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And he was still married to Sandra at the time. It was crazy how he wouldn't work his like connections. To raise money through like her and her fancy friends. Yeah. Brandi Roderick, who's a Playboy Playmate. And actually, she went really far too. Melissa Rivers, Herschel Walker, footballer clint black oh sorry clint buck yeah i skipped right by him country star are you ready for our next oh so that's the update on anne hayes we'll keep you
Starting point is 00:46:16 posted this story just gets crazier and crazier and um i just you know hope she pulls through are you ready for our next story cam Camila Cabello has confirmed her relationship with Lox Club CEO Austin Kevich. Camila Cabello confirmed she's dating Austin Kevich by showing plenty of PDA with the Lox Club founder less than a year after her breakup from Shawn Mendes. The two stepped out for a public walk in LA on Sunday, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
Starting point is 00:46:43 They were spotted on a stroll while holding hands as they playfully chatted with each other at another point the duo enjoyed some breakfast while relaxing at a picnic table she was seen planting a big smooch on his cheek and another sweet woman she caressed his fudge so yeah every time I hear about these two and I think I said this maybe the last time we spoke about it on the show. But I always feel like the way that it's reported, like his name is always the Locks Club CEO. Like it feels sponsored. Like that would be like if every time I'm spotted out,
Starting point is 00:47:15 which is never, it's the Morning Toast co-host. Like it's so, it's in the headline. That's true. Not tech founder, tech CEO. Yeah. Businessman. I don't know if it's in the headline. That's true. Not tech founder, tech CEO. Yeah. Businessman. I don't know if it's sponsored. I mean, I am glad for the context.
Starting point is 00:47:32 And if it was just tech CEO, it feels different than like Locks Club founder, you know, tech CEO is like Evan Spiegel. But that is a very interesting point. You know what it reminds me of it's like you know sofia richie's fiance is uh yeah cha-cha matcha i think just businessman i think like i think he's like does a lot of things i don't think so google yeah yeah i think he does like a million things maybe he's like an investor in cha-cha matcha I just like saying cha-cha matcha me too even though like you couldn't pay me to drink matcha cha-cha okay
Starting point is 00:48:08 Sophia Richie cha-cha matcha she's probably been there before yeah oh yeah that too no but he is the founder oh no no that was the other guy she was dating not her fiance now right not her fiance her fiance is like a executive. Okay. So confusing. I'm so confused. Yeah. So many, so many businessmen.
Starting point is 00:48:32 It's hard to keep them apart, but I do appreciate when they let us know, especially when it's like a B2C business that we would know about, not the private equity investor. I don't think I would know his dealings, but when it's like Lux Club, I'm like, oh, okay, cool. Yeah. No, I like, I appreciate the reference, but I always just like my eyebrows perk up a little bit. Like it's planted by someone who has a large majority stake in the Lux Club.
Starting point is 00:48:52 I just obviously have to wonder if they met on Lux Club. Was Camila Cabello on Lux Club? And if she wasn't, then- Looking for a Jewish man. Then this is actually like bad advertising for the platform because it's like the CEO didn't even find his lady love on Lux Club. That's actually a really good point.
Starting point is 00:49:08 I'm glad you pointed that out because I doubt that they did. The Lox Club is a dating app, obviously, like for everyone, but it's mostly targeted towards the Jewish community. That's why it's called the Lox Club. But you don't have to be Jewish to join or if you're looking for a Jewish partner, you can join. But it's mostly centered around like being culturally Jewish. I choose to believe that Camila Cabello was on the Lox Club. Yeah, I would love that. I would love that too.
Starting point is 00:49:31 But it does make me, and I can't believe I'm saying this, I miss her and Sean. I like don't. They were so cute. Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that. Like I wasn't sure. They were so cute and they were so happy. They they were but there was also elements of weirdness there like a lot of their
Starting point is 00:49:49 you know stage paparazzi pictures um did you I don't know if you watch his Netflix documentary but we were like we get it you like Camila Cabello like it was a little like a lot a little a lot yeah also sounds like not doing well yeah so he's actually in hot water right now because he um canceled a show I don't know if he canceled his whole tour I think I maybe read that somewhere because he was wanting to focus on his mental health and he was posting on social media that he was at the beach with friends putting on sunblock and stuff and you know a lot of people were commenting like you're literally supposed to be doing a show in Boston tonight I'm at the hotel that I was supposed to be at because I couldn't get my money back and you're at the beach in
Starting point is 00:50:26 Florida um so it was giving anger and I feel like for Shawn Mendes's fans to like turn on him which like he could fart in a bowl and they would think it was literal salad um for them to turn on him like they must be really yeah but like canceling your show citing mental health concerns but then being on the beach with friends does jive you know you you should be able to right right it's not a contradiction it's not like you're doing things that are bad for your mental health the beach is extremely yeah and good for your mental health and being with your that is tough for people who bought tickets and aren't getting what they paid for and are kind of stuck.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Of course. Like, that's a... But see, I need to know more details on when the show was supposed to be and when he decided to cancel it. Like, is it giving Adele people on the plane? Yeah. What do you think is, like,
Starting point is 00:51:21 the minimum amount of time someone can cancel a show that's acceptable? Like a week? A week I was going to say. Yeah, me too. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure he thought about all those things when he made the decision to cancel
Starting point is 00:51:34 and still canceling out eight actually going and doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope he's doing well. Honestly, I truly wish him the best. I hope he finds love. Do you know like how everyone says it's giving share no and like this whole it's giving I mean I know it's giving it's everyone's favorite term it really blew up on tiktok because Shawn Mendes said it's giving share like when describing
Starting point is 00:51:57 something oh and he kind of coined the term it's giving he didn't coin it but people started using it a lot more because then they were like it's giving share and then they were just like it's giving he didn't coin it but people started using it a lot more because then they were like it's giving share and then they were just like it's giving got it okay i like the phrase because it's very i know exactly what we're trying to say like it's connotes this it connotes yeah but it's overused and it's going to be ruined in a few days yeah and it's giving over usage It's giving over usage yeah Okay are you ready for our fifth and final story I really am It's just a little random news about everyone's favorite guy

Starting point is 00:54:19 has had a who the fuck was ned stark fucking on game of Thrones? Not on Game of Thrones, but he's had a lot of other roles, including the movie Lady Chatterley's Lover, which is a big movie. He had a big sex scene in that. He's fucking? He was fucking back in 1993. So you could say his experience is a little outdated. Yes, but these days they're bringing intimacy coordinators
Starting point is 00:54:46 onto set to make it look better to stage the sex scenes more. And he says he thinks it would inhibit me more because it's drawing attention to things. Somebody saying, do this, put your hands there while you touch this thing. He said, I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise. said on lady chatterly's lover it was spontaneous it was a joy we had a good chemistry between us and we knew what we were doing was unusual because she was married i was married but we were following the story we were trying to portray the truth of what dh lawrence wrote he also spoke about television companies are at um advertising advertisers censoring his work but anyways i want to talk about what
Starting point is 00:55:25 you think about sex scenes well I just want to say like Ned Stark um I like actually disagree with him and he sounds like a fucking creep honestly like I want to be natural like you're acting first of all so like what you're not upset that like you get directed in other scenes but you're upset when you get directed in the sex scenes like I don't agree with him at all and I think that like those intimacy consultants or whatever I think a huge part of their job is making sure like both people feel comfortable and safe which is huge because I think a really big problem and I think they talked about this on The Affair which which was a show with a lot of nudity like a lot of the actors like talked about the environment just feeling really unsafe and awkward
Starting point is 00:56:02 and not comfortable um so I don't agree with this at all and like sorry you can't be naturally fucking someone when you're acting bitch like I don't agree at all oh that's so funny my take was kind of different but I do agree with you ultimately like yeah like that's a little weird I can't even imagine how weird it would be to one have to film a sex scene and then have someone there like telling you you're like doing it wrong and like you're just trying to do your thing I also just saw um like a related article about Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence when they had to film their sex scene for passenger they shared a bottle of wine before and then got to doing their thing and like I imagine it is really awkward and I think see I actually totally disagree I think being natural and having wine together before and like then maybe being like
Starting point is 00:56:51 kind of like weirdly intimate in front of people where you're supposed to be acting is weird I think if someone's there pointing out being very technical it makes it way less weird because it's so like obvious and prevalent that this is stage like it's acting but if you're gonna pretend to be natural and wine and dine someone and then have a bunch of people watch you pretend to fuck her I think that's actually weird then keep in mind if you if you're married or you have a partner and it's like you're trying to get into this and and be natural that's cheating I think it's weird And then of course it always brings me back. Do you know what I'm about to say?
Starting point is 00:57:29 No. To the guy from Desperate Housewives. That actor with platinum white hair. I forget his name in real life. Who refuses to kiss or be intimate with respect to his wife. So he won't accept roles where he has to kiss. And he was married and dating in Desperate Housewives. And he literally never kissed anyone. Because he loves his wife. So he won't accept roles where he has to kiss. And like he was married and dating in Desperate Housewives and he like literally never kissed anyone
Starting point is 00:57:48 because he loves his wife too much, which is like really sweet, but really fucking weird, honestly. And he should get a different job. Like, I don't think you have to kiss anyone if you're an accountant. No, but he's doing pretty good for himself considering he has that boundary.
Starting point is 00:58:00 And I think it's- Is he? Yeah, he gets plenty of roles. He's always the creepy guy in the background I've never seen him after Desperate Housewives oh no he's on other stuff hold on what was his name on Desperate Housewives Dave Desperate Housewives I feel like once a year we have this conversation and we like go to his IMDb I swear to god his his um, Neil McDonough is his name. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And he is also in, he was in Yellowstone. Oh, wow. Yep, he was one of those brothers, if everyone remembers. Good for him. I love him as an actor. I like him too. I just think it's like a weird flex. It is, but like if Ben were an actor, would you allow him?'m not put the thing is Ben's not an actor so I'm not doing that
Starting point is 00:58:49 but okay I think it's both really weird like I think like to be to not want to do it and like refuse is kind of weird but I also think like the way in which trained actors like are so flippant and like carefree about it like not even acknowledging at all even the slightest bit that it's weird like they're like no they're like it's not weird but like it is and you can acknowledge it and still do it for a living but like why are you lying to me they're like no it's literally just like sitting down and doing a scene except you're kissing someone like the ignorance and like the refusing to admit like the smallest bit of awkwardness like that I think is just as weird as refusing to do it all together I think there's a
Starting point is 00:59:28 difference between like the kissing scenes and sex scenes yeah yeah of course of course and some of these sex scenes are out of control like I think back to like how Joan Rivers always used to say she couldn't say gay on television on on cable. So she used to say dancer when she meant to be speaking of like gay men. And how we went from that to like, literally I just watched, I mean the other day I saw a butthole. Like it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Yeah, it is crazy. And also these comments are coming at the same time as the House of the Dragon prequel, Game of Thrones prequels coming out. And apparently like it is so sex scene like more than ever really yeah well game of thrones was so sexy and then like then there was no yeah well then the plot had to carry on and there was like no time for all this gratuitous sex but apparently the new show is sex up the wazoo wow i mean i'll never forget having to watch brother and sister you know
Starting point is 01:00:27 do it doggy style in that tower at uh white what's the place called in the north the snow where the snows lived why can't winterfell that was really one of the most shocking things I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. I'm really excited for the show though. It premieres. Me too. And I'm excited to recap it because those were the good old days when we recapped Game of Thrones. Some of the best times of my life. Some of the best times. It premieres August 21st on HBO Max House of the Dragon.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Speaking of HBO Max, you know, we spoke a little while ago about how Elvis was going to be put on HBO Max. You know, they've decided not to put it on HBO Max. Unlike Warner Brothers has this partnership with HBO Max, 45 days in the theater, everything goes on HBO Max. I guess it's doing so well in theaters. I don't know for a fact that this is the reason, but what I presumed is that it's doing so well in theaters.
Starting point is 01:01:22 They're not going to pull it and put it on HBO Max. I'm happy for them, but I'm sad for us, but I'm glad it's doing so well in theaters they're not going to pull it and put it on hbo i'm happy for them but i'm sad for us but i'm glad it's successful i'm devastated one thing to say dog play i get it fraud i get it you understand you want to have anyone a man you ain't a man you want a man i want a man hound dog hound dog hound dog you ain't nothing oh you know the woman who sings um the hound dog part in that doja cat song who i believe is also in the film and plays big mama thornton i'm not% sure because I haven't seen it but I think that might be what it is she passed away like a week ago maybe two weeks ago so sad 40s terrible oh crazy oh well those were the past five I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to see longer longer to see Elvis uh which is fine because I haven't seen Top Gun, haven't seen Summer I Turned Pretty,
Starting point is 01:02:28 haven't seen literally anything in 12 years. So fine. Same. And those were the stories you needed to know them. I feel good about letting you guys go into the world with the rest of your day, like being educated and knowing these stories. Yeah.
