Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the morning toast and happy.
Friday, Friday, gotta get down on stride-ay.
Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend.
Friday, Friday, getting down on stride-ay.
Hello everyone, happy Friday, or should we say happy stride from Jackson, Claude, and Raz, and Strice.
The four of us are here to kick off the weekend with just like a gorgeous energy.
The gang's all here.
I actually feel as though we need to start, you know, giving credit to the Strice Brothers.
Like, this is a four-person podcast.
Yeah, and we need four microphones.
We need four microphones. We need everyone on the artwork we need new artwork but in due time yeah
uh I was just thinking because I realized it was Friday but I didn't have that typical feeling of
like yes it's Friday like we made it because this week has just been so pleasant because you're here
and every day is just like not as strenuous as the days before.
I was just going to say that like I'm like not even like excited that it's Friday
because that means like I'm leaving on Sunday.
Like that means the final part, the final installment of my trip here is coming.
And honestly, like I'm not down.
And I'm wondering if even when you're gone and I'm just like podcasting from home,
if Fridays are going to hit the same as they used to
because I'm just leading a more peaceful life.
I think eventually like when you get into like a,
when you really actually live here, like you like for sure live here.
Yeah, the daily grind.
You'll get back to like that week.
Everyone, you always say the great equalizer is the week.
So even people who live in the suburbs, you know?
Yeah, that's true.
Plus on the weekends, I do get to sleep in and that's.
Next level.
Even if everything else about the day is pretty much the same.
Sleeping in is always going to be my personal favorite pastime.
Speaking of sleeping in, I have to tell you, I'm two days in a row of having full blackout
sleep here.
Like, you know, the nights where you just are uninterrupted, like you close your eyes
and you will open them and then it's your alarm.
Like it's so I barely get like rarely get it at home. I'm here two nights in a row. I think it has a lot
to do with the peaceful energy you've cultivated, but also a lot to do with the fact that on
Wednesday night I got two hours of sleep. I think it's more so the first one, because sometimes when
you, even though you got two hours of sleep, like it doesn't guarantee that the next night you're
going to sleep really good. Like you could be in a really bad pattern. So true. But we're breaking the cycle.
We are breaking.
It ends with us.
Like we're bringing the cycle.
So I just wanted to say like kudos to you.
Ben is loving the bed like he would.
And he's so you think I'm particular and difficult to host.
Ben could find fault in like a Michelin star restaurant.
And he has like.
Yeah.
He has a really hard time giving compliments.
He's extremely particular.
And he's made multiple comments without even me prodding.
Like, how great is this bed?
He picks up like, oh, this bed.
And he's, I can't really stress.
Like, he's fucking judgmental, not me, bitch.
Well, I'm so glad.
And what about Theo?
He's really like, he's Ebert and Roper.
He's the critic that you want to please.
Theo's really like a love who you're with, love where you are kind of guy.
Like, I wish I had that kind of spirit.
He's very much happy with what he's given.
He doesn't know luxury from standard.
He's really kind of reached a level of like equilibrium and peace with the world,
which is what we should all be striving for.
I'm super far from that.
So he could be happy anywhere.
So no offense.
Like his seal means nothing. I think he's extra happy here because not only does he have everything that
he needs, he has his cousins and he has his auntie. And I feel like he's having a good time,
even though he's like that grumpy old man walking around saying, what are you kids up to? He's
Squidward. Yes. And Bruno and Magnolia are Patrick and SpongeBob. Bruno is SpongeBob. There's never been a better comparison.
Magnolia is Patrick. Is Patrick. He is like a combo of Squidward and Mr. Krabs because he's
like in charge, but he's also like a boring old man. Yeah. He gives Squidward sometimes and he's
still, even Squidward is having a good time. That's how you know shit is rocking when Squidward
is smiling. That's what we should have named them imagine squidward's a
kind of a cute name actually yeah well that's an interesting thing when we do meet and greet so
many people bring their dogs and it's so interesting to see what people name their dogs yeah what did
that what was the name that we were like was it popcorn there was snorkel snorkel thank you there
were so many dogs at the meet and greet and i'm always just interested to see what people name
their dogs yeah i had such a bad dream about bryce I know don't worry do you want to talk about it so realistic and in the dream I do this
thing in my dreams where I'm like this is probably a dream like let's get out let's go to the next
one escape and sometimes I'm in such a deep sleep I can't get out of it I'm like let me out it's
mental warfare I just have to trust the process and know that I will wake up and Bryce will be
right there and know that you'll grow where you're planted. Bloom where you're planted. Yes. I hope you will. I hope you will.
I'm sorry that you've been through that. I've been through that many times in many nights and
there's really nothing, nothing that can prepare you for like a dream that's so reality that is
your worst fears come to life, you know? My angel Bryce did. I know. He didn't deserve that. No.
And you know, in the dream, whose fault he didn't deserve that no and you know in
the dream whose fault it was air maze it was no it was mine for shopping at air maze yeah jackie's
like dreaming of purchasing birkins in the store and bryce gets it was like taking a really long
time you know when you go shopping at like a really nice store and you're like i'm gonna buy
this bag like please take my money and then it's like you sit there for 30 minutes while they
package it up it's like i'm trying to give you my money yeah no I think they like luxury shopping they try and make it
like an experience they offer you champagne I want to get the fuck out of there a good experience
is getting back to my bed so don't make me sit on this tiny little hard couch for more than like
bring out a receipt on a silver tray like if you're waiting for the tray because you guys only
have one and someone else is using it like just bring me the receipt crumple the receipt up and
put it in the back like I just want to go I found it to me I found what I'm looking for so that's what was happening in
my dream I was buying a Birkin and it was taking like 45 minutes to get it and I was just like
what am I doing you know you're sick like that's what you dream of buying Birkins like you're
mentally ill there was other things going on too for sure there were in dreams you know things
don't really make sense so it wasn't like buying a Birkin outright.
There was other things happening too.
Maybe the, let's try and extrapolate like a message from the dream.
You're buying a Birkin.
It's taking too long.
You're like so busy that you forget to take care of your dog and your dog runs out in the street and God forbid gets hit by a car.
What does that say?
Where are your priorities?
Maybe it's a, it's a statement.
No, I think it was like a fear and like
a warning not that I think my priorities are out of order currently but there's a lot going on don't
let them get out of order yeah or don't let your love for Bryce like slip through the cracks like
now you have a full-blown child my love for Bryce slipped through the cracks look what could happen
even though it literally has not I like my love for Bryce is just the cracks. Look what could happen. Even though it literally has not. My love for Bryce is just stronger.
Seeing him as a brother, a cousin, a boyfriend, a son.
It's one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed.
So I don't really know what the message was
because I couldn't love this boy more.
I couldn't give him more love and attention.
No, it's true.
I thought your priorities would definitely shift
a little bit away from Bryce when you had a child,
which is extremely normal. They have not. They're not wavering. They have not faltered
everything, everything you're LARPing just as much with Bryce as you do with roles in the
stroller on the bottom. He likes it there. That's so cute. He was chilling hard. That's like,
usually when we go for walks, he cries. If we're going for like a family walk, he's just like,
this is not, I don't know what this means. I do not feel safe. Yeah. safe yeah i don't feel safe i feel unsure so we put him in the bottom of the stroller
where you put like your stroller tings and he loved it sickening sickening so yeah i'm sorry
well while you were you know dreaming i was at a wedding last night which was just great for me
scheduling wise to be here be able to podcast go, go to a wedding. I looked gorgeous. I actually felt bad,
like, you know, stunting, stunting on the bride. No, I'm kidding. She looked so pretty. Um, I'm
just tired. Weddings are so much work, like on your feet, on your posture. Like you always have
to like, you can't be slouching at a wedding. No. Ew. So I'm really, my body feels heavy. I
need to go for a swim. Nice. I took my first bath here last night that's crazy because I've literally
taken four baths while I've been here you inspired me really because every night I'm like it's a long
night I want to take a bath but then I'm like it's a long night I just want to shower and get
I know so uh I did the bath and I um it was nice I'm happy for you it was nice it was also because
I had a clog did you shower before after nope wow look at you I hate when people are like yeah I can only take a bath if
I shower before or after I'm like good for you we don't care yeah no if I'm like filthy then I'm not
gonna take a bath I'm not gonna do an iron man and then take a bath you know like I'm just like
I podcasted today like I can I can take a bath without a shower yes um well today's a big day
let me tell you why it's's Friday. It's Striday.
Yep, yep.
Also, if you're a Patreon member, you know we've been extremely annoying.
And on my Instagram, teasing about this new TNN, new TNN, new TNN.
Big announcements, big things coming for TNN.
We've been particularly annoying because we haven't given much.
No, I know.
And there are a lot of things coming up for TNN.
And one of them is finally here. So we have a new show coming to TNN.
It is our first male show you know we're
really we empower female voices but we're open to all and we got so much great feedback from
my episode with Josh Peck people were like please Josh Peck and we get so much feedback when Ben is
on the podcast um so they have decided to team up you know they're really good friends that's how we
actually know Josh and that's why he came on the show um they're really good friends they've
like same funny like jewish chubby energy even though josh isn't chubby anymore um and they've
decided to do a show together it's called good guys because they are just like two good guys
we were coming up with ideas i'm like what's the vibe i like, you two are just like a bunch of good guys. And they're like, good guys. It's really like my idea. And I'm talking. So it is live now. The first episode
comes out on Monday. They're going to be dropping episodes every Monday and you can get it where
you get the toast, where you get your podcast, anywhere, Amazon, Stitcher, Spotify, Apple,
all the places. Make sure to subscribe, give a rating, you know, help the charts.
I've listened to the first episode it's so funny
they're really like they lead different lives obviously but like at their core they're the same
person it's so funny and the episode was so so funny and I have a hard time listening to podcasts
that like I'm not on I can't lie um and it's really I like I audibly cackled like four times
it's so funny it's so good It's such a great idea. They're
going to have so much fun doing it. And I feel like you guys are going to love it. Yeah. I think
everyone loved Josh's episodes. They loved. So I think if you're a Josh girly, if you're a Bwunge
girly, you're going to love the podcast. So make sure to tune in every Monday. And that's the big
TNN mogul news. We, you know what? We were looking for a Friday segment. What about mogul news?
Mogul news.
Yeah, not every week is going to be a new TNN show,
but I do feel as though we're doing something moguly
at least once a week.
Once a day.
Once a minute.
Who are we kidding?
So that's the big news of the day.
You heard it here first.
TMZ, no comment, essentially.
My comment is I'm so excited,
and I think everyone is just going to really enjoy.
And that's what we do here at TNM. We're just trying to get you through the day. We're just
trying to give you content that you're going to enjoy to make your day better, go by quicker,
get you to lunchtime, get you to five o'clock. Yeah. So the more we can put out to get you to
lunch, that's what we, that's like why I wake up in the morning. I'm like the girlies need
content to hold them over while pretending to work.
And I'm glad.
I mean, I'm so happy to be our own boss.
Love what we do.
But I'm glad that we had that time in the corporate world to know what it's like to
watch that clock.
To know what it's like to just crave something to watch on YouTube, crave something to listen
to.
It can be a dark place.
And then the commute, like it never ends. It never ends. You need so much dark place and then the commute like it like it never
ends it never ends you need so much content to get through the day and like that's why we do what we
do that is why we do what we do i couldn't have said it better myself so tnn yeah that's what we
do we need like a slogan kind of how like what have you got to lose tnn we'll get you to five
o'clock chillsless I love that
New logo
We need to rebrand immediately
We'll get you to five
And the way you said it too
We'll get you to five o'clock
Love it
Love it
I mean we should like
Come up with slogans for ourselves
Considering we do it for like
Every brand
And we should come up with
A song for TNN
Okay how about this

Jackie O.
Raz and Shazam.
Goosebumps.
No, we need to come up with a song for TNN.
We can't force these things.
We can't force these things.
But just keep that in the back of your mind.
Yeah.
And that's our homework.
Okay.
Do we have a great show for them today?
We do.
I picked the stories because I was ready early.
Jackie was, you know, being a mom. And they're not great i'm not gonna lie to you um and i saw the most i hate to like respond to comments but like i saw the most annoying comment to like
really grind my gears okay i guess there was like an episode this week where we were like
the stories are meh people like well if the stories are meh why don't you just choose different ones
like because the other ones are worse yeah
where what's what suggest do it like it was like like we're choosing bad stories intentionally
yeah no some days like shit pops off other days not so much no and like this weekend i just know
we're gonna be it's like ben and jen wedding bliss and like we're gonna be inundated this
weekend i'm curious to see who's gonna be there i'm curious to see who's going to be there. I'm curious to see who's going to officiate, but I'm not curious anymore because I chose the story and then Jackie took it out. So
just update everyone. Jay Shetty, which like, who cares? I really didn't know who that was.
That was before you read this story. Yes. But the reason why I just want to talk about it,
and I guess we are talking about it now, is because he's a podcaster and that's just a
win for podcasts. Like that was really all I was going to say. I agree. But like everyone is a podcaster now that like, if you're not a podcaster first,
I don't care. That's like saying he is a podcaster first. Okay. Fine. Fine. And his podcast is like
enormous. It's up there with like armchair expert. Yeah. But that's like being like Jason Bateman.
He's a podcaster. That's a win for podcasts. Okay. Well that's not, not Jay Shetty, but I'm
just saying like now that everyone has a podcast, I know what you're saying Not Jay Shetty But I'm just saying like Now that everyone Has a podcast
No I know what you're saying
Jay Shetty is a professional
By trade podcaster
Okay I love that for him
Jason Bateman
That's interesting
Because he's definitely an actor
But he has like a top podcast too
No I know
For a really long time
Conan
Oh shit
There are certain celebrities
Who toe the line
Dax Shepard
Podcaster
These days yes
But
Because he was never That big of an actor. Like every real housewife has a podcast
so it's not just being like. No, there are certain people who I definitely
I think toe the line. You just happened to name literally all three of them
Dax Shepard, Conan, and Jason Bateman.
I still would say Jason Bateman is an actor. I would say
because Dax Shepard was really never that big of an actor.
He was mostly like a professional husband.
His podcast is so big.
Like, he's a podcaster now.
Good for him, you know?
Yeah, he really crossed over.
He did.
But there are people who are famous pod, like us.
Yeah.
We are podcasters.
Yes.
A hundred percent.
Then there are famous people with podcasts that do really well.
Then they start towing the line.
It's like, are they a podcaster or an actor?
You know?
Yeah.
It's always the actors.
Get away from us.
Like, can we have one thing?
Can we have one thing?
That was like that Tim Dillon podcast where he was talking about how everyone has a podcast
and soon we're just going to have to like go meet in the woods.
Totally.
Like the true podcasters.
True.
Wait.
RPK.
Real podcasters now.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
But you know, there's space for everyone.
We welcome all to the community.
Well, we welcome all, but I don't know if there's space for everyone.
There is, because it's infinite.
I know.
It's not like TV where there's only so many slots and so many channels.
Like, there could be infinite numbers of podcasts.
But, yes, that's totally true.
But podcasting as an art form definitely weeds out the week.
I think everyone thinks like I could talk for an hour once a week because most podcasts
are weekly and then they start doing it.
And there's so many podcasts that start and never really finish.
So that is validating in a sense.
Like it's not something everyone can do.
Like, and it's not that easy.
Agreed.
So many people started podcasts, especially in COVID.
And it's interesting to see who's still around.
Yeah, no, I like to watch the landscape shift.
I love to watch the landscape shift.
I'm a landscape watcher shifter.
Yeah, it's a beautiful view.
Life's a climb, but the view's great.
But the landscape of podcasting is great.
It's shifting evermore.
Okay, I think we can dive in, right?
I think that we could dive into the Fast Five stories that you need to know
before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.
And today's episode is brought to you by Spritz Society.
End of summer?
We think not.
At Spritz Society, we're keeping the season going strong through Labor Day weekend.
Celebrate the endless summer by stocking up on all of the original flavors, grapefruit,
blood orange, pineapple, and lemon with our variety eight pack. As you guys know,
Jackie and I are co-founders of Spritz Society canned cocktails. Really the only beverage you'll
ever need, period. Period. And a Diet Coke, but okay. And a Diet Coke. And I guess like water
to live, but whatever um we launched with four flavors
they were popping off and then we just announced a fifth one which is peach which is kind of like
taking over as the best one just saying um and so you can add the newest flavor peach to your cart
then get the variety pack which has all four flavors two of each cans and you'll get the
complete Spritz Society experience and of course we have a code, a bigger and better code than yesterday, ready?
Get ready for Labor Day weekend.
Use code LDW, as in Labor Day weekend,
20, LDW20, LDW20,
for 20% off all your orders of $85 or more.
Chars with code LDW20 for 20% off.
Great, thank you so much.
It's a pleasure.
Today's stories are in no particular order.
So just do it that way you will.
They're all, I actually like what you did with the stories.
Bingo.
Are you ready for our first story?
Very sad story that has been developing throughout the last two weeks.
But Jaclyn Hill's ex-husband, John, passed away.
She said his death is the saddest, weirdest thing.
I just want to say, like, not to make light of,
but it sounded like the way you pronounced it
was that his last name was passed away.
You said John passed away.
Jaclyn Hill's husband passed away.
Yeah, you said Jaclyn Hill's husband John passed away.
Oh.
Sorry, like, I know that's really inappropriate.
I did say that.
But I just, just like, oh, I didn't know that was his last name.
Oh.
No, but it's Hill.
That's why her name is Jaclyn Hill.
Jaclyn Hill described her late ex-husband, John Hill's, death and her grieving process
as the, quote, saddest, weirdest thing, given they had been divorced for five years.
She said, quote, I'm at the point in my grieving process where I just have to trust it and
see what happens every day.
Right now, I'm just kind of done sharing this with millions of people, and I just kind of
need some privacy on this subject.
Totally.
She said that although they had not been romantically involved for years,
she and the drummer remained close.
She said, quote, we still kept in touch and talked.
It's so much you guys trying to go through it publicly.
It's just making it so much harder for me.
And do they have details in there about how he passed?
He, I believe, was struggling with addiction.
The autopsy results will take months.
The cause of death has been deferred pending further testing.
So I don't, like, follow Jaclyn Hill, but a lot of people do.
And for a really long time, he was, like, a huge part of her content.
So it's definitely weird to, like, and then he wasn't, you know, because they got divorced.
And, like, two people you were watching consistently, like like one of them is just cut out of the story.
So I think it's like definitely challenging to grieve this way because like so many people
felt like they knew him.
And it's also-
And they weren't together.
Right.
So then it's also challenging to grieve someone you were in love with, but aren't anymore.
Yeah.
And someone who like at one point was every minute of every day for you and now,
and hasn't been for five years. And so she did a Q and a a little while ago,
like maybe a couple of weeks and somebody had asked about John and she was like,
you know, um, no one's really heard from him. And I think like when you're dealing with someone who
is struggling with addiction, that's like never a good sign. So this is just like a really sad
story and one that's like difficult because so
many people like they feel entitled to grieve him too and like want to grieve with her but she just
has to like protect her peace yeah and she needs like her own time and space yeah but also I think
people want updates from her and it's like this isn't either typical I think grieving on social
media is like especially not like we talked about Olivia Newton-John when it's someone that you know
you know someone going through grief on social media grief on social media about someone who
was also on social media with you at one point and then not like there are so many different layers
it's very complicated and her like navigating through it right now I imagine it's a whirlwind
and like he's not really her family anymore so So she has to respect his family's privacy, how they want it to be handled.
So it's like a really it's a weird situation.
Yeah.
And I will say, I don't know a ton about Jaclyn Hill, but like what I do know about her peripherally,
just like she comes up on my TikTok a lot.
And now I think I actually follow her.
And then she had like a lot of scandal with her makeup line.
Just everything I know about her actually makes me really like her.
Me too.
Especially because I know she went through like a lot of physical changes online and people were so fucking mean
to her um and she like handled it all with like a lot of grace which is like couldn't be me um so
I just really like her even though I don't know like a ton about her yeah no anytime I like watch
her videos over the years I really liked her I still use champagne pop every single day I forgot
that's her I'm wearing it right now,
even though it's been discontinued.
The one that I have has last me years,
like great fucking product.
Champagne Pop was like,
changed the beauty industry forever.
I'm wearing it right now.
It was like a collab, right?
With Becca and Jaclyn Hill.
And now Becca Cosmetics is done, right?
Finished.
There's been a few makeup companies that are kaput.
Bite Beauty just went.
Really?
Yeah.
But I mean, how can they not?
Yeah, Becca, you're right.
I remember we did a story in our old pink studio about it.
No, no, no.
In the windows.
Oh, was it the windows?
I believe.
Well, with all these new, like there's a new makeup company popping off every single day.
And there's really, it's not like podcasting.
There's not enough space.
My face is only so big to wear so many brands.hora is only so big you can only be so many little
you know it's finite yeah it's not infinite there are only so many departments yeah so I'm surprised
this doesn't happen more yeah when you go up against like the celebrities every influencer
Jaclyn and now Jaclyn Cosmetics like after their first initial launch with the hairs on the lipstick
they got together I see people reviewing her products all the time and it apparently is very popular.
So there's just really not enough space.
I'm surprised it's just.
There's not enough space because there's not enough face.
You're with the slogans today.
Slogomania.
Slogio.
Slogio.
So I'm wishing Jacqueline the best.
I really like her.
Yes, me too.
And I hope that she like finds peace and is able
to navigate it on social media and take the space on her own that she needs whatever she needs you
know our next story is a kind of crazy beef between Amandla Stenberg and a film critic this is so
weird I saw it on TikTok and I was like what the fuck is going on okay so Amandla Stenberg uh is
slamming a film critic over the bodies bodies bodies Bodies, Bodies review and alleged DMs.
I'm going to take it from the top because I read it and there's a lot here.
A film critic shared a screenshot appearing to show a sternly worded message
from actress Amandla Stenberg following a recent review of her film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.
After New York Times writer Lena Wilson reviewed Amandla's latest
on-screen venture, A24's horror film helmed by 20-somethings, her Instagram DMs were seemingly
hit with a message from the star herself, who plays Sophie. Lena Wilson's review of the film,
which also stars Maria Bakalova, Lee Pace, Rachel Sennett, and Pete Davidson, was somewhat negative,
and it seems as though Amandla had some choice words for the writer.
The woman wrote in her review,
the only thing that really sets Bodies, Bodies, Bodies apart
is its place in the A24 hype machine,
where it doubles as a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage
and Charlie XCX's latest special.
So then the critic shared a screenshot of her DMs
with allegedly a message from Amandla saying, quote,
maybe if you had gotten your eyes off my tits, you could have watched the movie.
Then the critic tweeted alongside the screenshot saying, do you think she Instagram DMed Alison Wilmore,
Justin Chang and Anthony Lang lame like this or dot, dot, dot?
In a follow up tweet, the critic claimed that Amandla's DM was somewhat homophobic.
She said, quote, always weird when the homophobia is coming from inside the house,
but this is something.
I don't know if.
So then Amandla has responded.
Oh.
She.
So Amanda's comment generated backlash after it was posted to Twitter by the critic.
But the actor said in her own Instagram video
that she was just trying to be funny with her message.
She said, quote,
I'm receiving a lot of commentary on the internet
for being a very naughty girl
and for sending a DM that I thought was hilarious.
There's a film critic and her name is Lena Wilson.
She described Bodies, Bodies, Bodies
as a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage,
which I thought was hilarious.
I'm proud that a piece of work I was a part of
was described in such a renowned publication. I thought it was hilarious which I thought was hilarious I'm proud that a piece of work I was a part of was described as such in such a renowned publication I thought it was hilarious I thought
because Lena is gay and I'm also gay as gay people we would both find this comment funny
wait is Amandala gaslighting us like yes yes I was also curious to know what Lena would say to
such a statement Lena decided to publish it and also says that I am homophobic for saying that. Okay, wait.
I did not see that Amandla had responded.
And her response is so confusing to me.
Yeah.
Because the whole thing is like,
first of all, the first-
Like who cares?
Nobody reads the movie reviews.
No, no, not even that.
But like part of putting out movies
is getting reviewed by film critics.
It's not like, and then,
and this is what the critic was saying.
It's like plenty of people reviewed this movie
and you only DMed me.
Also to like take a public review
and then like DM someone personally is weird.
Like she could have posted that.
Like, so the whole exchange is weird.
And then the critic shared, you know, Amanda's message. And I think then she like, it seemed like Amanda was trying and then the critic shared you know amandla's message and i think
then she like it seemed like amandla was trying to shame the critic the critic then shamed amandla
amanda's back to shaming the critic and it's like we're all losing wait okay my take on the story
like was so different before i saw that she had responded and her response is giving like it's
gaslighting what are you guys talking about i was being funny well like um i do think like amandala's dm to her i don't necessarily think it was homophobic
but impact versus intent like maybe the writer felt it was homophobic but i don't think that's
her intent also what the writer was trying to say is like she was the only like lesbian critic who
got a message from amandala that's why when she said like why did she dm all these other
people yes oh okay okay okay okay okay that's fair that's fair um it just seems like this is
great press for the movie so it's a win-win um i agree this is not amanda's first movie she's
been acting since she was in hunger games when she was like eight um and you're supposed to
be immune to this stuff and not everyone is. And that's fine.
This is like, I'm sure her PR team woke up in a tizzy.
Because honestly, it doesn't make her look great.
Like privately messaging one critic.
Like, who cares?
You're a movie star.
Like, go to a red carpet.
Go be fabulous.
Who cares about some writer?
About some writer girl.
And I don't know.
I can't really.
I don't know who's side I'm on. Because part of me is like, you know, in this climate, I don't, I think maybe this New York
Times writer could see how like, maybe that wasn't the most appropriate thing to say.
Like this movie's a 95 minute, you know, advertisement for cleavage.
But when I read the critics like take, she was basically saying that nothing about Amandla's
cleavage, but more so how A24 is known for exploiting young girls.
And it was a statement on that as opposed to like Amandla being promiscuous.
Right. But then Amandla said in this second statement, she said, it's quite surprising
the amount of commentary I receive on my boobs. I wrote this tank top in this movie because me
and the costume designer felt it fit the character well. I do get tired of people talking about my
chest. There seems to be a lot of unwarranted conversation about my about my chest well now here's even more unwarranted conversation about your chest
but uh anyways what I'm just wanting to point out is that she wrote the tank top into the movie
and I feel like it's the kind of movie where they're wearing the same outfit the whole time
like it's a horror movie it takes place in one night and so it's 95 minutes of everyone in the
same outfit and she chose this tank top well that can be frustrating for a movie watcher like change
your clothes someone who like loves costume design.
Right, right.
I mean, this doesn't make me want to see the movie more or less.
I hadn't even heard about it.
But Pete Davidson is in it.
So like maybe I will.
All in all, I don't really have a take here.
It sounds like a little bit of, you know, loser on loser crime.
Yeah.
Like everyone's coming out of this a loser.
And I really don't see anyone being particularly right
or particularly wrong.
Amanda is definitely taking the L, I think, a little bit more
because it's like this big, fancy movie star
attacking this little innocent writer.
But again, I just don't care.
Yeah, she ended her statement with,
Lena, I thought your review was hilarious.
I thought my DM was-
Oh my God, the gaslighting.
I thought my DM was funny.
I did not mean to harass you. I do not wish you any harm. You're
allowed to have criticism on my work and I'm allowed to have my criticisms of your work. I
wish you the best. So was it criticism of her work or was it funny? I just think maybe it was a joke
for Amanda, but like, I don't think they've ever met before. You know, when you're sliding in with
a meanie joke, like making fun of someone's work, like it's very easy to be misinterpreted.
No, for sure.
Especially when there's a power dynamic.
Like this is a big movie star
with like a writer who she's never met.
Yeah.
Like you're not gonna immediately think
this big movie star,
after you just wrote a bad critique of her movie,
is sending you a message that's in a joking manner.
You would probably think of it's more
as like in a mean manner.
Yeah, I could see that this,
like she meant it as a joke.
Like I could believe that,
but I also could imagine receiving it
and be like, yikes.
Yikes.
Yeah.
So yeah, I don't know.
I just think nothing good comes out
of like reading reviews, honestly.
Like if I was an actor,
I would never read reviews.
It's the same way like a lot of influencers
like go out of their way never to check
like those threads about them. Like it's not good you got to protect your peace you did
your best in this role and that's the best you could have done we're all just doing our best
but here's some press for the movie that I personally hadn't heard of before right so
that's good and who knew a24 was like this controversial production company do you know
what it was yeah like I've seen their you know before movies and before trailers come out it's always like searchlight you know they'll show like Yeah, like I've seen their, you know, before movies and before trailers come out,
it's always like,
Searchlight, you know,
they'll show like the logos
and I've seen A24
like a million times.
I think it's just like popular.
But I guess they have
this reputation.
Who knew?
Okay, but like,
they didn't choose the tank top.
That's so true.
She said that she did.
That's true.
So I guess they're not
exploiting women, young women.
In this scenario.
In this instance.
In this one.
Yeah.
Okay, are you ready for our next story?
Yes.
I'm going to move some things around just to keep it light.
Kylie Jenner reveals she almost had this K name.
So Kylie shared on TikTok, she did a trend that-
People are sharing like, my name is blank, but I was almost named blank.
Right.
So it's my name is Kylie, but it was almost Kennedy,
which I find so surprising because it's so similar to Kendall and they call Kendall Kenny.
True. Maybe at the end of the day, that's why it wasn't. But I didn't even think of that. I was
just thinking, okay, so what if it was Kennedy cosmetics, Kennedy Jenner? And I think her life
would be the exact same thing. I don't think it would have, I think it would have been so cute
and it wouldn't have changed anything.
Kennedy is a really cute name.
Of course, my mind goes to Kennedy Armstrong,
Taylor Armstrong's daughter,
because it's really the only Kennedy I know.
You know, it doesn't go to the Kennedys?
Not as a first name, no.
Oh.
Kennedy, like as a first name,
is literally Taylor Armstrong's daughter
who had a $60,000 birthday party.
Yeah.
And that's, I didn't think about like what all the,
the brands would be called.
Kennedy's skin.
No,
there's something about Kylie being two syllables.
And then it was just a great name for Kylighter,
Kyliner.
I don't know what you could have done with Kennedy.
Yeah,
it's true.
So in an episode,
in the season finale of Kardashians,
Kim was talking to Chris about like naming the girls
that Kendall was almost called Juliet.
And then they talked about how she chose Kylie.
She said, Kris said, quote,
we just kept saying Kendall and Sophia,
Kendall and Jane, you know,
trying to think what went with Kendall.
Oh, that's cute.
It was Kendall and you know, Kelly.
Then when we got to Kendall and Kylie,
we went, that's it.
Kendall and Kylie have to go together.
Oh, but I, okay. So I guess I was surprised that they would even entertain the name because it's
so similar to Kendall, but now it's like, that's exactly why they entertained it. Yeah. Kendall
and Kennedy. That's cute too. If they were twins. Yeah. Sisters. But you know, I feel like twins,
especially when they're younger, like go through some sort of identity crisis of like having their
own independence. And if your name is literally one letter different, that makes that journey that much harder.
For sure.
And I used to feel like having twins was, you know, not like,
I wouldn't have wanted to have twins,
but now like having like being a mom and being pregnant,
like it sounds like a dream.
Oh my God.
So much fun.
Their names have to work together.
So much fun.
Saves you five years of your life.
I would like to have quintuplets the first time.
Yeah.
Okay.
It'll be a rough three years.
But not even just from like the parent perspective.
Like I also think like I can now see it as a sibling.
Like if we were twins,
like, and I just think that parents have to go out of their way
to make sure like that kids have their own thing going on.
Identities.
But I think like it could be grand slam for everyone.
I completely agree.
And then you have like a built-in best friend.
Yeah.
And of course, I think there's some years in puberty
where you go through a rough patch, like hating your twin. Cause it's like, God, I just want my own life. And then you have like a built in best friend. Yeah. And of course, I think there's some years in puberty where you go through a rough patch, like hating your twin
because it's like, God, I just want my own life. And then the older you get, you are so appreciative
that you've had this like partner through your whole life, especially if you're watching like
three identical strangers, just like how biologically connected twins are triplets,
like just everything. No, I agree. I used to be like, oh, my God, everything. I used to think
like being a twin was like the worst thing. Like, no, I want to be my own person. I would hate to be like grouped
up. No, I think there's so many benefits. I think literally like being born with a best friend,
of course, siblings are always best. Well, they should ideally be like you're in the womb with
someone you're in the crib with someone that warm. I really three identical strangers really
changed my perspective on it, too. Like how, how you know just biologically how like impactful it is and but I do think when it comes to twins as
you grow up there's at least some you know um interesting scenarios that you get get yourself
in like I always think like and I think I asked Lauren Lane this because Chris Lane has an identical
twin I'm like do you ever like see the twin be like hot I mean because logically you think this
person's attractive so an identical twin logically could go for the same for
a sibling that looks alike yeah but like looks alike is different than identical we all know
have you seen Chris Lane's twin yeah but like I think there's always like a little bit of
difference with twins so if like a freckle if you have the one that you that like you love and you
want thing you'll always think of like the other one as like the one that's a little different. Yeah, I guess that's true.
That's true.
You know?
And then you could marry other twins
and have biologically.
Siblings.
Yeah.
Goals.
Goals.
Yeah.
No, I think twins are great.
I could have been good with Kennedy Jenner.
Yeah, but I'm glad we got Kylie.
She's such a Kylie.
And of course she is because that's her name
and you bloom where you planted.
But Kylie was the move. Do you know what your name almost was? No, I didn't have one of those. You did. I have a couple. Yeah. Alexis. Alexis. A little bit of Alexis. Could you
guys see it? Claudia. Alexis and Claude. I could see you being an Alexis. No. Like I could see your
face. Like it's not that far off is what I'm saying. But like you're Jackie O.
I'm Jackie O.
Yeah.
And then also almost Victoria, which I think I wouldn't have liked until last year.
Now that I'm obsessed with Victoria.
I love the name.
But I think it would have taken me a while to come to that.
I don't think I would like.
No, no, no.
Margot was almost Grace.
And I don't think me and Oliviaivia had backups i don't think so either
what was rolled almost nothing he was like always rolled right no um he was almost wolf
he was almost wolf thank god not one he's not a wolf and two kylie jane shit like how embarrassing
would that be oh my god you would have had to been like i was kidding i would have had to like
love the name so much that like it wasn't about Kylie. She just like threw it out there.
And I actually really do like the name.
Just not for me, like in any way, shape or form.
But like for another, go.
Yeah.
For Mr. Blitzer.
For Mr. Blitzer.
He's like the only person I know named Wolf.
And Tammy, that influencer has a kid named Wolf.
Oh, the one who was friends with Kylie and then thought that Kylie stole her name.
Yeah. She's the one who like fainted at kylie's birthday party right and was never invited
to another gala ever again yeah speaking of galas did you see i thought this was such an interesting
branding move the kardashians like threw an event like last night or the night before
and it was an 818 investor dinner slash meeting so everyone who was there was an investor in 818
and of course it was kylie kendall everyone orlando bloom i saw him i saw kim talking to him jennifer meyer jewelry she was an investor she
showed up which i thought was like such a random really good for her like get get your coin um i
thought that was like a cool way to market the brand a little bit with all the celebrities i
just thought i thought that was actually really smart and different. Also they came out with the 818 reserve bottle.
I was watching a video of it on Chris's Instagram.
It looks so premium.
I actually wanted to get it for you.
I thought seriously,
I saw it and I thought it was a sculpture of a pair of tits at first.
It's very beautiful.
It's sculpt.
Like it's different.
Yeah.
I think it,
I mean,
I don't drink tequila,
but like it's a nice looking bottle.
If it's like,
I wonder how 818 is doing.
Yeah. They work it hard. They work it hard. And, um, because of Kendall and because they had a
ton of money behind it, they were able to like launch immediately and get into every store in
every state, which has a liquor brand. You have to go state by state. It goes slow. Um, but getting
in the stores is one thing. Are people buying it in the stores? I don't know. I'm curious. Yeah.
Cause it was a lot of hype for it and I've tried it and I love the Kardashians and I love
tequila I won't go out of tequila is very personal more personal than comedy so to get someone to
switch their like go-to brand is really difficult what but like if you're at a party and all they
have is 818 like are you happy sad and different um I'm not happy but I'm not sad I was just like
oh I'll drink it but like I wish my
brand was here what's your brand Cosmigos everyone has like a brand they feel safe with
yeah and that takes time and it takes like industry like respect you know everyone's like
Cosmigos Cosmigos and I tried it I was like oh well if everyone loves it and it's good I love it
you know so I think those things take time got it but the branding is on fleek yeah no it really is and
they do cute events and whatnot though wait you saw for kylie's birthday they all went on a boat
and that video went viral of kim was like i want a shot which was crazy because kim never drinks
then she took a shot and spit it out and she was like that's literally disgusting she's going
through a breakup so she's taking shots and so everyone was like 818 818 and then kim was like
she tweeted i wish it was 818 but like how was it not 818 you
know i don't know was kendall there i don't think so i think maybe she was actually but
chloe wasn't and courtney wasn't but that's like so them everywhere they go they have all of their
things i know but like to be in a yacht like that's a lot of tequila to have to ship and it's like
just cargo and it's like it's it's possible that it wasn't I just feel like it was and I don't
think that's a statement on 818 if you don't drink tequila no matter the best is disgusting like yeah
it's not coffee it's gross like yeah so even if you're drinking the best tequila in the world
if you're not someone who drinks you're gonna think be like it's gasoline so i don't think it's an indictment on 818 as a brand i think they all
drink 818 you know a lot of the time but i think kylie like drinks 42 yeah because the thing
tequila is more personal than comedy but i think like just because she drinks 42 like doesn't mean
she dislikes 818 like you can drink both obviously you know literally but everyone has like a brand
that they gravitate towards yeah and that's on the truth are you ready for our next story which is the one that
i swapped out yes for the j shetty and i think you're gonna really appreciate it okay because
it's friday which means we're going down memory lane and talking about hannah montana
the hannah montana casting director reveals which two stars almost wore the blonde wig over Miley.
Oh, I think I've heard this.
Because she was on TikTok.
It's a TikTok video.
Mike Super Show girl.
Who's that?
The girl from Cheaper by the Dozen.
Who's like, you know, the tomboy.
Alison Stoner.
Yes.
Nope.
That's not who she said.
So after.
Let me keep guessing.
Okay.
But.
Ashley Tisdale.
No.
Okay.
A TikTok video went viral claiming that Spanish Mexican singer Belinda was almost snagged for the role.
The actual casting director, Lisa London, set the record straight and posted one of her own videos on Wednesday to explain that this wasn't the case.
She said, quote, I'm actually the original casting director on Hannah Montana, and I discovered Miley Cyrus.
I wanted to let everyone know that Belinda, who is lovely by the way,
was never in the top three for the role of Hannah.
Maybe Alison Stoner was in the tops,
but this is top three.
Miley Cyrus.
Mm-hmm.
Taylor Momsen.
Oh my God, Jenny from Brooklyn?
Mm-hmm.
And Daniela Monet, who wound up being on Victorious.
Oh, it's so interesting how like,
and I feel like this is
so relevant because of Jeanette McCurdy's book. Like the child acting world is actually really
small. I imagine. There's not like a million kids clamoring to get like the, there's just like the
same couple of kids who, who were there at the same time. Yeah. And they all in one way or another eventually did something.
But this was a network test out of over 1,200 girls.
Those were the top three.
The name Chloe also was supposed to be the name for the main character before Miley.
It was supposed to be Chloe Stewart, but then they changed it to Miley Stewart.
Chloe Stewart is cute.
Chloe Stewart is cute, but I think there was a lot of names.
First of all, Miley's an iconic name, but I remember reading like a while ago,
there was already a lot of names happening
because you had Chloe,
then you have Miley, Cyrus,
and then you have Hannah Montana.
So they sort of fused it down.
That was like a thing they did sometimes,
like Raven, that's so Raven,
Raven Simone, Raven Baxter.
It really can make something truly iconic,
but it also makes the actor or actress,
it makes it really hard for them to break out
from being that person.
I actually don't agree.
I think that it gives them star power to another level.
It makes their career bigger and longer.
But I think for Hannah,
because she was able to differentiate
between Hannah and Miley, it was okay.
But if Hilary Duff, if her name had been Lizzie, it would have been even harder for her.
Maybe. Yeah. But I also think that's just a byproduct of being a child star. Like you're
going to be. That transition is hard no matter when and where it comes. Obviously. You're stunted
as that person. People are always going to assume. So if they're going to assume,
like Jeanette McCurdy was saying, like people just used to be like, Sam, Sam, Sam. And she was,
she hated being famous so much. She's like,
if people didn't even know my real name,
I would not take a photo with them.
But with Miley,
it's like they already did,
you know?
Yeah, exactly.
It just makes it more.
Infused.
You're,
you are that person,
but it could put,
set you up for bigger success.
And then it also just created the name Miley.
Like it was like a popular kid's name because of her.
No one had heard that name before.
Yeah.
I obviously think they made the right choice.
Like there's no one who could be like Miley.
Also, I think those other two girls would have really been the wrong choice.
One, because Taylor Momsen, obviously we saw her grow up.
She would not have wanted to be a Disney star and she would have rebelled in every which
way.
Like you thought Miley smoking salvia was bad.
Like, yeah, just wait till you see what Jenny Humphrey's capable of.
That's true.
Actually, she went through a tough transition.
She did not want to be a role model yeah and then Daniela Monet like
was great being Victoria's sister but she I she wouldn't have been my Hannah you know I don't
think she had like at the time the star power to carry an entire show franchise tour merch
everything that comes along with it and then with Miley we also got her dad who's literally one of
the best characters.
Yeah.
And it just made the whole thing
like really cool and relevant
in pop culture.
It was really nepotism at its finest.
Like Miley obviously had a leg up
on the other two girls
because she was bringing her dad
and because she was a famous kid.
Like, but I think that it worked.
It was perfection.
It was the perfect recipe.
No one could have done it like Miley.
And also it's like,
sure, you know, she does the singing, she has the dad, but like her comedic timing was so perfect for Disney one could have done it like my and also it's like sure you know she
does the singing she has the dad but like her comedic timing was so perfect for disney like
she was amazing but i think she probably got to the top of those 1200 kids because of her dad and
that's where i feel like the show wouldn't have been the same without the nepotism i think it was
an important it was the salt it was a pinch of you know yeah two important ingredient important
ingredients not not the story yeah
you put the um ipad down yeah sorry it was just giving fifth and final energy it was because like
i love to wrap up with miley whoa yeah that's how we should transition between stories we should add
a button you know how we have the crunch yes we need and we can have there's eight buttons we can program they could all be different oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah love love
our fifth and final story is a little financial news i know you guys love and trust when we
deliver financial news what did you say you bloom where you're planted oh you bloom where you're mcplanted i am you bloom
where you're mcplanted or it could be a directive bloom where you're McPlanted. I am. You bloom where you're McPlanted. Or it could be a directive.
Bloom where you're planted.
Bitch.
Bitch.
Love, love.
I love throwing a bitch at the end of anything.
You do.
Our fifth and final story, some financial news.
Just not really news because that would be really depressing,
but it's more of a positive story.
A success story.
It's good news.
It's good financial news for this college student who made $110 million trading shares of Bed Bath success story. It's good news. It's good financial news for this college student
who made $110 million trading shares of Bed Bath & Beyond.
A 20-year-old college student made $110 million
by selling his stake in retailer Bed Bath & Beyond
after the company's stock price surged
over a one-month period this summer,
an echo of last year's meme stock boom.
Jake Friedman, who was studying applied mathematics
and economics.
Bill Friedman.
F-R-E-E-M-A-N
I don't know Friedman is for sure Friedman I don't know no um he's studying those things at
U.S. those things like I don't need to say it again it was a mouthful we were literally talking
about this yesterday like if your major comes up in like conversation as an adult and like it
really doesn't unless you make 110 million dollars or you're currently still a student yeah uh he bought five million shares in bed bath and
beyond in july at just under five dollars and 50 cents a share he owned around 66 percent of the
company as a result of his investment on tuesday the stock price soared so soared to more than
27 a share regulatory filings reviewed by financial times showed that he sold more than $27 a share. Regulatory filings reviewed by Financial Times showed that he sold more than
$130 million worth of stock using his TD Ameritrade and Interactive Brokers account.
I'm not on the computer. Like I thought, wait, okay. So if he bought 5 million shares at $5 a
share, how much money is that? A lot of money. So he had a lot of money to start.
How? Maybe he's been trading like for a long time.
So because I thought it was like, you know, he took $100.
Right.
No, no, no.
It wasn't.
It wasn't.
Not to be rude.
It makes it like a little less impressive.
He bought how many shares?
Five million.
That's what you said.
Five million shares times five.
$25 million.
$25 million.
He was playing around with.
I mean, if like if this is what he does for fun, like maybe I'm.
Why would he still be in college if he had $25 million? He has been investing alongside his uncle who
was a former pharmaceutical executive. So maybe he was giving him the money to play with to his
like genius nephew who's studying applied mathematics. You know, I chose this as a
success story, but now it's turning into an investigation. How does a college kid have
access to $25 million? he's investing alongside his uncle
yet uncle um i'm i'm sorry he said that the initial 25 million dollar stake that he bought
in the company was made possible by raising money from friends and family so he must have really
believed in this like i thought they're making it seem like it was like oh i'm surprised i made this
much money what if your nephew okay like you don't have a nephew so like okay yeah no what if like in 10 years
Michaela's like coming to all of us pitching um I need seed money um I have this good feeling
about this internet stock um five million dollars we'll do the trick it depends what I know about
her up until this point is she like a kid genius is she studying applied mathematics and I've seen
her do incredible things along the way it's not like she just like woke up one day.
It's like, I think I'll be an investor today.
Yeah, yeah.
That's nice.
Nice to have access.
Do I believe in Kaler is the question.
Nice to have friends and family.
Yes.
Nice to have friends and family who like,
even if it's like a great idea,
have access to $25 million to like put together
into some sort of seed round.
Yeah, but it's not a seed round.
It's just, I don't know.
Wondering if, well, so everyone got like a great ROI. Yeah. But it's not a seed round. It's just, I don't know. Wondering if, so everyone got like a great ROI.
Yeah.
But did he put in any of his own money
or did he make $110 million for other people?
Well, the investor,
just like if this were, you know,
an investment house,
like they get a cut.
Yeah.
Curious.
I wonder if he has a girlfriend.
He does now.
He will.
He will soon.
We'll get the snatcher over there.
Yeah.
So happy for him.
Happy for him happy for him
it's nice i love love love 100 million dollars like i think that's really never a bad thing
really gorgeous yeah of course i think you should get something give some to charity
um after he pays back all of his maybe he'll run off with it we'll have ourselves like a
made-off situation we'll keep you posted for sure on the college kid with 100 million yeah
we were talking about majors and like what is an embarrassing major and what is
respectable.
And it turns out Margo's is embarrassing.
Margo has a really embarrassing major.
I honestly didn't know that about her.
Sociology.
Big yikes.
Big yikes.
Mine's media and communications, which isn't great, but given the work that I do, I think
it makes it fine.
It looks like this has always been your dream and you had lived a successful dream and that I bloomed where I was planted and my major is
history which if you know anything about me it shows that she studied what she loved yeah I
think studying history or English is like so standard you know it doesn't blink makes nobody
respectable it's not like oh applied mathematics right but it's applied mathematics political
science maybe you learned some interesting stuff Economics Those are all
Very respectable
Maybe you like
Learned some facts
Yeah
And read some good books
Yeah
Then there are the ones
That are
That are just like
It's giving low GPA
You know
Which by the way
I had a low GPA
So I'm not being like
No but at least
You're able to cover
A lot of people
Have a low GPA
But it's not
Something you lead with
No and like
it's so wasn't particularly high it's so important to stress how like having a high gpa means
literally nothing about you in the real world like i am i'm a mogul and at one point i was put on
academic probation like who wasn't no a lot of people no i really was you know you get an academic
probation when your gpa is below 2.0 i had gotten an f the one i spoke about earlier just took you down took me way down especially
when my grades weren't that great like the other classes were just like b's and c's i know but like
when you get an f you have to take the class over or um lose the credits lose the credit i actually
once got a d which is worse because it just sat there and it brought the whole ship down well i
never retook the class so i had the f and I lost the four credits. But as I've previously stated, I was taking vocal lessons every semester.
Right. Like you were one step further graduation. But I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's not like
I was trying to go to grad school. So right. I was taking vocal lessons for two credits every
semester. So I was always like in the surplus when it came to credits. So the four credits,
like I just like you could not pay me to take that fucking class again like i i didn't even care about the f honestly
so yeah having like a high gpa like good for you nobody cares go get a job here's the thing c's get
degrees c's get degrees and i just f's and d's don't i'll remember i'll never forget going to
my five-year high school reunion and like chatting with some of the kids in my high school who were
like the smartest like most promising and i was like what are you guys up to and they were like
oh you know I just traveled um looking for a job and then someone else was like yeah no I think I'm
going to fashion marketing and I was like but you had all the promise you're supposed to be like at
Goldman Sachs yeah so having a high GPA just means nothing honestly having street smarts like that
what you do with it it's all everything is all about what you do it's about having charisma
it's about having so many other things and like being able to crunch numbers but having nerve
you know charisma uniqueness nerve and talent no I'm not even kidding like putting yourself
out there and no totally risks and embarrassing yourself and honestly I feel like maybe being
really academically smart puts you at a disadvantage because like you feel like that's, that's the one and only way you need to succeed in
order to move forward in your life.
But there's so many other things involved with getting a job.
It's like, it's about, let's say you're, you're auditioning or interviewing for a job and
there's multiple candidates and you're like the one who's really good with the numbers
and really smart and has the highest GPA.
But then there's someone else who's, you know, a great team worker because he's very charismatic
and outgoing.
And so if you're so focused on just like getting a hundred on every
test, you're not learning other skills in school, which are really just as important. Being social,
being outgoing, being helpful, all these different things. Yeah. So just know if you get a C,
it's fine. But that's why you should like go for a job that really only cares about the numbers
and doesn't care about how you work with the other data scientists. Right. Like engineer.
No,
I'm not engineering.
I'm like,
what was that book?
I just read love hypothesis.
Like a scientist.
Yeah.
Yeah. Like it doesn't matter.
Like just what is your day to say?
Just do the job.
Right.
Accountant.
I don't need an accountant with a great personality.
Okay.
I just need an accountant who can crunch numbers and knows the law and knows
the loopholes.
Yeah.
I didn't say that IRS.
I did not say that.
Oh yeah.
You don't want to start with them.
No. Um, but if they do start with me, I will finish them. No, I don't say that. IRS, I did not say that. Oh, yeah. You don't want to start with them. No.
But if they do start with me, I will finish them.
No, I don't know.
That's my mission in life.
I'm taking down the IRS.
No, I'm totally kidding.
This is comedy.
They're more powerful than ever.
Don't come for me.
It's so true.
Okay.
Well, that's our show.
