Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Millennials! Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had an amazing, refreshing, rejuvenating, and relaxing weekend. Hey Jax, how you doing? I'm doing good. My weekend was all of those things, I think, except for the fact that I pulled my back out on Friday night into Saturday morning in my slumber. lumbar and it's still not a hundred percent. And like trying to be a mom with a tweaked neck and back is really challenging. And I'm just like Zoolander. Like I can't turn all the way. Zach keeps making fun of me, but it's also forcing my posture to be impeccable. Like I've just been sitting like this cause I can't move my neck down. And that's really took over my weekend. There are honestly few things worse in this life than throwing your back out not only is it beyond painful but you're also useless useless like on Saturday I really couldn't like pick Harry up out of the crib uh I could hold him like
Starting point is 00:00:58 sometimes but really useless yesterday was better it just hurts but you gotta power through no I fucking like some of the lowest moments of my life are when my back is thrown out and I keep forgetting to take Advil you know I'm just so busy like I should have taken it this morning I should have taken it last night and I just keep forgetting so I'm just in pain I'm so sorry that that happened to you but you know what the Lord giveth the Lord taketh away as well because the Lord giveth on Thursday night, at least for me, I haven't even spoken to you about this. I got home from my show in Red Bank, which was amazing. Thank you to everyone who showed up.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And my YouTube plaque had arrived. Has yours arrived yet? No. You know, with this move, you are like a couple days behind shipping wise. Like when I got my Jessica Simpson roller skates from Jessica Simpson herself, yours came like a few days later. Yeah. Ooh, that's so rough. rough well I'm glad you got yours first I'm and I'm very patient as a person so if anyone has to be on the delay I'm glad that it's me I saw that you got yours but I wasn't even like where's mine like I know mine will be here it will you have to trust in the
Starting point is 00:02:01 universe and trust the UPS that your packages will be delivered yeah so we got our 100,000 subscribers youtube plaque it was a huge a huge moment it wasn't one of those things that you anticipate and then it finally happens and it's like I keep walking back into the living room looking at it marveling at us at our business at our mogul energy and it's just a constant reminder and once I have it framed and hung on my wall it will just a constant reminder. And once I have it framed and hung on my wall, it will be a constant reminder that like we are amazing. Yeah, that's always nice to be reminded of that. Also, we keep, we actually stopped trying to remember to say this on the show, but I just want to mention something
Starting point is 00:02:38 that a few weeks ago we hit a different milestone of 900 episodes. Oh, I know we keep forgetting the day that it was the 900th, like right after we remembered and we were like, fuck it, fuck. But we are in the 900s, which means that in a few months we will have our 1000th episode. And I don't know what happens once you've done a thousand episodes of a podcast. Like does someone tape your mouth shut? Right. But I look forward to finding out and it's just fucking crazy I think once you hit a thousand episodes you automatically get canceled
Starting point is 00:03:10 no I think that happens at like 100 like the first 50 if you can survive like the first 50 I am curious though um who else in the podcasting space has hit a thousand episodes? Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan. Yeah, he has. Because his episodes are numbered and they're like 1,300. Right, right. So I'm wondering who else.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Because most people do weekly. Yeah. And it would have to be someone who's been around doing this for years. Because Joe Rogan started in 2011. What about the daily new york times let me google it they're always like above us in the charts and it makes me hate the new york times that's what makes you hate the new york times and the anti-semitism for sure that that'll do it but honestly the charts it's number of episodes 1598 damn okay I think it's definitely a very short
Starting point is 00:04:08 list and I hope one day where Hashem will be on it yeah that's very exciting for us so sorry we didn't get to acknowledge the milestone with you know a party maybe some balloons like we did our 700th episode we also forgot to acknowledge our 800th yeah we're just weird about like what we choose to acknowledge 700 because we realized it the other day before we got right it's not it's not even a choice it's just circumstance yeah but i do think once we hit a thousand and it will be in a while because we still have to do a hundred episodes which takes us about i think five months um once we hit a thousand i really we should have a party we're like one of those sitcoms that hits a hundred episodes, you know? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Totally. And then they get syndicated and they all get a cake. Yeah. And they all get big checks. I guess, I guess maybe we should get ourselves cakes. I'll send you one. You send me one. Um, so other than that, like my whole weekend kind of revolved around the plaque, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:01 it was like, what does the plaque want to do today? Does the plaque want to go out to lunch? Does the plaque want to go shopping? What did the plaque want to do today? Does the plaque want to go out to lunch? Does the plaque want to go shopping? What did the plaque want to do? Just lay in bed. And so I had no choice. I laid in bed the whole weekend. I read, I watched TV. It was very relaxing. I did not leave my house until yesterday. And that was simply out of necessity because I'm going on a trip for Labor Day weekend and your girlie has not one thing to wear. And so I had to get some clothing. And then I got home and something I've been meaning to do for like a really long time I did, which was clean out my
Starting point is 00:05:30 closet. And I'm really good about like cleaning out my closet every couple of months. This time I had waited like so long. When I tell you, I felt like I got out of a SoulCycle class when I was done, like driplets of sweat dripping down my face, neck, ass crack. I got, like, 10 garbage bags full of donations. It felt so good. And now I walk into my closet and I feel joy. I really do. I love that. I'm so happy for you.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Thank you. And everyone was like, you're organizing and cleaning out because you're moving. No, I'm not. You guys, don't push her. Don't push her. You won't like what you're going to see. You have to know. I feel like by now you know our personalities, our predilections.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Predilections. And you guys have to know not to push Claudia. She has to come to everything on her own. I couldn't push her into watching Downton Abbey. I couldn't push her into reading. I just have to make a light suggestion and let the chips fall where they may. Totally. Totally.
Starting point is 00:06:24 So no plans currently, just I appreciate an organized home, you know? That we know. The sweeper never stops. The sweeper never stops. Like, oh, you like something? You better watch it because I'm going to throw it out if I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah. No, oh, you didn't use it for five minutes? Garbage. Yeah, no, that's what I do. Oh, you haven't worn the shirt in a week? Probably better off donated. You don't need it. You don't need it.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I had one more thing to say. Well, first we have such it's going to be a nice long episode because literally the world did not stop turning we were so much we actually had to bump a story till tomorrow yeah which is good there was a lot of like you know jv stories that will be for tomorrow's episode if nothing else comes up but there's so much I actually I think it was Liz Hype posted on her Instagram story that like the publicists got back to work this week yeah and now from summer break everyone's back from summer break their stories and our cup runneth over I'm so excited and it's Monday which means everyone is going to be able to unburden themselves in the UB segment and last night was the second episode of house of the dragon the game of thrones prequel i watched it and of course i love watching it but i love watching it with the anticipation of knowing
Starting point is 00:07:31 we're gonna slay this recap yeah i just want to say now that we're talking about it two things like you were very right about one thing and then i was right about one thing but i was very wrong about something i was wrong about about Otto Hightower. Nefarious, nefarious as fuck. I don't know why last episode I thought that he like was fine. I thought he was neutral. Like not. What was I right about? You were right that Damon actually might be one of the good ones.
Starting point is 00:08:01 He's Jackie. He's like Josh and Ben. Good guys. He'll love me like you should Like you wrote the book One The kind you find When you don't even look
Starting point is 00:08:15 Everybody wants A good one He's good all the time Tell him sis He's one of the good ones. And he's all mine. That was not your best. I'm going to be honest.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I feel like. Gabby Barrett and I don't have the same pitch. What can you do? Speaking of good guys, there's a new episode of Josh and Ben's podcast. And there's like some drama. Like leave it to them. Second episode, like starting drama. Because as last week we teased,
Starting point is 00:08:47 there was like a really big interview coming up. Just go listen to the episode. They explain it in the beginning. And then they just do like a funny episode, but there's drama. Yeah. Big drama. Big drama.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Curly drama. Curly drama. Drama that hurts. Yeah. I wasn't sure if you were gonna say something I was so go check it out for yourself we'll stop teasing the drama just go listen to it when you're done with this but you're gonna want to listen to today's episode so anyways back to before I was singing you were right that Damon actually might be like the good one and maybe the king and his peeps like are the nefarious actors here. And I was right that Alice didn't, Alison, they didn't have sex that night.
Starting point is 00:09:31 It was, they were laying the foundation, which is exactly what happened. Yeah, I don't want to respond because then we'll get into the whole thing. And that will be for the TV recap after the past five. So if there's nothing else you want to say, I suggest we just dive in because there is a litany look at me SAT word litany of things we need to discuss most importantly Taylor's album notably
Starting point is 00:09:53 Kelsey Ballerini yeah I just wanted to discuss one more thing if I may sure sure and it's something that I'm looking at right now which is that you're wearing a simla no I'm not I'm wearing a romper oh really it looks like a simla from where I'm sitting for those who don't a simla. No, I'm not. I'm wearing a romper. Oh, really? It looks like a simla from where I'm sitting. For those who don't know, simla is dress in Hebrew, and Jackie refers to use the word dress ever since she rediscovered the word simla. Just because there's something about, like, when you're wearing a dress.
Starting point is 00:10:14 It's so feminine. Simla. When you're wearing a dress, like, it's just a simla. No, this isn't a simla. It's a romper from Show Me Your Moo Moo. I actually placed an order at Show Me Your Moo Moo last night because I decided to bloom where I'm planted and get clothes that fit me okay so I have like had a renaissance recently with show me your muumuu this is not sponsored
Starting point is 00:10:33 not at all I paid full price I don't even think honey picked up a code for me well um they sent me like so much new clothing for free and the sweater I wore last week that said howdy that everyone was like obsessed with is show me your muumuu it's sold out this romper show me your muumuu and honestly I think it's important to mention and promote brands that make cute shit not ugly shit because everyone's making ugly shit that makes shit that is good quality with like a decent price it's a little expensive but it's decent and brands that have a normal range of sizes. Like, so I'm always here.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I'm going to promote a brand that does that, even though I don't benefit from it at all, even though I do get free clothes. Yeah, no, that's really nice. I didn't know like you got free clothes, but you know what? I'm happy. You get what you pay for.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And I'm looking forward to, I'm looking forward to receiving my order that I literally placed last night. So it's such a coinkydink. And that's like like that was a real impetus for me to clean out my closet because they sent me such nice things I'm like these things deserve a nice place to lay yeah the rule general rule of thumb though I personally don't stick to it is that for every new piece of clothing you should remove a piece of clothing from your closet that you don't wear and donate it so that you never have like right now your closet is full I'm sure so you then you start stuffing stuff the more you
Starting point is 00:11:50 get but you really don't wear everything in your closet so if you could find a way to remove something for every new thing you would remain your equilibrium would be intact okay that literally never occurred to me and I'm going to do that. That's so smart. Oh my God, thanks. And by the way, what I do is when I clean out my closet, I make, I do, I clean out so big that I have space because then I get new clothing and I'm like, all right, now I can withstand the things that I get. You know, we're about to go into fall.
Starting point is 00:12:16 I'm going to need sweaters, you know? You're going to need sweaters. And I think I'm going to wear this hat to the party tonight. You know? You should. It's really sharp. Don't you think? You know, but I had something else to say. Is this year's pink?
Starting point is 00:12:30 I'm so musical today. You are. You're sounding like me. And now I really understand why it's annoying. I got bit with the bug. Ooh. Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum. I had something else that I wanted to say but i cannot remember oh i remember okay i started we are the brennans why margo recommended it to me then i went on
Starting point is 00:12:59 goodreads i saw you gave it five stars i did did? Yes. Oh, I must have been hit over the head. Oh my God. What a piece of shit. Literally. Okay. So this, just a little backstory. This was our Redheads book. Actually one year ago to date, it was a snitch's choice.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And considering it was a snitch's choice, we actually all, we all enjoyed it and we liked it. I don't know why I gave it five stars. It's kind of was like dreadful, but fine. Positively dreadful. First of all, give me a group of more unlikable characters. There was not one.
Starting point is 00:13:32 And I got through 30% and that's when I decided to, you know, protect my peace and not finish it. Literally give me one character who I could even remotely identify with. No, everyone was just out here
Starting point is 00:13:41 making bad decisions financially, bad decisions personally, bad decisions romantically, drinking and driving, like literally hated every minute of every word I read. Yeah, it's I wouldn't have recommended it for you. It was a good book for the redheads because there was like a lot of themes and characters and storylines to dissect. And because it was a departure for the snitch which we always encourage encourage of course speaking of which this month's book episode drops on Thursday we are recording tomorrow we read um everything I know about love by Dolly Alderton I'm about 60 percent in and I think you would like
Starting point is 00:14:16 that it's Dolly's memoir and it's really it not every moment, every story I'm obsessed with, but she really like captures something about your 20s that I'm really enjoying. And it's making me nostalgic, but not missing those days whatsoever. Yeah. Well, when I had to burn my Kindle after reading We Are the Brennans, then I went into something safe, which was like a spicy rom-com. And it was recommended to me. And it has a sequel. So I just want to say it's called A Not So Meat Cute. And then the sequel is called So Not Meant To Be. And don't be dissuaded by the
Starting point is 00:14:56 titles and the cover art. It's like really corny. They're both so cute, so funny. And like what I didn't expect, like I know what I'm going to get a book you know this one is gonna give me thriller this one's gonna give me porn this one's gonna make me laugh so I was not expecting the porn book to make me cackle so many times like I especially last night in the sequel I was reading something so funny the writer is like weirdly very funny and love and it's just a nice layer to like a cute romantic comedy vibe I have been cackling like just there's a few moments in each book that like genuinely make me belly laugh which is really hard to make me laugh in a book yeah oh but there's nothing better there's nothing better mostly I only really laugh at celebrity memoirs yeah I was thinking like Tom Segura made me laugh Claudia Oshry made
Starting point is 00:15:43 me laugh of course she did uh Gary Gennetti makes me laugh Sophie K Segura made me laugh. Claudia Aschere made me laugh. Of course she did. Gary Gennetti makes me laugh. Sophie Kinsella makes me laugh. You still haven't read one Sophie Kinsella book? No. Read one. It's just one of those things, you know, I'll read it in five years. Yeah, and be like, have you read Confessions? And then I'll start like a Sophie Kinsella Instagram fan page.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Literally. But you know what? I won't push you. I know you and I love how you are and everything about you. So I'll lightly suggest it and move on and not get too wrapped up in it. Cool, cool, cool. I'll get there. Yeah, you always do. Let's also talk about the week this week. It's Labor Day.
Starting point is 00:16:20 So there is no show Friday or Monday because I will be enjoying my time in Turks and Caicos. You should come and see me on your way home. Oh, you know what? I should. You should. I think that would be right. Okay, I'll think about it. And I know your shows would allow it.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Right. So my show. I have my Gwonsh tracker up in the studio. Just quickly promote. September 17th and 18th, I will be in the Pacific Northwest. I would love to see all of my PNW toasters, Seattle and Portland, the 17th and 18th. I will be in the Pacific Northwest. I would love to see all of my PNW toasters, Seattle and Portland, the 17th and 18th. Tickets available at girlwithnojob.com slash tour.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Great. I'm so excited for that. Obviously, construction workers for Gwung Tour are excited about it too. And now I think we've adequately plugged everything. I feel like, what else did I do? I just, I was honestly in back-breaking pain this weekend, and I was reading for the Redheads.
Starting point is 00:17:09 So please, you guys, it's never too late to become a Redhead. We're kind of like taking over. I can't really explain what's going on with the Redheads, but I also feel like books in general, plus like Kindles, are having a renaissance, and the Redheads are just like kind of leading the charge. And by the way, I feel like you, I successfully got someone to read. Who?
Starting point is 00:17:29 Abe. Okay. He, I, a couple months ago I was like, you have to buy a Kindle. And so he bought one. He's like, I really want to get into reading. And then he opened it and he was like, this is a Kindle. Like, and you know what he, like, I know what he meant. Like the interface is like literally from 1997.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Like the store. And he was like, not into it. But he went this weekend to Israel. It's his birthday. Happy birthday, Abe. And he was like, I'm going to bring the Kindle. Suggest a couple books for me. So I suggested Luckiest Girl because he said I want like certain types.
Starting point is 00:17:57 So I said Luckiest Girl Alive. Then I said Verity because he wanted like a murder mystery vibes. And I do feel like he'll appreciate the little, you know, porn elements. And then I recommended Red, White, and Royal Blue. And so on the, good, right? Yeah. And then on the plane. You should read that.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Okay. I've told you so many times, I think you would like it. Okay, I'll add it to my thing. Well, he read Luckiest Girl Alive on the plane. And I think when I told him that Mila Kunis was making a movie out of it, he like thought it was like cool, you know and he loved it like beyond loved and it really it felt so good it feels so good I'm I think book recommendations are more personal than food more personal than comedy when I recommend a book to someone like I really I follow up I'm like did
Starting point is 00:18:40 you read the book what did you think about the book like I'm I I recommended it for you I didn't recommend it to everyone right sometimes I read a book and I'm like Kristen did you read the book? What did you think about the book? Like I recommended it for you. I didn't recommend it to everyone. Right. Sometimes I read a book and I'm like, Kristen would love this book. Yes, yes. I know what you mean. She knows that like I take it really seriously. So I think everyone who I like, I'm like, you have to read this book.
Starting point is 00:18:56 They eventually do. Yeah. And it feels good when somebody like takes your recommendation and then loves it. And I feel like I did a good, I don't really get asked for recommendations from people in my life. Like on Instagram, I'll recommend like a good porn book. But other than that, like no one really asked for tailored selects. And I felt really good. I actually had two good tailored selects moments like this past week. Stassi has gotten into reading too. And she's such a historical fiction girlie. She's, her area of focus is a little before my time,
Starting point is 00:19:26 but I've read some books in her beat. And I've recommended like two books to her that she loved. And then also Shannon read that Titanic book that, cause she was saying like her and her friend Taylor became obsessed with the Titanic. So I was like, if you read this book, you'll have no further questions. And she listens to books on tape,
Starting point is 00:19:43 which is just something cute about her. Books on tape. Are you 97 years old? She does the audio book. Audio book. Okay, yeah. She does the audio book. And she read that Titanic one.
Starting point is 00:19:54 And she really enjoyed it. Books on tape. That is literally such a throwback. Throwback. You have a book on tape. I do have a book on tape. Girlwithnodob.com slash book. you have a book on tape I do have a book on tape girlwithnobjob.com book I do feel sad though that like both for both of us like our renaissance with reading came long after the time where like
Starting point is 00:20:12 borders Barnes and Noble were like these social because I could see spending a Sunday rainy afternoon cuddled up at a Barnes and Noble with like a Starbucks like that is something I would do and that was totally a thing when we were like nine. And I'm like, you're not going to get me to spend my weekend at a fucking bookstore. And it's just sad that we miss that. Yeah. Also, I was with a friend yesterday and she was telling me how like if you go to the library, I know a lot of people already know this, but a lot of people don't.
Starting point is 00:20:40 If you go to your local library and get a library card, which is free and like we need a library renaissance in general. A hundred percent. Then you download an app called Libby and you plug in your library card information and you can read all these books for free. You just borrow them. A lot of the more popular books do have a wait list, but like instead of buying books on Amazon all the time, like if you just get a library card, download Libby, it connects
Starting point is 00:21:00 to your Kindle. You can be borrowing books for free from the library. No, for sure and libraries sound so quaint when it's you know in your town yeah no you I'm not going to the New York Public Library it's not a safe haven it's not that's exactly what I said it's a public restroom now that I live in suburbia like the library sounds cute but I wouldn't have been heading down to the New York Public Library before no I had to and it's romanticized of course Sex and the City and you see the outside it's so gorgeous but what you don't actually know is like that's not really
Starting point is 00:21:34 the library like the actual library with a stock of books is across the street and it's forlorn it's like an old ass government building literally it's my friend Rachel's dad used to call it the pubic library because it's literally disgusting. Yeah, it's forlorn. So it's forlorn. It's abandoned. It's disgusting. Yeah, no, I know why I personally hadn't gone to the library recently.
Starting point is 00:21:56 But now that I don't live in New York, maybe I will. And not to get political, but are libraries paid for by taxpayer dollars? I think so. So we're paying like super high taxes here for things like that. Gorgeous libraries, hospitals, things like that, right? Yeah, exactly. The hospitals are good. But Claudia, they use the money to pay the roads.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, no. Honestly, if you want to hear my true thoughts on taxes, go watch my comedy special, Disgrace Queen, available on Amazon Prime. It's all in there. It's all in there. Like, honestly, I do believe my groundbreaking, you know, earth shattering special put a target on my back for the IRS, honestly.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Yeah, but good thing you've got your shit together. Oh, I pay. I pay and I pay and I pay. You know what I'm thinking? I feel like we recently have so many new audiences, like so many new toasters, many new listeners and I don't know if all of them know that you actually have a comedy special from your first tour available to watch like if you Claudia's on her not like other girls tour right now which is
Starting point is 00:22:53 amazing and it's so fucking funny and hopefully one day we will all be able to watch it on our televisions but her last tour that she did right before COVID the dirty jeans tour she did a comedy special and you can watch it on Amazon and it's so funny and premium. So whenever I'm on my stories and I'll share like somebody read my book or somebody's like, you know, watching my special, I'll always share it. You know, girls got to promote. And I've been getting so many messages recently like, wait, you have a book? Wait, what's this comedy special? And I guess that's just the power of TikTok because we've literally gotten so many new followers and listeners, which we're so grateful for. Welcome. Yes, I have a book, a memoir that just came out. It hit the New York Times bestsellers list.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Number fucking 12. Number 12. Number 12. Number 12 yourselves. And before this tour, I was on my first tour, which was the Dirty Jeans tour. And I recorded that special. And it's on Amazon Prime. It's called Disgrace Queen.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And I believe it's free. Yeah. So check it out once you're done listening to this and then good guys and then Elizabeth and it's natural and then date night and then can't be our dreams like probably a podcast exactly then watch Claudia's special then and only then oh wait don't forget about Patreon you have to listen to all 250 episodes that we've ever done on Patreon. And then you can watch Claudia's special. Okay. Are you trying to get people to watch my special or not? No, I am.
Starting point is 00:24:11 I just want them to be fully immersed. In TNN universe. In TNN culture. TNN things. TNN things. Okay. We actually really have to get in. Because we have a long fucking show.
Starting point is 00:24:22 We do. So without further ado, here are the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

We're going to try and break it down. VMAs were on last night. Who knew? But you know what? A lot of news came out from them. A lot of actual real stars. There was star power there. There was. And
Starting point is 00:28:17 Taylor Swift accepted an award. And during her acceptance speech, she announced that she has a new album coming out in October. She said, quote, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand new album comes out October 21st. I will tell you more at midnight. And then at midnight, she posted on her Instagram said album called Midnights. She said, Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life will be out October 21st. Meet me at midnight.
Starting point is 00:28:45 In the Instagram post, it has this bit of text. I'm hoping we can break it down and then we'll also break down October 21st. We lie awake in love and in fear, in turmoil and in tears. We stare at walls and drink until they speak back. We twist in our self-made cages and pray that we aren't right this minute about to make some fateful life-altering mistake
Starting point is 00:29:05 this is a collection of music written in the middle of the night a journey through terrors and sweet dreams the floors we pace and the demons we face Damon for all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching hoping that we just maybe when the clock strikes 12 we'll meet ourselves midn's the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life will be out October 21st. Meet me at midnight. Okay, so first of all, I think there was a lot of speculation from the Swifties. Are we going to get another re-recording soon,
Starting point is 00:29:34 or is the next thing we get going to be original music? And I would have been happy for either, but I obviously am happier that it's new music because it's been a really long time since Evermore. I love the concept of this. First of all, like, Relatable Queen. Like, who else? Who, like, everyone is up at night, like, thinking about their worst fears, things going on in their life.
Starting point is 00:29:54 And I'm sure for Taylor, like, Relatable happens to her all the time. And I think it's interesting that each song is, like, a different night based on, you know, whatever was going through her life at that point. And I'm curious if, like, and I'm sure we will be able to decipher like what each song is about. Not everyone, because we don't know everything that goes on in her life, but I'm sure that like, you know, one of the songs will be like the night she met Joe or something like, and we'll be able to decipher or maybe like, and since she announced it at the VMAs, I have to imagine perhaps there's one song about after, you know, what kept her up that night
Starting point is 00:30:23 after the VMAs with Kanye. Yeah, that's so true. Also, it will probably be harder because I feel like every album she puts out is like a moment in time. It's like, oh, this past year and a half and here's how I felt about it. And then we just have to examine the year and a half.
Starting point is 00:30:37 This will be like examining her whole life. Her whole life. If anyone can figure out the DeSwifty code, it's the Swifties. And so I'm not worried. And I know she will give us enough Easter eggs to put it together. And, you know, now that we've officially entered a new era, I do feel as though everything she wears now is indicative of what the vibe of the album will be. And last night at the VMAs, she looked so gorgeous. She was wearing this crystal.
Starting point is 00:31:02 It was honestly, it was giving Kendall Jenner at the Met Gala it was really similar um and I'm sorry you know to have brought that up but she looked so beautiful and then at the after party I didn't even think she could do better than she did at the VMAs and she did she was wearing this like midnight blue starry romper with like this furry shawl it was so glamorous it was honestly both outfits were giving kind of that wildest dreams aesthetic from the music video like old Hollywood very glamorous red lip yeah but she is old Hollywood that is her aesthetic like always aside from when she's like putting on a different one um that hasn't been her aesthetic for a really long time yeah I think lover we got like really bright colors yeah with evermore we got like cottagecore. Right, so perhaps, you know, this is a return to the Taylor of yore.
Starting point is 00:31:51 The Taylor of yore. I'm very excited for everyone, for myself. I'm excited for new music. I wonder what the vibe will be. I feel like it's still gonna be in this vein of like emo singer songwriter it's not gonna be the boss no yeah even though she did say like in the description it's both nightmares and dreams so I feel like some of them will be like very whimsical very dreamy and others will be maybe
Starting point is 00:32:19 you know more dark but again like what's the genre that's the thing with Taylor like you never know what you're gonna get because one album is country one album's alternative. But again, like what's the genre? That's the thing with Taylor. Like you never know what you're going to get because one album is country, one album is alternative, one album is pop. Like what is it? It's cross genre. And that's why we stan our talented queen,
Starting point is 00:32:32 but it does make it difficult to have expectations. Yeah. I don't know why I thought October 21st was sooner than now I'm realizing it's two months. And I just kind of hate that. Like this whole beat up up I wish she would close the gap a little bit but the thing about Taylor is like she's so traditional the way she does music is the way people have been doing music for the last 20 years and I think a lot of artists have
Starting point is 00:32:58 changed that you know they do uh surprise albums like but she did by the. But she did surprise album for? Folklore. Kurt again. For folklore. Yeah, well, that was because we were desperate and it was a global crisis and she was being helpful. She came into help. And we're grateful.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Yeah, we are grateful. But for the most part, she does that old school way, like lots of press, one or two singles. One or two music videos. Right. People don't really do that anymore they just drop works of art entirely but she goes like the old school radio route yeah that's very true I mean it's fine and the time will fly it's annoying it's fucking annoying it is annoying you
Starting point is 00:33:37 know what I was thinking about this morning remember when she dropped evermore and like in the art it still said like weathervane or whatever no not weathervane woodvale woodvale and everyone was like oh my god third album it's a triplets and they were like oh no we forgot to take it out that was like the the fake title of the album when we were working on the artwork and it's like really relatable people worked on this and you forgot you just left it relatable relatable even Taylor Swift makes mistakes no I know but that was crazy and people still think that like there's a conspiracy there and it was meant to be there and like she's lying about it being a mistake no I think like that there is a third sister album to folklore and ever more titled Woodvale
Starting point is 00:34:22 um especially like there's so many clues know, when she released those cardigans for the song Cardigan, it had three stars on it and they were like, it's emblematic of each album. Yeah. Now we also need to talk about the fact that Midnight's is coming out on October 21st, which is Kim Kardashian's birthday. Doesn't mean anything. Which means nothing.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Like people are so annoying because first of all, if you know anything about Taylor, you know that the dates that she releases her music on have to mean something she's you know what she is is she Jewish because she's very into Gematria Gematria yeah for those who don't know like in Hebrew and like this is like a biblical thing each letter in the Hebrew alphabet is associated with a number so sometimes like a word will equal um like for example, okay, the word chai, which means life in Judaism, like life is signified with the number 18. Like everyone knows 18 is a lucky number in Judaism
Starting point is 00:35:12 because it means life. And that's because chai is two letters. The chet is eight and the yud is 10. But also it's, chet is eight and yud is 10. Think about it. Like A is one, B is two, C is three, and like all the way till Z is 26. So each letter has a corresponding number.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And then the letters- But does it go, does it go numerical? I feel like after 10, it becomes weird. Or maybe after 20. No, I mean- I haven't learned Gematria in forever. Yeah, but what's so weird that you mentioned that, I saw a post on my Instagram today
Starting point is 00:35:43 that was Gematria but English Gematria from Peloton memes and so it says if A is ABCDE equals one two three four five then knowledge the letters of knowledge equal 96 percent hard work equals 98 percent both are important but fall just short of 100 percent but the word attitude equals 100 percent okay they're just trying to get you to peloton but no it's peloton memes it's not the corporate account well that's gamatria honestly gamatria is like such a throwback it brings me back to like literally third grade learning gamatria and like not understanding it at all i'm like well are they numbers or letters? They're both. But Taylor is like a Jewish queen with the Gematria. So October 21st is the date. Taylor's lucky number is 13. So 10-21, which is
Starting point is 00:36:35 the date, 1-0-2-1 is, sorry, 10 and 21 is, wait. Yeah. 10-2-1 is 13. So they always have to mean something and you have to release release music on a Friday so there are limited options for Taylor when it comes to Fridays in a year which numbers also have meaning and she also aligns with her calendar and she loves October yeah sad girl autumn like she loves so I think it literally has nothing to do with Kim and I will believe that until she gives me a reason to believe that it does have anything to do with Kim I think it has nothing to do with Kim as she's told us she wants nothing to do with this narrative I can't imagine she's doing things to keep her in like the new cycle with Kim Kardashian I'm sure like I'd I would be shocked
Starting point is 00:37:20 if she even knew about this and I'm sure if she didn't she's like annoyed today that oh that's what people are taking away from this that they think I did it on Kim's birthday. But you know what it does actually make me feel really bad for Kim because Kim can't enjoy the musical stylings of Taylor Swift which just sucks because there's really something for everyone in Taylor Swift's catalog and whatever music you're into whatever you listen to I think everyone pretty much agrees unless you're like so stubborn that like there is a place in Taylor Taylor's discography for you no and also like we know Kim was a fan of Taylor she has a iconic video saying she loves love story and then she's watching Taylor on Twitter but I actually think there are so many people who I like really hate and I just find a way to put it out of my mind and listen to their music.
Starting point is 00:38:07 And I feel like when Kim is like in the gym or whatever, and we've heard like their music sometimes in the back, Kim Taylor's music in the background of some people's Instagram stories. I feel like she can put it out of her head. I hope so. I don't think she listens in her air pods to Taylor like full Taylor Swift albums but when it comes on and she's like in the mood she's able to just enjoy the music by the way I know what you mean like there are people who I hate so much but like their music sorry like it
Starting point is 00:38:35 slaps I'm gonna listen to it anyway but there are also people that I don't have personal beef with that's true you know what I mean but there's also people that I hate and I actually can't listen to their music anymore I understand for Kim I don't know if it's the same comparison just because like this is personal. It's not like just hating someone from afar. Yeah, that's true. So I hope, I really do hope that Kim is letting herself enjoy the musical stylings of Taylor Swift because it's such a, it's such pleasure it's a privilege yeah and so I'm excited that we all have this to look forward to and Taylor looked I just want to say like so spectacular we never get to see her and like we're just so desperate for like little crumbs and she gave us
Starting point is 00:39:17 a whole ass piece of bread last night and she looked amazing and I love her so much and it was so fabulous to see her really and we're gonna get to see a lot more of her and this is obviously her era is clearly very like sparkly midnight you know disco ball is what I'm getting and I think there'll be a lot more where this came from so get excited and the artwork was very cool very edgy very cool cute okay our next story a little more VMAs news for me i think it was like the headline from the evening even though i didn't watch the vmas i barely kept up with like the looks or anything but addison ray's mom and young gravy kissed on the 2022 mtv vmas red carpet
Starting point is 00:39:59 i think um i know like a decent amount about this If you want me to give you like a little backstory. Okay, please. So, you know, Addison Rae's dad has been out here embarrassing himself and his family over the last couple of weeks. And it all really started with like him making these crazy videos about young gravy. And the reason why he was doing that was because young gravy was like doing press, basically saying like he thinks Sherry is everything of the sort. Like he wants to date her. Like he was being very public about like how he's really into Sherry.
Starting point is 00:40:29 And Monty, who's Sherry's ex-husband, I think they're probably, I don't know if they're divorced yet. And Addison's dad made all these videos like saying how disrespectful it was, even though like he recently was exposed for literally cheating on the mother of his children and his wife. So it started this weird beef between young gravy and Monty Lopez. And honestly, Sherry never even acknowledged it. Like, but then there was some other weirdness with Addison on following her mom, Addison's mom tweeting like, I'm heartbroken, yada, yada, mothers will understand. And so it's been unclear like what's going on between Addison and her mom
Starting point is 00:41:05 but we're all pretty sure Addison is not talking to her dad because he's acting like a fucking animal like a three-year-old on social media so then after all of this last night young gravy shows up on the red carpet with Sherry as his date and it's so bizarre he's. She's in her 40s. I am fairly certain they're not dating. I think that like Young Gravy was more than happy to be used as a pawn in Sherry Ray's divorce drama. Like her ex-husband has been so embarrassing, like texting 20 year olds, posting these disgusting videos, then hanging out with Ava Louise, who is obviously Addison's like arch nemesis like doing all of these things to embarrass Sherry to embarrass Addison and I think Sherry and Young Gravy used
Starting point is 00:41:51 last night's red carpet as like a moment to get back at him I really don't think that they're dating even though they kissed on the red carpet and then in the telecast they were behind someone who was like hosting or announcing something and you could see them kissing in the background I still don't think they're dating yeah I didn't know who Young Gravy was until last week because he was on Sophia with an F and I watched a clip of what he was talking about and he said that he was talking about like having all these girls in different like uh ports pretty much and like hoes in different area yeah but they're like real like relationships when he's with them but he has like multiple of these people so I just hope like Sherry's not getting too invested because
Starting point is 00:42:29 I now know that he has a lot of other girlfriends who feel really special and that she'll never just be his one and only um so I'm grateful to Sophia with an F for doing um that investigative work for us and I don't think though that they're actually dating but like for to do that on the red carpet like where's Addison this is just like not a great look no this is the takeaway for me from this story Addison Rae's parents are disgraceful after first of all after Addison made it and started growing and getting all these opportunities for brand deals and acting yada yada yada the way she brought her parents along for the ride whether it was what she wanted whether it was they wanted was admirable you know like nobody really gets
Starting point is 00:43:17 famous and puts their parents at the forefront of the the spotlight like it was it was always a little weird honestly like the way that her parents had TikTok accounts that were verified and would make dancing videos. Like it's fucking weird. First of all, then not only that, but for them to then have this, and by the way, things happen, people break up to handle it in such a disgusting way on both of their parts, honestly, more so Monty than Cherry, but now both of them is so embarrassing for Addison. Her parents are acting out of control. They're acting like the kids, especially her dad. I'm sure Addison is not talking to her dad, and we know she's not talking to her mom, and honestly, I feel that. Yeah. Also, it's like, to the whole world who's watching this,
Starting point is 00:44:01 like Sherry showing up with Young Gravy, if they just walked the carpet together and we could have been like, ooh, titillating, but like them like making out, up with young gravy if they just walk the carpet together and we could have been like oh titillating but like them like making out pda even if they are dating like stop you know yeah it the whole world is like watching and like no one's thinking this is like cool cute or shipping so it's really just to get back at monty and it's like oh okay so you care so you care about this like disgusting piece of shit up until this point sherry was above everything monty was doing was so like lowbrow so tacky and sherry was remaining above it even though there was you know for me at least like questions as to why her and addison weren't talking and why she followed her mom on it unfollowed her mom on instagram but now sherry's
Starting point is 00:44:39 like playing dirty just like monty and they're both honestly disgraceful yeah yeah like look at what they're doing to their daughter who's literally had this you know historic unprecedented success on her way to being you know a true fixture in Hollywood as a celebrity whether it's acting or doing beauty or just social media like she has a very you know hopeful career ahead of her and her parents acting like this like bringing her down to a level that's so tacky when like she's out in Malibu with the Kardashians like look how well she's done for herself yeah and they both want to you know chip away at that by being two-year-olds yeah agreed it's unacceptable and it's really embarrassed I'm embarrassed for them should be Addison on the red carpet of Of course. Where is Addison?
Starting point is 00:45:29 It's like Dixie D'Amelio walking Addison's mom and her 25-year-old boyfriend walking. Like, are these people okay? But also, where's Addison? Like, I know she's been on Italian vacation for a year, but where is she? She probably took some time off and then all this stuff happened and she just extended that time off. Because honestly, she should not have to answer or really be a part of this like if her parents want to act wild then that's on them and she really shouldn't have to step out and do a red carpet and be asked about that it's not her fucking problem I mean she can't really control how her parents are acting so you know what I would take a break too like relax yeah as far as other things that happened at the VMAs, Nicki Minaj like won a Lifetime Achievement Award. So happy for her. Her new song is really good. What's her new song? I'm not gonna
Starting point is 00:46:11 lie. I have been very critical of Nicki. You have been. Especially because I didn't think it was cool the way she, you know, was the only female rapper for a really long time. And then when it came time for Cardi B, like she was not gracious. she was not um and then obviously you know there's a lot in her personal life that is unique um but then she did the Potomac reunion and she crawled her way back a little bit but then and then I started to like like her on a personal level but I really thought like she would not come back as like the queen of rap I thought that time was kind of over for her um but she just released super freak and it's a fucking bop one thing about me I'm the baddest alive um and like I only know it because of TikTok but now I like want to listen to it on Spotify like her rap is just so good like it's so on point like every word makes perfect fucking sense you know yeah it's so on point
Starting point is 00:47:02 one thing about me I'm the baddest still that you it's fictitious like she's word fictitious like perfect I say t-word I don't know the song yet but I've gotta add it to my Spotify it's really good cool well anything else that happened uh I didn't watch by the way I didn't watch some of the red carpet looks were here or there unique I thought Sabrina Carpenter looked unreal. I completely agree. I thought Lizzo looked a little silly. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:28 I love her dearly. But that dress was just a no for me. But you know what? That's fashion. It's everyone's choice. Dove Cameron looked a little bad. Dixie D'Amelio looked gorge. She's a class act, that girl.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Yeah. Good stuff. Good stuff, yeah. And it was in New Jersey. Right. Are you ready for our next story? I am. Olivia Wilde asked Shia LaBeouf not to quit the movie
Starting point is 00:47:57 Don't Worry Darling in a leaked video saying, quote, I'm not ready to give up. This is really, like, really bad. Yes. So a previously reported video message that Olivia Wilde sent Shia LaBeouf asking him to reconsider his decision to leave Don't Worry Darling has leaked. The full contents of the video were reported by Variety but the video itself emerged several hours later. Shia had sent Variety the video in an effort to rebuff
Starting point is 00:48:21 Olivia Wilde's claims in a recent cover story that she fired the actor from the film due to disagreements over his acting process. Shia countered saying he left the film on his own because he couldn't find enough time to rehearse with his co-stars. Olivia Wilde reportedly sent Shia the video several days after he left Don't Worry Darling in August 2020. In the clip she says quote I feel like I'm not ready to give up on this yet, and I'm too heartbroken and want to figure this out. She also appears to allude to some potential tension between Shia and co-star Florence Pugh, saying, quote, I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo. If she really commits, if she really puts her mind and heart into it at this point,
Starting point is 00:48:58 and if you guys can make peace, and I respect your point of view, I respect hers, but if you guys can do it, what do you think? Is there hope? A rep for Olivia did not return a request for comment. Okay, like not Olivia Wilde being like the most fraudulent feminist of all time.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Like, yeah, like talking to Variety. And I've seen a lot of clips from this interview. Variety did a big thing with her because she's really kind of the next big female director. Like if she's not already, you know, she's getting to that level, like kind of how I feel about Mindy Kaling. Like when she's really kind of the next big female director like if she's not already you know she's getting to that level like kind of how I feel about Mindy Kaling like when she's
Starting point is 00:49:28 associated with something you know it's gonna have that Olivia Wilde vibe um so they did this big article woman director yada yada empowering women oh yeah I fired Shia as we all know Shia has been accused and is currently being sued by some of his ex-girlfriends for abhorrent abuse. Like, he's not a good guy. In this scenario, though, I do love how petty he was, like, sending the full video. So she's out here being a hero, you know, I protect women, yada, yada, I fired Shia, it was tough, it was what we had to do. And then this video comes to light that not only proves that she was lying, but is actually incredibly cringy for someone who wears a t-shirt that says feminist AF, you know?
Starting point is 00:50:08 Yeah. She not only is asking Shia not to quit, but to stay, but is also being incredibly condescending to Florence Pugh, Miss Flo. Like in the video, her tone is like obviously distasteful towards Florence
Starting point is 00:50:22 and wanting to side with Shia. And maybe that's not how she feels. Maybe she thought that's how she would get Shia to agree. All in all, it's a really bad look for Olivia Wilde, especially, and it's made worse by the fact that like, she is obviously dating Harry Styles, who has these hordes of fans who do not like her. So the video is getting perpetuated even more,
Starting point is 00:50:43 more than it would if she was just a regular girl dating Jason Sudeikis you know yes but I'm not even invested on the Harry Styles piece but like this is fucking crazy just to be so caught in a lie like that and to lie to really prop yourself up to like and also you know i'm very glad that he sent this video forward because we should know and it's just like people just fucking lie and i know and it's like when someone said when there's rumors or this or that or sources like i can always give it the benefit of the doubt and be like that's probably not true or like maybe that didn't happen and so I'm always but this is full proof this is she said one thing and the video shows that she fucking lied yeah no it's really bad especially now you
Starting point is 00:51:33 know she's like that classic you know celebrity who you know she went on watch what happens live her skirt was embroidered feminist feminist feminist feminist no of course like feminist card is you know formative fucking activism her feminist card is is being rescinded for sure but also just like your truthful human being card your credibility credibility no it's really bad one because the video is so obviously just like said one thing but you did another but also like this tension that has been rumored up until this point with Florence Pugh is kind of like fully validated now like it was really rude vibes in the video about Florence it's been reported that Florence is not going to do any press for this movie except for the Venice Film Festival that's the one thing
Starting point is 00:52:20 she's going to do and honestly I'm with her like first of all your director who's a woman so you're like finally I'm with her. Like, first of all, your director, who's a woman. So you're like, finally, I'm getting a woman director. She can finally understand what it's like to be a woman in this business. Someone I can lean on, perhaps be a mentor to me. And she's fucking, you know, being sneaky behind your back, trying to get your co-star who's just been exposed for being like a violent abuser. She's trying to get him back on. Then she ends up dating the lead they keep running away together no one's on set no one's working no one's being professional I'm sure she's like fuck this forlorn project I wish I never signed on you know what I owe Florence an apology I was wrong because I you were doubtful you weren't wrong I said like she's probably bitter about
Starting point is 00:52:59 the movie because like if anyone was going to be dating Harry Styles on set it was going to be her and that's so not what her issue is here and I was it's more layered I was wrong and I apologize because it's so much more layered and yet this sounds like a miserable work experience a toxic work atmosphere yeah but like just even the Shia part and I guess like what she's saying is she's trying to get Miss Flo to rehearse more with him kind of like what he wanted like because he's very methody and like wants everyone rehearsing all the time. And I guess Flo probably didn't want to be around him. Flo was probably like, this is a nine to five.
Starting point is 00:53:31 I'm going home. Like we'll pick up tomorrow. And so we were going to meet in the middle of like spending more time. That's what I'm getting. That's putting the pieces together. That's probably where the biggest disconnect was. So it's like, not only was she going to like try and make Florence like method act like Shia who also is like a alleged abuser and just like not a guy
Starting point is 00:53:51 you want to be spending extra time with right alone time then they finally figure out that piece and it was Shia who left it wasn't even Olivia making the right decision for Florence it was Shia who left which is so embarrassing okay so we bring on Harry Styles and now it's like you're running off with him Florence is directing this you know I apologize I was so wrong that's very big of you um I like before this whole saga I know like the teeny bot like Gen Z is obsessed with Florence Pugh and to be honest like I was not familiar at all mostly because I haven't seen um Little Women and that's where like she has like a cult following from. So I didn't really know anything about her. And I was just very kind of, you know, neutral about her.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Now I feel as though I like her a lot, like knowing what she's been through and still acting with such grace, even though I am sure. Such grace. Even though I'm sure she's so happy. This is all out there. This video was sent in because one it
Starting point is 00:54:46 shows that Olivia Wilde is a liar two it shows the toxic ass environment that she worked from and now people probably understand why she doesn't want to promote this film like she wants to be done with it and she comes out the hero so my only question is like what does Olivia Wilde do now like this is so bad and so embarrassing for her and she was like ascending this very small you know to this very small group of female directors you know and now it's like I'm sure she'll be fine I'm sure like she'll just keep doing whatever she was doing but I think for the fans especially people who like didn't know where to fall on on this particular movie issue and people really love Florence and people really love Olivia Wilde like it's it's opened some eyes also I wonder if Florence even knew about this video
Starting point is 00:55:36 I wonder if she for sure not sure not I'm sure she's feeling but she probably knew that Olivia Wilde did not fire Shia LaBeouf she probably knew that yeah that she knew that Shia quit and then she sees Olivia running around town being you know a hero for women when she didn't even have the balls to fire the alleged abuser in the movie he had to quit yeah like it's so embarrassing I'm like I'm embarrassed yeah it's really embarrassing yikes Olivia that's really it couldn't it's giving yikes it's yikes worthy yeah so let's see what happens next but all of this to say I gotta see this movie right so I'm you know no press is is bad press so I'm curious if this is helping the film um I saw a like a little teaser they released.
Starting point is 00:56:27 I don't know if I need to see it. I don't know that I will see it. But even though there are some sexy Harry Styles. This does make me more interested in seeing it. I don't know if it's enough to see it. But I didn't care one iota before any of this happened. I would have also assumed the movie already came out. You know felt like forever since they've been dating,
Starting point is 00:56:46 they met on set, like, right. Yada, yada. So true. Are you ready for our next story? Is it the next story that's brought to you by away?

Starting point is 00:58:54 It's over for Kelsey Ballerini and Morgan Evans. The singer filed for divorce from the musician on Friday after nearly five years of marriage, People confirms. A source tells People that, quote, they've been working on their marriage for a very long time. Prior to this, they had separated privately once before and have been in therapy for several years. They gave it their best go, but unfortunately arrived at the decision to formally separate. She addressed the split on her Instagram story this morning, saying, friends, I've always tried my best to share my life with
Starting point is 00:59:23 you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold this is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I'm going through a divorce this deeply difficult decision is a result of a journey of love growth and effort that ultimately has come to an end it's hard to find the words here but I feel extremely grateful for the years of marriage to Morgan and hopeful for the and hopeful for the next seasons. With very active schedules coming up, please be mindful that we are both fragile, actively healing, and showing up the best that we can. Okay, let me say one thing.
Starting point is 00:59:53 When all these women in country, like these young women in country were getting married, it was all around the same time. Kelsey Ballerini and Morgan Evans, Kacey Musgraves, and that guy's name, who died, I don't remember, and Ryan Hurd and Maren Morris. Like, all three of these, like, huge women in country were getting married, like,
Starting point is 01:00:09 around the same time, all to men, like, significantly less successful than them. In the same industry. In the same industry, yeah, which I thought was, like, really interesting. Of course, we all know Kacey Musgraves' marriage was the first to bite the bullet. Now, Kelsey Ballerini, and I do feel as though Maren Morris's marriage is like really strong um and I don't think that they're headed the way the other two are headed but it's just interesting to know now like four or five years later that two out of three of those marriages did not last yeah and we'll never know what the issues were um but I
Starting point is 01:00:39 imagine from an outside glance it's very hard to one be in the same industry as someone and to be married and in the exact same space and it's like just so obvious when one person is more successful than the other like I feel like a lot of other people who are you know maybe I'm a singer in this genre you're a singer in that genre or I'm an actor you're a singer Nicole Kidman Keith Urban like there's no jealousy because there's no crossover to be in the exact same category and fighting for the same you know opportunities recognition minutes on the radio etc and like one person is having so much success like I it takes a really I don't even want to say a big person but like it's just a a certain type of person to not have any issues with that. Right. Because like jealousy and competition, like those are natural human emotions, especially if you're like a
Starting point is 01:01:31 hustler, like you are motivated to be successful. So I can't imagine that's the entire reason why. But I think it leads to other problems in the marriage because if you're not entirely happy with where you're at in life, you know, you take that out on the people around you. And again, this is all just guessing. But I just can't imagine it doesn't have at least something to do with it. Because when you think about where they started and now where they are, like, Kelsey is bigger than ever.
Starting point is 01:01:57 You know, her next album's coming out. The three songs she released are so fucking good. Like, she can, like, she's just killing it. She performs everywhere. She does festivals she headlines and Morgan who released his first album a couple years ago that I thought was incredible like really filled with the most beautiful music I like haven't heard from him yeah he's definitely more low-key but he's unbelievably talented um right we love his music Rustin Kelly that was oh yeah yeah yeah um it just it I'm sure it's throws a wrench into what is already difficult institution of marriage but I and I don't know if this is like you know too soon to say I am excited
Starting point is 01:02:42 that eventually Kelsey Ballerini will be dating because she's kind of like this bell of the ball in country music I don't know if she's going to continue to date within country music but she's like this beautiful young girl and I just think like who she dates next will be really fun for us to watch and also really good for her career for sure but I do feel like he'll be in a relationship first that's how it always goes yeah but like I don't think you know people care tend to yeah I'm just I'm I'm excited for her to heal and then be spotted out with I don't know like Brad Pitt yeah oh I'll add her to the list but oh yeah I'll have to put her under a category of not healed yet not healed yeah TBD oh and you know who I'm taking off the list? Sherry Ray. Sherry.
Starting point is 01:03:25 I was thinking the same thing. Get rid of her. She doesn't deserve it. Ah, Kelsey. Until she starts to act like a grown-up, then perhaps we'll consider putting her back on. But until then, no, no, no. Okay, Kelsey Ballerini and Chris Evans.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Cute. Kelsey Ballerini and Michael B. Jordan. Cute. Kelsey Ballerini and Michael B. Jordan. Cute. Kelsey Ballerini and Josh Groban. Obsessed. Even though I feel like he's a lot older than her. She seems, you know, like mature. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Because she's been in this industry, you know, for a long time. She said to grow up quickly. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'm also really excited for her album. Like she's been killing it. Yeah yeah with the singles that have come out love is a cowboy I haven't listened to new music because I listen to the same five songs over and over again just like as a mom um I feel and the rotation changes constantly but these days it's middle of somewhere by Luke Holmes just want
Starting point is 01:04:21 to say we've never like fully debriefed the album but um I think it's it's so hard because this one's for you is also an incredible album but like this album growing up is fucking 10 out of 10 like it's there's only one thing that's bad about it and that's that it's not fucking long enough every time I get to the end I'm like wait yeah the music stops I'm like what also Outrunning Your Memory we love that song we sing it always with Miranda and I think part of the reason why i feel like the album's not long enough is because i think one of my perhaps my favorite song is the last one that girl is going going on so good you'd love this bar it's so good like if you like country music if you don't like country music it's a and the songs
Starting point is 01:05:07 are like they're kind of like emotional like he's tapping into things that like you know you think in your head but you don't say like I'm so glad you know I I'm glad hold on I'm not anybody else because I used to wish I was like things like that that we all feel but would never even admit like yeah I used to hate myself like it's so real that, that we all feel but would never even admit. Like, yeah, I used to hate myself. Like it's so real. And it's not like, it has the country, you know, whiskey beer, beer never broke. Like it has that, but it also has a depth to it
Starting point is 01:05:33 that's like kind of like emo. He's just sharing universal truths. Yes. No matter where you're from, what your genre is, it's universal truths. It's literally, it's a work of art. It's a work of art. Middle of Somewhere is my favorite song.
Starting point is 01:05:49 And Outrunning Your Memory. And then the other five in the rotation that we're always listening to is now obviously Can't Help Falling in Love. And If I Can Dream by Elvis is my new favorite song. I never knew it before. I listen to it probably 20 times a day. All different versions of it. It's so good.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Better Back When for Luke Holmes is up there for me. As is Going Going Gone and Used to Wish I Was. All of them. But I'm glad I'm not. I'm just an old Carolina girl. Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I'm at already. It's some TV news. Daily Pop and Nightly Pop have been canceled at E! Are you ready for our fifth and final story? I'm at already, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:26 It's some TV news. Daily Pop and Nightly Pop have been canceled at E! E! is canceling two of its daily entertainment news shows. The daytime talk show Daily Pop will end its five-year run in September, and companion Nightly Pop will go dark in October. The NBCUniversal-owned cable outlet also plans to launch a new evening show in October that will return to the roots of the e-news brand as the gold standard of entertainment news coverage according to a memo from Tracy Wilson executive VP syndication studios at NBC Universal to e-staff on Friday she wrote I know change can be challenging but I'm truly excited about the future of these brands that
Starting point is 01:06:59 we are going to build together the whole email is like all over the internet. But the headline is that Daily Pop and Nightly Pop are donezo. E is so moronic. And they have not been okay for years. I don't know like who on the planet decided to cancel E! News. Like they should be fired immediately. That was just a terrible idea because that was really what E! was known for. And maybe it needed to be improved and fixed in some different ways, but that's what they've claimed to be was like this pop culture network. And E! News was honestly the only brand in their catalog that had recognized, like we all know E! News. Everybody wanted to be on E! News growing up. Like they could have evolved if there was
Starting point is 01:07:44 problems, but like whoever canceled E! News, like a terrible idea. Then they had this whole slate of morning programming, pop of the morning, daily pop, nightly pop. They, pop of the morning was literally forlorn. It was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And I love him, but like, why the fuck was Victor Cruz the host? He's a former football player. Like what the fuck does he know about the Kardashians? Like it made no sense. And they never really ever lean into digital culture. You know, they have the rundown, which is like their Snapchat thing. And they're always bringing on like podcasters and TikTokers to do it. But like they need to bring that energy to cable because nobody is really caring about most of the talent that they procure. But having said that in the last couple of years, they've done a good job of finding good talent. Justin, Morgan, Nina, Hunter. And so not only have they canceled their
Starting point is 01:08:33 shows, but like they really never like nurtured that. They really should have like been putting more energy, more resources towards those four people because they were coming like becoming like the new faces, like a younger generation of E and they just canceled it so like what are they doing and what original shows do they even have anymore and why the Bradshaw bunch that's it yeah it must be doing so well like I I don't know I love Daily Pop I can't believe it's ending I don't know what their new strategy is maybe they're gonna focus more on nighttime sure but like then why not Nightly Pop also E's whole thing is you know pop of culture so we were getting pop in the morning and pop in the evenings like are they also
Starting point is 01:09:13 gonna do a whole nother rebrand we all just got used to like it's so silly it feels like every few years there's like a reorg and but we're all like when there's an internal reorg, we're not supposed to really feel it or know about it. But it's like every single few years they're taking us along this with them. I can't imagine what it's like to be working there, to be one of the hosts. Did everyone know that this was coming? Did people find out in the news? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:41 And what does this mean for some of our faves? Like Morgan still does necessary realness. So is she still technically with E? what does this mean for some of our faves? Like Morgan still does necessary realness. So is she still technically with E? What does this mean for Justin? I mean, Justin has been doing, you know, like almost now, like maybe monthly or weekly spots on the Today Show. He's amazing. He's so funny.
Starting point is 01:09:56 I hope if there's a job there for him, they give it to him. Because like, honestly, E has all these talented people and their talents are going to waste. E does not appreciate them. E is moronic. They are not in tune with what's necessary. And it's so shocking to me that like out of all this crap they've been throwing at the wall these last few years, they actually got two really substantial shows that were good, that had a good following. And they're just canceling it after they've made all this progress. Like I literally don't understand. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 01:10:23 I don't know what the ratings were, but maybe there was like a dip because I don't think you would cancel like the most watched show but like and can I tell you we reformulate if there was a dip in ratings and I don't think either of the shows had like the highest of ratings and I want to tell you that has nothing to do with the format of the show or the host it has everything to do with E now having this horrendous reputation of being like the messy network like honestly they're giving Demi Lovato every few years like no this is the real us we're gonna be this yeah I agree it's like well what are you also I feel like now with especially without E news and now especially without Daily Pop and Nightly Pop, like they're just like an Instagram account. Rom-com.
Starting point is 01:11:07 They're an Instagram account with the posts like they're an influencer. Yeah. Yeah. Like every channel has a brand, you know, and you know what you're going to get on that. Like on Bravo, you know, you're going to get reality shows mostly centered in big cities around different subcultures you know what you're gonna get you turn on sci-fi you know what you're gonna get you turn on uh VH1 you know what you're gonna get now it's like you turn on E and you're like what the fuck is going on like it's a zoom show with Kevin Hart in people's closets or it's a Zoom show with Kevin Hart in people's closets. Right. Or it's a Sweet Home Alabama.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Like what, what is your vibe? I know. Well, they're, I'm sure. They are so messy. What they'll say now is like, they're going to figure it out and they're going to reorganize. But it's your. But I thought they had figured it out five years ago with their new morning slate live from New York and then live from LA.
Starting point is 01:11:59 And they were doing like all female content. Like every single show on their network was female focused. It was like very Cavallari, Total Bellas, Total Divas. It was all female content, like every single show on their network was female focused. It was like very Cavallari, total Bellas, total Divas. There was all female shows. That was pretty good. Lady Gang,
Starting point is 01:12:11 but that didn't work? I firmly believe like Lady Gang was not given a good enough, long enough shot. Cause I think that show had legs. Yeah. We really liked it. So I don't know. Yeah. And I just thought I was i was like okay give them a minute you're taking for the first time ever podcast and making it into a television show it takes time for
Starting point is 01:12:31 people to adjust like it's not maybe the first season is not going to break the record yeah busy phillips oh busy phillips they've just been dropping the ball for years. McClardia. Busy Phillips. Yeah. Busy Phillips. And it's just sad that the network that I think, like as millennial women used to grow up and everyone's dream job was to like be on E! News, be the next Julianna Lansing. The dream is dead. And now, yeah, you couldn't pay me.
Starting point is 01:12:59 And you know what? I'm actually really happy in a sense if this canceling of the show gives Justin and Morgan like more freedom because I do think those jobs like they keep you really busy they're really restrictive in terms of what else you can do your contract is really tight I don't think you can be out here you know doing different partnerships and doing podcasts and the two of them they're both so talented and so funny and people really love them so I hope that like in a way the show getting canceled releases them from their shackles like go do a podcast do a web show like you're hilarious
Starting point is 01:13:30 yeah I wonder if they're still with E though I I don't know necessary realness I know Justin has like a you know what they should really do like a like a Kelly and and ryan of e with justin morton daily pop that was and morton doesn't want to do that right right because she has kids like why don't they make it like a three o'clock show i mean they obviously know a lot a little bit more than us like about viewer habits and what time of the day yeah so i guess they'll be doing this nightly show they're going to put everything into like a big nightly program and i I would hope that they're using the talent that they have, the talent that people like and want to see. But one would hope then why not just revamp nightly pop and make it,
Starting point is 01:14:15 you know, an hour and a different setup, different format. No, this is like, he isn't is embarrassing. This is the episode of embarrassments. Everyone is out here embarrassing themselves.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Sherry, Olivia Wilde. The E stands for embarrassing. Embarrassing entertainment. I love that. Well, those were the fast five. And boy, were they juicy. I mean, what a weekend. What a weekend.
Starting point is 01:14:43 And we'll have more for you tomorrow. And it's far from over. Game mean, what a weekend. What a weekend. And we'll have more for you tomorrow. It's not, it's far from over. Would we like to do- Game of Thrones, please. Game of Thrones. Okay. So episode two of the House of the Dragon was last night. It was one of those episodes, you know, when you get, you know, if you're familiar with
Starting point is 01:14:57 Game of Thrones, you know that there's two types of episodes. One is, you know, where lots of explosive things happen, plot twists, huge moments. And the others are episodes that set the groundwork. They really settle, move things around so that those big explosive moments can happen. And last night was very much like a setting of the scenes. It wasn't that explosive, but you know things that happen in this episode, maybe in episode five, something fucking crazy will happen. And it'll be because, you know, we staged it in episode two. So it wasn't crazy, but I think obviously the big takeaways were one, that the king has decided to
Starting point is 01:15:34 marry that brunette girlie as opposed to the child, which on one hand, I was relieved he wasn't marrying Lena, the 12 yearold, because it was disgusting. And on the other hand, I'm upset, you know, for Rhaenyra, her bestie. It was a betrayal. Is now her stepmother. And, you know, she was making such good progress with her dad. I do feel like if she ends up having, you know, some sort of break with her dad, like it will be detrimental for the realm. having you know some sort of break with her dad like it will be detrimental for the realm and he's trying and she's trying but he lied to her and he betrayed her and he didn't even have the decency to tell her when they were having the conversation about remarriage that he was thinking about marrying her brunette bestie so I do feel like this is a huge huge betrayal for her and is
Starting point is 01:16:22 perhaps going to lead to Damon's arms her cutting off cutting off her dad which is not going to be good no it will lead her right into Damon's arms I do wonder if like their end game I don't know you also have to like just just suspend some of the things that you think are uncle weird uncle little uncle loving and the 12 year old. So by the way, you should have married Lena. They're not the same. Jackie, I can separate uncle and non uncle. Like I can separate and shit. So you're okay with incest, but you're not okay with like a blurry pedophilia.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Yeah. Am I crazy? That pedophilia is worse than incest? I didn't know her until she was 14. Oh, how gracious of him i was not into that i got why it made sense the burgeoning of powerful homes valeria and targaryen and when they cut to when they were saying they have a kid i'm like oh great probably young and cute i thought that lena was in the first episode she was but i but I'm like, oh, they must have another daughter.
Starting point is 01:17:26 No, and I don't remember her being so young. I thought she was like Rhaenyra's age, just a little young, but not 12. She was a toddler. I thought she was like 15. When they were like, we have a daughter, I'm like, oh, we must not have met that one yet, because it can't be the toddler from the tourney. The toddler from the tourney. But it was the toddler from the tourney and i'm like this is
Starting point is 01:17:46 disgusting so on one hand i'm like sad that raniera has been betrayed but on the other hand i'm grateful that that young lady lena has been saved from a lifetime of misery with this old ugly king yeah who's not doing well about to lose a digit a oh the digit with the maggots that was really disgusting okay but also time is moving so quickly quicker than it ever moved the mom died six months ago six months ago did you watch a preview for next week no baby is born and he has a full head of blonde targaryen hair who wait who is a baby alicent in. In the pre... All right, can you stop spoiling? It's not a spoiler. In the previews for... No, it is. I didn't want to know.
Starting point is 01:18:27 In the previews for next week, there's a toddler. Damn. Well, I love when... Well, I love when things move fast because one, more happens. And two, like in these old timey worlds, like it would take a month for them to go to Dragonstone. So I'm grateful I didn't have to wait. Like next year's episode is like three years later damn that's actually but you know what maybe it's like now it's really a game of thrones because allison's son right now he
Starting point is 01:18:57 exists and he would he usurps rainiera force Rhaenyra to do something else. Into Daemon's arms. No, are you shipping now? I'm obsessed. I am kind of shipping. And so maybe these first two episodes were kind of like the prequel to now the story begins. That's a good call, by the way. And this episode, I was like actually really vibing with the king.
Starting point is 01:19:20 He thought it was weird about the 12-year-old. He understood why it was good, but he also thought it was weird. Um, he wanted to prioritize his relationship with his daughter. He apologized for not being so communicative after his mom died. He apologized that as a part of his job, he has to remarry. Like I was really on his side until he ended up handling it so poorly. Like, yes, I agree. And I think the king is, is a good guy, but he's not a great king because he's not like strong in his convictions and he doesn't have that many convictions but there's something about this like episode of Game of Thrones where it's like we're watching like a father trying to bond with his teenage daughter like a king try like who cares it feels like we're watching you know a rom-com
Starting point is 01:20:00 from 2022 of like you know a single father trying to bond with his daughter you know what if you're right about these two episodes kind of like being the prequel then that actually makes sense because we need to understand how and why raniera would then betray her father and turn to okay fine but it was giving like they don't talk about their feelings in the medieval ages yeah even though i did like love that the dad was like very, you know, communicative. No,
Starting point is 01:20:28 but it's just like, you know, interested in Rhaenyra because everyone in the medieval times was like so evil. It's so 2022. Like, tell me about your feelings. Yeah. The dad is weak.
Starting point is 01:20:38 Like he's not the, he's nothing of the sort. Yeah. Somebody lied to him several times and told him he was a good king. At least he's not evil. And he's nothing like that. He's nothing of the sort. In the Game of Thrones, like times and told him he was a good king. At least he's not evil. And he's nothing like that. He's nothing of the sort. In the Game of Thrones,
Starting point is 01:20:46 like you could get a Joffrey, you could get a Ramsay. Oh, you know who I wanted to fucking slap? The woman? Auntie. Okay. The queen that never was. Shut up, wench.
Starting point is 01:20:57 I have two things to say. I think that there's two really bad actresses in the show who are kind of bringing it down. I think she's a bad actress. I agree. And I think the whore is a bad actresses in the show who are kind of bringing it down i think she's a bad actress i agree and i think the whore is a bad actress oh jackie that was my next point first of all she was being such a bad actress when they went back inside after the dragon anything and complaining i don't want to be here she doesn't want to be his wife yeah and it was like i was running away and he was like from what and in the worst acting i've ever seen fear what i agree and that's something that game of thrones has always consistently been
Starting point is 01:21:32 above i cannot tell you an actor who was miscast or who did a bad job on game of thrones i cannot the whore has to go no i agree and like in the game of thrones of yore we would never be hearing like the horse the horse feelings right the horse feelings are irrelevant agreed and damon who's like very volatile yeah he's sitting there listening that would never happen it's just like a little so unrealistic and it's too many feelings like game of thrones is you know you live or you die you don't feel no like in the regular show if the horror went on and on about her feelings she'd be put to death on the spike yeah like stop talking wench so i thought that was weird too um and when raniera came in on the dragon i was like queen
Starting point is 01:22:27 being queen she's giving danny targaryen she's everything of the sort damon loves her because he finally gave her back the egg i ship romance at its finest yeah yeah but the queen that never was his husband is really pissing me off even Even though he's right. And the crab. You can't sit idly by while the free cities. You can't. But my God, like chill out. And it's also like he's in a very high position of power. Everyone around the table is like jockeying to be on the Iron Throne.
Starting point is 01:22:58 But it's like, is anyone just fucking happy with their station? It's like, okay, I don't want the pressure of being king. I've got a great life. I've got my own castle. I'm not going to make every move in my life trying to get me or a family member on the throne yeah no nobody feels that way and it's not fair because nobody really cares about the free city thing because it doesn't affect them yet but it really affects him because he's like you know the house of the sails the sailor the sailors the the sea um so it's going to affect him first but then it's going to affect the realm.
Starting point is 01:23:26 That's like John in the wall. That's like John in the wall. Right. Exactly. So it's not fair. And of course I knew he was going to go to Damon. Like maybe Damon will do something about it. But then I did love how he was like, don't talk shit about my family.
Starting point is 01:23:38 Only I'm allowed to talk shit about my family. No, you were right about Damon. I need to go where you watch the first episode and like. Oh my God. Not me being right about something, period. And especially about Game of Thrones, because like I'm so dumb. People will be like, you didn't see that coming. I was like, I had no idea.
Starting point is 01:23:50 I thought that in the first episode, like the small council was just a bunch of like weak losers, but not nefarious actors. Otto Hightower like is Littlefinger. Otto, that's, by the way, Ben said the exact same thing. Who was that chubby man that he that the king went to for his un he sits on the small council I don't know who he is exactly but he's he's a good guy one of the good ones um so all in all it was like a fine episode nothing crazy happened but not every episode can be crazy obviously and we need to we needed to set the scene for next week so we're setting the scene
Starting point is 01:24:29 in the middle of the episode zach was like this shit sucks i was like remember how slow it was no one remembers how slow season one was because nobody watched season one week to week but imagine watching that week to week you would have never stuck with it no and i still thought it was good it's better than most shows so i'm grateful it's a little it's a lot of feelings for west because we're only focused on one family it's a lot of the same people whereas like even a boring episode of game of thrones you would get winterfell you would get the wall you would get king's landing you would get aria you would get a lot of different updates from different people. And on this show, it's one family. So it's just a lot of the same people.
Starting point is 01:25:07 That's why it might feel drawn out. In the red keep the whole time. Right. True that. So I loved it. I love the recaps. They're so much fun with you, Sissy Poo. And I think it's time to unburden ourselves.

I've been keeping this in and I need to unburden myself. During quarantine, I was living with my parents and I stumbled upon something interesting. I was home alone and I wanted to do some karaoke.
Starting point is 01:26:58 I wrote this in. My mom's laptop was downstairs and mine was upstairs. So I just use hers for YouTube because I'm lazy and she doesn't mind if I use it I went into her history for some reason and saw multiple fully watched gay porn videos although there's nothing wrong with that of course my mom is very religious who has she has very traditional views and this was the last thing I expected also who uses YouTube for porn I, I know she was probably curious, but I couldn't look at her the same way for days.
Starting point is 01:27:27 I got over it, but it still lurks in my mind every now and then. You just gotta un-that-burden and forget about it. Yeah, I think you truly never know someone, even if it's your own mother, you know? That's the takeaway here. Yeah, and it wasn't meant for you to know, so you just need to un-know it now. Right. you know that's the take and it wasn't meant for you to know so you just need to unknow it now right and you don't know what the context of like why she was searching for it is you know maybe she met someone who was like i'm a gay porn actor so she was like wanting to see his work
Starting point is 01:27:56 you never know like things happen it's not probably she was watching gay porn but right let's be real it could have been other stuff too um and you just have to forget about it yeah and i think obviously you shouldn't be thinking about the fact that your mom watches gay porn but if anything perhaps you might have a little you know respect for like wow she's more open-minded than i thought i underestimated my mom i thought she was this religious traditional closed-minded person but she's actually a lover of gay porn a curious queen I don't think there's anything wrong with it but again it's obviously awkward yeah just try not to think about it just try not to think about it and just know like even moms have secrets yeah yeah hey Jackson Claude I love you both and I really need to unburden myself
Starting point is 01:28:43 two weeks ago my co-worker and I had to glue together 200 invites for an upcoming work event. While gluing the cards, I drew a dick on the invite thinking that the glue would just dry clear. My coworker and I both laughed and thought it was okay to send. Well, my boss just sent us a text with a picture of the invite and the dick that was clearly still on it. The glue did not dry clear. It's just me and my coworkerworker. That glued these imitations. So I must own up to my cute little drawing. And tell my boss that it was me.
Starting point is 01:29:08 I am so embarrassed. I don't even know how to respond to him. Love a girl who might be jobless. Just own up to it. You know. Things happen. And the fact that like. Your boss is a male.
Starting point is 01:29:21 Like just makes it like a little more. Like I think a girlie. Might be able to laugh at it. But this is like. weird yeah this is just awkward it's just unfortunate it's just like just zoom out you know lens zoom out and be grateful that he sent you the invitation while it was still on his desk not when you know the CEO exactly it always can be worse and it's just a silly little thing. Just be really apologetic. Be like, oh my God, I totally thought it would dry clear. I wouldn't, this is so unprofessional. I would never do it again. I'm really sorry. Like it's always important when
Starting point is 01:29:52 you're getting in trouble before you actually get yelled at to totally acknowledge that you were wrong. Apologize, admit why it was wrong and say it'll never happen again. Cause then the person who's about to yell at you, like they don't really have much to say because you've already said it. You've already said it. You've already said it. You've said everything that you've said. You neutralized the threat. And this is just a lesson, obviously. You never know what glue is going to look like.
Starting point is 01:30:12 And perhaps leave drawings of dicks to your personal items. And to your personal life. You know? Personal affairs. If you're in the workplace, like, no situation. Unless you're working in gay porn, like, should you be drawing dicks? Right. Unless you're storyboarding for gay porn.
Starting point is 01:30:26 Or you work at, like, a dildo factory and you need to sketch up a new. You're coming up with designs, yeah. A new prototype, yeah. You could say to your boss, like, I have a part-time job at the dildo factory. And I just got my papers mixed up. I'm so sorry. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Yeah. This is bad, but if you just own up to to it I don't think it's a fireball offense hopefully your boss is like young and funny and cool if he's like old and stuffy I mean that's gonna be awkward but he sounds like if he texted it to you that means he's young because older people don't know how to send texts let alone photos yeah to that so he's it sounds like he's young and obviously he went to college. Everyone used to draw dicks everywhere. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:31:09 It's fine. All right, are you ready for our third and final? Hello, Jack's Claude Rosenstrasse. I have been holding onto this for two months, and I cannot seem to get the awful cringe out of my head. I'll keep it short and not so sweet. Earlier this summer, my parents were throwing a party and needed to borrow some of my patio furniture, so their guests had places to sit. No problem at all.
Starting point is 01:31:29 I got up early, knowing my dad would be over to grab the chairs and the table. I worked out. I took a full shower. You know, shaved everything, deep conditioning, one of those. Flash forward, my dad stops by. He's loading up the furniture, and he asks to use my bathroom before he heads back home. I obviously had told him to go right ahead. I sat on the couch to watch TikToks or something. About an hour later, I had to pee, so I walked into my bathroom to find that I had left the shower curtain open and the floor of my bathtub is covered in tiny little hairs, not only from my legs, but my pubes were just sitting there staring back at me. The drain must have backed up. I was mortified. I stood in shock until I mustered up the courage to text my
Starting point is 01:32:03 mom and ask if dad mentioned anything about my bathroom. Thankfully, he didn't say anything to her, but I can't stop thinking about the fact that my dad probably thinks I shaved a ginormous bush in time for their summer bash. Thanks, a clean but regretful toaster. Oh, it's okay. It's just your dad and like, he doesn't know what hair is what hair. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:21 I don't think like a grown dad would look at a bathtub full of shower and think pubes men first of all are not even that perceptive perceptive he probably didn't even look in the tub like he wasn't even and if he did see it he would think oh maybe you know your husband shaved his beard when men see hairs like that they think how it happens for them when they shave their beard in the sink you know they get the hairs everywhere yeah I think there's just a human and it could have been so many hairs could have been armpit hair could have been like hair could you could have given yourself a little trim of your right hair so just keep that in your head is like if you ever if it ever comes up be like dad i cut my hair yeah men don't see hair at the bottom of the tub and think pubes i really don't think also it's
Starting point is 01:33:02 like okay so if he knew that it was your pubes like okay. No if he knew it was your pubes like I understand. No it's like it's not yes it's it's it's embarrassing but it's like not a big deal like no one got hurt. Everything's okay. Yeah well you know that actually had me thinking something I was thinking while getting ready this morning um that I wanted to just like hopefully bring up in conversation and now it actually does because you know I get all the time people are always like oh my god I'm so jealous of your hair it's so thick it's so healthy it's so shiny and it is it is all of those things but the next time you're feeling bad about not having like thick healthy hair just know that like the hair on my head and like that energy that the hair brings like brings itself in my armpits and my legs too you know yeah so if you have fair hair just know
Starting point is 01:33:48 like you don't have some of the problems I have okay that's I just I don't know why I was thinking about that but I was like because I look down I'm like I shaved my legs a couple weeks ago and now I'm like fully hairy I'm like I have to shave my legs again a couple this is the price I pay for having you know gorgeous follicles no I would say anyone who's shaving every few weeks. Oh, sorry. A few days. Oh, okay. No, like three days and my hairs are back to being fully grown on my legs.
Starting point is 01:34:14 Yeah. It's so annoying. It's so annoying. It never ends. And like if I have my armpits lasered and it was one of the best things I ever did because it totally, truly works. But the surface area of lasering my armpits is one one hundredth of the surface area of my legs, especially if I'm doing my thighs. So it's just so tedious and so painful.
Starting point is 01:34:35 Like there has to be a better way. Yeah. Lasering my upper lip. Perfect. It's a small piece of skin. My armpits. Perfect. My legs.
Starting point is 01:34:44 My legs, first of all, are huge. It's a lot of of skin my armpits perfect my legs my legs first of all are huge it's a lot of time energy pain and there's like no better way no and I sure as fucking not gonna wax my legs I just think that's insane no and I've like waxed my legs a few times and I didn't even find it to be that effective like all the like the hair is growing different directions maybe because I've shaved for so long that like it doesn't it wasn't even really that smooth after yeah they're like the hair removal industry needs to evolve I feel like we've been stuck with the same options for a while like tweezing threading waxing lasering you could nair that's pretty new technology so smelly and weird and unnatural I don't know something about it freaks me out.
Starting point is 01:35:25 Yeah, no, it's like Chernobyl. It's like toxic. It's like, why don't I just take a torch, a flame torch, what's it called? A flamethrower, and torch the hair on my legs. Nair seems very, and I'm not even like, you know, clean beauty girl. Like, I don't care what the fuck is in my lipstick. But Nair crosses a line. It's fucking toxic. Have you smelled it? No, I no I know it's giving Chernobyl it smells like Chernobyl
Starting point is 01:35:50 so I just feel like you know the hair removal industry has gotten comfortable with the options and I think they need to continue evolving maybe a pill but it would stop the hair in your head right and i like the hair growth on my head and that's it everywhere below my head bald please maybe a pill that stops hair growth but with an accompanying serum that you put in your scalp to nullify or act to nullify the effects on the scalp. Yeah, I like that. Get to work. Me? Yeah, figure it out. Formulate. Scientific toasters. Free idea. Go patent it. Yeah, I'll be
