Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning Millennials and welcome back to the morning toast. Happy Tuesday and happy kickoff to our next couple of weeks of maternity leave with guest co-hosts. And today's guest co-hosts, our first back in studio, we haven't done an episode in studio in 75 years, is Ben Soffer, my husband, also known as Boy With No Job, also known as the founder of the greatest canned beverage to ever hit the market, Spritz Society. Hi, Ben. Hi, darling.
Starting point is 00:00:26 How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. I'm thinking that we should contact Ruby Tuesdays and make them a permanent sponsor of the Tuesday episode. Why? Just because they'd come in, they'd bring us wings.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Have you ever eaten at a Ruby Tuesdays? No. I don't even know what it is. I assume it's like a TGI Fridays. Yeah. I think it's a regional thing because I've actually never even seen a Ruby Tuesdays in my vicinity. I've seen a Chili's, an Applebee's, a TGI Fridays. They're all very similar, I think. Yeah, but no, you're really opening my eyes to the fact that I've never eaten at a Ruby Tuesdays. Yeah, we should go. Yeah. Where do you think they're most prominent?
Starting point is 00:00:57 I don't know, not here. Like what part of the country? Not here. Definitely not here. I've seen one, I think maybe in New Jersey. That sounds about right. You can find almost anything in New Jersey. Like a Sonic. 100% true. What is your favorite of those chains? TGI Fridays, Applebee's, Chili's. What's your favorite? Hardcore.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Hardcore. I hope we have the same answer. The Bees. A hundred percent. Really, Applebee's is a neighborhood place. It's such a gorgeous institution. It is. It really is.
Starting point is 00:01:25 What do you get there? Great Diet Coke. Depends on like what I'm in the mood for. Should we go to Applebee's for lunch? I would love to. I love the bees. Me too. Except I do believe there's one in the city, but Applebee's in the city is like not the
Starting point is 00:01:37 vibe. The only thing that I'll say, and I don't know if this is the fault of airports or if this is the fault of whoever owns and controls Applebee's and Chili's, but these Chili's to go, Applebee's, those janky establishments that aren't real are putting a horrific name on the Applebee's Chili's franchises. Ben, I couldn't agree more, but I will not let you slander the good name of Applebee's because those are exclusively Chili's. They don't have Applebee's to go in airports. Positive. It's all Chili's.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Really? And I agree. It's disgracing the good name of chilies. Why do I have in my head? It's like that game where they show you like two, what's it called? The Mandela effect. Yeah. I promise you I've seen Applebee's to go stations in an airport. Have you? In an airport? No. I've only really seen chilies. Chilies. Chili's yeah okay but now I'm really hungry but do you know the conspiracy theory around that that they claim that we're living in two parallel universes and sometimes you dip into one and into another
Starting point is 00:02:32 and that's why you remember seeing an extra marshmallow on this box and I don't because we're living in different Mandela effect Mandela effect because we're living in different realities simultaneously for those who don't know the Mandela effect I found out about it on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:02:45 It's like, you might have this very distinct memory of like what the Fruit of the Loom logo looks like. Like it's a cornucopia with lots of fruits in it. But actually in reality, the Fruit of the Loom logo doesn't have a cornucopia on it. But it's like the way we perceived it.
Starting point is 00:02:59 So you say that the Mandela effect is due to parallel universe. I just say it's due to bad memory. But it's not bad memory if it's, if you're remembering more. Also, I'm not sure if it's the Mandela effect is due to parallel universe I just say it's due to bad memory but it's not bad memory if it's if you're remembering more also I'm not sure if it's the Mandela effect or Mandela but I'm not just putting that out there it's something with an M no it's it's the same word but I don't know how it's pronounced Mandela or Mandela I think Mandela like Nelson was it his no I don't't think so. So Ben is joining me here for the toast today. We have five stories of varying interests to you.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I tried to choose stories that you could speak on. We're going to talk a little bit about Love is Blind, but mostly because I know you have a Love is Blind rant that you want to go on. Is that correct? Not a rant, just a distaste for the show. By the way, I couldn't agree more. And we've got some acting news, some space news, and I'm just excited that you're here. Before we dive in, how are you?
Starting point is 00:03:48 I'm doing great. I'm exhausted. Many might not know that while you were on tour for three weeks, I, too, was on tour for three weeks. Different type of tour. No, you were there. It was a spritz tour, then coupled with me watching all of your shows, which I have to say is really, really wonderful.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Tickets available at girlwithnojob.com slash tour. Yes. I added another show in Houston, and I'm playing the Madison Square Garden Theater May 5th in New York City. Come see me. Tickets available at girlwithnojob.com slash tour. Sorry to interrupt. No, you're not interrupting. The show is really unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Thanks, Pops. Unbelievable. And it's really nice to see, like, nobody else will know this, but, like, we know some shows are better than others. Right. And when you get that amazing show it's like fuck yeah I have really enjoyed having you on tour with me the last time that we were I was on tour you were in a position where you couldn't come with me yep but now that Spritz is the sponsor of the tour we're doing all these pop-up meet and greets at Total Wines and Bevmo's you and we're selling Spritz at most of the shows. You have been able to come with me. And I have
Starting point is 00:04:48 to say, it's been such a delight, not only because there's someone to help me carry all my suitcases, but also because I'm not alone and I love having you. Yes, it's been great. It really has been great. Are you enjoying it? Yeah, I'm loving it. Okay, good. It's also just so cool to watch people love Spritz and love your show. And like, if you guys didn't know, Claudia finishes every show by chugging a grapefruit Spritz. And it's just like such a wonderful culmination of like two years of beautiful work, both on the comedy and beverage side. And it's, it's just really nice. Let me ask you something, because I get asked all the time about like which shows coming up. And for the most part, we try to sell Spritz at every single show. But at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:05:24 some elements are out of our control. the venue has like a legal um exclusive contract with a certain other beverage like not it's not i was just did a show in atlanta and we weren't able to sell it which totally stunk which wasn't our fault so coming up do you know which shows i'm going to austin dallas and houston do you know which shows we're going to be at yeah we're we're selling at every texas show great so i want So I want to clarify because I got a lot of DMs of people saying, why aren't you selling at the Atlanta show? All that I wanted to do was sell at the Atlanta show. It's not even the venues.
Starting point is 00:05:54 It's you have to get licenses for each state. And we haven't gotten our Georgia license yet. It's just not. It was not doable. It wasn't doable. OK. But Texas. We'll be there.
Starting point is 00:06:02 We're going hard in Texas. Yeah. And at the Madison Square Garden show. I mean, to be able to drink a spritz at MSG. Nuts. Nuts. What are you, nuts? What are you, nuts?

Starting point is 00:07:43 You know what? For $9. croissants, perfectly packaged in a lovely Lucite tin. You know what? When we go on vacation. For $9. When we go on vacation and we stay in a home with like a large pantry and a large kitchen, I'm excited by the idea of Costco. I usually want other people to go for me, but I'm excited by the prospect of the bulk
Starting point is 00:07:55 items. Living in our apartment now, like where are people who live in apartments supposed to put all that toilet paper? Costco's not made for us. No, it's not. That's it. Okay. Costco's not made for us. So, it's not. That's it. Okay. Costco's not made for us.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So we agree. Costco's made for one with a large home with a beautiful pantry. It's made for the Shapiros. The Shapiros have everything from Costco. The Shapiros literal
Starting point is 00:08:15 like TVs, their toilet paper, their light switches because they just renovated. You can get literally everything at Costco. Their daughter, Michaela,

Starting point is 00:08:38 Of course. And is there anything else you want to talk about before we dive into the Fast Five? No. I'm very excited to be here, and I'm more than happy to come back anytime. I know. We're going to need you depending on Jackie's availability. So I say that we dive in. Oh my god. I never get to do this part. Okay. Here are the Fast Five stories that you need to

Starting point is 00:09:15 That is like literally the most annoying game. And I beat it. I know I beat it. You kind of scared me. If you listen back, I beat it. Did we still get the crunch on the soundboard? Of course. Oh, okay.

Starting point is 00:11:53 All right, big news in the rock and roll industry. Dolly Parton responds to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks, but no thanks. So Dolly Parton has announced that she's pulling out of this year's nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, saying she hasn't earned that right. The music icon who's been elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame explained her decision in a statement posted on her official social media pages on Monday,
Starting point is 00:12:11 noting she didn't want to take votes away from the remaining nominees. Here's what she said. Even though I'm extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I do not feel that I've earned the right. I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.
Starting point is 00:12:26 She also went on to say that, like, she would be open to being nominated once she does a rock and roll album, which she wants to do one day because her husband is, like, a huge rock and roll guy. But at this point in time, our humble queen has decided to bow out. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah. Bow wow, old friend. Bow wow. Very respectable. I know. Can you imagine being like that? No. No. But wow, old friend. Bow wow. Very respectable. I know. Can you imagine being like that? No. No.
Starting point is 00:12:48 But it's so interesting. Like, when you told me this story this morning, I thought that maybe she didn't accept it because, like, she was above awards. No, no, no. She's not at all. No. It's quite the opposite. She is so appreciative.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah, but, like, why would Dolly Parton be nominated for, she's like a country music icon, why would she be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Here are some people who have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Starting point is 00:13:12 and the Country Hall of Fame. Brenda Lee, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Hank Williams, and the Everly Brothers. I mean,
Starting point is 00:13:24 and by the way, the other people nominated with Dolly Parton are Eminem, Lionel Richie, Duran Duran, and A Tribe Called Quest. And the question was, why is she even nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Right. And I guess there is. Because they probably are struggling like every other dumb award. Right. And need more people to talk about the award so it doesn't completely lose relevancy.
Starting point is 00:13:47 That's true. Which is why I thought you were going to say that she felt that she was above the award, that she didn't need it. No, no. She's a humble queen. It's clear she's never done rock and roll, so why the fuck would she be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? That's like me being in the NFL honors.
Starting point is 00:14:06 It's a little different. No, it very similar. Like I've never played football. I guess that's true. No, I guess, okay, it would be like me being, I don't know, I can't think of a comparison. Because she does music, she just doesn't do rock and roll music. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. It's fine. Like we, I stan a queen who knows her place. I really do.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah same. And so now out of the this nominees who do you think should get in for rock and roll? Yeah I was gonna say none of them are rock and roll. Lionel Richie is pretty rock and roll. No he's not. Or R&B. No he's R&B. Lionel Richie is an absolute king though.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Right. Have you seen the music video for Hello it's me... No, that's Adele. Hello, is it me you're looking for? Ben's favorite song. I can see it in your eyes. I can see it in your smile.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Stunning! It's a wonderful song and a great music video. So, I guess I really don't understand the criteria for who gets into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Because these people, Eminem, Lionel Richie, oh, Duran Duran is a rock band. Okay. And I'm not familiar with A Tribe Called Quest. Also not a rock band. So, based on this, who do you?
Starting point is 00:15:22 I mean, none. No, I would say Duran Duran. Okay. Is there a difference between the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Hall of Fame? Because it sounds pretty similar. It's the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and it's incredibly different. So the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you know, it's like the Hollywood Boulevard in LA. Boulevard.
Starting point is 00:15:42 You sound like... Hollywood Boulevard. It's the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame where you get a plaque on the street for just outstanding performance in entertainment, generally. Andy Cohen just got one. You can get one for, I think it's for overall TV movies. I don't think musicians really. Yeah, no, musicians get it. It's overall entertainment.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah. Snoopy, MRI, carousel. I'm just saying, this also feels like overall entertainment. It overall entertainment. It feels random. It feels random. For sure. Well, Wishing Dolly the Best. And we saw Dolly. Oh, you weren't there. I saw Dolly in Vegas. She was the host of the ACMs. Oh, very cool. And she was just first of all, hosting an award show at any age is so hard. Like, it's three hours of nonstop go, go, go.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You sing, you dance, you perform, you talk, you emcee. You have outfit changes. And she just did it with the utmost elegance and grace. And it was really kind of sickening to be in the same building as Dolly. Yeah, Dolly's great. Dolly's everything. I remember her as Hannah Montana's aunt. Godmother, yes.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Godmother? Yeah, I completely agree. I love how that's how our generation was introduced to Dolly Parton. Yep. Hannah Montana. I love that reference. Yeah. We should watch Hannah Montana again. Yeah, we should. All right. Next up is Love is Blind. So, the news is that Shaina Hurley from Love is Blind is engaged after the Kyle split, and it's not to anyone from the show. She's moving on. The Love is Blind star Shana Hurley is engaged to her boyfriend,
Starting point is 00:17:06 Christos Lardakis, after splitting from her Netflix co-star, Kyle, according to People. The Outlet reports that Shana, 32, accepted a proposal from Lardakis on Thursday
Starting point is 00:17:19 and that the couple has already made plans to tie the knot in Greece this summer. Shana is engaged. She's been dating Christos for almost a year and this is the happiest I've ever seen her an insider said. He has stood by her through all the love is blind drama and has been her steady in the storm. So people are freaking out because like it appears to them she just got engaged on the show but this
Starting point is 00:17:38 show was filmed a while ago. I'm sure it's been well over a year since the two were ever romantically involved. But I don't really care because I'm so over talking about these people. And I did want to give you a platform to tell us how you really feel about Love is Blind. It's the dumbest show on TV. Do you think this season was or just conceptually the show is a dumb concept? This is the only season I've seen. Oh, okay. Because the first season was like some of the best television I've ever watched in my
Starting point is 00:18:06 entire life. Cool. I literally watched one episode of this season. I was at the Shapiro's and I told them I will not watch any more of this. Let's go to the finale. Yeah. And then I watched the finale so I could understand what happens with these looney tunes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 These people are nuts. So I did a Patreon episode kind of recapping the first five episodes when I was really into it. And the overall consensus that I came to was like, so the first season was so good. And first of all, we got two married couples who are still together. This was like right before COVID. So it's been a while. How many couples go on the show in general? Well, so they have like tons of people do the experiment and tons of people even get engaged but the show only
Starting point is 00:18:46 ends up following certain people because either the people who didn't end up getting married were boring. Of the experiment, just because I do have a point here. You said the first season there are two couples that got married stayed married. So they classify that as a successful show. How many people entered
Starting point is 00:19:02 that room to date? Probably 30. maybe more. Okay, so I wonder if you run statistics. It's love, truly blind. I bet you 1 in 15 people, if they get married after three weeks, stay together. 1 in 15. I mean like I guess I get what you're saying, but I'm not so concerned as the experiment more than I'm concerned about just like entertainment value. And that first season was so good.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Got it. Okay. And me and Jackie were recapping and we think why it was so good is because you know we're used to watching TV shows like The Bachelor where people just go on and they're just looking for fame, they're looking for Instagram followers, they're not really looking for love. And they're all just like insanely good-looking, like to a point where it's just not realistic. And with Love is Blind, it's like we just got normal people who looked normal, acted normal they weren't overly thirsty they weren't ready to start youtube channels like they were just normal people and that i think was part of the reason why the show
Starting point is 00:19:53 was successful the first season the first season got it because that nothing you just said described this season in my opinion so now the second season i felt like the people they casted were so before i saw them acting on social media afterwards, like just when I was watching the show, I was like, yes, these people are so normal to the point that they are so unbelievably boring. Like they are like lifeless. And I thought that the greatest thing about the show was now working against the show. They casted people who were too normal.
Starting point is 00:20:19 But now they're all on social media, like acting a fool. I can't. Okay, so I don't even know if you know this. So it is rumored that Kyle, who was engaged to Shayna, is now dating Deeps. Deep T. I remember Deep T. Okay. What do you think about that?
Starting point is 00:20:35 I think that, again, it's very, very hard to really tell. It seems like Deep T really did go on that show. With good intentions. Looking for love. Even though, I'm sorry, why? Why would you go on a show looking for love? If you really want love, don't go on a show. Yeah, no, I agree.
Starting point is 00:20:54 But like, Ben, we're very blessed. Like, it is hard to meet someone these days. No, it's much harder to meet them on a reality show. I don't disagree. It's much easier to meet them through friends or at a bar or on Tinder. Yeah. If you're really looking for love, that's the thing that's flawed with all of this. Just acknowledge that people are – this is a great plot for a show.
Starting point is 00:21:13 You want to become – you want to get hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram. You want to be in the public eye. And you have a chance, you know. Maybe you'll like someone there. That's a good plot. What's the plot? The plot is just partying and having a good time, which is what these shows are anyway.
Starting point is 00:21:28 That's Love Island. Getting people overly drunk. That's Love Island. Great. So Love Island makes sense. Yeah, Love Island's a great show. Except why is it called Love Island? Because they're on an island.
Starting point is 00:21:36 It should be called Influencer Island. No, but they're literally on an island and they're all like hooking up. Yeah, but it's not love. There have been many couples, Shannon and Josh, who graced that couch. It could end up being love. But that's like the goal of the show. That's not the. There have been many couples, Shannon and Josh, who graced that couch. It could end up being love. But that's like the goal of the show.
Starting point is 00:21:47 That's not the goal. No, it is. It's not, though. No, no. It's literally the goal of the show. Okay. It's a good show. So congrats to Shayna on her engagement.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I will probably not be keeping up with Love is Blind anymore. This season just really was such a time waster. Who did Shayana originally like shane oh brutal brutal just nuts honestly and like actually i don't even want to talk about it it'll set him off set who off shane he'll find it he's the guy was really really crazy yeah and then the girl that he was dating natalie was equally as crazy and like mean they were just mismatched and terrible honestly like i just couldn't watch the show but so they were mismatched but the entire time they're standing on the altar talking about i i can't believe i'm
Starting point is 00:22:35 bringing up with my best friend oh my god you met three weeks ago how are you best friends it doesn't make any sense that's the whole thing everyone i, I've grown. You're my best friend. You're my everything. My, I can't believe it. Like, I can't believe how close we've gotten. Like what? You spent half the show in a box talking to each other and then two weeks in person and you got like engaged and your best friends. Like these people are so reckless. Ben, I couldn't agree more, but you're my best friend. Yeah, of course. After 10 years. I can't.
Starting point is 00:23:09 No, it's a good point. Like the best friend thing is like so. They all say it though because they don't know what else to put in their fake ass vows. Because how are you supposed to have vows about somebody you just met? Ben has literally become unhinged. Isn't that true? No, by the way, I couldn't agree more. They all say the same shit.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's so boring. And like you. Oh, also getting married at that brothel where they just fucking whore people in and out in the same exact room. Yeah, it's fucked up. That's gross. Yeah, it's fucked up. Oh, Deep T, you're done. Now it's time for Shane. Come on in, guys.
Starting point is 00:23:42 My best friend. Love you. It's sick. Ben, you are being so funny. Oh, my best friend. Love you. It's sick. You are being so funny. Oh my God. It's sick. I agree. And it's, it was really like a waste of my time. And I feel like that's an unpopular opinion because people are like dying. Like Kyle and deep tea were spotted together. Like people are just like gagging. Like I could not care less. Yeah. They were spotted together because this entire media paparazzi news cycle is begging you to have, just go back to it and keep your attention on the show and talk about it. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:24:13 So fake and manufactured and stupid. Ben, that was like top five, one of my favorite moments ever with you. Thank you so much for bringing joy to millions of toasters, including but not limited to Kylie Jenner. I told Ben. Yeah. I'm sorry. That's not nature. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I just want to say it was nature. And then there was a nail. And then there was a message that Jackie and I received. Can't say from who. Can't say from what. But it was pretty much a confirmation of what we had believed. I forgot. I got the DM this morning what we had believed. I forgot. I got the DM this morning.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Really? Yeah. I mean, you could sneak something else in. Yeah, no. But we're going to ask Kylie for another sign when Jackie's back on Monday. Because we don't know for a fact that Kylie tunes into the guest co-host episodes. Like, maybe she's a ride-or-die OG Jack and Claude Stan. It's possible.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Okay. So we're going to wait until Monday to ask for another sign. But just know, like, you are listening to a podcast that, like, Kylie Jenner most likely listens to. And that should make you feel good going about your day. Before we dive in, I'm really excited about the next sponsor because it's Purple, which is the brand of my smelly pillow. And you have been on the journey with smelly pillow and me.
Starting point is 00:25:20 And the toasters have been on the journey, too. And if you're not convinced to switch to Purple, then just wait because I'm about to change your life. There are all these gimmicks that promise a great night's sleep, but I don't care about what kind of toppers you have, how heavy your blanket is. It's all a lipstick on a pig. If you're sleeping on a terrible mattress,
Starting point is 00:25:37 you will sleep horrible and it's just that simple. That's why we recommend sleeping on a purple mattress because purple's only purple mattresses have the gel flex grid, which is the exact material that's in my smelly pillow and what makes it so smelly special. It's really like a unique, it's just a material I have never felt in my life before. And I didn't know good sleep until I was introduced to the brand Purple. I'm being dead serious. And you could try a Purple mattress risk-free with free shipping and returns.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And they also offer financing, which is great. It's super... Okay, so the Purple squishy material, which I just live to sniff, is super stretchy, ultra squishy material. It adapts and flexes around pressure points. And it doesn't retain any heat. So if you're a warm sleeper like we tend to be, Purple is going to be the mattress for you. They have great shipping. It's really easy. They're super customer friendly and their website's really easy
Starting point is 00:26:34 to navigate. Getting a great night's sleep starts with having a great mattress and get a Purple mattress when you go to purple.com slash TMT as in the morning toast and you use the code tmt so purple.com slash tmt code tmt for a limited time you can get 10 off any order of 200 or more that's purple.com slash tmt code tmt for 10 off any order of 200 or more purple.com slash tmt promo code tmt terms apply um let's be honest have you kind of felt threatened in the bedroom by smelly pillow you definitely love it and i would say that it is your adult stuffed animal that you sleep with a hundred percent you have the same type of need for smelly pillow as i did for a teddy bear when i was nine don't lie nine how old did you really but then i lost it i left in the cab oh my you're lying. It was the saddest day of my life. I left a sleepover, left him in the cab. Did you, were you in the cab by yourself? I think so. Maybe I was 13. You were 11 taking a cab by yourself? Maybe I was 13. Ben, don't lie. How old were you when you used a teddy bear? 17? No, no, no. This was in middle school. But whenever was the end. Maybe 12, 13.
Starting point is 00:27:46 That's so crazy. You were taking a cat by yourself. He was blue and beautiful. Oh. Yeah. I'm sorry. He's gone now. Well, that's what you get for being irresponsible.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Totally. It's the consequences of your own actions. I shouldn't take him anywhere. I should have left him at home. Oh, yeah. 100%. Like, something that important should never leave the house. I also...
Starting point is 00:28:00 But would you have been that kid at a sleepover, like, crying, calling your mom, like, Mom, I can't sleep without my smelly pillow? No. Okay. I just wouldn't... I would tell her to pick me up, calling your mom, like, Mom, I can't sleep without my smelly pillow? No. Okay. I just wouldn't. I would tell her to pick me up. Were you that kid? It's not I can't sleep.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Were you that kid who, like? Occasionally would need to get picked up? Yeah. From sleepovers? Yeah. Really? Unless I had, if I had my Blue Bear and I had my Honeywell fan. You brought your own fan to sleepovers? single sleepover in my life are you being
Starting point is 00:28:27 serious yes and if i didn't have it i couldn't sleep honey why because of the the cold cold and sound yeah you love like a sound machine asleep oh my god you are lying that i would show up with a fan and a bear you would pack up your things at your house be like mom let's leave in five and you would just throw a fan into your duffel? Bring my fan and my bear. How big was this fan? Was it a box fan? No, like a box fan.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Box fan would be bigger than me. Yeah. No, like, you know, like those. Bigger than you when you were 12? No, it's true. Same size. You know those Honeywell fans that's like. That have a stand?
Starting point is 00:29:02 Like they're flat. No. It's not like a big, it's. So it's a box fan? No, it's like, it's like this big. And it has like a stand and then a neck with the circle. It doesn't have a neck. The Honeywell is only tilted up and down.
Starting point is 00:29:16 So it has a neck because it moves up and down. No, a neck would imply that you can go like this. What does your neck do? Just this? No, your neck goes like this. Ben, you are being so funny today. No, but thank you. No, that's a good call.
Starting point is 00:29:27 No, the Honeywell fan has like a tilt. A tilt. Yeah, that's what I meant. That's not a neck. Okay, you know what I meant. Okay. Do you understand the fan I'm talking about? I can't believe you used to bring fans to a sleepover.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Like, you were so funny. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. That's cool. Cool. Okay, well, sorry. There's still more stories. Okay, done with Love is Blind. Which should we. Sorry. There's still more stories. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Done with Love is Blind. Which we go next? Oh, some heartbreaking news. Sandra Bullock is taking a break from acting. So Sandra Bullock has a new movie coming out, but she's planning on stepping back from acting. While promoting her film Lost City, which co-stars Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock told Entertainment Tonight that she's not sure how long of a break she'll be taking. But she said she does know that she wants to be in the place that makes her the most happy. She says, I take my job very seriously when I'm at work and I just want to be 24-7 with my babies
Starting point is 00:30:17 and my family. That's where I'm going to be for a while. Sandra Bullock is a mother to Louis, 12, and Layla, 10. What does she have planned with her kids? She plans on servicing their every need, including their social calendar. Okay, so Sandra Bullock is taking a break, and I just would love to be in a place in my life where I could just decide to stop working for a few months, you know? You did. When? Paternity leave when you weren't pregnant.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Excuse me, I'm running a business and we value family leave. Something you wouldn't know anything about. Okay? Value family leave. Certainly. Totally. By the way, let it be known that for three out of four of the maternity weeks, I was working. You were on tour. Totally. Bitch. Okay. I'm just kidding. Bitch.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Sorry. Bitch. So yeah, Sandra Bullock's taking a break from acting. How do you think that's going to shake up the Hollywood industry? It just sounds a lot like Tom Brady. Like, I'm retiring, big headlines, I'm back. What did you think about that? What did I think about Tom Brady? Unretiring.
Starting point is 00:31:15 I'm thrilled by it because he's amazing and he shouldn't have retired. I also think that the fact that he never thanked the Patriots in his retirement speech was really fucked up. Because he's the greatest player of all time. Because of everything that happened with the Patriots. The Patriots drafted him. Him and Bill Belichick. Him and his great receivers. No, you're right.
Starting point is 00:31:38 The most recent of his sort of accolades was with the Bucs. But his life of becoming a Hall of Famer was the Patriots. So I think this gives him a second chance to come back, maybe win another championship, and do it right. So my thoughts were that Tom Brady should have retired the first season after the Bucs. He just went out with a bang, a Super Bowl win. He proved he didn't need the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Like, he loved it, but he was still the greatest of all time, no matter what team he went to. So now, do you think he's waiting to win before retiring? It's possible. Because don't you want to go out? You don't want to go out a loser. Especially if you have a legacy. And he's so competitive. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Yeah. Did you hear about the guy that paid $555,000? Do you guys talk about this already? No, but can you explain it to me? So after Tom Brady retired, there's obviously the last touchdown that he'll ever throw. And the guy bought that ball at an auction for half a million dollars. Oh my God. But it's no longer the last touchdown ball he'll ever throw.
Starting point is 00:32:40 So the guy spent half a million dollars on... He just gets fucked? He gets fucked. You're kidding no i mean this is a very very rare circumstance right or actually it used to be it's becoming less rare right because shit is just changing no athletes are now like doing like encores and like pretending that they're not going to come back out on stage and then they do like did it uh who else did it tom brady did it there are way more that have done it whatever i'm blanking but no i know people come out of retirement fairly often these days got it okay i thought you were gonna say do you remember the guy in the stands who like caught
Starting point is 00:33:17 tom brady's last touchdown ball and then they took it away from him and gave him a bunch of crypto yeah and then tom brady was like actually can I have that back because we need to auction it. And what did they give him? They gave him a Bitcoin, which at the time was worth 70 grand and is now worth 39,000. Bitcoin is crashing? It's not crashing, but it's...
Starting point is 00:33:34 Fluctuating. It's on the lower end right now. Okay. What else did they give him? Other signed shit. But nothing is valuable. But now I bet he's happy because that ball... Was that the ball?
Starting point is 00:33:47 I don't know. That's what I was asking. If that was the ball, he should be thrilled. Yeah, because he just got... Even though actually now it's funny. You can spin things like now the ball is the controversy ball. And like I'm sure it's still worth a lot of money because it's the ball that was supposed to be the touchdown
Starting point is 00:34:01 that isn't the touchdown. And collectors just go nuts for serious one-of-one things like that. Yeah. So I'm sure it still holds value, but not near. I don't think it should be the same value. But it doesn't hold as much value as Sandra Bullock taking a break from acting. No. I didn't even know she was still acting.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Yeah, me neither. What was the last thing? Oh, she was in that Netflix movie. Miss Congeniality? No. She was in that Netflix movie that everyone died for, Bird Box, where they were all covering their eyes. But I never watched it because I don't like scary movies.
Starting point is 00:34:26 I didn't see it. Scary movie? I think so. The last thing I saw Sandra Bullock in, oh, Oceans 45 or whichever, the lady one. She was also in Space recently. You mean Space the movie? No, in the Space movie? Yeah, a movie about space.
Starting point is 00:34:39 She didn't go to space. No, no, no. Well, we have a story about someone going to space. No, she was recently in a movie about space. Not recently, maybe the last four years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we have a story about someone going to space. No, she was recently in a movie about space. Not recently, maybe the last four years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. COVID really just warped time for me.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I think that movie about space with Sandra Bullock, if you look it up, might have come out in 2016. Okay, I'll tell you. Hold on. I think it was called Gravity. Sandra Bullock movie
Starting point is 00:34:57 about space. Was it 2016? It was called Gravity and it was 2013. Oh! Yeah. Oh! 2013? No, life is so long, but it's so short. Oh was 2013. Oh! Yeah. Oh! 2013?
Starting point is 00:35:06 No, life is so long, but it's so short. Oh my God, that's crazy. I never saw it though. Me neither. Was it good? Oh, you didn't see it. Me neither. So yeah, I just think that like a Hollywood will never be the same.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Yeah, totally. Actors and actresses take themselves very seriously. I know. It's like, that's why I can't watch the Oscars. I'm like, these people are so out of touch. Very seriously. But also like, again, probably just her publicist and team
Starting point is 00:35:30 actually taking their jobs too seriously. I'm sure Sandra Bullock didn't come out and say, guys, we need to run press about me leaving Hollywood. You know what? The last line in this article from CNN Entertainment says, Lost City hits theaters on March 25th. It's like promo for the movie. It's promo for the movie.
Starting point is 00:35:46 But can I tell you how crazy, like, I went looking for stories this morning on every single website. The Sandra Bullock story was at the top. When it's like not even breaking news. No. We're on it. Good PR team. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Our last two stories are Pete and Kim. Skeet. Skeet. But they're separately and they're not really about the Kanye stuff. But if you do have any thoughts,'re more than willing more than um welcome to jump in but this story is about kim kardashian's brand skims they are debuting an inclusive skims swim line featuring innovative separates and one-piece suits so kim kardashian's empire is expanding the beauty and fashion mogul 41 announced on twitter and instagram that her ultra popular brand skims will be dropping its
Starting point is 00:36:24 first swimwear line this Friday. They posted a series of photos, including photos of herself modeling the new looks in the water and on the shore. So they obviously they're just swimsuits. There's bikinis. There's one pieces. There's cutouts. There's also like very Kim like like biker shorts and a tank top that are now bathing
Starting point is 00:36:42 suits. Are they going to be in the color of nudes? No, they're blue, they're gray. They're colorful. No, they're not beyond bright and colorful, but they're muted colors, like very Skims brand. I saw a bunch of influencers of all different sizes and shapes getting them on TikTok, and they all had rave reviews, like saying the material was so great, the colors were so great, the fit was so great.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Of course, Skims has gotten to be a three billion dollar company i think mostly because they're incredibly size inclusive and the bathing suits are going to be no different so while this isn't like life-changing news i did think it was really interesting because not too long ago kylie dropped kylie swim it's still in her instagram bio as her list of businesses but it did get like kind of roasted online for you know the material being kind of see-through and just like not being the greatest quality and i always wonder when kardashian brands like converge like kkw beauty and kylie cosmetics like where where's the competition you know so i don't know if kylie swim is like still going to be a thing
Starting point is 00:37:42 because she did one drop and then like we haven't really heard from her. And it appears as though this Skims swim is going to be extremely successful. I'm calling it. What do you think? How many more followers does Kylie have than Kim? Great question. I'll tell you right now. Kim has, it's so crazy that Kylie has more.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Kim has 292. Holy shit. And Kylie has more Kim has 292 holy shit and Kylie has 318 so that's like an entire another a-list actor in terms of reach right so what I'm trying to say is that you said that the reason why Skims is so successful is because they're so inclusive like sorry no that's not true no it's definitely a night it's really nice. And every brand should be inclusive so that I could go to Paul Smith and get a fucking t-shirt
Starting point is 00:38:30 instead of being this narrow. Right, right. It's a nice thing, of course. No, but I'm saying having that many followers doesn't guarantee a successful business. No, having that many followers though with a great product. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Does guarantee something. Yes, and so like Kylie has 318 million followers she launched Kylie swim and I think it would generally be considered a flop the brand hasn't posted on Instagram since October 2021 so I wasn't saying if it's a flop or not I was just saying that you said in terms of competing businesses then both going into swim or uh makeup or whatever I'm saying that Kylie has an extra 40 million people that she could talk to that maybe aren't fans of Kim. 30?
Starting point is 00:39:07 25. 27. Okay, so maybe it's a bad call. No, like, I just think, and this is the thing with the Kardashians that people never like to give them credit for.
Starting point is 00:39:15 It's like, yeah, they're the most famous people in the world, of course they're gonna be rich, but like, they have achieved like levels of successful business that are just beyond. Skims is for $3 billion.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Yeah. KKW Beauty sold for $3 billion. Yeah. K K W beauty sold for a billion dollars. Kylie cosmetics was valued with coat Cody, whatever at a billion dollars. Like that just doesn't happen because you're famous. Like it's another level. Yeah. Of success and like business. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:38 And they surround themselves with really smart business minds too. No, but they're also smart. Why do you have to say that? Would you say that about a man? Of course I would. There's, I forget her name.
Starting point is 00:39:45 There's, there's somebody that I found on Instagram that it looks like she runs all of their businesses. Tracy Romulus? Emma? From Shark Tank? No. Oh, maybe? What's her name? Emma what? Emma Greed? Or Greed? Yeah, I think that's it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:02 She was just on Shark Tank, by the way. So she was the initial investor in Good American. She launched Good American with Chloe. And now I think that's it. Yes. Yeah. Yes. She was just on Shark Tank, by the way. So she was like the initial investor in Good American. She launched Good American with Khloe. And now I believe she's involved in Skims. She's like this gorgeous queen. And she was just on Shark Tank. And I like fell in love with her. I just started following her on Instagram too.
Starting point is 00:40:16 She was so good on Shark Tank. Like really valuable insights. I think you would enjoy the episode. Yeah. I hope she does another one. I'm not taking anything away from them. By the way, it means a lot to also assemble a great team. I think you would enjoy the episode. Yeah. I hope she does another one. I'm not taking anything away from them. By the way, it means a lot to also assemble a great team. I agree. Like. I just think it was weird
Starting point is 00:40:30 that was the first thing you said. Oh God. Ben hates women. Yep, that's me. How does your sister and your mom and your wife feel about that? Interesting. Yeah. Interesting. I'll remember. I'll remember. Yeah, you should. I'll remember. So Skims Swim is coming. I actually feel like i might be purchasing
Starting point is 00:40:46 some swim i trust skims is just a great brand can you believe they're valued at three billion dollars yes you can't believe it yes i think it's so crazy like sell out of everything yeah they to your point have a great product i felt the material on the usa collab jammies. Yeah, my favorite pajamas. Great material. Yeah. And they've just captured drop culture like nobody can. That was like also the Kylie Lip Kits. That was so back in the day. Like I remember in college like literally being on KylieLipKits.com like refreshing, refreshing, refreshing.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And I think one of my greatest claims to fame is I was able to get like two out of three of the OG Kylie Lip Kits. Amazing. Yeah. Those were the days. Um, okay.

Starting point is 00:42:56 are going to fly on Jeff Bezos' suborbital rocket into space. Cool. So Pete Davidson will become the latest celebrity to fly to space with Jeff Bezos' rocket company, Blue Origin, in a brief suborbital flight slated for later this month. The company announced
Starting point is 00:43:10 Monday morning that Davidson, the Saturday Night Live star who's become a pillar of entertainment intrigue amid his relationship with Kim Kardashian, will fly alongside
Starting point is 00:43:17 five paying customers on Blue Origin's 60-foot-tall New Shepard rocket. The launch is slated for March 23rd at 8.30 a.m central time and the announcement comes after cnn confirmed earlier that davidson was in talks with the
Starting point is 00:43:30 company for a seat aboard its supersonic rocket which launches vertically from a rural texas launch pad on bezos's ranch um okay would you ever go to space yeah yeah yeah do you think there's like a chance like of you dying? No. If you got the opportunity, I don't think I would want you to go. I would definitely go. I think I would too. Yeah. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:43:52 But would you pay? No. I think what's embarrassing about this is the five paying customers. And how much? Give the money to charity. You obviously have too much. It's a lot. Because I think me and Jackie were talking about it. One of these, it's not like a full trip to space where you're like in a rocket. You just it's
Starting point is 00:44:07 like 20 minutes like you go up and down. It's a supersonic. That's what all these celebrities Richard Branson they're all doing that. And in order to do one successful supersonic trip I think it costs like $250,000. So your tickets need to be equal to 250. So what's $250,000 divided by five? What's $50,000? That's not. There's no way. Yeah, no, it's a lot. No, that to me would be a little.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Yeah, no, I think it's probably more than that. There's no way that it's $50,000. But that's what it costs Jeff Bezos, $250,000. It's a great business model for him. Right. He gets to send people to space. There's no way he's charging anything less than a quarter of a million dollars. That's insane money.
Starting point is 00:44:43 People are so wasteful. Yeah. But one time if you're really loaded, you want to go up, peek at space. It's kind of cool. Yeah, I guess. Again, I wouldn't do it. Do you think Kim is going to be waiting down? Probably.
Starting point is 00:44:55 At the ranch for Pete? Actually, no. Like if she wanted to go, she could go. Right. No, or maybe she just wants to like witness it. Interesting. Do you think they're cute? Like what's your vibe?
Starting point is 00:45:04 I love Pete Davidson. I've always thought he was hysterical. And, like, literally the only reason why SNL is still on TV is because Pete Davidson and Kenan Thompson have carried the fucking show on their backs. And Kate McKinnon. And Kate McKinnon. And Kate McKinnon. Yep.
Starting point is 00:45:18 And what's her name, actually? Chloe Fineman? No. No. Amy Bryant. Yes. Yeah, I agree. Love her. Yeah. But No. No. Aidy Bryant. Yes. Yeah, I agree. Love her.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Yeah. But Pete. Great. It's, I think, part of the reason why SNL has remained, like, firmly in popular culture, at least. And his roasts are so good. Like, he's always, he's now, like, a pillar. Of the roast.
Starting point is 00:45:39 What the hell is his name? Jeff Ross. Jeff Ross. I can't remember anybody's names. I know. I was about to say Bob Ross. He's a pillar like Jeff Ross at these roasts, and they're just so good. So the question was, what do you think about them as a couple?
Starting point is 00:45:51 I know you got off track. No, no. I was getting there. Okay. No, no. I was just really being helpful. I was being helpful, I swear. I was not being a bitch.
Starting point is 00:45:58 I think that it's like a little weird, but. The relationship? Why? I don't know. I don't know. Age't know age i'm not sure what don't you like about it let's talk it through because you're wrong so i want to get you to the right side i don't know no i i don't think that it's weird now i think that it just felt weird then but i guess maybe it felt weird because it definitely felt random but like not really like pete is known for dating the most eligible women in hollywood and kim just became a single eligible woman i guess that that's the piece though that like in just such a superficial
Starting point is 00:46:29 hollywood it just is a little bit strange to me like i love the idea of all of these people valuing humor over everything else right because you're saying he's not conventionally good he's not conventionally good looking and he's not conventionally rich. He is. Well, not compared to her. There's just, no, there are just things that you are used to superficial Hollywood holding value in. And Pete has broken down those barriers. Yeah. No question.
Starting point is 00:46:56 He has. Yeah. We love that. No, we do. I'm just saying it seemed strange in the beginning. Now it seems lovely. Yeah. But I'm a big fan of Pete's.
Starting point is 00:47:06 I'm just saying that it's a... It doesn't sound like you're a big fan of it. No, no, I am. It seems like you are literally with pitchforks. No, because I really think that this is the best relationship of all time. When they break up, I will be so sad. No, it is. But you need to definitely admit that it was a very different and shocking choice...
Starting point is 00:47:24 For Kim? For Kim. Why? I don't know. Why the hell would she be with Chris Humphries? Because he's an NBA player? Because he's good looking? And because he's rich?
Starting point is 00:47:34 I think that Pete Davidson is more rich than Chris Humphries. That's just a lie. Really? Yeah. Is Chris Humphries good? It doesn't matter. He's an NBA player. They probably need $100 million.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Pete Davidson is like a really successful comedian. He's an NBA player. They probably need $100 million. Pete Davidson is like a really successful comedian. He's on SNL. He has done a lot of movies. They're not even close. How much money? Okay, that's a good question. How much money do you think Pete Davidson has? Like the Pete Davidson today, I guarantee you, he has more money today than he's had the rest of his career.
Starting point is 00:48:04 And I bet you that his net worth is literally a million dollars all right let's say i don't think you're right how much money his net worth is eight million dollars and by the way i bet you that went up seven since he started dating chris humphries net worth i don't know why we're comparing chris humphries by the way not net worth career earnings oh okay because his net worth was really high okay so it'll be career earnings oh i didn't know that was a thing oh my god and now i want to go through every single and now i want to go through every single person 62 million and now i want to go through every single person that kim has dated why because this is important i'm right what are you right about what's the
Starting point is 00:48:39 point i'm not understanding the point is that the reason why it was a strange choice is because based on her historical preference of men she's been married for 10 years based on her historical preference of men including her current her past husband so reggie bush okay good reggie bush money looks fame yeah humphries money looks fame, money looks fame, just like on a different scale. No, no, no. Kanye, money looks fame. The most famous person ever. Yeah, but now Kim is the most famous woman on the planet. She doesn't need... I understand, which is why she chose to pick somebody that she really liked, which I value.
Starting point is 00:49:18 And I think it's great. I'm not sure what your message is here, but I think we are agreeing. What my message here is, is that the original choice caught me off guard because I typically know Kim's relationships at least from a bird's eye view you know Kim to be rather superficial yeah no by the way and this one seems to have come from a place of love okay I agree you coming for me with a pitchfork. No, I just really wasn't understanding what you were saying, and I'm still not like 100% sure what you were saying, but I know that I love you and I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:49:51 How don't you know what I'm saying? Every single person that Kim started dating was rich, good-looking, and famous. She started dating Pete and he was, I'm sorry. Rich, good-looking, and famous. You think Pete Davidson's a good looking guy? In a unique way, for sure. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I just want to let you know, like, the general consensus, like, from popular culture is, like, Pete Davidson is hot. Okay. In a different way. Okay. That's fine. Not as hot as you, obviously. No, by the way, I don't care. I just...
Starting point is 00:50:27 He's not good looking by the standards of this Hollywood regime. Not the regime. He doesn't look like them. 100%, 100%. I just feel like let's... You're twisting my words. I'm really just sitting here
Starting point is 00:50:39 and I just... You're twisting my words. I think we should just put a fork in it, you know? Okay. I'm very happy for them. Those were the Fast Five stories. Ben, thank you so much for joining us. Is there anything else
