Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to the Morning Toast. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone had
a great long weekend. Well, your weekend wasn't long, but ours was. I am joined in studio for
the first episode of the week with a replacement co-host because Jackie is still in Dallas,
and it is none other than the one, the only, my husband, my rose is my husband, Ben Soffer. Hey,
Ben. A replacement co-host. What else would it be?
I don't know. It's just like such a horrific intro. I'm joined by a replacement co-host.
Yeah, that actually, you're right. It was kind of... It's like, why am I even here?
Because you're replacing the co-host. It's true. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me.
I know you're beat up from a long weekend celebrating. I'm good. We are dead.
Yes. We are dead human beings. My voice sounds a little weird, but I feel fine. Well, I don't feel
fine, but I'm not like sick. Ben and I were journeying through all of Canada this past
weekend. I was in Toronto and then we were in Montreal for a wedding. And now, like, I will
never be the same the way that I talk. I've started
to talk differently because I've been in Canada for so long.
Montreal? You did. What did you say yesterday
that I stopped you? I'm like, what was the word?
Fuck. You didn't stop me but
I also noticed that
we happened to be in Montreal
for a
wedding but it was also
the big F1 race
which is called G-R-A-N-p-r-i-x right grand prix um i've
been calling it because everyone in montreal is at grand prix yeah um so i was like grand prix
grand prix and i was surprised you didn't make fun of me for it it's grand prix it's grand prix
but everyone in montreal was saying grand prix got it grand prix grand prix it's similar i think
you're gonna say that people here say it's pricks No, no, no, no, no. I was like, what? That's funny
though. No, so I've just been like talking so differently, I feel like. Yeah. Grand Prix. Yeah.
We didn't go to Grand Prix though, by the way. No, no. We just happened to have a wedding in
Montreal the same exact weekend. It was really fun. I'm dead. Yeah, we only benefited from
the three times. Yeah, everything. Flight prices. So times flight prices, traffic, canceled airplanes.
Oh my God, I can't.
It's fine.
I went to Toronto on Thursday, and I happened to be flying out to Toronto the same day that
Olivia was separately flying from Florida to New York, Jackie was flying from New York
to Dallas, and every single one of our flights was canceled.
It was a crazy weekend.
If you travel this weekend, like I feel for you.
I don't know what's going on.
People are not okay.
I think there's like labor shortages.
It's just atrocious.
I had two flights canceled on me in one day.
I can't even get into it because I have so much trauma.
But all I want to say is that I will never leave my home again.
The wedding though was gorgeous.
Yeah, it was great.
I just want to say.
Oh yeah, I'm not clowning on the wedding.
Before we shit all over Montreal.
No, but, excuse me, don't speak for me.
I'm not planning on shitting on Montreal.
I have to talk about their bagels.
Yes, you do.
But I just want to say.
Gorgeous town.
Gorgeous was amazing.
Very clean.
Gorgeous was amazing, is what I just said.
Wedding was amazing.
Everything was gorgeous.
Town was gorgeous.
The trains, so clean.
I didn't take them.
So clean.
But very nice town.
I agree.
Like, really clean.
Beautiful.
A little too many stoplights.
I felt like to go five blocks, it's a 30-minute journey because the lights, like, there's
so many and they don't go in sync with each other.
They got to get them in sync.
It was annoying.
But please, go on your bagel tirade while I have it.
I just got so many DMs asking me, what what's better a Montreal bagel or a New York
bagel as if it's a competition so I thought wow I'm in for a treat these Montreal bagels must be
amazing and I'm here to tell you that they're dog shit they're so thin they're not good they
taste like gluten-free bagels really they're terrible did you accidentally order a gluten-free
bagel no uh cream cheese tasted a little bit different i don't know if it's the same i don't know if the
cows here the same as the cows there it's like something about it it wasn't salty it was very
plain it tasted more pasty so out of none of the locks that i had was good out of 10 what are you
giving montreal bagels a three the bagels i had were were like significantly worse
than an la bagel a chicago bagel i've had a thousand bagels outside of new york within the
united states that were better than the montreal bagels that i had it's a hot take i don't think
it is i think that the people who ask montreal or new york was that a good accent no i don't know
what that was montreal or New York just have
never been to New York and never had a New York bagel. They just like. What do you think about
that chain of bagel restaurant, bagel like shops that I think it's called Brooklyn Bagel that ship
New York water to like LA and Florida to make bagels in Florida with New York water? Because
if you don't know, the reason why New York bagels are the best is because the New York water is different and that's what goes into the dough so there's a
company that literally ships barrels of New York water all over the country to their own bagel
shops to make what they think are New York bagels but like in San Francisco sounds like a Ponzi
skim yeah you don't believe it they're definitely not shipping New York water yeah they're lying
they're saying this is made with New York water because nobody's ever going to fucking
taste the difference because they live in Los Angeles.
It's literally the best call.
They're not shipping water.
It's such a good call.
There's water there.
They're not shipping water.
Such a good call.
They're lying.
Wow.
They're lying.
We don't know for a fact.
You know, we don't want to get sued.
What company is it?
It's called Brooklyn Bagel.
You've never seen like the...
I probably have, but I don't even think it's...
It's probably not good.
I've never had it. I always thought it was like an interesting concept. You know what's really not good? Have you ever had Einstein? Never in my life. That place,
Einstein Bagel, pops up everywhere. There's an Einstein everywhere. It's true. And you know,
speaking of bagels, that reminds me, I needed to talk about the new LaGuardia Airport.
Now, for those who don't know, LaGuardia Airport has always been like an actual crack den.
Like, it's literally always been tiny,
really close to Manhattan, not a ton of flights,
and not like, it's not a premium experience.
There's not like lounges and restaurants and bars.
It's like, you go there, you get in, you get out.
It's quick.
Super close to the city.
You're not spending hours there on a layover.
Like, you're just going. It convenient it's not glamorous and literally since I was born they
have been new LaGuardia like redoing I literally have vivid memories of being a six-year-old like
going on family vacation to Florida pulling up and it's like it's been a disaster construction
zone for years I think it's totaling around five billion dollars is what they've spent
and recently like they've started to open5 billion is what they've spent. And recently,
like they've started to open up these terminals that they've been working on for actually 50
years. And I have to say, people are, like I was talking about it with a lot of people at the
wedding. They were like, oh my God, it's amazing. There's an H&H bagels. It's so clean and big. Like
people are so fucking dumb. It blows my mind. What they did to LaGuardia is a disgrace.
It is a disgrace to humanity.
I don't need an H&H Bagels.
I don't need a fancy bookstore.
Like, literally, I want to walk one foot from my Uber to the gate.
That's what it used to be.
You could get from your Uber to the gate in literally 100 steps.
Now, we got off the plane.
We were wandering around this forlorn terminal for 45
minutes. A tunnel, a terminal, a tunnel to another terminal. Oh, no, you want to go to baggage claim?
Sorry. 45 minute walk this way. I was ready to literally kill someone at the end of it.
It was horrible. So do I care that it's like fancy? There's an H&H bagels. I never go to H&H
bagels in the city. Why the fuck would I go in the airport who cares
airports are not meant for lounging so everyone who's like oh my god it's amazing like all these
restaurants shut up like you're dumb like you're literally so dumb and stupid I hate the new
LaGuardia literally every person who contributed to making it the concrete shithole that it is like
deserves jail for life and I will never after what I experienced yesterday, I will never, literally, you will
never catch me, my big fat ass, in LaGuardia Airport ever fucking again.
Fuck you.
Do airports get paid for by taxpayer dollars?
Probably.
People's priorities.
That's upsetting.
People's priorities, though, are really out of whack.
It's very bizarre.
No, okay, ready?
You don't need restaurants because the
idea is that you're not supposed to spend a lot of time there. Or money. Yeah. Well, whatever.
Okay. Here. I have a perfect example. I've been on tour for a while. I've been to literally every
airport. And I would say the best airport in the entire world. Is it Kansas City? It's Kansas City,
Missouri. Now I'll have you know, the first time I went to Kansas City, Missouri. Now I'll have you know the first time I went to
Kansas City, Missouri I was posting on Instagram like so excited to be doing a show in Kansas City.
People were sending me messages like we're so sorry about the airport like don't let it be a
reflection of how you feel about Kansas City. Do not like let it don't don't hate us because
of the airport. So I'm like what am I walking into? Because to me the definition of a terrible airport is something
huge with walks to your gate that take 45 minutes walks to the ground transportation that take an
hour so my imagine my surprise I land at Kansas City and I get into a taxi I swear to god 45
seconds after stamping off the plane it's's literally, the airport can't be more
than a thousand square feet.
It's the craziest thing.
There's not a Starbucks.
There's literally one little man selling muffins.
It's literally like the most low budget thing.
And it is the best airport I've ever seen.
Like normalize not liking airports that are fancy.
It's a scam and people are so dumb for believing it.
It's bothering the shit out of me.
Like we had one nice thing. We had LaGuardia. It was small. It wasn't fancy. It are so dumb for believing it. It's bothering the shit out of me. Like we had one nice thing.
We had LaGuardia.
It was small.
It wasn't fancy.
It was tiny and it was convenient.
And now it's ruined.
Just like everything else.
This is why we can't have nice things.
What do you think is actually the best?
Because look, that airport sounds nice for the particular situation that you had.
You can get to your flight 20 minutes before. It's incredible.. You can get to your flight 20 minutes before.
It's incredible.
If you can get to your flight 20 minutes before, then it's a great airport.
But I was going to say, I think the best airport in the country that I've been to.
I know what you're going to say.
Okay.
Let's say it on the count of three.
Wait, are we saying the name or the acronym?
The name.
I don't know the acronym.
I only know the acronym.
Oh, then we're saying different ones.
Okay.
I'm not saying Newark or you.
No.
Terrible.
It's PBI.
Oh, PBI is really good.
Nantucket is also good.
No, PBI.
The Palm Beach Airport is the perfect blend of we have some food, like a little pizzeria,
so you can get a nice snack, but it's small.
But we're not overdoing it.
We're not overdoing it.
You're not going to have to walk more than 10 minutes to find your gate.
Yeah.
I agree.
It's a great airport.
Gorgeous. And I'm trying to think to walk more than 10 minutes to find your gate. Yeah. I agree. It's a great airport. Gorgeous.
And I'm trying to think where I went recently that was like the worst.
It was somewhere in Texas.
Huge.
Like trams.
I hate a tram.
Okay, but you know what?
I don't hate a tram because if my alternative is walking to my gate, I'm taking that fucking tram.
No, a tram is better for sure.
I like a tram.
So I'm just like bent out of shape and I don't think I'll ever be traveling ever again.
Like, I think traveling is...
It's not for me.
It's not for me.
You don't want to go to Florida this weekend.
I know.
It's not for me.
Like, I can't imagine getting back on a plane after what I've been through.
But Florida.
Now, before we dive in, I had a few more things I wanted to talk about.
Okay.
The first is literally what I woke up for today.
Like, the reason for the season, the reason why I'm here
today is to talk about The Summer I Turned
Pretty which is the new show on Amazon
based off of the three books, the trilogy by
Jenny Han which I read last summer
and loved so much
and I've been waiting for this TV show to come out
it's on Amazon Prime, if you haven't watched it
go watch it, it's so good
if you're thinking about reading the books before
I highly recommend, the first season of this show only covers the first books If you're thinking about reading the books before, I highly recommend.
The first season of this show only covers the first book, so you only have to read the
first one.
You watched a couple episodes with me, but when I tell you, I've never, not never, but
I can't remember a time in recent history where I've been so obsessed with a TV show.
One, because I read the book, so I'm super invested in it.
Two, I love the concept.
It's like that preteen coming of age story.
You know, you start like, it was just, it was too much.
And the soundtrack.
So I can't also remember a time in recent memory
where I was so impacted by the soundtrack of a TV show.
It was incredible.
I couldn't have chose the songs better myself.
We had Olivia Rodrigo.
We had so much Taylor Swift.
We had Billie Eilish.
We had Bleachers. We had Phoebe Bridgers. I've been listening to the soundtrack playlist on Spotify. myself we had olivia rodrigo we had so much taylor swift we had billy eilish we had bleachers we had
phoebe bridgers i've been listening to the soundtrack playlist on spotify it's so good i
just like i spent every free moment i had this weekend thank god shout out to the w in montreal
for having amazon prime because i don't know what i would have done they had it on the tv it was so
premium i fucking loved it now i have a few things like obviously i wasn't obsessed with that i'll
get into in one second but before i say say the negative, I just want to say I loved
everything about it. They had a few changes. You know, if you read the book, a lot of people were
like all bent out of shape, like they changed so much. I actually didn't think that they changed
that much. And when you do adapt a book, like you have to change some things. So here's what they
changed. One, Jeremiah is bisexual, which I don't believe he was in the book, but doesn't really change
anything.
So who cares?
The other thing that they changed was a lot of the show was centered around the debutante
ball, which is like not a thing in the book.
But it also didn't bother me because they thought the way they did it was really visually
stunning.
And like that scene, you guys know, I don't want to spoil it.
I won't spoil it.
But like when That's The Way I Loved You came on like dead like it was it was so good I know you watched a
couple episodes with me um but like who cares because I'm talking
I was gonna say you can stop saying that I realized that like I haven't let you
talked in a while but like I just need to get this on my chest the one thing I
did not like about the show the one thing that I did not like was this oh also another thing that was not in the book was Cleveland Castillo but I kind of liked that
little um addition so I didn't mind the one thing I didn't like was and the person who I thought was
miscast which upsets me deeply because I actually really like this character um was Susanna I thought
the actress who played Susanna was like giving community theater it was giving like bad acting
and I was just like kind of cringing in a lot of her scenes, which is
sad because she's an important character. And she's from Seventh Heaven and the
Clueless TV show. Like she's an iconic TV actress. Did you remember that?
I do now.
Did you watch Seventh Heaven growing up?
Of course.
So good.
They know there's no better feeling than the love of the family.
Seventh Heaven.
It's weird how much Christian family vibes got into my incredibly Jewish home.
So true.
It's an amazing point.
Same with us.
Just like what?
No, but Seventh Heaven, amazing show.
Yeah, but didn't something terrible happen with...
The dad, I think he's in jail.
He turned out to be literally an enormous predator.
That's what it was, right? Yeah. I think his name is Steven jail. He's like he turned out to be like literally like an enormous predator. That's what it was right?
Yeah, like I think his name is Steven something. He's like disgusting.
But still, Seventh Heaven? Slaps. So watch it. Like I can I loved it so much. I've
been in like a TV hangover ever since. Like I don't think I'll ever be that
happy again. My life was so good when I had episodes in front of me. The fact
that they made it seven episodes, 45 minutes, like it's not long enough. I
loved every minute of it. It was so beautifully done. I don't know where they shot it but it was just gorgeous I loved it
it was so good and that's what I wanted to say here on the toast today and now I'm ready to move
on anything else you want to talk about before we dive into the past five stories oh I do I basically
am doing a podcast alone today sorry it's just we haven't been on since Thursday so there's like a
lot of catching up to do um breaking bread for those who missed the live show last week it's just we haven't been on since Thursday so there's like a lot of catching up to do Breaking Bread

Don't be sorry.
You're carrying the show.
But now I'm ready to do an amazing show with my replacement co-host.
Ooh. Sorry, I just need to crack my amazing show with my replacement co-host. Ooh.
Sorry, I just need to crack my neck.
You think they can hear the crack in the microphone?
Probably not.
Cool.
Ben loves to crack his neck.
I really do wish I could.
Sometimes I'm like, oh, if only I could just crack my neck.
Yeah, but the problem is once you crack it, then you need to crack it and crack it and
crack it and crack it.
How many times a day?
You need to become a slave to the crack.
How many times a day do you crack your neck?
I don't even know at this point.
All the time.
You do it.
And then all of a sudden, like five years, I'm going to wake up unbelievably arthritic. Yeah.
Not being able to move my neck. 100%. Because of these like little cracks that I do.
Meanwhile, you long term, your neck's going to be perfect. You should work on stopping that then.
No, it's done. It's like smoking cigarettes. Totally. That's it. I'm addicted
to the crack. Okay, well, I feel like without further ado,
do-do-do-do, where are you? It's time for
the Fast Five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of
your morning toast. Oh, fuck. I forgot that you do that. You are so annoying. Beat it.
You beat the cringe. Beat it. Congratulations. You beat the cringe. Congratulations. Beat
it. Ben, you played yourself. Also, for those wondering, Jackie is back in studio tomorrow she's traveling back from Dallas

Okay, so first story is some Broadway news.
And normally I don't care about Broadway news, but this is like, you know how much this means to me once I tell you the headline.
Ready?
Lea Michele might finally be Funny Girl on Broadway after Beanie Feldstein is bailing.
Wow.
So, the rumor is no laughing matter for Lea Michele fans.
Rumor is no laughing matter for Lea Michele fans.
The 35-year-old was reportedly the producer's pick to play Fanny Bryce in Funny Girl once Beanie Feldstein leaves the role in September, according to Showbiz 411.
A representative for Lea Michele declined to comment when she was contacted by New York Post.
But Michele has publicly manifested her desire to play the Barbra Streisand original character for years.
She got a taste on the first season of Glee when she sang Don't Rain on My Parade.
She also performed the show tune at the 2010 Tony Awards. So let's unpack this. Let me give you like
the debrief. So you know. I know everything. But do you know that like. I don't know why Beanie
Feldstein stepping back besides the fact that people said it's not good. So Beanie Feldstein
was playing this role for six months. Yeah. Which for like a major A-lister lead role,
this is what people like on TikTok who are Broadway experts are saying, like it's very
uncommon. Like she should be staying longer. Jane Lynch is also leaving, who plays Beanie Feldstein's
mom, Fanny Bryce's mom in the play. But for like, for not a main character, that's common after six
months. But like for a headliner, what people are saying, it's kind of weird. But there's been a lot
of weirdness. So when they announced that Funny Girl was becoming a Broadway show, of course, everyone
was like Lea Michele.
Not only because she looks so much like a young Barbra Streisand, she's been like a
Barbra Streisand advocate like her whole life.
She's obsessed with Barbra Streisand.
Then her character in Glee was obsessed with playing Funny Girl on Glee.
She did in the sixth season eventually get to like become the role of Fanny Bryce, whatever. And anytime they've ever been asked about a Funny
Girl Broadway revival, it's always been Lea Michele. But then Lea Michele had some like bad press
like a little over a year ago. And then they announced that the show was coming. And I think
that like the producers either didn't want to work with her because of her bad press or for whatever
reason. And they went with Beanie Feldstein, which I thought was such a bizarre choice.
I didn't even know that she sang.
And I have seen a couple clips on TikTok of her performance.
And I have to say, it is underwhelming to say the least.
Like, the song specifically, Don't Rain on My Parade, is such a big song.
You need, like, someone with a huge voice who can belt.
And when I saw a clip of her scene, like the, the climax of that song,
I was,
I was shook.
I was like,
this is terrible.
And so the fact that she's leaving is crazy because it's been such a short
amount of time.
And if Lea Michele does get it,
like I do think it will be so much better than,
than Beanie Feldstein.
Yeah.
I mean,
her voice is amazing.
Her voice is amazing.
She is the character.
Wasn't her bad press that she's, like, mean?
Yeah, that, like...
Because maybe it's not the bad press.
Maybe they didn't want to work with somebody that's mean.
Well...
Like, I assume that she's an absolute nightmare to work with.
Well, the thing is, is, like, well, yes, I think maybe they didn't choose her.
I think they didn't choose her because of the bad press.
Because everyone in Hollywood is difficult to work with. And I don't think Lea Michele is exceptionally different than
anyone else I just think she got called out publicly interesting so and like brands were
dropping her it was like her little cancellation got it but I do think if she does get this role
like that will officially be behind her like that whole but it has really affected her for a long
time yeah she's been like very quiet she had baby. Like she hasn't really worked a ton,
but now she's doing this spring awakening thing on HBO Max.
She's like getting more involved back,
especially with Broadway.
So I do think that like her time has come.
I'm sure she's like swallowing like a,
you know,
a lot of her pride and eating humble pie.
The fact that like she's having to take the role from Beanie Feldstein and she
wasn't like the first choice for everyone.
She could think about it like that, but if she came and did it, it would be significantly
better.
And you know how much I hate Broadway shows.
Yeah.
But I would see this in a second.
Like I would go to opening night.
I would do everything I can to get tickets.
For sure.
It's, it's literally like, it's me playing Tracy Turnblad.
Like things just make sense, you know?
It's, you know, it's kismet, you know?
And as much as you might not like Lea Michele,
you have to admit, like, no one could play this role on the planet better than her.
Mm-hmm.
And I hope that this is true.
Mm-hmm.
And I guess we'll find out.
Agreed.
Justice for Lea Michele might be coming around,
might get served.
Mm-hmm.
And we're happy for her, so I...
It's funny, I actually know a lot of people
that went to see Funny Girl.
Really?
And, or by a lot of people,
I mean two different sets of people. Okay. And both times Beanie Feldstein
was sick. Out. Yeah. Yeah. She seems to have been out a lot. It's just been like a really
weird thing that she did because I don't really think that people were expecting
it to be her. I do love that she's a Jewish Queen because like it's such a Jewish role. And Lea Michele I believe is half Jewish. So it's like it's
authentic. But I don't think it was the right thing for her. I think it made her
like look bad. I think a lot of people, you're right, saw her understudy do it.
Who I heard was great. There's just been like whispers that she's not been like
pleasant. Like I don't think it was the right move for Beanie.
Especially coming off of the TV show.
What was it called that we watched about Monica Lewinsky
where she was incredible.
Impeachment.
She was a star.
Amazing.
She was amazing in it.
But maybe what you're saying
is why she's been out.
Maybe the song's just a little bit too big.
Yeah,
I think the role is too big for her.
Maybe it's just bad casting.
I think it was poor casting
and I think like
the way they went
out of their way
to not give it
to Lea Michele
because of her
bad press
was silly
because now I think
they're gonna go
with her anyway
but later
I do think it
should have been
her to start
alright well that's
your little Broadway
news that we don't
really talk about
but we'll keep you
updated on whether
or not that's
actually true
we could have just
like done a 20 minute conversation about. That's not even true because
it's just a rumor. But speaking of rumors, Khloe Kardashian might have a new man.
She's dating a private equity investor that she met through Kim. So Khloe
Kardashian has a new man in her life, page 6 can confirm. A source tells us
that the Kardashian star is currently dating a private equity investor she
met through her older sister Kim Kardashian. The insider says that Khloe and her mystery man were introduced at a dinner
party a few weeks ago and that the two hit it off. The relationship is in its
early stages and Khloe's feeling really good according to people who broke the
news on Monday. Additionally we're told that Khloe and her ex-boyfriend Tristan
Thompson do not talk unless it's about their daughter the four-year-old True
Thompson. Over the weekend the Good American founder shut down rumors that she was seeing another NBA player.
People were starting rumors that Khloe was seeing some guy.
She shut it down on Instagram.
She said, it's definitely not true.
After they thought she was dating the Chicago Bulls center forward,
it was on DuMois.
Who's the center forward of the Chicago Bulls?
Vucevic?
Oh, no, no, sorry.
They heard she was dating another basketball player
after she split from the Chicago Bulls center forward.
Is that Tristan?
Like, he's the backup.
Also, who says center forward?
It's one position.
He's the center.
Why didn't they just say...
He's the backup center.
Why didn't they just say after her split...
They should say Chicago Bulls loser.
No, they should say Chicago...
After her split... He's certainly not the Chicago Bulls center. No, they should say Chicago. After her split.
He's certainly not the Chicago Bulls sent her forward.
No one, if you say Chicago Bulls sent her forward,
no one will ever say Tristan Thompson.
Okay, what we were saying is like she also,
this article could have just said after her split from Tristan Thompson.
Or it could say like if they want to talk about him
as it relates to the league,
former like Cleveland Cavaliers champion Kristen
Thompson like something Kristen what did I say Kristen Tristan Thompson center forward bulls
yeah I don't even know if he's the backup he might be the backups backup yeah no he's definitely not
good anymore um it's not that he's not good he's just not in their. But this is not the part of the story that I care about. The part
of the story that I care about. This is the part of the story that I care about. I know. But the part of the story
that's like so important is that Khloe Kardashian has a businessman beau, which
we have been saying on this show for years is exactly what she needs. You know
she's been dating athletes and fellow celebrities who don't treat her with the
respect that she deserves. She's been cheated on and treated poorly
by so many men.
I'm sure she'll get, she'll be treated really well by a private equity man.
Are you being sarcastic?
They tend to have like great morals.
Yeah, what do you mean?
You want a great man?
Go find a farmer.
Private equity doesn't even mean anything.
No, it's fair.
B-E-C-P-E.
What can I say?
I'm so glad she's going in a different direction.
This is totally different than what she's done before,
which is like really athlete after athlete.
So at least she's changing, you know, a little bit.
Maybe this isn't going to be the thing, you know,
the end relationship to end all relationships,
but at least she's looking for love in different places
because it hasn't really worked out for her in the past.
And me and Jackie have always said she needs a businessman bow,
someone who's focused on like running a business,
not being a celebrity, just being, you know, wealthy on her on her level can take her places but isn't like thirsting out trying to get
you know ride her coattails she needs a pete davidson like yes but i think that this is way
closer to her pete davidson than anything she's ever had no she needs a fun go with the flow
not trying to be on her level this guy is going not trying to be on her level.
This guy is going to try to be on her level, like flashing all this cash.
She doesn't need any cash.
No, but that's the thing.
She needs a nice guy.
No, that's the thing with like rich businessmen is that they have money.
They don't need fame.
Most people, if you have money, what's that phrase?
Hold on.
No, before you interrupt me.
What's that phrase?
It's like, you know what?
Let me not botch it. Hold on.
If you don't
need fame, you're not dating Khloe Kardashian. I'm sorry. If you have a, if you're an unbelievably
successful private equity man, you're not dating Khloe unless you're looking for fame.
Okay. That was a great call. Oh, it's Bill Murray. Wow. I didn't realize it was Bill Murray.
I always like to say people who want to be rich and famous,
try being rich first and see if that doesn't cover most of it.
So it's like rich people don't need to be famous,
but famous people do need to be rich.
So a famous older businessman is going to be secure.
He doesn't need to be famous.
He's rich.
If he doesn't need to be famous, then why is he seeking Khloe Kardashian?
Because he probably runs in elite circles.
Look, how could you not meet Khloe and be taken by her?
She's an incredibly special soul.
If you've been watching this most recent season of Kardashian,
you know she's a really special type of person.
Perhaps he found love in an unexpected place.
She seems...
Incredible.
Fantastic.
I'm not saying anything bad about her.
I am saying that if he was looking... If he's like so financially secure, set, great, looking to settle down, wants no fame, he's probably not seeking her out.
I just don't choose to believe you because I see the businessman bow in a different light than you do.
And you are being negative.
So that's on you.
Cool.
Yeah, I don't like this i love it like i'm so pleased for chloe especially after watching this most recent season and you see how like
she shows up for every single person in her family like 100 supportive does everything to lift them
up lift them up meanwhile her personal life is going down the drain it's like every morning she's
getting a call tristan had a baby with someone else like it's someone like that deserves unconditional love i'm not saying that this is going to be it but i'm glad that she's getting a call, Tristan had a baby with someone else. Like, it's, someone like that deserves unconditional
love. I'm not saying that this
is going to be it, but I'm glad that she's getting back out
there and that she's changing the type
of guy she's going after. That's all I'll say. How about
that? That's fun. Okay. Fair.
Great. I'm glad we agree.
Cool. We have some tragic music
news coming up that's brought to you by
Bowling Branch. Bowling Branch sheets aren't
just buttery, breathable, and impossibly comfortable. They get softer with every wash. Forget the thread count.
Bowlin Branch is giving you thread quality because it doesn't matter how many threads
your sheets have if they aren't the best threads possible. So we are Bowlin Branch girlies. I don't
know if you even know that our entire bedding is from Bowlin Branch. We have the signature hemmed
collection sheets from Bowlin Branch and it is their best seller for a reason.
They use the highest quality
threads on earth
and they have superior softness
and a better night's sleep.
Their sheets are made
with threads that are
so luxurious
that they've been beloved
by three U.S. presidents.
Did you know you're sleeping
in a bed that's good enough
for three U.S. presidents?
Which?
Doesn't say.
I don't think they want
to get political.
They feel buttery to the touch.
They are super breathable
and they're perfect
for every season.
As someone who gets extremely warm in her sleep,
it was really important to me to find sheets that were breathable,
that didn't suffocate me.
And that's why I love Bowling Branch most importantly,
because I don't wake up in a pool of my own sweat.

Great cheats.
Yeah.
Are you ready for our tragic music news?
Yes.
Marcus, sorry, no, that's not what it says.
Mumford & Sons, if you have to cough, just do it out of the microphone.
No, I'm having terrible just allergies
I forgot to take my Zyrtec
my eyes are itchy
I need like a Zyzol
or a
I actually hate
I hate Zyzol
I love their mascot
don't be wise all
get Zyzol
that owl
it's cute
amazing
it's cute
but who takes Zyzol
actually a lot of people
no I mean
it's Clareton or Zyrtec
100%
Zyzol might as well be
like Duane Reade so you're saying you're not getting Wyzyrtec. 100%. Zyzol might as well be like Dwayne Reed.
So you're saying you're not getting Weizel and you're not taking Zyzol?
I want to meet the owl.
I don't want their product.
100%.
Um, okay.
Mumford & Sons lead singer Marcus Mumford is going solo.
Really?
Yeah.
So, um, Mumford & Sons.
What are they singing?
Do they sing?
Uh.
I will wait.
They sing so many good songs.
Before you.
I think our voices Are good for this now
I will wait
We have like sexy
Raspy voices
For you
They're so good
I've been like
In college
I was like a big
Mumford and Sons girlies
Mostly because
I thought like
It would make boys like me
But I actually ended up
Really liking their music
And Mumford and Sons
Might just be Mumford soon So sources tell Is his name Mr. Mum music. And Mumford and Sons might just be Mumford soon. So sources tell...
Is his name Mr. Mumford?
Marcus Mumford, yeah. And I don't think the other band members are his sons, but...
Ooh. Well, that would be a much sadder split.
Yeah, of course. Daddy's leaving.
Disowns his sons to go solo.
So sources inside Spotify's soiree at a French villa on Monday tell Page Six exclusively that the music's group leader, Marcus Mumford, announced that he will be focusing on his solo career.
He's married to actress Carey Mulligan, whom he shares two children with.
He made the stunning announcement while performing for an intimate group in the hills of the French Riviera.
He also said he was performing new music for the first time and that it would be available on Spotify as it was a Spotify sponsored event. Anyways, he just said today is day one for his
next thing, the party attendee told Page Six. And the rep for Mumford, 35, and Spotify did not
immediately return Page Six's request for comment. And so like while this is tragic, because I do
feel like Mumford and Sons has been like, they're like a Coldplay.
They're like iconic.
It's a bad call.
Really?
No, well, first of all, they're not a Coldplay.
Oh.
That's a bad call.
What's a bad call?
There are a lot of bad calls here.
Okay.
The first bad call is by you,
comparing Mumford & Sons to Coldplay.
I think that they're like a more niche alternative,
but I think they're just as popular as,
they do crazy concerts. They're not even close to as popular as Coldplay. I think you're just as popular as like they do crazy concerts they're
not even close to as popular as Coldplay I think you're wrong that's one two I'm not saying they're
not as popular as Coldplay but I think that like they could be in like in 10 years a Coldplay
I'll tell you why they're not Coldplay because if Chris Martin said I'm going on my own it would be
like when Harry Styles left One Direction and was able to build a career off of his back.
Mr. Mumford
is not building
a career off of his back.
Oh, I totally disagree.
I think it's so
in the Nick Jonas world
and that he needs his band.
I disagree.
Okay.
Because
I know what you're saying.
What's Mr. Mumford's
first name?
Marcus.
Did you know that?
Yes.
You knew his name
was Marcus Mumford?
He's married to
Karen Mulligan
from Great Gatsby. I don't even know who Karen Mulligan is. The only Mulligan you know that? Yes. You knew his name was Marcus Mumford? He's married to Karen Mulligan from Great Gatsby.
I don't even know
who Karen Mulligan is.
The only Mulligan
I know is in golf.
People don't know
Karen Mulligan.
They don't know
Mr. Mumford.
Karen Mulligan.
It's Harry.
They don't know
Mr. Mumford.
I'm telling you,
you don't,
but people do.
Marcus Mumford
is famous in his own right.
And while I don't think
it would be the same level
of Chris Martin
leaving Coldplay,
I do think it would be similar
if Adam Levine
left Maroon 5.
Like he's the only person whose name in Mumford & Sons I literally even know.
I know, but people know Adam Levine because of, oh sorry.
People know Adam Levine because of, is it American Idol or The Voice?
He's on TV.
People know his name.
Mr. Mumford, nobody knows who Mr. Mumford is.
Because Mr. Mumford is in an indie band,
so they're not being thirsty going on The Voice.
Exactly why he can't have a solo career.
I think you're wrong.
We'll see.
I think if what I assume is correct in that he writes a lot of the songs,
I think they will remain totally unaffected.
And I think because you're clouding your familiarity with Mumford & Sons and Marcus Mumford with the general just, I think because you're clouding like your familiarity with
Mumford and Sons and Marcus Mumford with like the general perception, I think you're wrong.
I think that my general perception, I, I know the things that I know because people are of a certain
level of fame for me to know about them. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah. He's not in the,
in the PR world. He doesn't have that Q score. He's not there. No, I'm, I hear what I'm saying yeah he's not in the in the PR world he doesn't have that
Q score he's not there no I'm I hear what you're saying he's not getting these Gillette commercials
Adam Levine is an indie artist I don't do that Adam Levine has Cali Rosa he was able to launch
his own tequila Mr. Muffin is a fucking thirst monster who will literally go to the opening of
an envelope to get paid and that's exactly why he could go solo Marcus Mumford is one of these like
indie artists who like has integrity and like won't do. My new voice I sound like Jeff Garlin. We're not
okay. No I literally do you hear the way that I said. I also want to say why this is not surprising
and I remember this from like a year ago. One of the other band members left because like he wanted
to be able to like post freely. He was like getting political or something and like his bandmates like
weren't into it. So he just decided like I'm out out I want to be able to like post what I want about politics or whatever and it was like kind of a big deal
that he left so Mumford and Sons like hasn't been okay for a while that's why I would say I'm not
that surprised you should give my final analogy and then okay sorry while you're wrong here's
Marcus Mumford at the Met Gala okay I've never seen that man in my life you're so wrong never
seen him in my life and also Marcus Mumford hot. I just wanted to put it out there.
Nobody knows who Mr. Mumford is
and what I will say is
this analogy is,
do you remember when
Shaquille O'Neal
left the Lakers?
No.
And he went to the Cavaliers
and then he went to the Celtics
and then he went to the Suns
and he just wouldn't
let his career die.
Oh.
I didn't know that
but that's a bad way to...
Mr. Mumford's going solo
to a painful death.
Okay. You're either Mumford and Sun bad way Mr. Mumford's going solo to a painful death okay you're either Mumford
and sons
or you're Mumford
and nuns
okay you know what
I think another good
comparison is
and like even though
we keep going back and forth
over comparisons
it would be like
if Zac Brown
left the Zac Brown band
it's literally the band
named after him
totally
people literally
only know Zac Brown
and Zac Brown
is so successful
for sure
and he could go out
on his own
and do his own thing
and I think Marcus Mumford
is the same.
But you know what?
We'll have to watch this episode in a year and see what happens.
I will say, though.
I will say.
To your credit.
Mumford and Sons peak was definitely like when I was in college, like a couple years ago.
So I don't know if he's going to be huge, but I think he has a chance.
That's what I'll say.
I think he has a chance. That's what I'll say. I think he has no chance.
I think Zach Brown of Zach Brown Band also would have a difficult time without his band being just a solo performer because when you build a band around your name, it's you and
the band, right?
No, that's the opposite.
When you build a band around just your name, nobody knows anyone else except the guy whose
name is in the title of the band.
Yeah, but it's also camaraderie.
It's the bus. It's them having good laughs. Yeah, the bus whose name is in the title of the band yeah but it's also camaraderie it's the bus it's them having good laughs yeah the bus it's all the bus
100 but zach brown at least i know zach brown's name i know his first name zach because it's the
zach brown band i don't know mr mumford okay we'll just have to see but let us know in the comments
marcus doesn't fit doesn't fit what he should change his name and go solo 100 um all right a little
bit more kardashian news rob kardashian and black china have reached a settlement in their revenge
porn case so i don't know revenge porn i don't know if you remember the vagina case of like 2000
and no i want to say 15 or 16 they were like going through this messy ass breakup and he
literally posted a picture of her vagina on instagram at like nine in the morning and it
was incredibly shocking and we were doing the morning breath at the time so we were live
and literally our phones were blowing up and we look up and we saw a vagina before noon and it
was shocking that's not good so that's revenge porn it is illegal and they've been in court for
a while now but Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have reached a settlement ahead of their jury
selection in their revenge porn case a clerk at the la county superior court informed us on monday morning that the exes had come to an agreement though the terms
remain unclear potential jurors were already lined up outside the courthouse who are all these loose
lipped clerks totally who is it that just like there's just somebody that walks in and it's like
give me all of the private details and there's this random clerk that just pops out and spills. It's not private.
Like, court documents are public information.
Got it.
That's how TMZ, like, finds out all this stuff.
Got it.
So, potential jurors were lining up outside the courthouse, like, because they were going to be selected for jury duty.
But they were dismissed given the last minute update that they reached a settlement, which is so nice for the people who were selected for jury duty that day.
They got to bounce.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
You know what I found in my bag?
A summons for you.
What?
Yeah.
You must've put it in there thinking it was for me.
You have jury duty.
Okay.
But why did you just say that on the podcast?
Cause like now I have to go.
Yeah,
you have to hate you.
We need to cut this out.
Cause then I could say,
cause then I could say I never got it,
you know?
Yeah.
No,
it's in my bag.
I hate you.
I'm sorry.
You're an idiot.
Um, whatever. They reached a a settlement this is finally over i hate you more than life um
i have to run a business i can't like pick up for two days and go to jury duty.
Whatever.
Chyna and Rob have reached a settlement.
It doesn't say how much the amount is,
but Blac Chyna just had to pay the Kardashians like a ton of money
because she lost the lawsuit against them.
So I'm glad she won this one because Homeworld is going to need some money.
Like she's been paying legal bills.
She's been losing left, right, and center. She
finally won one. I'm assuming Rob had to pay her because he literally posted a
picture of her vagina on the internet. So that's good and I hope she got a nice
amount because I think she needs it. Rob in China. I could like literally write a
whole dissertation on how that was the most psychotic time in pop culture. Like
I can't even like like, think about it.
It's so crazy.
I never heard about vagina.
You didn't?
No.
Well.
That's crazy.
How long was it up?
Like, a decent amount of time.
It was, like, it was so crazy.
I'll never forget the image of her vagina.
And it stayed up?
As long as Instagram would allow it.
That's what I'm saying.
You know, because it's, like, porn.
How long do you think it stayed up?
I don't know
a decent amount of time
enough for us
to like do a podcast on it
wow
and you know
once something's up
on the internet
it lives on Twitter
and Reddit forever
so it doesn't even matter
if it got taken down
it's interesting
that I never heard that
they're so good
at burying press
no
or I just missed it
first of all
it was six years ago
I guess
wow that's so crazy
no not six.
Four.
And it was huge.
But this was just like one of a thousand things that happened with Robyn China in the course of like those toxic few months.
And then she got pregnant.
So this was just one of many things.
But I think that maybe like you just weren't paying attention because it wasn't buried.
It was insane.
It was like the biggest thing that happened that year.
How stupid.
So dumb. Like how could you be so dumb dumb but this is just a lesson to everyone like don't post a picture of your ex's genitals on social media you might get sued because it is illegal it's
called revenge porn and it's it's not okay no it's fucked up um we have one more fifth and

news like i said because jennifer aniston is responding to the claims that she ate this viral
tiktok salad every day on the set of Friends.
I saw this.
So this recipe has been going viral on
TikTok and they were like, I'm gonna make the salad that Jennifer Aniston ate for
10 years for lunch every day while she was on the set of Friends. And it's like
literally not a salad. It's like a dip. It's like chickpeas. I don't think there
was any lettuce. Chickpeas, quinoa, lentils. It was like a macaroni salad.
It was so weird.
And people have just been making it.
I don't know where the rumor started
that this was the salad she ate every day.
But Jennifer Aniston has addressed the fact
that it is not the salad that she was eating.
So it's made up of bulgur, wheat, or quinoa,
diced cucumber, red onion, chickpeas, pistachios,
feta cheese, mint, and lemon juice.
It started making the rounds on TikTok early this year, with recipe videos racking up over
10 million views.
But, um...
Who calls quinoa bulgur wheat?
No, no.
It's...
You can either have bulgur wheat or quinoa.
Oh, oh, oh.
I don't think they're saying it's the same thing.
What's bulgur wheat?
You would know more than me.
Like, I have no idea.
Never heard of that.
So the first salad,
it went viral back in 2010
when Courtney Cox revealed
that the pair had eaten
a Cobb salad together
every time they were on set.
But it wasn't really
a Cobb salad.
It was a salad
that Jennifer doctored up
with turkey bacon,
garbanzo beans, whatever.
So now Jennifer Aniston
is, like, doing press,
and she said, well, that salad, dare I
debunk that? That's not the salad I had every day on Friends. I feel terrible because it's literally
taken off like crazy. And it looks like a delicious salad, by the way, but that's not the one I had on
Friends. I would never have that much chickpea in a salad, to be honest. Not good for the digestive
tract. So for all these people who spent hours making chickpea salad on TikTok,
I don't know what you were doing with your life, but that's what you get for eating a salad.
Can you imagine being so skinny that you'd say that chickpeas are not good for your
digestive tract? No, literally couldn't be me. I've never had a chickpea in my life.
I'm sorry, I ate too much chickpeas today. I've never had a chickpea in my life.
Chickpeas are great. You've had chickpeas. Hummus?
I don't really like hummus. You do sometimes.
No. A light schmear? No, like actually, sorry, I've never had hummus. You've had chickpeas hummus i don't really like hummus you do sometimes no a light schmear
no like actually sorry i've never had hummus you've had hummus no i haven't also hummus i know
on the podcast i'm not gonna hummus on the podcast i'm not gonna say hummus but like when i'm with my
jewish friends i have to say hummus because they're like hummus and then on the podcast if i'm like
hummus people are like claudia hummus so podcast is hum podcast is hummus friends hummus. So podcast is hummus.
Friends, hummus.
It's not hummus anywhere.
It's hummus for literally all of America.
It's hummus.
No, because we are literally authentic Mediterranean Jews.
We say hummus.
At a minimum, it's hummus.

It's not hummus. It's definitely not hummus, but it's hummus. Hummus. It's not hummus. Like it's never been hummus. It's not hummus. Definitely not hummus. But it's hummus. Yes to the point I made earlier is I've
never had hummus. You're missing out. No I don't think that I am. No it's delicious.
You'd also love it with schnitzel on a pita. Yeah. Cool. Those were the Fast Five
Stories. You definitely did not need to know them except for like maybe the
first two. I'm excited about Lea Michele on Funny Girl.
That may or may not happen.
And if you do want to
talk into your microphone,
that would be awesome
for people listening.
Should I say it again?
Yeah, because you were
like literally yawning,
pulling backwards.
I said it really loud.
Okay.
I think people heard me.
Okay.
