Good morning, Millennials! have to get the episode out on Thursday. Yes. They never said anything about the morning. They said that. Yeah no we definitely set ourselves up for failure when we named the show The Morning Toast. Yeah no just Sundays like today but like the episode will be here on Thursday. A lot of people listen Friday. Yeah. Saturday. Yeah. Sunday. It is our final episode of the week. And we wanted to be ready for when we recorded it. And you might be hearing some gorgeous sounds. Birds chirping. Fresh air. And that's because we've gorgeous sounds, birds chirping, fresh air. And that's because we've done, we're doing something we've never done before. And that's podcast outside. Now I know what you're thinking, Claudia, the elements, there's no wind today. It's really a gorgeous day and it sounds kind of crazy, but I think the audio is going to be premium. We

have like new microphones. I'm excited about this. I'm excited too too i'm also really excited because i'm joined today by joseph stalin because claudia crazy you're fucking unhinged claudia is being crazy am i you were just like being stalin-esque okay i'm like jackie we literally have to get the podcast no i know but like harry was having a gorgeous moment we're all sitting around also we're like testing the audio and you could hear him in the background crying so I was like let's move somewhere else and she was like no he's all set up yeah okay and Harry Harry's literally 14 pounds I'm a thousand like for him to move versus me moving it was a considerate thing for him to do let's be honest yeah and it's not every day that you hear Stalin on a podcast no it's exclusive interview with Joseph Stalin like

you've never seen him before. So Joseph, what inspires you? Honestly, I listen to this podcast called The Morning Totes. Those girls are amazing. And it just gets you in the mood. It gets me in the mood. To start your day. I do resent you calling me Stalin for a multitude of reasons, mostly because I really was not being that crazy like it's two o'clock we gotta get the pod out I wasn't disagreeing with you it's just like there's a beautiful moment and sometimes you need to acknowledge a space that you're in and like what's two minutes difference on getting the podcast out versus two minutes of watching like a precious human life I'll explain it to you thank you for asking um we're on vacation for four more days there will

be so many beautiful Harry moments and we have to work like we got our fucking asses up and we didn't work this morning and I let it slide I let it slide but then two o'clock comes and we gotta go okay well also something that I want to talk about that I was mentioning to you last night before you slipped into Stalin mode so I don't know if you heard me but I was mentioning to you last night before you slipped into Stalin mode. Stop it! I don't know if you heard me, but I was telling you yesterday I did something that I've never done. I don't even remember. Maybe I really was in Stalin mode.

No, and I did it and it was so great. And you need to do it. So you need to keep an open mind. Oh, I remember. This bullshittery. If I'm Stalin, then you are like... What's his name?

Gandhi. Dalai Lama. I am Mahatma Gandhi- gandhi oh yeah no because yesterday i did a meditation yeah yep i know even though that kind of seems on the brand for me these days yeah i have my aura ring and i was like going a mile a minute yesterday and i could not relax but i had like 30 minutes to close my eyes but wouldn't be able to fall asleep because just like my brain couldn't turn it off so i was like you know let me try a meditation after about five minutes of acknowledging my finger my pinky my toe I slipped into a really lovely cat nap it was

only a few minutes but when I woke up I felt wonderful so I've I've dabbled in meditation on the calm app a couple times I listened to this gorgeous like David Attenborough vibe of a man talking about it was a British man on this one too yeah he was talking about the lavender fields of Provence I feel like I've spoken about this on the podcast before and I definitely understood the allure but not enough to put me to sleep like you want to put me to sleep you have to kill me like I can't just slip into sleep I want you to try it will you try it for me when have I led you astray next year you'll be like coming out with a meditation app that like is your biggest newest thing I mean I'll definitely I'll be open to it

for sure but um no promises okay that's all I ask is for you to keep an open mind oh oh speaking of Adele last night we did an episode of breaking bread which was so fun and we covered some topics that we didn't get to cover on the toast we're going to cover some today but um we did a new segment instead of our live deer toasters which was fun but like a little traumatizing this week we did toaster karaoke and it was a blast I had a blast Claudia did have a blast the whole episode was so much fun we We also, what my personal favorite segment was, was a working title, What If I Just? Yeah. And it's about everyone sharing their most bizarre and psychopathic intrusive thoughts, which was so funny and then also concerning because when you think about the fact that like everyone just walks around all day with these

psychotic thoughts and has to, you know, stop themselves from acting on them. It's like, what if a couple people act on them? Well, I think that is what happens. No no but i think a lot of times it's premeditated it's not if a what if i just moment yeah that was an interesting we're turning into like a psychology podcast right like we're meditating we're talking about intrusive thoughts right we're interviewing world-renowned nazis like stalin yeah we do it all it's huge huge we're huge he wasn't a Nazi, but... He wasn't? No, he's like a communist. It's a similar vibe, but... Wait, wait. Yeah.

Stalin... Stalin isn't one of like the OG Hitler boys? Goebbels? No, he's not part of Hitler's crew. He was... What? Like a supreme leader of Russia and the communist revolution. Wait.

Yeah. This is a rascal moment for me. And weirdly, so I think Hitler and Stalin started out as friends. They were boys. Because they have, like, similar interests in murdering people. Similar hatred. In total control. I mean, the Jews run.

Bye. They did run. Yeah, right. That's why we're here. Right. But then Hitler turned on Russia. And it was actually, like, a great win for the Allies. That's why Russians liberated all those camps. But then when they went back to Russia and the war was over, like, it was not good great win for the Allies. That's why Russians liberated all those camps.

But then when they went back to Russia and the war was over, it was not good for a really long time. I just feel like my whole life, Stalin was one of the boys. We know their names. Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler. He's Stalin. No, he's Russia. I'm bereft. I don't know if that's the right word.

You learn something new every day at the morning toast. It's true. Wow, how did we get here? I don't know, but's the right word. You learn something new every day at the morning toast. It's true. Wow, how did we get here? I don't know, but I'm glad we did. I'm glad we did too. Also, since this is our last episode of the week, we should mention there's literally so much content for you guys to listen to tomorrow. Literally. This is my ninth podcast that I've recorded this week.

So there's no episode Friday tomorrow and there's no episode Monday for July 4th. But there are two brand new Patreons, podcast episodes, part one and part two of things that make us cringe they were really funny to record um there's a new episode of the redheads that just came out that I am on with the girlies talking about this month's book um is that it uh Patreon redheads plus this breaking bread comes out on Friday plus like the interview with Jill Zarin together, nine podcast episodes drop this week from your girlies. And we're here to carry you through the weekend. Though I hope you have a really fun plan. I hope you don't need us.

You know, sometimes it's a car ride. Yeah. You're laying by the pool. You need to take a mental health break. I think maybe we're meditation for some people. Yeah, no. Vacations are definitely prime podcasting listening opportunities. But if our views are low this weekend, I won't be upset.

Because that means everyone's, like, living their living their best lives yeah and we will catch you on the fifth we'll catch you on the fifth for sure back in studio tuesday but you know today's episode i'm already ready to extend to today's episode i haven't been on a vacation you haven't left your house in two years no no yeah well aside from covid but even in covid like we made a little few moments for like vacations mom talk i have not been on vacation in a year no it's been really nice fuck you all live your best life and not you listening like you society um but the other thing i was gonna say oh yeah breaking bread is gonna be live on spotify tomorrow so again if you're looking for more stuff to do but with this episode i'm actually really glad we plan to do a podcast episode today because there's weirdly so many stories

and there's like a lot of follow-ups from things we spoke about this weekend like Travis um so it's I hate when we like decide to do it like a random extra episode like on vacation like there's literally nothing to talk about yeah but today's episode is gonna fly because there's so much to discuss I'm not worried and we're both like I wish you guys could see us I wish there was a camera on us now no when we're big slobs in New York. Yeah. When we're coastal grandmothers in the Hamptons with like. Our collared shirts, our big sun hats.

Like our hydrangeas. Yeah. No, not an area camera in sight. It's giving Nancy Meyers. Yeah, we need someone to come take a picture of us. Really quickly. And also our Cheetos and turkey slices. Yeah, this table we're sitting at is not coastal grandmother.

There's like empty vapes, disgusting water bottles, turkey that's been sitting out in the sun for three hours. It's Coastal Degenerate. That is us. That is us. Before we move on, just really, like, a technical thing, I just want to make sure, like, I'm sitting way closer to my mic. Like, do you think we're at different volumes?

Should you scoot your chair in? I need to scoot in, but I'll also raise my volume. Afterwards, yeah. Post-production. That's us. But, yeah, I'm looking at at the lines and yours are bigger than mine there we go hey everyone literally everything i do is bigger than yours physically so that tracks literally yeah even when we're both sitting close to our mics in the studio we do have to

lower your volume and raise mine because we're just we speak at different decibels because you're always censoring me why is everyone expected to speak at the same decibel i don't think that they are i don't know what you're talking about no No, but like if you. Who's expecting that of you? I just think that's what people expect. For sure. People are always expecting things. Their expectations are great. Great and not in a good way. So I really don't have much else to add other than the fact that we've been on vacation for 12 hours. They've been sublime and they've been filled with Harrylicious moments. Yeah. And we we are relaxing we're unwinding and we're celebrating our nation's birthday yeah and the fact that my birthday i haven't even spoken about it is in like six days and what's on deck nothing

i'm too old like i think the toasters remember last year i patreoned my birthday party i patreon we like discussed a lot about my birthday you had a big dopey birthday last year and i won't be that girl again you learned a lesson i learned my lesson i'm 28 it's like enough i don't want to be that girl like kind of like stassi towards the end of her time on vanderpump rules just being chaotic yeah and it's like we're a little too old to be acting like that and at least she was on a reality show and you could say it was for a storyline so mean what's your excuse um i am on a reality show it's called morning toast it's extremely popular it. It's really documentary style. 100% Okay.

Now without further ado and just to let you know the Streis brothers are out here. They are killing it. Wait. Where the fuck is Theo? Theo's here. Bruno's inside.

But they're out in the Hamptons and they are killing it. They're living their best lives but I will say like being in a house with three dogs in a not fenced in yard is going to put me in an early grave. Yeah.

No. We're going to have like a few really bad scares this weekend. I hope that they are just scares, but we're not going to get off scot-free without like heart palpitations. Without someone like wandering into the woods. My aura ring is going to be like, did you work out? I'll be like, no, I just lost Bryce in the woods.

Yeah, no. And even if like Bryce is sitting next to you, that one split second where you don't see him, it's like, oh, life is over. Yeah. Goodbye, Bryce. Hope you enjoy your new life and your new family. Yeah. Goodbye, Bryce. Hope you enjoy your new life and your new family.

Peach these days. Peach is really good. It was grapefruit and then it was usurped by the usurper. Yeah. It's the Aries Targaryen of spritz society flavors. Yeah. Have we already made that joke? I think we made the joke about something else. Okay. Let us know. Whenever we say something usurps, we then go into Aries Targaryen that's where you go oh okay yeah okay i didn't realize you were watching me so close jesus christ i go i always think the usurper is joffrey baratheon because he was not the real heir wait who do they say is the usurper in the show the targaryens but also is robert baratheon the usurper black of hair no but because he usurped from the targaryens like no but who do they used to call the usurper i think hair no but because he usurped from the targaryens like no but who do

they used to call the usurper i think the targaryens i think maybe rob no targaryens are like the og otp i don't know why my memory just goes to like them having the targaryen family having like the stigma no i don't know i think okay let me just search because we're on a computer, which is so exciting. The Usurper. Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones. Also, speaking of Game of Thrones, you know, Logan Paul had. King Robert Baratheon.

Okay. Logan Paul, you know the guy who played the Beast? That big ass man in Game of Thrones who like gouged that guy's eyes out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Mountain. Sorry, not the Beast. He lives in Ireland and Logan Paul had him on his podcast and I want to watch it yeah i watched like a tiktok where logan was talking about he's like this guy is fucking massive also that guy was has like a previous career as the world's biggest man

yeah and like shot put javelin he definitely he holds some sort of guinness world record like the world's strongest man the world's biggest man something like that okay gotta get him on the pod but um logan traveled to Ireland. He didn't come to Logan. So I guess we're going to Ireland. I guess we're going to Ireland. You'll fit right in. Thank you.

Are you ready for our first story? I am. The reason for Travis Barker's hospitalization has been revealed. So as we talked about yesterday, Travis Barker was hospitalized, and reportedly it is for pancreatitis, sources told TMZ. The drummer was rushed to West Hills Hospital and Medical Center Tuesday morning and then transported to Cedars-Sinai. According to TMZ, his pancreas became inflamed due to a recent colonoscopy procedure. Symptoms include nausea, intense stomach pain, and vomiting.

Okay, I don't really know what pancreatitis is me neither but i hope he's okay i hope he's okay and just like if he did just get a colonoscopy that could have caused an infection in his pancreas and it's just like that sucks where did you learn what a colonoscopy was i don't have the answer you're looking for keeping up back in the day when um caitlin got one and they she had to drink that stuff that like gives you diarrhea so your colon is clear and i was like what's a colonoscopy and now i know yeah i wonder if that's where i first heard it and people say the kardashians will teach you nothing no um so i guess my second real like interaction with the colonoscopy is still with the kardashians

they're nothing if not consistent they're on brand they're on brand well i hope he's okay landon was out like partying last night so I do believe if his dad was like in real trouble he obviously wouldn't be out and about performing and going out so I think he's gonna be okay even though I know nothing about this illness yeah that's very true but I do like yeah with Charlie I don't know he's like out at like some after party oh we have a helicopter coming in oh it is Stalin coming to get us uh no but that's just like so exciting about this like live alfresco toast no I know I'm like kind of living I hope like people get some birds chirping for some ASMR I hope people like this vibe the plane is annoying sorry like let's sorry but

people have to get to where they're going and I'm just glad that they took off you know because that's all you can really hope for these days. So true. So true. To take off at some point, sometime, on some day. I am grateful to the Kardashians for, like, closing this circle, you know? Letting us know. Letting us know. Yeah, because we were worried. And they have literally no obligation to tell us, like, what's going on in someone's medical life. But, you know, obviously I'm a curious, nosy bitch.

Curious cat. I'm a curious little cat. I'm a curious little pussy. I'm a curious little domesticated animal named Laurel. What's that from? Nothing. I literally just made it up. Oh my god.

Where did you get Laurel from? No fucking idea. That's so funny. My only real like memory or like association with Laurel is remember that thing that went Laurel and Yanny. Yeah. It went viral. Like what did you hear?

Laurel or Yanny? That is still the weirdest thing ever. I heard Laurel. I heard both at like different points. Yeah. Of course. I think they were playing with us. They were going Laurel, Laurel, Yanny That is still the weirdest thing ever I heard Laurel I heard both at like different points Yeah of course I think they were playing with us They were going Laurel, Laurel, Yanny No but like you could listen to the same one

With someone And like one would hear Laurel One would hear Yanny Yeah I can't lie I don't miss that trend in internet history Where they were just confusing us Like the dress The nail polish colors

No I liked when it happened really organically Like the dress is probably like One of my favorite internet moments of all time Can I tell you something? But then people try to manufacture other things because sometimes white in a certain light does look blue like no shut up so with the dress what color did you say I saw white and oh so I saw blue and black if you showed me the dress now I would see blue and black I never and then like one night I was in a cab home like wasted and like I was scrolling through my Instagram and I got the dress again I'm like I felt like literally I was speaking

to God I was like it's white and then I never saw it again it's literally like a mirage it's the weirdest thing that is weird but I'm glad like we're over that trend yeah yeah unless it's Laurel and Yanny in which case call me honestly hashtag bring back Laurel and Yanny totally and I'm glad Travis Barker is hopeful. Well, I don't know if he's on the mend, but I'm hoping that he is. I hope so, too. Wishing him well. All the best.

XOXO. Got it. Next story. Luke Combs says he, quote, struggles with weight loss. He says, I want to be around for my son. I love him opening up about just, like, new and different things, you know? And this is the most relatable thing. Yes.

So he sat down with zane low on apple music on tuesday and did an interview and he said quote having a kid has messed up my head on this thing in the best way about his health quote i want to be around i'm fine right now my cholesterol and my blood pressure is fine because i'm a younger guy but by the time i'm 45 it's not going to be because of the shape that i'm in he admitted he definitely struggles with his weight and it's something that has always bugged him. Quote especially when you're younger. You're like man I just got a horrible genetic dice on this thing.

He continued adding that genetics are only partly to blame for his health. It's like not that I don't pig out. Because I do pig out. I'm not trying to say it's not my fault. Because in a lot of ways it is. Accountable king. Accountable king. Also relatable king.

Because I think for a lot of people it's genetic. Yeah. And and it's life choices and I think the most relatable thing he said is like I know what I have to do it's not like for lack of education like I know what I'm doing right and I know what I'm doing wrong I'm just like there's I can't find like a shit to give like yeah I can't do it which is so relatable I think for most people like who want to get healthy but like like me like I literally cannot so I love him opening up about this I think it's like so cool of him and like he doesn't really do personal interviews he's like the type of celebrity who works people know his music but they don't really know his personal life which is like a really healthy balance yeah and now he's doing sent out interviews I'd love to see more from him but I also need to watch this particular

one and just like get to know more but a lot of his quotes are going viral about his ticket prices have you seen this no what are they saying that he says like that he will never like raise his ticket prices that there will always be seats in whatever show he's doing that are about like $15 so that way people can come and they can still get beers and enjoy their lives and he said like even though like he makes a lot of money and trust him he does really well like it's not about the money for him that is so sweet especially when you think about um his audience I think it's a lot of just like regular folk and I think ticket prices and like concert a lot of industry boys I know blue collar boys I think the industry like concert ticket master that whole thing like it's out of control like to get for like a huge artist

to get like a front row seat it's literally two thousand dollars a seat that's just insane especially when you think about like if you're doing a concert who do you want in the front row like your diehard fans and your diehard fans aren't necessarily your fans with the most money yeah so I just think like the whole and that's why like you do love Taylor for having like multiple stages stages that go so far into the crowd. Even though, like, it is also annoying. Like, the capitalist in me is like, whoever paid the most should get the best seat. But, like, it really isn't that.

And I think, like, we need to deconstruct ticket prices for concerts. It's a little out of control. Yeah. Also, we need to talk about Luke's new album because I've had some time to live with it. And it's so fucking fantastic. Okay. I was going to bring that up also. And I'm in shock at the bops after bops.

And I just, I want more free time so that I can listen to it more. Okay. So I listened to it like a couple times in full. And I was like, this is great. This is like another great Luke Holmes like standard album. And then on the car ride in yesterday, we listened to it about two times. And it just elevated the experience for me. Like I feel like when you listen to a song for the first time, it's like, what am I listening to? Yes.

It's like a bunch of mosh. But then you listen to it a few times, you start to recognize some of the choruses. I am so in agreement. Like, it is so beautiful, and I feel like a lot of the songs are a little more serious this time around. Like, not as headbangery, but more like, you know, growing up, looking back on the best days of your life.

Like, it's really nostalgic. Yeah. It's so good, and the duet with Miranda Lambert is amazing and you know me like new Miranda Lambert girly making it my personality I love that collab he always does like premium collabs yeah he does I we need to put the album on out here more uh I didn't get a chance to listen to it on the car right because Harold was sleeping so like we just listened to like I don't know static on the radio because it's white noise um but that's what I wanted to be listening to oh and Luke Holmes also did a podcast the Nelk Boys yeah like boys the Nelk Boys are a big podcast yeah so he did that podcast and they asked him like who are in your opinion like who are the biggest country stars in country right now he was like probably me and

Wallen which was like so cool to hear him acknowledge the fact that he totally is like yeah when you think of like who sells the most tickets um oh my god i'm so sorry i dropped the only background noise is like us being clumsy hold on just i'm sorry just let me pick up my phone the ads are on there i'm not okay sorry guys the only problem also with podcasting outside is like the sun the sun is beating down on us my computer is probably gonna like go into you know too hot mode okay sorry let me just pick up where i was sunburn would you guys mind listening to me put on some sunscreen sorry like i'm sorry this is an immersive experience and also this is a new thing people are doing like when they travel they do travel travel podcasts like like the new vlog

so that's us also like this is a good message wear sunscreen sunscreen. Yeah, SPF is so important, you guys. And now that we're adjusting, I kind of want to take my dress off. Maybe get a tan. Hold on. Keep talking while I'm sitting in the sun. I might as well have something to show for it. No, him and Morgan Wallen are the two biggest artists. I'm glad that they see each other.

And that's how Luke sees it. Because he sees clearly. 2020 vision. I was happy that he acknowledged it. Not very... Because it clearly, he sees clearly. Right. 20-20 vision. I was happy that he acknowledged it, like not in a cocky way, but just like knowing his success, it was cool to see. And they were asking him like,

is there any like competition? Like, because that's such a natural part of, because they both came up kind of fast. He was like, not at all. Like we've been on tour together, like we're actual like friends, like who support each other. It was very cool.

And it was a good interview. And also weirdly, even though they're both country males singing about, you know, girls and and trucks like their music is so different and they have like different audiences because like morgan's like young single and luke is like married man like everyone loves him like true morgan also it's a different vibe morgan i think has more girl fans and i think luke has more boyfriends oh that's interesting i hadn't thought of it that way but yeah i would I would agree with that.

So I love that his album came out and we're getting like promo. We're getting interviews. It's such a good album. If you're into country, obviously you're going to love it. But if you're not into country, like you're dumb. But also it's crazy that he actually probably planned it this way, that his album dropped the same week that his son was born. Because even though, even if the baby came like a little earlier, a little late,

like it's still around the same few weeks. And like he knew when the baby was coming 10 months ago. I just fucking love him. Like, that's really all I can say. Yeah. Like, I would literally take a bullet. Love. Do you want some sunscreen?

No. Do you want to practice safe skin care? No. Okay. Sorry. Bitch, I'm literally never in the sun. Like, a little burn won't kill me, actually. I did get a spray tan and you didn't.

No, I didn't. And I purposely did not get a spray tan because I'm like, let me get a real tan. That never works out for me, but I thought I'd try. Okay. Are you ready for our next story? Oh, actually, no, I'm not. Sorry. Thank you for asking.

Like, okay, I just feel like as long as, like, we have, like, hiccups in our audio, but we acknowledge it, like, they don't count.'t count do you know what I mean no it's like trying to gaslight people into thinking I hear my

podcasters do that like I'm listening to a piece of shit they're like isn't this great yeah like no actually are you hearing this and I think even though there might be some audio snags like I think you guys knowing that we're having such a great time it's all they can feel our energy energy it's palpable kick the table again kick the table again okay I don't know if those like little kicks we give the table are picking up but if they are we're really sorry I know that's just like us we could be doing that inside too don't blame I hear the kicks in my earphones but I don't know if they get picked up on the track yeah that's so funny okay I'm sorry let's move on before my computer gets too hot just like my phone is at the microphone they're not

letting me use it it has to cool down i just want to say well there are definitely a lot of problems with podcasting outside i i'm enjoying it like i i don't we're not going to record another podcast while we're here but like if we did i would want to do it outside yeah except in the shade and so that my computer doesn't burn up yeah next story erica j must turn over $7,500,000. $7,500,000. $7,500,000. I get really weird. Like, sometimes when I see numbers, like, I'll see the number 800, and the way I process it is 80-0.

80-0. What is that called? No, because I'm reading in an order. It's, like, half lexic. Sometimes when I do the ad reads, i do think i might have like a small bit of dyslexia like words i i see them properly but i say them backwards i think it's just because we talk too fast and we don't give ourselves like our brain enough time to get to our mouth right like when i'm reading a part of the sentence my eyes are on the next sentence yeah

yeah that's psychotic yeah okay i do that also when i read books. $750,000. $750,000 earrings. Almost a million dollar pair of earrings. Erika Jane must turn over $750,000 diamond earrings from Tom Girardi. Erika Jane will be forced to give up this pair of diamond earrings from her estranged husband after a judge ruled that the luxe item was purchased with stolen funds. Damn. Judge Barry Russell. Purchased by him or her? Were they a gift or she bought them for herself they

were from him okay well that doesn't still make her look good like yeah because this whole time she was claiming like it was tom that what that was like spending the stolen money not her yeah yeah but if it was like his credit card even if she like went to the store and bought it like it's still from tom i guess yeah anyway the judge noted during a hearing on tuesday that the settlement funds from the trust account created for a class action handled by thomas's firm thomas who's thomas that's his name but why would they say gerardi's firm right okay that's yeah no that's definitely a weird way for them to say it for sure gerardi oh they didn't say gerardi's firm. Right. Okay, that's right. Yeah, no, that's definitely a weird way for them to say it, for sure. Girardi, oh, they didn't say Girardi's firm because it's Thomas' firm, Girardi Keys.

But it said Girardi's firm, Girardi Keys. Yeah. Where's Keys in all of this? Such a good question. They were used to pay for the diamond earrings from the account created for the class action. Oh, yikes. Well, hopefully this class action fund just got almost a million dollars. Yeah, Russell added that while he didn't believe the star was aware

that the gift was bought with stolen money, she is still obligated to return them. She probably didn't know, but she could have assumed. Yeah, but, like, what if she sold them a year ago when she needed to put a down payment on her house and, like, the money's gone? Does she have to, like, come up with $750K? I think it would be, like, in her debt. Shit. Yeah.

Also, it's, like, $750K retail, but, like, what are they worth? Right. So for diamonds, it's be like in her debt. Shit. Yeah. Also it's like $750k retail but like what are they worth? Right. So for diamonds it's like a little different because yes like a second hand diamond goes down in value but like diamonds go up in value over time. She could still get a lot of money from them. No but like say it was from Tiffany so you're paying like a 30% markup for the brand name but if you go to resell it you're not

nobody cares it's from Tiffany's. No if it's a brand name then she definitely loses money but it's like from a jeweler and the diamonds are in really good shape and they're like a good quality cut color all that stuff yeah she definitely um could sell them and it might have occurred to her in last year maybe to sell them and now she can't yeah because that's a big ticket item I wonder how many items like that she grabbed on her way out like she took a whole moving truck full of stuff yeah but jewelry clothing bags art yeah furniture like she definitely has a couple things that are She grabbed on her way out. Like she took a whole moving truck full of stuff. Yeah. But jewelry, clothing, bags, art. Yeah.

Furniture. Like she definitely has a couple things that are worth like a million dollars each. Yeah. And maybe over the next year, her plan was like over the next couple years, sell one every few years to live. Yeah. That plus housewives. If those things are being clawed back. Have you heard of clawbacks?

Sounds kind of familiar. Because I heard the craziest thing a while ago that i didn't realize so like when birdie made off when everything was going down there were people who had invested with birdie made off who had already taken their money out and they got those interest returns that he promised that he was giving people when everything went down they went to those people and said you didn't actually earn that money and you need to pay it back but they got to keep their initial investment. Yes.

Only the profits. But yeah, no earnings. That seems fair. And so like if they had already spent that money though, they had to give it back to like pay other victims. And of course that's fair, but like. But like if they don't have it, do they have to like go into debt? Yeah. I don't know.

Because it wasn't their money. No, that's definitely interesting. Because he was using other people's money to pay them. And it sounds like that should be fair, but if they don't have the money, money then like you're fucking over more people or they like thought that they had this money that like this was what they had and it's not wow i didn't think about that but then it's also just funny to be like currently watching housewives and erica acting like she's so out of this like it's all behind her like it's not like sit down give us the earrings yeah yeah wow that's actually so crazy also what the fuck does a million dollar pair of earrings look like?

Obviously diamond, but like is it a big stud? Or like dripping like a chandelier? Yeah. That's a great question. That is a great question. Do they have a picture of the earrings in the article? They do not. Of course not.

Of course not. It's nothing. Yellow journalism muckraking at its finest. Okay, are you ready for our next story? What number is it? Four? It's four. Okay.

It feels like a four. It does. I'm feeling great. Olivia O'Brien says that Pete Davidson broke up with her over text in 2020. The singer revealed that she briefly dated SNL funny man in 2020, but that he ended things through a text message in October. He texted me and was like, I'm seeing someone else. So like, I can't.

She said on Wednesday's episode of BFF's podcast with Dave Portnoy, Josh Richards, and Brianna Chicken Fry. The Barstool founder, Dave, asked the star what was going on between her and Pete. And she was, I saw the clip, Jackie. She was like white in the face. People didn't really know that they dated. There was like one blind on Dumois. It's like a very underground rumor. And I guess her reaction confirmed that it was true.

And I didn't think she was going into that interview thinking they were going to ask her about it. Yeah. And they brought up the Dumois blind. and I guess her reaction confirmed that it was true and I didn't think she was going into that interview thinking they were going to ask her about it. Yeah, and they brought up the du moi blind. So let me tell you, like, I love Olivia O'Brien. I follow her on TikTok. I think she's, like, such a cool girl. And do you know her whole thing with Jocelyn? No.

Do you know that song? When we were together, but we're more than friends You said you couldn't see me when she gave you head Whoa. So please don't come around again. I hope that it was worth it fucking Jocelyn. Who's Jocelyn? Okay.

So everyone was like who's Jocelyn? Everyone knew the song was about Logan Paul. She dated Logan Paul for a while. Oh my God. So Jocelyn

is Josie Canseco. It's pretty much been confirmed and so she and Logan like had this beef but she's like a really good singer-songwriter. She's really up and coming and she got to perform like an early set at coachella and she brought out logan paul and he had a sign that was like it wasn't worth it and it was like a really cute

like i saw the sign i had no idea the backstory because the song is i hope that it was worth it fucking jocelyn wow don't want to fight she's like really good there needs to be like a publication maybe there is i don't want to watch, like, YouTube drama channels. I know. But, like, a publication that covers influencer drama. We were just having this conversation. Like, stuff like this, like, Logan Paul, sure. But also, like, so much stuff always goes down with influencers. You know, in our sphere, podcasters, podcast drama, like, who's unfollowing who.

Yeah. And there needs to be one dedicated site. Well, we were talking about this a few weeks ago because there was, like, an influencer that we were like kind of like wanting to see what was going on with and there's nowhere to go like you have to scour reddit and like read comments it's just not no but i don't want to hear it from like you know an amalgamation of people and like what people think happened like where's the authority on like this is what happened you know what should have become that betches.com oh because there's so many pop culture websites and i think betchesches does really, really well, especially in the podcasting space. And this isn't a slight towards them.

Like, I really like those girls. I think they're really smart. But they should definitely create, like, a vertical on their website. Like, Betches Pod or, like, Betches Internet. Like, something where they, like, explain. Because they push out, like, tons of articles every day. And it's articles that are really written up at page six. Right.

Like, they're just one of a lot of content aggregators. And if they started doing, like, full breakdowns of, like, influencer drama,, podcast news, like YouTube stuff, I think it would do really well for them. Yeah. Or like Elite Daily. Something like that. Elite Daily I think is a little too far gone into irrelevancy. But there should be a website that has that. Yeah.

Because we're all like figuring things out from like a million different videos. Like that's why nobody really ever knows. Can someone explain the Mormon mom TikTok and stuff? No. Where's the article? Right. Okay, let's get back to Olivia O'Brien. Because after she went white in the face, she said she didn't think anyone knew about that.

And she noted that it happened a long time ago. And she still thinks he's a nice guy. Also, the Dumas blind said that he had broken up with this, like, B-list singer for Phoebe Denver. Oh, Denver. So I was going gonna ask if you think he dumped her for kim no it was october 2020 she said he's hot and he's really funny and he's really sweet he's a really sweet guy she also revealed she finds it so annoying that guys don't get it when it comes to pete's appeal when it comes to his looks and personality see the only

thing i don't like about this is like pete has like a ton of experience dating all different types of women and it's like you're so breaking up with girls via text like it's so rude like give the relationship a little bit more if I may or like even FaceTime the idea of breaking up with someone over text is not nice and I wouldn't recommend it but if their relationship was so hush-hush that not a soul knew about it really until like this then and it was just maybe a few dates you can end it over text well that's the thing if it was a few dates you can end it over text well that's the thing if it was a few dates I think it's very common for people to be like honestly I started seeing someone else and it's working out or like I just don't think this is right for me we're in

a relationship if he was open to meeting Phoebe at the same time I think they were like seeing each other okay but them calling it a relationship like that's misleading right and you know what Pete look really bad most people say they went out on even four dates which is actually a lot of dates because it's hard to even get to date number two. Say it was four dates, but he was also, like, dating Phoebe and then chose Phoebe. Like, a lot of people just would never text that other girl again and ask her out again because you're still just dating. So... He had the decency.

I'm not falling for that. Like, I don't think she was trying to start stuff, but I think the way that the headlines are, he broke up with me over text. I don't think he... I don't think there was a relationship exclusive. Like, we're boyfriend-girlfriend and now we're not. I'm texting you. He went to stop dating. Yeah, I think he was just't think there was a relationship exclusive like we're boyfriend girlfriend and now we're not he wants to stop dating yeah i think he was just like hey we're not gonna go out again and here's why and it's a text message like doesn't need to be uh a meeting or a phone call that's a very like good perspective thank you um i also just love this for olivia o'brien like even if it didn't

work out like she's now among the ranks of ariana grande kim kardashian kate beckinsale like good for you phoebe denver phoebe. Like, good for you. Phoebe Denver. Phoebe Denver. Like, good for you. I hope, like, she has a really, like, big music career. She's really good. You've, like, totally just turned me on to her. Yeah.

And she's, like, her TikTok. She's friends with Stas. So she, like, runs in a fabulous crew. She's, like, a young Hollywood it girl. She's very beautiful. Very talented. Like, makes good content. Stylish.

I recommend the follow. I do. Okay. On Instagram? I only follow on TikTok. I know. But you know me. And and that's maybe she posts to Reels because Reels people are real people don't forget that don't you dare and are you ready for our fifth and final story which is some real people and some real love is it the fifth and final story that's brought to you

What can I say except you're welcome okay fifth and final story some real people some real love inside kate bock and kevin love's wedding a great gatsby inspired ceremony at the new york public library you guys story is like getting bigger and bigger it snuck up on us and we thought that we really missed talking about it and that we were going to be

like bandwagon people obsessing over this wedding we talked about it last night on breaking bread about the way that this story is making us feel and over the last 12 hours like we're falling even more in love with the loves so for those who don't know first of all her name is going to be kate love oh that's so iconic kevin love is a big basketball player like really popular what team does he play for the cleveland king char Cavaliers um and I actually have a really funny story about Kevin Love that I forgot to say on Breaking Bread last night do you know how I know who he is good thing we do multiple podcasts nine per week do you know how I know who he is obviously I don't follow basketball how so a million years ago before we

started podcasting and I was like in the digital world but I wasn't sure like what my exit strategy was going to be um one of the things I used to do was like make a lot of different Instagram accounts and just like aggregate followers on like I had like 20 accounts at some point and they were always like different categories and I had a food one it was called hungover and hungry and it was just like food porn remember when food porn was so big yeah um and I used to use all these third-party apps to like show me famous people or verified people or people with a lot of followers who follow my accounts. And I ran it once for Hungover and Hungry, and that's how I found out that Harry Styles follows the account. And fun fact, he still follows the account.

He does. That hasn't posted in probably four years. Yeah, so that, I wouldn't share that fact, because it makes him following Gwung, like, less. Yeah, like, okay, whatever. Moving on. And Kevin Love was one of the people with the most followers who followed Hungover and Hungry. I should see if he still follows. Like, give me one second.

Oh, my God. And I was like, Ben, who's Kevin Love? He's like, oh, my God, so sick. Like, you know, like, classic NBA. So, that's how I know who he is. And then Kate Bach is like, oh, he follows a lot of people. I feel like he definitely still could. He's not hung.

No, he doesn't. Oh, good. That's good. He cleared out. Yeah. Good. So, he married Kateach last week um she is a sports illustrated model she's been on the cover she's really good friends with emily didonato who

of course is a friend of the toast and i've seen her on instagram a bunch and she's like so beautiful um but i've never really cared like not cared i've never really ventured into learning more about her but her wedding was written up in vogue and people have just been obsessing over it and rightfully so if you look into this wedding it was at the new york public library her and kevin are both literally like the most gorgeous human beings supermodels ever met in your life she's so beautiful her dress her whole wedding was very like ralph lauren themed he obviously made her dress which i just read had two million beads hand sewn into it which is insane their um rehearsal dinner was at polo bar which is so

um and it's just amazing like first of all the people who were there celebrity wise because he plays in the nba lebron james and his wife rich paul and adele um i don't know like a lot russell westbrook like other big basketball players and the wedding just looked so cool like you know people give out flip-flops like and socks like they were giving out air force oneses to every single person, like brand new, white. It was so sick. No, so gorgeous. The pictures are stunning. Also, it was a Jewish wedding.

They got married under a talis with a ketubah. And it's just like the novice is shepping off of us. I didn't think I could be more obsessed with the wedding until I saw Kevin Love holding a pen to a ketubah, which is a Jewish marriage license. It's in Hebrew. I'm like, is that a fucking ketubah? There's literally no way.

And then I was Googling, Kevin Love Jewish, Kate Bach Jewish Kate Bach Jewish she's Jewish a Jewess we love to see it a Jewish goddess I just looked at her I'm like you're not Jewish that's what like Kevin must be yeah yeah no it's so spectacular I encourage you to look at the pictures and really just enjoy and go down a rabbit hole Emily DiNato was a bridesmaid so obviously like toasty energy friends yeah I feel like Kate like there's a small chance she's a toaster small very small we'll know after we release this episode yeah well it's just everything of the sort and I I really wasn't expected to be so taken by a wedding so shortly after the Peltz Beckham wedding and this is just giving somehow more and they really released a lot of photos to Vogue. And it's obviously getting picked up everywhere.

But Vogue is the exclusive. And they're not giving us very little. Like we got before, during, after parties. She had so many different dresses that were so cute towards the end. Obviously her main gown was breathtaking. They're giving us a lot of content. And of course pictures of all the celebrities. You see a picture of Rich Paul, Adele, LeBron and his wife.

And it's just like it's iconic. Yeah. And you know what? It makes me realize sometimes we try and like manufacture celebrity relationships and we're like if chloe would just go out with bill hader like the world would be restored but it's like there are so many celebrity celebrities out here like finding love with each other that we don't even know about until something like this happens and it's like maybe the world is going is healing nature is healing yeah no because i never would have put these two together they never even came across my radar and now i've literally never been more obsessed with a couple in my life like catch me following kevin

love on instagram okay right and they have a cute dog who they incorporated like you just you love to see everything they don't have a cavalier which would only make this better it would be honestly too much i would feel like it would be a little too on the nose too like he plays for the cavaliers right yeah no but they should have one plus it's cleveland so like even though she probably has to go there for games like then she's in cleveland what could be better right and them getting married at the new york public library is so iconic it was also like classic new york you know like saint regis they got ready a lot of their pictures were at the saint regis it was just very classic and you don't get that from celebrities you get like you know mysterious and one of a kind.

But, like, this is just, like, a New York moment. And we have very little of them these days. And not to make everything about me, but I actually have been to a wedding at the New York Public Library. And it is so spectacular. It's so Carrie Bradshaw. Of course, you think of her wedding with Big. It's so over the top. It's so glamorous.

And I can imagine that, like, just to be in that room was, like, sickening. Sickening. Sickening. was Adele there yes wow yes with her boyfriend did she sing oh I feel like that would have been in the article yeah and I'm sure like she like she goes to the wedding but not the uh queen's jubilee right what's going on with Adele I don't know something I feel like something's not right like I know she like looks really happy and I hate to like be that person yeah but it's just like she's so MIA yeah you don't turn down performing for the queen when like you're in a good place is how I feel but and then everyone's different the biggest thing was of course shocking big red flag yeah BRF so

we'll see yeah she looked really happy in the pictures though oh great yeah so that's our show we are sufficiently sweating but we have really enjoyed this experience so i hope that you did too because maybe we'll do it again sometime maybe next year july for fourth weekend again yeah let us know if you hated or liked the outside um audio and until then we're back in studio on tuesday or we're back on the podcast on tuesday we'll see if we make it back to the studio we might have to move out here because it's so gorgeous so gorgeous and don't we just seem like lighter?
