Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, girlies, it's the Toast. It's Jackson Claude and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly, it's the Toast. They sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast and happy friday. Frydareese. Fry-yay, fry-yay.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Yay that it's friday. Yes, another conclusion to a pardilicious, definition week actually, kind of not to be dampering the mood. Kind of coming to an end on one of the last few weeks of toasty realness before maternity leave. Wow, not to dampen the mood though. Well, I have been wanting to bring up
Starting point is 00:00:57 sort of the elephant in the room, right? I am taking maternity leave. I don't know if I've mentioned, I'm kind of with child. And we've been making lots of plans. And I feel like I wanna talk about it more. I feel like it's this thing we're all circling the drain on, but I wanna assure the listeners of the fabulous plans we have for them.
Starting point is 00:01:16 It's true. I was just gonna sort of drop you into fabulosity, eyes wide shut, but we could go into it eyes wide open, sure. Well, I think everybody knows that the month of June is gonna be like a fabulous time. Jackie Owen friends is what we're calling it. I'm Jenna Bush Hager, I'll be talking to my friends. Influencers, podcasters, reality stars,
Starting point is 00:01:37 she's got some really fabby people lined up, she's gonna be in New York and Florida with people, so I'm not worried, but I think a lot of people are like, okay, well July and August, the toast is off, like where are my girls at? And actually we've kind of nailed it, like you're gonna be okay, ready? We're always right here for you.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Yeah, we like to be dramatic, we're really not going anywhere. So July and August. We will still be putting out more content than the average podcast. Yes, so July and August, you will be getting two episodes a week. One of the episodes is gonna be the best five,
Starting point is 00:02:06 your usual toasty episodes on Patreon. Yes. Because this is a place of business. And then your second episode of the week, we did this a little while ago and people really seemed to love it. It's a series we're calling Toast-Herstory, a rewatch, re-releasing of some
Starting point is 00:02:23 of our most iconic episodes. I know we have a lot of new listeners and actually there was a TikTok going around. I meant to send it to you of a girl being like, I have seen the TikToks. I wanna join the toast, but like, I'm scared. Do I just like jump in? Do I have to start somewhere?
Starting point is 00:02:36 And people were like, just start, you'll figure it out. But there is so much lore. There's so many jokes. So over the summer, every week, we are gonna be re-releasing iconic episodes. We did that most recently with our Robert Flats episode, because that's like people's favorite moment from the toast. And a lot of people don't know it.
Starting point is 00:02:50 A lot of our jokes come from these iconic physical therapy moments. So every week we will also be re-releasing on the regular app store, not app store, Patriot. App store. Podcast app, thank you. Stitcher too, and Stitcher. And Stitcher, of course.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Iconic episodes that made the terse what it errs, you know? The terse. Made the terse what it errs. It's true, so the summer is gonna be really fun. And I'm excited to do- You'll be fed. I'm excited to do weekly pop culture episodes because they're literally gonna be five hours long. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:21 And then we could have just like broken it up every hour and at least one every day, but sure. We could have. And I'm excited for maternity leave. So maternity leave and like Jackie and friends officially starts right after Memorial Day. Tuesday after Memorial Day, I'll be in New York with guest co-hosts.
Starting point is 00:03:35 We've got some great people lined up and then I have people in Florida and it's really shaping up to be a part G month. I'm very excited to put on my Diane Sawyer pants. And you know, I feel conflicted because like every time I see it in our chat, like, oh, so and so confirmed. I'm like, obviously happy for the business, you know? I'm sad for me.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Like these are gonna be great episodes that I'm not a part of. You know how much that kills me. Yeah, but you could just maybe watch them. Maybe you can enjoy them. And you get to like, you'll be able to like back door submit questions if you have some for the person. Yeah, yeah. If there's something that you wanted to know.
Starting point is 00:04:08 So I just wanted to assure everyone, we are taking this matter very seriously and it's gonna be a great couple of weeks and months. And then Labor Day, we're back like usual, girly, swirly energy. Remote podcast, the usual. The usual. That's what it'll be.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I'm very excited. You know, I love change. I love switching it up. I do, I love switching it up. I think it's gonna be so great. Kums are fresh. I know how you feel like, not in terms of loving change,
Starting point is 00:04:37 but like I feel like now I understand. It's like hard when people love something without you. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm not looking forward to it, because I know they're gonna love it. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of balance of like, we miss Claudia.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah, but see, when people say we miss Claudia, like it's so nice, right? But it also makes you feel a little bit bad. So like, I don't, maybe don't say it. Oh, okay. You know, because I'm like, well, maybe I should be back at the toast. I understand, but no, you have to do what's best for you.
Starting point is 00:05:05 You have to listen to your body and you need to like, give yourself space to embark on this new chapter. Like it's really one of, if not, it is the biggest thing that you will do as a human being. In this life, a thousand percent. A couple weeks of this toast while we chit chat with some other people, give some people some shine.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Oh, you know, that kills me too. I know, okay. I shouldn't have said it like that. Giving other people my platform. Yeah, like you're a spotlight. That we've built. That we like, yeah. We literally have like bled for. We power with the electricity
Starting point is 00:05:33 and like we are like powering windmills. I'm on the bike. On a bicycle, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I know, sorry, I shouldn't have said it like that. Yeah, I have to tell you a funny story. I went out. But maybe, maybe they too could shine their light on us. Well, wouldn't that be nice?
Starting point is 00:05:51 I have to tell you, I was out to dinner last night and I did, you know, I walked and on my way there, you know, celebrity things, I ran into a couple of toasters and I ran into this toaster leaving the grocery store and she literally was just walking out with true fruit. Like that was, she didn't even have a bag. She just like bought the true fruit.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And I was like, oh, true fruit sounds so good right now. She was with her boyfriend. She was like, do you want it? You can have it. And honestly, the sealed bag brand new. I was going to dinner. So like it wouldn't make it home unfrozen, you know? But did you take one out of the bag?
Starting point is 00:06:20 I didn't because it wasn't opened yet, but like it was one of those decisions that you have to make in a split second. Was it even your preferred flavor? Yes, it was dark chocolate raspberry. Dark chocolate raspberry. Speaking of true food, they followed me on Instagram yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:35 So obviously something's going on at TrueFru HQ. Maybe the girl worked for TrueFru that I met. Maybe, or we're just so embedded with TrueFru. I love TrueFru. I've been down on my TrueFru game. Maybe, or we're just so embedded with true fruit. I love true fruit. I've been down on my true fruit game. Well, the thing is, and I was just having this conversation with a friend, I'm running out of time. I only have so much time left to continue eating
Starting point is 00:06:56 whatever I want. And while I love true fruit, 1000%, it's definitely an indulgence for when you're dieting. It's like, if I could have anything in the world, which I'm eating anything I want these days, like I'm not picking up the true fruit. Right about dipping dots. Right, what's so amazing about it is that like,
Starting point is 00:07:11 you can pick it up when you're being quote unquote healthy and it's fabulous. It's a very good option. But these days, no, I'm not picking it up in the freezer, but it's just not, is that good enough? No, I think that's fair. Yeah, so it reminded me and I was like, in that moment, I'm like, do I take this poor girl's bag of true fruit
Starting point is 00:07:30 and like munch on it on my way to dinner? I was so hungry and her boyfriend was like, really take it. They really wanted me to have it. I almost felt bad turning it down. Yeah. But ultimately I didn't. No, you should have opened the bag and took one
Starting point is 00:07:43 and then continued on your way. So like ruined her snack, like putting my dirty hands in it. She could have plucked it. But then I would eat from her hand. She was at the grocery store like holding that carton out. No, and then like her bag is open on the way home. Do you know what I mean? It wasn't a perfect situation.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I understand. Well, shout out to that toaster. Shout out to the generosity. And if you ever see me in the street, feel free to offer me food, you know? No, don't. Don't take food from the street, Claudia. I actually, yeah, I do have a policy
Starting point is 00:08:12 not to eat a street off the floor. I'm having a really hard talking day, you know? Yeah, terst. Yeah, like I can't pronounce things. Even though like you could have said, I meant it like that, we are the terst, and we are. I did try to play it off like I meant it. You did a good job, but I was already pronounce things. Even though like you could have said, I meant it like that. We are the terst and we are. I did try to play it off like I meant it. Did you not?
Starting point is 00:08:27 You did a good job. But I was already ready there. I'm having a really hard like pronunciation and sentence forming kind of day. So it'll be an interesting podcast episode. It will be. I have been reading for the last 24 hours straight, the Lucy score book.
Starting point is 00:08:41 And it's so adorable. Like it's totally like Lucy did not flop. Like it's the elk of like you should read it so far. It's just like really cute. I like the characters. There's funny banter. I've chuckled a couple of times. Like that's what you want out of.
Starting point is 00:08:54 It's Lucy Lash. Your romance novel. I'm recording with the girls today and I'm excited to like break down the novel in a book club format. Cause in an analytical way. There's not that like much there there, but I think it will be fun. I think it will be funny.
Starting point is 00:09:10 And speaking of books, did you see me in the press? Is that that bitch Miley who had a lot to say about me in the press the other day? Yeah. Did you see me in the press? Yeah. Jackie's hosting. What are you doing exactly? Not hosting. I're on like a-
Starting point is 00:09:25 So I'm part of a judging panel for a story contest. The Novelry is running a story contest with a $100,000 prize. This isn't like an ad or anything. And they selected 10 celebrity judges who are like- Who are involved in the literary space. A lot of authors like Carly Fortune. And then like literary influencers like myself
Starting point is 00:09:46 and Emma Roberts, Oshamamit. 10 judges, we will be judging the story contest and awarding someone $100,000 for their story. So it's like kind of a big deal. There's never been a prize money this big in the story writing sphere. That's honestly to be seen for your passions must be an amazing feeling.
Starting point is 00:10:04 No, it is. It's like, I'm so excited to read all the stories and to share my thoughts and get together with my fellow judges. And I just wanted to shout it out because like, if you're an aspiring writer girly, submit. Is it over? Like you could still submit.
Starting point is 00:10:18 No, no, no, we're judging in October. Like it just started. They just announced it. That's why I was in the press yesterday. I can use a hundred grand. Maybe I'll submit a story. The platform is called The Novelry. It's actually a website where you can take writing classes
Starting point is 00:10:33 and they are the ones running the contest. So if you are a writer, get in there. Carol Radswell. The Novelry. That's cool. Reading is obviously a passion of yours. It's a part of your online persona. So to be seen and sort of selected for something you're not like, we're known mostly for pop culture, right?
Starting point is 00:10:55 So to be seen for your secondary interest, it must be an amazing feeling. And like I was selected because of being an influential reader, but also being an author myself, the camper and the counselor. I'm the only children's book author on the panel. So I really feel excited about that. She checks the box.
Starting point is 00:11:13 For sure. Oh my God. It's just lots, lots happening here, you know? Like exciting things. Jack's coming to New York soon. I am, we're gonna be doing toast New York episodes together. That's why like May is just gonna be such a fun month,
Starting point is 00:11:27 like different every day. Like I feel like April was very steady. We were here, we were sat, Jackson Claude. Right. May, every day will be different. And I personally, you know what? I take it back.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Oh, speaking of May day, it's my husband's birthday. Oh, you know what? That was on my list of things to talk about. So shout out to my husband for being born. Is Rose your husband today? My Rose is my husband today and every day, but especially today, it's a bigger Rose. So we're gonna have a really fun weekend celebrating.
Starting point is 00:12:01 I feel like this Friday feels less like a part of the week and more like a part of the weekend because I'm just thinking about how we're gonna celebrate, the things we're gonna have a really fun weekend celebrating. I feel like this Friday feels less like a part of the week and more like a part of the weekend. So I'm just like thinking about like how we're gonna celebrate the things we're gonna do. We have some fun plans. I actually like my gift is being installed today for him. I'm really excited. It's a cold plunge.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Installed? Oh. Cold plunge. You mean the cold plunge you got a year ago? It's been in my garage cause I like didn't know how to install it. So the setup is the gift? Like the fact that it's been set up? Yeah, like that he will have now a cold plunge
Starting point is 00:12:28 that is activated. Cause he knows that there's a cold plunge in the garage. He does. Okay. And that was like meant to be the gift for him. I got him a cold plunge, but now for his birthday this year, I'm setting- We're installing it.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Next year, we're going to put water in it. No, I got him like seriously a state of the art cold plunge from Son Home. So I was like sauna. Where are you gonna put it? In my backyard. Like in what area you mean? Not the living room. Yeah, like in what area? You know, like tucked away has to be somewhere
Starting point is 00:12:57 where there is water line and electricity. So that like- And shade, do you need shade? You don't need shade. And also all areas of the backyard get shade at a different point of the day. So if you want, but it could be nice to be in the sun while you're in the cold plunge.
Starting point is 00:13:10 It actually could be really nice. Yeah, but does it make the water warm? No, and not if you like get in right at the right time. There's like a temperature. It's state of the art, Coach. Well, my husband will be at your house all the time. I think like everybody's gonna be coming to my house to use my cold plunge.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I think so too. And that's exciting. And I might plunge a little. You should. I like to say fuck. Okay, literally Miranda Cosgrove. I might plunge a little. Hey, I so relate to her in that moment.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Like so many times I'll say something and I really feel like Miranda Cosgrove. I like to say that. I see you're also having a bit of like a challenging day when it comes to sentence forming. Why, what did I say? There's just been a couple of sentences you've had trouble forming and didn't wanna call it out,
Starting point is 00:13:57 but now it's like, kind of like we're on the same wavelength today. Maybe you're having like sympathy, brain fog. Sympathy pangs, maybe, but I think I kind of like slayed my articulation. Okay. I'll be the judge of that.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Of course you will. And I'll be the judge of the novel, Ray. Hundred grand, baby. Oh, we can't talk to her now. She's like a judge, you know? A celebrity judge. You gotta- Do you have your gavel?
Starting point is 00:14:22 Like you're a judge. No, I am a judge. I think your gavel? Like you're a judge. No, I am a judge. I think your gavel might be here at my studio. It is, but I will be a kind and judicious judge. I do believe we should dive in because we have stories. We also have Queenie and Weenie of the Week, which is my favorite day of the week. Congratulations to the New York Knicks
Starting point is 00:14:40 for winning the game last night. Unfortunately, that means they're progressing to the next round and now I'm gonna have to spend the next couple of weeks trying to convince my husband to stay home and then I'm gonna have to be like, oh yeah, Carl Anthony Towns, it's Jordan Woods. I don't know if you guys wanna hear that story five more times.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Like. We're all good on it, however, what could be an interesting development? Like is there a world in which the Knicks are in the finals and you're giving birth and your husband has to choose? Yeah, I guess, oh, choose, no. What if he got like courtside tickets
Starting point is 00:15:13 to the seventh game of the finals Knicks championships and you're going into labor? And the Knicks asked him to put on a Jersey and get in the game, he still wouldn't be allowed to go. He would have to choose. I thought you were gonna say, is there a world in which like we're in the hospital and the game is on? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:33 That's so party. That's like, we watched the Super Bowl, Harry was born on Super Bowl Sunday. Exactly. So yeah. It was a tiny TV, but. I mean, if the Knicks are still in and they're about to play the Celtics,
Starting point is 00:15:42 like, sorry, they're out in three games, like four. Is there a world in which in like a couple of weeks they're still in? It would be miraculous, yes, but it's possible. Yeah, so he might be feeling conflicted. Do I watch the birth of my son? Right, son, or me and the Brunson boys. Ben has like this group chat,
Starting point is 00:16:01 it's called the Brunson boys. And- Is there a Brunson in it? It's about Jalen Brunson. Oh, he's not in it. No, he's like the theme. Okay. It's a thematic title. And whenever something's happening,
Starting point is 00:16:16 he's like, I gotta tell the Brunson Boys. I'm like, okay, gay boys. Like, they're like- So long, gay boys. No, and they're like in the chat like, OMG, these refs suck. I'm like, you guys are some of the biggest losers I've ever met in my life.
Starting point is 00:16:28 But it's all in good fun, you know? A little nomination for waning up the week, the brightest in voice. Yeah. Honestly, they are worthy. Even though I think we should be encouraging like male chats about fun, you know, harmless topics.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Male camaraderie. Agreed. As opposed to like four sums. If I ever like snoop through Ben's phone, which like I definitely do like every now and then. Oh, you're a snooper? Yeah. That's interesting. I didn't know that about you.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Mostly not like looking for anything salacious, mostly because like, I just like to see how my husband talks. Do you know what I mean? Like how he's representing himself to the world. Yes. And I would say every single, like Ben's snooping on Ben's own is so uninteresting because none of these numbers are saved.
Starting point is 00:17:11 They're all like random distributors. It's all spritz stuff. So it's low key boring. But then when I see a familiar name, I'll like, look, it's not interesting, but I just like to know what he's like forward-facing. I know my Ben on the inside, but how does he act to other people?
Starting point is 00:17:28 And you're okay with what you see? Yeah, it's mostly boring, like business. Does he know that you snoop? Well, now he does. Probably. Yeah, no, I'm not ashamed of it. We have no secrets. Like, I feel like it's mostly when I'm on his computer. I'm like, let me just see what's going on.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Yeah. It's not snooping, I can't explain it. Snooping is like a- Check in. A subtext. I just like to know what my husband's getting into. Yeah, check in. He's such an anomaly to me.
Starting point is 00:17:55 He is not an anomaly, that man. He wears his heart on his sleeve. It's true, but how does he, what does he wear on his sleeve to other people? Yeah. You people? Yeah. You know? Yeah, I do. Maybe we'll cut that out.
Starting point is 00:18:09 No kidding. Nah, he won't be hurt. I have nothing to hide. Like seriously, if he has nothing to hide. Okay. But to be clear, like he can't go through my phone. No, there's girly stuff. There's girly stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah, super girly. Especially these days, there's like pictures of my toilet paper. Like, no. No, no, no, no, no, girly stuff. There's girly stuff. Yeah, super girly. Especially these days, there's like pictures of my toilet paper, like, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We are not the same. Well, speaking of your toilet paper, let's get into the Fast Five stories that you need to know. And the Fast Five stories that you need to know
Starting point is 00:18:40 are brought to you by the new Huggies Snug and Dry. They are luxuriously soft and ultra dry. So how soft are we talking? We're talking unbelievably soft. We're talking irresistibly soft. It's grease lightning. Your baby deserves a diaper that is so gentle on their tushy.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Baby's bottom is just one of the most like important things on earth and we must protect them. And I think Huggies really understands that. So the Huggies Snug and Dry diapers help you experience unexpected softness and up to 100% leak protection of the Huggies Snug and Dry diapers.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Jackie, can you just share a little bit of an anecdote of how surprised you were when you experienced the softness of the Huggies Snug and Dry diapers? So yes, the softness is impeccable. You only wanna be putting the softest things on baby's bottom. So it is important. You don't want scratchy.
Starting point is 00:19:28 You don't want thin. Like you want plush. They're so sensitive. Indulgent. They are sensitive. And they're just, they're coming from the comfort of the womb, right? So you can't just now hit them with a scratch. Scratchy old diaper. No, you want the best plushies.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Well, we say cozy. We love cozy. Cozy. The Huggies diapers are cozy. There's nothing worse than your kids saying my tushy hurts. Oh my god. It's like seriously burn the diapers. Right. Well, not Huggies Snug and Dry. More parents are choosing the new Huggies Snug and Dry Softness versus the leading premium diapers. So check out the new Huggies Snug and Dry Huggies. We got you baby. Today's episode is also brought to you by Vivrelle. So the first of its kind luxury accessories members only club.

So when you become a Vivrelle member, you can treat yourself to their closet and treat it like your own. You can borrow anything within your tier. Vivrelle has no return dates. You can swap items once per month,
Starting point is 00:20:23 keep items for as long as you'd like. Memberships start at $45 a month. I have to say Vivrelle is no return dates. You can swap items once per month, keep items for as long as you'd like. Memberships start at $45 a month. I have to say, Vivrelle is the most genius thing. Like, I can't believe I didn't think of it. So many designer bags are so fab, but so trendy. So you don't obviously want to invest in them because in a year you're like, why did I buy this stupid bag?
Starting point is 00:20:37 But if you're a Vivrelle member, membership start at $45 a month, and you can be walking around with like a $5,000 bag for like the two months that it's cool. And then you can give it back and no harm, no foul, you literally spent $45. It's just amazing. And they actually have premium bags like designers, Chanel,
Starting point is 00:20:52 they have Prada bags, they literally have everything. They also have amazing jewelry, like fine jewelry. It's one of the best investments. I was just talking to Taylor Strecker, I was like, you need to become a Viveral member. Like it's seriously the best thing in the world. I'm rocking a Chanel bag from VIVRL right now that I would seriously never buy.
Starting point is 00:21:06 It's just like a little nutty. Meanwhile, I've had it for like three months. I love it. And it's just VIVRL memberships are so flexible. They're not like nuts. Like you gotta send it back. Like chill. Sometimes I'm itching for a bag
Starting point is 00:21:17 and it's so great to take it for a spin on VIVRL because I've had the experience where I've had my fun with it and I've been like, you know what? I'm satiated. I don't need to buy this bag. But then sometimes I have an experience. I'm like, oh, I need this bag the whole time.

Starting point is 00:21:44 Today's episode is also brought to you by Caraway. So, Caraway's non-toxic cookware is really bringing peace of mind to swirlies around the nation. When you're cooking for your family, you're cooking for yourself, it's important to know like what's going on, you know? What's the underlying issue here?
Starting point is 00:22:02 And Caraway is so worth the investment. It's non-toxic cookware. Over a lifetime, a person consumes at least the equivalent of the height of the Eiffel Tower in microplastics. 97% of Americans have PFAs, toxic chemicals, from their non-stick cookware in their blood. Well, two and a half minutes is all it takes before a non-stick pan overheats and releases toxins.
Starting point is 00:22:21 And Caraway is actively acting against that.

Starting point is 00:23:10 Our first story, we've got a lot of music news today, actually, because it's New Music Friday, and Kelly Clarkson dropped a new song. I don't know if you heard it. I did, I saw her exclusively releasing it on her SiriusXM show, which I didn't even know she had a SiriusXM show. This woman works so fucking hard.
Starting point is 00:23:24 So there's a lot of news here. She released a song called Where Have You Been? And I listened to it this morning as I was getting ready. This is of course, Parjeleish. But I'm listening to the lyrics and I'm like, oh, Kelly has a new man. Kelly's fallen in love. This song is about like, where have you been?
Starting point is 00:23:35 This magical person, this perfect person. Well, I was stuck in a prison of my own making with my horrible ex-husband. Turns out it's actually about Meryl Streep and Martin Short. So she revealed on her SiriusXM show that we didn't know that she had, with my horrible ex-husband. Turns out it's actually about Meryl Streep and Martin Short. So she revealed on her SiriusXM show that we didn't know that she had,
Starting point is 00:23:48 that the song was inspired by the two iconic actors who both star in Only Murders in the Building. She said, I wrote this song, this is, I've rarely done something like this, but I was watching Only Murders in the Building. It's Martin Short's face. He says to Meryl Streep's character in the show, where have you been?
Starting point is 00:24:04 He's like- Oh, they're characters. I thought their offscreen romance inspired the song. I think it's a little bit of both, cause she said he's like, he's in awe. And I was like, has there been, has anyone written a song? Cause the song is happy, cause it's like, you found something that you thought was almost basically a unicorn and did not exist.
Starting point is 00:24:18 She said, I hope you dig it. Kelly, we're digging it for sure. However, I did hope that it meant like- Me too. Personal love for you. But she's, hope that it meant like personal love for you but she's going the Carrie Underwood storyteller Taylor Swift folklore route. I'm writing about things that I see out in the world.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And you're writing about like fictional stories, books, movies, et cetera. So I like it too. I also love Martin Short and Meryl Streep's like offscreen romance. So the fact that Kelly's like is probably aware of it just brings me joy. However, not however, sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Additionally. Great. I don't know if you're aware. You know how there's the Gaylor conspiracy theories like Taylor Swift is gay? Yes, outside of the Kaylor. Yeah, it's all a part of the Karlie Kloss era. But who was another female lover of hers?
Starting point is 00:25:06 According to the Gay lore stands, Diana Agron. Oh, right, right, right. Okay, cool, cool, continue. That fiddle player who worked on Taylor Swift's original tour and then got fired. Yeah, if you're into gay lore, which I am not, there's a lot of material to work with. Now, there is a movement within the stand-up
Starting point is 00:25:23 of Kelly Clarkson of Gellie. Gellie, okay. Yeah, where they think Kelly might be a lesbian. With whomst? No one. It's all based on this one performance she gave. We're working, not wait, sorry, I'm not a part of it. They are working with really minimal material.
Starting point is 00:25:41 But I saw them investigating this song as well. So now that Kelly's being upfront with what it's actually about, I guess that kind of dispels the Gellie rumors. Yeah, but they'll latch onto something else. Yeah. And I would just say like, I would love that for Kelly. Yeah. I would have loved this to be about like Kelly's personal life, but then I just also, that's so revealing.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And she's in a private era of her life, but I, I hope that one day she has this feeling. Now I know that we spoke previously about Kelly, reports that Kelly wanted to leave New York and thus, you know, probably leaving her show. I didn't realize like how deep her roots were here. She also records a SiriusXM show in studio. Now she could do that anywhere.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yeah, every, like Nashville has plenty of radio shows. But she does have like deep roots here. It's gonna make it hard for her. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see what she does. I think the show is probably the hardest thing to move. And then also not a story, but today,
Starting point is 00:26:37 speaking of Kelly, Rascal Flatts, Backstreet Boys, Rascal Flatts song came out today. Did you listen? They did What Hurts the Most. Oh, I didn't. Claudia, My ears were bleeding. The first verse is, they made it like Backstreet Boys style. The first verse is sung by BSB.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And like, seriously, I was in pain. Thankfully on the second verse, Gary's angelic voice comes in to save the song. And it actually sounds kind of nice. Gary's voice with their beats, cause they use like pop synth a little bit. But they ruin the song. They're trying so hard.
Starting point is 00:27:07 And we thought Jonas Brothers and Rascal Flatts was too many cooks in the kitchen. This is eight cooks in the kitchen. I just want to say, I didn't think that. We did, no, before I Dare You came out, we're like, that just sounds like a lot of people on a song, six, eight. I think I Dare You is one of the best songs ever.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah, no, before it came out, we were expressing concerns, six people on a song, that's a lot of people on a song, this is eight people on a song. Yeah, but Rascal Flat's only one of them sings, so that's, it's not eight, it's like six. The other one does background, but they play instruments, the other two. Yeah, but still.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Whatever. Still. Yeah, I'm shocked to hear that. I'm not that upset because of all like the re-release songs, the collab with the Backstreet Boys and What Hurts the Most like are two things I don't particularly care about. So ruin it, go, sure. Have your fun.
Starting point is 00:27:54 It's not like they ruined a fave, like Fast Cars and Freedom. Correct. So I'm okay, but I'm shocked to hear you say that. And I'm devastated. No, so far the album, it's not just like a shoe in. Every song has really been different and some are not hitting for me, but some are-
Starting point is 00:28:11 The best is Blake Shelton. Mayberry is the best one. Yeah. Some are changing my life. So it's mixed bag. Now back to Kelly Clarkson, I need her team to produce a music video starring Martin Short and Meryl Streep.
Starting point is 00:28:23 That would be extremely cute. That would be cute. And I feel like- And also, this bodes well for KC7, KCA, where are we? It does, it does. New album coming soon, hopefully. I think this is the first single and it sounds beautiful. And like, her voice is more insane than ever.
Starting point is 00:28:39 The songs, I like the beat. How about as a society, let's not sleep on Kelly Clarkson's music, you know? Right, you're waiting for new albums. You didn't listen to the old albums. You've got new music waiting for you. As the albums are actively being released, you know? Yeah, but also some of you.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I've been guilty of it myself. I was a little late to chemistry. I'm completely acknowledging my part in this. Could go into her catalog and you'd be hearing it for the first time. And there you go, you got Kelly Clarkson new music. I just feel like she's always getting like slept on and it's like we're always having Kelly's renaissance.
Starting point is 00:29:10 What if we just like, what if we just appreciated Kelly in the time that she was in? Not me. No, not you. Not me. Are you ready for our next story? It's some more music news. We're so musical. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I guess it is also Friday, but actually Ed Sheeran made a lot of news this week because he was posting photos. Didn't make news on the toast, but I noticed it. He- I saw the picture of him and Taylor. Yeah, the jam and the note.
Starting point is 00:29:35 He started posting all these throwback photos from his old phone. He like started an account, Ed's old phone or whatever, and like shared all these pictures that he found from back in the day. You could even tell from the way the photos were taken like it was a moment in time. I thought nothing of it. You know celebrities love to make secondary Instagram accounts like oh my life in film. Like people love to do like secondary projects. We're like sure.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I thought nothing of it especially because his original Instagram is like Teddy Graham right? So it's like he's got hands in the fire whatever. He was posting cute Graham, right? So it's like, he's got hands in the fire, whatever. He was posting cute pictures, Taylor, who was there? Harry, everyone. Gigi Hadid, like literally everyone. 1D, everyone. So it made a lot of news, just like all these photos circulating.
Starting point is 00:30:15 And honestly, it's brilliant because it ended up being this like huge marketing campaign for a new song called Old Phone. A new album. Which we didn't even, like, I never would have thought that this, like him sharing old photos was in service of anything. And I have to tell you,
Starting point is 00:30:30 that's some of the best marketing I've ever seen. Toasty Lion? It's not Toasty Lion worthy only because like, why isn't it Toasty Lion worthy? Because I understand, like it's a 99, but it's not a 100. Like. And at the end of the day, I think like the result is like new Ed Sheeran music.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Like. Stop, the song Old Phone sounds good. Yes, yes it does. It's from his new album Play. I thought the album was called Old Phone. I thought that would also have been really cute. And look, he got us. No, it was A plus to whoever came up with this campaign.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I don't know if it needed to be like its own Instagram account, but whatever. Like him sharing old phone and like using his celebrity friends to like, you know, launch this new era. I thought it was brilliant. Yeah, I thought so too. When I saw it and I heard the teaser for the song,
Starting point is 00:31:21 I was like, go Ed. And I feel like the formula for releasing new music is so lame these days. Like we're wiping our Instagrams, we're changing our profile pictures to be black. And it's like new era is beginning for Normani. And then the era never begins, but for Normani. But like, it's so formulaic at this point,
Starting point is 00:31:40 it's not exciting. So for him to really switch it up, like he's kind of raised the bar for everybody. And it's definitely hard to stand out in the pop space as a boring straight man. A boy, yeah, 1000%. No, but some of the, is Benson Boone gay? No.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Oh, okay. So good for him too. But sometimes when you got a little flair. No, of course it's easier to like play up with outfits and different things. But Ed Sheeran's not putting on a dress like Harry Styles. No, and Harry is like, he is fluid, right? So I don't know if I would even say
Starting point is 00:32:15 Harry Styles is like a straight guy. But like he is. Well, I think a lot of people have issue with him because he's like always saying that he's- At least the whole set, but like that's why I didn't mention Harry Styles. He's always saying that he's fluid, but it's like, prove it, all your girlfriends are girls.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Like only dates girls. Like he just wants to wear a dress. I'm wearing a dress. No, but he's fluid, like according to him. Or actually according to like a lot of his art too. So I wasn't gonna say Harry Styles because I'm not 100% sure. I wasn't gonna say Harry Styles either
Starting point is 00:32:39 because like he is technically a boring straight man who's making things interesting. But he's not because he like makes out with guys in his music video, he put technically a boring straight man who's making things interesting. But he's not. He's not. Because he like makes out with guys in his music video, he put on a dress and he is fluid, although like he only has girlfriends. Like we're, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Let's seriously not go there. He's fluid because he wears high heels? Like, because he's. No, and because like he's said like his sexuality is fluid. So I wouldn't call him straight. Okay. Yeah. This is a conversation bigger than us, you know?
Starting point is 00:33:11 The Harry Styles relationship to the LGBTQ plus community. And I'm not going there like for real. No, no, no, that's why I didn't say him. That's why I thought Benson. That's why I went, oh, Farrie Styles. No, so Benson is interesting because he does use a lot of the like the stereotypically more like feminine things
Starting point is 00:33:30 like big outfits and clips. They're calling him the next Freddie Mercury. Right, right, but he's totally straight, I believe. Got it, okay. Let me ask chat just to make sure. Interesting, interesting. Yeah, ask chat, I'm sure chat knows. I wonder if chat can read my typos.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I feel like they speak, Coach. As of now, he has not publicly identified as gay. He's in a relationship with an actress. Oh, okay. Okay, cool. Cool, cool, cool. Cue, cue. Are you ready for our next story speaking of relationships?
Starting point is 00:34:05 Okay. New couple news, Southern Charm alum, Naomi Olindo is dating Brooke. I'm so glad we're talking about this. I mean, you know, she's dating Brooks Nader's ex-husband, Billy Hare. So Naomi Olindo and Billy Hare. So why do we care?
Starting point is 00:34:19 To explain to the people, why would you care? Well, I care about Naomi Olindo deeply as a Southern Charm fan, and she's no longer on the show, I care about Naomi Olindo deeply as a Southern charm fan. And you know, she's no longer on the show, but she dated Craig and she's a P-Jow of a woman and you just want what's best for her. She did it. Yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:34:32 So whoever she's- Why now? Why this man? Let me tell you why it's interesting. What do you know about him? Other than Brooks Nader's ex-husband. So a lot of people didn't know like when Brooks Nader popped onto the scene,
Starting point is 00:34:43 like modeling, that she had this husband. And I think that didn't really when Brooks Nader popped onto the scene modeling that she had this husband. I think that didn't really speak to the health of the marriage because literally nobody knew she had a husband. But if you did a little research, you would find out not only she had a husband, she had a rich husband. And I do believe it was quite a tumultuous,
Starting point is 00:34:58 not good marriage. And they ended up recently getting divorced, which also made no news. Her marriage came and went so quietly, but it left this handsome, eligible, young billionaire. And I'm so glad that Naomi O'Lindo had the foresight to just snatch him up. Yeah, they were photographed on a pontoon together,
Starting point is 00:35:20 like smiling. They took an Instagram official, like he posted her on his story, and then she really shared the story. Yeah, so they are very much shading. We don't know more than that, but I'm here for it. A 1000%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Naomi also like makes good relationships. I know that like what happened with Matul was bad, right? But before that, he was like this very handsome, very promising young man, right? He was gonna become this big doctor, really big, cute family, handsome face. Like she does pick men well. Now, obviously, Matul ended up being like a cheater.
Starting point is 00:35:53 But I just- And like when you watch the show, he was like- Mean. Diet shaming her. Like it was weird with food. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Weird with food and working out. But I'm talking about men on paper.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Okay, on paper. All their resumes are partilish. Yeah, Craig paper. All their resumes are perjolish. Yeah, Craig too. Well, I think a lot of people were perhaps holding out hope that Craig and Naomi would get back together. I'm not one of those people. I'm not and I like them so much both separately she would think I would be,
Starting point is 00:36:14 but no, I think there's just too much that. Yeah, history. They're both also so changed from the people that they were when they were dating. I think they would just always see them, she would always just see him as Craig in the the sewing and like, you know, and. Yeah, no, the relationship also ran its course. Like I was sad when they broke up, but it's not the right,
Starting point is 00:36:32 but I do think since Craig has become single, people had been like, maybe, like she's the one that got away. I didn't think so. But this kind of put a kibosh on that. Yeah, happy for her. Me too, love to see. Come back to Southern Charm with your mans now.
Starting point is 00:36:45 No, no, no. Once you are with a billionaire, you don't need a reality show. Like you're good. Enjoy your new life. And he's a confirmed billionaire? Very wealthy. We're like, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Confirmed wealth. I'm not an account manager on his confirmed wealth. Okay, great. Yeah. Wishing. The wealth is confirmed. Wishing them lots of love. LOL, lots of love.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Are you ready for our next story, which is also some new couple news? Is this number four? This is number four. I am. I Spice went Instagram official with New York Jet star, Sauce Gardener. I Spice is dating a Jet
Starting point is 00:37:23 while giving a glimpse into her life later. I thought you were gonna say, I Spice is dating a jet while giving a glimpse into her life later. I thought you were gonna say, I Spice is dating a Jew. Well, I don't know sauce Gardner. Maybe he's a Jew, probably not. Gardner is not a Jewish last name. Actually, you do have a friend Gardner. I do?
Starting point is 00:37:38 Olivia does. Okay. Even though this is Garder. Oh yeah, Olivia does. She subtly made her budding romance with New York checks cornerback, Soss Garter, Instagram official, indeed amid solo shots of herself and a video playing in the snow while wearing a bikini,
Starting point is 00:37:55 she shared a mirror selfie with the NFL player. Do you feel like Ice Spice is still famous? No. Like she's right, like she's on her way out, right? It's crazy. She was like true. Like this happens a lot in the music industry, like true flash in the pan.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Like you're everything everywhere all at once. I've been thinking that a lot recently about Lil Nas X. Remember him? I've been thinking that a lot about Lil Nas X too. Claudia, would you call him a one hit wonder? Old Town Road? Like no, I need someone to love me.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I would call him a one year wonder. I feel like because of social media, when you have a really big hit, you're more than likely to have two or three more, but it's not so much now about one hits, it's about a time period. So I would say the new one hit wonder is a one year wonder. And that's how I feel about Ice Spice too.
Starting point is 00:38:44 She had a couple of songs, think you're the shit bitch, wonder is a one year wonder. And that's how I feel about Ice Spice too. Like, right? She had a couple of songs. Think you're the shit bitch. You're not even the fart. Claudia, I don't know one Ice. Like Ice Spice is actually not- You do, you do. No, no, no, Claudia.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I don't. Ice Spice is actually, that's an insult to Lil Nas X. Cause like he had albums. I know he has a lot of fans and people that are probably saying to me like how could he be a one hit wonder? He could only be a one hit wonder because Old Town Road was so big,
Starting point is 00:39:05 like bigger than anything. The Boyzalaya, do you know that song? No, I know for a fact I don't know any Ice Spice songs and if no one like told me about Ice Spice and certain like, and I know Karma. But well, that's not her songs, but she has 10 songs on Spotify that have over a hundred million streams. That's not her songs, but she has 10 songs on Spotify that have over 100 million streams.
Starting point is 00:39:26 That's something. Okay, play the number one song. The Boyzalaya. You know that song? Can you play a little bit of it? Like we don't even run ads here. So far is there any room for me? I would have to hold my breath.
Starting point is 00:39:42 It's honestly good. Because you only want to hold me when I'm looking good tonight. I think you know this song. Never heard this breath It's honestly good I would have to hold my breath I wouldn't want to leave Cause you aren't the one to hold me when I'm looking good to last Never heard that It's really good Cause you aren't the one to hold me when I'm looking good to last Cause you aren't the one to hold me when I'm looking good to last Cause you aren't the one to hold me when I'm looking good to last Cause you aren't the one to hold me when I'm looking good to last
Starting point is 00:39:50 I don't want to get demonetized We don't run ads on this show on YouTube Yeah but still they can like they can put ads like if you have copyrighted material like we won't get demonetized But they'll start monetizing and put like a thousand commercials on this piece of content. Brats. I just find it interesting. Ben just texted me. It's supposed to be 80 degrees tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Blank asked if I wanna play golf. I'm just feeling like I wanna say no. Do it. No. Like he was in Charleston all day yesterday. Like I did my time. So ice and sauce. Oh, back to Lil Nas X. Like I did my time. So ice and sauce. Oh, back to Lil Nas X. And I think you would having that thought
Starting point is 00:40:29 about Lil Nas X, because he's been talking about it a lot. He sometimes pops up on my Twitter and he's like, I'm being blackballed from the industry. Like that's what his like line of thinking is. But I just think it also speaks to like, you just burn hot and fast in music now. Like with social media, like you're everywhere.
Starting point is 00:40:43 And it's like, what do you have next? What do you have next? And if you don't have something next then you don't have something. Right, and some people could do with social media, like you're everywhere. That's what I'm saying. And it's like, what do you have next? What do you have next? And if you don't have something next, then you don't have something. Right, and some people could do it. I feel like we're in that moment right now with Benson Boone. Like I could see us in three years being like,
Starting point is 00:40:52 what happened to that guy who like wore the jumpsuit and did the flips? Like. I think that the songs are like good enough. Like, they're not like. I thought that the Lil Nas X music was very good. Outside of Old Town Road. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I need someone to love me. Like it was good music. Okay. So I just think like, oh, I mean, remember Logic? No. Right, he was that like rapper with the glasses who had the song about like the suicide hotline. And oh my God, that year at the awards,
Starting point is 00:41:28 like he was everywhere. They're like logic, logic, logic, logic. Where is logic? I also feel that way about Khalid. Wow, throwback. Right? He was everywhere. These people for like one or two years
Starting point is 00:41:41 who are just like the darlings of the music industry. Alessia Cara. Alessia Cara, yes. If Alessia Cara has no fans, where am I? That's a really good one too. I would have listened to anything she put out. I loved every song she put out. And then she kind of got the opportunity of a lifetime
Starting point is 00:41:59 which was to be the official singer for See the Light, Where the Sky, Meets the Sea. Which is the biggest, and was the biggest song of the year in like in another stratosphere from Moana. So I don't know. Yeah. Makes you think.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Definitely makes you think. Ice and Sauce, initially, were suspicions in September when she went to a Jets game. And then they also went to the Vanity Fair Oscars party together. So they've been dating for a while. So like-
Starting point is 00:42:26 And this bodes well for her friendship with Taylor. Right, maybe you'll see her at a Jets game. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. Jets versus Kansas City Chiefs. Jets versus Sharks. In the sweets. Jets versus Sharks. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:25 Our fifth and final story is some almost casting news. Love almost casting news. It's some ACN at T-T. ACN at T-N-N. I love that. Kelsey Ballerini reveals she auditioned to play Jennifer Coolidge's assistant on The White Lotus season two,
Starting point is 00:47:45 the role that actually went to Haley Lou Richardson. Let me tell you, it's so good she didn't get it. Did you watch season two? No. Everyone fucking hated Portia. They're like, this bitch is so fucking annoying. And Kelsey is a likable queen. And honestly, I feel like Haley Lou Richardson
Starting point is 00:48:01 never came back from that, honestly. It was, she was so good at being so unlikable. No. That's so funny. After telling Variety recently that she's auditioned for a lot of things and not gotten them, she revealed to people at the Variety Power of Women Nashville event yesterday
Starting point is 00:48:14 that she tried out for the role of Tanya's assistant, Portia, on season two of The White Lotus, which Haley Lou Richardson eventually landed. She said, I have no shame in my game. I auditioned for the second season of The White Lotus for the role of the assistant that Haley did. She praised Haley for acting, quote, so beautifully and brilliantly in the role, adding,
Starting point is 00:48:29 but yeah, I did. So annoyingly. I did audition for that. Fun fact. I feel like it wasn't the right role for her. When you said she auditioned, I was wondering what you were gonna say. The assistant was supposed to be this like
Starting point is 00:48:41 little sad sack, right? And Kelsey, and I'm sure like you can get into character with like wardrobe, but Kelsey is this like bombshell pop star. Right. It's not the right fit. I don't know. I thought you were going to say that maybe one of the like Italian hookers, like they were like these confident bodacious women.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Yeah. What's meant for you will be yours. Not that Kelsey's a hooker. You know what I mean? It's like what Gwyneth was saying. I'm sure you saw that clip, how she auditioned for something like a big role before it, like when she was really in the game back in the day and she didn't get it and she was so angry. And then Blythe was like, it's not your role.
Starting point is 00:49:12 But it's also easy to like now look back on that when you have enormous success and you have like a million Shakespeare in love, like you have a million big roles. So what's one more? But like there are some people who almost didn't get a role and we've never heard of them. So like, it's not as easy to heal.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Yes, definitely. But I think for Kelsey, she'll be okay. She's actually, she's trying to get into acting now. She had said in Women's Health, it's one of the things that I was like, run towards the things that scare you, which is acting. But then she said, what if I suck? But then she said, you know what I'll do?
Starting point is 00:49:40 I'll go put on my glitter and go back on stage. That's always gonna be home. I think it's Chase. It's the Chase Stokes effect. Yeah, because I feel like she's having such success with music that she should stay in that, not stay in your lane, but it's hard to, especially as a country girly, to breach the genre. And she's definitely country pop, right?
Starting point is 00:50:02 I think the people who go to her concerts are a real mix. And with the rolling up the welcome mat and then like her relationship that everyone's obsessed with, like she's had kind of a bad or two years and she's doing bigger venues and huge tours and her albums are so successful. And I feel like she should really lean into that as opposed to like channeling energy into a new project.
Starting point is 00:50:21 People's desire to take their success and turn it into an acting career is something I will never understand. It's a lot of times like what people wanna do. I will never understand that. Kim. That's who I'm talking about primarily. Oh, totally.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I will never. That I genuinely don't understand. Like you're a billionaire, like stop. No, I just don't understand it. Like if I ever became a billionaire, I obviously wouldn't tell people, but there would be signs, right? You would never fucking hear from me again.
Starting point is 00:50:52 But what about the attention? Like don't you still like, you're still you. I'll pay people to pay attention to me. You're still you. I think you would still hear from you, but like definitely you'd be working less. Not more. This is my favorite quote,
Starting point is 00:51:05 like everybody wants to be rich and famous. Make them rich and see if it doesn't solve all their problems. I don't know. You don't get it? No, I don't know that it's the most amazing quote. No, it's so true, because you look at this life and you're like, rich and famous, rich and famous.
Starting point is 00:51:21 And it's like, well, really what you want is the money. And like fame is toxic and it's fun sometimes, but like you get the money, you'll be fine, trust me. You won't yearn for the fame. But if you get the fame, you will yearn from the money. Cause there is a misconception that like famous people are richer than they are. Yeah, well that's true.
Starting point is 00:51:39 And they ain't. That's why like I feel like the level of famous that like the sharks are at is good. They're not like huge stars, but like everybody knows them, they're like America's sweethearts, but they're so rich. Most celebrities aren't that rich. That's why you see them doing commercials and random ass shit.
Starting point is 00:51:56 They're working. Correct, and they can't not. They can't stop. They live expensive lives. Those were the Fast Five stories. It's time to dive into my personal favorite part of the week, Queenie and Weenie of the week. Our final segment of the week where Jack and I
Starting point is 00:52:09 just sort of like to wrap up the week, take a look at the week at a glance and give out two awards, Queenie of the week and Weenie of the week. They're pretty self-explanatory. Somebody who acted like a Queenie this week, somebody who acted like a Weenie this week. It's harmless, it's fun.
Starting point is 00:52:19 If you committed a crime, you're not gonna be Weenie of the week. You're gonna be in jail and you're gonna have a Weenie in your mouth. So Queenie to start, Jax? Queenie to start, my Queenie of the Week, you're gonna be in jail, and you're gonna have a Weenie in your mouth. So, Queenie to start, Jax? Queenie to start, my Queenie of the Week is Delaney Rowe, BJ Novak's new girlfriend, influencer, extraordinaire, taking her talents from the page to the stage,
Starting point is 00:52:37 elevating influencers everywhere, and I'm just really happy for her in her new relationship, and it's Queenie-like behavior. I love that, I really do, that is Queenie-like behavior. And she hasn't let this attention get to her. Like she's still putting out her silly content. It's been a day, but yeah. No, but like, you know, she's been dating an A-lister since December now.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Now we know that. And she is so committed to her craft. Yeah, get BJ in a sketch. But other than that, you're crushing it. Now we were having this conversation offline before. Like I prepare all week for Queenie and Weenie and I can't believe I just looked at all week for Queenie and Weenie and I can't believe I just looked at my thing.
Starting point is 00:53:08 I have my Weenie and under my Queenie, I wrote someone who I, I have two Weenies. I just wanna say every week, like you take Queenie and Weenie so seriously. I do, I do. Nobody respects the QW more than you. Yeah. But every week you come with a Weenie and not a queenie.
Starting point is 00:53:25 I know, okay, I have my new one. Okay, who's your queenie? The queenie of my week is ChatGBT. We took our relationship to a new level. It's chatty. I took my relationship to a new level with ChatGBT. I know, I'm like paying for an escort. I pay $20 a month.
Starting point is 00:53:40 We've never been happier. I feel like the shows have been so much more well-informed. We haven't gotten comments in a while being like, you guys don't know this. No, we do because we have chat. I could see them being like, actually Benson Boone dated a man before he started a girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:53:53 I mean, chat isn't perfect. Chat isn't perfect. But I'll say that now that we've taken our relationships to the next level, we're generating images, we're on a payment plan. I feel we're connected than ever to artificial intelligence. I love that. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:54:09 My weenie of the week, though I don't like to join a pylon, I just have got to say who it is for what she's doing. There's definitely something nefarious going on, even if they did get done dirty by CBS, but it is Jordon Hudson for taking advantage of this poor old man. So what I find funny is that,
Starting point is 00:54:28 like this is how different we are. My weenie of the week is Bill Belichick. That's so funny. Like I know you're like a poor. But I thought that like we both came to the agreement that like she's the villain in the story. The villain, yes. But I do respect her hustle, you know?
Starting point is 00:54:41 And I also want to nominate weenie of the week, Bill Belichick's children. Where are you in this? You know, like, let me ask chat. Actually, this one, I could just Google. Yeah, I agree with that though, if he does have children, where are they? Three kids. But she could be grown, she could be pushing them. Of course, of course. I just think like he's not incapacitated. So while I do think he's definitely like being taken advantage of here, like it's a little weenie. Like you're a successful legendary.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Get the fuck up. Like stand up for yourself. Yeah. Some of this girl pushed you around. She's 16. Yeah. And his children are also weenie of the week. And I also have another nomination
Starting point is 00:55:24 because I did accidentally have two weenies. Have you gotten the new Instagram layout? No. Okay, it's gonna come for you. I don't know why it came for me yesterday. I didn't even update my app. I just like opened. I was so lost all day yesterday.
Starting point is 00:55:37 The new Instagram layout, they've just, everything looks the same, but they have decided to move three buttons. Like the DMs that you would like press the top right, that would be your inbox. That is now your notifications. The plus sign down at the bottom where like you would press to post is now your DM inbox.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Like they just like, you know when, what's that type of like psychological manipulation where you break into someone's house and you start moving things around just to like make them feel like they're going crazy? Yeah. That's what Instagram's doing to us. I was having the worst time on Instagram yesterday.
Starting point is 00:56:09 It was pissing me off. Put it back. Well, even on my Jackie O account, cause like on Red Heads it's been updated, but you know most people now, like the feeds aren't square photos. They're rectangle. They're like a little bit rectangular, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:21 I don't have that on Jackie O yet. And I want it. I don't have it on Claude with No Job Yet either. I like it. Like I like the change. I like it it. I don't have it on Claude with no job yet either. I like it. Like I like the change. I like it too. I'm like waiting for it. And with social media, I'm not like averse to change.
Starting point is 00:56:30 I like when they update it. Like when they take people's feedback, like it'll take a minute to adjust, but like it's better. Yeah, yeah. Nobody asks for this. There's always growing pains, but at the end of the day, they're usually doing the right thing.
Starting point is 00:56:40 This is bad. Like seriously, this is for no fucking reason. Citral Z you're saying? Citral Z it up, Mark Zuckerberg, Citral's up. Okay, okay. That's our show you guys. That is Happy Fried Dairies. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend,
