Good morning, Millennials. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Friday. I don't feel like singing today, even though I'm really glad it's Friday. I've never needed a weekend more. Hey, guys, I'm back. Sorry for missing yesterday's episode. I was planning on doing it like I was fully dressed. Me too.

It was just at the 11th hour. But the day took such a turn. So there was no episode yesterday because my worst nightmare came true and Theo left us yesterday. I can't believe I'm saying that. How are you? I'm okay. Like I'm going through like highs and lows. Like I cried on the toilet this morning, but then I was fine for the rest of the day it just keeps hitting me in different ways and like weird things and you know I'm trying to avoid like all pictures but he's just everywhere because that's like where he was you know um and he's everywhere at the studio I know for sure so he I'm okay um I do feel like

I've been slowly mourning Theo since we found out the news. Like I knew this day was going to come. So I don't, it doesn't feel as fresh, but, um, the actual like experience of like putting a dog down, which I had never done was so hard. And I just remember like wanting to get it over with basically what happened is like the last like two days, he was just like, like in bad shape. And I was really ignoring a lot of it. But when we woke up yesterday morning, it was just like unignorable. We woke up and I was like, what is that smell? And like my entire bedroom was covered in vomit and poop. And Theo got in bed with us and just started vomiting in his sleep.

And so Ben and I just like looked at each other and we were like, we had a doctor's appointment for like acupuncture at 11. And I called like looked at each other and we were like, we had a doctor's appointment for like acupuncture at 11. And I called the place and I was like, can we come in earlier to see like a regular doctor? And also like, do you guys, I didn't know, like you have to ask, like, do you guys do that? Do you euthanize? And they were like, yes, come in immediately. So we went to your vet care on the Upper East Side and they were really amazing. And it was just like a pretty

place you know it's like very cute and blue and as sad as it was I felt like when we were told to put him down two weeks ago at the hospital like the hospital was so depressing and and I just don't think that was like a good place for Theo to go and I think this place like it was just like prettier and everyone was so nice and I have no like the only thing that brought me peace and that continues to bring me peace is I know I did the right thing of course like his time was up and I felt like I kept him home and I kept him comfortable for as long as I could but I don't think he was comfortable anymore and that's not fair and it just like dawned on me that we've been like you you know, weekend at Bernie-ing him a little bit,

which is exactly what I said I didn't want to do. Like he was only eating because we were giving him an appetite stimulant. He wasn't walking. He was only shitting because we were giving him laxatives. He was wearing diapers. Like it's not a way to live. For sure. But when you first set out to do that, it was just to get him into treatment.

So then he could go on to live life. But I think it was becoming clear that like it would always be like this. And that's when you've decided to make the decision. So yeah, we were just thinking like, okay, yeah, radiation might work, but it probably won't. And even if it does, it's not going to give him much more time. And given the rate that things were going, it wasn't making him more comfortable. So I know I did the right thing.

And when I walked in there, like we weren't sure what we were going to do but we we left the house and we were like this is a real possibility so we need to just like start thinking that way and when I walked out of the house I'm carrying Theo and we're walking across the street and it's snowing and I texted you and I was like oh my god it's snowing like what does that mean I wasn't sure if it was a sign like to keep going or that this was the end like I wasn't sure but I knew it meant something and you said I was like it's snowing what does it mean and you said it means that Theo got to see the snow before Christmas and that really in that moment like I knew I knew what we were gonna do um so we did and then and

then when you left it was no longer snowing. Yeah. No, like I, I know I made the right decision and that's like the only thing that brings me peace. Like I have no regrets about how the whole situation unfolded. So he got to come home and he got to be with us and he, I got more time with him and he got more time with us. But towards like the last two, three days, like he wasn't there.

Like, I don't even think he knew where he was like so I know I made the right decision and that's that brings me peace yeah and I do think the last few weeks he was in heaven with you guys in bed watching Gossip Girl yeah eating everything he finally got to eat whatever he had an insomnia cookie like he was living life it was so hard like he got to see the tree he got to be in a stroller yeah no it's it's true and there's just like so many questions they ask you like i don't know you know like what like first of all what do you want to do with the remains and they like brought me this like list of options and I literally called my rabbi because I'm like we don't do this like cremating and he was like you know there's nothing in the halacha about like pet remains like do whatever you want whatever makes you happy

I don't know just like cremation is so inherently not Jewish and I just I wasn't pulled to that at all so I didn't do it um and then also like do you want to be in the room and I didn't want to and Ben was like I don't want Theo to be alone and the doctor his name was Dr. Mendez he was he had the best disposition like of all the doctors I've seen this entire journey like he was he made me feel so much better like having bedside manner is so important like it really is and he was so smart and he was just like this is this is what I did with my dog this is what other people do like he was just very level-headed about the whole situation and he was like really gentle with

Theo so we ended up staying in the room there's basically like two things that they do to put a dog down the first is like they give them human grade anesthetic and the doctor was like up until that point like he'll be able to see and hear you. But once we put this in, like he's completely unconscious. And then they do the second drug, which is, you know, the final nail in the coffin, if you will. Um, so we, we stayed for him to get the anesthetic and his eyes just completely glazed over and his stomach like wasn't moving. And I was like, okay, that like, that was enough for me. it like freaked me out a little bit um and so we left and I just I really wanted to get it over with like I kept wishing Theo would just like take his own last breath so I didn't have to be the one to

make the decision because it's so sad it's so sad and it's really hard it's a hard choice to make yeah but I know I made the right decision like I keep saying that because I know I did yeah and I just kept thinking like I've just been like when we got home there was like already like bagels flowers food like everything and I know that there are people who like you know put their dogs down and their dogs are their whole life and they don't have other people around them and so I'm just trying to like really focus on how lucky we are to have given him like the best care I could have given like I literally spent how lucky we are to have given him like the best care I could have given. Like I literally spent every dollar I had to keep him comfortable. Like the fact that I was able to do that.

I'm so lucky. The fact that I have people in my life who care about me, who cared about Theo, people who met him, people who didn't meet him. Like literally like reading the comments on my Instagram like made me cry. But it's just like thousands. Who can say that? He touched thousands of people. And thousands who can say that he touched thousands of people and not everyone can say that so I'm really just trying to focus on how really lucky I am and just like not focus on like the last couple of months but really focus on like Theo's whole life like

I think people are like why are you guys so obsessed with Cavaliers? And we had one growing up. And when our parents got divorced, we, um, we like lost the dog and the divorce and then our dad passed away. And so like, we really never got closure with the childhood dog that we loved so much. And years later, whenever I would see like a Cavalier on the street, it would just like, it means so much to me. And it was like so much and years later whenever I would see like a cavalier on the street it would just like it means so much to me and it was like so much nostalgia and like our childhood and I remember when I was getting married I like realized that I have free will and I'm like an adult and I can do stuff so I got a cavalier and it was like this happy and it made our whole family so happy and we got Bruno and we got Magnolia and like he just started this whole love affair for our family and he

like I know he like he served his purpose and I wish I got more time and I do feel really robbed to have only gotten six years. It's so unfair. And I'm really trying not to like enter that stage of grief where I'm just angry. Because like it's so unfair. But it's okay. I want to get another dog. My house feels sad.

When we got home, we just like immediately got rid of everything. Because like Theo was like he was always everywhere but especially in like the recent weeks he required so many more things like meds and diapers and I just threw it all out because if I had to see it I know it would like really trigger me um so I'm okay like I really I am okay you do seem measured like and I'm sad I'm sad not a basket case it means you have every right to be when I'm distracted like I really can't be on my phone because people are being so nice but like it's really like it's making me really I'm sure it's a lot even I'm getting so many messages yeah I'm just an empty so like I'm okay I really am like as long as I'm distracted like I'm okay. I really am. Like, as long as I'm distracted, like, I'm fine.

Well, that's what the toast does, distracts. But I do also feel like we have to honor our boy. He's the third co-host. Everyone says, who would be the co-host if one of you dropped out? Like, it would have been Theo. No. He came to work every day. He showed up to work every day with a smile on his face.

Yeah. No, we built this brand, brand like off of Theo's back. Theo was there for you in the cancellation. No, he really was, by the way. Like when I think about how many things I've been through, like with Theo, he was so receptive to like my emotions. Like he always knew when to behave. And like he was really, I remember him being like so emotionally supportive for me when I got canceled.

Like Theo's been with me through so much through highs and lows and you know what when he went out on a high and he went out on a high I didn't like I did I don't like I do need him but like I don't need him right now you know he got you to a great place yeah where like I'm really happy I was like in the tub yesterday I can't get like the tub is really depressing for me but like I was really smelly like covered in poop and I got out and I was just like looking at myself in the mirror and I'm like so mad at myself because I finally feel like I'm at like a really good like physically healthy place where I can do more with Theo like Ben was always the one like doing the physical stuff like I was the bed mom and Ben was the the walk mom dad and I like feel so guilty that like I finally got to a place where like I can do more things Like I was the bed mom and Ben was the walk mom. The park mom.

And I feel so guilty that I finally got to a place where I can do more things with him. And now I can't even do them. Well, on the other side of it, he also is a lap dog. And most parts of him just wanted to lay in bed with his mama all day. And his mama provided. And that's what he did. The company is fed. The best television. Yeah. The best scratchies i'm okay i just honestly like i can't listen to music i find it so triggering

i understand that like love you anyway by luke combs like seriously give me a bridge you have to boycott the whole album yeah because you know what this one's for do so part of the lore every part of how I speak is I know coded I know I do think the timing is like good I need a few days so like it being the weekend is really helpful but then also like our end of year break coming up like I need some time and I'm excited we're all going away together and I can like be with other people um and then I will I will get another dog like for real I'm excited me too we'll look to the future that's what you would want for you I know I know so I'm okay I really am because it's it's not so fresh in the sense I don't feel like day one. It feels like day 14. Yeah.

Because it is. Right. As it is, you had like time to come around to the idea as much as you could and prepare yourself as much as you could. Yeah. But still, it's, I don't know, yesterday was like so different. It felt so different. Like when you said that you were really thinking, like it really hadn't hit me.

I've just been in denial. Me too. You know what? I was actually getting a hit me. I've just been in denial. Me too. You know what? I was actually getting a manicure. I got a turdy cure. I got the turdy special. You know what song was playing when it was this time in the salon? When You Believe, Pentatonix version.

Oh my God, chills. Because you know what song was playing? At the vet, they were like, you can take as much time as you need and just let us know when you're ready and so when we were taking that time it was so depressing stay with me by sam smith and like oh won't you yeah it was they should curate the playlist a little better just saying i was like you're kidding me they need kelly clarkson yeah christmas tunes. Christmas tunes. I cracked out the Christmas playlist last night.

Yeah. So music is like a very sensitive point for me. I will not be listening. Even though I think I'm going to go to a concert tonight. I just like, whenever I'm doing stuff, I am okay. What concert?

It's Jingle Ball. So it's like a medley of concerts. And Olivia Rodrigo's playing and Ben wants to go. And I think, I think I should. Olivia Rodrigo's playing and Ben wants to go. And I think I should. Olivia Rodrigo's playing and Ben wants to go. Classic. Yeah. That'll be fun.

Yeah, no. Just the two of you? No, I'm going to go with a couple people. Snitch, the Taylors. You know who goes to Jingle Ball every year? Dana? Dana. Does she?

She loves Jingle Ball. Oh my God. I'm going to text her. Jingle Ball is so middle school coded. Dana is middle school. Dana is stuck in a time warp where she's a middle schooler. That's so funny. Going through life as a 31-year-old woman.

No, that's so true. I literally knew what you were going to say. That's so funny. She doesn't miss a year of Jingle Ball. She doesn't make a big thing of it. I wouldn't be surprised if she goes by herself sometimes well you know what I'm glad I'm going then so she has someone to go with she would love an invite okay I'll text her that's so funny okay so you're just like teeny bopping your way through life tonight yeah I just want to be

distracted and that's what I will be doing that's what we will be doing today. How are you doing? I know do meant a lot to you. Do meant so much to me. But I don't want to make it about me. No you can. It's okay. Like I'm like it makes me feel good that like so many people like loved this thing that I brought to them you know. It's just there was a time when he was my first and only nibbling. I know. And he taught me how to be an auntie. And I remember when Kayla was being born and Theo was the only other nibbling. And I was like, I don't know how I could love a baby more than I love Theo. I know.

But he expanded my heart. I know. And showed me how to be an auntie and made me a proud auntie. Yeah. And really, like, I mean, you didn't become an auntie until after until kayla but it's been such a blessing and when he used to stay by me and i used to wash his paws after every single walk because i was a nutcase and at one time i gave him a whole bath so he could sleep in bed with me and watch yellowstone and then you came and picked him up yeah um

when i wanted him to stay. I remember. And we just, so many good, so many good times. Such a sweet soul. It's so crazy. Like the last time him and Brute were together, if you had told me. I know. This is the last time they would be, that would have been like in, right before I came back to Florida. I wouldn't, I would be like, what?

I know. It's the craziest thing. it's the craziest thing it's the craziest thing and I have my do pillow that I'm looking at I'm not getting rid of it the brew pillow is like actually really triggering me I know I have to like keep brew off of FaceTime yeah like Bruno go in the corner brew not now Bruno go go hide from auntie it's not your time but no bruno is bruno's grieving um i know and also it's like all the kids love theo i know mckayla loves theo harry loves fa like do we tell them no harry i don't i think he's young enough that he won't realize let's see what happens next time we're at your apartment, like if he's asking. But right now he doesn't ask for Fa, so he might forget.

I wouldn't tell him anything. I'd just be like, who, what, where, when, why? Gaslight the shit out of him. And then you'll have a new dog and be like, it's Fa. Fa, yeah. And since it's a nickname, it's fine. Yeah. I'd really want to get on getting another dog.

Like my house feels meaningless. Empty. Quiet. I got rid of everything except the crate. I do think I like I'm going to get it. I know I'm going to get another dog. So you should. Yeah.

Boy or girl? Boy. Boy mama? Yeah. Great. Well, we will never stop talking about do. We couldn't if we tried. Here, the best side story is that you do,

that you need to, like everything is coded. Yeah. So I'm really looking forward to like talking about anything else. Okay. I'm on it. Because we didn't do a show yesterday, which I apologize for,

we hopefully have lots of good stories worth discussing. I thought like double the stories, double the fun. No, no. Still pretty much crap, but it will be a great show. That's what Du would want, not to keep bringing him up because we are going to distract. But it's also Hanukkah. It is.

Last night was the first night of Hanukkah, which also felt meaningful in some way. As night was the first night of Hanukkah, which also felt. Meaningful. Meaningful in some way. As Theo was a light. Yeah, definitely. And he shined bright. So I thought that was meaningful too. Not, there's no coincidences. No, no, there's not.

So happy Hanukkah to everyone who celebrates. I hope that you had a great first night getting good gifts, giving good gifts. Happy Hanukkah to you, Turdi. Thank you. Happy Hanukkah to you as well. Chag Sameach. Chag Sameach. Neskajol Hayasham. Publicize the nays, everyone. But now that I live in an apartment that's not a bunker, I can publicize the nays. Beautiful. Beautiful. Okay, so without further ado. Oh, I just want to say one more thing of course there were like so many people I wanted to tell you know um that Theo was no longer with us um because Theo kind of had like a a big social circle he did and so many just like one thing in particular like really broke me I sent it to you guys um you know Theo's

dog walking crew is such an integral part of his day and he loved it so much and he loved Jonathan who was the actual walker along with the crew butter mystery olives so I'd been keeping him updated because Theo obviously wasn't going on the walks recently and I texted him yesterday just letting him know like Theo's no longer with us and he was really upset um and he said it was his pleasure to be let me just read it because I don't want to butcher it it was so sweet heartbreaking news it was my pleasure to be his friend and walker and that really made me upset because theo loved him so much those were definitely the highlights of his day totally i hope butters is okay i don't know i'm kidding i'm totally kidding i'm just like jealous like when i like when i see like i'm in my bitter

resentful stage okay that means you're traveling through the grief. No, like whenever I see someone's dog on the street, I just want to go up to the owner and shake them. Like don't take his health for granted. Well, you'll be glad to know as we speak, Bruno is at the vet. Oh, good, good, good, good. Because I also, there were so many people who were so helpful.

And like, I will thank all of them properly. But one of them was Theo's vet his whole life, Dr. Lisa, who has just been like, of course, checking checking in but then also helping us find different specialists and whatever and she's gonna um text you about what sort of screenings because hopefully this isn't genetic but if it is you know they're all from the same breeder and it might be an issue down the line so different cancer screwed no you're not screwed because you have the one thing I didn't have which was like knowledge and preparation yeah and she's gonna text you about different things that you and Margo should be doing and screening for there's a lot of really good like cancer screenings for dogs okay well

he's there as we speak good good take your dogs to the vets yeah and the one thing I've learned that I would like to pass on and this is what I was saying to Ben this whole thing started because Theo like wasn't jumping up and it appeared like he had some leg pain and to me I was just like that's so okay like what's worst case scenario his leg is broken okay we'll put him in a cast like I thought it was so um innocuous innocuous I didn't know that like a limp is really the first sign of something bad like it's more often than not a tumor or a mass or an obstruction of some sort like I didn't know that I thought it was like oh his toe is broken he's being lazy yes like Like I didn't know that. I thought it was like, Oh, his toe is broken. He's being lazy.

Yes. Like I, I really didn't know that it was like an initial sign of something bad. So don't be cavalier for lack of a better word about it. Thank you. I think a lot of people are like Jews memory. He's an educator as well. He's because he was a doctor.

Don't forget. He was a doctor and he's a public figure and he's leaving behind lessons for everyone else yeah dr theodore fechemin rip rip thea rip i can't believe i'd be saying that about yeah but no i said to you yesterday like not to you but like when his time came like rest in peace, my sweet angel. And like I meant every word of RIP. Of the acronym. I meant every, but the thing is, I didn't say RIP.

No, because you have respect for the dead. Right, like rest in peace. It's a lovely saying to say. That's all you could wish for anyone, to rest in peace. Yeah. Why you gotta say RIP? Why you gotta be so rip? Oh, do we have a story about rip today?

We actually don't, but that would have been a yesterday story and I'm gonna put it in because- Yeah, there's like some drama with rip from Yellowstone and the creator of Yellowstone. Yellowstone is just falling apart at the seams. The wheels are coming off of Yellowstone and I'm adding that because I had one story

I didn't particularly care about. So that's perfect. So while you do that, why don't I do my thing? Without further ado, do about do, do, do, do, do. We will remain do strong forever.

And she's making it everyone's problem. So she appears to confirm that she's dating Benny Blanco. She said he is my absolute everything amongst other things.

So a Selina fan account posted a photo of Selina and Benny Blanco, who is a music producer. And she said he is my absolute everything in my heart. And then she started replying to some fans who I guess were. Right. Like the news here for me is not that Selena has a new man. Good for her. Who cares?

The behavior in which she behaved last night on social media was so deeply unhinged and unwell. And then she, of course, after like, you know, setting the whole thing, comment section. She's taking a break. Then she said, I'm getting off Instagram till my nextwell. And then she, of course, after like, you know, setting the whole thing, comment section. She's taking a break. Then she said, I'm getting off Instagram till my next project. And then what, 25 minutes later, she's resharing like Wizards of Waverly Place stuff

on her stories and wishing Ashley Benson a mazel tov on her baby. Like, I don't know what's going on, but somebody has to take her phone away. Yeah. So she said, he's absolutely everything in my heart. Also the idea that like she's commenting on Selena fan accounts and with like breaking news.

No, this just isn't the behavior of the world's biggest pop star billionaire queen. Like, what are you doing? Yeah. Then she started replying to people saying, I don't know what their comments were, but this at- Their comments, people were like,

people are not happy that she's dating him. He had been quoted like six years ago because he produced the song lonely with Justin Bieber he had like said something in an interview while promoting the song that like you know she was a cookie cutter pop queen who just makes makeup or something like he has been you know shady in the past okay so this she said to one fan then why has he been the best thing that's ever happened to me the end and then to another fan yeah and he's still better than anyone I've ever been with facts and then to another fan I don't understand if you actually care about me this is my happiest if you don't feel free to say whatever you want but I will never allow your words to guide my life ever I'm done if you can't

accept me at my happiest then don't be in my life at all. So I feel like this is really like emblematic of fan culture and how you should always be grateful for your fans and, you know, be thanking them and whatever. But when you like start to get in the weeds and like becoming so accessible, I don't know. I think this is dangerous. But it doesn't sound like she's talking to like fans. I don't know. People who are commenting on like Selena fan pages. Those are Selena fans.

I don't know. I think they've just like gotten sucked in. To like stan. This Jelena stan culture. They don't even know what they believe anymore. And if they are Jelena Stans, not Selena Stans, then Selena being with someone else goes against their Jelena core tenants. It goes against their constitution.

Right. It's just like how they treat Justin when he's with Haley. It's how they treat Selena when she has a new man. It's actually really toxic. She can't move on. The Jelena Stans won't let her move on either. Yeah, yeah. But it's just like this vicious cycle of Selena Gomez. Like remember when she made like the war in Gaza about her? Like she really has very bad social media practices. And I think she's one of these people who clearly runs her own social

media and probably shouldn't. No, but she's one of these people who actually doesn't run her own social media, I feel, but you can tell when she got her phone back. Oh, that's actually fair. The things that's posted on her grid are pretty curated and not too much detail, just a little drop. But she's also the most followed woman on Instagram, so she's got to give the people something. And then every few weeks she like steals her phone yeah you can tell Selena's back yeah yeah um what a weird series of events a series of unfortunate

events the comments are just beyond strange and it's just not how someone as famous as Selena Gomez should be acting publicly agreed Let's talk about the coupling. Yeah, like whatever. Do you think like he could be the one? No. Like, I don't know. I don't find Selena's dating life. Like, I do find Selena's dating life very interesting,

and I just think this is like a fling. And maybe we wouldn't even be talking about it if it weren't for these insane comments even though she's the happiest she's ever been he's better than anyone she's ever been with facts well every time you're with someone new you should feel that way right otherwise like go back to the other person that made you happier right otherwise it's like it's not worth pursuing yeah true no I don't think that hopefully they make some music together because he's, you know, obviously one of the greatest producers of our time.

Is he? Yeah, he's like, he's done everything. Yeah, his name is so familiar. I actually thought he was an artist himself. He might be. Like a singer. Let's see if he has Spotify. Actually, no, I don't think that he is.

He's just, he's on every popular song of the last 20 years. That's great. He's major. Yeah that he is he's just he's on every popular song of the last 20 years that's great he's major yeah he is major no like everything is like with yeah yeah he's always collabing he was I think he was a main character on that show Dave because he looks like him no he played himself. But Dave is... What's that? Little Dickie. He looks like him. They both just have curly hair, and I believe they're both Jewish.

So he wasn't a stunt double? No. He's four feet tall. Okay. Well, congrats to the happy couple. Stay off Instagram. Period. Period. Are you ready for our next no cap no no sorry that wasn't how you use cap sorry no no cap is no that was right stay off instagram no cap

stay off instagram bet the way that i feel about using cap is like not the right way. Cause I would want to say, stay off Instagram cap, like period. No, no, no, no. Put a lid on it. No,

for sure. I kind of like that. I just want to say like, everybody's making up arbitrary definitions to these words. Like they're not really rooted, not like coming from Latin. So why can't I make my own shit up too? Fine.

Cap. Stay off Instagram cap. Well, why are you putting like a question mark i um i undermined myself you mean when you say cap like put a lid on it like done period yes thank you i kind of like that definition like like a physical cap we're gonna put a cap on that we're done twist it put it away throw it up give birth to it put it in a blender and to put a cap on that. We're done. Twist it. Put it away. Throw it up. Give birth to it. Put it in a blender.

And then put a cap on that and put it away. And we're done. Cap. Period. Our next story is a little more romantic news. Okay. Kevin Costner and Jewel have sparked dating rumors with cozy pics after his divorce. And Luanda Lesseps is crying tears of sadness.

I was going to say something rude, but I'm not going to. Say it. No, it's mean. And it's not what you would think. Okay, but I just want to say it should have been Luann. But I feel like it still could be Luann. Yeah, Luann and Jewel are not it still could be Luann. Yeah. Luann and Jewel are not that different.

No. And also like. I wouldn't want to be the woman right after the long-term marriage divorce. Like. So true. Luann's waiting in the wings. Yeah. No,

this one's clearly a rebound and Luann is OTP. Luann is the final destination. Agreed. Also like her response when someone asked like, who would you want to date? And she said, Kevin Costner. Like, I feel like he's not what people typically say you know everyone's like Brad Pitt yeah yeah but like he's up he's just as great as those guys no and the fact that I know we're joking but he's and like might be dating Jewel is so age-appropriate and he obviously he could

have and he might have done like an 18 year old like disgusting like everyone else in Hollywood but he's really I know we talk shit because he's like ruining Yellowstone and I think he's probably one of the meanest people on the planet like if I had to guess yes he's a family man he's respectable you know dating someone of a certain age and the bar is so low for men in Hollywood that I have respect for this so Kevin Costner sparked romance rumors with Jewel when TMZ obtained photos of her speaking into a microphone as Kevin wrapped his arms around her waist. The duo were in the British Virgin Islands for a week last month as part of a tennis fundraiser for Jewel's inspiring children foundation. There was definitely something going on a source told the outlet they were flirty and when they were together it was like they both just lit up.

Okay I want to see something crazy controversial like in my mind Jewel and Sheryl Crow are the same person okay for me it's yeah it's Jewel Sheryl Crow like Leanne Rimes Leanne Womack okay no so for me Leanne Rimes is in her own category because of Brandi Glanville that's the only reason why she like breaks through and Leanne Womack like I don't even know what she looks like physically I just know she sings that song from Love is Blind so like I really like Jewel and Sheryl Crow these like 90s guitar blonde gals like they're just the same to me I know but Sheryl Crow like is a little more distinct to me because she's more country no she just has like more pervasive hits yeah I agree what does Jewel sing really good songs let

me find them hold on like I don't know Jewel and you know we should look at related artists because like those are also the people yeah that I lump in the same group and I'm sure for some like Jewel Stans this is absolute blasphemy and like I respect that it's just my experience that's my opinion okay um like none of her top five songs are resonating okay but i do think she was also a little bit like at her peak before our time agreed but like we know cheryl crow songs what's like cheryl's crow i'm gonna soak up the sun and also what's that one with um kid rock that's like oh it's like a photograph classic photograph karaoke song sing it look at Jackie, are you kidding me? No, no.

That's Nickelback. Are you okay? No, no, no. Oh, all I want to do is have some fun. Yeah, but no. What's the one with... If it makes you happy. But that's still not the one.

What's the classic karaoke song with Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow I don't know but then the other Sheryl Crow song is one about God sing it picture picture I put you picture I just want to say me saying photograph when it's actually picture oh oh yeah I'm not losing my mind no you're not and honestly I think we need to start putting more respect on Sheryl Crow's name. I never think about her as like a musical influence of mine, but I think she might be. Okay. And I have another crazy thing to say about Sheryl Crow. What's the song about God?

Like how God is like on the subway? No, if God, something about the bus. It's like a classic song. Yeah, God's on the bus. Yeah, wait. No, wait. Hold on. Don't tell me. It's like a classic song. Yeah, God's on the bus. Yeah, wait. No, wait. Hold on. Don't tell me.

If God were a... I'm trying to find it. Sheryl Crow God song. No, no. Like if God were a man. Yeah, no. And if God were like on the subway with me. No, on the bus.

If God were on the bus. It's like a classic, I feel like, song. Like a hymn almost, that she recorded. Hold on. This is infuriating. Yeah, wait, hold on. I'm going to find it. Sheryl Crow, All the Hits.

The first cut is the deepest. Sheryl Crow, God Bus Song. Claudia, I already searched that. You did? Yeah. No, what's this? What if god was one of us just a stranger one of us wow why was it so hard to find okay but also i don't know if cheryl did that song because i looked it up and it's a woman named Joan Osborne. But why do we both think it's Sheryl Crow? Did Sheryl Crow sing the song What If God Was One of Us?

One of Us is a song written by Eric Brazilian, performed by Joan Osborne, not Sheryl Crow. Alanis Morissette has also been incorrectly been rumored to be the singer of this song, but she never recorded it. Joan Osborne did. You know who Sheryl Crow also is similar similar to but you have to just zoom out of the situation who like think of if an alien came down to earth and these two women were standing next to each other like they would think they were twins who Cheryl Crowe and Sarah Jessica Parker

oh physically yeah but not career no not career wise, you know, if SJP was having a bad day, like Sheryl Crow could play Carrie Bradshaw. Yeah. Yeah. Is what I'm saying. Yeah. So what was the story? Oh, so Jewel is dating, like love, love.

Hopefully he'll become so happy with her. He'll want to get back to fucking work. Yeah. Well, if he goes back to work, it might be a toxic work environment because our next story- It's gonna be hostile. Is that Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan

has sued Kohlhauser's coffee company. A legal battle is brewing between the creator of Yellowstone and one of its stars. So Taylor Sheridan is the showrunner. Kohlhauser is Rip. And Taylor Sheridan's boss, Granch, filed a lawsuit against Ripips coffee company free reign

in the northern district of texas on november 21st in the court filing obtained by people it accuses free reign of trademark infringement unfair competition and false advertising noting that both companies use branding marks with two overlapping letters letters the lawsuit alleges neither hauser nor the defendants asked to receive permission or authorization of Sheridan or Boss Grants to use a mark confusingly similar to the BR brand for virtually identical goods. People reached out to Free Reign for comment Wednesday but did not receive an immediate response.

So Taylor Sheridan's company is also coffee? I guess so. It's called Boss Grants Craft Coffee. I want to say I will defend rip till theI.P. till the day I rip. However, the logos are extremely similar. Yeah, that's kind of weird. I thought at first that the lawsuit was going to be like Cole Hauser is kind of marketing his character

of Yellowstone, which was written by Taylor Sheridan. You know, like. That would be a stretch. This is weird. And like, why coffee? It's weird because I feel like it's very easy to make Taylor Sheridan the um the villain but honestly I kind of feel him in a legal sense like I might do the same thing no this is weird like the fact that he did a coffee when Taylor

Sheridan has a coffee is a little like just unnecessary but then the logos like really are similar yeah and the branding vibes of both the companies are gonna be similar like Yellowstone Wild West so same product same branding honestly it's good grounds for a legal fight it is what about the show does anybody care about this show anymore no no no I'm sorry the viewers care deeply does anybody working on the show give a rip want to give us a show no and this is just another thing like bringing us even further from a possible reunion and getting back to work but rip should be in the next iteration of Yellowstone I think it's called like 2024 or whatever with Matthew McConaughey allegedly yeah and so any future work between Tyler I always just

want to call her him Tyler Taylor Sheridan and rip seems now even less of a possibility which is devastating so whose side are you on I'm always going to be on the side of rip but I'm not a judge and if I was a judge I think I'd side with Taylor yeah and even if legally this has no merit if I was Taylor Sheridan like I would be annoyed on a personal level at this guy who I made famous off of my vibe. And he then takes my vibe and creates the same product as me. Yeah. It's, you know what? Like, it's not cool.

Yeah. It's weird. That's why I feel like there's more to the story. Like, maybe they wanted to start the coffee company together and then Taylor Sheridan kicked Rip out and was like, fuck you, I'm gonna do this myself. And so then Cole, maybe he came up with the original logo and he was like, I'm gonna do mine myself and so then Cole maybe he came up with the original logo and he was like I'm gonna do mine it kind of reminds me of like Juliet and

Kelsey from Siesta Key both having a bikini line but they would have been stronger together even though Juliet's bathing suit line is doing really well yeah but yeah better together yeah this is so bizarre so bizarre I just feel like there's more to the story even though legally it looks like Taylor has a slam dunk on his hands yeah there's more to this story people don't just like do stuff like this you're right like I can't imagine Cole Hauser would go to all this trouble to create this brand and it's like a legit brand I keep getting emails like from press releases and wanting to send me gifting it's like legit I can't imagine he would go to all this trouble knowing it was like stolen.

Unless he had, you know, a good reason. Yeah. Also, can we talk about the fact that I'm wearing, what do we call them? Big blue jeans? What are they? Big pants? Yeah, like what do we call it?

Big baggy jeans? Big baggy pants? I finally found a pair of jeans that like I kind of like. These are from Madewell. But can we talk about something that nobody talks about with jeans? Like the circulation to your vagina being cut off? Like I'm in pain. Yeah, I think maybe uncross.

Yeah, definitely uncross. But I'm like a lady. I sit like a lady. But between my underwear and this like tight crotch. And by the way, don't be like get a bigger pair. No, they fit really well. Yeah. Don't come for me. No, super super cool jeans today I'm dressed like turdy Jackie's wearing my exact outfit I told you I've been telling everyone stop sleeping on loft I got a set from loft I got a bounty from loft yesterday I was wearing a super cute outfit before

we um sorry decided not to do the show and I was actually thinking about just wearing it today but it's like I wanted to save it for vacation I feel like if I wear it again like I'm just ruining it so so I think I found a solution to our problem of like getting clothes for our vacation and then wearing them and for me like staining them before I even get a chance or like washing them shrinking them you know yeah no like the set that you're wearing I got like two weeks ago for our trip I've worn it five times Theo pooped on it like it's literally useless to me now um so I've every time I get something new that I ordered for our trip I'm putting it in a different bedroom now it's all folded and it'll be really easy to pack I that's out of sight out of mind but we also do a show every day where you like

want to wear something new cool and fresh so it's, why am I saving this to go wear on a couch somewhere when I'm on camera? No, it's so true. It's just. Maybe I'll take it out of the second bedroom. Yeah. And then bring it still. The set that I wore yesterday, I'm not going to wear it again before vacation. I'm glad I wore it yesterday, but now it's going straight to vacation.

Yeah. So maybe like a wear once policy is a little treat. Love that. Get it a little stretched out, you know it fits nice see how it moves you ever get like a hair in your lipstick of course we are women aren't we i'm just a girl we're real women um before we keep going you mind if i say something of course i was hoping that you would today's episode is brought to you by L'Oreal the new L'Oreal Paris bright reveal dark spot serum and broad spectrum SPF 50 daily lotion you got dark spots no you don't game over so dark spots are just a part of life and I'm realizing that as I get older we need to be protecting our skin with SPF every day under our makeup and on the you know off, off chance you get a dark spot, know how to treat them thanks to L'Oreal.

So a lot going on here. Taylor went out with Robert and Suki. Suki and Robert went out together.

Suki was bearing the bump. The three of them had a jolly good time. And then there's the added element of like, what about Taylor Lautner? You know, do you think that Taylor Swift was team Edward or team Jacob in her heyday I think now she's team Jacob I think she was team Edward because she's a romantic and and he reads poetry and like that's so Taylor yeah no she's team Edward for sure I know I say this every time but like I really am so happy for Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson despite my like insane jealousy and honestly like if it couldn't be me and time, but like I really am so happy for Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson, despite my like insane jealousy.

And honestly, like if it couldn't be me, and it can't, like I'm married and unavailable. So if it couldn't be me, like I'm really glad it's her. I think they're a really good match. And they've started, they really look alike to me in my mind. They look like siblings,

which I know is the makings of a good couple. Yeah, no, I'm just looking at some like couple-y pics of them. There aren't many, but when they are together, they're so cute and I think they're gonna last forever I hope they're gonna last forever they really are so cute they don't give us a lot since I said that I need to take it back otherwise because

I'm wrong about everything so I think it's not gonna last they're doomed they're no no no Claudia they're not gonna last don't worry yeah yeah yeah but I love them together they really publicly like they give us nothing we have very few moments of them I think like probably the biggest most public display of like affection that we have for them is from the most recent Met Gala where they looked so happy and they were so well dressed like I think these are two people who are just really in love I think so too and I love that I love love and so and now they're hanging out with Taylor do you know that they're all friends yes they went to Aris tour LA and I was like no way is Robert fucking Pattinson at the Aris tour the Aris tour to me is just like the antithesis of

everything Robert Pattinson like is because he's so like artistic alternative like mainstream sucks but that's just the vibe that I get I'm sure he loves Taylor's music you know so it's like he's in such mainstream things Twilight Batman it's true actually you're kind of like putting him in this box judging him yeah but maybe I really see him as Edward because like Edward wouldn't like Taylor Swift you know what know what I mean? I feel like Edward would get down. Oh, also, you know how our favorite statistic to share is like you had once read, they did like a roundup of all the richest fictional characters from books. Yes. In TV, movie, and books. And Carlisle was like number one.

He's worth like $45 billion. I saw TikTok. They like redid it. he's worth like 45 billion dollars I saw tiktok they like redid it and it's actually unfair because all of like the most rich fictional tv characters are mostly superheroes like if you take superheroes out then it's still carlisle okay but superheroes and super villains there was someone who was worth like way more there were two people worth way more than but bruce who I think is Batman yeah Robert Pattinson was on the list too he's worth nine billion interesting yeah that's one of my but if you take superheroes out of it which I don't know why you would but if you did Carlisle would be number one I Carlisle

Carlisle like growing up is realizing it's not team Edward or team Jacob it's team Carlisle one because he's so wealthy two he had such a good head on his shoulders yeah and like he's not that old because he's right no but he's still hot and you know what this is gonna be a spoiler alert for the final twilight movie so if you haven't seen it go away they really knew what they were doing when they like fake killed him off like they knew where we'd get the fans i remember like where i was who i was like i remember my stomach dropping i was literally in the east village i was an nyu student me and kristin went she had already seen it i think so she like watched me watch that i was gutted no like

floored and i remember what they were doing when they chose him i was just like the battles lost like we spoiler alert lost carlisle and then so for the way that it ended to be the way that like it was the perfect ending like i needed that so much for it to be tabula rasa it was really the perfect way to end that whole franchise like they really left no stone unturned there. And they knew what they were doing when they chose Carlisle to be the one who fake died. And then they also knew what they were doing, bringing him back. Bringing him back. You mean like wiping, like the battle never happened.

Right. Yeah. Wait, hold on. I hear music too. Yeah. Wait, hold on. I hear music too. Make me down, make me move like a freak. Is that coming from the street?

Mr. Mr. Sexo Beat. That person's listening to music really loud. Oh yeah, ooh yeah yeah, ooh yeah yeah, ooh yeah yeah. Like I could never listen to music that loud in my car because I'm like a person who cares about other people. No, and it's like I can't think when it's so loud. Let alone driving. I can't like see or drive.

Yeah. It needs to be at a even decibel. I've really been loving. I was like, what the hell is that? I've been driving a lot by the way. I feel like I haven't been telling everyone every time that I drive. Cause it's just like so casual for me. She's so regular.

I literally like drove into my golf cart yesterday um but but there was no mark left on either so it's like it didn't happen but I was being right extremely dumb nuts no not nuts because I'm not nuts at all I'm not a nuts person yeah you're not just dumb like does it ever get easier? It does. I just have to keep making these dumb mistakes. But most people make them at 16. Yeah. And I'm just, but also every time I do something really dumb,

it's also kind of a relief. It's like, oh, okay, I have one dumb thing done. Like, I feel like I have to get the dumb things out of my system, you know? Yeah. And you never know what they're going to be. You never know what they're gonna be you never know what they're gonna be are you okay I'm sorry I really like wasn't listening no I could tell it's becoming anything you just said it's kind of like happening more and more no it's not excuse me I've been dealing with a lot today I'll bring it up with you on a different day because I was was thinking about the O. Were you? Yeah.

You know you can like say that any time now when I have to shut up. But I was. I was. You want to share? No. Okay. I'll just. Cool. I'll just keep my personal anecdotes to myself for a while.

No, don't. Don't. Because they're listening. I just want to. That's true. Let me know. When does it get easier and how many dumb mistakes

do I have to make before I can drive with a clear conscience? It does get easier. Our fifth and final story, Turdy's Choice. Oh my God, my breath just smelled like Theo

because my breath kind of smells bad. I'm like smelling in my nose. Our fifth and final story was a Turdy's Choice. It's a Turdy's Choice, choice, choice. It's a Turdy's and final story was a turdy's choice. It's a turdy's choice, choice, choice. It's a turdy's choice. It's a turdy's choice.

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, choice. Da, da, da, da, da, da. Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha. At least we got you back to singing. Yeah. McDonald's is opening a new chain called Cosmix. Here are the locations and menu. McDonald's said it's opening a new chain called Cosmix

that will focus on coffee and other drinks, a step that is viewed as a challenge to Starbucks and Dunkin', as the fast food giant seeks to boost afternoon sales. They opened its first Cosmix location in Illinois on Thursday, with plans to open additional restaurants in 2024. What's on Cosmix menu? The chain will include new customizable drinks and McDonald's favorites like the Egg McMuffin, the CEO noted.

Let me say, I have a lot of thoughts on this and here's why I wanted to talk about it. I think this is brilliant. I actually really like the name and I like the branding and people love

Starbucks coffee and breakfast and they're always mad. It's literally in movies. Like, I didn't get here before 11. Oh, sorry. Sorry, sorry. McDonald's. People love their coffees. They love their breakfast and it's like limited. People get mad when they didn't get here before 11. Oh sorry. Sorry sorry. McDonald's.

People love their coffees. They love their breakfast. And it's like limited. People get mad when they can't get it after a certain time. It's in the movie Big Daddy. Like it's a part of the culture. So establishing a whole franchise to it when that is a proven success with like Starbucks and Dunkin is brilliant.

Also we're at a really interesting inflection point with Starbucks because I don't know if you know this but like Starbucks is being, I can never think of this word, not protested. Boycotted. Boycotted. Thank you. Starbucks is being boycotted. And it's so funny because if you ask like a Jewish person, like what their thoughts politically on Starbucks are, like they love Starbucks, but Starbucks like a million years

ago was like, we will never open franchises in Israel. And that's why the very popular chain Aroma exists because it started in Israel. It's their Starbucks version. Now it's all over the States. I've been to one in Canada. So like a pro Israel person would be like, fuck Starbucks. But pro Palestine people hate Starbucks

because during, in the aftermath of October 7th, a bunch of uh employees I think at like one location like wrote a letter and put up flags or whatever and Starbucks was like this is actually really insensitive after thousands of Jews were just killed in Israel like not now please it was like the Starbucks union or something yeah but it's like so pro-Israel people were mad about the Starbucks union writing this disgraceful letter so pro-Israel people are boycotting Starbucks because their employees harbor these views. And then the Starbucks corporate

kind of like shut down the letter. So pro-Palestine people are mad at Starbucks for shutting down letters. So like they've kind of have, they can only have people who are- No, so they have no fans. Who are not, who don't care about the conflict. Yeah, like I'm on TikTok and people are like,

like showing their support for Palestine by drinking a Dunkin'. Like, so Starbucks is having like a really, they're gonna get from all ends. No, for sure. people are like like showing their their support for Palestine by drinking a Dunkin like so Starbucks is having like a really if they're gonna get from all no for sure Zach used to like bring me um an egg bite from Starbucks because he likes to go to Starbucks and then that letter was circulated I'm like don't bring me Starbucks anymore and right no everyone has an issue with Starbucks like you know they tried to distance themselves from the letter but one the damage was done two those egg bites aren't filling and three I don't need the calories so it was best for me so I think this Cosmix launch is actually people

are literally looking for a new Starbucks McDonald's is also being protested by Free Palestine oh you're right because Israeli Starbucks Israeli McDonald's was giving free meals to Israelis and maybe ID maybe idea right in the wake of the war because even in London like some free Palestine person was freeing Palestine by um spray painting a bunch of rats and releasing them into McDonald's into a McDonald's so they're protesting McDonald's too damn well I do think this is a great idea that's what I was trying to say okay I think it's a great idea too, because I love food. I love beverages.

I love food and beverages. I like McDonald's a lot. And I just want to give some suggestions for things that I would like to see at Cosmix, if I may. On the menu. On the menu, because I'm not a,

you know, a sausage, egg and cheese type of girly, but there are two, one, we need egg bites. Starbucks has them on lock and McDonald's,

I think you could do it better. I really do. Egg bites. Two, the thing from Dunkin' that I love, those egg and cheese wraps, breakfast wraps. I need more breakfast options, low calorie, egg white, you know, egg white muffin, egg bites, egg white breakfast wraps, maybe a breakfast taco, breakfast burrito, little. Love. These are some things I could get behind. And of course, make the coffee tasty. So they released their menu.

Can you share? Oh, yes. Also, can we talk about what's going on at Panera? I don't know what's going on at Panera. Let's finish this thought first. Okay. The chain will include new customizable drinks, as we said. Also, make sure you get all sugar-free flavors.

You know, sugar-free vanilla, sugar-free ales and sugar and we could go hard with the sugar-free iced coffee yeah but is mcdonald's trying to become like a diet-y place mcdonald's is not known for i'm talking about my needs yeah no i know i also feel like dieting girlies like they love a customizable sugar-free beverage they do so i'm just telling you about like this sect but but there are other needs out there, but it seems like they also will have a churro frap, a s'mores cold brew. A what cold brew? S'mores.

Is it sugar-free? Oh my God. Who wants a s'mores cold brew, a 500 calorie drink to start the day? Not me. A lot of people. A lot of people. Not me.

Okay, a lot of people do um they'll also sell non-coffee beverages including a sour cherry energy burst yuck oh it kind of sounds like they're coming for sonic too for everyone even the name cosmix is kind of sonic it is blackberry mint green tea yum and a popping pear slush so it sounds like they're really coming for everyone. Claudia, they will also offer sweet and savory treats. These will include a spicy queso sandwich. Yum. A cheese sandwich?

A creamy avocado tomatillo sandwich. Love. Pretzel bites. Oh my God, they're coming for Sonic. Caramel fudge brownies. They are coming for all you bitches. So funny because everybody was like, this is them coming for Starbucks, Starbucks, Starbucks. It sounds more like they are coming for all you bitches so funny because everybody was like this is them coming for starbucks starbucks starbucks it sounds more like they're coming

for sonic they will also include customizations including popping boba wow flavor syrups just make sure they're sugar-free in there oh yeah and energy and vitamin c shots coming for arowana as well wait i think this is brilliant i really do i think it's brilliant too please open one in New York or Florida and Turdy and I will do a dedicated McBong to Cosmix we will we will oh they did say where they're opening next hold on let me just go back to that um the branding was so retro actually I loved like the way the aesthetic everything it looked really great it opened to the public on Thursday located off Weber Road in Bolingbrook, Illinois. And then they also have a Texas location as well.

McDonald's plans to open about 10,000 new stores worldwide by 2027. Also, so these are different like locations, physical locations than McDonald's. It's not just like the Cosmix menu. No, no, no. It's like a full different store. That's really crazy too. Because I feel like they could have just beefed up their breakfast at mcdonald's yeah no this is major it's major we're getting

like a major new fast food chain chain has the resources to be everywhere all at once and not have to like build up regionally first exactly now panera i don't know if you saw they released a new product it's like a charged lemonade like really caffeinated two people have died and that's unacceptable how much caffeine like a lot like i think it's caused heart failure for some people i want to just know like what levels of caffeine so panera caffeine beverage damn rip i know panera caffeine lemonade cited another wrongful death lawsuit. What? 390 milligrams of caffeine.

Whoa. Another Panera page listed it as 235 milligrams of caffeine, 74 grams of sugar. Damn. That's why I'm harping on the sugar-free, Turdy. 100%. It's a safety precaution yeah who knew 235 milligrams of caffeine is even is fatal it's like it's a lot of caffeine to drink all at once but to be fatal there's more to the story maybe there was pre-existing

there's more of this story there always is it's been a bad week for panera that's our show i feel better i'm glad what are you gonna have for lunch on a brighter note i've i've made some plans i don't want to go home like home is really depressing and i had literally canceled my entire week so i have like no work to do so i'm gonna go out to lunch we're gonna go well i guess don't tell me because if you're there yeah and then I'm gonna go shopping okay and I'm just gonna like you know I'm gonna spend my day on a girly day yeah maybe I'll get like a manicure or something I'm just gonna treat myself that's beautiful so thank you to everyone for listening and thank you for just all the lovely messages. Knowing that Theo touched so many people. And he got to meet so many people.
