excited about this merch shop. I'm so excited that it's Friday. It's going to be a great show.
And I'm even more excited because on yesterday's show, I did like probably one of the most annoying
things a human being could do and say like, oh my God, I have the craziest thing to tell you,
the biggest piece of gossip and then I said wait
no I can't say it it was embargoed but thankfully one of our stories today is the news that leaked
that leaked and then Claudia will share her perspective because I was there and what she
was what she would have said yesterday so that's really exciting we can button that up I know
people that was annoying itching I did get a few texts. So did I. What is it?
So did I.
Did you tell them?
Yes, I said I'll call you later
and then I forgot to call them.
That's so turdy.
That's so turdy.
It's the future.
She won't tell.
It's a phone call.
Yeah.
Oh, turd-a-loo.
Oh, it's just Friday.

It feels like a well-earned Friday. It was a very good, busy, productive week and I'm just so excited'm smiley turdy. Like it's Friday. It feels like a well-earned Friday.
It was a very good, busy, productive week.
And I'm just so excited to ease into the weekend.

It's Thanksgiving.
Oh my gosh.
I'm so excited for next week.
Just enter the chill zone, you know?
So next week's scheduling update.
There are shows Monday and Tuesday.
And then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, we are off for Thanksgiving.
I'm overjoyed I can't wait I don't even like Thanksgiving food but I love the Thanksgiving
vibes we have a lot I know that's like not what you want to hear some people want to show
every day but we have good news too the good news is that next week we will have Patreon episodes
on the days that we are out and today we have a new Patreon episode that just dropped yesterday

And we're answering them.
So many great questions.
So many great conversations. We're going to do a part two because we have 1 million more questions that
are pertinent to the situation.
So that will be forthcoming next week.
And next week we are also doing our annual Patreon episode,
which is the fast five
stories that you need to know for the thanksgiving table so we're choosing five like world news
stories that people are going to be talking about at thanksgiving we're going to break it down for
you as best we can and then we're also going to give you a hot take to bring to the table yeah
start some trouble that that is one of our favorite episodes to do and most productive yeah no and
also i find myself learning so much during that episode
because, you know, I very much like to, you know, keep to myself.
I like to just, you know, engage with things
that I am naturally inclined to engage with.
And doing the Fast Five Thanksgiving annual every year,
I learned so much.
We were talking about this on Patreon how last year
we finally like read everything and learned and understood everything
about what was going on with FTX. and everyone was talking about it at the time and I had no fucking clue what these people
were talking about and then we did the episode and I really felt like a world leader I mean you
are yeah and so we will leave you after that episode feeling like a world leader so like
Jackie said even though there's no regular toast episodes next week if you're desperate for an
episode there will be one on the days one every day on the days that we are not in. So that's
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week. Monday, we've got the merch drop. Today, we've got a
gorgeous show. I mean, celebrate good times. Come on. Come on. Let's celebrate. Take your good times and your bad times too.
Sing them to fit.
We're going to have a party together with you.
And then.
Oh my.
Celebration.
Instead of celebrating, have a good time.
You're doing a lot of singing for like being on a show with a person who has kind of a perfect voice right now. It's Friday.
You're doing a lot of singing for like being on a show with a person who has kind of a perfect voice right now.
It's Friday.
And I can't help that the actual joy I feel over the fact that it's Friday is emulating
through my bones.
Oh, oh, oh.
Bless you.
It's coming through me and manifesting itself in song.
I won't apologize for that ever.
Okay.
Did you finish fourth?
I did finish fourth wing and I started Iron Flame
wow that's a fun thing to be able to do to just jump from one to the next what percent you're
probably further than me and I know no no like they just got back to Basquiat they haven't even
like walked through the doors they just landed got it yeah I'm 10 I was reading all night last
night I'm 10% like what is going on is really long the book is really long. The book is really long. And like the writing style is just very,
she doesn't spare any words.
Like they're all there.
Every word, every thought.
She used all of them.
She used all of them.
So, I mean, it's still good.
And I'm into it.
I'm into it.
I'm into it.
What else can I tell you about myself before we dive in?
Well, I could tell you that I'm rearranging my spice cabinet.
I don't know if you guys have seen, but I have bought, I've bought uniform spice jars.
And that is going to be my project this weekend, labeling.
I think it's for the best.
Like, I'm not one to judge, obviously, but you know, your spice rack was like kind of a dump.
How would you know?
We made a brisket together and I was in charge of spices.
That's true.
And what does your spice rack look like?
I mean, I just had the organizers come.
So like, it looks pretty good.
Do you have uniform spice?
I do.
Oh, hey, I'm not okay.
Am I getting sick?
I'll die.
You got, you need an Orton's antivirus.
What?
Oh, good one. Because my illness was contagious. You got You need an Orton's antivirus What? Oh
Good one
Because my illness was contagious
I do have a uniform spice rack
But I don't use it
Well I'm gonna be
Sifting spices all day today
Which is very
I like that sort of activity
It's like
Mind numbing
Calming
Yeah
As long as I can find the time to do it
But I think I
I will
So I'm really excited about that
And then I'm gonna cook a little dinner one pot what's for dinner tonight it's like a
chicken teriyaki bake oh that sounds fucking good I found the recipe on Instagram from the wooden
skillet I'll send it to you oh make Ben make it for you a chicken teriyaki I don't care if it's
baked fried roasted grilled or shoved up my vagina like i love chicken teriyaki and then the veggies and the rice are cooked in the one
pot with the chicken yeah and is the chicken like cut up is it breasts it's thigh i know you don't
love thigh thigh but like thigh i don't know what to do because i love a breast obviously but like you don't get the juice with a breast like why thigh no no dish ruined can you make it with white meat
i don't like dark meat on a chicken or on honestly anything i like a thigh the parts i could eat of
it which is like three bites because the rest is like crazy like skin and bones maybe i could make
a couple thighs a couple breasts because you do need the fat.
Like chicken breasts have no fat on them.
Oh, sorry.
I will not be making this dish.
Like a couple times I've tried to replace like a classic dish
instead of using thighs and legs, I've used breasts.
There's no flavor.
I refuse to believe that because I love a chicken breast.
No, Claudia, remember when I made you guys that World War II meal at my
house when my friends were here. Yes.
And it turned out so poorly because I only used chicken
breast and not the rest of the chicken.
I don't like it. It just had no flavor.
It was World War II food because
the flavors were rationed.
And it was like
meat and potatoes with no flavor. I don't care.
Like, no.
I was thinking of maybe throwing a couple breasts into the pot. Oh, I got two if you need. But you. I don't care. Like, no. I was thinking of maybe throwing a couple breasts into the pot.
Oh, I got two if you need.
But you know I don't like to deviate from the recipe.
Yeah.
So I'm struggling.
So sorry for you.
I've been through a lot, Turdy.
I've been through a lot.
But that won't stop you from spreading joy today.
Spreading holiday cheer.
You are the cheer meister.
I am.
I am. I am.
And
yeah.
All out of things to say.
Yeah, I like
She's speechless.
I ran out of compliments, you know.
That's okay.
It's true.
I won't let my personal
stresses and issues
affect the show ever.
Especially not this chicken debacle.
No.
It's all going to work out, Tony.
Yeah, so let me know how the OPD turns out.
I will.
I love an OPD.
And honestly, I'm just like itching to get to the stories so I can share my piece of gossip.
So you can make it about you.
I understand.
Oh my God, she's calling me out hard today.
No, I know.
Talking about my spices was hard.
No, I feel like me out hard today. No, I know. Talking about my spices was hard, but we did it.
No, I feel like I was extremely supportive.
No, and you were able to make it about you because you had been in my spice cabinet for the rest.
Right, right.
And I don't think, like, let's just talk really quickly.
I don't think, like, that's me making everything about myself.
Like, that's me being a part of your journey.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, no, but I think it's hard when I'm talking about something that, like, you're not a part of your journey. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. No, but I think it's hard when I'm talking about something
that like you're not a part of.
Yeah, no.
And I just think for like
the sake of the show,
like we should talk about things
that we're both a part of,
you know?
Oh, OK.
I'll make sure to hold
everything to that standard.
I think so.
OK.
So without further.
Yeah.
Adieu.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's time for the best five stories
that you need to know,
including Turdy's bit of tea. And the best five stories that you need to know, including Turdy's bit of tea.
And the best five stories that you need to know are brought to you by BetterHelp.
Thank you, BetterHelp, for sponsoring today's episode.
This time of year can be a lot, and it feels very natural to feel some sadness or anxiety
about it.
But adding something new and positive to your life can counteract some of those feelings.
Therapy can be a bright spot amid all of those stresses and changes, something to look forward
to to make you feel grounded
and to give you the tools to manage everything that's going on.
Like once I know that the traffic in New York is starting to get bad,
like I know holiday season is officially here
and holiday season for a lot of people can be very isolating,
can be very sad.
You can miss, you know, people who have passed.
You can feel sad for a multitude of reasons
and it's totally normal
and therapy is just a great way to balance those feelings.
And BetterHelp is just a fabulous resource because if you're thinking of starting
therapy, I really recommend giving BetterHelp a try. It's done entirely online. It's designed to
be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. You just fill out a brief questionnaire,
you get matched with a licensed therapist, and you can switch therapists anytime for no additional
charge. One of the, you know, annoying things about therapy is like the social awkwardness of
it. Sometimes you get, you meet a therapist and it therapy is like the social awkwardness of it.
Sometimes you get, you meet a therapist and it's just like not a good vibe. And it's very natural for you not to like your first, your second, or even your third therapist. Eventually you find
someone, but it can be so awkward, like calling, canceling the waiting room. It's just painful.
BetterHelp takes all of that away. BetterHelp is done entirely online. You can just like
communicate with your therapist in any mode that you feel comfortable with. So you could talk to
them on the phone. You could video chat with them. You can even text with them.
And it's just really accessible and really convenient.
I think a lot more convenient than in-person therapy.
And if you need to switch therapists, it's not a big deal.

me and Ben didn't share.
Oh wow. Cause there are some, I heard, I don't know which didn't share. Oh wow, because there are some,
I heard, I don't know which generator we did
for Secret Santa, but there are some generators.
That's what we used.
Okay, but there are some that will,
like you can make it so certain people can't get each other.
We didn't do that.
Hopefully no one got their spouse.
How are you feeling about who you got?
I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling good too.
I'm dying to know who got me
and like not to be weird like I really hope it's not one of the boys I just feel like they're not

someone good I mean I don't think there's anyone bad like but I got someone good yeah you know
what there really is no one bad because it's not about like the person or how you feel about them
it's like if they're able to receive a good gift yeah like if they have a personality like I could
think of something to get for everyone me Me too. It's very exciting.
We've never done a Secret Santa before.
I'm excited.
I'm really excited too.
I need to start Googling.
Yeah.
Okay, well, our first story is Turdy's Bit of Teen.
So Jewish stars Amy Schumer, Deborah Messing, and Sacha Baron Cohen,
among other celebrities and influencers such as Claudia Oshrae,
slammed TikTok for
allowing anti-Semitism to be rife across the platform, including...
We don't need to read the article.
Let me tell you what happened, okay?
Okay.
Well, the New York Times wrote up this thing that Turdi was wanting to tell you.
And then it was everywhere.
So now that somebody else snitched, I'm going to share my truth.
And this is what I was going to say yesterday.
Last night, two nights ago now, at six o'clock, I had been invited to join a Zoom call
where, you know, apparently some big people at TikTok were going to be listening to Jewish
celebrities and creators talk about their experience on the app thus far and like why
the situation is so dire. And it started out, you know, very nicely. And, you know, of course,
me, I'm like nosy. There was only like 15 celeb session influencers. So I was like looking at
everyone. Everybody had their cameras on. Like, let's say I saw Mrs. Amy Schumer's living room. I was like, that's a gorgeous room.
And there was somebody with their box turned off. And I was like, oh, I wonder who that is.
And the master of ceremonies, the way that the call was supposed to go was we'd hear from TikTok.
You know, they were saying they take this very seriously, yada, yada, yada. And then they wanted
to hear from some of the biggest creators. I'm not going to name anyone because I don't want to like put their, you know, whatever. But people gave really
powerful testimonies about how fucking horrible this last month has been for them. People ranging
from like ages 16 to 30. I heard stories about, you know, people's families getting doxxed.
I heard stories about, you know, Orthodox creators having gotten doxxed, their address being sent out
everywhere and receiving 10 deliveries a
day of like pork into their home. Like horrible, horrible things. And we all just were like
listening to everybody's testimonies. And then if you had something to say, you just wrote in the
chat. And I raised my hand and somebody else raised their hand at the same time, somebody with
their camera turned off. And so the leader of the call, this guy from TikTok was like, all right, let's go to the chat. Let's go to, the person's username
was SBC. And so when you raise your hand, you got brought to the top so everybody could see you. So
it was me in this blank box, not to make everything about me. No, literally how you're centering
yourself in this story. So SBC turns his camera on.
It's Sacha Baron Cohen.
I had no idea he was going to be on this call.
And he's the type of person who has immense power.
And TikTok doesn't affect his business.
So all the people on the call thus far who get most of their livelihood from TikTok,
they were being extremely respectful.
They're not trying to make themselves a target or piss off people at TikTok.
They were just being respectful and just trying to convey, you know, their sadness in an attempt
to make a change at TikTok. And Sacha Baron Cohen is not in the same bucket as most of the people.
And he just annihilated, you guys, I could not stop laughing. Like he was speaking fucking truths
and he was just basically saying, I understand why up until this point, everybody on this call
has been immensely respectful, but like, I don't give a fuck. I know how these things work. He has
an organization that like does things like this. And he's like, I've spoken to Mark Zuckerberg.
I've spoken to everyone important in every country and every tech company in the world.
I know that the issue that's going on in TikTok right now, spreading misinformation, boosting
anti-Semitism, I know that is fixed with the click of a button.
I know it's one thing.
And I know that you're not doing it.
So you can say, the guy from TikTok was like, oh, we're trying to do better.
He was like, that's bullshit.
He said, bullshit.
That's bullshit.
And then he asked the people from TikTok, what's your job?
What is your job here?
And it was like, you know, these fancy titles. And he he was like why isn't the CEO here like this is you're
not taking this seriously you're doing this to appease people you're doing this for public
perception you have blood on your hands this is the worst anti-semitic propaganda movement since
the Nazis spitting facts so hard and he was like talking and then he turned his attention to all
the creators being like there is power in you protesting TikTok.
Like, stop posting on there.
Tell all your big friends to stop posting on there.
I know it's your livelihood.
I know it is.
And I have empathy for that.
But there is power in stopping promoting these types of apps.
He just went on and on.
Everybody's stunned.
And then he just hangs up.
King.
Oh, my God.
It was the most, like, baller move i've ever seen in my life
you know like he there were no niceties there were no um you know hi how are you he came he
said his piece and he left obsessed i mean it's so true tiktok has been a problem for a while in
a lot of different capacities in ways big and small it's affecting true TikTok has been a problem for a while in a lot of different
capacities in ways big and small it's affecting you know kids there's the mental health conversation
there's all these different things about TikTok but what we're seeing now I mean literally a
letter to Osama yeah it's beyond the pale like and by the way this was before the Osama letter
so we had this call and then the next morning Osama bin Laden is trending on TikTok like it couldn't have been more poetic I watched some of those videos of I just read letter to Osama and I'll
never look at the world the same again and like I'll never look at you the same it was so crazy
to watch and it was like there's so many videos they also all kind of uh like parrot the same
language the way that these people speak And they also try to sound like so smart and educated.
Scholarly.
Scholarly, but it's really, really dark.
But anyways, TikTok is a big problem.
I mean, it's been a national security issue for a while.
Now it's an actual security issue
and something has to be done.
But whoever you guys were
on a call with like they're they don't have the power they don't have the power like this is
a Chinese app they are happy to poison this country with this app like it's it's going
how they want it to go yeah no so it was like a fruitless call. And I think everybody knew that. But, you know, what were we going to do?
Say no?
No, of course.
And I'm like, I don't know if someone was supposed to snitch or not, but I'm glad that
it's making headlines.
Yeah, no, me too.
I'm so glad because now I can speak my truth and I wasn't the snitch.
And Sacha Baron Cohen is like a major voice.
Yes.
And I think his voice is also made more potent by the fact that he doesn't use it
all the time for everything. No, he's not like a big speaker outer. Not a big speaker, but when
he speaks, you listen. Yeah. He's also extremely smart. Yeah. And funny. And like well-respected
in his field. And it was just honestly like so crazy. I've actually met him once before at a
party and he was so incredibly nice, him and Isla um but seeing him in this we're so used to seeing him you know a la Dean
seeing him so serious and so poignant and so well spoken and so powerful I was like damn
daddy yeah no that's that's wild I'm glad you could share it was a crazy thing to be a part of let
me tell you I'm glad you could share your experience who invited you um who did invite me
like the maybe it was I don't know I've been like everybody keeps asking me to like sign
these letters I'm just like yeah yeah put my name yeah so I'm not sure I think it was maybe
Eitan but I'm not sure um and you know who's an unproblematic queen who's been boycotting TikTok for a while now?
You.
Me.
Yeah.
Me.
Yeah.
Me.
You guys, get the fuck off TikTok for real.
Like I can't.
Turdy.
No, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
Like, and it's not even an issue for you.
No offense.
Like, it's not even an issue for you no offense like it's
not like wow oh wow it's never been like your place yeah but it does feel like one of those
things that's so big like what impact will me leaving have you know except robbing people of
the joy I bring Sasha said you have an impact yeah yeah yeah I just said but Sasha didn't know
I have like no followers on that app but if it's like if it's a lot of little people like that matters yeah no it was and you shouldn't
be you shouldn't have to see the things that you guys are seeing there in your comments and also
like in your for you like these videos yeah no and that's what people were sharing like not only
is the misinformation such a problem on the app. They have no way to monitor like, you know,
propaganda, sharing photos, you know, that aren't actually from this year. And, you know, people
claiming that they're from yesterday, but the absolute vitriol that gets thrown the way of
Jewish creators. And there are no tools for creators to protect themselves or protect their
mental health. Like you can,
the really one tool that Instagram uses you,
like you can block words.
So like people have literally,
they were sharing like,
I've been blocking the word Anne Frank because people just say Anne Frank
and be like, fuck Anne Frank.
Or Hitler was right.
You can block phrases.
And that tool barely even works
because people will just be like Hitler with two R's,
you know?
Right, or exclamation for the I.
So there was talk about
like different tools that they could implement to protect creators, but that doesn't even solve
the larger issue. It's just protecting creators. And wait, there was another thing. Oh, and you
know, they shared that, you know, in the wake of October 7th, 24 million new fake accounts were made.
24 million.
I don't know if that was the day after the weeks,
and I'm sure a lot of fake accounts get made every day,
but that was like an insane spike.
That is so interesting.
Yeah, there's a lot of bot farming going on too right now. Yes, for sure.
That's part of the war that's being waged on social
media yeah totally because it's it's a front of the war yeah one thousand percent so it was just
a very interesting moment that took a turn I was not expecting wow well I love Sasha like
come over for Shabbat I love you yeah I wonder what's gonna happen with TikTok honestly I
you know like a year ago or months ago there's always this conversation that comes up about like
you know on a federal level like banning TikTok because it's like bad for national security right
they did say on the call like at the beginning before anybody spoke he you know the thing about
China and he was like I can assure you that's not true like Chinese Chinese interests aren't
being funneled that's what he said but like how and
why would that not be right right it's a Chinese owned app right like why wouldn't they use it to
serve whatever ends they want it to serve they want it to and then it reminds me of that thing
I saw in 60 minutes that really stuck with me about TikTok how of course you know they have it
in China because it's a Chinese app but they use they have it in China because it's a Chinese app, but they use it
so differently in China because it's targeted towards youth. Right. But all of the content
is educational. So you can scroll for X amount of time, but you're watching videos about science,
about engineering, about math, about history. Like you're, you're rotting, but you're learning.
No, you're not watching people slap each other in the face with a tortilla.
And then when you compare it to the content on american tiktok which is moronic yeah it's it does feel like this feels like a tool
right but it's like i right now miss the moronic use of tiktok harmless because now it's being used
for probably damaging harmful way one thousand percent but even even, but like, but it's been, it's been bad for years.
So,
I don't know what will be.
Me neither.
Very interesting.
Our next story is also crazy.
What is it?
Diddy is the subject of a NYPD criminal investigation,
apparently,
and it involves a sexual assault.
So,
Diddy is the subject
of a secret NYPD investigation,
and although it's unclear if his ex Cassie made the criminal complaint,
there is strong evidence it involves sexual assault.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ there's an open case at the NYPD
with the name Sean Combs.
We're told this is an active case, but the case file has been locked,
essentially meaning it's a sensitive case where access is restricted.
As TMZ reported, Cassie has followed an explosive federal lawsuit
which alleges rape and human trafficking, among other accusations.
That's insane.
TMZ inquired about the case to the NYPD,
and they responded with this statement,
the NYPD takes sexual assault and rape cases extremely seriously
and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report
so we can perform a comprehensive investigation.
So we know like nothing.
It would seem also that not only is this a sexual assault case,
but the NYPD is actively looking for other alleged victims.
Right.
So they're not giving us much,
but we know that there is an investigation and damn, like human.
An investigation and a lawsuit filed by Cassie.
Also in this lawsuit,
she accuses Diddy of blowing up Kid Cudi's car in,
um,
in 2012.
So Diddy allegedly blew up Kid Cudi's car after he discovered Kid Cudi was
wooing his former girlfriend,
Cassie,
while they were on a break in the shocking abuse lawsuit that Cassie filed
against Diddy.
She claims the rapper became so enraged about her new
romance that he warned her around the time of paris fashion week in 2012 that he would blow up
cuddy's car around that time kid cuddy's car exploded in his driveway oh my god this is like
a movie yeah no this is seriously no and human trafficking human so I mean it could mean any number of things but it
could also you know passing her around oh my god oh my god no yeah yeah it's very limited what we
know but like the allegations are extremely severe yeah oh and then also I saw this morning that
someone else is now coming forward.
His other ex once claimed that he stomped on her stomach and dragged her by his hair.
So this is his ex, Gina, claimed that the rapper stomped on her stomach,
punched her in the head during their five-year relationship.
She goes by the nickname Virginia V. She leveled the allegations in a 2019 interview and that has resurfaced
in light of
Cassie's bombshell lawsuit against Diddy. I imagine for Cassie to have launched an investigation and
the lawsuit, she's probably been keeping a record for a very long time because he's a very powerful
person. And I think people make allegations and probably most of them are true against powerful people and they don't stick unless you have years and years like things that the public and the police can't ignore.
Yeah. And some of the other details from the lawsuit that she filed where she accused him of rape and repeated physical abuse.
She said that she met him in 2005 when she was only 19 he allegedly began a
pattern of abuse and control that included allegedly forcing her to have sex with male
prostitutes while he filmed physically abusing her and supplying her with drugs she also alleged
that he forced his way into her home and raped her towards the end of their longtime relationship in 2018 holy shit like every manner of of horror horror abuse oh fuck this man
yeah ew like gross hate for life yeah done canceled canceled actually canceled
you would hope yeah i know it's like when someone's so powerful like he's really such a
purveyor of culture and he's been famous for so many years like it's very when someone's so powerful, like he's really such a purveyor of culture and has been famous for so many
years.
Like it's very difficult to act like this is a person when we talk about
cancel culture,
like this is who should be canceled.
This is a criminal,
like a very violent criminal.
And it's like,
you know,
Harvey Weinstein.
Right.
In the sense of like,
you think this person has so much power,
it can be taken down.
Right.
But it takes like,
it takes like it
takes everyone yeah collectively and Harvey Weinstein you know was uh there were criminal
charges against him so he literally was canceled because he's going to jail you know or if he's in
jail I don't even know so I well so there's the lawsuit of her versus him but there is also the
NYPD criminal investigation
and they are looking for other victims it seems I pray for swift justice yeah I'm so sorry
that this girl who was 19 had to endure this
terrible terrible story yeah terrible terrible terrible, terrible story.
And such graphic allegations, you know?
Yeah.
And I mean, there's even more in the lawsuit.
Oh, I'm sure that,
and I'm sure because it's sensitive, it's sealed.
There's that, yeah, there's the sealed case,
but then also the lawsuit,
like that's just scratches the surface.
There's a number of incidents.
It's incredibly brave,
incredibly brave to do this.
This is a person who's so well-connected, who's so powerful, who's so wealthy.
Yeah.
And has been for 20 years.
Like that's like that's insane power.
Like those are that's like an immovable force.
Yeah.
Very, very brave.
And.
Fuck him.
Swift justice.
Yeah.
Our next story.
Switching gears a little.
Ariana Grande supports her boyfriend, Ethan Slater,
at the opening night of his musical, Spamalot.
No, and he was filmed by TMZ yesterday,
leaving the courthouse for his divorce proceedings.
Yeah, like, it's too much.
It's too much.
Ariana Grande was spotted supporting her boyfriend,
former SpongeBob, Ethan Slater,
for the opening night of his musical.
Did you say former Spongebob?
Yeah, because he played Spongebob on Broadway.
Where's the lie?
No, there is not a lie.
I was just wanting to make sure I heard you right.
The songstress was photographed.
Unless it's like once you're a Spongebob,
you're always a Spongebob.
Once a Bob, always a Bob.
Like, kind of like being an Olympian. Like, you're not a former olympian you're always an olympian right
that's a good question i guess we'd have to ask the bob himself
sound off in the comments once a spongebob always a spongebob
title title title title alert the song she's just photographed getting out of an suv as she
arrived to watch spam a lot on broadway you know me she's british now oh the crown is out
so exciting the whole season netflix doesn't do that to us except for love is blind yeah
um i don't know You just threw me off.
Sorry, sorry.
She glammed up for the occasion sporting a black strapless velvet dress,
sheer gloves, and pearl earrings.
She wore her blonde hair up in a ponytail with a bright lead lip.
Yeah, she looked gorgeous.
That's not the story.
No, no, no, it's not.
I saw a lot of pictures, like people sneaking pictures of her inside the theater.
Very supportive.
I guess in a way, I'm glad they're still together like if you're gonna blow up his life like at least let it be for
something you know yeah I guess she's ready to take her relationship out on the town they started
dating in July and it's November okay so I just I feel like we need to keep a time like keep that
in mind so they've been dating you know probably six months at this point and Ari doesn't care no and I know we talked about
this story like at length when it when it dropped but did we make note of Ariana Grande having the
worst taste in men like no like even the guy she married like who right I didn't think he was that cute Big Sean she she had a good uh eye
when she was dating Big Sean she yeah I feel like they're kind of OTP even though I know he's like
literally in a 10-year relationship and they're very happy and then she was with Ricky whoever
that is right he was the one who encouraged her about Ricky she he was the one who encouraged
her to lick the donuts that was like her bad gal era. So that's a bad guy.
Right.
Now I listen and laugh.
Pete Davidson is not
a bad guy.
No.
I don't like I was
talking more like looks.
I don't think he's that
great.
And Mac Miller is not
a bad guy.
But I just feel like
the crop of men and
now this one I'm like
you're the biggest star
in the world.
Like pull a Taylor
Swift.
Like do a flip with Travis Kelsey, you know?
Pull a Taylor Swift.
I hope Taylor's inspiring people.
To like just go for the obvious choice.
Yeah, like shoot for the moon.
Who's sexiest man alive?
Him.
By the way, it's so funny because like when a really handsome guy
like dates the most obvious looking like girl who's just like a model,
honestly, it bothers me.
I'm like, just do something crazy, like date a chubby girl, you know? But when a girl does's just like a model. Honestly, it bothers me. I'm like, just do something crazy.
Like date a chubby girl, you know?
But when a girl does it, I love it.
Like go for the hottest thing you can find in your life.
No, but even if Ari was just dating a male model,
like that wouldn't do it for me.
It would be better.
Like, unless it was like, you know,
the biggest model like that I heard of.
Yeah, but you couldn't even name one.
Who's the biggest male model?
I cannot name one.
Who's just a model by trade who doesn't act or sing?
Who's a male model?
I haven't known a male model since I watched 8th in Motion.
Amazing reference.
No, I mean that.
Most famous.
There was that guy for many years who was like Ralph Lauren, Nacho.
Oh, and then there's that guy from the Kardashians, 365.
What?
Or that guy from, he was on the Kardashians in Milan.
He's not a model.
He's an actor.
Michelle.
Michelle, yeah.
Okay.
Tell me if you know any of these people.
Alton Mason. No. Jordan Barrett. Yeah. Okay. Tell me if you know any of these people. Alton Mason.
No.
Jordan Barrett.
No.
Tyson Beckford.
That sounds familiar.
And let me know if you know any of them.
Mark Vanderloo.
No.
Oh, interesting.
Derek Zoolander's name is loosely based on Vanderloo.
Okay, so he must have been a big deal.
Lucky Blue Smith.
Actually, that name sounds familiar.
Yes.
Oh, Zach Miko.
Do you know him?
No.
He made headlines in 2016.
I remember this story making him IMG models
and the fashion industry's first plus size male model star.
He's very brawn looking.
I actually, I remember that story.
Is he actually like, is he actually famous no no oh i thought you were asking if he was actually fat
no no is he is he actually a big star no brad and hudson cronig no armando craball
no okay this is fruitless okay shawn opy and I only know him he's the model
in the blank space music video okay okay so say he's the biggest male model in the world
if Ari started dating him I would be into that yeah
I can't believe there's not like one name that we're like missing you know like
the classic oh yeah I mean like David Beckham is on this list that's not like one name that we're like missing, you know, like the classic. Oh yeah.
I mean like David Beckham is on this list.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
But all the people,
all these lists say the same couple of people and I've never heard of them.
We need to talk more about that.
We need to talk more about that.
Why is it so hard for male models to break out?
Because I feel like male models,
when it comes to like spreads and stuff,
like they're just background.
Like.
No, but like there are as many men's companies and brands as there are women's.
For real.
Why don't they become famous?
Yeah, like Xenia.
Ralph Lauren, anything.
Yeah, I feel like there was an era where Ralph Lauren had a couple of classic male models.
Brooks Brothers.
Oh, Lauren.
What is that guy's name that everybody,
like,
I think he was in Gossip Girl.
Nacho, yeah.
It's like the classic guy.
But he says,
I'm not a model.
I'm a polo player.
So weird.
Someone needs to
look into this.
Somebody,
like somebody's goal,
like somebody needs to become the biggest male model of all time.
Cause I could name a hundred female models right now.
I can name a thousand from any generation.
There was like the eighties and nineties,
the early two thousands.
Like right now,
not one male bottle.
Who do you think is the biggest model in the world right now?
Kendall? Probably still Kendall yeah good for her yeah but I feel like there's we're due for like uh it's I mean I think it's Kaya Gerber but she's still a little green yeah but I feel like there's
we're due for like a new not generation they're all the same generation like a new wave yeah
no they're actually not all the same age like Kaya gerber's super young no but not the same age but they're
still the same generation yeah it's like eight years different where's like the 16 year old
carly claus who was like at prom got discovered and the next day went to the met gala yeah we're
due for some fresh faces yeah and may the industry may the industry protect them may the industry have learned what was the
story here all right supporting ethan slater oh okay yeah let's get back to that um i'm not here
for it i'm just gonna be negative on this one like why i mean i don't think anybody's here for it
it's still a little soon honestly i mean he's literally still in court for his divorce i saw
him yesterday leaving the courthouse no like maybe when his daughter goes to college, he could start dating and stepping out
with his new woman. But until then, no. No, it's hella disrespectful. It's too soon. Not for them
to be dating because they are obviously dating. It's too soon for them to be rubbing everyone's
face in it. Publicly. Yeah, I completely agree. And I just maybe I can't get behind this because
I don't think they're a good couple. And like,'t like want this I have to imagine they're the most in love couple
of all time I don't think that they are I think it's so Ari I think she's just like very whimsical
she's like I'll leave my wife for you she's like great and in a few months she might change her
mind like I think she's just very fly by the seat of her pants type of energy. A little bit destructive, you know? Yeah.
If I had to guess.
It's a fair guess.

Our next story.
Yes.
Fans demand to know if rapper Snoopop dog is okay after he announced he
will stop smoking weed so snoop dog posted saying quote i'm giving up smoke he said after much
consideration and conversation with my family i've decided to give up smoke please respect my privacy
at this time so of course people are saying you know a world Snoop without smoke is like earth without water. Of course. Other people are saying that maybe he's launching a line of edibles or vapes.
Okay.
Love that idea.
Because he didn't say I'm giving up weed, even though I don't think he talks like that.
But I think he calls it smoke.
I think people, you know, in the know call it that.
But it could be a play on words because this is a brilliant marketing
move. Just absolutely brilliant. Because I don't, I think if Snoop Dogg ever wanted to stop smoking
weed, like go off King. We love that. I don't think he would share it, honestly, because it's
such an integral part of his brand and he's built, you know, a real business off of being that guy.
And let's say he did stop smoking. I think he would probably never tell us. He would just keep pretending, you know, smoking tobacco or whatever. Like I don't, I don't
think he would actually tell us. I don't think this is like a, a transparent move. I do. I like
that. I like that idea. I think if he decided to stop engaging with, with the smoke, marijuana
completely, I think he would tell people because
I think he's an authentic, genuine guy.
I don't know. When it's such an integral part
of your brand.
I think for some people it's like my brand is me
whatever decisions I make are on brand for me
because that is me. And I think he
is a genuine
creator. I do.
I love the call about edibles.
But I think it's that he's
giving up smoke here are my brownies yeah because this made waves especially within the smoke
community yeah when was the last time you smoked pot what a great question I'm going to probably need your help. Maybe like, maybe during COVID.
Oh, really?
Once.
Yeah, remember that one time we got together?
I can't remember if I participated though.
I know other people were smoking.
Where were we?
I can't say.
Oh, because you don't remember because you were high?
No, I remember everything.
I can't remember.
Oh, I think I know what you're talking about.
I actually don't think I smoked during COVID because I was vaping more so.
I can't remember last time.
I feel like maybe it was like even that Coachella 2019.
That's what I was going to say.
Or Stagecoach.
Oh, yeah.
Then two weeks later, yeah, we had a grand old time.
But then I feel like I would have smoked again because I had such a good time.
And then I would have like had a bad been like oh I don't know your last time had to
have been a bad time not bad but just like enough for me to be like this isn't for me yeah I think
my last time smoking pot maybe ever was Bonnwee when was that when did that clip go viral three
to four months ago I thought you're gonna say years no you just say everything is three to
four months maybe like a year more than a year actually because I know I'm gonna say years no you just say everything is three to four months
maybe like a year more than a year actually because I know I was pretty fat in that clip so
yeah and that was the last time I feel like you smoked recently no I like don't like you're
kind of always smoking really no no I really don't like pot like at all it makes me very paranoid
really don't like pot like at all it makes me very paranoid it's just not my personality like if I want to chill like I'll just go read I don't know I need no help in the chill department yeah
that's how I feel right like I would be more likely to take like ecstasy because you know
getting up is hard for me you know getting it up is hard for you getting it up yeah no like
I need energy I don't need I need drugs energy. I don't need, I need drugs for energy.
I don't need drugs for like chilling.
Yeah.
Like if I have the opportunity to chill, I'm just going to take it.
Yeah.
No, but if somebody wants to go out on it, like, all right, I'm going to need someone
to like crush up an Adderall or something.
Right.
I also like don't need, at this point in my life, like I don't want to be out of my own
mind.
Yeah.
No, I mean, you have children to care for like that.
I understand.
No, but that's how I felt about drinking at a certain point too like like people drink to take the edge off like I
like my edges you know I don't want to be blurry no I agree I I'm like the just personality wise
like the opposite of someone who like wants or needs pot like I don't know what to call pot
every time we talk about pot everybody makes fun of us like what do people call it smoke smoke why don't we talk like snoop smoke I'm just the opposite
type of person the way my brain is wired for smoke like I agree I very much like to be in control
yeah yeah so I agree I don't those few times why did we enjoyed so much at
stagecoach and Coachella well there's something about being so far from home so it's you're in
the desert like you're so far removed there's music there's drinks there Well, there's something about being so far from home. So it's, you're in the desert.
Like you're so far removed.
There's music, there's drinks, there's lights, there's vibes.
Like, oh, actually, I'm sorry.
I know, by the way, the last time.
That's a situation where like, I can't bring myself to chill out.
It's very like high strung.
Like it's actually the perfect vibe.
Okay.
By the way, I just remember the last time I smoked pot was at Stagecoach.
Like somebody was passing it around during Luke Bryan. I was like if not now when and I had drank
I had drank all day this year this year I had drank all day so I figured like it wouldn't hit
me that much and of course like I'm watching Luke Bryan perform and I'm like paranoid about it like
it wasn't even enjoyable that's the last time and that's why I haven't smoked in a long time
because it wasn't enjoyable got it those two times when we were in 2019 were hysterical hysterical it also just depends like where you are the vibes also depends
on the pot itself yeah no I would love I would love to be the type of person who like after a
really fucking horrible day that could just wind down with some pot like how great would that be
but I'll just end up paranoid for like sleep terribly and eat a shit ton.
But if you're able to wind down without pot, then why would you want to be the type of person? No, like if I had a very hard, stressful day and like I can't unwind and like I'm just feeling, people feel anxious and then smoke.
Yeah.
I'm like, no, no, I am, I smoke and then I feel anxious.
So when you feel anxious, what do you do?
Like complain, take a bath.
Papa Zan? No, I? Like complain, take a bath. Pop a Xan?
No, I don't really.
I just drink.
In my heyday, I think maybe I was a little bit more, you know, open to things.
But everything makes me paranoid now.
Even the Xanax?
Friendly Fire?
I don't take Xanax.
I haven't taken Xanax in years and I miss it.
I just, I just, I don't know why I don't feel compelled.
But also, you know, I don't want to jinx it.
I've had like a pretty good, you know, like two years in terms of like mental health.
So like I haven't needed it.
That's good.
But I was definitely taking Xanax a lot during COVID.
I mean, who wasn't?
Totally. That was a who wasn't? Totally.
That was a nice clear of the throat.
And also, I would have to take Xanax more when I used to drink.
Yes, same. So I could sleep
off the hangover. Yeah, and
the moral hangover. Of course. And the anxiety.
Oh my God.
Do you miss it? It's a vicious cycle.
No, I don't.
I'm off the sauce.
We will be getting you drunk. One night on vacation. Okay, that don't. Okay. I'm off the sauce. We will be getting you drunk one night on vacation.
Okay, that's fine.
Just bring Xanax.
And we will take care of you the next day.
We'll watch the kids.
Like, we'll do everything.
Actually, I was going to say, I haven't taken Xanax, like, in years
because I've either been pregnant or nursing.
But then Chantal did tell me I could take Xanax while breastfeeding.
Don't tell me that.
Go question.
I wouldn't want again.
I don't want to be out of my own mind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we'll see about that vacation plan.
OK.
Maybe some drinks.
OK.
Our fifth and final story is kind of a story we've been waiting for for 10 years.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
And today's the day.
Ted, the series. Oh, my God. Coming to Peac peacock i saw this on your instagram you broke the news for you know who broke the news for me who
cade posted it yeah yeah for fans of the ted movies a new series focused on the events in
the years before the movies is coming to peacock early early next year. Set in 1993, the Ted series acts as a prequel
to the two comedy movies featuring the titular
talking teddy bear.
Ted prequel.
Seth MacFarlane is the series director,
executive producer, writer, and co-showrunner.
So it's 93.
How old is Ted and Mark Wahlberg?
Mark Wahlberg is probably the age he was
when he got Ted.
So maybe like eight.
Oh, oh, oh.
So Mark Wahlberg's not in it
that's a good point
that's a good point yeah no I guess he's gonna be older because
in the movie a couple of years ago he's 30 yeah so let's say he's 35 now how old were people
in 1993 who are currently 35?
Oh,
wow.
Claudia,
you didn't tell me there's going to be a pop quiz today.
No,
totally.
I don't know.
Uh,
but no,
you're right.
He's not in the cast of characters like his character is,
but not,
I have a hot take.
Like,
I don't think,
I think that the franchise could go on without Mark Wahlberg.
Like I honestly find him a little annoying in the movies.
I agree. Like Ted is the star. Like let's stop pretending he's not yeah no it's all about Ted like this is not make or break it's gonna be a seven episode series
and looks like I'm signing up for Peacock I feel very seen I feel so happy that the franchise lives
on and I think as a society we have failed Seth MacFarlane in not, in not bolstering and like
boosting this franchise into like, it should be as big as Marvel.
Like it's the most brilliant, well done, actually funny, not haha.
It's actually funny.
And we, I mean, I'm not talking about me because you and i supported the shit out of that franchise but everyone else you guys failed comedy you guys
failed ted you guys failed seth mcfarland and i think we collectively owe him an apology that
he's now having to do like a seven episode series at peacock when there should be a third blockbuster film with a premiere as big
as Captain Marvel. Okay I agree that we need Ted 3. It should be bigger than Oppenheimer. Yeah.
Like Ted is bigger than Barbie to me. Ted greater than Barbie. But I don't feel like the movies were
not a success. I think they were very much a success.
It's just was so long ago that we've forgotten.
I actually don't think they would be considered gangbusters.
I think they would be gangbusters.
Let me look it up.
Box office numbers.
I feel like...
Oh.
Ted grossed $218 million in North America
and $330 million overseas for a gross of $550 against a budget of $50 million.
Success.
Let's check Ted too.
I can't, I don't know if it would be better or worse.
I think it would be worse.
Half.
So Ted grossed $80 million in North America and America and 135 million in other territories for a total
of 216 million and they had a bigger budget they had 68 million this time oh that's hard
I struggle with Ted too yeah because Mila Kunis isn't in it and because he just like
it wasn't great enough it wasn't great enough. It wasn't great enough.
And I and I think Mila Kunis not being in it was a plot hole.
And Amanda Seyfried like wasn't the replacement for me.
Amanda Seyfried.
What was the plot of Ted too?
Like Ted's getting his rights because, you know, Fresh Cakes guy wants to steal him.
Honestly, I don't even remember.
Yikes.
Maybe the guy, you know, the guy who wanted to kidnap Ted. Fresh Cakes. Fresh Cakes, wants to steal him. Honestly, I don't even remember. Yikes. Maybe. The guy, you know, the guy who wanted to kidnap Ted.
Fresh Cakes.
Fresh Cakes, of course.
Dana.
He reminds me of Dana.
And by the way, he's also one of the people who signed that letter for Danny Masterson.
Lest we not forget.
Fresh Cakes.
Fresh Cakes.
Anyway, so he goes to the CEO of Hasbro and it's like, you know, Ted is property.
We should be able to make a million.
Like I want to. We should be able to make a million, like I want to,
we should be able
to recreate Ted.
Let's get Ted back
from John Bennett
and then Ted has to go
to the Supreme Court
and advocate like
why he should have rights
and why he's not property.
That's not great.
And like Amanda Seyfried
is their
civil rights lawyer.
Okay.
Yeah.
Maybe,
maybe not.
But Ted won is the greatest piece of art literally of our time and i need to watch it again wait i need to add it to the list of movies yeah
we need to re-watch it's so good i went to new york once in 1981 and i just did not feel safe
once in 1981 and I just did not feel safe we need Seth MacFarlane on the toast I married the wrong woman and now I lead a life of regret so good my voice today sounds really good for that it does
it does do it again I won't interrupt you this time cool thanks I married the wrong woman and
now I lead a life of regret.
No, that scene is so funny
when he's like pretending to be all the fish.
Yeah, what the fish are thinking.
I went to New York once in 1981
and I just did not feel safe.
So good.
So good.
Oh my God, I'm joyous over this.
I will be watching, of course.
We should watch the other Seth MacFarlane show.
Family Guy? Family Guy, yeah yeah like that's the one what are you talking about the Orville oh yeah like sci-fi it's Seth do you think Seth MacFarlane's hot yeah me too like I think he's really
hot but I think it's you know a combination of his looks. His insides influencing his outsides.
Yeah, no, and the influence he's had on the culture.
Wait, but now I need to look at a picture of him, like, objectively.
Like, just, like, looking at eyes, nose, face.
Me too.
By the way, he literally, like, looks like his characters.
Do you know what I mean?
Also, he kind of looks like Taylor Lautner
yeah he does I think he's hot he looks so different yeah I think he's hot but I think
definitely like his inside color his outsides and you love that I mean everyone's insides
color their outside it's true that's why I'm so ugly um I've actually met Seth MacFarlane I can't remember if he was nice I'm sure he was
I would have remembered if he was like nasty so I was probably not you wouldn't support him all
these right no he was probably lovely and he met Ted and I've met the real Ted I have the bear
she's seen the bear I've seen the bear many times and I've like I've fought over it so many times I
keep hoping like it'll be given to me as a gift you're like oh I
know how much it
meant to you here
take it you know
I think that on set
they have like multiple
Ted's like they really
only have one bear
no so I think that
they have multiple
bears but I believe
that the bear that I
came in contact with
was the bear used in
the studio for CGI
like they didn't need
a million in the
studio like Ted
wasn't on set Jackie CGI yeah
you okay CGI right right right right right
so that's our show that is our show our final of the week hope everybody enjoyed it and hope
everybody has a joyous blessed weekend filled with holiday cheer and the amazing news is that
the next time we see you guys merch will be available yes so it's shop toast merch.com
it'll be live at 10 a.m eastern time we are launching two different sets they both come
with matching sweatpants jackie's wearing the wenchy lights. I am wearing the wenchy reindeer. I am wearing a size medium for a more fitted look.
But of course, oversized is still is still cool. Like I could also do a large. What size are you
wearing? I'm wearing extra large. It's too big on me. Oh, I'm I've never thought I'd say those
words about anything large. If I wanted oversized, I should have gone with large. And keep in mind
that it is pre-order
so it's not going to sell out we're going to leave it up probably for two whole days so everybody can
place their orders get everything they want in terms of sizing and then we will close the store
and start producing the sweatshirts and shipping out your orders so also it's worth noting that
these sweatshirts and sweatpants are not are not the same as any that we've made before we have
launched by the way we have done a completely,
complete revamp of our merch.
We have moved companies.
We have moved vendors.
We have moved everything.
So this is much higher quality.
Yeah.
So these sweatshirts and sweatpants are not like comparable to like a different set.
It's not going to be the same quality or fit.
Like these are far superior in my opinion.
And I'm really excited for you guys
to get your hands on them.
Yes. So totally new merch, totally new everything. We're trying to keep the prices. It's more expensive stuff superior in my opinion and I'm really excited for you guys to get your hands on them yes so totally
new merch totally new everything we're trying to keep the prices it's more expensive stuff that
we're using we are trying to keep the prices as low as possible but it will be more expensive
than our last draw yeah so just keep that in mind um but the quality is there and it's like
the coziest thing I wore my ones set all day yesterday and I was just in heaven me too and
it's really warm.
Yeah.
That's our show, you guys.
Thank you so much for listening to the show.
But not that heavy thick.
Again, it's not comparable to anything else.
But when you say really warm.
It's not the same as the Redheads one.
Redheads are how you durn.
Yeah.
Those were like a thick stock.
Yeah.
This is not thick stock. It's actually pretty thin.
But it's not thin.
Because thin would be like the second Redheads collection.
Yeah.
Yeah.
